All About The BET 2014 Awards And List Of Winners

The 2014 BET Awards ceremony took place Sunday, and the night's big winner was Beyonce. The pop superstar nabbed three awards, including the 2014 FANdemonium award, voted on by viewers. Pharrell Williams and August Alsina also had a happy night, taking home two awards apiece. Beyonce Won Three Awards, Pharrell Williams And August Alsina Took Home Two Apiece And "12 Years A Slave" Prevailed As Best Movie.
Nicki Minaj won for best female hip hop star, and in her acceptance speech, she praised herself as a hip-hop star who doesn't have someone writing for her, an apparent dig at Iggy Azalea. Drake beat out Jay Z for best male hip hop star.

12 Years a Slave was chosen as best movie, with the film's stars, Lupita Nyong’o and Chiwetel Ejiofor, taking home acting awards. Lionel Richie was honored as the lifetime achievement award recipient.
One memorable moment of the night was Kevin Hart interrupting presenter Kerry Washington and referring to himself as "Oliver Pope," a reference to Washington's Scandal character, Olivia Pope. At another point, host Chris Rock tried to one-up 2014 Oscar host Ellen DeGeneres by passing out chicken and waffles from L.A. favorite Roscoe's.
The awards began under the shadow of violence, with one man shot to death and another stabbed in two separate pre-show incidents. BET said the preshow parties at which the violence occurred were not officially affiliated with the awards show. During the show, Rock joked that this is the only awards show where people worry about their safety.

19 years old Elyjah shot his roommate and killed him while playing with a loaded gun. Daryus Johnson the deceased was also 19 years old. 

According to the Police, Elyjah accidentally shot and killed Johnson on Tuesday afternoon in a Marietta, Georgia apartment complex after he “recklessly” toyed with a gun.

“Marrow was not using proper firearms safety when handling the gun,” Marietta police officer David Baldwin told the paper. “That reckless handling of the firearm is what led to Johnson being accidentally shot and eventually killed.”

The teen is also being charged with possession of a firearm while committing a felony, reckless conduct, possession of a stolen firearm and intent to distribute marijuana and us currently being held in Cobb County jail without bond.

Relationship Zone: 15 Reasons You Lost A Good Ass Woman

I think we can all appreciate a man who's recognized his wrongs in a relationship and is willing to do anything to get the love of his life back. The Temptations, Jodeci, and Tyrese made music careers of singing songs about it. Only thing is, there's always something that led to the brother standing out in the rain, dressed in a 3-piece suit and holding wilting flowers; that's the part we love to leave out. That's also the part that women forget about until they give him a 13th chance and go right back to the same shit they left him for in the beginning. So to refresh a few memories and further explain to my brothers exactly what they need to take care of before they mess up their prom suit, I compiled a list of 15 reasons you probably lost your good ass woman.

1. You told her she was overreacting when she confronted you on something you knew you were wrong about.

2. SHE had to remind you or even step in herself to let other females know you were taken when they would cross that line of harmless flirting and utter disrespect.

3. You expected undying support of your dreams while treating her passions as just a phase she'd eventually grow out of.

4. You preferred playing Madden with your boys or being on your grind EVERY time over spending some with her to relax. No, spare time should never take the place of quality time you've MADE for the two of you.

5. You started ducking and dodging the idea of marriage as if she was pressuring you into something she wasn't worthy of.

6. You made a habit of letting her "take the tab on this one". While she's never been a gold digger she also wants somebody she could increase with instead of always letting them "hold something right quick" so neither of you could come up.

7. You stopped 4-play because you wanted to get straight to the point (sex) instead of understanding a woman's body benefits from that pre course of intimacy.

8. When you did have sex, you stopped after you got yours and then seriously waited for her unsatisfied body to get up and feed you for a job not well done.

9. You told her you liked that she was classy but seemed to be a little too appreciative of Instagram strippers and half naked bathroom sink models.

10. Started doing sketch shit with your phone like receiving texts and then checking to see who it was before it was in her line of sight.

11. Told her that her guy friends needed to be cut off while every girl you ever tried to have sex with before magically turned into "like a sister to you" that she needed to just trust you on.

12. When you got upset, you didn't want to hear her talk about it anymore instead of putting your pride aside and working to fix it like she did.

13. She rode with you during your financial rough patch but that ride got so comfortable you decided it was easier to do that than to get back to actually pursuing goals.

14. You forgot that it never hurt to cook for her sometimes. She gets hungry too.

15. When you knew you weren't being who she deserved, you started blaming her for everything to ease your insecurities.

But as you expected, she caught on and gave you what you deserved; her absence. Now, this is nothing to lose hope over, just something we need to be real with ourselves about. Nothing's worse than going to the ends of the earth trying to hand someone the sun, moon and the stars to prove how worthy we are of another chance when we're getting ready to do the exact same thing we did with the last one. Work on those things first, or don't even waste her time. She can get all of those materialistic things you're buying her, but she can never get back her time. Good women won't waste much of that anyway.

Abuja bombing: DSS claims malls were warned

The spokesperson of Nigeria’s Department of State Security, Marilyn Ogar said the agency warned shopping complexes in Abuja for two weeks that Boko Haram extremists might attack them in the capital, where a blast at a mall killed 22 people this week.

“About two weeks ago we heard information that they were planning an attack at a busy shopping mall or market … and so we had to go from one shopping complex to another trying to tell people to be more aware,” she told The Associated Press.

Emab Plaza is the biggest and busiest in Abuja, the nation’s capital in central Nigeria.

The explosion occurred around rush hour as many residents were hurrying to view Nigeria’s Super Eagles match against Argentina at the World Cup in Brazil.

It was unclear if the bomb was timed to coincide with that, although Boko Haram has bombed several football viewing venues this year, prompting two northeastern states to ban public events to watch the football spectacular.

The state security department did not publish the intelligence about the threat to shopping malls, apparently to avoid a panic. Last week the government warned it had information that Boko Haram planned to hijack petrol tankers in the capital and booby trap them with explosives.

According to a report by the AP, the increased security may have prevented even more carnage as witnesses said a security guard stopped a car bomber from entering the mall moments before the massive explosion on Wednesday.

Survivor Donald Chikason said that a security guard argued with the driver of a car who wanted to enter Emab Plaza through the exit gate. When the guard refused, the man bent down and moments later the car exploded, Friday’s edition of Thisday quoted him as saying.

“The man started arguing, behaving as if he was drunk,” it quoted him as saying.

Chikason, who works at a bank in the mall, was knocked out by the blast and only regained consciousness in the hospital.

The explosion was heard miles (kilometers) away. It set 17 vehicles ablaze and shattered windows throughout the four-story complex.

Body parts lay around the exit gate, other witnesses told The Associated Press.

Dozens of wounded survivors were recovering in the hospitals Friday, most suffering burn wounds like Chikason, but at least one victim’s leg was amputated, doctors said.

Nigerian intelligence received information that Boko Haram extremists were planning such an attack, said spokeswoman Marilyn Ogar of the Department of State Security.

Two separate bombs in Abuja in April killed about 120 people and wounded more than 200 at a busy bus station.

Fashion Trendz: Chiffon Wrapper

I am sure by now most of you have seen the chiffon fabric being used to make wrappers and blouses or worn as a wrapper with other fabrics used as tops. The light and smooth fabric is now the toast of the day. It is being adorned by both the young and old. The trend which became popular this year in Nigeria has seen people flaunting it at occasions, sold as aso-ebi (a material sold to friends and family for an occasion by the celebrant) or worn as a day's outfit. 

To get this look, all you need is to get a chiffon fabric from the market and have a tailor make it into a wrapper and blouse or buba (free blouse). You can also make just a wrapper with the chiffon fabric, then buy a silk, lace or sequins fabric for a top. 

Here are a few photos and ways to rock your Chiffon wrapper and beautiful matching tops. This outfits can be worn to any semi-formal and informal event. 

Keep looking elegant ladies #wink
