Love struck Tania Omotayo shared this cute photo of her and lover boy Wizkid. The photo was taken at the MTN All star concert party that held in Lagos on Friday night.

Bolt (Sierra Leone) and Maria( Namibia) were the weakest link this week, they are out of The Chase and heading home. Bolt followed shortly after his lady love Betty, who was Evicted in Week 4 while Maria didn’t even know she was replaced and up for Eviction. Ouch!

Maria, who has never been under the Nomination knife was replaced by Diamond HoH Nando earlier this week, saving his own head. You could see that Maria was shocked but like a true lady she carried herself with confidence and poise.

Big man Bolt, was as stunned but he probably saw this Eviction coming considering that he had dodged it at least three times thanks to Betty and Melvin. Seems like Bolt’s luck has now run out and the Housemates will have to do without their resident bully.

But it’s like Nando had said in his Diary Session, that when a fellow Chasemate is Evicted it only hurts for all of five minutes, they talk about how much of a shock it was and then life goes on. The same will be done for both Maria and Bolt. Life will definitely go on.

Here is how Africa voted this week (30 June 2013)

No Bra! Yeye girl.

A recent update has revealed that Nigerian Billionaire, Mike Adenuga has spent a whooping N200 Million for a burial site.

The burial site, which is located at Vaults and Garden, an ultra modern cemetery in Ikoyi, Lagos is now final resting place of the rich and affluent.

According to reports, to get an average space in the cemetery would cost about N750, 000 and above. But if you would rather live an even more affluent life after death, N40 Million would get you some of the executive spots.

Report has it that even the super-rich have their own corner. Adenuga's recently deceased sister had one of these to herself. The Globacom boss paid N200 Million to secure a space for his sister. Her next door neighbor in this exclusive section is Gboyega, son of another super rich man, Otunba Adekunle Ojora and his fashionable wife, Ojuolape. Gbegi, like he was popularly known, was born in 1960 and died in 2011.

Right next to him is one of the founders of GT Bank, Tayo Aderinokun. His final resting place is not only very wondrously decorated, but also boasts of his two giant photographs, smiling on those that are still living. We were informed that Before the trio, however, is that of a true man of God, like it is dubbed inside the cemetery – the final resting place of former Redeemed Christian Church of God minister, Pastor Eskor Mfon. Born in 1953, he died in 2007.

It is quite wondrous that these rich are spending so much amount of money to get a posh burial ground, but wouldn't the money be better served on the living, perhaps, donated to a charity?

What do you think?

Banky W is working on what seems to be a sizzling new video with an all-star cast recruit. This new video for his song- Good Good Loving. The video features stars like Damilola Adegbite, Lynxxx, ELDee, Efya, Noble Igwe and many more. The video was directed by Clarence Peters. We expect it to be great and we can’t wait!

Tonto Dike, the actress cum singer face a National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) , after a spokesman accused her Friday of smoking and encouraging the use of weed/Indian Hemp in Nigeria. The controversial Nigerian actress risks a minimum of 15 years in jail
.
Dikeh posted photographs of a wrap of hemp and weed following in the footsteps of Rihanna. She also posted a photograph of herself and added the caption, ‘Mi smoke ganja mi smoke weed while my hatez smoke ma gossip.’

According to PUNCH newspaper NDLEA spokesman, Mr. Mitchell Ofoyeju, said the matter would be investigated.

Ofoyeju said, “Our attention has been drawn to the post quite frankly and I can tell you that action will be taken on it. The law is clear and NDLEA has been very clear on the issue. No one is permitted to sell, use, cultivate or encourage the use of Indian hemp in Nigeria. The weed is one of the banned narcotics in the country.

“NDLEA Act Section 14 (b) states that any person who conspires with, aids, abets, counsels, attempts to commit or is an accessory to any act or offence referred to in this act shall be guilty of an offence under this act and liable on conviction to be sentenced to imprisonment for a term not less than 15 years and not exceeding 25 years.

“Investigation has not started as of now but definitely, a step has to be taken on the matter. Ignorance of the law is not an excuse; so, it is obvious that the actress stands the risk of 15 years jail term. The appropriate department is meeting on the issue for necessary action.”

Dike denies she put those photographs up. She also denies writing those words under the caption. She claims the picture was altered and falsified.

Soon babies born from 2015 will have three biological parents and three different DNA. A new technique proposed by British scientist in the first controversial IVF treatment will lead to a baby with two biological mothers and biological father.
The formula is easy: 3 parents plus 1 tube= a healthy baby. Severe genetic disorder in the mitochondria A new technique could be defective DNA from the mother replaced by healthy DNA from a donor, after the egg is fertilized by a sperm and transferred into the uterus of the mother.

A genetic disorder in the mitochondria occurs in one in every 6,500 newborns. Most children have a mild form of the disease, but are five to ten babies born with severe mitochondrial disease annually. This can lead to muscular dystrophy in which muscle tissue is broken down gradually, with severe disability. "We can save five to ten babies from a terrible disease that takes the lives of some even each year. Moreover, we can give anyway ill mothers own child. It is only logical that we want to put "this step as soon as possible explains the main medical adviser to the Government, Prof. Sally Davies.

Davies expects the British Parliament as early as late this year to approve a law that makes the technology possible. In that case, the first baby with three biological parents may be born as early as 2015.

According to Nigerian newspapers ThisDay and Leadership, several celebrities have donated money to save talented producer/singer, Babatunde Okungbuwa popularly known as OJB Jezreel from Kidney failure.

OJB Jezreel gave an interview to Encomium magazine on Monday June 24th where he said he has about eight weeks left to get his operation done. “When early diagnosis was done, it was just a case of renal failure. Right now, my two kidneys are gone. We are running dialysis at the moment.

It started two years ago, but gradually depreciated. Most people tend to attribute kidney problem to drinking and smoking. I was told it doesn’t have anything to do with that, because as much as I drink and smoke then, it was casual drinking. Maybe they offer you a bottle of drink and all that but not like I drink 15 bottles a day. I have a friend who has gone through this and he never drank or smoked.

“The whole process of the treatment from pre-process, transplanting process and post-transplanting will cost about $100, 000. In two years I have spent up to N5million which I have been trying to maintain myself. That is why it has been kept secret.” “God willing, I have like eight to ten weeks more to get the transplant done.

It’s strange; I still walk around a little. I can’t eat much though. I trust God and Nigerians for their financial support” the multi-talented producer who produced hits like ‘African Queen” by 2face and “Sengemenge” by KC presh is in need of money to undergo the operation. Well-wishers who want to help can donate to Babatunde Okungbowa through UBA and Zenith and Diamond Bank.

Nollywood continues to rally for OJB Jezreel with donations, by Mavin Records founder, Don Jazzy; Ruggedman,2face Idibia, Iyanya and manager, the Okoyes and few other colleagues and friends. Kelly Hansome released a new single on behalf of OJB urging well meaning Nigerians to support OJB.

Concerts are being organized to help raise more fund. The Lagos concert is tagged 'OJB Must Live Concert' while that of Abuja is tagged 'Abuja Save OJB Concert'.
