CelebritiesDon Jazzy. Disvirgined Me_tonto. Dike by luvility(op): 2:44pm On Sep 22, 2013
Tonto Dikeh is never a mile away from
controversy. And this time around, she has not
released a new single and uploaded a semi-unclad
picture.
The Nollywood
actress,
sensationally claimed via Twitter, that her first s*xual
experience, was with foremost music producer, Don
Jazzy.
“I got disvirgined by @DONJAZZY i think this a lil bit Too
Much info,” she wrote.
Don Jazzy, who was online at the time, chose to respond
with humour. He wrote: “lol me dat im still a V,” (‘V’
meaning virgin).
A lot of fans were amused and shocked at the same
time and reacted differently. Some did not believe it,
stating clearly that Tonto was still on her attention-
seeking mission.
But it might just be true, as Don Jazzy, once dated the
actress and admitted it sometime back

CelebritiesWizkid Stoned.and.porshe Damaged. By Angry Fans by luvility(op): 2:30pm On Sep 22, 2013
They say with
great power
comes great responsibility.
Ayodeji Balogun a.k.a Wizkid faced a mob of fans
yesterday at VFS Global Services, Lekki phase 1.
The fans tagged Wizkid as arrogant and rude because he
refused to ‘shake body’.
Wizkid encountered cheering fans who were elated to
catch a glimpse of their Superstar.
He was dressed in a White T-shirt and a Red Sofa Shoe
came in his infamous black Porshce Cayenne with covered
number plates.
The mob of fans wanted to shake and snap pictures
with Wizkid and definitely wanted the superstar to drop
some naira notes as well.
According to report, Wizkid came outside the VFS
Compound where he had gone to submit travelling
documents for Canada and shunned the cheering crowd.
All efforts to get Wizkid to snap pictures, shake or even
show “some love” financially to the cheering crowd fell
on deaf ears as the Star Boy CEO completely ignored
everyone as he walked arrogantly into the waiting
Porsche Cayenne.
Witnesses at the scene confirmed that Wizkid’s silence
and arrogant attitude got the cheering fans pissed
hence, they resulted into throwing stones at him as he
made to drive out.
Unfortunately for Wizkid, one of the many stones caught
his car side glass but the singer didn’t seem to mind as
he just drove away.
CelebritiesTop 5 Richest Nigerian Female Actresses by luvility(op): 11:42pm On Sep 21, 2013
In Nigeria, some movie stars have proven again and again
that they can guarantee return on investment as long as
their faces adorn the poster. They are Genevieve Nnaji,
Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, Omoni Oboli, Funke Akindele and Nse
Ikpe-Etim. Or how else could one explain the success of box
office hits like Mirror Boy, Ije, and Tango With Me all having
Genevieve Nnaji starring in them? And what about Figurine
and Anchor Baby which both starred Omoni Oboli as the lead
actress?
Mirror Boy, Tango With Me, Last Flight to Abuja and Phone
Swap all had sizeable negative reviews, yet they topped the
box office, made huge profit and left many Hollywood
movies far behind. Here, The Entertainer takes a look at
Nollywood’s five bankable actresses, their earnings and
what is possibly working for them.
Genevieve Nnaji
Topping the list of five is Genevieve Nnaji. Love or hate her,
Genny as she is fondly called, has a way with cinema
audiences that make them come back again and again for
her movies.
So far, Genevieve’s starring in the movies has grossed over
N83 million at the box office. Mirror Boy (described by the
actress as her first major film and the first to put her at
the box-office) made N18 million, while Ije netted N60 million
turning out to be Nigeria’s highest grossing movie ever. But
Genevieve had to share the money with Omotola, who also
acted alongside her. If the sharing formula is 50-50, then
Genevieve gets N30 million of the total gross.
Genevieve’s next movie, Tango with Me went on to make
N35 million. So, putting all the figures together, Genny
remains at the head of the pack. What seem to be working
for Genevieve are her enduring power, popularity and social
media connection. The actress has been there for over a
decade and is still waxing stronger. Her wine seems to
taste better with age.
Another plus for Genny is her popularity. Genevieve is hugely
popular across Africa and most especially among the
youths. Before now, she has been very active on the social
media especially Twitter. She even had to put up a
Facebook advert after reports emerged that some acts
were ahead of her there.
Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde
Next on the list is Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde with box-office
gross of N60 million. She made N24 million with Last Flight to
Abuja, N6 million from Private Storm and her N30 million
share in Ije bring her total earning to N60 million.
This year alone, no actress has made as much as N24 million
from a single movie; Funke Akindele would have done so with
The Return of Jenifa but the movie hit the box office in
2011.
Omotola, who was reported to have been paid N5 million by
Tarila Thompson all in the bid to make his movie a
blockbuster, has been described as the biggest box office
actress of 2012. She recorded successes back to back but
it remains to be seen if she can pull off the box office
magic again with Amina and other movies coming in 2013.
Omotola has been an A-list actress even before Genevieve
got her first big break and so what has been working for
her is the wise investment in her brand. Her enduring
presence and unceasing contact with her fans via the
social media has made her popular even in an environment
where a mother of four like her is not fashionable.
Funke Akindele
Surprisingly, the third person on the list is Funke Akindele, a
young lady who rose to fame in I Need To Know, a TV series,
and went on to earn a monstrous fame with Jenifa.
Funke is an unlikely candidate on this list. Now, how can one
explain that she is third on a list parading heavy weights like
Omoni Oboli, Nse Ikpe-Etim and Stephanie Okereke among
others?
So far, Funke has made over N56 million, netting over N20
million in 2012 alone. In The Return of Jenifa, Funke netted
N35 million. The movie ran till February 2012. Her movie,
Married but Living Single made N9.9 million while Maami made
N11 million. The actress is on her way to another cinema
glory with a movie, A Wish. Let’s hope she will be able to
wave the magical wand again and create a box-office
success.
For Funke who recently got married, the plus factor for
her is her huge popularity among the masses and elites. Her
movie, Jenifa cuts across all social groups with the street
parlance in it becoming the mode of communication in social
gathering. And as an icing on the cake, Funke has moved
upscale, she is now the toast of events organized by the
rich and not so rich. Her box office credibility transcends
the cinema as all DVDs parading her face turn into gold.
Omoni Oboli
Omoni Oboli, who is still largely unknown to those who don’t
patronise the cinema and social media, is fourth on the list.
She is a silent achiever. Before the trio of Genevieve,
Omotola and Funke even dreamt of hitting the box office,
Omoni Oboli already took the lead. Figurine, her first box
office appearance made N13 million while her second effort,
Anchor Baby made N18 million bringing her total earning to
N31million.
Omoni’s strength is her exclusivity and knack for quality. It
is a known fact that if the project is not big and ambitious,
Omoni might not do it. The disadvantage of that is, despite
her box office credibility, Omoni is still unknown in areas
where there is no access to cinemas. Perhaps, that is the
reason she tries to make up with the red carpet presence.
For now, the exclusivity is working for Omoni; perhaps her
new movie, Broken and other works will introduce a new
twist. One other thing that should not be forgotten is the
unprecedented publicity of Anchor Baby in 2010. The film
also had Omoni at the forefront of meeting and greeting of
fans at the cinemas.
Nse Ikpe-Etim
The fifth slot belongs to Nse Ikpe-Etim. She seems to be
the latest sensation in big budget movies. In Mr and Mrs,
Nse was a delight, her performance was a reference point
and it was a hook that kept drawing people to the cinema
while the movie was there.
Mr and Mrs made N6 million while another of her film, Phone
Swap made N20 million, making a total of N26 million.
Too early for Nse to cement her place, as she hasn’t done
N15 million back-to-back but one thing the actress has made
clear is that she has intention of doing that. The leading
four acts should be afraid of Nse because her strength lies
in her pure acting talent.
Nse is born to act, deemed to be unnecessarily assertive a
times, but you can’t accuse her of not knowing her lines.
And she pushes her movies with virgour, moving from one
cinema to the other.
However, Nse should watch it as many have accused her of
being too ‘self-conscious’, a term casually used for budding
stars who have ‘over-hyped’ impression of themselves as
this could alienate fans who make the box-office count.
Rita Dominic and Stephanie Okereke
Rita Dominic and Stephanie Okereke should readily make the
list but they haven’t appeared at the cinemas more than
once. Hopefully, Rita will break into the list with The Meeting,
Lion of 76 and Street of Calabar while Stephanie already
had N10 million under her belt with Through the Glass.
Of course, there are exceptions to the rules. A bankable
star makes easier the job of a producer; the absence of
one, however, is not a ready-made doom for a movie as
Avatar and Slumdog Millionaire (both global box office hits)
have shown. But if one would take a risk or err, it’s better
to err on the part of caution.

EducationASUU Meets With VP Sambo To Find Lasting Solution To The Ongoing Strike by luvility(op): 12:12am On Sep 20, 2013
ASUU has been on strike since June 30.
The Vice President Namadi Sambo has, in a bid to end the
continuous gridlock in the dialogue between the Academic
Staff Union of Universities, ASUU and federal government,
taken over the negotiation process. The government’s
negotiation team was formerly headed by the Secretary to
the Government of the Federation, Pius Anyim.
For the first time since the commencement of the over 10-
week-old strike action by the union, the Vice President met
with the leadership of the union at the Presidential Villa on
Thursday.
The meeting was held behind closed doors.
Nigerian Universities have been shut down since June 30 as a
result of federal government’s failure to honour an
agreement signed between it and ASUU in 2009 bothering on
issues of university funding and improvement of
infrastructure in the sector.
Speaking to journalists at the Presidential Villa after the
closed door meeting, the ASUU President, Nasir Fagge, said
that he was taking back a “message given to him at the
meeting for his members” and that Nigerians would have to
wait for the response of his members on the way forward.
“We have had a meeting with the Vice President and he has
given us a message to our members, and we said that as the
messengers that we are, we are going to deliver the
message faithfully to our members and then they will take
the decision.”
According to him, “I know Nigerians are expecting a solution to
the strike, we also want a solution, but I have been given a
message to our members. The message is not for Nigerians,
it is for our members”.
“If I deliver the message, our principal will decide and we will
get back to the ministry of education within this week,” he
added, saying the union would get back to the education
minister on its stance on the government’s latest offer.
The federal government had offered N100 billion and N30 billion
for infrastructure development in various universities and
payment of verified earned allowances of lecturers
respectively. It is not clear if the government made an
improved offer for the lecturers whose only demand is that
government implements fully the 2009 agreement.
The Minister of State for Education, Nyesom Wike, who was
also at the meeting, explained that the meeting had been
convened to find a lasting solution to the crisis.
“One is quit hopeful that ASUU is committed, they have the
passion and that there is the need for us to move the
education sector forward.
“ASUU coming to discuss means that they are committed on
their own part and that the federal government is also
committed. We have gone very far, we believe that in no
distance time, you will have a very good result,” he said.
Also on the ASUU delegation were two former Presidents of
ASUU, Dipo Fasina and Abdullahi Sule-Kano.
Other members of the government’s delegation included the
Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission
(NUC), Julius Okojie; as well as the Vice Chancellors of Bayero
University Kano (BUK), University of Ibadan (UI) and Abubakar
Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU) Bauchi, Abdulrasheed
Abubakar, Isaac Adewole, and Muhammed Muhammed
respectively.

HealthRe: Beyond Malaria,mosquito Can Cause Dengue Fever by luvility(op): 10:04am On Sep 16, 2013
- Dengue should be suspected when a high fever
(40°C/104°F) is accompanied by two of the following
symptoms: severe headache, pain behind the eyes, muscle
and joint pains, nausea, vomiting, swollen glands or rash.
- Symptoms usually last for two to seven days, after an
incubation period of four to10 days after the bite from an
infected mosquito.
- Severe dengue is a potentially deadly complication due to
plasma leaking, fluid accumulation, respiratory distress,
severe bleeding, or organ impairment.
- Warning signs occur three to seven days after the first
symptoms, in conjunction with a decrease in temperature
(below 38°C/100°F) and include: severe abdominal pain,
persistent vomiting, rapid breathing, bleeding gums, fatigue,
restlessness, blood in vomit.
- The next 24–48 hours of the critical stage can be lethal;
proper medical care is needed to avoid complications and
risk of death.
- Dengue hemorrhagic fever tends to affect children under
10 years of age. It causes abdominal pain, hemorrhage
(bleeding), and circulatory collapse (shock).

HealthBeyond Malaria,mosquito Can Cause Dengue Fever by luvility(op): 9:49am On Sep 16, 2013
In our part of the world, the mosquito buzz is a familiar,
though hateful, tune that we hear rather frequently.
As individuals, we do all that is possible to protect ourselves
and loved ones from the deadly bite that a mosquito can
inflict. And when we suspect that we’ve subscribed to the
fever that comes as a result, the next line of action is to
seek urgent medical attention.
At governmental level and with support from international
donors, all efforts have been deployed towards ridding
endemic areas of mosquitoes. From subsidising drugs for
combination therapies for those who have been exposed
to mosquito bite, to the distribution of free insecticide-
treated nets; as well as sensitisation campaigns in all
relevant media, it is obvious that no one should treat
mosquito bite with levity.
The fear is not without scientific backing. French scientists
had captured what happens in your body right from the
moment you are exposed to a mosquito bite, to the
moment you start seeing the physical effects by way of
illness.
The scientists are of the view that when a mosquito bites,
it doesn’t just draw blood, but in fact probes around under
the skin to find a blood vessel, usually for several minutes
at a time.
Led by Valerie Choumet, researchers at the Pasteur
Institute in Paris say some people, especially in Africa and
Asia, are bitten several times every day. Each time a
mosquito bites an individual, the researchers say, the blood-
sucking mosquito drinks for an average of four minutes!
While on their murderous biting spree, the scientists warn,
mosquitoes suck so hard that the besieged blood vessels
start to collapse. “Some of these cells rupture, spilling
blood into the surrounding spaces,” the scientists say.
When this happens, the mosquito naturally gets excited,
drinking from the pool of blood created.
Worse still, the researchers say, malaria-carrying
mosquitoes would spend longer time probing around for
blood vessels, “which suggests that the malaria-causing
parasite, Plasmodium, may be controlling the insect’s
nervous system.”
Enter dengue fever
But beyond the mortal fear that malaria fever — a
consequence of Anopheles mosquito bite — inspires, a
worse disease looms large but it has not attracted as
much due attention as has malaria fever.
According to the World Health Organisation, dengue is a
mosquito-borne viral infection found in tropical and sub-
tropical regions around the world. WHO notes that the
incidence of dengue has grown dramatically around the
world in recent decades; and over 2.5 billion people — more
than 40 per cent of the world’s population — are now at
risk from dengue
WHO says further that the infection causes flu-like illness,
and occasionally develops into a potentially lethal
complication called severe dengue, or Dengue Haemorrhagic
Fever.
Scientists lament that about half of the world’s population
is now at risk of developing dengue fever, while severe
dengue is regarded as a leading cause of serious illness and
death among children in some Asian and Latin American
countries.
Bad enough, the number of dengue fever cases has been
on the increase in recent times, as it spreads to new areas
and explosive outbreaks are occurring. Worse still,
researchers say, more than one-third of the world’s
population live in areas at risk for transmission, and this
includes Nigeria.
As worrisome as it is, physicians say, there is no specific
treatment for dengue or severe dengue, but early
detection and access to proper medical care lowers
fatality rates below one per cent. To prevent dengue, they
say, we need effective vector control measures.
Dengue fever in-depth
Epidemiologist, Mr. Segilola Araoye, explains that dengue
fever is a painful, debilitating mosquito-borne disease
caused by any one of four closely related dengue viruses.
“The viruses are related to the viruses that cause West
Nile infection and yellow fever,” he says.
Experts say dengue is transmitted by the bite of an Aedes
mosquito that has been infected with a dengue virus. The
mosquito itself becomes infected when it bites a person
who has the dengue virus in his blood. As the infected
mosquito feeds on more people, it spreads the virus
directly from one person to another.
Araoye says that as is the case with many diseases,
doctors can only diagnose dengue viral infection with a
standard blood test to check for the virus or antibodies to
it.
General practitioner, Dr. Tunde George, says there is no
vaccine for dengue; nor are there specific medications to
treat a dengue infection.
“Because dengue fever is caused by a virus, there is no
specific medicine or antibiotic to treat it. For typical dengue
fever, the treatment is purely concerned with relief of the
symptoms. This makes prevention the most important
step, and prevention means avoiding mosquito bites,”
George enthuses.
Experts warn that the risk of being bitten by Aedes
mosquito is highest during the early morning, several hours
after daybreak, and in the late afternoon before sunset,
though mosquitoes may feed at any time of the day.
And would you know, mosquitoes generally thrive in heavily
populated residential areas.
Again, physicians say, Aedes mosquitoes typically live indoors
and are often found in dark, cool places such as in the
closets, under the beds, behind the curtains, and in
bathrooms. The best bet, therefore, is to regularly frisk
these areas by keeping them clutter- and moist-free; while
also allowing for fresh air in the home.

Celebrities9ice Goes Back To School by luvility(op): 7:12am On Sep 09, 2013
After having one of the most successful albums of all
time, 9nice has decided to go back and pursue his
career as a lawyer.
In a recent interview with Nigerian Tribune, the “Gongo
Aso” crooner clearly stated that Being a lawyer was
his biggest dream.

See excerpts below:
Your decision to leave school wouldn’t have gone
down well with your parents, how did they
react to it and what was constantly coming to
your mind back then?
It was not an easy decision to make. There
were days that I had to live in the studio.
Talking about my parents’ reaction, I had to lie
for a while, pretended as if all was well. Before
my parents knew I wasn’t in school, it was too
late to complain because I was already on TVs,
making money and rocking shows all around.

Would you consider going back
to school someday?
I’m in school already, studying public safety and
Common Law at Capella university. It is an
online programme. I can’t think of any other
course except law.

Would you trade your being famous for
something else if you look at some of the bad
side of fame that you have experienced over
time?
Yes, I will love to trade fame with some silent
life that does not arrogate too much
attention to one, but it has got nothing to do
with any bad experience. No matter what you
do or who you are, there’s always a difficult
time and life challenges that you can’t run
away from. But I will really love to trade
because I wish to be a lawyer.That has always
been my dream.

Do you think life would have been different for
you should you have been a lawyer?
Honestly, life as a normal person is fine and more
wonderful, free, fair and peaceful. But as a public
figure, you enjoy more and you pay more in terms of
the price you pay for being famous. If I come to this
world again, I would prefer normal life

If you are not receiving a response back from
employers about the resume you submitted,
there could be a variety of reasons. Perhaps you
do not have the particular qualifications the
employer is seeking. Or, perhaps you are not
properly communicating your strengths,
experience, and skills.
Take a hard look at your resume and revamp it
for effectiveness. Imagine you’re in the elevator
with Donald Trump (or another CEO) heading
up to the 18th floor and you had only 30 seconds
to make your pitch, what would you say? If an
employer cannot see what you have to offer or
understand how your particular experience and
skills are applicable to the job, you are not
going to receive that callback to come in for an
interview.
Common culprits that make a resume less
effective include:
1. Poor Opening
If your resume starts with an “Objective”
indicating what you are looking for rather than
what you have to offer to an employer, you have
already lost points right there. Even if your
resume does start with a “Summary of
Qualifications” or something similar to that
effect, you have to ask, “Does it immediately and
clearly tell the employer why I’m the right fit for
the job?” An effective opening creates a theme
that says, “Here is what I am best at” and this
theme would be continued to prove it by
showcasing your accomplishments in your
various jobs.
2. Not Using It As A Marketing Tool
A resume is used to help get your foot in the
door with an employer. It is not a legal
document and there is no need to include
information that is irrelevant. The more
irrelevant information you put on your resume,
the easier it will be for an employer to come to
the conclusion that you are not an appropriate
candidate for the job. Use your resume to help
demonstrate particular accomplishments,
experiences, and skills that the employer can
benefit from. Your mission is to simply put out
a sufficient amount of information to garner the
employer’s interest. Save details for the
interview.
It is similar to when you view a movie trailer –
it contains highlights of just enough
information to entice you to want to view the
movie, but it doesn’t tell the full story. Adding
information that does not provide impact
immediately on a resume is like viewing dull
scenes in the movie trailer, making the overall
package less effective.
3. Inappropriate Personal Information
Some personal information, such as hobbies,
may be explicitly placed on the resume to help
tell the employer more about your character.
However, if what you list is unprofessional and
inappropriate for the profession, it can ruin
your shot at making a good impression with the
employer. At the same time, there are instances
when personal information is included without
you fully realizing it. For instance, be cautious of
your e-mail address. Your username or domain
for the e-mail address can give off the wrong
impression if it reads something similar to,
“partyanimal@…” or “… @peoplehater.”
If you are including a website or blog address,
make sure the information you have on it is
appropriate and relevant for the job. Also, even
if you are not publicizing digital information,
employers may be screening your activity on
sites like LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook, so
check your privacy settings or make sure what’s
on your public profile is appropriate for a
potential employer to see.
Securing an employer’s attention is more
challenging today. There are many qualified
candidates available on the market for
employers to select from. Make sure your
resume shows impact from the start by telling
the employer why you are the right fit for the
job. Demonstrate what you have accomplished
to show for it, and present a clean digital trail
on the Internet for an appropriate impression.

information that is irrelevant. The more
irrelevant information you put on your resume,
the easier it will be for an employer to come to
the conclusion that you are not an appropriate
candidate for the job. Use your resume to help
demonstrate particular accomplishments,
experiences, and skills that the employer can
benefit from. Your mission is to simply put out
a sufficient amount of information to garner the
employer’s interest. Save details for the
interview.
It is similar to when you view a movie trailer –
it contains highlights of just enough
information to entice you to want to view the
movie, but it doesn’t tell the full story. Adding
information that does not provide impact
immediately on a resume is like viewing dull
scenes in the movie trailer, making the overall
package less effective.
3. Inappropriate Personal Information
Some personal information, such as hobbies,
may be explicitly placed on the resume to help
tell the employer more about your character.
However, if what you list is unprofessional and
inappropriate for the profession, it can ruin
your shot at making a good impression with the
employer. At the same time, there are instances
when personal information is included without
you fully realizing it. For instance, be cautious of
your e-mail address. Your username or domain
for the e-mail address can give off the wrong
impression if it reads something similar to,
“partyanimal@…” or “… @peoplehater.”
If you are including a website or blog address,
make sure the information you have on it is
appropriate and relevant for the job. Also, even
if you are not publicizing digital information,
employers may be screening your activity on
sites like LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook, so
check your privacy settings or make sure what’s
on your public profile is appropriate for a
potential employer to see.
Securing an employer’s attention is more
challenging today. There are many qualified
candidates available on the market for
employers to select from. Make sure your
resume shows impact from the start by telling
the employer why you are the right fit for the
job. Demonstrate what you have accomplished
to show for it, and present a clean digital trail
on the Internet for an appropriate impression.
