In Tears: Untold Stories Of The Late Actor, Muna Obiekwe

iEntertainment’s investigation into the death of late Nollywood actor, Muna Obiekwe reveals quite a number of saddening yet traumatising details of his life and circumstances that lead to his death including:

Muna Ibekwe: Death of a cat with nine lives!
Before the death of popular Nollywood actor, Muna Ibekwe on Sunday, January 18, he had been described as a cat with nine lives. Many around him were confident that he would survive the ailment just has he had always survived the life-threatening situations around him. As we all are aware now, the fair-skinned actor who has been described as ‘very nice’ didn’t survive. Muna is gone, gone to be with the winds but not without a story, a story that he shielded from the public, the story he kept behind the camera while he basked in the euphoria of stardom and ‘light, action, cut!

After his death, iEntertainment’s investigation reveals Muna discovered his kidney problem a long time ago but like most people, he thought he could manage it. He ignored the pain and continued working without paying much attention. According to a close source, he only took his drugs and medication once in a while as ‘Muna never believed the ailment could lead to his death. He believed he would survive it like he did the gunshot and death of his parents. He was not a man given to worrying about things. He believed it was not a coincidence his parents named him Munachimso, a name which means God is walking with me.’

The kidney problem persisted and Muna was eventually forced to seek the help of a doctor in a Lagos. The doctor gave him a ray of hope. He assured Muna that his worse fear of Kidney transplant might not happen if only he could do up to 20 dialysis. Vera Kanu, a mother figure to him in Nollywood confirmed our findings, “I was with him to the last hour. He was to do up to 20 dialysis; the doctor said if the dialysis improved his condition, the worse would certainly be over. He will be okay only if he stays away from alcohol but you know our artiste” she concluded.

Muna braced himself, kept the doctor’s appointment, spent money he had and some he didn’t have but unlike his many past pains he had survived, this one proved different. This one stretched the limit of his human endurance. This one threatened his life in a way that it had never been threatened before. This was hit him with so much pain that he slumped in his home, went unconscious and he eventually gave up the ghost when he was on his tenth dialysis. Our source continued “the dialysis was expensive for Muna. He was doing two in a week sometimes. And he would need blood injection on each occasion. Each appointment was costing him between N250, 000 to N300, 000; money he did not really have to spend. His health was eating deep into his purse yet Muna refused to go cap in hand begging for alms. He was a private guy who didn’t want the press or his colleagues to feast on his pain, and cast aspersions on Nollywood’s industry of beggars’.

Vera, his godmother corroborated the point. “He was managing it on his own. As a matter of fact, he has been managing it for a while until Ejiro Okurame and I came on board to help. We were combining resources to help him but there was very little we could do to save him. We had to enlist the help of Patience Ozokwor and Kanayo O. Kanayo (KOK) at a point. They rendered the help they could until he died.”

Contrary to many reports Muna was not ready to beg or raise money because he was too ashamed of what his colleague or press will say. “The guy was private. He kept to himself a lot and most importantly, kept his private life private; for instance, many people did not even know he was married with two children. Such was his life. He didn’t want press or his colleagues to start prying. He was particularly afraid of the press, hence his shutting his colleagues out of his pain. He knew if some Nollywood people got to know about it, the press would also get to know. He refused to beg to save Nollywood’s image, he in-turn, lost himself.” A Nollywood star told us the press needs to take it easy with stars, “we are human too and like every other person, we have our pains. The press needs to be less judgmental. If he wasn’t too scared of the press, perhaps, he would have reached out for help.”

Shortly before his death, Muna summoned enough courage despite his private nature and contacted Nollywood actress and former beauty queen, Ibinabo Fiberesima. He however, promised to get back to her, perhaps to discuss details of his deteriorating health with her but fate struck a fatal blow and he never did.

As much as causes of some ailments are mysterious, not a few people in Nollywood believe Muna brought the pain upon himself and he was a victim of a demon he couldn’t deal with. Muna was a chain smoker and heavy drinker. Despite his condition, multiple sources revealed he was still consuming alcohol on a regular basis. “Everybody in the industry knows Muna drinks a lot; even when he’s shooting in the North, he has a way of finding alcohol,” a Nollywood source told us. Muna was said to have taken heavily to alcohol after he lost his parents in a ghastly motor accident. ‘As a matter of fact, he was supposed to be in that car with them but by stroke of luck, he wasn’t and was spared. Afterwards, Muna took solace in liquor but that never affected his job. He was just like Sam Loco; he could drink the whole sea but when he hears the director shout ‘action,’ he gets into character. Muna was a method character despite his flaws’ our source reveals.

Speaking on the drinking habit despite his ailment, his godmother, Vera Kanu said ‘It’s not like he drinks heavily like you guys said. He drank but not as you are putting it,” she said with an emotion-laden voice. Speaking further, “Muna even called me during the holiday that he is now okay and ready to work so I should start bringing jobs because I was his producer. I told him thank God and that I would start as long as he does not do what the doctor told him not to do, which was drinking. The problem came back and he has been on it since then till he died.”

Another thing many people do not know about him again is that he was one of the three busiest actors. The other two are Mike Ezuronye and Yul Edochie. Muna is also the first cousin of Yul Edochie, that makes him a member of Pete Edochie’s family. 
 

Irina Shayk and Cristiano Ronaldo: It's Over!

A red flag has been thrown on the relationship between Irina Shayk and Cristiano Ronaldo.
The 29-year old model and the 29-year old soccer stud (who just won the title of World Player of the Year) have ended their relationship after five years.

It's unclear why the twosome have split, but a rep for Shayk has issued a statement that serves to quell negative press against his client.

Shayk "has been close with his family throughout the course of their relationship," he says, adding that "any negative rumors with regards to Irina and the Ronaldo family are completely false and have not been a factor in the cause of the spilt."

We wish both Irina and Cristiano the best of luck going forward; and we also wish all the single men and women out there who now think they have a chance with Shayk and Ronaldo the best of luck.

Uche Jumbo, Mike Ezuruonye and Others Mourn Muna Obiekwe + Dayo Amusa blasts colleagues


 Popular Yoruba movie producer and actress, Dayo Amusa has taken a swipe at her Nollywood colleagues over alleged neglect of Muna Obiekwe‘s deteriorating state of health before his sad and untimely demise. The actress took to instagram to register her displeasure: ‘Yes, Muna might have wanted or lived a private life but people knew he was sick, people knew his health condition and yet what did they do, some tried but if they had cried out to the world MUNA might have gotten help. We are just colleagues NO REAL FRIENDS! Rest In Peace MUNA.’

The Nollywood actor had been battling kidney problems and the sickness worsened yesterday afternoon, when he started vomiting blood. He was rushed to the hospital, where he was confirmed dead.

Is shea butter good for your skin? Must Read

When the weather outside is frightful, your skin is usually anything but delightful. In fact, it may be as dry as the air outside. And no one wants to experience a parched, flaky complexion that feels tight or itchy. While you may be tempted to slather on a heavy-duty moisturizer like natural shea butter, dermatologists warn that this cream isn't the best option.
 
Shea butter, which is extracted from the nut of the African shea tree, is a rich, cream-colored substance that has natural soothing and moisturizing properties. "The moisturizers present in shea butter are some of the same moisturizers that the sebaceous glands produce," says Jody Levine, M.D., clinical instructor of dermatology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City.

Shea butter is full of nutrients, including vitamin A, which has many healing properties and has been known to aid in treating blemishes, wrinkles, eczema and dermatitis, as well as burns and even stretch marks. Shea butter is also packed with antioxidants like vitamin E , as well as polyphenols and phytonutrients. These ingredients make shea butter an anti-inflammatory, which is why it works so well at moisturizing and soothing all types of skin (and can be found in skin and hair products galore).

And while pure shea butter is great for hydrating most of your skin (it's commonly used in body moisturizing creams), it should not be used on the face. "It's very rich and can make some people break out," explains Joshua Zeichner, M.D., director of cosmetic and clinical research at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City.

Instead of using the pure kind (usually labeled Class A), look for moisturizers that contain shea butter, like L'Occitane Ultra Rich Face Cream with Shea Butter, as well as several other moisturizing ingredients like glycerin. In general, it's a good idea to only use products targeted at facial skin on your face, as they are typically noncomedogenic, meaning they won't clog pores.

Fresh Cases Of Bird Flu In Kano And Lagos

The Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development on Thursday announced that there has been unusual high mortality in two poultry farms and live bird markets in Kano and Lagos States, Punch reports.



It said samples forwarded to the National Veterinary Research Institute tested positive for H5 strain of Avian Influenza Virus, otherwise known as bird flu, adding that confirmatory samples were sent to the International Reference Laboratory in Padova, Italy, for further characterisation. Avian influenza, known informally as Avian flu or bird flu, refers to influenza caused by viruses adapted to birds. Influenza, commonly known as ‘flu’ is an infectious disease caused by the influenza virus. The ministry, in a statement, noted that it had taken some measures in the affected sites to contain the reported outbreaks.

 According to the FMARD, it had quarantined the infected premises and placed restriction of movement of poultry and poultry products into and out of areas around infected premises.

It said, “All state directors of veterinary services and the Federal Capital Territory, Poultry Association of Nigeria and other stakeholders have been informed and advised to be on alert with intensified bio-security measures to avert possible spread of the disease to other states.

“The World Organisation for Animal Health and Inter-African Bureau for Animal Resource and development partners have been appropriately notified in compliance with our statutory international obligations.”

It added that it had ensured immediate reactivation of all animal health component of the Emergency Preparedness Plan on bird flu for Nigeria, adding that the conduct of surveillance activities around infected areas to determine the level of spread of the disease was being undertaken.

FMARD said, “All stakeholders in the poultry industry are urged to enhance hygienic practices (bio-security measures) which include, but not limited to, regular disinfection, proper disposal of dead carcasses and poultry products and timely reporting of mortalities in poultry and other bird species to veterinary authorities.

“We wish to assure the public that, given our experiences in handling previous outbreaks and with your full cooperation in the implementation of containment measures, we are determined to contain this disease again within a short time. We will keep you informed as events unfold.”

Kim's Kid Sister, Kylie Jenner Pregnant? New Photo Sparks Tyga Baby Rumors

Is Kylie Jenner pregnant with Tyga's baby? That's the latest rumor going around, and while it's likely just that - a rumor - she's in no hurry to squash it.

On the contrary. Not unlike the Kylie boob job rumours or the chatter about her fuller, plumper lips, she's more than content to let the rumors fester.

That or full on egg them on.
Kylie Jenner Pregnant Selfie?
Ever since the first stories surfaced about 17-year-old Kylie possibly dating Tyga, the 25-year-old rapper and family friend, the rumors intensified:
  • She's not just dating him, she's IN love with him!
  • She went on tour abroad with him (the legal age of consent is 18 here in the U.S., but in Europe, she's good to go)!
  • She's pregnant with Tyga's baby!
It's silly, mostly, but she hasn't denied it ... and then she posts what has to be ger first ever selfie wearing an over-sized jacket while covering her belly.
The caption, of course, was blank. All the better to let us speculate!

According to In Touch, which hilariously reports her pregnancy as fact, Kylie loves Tyga and sees a future with him," the source said. "She's happy."

She's over the moon that she's pregnant, supposedly.
Kris Jenner? Not so much. Momager is pissssed!

"She was screaming, telling Kylie she was going to kill her and that she never should have let this happened," the source said. "Kris tried to ban Kylie from dating Tyga."
"Kylie told her to mind her own business."


Is there any way she's pregnant!?
