"Marrying Ayo Adesanya was like boarding a 'one-chance' vehicle” ex-husband says

When asked what lessons he learnt from his relationship with his ex-wife, Movie producer cum actor Omogoriola Hassan told Encomium magazine that marrying actress Ayo Adesanya was like boarding a 'one-chance' vehicle.

Here is his comment un-edited.

"The biggest lesson I learnt was not to trust anyone. The person you trust may eventually disappoint. Then I was the greatest fool but today I am the wisest and happiest. Marrying Ayo then was like boarding a 'one-chance' vehicle. It was like I could never come across a woman I can love like that not knowing I was just being foolish. If not that she had a baby for me, I would have revealed a lot about her. Will just keep them to myself in the interest of our son. But I was agitated when I read that she wants to remove the tattoo on her hand bearing our logo - No Fear. She is free to do but what about the one on her ass where my name was written bold, Omogoriola Hassan? How is she going to remove that? That is stupid of her. If at all you don't like someone again, that doesn't mean you need to go to that extent. But believe me she's still thinking about me because if she's not she wouldn't be thinking about removing my tattoos on her body.”

Don’t blame Jonathan, Boko Haram started before him – Tanko Yakasai

Frontline northern politician and elder statesman, Alhaji Tanko Yakasai has stated that President Goodluck Jonathan should not be blamed for the growing activities of the Boko Haram sect in the country. He also buttressed that the emergence of Boko Haram could only be traced to former President, Late Yar’ Adua’s regime.

In further defence of Jonathan, he said the extremists had started terrorizing the country before Jonathan was elected president.

He dismissed the claims that the violent group would ceasefire if President Jonathan declares his intention not to run in 2015.

“Boko Haram started before Jonathan. Their leader was killed during the reign of Late Umaru Yar’adua. So, how can people attribute that situation to what is happening today,” he questioned.

Clint Eastwood and wife, Dina split after 17 years of marriage

Some things are not just meant to be. Clint Eastwood, 83, has separated from second wife Dina Eastwood (nee Ruiz) after 17 years of marriage, Dina confirms exclusively to US Weekly.

The former TV news reporter, 48, says that she and Eastwood remain close but have been living separately for some time. In fact, a source stated that the two actually split more than a year ago, in June 2012.

"Clint fell out of love with Dina a long time ago," the insider says, noting that the separation was "amicable."

Married since March 31, 1996, Dina and the Million Dollar Baby director have one daughter together, 16-year-old Morgan. Eastwood is also dad to seven other kids, though he has only been married once before. (He and first wife Maggie Johnson had a daughter, Alison, and a son, Kyle; the rest of his kids are from other relationships.)

‘Coza’s Pastor is An Adulterer’ –– Pastor J of God’s House, Abuja Affirms

For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.”

Isaiah 9:16 . Let them alone: they be leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. Matt 15:14

I was going to be silent on this sad, pathetic but true (in many shades) allegation against Pastor B and his popular and

trendy ministry. My silence was borne out of respect for the kingdom of God and things that pertain to God. But all this changed when I heard the horrific tales of people who had been through the mess of this blind man, and the fact that he had no moral motivation to deny or accept the allegation; all he showed on Sunday was a demented swagger and perverse talk.

Gabriel Amanyi is the weird singer that answers the stage name Terry G. The singer, who has a lot of street followers judging from his type of music, recently spoke with Vanguard on his lifestyle, music and other issues.

You released your new album few months back. How is the album doing in the market?

At least, it’s selling more than pure water because the reception at the moment, has been very encouraging. Most of the songs in the album are already hits and it’s doing well in the market.

What’s the title of the album?
The album is titled, ‘’Book of Ginger.” It contains over 21 tracks and it’s a diversified album where I took time out to showcase the other side of my career that my fans are not familiar with.

“I didn’t see myself falling in love in the house” –– Melvin

Melvin, one of the Nigerian housemate at the just concluded Big Brother Africa Reality show shares his experience in a recent interview;

Did you enjoy your stay at the Big Brother house?

It was a wonderful experience. I couldn’t have wished for another. It was just two of us that were chosen. It is an atmosphere that you learn a lot of things. I learnt a lot of things in three months that I have not been able to learn in the 28 years of my life. It was well worth it.

There was a nomination show that you were nominated for eviction yet you didn’t use your power as the head of house to save yourself and put up another person, why?

Ese Walter Speaks Again “my evidence’ is with a respected minister of the gospel”

If you are one of those calling for Ese Walter (the lady who claimed to have indulged in sex romp with Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo of COZA) to show an evidence to back her claim, well the lass has stated that she has an alibi.

“A copy of the ‘evidence’ is with a respected minister of the gospel should the christian body decide to deal with this issue now and that becomes needful,” she said.

In what appeared to be her last post on the sex scandal, the Delta babe took time to apologize to three categories of people whom she felt her confession might have affected:

“Firstly, my family: I don’t know how you guys aren’t sick of me yet

Secondly, ‘the body of Christ,’ my intention was never to cause trouble but to stop a rot I felt might spread and become worse if nobody spoke up about it.
