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.

PHOTOS from Salawa Abeni's Daughter's 30TH Birthday Party

Salawa Abeni is one female music artiste that is adored in the
Nigerian music industry.

Her 'Senwele' style of music was the rave of the moment in the 90′s.
Her romance with Fuji music icon, General Kollington Ayinla also shot
her into limelight.

On October 14, 2012, Oriental Hotel was agog for the daughter of
Salawa as Candy 'Fabulous' Abeni celebrated her 30th birthday party
that day.

For those who graced the party, they had a lot to go home with. Part
of the gift items the celebrant gave her guest in a Louis Vuitton gift
bag were LV key holders, phone cases, cufflinks, mufflers and others.

Below are pictures from the party.

Rihanna, Seth Rogen and Snoop Dogg Tweet Support of Colorado's Marijuana Legalization

Rocky Mountain High indeed. In the wake of Colorado voters legalizing
the recreational use of marijuana on Election Day, several famous
folks have taken to Twitter to express their joy over the measure
getting passed.

"@9NEWS: Colorado becomes the first state in the country to legalize
marijuana. #Amendment64" #catchup," tweeted Rihanna.

And not surprising, Snoop Dogg and Seth Rogen, two guys whose names
are practically synonymous with the stuff, also couldn't contain their
excitement. "Shout out to Colorado," the rapper tweeted, while Rogen
actually took it once step further and wrote,

"I'm moving to Colorado." Of course, these three will be happy to know
that Colorado isn't the only place they can light up.

The state of Washington saw a similar measure get approved on Tuesday
as well. Although we're guessing they're probably already aware of
that by now.

MAN MARRIES SISTER-IN-LAW BEFORE HIS WIFE LYING DEAD IN HOSPITAL

A man in Bihar, India married his sister-in-law in the presence of the
dead body of his wife who lay in a postmortem room of a government
hospital after hanging herself from a ceiling fan on Wednesday.

Local media on Thursday reported that the incident took place at
Biharsharif town in Nalanda district of Bihar, 80km south of Patna,
capital of Bihar state.

According to reports, Pushpa Kumari, wife of Sujit Kumar from
Parasdiha village in the central Bihar's Nalanda district, committed
suicide at her in-laws' house on Wednesday.

Her body was then brought for postmortem at the local government hospital.

News of her death reached the victim's parents, who rushed to the
hospital and threatened to register a murder case against the in-laws
accusing them of forcing the girl to end her life.

The victim's parents reportedly then asked the in-law's family to
allow the widower to marry the victim's younger sister Rashmirathi,
which Sujit's family agreed to.

The story took a dramatic turn when the girl's parents asked the boy
to marry his sister-in-law then and there at the hospital.

Soon a packet of vermilion was brought from the market as the boy
married his sister-in-law by applying vermilion on her hair as the
dead body of his wife lay at the postmortem room of the hospital
apparently as a witness. [GN]

Fathia Balogun and Fuji star musician, Sulaimon “Malaika” Alao Adekunle are in hot romance

The news of entertainment personalities getting involved in a love
relationship shouldn't come as a surprise to people around the world
especially in our showbiz environment.

Many showbiz players have dated to the extent of signing life
contract. However, the new news that just filtered in from the
grapevine that star actress, Fathia Balogun and Fuji star musician,
Sulaimon "Malaika" Alao Adekunle are in hot romance is gradually
generating a lot of heat especially from close friends who are aware
of the union.

We authoritatively gathered that the two gifted showbiz personalities
are sailing together on a love boat at the moment.

Their romance is waxing stronger by the day although our sources
maintained that both Malaika and Fathia have been friends for many
years, however they moved to the next level by singing love tunes to
each other's ears.

Many could not come to terms with the romance because it is a known
fact that before now, the fuji artiste was in a love relationship with
Fathia's younger colleague, Sikiratu
Sindodo.

The love affair between Malaika and Sindodo weathered a storm not too
long ago when the latter took ill that almost terminated her life.

After she survived the illness with Malaika standing firm by her side
through the ordeal, they renewed the love affair and many thought it
would last forever- at least for now.

But before anyone knew what was happening, the good-looking fuji star
decided to embark on a love journey with the pretty ex-wife of Saidi
Balogun.

It was also gathered that both Malaika and Fathia have been friends
while Saidi Balogun was her husband but since Fathia's marriage
crashed, she has been searching for a
companion.

We gathered that Alao Malaika has been her confidant and adviser.
Besides, their relationship is very cordial as we learnt.

As a result of the relationship, Fathia Balogun has linked the Fuji
Music star with some shows in Ikorodu, where the actress resides. In
fact, it was learnt that Fathia Balogun invited Malaika to perform at
her son's birthday last month which was held in Ikorodu.

Though, the pretty actress has not said anything in the press since
the rumour started but Malaika has opened up that Fathia Balogun has
been her friend since she was dating Saidi Balogun.

"Well, Fathia Balogun has been my friend since. She is my friend till
now, Malaika said. Meanwhile, since Saidi and Fathia parted ways years
back, many moves have been made to reconcile them but all have proved
abortive.

Fathia has been linked with Corporate Pictures boss after she
separated from Saidi Balogun.

She has also been under pressure to settle down with a man which we
learnt has been the objective to hook up with the Fuji Star, Alayeluwa
Malaika.

Nevertheless, Malaika's romance with actress, Sikiratu Sindodo has
been on for almost five years now. And, he has not also denied it in
the press. We gathered that Fathia Balogun's new movie she is working
on currently would feature the Fuji Musician, sources said.

WHY ELDEE'S TRYBES RECORDS FIRED EVA ALORDIAH OVER EXCESSIVE DISAGREEMENTS

Like a celebrated victory, fast-rising female rapper, Eva Alordiah and
her ex-boss at Trybes Records, Eldee Da Don made their happiness known
publicly when the announcement of the signing was made on Twitter.

But barely five months later, the story has changed as things have
fallen apart because the centre could not hold anymore.
Some hours ago, the label, through a statement, announced the
termination of the contract between Eva and Trybes Records. Part of
the statement reads,

"Trybes Records and Eva Alordiah have agreed to terminate her
recording contract effective immediately.

"Trybes Records' vision is to discover and nurture the talents of our
artists while operating with purpose, valuing relationships with our
partners within the industry, and being persistent in creating and
releasing quality music.

"Unfortunately, over the past 5 months, Eva's vision has not aligned
with ours and thus, both parties have agreed to separate.

"We wish Eva the best in her future endeavours and plan on continuing
towards our goal of creating quality music for Nigeria and beyond."

According to what Nigeriafilms.com gathered, the major reason both
parties may have disagreed may be due to an alleged prolonged
disagreement between Eva and Trybes Records. Information reaching us
puts it that Eva has allegedly been too demanding while not meeting up
with her expectations by delivery quality works for the label.

We then further learnt that these became a big headache for the label
especially Eldee, who was said to have seen Eva as an artiste trying
to frustrate him, so, the decision to let her go her way in peace.

Nigeriafilms.com scooped that these disagreements started almost after
she put pen to papers with the label. Before parting ways with Trybes
Records, Eva didn't release any song or video under the label.
