Nigerian weddings are all about colour!  Stella Maris  of  Stella’s Addiction  let her models inspire her for this recent photo shoot. She says,  “Working with 4 “real women” with different skin tones, face & eye shapes, I set out to enhance each face accordingly. We often go very colourful for traditional Nigerian weddings, in this shoot I played with colour, matched neutral eyes with colourful gele and beads or bright lips so there is something for everyone. Even an “all in one bride” who has both white & traditional wedding on the same day isn’t left out.” Enjoy! *** Vendors Makeup:  Stella of Stella’s Addiction (IG @stellasaddiction | 08162606066 | stellasaddiction@gmail.com) Photos:  Eleanor Goodey Photography (eleanorgoodeyphotos.com) & Photomini (IG @photomini | 08167530444) Aso-oke:  Molbaks Aso Oke (IG @molbaks_alasooke | 08023188820) B...

An Egyptian court on Saturday in Cairo dismissed charges against former President Hosni Mubarak  for his involvement in the deaths of protesters during a 2011 uprising that ended his rule. The Cairo Criminal Court also acquitted Mubarak’s Interior Minister,  Habib al-Adly, and ex-security chiefs of the same charges. The court cleared Mubarak, his sons,  Alaa  and  Gamal , and a fugitive business tycoon of charges in a separate corruption case. Presiding judge,  Mahmoud al-Rasheedi , referring to Mubarak, said that “only history and God should be called on to issue judgment on someone who served as vice president and then president of Egypt for over 30 years.’’ Mubarak was already serving three years in prison in a separate corruption case. The 86-year old is staying in an army hospital in southern Cairo due to frail health. Prior to delivering the verdict, al-Rasheedi warned the audience in the courtroom that any reaction to the ru...

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal says striker Robin van Persie has been struggling for confidence in front of goal and had “a very bad game” against Arsenal last weekend. The Netherlands forward had only 13 touches of the ball against his former club, three of which were while taking corners, before Van Gaal replaced him with 18-year-old James Wilson for the last 15 minutes. Indeed, in the whole of 2014, Van Persie has scored only eight goals in 21 Premier League games. Van Gaal said that, when he was in charge of Bayern Munich, Germany striker Mario Gomez had had fewer touches during some matches, but accepted that Van Persie has been struggling for form. He said: “I do think 13 is few for a striker. I want to improve that. You can count his touches on the ball but more important is how he is playing. “It was a very bad game for him. That is why I changed him. When I change a player, it is not because he is the best player on the pitch. You are doing something wrong...
