Yoruba actress Omotunde Ogundimu critically ill, in need of financial help

Popular Yoruba Actress, Omotunde Ogundimu, who has been off the movie scene for a while now, is presently battling with fibroid.

According to reports, the mother of three needs about N500,000 to undergo surgery to have the fibroid removed.

Recounting how the problem started, Omotunde told Nigeria Films thus:

“I noticed it last year before my husband passed away. Anytime we had intercourse, I would always bleed. I took it for something else, so I didn’t really pay attention to it. But when he became sick and we couldn’t have intercourse any more, it (the bleeding) stopped. Then, I didn’t have time to study it at that period too.

“But what I noticed is that my menstrual circle changed, so I would menstruate twice in a month with very heavy flow. So, at that time, I just felt it was one of the signs of menopause because I am way above 40. But last year, I had to go to the hospital to complain and the doctor said I had fibroid, even before the tests and scan were conducted. When the scan was done, it was discovered that the fibroid was fully grown in my womb,” she explained.

Soliciting for help, the Actress admitted that she doesn’t have that kind of money because she has been single-handedly taking care of her three children who have been in school since the demise of her husband.

Iyanya, comedian Wale Gates wade into the Wizkid-Davido war

Pop star, Iyanya Mbuk and comedian, Wale Gate have waded into the ongoing ‘social media war’ between singers,Wizkid and Davido.

The squabble between the two music stars started few days back with what looked like a harmless tweet from Wizkid followed with a cold and not-so friendly tweet from Davido.

Although, the duo did not mention their names in the tweet, fans are aware that they are at loggerheads, and are already making their meals out of the quarrel that is best described as cold war.

Responding to the issue, the Kukere crooner took to his Instagram page hours ago and wrote:

“Stop talking!!! Let’s release more MUSIC!!! Let’s entertain Our Fans!!! Stop The Hate!!! My Prayer is that we ALL make it”

Comedian, Wale Gate, also tweeted “Sometimes you wish these artistes learn a little from the past, open beef between artistes is one of the fastest ways to kill a flourishing career. The problem with beef is that it starts to affect the type of music you make, from making feel good happy music, you start writing ‘war’ songs. I have been around long enough to know it is pointless and an unnecessary distraction, only the media gains, not even your fans”

Nigerians blasts El Rufai despite son’s death


Rather than commiserate with former minister, Nasir El Rufai over the loss of one of his sons, who died in a car crash in the early hours of Tuesday, some Nigerians have taken to his facebook page to condemn and mock him.

The former minister, known for always antagonizing the federal government, broke the sad news in a statement posted on his Facebook page, saying “From Allah, we came and to Him we shall return. Please join our family in praying for the repose of the soul of my son, Hamza El-Rufai who died this morning in a motor accident in Abuja”.

Of the 30, 197 comments that the facebook post generated, about seventy percent of them were harsh and condemning.

Commenting on the post, some followers condemned El Rufai for posting such a message on facebook rather than mourning his son.

Some others mocked him and sarcastically queried him for not blaming President Goodluck Jonathan for the accident.

One Miss Ezenma wrote “Are you serious? You have the mind to come online to “post” after losing your son this very morning in an accident when you should be mourning and be inconsolable”.

Another one commented on the page saying “This man has lost it, your son died this morning and he’s on the internet again, waiting for him to accuse GEJ of being responsible as usual. RIP young Hamza, May your soul RIP”.

Still criticizing the minister, a facebook follower George said “RIP. Sentiments aside, it’s high time you slow down on how you attack national issues. I used to be his fan but he decided to rubbish his hard earned reputation for the sake of politics. When a man, rather than spend his life meaningfully, engages in silly tweeting all over the place, these are the kind of reminders he gets to tell him to wake up. I pity his kids dying one by one with no fatherly spiritual protection. I guess he has them so many their death doesn’t take him away from the internet. Do forgive my frankness”.

Several other Nigerians, however, sent in their condolence messages and prayed for the dead boy’s soul.

One Sammy Francis wrote “I can’t believe some people are rejoicing over the death of a human. Let me believe you didn’t read properly before commenting but he didn’t say he lost his dog or chicken. Even the whites cry for their dogs! The GEJ you are fighting for wrongly, will visit or call El-Rufai and do the necessary things, but you will be here fighting ignorantly. I smell wizards in the church and witches in christendom because the Bible never taught us to rejoice over the death of a man, only witchcraft or wizandry can do this. if God says Jonathan will rule in 2015 then so be it. So why start fighting a fight that is anti-christ? To you sir El-Rufai, the God of your belief will strengthen you. God knows best”.

Another follower, Saliu Kolawole said “How recklessly thoughtless some Nigerians can get! You coldly mocked a fellow human being over a worst calamity that can befall any parent. You people are no better than those beasts in Sambisa Forest. Anyway, as we Yoruba say, you see another’s misfortune now but you don’t know what fate has in stock for you tomorrow. And from experience, nothing anyone says can soften these stone hearted beasts. Nasir has done the best thing through his instant acknowledgement of God’s ownership of all souls and His sole right to claim them. May God give him the fortitude to bear this great loss. May God also make paradise the eternal abode for the departed. Amen”.

Until his death, Hamza was a student of Rochester Institute of Technology, Dubai and was billed to graduate in 2015.

It’s official! Everton sign Lukaku from Chelsea for £28m


Romelu Lukaku has returned to Everton, this time on a permanent deal from Chelsea.

The Belgium striker posted a picture of himself on his way to Merseyside today, where he has now signed a five-year deal with the Toffees, after both clubs agreed a fee around £28m - a new club record for Everton, who previously paid £15m for Marouane Fellaini.

Lukaku scored 15 times in the Premier League last season on loan at Goodison Park and Roberto Martinez has never hidden his desire to bring back the 21-year-old.

Jose Mourinho has decided to let the striker leave, after he brought in Diego Costa from Atletico Madrid and Didier Drogba on a one-year deal.

‘It’s Nobody’s Business If Davido Bought “Aye” From Me’ – Runtown


Several reports have claimed Davido bought his hit single “Aye” from Runtown. However, the fast rising indigenous singer has come out to debunk the claims.

Domot singer said, “Davido has had a number of interviews where he addressed how the song came about. So if you want to learn more about Aye ask David or read his interviews.”

The singer when asked further if he sold the song to Davido retorted, “The first time I heard about that, I felt it was nobody’s business to raise issues like that. I know we are in Africa and people like to ask questions, but it is certainly not my business.

“Maybe the song sounds like something I would have done myself, perhaps that is why people are saying so.” He said.

My husband named me Omosexy — Omotola Jalade Ekeinde


My husband named me Omosexy — Omotola Jalade Ekeinde

When CNN dubbed superstar actress Omotola Jalade Ekeinde ‘Queen of Nollywood’ the Cable News Network people knew exactly what they were talking about.

With more than 300 movies to her name; being mentioned by Time magazine as one of the Most Influential People in the world alongside Michelle Obama, Beyonce and others, and currently holding the honour of having appeared in the most grossing film in West Africa ‘Last Flight to Abuja, beating American blockbuster movies like Spiderman, Ice Age and others, Omotola stands head above her peers and rightly deserves her place as the ‘Queen of Nollywood’.

Omotola told Potpourri that her popular nickname was actually a pet name given to her by her husband of almost twenty years. “That’s my husband’s pet name for me,” she says, “and the fans love it and now people call me Omosexy almost more than Omotola’.

Explaining what ‘Omosexy’ means the mother of four and social activist said the name is self-explanatory. “You can judge easily from the name. I must be sexy, at least, to my husband to have warranted the name” she says. Omotola, no doubt remains one of the most curvaceous women ever to grace the African cinema screen.

Jonathan urges Nigerians to remain resolute

President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday urged all patriotic Nigerians to remain strong and resolute in defence of the country, despite the current security challenges confronting the country.

Jonathan made the call yesterday in his Eid-el-fitri message to Muslims nationwide, in which he congratulated them.

According to President Jonathan, “Although the observance of the Holy Month was sadly tainted in parts of the country with the continuing atrocities of extremists and terrorists in our midst, I urge all patriotic Nigerians to remain strong and resolute in defence of freedom, unity, law and order, peace, security and progress of the nation.

“I feel the pains and anguish of all our compatriots who have experienced the harrowing impact of terrorism unleashed on them by brainwashed and misguided agents of evil and disunity, but we must never throw up our hands in helplessness and despair as the terrorists and purveyors of anarchy want".

“I assure all Nigerians, once again, that we are totally committed to winning that war, putting the scourge of terrorism and insecurity rapidly behind us and giving the fullest possible attention to the urgent task of improving the living conditions of our people in all parts of the country.”

He congratulated all countrymen and women who have successfully undertaken the purifying Ramadan fast.

“As we celebrate Eid-el-fitri, it is my hope and prayer that Ramadan’s spiritual lessons and the Holy Prophet’s teachings of piety, love, justice, fairness, equity, peaceful co-existence with others, tolerance, honesty and dedication to duty will remain with us all for the benefit and greater glory of our dear nation,” he added.

I Never Thought I Would Win The BET Award-Davido

After Davido won the BET Best African Act Awards on the 29th of June,on Wednesday, BET organised a meet up with the media and Davido had this to say

“I never thought I would win because I have worked with almost everyone on that nomination list and they are amazing artists. The African category of the Best International Act was a tough one. So, when I was announced as the winner, I was absolutely stunned and at the same time elated!”

Miss Global Nigeria Pageant

The Miss Global Nigeria Pageant took place at the Havilla Events Centre , Victoria Island yesterday … and I attended the event not just to bring you only pictures but hot gist..

The event was well attended, I ran into my classmate from University.. Haven’t seen her since we graduated from school.. We spent some time to catch up on old times, it was great reliving our University days.. The event kicked off at about 7pm with the appearance of the MC’s Tee A and Tina Akinola.

Some of the celebrities who attended the event were Toyin Aimaku Johnson, Mercy Aigbe Gentry, Chidi Mokeme, Korede Bello, Halima Abubarka and so many others.. The contestants came out to do a theme song which was dedicated to the Chibok girls. I think that was a nice touch, they then came out in their corporate wear. Usually you don’t see that in pageants rather you’d see contestants come out in bikinis. However, when contestant no 2 came out in her corporate wear with a makeup stain (brown powder) on it and it was so obvious. (I am just saying what I saw oo) then they came out in their evening wear. Their dresses were not bad at all. Beautiful dresses by Needle Craft and it fit all of them well.. You know me, if the dresses were not nice I would tell you.

Contestant no 9 made a mistake by coming out before she was called but she was smart enough to quickly go back. The girls were nervous though! You could tell from their voices when they came to describe their traditional attire… Really, it’s not easy to face crowd oo! One thing I liked about the event was that some of the contestants came up to showcase their talents..

Contestant no 9 tied gele for a girl right there on stage and she tied it well, contestant no 7 performed one of her songs on stage, contestant no 11 danced to Kcee’s ‘Pullover’ , contestant no 6 sang ‘Beautiful’ by Frank Edwards while playing the guitar, contestant no 15 did the Indian dance, the guests loved her performance.. Contestant no 5, 7, 9,2,1,3,10,8 and 6 made it to top 10.

The selection by the judges didn’t go down well with the guests because they felt contestant no 16 did well. In fact, Toyin Aimaku left the event in annoyance .. I heard her say ‘ This is rubbish, I’m leaving’ people were surprised at her but I think someone was able to calm her down. She came back few minutes later. Like I was saying, the guests were not pleased with the selection of the top 10. That caused an argument for about 5minutes and one of the judges was asked to explain how they came about the selection.. We were told that they performed some tasks while in camp and the score for that was 60 while the judges were to score the girls based on 40 marks at the event…

We were also told that the organizers were not just looking for a queen with a pretty face but a queen who is also beautiful from the inside… So, it was obvious that contestant no 16 didn’t do well in camp. Immediately after the explanation, everyone took a chill pill and the event proceeded with the award of sashes

Miss Photogenic – Contestant No – 2 Face of posh hair – Contestant No – 11 Most talented – Contestant No – 15 Miss congeniality – Contestant No – 15 Best traditional attain – Contestant No -7 Miss Global fashionistas – Contestant No -5 Best evening gown – Contestant No – 14

Top Five

Contestant No – 1 Contestant No – 7 Contestant No – 5 Contestant No – 9 Contestant No – 10

Top Four

Forth runner up – Contestant No 1 3rd runner up – Contestant No 9 2nd runner up – Contestant No 10 1st runner up – Contestant No 5 Winner – Contestant No 7

The event had some flops though! They served cold food, the drinks were not cold… A beauty queen Miss Omolewa 2014 was served finger foods with a drink that wasn’t opened, another guest had to use her spoon to open the drink .that was not cool.. A queen should be treated as a queen that she is. I am just saying. Then the lady that served finger foods from Lerado wasn’t properly dressed, her belt was above the belt section.. It didn’t send the right message about the brand. The drinks were served from a big basin rather than waiters serving professionally. This for me didn’t portray the Miss Global Nigeria brand in good light. I hope they would do better next year..
