Source :  Getty Images In the realm of American sprinting, few stories are as compelling as that of Cravont Charleston.  Emerging from relative obscurity, Charleston clinched the 100m title at the 2023 USA Track and Field Championships, marking a significant milestone in his athletic career.  ​ A Meteoric Rise Born in Charlotte, North Carolina, Charleston's journey to the pinnacle of U.S. sprinting was unconventional.   Unlike many of his contemporaries, he never reached an NCAA final during his collegiate years.   However, under the mentorship of Allen Johnson—a 1996 Olympic gold medalist in the 110m hurdles—Charleston honed his craft.   His dedication culminated in a stunning victory at the 2023 USATF Championships, where he clocked 9.95 seconds, narrowly defeating former world champion Christian Coleman.  ​ Reflecting on his achievement, Charleston credited his support system:  "My family knew, my coach knew, teammates—they all knew.

The Bride: Kelechi (‘Kecci’) The Groom: Sander The Date: Easter Sunday, March 31, 2013 The Location: Umuagwo Eziudo, Imo State. This girl is golden. I think she has quality. See a crowd of, maybe, grooms sisters, or cousins, or friends moving down to this poor house to marry her. No opposition. Igbo ladies have quality. Kudos sweetheart. It is  character and worth. Some ladies i know who never moved close to Benin Republic will be more British than Margret Thatcher. See a true daughter drawing down a full house of white ladies to her father's poor village house. This lady is a real gold.

Ten candidates scored 300 marks and above, while 127,017 candidates scored between 1-159...

Since the Kokomaster, D'banj, made a public confession that he's still single and looking for a good woman to make his wife, Olufamous reliably gathered that actress Genevieve Nnaji has been making frantic efforts to get back into the arms of the super star. My source, who is an insider in D'banj's camp, said Genevieve and D'banj never really had a quarrel but that she was complaining too much because of the many ladies around him. D'banj, he said, got tired of her drama and simply ignored her. Now she wants to come back by all means... Genny just clocked 34 and its obvious she can't just settle with any guy from the street corner; her man has to be someone with some level of class. I hear she made contacts with D'banj at least three times in the last days of April but D'banj is still having some reservations. One of his concerns, the source told Olufamous, is that Genny is too nosy and always wants to know everything going on. D'banj ...

                               Justin Bieber stopped his concert in Istanbul, Turkey on Thursday night during the Muslim call to prayer. According to E! Online, Bieber paused his show at Istanbul's sold-out Technical University sports arena to allow for audience members to pray (a practice Muslims observe five times daily). Bieber's gesture was met with many positive notices on Twitter.      The goodwill Bieber engendered by pausing the show helped offset some of the trouble he and his entourage reportedly got into earlier on Thursday at Istanbul’s Sabiha Gökçen Airport. According to ABC News, Bieber and his crew did not present any of their travel documents to security officials as they left the airport. As a result, Bieber was checked by security outside of Sabiha Gökçen Airport and allowed to go on his way. Bieber's current tour has not been without some controversy. His planned...

While some are crying for food, some have more than enough to even throw to the bin One of the people who have more than enough is a married Abuja based artist, Mrs. Regina Adeola, popularly called Gina, who allegedly said to have paid a whopping $85,000 as surgery fee to have her lips restructured to be like the American super actress, Angelina Jolie’s.   With this new development, no doubt, the lifestyle of entertainers in Nigeria, has massively taken a new turn. These new generation artistes imbibing all sorts of habits from their fellow American counterpart and the plastic surgery which was popularized by American celebrities seems to be the in-thing for these our Nigerian celebrities these days. However, whatever that is done under the sun must always come to light, no matter how perfectly orchestrated and concealed, that is the case of the not too sexy singer. Strong facts surfaced earlier this week, indicating that the lips of Abuja Based Pop-tar Mrs. Re...

Photo: Wool & Prince     Six months ago, Wool & Prince founder Mac Bishop and his friends Katie Elks and Mike Major set out to make a better, longer-lasting button-down shirt.
