BBC hosts debates in Nigeria as part of 100 Women season

  

More than 100 conversations across the world will discuss what it means to be a “good girl” or an “ideal woman”

On 1st December, BBC 100 Women – a season dedicated to shining a light on women’s lives around the world – will bring together a series of debates from across the globe, to be broadcast live on BBC World News, BBC World Service and bbc.com.

The BBC will host debates throughout the day at Broadcasting House, London, while more than 100 conversations will happen across the globe in eight languages. In Nigeria, Morning Crossfire on Nigeria Info FM and Being Female in Nigeria will host discussions to contribute to the BBC’s live feed.

Focussing on leadership, image and relationships, the debates will ask women across the world if they feel they have to conform to what is considered the “right way” to behave. They will also be asked what they believe to be a “good girl” and who decides what is “good” – them, their family or society. The debates will also find out how women react to those pressures and expectations, and if they accept or reject them.

Fiona Crack, BBC 100 Women Editor said: “This debate is really special because we are giving women around the world the opportunity to have their voices heard on topics that matter to them. We’ll be tapping in to more than 100 conversations happening in almost 50 countries, and we’re excited to have contributions from Nigeria. The level of response we’ve had of people wanting to take part is testament to how needed these debates are.”

Also taking part in the debates are the Universities of Harvard, Yale, Tokyo, Mumsnet, the Girl Guides, Kelly Yang project, Age International, Women to Women in LA, Being Female in Nigeria, Afghanistan Women’s Organisation, the 50/50 group in Sierra Leone and the School of the Nations in Macau, amongst others.

On 1st December, between 09:30 and 13:00 GMT, the debates will look at leadership, raising questions around whether women who act like men are more likely to become leaders, and if quotas are the only way to see more women in public roles.

Between 13:00 and 16:00 GMT, the focus will be on image and whether beautiful women more likely to succeed, and how much time women spend perfecting their image – whether in reality or on social media.

From 16.00 until 19:00 GMT, relationships will be the key topic, questioning if it is expected for a woman to be subservient and whether relationships are more or less likely to fail when a woman is successful.

Watch LIVE at bbc.com/100women between 0930 and 1900 GMT

A recording of the event will broadcast on BBC World News at 0930-1000, 1330-1400, 1630-1700 GMT

Listen on the BBC World Service English at 1100-1200, 1500-1600, 1800-1900 GMT

Its amazing what people are going though  and what battles  they may be fighting! Alariwo has been off the entertainment scene for a while after  being at the top of his game in the Nigerian music industry at one tine..,its now been revealed that  he had health issues he was dealing with.

Cross over King Alariwo of Africa recently revealed to Punch his battle with Varicocele an ailment that has to deal with the scrotum.  

 Varicocele an abnormal enlargement of the pampiniform venous plexus in the scrotum and also the need to still cater to his wife who  is also down with a medical condition.

    
When  he spoke  with Punch recently he said that while it was true that he had an issues with his health, it was not as critical as the reports, which were mostly published online, implied.

He said, “People have been speculating about my health lately. Some reports even said I was bedridden. This is not true. I was not bedridden and I have never been. But it is true that I am about to undergo surgery.

“I am still trying to find the right place to have it done. I have to choose either India, Germany, Israel, England or America. I have been taking some drugs to slow down the pain in my scrotum until I am ready to undergo surgery. All I just need is enough funds to travel abroad and treat it.”

The singer, who was looking as spritely as ever, said he had had a very rough time coping with his own condition and taking care of his sick wife, who recently came down with a medical condition known as acute pulmonary embolism and was admitted in a Lagos hospital.

So Tyga and Kylie Jenner have broken up;Tyga got dumped on his 26th birthday!

See am not suprised about these two splitting up?! I mean we all just kinda saw it coming..

First she was underage and then they lied and lied and lied and lied some more that they werent dating,and then she turns 18 and they just go Bam! 100% full on! and then Tyga tattooed Kylie's name on his arm 

And then this photo happened!

The first part is Kim and Kanye with Tyga and Blac Chyna who used to be Kim's bestie and the other half is Kim and Kanye again with of course Tyga and this time new flame Kylie and I remember there was a comment on a blog that said the only person that smiled will be the next to be out of the equation..Have you figured yet??

 Blac was the one smiling in the first half and shortly after got bounced! and of course Tyga is the only one smiling in the second half  and well...

See what E! is  saying of their break up!

"Tyga rang in his 26th birthday on Thursday, and fans everywhere noticed that Kylie Jenner was nowhere to be found—not on social media, not at his birthday party and not by his side.

Turns out, E! News can confirm the couple who started dating in October 2014 has broken up.

Kylie was the one who made the decision to call things off just as she returned from Australia on Thursday because of "something Tyga did," a source tells TMZ.

"They are on a break," another insider tells us. "They were just a week or so ago talking about ‘ever after' and things got messy this past week. Kylie wants time to just be by her self and do her. Tyga is not giving up as that's his one and only lady.

Insiders connected with the rapper also tell us that "he's devastated" and denies "doing anything" at all.

To prove the breakup even more, we must point out that Tyga celebrated his birthday with a dinner at The Nice Guy in West Hollywood before moving the party to 1Oak nightclub. Everyone from A$AP Rocky, Wiz Khalifa, Jamie Foxx and Leonardo DiCaprio were in attendance, but not one Kardashian or Jenner showed up.

Moreover, Kylie the queen of social media didn't mention anything about Tyga's birthday across any of her social platforms. Her most recent post is a photo of herself.

On Snapchat she also shared a video singing Bryson Tiller's "Been That Way," which features lyrics about a breakup: "She don't never want to see us go through round two/Cut her off that's what I'm doing now, you/Told me I should go out and do my thing/Damn right I do my thing."

It's also interesting to note that Kendall Jenner who TMZ says had harsh words to say about the rapper while out to dinner on Thursday night took to Instagram to share a photo of someone's middle finger. Perhaps a message to the rapper?"

Well for E! News to confirm it simply means the breakup is Authentic cos thats the network that runs all the Kardashian shows..

But chai nawa ohhh not one Kardashian turned up for Tyga.. sorry dude .

So whats next for Dimeji Alara??

Dimeji Alara is a popular name in Fashion and beauty Journalism in Nigeria.

He has worked with well known magazines and publications,as well as being a contributor to international sites.

 He However just resigned from his gig at Genevieve Magazine,He joined Genevieve as a writer rising to Editor shortly after pulling out from another top Magazine StyleMania..

 On why he left Genevieve he says to Made Edit..

"The truth is, I love being alive. And I love feeling free. So if I can't have those things, then I feel like a caged animal, and I'd rather not be in a cage. It’s tough as a creative person to give your best when you have very little time to create, especially when your work becomes commercial and people expect you to constantly churn out your best every month.

 As a creative person, you do need time to vet your ideas, love and hate them, scrap and come up with something else. I barely had that time at Genevieve, everything was moving so fast, and I was dealing with exhaustion. I started hating everything I created and couldn’t even stand the sight of it. And for me I believe that whatever is worth doing, is worth doing well. When you reach that point where you feel you are not giving your best, you have to take a step back, take a deep breath and look inwards, at least till you can figure out yourself and put your mind back on track.

 People expect you to create magic, which isn’t possible if your mind is not at the right place. That said, I did have the opportunity to work with some amazing people at Genevieve, people I’m still very much in touch with till today, and I’m very grateful for that. I had a very understanding publisher too, even though we didn't always agree."

Hmmmm... guess we would have to keep our fingers crossed for Mr Alara's new venture..

While we wait....some recent photos of  him

Sorry Guys! Lads mags FHM and Zoo publications to be discontinued!

Bauer Media, the Organisation behind the two publications FHM and Zoo have announced their intention to discontinue both magazines.

FHM mostly popular for its 100 sexiest women in the world and its counterpart Zoo are often graced by covers of scantily clad women and celebrities.

Branded as a "mainstream men’s lifestyle magazine delivering innovative content to an audience of modern 20-something men" 

FHM and Zoo are to close by the end of the year, marking the end of the lads’ mag era that dominated UK magazine publishing in the late 90s and early 2000s.

Publisher Bauer Media described the closures, which are still subject to a consultation on the future of 20 jobs across the two titles, as a suspension, but the plan is to close both the print and digital versions of the magazines by 2016.

The closures reflect an overall decline in magazine sales, which has seen many titles close and others, such as Time Inc UK’s NME, dropping their cover price and distributing free copies, as readers have moved online.

Bauer Media, which publishes both 'men's lifestyle' titles, said falling sales combined with an increasing preference for digital content instead had prompted the move.

The lads’ mag market has been especially hard hit by new technology and changing habits due to the easy availability of nudity and pornography on the internet and the decline of the specific form of “lad culture” that helped make the titles so successful.

FHM and Zoo were the last of the big men’s magazines of the past 20 years, famed for a brash tone and copious nudity.

Both titles have seen steep declines from their heyday. FHM’s circulation fell to less than 67,000 for the first six months of this year, 20% less than in 2014, while Zoo was selling just over 24,000 copies, a fall of more than 12%.

That compares to the more than 700,000 copies FHM was selling in 2000, while Zoo launched in 2004 with a circulation of 200,000 before peaking in 2005 at more than 260,000.

Though both magazines were adding digital subscribers, numbers remained low, between them shifting not much more than 3,000 digital editions on average in the first six months of this year. Bauer claims the titles have a combined digital reach of 5 million people, but the publisher will have found it difficult to make as much money from ads online as it had done in print.

Bauer publisher Gareth Cherriman said: “I greatly appreciate [editor-in-chief] Damien McSorley’s leadership and the dedication and effort from both teams.

“I would like to thank our advertisers and retailers who have supported the brands and I’m sure that everyone who has worked on FHM and Zoo over the years will be sorry to hear this news.”

The websites of both Zoo and FHM issued their own statements expressing their regret at having to cease publication.

FHM was first published in 1985 as For Him Magazine, but changed its name and increased publication from a quarterly to a monthly print in 1994, with its popularity sparking numerous international editions.
