- Funke Akindele Finally Opens Up On What Really Happened
| Posted: 02 Aug 2013 11:15 AM PDT  "It is necessary to set the record straight regarding the alleged adultery story written in some news mediums about Mr. Tunde Folawiyo. To the best of my knowledge, his alleged amorous affair with ex-Miss Lux, Mrs. Ifeoma Williams, has been a feast for the online media for a long time. This I never knew, though, until my attention was called to it by Tunde's younger brother, Yomi, a friend, who, knowing I wield some level of popularity among journalists, asked me to help talk to online publishers who had published the story on their blogs to please take them down. I did not disappoint. A few days after succeeding in taking off the story from the internet, Yomi again called my attention to the fact that two weekly magazines namely Encomium and Global News have written the story, but according to him, Global News owned by Segun Ogunbunmi did not do an objective piece. It was then I urged Yomi to create familiarity with major players in the media so they would see him as a friend. He agreed and called a meeting with some editors. The Global News publisher, Segun Ogunbunmi, was part of the meeting. We all met for about one hour at a lounge on Opebi Road, Ikeja. We chatted intimately before we left the venue. Yomi later called a fresh meeting and he specifically requested for Segun Ogunbunmi to be part of it. Convinced that that second meeting would further cement his relationship with the Folawiyos, having being singled out based on the story published in his magazine, I ensured that Segun attended the meeting. It was while the meeting was in progress that some policemen banged on the three of us and whisked us to the Zone 2 police headquarters in Lagos Island where they said we were wanted for questioning. Surprisingly, on getting to Zone 2, the police said that Segun was their target, so they asked both Yomi and I to go free. It was there and then that I realized I had been used by the Folawiyos to nail a friend and professional colleague. Meanwhile, I was shocked to behold later how the police had caused a statement to be issued in the media labeling me a criminal that was arrested for criminal libel and that I was only released on bail. For the record, I have not written anything on the Folawiyos for some months. The only one I did of recent was about Yomi Folawiyo's child dedication. I also caused some of my media friends to publish it in their respective publication. Therefore, I'm asking the Folawiyos to produce a proof of the claim that I have libeled them. With my experience in the last three days, I have come to realize that the intention of the Folawiyos is just to rub my treasured name in the mud. In a civilized world, Tunde Folawiyo should know what a civil case is; as such he should not resort to harassing innocent persons. A good name is more desirable than great riches and to be esteemed is better than silver or gold. On this basis, I demand a full apology from the Folawiyos; failure to do so, I will seek redress in the law court.  |
| Multiple Explosions Rock Lagos Business District Posted: 02 Aug 2013 04:30 AM PDT  "We don't want another tragedy in the place. We have asked people to leave the place."This unfortunate incident came barely 24 hours after another fire incident gutted Mouka foam factory in Oba Akran area of the state. Some combustible content was been off loaded into the yard when drums of the content exploded resulting in the inferno. An eyewitness said, "The fire is not coming from a building, it is an empty yard used by some mechanics. They were offloading some chemical when it exploded and caused fire." Confirming the fire incident, the director of Lagos State Fire Service, Mr. Rasak Fadipe, said that the source of the fire was not known yet. He said people had been asked to vacate the premises to avert loss of lives.  |

| Why I Deal Mercilessly With Nigerian Policemen ––Notorious Robber Speaks Posted: 02 Aug 2013 04:25 AM PDT  Speaking on our a became a criminal, Godogodo said: "[When I was young] I was charged for fighting; I spent about seven years in prison. My prolonged stay in prison for minor crime of fighting hardened me and I vowed to pay back the police for that injustice. After I was released, I went to Katangowa in Iyana-Ipaja area of Lagos to meet my friend, Odun. "Odun was an armed robber, so, we started operating together. We worked with several gangs and I invested lots of my money in arms buying. I also built five houses in Ifo, Ilaro, Ikorodu and Ibadan. I usually kill policemen and take their rifles because policemen have killed several of my boys and taken most of my rifles from them. "I have no regrets for all I have done. I have no advice for young people, who want to become armed robbers like me. I have three children from three women. The police should take all my properties." According to police authorities, the suspect led the gang that killed seven people, including the owner of 04 Hotel, Ajah, Lagos, Olanrewaju Subair, on July 7, 2013. They also killed two other security guards at a popular hotel along Apapa Road, Ebute Meta area of the state on the same day. The 36-year-old suspect was arrested by men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad at his home in the Egbeda area of Ibadan, Oyo State, after he had been monitored for three weeks. Policemen attached to SARS, said Godogodo narrowly escaped arrest on July 14, when he and members of his gang engaged SARS operatives in a shoot-out along Eko Bridge, Lagos Island, after they killed two policemen at Ebute-Ero and Ajao Estate respectively. According to police authorities, the suspect had been evading arrest because he hardly used the same gang members twice. A police source said: "He is the most notorious armed robber we have had in the South-West in the past 14 years. We arrested him 11am on Thursday at his mansion at the Olowu area of Egbeda LGA Ibadan Oyo State and recovered two AK47 rifles and 10 loaded AK47 magazines in his house."The Commissioner of Police, Umar Manko, he would be given medical treatment and charged to court.  |
| Wicked: Woman Beats 3 Year Old Sick Child To Death For Vomitting Posted: 02 Aug 2013 04:17 AM PDT  According to police authorities, the suspect beat up the girl because she vomited and defecated on herself. A police source told reporters on Thursday that the incident occurred at Ijaiye Ojokoro area of the state on July 22, 2013. He said, "The victim (Deborah) lost her mother in 2010. Early this year, Deborah's father was evicted from his home and he decided to send Deborah and his second child to go and stay with his brother, Vincent, until he settles down. "Deborah and her nine-year-old sister were living with Vincent and his wife, Rebecca, in a one-room apartment at Powerline, Jankara, Ijaiye Ojokoro. However, Rebecca was always maltreating the two children." According to police investigations, on the day of the incident, Deborah woke up around 5.30am with a high temperature. The three-year-old girl was said to have started vomiting and defecating soon after. This was said to have angered Rebecca, who instead of administering treatment to the child, decided to beat her up. A police source said, "In the process of beating the girl, the suspect pushed her and she fell, hitting her head against the edge of a wooden chair in the room." Reporters learnt that the victim started to bleed from the head. Some neighbours rushed her to Ahmadiyya Hospital, where she was referred to Orile Agege General Hospital where she later died. A woman leader in the area, Kudirat Ogunseyi, was said to have reported the matter to Ijaye Ojokoro Police Division after which the suspect was arrested. Some neighbours, in their statements at the police station, described the suspect as a hot-tempered woman, who was fond of beating the children. "The way that woman beats up the children was very worrying to the extent that the landlord had threatened to evict them," one of the statements reads. Vincent told the police that he was not present when his wife beat his niece to death. "I was not at home when the incident happened. I am a photographer during daytime but I work as a vigilante group member. So I hardly sleep at home," he said. The suspect however said she did not kill the victim deliberately. She said she only pushed Deborah and she hit her head against the chair. "I am a housewife and I have a 10-month-old baby. I did not mean to kill her (Deborah). I only pushed her because she vomited and defecated on the floor. I was only trying to correct her. It was not deliberate. I am a mother too and I know how I would feel if my son was killed," she said. It was learnt that the matter had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba. A source at the SCID said the police were waiting for autopsy. He added that if other wounds were found on other parts of the victim's body, it would prove that the victim was indeed tortured before her death. When contacted on the telephone, the Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, said she would call back. Punch  |

| Man arrested in Lagos for having sex with a mad woman Posted: 02 Aug 2013 04:09 AM PDT  21-year old man, Lateef Sulaiman, for allegedly scaled a 14-feet fence to gain entrance into the Lagos State Rehabilitation and Training Centre, Majidun area of Ikorodu, Lagos, to have sex with the said mad woman. Sulaiman was said to have jumped into the female dormitory around 9.30 p.m. and had sex with the mad woman before he was arrested and handed over to the taskforce at Alausa. In his confessional statement at the taskforce headquarters, Sulaiman allegedly said he had had sex with a mad woman at the rehabilitation centre on five occasions before his arrest, saying that he knew where the female dormitory was because he had gone to the centre in the past to seek employment and had thoroughly studied the environment. He was arraigned at the Special Offences Court, Alausa in Ikeja for his alleged offence Sulaiman was slammed with a four-count charge. In the first count charge, he was said to have scaled the 14-feet fence of the rehabilitation home and slept with a mentally ill inmate and thus committed an offence punishable under the laws of Lagos State. Having pleaded not guilty, he was granted bail in the sum of N50, 000 with two sureties who must be civil servants and present evidence of tax payment for five years. Sulaiman could not meet the bail conditions and was remanded at the Badagry.  |
| REVEALED: How Asari Dokubo Became A VIP Posted: 02 Aug 2013 04:03 AM PDT  How did Asari metamorphose from a feared Mohammedan of the creeks (complete with the elaborate head gear) to a megaphone of state power? This is the question I propose to answer here, and my very simple thesis is that to track Asari's movement from the swamps to the corridors of the state is to apprehend a sociological dynamic: the particular mode by which social agents gain entry into the domain of the state, via, in this specific case, the instrumentality of violence. Analytically, there are two immediate targets. One is Asari himself, particularly the gradual but symbolic evolution in his personal profile and self-presentation over time. Second, there is the theme of violence, its effectivity as a means of negotiating access to material resources and social certification as a member of the political elite. For a proper appreciation of this dynamic, in particular the latter idea of the social utilisation of banditry, it is important to understand, first, an idea captured here as "violence entrepreneurship." As a framework, violence entrepreneurship avoids otherwise legitimate questions like, for instance, how endemic insecurity threatens the short-term stability and long-term existence of the Nigerian state. Instead, it prioritises the need to make violence coherent as a political phenomenon, meaning that the most ostensibly unrelated acts of violence are understood and made meaningful solely in relation to politics and the dominant ethos of the political order — and not just the current political regime — in Nigeria. For example, the unusual spate of carjacking and violent armed robbery, the festering hostage-taking industry, prohibitive auto-mortality, the insurgency in the northern half of the country, resource militancy in the oil producing region, and sundry examples of routine violence, all become perfectly explicable as effects of politics and political choices. Second, the notion of violence entrepreneurship demands that violence be seen as an agential strategy; a currency of exchange between the state and agents within civil society. One implication (and Asari's ongoing political evolution is a great illustration) is that even when the violence deployed is visceral, and the rhetoric of threatened exit from the state is prohibitive and inflationary, ultimately, violence tends to function as a means of negotiating access. Access, of course, can be understood in various ways, but my basic concern here is to show how violence entrepreneurs enter into and become part of the orbit of the state. In this regard, particular attention must be given to how such entrepreneurs attain ethical equilibrium with state officials, eventually assuming the moral and material paraphernalia of the state. When examined carefully, it becomes evident that this is the sociological trajectory that Asari has assumed. This is not to say that the productivity of violence is always one-sided. Historically, the Nigerian state too has functionalised violence in various ways. One well-worn modality is through the development of relations of patronage between state functionaries and political godfathers, many of whom are often surrounded by thugs and other individuals with a history of difficult relations with the law. Think here of the showdown between Rasheed Ladoja and the late Lamidi Adedibu in Oyo State on the one hand, and that between Peter Obi and Chris Uba in Anambra State on the other. Following the same logic, the state can use the prevalence of violence in a particular region of the country to leverage both resources and moral sympathy from various international agents, a good example being the mobilisation of external resources to fund the pacification of civil unrest in the Niger Delta. Last but not the least, the state has been known to surreptitiously develop its own extrajudicial killer squads, either as an alternative to, but in most cases in simultaneous existence with, regular apparatuses of violence authorised by the law. Here, think of revelations early in the year concerning the alleged use of killer platoons by the Obasanjo regime; and Sergeant Rogers' credulous testimony that the late Gen. Sani Abacha actively maintained a killer squad and that it, i.e. the squad, was responsible for the murder of Kudirat Abiola. Be that as it may, the key point to be emphasised is the structure of engagement between the state and armed militias, and the main idea I am trying to develop is how, in the long run, the threat or actual deployment of violence, one, transforms the relationship between the state and armed militias, and two, tends to eventuate in the incorporation of leaders of such militias into the orbit of the state. Mujahid Asari-Dokubo (and the Odu'a People's Congress's Gani Adams no less) is a perfect encapsulation of this logic, precisely in his sheer transformation from radical revolutionary and purveyor of violence, to a more or less bona fide member of the state nobility, complete, as I claimed earlier, with all the conceits and appurtenances of the Nigerian political class. Now, this is a very complex process, and yes, the last chapters have yet to be written. Nevertheless, certain details in Asari's transformation seem instructive for my analysis. First is his (Asari's) emergence from a proper order of injustice: the crisis of oil exploitation in the Niger Delta. Second is his astute reading of the social mood and readiness to capitalise on a glaring leadership vacuum. Here, you have to go back to the hanging of Ken Saro-Wiwa in November 1995 by the Abacha regime, the emasculation of the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People, and the overall tranquilisation of opposition throughout the region. Finally, there is his personal rebranding and self re-presentation. For instance, the distinctly Islamic turban has been jettisoned, though the bushy beard (part Mohammedan, part Che Guevara) is still in place. Furthermore, although there is a notional forswearing of violence, this is strategically counterbalanced by frequent threats to "return to the creeks", as seen in the example with which I began this piece. Finally, there is of course the desperation to undo the obvious disadvantages of class cum educational cum professional pedigree, often through regular appearance in social circuits (weddings, burial ceremonies, etc). In short, there is an enactment of the whole "Big Man" repertoire, complete, it goes without saying, with personal channels of patronage. The Dr. or Chief prefix is just a matter of time.  |

| Movie Producers Gang Up Against Tonto Dikeh Over Her Rude Attitude Posted: 02 Aug 2013 03:55 AM PDT   What has #PokoBaby done again? Actress Tonto Dikeh's acting may be going south following threats from some movie producers and director to relegate her to the background as a result of what they described as her rude conduct recently at a location in Asaba."That little brat, apart from her addictions to marijuana, doesn't give a damn about whose ox is gored, she abuses, throw tantrums and fights on set at any slightest provocation and we must make sure she's humiliated. "She seems to have gathered too much weight and has hurriedly forgotten those days when she used to go on bended knees for a 'waka pass' role in movies. We'll teach her a lesson." According to sources, Tonto Dikeh who was playing a lead role in a movie at a location in Asaba, provoked the anger of a top movie director by her unbecoming display on set. The director hasn't stopped telling everyone his nasty experience at the hands of the controversial actress. According to the director who craved anonymity: "Tonto Dikeh is such a rot and lacks every bit of home training, apologies to her parents. I tried to control myself in order not to disrupt the set, but I got upset over the kind of insults Tonto heaped on the makeup artist on the set; a woman old enough to be her mother. "She liberally used words like, 'Are you stupid, don't you know what you are supposed to do? Must I remind you before you'll know you are supposed to make me up?' on the woman who was at the verge of throwing back some punch lines at her." Consequently, a group of directors and producers have decided not to feature the actress who currently is not even in good terms with many actress, due to her recent outburst on the social media. Humm...serious trouble for #PokoBaby!  |
| Presidency Mentions Governors With Hidden Agendas Posted: 02 Aug 2013 03:30 AM PDT  "These governors have their own agenda. They have already set the agenda long before now. They are just using the Rivers State scenario as an excuse. Whatever the agenda is, they know and God knows, but this continued move and perambulation show that there are things they are not telling us."Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, stated this in Abuja. he said it would be wrong for Nigerians to assume that these governors from the north were concerned with the happenings in Rivers State. It said the agenda of the governors – Aliyu Babangida (Niger); Rabiu Kwakwanso (Kano); Aliyu Wamakko (Sokoto); Sule Lamido (Jigawa); and Murtala Nyako (Adamawa) – was beyond the professed desire to resolve the crisis in the Rivers State chapter of the People Democratic Party. He said the governors would have ended their consultations after they met with President Goodluck Jonathan last week if indeed the issue of the crisis in Rivers and the desire to restore peace to the PDP were the their only agenda. The President's aide said the governors were merely interested in the 2015 elections. But he insisted that the odds still favoured President Jonathan to win the 2015 presidential election.  |
| Miss Africa Contestant, Linah Keza, Stabbed To Death In UK Posted: 02 Aug 2013 03:22 AM PDT   A young model was found stabbed to death yesterday with her three-year old-daughter crying next to her in a pool of blood. The body of Linah Keza, 29, understood to have taken part in Miss Africa 2010, was found at a flat in King Edward Road, Leyton, early yesterday morning. The case has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission, which will look at contact police had with her and a 38-year-old man who has been arrested over her death. London Ambulance Service paramedics accompanied police to the address just before 4.30am, but Linah, a Rwandan national living in London, was pronounced dead at the scene. She is believed to have had a panic button installed by the police. It is understood that her daughter was at the address at the time of the attack, according to a family friend. Herbert Muhire said: 'Her daughter is being taken care of and treated for trauma and other consequences as she was found crying next to the mother who was in a pool of blood. Family and friends have been briefed how she was killed and died a gruesome death. Everything is being done that Linah's body be brought and buried in respect at home in Kigali, Rwanda.' Tributes to Linah from friends and relatives were left on a Facebook page set up soon after her death. Her devastated friends posted a video on YouTube in memory of the 29-year-old. Friend Alex Vuningorna posted: "I have trouble accepting the fact you're gone, so I won't. It will be like we went for a while without seeing each other." Posting underneath the video, friend Debbie Makumi told how she was speaking to Ms Linah hours before her death. She posted: "Linah, my darling friend, I can't stop weeping." Detectives are continuing to question the 38-year-old man suspected to have been connected to her death at North London police station. A post-mortem examination is due to take place today at Walthamstow Mortuary.  |

| Suspected kidnapper caught smuggling baby in traveller’s bag (PHOTO) Posted: 01 Aug 2013 11:47 AM PDT  Pandemonium rent the air in in the early hours of Saturday morning at Bwari Park, Abuja, when a suspected kidnapper was apprehended trying to board a commercial bus with a stolen baby The incident which stunned passengers of the bus soon attracted a large gathering of people comprising mostly drivers, park traders, motorists and commuters. City Pulse gathered that the little boy was reportedly abducted from a remote community in Abuja this moning by his abductor who made arrangement to travel with him neatly tucked into a black traveller's bag. The bubble however burst when the young man vehemently refused to let go of the bag when asked by the conductor. But as the noise of their argument began to attract other passengers, he eventually agreed. As the bus conductor struggled to arrange the bag with others, he enquired from the man what the content of the was. According to him, the bag was unusually cold. That appeared strange to him since the suspect claimed that it didn't contain frozen food. The commotion also pricked the conscience of fellow passengers and a soldier who insisted on knowing the content of the bag. When the suspected abductor realised his game was up, he tried to flee the park. He was however caught and overpowered by the mob who later forced the bus open. Lo and behold, it contained the motionless body of a baby boy. He was later handed over to the Police for further investigation  |
| Funke Akindele Finally Opens Up On What Really Happened Posted: 01 Aug 2013 11:44 AM PDT  It's all about other women, lack of attention, just coming in and going out at at will, abuse, etc. Nollywood actress Funke Akindele has opened up on the reasons behind the crash of her marriage. Although Oloyode is now begging her to come back, there is a "spiritual" angle to the saga. In an interview with E24-7 Magazine, she disclosed that she only enjoyed the marriage in the first 2 months. "I was abused emotionally and verbally. Really, I felt we could work things out when the trouble started two months after the marriage, but I made up my mind and shut the door of the marriage at him when the trouble was coming to me too much. "I stooped to conquer him; buried my fame and name to make him my husband, but it did not work. At a point in time, I asked if it's not the same man that was all over me before we married. "He nearly got me off my career. He called me severally; I did not pick his calls but when he realized my silence was tormenting him, he took to Facebook. It's alright. Ask him when did he come to my house last? He left me here in my rented apartment with nothing and he will just dash in and dash out. He gets abusive, caustic anytime we have a misunderstanding and often told me to my face, he's going to his wife in Oshodi." At Oshodi, she said, she received a warm welcome from the wife, Fadekemi, but constant humiliation from Kehinde. "She [Funke Akindele] was really loved by the kids at home; she enjoyed taking them out to eateries and stores. Sometimes, they spent the weekend with her and she followed them to school. The children will surely miss her," our source, close to the family, said. Now that the cookie has crumbled, Kehinde, she said has been calling and sending text messages begging her to come back. "He sent me sms that he has seen a buyer for his house at Adeniyi Jones for N40million. He asked me if he should sell it and that if he does, he will buy me a new car and a rent me a new apartment. Why now? I don't need all that, I want my sanity." After she ignored him, he sent her another text abusing her and calling her names. "So you can see that he does not mean well for me," she re-iterated. E24-7 checks revealed as at Saturday evening Kehinde was combing the nooks and crannies of Ikorodu to locate Funke's dad's house. He boasted: "I will do anything to win my wife back." Over the past few months, Funke and Kehinde had started to see things differently so the need to pull out became inexorably high. It was revealed exclusively to E24-7 MAGAZINE by sources close to Funke, that she was ready to go on with Kehinde's warts and all but for the fact that loyalty has never been his strong point - his children from different women tell it all. Kehinde, our source hinted, has a roving eye when it comes to the opposite sex and this often causes friction between him and his celebrity wife. There are tales about his dalliance with his Personal Assistant, Funke. Observers of the marriage from inception feel that when fame and money come to a meeting point in a relationship, it will result in problems if the couple are not committed and disciplined. Moreover, a byproduct of this alliance is usually ego and it kills celebrity marriages faster than one can open the pages of tabloids and magazines. But this is not the case with Funke. "I respect him to the end but he chose to treat me that way. He said he wanted to clip my wings." Funke and Kehinde rarely spent substantial time together even at the peak of their marriage. Both kept to hectic schedules by virtue of their chosen professions. While Funke is often involved in back-to-back shooting on movie sets, Kehinde jumps from one construction site to another; pressing buttons for his political ambitions; and keeping dates with his wife at home and other women by the side. This sort of arrangement invariably makes keeping faith with the vows of the union very difficult. In the long run, suspicion will rear its ugly head and the couple will eventually drift apart, especially when they don't live under the same roof. This is best exemplified in Funke and Kehinde's break up. Besides, Kehinde's disturbing and haunting pasts have repeatedly stared Funke right in the face, and according to E24-7 MAGAZINE's impeccable source, Funke learnt shockingly that her once beloved hubby was expelled from the University of Jos almost as soon as he was matriculated as a student of the ivory tower. His admission, according to our source, was faulty right from the beginning and since that first attempt at tertiary education went awry, he shut his door at education. When he returned from Jos, he found strength in his entrepreneurial skill coupled with the influence and support of his mother, a market leader and successful businesswoman; he became an estate developer, building chains of shops in Oshodi market. Gradually, he crept into politics and his popularity soared that he became a well-known grassroots politician and a great mobilizer. More than twice, Kehinde, who belonged to the People's Democratic Party (PDP), and his supporters have clashed with the NATIONAL UNION OF ROAD TRANSPORT WORKERS (NURTW) Treasurer, Musiliu Akinsanya aka MC Oluomo an Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) loyalist. Kehinde has also contested for elective posts twice; most recent, was the Oshodi/Isolo Constituency 1 House of Representatives in 2007 which he also lost. Many years after, he reawakened his political ambition and quickly re-aligned himself by joining the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN). To shore up his image, he found in Funke who has become popular with her movie, Jenifa and the sequel, The Return of Jenifa, a ready tool. He convinced the favourite actress to lead him to the Leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, whom he had assaulted many years ago during the market women leadership tussle between his mother, Alhaja Almaroof and the late Iyaloja General Alhaja Abibat Mogaji. After he atoned for his 'sins,' he joined the train of well- wishers that went to London to felicitate with the former governor when one of his sons graduated from a university in London. Reliable sources told E24-7 MAGAZINE that Kehinde's lost bid to win the contract to rebuild Oshodi market really threw him off balance and that probably made him to turn the heat on his latest wife, Funke who wanted his attention. Despite the ill-fated turn that the relationship has taken, many of Funke's fans can't help but wonder if she hadn't known that the union was doomed to fail from the onset. The reason for this thinking is not far-fetched; firstly, Funke opted for the Muslim marriage even when many thought that she would go to the court registry to cement her marriage with Oloyede. Secondly, sources close to the family said Kehinde was warned by spiritualists not to venture into the marriage but he declined and did not share it with Funke. In the same vein, Funke was told not to go into it by her parents but she asked them to respect her wish. And as it plays out, she is free to remarry anytime she pleases without unnecessary legal impediments. This and many other factors contribute to the opinion shared by many of her fans that the delectable thespian knew that the future of her marriage with Oloyede will not be as long, colourful and bright as it appeared with all the glam. [But] it's just too quick and too fast to break. Now that the requiem mass has been sung for the once celebrated union, one cannot but remember the view of controversial actress, Tonto Dikeh, who declared that: 'Nollywood brides often marry horribly.'  |
