RIP WANGARI MAATHAI.

Environmentalist and women’s rights advocate, Wangari Maathai died last night in Kenya. The 71 year old Nobel Peace Prize winner passed on after a protracted battle with cancer.

Her organization, the Green Belt Movement worked to educate people on the dangers of deforestation. In her later years, the organization expanded its focus to include peace, democracy, civil and women’s rights.

Wangari Maathai was a true trailblazer – she was the first woman in East Africa to complete a doctorate and was also the deputy minister for environment and natural resources in Kenya.

May her soul rest in perfect peace.

Abuja Lover Delivers Twins For 9ice

It’s a twin baby a boy nd a girl for singer 9ice and his Abuja-based partner Bukky!
Although the pair would prefer to keep it hush hush, we can reliably tell you that they are taking their relationship a step further with the arrival, early last week, of their first baby together.
Sources close to 9ice tell us the singer -who’s separated from his wife Toni Payne – has been a regular visitor to Abuja, since Bukky – a fair-complexioned older woman – took in last year.
The relationship has never been public, even though those close to the singer are well aware they’re seriously dating.
We cannot tell for now, if the pair is planning to get married; especially as 9ice and Payne are still legally married.

Sources say Bukky’s set of twins was delivered on Monday March 21. The baby is 9ice’s second. His first son named Zion was delivered on Thursday December 4,  2008, at Presbytarian Hospital, Southern California, United States of America.
‘I can tell you for sure that 9ice has gotten the girl pregnant, and she has put to bed. Toni knows. But even her is keeping quiet but it’ll be a source of embarrassment for her‘, one of 9ice’s close friends tells us. He does not want to be named.
‘I can’t tell if he’ll marry her or not. But she’s very close to him and I believe they’re serious‘. He disclosed.
9ice’s manager Dehinde Fajana through a telephone conversation claimed that he is ignorant of the situation and questioned the existence of his boss’ Abuja partner.
‘Is there any partner there? Does 9ice have any partner in Abuja? I’m sorry, I don’t know’ Fajana responded.

Nuhu Ribadu,Fola Adeola, Others Escape Death

Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, the Presidential candidate of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), his running mate, Fola Adeola, and other party chieftains narrowly escaped death yesterday at the Bauchi Airport in Bauchi.  The accident, according to sources in the party, occurred at 12 noon yesterday (Monday) when

the chartered airplane conveying the party stalwarts including Boss Mustapha, Deputy National Chairman of the party and Yusuf Alli, former National Chairman of the All Nigeria Peoples Party; crash landed due to non-clearance of the airport runway by airport authorities. 

   The runway which had been taken over by rams and goats, was not cleared which caused the pilot of the aircraft with number 5BN-BNR to do a forced-landing, damaging the aircraft in the process.  

 The plane conveying the ACN presidential candidate, Nuhu Ribadu, and other  leaders of the party had hovered in the air for about an hour to allow for the runway to be cleared. 

 The party chieftains were attending the ACN presidential rally scheduled for Bauchi today,Tuesday. 

 The Director of Media and publicity of the Nuhu Ribadu Campaign Organisation, Ibrahim Modibbo who confirmed the report said his organization suspected sabotage. 

 “We suspect sabotage and as a matter of urgency we call for an investigation into the immediate and remote cause of the runway invasion,” Modibbo stated. 

 “If not for the expertise of the pilot, we would probably not be saying what we are saying today. 

      “Is it possible for President Jonathan who is also the Presidential candidate of the PDP to be involved in such a situation where the runway he is to land on will be filled by rams, which could have been controlled?”  Modibbo said 

 Mr. Modibbo said the Nuhu Ribadu Campaign Organisation was not asking the PDP government to do it a special favour by guaranteeing safety and security in our airports.

“What we are saying is that no life is more important than the other. Before the present PDP government is booted out by the people, they should at least ensure that our airports, our roads, and our towns and villages are safe enough for everyone including our candidates and particularly during this electioneering period,” he affirmed.

Caroline Ekanem-Danjuma stripped naked by angry Hubby!

These are indeed tough times for ex actress caroline ekanem-danjuma. she is a perfect example of when one says''the rich also cry''.
According to what olofofos are whispering the bubble burst for caroline on new years day
2011.

'She rented an apartment for her former artistes and took a room inside where she used to frolic with her male friends.problem started when caro fell out with those who had her secret meanderings at their palm.these supposed close allies reported her escapdes to an already

suspecting musa danjuma who immediately moved into action.she is accused of haven tango-ed with some of the artistes she signed on guepard records.

The gist rumour making the rounds is that pretty Caroline Danjuma (Nee Ekanem) is having problems in her marriage . The rumoured cause of friction boders on allegations of infidelity on her part.

Because of these allegations she has been incarcerated in her parkview home and placed incommunicado by the hubby after being stripped naked in her matrimonial home in presence of the domestic staff,but for her husbands daughter named Mary,Caro would have been pushed out of her supposed home in parkview.

The actress has been forbidden access to twitter,facebook and any other social network online,the only time she gets to know what is happening is only when the husbands daughter Mary visits her in her mini prison .

Guepard productions/records,the company Caro runs was finally closed down on the 29th of december 2010 under Ty Danjuma's instruction.All the millions of naira given to her to execute projects for the company she squandered all on expensive bags and shoes.
After the closure of the company a certain staff of hers took one of the company's car away and the car was just recovered on friday january 21,2011,the guy and the editor kayode are cooling off in police station as at press time.Also one of her cameras with a mac pro laptop in the editing suite have vanished into thin air.

As at the time of filing this report,the ex actress is not allowed to see her kids and her phones have been confiscated,when she wants to go out,she is not allowed to go out alone and someone escorts her to wherever she wants to go and brings her back.

The family is really trying to cover up this big disgrace because they detest this kind of negative publicity. Guepard records was a big failure because Caro was just interested in spending the money, for the brief period she was boss,she changed 4 general managers in 12 months.4 accountants in 12 months, 3 editors in one year and countless infidelity accusations trail her.

She even fell out with Hilda Ekama,her best friend who used to double as her personal assistant''.

Legendary Footballer Rashidi Yekini Runs Mad, Roams Street Bare Footed

 
In case you have not heard, one of Africa's greatest footballers, Rashidi Yekini, 47, is allegedly in dire straits as regards his sanity. The two-time African footballer of the year now walks the streets of Ibadan barefooted, a development that has shocked many people who knew him from his active playing days. Rashidi is said to suffer delusions, a neurological illness which hinges on belief that is pathological and held, despite evidence to the contrary.
Neighbours at his Oni and Sons Ring Road residence in Ibadan say he's been acting strange for some time now, always seen talking to himself. Sources say sometime late last year, Yekini, in the full glare of neighbours, brought out his belongings and allegedly set it on fire.
Yekini lives alone in his house, has a few tenants and rarely gets visitors. Since his marriage crashed in 1994, he hasn't remarried but has two children who visit him on holidays.
Friends and some of his ex-team mates worried about his mental instability are trying to get him help.
