Trouble in P-Square? Peter Okoye Goes On Twitter Rant

Peter Okoye

P-Square broke hearts in 2015 when news broke that the duo were going to break up. Now it seems once again, that there is trouble brewing in the family.

Paul Okoye tweet 

Fortunately, the problem doesn’t seem to be between the two singing/dancing brothers but with their manager and elder brother, Jude Okoye.

The most vocal P-Square brother, Peter, took to Twitter to express rage at his management and said he wanted “no more family business” saying, “family business can be pain in the ass”. He then went ahead to disown his management which is headed by his brother, Jude Okoye, saying whoever does business with Jude Okoye or his Northside Entertainment outfit does so at his own peril.

According to him, the fans only care about Peter and Paul and he stands with his brother Paul, but is looking to sack his management. He follows by saying Beyoncé has done that before and so has Usher Raymond.

Roberto Mancini has accepted the fate that Inter are a few years behind their rivals. Just two wins in a series of games has seen Inter drop from top spot to sixth on the log. And Mancini is now faced with a tough task of fighting for the third and final UCL slot.

“We’re not giving up, nothing is over and there’s still a long way to go,” he told the Inter Channel.

“It takes time to build a winning team, and I think Inter are a few years behind. We know it’ll take a bit of time and we’ll have to go through difficult spells.

“We did well up until December, but difficult times will come during the season. That’s where you have to be strong, stand up and not give up, even though disappointments can sometimes be bitter.

“Now we have to continue to work, we need more concentration and calmness.”

Banky W is back again with an infectious love song and video, ‘All I Want is You,’ which features Chidinma.

The video is a modern day Nigerian Love story, where we see Banky & Chidinma’s characters falling for each other, despite the disapproval of her parents (played by two of Nigeria’s most iconic and legendary entertainers, Zack Orji & Onyeka Onwenu).

Sperm Of Life: Woman On Death Row Avoids Execution By Getting Pregnant

Work pics2514

Woman on death row avoids execution – A woman on the death row in a prison in Quang Ninh, Vietnam, has managed to avoid execution by getting herself pregnant.

Woman on death row avoids execution 

42-year-old Nguyen Thi Hue was to be executed for drug related offences, but is now off the hook after managing to artificially inseminate herself. According to Mirror UK, Hue bought 2 syringes of sperm from a fellow inmate, 27-year-old inmate Nguyen Tuan Hung for 50 million Vietnamese Dong (N440,000).

According to Vietnamese law, a pregnant woman or a mother whose child is less than 3 years old cannot be executed, but will have their death sentences changed to life imprisonment. It wouldn’t be the first time this loophole in the law has been used, with a female prisoner sleeping with a male inmate back in 2007 in order to avoid the noose.

Opening Photo

Rémy Martin Cognac announced the launch of its new global campaign that recognizes and celebrates individual’s multi-talents in October 2015. Following the selection of DJ Jimmy Jatt, Folarin Falana(Falz the Bahdguy), Noble Igwe; Shina Peller, VJ Adams, Charles Okpaleke are been unveiled as the new set of influencers who embody the brand’s philosophy and lifestyle.

The campaign tagline, One Life/Live Them®, which assumes its grammatical accident, identifies that today’s consumers are not defined by one talent or skill, but are multi-faceted and should be applauded for their many passions. Rémy Martin’s One Life/Live Them campaign encourages consumers to explore and celebrate all their talents. It is a call to live richer, larger lives, to expand the horizon and seize all the wonderful opportunities that life can offer, beyond the one-dimensional paths that former generations could have embraced.

See the campaign video featuring the new influencers below:


INFLUENCER PROFILES

SHINA ABIOLA-PELLER – ENGINEER/ CAPITALIST/ NIGHT LIFE MOGUL/PERFECTIONIST

Chairman, Aquila Group Limited, a multi-million Naira conglomerate with international investments in real estate, hospitality, energy, financial services, entertainment and international trade, Shina is a true example of a man who not only lives many lives, but excels at every single one of them.

RM Artwork2.cdr
Son of the late famous Nigerian magician Professor Abiola Peller, Shina holds a bachelor degree in Chemical Engineering from Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) and a Master’s degree in Business Administration. This is the foundation on which he has gone on to build the vast and diverse empire he is well renowned for today. “Why restrict yourself to one thing when you could excel at several other things,” he says.

Fondly called the “King of Nigerian Nightlife”, Shina’s vision to carve a niche and add value in the hospitality sector led him to set up Quilox Restaurant, Bar and Night Club which was the first purpose built world class night club in Nigeria. He also set up Aquila Records in 2014 in a bid to develop and support young exceptional talents.

ADAMS IBRAHIM – VIDEO JOCKEY/ FASHION ENTREPRENEUR/ RAPPER/ KING OF TALK

Popularly known as VJ Adams “The King of Talk”, Ibrahim was born Lagos State to the royal family of Oba Adetoye Ibefun Ogun state. The native of Ogun State, he obtained a diploma degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Lagos before proceeding to obtain a BBC certification in broadcasting.

And, being by nature a very patient, practical and efficient person who excels in matters of business, Ibrahim has gone on to broaden his horizons and also prosper as a fashion entrepreneur, rapper, and executive music producer.

CEO, Embruto Denims by VJ Adams and Smada Entertainment, Ibrahim believes there’s no second shot at living this one life so why not live them to the maximum.

CHARLES OKPALEKE – NIGHTLIFE TYCOON/ HEALTH ECONOMIST/ LECTURER/ SILVER TONGUE

A Medical Laboratory Scientist by discipline, one would naturally assume that Charles would be the nerdy, cloak-clutching, single-minded type but he is far from this science stereotype. This be-spectacled gentleman is a top entertainment entrepreneur; Charles is CEO and co-founder of one of Nigeria’s biggest and most successful nightlife chains: the Play Entertainment Network.
Charles Opaleke Photo
His foray into entertainment does go beyond just nightlife and hospitality too as he’s also a Nollywood movie producer. A firm believer that life is all about giving back, he says: “A tight fisted Hand is unable to receive.” This philosophy birthed the other aspects of his multi-facetted life: he’s a lecturer at the University of Nigeria, and also a United Nations Health Economics Consultant.

 Opening Photo
Rémy Martin remains committed to the core principles and values that its founders used to establish the company more than 290 years ago. Supporting the community, highlighting skills and revealing the talents of people and nature, honoring craftsmanship and embracing the luxury of time enables Rémy Martin to cultivate the most premium products.  It is this depth of history and skillful mastery that goes into every bottle of Rémy Martin Cognac.

“Rémy Martin has always been about sharing – the fruits of our labors, the talents of our cellar masters, a range of cognacs crafted to suit different tastes but always with a distinctive style. It’s a philosophy which strikes us as tailor-made for today’s social networked world,” said Augustin Depardon, Executive Director of Rémy Martin. “The most inspiring people are never just one thing, they are diverse and multitalented and we can’t wait to discover their passions.  Just like Rémy Martin. “

Keep a look out for some of the other men Rémy Martin recognizes and admires over the coming months.

Romance was definitely in the air and love was ‘turned up’ courtesy of André.







The couple was treated to an array of tantalizing intercontinental dishes served with André Brut.
Junior said he thought he would never win and just participated in the competition for the fun of it, a decision he will always be glad he made.

He described it as an awesome experience! Novella also expressed her excitement about the night and the opportunity to spend Valentine with her loved one in a magical dream come true.

André made the couple’s wish come true as Junior and Novella had never envisaged such an awesome experience, carefully planned with every promise kept.

André also shared the Valentine’s celebration with fans at its sampling booth located at the Ikeja City Mall last weekend. There, the new additions to the André Portfolio: Ruby Red, Moscato Spumante and Pink Moscato were sampled by couples, friends and shoppers. 

The rich purple setting exuded an air of elegance and class, a welcoming ambience for many shoppers and fun seekers at the mall who trooped in excitedly, eager to have a taste of the new variants of André and take pictures with the ‘half-car’ photo booth, which was a focus of attention.

Ronda Rousey suicidal after Holly Holm loss 

“I was literally sitting there and thinking about killing myself and that exact second I’m like ‘I’m nothing, what do I do anymore and no one gives a sh*t about me anymore without this,’ ” she said amidst tears on the Ellen DeGeneres Show.

“To be honest I looked up and I saw my man Travis was standing up there and I looked up at him and I was like, I need to have his babies. I need to stay alive.”

“I was like why did this happen? I do believe all the best things come from the worst things,” she went on. “Every worst thing that happened in my life resulted in the absolute best things and I tried to think what is the reason of all this and I’m thinking like what my actual purpose is and maybe just winning all the time isn’t what’s best for everybody.”
