Peter Okoye Pictured in a Hot Kiss with a Female Fan in Tanzania [PHOTOS]

At the weekend, Psquare were at the Leaders Club grounds in Dar-es-salaam where they put up a superb performance – aside their stage craft, one act caught our attention.

At the concert, Peter Okoye, who recently got married to Lola Omotayo gave a wrist watch to a female fan (not the first time though).

But that’s not all – Peter did something that some Tanzanian fans considered a slight on his wife – the singer was captured passionately kissing the female fan.

If Peter was a Nollywood star, it would be safe to say it’s all about acting; since he is not yet one – what do we say?

Nigerian Traders and Shop Owners To Be Chased Out Of Zimbabwe Come Jan 1 2014

Well, this time around the government of Zimbabwe is set to arrest Nigerian and Chinese retailers unless they close shop by the end of the year.

According to a report by newzimbabwe.com, the Permanent secretary for Zimbabwe’s empowerment ministry, George Magosvongwe, told a Parliamentary committee that the government would enforce regulations which reserve certain sectors of the economy to Zimbabweans on January 1, 2014.

Can African Man Ever Serenade His Lover? Jim Iyke Says Yes [PHOTOS]

The question has been asked several times and in various forms – how romantic is an African man? Can an African man serenade his lover?

Well, Nollywood actor, Jim Iyke seems to have provided answers to this recurring question.

You would recall the actor left the country on Tuesday, with a promise to take his girlfriend, Nadia Buari around the world. The couple are actually in Spain where they celebrated Nadia’s birthday. To make her day special, the pair had a private dinner at DI Costa, and guess what? Jim invited Spanish Mariachi to serenade Nadia, and what follows – she cried all through – can you beat that?

So I ask again, who says African men are not romantic?

Beyonce and Jay Z’s Marriage Crumbling, Bey Wants a Trial Separation

Jay Z and Beyonce married in 2008 and welcomed their adorable daughter, Blue Ivy, in 2012 — but on Nov. 13 it was reported that Bey was thinking about taking a break from their marriage because she thought Jay wasn’t putting the family first.

According to latinpost, Queen Bee wants a trial separation from Jay Z because she feels that he isn't fulfilling his duties as a husband and father to their 19-month-old daughter.

Jay Z reportedly visited his wife to have a 3-day mini vacation at a private resort to make their relationship better, while Beyoncé was in Australia performing for her tour.

"Jay Z's early November trip to Australia was not just a family getaway, it was a last-ditch effort to keep his marriage afloat," a source said. "Jay Z's decision to tour Europe at the same time as Beyoncé is touring Australia has caused serious damage to their relationship - damage that may be ultimately proved to be irreparable."
