I can give Teddy A my kidney – Bam Bam

It is common knowledge that former Big Brother Naija housemate, Bamike Olawumi, also known as Bam Bam met her boyfriend, Teddy A at the contest last year. There were a lot of speculations about the future of their relationship after they came out of the house.

Recently, the organisers of the show decided to have a reunion for the old housemates. The event was filled with a lot of drama like a lie detector test.

In a chat with Saturday Beats, Olawunmi noted that she already had peace about her relationship with Teddy A before the reunion show. However, the lie detector test further influenced the level of peace she had about their love affair.

“Honestly, there is no relationship without its ups and downs or doubts; but that was a lie detector test; you can never know what is in the heart of anybody.

Annie Idibia reveals why she doesn’t like to be called Tubaba’s wife

Actress and spouse of Nigerian singer, 2Baba, Annie Idibia, has revealed that she prefers to be called by her name instead of being called Tubaba’s wife.

Annie Idibia reveals

Annie revealed this in an interview where she spoke about her career and marriage. She said,

This year started for me quite tough. I spent the first three months of this year in the hospital with my father because he had been sick for a while but God has been great and I am grateful. I am actually closer to my mother than my father because she raised us single-handedly. My father is still my father and since he was sick we had to rally round him.

Growing up with only my mother really affected my life and I suffered and I do not ever want my children to face the agony of not having both parents together because it was so hard for us. Even right now, the way the world is, children are more enlightened than we were in our days, so the pressure would be harder on the kids from broken homes right now. I do not want my children to ever experience that.”

Concerning her career and how she would love to be addressed:

I took a break from my career because after I got married, I got pregnant so I had a baby and had to get used to the new life. I think I did not do any movie for about three years. Being addressed as Tubaba’s wife instead of Annie the actress has been a problem that I have been trying to work on for a long time.

“I want to believe that I have successfully been able to identify and differentiate my brand as Annie Idibia the actress/career woman and Annie Idibia the wife/mother. I prefer being addressed as Annie and not Tubaba’s wife. I hate this because I am my own person and have worked hard to build my career and brand. I should be identified and respected on that basis.”

Parrot arrested

A parrot has been arrested for alerting drug dealers that the police were coming, following a raid in northern Brazil.

The Parrot which was arrested after it alerted ‘drug dealers’ that the police were coming, was shouting “Mummy, police” as soon as security operatives arrived at a house in the Vila Irma Dulce neighbourhood of the city of Teresina. The green-feathered bird which was taken into custody where he was photographed perched inside a chicken-wire cage, before being transferred to Teresina Zoo, was owned by a drug dealer nicknamed “India” who had been arrested twice for drug trafficking in the past.

“He must have been trained for that,” said one officer involved in the operation. “As soon as police got close he began shouting.” “Lots of police officers have come by and he’s said nothing,” said local vet Alexandre Clark.

Footage of the raid’s aftermath aired by R7 showed police cataloguing small bags of crack, while the parrot sits obediently on a countertop next to a racecar helmet and a glass bottle. Husband of the drug dealer who owns the bird was identified only as Edvan, 30, and he was arrested after crack cocaine was found in the house during the raid. The couple’s 16-year-old daughter who was found with cannabis in her underwear, was released with a warnin according to Brazilian TV station Glob

Nollywood movie producers pirate their own movies for quick money – Tonto Dikeh

Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh in her interview with Plus TV, revealed that some Nollywood movie producers pirate their own movies for quick money.

Revealing that some Nollywood movie producers pirate their own movies for quick money, Tonto Dikeh said in the interview;

“It is so deep that the truth is, it is these same producers, directors, marketers that are now the ones pirating their own movies. There was a time i overheard a conversation between producers saying instead of ‘me losing out, let me go and pirate my movies myself so i can cash out myself if i don’t make enough from the original copies’.

See, the pirates on the streets, we sell the access to them from the inside, so if we are fighting corruption, we need to fight it from the inside first. If we can stop this from inside, the ones outside too will stop. The ones doing it to themselves need to stop, you can’t be fighting what you are instigating”

Speaking further, she said “Nollywood is in a good place but it can be in a better place if it has sponsors, more commitment, more cash, more commitment, more support.”

On her sudden disappearance from the movie industry, she said “I haven’t retired, the truth is I have played every role there is. There isn’t much challenge anymore.

I have about just two or three movies that make go wow, I want to be in this. There is no action, no adrenaline rush when watching Nollywood movies, it is just the same pictures, stories, scenes, environment, we don’t have location“

She further said “Different things actually come into place on why I haven’t been on the screen today, I haven’t found the perfect script that I want to act in.

“I want to watch a movie i star in and hear my voice and not know it is my voice..we need to train ourselves and be more and i think I am one of the few people that have attained that more….”

When asked why she isn’t producing her own movies to prove that she is indeed not in the league of the modern Nollywood producers, Tonto Dikeh said “Producing is not something i love, it is not for everybody, i am more good in acting but producing is not my thing but Geneveive Nnaji has made me understand that now with Lion heart.”

A Nigerian man has taken to his social media page to narrate how he discovered the meaning of the word Iberiberism during his unpleasant experience at the Sam Mbakwe Cargo Airport in Owerri, Imo state.

For the benefit of those who do not know, today, I discovered the full meaning of Iberiberism in Owerri.
At the Sam Mbakwe Cargo Airport, there was power outage for over three hours. We were all sweating like Easter Fowls! At a point I have to ask Angela Nkwo-Akpolu to leave to save her from further heat. We walked past the metal detector that what was not in use due to absence of electricity. The departure hall was in darkness and people had to sit outside and some actually sat on the edge of the tarmac.
When the Air Peace flight scheduled to take off from Owerri at 5pm arrived Owerri at about 5.45pm, people who were already outside on the tarmac refused to go back to the Departure Hall in order for their tickets to be checked before boarding.
The Airport was leaking seriously, even as repair works were ongoing.
My people that’s it: Iberiberism!

I don’t like it when people say You have to build a man from ground to the top. Building a man is not really the problem but forgetting ur self while building him is the problem, you must always understand that u also have some growth to do too

Oh yes u can Support him, You can Encourage him, But don’t you ever forget that u are the first priority. You have a lot of work to do on ur self. Focusing on him than your self is so wrong. Now Focus on the woman u planned to become, If you continue to focus on him alone. You will be broken and might regret it later Cos u we’re busy building some1 else

For Everyone story that was A success, I can show you a thousand more Where there was a damage ,hurt, And disappointment . Some men will ask their wives not to work, That he will provide everything. When things start getting bad, He will not understand it’s a phase That will pass. He will turn around and say the woman is a witch that made him broke forgetting he practically asked her not to work, no supporting hand, Blaming her for being broke, Women don’t ever agree to that

Women are help mate we know, But that Doesn’t mean she should kill ur self, Help him grow but don’t forget u are the first priority. U should be able to do some things on ur own too without u calling yoursweetheart all the time for help. You can build an empire together. If u both are growing I don’t know who needs to hear this . Cheers ? to the weekend

We won’t accept anything less than N30,000 Minimum wage from governors — NLC

NLC president, Ayuba Wabba, has stated that Nigerian workers would not accept anything less than the N30,000 minimum wage from state governors.

Wabba said this at the NLC delegate conference in Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, on Thursday April 25th.

Speaking at the conference, Wabba whose speech was read by an ex-officio of the congress, Maureen Onyia-Ekwuazi, said the new minimum wage has become binding, having been signed into law by President Buhari. He stressed that the Congress would not take anything short of N30,000 as minimum wage from state governors since it has become a right.

“Once the minimum wage bill had been signed by President Buhari, it has become a law and we won’t allow any governor to circumvent the law. What we asked for was a living wage and we can’t allow anybody to shortchange our members,” he said.

This is coming after the President Buhari signed the bill for the new minimum wage into law last week. Some Governors have expressed worries of not being able to pay the new minimum wage.

How botched lip filler procedure distorted a woman’s lips (Photos)

A quite lovely looking mother decided to get lip fillers on her already perfect lip but the outcome of the procedure was so horrible that her friend puked upon seeing it.

29-year-old Christina Burton was left with horrific “sausage lips” and had to be rushed to hospital after her lips continued to swell and made her unable to breathe properly.

botched lip filler procedure

The mum-of-two used numbing cream before the £75 procedure was administered at her home in Wythenshawe, Greater Manchester. The beautician reportedly reassured her that swelling was normal but hours after having the 1ml of filler, she had to be rushed to hospital to receive adrenaline, oxygen and steroids.

She said she feared she could have died during the botched procedure which she said left her looking like a “duck gone wrong”.

She said,

They looked like sausages on my face, I looked like a duck gone wrong.

My lips kept getting bigger and bigger and more painful. I thought my lips were going to explode, the pain was unreal.

I couldn’t swallow anything. I tried taking antihistamines and painkillers to help with the swelling and I had an ice lolly to keep them cool but they just got out of control.

As soon as they put the cream on I just knew something wasn’t right, my lips were tingling and felt like they were swelling up straight away.

When you have numbing cream on it does feel like it’s swollen because it’s numb.

That time I just felt something wasn’t right – my lips were swelling straight away and I was in pain, which I never usually am.

After she left I looked in the mirror and saw they were swollen, my throat was numb and I started struggling to swallow.

The swelling was that bad it went up into my nose and it closed my throat and nose. I was struggling to breathe.

When it got to that point I had to phone an ambulance.

botched lip filler procedure

An ambulance crew raced to her home and they gave her adrenaline and put her on oxygen and rushed her to Wythenshawe Hospital, where staff gave her steroids and drugs and kept her in overnight for monitoring.

She added,

“The hospital nurses couldn’t believe how badly swollen my lips and the skin between my nose and lips were.

“The pain felt like they were going to explode, it felt like when something has its own pulse.

“I couldn’t open my mouth because my lips were that heavy, it was scary.”

botched lip filler procedure

The stay-at-home mum says her friends were in shock when she sent them photos of her new lips and one friend even threw up in shock.

Christina had the botched lip filler procedure done in September and her lips are now back to normal. But she has urged people to do their research before they undergo cosmetic procedures.
