* World's oldest person dies at 114

French nun Eugenie Blanchard, certified as the world's oldest person, has died at the age of 114 on the French Caribbean island of Saint-Barthelemy.

She was born on 16 February 1896, when the opera La Boheme was in its first season and just after the first X-ray machine had been unveiled.

On Saint-Barthelemy, she was known for giving out sweets to children.

Her record longevity was declared after the death of Japan's Kama Chinen on 2 May, shortly before her 115th birthday.

Miss Blanchard died just after 0300 local time (0700 GMT) in hospital in Gustania, Saint-Barthelemy's capital, local sources told the AFP news agency.

She had retired to the island of her birth 30 years ago, having passed much of her religious vocation a few hundred kilometres away on Curacao, a Dutch island territory off Venezuela.

After her return to Saint-Barthelemy, she acquired the nickname La Douchy - a Dutch Creole word for sweets - from the tactic she used to draw children into Bible readings.

"She would offer the children sweets, saying 'douchy, douchy', and the name stuck," nephew Daniel Blanchard said.

Mr Blanchard, a former mayor of Saint-Barthelemy, attributed his aunt's great age to her virtue.

She lived so long because "she had decided to give her virginity to God", he said.

She was born into a France where Felix Faure was president and Alfred Dreyfus was still serving his unjust sentence on Devil's Island.

The Lumiere brothers had shown their first motion picture the previous year and, as well as Puccini's Parisian-inspired opera in Turin, that February saw the premiere of Oscar Wilde's last play, Salome, in the French capital.

Miss Blanchard took the veil at the age of 24, assuming the name of Sister Cyria Costa.

Late into her life, she still enjoyed a glass of champagne on her birthday, her nephew said.

Eugenie Blanchard was 114 years, eight months and 20 days old when she died.

It appears that she has been succeeded as the world's verified oldest living person by Texan woman Eunice Sanborn, who was born on 20 July 1896.

The oldest human being on record was also a Frenchwoman. Jeanne Louise Calment died in 1997 at the age of 122 years.

Asa releases sophomore

On Monday the 25th of October, Nigeria’s international songbird, Bukola Elemide a.k.a Asa released her second album for sale in France, Nigeria, South Africa and Switzerland. It’s titled ‘Beautiful Imperfection’.

A teaser to the full album release was streamed on line few weeks back in a rock-tinged single with hints of 1960s soul.

Asa

The song, ‘Be my man’ presented a more confident Asa who dared to dance and let her hair down before a man – her lover.

The full body of work consists 12 tracks with titles like: Why Can’t We, Preacher Man, Bimpé, The Way I Feel, Dreamer Girl, Oré, Broda Olé and Questions.

The album premiered on iTunes on the 15th of this moth before the CD release. Asa describes her new album which is more pop than soul as “uplifting” than the first one – even if it also happens to sound dreamy.

Beautiful Imperfection will be released in other European countries at the beginning of November and next year in the USA, Australia and Canada.

10 sexiest men in entertainment in 2010!


10. Joseph Benjamin “Joseph made his big break from being a co-host for MTN’s Project fame west Africa and since he debuted, he has captured the ladies with his smooth, velvety voice and charming personality. Little wonder he was cast as leading man along side deliciously sexy, super star actress, Genevieve Nnaji.

Everyone knows that in the entertainment industry worldwide, women need a bit more to glitz and glam themselves up. From hair extensions, makeup, lipstick, and more, it takes extra effort for a woman to become fabulous. However, when it comes to the beautiful men of Nigerian Entertainment, they are just born with it. From their obvious oozing appeals, to their sexy looks, these men don’t need much to melt the hearts of their favorite fans.

With that being said,NFC has decided to turn the heat up as the year 2010 comes to an end, and give its viewers our picks of Top 10 sexiest men in Entertainment for the year 2010.


9. Banky W I was with some female entertainment lovers and they all simultaneously agreed that the list would be empty without including a Banky W. No he doesnt have the albs to dazzle you with, nor does he go shirtless in those photoshoots, but he still succeeds in oozing sexiness in the most unusual way. What do you expect? The man has got a soothing voice, shapeless bank account and a charming smile, why would the ladies say no?


8. Naeto C:“A smitten female fan simply described Naeto C is “painfully sexy” simply because he is sexy without even trying. Ladies, if you’re looking for raw hotness with few words, Naeto is your man. The only MC with a MSC has proven that he also has sex appeal to help sell his music to make Africa’s top MC’s list and he is also making the Top list of entertainment men, women are lusting after”.


7. DIPP“In America and world wide, Usher Raymond is a sex god and a people pleaser. Back here in Nigeria, Dipp seems to pull off a similar effect. My friend Boma described him as “the mesmerizing eye-candy”. And if you look closely you’d realize the subtle charm that makes the ladies go gaga.


6. Mike Ezuruonye “Not even getting married could distract his teeming female fan base. One of the basic requirements of becoming a movie star isnt just the ability to interpret roles but also having charisma and finesse. Not only does Mike possess these qualities, he also has the panache to wow the screen audience with. So its going to be a sin if he didnt make the cut.


5. Jim Iyke Jim has had all the tags you can easily think of. From “nollywood bad boy” to “serial lover” etc, but the young actor turned musician has smiled to the banks courtesy of them. You may be wondering why do ladies love bad boys and i could serve you with a lengthy paradox of my opinion but that should be left for another day. Think P’ddidy and you would understand why Jim Iyke is such a big deal. The man recently announced the berth of his reality show “Jewel for Jim” that would search for the ultimate love of his life and the women have been going crazy with interest. Take it or leave it, Jim has an overdose of something that magnets the women, and that something is sexy.


4. Ikechukwu (Killz) For the lovers of albs, and six packs, Ikechukwu Onunaku is definitely the man to eye. I can still remember how Freda described him, she said and i quote “Ikechukwu looks mean, in a sexy way”. I wondered if that could be a good thing and once i asked, the ladies were all purple with blush. Every woman wants a man who looks like those models on GQ covers, they want sexy, they want perfect body even if its just a fantasy. That explains why IK is our No 4 pick


3. Ramsey Nouah The incredible thing about this man is that he goes from way back. Listen to what Nonye said “Ramsey was sexy many years ago, from over 10 years and look at him today, he is still every inch sexy”. Standing tall amidst the current influx of young sexy talented actors, this Nollywood star has held his own and proven to be a true star, stars never fade. Another classic example of men who age like fine wine (whether naturally or not, I’m not entirely sure). Sophisticated, sexy, with a voice that will melt you like silly putty, Ramsey Nouah is definitely scorching hot


2. Kenneth Okolie “Kenneth Okolie”, the girls chorused and breath a pleasant sigh. “Where has he been all our lives”, Nonye asked. I agreed with them on every reason why he should be on the No 2 spot, infact Abigail felt he should be No 1. But seriously the young man is every inch a desirable and visually enchanting male specimen. If you doubt our judgment maybe you should wonder what the Mr World jury saw too to have made him the 3rd most desirable man in the world. Who says African men dont have world appeal? Collectively we summed Kenneth up in five words, masculine, quintessentially good looking, irresistible, dangerously sexy and alluring.


1. Peter Okoye Peter is the “very noticeable” partner of the duo “Psquare”. The young man is sexy and he knows it and flaunts it whenever he can. Nonye says “He is so sexy that it hurts”. Boma agreed “It’s hard not to love him, the guy is pleasing to the eyes and he makes good music too.I mean look at him! He’s the kind of gorgeous that fairy tales are made of”. Need i say more?
