Toni Payne insists she never cheated on her ex-husband 9ice, who she split up with in 2010.Toni Payne has apparently revisited the most controversial time of her life - her 2010 separation between her and former husband 9ice.

While ranting about reactions to a recent comment she made about relationships on Twitter, the publicist, spoken word artist and blogger recalled her broken relationship with 9ice, insisting that she "never cheated on my ex hubby.""I don dey talk long but to the initial point i wish to address, to those who still believe I cheated on my ex. I am sorry to disappoint you, I NEVER cheated on my ex hubby. Its not who I am, it will never be who I am. Tell yourself 1 million times, Toni Payne cheated, it will never make it true," she wrote in a post on her blog.

He has NEVER for once opened his mouth to accuse me of sleeping with anyone he knows."Toni Payne blamed the media for trying to skew stories and not calling to confirm if the then rumoured story was true of false."The same media controlling the remote to say I think cheating is ok, are the same who controlled the remote back then to say his song was about me.

Anti-gay law: Minister decries Western countries double standards


The Nigeria's Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs, Prof. Viola Onwuliri, has accused Western countries of double standards over a law banning same-sex marriages.

President Goodluck Jonathan had recently signed a law banning same-sex marriages and shows of same-sex public affection.Speaking to the News Agency of Nigeria in Addis Ababa on the sidelines of the just concluded AU summit, Onwuliri said Jonathan signed the law in the interest of Nigerians and democracy.

"What happened in Nigeria is democracy in action and it will really be unfortunate that people who are talking about democracy when they now see democracy work, they want us to go against democracy."

Is democracy for pick and choose? When it suites them they want us to do good governance and democracy, but when it does not suit them they want us to go against the democracy that has been put in place."The National Assembly took a decision, the National Assembly is the face of democracy in Nigeria, they are the representative of the people, they form the voice of the people and they have spoken,’’ she said.

The EU, Canada and the U.S. had criticised the law, saying it negated the fundamental human rights of individuals enshrined in the Nigeria constitution.

On the situation in South Sudan and the Central African Republic, the minister said Nigeria strongly backed AU and regional groups’ role in demanding the return of peace and stability in the regions."Nigeria has taken a position on the need for peaceful resolutions in conflict situations in Africa, safety of lives and property and ensuring that women and children are safe in conflict areas,’’ she said.

The minister acknowledged that there had been demands for Nigeria to contribute troops to the African- led International Mission (MISCA) in the Central African Republic (CAR)."The decision (to deploy troops to CAR) is for the president and commander-in-chief, but it's not something new to us because Nigeria has been involved in peacekeeping since the 1960s.’’

Around 5 500 AU troops taking part in the MISCA peacekeeping mission have been joined by 1 600 French soldiers in the CAR.In November, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, told the UN Security Council that a UN force of up to 9,000 troops and 1,700 police could be needed in CAR.NAN reports that at the just concluded 22nd Ordinary Session of the AU in Ethiopia, Nigeria pledged 1.5million dollars to support MISCA.Nigeria also donated two million dollars to Africa Solidarity Initiative, an AU initiative that supports reconstruction and development in Africa countries emerging from conflict.

Genevieve Nnaji & Omotola Jalade Are Currently Jobless' - Obi Emelonye



Forget the Genevieve - Etisalat deal and the new property Omotola just acquired on Bank Anthony road in Ikeja, the two actresses are definitely not smiling as very few acting opportunities have come their way.

According to Obi Emelonye, producer and director of Mirror Boy and Last Flight to Abuja this development is not due to the fault of the actresses rather, they have become victims of their own success.

In an exclusive chat with TheNollywoodReporter.com, Emelonye said:"Genevieve and Omotola are the two biggest actresses we have in Nollywood, they cannot afford to charge less than their status and that is where the problem comes in. Their charges are probably above what the industry can afford. Their charges are like half of the entire production budget so which producer can afford that?"

Continuing, he said:"What they can do now as it is with other big stars all over the world, is that they should begin to fund their own productions and act in them, they can act whatever role will enhance their brand, they need to start a production company now, and push themselves because they need to remain relevant and must not be seen as jobless.If corporate bodies perceive them as jobless they won't want to do business with them, they might even price them cheap."

It will be recalled that the two acts have not been frequent in movies and the last one Genevieve did, Dr. Bello was a flop at the box office. She was also sparingly used in Half of a Yellow Sun.

Omotola has not done any major film in recent times. Her last major movie was Last Flight to Abuja about two years ago. She was however named one of the most influential people in the world by Time Magazine, a mention that made her the most talked about celebrity from Nollywood.
