Tuface Idibia's Unstoppable album is sold for N1, 000

























In case you didn't know, Tuface Idibia's latest album, Unstoppable, is being sold for N1, 000.

And some people aren't happy about it.

They even went as far as opening a facebook account called - Nigerians say NO to Tuface Idibia selling his album for N1, 000...

What they wrote - This Group was created to make an awareness, concerning the outrageous decision by a popular artist in Nigeria called 2face selling his latest Album for 1000 Naira, considering the hardship in Nigeria, and knowing full well an average Nigerian cannot afford to buy it, what becomes of them?
***

What becomes of people who can't afford to buy Tuface's album for 1, 000? lol ..what a question! Nothing will become of them...is it by force? :-)
But anyway, what do you guys think? Is N1, 000 too pricey for an album?

2 yr old Indonesia boy addicted to cigarettes
















I'm hoping this is photoshop, but apparently a 2 year old boy from Indonesia is addicted to cigarettes. Ardi Rizal, who lives in the fishing village of Musi Banyuasin, in Indonesia's South Sumatra, was given his first cigarette by his dad at just 18 month old. He smokes two packs of cigarette a day.

His mum, Diana, understands her son has a problem. She said: "He's totally addicted. If he doesn't get cigarettes, he gets angry and screams and batters his head against the wall. He tells me he feels dizzy and sick."

But Ardi's father, Mohammad Rizal, is unfazed by his son's smoking habit.
"I'm not worried about his health, he looks healthy. He cries and throws tantrums when we don't let him smoke. He's addicted," he was quoted as saying.

***

WTF? Seriously the parents of this boy need to be arrested. This should be illegal....

Naeto C comments on Ikechukwu joining Mo Hits

















"While I was away, Ikechukwu joined Mo'Hits. Obviously you can expect me to be disappointed but I don't feel betrayed. It happened while I was away in school and to be honest, all I could do was to wish him the best. I couldn't say, oh no, you should stay with Storm Records, I didn't really know the reason why he left. But the Mo'Hits people are my friends as well. Obviously as he joined Mo'Hits, running WFA (World Famous Academy) was no longer a combined effort. It was just like a solo effort for me. WFA can't be dead because it was something that was created by Ikechukwu, and it is now a brand that needs patience. But the way I look at it, I am not with Mo'Hits, I am with Storm Records, so it is not going to work that way." Naeto C tells City People Magazine

50 Cent's new look










































Rapper, 50 Cent recently lost 54 pounds to gear up for his next film “Things Fall Apart”. He will play the role of a football player who is diagnosed with cancer.

He brought his weight down to 160 pounds from his original 214 by going on a liquid diet and walking three hours a day on the treadmill for nine weeks.


























The 50 cent we all know.
Totally love that he is so dedicated to his role...just hope loosing so much weight is not dangerous to his health...

"love dont worth dying for " Shan George




















"I don't know why my relationships don't work out. I have found love, I have stayed there and the men kicked me out. What do you want me to do? I am not going to kill myself. I am probably not a great person. They always fall in love with someone else and kick me out. I have gotten to the stage I can tell you I am a master in the heartbreak issue now. I cry for a couple of months and then I begin to cope again" Actress Shan George tells Encomium magazine.

Did Shan say "I'm probably not a great person" because her relationships didn't work out? Wow!
She needs talking to. So please talk...that's if you have any wise words to share. I'm sure there a few other ladies out there who feel like Shan feels...

MEET NOLLYWOOD ACTOR JIM IYKE’S FIANCEE? KENTURAH

keturah

ken

Meet Kentura, the lady who supposedly captured the Nollywood Superstar Jim Iyke’s heart, but wait there is more to this; Kenturah Hamilton is an American actress and according to Jim, she is the woman of his dreams.

Tutupie

Tutupie

But there happens to be a triangle going on here, according to the source, Jim might have had an affair with another lady called Tutupie. Well, here is what he supposedly said about that:

“It has been a very difficult time for both of us. I have apologized to Keturah profusely and told her that we are all human-prone to all the frailties and foibles. I fell off the wagon and betrayed her faith and trust in me, and for that I have told her how deeply sorry I am. This has been a teachable time for me. It is also a time for redemption and I dare say it has made me a better person. I am more perceptive, more in tune with the concerns and feelings of other people. I am happy that I have such a sweet and beautiful soul in Keturah and she has found it in her heart to forgive me. She actually flew to Nigeria to be with me in the heat of the whole situation, and that was very helpful. I have assured her that I will never betray her trust again”

Here is what Fiancee Kenturah had to say:

Of course, it has. Who would not feel betrayed if your man had an affair with another woman? But the question remains: do you walk away from a four year old relationship simply because your man cheated on you? I have decided to stay with Jim. He has apologized and confessed that he strayed.

Even though I was angry, I have forgiven him. He has also promised never to cheat on me again. It was a very difficult moment for us. If I had walked away from the relationship, I think I would have given the other lady what she had all along desired to fulfill: the breakup of our relationship. She knew all along that Jim and I were in a serious relationship. The Nigerian media know us, they have written about us, photographed us together, they have seen us at clubs and functions all over Lagos, Abuja and other major cities.

The other lady is in the media, and she knows all this, yet she went ahead and had an affair with Jim. She obviously wanted to break us up, but I would not give her that satisfaction.” On the accusation that Jim choked her, Keturah said “I asked Jim if he did that, and he said it was not true. I have told Jim that I can deal with the cheating, but if he indeed had put a hand on her, I would not tolerate that. No man as far as I am concerned should lift his finger on a woman. That is a no, no for me. The Jim Iyke that I have known for four years now, is incapable of hitting a woman, so I believe him.”

Asked if she still loves Jim unconditionally she said “Yes. As a matter of fact, I just came back from Nigeria. I went to be with him and to provide support during this trying period. No relationship is without challenges – the true test of such a relationship lies in the way and manner you handle things when you hit bumps on the way.”

This could certainly be a nollywood script, any takers? Wishing Jim Iyke the best. Hey Jim, we are still waiting on that fashion line of yours, what is the name again extraterrestial?
