Titled ‘The Bar’, the 2-man play which also stars Funke Akindele-Oloyede will be staged at Muson Center, Onikan on 6th March, 2013. Billed to be present at the show are top music acts like Iyanya, MI as well as comedians.

According to Yaw, the play is not your conventional comedy show but, it’s more of a ‘satire. “I believe a satire should be like a rubber sword. It doesn’t pierce like a real sword would; but the person it touches will definitely feel the impact.

The audience should expect twists and turns in the performances, suggestive innuendos and plenty of meanings in between the lines of the script. But they should also expect to laugh, because at the end of the day, it is comedy.” He affirmed.

He wasn’t born like this. He deformed his face for a purpose. And guess what? Tang Shuquan has not only secured a spot in the Guinness Book of Records, this Chinese also got the sum of $10,000.

That’s not all. He’s promised to dish out $15,000 to anyone who can present an uglier face. I’m sure some people in some part of the world are working to beat his record. Goodluck to them!

PHOTOS: STELLA DAMASUS AND DANIEL ADEMINOKAN UNVEIL 'CODE 55' STORE

From being friends to business partners, maybe some people just need to come out clean. Maybe they are just friends and nothing more. Remember I said maybe.

Nollywood actress Stella Damasus and director, Daniel Ademinokan have just launched their multi-millionnaira store, “Code 55” in Abuja.

But what exactly is behind the name Code 55? “People say there is a mystery about me and they say the same thing about Stella. But trust me, maybe you have to buy a decoder before you can decode who we are. For the 55, I was born 31 July and Stella is 24 April. If you add 31 and 24, you will get 55″. Now that’s a cool one, don’t you think? I love the idea behind it.” Daniel Ademinokan who was once married to Doris Simeon explained.

Situated at Index Two Studio Plaza, Road 69, Gwarinpa II Abuja, it boasts of a unisex boutique and a music studio for live bands and music-related events.
