Chidinma recently sat down with Pulse TV and she revealed her reasons why she’s not a fan of dating celebrities.
She says it’s a lot of headache as there’s a lot of madness in fame.
Here her:
I am actually not a fan of celebrity relationships. I don’t know how others feel about it, but for me I am not a big fan of it. I just think it is a lot of headache. You are both in the same line of work. Who calms who?So it’s a lot of madness already and we are both in it and we are both running around. It doesn’t work for me.
It can be anything not music but if God says that’s what is going to be then who am I to argue but as human as I am I don’t think I will like that.
Delectable Nollywood Actress, Mercy Aigbe-Gentry says she’s not a fan of having tattoos on ones body.
Speaking in a recent interview, she reveals the reason she hates tattoos.
“Maybe it’s because I dread pain. But seriously, I don’t like it on me, because I’m like an insatiable person when it comes to having things like that on my body” she said.
“Today I may like a bird, and the following day I’ll get tired of that and want to change it. And asides that, in my job, you’ll have to play different roles; so it automatically restricts the number of roles you can play in a movie, so I feel as a professional actress, you shouldn’t, maybe to an extent, have a permanent thing on your body” Mercy Aigbe-Gentry further said.
Speaking of things she wouldn’t do, the Yoruba movie actress said she couldn’t go braless in public last month.
“No, I can’t go out braless; I’m a mother, so I will not do that. But some ladies do that and for me, if they look good in it fine, why not” said the actress.

Probing further to know if he had plans of tying the knot with another lady, he tersely replied, ‘I am not planning on getting married now.’
I guess as the saying goes, ‘time changes yesterday.’ It should be the other way around, but 9ice was recently photographed asking Yemi Alade for her autograph.
Yemi Alade shared the pic on Instagram a few minutes ago, with the caption “Oga @nice made me autograph my album for him when it should be the other way round… choi.”

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.

I could go on and on about you the whole day …. You are a true definition of a “Sweet Heart” !! Words really can’t describe how kind your heart really is. Love you forever my love”
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.”
