Dayo D1 Opens Up on Alleged Break Up with Kenny
If the information posted on the facebook profile page of Dayo D1
Adeneye, partner to Kenny Ogungbe in Primetime Entertainment, actually
emanated from him, then there's no truth whatsoever in the the news
reported by yemojanews to the effect that the duo have parted ways due
to financial disagreements.
Reacting to the rumoured break up, Dayo said...
"Friends, pls do not encourage those MORONS trying to spoil our good
name/brand by helping them spread the false rumours. Keke and myself
remain the best of friends and biz partners. We have been friends since
the days of garri n ewa agoyin and would never ever let money
come between us. There is no iota of truth to the rubbish being
circulated on the internet. God bless."
If indeed nothing of such ever existed between the two, where then did
yemajonews got their information from? Although it is believed that
there is no smoke without fire, we must however keep our fingers crossed
and wait patiently to identify where this smoke is actually coming
from. Because, e be like say some bad belle people don start work again.

foreign trip took a few minutes to give his own side of the story about
his marriage. Sources have claimed that the couple are battling with
infidelity issues and may be heading to the court soo.

STELLA DAMASUS: What Type Of Person Are You?
Sometimes I sit down and try to take stock of my life and its numerous
stages. It amazes me to see how far I have come, even in the midst of
the storm. God is indeed faithful to those who love and serve him.
Growing up was a bit funny for me outside the walls of my home. I grew up in a wonderfully balanced family with a lot of love and care from both my parents, who were bankers, my older sisters who taught me so much, and my late kid brother even though his time was short.
Growing up was a bit funny for me outside the walls of my home. I grew up in a wonderfully balanced family with a lot of love and care from both my parents, who were bankers, my older sisters who taught me so much, and my late kid brother even though his time was short.
This was such a huge problem for me as a young girl, to the point that I was not able to enjoy boarding school.
I thought the world hated me and I did not fit in, and that was when I heard that people called me an Osu, which means Outcast, just because of my surname. That actually made me laugh at the end of the day, seeing that most people did not even know the origin or history of my name.
As funny as this might sound, I started avoiding people; I did not want to make friends so I had only two of them.
Deep inside my heart I would think hard and try to trace the source of these issues. It made me believe the saying that: there is no smoke without fire. So, for people to say all these about me, there must have been things I did that triggered the talk and the hatred. Now I know better because the world has changed so much that all you need to do to attract so much hatred and jealousy, is to EXIST.
After thinking so for so long, I arrived at the same answer as before which was: I am not a bad person and I have not done anything to deserve this.
No matter how hard I tried to believe my truth, people just had a way of putting me in a box.
This was entirely my fault because now I know for sure that no one can put you in a box unless you let them.
After so many years of being paranoid about what people were saying about me, I finally opened up to my parents.
My mother laughed so hard that I wondered if she heard a word of what I said. That was when my father (God rest his soul) looked at me and said, “have you taken a good look at yourself in the mirror? Have you not noticed how beautiful you are, or are you saying you do not know you are intelligent?”
At that point I just felt it was a normal encouragement line that a parent would give his child to make the child feel better, but I soon realised it was far from it.
Then he said: “Can’t you see that you are different because you are special? Do you need anyone to tell you how blessed you are?”
I looked at him and said: “But daddy, if I am all these things, how come people say all these bad things about me?”
At this point, I was almost crying, but in his usual way he looked at me and said: “My friend, will you stand firm and listen to me? You and your sisters are special, in fact very rare in a good way. You are like further mathematics”.
“Ah ah daddy, what has further mathematics got to do in this matter?” I had to ask that question to know we were on the same page.
My dad went ahead to explain: “Further mathematics is a subject just like every other one, there is nothing evil or bad about it but people hate it so much. They hate it because they believe it is very difficult. Now, it is difficult for them because they don’t understand it.
“People hate what they don’t understand, and the truth is that only a very few patient and intelligent people will diligently study and understand it. When they do, they become geniuses and professors.
“So, if people don’t understand you and can’t place a tag on you, they will see you as a difficult thing. Most people might not know how to handle your intimidating presence, even when you don’t say a word.
“As a result, they will end up saying negative things about you since they can’t stand the strength of your existence. So, my dear why don’t you focus your energy on the few who understand and the positive things your existence should bring?” he added.
That day changed my whole life so much, I was so grateful to my father for what he taught me.
As I was about to leave, my mother called me and said, “there are three types of people in this world:
A: Those who were born to be talked about because of who they are,
B: Those who were born to talk about others because that is all they are,
C: Those who were born to observe because they don’t know who they are,
Which one would you rather be my dear?”
I smiled because I knew that I was a TYPE A.
After that day, I promised myself that I would never allow people who don’t even know me, make me feel like I am not worth it.
It is very easy to sit down and talk about others, judge them and try to destroy their reputation. In actual fact, your problems are much bigger than you can carry, so you use idle talk to run away from your own issues. Guess what? After you are done talking about others, your problem that has been chilling on your bed, will be waiting for you to come back and give it a big hug.
When you think about life, you might have a different analogy about God, the world and man.
This is how I see it: God the creator sets a mini clock on every human being, He opens his big shopping mall which is the earth. Then he gives us all a shopping list to go into the shopping mall and buy everything on our list. He also sets the clock to a time which he knows should be enough for us to finish our shopping.
Bear in mind that everybody has a different list, and from the moment he hands you the money (talent, skills, health, wisdom, brain, etc) and your list, your own clock starts to count.
So, imagine that we have all come to this shopping mall, you see Stella walking in and out of shops buying the things on her list. Then you stop and start to laugh at her ugly shoes, you call your friends and start to talk about the old fashioned chair she bought. Stella walks past you again and you start to laugh at her cheap weavon and the fact that there is too much blue in her eye shadow.
In all of this, you are so caught up in your psychoanalysis and gossip about Stella, that you forget that your clock is still ticking away. Meanwhile, the person you are talking about is trying her best to buy everything on her shopping list, and make it back home early before she runs out of time.
This is what will happen; Stella will finish buying the items on her list, and go home right on time. On the flip side, you who have wasted more than half your own time following someone around, will not be able to finish buying the things on your list before the shop closes and your time is up.
A lot of people have filled up the graves with DEAD DREAMS and VISIONS. They spend the life span and energy God has given them for their own purpose on others and waste time minding other people’s business.
It is so sad and painful but most importantly it does not make sense to me, especially for adults.
Some people say it is as a result of joblessness but I disagree. I insist that if you have time to talk about others, then you should have time to try and discover yourself, spend time knowing who you are.
What is your purpose on earth?
What are you supposed to be doing at this point in your life?
Are you satisfied with where you are right now?
Are you doing what you have always wanted to do?
Are you adding value to people around you?
Are you ready to take your situation to the next level?
What do you want to be remembered for?
What are your ambitions?
Have you accomplished up to half the things you set for yourself?
Trust me, if you spend your time trying to answer all these questions and work on them, you will find that you won’t have time for idle talk, you will also realise that you don’t have enough hours in a day to do the things you really want to do, especially the things that you love.
My question to you is: What type of person are you?
TYPE A, B or C?
I know who I am and have no apologies for it. So, I hope you will make it out of the shopping mall on time, at the right time with your items complete.
Evangelist Arrested And Paraded For Armed Robbery
It was learnt that Prophet Samson Oluwamode, founder of the...
Prayer Centre Church of God, located in Akure, Ondo State, where Wale
worships, had - few weeks before the November 22, 2011, bank robbery -
warned that a member of the church who is into robbery should quit or
would be caught and disgraced after a successful robbery operation.
Wale ignored his Pastor's warning and
participated in what was regarded as the bloodiest robbery in the state.
He and his team succeeded and went away with millions of naira.
However, barely two months after the incident, detectives from the Ondo State Police Command arrested Wale and four others who participated in the robbery. They were paraded by the Commissioner of Police in the State, Mr. Sani Magaji, before newsmen on Friday.
Some members of Wale’s church who know him, rushed to the scene when words filtered in that a member of their congregation had been arrested for robbery.
During questioning, Wale confessed that he was among the gang of armed robbers that invaded the Bank on the said date, and killed four persons in the process.

Wicked! Man Stabs His Own Mother to Death in Lagos
But, could the action of this man who took the life of his own mother in
Lagos be blamed on ‘pressure’ or is it a clear case of wickedness and
total stupidity? What kind of a son would find it easy to kill his own
mother in such a heartless manner? Continue to the read the story...
Segun Bakare, 28, has been arrested and charged to the Ijeshatedo
Magistrate court in Lagos for killing his mother, Mrs. Kudirat Bakare.
He was alleged to have used a rope to strangle her while she was asleep.
The late Kudirat, according to eye witnesses, struggled to save her
life but the wicked Segun ensured that she died by using a broken bottle
to stab her.
The sad incident took place at No. 3 Musa Street, Mushin, Lagos. The
circumstance that led Segun to murder Kudirat is one that could be said
to be very trivial. Neighbours said he Segun had a quarrel with his mom
and moved out of their family house. Only for him to return while the
woman was asleep and tied her neck with a rope, strangled her, broke a
bottle and stabbed her all over her body.
She bled profusely and died before neighbours could rush her to
hospital. Immediately Segun discovered that she’s dead, he tried to
escape but was overpowered and held by neighbours who in turn handed him
to the police. The offence he committed, according to the police, was
contrary to section 319 of the criminal code cap 38, vol. 2 laws of
Lagos state of Nigeria 2004.
When the matter came up at the court, the prosecutor, Inspector Ezekiel
Ayorinde, told the court that the crime was a capital offence and would
require the attention of the state’s DPP. Consequently, the presiding
magistrate, Mrs. D. T. Olalokun, ordered that Segun be remanded at the
Kirikiri Maximum Prison, Lagos, pending the DPP’s advice... May God save
our women (and mothers) from violent men!
Another Gang-Rape Case: 5-Man Gang Rapes 15-Year-Old Girl for 2 Weeks
The teenager was abducted while on her way to...
the Igando area of Lagos where she lives with her parents. The victim’s
parents reported the incident at the police station in Igando, but not
much progress was achieved until after two weeks when the criminals
hideout was busted. The teenage girl sustained several injuries as she was mercilessly rough handled by her captors. She's said to be receiving treatment at the General Hospital, Igando.
Consequently, the police arraigned the four suspects before a Magistrate
court for Conspiracy, Abduction, Assault and Rape. After a careful
study of the matter, Chief Magistrate Shery Solebo ordered that the case
be transferred to the Ikeja High Court for substantive trial.
The suspects are: Tony Igbo (32), Onyekachi Joshua (34), Paul Ibeh and
Chika Eze, a 22-year-old woman - said to be the victim’s friend - who
allegedly lured her to where she was abducted... This latest case brings
to five, the number of rape cases that have been reported in the the
last five weeks. But who knows how many would have happened that nobody
reported?
I Can't Sleep With A Producer For Fame, But... –Actress
She is tall, elegant and beautiful to say the least. She is an actress
who believes she has what it takes to become successful in her career.
This she has proved through a few jobs she has done. Hannah Ojo, who
hails from Ekiti State, talks about her challenges and love for acting.
Are you ready to pay the price to become a star?
When you talk about paying price, I have been doing that since 2005. It
is not easy as I said but it has to do with determination. I could have
said okay I want to turn back after two years that nothing came out of
it but I saw that there is something in me that really want to go ahead.
I have paid the price in terms of money and I am still willing to pay more prices.
What do you mean by paying money?
Actually, in some productions, you would be asked to pay and register under them to be a member before they would start giving you jobs. There are so many productions like that, where you pay and at the end of the day, they would not do anything. They would give you scripts, you waste your time to study it, to go for rehearsals and at the end of day, they would not do it. It might take you two weeks to go for rehearsals consistently, but at the end, your money and energy would be wasted.
You said that you are ready to pay more prices, if you are to sleep with a producer or director, would you do that?No, I won’t do that. I have had stuffs like that but I turned back because I didn’t want to get famous through that means.
Are you aware that if you don’t do that you would remain where you are?
Yes, you may remain where you are but not forever. If you are very good, even if it is little jobs that you are doing, at a time, you would blow as long as producers or directors are satisfied with your jobs.

Since 2005 till date, how many movies have you acted?
I have done three movies and so many soap operas. I did My Story, Wrong Passion, Edge Of Paradise, Needle’s Eye, Burning Spear, Private Sector, Clinic Matters and many others.
How do you intend to overcome all these challenges?
I really do not know but by the grace of God, I know that one day, the time would come and I would overcome it, and I think that the time is now.
What is your selling point?
It is my face, boobs and height.
What attracts men to you?
At first, men look at the outward thing before looking at the inside. The first thing that attracts them is my boobs and I think my eyes attract them too.
If you are to get a lead role and the price is to sleep with the producer, what would you do?
I will not do that because I feel that it should not be the way to climb the ladder of success. I did not do it when I started so, I will not do it now.
Can you act nude?
I can’t act nude but I can kiss. It is not until you act nude that you would become a super star. Acting has to do with what you can do and what you cannot. You have to set a standard for yourself. I know some artistes who did not act nude before they got to where they are now. There are some other things one can do to become a super star.
What are your expectations?
My expectation is just to be well known. I want the producers to give me the opportunity to prove that I can do it. Acting is all about being given the opportunity to do something. If you are not given the opportunity, nobody would know what you can do. You don’t find yourself rising in acting without the opportunity being given to you. It has to do with opportunity. My expectation is to be more recognized by producers and directors.
LIZ ANJORIN: Why People See Me As A Bad Girl
Controversial actress, Liz Anjorin speaks about her career and and other
critical issues, including her estranged relationship with Iyabo Ojo,
a fellow actress. Enjoy the interview as conducted by ’Nonye

Life as an only child
When I was growing up, life was fun. But at a point in my life, I discovered that it was not all that exciting. It was worse when my parents died, leaving only me behind. I felt empty. If I had siblings, I would argue and play with them. But when I lost my parents, and as an only child, I began to see the other side of life. That was when I discovered those who truly loved me...
I miss my parents and those who would have been my siblings. My dad died
in 2007. I’m trying to do something about my parents’ burial. I just
lost my mother late last year. I want to perform the final burial rites
for both of them soon. I’m their only child. Now I’m an orphan. I leave
everything to God. That is why I’m celebrating their lives. People think
I would have limitations since I was an only child. I want to prove
them wrong. I also want to tell them that being a woman does not
undermine my capabilities. I’m inviting top musicians to the burial. My
colleagues in the movie industry will also be there, even those living
abroad.
My new movie
I have a new movie entitled, Kofo Tinubu. I had to do something about the physically-challenged people. They have been totally left out of the society. Some parents don’t even want to be identified with their kids who are physically-challenged and so they lock them indoors. Every child is from God. If a child is an imbecile or he is deaf and dumb, it doesn’t mean that he will not make it in life. We all have our challenges. It mustn’t be physical. Some of us have worse challenges.

So, we shouldn’t feel that physically-challenged people should be
removed from the society. That is basically what the story line is all
about. I played the role of the physically challenged. It was very
tasking. Many actors appeared in the movie, including Olumide Bakare,
Baba Latin and Elesho. The movie is a comedy, but it has a message. This
is my fifth movie. I produce one movie in a year. I love doing stories
that have messages.
Coping with challenges in Nollywood
I have never relented, not even once. I believe so much in myself. I do a lot of things and I always make sure that I am successful in everything I do. Some people know me as an actress and others know me as an interior decorator or wine seller. But whatever I do, I always put in my best. I know some scandals have been associated with me. Because of what people have written about me, some people don’t even know that I am a very cool-headed person.
My assets
If you say that I’m one of the rich Yoruba actresses in the movie industry, I can only thank God for it. I’m not doing anything illegal. I don’t go out of my way to make money through immoral means. But as I told you, acting is not the only thing I do. I import wines and I’m a decorator. I supply stuff. This should make me comfortable. Apart from film acting, I run six businesses. You should understand that one can do better in the movie industry only when one has some money. It is not all about moving from one film location to another. I started doing business when I was very little.

My mum used to tell me to work hard, as if she knew she was going to
die. She always encouraged me to do something worthwhile. I’m from
Badagry and you know my people love to do business. My business can
never clash with my acting career. I make hay while the sun shines.
Everything is about time and how you manage it. When I get married, I
may not have the time to run around. So I want to use this time and run
around and do the things I know that I will not be able to do when I
start a family.
Cliques
How can I belong to a clique and bear funny names? The last time I heard of a group with a funny name was when I was still in the university. There, some girls were calling themselves members of the Black Bra. Now you are saying that there is a group of ladies in the movie industry known as Pink Ladies, I have never heard of the group and I am not a part of it. I don’t belong to any clique or caucus, except the Association of Theatre Arts Practitioners. That is the clique I belong.

Whatever you are will sell you to the world. You cannot be like me and I
cannot be like you. It is all about destiny. I always do my best for
myself and for my fans. I don’t smoke and I don’t drink, but you need to
see the way I smoke cigarette in the movies. People believe I am a bad
girl. I am not one at all. You can see my daughter. I take care of my
family. And I train them well.
My relationship with Iyabo Ojo
I don’t want to talk about Iyabo Ojo. That matter is stale and this is 2012. If you ever catch me talking about her, do what you like to me. How could I have fought her over a man? It was the same old ‘aunty’ issue that caused the problem between both of us. She said I should be calling her ‘Aunty’ and I refused. I’m older than some people in the movie industry, but I don’t think I ought to fight them because they don’t call me ‘aunty.’

This thing happened a few years ago. She is not my friend, I don’t know
her, and we don’t talk to each other. One late producer casted both of
us in a movie before he died. She was busy abusing me. I didn’t even say
a word. If I had said something, it would have turned to another thing.
The only person I can fight is somebody who wants to stop me from doing
my business or acting. How can I fight with somebody who cannot feed or
clothe me? She is not an issue. I want to perform my parents’ final
burial rites and not talk about nonentities.
Awards
I only have to thank God for them. I started winning awards when I was still in the university. I was the best actress of the year at the Top Celebrity Awards event.
Relationships
I will let you know when I’m getting married. Do you want me to tell you so that you will tell the whole world? Do you want me to tell you that I’m a virgin? There is a man in my life, but I don’t want to talk about him. The father of my daughter is dead. So, I will get married one day.
Future aspirations
I will leave that to God. But I’m hoping for good. You know what I can do. I know everything will be great and will unfold in God’s time.#

37yrs Old Man Rapes His Own Mother
Even police officers investigating the matter have not been able to come to terms as to what could have made this 37-year old man (name withheld) who's living with his mother to have committed such unimaginable abomination.
The man has been arrested for forcefully having intercourse with his
mother and he’s now cooling off in custody. Although the case will be
tried in court, the identity of the man is being concealed because
revealing his name and image would automatically expose the victim of
his sexual escapade – which is his 57-year old mother.
According to police findings, the man asked his mother to come into his
room and hold a table for him so as to enable him climb and change a
light bulb. But as soon as she held the table, he grabbed her from
behind and raped her... The incident took place in the US (in Shelby
County) but the rapist and his mother are blacks.

What A Shame!
Father and Son Arrested for Armed Robbery
According to State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Magaji, the gang was
arrested in connection with various robberies in the Akungba-Akoko axis
of the State. But Mr. Suleima, who claimed he is a night guard,...
denied being a robber but admitted that his son gave his gun to a
friend, Kayode Ariyo, who is believed to be a notorious armed robber.
During questioning, Ariyo confessed that he became an armed robber
because he had nobody to take care of him.
Items recovered from the suspects, according to Mr. Magaji, were locally
made pistols, AK 49 rifles, one mask and one HP laptop... All the
suspects will be charged to court soon.
"I Just Found Myself Like This and I Can’t Question God"
In an exclusive chat, popular Nollywood actor, Osita Iheme, who was
recently nominated alongside four other top players in the industry for
an MFR award, opens up on some personal issues that many people did not
know about him before now.
The diminutive actor said: "I was born in the early 80s... I was a
normal baby when I was born. I can’t say that this was when I stopped
growing but I just grew up to find myself like this. I just found myself
like this and I can’t question God but I keep working hard to become
somebody in life".

Diminutive Nollywood star, Osita Iheme famously known as Pawpaw recently
opened up about a deep pain in his heart, which has continued to stick
out like a sore thumb. The quiet and unassuming thespian in an
exclusive chat during a courtesy visit to the Isolo corporate head
office of Entertainment Express sensationally revealed that an
unresolved mystery still surrounds the death of his dear father, two
decades after the sad event occurred.
“With him, I know my academic ambitions would have been realised up to
PhD level and so many other things I wanted to do if he were alive
today”, he laments. Recalling the sad event leading to the untimely
death of his dear father, the famous entertainer revealed.
“I was very young then. I can’t really say much about him because I was still a baby when he passed on. From what I learnt, he was a trader who travels a lot and was into merchandising. He made sure that his children were well brought up.
“I was very young then. I can’t really say much about him because I was still a baby when he passed on. From what I learnt, he was a trader who travels a lot and was into merchandising. He made sure that his children were well brought up.
He raised us with a good moral upbringing and the fear of God. He was
that kind of father. He was a tall man. I can’t say this was what killed
him. He just went home and we were told that he was dead, meaning he
was killed.” Read below for more on the rags to riches story of the
actor who shot into limelight with the role of Pawpaw in the 2002
blockbuster movie Aki Na Ukwa as he tells a team of EE editors his
inspiring sojourn to the top of his career.
I was a normal child while growing up
I am an adult, I am not a child. At anytime, I don’t feel like a child. I was born in the early 80s. I mark my birth every 20th of February. I was a normal baby when I was born. I can’t say that this was when I stopped growing but I just grew up to find myself like this. I just found myself like this and I can’t question God but I keep working hard to become somebody in life. Definitely my mother must have been worried about my growth but what can she do? It has happened and she had to accept the situation the way it was. We are five children in the family including a girl and four boys. I am the last born. Two of my siblings are based in Europe, while the other two are importers. The only lady is working with an oil company.
Raised in Aba
My mother was very hardworking and determined. When I lost my father, she raised us alone. She single-handedly took care of everybody like a man would. She did everything to make sure that I become something in life and I thank God today that she is not disappointed. She is dedicated and hardworking. We were young when our father left us but she ensured that we didn’t feel his absence so much. She was just a trader.

She did everything to make sure that I become something in life and I thank God today that she is not disappointed. She is dedicated and hardworking. We were young when our father left us but she ensured that we didn’t feel his absence so much. She was just a trader.
My childhood was rough. Like I said earlier, I lost my dad at a young age. The kind of environment where I grew up, kids were expected to be up and doing and become survivors. Being streetwise in Aba prepared me for a great life ahead. The kind of orientation I got from that phase of my life taught me that even when there is no job employment, there are a lot of things one can lay one’s hand on and touch good money at the end of the day. If I can survive in Aba, then I can survive anywhere else.
I schooled in Aba at College Primary School and National High School. I am currently in year one studying Computer Science at the University of Lagos (UNILAG). I am in school now because if I had gotten the backing I wanted as a kid, I would have pursued my education up to the level of Ph.D. I was supposed to study Law; it is one course of study I love so much. Of course, I have played the role of a Lawyer in Criminal Law.
My father was killed mysteriously
I lost my father in 1990 under a mysterious circumstance. I was very
young then. I can’t really say much about him because I was still a baby
when he passed on. From what I learnt, he was a trader who travels a
lot and was into merchandising. He made sure that his children were well
brought up. He raised us with a good moral upbringing and the fear of
God. He was that kind of father. He was a tall man. I can’t say this was
what killed him. He just went home and we were told that he was dead.
Let me add that he was a chief in his community.
I took after him his composure and confidence. He has a mind of his own and he would tell anyone what is wrong to their face. I also took the ability to be independent and fend for myself from him.
There was no father-figure except my mother. Everything that shaped my personality, I got from my mother. She was also busy playing different roles in our lives at the same time; providing our daily bread and all that. I miss the man because I remember stories my elder ones told me about how he would discipline them. On her part my mother was not an iron lady.
I can’t recall much on how he died, but I asked them what was wrong. I just remember my mother wailing on that particular morning calling my father, Lawyer Ndigbo, a name my late father earned for being a mediator in the community. Interestingly, I had a foreboding of my father’s death in a dream. In my dream, I saw that I lost my dad. When I woke up I shared my dream with them not knowing that it had already happened the previous night. We were living in Aba but my father died in our village.
I can’t say that I am a spiritualist but God has a way of communicating
with me through dreams. In several other instances in my life, I had
received instructions from God through dreams. I am a Catholic and I
attend church regularly. I so much believe in God. I don’t mind the
attention I get from fans when I attend church. I rarely go to places
where my security won’t be guaranteed.
Downside of the celebrity life
Downside of the celebrity life
Well the price one has to pay as a celebrity is that there is no more
privacy for one any longer. I now live constantly in full public glare.
Every time one comes out in the public, one has to always look happy
even when all is not well because that is when fans would want to take
pictures with one. There is a huge demand on the celebrity to be always
accommodating to fans at all times. I can no longer enter Okada.
Before I became a celebrity, boarding a motor circle (Okada) was not a big deal.
Before I became a celebrity, boarding a motor circle (Okada) was not a big deal.
Managing my size
As for facing discrimination on account of my size, I have never allowed
that to happen. I don’t allow what people say to dictate how I see
myself. Like I said earlier, I am a strong-minded person and I don’t
allow certain things to bug me or weigh me down. I also try to surround
myself with positive people. I wouldn’t even give anybody the chance to
kill my spirit anyway.
Close shave with death
I can’t recall exactly how it happened but there was an incident when we
travelled from Aba to Enugu. I sat in front with the driver. I don’t
know what happened to the driver but the next thing I realised was that I
had an impact with the dash board. I didn’t make use of a seat belt but
the lesson I learnt from that encounter was clear; to always use my
seat belt especially when I am on the highway.
Another close shave was when the late Jaiye Aboderin passed on and Aki, Lancelot and I were driving to their home to condole with the bereaved wife and colleague of ours, Stella Damasus. Unfortunately, we ran into a check point manned by armed robbers posing as fake policemen. Sensing what was to befall us, I told Lancelot to zoom past them. But we were unlucky as they flagged us down. Aki who sat at the front was mistaken for a small girl because his hair was in braids at that time. So they assumed he was Lancelot’s daughter. I crawled in between the back seats and was lucky they didn’t discover me.
What I do with my money
I see myself as a leader especially by being able to live up to my
responsibilities and delegate duties to others. With the position I have
found myself today, I can say that I am a leader. I have varying
business interests. There is the Osita Iheme World and Talent
Multilinks, which I run with my family. We are into importation and
transportation. I am also into micro credit schemes where I assist young
people with funds to operate businesses like tricycle business among
other things.
Aki and I not fighting
Nothing happened between Aki and I contrary to what is constantly being
reported by a section of the media. It’s just that we are no longer
living together. We lived together in a flat in Lagos for a long while
but at a point the apartment could no longer contain us because each of
us had family and friends with us. We tried to search for a Duplex but
couldn’t find and opted for separate apartments. People have also said
we separated on account of him getting the national honour of MFR, which
I did not get. But such people don’t even know that I accompanied him
to Abuja to receive the award.
We became friends on the set of Aki Na Ukwa. We met for the first time on that set and they kept us in the same room. After the success of that movie, we further made joint appearances in several other movies and got closer to each other. We got to understand each other more and shared a mutual respect for each other too. I see Aki as my brother. We can have arguments over business or any other thing but we don’t quarrel. People expected us to quarrel but we don’t. I can say it is a divine connection because we never knew each other from Adam yet many people can’t tell if we are blood brothers or just friends. What I like about Aki is that he understands me very well and knows when I am happy and when I am not.
I can be unhappy when I am not getting what I want. For instance, I am somebody who likes to take care of people and when I don’t have the means to do so, it makes me sad. I derive joy from helping people and making people happy. It gives me pleasure when people get something from me.
Shopping for my clothes size
I buy my jeans and other attires the same place as every adult like me. I
simply look for a section where I can find my size and shop. I only get
custom made clothes when I am providing the fabric material. When I
shop for clothes in London, I don’t have to do so in a child-wear
boutique, I simply go to a general store and pick my size. When I walk
on the streets of London, the reaction I get is the same. A lot of my
fans mob me and request for pictures. The only people that can be rude
to me on account of my size are fans who get carried away by excitement.
I try as much as possible to take pictures with fans and respond to as
many as I can.
Face-to-face with crocodile
My latest movie is Mirror Boy which was shot in The Gambia. It was one
of my most challenging movies ever. I was made to touch a live crocodile
in the movie. Over there, it was not a strange thing because they have a
crocodile pool. Initially, I declined to play that part because I was
scared for my dear life. But the director and the crew persuaded me and I
was face-to-face with the reptile; even went as far as touching the
deadly animal. Notwithstanding, that was not the only challenging role I
have played in a movie; Criminal Law was another of my very challenging
movies.
What makes it challenging was the robust dialogue which runs into
several pages as well as the interpretation of the characters. I prepare
for a role by praying to God for guidance after reading the scripts and
accepting to be a part of the movie. This is because I know that once I
get into the character, it is another personality entirely and not me.
Then I try to familiarize with the other actors playing alongside with
me so that we can flow. I am a professional actor, I don’t think that
there is any role that I would not like to play.
I’m I a good actor?
What makes a good actor is the ability to play a role convincingly. For
me, I didn’t learn acting; it’s just a gift from God. I got a little
training from the New York film Academy, aside that everything else I
know about acting is just a gift from God. My first movie is entitled
Cold Blood, it was released over a decade ago. It was a story about a
boy whose father was killed during an armed robbery attack. As an actor I
am expected to be versatile, so the ability to play different roles is
not a big deal. However, I must confess that playing the role of a kid
is challenging no doubt about it, because as an adult, I have to adapt
to the mannerisms of a child. I love children so I observe them to be
able to play the role of a child very well. Children are very innocent.
The name Pawpaw originated in 2002 after I played a role in the movie Aki na Ukwa. In the movie, Chinedu Ikedieze and I played the roles of Aki and Pawpaw. Since then, the name got stuck. I thank God that the name has helped me a lot and it has opened a lot of doors for me. In fact, it has taken over my real name.
Sam Loco’s death
Sam Loco was a dad. He was someone who comes down to one’s level to make
you feel at ease. In spite of his age, he was very down to earth and
humble. He has made good money and great name for himself, yet he has no
problem relating with anybody. The news of his death came like a rude
shock to me. I got the news via Blackberry. Even if one is on stage with
him and one forgets ones lines, he will gladly remind one. He was not
like the other actors who will just stop and leave you alone to disgrace
yourself, he likes to encourage young actors. I acted my first movie,
Cold Blood with him.
Me, Marry an actress?
Of course, I can marry an actress. I am already thinking of marriage and
it will happen very soon. I don’t know the person yet. I can only say
that there a couple of them in the picture who I am considering. But as a
young man, I have somebody whom I confide in. It is not about the size
or shape but I believe that when I find that person I will know her.
Yes, I am still searching. In fact, I am 100 percent still searching.
The gist that somebody broke my heart sometime ago is untrue. Love has
been kind to me.
Role models
I have role models for different aspects of my life. As an actor, RMD is
my role model. I like the way he acts and carries himself although, I
have not acted alongside with him before.
Osita Iheme in a nutshell
Osita is not as mischievous as PawPaw in real life. I am a humble guy,
dedicated, easy going and God-fearing. I love vegetable soup with
pounded yam. I love meat a lot and my preference is liver.
Regret about my size
As to what I would do if I am given a medicine that will make me grow
taller, I would check that very well before I decide on what to do. I
pray to my God to lead and guide me always. I don’t allow my condition
to weigh me down. It has never happened. I have never questioned God at
any point in my life before. I can’t say this is the age I stopped
growing, it’s something that just happened like that. But I won’t say I
stopped growing. I only stopped growing in terms of my height. I know
that my condition is similar to that of the late American actor, Gary
Coleman. I don’t like talking about death and I don’t believe that I can
die young.
I can’t say I have regret really because I know the dream I had for myself. I thank God for where I am today but there are some certain things which I wanted for myself which I have not yet achieved. My father is not alive today to see me become who I am and provide that fatherly guidance. With him, I know my academic ambitions would have been realised up to PhD level and so many other things I want to do. By now, I should be in a better position to take care of more people than I am doing now.
Me and pre-marital sex
I see pre-marital sex as a sin. Of course, we sin sometimes and ask God
for forgiveness. Some of us who are now born-again have abandoned some
of those life styles. Don’t get me wrong I am not perfect o!

WHAT!! I Can Act Nude For An Oscar –Nollywood Actor
It's people like this that are "corrupting" the decent ones in
Nollywood. Going nude or acting nude for whatever reason is not part of
our culture as Africans, and there is no need copying another man's
culture when he's not interesting in copying yours.
See what Majid Michel, Ghanian/Nollywood actor told a reporter about acting nude:
Let’s talk about sex scenes, how far would you go on a sex scene?
Do you mean if I can go nude in a movie?
Yes.
You know what (bursts into laughter), what I do is pick up a script, digest it and once I accept to do it, I think I am bound to follow the writer and director’s wish. If I am to act alongside international act like Halle Berry, Leonardo DiCaprio, I will do it. Halle berry did it and she got an Oscar, so why won’t I do it to get an Oscar?
How does your wife feel watching the sex scenes?
She understands me, she knows the movies, I tell her about the script. And when it comes to the sex scene, she turns her face away until the whole thing is over and then she continues watching the film after.

There Is Nothing Wrong With Alcohol, Cigarette –Pastor Chris
It all started when a viewer of his television programme wrote in to
enquire from the popular pastor if it was wrong for a 'Christian to work
in a Cigarette company'.
Below is the response from Pastor Chris:
There is nothing wrong with Cigarette, the Bible doesn’t say anything was wrong with it... I
know a lot of people do complain about it because of the relationship
attached to it with some sicknesses like cancer...but if they really
believe it is wrong why not ban it totally.
It is the same thing when you have Christians working in the Breweries. The Bible doesn’t condemn alcohol. The only reference made to alcohol in the Bible is ‘do not take too much of wine’. So you see these things has to do with the individual state...if they are convince something is not good they should just ban it..."

Pastor Remanded In Prison For Wanting To Preach To Oba
A Lagos-based clergy, Pastor Aba Peter, who allegedly went to a palace
and attempted to preach and pray to a monarch in Lagos, has ended up in
prison custody. The 42-year old pastor was held by the monarch’s aides

Tupac Shakur hologram Thrilled the Fans At Coachella
It looked so real. He looked so real.
In an amazing hologram, rapper Tupak Shakur – who was murdered in
1996 – graced the stage Sunday night at Coachella, and did a duet with
Snoop Dogg.
In the closing set of the three-day festival, the life-like image
of a shirtless, tattooed Shakur rose up and magically appeared in the darkness.
Raising his arms into the air, he yelled, “What the [expletive] is
up, Coachella?!” Of course, the hologram was so cool that he’s already got his own Twitter page .
Shakur’s song Hail Mary was then played, with the hologram moving as if it were performing, and then Snoop Dogg joined him for a duet of 2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted.
MTV reports the
hologram was the work of Dr. Dre and some special effects magic.
According to a spokesperson for Dre, the lifelike image of Shakur was
created by Hollywood effects house Digital Domain, the Oscar-winning CG
factory that made CG images of Brad Pitt in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and other films.

Young Man Sentenced To 3 Days In Jail For Sagging Pants
Twenty year old LaMarcus Ramsey made the mistake of showing
up to Alabama's Autayga County Circuit Court this past Tuesday (4/10), with his
pants sagging way below his waste. His pants were sagging so low that his
underwear was showing in full. Even though this is a style that many individuals
chose to wear these days, Circuit Judge John Bush, was having no part of it.
Ramsey was initially in court to submit
a plea deal on a charge of receiving stolen property, but when Judge Bush saw
how low his pants were, he ordered Ramsey to serve three days in jail and to go
buy pants that fit him properly. Ramsey was officially jailed for
contempt of court for wearing saggy pants in public.
Here's what Judge Bush had to say to
Ramsey:
"You are in contempt of court
because you showed your butt in court. You can spend three days in jail.
When you get out you can buy pants that fit, or at least get a belt to hold up
your pants so your underwear doesn't show."
Now that has to be one of the worst
reasons in history to spend time behind bars.
Bitter e-mail between Don Jazzy and D'banj leaks
Confidential email correspondence between the former friends and business partners was exclusively obtained by Punch. There's obviously a lot of bitterness going on...read it after the cut...
Don Jazzy's email to D'banj
D’banj must pay all the debts of Mo’Hits – Don Jazzy
In regards to D’banj’s claim for 100 percent ownership of all songs recorded under the Mo’Hits imprint, the acclaimed producer in an email on March 17th, states.
“That Mo’Hits Records does not already own 100 per cent of the songs. Note that Mo’Hits Records only owns 60 per cent of the songs and 40 per cent belongs to the individual artiste. So, 40 per cent of the songs is not mine to give.” He continues, “That me (I am) giving him (D’banj) my share of the catalogue does not and will never include him having the right to stop them (the artistes) from performing the songs or give him the right to claim any monies for live performances of these songs. And any loans or debt owed by Mo’Hits records as at today will be cleared by Mr D’banj as I am clearly not aware of any.”
Don Jazzy states further that the catalogues he is releasing to his former partner only consists of songs already released in an album exempting new singles and unreleased materials. “So, songs like Wande Coal’s Go Low and Been Long You Saw Me are not part of this catalogue he is receiving. Also, an artiste like D’Prince, not only has he not released any album, he has not signed any contract whatsoever with Mo’Hits Records. That he has no right to claim any monies for deals that have been brokered already as at today with the catalogues or stop their usage. It is important to note that any unreleased songs done by any artiste (including D’banj and K-Switch) MUST NOT be released and is not part of the catalogue I am giving away.”
He adds, “With these few points, I do hope that you all realise that I have been generous enough to facilitate the End of the “D’banj & Don Jazzy” era as a team. After this new deal has been signed and sealed, I do NOT look forward to seeing an email whatsoever or hearing from the DKM (D’banj, K-Switch, Mo’Hits) crew, and all is well again.”
D'banj's email to Don Jazzy
Will you return the Bentley I bought for you? – D’banj
Same day, D’banj responded to the email, stating,
“In case he (Don Jazzy) forgot, this is the arrangement! 50/50—–song writer/ production, which means for a song X for artiste Y, 75 per cent as per production is fully owned by Mo’Hits and writing is shared 25/25 with the individual artiste co- writing. So, that’s the deal! So him (sic) saying 40 per cent is not his to give away is more like 75per me and 25per each artiste.”
He then asks, “What do you mean by any bills or loans would be cleared by Mr. D’banj? That will never happen because when I ran the company, I ran it perfectly and well. So, if I give him my shares he is left with 100 per cent liability. My catalogue is everything that has been done with the Mo’Hits system and under the normal agreement we have, that means everything I have recorded or that has been recorded whether new or old, or even classic, whether beat with concept or even idea without beats, anything we did as a team and sponsored by me throughout, then, it is mine. Including K-switch clause and all mine and even Wande’s singles and all till the date of signing even today.”
Continuing, D’banj writes, “And now, (I) wanna clear the air on this Samsung deal! I would expect by now that you understand that me keeping quiet is being GENEROUS because this is a deal structured under Mo’Hits Records, (and it is) the first deal and income you would ever bring into the company in eight years. We shared the first 150k (One hundred and fifty thousand dollars) the right way, 1/3 down and that was cool. But after you collected another 130k and did not say anything (that) is and could be described as theft! I only refused to contact them (Samsung) directly because of your reputation. But please don’t call me a fool and let’s know who is generous!” D’banj was not coy about his anger. He states that after sharing over N1bn with Don Jazzy in their Mo’Hits days, he was shocked that the producer would now sideline him when he got the balance from Samsung.’’
D’banj writes further, “Please, please, will he (Don Jazzy) return the Bentley because I bought it for him and it was N5.2m more than mine? And Prince that he claims has no signed contract but is actively involved and signed via engagement– I win his catalogue too – all recorded whether released now or not! This is because no one questioned me when I bought D’Prince N11m naira car (LR3/Range) without releasing any album just to boost the image of the boy and it worked for him! So, let’s get the facts straight, I AM BEING MORE THAN GENEROUS.”
