2FACE'S Wife, ANNIE MACAULAY, Open's Boutique in Lagos

The wife of 'African Queen' crooner, 2Face Idibia, Annie Macaulay, has
opened a boutique in Lagos. The mother of one, Isabella, according to
information gathered by our source, was recently opened for business
officially.

The store is named '4Eva Young' and it is located at the popular Ikota
Shopping Complex, Lekki, Lagos. Annie has now joined one of the few
Nollywood actresses that have taken to fashion stores to earn extra
money away from their known profession, acting.

In May 2012, Annie and 2Face got married in a secret wedding that only
had few family members in attendance.

WIZKID- "DAVIDO Is Not A Threat To Me"

A few years ago when rave of the moment, Wizkid dropped out of Lead
City University in his second year, not a few thought he made the
wrong decision.

Although he chose to follow the music path, the artiste, whose real
name is Ayo Balogun, does not underestimate the importance of
education.

''I don't regret stopping school for a bit because it did give me all
the time to push and work on my music. I'm definitely going back to
school. Education is very necessary and I hold it in high esteem.''

Just three years down the line, the 22-year-old-singer who fathered
his first child with a fan last year, constantly rakes millions of
bucks from gigs, world tours and album sales. Sounding every bit
prophetical, Wizkid confesses that he foresaw he was going to be a
successful singer.

"Yes I had hoped and dreamt for all this, but I didn't expect it would
happen this fast. I am 22 and I owe all my achievements to God. Yes I
am oftentimes overwhelmed by all I have achieved at my age and I stay
grateful because it keeps me going.''

When he launched his debut album in front of a capacity-filled hall at
the Eko Hotel and Suites, Lagos, in August last year the young singer,
fondly called Wizzy, made history by becoming the youngest Nigerian
artiste to attract such a crowd to an album launch. That moment he
says, remains a career moment.

"I am always humbled and excited to perform with artistes I grew up
listening to.I am constantly overwhelmed.

"Performing at the HMV Apollo was an amazing experience for me.
Winning a MOBO, BET, Channel O award and the MTV Europe nomination
have definitely been highpoints.''

Up until the emergence of a rival singer, Davido, Wizkid held sway in
his class. Now facing competition from Omo Baba Olowo, he says he
never ever gets threatened.

"All the stories of beef and quarell between both of us are mere
rumours. Davido is my friend and I respect him.I don't consider him a
threat. We both make good music that people love.''

The female fans can no doubt have enough of the young singer who says
he knows where to draw the line.

Amidst laughter, he says, "I love all my fans, male and female. I try
to show my appreciation anyway I can.

"I am thankful for where I am today and I'm excited about what's
coming next for me. I respect and look up to my bros, Banky W, D'Banj
and 2face."

Wizkid no doubt, has a bright future and will not be quitting music
anytime soon.

"Music is my life, I can't stop making music but if I wasn't, maybe
I'd be a football player.''

On how he would love to be remembered, he keeps it simple. "As a man
who never gave up on his dreams and succeeded at everything he worked
hard to accomplish."

Alaafin of Oyo : Police Invites Monarch to police Station

The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi has described as 'desecration
of the sacred traditional institution' for the police to invite a
monarch to their station to make a statement.

Oba Adeyemi instead posited that the police should go to the palace of
the monarch to make enquiries.

He said this in reaction to the invitation of Sabiganna of Iganna, Oba
Soliu Oyemonla Azeez, by the police on the invasion of the farmlands
of his subjects by some Fulani herdsmen while speaking at the 3rd year
coronation anniversary of Sabiganna of Iganna, regarding the action as
ridiculous and insulting to the traditional institution of obaship.

According to Oba Adeyemi, "A situation where traditional rulers were
being called upon to come to police station to make statements is
ridiculous."

He said a police man should go to the Oba's palace to make enquiries
from him and not the other way round. "This kind of nonsense must
stop", he warned.

The traditional ruler also advised the Oyo State Government to
encourage the establishment of a bank for the people of Iganna in the
Iwajowa Local Government Area of Oke Ogun in Oyo State.

He stated that it was risky for the people living in the area to
travel about 25 kilometres to another town before they could deposit
or withdraw money.

Alaafin said the situation was a major challenge to the Deputy
Governor, Chief Moses Alake Adeyemo, a retired bank official.

While speaking, Chief Adeyemo stressed further that the call for the
establishment of the bank was necessary to save the residents from
armed robbery attacks.

He added that absence of a single bank in the whole of Iganna was an
indication that the town was lagging behind in the area of social and
infrastructural development.

Oba Adeyemi also tasked the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN
administration to relocate the local government headquarters from
Iwere-Ile back to Iganna where it was initially located.

Hillary Clinton to Step Down as Secretary of State Probably 'Days' After Inauguration

Hillary Clinton was pictured in Washington DC on Thursday after a
week out of the spotlight she did not answer questions on whether she
would run for president after she steps down following Obama's
inauguration in January.

She's back: Hillary Clinton was pictured in Washington DC on Thursday
after a week out of the spotlight Last week, she embarked on a tour of
the Balkans, meeting officials in Serbia, Albania, Croatia and Kosovo
- far away from the electoral fray as Barack Obama faced off with Mitt
Romney in a successful attempt to win four more years as President.

Rivals? Clinton could have been distancing herself from Obama to
prepare the ground for a 2016 run

The couple apparently voted together near their home in Chappaqua, New
York on Tuesday evening, but their trip to the polls was not
publicised or photographed.

Hillary finally resurfaced on Thursday, when she presided over a
ceremony to grant U.S, citizenship to children born abroad and adopted
by American parents.

She has repeatedly claimed that she will not run for President again
after her failed bid in 2008, and has added that she will not seek any
public office after leaving State.

However, many pundits are sceptical of her protestations, and the main
article this morning on Politico, a news website popular with
insiders, anointed her the frontrunner for the
Democratic presidential nomination in 2016.

Clinton's decision to stay out of the limelight could, therefore, have
been a hedging strategy designed to distance her from Obama in the
event that he lost.

Strangely, given her pivotal role in the Obama administration, Hillary
seems to have ended up being less important to the President than Bill
is.

The 42nd President, rather than his wife, was the first person Obama
phoned after Romney conceded defeat.

Now that Obama has been re-elected, some expect Mrs Clinton to grow
closer to him in an attempt to portray herself as part of a winning
team - although she may calculate that by 2016, Americans will be so
tired of him that she will have to present herself as the face of
change if she is to make it to the White House.

Her movements over the next weeks, months and years will doubtless be
carefully monitored to work out whether or not she is indeed
manoeuvring for a 2016 power grab.

Clinton to Step Down Probably 'Days' After Inauguration

Wizkid tells Tonto Dikeh to correct her spellings and tenses.

"Brush up your spellings," this was what the sensational artiste
popularly called Wizkid wrote on his Twitter yesterday retweeting on
the beautiful actress, Tonto Dikeh to correct her spellings and
tenses.

Fans of the versatile actress have seen this as an insult to Tonto
Dikeh on account that Wizkid is just a University drop out unlike
Tonto who is a Petrol Chemical Engneering graduate.

Though, the two have been twitter buddies for years, and contrary to
what is widely believed, they both continue to insist there's never
been any romance between them.

Well, Wizkid might just be severing ties with Tonto Dike who many feel
is fast becoming a 'nuisance' on the social network, Twitter Wizkid on
Tuesday, November 6 expressed his displeasure at Tonto's spelling
game.

This is what Tonto tweeted on her profile; Who eva said Succezz waz a
slow procezz waz mos defntly not talking abt Mii/Businez tycoon/A
petro/chemical engr / IAMNollywood *#IAMPOKO# Tlovethyself #I luv
TerryG.

And when someone jokingly explained to Wizzy, that Miss Dike was only
being trendy, he replied – 'thats that sh*t i don't like!'.

This is the response of Tonto''I get mad when a chick doesn't type
right…wtf is succezz?!', a somewhat infuriated @Wizkidayo tweeted.

Any ardent follower of Tonto Dike on the social network knows the
controversial actress replaces her 'S's with 'Z's.

Wizkid had earlier expressed his dissatisfaction with the actress
venturing into the world of music saying that 'she needs to chill.
