The traditional recipe also uses utazi (a native bitter leaf). I have substituted a mix of spinach and dandelion leaves which approximates the taste of utazi.

See Why a Man kills His Sugar Mummy in Lagos and flees to Ghana

The Lagos State Police Command, yesterday, disclosed that it was close to apprehending the 33-year-old man who allegedly strangled his lover, a 39-year-old mother of four in her apartment at Green Estate, Amuwo Odofin area of Lagos, two weeks ago.

This is just as it has identified the fleeing suspect as one Kelechi Williams.

All was reportedly going on well for Williams and his international business woman lover and Chief Executive Officer /Managing Director of Edmark International, identified as Njideka Lizzy Nzewe, until July 19, 2014.

According to reports, the late Njideka who was to travel to the United States of America on July 24, 2014, with her kids, had gone to the bank in the company of Williams to withdraw N4 million.

However, at about 2.30 am, Williams allegedly tied her hands, strangled her and thereafter, made away with over N8 million, her phones and her Range Rover SUV.

Police sources told Vanguard that the twine used to strangle the mother of four was found on her neck when they arrived.

Police sources further hinted that homicide detectives at Area ‘E’ Command, Festac Town, were closing in on the suspect.

“During investigation, we discovered that Williams have several other names. He fled to Ghana immediately he committed the act.

“Detectives embarked on forensic auditing investigation of his social media networks and with the assistance of INTERPOL, they have been able to locate his hideout,” Police sources said.

Marriage proposal

Preliminary investigations. as gathered, showed that Williams was one of the deceased’s staff. They were said to have been going out for some years, in the process of which he proposed marriage to Lizzy.

But she reportedly turned down the proposal on the ground of age difference.

Police sources explained: “During investigation, it was discovered that when the deceased business expanded, she employed Williams to manage the Ghana and West Coast branch of her company. Each time he comes to Nigeria, he exports goods to Ghana and circulate same to West Coast. During such visits, he stayed with Lizzy at her private apartment. That could be the reason why it was easy for him to snuff life out of her.

“On the day he killed Lizzy, he drove to the gate and told the unsuspecting guard that he was going to cash money from the ATM.”

Police sources further disclosed that during investigation, the fleeing suspect was discovered to be on the wanted list of policemen in Angola and South Africa, over undisclosed offenses.

Contacted, spokesperson for the Lagos State Police Command, Ngozi Braide, explained that the deceased was a single mother.

She said: “He strangled the woman with a rope inside her apartment. He locked up the place, packed her money, phones, international passports and about N8 million, which she intended to leave for him to run the business while she would be away.

“Lizzy’s brother, who was supposed to meet her so that they could move her things to her new home in Satelite Town, came over. But after several calls without response, the man became worried when he noticed that everywhere was locked.

“He, therefore, alerted the police at Festac Police Station, which prompted policemen to force the door to the woman’s apartment open and met her lifeless body on the floor. Investigation is on-going . We will get him.”

Khloe Kardashian Blames Her Ex Lamar Odom For Rob Kardashian's Drug Problem

Rob Kardashian has been in a dark place lately.
The sole male Kardashian and former sock designer made headlines for the first time in years when he skipped Kim Kardashian's wedding seemingly to avoid negative press regarding his overweight and generally unhealthy appearance.
It didn't work. Photos of a bloated and bleary-eyed Rob spread like wildfire on the web, as did news that Kardashian is suffering from an addiction to sizzurp that may well prove deadly.
No one knows for sure what may have triggered Rob's decline, but his sister Khloe scertainly has her theories:

Eff me with a dildo!
Discussing the matter with Brody Jenner in a a clip from the next episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Khloe blames her troubled relationship with Lamar Odom for sending Rob down a bad path.
"Rob has said, '[Living with Khloe and Lamar] was so dark and it made me do dark things.'" In a voice over for the episode, Khloe says, "Only Rob and Lamar and I know what went on in that house. I'm a nurutrer and I want to protect everyone. I wasn't there to protect Rob. I wasn't even there to protect myself. No one can make me not feel guilty."
Khloe never mentions drugs specifically but considering Lamar struggled with crack addiction amongst other demons, it seems pretty clear that she's blaming her brother's addiction troubles on her ex.

May Her Gentle Soul Continue to Rest In The Bosom of Our Lord!

Chris Brown: Dumped By Karrueche Tran Over Partying, Jealousy, Acting Like Child!

Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran are officially over, and insiders say the breakup was very much one-sided, with the model dumping the R&B singer.
Not only that, she's changed her number so the creep can't even contact her.
  • Karrueche Tran: Smoking Hot!
  • Chris Brown Jumpsuit

The last straw for Tran, apparently, was Brown playing the Rihanna card.
No, he didn't bet the crap out of Karrueche, but Chris "liked" two Rihanna photos on Instagram of the former couple together after a fight with Tran.
He then posted a pic of Karrueche in a thong that she didn't appreciate.
Seriously, that happened, and it was his way of getting back at her after he was upset that she was partying solo. It was a very healthy relationship.
Kae previously lamented battling Rihanna for Brown in an interview, but this wasn't the extent of her issues with Chris. In truth, it was only a small part.
Bottom line, according to a source, "Chris acts immature, like a child."
Sound about right from what we've observed. Moreover, she thinks he's ruining his life by spending more time partying than on music. Also sounds right.
Chris' reaction to the break-up? Jetting off to St. Tropez with a very good friend of Karrueche's, making sure to be photographed so she'd see it online.
Karrueche's reaction? Changing her number. Good riddance.

Kim Kardashian: No to Makeup, Yes to Kendall Jenner Topless!

Kim Kardashian has managed to post two revealing photos in one.

The reality star, who allegedly took 1,200 selfies in Thailand, unveiled a makeup-free self-portrait on Instagram today and included with it a shot of sister Kendall Jenner topless.
"LOVE @kendalljenner on the cover of LOVE," Kim wrote as a caption, showing off Jenner's latest magazine spread.
Kim Kardashian, No Makeup Pic
Is it weird for one sibling to be flaunting the picture of another sibling half-naked? Yes.
But Miley Cyrus put a picture of Noah Cyrus on the Internet this week and referred to the 14-year old's "#tigolbitties."
So, in this case, Kim's photograph and reference is actually quite tame.
To her credit, Kim Kardashian has actually posed make-up free on a number of occasions, giving fans their one glimpse at something real about her life.

Here's a look at another star who have done the same:Lorde Without Makeup

Lorde isn't just wearing no makeup in this Twit pic. She's wearing pimple cream!

EXPOSED: Lagos Massage Parlour Where You Get Séx As The ‘After-Service’ Bonus

Some people say that passion often flows when a man and a woman are left in a room long enough. This seems to be true of some service jobs that pitch guys and ladies together as service providers and clients.

Dalliance between male hairstylists and female clients
Kunle Olutayo, a male hair stylist, gets an average of ten female customers a day. Although not bad in terms of good looks, Olutayo grew up as a shy little boy, particularly around girls until his painful fortune changed about seven years ago when he became a hairstylist. Shortly after starting the job following a six months’ training, Olutayo could not believe his luck.

With an endless string of female customers, he no longer had to worry about his failing nerves since some of his female customers were "woman enough" to take the initiative.

Happy hour after massage: A cross section of masseuses said many of the clients who visit their parlours ask for ‘happy hours’ or ‘happy ending massages.’ These are érotic massages that end with hand jobs, blow jobs or séx...

“When some of the clients come in, they ask, ‘do you do happy hour or happy ending’ and we say no. The best thing is not to start what you won’t be able to finish; so we tell them that we don’t do such things here, but I know that some massage parlours do it abroad,” said Franca Oriakhi, the Managing Director of World Beauty Salon and Spa, Surulere, Lagos.

Another beauty therapist, Ruth Zobeashia of Rutiana Perfection Parlour, Ikeja in Lagos, also shared similar experiences on the job.

Zobeashia, who has had over 10 years’ experience as a masseuse, said, “Most of the Nigerian men who come here, once they see that it’s a beautiful lady that will attend to them, what goes to their head is séx after five minutes of massage.

“Some of them will say, ‘Can you suck me? Can you make me come? I will pay you extra for doing it.’ I tell them that we don’t offer anything beyond massage here. When I explain to them that I can’t do it, then they stop visiting. What most of them want is séx and not massage, really. It’s the whites (foreigners) who really understand the essence of massage and some blacks too that come here,” she said.

Zobeashia recalled how she had to escape through a bathroom window about seven years ago while giving a man a massage. The client had wanted séx also.

Recounting the incident, she said, “We get all kinds of harassment and embarrassment on the job. I was giving a man a massage one day when he insisted that he wanted to have séx with me. I told him that I needed to use the bathroom. It was through the window that I managed to get out.

“Some of the men will say that they have girls who tended to their needs where they used to have massage and so I tell them to go back there. One day, I asked a client demanding for séx if he would be happy if his wife was sleeping with her clients. I was shocked when he replied that he didn’t care, ‘after all, that’s her job.’”

Interestingly, some of the harassments are not limited to male clients, according to Zobeashia, who has received séxual invitations from female clients too. Some female clients who are lesbians also ask to be caressed and ero-tically fingered in their private regions during massages.

“Lesbians come here and want the same thing the men want. A man having trouble with his marriage once told me that he was advised by a friend to visit a massage parlour to get the séxual satisfaction his wife denied him at home,” she continued with a surprise look on her face.

Investigation indeed shows that some massage parlours offer séxual pleasures in Ikeja, Ikoyi and Lekki areas of Lagos. Many of such parlours keep the information within a circle, largely made up of foreigners.

A Briton who had a chat with our correspondent online named a few spas and massage parlours in Lagos that offer ‘happy hours’ or ‘happy ending’ massages. He also said there were masseurs and masseuses who service clients at home, with massage and séx.

“Some of us in the Nigerian white community patronise these places. Some Nigerians also know about them as well. There is a spa in Lagos with Asian women as masseuses, where clients can pay for what they want. Massage parlours that have happy endings are common in Asia, so maybe that’s why some Nigerians ask for such services here after experiencing it elsewhere,” he commented.

But that is not all; tattooists also deal with temptations from customers of the opposite séx. In Lagos, tattooists are predominantly males and are often required to tattoo on female ero-tic parts like the breasts, buttocks, thighs and the "down below".

Back to Olutayo
He was busy fixing the hair of one of his numerous female customers when Punch correspondent visited the salon he shares with four other stylists around the famous Ikeja Under-bridge in Lagos.

As he attached a weave-on to the customer’s hair, the two joked about the lady’s receding hairline. Some of the customer’s hair was falling off at the front and Olutayo teased her about it being one of the signs of old age.

Olutayo is close to many of his customers and has dated a few, even though he repeatedly described it as bad for business. When he was still new on the job, he was overwhelmed by the surplus number of women he encountered daily and so indulged himself when he could.

However, Olutayo has since learnt a few lessons.
“This job is not for womanisers. If you’re a womaniser, stay away from this job because you will continue to lose money. When I first started the job, it exposed me to so many women for the first time. I used to be very shy but on this job, I met women who seduced me. Some of the women would seduce their stylists to avoid paying for the service, which also means not paying on subsequent visits.

“So a womaniser has a lot to lose as a hairstylist. Now, I’ve learnt my lesson, I no longer sleep with my clients anyhow. I only date one lady customer now and that limits my loss. Before now, I used to forgo a lot of money to female customers that I had affairs with,” he said.

Explaining how his seducers perform their act, Olutayo demonstrated with his eyes, feigning séxual interest and willingness and hands, rubbing on our correspondent, who had briefly assumed the role of a stylist.

“The women won’t open their mouths to say they want any hairstylist, but once they are seated and you’re about to start fixing their hair, they can say they don’t have money and need to fix their hair for an important occasion, or say they can only afford an amount not up to half the price of the materials to be used and the service.

“While they are appealing, they are caressing you with their hands and looking at you with funny eyes (seductively). Some may call ahead to say they don’t have money. In such cases, negotiations can be done over the phone.

“If I’m interested, I only have to tell the customer that I’ve always liked her and ask for her affection in return. Almost 100 per cent of the time, they are open to an arrangement or rendezvous that could later lead to a hotel room,” he said sheepishly.

Special hotel booking called ‘short time,’ which is for an hour or two, is usually used for such rendezvous.

Punch findings reveal that many of the male hairstylists who actively womanise often fall under two categories - those who are new on the job and those who could not complete their apprenticeship for some reason.

A source explained that the newcomers are too inexperienced to deal with the temptations associated with their new job, while those in the other category are too grateful for their fortune in spite of their inability to complete their training that they over-indulge themselves in their 'good fortune'.

I look at some of them (hairstylist womanisers) and I shake my head. They lose in so many ways because if the customer cannot pay for the weave-on, the stylists may have to use their own weave-on as well, fix the hair free of charge, pay N1,500 or N2,000 for the ‘short time’ they will spend at the hotel with the customer, possibly buy drinks there and even miss one or two other customers that will call at their shops while they are away,” said Segun, a male hairstylist with eight years’ experience.

Although, the category of women who visit male hairstylists range from students to workers in practically all fields, from Olutayo’s experience, the women who are open to such dalliances are usually those referred to as club girls.

A cross section of male hairstylists said the next category of women usually open to having romance with them are single mothers. But with the single mothers, male hairstylists need not worry about not getting paid.

For instance, a male hairstylist, who identified himself as Johnson, narrated his experience with a female customer he once had a séxual affair with.

According to Johnson’s account, his romance with the woman started after his third visit to her Lekki residence for home service. Johnson does home service for customers who are willing to pay extra which has been factored in due to the distance, transportation cost and so on.

“The woman never negotiated any amount I charged and she always paid me.

It started innocently when she asked me to come and fix her hair at home, before it later graduated to séx. She was a single mother with one daughter, so she usually asked me to come in the morning when her daughter would be in school,” Johnson said.

Johnson added that he had noticed that a lot of his older female customers like to date young boys judging by their discussions at the salon, jokingly, describing salons as homes of gossips and rumours.

Most women confirmed that they prefer male hairstylists to their female counterparts in a poll conducted by our correspondent.

‘I’m in love with male hairstylists’
One of the respondents who identified herself as Nkem, admitted to having fantasised about dating her “handsome male hairstylists” countless times but couldn’t bring herself to initiate a move.

“I actually go to the salon that I use because of the male hairstylists. They are very handsome and sometimes I wish that one of them would ask me out but it has not happened yet. I think male hairstylists are better than the female ones because a man would know what fits you better than a woman,” she said.

Another place that promises an abundance of passion is a massage parlour because it usually pitches both men and woman together alone.

Visiting massage parlours for the wonders of the experienced hands of masseurs and masseuses is not yet a popular pastime in the country, however, the trend is growing by the day.

The idea of having a massage is therapeutic. It also helps the client to relax and be released of stress and body pains, but investigation shows that often times in Nigeria, clients wish for more than stress and pain relief. Findings show that many male clients get séxually aroused within a few minutes of body massage.

Tattooists are seduced by clients too
A tattooist, Abisola Ojikutu of Bizzysaki Tattoo Studio, Ikeja, told Punch that he sometimes gets seduced by female clients, but quickly added that in spite of it, he still strives to maintain professionalism on the job.

“I tattoo almost all parts of the body, including body parts of members of the opposite séx because it’s my job. I tattoo their private parts and do breast enlargement and other stuff. Yes, seduction happens because we are humans but I act professionally. And I have to also consider my money, so I act like I’m not moved. Even if a lady seduces me as a tattoo celebrity, we suspend all till after work,” he said.
