Nollywood Actress Queeneth Agbor has revealed how her Igbo Boyfriend slapped her silly because she kissed a guy in a movie she acted and her boyfriend saw the movie scene. "I won’t be dating an Ibo guy again; they are possessive and could be violent," she stressed.
The Micro Biology graduate of University of Calabar said the way and manner the last Ibo guy she dated treated her dealt the death knell on her ever dating any Nigerian man of Ibo extradition.
Speaking on her ordeal with the said Ibo boyfriend, she said:
‘We were watching one of the movies I featured in together in his house, his mood suddenly changed when the movie got to the part I was kissing an actor. He kept a straight face but the burning anger was obvious. He couldn’t hold it anymore when another kissing scene came up, he looked at me and said, “So you kissed” by the time I looked at him, he gave me a huge, dirty slapp. I had to run for my life. I thank God I left the place alive.’
Due to the love and passion she has for acting, she moved to Lagos to pursue her dream by enrolling in intensive acting classes for three months at a film school. She is now trying to make a name for herself in the movie industry, without her Igbo slapping boyfriend. Lol!

Mulatto actress cum model, Carol Ekanem, is an actress to reckon with in Nollywood. She is not only bold and beautiful but also downright outspoken in her views in life.
Single but not searching, Carol, who made her debut on the set of “Deadly Care” a couple of years back, speaks glowingly about her romance with wave- making musician, Tu face Idibia and other men who have been in and out of her life, especially her latest heartthrob.
Background
The fledging actress who has her mother as her role model said she decided to take her mother’s family name, Ekanem, as her stage name because of her love and respect for her mother.
“ My mother is from Akwa Ibom and my father is from Scotland, Ekanem is my mother’s family name. I decided to use Ekanem as my stage name because of the love and respect I have for my mother. I come from a Christian and disciplined home and a royal family at the same time. I have two younger brothers and I am the only girl in my family, I was born on June 26 1980s and I am presently in my third year in University of Calabar, studying Environmental Protection Management and Geography and Regional Planning”.
Acting
Like many of her colleagues, Carol developed interest in acting at a very tender age. “ I discovered that I love acting while in primary school. I was a member of the cultural troupe in my school and I did very well in acting”. She said her love for acting made her to seek out Rita Dominic who introduced her to Chico Ejiro. “ Like I always say, you have to try in life if you want to get somewhere. I tried getting to Rita Dominic and she introduced me to Chico Ejiro whom I started my first movie, “Deadly Care” with. I played a major role in the movie and that was in March 2004. I acted alongside UK and Jim Iyke and it was great”.
I was never harassed
When asked if she has ever been harassed in the movie industry, Carol puts on a bewitching smilebefore finally saying no and attributes her success to God’s work.“ Harassed? Me? No, I was never harassed by anybody. No producer, director or actor has ever harassed me. It was God, everything has to do with God and the way I carried myself. Funny enough, I went late for the audition, yes, I could remember that day vividly. When I was called for the audition, I told them I will come the next day. By the time I got there, they told me that they have finished the audition and I said okay. But before I left, Chico asked me read some lines. He auditioned me immediately and I was scared because there were many people there.
But before I knew it, they just gave me a script and asked me to go through it and said that is your character. You are playing a lead role with Jim Iyke and I could not believe it. I was really shocked because when I entered at first for the audition, I’ve lost hope of getting the role because I came late. But at the end of it all, to God be the glory, I started my first movie and I am doing well till date”.
Relationship
The fast rising actress is ready to tell anybody that cares to listen how much she loves her Romeo whom she described as wonderful and God fearing. “ My love life is wonderful, I have a boyfriend, he is wonderful but I will not tell you who he is because he knows himself. I love him so much and he loves me too. He respects and adores me, I am enjoying my love life”. Stops and laugh continuing, she said, “ the first time I fell in love was good but it was not special but it was something I have learned from. But right now, I am in love with a man and when he said so we would walk down the aisle. Right now, I don’t want to rush him for anything, I am still taking my time. He has proposed to me but I don’t want to rush him all the same.
You know, I don’t want to get married and get divorce at the same time, I am not into that. So, I want to be very sure of what I am doing. Right now, what I am considering is that we should have a very strong faith in God, which is the first thing because if we have that every other thing shall follow. You know my ideal man is a God fearing man that sees me for who I am and not because I am an actress or beautiful. A guy that can tolerate, listen and very hard working. In fact”, she moverss closer to you and said in a whisper “ I ‘ve found it all in my boyfriend”.
My affair with Tu Face Idibia
The stunning actress, whose sizzling romance with award-winning musician, Tu Face made front page in many soft sell magazines finally opens up on her affairs with the Musician. She described Tu Face as a very good friend of hers while maintaining that they are still good friends. “ Tu Face I and are still very much friends, I am happy that he is who he is and I know that he is happy that I am who I am today.
I don’t have anything against him. Many people believe that something went wrong in the affair but I am telling you now that nothing went wrong, it is not as if we call our friendship off. Yes, we decided to part but not as if we just said it’s over but we just found out that it was over and that was all. Nothing went wrong and we are still very good friends today and I think I like it like that”.
Heartbroken
“Yes, I ve been heart-broken by someone but I guess every lady in this world has been heartbroken before. I know I have been heartbroken but I can’t remember the time”. When asked if she has broken a man’s heart before, Carol said: “I don’t know unless you have to interview my ex-boyfriends. Laughs, Tu Face did not break my heart and I did not break his heart. But I think you are going too deep into my private life and I don’t want to talk about that. If anybody wants to know so much about me, I think we should all come together and talk about it”.
I am not a snub
The soft-spoken actress said she does not owe anybody apology for the way she chooses to leave her life. “People say I am a snub, well, I am sorry I was not born to talk to everybody in this world, neither was I born to flash teeth at everybody in the world. There is time for everything, if people think I am a snub, fine, I don’t have to apologize to anybody, I really don’t have to”.

My style
“To me style means looking good, being presentable and being decent. I love African fabrics a lot and I love to wear them. Again, my style also depends on the occasion, I dress as the occasion demands”.
Embarrassing moments
Carol goes philosophical when asked to recount embarrassing moments in her thriving career. “ I don’t think I have had any embarrassing period in my life, everyday I’ve learnt a lesson. If there is no disappointments and no lessons I don’t think I will be a human being and I don’t think I will be alive. So I am very happy for every disappointments and lessons I ve learnt everyday and there is actually no embarrassing moments”.

After much brouhaha, with 2face Idibia's wife, Annie and the sister of his 2nd babymama, Pero Adeniyi, the Nigerian music star and the later reunited yesterday at the fun birthday party that was for their first child Ehis Idibia who turned recently 10.
The photos released online, shows they were such a happy family together, but it only lasted for a while.

All these while a lot of Wizkid’s fans have been hitting Binta Diamond Diallo as a gold digger, she has been waiting for the perfect moment to shame them. And she has done just that! She has shared the result of a DNA test that confirmed that Wizkid is child’s father.
Early this year, Binta has relocated to Nigeria but things did go smoothly when Wizkid rejected their son Ayodeji Ibrahim. She packed her bags and went back to America and resumed her work. Her departure from Nigeria has not stopped her from fighting fans. This has forced her to put records straight since she has been accused and treated unfairly by fans.
She said “I’m a working mother,” noting, “I never needed a penny from no man. As you can see, me and my son [are good]. My son is well taken care of,” she continued, and then sent off one of the trolls with a, “go back to your miserable life and find something else to make you feel better.”
Then she showed off the DNA report with these words “Read between the lines,” adding that DNA doesn’t lie

 




Now that Lynxx has finally convinced everyone that he is done with secular music and now, a born again, we can now hear the reason why he delved into gospel rap and forsake his old habits.
The rapper who also turned a counsellor to a lot of Nigerians has this to say about his new fond lifestyle “I just became more spiritual, I just decided to focus on the more important things in life over the frivolous and fleeting things,“I’m in a space where if it doesn’t matter to me, it doesn’t matter, because at the end of the day we’re all getting older, and life is moving for everybody. Whether I’m a musician or not, real life is happening."
He continued “It’s only right to take that step…I’ve played enough in my life, I’ve enjoyed enough in my life, I’ve done the wrong things enough in my life so it’s time to really focus on the things that matter, things that will grow you and prosper you rather than things that will eventually bring you down.” he added.

IT’S been seven months since Floyd Mayweather announced his retirement, and now it’s Manny Pacquiao’s turn. Both dominated the boxing scene for at least the last 10-12 years, and they’re leaving a big void that fight fans are hoping some other stars can fill.
With the departure of the No. 1 and No. 2 pound-for-pound fighters of the last 25 years, according to an ESPN. com voting panel, there are several names who could fill the void and who have the charisma and talent to become stars.
Currently considered the top pay-per-view star, the middleweight champion’s popularity knows no limits, and he’s shown his quality in the ring. At just 25 years old, he has a 46-1-1 record. He faces Amir Khan next and is one of HBO’s top draws, in addition to being Golden Boy Promotions’ main draw. A fight against middleweight titlist Gen­nady Golovkin is on the horizon.
One of the most, if not the most feared boxer on the planet. He’s 34 years old and has a record of 34-0 (31 KOs). He’s the best middleweight in a long time, and while he’s expected to fight Alvarez, he could also move up to 168 pounds in search of bigger challenges after cleaning up his division.
With Pacquiao’s farewell, Crawford looks to be Top Rank’s next big star. Top Rank promoter Bob Arum knows that Crawford is talented enough to achieve great things, but he may lack popularity. Nevertheless, he’ll headline his first pay-per-view event on July 23 in Las Vegas against Viktor Postol in a junior welterweight unification bout. At just 28 years old, he has 28 victories and 20 knockouts. He is yet to be defeated.
Chocolatito is the current No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in ESPN’s rankings. If he continues dominating fighters the way he has been so far, he will soon reach 49-0, like Mayweather did. Gonzalez is only 28 and has a re­cord of 44-0 with 38 knockouts. After dominating the strawweight and fly­weight divisions, Gonzalez recently had his HBO debut, and fight fans have fallen in love with him. The three-time world titlist returns to the ring on April 23 against Puerto Rico’s McWilliams Arroyo.
Thurman is considered the best in the welterweight division after the de­partures of Mayweather and Pacquiao. His knockout power, charisma and box­ing ability place him high above many others, including Danny Garcia, Kell Brook and Shawn Porter. He fights Por­ter on June 25, and that’s when he’ll have to prove that he has star power. At 27, he has a 26-0 record with 22 KOs.
At 30 years old, with a record of 36-0 and 35 knockouts, the “Bronze Bomb­er” is the best American heavyweight and one of the best in the division. Wilder has brought the heavyweight di­vision back by winning a title in 2015, as talented European competitors also make a stand, and everything is lined up to give Wilder the chance to become a successor to the great heavyweights of the past. His next test is a mandatory fight against former titleholder Alexan­der Povetkin on May 21 in Russia.
Ward, the 32-year-old former super middleweight champion, came close to being the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, but trouble with promot­ers and the presence of Mayweather and Pacquiao kept him from topping the list. Ward (29-0, 15 KOs) currently fights in the light heavyweight division and has everything it takes to be the next big star, including talent, popular­ity and support from HBO. To make the next leap forward, he has to fight Sergey Kovalev, a powerful Russian considered the division’s top fighter.
Former four-division titleholder Adrien Broner was taken into custody Tuesday morning and began serving a 10-day jail sentence for violating terms of his probation in his hometown of Cincinnati.
Broner was incarcerated at the Ham­ilton County (Ohio) Jail at 10:19 a.m. for reckless driving and is due to be released on April 22, according to the jail’s website. TMZ initially reported on Broner’s sentencing.
In July 2015, Broner was sentenced to six months’ probation in connection to a drunken driving arrest. Broner lat­er entered a plea of no contest to reck­less driving and was given probation.
Broner, 26, appeared in court Tues­day morning, pleaded guilty to the pro­bation violation and began serving his sentence.
The case Tuesday is not related to Broner’s arrest on charges of felony assault and aggravated robbery in connection to an incident during the early-morning hours of Jan. 21, when he allegedly assaulted a man and robbed him of $12,000 at gunpoint outside a Cincinnati bowling alley.
He was indicted for that incident Thursday, the next step in prosecu­tors’ case.
Broner allegedly lost the money to the victim during a night of high-stakes betting on bowling games, knocked him unconscious outside the bowling alley after a confrontation and took the money.
With two outstanding felony war­rants for his arrest, Broner still boxed in Washington, D.C., in a nationally tele­vised fight on April 1. He knocked out Ashley Theophane one day after being stripped of his junior welterweight title for failing to make weight.
Broner (32-2, 24 KOs) returned to Cincinnati and turned himself in on April 4, as had been arranged between his attorney and Hamilton County of­ficials. Broner was released later that day on $100,000 bond and pleaded not guilty at his arraignment on April 5.

Nollywood actress Omotola Jalade Ekeinde popularly known as Omosexy is currently being bashed out by fans on social media for an interview she granted last year with a news site where she revealed that her husband, Captain Matthew Ekeinde, does the family shopping at the local market.
This action she said was due to her status in the Nigerian entertainment. She further stressed that being a household name in Nigeria would absolutely make shopping difficult for her.
Let me tell you something more, my husband is actually the one who goes to the market. I don’t go to the market because I can’t. Because of my status, I can’t. But my husband didn’t say you know traditionally, a man is not suppposed to go to the market, I’m not gonna go, no. My husband actually goes to the market. In my earlier career, I used to go with him but I‘ll stay in the car, because our cars are tainted, so I’ll stay in the car. But then, one time we went to Tejuosho and someone found out I was in the car, it became a major security risk. So, he said don’t ever go with me again. He goes and he has fun, and he comes back home and I do the cooking, so you see, we strengthen each other.”
Somehow somewhere, the interview surfaced on social media today and Nigerians are reacting to the actress statement.


The couple recently got back from Honolulu, Hawaii where they had gone to celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary. They are happily married with four kids.

NEW kid on the block, Jaybaba (Okonkwo Onyebuchi Joseph), dropped his sophomore single recently. Entitled Falling For You, the track has won him rave reviews. In this chat with Entertainer, 21 year-old Jbaba opens up on why he dedicated his debut single, entitled Linda to celebrity blog­ger, Linda Ikeji.
How did you begin yourmusic career?
It started from a music group. My guys and I used to hang out and sing. Sometimes, we went all the way to hang out in Lekki with other up-and-coming talents. In the process we discovered we could sing. So, we were like ‘why don’t we just train ourselves.’ So we brought in some producers and here we are today. I have been a music lover since age 14. I was in the choir in my church and sang all the way through secondary school and the university in the church choir.
Who were your influences?
That was Tuface. His style of music blew my mind! He started something new. He brought a new dimension into Nigerian music by starting the afro hip hop revolution.
How did you hook up with Evergreen Entertainment, your management?
Yeah, Evergreen Entertainment is handling my manage­ment. We met last year and pushed a song entitled Linda. Then there wasn’t much finance to take it to the next level. It all began after I got a deal just to record a song from my elder brother. I met Evergreen Entertainment on twitter. I was searching for management so I got his twitter handle. He has been very encouraging. From day one we have had a natural understanding. He is like a father to me.
What is Linda, your debut single all about?
It is an afro highlife song. I was talking about Linda Ikeji the celebrity blogger. I admire her because she is so inde­pendent. I love independent girls. Too bad I wasn’t fortunate enough to meet her.
What single are you promoting now?
I have just released Falling For You, and the response has been wow! I believe so much in the song; it’s an afro highlife song; I call it the new sound. It is telling the girl of my dreams that whatever she wants, I am capable of delivering and I just want to be her maga.
How do you get inspira­tion to write songs?
When I hear a good beat I get inspired, and sometimes, around 1 am when every­where is quiet, I get inspira­tion as well. Also, when I listen to Tuface’s songs I get inspired.
What are your challenges?
The truth is that the biggest challenge any up-and-coming artiste faces is finance. Mine was a double challenge be­cause I lost the both of my parents last year. I almost gave up but for my elder brother who was behind me. He gave me money to record a track and that track was Linda.
Are you still missing your parents?
Of course I am but life goes on. The Lord giveth and the Lord Taketh, who are we mortals to question him?
Which artistes would you want to do collabo with?
Tuface, because he is my legend. I will also like to do stuff with Davido, Olamide and Wizkid.
What are your dreams?
I want to rule the world of music. I want to win a Gram­my. I want to write my footprints in the sands of time as far as music is concerned but I know it will be a gradual process but I believe I will succeed. What I need now is aggressive promotions.

Sensational Tiwa Savage had another opportunity to show the stuff she’s made of at the just concluded Gidi Fest, which was co-sponsored by leading soft drink, Pepsi. Her scintil­lating performance sent the audience into ecstasy as she drew from her rich repertoire that has won her several awards both locally and interna­tionally over the years.
For the audience that thronged the sandy beach of Eko Atlantic, Victoria Island, Lagos, it was a refreshing night as artiste after artiste mounted the stage to thrill. Koko master, D’banj took the excite­ment a notch higher as he made a wow impression on the audience, asking them to dance with him on stage, a request that needed no further nudging as the fans surged forward to savour the moment.
Apart from Pepsi ambas­sador, Tiwa Savage and D’banj, other artistes that featured in the night of musical extravaganza were UK-based artiste, Rachel Carr, Yemi Alade, Timaya, Phyno, Riky Rick, and K.O.
Fast rising artistes like Adekunle Gold, David Grey and Small Doctor had earlier opened the show with spectacular performances, serving as appetizers for a night of musical wonder.

onni and wife

In a recent interview, the sisters of the Ooni of Ife, Princesses Adesola, Folasade and Adebimpe have revealed how  the Ooni’s wife was chosen by the oracle and that the two got introduced just a month ago.
You are here in Benin to pick a new wife for Ooni of Ife, how do you feel about this?
I am so happy. As you can see I am excited. You can see we are smiling and enjoying ourselves. God has done a great thing in the life of Kabiyesi and in the family of Ogunwusi generally. May His name be exalted. We welcome Queen Wuraola Ogunwusi into the family and I pray she shall give us good children and twins by the special grace of God.
For how long have you known Olori Wuraola?
We only met her not quite long and I will say like a month and I will say she is going to be a good mother and a good wife to the whole Yoruba race.
Immediately you saw her, what came to your mind?
I saw her as a pleasant woman and a very accommodating one at that. A good wife that will take care of the custom and tradition of Yoruba of Ife. A good woman that will take care of her husband.
