Sharing a shirtless photo of himself, Alex wrote; I'm tired of breaking ladies Heart, from now i want to focus on their Spinal Cords. . Sincerely yours – Bouncing Baby Boy 😜💔. This is coming just days after BBNaija housemate Ifu Ennada took to social media to praise the actor for being humble despite all of his wealth. "No be who first start race dey win am and this man @alexxekubo is a testament to this. With all his super achievements, expensive cars and enviable lifestyle, he stays humble and tries to bring others up. This man right here has gotten me and my colleagues several jobs. This sort of kindness he extends to others. Alex has every reason to show off, but instead focuses on being kind to everyone around him. You should ask people who have worked with him. He doesn't cry around town asking for appreciation or trying to divide others to maintain relevance. Make una help me hail Alex an Executive of the #ChopLifeGang, na "Real Man" e be." He wrote.

| Andy Ruiz Jr slams Anthony Joshua vows to beat him again Posted: 23 Jun 2019 11:00 PM PDT
Mexican Ruiz Jr, 29, shocked the sporting world when he knocked AJ out on June 1 to become the unified world heavyweight champion. A rematch is expected to take place later this year but Ruiz Jr insists their will be no return to the throne for Joshua. He said: "The rematch is going to be the same. I am going to be more prepared and more ready. "I know his flaws. I can do a lot better. The only thing that he can do is just run around, he's not good at boxing. "People thought I wasn't going to do anything, I was too big, too overweight. "I don't want to say all the things I am going to change. "There is going to be a lot of changing, I am going to come at a better weight this time. It's going to be a hell of a fight."  Ruiz Jr was a late replacement for Jarrell Miller, after the American failed a drugs test, and pocketed a reported £5.5m for the fight. And the California-born fighter used some of the cash to make amends for childhood mistakes. In This Story: #AndyRuizJr #slams #AnthonyJoshua #vows #beat #again Sharing is caring.

| Charly Boy ‘I have been living in prison all my life’ Posted: 23 Jun 2019 10:30 PM PDT
The singer said; " it's been quite a long time that we were born into this prison called Nigeria, and the first thing that comes to mind on a day like this is to visit those in hell. If we are in prison, then you can only imagine where they are. "This is the only way we can reach out, the only way we can save a life. "Unfortunately, majority of us don't even know we are in a dungeon. Unless we realize this, we will continue in this eternal anguish. "But like I have always said, the survival of our country depends solely on the ability of our young men and women to break out of this prison by fire by force, whether them like'am or not."

| Singer Dbanj reveals how he’s managed to strike balance between music and marriage Posted: 23 Jun 2019 02:59 PM PDT
In a recent chat with Vanguard, the 'Fall in Love' crooner explained how he has been able to successfully achieve this feat saying, "It's been very hard but the truth is one just has to understand what he/she is doing'. He went on to say, 'when you see the actors or footballers in the club, they're just normal people, but when the footballers put on their jersey and get on the field, they're different people entirely. I was with Obafemi Martins in the club recently and he was just a normal person but when he wears the jersey, he's a different person. So like I said, one just needs to understand what you do. As an entertainment person, it's part of me. When I wear my costume as D'banj, I get to entertain my people but then I've my privacy and if you check it properly for the last decade, even if I'm out there I keep my private life very private. If you know how to strike a balance and then God blesses you with the right wife that can understand then you're good", he said. Speaking further, he revealed the secret behind his ability to successfully stay relevant on the Nigerian music scene for more than a decade. "I really don't know, I just do what I do. But I think it's just by doing what I know how to do best and being true to myself, being original. Also, believing in God and touching base with your foundation, where you're coming from. For a very long time I've always tried to understand my calling, I think that's one thing that has helped me to get to this level and it's been an interesting ride."

| Blessing Okoro opens up on failed marriage and house ownership saga to Daddy Freeze Posted: 23 Jun 2019 02:52 PM PDT
The Instagram blogger spoke about several things from her failed marriage, starting her blogsite and her infamous house ownership drama with a businessman identified as Onye Eze.

She went on to reveal that he was about 10 years older than her. She revealed this when she was asked what inspired her to start the blog. In her words: "I started dating my husband when I was 14. We became intimate shortly after. He was about 10 years older than him. Against my parent's wish, I got married to him at the age of 18; I had just gotten into the university. When Daddy Freeze questioned why her ex would go for an underage girl, she came to his defense stating that she loved him and looked older than her age so it was easy for her to lie about it. Although she admitted that she still loves him, she stated that they can never be together because they aren't compatible. On the issue of the house ownership drama, the single mother of one admitted that the house indeed belonged to Onye Eze but her intention were never to deceive the public but to use the same model for her house. According to her, the post wasn't meant to deceive people but to encourage and inspire them. She explained that she was set up by friends of Onye Eze who lured her back into the compound and threatened to flog her with belts and made her do and say the things she said in the video. She went on to reveal that after they made the video, the asked her to give them N500k if she didn't want the video to be posted online.

| Actress Tonto Dikeh has a Message for people who depend on others for everything Posted: 23 Jun 2019 05:30 AM PDT
It is more than enough struggle that adulthood is quite a task for most people, having others unnecessarily depend on you for everything is tougher work. Having not to be acknowledge of those many life struggles could be fine if no one is trying to double them by asking for unnecessary help without asking how you are coping. We do not know what could have prompted the popular actress to school entitled dependent people, but it is hard not to see how right she is with every word. On her Instagram page on Friday, June 21, Dikeh without mincing words simply asked dependent people to get a life. She said: "Stop getting mad when someone can't be there for you. A lot of people are struggling wither being there for their da*n self!" Nothing could be truer; everybody is going through something, yours is what you know, realities are hard for many out there too. In addition to those words, the actress, however, said everybody will grow, but that to do that, others' struggles also have to be recognized. "I promise you, we will all grow. But first recognize I have my own struggles too," she said.  | ||

| AFCON 2019: Super Eagles On A Winning Note, As African Cup Of Nations Kicks Off Posted: 23 Jun 2019 05:01 AM PDT
The Super Eagles of Nigeria, has kicked off their 2019 Africa Cup of Nations on Saturday on winning note beating debutants Burundi 1-0 in their Group B opening game in Alexandria.Odion Ighalo, who replaced Ebere Onuachu in the 73rd minute, broke the deadlock five minutes after coming in when he lashed on Ola Aina's back heel pass that opened up Burundi's defence for the goal, Daily Independent reports.It was a textbook goal as he curved the ball past Jonathan Nahimana in goal for Burundi.The Guardian of London describes the goal thus, "That's how to make an impact! Moments after coming on Ighala breaks the deadlocks with a smart finish. But Aina played a big part in the goal with a break in-field from the left and a delicious back heeled pass, worthy of Ronaldinho! Ighalo ran on to it and, from an angle, guided it past the advancing keeper and into the net."Before the only goal of the game, Super Eagles had found the Burundi defence hard to break down as they played a very tight defence."We knew it was going to be a tough match," says Mikel Obi after the match. "They can run we knew it's not an easy group, they are very organized, but it was good we won the game and look forward to winning the second game and possibly qualify as group leaders. "It was good that we won." Coach Gernot Rohr, in his match analysis said that team spirit gave Eagles rthe win. According to him what happed in training on Thursday and Friday affected his lineup, saying, "It was good we are starting with the win. It is good to start slowly and move on higher and higher." He said that it was the game plan to introduce Ahmed Musa and Odion Ighalo in the second half, noting that the team lost two players in training. Former Super Eagles captain, Joseph Yobo, also praised the team, saying that irrespective of the virus that hit the players in the last two days, they played well. At the start of the game, Burundi had the first opportunity to score but Daniel Akpeyi denied Saido Berahino a great opportunity.  | ||
| Super Falcons’ Ordega "I slapped my ex for looking at another lady" Posted: 23 Jun 2019 05:00 AM PDT
Speaking to PUNCH's Kelvin Ekerete, she was asked about the craziest thing she did on and off the pitch. In her words; On the pitch in the US, that was two years ago, I had this hair bun I always put on. We were training and all of a sudden, my wig and the hair bun fell off but I didn't realise it was off, I was still running with the ball and all the players stopped and were all laughing. At the back of my mind, I was like, 'what is happening?' I was with the ball and was about scoring, and everyone was just laughing. So, I turned and tried to look around. Then, one of them just pointed, saying 'Franny.' Then I looked at it. It was embarrassing and at the same time funny; even the coach, everyone were just laughing. Each time I remember the scenario, it always cracks me up. And off the field, my first boyfriend ever, we were together and were going out. I was younger then, I was really young. We were going out and there was this very pretty girl that was so cute, cuter than me, and my boyfriend was just staring at her and I was like, 'Hey! What are you looking at?' And a lot of people were there, lots of them and I didn't even know when I slapped him like, 'Hey! What are you looking at? Is she prettier than me?' I did it with all seriousness and everything. The jealousy was just obvious. I was so jealous at that moment and everyone was just laughing at me. In our language (Tiv) they said, 'Take care of your property, I like your spirit, carry on.' I was so embarrassed but now it's always fun to me anytime I remember it or when I see him. If we get to see each other, he usually asks me, 'I hope you've stopped this drama thing?' And I'll be like, 'Hey! I've stopped.' So, it's kind of crazy. In This Story: #Super #Falcons #Ordega Sharing is caring. Share this story  | ||

| Princess, Ex-BBN housemate says she has no issue with CeeC Posted: 23 Jun 2019 03:30 AM PDT
Princess had on Thursday taken a swipe at Uti through a comment posted on her Instagram page. She said, "I felt that as a former housemate, he should know better than to make a comparison. It's just unnecessary. "Many housemates have gone through a phase of depression, insecurity, anger and regret. They have also moved past it and got stronger. You can't come and start this unspoken trivia now. It's not cool." While contacted over the matter by Saturday Beats, Princess said that she was not trying to court controversy but only interested in putting things right. She said, "Different people can read a particular meaning to an issue. What I wrote has nothing to do with Cynthia; it would be different if he (Uti) was not a former housemate. "If it was a random celebrity talking; I wouldn't mind because the person hasn't experienced it. "For someone that has been to the BBN house to openly put an outright comparison amongst people in the same cadre is not the best choice of words. "He should have praised her without using words that would make others seem not at par. "Cynthia is doing great and I am doing great and there is no hate. However, somehow, the whole thing escalated; it has nothing to do with me hating Cynthia's success; I feel he should have done better. "Even when Forbes brings out a list of successful people; they rank it in their own established scale and rank their net worth to how much they know about them, it doesn't mean that some people are not richer than others. "Hate is not the motive here; I felt he should have known better; it could start a crisis, riots are instigated by what people say. "It is my opinion. I am saying no one should put a yardstick to success. It is just like putting one religion ahead of another. I feel it is unnecessary." Speaking further, Cee-C noted that unlike some of her colleagues, who had gone into acting; she decided not to follow the same path because she wanted to gain some financial stability. She said, "I was able to set up my beauty brand after the experience in the BBN house, I am proud of myself for achieving that feat. "Interestingly, people think I wouldn't be at my store because I am a BBN star. I am always there because that is where my income comes from. "I have thought about acting but I don't like the idea of being broke or not having my financial sanity, so I decided to establish something that I can make returns from before chasing a career in acting. "I am a businesswoman; I need a structure that provides for me before chasing being in the spotlight." Comparing her experience in the BBN house to child delivery, the young lady noted that she dealt with insecurity and self-esteem issues after she left the reality show. She continued, "I believe everyone in life has expectations but we have different phases of growth. "I had my fair share of criticisms; reality shows like Big Brother puts you in a confined environment which naturally changes things; it is not something that can be explained to someone; it is just like childbirth. Some people felt I should have done things in a particular way. "I had insecurity and self-esteem issues at some point; when in the Big Brother house; you go in and you don't know what might happen when you come out. "It is difficult and emotionally draining; you need a high level of counsel to go through that. "I had to deal with these emotions myself and get past it. Being a housemate takes a toll on your emotional quotient. I was able to overcome that through self-discovery, reflection and meditation. "I had to read more books and speak to experienced people to get over it. It was tough but the beauty is that you come out stronger. "I don't think anyone can outshine me; there is a lot of space for everyone to be individually great without competition; I don't have that mindset." Debunking rumours that she had to go under the knife to get a perfect body; Princess told Saturday Beats that such talks were not worth her time. She said, "Nobody has really come out to ask me what I did with my body and until they come out to do that, I don't feel the need to grant anyone a response. "I didn't do anything to endanger other species on earth, whatever I did was with me. They are rumours and it is fine; that is what happens when you are in the spotlight." Reacting to the matter, Uti, in a comment on his Instagram page, said, "To those offended, calm your nerves. No harm meant. "When you are proud of someone, you will give all the accolades you can, especially when you remember the bashing you went through for your support. "So, let me rephrase and edit: CEE-C is one of the most successful housemates of BBNaija 2018."  | ||
| Governors Of APC Shop For Chairman, Oshiomhole’s Replacement As Party Crisis Deepens Posted: 23 Jun 2019 03:16 AM PDT
Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, the national chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), is far from navigating out of the plot to ease him out of office, Sunday Tribune reports.According to the report, there seem to be a fresh move to kick him out of the party's national secretariat coming on the eve of his one year in office as party's chairman.A party source told Sunday Tribune that APC governors tabled a demand for a change in the party's leadership while meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari during the week.Kebbi State governor and chairman of the Progressives Governors' Forum, Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, led his colleagues to the meeting.RELATED: List Of Governors Who Put Oshiomhole In Trouble, Finally ExposedIt was gathered that the APC governors, at the meeting with President Buhari, expressed concern over the ongoing power tussle at the party's national secretariat and pleaded for his intervention. The source revealed that a meeting of its statutory organs, the national caucus and National Executive Committee (NEC) might be convened to discuss the cold war between Oshiomhole and his deputy. Prodded for the name of likely replacement if the governors succeeded in their putsch against the former Edo State governor, the source disclosed that "the governors are shopping for a replacement behind the president. "They are restricting their choice to the South- South zone. They aren't looking in the direction of the South- West and they don't trust the South- East with the number one position in the party." National Publicity Secretary of the party, Mallam Lanre Isa-Onilu, could not be reached for comments last night. His deputy, Yekeen Nabena, however, told Sunday Tribune on phone that he was not aware of any plan for a NEC meeting. He said: "I am not aware of any plan to hold meeting of NEC. Only the chairman or secretary can call for the meeting. "We don't even have a substantive national secretary now. The person we have is acting. So, the power to call the NEC meeting resides with our chairman. The governors can't force him to call NEC meeting," he said. Oshiomhole has been having a running battle with one of his deputies, Senator Lawan Shuaibu, who blamed the party's poor performance in the general election on Oshiomhole. RELATED: 2019: 'Call Oshiomhole To Order' Okorocha Tells Buhari Over 'God Punish Obasanjo' Talk Senator Shuaibu, who is the deputy national chairman (North) had, in a recent letter, accused Oshiomhole of excluding other members of the party's National Working Committee (NWC) in the running of the party. Senator Shuaibu, in the letter dated May 27, 2019, entitled, "APC: its Fortunes VS Misfortunes: Time to Act," demanded Oshiomhole's resignation to save the party from what he called imminent collapse. Shuiabu had since declined invitation to a five-man disciplinary committee set up by Oshiomhole with the deputy national chairman (South), Chief Niyi Adebayo, as chairman. Senator Shuaibu, who incidentally is from Zamfara State, has since been suspended by a factional executive of the party in the state. Factional Publicity Secretary, Zamfara State chapter, Mohammed Bakyasuwa, led other officials of the party to the APC national secretariat last week to submit the report which accused both former governor, Abdulazeez Yari and Senator Lawan of breaching Article 21(a) 2014 of the APC constitution.

| Actor Yul Edochie "People think I am my father’s ‘handbag’ Posted: 23 Jun 2019 03:00 AM PDT
In a chat with Saturday Beats, the younger Edochie noted that even though he was the baby of the house, he was never pampered. He said, "A lot of people think I am the only child probably because I am the most popular one and it happens often; they keep asking the same question. "I just felt I should state it that I'm the last child of my father. Even as the last child, I was treated like every other child; maybe I got some special treatment as the last child. "A lot of people used to refer to me as my father's handbag. I learnt a lot from my elder brothers and when I messed up, they dealt with me. "We grew up like soldiers, I wasn't treated specially. My parents were very strict; they didn't spare me. "There are some qualities I would forever cherish that I got from my parents like respect and being prayerful. "It is not easy to raise five boys; they are all graduates. We are all doing well in our respective fields; I learnt a lot from them." Edochie, who was recently involved in a fatal motor accident, appreciated God for sparing his life, adding that the incident has taught me him many valuable lessons. "I was driving alone; I was close to Ore and the car swerved to the left and hit a culvert and went upside down. "I believe it is a miracle; God still wants me around. It taught me that life is very short. I have been driving for over 18 years and never knew I was going to have an accident that day. "People have been involved in such situations and lost their lives but I only came out with little scratches. It was God's grace at work."  | ||

| Anti-Ganduje song- Musician allegedly jailed for two years in Kano Posted: 23 Jun 2019 02:00 AM PDT
Mr Yusuf, popularly known as AGY, recorded the innuendo-laden hit song which dwells on the governor's alleged avarice, creation of new emirates in the state and election rigging. The singer was arrested by the police on Monday night and arraigned before Magistrate Court 72, Noman's Land presided by Aminu Gabari. During the summary trial on Wednesday, the court found Mr Yusuf guilty of three-count charges of releasing a song without the approval of the Kano State Censorship Board, releasing a video without obtaining same approval and defamation of the character of Mr Ganduje. On count 1 and 2, the singer was sentenced to six months each with an option N50,000 fine each, while on count 3, the musician bagged one year without option of fine. Although the song was meant to praise the Emir of Kano Muhammadu Sanusi II as the chorus implies, the singer lashed at the governor in some of the stanzas, saying the governor can sell his wife (Goggo) because of money. Other lines read; Kano governor has already turned blind, I swear what you did is hurting us, For lucre, governor is more than a thief For lucre, governor can sell out Goggo  | ||

| Cee-C reacts to Uti Nwachukwu’s claim that she is the most successful housemate Posted: 23 Jun 2019 12:30 AM PDT A lot has happened since BBNaija 2018 came to a close. Most of the housemates have moved on and all have become highly successful in varying degrees. While most people are aware of the fact that all the former housemates are doing great in their respective lanes, Uti Nwachukwu intended to show love and support when he declared Cee-C the most successful housemate, making the others feel more or less, like failures. His statement immediately sparked outcry on social media as Princess, and Ifu Ennada took to their individual Instagram page to condemn the comment. Due to several backlash, Uti was forced to review his statement.  However, Cee-c called other housemates fools as she responds to Uti Nwachukwu's claim that she is the most successful of all the other housemates from that edition. Taking to her Instagram page, she wrote; "Classy is when you have a lot to say but choose to remain silent in front of fools"   |
