Nigerian musis superstar, Wizkid certainly is not always being lauded over his sensational music alone but also is usually praised for having high taste in fashion too.
The Joro crooner is no doubt, one of the few artistes on the African continent that could spend millions of cash on expensive fashion items.
He is known to be one that particularly has a flair for luxury jewelries as he has several of it in his possession, but due to his somewhat introverted attitude, he rarely shows them off on social media.
However, there was a change yesterday as Wizkid took to Instagram to fix the gaze of his followers with his expensive jewelries which were lined up in front of the camera.
Nigerian music singer, Oritsefemi’s ex-music group member, Chibudo ‘Chi Jungulist’ Obinkwo is dead.
The singer took to his Instagram page not long ago, to announce the death of his former music partner, who he said died after a long battle with an undisclosed ailment.
He wrote,
‘Brother you tried your best to fight it …jah knows better ….he’s bigger than everyone and no man can question him May your soul rest in perfect peace brother.’
In another post, Oritsefemi also blamed Junglist’s friends for not speaking out on time when he first took ill until it got serious.
He was a brave man …. he was the first to travel abroad among the both of us #china he was very talented, he know I love him ? he know I can take any shot on his behalf … he was so sick for so long, his so called new friends kept it on till when it got worse for him, that was when I was informed… and I sent money to them immediately to take him straight to the hospital… the so called friends told me the truth that my brother can not survive it anymore that he has to take him back to his mum ..
My problem is why they waited for this long… if y’all are true friends… no one can bring out money except me … nobody .. all of you guys should have contributed 1k each if you truly want him to survive, but I did my part am not super rich but have stood for so many people in this life, I took my fellow brothers problems first before facing my own.
There is no need to throw stones at anyone or throw blames! If I choose not to publicize how I help, doesn’t mean I don’t do my part! We can all be our brothers keepers.
No more comment from me!
Rest In Peace my brother, chibudo obinkwo.

Am doing this because it’s necessary
Not to talk down on the club
But for corrections to be made
So it doesn’t happen to some one else
Thank you
US-based Cameroonian singer, Reprudencia Sonkey popularly known as Dencia took to social media page recently to blast fans of reality star, Tacha.
Her rage started after a Twitter user reprimanded her for sarcastically wanting to know about Tacha. The Twitter user advised her to take sentiment away if she wants to support her favourite, Mercy.
The Twitter user wrote,
“@IamDencia hope you are fine? Why asking who is Tacha? Remember you want her 2 made up with Mercy so they can make money.. You forgot who she is quicky. Oh I see…take sentimental away please.. If you want to support ur Fav Mercy go on. Don’t come for Tacha pls”, he tweeted

“Permit me to insult u, u all are Idiots with Zero brains, I didn’t watch this damn show neither do I give a fuck about any of u & ur faves but when ur fave was being bullied, I personally reached out to Jaruma see screenshot. I don’t do this public shit. I told her to fix it.”, she tweeted

Budding Nollywood actor, Perikles Mandinga was born and raised in Guinea-Bissau, Africa and has been present in the entertainment scene for quite some years now.
The gentleman attended college in Lisbon, Portugal before moving to USA – he started his career in entertainment as a fashion model, and has been featured on runways, magazines, billboards and television.
Mandinga won Rip the Runway, a P Diddy produced reality show aired on BET Network. He has extensive film and theatre credits both within the US and internationally.
His theatre credits include Tower of Babel, Insanity and Properly Plucked. He has also featured in popular nollywood movies including omoge, Adaora, Kiss and tell to mention but a few.
In a recent interview with Vanguard, Madinga revealed his plans to gain strong network in the Nollywood industry and make a name for himself.
He also talked about his crazy fantasy and how he would like to date one of Nigeria’s most controversial actress, Tonto Dikeh.
Read excerpts from the interview below,
1. Who is Perikles Mandinga?
I am a simple person who lived in two different countries (Portugal & USA) from an early age. I like to travel, and I still play sports. I like meeting new people.
2. What actually informed your decision to go full-time into acting? And how far do you think you can go?
From an early age, I knew acting was something that I love to do but coming from a traditional African family, I knew it was going to be a hard task because my dad wouldn’t accept the idea. He was very hard on me and my siblings. After finishing my studies in Lisbon, I had the opportunity to come to the USA to model. I knew that acting was going to be my full time devotion, not modeling because it was my life’s purpose.
3.What are those unique skills you are bringing to play that may possibly stand you out or better still that may give you recognition among all the big stars we have in industry?
Starting out in a poor African country moving to a European capital and then in NYC I have seeing things that maybe the others big stars have not experienced.
4. What kind of roles do you prefer?
I like to play characters that can be genuinely kind, nice guys or really meaty bad guy roles- those make me work harder at their motivation. I like characters that have flaws that can be exploited. Because I have a good sense of humor, I can build characters that have two sides to their personality.
5. Where do you see yourself 5 years from now? What are your personal goals?
In 5 years from now I see myself doing amazing work with actors that inspired me to get into this business.
6. Already, which are the films you have acted in?
Kiss and tell, Omoge, Adaora, Yes I Do. All of these are Nollywood produced.
7. By all standards, what comparison can you do between Hollywood and Nollywood- which is more relevant to Africans?
Well from my perspective I see Hollywood as something that has been there for so long, and now there’s a new kid on the block- Nollywood. It is fresh, with new ideas and it’s growing so fast that nothing will be standing in its way. It has a natural and large market eager for new films that it can relate to.
8. In your opinion, what do you think should be done in terms of sourcing for fund and maintaining world class movie productions?
In time, as Nollywood grows, it will be able to finance it’s growth, similar in history to Hollywood. An important thing is to ensure that new, young and upcoming individuals shouldn’t be shut out from participating.
9. These days, what have you been up to or which project(s) have you been embarking on?
So many things are happening all at the same time, so my hands are full with projects from movies, theater and other ventures. It is very exciting.
10. You are quite handsome, you probably would be getting admiration and glances from the female folks. How well do you relate with them?
Thank you for the compliment. I have a big sister who always kept me in line. She and mom taught me to respect everyone. As a result, I have been fortunate to have many female friends who I trust and have deep friendships with them. I have a girlfriend for many years now.
11. Currently in the movie industry, who is your female crush?
That should be Tonto Dikeh. I like her so much and she has a very unique personality. Crazy though but I wouldn’t mind going into a serious relationship with her. After all, I can last more than 40 seconds.
12. What has fame robbed you of and what doors has it opened for you?
You think I have fame? So far nothing has changed me and likely never will. I am no different than anyone else. I am the same person who gets up each morning to see what the day will offer.
13. Describe a typical day.
My typical day contains jogging, working out or yoga meditation. I have theater work with my coach, and go on many auditions. I like going for walks and playing sports. Nothing makes me happier than reading books. I especially like autobiographies lately.
14. Name one luxury product you wouldn’t mind breaking the bank for.
i can’t break the bank for what I want because it doesn’t exist yet. I would do everything to help my sister from dying from cancer.
15. Where is home at the moment?
Home is the place where you’re loved and feel comfortable. Right now I live between Lagos, Lisbon and NYC.
16. Who is your role model and why?
My Dad is my role model and he will always be. He was a doctor and taught me about ethics, morals and love and helping others.
17. Aside acting, what other things do you have passion for?
I have a strong love of our African continent. I believe in helping my brothers to achieve their full potential. Sometimes I think that is my calling. I am curious about different aspects of business around the world.
18. Any message for your fans out there?
Thank you!! Please keep us going by seeing our movies. You inspire us to keep going with new movies, new stories. We started from almost nothing and your attendance at our films answered our prayers. Thank you
Survivor of the Sosoliso plane crash, Kechi Okwuchi was recently spotted with some Nigerian celebrities at an event in Lagos.
The burn victim who recently celebrated her birthday has over time been receiving lots of support and has evidently become a role model for many other victims in Nigeria and abroad.
In the photos that were shared online, she seems to be enjoying every moment of the spotlight she is sharing with the celebrities.
She took photos with the likes of Naira Marley, Zlatan Ibile, Cubana Chief Priest, Peruzzi and others.
Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh, has revealed that she pays over N1.5 million as school fee for her son, Andre.
Tonto made this revelation known after she found out her son was picking the habit of speaking Pidgin.
The 34-year-old, taking to her Instagram page on Friday, warned those teaching her son Pidgin English to stay off.
She says she pays too much as school fee and expects her son to be speaking ‘Phonetic’.
“Iyam not understanding again ooo. Me that I want my son to be speaking Ashuhsuhsushsushu (Phonetic). And hell no it’s not from school. After paying school fee over 1.5 a year,” she wrote.
The funeral of tlate Oba Oniru, father of OAP Tolu Oniru-Demuren popularly known as Toolz took place in Lagos state yesterday Friday, November 1st.
The ceremony had in attendance many dignitaries including the Speaker of the House of Representatives Femi Gbajabiamila, billionaire businessman Aliko Dangote, CSP Dolapo Badmos, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, BankyW, BBNaija’s Mike Edwards, lawmaker Akin Alabi and many others.
The news of Ismaila Mustapha aka Mompha’s arrest on the 22nd of October 2019 while on his way to board a plane from Abuja to Dubai took a large chunk of Nigerians by surprise, but to the keen-eyed fellas, it was a long awaited call.
The Instagram Big-boy just like many of his kind, made things easy for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission by loudly showing off his wealth on social media.
His ostensible way of life aroused suspicion from Nigerians especially for the fact that he had no known legitimate source/s of income. Those who dared to ask were cajoled to embrace silence by his ever growing list of benefactors, sycophants and wannabes.
He traveled extensively boarding firstclass tickets, buying luxury cars, designer wears and living in mansions only found in the creative minds of a few writers.
Mompha lived like a king. It wasn’t like he won a jackpot, neither did he inherit billions of pounds from a benevolent god. No! He just suddenly became stupendously rich.
Although he could pass for a money bag like the legendary boxer, Floyd Mayweather who shows off his wealth on social media, Mompha had a questionable source of income.
Like most scammers who cannot overcome the urge to show that they have ‘arrived’, Mompha took the bait.
His arrest has fueled rumours that the EFCC and International Criminal Police Organization aka INTERPOL may be after people like him who display outrageous wealth on social media but cannot show legitimate proof of their source/s of income.
That is where Dubai-based big boy, Raymond Igbalodely aka Hushpuppi comes in.
Without mincing words, Mompha and Hushpuppi share very striking similarities. They both do not have any known source/s of income justifying the kind of life they live. They both became suddenly rich, a trait peculiar with cyber criminals.
Not until recently did Hushpuppi reveal that he is into real estate following the arrest of Mompha. Many people believe that him adding the tag is a ploy to play safe. But the question must be asked: how many real estate agents live the life of luxury that Hushpuppi enjoys? That is why Nigerians on social media have called on the EFCC to arrest Hushpuppi and that wish may soon come true.
EFCC while responding to the call for Hushpuppi’s arrest after a Nigerian asked them to go after social media celebrities featured in the song titled ‘Living Things’ by hip hop artiste, Abolore Akande aka 9ice, said that only a petition is needed for its men to swing into action.
Unlike Mompha, Hushpuppi has not visited Nigeria for sometime now and may already be on the watch list of INTERPOL. Just like Invictus Obinwanne and many others were nabbed in the United States after thorough investigation, the INTERPOL might already be compiling solid evidence to nail Hushpuppi who leaves in Dubai. If I were him, I will start making plans for the D-day because I can bet one of my balls that the anti-graft agencies are on his trail.
For now, it looks inevitable and ‘e go loud’.
Hushpuppi and Mompha pose for a photograph
Mompha’s lifestyle
According to the EFCC, Mompha defrauded N33 billion from his victims. The EFCC said he was a part of an international fraud syndicate based in Dubai. He was arrested with watches valued at N60 million. Mompha also operated 51 bank accounts in Nigeria according to the anti-graft agency.
Mompha is so stinkingly rich that two days after becoming the first African to own the N180million 2020 Rolls Royce Wraith VIII car, he bought himself another expensive Ferrari 488 Spider car. He also has the 2019 Mercedes Benz G63 AMG, a 2018 Rolls Royce Wraith, a Lamborghini Aventador Roadster, and lots more.
Hushpuppi
Prior to his arrest, Mompha was living the life many people dream about. How he made his money is still a mystery yet to be unraveled in full by the EFCC. For now, he is still in the custody of the EFCC to answer questions how he came about his sudden wealth.
As for Hushpuppi, he should be on the lookout because he may just be next.

Multi-award winning singer, Solange Knowles has announced her split from husband, Alan Ferguson.
The 33-year-old singer and sister to Beyoncé announced she and the 56-year-old music video director have “separated and parted ways.”
A recent Instagram post from her reads,
The past 2 years have brought me more physical and spiritual transition and evolution than ever before
my body left me with no choice but to listen and be still
within that stillness i begin my journey in confronting my worst enemy, fear.
ive lived my best and worst moments in front of the lens and gaze of the world since i was a teenager. ive always tried to live in my truth no matter how ugly or full of love it is. ive also tried to carve out the space to protect my heart, and my life as it unfolds, evolves, and changes. 11 years ago i met a phenomenal man who changed every existence of my life. early this year we separated and parted ways, (and tho it ain’t nan no body business ?) i find it necessary to protect the sacredness of my personal truth and to live in it fully just as I have before and will continue to do. it is unfair to not have power of your own story as you shape and mold and rewrite it yourself. a nigga ain’t perfect, but im leaning into the fear of the unknown and all the glory and power i know exist within god and the universes grace. may all of your transitions no matter how big or small, be kind to you and filled with incredible love and light!
BBNaija’s Khafi has flown back to the United Kingdom for the first time since her exit from the Big Brother Naija show.
It should be recalled that the reality star was allegedly forbidden from appearing on the show but still went ahead. Although it was believed that she would be facing termination, Khafi has said that she is expected back at work and would be heading right back.
Few weeks after exiting the show, Khafi only recently touched down UK and shared a photo of herself at the Heathrow airport.
Khafi is yet to say anything about her work but she looks set and ready to meet her UK fans who she revealed she would be spending time with.
Daily Mail reports that Khafi appeared at a meet-and-greet with fans at a Nigerian restaurant in Lewisham, South East London, which she publicized on her Instagram account.
Anambra State born actress, Chinenye Esther Anakpulu Nze better known, Chezan Nze has said she is not so much of a $ex freak and can comfortably stay about 3 – 4 years without $ex.
“As a single lady, wondering how I cope on lonely cold nights? I love my solitude and I cuddle at least 10pillows around me every night. I am not a fan of $ex toys. They don’t work for me at all. Trust me, I can stay for about 3 – 4 years without $eex,” she siad in a recent interview with KFN.
Also speaking on the notion that actresses can’t keep a home because they sleep around, Nze confirmed the assertion, adding that being in the limelight attracts all kinds of men to female stars.
“Yes the truth about it is, being in lime light attracts a lot of men. So many people watch you on TV, read about you and also might have interest in you and are willing to pay the Price to have you. Most of them confused lust for desires. It takes a very intelligent and smart woman to use her fame to yield great income married or not married. Being carried away by money offers will only make you an item for sale for the rest of their lives. I believe you don’t need 100men to give you life time goals. One person God has chosen to make you, can raise you and support your dreams. If Kylie Jenner can use her fame to become the youngest female billionaire. A lot can do that if one knows her worth and gets the right support from whom loves her,” she added.

In a rather shocking version of life’s events, a Nigerian man has taken many aback on social media following a recent occurrence that happened to him.
The man who took to social media to share an experience his father had, revealed that he got debited a whooping N1,800,000 when he went to purchase fuel at a fuel station and he didn’t even know.
The gentleman stated that his dad went to buy fuel and obviously, used the POS option, but when the receipt printed showed the amount that was debited, the overwhelming amount had, even the manager of the station in shock.
Sharing a photo of the receipt on his social media page, the gentlean wrote,
Lmao. Guys, forget the rice gist. My father apparently “bought” 1.8m naira fuel without knowing two days ago (attendant’s error)
The manager of the petrol station just stopped him to inform him. Their accounts department or whatever has been trying to figure it out
His story has of course, sparked a lot of reactions on social media… what do you think?!
A 21-year-old Chinese man simply known as Ajun has undergone surgery to correct a birth deformity that left him with nine toes on his left foot.
Smaller digits sprouted out between his normal-sized toes in odd places. And he also lacked a big toe, instead having two smaller toes in a ‘v’ shape.
He spent his childhood avoiding any social interaction and was too embarrassed to ask a girl on a date.
Describing his tough schooldays, Ajun said: ‘I stopped wearing sandals outside since my third year of primary school.
‘I’ve never had a girlfriend because I’m so imperfect. I never thought I’d find anyone who wants to be with me.’
Usually, people born with such deformities have the extra digits surgically removed during childhood but Ajun’s superstitious parents did not want him to have the toes removed because a fortune teller told them they were a good omen.
He suffered for so long with the condition because of his parents’ stubborn belief that it was a ‘gift from the heavens’.
Ajun said,
‘They were superstitious, so they didn’t deal with it. They thought if it really looked too bad, I could just cover it with my shoes.’
Ajun was however determined to rid himself of the extra toes once he reached adulthood.
Dr Wu Xiang, from Shunde Heping Surgical Hospital in Foshan, said,
‘It’s very rare to see such a serious deformity having not been treated in a 21-year-old patient.’
His team spent nine hours operating on Ajun, forging a new big toe and chopping off the extra ones.
Dr Wu said,
‘Other hospitals would’ve just removed his outermost extra toes.
‘That would’ve been the easiest solution, but it wouldn’t look the best.
‘His most natural looking toe is on the outside, so we decided to migrate it inwards to its most ideal position, replacing his fifth digit and creating a new big toe.’
Polydactyly is the scientific name for having extra digits on hands and feet.
Affecting one in every 700 to 1,000 worldwide, it occurs during the sixth or seventh week of pregnancy, where a foetus’ ‘paddle hands and feet’ divide into fingers and toes.
Spouse of Big Brother Naija housemate, Mike, has shared beautiful photos of her slaying in Ankara as she stepped out for an event recently.
The lovely also posed alongside the reality show’s host, Ebuka Uchendu’s wife, Cynthia.
Sharing photos on Instagram, Perri wrote,
“Stepping out in trad with @justcynthia_o who made this happen in a very short space of time”
A while back, Perri sat down with ADEDAYO ODULAJA, for an interview, where she opened up on several issues concerting her marriage and relationship with Mike, who became the first runner up, of the Big Brother Naija Reality TV show.
When she was asked,
Now that he is talking about staying in Nigeria, how are you going to cope with that?
She said,
I am going to be around much because I understand he wants to grow his business here. I am of Jamaican background but I have Nigerian friends in the UK so this culture is nothing new to me.
I have seen it, I know it and I love the music, the people and I am Nigerian now because my husband is from here.
We talked about his coming and everything because no matter what I am doing, he has got my back and whatever I am doing, I’ve got his back also and what we agreed when he wanted to go in is for him to be himself.
And I am not surprised that people are showing him love like this because he can go anywhere and be part of any crowd, black or white, it doesn’t matter and people would love you if they would.
My husband wants to stay here, he would surely be getting a place and since that is the case I will be here by his side many times even though I have a life in the UK.

National telecommunications operator, Globacom, has emerged the preferred network for 2 million new subscribers in Nigeria in September, the largest in the industry, according to latest statistics released by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).

The NCC statistics showed that it was only Globacom and Airtel that added new subscribers to their networks, as MTN and 9mobile recorded a decline in active subscriptions for the month.

”When the news broke a lot of people were talking about it because my babies were very tiny because they were born prematurely’
“So, I was afraid to broadcast. I did not want to lose them after the long wait and according to a Yoruba adage that says if you broadcast a child you might lose the child, so, I decided to keep it within the family until they are fully grown and healthy.
“That is why I denied it when the news got out. But my partner told me not to be afraid, that God, who gave the kids will surely protect them and that was when I came out to tell people. I was initially afraid of how they looked, very tiny, thank God today they are big.
“It was hard to keep it a secret. A lot of colleagues in the media knew about it but I told them to hold on till the right time to broadcast it. I tried as much as I could to keep the news from getting out, I did not release any of their pictures.”
A woman whose husband cheated on her with her friend was angered when she learned she would have to pay him $7,500, so she decided to get back at the system by paying the substantial sum in coins.
