Veteran Nigerian film actress, Hilda Dokubo has made a shocking revelation about herself during a ministerial event at the Fresh Oil International Church.
According to the youth advocate who once served as special adviser on youth affairs to Peter Odili, a former governor of Rivers State, she was born with a silver spoon but her father’s death turned her poor.
She said:
“I was born with a silver spoon but death turned me poverty stricken after my father died when i was just nine. I turned away from God at that point because i felt disappointed that despite how much my father loved and served God, He still died.”
“After my dad died, my mother completely lost her mind. If she were in U.S, am sure she would have been diagnosed as a mental case. You know in Nigeria, we don’t consider people mad until they have started eating from dustbin. I rebelled against God at that point and stopped going to church at the age of nine.”
“However, i was a very brilliant girl and i got admission into the university at the age of 16. I became rascal and did what girls like that do. I slept with a man and i became pregnant.
It wasn’t the Holy Spirit that impregnated me. My mom was devastated and disappointed in me because of that. I was angry with her because her God killed my father and we stopped speaking to each other.”
In the drama which seems not to end anytime soon, Peter Okoye who reacted to a tweet from a fan, has tagged himself as ‘the only Rich and Established Up Coming Artiste.’

The PSG-Bayern clash at Paris’ Parc de Princes on Wednesday could well decide the winner of Group B at the 2017 European Champions League.
The FC Bayern Munich Forward, Arjen Robben has poked fun at big-spending Paris Saint-Germain on the eve of Bayern Munich’s key Champions League away match in the French capital.
He said:
“Paris have certainly given out a few more euros than us, but money doesn’t score goals, quality on the pitch scores goals, good teams score goals.
The important thing is the performance of the team, not just to focus on particular players.
“I know our team, they are highly motivated and concentrated for games like this,” said the former striker.
“I am convinced we can get something out of this game.”
With Anderlecht and Celtic also in the pool, the PSG-Bayern clash at Paris’ Parc de Princes on Wednesday could well decide the winner of Group B.
Recall, PSG signed Neymar from Barcelona for a world record 222 million euros ($264m) and recruited Kylian Mbappe from Monaco last month on an initial loan deal which is set to be made into a permanent move for 180 million euros next year.

Ace comedian, Basketmouth has reacted to the Psquare’s viral fight video which is making rounds on social media.

Popular AIT Presenter, Lara Wise who had an encounter with her mechanic recently has disclosed that some of them can not make heaven.
The media personality took to her social media page to share the experience she had with one.
She wrote:
He is not my mechanic. My mechanic of over four years is far from my house. This guy is just a walking distance away from my house. We see everyday as I drive out and in. We got acquainted over the years having realized we share the same faith. He is so passionate about God. I would sometimes stop by to gist. We would talk politics, faith, and life in general. He fixed very minor problems on the car ranging from replacing lose screws to greasing tight knots. Minor stuff.
Tor.
Two weeks ago he told me my ‘silencer’ was leaking and driving the car like that would cost me too much fuel. He went under the car, told me it was completely condemned. He brought it out, and, yes, it was. I had worked on it severally. We had to buy a new one. He told me how much. We haggled. I paid. Left the car with him. Hoped in a taxi to do my runs. He returned the car at night. Following morning, I started the car, it sounded like an aircraft. So noisy. I called him. He said he wasn’t coming to the shop that day as he had an outside job. I left the car. Picked a cab. Did my runs. I drove the car to him again the following day. Dropped it there and went to work. I picked my car on my way back and as far as I was concerned, it was okay. When I asked why the initial noise, he told me some screws were not firmly tightened. He then said he realized that the ‘silencer’ he fixed on my car was too weak for my six-cylinder engine so he had to get a higher grade which cost him three thousand naira extra.
Ok.
On Saturday , I drove to my main mechanic to discuss some pending issues and as soon as I drove in, he told me my ‘silencer’ was leaking. I shot him a terrible glance of ” you must be out of your mind. My ‘silencer’ is brand new”. He got under the car and screamed. “Madam, did you say this ‘silencer is new?” to which I replied in the affirmative. He took pictures from underneath the car and showed me on his phone. I felt my breakfast fighting its way up from my stomach to my throat.
I called my ‘brother’ and handed the phone to my mechanic and he got a tongue lash from him for being so dubious.
My ‘brother’ then told me to bring it back on Monday since it was a Saturday and he had just been bereaved.
Monday morning.
I went to his shop and all I asked was for us to drive to where he purchased my ‘silencer’. I was no longer the sweet madam he was used to. I opened the passenger side door and insisted he must hop into the car.
Then his countenancechanged.
He went flat on the floor begging in the name of God.
I asked him to bring out the ‘silencer’.
Ladies and gentlemen, look at the pictures.
Old, worn-out ‘silencer’.
He confessed that he got an old ‘silencer’ and refurbished it for me. He said he bought some iron sheets and wrapped the old ‘silencer’ from inside.
He begged and begged.
I was hamstrung.
Conclusion.
I should give him till next weekend to get me what I paid for.
I was sad and I still am.
What we do to ourselves in terms of harm and wickedness is grave and so unimaginable.

Award winning Ghanaian vocalist, Efya has reacted to public perception about her addiction to smoking weed.
However, Efya in an interview with Delay has disclosed that people thought that way because she hanged around R2Bees who made their smoking activities public.
She said:
“I think it is the boys; Paedae, R2bees — they put it out there when they’re smoking and because of my affiliation with them and everything. But I don’t think that should be a point. I don’t think just because I hang around with people that smoke you should think that I smoke too.”
Well, Celebrities around the world are addicted to one thing or the other. If it’s not drugs then chronic womanizing on the part of the guys.
The same story can be told in Ghana. Although, in the outside world, celebrities don’t debunk rumors pertaining to their addictions but the story is different in Ghana even if they’re caught red-handed.
Former member of the House of Representatives in the second republic, Dr. Junaid Mohammed, without mincing words called former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, a nonentity for the latter daring to say Northerners are lazy for not wanting the restructuring of Nigeria.
While reacting to Atiku’s comment in an interview with The Sun, Junaid said:
“Atiku is a scoundrel and a bloody nonentity. He attained political limelight because the late Musa Yar’Adua put him there; today he wants to position himself as the leader of the north. But the north doesn’t give people of no consequence such position. His interest is not really about restructuring. He thinks by insulting the north, the same way we are being insulted by the south, that will give him the presidency. With this kind of attitude, he can’t be the president of Nigeria. He will hear from the north at the appropriate time. He is one of those making the south to abuse the north. He is angry because his monopoly in the oil servicing sector has been broken. His wealth will never buy him Nigeria’s presidency. The north is not for sale, Nigeria is not for sale. I pray God sees us beyond 2019, let him challenge me, if he ever becomes Nigeria’s president,”.

A teenager had faced bullying all her life due to an extremely rare skin condition which leaves her covered in scales.
Floraine Nalugon, who was dubbed “snake lady” said she had to move from her hometown with her parents when she was just 7 to a different town because of the insensitive comments people made about her.
According to her, her parents told her she was conceived out of fish that’s why she has skin that looks like fish scale. Other said her skin looks like snake skin.
Floraine needs to constantly smear her body with moisturiser to stop it from hardening and seizing up. She said her bedding is covered in “scales” every morning when she wakes up and she rarely ventures into the crowded places in a bid to avoid unwanted stares.
The teen suffers with ichthyosis – a condition where a faulty gene affects the rate at which the skin regenerates causing a build-up of rough, scaly skin. Floraine,17, from Bukindnon in the Philippines hopes to be treated by experts in Spain who are looking into her case.
She said: “When I was seven years old, my parents moved. Initially, I thought I could escape kids back home, who ridiculed me for my condition.
My parents told me that I was conceived out of fish, that’s why my skin looks like fish scales to some while to others it looks like snake skin. It hurts me lot hearing other people making fun of me. My parents gave me the strength through. They showered me with love despite my physical deformities.”
India-based press agency Newslions is currently helping Shalini Yadav, 16, from Madhya Pradesh get treatment for a similar condition in Malaga. They have taken details of Floraine’s case to the same doctors.
Florained says she is excited to know that there is a treatment of the disease she suffers from. She is determined to make something out of her life to show those who discriminated against her that there is more to her.
She said; “I will be studying hard, get a good job and show to people that discriminate against me that there is a chance for me to be like them also. I am hopeful that I will also be treated like the Indian girl, who suffers from the same disease like mine, is being treated today.”
Cardi B is the first female rapper to rule without any other billed acts since Lauryn Hill in 1998. Plus, Portugal. The Man earns its first top 10.
Cardi B becomes the first female rapper to top the Billboard Hot 100 chart without the assistance of any other credited artists in nearly 19 years, as her debut hit “Bodak Yellow (Money Moves)” rises from No. 2 to No. 1 on the latest chart (dated Oct. 7).
There are a few reasons why this is such a significant piece of news. For one, Cardi B has gone from the most entertaining breakout star of the VH1 reality show Love & Hip Hop to chart-topping rapper in under two years.
For another, she’s now the first solo female rapper to reach this height since Lauryn Hill’s “Doo Wop (That Thing)” debuted at No. 1 in 1998, or almost 20 years ago.
Nicki Minaj
If this stat surprises you — what about Nicki Minaj or Missy Elliott?! — the way Billboard calculates its Hot 100 rankings comes down to Nielsen’s measurements of streaming plays, sales, and crucially, radio play.
“Bodak Yellow” exploded in all three areas almost immediately; in just the past week, Billboard reports that the song’s streaming plays increased by 14 percent. As a result, 11 weeks later, “Bodak Yellow” has knocked Swift out of the top spot.
Cardi B
As expected, fans have been trying to start a superiority war between Rap queen, Nicki Minaj and Cardi B .It has even gotten more intense after her new milestone…
Well,Nicki is not letting anyone pit them against each other as she took to Instagram to congratulate Cardi.

The Eldest Brother of the PSquare group, Jude Okoye has welcomed another baby girl with his wife, Ifeoma Umuokeke, in the United States.
They have since named her Chisom.
This is coming after Peter wrote to their lawyer, and demand a PSquare split, after he alleged that his elder brother, Jude is after his life.
Jude Okoye’s wife, Ifeoma with their First Child, Emma and their new born baby, Chisom.
“According to Peter, Paul is no longer willing to co-operate with him, even going as far as cancelling their planned US tour this year without informing him, and he (Peter) has exhausted all options to make it work.
He also accused Paul of slandering his wife and children with lies on social media, and alleged that they’ve now been receiving threatening messages. Peter further accused his older brother Jude of once threatening to kill him and shoot his wife Lola. This allegedly happened in the presence of Paul and former first lady of Cross River state Mrs Imoke. Jude allegedly also threatened to bring a coffin for him (Peter) if he ever comes near his house.”
Neither of the brothers have spoken up since this allegation surfaced.
Lagos State Governor, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode on Monday handed over 120 new 5KVA generating sets to the Lagos State Police Command to power all police formations across the State, with a pledge of continuous support to security agencies to ensure optimal performance.
Speaking at Lagos House in Ikeja while handing over the generating sets to the police, the Governor reiterated the commitment of his administration to ensure the enforcement of rule of law and safety of lives and property in the State, just as he said that his vision was for the State to be among the safest places to live and work in Africa.
Governor Ambode, who was represented at the brief handing over ceremony by the Chairman of Lagos State Security Trust Fund (LSSTF), Mr Oye-Hassan Odukale, said the security of residents and investors remain one of the cardinal objectives of his administration, and that government would not relent in coming up with initiatives and programmes to guarantee safety of the people.
He said the generating sets were procured by the Fund to ensure that police formations in the State work optimally in their mandate of safeguarding lives and property.
According to him: “Lagos State is the safest State and we hope to make the State to be among the safest States in Africa which is our objective at the Fund. Anything about security is given high priority by our administration. Lagosians are now feeling safe.
The safety that we are experiencing don’t come cheap but I like to assure that at the Fund, we are always willing to move at any time to ensure that we keep Lagos safe,” he said.
The Governor also congratulated the new Commissioner of Police in the State, Mr Imohimi Edgal, and pledged to work with him to ensure the safety of the people.
He said aside the provision of the generating sets, the LSSTF had also been mandated to carry out the installations of the new equipment in all the Divisions and Area Commands in the State.
Besides, Governor Ambode urged police officers to take good care of the generating sets and use them for the purpose meant for the overall benefit and safety of the people.
Earlier, in his welcome address, Executive Secretary of LSSTF, Dr Abdulrazak Balogun said the generating sets would be distributed across the 107 Police Divisions and 13 Area Commands in the State. He said the procurement of the generating sets was in furtherance of the Light Up Lagos Project of the present administration aimed at ensuring that every nook and cranny of the State are well lit.
He said: “The procurement is also in tandem with Governor Ambode’s vision of a secured and investment-friendly Lagos. Police formations are critical to securing lives and property in the State and it is very important that these stations function optimally. This is why the Lagos State Security Council recommended the provision of power generating sets for these stations and the State Security Trust Fund expeditiously approved the expenditure.”
Responding, the State’s Commissioner of Police (CP), Mr. Imohimi Edgal thanked Governor Ambode for the gesture, saying that the generating sets could not have come at a better time.
While assuring that the generating sets would be put to optimal use, Edgal said that the facility would go a long way to ensuring that the divisional and area commands are well lit up to enable them effectively enforce the laws of the land.
“You can imagine the confidence members of the public will have if divisional headquarters and area commands are lit with the confidence that their matters would be earnestly addressed.
“Power is very essential. Our communication gadgets, especially phones need to be charged. You cannot function anywhere, you can’t take complains, you can’t give directives to field officers when there is no power. These generating sets are very valuable to us,” the CP said.
Toyin Aimakhu and Adeniyi Johnson may be looking to still live together as husband and wife – or so hopeful fans think, and this is because the duo who separated years ago are still legally married.
Recall that their relationship packed up in 2015 following rumours that the actor cheated on her. The duo moved on to date other people, with Toyin getting into yet-another disastrous relationship with filmmaker Seun Egbede of Golden Effects Films who is presently in prison on fraud charges.
Many people assumed that Toyin and Adeniyi were legally over, until this latest report from SDK, which cited a source close to the duo, saying that the actors are still married.
According to this source, Toyin filed for divorce but when her lawyers reached out to the actor last year, he hesitated, saying he needed to consult people before going ahead with the decision to dissolve their relationship. He had yet to respond to the suit as at press time.
Here’s what the source said:
“Toyin’s Lawyer had called Niyi to finalise the divorce. Instead of Niyi’s lawyer contacting Toyin’s, Niyi showed up at the meeting alone without his lawyer at the mall in Ikeja. After deliberations and discussions, Niyi said he would like to consult some people first and he should be allowed to get in touch with his lawyer and agreed to get back to them. When they didn’t hear from him, Toyin tried reaching out to him personally to sort the issue but as we speak Toyin is yet to hear from him as well.”
The blog added that the former couple are “showing signs of reconciliation.”
In a new interview with BellaNaija, Ghanaian actor, Chris Attoh has admitted that his marriage to Nigerian actress, Damilola Adegbite has crashed after months of speculations and denials.
When asked how he and his ex-wife Damilola Adegbite balanced their marriage, son and work, he said:
“I believe throughout our marriage, It has probably been one of the most challenging things we have ever done, however, the key word is balance.
At times when we both had to work, our parents would be there to hold the fort. God bless family because they were and still are very supportive.
However, since the divorce, we are obviously now reworking things to create a new balance between work, spending time with and raising our son. Dami is a wonderful woman and an amazing mother. .
Despite our differences, she and I will always be friends. So more than anything, we will find ways to continue to make sure that Brian can still have a balanced upbringing filled with love and support. .
Both our families have been and are still very supportive in helping us take care of our son Brian when we can’t be there due to work.”
