How to Maintain Your Virgin Hair

Nigeria contact: +2347031309117

YOU WILL NEED THE FOLLOWING ITEMS TO MAINTAIN YOUR BRAZILIAN VIRGIN HAIR:

1. Loop paddled brush- this brush is not an ordinary wig brush. The bristles has loops so that the hair doesn't shed during brushing. Its not as harsh as the typical wig brush which causes a lot of shedding. when untangling your virgin hair, always make sure you start from THE BOTTOM and work your way to the top, using your loop paddled brush. This will make the hair even more unlikely to shed.

 2. Herbal Essences "Hello Hydration"  shampoo and conditioner. It is in a Blue Bottle. I find this shampoo very moisturizing yet gentle on the virgin hair.The key word is MOISTURIZING. during washing if  your virgin hair is installed, only wash while you are in the shower with your BACK FACING THE WATER so that hair is getting wet going in a downward motion. Do not rub while washing instead,  use the "squeeze method". only directly scrub the SCALP as much as possible. Also, while washing  your virgin hair, I recommend condition the virgin  hair as the first step,  then, second step shampoo, and then  last step, CONDITION again. Conditioning the hair as the first step is to prevent tangling during shampooing, and the last step to retain a good moisture. , remember to untangle virgin hair using your LOOP PADDLED BRUSH before getting the virgin hair wet. DO NOT USE EXTREMELY HOT WATER ON YOUR VIRGIN HAIR, this could damage the hair in its self. luke warm to cool water is needed to shampoo and condition the hair. If you purchased wavy textured hair, its best to let it Air dry so that it can wave up to your desire. Conditioning the hair is very important.  During the times that you want to wash your hair while it is installed, you do not always have to shampoo it. Conditioning it is good enough. You want to wash the hair at least once every two weeks.  Do not ever use any African American hair products on your virgin hair. Brazilian hair is actually raw Spanish hair therefore you will need to use Caucasian products. From my experience,  Pantene Pro V MOISTURIZING shampoo and conditioner OR Herbal Essences in a blue bottle called "Hello Hydration" . I find the Herbal essences a better product. The shampoo and conditioner is awesome. I use only those two products when maintenancing virgin hair when servicing my clients.  There's also a product that I like to use called Coconut Milk by a brand called OrganiX . it is a light oil  to moisturize your virgin hair. Again, only a small amount is needed to saturate the hair. you can find it at your local Walgreens, or Walmart. Coconut Milk can be applied on wet or dry hair. Remember, during the washing process, whether you wash your  virgin hair when it is installed or not, NO HOT WATER TEMPERATURES ON YOUR VIRGIN HAIR.

 3. Another good oil for the Virgin hair is Argon Morocco oil . use when you want to moisturize the hair or when it is dry. It's also a good idea to use it prior to blow drying the hair if you choose. *The Brazilian hair goes back to wavy after its wet ONLY if you let it air dry. Blow drying it will make it straight. * Do NOT use any tea tree oil products at ALL on the Brazilian hair this really dries the hair out badly.  Do NOT USE any oil Sheen or lotion moisturizers.   Do NOT use any leave in conditioners...these things will weigh the hair down really bad. When using your Morocco oil, only a DIME SIZE amount is needed to moisturize the entire head. The oil is rich therefore you will only need a small amount or else it makes the hair look weighed down * Brazilian hair iron curls immaculately.  However, you do not want to put heat to this hair every day because you will damage the texture. Consider buying flexible rods to quickly make beautiful curls without damaging the hair. *Should the hair begin to shed, you may want to consider having it taken down and the wefts sealed. I also offer those services for a reasonable fee. Be sure to choose a moisturizing color and deep conditioning if you decide to dye or Ombre' your virgin hair. During my services in maintaining Brazilian hair, I use Creme of Nature because it has an outstanding moisturizing system such as Argon Morocco oil. If you would like to wash the virgin after it is removed, 1.use a big bowl, add warm water to the bowl with about 3-4 drops of shampoo.  2.Use the swishing motion to wash the hair.do not rub the hair, rinse with warm water running in the bowl...repeat the same steps with conditioner. *** Let hair AIR DRY if you are washing it while it is not installed. ***at night keep hair covered in a silk bonnet, or something satin...DO NOT USE OR SLEEP on any cotton material while wearing virgin hair. This will severely dry the hair out. To maintain the wave, put hair in two twists,  pin the hair back before tying silk or satin material on the head. If you have any other questions please feel free to give me a call 443-221-1586. Thanks!

What is Indian Remy Hair?



Remy vs. Non-Remy Remy - Cuticles intact, facing the same direction to reduce tangling Hair will typically have more shine to it and a little smoother texture Non-Remy - cuticles are not facing same direction, which causes more tangling. Also, some processing will completely wipe out the cuticle, which will leave hair shinier but will have more tangling than Remy. NOTE: All Human Hair tangles to an extent. No human hair is perfect, that is how you know it is human. Hair that doesn't have a flaw is almost assuredly synthetic or at least has a synthetic mix. Single Drawn vs. Double Drawn Single Drawn - hair that comes from one single donor (person). A woman's normal hair is not the exact same length throughout. Hair running down her back is going to be longer than hair in the front and middle of her hair, this is normal with human hair. This is why you will get some hairs that are shorter than others; once again this is normal with human hair. (The majority of hair on the retail market is Single Drawn) Double Drawn - hair that comes from multiple donors. Time is taken to pick hairs from multiple donors so that the majority of the hair (about 88-90%) is the same length. This hair is more expensive than Single Drawn hair because it takes much more time to sift through the hair and match up the lengths. Raw Virgin vs. Virgin Raw Virgin - refers specifically to the hair shaved off the head of 14 to 18 year old Hindu Virgins during the Vestial temple renunciation ceremonies. It is very expensive, about 50-65% more expensive than Retail Virgin Indian hair. Virgin - This is hair that has not been processed with chemicals in any way since being shaved from the donor's head. This hair is sold in different grades at the street level (A-C Grade depending on where you get it). Pure Remy uses only A-Grade Virgin Indian Remy in our products. Notes: Look for word play (100% Virgin, Color 1 or 100% Virgin, Romance Curl) Processing Pure Remy uses very light chemical processing when making our textured products. Easier on the hair and safer for the client Will naturally fade over 7-14 days. Chemicals should naturally fade out of the hair over time, if you have to wash the hair multiple times to get the chemical out, the hair has been over-processed. The hair should go back to its natural state after a while, if it doesn't you know it is either synthetic mix or over-processed. Remember, this is 100% Human Hair, it is not perfect (humans are not perfect, neither is their hair). Curling Irons, Flat Irons, Roller Sets This is why proper care and using a Stylist is a necessity! Pure Remy extensions will last 6-9 months (or longer) with proper care, but we do not recommend leaving extensions in longer than 90 days. Hair needs to be cleaned, conditioned and cared for. Leaving hair in longer than this is not good for your natural hair, even if the extensions will last longer than that.

HAIRST
There are a number of hairstyles for people with straight or curly hair. You can choose different kinds of hairstyles like curly hairstyles, emo hairstyles, Japanese hairstyles, long hairstyles, short hairstyles, medium hairstyles and formal hairstyles. However, one must always take into account the shape of his or her face when selecting any type of haircut. Ask your friends and family, or even your barber, for advice. Use the internet to research different styles or log on to virtual hairstyle web sites where you can see how certain styles look on you before setting foot in the salon.


HAIRCUT
Before going for haircut, you can upload your photos and do countless makeovers on a photo of yourself and see what you look like with different hairstyles. But be adventurous! Your hair will always grow back, so experiment and try hairstyles you think may suit you. Patience is important when experimenting with different hairstyles. You may find that many may not complement the shape of your face or your skin tone. But keep trying because hairstyle can change your both your style and image.

INDIAN HAIR When Indian hair extensions dry they tend to create a beautiful wave that ranges for a slight wave to extra wavy.  However, Indian hair is very workable and both straightens and curls very easily.  Indian hair holds curls well but does slightly loosen, never totally falling out unless in a damp or humid environment.  We invite you to explore of offering of our 100% virgin Indian Remy hair. BRAZILIAN HAIR Silkier and shinier than Indian hair, Brazilian hair is offered in wavy, curly, and straight textures.  Brazilian curly hair tend to hold curls well and often maintains curls longer than Indian hair.  Brazilian straight hair textures are mostly straight but tend to curly beautifully at the ends.  We invite you to shop the 100% virgin AAAA grade Brazilian Hair offered by Triple Lengths. PERUVIAN HAIR Peruvian Hair extensions are thicker and a little more coarse than Indian and Brazilian Hair. This hair type blends well with typical African-American relaxed hair textures as well as medium Caucasian hair textures.  Peruvian hair is offered in wavy, curly, and straight textures.  The curly texture tends to be even more curly when wet or washed.  Shop our Peruvian hair now!

What's the Difference between Brazilian, Malaysian, Peruvian Hair?

 There are some differences between all 3 types of hair. The differences are more apparent in the hair's reaction to water, heat or air drying. You will defiantly notice the difference after a couple weeks of wear.




SIMILARITIES
All virgin hair types have natural movement and should have minimal shedding and tangling. Each texture can be processed in wavy, straight or curly. With virgin Hair you will notice colors are not even through out the bulk. You will find a few strands maybe lighter or darker than the rest of the weft. This is normal and typical of hair from a sunny country where hair lightens with exposure to the sun. 

DIFFERENCES
  Brazilian Hair - It comes from the pacific of Brazil and its derived in different lengths and natural colors. Brazilian hair is one of the most beautiful types of hair around. It is known for its full body, beautiful bounce, texture and versatility. This hair has a shiny appearance and feel. It is available in wavy, straight or curly textures. The Straight textures are not bone straight but tends to have some light waves in it. This hair holds curls very well and tends to hold curls longer than the Indian Hair. This type of hair is usually soft and smooth. Texture may vary from natural straight to natural full bouncy body wave. The use of this type of hair is popular in most west-african countries. This type of hair last for as long as you take good care of it. It doesn’t require special maintenance. Brazilian hair is good for all hairstyles. It holds curls beautifully and curls when wet.    Malaysian Hair - Malaysian hair at first can appear excessively shiny but after the first 2/3 washes the shine lessens considerably to take on a more natural appearance. Curls will not loosen or drop with time but maintain their form for the entire day. No product is required to maintain the curl. Avoid using too oil spray on this hair as it will make the hair very shiny and appear 'wiggy'. Malaysian hair is softer and silker in texture than Indian hair. If you want volume and thickness, Malaysian hair is your best option. It gives great bounce and heavy body. It is great for all styles. Malaysian hair comes naturally dark in color and natural straight. Due to its fullness, it can have a tendency to be dry if proper care isn’t taken. We recommend that sufficient moisture in the form of good leave-in conditioner be used after the second re-use of the hair. The good thing is that this type of hair requires less wash because of its heavy density.   Peruvian Hair - This hair is a little coarser and thicker in texture than Malaysian or Brazilian hair. It blends well with normal African-American relaxed hair textures and medium Caucasian hair textures. Peruvian hair has been growing in popularity 2010. Peruvian hair is multi purpose hair. It has the ability to look naturally voluminous despite the fact it is lightweight. Meaning, you can have over 5 bundles of hair and yet it feels very lightweight. It is extremely manageable even in times when hair isn’t maintained properly. Peruvian hair is great for sleek straight styles as well as short & edgy styles.   DO'S AND DON'TS   1. Air drying is highly recommended for all hair types and u part wigs after washing and conditioning.   2. Perform a co-wash at least once in 2-3 weeks.   3. Try to always use a moisturizing leave in conditioner. Avoid having to use any other styling products between washes.   4. Use alcohol free serums or products on hair. This will not dry out the hair and make it frizzy.   5. Do not apply any heavy oils on hair as they will seep on to the hair extensions or wigs, in turn weighing it down and resulting in restricted movement and potential tangling.

FASHION FRAT PARTY AT STELLA MCCARTNEY


I walked into Stella McCartney's autumn 2014 presentation feeling a little intimidated. It was held at the Harold Pratt House, the stately home of the Council on Foreign Relations, on the Upper East Side. I felt underdressed and uncool as I sidled past Maggie Gyllenhaal and Liv Tyler who were sipping on flutes of champagne. I left, an hour later, slightly doused in champagne, with a big grin on my face.

 Here's what happened in between.



Stella McCartney's presentations have always got a bit of whimsy about them. This one had a lot: enough sugary treats to rot holes in even the most well attended pearly whites (including giant marzipan cakes made to look like Stella McCartney bags and a chocolate fountain), hopscotch, tricked out Mini Coopers for models to play bumper cars in, and a whiplash-inducing guest list. There was Patti Smith in one corner, Alec Baldwin in another, Susan Sarandon coming down the stairs, the Seinfelds, Parker Posey, Blythe Danner, and more. 



Thankfully none of the aforementioned bold faced names happened to be upstairs in the converted bumper cars room, where models clad in McCartney's stellar (and obviously comfortable) pre-fall collection packed two and three to a car, gleefully smashed into each other, nearly missing many guests who proved surprisingly nimble in their stilettos. I was not one of the nimble ones and got in between Hanne Gaby Odiele, still holding her champagne flute from behind the wheel, and a table holding some oversized Stella bags and a few bottles of champagne. Down went the bags and the bottles, and I got a nice misting of champagne. 

TOM FORD IS COOL WITH HAYDEN PANETTIERE WEARING ONE OF HIS DESIGNS OFF THE RACK


Hayden Panettiere showed up to the Golden Globes wearing a sleek black and white Tom Ford gown. "It's the first time I've ever worn him, because I've been begging ever since," she gushed to E!'s Giuliana Rancic. "I feel sexy in it, I feel comfortable in it, and I'm in Tom Ford. I would wear a plastic bag if it was designed by him." Sure, Panettiere looked sexy, but her dress made headlines for other reasons. See, Tom Ford tends to dress one leading lady per awards show and usually it's Ford muse Julianne Moore. His PR confirmed that Naomi Watts was wearing his designs to the Golden Globes but there wasn't a peep about Panettiere. That's because Panettiere bought her dress—gasp—off the rack. She wanted it that bad she did what any normal person would do... she bought it.

Betty Adewole: Catwalk CV


BETTY ADEWOLE has a name, and a face, that you won't forget - and the fashion industry isn't likely to let you try this year, since she's set to be one of 2014's hottest models. Scouted at 15 in her hometown of London - shopping on Tottenham Court Road, to be precise - the model has politely dismissed comparisons with another capital-born model, Naomi Campbell, asserting that, while flattered, she is "very different". After a steady start, the turning point in her career was being signed by IMG last year, and subsequently cutting her waist-length hair into a boyish crop - forcing designers in search of a new look to take notice. From her debut on the catwalks of Loewe and Maison Martin Margiela during the spring/summer 2011 season, Adewole has become one of the industry's most sought-after catwalk faces. With appearances in some of fashion's biggest shows - from Alexander McQueen and Tom Ford to Stella McCartney and Givenchy - under her belt, she's likely to give fellow Londoners Jourdan Dunn and Cara Delevingne a run for their money in the popularity stakes when the shows begin next month.

Ronaldo Is World Footballer Of The Year 2013


Cristiano Ronaldo has won the 2013 Fifa Ballon d'Or at an awards ceremony in Zurich, ending Lionel Messi's four-year reign as holder of the crown. Real Madrid forward Ronaldo clinched the prize for the world's best player for the second time in his career after finishing ahead of Barcelona playmaker Messi and Bayern Munich winger Franck Ribery in the voting.   Ronaldo had finished runner-up three times in the past four years to Messi since winning both the Ballon D'Or and Fifa World Player of the Year in 2008, before the two trophies became one. Portugal captain Ronaldo has been in phenomenal goalscoring form and in 2013 he netted 62 goals in 52 games for club and country.   That was not enough to help Madrid pick up any silverware or lead Portugal to an automatic qualifying berth to this summer's World Cup finals, but he did produce a number of memorable individual performances.    Among them was in the World Cup qualifying play-offs when he struck all four goals - including a brilliant second-leg hat-trick - as Portugal beat Sweden 4-2 on aggregate to book their spot in Brazil. An emotional Ronaldo, who was fighting back the tears as he received the award on Monday night, said: "First of all I have to say a great thanks to all of my team-mates with the club and the national team. "Without all of their efforts this would not have been possible. I am very happy, it is very difficult to win this award. "Everybody that has been involved with me on a personal level I have to thank. My wife, my friends, my son. It is a tremendously emotional moment. All I can say is thank you to everybody that has been involved."

Nollywood Divorce The Real Truth Behind Comedienne Princess’ Marriage Collapse


Many of her fans were shocked that the much hyped marriage of Nigerian comedienne Princess, (Damilola Adekoya), could pack up like badly arranged cards barely 7 months after it was held. But what many did not know was that the marriage was doomed before it started as it is being reported that 2 weeks after the May 8th, 2013, high profile wedding, Princess and her hubby, movie producer cum director, Adeshola Jeremiah began experiencing some hiccups that ultimately led to them having the now famous incompatibility issues. Those close to her say she had been inundating them with stories of how her marriage crashed due to irreconcilable differences but insiders are pointing fingers at her extravagant way of life as the reason her husband could no longer cope with her. An inside source hinted that Jeremiah got tired of Princess’ high profile lifestyle, her penchant for parties and events and could not continue living with a woman who placed a premium on such a life rather than being a wife. But some others who are sympathetic to Princess say the producer married her believing that she had a lot of money and could sponsor his movies but when she would not bulge to his incessant demands for money, she had to call it quits. Well, be that as it may, they all boil down to ‘irreconcilable differences.’

Nollywood War Teco Benson Blasts Actor Michael Ezuruonye For Being Unprofessional


Nollywood star actor, Michael Ezuruonye, has been taken to the cleaners by ‘Red Hot’ director, Teco Benson, who called Mike unprofessional for absconding from a movie set. According to Teco Benson who is one of the best directors in the country, Mike abandoned the set of his new film titled ‘Centrifugal Force’, thereby halting the movie’s production and causing him loss of money as he had to pay for equipment and props he could not utilize. Teco had this to say: “Right now, we have some hiccups in the production of ‘Centrifugal Force’ because of the unprofessional conduct by Mike Ezuruonye who is playing a lead role. So, we are just waiting to tidy up so that we can release it.” Meanwhile, Mike, who has been one of the top actors in the country in the last few years, has replied Teco, refuting the fact that he deliberately absconded from the set.

13 Things Guys Need To Know About Suits



Suits are the one classic outfit that can transform a guy from ghetto trashy to classy, suave and dapper however alot of guys dont know how to wear a suit. Wearing a suit is serious business, a well tailored suit is one that should look like it was moulded on you not like you were thrown into a boxy trash bag. Here are some tips to bear in mind when wearing a suit. Your tie bar/clip  should never be wider than your tie. Always unfasten your jacket buttons when you sit. No exceptions. Your pocket square should not match your tie or suit at all, let is stand out, create extra effect. Your belt and shoes have to be the same colour. When you go without a tie, it's best to keep your shirt collar on the smaller side. When your jacket is buttoned, you should be able to fit a fist between your chest and the fabric—no more, no less. Your jacket sleeves should reveal about half an inch of shirt cuff. If they don't, try a short size instead—you could save yourself a trip to the tailor later on. Your pants should sit at your waist (not your hips). You should be able to fit one finger into the waistband comfortably. The black single-monk is the sleekest, most sophisticated, most versatile shoe around. Dont forget tp cut open the thread on the back vents and the pockets. Invest in suit accessories like ties, bow ties,  pocket squares, tie clips and cufflinks  A tie bar should not be worn with a waistcoat or cardigan as the purpose of a tie bar is to hold the tie in place. If you are wearing a waistcoat or cardigan that’s already taken care of and at that point, a tie bar just becomes redundant.    Light tan shirts match with brown tie  Light pink shirts match with burgundy or navy blue tie  Light blue shirts complement red, navy, yellow or burgundy ties   When dealing with striped shirts, determine what its base color is and coordinate with colors as above. Just make sure the stripes on the shirt do match the stripes or pattern on the tie.

PDP Still needs you- Tukur


The PDP National Chairman, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, on Saturday said former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s fatherly aura and experience in politics were still required by the party. Tukur said this in reaction to a letter written to him and President Goodluck Jonathan, dated Jan. 7, 2014, by Obasanjo. Obasanjo had, in the letter, raised some issues related to the PDP in the country’s South-West geo-political zone. The letter had also conveyed Obasanjo’s decision to withdraw from participating in the party`s politics at all levels. “It is an honour that you deemed it fit and proper to intimate me with an issue important to your mind and our party in the south-west zone. “It is my wish and prayer that such cordial and positive relationship will continue,” Tukur said. He stated that Obasanjo’s experiences as one of the party`s founding fathers were required in its drive to get stronger and become more formidable. Tukur said the PDP had more pressing challenges, bordering most importantly on the coming Ekiti and Osun states’ governorship elections and the 2015 general elections. All this, he said, required strong inputs from the former president. The PDP national chairman said continuous dialogue was needed for a stronger partnership among the party’s stakeholders. He maintained that the need for PDP to reclaim lost grounds in the south-west required the full support of party leaders like Obasanjo. Tukur expressed gratitude to Obasanjo for his manner of approach and for presenting his grievances on issues in the PDP south-west. “I thank you for your gesture and I pray that we shall all continue to dialogue and partner, so he can move our party forward,” he said. Baba also said there was the need for PDP to attain success in the governorship elections coming up in Ekiti and Osun and the subsequent elections in 2015. This, according to him, was critical to reclaiming lost grounds in the South-West zone of the country. On issues raised by Obasonjo in the letter on the state of PDP in the south-west, Tukur said the crisis within the PDP in the zone preceded his emergence as the party`s national chairman. He insisted that the party’s National Executive Committee and the National Working Committee were never part of the problems in the south-west PDP. “We came in when we were threatened with contempt of court charges for not obeying the court’s order to dissolve the south-west zonal executive and remove some officers of the party. “We complied with the court orders because of our belief in the rule of law and to avoid consequences of disobeying such orders.’’ Tukur said.

Naomi Oni accused of pouring acid on self to gain fame


A Victoria’s Secret lingerie store worker, 21-year-old Naomi Oni, was forced to deny throwing acid in her own face to gain fame and fortune. Oni was accused of setting up the attack and asking friend Mary Konye, also 21, to ‘play the stalker’ and throw the corrosive liquid over her. Miss Oni vehemently denied the claims made by Konye’s QC, on the third day of a trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court. The prosecution claim Konye donned a full niqab before following Oni as she made her way home from Westfield Stratford City in east London where she worked. The victim was left disfigured for life after Konye allegedly doused her with sulphuric acid near her home in Dagenham, Essex. But the defence said it was part of an elaborate plan to become rich and famous. Today Miss Oni insisted she was not ‘obsessed’ with plastic surgery or the story of fellow acid attack victim Katy Piper, despite an internet search history on her laptop suggesting otherwise. In cross examination Sally O’Neill asked her to explain to jurors the story of Ms Piper before asking whether she had become obsessed by the disfigured model. Oni said: “I wouldn’t say obsessed but it deeply moved me. I read about other attacks but it was not an obsession.” Ms O’Neill said it was the defence case that she hatched a plan with Konye to pour acid over herself to improve her future prospects. She said: “You said if something similar to that of Katy Piper happened to you then that wouldn’t be the end of the world because Katy Piper probably had a career boost.” Oni simply replied: “No.” The defence barrister asked her why she had visited a series of plastic surgery websites. Oni answered: “I do not think I was very pretty at all. “I went on the sites for no reason in particular – I had body issues and I was interested in plastic surgery for my body but there was no particular reason. “I remember searching for my eyelids because I had double eyelids which I didn’t like so I planned one day to see if I could do something about it.” But O’Neill said: “You formalised a plan in which you would become the victim of a random acid attack in the hope that you would receive the same type of fame and fortune as Katy Piper had. “You were of the view that Katy Piper still looked lovely after the attack but that you would need something else to support the attack because the police wouldn’t believe you and that was where you brought Mary Konye into it. “Your play was, I suggest, that you would make an allegation that you had been followed and attacked and you wanted Mary Konye to be part of that – you wanted her to follow you and also, initially, wanted her to throw the acid. “She absolutely refused to do that and you said that you were actually going to throw the acid yourself towards your neck area.” Oni replied: “That is very untrue.” Oni admitted deleting her internet search history on her mobile phone a day before police were due to come and collect it. She said she felt ‘violated’ and didn’t want the police going through her personal data so she decided to delete the history on her iPhone. Oni also denied throwing acid over her face in a bid to catapult herself into the ‘celebrity’ world. While in hospital at the end of January, 2013, Oni’s aunt approached the London Evening Standard with an email about her niece’s plight. O’Neill suggested going to the media was the way Oni had decided to launch herself into the celebrity sphere. She said: “It is right that your family decided to take matters into their own hands and go to the media?” Oni replied: “We went to the press because I was homeless at the time.” O’Neill then said: “You thought celebrity would come of it, didn’t you? Were you offered the services of a celebrity plastic surgeon from America?” Oni replied: “So I was told. I do not think being disfigured and being famous is something I aim for in life at all.” Oni also admitted being paid £2,000 by The Sun newspaper for an interview as well as appearing on ITVs This Morning programme and being paid a sum of £1,000. She also appeared on a German television programme and paid around £1,200 as well as being approached by the BBC for her story. Mary Konye, 21, admits disguising herself in a niqab and stalking Naomi Oni, also 21, on her way home from work, but denies she doused her in sulphuric acid. Oni yesterday described the moment she was attacked and told Snaresbrook Crown Court after she saw the damage done she thought: “I’m ugly, no one’s going to marry me now.” Jurors were also shown CCTV of student Konye disguised in a Muslim veil as she followed her friend on the Tube, before she was attacked late at night on an east London street. Yesterday, she described how, on her way home from work at a Victoria’s Secret lingerie store, she got off at her bus stop in Dagenham, East London, and felt a ‘presence’ before turning to see someone in a niqab. She then felt a ‘massive splash’ as the acid was thrown at her, scarring her for life and disfiguring her face, dissolving her hair and eyelashes and burning her tongue as she screamed. Describing how she felt after the attack, she said: “Am I a bad person? Why has this happened to me? I work hard. No one’s going to marry me now.

Okonjo-Iweala taking Nigerians for granted


The House of Representatives Committee on Finance on Saturday said the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, was taking Nigerians for granted. The committee said this in a statement by its clerk, Farouk Mustapha, in response to comments credited to Okonjo-Iweala in some newspapers. Okonjo-Iweala reportedly said she would need time to respond to the 50 questions given to her by the committee. The relationship between the minister and the committee turned sour last month when she was given the 50 questions to answer. But on Saturday, the committee said it was awaiting the minister’s response to the questions. It stated, “We view this as a welcome development as it denotes a vindication of the decision we took when she appeared before the committee on December 19, 2013. The committee knew that she would need time to answer the questions. “The minister appears to be taking the memories of Nigerians for granted. This was the minister who walked into the meeting with the committee and drew everyone’s sympathy the moment she feebly announced that she was not feeling well.” The committee stated that it was  curious then that when the minister was not feeling well she was prepared to address 50 questions in a session that was to last just about two hours. It said now that she was fully fit, hale and hearty, she was saying she  would need more time. The committee stated, “It is regrettable that while talking to reporters after the presentation of the report of the 15-year strategic partnership on debt management between UK and Nigeria, the minister accused critics of the huge domestic debt profile under her stewardship of lacking information. “Interestingly, that is why the committee  invited her to share such information with Nigerians. It would also be an opportunity to let her know some of the things we know.” According to the committee, the DFID whose collaboration with Nigeria she is so enthusiastic about has published a report on the 2014 Medium Term Expenditure Framework. The lawmakers said it was high time the minister realised that Nigeria did not need any other country to “tell us that our economy is doing well, the least of which is Great Britain with its deep economic problems and huge domestic debt profile. Nigerians will positively feel the impact if their economy is really doing well as the minister claims.

Why we’re backing Kashamu — Tukur


The National Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party, Mr. Bamanga Tukur, has told former President Olusegun Obasanjo that his estranged kinsman, Buruji Kashamu, enjoys the party support and backing because of the role Kashamu played in strengthening the PDP in the South-West. Tukur gave the explanation in his reply to Obasanjo’s letter dated January 7, 2014 to the party chairman. In his letter, a copy of which was sent to President Goodluck Jonathan as the national leader of the party, Obasanjo accused the PDP of negating the principles of morality, decency and discipline in its decisions, especially as they affected the South West. The letter which was obtained by our Ogun State correspondent on Saturday read, “While I believe that a good and truly national political party must be a microcosm of the nation in its membership, made up of all sorts of characters from near-saints to near-satan, I also believe that on no account should a known habitual criminal that is wanted abroad to face criminal charges levelled against him be extolled as a political leader in a respectable and wholesome nation-building political party. “Kashamu Buruji has been so extolled in PDP in South-West geo-political zone, which I personally find unsavoury. Politics played by any national political party must have morality, decency, discipline, principles and leadership examples as cardinal practices of the party. I have attached here recent documents that clearly indicate that your extolled PDP Zonal Leader in the South-West zone of Nigeria and an indigene of Ogun State is, to say the least, not a credit to the party as a member, let alone being a zonal leader. “Since I stick in my practice of party politics to the hallowed and cherished principles enunciated above, I take this opportunity to let you know that while I continue to remain a card-carrying member of PDP, I cannot and I will not subscribe to a wanted habitual criminal being installed as my zonal leader of the party.” However, in explaining the party’s devotion to Kashamu, Tukur wrote, “Buruji Kasamu came to limelight in politics as a result of the role he played in the politics of Ogun State where both of you come from. He later became a rallying point in the South-West following the courts’ orders in the series of cases brought about as a result of disagreements among leaders of the party in the South-West, and Ogun State in particular. “In my opinion, Buruji became a rallying point because of the absence of a zonal executive in the South-West. This vacuum in the South-West has made him the person to whom many members in all the chapters of the party in the zone approach for one form of assistance or the order.” Tukur personally signed the reply, which was made available to journalists in Abuja on Saturday. The PDP Chairman, while preaching continuous dialogue and need for stronger partnership among stakeholders of the party, told Obasanjo that the need for the ruling party to reclaim the lost grounds in the South-West required the full support of party leaders like him. Sounding conciliatory in his response to Obasanjo’s letter, Tukur expressed his appreciation of the manner of approach by the ex-President in presenting his grievances on issues in the PDP South-West. Tukur stated that there was the need for the PDP to attain success in the “governorship elections coming up this year in Ekiti and Osun states and the subsequent elections in 2015 to reclaim lost grounds in the South-West.” The PDP Chairman also addressed the complaint of the former President on the state of the PDP in the South-West. He said the crises within the PDP in the zone were there before he took over the mantle of leadership of the party. In the same vein, Kashamu also responded to Obasanjo’s letter on Saturday. He described the ex-President’s letter as a ‘cocktail of lies’ and alleged that Obasanjo was blackmailing him. He said, “First, it is now clear to all and sundry why I have become the target of Obasanjo’s wicked campaign of calumny and blackmail is his perceived loss of political relevance in Ogun State and the South-West. In his 18-page satanic letter to President Goodluck Jonathan, I was the other person – indeed the only one (after the President) – that he singled out for his venomous attack. “In his usual hypocritical manner, he talked about not being able to work with me because of his principles and decency. But the questions Nigerians should ask him are: where were these principles when he used me to fight Gbenga Daniel? Where was his self-righteousness when I took the party structure from Daniel and handed it to Obasanjo? Where was his decency when he brought Gen. Adetunji Olurin to me and asked that I should roll my structure behind his governorship ambition? “Where was his morality when he introduced me to South West PDP leaders like Engr. Segun Oni, Navy Capt. Caleb Olubolade (retd) and a host of others? Where was his discipline when he hosted me severally in his Hilltop mansion, taking me into his bedroom and innermost recesses? Where was his decency when he accepted donations from me to his church and other concerns?  Where was his gumption when he mounted the rostrum to sing my praises, praying for me as he did in May 2010 during a reception for the former Minister of Commerce and Industry, Senator Jubril Martins-Kuye? I can go on and on!” Kashamu denied being the leader of the party in the South-West and described himself as the “party’s foot soldiers in the zone and the Chairman of the Organisation and Mobilisation Committee for the party in the zone. “ He also denied that he is being wanted for extradition by the United States of America. “I wish to state for the umpteenth time that there is no request for my extradition for any offence whatsoever. I recall that in my earlier response to him, I have challenged him to produce the request for extradition, if there is any. “Indeed, contrary to his lies that I am wanted in the United States for some offences, the purported and over-flogged case is that of mistaken identity, for which I had been tried and discharged after my innocence was established by the British courts. I am already in court in the US asking that the earlier accusation (not conviction) against me be quashed. That process is ongoing.” He further alleged that Obasanjo had asked the Beninoise government to frame him up anytime he visited the country. Other prominent members in the  South-West zone of the party, on Saturday, lashed out at the  ex-president, describing him as difficult to please. The Chairman of the caretaker committee of the party in the zone, Mr. Ishola Filani, who spoke on the telephone with our correspondent in Abuja on Saturday, said it was sad that Obasanjo who brought Kashamu into the limelight politically was also trying to destroy him. Filani said, “Tell me, who is good in the sight of the former President? When the late President (Umaru Yar’Adua) was alive, he was not good. President Goodluck Jonathan is not good. So, nobody is good in his sight. “Obasanjo introduced Kashamu into politics when he used him to fight Daniel but later cheated him when it was time to share political offices in the state. Now, he is a criminal . Is he on the wanted list of the United States of America? If the USA is looking for someone, will the whole world not know?” Similarly, the Chairman, PDP, Ogun State Chapter and Chairman, Committee of South-West PDP State Executives, Mr. Adebayo Dayo, said Obasanjo’s withdrawal from activities in the PDP had ulterior motives. He further said heaven would not fall, however, if the ex-president steps out of the party. Dayo said, “It is a free world. Everybody is entitled to his opinion. Baba’s (Obasanjo’s) opinion is that he wants to step aside. After all, IBB (former military dictator, Ibrahim Babangida) stepped aside many years ago and heaven did not fall; Nigeria did not collapse because IBB stepped aside. “If Baba too steps aside because of somebody (Kashamu) who has never offended him; somebody who has never been convicted by any court in the world, it is only an excuse for him to go and do something else against the PDP.” However, former Minister of Justice, Richard Akinjide, who on Saturday hosted some elders of the South-West Peoples Democratic Party at his home in Ibadan, threw his weight behind Obasanjo. He said criminals would not be allowed to rule the party. He stated, “We all heard what the former President Olusegun Obasanjo said. If you read the newspapers today (yesterday), he made some important comments. In essence, he is in support of the meeting we are doing here. If anybody says don’t come to this meeting, disregard him. Don’t trust those people. One of them is a drug addict; I mean the criminal elements who want to lead us. We won’t allow them.” Meanwhile, the Presidency on Saturday said President Goodluck Jonathan and other elders of the Peoples Democratic Party will take a critical look at the issues raised in a letter written by former President Olusegun Obasanjo to the party chairman. Special Adviser to the President on Political Matters, Mr. Ahmed Gulak, said this in a telephone interview with our correspondent. “The party leaders will handle the issues appropriately,” Gulak simply said. When further asked whether Jonathan will not personally intervene in the matter, the presidential aide said, “Mr. President is one of the party leaders I said will handle the issue appropriately.” In a related development, Vice-President Namadi Sambo on Saturday begged members of the PDP in Kaduna State to shun all overtures from opposition parties who he said were bent on destroying the PDP in the state. A statement by his spokesman, Umar Sani, quoted Sambo as making the appeal during the PDP caucus meeting in Kaduna. He urged them to remain united despite the gale of defection that has affected the party in the state and zone.
