| Mercy Aigbe's Ex-husband, Lanre Gentry says Actress is still part of him and he won't re-marry Posted: 23 May 2020 11:30 PM PDT  Some days ago, it was reported on some blogs that Lanre Gentry, the estranged husband of actress and businesswoman, Mercy Aigbe, had married another woman simply identified as @fab_mrsgentry after he shared her picture on social media.However, in an interview with Saturday Beats, Gentry clarified that the woman in question was his brother's wife and not his new lover as many had assumed."I don't know why some Nigerians are quick to jump to conclusions when they see innocent and harmless posts online. Mercy Aigbe knows the lady I celebrated very well. This is not the first time that people have speculated that I've married another woman based on social media posts. It seems a lot of people are just obsessed with marriage for me. I'm a Yoruba man and if I want to marry another wife, I would do that."Gentry also claimed that he still has a good relationship with Mercy Aigbe. "Me and Mercy are not fighting. If I want to see her, I would call her and if she needs anything, she also calls me. We have a good rapport. God has the final say over our relationship and He knows how it would turn out in the future. I take care of my children. I can't speak for other fathers but I carry out my responsibilities as a man. I still see Mercy as a part of me. It's only a mentally unstable man that would leave a woman with children to go and fend for herself. I pay my children's school fees diligently and I thank God that their mother is also taking good care of them. It's not easy for a woman to work and also take care of the children.", he added.

| Cinema experience is back in Lagos Posted: 23 May 2020 05:30 AM PDT Lagosians got to experience the drive-in cinema experience again with SwiftThink's first show held at the open-air grounds of Redemption Camp, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. With the coronavirus pandemic that led to shut down of public buildings including cinemas, this pop-experience which started on Monday, March 23, has recorded over 71 vehicles with occupants sitting in the safety of their cars from where they witnessed the exciting HD screen truck experienceThe HD screen throws out crisp pictures over a distance radius of 200 metres such that the movie was visible to those who are parked far away. And the sound travels farther than that. The roaster of content which lasted a few days, encompassed different genres including religious films, local films and foreign flicks, all censored to avoid obscenities.Top most on the priority of the organisers was to ensure that attendees followed proper checks in compliance with safety guidelines for COVID-19. "People stayed in their houses from morning till night because of the lockdown. So we thought of what to do to help people ease boredom while ensuring people observed strict adherence to social distancing guidelines," Ayoola Jolayemi, CEO of SwiftThink Limited who came up with the iniiative said. On whether it could compromise social distancing protocol, Jolayemi informs: "We made it known to people from the start that the only way to gain entry into the park is to arrive in a car––no car, no entry. So, people came in their cars." One of the attendees known as Victor told Pulse that the drive-in makes him get the cinema experience without being scared. "I want the program to continue as it helps to relax the mind and helps to ease boredom and twice in a week won't be bad," Victor said. Ayoola says this pop-up can be used for several events and is willing to partner with other organisers.  |
| Tiwa Savage – “The modern African woman is being limited” Posted: 23 May 2020 05:00 AM PDT  Nigerian music star, Tiwa Savage, has talked about her challenges as a female artist, with Billboad magazine.Tiwa who covered Billboard's latest issue with Davido and Mr Eazi, said that a lot of people in Africa still have the idea that a woman has to be submissive, which is not a bad thing, but that the modern black woman is being limited. "A lot of people in Africa still have the idea that a woman has to be submissive, stay at home and be the wife and mother. Don't get me wrong. Those are great morals to keep. But I think the modern African woman, the modern black woman is being limited. We can do both. You can have a successful full-time job, you can be strong and vulnerable at the same time. That's the message I'm trying to put across. So when you see my videos or see me on the red carpet, don't think I'm not at home cooking for my son or helping him with homework when I'm not doing shows." She said.  |

| 7 success tips for Big Brother Naija’s audition Posted: 23 May 2020 04:00 AM PDT  The Big Brother Naija 2020 audition is here.Seven success tips have been highlighted by ex-housemates for intending housemates of Big Brother Naija 2020.For every reality TV show, contestants try to seek success tips ahead of the auditioning as no one is sure of what character Big Brother actually wants in his house.As known, the audition process offers the chance to every contestant to stand out and prove just why the public should be tuning into you each week for the duration of the show.Here are seven success tips that will be useful for you at the Big Brother Naija 2020 auditions. 1. You need to be confident Every contestant aiming to pass through the audition to the next stage must be confident all through the given period. Reality show experts believe it's normal to be easy but it's best to make it known and overcome it. Part of being confident is wearing something memorable but not crazy. Contestants don't need to wear a costume or three-piece suit that you ordinarily don't wear or not comfortable in. Wear something you are comfortable in as this will boost your confidence which is key to success. 2. Be yourself and embrace your personality in totality. Every contestant must understand that his/her imperfections could set him/her apart from the lot. According to an reality show casting expert, Sarah Monson, flaunt your being and embrace it in totality. If you have big boobs, tattoos, big bums, fat, slim, thick, light skinned, dark skinned or a biracial, hide your figure, skin colour or person, rather, show them off. Lastly, being fake is very obvious to the casting judges, hence, they're also not impressed by weird stunts. 3. Be honest all through. Most individuals, who lie about their person, life history or answer questions with fake responses hardly go far. The biggest deal-breaker in the business is a lie. A criminal record or embarrassing past won't make casting directors rule you out, but lying about them will. 4. Be prepared to sell your uniqueness. There's obviously something unique about you and that is why you will be found intriguing and probably chosen by the judges. Do you have six toes? A lazy eye? Anger management issues? All these are not deal breakers, as they just might be the 'it' factor to get into the Big Brother House. 5. Show your talent. One thing you need to bring to the audition venue is your A game. Every contestant needs to pick a succinct script and stick to it. another way to go about this is to think about a person who might be your polar opposite housemate if picked and this will help the casting judge see where you can fit in Big Brother House. 6. Get a business plan and strategy ready. From BamBam to Bisola and Lolu, ex-housemates have agreed that there is every need to have a business plan or strategy ready. Experts further said contestants must have a strong opinion if they plan on getting cast for the Big Brother Naija. Interestingly, the opinion or strategy can be anything, just stick with it and follow through with it and never deter. 7. Be polite. All contestants need every need to be in their best behaviour. Not because they will all be chosen but because you never know when a polite act might be the only card you need to get into the Big Brother House.  |
