Meet OJB Jezreel's Family - Three wives and Eight Children

Before his illness and miraculous recovery, Babatunde Okungbowa akaOJB Jezreel‘s family never came under the light. Sure, we were all aware he was legally married to three wives but other than his first wife Mabel, we never really knew who the others were or how many children they had for him.

Investigations have revealed the music producer is blessed with eight children (yup, I guess we can all cut2face Idibia some slack now). Our correspondent gathered that OJB is actively involved in the lives of his wives and children and they all seem happy with their husband.
The entire family was involved when he battled ill-health. And it was his eldest wife, Mabel, who eventually donated a kidney for the producer’s transplant.

2face Idibia Welcomes Baby Number Seven

 2face and Annie Idibia have welcomed their second child together – a baby girl.
Annie Idibia delivered a bouncing baby girl in the night of January 3, 2014 at an hospital in Atlanta, Georgia, US. Her manager Naomi Adenuga confirmed the news through her Twitter. ‘Thank God for safe delivery …. Princess Idibia is here*‘, she wrote a few hours ago.
Annie travelled to the US back in November 2013. She has been in the company of her mother and four-year-old daugther Isabella.
Meanwhile, we have confirmed that 2face was not with Annie in Atlanta. The Pop singer who had a busy performance schedule during the Christmas/New Year festive period is currently in Lagos, Nigeria. A photo on Instagram shows him partying with friends at his newly opened Club Rumors night club located at FESTAC, Lagos.
2face is now blessed with seven children – two girls with wife Annie, two boys with baby mama Sunmbo Ajaba and two boys plus a girl with his other baby mama Pero Adeniyi.

Bimbo Akintola cries out: I Don't Need A Husband!


 Since hitting the limelight in a big way with ‘Out of Bounds” alongside RMD in the 90s, Bimbo Akintola has become a big name who does things in a big way. You don’t approach her with your scripts unless you have big plans about it. Controversial, some might say, but Bimbo describes herself as easy-going but definitely not when falsehoods have been peddled about her as a story running wide that she is in desperate need of a husband. Excerpts.......

Why did you decide to party with the kids?
Heart of Gold Hospice, that’s why. There was Compassionate Children’s Home, there was Heart of Gold Hospice and one other one here today. But it’s actually because of Heart of Gold, I go to Heart of Gold on and off. I have been going there over the years and it’s heartbreaking when you go there and you see those children, it’s not just a regular orphanage, it’s a hospice. And what Aunty, the woman who runs the place does is that she makes sure they get the surgery they need to stay alive. It’s amazing, you need to go there and see for yourself what it’s all about.
What do you hope to achieve at the end of the day?
What I want to do at the end of the day is to raise money for this orphanages, especially the hospice, they need money because these children go for surgeries regularly, you can see that some of the children that came here today have special needs.

You are doing more of Yoruba movies these days than English movies compared to your early days in acting, why is that so?
I do English movies when I see good scripts. Hoodrush was in the cinemas this year. Next year one or two will be in the cinemas.
Are you working on any project at the moment?
I just finished Golden Penny Pasta Children’s Kitchen, I anchored that. Right now, I’m on break, finally.

Why Rev. Chris OKotie decided to Splash N110 Million on New Cars

The Household of God Head Pastor recently acquired a Rolls Royce Phantom said to be worth N80m and a Range Rover Autobiography worth N30million. He said he bought these cars to celebrate 27 years as a pastor and 30 years as a born again Christian. Well, below is what he describes as a justified reason for this waste and show of wealth.

Close associates to Chris Okotie disclosed that the controversial televangelist and ex-pop star was indeed in the spirit of celebration.

“Having abandoned music where he had already become a super star to serve God, Pastor Okotie is simply saying he didn’t miss anything in the world. 30 years on, he is a multi-millionaire; he has some of the most expensive automobiles in the world and lives in opulence with properties worth hundreds of millions of naira.  So, he has every reason to celebrate his dedication to God. In fact, he is celebrating the glory of Christ in his life over the years.” See more photos after the cut.......
