Why I Started Record Label:Mikel Obi

'Apart from football, music is another thing I had passion for while I was growing up in Jos. I have so much emotional attachment to music. It lifts my soul and makes me happy. The arrival of MMM Records (Matured Money Minds) has gone a long way to show the deep love I have for music. I want to contribute my little quota to the growth of the music industry in Nigeria. I'm a good song writer and singer. If I wasn't a footballer, I would have done well as a singer or a disc jockey (DJ)' - Mikel Obi

Bishop Oyedepo Accuaws Of Exploiting British Worshipers

This is a story published by UK Daily Mail this morning. They are accusing Bishop Oyedepo's Winners Chapel of exploiting their worshipers and receiving over £16 million in donations from them. See it below...

A church run by a controversial multi-millionaire African preacher has been accused of ‘cynical exploitation’ after its British branch received £16.7 million in donations from followers who were told that God would give them riches in return.

Followers are ferried in double-decker shuttle buses to the church, handed slips inviting them to make debit card payments, and are even told obeying the ministry’s teachings will make them immune from illness.

Today’s Mail on Sunday revelations about the Winners’ Chapel movement have prompted the Charity Commission to review the charitable status  of the church – one of the fastest-growing in the UK.

KWAM1 Opens Up About His Marraige To Ex Wife`s Niece

I told you guys a few days ago that KWAM1 is married to and expecting a baby with his ex-wife's niece, Titi Masha (couple pictured above). Well, he says the Masha family is so big that his ex-wife might not even know her niece, Titi. What he told reporters below...

Salewa (his ex-wife) who is being spoken about here remarried some 20 years ago and she is still married, so to claim that I married cousins, yes they might be on the long run but anyone knows that the Masha Eshilokun family is such a large family in Lagos. Many of them do not even know themselves' K1 said

And he also addressed the issue of him snatching Titi Masha from a close friend of his, Gbenga Islander.

I have dated many women in my life who are today legally married, how many of them will I call and say, I have dated your wife before? What happens to such? Do we crucify a woman for having dated someone before? Do we say because a woman is married before she cant remarry like we all do or do we say because I’m a star I don't have feelings or am not human? We all know that Fela was once married to 27 women at once in this country...I’m only married to two!'

The First Lady who came back into the country today from her 2-months medical trip has denied undergoing cosmetic surgery in Germany. When asked by reporters at the airport tarmac if that was what she went to Germany for, Patience Jonathan vehemently denied it. I listened and even recorded her answer on STV 10 0'clock news and below are her exact words

God knows I have never been to that hospital. I don't even know where that hospital is. I do not have terminal illness, or rather any cosmetic surgery, more or less tummy-tuck. My husband loves me who I am and I am pleased with how God created me. I cannot add but the same time I will use this opportunity to thank my beloved husband and my children and my staff in general and all Nigerians. The men on the street for standing behind me during my trial time. But God has given me a second chance to come and work with the women of Nigeria, the children and the less privileged and the needy. I have come to serve Nigerians
