Olufemi David OLUFEMI DAVID - Monday, October 03, 2016

Fashion entrepreneur and business woman Victoria Beckham, 42, has finally addressed rumours making the rounds that she has boosted her already spinach-heavy diet with "broccoli and leafy greens rich in folic acid" so she can get pregnant and deliver baby number 5...

David Beckham, 41, told chat show host Jonathan Ross in 2012:

"We might have one more or two more, you never know. We're not thinking about it yet, but if it happens, great. We're enjoying the kids as it is. It's always a thought.

"I mean, we're busy people and we’re enjoying the four kids that we've got already and we're lucky, we're lucky to have four healthy children."

But former Spice Girls member, Victoria Beckham has now addressed the rumours saying she doesn't want anymore children.

Speaking to Sunday Times Style Magazine, Victoria said "No! I am done. People have been obsessed with it - she's getting divorced, she's pregnant, she's getting divorced, she's pregnant - ever since I met David."

David and Victoria have 4 sweet kids which includes sons Brooklyn, 17, Romeo, 13, Cruz, 11, and four-year-old daughter Harper.

I learnt English by listening to radio - Sunmi Smart Cole

Olufemi David OLUFEMI DAVID - Monday, September 26, 2016

Award-winning photographer, Sunmi Smart-Cole, who is 75 today, talks about his life and numerous interests

When do you remember about your boyhood?
I remember my boyhood as a time when I was unhappy because I wanted to go to school but I couldn’t. My schooling stopped at 14. Although I passed entrance examinations into Kings College, Stella Maris which is a Catholic school in Port Harcourt and Baptist High School, there was no money to fund my education and I could not get a scholarship. Instead, the bishop of our church said I should be given a job as a teacher. So from the age of 15, I taught till I was 17. I then became an apprentice to a draughtsman.

You did not have a privileged background…
There was no money and my mother was a dressmaker. Some people think I had a silver spoon-upbringing, maybe because of the way I carry myself or the way I live. I love to live decently but I am not rich. Compared to many people, I consider myself extremely blessed that at this time in my life, I have a roof over my head.

Since you did not have a formal education, how did you learn to read and speak the English Language?
I didn’t have a formal education but I’m self-educated. After standard six, I used to go to where second-hand clothing were being sold to buy second-hand books and magazines like Time Magazine ,
National Geographic , Readers’ Digest and News Week. I managed to read a newspaper everyday and I also read the Bible three times not for religious purposes but because I was searching for new words. I learnt to pronounce words by getting up every morning to listen to the BBC World Service. I listened to broadcasters like Sam Nwaneri, Ralph Opara, Segun Olusola, Christopher Kolade, and one Mr. Johnson in Ibadan. These men were trained by the BBC .

Growing up, what was your dream career?
Since I like to work with my hands, I chose draughtsmanship. Don’t forget that before the real architects with degrees came around, most of the houses in Yaba and Lagos Island were designed by draughtsmen. I designed the country home of the then Prime Minister of Sierra Leone, Sir Albert Margai, in his village, Gbamgbatoke. I was an architectural assistant with Construction and Design Ltd., Freetown. The most interesting house I designed was for Pete Myers, a BBC presenter on Good Morning Africa .

Why did you not continue to practise architecture?
All of the people who could employ me as a draughtsman thought that I must have attended maybe Yaba College of Technology or Ibadan because they had such schools in Enugu, Ibadan and Lagos. Then, I already liked dressing well.
A company called Nixon &Boris in Lagos and owned by a British and a German, saw my drawing. They liked my work and gave me a job without a certificate. A month later, they asked for my certificate and I told them that I didn’t have any. They asked me to go because at the time, all they wanted was a piece of paper. I was very bitter.
I saw Mr. Steve Rhodes and I explained my plight to him. He gave me a job as an artiste and road manager with his company,
RhodeSoundVision. My salary was £20 a month but I had a big office and for the first time an air conditioner. I did not have that at my home. What I had was a table fan and not even a standing fan. The company was managing the like of Fela Ransome-Kuti, Victor Uwaifo and Sonny Okosuns.

How did you learn to play the percussion?
There’s something a lot of people don’t know. Because of my training as a draughtsman, I used to design Fela’s flyers and posters by hand when he returned to Nigeria from England in 1962. I would paste them on trees inviting people to come to listen to Fela’s jazz group which was called the Fela Ransome-Kuti Quintet. At the time, I played the konga drums and other percussive instruments plus the wooden drums. Much later, Fela’s drummer left him. He had an assignment and he had to convert John Okoh, who was a highlife drummer to a jazz drummer. While Fela taught him and his band new techniques, I listened and that was how I learnt how to play.

Did you go into music full-time?
I had been adjudged one of the best drummers in Nigeria and I was a founding father of the soul and jazz group, The Soul Assembly, reputed for popularising African-American Soul Music in Nigeria. Notwithstanding, I have never played music professionally and I have never being paid to perform. I have never liked the lifestyle of many musicians. Some of them go to work almost every night. It is not an easy thing to jump around and perform. They then get very tired and that is why singers like Michael Jackson and Prince had to die because they were taking “lift me uppers.”

For how long did you work with Steve Rhodes?
Mike James, Nelson Cole, Segun Bucknor and I formed our own musical group and named it Soul Assembly. Steve Rhodes refused to manage our group, so I went to a nightclub called Maharani. I told the owner of the nightclub about our group and he said we should come for a one-hour audition on a Friday night.
After that first performance, a trumpeter called Agu Norris came to our office and was yelling, “Steve, your boys were great.” The man assumed that since Steve was in the business of putting bands in nightclubs, he must have put us at Maharani. I went to buy sausage roll and when I returned, I saw a letter terminating my appointment. I was sacked for conflict of interest. I ran to the home of Dr. Oladipo Maja to meet with his son, Kunle. I was bitter. That was when I spoke to a friend Niyi Soyode, who asked me to come to see his father. I met with his father and he gave me £20 with which I opened a barbershop. He gave me another £20 three months later. Within the six months that I was out of job, Fela made sure I had a meal with him every day. I ran the barber shop for four years and it was a cultural centre. People came there to read foreign newspapers and magazines because during the civil war, luxury items like foreign publications and butter were banned. The ban was lifted after the war in 1970. They also came there to listen to jazz, soul and classical music. On Friday and Saturday evenings, people came there to find out where parties were being held on weekends.

What spurred your interest in photography?
I shut down the barber shop in 1972 and I migrated to the United States, where I worked with VIDAR Corporation as an architectural drafter and technical illustrator. I needed something that I could use to express myself more and that is why I studied photography. I began my part-time study of photography in 1976, at Foothill College, California. I held my first exhibition at Stanford University’s Coffee House in 1978.

How did you get into journalism?
I used to accompany Ajibade Fashina-Thomas who was the pioneer Editor of The Punch to the stadium. I had a notebook and he would tell me to write down my observations. Later, he would review my report. Thereafter, I started contributing to either
Sunday Times or Lagos Weekend . I worked with The Punch and I was also at The Guardian where I became a managing editor supervising five publications.

Were you ever married?
I married an American who accompanied me to Nigeria. One day, she wanted to go out and all the cabs she hailed refused to stop. Instead they called her names like
asewo , a Yoruba word for prostitute, because she wore trousers. The word stuck and when I told her the meaning, she insisted on returning to the US. There was another time she sprained her ankle. She left and we did not have any children. When she got back to the US, she met someone she used to date before she married me.

Why didn’t you remarry?
I was going to marry the now deceased Remi Osholake, aka RemiLagos. She was sent by Nigerian Television Authority to interview me and we fell in love. It was a holiday job and Don Barber was the producer of the programme.

At 75, what are some of your high points?
I nearly fell out of a helicopter in-flight over Bonny NLNG. I was there to do some work and my co-passenger was trying to tell me what he could see. I unbuckled the seat belt, there was a jolt and I hit the roof with my head. I landed with my knee on the metal floor. I went for surgery in 2003 and my knee had to be replaced.
In 1986, a lorry hit my car at Cele Bus stop, Isolo, Lagos and I could have died. The third one was on a trip from Abuja to Zaria. I was in the convoy of a former first lady. The car I was in had a burst tyre and we were almost going under a trailer. The driver managed to regain control of the car. God showed me that He is alive and able.

What more do you want to achieve?
Some people say I am a man of many interests. Those are talents given to me by God. It is photography that I studied part-time but it was through my determination to succeed that I reached where I am today. I have exhibited in five continents

"Adult don't understand us" Jaden and Willow Smith open up in their first joint cover for Interview Magazine

Olufemi David OLUFEMI DAVID - Wednesday, August 31, 2016

In their first joint cover, Willow and Jaden Smith posed together for Interview magazine in a high fashion shoot and sat down with Pharrell Williams for a Q&A. The teens opened up about a wide range of topics from their parents, generational discrepancies to where they see themselves in 10 years. The siblings noted that sometimes they feel misunderstood by judgemental adults.

"It seems like they don't understand our thought process. Or, like, things have happened in the past that they are still mad about," Willow,15, said.

But that is OK as their famous parents...Will and Jada Pinkett Smith completely understand them and they couldn't be more proud of their parents.

"My parents are definitely my biggest role models. And that's where me and Willow both pull all of our inspiration from to change the world," Jaden, 18, said.

Willow:

"Growing up, all I saw was my parents trying to be the best people they could be and people coming to them for wisdom, coming to them for guidance, and them not putting themselves on a pedestal, but literally being face-to-face with these people and saying, ‘I’m no better than you, but the fact that you’re coming to me to reach some sort of enlightenment or to shine a light on some- thing, that makes me feel love and gratitude for you.’ They always give back what people give to them. And sometimes they keep giving and giving and giving. And some people don’t feel like they need to give anything back because it’s like, ‘Oh, if you’re famous, you can just keep giving, and it doesn’t matter.’ It’s not just about money. It’s not just about giving people gifts or whatever. What my parents have given to me is not anything that has to do with money or success or anything that society says people should be focusing on—it’s something spiritual that only certain people can grasp and accept. And that’s how I act and move in the world today.

Jaden:

"I 100 percent agree with Willow on that one. My parents are definitely my biggest role models. And that’s where me and Willow both pull all of our inspiration from to change the world. It all comes from a concept of affecting the world in a positive way and leaving it better than it was than when we came. I feel like that enters into all types of different areas because there are so many different outlets that life has to offer for us. That goes into technology, into music. That goes into science, into spirituality, into education. Where me and Willow come from, a lot of it is trying to make society more efficient, so that kids don’t cry, like, ‘Why do I have to go to school?’ Instead, kids are like, ‘Yeah! I’m so glad to go to school! I’m a better person than I was yesterday, and I can help people.’"

Gospel singers Donnie McClurkin and Nicole C Mullen are engaged

Olufemi David OLUFEMI DAVID - Monday, August 15, 2016

American gospel singers Donnie McClurkin and Nicole C. Mullen are getting married. Donnie McClurkin made the announcement when he appeared on TBN's long -running "Praise the Lord" ministry show on Thursday night.

Rumors that McClurkin and Mullen, 49, were dating started circulating after the two stepped out together at the 2015 Stellar Awards. But the gospel singers never made an official announcement about their romance until Thursday.

A.R. Bernard, who was also a guest on the show hinted at McClurkin's engagement during a discussion about his new book, What Women Want From Men. Th show host Matt Crouch then stood up and announced that the 56-year-old "We Fall Down" singer and Perfecting Faith Church pastor is, in fact, on course to getting married.

"OK, are you ready for something? You want me to just drop something on ya?" Crouch asked the audience as he shouted, "Donnie McClurkin's getting married! Come on!"

McClurkin then proceeded to explain his decision. "Well praise God," he said. "Honestly, the only thing in my life that is missing is marriage. The only thing that is missing in my life that can cause real family, is marriage. Financially, I'm there. Spiritually, I'm almost there. Emotionally, I'm getting it together. But the only thing that's missing out of everything that I'm doing locally, cross country and globally is that aspect that makes family, family — is that wife that would make man whole, that element that brings favor to man."

"I have a lot of great things, but I don't have a good thing, and there's favor that can only come through marriage to a man,"

The New York-based minister talked about spending his nights watching Cartoon Network until 2 a.m. and confessed that he has come to realize the missing part of his existence is to have a help mate.

"To have someone that I can love. I'm not saying to love me, 'cause there's a lot of people that love me. I want someone that I can love, heal and comfort, protect and secure. That's what I want," he said.

Crouch asked McClurkin to name his future bride and McClurkin described how God brought him and Mullen together on an flight to Africa in December 2015.

McClurkin said that even though they've known each other for 15 years, the first time they really had a chance to talk was when they were seated next to each other on a flight to Ivory Coast, during which they spoke for eight hours.

Mullen was married twice. During her first marriage, the songwriter and choreographer endured physical and mental abuse. In 1993, she married CCM singer-songwriter David Mullen. They announced their divorce in 2014, citing "Biblical reasons" The marriage produced three children, one daughter and two sons.

Donnie has a biological son and an adopted daughter but this will be his first marriage

NNPC boss rules out increment in petrol pump price

Olufemi David OLUFEMI DAVID - Wednesday, August 10, 2016

NNPC Group Managing Director, Maikanti Baru has ruled out the possibility of any increment in petrol pump price. Baru said this today to state house correspondents while reacting to media reports that oil marketers may soon increase pump price of petrol due to the scarcity of dollar and high exchange rates. According to Baru, he has not gotten any presidential directive to increase the pump price of petrol

“I have not been directed to increase pump price, even the other price was based on recommendation from the regulated body. I’m not aware that they are planing to do any increase, you know there are several factors that necessitated that especially the issue of exchange rate that has moved and we don’t expect any serious changes.

So far, the request for forex for importation of gasoline popularly called petrol has been met, and our own supply situation is robust. We are meeting demands. We have over 1.4 billion liters on ground. So I don’t see any basis for increase. However, the review could be done by the right body, you should contact PPPRA, that is the regulatory body as far as petrol pricing is concern” he said

'I love seeing Kim naked, love her nude selfies, I used to do cock selfies back in the days- Kanye West reveals in new interview

Olufemi David OLUFEMI DAVID - Saturday, July 30, 2016

Kanye West has revealed that he loves seeing his wife Kim Kardashian naked and that he loves her nude selfies taken from the side and back in a new interview with magazine, Harper's BAZAAR.

The rapper and fashion designer who together with Kim stunned on the cover of the magazine's September edition also revealed his best part of Kim is her heart and they both talked on a lot of things ranging from his debt, to Taylor Swift, to their biggest insecurities and annoying habits. Read the full interview after the cut.

Harper's BAZAAR's Laura Brown: Okay! So, this is in no particular order. Kanye, your favorite body part—your own or Kim's.

KW: Is the face a body part? My favorite body part of Kim's: heart.

KKW: Awww, now I have to say the same. But of my own, I like my upper stomach. I just seem to always have abs.When I'm not really pregnant, I have a great two-pack. [Laughs.] And of Kanye's? I have to say his heart. And I've always loved his legs.

LB: Favorite song of all time?

KW:"All Along the Watchtower." The Jimi Hendrix cover.

KKW: I really like the song "Only One" [West with Paul McCartney].

LB: Favorite Taylor Swift song?

KW: For me? I don't have one.

KKW: I was such a fan of hers.

LB: Favorite book?

KKW: Embraced by the Light. It's about a woman who passed away during surgery, and she went to heaven, had her experience, and then came back. My dad [Robert Kardashian] would try to get me to read it, and I wouldn't. Then when he passed away, I was cleaning out my room in his house, and I found it. I read it, and it helped me. I felt like my dad was okay.

KW: Yeah, I don't have an answer for that.

KKW: Your mom's book or your book?

KW: Yeah, but that's like, you know...

KKW: Too self-promotional?

KW: Yeah, too promotional.

LB: Celebrity crush when you were young?

KKW: I thought Johnny Depp was so cute when I was younger. Kanye, didn't you like Pam Anderson?

KW: Yeah! That's what I would say.

LB: Historical figure you identify with?

KKW: This one is hard.

KW: Us? Muhammad Ali, Marilyn Monroe—all day. Next question.

LB: Hidden talent? I don't know if you guys hide your talents, but if you do ...

KKW: I can smell when someone has a cavity. It's a very specific smell—not a bad-breath smell—but something that is really strong.

KW: I can analyze people's intentions. Immediately.That's just a warning. To everyone.

LB: Biggest insecurity?

KKW: I would say looking fat sometimes. I really do take it seriously. I try to do what I can and diet and stay in shape, and it does make me insecure when I'm heavy.

KW: I used to have insecurity about my finances, then I announced that I had debt, and now I don't have any insecurities.

KKW: Then you didn't have any debt; it seemed to all figure it out.

LB: You just put it out there, like The Secret.

KKW: Don't think that will work for everyone.

KW: People will definitely use that against you if someone knows that. But the one thing I don't have an insecurity about is public perception. I'm not going to conform to it, you know?

LB: Yes, the more attention you pay to the winds, you can overthink things.

KW: Here's something that's contrary to popular belief: I actually don't like thinking. I think people think I like to think a lot. And I don't. I do not like to think at all.

LB: You're an underthinker.

KW: I think about things to put them in a place where I don't have to think about them anymore. Say if I had a child with a really bad mom, I would have to think more than if I had a child with a good mom. I'm just doing my homework early. I told my trainer today, I'm a mix of a 14-year-old high schooler and a 60-year-old guy. It can never fall into the 30s or the 40s. It has to be 100 percent 60 or 100 percent 14, no in between.

LB: Can you please make that into a T-shirt? Okay, how much do you really sleep? On social media you are asleep all the time.

KKW: He can fall asleep anywhere.

KW: I can sleep. I love sleep; it's my favorite.

KKW: He took me to a fashion meeting in Paris once. I'd never met these people; I was so nervous. It was the beginning of our relationship, and I didn't know anyone in fashion. And he passed out at the table. I'm like, "I'm so sorry, we're jet-lagged." You don't know the number of times I've had to say that. I always flat-out lie that he's jet-lagged, even if we've been home for months. [Laughs.] Me? I'm up at like 6 a.m. With my trainer, running up the hill you drove up to get here.

LB: Most annoying habit?

KKW: I think he gets really annoyed because I just hate fittings. I'll just be like,"Ah, I can't find something to wear." I get so worked up every time I'm rushing; I get annoyed with rushing. Then I get in a bad mood—I'm so cranky. I hate being late.

KW: It's so hard to do fittings [for Yeezy] because we want to do things that are inspiring, that people could look at and say, "Wow, I like that color palette, I could put that together." And there are so many images of things that it's almost impossible to have your clothes go up against the amount you're seeing and carry it into one language. That's why I'm always fighting either to have a house work with us or to head a house. It's a lifestyle I can totally see: the future, modern Versailles, modern Versace, modern Calabasas, paparazzi, celebrity language. I just want to build a collection that's around me and my wife and my kids. Because Kris and the family, they have the power of communication. This is the number one communications company.

LB: You're saying you've got the power of the idea.

KW: The idea. I know I wasn't allowed to go to fashion school; I can't cut a dress like Galliano, right? But I had enough wherewithal to go to that studio on my first collection and bring Kim, [stylist] Christine Centenera, Ian Connor, Theophilus London, Virgil Abloh...they all came down to [Vetements/Balenciaga designer] Demna Gvasalia's studio that night and hung out. (And then Demna, as you probably know, he worked on Yeezy Season 1.) Anyway, I want to say a controversial thing for this article...

LB: I'm ready.

KKW: Laura's question was, What's annoying?

KW: What designer on the planet can sell, consistently, 40,000 shoes. In two minutes?

KKW: One minute.

LB: Wow. Yeezy does it. Okay, change of subject. Favorite selfie pose?

KKW: I love a selfie in the mirror.

KW: I love her nude selfies. Like, I love the ones from the side, the back ones, and the front. I just love seeing her naked; I love nudity. And I love beautiful shapes. I feel like it's almost a Renaissance thing, a painting, a modern version of a painting. I think it's important for Kim to have her figure. To not show it would be like Adele not singing.

LB: Kanye, nude selfies?

KW: I used to do nude selfies in my single days.You'd get a good cock shot here and there. [Laughs.] Gotta keep it rock 'n' roll.

LB: I'd assume scale is important.

KW: Yeah, it's all about scale. You don't become a rock star for no reason.

LB: Who's more vain?

KKW: I mean, me.

KW: Yeah, I think she has vanity. And with me, I don't give a fuck, bro; it is what it is. I'm the best—now what? I don't know if that's a vain statement. I don't particularly like photos of myself, though.

KKW: Yeah, what is the definition of vain? I want to look up exactly what the definition is.[Googles.] Vain, definition: "having or showing an excessively high opinion of one's appearance, abilities, or worth."

LB: Speaking of pride, tweets you're proud of and tweets you regret.

KKW: I don't regret any tweets. I'm not a tweeter and deleter. So I have no regrets.

KW: She hates tweeters and deleters.

LB: Kim, blonde or brunette?

KKW: Blonde. Brunette is who I am obviously, it's my core. Blonde Kim is this alter ego; she has a vibe to her that I love.

LB: Could you have predicted the reaction to your nude selfie with the black bars?

KKW: I was about to get in the shower; I took a nude selfie, kept it in my phone for over a year. I just liked the picture, so I was like,"Let me put censor bars on it and post it." I don't do things to be like, "This is powerful. I'm going to show you guys that this is my 'message.''' I'm not that type of person. I'm empowered by it, but I'm not doing it specifically to show power.

LB: It was a weird response because we've all seen your body before.

KKW: Yeah, that's what was so shocking. And when I put the bars on it, it was more covered up than a bikini!

LB: What was the last thing you bought yourselves and each other?

KKW: The last thing I bought was a pair of Isabel Marant sandals. I don't wear flats, so it's hard for me to buy sandals. Kanye is the hardest person to buy something for, so I bought…

KW: You extended the bathroom and bedroom on the house.

KKW: I rented an island for his birthday. A far, far away place where no one can find us.

KW: You see, those are the type of statements that make people not like us, more so than the "I'm the best" statement. It's more the "Oh, yeah, I just rented an island for his birthday ..." You know in Meet the Parents, Owen Wilson's character? All of our shit is like Owen Wilson's character; he's like, "This is when we jumped off Mount Everest, and we wore turtle flight suits or whatever."

LB: Is there anything you wish the world didn't know about you?

KKW: Definitely. I was going to say some ugly looks and stuff.

KW: Some pregnancy stuff. You killed this second pregnancy, though.Your body slammed that crap. You made that second pregnancy your bitch.

KKW: I wish I had a little bit more privacy.

LB: Okay, TV shows you binge-watch?

KW/KKW: Empire.

LB: What would you do if you were invisible?

KW: Women's locker room.

KKW: I would probably creepily follow my kids around, see how they act, see what they talk about. I record my daughter just talking because the things she says are so funny. I could watch her talk all day.

KW: Yeah, maybe. See, Kim? Yours is so much nicer than mine.

LB: What makes you both laugh?

KKW: Kanye just says the funniest analogies that are so random. I should start keeping a book—in 20 years, I'll have a big book of analogies.They always make me laugh.

KW: Kim's just a funny person in general.

KKW: But I don't get credit for being funny; it's, like, not a thing.

KW: I think my sense of humor is really dark and super twisted and stuff like that. It's like, "Is this a funny joke for real? Or am I just rich?" See? That was funny.

LB: What would you bring to a desert island?

KKW: My kids. My phone.

KW: Not me. [Laughs.] I would bring my laptop and the Internet.

LB: How would you like to be remembered?

KKW: I'd like to be remembered as someone who was smart in business, works hard, and can be sexy and a mom. A powerful but still sexy, nonconforming woman. And I would hope that Kanye would be remembered for being smart and sticking to what he believes.

KW: Determined. I would say my determination is way higher than my smartness.

KKW: A lot of people have strong beliefs, but they don't have the confidence to really stick to them. I really respect Kanye for that.

LB: I personally really enjoy your use of capital letters.

KW: Yeah, all caps. Next time I'm doing all raps in all caps.

KKW: Kanye, what do you want to be remembered for?

KW: Your answer was so much better. I was going to say the whole thing about global warming and we're all going to be gone.

My Intimate Relationship With My Manager – Yemi Alade

Olufemi David OLUFEMI DAVID - Monday, July 18, 2016

Talented Nigerian music star, Yemi Alade who recently signed a multi-million naira endorsement deal with Niarabox, in an interview with Kemi Filani cleared the air on her on N2.5m BET Awards dress, her new endorsement deal and her rumoured relationship with manager, Taiye Aliyu.
You were recently made Nairabox Ambassador, how do you feel about it?
I’m happy. Being a Nairabox Ambassador doesn’t hurt anybody, so why would I say no. It’s a cool trend. I like to be part of trend setting people, so that’s one of the reasons I accepted the deal.
As an Ambassador of that brand, what should your fans expect from you?
I’m part of Nairabox and there’s an interesting part of it that connects with my music. Nairabox users get to know about and listen to some of my new songs before any other people.
Yemi Alade has been endorsed by made brands, does it often get to you, making you feel it’s becoming too much work?
No oh! It doesn’t! It’s better to have so much to do than to be idle. And you know one can’t get endorsed by two similar brands as same time. If after one or two years, your contract expires, then perhaps a competitive brand would want to take over.
What are you doing at the moment?
Well, i’m still pushing my last album, Mama Africa. And I have dropped like four videos off the album. I have done a videos for Africa, Koffi, Nagode, Ferrari. Besides that, i’m working on more videos to come out very soon.
Nigeria music industry is majorly dominated by the male artistes, and only few females are at the top, does that put pressure on you?
The pressure is there because I have to keep up with what my male counterparts are doing. It’s also tough and challenging because in African the women are always looked down upon. There’s a lot of physical and psychological issues that we tackle as African female artistes whether you are A’ List or Z list. Well, I have chosen to on God’s list.
How do you feel attending BET awards for years, back to back, yet you haven’t won any of the trophies?
BET is a big award ceremony and African categories had just 6. We all know that in Nigeria alone, we have over 15 popular artistes that are doing well- both male and female. Then in the whole Africa, I was picked amongst the first 6 in three different categories- year after year which means that i’m doing something very good. I didn’t come back dry. I was next to Beyonce and her likes.
Did you really buy that gown you wore to BET for N2.5M? (laughs) Do you want to buy it from me?
Well, you can check it out yourself. Check the designer out. You don’t need to hear from me to confirm it. Just go online and see things for yourself.
Yemi Alade is amongst the top ten successful music stars in Nigeria, she has been endorsed by different brands, but when is she getting married?
Well, whenever it’s God’s time.
So, in other words, you are still looking for your Johnny?
No! Not at all. He should be the one looking for me, i’m tired of looking.
You have remained with this African hairstyles, would ever try another style, like Brazilian hairs and the likes?
The truth of the matter is; fixing of hairs is not normal. The normal ones are African hairstyles. Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Yemi with her manager.
You have maintained a clean slate in the entertainment industry filled with controversy, how have you been making it happen?
I’m just being myself and not going about looking for someone’s trouble.
It has become a trend for some female celebrities to date their male managers, and you have been listed to be a part of this, what’s your take on that?
Male Managers no be human being? The managers are there to take care of the careers. But seriously, if I had a female manager would you be asking me all these?

“I have No Regrets” – Paul Okoye’s Wife Anita Writes On Quitting Her 9-5 Job

Olufemi David OLUFEMI DAVID - Wednesday, June 29, 2016

The beautiful wife of singer Paul Okoye, Anita took to her Instagram to reveal that she quit her 9-5 job earlier this year in order to embark on new personal projects.
“Changes. This quote resonates with me because, at the beginning of 2016, I found myself unfulfilled in my 9-5.” she writes.
“Life was a bit robotic, mundane, I felt limited. I never knew I would be an entrepreneur, but I knew I didn’t want to be sitting behind a desk all day.
The creative in me wanted some shine and I had to answer.
Quitting my job, was a huge risk, financially and psychologically.
I swapped my high heels & Blazers for sneakers and hard hats.
I have no regrets, no looking back. I’ve been taking it one day at a time, it’s not been easy, but I’m nearly ready to reveal my new projects.”

I Have Given My Life To Christ, Patience Ozokwo Confirms

Olufemi David OLUFEMI DAVID - Saturday, June 25, 2016

Nollywood actress, Patience Ozokwo popularly known has Mama G has confirmed that she has indeed given her life to Christ, and the roles she would play henceforth must portrait that. In a chat with Saturday Beats, the actress talks about how she manages her new Faith….
“I did not just give my life to Christ. I have been a Christian all my life. The problem was that there were some compromises God wanted me to remove from my life. He wants me to be the face of Christianity so that when anyone sees me, they will know that I am a child of God.
The world has mingled with the church a lot and there is no difference between the world and the church. The way the worldly people dress is the way Christians are dressing nowadays. God told me he does not want his people to dress in that manner anymore. The men would plait their hair and use earrings, all these things are making God angry and even the women should be modest according to the way it is written in the Bible.
People should be known to be Christians through the way they dress, talk and approach life situations. You cannot call yourself a Christian and you drink alcohol. God does not want all that. I did not just repent now, I have been a born again Christian all these years, it is just that everybody has gone astray and we are now like unbelievers. That is what God said.
“It is not true that I said I do not want to be referred to as Mama G. I did not say so. It is the people that want to sell their papers that told that lie. God did not say I should retire from my work; after all, we act dramas in church. He did not tell me to stop acting and he did not tell me to stop bearing Mama G. Mama G is not a bad name, there are people who have bad names and he said they should drop them. Mine is not bad. The meaning of Mama means mother and the G stands for General. I am everybody’s mother. Even the scripture says that I am a mother to everybody, even the motherless children. I am just lucky because everything is falling into place.
My name is not bad. The world should know that Mama G is still Mama G; I am still Mama General and in other parts of Africa, they call me Mama Africa. How can I deny my fans of that? God did not ask me to quit my job, neither did he say I should renounce the name Mama G because there is nothing wrong with the name. However, if he asks me to stop bearing the name, I will throw it away because it is all about what he wants and not what any man wants.”
Mama G added that her faith will not affect her movie roles. She seized the opportunity to clear the air that her children have no problem with her faith. She said that they are happy for her and she is best of friend with her children.
She said, “My faith would not affect my career or movie roles. The movie I am about to shoot is an action movie. I am using it to expose some ills in the society. There are some obscene scenes that I cannot take part in because I am a child of God. If you watch my films, you will know that I have never shot any movie that is obscene. I tell my stories but you will never see me naked. Even when I try to portray some n**e scenes, I do it moderately.
