Victor Udochukwu Nwaogu is a TV presenter, voice-over artiste and an actor. Nwaogu, who is fond of referring to himself as a ‘little person’, has been in the industry for more than a decade.
He describes his passion for entertainment as overpowering and does not wish he was in any other field.
“The passion is overwhelming; it is beyond seeing actors but getting to learn how the industry plays out. For me there is no better industry I would have been. Even if I was not an actor, I would still have been in the entertainment industry,” he said.
According to Nwaogu, he feels that his height prevents him from accessing big roles as most movies revolve around people of average height.
He said, “If you look around you, society is made up of people of average height, so it will be very difficult for a writer to pick up a pen and start putting down stories that are related to little people like us.”
On his relationship, Nwaogu admitted having had his fair share of heartbreaks. He also told Sunday Scoop how his would be in-laws denied him a wife because of his height.
“I have had my fair share of challenges when it comes to relationships but it is still a normal thing. My last relationship ended because of my height. The problem was not her but her parents. I wanted to take our relationship to the next level. She informed her parents and that was when things started to fall apart. The parents said they wouldn’t assent to it and because my ex is someone who likes to obey her parents, she called off the relationship.”
When asked if he has found any special person, he replied, “It is not about finding a woman; it is about finding a woman that will accept this body, especially in this part of the world.”

Pictures might not be suitable for some users..So, if you’re prone to the sight of snakes…Don’t Continue….
Snakes are wonderful creatures. On the one hand, they are beautiful and mysterious; on the other hand, they are insidious and dangerous.
They excite people for centuries, but it’s better to know some of them from afar.
1. Rattlesnake
Rattlesnake is a venomous snake of the genera Crotalus. The name comes from threatening predators with the loud shaking of the titular noisemaker (“rattle”) at the end of its tail.
It attacks in a tenth of a second. Rattlesnakes are native to Southeast Asia and America.
2. Black Mamba
Black mamba is a venomous snake that is popular in Africa. It has got such name because of the black mouth interior. It can move at a speed of 25 kmph and bite its target in a flash.
3. Blue Krait
Blue Krait is a species of venomous snake of the genus Bungarus. It can be found in the jungles of the Indian subcontinent, South of China and Burma. Blue Krait prefers to stay in the water and stick to nocturnal life. This snake is quite shy and has an unusual habit of covering its head by the tail.
Nollywood actress Funke Akindele has confirmed that she’s married to Abdulrasheed Bello aka JJC Skillz.
According to some guests at the “Love Lagos Weekend” event hosted by the Lagos state government in London, Funke introduced herself to the crowd as “Olufunke Akindele Bello”.
Love Lagos Weekend event is geared towards selling the state and uniting lovers of Lagos in the Diaspora.
Nollywood star Mercy Johnson has declared that her family and marriage are more important than her acting career.
The actress revealed this in a recent interview:
“I had planned my life right from when I was growing up. I arranged my life the way I wanted it to go. And that is why even when I was at the peak of my career and marriage came, I grabbed it because I know age keeps going and time waits for no one.
“It means that I can have all of my four kids and then still get back to shape and come back to what I love to do. So I am not going to say things like, ‘I don’t want to have kids yet’ or ‘I am not going to get married and I want to keep acting because the young shall always grow’, you are not going to be number one forever. That is why when it is time for you to do something, you do it. Yoruba will always say in their prayers that when the time for a child to talk has come, by the grace of God, she will talk. When it’s time to go to school, he will go to school. That’s what I’m trying to do. I want to define my life in a way my daughter will want to define her own life,” she said.
She further explained
“I think what has got me this far is placing my decisions on a scale of preference. I love what I do, I adore my husband, I adore my kids, so every time I have to make a decision, I pick which is more important, and I start from there. I understand the home front is more important so I manage my home and create time to do what I have to do. I think that has helped me get this far,”
Mary Remmy-Njoku, the CEO of Roc Nation and wife of Jason Njoku, the founder of IROKO TV, says there are a lot of things she wants to change in Nollywood, noting that the industry is always fast to forget people.
She also says although she has worked with several actors and actresses, she would love to work with the likes of Genevieve and Omotola but she just can’t afford to pay them yet.
Speaking on forgetting stars in Nollywood to Punch, she said “Nollywood knows how to forget people.
“I don’t know if I am one of the influential people around, there are ways people have touched my lives as well. I have met different people who have influenced my life positively. Nollywood knows how to forget people.
In Hollywood, you see someone like Gabriella Union who is still relevant. These people started acting way before me. The fact that the stars we used to know are not as relevant as they used to be really hurts me. If I am in a good position to bring them back to create something and make the industry more competitive and fun, why won’t I do that? I have come to realise that working with the people who actually started the industry is way easier than working with the new generation. Not all but some.”
Remmy-Njoku, however, admitted that she would not be able to bring back all the old faces in Nollywood especially the likes of Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde and Genevieve Nnaji because she can’t seem to afford them just yet.
“I pray someday I will be big enough to work with those big stars. I love them but I am not big enough yet,” she said.
On how motherhood has changed her, “I have added so much weight. If you get married, you start having kids and you get older but I won’t say it has slowed me down. I am growing at a good pace,” she added.
It appears that the Japanese surgeon, Dr Katsuya Takasu is not happy with Nigerian sports officials over their “grumblings” about the $390,000 donations he made to the Nigeria U-23 Men’s National Team at the just concluded Rio 2016 Olympics.
The Japanese flew all the way to Brazil to hand cheques to Siasia and John Obi Mikel after they won soccer bronze of the Rio 2016 Olympics. But top Nigerian sports officials have called for investigations to the source of the money.
Now the celebrated billionaire has revealed his displeasure with Nigerian officials especially with sports minister Solomon Dalung -as he told him to run an investigation on his foundation to check the source of the money… He made this known in a series of tweets some hours ago.
Philip Mensah, is a 40-year-old man from the New Juaben Municipality of the Eastern Region of Ghana who has shocked people with his bizarre lifestyle.
The man revealed that he has spent 30 years with the dead in their damaged tombs, and according to him, he is taking all that step so as to gain spiritual powers.
A report on Adom News reveals that Mr. Mensah made the claim during an interview with Brty Fm, a Koforidua-based radio station.
In an interview, he revealed that in his quest to become spiritually powerful, he ended up under the tutelage of Togbe Azakli, a spiritualist at Anum Boso in the region, who ordered him to vacate his original place of abode to the broken tomb.
He disclosed that “my desire is to gain powers that will enable me to discover hidden secrets like how to tell when one will die, one’s future, how to retrieve stolen items, how to make spiritual money, among many others, made me pay heed to the advice of Togbe Azakli who directed me to spend time with the dead in their broken tombs to gain the spiritual powers that I have been wishing for over the past years.”
According to him, he successfully completed his stay with the dead in the tombs but landed into trouble after the ritual ceremony.
He said he has become addicted to sleeping in broken tombs ever since he completed his spiritual assignment.
Explaining further, Mr Mensah stated that though he attained the enormous powers, he has also cultivated a negative attitude that is negatively affecting his life.
“I cannot spend even two hours of my life without visiting a cemetery. I battle with different spirits, but I do not suffer any spiritual attack whenever I stay in my new home- cemetery.
“Life has become unbearable for me because I cannot even stay with the living and make money out of the powers I have. All efforts to stop this behaviour have proved futile. I am now living the life of the dead. I advise everybody to be cautious when it comes to issues of spiritualism, especially those that are not related to God.”
Aunty Kemi Has Come again..This time around, she proclaims she’s an Idol, and every Nigerian Worship her.

When we talk about the old generation of Nollywood actors, Grace Amah will make the list of those being referred to. However this actress didn’t just disappear from our screens.
In an exclusive interview, Amah told Sunday Scoop, how she fasted and prayed before getting back into the industry.
“Actually, it was a lot of work. It wasn’t easy. A lot of fasting and praying went into my decision to return to Nollywood. I had to wait on the Lord, because I had to hear from Him. It suddenly looked as if the name, Grace Amah, wasn’t ringing a bell anymore. It was not easy.
“At some point, I was calling producers and directors. Even the people I knew or used to work with did not seem to be of help. This was the situation until I got a call from Mary Remmy. Since then, I have done several jobs.”
The Ebonyi State-born actress got her big break after she featured in the hit TV series, Superstory’s One Bad Apple. Speaking on what she thinks makes the old Nollywood different from the new Nollywood, she said, “I would say there is a whole lot of difference.
There was this professionalism, love, care but the new Nollywood shows a lot of desperation.
There is a struggle to outshine the other person. It is not a bad development but when it becomes a selfish thing, then there is a problem. Aside from that, there is a lot of improvement in terms of scripting, camera quality and storylines.
Three men who specialize in breaking into shops at the Mushin and Ladipo Auto Spare parts market in Lagos state are telling Federal Special Anti- robbery Squad FSARS policemen how they perpertrate the act.
The suspects were arrested following a tip off that they were allegedly breaking into a building material stall to cart away valuables and cash but luck ran out on three members of the six man gang as they were nabbed in the act.
According to the police, the suspects and thier gang members were allegedly behind series of burglary at Mushin and Ladipo market.
Following interrogation, the suspects who gave thier names as Ebuka Ubajide, Ifeanyi Okoye, and Emeka Ilebunam stated that thier leader one Chibuzor got the guns and cutter they use to break into the shops.
Two of the suspects, Ebuka Ubajide and Emeka Ilebunam confessed that they are sales boys at the Ladipo market.
Ebuka who claimed he has been to two robbery operations with the gang revealed that Emeka hired them to rob his boss so they can make quick money. Ebuka Ubajide who claimed to be 24 years old said “ I am from Anambra state. I am a sales boy in Ladipo market. I met one Ekene while I was serving my master at the market.
However, sometimes last month, I asked Ekene how life was treating him and he said I should meet him at Isolo after the day’s job. I got to the spot where he was and I saw his friends with him. One of his friends called Chibuzor brought took us in his car for operation at Mushin where were broke into the shops and stole money.
The second operation at Ladipo market was orchestrated by Emeka. We met at our usual spot at Isolo and Chibuzor asked Emeka what is job was. Emeka told him that he was helping his boss to sell building materials.
Chibuzor said Emeka will take us to his master’s shop and that was how we got them. Chibuzor brought out the guns and the cutter but as we were about to attack the shop that night, police men came from nowhere and attacked us.
Chibuzor and two other guys escaped but we were not lucky’ Emeka on his part blamed bad friends for luring him to the gang.
He said “ My friends told me about attacking my boss’s shop. I felt there was money in the shop so I invited them to rob my boss. This is my first time. I felt there was money in the shop but we were arrested in the act and I regret my action”.
The third suspect Okoye said other gang members invited him from Abia state any time they are going onrobbery operations. He said “ I am from Abia state. I don’t know how the police got wind of our operations. I regret joining them”.
Saturday Mirror gathered that the police recovered two guns and a cutter from the gang and are on the trail of other members of the gang.

The former erotic dancer is famed for dating Kanye West and Wiz Khalifa, but the other men have faded in her memory. The curvy model said that she’s had so many lovers that she’s completely lost track of the number.
‘I’m 32-years-old, I’ve been around the block a few times, I’m not going to sit there and count,’ she revealed during The Amber Rose Show last night.
Especially all the times I said he could put the head in, then take it out, does that count?’ She asked.
‘Because I used to be so good for that, I was the queen of that,’ she admitted to her guest, the hip hop star Ty Dolla Sign.
In a display of maturity the rapper said a girl’s ‘number’ is of little importance to him.
‘It’s kind of corny, it doesn’t matter that much…if she says ten that means about 100 right,’ smiled the musician, who is good friends with Rose’s ex husband Wiz Khalifa.
A filling station female attendant at a Mobil filling station in Gwagwalada, Abuja, named Esther wowed one of her customers few weeks ago when he lost N30,000 at her station, returned 30minutes later asking if she saw the money and she without hesitation, handed it back to him.

Popular on air personality (OAP) known as Freeze, has been fired by Cool FM.A source confirmed, this was a result of his last controversial post where he shared a photo cuddling ace comedian Basketmouth’s wife whom he referred to as an old family friend.
According to Kemi Filani, Basketmouth who didn’t react publicly was instrumental to his sack and at the moment..Freeze is begging his employers to reconsider
He has since deleted the post about Basketmouth’s wife but apparently, the damage had been done as many found the post distasteful despite his long-standing public beef with the comedian.
Freeze who joined the radio station in 2001 is still begging the management to reconsider
However, this is not the first time Freeze’s mouth has put him in trouble, but it seems his cup finally overflew when he threw shades at Basketmouth’s wife.
On-air-personality (OAP) Freeze has had a run-in with quite a number of people in the past. He has been very vocal about his opinions on trending issues in the country, which of course has not helped him in any way.
Below are some of the things Freeze said that didn’t seat too well with those on the receiving ends:
1. During the 2015 edition of Olamide Live In Concert which Basketmouth anchored he made a joke about Freeze’s wife beating him and this did not go down well with the OAP who took to his Instagram page to reply the comedian in his own language. And the social media war began with both.
2. In a reaction to the President Buhari’s certificate saga, Freeze wrote that:
“Nigerians are busy hounding him for a certificate. If you guys don’t mind, he can come and have mine. I will even add my UI BSC in Sociology as I have never needed the certificate.”
3. Ooni of Ife Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Whatsapp Following the VISIT of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi to the famous Nigerian football striker Obafemi Martins at his residence, Freeze took to his social media handle to indirectly throw shades at the king.
He posted a picture of the Ooni of Ife at a door with the caption: “Knock knock at my door, who could it be? Perhaps it’s the Ooni of Ife coming to visit me.”
4. Pastor TB Joshua Hours after Brussel’s terror attack that killed over 30 people leaving many wounded, the Synagogue Church Of All Nations leader Prophet T.B. Joshua came forward to claim that he predicted the attack. Freeze slammed the prophet saying:
“Baba, leave story you didn’t predict jack! Northern French country ko, southern Portuguese country ni! Shior!!! Your so called prediction killed about 30 while in your own backyard 116 were killed. Baba, leave this one and go and predict #SureBet make boys hammer!”
Freeze had also attacked the prophet earlier when he slammed the justice system for letting the prophet go free while they arrested the MD of Lekki Gardens.
5. Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo: Freeze blames COZA Pastor Fatoyinbo for Ese Walter denouncing God. Walter is the woman Pastor Fatoyinbo allegedly had an affair with. Walter is now married to Freeze’s friends. He wrote:
“I read with pain in my heart the story that Ese nee Walter who happens to be a close friend’s wife, has stopped believing in GOD. And I cannot but cast my mind to her ordeal in the hands of a so called man of God!…”
6. Noble Igwe Newly married Noble Igwe had shared on social media that he doesn’t want to stress his wife if she does not feel like cooking and thus will eat out. Days later Freeze took to social media to talk about Noble’s arrangement with his wife.
7. Tiwa Savage Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Whatsapp Tiwa Savage and Tee Billz During the heat of Tiwa Savage marriage mess with her husband Tunji Teebillz Balogun, Freeze took to his Instagram and wrote to Savage on her marriage.
Read excerpts:
“If you had denied all his accusations and asked to swear on ayelala or amadioha or sango as against the lie detector test, since on no instance has a polygraph ever been used in Nigeria, and if afterwards you had requested for privacy, as you deal with such a sensitive issue, this matter would have been laid to rest. How are you going to tell Nigerians not to talk about issues you ‘used your own hand’ to make public? This could only serve to further delay your healing.”
The administration of President Muhammadu Buhari has witnessed a disturbing inflation rate of 16.5% according to the National Bureau of Statistics report for July, 2016 which has further impoverished the masses he was voted to give a glimpse of hope and survival.
Apparently, this inflation has also affected the “Olosho Market”. Lol
Below is a Whatsapp chat between a prospective client and an online prostitute based in Lagos State made available exclusively to Tori News:
Continue..
In a survey through the participant observation method conducted in Festac Town area of Lagos as well as on trending social media platforms, startling details showed s*x prices have suffered about 60 to 100% increment with the key players blaming the Buhari administration for the towering hike.
Some ‘regular’ commercial s*x workers around 1st and 6th avenues in Festac charge up to N4,000 to N5,000 for a ‘short time’ package which is for only one round. The former basic price for such pleasure service around December, 2015 was N2,000 or N3,000 depending on the beauty, body structure and taste of the s*x worker in question.
An all-night affair either in a hotel or a personal apartment will cost a whooping sum of N10,000 to N15,000 and even N20,000 with the basic ‘street’ terms and conditions in application.
This service before the doomed fate of the naira and the current inflationary trend ranged from N5,000 to N7,000. The s*x workers have also being so vicious and strict during negotiations compared to the friendly and appealing antics put up in the past which could be adduced to the level of discombobulation faced under the technical recession being experienced in the country.
The online market seems to have witnessed massive deregulation like the oil sector in the country. Social media platforms like Eskimi.com, Insta.me app, badoo.com, mobofree.com, Instagram and a host of others have been saturated colossally by bleaching ladies scantily-clad to send encrypted business messages to potential customers.
The ones with conspicuous natural endowments such as pawpaw-like boobs and gargantuan bums have a field day displaying their merchandise with men trooping in for the pleasure business.
A concerted study on the Insta.me application (insta chat) which is a messenger app for people in the Instagram community revealed pleasure sessions have gone up to N30,000 to N35,000 in a venture that didn’t cost more than N7,000 to N10,000 in the past. Most of these ladies adamantly defend their price tags which they term ‘non negotiable’.
Some ladies due to low patronage during the week days which are taken earnestly in Lagos volunteered to take as low as N10,000 to N12,000 for a short time package of simply two rounds during the day.
Coughing up these sums for money for low income earners especially in Lagos where just over 20% of the working population earn over N100,000 as monthly salaries has been excruciatingly inconvenient against the backdrop of a compelling s*xual urge which could be herculean to regulate among randy men.
It doesn’t look like the Olympian is any less bothered about the scandals that has been trailing since his 9th gold win at the just concluded 2016 Olympics.
The fastest man in the world, Usain Bolt has been on a party spree and exciting every lady he meets with a treat – after reportedly partying until 5am this morning, his 4th night out this week, the athlete, invited 5 girls back to his hotel room.
People can talk, people will talk, people are talking… Usain is less bothered!
Mr. Amin Mousalli is the man behind the dismissal of OAP Daddy Freeze, the man who he made reference to when refuting the reports that he was fired from the Radio Station earlier today.
Mr Amin Mousalli is owner of AIMS Group, a conglomerate that is into construction, engineering design, communications and more.
He is the wealthy founder of Nigeria’s leading radio stations Cool FM, Nigeria Info 99.3 FM and Wazobia FM, popular confectionery company, Chocolat Royal that was sealed by NAFDAC last year over alleged sale of expired food products, businesses he has been running successfully with his daughters; one of them had her wedding earlier this year.

Now, new reports/evidence has come out to really show the OAP was indeed fired from the Radio Station/Company. See Evidence below (internal memo), courtesy Stella Dimokoko.
Though reason for his sack is still Unknown, but reports are indeed claiming he was fired for the “Basketmouth wife’s Post”..While sources say he was fired because he was feeling too important (was absent when the board called for an important meeting)..MD got mad…and terminated his appointment.

Daddy Freeze has come out to dispel the reports circulating real fast like wild fire.
In a post he shared on his Instagram, Daddy freeze described the reports as false, slanderous and defamatory..and threatened legal actions against the blogger if she doesn’t apologize publicly to him within 24 hours.
Read what he wrote:
I never address or dispel rumors but this is the height of it! @instablog9ja and www.misspetitenaijablog.com have both carried all sorts of slanderous stories about me in the past, without confirmation, before posting their outrageous garbage. But this, trust me, would be their last! If this defamatory and slanderous post is not It taken down immediately, and an unreserved apology offered, via the same medium within 24 hrs, I will be forced to take legal action against both blogs.
Yes, there are issues stemming from a meeting over presenters fees yesterday, details of which I choose not to discuss, because of the respect I have for Mr Moussalli and his family, but trust me, it has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with Basket mouth or social media…….
