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.

Mary J. Blige Is 42 And Looks Hot On Shape Magazine!

42 year old Grammy award winner, Mary. J Blige is looking fit and stunning on the cover of Shape Magazine. The songstress is gracing the December issue showing off her rock-hard abs in a white high-neck bikini. She looks unbelievably fabulous!

The singer who recently visited Nigeria revealed in the magazine that she is releasing a new holiday album and is determined to stay trim this holiday season. According to her, the secret to her powerful abs remains exercises.

“My main exercise is cardio,” she tells the mag. “The treadmill is fine but running outdoors gives me the best results. I try to log 6 to 8 miles a week. I could be in the worst mood, but when I do my cardio I feel much, much better.” 

Blige confesses that getting older has changed her body, but switching up her workout routine helps her maintain her fit frame. She sticks to a combination of strength training and swimming to spice up her fitness plan, according to Euroweb. However, no one should forget about diet!

Mary cut out sugar for three weeks before her cover shoot and usually follows a gluten-free, dairy-free and low-carb diet plan. The singer also testified that she cut out alcohol after Whitney Houston’s death.

“Others may be able to drink and have a great time, but it doesn’t work for me at this point,” she explains. “I haven’t had a drink in a year and three months. I had quit for a long time but started again about five years ago. I’m off it completely once more, and now I feel stronger than ever.” 

Blige’s December issue of Shape heads to the newsstands on Nov. 25. But can we talk about her abs?

Ghanaian super star actress, Nadia Buari, is not just satisfied with her acting career, as she has ventured into a new area with the release of her own feature movie, ‘Diary of Imogen Brown’, a movie where she acted the lead role, produced and directed.

The feature is based on real events including her real life love interest, Jim Ikye and her brothers, Majeed Sidiku Buari and Jameel Sidiku Buari.

The plot of the movie is woven around Imogen Brown, (Nadia Buari), a successful business woman who has it all; an incredibly beautiful daughter, a great home, a diamond business empire and a handsome boyfriend.

Unknown to her, her envious boyfriend, Tyler Graham, (Jim Iyke), who had been having an affair with two of Imogen’s closest friends, was only interested in her wealth.

After many failed attempts at persuading Imogen to marry him so he could take over her company, he decides to walk out on their six-year relationship.

In trying to get over the pain of heartbreak, she meets Stanley Coleman who introduces her to all kinds of drugs and, as a result, she becomes an addict. The movie also starred Ghanaian midfielder, Kelvin Prince Boateng.

Genevieve Nnaji And Kate Henshaw Re-ignite Rivalry At Peter Okoye’s Wedding

The age-long enmity that has been in existence between A-List Nollywood actresses, Genevieve Nnaji and Kate Henshaw, has not died down, as it found its way into the Arc Event Centre, Lekki, Lagos, venue of P-Square brother, Peter Okoye and Lola Omotayo’s traditional wedding on Sunday, November, 17th, 2013.

From what we gathered, the two super stars were seated on the same table but somehow, they managed to avoid each other and did not even acknowledge the presence on one another.

For those who know, the two ladies have been at daggers drawn for a long time and the beef seem not to be in a hurry to end.

They have always shown each other the cold shoulder anytime they meet. No one is sure what the bone of contention is between them but from what we hear, they find a way to be at arm’s length whenever any occasion brings them together.

Terrence Howard Gushes Over Beyonce’s Lap Dance

It’s been 9 years since superstar Beyonce gave a lap dance to Hollywood actor Terrence Howard but the actor hasn’t stop talking about it like it happened yesterday. He told Bravo’s Watch What Happens this weekend, that Beyonce was just trying to show off and he kept it cool.

Back in 2005, during the BET Awards, Beyonce stunned the audience after she pulled Terrence Howard up on stage and gave him the lap dance of his life –alongside the other Destiny’s Child members – to their hit song, “Cater To You”.

Howard dished out, in his interview with Andy Cohen that “Beyonce had an ulterior motive and was only trying to show him what he had missed after he had brushed off her advances and tried to holler at her girl.

Here we go;

Did you pop wood during that performance? No! I damn near broke the forest.

On a scale of 1-10, how were her dance skills? Her lap dance skills are like a 9 but her spirit and her intent… I tried to talk to her once but I missed that opportunity and she was like this is what you missed…That was 100. We had a meeting, I looked at her, she looked at me…there was the kismet but then I tried to talk to her girl.

Any chance of a hookup after the BET Awards? No! Jay Z would kill me.
