I’m looking forward to showing my relationship with Rob, our day to day, our struggles and what we’re dealing with, positive and negative. I hope when people think about Blac Chyna, they think of a mogul and entrepreneur, a mother and a badass bitch.”

Sergio Aguero set to miss Manchester derby after violent conduct charge

As football fans salivate in anticipation of the upcoming Manchester derby, they may be robbed of a particularly tasty morsel as Sergio Aguero looks set to miss the tantalising clash. The striker has been slapped with a violent conduct charge by the FA after cameras caught him elbowing Winston Reid in Manchester City's 3-1 win over West Ham.


It means Aguero is facing a three-match ban which will keep him out of the first derby under Pep Guardiola at Old Trafford on September 10th.

The 28-year-old, who has scored six goals already this season, has until 6pm on Wednesday to respond to the charge.
 Aguero will also be out for a Premier League clash against Bournemouth and an EFL Cup trip to Swansea City.


If the striker is found guilty and subsequently banned, City manager, Pep Guardiola will be left with Kelechi Iheanacho as his only recognised striker.All the luck to man city fans and Aguero

'We expect better economic outlook for the second half of the year' - Presidency lashes out..

The Presidency says it expects a better economic outlook for Nigeria during this second half of the year. Read a statement released from the presidency below...
 The just released GDP figures for the 2016 second quarter by the National Bureau of Statistics while confirming a temporary decline, has also indicated an hopeful expectation in the country's economic trajectory.

Besides the growth recorded in the agriculture and solid mineral sectors, the Nigerian economy in response to the policies of the Buhari presidency is also doing better than what the IMF had estimated with clear indications that the second half of the year would be even much better.

The Buhari presidency will continue to work diligently on the economy and engage with all stakeholders to ensure that beneficial policy initiatives are actively pursued and the dividends delivered to the Nigerian people.

The following statement was made by the Special Adviser to the President on Economic Matters, Dr. Adeyemi Dipeolu on the latest NBS report:

"The just recently released data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed that Gross Domestic Product declined by -2.06% in the second quarter of 2016 on a year-on-year basis.

A close look at the data shows that this outcome was mostly due to a sharp contraction in the oil sector due to huge losses of crude oil production as a result of vandalisation and sabotage.

However, the rest of the Q2 data is beginning to tell a different story. There was growth in the agricultural and solid minerals sectors which are the areas in which the Federal Government has placed particular priority.

Agriculture grew by 4.53% in the second quarter of 2016 as compared with 3.09% in the first quarter. The metal ores sector showed similar performance with coal mining, quarrying and other minerals also showing positive growth of over 2.5%. Notably also, the share of investments in GDP increased to its highest levels since 2010, growing to about 17% of Gross Domestic Product.

The manufacturing sector though not yet truly out of the woods is beginning to show signs of recovery while the service sector similarly bears watching.

Nevertheless, the data already shows a reduction in imports and an increase in local produced goods and services and this process will be maintained although it will start off slowly in these initial stages before picking up later.

The inflation rate remains high but the good news is that the month-on-month rate of increase has fallen continuously over the past three months.

Unemployment remains stubbornly high which is usually the case during growth slowdowns and for reasons of a structural nature.

The picture that emerges, barring unforeseen shocks, is that the areas given priority by the Federal Government are beginning to respond with understandable time lags to policy initiatives. Indeed, as the emphasis on capital expenditure begins to yield results and the investment/GDP numbers increase, the growth rate of the Nigerian economy is likely to improve further.

As these trends continue, the outlook for the rest of the year is that the Nigerian economy will beat the IMF prediction of -1.8% for the full year 2016.

The IMF had forecasted a growth of -1.8% for 2016, however the economy is performing better than the IMF estimates so far. For the half year it stands at -1.23% compared to an average of -1.80% expected on average by the IMF.

What is more, it is likely the second half will be better than the first half of 2016. This is because many of the challenges faced in the first half either no longer exist or have eased.

In an exclusive interview for the latest issue of People Magazine, reclusive reality star Rob Kardashian and his pregnant fiancée, Blac Chyna, opened up about their impending arrival, repairing relations with his famous sisters and dealing with his 100-lb. weight gain. Read some excerpts below...



About the long, dark road that he found himself on before finding love and happiness with fiancée Blac Chyna, Rob said: "She got me through my darkest time. I wasn't happy in my own skin. I missed out on so many things."

On how he went from secluding himself inside the house he shared with sister Khloé to falling in love and proposing to Chyna
: "I've been friends with Chyna for a long time. She was someone I reached out to for advice. She would cook for me and we'd just talk. She's surrounded me with a lot of positivity. From the moment we met, I knew I wanted to be more than friends. Chyna definitely motivates me. Being with her got me over the insecurity of being out in public."



Blac Chyna also revealed that she wasn't out to change Rob but to only give him support. "I saw Rob was willing to better himself. I had never wanted to be tough. I never wanted to change him."

The lady who accused Chris Brown is a suspect in a Plaza Hotel theft of a designer bag

The former Miss California called 911 and accused Chris Brown of pointing a gun at her head. Well, it's now been revealed that she's a suspect and wanted in NYC for questioning in a theft at a hotel. TMZ reports below...
The woman claiming Chris Brown pulled a gun on her is wanted in NYC for questioning in connection with criminal theft ... for allegedly stealing a fancy designer purse at a swanky hotel.
The incident could be significant in the Chris Brown case, because alleged victim Baylee Curran claims a certain piece of jewelry that caught her eye triggered the events that led to her 911 call.

Baylee was vacationing with a few friends at The Plaza back in 2013 when they began arguing in the hotel. According to police docs, Baylee snatched a $1,000 Louis Vuitton purse from one of the girls and ran out of the hotel.

The purse contained $200 in cash, as well as credit cards and a Michael Kors wallet.

Security chased Baylee, who allegedly dropped the purse but somehow fled with the contents.

By the time cops arrived Baylee was long gone. There's a warrant of sorts -- it's called an I-Card -- which will allow NYPD cops to pick her up and take her to the station for questioning, if they find her in the city.

Apparently, the incident was bad enough that the alleged purse-snatching victim got a restraining order against Baylee from an L.A. judge.

Baylee's rep tells TMZ she had no idea New York City cops wanted her for questioning. She also claims her friend was the thief ... not her.......

Selena Gomez says she's taking time off her career due to anxiety and depression stemming from her Lupus diagnosis

Singer and actress Selena Gomez has revealed that she'll be taking time away from the entertainment scene as a precautionary measure, as her Lupus disease can bring forth side effects such as panic attacks, depression and anxiety......
"As many of you know, around a year ago I revealed that I have lupus, an illness that can affect people in different ways,  I've discovered that anxiety, panic attacks and depression can be side effects of lupus, which can present their own challenges''. The 24-year-old told People, who first reported the story.
 She continues
"I want to be proactive and focus on maintaining my health and happiness and have decided that the best way forward is to take some time off. Thank you to all my fans for your support. You know how special you are to me, but I need to face this head on to ensure I am doing everything possible to be my best. I know I am not alone by sharing this, I hope others will be encouraged to address their own issues.
Last year in an interview with Billboard magazine for their October 2015 issue, Selena revealed she had been diagnosed with Lupus and had even undergone chemotherapy.
Her last post on Instagram was two weeks ago.

See the $30million New York penthouse where Kanye and Kim are staying free of charge while he's on tour

Kim Kardashian has used her star power to get hold of a luxury apartment in New York thanks to Airbnb. Under the terms of the deal, Kim and Kanye will stay for three months in the $100k-a-month abode for free and in return will advertise the company by sharing pictures from her stay there on social media.

Kylie enjoyed a similar deal when she made use of a $50m villa for her 19th birthday bash in the Turks and Caicos. While Kanye owns an apartment in New York it is believed that the home is too small for his growing family, which now includes two children.

Kim and nine month old Saint and three-year-old North will be staying in the free penthouse while Kanye travels across North America for his Saint Pablo Tour.

 The luxury home boasts five bedrooms, six bathrooms, with floor to ceiling windows.

Kim is already keeping up her end of the deal as she shared a picture from the house with the caption:
'Just checked into our NYC penthouse. Thanks @airbnb for the gift of our home away from home
