Popular Lagos Pastor Beats Wife In Broad Daylight

A popular pastor of Mountain of Liberation Miracles Ministires, Dr. Chris Okafor, has allegedly beaten his estranged wife, Bessem Okafor, in broad daylight  at their home in Magodo, Lagos.

According to Bessem, who left her home in 2012, the incident happened when she went to visit her four children who were in the custody of their father in Magodo few weeks ago.

It was gathered that the visit was put together by a lawyer from the Office of the Public Defender, Lagos State Ministry of Justice, and Mr Okafor's lawyer, Mr. Onyechukwu Ubani.

Explaining what transpired on that fateful day, Bessem said: “I have not seen my children for nine months and our lawyers agreed that I could come see them at home after school hours by 5pm on that day. I went to the house at the appointed time, but my children were not there.

“I had to wait outside in the compound until 10pm before my husband arrived; the children were not with him. They were later brought home by the driver about 12am. By then it was clear I couldn’t leave again, I had to spend the night.

“The following morning, I bathed and dressed them for school. They pleaded with me to stay back until they returned and since I hardly spent time with them the day before, I agreed.

"Few hours after the children had left for school, Chris called me on the phone and questioned my presence in the house and ordered me to leave.

"When I insisted on staying till my children returned from school, he threatened to make sure I get out of the house.

“Not quite long, a policeman came and asked me to leave the house. At that time, I was wearing only my dress. I had washed my undies and spread them to dry since I didn’t come with extra.

“I told the policeman that I would leave after my children returned from school. Later, Chris came in and on seeing me, he started beating me and dragged me out of the house.”

It was gathered that after making a complaint of assault at the Isheri Police Division, Bessem was hospitalised at the Solid Rock Hospital, in the Ojodu/Berger area.

A copy of her medical report signed by one Dr. Ametepee T. M and made available to PUNCH read that:  “Examination revealed a middle aged woman in distress with multiple bruises, BP 140/80mmhg and pulse rate 104bpm. There was inflammation around the left knee and tenderness along the spine. She was subsequently admitted, placed on intravenous fluids and managed as case of multiple trauma secondary to domestic violence.”

Mr Okafor did not respond to calls and a text message sent to his phone, but when his lawyer was contacted, he said: “Bessem has made all sorts of allegations against her husband,  but what she has failed to tell you is that she left her marriage of her own volition. She ended her marriage with her infidelity. She would leave her house, come back at late hours and would not tell her husband where she has been.The couple are already in court for divorce.

"This particular incident you are asking about, it was Bessem who tore her own clothes. Chris never laid a hand on her. Why did she not get a medical report from a government hospital?"

“Break Up & Forget About Our Contract” – Globacom Tells P-Square

A source close to the telecoms operator told Vanguard yesterday on telephone that the telecommunications giant, Globacom Nigeria Limited may terminate the endorsement deal, which it has with the pop twins Peter and Paul Okoye, popularly known as P-Square, since 2010, should they go ahead with the break-up.

According to the source, the telecoms giant entered into a contract with P-Square and not with any of the twins. “Since Glo has a contract with P-Square, and not with Peter or Paul, their breakup will definitely lead to the termination of the contract,” the source explained.

Harrysong Denies He Ever Said His Parents Are Siblings

Beta Pickin crooner, Mr Songz, has denied reports gone viral that his parents are siblings. Harrysong reportedly in an interview with Yes! magazine, said he's an only child because his parents split after finding out they were related by blood. Harrysong allegedly said in the interview:
My father and mother are actually brother and sister. They gave birth  to me before they could realize that. It was a big abomination, so they had to separate. Even, they attempted to kill my father in that village but he fled, because in Warri where I come from , it is a taboo. They termed it incest.”

Why I’m So Short – Actor Aki

Popular actor, Chinedu Ikedieze, aka Aki, had a tough time fielding questions from school children at the ongoing World Book Capital event in Port Harcourt, capital of Rivers State.

During the ‘Celebrities Read to Children’ segment of the event, at the Royal Banquet Hall of Hotel Presidential on Tuesday, one of the pupils in attendance, a youngster of about eight years, sent the guests rocking with laughter when he asked, “Why is Aki so short?”

But barely concealing his embarrassment, Aki patiently explained to the pupil that he was created that way. “If you look around, you will see that some people are tall and others are short, even shorter than I am. I am short because God has created me this way,” he said.

Meeting the actor for the first time, some of the pupils were so excited they literally pelted him with more questions. They wanted to know his actual age, if his alter-ego – Osita Iheme aka Pawpaw – was his blood brother and how he got the pseudonym, Aki.

To the youngster who wanted to know his age, he said, “I am a full adult. All I can say is that I am above 20 years. I am in my 30s. When I was as young as you, one of my favourite actors was an American known as Gary Coleman. He was so short that I used to think he was a boy. I never knew he was a man.”

Regarding his relationship with Pawpaw, Aki told his young ‘tormentors’ that fate brought them together. “I am from Abia State and he is a native of Imo State. We never knew each other before until fate brought us together through Nollywood,” he said.

The actor advised another pupil, who wanted to know how he could become a Nollywood actor, to get good education first. He said, “The door to Nollywood is wide open and ready to admit anybody. But you need to go to school first.

If you go to school, you will have a solid foundation. Most young people that are just going into Nollywood are not aware that they have to give 70 per cent of their time to education and only 20 per cent to acting. Education will help you become good actors and actresses.”

Aki concluded his short ‘sermon’ by adding that despite dividing his time between his studies as a Mass Communications student of the Institute of Management and Technology, Enugu and acting in Nollywood movies, he had managed to graduate with good grades.

Also, Nollywood actress, Patience Ozokwor, stunned the audience when she revealed that she had eight children. She said that while four of them were her biological children, the rest were adopted. “But I have become so used to them that I don’t regard them as my adopted children,” she added, referring to the latter.

When asked why she always played the part of the ‘wicked’ woman in the movies, she replied, “I can’t get tired of answering this same question all the time. Well, I think it is because producers and directors discovered that I play such roles very well. Incidentally my fans seem to enjoy seeing me play the role of a bad woman,” she said.

I’m Ready to Expose Boko Haram Sponsor – Popular Clairvoyant

A popular clairvoyant in Adamawa State, Alhaji Alhassan Mohammed Goni, a.k.a. AMG, has threatened to expose the sponsors of Boko Haram insurgency if the killer group does not suspend the current bloodletting and hostilities in the country within two weeks.

The spiritualist, who expressed sympathy for President Goodluck Jonathan, said:
“My vision always tells me whenever the Boko Haram are about to launch attacks but I was always incapacitated to stop them because I was not given express permission by the authorities to do so; but through my intervention, the intensity of the attacks is minimal.”

He said among those sponsoring Boko Haram activities are top politicians and traditional rulers...

Goni added that having been disturbed by the bloodletting and seemingly inexorable hostilities by the group, he deemed it fit to come forward, and warned that if those behind Boko Haram fail to change their ways, he will soon expose them.

He said he is aware of the various nocturnal meetings held by the sect before launching attacks but was not able to curtail their attacks as he had not been permitted to do so. He condemned the recent bombing in Abuja and urged government to take more security measures like mounting of CCTV cameras.

He called for the probe of the Chinese company handling the  installation of CCTV cameras in Abuja, adding that the contract should be revoked and handed over to a more competent company.

“Government should also look at ways of giving employment to civilian JTF in the armed forces, police and other para military organizations so that they can continue to actively contribute their quota in protecting their father land”, Goni stressed.

Tonto Dikeh Warns P-Square Against Splitting

Star actress, Tonto Dikeh, warned the P-Square of the grievous consequences of break-up. Tonto advised Peter and Paul Okoye to handle their problems maturely, stating further that their wives must play important roles in resolving the issues amicably.

The controversial actress disclosed that splitting may destroy their brands and careers. “When you break up, your whole identity is shattered. It is like death,” Tonto noted.
“The love of twins is undisputed, Paul and Peter. You have been together for years, making great songs like Senorita, Do me, Story, More than a friend, Omoge mi, Busy body, Alingo, Personally, Testimony; the list is endless! Why break it up now?

“Please learn. Two heads are better than one. Mrs Lola and Anita, they say a woman makes a home. This is the time to show the world that both of you are women with great substance, which I believe you are,” Tonto further said.

According to reports, some of the reasons Peter wants out of the group is that his brothers do not respect his wife.

Mercy Johnson And Chika Ike Denies Beef Rumour

Over the weekend, it was reported that Nollywood damsels; Mercy Johnson Okojie and Chika Ike were not in talking terms. According to reports, the two pretty actresses were fighting over seniority issues. It was further reported that Mercy was particularly bitter because she expected Chika Ike to respect her more than she presently does.

Mercy and Chika have now debunked the rumour. The movie stars took to Twitter to laugh off the reports, jokingly stating that if they would not fight, Purity, Mercy Johnson’s one-year-old daughter would be the referee. They also sarcastically said  they would now get hand gloves to slug it out with each other.

"Babe, I hear say we dey fight o, I don buy my boxing glove o, oya#bellringing# round 1," Mercy Johnson posted, while Chika replied saying, "my gurl4life, I hear am too ooo, me self go buy my own glove, oya make Purity be the referee o. LOL, #round2.”

The second coming of Jesus Christ may never happen – Vatican

The SPOKESPERSON for the Vatican officially announced some days ago that the second coming of Jesus, the only son of the God, may not happen now after all, but urged followers to still continue with their faith, regardless of the news.

Cardinal Giorgio Salvadore told WWN that this years 1,981st anniversary is to be the Vatican’s last in regards to waiting for the Lord to return  to Earth.

“We just feel Jesus is not coming back by the looks of it.” he said. “It’s been ages like. He’s probably flat out doing other really good things for people somewhere else.”

Nearly two thousand years ago, Jesus promised his disciples that he would come again in chapter John 14:1-3 of the bible: “There are many homes up where my Father lives, and I am going to prepare them for your coming. When everything is ready, then I will come and get you, so that you can always be with Me where I am. If this weren’t so, I would tell you plainly”

The Vatican defended Jesus’ broken promise, claiming “he was probably drinking wine” at the time when he made the comments.

“Having the ability to turn water into wine had its ups and its downs.” added Cardinal Salvadore. “We all make promises we can’t keep when we’re drunk. Jesus was no different.”

The church said it will now focus attentions on rebuilding its reputation around the world, but will keep an optimistic mind for the savior’s second coming.

Boko Haram Kills UTME Candidates In Borno State

An unknown number of secondary school students travelling to Borno state to write the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (JAMB) , have reportedly been killed by the Boko Haram sect. The students were among the people that lost their lives during the multiple attacks unleashed in four different communities in Borno;  Dikwa, Kala Balge, Gambulga and Gwoza. It isn’t yet certain, but the Senator representing Borno Central in the Senate, Zannah Ahmed claims 210 people lost their lives. He also claims that the attackers were dressed in the military uniform and they spoke English language  rather than the Hausa and Kanuri language spoken by the Boko Haram insurgents. Read his statement on the issue below…

The senator who said he was compelled to speak out because his people were being killed on a daily basis, added “what happened in Borno was beyond understanding.” He said: “It is a must for me to speak since the people lives are involved and they are my people. All these are happening in my constituency and it will be wrong to keep quiet. I feel so much pained and would not have spoken but definitely my conscience will not let me do that.” He alleged that 210 people were slaughtered by marauders, who dressed in military uniforms and attacked the towns in two armored personnel cars and seven double cabin pickups. According to him, they attacked a Teachers College in Dikwa and killed seven people, burnt down the school library and administrative block. He said Kala Balge was the most devastated as 60 people were killed by the armed men who went on the rampage. He said after they left Kala Balge they attacked three other towns in the area where a total of 150 persons were killed. 

A source however, said that the insurgents laid ambush for a group of students riding in eight different vehicles, who were on their way to Biu from Maiduguri to write Senior the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board Examination scheduled for Saturday April, 2014.

"My colleagues want to run me down" - comedian Klint Da Drunk

In a recent interview with Punch, popular comedian Klint Da Drunk alleged that his colleagues are trying to run him down, peddling rumours that his love for computer game is the reason he hasn't gone far in his comedy career

"Now they say I would have gone far in my career if not for my love for computer games. It is this same set of comedians that went around telling people that I live in Abuja so that I will not be getting Lagos shows. My colleagues want to run me down, let them feel free. It is because they are afraid of me; they feel that if they run me down I won’t survive it. I am a gadget lover, that is the truth. Everyone knows that whenever I walk into a gadget shop the people there want me to educate them about some of their gadgets. Isn’t it better that I am a sucker for video games than a sucker for smoking igbo, marijuana?” he asks
On his relationship with other comedians, Klint said "They have cliques but that does not bother me because it doesn’t affect my career. God still chases away flies for a tailless cow. So, I'm not complaining".

I Can Start Thinking Of Marriage When I’m In My Late 30’s - Ice Prince

Ice Prince in a new interview with vanguard has said, he is not ready for marriage and will start thinking about it in his late 30’s. I don’t think I am planning to get married now because I am still young, I’m in my youth and moreover, I am just 27 years old. Maybe later in my late thirties I can start planning to get married or not, he said.

When asked what his real reasons were he said; It’s because I still have a long way to go before thinking of settling down. I can’t say because of what I have, that I am okay to get married, no. I don’t think I am mentally ready for marriage. I think before one could get married, one needs to attain certain level of understanding and awareness. I don’t think I have those qualities just yet.

He also spoke about his relationship and babymama; Yeah, but I wouldn’t want to talk about my girlfriend and about the mother of my baby. She is good and we are not talking about getting married because I’m not ready yet.

Panic In Makurdi Over ‘Talking’ Chicken

There was panic yesterday among residents in Makurdi, Benue state after news of a 'talking' chicken went viral.

Apparently the said chicken was said to being taken to the market to be sold when suddenly it started speaking in Arabic.

The incident was reported to have occurred at about 12 noon around the Wadata central mosque premises located few meters from the divisional police station.

Residents around the ‘A’ division police station beside Wadata Market, Makurdi took to their heels after hearing the news.

A woman in the area who gave her name as Aishetu said “I have not seen the chicken myself,” she confessed. “I heard that police have taken it into custody and that is why the station is so crowded. Everybody wants to see it talk,” she said.

The incident was said to have caused some sort of chaos as motorists plying the road, hurriedly reversed to the opposite direction while buyers and sellers in the market ran helter-skelter for safety fearing it was a renewed hostility between farmers and herdsmen who ceased fire barely a week ago.

Meanwhile as a way of restoring normality to the area, the policemen were reported to have threw canister to disperse the crowd who wanted to have a glance of the 'talking' chicken.

The Police spokesman, SP. Daniel Ezeala, however dismissed the claims saying “How can a fowl talk’” he queried. “There is nothing like that because it is unnatural for animals to talk. It is the handiwork of mischief makers who wanted to displace traders and loot their wares in the market,” Ezeala said.

More Evil Forests Would Be Exposed Says Deeper Life Pastor

The General Overseer of the Deeper Christian Life Ministries in Oyo State, Pastor Sola Odumosu, has said that more evil sites like the horror forest in Soka would be exposed through prayers and the intervention of Christians.
Speaking on Monday at a press conference held at the church’s headquarters in Ibadan to unveil plans for the visit of the church’s General Overseer, Pastor W.F Kumuyi, for a miracle crusade scheduled to hold from Friday to Sunday at the church’s camp ground, Km 10, New Ibadan-Oyo Expressway, Pastor Sola said the last was yet to be seen or heard about the discovery of evil dens.
The man of God said that Kumuyi's visit would expose every hideout of the evil ones as well as raise people’s hopes in the face of insecurity and socio-economic challenges bedeviling the city.
He said the church would not relent in intervening for the nation so that all forces of darkness would be expelled.
"The last is yet to be heard of such discovery. More of such evils will be exposed by the prayers and interventions of Christians. Only righteousness exalts a nation, sin is a reproach to any people and every evil in this state will be uncovered during the crusade," he said.

It would be recalled that the soka evil forest was discovered on March 22, 2014, in Ibadan, Oyo State, after a group of local youths embarked on a search of two missing cyclists.
Over 50 suspected ‘mentally-ill’ persons have been arrested by the police after the incident, following the attack on mentally-ill people by Ibadan residents on the suspicion that they were ritualists.

Actor Jim Iyke Shares A Touching Tribute To His Late Mother

Nollywood Jim Iyke actor sadly lost his mother on the 1st of April, 2014 and has left a touching tribute to her after breaking his silence on her demise.

“She was a force of nature. My big sis, my 1st wife, my confidante, my rock, my critique, my greatest fan and regal leader.

“She was a radiant, gorgeous woman with a smile bigger than the sun and always ready to embrace anyone for all the good and even wrong reasons.

“My sun is gone. The dull numbing ache in my heart will never be pacified by any woman alive. Not my lover, sisters nor even a daughter I may one day bear.

“The relationship of a mother and an only son is uniquely eternal and spiritual, transcending human comprehension. Mine with Gladys is even far strangely beyond that. “They say it’s a blessing if a son buries his mother and not the other way around. I’m not sure they’re entirely right.

“They also said one never recovers from the loss of their mother. I hope they are right! May I never recover from the memories of your celestial love, sacrifices, warmth, your contagious laughter and merciless wit.

“Your enthusiasm for life and service of others was infectious. I’ll miss you each and every waking moment of my life. I know you’re in a better place now. “I’ll carry on everything you stood for ’til my last days.

“You came and saw and conquered. “Adieu Gladys from your boy Jim. “I love you till the last breathe I take.”

I Made Davido Popular — Tanzanian Music Star, Diamond Boasts

Tanzanian artiste, Naseeb Abdul, aka Diamond Platnumz, is a household name in his home country. He holds eight Kilimanjaro awards. Veteran Tanzanian musician, Maalim Gurumo, once described as the best ‘Bongo Flavour’ artiste of the decade.

The singer recently did a duet with Nigerian music star, David ‘Davido’ Adeleke in the remix of his single ‘Number One’ and he disclosed his happiness for achieving such feat.

Speaking about the collabo, Diamond revealed that the duet with Davido has now made the Nigerian star popular in Tanzania.

“I met Davido when he came over to Tanzania for a show and when we were together, he heard my song. I told him I would love to feature him on the remix of my song, ‘Number One’, and he agreed. Currently the song is topping charts in various African countries.”

“Shortly after, he released Aye and that made him very popular in my country as well. They love the song in my country. I featured Davido on the track because I wanted to launch myself into the West African market and he was the best person for the job. I used Davido to break into the West African market,” the Tanzanian singer said further.

Diamond was born on October 2, 1988.

Marriage Crisis! Kim & Kanye’s Wedding Plans In Disarray

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West‘s Parisian wedding plans have hit a major snafu, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned, after the couple learned that French law requires a 40-day residency requirement PRIOR to any wedding!

Kardashian, 33, had planned on saying I Do to West, 36, on May 24. But according to various statutes in France, at least one of the parties has to have resided in France for at least 40 days prior to the wedding.

Radar reviewed the law with the French Embassy in Washington D.C. whom advised: “All marriages must be performed by a French civil authority before any religious ceremony takes place. The mayor can authorize the deputy mayor or a city councilor to perform the ceremony in the town in which one of the parties to be married has resided for at least 40 days preceding the marriage. These requirements can not be waived.”


A Kardashian source confirmed: “Kim and Kanye were unaware until recently that France required a residency requirement prior to the marriage. Kanye has an apartment in Paris, but he doesn’t live there full-time.”

This could explain the sudden and unexpected change to West’s Yeezus world tour, as we reported last week: The hip hop recording artist announced he would be postponing his planned Australian tour — which had originally been scheduled for the weeks before the May 24 event — until the fall.

West claimed he made the switch to give himself more time to work on his upcoming studio album, due later this year.

But on Twitter, fans seemed to think that it was no coincidence he was postponing his professional obligations as he preps for the big day!

“Kanye West postponed tour cuz he’s a control freak and needs to stay and oversee the minutia of the wedding,” one follower wore. “Bible!”

French law further dictates that there be TWO wedding ceremonies.


“The religious ceremony has to be performed after the civil ceremony (never before). The minister, priest or rabbi will require a certificate of civil marriage before any religious ceremony takes place,” the French Embassy also said.

We’re told Kimye’s French marriage will be legally recognized in the United States.

Many celeb pals say no to Kanye West's wedding

According to new reports, Kanye West is having a tough time convincing his celebrity pals to attend his upcoming wedding to Kim Kardashian…

From Star Magazine
More than 105 potential guests have already declined to attend the wedding – responding “No” to Kim’s Save The Date. Among the non-attendees are a number of Kanye’s celebrity acquaintances, who likely don’t want to be affiliated with a Keeping Up with the Kardashian’s special.
“Robin Thicke, Jerad Leto, Jonah Hill, Anna Wintour, Oprah Winfrey, Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, Prince, Karl Lagerfeld, Barack and Michelle Obama and Beyonce and Jay Z have all said they won’t be coming,” the insider dishes.
“Kanye knows that the Kardashians are hated, but he really thought his friends and associates would attend for his sake.”

2face Idibia Says it all; My women, The lies and The truth

2face Idibia recently had an interesting chat with the Nation’s newspaper - he bared his mind on life as a married man, the alleged scandals that have trailed his career for years and his relationship with his babies’ mothers.

The best part was where he sweetly described Annie Idibia as a jealous woman "She loves me. So she must be jealous. If I am laughing with a particular girl too much or I am going the way that I am not supposed to go, or if one girl is following me too much, she will be there to caution me. She definitely has to be protective of her man. At that point she can tell such a girl, ‘hold your side!’ And if it is I that is doing it, she could tell me, ‘cool down, I dey here o.’"

See excerpts below:


We read so much about you in the news. Would you say that those things we read about you are true?

A lot of them have been false, while a lot of them have been true. Some are true, no doubt, but a lot, like I said, are so false. It is like that, and it has been like that.

How do you feel when they are so false?

I am always then like, why should people be so evil? So evil like that? I tend to ask myself at that point why? People are so lazy that they cannot take time to seek out the truth! Take for instance your own medium; you have taken time to seek me out. I guess that is how it should be. If you ask questions rightly, of course, you will get answers. Sometimes though, those false stories amuse me. That is being famous for you! I take it in good strides. I do not let it affect my character.

You talk about false stories, which one can you immediately share with us?

Okay, there is this recent one, which has been in the news lately, which refers to me as having impregnated my account officer. In the first place, I do not know where that story emanated from. I don’t even know where that story could have come out from. I don’t know about it at all!

But the impression out there is that it is true…
Of course it is not true. Impression you said, but impression can also be in both ways. Initially nobody said whether it was true or not. So what I did was to correct whatever impression from my twitter page. But the story still went on. It is a serious matter because now I am married. So it is unfair for anyone to put out such story about me perhaps because they want to sell their medium or sell their blog. It is really totally unfair to me, especially now that I am married. If I wasn’t married, we would have laughed over the matter. But now, I am. So I do not expect that people will play over such issues of emotion at this time of my life.

What does it feel like to be Tuface, to be famous?

It’s not easy for me. But I feel say na me don go set myself up. I have gone out there to put myself up, so I have to live it. It is not easy. If feels good, but it is a lot of challenges, a lot of non-privacy. So many things are being flung your way, temptations, and if you are not careful, you get swept off by the evil tide. There are so many hazards in being famous and if you can’t control yourself, you get carried away within a short time. It is not all smooth- sailing. I can tell you that it is not all glamour.
For instance, I enter into an event, a place and I walk straight to go and find a seat for myself to sit. But before I know it, some people will take it personal. Meanwhile if someone else does it, it is seen as normal and accepted. So when I enter a place, I have to move around first and greet people. That is why you see me say ‘I hail o’ each time I enter a place. But you know, it is not all the time that you are in a good mood to be so friendly. But because you are famous, whether you are in a good mood or not, you have to put on a smile and greet people. Else, if you do not do that as a celebrity, such things will make you to easily make enemies. You actually make enemies without even realizing it. That is the crazy part of being a celebrity and a famous person.

How has married life been? It has been a year already, isn’t it?

Yes, it was a year on Sunday. And the wedding actually took place on a Sunday. It was like the same day all over again. So far so good, married life is cool. We don dey do wetin married people dey do. We don dey sidon together, we go laugh, we go quarrel small (laughs), we go come hold each other again as if no be us quarrel some moments ago. Life has been kind to us since we got married. We have been living happily ever after. I know we did the wedding in Dubai and some said they couldn’t come. But I tell you, even if we had done it in Lagos, some people would still have missed it. The Dubai event was not an excuse for anybody to say anything. We did the traditional wedding celebration in Akwa Ibom State, in Nigeria after all.

Before you proposed, there were some other women in your life. Why is it Annie that you decided to propose to and marry?

I have been fortunate enough to have met a couple of nice ladies in life and two of them even have children for me. But I think that Annie and I understand each other more. As with matters of the heart, it is very difficult sometimes to find the right words to explain it. Somehow, you just know that this is the particular person that you want to stay with.

How do you handle the ‘maturity thing’ in marriage?

We try to live our lives our own way. We have never had cause to introduce the third party in our home. When we have a problem, we sort it out between ourselves. We don’t call anybody in to come and solve our problems for us. We sit down and talk about it. Like I said earlier, sometimes we quarrel when both of us are stubborn over a matter. But we do not involve the third party!

Do the other ladies still hang around?

Definitely I have a couple of female friends, just like I have a couple of male friends. Boundaries are to be respected and if boundaries are not being respected, I have to voice a respectable apology and move on. But I think my friends know this. So they ‘free’ me.

Is your wife not the jealous type?

She loves me. So she must be jealous. If I am laughing with a particular girl too much or I am going the way that I am not supposed to go, or if one girl is following me too much, she will be there to caution me. She definitely has to be protective of her man. At that point she can tell such a girl, ‘hold your side!’ And if it is I that is doing it, she could tell me, ‘cool down, I dey here o.’

How do you relate to your children from different women?

If you see me and my children together, you will think we are mates. That is how I relate with them.

And your relationship with your children’s mothers?

We are good. We are peaceful, everybody is matured. We have a cordial relationship. One love always…

Looking at you, physically you have not changed much since you got married. One would have expected that you would have become bulkier in size. The face keeps remaining the same. How have you been able to keep fit and trim over the years?

I guess it is my structure. It is my nature. I am a lean person by nature. I do not do any dieting to remain in this shape. It is my natural structure.

And no protruding stomach…
(Laughs) I try to do exercise once in a while; I try to stay on top.

What is your best food?

Beans and yam (concoction, laughs). But there is one soup called ekpankukwo that my wife cooks for me from time to time..

It is been a long journey from where you are coming from. Looking back, how do you feel? How have the big moments in your life been so far?

When I look back, I am amazed. Back then, I didn’t think that I could make it to this point. I didn’t see it coming to this height. I probably may have seen it two years ahead, but not this far. There have been many ups and downs. So many highlights and high moments; one of my greatest moments back then was the first time that Plantashun Boys’ music was played on radio. It was like Christmas! We said to ourselves, ol boy, na our song dey radio so. That was in the year 1999; we did Omode meta with Tony Tetuila in 1998. But Plantashun Boys, which was our own music, made us so excited. There was jubilation amongst us. And then after, I got a couple of awards. That made me more excited.
And then again I went solo, won the MTV Europe Music Awards. That was a major highlight in my musical career. It was a big deal to me.
My video was the first to be played on MTV. Another big moment for me was the first time that I performed with Wyclef. That had been somebody that I had looked up to, and lo and behold, there he was in Nigeria. I was sitting with him. That was a big deal to me. Wyclef was an artist that had really inspired me.
Another golden moment was hmmm, when my first child came. It is not like I was not excited over the other ones, but when the first one arrived, I had this feeling that oh yeah, I am a father now! I was all wow and wow, so I am a father now. I kept saying to myself that I am responsible for this tiny human being…It was a very emotional feeling for me. My first child’s name is Nino.
Another exciting and great moment for me was when I proposed and got married to my wife. I proposed and she actually said yes to this useless boy! (Humbly points to himself). I said to myself, ‘Hey, this girl said yes to me! I was over joyed!!!

How did you propose to her?

I knelt down (laughs). After that, I told her that we should go somewhere to rock and enjoy ourselves. Meanwhile, my friend had invited people to that place already. She didn’t see it coming at all. It was a big huge surprise.

She is an actress, and you are a music star. You are both in the entertainment industry. How do you get on with the challenges of life in the show biz world?

I guess what we do actually adds to our understanding of the general public and the general way of how we should handle ‘us’, handle ourselves. I do not have any problem with her acting and she doesn’t have a problem with me doing music. We are just blending it. Right now, she has been off acting because of what they call maternity leave. But she is going to get back to acting at some point.

How does your wife Annie feel about your music?

If you recall this song, nfana ibaha o, she was the one that actually taught me how to say it, how to do it back then. So she has been my fan from way back. If I am doing a song and the song is not nice, she will tell me straight. She could urge me to change it or adjust it. She is my fine critic.

'I don't like poor men admiring me' - Fast rising actress, Lizzy Gold

Nollywood actress, Lizzy Gold, says the major criteria for any man to woo her is that he must be rich and that no poor man should even think of admiring her picture, let alone 'toast' her. In a chat with Entertainment Express, Lizzy also said bank alerts turn her on. What she said below...
"A poor man shouldn't even think of admiring my picture, not to talk of wooing me. I love money so much so I can't marry a poor man. I don't even want a man who is merely comfortable. My interest and affection are for millionaires, if possible billionaires. Money means so much to me, in fact money makes me wet. Sometimes when I imagine so much money in my account, I could just get wet. Bank alert is like my best friend. I just need to imagine so much money in my account and I am turned on. When I get a credit alert on my account, Oh my God, I get turned on immediately.
Lizzy says asides having money and being willing to spend it on her, another very important thing she looks out for in a man is that he must be well 'endowed'.

Nollywood Actor, Hafiz Oyetoro aka Saka Talks About Secret Of His Success

Comic actor, Hafiz Oyetoro aka Saka who won the “The best comedian actor award” for the African Viewers Choice Award last year in a recent interview, talks about the secret of his successful life.


The MTN Ambassador  who was once quoted in an interview as saying "I Have Murdered Poverty" when asked if he is a Rich man he said:

"Honestly, I am not a rich man, but I am comfortable, satisfied and happy".

On  the secret of your successful  life

It is simple, all you need is patience, humility, staying focused and most importantly, having the fear of God. It is only God that can give a man success. I have been in this industry for about 25- 26 years, but look at when my time to shine came. You cannot get to the top all of a sudden. The rhythm of life is step by step, stage by stage and from simple to complex.

If you do not follow this rule of life, you become irrelevant. God blesses what he finds in your hand. People should always learn to appreciate what is in their hands, never be satisfied with what you have achieved now, because the degree of work and quality of value you add to the society makes you an individual.

The star actor has been faced with a lot of challenges this year from the loss of his father, to his office getting burnt down in a fire outbreak and losing very important documents.


The Oyo State star actor is a graduate of Dramatic Arts from Obafemi Awolowo University also has Masters from Institute of African studies in University of Ibadan.

The happily married father is currently running my Ph. D at the University of Ibadan and he is a lecturer in Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education, Ijanikin, Lagos in the Theatre Arts Department.

"I Moved To Ghana To Get Closer To God" - Nollywood Actor Hanks Anuku Reveals

The Actor was made the Special Adviser to Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta State on Tourism and Entertainment in 2010, but he later left the job. After that, he was in the news for being delivered from alcohol and mental illness by Prophet TB Joshua.

In a recent interview, he explained the reason behind his relocation to Ghana.

Why did you leave Nigeria for Ghana?

Yea, as you can see, I am in Ghana now. It was a decision I made to get a few things for myself and to get closer to God because so many things happened to me in Nigeria that I was not happy about.

Does that mean you wouldn't have been closer to God if you were in Nigeria?

I would always have time for anybody and appreciate the presence of a man or woman of substance.

What do you do here presently?

Apart from filmmaking, I am into the development of grassroots’ talents in music and filmmaking.

How is that going?

It has been very great.

Are Ghanaians embracing you?

You know, love thy neighbour like thyself is my tool across the Nile unto Jericho. I think everybody loves me. I don’t know who the enemy is. So, whoever the enemy is, I am sorry, I forgive all haters. That is what it is.

Should your fans in Nigeria be expecting something from you soon?

Well, everything depends on God. He is my provider. If God wants me to go to Nigeria, no problem, I mean, as long as you are serious with the job.

Read How Snake Disrupts NYSC Passing-Out Parade In Zamfara

A snake on Tuesday disrupted the passing-out parade of the NYSC Batch “A” at the Orientation Camp at Tsafe in Zamfara.

According to eyewitnesses, the snake might have come from one of the dilapidated structures at the camp and could have been in search of shelter or food.

It was gathered that the snake tried to make its way to the platform where special guests at the occasion were seated during the course of the ceremony.

Some of the corps members, as well as some of the special guests, took to their heels to avoid the reptile.

However, some of the corps members ran after the snake to kill it, using sticks and their boots.

Earlier, in her address to mark the end of the camp, the scheme’s Co-ordinator in the state, Mrs. Ruth Bakka, had urged the corps members to be of good behaviour.

She also urged them to be security-conscious during their 11-month primary assignment in the state.

The state co-ordinator commended the attitude displayed by the corps members while in camp, and advised them to remain disciplined wherever they found themselves in the future.
