When your past calls,don't answer, it has nothing new to say.- Toyin Aimakhu!

Image
Moments ago, actress and estranged wife of actor Adeniyi Johnson, Toyin Aimakhu posted this quote on Instagram. "When your past calls, don't answer, it has nothing new to say..."    Recall that Toyin faced the issue of infidelity while being married to Adeniyi Johnson. They separated a few times and resolved it, she however eventually quit early this year and refused to accept him back when it dawned on her that he won't stop cheating on her with his several side chicks.   Unlike Toke Makinwa who chose to hang in hers for over 12 years , Toyin moved on early enough.     Good quote there!

With the help of photographer Lara Carter, 90 year old Ferrisand his 89-year old bride, Margaret, got down to the shoot on Oct. 12 shoot in Pearland, Texas.

Image
It's so glaring that Tiwa Savage's estranged husband, Teebilliz is fully back to social media after the suicide attempt scandal. So, some hours ago, R & B singer Banky W put up a picture of his exercise routine on Instagram and hinted that someone needs to charge his personal fitness instructor, Uzikwendu for attempted murder. Then Teebilliz showed up in the comments section. See the conversation below: It would be recalled that on April 28, 2016 Teebliz had attempted suicide in the aftermath of his Instagram rant about his sour relationship with Savage. He was rescued by his friends, like Banky W, Peter Okoye and others on the scene.

 A prostitute and an entertainer, both aged 22, who allegedly stole property valued at N1.6 million, on Wednesday appeared before an Ikeja Magistrates’ Court. The prostitute, Emmanuel Carol and Precious Aboh, who claimed to be into entertainment, are facing a five-count charge bordering on conspiracy, stealing and attempted murder.  The Carol resides at the Oshodi area of Lagos, and Aboh lives at No. 15, Olaore St., Mafoluku, Oshodi, Lagos.  The prosecutor, Insp.

21 things I learnt from Toke Makinwa's 'On Becoming' Book

Image
So I finally got my copy of Toke Makinwa's much anticipated 'Tell it all' story on Monday morning and yes, I was able to finish reading through the 112 pages in about two hours. Forget the excerpts we have been bringing to you since she launched the book on Sunday, the 21 chapter memoir has deeper revelations and I will summarize it in these 14 simple points below:   1. Why the Book was published... Toke Makinwa for the first time (and probably last time) gave all the details on her marriage scandal that happened last year. Unlike entertainer Tiwa Savage who addressed her own marital scandal by granting an exclusive interview with Journalist Azuka and selling it to Pulse TV, Toke Makinwa decided to address hers in a book. According to Toke, she was inspired to write the book after a friend gave her an instruction from the Holy spirit.  One morning, a friend reached out to me. She said that the Holy Spirit had instructed her to tell me to write about my expe

25 year old man gets his ear bitten off for challenging hemp smokers in Lagos (Photo)

Image
One of the ears of a 25-year-old man identified as Tolani Ajisefini has been chopped off in a fight that ensued after he spoke against the smoking of Indian hemp in Mushin area of Lagos State. Ajisefini, a site manager, had lived with his parents on Olateju Street, Mushin, where the incident happened, before relocating to the Isolo area of the state. The victim is said to have been a regular visitor to Mushin where he has friends. Last Saturday, he visited his former house and saw some youths smoking hemp and cautioned them, insisting that they leave the place. A resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told the Punch that the smokers ignored Ajisefini. The resident said, “They said he had left the area and had no right to dictate to them what to do and what not to do. “This resulted in arguments and later degenerated into a fight. One of Tolani’s (Ajisefini) friends also backed him and fought the gang members but Tolani, asked him to leave the matter to him alone.

I was almost frustrated in Nollywood but my passion surpassed it all- Queen Nwokoye

Image
Queen Nwokoye has had more than a steady run in the movie industry since she joined in 2004.  She might not have been as prominent as expected in the beginning, however, Queen has continued to reign over the Nigerian home video and has remained relevant ahead of her peers by sustaining her relevance with hard work and a talent that can’t be overlooked. Speaking with BroadwayAfrica TV on why she never gave up even when odds were against her, Nwokoye said, “What brought me and what has kept me is my passion for the job. Money is good, the attention is good but I stayed because of the passion I have for it. It is a bit frustrating when you are doing something and it is like you are not being appreciated for it or recognized for it but the passion surpassed it, so I stayed. The rest is history.”

Goodnews!!! Nigerian Senate halts the proposed data tariff hike

Image
It is with a sigh of relief that we announce that the Nigerian Senate has halted the planned hike in data price. They agree that it is totally irresponsible of the NCC and condemn it in all entirety. This was made known in a series of tweet from the Twitter handle of the Nigerian senate. Continue below From bottom to top

This is why NCC asked Telecoms firms to increase Data Prices

Image
Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) approved a new “floor plan”, or minimum pricing, for data services by mobile operators “to address market distortions, unhealthy price wars and value erosion that could threaten the going concern of service providers”, this is according to an internal working document. In a letter to the big operators, the NCC had directed that the floor plan for data should be 0.90k/MB effective December 1, 2016 “pending the finalisation of the study on the determination of cost-based pricing for retail broadband and data services in Nigeria”. As virtually all the big operators were already charging below the new floor rate, the directive meant an automatic increase in charges for data services. However, small operators and new entrants in the data market, such as Spectranet, Ntel and Smile, are still allowed to charge below 0.90k/MB. NCC defines “small operator” as one that has less than 7.5% market share and “new entrant” as one that has operated fo

I rejected marriage proposal from ‘able-bodied’ women – Deaf, dumb groom

Image
Paul Egbezokhai Kadiri, a deaf and dumb groom, whose bride suffers from cerebral palsy, has said he rejected marriage offers from ‘able-bodied women’ because it was love at first sight with his bride, Grace Olufunke Omooba. The wedding ceremony between Paul and Grace took place at Jesus Kids, Home for Special People with Disabilities, an orphanage, over the weekend, in Ibadan, Oyo State. Their story became more interesting as the bridegroom, Paul, 52, was said to have turned down the proposals of some able-bodied admirers (women) at different times, who wanted to have him as husband. According to information, Kadiri reportedly said he would prefer to live the rest of his life with a physically-challenged person like him. He said it was love at first sight, when he saw 43-year-old light-complexioned Grace Olufunke Omooba. Omooba had been under the care of the President of the Home, Mrs Ololade Adamole-kun, for the past 10 years. Kadiri resides and works in Modakeke, Osun State

KFB Foodie Talk: How to make Minced meat stew

Image
For our newbies, the KFB foodie talk column - handled by Dobby of  Dobbysignature   -  is basically for ladies and 'guys' that are interested in learning how to cook better  ;). Minced meat stew is a popular type of stew made from ground beef. It's simply delicious and is usually served alongside spaghetti, potatoes, rice, plantain and a host of other meals. If you don't have minced meat available or don't have tools to grind your meat as shown below, you could use corned beef for this if you've got that available. This meal is usually a favorite with kids, and most people can't seem to get enough of it. There are a lot of things i love about this stew the first being that it's pretty easy to make. Next, it's really affordable especially with the fact that i didn't spend over a thousand naira for the whole meal for four people which is pretty good. Do give this a try soon and lemme know the outcome.  Minced meat stew recipe Prep time:   1
