Coming on the heels of their debut single in 2014 entitled Baba, the duo known as 2Aplus (Confidence and Innocence) are back with a hot single entitled Tele Mi. “Barely a year after we dropped our debut single, Baba, we have just dropped our hot new single entitled Tele Mi, which has been rocking the airwaves,” an excited Confidence revealed to Entertainer. “Our fans have been showing us love and very okay with us. We won’t let them down. Tele Mi is a club banger, a love song dedicated to our female fans. The response has been awesome,” added Innocence. According to the pair, reason their debut single, Baba did not make much impact was because they fell into the wrong hands but now that they are signed unto Don Kris’ 2Perfect Entertainment, the sky is the limit. How do they get inspiration for their songs: “We don’t do drugs because drugs are dangerous. Drugs have been the bane of many successful careers. Our inspiration comes from God Almighty.

I don’t know the exact time the fire started but I woke up at about 12.30am, it was actually the sound of the explosion of the TV in the room that woke me up! “I was in shock; I didn’t exactly know what to do. I live alone so I tried to get water but I knew it would be useless because the whole room was already on fire and the entire house was filled with smoke so I ran out and from the balcony I started shouting for help.” Luckily for her, her action paid off and neighbours ran to her rescue and the f...

I WANT MORE TATTOOS BUT...-IK OGBONNA

Hunk and star of Triangle , IK Ogbonna, has declared that female fans just love his tattoos. In a chat with Tonyogagablog, Ogbonna, who is currently on set shooting in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital described how his female fans are reacting to his body art. “They love my tattoos. If I wasn’t an actor I’d probably have more because when I started acting I realised that tattoos will hinder me. There are certain roles you can’t play and that would restrict you. “Every tattoo on my body has a meaning. There is one which means a ‘star was born.’ I believe I was born to be a star. I did not have a great voice but I knew I was going to be a star. I had this many years before I started acting. Another is the face of Jesus, He means everything to me. He is the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Him. There is one on Psalm 23 and Psalm 121 and there is also a rose which means peace.” Any tattoos for his wife? “I will make one for her som...

FRAUD ALLEGATIONS: HAS DASUKI BEEN ARRESTED AGAIN?

That is the question on everyone's lips following reports trending on social media. More trouble is coming the way of ex National Security Adviser (NSA), Dasuki Sambo about a month after he was placed under house arrest. Sources say that today, Tuesday, December 1, security operatives believe to be from the State Security Service (SSS), stormed his home and drove him to an unknown destination. It would be recalled that in July, after a prolonged siege on his Abuja home, he was charged to court with illegal possession of arms and money laundering. However, Justice Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High Court later granted the retired colonel a request for his passport to be released to enable him receive treatment abroad but Dasuki’s plan to travel was thwarted by the SSS.

But it became tough when it came to that point when I chose to leave bachelorhood. “Dumping bachelorhood is one big choice you have to make as a man. However, even though I had my fears I knew I wanted to marry her and I had to take that bold step and it is something I know I would never regret. Marrying my wife was my best decision ever.”

WHY I CAN'T DATE MELVIN ODUAH-OMA IYASARA, actress

The actress who shared a sex scene with the Big Brother Africa star in Don Kwaffy’s latest movie, Triangle, in a chat with tonyogagablog opened up on the experience and foreclosed any chances of dating the dude. “ Hmmm… I don’t like dating fine boys. Let me be the only fine person in the relation­ship. Melvin is a fine boy. He’s a good guy and he’s lively. On set, he was amazing and very professional.” She was hot with Melvin in that scene, how did you pull it off? A smile creases her features as she responds: “Acting that sex role was my most challenging to date. The director was determined that I delivered but I was like ‘director, I am not a seductive kind of person’ and he asked, ‘are you saying you have never seduced anybody before?’ And I was like ‘I don’t think I have.’ But he insisted, saying ‘just act it up.’ And for me, it was strange because I was a tomboy grow­ing...

We don’t know where this matter will end now, so it is best to just watch and see.” Ita Giwa also opened up on what inspired her foundation. Hear her: “ The Foundation For The Children Of Bakassi was set up primarily to promote the wellbe­ing of thousands of disadvantaged Bakassi children who through no fault of theirs have been rendered homeless and almost hopeless by the ceding of their ancestral home­land to Cameroon. “What we do is taking in as man...
