WHAT TINSEL HAS BROUGHT TOGETHER! DAMILOLA ADEGBITE AND CHRIS ATTOH ARE ACTUALLY DATING.
They actually look good together. Dunno if the "spotting" or "eyeing" was done on Tinsel or Flower girl location(s) but the news is the ex Tinsel stars, Damilola Adegbite (Telema Duke) and Chris Attoh (Kwame Mensah) are in a steamy relationship and No, this isn't a script from the series/movie. They are for real.
I remember the day Dammy was invited as a guest on Jara and she was asked to pick between Blossom and Chris, she laughed and said, "Chris…. I love dark guys". So she was actually giving us a clue. The lovebirds were spotted few months ago, September to be precise at the London premiere of Flower Girl and then recently in Ghana. " I miss you terribly Nii. Can't wait to be in your arms…" The screen goddess wrote on her Instagram page.
Who wants them to end up like Chucks and Ene? Their marriage got us smiling for a long time. We hope they'll make theirs official too.

MIKEL OBI'S CAF AWARD LOSS: HON PATRICK OBAHIAGBON SAID WHAT AGAIN?
The don has spoken, who are we not to listen/read? Meanwhile, have you all put your iron jackets on? The Chief of Staff, Edo State Government House, Hon. Patrick Obahiagbon has reacted to Nigerian/Chelsea midfielder, John Mikel Obi's CAF award loss, he considers it……….well, whatever you make of his speech.
"I am maniacally bewildered, overgassted and flabberwhelmed at the paraplegic crinkum crankum that characterised the Glo CAF awards culminating in an od oriferous saga cum gargantuan gaga! The jiggery pokery of CAF in crowning Yaya Toure instead of our very own prodigy John Obi Mikel is a veritable bugaboo that must be pooh-poohed by all compos mentis homo sapiens! The perfidy and Mendacity of all the apparatchic of sports suzerainty is not only repugnant but also insalubrious!
I said to my self: What an anathematous disdain of the citizenry! What a deprecable descent from the sublime to the ridiculous! Who will curb the odoriferous excesses of this machavellian and mephistophelean cabal in the Confederation? With this state of affairs, i dare say that African football is swimming in a pestilential aqua with a disastrious terminus ad quem inherently laden with avoidable cataracts, ice bergs and oxbow Lakes. It is sardonic and lugubrious!!!"
*longest sigh ever*

VOX AFRICA INTERVIEW: BASKETMOUTH ADDRESSES RAPE JOKE CONTROVERSY.
Ace Nigerian comedian, Bright 'Basketmouth' Okpocha was recently on Vox Africa London. During the course of the interview, he addressed the rape joke issue that made headlines few days back. Excerpts…
Definitely I am sorry about what happened. The people that it offended…I won't say the people that misunderstood but the people that it offended. It's not like I left Nigeria because of that, I already booked my ticket since three months ago. It limits me though. Now it limits the type of jokes I'm going to be cracking right now. Sadly, every joke hits people the wrong way. If I crack jokes about food, there are people in third world countries saying, 'Why is he cracking jokes about food? Have I chop na?' They will just go on twitter and say 'This guy should stop cracking jokes about food, I haven't eaten'."
On off limit topics.
No. If you're a comedian, you have the power to crack jokes because the truth is humour has no limits. You can crack jokes about death, living, anything you want to crack jokes about. Humour has its own education that sends a message. Everything is funny. Everything in life is funny, there is humour in everything that we do. Society actually structures one. For me, the only thing that limits me is if I go for a church event I won't crack any joke that has any X in it. Then if I go for an event where everyone is drinking and drunk with their wives, I'm not going to be cracking jokes about Noah and Solomon, I have to crack a joke that suits them. I crack my jokes according to the audience. So that's my limit. I limit myself according to the audience, but when it comes to jokes there shouldn't be any limit. But because of the culture and everything, you have to respect the fact that people might find it offensive and just hold back."On Finding jokes offensive
The truth about jokes is no matter what type of joke you crack there are people in the audience that won't find it funny. People get offended for different reasons. Wale Gates was telling me about a joke he cracked about his wife and how someone was upset and said, 'Why would you crack a joke about your wife.' And he said 'Look, she's my wife. If anyone is going to be upset, can you let her be upset?' And she heard the joke before and she wasn't upset. People take jokes in different ways, unfortunately everybody made it look like it's the first joke that I'm cracking. I cracked a joke about "Two things involved" and it ended up being a positive angle and nobody talked about it. The only joke that people like that I've cracked right now is about me dying. I cracked a joke about my funeral and they loved it."Source: Bella Naija!
