Late Super Eagles defender and coach, Stephen Keshi would have celebrated his 56th birthday if he were to be alive today, but nonetheless he has been honoured by tech Giant Google with a doodle.  

Doodles are changes made to the Google logo to celebrate holidays, anniversaries, and the lives of famous artists, pioneers, and scientists.  

The 'Big Boss' as he was fondly called in his lifetime died in June 2016, less than seven months after he lost his wife, Kate, to cancer.

He won the African Cup of Nations for Nigeria as a player in 1994 and was the only Nigerian to have won the same tournament as a coach, a feat he achieved in South Africa in 2013. In the same year, he qualified the Super Eagles for the 2014 World Cup held in Brazil, thereby becoming the first African coach to qualify two African countries for the World Cup finals.  

Before guiding the Super Eagles to a successful AFCON, Keshi was in charge of Mali and Togo, with whom he enjoyed a measure of success. He was the first coach to qualify lowly Togo to for the 2006 World Cup. But he was sacked just before the tournament and was replaced by Otto Pfiser after the tiny West African country dismal showing at the 2006 African Cup of Nations in Egypt

Big Brother Naija star, Bisola turned 32 years old on Sunday, January 21st and she marked the occasion with family, friends and some fellow housemates

The singer, actress and event host rocked looked simple and chick for her day.

Bisola Aiyeola shot to limelight after she emerged the 1st runner up of the Big Brother Naija reality show in 2017. Born 1986 in the United Kingdom, Bisola is a mother of one after a failed relationship with baby daddy, Olanrewaju Malcolm, who is an artiste manager and showbiz promoter.

Bisola Aiyeola’s fame actually began when she contested in the 2008 edition of MTN Project Fame and this is what she has to say about how the competition helped her;

“Project Fame helped me in the movie industry. The first director I got to work with was a D.O.P on Project fame. 

”In another interview, Bisola revealed she was a spoilt child till age 8 when her then well-off family hit some major hurdles.

She had to move to rural Nigeria where she lived with cousins selling make up and she got another shot at the high life when she came fifth in a reality singing competition.

Fast forward to 2017 after she emerged first runner-up #BBNaija reality TV show, Bisola Aiyeola attended the 72nd session of the UN General Assembly in New York as a ONE ambassador.

Addressing the #Goalkeepers17 on issues affecting girls’ education in Nigeria, Bisola wowed many with her speech when she said:

“If I didn’t have an education I likely wouldn’t have had the opportunity to be an ambassador for ONE or be at #UNGA

“Raising issues on girl child education online is important. You never know who’s watching and going to take action”

“We are using social media to urge governments to put policies in place that will improve Nigerians’ lives”

“You don’t have to wait for government. We all can make a difference by helping one girl at a time get education”

According to her, the man referred to actresses as hustlers who sleep with rich men,

She wrote;

“Went out yesterday with my sister @adellenkuda to have a meal with a male friend. First time meeting …great food…conversation was going well and the evening was looking good as I love good conversations. In a blink of an eye, this guy spoils the entire mood and says “what do you have to say about the fact that people see actresses as hustlers?” He doesn’t stop there …he goes further to say he works with lots of top guns in Nigeria and he knows a couple of them who date actresses. In a split second, the food went from good to bad…evening went from great to ‘ungreat’ (I know there’s no word like that)…conversation turned sour. How do you say something like that to someone you are just meeting for the first time over a meal? I actually saw that question as immature because the generalization is just unforgivable . If that question was coming from someone I have known for a while, it won’t have been as offensive as it was. We do our best to put smiles on the faces of people by working tirelessly to make sure there’s something for your viewing pleasure and you put this annoying tag on us???? Trust my sister, she just stood right up and walked away. I did my best to maintain composure because I don’t want any blogger writing about me this new year. It took the Grace of God for me to be calm. Actresses are not all the terrible things you call them! Just like there are still good people around, there are still good actresses around. STOP THE GENERALIZATION ! WE ARE NOT STRAYS!!”

Fans can go crazy when they meet the act who is all up in their imagination right? Well that was what happened when Davido performed his hit single ‘FIA’ at a show recently.

The superstar singer allowed his fans who wanted to get a hold of him, to touch his penis while he smiled during the performance.

Here’s the video below;

Not the first time the words ‘Game of Thrones’ and ‘wedding’ have been mentioned in the same sentence, but at least this time fans shan’t worry. In some delightful news to perk up your day, Maisie Williams has revealed she’ll be Sophie Turner’s bridesmaid when the actress marries singer Joe Jonas. Speaking with Radio Times, the actress – who is gearing up for the HBO show’s eighth and final season – revealed she’s part of her on-screen sibling’s bridal party. When asked if she would be a bridesmaid, she said: ‘I’ve already got it’.

However she confirmed there is no rush on the nuptials, as there’s work to be done on the all important finale before seating arrangements are locked in, following their October engagement. Maisie said: ‘We’re waiting until this season’s done until we get into any of that but I think she’s already let her little heart wander and imagine.’ The actress recently opened up on Lorraine about the closing of the Game of Thrones chapter. Having spent most of her formative years on the show, she was nervous to lose her ‘safety blanket’.

Looks like the passports of Davido and everyone who flew back with him to Lagos from Dubai were seized at the airport after his crew member, Kayode aka Tyconne was arrested following an alleged violent scuffle over verification of luggage;

Even though Kayode has since been bailed out of jail, all their passsports have still not been released. Davido's brother, Adewale took to Snapchat to express his frustration at the non-release of their passports.

The model who was supposed to be the first woman in a hijab to be part of a mainstream advert for hair care has said she's pulling out of the campaign following backlash.

UK beauty blogger Amena Khan says she's pulling out of a L'Oreal campaign "because of the current conversations surrounding it". She made the announcement via Instagram.

Khan's decision follows the discovery of tweets she wrote in 2014, which some have branded as "anti-Israel". Only days back, she revealed that she was delighted to be a part of the L'Oreal campaign.

She told Newsbeat: "It's a platform for diverse voices and women who don't fit the very narrow mould of beauty."

However, after she was accused of expressing "anti-Israel" views in a number of now-deleted tweets from 2014, she stepped down. Amena had hoped her role would inspire and empower other women who wear headscarves.

A spokesperson for L'Oreal Paris told Newsbeat: "We have recently been made aware of a series of tweets posted in 2014 by Amena Kahn, who was featured in a UK advertising campaign. We appreciate that Amena has since apologised for the content of these tweets and the offence they have caused. L'Oreal Paris is committed to tolerance and respect towards all people. We agree with her decision to step down from the campaign."
