My Favourite Blogs!

On my daily tour ( Yes everyday I do a 10 sites roundup to the least):
  • TMZ : What would be my life without Harvey Levine? lol
  • Bossip :  Watch out for viruses my sister knows something about it...
  • Mediatakeout:  It is THE black gossip blog ... I just wish  sometime they would be less ghetto... I guess that's also why I lik'em...
  • Camfoot**: Because i'm Cameroonian and I like Soccer!! They have daily updates on Cameroonian soccer and players from around the globe inclding the local as in back home MTN championship... For true Football fans.. the comments are priceless... If you don't know any there is nothing like and angry african and when it comes to snide and smart comments in french or english there is nothing like a Cameroonian!
  • Cameroon-info.Net** : Again don't even read the articles jump straight to the comments section although they often turn into tribalist or anti-french rants half the time you will be rolling on the floor laughing... But it is one good cameroonian information website.
  • Bellanaija.com: It is a nigerian blog turned website that is focused on arts and culture. I think that nigerian culture has been very underrated for a long time and they are coming back with a vengeance! If you could just click on the link you'd see exactly what I'm talking about... From music to movies and fashion there is really a lot to be said and discovered. Sometimes you get free downloads how's that for perks?
  • Linda ikeji : There are thousands of nigerian blogs on the web but Linda ikeji's is by far one of my favourites. She is about my age 29! Yeah (wink wink) unpretentious, relatable and a yound entrepreneur... her blog is half way between a diary and a gossip column...
  • Kilon Sparkles ? : His blog is very personal, I feel a bit intimate...
  • Stella Dimoko Korkus:  She's been Stella's Groove, Stella's New Groove, Ofolofofo, and I don't know what... this is not a blog that I visit everyday but more like once every other week because it is not always updated... What I love about this blog is that it is acidic: This may explain why her blog had been shut down quite a few times to reborn under new grooves every other time. I love that she does not hide behind flattery and calls out every one.
  • The Fashionalists ***: This is one of the best fashion blogs out of Belgium it's ran by two young people in love with street fashion and armed with a camera... It's trendy, clean and quite sexy. upon their first year on the web they have already earned recognitions from their peers and the prestigious ELLE Magazine Belgium edition... I wish them good luck!!
  • Africahit.com ** : It's definitely the most comprehensive West African entertainment website. It's one of my favourite because there are not a lot of internet presence for Francophone African culture. And not only do they manage to really cover that (the gossip as well) they also reach out to the anglophone side which is great! Plus it is regularly updated (almost daily) and you can also get really cool downloads. Nothing like free music!
  • Grioo.com *** : Grioo is like a melting pot of all that interest the black diaspora of metropolitan France. It is politics, culture and sport for the black community in france... Sometimes they tend to go people which makes me grinch but overall A for effort in a community that is not so web...
  • Camer-sport.be***: Its ca Cameroonian sport website out of belgium. they are updated daily but th writing is poor and sometimes opinions and facts can't be told appart.
  • Nollywood Uncut : It's a Nollywood specialty webzine. Their  updates are random and they mostly cover events with few interviews... I'm a nollywood buff .
  • Online Nigeria : Do I need to say more? it has the perk of a very elaborated movie gallery when you click on videos and you'll quickly find out that it has a Ghanaian counterpart named Ghana Nation .
  • TV5 Monde+ Afrique ***: This is where I go to preserve my french. They have a good library of quality African Francophone movies, documentaries and TV shows for the homesick.. delightful you can also watch the news... How about that?
  • Rue89*** : If you are an angry lefty French, loving conspiracy theories this is the place for you.
*** content in French Exclusively!
** Some alternates French and English without steady patterns..
