How T.B Joshua Delivered me from Smoking - Tonto Dikeh
Nollywood actress Tonto Dike, 27, who most of the time is in the news for the wrong reasons recently showed a generous side of her that should ordinarily get her in our good books but that is not the bone of contention now.
According to her, “I didn’t quit smoking by myself. I was watching a program on TV with Prophet T.B. Joshua and he was laying hands on people and praying for them. I love to watch his programs on Emmanuel TV. When he was praying, he said, ‘Lay your hands on the TV’ and I just laid my hands that day. I actually needed something else from God, not to quit smoking because I loved smoking! However, after praying I sat back and I think I slept off.”
Going further, she said, “When I woke up, I took a stick of cigarette and I felt crazy. I couldn’t even imagine that I took it up to smoke in the first place. It felt like poison!”
It’s too early to say but let’s hope she has quitted for real because it takes alot of dedication and personal conviction to lay off cigarettes especially after being a smoker for that long.

Kunle Afolayan’s mother Claims Selling Puff Puff and Pepper soup to Educate his Son
The mother of popular moviedirector-producer, Kunle Afolayan featured
on a recent edition of the ongoing Supermom reality TV show where she
gave an account of her experience bringing up her children in a
polygamous home that had a sojourner as head.
The 69-year-old woman told the story of how she got married at a very early age to her late husband, Ade Love whose profession as a movie maker caused him to travel frequently.
According to her, her husband non availability and his preference to invest in his business coupled
with the polygamous nature of the home exposed her to so much trauma. She soon ventured into the sale of puff puff and later, pepper soup.
Shortly before Kunle was five years old, she says, they were thrown out of the house and had to temporarily put up in a friend’s house, ‘All we did was spend the night there. I was pregnant with my last child then and would sit outside in the cold till the mama would come back, freshen up and then ask us to come in and sleep…it wasn’t convenient because there were bed bugs in the room and I had to stay up in the nights to keep them from biting my boys‘, she said.
Not long after, they got a place of theirs to stay but like the mighty wind in the popular fairy tale, a flood came one day and destroyed all her properties. She had to start from the beginning.
Kunle who is now a popular actor and internationally-acclaimed movie maker, says although things are better, he can not forget those days when his mother sold her wrappers to get him educated.

Nicki Minaj will join "America Idol" judge's table next season
Blonde rapper Nicki Minaj will join America Idol as a judge next season, US Weekly reported this afternoon. The Trinidadian MC, born Onika Tanya Maraj joins Mariah Carey as a new regular on the declining ratings giant.
What's good for Nicki is not so good for Randy Jackson, the last remaining member of the original AI troika of judges, along with Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell. Jackson will move to a "mentoring role" on the show, according to an US source. Among the other music celebs rrumored for a seat on the panel are Jonas bro Nick Jonas, Neptunes producer-singer Pharrell Williams, and still not married to Anna Kournikova heartthrob Enrique Iglesias.
With Minaj, AI will get two judges in one, if she brings along her outlier alter ego Roman Zolanski, showcased on this year's Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded album and her train wreck performance on this year's Grammy telecast.
Her ascendancy is sure to spice up Idol; it comes on the heels of a Twitter tantrum this morning in which she responded to criticism that she canceled a number of UK shows due to vocal issues by lashing out thusly:
"I was in jeopardy of losing my voice entirely and needing surgery on my vocal chord. If u can't understand that, your mother's a WHORE!!!!" she Tweeted. "I will NOT let you people make me feel horrible for a f---ing HEALTH issue! That's what got me in this mess! I shldve listened 2 the doctor!"

UN video: Beyonce’s sets social media record
A music video by pop singer Beyonce helped inspire one billion messages for World Humanitarian Day on Sunday, which the United Nations said was a social media record.
The singer recorded the music video, “I Was Here,” for the UN campaign to generate one billion messages encouraging people to do a good deed.
“The World Humanitarian Day 2012 campaign has made social media history by sharing more than one billion messages of hope,” the UN said in a statement.
The UN launched its campaign on August 2 to collect the messages, which were distributed on Sunday in honor of humanitarian workers.
The campaign numbers around the world soared after the release of Beyonce’s video on Saturday and the message spread rapidly among her fans.
Valerie Amos, UN under secretary general for humanitarian affairs, praised the “amazing work” of the singer in taking the UN’s cause further.
Dressed in a white, floor-length gown, Beyonce sang the song for the video at the UN General Assembly. The video shows her singing at the UN headquarters and scenes from recent disasters.
“This is our time to leave our mark on the world and show that we were here and we care,” Beyonce said in a statement.

months for.
Olisa Adibua almost Messed Up The Rick Ross Show In Lagos
The show that brought Lagos to a stand-still,the St. Eve’s Summer Jam
Fest held at the Expo Hall of Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island,
Lagos last Friday could be one of the best shows staged in Nigeria in
recent times. The show did not go without some hiccups.
The event started 4 hours late,Africa time I guess. It was billed to start at 7PM but finally started at 11PM.
Back stage, a source, who witnessed an ugly incident that happened, said that the Beat FM OAP, Olisa Adibuanearly messed the show up. It was said that he badgered a junior staff at Beat FM, and insisted that he should be the one to introduce Rick Ross to the stage to perform.Originally this was Larry D’s role whom the organisers of the show had chosen.
A fracas later ensued but was later resolved. Immediately Rick Ross finished his performance, the hall was scanty, which marred later performances by Flavour and others.

Reasons Why Peter Of P-square don't want to marry Lola Omotayo
It’s no longer news that one of the singing sensational duo, P Square,
Peter is expecting another baby from mother of his first son, Cameron,
Lola Omotayo. A lot of public opinions, speculations and insinuations
have it that, why on earth would someone not be married to a woman and
still expect to have another baby. Well,we can authouritatively revealed
that, there is more to this than meet the eyes.While one group of tale mongers said that the debonair ex-public relations executive has been un accepted by the Okoye siblings, another has it that the domineering attitude of this fair skin beauty is the cause of the delay in their solemnization.
“You will find Lola Omotayo 24 hours/ 7 days a week at P Square’s Omole Estate villa anytime you visit them. They live like husband and wife,” disclosed a dependable source in the neighborhood.
However, we can reveal to you that neither of the two tales is to be believed.Impeccable sources confided that the brothers, Peter and Paul Okoye have a secret pact to get married at the same time, day and venue. According to ou rsource, the two brothers have resolved not to allow marriage come in-between them, thus their decision to get married at the same time.
“It is a sacrifice and a compromise both of them reached pain stakingly in the interest of their career and what they have both shared since childhood,” disclosed by a very close source.
How long Peter Okoye will wait for his brother, Paul is a question of time but there are strong indications that he won’t have to wait for too long. Paul who is the quiet of the two is said to be in love with a lady whose identity is yet to be revealed.
It will not be forgotten in a hurry that the identical brothers have done everything from cradle to their adult age together and have been inseparable.Aside attending the same Primary and Secondary schools, the two brothers possess Diploma Certificates from the University of Jos (UNIJOS) and Degrees from University of Abuja (Uni-Abuja) respectively.

Nse Etim “I Grew Up Befriending Animals Because My Parents Were too Busy”
Nollywood actress, Nse Etim, speaks with ADEMOLA OLONILUA about her career and sundry matters
My hairstyle
Nse Etim: I don’t wear dreadlocks, it is just my natural hair that you are seeing. I twist it and loose it when I choose to. I do not fix a weave-on because it is artificial. I carry my hair most of the time, except when I have to attach something else to it. If I am playing a role in a home video film, I wear another hairstyle. I am an easy-going person, though I am inclined to lose my temper sometimes. My bark is worse than my bite and I am a simple person.Life after graduation
Nse Etim: After graduating from the University of Calabar, I worked with a radio station and a television station. I did a bit of film acting before getting a job in a bank.Why I quit banking
Nse Etim: I don’t think I remember the year I quit banking. But when I decided it was not longer what I wanted to do I had to leave. I was doing the same thing everyday. I was not passionate about it and I think if you want to earn a living, you should be passionate about what you do.How I became an actress
Nse Etim: A movie producer, Emem Isong, brought a script to me and asked me to read it. Initially I wasn’t enthusiastic about it, but she insisted and I eventually did it. I decided to start a career as an actress after I took part in the movie titled, Guilty Pleasures. That was my turning point. I owe this to movie fans. They made me who I am today.
My parents’ reaction
Nse Etim: When I decided to be an actress, I was old enough to choose for myself. But my mother only hoped it would work. Now she is my greatest fan. When I say I was rebellious, I mean that I was assertive as a child. I knew what you wanted and went for it. That is how I was brought up: to know what I want. My mum did not think it was right. So I left acting and went into banking. When I got out, I said to her: now that I have done your wish, let me do mine.
Most challenging movie
Nse Etim: Honestly I haven’t found any movie that I’d describe as most challenging for me. Also, no role has been insurmountable to me.Nollywood
Nse Etim: I am an ardent fan of Nollywood. I think it is still developing. We are trying our best to keep it alive, considering the fact that we work under difficult conditions. We hope it will get better some day.Challenges facing Nollywood
Nse Etim: The greatest challenge is, perhaps, the environment. There are no good roads and there is irregular power supply. Basically, we are suffering in order to put smiles on the faces of the people. In terms of infrastructure, I think we are doing our best, too. We are struggling to succeed in spite of the odds.Why I lived with my godmother
Nse Etim: Since my parents were very busy when I was much younger, I had to live with my godmother. My mother was still in school and my father had a busy work schedule at the time. But my godmother was not too busy for me. We were quite close. Apart from the neighbour’s son who was my friend, the other friends I had were animals. That was how I grew up. I never felt lonely all that while.Growing up in the North
Nse Etim: I grew up in the North. Life was beautiful then. Kaduna had lovely hotels where we used to go and swim. Zaria was peaceful and the residents were friendly. Jos had the best yoghurt in the country at that time. As a child, I loved to take yoghurt. Today, I doubt if you could find any that is as tasteful as what we used to buy in those days. Now you have to go all the way to a big store to buy bread. And then, everything in the North just changed.The crisis in the North
Nse Etim: It is just heart breaking. I think Nigeria is passing through a phase. Some people have said that for the land to be cleansed, blood will have to be shed. I think that is selfish. I do not want my blood to be shed. This is not the way to solve problems. It is painful that we resort to violence to get things done in this country. I hope that the problems in the North will be solved soon.My most embarrassing moment
Nse Etim: My most embarrassing moment is the day fell off an airplane. I did not remove my glasses and everything went misty. I fell down when I was descending the staircase. The worst part was that I had to struggle to get up on my feet.My relationships
Nse Etim: I am not involved in a relationship. I don’t think that everybody needs a companion. Lonely people ought to keep themselves occupied with work or they would be bored to death. When I don’t have any work to do, I read books to keep my mind busy. If I don’t have any book to read, I watch a movie or get busy in the kitchen.Tonto Dike Blasts Ini Edo: Calls Her Nollywood Old Desperate Cargo!
