Comic actor Victor Osuagwu set to wed longtime partner
Majek Fashek:"I can't stop using cocaine'
"People must talk. But they make you popular; that's the truth. You
cannot fight the press, you cannot fight the media. They are the ones
that will tell people what is going on, so I cannot fight the media.
They said I'm crazy, I use cocaine. Well I still use cocaine. I dey blow
my nose, I dey smoke my igbo. As I speak to you, I have cocaine in my
pocket and in my house. I still dey use am. I can't stop. How will you
play music with a 'normal eye'? You can't be a
good musician playing without getting high. Pastors dem dey high too.
The truth is that you can't be on the human level and give the message.
The humans are looking up to you, so you must be super- human to live up
to their expectations." Majek Fashek

NIESV: There Are 200 Privately Owned Jets In Nigeria
According to the Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers
(NIESV), there are about 200 privately owned jets in Nigeria, all
purchased for about N1.3trillion. This was disclosed at an
international seminar on plants and machinery valuation with focus on
aircraft, oil and gas installations in Lagos.
The coordinator of the seminar, Paul Osuji, said that because of time constraints and other factors, the number of private jets would continue to be on the increase. He said that the seminar was organized to train their members on plant and machinery valuation, noting that at times, people purchase properties without knowing their real worth. According to him, professionals in Estate Surveying and Valuation are trained to value aircraft before they are paid for and brought into the country.
Osuji said that they have valued most of the private jets that are plying the Nigerian airspace “We are mandated by our profession to constantly train and retrain our members. After the last Dana Airlines crash, a lot of attention had been drawn to the aviation sector. People now want to know the airworthiness of the aircraft they want to pay for or they want to fly in. That is why we organize this seminar and most often, we bring our colleagues from other parts of the world to come and share their knowledge with us.”

Vice President Namadi Sambo to get a N2billion home
The Vice President is getting a home worth N2 billion from the
government of Nigeria. There's a N50bn budget for the Federal Capital
Territory and N2bn, according to the FCT Minister Bala Mohammed, is
going into the construction of the official residence of Vice President
Namadi
Sambo, while N300 million is for the construction of the official
residences of Senate president David Mark and his deputy, Ike
Ekweremadu; the
Speaker, Aminu Tambuwal; and his deputy, Emeka Ihedioha.
So my question is; if they are building new homes for these people,
where were they living before now? First a N2bn 150-seater banquet hall,
now a N2bn home for the VP. This is the priority of the Government of a
country where more than half the population live on under $1 a day.
And Julius Berger is handling the home construction, with 20 months as
completion period.

Mrs Folorunsho Alakija is the richest black woman in the world
That is if you believe Ventures Africa,
an African business magazine and news service. According to them, Oprah

Alajika is. Forbes said in November that the billionaire oil tycoon is
worth $600 million, but Ventures Africa put her worth at about $3.3 billion. They said her 60 percent stake in a $10.74 billion oil well is worth $6.44 billion.
VA also claims that Mrs Alakija's real estate portfolio is worth over $100 million, and that she acquired a property at One Hyde Park for $102 million, and also owns a Bombardier Global Express 6000 jet which she bought earlier this year for a reported $46 million.

Dejo Richard's wife, Lamide, reveals why she packed out
I met Dejo on Facebook in 2009. In 2010 we became very close and started talking on the phone. I didn't know anything about him and in 2010 I was in Nigeria on holiday but we didn't get to meet. While in Nigeria I got to hear he was married to Monalisa Chinda. When I got back to the US I did Google his name and I saw the whole story about his marriage. At that point we were already very close and used to talk a lot. Due to the fact that we were very close, I asked him about what I read about him on the internet and he confessed that he was married and didn't talk about it because we didn't have the chance to talk. I asked him what he did wrong and why he was so violent to his wife. All these questions I asked because we were already very close and he started explaining how he met the lady in London and brought her back to Nigeria to become an actress. He stated that things started going wrong when she became a Globalcom ambassador and she started misbehaving. Infact he told me he was not legally married but they work together.

Rob Kardashian claims Rita Ora cheated on him with 20 men
Rob Kardashian has posted an angry Twitter
tirade about now ex-girlfriend Rita Ora, claiming the British singer
cheated on him with "more than 20 men" while they were together.
Regardless, he shouldn’t be splashing private details about his
relationship and break-up over social media. But then again, we’d expect
nothing less from someone who found fame as a reality TV star.

“I Never Received any Call From The Police For A Hit And Run Case” – Terry G
The Apako Master discarded the

at Club Royale with friends having fun and was escorted by two bouncers
of the club to his car peacefully and drove out after a couple of snaps
with fans. I wondered what must have triggered such an high level rumor.
