Nollywood actress, Nuella Njubigbo, moves in with married Movie Producer, Tchidi Chikere

    Nuella,Tchidi and Sophia

According to SDK, the couple who moved in barely a few months ago are still decorating their new home.

See her report below:

"A few weeks ago, Tchidi was at The palms Lekki where he visited a furniture shop to make purchases for his new home and he has also become a regular caller there as the house is still being given some interior finishing touches.

It is no longer news that one of the most sizzling romance rocking the movie industry is that of top movie producer Tchidi Tchikere and fast rising actress Nuella Njubigbo. Their love affair was one of the most controversial that rocked the industry a few years ago, when the actress stormed  Nollywood and instantly rose to stardom."

The top producer who was married to a pretty actress Sophia and with whom he has three boys, was said to have at one point, ended his marriage to the actress on account of his new romance with Nuella.

 Its no doubt that she made it in Nollywood with the help of the popular producer but the actress constantly denied this. The affair became an open secret when the producer ended his over six year old marriage through a press release he made back then.

The two lovebirds were rumoured to be at the verge of taking their romance to another level, which may have necessitated his actions. I reported that the actress was pregnant for him sometime last year but they both denied vehemently in several interviews granted.

Sources however revealed that they are indeed still together and presently having the best of times. Nuella who recently passed out of NYSC  has moved out of her Okota family home into a new house with the producer at Graceland estate, Ajah.

Kim & Kanye engaged. See Kim's 15-carat engagement diamond ring

It's official. Kim and Kanye are engaged! Kanye West proposed to his babymama Kim K on her 33rd birthday last night October 21 at San Francisco's AT&T Park where the family was celebrating her day. Kanye, who had first asked Kris Jenner for permission to marry her daughter and gotten her approval, surprised the birthday girl by getting down on one knee in front of her family and friends and proposed with a flawless 15-carat diamond ring designed by jeweler, Lorraine Schwartz.

Kanye also used the field's jumbo screen to flash a "Pleease Marry Meee!!!" sign. It was a romantic evening as an orchestra played afterwards, with fireworks and roman candles exploding into the night sky. The stadium, which is home to the San Francisco Giants, was completely empty except for Kardashian close friends and family members (Hopefully it was captured for Keeping Up With The Kardashian show so we can watch) See the 'Please Marry Me' sign after the cut...

I Wept When I Was Denied Visa, But Today I'm Best Graduating Student In Nigeria

Her name is Boluwatife Oyekan, she wanted to leave Nigeria and seek for a better life elsewhere but efforts in that regards failed as she was denied a Canadian Visa. About 5 years down the line, Boluwatife emerged the best graduating student of Caleb University, Lagos.

For Boluwatife Oyekan, achieving a first class grade is the fruit of a lot of sacrifice and self-denial:

“I never gave room for any distraction. One, I did not get involved in any amorous affair with the opposite sex. Again, I developed a workable reading time table for myself; and I kept to it."

She was the cynosure of all eyes at the institution’s third convocation ceremony held at its multipurpose hall, according to Punch's Samuel Awoyinfa.

According to her, she avoided distractions on the campus, including having any romantic affair with any boy or men, attending parties and succumbing to peer pressure to indulge in frivolities.

She says, “Essentially, it is the way you are dressed that people will address you. I kept to the doctrine of my church: the Deeper Life Bible Church. I never wore any skimpy dress. In fact, I never wore earrings. So, no boy ever came to me to say, ‘Bolu, I want to date you.”

Apart from being the best graduating student, Boluwatife, who scored a Cumulative Grade Point Average of 4.75, also got other cash awards for being the best graduating student in her department, College of Pure and Applied Science. She is also the most outstanding student.

The 21yrs old graduate of Industrial Chemistry says the counselling she got from the Dean of her department, Prof. Olukayode Ajayi, also helped her a great deal. She explains that Ajayi, who counselled her on her first day in the school, told her about his own undergraduate days and how he managed his time.

She says, “He told me never to pile up my dirty clothes but to wash them as they got dirty. While others were washing their own piles of dirty clothes on Saturday, I was free from such. So, I usually headed for the academic block, where I would bury myself in my books, reading.

“The dean also advised me on how to read my notes. He said when a lecturer gives the first lecture and gives a note, I should read it. When the lecturer gives the second one, I should read it over and then go back to the first one and also read. So, on and on, that was how I pursued my study.”

She adds, “I was offered admission to read Medicine. But the Canadian Embassy refused to give me visa, giving an excuse that I was not a bonafide student. I wept and almost became inconsolable. But now I believe it was God who did not want me to travel abroad then.

“Then, though I was attending a church, I was not God-fearing. It was while I was in Caleb University that I really moved closer to God, and I thank all those numerous people who came and preached at the school chapel throughout my stay there.”

Boluwatife is the fourth of Mr. and Mrs. Olusegun Oyekan’s six children. The mother is a nurse while the father works with an electrical company.

Inspiring: Female Without Both Hands Made Her Dreams Come True ( Must Read)

A true story of a young woman who having lost her hands, didn't give up and made her dreams come true.

It was September 25, 2000. Maricel Apatan was an 11-year old girl in Zamboanga. On that day, this little girl went with her uncle to draw water.

On their way they met 4 men carrying long knives. They forced the girl's uncle to face down on the ground, hacked him on the neck and killed him.

Continue..............

Maricel was shocked, especially because of the fact that the men were their neighbors. She tried to escape, but the men followed her.

The girl was begging them not to kill her, but they were not listening. With a long knife, a man slashed her on the neck too.

Maricel fell to the ground and lost consciousness. When she woke up, she saw a lot of blood. She also saw the feet of the men around her, but she pretended to be dead.

As soon as they walked away, the little girl ran back home. But along the way, she saw that both her hands were falling off. Because the men hacked them too. She cried but she kept running.

She would fall and get up again in order to reach home.

Maricel finally made it. When the girl's mother saw her, she was terrified. She wrapped her bloodied child in a blanket and ran to the hospital.

The hospital was 12 km away from their house and it took 4 hours only to reach the highway.

The doctors were that the girl would. The surgery lasted 5 hours. It took 25 stitches to stitch together the long knife wound in her neck and back.

Maricel survived, but she lost both of her hands.

But the family tragedy was not over yet. When they got back home, they saw their it was gone. It was ransacked and burned down by the goons.

Being very poor, Maricel’s family couldn't pay for their hospital bills.

It was God who sent many angels along the way to help them.

A distant relative paid for hospital bills and helped them persecute the criminals. They were sentenced to prison.

Today, Maricel is staying with the nuns at Regina Rosarii with Sr. Eppie Brasil, O.P.

But this is the incredible miracle. Instead of staying down, Maricel kept running.

Instead of cursing God for not having hands, she now uses her wrists in incredible ways you will never believe in.

Maricel was cited as the most industrious, best in computer, and most courteous in the School for Crippled Children.

In 2008, she graduated from a course in Hotel and Restaurant Management with a Gold medal for Arts and Crafts.

In 2011, she finished her education to be a chef. Chef without hands.

Nothing can stop this young lady from making her dreams come true. True winners don't give up.

"My stature created so many opportunities for me" Pawpaw tells it all in new interview

One of the favourite faces in Nollywood, Osita Iheme, popularly known as Pawpaw, in a recent interview cleared the air on his relationship with Goodluck Jonathan, Nigeria’s entertainment industry and his life as a bachelor. See excerpts below:

You are one of the favourite faces in the Nollywood, but recently, it seems you have diverted a title bit or kept a low profile. What really prompted this?

No, I don’t think so. What do you mean by I kept a low profile? That shows you have not fully been following the movie. Have you been to Alaba for a while now? (…laughs) Maybe you have not been watching some movies lately.

Do you ever query your mum why you have this stature?

Why should I do that, my parents are not God. I don’t have to worry her over that. I believe if she knows, she might have tried to do something about it. I know she must have been furious about it when she discovered that I am of small stature, but I feel good because what is supposed to be a burden to her and the entire family is now a blessing. I am happy and my family is happy as well.

How has this name and stature brought you fame?

I thank God in every situation and place I found myself.  The moment I discovered that this is the way I am, I asked myself what was the next thing to do, but the spirit in me said I should remain focused. The secret is that I don’t see myself as short until when people draw my attention to it. I have come to realise that it is not by size and it requires that I will definitely get my own portion. It is always good to know who you are and where you are coming from. Some people don’t really know who they are and it is good to communicate with God to discover yourself. If you don’t have a close relationship with Him, you won’t be able to identify who you really are. You need to see yourself as an important personality. Being a peculiar person attracts people to me and I have never looked inferior due to my stature, it has rather turned my disability into ‘This ability’ and it has helped me a lot. I give thanks to God for giving me this wisdom that enabled me to think on what to do at the right time. Opportunity is like a boy without a parent or guardian; it means you can jam it anywhere, especially when you come out from your comfort zone. My look or stature created so many opportunities for me.

The emergence of Aki and Pawpaw gave the movie industry a new face, both of you usually command attention, it even got to a stage movie is not complete without showcasing Aki and Pawpaw. What do you feel with this development?

No doubt, Aki and Pawpaw gave the Nollywood another name because of the peculiar nature of the actors coming together in the movie world. Our coming together in the industry created another perception of how people view and relate with people with a small stature. We came to break the barrier and correct the wrong impression and stigma placed on us. We were able to state clear that no matter your disability, you can still make it in your life time. You have the right to do what you wish irrespective of your environment or discriminations. And with the grace of God, we did it and through this, we have been able to educate a lot of people.

But it seems the intimacy is not what it used to be, considering the rumour doing the rounds that Aki had dumped you for his wife. What do you see to this?

Getting married is not a big deal. It is a good move for a man to wake up one morning and say he wants to get married. I don’t think we will have any barrier in our closeness or relationship. I don’t know why the rumour is doing the rounds that we have parted ways. You know people like to make news out of what is not. If we were not in good terms, would I be his best man?

But you guys no longer live together as before?

Yes. We were living together before, but we had to re-adjust our bachelor life since he is married. As a matter of fact, we visit each other.

How did you feel when that woman suddenly came to snatch him away from you?

A bachelor must have it at the back of his mind that one day a woman will come in and take charge of the house.

Considering the intimacy, people thought you guys would also make a record by knotting the tie same day?

(…Laughs) God has a way of doing things and since God wants it that way it will definitely happen.

It seems you are enjoying your bachelor life?

I am enjoying my life. You know everyone has the right to enjoy life, either bachelor or not, that is why we are here.

People, especially your fans, can’t wait to see you get married?

It is a good thing. I am inviting all and sundry for a day like that and I know they will all come.

When exactly should they look to?

Is that what we are talking about now? We are talking about political issues in the country; you have to secure your life first before you can talk about all these things. We are talking about the way forward. When you get the way forward then you will now build future for the children.

What is your take on the emerging nude films being produced?

That is what I was saying. A lot of people came into the industry to do all sorts with the mindset of making waves by all means. It is after one gives them a hand that you see them going naked all in an attempt to become a star. To me, it is uncalled for. You don’t have to show the size of your boobs before people know that you have penchant for acting. We are warning them, especially those girls and the directors that want to use the industry as a medium to flaunt their bodies. We are taking necessary steps to stop whoever wants to tarnish the image of the association.

You are speaking authoritatively; have you also dreamt to become the next president of the association?

 No. I have not thought of that, but if tomorrow comes, I can go. For me, I always nurture the idea to lead my people. It might not be Nollywood.

Are you comfortable with the governance of President Jonathan?

Fine; I am comfortable with it, but you know when you are in governance, there are lots of challenges and oppositions I think so far, President Goodluck Jonathan has been doing well. Take a look at the power sector. He is making sure that Nigerians enjoy electricity and other things. At the same time, he still faces other political issues on the new and the old but all these lies on the aspiration of the Nigerian youths. The problem is that the new generations are no more asking questions and it is until we begin to ask questions that our leaders will begin to think right. The Nigerian dream we are talking about is the youths.

How is the experience like with your being close to the president?

He is the president and we are the subjects. I don’t think it is a bad idea to be closed to my President.

Even your intimacy with his children?

If you are closer to a president’s child, that means you are close to the president too. His children are still in their tender age. If you are close to me now you will be close to my family as well. To me, it is a great privilege to be close to the commander in chief of the most popular black nation. It is an honour and I feel very proud to have such opportunity.  The experience has been awesome and interesting because it is a big open family.

If The Pay Is Attractive, I Will Do A Movie With Fathia –Saidi Balogun

Saidi Balogun is one actor who has been trailed with several controversial issues. Recently, he spoke with REPORTER, Lukmon Akintola, on speculations surrounding his person and more.

You seem to always get involved in one controversy or the other. Why is this so?

The grace of God has kept me going. I don‘t allow scandals to affect me. You need to understand that if someone is talking about you, you have to thank God because there are people who are looking for people to talk about them. My plea to writers is that they should contact me first before writing about me. Some of the things I have read about myself are things I can’t imagine myself doing.

Tell us about your current relationship because at a point in time they said you remarried secretly?

You see, you need to leave my relationship alone for now. When the right time comes, I will talk about it. The story that I remarried was a funny one.

What is your relationship with your ex-wife, Fathia? Continue...

You are still talking about my privacy.

What would be your reaction to a producer who pairs you and Fathia as a couple on a set?

I am a professional in this field. I will do it, if the pay is attractive. I used to refuse to think of the possibility before, but it can actually happen, if the pay is attractive I will do the movie with her.

Giving the opportunity, would you turn back the hands of time to be with your ex?

I am doing perfectly fine as I am. I am happy the way God has been leading my life. I respect women a lot.

What is the nature of your relationship with Remi Adikwu-Bakare?

She is like a mentor and a mother to me. She enlightens me on business and other matters. When I left the hospital, she and her husband were the people who were there for me. I can’t forget them for any reason. I was insane for the first two weeks that I had the accident. I was a dead man walking, but God used them to bring me back to life.

How soon do you hope to try married again?

It is a private question, but I am married to my business for now. I am married to Saidi Balogun Production. I can marry an actress if the person is the right one God has chosen for me.

Tell us about the woman in your life

Some things are better kept private. I don’t want to raise unnecessary dust. I am doing just fine.

I''ve Not Found The Bold Man That Can Marry Me - Dayo Amusa

Here's what Nollywood actress Dayo Amusa told Nigerian Tribune in a recent interview when she was asked why she was still single.

What’s the worst rumour you’ve ever heard about yourself?

I don’t get myself bothered when people write stories about me – especially those that I know are untrue.

When you really do something and the press gets hold of it, you might feel guilty of it; but when journalists just cook up stories to fill their pages, I feel it’s better one overlooks it.

It is not a problem to me and as far as I’m concerned, I care less. Also, I’ve come to realise that being a celebrity goes along with rumours.

The name Dayo Amusa many times has been on the lips of people; it’s either you’re dating this person or another, or you’re doing one thing or the other. What could be responsible for this?

If I’m in a relationship and it doesn’t work for me, I believe I have the right to opt out because I deserve to be happy. So, if I’m in a relationship and I’m not getting the happiness I desire, I can’t be crucified for walking out of it. Continue..

After all, I’m not married to such person.

So, why is Dayo Amusa not yet married?

I’ll get married when I meet a man that is bold enough to date a woman like me.

Women like us need special men that understand the way we need to be treated for us to settle down. If that man is not available yet, then I won’t jump into marriage because people feel I should have been married now.

Because I am not yet married doesn’t mean I won’t get married. Besides, marriage is not a do-or-die affair.

Although it is honourable and it is a good thing to enjoy, if the right man is not there, I would rather remain single than find myself in a marriage that I will end up regretting.

Two Nigerian students back home after over a year hiding in Canada

Two Nigerian girls who have been in trouble with immigration authorities in Canada since June 2012 after they were caught working in Walmart.

The girls, who were students of University of Regina, had student visas which only permitted them to work only on campus and not outside. They didn’t know working outside campus was not permitted under the terms of their student visas and when they were caught, they were put under a deportation order. (Read the full story here)

Victoria Ordu and Favour Amadi (pictured above), have been in hiding for more than a year and took refuge in four different city churches hoping that the Canadian authorities will forgive them…but that didn’t happen. The authorities refused to budge and the girls had no choice but to return to Nigeria. They left Saskatchewan yesterday Friday Oct 18th. They were scheduled to get on a plane to Nigeria last night, so they should be here by now..

According to the BBC, the University of Regina President, Vianne Timmons, was at the airport to say good-bye to the ladies. Timmons said the girls left voluntarily in the hope that doing so would allow them to return to Canada later. The University is vowing to help the students come back.

Lagos Big Boy, Okwudili, Is A ''Yahoo'' Criminal

In the last few weeks, most  have observed that the internet was awash with the story of a big boy who is said to be very successful and has one of the biggest this, and the most expensive that.

His is name is Okwudili "Dilly" and sources say he moves around with a POLICE escort. But information the guy is not clean has surfaced. He is a confirmed 'Yahoo Yahoo thief' who confessed to all his criminal actions in court and was sentenced to prison in the US. Below is the story of Okwudili:

An American federal jury has convicted a Nigerian man, Oluyomi Oshinaike of two counts of bank fraud for a scam authorities say involved more than a million dollars in altered corporate checks.

Senior U.S. District Judge Charles Butler Jr. scheduled Oshinaike’s sentencing for Feb. 15. Under advisory sentencing guidelines, he faces a prison term of at least 2½ years and as much as 3 years and a month.

Okwudili “Cowboy” "Dilly" Umenyiora, who has already pleaded guilty to the bank fraud, also testified that he convinced Oluyomi Oshinaike to recruit people who were willing to allow checks to be deposited into their bank accounts.

“His job was to go out and find the accounts,” he testified.

Okwudili testified the account holders would be told a cover story similar to solicitations many people get via e-mail. The tale would be that a person in Nigeria needed help getting money into the United States.

Assistant US Attorney E.T. Rolison said in his closing argument that it is a classic Nigeria scam. "The reason you call it that is because they say, ‘My father is in Nigeria.’ They come up with that story,” he said.

Okwudili confessed that he would pay a postal worker at a mail-sorting center in Atlanta $500 for corporate bank checks, each. He said he did not know the man’s name, but a man by the name of Andrew Bryant Gunn has pleaded guilty in federal court in Atlanta in connection with the plot and will be sentenced next month.

Okwudili told jurors he would take the checks to a man named Guy Taylor, who would change the payee line. He would then give the checks to partners who would in turn deposit them into bank accounts.

He said the bank account holder would be allowed to keep 15 percent of the value of the. Taylor would get 10 percent and the postal worker was paid 10 percent to 15 percent, Okwudili testified.

Mobile resident Rosa Gullett testified that she agreed to allow Oshinaike, whom she knew as “Abdul,” to use her account. She said she met Oshinaike through her sister, who was dating him at the time. Her mother, Kim Williams, testified that she allowed him to use her account, too.

That’s not Okwudili's first brush with the long arm of the law, it seems he’s been a career criminal for over a decade as his mugshot from 2001 attests.

In light of this, it was with great amazement (and amusement) that people read the "sweet" story about him on the social media and Nigerians were praising him (the original story has now been deleted, but GOOGLE is your friend). Not only was he praised for being a ‘Super Model’ in his looks, given major props for his ‘swag’, but it seems he also drove up in a Lamborghini, escorted by MOPOL.

Fellow Nigerians.....

Are we back to the days of Fred Ajudua where known 419 Kingpins not only had a high public profile, but were even accorded police escorts, and were celebrated as pillars of society, worthy of emulation?

Wasn’t the EFCC set up to specifically check such individuals? I mean, what’s the justification in having a self-confessed and convicted fraudster being given an armed police escort?

How My Male Friend Tied Me Up In His Hotel Room & Raped Me

This is a warning to ladies to stop trusting people blindly. Read the lady's story below:

A friend of mine reached me and invited me to come to Benin City for an event. I have known him since 2011 so I though nothing of it. Like no harm can be done after all we go way back and stuff. So I booked my ticket from Lagos and I flew to Benin on the 13th that was a Sunday, and it was the day of the event.

After the event we went to chill at a hotel in GRA Benin. He had a Suite there...

We were with other friends, we all talked, laughed, gisted and all until about 10pm. Everyone started leaving gradually, I wanted to call a cab to take me to my own hotel, but he kept on insisting on dropping me. I was like it is even better, I would save my cab fare.

So I had to wait for everybody to leave before he could drop me. Every body finally left and I was about to stand up to leave but he kept on insisting that I should stay and I kept on saying it was late that I have to travel back to Lagos the following day because of work.

Then when I stood up angrily to go and get a cab, he pulled me and slapped me and asked me 2 sit. I thought it was a joke at first because I just couldn't believe it. Then I took my phone to call out and he seized them saying I am not going anywhere. He tied me up in his hotel, stuffed my mouth so I couldn't scream. He raped me over and over. He said his baba said I was the perfect candidate for his rituals and for his upcoming elections to take place properly next year. I was shocked, I couldn't even believe it.

I have heard stories but never thought I would have seen it first hand. Every 2 hours of everyday I was raped, mishandled and rough handled. I was helpless. I wept and cried all to no avail because no one could hear me. Then on Tuesday evening he went out and came back and rubbed something on his manhood and said that it was what his baba gave him to use on me when sleeping with me. That I would loose my womb and my good fortune.

I begged, I cried, I did all I could but he refused. At night when he tried to rape me with what the baba gave him, his manhood wasn't functioning, he tried and tried but it just wasn't getting up then he started to hit me and tried again but nothing and he left in annoyance to go and meet the baba. He was so much in a hurry he left the door open. He didn't lock it with the key. I was there waiting for him to get back.

Around 9am in the morning an hotel staff came, they knocked no one answered and then they went down to get the other key only for them to find out the door was even opened from the beginning. And there I was. They helped me out and all. The names he used in filling the hotel forms are all fake. He is still at large. The police are on a hunt for him. His wife is in police custody.

So I want to use this medium to reach anyone that knows anything about him. He calls himself honourable. I just really thank God for life because this is someone I thought I knew and I was certain. God saw me through, it's not because I am too fine or too holy.

This should be a warning to everybody. "You can only be sure of yourself, no one else."

ASUU Strike Update: FG Finally Agrees to Meet ASUU’s Demands after Over 100 Days

Towards ending the ongoing ASUU strike, the Federal Government has committed to spending N200 billion in the 2014 budget on the universities as well as on each of the next three-four years until the universities are brought to world-class standard as demanded by ASUU leadership.  This is in addition to the N100 billion dedicated and already made available… Government has also increased to N40billion as a first installment, funds for payment of earned allowances to the striking lecturers, an improvement from the N30 billion previously released. This information is contained in an internal statement at the Federal University of Otuoke by Professor Bolaji Aluko, its Vice-Chancellor. On the earned allowances, Prof. Aluko said “Government will top it up with further releases once universities are through with the disbursement of this new figure of N40 million, so Vice-Chancellors are urged to expedite this disbursement within the shortest possible time using guiding templates that have been sent by the CVC.” Professor Aluko said the development followed meetings on September 19 and Oct 11 of representatives of the Association of Vice-Chancellors of Nigerian Universities, led by Prof. Hamisu of ATBU and ASUU reps led by its President, Dr. N. Fagge with the Vice-President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Arc. Namadi. Sambo, Minister of State for Education, Nyesom Wike and others. In the interest of peace, Vice-President Sambo appealed to ASUU to call off the strike and apologized over the “take-it-or-leave-it” comments made by the Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. Other points of agreement at the meetings include the following: Project Prioritization: Universities will now be allowed to determine their priorities and not be “rail-roaded” into implementing a pre-determined set of projects with respect to the NEEDS assessment. 

Decisions are not to be centralized. TETFund Intervention: Government assured that the operations of the TETFund will not be impaired, and that the regular TETFund intervention disbursement to Universities will continue, unaffected. So the NEEDS assessment capital outlays are in addition to regular TETFund intervention. Project Monitoring: A new Implementation Monitoring Committee (IMC) for the NEEDS Assessment intervention for universities has been set up to take over from the Suswan Committee. 

The new one is under the Federal Ministry of Education and chaired by the Honorable Minister of Education. In addition, to build confidence and ensure faithful implementation and prevent any relapse as before, the Vice President will meet quarterly with the IMC to monitor progress. Blueprint: ASUU was mandated to submit a blue print for revitalizing the Universities to the Vice President. ASUU leadership will now meet to decide if the government should be trusted again, this time. 

Man Rapes His Wife With His Nephew

A 24-year-old man from Rushinga together with the nephew took turns to rape his wife the whole night, police have said. Acting Mashonaland Central provincial police spokesperson Assistant Inspector Petros Masikati confirmed the incident saying investigations were in progress.

“We received a report of a Rushinga man who teamed up with his nephew to rape his wife for the whole night and we have since launched a manhunt for the two men who are still at large,” he said.

It is alleged that sometime in June this year the man from Mapisa Village under Chief Rusambo arrived home from Bulawayo in the company of his nephew (22). The two were given food by the man’s wife and after the meal the husband indicated that it was late for his nephew to go to his house and he asked him to sleep at their house.

It is reported that the three slept together in the same room and the husband started demanding sex from his wife which she declined citing that it was a shameful act to be done in full view of their nephew.

The husband forcibly had sex with his wife in the presence of their nephew. After that the wife decided to leave the room but was held back by her husband. While holding his wife’s legs it is alleged that the husband then instructed his nephew to have sexual intercourse with her.

Police reports indicate that the husband and his nephew spent the night taking turns to rape his wife. The following day the wife told her aunt about the matter and she was advised to report the matter to the police but the wife failed to do so in a bid to save her marriage.

The matter came to light on October 8 after the wife was assaulted by her husband and that is when she reported the matter to

police.

Asst Insp Masikati appealed to members of the public who might know the whereabouts of the two to report at their nearest police station.

Writers rip into Peter Okoye for posting photos of himself intoxicated online

Punchng.com writers Kemi Ashefon and Anna Okon wrote a piece today criticizing Peter Okoye for posting pictures of himself getting drunk on his instagram page some days ago. See what they wrote below and tell us if you agree with them...(above; the pics that got the reporters angry)

In other climes, it may be unethical for a celebrity to flaunt his tendency to abuse drugs or alcohol. Here, celebrities, who are supposed to be role models to young minds, demonstrate their folly in public.

Or how would one describe the recent set of pictures posted by Peter Okoye of the P-Square fame? He was shown gradually getting drunk on brandy! The pictures which appeared on his Instagram page a few days ago, had Peter, in one shot, holding a glass filled with brandy to his lips. Underneath the picture is a comment from him, which says, ‘am I der yet?’ (sic). This was accompanied by a hash tag and the word ‘alcohol.’

In the second picture, a visibly intoxicated Peter, holds the same glass to the camera with the comment, ‘blame it’ after a hash tag accompanied by the word, ‘alcohol.’

Not too long ago, actress, Tonto Dikeh was alleged to have posted a picture promoting marijuana on her Instagram page.

Wife Fakes Own kidnapping, Demands N200,000 Ransom From Husband

A housewife has been arrested by the Enugu State Police for planning & staging her own kidnap, then demanding the sum of N200, 000 from her husband Marcus Chukwu as ransom.

Her partner, a commercial motorcyclist who was also connected in the staging her kidnap Chikwe Tochukwu has also been arrested. It was gathered that the husband Marcus, a native of Agbogugu in Awgu local Government Area of Enugu State, had received a call from his wife, Nancy Chukwu, claiming that she had been kidnapped by unknown gunmen and that her kidnappers were demanding the sum of two hundred thousand naira. Marcus was thereby given an account number where the said ransom is to be paid, rather than pay the ransom he reported the matter to the anti-kidnap unit of the police.

The Enugu State DSP, Ebere Amaraizu, who confirmed stated that investigations conducted revealed that Tochukwu of Amakwe Okeremiri Aboh Mbaise in Imo state, residing at Agbogugu was the brain behind the stage managed kidnap, which was aimed at extorting the woman’s husband. Tochukwu who confessed to the police said he is an okada rider that usually carries the woman, Nancy home anytime she is returning from market, adding that Nancy lured her into the crime. He went on to confess that while he was together with Nancy, sounded like a kidnapper on phone who was already holding Nancy under captivity, and demanded that the sum of two hundred thousand naira be paid as a ransom to the account number provided, which he also claimed belonged to his friend Chikwado. Nancy also confessed to the crime, saying she never knew what came over her to have acted in such manner.

“A full scale investigations into the alleged incident has intensified”, Amaraizu further stated.

'I'd love to have Genevieve as my wife' - D'banj says in new interview

D'banj told me something so sweet in confidence about Genevieve, but nah, sorry I can't spill... hehe. It's nice to hear him say he would love to marry her. I wish he'd just stop saying it and just do it.

He granted an interview to reporters on Wednesday which was published in Punch today where he talked about his career and his relationship with Genevieve. And guys, please stop all this 'it's just a publicity stunt' It wasn't. They didn't just date, they were madly in love. Read the interview below.

Singer, Dapo Oyebanji, aka D’banj, finally opened up on his love life in a rare meeting with journalists in Lagos on Wednesday.

The self-styled Kokomaster was clearly in his elements as he talked at length, amid occasional bouts of laughter, about his career and other issues that were important to him. One of the subjects was about his rumoured relationship with Nollywood actress, Genevieve Nnaji.

Judging by the manner in which the actress’ name kept popping off his lips, it was obvious that D’banj had a very soft spot for her.

Aware that the grapevine had bristled with the rumour that he was romantically involved with Genevieve, ever since she appeared in the 2010 video of his hit song, ‘Fall in Love’, the singer said the actress had played a role in his success.

“Apart from the fact that she is my friend, she has been a part of my success. There is no way you are going to tell my story that Genevieve’s name will not come up because she featured in my biggest song of all time, Fall in Love. So if E True Story comes to Nigeria to interview me, she will definitely be called upon to tell my story,” he said.

As if to confirm that there was more to his relationship with the actress than he had always admitted, D’banj added,

“I would love to have Genevieve as my wife.  We never can tell what God plans for us in the future. I have studied her and I realised that anyone that has her as his woman has found himself a treasure. Just like the Bible says, any man who finds a wife, finds a good thing.”

On remaining relevant, he said:

“So much has happened in the last 18 months and I am very thankful to God. By the Grace of God, I have remained relevant for nearly a decade in the music industry and I have released hit songs every year. Also, I am glad that I have been chosen to headline the Hennessy Artistry this year. This is one brand that understands the importance of aligning with the entertainment industry.

“My career is barely 10 years old. But with the success I have achieved so far, it feels like three decades already. Within my first 10 years as a musician, I have recorded the biggest song and shot the most viewed music video of all time, ‘Oliver Twist’. I must say I am humbled and getting ready to take over,” he said.

Without mincing words, D’banj noted that the history of his career and the resulting accomplishments will be incomplete without mentioning his humble beginning with the defunct Mo’Hits Records. The mere mention of his erstwhile colleagues, including Don Jazzy, seemed to awaken nostalgic feelings in him.

“If I say I don’t miss Don Jazzy, I am lying. I have spent the better part of my career with him. I was married to him in a way (laughs). So I miss everything about Mo’Hits: the family, the movement, and the vibe of being in the studio with him. I miss the jokes and the arguments, but I have since keyed into the notion that nothing can stop a moving train.

“Nevertheless we can always do music together. The track, ‘Top of the World’ was produced by a Grammy Award Winner. The songs ‘Finally’ and ‘Don’t Tell Me Nonsense’ was produced by my producer while ‘Oliver Twist’ was produced by Don Jazzy. So, why won’t I have him on my 10 years anniversary album?

“I have never said I am a musician; I am an entertainer. Some people say I can pick up a microphone and become a comedian. Therefore nobody should come and ask if I want to go into acting because they should know I am already an actor. It depends on when the right script and concept lands in my hands.

“For now, I am concerned about achieving new things and breaking new grounds. By the time I enter Hollywood, I believe that I’ll become as successful as I have been as a singer. The movie titled ‘I am Banga Lee’, starring Genevieve, to be released in 2014, won’t be a bad idea,” He said.

Flavour Nabania didn't make a Tribute song "Iwe",He Mockery Of His Friend, The Late McLoph.

Got an email from this beautiful lady above (left) Bainca Johnson about how Flavour abandoned his best friend's mom Late Mcloph's Late mum(right), Made a hit tribute song, and never picked up a phone to call her till her death 2 weeks ago.Read blow...

My name is Bianka Johnson, I reside in the United States of America. I am from Nigeria, a healthcare practitioner, actors-manager and a goodwill citizen. Flavour Nabania didn't make a tribute song "Iwe", he made a mockery of his friend, the late McLoph. Below is my story.

Tragedy brought us together......... That's how I came to know Mrs. Nwaozor, affectionately known to me as "Mama." Back in November 2011, someone posted a tribute video, "Iwe", by Flavor, on Facebook. On that day I distinctly remember viewing the video on YouTube and sobbing for over an hour after watching this video that paid homage to two siblings who so suddenly lost their lives. I was simply paralyzed thinking about the magnitude of grief one particular mother would have to endure. You see, Mama was the mother who lost those two adult children on the same day, specifically, a son, the erstwhile entertainer, MC Loph, and a daughter, Chinwe. All I could think to myself is that life as we know it is so unfair. My spirit was disturbed and something, I don't know what it was, moved within me and I set out to find this woman. It became my duty....my obligation, to find her, to hug her and give her some semblance of hope and maybe a little peace, if she would allow me to.

So, I began to search for Mama. The first thing I did was to call Flavor's promoter, Igwe, who I knew was based in Houston, Texas. I asked to speak with Flavor and he informed me that Flavor had gone to the mall, but he would make sure Flavor would call me immediately he got back. At the time, Flavor was in the United States promoting the album he had recently released. The next day Igwe called me and put Flavor on the phone. I briefly introduced

myself and went straight to thank him for showing love through his tribute song to a dear friend who had lost his life. Shortly after that, I expressed to him how his video moved me to tears and how I felt compelled to find Loph's mother. Flavor thanked me as well and gave me a telephone number to MC Loph's close friend in Lagos who went by the name Obi Mgbakor.

There was absolutely no doubt in my mind that Flavor was in contact with Mama on a weekly, or at least, a monthly basis seeing as the late MC Loph and Flavor were childhood friends that grew up together. Without hesitation, I immediately called Obi Mgbakor in Lagos and

introduced myself to him and requested Mama's contact information. Obi Mgbakor was guarded at first and was reluctant to give me Mama's number. He asked for my Facebook name so he could check out my profile. Without giving it a second thought, I provided it to him and his countenance changed after he was able to verify who I was and he even requested my

friendship on Facebook. Obi Mgbakor gave me Mama's information and I contacted her the next day and introduced myself. Mama and I spent almost an hour on the phone the first time we spoke and she narrated so much to me. Mama was heartbroken and she said that she was

 actually shocked Flavor was the one that made it possible for us to start communicating. Mama went further to express her disappointment over Flavor's nonchalant attitude since the death of her son, MC Loph and her daughter Chinwe. "Flavor has not picked up the phone to call me since Obiajulu passed away, yet he made a hit tribute song on his behalf. May God be the judge," Mama said.  

Now, it must be noted that MC Loph died in a ghastly motor accident on September 14, 2011, while traveling on the Benin/Ore expressway to visit Mama with his pregnant fiancé Nkiru, who survived the ordeal. The phone conversation I had with Mama was in November 2011, two months after MC Loph's death and she said Flavor hadn't called? Unbelievable! 

Immediately I got off the phone with Mama I called Obi Mgbakor to verify what she told me. The whole thing was strange to me and I couldn't reconcile the feelings and emotions Flavor expressed in his tribute video with the nonchalant attitude he had towards his best friend's mother. Obi Mgbakor indeed confirmed that Flavor refused to call or visit mama after McLoph's death.

Right now, I want to set the record straight. Since the death of Mama's son, MC Loph, Flavor Nabania never called nor visited Mama and he never sent a dime to her for her upkeep. Flavor hasn't made any effort to reach out to Nkiru or MC Loph's infant son. Mama died from congestive heart failure exacerbated by heartbreak. But for the deaths of her two adult children at the same time, which took an enormous toll on her health, it is my belief that Mama would have lived longer. Since her death, I have read so many untrue stories including a statement made by MC Loph's former manager, Emeka Morgan. Once again, let me set the record straight: Mr. Morgan was never responsible for Mama's upkeep. He claimed that his record label was sending Mama thirty thousand naira a month. Mama never received thirty thousand Naira monthly from the record label and Mr Morgan never adopted MC Loph's son nor was he responsible for the infant's welfare as speculated by some brainless human beings. Mr. Morgan abandoned Mama as soon as the media attention surrounding her son's death died off. Mr. Morgan till date has yet to call Nkiru, MC Loph's fiancé, to say congratulations on the birth of Loph's son. 

It is my honest belief that God brought me close to Mama after her son's death for reasons beyond my comprehension. I took care of Mama until she died to the best of my ability. Today, I am blessed to have an extra angel watching over me. She lost two children at the same time who can never be replaced but before she died, Mama gained a grandson, a beautiful daughter in-law in Nkiru, and a daughter in me. Mama is gone, reunited with her children and I know she is at peace now. Mama will be buried in November 12, 2013. May her very gentle soul rest in peace.

Femi Kayode responds to Aviation Minister, calls her market woman, fish wife

Former minister of Aviation Femi Fani Kayode has answered to the current minister of Aviation Ms. Stella Oduah who yesterday recounted him as an ignorant individual, who “should conceal his head in shame.” after he called for her resignation following Thursday's crash...

Mrs Stella Oduah said:

"I have gigantic understanding for them, the ignorant persons in specific. Because when you speak out of context, when you talk under the leverage of whatever it is you are under, you talk incorrectly and you deceive blameless Nigerians and that is what he has done. And he really should conceal his head in shame.”

Femi Fani Kayode's answer underneath.

Stella Oduah made some remarks about me today (yesterday) which were uncalled for, malicious and petty. She reportedly said that I should ''bow my head in shame'', suggested that I was ''speaking out of context'' in my essay where I called for her resignation and that I spoke under some ''influence of something or other''. My recommendations and counsel to her is to augment up and halt being petty. She is intended to converse like somebody who befits her agency and not like a market woman, a fish wife or a animal from a Parisian bordello.

Which one be Parisian bordello afresh? Lol. This man sef. delight extend.

I do not like connecting issues with women publiclly which is why I was very mild with her in my essay though I made my issue. But this specific woman is threatening the lives of our persons with her incompetence and insensitivity and we will not just hold calm. This is a woman under whose watch nearly 200 people have been killed as Aviation Minister and instead of focusing on how to save lives her obsession has become smearing and mishandling Femi Fani-Kayode. This is a woman who only yesterday notified Nigerians that ''accidents are inescapable' and that they were ''acts of God''. This is a woman who thinks more about how her headscarf looks, her adornment and the adornment of others more than she does about defending Nigerian air tourists

If anyone should entomb her head in disgrace it is her and not me. After just under 200 of our fellow citizens have been killed under her watch rather than of mishandling her detractors and those of us that have expressed our concern and offered our suggest she should be searching repentance from God and tendering her resignation. She should be trying to boost the Nigerian persons and assuage their doubts rather than indulging in petty and bargain sideshots and an futile press conflict. rather than of

comforting the families of those that were lost she is opening her mouth and mishandling me. What a shame. Under her tenure we have attractive terminals but dangerous and body-fluid soaked atmosphere. Our atmosphere have become a death trick because she really doesn't care.

My recommendations to her is to shut up, get serious and aim on doing her job rather than trying to smear me with her filthy lies and malicious innuendos. I increased some serious issues in that essay that were apparently above her learning level and I

bypassed personal insults. That is what civilsed people do. She should discover from that and address the issues that were increased rather than spend her time endeavouring to

murder the messanger. When somebody states that God is the scribe of mortal smashes you understand that it is not the identical God that we adoration as that individual. It is the devil that

causes misfortunes and murders persons and not God. You can state that a fatal misfortune is an act of God only if the devil is your god. When I speak and compose I am under the influence of one thing and one thing alone- the Spirit of the Living God who sees through her and who knows her for what she is.

She is the one that is under the influence of one thing or the other and not me. She is the one whose hands are topped up with blood. She is the one that must bury her head in shame and no-one else. I will pray for her because she desires it and I will pray for Nigeria to. May God deliver us from this vampire Minister
