The illegal deployment of the Military to invade the East is part of the October 1st plan. Please, all Igbos and Biafrans in general should evacuate the north as soon as possible because Buhari and his men are up to something bad but they shall be buried in the pit they are digging. I curse the day Fraud Lugard and the British fraudulently and forcefully created this company called Nigeria!!!”.

While responding to a follower who advised that the actor return to Nigeria and possibly pick up arms to join the IPOB army as a show of support instead of posting inciting comments on social media, the actor said that he is Biafran an Entity which has existed ”before the contraption called Nigeria was created by the British”.

2Face Launches Vote not Fight Campaign in Anambra State

Posted on September 15, 2017 by Omaku Josephine

2Face Idibia has on Thursday, September 14, inaugurated “Vote Not Fight, Election No Be War” campaign in a bid to promote peaceful governorship election in Anambra on November 18.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the campaign is a collaboration of the 2Face Idibia Foundation, Youngstars Development Initiative (YDI) and Youth Initiative for Advocacy, Growth and Advancement (YIAGA).u

According to the reports, the collaboration also involved Centre for Ethics and Youth Development (CEYD), Gender Perspective and Social Development Centre (GPSDC) and Integrity Youth Development Initiative (IYDI).

While addressing newsmen at the ceremony in Awka, The music legend stressed the need for the general public to work together in order to prevent loss of lives before, during and after the election.

“Since 2015, I and the partner organisations on the Vote Not Fight campaign have worked tirelessly to increase youth participation in our country’s election.

“I call on youth of Anambra to ensure that they go out and vote for the candidates of their choice.

“The legitimacy of government is dependent on peaceful, free, fair and credible elections,” he said.

He added that even if Biafra was granted, they would still need peace for the elections to hold. 2Baba encouraged them to show maturity as well as vote responsibly.

“We have to monitor and engage our leaders. I encourage our youths to join political parties of their choice and grow to help make informed decisions,” he said.

2Face Idibia

Idibia went on to urge political parties and candidates to utilize the established legal avenues if they had concerns about the election.

He also urged traditional and religious rulers, elder statesmen as well as youth and women groups to join the campaign against violence during the election and play by the rules.

Mr. Kingsley Bangwell of Yougstars Foundation, earlier disclosed that some Anambra-based youth groups had been trained on non-violent election advocacy and voter education skills to ensure effective campaigns.

Bangwell went on to add that the youths also acquired training on advocacy skills to allow them to organise their communities for peaceful participation in the governorship election.

Chairman of Peoples Progressives Alliance (PPA) in the state, Mr Mathias Ameke, commended Idibia for helping to promote peaceful elections while urging politicians to obey the rule of law.

“Young people are key to nationhood and until they are led on the right path, they may continue to deviate.

“They must be taught that elections are not do-or-die and taught to develop the spirit of sportsmanship,” he said.

NAN reports that 2Face and the campaign team had goten some governorship candidates, including Mr. Oseloka Obaze of PDP and Gov. Willie Obiano of APGA, to endorse the campaign.

2Face Idibia has since become reputable for taking part i campaigns that aid the needy as well as promoting peace within the country.

Rosaline Muerer Throws what Looks Like a Shade at Tonto Dikeh

Posted on September 15, 2017 by Omaku Josephine

Following the trend of celebrities that have been sharing wisdom nuggets, Rosaline Muerer shares her’s but this one seems to be directed to actress, Tonto Dikeh.

Yesterday, 14th of September 2017 had Tonto Dikeh talking about raising her child without both parents rather than have him (King) raised in a violent home because a violent environment damages a child.

Today, Rosaline whom Tonto had claimed to be the other woman in her marriage in the middle of the crises between the actress and her estranged husband Oladunni Churchill but Miss Muerer debunked this claim in an interview with Media Hub stating that she sees him as her mentor and someone with a good heart.

The controversial actress (Muerer) however, today, in a series of posts on Snapchat gave a few words of advice on marriage…

Muerer’s Snap

Excepts from her snaps bellow…

”It’s a bond yo! An agreement with yourselves and God. Yes there are ups and downs and it’s not always all that rosy but hey we are born in a time where if something is broken we just throw it away! Why not try IF SOMETHING IS BROKEN, FIX IT!

There is no guarantee that your next catch will be any better. Embrace and keep in mind all the good sides of someone and work on how to deal with the bad sides. Your next partners bad side might be even worst. No one is perfect.

“I’m 25 years old. Never been married but hey it’s quite logical. Your marriage doesn’t have anything to do with anyone else but you and your partner. Y’all were made and item. Deal with whatever situation y’all going through and look at it as a phase.

Nawa o. All this marriage matter is so cliche. it’s not that serious oh. It’s something that just flows and happens. It’s not a do Or die thing. These days marriage has been made to look so scary. People are still happily married with zero worries”.

I guess we should just sit back and enjoy the new wave of celebrity advice.

Bukky Wright Shares her Thought on Gender Equality

Posted on September 14, 2017 by Omaku Josephine

The award winning actress who always has a word or two for her colleagues and fans took to Instagram to share her thoughts on gender equality.

In a lengthy post, Bukky Wright talks about how she feels about gender equality. She wrote…

“When a man has a good car it attracts more ladies to him. When a lady has a good car it repels guys away from her. This is the world we live in.A teenage boy impregnates his teenage girlfriend. The girl drops out of school, the boy continues his education.
This is the word we live in.A guy catches his girlfriend with another guy, he fights his girlfriend. A lady catches her guy with another lady, she fights the other lady. This is the word we live in.The older a man becomes, the higher the number of ladies available for him. The older a lady becomes the fewer the number of guys available for her.
This is the world we live in.A 76-year-old man can still marry a 26-year-old lady. A 36-year-old lady is tagged too old to get married. This is the world we live in.A man divorces his wife today and the next day he is dating other ladies. Six months later he is married. While the divorced woman is labeled a divorcee and remains single six years later. This is the world we live in. A married man is caught in bed with another woman, his wife is asked to forgive him and move on. A married woman is caught in bed with another man, the husband asks her to leave his house.
This is the world we live in.A man gets transferred by his company to another state, the entire family relocates with him. The woman gets transferred to another state, she goes alone or resigns from the job.
This is the world we live in.‎ If a man rises to be the CEO of the company, he got there by hard work and determination. If a woman rises to be the CEO of the company, even if the staff are are only women, she is suspected to get there by sleeping with the Board members.
This is the world we live in.Facts like these make some ladies angry at the world and channeling the anger towards men. For me, that is not the right card to play. Understanding the world you live in should help you play a better game.”
The actress is known to always have a word or two for both her colleagues and fans as she recently warned her colleagues to be mindful of the kind of personal information they post on social media.
Wright said in a social media post that such information could be so sensitive that it could hinder their careers in the future.
Bukky Wright has starred in a lot of Yoruba and English movies, including her thrilling role in the famous family series “Super Story”. She is a mother and grandmother

Monalisa Chinda advises Women to Avoid Domestic Violence by not Provoking their Men

Posted on September 14, 2017 by Omaku Josephine

In an interview with Okey Bakassi on Channel TV’s The Other Side, Monalisa Chinda shared her thought on domestic violence.

The actress advised women to quit provoking their men into punches and slaps.

In her words, ”what I’m saying is that, much as I don’t like, most of us don’t like domestic violence, women should quit provoking their men into punches and slaps and all kinds of things… I always research when stories when fresh stories come up, I always dig in to see what and half the time, it’s always the women. You know, our mouth, God just gave us this very running Okra mouth, we talk a lot… women, don’t fight with people who are stronger than you”.

The Rivers State born actress has always voiced out to speak against domestic violence having suffered violence herself in the hands of her ex-husband whom she had said in the past treated her with disgust.

she said actresses don’t talk about their sexual harassment experiences over fear of stigmatization. “They keep quiet about it because of their careers. Apart from that, the society stigmatises these women. So you just swallow your pride. When you are outside the shores of Africa, women are heroes for coming out to speak about sexual abuse, but not here.” she added.

The actress noted that she does not like to talk about her experience concerning Domestic Violence.

”I Quit my $6000 Monthly Salary Job for Music”- Mr Easy

Posted on September 14, 2017 by Omaku Josephine

Leg Over crooner, Oluwatosin Oluwole Ajibade popularly Known by his stage name Mr. Easy yesterday in an Interview with Beat FM’s Morning rush took his fans through his journey to the top; he spoke of difficult career choices and sacrifices he had to make to be where he is today.

The singer who suffered serious backlash from music fans across the country disclosed that he earned Six Thousand Dollars (approximately Two Million Naira) monthly while he worked for an Oil Company in Port Harcourt but he had to quit his job to pursue fulfillment.

He said he left the job because he was tired of going through the same daily routine and finally mad the decision to leave the job after his boss’ wife left him despite all the money he had.

His family however didn’t take the News likely when he left his job to go back to school for his masters after which he started selling phones in computer village. “Even my mother started praying special prayers for me but my father didn’t add that final voice that would have decided my fate. My break finally came after I got an invite to do two shows in London that made me twelve thousand pounds which I used to shoot two videos. When I told my mother what I did with the money, she stopped talking to me for about three weeks. I had to move in with a friend because even my relatives didn’t want me around but everything finally changed when I went back to London for shows that fetched me really good money” he said.

The singer also admitted to dating the daughter of Nigerian Billionaire, Femi Otedola.

The Best of Apple Gadgets, iPhone X, 8 and 8s.

Posted on September 13, 2017 by Omaku Josephine

To mark their tenth anniversary, Apple has unveiled the iPhone 8 and 8s, and iPhone X with amazing features and breathtaking innovations to the world of technology.

Selling at four hundred and seventy thousand Naira, iPhone X or iPhone3 10 launches as the anniversary phone of Apple. It features an edge-to-edge display with richer colours, and facial recognition software called Face ID that allows users to unlock the phone without the need for a fingerprint reader or physical home button.

While unveiling the gadgets, Phill Schiler announced that there is an update to wireless charging which is also available to Apple watch. This certainly breaks the world of technology.

The iPhones 8 and 8s which is an impovement to the iPhone 7 series has the wireless charging feature as it’s major dinstict feature, It looks a lot like the iPhone 7, but it’s now all-glass, and it comes in three colours (silver, grey and rose gold).

There are some new features in this phone, including the True Tone tech carried over from the iPad (it adjusts for the temperature of the light), louder stereo speakers and a new “A11 bionic” chip.

Apple’s also showing off its first ever fully in-house GPU (after it broke with Britain’s Imagination Technologies), and a new image signal processor – the brains behind the camera – with noise reduction and faster low-light auto-focus.

The camera itself gets a new sensor and new colour filter on the normal 8, while the 8 Plus gets two new sensors for its two new cameras, and the telephoto lens gets better in low light.

But it’s the software where the cameras are getting impressive changes: the 8 Plus can now use the two cameras to build a depth map of a portrait photo, and artificially alter the lighting of the images.

Schiller also calls the iPhone the first phone “designed for augmented reality” (that doesn’t sound true, given Google’s Project Tango was explicitly just that, but hey), and shows some AR apps, like a Warhammer game and a baseball analytics app.

The iPhone 8 will start selling at Two Hundred and Eighty Three Thousand, Seven Hundred and Ninety Four Naira. The gadgets will start shipping from the 3rd of November.

Don’t Vote for me Based on my Story…There are Better Singers on the Show- Kechi Okwuchi

Posted on September 13, 2017September 13, 2017 by Omaku Josephine

Nigerian Semi-Finalist of the current edition of America’s Got Talent and Sosoliso Plane Crash Survivor, Kechi Okwuchi, in an interactive session on Instagram with her fans stated that she won’t want people to vote for her based on her story.

Asked how she will feel if she wins the competition, she said she will be happy to make it to top ten but that is where she might stop because she feels there are better people on the show and she won’t want people to vote for her based on her condition.

She said, ”It would be amazing to make it to top 10 but honestly if I make it that far, I think that is probably where I might stop just because I feel there are some people there who are good.

There are a lot of singers and a lot of us know how to sing. I am so grateful to get this far but I feel like if I win it might be a little unfair because I don’t want people to vote for me based on my story and how much they like me and feel they are inspired by me.

The main part of the show is the talent part and there are such amazing people that have amazing talents and I feel some of them may be more deserving.

So, then again you never know, God’s plans are not our plans and he can see further than we can so I don’t want to go and say something that might counter what he has planned. Lets just say what will happen will happen. Let it just be what God wants”.

In a heart melting response to what she remembers about the plane crash, ”I remember in bits and pieces” she said, ”I don’t remember the impact of the plane because that must have been when I blanked out or something. I remember being on the plane and feeling like everything was fine and I was with my friend who lived next door to me.

I remember when the pilot made the announcement that we would be landing like 20 minutes at the airport that we would be heading to.

I remember when the plane started really getting crazy and the turbulence started getting like way too much.

I remember feeling this out of body experience. It looked like a movie.

I remember holding my friend’s hands and she was asking what we should do like should we pray or something.

Then there was this loud weird metal sound and I woke up in the hospital five weeks later in South Africa. There were 109 passengers on the plane and 60 of them were fellow students from my school. I was in a boarding school.

Two people survived. Myself and the other lady that I did not know before the plane crash”.

We are all rooting for Kechi, break a leg dear.

Youth Corps Member Escapes Ritualists Thanks to her Physical Deformity

Posted on September 13, 2017September 13, 2017 by Omaku Josephine

Ever had any reason to question why you are the way you are? do you hate yourself because you were born with a certain condition? This one will make you have a rethink.

Sometimes, our insecurities makes us question why we are the way we are, we sometimes hate ourselves for certain conditions which we did not create for ourselves. Some people even hate or question their parents for answers that are beyond human reasoning. This testimony from an Instagram user is certainly an eye opener for most us.

Juliet is a youth corps member serving in Lagos state. She left her house on Thursday morning to go about her business. It was in the bus that she boarded that she almost met her death but providence already got her covered and she was released when her preys realized that she was born without one palm.

Her post bellow…

”I know it will come as a shocker to you, but I’m glad it will electrocute the devil ????
On thursday morning at about 5am I boarded a bus at my bustop and another man wanted to enter but the conductor refused saying he had 1000naira this early morning but the man didn’t say anything so how did the conductor know? They pretended like they were picking up another but when she tried to enter, they drove off.
The conductor told the man beside me that where is he going to that he paid 30 naira and so he got up trying to point out where he will alight and the next thing was someone grabbed my head, neck , tied my eyes, covered my mouth and I was screaming Jesus and they pulled me to the floor of the bus.
Removed every metal on my body, tied my legs together, touching my private part and he wanted to tie my hands I said while crying that I have gone through a lot in life that they should please have mercy on me.
The bus was silent when they saw my hand and then they started murmuring. The main boss asked them to unfold my eyes and mouth and asked what happened to my hand and I said it was how I was born and I was a (Corps Member) going to my place of primary assignment. He was quite and then told me that they would let me go and cleaned my eyes, gave me my belongings, told me sorry and dropped me off at a point.
Then I appreciated God for moulding me this way from birth because if it was from an accident they might not let me go and if my hand were complete just say bye bye to earth????????
Am sorry God for being ashamed of it but it is the people of the world that always made me feel incomplete ??

#thankyouforonehandcostwowouldhavetakenmylife”

Look who Stepped on the Tail of a Viper; Mr Easy

Posted on September 12, 2017 by Omaku Josephine

Mr Easy is yet to see the last of Nigerian keypad warriors after he said Nigerian artists copy Ghanaian music style.

Banku Music pioneer, Mr Oluwatosin Oluwole Ajibade, a Nigerian singer with the stage name Mr Eazi claimed that Nigerian artists are now found of using Ghanaian lexicons while recording their music.

In an interview with Capital Extra Mr Eazi said, 70% of Nigerian artist come to Ghana every year playing shows using words like: shitton, Mami, Sika, Oddo, Banku on shows and in the studio.

He also claimed that most African Afrobeat Hiphop stars are all on the Ghana-Nigeria merger emphasizing with much relevance on Ghanaian music over Nigerian artist.

In his words, “The speed at which I’ve moved is scary to me…cause it took my contemporaries five, six years, and that is what has been this year, if you want to count like five afrobeat, it’s like everybody just realized that ‘yo what formula is Mr Eazi using?’ Ok we’re gonna end up doing it. December last year almost 60% of Nigerian artiste were in Ghana playing shows”

Eazi in an attempt to discredit the use of Ghanaian ele3ments in Nigerian Music went further to say, “It’s just like an American artist just rapping about something in the UK, and you know he has no knowledge of it.”

His statement has encountered reactions on twitter with many downplaying him for being an ingrate and not having fair respect for Nigeria which is the major entertainment hub of Africa.

Nigerian Twitter reacts…

Keypad Warriors not going very easy on Mr. Easy.

Runtown, didn’t waste time to clap back at the musician as he tweeted thus ”Bout to drop that new sound again and pls Don’t get mad when i finish what you think you started”

This is not the first time Mr. Easy will be criticised for satements about Ghana influencing Nigerian Music.

She attended attended Hollywood International School in Asaba for her secondary education where she graduated recently. She is yet to disclose which University she was admitted to.

RMD Swoons over TY Bello’s Lenses

Posted on September 8, 2017September 8, 2017 by Omaku Josephine

Positive reviews rolls in for celebrity photographer TY Bello for her excellent works.

Ace Nollywood Actor Richard Mofe Damijo took to Instagram to commend TY Bello for her excellent works behind the camera lens.

RMD, in a nostalgic flashback of his first encounter with TY Bello’s camera in Uyo, Akwa Ibom said he spontaneously surrendered to her lenses after some pleasantries at the Meridien Hotel, Uyo. The product of that encounter were ”some awesome black and white photos” one of which became his first Istagram post. The Actor stated that the 20 minute shoot was a remarkable one after which he itched for a more comprehensive shoot.

He recalled that they had about 10 failed appointments afterwards until an opportunity for ‘This Day’ shoot came and there was no stalling anymore. The shoot led them to Makoko Slum on TY’s insistence, an experience which he described as liberating. ”I felt completely at home and had the time of my life watching her work her magic”, he said.

According to the Actor, ”TY is a consummate artist who loves and understands the beauty and pureness of light and photography. The result is a rare collection of photos that show me in a light I love. It brought the charm and mystique that I totally agree a studio shoot would not have captured. Having said all that tho, I wonder if I get to be slayed by her lenses when I turn 60 in four years, only God knows what she will see then, probably private jets and clouds”.

Looks like RMD just booked an appointment with TY Bello for the next four years.

We will recall that the photographer who is also a singer has had so many celebrities grace her camera over the years. The reviews of every of these encounters have been positive as evident in the very unique photographs that come out of the shoots.

Pray for Sadiq Daba

Posted on September 8, 2017 by Omaku Josephine

Veteran actor cum broadcaster, Sadiq Daba, popularly known for his role as Bitrus in the now rested 80s television Drama, Cock Crow at Dawn and recently in Kunle Afolayan’s blockbuster movie, October 1st which earned him an AMAA Award as Best Male actor for his role as Inspector Danladi Waziri has been reported to be in a critical condition due to ill health.

The actor who has been battling leukemia and blood cancer was rumored dead but contrary to those claims, the actor is said to be alive and recovering well. In a Facebook chat with Lady Gwen, General Manager, R2929FM Ibadan, Sadiq Baba was quoted thus: “Gwen, I’m not dead nor dying!!! God has been and will always be faithful to my plight because that is my covenant with Him. My doctors have been wonderful and I am responding to treatment. My love and thanks to all those who have called to empathize and sympathize with me, God bless you”.

When asked how he stopped smoking and drinking, in an interview with Daily Media in 2016, the seasoned Broadcaster said his fear of death and love for life made him decide to quit his age long habit when his doctor brought his X-ray and showed him his lungs and some other organs. he said, ”he gave me two options, whether to continue drinking, die and be buried or stop and continue living. I didn’t see a choice in it. I love life and I have seen my brothers and my friends go but I don’t want to”. He further revealed that peer pressure got him into smoking and drinking as it gave them courage to be able to chase girls.

He now preaches against smoking and drinking everywhere he goes and he said he wouldn’t stop preaching it because God spared his life to preach it.

People have taken to social media to call for prayers for his quick recovery since the early hours of today.
