Julius Agwu "I wouldn't have gone to school if UNIPORT wasn't in my village"

Julius Agwu shares how the location of UNIPORT in his village shaped his life for the better

But for a stroke of luck which saw the establishment of a university in Julius Agwu's hometown, the 'Crack Ya Ribs' comedian may never have gone to school or even been able to speak English.

Speaking exclusively to Pulse, Julius revealed that the establishment of UNIPORT in his hometown played a role in him attending school and also his eventual choice of Theatre Arts as a course of study in the university.

"I grew up in Choba which was a village but is very much a town now. It is where UNIPORT is located" he revealed.

"Thank God the school was in my village if not I won't have gone to school. I was a village boy to the core, I would wake up in the morning, go to the farm and then go for catechism classes as well. I used to scale the fence into the campus to play with the lecturer's children, that's where I acquired socialisation skills."

Stephanie OkerekeActress’ Cousin Reportedly Arrested For Rape

A cousin of Nollywood actress, Stephanie Okerekehas been reportedly arrested for raping a 300 Level female student of the University of Lagos. The student named Arionla alleged that Prince Daniel Okereke raped her at his Mende home on Thursday, November 6.

Arionla, 22, told Sun that she and Prince Daniel became friends after meeting through an online dating website.

“We became friends online and I gave him my number. He kept calling, requesting to see me in school and I kept giv­ing him one excuse or the other. He actually said that he wanted me to be his friend and I declined that I am a student and should be allowed to face my studies,” Arinola toldSun.

On that fateful day, Arionla said Prince Daniel called to inform her that he was in the school premises. Arionla said she told Prince that she was sick and he volunteered to drive her to the pharmacy to get drugs, a gesture that got her impressed. After buying the drugs, they drove to a fast food joint to grab a meal, but Prince Daniel asked her to join him to a sit out joint where she could relax to eat her meal only to drive her to his house in Mende, Maryland.

According to what Arionla told Sun,  the suspect, Prince Daniel Okereke, lured her into his home and subdued her with the aid of his security guard before pouncing on her and raping her severely.

“When we got to his house, I told him that I was not interested in having sex with him, he called two of his security guards to help him to tie me up and seal my mouth. He then brought out his belt and started flogging me,” Arionla narrated to Sun.

After several rape sessions which lasted for more than 30 minutes, Arionla revealed that Prince Daniel ordered her to pick her bags and get out of the house. Angry and bitter about her ordeal, Arionla said she started destroying the properties in his house.

According to the report,  angry neighbours of Prince Daniel who were not aware of what led to her destroying properties in the compound including a car, called the police from the Area F, Ikeja who arrested her for assault. With her statement to the police coupled with the bruises on her boy as evidence, a case of attempted rape was established and Prince Daniel was arrested but later released on bail while Arinola was admitted to the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital.

Suspecting that the case might be swept under the carpet due to Prince Daniel's connections- he is also the cousin of former DG of the Nigerian Stock Exchange, Ndi Okereke-Onyuike- Arinola and her family reported the case to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) Panti who rearrested Prince Daniel Okereke.

According to the Sun report, 37-year old Prince Daniel Okereke has admitted to the crime and blamed the devil for the act.

“I am so ashamed of myself. We are family of professionals whom you know very well. I don’t know what got into my head. I am sorry and plead for forgive­ness,” Daniel pleaded.

Public Relations Officer of the Lagos State Police Command, Kenneth Nwosu, has confirmed the case and also revealed that the autopsy report from the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, established that there was an actual penetration in the course of the scuffle.

Prince Daniel alongside one his security men, Idris Abubakar, who aided him in the rape crime have also been arraigned before a Yaba Chief Magistrate’s Court. They were hit with a five count charge bordering on conspiracy, assault, rape and threat to life.

Magistrate Y. O Aje-Afunwa has adjourned the case till Friday, January, 9, 2015

Stephanie OkerekeActress’ Cousin Reportedly Arrested For Rape



Ice Prince Finally Reveals He Dated Yvonne Nelson

Olisa also asked Ice Prince about his relationship with Nigerian fashion designer and celebrity stylist Yvonne Nwosu, and he again said they had parted ways because she was also a busy person. It appears Ice Prince is into Yvonnes. So there you have it! Ice Prince and Yvonne Nelson dated! The rapper has cleared the air. We hope Miss Nelson will take a cue from Ice Prince and confirm if they indeed had a relationship.


From her fashion taste to trips abroad to producing her own movies to having her own boutique

From her fashion taste to trips abroad to producing her own movies to having her own boutique, Yvonne Nelson surely knows how to keep herself relevant in the showbiz industry.

And she makes sure to update her fans with pictures on her social media pages.

But another thing that keeps the actress in the headlines is her relationships. Remember when Yvonne Nelson was dating Nigerian singer Iyanya? Anytime a question on the status of their relationship was put to her, she would say they were just friends. It was only after the relationship had gone sour that she told her fans that Iyanya had actually been her boyfriend.

Soon after, she was constantly seen in public with Ice Prince, another Nigerian rapper. As you would have, people wanted to know if she had found consolation in Ice Prince. Surprisingly, she used the same “friendship” line again. She even went further with Ice Prince by featuring him in her movie House of Gold. This got people talking, but Yvonne never confirmed the status of their friendship.

Well, guess who let the cat out of the bag this time?  Ice Prince himself. The rapper has confirmed that the two had something going. He said the relationship didn’t last because Yvonne Nelson was such a busy person.

He said this to Olisa on The Truth: “It just didn’t work. She’s a very very busy person. She was busier than I was at the time.”


Kim Kardashian Defends Her Nude Photo Shoot

Kim’s post-baby body

Hollywood star Naya Rivera, talk show hostess Wendy Williams and several others criticised her for putting motherhood in a “negative light.” Defending herself, Kim says: “I did it for me. To each his own, as a role model I’m not saying anyone else should do that. I looked at it as an art project for me. This was going to make me feel confident and feel good and it taught me to do what you want to do. Everyone should do what they’re comfortable with. I’m never one to preach but I felt really positive and really good about myself. I loved the photos, I did it for me.”

Another question is: Did she have to share the nude pictures with the world? Confidence shouldn’t come from proving yourself to the world; it should come from knowing it to be true and believing in YOURSELF.

But fine, she decided to take these “artsy” pictures. Did she really have to show her frontal parts? And so what that she has her banging body back. Why should we care?


After failing in her attempt to break the Internet with her nude pictures and suffering public humiliation in the process

After failing in her attempt to break the Internet with her nude pictures and suffering public humiliation in the process, Kim Kardashian has come out to defend herself.

She says she bared it all to feel confident after giving birth to North West. “I looked back at a clip of Keeping Up with the Kardashians last season and I was really heavily pregnant, I was about eight months pregnant, and I looked at my sisters and said, ‘You guys, when I feel like I have my body back, I’m doing a nude shoot.’ For me, when I got the opportunity to work with the photographer Jean-Paul Goude, I was so honoured and excited to work with him and for me that was something I knew I wanted to do to make myself feel confident.”

But did she have to pose nude to prove to the world that she’s got her pre-baby body back? After all, we’ve seen enough bikini pictures of Kim K since she gave birth to know for sure.

A man, Ge Yifeng has been arrested after admitting to killing his wife in China.

Ge Yifeng and his wife, Chen, both 24, got married recently but Chen chose to live with her parents in Huangcun, County, Anhui. Two months into their marriage, after series of disagreements and clashes, the couple got in an argument in the car which led to Ge stabbing his wife multiple times with a pair of scissors and also hitting her with a hammer.

The 24-year-old Ge Yifeng was arrested on charges of murder as it was also revealed that after killing his wife, he sent photos of her dead body to her family, friends and relatives to reveal the news of the death to them. After Yifeng killed Chen, he called her family and friends and told them what had happened. They did not believe him, so as evidence, he sent them photos of her body.

After surrendering to the police, Yifeng confessed to the crime, and said that he could not get along with his mother-in-law, who told him that he was not worthy of her daughter.

He added that he was extremely unhappy living with his wife’s family. Yifeng said that before they got married, they both agreed to move in together. However, after their wedding, she suddenly changed her mind and wanted to go to Beijing, to live with her family.

Happy Birthday Davido

Love him, hate him, be indifferent about him… history will never go down without the mention of David Adeleke once the topic of music and entertainment is raised. Too many things (or perhaps a few), make Davido a special breed of celebrity. He was born into a life of comfort and while he constantly comes off as one who’s has had everything handed to him on a gold platter, Davido has gone on to pushing himself through limits that were set for him. With sheer dedication and a dint of hardwork (some of us prefer the word ‘relentlessness’), the young lad worked his way up the ladder rungs of the industry and took the deserving, although self-acclaimed title of ‘Omo Baba Olowo’. There was actually nobody else best suited.

Today, he turns 22! And reminiscing on the past, this is certainly a milestone worth celebrating (if you ask me… given his track record of awards and global recognition attained this year alone). Davido has become an inspiration in ways we may have never acknowledged. Time may not allow us begin to count but we obviously can’t miss the many faces he’s put smiles on and how he’s made us dance, forgetting our worries. For us, that’s good reason enough to celebrate him.



Emmanuel Adebayor Neglects His Mom Because He Believes She Is A "Witch"!  Share on Facebook Share on Twitter

It seems somewhat crazy to me that someone of Emmanuel Adebayor’s standing would truly believe that his mom and siblings are plotting ‘juju’ against him, but that’s the drama that unfolded on Peace FM this morning.

Relatives of the Tottenham Hotspur forward, who just yesterday lined up for Togo against his adopted country, called into Peace FM this morning with some pretty wild allegations of neglect against the lanky forward.

They included two of his sisters; Margaret and Lucia Adebayor.

According to the two the Togo captain has neglected them, along with their mother, for the past six years. They have kept it quiet but are now fed up to the extent that they feel that they must tell their story to the public.

“For the past six years Adebayor has rejected his mother and his immediate family whilst doing charity outside on the premise that our mother is a witch.

“We have been thinking of his future as a footballer and did not want this issue out in the media but it is becoming too much.” Margaret, the elder sister, told the Accra based radio station.

Margaret went on to say Adebayor ordered his ‘machomen’ to sack his mom and siblings from his house in Togo, claiming his mom is a witch. She said their mom remains distraught over the issue and Adebayor never picks their calls.

“For the past six years he has abandoned his responsibilities towards the family and does charity work instead. But as far as I know charity begins at home.” She added emphatically.

The Togolese forward was contacted for his side of the story, and he confirmed his issues with his family, as well as his firm belief that they were plotting against him with ‘juju’.

“I never sacked my mom from the house, she decided to leave the house… But how am I going to be in touch with my mum if my mum is the one telling everyone that my work will not go forward?”

“They should stop talking talking, they should stop doing juju on me; they should leave me alone”

“Ask my sister Margaret whether I did not build them a house in East Legon, and what happened to it? I bought my younger sister Lucia a car worth $ 35,000, where is it?”

I am a little bit surprised by this news, as his sister raises a valid point about charity beginning at home. I am even more surprised that Adebayor is certainly convinced that they are plotting ‘juju’ against him, and that is the main reason for his aloofness towards them.

You would think he would be more upset about the extravagance he hinted at in relation to the house and car, but as most Africans he has gone straight to allegations of witchcraft. I don’t think in this day and age that is a valid reason for someone to neglect their mom, particular someone with the resources and fame available to Emmanuel Sheyi Adebayor.


Jim Iyke Finally Opens Up On The State Of His Relationship With Nadia Buari

If you were asked why you love your partner, what would you say?

If you were asked why you love your partner, what would you say?

Certainly there are qualities we all look for in a potential partner.  Relationships, we all know, don’t come easy. But in the end, what matters most is perhaps understanding and the ability to be patient with each other.

After months of speculation that the two had broken up, Nollywood bad boy actor Jim Iyke finally opened up on the state of his relationship with Ghanaian actress Nadia Buari and why he is so much into her. During an interview, he confirmed that the two long-time sweethearts are still together and still very much in love.

“Nadia is a solid, down-to earth woman,” Jim said. “I’m a man that translates variables in ways many people find incomprehensible. We have embraced who we are and learnt to create our own world and expectations.

“We have ups and downs like every other couple. We have our strength and weakness as well. At the end of the day, rumours of break ups and make-ups ought to abound. It really doesn’t matter. A relationship is a continuous work. Those that give up were perhaps not committed enough.

“Those that go in for the long haul suck up and square up to the variables life throws at them. The people that judge harshly are obviously the ones that live far from their desired lives. We just live the best way we know how and leave the rest to the author and finisher of all things.”

Jim Iyke proposed to Nadia Buari on his reality show “Jim Iyke Unscripted” last July. Rumours later abounded that the acting power couple had called off the relationship. Some even suggested that the proposal had just been...well, scripted. But pictures on social media seemed to confirm that they were still a couple, and in this latest interview, Jim leaves no doubt.

But that is Jim’s side of the relationship.  Now, we’d love to hear from Nadia on her side. During an interview at the premiere of her movie The Diary Of Imogen Brown, she referred to Jim as Mr. Iyke. This got people asking the question why she would refer to  her boyfriend as Mr. Iyke?  This seems to be nothing more than people reading too much into nothing at all, especially the Entertainment press constantly sniffing around for any sign of something new to report on the lives of celebrities.

Relationships are hard, especially when they involve people who are constantly in the public eye. One rule, however, applies regardless of who is involved: it takes commitment from two people to have a great relationship. Instead of gossiping about if Jim Iyke and Nadia Buari had called off their engagement, perhaps we should have been learning something from the example they set.

We wish Jim Iyke and Nadia Buari all the best.

The actress was spotted last weekend, November 15, at the 4syte Music Video awards with another man. She was put on the spot by Bola Ray, the MC for the night. Whilst Miss Nelson was presenting an award, Bola Ray asked her about the guy she came with. And guess what she said? She didn’t say a thing. So does that tell us something that she didn’t say he’s “just a friend”? When asked, the guy gave his name as John. All he could reveal was that he came to the show with Yvonne Nelson. But another thing to take note of is the fact the guy is not Ghanaian. He is an Ivorian. Hmmmmm  for all the Ghanaian guys out there who are interested in the screen goddess, just forget it. Her taste for foreign “goods” is way over the top. From Iyanya to Ice Prince to……. Even though she didn’t say anything as to whether she was going out with John (the Ivorian), her silence is rather making us think otherwise. You know she is always quiet on her relationships, especially when she’s seen in public with a guy. Well, there is nothing wrong with having different tastes when it comes to choosing a partner as long as you are satisfied with what you see in that person. Perhaps her choice is accidental; maybe it’s never been her intention to date only foreigners, but the fact that she is always travelling probably plays a major role in the type of guys she meets. But whatever the situation, it’s Yvonne’s life. Do whatever rocks your boat, Yvonne!
