‘I believe FFK is a Snitch’ – says Lanre

The visit of Chief Femi Fani-Kayode to President Goodluck Jonathan, has been the top speculation all over the media, many people have reacted. Even though till now, All Progressive Congress party has not said anything on the Muslim/Muslim Ticket allegation passed on the party, some individuals have expressed the view both on Muslim/Muslim Ticket and FFk’s visit to presidential villa.

Here is one of the views of people on the issue:

One sunny afternoon I received a call from a senior colleaque who happens to be a friend like a brother, Ojomu Taiwo, he was like; “Lanre, do you know that Femi Fani-Kayode had a meeting with Jonathan at Aso Villa” and I was like “Are you serious? Thank God”. I then told him many like FFK are in APC and they’ll leave APC as times goes on, to me that of Femi Fani-Kayode is good riddance to bad rubbish.

Plot To Dump Sambo For Al-Mustapha As Jonathan’s Running Mate Thickens

The plot to dump Vice President Namadi Sambo as running mate to President Goodluck Jonathan ahead of next year’s election is far from being over, according to indications last night.The plot to dump C ahead of next year’s election is far from being over, according to indications last night.

The new plot is the  Innovation of some political heavyweights from the North who believe that for the PDP to make the desired impact in that part of the country in the election, it must have a presidential running mate that is widely acceptable and politically savvy across the region.

Namadi Sambo, in their view, is too far removed from the realities of the politics of the region and therefore incapable of either addressing the issues or galvanising support for Jonathan ahead of the 2015 election.

‘My wife pushes me too hard’- Ali Baba

Ace-comedian, Atuyota Akporobomeriere, a.k.a  Ali Baba,  shares the story of his eight-year-old marriage to his wife, Mary. He has always testified that marriage has brought him happiness, and fulfillment.  Their marriage is  blessed with six children, including an adopted daughter.

What marriage has done to me
Marriage has been good. It’s a stablising factor, it helps  one to plan properly. It also redefines your responsibility pattern. When you are a young man, you don’t have the kind of responsibility you should have as a man. For instance, if somebody says  ‘let’s go partying in Ghana,’ you are ready to storm Ghana without anything holding you back.

But when you get married, you will no longer take that kind of  decision on your own. It means that a lot of  things you do  will now have to be shared with your partner. Marriage also helps you not only to reorganise youself in respect of how you want to live your life, but, more  importantly, how you spend the money that you make in your business.

Soyinka, who is the Chairman, Board of Directors of CBCIU, represented by a member of the Board, Prof. Wale Adeniran, stated that with Nigeria surviving  a civil war, the next war the nation may fight is  religious war.

I sold my property to host Yoruba Movie Awards – Laface

Creator of the Yoruba Movie Awards, Tunde Oshinibosi, shares his big dreams for the entertainment industry with Ashiwaju.org.

The large turn-out of popular Yoruba acts such as, Fathia Balogun, Hafiz Oyetoro akaSaka, Odunlade Adekola and Mercy Aigbe and many others, no doubt, added colour to the second edition of the Yoruba Movie Awards event held in Ibadan, Oyo State, over the weekend.

But, unknown to many, including the stars present at the occasion, the glamorous ceremony almost existed only in the imagination of the initiator, seasoned Nigerian showbiz promoter, Tunde Oshinibosi, aka Laface.

This was as a result of the near-insurmountable challenges that trailed the planning process.  Reliving his experience during the build-up to the awards, Laface said his efforts were nearly marred by bureaucracy.

“The major challenge I encountered was funding. It was so alarming and heart breaking experience for me. We had to beg for sponsorship, I had to sell my property (an uncompleted building) at a give-away price of N30m to fund the awards event. We spoke to the government and it took a lot of talking back and forth. I don’t know why we have to sell Yoruba content to a Yoruba speaking state.

My colleagues want to run me down -Klint da Drunk

Popular comedian, Klint da Drunk, speaks on the controversies currently surrounding his career, 

Two things appear to be currently happening to the career of ace Nigerian comedian, Afamefuna Igwemba,  popularly known as Klint da Drunk.

 At a time when many comedians are flaunting jet-set lifestyles and living large, the funny man whose unique style of comedy earned him the affection of many Nigerians appears somewhat quiet. Little wonder, some of his fans felt if he had silently left the scene.

Secondly, a recent scandal involving the comedian and an Abuja-based church that had contracted him to perform in one of its programmes became an issue after he was accused of failing to show up.

In the face of it all, Klint remains calm and unfazed. He however says, “Everything that was written about the incident is false and yes there was a show that was held that I didn’t show up at all.”

The entertainer, who earned acclaim after performing at the 2000 edition of Opa William’s Nite of a Thousand Laffs   in Port-Harcourt, Rivers State, admits he was invited to perform at a church programme by one-time Nollywood actor-turned pastor, Larry Koldsweat. He says it was scheduled to take place on March 23, 2014.

Shopaholic …with Ure Okezie

Of course, I love shopping.  I love everything about shopping. I love window-shopping and the proper shopping.

How often do you shop then?

I shop very often. There is always somewhere to go and I must shop for that event because you would need outfit to wear for that particular occasion.  In short, I shop regularly, almost weekly.

Do you bother going with a list of items to buy?

Sometimes. But other times, I just go window- shopping and I end up buying one item or the other. I usually have something in mind when I go shopping anyway. There is no particular item I must buy any time I shop.

How do you dress for shopping?
