In an interview with Genevieve Magazine Omoni Oboli revealed that her husband proposed to her after two weeks of dating.
“He had been trailing me, but he couldn’t find me, until a friend of his found me and told me he was looking for me” she said, “I found out later that he had given up the search a long time earlier because he thought that I had deliberately given him wrong information, but it wasn’t the case.”
“We had both been given the wrong information. The accommodation I had at first outside the campus turned out to be a male hostel and I had to move out. When he came calling, I had moved out! If it were you, what would you think? The girl has ‘posted’ you right? Anyway, he found me and came immediately to see me. He then disappeared for some months, and when he appeared again, we started dating, and two weeks later he proposed!” she further said.

Top Comedienne ,Bosede Olufunke Ogunboye, popularly known as Lepacious Bose has shocked her fans with her recent weight loss.
She also revelead that she lost 70g in a year and a half, all kudos to her fans who have been very supportive.
“Being a professional comedian allows me turn anything into a joke and I often used my weight as a joke but this weight loss journey isn’t a joke, I still want to come down a few sizes more and I am determined, working very hard at it. The health benefits come first and if I can be honest, I actually feel better. I carry myself better now because carrying all that weight around was equivalent to me carrying three bags of rice which I didn’t realise until the load was dropped…Talk about my burden becoming lighter. Lol.The only problem is I have to buy new clothes with every size I lose…and that’s very expensive, everytime I need to go out I panic because suddenly everything is now too big, its a new and strange experience for me, because everything used to be too small and tight lol”.

Don Jazzy looked really pained.

Now legendary 2Face Idibia has made his own call for the return of the Kokomaster and ‘It’s Don Jazzy Again.’
2Face spoke during his 40th Birthday celebration tagged Fortyfied at the Eko Hotel and Suites on Sunday, September 20, 2015.

D’Banj and Don Jazzy were present at the event when 2Face expressed his desire to see them produce a new joint together, declaring that he was a big fan of the duo.
D’Banj on his part opted to perform one of his songs that was leaked a few years ago, ‘I’m Feeling Good’ produced by Don Jazzy, featuring 2Face.
The audience went wild at 2Face and then D’Banj’s requests.

But Don Jazzy looked reluctant to participate in an instant or even anticipated comeback, turning down calls to come up on stage and perform ‘I’m Feeling Good’ with 2Face and D’Banj. He refused the microphone he was offered and at some point, turned his back to the stage.

Don Jazzy and D’Banj, partners and founders of the defunct Mo’Hits, went their separate ways in 2012, with the Don setting up Mavin Records and Kokomaster DB Records.

The last has not been heard of the ongoing saga between Emeka Ike and his wife.
In an exclusive chat with Saturday Beats, the actor in an emotion laden voice, described how his children always ask about their mother from him and how he responds.
“On many occasions, they ask me about their mother and tell me to ask her to come back home but she would say she is not coming and there is nothing I can do. They cannot help it; they miss their mother every day. At first when they asked me, I lied to them telling them their mother would come back and that we had made up. Then the media blew everything out of proportion, the news is all over the internet. I cannot kill myself so I try to explain what is happening to them,” he said.
He told Saturday Beats that he hardly hang out with friends because he now plays the role of a father and a mother.
“God is our strength; He is the blessed assurance and the one that consoles a man in my position. We do all we can to make sure the children get the best. I have an assistant in the house, a male house help and a chauffeur in the house and they all take care of the children when I am away attending to work. I make myself available as much as I can because I am their father and mother right now. It has not been easy acting the role of a father and mother to my children but it has made me to love and appreciate them the more. If I am away from them for more than an hour, I would not be at peace so I have to call home to check on them at regular intervals. As I speak with you, I am on my way to work but I make sure I always call them regularly because I am bothered when I am not with them. But a man has to work to fend for his family. I hardly hang out with friends anymore and immediately I finish from work, I rush home to be with my kids,” Ike said.

Popular comedian, Julius d Genius Agwu has opened up about how he survived brain tumour.

In a chat with Channels TV, the comedian who admitted to loosing consciousness is well and fit now.

He also spoke further:

"Jumping all the hurdles and challenges of life, so many of us don’t really know what is going on inside. Nobody carries signboard of ill-health. So, I never realized what was happening, I just noticed that at some point, I was losing weight. Initially, I was working out trying to look shapely, because as soon as you clock 40 you begin to take some of those things seriously. I just noticed the over-work, stress and everything.
In Nigeria, we really don’t rest, we hustle and hustle, we just keep working but oyinbo (white men) will work for vacation and settle, you know, rest. But our own, we hustle and even when we die, we’re still working as ancestors through consultations
I just realised that once in a while, I would have headache, take the normal pain relievers and it will go down until I had a seizure and was rushed to the hospital. That was the beginning of the story, when I eventually regained consciousness, I lost all my memory and I couldn’t walk properly.
My wife and I had to go to Houston (USA), because we had to find out what was really happening to me. That was how through an MRI, it was discovered that I had tumours in my brain and an emergency surgery was advised. So, I thank God it went well and God has been perfecting my healing. Since April till now,
I’ve never really done anything as regards my career. I thank God. I am back and alive. God has been merciful, He gave me a second chance. But we thank God, it’s benign and now my medication is dropping it. By God’s grace, my memory is back. It’s not easy, it’s like a car knocking engine. I don’t pray that such thing should happen to my enemy.
