If you’re a follower of the Nollywood goddess on twitter handler, you would have noticed that she has included something in her profile.
Read this, “Who eva said Succezz waz a slow procezz waz mos defntly not talking abt Mii/Businezz tycoon/Nollywood Actress*#IAMPOKO#Teamlovethyself#I luv TerryG.”
Need we say more? She has recently included her last line and I hope Terry G feels the same she does.
Meanwhile, a close friend of the sultry actress said that she and Terry G will make a good companion. Reason being that, Terry G is a drug addict and Tonto, being a drunk, would make her the perfect partner.
Couple of weeks ago an unconfirmed report informed that Wizkid moved to his own crib in Lekki.

Chelsea star Eden Hazard was sent off for kicking a BALLBOY in the ribs in the Capital One Cup semi-final match against Swansea on Wednesday night, Jaunary 23, 2013.
Chelsea were losing 2-o aggregate and heading out of the competition with ten minutes to play when the ball went out fora goal kick. The Ballboy, Charles Morgan was smothering the ball and about to throw it back in when Hazard lost his patience and almost started wrestling him for it.
The 22-year-old Belgian player kicked the boy in the stomach. This of course raised a lot of reaction from the home crowd who were infuriated by his actions.
Hazard was sent off before the game resumed play.
‘The boy put his whole body onto the ball and I was just trying to kick the ball and I think I kicked the boy and not the ball. I apologise. The ballboy came in the changing room and we had a quick chat and I apologised and the boy apologised as well, and it is over. Sorry’, Hazard later said
t’s definitely all enjoyment for the MAVIN first lady, Tiwa Savage as she checks into one of the most luxurious hotels in the world, The Burj Al Arab in Dubai.
From her post on twitter, it is obvious the sexy singer is not alone but it is not clear who is keeping her company.
See her tweet below and check out the pics… jealous already?
Agbako master Terry G is a proud father as his UK based fiancee, Mimi Omoregbe has given birth to a baby boy in the UK.
Although Mimi and Terry G are not yet married some reports have it that the Gingah master secretly carried out a traditional wedding with Mimi. It is however a story that neither Terry G nor his management confirms or denies.
Terry G emerged in the music scene back in 2008 and released his debut ‘Free Me‘ the following year. After a series of features and production for artistes, he rose to fame with the release of the hit single ‘Free madness’ off the ‘Ginjah ur swaggah season 1 album.
Award-winning singer Wande Coal of Mavin Records has delighted fans by releasing a brand new single ‘The Kick’ on 23 January 2013.
Wande Ojosipe, also known as Wande Coal, is known for his improvisational skill and unique dance moves. His inimitable vocal style and dexterity has endeared him to thousands of music lovers and fans nationwide and earned him critical and commercial success. He started gaining national attention after being featured on D’banj’sRundown/Funk You Upalbum on singles like“Loke,”“Tonosibe” and “Why Me.”
Wande became a household name with his prominent vocals on the Mo’Hits All Star’s compilation album Curriculum Vitae. His first single from the album ‘Ololufe’ was described as the greatest love song written by a Nigerian. Demand for a solo album grew and Wande duly obliged with 2008’s hugely successful Mushin 2 MoHits. The album broke several records by racing to sell over 3 million copies with 3 singles that shot straight to Number 1 on the charts.
In early May 2012, when Don Jazzy announced a new record label, Mavin Records, Wande Coal became part of the first wave of artists signed to the label including D’Prince, Dr SID and Tiwa Savage. His musical prowess was noticeable in the first singles released in the Solar Plexus album – D’Prince has three singles featured in the Solar Plexus album, which was released in May 2012, “Forever,” “See me Ri,” and “Pretty Girls.”
The new single “The Kick”, produced by and featuring the award-winning ace producer Don Jazzy, is one of the songs in Wande Coal’s forthcoming album, and takes off from the success of his other singles.
Don Jazzy has vexed!!!
This is a an amazing new single from Wande Coal featuring Don Jazzy and it is safe to say that Wande Coal is back in rare form.

As usual, Prophet TB Joshua, the leader of Synagogue, Church of All Nations has revealed that he warned Coach Stephen Keshi to ensure that the Super Eagles did not concede a last minute goal in their AFCON Group C match against Burkina Faso yesterday.
Just as millions of soccer pundits have critisised the Eagles’ approach to the match, Keshi’s spiritual confidant, Prophet TB Joshua said he spoke to the coach to tighten up his team’s rear, especially in the second half. The leader of Synagogue, Church of All Nations, who said the Eagles also disappointed him as a strong fan said: I called and warned Keshi to watch out for that dangerous move by the Burkina Faso strikers”.
And due to the fact that many people may not belief in his prediction, TB Joshua supported his claims by making a recorded copy of his conversation with Keshi available to P.M.NEWS.
It will be recalled that the Nigerian team, that scored a first half goal through Emmanuel Emenike, were close to winning their opening match at South Africa 2013 Nations Cup, but lost focus and allowed the Burkinabes equalised barely 10 seconds to the end of the match at Mbombela Stadium. http://dft.ba/-tbjoshua
Here is a letter written to Jim Ikye concerning his recent outburst on twitter. Jim Ikye called a the well know Linda Ikeji a “HERMAPHRODITE WITCH” no for posting his picture online, we really see no harm in that but due to his arrogance he insulted the lady.
Here is Mr Oguefi Dumex’s letter to Jim Ikye …
Good day Mr James Ikechukwu or rather Jim Iyke, i do like your movies and i enjoy the bad boy roles you take..really they fascinate me.
The reason i am writing this letter is to express my disappointment about your recent tweet assault on a fellow blogger and my mentor for that matter,Linda Ikeji.
This is not the first time you are attacking her, initially you insulted and accused her of publishing a post about you eating corn in Amsterdam which she did not do, it was actually another blogger, Laila Ikeji and you apologized, everyone forgave you.
Now it has come to my hearing that you called her an anorexic she chimp and a hermaphrodite witch because she published a picture of you on her blog and even praised you for having a toned body,i must say…Jim you can be very stupid and immature at times. See let me tell you, you are a celeb no one is disputing that but Linda can make or mar you, i am very sure of that, why can’t you just be a man and move on,There are many naija celebs linda writes about and they don’t make noise or rant.
i advise her not to even write about you anymore because you don’t deserve the favour.
You are a classic modern day manifestation of someone who lacks manners and common sense, i had respect for you before but now, you just an ordinary commoner .
Nollywood actor and former president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, Segun Arinze, and his family, were featured on the front cover of a style magazine recently and most blogs published it.
Some readers made unsavoury comments about the actor’s wife as well as his looks which for a long time, have remained the b*tt of rude jokes – particularly his seeming large eyeballs.
But this time, the ‘black arrow’ star will not roll over and let the subliminals hurled at himself and his wife pass, without a response.
The response below is a text message from the star actor yesterday evening to popular blogger, Linda Ikeji, which she published on her blog and informationng.com culled it.
Dear Linda,
I want to thank you for having such a wonderful blog. Having said that, I want to say despite the fact that we have freedom of expression doesn’t give people the liberty to be reckless with words without verifying facts first.
See the rest below the photo
Someone said my wife cut across as someone rude. That’s a big lie! She’s the most courteous person you can think of. Sometimes people like to take the piss.
Now my full names are Segun Aina Padonou. My father, though late, was Yoruba from Badagry. My mum is Ibo. Arinze is the Ibo name given to me by my mum. So I used it as Pseudonym. That’s why you have Segun Arinze.
And as at the last time I looked in the mirror, I didn’t see any ugly Segun. No human has a right to call another ugly because you ain’t God. You can’t give life so don’t curse or swear. http://dft.ba/-segunarinzefiresback
