Image
Barely eight months after Chinedu Okoli a.k.a Flavour’s mouth watering deal and recording contract with American based record label; Badbeats Records, both parties have ended the relationship on a bad note. The agreement, a three year, two albums contract that included a seven bedroom apartment at Magodo, a state of the art Toyota Avalon automobile and several other fringe benefits necessary to make Flavour comfortable including a professional photograph session in South Africa and total artiste make over from looks to wardrobe is according to our source over. As part of the moves by the record label owners to turn around the fortune of the former Enugu State musician, had also concluded shoot for two of Flavour’s videos; My Woman Is Gone (shot in New York City, America) and Nwa Baby (shot in South Africa by Godfather).

PUBLIC GROOMING ADVICE FOR RONNIE DIKKO

Image
This life is beautiful, the more you live it, the more you learn, but when one feels too big to learn, it simply means he or she is about to perish, and we pray that our own generation shall not perish. Amen. No doubt is the fact that after work, one should relax, which informed the idea of hanging out every weekend while some, especially so called TV stars prefer parties, which is normal; but when one does these things constantly, it might have an unpleasant effect. Though Ronnie Diko, did not refuse to learn or go to Mogbo moya events, the actress was said to have complained at an event that she was not okay, and that she just managed to come to the event, when she was called to pose for Paparazzi. Having said that, those who can not but abusing her that is it a attend must to event?

UCHE IWUJI WARMS UP FOR AUGUST 28

Image
Oh! Sorry for the disappointment, not what you want to read about the actress or what that has been reported about her in the past. Uche Iwuji is not in any scandal that may shake the world come August 28, but she is throwing a superlative and one in town birthday party. This we learnt is going to be superb, as she is ready to give out to the less privileged people in the society and every guest that graces the occasion on the August to come. The actress, we scooped, is at the moment not decided the venue to use, but thinking of going to Charity homes to celebrate and encourage the rather hopeless children. We also scooped that the likes of Olamide, Wizkid, Goldie, Mochee’da and others may be called upon to enliven the event as fans request any of these singers to perform on that day; but we are yet to confirm who to play on that day from Uche herself. Who ever takes the chance, thank God that it is celebration moment, just don’t forget to send us our own.

WHAT ABOUT CLARION CHUKWURA’S BIRMINGHAM’S TOUR

Image
This beautiful and ageless screen goddess, who just returned to where she decided to go again after she packed out from Femi Egyptian, but later went back to him as wife, said in a statement with journalists in Lagos that she’s traveling to Birmingham city in London to shoot her new movie called Ese Mefa, which we learnt is address to our leaders in Nigeria about the way they suffered the nation and to the Nigerian youths who only go on the facebook to chat, rather than going online for research on what to do for survival in as much Nigeria leaders are greedy and passionate on how to convert government properties to self-owned possessions by selling PHCN, NNPC and other Nigerian resources. But ever since then, nothing much has been heard again from the stable of the mother of Clarience Peter who was one time lover to Afro JUJU music singer Sir Shina Peters before her fans then asking her what’s up with her tour to Birmingham? Incase Clarion Chukwura is reading this; please kindly tell

LIZZY ANJORIN OPENS “PEAK ME”

Image
The Iyawo Ojokan producer, Elizabeth Anjorin, as you read this, is at the moment a happy woman on the planet earth as good things have fallen to her side. Though, things can happen rapidly and it has happened to other colleagues in the make believe industry, negative, the good part of the coin seems to have fallen to her way; she’s at the moment fulfilling the promise she pledged to do in life as a human being. Not too long ago, she was said to have moved from an undersized abode, she was living in Ikorodu to a magnificent abode at Ogba Ijaiye, Lagos, and also bought a Murano jeep. The latest about the soft-spoken actress and single mother of one girl, is that she is at it again as she opened a store situated at Awori Bus-stop, Abule Egbe, Lagos, called Peak Me. Lizzy;s newly acquired store, we gathered, was opened on Monday 20th of June 2011, and is into the supply of all sorts of choice drinks, cosmetics, Jewelry, shoes, fabrics and other fashion materials you can think of.

IS AZEEZAT ALLEN CRITICALLY STRONG?

Image
What could have been battling this songstress Azeezat Allen, which has changed her totally from whatever you may think of. This has been the nagging question on the lips of many, who saw her recently at an event. Before now, Azeezat has not been in the news, music nor party scene, which made many to believe that she’s no longer in the line again, not until recently when the Kalorawagbo crooner, tried all she could to launch herself back and gain back the awareness she has lost from her fans, which one could say informed the idea of showing face at any occasion that she is called upon these days but it is indeed a pathetic and worrisome issue with the kind of hideous look she was putting on. Azeezat did not even entice anyone as she looked so tiny like a chameleon, just as she could not be recognized any more. Before the music buffs who could not but anticipate if something is actually rosy with the songstress, could not help pondering. Incase Azeezat is reading this; we implore you t

KENNETH OKONKWO CRIES OUT, “I’M NOT QUITTING MOVIE FOR LAW”

Image
For some time now, this versatile and multi-talented actor, who recently bagged an award at the just concluded Nigeria Cultural Ambassador Awards, held at Vantage Hotel, Lekki, Lagos, has not been on the movie scene, which many believe he may have totally dumped the profession for another one based on the economic melt down that is at the moment, facing not only entertainers but every other Nigerian to search for another means of survival. Recently SE went to track him down to know the fact of the fallacious tale being spread by some gossip merchants. Though, not everybody that knows that the amiable and soft-spoken actor is a lawyer not until during a chat with him where he made it known to us and other things he has been engaged in when we asked him about the rumour; hear what he said; movie is a hobby to me, I was already an actor before I became a lawyer, law should be the 4th out of five degrees that I bagged to my repute. I studied business administration in 1989, and after that

Sola Idowu, widely known as Weird MC was at the occasion alongside with a lot of Nigerian vocalists where they had come to do things accordingly without cheating, but Aunty Sola, was said to have begged to perform at the venue claiming a big fish in the pool of Nigerian music world, even as the MC at the event told her to exercise patience but without wasting time, according to the scoop, she hastily went on her knees for the MC and said she just managed herself to that occasion, and that she was ill. However the scoop has it that the set of people that were

Image
Late actor Ashley Nwosu, who many described as not just an entertainer in the movie industry, especially in the Igbo movie genre, but a role model, might have still be at the moment been on the planet as a living soul, if what people that are close to the actor are saying is anything to rely on. The actor was reported to have been battling with cancer, which later claimed his life couple of months back, but there is an untold secret behind his sudden death. If death is what one can pay for in order live long, late Ashley Nwosu would have lived till eternity, because we heard that there was no effort he did not employ to live but as they normally say, every human being walking on earth wears death’s gown. So this may be the course. The amazing secret behind his sudden death, according to the information flying around, is that the late actor did conceal a lot, which led to his departure.

Well, every one has his or her own opinion on any matter that surfaces or goes for whatever that will suit him or her. Though the, son of Salami Adebayo widely known as Oga Bello, former national president of Association of Nigeria Theatre Art Practitioner, Femi Adebayo, who was recently alleged to have ruined his matrimonial home with his now estranged mistress Funke Akindele that came to stadium via her block-buster movie Jennifer and also alleged to have dated this and that which qualifies him to be in the list of controversial ambassadors. He was not in a hurry before she opened up what his capacity could carry. A gist merchant hinted us that the energetic actor was at an event last week where he was opportune to anchor the event with Delta state-born actress, Cynthia Amadi who came to stardom via Wale Adenuga’s Super Story, a weekly TV programme shown on local stations in Nigeria. Femi was said to have been cracking jokes but his jokes not to be funny as the guests refused to la

WHEN NGOZI NWOSU DRANK HERSELF TO STUPOUR

Image
It was indeed a dramatic day when the petite and stubborn wife of Chief FUJI, in the popular sitcom, Fuji House of Commotion, Ngozi Nwosu, otherwise known as artificial Yellow Pawpaw drank herself to the fullest at a World pageant held in Lagos on Sunday 19th June 2011. The occasion which we learnt was full of choice drinks and small chops might have been the reason why the diminutive actress decided to go on a roller-coaster with the assorted drinks on parade. As a result, after having a full dose of one of the choice drinks called KISS MIX she got herself drowned in drunkenness and the effect was so obvious that she started behaving funny. According to a Tatafo who witnessed the show of shame, said after soaking herself in the alcoholic drink she began to make unnecessary and irrelevant banters with a fellow actress Jennifer Eliogu who was sitting few rows away from Yellow Pawpaw to the extent that people around began to scorn her, but she did not mind as the effect of alcohol had t

Image
For those of you clamouring for fantastic flicks from the stable of these sultry twins Taiwo and Kehinde Oshadipe, who stormed the industry few years back, but currently making waves due to the what we gathered they now have to offer in the Nigerian entertainment circuit, let us hastily whisper this to your ears that the duo are out with another fun-making music entitled Destiny Calling, which is set to be released on 17th July 2011. The song, which was produced by Wole Oni, DJ Slits.

Anywhere you go, just remember to send us your birthday cake, as SE says a loud congratulation, long life and prosperity to the celebrant in advance.

WHEN FRANK EDOHO THREW SHOWBIZ STARS AGOG WITH JOKES

Image
Penultimate weekend, at the just concluded Miss Global Nigeria, held at the Grandeur Events Center, Oregun Lagos, People at the event were wondering if the popular quiz master and broadcaster par excellence, Frank Edoho of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire fame, has once been in the comic world or he just developed the interest as many controversies have been flying around that he may lose his job very soon based on the challenges he is facing with the sponsor of the programme, MTN and the kind of unpleasant behaviour he applies to his lifestyle which led to the crash of his marriage to his estrange, wife Katherine. The guests at the occasion were thrown off balance, reeling with laughter. The likes of Clarion Peters, Halima Abubahar, Chiomal Toplis, Jennifer Eliogu, Righteous Man, Benita Nzeribe, and other notable dignitaries, and celebrities were held spell-bound with Frank’s dexterity at cracking jokes. And to be sincere, Frank Edoho’s jokes are funnier than those who call and pride t

CHIOMA TOPLIS, ACTRESS WITHOUT COMPLIMENTARY CARD

Image
Sometimes, SE feel’s so awful with the kind of reckless life these so called Nigerian showbiz stars live. Their parrot has nothing at home yet they will be the one to announce publicly what God has done for them. Bible says humble yourself so that you can be lifted up, ask and you shall be given and knock, the door it shall be opened, but our so called TV stars have no business to do with these priceless gift given by God. Wait a little bit; we will analyze the trio of priceless gifts to you. If you can still re collect, sometime ago, there were lots of controversies on this boob-flaunting actress that another showbiz personality was owing her, where she insisted to garner the money back which yours faithfully went further to know the truth of the matter from the horse’s mouth and she made it known to us that it was true that the creditor colleague is a friend like enemy, that she was thinking of how to send her back to genesis, which means the self-acclaimed UK-based actress, who’s k

IS EBUBE NWAGBO ILL?

Image
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, they say, that is an adage that properly illustrates the chemistry of one of Nigeria’s hottest stars who is also a big fish in the pool of Nigeria’s make believe world, highly controversial Ebube Nwagbo. Though it is only God that knows the source of income of any human being, especially in Nigeria where every body engages in unpleasant things to generate money for survival, and no doubt, politicians in Nigeria are like Chief Ambassadors when it comes to financing atrocities, followed by fraudsters known as Yahoo Boys, while Showbiz own is to jostle for Allen Job, hope you know that? We didn’t say prostitution but something similar to that. First time that this actress flaunted her Hummer Jeep at an event, it created a lot of controversies that how and where did she find the money from, while other movie buffs intruded that how many locations does she visit in a month, let alone of year that will fetch her such huge amount of money to ac

THE SECRET BEHIND LEPA SHANDY’S MARITAL STATUS CONFESSION

Image
If you are conversant with this magazine, you will recall that some time last year, we reported the sudden separation of this slim actress Lepa Shandy from her husband Kazeem who we gathered, was not comfortable with the kind of character his wife possesses and pronto, packed his bags and baggages and spirited abroad; a story which she came out blatantly to debunk after the issue became public talk. Without wasting time, after some months that she denied the story, Shade Omoniyi, widely known as Lepa Shandy, shamefully confessed in an interview with one of the renowned magazines in Lagos State, City People Magazine, precisely late November last year that her matrimony has crashed like the ill-fated Sosoliso air crash two years ago. One was then wondering what pushed her to confess publicly that she has ruined her matrimony, until of the recent when information making the rounds revealed the amazing secret behind her inability to keep her marriage. There are lots of people who are sup

TUFACE, YVONNE CHAKA CHAKA TO COLLABO

While tongues are still wagging over the impetuous appearance of UK-based gangster rapper Snoop Dog, in one of the D’Banj’s hit tracks (Mr. Endowed) that rocked the air waves not too long ago, many Nigerian artistes have been getting fanatical over the act to feature foreign songsters in their album in order to compete with the record that Koko Master made and to arrest the attention of their fans and also to make use of those alien stars’ image to sell their music. Some of the Nigerian artistes that were rumoured to feature foreign vocalists are J-Martins, who was said to have featured Hip Don’t Lie crooner Shakira, on his yet to be done album, Faze to feature Akon and Wyclef Jean, while Tuface was linked with Bob Marley’s wife and other far-off songstress. Now, the latest rumour making the rounds about the newly introduced idea of Nigerian artistes is that the versatile and energetic singer who claim to be a saint but has multiple kids from his so-called girl friends, Innocent Id
