Breaking News!! No More Condoms? Scientists Finally Find a Cure for HIV!

For years, people were wondering when can they stop wearing condoms while having s*x with their partners, well it looks like the time is right around the corner.
It seems the long awaited cure for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) – a lentivirus that causes HIV infection and over time acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, AIDS, has been invented by scientists.
Below is how popular U.S gossip website, MediaTakeOut reported the story;
For years, people were wondering WHEN CAN THEY REMOVE THEIR CONDOMS . . . well it looks like it’s right around the corner.

Scientists have for the FIRST TIME EVER – proved that they can CURE HIV. Yesterday scientists CONFIRMED that they were able to edit out HIV-1 DNA from the genome of human immune cells, preventing virus replication and reinfection of the cleared cells.
In layman’s language, they used GENE THERAPY to cure HIV in HUMAN cells.

Dr. Kamel Khalili, director of the Comprehensive NeuroAIDS Center at Temple University claims that they are ready to put his new gene therapy into a new drug that will cure HIV in patients even after they stop taking the drugs.

“The findings are important on multiple levels. They demonstrate the effectiveness of our gene editing system in eliminating HIV from the DNA of CD4 T-cells and, by introducing mutations into the viral genome, permanently inactivating its replication. Further, they show that the system can protect cells from reinfection and that the technology is safe for the cells, with no toxic effects,” Khalili said in a press release.

Caroline Danjuma’s Alleged Rival, Mya Hassan Welcomes Daughter
Actress Danjuma’s alleged rival Mya Hassan has welcomed her first child, a baby girl whose photos she shared on Instagram last night. Now, the new mum is setting the records straight about claims that she was pregnant with Musa Danjuma’s child.
“I’ve been on an Instagram hiatus with the newfound love of my life,” Mya wrote. “My friends have kept me informed of the funniest posts I’ve been missing though. So as well as being a human milk machine I’ve been kept highly amused. Everybody meet Sadia! My babylove”

Mya Hassan was dating the Senegalese star until last September when he physically abused her and was arrested by the Metro police in London, though he denied those claims after he was released. Later, Mya was linked to Caroline Musa Danjuma‘s husband who allegedly planned to marry her.
Sources close to the Danjuma family said that Caroline Danjuma had moved out of her matrimonial home after she learned of her husband’s new escapades with Mya, but the actress stepped out for her movie premiere with her husband. Later, Caroline Danjuma posted about forgiveness and how she is not ready to burn bridges.
Well, Mya Hassan is making it clear that her baby isn’t Musa Danjuma’s, and now we sigh, in relief!

Here’s The Letter Singing Group Mumazee Wrote PSquare that is Making Everyone Cry

Check Out The Letter Singing Group Mumazee Wrote PSquare that is Making Everyone Cry
Last night, singing group Mumazee, twins themselves, took to their Instagram page to write Peter and Paul Okoye of P-Square a message.
Though P-Square yesterday reconciled their issues, Mumazee’s message extends beyond this as they reminded their counterparts about what it means to be ‘twins.’
“They fail to see the big picture, that this fight is not about who is right or wrong, nor about who is better or worse, or who is Peter or Paul but about Psquare,” Mumazeee writes, adding, “their love for each other, their twinship, their oneness as twin with the same umbilical cord, their faith, their hope, their immediate family, and finally their case and problem as a case study to judge all twins.”
“They fail to understand that it became a twin affair when God found them worthy to bless them together as twins and not Peter or Paul but Psquare,” the powerful message said.
For the Okoye brothers, they seem to be on the path of recovery. Yesterday, Peter Okoye was forced to lash out at a fan who thought to win him over by insulting Jude Okoye. “Watch your mouth, bro,” Peter told that fan, adding, “get the fuck out!”
Well, will the Okoye brothers fully accept Mumazee’s deeply emotional letter?
See Mumazee’s full note here:
“Today we speak about our fears and worries for our brothers from another mother Psquare. Every time people see us it has now become a cat phrase, MamuZEE una self go soon break up, MamuZEE make una nor let money or woman break una like Psquare ooh!
Comedians now make an emotionally disturbing story like this a mockery and a big joke, to sell how funny they are, we have become a laughing stock, a topic of joke, fun and games for the world to laugh at, because our brothers, friends and fellow twin fail to see the big picture, that this fight is not about who is right or wrong, nor about who is better or worse, or who is Peter or Paul but about Psquare, their love for each other, their twinship, their oneness as twin with the same umbilical cord, their faith, their hope, their immediate family, and finally their case and problem as a case study to judge all twins. They fail to understand that it became a twin affair when God found them worthy to bless them together as twins and not Peter or Paul but Psquare.
My dearest brothers all this unhealthy talks and thoughts must be put to a stop now or else u guys will sell the love and bound to the devil at a very cheap price, u guys will distribute ur wealth and fame in the ocean of disgrace, u guys will subject ur children and ur parents memory to shame. In all, know this fact that, sometimes in life u don’t always have to think u are right or feel u are perfect or need a plan, u just breath, trust God, let go and see what happens. We have always believed that it’s better to be a king with ur silence, than a slave with ur words.
Today we speak not as fellow musicians or friends but as twin and brothers, nobody needs to call heaven to remind ur parents about who is wrong or right, cuz the last time we checked Mr and Mrs Okoye was and is proud about their TwiN sons and their achievements.
Heaven knows how we feel about this and how it has given us and every multiple birth concerned, sleepless nights, please my brothers, we love and plead with u to put a stop to this and forget about everything and everyone and remember who u guys are, Twin.”

Kardashian sisters, Kim, Khloe, Kourtney sued over beauty line

The stunning sisters have been slammed with $200m lawsuit over their beauty line. TMZ reports below
Kim, Khloe and Kourtney could be on the hook for more than $200 million for not tweeting about their own makeup line … this according to a new lawsuit.
Hillair Capital Management claims it ponied up more than $10 million to save the Kardashian sisters’ struggling cosmetics line, “Kardashian Beauty” … after their former business partner went belly up.
As we previously reported, the Kardashians originally partnered up with a company called Boldface in 2012, launching a makeup line called “Khroma Beauty.”
Problem was … a year later, a judge blocked the company from using the name “Khroma.” The girls changed the name to “Kardashian Beauty,” but Boldface started tanking.
A savior stepped in … Hillair Capital Management, buying out Boldface and sinking $10 mil into the business. Hillair now claims the Kardashian girls didn’t hold up their end of the bargain by blasting out the virtues of “Kardashian Beauty” to their millions of followers.
Hillair wants its $10 mil back plus what they would have made … up to $180 mil

Meet 19 years old, Nigerian Super Model and Actress Namia Roberts (Must See Photos)

VL: Hello Namia Roberts
Hi, thanks for having me
VL: Who is Namia Roberts?
I am a 19years student, model and actress, I was born and raised in Nigeria along side 3 siblings. I’m currently rounding up my university education in London. And I like to describe myself as an all round entertainer.
VL: How did you discover your talent and what inspired you?
Everything came naturally to me. For modelling, i have always loved taking pictures and posing since I can remember, growing up my relatives used to call me model as a nick name. I remember always watching the delta soap advert and praying I could do that one day. So when I was 13 I took a trip to New York with my family and everyone kept telling me I should be a model, that I have the body for it and it was great because it was coming from total strangers, I even had a woman ask me to model for her but my mum declined. And that was what fuelled my passion for modelling.
IMG_0889
VL: And Acting?
Acting was quite similar, I used to force my sister to play drama with me as a child. I always watched Genevieve and Oge Okoye movies growing up and even though I didn’t understand the concept of acting fully, or that you even got paid for it, I knew I wanted to do that.
VL: What have you been up to?
Right now, I’m working on my website, I am about to relaunch it. And I am also shooting a couple of films, my first film project so I’m very excited!
VL: As a model what where the major challenges you faced when you started and how did your overcome those challenges?
Uhm, I am really shy! So when I first started modelling I was really shy infront of the camera and my pictures never looked natural, you could tell I was forcing it. So I had to work on that. Also finding the right agency was a hassle for me because I’m very picky and since I didn’t have any guidance I wanted to make sure I was picking the best agency that would represent me properly in the long run.
IMG_0888
VL How did the breakthrough come?
I have been modelling professional since 2012, but I got my big break in 2015, after I modelled for a London based stylist. The pictures went…viral? would I say? and my phone hasn’t stopped ringing ever since. For acting I don’t think I’ve had my break through yet.
VL: Tell us something that the media doesn’t know about you up until now?
I am introvert. I’d rather stay home and read a book or watch TV than go out any day.
VL: What is your ideal definition of fashion?
To me fashion is a way to express yourself with clothes. A persons style can tell you a lot about them before you even speak to them.
VL: List Your favourite fashion designers
My favourite designer of all time is Louis Vuitton because it’s simply timeless. I also love Alice and Olivia, Oscar De La Renta, Hermes, Victoria Beckham, Salvatore Ferragamo and kurt Geiger.
VL: Who is your fashion icon?
Coco Chanel and myself
VL: How would you describe your personal style?
I have a very preppy and classy style. I am very girly so heels and bags are my favourite accessories.
VL: What is your philosophy towards life?
My philosophy towards life is you have to fall seven times to get up eight times. I believe whatever is yours will always be yours and whatever isn’t will never be yours. And the harder you work the luckier you get, so no matter what life throws at you, you should always keep your head up and never give up.
VL: Who are the kind of people that influences you?
I am influenced by young go getters like myself. I love when people push through boundaries and succeed. I don’t believe in being satisfied with what people think you should be satisfied with. I mean who says the sky is the limit when they are foot prints on the moon right?
VL: How do you make your daily decisions?
First, I pray. And I have learnt to always follow my heart. I listen to people’s criticism and opinions but I always make sure I’m making my decisions based on what I want and what’s best for me.
IMG_0887
VL: How do you manage to stay focus in achieving your goals?
I always try to remember why I started doing this in the first place, which is because I love it and it makes me happy. So I never want to lose sight of this happiness. Also I know what I can achieve if I stay focused on my goals, and I don’t want to mess my future up for any reason.
VL: What are your future plans?
First, I plan to finish school and then go into acting full time. I also plan to have my film production company and to help build the Nollywood industry, because Nollywood is where it all began for me and I hope to be able to inspire some little girl to chase her dreams the way it inspired me to chase mine.
VL: Final Note
Always stay true to yourself. Remember your values and never lose sight of your goal.
VL: It was nice having you namia roberts
It was lovely being here, Thank you for having me again.
