DISGRACE- NIGERIAN POLICEMEN FIGHTING

This happened sometime last year. I posted this for Nigerians to see how bad the Force has become .It is kind of funny and pretty embarrassing, but the story in Ajegunle, along Lagos-Abeokuta Express is hilarious and sad at the same time. 3 police men engaged in a brawl over reason unexplained at the time.

People were seen scampering for safety, and nobody could tell what caused the fight, which got so messy that the policemen wrestled and dragged themselves on the ground.

The three fighters are corporals serving in the elite Mobile Police Force.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so we have a few thousand words for you guys. Check out the pictures:

Denrele Edun leaves Soundcity

Controversial Soundcity vee-jay, Denrele Edun, has confirmed his resignation from the popular urban music channel, Soundcity.
The popular presenter, who is famous for his peculiar lifestyle as well as for impressively conducting many red carpet interviews for the music channel, revealed that he voluntarily left his job of six years to pursue some other personal dreams.
“I resigned two weeks ago,” said Denrele, who has now attained a celebrity status, in a telephone conversation with X2. “I believe it was time I move on to a greener pasture and do other things for myself.”
Denrele, who is currently on the location of a yet-to-be titled new traditional epic movie with Funke Akindele and Yinka Quadri in Oyo State, also quickly dispelled rumours that his exit from his old job is fuelled by a fallout with his boss concerning his infamous picture with Charly Boy.

Polygamy church: Leader preaches, practises, enforces multiple marriage

                                                                                                      EZEOBI
There is controversy in town. It is in the church and it has been causing ripples among families, especially the women.
The issue of contention is the teaching of a pastor, Harrison Charles of the Day Spring Assembly that polygamy is holy, pure and biblical.

Expectedly, the female members of the church are up in arms as they won’t contemplate sharing their husbands with other women in marriage.

The charged nature of their reactions and the insistence of the preacher with copious bible quotatations have resulted in jolts and turbulence in homes. Some homes are in Disarray as the wives pack out in protest and the husbands with the support of their pastor press their claims that such men in the church must marry other wives.

We listened to the protest of the wives over this doctrine and also sounded out the preacher on his ‘unpopular’ message He insists God directed him to so preach.

…Our husband are gone, and they want the kids too

What motivated you into acting?
It started when I was still in the secondary school. I belonged to a drama group. Apart from that, what really motivated me was when I watched Omotola Jalade in a movie entitled: ‘What I Want,’ I fell in love with the movie and the way she interpreted her role in the movie.

Jim Iyke Slip of Tongue at AMAA Awards Nite 2011

This story is about Nollywood Star Jim Iyke presentation at the AMAA Award Nite of 2011. Before any show organizers would call Nollywood actor Jim Iyke to present in any awards event in the future, they will definitely think twice or better still make sure it’s not going to be on a live telecast.
The actor suffered a “diarrhea of the mouth” attack during his slot to present an award at the event and was just drooling out homophobic and sexist remarks.
The actor started off with his comment about gays and their “weird” ways. “There is something wrong. It’s just wrong.” It was Co-presenter, Ikpe-Etim who cut him short saying, “Okay, that’s enough. I must apologize for my colleague. There is nothing wrong with being happy.”
The Co-presenter did not know what he had in stock for her until he told her to “shut up.” And capping it with an onstage banter, asking her to come to his room later and she asked what for, he replied, “You’re a Calabar girl, you should know, now!”
As if that is not enough, he switched from being a presenter to Women Rights activist, defending Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde’s weight gain talks accusing women of “popping pills” to stay slim.

Abuja Lover delivers baby girl for 9ice

It’s a baby girl for singer 9ice and his Abuja-based partner Bukky!

Although the pair would prefer to keep it hush hush, we can reliably tell you that they are taking their relationship a step further with the arrival, early last week, of their first baby together.


Sources close to 9ice tell us the singer -who’s separated from his wife Toni Payne – has been a regular visitor to Abuja, since Bukky – a fair-complexioned older woman – took in last year.

The relationship has never been public, even though those close to the singer are well aware they’re seriously dating.

We cannot tell for now, if the pair is planning to get married; especially as 9ice and Payne are still legally married.

Multiple sources tell us this lady is the reason the singer has been a regular visitor to Abuja; and that his ex Toni Payne is – unhappily- aware of the relationship. ‘In fact almost all the ladies close to him know of her. She herself even went out of her way to contact them‘, our source offers.

Sources say Bukky’s baby, a girl, was delivered on Monday March 21. The baby is 9ice’s second. His first son named Zion was delivered on Thursday December 4, 2008, at Presbytarian Hospital, Southern California, United States of America.

I can tell you for sure that 9ice has gotten the girl pregnant, and she has put to bed. Toni knows. But even her is keeping quiet but it’ll be a source of embarrassment for her‘, one of 9ice’s close friends tells us. He does not want to be named.

I can’t tell if he’ll marry her or not. But she’s very close to him and I believe they’re serious‘. He disclosed.

9ice’s manager Dehinde Fajana through a telephone conversation, Fajana claimed that he is ignorant of the situation and questioned the existence of his boss’ Abuja partner.

‘Is there any partner there? Does 9ice have any partner in Abuja? I’m sorry, I don’t know’ Fajana responded.

9ice did not immediately respond to our enquiries.
