Nollywood star, Akindele separated from hubby.

FUNKE AKINDELE AND HUBBY, KENNY OLOYEDE (ALMA-ROOF)

There is a latest rumour that the Popular crossover actress, Funke Akindele, may have been separated from her husband, Kehinde Oloyede.
The couple got married barely one year ago. 
A statement allegedly posted by her husband on Facebook reads: “It is with heavy heart that I am announcing the separation of me and my wife, Mrs. Olufunke Akindele. We have both agreed to go our separate ways because of irreconcilable differences. We are still best of friends and we would forever remain good friends.

Tonto Dikeh to risk 15 years in Jail.

TONTO DIKEH

The Nigeria Drug Law Enforcement Agency has said it is keeping tabs on more celebrities in Nollywood and the music industry for drug trafficking, abuse and links with drug cartels.
 The agency said the move became necessary, following its investigation into the activities of controversial actress and singer, Tonto Dikeh, for possible consumption of hard drugs.
Dikeh had on June 28, 2013, posted photographs of a wrap of hemp and grains of the weed formed into the letters, ‘Happy birthday POKO.’
She also posted a photograph of herself with the inscription, ‘Mi smoke ganja mi smoke weed while my haterz smoke ma gossip.’
Mr Mitchell Ofeyeju, the Head, Public Affairs, NDLEA, said that Nollywood stars had been prosecuted for drug-related offences, “We are beaming our searchlight on more celebrities with regard to drug trafficking and abuse.”
He added that, the arrest and conviction of Nollywood stars, Hassanat Akinwande, popularly known as Wunmi, and Tochi Uche have clearly shown that some members in the sector are vulnerable and susceptible to manipulation by drug cartels, “We have a responsibility to investigate and identify anyone involved in drug trafficking and use, we are deeply concerned when such personalities are linked with drugs because of their large number of fans.”
Noting the implication, Ofoyeju said, having celebrities dealing in hard drugs, their fans might want to act like them and this might have “ripple effects” on the followers.
The NDLEA spokesman said, “This will not be treated with kid gloves and any breach of the NDLEA act will not be condoned. 
In an act to tackle this, sniffer dogs had been provided as instrumental to major drug seizures in the country.
  “The heroin hidden inside woolen rug carpets imported from Pakistan was detected by the sniffer dogs, the dogs help to detect drugs that ordinarily are difficult to uncover, using normal search techniques,” he said.
 He further said the agency had not recorded any drug seizure on private jets, adding, “We are taking measures to ensure that drug trafficking cartels do not use such jets.”
NDLEA, which said it would investigate Dikeh, had hinted that the actress and singer risked a minimum of 15 years in jail for allegedly encouraging the consumption of hemp.
She, however, denied using the weed, saying the photos were ‘photo shopped.’

Incredible: Baby born with rosary round her neck in Niger.



There is this saying that in this world of ours wonder will never end, definitely it won’t. Thousands of people trooped to a private maternity home in Kotaworo area of Bida, in Niger state on Sunday to catch a glimpse of a baby girl who was delivered with a Muslim prayer Rosary (Tasabih) on her neck.

The middle aged mother of the baby, Adijat was said to have been rushed to a local midwife home near the residence of Pa Mohammed Bello Masaba, the Polygamist at about 2 pm on Sunday and after minutes of labour, she was delivered of the baby.

According the owner of the local maternity home, Alhaji Abubakar Baiwa Shasha who took delivery of the baby, “I was shocked when in the course of the delivery the baby came with a Chisbih on her neck. The baby was born with a black rosary at delivery point.”
“But I was surprised when after a while the rosary turned to white to the amazement of the few people around.”
As soon as the news spread round the town, thousands trooped to the maternity home shouting “Allahu Akibar; Allahu Akibar (God is Great) as they scrambled to see and touch the baby. ”

Efforts to get the father of the baby, Isah, a native of Loma in Kwara State were fruitless as he refused to talk to our Correspondent.
An Islamic scholar, Malam Idiris Ndajiwo said the delivery of the baby with the mysterious rosary “showed the greatness of Allah. The delivery of the baby today, in this town and this area (Kutaworo) is a big thing to us Muslims. This actually goes to show that Allah is in control of what happens to any one and in the whole world.”

Another well wisher and the Personal Assistant to popular Islamic scholar, Pa Mohammed Bello Masaba, the octogenarian super polygamist, Alhaji Muktari Salau Bello said, “we have never witnessed such kind of miracle before in this town, but we thanked Allah for what He has done. In fact what happened is a miracle and we are very happy about it”.

The baby was later taken to the Etsu Nupe’s palace where they were received and blessed by the royal father, Alhaji Yahaya Abubukar.
