We recently caught up with award winning actress and entrepreneur in her Range Rover SUV at the car park of the venue of a party, excitedly yapping on the phone, seemingly having a great discussion with someone on the other side, after what seemed a long happy conversation, we were curious to find out, if her phone wasn’t hot on her cheek or ear and asked to see what phone it was. Lo and behold, it was the new BlackBerry Porsche P’998, http://questionmarkmag.com/2012/03/photo-susan-peters-shows-off-her-blackberry-porsche/

Employing the services of the man behind Davido’s dami duro, Harrysong brings Shizzi on board to mould a sure-hit and official first single of his sophomore album titled ‘Taiye, Kehinde‘.

‘I’ll find you, anywhere you enter, kpata kpata me suffer… i’m Taiye, where’s my Kehinde?’ the artiste referred to many as the new King of Melody sings as the chorus of the song where touches on the subject of going through thick and thin to find a love interest.

Let’s introduce Natalie Nunn to the several new Nigerian fans of yours. Who is Natalie Nunn?

Natalie Nunn is a reality television/model/actress who graduated from the University of Southern California with 2 majors and a minor.( Communication, sociology and minor in Spanish). In college I played soccer and ran track for the university. I also have owned and operated her own clothing store.

Growing up I was raised in a single mother household with one older brother. We were very involved in education and sports. My mother worked two jobs to afford to take care of us and made sure we always had a roof over our head and food on the table. My father came around more when I got older, he had some hard times when I was young which caused him to not always be around,

Natlie Nunn is an attention LovePeddler and Olu Maintain is blinded by the obvious.

The abbreviation for N.A.W.T.I is hilarious enough putting the song translation in the context – Natural African women totally inspiring then the idea of having Natalie Nunn ‘star’ in the video. She is absolutely unknown with Nigerians and her voluptuousness -oops- image was lost following the handful of other scantily cladded women in the video. An idea that might have worked would be – having a scantily cladded Tonto Dikeh starred.

Thanks to Olu Maintain, Natalie Nunn is on every Nigeria’s man attention and probably, fantasy. However, Natalie Nunn is far from being a role model, obviously. [who watches a video a music video expecting to have a new role model, let alone one from Olu Maintain]

Well, Natalie Nunn is an attention LovePeddler – worse than Amber Rose and Kim Kardashian. AMber and Kim K are success story in this regard but Natalie doesn’t come close to being a success.

Though the battle for the reversal of the pump price of petrol to N 65 per litre has been won and lost, the resultant effects still linger on. With the commencement of the probe into the removal of the subsidy on petrol, many Nigerians expect heads to start rolling soon.

Investigations revealed that the fraud being perpetrated in Nigeria’s oil sector defies competent description. The whole structure has been eroded by corruption thereby leaving the Government at the mercy of corrupt marketers, fraudulent staff and even not so clean government officials.

Incidentally, many of those behind these shady moves that set the Federal Government back by billions of Naira on a daily basis are friends of the ruling class- some have even received national honours.

Street Journal’s investigation revealed that the Chief Executives of some the companies involved in the fuel subsidy scam that blew open recently own companies outside the country. They are the ones that obtain PFI (Pro Forma Invoice) for such companies to import petrol into Nigeria. As it is almost always the case, they build up margins in the PFI for onward importation of products. That way, it is ensured that both the company here and the one abroad make money.

It was discovered that one of the companies that has become a name in Nigeria’s oil circles, Fineshade Energy Inc. is owned by billionaire business mogul, Femi Otedola whose other company, Zenon bought AP over. Running checks on the company, it was found out that the company situated in the United Kingdom claims it has annual revenue of $ 158, 472 while the staff strength was p, read more here: http://questionmarkmag.com/2012/01/how-zenon-capital-oil-and-other-marketers-swindled-the-federal-government-via-fuel-subsidy/

Do you think if your mum were alive, she would have told you to calm down your controversial life

Seriously, I don’t know what my mother was like. I don’t know what she would have done, whether she is as crazy as I am, or has mad ideas as I have. But I hope she was as crazy as I am if she were alive, really, because that would have been a fun mother to have, someone who is really crazy. But since died, we won’t know or find out.

As Africans, how does your father cope with the way you think

(Laughs) I was taking about my father sometime; I said that my father is a white man in a black man skin. My father is so black that when you hear him talk or reason, you just call him a white man. And I am opportuned to have a very exposed father. He is not tied down to some bullsh*t traditions. He is very liberal, he is like a bird. I am like a bird, if you leave me, I will fly. Don’t expect me to come back; I don’t need to be tied down of held down. So far, he has helped me through life. There are some things I do in movie, which people say it is not traditional.

One actress who made so much news in the year 2011 is delectable screen goddess Mercy Johnson.

Saying that the year has been a really wonderful year for her is stating the obvious, as the curvaceous actress remained number one choice in Nollywood from Asaba, Enugu, Lagos, to Abuja and beyond gracing posters and movie jackets.

In the year under review, she got married and was adjudged the best actress at the Afro-Australian Music and Movies Award (AAMMA) which is the only African award event in the whole of Australia and New Zealand. The award recognized Mercy Johnson as Africa’s Queen of the screen which is a symbolic recognition. The award which is the third edition held at the Emmore Theatre in Sydney, Australia.

His hit single, Turn Me On rocked intercontinental waves some years back and everyone danced and gyrated to the soca music of Caribbean superstar, Kevin Lyttle. However, he went silent for quite a while. Celebrity journalist, Eromo Egbejule caught up with the Carribean superstar where they had a chat about his new record label, new singles and life besides music.

Kevin Lyttle: Hello, my weekend is going great thank you, very productive.

It is the end of the year and in our tradition at @QMarkMag, we present 5+1 disappointing albums of the year.

Darey – Double dare
One thing that haunts the beautiful music Darey makes his an almost ‘desperate’ desire to be commercial, to be pop. Maybe understandably following rumours of his debut album running down an initially excited marketer when the supposed in-demand CD didn’t move units as expected. Most of the records he has made along this line have always fallen flat and sometimes saved by the visual alone. Darey croons melodiously but shouldn’t dare with pop records that scream ‘I want that mass appeal bad’. Double dare CD carries gems, a result of hardwork but overall, Darey doesn’t deliver a masterpiece.

Terry G – Terry G’zus
Nothingness! This year it didn’t pay off and so it would be next year. Might just be time for Terry G’zus to return to the ‘love you sexy’ days. Disjointed al, read more: http://questionmarkmag.com/2011/12/5-disappionting-albums-of-2011/comment-page-1/#comment-12587
