The perfect gentleman that has won the hearts of many females both in and out of the movie industry.
Richard Mofe Damijo is one of the few stylish Nollywood classic actors! Even after decades of being in the movie game, the actor is still at the top of his game!
He looks super stylish in these new photos of himself as he models outfits for Mudi Africa, shot by Kelechi Amadi.
The movie star asked his fans to pick their favorite look.
Looking at the dress above, would you say that it is too short to be worn to a wedding ceremony?!
A friend of the anonymous guest shared a picture to a New Zealand radio station ‘The Breeze’s Facebook page‘ on Sunday with a question.
Can we get some advice from you please? A friend wore this dress to a wedding in the weekend and got targeted big time. She says she got treated rudely by other women at the wedding who saw her as a target for wearing this dress.
A woman came up behind her and slapped her on the bum and said it was on a dare from a group of other women who were watching and snickering. Someone else seemingly purposely spilt a beer on her.
She’s amazed that grown women could be so immature and such bullies. Okay, but wait. She wants to know – Did she bring ANY of this on herself by wearing this dress to a wedding? Your thoughts?
A motorcyclist, Kazeem Sani, has been set free by a Lagos State High Court sitting in Igbosere, after awaiting trial for 10 years in the Kirikiri Medium Prison.
Sani, 34, who was accused of stealing a mobile phone valued at N18,000, was said to have been arraigned before an Ikeja Magistrates’ Court sometime in 2006 when the incident happened before the case was referred to the high court.
PUNCH Metro learnt that the Ore, Ondo State indigene, was freed after the intervention of some officials of the Lagos State Office of the Public Defender.
An official of the OPD, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said no witness showed up for the case during the period, adding that the matter got to the high court in 2013.
He said:
“He was arrested in 2006. However, the matter was filed at the Lagos High Court, Igbosere, on March 27, 2013. That means he spent seven years in custody before his case got to the high court.
“In the three years that the matter was in court, there was no witness. Three suspects were actually arraigned, but the others secured their bail in 2006 when the incident happened. He also didn’t have any legal representative.
“We were just checking on the cases in court when we came across his matter and we decided to stand for him. Even the court was surprised that he had spent 10 years. We asked the court that the matter be struck out for lack of diligent prosecution and the Chief Judge, Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo, struck out the matter.”
The official said Sani could not believe he had been set free until he was reassured by court officials to go home. It was learnt that Sani had only been married for one year and his wife was pregnant as of the time of the incident.
Court documents obtained by PUNCH Metro revealed that Sani and two others, Ezekiel Oriyomi and Bashiru Olaide, were arraigned for robbery.
The police, in the three counts, said Sani, and others, on July 7, 2006 dispossessed one Chike of his mobile phone valued at N18,000 at Oluti bus stop, along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway, Lagos.
But the discharged and acquitted Sani told PUNCH Metro that he did not steal the phone.
He said:
“I am a tailor by craft, but when I saw that my earnings were not sufficient to cater to the need of my wife, whom I just married, I decided to start riding a motorcycle to augment my income.
“While coming from my house at Idi-Iroko, Sango, on July 6, 2006, two men asked me to carry them to Agege. On the way, some officials of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, started flagging me down.
“When I stopped, the two men on my motorcycle jumped down and started to run, but they were quickly arrested. I was also taken to the SARS office at Ikeja.
“I asked them what my crime was and they said I was among the robbers who always snatched people’s bags. I denied and told them my wife was pregnant and I was just looking for my daily bread, but they refused.”
He said the three of them were later arraigned at the Ikeja Magistrate’s Court. He explained that the court admitted them to bail in the sum of N50,000 with two sureties in like sum, adding that while the two other defendants met the bail conditions and were released, he could not meet the conditions and was, therefore, detained.
Sani said he was moved to the Kirikiri Medium Prison where he spent 10 years without trial.
“My marriage was barely a year old then. My wife, Amina, was pregnant, and my father, who was aged, lived in Ondo.
“When I saw that my incarceration was affecting my wife, I told her to stop coming to see me and use the little she had to take care of herself and the pregnancy. Her parents also promised to assist me in taking care of the child,” he added.
He explained that the other suspects stopped showing up in court while he was being taken to court without trial. He added that there was no witness in the case and that going to court became a routine.
“I never believed I would be released. I thought it would be the usual routine, until the DPP’s lawyer showed up and pleaded for me.
“Justice Taiwo queried the prosecutor that I had been in custody since 2006 and she (prosecutor) could not even produce any evidence or witness against me. That was how I was set free,” he said.
The Director of the OPD, Mrs. Omotola Rotimi, who spoke through the agency’s spokesman, Adeoba Adeniji-Adele, confirmed the incident, adding that the government planned to reintegrate Sani into the society.
Proud dad and pop singer, Chris Brown shared this adorable photo earlier of his daughter, Royalty, putting on two different pairs of shoes and gave it the caption:
“Ready for any occasion”.
The toddler is adorable though – ever since she came to be, she has been the source of the singer’s music inspiration.
Ace comedian, Ali Baba shared this screenshot image while expressing total shock that people fall for such scams.
According to him:
When you share some messages, like this one, amongst others, the first question I find myself asking is, WHAT IS THE VALUE OF GOING TO SCHOOL? In the first place, was the number that called you withheld? In this days of social media, you can download Whatsapp, twitter, Facebook, snapchat and all the free social apps, but you can not download #truecaller Abi? Let’s even leave that.
Is there a bank transfer that is not traceable? In these days of BVN? Is the SIM card not registered? Where have you heard a network provider call you to switch off your phone and leave it turned off? I am tired of people who acquire knowledge yet fail to apply same. Some will ask you for the definition of a word you used in a post and they actually remind you that you have not told them what it means. And they have safari or the likes. Download a dictionary… Nmmmmba! But they can download games that won’t save them from scammers. How do you claim to be a graduate that did R&D yet to apply some common sense is a task. The most absurd one I have heard is someone calling a lady and asking for her BVN and ATM card pin and she gave the caller all her details plus home address. Then turns to the boyfriend and starts investigating where he was last night when she called at a particular time and his phone was engaged. Some people will turn on their Jack Bauer mode… But become a blonde in other matters. How do you explain reposting a message that says if #whatsapp broadcast is not shared to 10 people, the Whatsapp features will be blocked? And people fall for it! I bet those are the same people who don’t get to read the body of bloggers’ headlines. They just see the title and make up the rest of the story. What kind of mental laziness condenses us to such gullible state? What happened to being discerning? Logical and abunnnna? Why don’t we read, comprehend and then let our minds or brains filter all the stuff we had taken it through a process of right thinking, before we begin to broadcast our ignorance? How hard is that? I don tayaaaaaa. Oghene Bikooooor!

She’s grown to be one of Nigeria’s leading actresses, Monalisa Chinda is a Nollywood household name that has been on the tongues of many ever since she appeared on TV screen.
The beautifully made creature shared this stunning Throwback of her university days and according to her colleague, Fred Amata, it seems they may have been the same set.

Popular Nigerian singer, Harrison Tare Okiri, popularly known as Harrysong, and his record label, Five Star Music, owned by multi-millionare business mogul, Emeka Okonkwo a.k.a E-Money and his elder brother Kingsley Okonkwo a.k.a KCee, is reportedly at war.
According to a report on Vanguard, there are indications that all is not well between the musician and his record label following Harrysong’s forthcoming ‘One Delta Concert’ with the singer allegedly investing resources into the project which his record label has strictly warned him to discontinue and concentrate on releasing his much anticipated first ever album under the label.
It was gathered that Harrysong had already pleaded with the management of his label to allow him hold the concert which aimes at sensitizing the youth on the need to shun violence, but they allegedly refused to oblige him.
A source to Vanguard revealed that KCee who is the vice president of Five Star Music, has allegedly threatened that if Harrysong goes ahead with the concert, he will no longer enjoy support from the label.
When contacted on the telephone, KCee’s manager, Soso Soberekon, however denied the rumour, saying; “There is nothing like that. I don’t know what you are talking about.”
A close source to Harrysong refused to speak on the matter, but said; “Harrysong is concentrating on his event and as I speak, he has been busy trying to tighten loose ends.”
‘One Delta’ is described as a Harrysong Peace Concert which is billed to hold on the 31st of July in Asaba, the Delta State capital.
The government of Delta State is reportedly happy to be a part of the event and promised to make it a yearly event.
For allegedly refusing to submit their class assignments on the deadline day, a whole class has been subjected to a punishment many believe was too harsh.
The students were marched out of the class and forced to lie on the ground as teachers took turns to spank them with a cane.
Singer Saeon recently made the news when she said that African pop star Wizkid, 25, cannot handle her.
Saeon was asked by Pulse TV VJ, C-Classic to choose between ‘five million or date Wizkid’ she immediately replied with “Wizkid cannot handle me.”
According to her, “Wizkid cannot handle me. He can’t handle me because I like my mine tall, I like to climb, run and jump so….” Well it’s not everyday that you see a woman turn down a singer who is on the hottest song in the world right now.
Since singer Saeon has turned down Wizkid by saying he is not her type, we have listed five female celebrities that would be ideal for the Star Boy boss.
1. Chidinma
The beautiful petite singer is everyone’s crush. Chidinma has been able to capture the hearts of a lot of Nigerian men with her cute face and overall beauty.
Since her arrival into the music scene a lot of male Nigerian artistes have confessed that they are crushing on her. Chidinma looks like the perfect choice for Wizkid.
They are of the same height and have the same complexion. On paper it feels like the right fit for both of them.
Don’t forget that the two of them have worked together before on ‘E Mi Ni Baller’ remix so there is some sort of chemistry between the both of them.
Justina Anochie, a Babcock University graduate, has reportedly been abducted by friends who wanted to make money off her family, Punch reports.
According to the publication, the 27-year-old, who completed her nursing course in May and graduated this June, was abducted on Sunday.
Already, the Ogun State Police Command has arrested a University of Lagos undergraduate who has reportedly been linked to the kidnap. She is currently helping the police with investigations.
Speaking with the press, Anochie’s sister Judith Nze, said the kidnappers demanded N10 million and later asked for N5 million. They refused the family’s offer of N300,000 and have promised to kill the young graduate if their demands are not met.
Here’s what she said:
“[Anochie] has finished her programme in the school and was just waiting for some clearance. I learnt that the place she stays is isolated.
She was taken on Sunday and since then we have all lost our peace. I have stopped going to the office because I can’t concentrate.
Initially, we thought it was a joke until the kidnappers contacted us and demanded N10m as ransom. They later reduced it to N5m.
They have refused the N300,000 we offered them, insisting that they would kill her if we don’t pay the money.
They also said we must withdraw the case from the police as a condition for her release.
My mother spoke with her this morning (Thursday) and she did not sound good. We are afraid they might harm her.
We are just appealing to them to release her.”
Confirming the kidnap case to the press, a police source said that Anochie was kidnapped with the help of an ‘insider’, the female Unilag graduate.
He said:
“It was an organised crime. Based on preliminary investigations, it appeared that her friends conspired against her. It was a set-up.
We believe the kidnappers think that her parents are wealthy and they could make money from them. A female student of a school in Lagos has already been arrested.”
Also, the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Muyiwa Adejobi, said,
“The incident happened on Sunday. Immediately we learnt of the abduction, we started investigations. We have already arrested a suspect and investigations are ongoing.”
Sharing her quite amazing story in the most beautiful way, MAVIN’s recording artiste, Di’Ja has disclosed to us that she’s put to bed, a bouncing baby boy!!!
Not sharing photos of the new baby but telling her story in an animated way – since 2014, how she met her hussy, Rotimi, during the summer, and after a year they got engaged and then officially wedded traditionally in 2015 and how she’s put to bed a baby boy now in 2016.
The music star really did a good job in making her private life really private all these while. We have nothing but joy for her though!
Ivory Coast professor Honore Kahi, who was pictured carrying a student’s baby on his back in class said being a mother should not stop women getting an education, BBC reports.
Prof. Kahi said he offered to take the baby because he was crying and preventing the mother from sitting in class. He said his students were surprised, began to laugh and then took pictures.
Some of those who shared the photos on social media showered him with praises, describing him as a hero. Mr Kahi, who teaches communications at Ivory Coast’s Bouake University, said that women should not be discouraged by people’s perceptions of what they should be able to do.
“What prevails here is… male chauvinism, he said. and then quoted an ancient philosopher in his interview with BBC Afrique. “It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare. It is because we do not dare that they are difficult.’ In our environment we let ourselves be discouraged by others.”
He said that when he took the baby and tied him on his back he stopped crying and fell asleep, adding that he learned how to do it by observing how women carry their children.
“In fact, men are able to do certain things, and usually it’s the way society sees men that prevents them from doing these things.”

Mark Angel talks on little Emmanuella, comedy biz
Mark Angel Comedy has taking over the airwaves with their hilarious comedy skits which always go viral. NAIJ.com spoke with ‘Uncle Mark’ as little Emmanuella always refers to Mark Angel.
He spoke on how he discovered the little Emmanuella, how the comedy is affecting little her education and how he abandoned a promising career in medical line for comedy.
Read the excerpts below:
How did you come about your style of comedy?
I hardly can categorize our kind of comedy. All I can say is that we found the need to create African comic materials that families can relate with and enjoy.
How will you describe your kind of comedy?
Without fear of sounding naive, I really can’t describe our kind of comedy. We just do what would make our friends laugh. It is nothing different from other comedies out there.
Which of your comedy skits brought you to limelight?
I think it was the Landlord skit.
Mark Angel
How did you discover Emmanuella?
Emmanuella is one of the kids in our acting school. We discovered her from the foundation.
Why the choice of the environment you use in your comedy skits unlike in Lagos where they go to wealthy areas to shoot their comedy skits?
The thing is; comedy is comedy, as long as you can relate with it and it makes you laugh, it is comedy. In our case, we come from a low live area and we relate very well with the things that happen there that’s why we create our comedies around those areas. It’s our environment.
How old is Emmanuella?
Emanuella is five. She will turn six in July 2016.
What are her parents and friends reaction to her new-found fame?
Her parents are proud of her and love what she is doing.
What class is she in school?
She is in Primary one.
Hope this is not affecting her academics?
It is. Now she works extra to be ahead of her mates and her academic calendar. Let me use this opportunity to thank her Principal Mrs Femi E. Peace and her team for all the hard work they are doing for this little girl.
Emmanuella seems to be getting all the attention; don’t you feel jealous at times that she is taking the shine off you even though you own the comedy skits?
There is no such thing as taking the shine. Our aim is to put her out there, help gain audience in the world mainstream comedy and that’s what we are doing. That’s what we will do for all our comedians by God’s grace.
Give us an insight into your background in comedy, education etc.
I personally don’t have any professional education in comedy. I just love laughing and making my friends laugh too. Talking about academics, I dropped out of medical school some years ago in order to give time to my dream. But as soon as I set course, I will go back to school.
Who is your role model in the industry and who motivated you?
Basketmouth and Kelvin Harts are my biggest role models.
What do you have for your fans as truly speaking you have taken over comedy skits?
I want to say thank you for always being there for us, thank you for sharing our videos, thank you for giving us attention. And to all who are working hard to get heard, just keep working and believing, and praying and trusting God… It works. Meanwhile, I really don’t think we have taken over comedy skits. Not yet, we are too far from taking over. There are too many people in Hollywood doing better until we can compare our material with theirs, we are still starting.

A Chinese man suffered cruel fate in the hands of some angry passengers after he was beaten to a pulp for allegedly stealing a phone on a crowded subway in Beijing, China on Tuesday.
According to CCTV News, it was later found out that the man was innocent owning a phone similar to the one that was stolen.
Being mistaken for a thief, the man was held on the floor and punched in his face while crying and shouting, “Please help me! Call the police!” Many passersby recorded the entire incident, but no one called the police, and only a few pedestrians attempted to help.
The video triggered various discussions online and a weibo user named @April asked, “Why did the person beat him without even asking first? Was he thinking with the power of fists instead of his brain?”
Come on, you know you’ve wondered, at one time or another. Right?
You still don’t know what I’m talking about?
If you look right on the back of a shirt, you should find that there is a very small hoop of material right in the middle of the shoulder blades. See a sample below:
Via leangarments.com
What’s the deal with this little hoop anyway? I figured that it was just a useless thing that designers thought would look cool. I paid no more attention to it. Until now, when I found out that there really IS a reason that it exists.
Well, the truth of the matter is that the little loop actually dates back to a time when there were no wardrobes – only chests of drawers.
Now, as most of you will know, if you put a freshly ironed (or pressed) shirt into a drawer, it will wrinkle up in no time. That is the last thing you want.
So, the little hoop on the back of the shirt allowed people to hang their shirts in the hallway rather than put them away in their drawers.

Six gay men were attacked in Cote d’Ivoire and forced to flee their homes after they were pictured signing a condolence book for the victims of the recent attack at a gay night club in Orlando, Florida early this month.
The U.S. embassy in the country had hosted an event a fortnight ago to honor the Florida victims and published a photo of the six men on its website with the caption: ‘LGBT community signing the condolence book’.
Days after the tribute, one of the men in the photo was attacked by a mob in his neighbourhood.
Another man in the picture was also attacked after the photo was circulated on Facebook and other websites.
The others were verbally abused. All six of them have fled their homes for fear of further attack on them.
