So years back, a little town in the western part of the country called Igbo Ora in Oyo state, Nigeria came into limelight after it was dubbed as the ‘twin capital of the world’. You could barely get to a household at Igbo Ora without seeing a set of twins.
And what is the mystery behind this rare phenomenon? The natives claim it is their diet! – they believe that a kind of okra leaves, locally known as ewe ilasa, is capable of making women who use it give birth to twins.
Consuming the leaves regularly over a period of time may help in conceiving twins if it’s your so desire.
According to a native of Igbo Ora:
“Delivering twin babies is our industry here. We are the ones producing more twins than any other towns in Nigeria, and that is what our study reveals because of the symbolic reason that we prepare okra leaves as soup more than any other soup,”
He noted further that: “There is no man or woman in this town who does not know how to eat okra soup. We cook the leaves called ewe ilasa (ilasa leaves) more of which we consume than any other soup”
My lovely ladies that want twins… what are you waiting for?!
According to LIB, TV presenter, Eku Edewor, known for hosting show, Studio 53, is pregnant. A source told LIB that Eku, 30, is about 7 months and is due to give birth in October.
She’s currently in London to give birth. Her baby shower will hold in London soon. Eku has been dating Chini Odogwu, the son of billionaire businessman, Sunny Odogwu, for about two years now.
Okay, this is not an exaggeration, I literally cried while laughing when I was reading this! It makes me want to have an online scammer too that I can do the same thing to! Hehe…
This lady is a such a savage… Imagine how she took her time make the unintelligent scammer have her trust… the scammer is such a mumu tho… but his “mumuness” was “kuku” what brought out the fun in the conversation thread.
Okay, so thorough investigation concerning “Jenifa’s” wedding is still ongoing and we’re gonna break down the little we’ve been able to gather.
First off, we know that today is the actress’s 40th birthday and we also know of her relationship with Nigerian singer, JJC Skillz whose full name is Abdul Rasheed Bello (bare this name in mind).
Well, our hypothesis began when she shared a Snapchat video hours ago which showed that her wedding band had increased in number, there were two! and not one!!
Still skeptical, we further investigated and were led to JJC’s daughter, Tamira Bello, who on her snapchat account shared photos of her and Funke together and also a wedding car… coincidence?
What made our theory even stronger is the acronym, “FAB“, that JJC used when congratulating the actress on her birthday on Instagram.
“Happy birthday @funkejenifaakindele aka FAB,” he wrote “Many happy returns. May all your days be filled with love, and happiness. You’ll find peace in your home, work, body, mind and soul. You’ll never lack. Health and wealth is your potion. Long life and prosperity. Stay blessed my best friend?”
FAB – meaning, Funke Akindele Bello, recall that the singer’s family name is Bello?! – well, with all this info gathered, it’s safe to congratulate the latest couple in town! but of course… on a low key… ssshhhhh…
About two weeks ago, August 4th to be precise, a woman delivered a set of quadruplets, 3 boys and one girl, at the 64th Annual Convention of the Redeemed Christian Church of God held at the Redemption Camp, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Ogun State.
It was the first time in the history of the convention that a woman would give birth to quadruplets.
In celebration of their birth, wife of the General Overseer of the Church, Pastor Mrs Folu Adeboye has taken up full responsibility for the children. She has also provided a well-furnished two (2) bedroom flat in one of the estates on the Redemption Camp while plans are in place to secure a good job for the children’s father.
A total of 67 children were born same Thursday, 40 are boys while 27 are girls. Pastor Enoch Adeboye describe the birth as unique.
“For the first time in the history of our conventions and our maternity centre, a woman gave birth to four babies,” he said.
Ace Comedian, Ali Baba shared the photo above showing some of his pet dogs saying that he named them after different world leaders (Both past & present).
The comedian says that former Nigerian President Obasanjo, was aware and impressed that he had a dog named after him. Read below:
“My dogs and I back in the day. Must have had like 12 at a particular point in time. Interesting time. That time I mean. I had traveled and returned at night, but was too tired to relate with them. OBJ, the big Alsatian was the head of the pack. Then Obama was the big black and white Great Dane, the Alsatian on the bummer was Thatcher. Thatcher must have given me like 18 puppies. In her good days (X120k per puppy) the ridge back by Thatcher was called Madiba. It arrived from South Africa on the birthday of Mandela
The Second Harlequin Great Dane was named after Queen Amina… But the fiercest of my odds were Chaka, IBB AND Abacha. They took no prisoners. In fact, if I gave you anything I had used before, like shoes or clothes,my advice is not to wear them to my home. Because if Chaka, or Abacha caught a whiff of that item on you… You will not like yourself. They were my trusted securities and my friend. One time in LEKKI, 1997 or so, a guy scaled the fence into my compound in the night. I was woken up to a shouts of “Oga come o!!!!!”
“Oga I am finished!” And Usman my maiguard was having a good laugh. At 2am! The petty thief was on the roof of my V-Boot. I was more scared for his life than he was of it. Because then we had Chaka, Ghadaffi and Clinton. Those who new these dogs will testify to their brutality. Go ask@basorge_tariah and@officialbunmidavies… But with hind sight now, I am just thanking God. Yes oooo! O have to thank God ooo. That it was not now, that I named my dogs after any sitting president and foreign leaders. In fact, Obasanjo himself was very impressed years later when his friend that brought me a gift from Baba, told him how a dog called OBJ in Ali Baba’s house nearly killed him. Baba used to warn my wife then, that if she ever decided to have a dog meal, she should not touch OBJ… But then again, OBJ had a different kind of personality and a high sense of humor. Everyone can not be the same. So I understand. An that is all I have to say.”
So we have yet another Nigerian getting married to an Asian person – just days after we brought y’all photos of a Nigerian lady who got married to her Asian hussy – we bring you yet another of one Obinna Ogbuji who said “I do” to his very pretty wife Suzy Shin on Saturday 13 August 2016.
The couple had their white wedding in South Korea followed by a traditional marriage the same day. Checkout their lovely photos below:
Nigerian billionaire and owner of Forte Oil petrol stations, has shown that you don’t need to be loud to show you have arrived.
Billionaire businessman Femi Otedola, has shown that even with all the money in the world, ‘flaunting’ is not always the best option.
Otedola who is one of the richest men in Nigeria (if not Africa), was pictured with his phones, and it’s not what you would expect someone of his status to have.
Where you would expect such a rich man to own and use this kind of phone, he happens to own two old Nokia phones instead (we say old because Nokia has since upgraded to making lots of smartphones). The picture was shared by one of his daughters on snapchat, with the caption ‘Old Skool’.
Maybe he’s one of those who believe in ‘as long as it can make and receive calls, it’s fine’.
This young lady with an appealing beauty is currently physically challenged with a seemingly amputated leg.
She has been permanently relegated to walking on crutches.
Her picture was posted on an African forum on Facebook expressing her fears about her limited chances of getting married and having a family due to her physical limitations.
The identity of the lady in question is currently unknown as well as the circumstances that culminated in her present predicament.
Some Nollywood actresses and spoiling our eyes with their cleavages though, they’re like 5&6…
In a series of photos shared by Nollywood actress, Daniella Okeke, a quite curvy butt and major cleavage were served by the actress for the whole world to see…
This is not new for her as she has occasionally served rounds on social media after she put her body parts on display… See more photos below:
In an official statement issued late yesterday by the President’s special adviser on media and publicity, Femi Adesina, the United States (US) secretary of state, John Kerry, has assured President Muhammadu Buhari of his country’s support because the president ‘inherited a big problem‘.
Speaking at the presidential villa in Abuja during secretary of State’s visit to the country on Tuesday, Kerry commended the courage of President Buhari in fighting corruption, saying:
“We applaud what you are doing. Corruption creates a ready-made playing field for recruiting extremists. You inherited a big problem, and we will support you in any way we can. We will work with you very closely. We don’t want to interfere, but will offer opportunities as you require.”
“Nigeria is priority for us. We won’t miss the opportunity to work together, because you are making significant progress,” Kerry said.
Head of states, President Muhammadu Buhari on his remarks, pledged that the anti-corruption crusade in the country will be deepened and institutionalized to last beyond the life of the current administration.
“We will insist on the standards we’re establishing. We are laying down administrative and financial instructions in the public service that must be obeyed. Any breach will no longer be acceptable.
“We will retrain our staff, so that they understand the new orientation. And those who run foul of these rules will be prosecuted, no matter who is involved. But we will be fair, just and act according to the rule of law. Anyone perceived corrupt is innocent till we can prove it. We will work very hard to establish documentation for successful prosecution, and those in positions of trust will sit up.”
Buhari further showed gratitude on the intervention of the U.S before the 2015 polls, demanding free and fair elections in Nigeria, saying,
“America did not do it because of what it stands to benefit from us. You did it for the Nigerian people. It tells so much what the U.S stands for in the world.”
Speaking on the Boko Haram sect, the President thanked the U.S for both hard and soft military help.
“The training and intelligence that we could not muster ourselves, we received. The training has made Boko Haram less of a threat to Nigeria and the Lake Chad Basin region, while the military hardware has given our troops added confidence.”
The Ugandan woman seen in the photo above was employed as house-help but out of greed and covet, she wanted to make extra illegal dough by kidnapping her boss’s little 2-year-old girl and disappearing for two weeks, but her criminal story has been curbed as she has been arrested.
The Kenyans reports that Jessica Nawire was nabbed at the Busia border with Baby Kaity Amanda, by police officers acting on a tip-off from a stranger.
Nawire was then taken to the Busia Police station where she was locked up as the baby’s parents were being sought to come and pick their child.
The house-help however said she fled with the baby because she had not been paid her three-month salary. Baby Amanda remained with her uncle Maurice Ochieng at the station, as her parents travelled to the border town to reunite with her.
Mr Ochieng said that he was in Uganda following a lead before he was informed of the arrest by Ugandan police.
“I was in Nayemba following a lead when police contacted me at around 2pm,” Ochieng was quoted by a local daily.
It would be recalled that the baby’s mother, Fiona Akinyi, had taken to social media to broadcast the shocking news by circulating photos of her two-year-old as she pleaded with people to help her locate her baby.
The police are now investigating the matter although it is obvious the house-help was lying as she had only worked for her madam for two weeks.
The actress, we learnt is feeling betrayed and has been in angst since the story came out today because of his ‘not so bright’ image and the various brands she is representing.
“She is presently not in the right mood because this would be the first time a Nollywood actor would come out openly to disclose his kiss and tell story with her even though, rumours of her alleged romance with some of them have been everywhere.” A source hinted.
Joseph disclosed that his romance with screen goddess, crashed because Genny could not accommodate the fact that he was still carrying the badge of a virgin at that moment.
Joseph disclosed in a recent interview that;
“I had no difficulty mingling. What I had issues with was entangling- copulating. And like I said earlier, I wasn’t ready because I was a virgin and I didn’t want to tell anybody. I was always making excuses about why I couldn’t ‘get down.’ In fact this is one of the reasons my very short relationship with Genevieve was such a disaster. This is the first time I am admitting this publicly. Genny and I met and became friends on the set of Mark of the Beast. Of course in her very early days. It was as though we were in some type of experiment. But I learned a lot about her within that short period. Two unforgettable moments- the day she introduced her little brother to me and the day she told me literally everything about herself. She trusted me that much. My mind was racing like crazy and I kept wondering how so little people knew about this young Amazon who was out to play the Esther for her family and did she? She felt like family to me. Unfortunately, we couldn’t go further because of my funny little ‘virgin’ secret. Not that she solicited or asked for anything but of course, my body language was downright repulsive to that effect and it didn’t take anything for any woman with brains to figure it out. She was so full of pragmatic energy and so on-the-go- like woman on a mission. Never ready to play around with stuff she couldn’t put up with. I hope she’s still that way. She has got an incredible story to her glory.”
Genevieve have been linked with so many young men in the past but this is the first time one of them will come out to admit why he left the mother of one.
She’s quite pretty for this kind of lifestyle though – this 19 year old confessed how she was initiated into lesbianism and how she has slept with over 40 women thus far.
The teenage lesbian shocked her family and friends after making a confession how she bedded more than 40 women, with 20 of this estimate being people’s wives.
According to eDaily, Malkia Said, better known by the pseudonym Malkies, confessed to Tanzania’s Risasi that she was busted performing unnatural sexual acts with someone’s wife, and the aggrieved husband cut her hair.
Giving details of how she was initiated into the act, Malikia said she became aware of her sexual orientation when she was little, and she would tease her female colleagues time and again.
“When I was little, there was a male cousin of mine who was preying on me. He wanted to rape me, but I managed to elude him. When I joined Class Eight, I was taken to a boarding school in Mwanza. I had strong feelings for my female schoolmates. I just wanted to have sex with them,” she told the weekly.
Malkia was later transferred to a different boarding school in Kibaha.
“One day I fell sick. A friend of mine who was a Zanzibar national pecked me on the cheek. However, we took the peck too far as we found ourselves having sex. That was in 2010,” said Malkia.
Malkia recounts she and her friend furthered their act for weeks – and when the school’s administration learnt of their sexual orientation, their relatives were informed. However, they chose to ignore the alarm claiming that their daughters were being falsely accused.
She revealed that her obsession for the act forced her to search for s*xmates. After the death of her mother, she sought for comfort in the arms of other women which led her to start following married women. But, the opposition she faced by relatives and friends forced her to start covering up her tracks by dating men.
She dated nearly 20 men but says she did not attain sexual climax with the men, as she did with women.
“When my uncle saw me in company of men, he would beat me up – claiming I was too young to involve myself intimately with men. He did not know what I was going through. I could not tell him anyway,” said Malkia.
Malkia says she perceived herself to be more mature than her female age mates. In a bid not to lead them astray, she opted to have regular s*x with older women. That is when she entangled with someone’s wife living in Magomeni.
The Magomeni woman was divorced by her husband when he found out of his wife’s unnatural sexual escapade.
“I have slept with more than 20 women who are people’s wives. Most of the women were older than me. Many of the married women pursued me by themselves. The Magomeni woman pursued me for long; at that time I was in a sexual relationship with another woman.
“When I broke up with my partner early 2016, I decided to enter a sexual relationship with the Magomeni woman. She is 30 years old. She first lied to me that she was living with her dad. She even took me to her house. However, she later confessed that she was someone’s wife.
“When neighbours spotted her with me on several occasions, they tipped her husband off. They said I visited the man’s wife when he was not home. A serious altercation ensued between the woman and her husband. The wife demanded a divorce, and she was given – just because of me,” said Malkia.
“We continued with our sexual relationship, even after she divorced. We both lived at her sister’s house in Ubungo. Two weeks later, her sister found out about our activities. She called her kinsmen who beat me up, and even cut my hair. We still continued our sexual relationship, anyway, until recently when we stopped.”
Malkia has tried her hand at music and acting, but she flopped. The 19-year-old says her dream sexual partner was her compatriot model and actress, Wema Sepetu whom she met at a past function in Arusha.
“I did not confess my attraction to her because both of us were tipsy. Were it not for being drunk, I would have told her how she drives me crazy.”
Malkia has also revealed that she was attracted to females living with albinism as she battles with her sexual orientation. She says she wants to put up an organization in Tanzania that would raise awareness against gay relationships.

After emerging as bronze medalists from the just concluded 2016 Olympic games, the twelve football players who represented Nigeria and 7 officials who accompanied them, including their coach Samson Siasia, have arrived back in Nigeria while other athletes have returned to their various bases.
Dream Team were the only ones who won a medal for the country at the Olympics following their 3-2 victory over Honduras in the third-placed match.
Whats more to their arrival at the MMIA on Monday night is that not one official from the Sports Ministry or the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) welcomed them from Brazil – the players have now departed to their various destinations as no plans were made to host them.
One Mr. Sheriff Oyewole, who according to allegations, got his family friend’s daughter drunk at a party and raped her – he was yesterday, sentenced to 19 years imprisonment by a Lagos magistrate.
According to the court, the convict was found guilty of offences of rape and assault, leveled against him for having canal knowledge of the lady, whom he had known for 10 years. The incident, according to the prosecution, occurred last week in a hotel in Yaba area of Lagos.
The defendant was said to have lured the lady to the hotel after getting her drunk at a party and stripped her Unclad, recorded her nude and threatened to release the video on social media if she refused to have sex with him.
Apart from these, he was said to have also soaked her cloth after the incident, while he returned the wet clothes and kept the panties in a bag. He, thereafter, escorted her to her mummy’s shop around 10p.m.
On sighting her daughter, according to the evidence before the court, her mother was curious, but the victim told the court that out of fear she lied that she had a scuffle with her friends at the party.
However, her mother, who was not convinced, put pressure on her, after which she narrated the incident to the mother. But the convict, knowing the game was up, took to his heels and was apprehended by neighbours.
The convict, it was gathered, threw the bag containing the victim’s bag, panties and the phone which he used to record her nudity to the girl.
Popular Nollywood actor, Olaniyi Afonja, Sanyeri, as he’s fondly called has just bought his lovely wife, Hawawu Omolara, a brand new car.
Guessing it was done in a bid to tighten their bond after their marriage almost crashed in 2014 when the actor allegedly impregnated one of his interns.
His wife can now cruise like the spouse of a star in her Honda car in IB city… congrats to her!
Nollywood actress, Halima Abubakar shared the quote above telling women engaging in fasting and prayers over men they won’t have. She says they should pray for themselves instead.
She wrote:

Deborah Faleke, the young girl electrocuted at Fagbenro Street, Alakuko, Lagos State on May 21, two weeks after she finished writing her WASCE examination, had two distinctions and six credits in the just-released results.
Pastor Ademola Faleke, her father, disclosed yesterday that Deborah’s result was one of the best in her school.
He said: “Deborah had two distinctions and six credits out of the nine subjects she sat for in the 2016 May/June WASCE: C6, Economics; B3, Geography; C5, Civil Education, and C4 in English Language. “She also had C4 in Mathematics; B3, in Chemistry; E8, Biology; C6, Physics and F9 in Marketing.” ‘
The pastor, moved to tears while reeling out the result, said Deborah had desired to study Bio-Chemistry in one of the private universities in Ogun State before her death.
He said: “My daughter was the Senior Girl and President of the school Jet’s Club and the Secretary of its Literary and Debating Society. “I had promised her that I would do everything within my power to ensure that she achieved her education goals, but the will of God must prevail.”
Deborah had gone to stay with her cousin, Bukola Ogunbanjo, when the incident that led to her untimely death happened.
The high-tension, which belonged to Ikeja Electric, IE, fell on Deborah immediately electricity supply was restored to the area around 10a.m., on the fateful day. According to Faleke, “the management of IE visited my family once. Since then, my family had not seen or heard anything from them.”
He also said that recently the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, sent its representatives to commiserate with him and his family over the loss. However, IE’s Head of Corporate Communications, Mr. Felix Ofulue, said that the matter was being handled by its legal unit.

If he wasn’t a rich man who became poor, then he’d be a poor man who became rich – Veteran Nollywood actor, Tony Umez, is one of the very many actors who have graced our TV screens over the past decades with his entertaining roles in movies.
We’d know him to be a cheating husband, or a passionate lover who gets cheated on and what have you, you could almost predict what role the actor was gonna be play in a movie when you see its title but still, you’d be intrigued to watch it!
It’s only right we celebrate the actor as he celebrates his Golden Jubilee – though it was yesterday… it’s better late than never… HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TONY UMEZ!!

President Muhammadu Buhari has described those who shout “Allah is great” before killing innocent people as mentally deranged.
Speaking through the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, at the launch of the revised National Counter Terrorism Strategy, NACTEST, in Abuja, Mr President said “it is either they do not know the meaning of those words or they are simply deranged.”
The President noted that “these enemies (Boko Haram) are essentially an insane nuisance because they revel in cowardly attacks.”
Explaining that the war against terrorism was unconventional, the President said that his government will continue to improve its strategy in a bid to win the war against insurgents.
Buhari said,
“There must be an understanding that the war against terrorism is the most unconventional one. They (terrorists) do not respect any rules of engagement; kill the defenseless including prisoners, use children and humans, girls and consider the killing of anyone at all at a victory.
“Therefore as we think through our strategy we must remember that to permanently win the physical battle, we must win the battle of the minds of even the most impressionable young men who sign up to join Boko Haram and other violent extremist groups.
“We must understand that terrorism is essentially a psychological warfare and as such is psychologically sophisticated and we must educate the youth through the leadership of our faith that neither Islam nor any other religion that we know endorses the slaughter of anyone.
“In the past few years our nation faced the threat of terrorism characterized by mindless killing of our people including children.”
