King Lawrence's saga with socialites Zari Hassan and Huddah Monroe is getting hotter... as he  has vowed to always hit it, hard, over and over again — because the two most famous socialites in East Africa want money and he's got plenty of it.

This is what he posted replying to hoddah's instagram message and zari re-post..

"Bitch you attacked me from nowhere and now you delete all the posts. You wanted a car, helped you fulfill your dream and then you repay me by dissing me. Broke bitch cant attack me. Zari advised you wrongly. She is jelousy of you bse you are younger and more beautiful. Thats why she advised you to attack me. Ok guys think about this, do u think these so called BossBitches buy business class tickets to fly abroad, book into expensive hotels and take pics of hotels beds themselves? Can they even afford all this? Do they sleep in those beds alone? We are the ones who pay for all that. We are the behind the scenes funders. Do we do it for free? Not at all. How do get paid? Then you two Broke BossBitches gang on me. Im sorry I used both of you. All your fans just see nice photos in good locations but don't know what you gals go through to achieve all that. You arent role models, you are just Instagram Bitches."

Huddah asked him to share to the public, the official documents of the purchase for the Range Rover to prove that he bought it for her but seems like king has not responded to that yet.

It's unlikely that Amber Rose wants to show his ex-husband Wiz Khalifa what he's really missing by posting a set of sexy selfie on instagram.

The photos emphasized her pneumatic chest and tiny waist sending her male fans into a spin

Amber Rose who dumped rapper Wiz Khalifa after just one year of marriage as he was cheating on her.

Have a look at the selfies she posted on Instagram

Well, Believe it or not — But, science has confirmed that men who take lots of selfies are a bit… different. They are more likely to be psychopaths

Men who use Instagram-style filters to add that certain ‘je ne said quoi’ to their snaps are the most extreme.

The study at Ohio State University found that men who post endless selfies were more likely to have certain, ah, unwanted mental traits, such as psychopathic behaviour.

People who used filters to edit shots scored even higher for anti-social behaviour such as narcissism, an obsession with one’s own appearance.

What this suggests about the mental health of many of our favourite celebrities, we can only speculate.

Psychologists from the University of Ohio sampled 800 men aged 18 to 40 about their photo-posting habits on social media.

As well as questionnaires to test their levels of vanity, they were also asked if they edited their photos by cropping them or adding a filter.

Assistant Professor Jesse Fox, lead author of the study at The Ohio State University, said: ‘It’s not surprising that men who post a lot of selfies and spend more time editing them are more narcissistic, but this is the first time it has actually been confirmed in a study.

‘The more interesting finding is that they also score higher on this other anti-social personality trait, psychopathy, and are more prone to self-objectification.

‘Most people don’t think that men even do that sort of thing, but they definitely do.’
Professor Fox said: ‘Psychopathy is characterised by impulsivity.

‘They are going to snap the photos and put them online right away. They want to see themselves. They don’t want to spend time editing.’

Seems like Someone has definitely made Davido in a bad mood today.

The 22-year-old HKN music star today posted on his official Twitter page to express his anger at an unknown person.

This is what He tweeted:

— Davido (@iam_Davido) January 6, 2015

Niggas forget who helped them ..... So quick .... God don bless me I do my thing dey go keep my name out ur mouth !! WHO U DON HELP IDIOT!
— Davido (@iam_Davido) January 6, 2015

Its not confirmed to whom that tweet is directed to and no ones knows who is targeted.

It might be Diamond Platnumz as they are now not in a good relationship as it seems like Davido is not happy about Diamonds success and he was not recognized as part of the people who made diamond famous by making my number one remix with him.

"Niggas forget who helped them ..... So quick .... " Does he refering to someone else..? May be yes or no

Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, January 5th 2015 - He goes by the name of Hussein Idd, an Information technology graduate at Learn IT. His passion for IT did not end at university level; it went all the way to opening a business in the year 2010: Jay's Infonet Solutions, where he sells electronics and accessories such as laptops, cell-phones, hard drives, flash disks, etc.

Today, Hussein sells his electronics and other accessories through Kaymu, a company he feels that can help other people like himself.

“I decided to do business online first with the influence of Kaymu, after brainstorming with my closest friends I felt there was a need to also serve people who weren't able to shop physically - either they are too busy or they simply enjoy buying online with the items being delivered to their home without the trouble to come all the way to the shop, so the only way to do this was to sell online.”

Hussein explains how selling online can save time and money, and how it can help buyers and sellers in a very positive way, and offer safe and convenient payment solutions.

“Kaymu helped me move to a different level in terms of business growth, and it’s given me the chance to do that without a lot of effort or investment,” Hussein continues. “You should just put thought into what you want to sell on Kaymu - especially fast moving products that people use on a daily basis, that’s really important but I’m convinced that if you have the right product, selling on Kaymu can work wonders for your business.”


He describes his first meeting with Kaymu where a company representative came to his office and explained how the platform worked." I was actually surprised when they first started talking about Kaymu because I never thought any company in Tanzania could offer this kind of platform." He continues, "I did not hesitate joining because I fully understood what kind of impact it could bring to my business."

With internet access becoming more affordable and faster, e-commerce in Tanzania has grown dramatically over the past two years.

"It has been very positive since I established myself and it proved to be successful as my sales increased and I became well known in this platform . It's an interesting adventure I'm taking and really looking forward to bringing in variety of other electronics and services in the near future."

He describes e-commerce as Tanzania's future of which he is proud to be part of. He says " I'm happy to be one of the few in the country who will proudly lead the line towards bridging the digital divide in Tanzania", as the economy continues to grow technology grows as well, the dependence rate on traditional retail will eventually drop immensely.
He concludes by explaining how he forecasts his business will eventually be in the next 5 years. He feels that with the help of using the Kaymu platform his business will dramatically grow, "I see my business going to new heights, this industry is on the rise and I want my shop to be one of the best that's ever been in this marketplace.”

After the release of  iPhone 6, which is a larger phone in order to compete with Samsung, HTC, Sony, Techno and other brands who were rising in the market because of their larger phones. Now Apple claimed a smaller phone was preferable because users could reach the whole screen during one-handed use.

More and more reports claim that Apple will not simply abandon smaller iPhones now that it’s launched the bigger iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, which have both been massive successes for the company. Instead of simply keeping the “old” iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s as part of its iPhone lineup, the company is expected to launch a brand new 4-inch iPhone part of the iPhone 6 (or iPhone 6s) family later this year.

The most recent such report comes from U.S. investment firm Zacks Equity Research, according to MyDrivers, which says that Apple is being “forced” by continued interest in smaller iPhones to launch a new 4-inch iPhone 6 handset for 2015.

The company reportedly wants to sell at least 10 million iPhone 6s minis this year and the smaller device is expected to be significantly cheaper than the regular iPhone 6 models.

Its believed that Apple is going to launch a 4-inch iPhone 6s mini in 2015, alongside corresponding 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch iPhone 6s models.

Whats your  opinion on this is it a good move or huge no-brainer for Apple

Diamond platnumz criticised by Rwandan artists over his comments that Rwanda artistes are not doing enough to market their music beyond Rwandan borders

Rwandan Rapper, Jay Polly who in the middle of his performance criticized Diamond platnumz for his  comments at a press conference were he said that Rwanda artistes are not doing enough to market their music beyond Rwandan borders.

The PGGSS 4 winner did not seem impressed by Diamond’s comments, stating that Rwandan music is going in the right direction and that it is quite disrespectful for a visiting artiste to come and belittle what has been done in recent years.

Jay Polly (R) and other local artists

“There is a visiting artiste who will be performing here. I heard in the news that he said that Rwandan artistes don’t know what they are doing. How true is that? Do you agree with him? How is it possible that we do not know what we are doing?” an unimpressed Jay Polly asked the crowd.

“Rwandan music is here to stay. We will take it to the desired levels but seeing where we are today, no one has the right to say that we do not know what we are doing,” the rapper added.

Unlike other artistes who decided to humbly take Diamond’s advice, Jay Polly spoke out but most fans would later agree with the Tanzanian, as he put up a show that separated him from his local compatriots.

“It is clear that Diamond’s performance stood out and it was a class act compared to earlier performances,” said Nina Uwase, one of the show goers.

In fact, some musicians had to swallow the bitter truth and join the crowd to cheer on Diamond as he put up a spectacular performance, which perhaps made Jay Polly think twice about his earlier remarks.

Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC) is proposing new salaries and allowances that would make even its middle-level employees the envy of some of the highest remunerated Tanzanian chief executive officers.

Documents seen by The Citizen show that TPDC wants its lowest paid office attendants and drivers to earn Sh5.4 million and the topmost CEO Sh36 million every month.

Middle level cadres and managers will be paid between Sh12.6 million to Sh28 million, if the proposals filed with the Energy and Water Regulatory Authority (Ewura) are approved.

Besides than the ceiling breaking salaries, the public agency has budgeted billions of shillings in staff bonuses, sitting, training, responsibility and utility, mileage, insurance allowances and many more perks for the employees who would become the highest paid public workers in the country.

 TPDC filed the proposals in September under a business plan for the processing and transportation of liquefied gas from Mtwara to Dar es Salaam. The agency has defended the perks on grounds that they were applicable in the lucrative gas and oil sector.

But the proposals have been strongly objected to by the Ewura Consumer Consultative Council that has termed the payments “outrageous and unrealistic.”

The council has filed its objection with Ewura too as required under law to allow for public consultations. It has argued that the plan by TPDC would lead to a tariff dispute as the unchecked expenses are likely to result in a higher and expensive tariff out of reach for a majority Tanzanians and local businesses.




The expenditure plan would raise suspicions as the open public forums to discuss the tariff proposal by TPDC were not publicized as others before it and the addendums containing the huge perks were not circulated to stakeholders.

 Yesterday, The Citizen learnt that the TPDC plan was raising quite some concern in both public and private sector circles. It was being viewed as an example of public gluttony that could sabotage benefits that may accrue to the larger public from the gas resource.

Efforts to contact the management to shed more light were fruitless by the time of filing this report.   

Speaking to The Citizen, Ewura communications manager, Mr Titus Kaguo, said the hearing session for the application was conducted earlier this month, and that the regulator was still working on the financial implication of the proposals before making a decision.

In the TPDC letter signed by its marketing director Ms Joyce Kisamo, TPDC requests the regulator to approve a tariff of  $4.178/mmBtu (Sh714/mmBtu). In the letter dated September 1, TPDC indicates that the planned commencement of the project for natural gas transportation and processing is January 1, 2015.

In its application, TPDC proposes hefty allowances to board members and employees on special duties at a minimum annual budget of Sh150 million and a maximum of Sh3 billion.
