RED CARPET: GLITTERING AND GLAMOUR PIX FROM 2011 BON AWARDS!
Okay! Finally.. we have some of the scintilating, glitzy photos from the just concluded Best Of Nollywood Awards (BON) 2011 organised by the enterprising Seun Oloketuyi! Present were lots of actors & actresses from what I like to call 'Young Nollywood' or 'Nollywood: Next Generation'. Can you spot them out? Feast your eyes, people! Lol!
Nollywood Actress Kate Henshaw Nuttal Ends Her 12 Years Marriage…Too Busy To Be Married!
Nollywood Actress Kate Henshaw Nuttal has ended her marriage of 12 years to her British husband-Roderick James Nuttal.
Citing ‘irreconcilable differences’ as the ground for the divorce, the two have decided to end the marriage on good terms and join hands together to support and raise their 11 year old daughter-Ella.
Kate,40, is said to be extremely busy with work and surely a marriage will not work when the man is also in the same busy ship running around with corporate responsibilities.
Both seem to be too busy to be married so I guess the decision to end it is right for all of them except the little innocent girl!

YQ rocks Industry Nite @The African Bar In Oriental Hotels
It's been a long time coming for YQ in the music industry, he has labored endlessly and with passion for what he is doing(music).
''If I am not doing anything I would be doing music'' so said the R n’B sensational singer.
At the industry nite he performed his newest single ‘tonight” which will also be in his forth coming album.
His friends and record label family came to show him love and support. It was a great night for us all.
The reason D'Banj didn't go to Channel O Awards & KAS ALBUM LAUNCH!
The Channel O Awards is taking place tonight and our very own Koko master will be getting two awards. Most gifted artist and a Special Recognition Award. Unfortunately D'banj won't be there to receive the award...he's not in SA, he's in Nigeria.
... I hear D'Banj and his crew planned to storm the award, where he was also billed to perform, but on getting to the airport yesterday to travel to SA, they discovered that the Channel O Awards organisers had gotten him an economy ticket, instead of at least a business class ticket, which I guess he's accustomed to. So he and his crew turned back
But the two parties are saying it was mostly a communication break down...D'Banj had been placed on a wait list for a business class ticket but the flights were fully booked for days etc etc...
So since he won't be there live, the Channel O people went to his Lekki home to record an acceptance speech which will be aired during the show when his award is announced.
He was also absent from KASBEAT ALBUM LAUNCH due to this same reason of going to get an award from channel O.
Was D'Banj right to refuse to fly Economy? I don't know...I kind support him on this sha...he's definitely earned the right to fly first class. But if it were me, no economy ticket will stop me from attending a show where I'm being honored...but that's me..:-)See More

Heavy D is dead The hip hop star has passed on
US recording artist Heavy D, the self-proclaimed "overweight lover" of hip-hop, who became one of rap's biggest stars in the 1980s, has died aged 44. He died on Tuesday after being found unconscious at his Los Angeles home.
Tweets of the day: Between MI and Terry G
MI asked a simple, harmless question on twitter yesterday...Terry G apparently didn't get it or thought he was being made fun of and replied rudely (Below)
Totally uncalled for but kinda funny...:-)

Terry G Goes In HARD On MI
LOL! Plz Note: Don’t tweet “sensitive jokes” at Terry G. He won’t get it, and sure, he will “pop off”
MI got under Terry G’s skin with this funny question. I guess kelly hansome is somewhere laughing at this…
“Pls.. What does akpako mean?”
“So apparently.. Terry G alone understands the deep mysteries of akpako..” MI tweeted
“So apparently.. Terry G alone understands the deep mysteries of akpako..” MI tweeted
Well, Like Terry G misunderstood MI’s innocuous tweet, and he replied with curse
“@MI_Abaga Africa DanGba nomba 1,short dwarf,u 4 try ask me naaa,wat do u fink,chop chicken!!”
“@MI_Abaga Africa DanGba nomba 1,short dwarf,u 4 try ask me naaa,wat do u fink,chop chicken!!”
And he also retweeted (endorsed) random tweets that replied MI with insults.
In case you wondering what he meant by “chop chicken”
He explained it
“Anybody who doesn’t wish U well,tell dem “CHOP CHICKEN nd die”
That is to say, “MI should chop chicken and die”
And who knows the meaning of “Dangba”?
He explained it
“Anybody who doesn’t wish U well,tell dem “CHOP CHICKEN nd die”

And who knows the meaning of “Dangba”?
Terry G’s reply sparks MI beef speculation!!

Rochas Okorocha Gives Imo School Children N100 Monthly Stipend
So the Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha on November 1 commenced the payment of monthly stipend to all primary and secondary schools students in the state. The allowance is for their 'upkeep'.
The primary school pupils will receive N100, while their secondary school counterparts will get N120.
Primary school monitors will get N120, while prefects in the secondary schools will receive N150.
I don't know whether to commend this or laugh. N100 per month? What do you buy with N100? Kuli Kuli? lol. Why not buy them books, school uniforms, sandals, build libraries and equip the schools with more facilities, etc.. just anything to make the learning environment more conducive for these young people, instead of giving them money that will make no difference in their lives. #Justsaying.
