I am the 40th Oba of Benin Kingdom not 39th - Newly Crowned Oba Ewuare II

After the Oba ascended the throne, yesterday 20th October which coincidentally was his 63rd birthday, King Ewuare II made a very important correction. He said he is the 40th Oba of Benin Kingdom and not the 39th as reported by the media and felt it was important to correct the notion.

New Oba of Benin 1st 3wives to Live as Outcasts as 7th Virgin wife becomes Crown Queen

The coronation ceremony of the new Oba of Benin was an eye opener that came with lots of revelations. My previous update revealed that the Oba has already chosen  three virgin girls to be his bride.

Two days prior to the grand coronation ceremony , the new Oba was at Useh where two significant events were carried out. He chose a name he will be called when he is finally crowned and chose his 4th virgin bride who eventually will be the crown Queen of the Benin Kingdom. Having had three prior to his coronation, and considering the three virgin brides picked earlier, the last virgin bride is officially his 7th wife.

Linda Ikeji puts Herself at Risk as She competes with Germany-Based Stella Dimoko Korkus

There is a popular saying amongst youngsters that ‘ To whom brain is given, sense is expected’ but it seems common sense isn’t so common as the silence war between blogger Linda Ikeji and her colleague, Stella Dimoko Korkus has made the former lost her sense of reasoning.

After my article on Laura (see here), an insider who was pleased with the article decided to bless me with some information, hence the reason for this write-up. The ‘Insider’ alleged that the reason Ms IKeji flaunts her wealth on social media pages is to make Stella jealous and green with envy

Laura Ikeji; Linda's Lousy Sister that hides in Plane's tail when Flying Economy

Laura ikeji is one name that makes people frown. Just the sound of that name can change the mood of many social media users. A lady who desperately wants to be popular by all and any means possible. Her claim to fame is riding on the back of her sister, Linda Ikeji.

I actually admire her drive and how far she has come with little or nothing; her rags to riches story is quite inspiring and her project that takes young girls out of the street is highly commendable. The person that has annoyingly triggered this write up is the infamous Laura ikeji as she proudly calls herself.

2face Idibia’s career in Free Fall like the Nigerian Naira

I love 2faceIdibia, he is absolutely gorgeous and so is his music. His passion for music can never be under estimated and thankfully the gods of music did bless him as his longevity and continuous rise in the Nigerian music industry and by extension African prior to his marriage can be compared to none.

What is more admirably is the fact that this Legend refused to join the bandwagon of ‘noisemakers’ over the years; he did stick to good music and his creativity is top notch. A man well admired by his colleagues who are so quick to sing his praises. His humility is a story for another day as such hardly exists among mortals.
