Newly married media personality is showing us that she’s still got it even after getting married! Lol… don’t mind me… what difference does it make? If you have a smoking body like this before you get married, what could make it change when you get married?
Guess Toolz is in the spirit of Valentine as she dons this gorgeous red outfit.
A mother-of-three reportedly chopped off her brother-in-law’s genitals before handing them in as evidence at a police station in India.
The 32-year-old woman took officers aback when she entered the station in the Sidhi district of Madhya Pradesh, clutching the severed organ.
The woman, accompanied by her three children, told officers that it was the only way to stop her brother-in-law attacking her.
The woman was staying with her brother-in-law as her husband worked more than 700 miles away, in Nashik, Maharashtra. But he had allegedly assaulted her many times while she stayed in his house.
She told police that she faked consent when her brother-in-law attacked her, before hacking off his privates with a sickle.
Before the police were able to get medical support to the injured man, he had already committed suicide, reports the Times of India.
His body was reportedly found hanging from a tree near their house.
Last Saturday, February 6th, the Abuja police force disrupted a gay wedding between the two men seen in the picture above.
The awkward marital bliss between Abdul Lawal (right) meant to be the husband and Umar Tahir (left) the wife, ought to have been held at a popular hotel in Jiwa Community of Abuja, King’s Land Hotel in Abuja.
After being tipped by a source, the police laid siege at the venue of the wedding.
Guests had already started arriving the venue of their wedding which was well decorated and as soon as the bride and groom, both from Kaduna state, arrived at the venue, they were immediately arrested and taken to the Gwagwa Police Station where they were detained.
According to eyewitnesses, other people, including the sponsors of the wedding, chairman of the occasion and the owner of the hotel were also arrested during the raid.
The sponsors of the marriage were named as Abubakar Tahir and Mohammed Sani.
Yoruba actress, Liz Anjorin, has successfully carved a niche for herself in the Nigerian movie industry, but she is one person that will not accept insolence from anybody.
She is one of the most respected actress with great repute, but suddenly people are beginning to question if the reputation she has successfully built for herself all this year’s do not matter to her, or maybe she has been living a fake life and leading people wrongly about her.
As a celebrity, you are in a glass house, and those that live in a glass house don’t throw stones. Recently a makeup artiste accused the actress of threatening her life and that of her unborn child.
Well it just would have been another rumor, but she tendered the chat she had with Liz on BBM as evidence. The problem was said to have started when Liz invited her on set as a makeup artiste, after the day’s work she was given 200 Naira and the actress pleaded to make it up to her the next day.
The next day, Liz gave her 500 Naira, and that pissed the make-up artiste off, she told the actress to pay her or risk making her leave the set, which she eventually did, as the actress didn’t pay up.
That action stirred the anger of the popular actress, causing her to reign all sort of insult and curses on the lady, out of fear, the lady cried out for help, saying the actress threatened to take her life and that of her unborn child.

After endless Internet hype, Kanye West finally debuted his new album, The Life of Pablo, and the latest iteration of his Yeezy fashion line at a kinetic event Thursday afternoon at Madison Square Garden. And, while we still don’t have an explanation for the titular Pablo — or know definitively when and where the album will appear for widespread consumption, for that matter — West and his creative team engineered a spectacle that was in turn bizarre, inspired, and astounding.
Read on for some of the highlights from Madison Square Garden and Yeezy Season 3.
1. The event’s merch line was daunting, to say the least
The first thing to stand out at the Garden show — besides the eerily empty sections of the stands that never quite filled up — were the enclosed structures with diamond-plate aluminum siding sprinkled throughout the concourse.
These were how Yeezy Season 3 did merch tables and before the afternoon’s events began, dozens of attendees waited impatiently to get their hands on apparel branded with “I feel like Pablo.” (The text was a reference not only to The Life of Pablo, but to a line West repeats on “No More Parties In L.A.,” the new, Kendrick Lamar-featuring song that he cut from his album at the eleventh hour.) But if the $90 price tag on hoodies didn’t deter potential buyers, the sales pace did: Each stark store only had room for one vendor, and passersby could overhear those in line berating venue staff out of fear they’d miss the main attraction.
The TV Producer, lawyer and music talent agent shared his opinion on his Facebook page.
At the risk of sounding like a hater, I am genuinely nervous as I read and watch this amazing story of a bread seller, who unknowingly strolls into a Tinie Tempah photoshoot, caught the eye of photographer TY Bello, and almost overnight becomes a global talking point. I must say also, that I absolutely love it.
This type of story gladdens everyone’s heart and serves as inspiration to millions of people that despite your current situation, your good fortune is just round the corner and never lose hope in life.
But, I can’t help but look beyond the fairytale and feel a sense of apprehension at the same time. In my line of work, my job is to look where no one else is looking when it comes to negotiating contracts, maximising earning potential for talent, and pretty much protect such talent, and I pray to God there’s someone doing that for this girl. I have discovered and developed raw talent in my time, some from unknown status to superstardom.
I have met others half way in their progression and developed together, but one thing I’ve never done is base anything on sentiment or “eeeyah”, or “Na only Baba God o…” etc, I am sometimes the one to bring up the unpleasant reality, the reality no one understands until years later.
But I always feel it’s best to understand the whole picture and be prepared for whatever happens next.
When I saw that this Olajumoke girl couldn’t even speak or read English, my first concern was she’s going to be bewildered by a lot of things, especially in the fashion and modelling world in Nigeria.
Then the sudden fame and spotlight, which often times can confuse ‘experienced’ talent. There’s also the clamour for her time, makeovers, interviews, and of course the good stuff, endorsements, jobs, goodwill offers and donations (I hear she has 2 kids already).
I’ve seen her take pictures, holding up a Contract (which I hope has been explained to her well as she can’t read it), then the makeovers with heavy make up and lipstick (she looks nothing like the sweet girl we all fell in love with).
Forgive me I’m not a designer o, seeing her dressed in some shine shine outfits, I start to wonder, firstly I hope she’s getting paid well at least, and secondly, most people are only absorbing her story, as most of us don’t really know much about characteristics that suggest a great modelling career.
I really do hope and pray that, whatever happens to Olajumoke from now on, she is well protected. The fashion and modelling industry (in Nigeria or anywhere in the world) can be the worst place you wanna be when “they” decide you’re no longer happening or trending, or worse, not useful anymore.
You wanna bet that some other models are already beefing her already? And another thing, when the same people who are “tapping into her anointing” now, start to write really disgusting and hurtful comments about her (anonymously of course) on blogs because her own is now getting too much, I hope she has a strong support system in the people that really love and care for her. But for now, Olajumoke ride on and God bless you.
Anyway, that’s my own. Me too I need to go and sell my proverbial bread in the market.
It’s a classic case of being in the right place at the right time. A young street seller oblivious to the scene ahead, her wares perched atop her head, photobombed a shoot and in that split second her life changed forever.
Jumoke Orisaguna is a mother of two who used to walk the streets of Lagos selling bread. Originally a hairstylist from Osun State, south west Nigeria, she was struggling to make ends meet, and left her husband and two children in their home town to become a street vendor in the economic capital.
Working from 2:30pm to 11:00pm selling bread, Jumoke would make less than $20 each day –with a profit of around $1.
Now she’s about to become a top model; signed to a modeling agency and gaining international fame and prominence.
Renowned Nigerian photographer TY Bello is behind the change in Jumoke’s fortunes. TY was photographing UK popstar Tinie Tempahwhen Jumoke walked into shot.
‘She seemed a little confused,’ says Bello. ‘Some people were asking her to walk past really quickly, others were asking her to stay, she was just in limbo. I said ‘is it ok to take your photograph?’ And she nodded ok.’
‘I didn’t think I made a great image,’ Bello says, but once she posted the shots on social media, interest in Jumoke exploded.
‘When the photographs landed for the first time on social media, everyone immediately thought she was a model,’ Bello explains.
‘No one believed she just walked past. It occurred to me that if everyone thought she should be a model then maybe she should be one, then the search for her began.’
A contract with Few Models followed and soon Jumoke’s face will appear on billboards after landing a lucrative contract.
Long term future
‘I never expected this would ever happen to me,’ says the erstwhile bread seller. ‘My friends have told me they saw me on the TV and they are really happy. My parents cannot believe their own child can become such a success. They are all so happy.’
Now the mum of two has been given a scholarship to complete her education, and a bank has offered to pay for schooling for her two children, aged five and one, until university age.
‘Everyone connected with the story because everybody has dreams,’ argues Bello. ‘This is a very tough time in my country… Everyone is looking for that magical break… I think this is definitely divine because the way people have connected with it is just phenomenal. It’s a phenomenal story.’
Chris Brown is the subject of a lawsuit accusing him of battery, theft and defamation, by a woman – Liziane Gutierrez – who claimed the singer punched her in the face during a party in Las Vegas last month.
The woman has filed documents in Clark County, Nevada in which she states she went into Chris’ room at the Palms Hotel and Casino, only for someone – either the 26-year-old star or someone in his crew – hit her in the ‘face and/or arm and/or hands’.
The theft accusation relates to her claim someone in the room took her cell phone, while battery stems from a video posted by the ‘Yeah 3x’ hitmaker calling her ‘too ugly’ to be at his party, TMZ reports.
However, his representative insisted that Liziane was escorted out of the star’s private after party for ‘being disruptive and out of control.’
A teenage boy who was said to have sneaked out of the grounds of his boarding school in India so he could meet up with this parents was so badly beaten as a punishment that he died, his family had claimed.
Police in the district of Murshidabad in West Bengal state confirmed they were investigating the claims made by the parents of 13-year-old Shamim Mullick and had arrested the school’s owner and headteacher.
According to the boy’s mother Bibi and father Julhas, they had dropped him off at the Al Islamia Mission School in the village of Majlishur.
Three days later the parents returned to the village to visit the boy to drop off some stationary they had bought for him. He sneaked out of the school grounds to meet up with his mother and father just 100 metres from the facility, but when he returned, he was badly beaten as a punishment for not asking for permission to leave.
Police confirmed that instead of being taken to a nearby hospital for his injuries, Shamim was instead taken to a nursing home, which is also owned by the same people who run the school.
It was only when his condition worsened he was actually taken to a hospital in the city of Murshidabad, where doctors told police he was dead on arrival.
His devastated parents said they only got a call at midnight from the hospital to say that their son had died, but they had not been warned by the school he had been injured.
Shamim’s father Julhas said:
‘He was our only son. We work hard so that we can send him to school because we wanted him to get a better education.’
While his mother Bibi added they wanted punishment for the teachers responsible saying:
So this quite curvy actress, Halima Abubakar was one of the very many distinguished guests who were at Rita Dominic‘s new movie premiere, Suru’Lere, last night.
And like many other female celebrities, the actress didn’t fail to turn heads at the event as she donned a figure hugging glittery dress showing off her derriere.
There was P.D.A between this pair as they were spotted on their way to dinner. Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom looked like they’ve been on to something for a while now as they looked so close to each other and were even holding hands.
They seemed so comfortable with each other as they headed to dinner after Kanye‘s Yeezy 3 show. Though Khloe is still insisting that there is nothing between them, you can’t deny the chemistry still there.
Earlier today, Mavin first lady, Tiwa Savage ran into award winning Nollywood actor, Odunlade Adekola at an event in Lagos and she couldn’t help but take a selfie with the talented actor.
The mother of one shared the selfie on Instagram saying she was shy at first.
She wrote, ‘Guess who I met today. My husband is so jealous lol because Boss Odunlade Adekola is one of his favorite actors. I was shy sitting next to him but eventually summed up the courage to ask for a selfie. Such an honor’.

Foluke Daramola and her hubby, Kayode, have endured so many rumours concerning the breakup of their marriage and yet, it seems the union keeps waxing stronger.
Probably to shut the lips of rumour mongers, Saturday Beats gathered that the actress and her husband would be heading to a marriage registry to legalize their love.
Though they have been living together for four years, the couple only had a traditional wedding.
When Saturday Beats reached out to the busty actress, she confirmed the news.
She added they are going to the registry to renew the love she shared with her beau.
She said, “The reason we decided to go to the marriage registry today is because it aligns with the Valentine’s Day’s season and mood.
Love is in the air and this is the perfect time to renew our love. We did our traditional wedding on February 15, 2014 on the same day as my birthday.
An atmosphere of love is around and we feel it is the perfect time to go to the registry and document our marriage properly.
“We decided to go to the registry because we see it as a renewal of our love. Also, for documentation purpose, it is better we go to a marriage registry because traditional marriage is not really recognised and it does not have any certification to that effect.
It is our own way of celebrating Valentine. It took us four years to decide to go to the marriage registry because we felt it was necessary to have proper documentation. We are doing this to perfect our marriage.
The number of years it took us to do this does not matter as the most important thing is that we are doing it.”
Tales of pregnancy have also trailed the actress but she seized the medium to clear the air.
“I am not pregnant and I wonder who started the rumour. Even if I was pregnant, as an African woman, I will not announce it and when I eventually give birth, everybody would know,” she said.
If recent happenings are anything to go by, it’s safe to say Nigerian pastors are beginning to match up with their foreign counterparts.
A video of Pastor Sunday Johnson Olakolu Great of the Jesus City Salvation & Prayer Mountain, Abeokuta, Ogun State, going round, shows how he decreed call credits into the phones of congregants.
In the video, the pastor had said he wanted to show his members how powerful God is.
He then directed them to bring out their phones and he prayed that God should credit the phones.
Immediately after the prayer, testimonies started pouring in.
A member testified that before the prayer, she had only N9 call credit but after the prayer, she saw N750. Another one testified that she had N50 but after the prayers, she saw N100.
Recall, we reported of recent that Nollywood actress, Monalisa Chinda was set to marry a mystery man this February, but she tried her possible best to keep the story away from social media to avoid media frenzy. Well, it did get out.
Apparently, last night, the intimate traditional marriage ceremony was held in River State, and her mystery partner has been identified as Tonye Victor.
The event was held in her father’s compound, in Elelenwo, Port Harcourt, in Rivers State.
This is Monalisa Chinda’s second marriage.
The 41-year-old TV host was previously married to TV producer Segun Dejo-Richards, but the union failed after she found out he was still married to another woman.
Nollywood Director and Popular critic – Charles Novia has something to say on the whole Jumoke’s Fame Brouhaha. He penned down an interesting article on his website titled: OLAJUMOKE’S UNLEAVENED BREAD AND THE OVEN OF OPPORTUNISTS
I have written glowingly about the Olajumoke duckling-to-swan story a few days back on my facebook page and praised those whose hands were compelled by the benevolence of fate to change her life.
However, I’m a bit uncomfortable with the overexposure of the young lady to the media. That’s just me but from experience it may have unpleasant consequences if it it not well-managed.
I agree that she should enjoy her newfound fame within the ambits of the international attention she’s receiving presently but I can’t help thinking too that she’s walking into a treacherous terrain with much of that overexposure.
Questions to be asked are: who is her manager? Does she have one and is she being psychologically preened for the after effects of this exposure?
What’s her state of mind in the midst of this euphoria? Given that she has been ducked into a somewhat positive maelstrom of media machineries, is she being prepared for when a time would come when she might not be the flavour of the moment?
Because I think she’s trending right now as a distraction to the realities we face in the socio-economic sector.
Nigerians need something positive for once to make them forget the harsh realities of the drudgery of our individual existentialism in the present scheme of things. And Olajumoke is the perfect and beautiful distraction.
But we are going to be bored very soon. And when that happens, who will cushion her expectations when things slow down? A modeling agency is just an agency and not a management agency. Who would manage her realities?
Yes, we have all bought her bread ( pun not intended) and eaten slices off her loaf of inspiration.
But wherein she was a slice of life a few days ago as a nondescript trudger of the survival path, we all are now partakers in the breaking of her whole loaf.
Olajumoke has to be careful. She has a family. She has a husband. From empirical antecedents, the marriage is usually the first casualty of this kind of invasion of privacy. It happens all the time.
If the young lady loved her husband as a bread seller, she should be encouraged to strengthen that love now that she’s literally a bread bringer to the home. Because she would soon start mixing with the hawkish lot who would soon start whispering serpentine advice into her ears.
It happens all the time. Beyond the media glare would be a fundamental introspection of her future with the spouse.
And that’s where the crunch lies.
The media is all pleasant and powerful when it comes to pushing the Olajumokes of this world to new heights. But the media gives with one hand and takes with the other.
My suggestivism does not in any pre-suppose an impending doom but alerts on an intending loom.
The live of the Bread Seller is presently brought to us closer through a whimsical telescope. It won’t be long before the want of more sensationalism would put her life under a selfish microscope.
Stories would soon be cooked up or exaggerated about her, just to suit the media.
It happens all the time.
That’s why she must be the person at this point in her life to take charge of her narrative.
She must hold on the yeast of her future while we munch on the dough.
Her life was unleavened just a few weeks ago.
