These days, It is very difficult to fine any man who has only slept with his wife in 21 years...very hard! Anyway, the sad news coming from the White House in the United States is that President Barrack Obama and his beautiful wife, Michelle Obama, are heading for divorce. We at OluFamous.Com wish it is not true but here is how a credible source, the National Enquirer, is reporting the story: The Obamas 21-year marriage has dissolved in a string of ugly fights that got worse at the Mandela memorial incident and far more outrageously Mrs Obama's discovery that some Secret Service bodyguards had been in the act of covering up President Obama's infidelity while he was "enjoying" some sexy ladies... This is an allegation the White House has declined to comment on, though after Bill Clinton's trouser-dropping scandals, Americans would be rather less sanguine about any extra-marital affair by their president. Mrs Obama, the Enquirer claims, intends to st...

Pastor Kris Okotie of the Household of God Church tells Punch's Gbenro Adeoye in this interview why he still wants to run for president despite his three failed attempts and why he splashed over N150m on two luxury cars recently. The issue about the Catholics was also addressed again... What's your thought about Chief Olusegun Obasanjo's letter to President Jonathan?Like I mentioned in that piece, I don't want to get involved in the presidential skirmishes; but it is common knowledge that I admire President Olusegun Obasanjo as the greatest leader that Nigeria has ever had. He is the ipsissimus of the Nigerian genitive nuance, that is, the personification of the untapped uniqueness of the Nigerian seed.  Why did you describe Obasanjo like this? Is it not ironic because not a few Nigerians feel he was part of the problem of Nigeria?The perception of the Obasanjo persona is always predicated on conjecture and political superstition. Many do not have the nece...

What is happening? Another shocking scandal has been recorded in the heart of the Catholic church... A nun who said she had no idea she was pregnant gave birth in Italy this week after she felt stomach cramps in her convent and was rushed to hospital for proper treatment, Italian media reported on Friday. The 31-year-old nun and her baby boy, who weighs 3.5 kilogrammes (nine pounds), are doing well and some new mothers in Rieti hospital have begun collecting clothes and donations for her, the reports said. "I did not know I was pregnant. I only felt a stomach pain," The Salvadorean nun was quoted as saying at the hospital. La Republica said she gave birth on Wednesday. ANSA said the nun had named her baby Francesco (Francis) — which is the new pope's chosen title and one of the most popular names in Italy, where St Francis of Assisi is the much-loved national patron saint. The nun, who is yet to name the man who impregnated her, belongs to the ...

NOT a few were shocked to their bone marrow when in December, 2013, Nigeria's popular comedienne, Oluwadamilola Adekoya, a.k.a Princess, publicly announced that her marriage of seven months has irretrievably broken up. Different reasons have been adduced for this break-up among which are: Her desperation to get married, age was no longer on her side and the fact that the husband thought she was more financially buoyant than what he eventually discovered. ENCOMIUM Weekly got her to talk on Saturday, January 11, 2014 morning where she opened up to us.   Is it true that your marriage has actually crashed? Since last year now, it's no news again. Yes, we are aware you made a statement late last year that your marriage has crashed. That's all. In your statement you said the marriage crashed due to irreconcilable differences. That's the reason. What were these irreconcilable differences? I am not ready to divulge them.  They are irreconcilable differences, so mention...

NOLLYWOOD star, Halima Abubakar has every reason to be grateful to God.  And the reason is not far-fetched.  A couple of weeks back, the talented role interpreter was down with chronic typhoid and ulcer, but now she is back on her feet.  However, throughout the period she was on sick bed, rumour mill was agog that the Kogi born entertainer was pregnant.  But she debunked this totally when ENCOMIUM Weekly had an exclusive interview with her in her Maryland, Lagos residence on Friday, January 10, 2013.  She also spoke on other issues including her controversial mode of dressing. 2013 has come and gone, how would you assess the year? It was a beautiful and revealing year.  It's also tasking and hard.  No matter how much I achieved during the year, I was also in the hospital before the New Year began.  But at the same time, I give thanks to Almighty God for keeping me alive. What were the things you didn't do well in 2013 that perhaps you inte...
