Billionaire heiresses, Temi Otedola and DJ Cuppy were featured in UK’s Daily Mail and referred to as “Britain’s new super-rich” as they currently lead a jet-set lifestyle and enjoy all the trappings of wealth.
In the article, Cuppy Otedola, said “when she is working in Nigeria she needs to travel with a security team in a bullet proof car due to the risk of robbery and kidnapping”.
This is the reason she is much happier in London and has recently moved into her own apartment there.
She also said “London is bliss as I can walk down Brompton Road without a worry in the world. In Lagos I can’t say “I am going out for two hours”, I have to go with people, take security, my dad needs to know where I am. None of my other DJ friends need security, it is kind of his fault so he has to pay for it”.
Her sister Temi, who is studying for a degree in art history at University College London, gave her own reason for loving London as “We have done Dubai and Paris but always come back to London. You have the luxury shops, luxury cars, luxury houses, you can spend the money you have worked hard making”.
In the afternoon of Tuesday, June 7, 2016, when Encomium paid a condolence visit to number 4, Olanrewaju Street, Chemist bus stop, Bariga, Lagos, in honour of adorable actress, Henrietta Kosoko, 52, who died in the morning of Monday, June 6, the atmosphere was sober.The widower, veteran actor Prince Jide Kosoko, 62, was distraught. He was being consoled by actors and marketers, but he appeared lost.
Dressed in white kaftan and slippers, Kosoko was mumbling and talking, in apparent distress.
He told those present, ‘Iyawo Keta; s’e awon aye oni m’aka fun mi?’ ( This is the third wife l have lost; won’t people be counting, keeping records?
Jide Kosoko reportedly also said,
“I went to a particular event on Monday (June 6), I was not aware that my wife was dead until the person that was with me asked me to check the rumours flying around the social media about my wife’s death.
I referred to it as rumour because I still didn’t believe, if not until I confirmed it myself. I don’t know how to explain the situation. It is an unimaginable loss. Third wife! Won’t the world count the numbers of lives I have lost?.”
Kosoko made the statement around 2:20 pm as we settled among sympathizers under the canopy.
In October 1992 and November 1993, he lost two wives in about 13 months, and described the episodes in an interview with Encomium Weekly when he turned 60 in June 2014 as a very sad period.
Oge Okoye has become more famous not just for her acting, but also for these latest photos which appears to indicate she was not wearing an underwear under her sports leggings.
Fans including fellow actress, Funke Akinddele, saw beyond her the workout as some even called her to bring the video down since it was exposing her body too much.
Some even clearly pointed out that the actress chose not to have her panties on just to seduce her instructor but Oge was just enjoying herself and needed breeze to penetrate in?
A young single mother, Joanna Michael who has a comfortable job in the medical line is currently looking for a husband with her criteria lowered to accommodate any available man for marriage.
Her courage has been saluted by her friends on social media as wishes of good luck graced her Facebook page.
Nigerians on social media were shocked with the news of an Igbo young man from Owerri, Imo State named Okoh Godwin voluntarily joining the Boko Haram sect which has been seeking to islamize Nigeria over the last 7 years.
The report was backed up with hard pictorial evidence of Godwin flaunting the traditional flag of the sect with an Islamic inscription coupled with a confessional video concerning his membership.
The disturbed Godwin has taken to a very popular online forum in Nigeria to reveal he was coerced into fronting himself as a Boko Haram terrorist in Borno State at gun point by a social media friend that promised to process his visa to the United States of America for a possible better life.
Read his response below:
“My name is Okoh Godwin. Sorry forgive my typing style. It all happened when a stranger added me on Facebook. We got to know each other, the’s guy names are Ayman Mills.
He told me he’s from the United States of America and I told him I would love to come to U.S. After our conversation, he introduced me to his mother who told me she is under this charity stuff that her son will help me with the visa. Ayman called me to come to Borno state to meet a friend who will help me with visa processing. These stuffs happened early last month.
I reached Borno state and he directed me to a hotel (Grand Pinnacles and Suite Hotel) where I waited for him for two days before showing up. There were up to four persons that came they took me to the back of the hotel on gunpoint. They gave me the writing to accept Islam and denounce my faith on gunpoint which I did. The guy collected my details on Facebook. I told them I forgot something on the park through which I ensured my escape when I was granted permission to leave.
I have to remake this video to clearify the stuff which is circulating.
Help me mod AM NOT A MUSLIM AND AM NOT A BOKO HARAM MEMBER..MY LIFE IS AT DENGER…IF YOU CAN TAKE IT DOWN. I WILL BE GREATFUL. This is my number 08038818436”
Okoh Godwin has made a counter-video to debunk the news. Watch it below:
New reports confirm that veteran actor Alex Usifo has bagged a PhD from Babcock University in Ogun State, and this comes days after the 63-year-old actor trended on social media because of his seeming absence from the movie scene, prompting conversation about him and what he has been up to.
According to this Naij report, Usifo achieved this new feat in education on Sunday, June 5.
Usifo ruled the screen with exceptional performances in series and films, including Ripples, The Return Of The Natives and Heaven’s Gate.
In 2011, Linda Ikeji Blog, reported that the veteran resumed work as a lecturer at Babcock University in Ogun State in 2011, where he taught the History & International Studies students. But it is unclear if he still is a staff of the private university.
Meanwhile, the actor who stars in mini-series, Dusk, where he plays a professor, is being congratulated by fans for the great feat.
Congrats to him, I want to be like him when I grow up…lol

Her condition degenerated into the Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS). She died in the morning of June 2nd. So sad.

EMBARGO ON ALL TERRY G’s SONGS
It is with due respect that we hereby call on your solidarity to the aforementioned situation. The Deejays Association of Nigeria (DJAN) through the disciplinary committee had over the years intervened on issues affecting our members and Musicians cum Artistes whenever our Rights are trampled upon and Mr Gabriel Oche Amanyi aka Terry G have been given verbal warning on several occasions in recent times.
On Sunday the 5th of June 2016 at the Muson Center, Lagos State, Nigeria, a music/comedy show held and Terry G was not among the artiste billed to perform, he begged the organizers until he was told to perform for seven minutes, but he got on stage already tipsy and after about 18 minutes on stage insulting everyone, the organizers asked the DJ to play a different song by another artist, no sooner had the song began to play that Terry G descended on the DJ who was the head DJ of Jatt Incorporated.

In an Instagram video making rounds on social media which has already gone viral online, we’re still wondering what in the world is going on with popular Nollywood actor, Charles Okocha, popularly known as Igwe Tupac?
The actor-turned comedian who had what appeared to be some sort of meltdown on his Instagram page, posted a video where he kept on saying repeatedly that he is going to shine some day, before suddenly breaking down in tears.
Watch the video below;

As expected, his fans and followers took over the comment section with hilarious reactions as they think his behaviour is the after-effect of smoking weed.
Police investigating the possible murder of a toddler in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, last week say witness overheard a woman threatening to kill a boy of similar age several days before the body was found.
The yet to be unidentified toddler, who police estimate was about 2 years-old was found face dowm in a pond with strangulation wounds in Chroy Changva district’s Bak Khengon Friday morning, June 3.
Bun Kimly, a penal police officer from Bakheng commune where the boy was found, said staff at Phnom Penh Referral Hospital found bruises on the neck of the boy, whose parents have not come forward.
A joint task force has been set up by the National Police and the Child Protection Unit (CPU) to investigate the death. CPU director James McCabe said this is the first time since the NGO began operating that no parent or caregiver had come forward to claim a murdered child as their own.
McCabe said the boy was found wearing red, green, yellow and blue pyjamas with cartoon bears on them. He added that it is believed the murder took place on June 1, two days prior to the boy’s discovery by two neighbourhood children.
Penal police officer Kimly said witnesses reported seeing a mentally unstable woman who said she was from Kampot carrying the boy to the pond.
“If you won’t come to meet me and our son, I will kill the child.” the woman was heard yelling, Commune police chief Mean Thorn said.
The woman also told locals that she had travelled to Phnom Penh from Kampot province in search of her husband who she suspected of having an affair but left in a hurry when she could not locate him.
“I know my husband has a girlfriend in Bak Kheng. That’s why I came looking for him here, but I don’t know where he is staying.” the woman said, according to Thorn.
Mrs. Roseline Sougie whose throat was reportedly slit by her husband, Jafaru Sougie, at their home at Oshodi, Lagos state on Friday May 27th, was buried yesterday June 6th.
The 45 year old mother of four was said to have been murdered by her husband over allegations of infidelity.
Image of the knife her husband used to slit her throat is seen below. After her death, her husband has since, been apprehended.
Boxing legend Muhammad Ali’s secret daughter on June 3rd, made a passionate plea to his family: “Let me see him one last time before he dies.”
Kiiursti Mensah Ali – who looks remarkably like the ex-world heavyweight champ – reveals she was the result of a 20-year affair her mum had with him in his heyday.
She claims a 1988 paternity test proves she is his child and that Ali agreed to having his name on her birth certificate.
Kiiursti, 33, also tells how the boxing star visited her and mum Barbara Mensah several times when she was little – and that she has become close to some of his other nine children.
But she says she was cut out of his life when he married his fourth wife Lonnie in 1986 – three years after he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease.
She told Daily Mirror:
“Muhammad Ali is my dad – but everything changed the moment he married her,” says Kiiursti.
“He stopped coming to see me. As the years went by he got sicker and sicker. She stopped him having a relationship with me. It’s been devastating.
“Now, I want to say goodbye to him before he dies. I want her to please let me have that chance. I’m not after his money. I don’t care about that. I make my own.
“All I want is to spend time with my father especially now he is so ill – but she has control of everything.”
And Kiiursti revealed she wants Ali to give her away when she weds. During our interview, she flicks through family photos showing her as a child with the fighter who became The Greatest in the 60s and 70s.
She reveals how her mum Barbara first met him when she was a 17-year-old high school beauty in Houston, Texas, in 1967.
Kiiursti says:
“Mom told me he spoke to her at her school. He was 22 and all the girls were approaching him, giving him the line, ‘I’m the greatest or I’m the prettiest’.
“But mom just stood in the crowd, arms folded. He noticed her and asked, ‘Don’t you know who I am? I’m the king of the world’.
“But she shrugged and said, ‘I don’t care. I’m the queen of the world’. It was a devastating blow to his ego. He made sure my mom was given his number.”
Kiiursti says Barbara, now 68, called him and was invited to a party – but arrived to find out there were just the two of them there.
At the time, Ali was still married to first wife Belinda Boyd but soon he and Barbara were swept up in an affair.
His secret love went to all his big fights including the Thriller in Manila against Joe Frazier, the Rumble in the Jungle versus George Foreman and a title defence in Puerto Rico in 1976.Barbara was even pictured in Life Magazine next to Ali for a special edition when he refused to go to Vietnam.
Kiiursti says:
“I think my mum still loves him to this day. She was the only one who stood up to him. He was the love of her life. At the time, the press knew they were together a lot, but they just didn’t know how close they had become.
“They never really stopped seeing each other ever, until Lonnie came along and made him cut ties with us.”
By the time Kiiursti was born, Ali already had eight children and an adopted ninth from three marriages and two other affairs. Kiiursti claims he never denied he was her father.
His name was put on her birth certificate and he managed to find time for her, despite his busy workload and hectic personal life.
She says Ali would secretly fly to Houston to see her and her mum…
“He saw me as a baby and a child,” she says. “I remember when I was three or four, he would come and stay at a hotel downtown.
Dad would spend time with my mom, then with me. We’d go to Showbiz Pizza and I’d have double cheese pizza. He’d put me on his shoulders.
“He was happy. I was happy. He’d pay mom maintenance when we saw him. He was a good father.
“The people in the hotels knew what we were doing. So did his entourage. His adviser knew, his assistant trainer knew – all of them knew. It was no big secret to them and he didn’t care.”
Then he married Lonnie Williams in 1986. Since then the Ali family has been at war. And she has a special reason for hoping her plea works soon.
She says:
“I’m just about to get married to a wonderful man and I would love my dad to meet him.
“I don’t care if he needs pushing down the aisle, I’d want him to give me away. That would make it perfect if dad was there. It would be wonderful.”
The world of fashion has really gone far in this 21st century though…. There are so many accessories in the fashion world you could use to help you look your best.
The man in the photo above is actually bald but thanks to a dread lock wig, he looks like one fly twenty year old OG, rather than he looking like a 40 year old without the wig!
Classic woman! Beautiful actress, Oge Okoye, looks like she could never go wrong while making a fashion statement as she donned this gorgeous blue outfit.
She looks like a smart business billionaire woman! *Winks*
One of the reasons why I feel she’d do this is probably because her kid asked her to! You know kids now, tey won’t let you rest till you do what they want.
The lady in the photo above can be seen shopping for sneakers while she had her daughter inside a transparent bag…
Lovely Nollywood actress, Ebube Nwagbo took to her Instagram few moments ago to fire at critics who are condemning her slim and slender bod.

News about 4-year-old, Musa who is a victim of domestic violence and had his body mutilated by his step-mother is one with quite an heartache.
