ZONE FAM MEMBER DOPE G FINALLY BREAKS SILENCE ON THE DEPARTURE OF THUGGA FROM ZONEFAM

dope g,rapper from award winning group zone fam has something to say on his instagram

It has been a tough period for the team, so much so that I personally failed to make a statement any earlier than today about this. Social media did its best to rub it in and i guess that helped in accepting that this is the new reality. Despite having known for months, finally announcing@IamThugga's departure really opened up a floodgate of emotions that we had managed to start blocking away. Having travelled this journey with him as a key member of the team for so long, the void left by his departure shall be felt greatly and the only consolation we have is still having him as a brother and a friend. The other beautiful thing is that he has not been taken away from the fans either as you will still get to hear his music just with a different focal point. During this period of his transformation, he has brought such an array of light within the team and it gives us joy knowing that he shall share this with the world. I was gonna do a series of tweets talking about our experiences in the past with the hashtag#WhyThuggaNeededJesus but I will spare him.lol. I encourage everyone to hear him out and support him as he walks this new path. As for @ZoneFam , well, this has been a reminder that nothing lasts forever and even we shall one day bid farewell to you. Bitter as this may be, it puts us in a position to do every single thing like it were our last and put our hearts in it wholly to build a legacy worthy of being remembered by so we working. From this point Zone Fam can only go in 'one direction'.lol. I had to guys. Stay blessed.

Barbie who? Black dolls to fill gap in African market

With a booming economy in Nigeria and more black children than anywhere else in the world, Taofick Okoya was dismayed when he could not find a black doll for his niece.

The 43-year-old spotted a gap in the market and, with little competition from foreign firms such as Mattel Inc, the maker of Barbie, he set up his own business. He outsourced manufacturing of doll parts to low-cost China, assembled them onshore and added a twist – traditional Nigerian costumes.

Seven years on, Okoya sells between 6,000 and 9,000 of his Queens of Africa and Naija Princesses a month, and reckons he has 10-15% of a small but fast-growing market.

“I like it,” says Ifunanya Odiah, five, struggling to contain her excitement as she inspects one of Okoya’s dolls in a Lagos shopping mall. “It’s black, like me.”

While multinational companies are flocking to African markets, Okoya’s experience suggests that, in some areas at least, there is still an opportunity for domestic businesses to establish themselves by using local knowledge to tap a growing, diverse and increasingly sophisticated middle class.

There’s no doubt about Nigeria’s economic potential. Economist Jim O’Neill has this year popularised it as one of the Mint countries – alongside Mexico, Indonesia and Turkey – that he sees as successors to the first wave of emerging markets he dubbed the Brics (Brazil, Russia and India and China).

With about 170 million people, Nigeria is Africa’s most populous country by far, and its economy is growing at about 7%, vying with South Africa as the continent’s largest.

Several multinational firms have been on the continent for years. Drinks group Diageo, for example, sells more Guinness in Nigeria than in the beer’s traditional home market of Ireland; South African grocer Shoprite has seven profitable stores in Nigeria and plans to roll out hundreds.

Drug Dealers Call the Cops On Teen Customers Who Stole Their Weed

Cops say that two Ohio men who called 911 to report being robbed (by a group of teenagers, as they all practiced medieval sword fighting in a Taco Bell parking lot) forgot to mention that they were actually selling the teenagers weed at the time.

The parking lot dealers, Sebastian Wozniak and Anthony Klier, told police they "met a group of teenagers in the parking lot of a Westlake Taco Bell on Sept. 4 to practice medieval sword-fighting."

Although Wozniak and Klier refused to tell police what the teenagers stole, authorities quickly deduced it was a drug deal gone bad.

Police say that was really happened was that Wozniak had gotten into a car with the teenagers intending to sell them $80 worth of marijuana. Instead, one of the kids pepper sprayed Wozniak, stole Wozniak's weed from him, and and ran off with it.

Both Wozniak and Klier have been arrested and charged with trafficking marijuana and obstructing justice. The band of teenagers, it

SABOI IMBOELA RUBBISHES REPORTS THAT SHE IS 7 MONTHS PREGNANT

Saboi Imboela
Local Artist and Career Woman Saboi Imboila has rubbished a report carried by the Zambia Intelligence News Website that she is 7 months Pregnant.
Saboi who recently obtained her Masters Degree in Law said she was astonished to read an article claiming that she was seven months pregnant when not.

Saboi laughed about it and described it as a joke and further went to encourage the author of an article to get facts rights before publishing such stories.

Saboi also bragged about her Masters Degree in Law she recently obtained, stating that she is currently committed to her work and will not have a fourth child in the next 2 years.

Below is what Saboi wrote on her facebook page….

“Saboi Imboela It seems like people never like it when im quiet. I just read on the Zambian Intelligence website that im 7 months pregnant kekekekekekekekekekekeke. I think some people are not only crazy but obsessed with i dont know what…. Im a good planner- always have been. In case the writer of that article doesnt know- I only got my masters degree last year and im now working in my dream job, as well as part-time lecturer at UNZA. What this means is that iam not getting pregnant for another 2 years because this time is for solidifying my career- Thats just me and the way i plan…. I mixed babies with school when i was at UNZA as a student- and it aint easy. So im NOT getting pregnant until i earn the time to go on 4 months maternity leave at work- and that happens after clocking 2 years in most jobs. So whoever that so-called concerned friend is i would like to say that im below 40 and i love children and I WILL CERTAINLY GET PREGNANT AGAIN- But just not now. So my friend- so sorry to disappoint u- but u are NOT having a niece or nephew anytime soon- at least NOT from me. IM A CAREER WOMAN- and i already have 3 kids so im NOT in a rush for baby number 4. So to the author of that joke that has made us laugh at the office all day, il do 3 things for you. 1. I will try to lose wait so that maybe when i weigh 70Kgs i will look slim and not pregnant kekekekekeke. 2. Reduce eating coz im enjoying life so much iv forgoten to go to the gym. 3. Seems like iv been so quiet so u just want me to talk- so sory for my silence dear friend but iv been too busy working and trying to ensure that i save the children, constitution and other things that my job requires me to do, such that i forgot that there are people like u that love me so much and always want me to talk- BELIEVE u me- i will talk and post some pictures for u soonest so that u stop missing me so much and writing the first thing that comes to your mind. BUt thanx for making our day today, sincerely i have not laughed like that in a long time- and because of u today i will even post this on all my facebook pages- so u have won your objective- U HAVE MADE ME TALK- kekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekeke, awe shuwa mweeeeeeeeeee….. # i love u too#”
