Posted: 02 Aug 2019 10:00 PM PDT

Okay, guys, Tonto Dikeh has shared a frightening mail sent to her by an alleged assassin who says he has been paid to kill her.

Tonto Dikeh shares message assassin paid to kill her sent to her via email
The actress took to her Instagram page on Friday, August 2, 2019, where she posted a copy of the email she got from the alleged assassin. In the mail, the assassin claims to have been paid by a man to eliminate her.

He went to say he has been monitoring her for a while now but couldn't bring himself to do the job. He, however, adviced her to pay him a ransom so he could let her off his hook. Apparently not moved by the mail Tonto Dikeh revealed that she was going to make sure the person behind the mail is brought to book.


"This assassin talks way too much...But you can be sure of ONE THING I will get you... @nigerianpolice @aishambuhari @muhammadubuhari #I promise you this will be your last email #I will get you and make you pay for stressing me by reading this shit..." she captioned the post.


This is not the first time Tonto Dikeh will be raising an alarm over her life. Recall that about a year ago, she posted a message on her Instagram page where she claimed that the police were planning to storm her home under the instruction of an unidentified person.

The actress made this known via her Instagram page on Monday, August 20, 2018. A fearless Tonto says she is waiting for the police and also went to say that she is not intimidated by anything in this life.

"I guess I am now a criminal..MY STOMACH OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO And they are even coming with Press to record my arrest Lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.. #IF THE HAIR ON MY SONS BODY IS TOUCHED OGA POLICE YOU WILL HAVE TO BURY ME,YOU WILL HAVE TO KILL ME,HAaaaa OGA POLICE there is no FEAR bone in my system!!!


"I am a mother and nothing in this life can intimidate me... #Dear Oga police if you need me you have my no. Like I said going to my home if anything happens to my son, Pls have a spare of whatever you did to him to do to me!!! #DROPS MIC," she wrote.

Even though it was not clear why the police were coming to Tonto Dikeh's residence, it may have been connected to her frosty relationship with her ex-husband, Churchill Oladunni and the custody battle over their son, King.

Nigerian billionaire and business tycoon Aliko Dangote has redeemed his pledge to splash out $50,000 for Super Eagles only goal in their semi-final clash against Algeria's Desert Foxes at the just-concluded AFCON 2019.

The encounter at Cairo International Stadium on Sunday, July 14, saw Nigeria net once from the spot as Algeria claimed a 2-1 at the death to reach AFCON 2019 final.

However, in an Instagram post on Thursday, August 1, the Nigeria Football Federation uploaded an image of the trio of Super Eagles representatives – Chidi Ngoka (Equipment Manager), Enebi Achor (Team Manager) and midfielder John Ogu along with a message that read:

"Business tycoon Aliko Dangote today in Lagos redeemed his pledge of $50,000 to the @NGSuperEagles for their one against Algeria in AFCON 2019 semifinal.

"Money was presented by Olakunle Alake, GMD of Dangote Group accompanied by Anthony Chiejina, Chief Corp. Comm. Officer."

Interestingly, despite the setback for not reaching AFCON 2019 final, Nigeria defeated Tunisia's Carthage Eagles 1-0 to claim the bronze medal in the third place match.

#BBNaija: New housemate, Joe alleged to be Khafi’s ex-boyfriend

For all those who have been complaining of the Pepper Dem housemates being boring, hope you can see the mega twists Big Brother has added in 24 hours?

Tuesday saw two people, Venita and Elozonam joining the gang and just when they thought things would start to settle down, another two, Enkay and Joe, joined on Wednesday. That's not all the twist though. Guess what?

It turns out that Joe, the latest housemate is alleged to be Khafi's ex. Ha! Biggie, why na? He even told Khafi, 'I came for you." It is no news that Khafi is currently dating Gedoni.

According to speculations, Biggie has given Joe a secret task….lean towards Khafi to provoke Gedoni.


The drama this new twist is garnering online is crazy. Funny enough, a lot of fans are happy about Joe's entrance into the house and hope he can break the Khadoni (Gedoni and Khafi) ship which has become more about sex these past days.

Posted: 02 Aug 2019 06:30 AM PDT


Following the addition of new male housemates, there has been a couple of subtle reactions from the ladies in the house.

Recently, Big Brother introduced four new housemates, two of whom were males named Elozonam and Joe. Ever since the new additions arrived, the ladies in the house have been talking about them behind closed doors.

In a private conversation, Esther and Diane expressed their opinions about Joe and Elozanam. According to them, they do not find both of them attractive.


Diane particularly said that she would not be distracted by any of them because they are not her type as they are both fair and short.


Esther who listened to Diane talk for a while also agreed that Joe and Elozonam were not attractive. On the other hand, the duo complimented the new female housemates, Venita and Enkay, by saying that they were really beautiful.

Disney’s Lion King Remake Made $1 Billion in 19 Days

Posted: 02 Aug 2019 04:30 AM PDT

Disney's Lion King Remake Made $1 Billion in 19 Days
In just 19 days since it was released, Disney's remake of "The Lion King" is poised to make $1 billion at the global box office Tuesday, making it the fourth Disney film this year to hit that figure.
Disney's live-action remake of "Aladdin" took a full two months before it crossed the $1 billion threshold, and the film is now the sixth live-action Disney release and 15th in all to ever surpass the $1 billion mark in what is proving to be an incredibly dominant year for the Mouse House.

This year alone in addition to "Aladdin," "Avengers: Endgame" and "Captain Marvel" scored big, and it's likely that "Frozen 2" and "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" could do the same, which would help Disney mount a $9 billion profit in 2019.

Jon Favreau's "The Lion King" split critics with just a 52% score on Rotten Tomatoes, but the film managed an A CinemaScore all the same. In fact, prior to the initial wave of reviews and online backlash, expectations for how big "The Lion King" could open were even higher. Yet it managed to earn $191.8 million domestically, still the eighth highest opening weekend of all time and a record for a July release.

The film even dipped much more than expected in its second weekend, dropping 60% for a $75.5 million second weekend. But "The Lion King" still easily managed to top the release of Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood." The dip is consistent with the performance of another film that opened to $191 million, "Avengers: Age of Ultron." The 2015 Marvel movie earned $77.7 million in its second weekend and went on to gross $459 million domestically and $1.4 billion worldwide.

"The Lion King" isn't strictly a live-action remake, but a fully CGI animated film made to look photo realistic. The remake of the 1994 classic features the voice talent of Donald Glover, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, Seth Rogen, Billy Eichner, Chiwetel Ejiofor, John Oliver, Florence Kasumba, Keegan-Michael Key, John Kani, Alfre Woodard, Eric Andre and James Earl Jones returning as Mufasa.

AFRIMA Withdraws Hosting Rights From Ghana

Posted: 02 Aug 2019 01:00 AM PDT


The International Committee of the All Africa Music Awards (AFRIMA) has withdrawn the hosting rights from Ghana for the 2019 and 2020 editions of AFRIMA.

AFRIMA cited the lack of capacity by the host country to meet the financial and contractual obligations entered on July 12, 2018, necessary to retain hosting the biggest music event in Africa.

The body reached the decision on Monday after several months of meetings and consultations with relevant stakeholders to remedy the situation with the expectation that Ghana would provide concrete assurances and guarantees to discharge its contractual obligations for hosting the 2019 and 2020 editions of AFRIMA after its disappointing performance on the contract during the 2018 edition of the awards held in Accra between November 21 and 24.

Fox Meek reports that the decision of the African Union (AU) and AFRIMA to award a three-term hosting right (2018-2020) of the awards to Ghana followed the May 21, 2018 declaration of President Nana Akufo Addo of his desire to host the AFRIMA Awards in Ghana during the AFRIMA 2018 Calendar Unveiling Ceremony held in Accra.


The International Advisor of AFRIMA, Rikki Stein, while thanking the young people and the media in Ghana said: "It was a hard decision for us to withdraw the awards hosting rights for the next two years (2019 and 2020 editions) from the Republic of Ghana. As an awards owned for the African people, it is structured to travel around the continent giving the people the true African experience."

He added: "We have some fond memories of our time in Ghana immersing ourselves in the lifestyle and music and we have formed great friendships among the Ghanaian people. We look forward to returning to Ghana at a more opportuned time.

However, we cannot afford to compromise the standard of the laudable vision of AFRIMA to create a truly African brand that connects Africans and build the equity of Africa. The situation faced in Ghana has the potential to erode the goodwill and giant strides we have achieved in Africa through the awards."

Mr. Stein, a former manager and friend of Afrobeat Legend, Fela Kuti, added that AFRIMA is geared to increase the tourism and entertainment equity of a host country as the host receives an influx of international and Africa dignitaries, AFRIMA nominees, music stars and executives who attend the four-day programme of activities.

The International Committee of AFRIMA said it is working to determine a new host country for the 6th edition of the annual AFRIMA to be announced in August 2019.
