We Are A Sad Generation with Happy Pictures” – Tonto Dike Laments

by Folarin Kehinde December 3, 2022
written by Folarin Kehinde

Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has said what she thinks of this present generation.

For the single mother of one, this generation is only living a fake lifestyle away from their real selves.

“We are a sad generation with happy photos,” Tonto Dikeh wrote on her verified Instagram page.

Her posts triggered several reactions from colleagues and fans.

Funke Akindele wrote: Hmmmm

Ogbonna Cecelia wrote: I don’t even have happy pictures. I am just there.

Creamyenys wrote: Minus me and my household. Because we are content and happy with ourselves.

Recall that in a recent interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, Tonto Dikeh said that her original plan in life was to go into the gospel ministry.

Although she has taken up other professions, she says the door is not closed, as she may still answer the call.

“I’m an opportunist with this thing called acting or entertainment. But God has ordained that step already. I was swimming in a swimming pool.

“I was a church girl, going to be a pastor. I was supposed to be a pastor. I still might. It depends on where God is taking me to.”

In 2017, shortly after her divorce from businessman Churchill Olakunle, the actress announced that she was now born again, declaring herself ‘Radical for Jesus’.

Ms Dikeh, who has been absent from the movie industry, then explained what being born again meant.

Highlighting what it means to be born again five years ago, she said it is about living a fun-filled, happy and joyous life knowing that the almighty God is on one’s side.

She wrote, “Being born again isn’t about not having friends or hanging out, it’s about having the right friends that will elevate, motivate, inspire you and most especially pray with you…

“My fellow brethren, it is time for us to Allow the world to see Jesus in us colourfully. My name is Tonto Dikeh. I am a Radical for Jesus. My life is as bright as a coat of many colours. I speak in heavenly tongue, and I am an entertainer.”

Since then, she has preached the gospel amidst criticism on her Instagram page.

No be Juju bi that”? : For Standing, Fans to pay 70k, VVIP 10m At Asake December Concert

by Folarin Kehinde November 19, 2022
written by Folarin Kehinde

The wave of the moment in Nigeria’s music industry, Asake has raised eyebrows on Twitter following the release of the ticket prices for his December concert in Lagos.

The standing ticket to the concert, which is taking place on December 22 at Eko Convention Center, Lagos State, is priced at N70,000 to access the venue for a standing position throughout the event.

Kemi Filani gathered that the ticket fee for Asake’s upcoming December concert tagged the ‘Mr. Money With Vibe Feat’, ranged from N70,000 for regular to N10 million for the VVIP category.

Other ticket prices are N4 million, N8 million, and N10 million being the highest price for the VVIP session at the concert.

Tickets for the concert have since gone on sale, but the exorbitant cost of the various sections of the venue for the concert has grabbed the attention of many netizens.

Fans are really angry and have started dragging him on Twitter. We are sure Asake didn’t see this coming at all. Below are some of the reactions:

One Dr.J@y wrote: ‘If I stand to worship God for free, then I will pay 70k to stand and watch you sing. Which size of rubber did you smoke? 10, 25 or 50litres?’

Paint Artist wrote: ‘Everyone is criticizing the amount to watch a show !! You all are not looking at the bright side !! Na easiest form on money laundering!!! Wake up all !!’

Joshua Aroke wrote: ‘Except if you guys are trying to make this easy publicity and then review the price but if na final price then.’ @asakemusik you too proud but no be your fault na people wey wan pay 70k to stand na them be the problem.’

circle of life wrote: ‘He is overating himself at this point , his stage performance would be very bland and poor. Whichever way it is a lose lose for those that will attend.’

Comr. PHEMITH wrote: ‘Na we dey make things difficult for ourselves in this country and we do abuse politicians everyday.’

Yellow_Jnr wrote: ’70k to listen to music that have been played several times or 70k to watch him jumping up and down singing along…Mr Asake, your fans gat u!’

BOSUN wrote: ‘He dey compare himself to Burna Boy,Wizkid or Davido,even him master(Olamide)can’t try such thing.’

Ning JNR wrote: ‘I blame Nigerians that drool over these artists. Even if it’s Nas or Jay z performing, I’m not paying that ish, I would watch you on YouTube. Smh.’

Popular Actor, Kunle Afod, Wife Split Despite Having 4 Children

by Folarin Kehinde October 25, 2022
written by Folarin Kehinde

Popular actor and movie director, Kunle Afod, and his wife, Desola have parted ways.

Desola made the announcement in a terse message on her Instagram page on Tuesday.

She wrote, “The good news you wanna hear. I left Kunle Afod.”

Desola had celebrated Kunle on his birthday on Monday where she prayed for him.

She had referred to him as father of their four children.

Celebrating the actor, she wrote, “Happy Birthday Daddy Omiayo, Desire, Imodola, Yiyenitemi. May God bless you on your birthday and always.”

But checks showed that she had earlier unfollowed him on Instagram.

In 2018, Desola had caused a major commotion on social media when she cried out that actresses would not allow her and the children enjoy her husband.

Sharing on social media, the mother of four boys wrote, “For all the actresses and upcoming actresses that have f**ked with Baba Omiayo, I dare you all to be in the same location with him. Then you will see the relaxed Desola. Just because I have been quiet.”

The actor had kept mum on his wife’s allegations, assuring that his marriage was fine.

Desola and Kunle have four sons together.

The actor, however, had earlier welcomed a daughter with an ex-lover before his marriage to Desola.

Calabar Carnival Returns After Two Years Break

by Folarin Kehinde October 19, 2022
written by Folarin Kehinde

After a two-year hiatus caused by the coronavirus pandemic, the Calabar Carnival is set to be staged December 2022.

The Commissioner for Culture and Tourism, Cross River State, Eric Anderson, who confirmed the development, gave reasons for the resumption of the festival during a press briefing.

He said, “Cross River is among the committee of carnival producers in the world. Carnivals were shut down worldwide in the last two years because of COVID-19.

“As we speak, carnivals worldwide have started production, and we can see that the Covid-19 protocols have been relaxed. As a member of the committee, we feel we should also resume as well. Tourism is one aspect of culture that has put Cross River on the World Tourism Map.”

A company, Okhma Global, was also appointed to lead marketing for the 2022 Calabar Carnival.

Speaking during the event, the company’s Chief Executive Officer, Mary Ephraim- Egbas, while expressing delight at the vote of confidence the Carnival planning committee reposed on the company, said, “We are a team of agile and youthful people governed by five core values, resilience, excellence, innovative, global, and nurturing.

“We worked with the Carnival Calabar pre-covid, for four years prior to this year, so to be selected to lead marketing this year again goes to show there is something we’ve gotten right. We hope to build on that and exceed our expectations.”

Nigerian Flamingos Trash New Zealand 4-0

by Folarin Kehinde October 14, 2022
written by Folarin Kehinde

The Nigerian U-17 women team rose from their defeat at Germany to win New Zealand 4-0 at the Fifa women’s world coup.

Nigeria’s Flamingos bounced back from their opening game defeat against Germany, thrashing New Zealand 4-0 at the ongoing FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup on Friday.

Goals from Amina Bello, Miracle Usani, Taiwo Afolabi, and Etim Edidiong ensured the Nigerian girls grabbed all three points on the plate in the Indian city of Goa.

Hungry to make amends for the disappointment against Germany, the Nigerian girls went all out for an attack against New Zealand.

The first goal came as early as the 16th minute. The other goals followed in 34th, 75th, and 90th minutes to complete the rout.

The win keeps the Flamingos’ hopes of qualifying for the quarter-final of the tournament alive. They will face Chile in their last group match with a win enough to take them to the quarter-final of the competition.

Earlier, Chile defeated New Zealand 3-1 in their opening group game. The South Americans will now play against Germany in their second game later today.

Nigerian Goalie Uzoho Stun Fans Against Manchester United

by Folarin Kehinde October 14, 2022
written by Folarin Kehinde

Fans have heaped praise on Omonia Nicosia goalkeeper Francis Uzoho after his stunning display in his side’s 1-0 defeat against Manchester United on Thursday at Old Trafford.

The Cypriot outfit were on the back foot for the majority of the Europa League clash, but United could not find a way through until an added time Scott McTominay strike, as Uzoho pulled off a string of fine saves to keep the hosts at bay.

It was a frustrating evening for the Red Devils as Uzoho somehow denied Cristiano Ronaldo and co, and BT Sport pundit Hargreaves hailed the Nigerian shot-stopper, who happens to be a United fan, after the game.

Uzoho made his first save of the match inside the opening two minutes when he tipped Marcus Rashford’s curling effort over the bar.

Rashford continued to test Uzoho for the rest of the half, while the goalkeeper was also forced into action by Ronaldo, Antony and Casemiro, but there was no way past him.

At the start of the second half he made two eye-catching double saves in a matter of minutes, keeping out Antony, Rashford, Fred and Ronaldo.

By the end of the match, United had attempted over 30 shots on goals, but Uzoho denied them time and again. Co-commentator Robbie Savage was in awe of Uzoho’s display.

Unfortunately for Omonia and Francis, McTominay scored from close range in the 93rd minute to seal a 1-0 win for United.

Turkeys Sentenced To Death After Attacking Man In Canada

by Folarin Kehinde October 11, 2022
written by Folarin Kehinde

A gang of turkeys and a rooster reportedly attacked a man, leaving him with two broken hips.

The attack occurred in the Canadian province of British Columbia in July, when the assistance of Chase RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) was required in order to check on the man’s well-being at a home in Celista.

As the police arrived at the address, the cops found an injured man who had been attacked by animals.

It was soon discovered that the man had been attacked by a gang of turkeys who were accompanied by a rooster and they left the victim in a sorry state.

The victim received medical attention for his injuries including two broken hips, a broken finger and multiple lacerations.

The turkeys and roosters that attacked him are said to have been scheduled to receive the “death penalty for their crimes”, according to Sergeant Barry Kennedy.

History Made As Cristiano Ronaldo Scores 700 Club Goals

by Folarin Kehinde October 10, 2022
written by Folarin Kehinde

Cristiano Ronaldo has made history after scoring yesterday against Everton.

He has become the first player in football history to score a 700 goals combined goals for club.

Ronaldo until yesterday hadn’t scored for Manchester United in the Premier League this season.

However, after coming in for an injured Anthony Martial in the 29th minute, he received a defence-splitting pass from Carlos Casemiro in the 44th minute and was able to find the back of the net to silence the Everton fans.

Having started his career in 2002, 700 club goals mean that Ronaldo has averaged 35 goals a season.

Ronaldo has played for four clubs during his career – Sporting Lisbon, Manchester United (twice), Real Madrid and Juventus.

He scored five goals in 31 appearances for Sporting, 450 in 438 matches for Real and 101 in 134 games for Juventus. In his first spell for United he netted 118 times in 298 fixtures for the club and in his current second stint has 26 in 48 matches.

It’s the latest stunning achievement in the forward’s career – either individually or as part of a team.

Ronaldo is also the highest goal scorer in international competitions as his record 117 goals for the Portuguese national team added to 700 club goals make him the official top goal scorer in football history with a record tally of 817 career goals.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s 700th club goal comes 20 years and two days after his first goal for Sporting Lisbon.
