During an interview with Inspiration FM's Gloria Maduka post surgery, veteran music producer OJB Jezreel addressed controversy surrounding his donations, said celebs used it as competition and calls out Dbanj. Here's why he's unhappy with D'banj. During his fund raiser many months back, there were rumours that D'banj gave his former music producer N7m, a report that D'banj didn't deny. OJB says D'banj didn't give him a dime and was upset that he didn't try to set the record straight "The most disappointing one for me is D'banj because he passed through my hands, he was trained under my tutelage. That is offensive. I don't care if you're with Kanye West, you can't forget your root. I won't call anybody else's name but I will call his because it hurts. His own hurts very deep. And he never tried to reach out to me. It's not like we parted on fighting terms. He told me he had to go to London and he went. And wh...

Incredible: Cow With 5 Legs Who Grants Male Children To Pregnant Women[Photo]

A five-legged cow has been hailed a miracle because when pregnant women touch its fifth hoof they give birth to baby boys. Raj Pratap’s three-year-old male calf, called Raju, has become famous in Raipur, India, since a woman with four daughters touched the animal’s fifth hoof and begged for her next child to be a boy. When she gave birth to a twin boys in February this year, word soon spread that the calf’s fifth leg – a very rare condition which affects just one in every five million cows – was ‘lucky’. Since news got out about the fifth leg, Mr Pratap, a cattle herder, has been swamped by pregnant women who pay to touch the hoof with 30 women so far stumping up around 500 rupees, around £5, for the privilege. Amazingly, all 30 women have given birth to boys and Mr Pratap is so confident of his ‘miracle calf’ that he offers refunds if the baby born is a girl. This week, on Monday (Dec 23) the cow celebrated its 33rd baby boy after a woman who touched its ‘magical hoof’ ...

NNPC Fraud: CBN Governor Sanusi To Proceed On Post-Retirement Leave In March

SaharaReporters has learnt that Nigeria’s Central Bank Governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, will be forced to leave his post in March, 2014, two months before the formal expiration of his tenure.  Two sources at the Presidency and a source at the Central Bank told SaharaReporters that Mr. Sanusi has been ordered to proceed on a post-retirement leave in March. All three sources concluded that the early exit for the CBN henchman was occasioned by Mr. Sanusi’s recent leaked letter to President Goodluck Jonathan detailing the theft of close to $50 billion in oil proceeds by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).  Last week, Mr. Sanusi revised the figure of missing funds down to $12 billion, but the damage to the Jonathan Presidency is considered massive. SaharaReporters learnt that Mr. Jonathan has concluded plans to speedily replace the CBN governor whom the president believes set out to embarrass his government.  Source: Saharareportrs

Angry Worshippers Walk Out On Pastor In Port Harcourt

Members of St. Matthew’s Anglican Church, Nkpogu, in Port Harcourt City Local Government Area of Rivers State, yesterday got an unusual Christmas gift, as Archbishop of Niger Delta, Bishop Kattey, was angry with them for preventing the priest in charge of the parish from conducting service twice. Bishop Kattey’s anger came as members of the church walked out on the Rector in-charge of the church, Venerable Chimela Samuel. Members of the church had called for the removal of the priest, accusing him of high handedness, arrogance and introduction of doctrines not practised by the church. They also alleged that Bishop Ignatius had pronounced a curse on the protesting members. On arrival at the church at about 9am, service was going on. It was gathered that the members had, since 7am, commenced service without Venerable Samuel officiating, but when he arrived the worshipper staged a walk out. One of the elders, who pleaded anonymity, told our reporter that the priest and his pastoral te...

One of Nigeria's hairiest women, Queen Okafor, tells her story [photos]

Queen Okafor is a unique woman with unique features. She has a rare endowment from nature. Looking at her, one would think she is a man, but she is a full blooded woman.  Queen, as her name suggests, has become a celebrity of sort whenever she steps out in public as the people stare at her in amazement.    Queen’s attraction is an abundance of hairs all over her body especially in the upper region- face, hands, chests etc. Although she was born without much hair on her body, she gradually began sprouting them at the age of 21 years. Today, at 26, Queen has done many things humanly possible to stop the abnormal growth, but to no avail. Narrating her experience, Queen said she started noticing the hair at unusual places at the age of 21.   When this reporter met Queen in a bus going to Oshodi from Mile 2, in Lagos some months ago, passengers were starring at her embarrassingly. As the lady tried to hide her face, more eyes were on her, thus...

The actress, in this interview talks about her marriage of 11years, her acting career and other issues.  WHAT are you working on currently?  I am working on a new project and I am also studying now. The script is not ready though.You took a break from the scene for a very long time. What was your reason?I was pregnant and I had to go and have my baby, and take care of him. I had to take a break to devote time to my family at that time. I came back in 2008 to release my movie Temi Yemi. But your fans didn’t get to see you on screen again, until late last year.

People kept saying that they have not been seeing me in movies, so I said to myself, let me work round the clock th...
