Nadia and I have our strengths and weakness – Jim Iyke –

Nollywood actor, Jim Iyke has been making headlines for the days now and the buzz isn’t going down anytime soon. In an interview with Punch, he speaks on controversies, Nollywood, and his partner Nadia Buari. Read excerpts: On being out of the movie scene for a while: “Nothing was challenging anymore. It was too easy and too perpetual. It was too boring and too predictable. I had no room to pursue or hone other skill sets I had. I didn’t have time for extra curriculums like hobbies, family, and friends, personal and social advancements. Something had to give! After all, I was the guy that made 38 films in a year” On Nollywod’s slow progress: “Ours, if it isn’t oil and politics, then it isn’t attainable. They tie up funds in bogus and outlandish conditions and make bold and futuristic propaganda-driven statements as to how it is accessible to every practitioner that simply has to ask for the taking. The sad part is that the practitioners do not even recognise the most basic of their fundamental rights. How can you ask, when you don’t understand what you’re asking for? The ones that do understand and fight to the helm of affairs are busy fighting each other and developing schemes to enrich their shallow pockets.” On Controversies: “I’ve heard that I deem myself something of a puppeteer and that I orchestrate these media maelstroms to maintain relevance and news. I wish I was that creative! The other side of the debate – the more discerning would argue – I’m a victim of PR machinery gone wrong. Perhaps my handlers in the earlier stages of my career saw a need to create an unfathomable media being that was as audacious as the characters I played in films. It caught on. Caused quite a stir, then quickly spiralled out of control. There were days when I wondered if I could have done something about it; like a campaign to state I was a different person. But then, the media loved it too much. It sold millions of movies. It sold papers. It also sold my privacy and peace of mind. I struggled for years to understand what it was doing to my psyche, my relationships, my family, my spirituality.” On Nadia Buari: “She (Nadia) is a solid down-to-earth woman. I’m a man that translates variables in ways many people find incomprehensible. We have embraced who we are and learnt to create our own world and expectations. We have ups and downs like every other couple. We have our strength and weakness as well. At the end of the day, rumours of break ups and make ups ought to abound. It really doesn’t matter. A relationship is a continuous work. Those that give up, perhaps weren’t committed enough. Those that go in for the long haul suck up and square up to the variables life throws at them. The people that judge harshly are obviously the ones that live far from their desired lives. We just live the best way we know how and leave the rest to the author and finisher of all things.” On if he will run for AGN President: “I’ve had occasion where they tried to drag me into this unpredictable territory. I assure you categorically Nollywood politics holds no iota of interest for me.”

Justin Bieber to Selena Gomez: I NEED You! You're My SOULMATE!

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are back together once again, a new rumor alleges, and the unlikely catalyst was the former's recent racism controversy.

According to a source close to Gomez, Justin reached out to her after he came under fire for his two shocking n-word videos, seeking emotional support.

The insider claims Bieber told his ex that he "needed her by his side" and his heartfelt words sent her flying to Canada on a private jet last weekend.

“Justin reached out to Selena when he was getting tons of backlash for his controversial race joke. He told Selena that he really missed her," the source says.
The coup de grace came when he said that Selena Gomez "was the ONLY one who truly understood him and that he needed her by his side."
“He said that his father’s birthday celebration wouldn’t be the same without Selena because she's part of the family,” the source also reveals.
“He also told her she was his soulmate and that he was lost without her."
Swoon alert. To the surprise of no one, these were deep words "that Selena had longed to hear, even though she’s basically heard them before."
"Yep, they are crazy about each other … once again.”
Apparently, this convinced Selena to fly to Canada for the low key birthday celebration for his father, Jeremy Bieber, on the weekend of June 7-8.
 
Selena flew on up to Canada to spend the weekend at a private cottage with Justin, his dad, his siblings and friends. So are they back together officially?
That remains to be seen, but Justin posted a photo of her and said their "love is unconditional" before taking it down this week, so there's that.
Also, a family friend of Jeremy’s girlfriend, Victoria Nosko, tweeted a thank you message to Selena and others who attended the birthday bash.
Moments later, she deleted that tweet and posted literally the same message sans Selena's name, as if trying to cover up the fact that she was there.
Nice try. Seems like these two have rekindled the flame again but are keeping it quiet. Wonder if she's the one who took today's Bieber bed selfie.

Pictures - New Dad Outraged His Newborn's Mouth Was Taped Shut By Maternity Nurse For Crying

A new dad from the Phillipines has sparked outrage in parents everywhere after he posted pictures on Facebook showing how his son, Yohannes, had his mouth celotaped shut by a nurse at the maternity hospital where the boy was born. The pictures show the poor little baby sleeping with the strip across his lips and taped to both his cheeks. In one picture the boy, at just five days old, as seen crying as the celotape is being taken off his face.

The father claims his wife, Jasmine, returned to the nursery Friday evening to find the baby gagged with tape at the Cebu City hospital. The furious father wrote on Facebook;

PROFESSIONAL??? NOT FROM THE LOOKS OF THIS!!!

One of the most degrading and hurtful feelings parents feel when their baby is supposedly in "good hands" of a professional establishment

Would you tolerate this?
I'm the father of this baby and I CANNOT and WILL NOT tolerate this bullshit!!

Upon Jasmine Janice's visit back to the nursery room on May 9th at around 8:00 pm, she found our baby gagged with tape covered over his mouth. This is not even close to being professional or humane.

Jasmine immediately asked the attending nurse "why is there tape over his mouth?" and the reply she got from the nurse was "your baby was TOO NOISY (crying) so i put that over his mouth...."

With whatever reasons that nurse may have had to gag our son, there were other factors why our 5 day old baby was crying.

It was discovered by Jasmine that our baby had peed his diaper!!! was there just NO TIME to check that? do you just put tape over a baby's mouth, just because he's too noisy? did you take time to inspect and do your job properly? ARE YOU RESPECTABLE???

When the nurse was asked to take off the tape over his mouth, the respond was "you can go ahead and take it off yourself, ma'am" after Jasmine tried to take the plaster tape off his mouth without success, the attending nurse had to eventually take it off herself and eventually do it and in the process a piece of his upper lip's skin ripped off with the tape as the nurse removed the tape.

We reported this incident immediately to their INFORMATION DESK, we were instructed not to delete the pictures (uhhh duhh of course not) so we can present them to the Chief Nurse of Maternity Hospital.

This probably not an isolated incident so we cannot really say your babies are safe at this establishment. What most people don't see in the nursery room is very different from what's actually happening behind closed doors.

They handle your children there like puppies out of a dog pound. I personally have seen this with my own eyes and I am very surprised this is what people call "a respectable establishment"

Babies, especially infantss and a newborn for that matter, are so defenseless and delicate, why would anyone want to hurt them. And this is supposed to be a trained nurse working in a maternity. I'm glad the parents have taken it up with the relevant authorities.

It's no wonder some women, even when they deliver in hospitals that have nurseries prefer to keep their babies in their rooms and close to them. This highly depends on the hospital, but new parents have to be extra vigilant. In some cases, no one can protect your baby, and not even the ones you think are most capable.

The new dad reports the baby is now home, safe and sound.

Miley Cyrus Hits Nightclub With 14-Year Old Sister

Miley Cyrus and her little sister Noah have been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons lately.
They first raised eyebrows earlier this week when Miley and Noah danced to a Bob Marley song on Instagram in a fashion that many considered inappropriate for a 14-year-old.

• 
• 

Next, Miley posted a photo of her and Noah in bed together. Yet again, the Internet collectively said, "Eh...probably innocent but still kinda weird."
Now Miley has taken things a step further still by taking Noah (who, again, is 14 years old) to a nightclub while on tour in Barcelona, Spain.
It's not as though Noah was spotted stumbling out of the club drunk, in fact we have no reason to believe she imbibed at all. It's just that there's something unsettling about a barely-high-school-aged girl in a nightclub...
The official drinking age in Spain is 18, but as anyone who ever took a European class trip will tell you, booze laws tend to not be as strictly enforced in Europe as they are stateside.
We've already seen photos of Miley getting drunk with her mom, so we know the Cyruses are a party family, and we think it's a fair guess that Miley's not abstaining from anything while she's on tour in Europe.

So that leaves two options:
Noah is partying along with Miley.
she's keeping her distance and watching some serious stuff go down.
Either way we hope she gets home soon and in one piece.

RMD reacts to bad health rumour, says hes’s in the best shape of life

There have been rumours both online and on entertainment magazines that Nollywood icon and Delta State Commissioner for Culture & Tourism, Richard Mofe-Damijo, has health issues probably because of his recent weight loss. Check out some recent pictrures of him and believe me he looks more handsome here!

Anyway, RMD has reacted to the rumors, saying he’s better than ever.

“What else do you need? You saw me on stage, did I look sick? People are probably so disappointed to see me looking so much better they want the news to be true. Unfortunately for them, I am in the best shape of my life.

“Have you not taken photos of me. It amazes me how people cling to bad news. I am a public servant in Delta State, I go to work every day. I am not sick. I changed my lifestyle and lost weight and I am looking better than I have ever looked in my adult life. For the records, I am not on Facebook and my colleagues that they used their names as those who posted the stories have all denied it.”RMD told Weekend Groove
