                                 Feelers emerging from the entertainment circles in Nigeria indicate that the celebrity couple, Prince Eke and singer Gift Uwame, aka Muma Gee, may have decided to pack up their over four year-old marriage and go their separate ways. Evidence that the marriage was heading for the rocks emerged recently when Eke posted a message on  Instagram  complaining that his wife had travelled to Abuja and abandoned their three children to him alone to care for. The Nollywood actor added, rather bitterly, that she was doing nothing in the Federal Capital Territory except hang out in night clubs in company with different men. Reacting to the post, Muma Gee had claimed that she was in Abuja on an official assignment and not having fun as he suspected.  But, in a recent development, the singer’s husband reportedly told a popular blog that their marriage had un...

Students and workers of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, Oyo State, which was shut about seven months ago, have been told to prepare for resumption by month end. Oyo State Governor Abiola Ajimobi, who announced this on Friday, said he had closed ranks with his Osun State counterpart, Rauf Aregbesola, to break the logjam in the interest of stakeholders. LAUTECH is jointly owned by Oyo and Osun, the two states that constituted  old Oyo State before Osun was carved out in 1991. A statement by the governor’s Special Adviser on Communication and Strategy, Yomi Layinka, said the decision was reached after Ajimobi’s meeting with the national, zonal and state leadership of the students’ unions on Friday evening. The team was led by the Senate President of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Salam Olajide; General Secretary, NANS, South-West zone, Olanrewaju Oloja and General Secretary, Joint Campus Committee, NANS, Oyo State, Farouk Mus...

There is no gainsaying the fact that actor, Yemi Solade, has a beautiful wife. His better half used to be an actress known as Hannah Marsh, and a lot has been written about their union. However, many do not know how the affair actually kick started, but Yemi revealed that much recently on a television show. When asked to recount how he met his wife, he said, “My wife actually toasted me. I had previously been married, but my first wife left me and went abroad. I met my current wife on the set of Wale Adenuga’s  Super Story . God indeed has a sense of humour because I met two half-castes that year, Lilian Bach and Hannah Marsh. Lilian played my wife, while Hannah acted as my secretary in that particular production. I liked Hannah, but I initially did not want to get involved with half-caste ladies because I felt they are expensive to maintain, and only rich men can handle them. However, we met again and unknown to me, she had also been eyeing me, so she asked me to bring my phon...

Singer, producer and video director, AbdulRasheed Bello aka JJC Skillz, talks about his career and marriage to popular actress and producer, Funke Akindele-Bello When was the first time you knew you wanted to do music? I think I have always wanted to do music from when I was a young boy. I used to have an area group in Kano, and we used to do  Apala  music from door-to-door. I actually thought I was going to become a Fuji star. We’d go to people’s houses, knock on their doors and when they opened, we made them laugh by singing some funny songs. From then, I knew I wanted to become an entertainer. When I moved to England at 14, I became a hip-hop artiste. Meanwhile, I formed my first group in school called Secret Weapon, and it has always been that way. I was always forming one group after another, until I had a successful group called Big Brovaz signed to Sony. How did you coin the name JJC? Back then, I had a heavy Nigerian accent, and everyone used to laugh at m...
