Adding further, John said, ‘Whoever has read the book has told me they read it thrice or four times and as you know in the book I wasn’t acting I was doing it for real. I hope that translates also in the movie.’

Jim, has been casted for the lead role of Jack Zolo in a new Kenyan crime thriller entitled My Life In Crime.

The movie, is an adaptation of three novels written by John Kiriamiti based on ‘his life as a real gangster’, according to sources.

I wish i had known dis years back.. I could not help but share on my website and in courtesy of you http://abidemionline.com/relationship/how-to-stop-your-man-from-cheating/

chikk: Keeping a man faithful is not as difficult as it may appear at first. For starters, most of them want to be true to their spouses, but for that extra boost to ensure fidelity, try these steps.

Respect him as you would want him to respect you

Remind him from time to time why he's your man . In other words, take the time to make him feel special as if he's the only one in your life. Tell him how handsome he is every now and then.

Validate your man on a daily basis. Whether he works outside of the house, is currently unemployed or a stay-at-home Dad, (if you're married) your man still needs to feel like a man. You know he is, make sure he knows it as well.

Appreciate all the things he does for you
. It doesn't matter whether those things are big or small, they are worth, at the least, a thank you.

Spice things up every once in a while. Tell him your fantasies, listen to his. Don't be afraid to initiate romance.

Live, love and Laugh. Laugh often with him, not at him. Tell him a joke that you think he might like or clip out comics from the newspaper and place them on the fridge,send text or e-mail messages.

Listen first, and then talk. Let him finish what he has to say before you interrupt. Ask questions if you're not sure about what he said. Do not go with the general notion; all women are nags. Make a difference. Listen more, talk less.

Be his biggest supporter! Men don't like to admit it, but they need reassurances as well. Showing him that you support him and are there with him through day to day struggles will help to ensure that he doesn't have a need for someone else to fill that need.

Don't lose your own self respect. Stop blaming him for everything and understand that some things are beyond your or his control.

Feed him. Men love when a woman cooks for them like mum does. You don't have to cook exactly like her but, it's the action that counts. Women claim men are dogs but remember if you feed a dog he will never leave home!!!

Hold and Cuddle your man, his day can be just as bad as your day. Remember they
are big kids and when they got upset when they were younger, mums held them close.

When leaving him alone make sure he has everything needed. Remember you are
already dressed and ready to go and he is capable of getting those things. It also shows you care about his needs or wants as well.

Don't ever baby him. He will pull away from you. He needs to feel like he's the provider. If you're married, take the family budget to give him what he likes. It's the effort that counts.

Work on yourself. Learn to appear neat and appealing to tour man at all times. Take your time to get those kinky and sexy undies, night wears and dressing that will make him want you more.

Remember, if a man has all he needs in a woman, he will never go looking for another. Be everything your man wants.

There are a lot of ways to stop fighting in a relationship, but do you always want to follow them? Constant fighting in a relationship isn't healthy, but sometimes it happens. If you're finding yourself constantly fighting with your boyfriend or girlfriend, you've got to take a look at my ways to stop fighting in a relationship so you can really get back to enjoying each other! Remember, fights are typically caused by misunderstandings and underlying issues!

1. Don't Bring up The past:This is a huge step that I need to learn. I would say, one of the key ways to stop fighting in a relationship is to stop bringing up the past. The past is the past and the more that you bring it up, the worse the fight can actually be. Bringing up the past can also bring up a lot of old emotions, which is never good.

2. Don't Leave Things Unresolved:I know it's hard and you've probably heard it before, but going to bed angry is not going to solve anything. This can leave you both feeling extremely resentful and actually can make the fight last a lot longer. Why not resolve the fight before bed or at least talk it all out, so that you both can feel better?

3. Learn to Accept Each Other:Everyone in the world has flaws, some of the flaws are things that you've got to deal with, some of the flaws are things that you need to accept. This is where accepting each other for who you are comes in handy. Your boyfriend might never be the guy that brings home flowers and your girlfriend may never be the girl that can't stop nagging, but these are things that you need to learn to accept.

4. Figure Out The Root of The Problem:Every fight in the world has a root at the end of it. Once you figure out exactly what the root of the problem is, you'll be able to solve the problem and also solve the fight. It's not going to be easy, but it is going to be worth it.

5. Own up to Your Part of The Fight:One of the biggest problems that I have when I'm in a fight is that I get into my own head space – and I don't necessarily own up to my own part of the fight. It's hard to admit that you are wrong and to take the blame. Do it though. It's healthy and it'll make your partner appreciate you!

6. Ban The 'but':'But if you did this,' 'but if you did that,' eliminate the 'but' from your vocab when you are in a fight and you'll be way better off! I use the 'but' all of the time and truthfully, when I cut it out, the fight doesn't last nearly as long. Just curb your tongue a little!

7. Is This a Repeat Performance?I know that issues come up, but do you constantly have the same fight? Over and over again? Do you think that could be a sign? If you are constantly having a fight that revolves around a certain thing that your spouse does, why not bring it up to them calmly to stop the fight?

8. Remember What's Important:Finally, you always want to keep in mind that your relationship is very important and that you two are together for a reason. It's hard to keep that in mind when you are fighting, but it's so important.

While you might not feel like your relationship is amazing because of the constant fighting, there are tons of ways to stop fighting in your relationship, you just have to work at it. So, are you constantly fighting in your relationship?

Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, a towering figure in post-war British and world politics, and the first woman to become British prime minister, has died at the age of 87, her spokeswoman said Monday.

Thatcher served from 1979 to 1990 as leader of the Conservative Party. She was called the "Iron Lady" for her personal and political toughness.

Thatcher retired from public life after a stroke in 2002 and suffered several strokes after that.

She made few public appearances in her final months, missing a reception marking her 85th birthday hosted by Prime Minister David Cameron in October 2010. She also skipped the July 2011 unveiling of a statue honoring her old friend Ronald Reagan in London.

May Her gentle soul rest in peace..

There are many rich and famous people in the world, but not everyone knows the art to splurge it. However, Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah, better known as the Sultan of Brunei is one such person who is well versed with this art of spending the riches in the most lavish ways. One of the last remaining absolute monarchs in the world, Sultan has earned enough from reserves of oil and natural gas.

Wondering which country is Brunei? Let me tell you before i continue the gist..Brunei is a sovereign state located on the north coast of the island of Borneo, in Southeast Asia. Apart from its coastline with the South China Sea, it is completely surrounded by the state of Sarawak, Malaysia.The estimated Population of Brunei is 408,786.Brunei is the only country in the world that is not in debt.

The Sultan's passion for the world's most expensive, beautiful, rarest, fastest and unique cars knows no boundries, he owns over 7,000 high performance cars parked in his garage and worth about $5 billion and owns
1,932 luxurious cars which includes 600 Rolls Royce cars, over 300 Ferraris,134 Koenigeggs, 11 McLaren F1s, 6 Dauer Porsche 962 LMs and a number of luxurious Jaguars. He is famous for having some of the most luxuriously customized private jets like Boeing 747-400 and Airbus 340-200.

He loves luxurious cars to the point that he asked rolls royce and porsche to partner and come out with single car, and hence a rolls royce-porsche car was manufactured for him.

He also keeps a Rolls-Royce in front of his palace with the engine running 24-7. The Sultan got himself the only right hand drive Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR in the world.A car parked all the way at the back may need almost 1.5 hours to be brought out.

He has so many properties around the world, but my focus is on his fleet of cars.. Google about him to know more and yes it was forecasted that his son will be the first trillionaire in the world.. *Drops Mic*

Sexy Nollywood actress, Ini Edo, whose entrance at the unveiling of Glo X Factor show held at the Get Arena, Lekki, Lagos, last Wednesday, causes stir with her sexy curves and wow bum hidden inside the brown gown.

She was being asked to come to the red carpets for shots with teeming fans taking turns for photo ops and answering few questions.

In her word, “I think I was prettier when I was much younger. I saw some of my old pictures and I was like wow! Was this me? How did I become like this? I don’t know what I do really; not that I do so much. I work out as much as I can and try to eat right. I try to keep my skin colour by moisturizing and basically I try to be happy.”

On actresses toning or bleaching their skins, she said “I think it’s the most silly thing to do. It’s a big sign of lack of confidence. And I have never been tempted to do it.”

Ladies are always looking for tips to keep to keep the skin youthful so I looked for some little known anti-aging tips that we can use to keep our skin looking bright, beautiful and young! We’ve all heard about using sunscreen a million times and while it’s important, there is more to skin care than just using sunscreen! Check out these tips to keep skin youthful and maintain your girlish looks longer!

1. Eat Right:One of my favorite tips to keep skin youthful is to eat anti-aging foods! Who doesn’t love adding variety to their diet and eating healthy foods that benefit your skin and body?! Try incorporating more anti-aging foods like beans, fish, berries, spinach, nuts and kale to your daily diet and fight aging the tasty way! These foods are packed with protein and vitamins that’ll help fill you up and keep skin young!

2.Sleep on Silk:We all know that getting a sufficient amount of rest is important to keeping skin fresh, but we can take it a step further and sleep on a silk pillowcase! Sleeping on a silk pillowcase will not only help prevent wrinkles, but it’s also recommended for healthy hair. Another skin care tip when you’re sleeping is to try to sleep on your back to prevent wrinkles and lines from sleeping on your side or face.

3. Protect Your Neck:One of the easiest anti-aging tips we can follow is to always take our skin care products down to our neck. Don’t apply skin care products only to your face, keep going and cover your neck and even your décolletage, as it’s one of the first places that shows the signs of aging. Hey, you spend good money on your skin care products so put them to work on other areas as well!

4. Avoid Processed Sugar:This next skin care tip is a huge bummer for people like me with a sweet tooth, but processed sugar is your skin’s enemy! Sugar has been found to speed up the aging process and weaken the ever important collagen in our skin, which can lead to sagging and premature wrinkles. Stay away from sugary treats and stick to fruits whenever possible when sweet cravings strike!

5.Take a Time Out: Some of the best anti-aging tips are the most simple. This next tip recommends taking a time out and de-stressing. This doesn’t have to be costly or time-consuming activity, you can go get a massage, stretch or meditate for 15-20 minutes each day to keep stress in check and avoid getting lines and wrinkles from stress and tension.

6. Use Serum: Using serum as part of your skin care routine might not be a mind-blowing tip but it’s something that many women still don’t do. If you’re serious about anti-aging tips, serum is a skin care essential that will help deliver potent skin care ingredients to a deeper level of your skin due to the makeup of the serum. Serums are easily absorbed, work for a variety of skin tones and types and are very easy to use!

7. Reduce The Use Of Skin Care Products:A big part of these anti-aging tips are focused around skin care products, but when it comes to makeup, sometimes less is more. Dermatologists Dr. Kathy Fields and Katie Rodan of Proactiv fame recommend ditching the foundation on aging skin. They state that makeup can really settle into lines and wrinkles and magnify their appearance, so it’s best to keep makeup minimal and wear less as you age.

Incorporating these little known anti-aging tips can help keep your skin healthy and youthful. No matter how old you are, it’s important to take good care of our skin and get in the habit of using a proper skin care routine. Do you already do any of these skin care tips? Do you have any anti-aging tips or secrets that you’d like to share?

Linda Ikeji was asked on twitter if bloggers will be successful if they only blogged about education, moral values, etc? and Linda replied saying “of cus not! U kidding? Unfortunately..’Aint nobody gat time for dat! :-) even u sef!”…READ HER TWEETS AFTER THE CUTIn other words.

Little wonder why all the popular blogs are those that have to do with gossips and celebrity gist..

He is a joker just another plot to make the headline on blogging sites.. Lmao and yes he achieved it..I trust Stella!!!!!!!!

topeorekoy: Entertainment reporter Stella Dimoko Korkus wrote on her blog yesterday that she received a mail from the lawyers of popular Lagos based businessman and Monalisa Chinda's new beau, Lanre Nzeribe, asking her to retract a story she wrote on her blog and tender an unreserved apology or face a N500million lawsuit for defamation.

Below is what she wrote on her blog...

I opened my email and right there in my junkmail was this petition asking me to tender an apology or they will sue for Five hundred million naira(only?) if i do not tender a public apology on my blog in 48hours for what the lawyer terms slander.


First of all your petition referred to me as ''Dear Sir'' and my name is spelt in the saving jpeg as 'Stelladimokorus...''...Sorry to correct you oh,I am not a ''Sir'' and my name is as found on the blog ''STELLADIMOKO-KORKUS.

Let me categorically state it here that I refuse to be scared into a chickens nest by Mr Lanre Nzeribe your client.....I am sure you people can use google and can find other stories where those names you mentioned in your petition exist.There is no where in my memo that says''Lanre dated any Stella Damasus '' so there is nothing to take back.

If ''Mrs Stella Damasus is married to Emeka Nzeribe'' how come she is Mrs with her maiden name?Shouldn't it be Stella Damasus-Nzeribe?

You claim your client is Stella's husbands cousin and they are still married?

The same law which gives Mr lanre freedom of association also applies to me...A Nigerian citizen.
The memo i sent Mr Lanre Nzeribe and his (new) girlfriend Monalisa Chinda is HERE and I have re-read it and would like to know exactly what part i should be apologising for in the memo and if ''reverse'' means to delete..

You say Sir that ''a word is enough for the wise'' and I totally agree with you 100PERCENT!

I await your humble response and also use this opportunity to tell you that I no get five hundred million naira but if found guilty i can do community service in your clients house since if you squeeze me i cannot cough out the chicken change you want to ask for..

Thank you Sir(s)

PS----Please hurry with your Response Sir.and pardon any Mistakes,I am not as Learned as you and i was too much in a hurry to reply you in case una increase the money to ten hundred million naira.God Bless

Big and séxy, Eniola Badmus, popularly known as Gbogbo Bigz Girls, came into the limelight in Funke Akindele’s film, Jenifa. And since then, she has not looked back.

In this interview with The Entertainer, she talked about her career and other issues. Excerpts:

What are you doing presently?

Currently, I am working on my profile, to look inwards and move into the corporate world, do some corporate shows or probably get an endorsement.

You shot into the limelight with the bad girl character in the films, jenifa and Omo Gheto; are you that bad a person?

No, I am a very simple person, I m a cool babe.

You once told me that after your university you just walked into an audition session and got a role, were you harassed séxually as being claimed by some people?

There is no industry where there is no séxual harassment because if it did not happen to you, you will not have the gut to say ‘wow! I have come a long way’.

So, it happened to you?

Obviously, It happened to me so there is no big deal about it. The fact remains that I must be harassed séxually because I am séxy and big and I know it. So, it’s bound to happen to anybody but the way you handle it matters.

How séxy are you?

That’s personal. I don’t want to go into that.

Where did you grow up?

My growing up was good and wonderful. I have wonderful parents who wanted the best for me that’s why I studied up to Masters degree level.

As a séxy person, how do you cope with male admirers?

I am very, very comfortable with guys because I have a lot of them as friends. I like to be in the midst of guys, I love them.

How is your love life, are you into any relationship?

My love life is cool and my relationship is private too.

How was your first séxual experience?

Aha, that is still private.

Do you enjoy séx?

That is rotten; I can’t talk about that too.

What do you like most about your body?

I like myself, I like my body, at times I think I’m the only person created like this because I’m not only big, I’m also séxy.

When are you getting married?

Soon, very soon because I am in my 30s and I only need just three years to have my two babies.

Which part of your body do you protect more?

I protect every part of my body because my body is a temple of God, which must not be exposed.

Do you use a special bra?

So, you want to know my bra size? Okay, I will tell you. I wear 38 Triple D.

Which colour of bra do you prefer?

No, no, I won’t answer that, that is too confidential.

How did you come into acting?

I have been around since 1999, I just walked into an audition centre and I was chosen.

How has it been?

It’s been a whole lot of challenges because at first it was not easy, but we glorify the name of the Lord.

Dear Compatriots,

I greet and felicitate with you all as we celebrate Easter which commemorates the resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ after his redemptive self-sacrifice for the eternal salvation of mankind.

Irrespective of our religion or faith, all holidays provide us with a fresh opportunity to establish stronger bonds with our family, friends and all those around us for more enduring, harmonious and beneficial relationships.

See the rest after the cut...

As we celebrate this year’s Easter therefore, I urge all Nigerians to rededicate themselves to living in peace and oneness with all members of their communities no matter their ethnicity, religious beliefs or places of origin.

By now, it ought to be an accepted fact amongst us that our immense potential for greatness in the comity of nations derives in the main from our collective strength as a country of close to 170 million people and the acclaimed richness of our diverse human resources and natural endowments.

It follows, therefore, that to successfully achieve our vision of becoming one of the most dominant nations on the global stage in the shortest possible time, we must stay together as a people and continue to effectively resist by all possible means, the evil machinations of global terrorists and their misguided domestic accomplices who seek to provoke turmoil, hatred and harmful divisions among us.

I assure all Nigerians that our security agencies, armed forces and I will continue to fully discharge our constitutional responsibilities for protecting the unity and territorial integrity of this country with all the powers and forces at our disposal.

We must have peace, security and stability to effectively implement our agenda for national transformation in all parts of the country and we shall continue to work ceaselessly to re-establish the prerequisite conditions for nationwide progress and development.

For your part, dear countrymen and women, I urge you to continue to exhibit restraint and understanding in the face of seeming provocations. Those who mindlessly and indiscriminately attack churches, schools, health workers, motor-parks, banks and ordinary road users must be seen as they truly are: the brainwashed pawns of international terrorism.

They do not represent any true religion or section of the country and we must never play into their hands by succumbing to their nefarious ploys to incite religious, ethnic hatred and division among us.

It is my hope and prayer that as we celebrate the glorious resurrection of our Saviour, Jesus Christ, his lessons of self-sacrifice, brotherly love, placing others before self, tolerance, obedience, respect for lawful authorities, dutifulness, diligence, honesty, justice and fairness to all will take firmer root in our beloved country and help us to overcome present challenges and build the more peaceful, secure, united, progressive and prosperous nation of our dreams.

I wish you all happy Easter celebrations.

Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR
