Despite his success in music, his love for the learned profession remains unabated.

An excerpt;

Would you trade your being famous for something else if you look at some of the bad side of fame that you have experienced over time?

Yes, I will love to trade fame with some silent life that does not arrogate too much attention to one, but it has got nothing to do with any bad experience. No matter what you do or who you are, there’s always a difficult time and life challenges that you can’t run away from. But I will really love to trade because I wish to be a lawyer.That has always been my dream.

In a recent interview, Nollywood actress, Ayo Adesanya reveals age is just a number and at 40, she is still ready to give marriage a try.

Here is an excerpt:

Another shot at marriage?

I was never married to Goriola Hassan. We lived together and had a child. He is nine years old now. Reconciliation? I don’t want to talk about that. I have moved on and I guess he has moved on too. I am still young (in my 40s) and will definitely get married someday. But I am still learning because there are many things I need to know

On fashion & beauty routine

I am a bit on the big side and I wear what fits me. I know I have good legs and show them off. I find my legs sexy and I wear things that show them off too. I wear miniskirts and shorts when necessary. I am lucky I have a good skin. I have used a couple of creams—some worked, some didn’t. My problem is my face because anytime I stay in the sun for too long, I break out! Unfortunately, I produce movies and could be in the sun working. Already, I am learning to deal with it.

Ifeoma who claimed to have five children out of wedlock, however, denied being involved in child trafficking but she was found with a baby, which she claimed belonged to her sister in Lagos.

ASUU Strike: Students Threaten Clamp down on Private Universities

Believing that the prolonged strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), which has paralysed studies in public universities in the country is being sustained because the children of influential people in the country are ensconced in the private universities, some members of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) are already contemplating attack on the private universities as a way of compelling the federal government to take a more urgent action in resolving the stalemate between ASUU and the government.

The students, operating under the umbrella of the NANS also staged a peaceful protest in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, to register their displeasure over federal government's alleged insincerity.

Speaking at the gathering Thursday, Mr. Steven Adara, a student leader in Ekiti State University (EKSU), noted that those in government and some prominent Nigerians were not helping the matter, as they were in the habit of sending their sons and daughters to private schools and overseas.

“I’ve always had a crush on Pres. Jonathan” – Kenya’s BBA Rep, Alhuda Njoroge

While President Jonathan is en route to Kenya for a three day trip to boost bilateral and trade ties between the countries, 22-year-old model, Alhuda Njoroge has announced her readiness to bed the president.

Alhuda, popularly called ‘Huddah Monroe’ took to twitter to inquire when Jonathan’s aircraft would land because she has always had a crush on him.

“So when is Jonathan landing? I’ve always had a crush on him. Nigeria, prepare for a step mom,” the Kenyan Big Brother Africa contestant tweeted.

I think someone needs to advise Huddah that there is a Patience somewhere who is not patient with issues of this nature.

Anyway, that brings back a familiar question - ‘why are Kenyan ladies crazy about Nigerian men?’
