Still on Tiwa Savage and Tunji ‘Tee Billz’s superlative wedding which is still going on in Lekki, Lagos. Love these ladies’ outfit, so I’m asking, who rocked her Aso-ebi best? Is it Linda Ikeji, Toke Makinwa, Funke Akindele or Agbani Darego? By the way, Agbani Darego looks cute in Aso-Ebi. Let’s hear from you.
The hardworking actress turned 37 yesterday and a surprise birthday party was organized for her. Uche Jombo-Rodriguez, Kate Henshaw, Sexy Steel, Eniola Badmus, Tiwa Savage and many more were present at the event. I like the Jenifa concept
.
The Vita foam ambassador is playing the role of village girl in a new movie called Village Champion. These are some of the location pictures.
Less than a month after nabbing a lucrative deal with Vita foam, Funke Akindele-Oloyede has been named the brand ambassador of another company; her 6th endorsement deal…and you just wonder how she keeps winning them over!
The new deal is with Qlichy.com; a new business portal owned by The Quadrant Company. Speaking on the new deal, the Jenifa star stated that she considers it to be a honour to be the brand ambassador.
"The Qlichy brand besides being the ultimate virtual meeting point and resource centre, is the future. I say this because this new platform will empower a lot of people." She added

Going by these pictures, I think Funke Akindele will be more troublesome in the flick, and Osoufia a big coward. And their marriage is going to be one hell of a journey. We can only guess. Get ready to have your ribs cracked!

Successful yoruba actress, Funke Akindele-Oloyede and popular OAP Steve Onu, also known as Yaw are becoming some brands’ choice comperes. And if anyone has noticed, they anchored many events last year and now this year they will hopefully anchor more, but beyond that, the talented pair have something up their sleeves.
Few weeks after Yaw had the premiere of his new TV sitcom called – ‘Yaw’s n’ Myn’, at the Silverbird Cinemas, the producer and actor has actor is out with another creative programme.
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.
The Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Mrs. Adejoke Orelope Adefulire, fuji maestro K1, as well as other high-profile celebrities have graciously agreed to attend the premiere of Laide Bakare’s multimillion naira movie “JEJERE” (Tumour).
The film parades stars like 9ice, Emeka Ike, Fathia Balogun, Toyin Adegbola, Segun Ogungbe, Akin Lewis and Laide Bakare amongst others.
The 3-part event tagged “An evening with Laide Bakare” will be hosted by comedian Yaw and Funke Akindele, it will hold on Sunday the 13th of January, 2013 at the prestigious Orchid Hotels & Conference Centre, Lekki
The fair-skinned actress will also launching her record Label “Simline Records” and unveiling her first artiste “T Code”. The event will be rounded up with musical performances by King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, indigenous lyrist 9ICE, JJC, Chuddy K and Simline Records signee “T Code”.
“An Evening with Laide Bakare” is put together by Simline International Limited, a company owned by the delectable actress with media support from Muziqglobe World.
It is not unlikely that the 'It's my life' caption bothers on her recent marriage to Almaroof Oloyede.
A hearty congratulations to the winners!
