Why women in entertainment find it difficult to get married - Uti Nwachukwu

During a discussion with Dolapo Oni, Bolanle Olukanni and Michelle Dede on the Boy & Girl Talk Marriage section on Moments With Mo show, Big Brother star Uti Nwachukwu said the reason why he and most men can't marry women in the Nigerian entertainment industry is because the women sleep around with big men and they know it. "Most celebrity women in the entertainment industry have had to sleep with one big man or the other to have the comfortable life they live. Its common knowledge". He said whenever he hangs out with his friends and they talk about getting married to actresses, that most times the men say never because they've met these actresses in private places with these big men.

Acid Attack Victim Naomi Oni Recounts Her Friend's Attitude After She Was Attacked......well this has been trending for lota while now and i decides to cut some updated piece for yall

Acid attack victim, 21 years old Naomi Oni broke down during her first television appearance since her friend 21 years old Mary Konye was found guilty of throwing acid at her face out of envy. Speaking on This Morning today, Naomi revealed she even contemplated suicide over the false claims that she had poured the acid over herself. She said: 'I was told there was no way of finding who this person was and after being questioned by the police and realising they were looking at me, trying to say that I done it to myself, I thought this is not going to happen. I'm not going to sit there and let them tell me that. Recalling how her 'friend' acted throughout her ordeal, Miss Oni said: 'The morning of the day it happened. I remember that she messaged me and I spoke to her in the evening and told her what happened. She seemed shocked and told me she wanted to come and see me in hospital. When I first had some surgery, I remember crying on the phone to her asking "who would do this to me, who hates me? I would never wish this on my worst enemy". She told me not to worry, that I'd be okay and she even attended my surprise birthday party and got me flowers and a gift card. She sat beside me and cried and everything. How do I feel about her now? I think she's a sad person. I think I will always be the person I was and no one can stop me from that.

listen!!!! Toni Payne finally addresses cheating rumours, says she never cheated on 9ice

Four years after her 2010 separation from singer 9ice amidst cheating rumours, publicist and spoken word artist Toni Payne has finally addressed the rumours that has followed her for years. Toni & 9ice got married on July 17th 2008 and by January 2010, a year and a half later, the marriage was over. There were several reports at the time that she was caught cheating. 9ice actually started the cheating rumours by making a song where he said his woman cheated on him with a friend. People assumed he was referring to his wife and a rapper friend, who he later seriously quarreled with in the media In a post on her blog yesterday, Toni said she never cheated on her ex- husband. Her words below... To those who still believe I cheated on my ex. I am sorry to disappoint you, I never cheated on my ex hubby. Its not who I am, it will never be who I am. Tell yourself 1 million times, Toni Payne cheated, it will never make it true. Nobody caught me in any lie, or in any bad situation, nobody slept with anyone he was close to. Yall need to put a full stop to that bullshit. Its old!. Sometimes, men want their freedom, and the fact is you cant force them to stay. Same goes for women. Everyone wont have a perfect relationship, not everyone will stay married forever, we can only aspire to. Even those that have been married 10 years and are busy judging others, do you know your tomorrow? naaaa you sure don’t so curb it abeg. We can only pray, work, and hope for a good union. Continue... Anyways To address this my ex said this or that issue. Let me just say He has NEVER for once opened his mouth to accuse me of cheating. He has NEVER for once opened his mouth to accuse me of sleeping with anyone he knows. If awon alaiye baje wanna use our situation then to sell their crap, how is that my fault? The same media controlling the remote to say I think cheating is ok, are the same who controlled the remote back then to say his song was about me. Nobody ever called him to verify or ask before publishing. Ill admit that we both did not handle the situation well back then, It was the first time we would experience such. The tension was plenty and emotions were everywhere. We should have sorted it privately. which we did try to do but one rubbish headline and emotions go buckwild again. I don’t wanna sounding like I am defending him, cos he is responsible for himself, but in all fairness to him, and because I have a conscience that serves me well, not for once did he tweet, fb, email, interview anything of the sort. Our issues had absolutely nothing to do with what the media were speculating. People took a song he did and turned it upside down. My crew MIXED AND MASTERED the song. If it was about me, why would I allow him release it. God gave all of us sense naa.. Some just chose not to use theirs and chose to believe anything they read even when the facts are there to sort through. The only thing I have blamed him for, was not coming out on time to refute the claims and allowing it to escalate to that level, he has since apologized SEVERALLY, we have discussed it privately as we should have from the jump. I have accepted and moved on. I have also apologized for losing my cool on twitter, he has since accepted and moved on. Really, what more is there. I am not sure what people want from me. Should I hate him forever? Should I tie him to a post and flog him mercilessly? Should I be a wicked person and deprive him of his son? If I remain bitter and upset, please what value will it add to my life? Wo, my life is much more simpler than all this. Those who know me well, know this. Those that dont understand me are the ones who will be forever outside looking in, speculating crap. I am truly tired of this topic but since it seems to keep popping up, i felt it is best to finally address it properly. If anyone decides to hang on to the lie after this, that is their own cup of tea. I have a talk show to record, poetry to write and a child to raise. I don talk my own.

Service chiefs get senate approval

Abuja - The Senate on Thursday in Abuja approved the appointments of the new Chief of Defence Staff and the service chiefs. The confirmation followed the screening by the Joint Senate Committee on Defence, Army, Navy and Air Force and the adoption of the report by the Senate. The committee was mandated by the Senate on Jan. 23 to screen the nominees and submit the report within one week. The Senate Minority Leader, George Akume (APC- Benue), said that contrary to beliefs in some quarters, the APC was not against their appointment. Akume said that the party was in full support of the appointments. "I wish to state here that we at the other side are in full support of the appointments of Chief of Defence Staff and service chief,"Akume said He urged the officers to work in line with democratic tenets and that they must see their appointments as service to their fatherland. He also advised them to maintain peace and order where necessary irrespective of parties involved. On his part, James Manager (PDP - Delta), said the new CDS and service chiefs were eminently qualified for the positions. Manager implored them to live above board in the discharge of their new duties. The Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, said that for the first time in Nigeria’s democratic history, appointments of service chiefs were subjected to legislative scrutiny as required by the constitution. Ekweremadu enjoined the appointees to justify the confidence repose in them by discharging their duties appropriately. It would be recalled that President Goodluck Jonathan had on Jan. 16, nominated, Air Marshal Alex Badeh as the new CDS to replace, Admiral Ola Sa’ad Ibrahim. efence. He also nomiated Maj. Gen Tobiah Minimah, as Chief of Army Staff; Rear Admiral Usman Jibrin, as Chief of Naval Staff, and Vice Marshal Adesola Amosu, as Chief of Air Staff. They replaced Lt.-Gen. Azubuike Ihejirika, (COAS); Vice Admiral Dele Ezeoba, (CNS), and Badeh, who was elevated to CDS. NAN also recalls that Jonathan had forwarded the names of the service chiefs to the Senate for confirmation. The officers have since assumed duties in their new offices. The Senate also deferred debate on the 2014 Appropriation Bill to another legislative day. Debate on the budget began on Tuesday with most senators raising eyebrows over the wide margin between the capital expenditure to the recurrent, among other issues. Most senators were of the opinion that the capital expenditure should have been 74 per cent while recurrent should have been 26 per cent and not the reverse. Other areas of concern were the need for the country to replace western economic theories with home grown ones. The senators stressed the need to compel revenue generating agencies to remit such funds to the federation account.

Only God kept me alive, Uzoenyi confesses

Super Eagles midfielder, Chrisantus Ejike Uzoenyi has confessed that he almost passed out when Black Stars defender, Kwabena Adusei elbowed him leading to a minor concoction mid-way into the first half of the CHAN semi-final clash between Nigeria and Ghana. Team medics described Uzoenyi’s condition at the time as Cortical Artery seizure, noting that it took quite a while to get his pulse back from the leg region. “It was scary but we thank God, it didn’t degenerate more than that and the player’s recovery rate was phenomenal”, one of the medical official attached to the team noted. The player himself was quoted by Team Media Officer, Ben Alaiya, as saying he momentarily passed out and didn’t know what was happening until he was stretchered out for treatment. “That player wanted to kill me with that vicious elbow and I was blank and did not know where I was until I started hearing noises, but I was determined to continue that was why I was rushing back to the pitch. But I think it was God that saved my life because some lesser cases have resulted in fatalities”.

PERCEPTOR 38: Questions On Arik’s ‘Fly The Sweaty Skies’ Policy

“By doubting we come to question, and by questioning, we perceive the truth.” (Peter Abelard, 1079-1142) 6 Questions on Arik’s ‘Fly the Sweaty Skies’ Policy Perceptor knows that there is a bit of jealousy about Arik and the way it burst on the Naija aviation scene with its brand new ‘tear rubber’ planes and then just growed and growed until no corner of the country, sub-region, continent or indeed the globe has been left untouched by the ‘Wings of Nigeria’. Where did all that money come from, people wondered. (And can I get some of it?) So when the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria gave some lesser airlines marching orders to get out of the General Aviation Terminal leaving Arik practically in charge there, the mutterings too growed and growed, and Arik had to take out full page newspaper adverts to rebut complaints of favouritism. Frankly Perceptor doesn’t think it was even reasonable for other airlines to insist that Arik should come and join them in the Murtala Muhammed Airport 2 when there isn’t enough space even for them. Even greedy Bi- Courtney should know that the visually (or just plain intellectually) challenged individuals who are still claiming that MMA2 is a ‘state of the art’ airport would soon sing a different tune if the Arik hordes were to descend on its mediocre facilities. Perceptor doesn’t even care where the money Arik was set up with came from, but recently, Perceptor has begun to notice a disturbing trend on the Wings of Nigeria. It goes like this: the passengers get into the plane, and the more it fills up, the more uncomfortably hot they become. By the time the plane is full, everybody on board is sweating profusely in the all-enveloping heat. An announcement is made that Arik apologises for the discomfort caused by the non-functioning air-conditioning but assuring passengers that once they are airborne, the temperature will drop to a more comfortable level. On a recent Arik flight, Perceptor did not find this reassuring. And Perceptor was apparently not the only one who was more disquieted than calmed, because as soon as the plane was airborne (i.e. once it was too late to get down), one of the passengers started praying loudly for the aircraft’s safe arrival. Now Perceptor is as ready to trust in the Almighty as the next man, but honestly, at 30,000 feet, the image of a plane “saturated in the blood” of JC is not the picture that Perceptor wants to focus in the search for mental equilibrium and calm as the flight bounces around the air pockets over Naija. You will not be surprised, dear reader, to learn that as the plane cooled off up there, questions began to form in Perceptor’s head. Or that by the time the plane started descending and landing (phew!) and getting hotter and sweatier and more uncomfortable all over again the closer we all got to Mother Earth, those questions had crystallized … 1. Was that the same plane that one Sandra Obiago travelled in from Lagos to Benin in December last year? This lady, who was not ashamed to tell us in an article that she published under the heading “When Will We Be Hot Enough?”that her fellow passengers called her a ‘mad woman’ because when she found herself in another plane with faulty air-conditioning for her return journey to Lagos, she demanded to see the pilot before anybody could disembark, reported that even the pilots came out of the cockpit sweating, leaving her to worry about what would happen if they should faint from the heat! What Perceptor wants to know is – was Obiago just unlucky to catch the same plane twice, or was it another plane? More importantly, why, if there was one plane or two planes with ‘malfunctioning air- conditioning’ in the Arik fleet in December last year, why are there still planes with m.a-c. in March this year? And if it isn’t the same plane, is it a serial problem with Arik planes so that when one stops having the problem another takes over? 2. If it is the same plane, why is it still flying in that condition? Can Perceptor be frank? Perceptor doesn’t think it is the same plane. Perceptor thinks that all Arik’s planes are exhibiting the same symptoms. But if it IS the same plane, why don’t they FIX IT? 3. Could it be that Arik has been given some kind of dispensation by Nigeria’s civil aviation authorities to sweat its passengers at ground level? Perceptor knows that Arik is a bit of a favourite son, as the NCAA seems to be sitting idly by while it descends into Chanchangi-dom (you know, the plane starts moving while passengers are still standing up and looking for a seat and somewhere to put their hand luggage but without an interesting name) but this one of no air-con has passengers coming out of the planes mopping their faces and with their clothes soaked in sweat. Since Perceptor refuses to believe that the NCAA workers are so un … er, unperceptive, that they didn’t notice, the only other explanation is that Arik must have been given permission to turn off the a-c. 4. Because otherwise, why would Arik be allowed to be operating the ‘fly the sweaty skies’ policy for so long? Even if the NCAA and FAAN are turning a blind eye, it still begs the question: Why? Perceptor means, it can’t possibly be because they’ve got friends in high places, can it? 5. Is it because Arik is just trying to save money – on fuel for example – or is it that they can’t fix the problem? 6. If saving money, why? Where else might they be cutting corners? Obviously Perceptor isn’t talking about the provision of stale cake and lukewarm fruit juice to its overheated passengers: that’s standard for Arik and of course the juice is going to be lukewarm when the plane is the next best thing to Hades … No, what Perceptor is wondering (and worrying about) is whether money is being saved and corners cut at the business part of the aviation business, you know, the stuff that gets you safely up, keeps you safely up, and brings you safely down … Cash and Carry Perceptor is ready to volunteer. Perceptor understands that a certain Governor still has a lot of extra cash to distribute to build up the momentum for his inevitable victory at the forthcoming polls and what Perceptor is saying is that Perceptor is ready to accept it. Perceptor is ready to accept this Governor’s money because Perceptor has decided that it is worth pretending to be brave if it means that Perceptor can get the money. Why, you ask gentle reader, does it take bravery to accept this Governor’s money? Simple! When this Governor gives out money (from the goodness of his heart obviously. Or to ensure his victory at the forthcoming etc.), when he gives out money, bad things seem to happen to the people he gives it to. Last year, it was the money he gave to some journalists that resulted in their being kidnapped. Now his attempt to distribute ordinary N15 million led to the death of five students! So because this dismal record must (surely?) be making people shun this Governor and his money, Perceptor is ready to volunteer to accept it. Because definitely with that history, nobody will want to accept this Governor’s money. Will they? Olusegun Obasanjo: An Apology In common with most other commentators, Perceptor may have given the impression that former President Olusegun Obasanjo was a devious proponent of the worst kind of do-or-die politics and hobnobbing with warlords and dubious characters of every kind in pursuit of his ambition to exercise continued sway over all political affairs in Naija, and may even have criticised him for not going into quiet retirement to count his, er … books. (For his Presidential Library now! Haba, reader, your mind is too suspicious. Perceptor cannot imagine why!) Perceptor now realises that ex- President Obasanjo is in fact a complete innocent abroad, and a God-fearing man to whom you need only mention the words ‘church’ and ‘thanksgiving’ for him to lose all critical faculties such as thinking, memory and facial recognition. In apologising for any confusion that may have been caused by his apparent predilection for hob-nobbing with known criminals, Perceptor wishes to emphasize that … (Cont’d on p. 2011) The PDP: An Apology In common with most other commentators, Perceptor may have given the impression that the Peoples Democratic Party was a political party, an organisation formed for the purpose of securing the votes of Nigerians at elections, and as such, might be prone to the kind of bad behaviour and misconduct that political parties have been known to indulge in in the attempt to secure the said votes. Perceptor now realises that the PDP is in fact an Assembly of Saints. In the circumstances it was quite out of place, and even an insult to its saintliness, to expect it to subscribe to a mere ‘Code of Conduct’ about how it would behave in regard to the April 2011 elections as though the icons who make up that great Assembly would not know how to distinguish between government resources in running their political campaigns, or ... Indeed, Perceptor and everybody else ought to have known that no undertaking could ever possibly have been necessary, since doing the right thing (winning) in the right way (by any and every means available) comes naturally to the exemplars and role-models of this greatest party in Africa and that all other political parties can only dream of achieving its saintliness, probity, kind-heartedness, friendliness (cont’d on p. 2011) I was misquoted *The IMF: The International Monetary Fund was misquoted when it said that Nigeria’s currency, the Naira, should be devalued. All that its representative in Naija, Scott Rogers, said was that the CBN should be ‘flexible’ about the exchange rate … *Abba-Aji: The Presidential Special Adviser on National Assembly Matters was misquoted when he said that he would advise the President not to sign the Freedom of Information Bill if the Senate ‘makes the same mistake’ as the House of Representatives and passes the FOI Bill. Readers may recall that last blog, Perceptor wondered whether Abba-Aji was confused about the different types of oath in which he (and possibly his principal) might have been involved. But now it turns out that it was the reporters who were confused.

I ran into this some minutes ago....Sex Before Marriage: 5 Good Reasons Why Every 'Nigerian' Couple Should Do It!

People love to tout the value of waiting until marriage to have sex. Everyone is preaching no sex until marriage, 'purity till marriage' pledges, that "abstinence is the best." No one remembers that there are plenty stories about “purity pledges” that have gone wrong. A lady realized that she and her new husband had absolutely zero sexual chemistry after dating with no sex. At the end of the day, she counted down the days until she could get a divorce, which happened six months into their marriage. With all that drama in mind, here are five good reasons why you should get rid of that purity pledge and do the dirty before you say "I do." 1. Sexual chemistry. The lady, Jessica, who kept her "purity" until her wedding night, said this about her tasteless marriage: Our bodies wanted different things from one another, so what we ended up with was a horizontal battle. I would hear married girlfriends talk about the joys of make-up sex and continue to sip my coffee in silence. We would fight, and then have bad sex and then fight some more. Every flaw in our marriage and in him seemed much more miserable when combined with the possibility of faking orgasms until death did we part. There was no relief. Six months into our marriage, the idea of separating seemed more appealing than feigning headaches for the rest of my life. As Jessica found out, sexual chemistry is something that can really only be ascertained by, well, having sex. Jessica would make out for hours with her husband before their marriage, so she thought that would translate into awesome horizontal mambo. Unfortunately, it didn't. Sexual identity. What if your partner is gay and he/she doesn't even know it? There are too many couples where one partner was able to cover up his or her true sexual persuasion because he or she simply didn't have sex with anyone. Cos not having sex with the opposite sex means you ignore those longings you might have for the same sex, and therefore don't acknowledge them. Sex itself. Not everyone is great in bed, and most people don't start out very good at all. A lot of good sex is about listening to your partner and being able to respond accordingly. But how do you know if someone is a good listener or responder unless you try it first? Size. Don't you want to know if your husband is packing a hunting rifle or a tiny little plastic kid's pistol? After all, he knows how big your boobs are. I'm not saying size should be a dealbreaker, but don't you have the right to know what's down there? Sexual issues. Sexual problems like premature ejaculation, inability to get an erection, or even an allergy to your partner’s semen are all possibilities, wouldn't you rather deal with those issues before you're married? This way you know if your future is even going to address them. Let's face it, sex plays a big role in marriage. Just like you should discuss children, religion, and where you both want to live before tying the knot, sex is too big a part of a relationship to leave to chance. You are free to agree or disagree with my 5 reasons but you know deep down this is the truth.
