BBA sponsored by Coca-Cola: $300,000 (N48m). MTN Project Fame: N7.5m & SUV. Etisalat's Nigerian Idol: N5m & multi-million naira contract. Glo naija sings: N5m & SUV. Gulder ultimate search: N10m plus endorsements & SUV.

COWBELL Mathematics competition: N100k. Lagos State Spelling Bee: N50k. School scrabble: N25k. Cool-FM spelling game: A goodie bag filled with Amila drink. And someone is asking why there is so much failure in WASSCE?” That was a message I received on my phone some days ago.

My friend, Ayodele Adeyemi, told me a similar story recently. Someone saw the brilliance of his daughter and told her that she would be a doctor. The girl said no: She would be a musician. The person was surprised. 

That story is not strange today. If you ask children in primary school or even secondary school whom would they like to be like in future, they would mention Davido, Whizkid, Omawumi, Don Jazzy, Genevieve Nnaji or Ali Baba.

So Mercy Johnson Hide Inside Car Boot Because of Genenieve

Awww! Mercy Johnson is so unique in her own way. She is crazy about Genevieve Nnaji and here's what she said transpired between them when their paths crossed for the first time:

The first time I met her, my friend took me there. When we got to where she was, I became nervous. I told my friend 'No, let me hide in your boot'. And I did. I got into her boot (laughs). Can you imagine, I came to see her and when I got there I wanted to run back. 

I jumped into my friends boot. So, when she came out of the hotel, I could not see her, I could only hear her voice...

Skales lands the biggest record deal in the music industry with billionaire businessman

Since his departure from E.M.E early in the year, Raoul Njeng-Njeng aka ‘Skales’ has been on a roller coaster ride.

Well, here’s the real story of his new mouth watering record deal with Baseline Records.

The first advantage of his deal is the fact that despite being signed on to Baseline, led by industry veterans Howie T and Dipo Abdul, Skales gets to still maintain control and leadership of his own label OHK records, where he nurtures and grooms fast rising acts and producers.

Krystina Butel,30, has spent over £130,000 on plastic surgery to transform herself into a £10 cartoon drawing of herself that she posed for in Ibiza when she was just 15.

She said:

She was everything that I wanted to be.'It was like she was holding the carrot out to me, showing me what I could be.Over the years, I've spent more and more on beauty treatments and surgery so I can look just like her.'

This has included five breast augmentations, lip injections, botox, teeth whitening and semi-permanent make-up. Salon owner Krystina even has heart-shaped nipples to complete the 'cartoon' look.
'My caricature keeps me going with my dream. She looks exactly how I want to look like. I know I'm closer to it now than I was fifteen years ago but there's always something else I can get in terms of surgery to be more like it.

Family members of late Nurse Justina and isolated Ebola victims revealthe 'sorry' state of the Lagos Quarantine centre

"Very sad. We did a lot to save her. She complained oxygen was being supplied to only the big wigs there and we sent two yesterday. 8 cylinders more were on their way today before she died. We made sure water was reconnected in the facility after it went off, and we increased pressuring the govt. We wrote to the minister and introduced a researcher on nano silver. They made contact and ordered it. The drug was ordered from US and is also on its way with a doctor and will arrive today.  I was so sure she was going to scale through. It's heartbreaking. I'll send you more info later" asource close to those who had access to Justina Ejelonu before her death told Myne Whitman.

I have great respect and admiration for this polite Nollywood actress. My first encounter with her was at the airport sometimes last year. She sounds gentle and very courteous but her latest move is a shocker.

How can a married mother of three handsome boys leave the house dressed like this without her hubby challenging her.

These photos were taken at Aso rock villa on Friday during the private screening of her first movie, Being Mrs Elliot.
