Beautiful Nollywood actress, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde took to her facebook page on Saturday 11th October to celebrate and also warn her 16 year-old son who just gained admission into university. She warns and begs him not to let music get to his head and hinder him from studying to become who he ought to be.

Remember we shared dapper photos of her son, Captain E, who emerged second runner up at a recent international music conference producer showcase competition held in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.

Displaying the certificate her son won and some pictures of them together, Omosexy wrote poetic lines to teach the budding music producer a lesson or two on fame and education.

"So, as you start this new journey in the university, we love you; believe in you, and trust you will be deluged by, in all your choices.

Teebillz finally opens up on marriage crash rumours

The last few weeks have seen serious marriage crash rumours trailing the 5-month-old marriage of Nigerian power couple. Tiwa Savage and Tunji Balogun.

The rumours got even more intense when both parties declined to comment on the issue, and when Tiwa Savage practically forgot to wish TeeBillz a happy birthday until much later in the day when he turned a year older on September 26.

However, the couple told people close to them that they won't react to anything regarding the rumours, saying their body language would tell the true story.

While they have hardly been seen together at public functions in recent times, on Sunday, October 12, 2014, the couple stepped out together a Sunday service at the Pastor Paul Adefarasin-led House on The Rock in Lekki, Lagos.

Speaking on the alleged break up rumour for the first time, Tee Billz spoke to Encomium magazine, saying: 'We are still very much in love and happily married.' Last week, when Tiwa Savage dropped her new song 'My Darling' Tee Billz made an Instagram post where he shared their wedding picture with the caption, 'WCM (Woman Crush Wednesday)' with Tiwa Savage replying thus: 'All Day Everyday.'

Sources close to the couple said it is true they had issues recently but that both are committed to not just keeping the union going but making their marriage sustainable and lifelong.

Zelda Williams has claimed that her father, Robin Williams fought depression 'his whole life' while promoting World Mental Health Day on Twitter.

The 25-year-old daughter of the late 'Good Will Hunting' actor has urged her Twitter followers to keep fighting against depression, after her father – who struggled with mental health problems – took his own life on August 11, 2014.

On Thursday, October 9, 2014, Zelda posted a series of tweets to raise awareness and emphasise to her followers that if they are not alone.

She wrote: 'Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay. Mental illness is often misunderstood & misrepresented, but that's starting to change. Let's end the stigma.

'Mental health IS as important as physical health, & whether there are visible signs or not, the suffering is real. It can affect EVERYONE.

'Lastly, my dad openly fought depression his whole life, both in general and his own. No matter what anyone says, it is a FIGHT. Fight on. (sic)'

Shortly after her father's tragic passing, Zelda was forced to leave Twitter after cruel internet trolls sent her disturbing photoshopped images of the late actor along with many threatening messages.

She returned to the micro-blogging site three weeks later after she shared a quote from the actor Harvey Fierstein, who starred opposite Robin in the 1993 popular film, 'Mrs Doubtfire'.

The quote read: 'Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no ones definition of your life; define yourself.'

Photo: How a 22-yr old Lady single-handedly saved 3 relatives from Ebola

This is a very touching and inspiring story of a 22 year old Liberian woman who treated 3 relatives who had Ebola.

 Fatu Kekula single-handedly took care of her father,mother, sister and cousin.She  fed and cleaned them and giving them medications with remarkable success .

Below is a report by CNN

Three out of her four patients survived.Fatu stayed healthy, which is noteworthy considering that more than 300 health care workers have become infected with Ebola, and she didn't even have personal protection equipment -- those white space suits and goggles used in Ebola treatment units.

Instead Fatu, who's in her final year of nursing school, invented her own equipment. International aid workers heard about Fatu's "trash bag method" and are now teaching it to other West Africans who can't get into hospitals and don't have protective gear of their own.

Every day, several times a day for about two weeks, Fatu put trash bags over her socks and tied them in a knot over her calves. Then she put on a pair of rubber boots and then another set of trash bags over the boots.

She wrapped her hair in a pair of stockings and over that a trash bag. Next she donned a raincoat and four pairs of gloves on each hand, followed by a mask.It was an arduous and time-consuming process, but Fatu was religious about it, never cutting corners.

Her Ebola nightmare started Juy 27, when her father, Moses, had a spike in blood pressure. She took him to a hospital in their home city of Kakata.
A bed was free because a patient had just passed away. What no one realized at the time was that the patient had died of Ebola.Moses, 52, developed a fever, vomiting and diarrhea. Then the hospital closed down because nurses started dying of Ebola.

Fatu took her father to Monrovia, the capital city, about a 90-minute drive via difficult roads. Three hospitals turned him away because they were full.

She took him back to another hospital in Kakata. They said he had typhoid fever and did little for him, so Fatu took him home, where he infected three other family members: Fatu's mother, Victoria, 57; Fatu's sister, Vivian, 28, and their 14-year-old cousin who was living with them, Alfred Winnie.
While operating her one-woman Ebola hospital for two weeks, Fatu consulted with their family doctor, who would talk to her on the phone, but wouldn't come to the house.

She gave them medicines she obtained from the local clinic and fluids through intravenous lines that she started.

At times, her patients' blood pressure plummeted so low she feared they would die.

But her father, mother, and sister rallied and were well on their way to recovery when space became available at JFK Medical Center on August 17. Alfred never recovered, though, and passed away at the hospital the next day.

"I cried many times," she said. "I said 'God, you want to tell me I'm going to lose my entire family?' "

 Now he's working to find a scholarship for Fatu so she can finish her final year of nursing school. He has no doubt his daughter will go on to save many more people during her life.

"I'm very, very proud," her father said. "She saved my life through the almighty God."I'm sure she'll be a great giant of Liberia,"

Katy Perry set to perform in Super Bowl halftime

Katy Perry who has been rumoured to appear at the half time ceremony since the NFL shortlisted her in August – will take to the stage at the annual sporting event in February 2015, sources have confirmed to Billboard.

It is thought the raven-haired beauty will be joined by Coldplay and fellow star Rihanna at the hotly anticipated event at the University of Phoenix stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

The news follows reports that the NFL were planning to charge artists to play at the show after the broadcast reported a record-breaking audience of 111.5 million last year.

However, Katy, 29, has previously said she wouldn't take part in the event if she was asked to pay for the privilege.

She said at ESPN's College Game Day over the weekend: 'I'm not the kind of girl who would pay to play the Super Bowl.' 

Speculation around the performance has grown since it was noticed the 'Part Of Me' singer had a gap in her 'Prismatic' world tour dates around the time of the Super Bowl.

Sources also confirmed to the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column: 'A deal is being hammered out for Katy to play the Super Bowl.' 

The NFL has so far declined to comment on the reports.

Oyo State-born pop diva, Seun Oni otherwise called 'Saeon' is currently not happy with Wizkid.

The singer, who has a song titled 'Boogie down' featuring Wizkid apparently paid Wizkid a whopping sum of N1.5million to get the Star boy on the song and video.

Expressing her anger, Saeon shared a picture on her Instagram handle that reads: 'Folks be like I never charge artistes for features, but I'm 1.5m short and I couldn't even get a retweet, anyway it's turn by turn'.

When contacted by NET, Saeon declined to comment on the issue saying: 'It's sad but I'll rather not talk about it'.

Sources from Saeon's camp told NET that 'Wizkid has not been responding well to Saeon, he doesn't even pick her calls and she's really angry about it despite all the money he was paid for the song.'

In July 2014, Saeon became the first artiste to be signed to Baseline Music led by Howie T. The singer officially dropped her EP titled 'I AM SAEON – THE EP' today.

The Extended Play is a body of works that gives a true depiction of Saeon's alluring persona and unique song writing style while also engaging listeners in its melodic array and perfect delivery. In her words: 'I am extremely excited about this project , I AM SAEON encompasses what and who i truly am.I hope many can relate to me through this body of work. I had an amazing time working with OF A KIND Creatives in order to tell a story through each photo and am delighted to present them to you.'

The EP is highlighted by the new single produced by Sarz, Dogado, which is currently enjoying radio airplay and is steadily finding its way up music charts across country. Other songs on the EP include 'It wont stop', 'Friends with benefits' and 'Awada erekere'.

Photo: See The Girl Who Earn Six-Figure Income for Twerking

So you think twerking is not a job? Daily Mail says;

A 22-year-old Jessica Vanessa works as a professional twerker and claims to be earning a six-figure income by shaking her bottom and has become a social media star who captivates audiences from around the world with her hypnotic gyrating.

Jessica who was formerly working as a teaching assistant from Florida, quit her job after advertisers discovered her dance moves through her Vine videos. For Jessica quitting her role as a teacher was a no-brainer when she did the maths and realised that she could earning more twerking than she could ever have dreamed of working in a school.

She said:

'What I make in six seconds would take me four months to make as a teaching assistant. It's definitely a blessing. I bought a new car, paid it off in full and I was able to get out of debt from the school that I graduated from. It's quite simple really, the more followers you get, the more advertisers want to pay you for mentioning their products - and I've got lots. Quitting my job was definitely a risk because I knew once I quit there was no turning back. Either I make money doing these videos or I'm going to be broke and jobless. When I was younger I was very shy and I didn't like dancing in front of anybody. Then I kind of fell in with a different crowd and got more confident. By the time I hit high school I was definitely a party girl.

I do get plenty of rude and mean comments. I've even had two breakdowns over them - where I have literally locked myself in my room and considered taking down all of my social media accounts. I'm not a celebrity but I do get a taste of what they have to go through. I have strangers calling me a whore, people calling me fat, people calling me ugly, people saying just about any mean thing you could say. People like to define you as a whore for twerking but it's just a type of dance, that's it, if people were open-minded they would understand that. My family are very open-minded people, they don't look at it in any type of sexual way, they don't look at it as degrading, they're very supporting.
I would have no problem showing my grandmother my twerking videos - she is wild and crazy and would probably want to join in with me. As a little girl I always wanted to be somebody big, I always wanted to entertain people, I would sing, I would dance, I would do whatever it took and if I got a laugh out of people I knew I was doing something right. I always enjoyed doing random crazy stuff so when I got a day job it was not something I enjoyed doing. Now I look at Vine as an outlet to many different opportunities which I enjoy doing now.'

Annie Idibia Might Just Be Having A Big 30th Birthday Party

"I'm not happy with Wizkid - Samklef

Music producer Samklef is not happy with Wizkid. Speaking exclusively to LIB Samklef, who produced Wizkid's hit single Tease Me and five other songs in Wizkid's first album, said the superstar singer has not only refused to work with him again, he's also going about dissing his (Samklef) talent.

"I'm not happy with Wizkid. I like his music, but I don't like him as a person anymore. The reason I don't like him anymore is, why do you go about spoiling other people's business? I never spoiled your business, never came out to say anything bad about you for four years. So why would you go to an OAP and tell the OAP that the reason why you no longer work with me is because my beat is amateur. What does that mean? Those amateur beats was what brought you to limelight, was what made you meet the same Akon who first dropped 'Don't Dull' on your voice." Samklef said. 

I never downgraded him. I showed him love. I used to go to his house...but he never came to mine. He doesn't know my house. He hasn't even seen my son before. It means he doesn't regard me as a friend. I wanted to feature him in one of my songs but this guy kept posting me for years. That's not even why I am angry. I am angry because he's going about disrespecting my talent. Saying these things in public. It is annoying.
"I'm doing fine without Wizkid. I don't want to say I regret working with him but I'm thanking God that we are all alive. But ask him, the people you are going to feature in America, if they were like you, would you meet them?

"I wish him luck. I don't regret working with his talent, I only regret working with his person. His fame took him away. He forgot where he was coming from. His person is very disgusting. There's something we call the grace of God. Before Wizkid got to where he is today, somebody gave him a front line, somebody introduced him. He didn't just come from anywhere. Making music is not just about one person. Banky was there to give him the front line and others came to help out. I'm not the only one complaining, other producers are complaining. I don't want to call names but nobody is saying anything good about Wizkid and you call yourself a superstar when you keep matching other people down. What is the star about you? Is it because you are featuring other foreign artists? You are not the first to do that, others have done that before so why are you carried away?

"I don't want to do anything with Wizkid anymore. Keep it to yourself, keep your name. I have new friends and new family. But he can continue talking. We are listening. I don't wish him bad. He says my beat is amateur but watch out for Samklef." He said

Very Shocking: Woman Accidentally Kills Herself As She Unknowingly Urinated On An Electricity Cable In The Bush

The above pic is that of a 29 year old Emily Setlhapelo, who met her untimely death on Saturday October 11th.

According to her family who are still in shock, Emily desperately needed to go to ease herself, and she walked to the side of the road to pee, only to never come back.

The mother of two who resides in Klipspruit in Soweto, South Africa was electrocuted before help could arrive.

Her mother, Julia Setlhapelo, told South Africa's Daily Sun that Emily was on her way to her cousin's house with her two children and a friend when she could no longer keep her pee inside.

She walked to the side and hid behind a bush to relieve herself.

However, she did not see the electricity wires running through the area.

"She lowered her underwear, and as soon as she started to pee the electricity hit her," Julia said.

Emily's children called out to her, but there was total silence.

"It is one thing when a loved one dies of a disease, but sudden death is the most difficult to accept," Julia said.

"Emily was a happy person and a party animal who loved to drink. However, she was always respectful to her elders," she added.

May her soul rest in peace. Amen!!

Kim Kardashian crowned world's best Butt as 45% of women around the world now want 'The Kim'

Kim K's butt is what most women into body enhancement are now seeking. According to a research released over the weekend, Kim K has been World's Best butt and over 45% percent of women seeking to enlarge their butt in the last one year want what they now refer to as 'The Kim'.

Longevita plastic surgeon Prof. Dr. Fuat Yuksel, who commissioned the research, said:

'Kim has been popular among women seeking bottom augmentation or "Brazilian butt lifts" as they are more commonly known, for a few years, but in the last 12 months we've had a massive rise in the numbers asking for a Kim Kardashian bum. The procedure is performed through liposuctioned fatty tissue being injected into the buttocks. Kim has risen from just outside the top ten to the number one position in record time and is a firm favourite among women in the UK and elsewhere around the world."

"The Brazilian lift is now one of the most highly sought-after procedures we do - we've seen a 200 per cent increase in the number of UK enquiries for this procedure in the last 12 months alone. British women love beauties like Nicki Minaj and Kim Kardashian who have bigger bums and are not afraid to flaunt them.' Dr Yuksel said
