Kim And Khloe Touch Down In South Africa.

Ladies, lock up your boyfriends! The Kardashian sisters are in town. Celebs Kim and Khloe touched down in Johannesburg on Wednesday afternoon, December 15. The sassy socialites are in South Africa for the exclusive launch of Brutal Fruit’s new flavour. And they will be doing what they do best – partying up a storm. Gala The Keeping Up With The Kardashian stars will be hobnobbing with local celebrities at a secret location in Cape Town. On arrival at the OR Tambo International airport on Wednesday, the hotties were escorted to their hotel and later attended a VIP gala dinner held at a larney Johannesburg restaurant in Melrose Arch, which only 30 guests were invited to. And the sisters will be jolling tonight at a secret location in Cape Town. The visit comes hot on the heels of rumours that super-sexy Kim is considering adoption. Sources close to the 30-year-old says: “Kim Kardashian has really come around to the idea that she could raise an orphan as her own child and surround it with the love and family that she grew up with. She’s not afraid to be a single mom anymore. She knows she has the money and the support network to raise a baby. “Now she just has to find the child that she can be a mother to.

Nigerian Parents Paid Rick Ross $100,000 To Attend Son's Birthday.

US rapper Rick Ross got paid $100,000 (US) in a deal that was brokered on the night (11th Dec) of the 2010 MAMAs in Lagos, to perform at a 10 year old’s birthday party in Abuja. 100,000 big ones! Who are his parents?! The news was tweeted by his official DJ – DJ Sam Sneak, who accompanied him to Lagos for his MAMAs performance. Rick & his entourage were flown to Abuja Sunday afternoon to surprise little Igho. I hope MTV cameras were on hand to capture it all go down…this is definitely one for Sweet 16 10 – Naija Edition

My Top 5 Female Singers.


If you've been on twitter over the 2 past months, you've probably seen all kinds of top singers. Everyone had some sort of top 10 rapper list, and various opinions were brought as well as rebuttals. That's all good and dandy, and I'm not going to drop another rapper list for you. I think by now we know who is hot and who's not. Instead I'll justice to the ladies of vocal power in Nigeria. Too often we get caught up in this male dominated industry that we forget our female companions..

This list is not an attempt to diss anyone or neglect talent, and for the most part it's my opinion (Fabmimi). I did however get validation from a mini sample set of music listeners to get a more refined list. This isn't really a popularity contest, so just because someone is popular doesn't mean she will be number 1. Without too much long gist, here goes…

-

5. Eva D'Diva

In some ways, folks might be puzzled by my #5 pick, but like I said earlier, this is far from a popularity contest, and so in my opinion and the opinion of a few others, Eva D'Diva (EVAEZI OGORO) deserves to be on here. After listening to her song "God Hand" a few months ago, I was more than convinced that she has to be one of the top female voices in Nigeria. Here's a little kicker though; 13 years ago her voice box was crushed after a ghastly auto accident. Today, her voice can move furniture in a banquet hall. Under her belt are a slew of hits including "God Hand", "Na So", "Mo Fe Be." She's been nominated for numerous awards, and has nice collection of hardware in her possession. Don't take my word for it though… Check her out on our music player & on you-tube.

4. Waje

The first time I heard Waje (Waje Iruobe) on P-Square's "Do Me" I wasn't really moved in all honesty. I guess the gbedu aspect of the jam kinda drowned her vocals out, but then years went by, and then I heard "For A Minute", "Thief My Kele" by Banky W, "So Inspired" and a few other features, and I was sold on her. She has that star factor that any singer wants; A consistent voice that never disappoints. My favorite work from her is "So Inspired." Her album is one I'm definitely waiting for. Doubt me? Check her out. She's all over this site.

3. Omawumi

*Sigh*. My beautiful, wonderful crush, Omawumi (Omawumi Megbele). If I wanted to do partia I'll put her at #1, but I'll refrain from that. Omawumi has probably had the biggest year of anyone on this list, and for good reason. Omawumi the semi finalist of West African Idol 2007, burst into the scene shortly after the show, and gave us a wonderful track, "In The Music" where she seriously stamped her name in our minds as a voice to be reckoned with. I don't really think I need to justify this pick too much. The proof is in the music. Her songs, Love Nwantinti, Today na Today, and Niger Delta speak for themselves. Probably my favorite work from her is what she did on Da Grin's "Thank God". Her hook took that song from a level 8 to a level 12. Omawumi na pure talent and there's no denying that.

2. Asa

If this was based on success alone, Asa would be #1. She is probably the most successful female artist of the past 2-3 years. Hit after hit, she's proved that she is here to stay. I see her being very relevant in the next 10 years. With Asa it's not just about the vocal ability, but the intangibles she possesses with her music. She is a musician in the true sense of the word. 2 albums under her belt, and multiple hits including, Jailer, Be My Man, There's a place, Fire On The Mountain… I mean do I need to continue? No I don't. You get the point.

1. Lara George

I have a feeling some people might jump on my #1 pick, but nah that one concern you…jk. I've seen a lot of performers live, including some on this list, and no one… I mean no one (no offense to other singers) can hold a candle to Lara George on stage. This gospel artist flies under the mainstream radar, but anyone that has heard her sing knows that she's the real deal. Her hits include "Nobody Like you", "Ijoba Orun", "Forever in my heart" just to name a few. Still not convinced? Just ask a friend that was at the Nigerian Entertainment Awards 2010 in New York. They are all living (i hope) testimonies to her vocal power on stage. Or better yet, ask the good people at BET; Yes she was featured on BET Now earlier this year. Check out my #1 female singer in naija Lara George – Nobody Like You.

Close calls in no particular order:

Tiwa Savage – Still waiting for an over the top tune from her. Solid work so far though.

Lami – Love her work. If this was top 7 she'd definitely be in it.

Chidynma – One more song from her that is 80% as good as Obimmo and she'll jump to #3 for me.
Month Cheddah coming up very well now.

Well there you have it. My top 5 female singers in Naija. This is mostly my opinion with some input from a few music listeners I know. I don't expect everyone to agree with me… actually I predict only about 20% of the readers of this post will agree with me. So you have an issue? Drop a comment and let me know what your top 5 is, or who you are pissed off is not on the list. Or maybe you feel I know nothing about music… Let me hear it. I would insert 9ice's famous line, but it's getting played out. Peace

Researchers report possible HIV infection cure; others cite dangers

- Researchers in Germany are reporting that they may have cured a man of HIV infection. If true, that would represent a scientific advance, but not necessarily a treatment advance, said researchers familiar with the work.

In the study, published last week online in the journal Blood, researchers at Charite-University Medicine Berlin treated an HIV-infected man who also had acute myeloid leukemia -- a cancer of the immune system -- by wiping out his own immune system with high-dose chemotherapy and radiation and giving him a stem-cell transplant. Stem cells are immature cells that can mature into blood cells.

At the time of the transplant, which occurred in February 2007, he stopped taking anti-HIV medications.

Thirteen months later, after a relapse of the leukemia, he underwent a second round of treatment followed by another stem-cell transplant from the same donor.

The donor's stem cells contained a rare, inherited gene mutation that made them naturally resistant to infection with HIV, according to the authors, led by Kristina Allers, who hypothesized that HIV would nevertheless rebound over time. But that has not happened.

After three-and-a-half years off of anti-HIV drugs, the patient shows no sign of either leukemia or HIV replication and his immune system has been restored to normal health, the researchers reported, concluding, "our results strongly suggest that cure of HIV has been achieved in this patient."

But AIDS researchers predicted the report will have little impact on practice.

"This probably is a cure, but it comes at a bit of a price," said Dr. Michael Saag, professor of medicine and director of the University of Alabama at Birmingham AIDS Center.

"For him to receive the donor cells, his body had to have all of his immune system wiped out" and then receive a bone marrow transplant, Saag noted. "The Catch-22 here is that the best candidates for a cure, ideally, are people who are healthy" and don't have leukemia.

The treatment associated with wiping out the immune system "is very hazardous," he said in a telephone interview.

"Even if somebody doesn't die from a transplant, there are complications that make it very unpleasant for people to live with," he said, citing graft-versus-host disease, where the infused donor cells attack the body. In a number of cases, the transplant proves fatal.

The study is a proof of the concept "that our understanding of HIV biology is correct, and that if you eliminate -- not just in theory but in practice -- all of the cells in the body that are producing HIV and replace them with uninfected cells, you have a cure," Saag said.

But remaining infected with HIV is not always associated with the same grim outcome that was the norm prior to the mid-1990s, when more effective anti-HIV drugs were developed, he said.

"We can keep people alive for a normal life span," he said. "That means a 25-year-old diagnosed today with HIV has a reasonably good chance of living to 80, 85, 90."

Further limiting the treatment's potential appeal is the fact that it could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars for each patient who gets it, he said.

"It's not going to be applicable unless they develop leukemia or lymphoma and need a bone-marrow transplant,"Saag said.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, called it impractical. "It's hard enough to get a good compatible match for a transplant like this," he said in a statement. "But you also have to find (a) compatible donor that has this genetic defect, and this defect is only found in 1% of the Caucasian population and 0% of the black population. This is very rare."

But HIV itself is not. According to the World Health Organization, 33.4 million people worldwide have the virus that causes AIDS.
