Nicki Minaj confronted MTV Video Music Awards host Miley Cyrus during the awards ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday night while accepting the award for best hip-hop video.

While accepting the award for Best Hip-Hop video, Nicki Minaj made it a point to call out the emcee of the event in Los Angeles for some comments she had made just days later.

The 32-year-old rapper hit out at Miley toward the end of her speech as she said: ‘And now back to this b**** that had a lot to say to me in the press. What’s good?’

22-year-old Miley who was standing on a different platform on-stage replied by saying: ‘We are all in this industry, we all do interviews and we all know how to manipulate. Nicki congratulations.’

Nicki was referring to Miley’s recent interview with the New York Times newspaper where the host commented on Nicki’s recent social media beef as she said: ‘What I read sounded very Nicki Minaj, which, if you know Nicki Minaj is not too kind. It’s not very polite.

‘I think there’s a way you speak to people with openness and love,’ she said.

‘You don’t have to start this pop star against pop star war. It became Nicki Minaj and Taylor in a fight, so now the story isn’t even on what you wanted it to be about.’

Nkem Owoh Says Government Pays Less Attention To Nollywood

osu

Popular Nollywood actor, Nkem Owoh, also known as Osuofia, on Friday urged the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration to formulate policies that would make the Nigerian film industry to contribute to the nation’s economic development.

Osuofia told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the country’s movie industry was capable of contributing more to the nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) if given the necessary support than it was currently doing.

NAN reports that Nollywood, as the Nigerian film industry is christened, is said to be worth about three billion dollars annually, better than Hollywood by volume, and right behind India’s Bollywood.

The actor added that lack of adequate government attention, especially in the fight against piracy, had limited the industry’s contributory potential.

He said:

“I will want the three tiers of government to put their viewfinders toward Nollywood since they have recognised that Nollywood helps in the per capita income of the country.

“I feel that they are not paying enough attention to the movie industry.

“So, them give us policies that will make this industry stand and defend this country.”

Owoh, however, expressed the satisfaction that the industry was living up to its billing.

” I feel the movie industry is thriving and we are contributing our quota to the economic advancement of the country which makes me very, very happy.

“Since we are not relegated to the background, we will continue to strive harder in the development of the country in general.

“So I am happy to be a member of the Nollywood and see the improvement in Nollywood for now.”

Osuofia said that the industry had improved in the qualities of movies produced by its members with their foreign partners.

This, he attributed to what he called ‘Global Village’ phenomenon and access to the internet.

“When they say it (the world) is a global village; you expect people of common interests from the different countries of the world to come together.

“And with the help of internet, we have been moving together and the synergy has been very encouraging,” he said

“We Are Innocent” – Rev. Father, Teenagers Plead After Arrest At Baby Making Factory. (Photo)

suspect baby factory people

Precious Ihemine (20), a JSS 2 student from Abia State, claims that her boyfriend impregnated and abandoned her.

Ihemine is in police custody in Asaba, Delta State capital, where she is not finding it easy to free herself from police allegations of engaging in baby trafficking, following her arrest at the home of a polyethene packaging materials producer, John Mary Ihezue, who she claims is her employer.

Arrested with her is another 20-year old, Blessing Okafor, who was also impregnated by her lover in a certain village in Enugu State. Both pregnant 20-year-olds were nabbed with six other ladies and two boys, when the police stormed the home-cum-business premises of Ihezue, who the police accused of running a baby factory.

But the suspects have stoutly denied the allegation, stating that they were just working for Ihezue in his polythene factory and computer business, to earn legitimate income.

Narrating how her ordeal began, Okafor told Sunday Sun that her parents chased her out when she got pregnant. She further revealed that one of her friends brought her to Ihezue in Asaba, where she could work and earn income until the delivery of the baby.

“We work for Ihezue. He has a polyethene making machine and computer business. I got pregnant in my village. The boy responsible for the pregnancy ran away. It was his friend who told me that he went to Abuja. This is my first pregnan­cy,” she said.

On her part, Ihemine said her sister who resides in Asaba brought her to Ihezue, where she could stay, because her sister’s husband refused to allow her live with his nuclear family.
Her words:

“My sister is living in Asaba and when I got pregnant, she brought me to this man’s house because her husband refused to al­low me stay with them. She asked me to stay with this man until I deliver the baby.
“The man who got me pregnant, Emeka, denied it and abandoned me. Nobody promised to pay me any money after delivering the baby. I have been in his house since March. I do not go for antenatal care and no doctor comes around for such care.

“He (Ihezue) cooks for me and I work for him. He promised to be paying me N15,000 every month as salary. He employed us and gave us accommodation,” she said.

The other suspects, Nkemjika Ihezue, Okeke Nmesoma, Chioma Oje and Nzube Chukwu, who also spoke with the publication, denied the allegation that they were engaged in baby trafficking. They insisted that they were just employees working for Ihezue in his polythene factory.

Nkemjika told the publication that she is related to Ihezue and works in his polyethene factory, adding that she was about to re-fuel the generator, when the police stormed the compound and arrested her.
Stoutly denying the allegation, Nkemjika said:

“I am not pregnant. The house is my brother’s house. The police arrested me in the house when I was re-fuelling the gen­erator because the boys were not around. I am not making babies; I am 19 years old.

Also speaking in her own defence and debunking the accusation by the police, Okeke Nmesoma denied being pregnant or having any intention to get pregnant stressing that she only came to Asaba from Onitsha, where she resides, in response to an advertisement about a vacancy in the polyethene factory owned by Ihezue.

“I came to Asaba for employ­ment in the polyethene business. I am not pregnant. I came to the house and saw the pregnant ladies there. Nobody directed me to the place, I came on my own. I saw a poster in Onitsha advertising for workers and I called the number and I was directed to Asaba. I live at Onitsha. I came to Asaba in July and got the appointment. At that time the machine broke down and they said they wanted to repair it, which has been done. The employ­ment came with accommodation. I stay with my co-workers and I noticed that some of them happen to be pregnant,” Nmesoma said.

In the same vein, the two boys arrested with the ladies, Nwankwo Obum and Prince Okechukwu, accused of being responsible for impregnating the ladies denied the allegation, maintaining that they were just workers like their female counterparts.

Meanwhile, the man in the eye of the storm, Ihezue who hails from Ideato Local Government Area of Imo State, said he is a care­giver and a reverend brother in the Catholic Church.

He maintained that the poly­ethene business was his source of income, which he use to pay for the rented apartment where he and his workers live. He insisted that he was not operating an illegal business.

“We have started production of polyethene. We have been work­ing; our only problem was that the machine broke down not too long ago. All the workers are new and we are just trying to re-start production. It is not true that we operate a factory where pregnant ladies come and deliver their babies, which are then sold; that is not true.
“I am a reverend brother in the Catholic Church. I am not married. As a brother, we are consecrated to God to give our lives wholly and entirely to God. I trained as a rever­end brother at Ohum Monastery in Enugu. I was made a brother in1994,” he said.

Asked why he is not serving in any Catholic parish, hospital or school, the suspect said Rome gave him

“a sort of concession so that I can live alone and help people. I am somebody who is a care giver, I love helping people.I cannot boast about it, it is only God that I am serving who knows what is in my mind. I am not mar­ried and I am not insane. I know that the only thing that will take me to heaven is doing charitable work.
“I don’t think there is anything that can attract me in this world since I am not married. I am not operating anything illegal, it is my home where I am staying and I have a factory from where I gener­ate money to pay the rent.”

He explained that the pregnant ladies came seeking for help and he decided to help them because of his philanthropic nature, adding:

“If they have nobody to help them, and I have the heart and willing to help, I think I can help them. For this one (pointing to one of the pregnant ladies) the sister brought her here because her husband could not accommodate her as a re­sult of the pregnancy. She begged me to allow her stay here because they know I always help people. She brought her here for me to protect her.”

‘Gerara Here’ Video Has Brought Me Fame and Money – Francis Odega

Francis-Odega

Francis Odega recently opened up that the viral “Gerara Here” video has brought him money and fame after it was uploaded by a friend on Instagram.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with Punch, he said, “I am pleasantly surprised that just one scene from a movie, which I starred in three years ago, has suddenly brought me so much attention and fame.”

The three-part movie, titled Welcome to South, Back from South and Agony of South was shot in South Africa and Nigeria and starred Francis Odega alongside Imeh Bishop and Dede One Day.

odega

“I don’t really know why it has taken the movie three years to garner this sort of recognition. I joined Instagram two months ago, after some social media-savvy friends of mine played the Gerara Here video, which was posted on Instagram for me. The number of comments that trailed the post blew me away and I decided to join the platform almost immediately. Within a month, I had 3000 followers and currently have 18,600 fans,” the actor said in respect to the sudden popularity of the video.

That the video went viral was just a huge part of a cake till American rapper 50 Cent put the icing when he reposted the video on his Instagram page.

According to Odega, “It was an indescribable feeling and I also felt honoured when he began following me on Instagram. Snoop Dogg also followed suit shortly after. Both artistes are obviously huge fans of mine. Don Jazzy, PSquare, Patoranking, M.I, Sound Sultan and many other Nigerian music stars also follow me on social media.”

The actor who had his debut role in 1996 also added that the instant fame the video has brought him has also translated into more money and jobs for him.

“…Etisalat recently made me its ambassador because of the attention I have been receiving. I recently had a photoshoot for the billboards and will shoot the television commercial for the brand very soon. The concept of the billboard adverts revolves around the ‘Gerara Here’ concept,” he said.

He also spoke on the support from his family, the love from his fans and the fact that God, Nkem Owoh and the late Sam Loco have inspired him greatly in a career that spans two decades.

38 Virgins Die In Bus Crash On Their Way To ‘Topless’ Dance Festival For King of Swaziland. (Photos)

Swaziland

More than a dozen of virgin girls and young women died as they traveled to the traditional festival where the King of Swaziland is known to pick a new bride from thousands of topless, dancing virgins.

This tragic accident, which happened along the MR3 Highway, Mahhala, involved two trucks, which were ferrying maidens and a sedan.

According to Times of Swaziland, at least 38 of them died when the open-topped truck collided with another vehicle, before being hit by a second truck as it traveled along a motorway between the Swazi cities of Mbabane and Manzini on Friday afternoon.

The girls were all taking part in the Swazi Reed Dance Festival, an annual event which sees tens of thousands of unmarried girls – or ‘maidens’ – perform for King Mswati III.

Last year, he plucked a 19-year-old virgin from the dancing maidens, who became his 14th wife.

Swazi

Eye-witnesses reveal that traffic police officers pulled-over a Toyota van along the highway and that was when the first truck failed to avoid hitting the car as it smashed into the Toyota’s rear. This caused the pile up as the second truck crashed onto the truck which also had the excited maidens on board.

One of the maidens who survived the accident, in an interview with the Swazi News, confirmed the account of some of the witnesses.

“We were about 50 on board the first truck that smashed into the Toyota van and was crashed from the rear by the other truck which was driving behind ours,” Siphelele Sigudla (18) said.

Rights group The Swaziland Solidarity Network (SSN) has now called on the royal family to reconsider going ahead with the festival, which sees about 40,000 participating in the eight-day ceremony.

The girls and young women sing and dance, often bare-breasted, as they bring reeds to reinforce the windbreak around the royal residence, a government website said.

‘We hope that the families of the deceased girls will hold the royal family accountable for the deaths of their children,’ the group said in a statement, as it alleged a similar incident had been covered up previously.’The least that the royal family can do at this moment is to cancel this year’s reed dance.’

But the King has already sent his condolences.

‘We all have heard about the dark cloud that has befallen the ‘imbali,” he said, using the Swati language word for flower, used to refer to the groups of women dancers.

He promised that the affected families would be compensated.

Rukky Sanda Says She Will Get Married Soon

Rukky Sanda Spots 1

After premiering her latest movie, ‘Dark’ at Silverbird Cinemas on Saturday August 28th, Rukky Sanda spoke at length, career and other things at large.

With her fingers in a lot of pies, Rukky says she has multiple personalities that take care of all her businesses.

‘I’m an interior designer, scriptwriter, actress, director and producer, and I’ve been doing this for about 10 years now. I think I’m just different at different times. It’s a blessing actually.

I love writing and listening to stories. I also love being involved in every aspect of my movies; I can edit and do a couple of other things. I don’t like being ignorant about any part of movie production.’ She veered into movie production after appearing in only three movies, and we wanted to know why.

She answers, ‘For me, it was more of a business decision, because at that time, it wasn’t like actresses were being paid well. I’ve always been a business person, and I wanted to invest in the business aspect of Nollywood. I acted in my first movie in 2004, and I produced my first film in 2005.’

But did she actually make money from that movie? She smiles wryly in response, ‘As a matter of fact, I still have people owing me till date. Some of the people I worked with even went behind my back to mass dub and sell the movies.’

On the lessons she has learnt, she talks like someone who has walked through the valley of the shadow of death and survived. With a bold face she says, ‘In the beginning, it was more of a business decision to just make money, but now, I’ve grown into it, and I actually have a passion for the art of movie production; I just want to make a difference with my movies. Then, I had very little knowledge about production, but now, I’m more of a professional.’

Many would believe that she had a rich family member somewhere who ‘dashed’ her the money she used in producing her first movie, considering her inexperience at the time. She doesn’t agree with that assertion, and she wastes no time in countering it. In her words, ‘Before I got into Nollywood, I was already doing business.

I used to sell stuff, so I had my money to put into it, and my mum supported me with a loan. She collected her money back though, so there was no sentiment attached. I won’t say it was easy starting out because I spent about N3m in making my first movie, and that was quite a lot in 2005. I don’t actually get Executive Producers for my movies; I do that myself. Not like I don’t believe in going all out to source for funds, but it’s just not my thing. I had someone once who wanted to sponsor my movie, and we did that. But before the movie came out, they were already on my neck asking for their money. I had to return it to them after we finished filming; we had not even finished editing then. I told them I’ll give them their money back, but that they wouldn’t get any credit on the movie. Ever since, I only produce movies if it’s convenient for me.’

So we wouldn’t think she’s just guess-working her way to the top, she informs us that she has taken a directing course in Houston, USA, as well as a Visual Effects course, but she’s also quick to add that she’s still learning every day.

The tattoo-loving actress is known to be blunt and she speaks about that side of herself: ‘I believe in expressing myself; always stating my point, and sticking to what I believe in.

People may read different meanings to it, but at the end of the day, I can only be myself; I can’t try to be someone else, or back-up what I don’t believe in. I wasn’t brought up like that. It has brought me here so far, and I love me.’

But has being blunt ever got her into trouble? She enthuses, ‘I don’t get into trouble. If I say anything anywhere, I will stand by it. I’m not the kind of girl who believes in gossip, or idle chatter. If I have anything to say, I say it and move on. If you have any problem with it, come and tell me.’

On reports that she once claimed to be half-Ghanaian, Rukky sets the records straight. ‘I think that was when I went to Ghana for the first time, and I was with some colleagues. We were just messing around and I think Yvonne Nelson told me something in Ghana that could be translated to what I tweeted at the time. It wasn’t anything serious; I don’t know why people take little things serious.’

On her new movie, Dark, she talks about it like a mother whose child is going to school for the first time; the excitement is palpable. ‘It’s extremely different from the regular movies we see out there. It’s about a woman who lost her baby during childbirth, and she actually believed it was the fault of the doctor, so she planned to kill the doctor’s child in return. Usually, I always call everybody I want to feature in my movies before I start writing, so I try to think about how they fit into the roles. When I had the idea for this movie, I thought about Van Vicker, and I told him that I wanted to write a movie for him, and I also asked if he would be free to shoot at a certain time. He was like it’s different, and that he was ready to do it. I love to write romantic movies. That is empowering to women, and generally makes women happy, but Dark is a very serious movie; a lot was involved. It’s about family, pain, and a mother’s bond to her child. It sounds the same, but it’s different because it has a twist to it.’

She speaks more on the cast and their shared experience while on set, ‘Monalisa Chinda played the Doctor, while Van Vicker was her husband. I acted as the obsessed woman which is something I’ve never done before. I also had two buff cops in the persons of Bolanle Ninolowo and IK Ogbonna. There was also this amazing new child actor called Demarion Young who played Van’s son. It really took us a long time to get the perfect child for the movie, because we don’t have a lot of child actors in Nigeria. We held several auditions before we could get the perfect person.

The boy is so good, and he delivered his lines perfectly. He also looks so much like Van that I had to ask Van if he doesn’t have any child in Nigeria. My set is always fun and lively, and we needed it to be that way on this particular movie because the film is so serious. I had the best cast obviously.’

Dwelling on her sense of fashion, Rukky says she can never be caught wearing anything that doesn’t look good on her. She further defines fashion thus, ‘It means expressing yourself, and being comfortable in your own skin. I can never leave home without my sunglasses though, and the most I’ve ever spent on them is about a thousand Dollars. But when it comes to what I can spend the most on in general, that’s bags and they’re ridiculously expensive.’

On how long it takes her to get dressed for events, she says, ‘It takes me just about 30 minutes to an hour if I’m not in a hurry, and if I’m pressed for time, I just wear whatever and go.’

All work and no love makes Rukky a robot, so we want to know what qualities her dream man should possess, and she sums it up with the following words: ‘He must be an amazing person with a good heart, and he should also have a sense of humour, as well as do everything I say. I like people that make me happy.’

On how she balances stardom with other aspects of her life, she quips, ‘I’m a very private person, and the only place you can ever get to see me is on Instagram and Snapchat because I don’t really go out. People don’t really know much about me, and most of what is written about me out there are false. I advise celebs to live a private life, and not to put too much information about themselves out there.’

For the legion of men out there who dream to make her their woman, she refused to state whether she’s in a relationship or not, but as regards marriage, she says, ‘By God’s grace, I’ll get married soon.’

Rukky Sanda was speaking with Vanguard’s reporter Tofarati Ige

Buhari 2D

Following the outrage from leaders of the country on the very recent action of Head of States, President Muhammed Buhari; appointing more of Northerners into key federal positions, the Presidency, has now come to assure Nigerians that the appointments will spread round the country very soon and it would not be a Northern themed scenario at the time.

The Presidential spokes­man, Femi Adesina while answering questions on a live radio programme in Abuja yester­day, said:

“No body can fault the fact that the persons appointed were ap­pointed on merits. In terms of the spread, the President has the prerogative on ap­pointment and he knows there is federal character. I’m sure there will be bal­ance in the future”.These are still early days, at the end of the day we will have a balance. Don’t let’s forget that some of the positions are by elec­tion.”“By the time more ap­pointments are made, there will be balance, the presi­dent is trying to get the very best of Nigerians. The issue of key positions and no key positions should not be the issue.“He gave a deadline of September for the appoint­ment of ministers and he will keep to it”, he assure

Obasanjo is entitled to his opinion. But the question is: ‘Who respects the opinion of a liar?’I can spend the whole night proving that he is a liar. Obasanjo was once described by an economist, the late Prof Ojetunji Aboyade, as an economic illiterate. They nearly ‘went into blow’ that night. It was Prof. Mabogunje who separated them.
“So, if an economic illiterate calls somebody a political illiterate, no problem at all.
“In ‘ My Watch’, Obasanjo told the first lie when he said he deplored lies. Anybody who said he never plotted to have an unconstitutional third term in office, even as a writer, I need a word to describe him.”

“I Spent N3M In Making My First Movie In 2005” – Rukky Sanda Speaks.

rukky sanda honey

Popular Nollywood actress, Rukky Sanda, who was reportedly given birth to with a diamond encrusted silver spoon *if you know what i mean* and was said to have come into the industry’s limelight cause of the wealth of her folks, claims that she helped herself to become what she is today.

With several self-produced movies to her credit, the actress revealed to Vanguard

‘Before I got into Nollywood, I was already doing business.I used to sell stuff, so I had my money to put into it, and my mum supported me with a loan. She collected her money back though, so there was no sentiment attached. I won’t say it was easy starting out because I spent about N3m in making my first movie, and that was quite a lot in 2005. I don’t actually get Executive Producers for my movies; I do that myself. Not like I don’t believe in going all out to source for funds, but it’s just not my thing. I had someone once who wanted to sponsor my movie, and we did that. But before the movie came out, they were already on my neck asking for their money. I had to return it to them after we finished filming; we had not even finished editing then. I told them I’ll give them their money back, but that they wouldn’t get any credit on the movie. Ever since, I only produce movies if it’s convenient for me.’

“Why I Am Unmarried” – DBanj Reveals.

Dbanj Dapper

Heavily achieved and multi-talented personality, DBanj, who we all know that since the beginning of his music career in 2005, has been linked with so many beautiful women (we even made a publication on that), but never got to betroth any one of them.

Back in the days, the artiste had plans, that by 30, he’d settle down, but… we all know how the story goes now. *smiles*. The DB records CEO, in a new interview with Saturday Beats revealed why he abolished his early plans.

He said:

“While growing up, there were some goals I set for myself and at 35; I have accomplished most of them. Sadly, I have not accomplished the primary goals. The main one is marriage. By now, I thought I would have been married. I had always thought I would have a child before the age of 30. That fantasy did not become a reality because I wanted to strengthen my brand. I wanted to be sure that I was on the right path career-wise because as a kid, you need to crawl before you can walk and eventually run. I wanted to be sure I surpass all boundaries and reach a certain stage where I can easily balance my work and family. That is the main reason why I am not married.”

The singer also stated that he is proud of his other achievements as they have surpassed his widest imaginations,

“Apart from marriage, one other thing I desire to have is the Grammy but that is already in the pipeline and it would be acquired soon. I didn’t know I would meet Kanye West while I was dreaming big as a child. But I dreamt that I would go places and people would hear my song all over the world. I also dreamt that Caucasians would dance to my music. I dreamt I would top music charts across the world and all that has happened. I have dreamt of performing in front of thousands of people on a global stage and I have achieved that. For all these I am grateful to God,”

Woman Sentenced To Death For Trafficking Cocaine in Her Anus and Private Parts

4

30- year-old Chonmanee Laphathanawat from Thai province of Rayong was yesterday August 27th sentenced to death by a High Court after finding her guilty of trafficking in 689.10gm of cocaine in 70 capsules hidden in her anus and her private parts.

Laphathanawat, who was detained at the Penang International Airport in Bayan Lepas in February 2013, looked calm but dejected when Judicial Commissioner Nordin Hassan pronounced the verdict. She was charged with committing the offence from about 12.50am on Feb 13 to Feb 16, 2013 at the Penang General Hospital.

Her court-assigned defence counsel, K Thangeswaran told the court she was unaware the capsules contained cocaine, thinking they contained gems.

She said she was forced by some people to swallow the capsules in Brazil with other capsules forcibly inserted into her private parts. It was argued that she had not felt well and was asleep throughout her journey from Brazil to Malaysia via Barcelona, Spain and Singapore.

Chonmanee said she sought help from Penang airport police when she could no longer bear the pain in her abdomen. Deputy public prosecutor Amir Hamdzah Othman said Chonmanee failed to produce any witnesses or evidence to substantiate her claims.

Mr Nordin said the defence had failed to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt. He said Chonmanee failed to inform authorities in Barcelona or Singapore before her flight to Penang about her plight.

“She could also have checked the contents of the capsules in her private parts. Her ‘wilful blindness’ did not help her defence. I am satisfied that the prosecution has proven a prima facie case against her.”

Oliver, an indigene of Abia state and a graduate of Business Administration, will place the banned substances into meal packs meant for the passengers and then will transfer the substance to Chika while onboard.

The statement quotes Oliver as saying

“It was Chika that introduced me into the drug deal. Whenever Chika gives me the drug, I will hide it in catering supplies. Chika knows where to collect the drug inside the flight. They pay me N400,000 per bag. I was expecting N1.2m for the three bags that I smuggled into the aircraft.”.

The statement further stated that the 20kg of cocaine found with Chika in London was concealed within the construction of laptop bags

“The quantity and estimated street value of the cocaine is over N100m. The latest Range Rover (Land Rover) car belonging to the prime suspect parked on the airline’s premises had been moved to the NDLEA office as exhibit. As part of investigation, the rented apartment of Chika on Pastor Ojediran Street Ejigbo, Lagos was searched by operatives of the NDLEA. He lives there with the mother and siblings while his wife and children are based in Canada.”.

Meanwhile NDLEA Chief Executive Officer, Ahmadu Giade, has instructed that henceforth, all airport workers must be screened before coming into the airport.
