P-Square's African Tour: Train Moves To Uganda This Weekend

The tour of African countries embarked upon by the duo of Peter and Paul Okoye of P-Square is set to storm Uganda this weekend. Coming from the success made from their much talked about show in Rwanda last week, the music group is in high spirits in making the Ugandan show bigger and better.
Already, the group has had massive sold-out shows in countries like Cameroun, Congo, Zimbabwe, Ghana and Rwanda. This Friday, December 21, 2012, in a show dubbed 'Chop My Money Concert' the Nigeria-born entertainers are aimed at setting the Lugogo Cricket Stadium, Kampala, Uganda-venue of the event on fire. Any moment from now, they will leave the country with their band members.
On Thursday, December 13, the popular twin brothers and their 12-man band members flew to Kigali, the capital of Rwanda on a private jet, where they performed at the Amahoro Stadium.
P-Square had a turnover of over 100,000 fans that came to see them at the concert. Their new single 'Alingo', is currently enjoying good reviews locally and internationally.
WHAT’S ON JUDE OKOYE’S MIND?
Jude Okoye recently displayed weight on his way to Rwanda last week when
he displayed wads of Dollar bills with the caption ‘Go Getter’. His
fans were so curious what the eldest brother of the singing duo meant.
We get the fact that some Nigerian celebrities like to show off their
wealth – maybe because it took them a very long while to hit that status
and now that they have arrived, they are over-excited.What do you think could be running through his mind?
Meanwhile, his brothers and their crew flew on a leased jet last week to Rwanda, where P-Square performed to the administration of all and sundry.
See how the brothers were relaxing and counting their cash and the pictures when they touched down in Rwandan capital Kigali

Obafemi Martins In Street Romance With Balotelli's Sister, Abigail (Pix)
Many have complained about the love for anything under skirt by Super Eagles striker, Obafemi Akinwunmi Martins who plies his trade at Levante in Spain. Those who know him too well swore that when it comes to the game of 'womanising', Obafemi is 'Lionel Messi' in that regards.
What Italian media are reporting about the Nigerian player may not be too pleasant. According to what was reported, Obafemi and 'bad boy' Manchester City and Italian striker, Mario Balotelli's sister, Barwuah Abigail, are both in a sizzling romance.
That is even not the problem even though Balotelli is reported to kick against Obafemi dating his sister, but the problem is that both lovebirds chose to publicly do what they should have done inside in a confine outside. Obafemi and Abigail were pictured having a 'wild' love play openly some days ago when the Nigerian and his girlfriend saw each other.
In one of the pictures, Abigail was captured as if she was giving Obafemi 'nodding' while she bent in that suggestive position. Also in one of the pictures, Obafemi seems to have responded to the 'game' as he embraced Abigail from her backside while both played love games together outside.
As at this moment, it is not clear whether Balotelli has reacted to the incident.
According to information gathered by Impact Entertainsoul, the relationship between Obafemi and Abigail dated back to when the former Newcastle United Nigerian player and Balotelli were at Inter Milan as team mates.

How does Nigerian music become very popular in Ghana?
How does Nigerian music become very popular in Ghana while Ghanaian
music remains contraband commodity in the former’s country? This is a
big question that requires serious necropsy by entertainment pundits.
Give or show a Nigerian movie to the average Ghanaian in the 90’s and he or she will spurn it. At that time, Ghanaians loved Ghanaian movies to Nigerian movies. Starting the new millennium, Ghana was deluged with an influx of Nigerian movies. The table then turned; Ghanaians developed a strong predilection for Nigerian movies and ever since, have not looked back.
In the 90’s, rarely would one hear a Nigerian song being played on radio. By the year 2004, Nigerian songs or music started gaining foot in Ghana and ever since, Nigerian songs have steadily become popular in Ghana and Nigerian artistes for that matter, have also become popular as well.
A colleague art writer went to Nigerian recently to cover an entertainment event and after his return, narrated his observations on the Nigerian music industry. He said barely would one hear a Ghanaian song being played on radio.
The only Ghanaian songs he heard being played was songs produced by VIP and R2Bs. Kesse, the male vocalist of this year’s Vodafone Ghana music awards after participating in the ‘project fame’ music reality show in Nigeria, returned to also say he never heard any Ghanaian song played on any medium for the period he spent there.
Currently, Nigerian songs or music have very popular and so are their artistes in Ghana. Nigerian songs have become so popular that some Ghanaian musicians even copy their lyrics, accent, composition, songs or style of song engineering. Ghana and Nigerian are not enemies; neither is this feature attempting to brew an unhealthy competition or antagonism between them.
It wouldn’t have become an issue of discussion or to worry about if Nigerian music are popular in Ghana and Ghanaian music are also popular or doing creditably well in the latter’s country.
The facts on the grounds are that Nigerian songs are far popular in Ghana than Ghanaian music is in Nigeria. This is a big challenge to our music industry because Nigeria has a bigger market Ghana can tap into. It’s obvious the media in Ghana is the main tool that has made Nigerian songs popular in Ghana but the questions that require answers are; how do the Nigerians influence our media for their songs to become popular in Ghana? Is it that they pay ‘fat payola’ to the Ghanaian media than the Ghanaian musicians?
Do they have special agents here who do promotions for them? And why are Ghanaian songs not that popular in Nigeria? Could they (Nigerians) be sabotaging our music on their soil? Or is Nigerian music better than Ghanaian music?
MUSIGA must come in on this issue on a way to make Ghanaian music popular in Nigeria. MUSIGA can propose a treaty with the Nigerian music union to promote Ghanaian music there. The Nigerian population is big and that gives them a bigger market than Ghana.
However, I certainly don’t think any measure such as banning Nigerian songs in Ghana is or will be a panacea. We must be tactful.

Ojukwu Wills Estate, Monies To Bianca, Bianca Loses All If She Remarries!
Ojukwu Wills Estate, Monies To Bianca, Bianca Will Lose All If She
Remarries, Identifies New Daughter From Mistress As Bianca Fumes At
Mistress Disclosure!
The will of the late Ikemba Nnewi, Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, was on Friday presented to the family with his widow, Bianca, getting the lion's share.
The presentation by the Chief Registrar of the Enugu High Court, Mr Dennis Ekoh, was witnessed by Bianca, Mr Val Nwosu, Ojukwu’s first cousin, and Mr Mike Ejemba.
In the will, the late Ojukwu identified one Tenny Haman as one of his children.
Ojukwu listed the children as Tenny Haman, Chukwuemeka Jnr, Mmegha, Okigbo, Ebele, Chineme, Afam and Nwachukwu.
The Ikemba gave the Casabianca Lodge at No. 7, Forest Crescent, GRA, Enugu, two property at Jabi and Kuje in the FCT as well as all his money and personal effects to his widow.
He also said that Bianca should replace him as the trustee in the family company, Ojukwu Transport Ltd, while also giving her two plots of land in his village at Nnewi.
He, however, added that if she re-married, the land should be taken away from her.
The first son, Emeka Jnr., got the family house at Nnewi, while the newly mentioned daughter, Tenny Haman, got the Jubilee Hotel located in Zaria, Kaduna State.
The Biafran warlord also shared other landed property in the village among all his children.
Bianca, however, expressed shock at the disclosure of a new daughter in the family, whom she said had never been mentioned by her husband.

Oge Okoye Goes Gaga Over Sex Question! How I Make Love To My Husband?
When success stories are written in the annals of Nollywood, Oge
Okoye’s name cannot be overlooked. Gorgeous and gifted, Okoye, who
hugged the klieg light in 2001 with the movies, “Caesar to Caesar” and
“Spanner”, not only conquered Nollywood, she captivated and wowed her
fans with blistering and daring acting, so much that her memory
continues to linger in the minds of movie buffs.
Today, after two kids, the star of numerous blockbusters remains evergreen. She is not only relevant in the industry after about 11 years, but has also broadened her horizon to become multifaceted and a sought-after diva.
In this encounter, the soft spoken entertainer went gaga and revealed her other side when Entertainment Express asked an innocent question about her sexual appetite.
“What kind of question are you asking me?...How I make love…that is my personal life and I think personal things should remain personal,” she fumes.
Okoye who was recently honoured with a Doctorate degree by Wisconsin International University, USA, further bared her mind on other germane issues and sketched a broad outline of her real self. We present the riveting interview, raw and uncut.
So when and how did you meet your husband?
It was really not love at first sight, I personally don’t believe in love at first sight. I believe in working it out, knowing ourselves, to see if we are compatible, so that is what exactly happened between me and my husband. We were friends at first and it was going on like that till we got married in 2005.
How does he feel about the romantic scenes you play in movies?
He has never complained. I really don’t know if he feels bad, but I know that being a human being like I am, he might be feeling bad inside but he is not showing it. He encourages me a lot; he is always there for me. Besides, he doesn’t watch my movies.
At a point your marriage was widely reported to have hit the rocks; surprisingly, you didn’t come out to clear the rumour, what actually happened then?
I don’t have business responding to such falsehoods. I don’t know the people peddling such rumours and I have no business with it.
So are you saying the marriage is still intact?
What do you mean? Is like you have another mission! Why won’t my marriage be intact? Please nothing has happened to my marriage. I really don’t know why people would be interested in breaking our marriages; nothing like that exists. It amazes me the way people go about talking about a marriage break up that does not exist. I’m happily married and I don’t want to discuss my personal life.
Since he is not living with you here in Nigeria, how do you cope with the numerous male admires?
Of course everybody knows that I’m married; I wonder what anybody would still want from me.
So how do you relieve when you have feelings?
What kind of feelings are you talking about?
Sexual feelings, to be specific
I think that is my personal life. What kind of questions are you asking me? I think you will soon ask me how I make love with my husband. Basically, that is my personal life and I think personal things should remain personal.
One should have expected that you attend an event with your husband whenever he is in Nigeria so as to clear the numerous rumours of broken marriage trailing your person, why don’t you usually do that?
I don’t think that is necessary.
So where is that lucky man from?
He is from Imo State and I am from Nnewi, in Anambra State.
What is one good thing that marriage has done to you?
I think it has made me more mature.
Your last born is about two years, how soon are we going to be celebrating the arrival of the third one?
I believe God’s time is the best.
But would there be anyone by this time next year?
Actually, we are not ready for any other one now. We are taking a little break from child bearing.
After two kids, you still look youthful and sexy; what is the secret behind this?
Really! Maybe because I’m slim naturally. Apart from that, I exercise a lot. I do all kinds of exercises from cycling to normal stretching. I think that is what has been helping me to stay in shape.
How far can you go to interpret a role, especially the ones involving nudity?
I do everything within my capacity to ensure that I perfectly interpret my roles. But one thing I cannot do is to go stark naked. But I could do other sensual roles but for nudity, I wouldn’t. Our society abhors it.
What about such things as smoking, as some of your colleagues do?
Why should I smoke? Has anybody told you that I smoke? I don’t have to do that, I don’t do it and I don’t think I will ever indulge in that if that is what you are asking.
But some of your colleagues do; do you see anything wrong with it?
I think that is their personal business. I don’t have anything to say about that. I don’t interfere in someone else’s private life, as much as I don’t want anybody to interfere in mine.
Most of your colleagues are said to be into lesbianism, how have you been coping with their amoral advances?
I’ve never encountered one. I don’t want to doubt the existence of such but I’ve never encountered anyone. So I can’t be talking about what I don’t know about.
Generally, what is your view about the act?
You and I know it's wrong; I don’t think it’s something anybody should be practicing.
If given the opportunity to erase anything in your past, what would you’ve erased?
I think the only the thing I would’ve loved to erase is the death of my father. It was such a bad experience that haunted me for years.
He was such a lovely father anybody would pray to have. It’s been long, so I’ve tried to put it behind me.
What kind of man epitomizes your ideal man?
My ideal man should be hard working, must look good, and at same time have the fear of God
Are those things what attracted you to your husband?
I won’t talk about what attracted me to my husband. What attracted me to him is not something I would want to start talking about. It’s personal.
Since your marriage is still intact, what effort did you put in to sustain it till date?
It’s all about loving someone unconditionally, trusting the person and at the same time being tolerant. These are the ingredients of a lasting relationship, and I think they are part of what has sustained mine as well.
Are these ingredients lacking in the failed marriages recorded by your colleagues?
I don’t know what could have caused their failed marriages. It’s only the person that wears the shoe that knows where it pinches. It is their private lives; I don’t know what caused their breakups and I don’t think is something I would want to know. Just as I like keeping some things private, I also like allowing people their privacies.
Unlike your colleagues, you got married back in 2004; were you under pressure to marry since you are the only child of your parents?
It wasn’t because of that. I fell in love with a man and we ended up getting married. Nobody ever pressurized me into marriage
How did you go about settling your rifts with your friends, Ini Edo and Chioma Toplis?
Who told you there was any rift? As far as I’m concerned I don’t have any rift with anybody.
Does that mean you’ve settled with them?
I don’t know what you are talking about, and please I don’t have an answer to that question.
If you had known all that you know today, what did you do in the past that you would you’ve done differently now?
I don’t really know what I would have done differently; I think I did everything I’ve done based on the prevailing circumstances. I don’t regret anything I did in the past. I know I must have made some mistakes, but I try not to remember them because I have already forged ahead. Whatever mistake I made in the past has been confined to history, I’m now looking ahead to what the future has got to offer.
What were these mistakes?
There you go again. I think that is my personal life, which I would want to remain personal.
Share with us what life has taught you over the years?
Frankly speaking, life has taught me to be independent, to never give up no matter what I’m facing, to always believe in myself, to work hard and always remain focused. I’ve come to understand that everybody can be a better person, and everything anybody needs to succeed in life is in that person.
Most producers are currently lamenting on the evil effect of piracy; does the menace affect what you are currently paid for jobs?
It hasn’t. I feel that whatever I’m getting is what I’m supposed to get. But the menace is a very big challenge to the industry; you find out that before one’s film is released someone somewhere would have already released a pirated copy, it’s painful. I believe there will be a change if the government finally puts an end to it; it’s something that must be collectively fought against.

Sexy Ghanaian Singer, Becca Disowned By Dad Over Plans To Marry Married Manager
Ghanaian journals are reporting that Ghana's up and coming beautiful
singer, Becca has been disowned by her father, Mr. Acheampong over the
singer's intention to reportedly marry her manager, Kiki Banson.
Mr. Acheampong was quoted to have told a Ghanaian newspaper, "Becca is no more my child and she can do whatever she pleases with her life. She is of no importance to me anymore. She is grown so if she thinks Kiki is the one she really wants to marry, she can go ahead and marry him.
"I have already disowned her. I don’t care if the mother supports her or not. Looking at my health condition now, I wouldn’t want to do anything that will affect me and the rest of the family.
"Everything I gave her has been taken back. She is no more my child and will never be my child, not even when I’m dead."
The report said that Mr. Acheampong is badly upset with Becca's decision to marry Kiki, whose marriage collapsed with accusing fingers pointing at Becca over the singer's relationship with Kiki.
Mr. Acheampong reportedly called Kiki a criminal and a very wicked man who signed his daughter, Becca, at the age of 17 to 18 years by signing her on a 10-year contract without the consent of her parents or any member of the family claiming Becca was 18 years and could decide and choose to do anything she liked.

SINGER CHIDINMA AND I ARE HAVING A GREAT RELATIONSHIP- SoundCity Prince Adams Confesses
Prince Adams, the handsome dude at SoundCity who is one of the
Presenters has confessed to this authority Chidinma Ekile, the MTN 2011
winner is a special friend. While not wanting to deny any relationship
with music queen and one time Project Fame winner, Chidinma, he was
quite diplomatic, “She is a sweetheart. She is a beautiful lady. She is a
phenomenon. She is extremely talented. She is very focus and a great
friend of mine. We hang-out at times. Chidinma is a very special friend
of mine. I do not want to speak on whether we are having any
relationship or not. All I know is that she is just a good friend and so
special to me.’’
On what made Chidinma so special to him, Adams was quick to reel out a lot of eulogies, “If you must know, she is a different, uncommon breed. I love her for her unique qualities as she has really helped inspired me. So we are having a great relationship. I am not saying we are dating but that we are having a great relationship.

BANK MD’S SON THREATENS SUICIDE OVER FATHER’S ROMANCE WITH ACTRESS!
A fresh angle has just emerged on the not-so-funny drama: The bank MD’s
son who is a secondary school student has threatened to commit suicide
if his father does not quit the romance and reconcile with his mother!
For starts, we leant that the poor boy who is shocked by his father’s shameful action has embarked on hunger strike. His performance in school has equally gone down and like he warned recently, if his love-struck father remains obstinate, he may take his protest to the extreme by committing suicide. Of course this may sound incredible but some people believe his mother is the one advising him on these actions to get his father to discontinue with the relationship has brought their family so much pain and anguish.
Interestingly, besides the boy’s action, the two families and some close friends have waded into the matter. Particularly the bank MD’s godfather who is also a respected former bank boss.
In his advice to his protégé, he reminded him that nearly all men stray once in a while, but that it should not be at the detriment of his marriage. Using himself as an example, he told the bank MD that he even has a love child outside, but that neither that nor his other dalliances has been able to get him to turn his back on his own family.
The parish priest of the Catholic Church of Assumption, Falomo, Ikoyi, Lagos where the couple worship has equally waded in, advising the man on the dangers of his misbehavior and at the same time begging the woman to come back home and fight the battle from within.
One family friend also advised the woman that upon the resolution of this marital mess, she should examine herself lest there is something that she’s doing which the husband doesn’t like and may have capitalized on to go outside and begin to sleep with another woman, to the extent that he could abandon his family for a mistress.
Alphabets P and J, like we revealed earlier, begin the names of the banker and his wife while the 19th alphabet begins the actress’. All dark in complexion, the banker and the actress are from the South East (the same state actually) while the heart-broken women is from the middle belt.
Bespectacled and easy going, she confided in a friend recently that nothing prepared her for her current travails.
“I never knew that there would come a time when myself and another woman would be fighting over my husband. I mean, I am still in shock over the whole thing. Can’t believe that..could do this to me. Me!”
The woman fist fled to Europe at the height of the marital crisis, and was there for months, nursing her wounds and reaching out to those she believes could talk to her husband. The man is still adamant and madly in love, but from the immense pressure he is currently being subjected to from left right and centre, he may ultimately cave in.

That Wasiu Ayinde Marshal otherwise known as K1 De Ultimate has
impregnated his former wife’s niece, Titi Masha has been a story on the
lips of all and sundry recently but what you are about to read is the

Sexual Harassment: Nollywood Actresses Are Well Endowed- Chinwetalu Agu
Chief Chinwetalu Agu is a veteran actor, writer, comedian and movie
producer, who came into limelight through two popular NTA soaps, Baby
Come Now in Enugu and Ripples in Lagos 31 years ago. He hails from
Amokwe in Udi Local Government Area of Enugu State. The Enugu State born
actor, responding to question on why there are sexual harassment in
Nollywood, said it’s a general phenomenon and not limited to Nollywood
alone.
he said that,‘’what I see happening has to do with nature, not just Nollywood. For instance, if you are passing along the road, and see an attractive lady, will you not turn your neck to her direction to have a second glance? Everybody likes beautiful things. Men particularly appreciate beautiful women, and our Nollywood ladies are well endowed. So these things happen in all facets of the society. What of the one that government officials organise girls, popularly called weekend chics every weekend to have fun, money exchange hands in bundles because they get this money so freely? They throw the money as if it is of no value again and when some of them can’t sleep with them because of their old age, they just sit down in their hotel room and permit the ladies to cat walk or dance nude before them. So, all these are not just in Nollyhood because people watch them act this role in their movies and address them the same way. It is not peculiar to Nollywood; it has to do with nature.’’

MAY D MAY ENTER INTO TROUBLE WITH PSQAURE
Akinmayokun May D Awodumila might be spooling for another fresh war or
may be telling the world that the battle between him and the sensational
twin singer, P Square is finally over as he performed two of Paul and
Peter Okoye’s songs at the Felabration 2012, New Afrika Shrine, Lagos.
Though some of the stakeholders in the industry said that, May D may or may not know what he has done what is termed plagiarism; but the tides are already heating up and soon, there may be just another messy war between him and Square Rcords barely two months after he was dropped by the label.
During his performance at the recently held Felabration 2012, at the New Afrika Shrine on Friday, October 19, the pop singer kicked off his performance with Psquare’s ‘Do as I do‘ which features Tiwa Savage and himself. He then goes on to perform his first single ‘Soundtrack‘ before following with Psquare’s ‘Chop my money‘. He didn’t stop there as he went quickly into his award winning single Soundtrack before diving headlong into Chop my Money. May D wrapped up his act with his hit single Ile Ijo. In all of P Square’s songs performed on this night, May D didn’t stick to his lines; rather, he took the entire songs from start to finish.
The crowd, however, didn’t seem to notice or perhaps were not bothered as they hollered and danced away the entire time. Square Records boss Jude Engees Okoye had in a statement issued in August this year announced that the label was severing ties with May D due to irreconcilable differences. A month later, May D launched own label Confam Entertainment. His single Soundtrack fetched him the ‘Best R&B Single’ award at The Headies this year.
