Actress Monalisa Chinda Officially Broke Up With Lanre Nzeribe

Nollywood actress Monalisa Chinda and her partner Lanre Nzeribe have separated. The Nollywood actress has also walked away from their joint business venture.

Monalisa Chinda and business partner Lanre Nzeribe was rumored to be parted ways but recently the actress officially confirmed their separation. She has published her official statement confirming the rumours.

Official statement from Monalisa Chinda:

We regret to officially announce the resignation of Nollywood actress Monalisa Chinda from Monalisa Magazine, which also marks the end of her partnership with Mr. Lanre Nzeribe, due to irreconcilable professional differences. Over the past few months, both parties have made concerted efforts to retain their partnership, to no avail, which led to their mutual agreement that a separation would be the best course of action. Though she has, so far, committed so much time, energy and resources into the project, it is high time she moved on as she pursues renewed ethos to raise her standards of professionalism and focus on projects closer to her heart. Monalisa Chinda extends her sincere appreciation to the entire staff of the company for the great working experience during the time being. She wishes Mr. Nzeribe and the staff all the best in their future endeavours. She also wishes to express her profound gratitude to her wonderful fans for their unreserved support through the years. Thank you for your continued support as the Monalisa brand promises greater things to come.

Signed,
Management,

BIG DISGRACE: Two Popular Nollywood Actresses Fight Over Younger Lover [PHOTO]

Two Nollywood actresses recently tore at each other, kicking, biting and punching. But over what, you may ask? Well, over a younger actor who has J and I beginning his name and surname. The shameless actresses have F and A and S and O heralding theirs.  The battle ground was Winnis, an artistes’ rendezvous in Surulere, Lagos.  ''Ashawo''... ''boy friend snatcher''...'' shameless old fool'' and ''old cargo'' were some of the foul languages the duo used on each other before clothes were torn and injuries inflicted with their nails and via some crazy punches. 

S and O, to tell the truth, was the first to hook J and I. But from behind, F and A stepped in and almost succeeded in pocketing the young actor with money and gifts and attention. Somehow, information got to S and O and she waylaid F and A at Winnis. Taking her unawares and giving her what is known in local parlance as first attack, she was almost stripping her amidst heavy blows from left, right and centre when some of their colleagues came to her rescue. - S and O is from the Eastern part of the country, on the fair side and not too tall while F and A is from Benue State, slim-built, K-legged and multi-coloured, due to bleaching.  The latter had been acting before the former, although the former is more popular. She has also been luckier in terms of cornering some career-enhancing movie roles. Their ugly story and fight, meanwhile is now the talk-of-the-town among their colleagues and even non-colleagues. Particularly all those that were there as the crazy drama unfolded.  AGN, the umbrella body of all the actors, may soon look into the matter, and possibly penalize them.

ABUJA BLAST: How NIS Recruitment Survivors Escaped Death Twice.

Injured victims of the Abuja explosion will probably never forget their terrible experience. However, they are still happy to stay alive.

Oguike Charles and Abang Malview had a bad luck to go through both the deadly Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) recruitment stampede on March 15 and the explosion at the Nyanya bus park just a month later. But – miraculously – they both were fortunate to survive.
Oguike, who is receiving treatment in Asokoro General Hospital, shared his experience with This Day.
"Yesterday (Monday), when I got to Nyanya bus stop, where we used to enter el-Rufai buses, I bought my ticket and queued up at the entry point. Just then, there was an explosion," said the unemployed graduate.

"The explosion happened in such a way that I couldn’t recognise myself; I saw so many dead bodies flying. Then, I knew that apart from breathing, life is nothing. In fact, in my own case, this is the second time I have escaped death narrowly. I escaped the immigration stampede and now I have escaped death from bomb blast."

Just like Oguike, Abang, who also had survived the NIS stampede, could not believe he was alive after the Nyanya blast. Abang, 30, recalled how those who stood beside him at the bus station perished in the blast, while the force of the explosion lifted and threw him to the other side of the park.
"As God would have it, it just lifted me, threw me afar and I survived. All the people who were there with me where I bought the ticket perished. When I came back to life from the impact of the explosion, I stood up and saw the place was engulfed with fire. However, I was struggling to move as I had twisted my foot, so some people came and gave me aid; they dragged me away from the fire."
On April 14, a heavy explosion shook Nyanya bus park at the outskirts of Abuja at 6.30am, killing at least 75 people. Just a month earlier nearly 20 people died in a stampede during the NIS recruitment exercise in Abuja and seven other centres in the country.

Motivational speaker and the man born without limbs and his wife Kanae Miyahara  and son, Kiyoshi James Vujicic are seen here enjoying a Hawaiian holiday. God is indeed great, and there is nothing in life that is impossible…….Men with limbs, what’s your excuse????

Nick Vujicic was born with tetra-amelia syndrome, a rare disorder that is characterised by the absence of all four limbs.

After university, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce, Vujicic embarked on a motivational speaking tour, concentrating on teenage issues, disability, and his faith in God and how it helps his life.

Comedian Ali Baba and Wife Celebrate Their Wedding Anniversary – Photos

Yesterday was the 8th wedding anniversary of Comedian Ali Baba and his wife – they have been together for 16 years though! Ali Baba who says marriage has brought him happiness, and fulfillment.  Their marriage is  blessed with six children, including an adopted daughter.

In a recent chat with Vanguard, the couple excitedly shared their love story, marital journey, likes and dislikes, weaknesses etc.

Read Interview Below:

What marriage has done to me

Marriage has been good. It’s a stablising factor, it helps  one to plan properly. It also redefines your responsibility pattern. When you are a young man, you don’t have the kind of responsibility you should have as a man. For instance, if somebody says  ‘let’s go partying in Ghana,’ you are ready to storm Ghana without anything holding you back.

But when you get married, you will no longer take that kind of  decision on your own. It means that a lot of  things you do  will now have to be shared with your partner. Marriage also helps you not only to reorganise youself in respect of how you want to live your life, but, more  importantly, how you spend the money that you make in your business.

Meeting my wife
I met my wife after I had started my comedy business. She was my banker. I met her while I was banking with the now rested Citzens Bank.

Proposing to her
It took a long  time. For the kind of person that I am, particularly in my own kind of business and also, in her own kind of profession, she needed closure and a lot more to be offered to her. Given my kind of business, you don’t blame her if she’s  skeptical because of the exposure that comes with it. I think sincerity of purpose was one of those reasons that made her to accept my proposal.

How long I have been married
I have been married for eight years. But we have been together for over 16 years.

Courtship before marriage
Yes, courtship with a purpose, indicating that this is where I am going to, and it would be nice if you would go with me. Unlike when you say, ‘this is where I am’, and your partner says, ‘okay, I am thinking about it’. You will  be compelled to convince the person that you are actually going  in  that direction.

Secrets of the success story of my marriage
My wife has been the secret of our success story in marriage and God. She is the glue that keeps holding us together. She holds the home front, she also manages me. I am not the easiest  person to live with, considering the fact that I am an artiste and always on the move. She’s somebody who believes in firm planning. She likes to do everything according to plan. I am the kind of person that works on the fly and I think on the fly as well. But she finally began to make me to fall in line.  She’s a stabilising factor in my life.

Having admirers in marriage
You will continue to have admirers even after marriage. It’s natural that everybody gets attracted to what is good. And so, for anybody who becomes a celebrity, you would see people who would want to associate  with you, not because of your real person, but because of the popularity and cloud of celebrity that surrounds you. It’s a mix of all of that and you decide on how to handle the situation.

Love at first sight
It was a case of getting to know the kind of person she was, and knowing that she was a family oriented person. She’s also a very professional person, and it took a cousin of hers to introduce us to each other.

Your parents opposing the union
Not at all. My dad’s main concern is whether she’s somebody that ‘you are comfortable with, somebody who can support your dreams and make you grow as you would want to grow. If she’s, then  we will support you’.

Pitfalls in marriage
When respect is eroded and when the causes of happiness  are missing in marriage. If  your spouse is somebody who likes to be pampered and you do not have the means of pampering her or don’t  have the time to pamper her, it begins to get at her. So, in every relationship, once your partner begins to want something that is

supposed to make him or her happy, it systematically leads to break up of that relationship. But beyond this, issues of infidelity, jealousy, incompatibility and inreconcilable differences could also lead to break up of marriages. You need to know the kind of person you are going to spend the rest of your life with.

What I don’t like about her
There are a lot of things I don’t like about her just as there are lots of things I like about her. Sometimes, she pushes me too hard. She’s like telling me ‘you can do it, give it a trial’. Sometimes, I resist the pressure she mounts on me. But later, I discovered that after I have done it, it actually works out well. She sometimes feels  I am not where I am supposed to be yet. And the pressure is not about her, rather  it’s about where she feels you are supposed to be, and you are not. That’s positive. But there are some people who can’t take that.

Hanging out
We hang out a lot. She’s always a busy woman, but as much time as we have, we hang out. She dances very well, but she’s not the partying type.

Attraction
A lot of things attracted me to her. Apart from being a professional, she’s a stablising factor in my life. She has great sense of humour, she cooks well and she’s a very pretty woman. She understands the thespian in me, having read Theatre  Arts as her first degree. Above all, she normally sees where my dreams are going.

Advice for young couples
Getting to understand themselves. For a lot of young artistes, it’s not knowing who you really want to settle down with because fame has crept in. You find  it easy to settle down with somebody who wants fame to set in. But when you now become popular, you do not know who really loves you for who you are, or because of the fame. What I’m saying is that, as a celebrity, it pays if you get married  before you achieve fame. This is because, as soon as you become famous, a lot of distractions and camouflaging will come into play.

Break up of celebrity marriages
I don’t have issues with that. To  me, your happiness in marriage is key to every thing. That is not to say, for every flimsy excuse  that you have, you walk out of your marriage. But if the person you finally got married to, turns out to be somebody totally different  from somebody who you thought he was, or totally different from who you expected the person to be, you are in such a situation where the person is key to your happiness, you prefer to be away from  home in order to find happiness than to come back home and break down.

His wife speaks:

Our  relationship
He was a customer and I was his banker. I was drawn to him because he had the ability to simplify big issues and introduce laughter into difficult situations.

What I saw in Him
Although he is a comedian whose business is to make people laugh, he always believed that being funny is a serious business. There was that seriousness in him and determination to turn his laughter business into a major commercial success. As his banker, it was my duty to give him valuable financial advice along that line.

How I met him
I met him at work, he was a customer, I gave him the same kind of advice I gave to all the other customers. I counselled  them on how to properly plan their finances and generate wealth for themselves.

Attraction
I became interested in the person that he was. It was not about marrying Ali Baba, it was about marrying Atuyota as a person. I saw his qualities; the fact that he would make a good husband and father. In addition to that, his ability to make me laugh gave him an edge because I love to laugh.

Female admirers
At such times I walk away and just watch from afar. I cannot do anything about that. We go for events and people turn up and want to take pictures and all that. It comes with the territory and I give him that space because he needs it.

Toolz: ‘I remember being so insecure when I did my voice-test and not really thinking I was any good.’

Beat FM’s radio presenter, Toolz (Tolu Oniru) shared her inspiring story with fans on Instagram:

I’m not one for long epistles on Instagram, but sometimes I think about my journey and I am still truly baffled. God is so incredibly awesome!

5 years ago, I moved back to Lagos, not knowing what to expect, but willing to work very hard. The plan wasn’t to go into entertainment/media…the plan was to manage properties, but God had a different plan.

I remember being so insecure when I did my voice-test and not really thinking I was any
good. Then I got a call back offering me a position – My own show. I remember thinking – these people are having a laugh, I’ve never done any presenting in my whole life. Then my show on the Beat got popular, and bigger and greater things followed.

I’m eternally grateful to everyone involved in this journey. It’s not always easy, sometimes being in the public eye makes you want to stay in bed and sob all day, but by His grace I keep on keeping on. I get so emotional when people send me emails, saying I inspire them. I never ever thought it would be like this.

 I’ve come a long way and I’m proud of where I am today…I also know God has only just started!

 Moral of the story- never give up and remember that with God, anything is possible. #Grateful #Thankyou
