Simply Saka was offered an Interview recently and he has this to say about his s*x life

Do you really like s*x?

Every man likes s3x. A man who does not have s*x is not a man; that means something is wrong with him. But I am not obsessed with s3x. I am very faithful to my wife. Since I married her, I have not had any extra marital affair. Of course I have children and you cannot have children without s*x, which means that I do have s*x.

I just have s*x when I feel like. Sometimes once a week; at other times I may not have anything for one month. Sometimes I have it every day but I’m not really addicted to it.

Would you rather let your man eat here?

Veteran actor Charles Olumo popularly called Agbako will be 86 years old this year. The octogenarian, who has put in over 60 years in acting, spoke about his acting career also the relationship between him and Alabi Pasuma’s Mom.

Sir, it has been a long while you featured in movies?
Yes, you know the body is not as strong as it used to be. So, I am not stressing myself as I used to do before. If not of the love I have for acting, you would not see me here. The producer is a daughter, so I have to honour her call. I wonder how you pressmen know I would be here.

Just doing our job, so sir, what has been happening to you?
Well like I told you, have been taking things easy now. Not doing much, just cameo appearances. At 80+ you just must take it easy.

Can you take us down the memory lane, what was it to what it is now?
Well I have mixed feelings about that. You know with nostalgia thought comes perfection, so I am sure you will be expecting me to say it was better in those days. Yes I can say it was better because then, we had people who were into theater not for the commercial value as the first on their priority list, but because of the love they had for acting. This is not so now as people want to come in and make money first before anything. But even at that, I can still say the industry is better now as one can now be theater practitioners alone without supporting it with anything and still be successful in life.

Let’s talk about your career; what do you think you should be known for in Nigerian movie industry?
I can say it with all of my mouth in this industry in Nigeria, I am the first stuntman! You see; in those days, there was nothing like stunt in Nigerian movies. The camera is either manipulated to bring about effect, or it is done at the editing level. We were on set on one movie by the first Nigerian indigenous movie director, Ola Balogun, and in the script I was to jump from a very high building, I vehemently refused, left that place without doing what the script says I should do. The director agreed and I did it. I then decided after that to be available to any stunt a script dictates to me. So, my son I am the first Nigerian stuntman.

That brings me to the very important question, I know you don’t like to talk about it but because you called me your son, you must honour me by answering it, are you Wasiu Alabi Pasuma’s father?
I have stopped answering that question a long time ago but I will indulge you. See I am not Alabi Pasuma’s father. I dated his mother when she was with Baba Sala. Then she used to bring Alabi to locations, he was a toddler then. So if I was dating the mom, then I think I am qualified to say I am a father to him.

Looking at your contribution to the movie industry, can you say you are fulfilled?
Yes o! I can say that having put over 60 years of my existence to this work, I can say that I have paid my dues.

Any word to aspiring artistes?
I want them to know that it is not a play. Yes, you might be in it to act in a play but it is not a play, it is a job.

Thank you for your time Baba
No problem Omo

 A 55 year old man, Mr. Alani Shoyeju who is married to a prophetess, Mrs. Omowunmi Shoyeju has told Igando Customary Court to dissolve his marriage without further delay.

According to Alani, he used to make soaps with the prophetess before they fell in love and became husband and wife about three years ago. He said that peace had deserted him since he married her, and last year he had to leave the house for her. He told the court that the supposed woman of God was in the habit of fighting him with bottle and knife, whenever they had issues at home.

Narrating how their affairs started “the prophetess suddenly came to my house, and said that her former husband sent her out, and she had brought her belongings to my house. “She came on Okada in the rain, so I found it difficult not to accommodate her.”

He therefore pleaded with the court to dissolve the marriage. In her defence, the 40 year old prophetess said that she started having problems with her hubby when she found a horn in his pocket, and confronted him.
Meanwhile, the presiding judge R.I.Adeyemi adjourned the case till April 23, 2013.

 Before hitting the big time, the Olofa of Offa Oba Mufutau Gbadamosi who will be 50 years old in August was so poor that he once admitted he used to live in a single room with 28 people in Lagos while he was working with the Federal Housing Authority until 1997 when he went into buying and selling.

However, everything changed for the monarch who became the traditional ruler of Offa in Kwara State about three years ago following the supports he got from the richest man in Africa, Aliko Dangote and Mrs. Cecilia Ibru, who was then the MD of Oceanic Bank (now Ecobank).

While Dangote made him one of his company’s commodities largest distributors and relaxed the rule of paying upfront for all the transactions he had with Dangote Group, Oceanic Bank, thanks to Mrs. Ibru gave him several facilities to the point that he owed the bank N3billion before he became traditional ruler.
And if everyone is giving Mrs. Ibru stick for misappropriating depositors’ fund while she was in Oceanic, Oba Muftau Gbadamosi would give the complete opposite.

Reason? Mrs. Ibru wrote off his N3bn debt. Now, Chairman, MB Integrated Electrical & Data Services Ltd, Zarm Poultry & Feed Mill Industry, Lagos among others, Oba Gbadamosi who at a time bought a house for N50m in Apapa is quite rich. He built himself a multi-million naira palace in Offa and December last year, Kwara United Football Club signed MoU with his company, Yammfy Farm worth N60m whereby the premier league side would advertise the farm on its jerseys.

In KwaDukuza, South Africa. 27-year-old Tshepo Modisane and Thoba Sithole claim to have made history being the first gay men to be married in a traditional way, rural ceremony in KwaZulu-Natal. MANDY DE WAAL speaks to the happy couple.

In the town where one of Africa’s greatest warriors and military strategists was laid to rest, two courageous men are redefining what traditional masculinity is all about. In KwaDukuza (Stanger), where a memorial of Shaka kaSenzangakhona stands proud, Tshepo Modisane and Thoba Sithole became the first gay men in the province to celebrate their nuptials with a traditional, rural marriage on Saturday 6 April 2013, and invited the town to come and celebrate with them.
“This is the 21st century - society has changed and evolved. It is about time that gay rights are upheld and gay people are accepted, particularly by black people living in rural communities,” Tshepo told Daily Maverick on the phone from Durban. “We just want to lead happy and productive lives. We are gay but we are still African, and we want to live our lives in an African way following our traditions and beliefs,” he said. At their wedding, the pair was joined by family and friends in a traditional ceremony that saw the doors of the Stanger Siva Sungam community hall flung wide open to the local community, who turned up in droves to celebrate the couple’s union.

The ceremony included the slaughtering of a bull to ensure that the nuptials would be blessed in terms of ancestral traditions, and witnessed the exchange of customary gifts. “We decided on a traditional wedding not only to keep in line with our customs and traditions, but we also wanted to show the people of this country that, yes - it is possible to have a traditional African gay wedding,” explains Modisane. “There is this idea that being gay is an ‘unAfrican’ phenomenon, that homosegxwality is something to be ashamed of - that it is a Western thing. Thabo and I wanted to go against this notion by showing South Africans that being gay is indeed African and is very much a part of the African culture. We wanted people to know that a gay union can be accepted and celebrated by friends, family and the broader community,” he says.

Modisane’s husband, Sithole, says that initially the community of KwaDukuza expected to come to the wedding and to see two men draped in wedding dresses. “People can have strange notions about what it means to be gay because for the most part prejudice is based on ignorance. But when the people from KwaDukuza arrived at our wedding they witnessed two very ordinary men in love, and they celebrated with us.” The wedding was aired on eNews and there’s a heart-warming moment that shows the pair walking into the ceremony dressed in their respective traditional garb – Modisane in his Tswana regalia and Sithole dressed in Zulu garb. As the two arrive and the crowd gets sight of them, the open skies fill with the sound of ululating and cheering.
Modisane picks up the story: “We had over 300 people who witnessed our wedding. The response was amazing because people were so excited and looking forward to the wedding. On the day people came out in their numbers, which was so unbelievable,” he says excitedly.
The pair say that they were overwhelmed by the affection and the joy displayed by the crowd. “It was a remarkable experience to be surrounded by so many people who were so accepting and warm and loving towards us,” says Sithole. “For us it was important to normalise gay marriages in the community - for people to come and witness, and see that there’s nothing strange or scary about what we’re doing. That we’re just two guys in love.”

Modisane and Sithole first met in Durban when they were both at university. “We were just friends then, but I had to come back to Johannesburg and we lost contact,” says Modisane. “Some time afterwards Thoba got a job in Johannesburg and started to work here on a full time basis in 2011. We started out as gym partners and the relationship grew – soon we were lovers and then knew we wanted to be each other’s partners. We got engaged in June last year - that’s when we decided we wanted to get married.”

Today the couple live together in Johannesburg where Modisane is an IT specialist and Sithole an audit manager at PwC. “Yes, we could have got married in Johannesburg, but it was important for us to be brave enough to have our wedding in a rural area,” says Modisane, adding: “Besides, that’s where my partner was born, grew up and went to school. It is where he comes from.” The wedded couple will henceforth be known as Mr and Mr Sithole-Modisane.

Na so we c am oooo, Baba still dey active... Production Things

There's a new way to gather fuel from a renewable resource. Researchers have found a way to extract vast quantities of hydrogen from any plant using a breakthrough method that has the potential to bring a low-cost, environmentally friendly fuel source to the world.

In order to accomplish this feat, the researchers combined xylose, the most abundant plant sugar, and a cocktail of enzymes that were artificially isolated from different microorganisms that thrive at extreme temperatures. They then added polyphosphate and used mild reaction conditions at 122 degrees Fahrenheit and normal atmospheric pressure. In the end, the scientists liberated three times as much hydrogen as other hydrogen-producing microorganisms.

"Our new process could help end our dependence on fossil fuels," said Y.H. Percival Zhang, the lead researcher, "Hydrogen is one of the most important biofuels of the future." Hydrogen fuel does indeed have the potential to dramatically reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Currently, automobile manufacturers are attempting to develop vehicles that run on hydrogen fuel cells. Unlike cars that run on gas, these hypothetical vehicles would only produce water as a "pollutant."

Before now, though, there wasn't a way to create the hydrogen fuel these cars would need in a cost-effective manner. Challenges to the commercial production of hydrogen gas from biomass included not only the high cost of the processes to make it, but also the relatively low quantity that was produced. The researchers' new method, though, could provide all the fuel that these cars would need.

Unfortunately, it may be quite some time before these cars are actually created. Yet if they are created, they may just have a fuel source to use that could be environmentally friendly.

 ‘Frank Ocean ain’t no rapper,’ says Snoop, suggesting Ocean wouldn’t be accepted by the rap community for speaking openly about his relationship with a man.
 Snoop Lion made bold comments about gay marriage and rap music, even addressing singer Frank Ocean’s coming out. Snoop, 41, who has spoken in favor of marriage equality before, was asked if he believed the R&B singer’s declaration of having loved a man meant gay relationships would soon be accepted in the rap community.

“Frank Ocean ain’t no rapper,” Snoop said, “He’s a singer. He’s acceptable in the singing world, but in the rap world I don’t know if he will ever be acceptable because rap is so masculine.”

Snoop Lion made it clearn that he doesn’t personally have an issue with same-sex couples.
“I don’t have a problem with gay people,” he added. “I got some gay homies.”

I guess thats her next line of action

 Re-Actress, Mercy Aigbe Disgraced by Her Husband
The above subject matter refers.

 After reading the latest lie from Stella Dimoko, one can only conclude that the blogger is on a poorly orchestrated vendetta against Mercy Aigbe-Gentry, a successful actress, wife and mother. It is also easy to deduce from the incoherent and watery 'report' that Mrs Dimoko has no idea what journalism or blogging is all about because the story comes across as fiction from a puerile, retrogressive and unproductive mind.

Stella fictitiously and wickedly averred in her report that Mr. Lanre Gentry, husband of frontline Yoruba actress, Mercy Aigbe pummelled her after finding her in a night gown inside a hotel room. This is nothing but a figment of Stella’s myopic and infantile imagination. While not joining issues with a blogger who knows zilch about the tenets of journalism considering her antecedents, we would summarise what happened yesterday for the sake of clarity and Mrs Gentry's legion of discerning fans.

Indeed, Mercy was hosted by indigenous television station on Startimes, Odua Mounmarowan, on Sunday evening. She came to the event with her friends, younger sister and Faith Irabor, a journalist in her car. However, Mr. Gentry came in from his hotel in Oregun, Lagos. The event was well-attended by movie and media personalities. Immediately after the event, Mercy went to the changing room allotted to her in company of her husband and Faith Irabor. On getting to the car park, however, Mercy’s car didn’t start; so she joined her husband with her friends and left for Oregun, her husband's hotel.

In all of these, one can’t get where Stella got her concocted report from. Mr Gentry left the venue happy as the event was successful and without hiccups.
As at the time the couple left, the musician specially invited to perform, Sunny Melody was still performing.
We are therefore confused as to where Mrs Dimoko got her story from? The moon, perhaps. Why does Mrs Dimoko keep publishing lies all in the name of journalism? Is she not happy that a younger woman, Mercy, has a flourishing career as an actor and producer and also enjoys domestic felicity? Mrs Dimoko, these are things God can do for you too if you stopped destroying homes and people.

Having said these, we challenge Mrs Dimoko to furnish the public with evidence of Gentry’s anger and battery, or Mercy leaving in a nightgown. We strongly believe that those who mean well for journalism should not watch people like this blogger drag the noble profession through the mud. 

God help us all
