Back in the days, most people do everything possible to add up to their
ages just to claim being matured, but that is gradually fading away
nowadays.
The menace of
age reduction almost started in the Nigerian civil service where most
workers try to stay longer in service after clocking the retirement age
of 60 or 35 years in service.
The menace then moved to the
football profession where some Nigerian footballers have a 'football
age' with the hope of playing in Europe by claiming a far younger age.
For now, the virus of age reduction is like a stiff competition between the civil service in Nigeria and Nigerian footballers.
The entertainment industry might soon join the club of age reduction bug in Nigeria.
Few days ago, 'bad girl' actress turned Evangelist, Eucharia Anunobi added a year and her fans sent birthday wishes to her.
In her official biography, her date of birth reads 'May 25, 1965', but Evangelist Eucharia has denied being 48.
According to the Imo State-born screen diva, "yes, I appreciate the messages I received as I celebrated my birthday but took exception to the wrong information that am 48 years old. Where on earth did you guys get such an age from for me?
"I
would like to state here, without mincing words, that am not 48 years,
even my mother was not married to my dad as at 48 years ago, and she is
even yet to be 60 years."
The question now is, how old is Evangelist Eucharia Anunobi? Is she hoping to contest for Miss Nigeria competition?

Dressed in all white with his left arm bandaged, the 28 year old, who is
accused of murdering Lee Rigby, 25, a fortnight ago, stood in the dock flanked by two police officers and a prison guard. As he arrived in the courtroom he appeared to blow a kiss to a friend in the public gallery, gripped a copy of the Koran throughout and refused to stand in the dock.
He was remanded in custody and will appear at the Old Bailey within 48 hours. Earlier he was swept into Westminster Magistrates Court in an armoured vehicle led by a police convoy. A number of armed officers formed a ring of steel and shut off roads around the court in central London.
Meanwhile the other key suspect in the Drummer Rigby case refused to appear at the Old Bailey today. Michael Adebowale, 22, told prison staff he did not want to go on video link to the court for a statutory bail hearing.

A beautiful baby girl is all smiles after being born with a pair of front teeth.
Newborn Imogen Elliot, from South Wales, was born with a pair of pearly whites in her lower jaw – to the amazement of her mother, Stacey Lewis, 24.
The two-week-old left midwives at the Royal Gwent Hospital, in Newport, baffled as they noticed the pair of natal teeth, usually baby teeth which have come through early.
Natal teeth – which happen in just one in every 2,000 babies – are teeth that are present when the baby is born and are usually baby teeth which have come through early.
The teeth are sometimes loose because the root is not completely
developed, and have to be removed, but little Imogen's teeth were given
the all-clear.
Mother Stacey Lewis said: 'As soon as Imogen was born, the midwives put her on my chest and I spotted them straight away.
'They're pretty noticeable- and I certainly wasn't expecting my baby to be born with teeth! I don't think the midwives knew what to say – they had never seen anything like it before.'
Midwives would not let the new family leave the hospital until they had spoken to a specialist pediatrician. When they confirmed the teeth were secure they were told they could go home.
Father Scott Elliott, 27, said: 'We were worried the teeth might be
loose, but she was checked out by a specialist who said she was fine.'
Ms Lewis added: 'All these different midwives kept popping in and asking to see 'the baby with the teeth', it was funny.
'Our family were really shocked – they had never even heard of it before. That's when we realised how rare it is.
'We'll be booking her in for her first dental appointment soon, just to make sure they are growing properly.'
A mother and daughter duo who make porn films together are looking for a father-son team willing to join them on camera.
Jessica Sexxxton, 56, and her daughter, Monica, 22, have been shooting
sex scenes together for the last 18 months for their own self-titled website, sometimes sharing the same partner, but not at the same time and never with each other -- a technicality that keeps their films from being legally considered incest.
Now the Tampa, Fla.-based twosome are hoping to take their unorthodox relationship to the next level, with a nationwide search for a real father and son willing to shoot a porn film scene with them.
"It's something we've considered for a while," Jessica Sexxxton told The Huffington Post. "We once dated brothers in
real life on and off for a couple of years. They were closer to
[Monica's] age, but we haven't done a father and son in real life or on camera."
Like the Sexxxtons, the father and son won't have sex with each other,
but Monica already has the scenario for this sordid family affair in
mind.
"Something like, 'Hey Dad, my girlfriend's got a hot
mom,'" Monica hypothesized to HuffPost. "But we'd probably cater to the
fantasy by having the father have sex with me."
The Sexxxtons
tried casting a scene before using non-related actors as the father and
son, but Monica said she didn't like the results, because the man cast
as the "Dad" "looked too much like the "Cockroach" guy from that movie, 'Men In Black.'"
Enugu – The Executive Vice Chairman of the Nigerian Communication
Commission (NCC), Dr Eugene Juwah, has said that the nationwide
registration of Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) cards by the commission
will end on June 30.
Juwah made the announcement in Enugu on Thursday in a message to the 73rd edition of Telecoms Consumer Parliament organised by the commission.
The vice chairman, who was represented by the Director of
Communications, Mrs Biodun Olujimi, said the commission would not extend
the date for any reason.
According to him, any subscriber who did not register his or her
number before the closing date will have the number invalidated.
He explained that the commission would commence the collation of the
data for publication, adding that subsequent registration would be done
by different telecom providers with approval from the commission.
Speaking on the theme of the parliament, `Mobile Number Portability:
Benefits to Telecom Consumers’, the vice chairman said the service would
allow consumers to switch from one network to another while retaining
the current number.
He explained that the service would remove the trouble of moving
around with multiple cell phones and encourage competitions among
providers as well as reduce tariffs.
Juwah said the porting required registration of SIM card by the subscribers for security reasons.
“Without the registration, the network operators will not be able to
identify a porting subscriber or confirm that such is the rightful owner
of the number being ported,’’ he said.
Some of the consumers who spoke at the interaction lauded the
programme but complained that the 90 days duration for porting was too
long.
Miss Nkemdilim Nwagu, a student, said the service would reduce
carrying of multiple handsets while Basil Peters, a youth corps member,
said the issue of registering the SIM card again was hectic. (NAN)
A panel of Court of Appeal judges in Lagos today set aside the N25
million compensatory damages earlier awarded Lagos comedian, Babatunde
Omidina " Baba Suwe " over a prolonged detention by the National Drug
Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) last year.
In the ruling, the Court of Appeal re-affirmed the right of the NDLEA
to investigate, arrest, detain and prosecute drug suspects as long as
the agency acts within the law.
The court said the NDLEA had not violated Mr. Omidina's rights
because it sought and got court orders from the federal high court to
keep him in custody after the arrested him on the suspicion that he had
ingested hard drugs.
The Court of Appeal came down heavily on the Lagos High court judge
that awarded the damages against the NDLEA, describing the decision as
oppressive and burdensome to an agency of government carrying out its
statutory duties.
Baba Suwe's attorneys led by civil rights activist, Bamidele Aturu, has vowed to take the matter before the Supreme Court.
The Chase Housemates’ first Diary sessions were filled with a mix of emotions ranging from joy, to guilt to indifference.
Ruby Head of House, Nigeria’s Beverly was the most visibly emotional
Housemate of all the Rubies. She got choked up when Biggie asked about
her decision to save Bassey from the Eviction gallows and replace him
with Natasha. “It’s not that I don’t like her, I have nothing against
her,” the Nigerian dame insisted.
Bassey, who has no idea that he has been replaced in the list of
Eviction Nominees by Natasha, dished to Biggie about how he feels about
the Malawian. “Natasha is a control freak. She is most likely to have
clashes in the House,” he declared. But he was quick to clarify to
Biggie that despite her mother hen ways, he has bears no ill feelings
towards her and that he does get along with her and all of the other
Housemates.
Cleo was in a jovial mood during her diary session, she told Biggie
that despite the fact that she did not come into the House with a
strategy on how to win, she still believes that she will make it to the
top. “I believe the money is mine,” she boasted.
The usually charming, Melvin played ‘Mr Cool’ and remained
uncharacteristically subdued during his session and did not have much to
say about his first few days in the Big Brother House.
What do you think of Melvin playing it cool and do you agree with Bassey that Natasha is a control freak?

Following last week’s offer by American based Nollywood actress, Judith
Okpara Mazagwu popularly known as Afrocandy to feature Uche Ogbodo and
two other Nollywood actresses in her next soft porn flick, the fast
rising actress has replied the former, stating that she ‘s not a porn
star.
Afrocandy recently disclosed her plans to star Ogbodo in her next
porn flick on her facebook page. She recently released the trailer of
her latest soft-porn movie, Destructive Instinct where she was
completely nude in sexually explicit positions.
Reacting to the offer, Ogbodo warned the controversial porn flick
producer, stating emphatically that she is an actress and not a porn
star.
A statement, she released reads, ‘I’m an actress and not a porn star.
The fact that I was just experimenting and having fun with the ‘Lady
Gaga’ red hair photo shoot is not an excuse for the likes of AfroCandy
to insult me.’
‘If I ever decide to strip in a movie, trust me, it’d be worth it
like Halle Berry did in Monster’s Ball and Swordfish. Right now, I’m in
talks with a reputable artiste management outfit to represent me and
re-invent myself,’ she stated.
In the entire Africa, Ghana and Nigeria especially, entertainment has
grown wider than we envisaged. This growth is very fast , making it
possible to almost compete side by side with Hollywood.
So, there’ll be no need to doubt the same growth in proportion to its
fashion sense, ranking our actresses and actors among best world
dressers.
Mumuni: Before and After!
But even as fashion conscious as we are, our ladies, although give as much attention to their hair but hardly flaunt the price.
This isn’t so in the case of Ghanian actress, Salma Mumuni. She has
suddenly gone gaga about her hair and wont give the social media a
break, a week not passing by without robbing on our faces her hair price
tags.
Meanwhile, maybe to put herself on the list of most sought after
Ghanian actresses, Salma decided to change her looks. She’s now gone
from the long-haired Salma, into a short-haired one.
Recently, she revealed the monthly sum she now spends to maintain her
new hair cut. According to her, over $3,000 goes down into maintaining
her new look so that she can stand out among her peers. “I maintain it
every week too”, she added.

Award winning singer and song writer Tuface Idibia, last Sunday narrowly
escaped death while on board an airplane Lagos bound from South Africa.
It was a night flight and sources say the singer was listening to music
from his iPod when he perceived a foul burning odor. The situation
became more serious when the lighting system in the aircraft suddenly
went off; and panic set in with some passengers whispering ”This plane
is going to crash!”.
The captain then announced that the plane had developed an electrical
fault and they were going to have an emergency landing. The plane had to
turn around and head back to South Africa.
2face was spotted talking and calming his crew down, telling them not to
panic. Miraculously, the tires came out and the plane successfully
landed and the passengers were evacuated.
Thankfully the pop star is doing okay.

Former governor of Bayelsa State, Chief Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, has
attributed his travails over allegations of corruption to the power
tussle between former President Olusegun Obasanjo and his vice, Alhaji
Atiku Abubakar over the 2007 presidency.
Speaking to newsmen in Lagos, Alamieyeseigha said he was persecuted
by President Obasanjo because of the alleged plan by Atiku Abubakar to
nominate him as his running mate during the 2007 presidential election.
The former Bayelsa State governor said his arrest and travails in
London and Nigeria over allegation of corruption was political,
promising to expose those behind his travail in his memoirs, which he is
presently writing.
His words: “The summary of it is that Atiku Abubakar, according to
Obasanjo, nominated me as his running mate. End of story. He (Obasanjo)
said it was over his dead body and that he would fight me and Atiku to
the end of the world. He said that unless he dies, Atiku could not be
president of Nigeria. That was the beginning and the end of the story.
“Maybe the only mistake I made was that I left this country to
Germany for medical surgery. Again, I made the mistake of calling him
(Obasanjo) when I recovered from the surgery. I told him that I just
came out from the theatre. I started having funny calls and they started
plotting (against) me.”
“The whole thing was political and one day I will expose everybody. I
have started writing; people are ignorant of what really happened, so
they can talk. But if I open my mouth, some of them will keep quiet. I
am going to tell my story.”
All attempts by Saturday Mirror to reach out to Chief Obasanjo on the
allegation against the former President by Alamieyeseigha proved
abortive as Obasanjo and his aides refused to comment on the matter.
Speaking on the alleged face-off between President Goodluck Jonathan
and Rivers State governor and chairman of Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF),
Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, Alamieyeseigha cautioned Amaechi, asking him
to learn from his own experience.
“I have told Amaechi himself that he should learn from my experience,
that nobody tries government. He should learn that after God, it is
government. Amaechi is in a regional government. There is Federal
Government and there is a president and the Commander-in- Chief of the
Armed Forces.
“Let me say that most of these things, the president himself may not
know. It is people around that are creating this entire problem. If you
call the two of them and sit them down, I am sure they would not be able
to tell you what has happened between them,” he said.
He also had harsh words for those who criticised the state pardon
granted him by the Federal Government, saying that the critics never
knew what transpired behind closed doors leading to his pardon, but
conceded that “people have the right to express their opinions.”
His words: “They don’t know the contributions I have made towards the
sustenance of of peace in this country. May be the impact of my
contribution would have been felt if there had been no oil and no money
to share at the federal level.
“Because things are so rosy and at the end of the month they go to
Abuja and share the money, they don’t feel the impact and don’t realise
that people went into the creeks; slept in every camp to make sure that
amnesty was achieved.”
He added that even President Obasanjo wrote him many commendation
letters, congratulating him and thanking him for what he did, adding: “I
risked my life by going as far as the high seas several times to rescue
expatriates.”
