Whaoo! Footballer Ikechukwu Uche finds new GF after failed romance with actress Uche Jombo

Naaaa, we won’t say this is wrong, but cheating on Uche while they were together is so wrong. Anyways, trust Stella Dimoko of Encomium to always open their yansh. Here is how she reported it in the Mag….
Nice movie script you say? Unfortunately, what you are about to read is not a movie script. The picture was taken in America (There's a pic of them in the mag) when the footballer paid the new love of his life a visit. Even when Ikechukwu and Uche Jombo were dating and supposedly engaged to be married, the footballer was already having a smoky affair with Ruth Okoro. There's a particular movie producer in Nollywood who is friends with Ikechukwu and his footballer brother and he supplies them girls anytime they are in the country for holidays or national assignment.
Hoping Uche gets her man soon and flaunts him.

Mr Neyal of the $200,000 investment is Goldie’s lover

It was recently reported on how a foreigner invested $200,000 on Goldie’s new reloaded album project. But that is not the news. The news actually is that Mr Neyal, a Dubai born millionaire who held a private part for her in Lagos to announce his investment in her music is actually her boyfriend. How did we know? They sent out a press release to us about the album and also stating that Mr Neyal is her lover. We had to ask them well, if that wasn’t a mistake, lol, but the reply from Goldie’s camp was that, Neyal feels bad that people don’t know he is her lover. So una don hear am. Anyways it is good to know her man is not ready to hide behind her shadow. Can the Skuki brothers now go and have a sit somewhere? Thank you.
N.B It was reported by some bloggers that, one of the Skuki brothers is in a love relationship with Goldie, and the other brother is against the relationship. So they had a big fight over the issue and it was leaked to the press. Anyways, I find the story had to believe.

I’m not happy reporting this at all. I grew up watching this guy in movies as a very handsome, fun loving man. So sad he is gone today. I was told he died earlier today after a long battle with Diabetes. So so sad. May his soul rest in peace.

It’s a baby girl for Lara Rawa & Symon Adeji

Yes it's a bouncing baby girl for Lara Rawa, at a point everyone was eagerly awaiting the date of her nuptial to the well known Publisher of Sleek Magazine-Mr. Symon Adeji. According to our findings nearly everything towards a successful ceremony had been put together, to the extent that we heard a pastor had blessed the relationship, only for us to hear later, that it wasn't going to be again, why? We are still investigating. The one good that thing seems to have come out of the affair- is the beautiful, bouncing baby girl! Mother and baby are said to be doing very well. The baby daddy like we already told you is the publisher of Sleek Magazine, while Lara Rawa is the MD/CEO of Eventi Verdi, a top Event planning outfit. Now that there is a baby daughter, maybe the parents would now reconsider their stance(s) & might get back together again.
Curiously! We have not seen the baby daddy around for quite a while now and even the Lifestyle magazine he publishes has been off the shelves for a while, why? We would soon found out. Stay tuned…. Maestromedia

Ex-soccer star Victor Ikpeba set to Re-marry

As Air hostess lover moves in with him
Erstwhile African footballer of the Year and ex-Super Eagles striker, Victor Nosa Ikpeba has found love again. 
According to those who should know, Victor's new love is Temitayo Ade, an air hostess with Chanchangi Airline.  Pretty and very light skinned, she is in her late 20s and she formerly works with the defunct Virgin Nigeria.
An Abeokuta indigene, she resides at Ogba in Lagos with her family and drives a navy Blue Toyota Avalon car. Those who are close to the beautiful lady informed us that she has benefited immensely from the affair.
Click to read more…tnx to Top News
Though unconfirmed, insiders alleged that it was the footballer and widower that bought her the car. Also, they said the ex-footballer pampers her so much with cash and attention.
And if what one of the friends of Temitayo told Top News is anything to go by, then the latest love birds may tie the knot before April 2012.
 According to those who know their love story well, their paths crossed during one of Victor's trips to Abuja, they met aboard Virgin Nigeria Airline; Temitayo former company.
Though, Ikpeba, a regular visitor of the Nightshift Coliseum at Opebi has been linked with so many ladies after he lost his wife, Atinuke; mother of his children (Magdalene and Christina), he also has a woman in France that had two beautiful young girls for him but he seems to have been struck by the cupid’s arrow of Temitayo.
For now, they have been enjoying a whirlwind romance.  Infact, insiders alleged that Temitayo has moved in with him and they're now living under the same roof at Gbemisola Street in Ikeja where Victor has his house. The only thing left is to formalize their union, a source said.
Victor also visits her home in Ogba and he has been known by people in the community, that he has a link with the lady’s family especially Temitayo's mum who has been praying fervently that the widower should tie the nuptial knot with her only daughter this year. And from the way they are carrying on with their romance lately, the wedding bells may soon toll for them.
Victor Nosakhare Ikpeba, once fondly known and addressed as the Prince of Monaco because of his exploits in that part of the world, was married to Atinuke whom he later lost to the cold hands of death. She was diagnosed of cancer.
The Edo indigene whose other siblings are Peace, James, Joy, Iyabo, Micheal, Kayode and Balogun also lost his mother, Mrs. Dora Mubo Ikpeba, aged 6o to death on September 9, 2003. 
Insiders alleged that the former Monaco FC, Borussia Dortmund of Germany, Julius Berger of Nigeria player is considering marriage again while Temitayo Ade, who is well known in the circle of some big boys in that past, can't wait to settle down.

Ugonna Madueke Explodes: A wicked attack on my person via internet photographs


Remember a lot of online magazines published the pictures of Ugonna Madueke (the petroleum minister’s step son) with friends and how they live large? Well, Ugonna says it’s not what Nigerians are thinking, and he didn’t take the pictures just to show off. They were pictures taken at different events. Oh well…
It was with great dismay that I awoke a few days ago to see the pictorial publications being circulated about my family and me by the on-line media. It has stirred up a great deal of controversy and has portrayed our family in a negative light.
The pictures posted were taken over a period of time, some before my mother left the private sector as an ED at Shell to work for the Nigerian government.  Although I benefited from a comfortable upbringing I was raised in a fairly strict environment by a military father who insisted that we worked to support ourselves whilst in school. He ensured that we had the basic minimum to support us covering tuition food and transport only.
Click to read further
We were all compelled to work to support ourselves and at the same time excel academically. I am a fully qualified engineer who has worked in my area of expertise for the last 2 and half years. I work very hard at my job and like many people across the globe I also party hard.
The pictures of my brother with Neyo and Dbanj are typical of the way any young man or woman will react getting somewhat excited when they run into stars whether they be home grown or international. Most people will be more than happy to have their photograph taken with them.
As far as the limo ride goes, they are commonly used as airport taxis overseas. Occasionally myself along with my friends and family chip in to pay approx $100 from the airport to our destination. To put this in context it is approximately N16, 500. There were 6 of us in the limo ride, which worked out to be roughly N2000 per head.
With regards to the picture of me in the airplane, which by the way was shot almost 2 years ago, the explanation is really quite simple. I was in America to attend the wedding of an old classmate whose parents had chartered a small aircraft to take some of the bride's closest friends and family to the destination. I did what anyone in my shoes would do and took a picture, Facebook is a testament to that.
It has been alleged that my family flew to America to attend a party, The event we attended was the Chris Aire event for the unveiling of NIGERIA’S GEM STONES with my Mother in her capacity as the then Minister of Mines & Steel. It was an event designed to promote Nigerian Gem stones.
The picture of us on the Red Carpet as we attended the event has also being published. I struggle to fully understand how something that was intended to showcase Nigerian talent and products is now seen as wrong. She also honoured an invitation at the London Stock Exchange to make a presentation; a clear indication that the Gemstone event at Los Angeles had started attracting foreign investors.
The picture showing members of my university fraternity and I holding some money was taken several years ago, while I was an undergraduate. It was a requirement of the society that we documented our fund raising success for a charitable course on behalf of the society I belonged to in the university. The society is called Alpha – Phi – Alpha University of Maryland Chapter.
Like any young man, I have had my fair share of fun, hanging out and partying I am grateful for the upbringing that I have had. This does not however mean I am immune from the realities of the plight of millions of Nigerians living at or below the poverty line. If the pictures (published out of context) were intended to portray me or my family as insensitive to the plight of millions of Nigerians I can honestly state that this is by no means who we are.
What this has taught me however is that, with positions of privilege and leadership come humility and responsibility not only by those in leadership but members of their extended family also.
I sincerely apologise to my family and the Nigerian public for any hurt, anger or embarrassment that might have been caused by these pictures, which were taken completely out of context. I will endeavor to ensure that all my actions in future will be sensitive to the plight of all.
However I have absolutely no control over this well orchestrated smear campaign, which is mainly directed at my mother, I therefore appeal to Nigerians not to take everything they see or read at face value.
