We have just been informed about the ill health of Veteran Nollywood Actor, Elder Maya, who is presently languishing in pain because of an ailment he is battling with.
Reports gathered says that Elder Maya, who is arguably the longest surviving Nigerian actor, is down with a liver-related problem as the actor is down with a swollen leg, which we gathered causes pain to him too.
“The man has not been acting for a while now because of his condition and our people (Nollywood actors) have not shown interest in the old man. They are probably waiting for him to die before they started shedding crocodile tears they are well known for,” an actor said on Friday.
We gathered that a passionate call has been made to well-meaning Nigerians to contribute to saving Elder Maya.
The old man is well known for his village chief priest’s roles he acts in movies, which he interprets very well. He is believed to be over 100 years

A woman from Chivi has been charged to court after she was caught hiding a one-day old baby she stole in her bag. She appeared in court last week.
The incident happened at the Berejena Hospital, Zimbabwe.
It was gathered that Rester Mapombwa (31) stole the baby and placed it in a bag when she sneaked into the maternity ward at the hospital. The baby belonged to Tatenda Nhinga (18) of Masvingise Village under Headman Makamure in Chief Nemauzhe’s area.
Giving reason in court why she stole the baby, Mapombwa said she had lied to her husband that she was pregnant and as a first wife, she wanted to please her husband so that he would give her some money for the upkeep of the child, Masvingo Mirror reports.
As the first wife, she was not getting any attention from the husband. she had lied she was pregnant to make her husband give her little attention. But, the husband preferred to spend more time with the second wife. This infuriated Mapombwa.
So, she went to the maternity to steal the baby as the husband was now expecting her baby to be born. In a bid to cover up her lies, on April 26, 2016 at 1pm, Mapombwa went to the maternity ward masquerading as a relative to one of the mothers in the ward.
She then gained entry and in a bid to divert the attention of the mothers from their babies she lied to the women in the ward that their clothes had fallen from the washing line. When all the women had left the ward, she took a baby belonging to Nhinga and went away unnoticed.
However, her luck ran out after the baby’s mother raised alarm alerting hospital officials who found the baby in Mapombwa’s bag and was arrested. Nixon Chamisa prosecuted.
Mapombwa was sentenced to three-years imprisonment.
A man who has been dating his girlfriend of two years has revealed how she accepted a car gift from a ‘male friend’ and refused to return on his orders.
Is it true that every woman has a price tag? Well, read this post from Joro Olumofin about a man’s predicament before you take a stand.
The family of the victim has released Whatsapp snapshots which showed the late Ronke’s husband, Lekan, admitting to brutalising her, asking for God’s forgiveness and promising to stop beating her.
This is just as the man accused of dating Ronke, Kayode, has denied the allegation, saying he only had a professional relationship with the deceased.
51-year-old Lekan had allegedly killed his wife at their home in the Egbeda-Idimu area of Lagos State last Thursday. Lekan, a dockworker, had however denied complicity in the death, saying he never touched her.
He accused her of sleeping with Kayode, the general manager of a publishing company where she worked as the human resources manager.
After three days in hiding, the suspect gave himself up to the police and was taken to the State Department of Criminal Investigation, Yaba.
According to Punch Metro Kayode had denied the allegation.
A close family friend, who claimed to have spoken with him, explained that he said he had always been harassed by Lekan with messages and unfounded allegations.
He said, “We spoke yesterday (Tuesday) and he completely denied anything like that. He said he had proof of the man making all kinds of allegations against him and asking him to leave his wife alone, which he had never responded to. He said he was biding his time and would make all the revelations in due time.”
It was gathered that Kayode and Ronke’s brother, Jide, who died in a ghastly motor accident in July 2015, were friends.
After the death of Jide, Kayode, who was working in Ibadan, Oyo State, was said to have been transferred to Lagos by his company.
In Lagos, he was said to have struck a friendship with Ronke because of her late brother. Due to Ronke’s influence in the publishing company owned by her uncle, Kayode was said to have joined the publishing firm and was made the general manager.
Their friendship and the managerial positions were said to have made it possible for them to always travel and go out together.
Kayode was also said to have become close to Ronke’s uncle, who owned the firm.
It was learnt that both Kayode and Ronke had travelled to recruit new workers for the Abuja office, when the allegation of sleeping together was levelled against them.
Meanwhile, the family of Ronke has released Whatsapp snapshots, showing a conversation between Lekan and one of Ronke’s friends, Ashabi.
In a chat, he asked Ashabi to beg Ronke on his behalf, promising not to assault her again. He also claimed that the child brought to his home was a setup, denying the paternity of the baby.
Ashabi, in one of the chats, said Ronke was already slipping into depression, urging Lekan to become a better husband and father.
She said Ronke wept while talking with her because of the constant battery and public embarrassment.
Below are excerpts of some of the chats:
Lekan: Am sick and tired. Am going crazy. Please help me out. I rest my case. Am crying as I am writing this to you. But help me to talk to her. Aburo mi (my younger sister), I don’t want to lose her. I want her in my house forever.
Lekan: Because of God, please help me. Ha, I have really offended her. May God forgive me. Please you are my saviour, help me talk to her.
Lekan: I can have plenty of s*x outside, but I don’t want to fornicate again. Yes, just want my wife back. I swear to God, I will never touch her again.
Ronke’s friend: She is really broken and hurt, uncle. She said a lot. But I begged her and you have to keep showing her you are a better person, and you want your family back. It is not a day’s job uncle and you have to be patient with her and get her to trust and love you again. She is falling into depression which is more terrible.
One of Lekan’s friends, Sunday Nwaobi, said he had known him for about 33 years, adding that he had credibility and couldn’t have killed his wife.
He said, “He was my junior in secondary school and was a classmate to my immediate younger brother. My brother retired as a general manger of a brewery in America and they are best of friends. My brother is an American citizen, well travelled, and has met a lot of world leaders. I know he will never go out with somebody who does not have credibility.”
The Police Public Relations Officer, Lagos State, SP Dolapo Badmos, said the police were working on getting the result of the autopsy, adding that it would determine the command’s next line of action.
She said, “We are not in charge of the result and we can’t determine when it will be out. But I can assure you that we are on it and as soon as it is released, we won’t hide anything.”

Following the increase in the price of petrol from N86.50 to N145 per litre, oil workers in the country have called on the federal government to increase the new minimum wage from N18,000 to N90,000.
While commending the Federal Government for removing subsidy on petrol, they said that they would push for a new minimum wage demand of N90,000.
In joint statement issued by he National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) and the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association, they said …
“With the new pump price of N145 per litre, government must speed up the negotiation process for a new minimum wage of N90, 000 to cushion the effect of the envisaged inflation. As the price of fuel increases, there should also be an increment in workers’ salary as the old minimum wage of N18, 000 has no effect again,’’ they stated.
Lwkmd! When fuel is now #145 and yet NEPA is still disconnecting light!! You just gotta send them away mehn!!
This group of women were spotted tying what seems like voodoo, ‘Jazz’, as it’s fondly called, to a NEPA pole and it’s only speculated that they carried out the act so as to scare away the PHCN officials.

Veteran Actor, Movie Producer And Director, Adebayo Salami Has Opened Up On How He Found Himself A Patriarch Of A Big Family Of Men And Women With Interest In The Film Industry.
Arguably, head of a movie dynasty in Nigeria, his children have shown more than ordinary interest in the movie industry holding a lot of various departments exhibiting expertise, creativity and industry.
Blessed with 18 children, and 15 grandchildren, Adebayo Salami popularly known as Oga Bello in a chat with E24-7Magazine said polygamy has never been in his plan as a young man.
“I was so much in love with my wife, you can imagine that my life was such a predictable one, I mean from the house to the office and when I close at work, I will go to Zaad Supermarket where I will pick some items for my wife and later go home for my dinner. After that we go to the cinema or theatre.
Though he has always loved theatre but it was a passion that grew on him and overwhelmed him.
“Surprisingly, my passion for the theatre took a better part of me and I had to leave my job and joined the theatre practitioners.
“It was there that fame came and quite naturally, it came with women who were great admirers and you know, they actually added value by joining the theatre group and playing significant roles. I didn’t plan my life to be a polygamist but fate brought fame and I found myself here.
Asked if he feels successful or fulfilled having many children who have stepped into his shoes.
“Honestly the success or fulfilment in this circumstance, is in the fact that all these children come out well, morally and educationally. They have brought me joy unspeakable with their more than ordinary interest in their education. Maybe it would have been the other way if they had failed to be educated.
Perhaps he deliberately lured or encouraged them to go into the film making industry.
“I didn’t plan to have them in the theatre or filmmaking business. I’m sure they must have seen something exemplary, something worth emulating in my journey in life that influenced them to follow the path that I treaded in the arts.
Coincidentally, his wife popularly known as Mama Ejide is a foremost movie marketer/ distributor in Ebipenjo Lane, Lagos.
Suffice to say all the children, from the eldest Wale Adebayo to Femi, the famous actor and Special Adviser to Kwara State Governor on Arts to her sister Medinat, Rilwan,Tope, Olaitan, Sola, Omolara, Sodiq, Bukola, Akeem, Olayiwola, Titi, Olamide, Rasheedat, Kunle, Ahmed and Tobi.
All are graduates except Kunle and Tobi who are still undergraduates. Interestingly, 90 per cent of his children graduated from the University of Ilorin.
To Adebayo Salami , the task of governance is a challenge to all and when he was beckoned at to be involved in the novel idea of the Malete Film Village, “I graciously accepted to be involved because I have always loved to contribute my quota to the development and success of Kwara State.
When the news reached him that one of his children, Femi, a trained lawyer who found fame and relevance in acting had been appointed to serve Kwara State as a Special Assistant to Governor Ahmed, he said, his joy knew no bounds.
“I felt quite glad, happy that he was called to serve the state. I’m confident that he will deliver and daily, I pray that God gives him the knowledge to serve Kwara people effectively.”
Koko Master (Who still calls him that by the way? Lol) shared a picture of his mother on his Facebook Page yesterday while he thanked her for all her wise words and advise.
He captioned it: ‘Tbt , who sat and watched my infant Head while sleeping on my Cradle . Love you mom thanks for all your wise words’
He also took to his instagram yesterday, May 12th to celebrate his Dad as he turned a year older..
“And to the Real kokomaster, the one and only, my King, my perfect Role Model, my mentor, my Pastor, my father.
“Without you I wouldn’t be here nor even be rooted with the right Foundation knowing Christ is the way, truth and life. Thanks for the best Gift ever and for bringing this Fine Boy to this world . OooSssHhhEee. Love you dad . General on check one time. Salute.”
The photo also shows the stunning resemblance between the Nigerian superstar and his father, not to talk of the swag.
The “16 Years” singer has not hidden the fact that she has a different understanding of the christian religion. She does not believe in Jesus Christ and doesn’t read the New Testament.
As we all know, Mzbel has stated countless times that she doesn’t want to get married. According to her, she doesn’t want anyone to come and dictate to her.
It seems she’s now backing her posture biblically. According to RainbowRadioOnline, Mzbel who was speaking in an interview with Sokoohemaa on Rainbow Radio indicated that God asked man to multiply but did not say anywhere that man must marry at all cost.
“No am not afraid of marriage, but I cannot stand a man who is domineering or a dictator…Marriage is good and I will encourage anyone to get married only if you can deal with a domineering man. ‘Men’ cannot be trusted because they only pretend to love you and your children, but after marriage, they show their true identity. So I will not want to marry because God never said man must marry, rather multiply and that I have obeyed…Am yet to see a bible quotation which says God ordered man to marry at all cost,” she stated.
On the kind of men she likes to date, she stated that she likes to date men above the age of 45 but preferably 50. She said these men are matured, not arrogant, disciplined and impact her with knowledge.
“I’ll only date men from 45 and above but I prefer men at 50, since they impact knowledge into me. They are not arrogant, they are organized, disciplined and well-mannered and that’s the kind of men I want to date as a lady,” she added.
Just few hours after news of Kylie Jenner and Tyga’s split hit the net, E! News caught up with Tyga to see how he’s been doing since the breakup and he admitted:

But when it comes to his breakup with Kylie, an insider previously told E! News that “it was a long time coming.”
Two women have been nabbed after they staged the kidnap of their own mother and then gave a rather weird and funny excuse for the act.
Read On..
Emmanuel Ojukwu, the Enugu State Commissioner of Police, on Thursday, paraded two women, who allegedly stage-managed their mother’s kidnap.
Daily Post reports that they were arrested alongside the boyfriend to one of them.
According to Ojukwu “the suspects were arrested on a different date in connection with the purported kidnapping of one Mrs. Hannah Achime.
“One Monday Egbe, aged 30 years, was arrested and he confessed how the two of the victim’s daughters, Onyinyechi Achime and Akunna Achime invited him to the business to enable them collect money from their elder brother, one Mr. Eric Achime based in Lagos.
“Ransom of N2.5 million naira was demanded, while N500,000.00 was agreed to be paid, though nothing was paid. Suspects all confessed to the crime.”
While being interviewed by journalists, the two ladies claimed to have executed the crime as a last measure towards raising money for their mother’s medical treatment.
One of the suspects, a graduate of the Enugu State University of Science and Technology, who was to go for the National Youths Service Corps, by end of this month said “we have been begging our brother to bring money for our mother’s eye treatment but he refused.
“The eye problem became so much and we had no option; we decided to do that in order to raise money. We took her to a hotel at the Camp and paid for a room there.
“I brought my friend and he helped us in arranging the kidnap. He was the one calling our brother, but he refused to bring money; he said the kidnappers can eat her if they liked. We didn’t hurt her at all; it was all for our mum’s good, though we didn’t tell her.
“She got to know later, and she has been begging the police to drop the case. As we speak her medical condition is even getting worse.”
I was married to a man for 2 yeas and 8 months before my husband died and left me with our only son.
I suffered and raised my kid alone because I was neglected by my husband’s people. I returned to my parents when my husband’s people started making attempts to kill my son because of property. I left everything for them and took my son and ran.
My father and a few uncles returned the dowry.
My son is 14-years-old now and a man i have been in a relationship with for about 4 months now is asking my hand in marriage. I told him what happened to me and that I have a child. He said no problem, that he loves me not my past.
However the problem now is that he asked me not to let anyone in his family know that I have a child. I asked him why and he said his mother and family will not be in support if they find out that I have a grown-up son.
I have been thinking about the whole thing and I dont know what to do.
My mother-in-law to be is very nice to me and I know that she will be greatly disappointed if she finds out in the future that I hid such a thing from her. I also dont know if its wrong to deny my only son just to get married again.
People Magazine has confirmed that the Keeping up with the Kardashians star, 18, and the rapper, 26, are no longer together after nearly two years of dating.
This is the second publicized breakup of the famous couple.
Their last major public appearance was at the Met Gala on May 2.
It has been an interesting relationship journey for Kylie and Tyga. The pair started dating while she was legally below the age of consent and he had just ended his relationship with his then-fiance and mother of his son Blac Chyna who is now engaged and pregnant for Kylie brother Rob Kardashian.
Nadia Buari has a good relationship with her fellow actors but does not have one as a best friend, the actress has said.
Speaking to Bola Ray on Starr FM’s Starr Chat, Wednesday, the mother of twins said she has friends outside the showbiz circles but has none to pinpoint as a best friend in the industry.
She intimated that working with someone does not mean you will end up being friends.
“I have a great relationship with whoever I work with; I don’t have a best friend. I just have an amazing relationship with them. I have my friends outside the industry and so when I’m done, the fact that I’ve worked with you doesn’t mean we should be cool or we should be friends. But I do have great relationships when I’m working with them because that is the only way we can work in harmony but I don’t have a best friend,” she noted.
Nadia, however, dispelled assertions that she is arrogant. She argued that some people have misconstrued her shy nature as being anti-social.
“I think I am a weirdo, naturally sometimes I can be a nerd… I’m painfully shy and really nervous. A lot of people don’t believe that. They are like, ‘You are an actress and you are not supposed to be shy’ but I am extremely shy,” she said.
Adding, “I can’t start explaining to people that this is exactly how I am so you just take it as it is. It makes me feel bad because I feel like you need to get to know me before you can actually make all of these judgements.”
This has to be the most distubring thing I’ve seen and read all morning! Damn!
This Woman…(She’s a mother by the way) says her son makes her o,rga,sm. She says whenever she breastfeed her son, she mastz,urbate at the same time as she receives the best org,sm with the way her baby son sucks her n*pple.
Beautiful Ghanaian actress, Mother of 2, Nadia Buari has disclosed that the father of her twins is not a Ghanaian.
Nadia who appeared on Starr Chat was economical with information about who the father of her twins is.
“The father of my twins is not a Ghanaian,” she said.
When asked the nationality of the man, Nadia repeated that he is not a Ghanaian. She mentioned that she was protecting the father and her twins from the public because she rather chose to be a celebrity and sees no reason why they should be known.
