Star actor, Jim Iyke, recently visited an orphanage in Gishiri, a suburb
of Abuja, the capital city of Nigeria. The actor has shown a serious
interest in charitable activities over the years. He visited Kenya last
December in support of the Make a Change campaign – a charity project
founded by Christopher Grey, and Jamaican dancehall queen, Cécile.
Black Celebrities Who Have Allegedly Bleached Their Skin
Whether it was admitted or denied, a lot of Black Hollyweird is getting lighter for some reason and a lot of people suspect skin bleaching.
Some can argue that celebrities are influenced to do it because of the better treatment lighter complexions receive in Hollywood for television, magazines, and better endorsements.
However, we can all agree that these celebs have gotten a little lighter over the years and it ain’t just bad makeup.
Hit the flip and peep for yourself, let us know which ones you think are bleaching
God has really made him smile in the midst of the storm. First it was the lovely goal he scored yesterday, now the wonderful gift of the baby...God has indeed made him laugh.
The proud Papa made the announcement on twitter today. This is the first child for the couple who tied the knot in May, 2012. Congrats to the couple.
In a revealing interview she granted Jara, a TV programme on Africa
Magic channel on DSTV, the singer’s wife reconstructed the scenario of
how Tuface proposed to her and why he chose her among the other women in
his life.
In her words:
“He called me up one morning that I should meet him in Lagos so that
we can hang out. He said his friends are around and they want to take us
out. So, I agreed to see him. I remember it was a particular friend of
ours that was around that day, although I would not like to mention his
name.
“And when I got to Lagos that day, he was like ‘let’s go to the
club.’ When we got to the club, the place was totally empty. Obviously
confused, I asked him, “baby, what are we doing here, it’s empty” and
before I turned back, my brothers and friends showed up. I was so
perplexed that I had to ask what everybody was doing around there and
they said they heard we were there and they came.
“Just about few minutes after, Tuface picked up the microphone and I
thought he was going to do all the normal hypes he does when he goes to
the club. But he shocked me. He started saying things about how I have
always been there for him since day one. How I have sacrificed alot for
him. How I have cried and stood strong during his trying moments.
The truth is, he said so many things I can’t remember now. He said so
many wonderful things that sent me into another world and I couldn’t
even hear the other things he said.
“I didn’t even know when he walked up to me and he said “Please, will
you marry me?” And I was like, “Can you imagine? What’s going on here?”
he was saying so many things that I can’t even remember. It all blew my
head.
“Although, it has not been easy since we had our traditional
marriage. The truth is, it is not easy to be married to a superstar but I
still live my normal life.
Right now, I feel 24 hours is not enough for me because I have my
husband, my daughter and myself to take care of. It has really been
crazy and God knows I have been trying my best. I wish I have more time
to handle all of this.
“Just because of the lack of time, I haven’t been able do my normal
acting jobs. I would still go on to do it soon because my husband is
very supportive of my career and everything I do.
As a married woman, I would be more selective with the roles I take
now. I would do away from controversial roles but that doesn’t mean if I
see a good storyline I wouldn’t do it.
“One of the reasons I would be careful with the roles I take up now
is because I am married. And when you are married you have to be able to
manage your career such that it won’t affect your home front.
In any case, you need to learn some tips which will help you carry on
in the marriage. But before that, you need to be sure that the man
loves you as much as you love him.
Even if it is not as much as you love him, but be sure he loves you.
You also need to be patient. Men are like babies and babies are very
annoying. You need to scold them but you should pamper them more. You
need to work on yourself so that you can be proud of yourself. Don’t
fake anything.
“Very soon, Tuface and I plan to do our white wedding and you will
all be invited and even though it will be something quiet. We don’t want
to make too much noise about it. We just want a beautiful and memorable
event.”
The pair separated last summer after Stewart admitted to cheating (watch Kristen Stewart cheating pic) on Pattinson with married Snow White And The Huntsman director, Rupert Sanders.
Robert Pattinson has called time on their relationship once again over the weekend.
“She flew to LA and was supposed to be Rob’s date for the Golden Globes, but he told her he wants to cool it off,” an insider alleged.
“He loves her, but would rather go back to being good friends so they can rebuild their trust and focus on work after Twilight.
“Kristen’s upset but understands. She shouldn’t have pushed him to reconcile after her infidelity. She’s hoping he’ll come round and time will be a great healer.
“He was getting so much pressure to ditch her. His friends told him to focus on his career and said she was wrecking his chances.”
40 year old Mikel Ruffinelli is officially the woman with the largest hips in the world. Her hips are 8 feet in circumference, she weighs 5ft4 and 420 pounds, and consumes 3,000 calories a day to keep her "bootylicious" figure.
Mikel is happily married with 4 children and enjoys a great sex life with her husband.In her words" "My husband finds my shape sexy and we have an amazing time in bed – there’s no position we can’t do! He tells me I’m beautiful every day. Men don’t like skinny girls, they like an hourglass figure ”
Wow! Do you agree with her. More pictures after the cut...
The 34-year-old glamour model kept herself well-oiled on the morning after the conjugal night before.
She stripped to nearly-there bikini bottoms and rubbed in suncream as she soaked up the sun with groom Kieran Hayler, who proposed on Christmas Day.
In a touching show of affection, hunky part-time stripper Kieran, 25, attentively adjusted his blushing bride’s sunlounger as Katie carefully cradled her famous 32DD boobs.
Clearly enjoying their break in the Bahamas, the lovebirds canoodled on plastic loungers — reserved for Mr and Mrs Hayler.
Katie even ignored a slice of pizza in her own mouth to feed a piece to her man as she recovered from wedding No 3.
The romantic pair had gone barefoot for their surprise ceremony on Wednesday — as we revealed yesterday.
The wedding — which Katie held on the advice of a psychic — was not as extravagant as her first to singer Peter Andre.
During her nuptials with Aussie Pete, Katie — also known as Jordan — travelled in a fairytale pumpkin coach and wore a pink diamond encrusted designer dress.
For her beach ceremony with bodybuilding plasterer Kieran she sported much less pricey, costume-style jewellery.
But The Sun columnist insisted her marriage is totally genuine, telling her friends: “I’m in love.”
Katie wed Pete, 35, in 2005 after they met on I’m a Celebrity, but divorced in September 2009.
She got hitched to cage fighter Alex Reid, 36, in 2010, but the marriage broke down in less than a year.
LEANDRO Penna smirks as he reads about his ex Katie Price’s third wedding in yesterday’s Sun — less than four months after they split.
The Argentine model, 26, who was axed from ITV dive show Splash, didn’t look at all jealous as he strolled through London. Perhaps he was boded of her anyway.
JOHNNY Depp is down in the dumps after bisexual girlfriend Amber Heard left him — and went on holiday with a stunning model. Amber, 26, ended the seven-month romance as she and Marie de Villepin, daughter of ex-French premier Dominique, flew to Paris. She is said to have ditched Johnny over his moods and grown “very close” to Marie. Pals said the actor, 49 — Tonto in a new Lone Ranger movie — is “cut up” as they had even discussed starting a family. One said: “He hasn’t been this smitten for a long time. “He’s been head-over-heels in love with Amber. But just as she started to love him back, she got cold feet. “They seemed happy and were even talking of marriage and babies. “But Amber grew fed up of him and his moods.”
The US actress and Marie, also 26, have frequently been seen together as they spend a week in the romantic French capital. They have headed out for cinema dates on Marie’s scooter. The pair were introduced last October by Amber’s artist ex-girlfriend Tasya Van Ree, 36. The source added: “They’re very close and some friends say they’re a couple.” Last June Johnny split from Vanessa Paradis, 39 — mum of his two children — after 14 years together. He fell for Amber on the set of their movie The Rum Diary. He moved her into a £10million Tennessee mansion and even named a bay on his Bahamas isle Amber’s Cove after her
Things are really looking up for Kas Shobayo, aka Kas. Evidence? The UK-based Nigerian artiste recently bought his mother a house in the UK. Second, he is set to move into his own mansion in Lagos.
Yet the singer is still desperately searching for his digital camera, which got lost when he was having fun in a newly opened night club on Lagos Island last December.
Kas shocked some of his hangers-on when he offered a reward of $1,000 in return for the camera. Why? The singer allegedly told some trusted staff of the nightclub that the missing digital camera, which was only worth a few British Pounds, actually contained a few tell-tale photos that he really cannot afford to lose.
Meanwhile, tale bearers have a remix version of the story. They alleged that the real contents of the camera are photographs of a nude Kas with a certain controversial and sultry Nollywood actress that has been in the news lately. And the latter is actually playing with his flutes!
He recently doubled the reward.
“That digital camera contains my private stuff that I am not ready to share with the public. I’ll give $2,000 to anyone or group of persons who are in its possession,” Kas said with pain in his voice.
We can only hope a Good Samaritan will return his lost valuable in earnest before his ‘private stuff’ goes viral on the Internet.
LADY Gaga leaves a fan on The Edge Of Glory as she signs her nipples.
The US superstar invited the eager supporter backstage after she flashed her at a concert. And the frisky star swiftly dived in to 'grope' the fan's body and 'tweak' her nipples, before adding her personalised artwork - GA GA - on each boob. The thrilled fan, 22-year-old Jana Babez, posted the picture on Lady Gaga's Little Monsters fan site. She said: "Gaga picked me out from the audience calling me a "pink princess". "I jumped over the railings losing a shoe along the way (thankfully the security guard handed it back to me). "When I saw Gaga I flashed my boobs at her, and at 55,000 audience members. "She grabbed my boobs and then looked at me shocked and asked 'wait how old are you!?' When I said 22 she said "Haha that's fine and continued groping me." "When I went backstage later she pulled my top down backstage and squealed 'You're the Little Monster who flashed me!' She then tweaked my nipples in her transfixed/stoned state and insisted on signing them. "Afterwards she looked at her masterwork and said 'Please don"t get that tattooed, I know it's my name but's it's really ugly'. "She wrote GA on the one boob and GA on the other. LIFE MAD."
There have been prophecies, and visions about the angel of death
being at work in Nigeria’s movie industry following the number of deaths
recorded last year. Nollywood actress, Benita Nzeribe has however said
that she refuses to believe “the evil prophecy”.
“I don’t know why people get too pessimistic about such things.
People are saying that a lot of people in Nollywood are dying. A lot of
bankers are dying too. It’s not narrowed down to Nollywood alone. It is
the way God has willed it; if God did not allow it, it wouldn’t happen,”
Benita told HVP recently.
“I say no those people who say that the angel of death is upon
Nollywood. Such an angel has not seen Nollywood, it does not have our
address and it will never see us. I am passionate about it, and I reject
that. I will not believe in the idea that the angel of death visited
us. I don’t like to hear that,” she added.
Benita Nzeribe has not been seen on screen in recent times; the
sultry actress disclosed that she took a break for about a year to take
care of a lot of things, including her NGO, but she says she’s back now. “My NGO focuses on women and children. I don’t blow it or talk about
it much. I’m just inspired to give back to society, and I get my reward
from God.”
BenitaNzeribe says her break is over, and she’s back working. “I am
hosting a show for Malta Guiness Low Sugar in the east, and I’m also
beginning shooting for a cinema movie in the next two weeks. In the next
one or two months, I should be able to talk boldly to the press about
my plans for movie production. But what I have in mind is still in the
incubation stage now. I don’t want to jump the gun so I don’t get into a
tight corner.”
Everyone wants to know who the lucky man dating a beautiful celebrity
is, and for Benita Nzeribe, she’s got a man whose name she wouldn't disclose or their plans. “I’m not married,” she says, “but obviously,
there is a man in my life, but I’m not talking about him or about
marriage yet. I am not giving you any gossip about my personal life. It
is beautiful as you can see. Just keep your fingers crossed and watch
what happens in the future”.
Alhaji Wasiu Alabi, popularly known as Pasuma he divulged some
closely guarded secrets regarding his past and his unmarried status.
YOU once said growing up in Mushin must have been a rough and tough time for you. How rough exactly was your childhood?
Talking about rough, there is something about Mushin that people run
away from. Being a Mushin person, people don’t usually want to associate
with you or give you things. When someone asks you where you are from
and you say Mushin, they don’t want to have anything to do with you. But
I saw it as a challenge. When I was a young boy, I attended Muslim
Mission Primary School. Afterwards, I moved to Nigeria Model High
School, Idioro also in Mushin. I decided that I wanted to get out of the
place and make people know that it is not only rascally people that
come out of Mushin. If we can talk of someone like Honourable Funmilayo
Tejuoso, Honourable Ganiyu Solomon, Honourable Muiz Bamire all from
Mushin making a difference, I determined that I could do better than
they did. And thank God, for where I am today and I am proud to say it
anywhere that I am from Mushin. Are you not married or you’re divorced?
I am not married but I have children.
In Yoruba culture, a 45-year-old man is expected to have been married.
Exactly. So why aren’t you married?
I don’t want to rush into it. I would have been married earlier but it
didn’t work out. The person I was supposed to have married was Ayo
Adesanya. I love her so much. Everybody in my family knew her and knew
that I wanted to marry her. What happened?
You journalists caused it. Nobody outside of my family knew about our
relationship then and that was the way we wanted it. But one day we went
together to a show and some journalists saw us together and they
slammed our pictures on the front page of the newspaper. It was The Fame
newspaper then. Apparently, they had been hearing the rumour but they
could not confirm it so they didn’t use the story. But this day when
they saw us together, they just used the picture, without even
interviewing us. When the wahala started, Ayo couldn’t handle it
anymore. I would call her that I want to see her and she would say she
was busy. I could feel it that she was withdrawing from the relationship
and I had to let her go. Did you feel you made a mistake letting her go?
Well, there’s something about love. If you love someone, you’d want them
to be happy. If their happiness is not with you, you’ll have to let
them go. She couldn’t handle the pressure and she obviously was not
happy again. So I had to let her go. It seems you’re still in love with her. Are you?
(Laughs). She’s been married and has a child. Although the relationship didn’t last. If Ayo says yes to your marriage proposal today, would you still marry her?
Yes! If she says yes today, we’ll head for the altar tomorrow.
So you’re still in love with her.
Yes. Are you dating someone now?
I am free. I am currently single but I have a friend. Did you date Iyabo Ojo?
No. Thank you for that question. Let people know that she and I are not
dating. She is my very good friend and we are very close. Outside of
that, we are not dating. We have not dated before, and we are not
dating. The idea has not crossed our minds. Now that people have planted the idea into your mind, would you consider it?
No. We are friends and that is enough for us. I am not dating Iyabo. Please help me tell them. You’ve given almost 30 years of your life to music. Any other plans for the future?
Let’s wait and see what the future has for me. You have to understand
that you have to move with time and seasons. My own is that I want
people to think of me and say this guy has tried for the industry and
for the country. I want people to say I want to become like Pasuma. I
want people to live a free and purposeful life. My future is in God’s
hands. I pray for long life though and to be able to use that life to
make significant impact on people’s lives and to make the industry
bigger.
There is something about the first
lady of EME Records, Niyola that grabs your attention and locks it down
whenever she’s in the spotlight. Eniola Akinbo popularly known as Niyola
discovered her affinity for music at the age of 8 and has nurtured her
musical skills over the years. Her unique story started in 2000 when she
took part in the AMEN starlet competition and emerged as first runner
up. Since then, she has had record deals with West Side Records, Trybe
Records and most recently EME Records where she was featured on several
tracks on the EME Empire Mates State of Mind album alongside leading
Nigerian acts, Wizkid, Banky W and Skales; including her debut single as
the EME First Lady, titled ‘Don’t Delay Me (Don’t Go There)’. In this
exclusive interview with Adeola Adeyemo, Niyola takes us on a journey through her musical career, speaks about her personality, her record deal and being sexy!
You must have been very busy
during the holidays with the EME Concert and your performances at other
shows. How was your experience?
It was really hectic. As a matter of fact, I’ve lost so much weight and
I’m now trying to get it back on. But I was doing what I love to do. I
had a lot of fun but I’m back to work. I’m back in the studios now
recording.
Are you working on any new songs?
This January as I promised last year, I’m going to drop two singles.
I’ve also been doing some local and international collaborations which I
can’t talk about now but you will hear soon.
Journey to EME How does it feel like being the first lady of one of the hottest record labels around now? I feel pretty special because having left the industry for so
long, over three years, and coming back to be on EME is special. I’m
thankful to God and to EME for actually spotting something special in me
to think that they would sign me. Many people didn’t know about
you before you joined EME. What was the music industry like in the past
and which record label were you signed on to?
The industry has changed and there are a new crop of artistes around.
Back then it was Sound Sultan, Faze, Baba Dee, Sasha, myself and
Trybesmen, but the industry has grown and there are a whole lot more
people now. I was on West Side Records. I had two singles out on West
Side, one was Call My Name and the other was Bring It On. This was around 2008/2009. Before then I was under Trybe Records. That’s interesting. What was the acceptance of your music like when you were under these two record labels?
Music is not what it used to be back then. It is more accepted now. Back
then, it was strictly about people who wanted to do music for the
passion because we all went through a lot. People thought music was for
those who dropped out of school.
Why did you leave Trybe Records?
The Trybesmen split and eLDee travelled to the US and I had to leave. How did you move on after the split?
I was doing music on my own for a while. Freestyle had a production
outfit so we were working together on some stuff but while I was working
with him, I did a song with Faze and somehow I go on the same record
label with Faze called West Side. I had an album off West Side but it
was unfortunate that immediately the album was released, my contract
expired. I also had two videos. It was also around that time I took a
break from music. This was between 2009 and 2012. What did you do during this break?
Plenty stuff. I went to rehabilitate myself (laughs). After passing through two record labels and taking a long break, how did the record deal with EME come about?
I had always known Banky from back in the days. He saw me then and asked
why I wasn’t doing music. I told him I really wanted to do music but I
didn’t think I had enough resources. I was actually trying to make a
comeback then and I did a song with Skales. It was during that period
that he suggested we should work on a song. Around that time, there was a
rape incident at ABSU and he was worried that no female had come out to
sing about and we decided to do a song together and that is how we
started until I eventually got signed.
The First Lady of EME How does it feel like being the only female on a record label with other male artistes?
I feel special. Everybody is constantly looking out for me. They are all like my brothers. Tell me about their individual personalities. What comes to your mind when you think of each of them?
Banky is like the father of the family. He looks out for everybody,
suffice to say that he watches over everybody. Skales is very reserved
but he can come out of his shell sometimes. Shaydee is the clown of the
group, always making everybody laugh. DJ Xclusive is also a clown.
Wizkid is also very funny. Everybody is unique in their own way.
How is the relationship between everyone on the team?
Everybody is cool with everybody. It’s like one big, happy, playful
family. We have our times when we disagree, but we disagree to agree.
Eight out of ten times, we are always supporting each other, personally
and when it comes to music because that’s what a family should be like. There have been a number of
splits between artistes and their record labels in recent times. You
witnessed one while you were with Trybe Records. Do you have any fears
that you might ever be in that situation at EME?
No, not at all. Rumours are being spread about
an impending split between EME and another prominent member of the team.
Is there any truth in this?
I wouldn’t know anything about that but one thing for certain is that
there are contracts and agreements in every relationship any artiste has
with his record label. If anybody goes out saying there is going to be a
split, it’s funny because it is what is stated in the contract that
would be done. So tell me, what special thing do you bring to the table. What makes you stand out?
First off, I’m the only female, that’s got to be special. I have my own
uniquneness with my sound; my sound is different from everybody else. As
much as I’m a standalone entity, I also support everybody else as they
support me.
How would you describe your sound?
I’m still doing a lot of experimenting, I wouldn’t want to put myself in
a box. But I would basically say I do contemporary R&B pop. If I
feel like doing Soul, I would. There was a lot of anticipation
built up to the release of your “Don’t Delay Me” music video. But when
it was released, quite a number of people were not happy with it.
You can’t please everybody but I think in life and in this path that I
have chosen, what matters most is you do your best. If you do whatever
you do to the best of your ability, then you’d be satisfied. When people
talk, you’d know that you did the best that you could do because you
know you can’t please everybody. But there is always room for
improvement.
Why did you choose Lynxxx as your love interest in the video?
Because he is good looking. Was it your idea to use him?
Banky and I had been talking about how we wanted to bring into the
picture different guys who had known faces. We actually wanted to use
some other people, about three guys, but they weren’t available for that
period so we had to use Lynxxx and Gbenro and that is because they are
good looking.
The Sexy Diva Tell me about your unique personality and how it reflects in your music and in your message. I am very reserved, I wouldn’t say I’m quiet. A lot of people can
mistake that at times for cockiness but I’m really just a reserved
person. I believe that everybody has something special and I think that
my strength is in the talent that I have. With my music, I realize that
one of my strong points is being able to reach out to people and make
them feel better about themselves, let them know they can be better. I
believe God has given me a platform where I can reach out to more than
one person at a time. So with my music, I’m passing across a message. When people see Niyola on their
screens and in pictures, they see a sexy lady. What is the relationship
between being sexy and succeeding as a female artiste? Do you really
have to be sexy to sell your music?
I always tell people that sexiness is not something that can be bought;
you either are sexy or not. I’m how I am not as a result of what I’ve
tried to be. This is who I am, I cannot help it. God created every woman
as eye candies to the men. God created us for the men. The only thing
that makes a difference is that if you let people see that this is all
you’re about, then there is a problem. Yes, I’m sexy; I’m not afraid to
admit that I’m sexy. I’m proud to be sexy but that is not all that there
is to me. I’m somebody’s sister, one day I’m going to be a mother, I’m
somebody’s friend, somebody’s child… I don’t see anything wrong in being
who I am. This is what comes naturally. If people see it, it’s not my
fault. If any female artiste doesn’t consider herself as being sexy, what are the chances she has of succeeding in the music industry?
Look for your strength. There is something unique to everybody. If
you’re not sexy, there must be something about you that is special.
Maybe it’s your voice, maybe it’s your smile. Look at Jill Scott, the
special thing about her is her smile. Her smile would melt anybody’s
heart and that is her strong “selling point” like D’Prince would say. So
look for your selling point and bring it to the fore.
Growing up, Fashion & Relationships What is your educational background like? I studied Journalism at the Independent Journalism Center owned
by PM News, and I went on to study English Language at the University
of Lagos. I also did some courses in Travel & Tourism and I’m still
studying. That’s interesting. Did you ever work as a journalist?
I was working with a magazine, Podium International sometime ago as an
editor and I used to write as well. But music is too strong a passion
that I can’t suppress it. I feel like that is what I was born to do. Tell me about your family and growing up. What are the experiences that stand out?
I come from a very large family. We were 13 but now we’re 12 because I
lost my sister. I’m the last of everybody. I spent a lot of time in
boarding school and it taught me to be very independent. My father was
very strict so there was no room for being spoilt. He believed that
because I was the last child, I had chances of being spoilt which is why
I was the only one who went to boarding school. I felt he was being
wicked but now I have him to thank for how I turned out. How did you come about the name Niyola?
My name is Eniola. My dad used to call me Eni-yola. When did you discover your passion for music?
I actually discovered that I could sing when I was about eight years old
courtesy of my father. I always liked to sing. I would sing while doing
my house chores. I used to sing along to Diana Ross and Mariah Carey’s
songs. In 2000, I entered for a competition at the AMEN Awards and I was
the first runner up. Talking fashion now, I notice that you wear the colour black quite often. Just like today, you are wearing black.
I’m wearing black today because I’m mourning Dr Irawo Adamolekun.
Oh, please accept my condolences. Was he close to you?
He wasn’t that close to me but I knew him because he was my manager’s
very good friend. I saw him during the Christmas period. We partied
together one night and he was making fun of me, telling me “you look like you’re not Nigerian, are you Nigerian?” I feel very bad about his death. We are doing his candle light procession today. So black is not really your colour?
I actually do love black, I can’t lie. But I also like other colours. My favourite colour is orange and I like green. How would you describe your style?
I just like to keep it simple, yet classy. I don’t like extravagance. Is Niyola in any relationship at the moment?
Nope Why not?
Just because. Just because… ?
Just because why do I have to be in a relationship? There are always exceptions so maybe I’m one of those exceptions. What are the qualities your ideal guy should have?
I don’t believe there’s anything like an ideal guy. But I like an
intelligent guy with a sense of humour who has an understanding of God
because I believe that if you love God, you would love man. And he must
be mature. Let’s say a guy comes along with these qualities you’ve mentioned. Will you be ready to start a relationship with him? I don’t know, until then.

The recently married actor said in an interview this week that he only
hit his ex-girlfriend and mother of his child, Yinka Solomon, just once,
but the lady is telling a different story. She says he beat her so much
she lost her first pregnancy. What she told Bononline.tv below
We met in 2007. We started living together right from 2008, he was my first love. I have
never dated any other guy in my life. He dis-flowered me, that made me
submit my self to him, hoping that when ever he has money we can do
introduction and other things.
He was a womanizer, a gold digger, he collected all the money in my Account
before my eyes was opened. When he saw that I didn’t have money again, he
started misbehaving, bringing women into the house.
I had my first pregnancy in 2007, but due to constant beating, I lost
the pregnancy. I had another one in 2008 and gave birth Feb 2009.
Thank God I have a mother if not I would have been suffering. 3 months
after the naming of my baby, he brought his girlfriend into the house. I

He told me he was sorry that the lady
would only spend the weekend in the house and I agreed. But a week

The
third season of the ever popular music reality show, Nigerian Idol is up to a
promising start as the show enters the top thirty stage. This stage will see
ten contestants battle it out every week for three weeks and then a wild card
show with some of the old contestants given the opportunity to make it into the
next stage of the show. Twelve in total will emerge victorious and go on to the
core elimination stage of the show.
Fan
favourite and Afrobeat Legend Femi Kuti is unavoidably absent as he is on tour
outside the country but he is ably represented by Naeto-C who in his first
appearance on the show played the bad guy by drilling the contestants. He
however mentioned that it was only to gear them to step up their game in the
competition.
The
Head of Events and Sponsorship, Etisalat Nigeria, Modupe Thanni said that she
was impressed with the level of talent that the competition had to offer,
stating that the competition will be even stiffer than the previous editions.
She also added that Etisalat as a proud supporter of the aspirations of youths
is supporting the competition in an even bigger way this season.
The
first ten of the top thirty saw return contestant Obinna Michael AKA Mr. Byno
making it to the top thirty stage of the competition. Speaking on his progress,
he said, “Making it to this stage is not a small feat, there were many talented
contestants but it is my hope this year that I would progress past this point
in this season”. Contestants performed songs of their choice by foreign
artistes in a bid to show their skills before the Judges.
Afrobeat
legend and Nigerian Idol Judge, Femi Kuti, was unavoidably absent from the show
but was ably represented by Naeto-C as well as his fellow Judges, Yimka Davies
and Jeffry Daniels. Speaking on the performances, Jeffry Daniel advised the
contestants to focus more on their vocal skills and less on their showmanship
as the show was about finding the best singer.
This season is bigger and better as winner will go home with N20
million worth of prizes, including N7.5 million in cash, a brand new SUV, and a
recording contract with a record label. The first runner–up will receive the
sum of N1.5 million and a saloon car which will be presented by Etisalat. The show airs on STV, NTA network and AIT.
