The 2015 edition of BET Awards will not be easily forgotten because of the outrage that followed it in Nigeria, which was mainly spurred by Nigerian artistes, who did not win in their award category.

First, Dencia criticised the organisers, accusing them of presenting the BET Best International Act: Africa award before the main event started.

Later, Yemi Alade and Wizkid gave their views on the event, which generated wild criticisms.

But the BET Director, Lilian N. Blankson, has cleared the air on some of the issues raised. She accused African artistes for not doing enough to sell their brands to the global world.

According to her, “First of all, tell the truth and stop tweeting lies and mis-truths. There has never been a backstage presentation of any award. Pre recorded. We need to work hard and get our music on the radio here in the US. How do people respect your brand when you are not on the radio?”

“Make your music more internationally appealing. Think of ways to get all audiences invested. Oliver Twist is a great example. Universal story,” she added.

If there is one thing that is giving Nigerian filmmakers headache, then you are sure that it is piracy, which has almost wrecked the industry.

The cankerworm has eaten so deep into the industry that the government cannot do anything to solve the problem.

Even when practitioners try to fight it, they get bitten hard by the pirates, who some have claimed are more powerful than the government.

Since her last award-winning film, Finding Goodluck, Shan George has not embarked on another and now, she is ready to hit location for her new film titled ‘One Good Man’.

But the sultry actress is ready for a fight with pirates and this time, she wants to go traditional, applying her ‘village voodoo’.

Shan George warned pirates to stay off her movie and stressed that she is not ready to beg them, but be ready to face the consequence of duplicating her flick.

In her words on Twitter on Monday, July 6, 2015, “I am about to shoot a new movie. Since government is doing nothing about piracy, I’ve decided to use my village juju to protect d film. Pirates beware!”

Just when the last was already read and heard of the brouhaha in the marriage of Toke Makinwa and her husband, Maje Ayida, dust is being raised again.

It would be recalled sometimes ago, it was widely reported that the Rhythm FM presenter’s husband impregnated his former girlfriend, who is now abroad to be delivered of her baby.

But not too long ago, someone who claimed to be in the know of what transpired between Toke and Maje even before they got married, posted a comment on Toke’s Vlog. The informant made the post under an anonymous identity.

Below is the comment;

“Toke can lie for Africa. Before I write my own, let me say Maje Ayida is a woman wrapper from time. Whether Toke stays at home or is a career woman, he was going to cheat no matter what. But Toke, was Anita a stalker? Was Erica a stalker?


“Were you not the side chick when he was formally dating those ladies? Who chased them away from Maje so there would be space for you? Was it not you and your Bacchus friends? Sending them anonymous emails, text messages and phone calls?

“Harassing them in clubs, spilling drinks on them, all sorts of childish things to let them know you were in side chick then? Na lie?

“Maje was dating Anita, you (Toke) was seeing him on the side in those days of Bacchus, same with Erica Coswoth. Did you really think after you managed to chase them that you will have peace in that marriage?

“He cheated on them with you. So, of course, he will cheat on you too.


“Karma is a b*tch. Anyway, as for Maje, yes, we all know you didn’t really want to marry Toke. I mean, even up a few days to your wedding, you were asking your friends if you should marry her (smh)! But nobody forced you to go to the registration office without your family’s consent. So as you make your bed you must lie on it and make it work out with Toke.

“Anita, I wish you safe delivery because your baby is innocent in all of this. I know Toke made your life a living hell while you and Maje were dating.

“Maje, go and settle with your wife. Make it up with her. Toke, it is well after all you got what you wanted nah – Mrs. Ayida.

“But sarcasm aside, keep your head up. This will soon be stake gist. But you Toke Makinwa knew, he will always love Anita. So, if you are wise cut your lenses now."

Juliet Ibrahim, a Ghanaian actress whose charming face, beauty, alongside her amiable nature has endeared her to numerous fans across Africa has been put on blast by those who are against her recent billboard advert.

The divorced mother of one was spotted on the billboard advert of one of the popular skin lightening creams in Ghana, ‘Carotone’.

Chris Vincent of Ghana Celebrities, one those that felt bad about the development, penned his aggression on the matter.

“It’s pathetic to come across a bleaching celebrity but for one to boldly become a poster girl for a bleaching cream; that is diabolical, insensitive and grossly callous, considering the fact that we have a large population of uneducated Ghanaians who would just buy these products for the mere fact Juliet Ibrahim is on there."

Continuing, the obviously angry Vincent expressed his utmost disappointment of how Juliet could stoop so low to deceive the people that ought to be looking up to her for good morals.

“I don’t know how much they paid Juliet Ibrahim and I do not care to know else, I would have asked her. However, I am offensively disappointment to see a mother of one, a well-established name with several young followers having seemingly relegated her conscience into the gutters, for the sake of money.”

Meanwhile, the actress-cum-producer is well-known to be of a mixed parentage.

Creativity is one thing that can land man anywhere he may never have expected to be and this is what has helped top Nigerian comedian, Basketmouth.

The humour merchant has created a niche for himself not only in Nigeria or Africa, but in America and Europe, where he is loved by many.

Little wonder why he many brands jostle to have him as their ambassador. He has had sold out shows outside the country, feats many of his contemporaries have found difficult to achieve.

Over the weekend, Basketmouth was in the US for a show and was honoured by the Mayor of Houston, Annice Parker. July 17 as now been declared as Basketmouth Day in Houston, Texas in recognition of his contribution in integrating the Nigerian American Community through his art for the past six years in Houston.

The congressional recognition ceremony will hold on July 18th, same day as the comedian’s comedy Concert 'Basketmouth Uncensored' in Houston at Ayva Center.

The present state of veteran Nigerian musician, Majek Fashek has become a source of worry to many people, especially his associates.

One of his colleagues in the music industry, Charly Boy has now called on well-meaning Nigerians to do something about this. According to Charly Boy, the popular ‘Rain Maker’ urgently needs rehabilitation.

“The worst thing we can do is stand and watch when we see someone struggling in agony, especially when their pain is self-inflicted. It is no longer news that the ‘Rain Maker’ is a sorry shadow of himself plagued by issues larger than his self-discipline.

“Majek Fashek is our own; let’s see how we can heal our ‘Rain Maker’ who needs all the love and understanding he can get right now.

“I know quite a few well-meaning Nigerians have contributed to his rehabilitation, but I still encourage others to help see the healing of this great musician become a reality. It is our collective effort to help rehabilitate him as a social responsibility of fighting this hard drug menace that is wasting so many of our youths.

“I remember this very handsome man with a good heart and we had worked together a long time ago at the start of his beautiful but truncated music career. He is a multi- talented artiste of international repute, whose hit rendition `Send down the Rain’ still does exactly that anytime it is played- sending the shivers down our spines.

“It used to be my favorite song from his album, and till today, I can sing his lyrics many years after. He brewed that song right in my studio in Oguta, in the seven months he spent with me there as an in-house producer.

“I know it can be a huge heartache watching someone you love struggle with an addiction or have a mental illness but the good news is that it is curable.

“When we show more love as parents, friends, associates, spouses, brothers or sisters, we help the people going through this struggle feel good about themselves,” he pleaded.

Getting it wrong when it comes to fashion is one thing many celebrities try to avoid because eyes are always on them.

And to avoid being ridiculed always, public figures contract the services of professionals to handle their fashion life. While someone is saddled with the responsibility of what a celeb wears, another worries about the outlook (makeup).

When it comes to fashion, Ini Edo is one star many believe should always get it right, but many people know that she is sometimes found wanting.

It would be recalled that in 2012, at the premiere of her movie with Emem Isong, Ini Edo looked ‘horrible’ in her makeup, which was like something that was done in a rush.

Last night, the pretty actress attended the premiere of an MNET series in Lagos.

Her outfit was stunning, but she messed things up with her facial makeup, which some fashionistas have also described as ‘horrible’.

Her eyeliner was described as bad and out of it and she was advised to fire her makeup artist and get a more competent hand.

Here are the pictures.

Since the fire incident that gutted the Lekki, Lagos apartment of Nollywood actress, Kate Henshaw, she has not been seen in a public function.

The incident occurred on a Thursday and at the weekend, she was supposed to attend the premiere of a film she starred in, but she did not show up, apparently because of the unfortunate incident earlier in the week.

Later, Kate made some posts on her social media page, thanking God and her fans for standing by her throughout the period.

But the actress seems to have shaken the incident off her and has moved on. She was spotted on the night of Monday, July 6, 2015, for the premiere of a new series of MNET soap, ‘Do Good’ held in Lagos.

She was full of life and some of her fans are happy that she is left the fire incident behind her.

Over the weekend, compromising pictures of heavily pregnant budding actress, Chidere Adielechukwu, went viral online and became a subject of discussion.

Many, especially women, condemned her actions, terming it a 'disgrace to womanhood and motherhood'.

Obviously, the TV diva doesn't seem perturbed by the harsh words of her critics, as she sends a message to those calling her different names.

According to the actress, who is in the last stage of her pregnancy, the pictures were meant to be private but 'leaked', moreover, some other women pose stark n@ked for 'worthless reasons.’

"It is true my n*des are everywhere, but it is also not my intention dat they are, cus those pictures were meant to be private. Pregnancy stage is the only time in a woman's life that God lets her experience different hormonal changes and every woman has the right to keep record of it and it is sad mine ended up dis way, but SHIIT HAPPENS!!!

“Most of u b*tches condemning me do even the worst things, go stack n@ked for worthless reasons and cheap sh*t. As much people are talking, some also wish to be like me #FACT. Let the bloggers keep posting and talking, I understand dats what they feed on.

“N*DITY is NATURE, and there is absolutely nothing new on the face of earth. I am not the first to have my pictures leaked neither will I be the last.

“Meanwhile, LADIES & GENTLEMEN as I don cast so, I will just get me some COLDSTONE and DOUGHNUTS, while I seat back and watch yesterday's fresh gist become tomorrow's old story............ meanwhile, y'all wish me a safe delivery cus that's all that matters to me, I love everyone regardless....DEUCES Yours faithfully, DIOR CHIDERA ADIELECHUKWU. Happy child," she wrote.

This news is very fake. As fake as anything you can imagine. Are you sure these people are not refugees? If truly they are suspects are the children suspects too?

Mumu,a girl can't dump a guy unless the guy is a complete mugu.

How do u dump someone after helping to slack your pu#$$y?

It's a man world. We do the dumping.

MuMu we do the dumping we just make your feel you did so that you will have a sweetdream.

The most annoying is the guy asking for your hot picture. Nairaland guys like that. That was what a Nairalander asked me the very first day we exchanged pin."send me your sexy picture" I told him his family history and deleted him before he could reply me. Imagine such nonsense?

honourhim:
Luke 11:27 And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. 28 [b][/b]But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

We can see in the scripture above that Christ didnt give support to the slightest worship of his mother yet people wont hear.

is it not the same bible that tells us a story about wedding in Cana when the wine was finishing and Mary came to beg Jesus and he said 'mother you know my time has not come but because you are my mother I will do it. What will you say about that? Cos the only thing you people do these days is to condemn churches and abandon your faith. Why don't you let all of us meet on the judgement day and leave judgment for God

Sassybae:
Dat man is cursed, disgrace 2men

you are actually a disgrace to women if you think what he did is a big deal. Is your type that will condemn men helping their wives when you are single but after marriage you will come to Nairaland to report your husband for using you as a slave in your house. He hasn't done anything wrong is either you do it or don't do it and this makes him a real man not a disgrace like you

HELP oooo I think my BlackBerry has spoilt Oooo cos no colour is disappearing everything remain the same
What should I do to my phone?

Am seeing blood. Do snakes have blood?
OP you are not nice at all. See how you separate the body from the head as if it is possible for it to resurrect after death if the body is still attached

Thank God for your life but next time don't tear your net to kill anything if there is another option to kill it. Imagine if the snake enters your room at nice. Be safe than sorry

Why didn't she wear clothes comfortable for riding horses to snap with the horse?

So he can be jealous and he left left her. Guys with their insatiable nature

JEGA01:
This is the kind of VP we are talking about.

Furk haters

is his presence there doing anything to them? When Goodluck went to visit bomb blasted victims in Abuja then you all call him clueless. Who is the MuMu now, you or your Aboki president? I thought you all wanted miracle to happen during Goodluck era by mere visitation, tell your president and VP to stop staring and start acting.
