I see this becoming a new trend in Nigerian fashion in the next few weeks. Though the style has been around for a while but i can tell it’s about to become rampant.
Gorgeous Nollywood actress, Chika Ike, who is labelled amongst our list of Nigerian Female Celebrities Who Smoke Shisha, and is also, as she claims, celebate currently, stuns in this amazing blue dress of hers.
Friends of these men even jump into the equation—hastily labeling all actresses as wh*res based on what they’ve read online. And some of the men I have met actually get cold feet because of such unfounded speculations,”
The actress reveals she is not over, dating a black man as long as she can find one who understands her career and lifestyle. She continued:
“For me it’s not about the colour of a man’s skin but his mind. The reason why I think a white man will work for me is because their mentality fits my lifestyle and my career. But if I meet a black man who sits well with my wants and expectations, I will jump for it.”

How tragic… The brother of former Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Attahiru Jega, Abdulkadir Jega, has been confirmed as one of the unfortunate people who died in the recent Hajj stampede.
Vanguard reports that the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Mahmud Mohammed on Saturday, disclosed that two Court of Appeal Justices were among those that died during the stampede that led to the death of over 700 persons at Mina, Saudi Arabia on Thursday.
In a statement, the CJN, gave the names of the deceased Justices as Abdulkadir Jega who is the Presiding Justice of the Abuja Division of the appellate court and Justice Musa Hassan Alkali of the Ilorin Division.
Precisely two weeks after the abduction of the Chairman of Cometstar Manufacturing Company, Sir James Uzochukwu Uduji by unknown gunmen in front of his residence at 7th Avenue in Festac town, Lagos, his abductors have insisted on collecting $1million or he dies. The minimum the naira equivalent of their demand will cost the victim’s family is N220million.
Sir James Uzochukwu Uduji’s abductors were said to have laid an ambush at 72nd junction along 7th Avenue at a bad portion of the road close to Uduji’s residence. As soon as he was sighted, the gunmen deliberately hit his car as in an accident scenario, which forced the driver to stop to ascertain the extent of damage. In the process, the gunmen opened fire, shot the driver and drove off with Chief Uduji to an unknown destination.
Saturday Sun reliably gathered that his abductors have since demanded the sum of one million dollars ($1M) as ransom.
It was also learnt that the family has been able to cough out and handed over N100million cash to the abductors but they insist that the balance of N120million must be paid. They are said to have suggested that Chief Uduji should send one his family members to come and take his place in captivity and he will be released so that he would go and source for the balance.
All efforts to get the family’s reaction to the development failed as they were strictly warned by the kidnappers not to speak with the police or the media over the matter.
Investigation shows that unlike previous cases of kidnapping in Lagos, the group of notorious kidnappers have held sway in Lagos for years, especially in the Festac area of the state. Their modus operandi is to investigate and pick up individuals who can afford to pay huge ransom, ranging from N50million and above. They normally confront their victims with details of his worth and why he or she should be able to pay the sum or be killed.
According to a reliable source whose family had a taste of their cruelty, they had to cough out the sum of N80million before his uncle was released.
“They held him for more than a month until we were able to raise N80million. It was when they discovered that my uncle had sold his land just to raise the money that they released him. He has left the country with his entire family. They picked him up at 7th Avenue during the day. We couldn’t tell the police because their threats were real. They are too coordinated that they kept monitoring every member of the family and giving us update. It’s been happening; we were the first and others have been picked up same way after,” he said.
Amongst those who have been calling for his unconditional release were friends and associates of Chief Uduji who on Tuesday gathered at the Federal Housing Authority Lawn Tennis Club on 22rd, Festac town to pray and call on God to touch the hearts of his abductors to release him.
Many see their gathering as unusual as they normally gather at the club to socialize or use the fitness facilities. Members of the club who also refused to speak to Saturday Sun because of security reasons lamented that they now live in fear. Some of them said it would only amount to suicide mission to challenge their (kidnappers’) authority.
The beautiful new mother who just returned to the country after giving birth to her baby for Teebillz, shared this adorable photo with sweet words to follow.
Actor, Jim Iyke who recently turned 39 today has finally confirmed that he is now a father by sharing a picture of him and his son lying on the bed with the following long note:
Son,
A few weeks ago I recall kissing your mom’s sweaty brows as I encouraged Her to push and push harder intermittently.
I recall her growing weaker by the minute, her fingers clutching my shoulders in a death grip, her intense green eyes staring deep into my core with that singular resolve only women in labor possess.
I asked Doc Crawford for the honour of pulling you out of your mom which she granted without wasting a heartbeat and also gave me the charge of cutting the umbilical cord.
You see against every ethos of her practice she sensed a higher purpose beyond this realm; a symbolic need for me to perform this final task to weld you and I, father and son, into one single entity.
I have a propensity for nicknames son. I’ve pretty much covertly or overtly nicknamed everything in my life. Your mom is Supergirl. Well now Superwoman. I promise you by no stretch is her nickname far fetched.
She’s the combination of great looks, brains, grace and sheer guts! She’s got more balls let alone mental strength, than most men I know; present company included. I’ll save the story of her commitment and dedication on this journey for perhaps another day lol.
I don’t know where our path will take us tomorrow but it had to be her. It was predestined to be. She’s taken to motherhood like fish to water. I’m indebted for life sweetheart.
The finest poets and wordsmiths has written all there is to write about a father’s love for a son. My oratorical or literal prowess can never match theirs no matter how hard I try now or later. But no one alive or dead can or will match what I hold in my heart.
My propensity and strength is in my heart son, always have been. Many times when events and words fail me my heart lifts me with the weight of its content.
You see I have witnessed Jehovah’s greatest Miracle.
My love for you is in the moment that froze as I held you in my hands for the first time and I thought my heart had stopped beating. It’s in the pride as people swoon over you in public places, gushing about how utterly beautiful you are.
I’ve googled everything from how to change diapers to how to soothe you to sleep. Yes we have become apt and true disciples of Google lol.

A guy allegedly got engaged to his girlfriend just after she passed away. Abigail Hall‘s sudden death was disclosed to her boyfriend Josh Thompson while he was working as a tennis coach in the Greek island of Corfu.
He, in no time, flew home to her family in Doncaster and asked for their permission to propose to the deceased.
Dailymail tells the story, they agreed to the unusual step and he bought her an engagement ring. He then popped the question privately, placing the wedding band over the 18-year-old’s finger and posting a photograph on Facebook (left) with the heartbreaking message:
Abigail Hall and I are now engaged. She is my life..Words cannot express the love that I have for her, she was the reason I would wake up in the morning. ‘We connected so well, from the moment she tripped on an escalator in the Shard after one too many, to having the most hilarious sunburn after driving through France with the roof down.
‘Everything we did felt real, she would always be there with a smile on her face, and she could never do enough for me.’Yesterday myself and Joshua Hall went to select an engagement ring for Abbie, the plan was to do this next year after her first year at University.’Josh chose well and I was able to have my moment with Abbs which I was so grateful for.
‘Thank you to everyone for the support you have given Abbie’s family and myself. Life will never be the same again, we need to continue to support each other.’There was no reason for Abbie to leave us. She had everything to live for. We had plans for Turkey, Dubai and then Paris for New Years Eve.’There’s no one else I would want to share my life with. I love you Panda. I will always love you baby.
Abigail, from Doncaster, South Yorkshire, had only just started at Sheffield Hallam University where she was studying biomedical sciences.
She was found by friends in her flat in Sheffield on Wednesday night. Police say there are no suspicious circumstances around her death.
Devastated friends spoke of their shock on social media, adding how moved they were by Josh’s gesture.
I honestly feel this dude needs to be spanked! Seriously! Why would you pay people to tie your shoes?! C’Mon man, that’s not how a classic man should be! That in fact, is a helpless man and is worth any hype at all to me *rolls eyes*.
The kinda things money makes people do though. Hip Hop star,Drake, who is on the 3rd spot of the Forbes Highest paid rappers shared this photo of two ladies tying the lace of his shoes.
Should i be confused as to whether I should be congratulating her or despising her? Hmph. I’m less bothered!

A pained mother has learnt the hard way after her baby contracted herpes by kissing a family member. Claire Henderson, a mother from Doncaster, England shared photos of her newborn to Facebook on Facebook.
She captioned the pictures with a message to moms on why it’s important to not let anyone, including friends and family kiss your baby:
She wrote:
“Please share this with every new mum and pregnant woman you know… COLD SORES CAN BE FATAL FOR A BABY. Before 3 months old a baby cannot fight the herpes virus. If a baby contracts this it can cause liver and brain damage and lead to death.
I know this sounds like I am scaremongering but if my friend had not told me about this my baby girl could have been very seriously ill. I noticed the signs early and got her to A&E, we have now been in hospital on a drip for 3 days and have got another 2 to go.
She was VERY lucky, all her tests came back clear. The moral of the story is DO NOT let anyone kiss your newborns mouth, even if they don’t look like they have a cold sore- 85% of the population carry the virus. And if someone had a cold sore ask them to stay away until it has gone.
Everyone who I have spoken to had not heard of this before and so I felt it was important to share Brooke’s story and raise awareness to stop anyone else going through what we have this week.”

Following the reports deaths of the estimated 736 pilgrims (Including Nigerians) during the Hajj stampede in Saudi Arabia, an Islamic pilgrim from Sokoto, Alhaji Muhamadu Ilela, who claims to have been at the scene, said the deaths occurred because the Saudi police blocked one of the gates leading to the Jamrat area.
‘’For over one hour, the queue didn’t move and we were in the scorching sun. After some time, people started collapsing because of the heat wave, This was what caused the initial deaths. A stampede followed which caused the deaths of most pilgrims.’’
he alleged.
Amoung the Nigerian casualties are, Veteran journalist, Hajiya Bilkisu Yusuf, as well as one of Nigeria’s respected Islamic intellectuals, Prof. Tijani El-Miskin.

Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Chief Olu Falae , reveals traumatically that he slept on the bare floor for the four days when he was held in the kidnappers’ den.
The oldie who was released on Thursday after being kidnapped allegedly by some Fulani herdsmen on Monday, on his farm in Ilado village, Akure North Local Government Area of Ondo State, described his experience as “hell.”
In his discussion with state Governor, Olusegun Mimiko, who paid him a visit at his Oba Ile residence, Falae said his abductors were unreasonable in their demand.
He said
“When I told the kidnappers that my family could raise N2m for ransom against the N100m they demanded, they rejected it and told me, ‘Is it Boko Haram you are giving N2m to?’”
After he was released, the septuagenarian said he trekked several kilometers from his farm to a hotel in Owo town, where he met security agents that took him home.
All efforts to speak personally with Falae were prevented by his hostile children.
Looking weary and frail, the former Minister of Finance arrived at his home at about 4.45pm. It was gathered by Punch that the IG, Arase, who arrived in Ondo State at about 06:00am on Thursday, met with operatives from the Ondo State Police Command, and mobilized them to the Owo area of the state where Falae was rescued.
A police source, who was on the rescue team, told the publication that Falae was rescued at about 2.30pm.
He said:
“We came into Ondo at about 6am with the IG. We then went to Owo town. The IG came with five units of mobile policemen and over 400 policemen from the Ondo State command. There was also the Special Intelligence Response team. The chief was rescued at bout 2.30pm.”
The Force Public Relations Officer, Olabisi Kolawole, also said the family did not pay any ransom to the kidnappers. She added that no member of the kidnapping gang had been arrested yet.
She said:
“The chief hiking on arresting the suspects, and they will be brought to book. We do not have any suspect presently.”
You know how they say a photo has a thousand words to say about it? Well, this photo, definitely has more than a thousand and most of these words are affiliated with LOVE!

Precisely last week, I Am Legend, Will Smith shared a sweet birthday message for his wife, and now she returned the favour in the most adorable way possible.
29 year old Caroline Wanjiku has beeen arrested after she confessed to hacking her mother-in-law – Ann Nyambura to death in Kiambu County.
She claimed that Satan had ordered her to also kill her mother and sister but she didn’t find them at home.
Caroline reported to Thigio chief’s post on Monday, September 21, saying visions of snakes coiling around her waist kept her up at night.
“On Sunday night when I went to sleep, the snakes visited me. They asked me to kill the three people they kept asking for, but I prayed to God and slept after they left. The following morning, they came again and asked me to kill them. I do not know what happened but I proceeded to the kitchen where my mother-in-law was and killed her with an ax.” She said
She told the press, administration police and residents she also intended to kill her mother and sister but did not find them at her matrimonial home. “It is Satan who disturbs my mind,” said the woman whose husband, David Njenga, works in Qatar.
She said she committed the crime while her father-in-law, Ben Maara, was at a garage washing his car, and then took a boda boda to her home.
Assistant chief James Mwaura said Wanjiku told her father-in-law that she had killed his wife, and asked for her mother and sister. “She went to the AP post to report what she had done when she could not find her mother and her sister,” Mwaura said. “She has been taking tablets which control her mental problem but no one knows what happened. We are leaving everything to investigators.”
Officers from Tigoni police station and crime scene detectives from Nairobi county reported to the scene and began a probe. They collected blood samples and the ax and took statements from family members, but declined to comment saying they were not authorised to address the press.
Wanjiku was later transferred from the chief’s post to the police station. Officers said she will undergo a mental check at Mathari hospital. The body was taken to City Mortuary.
