'I can be 70 & still be single if I don't meet the right man'-Bimbo Akintola

"I will be 70 and still be single if I do not believe honestly that I have found the right person. We are all on earth as individuals. Some of us will marry; some of us will not. Some of us will have children, some of us will not. So I never judge myself according to other people's standard.

Marriage is such a huge deal and I'm not in a hurry to go there. That's the truth.

GHANAIAN superstar and sex symbol, Van Vicker is a man known and respected for his looks and talent both in Nigeria and Ghana. Since arriving on the landscape of acting he has left a mark, big marks, steering roles after roles his way. Based on his popularity it is somewhat out of place to hear of the actor chasing his colleagues for contacts. It was almost like a joke or better still, like someone else operating his Twitter account when the actor tweeted colleagues to send him their Blackberry pins and numbers. The actor claimed he lost his contacts and therefore needed to get the contacts he had back.

He tweeted Uche Jombo and Omotola Jalade Ekeinde but the real drama was when he tweeted Uche Jombo who replied he must be joking. The one he tweeted Omotola reads “Omosexy DM for BB pin pls, I lost all my contacts”.

How Prezzo left Nigeria without seeing Goldie - What a Mission impossible!

It was a frustrated and dejected Prezzo, Kenyan representative at the Big Brother Star Game that left Nigeria last week after four unfruitful days of searching for his Nigerian girlfriend and housemate, Goldie.

Hopes of UK fans of watching rave-of-the moment hip hop sensation, Davido perform at HMV Apollo was dashed last week as the musician was forced to cancel his trip at the last minute.
However, Davido would later release a statement citing the non-approval of a work permit by the British High Commission in Lagos as the reason for not making the trip. The denial of a work permit to the Dami Duro crooner who is a frequent flyer to the UK has gotten observers and fans worried.
Davido’s statement read, “I regret to let you know that I will not be performing along side my most respected big brother and friend D’Banj at the scheduled show of August 27, in London.

The long wait for Waje’s debut album ‘Words Aren’t Just Enough‘ can’t get more annoying than it is right now, little wonder why she has released two new singles to suppress our ‘anger’.

Oko Mi is her freshest single and is a beautiful love song in Yoruba and English. Her other song 'I wish’ is the recently leaked single that has become popular overnight. It explores a woman whose heart has just been broken and is trying to let go. ‘I wish, I didn’t have a heart, Na only stone fit dey inside…..’ It’s a beautiful song. Looks like Waje is becoming our answer to true Naija soul music

Popular Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has sensationally revealed that the sudden end to her smoking addiction came through the prayers of Pastor T.B. Joshua via his Christian station Emmanuel TV.

Dikeh, who rose to fame after becoming the runner up in the Nigerian reality show, ‘The Next Movie Star’ in 2006, had garnered a controversial reputation in Nollywood for being a heavy smoker. According to Dikeh, she started chain-smoking at the age of 13 and there seemed no signs of the habit waning. When questioned about her smoking in an interview with Nigeria’s Nation Newspaper early last year, the Rivers State born star said, “If I want to smoke, I handle a stick of cigarette and I smoke it hard. It is my life I can decide to smoke myself to hell. It’s nobody’s business.”
