Vector Mistakes Late Pete Eneh For Pete Edochie During Tribute Performance at #LLAM3

vector

Rapper Vector Tha Viper had a goof at the Love Like A Movie 3 concert which held at the Eko Convention Centre, Eko Hotels & Suites.

The concert was organized by Darey Art Alade, and featured performances from a select number of artistes including headliners Darey and Ciara.

A segment of the show’s numerous performances featured a tribute session, where Vector, with backup vocals from Sammy, rapped a tribute to all the deceased Nigerian entertainers, and contributors to performing art.

The performance was modelled with Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth’s hit single ‘See you again’.

Darey’s late father, Art Alade was mentioned, and so were Sam Loco, Art Alade, Amaka Igwe, J.T Tom West, Justice Esiri, Junior and Pretty, Fatai Rolling Dollar, Dagrin, Goldie, Orlando Owoh, Fela Kuti, Kefee, Sunny Okosun, Zara Gretti, Pete Eneh, and many others.

The performance was set up in a way which was in sync with Vector’s rap, and as he called names, the screen switched to match the name.

All was well until the final part of the session where he mistook Pete Eneh for Pete Edochie. The rapper screamed “Pete Edochie”, while Pete Eneh smiled down on him from the screen. The audience reacted with screams, but the rapper continued, naming him thrice.

The rapper had come out on twitter to explain what happened, stating that he didn’t wish Pete Edochie dead, and it was a “misunderstood line”.

“I’m done with the Super Eagles” – Emmanuel Emenike

West Ham FC of England’s darting striker, Emmanuel Emenike has ruled out the possibility of returning to the Super Eagles, following the exit of the team’s former chief coach, Sunday Oliseh.

Emenike revealed to Sportinglife on Sunday night that he did not quit the Eagles because of any form of rift with the team’s former coach stressing: “I’m done with the Super Eagles, and I am making it clear again that I am not going back.”

According to Emenike:

“It’s my decision and I am not going to reverse it, I am sorry if I have offended anybody regarding this but no Eagles return for me.

“Like I said, I didn’t quit because of anybody, it was a personal decision. Oliseh didn’t force me out of the Super Eagles as it was reported, I dont need anybody to speak with me before I take a decision. It was my decision and I won’t reverse it.

Police nab Kenyan woman who chopped off husband’s penis

Woman-accused

Kenyan police have apprehended a woman who allegedly chopped off her husband’s genitals after a domestic tiff in Mombasa.

The accused, 32-year-old Mrs Pauline Mukiri, was arrested in Kiembein as she planned to flee on Saturday evening, and is being detained at the police station in the district of Bamburi.

“She is being questioned and we hope to arraign her for murder Monday,” Kisauni OCPD Richard Ngatia said.

The unfortunate victim, Mr Alloys Matata, 36, died while receiving treatment at Yeshua Medical Centre in Bamburi.

The dispute ensued when the six-month pregnant woman went to a nearby bar where Matata was having a drink and started a quarrel over his repeated nights out.

Eyewitnesses claim the couple went back home and shortly afterwards they heard the man screaming.

“We found him lying in a pool of blood in one of the rooms,” said a neighbor, Mr Kennedy Kyalo, who took Matata to hospital.

“We know the man is a drunkard. The two quarrel every now and then but the row degenerated into violence today,” Mr Kyalo said.

“The woman has been complaining for the past several days about her husband’s behaviour.”

This is yet another bizarre story to emanate from the East African country after an aggrieved man set his family ablaze over a minor dispute last month.

‘Why I would never wear short skirts,’ – Actress Ireti Osayemi Reveals

ireti-osayemi

Nollywood actress, wife and mother, Ireti Osayemi Bakare has revealed why she would never be caught wearing short skirts or skimpy attires except for a movie role.

In a recent chat with Punch Newspaper, Ireti, who was born in Liberia and got into acting after getting her first role in an Emeka Duru movie, said her mother would frown at her outfits when they are too skimpy or small.

“It is because of my background. My mother would never allow you to expose your body. I don’t feel comfortable in them. I would not like a situation whereby I would be sitting down but I would need to pull my skirt down at intervals. I would not want to go through that stress because I would not be comfortable in my own skin. I would rather put on something that I know I am okay in,” the Oro Ana actress disclosed.

The Jenifa actress also disclosed that she dumped modeling and beauty pageant for acting because her mother frowned at such exposure which the industry brings to a female child.

Ronaldo Blasts Madrid Teammates, Says They Are Not On His Level

cr7

Real Madrid’s record goal scorer Christiano Ronaldo, has told reporters that his team-mates at the club are not on his level, after they were beaten 1-0 by city rivals Atletico on Saturday.

Antoine Griezmann scored the only goal of the game in the second half, as Diego Simeone’s men opened up a four-point gap in second place.

Speaking after the game at the Santiago Bernabeu, Ronaldo blamed his team-mates for their miserable title challenge.

“If everyone was as good as me, maybe we would be first,” he declared.

“If a team does not play with the best, it is difficult to win a long competition. I don’t want to insult anyone.

“I do like playing with Karim [Benzema], with [Gareth] Bale, Marcelo, I am not saying that others are not good, for example Danilo has today been the best on the pitch.

“It annoys me that they say that Cristiano has dropped his level, and that is why Madrid have dropped their level,” he said. “If they were all at my level we would be first. You always ask me these crappy questions — it seems that here in Spain, I am in the s—.
“The numbers do not lie. Statistics never trick you — it is easy.”

Ronaldo later clarified his comments by telling Marca that he meant his teammates have not been as injury-free as he has been this season.

Governor of Lagos, Akinwunmi Ambode yesterday graced the Golden Jubilee Grand reunion of FGC, Warri, his alma mater.

At the event, Ambode said all the knowledge and discipline impacted in him during his secondary school days in the college contributed largely to who he is today, just as he urged his old school mates to come together and ensure the vision of the school was kept alive. The governor said:

“Indeed, my becoming a governor can be attributed to what I gained and learnt from this school. We must come together, all of us to ensure that the vision of the establishment of the school must not die.

So it is a great honour to all of us to return here after decades and celebrate this 50th anniversary. We are benefiting from the vision planted years ago.

I want to assure the principal that we are going to bring back the good old days of this school. I wish all the students well and pray that you all be better and more successful than all of us here today.

I like to say a big welcome to seniors and juniors. One great thing about this school is that no matter what you become in life your senior remains your senior.”

Yvonne Nelson and John Dumelo Finally Bury The Hatchet

jh

Besties, Yvonne Nelson and John Dumelo have finally decided to bury the hatchet. They cannot be separated. The two are back together, and what ever divided their strong bond doesn’t exist no more.

Recall that last May, the former best friends who many people, on many occasions assumed were dating, got into a very public and messy fight during the #DumsorMustStop campaign championed by the actress.

Yvonne had accused John of kissing their president’s ass and refusing to join the campaign against the inadequate supply of electricity in Ghana, and John fired back at her on Twitter.

The two besties dragged themselves on the social media platform, and the feud was so messy that they both deleted all their intimate memories from their social media platforms.

But the former best friends have offered each other the olive branch. Yesterday, at an event in Ghana, the stars stepped out together and event recorded a clip together.

Robert Mugabe’s $1million 92nd Birthday Party Sparks Criticism in Zimbabwe

CcNAAP2UcAAlGl-

Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe days ago marked his 92nd birthday at a $1.1 million party organised by his supporters.

This party has however drawn criticism from his opponents who said the celebrations in the drought-stricken country was an affront to his countrymen. Mr Mugabe, Africa’s oldest leader, turned 92 on February 21 and thousands of his party supporters gathered to pay tribute to the country’s only leader since independence from Britain in 1980.

He has shown no intention of stepping down. Mr Mugabe, who was accompanied by his wife, Grace, and their children, released 92 balloons and sat listening to poetry readings, songs and chants by supporters hailing him as an African icon and a visionary.

_88479898_031695084-1

A giant cake made to look like the ancient ruins for which Zimbabwe is named was set out in a nearby marquee. School children, foreign diplomats, government ministers and security chiefs were also present.

Pupurai Togarepi, ZANU-PF’s youth leader said 50,000 people were expected to attend and defended spending $1.1 million on the birthday celebrations.

Money is not the issue here. You cannot put a price on the contribution of President Mugabe to the history and development of this nation. All these things are worth more than money,” Mr Togarepi told Reuters.

_88479540_031602257-1

The opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) however called the celebrations “obscene”. They said:

“The obscenity of this particular exercise is that he throws this bash not just based on public funds… but he does it in one of the worst-affected drought-stricken parts of the country.

ZANU-PF should be utterly ashamed of hosting an expensive birthday bash for their aging ruler whilst more than 90 per cent of Zimbabweans are wallowing in grinding poverty caused by decades of Robert Mugabe’s misrule and mismanagement of the economy.

The money that is being budgeted for this ill-conceived birthday bash should actually be used to import maize to avert the impending starvation in Masvingo province and other parts of the country.”

Critics blame Mr Mugabe for many of the problems facing the country.

OAP Freeze Questions Jumoke’s Rise to Fame, Compares Her with Daniel who Had a 5.0 CGPA

12728467_1511413925831912_1273236087_n

Cool FM On Air Personality, Daddy Freeze just shared the below post on his instagram page and he’s asking why Ayodele Daniel Dada who graduated with a perfect CGPA of 5.0 wasn’t as celebrated as bread seller turned model, Olajumoke Orisaguna.

Read:

‘POVERTY MENTALITY’
When are Nigerians going to celebrate real achievements?

On the left is Mr. Ayodele Daniel Dada the first Nigerian to finish university with a perfect CGPA of 5.0 and on the left is Mrs. Olajumoke Orisaguna a ‘former’ bread seller.

Before Ayodele, no one had ‘EVER’ finished with a perfect CGPA in UNILAG!!! Since it was established in 1962, he made history by becoming the first to achieve such a commendable feat!

Now, so many questions come to mind. How come my dear friend Kunbi of ‘April with Kunbi’ hasn’t styled him or recommended him for styling? How come CNN hasn’t done a story on him? How come his life isn’t documented on blogs daily? How come he isn’t a brand ambassador for any product?

The questions are ceaseless.

Ciara put up a post of an equally beautiful traffic hawker selling some type of fruit yesterday and she was described, in Ciara’s own words as ‘beautiful and talented’. If these two ‘hawker beauties’ were discovered less than 2 months apart, it means that beautiful girls that hawk commodities aren’t in short supply in Lagos.

While people who finish with with a 5.0 CGPA are almost non existent! It took 54 years to produce the first one!
While Olajumoke and this other lady are rough stones that could be polished to achieve a lustrous shine, Ayodele is a true jewel, a rare yellow diamond in its truest and purest form.

Let’s not let our ‘poverty mentality’, that makes things of lesser importance seem valuable, cloud our judgement. I have no objection to polishing stones to bring out their shine, but please let’s not do it at the expense of gems of inestimable value!

The outcome of our future depends largely on ‘what’ or ‘whom’ we invest in. If Japan, Switzerland or America invested their time and money in pretty bread sellers, we won’t have the brains behind their automotive, aeronautic, horological or financial achievements today.

I’m not saying we shouldn’t celebrate Olajumoke o! Before people call me a hater but like hell we must celebrate Ayodele first! Just my thought on a Saturday evening~FRZ

5 Things You Only Remember Doing If You Were Raised In Nigeria

A little nostalgia has never killed anyone.

When we were younger, there were some funny things we did and now that I think about it, we had some crazy funny reasons for doing them. We somehow believed that these things helped us one way or the other.

1. Writing your name in your pen so that it doesn’t get stolen

It eventually got stolen most times but well, we kept writing.

pen
