Jim Iyke Arrested For Fighting In Ghana

 
Nigerian Nollywood actor, Jim-Iyke, may have gone back to his old ways of being in the news for the wrong reasons, as he was reportedly arrested in Ghana after being involved in a public fight.
According to a Ghanaian Entertainment website, OMG Ghana, the brawl took place at the Crave Café at Adjiringanor, East Legon, Accra.
Going by accounts given by the site, Jim who has relocated to Ghana after his spiritual deliverance by Prophet TB Joshua, arrived to café in a Sports Chevy car to meet up with another Nigerian who had earlier arrived in a Range Rover, apparently to wait for the ‘born again’ actor.
The report continued that the meeting turned heated as Jim and the friend argued back and forth over an alleged $10, 000, and the argument later turned nasty which result in a fight that spilled out into the street.
OMG Ghana also reported that as the fight raged on, Jim dashed to his car and was about pulling out a gun when he was prevented by the gathering crowd, while the other guy dashed off in his car only to surface with some policemen who arrested Jim and took him away.
The report concluded that Jim was later released and went back to the café.

“I Bought The Ring Myself” – Nadia Buari

  
A few days ago, news was all over the place that Nigerian actor, Jim Iyke, had finally proposed to Ghanaian actress, Nadia Buari, as the pretty lady was spotted with a ring on finger.
Speculation became rife that the ring must have been an engagement ring from Jim, but the actress cum producer has come out to say she is not engaged to Jim, stressing that she bought the ring herself.
Reacting to the rumours in an interview with Myjoyonline.com, Nadia dispelled the report, saying the media are always bent on making news out of nothing.
Stretching her beautiful, delicate fingers to show some rings, she said, “When you look at these rings, I think there are three of the same kind of ring; so is this an engagement ring? I think you guys want to make a story out of nothing.”
That is the end of the engagement story!

Actor Charles Okafor Finds Christ

Nollywood veteran actor, Charles Okafor, may have been out of the movie industry for sometime now but his new passion is what is sustaining him.
The actor who was one of the few stars that made the Nigerian home-video sector what it was right from inception, says he has now found the most important thing in his life and that is Jesus Christ.
In a recent interview, Charles Okafor confessed that the reason he has not been very visible in the industry is because he is now a born again Christian and that he cannot serve God and Marmon at the same time.
“I've been lying low for a while because I diverted into advocacy and human-angle films as a consequence of my new found faith. I’m still a career actor and a film maker but I am mindful of the scripts I do.
"A time come in the life of any professional when he seats back and takes stock of his professional issues and the legacy he wants to leave behind from the spiritual standpoint of view. You cannot just do any kind of film anymore if you’re going to be the light to the nations of the world. We must be seen in the context of the things that glorify God in totality.
"You see, you cannot eat your cake and still have it. You cannot serve God and serve Marmon. You must clearly define where you stand. I have put my hands to the plow so I shouldn't look back but that does not remove the fact that I’m still a career actor and film maker,” he said.
Praise the Lord somebody!

Meet Nigerian Model Who Was Once Male



Who would believe that this pretty Nigerian model and singer who goes by the name, Miss Sahhara, is a transgender and was once a male?

Well, this much she revealed during the World Transgender Day of Remembrance that she was harassed and jailed in Nigeria for being a transgender and she even attempted suicide but is now proud and free in the United Kingdom where she has found her likes and has been accepted.

This is part of what she wrote: “I am standing in front of the mirror looking at my reflection. Tears of joy trickle down my rouged cheek before going on stage. I am in tears because I just can’t believe how realistic my dreams have become. I am a woman!

“Living my life freely; accepted and respected for my achievements as a model and a performer. I did not imagine life could be this amazing many years ago after being released from a horrid Nigerian prison for being different.

“Then all I could think was I could die in this prison and no one will know or care. Being imprisoned felt justifiable, considering I was being punished for being ‘gay’ – something they assumed due to my feminine features and mannerisms.

“I wasn’t gay, I am a woman born differently due to natural defects. I was born male but my brain, gestures, features and carriage functioned as female.

“I dreamt of being free to be myself, free of insults, free of judgment and free from harassments. That freedom came when I moved to the United Kingdom, finding girls like me gave me hope of not being alone in my journey of self-discovery.”

EXCLUSIVE: Peter 'P-Square' Okoye's Family Suspecting Lola Omotayo of Infidelity?

Since on Sunday when Peter Okoye and Lola Omotayo had their traditional marriage, a lot of stories has been flying around as to the reason why majority of Peter Okoye's family were not present at the marriage of their very prosperous son.

At last, a report has come out, exposing the crux of the matter. See the revelations below...

According the NET: On Sunday, November 17, 2013, Lagos stood still for Psquare‘s Peter Okoye and fiancée Lola Omotayo as the couple held their traditional wedding ceremony, surprisingly elder brother Jude Okoye was missing. Social network has been buzzing.

The twins’ publicist Bayo Adetu said Jude was missing at the wedding because he was stuck in Ghana. Psquare had performed in Accra, Ghana at the ‘Glo and Bounce Slide‘ tour the night before. Adetu says Jude missed his flight and couldn’t get back to Lagos in time for the nuptials.

But a source who was part of another artiste’s entourage to Ghana for the concert says Jude Okoye did NOT travel to Ghana. ‘We didn’t see him, the twins were here with their band but we didn’t see Jude‘, a source said.


There are few instances pointing to the fact that Jude did not travel with his Pop star twin brothers to Ghana for the concert: Jude, a regular user of photo sharing Instagram never fails to post photos of their trip outside Nigeria – there were no photos of him aboard the airplane heading to GH, photos of the twins performing
at the concert.

One source asks: ‘If he was truly stuck in Ghana, wouldn’t he have even lamented on Twitter like D’banj?‘.

Instead Jude posted a photo of himself and Wizkid in the studio. The picture is believed to have been taken a
night before at the Mavin Records studio where he had been working with Don Jazzy, Dr SID, Phyno and others. Inside sources in the Okoye family revealed that Jude Okoye and a few other family members did not support their brother’s marriage to his baby mama Lola Omotayo. Some sources also also claim their late mother never supported the relationship too.

"Jude and some others don’t like her. They never gave their blessing for the marriage. Paul too, but he is his
twin. Other family members who were there were reluctant to attend. Jude didn’t go because he never supported the idea from day one", a family source tells us.

Some of the Okoye family members have even gone as far as insinuating that Lola Omotayo has allegedly
constantly cheated on Peter Okoye. It was gathered there have been demands for a DNA test to really
ascertain whether his children Cameron and Aliona are truly his. "It’s that serious, they claim Lola sleeps around with her so called ‘uncles’, they want a DNA test done, they just want to protect their brother."

This allegations have not been confirmed, and Adetu insists there are no issues, stressing that Jude was only MIA because he was stuck in Ghana. One of the couple’s friends also told us all these are ‘wicked rumours’.

‘Wicked, false rumours. Nothing can be more false and distasteful. They should leave them alone and let them have peace…’

Lola currently lives in a mansion in Park View estate, Ikoyi. The Okoyes are currently building their new home somewhere not to far from there. It is uncertain where the couple will make their home.
