Actor IK Ogbonna: Why I Got Jesus Face & Bible Verse Tattoos
In a recent chat with The Entertainer, Nollywood actor IK Ogbonna described how his female admirers are reacting to his body art.
“They love my tattoos. If I wasn’t an actor I’d probably have more because when I started acting I realised that tattoos will hinder me. There are certain roles you can’t play and that would restrict you. Why I Got My Tattoos
“Every tattoo on my body has a meaning. There is one which means a ‘star was born.’ I believe I was born to be a star. I did not have a great voice but I knew I was going to be a star. I had this many years before I started acting. Another is the face of Jesus, He means everything to me. He is the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Him.
There is one on Psalm 23 and Psalm 121 and there is also a rose which means peace.”
Genevieve Nnaji ‘ Engaged’ To Ngozi Okonjo ’ s Son, Uzodinma Iweala
Nollywood heartthrob, Genevieve Nnaji attended the Lagos premiere of the Netflix produced movie
entitled ‘Beasts of No Nation’ last Saturday, but that didn’t inch close to being newsy until a wrong stunt was pulled. Uzodinma Iweala, son of
Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, who wrote the book Beasts of No Nation from which the movie was adapted, went flat on his knees to propose to
Genevieve who was resplendent in a knee-length ankara dress.
Getting up to that kind of trick on the red carpet…? That was a joke maybe taking a wee bit too far. It’s difficult to trifle with perhaps the most coveted thing in one’s life. One of the best things to hit Nigerian showbiz industry is what this cerebral author just toyed with, but if the recipient of the proposal had not complained, why should the rest of us?
When the photograph made its way into the Internet, many were fooled by the photo as it looked too real to be a stunt. Until the author
shared the picture on Instagram and captioned it “She didn’t say yes, but she didn’t say no either. Thank you to @genevievennaji for supporting
#beastsofnonation. Your presence means so much.”
Sometime in October, Genevieve Nnaji, 36, said she was not bothered about her single status in an interview with Encomium Weekly, “Obviously companionship is great, but the fact that I am working and I am busy keeps my mind busy. If
you are busy, you will not bother about things that are not there. I will rather appreciate the ones that are there. [Saturday Telegraph]
Don’t Rush Me into Marriage, Dbanj Pleads with Nigerians
If you think hip hop crooner, Dbanj, is pondering settling down anytime soon, then forget it!The ‘Koko master’ as he is fondly called, is at the moment promoting a soon-to-be released extended play project.
At a recent get-together, the singer pleaded with fans not to rush him into marriage. News had gone round earlier that the musician was planning a quiet wedding before the end of the year – a claim he has since denied. Saturday Beats reports that D'Banj said:
“Just because I said I am getting married soon,everyone is impatient. The year has not ended so people should be patient and not be in a hurry about me getting married. I will get married when I am ready and not when the world wants me to. Marriage is a lifetime journey,” he said.
Your Mobile Phone Is More Than 5 Years Old, You Won’t Have Internet In 2016
SAN FRANCISCO — On the morning of Jan. 1,2016, anyone with a cell phone more than five years old will be unable to access the encrypted web — which includes sites like Facebook,Google, and Twitter — according to a new plan to upgrade the way those sites are verified.
It might not be a big deal in New York or San Francisco, where a 5-year-old phone is treated as an antique, but in some parts of the developing world up to 7% of internet users could find themselves suddenly cut off from the world’s
most popular sites, according to research recently published by Facebook and CloudFlare.
A full country list, showing the percentage of people who will be cut off, is on CloudFlare’s blog, but some of the most affected countries
will be Yemen (5.25% of browsers), Egypt (4.8%),and China, with over 6% of the country no longer being able to safely access encrypted sites. It
might not seem like a lot, but Prince says over 37 million people could be affected.
These are some of the numbers published by CloudFlare. According to cybersecurity experts,Facebook’s numbers of estimated people
affected are even higher.

Nicki Minaj Goes Topless For Billboard Magazine
Nicki Minaj is rounding out the year by being on the cover of Billboard Magazine’s last issue for 2015.
In the magazine (which she covered topless) the 33-year-old rapper talks about her music, her views about Hilary Clinton as well as her
relationship with Meek Mill.
See excerpts below.
On Meek Mill and her rings : He and I are not engaged. But he said he would like to give me three rings before we get married. My birthday’s
coming up, and he better get the new one,because he got [the first one] for my last birthday. So let’s see what happens.On being in a high profile
relationship: Yeah, we speak about it. We actually spoke with Jay Z and
Beyoncé about it, too. After our show at [Brooklyn’s] Barclays Center [in October], we had dinner together. They were so giving with advice.
I love them so much. It was just a beautiful conversation to have with people we love and we look up to as a couple. They’re so strong.
On Meek Mill : I don’t know what’s going to happen with he and I. I just know right now we are really, really enjoying each other’s company.
So, shout out to everybody in the world that’s just trying to find love or be happy. Everybody should have someone to hold at night. It really,really changes your energy. I find that my energy is very different afterward — if I’m in the bed with him, just hugging him all day. It’s just, like, something about love. You transfer it. It’s infectious.

Supreme Court Set to Hang or Free Rev King Ezeugo
The supreme court sitting in Abuja has fixed February 26, 2016, for judgment in the appeal filed Chukwuemeka Ezeugo, general overseer of the Christian Praying Assembly (better known as
Reverend King) challenging the judgement of a Lagos high court sentencing him to death by
hanging.According to a statement by Bola Akingbade,deputy director, press and public relations at the
Lagos state ministry of justice, the apex court,presided over by Justice Walter Onoghen,adjourned for judgment after entertaining
arguments from counsel to prosecution and defence in the matter.
Akingbade said that Adeniji Kazeem, Lagos state attorney-general and commissioner for justice, appeared before the supreme court alongside
Idowu Alakija, director of public prosecution and other senior counsel in the state, urging the court to
dismiss the appeal and uphold the judgment of the lower courts.
Ezeugo was arraigned on September 26, 2006 on a six-count charge of attempted murder and murder. He pleaded not guilty to the allegation but was sentenced to death by the then Justice Joseph Oyewole of the Lagos state high court,Ikeja, on January 11, 2007, for the murder of one of his church members, Ann Uzoh. Justice Oyewole is now a judge of Appeal Court sitting in the Calabar division. The Lagos state government had said that the
convict poured petrol on the deceased and five other persons and that Uzoh died on August 2,2006 – 11 days after the act was perpetrated on her. Specifically, Ezeugo was convicted and sentenced to 20 years imprisonment for the attempted murder, and death by hanging for the offence of murder.Dissatisfied, he challenged the verdict before the Court of Appeal in Lagos, but the appeal was thrown out.
’’I hereby rule that the prosecution effectively discharged the burden of proof on it. This appeal is devoid of any basis and accordingly fails,”
Justice Fatimo Akinbami had said while reading the judgement.
“The judgment of the High Court is hereby affirmed, and the conviction imposed on the same appellant, (which is death by hanging) is also
affirmed.”Amina Augie and Ibrahim Saulawa, the two other members of the panel of Justices, concurred with
the lead judgement. Again, Ezeugo not being satisfied with the verdict, approached the supreme court, seeking invalidation of the judgement.The apex court has now reserved judgment, theCable.ng reports.
