#NigeriaDecides: Aww, read Jimi Agbaje's emotional reaction to Ambode's win

Unlike Buhari who ran four times before eventually winning, Peoples Democratic Party candidate, Jimi Agbaje has declared his intention not to contest again for the position of governor in Lagos after the losing twice.

Agbaje who lost to All Progressives Congress (APC) Party candidate, Akinwunmi Ambode with a 152,206 vote margin spoke to ChannelsTV correspondent this evening after his opponent was declared winner.
According to the PDP candidate, Lagosians have made their choice and there’s no reason whatsoever to resort to violence.
“I tried once before, this is the second one. I’m not running again,” he said. “If I can’t be of service as governor, there are other ways of serving the state. I will find other ways of serving.”
Agbaje, 58, called Ambode some minutes before 6pm on Sunday evening to concede defeat to the APC candidate.

Comedian Princess goofs at event, Helen Paul saves the day

 

Helen Paul and Princess need no introduction as they have planted smiles on the faces of Nigerians through their comedy acts.

 

But it seems Princess is losing touch in her bid to make people laugh. At a recent comedy show in Lagos, Princess was certainly not in her elements as she failed to make her audience laugh. She was on stage for about seven minutes or more but was not able to crack the ribs of the crowd. Some of her jokes bothered on her broken marriage and other problems she has faced in life and this irritated her audience. People barely smiled let alone laugh at her ‘dry’ jokes.

Satuday Beats overheard an irritated guest saying, “I cannot believe I paid to come to listen to someone else’s problems. She is not even funny. If she were selling clothes, I am sure she would do better by now.”

Another bored guest who couldn’t hide her irritation said, “If Princess should just twerk (dance) on stage instead of cracking jokes, she would do better even though it would not be a wonderful sight for the eye based on her stature,” she said.

But just as Princess left, petite comedian, Helen Paul, climbed on the stage. The difference was very clear as she turned the hall around and cracked so many ribs with laughter.

Ironically, Helen spent less than five minutes on the stage, cracked just three jokes and managed to resurrect the already bored audience.

After her performance, a lady in the audience said, “Shebi this is another female comedian that has made us laugh. She did not even stay as long as Princess. Princess needs to improve herself.”

Seyi Shay breaks twitter, 'her meeting with GEJ' has got everyone talking!

!

It’s safe to say Seyi Shay is the most controversial female celebrity for 2015. We are only a few months gone into the year, yet she has made headlines a couple of times, sparking up controversies.
From her risque attire to the Channel O awards last December, to her controversial statement against Amber Rose, to having her hair shaved off....and so on!
This time around, she chose to wear a very short dress.

The singer who  was one of the many artistes that performed at the Meet The President youth event which went down on March 1st at Eko Hotel & Suites, belted out some of her top hits for President GEJ & the 5,000 young Nigerians in attendance, rocking a short strapless outfit which has got everyone talking.

But seriously, one would have thought that Seyi shay would settle for a longer dress since it’s not a concert.

Music video cause controversy after been seen as paedophilic

Sia has apologised to those offended by her video for Elastic Heart.

The clip which features 28-year-old actor Shia LaBeouf and 12-year-old Maddie Ziegler has been criticised for being potentially perverse - as it shows the pair performing an interpretive dance in a cage, while dressed in skin-coloured leotards - prompting the singer to clarify the meaning behind the video which she says depicts "warring" parts of her personality.

Taking to her official Twitter account, she wrote: "I anticipated some 'pedophelia!!!' Cries for this video. All I can say is Maddie and Shia are two of the only actors I felt could play"

The video - which has racked up over three million views in less than 24 hours - caused some social media users to slam the 39-year-old musician for creating the "disgusting" piece, with one user saying it "Smacks of child molestation #pervert #unacceptable #childabuse...Explain please!" while another fan simple wrote, "Sia's Elastic Heart video is disgusting."

However, as well as explaining what she hoped viewers would see when watching the video, the singer - who released her sixth studio album 1000 Forms of Fear last year - apologised to those who found it disturbing.

She tweeted:
