SAVE PA KASUNMU: GOVERNOR FASHOLA INTERVENES
I heard the news yesterday but I wanted to be sure of my facts. Contrary to the news making rounds that the Executive Governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Fashola donated the sum of N2million for the medical bills of ailing actor, Kayode Odumosu, popularly called Pa Kasunmu, he only assigned a team of medical doctors to review his case and refer him to specialists.
According to Seun Oloketuyi, CEO, Best of Nollywood, "He was reached and the Government house doctors were given strict instructions to take him to a specialist and recommend what necessary treatment he requires. There is no where Gov Fashola and his aides discussed money with anyone, the N2m donation is totally false. The Governor is a structured person and due process is being done to ensure Pa kasunmu gets the best treatment"
The 60 year old actor has been battling with Kidney and liver related ailment since 2009. He recently reached out to well-meaning Nigerians to help him raise the sum of N12m for his treatment (secondary prevention of repeat stroke)

ROBIN VAN PERSIE MAKES HISTORY
I hope RVP will replicate this success in Manchester United. He doesn't necessarily have to out-score any legend (well that won't be bad) but scoring as many goals as possible and making the club come tops.
DAME PATIENCE JONATHAN GETS FOURTH HONORARY DOCTORATE DEGREE
According to Sung-Hae Kim, President and Chancellor of the awarding institution, "She's a humanitarian who has dedicated her life to working for the less privileged in Nigeria and Africa especially for women and children. Her vision as the defender of the poor in Nigeria fits into Hansei University's motto of a practising Christian. Now she's part of our community.
"I was surprised that she travelled here for the Church Growth International conference year back to pray for Nigeria." Yonggi Cho, Co-founder, Hansei University also added.
Reacting to the honour, Dame Patience said "I was just doing my own thing not knowing that in far away Asia everything was being noted. I want to assure you all that with God's help I will do more, My grandma used to say: `Whatever little you have, share; If you have a thousand and you can't share, you won't share a million if you have".
Carry on Mama! *blushing endlessly*

DEAR SINGLE LADIES, CHARLY BOY HAS ANOTHER EPISTLE FOR YOU
Here’s another write-up from the Area Fada, Charly boy. Titled, “I must marry”. I find it insightful. Enjoy!!!
Wanting so badly to get hooked is something many people seem to take far too lightly and for granted these days. Something some of them feel they should do to win acceptance from people and society. These days’ people look at the package and never the content, forgetting that marriage should be a life time commitment of two strangers. In some cases the marriage may workout, like, Charles and Diane, Tunde and
Wummie. But most of the time it falls like a park of cards, because as people are rushing to get in, people are rushing to get out, at an alarming rate. Kai!!
These days break ups and divorce has become the trend as soon as the honey Moon is over. People use to think that divorce rate is only high amongst celebrities, but now, across board,
couples are falling asunder, going under the pressure of a very bad decision , just because they Must Marry. In these hard times, people are blowing and burning
pots of money on very fancy weddings that really don’t last after the honey moon.
In this age, some parents still pressure their daughters in getting married early. It’s like, once your girl crosses the 30yrs bracket, they start to panic, getting anxious and putting pressure on their girl to get married, like it is that easy. She just can’t go to the market and buy a husband, or can she? When the poor girl insists on finding her dream man, she is accused of being unserious. Parents please learn to back off joor, it’s not by force. After all, are they the ones who will leave with the spouse?
There is nothing wrong with waiting for the right person, because if it is the razzmatazz of the wedding things that you enjoy, go ahead and throw yourself a big nonstop party for a whole week. After
all, weddings are just one day event, but a marriage is supposed to be a life time thing. I know that weddings are fun, romantic and you can finally tell your girlfriends, boyfriends or your sugar daddy’s that you have finally captured your own ‘mugu’.
But has this guy been tried and tested? Dating and courting is a different matter from ‘Till Death Do You Part’. Living with one human being for the rest of your life. My sister look the thing well oooo. Bebe, do you have an idea how your guy functions in rough weather? When reality bites, is he calm or does he freak out? Do you share the same interest in some
things? Bebe, before you rush into this marriage, it is important to learn where your partner stands on the bigger issues of your life together.
Do you have the same values? Sit him down and have a long talk about these and other issues that are of importance
to you, you may discover that chances of a long lasting marriage could be slimmer; women are intuitively wired to pick up these things. Are you a learner?
For me, I got hooked up with a woman I never saw coming and a woman I will never let go.
When I met my wife, she was not even a girlfriend or a lover. I liked her physically, because she had and still have curves that men would die for, but she was never my idea of a wife. She kept hanging around like other beautiful women around me; it was more or less a
platonic relationship. All the time I didn’t know I was under the microscope of the FBI and the CIA.
She was to tell me all this after our marriage. Even though we
dated for about 3yrs, in my wildest dream I never saw her coming till one morning after sleeping over, she woke me up, looked me straight into my sleepy eyes and demanded that I marry her in the next few days or she will leave me. Wow! Before then, no one ever threatened me like that, no one ever gave me ultimatums. Who born them? Me CharlyBoy?
Little did I know that this woman for years has been doing research on me, this woman has seen me ‘finish’, figured out how to arrest and deal with me. When I was much younger, I had a very violent temper, I was obnoxious. And she had witnessed me a few times in my rage with other women. “Ain’t you afraid that I will hurt or harm you” to that she answered, “you can never hurt or harm me because I will never give you a reason to” hummmmmm!!! Oh! See finish.
Bebe, it’s easy to know what you are getting into. If in doubt, investigate, set exams for the guy. I believe women are emotionally smarter than men. You must
know who you want to marry, it’s important for your happiness. You don’t deserve scrap especially if you are hardworking, intelligent, progressive and forward looking. Investigate him from all angles, don’t be in a rush joor. You don’t deserve that heartache because
the way marriages are crashing, it’s making me catch cold.
With the way things are going, very soon we will be throwing divorce parties and inviting friends and well-wishers to celebrate divorce anniversaries. They
will choose asoebe, hire a big hall, with Dbanj as the entertainer and Julius Agu as the MC. Even questions like, “when are you getting your divorce” will be the
buzz. So if you know you can’t handle the pressure, remain single. If the man is still under investigation, please take your time, don’t rush.
If you know that you are too horny to be faithful, biko remain single and have a ball. If you can’t endure bad weather from time to time, stay in your father’s house joor. Never get married out of desperation or because other people are getting married. If you want a beautiful home, like mine, examine your choice of a life partner, there are a lot of gigolos out there preying on desperate babes like you. But show them say you pass them. No be you?
MEET NIGERIA'S YOUNGEST MICROSOFT CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL
The brilliant chap scored 769 out of 1,000 in the professional examination held two months ago in Lagos. He is now a Microsoft office specialist in office word 2010.
Jomiloju mentioned that it was not all that easy, "I had attempted the examination last year, I did not make it then. But I remained focused and I put in a lot of hard work. At home and in the school, I am always on the computer. After school hours, if am not doing anything, I will go to my Information Communication Technology teacher, to learn more."
However he isn't resting on his oars, he is still willing to get more Microsoft certifications. "I still want to sit for more examinations. I will still do excel and power points." He added.
STEPHANIE OKEREKE-LINUS SIGNS NEW ENDORSEMENT DEAL
The tall and delectable filmmaker has just been appointed as a brand ambassador for Diva Sanitary pad. Speaking during the a press conference in Lagos, the Kankelon hair ambassador noted, "Divas brand vision in Africa is very straightforward, they want to enable all girls and women of today to lead a quality life and take pride in being a woman just like me. That is why I am so excited about this campaign!"
"WE NEVER CAN TELL WHAT GOD PLANS FOR GENEVIEVE& I" D'BANJ
"Apart from the fact that she is my friend, she has been a part of my success. There is no way you are going to tell my story that Genevieve's name will not come up because she featured in my biggest song of all time, Fall in Love. So if E! True Story comes to Nigeria to interview me, she will definitely be called upon to tell my story." Banga Lee revealed
The self-acclaimed Koko Master continued, "I would love to have Genevieve as my wife. We never can tell what God plans for us in the future. I have studied her and I realised that anyone that has her as his woman has found himself a treasure. Just like the Bible says, any man who finds a wife, finds a good thing."
In other news, D'banj would be celebrating his 10 years anniversary of his music career next year. Doesn't it feel like he's spent like 15/20 years in the industry? It's called good Success!!!
