There comes a time when a celebrity enjoys the limelight without doing any publicity. People like Toyin Aimakhu, Jim Iyke and many others have found themselves trending for different reasons.
For Yvonne Nelson, she is just tired of the many talks going on about her. In particular, she is begging those in Ghana to turn their attention to other public figures in the country because everything cannot be about her always.
She said:
“People are still concerned about who I’m hanging out with, what I’m wearing, where I’m sleeping, what I’m posting on Instagram, I don’t understand…We are many so can they also talk about other people? I’m just tired”
She admitted “I enjoyed it. I think it’s helped me whether negative or positive because it’s all part of the job. I love it. Sometimes I wake up and I don’t see anything about me and I’m like “I’m I safe? Is everything OK?”
Gene Wilder (real name Jerome Silberman) the star of the classic movie Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory passed on yesterday, August 28, 2016 from complications arising from Alzheimer’s disease at age 83.
His death was announced in a statement by his nephew that read, “It is with indescribable sadness and blues, but with spiritual gratitude for the life lived that I announce the passing of husband, parent, and universal artist Gene Wilder, at his home in Stamford, Connecticut. It is almost unbearable for us to contemplate our life without him.”
Gene Wilder made most of our childhoods (or young adulthood) memorable with his role in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. He also starred in other classics like The Producers and Young Frankenstein. He is survived by his fourth wife, Karen Boyer who he got married to in 1991 and his nephew.
The Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone 2 Command, Abdulmajid Ali, says the case of Joe Chinakwe, who named his dog Buhari, has no connection with President Muhammadu Buhari.
The AIG said the man named after his neighbour’s father and not the President.
He said Chinakwe was not arraigned for naming the dog Buhari, but for inscribing the name on both sides of the dog and parading it around the Ketere area of Sango Ota, in the Ado Odo Ota Local Government Area of Ogun State, adding that his behaviour was capable of causing a breach of the peace.
Chinakwe, who had been released on bail, was arraigned after his neighbour, Halilu Umar, whose late father bore Buhari, reported him to the police.
In a statement on Monday, by the zone 2 command spokesperson, SP Muyiwa Adejobi, the AIG, stated that the case was misconstrued as an attack on the President.
The statement read in part,
“The case has nothing to do with the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Mohammad Buhari, but with one Alhaji Buhari,the biological father of the complainant, Alhaji Halilu Umar.”
“It is fundamental to state that the man was not charged to court for christening his dog Buhari, but for the behaviour of the suspect and circumstances surrounding the matter when Mr. Joe (Chinakwe), who had been having conflicts with his neighbour,(complainant) named his dog Buhari, his neighbour’s father’s name, inscribed Buhari on both sides of the said dog, and started parading the dog with swagger among his neighbours and traders who are mostly northerners.”
Lovebirds Nollywood actress, aka Jenifa, Funke Akindele and singer and producer, Abdulrasheed Bello aka JJC Skillz wedded on the Thespian’s birthday which was Thursday in the UK with no family members in attendance.
Though a couple of the singer’s family members, including his daughter were said to have been there with only Funke’s sister standing in as family for her.
It is reported by Vanguard that Funke Akindele’s family and particularly her mother were strongly against her marriage to JJC, who, they believe has same profile as that of Funke’s first husband, Alhaji Kehinde Almaroof Oloyede.
Funke Akindele’s first husband, Alhaji Almaroof has several children from 3 – 4 women, just like her supposed current husband who is said to have three children from three women.
But the big question is, why the secrecy? Isn’t marriage a thing of joy to be celebrated openly? The answer may not be too far away to the contention that the Funke Akindele’s family are not in support of the marriage and the fact that no qualified family member had been around to properly give the actress away.

In what will come across as a really shocking development, a pastor has been said to have ‘married’ a woman and her daughter.
The pastor identified as one Timothy Ngwu, is currently facing the law over an allegation of misconduct.
Pastor Ngwu was on Monday docked at an Enugu North Magistrates’ Court for allegedly marrying another man’s wife and daughter.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, the pastor’s wife, Veronica Ngwu, was said to have petitioned the court over the development.
The victims whom Mr. Ngwu converted to his “wives” were said to be members of his church: Gods’ Favour Ministry, Nsukka.
One of the victims, Calista Omeye, however, told the court that her husband, Fidelis Omeye, had persuaded her to meet the pastor as he wanted her to do the will of God through the pastor.
“My husband was a member of the church and he introduced me to the church, because he said that the pastor had a revelation for me (Calista),” Mrs. Omeye said.
She said the revelation had to do with the will of God “but he later left the church but I refused to leave the church with him.
“I have 10 children for him and we were all members of the church before he quitted and I had a baby for the pastor but the baby died after some weeks,” she told the court.
She said that it was with her husband’s consent that their daughter was given to the pastor in marriage.
“It is not true that I gave out our daughter in marriage to the pastor without the consent of my husband, he was aware of everything,” she said.
Mr. Ngwu, who hailed from Ihe-Owerre, Nsukka, was absent from the court as he was said to be on admission at a hospital in Enugu.
The presiding magistrate, R.I. Oruruo, adjourned hearing in the matter to September 26.
Popular Zimbabwean pastor and man of God, Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa has claimed that he has spiritual powers to kill.
He made the revelation during his preaching at Judgment Night 4 dubbed ‘sentence’ held at Mount Hampden last week Friday claiming that Biblical prophets had the powers to kill and he has such powers as well.
H-metro revealed that he made the boast while narrating challenges he underwent from his birth.
“Our Judgment Nights are all about spiritual warfare and today we are here to sentence all evil spirits tormenting nations so as to receive their blessings,” said Prophet Makandiwa.
“Biblical prophets used to kill and I as well tell you that I have powers to kill those who try to disturb me in doing what God has anointed me to do. When criminals get their sentence they are kept in prisons to allow people to do their jobs peacefully and that is why we are here to ‘sentence’ all challenges affecting the lives for people to enjoy their freedom? Africa has resources and foreigners eye them daily and when missionaries came here preaching they wanted to see us dead and go to heaven quickly so that they enjoy what God has given us. They colonized Africa, a blessed nation where everything started and if you read the Bible well you will discover that Jesus was taken to Africa, Egypt when Herod sought to kill him.
“Geography, Mathematics you can name it, all started in Africa and those seeking wealth outside Africa are missing it and I strongly believe that our own currency is best… Colonizers do not sleep and this time they are using food to kill people and this is affecting Africa as they receive donations that are up to reducing their life time. Arise and shine and change your mindset and be masters not employees, open companies in regional countries as well. Believe that you can do it. I am here to sentence the devil that is failing you to achieve more, wake up join the fight and I promise you that we are winners.
“People perish die to lack of knowledge and our ancestors failed to discover natural resources in our Africa vachirasa ngoda, vachisvetuka goridhe. There are certain challenges dzinoda nharo saka ini nharo dzacho ndinadzo dzekurwisa kusvikira wabata zvakanzi naMawri uve nazvo. I will not leave people being tormented by evil spirits and fail to get wealthy here on earth. We must do awaywith poverty and change people’s minds that wealthy is for certain class of people.
“It is so disturbing to note that we have people who confess every sin daily assuming that it’s the reason they are failing to get wealthy. Vanhu vanoita zvakaipa zvikuru vane pfuma zhinji and those seeking God’s face must receive their blessing more. If you want to test how God blesses his people take it from me your leader and I am blessed to see you prospering,” prophet Makandiwa added.
Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa is a popular pastor in Zimbabwe and founder of the United Family International Church (Ufic).
Nollywood actress, Amanda Ebeye, is not new to controversies but this time, she is boiling hard and not happy with some parts of the media as a whole.
Amanda knowing how smart the media can be has for a long time tried avoiding granting interviews to print medium and will be ready to jump at the visual medium when she is being approached with the excuse that the print tends to temper with what she has said.
Well, the actress is currently not happy with viral reports that went rounds some weeks back that she was in love with an officer which is why she has been absent from the movie industry for a while and was trying to hide the relationship from her fans.
She could not hold back her anger as she decided to blow hot as she disclosed that negative things written about her is affecting her relationship with her man.
Amanda admitted that she is in a relationship but not with the said officer whom she met just once but with another man and the rumours have been affecting their love.
In her words, “It’s very pathetic how people can just seat down and cook up all sorts of things about someone. I don’t know this celeb police green news or whoever they are. That they know my family and how desperate I am. They even know my location, know my situation and know who I’m with. Wow.
You want stories on your blog so you don’t mind writing bull. I’m having issues in my relationship because you’re linking me to a man I met only once in my life, at an event. Please please please for the last time I have no business with this man. Please. I’m in a relationship; I’m not getting married now. When I’m ready you’ll definitely be invited. You say I’m hiding in Ghana and all sorts of things. Finally I’ll tell you to get your facts right before posting, because these horrible stories can be very hurtful. Thank you.”
I am done for, my boyfriend just told me this morning its over that his mother doesn’t want him to marry me, I think he’s mad, he must be after several abortions in fact he’s very stupid, what should I do? I’d rather kill myself or kill us both.
Its five years and he just realizes he doesn’t want to marry me, how can people be this callous, whenever I got pregnant he would cajole me to abort it, saying it wasn’t the right time and things were not great for him financially, I just did another abortion two months ago now he doesn’t want to marry me anymore, I feel used and suicidal, I won’t go silently.
So he has proven to us yet again that nothing is up with his Job at Cool FM – after sharing a video of himself going to “work” at Cool FM, the OAP has also shared a photo of himself with the man said to be behind his dismissal over the weekend, Mr. Amin Mousalli.
Foreign rapper, Tyga had a major performance at a club in Las Vegas over the weekend but his girlfriend, 19 year old Kylie Jenner was not there to cheer him up all thanks to her age.
According to reports, Kylie was banned from attending Tyga’s show at the Drai club in Las Vegas because she did not meet the club’s strict 21-and-over age limit.
The 19-year-old reality star was forced to stay in the couple’s hotel room while the rapper rocked the stage and performed his songs Hitmaker and Make It Nasty for the crowd.
Sadly, this won’t be the first time Kylie Jenner will be forced to miss out on Tyga’s show because of her age.
In 2014, Tyga had to cancel his appearance at a popular club in West Hollywood because the organisers refused to let Kylie, who was 17 then, into the club.
Also, Tyga was asked not to bring Kylie for a show at a university because the school was uncomfortable with their illegal relationship, plus the show was for 18-and-over.
However, Tyga blew them off and showed up with Kylie who ended up sitting backstage to watch the show. This year, he left her at their hotel room to perform because his career definitely needs all the boosting it can get.
A top official of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), has threatened to expose Samson Siasia, if he continues to castigate the football house.
The Nigerian coach who recently won bronze with Nigeria’s U-23 team at the 2016 Olympics, had said he is “done” working for Nigeria and will not take up another appointment because he doesn’t want to die young.
The coach revealed he has not been contacted by any staff of the Sports Ministry or Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), since he arrived from the Games.
“My next step is that I am done with Nigeria for now,” Siasia told Vanguard.
“You can’t keep going to a place where they don’t appreciate you. It does not worth it. Sometimes it is not about the money but the approach.
“They seem not to appreciate the sacrifices. I know how much I have sacrificed since the team began camping two years ago. How can you keep going to people who don’t appreciate you?
“It does not make sense, so I am done for now. I have to go somewhere else where they will appreciate what I have done and what I can do and pay me the respect that I deserve.”
In response, the unnamed official told OwnGoalNigeria.com:
“We have endured Siasia’s excesses, he knows we have our own side of the story he is telling to the press. He shouldn’t forget that our recent spate of failure to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations was started by him.
“He is an ingrate, we gave him the chance to relaunch himself with the U-23s but he showed us he is still the same person, we know how some players were selected both for the Super Eagles in the two games he handled and also for the U23s, he should just keep shut.
“We have facts to show he was involved in some dealings that led to our failures at tournaments; as a matter of fact, go and ask any board member, we received more petitions about Siasia than any other coach, he knows it.
“If he doesn’t keep shut, we will shame him and end his coaching career, a team that should have won gold, he selected players based on favoritism and he wants us to celebrate bronze with him; we are wiser than that.”

Her body weight transformation came as a surprise to everyone – Comedienne, Lepacious Bose has lost quite the ton of weight, and she just won’t stop gushing about it.
Obviously consumed by her size, she says she was very depressed and unhappy for a long time. She hated herself for being so big, and even at a point thought God hated her. Now she is rejoicing for being “delivered from fat“…
What she wrote below:
“Once upon a time, there lived a lonely sad princess hidden in a big bag! The bag was pretty and colourful but the little girl desperately wanted to come out and play.
You see Everytime she tried to come out and play the bag would always be an hindrance and this made her so sad. Eventually she stopped trying and accepted her fate, the bag was happy she gave up and just grew bigger! The little girl named the bag BIG BOLD AND SASSY!
Then one day, she realised she could fight against this sassy big bag and win, so she started the fight with all her strength, the bag was much bigger and stronger but this girl was now angry and more determined than ever…… O thou my Big, Bold and Sazzy bag, you were once a master to a kind spirited and lovely girl. You ruled and controlled every bit of me mercilessly, but today, the hunter has become the hunted.
Your Kingdom has been shattered, your staff of office seized, you had me chained and imprisoned in my own dungeon of fear, terror, self condemnation and lack of confidence. Today, the little girl has sprang forth, blooming like the sun flower, shinning like a star, yet striking like the lighting. Most importantly, Big, Bold and Sazzy has been humbled; and in its place SLIM, BOLD,BEAUTIFUL AND SASSY evolved.”
This past Sunday, some members of the APC in Ondo, sealed off the APC secretariat with some fetish items that had everyone running scared.
The Deji of Akure, Oba Ogunlade Aladetoyinbo Aladelusi, Odundun II, has reacted to the action, calling it an abomination.
Speaking through his Chief Press Secretary, Adeyeye Michael, the Deji expressed outrage and distanced the Palace from what he called “the sacrilegious‘ act, calling on authorities to investigate the abomination.
The press statement can be read below:
PRESS RELEASE ON THE TRADITIONAL SEAL ON APC SECRETARIAT
The attention of the Palace of His Royal Majesty, Oba Ogunlade Aladetoyinbo Aladelusi, Odundun II, the Deji and Paramount Ruler of Akure, has been drawn to the sacrilegious act carried out at the Ondo State Secretariat of the All Progressive Congress early this morning.
The palace condemns the attitude of some miscreants who went and sealed the entrance of the party secretariat with the traditional palm fronds which is the traditional means of sealing off premises in Akureland.
We want to state that carrying out traditional sealing-off of premises remains the prerogative of the Palace.
The Deji of Akure remains non-partisan and a father to all political aspirants and never authorized such.
Oba Ogunlade frowns at this attitude and wishes to inform the general public that such act did not emanate from the palace.We wish to inform you that any attempt to desecrate the tradition will be vehemently rebuffed.
It is certain that those who carried out this condemnable act are not aware of the cultural and traditional implications of this action.
The palace is a-political and therefore should not be dragged into the internal wrangling of any party.
The Palace has sent its emissaries to carry out a thorough investigation of the matter and we are confident that the culprits will be apprehended in no distant time.
We call on the APC party executives to unravel the circumstances behind this abominable act.
We equally call on security agencies to investigate and bring to book those behind the sacrilegious act so as to serve as deterrent to would-be persons.
We want to state without mincing words that the palace has nothing to do with and equally condemns it in its entirety.
Chaos brewed outside the Bethsaida church, Dandora, after two pastors descended on a woman, beat her to a pulp and used their teeth to design her body while at it – her offence? She refused to join their church in Nairobi County of Kenya.
Nairobi News reports that the woman identified as Ms Christine Mueni, claimed that Pastors Timothy Migwi and Maxwell Omari, ganged up with her husband George Makori and ruthlessly attacked her outside Bethsaida Church, in Dandora on August 24.
Not only that, the woman alleged that the two pastors bit her on the stomach while the husband punched and kicked her. She revealed that they attacked her for refusing to join their church.
“When I said I didn’t want to join the church, my husband punched and kicked me while the pastors bit me,” Ms Mueni was quoted by NairobiNews.
Speaking on his part, the husband who has since been locked up with the two pastors at Kinyago Police post in Dandora, denied the claims and said his wife of seven years had stabbed him twice on the right arm.
“We have been having arguments. She threatened to kill me on Wednesday morning and went ahead to stab me,” said Makori.
Mr Samuel Mbatia, a bishop at Bethsaida church who is also the couple’s landlord, said that he sent the two pastors to help Mr Makori who had raised an alarm that he had been attacked by the wife, The Kenyans reported.
“I sent them to help him because he said he was dying. The pastors took him to hospital,” Bishop Mbatia said.
The bishop said he was surprised after the wife accused the pastors of biting her.
TV station, AIT’s Staff and presenter of ‘Focus Nigeria‘, Gbenga Aruleba, yesterday, August 28, lost his last daughter, Rereoluwa Aruleba.
The teenager, Rere, as her distraught father fondly calls her passed away from an undisclosed ailment just a few hours after her 13th birthday.
She turned 13 years on Saturday, August 27th.
The father and daughter became an internet sensation last year when photos of him blow drying her hair surfaced online. Gbenga’s Facebook wall has been flooded with commiserations since he announced her death last yesterday.
Below is how broadcaster Lara Wise, who on Saturday reached out to Stella Oduah over the death her son, described the tragic event.
Dear friends,
At a few minutes past 4 am yesterday, I got a frantic call from my dear brother and friend, Gbenga Aruleba …
….. Terrible…
Less than 7 hours after I reached out to Mrs Stella Oduah over the loss of her son, my friend called… Terrible… Terrible… Terrible…
And so began a long and torturous journey for the Arulebas. A journey I took four years ago….
Had to fly into lagos on the next available flight to be with the family.
I was very worried because, Rereloluwa shared an uncommon bond with her parents, especially her father. What some people will refer to as favourite child.
We called her his girlfriend. As far as we were concerned, Mummy Tobi is the older wife while ‘Rerestic’ was the second.
She it was who would call to ask if daddy had eaten.
She it was who always made Gbenga break out in uncontrolled laughter.
She would buzz her dad, he would call her back and she would go “daddy, did you flash me?” and Gbenga would burst out laughing, saying, ” Can you imagine Rere? “.
Rere would call her dad to report ” wife number one” that she wasn’t given noodles.
Rere it was who would take over her dad’s bed, displacing “wife number one” anytime her dad was around.
Gbenga called her his guardian Angel, and, oh she was
Overly playful.
Infectious smile
Deep laughter
Lover of babies
Active in Sunday school class
Rere was not an ordinary child… She was just 13 and she passed on a few hours after her 13th birthday…. She wasn’t an ordinary child.
Friends, please help me pray for Gbenga Aruleba and his wife, Oluwatobi Aruleba, Oluwaju Aruleba, all the family, friends that were privileged the be a part of this ANGEL.
They are all in a terrible state, naturally, but God’s Grace and Comfort are only available when and where needed… They are needed now.
Rest well Rerebaby.
Uncommon kids like you are not born all the time… You are rare. .. I was also privileged to birth, nurse and release one at 13 as well!!!!
Good night, Good girl.
May God Almighty still the hands of the death over our children..
Nobody deserves to go through this..
