Remember woman who went viral for going all natural on her wedding day?
Well, it has been discovered that Bisola Umoren is not just a Nigerian, but a Lagos State born bride who shook social media with her daring no-make-up wedding looks.
Speaking on the reasons for her decision, she said:
“When my husband first met me, I had not had my bath, but he saw and fell in love with my natural look. My hair was due, my face looked way older, I was even tying nylon on my hair when he came to me on that fateful morning, yet he loved what he saw. So, who am I supposed to be making all that up for on my wedding day?
So, that was it. I think God just decided to crown me with early morning beauty the day I wedded.
Interestingly, the photographer and the make-up person, were insisting that I should touch up my face a little but I blatantly refused. In the process, a marriage committee member overheard us and warned that make-up is not allowed inside the Church; Christ Apostolic Church, Surulere.Secondly, For a good start, I’m not the make-up type. I don’t even wear ear-rings or like to drop my hair. I don’t like any form of inconvenience or discomfort on my face, my neck and entire body.
It is not a church thing, it is just me and my personal decision. I can do makeup if I want to. In fact, during my engagement in April, I was so pressured to have makeup on. They convinced me that it was going to be nude. I agreed and went for it. Lo and behold, when they were done, I hated myself because I looked so unlike my usual self. I looked darker and older. The whole engagement pictures were nothing to write home about.”
On why people concluded that she is Ghanaian:
“Well, I can’t really say. My Facebook page has people around the world visiting and reading my stories. I guess one particular Ghanaian guy, picked it up also and posted on his twitter page, asking if ladies can actually do what I did by wearing a natural look on a wedding day.
His post also went viral and I guess, that was where bloggers picked it from and assumed that I am a Ghanaian. It was very controversial as I kept receiving all kinds of calls, some condemning me, some applauding, some questioning, I was just pissed at a point.”
Her love story:
We met last year, December 16, 2015 after I was robbed besides Abiola Garden, Lagos at about 9am.
The robbery was a horrible experience; I lost my Blackberry phone, tab and some money. Thankfully, I wasn’t raped but sustained minor injuries. A close friend then volunteered to come help me massage my leg when he heard what happened to me.
When he was coming that morning, he came with his long time friend (who is now my husband). When I first saw them, I almost refused to open the door, because it was quite early and I wasn’t expecting two visitors (one stranger at that time).
Well, I later had to open the door and that was it. After the first visit, he (my husband), came back alone on December 26, to see me and that was how our relationship started.
Few weeks later, he proposed because he was scared that if he wasted more time, another man would take over. (laughs).
We had our court registry in February 2016, barely three months after we met.
First attraction:
“Well, I like his height. I am not on the tall side, so he compliments me. I like tall guys; nothing less than 6 ft. He is also chubby. He is very caring. He showered me with his love and care that I had no choice but to succumb. But his tribe was almost a barrier for us; he is from Akwa-Ibom while I’m from Lagos State.”

“Feeling all fly and enjoying my life then one of my daughters sends me a bbm saying “…so that’s how my daddy started modelling in his 50s, the end” The question now is ‘Is modelling my next big thing?’ Give me a moment to process the thought-lol #proudfather #actor #workingactor Can I hashtag model?

For Award-winning Nollywood Actress, Director and Producer, and mother of three, Omoni Oboli, life hasn’t been quite the fairytale people propose it to be, as she almost packed her bags when she returned to Nollywood years ago.
Omoni decided to take a break from acting in 1996 to complete her studies – she give birth to three boys before she returned to Nollywood in 2009 only to see there was practically no place for her in the industry.
The delectable actress had to show doggedness and resilience in a bid to show the industry that quitting is not on the menu for her
‘’ I did Figurine and Anchor Baby shortly after I came back, the two movies made weighty impacts in the then returning cinema culture’’ Omoni recounts.
In spite of the fact that she was making a re-entry into the industry, she turned down scripts that didn’t align with her ideals,
‘’I decided to take the more difficult but surer route to where I wanted, which is the route of ‘only good quality jobs’. I decided with my husband and team then that if the movie production did not spark my interest in terms of a good storyline and high production value, I won’t do it.
It cost me a lot as I wasn’t doing as many jobs as many of my colleagues then. Often, even when the money offered was very attractive, I turned down roles because the movie production was not what I wanted’’.
The top notch actress whose last three movies, Being Mrs Elliot, The First Lady and Wives on Strike, have made box office hits with the last one becoming the third highest grossing Nollywood movie of all time at the cinema now has a new work on the horizon titled, Okafor’s Law.
Okafor’s Law, though yet-to-be-released recently got nominated at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), one of the top 5 film festivals in the world.
Speaking on the nomination, the delectable actress said:
“The selection of Okafor’s Law, which is my most ambitious movie ever as an actress, producer and director, at TIFF makes me emotional and nostalgic. I remember the many nights and days of sacrifices, going the extra mile and not getting enough credit. The TIFF selection is a form of validation for my work and I am grateful to God’’.
The actress went on to thank the cast and crew of Okafor’s Law and with an emotion-laden show of gratitude, she said:
“I say a huge thank you to the entire cast and crew of Okafor’s Law. Words fail me in this moment, but I deeply appreciate all of them for giving me their best so that this movie turned out the way it is. If I have another chance to do this again, I will certainly do it again with this cast and crew’’.
The man who named his dog ‘Buhari’ Mr. Joachim Iroko, also known as Joe, has perfected his bail and he has been released.
This is after he had spent three days in Ibara Prisons, Abeokuta. He was granted bail on Monday at Ota Magistrate Court 2, at about 10am.
The accused was said to have been released around 10am, when a reproduction warrant was brought to the prison officials at Ibara Prisons.

Prominent Prophet Ochi-eze Princewill Iheme has stated that the only solution to all Nigerian problems is to elect Igbo president.
The man of God made this known in an exclusive statement for NAIJ.com. This came as Biafra movement and Niger Delta militants are demanding to organize referendum for Nigeria’s restructuring.
Prophet Iheme said:
“Restructuring is not the solution to end Nigeria problems. The problems in Nigeria are ethnic hatred, hatred between Christians and Muslims, wicked leaders.
“Restructuring is political ideology to win 2019 election. Just like 2015 APC change ideology. “Ethnic hatred caused Biafra agitators, Niger Delta Avengers, Fulani herdsmen attack. Religion hatred caused Boko Haram insurgency; killing of Christians in the North.
“Wicked leaders caused the bad economy in Nigeria. Peace is the only thing that will solve Nigeria problems.
“Only an Igbo president will bring peace, unity, good economy in Nigeria. Nigerians should hand over power to Igbo tribe.”
Since the arrest of the pro-Biafra leader Nnamdi Kanu a protest movement has sprung up in Nigeria, with thousands of people identifying as Biafrans calling for the separation of some south states from Nigeria.
The rise in tensions between pro-Biafra agitators and the Nigerian authorities comes at a time when Nigeria is grappling with serious challenges.
Niger Delta militants recently declare their support for Mr Kanu and also call for the referendum to decide the fate of Nigeria.
The deadly Boko Haram sect killed and kidnapped people on the north of the country.
Comedian, Bovi and On Air Personality, Daddy Freeze, are certainly not best of friends in the entertainment scene – one should recall that last year, during the elections period, the both of them had some sorta tiff which later died down.

A top Chieftain of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC), in Lagos State, Ganiyu Quadri, has reiterated that his party is doing everything possible to place the agro-business scheme run by the State government in Kebbi State on a high end, so that the cost of rice will drop to a mere N9,000 by December, from the present price of between N18,500 and N20,000.
Quadri, who is the Chairman of Alimosho Local Government Area in the state, made this bold declaration while receiving a delegation of Rotary Club of Akowonjo 9110, led by its District-Governor, Patrick Ikheloa, and President, Shola Abidakun, stressing that the APC administration in Lagos swung into agro-business to ensure food security for its people.
“By the end of this year, or first quarter next year, things will change in Lagos. Already, we are into agro-business in Kebbi State. We have massive land on which we planted grains, among which is rice, our people’s staple food. And it is expected that the truckloads of rice will storm Lagos soon.”
“So, I can assure you that before the end of this year, the price of a bag of rice, which is N18,000, will drop to N9,000.”
The Lagos State Police Command on Wednesday paraded a self-confessed leader of the Eiye Confraternity, Ibrahim Balogun, aka Small Jpron, for allegedly killing five persons during different cult wars, including organising a gang which set a house ablaze in January 2016 on Oshinfolarin Street, Bariga, during which a 65-year-old woman, Adejoke Adefuye, was burnt to death.
Punch gathered that Small Jpron was arrested after some suspected cultists attacked the area on Saturday and the suspect came out with his boys for a reprisal.
Small Jpron allegedly organised a gang which set a house ablaze in January 2016 on Oshinfolarin Street, Bariga, during which a 65-year-old woman, Adejoke Adefuye, was burnt to death.
A police source revealed that Small Jpron had been declared wanted for five murder cases in the Somolu and Bariga areas in 2016.
Speaking while being paraded at the command headquarters, Ikeja, on Wednesday, the suspect said he joined the cult to avenge the murder of his friend in 2009 by suspected Aye Confraternity members.
He said,
“I am an Eiye cult leader. I joined the cult in 2009. The reason for my joining was to avenge the death of a close friend, Sunday Folorunsho, aka Small Biscuits.
“It was the Aye cult members who killed him. So, the Eiye faction approached me and said I should join them and they would help me fish out the people who killed my friend. I had a lot of boys working for me. I have killed three persons among whom were Femi Wiper and Lekan Akon.
“I cut them with knives. I shot some other victims. They were killed in the Somolu and Bariga areas. It was in the evening that Femi Wiper was killed. We were going out for a carnival during the Easter period on Alade Street in the Somolu area when a fight broke out. He was the one who first pointed a gun at me and my boys hacked him to death.”
The state Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, said Small Jpron had been declared wanted by the police for multiple cases of murder. He added that the suspect was an ex-convict.
He said,
“Earlier this year, there were major cult clashes, where criminal elements in the Somolu and Bariga areas engaged one another in a war of supremacy culminating in the deaths of some persons.
“The gang, led by Small Jpron, also set ablaze a house in the Pedro area in which an elderly woman was burnt to death. The suspect was the one who led the cult gang war. He is a known criminal in the Somolu area.
“He has multiple cases of murder and armed robbery which he has confessed to. Through him, we will look for other members of the gang who turned Pedro and Somolu areas into theatres of war.”

I first heard the name Rashidi Yekini when I barely knew how to scrub myself in the bathroom.
Few years down the line, I knew him as the first Nigerian footballer to score Nigeria’s first goal at the World Cup in 1993. He went on to score 37 goals in his 24-year career as a Nigerian International.
The international star passed on in 2012, suffering from bipolar disorder, depression and some other undisclosed psychiatric condition. He left behind an aged mother who had nothing to live on despite her late son’s success.
Recently, the Senate President Nigeria extended a helping hand to the star’s mother. He rehabilitated her living conditions and almost failing petty business. Truly if each one can reach one, then each one can change one. Check out the before and after pictures:
