I am here today and tomorrow I am there, talking to them on the phone and all. As for my wife, Adjoa, I think she is going through a lot but I can see she is a strong woman. I mean she has been used to me always being around and more like overnight everything changed. She is very understanding and it is amazing. I mean there are times where I get to Ghana today and I am on another flight the same day or the next day. God knew my destiny and just gave me the perfect one."

Alexandra and the governor interesting title for a book wouldn't you say? Interesting enough, her so called high school mates have created a group on face book about her too

picture by getty images Naija's own Aliko Dangote has been listed on forbes BILLIONAIRE'S LIST (number 334) with 3.3 billion dollars! May I say that is a first for west africa. Usually you hear only about South Africa etc. This is certainly a great moment. According to Forbes, Source: sugar, flour, cement manufacturing Net Worth: $3.3 bil Country Of Citizenship: Nigeria Residence: Lagos , Nigeria, Middle East & Africa Industry: Diversified Marital Status: NA, Education: NA Nigeria's first billionaire hit the jackpot when his sugar-production company listed on the Nigerian stock exchange last year. Meanwhile, proposed initial public offerings of his flour and cement companies have stalled. Began career as trader at 21 with loan from his uncle; built his Dangote Group into conglomerate with interests in sugar, flour milling, salt processing, cement manufacturing, textiles, real estate, haulage and oil and gas. Not bad uh? What do you say readers? Are you inspired?

Okay guys here he is 23 year old, Mr Mark Zuckerberg; unless you have been living under a rock or something, the name should certainly ring a bell! Well according to Valleywag , my favorite all time read. Yes I love the valley and love geeky gossip as well as fashion, "Number 785 on the Forbes Billionaires list is one Mark Zuckerberg. Forbes estimates his net worth at $1.5 billion -- a far cry from the $5 billion we pegged him at last year -- but still a nice chunk of change. (We've since learned the actual number is $4 billion; he owns 27 percent of Facebook.) The mag notes that "some analysts -- and even a few Facebook investors -- suggest the company's value is far lower." Even with that proviso, Zuck still ranks as the youngest billionaire in the world and "possibly the youngest self-made billionaire ever." Damn. I can't wait for the call from my mother -- "Mark Zuckerberg is worth a billion dollars. What are you doing with your life?"...

Okay unless you have been living under a rock or you have been too preoccupied with things going on in your life, you have probably heard of OPRAH'S NEW SHOW called OPRAHS BIG GIVE. Well here is how it works out on the show: First things first, you have to raise money to support someone in need within five days. Be it to pay of their student loan totaling $206000, or to pay off the mortgage of a widowed young lady. Segun "Sheg" for short, partnered with another lady for his first task and they came up with a not so hot fashion show to raise money for the medical student whose loans totaled 206000 dollars! yes you heard empower local surgeons to want to give back," Sheg says.

I usually would not discuss medical issues on naijagal. This however was of grave concern to me and that is a lot of homes in Naija are built with Abestos. Now reading the article below by Derek Both got me wondering. Could this be the reason for the high incident of cancer in Naija. Mesothelioma can develop after exposure to asbestos "Asbestos exposure can lead to a number of lung diseases including asbestosis, pleural fibrosis and lung cancer. Asbestosis results in widespread scarring of the lungs and can leave victims short of breath and more likely to develop lung cancer. Pleural fibrosis causes inflammation, hardening and thickening of the lining of the lung tissue but has a number of symptoms so can be fairly straightforward to diagnose. The other type of lung disease that can develop after asbestos exposure is asbestos lung cancer. This can affect either the internal portions of the lungs or the outer lining. Although it is impossible to determine the exact figure for the ...

Oh my goodness, Naija foreign affairs minister is mentioned! Hilary made a suprise entrance. Maybe they should have asked any thoughts on ABESTOS in Africa?
