I Have Goals Written Up And Posted Around My Room - Blessing Okagbare

Nigeria and Africa’s fastest woman, Blessing Okagbare, who currently holds the continents record in 100m says she has goals written up and posted around her room.

The sprinter who recently featured in a new Nike campaign tagged #Africasofast, says she would like to break her records.

"I’d like to break 10.7 seconds for the 100 and 22.8 seconds for the 200, and I want to jump further than 7.3 meters in the long jump. I have goals written up and posted around my room. I write them as soon as I wake, when I’m feeling fresh."

"Growing up I was very skinny and someone told me that I could never do sports because I was too soft and fragile. I didn’t let it get to me. I pushed through and became a jumper. Then, I set a new goal to be a runner. It’s all about setting goals and keeping your mind set on those goals. Don’t ever give up on yourself."

50 Cent To Pay Rick Ross Baby Mama $5 Million For Sex Tape Leak

50 Cent is down $5 million after losing the sex tape lawsuit with Rick Ross' baby mama, and he might owe even more money.

The jurors -- 4 women, 2 men --  deliberated for just over an hour before awarding Lavonia Leviston $2.5 million in damages for using her image without her permission ... and another $2.5 mil for intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Leviston's lawyers argued that the rapper had leaked the tape online as a ploy for publicity, and to diss Ricky Rozay.

Fifty never showed up during the trial or even for the verdict. Next week, the jury will decide on punitive damages ... so Fifty's tab could go way up.

Darey Is Back...Drops Two Hit Singles - Asiko Laiye Ft. Olamide + Pray For Me Ft. Soweto Gospel Choir

King of RnB Darey Alade is back with two hit singles.

''The diversity that forms part of the Darey’s latest album, Naked is apparent on a song like Asiko Laiye, which draws its prime influence from the Father of contemporary African music, Fela Anikulapo Kuti. The serious, yet light hearted tune is an ode to Afrobeat, but with the vocal delivery of an R n’ B song, fused with the African “street-hop” flavor contributed by Nigerian indigenous Hip-Hop superstar, Olamide who features on the track.

Despite the danceable nature of the song, true to the Spirit of Afrobeat, Darey is able to deliver a very strong message to the dance floor, without missing a beat.''
