Dakore Egbuson and Olu Akande quote
You all know beautiful actress, Dakore Egbuson, has been in a sizzling romance with the only son of Nigerian Billionaire, Harry Akande? Well, the news going round now is that the parents do not approve of the relationship because of Dakore's chosen career. But the actress has described as untrue the tale that the parents of her fiance Olumide Akande, are not in support of the union. And are doing everything possible to continue to disunite them. Including threatening to disown their only son.
Hear Dakore
"I can confidently tell you there's no such thing. I am in love with him, and we are dating but right now there's no marriage plan btw us. We are just lovers."
Hear Olu Akande
"I want to tell you categorically that the story that my parents are against my girlfriend Dakore is not true. If the story did not come from my mum and dad, you should know it's not true. Their relationship is very cordial, solid. In fact, my parents love her. You see, Dakore is a private person. Even my dad. He will not like seeing his name on the pages of newspapers. Even me too, I don't like seeing my name on the pages of newspapers"
First off, Harry Akande is a politician.
First off, Harry Akande is a politician.
Olu Akande is dating a popular actress
And you don't want your names on the pages of newspapers? Sorry mate...you'll always be in the news.
Second off...if this story is true...should Dakore quit her acting career to marry the man she loves? Is it worth it at the end of the day?
Comedian, Klint d drunk, impregnates undergraduate
I don't like to write about celebs I know personally...like Klint...I feel a little guilty because this stories might not be true...but maybe this one is...here goes.According to rumour, Klint de drunk, who is making plans to marry his longtime girlfriend, Gillian, is neck deep in a controversial pregnancy mess. The pregnancy, which he is yet to accept is two months gone and the girl in question is one Chioma Okafor, a yr 3 Sociology undergraduate of the University of Nigeria. Chioma called the press and this is what she had told them.
Chioma Okafor"My pregnancy is about two months now and since then Klint has abandoned me. He has stop picking my calls" She went further to explain how they met, all the promises he made to her and how she fell pregnant. "I decided to keep the baby because everybody in my family is now aware, and they've been supportive"
Well, trust our Naija journalists. They called Kilnt and this is what he had to say.
Klint "I am not confirming or denying the story, but I know it's the plans of my enemies to affect my future and career and this is actually coming at a time I am planning to settle down."
First and foremost, a child is God's gift...how the hell is a child going to affect his future?
Secondly, if you're engaged to be married...why have unprotected sex with another woman?
Klint, no be your enemies...na your

Ben Bruce weds again
Seriously I don't know if this one is true, but the Nigerian press are claiming that Ben Murray Bruce has married his long time girlfriend and baby mama, Tina Vuckor Quarshie in a quiet traditional ceremony some weeks back. Hmmm, is this true, then I must say I'm really disappointed. Getting another woman pregnant while married is a shame, but marrying her on top of a loving, loyal wife of many years is just unfair. If you were Ben Bruce's wife, will you continue in the marriage?
Meanwhile, they say his son, Jonathan Murray Bruce, Ben's 20+ first son has taken over the running of Silverbird Galleria as the GM, upstaging Tina and reversing some of the decisions Tina took, while in charge. Some of the people laid off by the former banker, have been recalled by Jonathan. War in the family lol!
Michael Bolton on Nigeria
Michael Bolton was in Nigeria some weeks (Sept 28th, Civic Centre) back to perform to a select few who could afford 100grand per ticket and N1 or 2 million per VIP table. Nonsense to that! Anyway, here's what Michael had to say about Nigeria"This is actually my first time visiting Nigeria. It's a great country. I wouldn't have come if it's not great. I never knew you guys were so hospitable. You should keep it up. With the little I've seen, I believe I have fans here. Great country"
Beautiful country...some crazy people. 100grand to go watch Michael Bolton? Seriously? And people paid? Shaking my head in wonder!

Overrated
Not my own words o...but enjoy!
Posh and Becks
Let's face it – he's an overpaid footballer who doesn’t play that much, and she's an assortment of body parts that can't dent the charts on her own. And yet the world seems fascinated by what they'll do next, which is usually a combination of looking intellectually challenged, sporting "fashion" or peddling perfume, none of which is particularly newsworthy. But who and what else should we hear less about?

Adam Sandler
Sandler has a (lack-of) talent for playing a variety of characters throughout his unfortunately successful career, ranging from the inept fool in Happy Gilmore, the inept fool in Mr Deeds and the inept fool in Big Daddy. When he does try something different, the change is refreshing but let's face it – anyone else could do a better job for example Jamie Foxx who replaced Sandler as the taxi-driver in Collateral.
Genesis
Genesis are a terrible band of biblical proportions. Yhey have recently reformed so we get to experience that terror once again, just when we thought it was safe to turn the radio back on. The majority of their concerts are epic lessons on annoying sound scapes, being pretentious and baffling the audience about how they got so far. While Peter Gabriel emerged relatively unscathed, Genesis was the springboard that launched Phil Collins' career – the man with more Oscars than Johnny Depp.

Golf
Golf is a ridiculous sport, and no matter how many people watch or play it, it’s a lonely man's game. The only competition is yourself - it's not like the players actually interact with each other. No, that would too interesting. Instead, golf showcases silly men with too much time on their hands who dress like 1920s teddy bears to hit a tiny ball into a tiny hole hundreds of yards away, in complete silence. The only worthwhile spawn of golf is 'Caddyshack'.

Faith healing
It's a miracle! Actually, it's an over the top hoax targeted primarily at the gullible south of America. With just one touch of the hand, any ex-used car salesman/faith healer can make the blind see, the legless walk and the hundreds of happy-clappy church goers shout "Praise the Lord!" without realising that they're getting conned on live TV. If their suspiciously lucrative over-the-top antics with 'randoms in the crowd' are true why haven't they used these mighty money swindling powers to abolish golf?

Billy Corgan
Billy Corgan has single-handedly ruined what was a good band (The Smashing Pumpkins) with his complete inability to sing, dance, write worthwhile poetry or be a decent front-man in any shape or form. It's not that he can't play guitar or write music well, it's just that he sabotages any glimmer of talent that he may have had by opening his mouth in front of a microphone. Only then do you realise that there's a stoned, wounded and mentally challenged cat screaming to get out.

Dogs that wear clothesLook at that poor guy. There should be laws that require anyone who dresses their pets to be sentenced to wear the same clothes in public, and let their dogs walk them to wherever they want to go. Unfortunately crimes like this against man's best friend have been going unpunished for quite some time. These people should be warned that dogs have fur, and don't need to be adorned with novelty nonsense like this.
Custom carsThey think that their pimped up rides are great to look at, but let's face it – these people are a menace to society. Half the time they'll take a perfectly good car and destroy it by putting a swimming pool in the back or some other "essential" feature. The other half of the time, these children will think that sprucing up a Fiat Panda by adding a spoiler and a loud exhaust will gain them instant sex appeal. Either way it's a showboating waste of money.
Cupcakes
Cupcakes are a waste of time too, even to look at. They have almost as many calories as a Big Mac and don't fill you up at all, and they're so out of scale they're infantilizing. It feels like they were invented by snobbish elves who want to curse the world into eating novelty cakes in a desperate attempt to abolish the fork. Same goes for the miniature pork pie!
Brad Pitt
Brad Pitt has his moments of being a good actor such as in Twelve Monkeys and Babel, but most of the time he's a cheese-bucket coasting by on his good looks and by doing whatever his girlfriends say. Let's reflect on Brad's lack of spine/interchangeable personality: When he was dating Gwyneth Paltrow he was "the trendy guy partying in Soho", with Jennifer Aniston he was "the guy next door" and when he's dragging his feet behind Angelina Jolie he's the "goon with the silly hats, playing with his plethora of mixed-raced kids, casually ranting politics and humanity when all he should be doing is taking his shirt off". And he dresses like a clown too.
Ok, that's all folks. See y'all later. Cheers
