Nollywood actress, Sylvia Ukaatu, who recently celebrated her birthday, has shared her thoughts on pre-marital sex.
According to the actress, she would taste her man before marriage to avoid stories that touch the heart.
In her words;
“It’s an individual opinion but there is nothing wrong in giving in to sex before marriage when it comes to two consensual adults who know what they want. I will give in to sex before marriage because I can’t shout I need to know if my man is fit for the match. It is a serious business because it will be appalling to discover after marriage that my man cannot stay for five minutes in bed,” she told Potpourri in a one-on-one chat, when asked if premarital sex is wrong.
The Anambra beauty further emphasized her love for the intimate act when answering the question of what she would do if after marriage her man becomes inactive.
“We must find a solution, I’m not the type of woman that sings “I don’t like sex” thereby pushing my man outside. I love sex, so, we must find a solution if such a thing happens but God forbid that it happens,”
A Nigerian man has allegedly lost his life after overdosing on a combination of illicit drugs called “gutter water”.
According to reports, the man identified as Kenneth aka Dagba Junior died after he was rushed to the hospital. He had reportedly gone to a hotel in Ikorodu, Lagos with friends before deciding to experiment on illicit drugs.
He reportedly ingested the “gutter water” which is a combination of codeine, refnol, tramadol, cannabis and water or juice.
Kenneth, who is epileptic, took the drug on Saturday at Durak hotel and immediately started having seizures, a report by Instablog stated. He was later rushed to the Ikorodu general hospital, where he eventually gave up the ghost.

First Lady of Lagos, Bolanle Ambode was photoed going down on both knees to greet head of states, President Buhari during his visit to the state last week.
With her husband, the governor, Akinwumi Ambode by her side, the Lagos state first lady is seen shaking the head of states while kneeling down – a typical Yoruba gesture when showing respect for someone above you.
President Muhammadu Buhari arrived at the economic capital of West Africa last Thursday amidst fanfare as his presence met an unprecedented number of his loyalists who showed up to see and cheer the commander-in-chief.
The President was received on Thursday by the state governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, as well as the Minister of Information and Culture, Mr Lai Mohammed, among other government officials.
Shortly after his arrival, President Buhari inaugurated the Ikeja Bus Terminal which is expected to commute more than 100,000 residents across 23 bus routes in the state.
He later proceeded to the venue of the colloquium organised to mark the 66th Birthday of the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, in Victoria Island axis of the state.
A Nigerian man took to Facebook to narrate his ordeal with a woman he saw in a restaurant with her kids and housemaid.
According to him, the woman reportedly came to eat with her kids and housemaid at the restaurant.
The woman ordered two plates of rice and chicken for her children but the maid was made to eat just biscuit while she watched the woman and her children eat rice.
Read Larry’s narration below:
I went out with a friend to celebrate his birthday today and it was fun but something strange happened a woman came in with 3 kids for dinner and she orders for 2 plate of rice and chicken.
To my greatest surprise one of the kid was left out and was given biscuit to eat by the woman in the presence of the 2 kids while they were eating the rice.
The little kid was holding his/herself to eat the biscuit and it was such a painful thing to see.
Honestly, African women are mostly Evil how much will it cost you to give to someone who probably takes care of this little ones when you are not at home its so painful and annoying no wonder witchcraft will not end in Africa.
I’m really saddened honesty…

Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo has once again criticized the Buhari-led administration.
He warns Nigerians ‘not to reinforce failure by re-electing ineffective and incompetent government come 2019.’
Obasanjo who sent a letter to President Buhari advising him not to run in the 2019 general elections, slammed the government again when he spoke while receiving the Chima Anyaso led New Nigeria group at the Olusegun Obasanjo presidential library in Abeokuta, Ogun state yesterday Monday, April 2nd.
Speaking, the former president said;
”Never you reinforce failure. Let failure be failure. And if you do not see what you should see, you will then be a victim of what you don’t like because it’s only when you see what you should see and you do what you should do that you put away what you do not like. Those of you who are into business know that by now you could have been better if we have an effective government. The truth is this – when you have an ineffective and incompetent government, we are all victims and don’t let anybody deceive you.” he said
He also advised Nigerians to ignore the apology and reform claims made by the opposition party, PDP.
”Stop giving excuses; we met challenges. If there were no challenges, then we wouldn’t need you to come. You came in because you know there were challenges… stop giving us excuse that you have many challenges, that is why you haven’t achieved results. I have publicly said and I mean it, that as a party, neither PDP nor APC can get us there as they have been. Never mind about reforms and apology and all that.”.

The anti-corruption net has spread out to a former Minister of Finance, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala after she was invited by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to explain how about $250million of the $500million recovered from the family of the late Head of State, Gen.Sani Abacha, was withdrawn.
According to findings by the EFCC, the cash was released to the Office of National Security Adviser( ONSA) without appropriation.
Fact-sheet obtained by The Nation shows the Acting Chairman of EFCC, Mr Ibrahim Magu, has approved Mrs Okonjo-Iweala’s invitation.
A top source said: “Magu has approved the invitation of the ex-minister. We have dispatched a letter of invitation to her. We are hopeful that she will respond.
“Her presence is necessary because there were issues about the $250million released especially why $36,155,000(N13,015,800billion) was withdrawn in cash.
“She needs to assist the EFCC team on what became of the balance of $250million which was yet to be traced.
“She has to explain why some of the funds were diverted to extraneous matters including media services, opinion polls and personal matters.”
Furthermore, the fact-sheet shows that the Office of the National Security Adviser in a memo on January 12, 2015, requested the former Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala to transfer $300million.
The memo said: “Please refer to our meeting on recovered funds. You are please requested to remit the sum of $300m and £5.5m to the following account being ONSA share as agreed.
Okonjo-Iweala via a memo to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, reportedly requested for the release of $300m from Abacha loot to the former National Security Adviser (NSA), of which only $250million was released.
On January 29, 2015, the ex-President responded to the ex-Minister as follows: “CME/HMF, approved.”
Meanwhile, Okonjo-Iweala had in 2015 insisted that she had no case to answer, saying former President Jonathan set up a Committee comprising of the former Minister of Justice, former NSA and the former Minister of Finance to determine how best to use both the returned and expected funds for development.
Oluwakemi Abayomi is a 15 year old girl that has disappeared from home after her mother, Mariam Lebi reportedly scolded her for an alleged immoral affair.
According to Punch, her mother had also planned to punish her, including changing her environment, when she did not return home.
The case has been reported to the police at Ilasan Police Station.
It was gathered that the primary six pupil was the mother’s first child. The mother, who is a cleaner in a public school, reportedly separated from her father when she was a toddler.
Lebi, who had had three other children with her new partner, revealed that Abayomi went missing around 1pm on Sunday. She said, “She was living with my mother in the Lekki Beach area.
I stay around Itedo, which is just a stone’s throw from my mother’s place. I got a report of her misbehaviour and told her to bring her luggage to my house. I scolded her and told her that I would take her far away from this vicinity after her common entrance.
She went to my mum’s house on Sunday to pick her luggage. As she was coming back, a tricycle rider I knew told me he picked her and dropped her off at Elf bus stop around 1pm. He said he saw her board a vehicle to Ajah.
She was supposed to alight at Ikate Roundabout, but she didn’t return home. Later, someone told me that a man came to her school to look for her on Wednesday when the school vacated.
I was told that after the discussion, the man gave her a telephone number. Nobody knew who the man was and from the description, I don’t know the man myself.
She was getting wayward and involving herself in immoral relationships when I became angry and decided to change her environment. But I didn’t expect her to disappear from home. She has never done this before and all my relatives said they have not seen her.”

It is no longer news that Prince Harry will be getting married to American actress Meghan Markle on the 19th of May this year.
However, Meghan Markle has to keep to these Royal Rules whether she likes it or not as being part of the royal family.
From not travelling without funeral clothes to no selfies and others.
See the don’ts below…
NO TRAVELING WITHOUT FUNERAL CLOTHES
After Princess Elizabeth was visiting Kenya with Prince Philip, she was caught off guard when her father, King George VI, died suddenly. She had to travel sans mourning clothes, and since then, all royals must carry funeral clothes with them on all trips.”This ensures that when they return to the U.K. they are seen to be in a respectful mood that correlates with the presumable sombre mindset of the nation during that period,” The Independent reports.
NO SELFIES
Cute dog-face filters will be a thing of the past for Markle when she becomes a duchess. And it looks like she’s already practicing this rule. On her first official event with Prince Harry, the actress revealed that she is no longer allowed to take selfies with fans when a couple asked for a picture with her. “We’re not allowed to do selfies,” she reportedly told the couple.The rule was established to encourage people to make eye contact and make conversation with royals, instead of turning their backs to them (a huge no-no) to take a selfie. “Turning your back to the Duke and Duchess and taking a selfie is discouraged if at all possible. I know it’s fun to do, but they much would rather see your face,” Jennifer Gehmair, a Royal Family etiquette expert, told Smooth Radio.
NO AUTOGRAPHS
In the same vein as selfie-taking, Markle will no longer be allowed to sign autographs when she becomes a royal. The rule stems from a fear that autographs will lead people to forge their signatures, which is why they’re only allowed to sign royal documents and, sometimes, visitors’ books, according to The Royal U.K., a website dedicated to the family.In 2010, this rule was broken by Prince Charles who scribbled “Charles 2010” on a piece of paper for a family whose home was destroyed by a natural disaster, according to Daily Mail. He reportedly apologized for his “shaky writing” because he “never writes standing up.” NO SOCIAL MEDIA
Markle’s social media, including her Twitter and Instagram, have been inactive for months. As you might expect, she will no longer be able to use her own personal accounts. Instead, like Prince Harry, William, and Kate Middleton, she will use the family’s Kensington Royal account to share updates on her life and royal happenings. The account is where the family shared her engagement pictures and announcement.
NO P.D.A.
Despite the frequent hand-holding and touching we’ve seen from Prince Harry and Markle, P.D.A. is quite rare in the Royal Family. Though there is no official rule that restricts public displays of affection, there is a longstanding tradition that royal couples keep their P.D.A. to a minimum, according to royal etiquette expert, Myka Meier, for People.That might be why you’ve rarely seen Kate Middleton and Prince William kiss in public since their wedding. Given that Markle and Prince Harry already almost broke this rule when they held hands during their engagement announcement, Meier predicts that this rule will slowly be fizzled out by the couple. “Meghan and Prince Harry holding hands at a royal engagement is a refreshingly modern approach to their new role both as a couple and as representative of the royal family,” Meier said.
NO VOTING
When Markle marries Prince Harry, she will obtain her U.K. citizenship, but that doesn’t mean that she will be able to participate in the same rights that other U.K. citizens can. Though it isn’t outlawed, an official site for the U.K. parliament claims that it is “unconstitutional” for the Monarch to vote and that many Royal Family members also don’t participate in elections out of “convention.””Although not prohibited by law, it is considered unconstitutional for the Monarch to vote in an election,” the site states.
NO ADULT BRIDESMAIDS
There has been a lot of talk about whether Markle’s celebrity BFFs, Serena Williams and Priyanka Chopra, will show up to her wedding as bridesmaids. But, per royal tradition, it’s very unlikely that a royal bride has adult bridesmaids.
According to European royal expert Marlene Koenig, who spoke to Town and Country, it is “unusual” for a bride to have a bridesmaid or maid of honor over 30 at her wedding. Typically, the wedding party includes children or pre-teenagers.However, Koenig explained that this rule was recently broken twice.
Once, when Kate Middleton recruited her sister, Pippa, as a bridesmaid in 2011, and another time when the queen had a group of bridesmaids roughly the same age as her when she married in 1947. These semi-recent weddings might suggest a new tradition for Markle’s nuptials.

NO COLORED NAIL POLISH
Take a look at Markle’s hands in the recent months, and you’ll notice that she’s already started following this rule. According to sources for OK! magazine, Royal Family members are prohibited from wearing dark and colored nail polish, meaning that they stick with skin-tone shades. Both the Queen and Kate Middleton are a fan of Essie’s $9 peachy colors, so we’re predicting Markle will also be a big customer of the brand.
NO WEDGES
This isn’t an official rule, but it’s highly likely that Markle will be purging her closet of all her wedges soon. According to a source for Vanity Fair, the Queen despises wedges and makes it very clear to the women in the Royal Family that their outfit will not be well-received if it includes the shoes.”The Queen isn’t a fan of wedged shoes. She really doesn’t like them and it’s well known among the women in the family,” the source said.
NO EATING AT HER OWN PACE
Along with learning how to properly greet the Queen, Markle will need to learn how to eat with her, as well. According to Diane Gottsman, author of Modern Etiquette for a Better Life, who spoke to Bravo, there are strict rules when eating with the Queen. One, Markle will not begin eating until the Queen has started. Second, she needs to keep a close eye on the Queen’s plate because when she finishes, everyone around her also must stop eating, even if there is still food. This could be a struggle considering how quickly the Queen eats, according to rumor.”No one should start eating before the Monarch and no one should carry on eating after the Monarch has finished,” Gottsman said.
NO CROSSED LEGS WHEN SITTING
Though it’s not an official rule, it’s frowned upon for Royal Family members to cross their legs when sitting, according to an expert for Hello! This is likely why you’ll never see a picture of Kate Middleton crossing her legs. Instead, Middleton puts her legs side-by-side and slightly tilts them—a pose dubbed as “the Duchess Slant.” Princess Diana also used the position to avoid crossing her legs.
NO SLEEPING IF THE QUEEN IS UP
Though she’s allowed to rest whenever she wants in her home, when she stays at the Queen’s house, Markle must stay up until the Queen goes to sleep, according to the Daily Beast. Luckily, the Queen almost never goes to sleep after 11:30 p.m. (to not throw off her schedule the next day), so Markle won’t have to stay up too late.
NO ENTERING A ROOM FIRST
Along with sitting next to Prince Harry 99 percent of the time she’s at a Royal Family gathering, Markle will also need to be wary of who is entering the room and when. According to Reader’s Digest, there is a strict hierarchy for who can enter a room first. The order goes: Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip, Prince Charles, Camila, Prince William, Kate Middleton, and then likely, Prince Harry and Markle.

Mike Bamiloye has voiced his opinion on the attitude of Church instrumentalists.
Bamiloye shared his thoughts on Facebook.
I HAVE A SERIOUS CONCERN The Church Instrumentalists. Those Young Men and Boys that play Musical instruments in the Church. I don’t Understand Many of Them. I come Across them everywhere I have gone. As if their Attitudes have been Universally Agreed upon. You will be Preaching, They will be Fiddling with Guitar Strings. You will be Teaching, many of them will be Sleeping or browsing. Messages of great importance will be blaring out to the Congregation, They will be using their Keyboard to Confirm what the Preachers are saying. When Everyone is in sober reflections on the vital message, they will be playing Nollywood mood music. AND THE ALTAR CALL IS MADE AND PEOPLE ARE COMING OUT FOR SALVATION OR REDEDICATION OF LIFE, THEY WILL BEGIN TO PLAY: “I surrender All…” TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO THE ALTAR. BUT THEY MOST OF THE TIME DONT SEE THE REASON FOR THEM TO REDEDICATE THEIR LIVES TO JESUS. AND THEY RARELY COME OUT FOR ALTAR CALLS. I am Sorry, Maybe it is Only me that has observed this.
Actress and entrepreneur, Chika Ike took to her Instagram page to narrate how she was constantly bullied while growing up because of her body and height.
Read her story below…
“I never liked my body growing up and was constantly bullied about it. I was so skinny and was the tallest in my class.
“I never looked forward to morning assembly because I’ll have to stand at the back of the class or class presentations to talk about “your best friend “ because I’ll be described as the thin girl.
I can remember eating all sorts to things to gain weight but nothing worked, I really craved to have some flesh on me.
“I was called all sorts of names like Lepa, thin girl and Agric chicken because I was so skinny and tall.
“So I started modeling as soon as I graduated from secondary school because modeling agents thought I had “the look”.
Today the reverse is the case, I’m on all sorts of diet programs and exercising every other day to keep the weight I’ve always wanted in check, I feel bad after licking ice cream or eating anything with high-calorie content because ill have to suffer in the gym.
Growing up slim wasn’t cool now its cool. The truth is you have to constantly love you, you can’t be cool to everyone, the world will always have a standard of what you should be, who you should be and how you should live your life.
If you want to make changes or improvements let it not be because of pressure or people’s unconscious bias about you.Do it for you.
You should hold your pen and draw your life plan… Do you… Mind your business…..Run your race.
Do not let anyone define you or rush you with their timeline. We all have different stories, journeys, and different clocks. You are you and that is your power!

The embarrassment was too much, that it gave me strength to decide I must go back to school. I enrolled at L.A.S.U (part-time)
With no support from anyone except my mum. I did so many menial jobs to cater for myself and the new baby. I fried doughnuts and Chin chin, which I supply to retailers on campus. I sold rice outside mummy’s shop on days that I have no lectures. I sold hair extensions, make hair, ‘stay awake overnight to make hair for people (one million braid) was in vogue then.
I remembered a particular day I fed my son with soaked garri! Yes, I couldn’t afford a tin of even the cheapest ‘My boy’ baby food then.. #yetIwon
I struggled, refused to beg, worked, toiled, laboured to be able to stand on my feet. Whatever you are going through be strong, positive, hardworking, and steadfast. And No matter how poor you are, invest the little you get into something.
Fast track to 2006 I joined the movie industry after my IT at The Lagos State Television Agidingbi. Acting is another chapter in my life. I experienced mockery, intimidation. I was called different names, looked down upon, aliases like “Biodun oni cut and sew” and “Tolani Alankara”
I could not afford the expensive cloth/costumes. I was not sophisticated enough. #YetIwon.
Dresses/dressing didn’t pave way for me neither did it stop my success. However, my God given talent make it all possible and easy.
The name people call you today doesn’t define you… be focused, strong, determined and be content with whatever you have.
I almost quit because of intimidation, but that strength of “i must make it” came into play. I refused to be intimidated,bow to pressures,or borrow. I was contented with my “cut and sew”. #yetIwon
Then came the trial that pushed me into becoming an entrepreneur.! For two years I was ignored, no movie jobs, not because of inexperience but because of… yet I persisted. #yetIwon.
I prayed,fasted, and believed in myself. Thereafter, I did a movie that launched me back into reckoning #YetIwon#strongwomen#M
That experience pushed me into the business world in 2011, which wasn’t a success but I wasn’t discouraged. I ventured into another, gave all my being… prayer, Time, money.. Here I am.. a proud girl.. proud of the woman I become, I AM A WINNER.
Don’t be pushed. Your time is different from mine. Mine is different from yours. God’s time is the best. The rejected stone has now become a cornerstone”.
However, a fan of the curvy actress with retentive memory called her attention to an interview in which she claimed she got married as a virgin, which is quite different from her narrative of getting pregnant eighteen years ago.
Read the interview below.
As unbelievable as it may seem the actress married as a virgin. At least, she told Potpourri that much in a recent chat. Now, how many women can come forward with such a claim in this flurry-hurry world of quick fix.
“Yes, I did and I can boldly say that,” she declared.
She then went on to bemoan the spate of pre-marital sex among the youths these days, saying it is not a good sign for the future
“It is saddening that pre-marital sex has taken over our time. In the past, most of our men would disassociate themselves from girls who have been deflowered outside wedlock. Then, a woman’s virginity was her pride but time has changed and human beings have changed. I am not happy about it. Maybe we should blame civilisation or modernisation for this. I pray for God’s intervention in this era”
Describing her first encounter with sex, she says
“My first experience was full of fear, uncertainty, pain and alas! I loved it at the end”
Meanwhile, some Nigerian celebrities have taken to the social media handles to react to the shocking eviction of Big Brother Naija 2018 housemate, Teddy A.
Teddy A was removed from the reality television show last night joining his romantic partner, Bambam, who was earlier evicted on Saturday.
While some of the celebrities felt the musician-ex-housemate did not pay the needed attention to why he was in the house, others are of the opinion that he will still make it outside the show.
Speaking immediately after his eviction, Teddy A had said he will now focus on his music career.
Noble Igwe wrote: “You are a superstar You’d go far Your music will take you places The platform showcased you to Africa but your talent will take your further. You kept it 100 and that’s rare Now , it’s time to plan the house party with Teddy A. Maybe we get to watch the live show at mine.”
According to Don Jazzy, “Bambam and Teddy will be very fine. Win or no win. They are mad talented and ready for industry.”
@Tayofaniran wrote, “Teddy A got the memo on the physical part of the game but not so much on the tactical side of it, I really pray and hope he doesn’t allow that ruin his game,there’s still a lot he can do to work this sh*t out,goodluck soldier.”
The Big Brother Naija live nomination show has just ended.
Here are the names of the housemates that are up for possible eviction and how they nominated.
However, we were shocked while watching the show as Miracle nominated Cee-C and Lolu while Lolu nominated Cee-C and Miracle….what a coincidence right?
See the full list below:
Tobi – Lolu and Nina
Khloe – Nina and Alex
Miracle – Cee-C and Lolu
Alex – Rico and Cee-C
Lolu – Cee-C and Miracle
Anto – Cee-C and Rico
Rico – Cee-C and Lolu
Nina – Lolu and Cee-C
Cee-C – Alex and Anto
Tobi was however not nominated for eviction this week.
The housemates up for Eviction this week are: Miracle, Lolu, Rico, Nina, CeeC, Alex.
Miracle was put up for eviction by head of house, Khloe.
There you have it, which housemates do you think will be going home this week?
Big Brother Naija 2018 housemate, Cee-C shocked viewers by revealing that she met show host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu to make way for her in the reality show.
Recall that rumours surfaced sometime ago that the housemate is a sister-in-law to Ebuka. However, Ebuka’s wife, debunked the rumours.
While speaking on Sunday with fellow housemates about their careers, Cee-C boasted that she went and met Ebuka which reportedly paved way for her to be selected for the show, according to a report by DailyPost.
“I know myself. I’m a f**king lawyer. People have been calling me, asking what is wrong with me, saying ‘girl come on! Go do your masters and face your career.’
“But they don’t understand why I finish law school and decided to come to Big Brother Naija house.
“I know people. If I tell you how I met that one that came here yesterday (Ebuka) you won’t believe it.
“One day I drove my car to see him to tell him I want to be part of the show.
“When he asked my name and I told him, he was surprised based on ‘who I be’.
“And just last week, we met Adesua. That is life. Just knowing people.” Cee-C revealed.
Viewers of the show had in the past accused the organizers of handpicking selected people for the show because of the people they known unlike last year’s edition. A former Big Brother Naija housemate, Gifty even expressed the same concern.
