Nigerian Bloggers - The Book:
Thanks to Laspapi for telling us about this great idea to get all Nigerian bloggers worldwide to become a part of an anthology of the greatest works of Nigerian Bloggers - A book called Naija Bloggers Vol 1.
Nigerian Bloggers around the globe are requested to send in their stories or recommend great posts for the publication of a physical anthology, the first of its kind by any group of bloggers on any continent.
The categories are anecdotes, short stories, poetry, prose, drama and essays but there is room for as many sub-categories as are sent in as the book will also serve as a platform where artistes can showcase architectural/interior/exterior designs, photography, paintings as well as fashion and textile designs. Submissions are therefore welcome on any topic whether covered here or not. Click HERE for more information!


RANDOM:
Peter Akinola made it into TIME's 100 most influential men and women whose power, talent or moral example is transforming the world.

Seems like evry one is on some akon steez, these days,anyways, here is a link 2 HERE

FUND FREE MAMMOGRAMS:
I saw this on Calabargal's blog and I just had to pilfer it.The Breast Cancer site are having difficulties getting enough people to click on the site to fund enough mammograms for underpriveledged women. All you have to do is visit their WEBSITE and click on the big pink "FUND FREE MAMMOGRAM" DAILY. They are not asking you to donate money just your time, so please add the page to your Favorites and remember to click everyday.


Just 4 laffs:
Naija Letter of Refusal!
Lmao...!!!A potential employee,seriously vexed that YET another company had refused him employment decides to take matters into his own hands....read below!!!

Re: Letter of Refusal

Dear Sir / Madam,

Thank you for your letter of 4 October 2003. After careful
consideration I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your
refusal to offer me employment with your company. This year I have been
particularly fortunate in receiving an unusually large number of
rejection letters. With such a varied and promising field of candidates
it is impossible for me to accept all refusals.
Despite your company's outstanding qualifications and previous experience in rejecting applicants, I find that your rejection does not meet my needs at this
time. Therefore I will start work with your company on Monday 22 October
at 8.30 am. I look forward to seeing you then.
Regards.
Hilarious Sturvs!!!

Labels: weekend digest

Hey everyone,howz d week going? Week's going okay,mad revision,cant wait for the weekend to come but even then it's still just more revision...anyways,on to the post...

GRACE SHANNAN:
This fantastic designer uses fabrics such as lace to make cocktail dresses, evening wear,bridesmaid dresses and even for the Bridal Party designs.The name "Grace Shannan" is an amalgamation (yes,big words in use here...lol) of both her's and her daughter's names and the label captures the essence of style, sophistication and elegance which is what she set out to achieve.

But Grace didnt start out as a fashion designer, she actually graduated with an MSc in Information Systems Management and a BSc in Business Information Systems, but she always knew her talent and dreams were in fashion designing and then proceeded to teach herself everything she now knows about designing!

The Grace Shannan woman knows she has style, class and of course 'Grace'. There is no doubt, her collections are just Fan-ta-bu-lous!!! Click the WEBSITE to view more fabulous designs,contact designer and order your own Grace Shannan outfit!

Music News:
Awesome Entertainment which is owned by Dominic Ajufor is set to launch 3 groups into the Naija music industry -- Spice Boys (really?),Black Soldiers and Too Smooth...
The Spice Boys are Bolaji Legbeti(Beejay) and Temitope Odeyemi(Top Most) and their album which will be released later this year is titled "Tested OK" and is a fusion of Hip-Hop and R&B...as for the name choice,the boys say they are putting "spice back into the game"...
Too Smooth are Oluwasegun Oladele Dawodu(Big Fish) and Diaime Udo Ekoriko(Small Fish) who believe that they will be a force to reckon with because of what they have.As Oluwasegun puts it "We will make our own way. What we say is real life. Our album should be out next month.
Bad Soldiers are the duo of Christian Kalu(Spiritual) and Leonard Ikpegbue(Donnie Man) who hope that their "Gospel tinged with Ragga" music will show that they fight against injustices and social vices in Africa.
What do you think?Do we really need more boybands in Nigeria or should they look into introducing more female bands?
