“Why Olajumoke Should Be Careful With Her Overexposure” – Charles Novia writes
Nollywood Director and Popular critic – Charles Novia has something to say on the whole Jumoke’s Fame Brouhaha. He penned down an interesting article on his website titled: OLAJUMOKE’S UNLEAVENED BREAD AND THE OVEN OF OPPORTUNISTS
I have written glowingly about the Olajumoke duckling-to-swan story a few days back on my facebook page and praised those whose hands were compelled by the benevolence of fate to change her life.
However, I’m a bit uncomfortable with the overexposure of the young lady to the media. That’s just me but from experience it may have unpleasant consequences if it it not well-managed.
I agree that she should enjoy her newfound fame within the ambits of the international attention she’s receiving presently but I can’t help thinking too that she’s walking into a treacherous terrain with much of that overexposure.
Questions to be asked are: who is her manager? Does she have one and is she being psychologically preened for the after effects of this exposure?
What’s her state of mind in the midst of this euphoria? Given that she has been ducked into a somewhat positive maelstrom of media machineries, is she being prepared for when a time would come when she might not be the flavour of the moment?
Because I think she’s trending right now as a distraction to the realities we face in the socio-economic sector.
Nigerians need something positive for once to make them forget the harsh realities of the drudgery of our individual existentialism in the present scheme of things. And Olajumoke is the perfect and beautiful distraction.
But we are going to be bored very soon. And when that happens, who will cushion her expectations when things slow down? A modeling agency is just an agency and not a management agency. Who would manage her realities?
Yes, we have all bought her bread ( pun not intended) and eaten slices off her loaf of inspiration.
But wherein she was a slice of life a few days ago as a nondescript trudger of the survival path, we all are now partakers in the breaking of her whole loaf.
Olajumoke has to be careful. She has a family. She has a husband. From empirical antecedents, the marriage is usually the first casualty of this kind of invasion of privacy. It happens all the time.
If the young lady loved her husband as a bread seller, she should be encouraged to strengthen that love now that she’s literally a bread bringer to the home. Because she would soon start mixing with the hawkish lot who would soon start whispering serpentine advice into her ears.
It happens all the time. Beyond the media glare would be a fundamental introspection of her future with the spouse.
And that’s where the crunch lies.
The media is all pleasant and powerful when it comes to pushing the Olajumokes of this world to new heights. But the media gives with one hand and takes with the other.
My suggestivism does not in any pre-suppose an impending doom but alerts on an intending loom.
The live of the Bread Seller is presently brought to us closer through a whimsical telescope. It won’t be long before the want of more sensationalism would put her life under a selfish microscope.
Stories would soon be cooked up or exaggerated about her, just to suit the media.
It happens all the time.
That’s why she must be the person at this point in her life to take charge of her narrative.
She must hold on the yeast of her future while we munch on the dough.
Her life was unleavened just a few weeks ago.

Drama as Mother of Three Vomits Cocaine at Abuja Airport
A 48-year-old mother of three Saidat Hassan today reportedly vomited 15 wraps of cocaine at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport in Abuja.
Vanguard reports that this happened during screening at the departure hall as officers checked passengers boarding an Egypt Airline flight to Jedda, Saudi Arabia en-route Cairo.
Speaking with the press, the commander of National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in Abuja, Hamisu Lawan said that the agency made efforts to prevent any harm coming to the mother after screening showed she had swallowed 80 wraps of cocaine. “As soon as we discovered that the wraps she vomited tested positive for cocaine, we took measures to ensure her safety by preventing any harm that may result from drug ingestion,” Lawan said, explaining measures they took to avoid any of the wraps from bursting in her stomach. “She excreted sixty-five (65) similar wraps. In all, she ingested 80 wraps of cocaine weighing 904 grammes; her case is under investigation.”
Retired Col. Mohammad Abdallah, the Chairman/Chief Executive of NDLEA, confirmed that she has been arrested. “This is gross ineptitude on the part of a mother saddled with the responsibility of nurturing her children into future leaders,” he said. “I am glad that she did not die from drug ingestion to face trial. Besides escaping the risk of swallowing cocaine, this arrest also saved her because drug trafficking in Saudi Arabia is punishable by death.
“She will soon be charged to court because the law must run its full course,” Rtd. Col Abdallah continued, “I expect the general public to learn lessons from this case that drug trafficking leads to pain, ignominy and untimely death.
My approach to drug control is both pragmatic and scientific. Every action taken must be based on best global principles; while lessons learnt will influence our implementation strategies in our day to day operations.”
During question, Saidat Hassan said she resides in Lagos Island and deals on clothing materials. “I am a business woman and I sell women clothes at Balogun market,” she said, “I used to buy my goods from Ghana. I was introduced into the drug business by a friend and business partner. The drug was brought from Abidjan, Ivory Coast and we were to share the proceeds equally.”
Ms Hassan also said she didn’t know of the death penalty law guiding Saudi Arabia. “I never knew that the cocaine I ingested would have led to my death in Saudi Arabia. I thank God for keeping me alive.”
Ms Hassan will be charged to court.
President Obama Recites Love Poem to Michelle on Ellen DeGeneres show
It is no news that the President of United States Barack Obama and his wife Michelle are one of the cutest political couples in the world.
Even though they have been married for 23 years, President Obama still has a lot of game when it comes to romantic gestures.
The 54-year-old father of two was a guest on The Ellen DeGeneres Show earlier today and because he will be spending another Valentine’s Day apart from his wife, he decided to read a poem to the love of his life on international TV.
Ellen set the stage for Obama as he stood in front of a red curtain surrounded by bouquets of red roses and white lilies as Barry White-style music played in the background. “Somebody call the Situation Room because things are about to get hot,” he said smiling.
He then began: “Michelle, this Valentine’s Day I’m going to treat you right. I’m going to make you some zucchini bread. Then I’ll spread out some veggies on a plate just the way you like them.” He then added: “Then I’ll give you a massage while you watch ‘Ellen’s Design Challenge’ on HGTV. Because I love you so much, I Obamacare about you more than you even know.”
On a more serious note, the U.S president stated that the best decision he had ever made was choosing Michelle to be his wife. ”Thanks for putting up with me. I love you,” he said.
Michelle in return surprised her husband earlier in the broadcast by popping up on tape to recite her own poem.
“Roses are red, violets are blue, you are the president and I am your boo,” she said.
This Sunday will be Obama and Michelle’s final Valentine’s Day as president and first lady of the United States.

It’s the Flygerian, going H.A.M with the hustle
Run up on the Mode and pull a hamstring muscle
If you got an old bone to pick, bury the fossil
Or else, it’s gonna be a one-sided tussle
You can tango, I’m all about the cash, Kurt Russell
Up front payment, money in the duffle, bag
But over here, they desecrating the art form
Lying to themselves like, Mode too hard for ’em
I raise the bar, you finishing where I start from
You far from a beast on the mic, you need a stronger grip
I got no endorsement, no sponsorship
They want a song about a silly dance, a monster hit
I ain’t got that, but I got bars to make you back flip
Put the beat in a casket, when the Polymath spit
My peers pull me down, it’s like I’m rapping from a crab’s pit
All I’m trying to do is fill my bread basket

Girl Hangs Herself After Boyfriend Dumps Her Via Text. (Photos)
An educationist’s daughter was discovered hanged in a field close to the home of a boyfriend who had just broken up with her by text in a row over 21st birthday gifts.
Nina Paunova, a fashion student known as the ‘Beauty of Beverley’, had also cut her wrists at a secluded spot before she died on September 8 last year.
Her boyfriend, Mr Scott, dumped her by text when he was forwarded Nina’s messages claiming she would ‘ditch him‘ after he spent £2,000 on gifts for her 21st birthday.
He said he had already spent £10,000 on jewellery and clothing, £4,500 on trips to London and Paris and at least £2,000 on holidays to Croatia and Menorca.
But he ended the relationship when he was sent Nina’s texts to her friend Elizabeth Gough, via Miss Gough’s boyfriend.
The messages said:
‘I told you what my plan is. Straight after my 21st and after he has spent £1,000 to £2,000 I’m gone. After all the s*** I’ve put up with. I will literally take my presents and the week after my 21st end it and delete him.’
In the hours before her death Miss Paunova, who was ‘obsessed with social media’, drove to her ex-boyfriend’s house to confront him but was refused entry and threatened to kill herself.
She then drove her car through a hedge at more than 60mph in a nearby field and hanged herself after cutting her wrists.
Her parents warned her not to get back together with her boyfriend Sam after a two month break but they had rekindled their relationship and were going on holiday three days after her death.
The student had sent a text to her mother Niviana before she killed herself which included the words: ‘I guess I should have listened sooner.’
Her father, Vesselin, a professor of chemistry at the University of Hull, said Mr Scott, who is from a ‘wealthy family‘ in the East Riding, spent large amounts of money on his daughter.
He said:
‘She seemed almost obsessed, but totally in love with Sam. In their second year together, Nina said Sam had changed. He became different and Nina said Sam would want her to pay her way more but still live the expensive lifestyle and she struggled. ‘In May 2015 they separated and Nina was very upset. After some time, Sam started to contact her about starting up the relationship again, and they got back together against my advice.

Top Nigerian Celebrity Weddings That Took Place Outside Nigeria. (Photos)
Because it’s culture, because it’s tradition, they have the traditional wedding here in the country, in the homeland of the bride to be precise but when it comes to the white weddings, it’s most of the time taken out of the country.
Weddings like these though, actually become the talk of the town, as it’s being carried on so many blogs, social media outlets and more but it’s only the Creme de la creme that actually attend the wedding cause it’s being done abroad (where the wedding is holding).
This brings us to why YBL has compiled this list of Nigerian celebrities who had their weddings outside the country. While some of you may feel it’s unethical and not patriotic, some of y’all may think it’s actually cool cause of the environment and all…
As it’s a day to Valentine’s eve and we smell love everywhere, how about you feel the love in the next few pages of this post and at the end of it, drop your controversial comments… Okay?

Why Jumoke Orisagun and Her Husband Were Not Living Together (New Photo)
A new picture of Bread seller turned model, Olajumoke Orisaguna and her husband has now surface online.
Before her miraculous and inspiring bread seller cum model story, Jumoke was residing in Lagos with their two kids while her hubby was based in Osun…all in a bid to make ends meet.
Some people have been mocking the husband and calling him all sorts while some are wondering how he would handle Jumoke’s new fame.
Well, Thisday style magazine editor, Azuka has this to say about the whole brouhaha.
I’d learnt that anything you d for the praise of self will most likely fail, and it explains why I advise that we should only trust God for divine elevation. And even when avid fame hunters go after it in the forest with a torchlight and a cutlass, they’re always brought to the realisation that except God builds, the builders labour is in vain.
I don’t like to involve in social media wars or crossfire, but I almost did last night on Facebook when a lady started raining curses on Olajumoke’s husband. l’ve been reading and seeing so many nasty comments that he appeared after her story went viral. When will people stop hastily concluding about other people’s lives?
The Olajumoke l saw the first day while Ty Bello shot Tinie Tempah didn’t look like that to me. She had a calm smile and a happy look even if l don’t know what was running through her mind.
Whilst thanking you all for sharing the riveting story of a young lady who trekked from the lowly street hawking of agege bread to the exalted cover of Thisday Style- you’d agree with me, it can only be God!But as the enchanting story begins to travel at the speed of light, a growing concern stems from a widely held but erroneous view about Jumoke’s nuclear family make-up, in particular, the reputation of her husband.
For the information of all who should know, Jumoke and her husband just sought fortune from different lands, they never had a fractured marriage.
They needed to be on the street of ‘Hustle n Bustle’ so they decided to till different grounds- one in Osun, the other in Lagos.It was misconceived that Jumoke’s husband resurfaced finally when fortune has finally beckoned- this is cruel.
The young couple have everything but money and formal education and this is where they need our love.
They’re nowhere near where fate is taking them, so it will be grossly unkind to stir controversies to distract them.
This family needs your love, prayers and support and if you can’t afford it, at least don’t hurt them by spreading lies or cursing the husband.
God bless us all and may our steps lead us to where we will find divine Favor and divine elevation.

Amanda Makusaha, a Zimbabwean woman (Pictured above) was shamed after she stole her friend’s money and hid it in her vagina. Doctors had to bring out the money which had already gone into her uterus.
According to Zim HMetro, Makusha who is from Mkoba region, was riding with her friend, Rachael Nyanyiwa, when she stylishly stole $40 from her bag and hid it in her private parts.
Below is what the site wrote about the theft:
“Makusha was given a lift by Nyanyiwa from town to Mkoba. On their way, Nyanyiwa was stopped by the police and they asked to see her fire extinguisher.
She was forced to get out of the car and show police the fire extinguisher which was in the boot.
The two proceeded with their journey and on the way, Nyanyiwa detoured to the service station for a fuel top-up.
She asked Makusha to give her a bag which was next to her as it contained the money she wanted to use. When she got the bag, she found the zip open, and the money was nowhere to be found.
She asked Makusha if she had taken the money and she professed ignorance. Nyanyiwa did not believe Makusha and she drove straight to the police station and reported the matter.
Makusha was questioned by the police and she denied stealing the money. She was also searched by female officers, and even stripped naked and nothing was found on her. The police then referred Nyanyiwa for an extensive search by a doctor.
Left with nowhere to check, the doctor decided to check her ‘private pocket’ and the rolled $10 notes were recovered. She had pushed the money deep into her private parts and the doctor had to dip his fingers to retrieve the money.”

“He Was a Bit Rude” – Tiwa Savage recalls when she first met TeeBillz
In an exclusive and special one-on-one interview with the Queen of Mavin Records, Tiwa Savage spoke at great length on her music, career, motherhood and fame.
During the interview with pulse, Tiwa Savage, 36, spoke about the first time she met her manager/hubby Tee Billz (Tunji Balogun).
Narrating her encounter with him she confessed that she thought he was a bit rude when she first had a meeting with him.
It was a few years ago in Los Angeles during a Timaya concert that Tiwa Savage met Tee Billz. Prior to that she had sent him e-mails of her music but Tee Billz who was managing Sinzu (Sauce Kid) at the time did not reply. “I sent him my music and he didn’t listen to it” said Tiwa Savage.
When Tiwa Savage saw him, she boldly went up to him and asked why he didn’t respond her mails.
After talking at the concert, the future lovers met the next day and Tiwa Savage played her CD for him. He told her to move to Nigeria but she was skeptical at first.
Tee Billz also bluntly told Tiwa Savage who was a tom-boy at that time to lose weight, wax her eyebrows, and use make-up.
“I thought he was a bit rude” said Tiwa Savage when Tee Billz told her to change her image. She didn’t call Tee Billz for a long time until one day she reached out to him for management.
