Super Eagles Striker Osaze Odemwingie has called for peaceful resolution of the ongoing fuel subsidy removal crisis in Nigeria. The West Brom striker, apparently worried by the news of protests and strife in his home country, appealed to both the government- who recently removed subsidy on petrol and increased the pump price by over 100 percent- and the Nigeria Labour Congress the body spearheading the protests to settle the matter.
He tweeted saying:
“Praying for the problem of fuel-increase to be sorted in a peaceful manner. Think both our government and the people should meet in the middle”. The Goal poacher proposed.
Star actresses, Genevieve Nnaji & Stephanie Okereke spent a good part of last night tweeting at each other about how they had fun in the week, and how they can't believe the press could suggest they were enemies. They even shared the above pictures of their time out together.
My predictions were right, I told you the drama wasn't over. Ini Edo finally replied the cheating allegations by Rita Domnic and Enconium writter, Stella. If you missed the drama, click HERE.
No matter what she does I'm still team Dencia, if only we had a few more Dencias in Nigeria, blogging would be much more fun, the girl has a way of staying in the news.
That1960Chick (Celebrity blogger) and Toni Tones (Vanguard Allure's respected photographer/ fashion blogger) were caught in this tweet fight with @FutureFforward (who I assume is Dencia's business partner). I posted a picture of Dencia's Bentley as her manager claims it is, this sparked controversy on a number of social networking sites, many believe she just stood by a parked bentley while others insist she is a high class runs girl, a few others went with the simple phrase "I'm happy for her".
What's your take? Is this just a publicity stunt OR is the 22years old really living the life? Don't forget to read the tweets from bottom to top
The above picture of actress Rukky Sanda caused a lot of twitter noise as her followers raised speculations that she has had some surgical work on her face. In reply to twitter users who made these speculations, the actress was quick to insult them by tweeting
"Awon-Olofofo... Ice Prince&Wiz has Sang A Song 4 u... I'm Singn it 4 yal too»»☑☃- chock on some hater raid. Hehee* ☇"|MA BA|| T|L | DROP"-☺" "#AwonAye'sSayn-IGotWorkDone Av had Blepharoplasty, Lifts, Mentoplasty, Otoplasty, Rhinoplasty, Rhytidectomy. #AwonOde. Lol!Visit Dr.Ray o*"
This looks like a case of 'make up gone wrong', what do you think? Has she had surgical work on her face?
When twitter goes wrong. The latest tweet fight was between respected rapper, MI Abaga and the self proclaimed Akpako master, Terry G.
Click READ MORE for the full gist It all started when MI randomly tweeted:-
"Pls.. What does akpako mean?" "So apparently.. Terry G alone understands the deep mysteries of akpako.."
Guess Terry G didn't find the question funny, he replied in the most unexpected way by tweeting
"@MI_Abaga Africa DanGba nomba 1,short dwarf,u 4 try ask me naaa,wat do u fink,chop chicken!!" "Anybody who doesn't wish U well,tell dem "CHOP CHICKEN nd die"
No doubt this sparked twitter attention on both artists, MI decided to take the high road by ensuring things don't get out of hand, hence apologised in a tweet
"MI_Abaga: @Fagsam I didn't mean any disrespect... I really didn't know what 'akpako' meant.. And then everyone was like terry g terry g.. MI_Abaga: If @Terrygzus is actually terry g's account then I apologize.. I meant no harm.. Someone said akpako to me and I had never heard it before MI_Abaga: So when I tweeted about what it meant.. I was surprised that everyone kept saying 'ask terry g'.. Hence my comment..I have nothing but the utmost artistic and personal respect for Terry G..."
But again TerryG's reply was unexpected
"Terrygzus: @MI_Abaga next time dn't try use me getmore ffs ok? I know ur games but don't 4get dat amfully representing d streets,C u Soon,DANGBA.!!"
In Nigeria anything is possible, EME boss/ singer Banky W aka Mr Capable paid for a meal but got a dancing cockroach with it,. He tweeted about this and also shared his experience with a dancing rat lol...
Well Mr Capable sent the meal back for a refund, even with all the competition in the food industry, can't believe the standards are still not high enough, especially for those over priced eateries on the island.
Some days back, Banky W’s manager, Segun Demuren tweeted about how the singers Banky W and Wizkid (who's under Banky's E.M.E record) were mobbed by hundreds of excited fans at Wizkid's dad's party in Surulere, and sadly Wizkid was unable to spend more time with his father.
According to Segun;
“Sunday was special. It was Wizkid’s father’s 70th birthday, in Surulere, Shitta Bey area. We thought we had come prepared, but we were wrong.”
“Banky W and I arrived around 6am; the plan was to stay for an hour. We called Wizkid, thinking he would be partying with his Dad, but little did we know that Wizkid was sitting in a car surrounded by a lot of people. He had been in the car since 2pm, at his own Father’s 70th gig. I couldn’t believe it.”
“So we got him out and walked into the event (at a school playground by the way), so he could sit with his father. Big mistake.”
“In less than 15 seconds, the canopy is swamped, there are 200 phones in the air taking pictures, and the crowd is overwhelming the security.”
“the MC is announces that everyone should sit down Nothing. Wizkid’s mum makes it through; but she’s scared and wants to go home.”
“Security only come to this tent, but leaving the main gate open, area boys then walked in saying “Wizzy, Wiz, Baba Wizzo.”
“It was no longer safe, and we had to go”. We greeted Wizkid’s dad & made our way to our vehicle, but there were at at least 150 people surrounding it.”
“So the security guys carry Wizkid, with one managing to open the door, bundling Wizkid and Banky W into it. I managed to squeeze in, but my clothes got stuck in the door.”
“I looked at Banky W, I looked at Wizkid and I felt completely sorry for the guys. I asked if this was how it always happened & they said that this was nothing.”
“On getting back to Wizkid’s fathers house, it was a bit quieter, I looked at a kid who was kid bb’ing, loosely surrounded by four hefty guys. He seemed alone.”
“It was his father’s 70th birthday & he couldn’t event attend it, because his name is Wizkid.”
The Beri Beri Singer Reprudencia and socialite/ business woman, Liz Gavy fought dirty at the Headies last weekend. Dencia is one who is sometimes described as an attention seeking upcoming artist, while Liz on the other hand is most times described as a 'High Class Lagos man hunter' (whatever that means).
Apparently, Liz got liposuction last year in California, and during that period, Dencia who was US based homed her and a friend but before leaving the duo chose to steal her passport, money, clothes & other properties. Things flared up recently when Dencia recognized a friend of Liz, Blossom Nyepon in a picture rocking her top, she went to Twitter, to call out Blossom, who got irritated and gave Liz a piece of her mind. She tweeted ...
Well Liz being a typical naija babe seems more into physical fights than twitter fight, it's alleged that she attacked Dencia back stage of the Headies, and things got really messy. Its been a few days since the incident, and Liz has given us her side of the story as published by Nigeriafilms. Click READ MORE to read it ...
"I met Reprudencia on via facebook back in 2008, she was the one who contacted me requesting to be my friend and I considered adding her because we shared common friends. She further introduced herself as a fashionista and expressed her willingness to help me get bargains from US stores -- to which I was receptive initially. However, I figured that it would be better, instead, that I travel to the US and have her take me around to the various stores for her purported bargains. Then in september 2010, I was ready to open my Ikoyi and Surulere outlets and decided to take a trip to the UK and US to stock-up the new stores. While in the UK, during one a chat with Reprudencia, she started trying to sell me some skin whitening injections and pills, and claimed to be an agent for plastic surgeons incase I wanted to undergo a surgical procedure to help me shed my body "FAT". I told her I wasnt interested in bleaching my skin (incidentally, it's evident she is bleaching her own skin, has silicon/fake boobs, and has undergone a nose-job), but the friend I was staying with (Joy) said she was interested and I passed the phone for them to talk and they both agreed to do business.The next day Joy sent $2000 to Reprudencia and was assured that the package would be ready by the time I arrived Los Angeles.
Upon my arrival in L.A, I contacted Reprudencia to inform her I was lodged in a hotel in town and was ready to be taken to the stores she'd mentioned earlier for the bargains. Little did I know that I was setting myself up to be duped. She insisted that I come stay over at her new apartment to which I obliged. She also asked that I please loan her some money to help purchase some things for her new apartment, to which I also obliged.Immediately I moved in with her she introduced me to a website, purportedly belonging to her friend, who sold trendy sunglasses and persuaded me to purchase her friend's wares, to which I [again] obliged. After a week of staying with her I realized everything she had told me on facebook and via blackberry were all lies; she had no car,no house,absolutely nothing and no job.I rented the car she drove around,I paid for the bed i slept on, infact I paid for everything from groceries to the clothes she picked while I was shopping for my business.
Shortly afterwards, my friend Blossom who was based in Montreal, Canada came over to L.A to join me as we had earlier planned to meet in L.A. Reprudencia kept making excuses upon excuses on why Joy's package was yet to arrive and had no forthcoming response when asked about the sunshades I'd ordered from her friend. She later introduced Blossom and I to a plastic surgeon friend who tried to talk us into undergoing an $18k worth liposuction surgical procedure to which we flatly declined -- only to later find out that she was trying to lure us into paying for a free plastic surgery procedure for herself based on an agreement she has with the surgeon due to her being his 'AGENT'. She even tried talking me into getting a fake social security card in order to get an American credit card to which I also declined because I already had an internationally accepted credit card from Nigeria. She went as far as stealing my card and going on a shopping spree without my knowledge to which I reported to my bank about her fraudulent transactions. She kept lying and making excuses about Joy's package, claiming the company she ordered the injections from had delivered the package while we were out and therefore took it back. In response, I asked to see proof of the order, e.g an online receipt or a creditcard statement that shows the transaction, at that point she realized i had caught on so she sent an email from her laptop to the fictitious company, and then replied herself via her blackberry. She seemed to have forgotten that her blackberry had a signature -- at the end of the so-called reply sent by the company, there was her name and an indication that it was sent from her bb. It was all a SCAM. It then dawned on me she never ordered or paid for any skin whitening injections or pills for Joy to begin with furthermore I realised that she had gone to her friend who owned the website I ordered the Sunglasses to collect the payment I made for the Sunglasses.
By then I'd had enough and confronted her about her scams and dubious schemes, expectedly she denied any wrongdoing and flared-up. She even threatened to call the police to throw me out. It took the efforts of friends who witnessed the confrontation to calm her down. Consequently, I called a cab and left her apartment for a hotel. She left her apartment before the cab arrived. I waited at the hotel for a whole week to see if the injections she claimed to have ordered for Joy would indeed arrive, to no avail and I lost money for the Sunshades to her as well. At that point, Joy was understandably very upset and was holding me responsible for everything because I introduced her to Reprun..whatever
When she got home and realized Blossom and I had left, she started accusing me of stealing her shoe and clothes,that sounded ridiculous because:
1. She is a size uk 4 while Blossom and I are size 12's.
2. Was I going to sell used clothes in my shops?
3. The shoe she claimed I stole is a Gianmarco Lorenzi immitation/fake she bought for $130 ,I sell these shoes.
4. She had told me her sister siezed her passport cause she was 'traveling too much instead of going to school'...she must have been lying so I wouldn't know all the so called trips she claimed to have made were untrue. Only for her to send me a mail 3 months later claiming she couldnt find her passport and she was sure I must have taken it. Reprun..whatever is a full blooded cameroonian citizen on a USA student visa (though she claims to be 'half-Nigerian'), so what on earth would I want to do with a Cameroonian passport? I dont speak french and I dont want to live in Cameroon( I am PROUDLY NIGERIAN), I have a multiple USA visa so I couldnt get my head around the accusation.
Repru-whatever IS LIVING A CHAMPAGNE LIFE ON A PALMWINE INCOME and projecting a false impression that life is greener on the other side on FACEBOOK. Early this year I reported her to the police which I also have a proof for.I have documented proof of her scams; E-mail exchanges and chats between her and I, Police report, as well as proof that she swindled an Italian friend last year.
She claims to have a warrant for my arrest; I have been going to and fro the USA for several months now (most recently 2-months ago) and have not been harrassed even once on account of any so-called warrant. She also claims to have video evidence of my theft of her things while in her apartment, I am now challenging her to produce the so-called evidence or forever hold her peace.
I own three shops in Lagos (VGC, IKOYI, and SURULERE). I have no partners, so I wonder how on earth I would even remotely consider stealing from a fake, wanna-be celebrity, attention seeking tramp like Repru-whatever . She is greedy, dubious and desperate,as the following video further proves:All of the aformentioned culminated in the incident that occured at the just concluded HEADIES 2011 awards. Upon her arrival in Nigeria for the awards event, Repru-whatever started sending me threatening text messages and challenging me to do my worst inspite of all she did to me. I guess the she has seen a slight taste of that."
A commenters question to Liz is ...
"If you never saw her passport, how do you know she's Cameroonian on a student visa? Why did you invite Blossom to stay in Dencia's house too if you had to buy a bed to sleep on? Why didn't you dispute the charges on your credit card for the sunglasses that never arrived? You'd get your money back. Where's the proof of what you're saying since you have it, why not just attach it to the story one time?"
Guess we'll never know what to believe or what really happened. Anyway check out this funny video of Dencia that just surfaced online, it's uncertain if she knew she was being filmed.
