Read what "The Times" wrote about Tiwa Savage and her 'Wanted' video

International website, The Times, a few hours ago published a report on Tiwa Savage and it's on their front page!
Read the report below:

Nigerian pop star Tiwa Savage has copped lots of flak of late - and been called all sorts of names - for her latest, racy, music video.

But when she was named female artist of the year at Saturday's MTV Africa Music Awards, in Durban, she made a point of bringing out the one person who has supported her even when the video for Wanted (and Love Me, Love Me) attracted the disapproval of TV broadcasters and parents - her husband, Tunji Balogun.


She spoke to The Times about the backlash against her, and the slut-shaming of other international female pop stars such as Rihanna, Miley Cyrus and Beyoncé.

"[Being sexual] is something we're comfortable with behind closed doors but very uncomfortable with in public," she said. "But, fortunately, as artists we have the platform to do things that a lot of people might not be able to do. I felt like I was at a stage in my life at which I was very comfortable in my skin.
"I'd worked on my body and I wanted to do a video that was pushing the envelope - that would have people talking and open up a conversation."

Savage was recently the subject of an open letter by a Nigerian housewife, who advised her "not to give in to the pressure of the 'sex sells' attitude in the music industry", and not to "add to the factors contributing to societal decadence", and even "I didn't want to say this, but a husband who truly loves you is supposed to protect his wares and not make you do whatever to stay in the public eye".

In the video she writhes and gyrates suggestively in a skin-toned onesie and gold high heels like Kelly Rowland in Lay It On Me.
Savage said her video was clearly rated for people over 18.

"I feel that while being a role model I also need to explore my life as a woman and target the adult market.
"There are a lot of people who love the video and are inspired. You learn you can't please everyone, so you do what feels right at the time."
She said she wasn't surprised that some broadcasters had censored the video.

"A lot of times you look at an artist and you think what they do on stage is their lifestyle, but just because we portray a certain thing on stage doesn't mean when we get off the stage we sleep with every guy we see," she said.
"It's just a persona. I don't think anyone can look at my life and see any scandal.
"That's what parents should be teaching their children. Whether Tiwa Savage does it or not, they will have access to certain things that are bad, so we need to teach them how to decide between good and bad."

It's Over! Jennifer Lopez' s boy toy moves out of her LA Mansion as she lets him keep all expensive gifts

After the announcement of their split last week,27 year old Casper Smart has moved  his belongings out of 44 year old,Jennifer Lopez's house. Despite allegations he cheated with a transsexual,it is reported the split had nothing to do with that because they had broken up for a while..He is said to be upset about the split and loves her and her kids.

Despite all, he has some comfort in the fact that, JLo who is worth $300M is letting him keep all of the expensive gifts she bought him in their two year relationship....According to TMZ

Casper gets to keep 2 motorcycles, a jeep and a Dodge Ram truck.Pretty sweet so far, but that's where it ends.  Casper's days tooling around L.A. in that white Bentley are over.  Ditto flying private jets, the fancy Hamptons mansion and the Hidden Hills estate.The toughest change for Casper -- he won't be sitting front row during Paris Fashion Week with Kanye.And there's this.  Our sources say Jennifer won't be doling out any money for Casper to land on his feet, but we're told that's the way he wants it.  As it was put to us, "He's too much of a man" and hasn't asked for anything.

He was spotted yesterday riding the Kawasaki bike she bought him.For those who don't know, he was her back up dancer when they fell inlove.

"I can't date a poor man,Money & Love go together"-Actress Naomi Emmanuel

These days, men need to sit up because more ladies are moving from "handsome and caring" to men who are rich....Checkout excerpts from an interview by Sun with fast rising actress,Naomi Emmanuel also known as Nurse Titi in Clinic Matters .....

What kind of guy are you looking out for?

My ideal man should of course be handsome, tall, dark, God fearing, caring, loving, and rich enough to take good care of me.

Does that mean that average guys like us cannot come for you?

I have not said so. What I mean is that you must be rich enough to take care of me. Now that does not mean you must have excess money. If you are comfortable, at least, that’s good enough.

Why can’t you date an average guy?

It’s because it’s not just possible. How do I maintain myself? If I were not looking good would you come close to me?

Are you trying to say that it takes money to maintain love?

No, it does not but at least, you should be up and doing because money and love go together.

So money must be involved?

Yes.

So if God decides to give you someone that is not as rich as your expectations, what would happen?

God cannot give me what is not my heart’s desire.

Kefee diagnosed with pregnacy induced high blood pressure, needs miracle to survive — Doctor

Six-month pregnant Kefee is suffering from a pregnancy induced blood pressure -  pre-eclampsia.

Doctors say the chance of Kefee getting out of coma is slim as her situation not only requires prayers for survival, but also a miracle. 

A close source who claimed anonymity toldTribune during the phone conversation “Kefee surely did not know that she had a high blood pressure before she embarked on the long trip and suddenly went into coma in the air. That she is pregnant has made her situation dicey, so she will need a miracle to survive, a doctor told me."

A medical doctor in Nigeria, Dr Adeyefa, shedding more light on Kefee’s condition, said

“Kefee is in a precarious situation because of the six months pregnancy. If the foetus had been nine months, the doctors would have removed the baby and saved the mother and child. As it is now, not only will the baby not survive because the carrier is in coma, Kefee may also lose her life from further complications. The chances of the mother surviving is narrow, while the kid has a narrower chance. I urge Nigerians to pray for her for a miracle because that is what she really needs,” he added.

Kefee had embarked on a 14-hour flight to Chicago for an event but went into coma, forcing the plane to land in Los Angeles so that she could be urgently attended to.

Her husband,Teddy Don-Momoh, confirmed the downward turn in her health by calling for prayers for her from Nigerians.

“We just need prayers now. She needs our prayers because there is nothing God can not do. Prayer is the key.” He wrote in a statement.

Kefee you will come out strong in Jesus name (please say a word of prayer in church today), amen!

Hired Asassins invade Daniel Ademinokan's home to kill Stella Damasus

In the early hours of May 31, about 12 heavily armed men stormed the Abuja home of Ademinokan, where Stella Damasus and her two daughters were said to have been living before they relocated to the United States with Ademinokan.


According to The Nation, Ademinokan’s younger brother, who just returned to Nigeria, and his mother were the only persons in the house on the fateful day.
It was gathered that the attackers insisted on getting Stella’s recent contact in the US, including her address and phone number, without success.
The source said: “The men kept yelling at Daniel’s brother. They were saying, ‘Your brother and his wife think they can just open their mouths and say anything they like about the government, abi?’”
The assailant, according to the source, didn’t take anything item away from the house because of the pathetic condition of Ademinokan’s mother, who is laid up with a stroke.
Stella is known for actively speaking against domestic violence as well as her advocacy for sanity during the ‘Child Not Bride’ campaign. 
It would be recalled that, at the height of the campaign, she released a very daring video on YouTube, calling a particular serving Senator and his supporters paedophiles.
A few weeks ago, after the abduction of over 200 girls from Chibok, Stella released another video addressing the government and accusing it of not asking for help from foreign allies.
She is not bothered with the threats though, a few days ago she tweeted  “No form of political bullying or intimidation will work! You can’t shut me up! I will stand and speak the truth, regardless of your tactics. "
As if that was not enough, she followed up with another tweet: “That is what Nigeria is known for; you say the truth…they try to silence you! It will not work on Stella Damasus. I cannot be intimidated.”
