The Ghanaian actress had a very revealing interview with Bella Naija today where she opened up about her relationship with Iyanya and how much he hurt her. Excerpts:
BN: How long did the two of you date and how would you describe the relationship?
YN: We dated for 7 to 8 months. We had something and I thought it was
special, like he was a wonderful guy but it was all lies. He had other
girls and other things he was doing. Aside the actress that was in the
picture, there were a lot more. That is how bad it is. We were in a
relationship and he lied throughout and he was able to do all those
things because I wasn’t living in Nigeria. But aside from the distance, I
feel if you’re a genuine person and you’re loyal, you would still not
do that.
BN: Is this actress you’re talking about actually Tonto Dikeh?
YN: I feel it’s disrespectful to start mentioning other people’s names. I am
talking about Iyanya because we had a thing, I don’t want to bring in a
third person. There were a lot of names that
HONG KONG – The United States government hacks Chinese mobile phone
companies to gather millions of text messages, former CIA agent Edward
Snowden said in a report published in the South China Morning Post
(SCMP) on Saturday.
The former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor has been hiding
in Hong Kong since revealing a massive electronic spying programme by
the US and was charged with espionage on Friday.
The latest claim comes after Snowden told the SCMP that network
backbones in China and Hong Kong were targeted hundreds of times by the
NSA.
“The NSA does all kinds of things like hack Chinese cell phone
companies to steal all of your SMS data,” the former CIA technician said
in the latest report published on the SCMP’s website late Saturday,

Seven Kenyan officials and five
airline crew have been detained in Nigeria for the past two weeks after
they travelled to deport Nigerian businessman Anthony Chinedu and others
who were flown into the country on a private chartered jet (East Africa
Safari Express Airline). The Kenyans and one Swedish national are said
to be held at the Park View Astoria in Ikoyi.
According
to the detainees, Nigerian authorities have insisted the Kenyans will
not be allowed to fly out without the three men Kenya kicked out on drug
trafficking claims.
Anthony Chinedu has lived in Kenya as a
businessman for the past 18 years. he has been embroiled in a tussle
over control of property with his estranged Kenyan wife Joyce Akinyi.
The Kenyan government deported him on the grounds that he was involved
in “dirty business”

An Ogudu Magistrates’ Court in Lagos
on Friday struck out an application for the withdrawal of a N710, 000
fraud charge against a Choir Director of the Christ Embassy Church,
Lagos.
The
police had on May 15 arraigned the director, Sunday Eboh, who allegedly
defrauded another member of the church, David Egaifa, under false
pretences of helping him to purchase a Toyota bus.
Chief
Magistrate Omolade Awope struck out the application when Egaifa
exhibited ignorance of implications of the withdrawal. The complainant,
who had earlier agreed with the accused to withdraw the suit, told court
on Friday that he was not properly enlightened on the implications of
withdrawing the case.
Mr. Egaife made this known after the
prosecutor, Corporal Adekemi Adeniran, told him that he would not be
able to bring back the case once withdrawn. “Madam, it is during this
section that I learnt I can’t come
The outlawed Boko Haram sect has
literarily sent residents of Bama and Gwoza communities running after
issuing threat letters of an impending bloodbath in the next seven days.
The
sect has, in several threat letters said to be written in Kanuri and
Hausa languages, also warned resident of the towns, who are civil
servants, to resign their jobs and burn their employment documents or
risk being consumed by the impending war. The two border towns of Bama
and Gwoza have been cut off since the declaration of a state of
emergency with soldiers blocking the roads linking the town to the state
capital, Maiduguri.
Escapees from Bama were forced to take bush
routes through Dikwa, a town 60km away from Bama and 150km from
Maiduguri to get to the state capital. The escapees said they paid at

This shiny object is a custom Bugatti Veyron owned by rapper Flo Rida, real name Tramar Dillard. The $1.7 million approx. 273 million naira car started out life in a pearlescent white hue but Flo Rida eventually got bored of this and went with a chrome finish. Clearly, just owning a Veyron wasn’t attention grabbing enough for the rapper.
But Flo Rida’s lust for shiny cars didn’t end there. Perhaps determined to outdo the owner of this red chrome Veyron, Flo Rida recently called Florida’s Metro Wrapz and requested an even tackier flashier finish: gold chrome.
FORTALEZA (AFP) – Buoyed by their record-breaking 10-0 rout
of Tahiti at the Confederations Cup, Spain approach Sunday’s final Group
B fixture against Nigeria needing just a point to secure a place in the
semi-finals.
Thursday’s thrashing of the Pacific islanders made Spain the first
team to win a game by a 10-goal margin at the finals of a FIFA
tournament, and only the second to score 10 after Hungary’s 10-1
thrashing of El Salvador at the 1982 World Cup.
Fernando Torres scored four goals, and David Villa three, but perhaps
the most pleasing aspect for coach Vicente del Bosque was the fact he

Pictures of the wedding between John Kumuyi and Love Odih surfaced some
days ago after their wedding last weekend and has been raising a lot of
furor since then. I honestly had no idea when I posted
them as I do some other celebrity wedding photos how controversial they
would become. And it wasn't just on this blog. Almost everywhere I saw
the photos, especially on Facebook where I got the picture above.
People are in two camps, some blaming the couple and the GO of Deeper
Life for flouting the rules of the church concerning how a lady should
dress, rules which the GO himself made and continues to enforce for
other members of the church. Others defend the new wife as being modest
enough.
A sample of the debate from the comments on the post goes as follows;
It was founded in 1998 when the then Military government lifted its ban
on partisan politics. And for 14 years, it has controlled the nation’s
political landscape. But issues in the party in recent times have caused
apprehension over its chances to cross 2015.
Has the end come for the ruling Peoples Democratic Party? Below are the
events that may make or mar the party’s chances in the 2015 general
elections...The question whether the end of PDP has come is one that bigwigs of the
party like President Goodluck Jonathan would not dare give vent to.
The least they can admit is that the party is going through some
crucibles that will make it stronger ahead of the 2015 general
elections. But in the reckoning of the opposition, PDP might just be on
the verge of

We African youths wish to ask DSTV to give us a BBA where African Youths
are rewarded for creativity and hard work, thereby promoting
entrepreneurship and not this morally-loosed show where single parents
who can’t keep their relationships go into the house to show their
sagging breasts and addiction, mixed-up with ill-mannered people and get
rewarded, producing international prostitutes and gigolo. Haba!
Promoting immoral sex is “unafrican”. The BBA is all about immoral
behaviour and that is why it attracts lots of fans. You can’t be making
money at the expense of your viewer’s lives. If you don’t do something
about this, a time will come when the seeds you are sowing into the
lives of African youths will germinate to hunt
Sex toys seem to be everywhere these days. But the question is: are they
advisable and healthy? Is there any harm in using sex toys?
My husband would only enjoy sex, get a good orgasm only when he had used
a hard banana on me that is lubricated with menthol during foreplay
before he starts off the actual thrusting in and out...
I do not mind initially but now it has become a habit. He says it is
homemade sex toys that he likes experimenting with because of their
textures. He says that without them, he cannot get sexually connected to
me. Do sex toys really promote sexual harmony? How many times per day
can we use them and how long can someone become addicted to sex toys?
Are there bad and good sex toys? Are there any side effects from
their use? Is there any harm if I use a carrot instead of a
dildo/vibrator? My friends introduced me to some form of natural methods
like the use of

the past few years, I have dated so many stingy men that would not give

It's no secret that Kelly Rowland's single "Dirty Laundry" was all about her jealousy toward Beyonce's solo success, but it also turns out the title works perfectly for Beyonce's most annoying trait.
During an appearance on Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live" with Andy Cohen Thursday night, Kelly was asked to tell "one thing that was annoying about Beyonce,"
to which she revealed that her former Destiny's Child bandmate is,
simply put, "a slob." It was said with a giggle before the 32-year-old
artist explained a bit further. "If you walk in -- maybe she's gotten
better since becoming a mother -- but she's got a lot on her

shook hands with President Goodluck Jonathan.
The suspects, including the co-owner of Amigo Supermarket and

Once upon a time, news from my family in
Nigeria centered on the dead or dying. Tired of all the negative news, I
sent out a fatwa: give me news of deaths and risk instant death! My
folks knew I didn’t mean literal death. They also knew the sharpness of
my tongue. A family member once said (unfairly, I might add) that if I
were goat meat, he would eat everything except my mouth! I didn’t mind
that ‘yabis’ because the avalanche of negative family news ceased.
I remembered a family member recently
and realised I hadn’t heard about her in ages. When I asked my mother,
she said the woman had since passed away. “Why wasn’t I told?” I asked
with mild indignation. My mother retorted: “I thought you didn’t want to
hear news about death.” Touche! I can’t eat my cake and have it, can I?
Despite that, I continue to discourage
news about deaths because they often extract a high (emotional and

problem between the Governor of Rivers State and Chairman, Nigeria
Governors’ Forum, NGF, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi and the Peoples

This was even as Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta State said
yesterday that the lingering problems in the party between some

Uduaghan spoke in an interview with newsmen in Abuja at the end of a

democracy in the country, even as he was quick to add that the PDP was
not in any way threatened by the

He agreed that I should come over and do my transaction from their house. It was raining when I got there so I got socked, especially while trying to get their keys from a neighbour.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West named their baby daughter North West. Without hours of the news breaking, the name had become an Internet punchline.
It didn't take long after Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's baby's name, North West, was leaked on Thursday night before Twitter erupted in jokes. From the obvious cheap shots ("Did she give birth to a baby or a
compass?") to simple photos of the extinct airline carrier by the same
name ("First picture of Kim and Kanye's new baby!"), within an hour of
the announcement, "North West" was a hot topic for online comedians.
In fact, there are already several North West parody Twitter accounts, including @Its_North_West ("You
Every
relationship that's not clearly defined is an absolute waste of years
and commitment. So many adults claim to be "in a relationship" without a
logical purpose. It's always a disheartening experience, if after so
many years of making a relationship work, you then discover that the
relationship has a future but without you in the picture. Being in a
supposed serious relationship with your partner must involve visible
signs of commitment and long-living. At that point, you can't afford to
be disappointed; you should know what you represent in the relationship.
If you've been together for years and it seems there's no plan of
having you-two, living together-forever, here are obvious signs to
observe and critically consider.

There have been speculations for months now that Ghanaian footballer and
Chelsea star Michael Essien is married to his publicist, Akosua Puni, a

mere speculation until last week Friday when Akosua introduced herself

organized by Michael Essien.
Akosua was in charge of the event and everyone who worked with her
referred to her as Mrs Essien. The Ghanaian showbiz personality and

advise Jang to stop parading himself as the NGF chair.
Oshiomhole said: “When the facts are so clear, Comrade President of TUC,
you can’t be quiet. You must take a position, if you believe from all
that you have heard and seen. If you believe that Jang won, say so.
Apparently it's not a joke. Kim Kardashian has named her baby daughter North West, according to reports.
Sources close to the couple confirmed the name, five days after Kimye welcomed their first child into the world.

MIAMI — The Miami Heat are the 2013 NBA champions. And the Spurs made them earn every last bit of that second straight title.
In a game fitting of what we’ve come to expect from these two teams in this series, LeBron James
put on a jump-shooting display that resulted in his scoring 37 points,
and being named the Finals MVP in leading the Heat to the championship
in a dramatic 95-88 Game 7 win over the Spurs.
“It was odd, all year he had been the best perimeter jump shooter in
the league, even though he’s an attacker and got to the rim, to the
free‑throw line,” Erik Spoelstra said of LeBron’s outside shooting. “By
the numbers he was phenomenal from 15 to 22 feet, and even from three.
But their game plan was to really keep him out of the paint at all
costs, and that meant giving him wide‑open looks. That was the case, and

Fresh tension is rising in the Niger Delta following the Federal
Government’s failure to provide jobs for about 10,000 former militants
so far trained by the presidential post-amnesty office.
It was learnt that the unemployed amnesty beneficiaries are now
roaming the streets and creeks of the region, months after their
training. National Mirror
learnt that some of the “frustrated former militants have returned to
the creeks apparently to make ends meet in whatever way possible.”
Some stakeholders feared that the former militants could return to
their criminal antecedent in the creeks and along the waterways in order
to earn a living.
Investigations showed that the plight of the former militants was
worsened by the Federal Government’s failure to initiate measures to
meaningfully engage them after their training.
Clearly, President Jonathan has performed woefully; but...
Let me say from the outset that it would be scandalous and a grave
mistake for the opposition – and by this, I refer to the All
Progressives Congress (APC) – to look toward any of the gladiators in
the current war of attrition in the People’s Democratic Party, Aminu
Tambuwal, Babangida Aliyu, Sule Lamido, etc., as a candidate for the
presidency in 2015. With all due respect to these men, and not minding
the fact that there are PDP elements in the APC, it would not only smack
of unseriousness, but would leave voters no choice in 2015.
Having exorcised the incubus of a PDP takeover of the opposition, let’s
pose the fundamental question: who will defeat President Goodluck
Jonathan in 2015? We need to pose this question frontally and be sincere
in
