OSAZE ODEMWINGIE AND WIFE EXPECTING FIRST CHILD

TRUE FACT : MOTHER YOU MEAN THE WORLD TOO ME: EIGHT LIES MOTHERS TELL THEIR CHILDREN

This story begins when I was a child: I was born poor. Often we hadn't
enough to eat. Whenever we had some food, Mother often gave me her
portion of rice.

While she was transferring her rice into my bowl, she would say "Eat
this rice, son! I'm not hungry." This was Mother's First Lie.

As I grew, Mother gave up her spare time to fish in a river near our
house; she hoped that from the fish she caught, she could give me a
little bit more nutritious food for my growth.

Once she had caught just two fish, she would make fish soup. While I
was eating the soup, mother would sit beside me and eat the what was
still left on the bone of the fish I had eaten, My heart was touched
when I saw it.

Once I gave the other fish to her on my chopstick but she immediately
refused it and said, "Eat this fish, son! I don't really like fish. "
This was Mother's Second Lie.

Then, in order to fund my education, Mother went to a Match Factory to
bring home some used matchboxes, which she filled with fresh
matchsticks. This helped her get some money to cover our needs. One
wintry night I awoke to find Mother filling the matchboxes by candle
light.

So I said,"Mother, go to sleep; it's late: you can continue working
tomorrow morning." Mother smiled and said "Go to sleep, son! I'm not
tired. " This was Mother's Third Lie. When I had to sit my Final
Examination, Mother accompanied me. After dawn, Mother waited for me
for hours in the heat of the sun.

When the bell rang, I ran to meet her.. Mother embraced me and poured
me a glass of tea that she had prepared in a thermos. The tea was not
as strong as my Mother's love, Seeing Mother covered with
perspiration, I at once gave her my glass and asked her to drink too.

Mother said "Drink, son! I'm not thirsty!". This was Mother's Fourth
Lie.After Father's death, Mother had to play the role of a single
parent. She held on to her former job; she had to fund our needs
alone. Our family's life was more complicated. We suffered from
starvation. Seeing our family's condition worsening, my kind Uncle who
lived near my house came to help us solve our problems big and small.

Our other neighbours saw that we were poverty stricken so they often
advised my mother to marry again. But Mother refused to remarry saying
"I don't need love. " This was Mother's Fifth Lie…………. After I had
finished my studies and gotten a job, it was time for my old Mother to
retire but she carried on going to the market every morning just to
sell a few vegetables.

I kept sending her money but she was stead fast and even sent the
money back to me. She said, "I have enough money. " That was Mother's
Sixth Lie.

I continued my part-time studies for my Master's Degree. Funded by the
American Corporation for which I worked, I succeeded in my studies.
With a big jump in my salary, I decided to bring Mother to enjoy life
in America but Mother didn't want to bother her son; she said to
me"I'm not used to high living.

" That was Mother's Seventh Lie.
In her dotage, Mother was attacked by cancer and had to be
hospitalized. Now living far across the ocean, I went home to visit
Mother who was bed ridden after an operation.

Mother tried to smile but I was heart broken because she was so thin
and feeble but Mother said,"Don't cry, son! I'm not in pain. " That
was Mother's Eighth Lie. Telling me this, her eighth lie, she died.
YES, MOTHER WAS AN ANGEL!
M – O – T – H – E – R .

"M" is for the Million things she gave me,
"O" means Only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the Tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her Heart of gold,
"E" is for her Eyes with love-light shining in them,
"R" means Right, and right she'll always be,
Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER" a word that means the world to me.

LATEST WONDERS: 28 YEAR-OLD WOMAN STEALS BABY DURING VIGIL

Detectives at the State Criminal Investigation Department
(SCID), Iyaganku have investigated the case of a 28-year-old lady, Ms
Kemi Adeoye, who was arrested by policemen from Sanyo Division for
stealing a baby in a church during a vigil service on Friday September
7, 2012.

The lady, according to police sources, had attended a church service
on the fateful day and had picked a baby where she had been laid while
her mother was praying in front of the altar. Please click to
continue.

After picking the baby, the lady had reportedly left for one of the
chalets within the church premises and locked herself in, after she
had put the baby on her back.
The mother had raised an alarm when she got back to her seat and
beheld an empty bed without her baby on it, a situation which caused
members who were at the vigil to halt the service while they trooped
out in search of the missing baby.

Simultaneously, a drama had ensued at the chalet area where one of the
church workers had noticed that there was an occupant in a chalet
which he had not allocated to anyone. Curious to know the occupant and
how he or she got the key, the workers was said to have knocked on the
door.

To his surprise, a voice from inside the room replied his enquiry on
the identity of the occupant with another question, asking who the man
was.

The door was said to have been forced open and a woman with a baby on
her back was discovered in the room. It was at that time that members
of the church searching for the baby got to where the chalets were,
only for the baby's mother to see that it was her baby the woman was
putting on her back.

The suspect was said to have been taken to the police station where
she told the police that she was sent by a woman to go and steal a
baby. She also told them that she had once taken a child from a CAC
church at Apete but could not say where she took the baby to.

Genevieve Nnaji Caught Smoking Cigarette

You sure have been intimidated about the 155-page Book, Nollywood
Till November authored by the prolific writer, actor, director and
producer, Charles Novia In one of the pages of the book published to
revealed behind the scenes of actors et all, he makes mention of a day
he caught the movie goddess, Genevieve Nnaji smoking a cigarette.

Novia reveals that it's a big shock to him. Hear him, "...I remember
on the third day of recording, one night while shooting at a clinic in
Victoria Garden City Extension, I came out for a bit of fresh air
while the technical people were setting up for the next scene. I saw
Genevieve in a dark corner of the building, smoking a cigarette.
'Whoops! You caught me', she said, laughing.

'You smoke?' I asked, a bit surprised. 'Now and then. It relaxes me '
she said. 'Do you smoke?' 'Never have. Never will. But I don't have
any problems with people who smoke though. But health wise, I hope you
stop soon.' I replied. 'I am trying to. Sit with me a bit, lets talk
about this scene.' I sat with her and I explained some few things to
her about the scene. We also talked about a bit of her stardom and how
she was coping with it. She was in a
chatty mood and it was a revealing conversation."

This will definitely shock a lot of Genevieve's fans too, the reason
is that, no one ever thought she smokes but that's actually not a big
deal, a lot of her colleagues do and they don't see
anything wrong in it, after all, everybody does it.

'Smokers are liable to die young,' I hope this surgeon advice would
make any meaning to them

John Terry quits international Football

Chelsea captain John Terry has retured from internation football with
England, with immediate effect, stating that the FA have made his
position in the team "untenable".

The 31-year-old defender is set to begin a personal hearing on Monday
to deny that he used "abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour"
against Anton Ferdinand in the match against QPR last October.

Terry has been cleared of a charge in a court of law, but faces the
FA's panel and has decided to curtail his international career.

"I feel The FA, have made my position with the national team
untenable," Terry said in a statement.

"Representing and captaining my country is what I dreamed of as a boy
and it has been a truly great honour.

"I have always given my all & it breaks my heart to make this
decision. I wish Roy and the team every success for the future."

"I would like to thank the England managers who have selected me for my 78 caps.

"I have had great pleasure in sharing that honour with all the players
that I've played with.

"I would like to thank them, the fans and my family for their support
and encouragement during my international career.

Terry made 78 appearances for the national team since making his debut
in 2003 against Serbia and Montenegro, and first captained the side in
a World Cup qualifier against Poland.

The Chelsea captain indicated that he is still willing to play for the
Blues in club football.

He added: "I now look forward to playing for Chelsea FC, and
challenging for domestic and European honours, and I want to thank the
fans and the club for their continued support."

Money-bags, Ministers of God pester me with sex –Tope Alabi

Tope Alabi is a pioneer of some sort in the contemporary Yoruba
gospel movement. Together with other gospel practitioners they have
"pushed the envelope" in redefining the boundaries of Gospel, by
blurring its ties to circular soundtracks. Make no mistake; God is
present in every song this beautiful wife and mother produce.

From the groundbreaking success of nine albums to how she manages her
male fans. The chat with EDIALE KINGSLEY is anything but boring.

WE are coming to another album launch, how has it beenso far? And the
journey to this particular album, how has it been?

I bless the name of the lord, for giving me this opportunity, for
taking me from mere clay to where I am today, I bless his holy name,
this is the 9th album, and this is not a launching, this is an
unveiling, we just want to unveil it, nobody is going to launch,

everybody is just going to pick their own, just give anything you
like, even #500 is not small, even 200naria is not too small, I just
want to bless God for taking me this far, it has been so
rough, tough and I have experienced a lot of things, turbulence,
if I can say, but yet bless the name of God, for making me stand up to
this present time.

Who writes your music?

God, He dictates for me, while write down.

How do you get inspiration?

It is God, God gives me the inspiration, and this is what I want to
tell my people this time around, like this Agbelebu, God gave me the
title. There is no way that I would write that God won't tell me the
title, I pray and do fasting; wait for God to talk, at times I would
be in the rest room, he will be talking to me, at times I would be
sleeping he would wake me up.

You look quite astonishing, you look young and beautiful, and do you
get people coming to pester you for arelationship?

There are some of them that wants to get to you by all means,whether
you want it or not, but when they get to me, they use tosee am not
that kind of person, they will now become a memberof my church. The
relationship is usually as if I have a churchand they are members, so
that's what they become. Among themare a lot of money bags, they help
my ministry now, they see meas prophetess, some of them even call me
pastor, even there are ministers of God that pester me and say they
want to get to me,but when they get to me and they see I'm not like
that, they change, you are there to change life.

Suicide bomber strikes Catholic church in north Nigeria; 2 killed, 45 injured

BAUCHI, Nigeria — A suicide car bomber attacked a Catholic church
conducting Mass in northern Nigeria on Sunday, killing two people and
wounding another 45 in a region under assault by a radical Islamist
sect, officials said.

An Associated Press journalist heard the explosion after 9 a.m. Sunday
in the city of Bauchi, which has seen a number of bombings and
shootings blamed on the sect known as Boko Haram. The blast appeared
to hit a parking lot alongside the St. John's Catholic Church in the
city.

Police and military surrounded the church and did not allow
journalists inside the cordon. Later at a nearby hospital, Bauchi
deputy police commissioner T. Stevens told journalists told that the
bomber had been stopped at the church's gate, where he detonated the
explosives packed inside his car.

Doctors cautioned more could die from their injuries.

"The situation has been brought under control," Stevens said. "We have
our men minding all areas."

Stevens said no group or individual had claimed responsibility for the
attack, though suspicion immediately fell on Boko Haram. The sect,
whose name means "Western education is sacrilege" in the Hausa
language of Nigeria's north, has been waging an increasingly bloody
fight against nation's weak central government. More than 680 people
have died in drive-by killings and bombings blamed on Boko Haram this
year alone, according to an AP count. The sect has demanded the
release of all its captive members and has called for strict Shariah
law to be implemented across the entire country.

The sect has used suicide car bombs against churches in the past, most
noticeably a 2011 Christmas Day attack on a Catholic church in Madalla
near Nigeria's capital. That attack and assaults elsewhere in the
country killed at least 44 people. An unclaimed car bombing on Easter
in Kaduna killed at least 38 people on a busy roadway after witnesses
say it was turned away from a church.

Attacks against churches by the sect have waned in recent weeks.
Nigeria's military claimed it killed the sect's spokesman and a
commander Sept. 17 outside the city of Kano, potentially shaking up a
sect that has continued attacks despite a tighter military presence in
northern cities.

The killing of members of the sect's senior leadership comes as the
group recently changed some of its tactics and attacked more than 30
mobile phone towers throughout northern Nigeria, disrupting
communications in a nation reliant on cellular phones.

Saturday night, the military conducted door-to-door searches in the
northern cities of Damaturu and Potiskum, areas now under a 24-hour
curfew that have been hard-hit by the sect.

OMOTOLA’S HUBBY, CAPT. MATTHEW SACKED FROM AIR NIGERIA

Omotola Jalade- Ekehinde husband, Captain Matthew Ekehinde was said to
have been relieved of his job alongside others.

It was reported that Captain Matthew was among the 800 staffers
relieved of their duties by the CEO of Air Nigeria, Barrister Jimoh
Ibrahim few weeks ago over what he called disloyal and lack of
commitment to the company.

It was said that he is presently hunting for a new placement now.

A little quizzical is what is expected of where the father of four
will be heading to, but an insider squealed that he is working so hard
to get a new job at the troubled Arik Airline or better still, a very
reliable foreign carrier that is ready to agree to his terms and
conditions.

A call and text message put through to his wife over his husband's
current state is yet to be replied.

Captain Matthew, according to some of his friends is very diligent and
committed to his work, but has been very unlucky with most of the
airlines he had worked with.

It would be recalled the pilot had worked with the defunct airlines;
Skyline and Sosoliso before joining Air Nigeria few years ago.

Ugo Ozuah allegedly shot dead by police just 5days after his wedding

Ugo Ozuah was allegedly shot by men of the Nigerian police force in
front of the UPS office on the Gbagada Express way on Thursday
September 20th. He died early this morning at a
hospital in Lagos. Ugo just got married last Saturday September 15th, 2012.

Details as to what really happened that Thursday night are sketchy but
according to friends of the late businessman, he was at the
expressway with another friend trying to flag down a taxi around 9 at
night, when policemen pulled up and shot him twice in the chest at
close range.

They said he was not resisting arrest, he wasn't arguing with the
police, he was not asked to identify himself, he was just standing
there with a friend and got killed for no reason. Sounds crazy to me!
The IG of police has said the men that killed the newly married man
were not policemen...but they were wearing police uniform, so who were
they?

This is truly sad, and quite unfortunate! I can't even imagine what
his wife would be going through now. Hopefully, Ugo's family will get
justice for this senseless killing!

$1M FOR KANYE WEST SEX TAPE

American online journal, Radaronline.com says it has a sex tape
involving rapper, Kanye West and an unidentified lady described as a
Kim Kardashian look-a-like.

According to the website, the 20 minutes tape looked like it was shot
in a hotel room with Kanye and the lady as actors.

The lady at the begining of the video disclosed her age to be 18 and
added that although she is married, she would like to have sex with
the rapper because she and her husband no longer do, 'My husband and I
don't have sex anymore… that's why I'm here!', she reportedly said.

Kanye was also reported to have set the camera up himself.

After the camera was set, Radar alleges Kanye then procedded to have a
steamy sex romp with the lady in different positions, wearing a condom
though.

'The sex tape is being shopped right now and there's a lot of
interest, but Kanye is freaking out!" the insider revealed. He doesn't
want this tape out and will do anything to make sure it stays private.
If this were to hit the market it would be worth a fortune… there
would definitely be a lot of people wanting to see this!. In my expert
opinion Kanye's performance far outweighs Kim's!" said a sex industry
insider, according to Radar

Not long ago, Kanye tweeted about how he used Kim's sex tape as
'viagra' long before he began dating her.

Like Huffintgon Post puts it – at least Kim will know exactly how to
comfort her boyfriend when/if the tape gets to go public?

Meanwhile, sex.com says they're offering to pay $1m – or more -for the
video. 'Kanye West is an artist, one of the world's biggest stars, and
ultimately a sex symbol which is why the curiosity of the public
cannot go on. By making a Kanye West sex-tape public, Sex.com feels
that he and current girlfriend Kim Kardashian will become the first
celebrity sex-tape power couple. They will be the epitome of Western
tabloid culture. The public already craves any details released about
their relationship and this tape, filmed pre-relationship, will
provide a frank view of the relationship's inception and confirm
Kanye's rumoured obsession with the reality TV star', a statement from
the 'Pinterest for Porn' site reads.

PHOTOS : MOREE THAN TENS OF THOUSANDS PROTEST ANTI-ISLAM FILM IN KANO

Tens of thousands of people on Saturday protested on the streets of
Kano against an anti-Islam film made in the US that has stirred
outrage across the Muslim world.

The crowd of demonstrators stretched several kilometres through the
city, with protesters shouting "Death to America, death to Israel and
death to the enemies of Islam".

The rally was being organised by the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, a
pro-Iranian group that adheres to the Shiite branch of Islam, which
has operated in Africa's most populous country since the late 1970s.

"We are out today to express our rage and disapproval over this
blasphemous film," said Muhammed Turi, a member of the Islamic
Movement and one of the protest leaders.

"This protest is also aimed at calling on the US government to put a
halt to further blasphemy against Islam," he added.

Demonstrators carried pictures of US President Barack Obama, as well
as American and Israeli flags as they marched towards a palace owned
the Emir of Kano, the top religious figure in the city of roughly 4.5
million people. Others were waving Iranian flags.

The low-budget film "Innocence of Muslims" has incited a wave of
bloody anti-American violence in cities across the Muslim world, with
protests occurring in more than 20 countries.

NOLLYWOOD: “I WILL NEVER WISH MY NDLEA ORDEAL FOR MY ENEMIES” – BABA SUWE

The comedian who also lost his darling wife and partner barely over a
year ago, in a phone chat with HVP admitted the experience was one of
the most trying times in his life as he was left confused and
devastated.

He said he would never forget the experience and prayed that even his
enemies should not have to go through what he went through.

"My brother, this is not something I prayed for, even for my enemies.
It is something I hate talking about but I thank God for absolving me
of the alleged act" he said. In the same vein, the comedian, also
confirmed the story making rounds that he is set to go on the big
screen to tell the story of his incarceration by NDLEA but said he
hasn't said any real work on the movie.

He said: "There is a film I am working on right now but whether I plan
to do a movie on that matter, I will say yes. Maybe in the future
though many people have contacted me to do a movie but I am still
taking my time and God's willing, I shall visit that matter as soon
as I can get myself together."

Baba Suwe is expected back in court on October 19, 2012 to continue
hearing at the Court of Appeal, Lagos Division, on stay of execution
of the judgement of Justice Yetunde Idowu of a Lagos High Court, which
ordered the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) to pay N25
million to the actor as compensation for detaining him unduly over
allegation of drug trafficking.

NOLLYWOOD LATEST : The Worst Thing I've Heard About Myself -Cossy Orjiakor

Nollywood actress, singer and dancer, Cossy Orjiakor is a lady a lot
of people mixed feelings for. While some love her for being herself,
others have this negative impression about her and this bothers her a
lot.

The sexy and bursty actress has said that out of all the things ever
writing about her, the only one that bothered her so much was the
affair with dog story. This is what she said, "the worst rumour I have
heard about myself was that dog story where it was alleged that I
slept with
a dog. It was so terrible that even the producer and director denied
me. It got me thinking that what of if I was dead.

If they had the mind to deny a living person, then, they can as well
poison you. I took the producer to court because I served them court
papers. We got the video and my mother said if these people can go to
this extent to tarnish me, then they can do worse and she advised that
I should just leave them.

It was actually my mother that made me forget about the matter
because my sister is a lawyer and she was working for Ricky Tafa, a
law firm based in Abuja. She was ready to take up the case but my mum
asked me to forget about it and I did." During the whole saga, Cossy
said she never for once changed her perception about the industry as
it's one of those things to
experience as a notable face in Nollywood.

"The experience didn't stop me from acting. If I am called upon to
take up a movie role, I go but I am very particular about roles. I
love my life. I can't really go to a place where I will be scared.
Some people don't like you so you just keep off." She said.

HOLLYWOOD : Dark Knight Tragedy: Shooting Victims Sue Movie Theater for Negligence

You know those emergency exit doors that warn you that an alarm will
go off if you open them? Three victims of the July 20 mass shooting
during a screening of The Dark Knight Rises in Aurora, Colo., have
sued the movie theater for negligence because no such alarm went off.

In two federal lawsuits filed Friday, Denise Traynom, Brandon Axelrod
and Joshua Nowlan allege that the exit door the gunman is said to have
used to access the Cinemark USA-owned Century 16 multiplex should have
been equipped with an alarm. Authorities have alleged that suspect
James Holmes, who has been charged with 24 counts of first-degree
murder and 116 counts of attempted murder, entered the theater through
the front but then propped open a rear exit door so that he could go
to his car to grab the assault rifle and handguns used to massacre a
dozen people and injure 58 others.

According to the Denver Post, the suit also alleges that Cinemark
should have employed heightened security for the midnight screening in
the first place. Each plaintiff is seeking at least $750,000 in
damages. The theater chain had no immediate comment, but the complaint
comes just as Aurora Mayor Steve Hogan and Cinemark president and CEO
Tim Warner expressed mutual excitement that the Century 16, closed
since the shooting, would be ready to reopen by the beginning of next
year.

"Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with all those affected by
the tragic events of July 20th," Warner wrote in a letter to Hogan
just yesterday. "We too have been overwhelmed by the spirit of Aurora
which extends to us and to our employees around the world. We will
never forget the victims and their families.

" The letter continued, "It will be our privilege to reopen the
theater. We pledge to reconfigure the space and make the theater
better than ever." In response, the mayor released the following
statement on the city of Aurora's website: "The responses indicate
overwhelming support to reopen the theater with renovations. The
theater has been a valued part of our community for many years, and
just as they have been all along, I am confident Cinemark will
continue to remain sensitive to victims, their families, their
employees and our community throughout their process of remodeling and
reopening.

"We will always remember those who lost their lives and the many
others impacted that day. While no one will ever forget that day, this
is another step in the community's healing." culled from eonline.com

MUSIC : DRAKE TO GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL THIS MONTH

The Canadian rapper, Drake decided to drop out of high school as a
teenager to follow a career in music, but this summer the 25-year-old
rapper went back for his paper and is set to graduate this month.
During an interview with Kentucky's cn|2, Drake said University of
Kentucky men's basketball coach John Calipari inspired him to pursue
his high school diploma, a task that was well within his reach since
he was only a credit away from achieving his goal.

According to him, "When Coach Cal asked me to come here for the first
Midnight Madness, it just really gave me…it gave me a sense of school,
a sense of love, a sense of belonging to something, and so, you know,
that's why I feel like I belong to the UK family and that's why I'm

CELEBRITY BIRTHDAY - KING SUNNY ADE !!!

KING SUNNY ADE'S LIFE OVERVIEW

Birth nameSunday Adeniyi Born September 22, 1946 (age 66) Oshogbo
OriginOndo, Nigeria GenresJùjú,Yearsactive1960s–present "King" Sunny
Adé (born Sunday Adeniyi, September 22, 1946) is a popular performer
of Yoruba Nigerian jùjú music and a pioneer of modern world music. He
has been classed as one of the most influential musicians of all
time.[1]

Adé was born to a Nigerian royal family in Ondo, thus making him an
Omoba of the Yoruba people.His father was a church organist, while his
mother was a trader. Adé left grammar school in Ondo under the
pretense of going to the University of Lagos. There, in Lagos, his
mercurial musical career started.

Sunny Adé's Musical Sound has evolved from the early days. His career
began with Moses Olaiya's Federal Rhythm Dandies, a highlife band.

He left to form The Green Spots in 1967. Over the years, for various
reasons ranging from changes in his music to business concerns, Sunny
Adé's band changed its name several times, first to African Beats and
then to Golden Mercury.

Sunny Adé's music is characterised by, among other instruments, the
talking drum - an instrument indigenous to his Yoruba roots, the
guitar and his peculiar application to jùjú music, that would easily
put him in the same class as guitar musicians like Santana.

His music is in the age old tradition of singing poetic lyrics ("Ewi"
in Yoruba) and praise of dignitaries as well components of "juju"
(traditional African belief) called the "Ogede"-"casting a spell".
Hence, Adé's music constitutes a record of the oral tradition of his
people for posterity.

Sunny Adé was the first to introduce the pedal steel guitar to
Nigerian pop music. He was the first to introduce the use of
synthesizers, clavinet, vibraphone, tenor guitar into the jùjú music
repertoire such as dub and wah-wah guitar licks.

Sunny has collaborated with major artists such as Manu Dibango
(WAKAFRIKA) and Stevie Wonder (played harmonica in Aura).

Sunny Adé's brief recordings with Island records opened the floodgates
for other world music artist like Senegalese Youssou N'Dour, Mali's
Salif Keita and a host of others.

In 1987, Sunny Adé returned to international spotlight when Rykodisc
released a live concert he did in Seattle and was given an astonishing
embrace by fans across the globe who were eager for another
international album release.

He soon employed an American manager, Andrew Frankel, negotiated
another three album record deal with the Mesa record label (a Division
of Paradise Group) in America. One of these albums was 1998's Odu, a
collection of traditional Yoruba songs, with which he was nominated
for the second Grammy Award and thus making him the first African to
be nominated twice for a Grammy.

Apart from being an international musician Sunny Adé is also prominent
in his native Nigeria, running multiple companies in several
industries, creating a non-profit organization called the King Sunny
Adé Foundation, and working with the Musical Copyright Society of
Nigeria.

In recent times, hip hop music appears to be holding sway with the
electronic media in Nigeria with massive airplays. Nonetheless, Sunny
Adé's musical output has continued to inspire a vast generation of
other Nigerian musicians, who believe in the big band musical set up
which Sunny Adé and late Fela Kuti are noted for.

The musician, Lagbaja is one of the very many musicians Sunny Adé's
music has inspired. In 2008, his contributions to world music was
recognised; as he was given an award for his outstanding contribution
to world music at the Reggae and world music awards held at the
Appollo Theater in Harlem, New York.

In the 1980s Adé embarked on a career in Hollywood. His music was
featured in the 1983 film Breathless, starring Richard Gere, and the
1986 comedy One More Saturday Night, and he acted in Robert Altman's
1987 comedy O.C. and Stiggs.

The entire YB entertainment celebrates you sir !! Happy Birthday King Sunny Ade

colleague, Tonto Dike one of Nollywood's most controversial actresses.

The University of Ibadan graduate mentioned this while responding to
allegations that she's not friendly with her colleagues. 'I pick my
friends from the heart, I have actors who have been my friends for 20
years and we are still going strong. It is like marriage, if you don't
have the right partner, there would be trouble. If you have the wrong
friends, they will never tell you
when you are going wrong.

When asked to name few of her friends in the industry, she mentioned
Dike, stating that she is an amiable and lovable person. 'I love Tonto
Dike, I met her once and I think she is a good
person' she said.

'I love Omotola Jalade Ekeinde too, I would say she is my friend, we
don't see or talk everyday but when we do see and talk, it is a moment
to treasure, Stella Damasus, Keppy
Ekpeyoung Bassey are also my friends amongst others', she concluded.

Akintola, 37, soared to limelight after featuring in the popular' Owo
Blow' movie and 'Check Mate' where she co-starred with Richard Mofe
Damijo and other notable actors.

MTN PROJECT FAME : Singer Didi Sent Home from Project Fame

It was another night of excitement-laced tension as one unlucky
contestant said goodbye to the ongoing Project Fame reality show.

In no particular order, Adetoun, Didi, Christian, Ella, and
Oyinkansade – the five contestants with the least votes – were asked
to repeat the songs they sang individually last week. This
time around they were not only expected to impress their fans but also
the judges and faculty who have the powers to save one contestant each
from the claws of elimination.

Eventually the judges saved Adetoun, the faculty chose Oyinkansade,
while last two votes went to Christian, thus leaving Didi and Ella as
the eliminated contestants.

The judges however pulled a surprise and chose to exercise their power
of recall by saving an elated Ella who could hardly believe her fate.

Paris Hilton apologizes for gay bashing

Paris Hilton released an apology saying, "Gay people are the strongest
and most inspiring people I know." This apology is in response to a
recording released in which Hilton calls gays "the horniest people in
the world". Hilton went on to state, "Most of them probably have
AIDS".

This statement obviously upset the gay community and their supporters.
Ok it probably offended 85% of the population. Really Paris? Paris had
previously released a statement trying to explain herself, but now she
has issued a full-blown apology and it's posted on GLAAD's website.
Hilton stated that she was having a private conversation with a friend
and was in no way bashing the gay community. GLAAD posted the apology
on its website on

Thursday. Question is should Hilton get off the proverbial hook with
just an apology? It's not the first time she has put her foot in her
mouth. Paris' apology: "As anyone close to me knows, I always have
been and always will be a huge supporter of the gay community.

I am so sorry and so upset that I caused pain to my gay friends, fans
and their families with the comments heard this morning. I was having
this private conversation with a friend of mine who is gay and our
conversation was in no way towards the entire gay community. It is the
last thing that I would ever want to do and I cannot put into words
how much I wish I could take back every word…"

KANYE WEST "PRACTICALLY IN TEARS" AFTER SEX TAPE WITH KIM KARDASHIAN LOOK-ALIKE IS PUT UP FOR SALE

The nearly 20-minute-long recording is believed to have been shot with
an unidentified female who is a 'dead ringer' for Kim herself,
RadarOnline.com reports.

Filmed in what appears to be a hotel room, the married woman
reportedly confirms at the start of the tape that she's over the age
of 18 and fully consenting.

here!' According to the US gossip site, the mystery woman is a Kim
lookalike with a curvaceous figure and long dark hair.

Radar maintains to have seen the steamy tape in full and claim they
can verify 'without a doubt' that it is the 35-year-old rapper in the
video.
Throughout the romp, the pair allegedly don't kiss or interact in any
way apart from trying out various positions.

The man who appears to be Kanye is said to be aware he is being filmed
because he not only set up the camera, but also looks directly into
the device at the end of the video.

According to an industry insider, the tape was shot shortly before
Kanye officially got together with Kim in March, and he is said to be
'terrified' about the video being leaked.

A source claimed to Radar: 'The sex tape is being shopped right now
and there's a lot of interest, but Kanye is freaking out!

'He doesn't want this tape out and will do anything to make sure it
stays private. If this were to hit the market it would be worth a
fortune… there would definitely be a lot of people wanting to see
this!

'Kanye was practically in tears when he heard the tape was being shopped.'

the most populous black nation in the world as ghetto.

MI posted on his website, "does it make you angry? Does it rile you to
see your country portrayed as poor and suffering and full of struggle?

"It burns you, does it not? To have some foreigner- who knows nothing
of your history and pain, of the stories that flow within your blood-
to have this foreigner come in and tell your story?

"Is it not the height of disrespect and insensitivity? Does it not
chafe against the thick skin you have grown to cover your other
wounds? Does it not make you angry? "We should wax sanctimonious about
national pride being slighted. We should vent our displeasure online.

We should occupy something. Because God forbid the truth ever be told
about what things really are."God forbid a stranger remind us about
those things we choose to ignore everyday. God forbid we ever face the
truth about ourselves. God forbid we do not go on the internet and
rail about how our country is being cast in bad light.

"God forbid we do not talk about how there is a small minority which
lives better than portrayed. God forbid we do not ignore truth one
more time. God forbid we don't." For those who have watch the
controversial music video, was Rick Ross portraying a wrong Nigeria?

Lindsay Lohan: Mom Dina Lohan Regrets Pushing Her to Become a Child Star

Heard anything about Lindsay Lohan lately? Anything? Mom Dina Lohan
certainly has, and she's sounding off abou her embattled daughter's
seemingly never-ending barrage of police run-ins and headline-grabbing
antics, which now includes accusations that LiLo swiped a bystander
with her car on Wednesday in New York and fled the scene.

"I'm certainly not making excuses for Lindsay's behavior," Dina told
the New York Daily News Friday. "But she's a 26-year-old woman."

The controversial mom also second-guessed her decision to push LiLo
into showbiz at such a young age, which found the precocious and
talented star scoring a slew of ads and top billing in flicks like The
Parent Trap before she was even a teenager.

"I was born into the business," Dina says. "My mother was an
entertainer. It was natural. But yes, in the next life, I might no do
it."

I DIDN’T KNOW I WAS PREGNANT: BRITISH SOLDIER GIVES BIRTH IN AFGHANISTAN

I always thought TV show, 'I didn't know I was pregnant' on Zone
Reality was doctored, but it sure happens. You can be pregnant and not
know.

A British soldier who did not realize she was pregnant has given birth
to a baby boy at the Camp Bastion field hospital in Afghanistan.

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) in London said mother and baby were in
stable condition and a specialist "Paediatric Retrieval Team" would
fly out from Britain to care for them during the long flight home.

"It is not military policy to allow servicewomen to deploy on
operations if they are pregnant. In this instance, the MOD was unaware
of her pregnancy," the ministry said.

According to The Daily Mail, the woman herself was unaware of the
pregnancy. The Mail said the Royal Artillery gunner had conceived
before her six-month stint in Afghanistan began. Her pre-deployment
training included an eight mile march and five mile run. Her job in
the field involved providing covering fire for troops fighting
insurgents.

She was taken to the field hospital after complaining of stomach pains
and was informed by doctors that she was about to have a baby.

Lieutenant Colonel Andrea Lewis, commanding officer of the field
hospital, was quoted as saying "This is a unique occurrence, but my
team is well-rehearsed in the unexpected and they adapted brilliantly
to this situation. I am pleased to report the mother and baby are
doing well and we are all delighted at the outcome.
