Vixens are supposed to be female foxes – bad-tempered female foxes. But this collection of girls who make a living from dancing in musical videos are anything but female foxes.
They are beautiful, sexy, and probably endowed with enough skills to provide the audience with entertainment. As often as they are seen, and as raunchy and passionate as they appear, they do not rank in the same category as the music stars for whom they dance, at least, not by their bank account balances.
Showtime investigations show that an average video vixen or music video model earns a paltry 20-50 thousand naira. Those that are on the upper scale of the trade might come off with about N100,000, after a scrappy haggling.
Still, there are those that rate higher, whose fees even run into millions. But those ones are not professional video vixens. They are established stars who have made names from other areas of entertainment. They are called guest stars, not video vixens as many think. Some of these big stars are:

A 26 year old airport cleaner, Chibuzor Onuegbe is presently on Police trail for allegedly smuggling N242 million out of the baggage store of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) undetected.
Although, he has since relocated to the United Kingdom, three of his accomplice - Ifeanyi Francis, his girl friend Chioma Obinabor and his elder brother Kalu Faith Onuegbe - have been arrested.
According to Sunnews, the stolen money was packed in a bag in US dollar denomination totaling $1.5million which belongs to a middle aged woman (names withheld).
She was said to have deposited the sum at the MMIA baggage room on October 30, 2013 for safe keeping. She discovered that the money was missing when she wanted to pick it.
After all efforts to trace the money failed, she reported the incident at the Lagos Police Command headquarters in Ikeja where the Commissioner of Police, Umaru Manko directed the Officer In-Charge of Special Anti Robbery Squad, Abba Kyari to fish out the culprits.
Read how he smartly carried out the theft below:
One of the accomplices, Francis who claims to be an Engineering student at Government Technical College, Owerri, Imo State confessed that he never knew the content of the bag until he left the airport.
He further revealed he made N60million from the deal.
“Chibuzor told me that he wanted to smuggle out some abandoned luggage from the baggage store at the international airport. He gave me a bag containing old laptops and clothes. He also gave me a tag ticket which was attached to the bag. The deal was that I would get to the airport as early as 6am and move to the baggage store and drop the bag. I will tell the store keeper that I want to register the bag and will be back in evening to pick it up.
“As agreed on October 30, 2013, I went to the baggage store with the bag that already had a tag. The store keeper asked me to pay N300 for a day and N600, if I am to pick it the next day. I paid N300 and dropped the bag. Later in the evening as agreed, I came to the airport and picked the bag. When I saw Chibuzor, he told me that the deal did not work out, and that I will be repeating the same process.”
The next day as agreed, Francis went through the same process and dropped the bag. In the evening at about 7pm, he went back and picked the bag. “I discovered that the bag was unusually heavy. Since I knew what was on ground, I pretended that it was the same weight. It was easy to pick the bag because I had a tag and a ticket.
“I quickly moved and joined Chibuzor who was already with a taxi. I asked him what was in the bag and he told me to calm down that I will get to know. We arrived his street and stopped in an area where cars were parked. He opened the bag; it was then that I realised that it contained bundles of dollar notes.
“I was speechless because the amount was much. He told me that as a cleaner, he had access to the baggage room. All he did was to unlock my bag to which he had the key and transfer the bag of money into my own bag. He told me to calm down that there is a lot to gain and that he needs to contact his friends at the airport before the money will be shared. Those friends, he explained were the ones who gave him information that such amount of money was in the baggage room and the colour of the bag. He tried to close the bag and it was difficult, so he had to remove some bundles into another bag. We heard the voice of some boys coming towards us, so Chibuzor hurriedly left the spot and moved into their house. He forgot that he kept some money in the bag that I was holding. He rushed out and promised to call me for my share,” Francis further said.
I bought two plots of land, and built 6 blocks of flat. I also rented a nice apartment and furnished it to taste. I also acquired a pathfinder jeep. I do not know the whereabouts of Chibuzor, it was when they arrested me that I was told that he is in UK.” He concluded
The second accomplice, Chibuzo's girlfriend said “Sometime in November, I sat by his side on board an ITC bus heading for Owerri. We got talking and exchanged phone numbers. He also paid my transport fare to Owerri. The next day he called me and invited me to his hotel room, it was then that he told me that he is a business man and that his office is at MMIA, Lagos. We chatted and ended up having sex and when I was leaving he gave me N20, 000 and promised to keep in touch. Few days later, he called me again and gave me N50, 000 and our next meeting another N100, 000. We were so much in love and he told me that I am the kind of wife that he dreamt that God should bring his way. I was happy, because at 27, I should be married.
“Also during Christmas period, he gave me N230, 000 for my shopping. This year, he asked me to help him acquire a land in Onitsha. I was able to acquire 10 plots of land for N19 million at an area called ‘33’ in Onitsha.
He told me that he was travelling to UK and would go through Ghana. His explanation was that DANA airline goes to UK through Ghana. I never knew that he was running away. I thought he was real, till the police arrested me. It was at the police that I was told that he is a cleaner at the airport and most importantly that he is 26 years old,” Chioma narrated.
And then the third accomplice, Chibuzo's elder brother said "He came to visit me, gave N10 million, to acquire landed properties in Port Harcourt. He told me that he was travelling to UK to further his education and will be back very soon. I knew that he was travelling to UK, because he showed me his Visa. I am terribly sorry and willing to return everything that I got from him. If you were in my shoes, I’m sure that you will protect your family,” Kalu stated.
In an exclusive chat with HipTv, comedian Ali Baba has revealed that the first lady of Nigeria, Patience Jonathan lacks basic education and that is why her spoken English is so poor. He said this when he was laying emphasis on Girl-Child education in Nigeria. His words;
“The education of the girl child is very important because if Patience Jonathan were educated, we will not have the problem that people think we have with her not being able to speak English”.
He went on to say – “Having a primary and secondary education helps a child to develop (into) whatever the child wants to become later. It is obvious that Patience (Jonathan) did not get any of the above, or did not get it properly”. Continue below...
He concluded by saying that there are people like the First Lady teaching some other students now in our primary, secondary and even tertiary institutions and advocated that the problem be tackled from the root and a permanent solution be put in place, HipTV reports.
KCee has finally agreed he is married. Lol… not with all the bashing he got from comments and people in the know shedding more light on it. Kcee through his manager, Soso admits he is married, but the singer only wants to keep his family affairs private.
Is Duncan Mighty upset with his colleagues? The Port Harcourt singer in an interview with E-Punch spoke about why he still lives in Port Harcourt and not Lagos, and also exposed how most of his colleagues live fake lives pretending to buy houses worth millions of naira and which isn’t so. I built my house from the scratch and I am proud to say that, Duncan says. Read more of what he told E-Punch below…o ga lol
“I conquered the Lagos market with my first album and I think Nigerian artistes should be able to maximise fame and victory from any part of the country. The fact that I remain in PH city has attracted more entertainment stakeholders to the state, thereby boosting their popularity. I wish other Nigerian celebrities can do or say same about their states of origin.”
“A lot of Nigerian artistes’ lead fake lives. They claim to be what they are not, just because they want to meet up their peers and fellow artistes. I live in my own house (it has a swimming pool, lounge and studio) and I make bold to say I didn’t buy it. I built it from the scratch. But a lot of these artistes will claim they bought a house for N300m or N400m.
“But I didn’t spend up to that amount to build my house. If you have that amount, say N500m, you don’t go and buy one property. There are many things to do with money. They claim they have state-of-the-art cars, but that is not my priority. I have choice cars, but it takes a lot of money to maintain such cars.”
This man is doing great things, I wish we have more pastors like him. Prophet T.B. Joshua has made the dreams of a prodigious young student come true after sponsoring her to study a Masters Degree in the prestigious Harvard Law School, USA, to the tune of over $82,000 (about N13million).
Mary Jean Nleya, 22, shared her testimony during the church service at The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) in Lagos on Sunday 11th May 2014. According to her, she met T.B. Joshua several years ago as a visitor to The SCOAN and explained her educational plights to him: “I told him that I had no father that was taking care of my educational fees,” she said. “He informed me that I needed only Jesus Christ to be my Father and that He would take care of all my needs. From then on, I became a SCOAN scholarship recipient.” The gifted student from Botswana narrated how the cleric had been like a father to her morally and materially ever since. “If there is any word to describe the role Prophet T.B. Joshua has played in my life, it is like that of a father,” she emphatically told the congregation.
Motivated TB Joshua's teachings, Nleya received a distinction in Law in the University of Pretoria, South Africa. Thereafter, she had a successful internship at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands.
“When I was there, he told me that I should go for my masters in the best university in the world, which is Harvard University,” Mary-Jean narrated, adding that she was daunted by the prospect as it is a well known fact that “admission into Harvard University is incredibly difficult.”
Remarkably, the talented law-student received admission to the revered university. “I am thrilled and excited to tell you all today that I gained admission into Harvard University,” she declared to the joyful congregation.
But upon learning of the huge fees involved, she was doubtful as to whether the scholarship would be continued. “I ended up telling him (T.B. Joshua) and he committed to paying $82,123! I will be going to commence my studies any moment from now,” she gratefully remarked.
Mary-Jean advised youth to look for a ‘mentor’ who would inspire them in life. “I didn’t believe in myself enough and my potential to apply to the world’s best university. But because I had a mentor, a father to inspire and encourage me to apply, I drew a greater plan. I was inspired to stop living within a four foot ceiling and to reach for the top and make the sky my limit.”
In his comments, TB Joshua stated that she was just one of the many students worldwide who were receiving scholarships. “What you make happen for others, God will make happen for you,” he declares.
Boko Haram Terrorists Arrested By Citizens In Dikwa Say Abducted Girls Are In Sambisa Eight Boko Haram terrorists who came out to get food and items from Goym village in Dikwa local government, Borno state were arrested by visiting Civilian Joint Task Force men who came from Gwoza. The terrorists who came in a hilux truck with some motorcycles were arrested at 4pm Friday evening.
Upon interrogation, the terrorists revealed that the 234 girls abducted from Chibok were still in Sambisa forest and that they had been divided into three groups. They describe the camps in Sambisa as very large. They said they were sent by their leader to get items including clothes for the girls. The civilians hoped military support will be sent to Dikwa immediately as it is likely the terrorists return when they find their men were arrested. They also hope “the Americans” will act on this intelligence to rescue the abducted girls. Dikwa local government area is one of the local governments that is a boundary of Sambisa forest, and is near Gamboru-Ngala where 300 civilians were killed recently.
Maiduguri also remains on high alert as two Boko Haram members arrested by the Civilian JTF two days ago, one pretending to be a phone card seller at Tashai Kamla market told them Boko Haram was planning to attack and massacre men, women and children in the capital city any day now.

We have had several stakeholders from the automotive industry approaching us to set up assembly plants and spare parts plants in the country. I want to assure up you on behalf of the government that we will do everything to make sure the policy succeeds.” the minister said Meanwhile the first set of Peugeot cars assembled here in Nigeria would be reeled out next month, says Managing Director, Peugeot Automobile Nigeria Limited, Mr Ibrahim Boyi.
