Oh OK, now I see the reason for Brymo's tweets yesterday. He literally can't work as an artist until he sorts himself out with Choc City. Apparently his former record label Chocolate City through their law firm, L & A legal Consultants on Monday October 21st got an injunction against him, 'restraining him from recording, releasing, distributing any composition, song, musical works or carrying out any activity as a recording or performing artist through or for the benefit of any person or organisation other than Chocolate City pending the determination of the suit against him.

Chocolate City says Brymo's contract remains valid until 2016. Brymo is too talented not to work... please y'all should sort this out!

Thanks to an Instagram photo, NET has finally been vindicated. Ayodeji ‘Wizkid’ Balogun has finally confirmed our story that he’s the proud father of a two year boy named Boluwatife.

On August 21, 2011, when Nigerian Entertainment Today published an exclusive report that Wizkid has fathered a baby with an undergraduate named Oluwanishola Ogudugu, Wizkid denied the report. Days before, in an exclusive interview conducted in his Ogudu GRA home, Wizkid had laughed off the question, responding ‘It sounds funny. Look at it ‘Wizkid has a kid’. Doesn’t that sound funny itself?‘

His label and management remained more than silent on the issue and for years Wizkid and his team avoided questions concerning the ‘rumours’. In an interview with The Punch in December 2012, Wizkid blatantly denied the baby-story.

‘It was rumoured that I had a love child. Even if I had a child, I don’t think it is something I should be ashamed of. Instead, I would come out plainly and declare that I am a father. Everybody makes mistakes. But it was just a false rumour. I don’t have a child anywhere‘, Wizkid told Nonye Ben-Nwankwo.
Should we now be concerned that Wizkid is singing a new tune, and accepting fatherhood or just assume the once naïve young boy has grown up to accept his responsibilities?

Speaking of responsibilities, the baby mama in question Oluwanishola Ogudugu (fondly called Sola) unlike many other celeb baby mamas was never thrown into the spotlight until now. That would be because Wizzy never accepted the baby back then; making most of his die hard fans believe she never even existed. And even when pictures of Sola and a toddler hit the gossip blogs late last year, no one was interested.

It must have been a hard time also for little known Sola (who is in her mid-20s, we are told) but the young lady soon outgrew her worries and accepted motherhood way before Wizzy did fatherhood – Sola has constantly been posting pictures of Boluwatife since he turned one, especially on Facebook and Instagram.

It seems Sola has moved on too, she currently works at a business solutions and market access company Structured Resource Business Limited located on Norman Williams Ikoyi Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria. According to her Instagram photos, Sola is in a relationship with another young man.

Wizkid is also in a relationship with another woman Tania Omotayo. Sources close to the couple say their relationship is quite strong not minding public scrutiny. Omotayo recently revealed on Twitter that she had known Wizkid before the singer fathered his first child. ‘We met five years ago at a friend’s house‘, Tania told someone on Twitter this October.

Boluwatife is already warming up to be a star in his own right: with over 600 followers on Instagram. Beat that!

A heavily armed killer squad allegedly operating at the behest of Delta State Commissioner for Basic and Secondary education, Patrick Muoboghare, unleashed terror early hours of Sunday on the Uwheru community in Ughelli North local government area.

Several members of the community told SaharaReporters that the armed thugs had killed one George Imiti in an earlier attack on October 2.

In last Sunday’s attack, the thugs reportedly destroyed at least 12 houses, several cars and other property valued at millions of naira. Our sources said the armed thugs targeted community members perceived to be supporters of Clement Osieta, the town’s former President General and a political foe of Mr. Muoboghare. Mr. Osieta, who has taken refuge in Abuja, said the killer squad was sent to assassinate him, but went on a rampage when they could not locate their main target.



SaharaReporters learnt that many residents and indigenes had deserted the once peaceful Urhobo community following the bloody attacks.

Until last week, Mr. Osieta was the senior special assistant to Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan on community relations. Several sources said he and Mr. Muoboghare had been locked in a political battle over the leadership of Uwheru clan. A community leader accused the commissioner of using official apparatus, including soldiers, to intimidate and harass Mr. Osieta and his associates.

SaharaReporters had reported that youths belonging to the PDP had beaten and stabbed Mr. Muoboghare on September 7, 2013 as he tried to doctor the Uwheru ward executive list of the PDP at the party secretariat at Ughelli.



Speaking from police headquarters, Abuja where he took refuge, Mr. Osieta alleged that there had been several attempts to assassinate him. He accused the commissioner of perpetrating a series of illegal acts in the community.

“The killer squad of Professor Patrick Muoboghare has gone to acquire guns and bullets [in order] to attack all my political associates at night,” he said, adding that the squad had a list of persons they would take as hostages. In addition, he said the squad had instructions to burn his house and that of the PDP chairman in the community. “As we talk [the local PDP chairman’s] car has already been destroyed. Professor Muoboghare has used his killer squad to destroy over 12 houses and property worth over N40 million. He told his hoodlums to do whatever they like because he owns the Delta State government.”

Both Mr. Osieta and other sources in the community stated Mr. Muoboghare’s armed thugs were led by one Macpherson Igbedi. “Once they arrived in Uwheru, they shot sporadically. They destroyed houses and vehicles and also looted shops.”

Mr. Osieta claimed that Mr. George Imiti died from severe injuries he had sustained at the hands of Mr. Muoboghare’s armed thugs.



Among those whose properties were destroyed in the weekend attack is Mr. Pioneer Ogagamuero, the PDP chairman in Uwheru. A source said his house and Toyota Corolla car were burnt.

A community leader said he and others knew some of those who carried out Sunday’s attacks. They included Igho Aragba, Jeo Erekata, Gabriel Umukoro, Godspower Ojomi, Monday Owhosiri, Oghenekaro Umukoro, Gabriel Okoribo, Benjamin Owh*reko,  James Omovwe, Daniel Muoboghare, Edward Eyamu, Emijevwe Ikpepu, and Mitayire Aragba. He said four other men wearing police bulletproof were part of the attackers.



The source alleged that the meetings to plan the widespread destruction took place at the Warri residence of Uwheru caretaker chairman, Colonel Douglas Ushure (rtd) who was also accused of promised to support Mr. Muoboghare with arms and ammunition.

Reacting to a text message, Mr. Muoboghare neither debunked nor admitted the allegations. “I am sure you are aware of my situation right now. I am still recovering from what you know happened to me. The young man [Mr. Osieta] is wanted by the police. Has he shown up?”

Two persons yesterday died on top of the Niger Bridge, Onitsha in Anambra State following a heavy traffic jam on the bridge.

The victims, a middle-aged man and a little child, allegedly died due to exhaustion arising from the long hours spent in their vehicles while trying to cross the Niger Bridge which passage has for some time now remained a nightmare to both transporters and their passengers.

Sources, however, said that the deceased whose identities were not immediately known was a minor who was coming back with his mother in a commercial bus from Lagos, while the second victim, was a trader who travelled all the way from the North to Onitsha to sell his goods.

It was learnt that while the small child died instantly on her mother’s lap at the Bridge, the business man died minutes after crossing the bridge to Onitsha from the North. It was alleged that the child had cried for a long time due to heat in the vehicle while waiting to cross the bridge before the mother eventually discovered that her child was no longer breathing.



The bewildered mother was said to have become hysterical as she burst into tears running helter-skelter when she discovered that her child whom she thought fell asleep was actually dead. The trader was also said to have boarded the vehicle from the North and travelled smoothly until the Asaba end of the Bridge where they spent several hours under the scorching heat in an attempt to cross the Niger Bridge. An eye witness account said that the victim and other passengers with him in the vehicle had already crossed the bridge and was offloading his goods from the vehicle when he suddenly slumped and died.

The Federal Government had repeatedly promised in the last 10 years to build a second Niger Bridge to ease traffic congestion on the bridge which is the gateway from the Lagos and other South-west states to the South-east and South-South.

A model from South Florida was arrested for stabbing her boyfriend with a pocket knife because his dog ate her Marijuana stash.

Shadae Scott, 26, who told a judge she does modeling work, posed for a Broward Sheriff’s Office mugshot after she was arrested on Sunday evening and charged with one count of domestic battery.

Her boyfriend, Kevin Wiggins, suffered two small knife cuts in the face and head area and one gash across his hand.

Scott explained to deputies that her boyfriend kept walking into her knife as the two argued, according to an arrest report.

Wiggins told deputies the couple got into a fight after his dog ate her marijuana. Wiggins said she kicked him out of the apartment but he couldn’t find his personal items. The model hid all his stuff, the boyfriend said.

He told deputies Scott then started stabbing at him after he asked where his computer was hidden.

Scott told a different story, according to the report.

She said the fight was over dinner plans. She said the argument turned physical after she tried to leave the apartment. but he stopped her from leaving. Scott said she then pulled out a pocket knife to protect herself.

“Scott added that during one of the many times during the argument, Wiggins walked into the knife and cut himself,’ wrote Sheriff’s Deputy Laughten Hall on the arrest report.

Hall noted seeing three “small lacerations” on Wiggin’s body, including a slash over his left ear.

Nigerians are seriously angry over Edo State's governor hosting of BBA winner, Dilish.

Since the BBA winner won big show prize, she never stepped into the soil of Nigeria until recently when she got invited by the hard-working Edo State governor, comrade Adams Oshiomole.

It was reported over the weekend that the winner of BBA The Chase, Dillish came into Nigeria and was hosted by the Governor of Edo State, Gov.

Dillish announced on twitter that she's in Nigeria, it was surprising that even the press didn't know of her coming. she was given a Queen's reception and also made richer by the Governor.

Meanwhile, some Nigerians are not too pleased with the governor's action and gone to social media to vent their anger.

Here's what a cross section of Nigerians are saying:

PRINCECHARMING:
Where is Beverly? Shouldn't she be first on that list? Well, nice one for Dillish, favour seems to encompass her.

Gov. Oshiomole should have blessed our Nigeria Melvin and Beverly who didn't win now. Well as the saying goes we dont appreciate our own.

Whereas there are people in that same Edo state who can't afford three square meals,live in squalor and abject poverty?
A nation with misplaced priorities.

Rapper Ikechukwu celebrated his birthday last Sunday at one of the best Lounges on the beach in Lagos, Vertigo Bar & Lounge, Elegushi. D'banj, Denrele, KaySwitch, Melvin and Bassy of BBA, Cossy Orjiakor, Karen Igho, Dem Mama Soldier, Ketchup, and Emeka Vertigo were all at the party.

Da'Brain CEO to BC Entertainment, BC Records & Vertigo Bar & Lounge has been behind a lot of performances in Nigerian Entertainment Industry alongside Emeka Vertigo and Buga.

One of Nigeria’s most popular actors Pa Kasumu lives in a Lagos slum. We were shocked to discover that an actor of Pa Kasumu’s calibre resides in a multi-tenanted rooming apartment building, commonly referred to as ‘face-me-I-face-you. Photo: Victor Enengedi

No 9 Alayaki street in the densely-populated Mushin area of Lagos where Pa Kasumu lives is no different from your typical Lagos slum. It’s surprising to discover that an actor of Pa Kasumu’s calibre resides in a multi-tenanted rooming apartment building, commonly referred to as ‘face-me-I-face-you’.

‘Can you imagine I pay N150,000 every year for this apartment’, Pa Kasumu told our correspondent, referring to his one bedroom and parlour apartment. The actor’s room is in the upper part of the building where he shares a toilet and bathroom with many other occupants also living on the top floor. The building is not only dilapidated but also gross with filth and debris in and around the compound. Typical of this kind of living environment, households have to share facilities like the toilet, bathrooms and kitchen.

Nigerian Entertainment Today visited the actor on Thursday October 17 , 2013. Pa Kasumu tries to speak, but is clearly inaudible enough to overcome the loud noise coming from the speaker of a nearby mosque. His second son, Babajide Odumosu who was at home to take care of him was happy to give our correspondent an update on the events so far.

‘This environment is really not helping him’ Babajide said. ‘The doctors say he needs a lot of rest. As you can see, there is no way he will be able to get that with this noise you are hearing right now. The worst part is, there is another speaker very close to his window on his bedside’

A week ago, the Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola became interested in Pa Kasumu’s condition and offered to help with the treatment. Babajide told us that they had undergone the series of test like the Governor instructed and are still waiting for further instruction from the governor. ‘The Governor had asked for my father to go through series of tests. The doctors have fully examined him and have sent Governor Fashola a report. We are still waiting to for the next step.’

The actor shares this toilet and bathroom with many other occupants also living on the top floor.



Meanwhile the family told us that the Lagos State Government’s effort to ascertain the nature and extent of Pa Kasumu’s ailment has taken him to three specialist centres.

‘We were referred us to First Cardiology Consultants somewhere in Ikoyi. They did some test there and they referred us to a specialist laboratory, Mecure Diagnostic Centre in Lekki. There some more tests were done and we later proceeded to Crestview Radiology in Victoria Island. The results of the tests have been concluded and I’m sure the report would have reached the governor by now’.

From the recent tests carried out, it was discovered that the ailment is spreading to other organs in his body. ‘According to the results, not only are his heart and liver affected, his brain and sight have become slightly affected, hence his inaudibility and inability to see as well as before.’

But there is also good news. ‘The good news is that, the doctors have said that there wouldn’t necessarily be a need for a transplant or surgery’, Babajide explained. ‘He would have to undergo heavy physiotherapy and expensive medication for the rest of his life’

In 2011, news went viral that Pa Kasumu reportedly suffered from stroke, but was able to bounce back and made it to the first edition of Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards (AMVCA) held in Lagos in March 2013.

Reacting to some of the reports that Fashola has made the N12 million donation, Pa Kasumu’s first son, Tunde Odumosu told us,‘The Governor himself has not said that he will foot the entire bill. He paid for the series of medical tests and so we as humans are just being hopeful that he will do more’

Tunde also expressed his excitement over the Governor’s interest in his father’s case. ‘We know that the Governor is a very busy man and we cannot expect him to leave other things he is doing and focus on my father’s problem. That’s why we are still keeping our options open by seeking funds from other sources and hoping that Nigerians will help’

On how much has been realised from the donations made so far, Babajide says just a little above a million. ‘A commissioner in Lagos State made quite a huge donation and a few friends of my father in the industry also made donations. I think right now, we have a little above one million Naira so far if I am not mistaken’

We must commend the organisers of the Hennessy Artistry Grand finale. The finale was most definitely a great success in all ways. Great crowd, very good environment, the ambiance at the venue was super cool. The empty space that makes up the marquee was totally transformed. The sound was first rate, the guests a very good mix and there was too much Hennessy to drink and some finger foods to nimble on. Not forgetting that entertainment as provided by the various stars like Banger Lee, Seyi Shay, Naeto C, Burna Boy, 2 Face, K-Switch and more was 7-stars.


It's been a while many saw Naeto C perform and like he always does, he did very well, he even gave his very shy wife a shout out much to the admiration of all. Tuface as expected was in his element, we believe that if the dude is woken up from a deep sleep to perform, he would still give a top notch performance. Kudos to all the other stars that gave very good account of themselves, Seyi Shay is showing to all every time now the stuff of which she's made, she's a dynoooMITE on stage. We particularly love Burna Boy a thorough professional who always always give his best whenever he performs, loved that he wore his Manchester United jersey with much aplomb!!!

We saw very many at the event, the likes of Toolz Oniru, Phyno, Chidinma, ex-beauty queen Omowunmi Akinnifesi who has added a bit of weight in some areas, Fade Ogunro in that sexy black number with the long slit pants & sheer top, Wana Udobong, Lil Miss Miss, the very delightsome & vintage loving Temi Dollface she's always a delight to see at all times. We also saw Yets Asika, Karen Igho, Beverly Osu, Praiz, DJ Exclusive, Lilian Unachukwu, Hauwa Mukan, Olisa Adibua, Tosin Ajibade of Olori Supergal and so many others.

A section of the ailing NNPC refinery in Warri, Delta state was gutted by fire this morning, though I hear the situation is now under control as fire fighters have been battling all morning to put the fire out. No word yet on what caused the fire...details later!

A pathologist with the Central Hospital, Benin yesterday disclosed that the hospital recorded no fewer than 80 cases of rape from March to mid-October this year.

Dr. Jude Uchendu, a consultant pathologist in the Department of Pathology and Forensic Medicine in the hospital, made the disclosure in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Benin.

He said more than 90 per cent of the cases were committed by people known by the victims with a significant number committed by neighbours or blood relations.

Acording to him, only few were carried out by strangers, such as armed robbers and people who met the girls on their way and took them to uncompleted buildings.

Uchendu also said some of the perpetrators of the crime were either girls’ fathers or caregivers.

“Between the month of March and October, we have interviewed over 80 patients and unfortunately, most of them are less than 18 years.

“This figure is only a tip of the iceberg because most people that are raped do not come to hospital to complain.

“The few victims that come to the hospital to complain do not pursue the matter as a legal case,” Uchendu said.

He said rape cases were becoming an epidemic and should be treated as a public health issue by stakeholders.

“We need people that will talk about it so that the public will know how to deal with such situations,” Uchendu said.

He said the victims were usually threatened by the perpetrators and thus, they did not tell their parents. The doctor urged parents to spend more time with their children so that they could monitor their activities and whereabouts.

He also called on the government to do something about the large number of uncompleted buildings, which he said served as hideouts for criminals and unemployed youths.

“It is observed that there are a lot of homes where parents are too busy, children are left in the care of neighbours or relatives.

“Parents should spend more time with their children, teach them about sex and teach them how to defend themselves so that in cases where they are exposed to rape they can run away.

“They should also teach them about their private part and to say no when people try to play with it,” Uchendu said.

Jose Mourinho was charged with improper conduct by the Football Association on Monday after being sent to the stands during Chelsea’s 4-1 win over Cardiff.

There were a number of controversial incidents in the Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge on Saturday and Chelsea manager Mourinho was sent to the stands by referee Anthony Taylor for the final 20 minutes after losing his cool when a series of decisions went against his team.



Mourinho went to sit with the fans, making the day of those he sat next to, but his own frustration was clear.

Earlier in the match, Chelsea’s Eden Hazard had scored a controversial equaliser after Samuel Eto’o dispossessed Cardiff’s David Marshall as the goalkeeper bounced the ball, contrary to FIFA rules.

The former Real Madrid boss has been given until 1700GMT on Thursday to respond to the charge.

The nature of the offence means Mourinho is most likely to face a fine, rather than a ban.

Kim Kardashian got the birthday surprise of a lifetime tonight. She is engaged to longtime love Kanye West, the rapper popping the question in front of their friends and family at AT&T Park in San Francisco. Kanye, whose Yeezus Tour touches down in nearby San Jose tomorrow night, rented out the stadium for the occasion.



And here we thought Kim's 33rd birthday bash at Tao this Friday was going to be the major event of the week. Kanye sure figured out a way to top last year's chocolate cake! Congrats, Kimye!
