Another Nollywood actor’s marriage crashes

Comic Yoruba actor Tayo Babatunde Bernard popularly known as Baba Tee’s marriage to London based writer, Yetunde Oduwole has reportedly collapsed.
Reports have it that the couple, whose marriage is barely two years old parted ways due to irreconcilable differences.
Baba Tee was recently a guest on a local TV station, TVC, and whilst answering questions on his marital status he denied his wife on National TV saying he has never been married and even showed his ringless finger to confirm it.
It was gathered that Baba Tee has stopped putting on his rings to events, as he has been spotted without it on numerous occasions recently.
According to close sources, the marriage was doomed from the beginning as Yetunde, a divorcee and much older and wiser woman, was not the right choice for the young man.
However, those who know the actor well, labeled him as a liar because his London based lover, Yetunde Oduwole is well known to his friends and family.

"My issues with D'Banj, Wande Coal and Don Jazzy" - Sunday Are opens up

It's been a long time since the Chief Executive Officer of List Entertainment, Mr. Sunday Are spoke extensively on major industry issues. The former Manager of the defunct Mo’Hits Records broke his silence in a recent chat with Rasheed Abubakar of Encomum Magazine.

He opened up on life after the shocking break-up that scattered one of the biggest Record Labels in Nigeria and other issues that many do not know about. Read the interview below:

Being a veteran artiste manager, how has it been?

The only thing I can say is I am working and I have not stopped working because it’s a job that gives me joy. I have passion for my job. I love the job and that is why you’ll see me at some event, not because of the money but the passion. Beside, my core work is field work, which is setting up stage, sound and light until when I diverted into artiste management. In fact, I prefer to be addressed as a stage manager than artiste manager because that’s my foundation.

For instance, I coordinated all the artistes that performed at the launch of Mo Abudu’s EbonyLifeTv and Dare’s "Love Like A Movie Concert". I paired Pa Victor Olaiya with 2face, Evangelist Ebenezer Obey with M.I, Elegant Stallion Onyeka Onwenu with Omawumi and King Sunny Ade with Wizkid for tight rehearsals in my office during the EbonyLifeTv lunch. It was a tight concert and I feel honoured for such events. Honestly, I still want to do my stage management work even though I still love managing artistes because it’s something I love doing as well.

Wande’s vision has not aligned with ours and a few months ago all parties mutually agreed that a separation would be the best course of action.

Governor Chime of Enugu State confirms detaining his wife...in her interest

From Sahara Reporters...

Governor Sullivan Chime of Enugu State has confirmed reports that he is keeping his wife incarcerated, but that he is doing so in her interest.

“I wanted the best for her and that’s why I pleaded with the doctors to have her treated at home,” he stated during a press conference in Enugu.  “That’s also why I allowed her access to her telephone and laptop which unfortunately led to the stage where I’m now being falsely accused of imprisoning or detaining my own wife.”

Offering an explanation about his decision, the governor said, “My wife has some medical challenges and it would be very unkind for me to talk about her condition on the pages of newspapers,” the governor said at a strange press conference in Government House. “I’ve done everything to protect her integrity and I’m not now going to expose her to ridicule because some people want to exploit her situation to drag me into a needless war of words.

More on song controversy: Wande Coal releases original studio demo version of 'Baby Face' with Don Jazzy

Wande Coal's 'Baby Face' producer Sheyi Akerele speaks out on controversial song

Top music producer, Sheyi Akerele aka Shizzi, who produced Wande Coal's version of the controversial

song 'Baby Face', which Don Jazzy says was stolen from him, has released a statement explaining his involvement in the whole issue. He mentions that he produced Wande's hit song 'Go Low' which he never got credit for. See his statement below...

I have heard and seen some folks rants about me stealing production credit for Wande Coal's new single "Baby Face" and I would like to clarify this issue. I was only doing my job by making the beat for Wande and that's what I did. I don't see any reason why people should jump into quick conclusions without taking their time to really dig into the matter for facts.

Two years back, I remember I created a demo for Wande Coal's "Shawty Go Low" and someone else took the credits. I was in shock because I had plans to finish the song with Wande and was hoping it would be released as a single which I produced. Here is the link to the original version of "Go Low"

"Hold my husband responsible if I die" - wife of Enugu governor tells NHRC

In a petition to the commission, Mrs. Clara Chime accused the governor of an abusive relationship that has led to her suffering from depression, adding that the governor has locked her up in a room and denied her access to her four-year-old son and visitors.

The petition of the governor’s wife read:

“I have been married to Governor Sullivan Chime for five years. It has been a somewhat tempestuous relationship, which has virtually irretrievably broken down in the past couple of years.

“We do not have a relationship anymore and the situation inevitably led to my nervous breakdown. I have been diagnosed with severe depression and at some point was quite suicidal.

“The strategy of my estranged husband is to subject me to the most horrific and intolerable of conditions to cause my demise but my strength and will to live has kept me alive. It is very difficult to outline everything happening to me here but I shall enumerate the major issues below:

Police reacts on boobs-grabbing by senior officer

The photo you are seeing above was described by the  Nigerian Police as fake. It showed a senior police officer in the act of fondling the breast of an unknown lady. The police said the picture, which went viral on the internet, was deliberately fabricated with the aid of Adobe Photoshop technology to mislead the public.

The alleged amorous scene, the police authorities claimed, did not take place and the officer had nothing to do with the woman in the above photo with him...

The police authority said they arrived at this conclusion after interrogating the officer. On the Facebook page of the police, the affected police officer was quoted as saying, “I don’t know this lady. I never took the picture with her.”

The police said it would not tolerate a display of affection for the opposite sex in full public glare, but insisted it has observed that this particular photo is not real, after all.

“An image showing one of our officers in a compromising position with a lady has gone viral. Please check the hands in the so-called picture that is in circulation and you will agree that they were photo-shopped."

"My first cousin and my boyfriend betrayed me" - actress Mina Horsefall

Nollywood actress and ex-beauty queen, Mina Horsefall is still yet to get over the fact that her own cousin, Helen Prest Ajayi snatched her boyfriend from her and eventually got married to him. She said her boyfriend told her that he wouldn't date her cousin even when he was already having sex with her.

Below is what the actress told Encomium about the worst betrayal of her life...

"My first cousin and my ex betrayed me. The whole story is complicated. She dated my boyfriend and married him. I had no idea what was going on until they were about to get married because she was pregnant for him. I did not introduce him to her. She knew him. He was my Uncle's best man and we were in the bridal train. He met us together and went after me.

"We had a relationship for some years, two years at a stretch, then it became off and on and all those times she knew. She was even engaged to someone else at the time. Unknown to me she 'worked' her NYSC down to Lagos to have my boyfriend. She was living with him and it didn't make any sense to me. Until later on, I found out they were getting married.

"What pained me most and the worst part of it was when I got to hear about it and confronted him, he said he can never do anything with my sister.and there you are getting her pregnant and marrying her. It got all messed up. This happened in September 2012. I haven't forgiven them. I don't think I ever will"
