Tboss Has Finally Explained What Really Happened Between Her And Kemen

Olufemi David Unknown - Monday, March 06, 2017

Tboss has now explained what really happened to her fellow house mates.
Recall that on Saturday, March 4, 2017, a video of Kemen touching TBoss while she slept went viral.
Following the incident, Big Brother had a private disciplinary session with Kemen and Tboss and reached a verdict – Kemen been disqualified as a contestant on the show.
“You have been found guilty of violating the Big Brother rules. You’re hereby disqualified from the Big Brother house immediately,” Biggie announced.
His fellow housemates who were not aware of the incident, received the verdict with shock and screams of “what happened? What did you do?”
After the yesterday’s live show, it was obvious in the house that all of them now hated Tboss because they didn’t know the real story, they only heard Kemen’s side of the story. But that changed yesterday night when Tboss finally told them what really went down.
The housemates all felt guilty for wrongly judging Tboss and all went to the closet to apologize to her.
Read all she said below:
“Can i say something? Apology not accepted. For especially Marvis and Tony. Like’ y’all don’t even talk to me at all.” Thin Tall the asked; ‘why especially Marvis and Tony?’
She continued: “Because i was really close to you guys and i felt the hostility from you and the seclusion, none of you even bothered asking ‘What happened?’. Obviously he(Kemen) said something which i didn’t hear, trust me i didn’t even want to listen, but you should have been like Tboss, what happened, but nobody cared.
“I don’t know what happened. I am sad, i don’t know if i’m mostly upset, but i’m sad. I didn’t have a clue, i was sleeping, this evening big brother called me, went into the diary room and i see this laptop there, and immediately i started thinking maybe my family called or a message from home or something, i was freaking out.. is it good news, is it bad news, Big brother asked if i was okay, i said naah this laptop is scaring me, What’s happening.?
“He said calm down, play it. And i play it and i just broke down He (Kemen) was sleeping, he just woke up looked around..(demonstrates kemen puttin his hands down her pants) and i just saw the hand moving, and me i just turned around and the hand was still moving. I don’t know what happened. And big brother already saw my reaction, and he asked ‘Did you consent to that?. It’s obvious i had no idea about this. And there i’m thinking ‘My Father’. Is that what he should be seeing? It looks like i was being fingered.
“And funny thing is i had no idea, from one drink and i space out like that? What the F**k.”
She also said she never led him on, and didn’t gravitate towards him, so she was surprised at what he did.
She continued: “I reacted very badly in there (Diary room) and Big brother was like ‘you cannot confront him, you cannot say anything, you cannot touch him.. and i was like i am going to punch him, i am going to f**king punch him.. and big brother said; you’re going to get kicked off the show. Let it not be because you couldn’t hold yourself, You cannot touch him, you have to promise. And i was like, what kind of promise is that.
“And i was just thinking, what else happened? who would have seen it? and i felt bad”

Baddest!! Checkout Mikel Obi’s Net Worth, Houses & Cars (Photos)

Olufemi David OLUFEMI DAVID - Wednesday, February 22, 2017

There are a lot of extremely rich people in Nigeria. Most of them are businessmen or celebrities. But this person is a sportsman.
How did he manage to get into the list of the richest Nigerians? What is Mikel Obi’s net worth?

Mikel Obi’s net worth

In 2017, Mikel Obi was called one of the richest Nigerian footballers. His net worth was more than $25 million. His annual salary is about $6 million.
What is Mikel Obi’s weekly salary? He hasn’t told yet, but, we suppose, it is possible to count it. The rumors say it is about $110, 000.
John Michael Nchekwube Obinna is mostly known as John Mikel Obi, sometimes John Obi Mikel or, maybe, Mikel John Obi. He is a successful Nigerian footballer who plays for famous English club Chelsea as a midfielder before heading to Tianjin TEDA in China.
He also plays for the Nigerian national team. John Obi Mikel not only makes a lot of cash playing football but also from his endorsements like Pepsi and Samsung.

None can break into his bank accounts. So Mikel Obi’s salary and net worth were figured out using a number of different sources, interviews, and websites.
However, there are still a few factors that can affect a celeb’s net worth, for example investment gains or even losses, taxes, management fees, marriage, porce and so on. Therefore, it is possible that his net worth or, for example, the salary statistics might not be 100% accurate.
Mikel Obi’s house

Working Chelsea for a lot of years, Mikel has managed to earn a lot of money. It let him buy a huge mansion in London. Mikel Obi’s house and car are really impressive… and expensive. He mostly lives there working for the club, but Mikel Obi also has real estate in some Nigerian regions, as Jos, Abuja, and Lagos.
Mikel Obi’s house in Lekki and Mikel Obi house in Jos have already become top news on the web. However, there are no proved pictures yet.
Mikel Obi’s cars

He also has extremely expensive cars such as, for example, Bentley Continental GT (it costs about N35m), expensive Mercedes G Wagon, luxurious Range Rover Sport, and Black Mercedes G 500. A dream ‘package’ of every man!

Keep Winning Obi

MOST OF MY SONGS ARE REVEALED TO ME IN MY DREAMS — MOADIAH

Olufemi David OLUFEMI DAVID - Saturday, February 18, 2017

New Nigerian singing sensation, MoAdiah, born Morenike Akiodu is a UK-based gospel and inspirational singer, ready to make her point in the Nigerian music scene. And she did it in a flamboyant way penultimate Friday at the Aquarium Lounge, Victoria Island, Lagos where she released her debut album titled ‘Free Love’ to the listening pleasure and delight of a select audience.
The graduate of Economics from the Birmingham University, UK, in this interview, she shares her journey into music with us. Excerpts:
How would you describe your evolution into music?
As a child I was very much into music. I probably wanted to do music from onset but you know, when you are growing up your parents will always have a course they want you to study in the university. So, I focused more on my academics. But when I saw an opportunity for me to start molding and building my passion which is music, I started doing that and molding it into shape. I have done that for years now. How long have you been in the music industry? Professionally, I have been doing music for four years now. I released my first album last year in UK. Before then, I was singing in church as a chorister. I have also been doing other things, you know, I live in the UK. This is my first album. What we are doing here today is more like a music evening.
What have the challenges been so far, breaking into the industry?
My parents are very supportive of anything I do. But you know as parents they always want the best for you. The challenges are more of trying to develop my own style, and trying to appreciate your own uniqueness sometimes could be very challenging. I am a gospel artiste doing something in the lounge, it is not usual. Those kinds of things can be challenging. I appreciate the challenges.
Why did you choose a lounge for your album launch?
That is what I do in the UK and for me, I want my music to be assessable to everybody and a blessing to everyone. Sometimes, I do things in churches too. I play my music at different settings where anyone can understand my journey, story and what my relationship with God has done to me. Hopefully, by that they will be blessed.
What stands you out, what’s unique about your music style?
I think my sound is a bit more urban, it is more like soul-like. So for me, it is a music you can worship with unlike other gospel music. They are what I call life music; it is about my journey, encounter and so many other things. I also want to tell people that you can use the talent God has given you to help the world. I never taught I would be able to record an album or do most of the things I have done.
How do you mean; you never thought of having an album?
It just evolved; it is not only music that I do. I also work in an industrial bank in the UK. So, that didn’t really give me enough time but I have been able to manage the time well. There are other things that I do.
So, the album just evolved. So, have you dropped banking for music?
No, I am doing both of them for now. I think part of my ability that has helped me to manage both of them is the skills I learnt in music and that have helped me in my day-to-day job.
What is the titled of your album?
The album is titled, The Music in Me Volume 1, Free. The Free is like the title of the album. There will be The Music in me Volume 2 and it will be tagged something else .
What inspires your songs?
I would say God. I was toying with the name for a while but that was what eventually came to me. I wrote most of my songs and most of my songs are revealed to me in my dreams. When they come to me, I will wake up and record them, then go back to sleep again. Some of my songs are like everyday life happenings. What they talk about is like prayer to God. My songs passed a lot of messages.
Are there plans of relocating to Nigeria?
You never can tell. I try to do what is mine, I am open to anything. I try to move in the direction God wants me to.
Why do you think gospel artistes don’t get cooperate endorsements?
When it is gospel music people relate it to religion and they think it is not open to everybody. On the other hand, I don’t know what works here because I am not living here.
What should your fans expect from you in a couple of months?
More music and this show is part of my tour. I am kicking off from here and I am going to different places in different other countries. I will be releasing more music towards the end of the year, and will also be promoting these songs.
How soon are you getting married? Very soon by God’s grace, God is working on it. There are so many good characters my ideal man must possess but the most important is that, he must be a God-fearing man. I think marriage for me is all about purpose.

OMG don’t tell me this is where Simi makes all that beautiful music

Olufemi David OLUFEMI DAVID - Thursday, February 16, 2017

Just as the best things in life are free, so is music from a talented singer. This does’t need a bunch of autotuning to come out great.
Frequent Falz collaborator Simi just shared a photo of her home studio and we can’t help but marvel at the modesty of the whole setup. I can’t beleive that is where she makes all those hit songs.

Anyway, apart from being a great singer, Simi also has skills in audio mixing and mastering. She mixed and mastered both Adekunle Gold’s debut album ‘Gold’ and ‘Chemistry‘, her joint album with Falz.
That’s so much talent for one innocent looking lady.
