Congratulations to Nigerian music icon, Two Face Idibia and wife Annie who had their white wedding in Dubai during the weekend. Finally, the man has given all his ‘body and soul’ to one ‘African queen.’ You can read all about it somewhere else, but there are some memories that the Dubai wedding conjures up; one of them is when U.S pop singer, Nicki Minaj was nearly arrested in the UAE capital for hugging a guy.
Today, everyone quotes Shakespeare. It gives a certain credence, an authority to your writing. When you say ‘Shakespeare said’ no one cares whether you are writing entertainment, sports or politics, it is serious journalism. It’s only natural that we follow suit. Quite a pity that I’m not too sure who said “All is fair in love and war,” but I’m sincerely hoping that it was Shakespeare. If it was someone else, all is not lost, because some intellectuals have read this far. Lol!
Why won’t they let Goldie rest in peace? The star seems to be more controversial from the great beyond than when she was alive and well. And it keeps getting more colourful. It appears that some unidentified individual has taken the reins of the deceased pop singer’s tweeter account and is using it as a publicity platform to promote Nigerian movies as well as Tonto Dikeh’s ‘hit’ (popularly bashed and generally unaccepted) single Jeje.
It’s a Nigerian thing. As soon as you hear a figure in foreign currency, you quickly go for your calculator-imaginary or otherwise-and convert it into dwindling-in-value-naira. It doesn’t matter whether the money is yours or someone else’s but as soon as a $ 100 is mentioned, visions of about N16, 000 float around your head.
You’ve heard that phrase before, “Live every moment as if it was your last.” In this season, as we remember singer, Goldie Harvey who passed on last week, it now more than ever before bears repetition. If the ‘Touch my body” singer knew that she was nearing the end of her days on earth, would she have done things differently? It’s quite difficult to say; because the dead don’t talk. But as we go through the last days of Goldie Harvey, perhaps you can answer that question for yourself.
Tiwa Savage would be chocolates, black on the outside, yummy on the inside. D’banj would be ice cream; his shades would prevent him from melting in the sun. M.I would be a teddy bear…just a bit taller. Dr. Sid would be designer mouth wash, it’s quite hard to give up being a dentist. Two face would be a coin; it’s not hard to imagine why. For P-square, it would be hard to tell, they’d be wrapped in a square box.
After its first few episodes, it’s fast becoming clear that anyone who wants to lose a large amount of money in record breaking time should simply apply to be on the money drop. Starting a game with 100, 000 dollars raw cash only to lose it all is bound to make some people really, really angry.
“Why did you not mention Abdul Mutallab?” someone commented, after reading last week’s article. The rest of the world does not need our help dragging our nation’s name in the mud; they’ve got that covered. But we as Nigerians need to be reminded that no matter how little the connection might be, there are stars out there whose roots are intertwined with ours. Now, even though the ‘L’ in Samuel L. Jackson does not stand for Lekan, there are a lot more Naija on the international scene.
Ink is the in thing for Nigerian celebrities as many of them, both male and female, show off engrafted designs on their skins. From cute to scary, check out some amazing celebrity tattoos.
20 tuxedo-garbed and dashingly good looking men who were displaying deft moves and choreography under the Heineken James Bond billboard across select areas in Lagos captivated passers-by for hours recently.
Tragedy struck again in the early hours of Sunday in Jos, Plateau state. In the LGA called Barkin-Ladi when a group of bandits suspected to be Fulani herdsmen, snuffed life out of a family of eight, including a four months old baby in a midnight raid.
I was with a friend the other evening when a call came through his phone. My friend picked up his phone and whispered into it for a while looking so bitter as if there was bile in his mouth.
The residents in Lagos recently witnessed flooding of the roads and traffic gridlocks following a five-hour down pour. It was reported on the News that workers were stranded at bus-stops while others reported late at their offices because of the rain.
