RMD Finds Linda Ikeji Irritating, Calls Her A Rumour Peddler

As her fame grows,blogger, Linda Ikeji seems to get enmeshed in controversy. Tonto Dikeh once called her a failed model, now Richard Mofe-Damijo, veteran actor and Commissioner for Arts and Culture in Delta State has called her a gossip, who spreads unfounded lies about people.

The actor of repute was forced to say this, when Linda wrote this on her blog:

The actor was born July 6th 1961. Wishing him many more beautiful years ahead. Meanwhile the actor has acquired a palatial home said to be worth about N250 million in Asaba, Delta State, where he is the Commissioner for Arts and Culture’.

Reacting to the story, RMD said:

“It has been brought to my attention that one Linda Ikeji character, who I understand is a gossip, has put up a story about my N250m [house].

Stating further, “ordinarily, I will never dignify her type with a response. But with the calls, texts and BBMs I have received, I’d like to sound a warning to her (Ikeji) to desist from fabricating stories about me and get a life.

“Knowing the worth of a property is not rocket science. And if you find a dignified career path and work hard at it, you will be too busy and successful to spread unfounded lies about people,” the veteran actor ended.

I Parked Out of My Matrimonial Home at Midnight-Ayo Adesanya

Ayo Adesanya, is one of the most respected Nollywood actresses today. However, in 2009, she made the headlines for the wrong reasons, after she split from her husband, Goriola Hassan, after eight years of marriage.

In this interview, the University of Ibadan graduate opens up on her marriage, her new movie ‘Amope Alasela’ and more:

What informs this gentleness about you which you exhibit?
I think it has to do with my nature. I don’t catch my trip being hyper or everywhere. I have a calm nature and I look well before I take my actions. That does not suggest ‘am an introvert. I talk and gist when I see people ‘am familiar with.

How do you handle male suitors as a star actress especially now that you are out of marriage?
That is true I have a couple of guys who want to go out with me but am mature minded and know how to handle men. There is a way you tell somebody “No” without being rude to the person.

Does that suggest you are in any relationship for now?
(laughs) Yes I am in a relationship.

Is it the same relationship that created so much attention about you dating an official of a parastatal like a year ago?Really?

(laughs) I am in a relationship and ‘am enjoying every bit of the relationship.

Are you going to give marriage a trial?
If it comes why not? Definitely I will give marriage a trial. There are several level-headed men around. So I will give marriage another try someday.

Do you think you and your ex-husband, Goriola Hassan can reconcile?
Capital NO. I don’t see anything of such happening we are not just compatible. We can never reconcile, never.

What didn’t you see the incompatibility while you were together?
As human beings we are not perfect. We make mistakes and learn from our actions. Life experiences can come in the hard way or any other way.

What are the irreconcilable difference that is responsible for your not coming back?
His ways are not my ways. And I don’t think anyone in a relationship that is not bringing happiness should stay.

How many years did the relationship last?
The relationship lasted for about 8 years.

What does being out of the marriage leave you with?
It leaves me a happier person. I have also been able to discover myself. There are several things now I can do all by myself now than before.

How true is it that you parked out of the house in the middle of the night?
Yes, I parked out of the house in the middle of the night. I don’t want to relive my past.

You both have the same tattoo drawn on your arms. That obviously is a sign an attachment
(cuts in) I have started undergoing series of surgeries abroad to clear the tattoo off my body.

Does that not suggest efforts to get rid of anything about him?
I am just tired of having tattoos on me. I have mellowed now on all those stuffs. I am now more spiritual and my religious inclinations kicks against it.

What is the state of your relationship with your ex-husband?
I don’t want to go into that please.

Who is responsible for the upkeep of your son?
I don’t want to go into that for the sake of my son.

As a single mother, how do you cope with paying bills?
Don’t forget I work moreover God has been good to me.

Peradventure you decide to settle down, who is your kind of man?
He must be God-fearing. I mean a real God-fearing man because there are so many fake God fearing men around. He must also be humble even if he owns the world. Humility means a lot to me. He must also be cool and nice to me.

What if the man in your life demands your hand in marriage?
Of course, I will marry him. And no further comments on that please.

There are strong insinuations that the man in your life is married…
That is not true. The man in my life is single. He is 100% single.

He has never been married?
I am not talking about the man in my life. He is single.

What do you like about him?
He is God-fearing and really understands me well including my short comings.

Are you cool with your status?
Yes I am very fine. And I can pay any amount just to be happy.

So when is your son getting a junior one?
(laughs) I am not God oooo please.

Why I Fought Patience Ozokwor’ – Mercy Johnson

Actress Mercy Johnson who was reportedly in a showdown with her older colleague, Patience Ozokwor on location in Asaba few weeks back, has blamed her uncontrollable outburst on Ozokwor’s repeated utterances referring to her as an ‘ashawo’- a hoochie.
In a telephone interview, Mercy recounted her side of the story to NET. She noted that Patience Ozokwor was given a revealing clothe to wear on that location, apparently to depict a character in the movie that was in the making and Patience allegedly refused the outfit, stating that she is not Mercy Johnson, not an ‘ashawo’.
“I’m not a prostitute. I don’t like the name. I told her I didn’t like it”, Mercy told NET. According to her, the faceoff was escalated when Mama Gee refused to stop calling her by unpleasant name.
By last week, there were unconfirmed reports that the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) might take a disciplinary action against Mercy Johnson and Patience Ozokwor but when NET contacted the AGN president, Segun Arinze via SMS, he simply stated that the issue has been sorted out in-house.
The text message read “Hello sir, I just want to know if the AGN is taking any disciplinary action against Mercy Johnson and Patience Ozokwor”.
“No it’s sorted out. Thanks”, he replied. Arinze would not comment further.
Arinze, sources said, has instructed both parties not to make any further comments on the matter.

Ibori Fallout: ‘Liberate’ Calls on Uduaghan, Members of Delta Assembly, To Resign In Shame

Ibori's cousin and governor of Delta state, Emmanuel Uduaghan

By SaharaReporters, New York

Liberate Delta Peoples Movement, which represents over 15,800 citizens of Delta State across the world, has called on Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan and members of the House of Assembly to resign, charging them with inaction, ineptitude and poor governance over the conviction of James Ibori for money-laundering in the United Kingdom.
In a statement, Liberate said, “Ibori was extradited to the UK, he entered a guilty plea to 25 counts of fraud, money laundering and corruption against the people of Delta State.  On 18th April 2012, Liberate called on the Delta State House of Assembly to hold an emergency session to discuss the implications of the sentence for the State, in particular, the failure of Uduaghan to carry-out an audit of the States accounts so that the fraud Ibori pleaded guilty to can be identified.”
The group said it considers the inaction of both arms of the government to be complicity in a grand cover-up, in collusion with James Ibori and his benefactors, to continue to suppress the full extent of the criminal enterprise that is now headed Governor Uduaghan.
“What is the role of the Governor and what is the role of the House of Assembly, if not to guarantee the proper use of the resources of the State?” the statement queried?
“Deltans do not have any faith or confidence in the current Governor, Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan nor in the Delta House of Assembly to carry-out their proper roles as steward of the resources of the State, their inability and unwillingness to investigate this matter is a matter of National embarrassment and a breach of their oaths of Office; they must now do the honourable thing and end their reign of shame,” Liberate said.
[Full text of the statement]:
UDUAGHAN, ALL MEMBERS OF THE DELTA STATE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY SHOULD RESIGN IN SHAME OVER POOR HANDLING OF THE IBORI SAGA
Members of Liberate – Delta Peoples Movement, a group representing over 15,800 citizens of Delta State across the world; would like to condemn in the strongest possible terms the inaction, ineptitude and poor governance being displayed for the entire world to see by the Governor of Delta State Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan and the entire members of the Delta State House of Assembly.  Over a month now since a properly convened court of law in the United Kingdom sentenced the former Governor of Delta State, James Onanefe Ibori to 13 years in prison for embezzling the State’s funds and laundering it in the United Kingdom. Ibori was extradited to the UK, he entered a guilty plea to 25 counts of fraud, money laundering and corruption against the people of Delta State.  On 18th April 2012, Liberate called on the Delta State House of Assembly to hold an emergency session to discuss the implications of the sentence for the State, in particular, the failure of Uduaghan to carry-out an audit of the States accounts so that the fraud Ibori pleaded guilty to can be identified.  What is the role of the Governor and what is the role of the House of Assembly, if not to guarantee the proper use of the resources of the State?  We consider their inaction to be complicity in a grand cover-up, in collusion with James Onanefe Ibori and his benefactors, to continue to suppress the full extent of the criminal enterprise that is now headed by Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan.
As such, we call for the resignation of the following:
1.     Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan, Governor (By electoral fraud)
2.     Hon. Eng. Victor Ochei Aniocha North Speaker – PDP
3.      Hon. Basil Ganagana Patani Deputy Speaker – PDP

8.     Hon. Julius Okpoko Okpe Minority Leader – DPP
9.     Hon. (Prince) Erijo Johnson Isoko South II Deputy Majority Leader – PDP
10.  Hon. (Barr.) Mrs Pat Ajudua Oshimili North Member – ACCORD
11.  Hon. Tim Kome Ohwerefe Isoko North Member –PDP
12.  Hon. Efe Ofobrouku Uvwie Member – PDP
13.  Hon. (Olorogun) Taleb Tebite Ughelli South Member – PDP

25.  Hon. Friday Osanebi Ndokwa East Member – PDP
26.  Hon. Daubry Kennedy Burutu II Member – PDP
27.  Hon. (Dr.) Ojo Alphonsus Ukwuani Member – PDP
28.  Hon. (Barr.) Martin Okonta Ika South Member – PDP
In any democratic country in the world, it is the minimum the citizens can expect, that when their elected officers fail to carry out the duties required of them by the constitution and by the principals of good governance, they should resign as their actions amount to a gross misconduct and a dereliction of duty. In making this call, we are fully aware that those who are called ‘honourable’ in today’s Nigeria, have no honour and will not resign despite the glaring omission on their part.  It does not stop us as citizens from calling on them to respect their offices and pointing out to the rest of Nigeria and the world at large that we do not support their poor governance practice.  They cannot feign ignorance on such a matter that has received international publicity.  It is incumbent upon them to have instructed an audit to determine whether or not, such funds as have been identified are missing; whether any other funds have been misappropriated, assure themselves and us as citizens that our funds are safe and contact the UK authorities confirm ownership of all ‘proceeds of crime’ confiscated from Ibori.
Liberate spokesperson Mr. Cadre Drake said that:
‘It is not just about sitting at the House of Assembly answering ‘Honourable’, the people expect their representatives to work and to carry out all the duties expected of them.  This is a spectacular failure, topped only by their ongoing failure to reach-out, communicate and engage with their constituents; clearly they do not understand the meaning of governance and so they should resign.’
Deltans do not have any faith or confidence in the current Governor, Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan nor in the Delta House of Assembly to carry-out their proper roles as steward of the resources of the State, their inability and unwillingness to investigate this matter is a matter of National embarrassment and a breach of their oaths of Office; they must now do the honourable thing and end their reign of shame.

Profile of Nigeria's Boko Haram Leader Abubakar Shekau-BBC

Nigeria's Boko Haram Leader Abubakar Shekau

By BBC News website

Abubakar Shekau is the leader of the militant Islamist group Boko Haram, which has carried out a series of deadly attacks across northern Nigeria. Abdullahi Tasiu Abubakar from the BBC Hausa service looks at Nigeria's most wanted man.
The leader of the militant Islamist group Boko Haram is said to be a fearless loner, a complex, paradoxical man - part intellectual, part gangster.
Fondly called imam or leader by his followers, Abubakar Muhammad Shekau was born in Shekau village in Nigeria's north-eastern state of Yobe.
Some say he is 34 or 35, others that he may be 43 - the uncertainty adds to the myths surrounding Nigeria's most wanted man.
Radical theology student
Mr Shekau was once thought to have been killed by security forces in 2009 - only for him to reappear in videos posted on the internet less than a year later as Boko Haram's new leader.

The group's founder, Muhammad Yusuf died in police custody, and hundreds of others were killed during that massive crackdown - which many blame for making the group even more violent.
Mr Shekau has not been seen in public since.
Instead, still images and video clips of him are released from time to time, mostly online, by the group's faceless "public enlightenment department".
Mr Shekau is said to have met his predecessor in Maiduguri, capital of Borno State and now Boko Haram's headquarters, through a mutual friend, Mamman Nur.
Nigeria's authorities say Mr Nur masterminded the August 2011 bombing of the UN office complex in Nigeria's capital, Abuja.
All three were theology students - and Mr Shekau was seen as the quietest and perhaps the most radical of them.
"He hardly talks, he is fearless," says Ahmed Salkida, a journalist with such good access to Boko Haram that, at one stage, he was suspected of being a member.
A screengrab taken from a video released on You Tube on April 12, 2012 apparently shows Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau (C) sitting flanked by militants Under Mr Shekau, Boko Haram has become more radical and carried out more killings
He says he only escaped summary execution by Maiduguri police after an intelligence officer intervened.
"He is one of those who believes that you can sacrifice anything for your belief," Mr Salkida says.
Mr Shekau is fluent in his native Kanuri, Hausa and Arabic languages - he does not speak English.
"I used to joke with him that he should teach me Arabic and I would teach him English," Mr Salkida says.
When Yusuf was killed, Mr Shekau is said to have married one of his four wives and adopted their children - perhaps, say sources who do not want to be named, to preserve Boko Haram's cohesion or "purity".
'Chilling message'
The group has a highly decentralised structure - the unifying force is ideology.
Mr Shekau does not communicate directly with the group's foot soldiers - he is said to wield his power through a few select cell leaders, but even then contact is minimal.
"A lot of those calling themselves leaders in the group do not even have contact with him," Mr Salkida says.

Mr. Shekau has neither the charismatic streak nor the oratorical skills of his predecessor - but he has an intense ideological commitment and ruthlessness, say people who study the group.
"He is the leader of the more militant wing of the group as testified by his aping of Osama Bin Laden in his video appearances," says Abubakar Mu'azu from the University of Maiduguri.
Mr Shekau issued a chilling message in one of those appearances - which provides an major insight into what his leadership of the group will bring.
"I enjoy killing anyone that God commands me to kill - the way I enjoy killing chickens and rams," he said in the video clip released just after Boko Haram had carried out its deadliest attack so far, killing at least 180 people in Kano, northern Nigeria's largest city.
Mr Shekau is also the group's spiritual leader - and, judging by video footage, he seems equally comfortable delivering sermons to his followers.
"He has a photographic memory and is well versed in theology," Mr Salkida said.
He is nicknamed "Darul Tawheed", which translates as a specialist in Tawheed. This is an orthodox doctrine of the uniqueness and oneness of Allah, which is the very cornerstone of Islam.
But Nigeria's mainstream Muslim clerics do not regard Mr Shekau as a scholar and question his understanding of Islam - and regularly condemn the bombings and drive-by shootings committed by his followers against anyone who disagrees with them.

BBA7: Tears as Ola and Chris depart

The Downville housemates cry it out with Ola

Friday, May 18, 2012, was a tear-filled day in the Big Brother house, as Ola and Chris, the Nigerian representatives in the star game, broke the news of their voluntary exit to fellow housemates.

The housemates, who initially didn’t believe the story, were shocked when it dawned on them that it wasn’t a joke. Almost immediately, everyone broke down in tears as Ola and Chris took turns to hug them, saying their final goodbyes.

Minutes earlier, the duo had told Biggie they wanted to quit the show based on the house doctor’s advice as regards Ola’s failing health.

29 year old Ola Bakare is an interior designer, while his friend and colleague, Chris is a fashion designer.

The housemates sympathize with Ola and Chris
