Adekunle Gold speaks on dating Adesua Etomi

RETURN TO HOME PAGE

Many months ago, Adekunle Gold tweeted that he�d asked Adesua Etomi to be his girlfriend, but then the actress, whose relationship with Banky W hadn�t been unveiled then, told Kunle she�d only accept his proposal if he was able to get 50,000 retweets�

But then, while he was gathering the retweets, Adesua announced her engagement to her husband, Banky W.


However, in a chat with Saturday Beats recently, the singer claimed it was a joke and his tweets shouldn�t have been taken seriously.
He said,

�People do not know if Adesua is just my friend. They wouldn�t know if my tweet was just banter or if it was real. I guess a lot of people thought it was real and I was asking Adesua out online. Why would I do that? We were just joking and she is my friend.

I even tweeted when she got engaged that I�d not even got the 50, 000 retweets she asked for and she was already engaged. It was just banter but I guess people see what they want to see. Adesua and I never dated; we were/are just friends.
�If we had dated, I would have definitely worked towards marrying her. I mean, who would not want to marry Adesua That is �if� we had dated but that was never the case.�

The singer, who is about 30 years old, said that he was already thinking about marriage but he was not under pressure to get married.
However, Adekunle claimed he was in a relationship but did not reveal if it was with Simi, even though it�s being alleged he is romantically involved with the singer.
He said,
�I am also thinking of marriage because I am a family man. Already, I have a girlfriend but I would not tell you if she is in this industry. I don�t have to tell you if I am dating Simi or not. I cannot reveal my girlfriend�s identity because it could be that she does not want to be known. It could be that I want that aspect of my life to be a secret. People know and love me because of my music.
I cannot be married for 10 years and people would not eventually find out. When the time is right, everyone would know who my love interest is. Let�s assume that I am dating Simi, what if it does not work out? I�d love to keep that part of my life secret.�

Talking about his show, �One Night Stand with Adekunle Gold�, the singer hinted that girls would likely go haywire especially when he serenades them with his love songs.

�I tagged my show, One Night Stand with Adekunle Gold and the 79th Element. I know that when a person hears � one night stand�, the next thing that comes to mind is intimacy. The truth is that there would be so many girls at my show. I would be playing love songs that would put people in the mood and don�t be surprised when the ladies start removing their bras,� the singer said.

A middle-aged man who pretended to be mentally ill has been apprehended in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital.

Our correspondent learnt that the man, whose name could not be ascertained, as of the time of filing this report, was apprehended near the state Ministry of Environment and Forestry along the Ahmadu Bello Way in Ilorin.

Sources said when he was searched, a cheque of N100m, pictures he allegedly took with top politicians in Nigeria, four automated teller machine cards, male and female condoms, Valium injections and Infinix Hot 5 phone were found on him.

The sources said the man, who would have been lynched by a mob, was rescued by another man dressed in a native attire.

An eye-witness who pleaded anonymity, said she got there when people caught the fake madman. She said she witnessed how the man was searched.
According to her, she ran away when it seemed the mob might lynch the suspect.
The picture of the man and a brief description of what transpired when he was apprehended quickly spread through the social media.
But the Kwara State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ajayi Okasanmi, said he could not confirm the discovery of the fake madman, adding that all he saw was a picture of the purported man circulating on the social media.

Money is nothing without good sex � Actress Njemanze

RETURN TO HOME PAGE

Fast rising Nollywood actress, Juliet Njemanze is one actress who has been able to carve a niche for herself with her ability to interpret scripts flawlessly.

In this interview with Juliet Ebirim, the Imo State-born actress who is the first child and the only girl out of four siblings, talks about her career, relationship and what makes her tick. Read on�


What�s your impression about Nollywood?
Looking at where we started, I�m so proud of where we are now. Nollywood is doing amazingly well. The new movies being released are so good that they can be compared to Hollywood movies.

Do you think you are a spiritual person? Are you the �church� type?
I�m not �churchy� but I�m spiritual. I�m very in touch with my spiritual side. I love God and I pray and read my Bible. I might not necessarily go to church every Sunday or attend church programmes, but I�m spiritual.
Does that influence the kind of roles you do? There are certain characters I can�t play and there are certain things I can�t do. If the role requires my being blasphemous or saying something that goes against my faith in God, I won�t take up the role. I can�t do sex scenes. I can do romance but not sex.
What inspires you?
My inspiration comes from people out there, some of them who say to me �I love your movies�.
When I get comments like that, I think about ways to improve and be better. Who among your colleagues do you enjoy working with? I love working with I.K Ogbonna. I�ve worked with him about three times now. He�s a fun person on set and he makes me act better.

I also love working with Mercy Macjoe, Callista Okoronkwo, Esther Ene, Val Edochie and Jerry Williams. Would you describe yourself as fashionable? I�m a fashionable person but fashion for me is being comfortable.
No matter what you wear, as long as you�re comfortable in it, you�ll look good in it. When you�re comfortable, you�re confident.

Are you in a relationship?
I have a boyfriend, but I don�t like to say that out loud because he�s an actor as well, I�m not going to mention his name. But at the right time, it will be out there.
What was the attraction?
He is a kind person and he has a lot of respect for me. I don�t joke with my respect, so as long as a man respects me, that�s it.
Did you meet each other on set?
Yes, we actually met on set.
How did it happen?
He told me that he really likes me and would want us to have a relationship. Initially, I said �No� because I have an issue with dating in the industry, but he was really persistent. He kept on pushing until I said �Yes�.
How long have you both been together?
It�s been two years. Which is more important to you in a relationship � sex, money or good looks? For me, apart from knowing God and all � sex is the most important. He has to be good in bed. It�s definitely sex before money because you could give me all the money in the world, if I�m not sexually satisfied, I will definitely cheat on you. What part of your body do you think is the most attractive? I haven�t thought about that before because I love every part of my body. Someone said it�s my boobs. (Laughs)

How do you handle male attention?
I actually pay attention to some of them and then turn them to friends. I have a way with people that even if you want something sexual, after getting close to you, you end up seeing me as a sister.
How did acting begin for you? Acting began for me when I followed a friend to a job for AGN chapter in Kano State. After rehearsals, the director asked me what I wanted to be and I told him I wanted to be a lawyer and he advised me to go for acting, that I had it in me. That was in 2012. Actually, I would say I started acting professionally in 2015 after I shot Obi Emelonye�s �Calabash�. I took acting serious after that.

�I was beaten & Raped� � 17 year old Girl tells how she was trafficked from Edo state to Italy

RETURN TO HOME PAGE

In the news recently has been stories of enslaved migrants stuck in Libya, and the 26 girls who drowned in the Mediterranean sea, trying to cross from Africa over to Europe.

But what about the girls who actually make it to Europe?
In a report by Milena Veselinovic and Isa Soares for CNN, we meet Anna (not real name), a 17-year-old girl from Edo State who was trafficked at the age of 15.
Anna, an orphan, was raised by a foster family, she said, and worked as a maid but dreamed of one day becoming a doctor.

Her boss�s daughter who was living in Europe would regale her with stories of abroad. Anna said:
She told me, when you come to Europe you�ll have opportunity, you will go to school, everything is going to be OK for you.
She said you can do whatever you want, the world there is very free. I was like, wow, that would be great. And she said, OK, maybe my sister can bring you. I was so happy, I wanted to go to Europe.

Things, however, didn�t go as smoothly as Anna imagined they would.
Arriving in Libya through Niger, she was held in a detention camp for 5 months, she said, where she was reportedly beaten and raped.
After her trafficker paid her ransom, Anna discovered she was pregnant. She however lost the baby after her smuggler gave her a liquid to drink. She said:

�I don�t even know how it happened. All I know is I was given a bottle of water and then I started bleeding. I was in a lot of pain. It was so painful.�

When she finally arrived in Italy, she discovered she now owed her traffickers �35,000, and was made to become a sex worker, bringing in �200 daily. She said:

�They dressed me up, they make my hair, they make me up. I didn�t even know what they were doing. They gave me a bag with condoms.�
�If a man sleeps with you the most he can pay is �30. Calculate how many men you have to sleep with to get that. You pay, pay, pay, and it never gets finished.�

Eventually, and luckily, Anna escaped, and is now being looked after by Progetto Integrazione Accoglienza Migranti (PIAM) � a migrant rights charity run by a Nigerian trafficking survivor, Princess Inyang Okokon.
Anna now knows better, and has words for people who wish to take the same leap as she did. She said:

�I would not advise anybody to take the same journey I took. Because I might have survived it, you may not survive it.�

Words of warning
Turin deputy chief prosecutor Paolo Borgna, who spent years tackling the trafficking of Nigerian women, says that the girls who are forced into prostitution are getting progressively younger.
Borgna says it is difficult to get victims to report their exploiters to the police. He says the Italian state used to be able to offer the incentive of temporary legal residence to victims who came forward, but that�s no longer the case, as those claiming asylum now get a temporary residence permit while their claim is being evaluated � a process that can take years.
�What needs to be done, on an administrative level rather than on the judicial level, is to reduce the waiting time to grant or to deny the status of refugees,� says Borgna.
Though Becky counts herself lucky to have escaped the clutches of her traffickers, her ordeal haunts her, and she has been seeing a psychologist to deal with her trauma.
For those thinking of making the journey to Europe, the teenager has stark words of warning: �Many people, if you ask them not to come, they would not listen to you. Because they think that living abroad is the best life ever,� she says.
�Everybody wants to come here, everybody wants to see what it�s like. But it�s not what they think it is.
�I would not advise anybody to take the same journey I took. Because I might have survived it, you may not survive it.�

EFCC arrests 13 yahoo boys in Lagos (photos)

RETURN TO HOME PAGE

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has arrested 13 suspected Internet fraudsters for conspiracy, possession of fraudulent documents and obtaining money under false pretence.
Spokesman of the commission, Mr Wilson Uwujaren, who disclosed this in a statement on Friday, said the Lagos zonal office of the anti-graft agency effected the arrests.

�They were arrested on Saturday, Dec. 16, 2017, in some parts of Lagos and Ogun states, following intelligence report received by the commission about their activities.
�The suspects allegedly confessed to being involved in phishing, love scam, forgery, spoofing and business email compromise, among other offences,� he said.

Phishing is an attempt to obtain sensitive information such as usernames, passwords and credit card details (and money), often for malicious reasons, by disguising as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication.
Spoofing, on the other hand, is a type of scam where an intruder attempts to gain unauthorised access to a user�s system or information by pretending to be the user.

According to the EFCC spokesman, some of the suspects live flamboyantly without any known sources of income and are said to have bought houses and exotic cars from the proceeds of their criminal activities.
He said they were allegedly found to be in possession of forged contract papers of multinational oil and gas companies, banks� instruments and forged data page of international passports of foreign nationals, among other documents.
Other items recovered from the suspects, he stated, included laptops, flash drives, modems, one Range Rover SUV, one Toyota Highlander, Two Toyota Corolla and one Toyota Camry.
Uwujaren added that the suspects would be charged to court as soon as investigations were concluded.

Ouch!!! Mel B cuts ex-Husbands Tattooed name out of her Skin�. LITERALLY

RETURN TO HOME PAGE

Tattoos aren�t forever � just ask Mel B, who literally cut a chunk out of her torso just to get rid of ex-husband Stephen Belafonte�s name.
While the more commonly used method is laser removal, Mel took a more extreme approach to make sure the ink was gone as fast as possible.

The singer literally cut her skin off around her ribs to get rid of the tattoo of her ex�s name. The tattoo had the words �Stephen, till death do us part, you own my heart� down her side, and now we�re guessing it just says �Till Death do us part, you own my heart�


This indeed is a much more symbolic and dramatic act, as she had it done by a surgeon and required 12 stitches.

According to People, she said �I wanted the tattoo removed to help close the final chapter on a toxic relationship, Even though I�ve taken the steps to remove Stephen�s name from my body, the domestic abuse will forever remain with me.�
See photo below ;


The original tat read, �Stephen, till death do us part you own my heart,� but Mel only removed Stephen�s name, so she can always get a new one tatted in � once the scar heals.
