Tonto Dikeh removes husband's name and 'wife' from her profile on Instagram






This evening, actress Tonto Dikeh, removed her husband’s name, Churchill from her IG handle, fueling speculations that their marriage is in crisis. The C in the middle there is her middle name, Charity. Tonto also removed Yummy wife/mum which used to be on her profile. She and Oladunni Churchill did their traditional wedding in August 2015.What do you guys think is going on?

Paris Jackson is outraged by a white actor being cast as Michael Jackson, says it makes her want to vomit.






Paris Jackson, the daughter of late pop star, Michael Jacksons, is furious about white actor Joseph Fiennes being chosen to portray her father in an upcoming comedy series, Urban Myths.

The episode which has Paris all riled up is based on the claims by a Vanity Fair article that Michael Jackson, Elizabeth Taylor and Marlon Brando all drove out of New York by car following the September 11 attacks because all the airports were closed.



After the trailer for the Jackson episode was released, Paris expressed her outrage via her Twitter account.

“I’m so incredibly offended by it, as I’m sure plenty of people are as well, and it honestly makes me want to vomit.” She wrote.

“It angers me to see how obviously intentional it was for them to be this insulting, not just towards by father, but my godmother Liz as well.” She continued.



In another tweet she asked, “Where is the respect?” And referred to Fiennes portrayal of her father as shameful.

“They worked through blood, sweet and tears for ages to create such profound and remarkable legacies. Shameful portrayal.”

When asked by a Twitter user about her late father identifying as black, she replied,
"He made a point of it plenty of times to express his pride in his roots. He would never have wanted this.”

Recall that Fiennes had previously defended being cast as the king of pop, saying that Michael Jackson had an issue with his pigmentation and “was probably closer to my color than his original color.

Exclusive: 'There's crisis in Tonto Dikeh's marriage' - Sources confirm



Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh is in the news again and for her sake we hope it's false. Word got out that her 17-month old marriage to hubby and philanthropist Oladunni Churchill is in trouble.

There were reports online today that there was allegedly another woman in the mix...but many didn't take the report seriously until Tonto removed her husband’s name, Churchill from her IG handle, fueling speculations that their marriage is indeed is in crisis.


LIB reached out to one of Churchill's aide who spoke to us on the condition of anonymity saying, 'haba, there's no issues at all, why do people like making issues out of nothing. The fact that she changed her name on social media does not imply crisis, what if it's for a business purpose'.

However, another source in Tonto Dikeh's camp told LIB that, 'they had a small issue but honestly it's nothing am sure they are fine'.

A week ago, the actress shared a cryptic post on Instagram which partly reads, 'If that guy doesn't call you for two weeks, he doesn't like you as much as you like him. If that important meeting keeps on getting rescheduled, it means it is not that important to the other party. Remember your happiness starts with you. Not with your relationship. Not with your friends. Not with your job. But with you. Things outside of you won't fix problems on the inside. Love yourself properly and people will love you'.

At the moment, It's still a developing story as there's no official statement from the couple.

Tonto Dikeh held her traditional wedding ceremony on August 29, 2015 at her hometown Rumukani in Rumukwuta, Obiokpor L.G.A Rivers State.

'The government before was aiding the Movie Industry' - Ramsey Noah







Nollywood actor, Ramsey Noah has noted that the previous government led by Goodluck Jonathan did more good for the movie industry compared to the current administration .
According to Joy News Ghana, the actor said that the previous government invested financially in the movie industry while this present government has not really done much for the industry.

'The new government, based on situations right now has a little setback. The government before was aiding the industry a whole lot trying to propel a lot of funds and increasing cinemas and outlets for the films to sell.”
'In this dispensation, it’s a bit minimized but we are hoping that by the time things settle properly they will look into it'
The actor is presently in Ghana promoting his new movie '76'.

Pope Francis tells story of a beautiful woman who had an abortion just to preserve her figure







Using a woman who had an abortion to preserve her looks, Pope Francis took aim at the modern world's obsessions with power, success and beauty.

During his series of catechesis on Christian hope at his Wednesday General Audience, the Pontiff told a story dated from his time as Bishop of Buenos Aires, of a very beautiful woman who "bragged of her beauty"

"She said, as if it was natural, 'Yes, I had to have an abortion because my appearance is important'," the 80-year-old,said.
''When values such as physical beauty, health become idols to which everything must be sacrificed they create confusion in our spirit and in our hearts.
"Rather than promoting life, they drive us towards death," he added in comments that also targeted "power, success and vanity with their illusions of eternity and omnipotence."Taking issue with the false idols offered by our modern world, Pope Francis at his Wednesday General Audience said that “hope is a primary need in man” but that we can get lost in our search for security by trusting in the false hopes offered by idols.

He said the Scriptures teach us that side by side with authentic hope, born of trust in God’s word, we can be tempted by false hopes and worldly idols, like money, power or physical beauty.
Idols, he said,

“confuse the mind and heart, and, instead of favoring life, they lead to death.He went on to say,

"Faith is trusting in God, but there comes a moment in which [we], confronted with life’s difficulties, experience the fragility of that trust and feel the need for other certainties, more tangible and concrete.”The Scriptures, especially the prophets and wisdom writers, he said, reveal the fleeting nature of idols and the hope they offer. In Psalm 115, the Psalmist ironically presents these idols as silver and gold, made of human hands.

"The message of the Psalm is very clear," Pope Francis said, "one who places their hope in idols becomes like them: empty images with hands that don’t touch, feet that don’t walk, mouths that cannot speak. One has nothing else to say and becomes incapable of helping, of changing things, of smiling, giving of oneself, and of loving."

In contrast, God is always greater than we are, making us incapable of reduce God to our size, made in our own image and tailored to our desires.

Kim K to privately testify against thieves responsible for the multi-million dollar jewelry heist in Paris



Kim Kardashian West doesn't have to travel to Paris, France to testify against the people alleged to be responsible for robbing her of jewelry worth millions of dollars, at gunpoint in her hotel.

According to TMZ, under French law, victims of crime don't have to confront the alleged perpetrators in court, as the judge conducts interviews outside the courtroom.



"Kim Kardashian wants justice handed down hard against the people who robbed her, but we've learned her participation will go down thousands of miles from Paris. Turns out, Kim won't have to travel to France to testify against the people who apparently will be charged with the multi-million dollar jewelry heist.3" "What's more ... we're told judges will sometimes travel long distances to interview crime victims, and the lawyers we've spoken to in France tell us Kim's case fits the bill for a judge to travel to the U.S. and have a chitchat with her. Under French law, the alleged criminals don't have the right to cross-examine her, so everything can be done in private ... without the alleged perpetrators or their lawyers looking on."

I moved to China for Nigeria not for money- Mikel Obi



Super Eagles captain and former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel explained why he accepted to move to Chinese Premier League to team up with Tianjin Teda. He said it was done to help Nigeria’s push to be at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
Mikel had been primarily snubbed from playing with the first team by Chelsea Coach, Antonio Conte, but he still remained a regular for the national team

So he decided to move to Tianjin Teda on a three year deal so that he could get some playing time.
Mikel said during an interview with Owngoalnigeria.com:

“I could easily have stayed in Chelsea for the remaining six months of my contract but it won’t be in the best interest of my nation, as they need me match fit when the World Cup 2018 qualifiers resume”.
“It wasn’t an easy decision to make but I seriously need matches to stay fit for Nigeria. Nigerians don’t deserve to miss out of the World Cup after back to back failure to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations”.Adding that he didn't do it for the money even though his current paycheck is double what he made at Chelsea.

'Lekan Fatodu tried to kill me' - Sahara Reporters publisher Sowore alleges






Yesterday, the Lagos state police command arrested Sahara Reporters publisher, Omoyele Sowore, following a petition by one Lekan Fatodu, whom he, Sowore, had alleged via a publication on his website, that he was being used by former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, to launder money out of the country while he was in office.

Sowore in a new post on his Facebook, alleged that Lekan in company of one of his friends simply identified as Andre, tried to kill him when they waylaid him at GRA Ikeja yesterday. Read what he shared after the cut ..



"I am now safely out of the labyrinth of a police conspiracy centred around one Lekan Fatodu whom, in January 2016, we reported on SaharaReporters had been involved in laundering money for Femi Fani-Kayode. On Wednesday, Lekan and a friend of his referred to as “Ándre” waylaid me at GRA Ikeja and tried to kill me. The attempt was resisted by the public, following which he showed up later with a police van from Area "F" police with a plain cloth police team. As it turned out, Commissioner of the Lagos State Police Command, Fatai Owoseni was part of the conspiracy, as he pulled out a petition alleging "criminal defamation" against me, got upset when I questioned his position and impartiality, and threatened to deal with me. Even in the days of General Abacha, I did not experience that brazen partiality. My attack by Fatodu was organized with the police, but as they were unable to arrest me directly, he was given the cover to carry out an attack that would give the police their needed tonic to take vengeance on me. The situation wasn't better when I was hurled before Lagos CP, Mr. Owoseni and later, Frank Mba, who started a winding story claiming it was a messy case. I was asked to sign for my bail on Self Recognizance, but I declined, insisting I had not been arrested by the police and were that the case, that I preferred to be booked and shown an arrest warrant. After a short argument, I was let go without signing a bail bond, but was asked to return to the Panti Police Station on Thursday at 2p.m. I wish to thank all Nigerians and others who have reached out to me over this saga. I am grateful to Peter Claver Oparah, Temitope Gomez and Inibehe Effiong who served last night as my lawyer, as well as the construction workers at Isaac John Street who came out to defend me from what could have been a fatal attack. I will return to Panti on Thursday as requested, to confront the police over the case. Rest assured that I've always prepared for things of this nature this in the course of my self-appointed duties as a conscience of the public. If you have spare time tomorrow, meet me at the SCID at Panti at 2 pm. There is no retreat and no surrender."

CNN reveals 8 Donald Trump's 'interests and ties' to Russia (Photos/documents)




During Wednesday's first press conference for the incoming U.S President Donald Trump, he finally admitted to Russian interference in the U.S elections but stated categorically that he had no business deals, interests or ties to Russia or it's president Vladmir Putin.


Now, CNN, has revealed in a new report, that Donald Trump has about 8 'interests and ties' to Russia. Read the full report after the cut...


1.) Miss Universe Moscow
In 2013 Trump made millions when he partnered with Russian billionaire Aras Agalarov to host Miss Universe in Moscow.


2.)Trump Tower Moscow
An attempt to build a Trump Tower in Moscow fell through before it began. CNN didn't find any projects that were actually completed in Russia.
In a 2007 deposition, Trump was asked about the proposal for the project.
"It was a Trump International Hotel and Tower. It would be a nonexclusive deal, so it would not have precluded me from doing other deals in Moscow, which was very important to me."


3.) Trump Vodka
Trump put down no money, slapped his name on a brand and claimed royalties. Drinks Americas Holdings actually made the vodka. However, the company's former CEO told CNNMoney they didn't make much headway into the Russian market.


All they got was a single deal to sell 8,000 cases of vodka, a fraction of the 100,000 cases they sold worldwide. There's no evidence that it's still being sold.
The real value, however, was the photo-op.
"If you can sell vodka made in the Netherlands to Russians in gold bottles with 'Trump' on them, and wealthy Russians think this is good vodka, this is a marketing coup," said Patrick Kenny, former CEO of Drinks Americas Holdings.


4.) Palm Beach mansion sale
Trump sold a mansion in Palm Beach, Florida, to Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev for $95 million.



5.) "Russians" investing in Trump
In 2008, Donald Trump Jr. said Trump's businesses "see a lot of money pouring in from Russia."
"And in terms of high-end product influx into the US, Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets; say in Dubai, and certainly with our project in SoHo and anywhere in New York. We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia. There's indeed a lot of money coming for new-builds and resale reflecting a trend in the Russian economy and, of course, the weak dollar versus the ruble," he said.


6.) Trademarks
Trump hired the law firm Sojuzpatent to file at least eight trademarks in Russia between 1996 and 2008, including "Trump," "Trump Home" and "Trump Tower."


7.)The Bayrock Group
Trump partnered with the Bayrock Group, a company run by Soviet immigrants, and according to a lawsuit filed, financed by Russian and Kazakhstan money. Together, they developed Trump properties in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and New York.
They also planned on opening a Trump Tower in Moscow. However, Trump said in a deposition that the plan fell through after media reports began questioning Trump's net worth. The partners with Russian ties in the United States backed out.


8.) Paul Manafort
Trump's ties to Russia go beyond business deals. His former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, had connections with Russia that go much deeper, including to Viktor Yanukovych, Ukraine's former president who fled the country. Yanukovych, who is now in Russia, "called upon Vladimir Putin to send Russian troops into Ukraine," according to a White House statement.
Manafort's company, Davis Manafort International LLC, retained Edelman to work on "Yanukovych's visibility in the US and Europe."

A lawsuit filed by Ukraine's former prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko describes Manafort as a "key adviser to President Yanukovich and other Ukraine political figures since approximately 2003."



Nigeria severs diplomatic ties with Taiwan, shuts its Abuja office






The federal government yesterday announced that Nigeria will be severing its diplomatic ties with Taiwan and that the Taiwan diplomatic office in Abuja should be relocated to Lagos where it will now serve as as Trade mission.

Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, who disclosed this at a news conference in Abuja yesterday, said this became necessary following the Federal government's decision to pledge support for ‘One China’.


According to Onyeama, Taiwan is not a country that is recognized under international law as it is just a small island nation 180km east of China. According to him, having any diplomatic ties with Taiwan as against China which is the country, is against international law and practice.

Moreso the One China police been supported by the Federal government stipulates that any government that would want to seek relations with the People Republic of China must severe its relationship with the Republic of China also known as Taiwan.

“Taiwan will stop enjoying any privileges because it is not a country that is recognized under international law and under the position we have taken internationally, we recognize the people of China. Taiwan will not have any diplomatic representation in Nigeria and also they will be moving out of Abuja to Lagos to the extent that they function as a trade mission with a skeletal staff. Chinese government does not oppose trading with Taiwan as such as long there is no formal contact with the government that will suggest recognition of Taiwan as sovereign country” he said

He said Nigeria was not forced to take the decision, adding that the country recognized the People’s Republic of China as a country because Nigeria was one of the leading African nations that fought for China to reclaim its seat at the UN Security Council from Taiwan.
