We don't recognise Jide Kosoko as her husband - Mrs Henrietta Kosoko's family says


The Funeral service for late Henrietta Emumeakpor-Kosoko slated for Regina Mundi,Mushin,Lagos has been cancelled.Not only that, her remains will also not be interred at Atan Cemetery,Yaba,Lagos as earlier released by the burial committee.

According to one of the members of the committee who spoke to reporters, the reason for the cancellation of the Lagos funeral arrangement was not unconnected with the fact that the Henrietta’s family from Delta state insisted that their daughter must not be buried outside.

The family of the late actress does not recognize Jide Kosoko as her husband, hence their decision to take charge of her funeral.

‘Henrietta is Urhobo woman from Delta state, where they cherish their culture. Jide Kosoko didn’t go to her family house in Delta to pay her dowry,’ the source said.

“It’s true that Henrietta’s remains will no longer be buried in Lagos. Her siblings and other members of her family have insisted they’re not burying her in Lagos as earlier planned by Jide Kosoko.

“I learnt the issue didn’t go down well with Jide Kosoko but there’s nothing he could do to resist that.”

Be inspired! Stella Damasus shares her horrible experience with an ‘abuser’


Stella Damasus - December 2014 - My Man - BellaNaija.com
Nollywood actress Stella Damasus in hr newest new blog post writes on “Dating My Abuser”.
Read it below.

A few days ago I was reminded that it was okay to be vulnerable and human. I seem to have forgotten how relaxing it can be to let it all out sometimes, not caring if I would be judged, laughed at or insulted.
I had to remember that it was important to share some experiences that may actually save or help someone who is probably going through the same thing.
My story begins on a fun and exciting Saturday night in Lagos Nigeria, where I attended an after party. I met a tall dark and handsome man who was introduced to me through a mutual friend. We spoke for a few minutes, exchanged numbers and then parted ways. I didn’t see or hear from him again until about 6 months later when I got a call on my way to a friend’s private birthday party. He asked where I was and I told him where I was going, so he wanted to meet up at the venue and that was fine.
He came and we continued the conversation that we didn’t get to finish the first time we met. After that night we started seeing each other more often as he would call me and say all the right things, then ask to see me.
So there I was feeling special, thinking that this stud must really like me so much that he had to see me about four times a week. My head was in the clouds because he came to me in a very honest and humble manner, he didn’t have much but was not embarrassed at all because of who I was and what I had. In my head I was thinking “Wow what a confident man”.
Needless to say, I fell for him hopelessly even against advice from everyone around me.
The relationship started and instead of taking time to really study and know him, I decided to give, give and give without thinking twice. I gave time, I gave energy, I gave money, I gave respect, I gave submission, I gave love, I gave honor, and I gave everything a woman would, just to make her man feel important and loved.
I gave money and everything that comes with making a man stand proud and feel wealthy.
I did this so much that even when you ask me a question or want me to appear somewhere I would ask him first or look out for his expression to get approval.
All this was to make him feel like the head, make him feel like the man, make him feel respected and know that his financial status does not make him less of a man, make him feel like he has his authority, and make him feel like he had the best woman any man could ever ask for.
Everyone around me hated the fact that I did more and more to make him happy and then they started noticing that I was loosing my happiness, I was loosing weight, I was loosing myself but the funny thing is that I didn’t even notice. Eventually, I got so angry that I started pushing my friends and family away.
He kept telling me that everyone around me expected me to do better in choosing a man just because he didn’t have money or a job. I bought into that and attacked everyone, telling them that they were being unfair and judgmental. So I made it my job to make sure he had something to do, he had a car, he had his own apartment, he had the latest devices etc.
All of this was to prove everybody wrong so they could see what he could become if we just gave him a chance and helped him.
After a while I started noticing that he became aggressive towards my friends, anyone I introduced him to, people I worked with etc. All of a sudden he didn’t like anybody anymore and didn’t want them around us. Then it all grew into calling me names at the slightest provocation even though I was not sure of what I did to provoke him. He would say things like “I am doing you a favor by being with you”, “how easy do you think it is to find a single guy like me to date a woman with kids”?, “you are too controversial to have a sane man stay with you”, “the only thing you have going is your career other than that you are not really worth it”.
There were stronger names he called me like BITCH and other curse words he would use, but I would rather not even write them.The worst part in all of this is, after hearing these words over and over again I got used to it and even started thinking that he was right.
When he was done insulting me, he would walk up to me and say “see what you made me do, you are the only one who can get me to this point, you know how much I love you so why are you turning me into this monster?”, and yours truly would stupidly start to apologize for making him abuse me mentally.
As far as I was concerned at that time, it was strong love and because he loved me madly, him getting upset with me, made me the monster.
I lived in this lie for a long time and was still too blind to see how awful I started looking and feeling. I didn’t even want to be seen too much so that no one would ask me if I was ill. People would come to me with proof of him cheating but for some silly reason I would make excuses for him. Out of fear of an argument I would not even want to confront him about it. I was so scared that I would ask myself “if you confront him and he leaves out of anger, are you sure you would meet someone else who is better? This was where i started using the phrase THE DEVIL YOU KNOW IS BETTER THAN THE ANGEL YOU DON’T KNOW. Silly silly phrase because the truth is, if you know someone to be a devil you are better off without the person.
Anyway, I stayed in the relationship until one day when he got upset that a guy gave me the card to his hotel because he wanted my band to sing there. He got so mad that he punched the wall in my study. When he did that, it was as if a very thick veil was pulled from my eyes. That was when I realized that the kind of anger that made him punch a wall can even push him to hit me since I was the cause of his anger.
I don’t know if it was the prayers of my mother or my best friend’s, but something gave me courage that day and kept urging me to get him out of my life before it was too late. I yelled for my home staff and they came into the study and I asked them to get him out. I told him boldly never to come near me, my home or my family. That was how God delivered me from my abuser. If he had not punched that wall, I don’t think I would have had the courage to end the relationship .
Sometimes, when women find themselves in an abusive relationship, it’s easy for others to judge them or ask them to just pick up and leave. Even though it’s the right thing to do, it’s not that easy when you are the one in the relationship. Abuse takes a stronghold on the victim and messes up their mental state. If the victim is not careful she may accept the blame and never find the boldness to leave.
It is also worse for those who are not financially independent.
Mental abuse can actually turn out to be worse than physical abuse because with the physical you can prove it, you can also see the scars and they can be treated. Don’t get me wrong it is extremely dangerous to go through it but with mental abuse, there is hardly any proof and no one can see the bruises or the scars so you don’t even know how or what to treat. It may affect you mentally for years and that is scary because it definitely affects any other relationship you may have, if ever.
THE ABUSER’S MODE OF OPERATION
1. Identifies your weakness and uses it to gain your love and trust
2. Tells you the things they know you want to hear.
3. Gets rid of everyone around you who has the ability or capability to help/rescue you
4. Makes you emotionally dependent on him
5. Feeds your mind with things that you will believe are beneficial to your relationship
6. Uses your emotions to control your mind and reasoning
7. Tells you negative things about yourself and repeats it so it sticks in your mind
8. Compares you to others just to prove that you are not worth it and not good enough
9. Gives you the impression that he is doing you a favor by being with you.
10. Blames you for things even when you don’t know about them
11. Yells and picks fights at the slightest provocation
12. Starts to get physical but begs for forgiveness, telling you that his love for you makes you the only person that can get him that mad.
13. Makes you think the abuse is your fault and you have to fix it
14. Intentionally allows you to loose yourself/esteem so that he can gain full control of your mind
15. Batters your mind so much that even when he hits you and there are visible scars, you find yourself making excuses for him
16. You become afraid of the unknown so you stay in the relationship because you don’t want to start over in a new relationship
17. He gets you to the phase where you become numb so you can’t even feel that something is wrong.
It continues like this until something really bad happens or the woman runs away.
The good thing is that there is help and support for women and men going through any form of abuse.
Please don’t die in silence and don’t believe that the abuse is your fault. Speak out and get help....

But on twitter, it was a different story entirely. See the tweets below






Terry G slapped Jimmy Jatt’s Protégé, Alex Ekubo came without his hand bag, and other things that happened at #dgooddbashndfunny







Last Sunday, Lagos fun seekers gathered last Sunday for the comedy show of Comedian Bash, tagged, The Good, The Bash and The funny.
It was held at the Shell Hall of Muson Center, the event was not just about comedy and music but also an evening of loads of fun. 
Entertainers like Ali Baba, Yaw, MC Shakara, Bovi, 9ice, Mr. Raw, Lil Kesh. Mc Accapella, Seyilaw, Omobaba, Bow Joint, Kenny Blaq, Okey Bakassi, Gordons, Akpororo, Terryg and plenty others were all there to spice it up.
Well, KFB was there too and here are some of other things that happened at the show....


Kenny Blaq’s stunt- The Budding comedian, Kenny Blaq pulled a stunt on the audience when he did a medley of some popular Nigerian songs in a humour. This got the audience reeling with laughter. He got a standing ovation after his performance. He was just screaming ' I don blow...i don blow" 



TerryG slapped DJ Jimmy Jatt’s Protégé- this happened during Terryg's performance, when his song was turned off due to his ‘misbehaviour’ on stage and efforts to get him off stage proved abortive.

He was kinda very high and was cursing the audience after so much failed attempt to get their attention. He was telling the audience that: “We go all go hell fire”, “Ogun go fire una”, “Mother F*cker,” etc, amidst falling on stage several times, as he tried to give an energetic performance.
At a point, people were telling him to go away. . . The DJ, then had to put off Terry G’s Music. When that couldn’t get him off the stage, the DJ started playing Olamide’s song “Durosoke” and this got him really angry. He reacted by unleashing a slap on the DJ’s face before storming out of the venue.



Like Lil kesh, like Olamide- At Yaw's Shalanga's drama and comedy show, Olamide who is known to be spontaneous, midway into his performance left the stage and went into the crowd to connect with the audience. He stood on the extension of the hall and got the crowd cheering and begging him not to leave them.
Lil Kesh, did same, as he came down from the stage and connected with the crowd. Danced with Ali Baba's wife, Lolo of Wazobia and others.


Doris Simon's priceless laughter- Our table was close to that of Nollywood actress, Doris Simon and we could notice that she was full of beautiful smiles even when jokes are not been said. We love her courage and glow through the night.



Fans couldn't have enough of Odunlade Adekola-He is always the love of all. Yoruba actress, Odunkola, almost took away the shine away from other stars on the red carpet, as his fans were all falling over each other to take photos with him. It was quite funny, but cool.



Lolo‎- humility on point!- She was just nodding and taking photos with her fans without complains, even as keep coming and disturbing her from entering into the hall.


Alex no handbag- Surprisingly, fine boy actor, Alex Ekubo didn't come with a handbag, just like he did at Shalanga. The Nollywood star strolled in with one of his male friends.




Yomi and his funny shoes- The fashion designer stepped out rocking funny shoes that looks so feminine. It was lovely though, but.....



The love between Ali Baba and wife- The two love birds were both having the best of time together during the show. they looked so much like new couple. 



Bash 10 years marriage and re-branding- The comedian officially announced that he has been married for 10 years with two children. But doesn't want to make it public because of personal reasons.
He also said he is re-branding and wants to be called Bash The Cash from henceforth.


It was a great show indeed! As we look forward to his next edition




Oh! by the way, Mercy Aigbe who was supposed to be the host of the show, came in quite late because she was made one of the judges at the 3Crowns milk, mum of the year competition. And the events clashed on same day!

Waje is trying hard not to let her daughter end up as a babymama like she did


Music star Waje  has opened up on some of her misgivings in life as a single mum, stressing that she would make sure her daughter doesn't repeat the same mistakes she made by being put in the family way outside wedlock.

In a recent chat, the mother of one said: “I’m a mother but I know where to draw the line. It is because I don’t want her to make the same mistakes I made. I feel like some of the decisions I made was because I was raised differently...

“Our parents taught us what they knew as the truth, but what you know as the truth might not be the truth. Another thing is that parents do not tell their children why certain behaviours should be avoided.

“For example, parents say, 'don’t drink because I said so' and not 'don’t drink because it is bad for your health'; but I’m learning that for the children of this age, you have to tell them all the reasons why they should not do certain things.

“While my daughter was growing up, I took up the reward method; you do good, you get good. There was a consequence for every action.”

Waje, whose daughter recently turned 17 continued, “There were many times I really prayed that The One will quicken his steps to make things easier. It did get too much when it is time to pay rent, school fees, and other miscellaneous expenses.

“I had my own share of pillow cries and made sure she doesn’t see it. Sometimes she could come asking, 'Why didn’t you and my Dad stay together?' And, when I first moved to Lagos, I couldn’t afford to have my daughter with me because I didn’t have a house; I was squatting with someone. There was a time I saw her like twice a year.

There were times she cried, mummy I want to come and live with you, but I couldn’t afford it till 2011. Yet looking at my daughter, I will be honest that she is a blessing.

And the blessing outweighs the challenges. I have learnt to be patient, more accommodating and to pay attention to details as a mom. I have also learnt to map out my priorities, because there are some things I simply cannot do as a mom.” 
She added that her baby-daddy wasn’t ready at the time she took in.



Children of billionaire oil tycoon Femi Otedola tell why they live in London


 Daughters of billionaire Femi Otedola have been featured in the DailyMail. 
 
Here are excerpts from the interview:
They're heiresses to a billion dollar fortune and currently lead a jet-set lifestyle enjoying all the trappings of wealth.But the daughters of one of Africa's richest men say they are not content being rich and famous in his shadow, and instead want to work hard to make names for themselves in their own right. Cuppy Otedola, 23, and her sister Temi, 19, are well-known in their home country of Nigeria because their father is energy tycoon Femi Otedola, worth an estimated £650million.

He was listed as the 16th richest man in Africa by Forbes in 2015 and has million pound properties in New York, Dubai, London, Abuja and Lagos.

His wealth has enabled his daughters to attend expensive private schools in England, have designer wardrobes and be waited on by ten members of staff.

As well as jet-setting between the opulent family properties around the world, they also enjoy spending time on their father's £7million yacht, have designer wardrobes and throw birthday parties that cost more than a fleet of supercars.

But the sisters say their privileged upbringing does not make their lives easy and they feel under pressure to match up to their father's success.

'I am scared of always been his daughter and not getting past that, for me that means not being successful enough,' Cuppy reveals on Channel 4 documentary Lagos To London, Britain's New Super-Rich.'I am still masked by my dad's success. If I didn't try and make it outside Nigeria I would be unhappy.'
Her younger sister feels the same and she is busy trying to establish a name for herself in the fashion world.Temi has set up her own style blog JTO Fashion and has 22,000 followers on Instagram.

She shares news on the latest style must-haves with her fans - many of whom are Nigerian - as she travels between the fashion capitals of Europe and shops in Dubai and London.

She said she feels her blog is 'acting as the medium between Nigeria and the rest of the world'.

Temi has been running her blog for the last year and said it has helped her establish a number of contacts with key fashion houses including Valentino.
She said she works hard on her blog because
 'my sisters and I were taught from a young age you can't live your life in someone else's shadow. Anything your family has done for you, you have to go and do for yourself as well.'I think that is why my sisters and I go out and try to do our own thing because we want to be respected in our own rights.'
Temi admits she wouldn't have been able to establish her blog without her father's financial support - but she sees the help he has given her so far as a loan she intends to repay.

She has a team of professionals to help her on her photoshoots taking pictures and filming her vlogs and has even hired top fashion photographer Kate Davis MaCleod to take some of her pictures.
 Cuppy, who DJs wearing £1,000 headphones covered in Swarovski crystals (of which she owns 15 pairs), adds that being the daughter of a billionaire also brings with it additional problems.
When she is working in Nigeria she needs to travel with a security team in a bullet proof car due to the risk of robbery and kidnapping.
 She said for this reason she feels much happier in London, where she has recently moved into her own apartment.
She said: 'London is bliss as I can walk down Brompton Road without a worry in the world. In Lagos I can't say "I am going out for two hours", I have to go with people, take security, my dad needs to know where I am.'None of my other DJ friends need security, it is kind of his fault so he has to pay for it.'.
Both of the sisters love staying in London which is why they were filmed for the Channel 4 documentary airing Tuesday evening which lifts the lid on the spending habits of Nigerian billionaires.

Speaking of why they love London so much, Cuppy said: 
'We go to Harrods a lot because it is convenient, they sell cars in there it is crazy.'We love The Arts Club, a super, amazing private members club, good food, good atmosphere.'
Temi, who is studying for a degree in art history at University College London, added: 
'We have done Dubai and Paris but always come back to London. You have the luxury shops, luxury cars, luxury houses, you can spend the money you have worked hard making.'
The girls certainly know how to spend money on throwing a good party. 
Cuppy recently had Marie Antoinette graduation bash at the lavish Mandarin Oriental hotel in London where her guests were served Michelin starred food on gold plates and enjoyed Champagne fountains and indoor fireworks.

Cuppy said she chose the theme because: 
'I feel like I am this young woman with just so much responsibility and Marie Antoinette was Queen Of France at a young age, plus we both love dogs.'
She said the party would have costs around the same amount as 'a few Lamborghinis' but she will have to top it on her wedding day.
Meanwhile, Temi had a similarly extravagant 18th party which was Moulin Rouge themed and attended by 200 guests.

The sister say they don't play hard in this way too often, preferring to be role models to young women in their home country and inspire them to work hard to achieve their goals.

Cuppy said: 'We are setting the pace for young women who are trying to get out of a generational trend of just going to school, be good, get a job, get married and sit there looking pretty.'

Without me, a party has no life! Toke Makinwa explains why she attends lots of events


In a chat with The Nation, Toke Makinwa explained why she loves to always attend events.
"Attending events is part of work as well. I do get paid to attend some events. When you grow a brand and it becomes a solid brand, people will want to associate with that and if they have some products or services that they have that would align with your brand; they invite you to be part of it. Just like people feel like your been at certain events might also add some glamour to it. I see it as work as well. I really don’t go out like that, in terms of having fun or chilling at home. I think I enjoy the fact that it’s a job and I am getting paid for it. I am the life of a party and that hasn’t changed. I love talking, I love to go out to listen to music and have a good time."

Moe Musa packs out of JJC’s house over Funke Akindele

Video director Moe Musa used to live in the same building with singer JJC who is dating leading actress, Funke Akindele. Musa lived in the Boys Quarters’ of the house.



Since the romance between Funke and JJC started, Punch reports they learnt that JJC,who is well entrenched in the entertainment industry has not been very comfortable with Musa’s presence as it might breach the privacy of the lovers.

Therefore, Musa had to secure a better apartment in the highbrow Lekki area to give the couple
enough space.

Responding to their telephone enquiries about the move, the cinematographer said his moving out was his choice. And that the development has not caused a rift between him and JJC whom he described as a brother.
‘If I move out, it’s because I want to move out; I am a man. Everybody has the right to move out when they want to. JJC is my family, he is my brother. If you are with your brother and he is in a relationship, are you not going to move?”
He also denied that he is in a relationship with Chocolate City’s Victoria Kimani.
 “No I am not dating her,” he said.
