We Didn't Mean To Hurt Jim Iyke - Helen Paul

Several month after actor, Jim Iyke, was allegedly ‘delivered’ at the Synagogue Church of All Nations, Lagos, the ripple has yet to die down, especially after comedian AY turned it to a skit.

Iyke reacted negatively to the scene, which also featured Helen Paul, saying, "People cross the lines sometimes for relevance. It disappoints if it comes from people you deemed to have self respect. Classless."

However, Helen, commenting on the situation, said the skit was just a joke and not necessarily meant to hurt Jim Iyke even as the video has gone viral.

"It is just a joke. I am an actress and a senior colleague called me for a job. I was given the script and I acted my part. We did not mean to hurt Jim Iyke. In the skit, I was portrayed as a prostitute but that is not what Helen Paul is about," she said.

According to her words, the alleged ‘deliverance’ was something that was highly discussed in the society and that was probably why he was mentioned in the skit.

The actress stressed the fact that the skit was purely for humour purpose and not malicious in any way.

Meanwhile AY refused to comment on the issue as he and Iyke are friends.

It has been provided by Saturday Beats that when the video went viral and the news broke early in the week, AY contemplated on a response but later said that he and the actor were friends and would settle their differences like friends do.

The said video had thousands of views on YouTube and Jim Iyke’s comment came a few weeks after the comedian’s channel was ranked as the number one most watched channel in Africa.

Radical Lawyer Mike Ozekhome In Acquisition Scandal

-Dragged to court for illegal takeover of socialite Anabor’s property

Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and human rights activist, Chief Mike Ozekhome is in the middle of a scandal that is threatening to blow out of proportion if it is not well managed.

The scandal, we authoritatively gathered is the alleged illegal takeover of Godwin Anabor’s Hotel in Benin City, the capital of Edo State. The gigantic hotel, we gathered sits on about an acre of land and it is located on a popular road of Benin City.

Although we gathered that the owner, Godwin Anabor made intention to sell the property, it was, however, gathered that the buyer (Ozekhome) took advantage of the state of mind of the owner as at the time of buying the property and as such under paid him. Anabor was said to be battling drugs use when the said agreement was reached.

The value of the property is said to be at about Three Hundred and Fifty Million Naira (N350million) but we were told that the radical lawyer bought the property for about Thirty Five Million (N35m) which is believed to be about ten percent of the worth of the property.

Presidential Aide Who Smokes Hemp

Gone are the days when smoking was deemed a secret habit by men, and women in the power corridor. 

And in spite of the inherent risks associated with smoking, some are still not giving smoking the axe whether in the open behind closed doors.

Such is the case of a top aide of the president at Aso Villa. Those who know him well say he is a chronic smoker of weeds. Despite the pressure to hide his habit, we heard that the presidential aide secretly puffs away in a heavy manner.

The man in question is the only attack dog of the president who hails from the North.

For fear of a negative reaction and of the stigma associated with the habit, sources say the man does his thing secretly at a very popular hotel in Abuja owned by an Ondo State born businessman.

The aide whose surname begins with the 7^th alphabet and ends with the 11^th, is among the long list of famous personalities who are considered ‘closeted smokers’, endlessly trying to keep their dirty habit under wraps. 

Jide Kosoko Tongue Lashes Elesho In Public For Calling Him Ex-ANTP President -Elesho Reacts

One of the days that popular albino actor Adewale Elesho will never forget in his entire life was Sunday, 29^th December 2013, as he bit more than he can chew and got embarrassed for it publicly by the on-going President of Association of Nigeria Theatre Art- Practitioners (ANTP), Prince Jide Kosoko.

According to information at our disposal, Adewale Elesho, Prince Jide Kosoko, host of other artistes and other top personalities were gathered at the end of the year party organized by oko oloyun in Lagos. When the MC anchoring the programme, Timothy Agboola otherwise known as Ereke ni shop called upon Adewale Elesho to come and greet his colleagues, fans and admirers at the event, while recognizing some top filmmakers, he addressed Prince Jide Kosoko as the Ex-President of ANTP. This, we learnt really infuriated Kosoko and made his action known to Jimoh Aliu who was seated beside him.

Unfortunately for Elesho, after he alighted from the stage, Jide Kosoko was also called by the MC to greet his fans, colleagues and admirers just like Elesho. But surprisingly, Kosoko who has already been angry with Elesho’s statement first, corrected the impression given by Elesho that he was not an ex- president, and further embarrassed Elesho calling him all sorts of names that he would not forget in his life.

To confirm the story, Global Excellence called Adewale Elesho popularly known as Enunjawaya on Wednesday 8^th January, 2014. He said ‘’ WHAT HAPPENED WAS TRUE. Jide Kosoko is my boss; I can’t reply him on any issue. “Oga le soro si omo ise, iyen ko se nnkankan’’ Just the way he talked to me and  I didn’t  reply , if oga Bello talked to him that way too, he won’t reply him’’.

In his own reaction, Prince Jide Kosoko said “ it’s true we were together at a gathering when he was asked to say hello to people, when he wanted to recognize me, he  said, I greet my brother Prince Jide Kosoko, past president of ANTP. Some members of the association who were there wanted to react but I told them not to. Unfortunately, the opportunity came for me to react to what Elesho said. And when he was on stage, he said he was joking about what he said. So when I was reacting, I said since he could not see well during day time, it might have affected his brain.

He continued ‘’It’s true I’m not running for the second time in office but it’s also true that we don’t have an elected  president of ANTP for this period and we can’t allow a vacuum, more so  that I’m yet to officially handover. For him to recognize me as the past president, his brain should be able to tell him that I’m  the most  senior person of the association for now. Apart from that, I’m an automatic member of the Board of Trustees, and member of National Executive Council.

The interest is for us to have a credible election. The issue in ANTP, leadership is not what to discuss now because it’s in court and there will be judgment on 30^th January. More so, remember that Elesho belongs to Victor Ashaolu faction.

As the year begins with lots of people engaging themselves in one sphere of entertainment and others, divas in the make-believe world are also increasing on a daily basis.

Which Do You Prefer-A Partner That Snores Or The One With Body Odour?

Body odour is a perceived unpleasant smell our bodies can give off when bacteria that live on the skin break down sweat into acids - some say it is the smell of bacteria growing on the body but it really is the result of bacteria breaking down protein into certain acids. 

Snoring is the vibration of respiratory structures and the resulting sound, due to obstructed air movement during breathing while sleeping. In some cases, the sound may be soft but in other cases, it can be loud and unpleasant. ILORI TITILAYO went on the streets of Lagos to find out what fellow Nigerians have to say concerning it, here are the responses below.

EKUNDAYO WILLIAMS

Both are bad, but I think I can manage  a partner that snores, whenever we are on the bed, I can play music and I won’t hear it but the body odour is not pleasant at all.

DAMILOLA AJAYI

The body odour is better, at least, he will use strong cologne and that will hold the odour, I cannot stand a boyfriend that snores.

KOFO ISIAKA

I cannot stand both, the odour can make me throw up, and the snoring can make me restless.

OPE OGUNBUMI

Both are terrible, my father snores and it’s very annoying that my parents do not sleep in the same room so I am not sure I can cope, the body odour aspect is also a big problem to me, so I do not prefer either.

TEMIDAYO SOLOMON

Jesus! I cannot stand any of them, because a man that snores will not do it quietly; it will be very loud to the extent that the children will be scared and will keep asking if their daddy used to turn to a toad at night, or used locus beans as body cream.

IBILOLA SHOBAYO

The one that snores is much preferable; snoring is only at night while body odour is for a lifetime.

 KAZEEM

I prefer the body odour, all I need to do is buy one strong cologne and make sure I replace it before it finishes, it’s annoying when you retire home at night and you try to relax and your wife starts snoring.

BUMI OGUNDE

Oh my! Seriously, both are not pleasant but I think I prefer the body odour; there is a remedy, as for the snoring, I love sleeping and I won’t be able to sleep when someone is snoring beside me.

FRANCIS OSENIGBE

I cannot stand the two at all, a woman who’s snoring beside me like a monster, and a woman that cannot pass without someone noticing her bad odour.

BIDEMI ADEYEMI

I think I can stand a partner that snores; I can keep the secret from my friends but the body odour is terrible; there is no way you can hide that.

ADEKULE ADENIRAN

A partner that snores is better than the one with body odour, body odour is a bad thing, imagine when you are with your friends and your girlfriend steps in with her body odour.

GOKE SODEKE

I prefer the body odour, I cannot stand a woman that snores because I easily get frightened, I can wake up in the middle of the night and throw her out of the window.

JESSICA ASIKA

I cannot stand both, I do not like smell and I don’t like anything that will disturb my sleep.

AKEEM MABIFA

Both are not nice, but I think I prefer the snoring because there is no remedy to body odour.

ETTY UDOH

I will rather stick to a partner that snores because I can endure; I can always adjust his neck at intervals, but body odour, I will faint.

DELE OYEBANJI

I can endure snoring but body odour is out of it; if she steps in, the atmosphere will change automatically.

The Men You Should Never Date Or Marry

Men out there complain of not getting the right girl to marry as if they are clear of faults, they are also problematic and at same point, could be a total waste of time. I have been able, based on my experiences, come up with the types of men you should avoid if you want a serious relationship so; sit tight in your chair, get your dating journal or diary, and pen and let’s take notes.

1.  Mama’s Boy: These types of men have a very close relationship with their mother, probably due to the death of their father at an early age or divorce. He’s caring, understanding and loving, his mother’s influence not only influences his career decisions but at some point, his love life. It’s not easy for such men to choose between you and his mother, it’s better then that you bow out while the motion is loud.

2.  The Toxic Bachelor: This dude is very smart, charming and well-mannered and can win you over with sweet dictions. He will also say that he has not found his Mrs. Right yet in that way, giving you high hopes, he’ll not introduce you to his friends and family because he is not prepared to get serious.
