Goldie broke down in tears after an intense heart to heart session with Prezzo . The Nigerian celeb was screaming, crying and vomiting when Maneta heard her cries and rushed into the girls' room to find a devastated Goldie crouched on the floor.
After Maneta called out for help, Zainab
came rushing in too and the two tried to help her off the floor but
Goldie told them off. She uttered “I am ok, I am ok. Just get out of
here,” while gasping for air and struggling to breathe.
The
singers frantic state of mind was spurred on by the rude awakening she
got moments before from Prezzo about the status of their relationship.
The poor woman could not hide her sheer disbelieve when the Kenyan
coldly told her that they were "just good friends".
She sat on
his bed with tears streaming down her face repeating over and over again
"just good friends, just good friends,"while shaking her head.
The
latest installment of drama in the Prezzo/Goldie saga started over a
disagreement about cigarettes which led to the rapper feeling
disrespected. He gave her a harsh warning: “Don’t mistake my kindness
for weakness. I am not weak.” Goldie begged repeatedly for his
forgiveness but Prezzo remained unresponsive even as she ran out to go
cry in her room.
Meanwhile in the lounge the Upville ladies gave their two cents on the situation. Maneta and Barbz
implied that Goldie had herself to blame for Prezzo being harsh to her
because she ignored him for most of today after she has let him get used
to being cooked for and taken care off over the past few weeks.
What to do you make of the Prezzo/Goldie saga, will their relationship survive after this?
With The Federal Government's announcement yesterday that there would be no going back on the decision to rename University of Lagos as Moshood Abiola University, what's next for the students and stakeholders of the Institution?
The Federal Government through the Minister of Information, Labaran Maku has said that it will not revert its decision of renaming University of Lagos after Chief M.K.O Abiola.
Despite protests from the students and staff of the institution, Maku
said there would be no going back on the decision to rename University
of Lagos as Moshood Abiola University in honour of the late winner of the June 12, 1993 presidential election.
Addressing State House correspondents after the weekly Federal
Executive Council meeting in Abuja yesterday, the Minister said the
President’s proclamation was in response to the outcry of concerned
Nigerians who have been clamoring for the immortalization of late
Abiola. He called on Nigerians not to allow the protests by some
students to overshadow the significance of the president’s decision to
immortalize Abiola.
“Yes sometimes government decisions get reactions from the
populace, we do not as an administration see this as a disapproval. We
just see it as a normal way in every democracy that when you make major
decisions definitely sometimes you have public reaction but we should
not allow the protest to overshadow the national significance of what
Mr. President has done.”
He added that the decision has been long overdue and that today,
Abiola can turn in his grave and say this nation for whom I made a
supreme sacrifice for political development has recognized my
contributions.
“It is our hope that reason will prevail and that the decision to
honor one of our nations’s icons and heroes will be appreciated by all
Nigerians including our youths and students who are the future leaders
of this country” he said.
With this hard held stance of the Federal Government against the
reversal of the President’s decision, it is wondered whether the
protests are not just in vain.
The University was shut down yesterday following protests by
students, staff and alumni of the institution. They blocked major roads
in Lagos including the Third Mainland Bridge, calling on the Federal
Government to reverse the announcement made by President Goodluck
Jonathan on Democracy Day. Their resistance, along with that of other
individuals and groups in the country have emphasized that most
Nigerians are not in agreement with the President’s announcement.
What options do the students and stakeholders of University of Lagos
then have? Do they just accept the new name or continue fighting against
the name change? Are there any legal means they can use to oppose the
name change? What next?
Please share your thoughts.

To those of you who never believed the story of Uche's secret wedding in America last week, well here is a photo of Uche Jombo and her Hubby Kenney Rodriguez to clear your doubts.
They look cute together!!
A day after his social media company went public, Facebook co-founder and chief executive Mark Zuckerberg married his long-time girlfriend Priscilla Chan, 27, on Saturday May 19th, in a small ceremony at his home in Palo Alto, California.
Zuckerberg celebrated his 28th birthday on Monday which happens to be the day Priscilla Chan graduated from medical school at the University of California, San Francisco.
Grammy-winning disco legend Donna Summer died Thursday after a battle
with cancer, aged 63, the TMZ celebrity news website reported.
The singer, who shot to fame in the 1970s with hits including “Hot
Stuff” and “Bad Girls,” before songs like “She Works Hard for the Money”
in the 1980s, died in Florida.
May her soul Rest In Peace
Here is the fifth edition of Exquisite Magazine. This month series features BBA All Star winner, Uti Nwachukwu and the Amplified Karen Igho who made us watch every episode of BBA6 on its front page.
Uti speaks exclusively to Exquisite Magazine about his journey from the
BBA house, how how he invested the money he won and his thoughts about
the movie “True Citizen”, which he stars in.
Karen also spoke to Exquisite Magazine about her huge paycheck and how she is
spending it wisely. She also calls her mother – onimo in her local
dialect, her role model.
I say congratulations to Miss World 2001 and celebrity model , Agbani Darego who just graduated from New York University with a major in Psychology.
New York University was also where supermodel Oluchi graduated from two years ago.
According to Joy Bewaji, a writer for Genevieve Magazine,
Chris Attoh,
Peter (Psquare), Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Lynxxx, Flava N’abania are the 5 top celebrity men women lust after, even though most of my favorites hotties are not included on this list, I agreed with her to some extent, I mean these guys are gorgeous, smart, charismatic and most importantly sexy.
In no particular other, Ladies and Gentle men your top 5:
1. Chris Attoh
Chris
Attoh was created on a Sunday! God took his time- moulded his nose,
shaped his lips, put a sexy blush to his skin, and voila! One of the
most handsome creatures on the face of the earth was made! Chris has had
his hands in the entertainment pie for a while. He has worked as an OAP
in Ghana’s Groove FM and Choice FM, and also on “Show Time” a TV show
in Ghana. But we all know him and fell in love with him as a cast on
Tinsel.
Stella Amaechi: “Chris is a stunner. There are not too many guys
blessed with such hotness. He obviously chose the right path in his
career. His looks will make any woman turn purple in embarrassment”
2. Peter (Psquare):
One-half
of the P-square sensation is a sex symbol! Peter has a body sculpted
like a god. He takes his time to look good, and it shows anytime he
takes off his shirt- which he does quite often. Being so ridiculously
sexy is a lot of hard work, and the ladies appreciate it!
Nneka Obi: Peter is just an amazing piece of work. There’s no
better way to say it- he is hot, and he gets all the right poses in his
pictures to show just how delicious his body is. And to top that, he is
rich. A magical combination that works everytime!
3. Ebuka Obi-Uchendu:
Ebuka
is a complete package of looks, style, brains, and finesse. The dude
can be anything he wishes to be. He is vast in politics, sound in
entertainment, and a lawyer, a red-carpet delight, cerebral and
sharp-witted. It’s a package that comes one in a hundred men! And
there’s also that sense of modesty that makes him oh-so sexy! Ebuka is
the dude you want to wake up next to; every woman wants a smart guy not
too far away from her!
ToluAdeolu: The good thing about Ebuka is that he has evolved.
Even his writing has evolved. I used to read his articles way back, and I
read the ones now and it is so mature. It is clear that the young man
takes himself seriously, and I find that a huge turn-on. A smart guy
with a good sense of dressing is the sexiest thing ever!
4. Lynxxx:
If
Lynxxx didn’t make it to the top 5, it’ll be a crime. He is the epitome
of the perfect male form. A very good looking guy- the kind of guy that
you think his looks is just enough, why does he need to be brainy or
talented? Now that is what makes Lynxxx an exception, his talent is just
as delightful as his appearance.
Juliet Edet: Lynxxx is the kind of hotness best-selling magazines
is made of! There’s no flaw to his appearance. From top to bottom he
has everything in the right size. He’s every woman’s fantasy.
5. Flava N’abania:
Have
you seen Flava bare-chested? Is it not the most gorgeous display ever?
Flava’s music is embellished with the musician’s well-kept body- lithe,
slim, with muscle contours and outlines in all the right places. He is
our newest crush and we just had to show him off! His music and his
beautiful abs is worth more than silver and gold.
Ijeoma Ogbu: Flava was a surprise, really. I didn’t expect he
would look so good after listening to his music- which is good by the
way; I just thought he’d look like a Timaya. But when I watched his
video, I became a fan instantly. The guy looks really chew-able!
