Davido acquires N140 million home in Lekki

And he's just 20. Damn! :-) The music star just acquired a property in Lekki Phase1. I mentioned N140 million because that was what the property was on the market for but I can't say for sure if that's what Davido paid for it. The acquisition of the house was concluded between yesterday and today. The house is close to where his father also has a house in Lekki. #bigboythings. Big congrats to him!

Hong Kong businessman offers $65m to any man who can turn his gay daughter straight

Oya, Naija men start dusting your passport...Hong Kong beckons..:-). One of Hong Kong's richest men, 76year old Cecil Chao Sze-tsung, is offering $65 million to any man who can turn his gay daughter straight, and walk her down the aisle. Cecil Chao made the offer after his daughter Gigi, 33, married her girlfriend of seven years, Seab Eav in France. 

The old man has refused to accept that his daughter is married as same-sex marriages are not recognised in Hong Kong...and now he's offering not just money but also to start his potential son-in-law up in his own business  
'I don’t mind whether he is rich or poor – the important thing is that he is generous and kind-hearted,’ he told the South China Morning of the ideal husband for his daughter.

'Why I'm close to D'banj and not Don Jazzy' - Rapper, Ikechukwu

"I have heard a lot about my relationship with D'banj. Some people call me his houseboy, bouncer, and the rest, but let me say this, I have been close to D'banj since day one. The first time I saw him was at Obi Asika's house, when he was about signing to Storm Records...and if you're observant, you would have discovered that we have similar features; he's lepa just like me and we have same swagger. So we've created some kind of bond right from time which I was not opportuned to share with Don Jazzy. I only find people that find me, simple! Those that I am important to are those that are important to me. I am just chilling with D'banj and now that he's making a stand abroad, it's going to be stupid of me not to utilize the situation he already has. So, we are not just friends, we are also doing business" - The rapper tells Encomium magazine in an exclusive interview

Aerial view images of flooding around River Niger in Lokoja

The images were released by the National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, and shows the extent of the flooding in the city caused by the overflowing River Niger, which is virtually cutting off the Northern part of the country from the South. A lot of small villages in Lokoja and Kogi will soon be wiped out if nothing is done soon. The flooding has left many dead, thousands homeless, and movement from one place to the other impossible.

The flooding started about two weeks ago after Cameroon released water from the Lagdo Dam.
The minister of works said that the level of water seen in the past two weeks has not been seen in the last 100 years.

The federal government has contracted three major construction companies to free the submerged Lokoja-Abuja highway from flooding...and NEMA is currently camping thousands of displaced flood victims. More photos when you continue...

Omotola J. Ekeinde reacts to husband's alleged sack from Air Nigeria

 
The screen diva two days ago reacted to reports that went viral last week suggesting her pilot husband, Captain Matthew Ekeinde, was sacked from the Jimoh Ibrahim owned Air Nigeria, which shut down operation for a year and let go of more than 95% of its staff.

After she reacted to the reports, some people suggested that the actress was dishonest for debunking the rumour because the only pilots left at Air Nigeria are the Director of Flights Operation and Chief Pilot. But here's the thing; Captain Ekeinde was not particularly sacked by Air Nigeria, but he was among the 800+ people affected by the airline's decision to shut down operation for over a year.

Update: 30 million Naira fee tears Charly Boy, Nigerian Idol apart!

I told you guys a few days ago that Charly Boy may be on his way out of the music talent show where he was a judge last season. I've been digging and sources close to the music reality show, which is scheduled to start shooting soon, said that the showbiz impresario is allegedly asking for 30 million Naira before he will be part of the judging panel for next season.
Charly Boy and the producers of Nigerian Idol have had several meetings in the past but they all ended in deadlock as the Area Fada is said to be insisting on more money. 

I hear Optima Media Group, producers of NI, may soon be looking for a replacement for Charly Boy if they don't resolve their issues soon but hopefully they will. He brought so much to the show last year...
