GET WELL SOON: Vast of Bracket diagnosed with cancer of the blood



Such a sad story to report but it will definitely end well. Ase !!! . Nwanchukwu Ozioko, popularly known as Vast from the popular singing group, Bracket, has been diagnosed with Lymphoma, a type of cancer of the blood. (Please Check it On Google)

The singer was diagnosed in February this year after suffering serious body pains, headaches, non stop coughing, loss of weight and weakness while in Paris for a show. He flew to London where a test conducted determined he had cancer. Vast has been receiving treatment at the Wellington Hospital in the UK since February and I hear he's responding very well to treatment. He has undergone 4 circles of chemotherapy with each circle costing about N1.4million. He will do a few more before returning to Nigeria next month. 

The sad part I hear from sources close to the singer is that he actually went to a hospital in Nigeria late last year when he started losing weight and feeling weak. They conducted a test on him but it took them forever to come back with the test result. Over three months actually. By then the cancer had spread to his liver. But thankfully he's getting better and will return home soon. Please say a prayer for him. More photos after the Break

Reno Omokri responds to Guardian UK piece on Pres. Jonanthan



Reno Omokri is Special Assistant to President Jonathan on New Media and below is his response to Remi Adekoya's article in the UK Guardian
I just read Mr. Remi Adekoya's piece in the Guardian of the U.K. entitled ‘Goodluck Jonathan's report card for Nigeria? Must try harder’ in which he praised President Jonathan for a booming economy but came down hard on him for failing to help Nigeria's poor.
When Adekoya says "Infrastructure also remains a problem. Without a modern road network, doing business in Nigeria will remain prohibitively expensive and logistically challenging", he betrays a surface understanding of recent events in Nigeria.

Sunmbo Ajaba's wedding to pastor David Adeoye postponed



The wedding has either been cancelled or postponed. Nobody knows what it is at the moment. The couple who have been dating quietly since 2011 were supposed to wed this past Saturday May 4th at Royalty Christian Centre where Adeoye is head pastor, but no wedding took place. In fact Sunmbo, one of 2face Idibia's baby mamas, is currently in the US on holiday with her kids while pastor Adeoye is in Nigeria.

Pastor Adeoye, who lost his wife in 2011, made his intention to marry Sunmbo known to some members of his congregation last year, an announcement that didn't go down well with his followers. Heard some of them quit the church...and a few pastors advised Adeoye to shelve the idea of marrying Sunmbo for now. Has that forced the man of God to cancel his wedding? Time will tell. For now, let's just say the wedding has been postponed while they sort out their issues...

Kim K Seen with Beyonce and Solange (LOOK)



It's long been rumored that Jay Z, Beyonce and Solange were not exactly fond of Kanye's baby mama, Kim Kardashian and kinda banned her from their inner circle. Well, that may not be exactly true as the reality star was pictured with the sisters at the Met Ball in New York on Sunday night. Maybe the Knowles sisters were just being nice! :-)

PHOTOS: Pharrell Williams’ Fiancée Exposes Right B-réast As She Trips




 It is largely regarded as one of the most stylish events of the year, and sees the great and good of the fashion world come together for one night only.
But Pharrell Williams' fiancee would have no doubt been left feeling more than a little red-faced on account of her somewhat ungraceful exit from the 2013 Met Ball on Monday night.
Accompanying her rapper beau to the star-studded event at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art, the model and designer was dressed to impress in a chic midnight blue jumpsuit.

Omawunmi Opens Up! My Daughter's Father Is Single & YUMMY



A story went viral on the internet yesterday about who Omawunmi's baby daddy is. And the story wouldn't stop... Here is how the story was reported and also read Omawunmi's reaction below. I love her choice of word..Yummy! 
"Omawumi was handsomely settled to keep the name of her baby's father a top secret. The reason is that the man is a sitting governor in one of the oil rich South South states and his wife is said to be very brutal; she "deals with ladies" who come close to her husband.

Man runs amok in Lagos, Stabbing people at sight





Hell was let loose recently in Lagos when a 30-year-old man identified as Kehinde Akinpelu ran amok, armed with a sharp knife, threatening to kill anybody at sight.  The incident which took place at Oloja area of Bariga in Lagos made people living in the street to scamper for safety in different directions.

Unfortunately, a 69-year-old woman, Titilayo Adekoya who lives at number 27 in that street could not escape before the man pounced on her and stabbed her severally.  It took the timely intervention of a team of policemen on patrol and agile neighbours to stop the man from severing her body into pieces.

Hafiz Oyetoro’s controversial move from Etisalat to MTN as a brand face seems to have changed his fortune for good, writes CHUX OHAI
South Africa-based scholar, Prof. Kole Omotosho, and lecturer at Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education, Hafiz Oyetoro, do not belong to the same generation. The distance between Nigeria and SA also implies that they cannot be meeting each other constantly. Yet, they both have something in common.
They have the enviable record of successfully combining their work as lecturers with advertising. Apart from the fact that Omotosho is a writer, best known for his controversial novel about Nigeria – Just Before Dawn – he has made a name for himself in SA where his face has graced several advert bill boards. The latest is the one in which he is advertising for Fidelity Bank Plc.

UNBELIEVABLE!! Girl's stomach removed Totally after drinking inside club



An 18-year-old girl had her stomach removed after drinking a cocktail at a bar, according to reports.  Authorities say the British teenager has had her stomach removed after she ingested a cocktail made with liquid nitrogen, an exotic ingredient often used by waitresses at bars to add a touch of excitement to their drinks.

British news media said 18-year-old, Gaby Scanlon was out with friends on Thursday night in the northern city of Lancaster, England, when she was hospitalized after having a drink prepared with liquid nitrogen, super cooled version of the harmless gas.  The liquid nitrogen evaporates rapidly at room temperature, creating a special effect as warmer water condenses around the glass.

When it comes to rolling and dinning with international stars and figures, Nollywood actress, Genevieve Nnaji is not lagging behind in that ‘all important course’.  Just like a five-unit project course, which cannot just be carried over, that is how it is to Genny, as she is fondly called by some of her fans. At the recently held Beyonce’s concert, the Nollywood export made sure she had ‘mad’ fun at the event. Also, like in most occasions, which are sometimes used to mingle and network, Genevieve did not ‘slack’ as she also networked at the concert.

Dear Yinka,
Blessed man, brother, friend, love, father. I miss you so much in mind, body, and spirit. I never loved somebody as deeply as I loved you. If I could have caught you to stop your fall, I would have been there. May your light shine abundantly! I am not ready to say goodbye and I hope we will meet again in another time and another place. Your time was too short. Your gifts were so special. Your smile was so pure. Your mind was a ladder of intellect and curiosity brimming with childlike imagination. We will miss your presence. I leave all things in God's hands. Love and peace. RIP Yinka Olonode 
With Universal Love
