My interview with top Ghanaian actress – Yvonne Nelson-was a revelation in so many ways. Of the leading Nollywood stars, Yvonne is among those I had not had a close relationship with. I had watched her from afar, seen countless number of her movies and had always thought she was a great and talented actress – someone who combined poise, beauty and style. I had also heard of some unsavory things ascribed to her – the rumors of sexual orientation which some say verged between pure lesbianism and bi-sexualism – all manner of shenanigans that had been whispered and published about her. One of the rumors that dominated the industry, last year, was one that centered on her sexual orientation. It was widely speculated that Yvonne Nelson was a lesbian or, at best, a bi-sexual. Until this moment, Yvonne had not commented on that rumor and when I asked her what her real sexual orientation was, she looked me straight in the eye and said “look at me….what do you think? O...

Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Muhammadu Buhari in the meeting he held with passionate volunteers in Lagos on Tuesday, 23 December, spoke with clarity and wit about issues ranking from the economy and stablilising the naira, to politics of issues, to his stewardship at the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF).  He also repeated his call for peaceful elections and for citizens to protect their votes. Of particular interest however are his statements on misplaced priorities in the government spending and his government’s success in fighting domestic terrorism, a very important point in history to remember as Nigeria battles the now dreaded Boko Haram sect. As reported by a blogger, Joachim MacEbong, who was at the event: One part of Buhari’s time in the military that has to be spoken about a lot more, is his decisiveness in dealing with enemies of the Nigerian state. He recounted an episode when Chadian troops killed Nigerian soldie...

Her grieving husband, Chief Lawrence Ugochuk­wu Ifewulu,(above) has given an indication that she may have been killed by her boyfriend, who he sus­pects could have done so to prevent her from divulg­ing their plans to kill him, dispose off his assets and elope to Canada with his children.Still beset by the shock of discovering the corpse of his wife who was pre­paring to go out as he left the house to visit a clinic for some medical test, If­ewulu accused his wife of infidelity.
