Social media personality, Kemi Olunloyo has said that popular blogger, Linda Ikeji broke up a relationship between her cousin and popular On Air Personality, Dan Foster.

Ms Olunloyo made the claim during a recent appearance on Frankly Speaking With Jola Sotubo. “I have a lot of history with Linda. She was the one that came between my cousin’s wedding and Dan Foster.” Ms Olunloyo said. “Dan Foster and Deola Olunloyo, my cousin, were going to get married and the wedding was cancelled three weeks to the wedding because of a model called Linda Ikeji. She wrecked the home, she was having an affair with Dan,” she added.

Ms Olunloyo also said that Linda is 41-years-old and not 35. “She’s not 30-something, Linda is 41. The age on Wikipedia is a lie. She’s 41, I have my very good sources. If I don’t I won’t say things out,” she said.

Female reggae dancehall singer Cynthia Morgan whose white Range Rover automobile was stolen a few weeks ago has been spotted moving around in taxis. It is reported that the singer is quite down psychologically and emotionally at the moment. She has also decided to be indoors, keeping to herself most of the time.

“But if it is important for her to go out, she takes taxis. I actually understand her grief because she said goodbye to that club barely six months ago when the Range Rover arrived, but she is back to square one now. It hurts everybody,” our source said.

The automobile with customized registration number KRUZZ was stolen about two weeks ago from a compound in Omole Phase1 where Cynthia’s driver parked it after dropping her at the airport. The driver, who was later arrested by Cynthia as a suspect, was the first to report the theft incident at Grammar School police station, Ojodu, Lagos. Efforts by the police to recover the vehicle have so far proved abortive. Cynthia Morgan was away in Abuja as at the time of the car theft.

God will give her another one soon! #fact

THERE is no doubt that all is not well with recipients of the Rivers State Overseas Scholarship scheme. The beneficiaries are not just going through hard times and trying to make ends meet; they are finding it difficult to survive in the United Kingdom and other parts of Europe.

With several months of unpaid allowances, rents and tuitions, some of the students, whose parents could not foot the bills, have since returned home without completing their studies.

While some stayed back because their parents could pay their tuition and other expenses, others have taken up menial jobs to survive.

According to one of the recipients who is studying at the University of Sussex in the United Kingdom, the past 16 months have been hectic, as he had to clean students’ hostels in order to earn some money to feed himself.

The student, who simply gave his name as Julius for fear of victimisation, added that combining menial job with his studies had drastically affected his health.

Julius, who said he was in the first class grade before the state government stopped the scholarship initiative, noted that he stopped doing the menial job when it became obvious that it was affecting his health.

“Personally, I had to stop working because combining work with my studies affected my mental health. I suffered depression and my studies suffered greatly.

“I was a first class student, but because of the struggle to feed; having to work and go to school, my performance dropped to second class lower. I had to stop working because of my health and since then, my result has improved. I am now a second class upper student.

“I was cleaning the students’ hostels. The money was only for feeding and not for rent and tuition. What I was paid then was not enough to take care of such needs,” Julius, currently working as an ambassador for the university, told our correspondent on Sunday.

The young man, whose ambassadorial job entails persuading other Nigerian students to register with the university, also revealed that a Good Samaritan had been paying his rent.

Noting that the state government last paid their allowances in December 2014, he lamented that some of his colleagues had returned home.

Another beneficiary of the scheme at the University of Szeged in Hungary said, on the condition of anonymity, that since the state government’s withdrawal of the gesture, life had been difficult for her.

On her survival strategy, she said her parents had been taking care of her tuition and other allowances at a high cost.

“In Hungary, we are not allowed to work and since they (Rivers State Government) have not paid anybody for some time now, my parents are doing everything for me. But the truth is that it has been difficult. We are 17 in number from my state that came into the university in Hungary,” the student, who is in her third year, said.

The student, who appealed to the state government to review its decision and offset their bills, noted that more students would soon return home due to their inability to pay their tuition and rents.

She said, “We are aware that the economy is bad back home, but we are appealing to the governor to try his best to take care of our needs. Many of us are suffering here. Some of us, who have gone past second year, do not want to return home. If we return home without getting our certificates, it means the efforts made so far would amount to a waste.”

Zinah Barile, who studies at the University of Huddersfield, the UK, told our correspondent in a telephone interview that many of them on the scholarship list in the UK, had taken to babysitting and other menial jobs in order to feed and clothe themselves.
ADD US ON BBM : GRN247, 5317E2E4.

Barile said, “It has been very terrible for me and my friends. Academically and financially, we have had severe setbacks over the past few months. Tuition is unpaid and we have not received funds for accommodation for the past 16 months. Some universities have suspended their students. Some of us who would have been in final year in June are already in Nigeria.

“The suspension of the scheme is heartbreaking. There is news circulating that it is only children and relatives of politicians that are enjoying the scholarship. That is a lie. I am one of the beneficiaries that was selected on merit.

“Our parents now have to face the task of sending us money, despite the falling rate of naira. I will advise the state government to have a re-think and allow those of us already enjoying the offer to complete the programne.”

Apart from interviews with our correspondent, an online post on Facebook by three Rivers students at the University of Szeged, Hungary, named Osaki, Precious and Cynthia, also painted a pitiable picture of the challenges they were facing.

They said, “We are currently third year medical students at the University of Szeged, Hungary, and we need your assistance. In 2011, the Rivers State Government offered us scholarships after going through a series of screening. We got admitted to the university in 2013.

“Until about a year ago, things were going well for us and life at the university was great. Then we stopped getting funds from our sponsor. The state government has literally abandoned us to fend for ourselves in a foreign country. Because we did not pay our tuition in the first semester of our third year, the school has terminated our status as students. Right now, we are on the verge of going back to Nigeria without completing our studies (four years, including this present year).

“We have exhausted all available options. This is our last resort to raise money to finish our programme. We have come so far not to give up now. We believe that with your help, we can achieve our dreams.”

Even as the students cry out for help, the state government does not seem to be in a hurry to rescind its decision. Governor Nyesom Wike, for the umpteenth time, had described the scholarship scheme as a fraud. Last December, the governor said that the scheme was a conduit to swindle the state.

According to Wike, the past administration sidelined the state scholarship board and appropriated its powers to award scholarships through the state Sustainable Development Agency, which engaged the services of consultants to source beneficiaries of the scheme.

“From the report I have, it is a scam. Why carry out the scheme through consultants when you have the scholarship board? From the report I have, if N2bn were to be the fees, N900m was paid to the consultants. This is a scam. Any money for scholarship must pass through the scholarship board.

“Why did you establish a scholarship board only to hand over the selection exercise to consultants? It is not acceptable. There is no how I can continue with that. That is not a good policy. So, anything that has to do with scholarship will go to the scholarship board,” the governor said.

Despite taking this position, our correspondent learnt that the governor had released some funds to cater to the needs of some of the students, especially those in final year.

Meanwhile, attempts to get the response of the State Commissioner for Education, Prof. Kainye Ebeku, on the matter failed, as a man, who identified himself as his personal assistant answered the call and advised that a text message be forwarded to his phone.

But the commissioner did not respond to the message sent to him by our correspondent as of 6pm on Monday.

Recipients of the Rivers State Overseas Scholarship Scheme are facing hard times following the suspension of the scheme, CHUKWUDI AKASIKE write.

Olodos

In a recent interview the actor talked about his project R.A.W, dating older women and his relationships.

Clearing the air on people thinking him a gigolo, he said, “I am good looking so I pass on for that person but that’s not what I am.” On his love for older women, “That is not true, I do not like older women.”

The model also revealed he is a very private person and family oriented. “I love my family. They have been my support.”

The actor recently disclosed his ideal lady. According to him, she has to be “a strong woman who is down to earth, very ambitious and knows what she wants, she is intelligent, understanding, very supportive, and knows when to be a woman.”

Speaking about the things that turn him on in a lady, Emmanuel revealed, “I appreciate someone who brings light and positive vibes to an environment with the way she talks and comports herself. I also like a woman who is very intelligent, someone who I can share ideas with. Someone who can challenge me and talk about creative stuff.

A woman with a great sense of humour, who can take a joke and understands that things are never that serious. Someone who is happy and fun loving and listens.”

According to him, falling in love means there is no longer self in the decisions one makes.

LOL! Wonders

Disgraceful members of the Nasarawa State House of Assembly on Friday have been caught on camera exchanging heated words and punches.

This happened after the Governor, Tanko Al-Makura, appointed and inaugurated sole administrators to man the affairs of 11 local government councils after the two-year tenure of the chairmen of the 11 LGAs expired on March 24. They were to take over pending when elections would be conducted.

The swearing-in ceremony of the administrators were held at the Conference Hall of the Government House where members of State Executive Council, traditional rulers and other dignitaries were present.

Some lawmakers were however unhappy with the Governor’s decision, as they already planned to conduct elections immediately after the expiration of the tenure of the local government council chairmen.

Six out of the 24 lawmakers alleged that other lawmakers had received money to go against their resolution.

Things became heated when the House leader moved for the suspension of the six lawmakers and everything became chaotic as the suspended members prevented the sitting.

Soul Diva, Waje is open to the idea of having plastic surgery on her breasts, but not the one you have in mind. The singer recently revealed that rather than breast enhancement surgery, she would like to have breast reduction surgery.

She made the revelation on this week’s episode of MTV Base Word On The Street with VJ Stephanie while responding to a question from Twitter user @kazzang, “Would you ever consider plastic surgery?” Clarifying why she would like to have breast reduction as against enlargement, she jokingly remarked to an amused Stephanie,“As me and you are sitting down here, don’t you like that they are seeing your face? Do you want me to cover the screen?”

In the course of the show, Waje also answered questions about her relationship status and whether she was actually naked in the video of her song “I Wish”.

'Dave and Golly' is said to be the first stop motion 3D animation in Nigeria. The fifty minutes long animated film will be released Nationwide in the second quarter of 2015.

"Dave and Golly", although was inspired by a biblical epic that anyone can watch, has its own twists, turns surprises and additional characters that are bound to leave movie lovers wanting for more.

The film was put together by a group of Nigerians who form the media company, #Ash Seven. The company strives to inspire youths through art and creativity, and "Dave and Golly" does just so.

Animator and director of the film: Victor Enoch, at first had no intentions whatsoever to make a 3D film anytime soon, but having created smashing animated hits like “The House of Ajebo Comedy Skits”, he tweaked his goals a bit and set to achieve it. Mr.Victor Enoch said "it’s already taking about a year to do the movie but the effort will definitely be worth it". “We want to make this international, we want this country to be known for having great animation standards, and that’s why we’re trying to make it happen and make it perfect. It’s going to take a lot of work because the other Animation companies [Disney, Pixar, Marvel] have put in a lot of years work, but someday we’ll get to that spot,” he said.

Voice actor Daniel Okosun doubles as the Public Relations agent for, #Ash Seven and as the voice of antagonist Golly said there was a lot of work done to make sure the film becomes a reality.

At the recent press conference of “David and Golly” in Abuja, The Secretary and Marketer to the group, Miss Mani-Tiffany Tela, also mentioned that "Dave and Golly" is not a Christian film, it’s a movie for everyone. She said to watch out for good quality and humour.

Mr. Emeka Ibe, who is the assistant director of #AshSeven added that “David and Golly” will be in the cinema soon.
