My Vírginity, Don Jazzy and Iyanya ––Tonto Dikeh Speaks


She was described as the most controversial actress in Nollywood by the host of Rubbin Minds on Channels TV, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, yet she remained calm unlike the Tonto Dikeh many know. And she took her time to address all the questions frantícally. Very interesting!
 
Asked if she actually snatched Iyanya from Yvonne Nelson, Tonto said:
“When I hear people say I have dated Iyanya before, I find that funny. I mean, this is someone I have only met once or twice. I am a fan of his music just the same way he is a also a fan, but If I don’t even know him personally, how do I date him? Why they say these things, it is because they know I don’t respond to these things.”
On why she revealed her escape with Don Jazzy on the social media, Tonto said there is no affair between she and Don Jazzy, but they are cool. She also denied the tweet that she lost her vírginity to him.
 
She however admitted that she is bleaching her skin but said she is doing it "right way".

Nollywood Stars Shun Bob Manuel Udokwu Mother's Burial


Nollywood actor Bob Manuel Udokwu laid his mother to rest on Friday, August 30, 2013 and some have expressed their disappointment at the absence of other nollywood stars at the event.
According to eyewitness, the family and members of the community from which the actor turned politicians hails expected to see some of the stars that usually grace their screens, only to be disappointed as Nollywood actors and reps were hardly represented at the burial.
"Everybody was hoping for a large turnout of Nollywood stars, the likes of Genevieve Nnaji, Rita Dominic and so on, but we were all disappointed that only the not so popular actors turned up for the burial and that was very sad and disappointing’ Charles Inojie, Ejikeh Metuselah and Steve Eboh are a few of the Nollywood actors that made it to the burial, which took place in Nkwelle-Ogidi, Anambra State".
Some have said that Bob has never attended any event by his colleagues, that He has a way of avoiding other people's events and this was more like a pay back time for him. Some attributed it to arrogance, while others said said it is his stingy nature.

Eddie Murphy Announces Collaboration Plan With Snoop Lion


The 52-year-old, who became popular following for his roles in The Nutty Professor and the Beverly Hills Cop franchise, flirted with music back in the eighties and has dusted off his microphone ahead of his latest foray In the album, which will have a smooth reggae track, the pair croon about the world’s troubles and life in Zion, a place defined in scriptural texts, more specifically in Rastafari faith, where the holy dwell and God has His throne. 
 
Murphy sings and plays guitar on the track and Snoop also contributes a verse to the reggae song. Murphy released single Party All the Time in the late eighties and a 1993 album, Love’s Alright, featuring Michael Jackson on one track. His first and biggest hit by a wide margin is “Party All the Time” (1985), written with Rick James. The song, from his first album How Could It Be, was a commercial success, reaching No. 2 on the Hot 100.
 
He was also the subject of plenty of mockery for his first two albums, but his biggest failure was 1993’s psychedelic Love’s Alright, which featured covers of U2 (“One”), the Beatles (“Good Day Sunshine”), and more, plus an all-star single for charity. The official music video for Red Light will be released September 9.

I’m Pregnant for My Mother’s New Husband ––Big Girl Opens Up



Nancy’s father died in a ghastly motor accident when she was barely two months old. His photographs were always with her but she never knew him. She prodded her mother endlessly to tell her stories about her father and was never tired hearing the same thing over and again.

Anytime she saw her friends with their fathers, she was sad and longed for that person she could refer to as a father. Along the line, she gained admission into a polytechnic to study accountancy.

As a first year diploma student of accountancy:
She became really close to Ahmed, a final year HND student of the same department. They were from the same tribe and spoke the same language. Being a fresher who was largely ignorant about her surroundings and the way things worked, she found succour in him, who was only too glad to provide a shoulder for her to lean on.

While Nancy saw in him a guardian, Ahmed saw in her, a prey he couldn’t wait to feast on. He slept with her and deceived her into thinking that he cared very much about her.

Shortly before he graduated, he pledged his undying love for her and she believed him. Unfortunately, whatever existed between them both ended as soon as he left. Try as she could, nothing could be done about restoring their relationship. He had moved on with another woman.

She picked up the pieces of her life and moved on. Not too long after, she met Lawrence, an older student in the same polytechnic.

He was contented remaining her very good friend, offering her succour and advice when needed but Nancy wanted more. She loved his disposition and wanted him for keeps. With time, she won him over and like her previous relationship, it ended same way.

Again, she moved on. By the time she began making plans to start her internship; her mother had found love with a well-known business man, Igwe Albert, who married her as his second wife.

Naturally, Nancy became his step daughter. Igwe ensured that his new wife was happy—he set her up in business, got her a good apartment and a car. He also ensured that his step daughter lacked nothing.

He even urged her to have her internship in the accounts department of his company. Seeing how well she did her job and even helping to reduce his overhead cost, he came to appreciate her and showered her with praises and gifts.

It soon got to a point where she stayed back after most of the workers have closed for the day, balancing the books. On such occasions, Igwe would stay back to keep her company and related with her the way a father would with a daughter.

Nancy appreciated this kind gesture and quickly warmed up to him. She was glad to have found a real father figure at last!

One evening, when they were relating as usual, their discussion soon became raunchy and they had sex in the office! She felt bad that she had betrayed her mother.

“I don’t want you to tell your mother about what happened tonight,” Igwe said and signed a cheque of N2m in her name. She didn’t believe he could be this generous and thought this could be the last intimate moment they would share together.

But it wasn’t. Igwe kept coming for her and so were the gifts and money. Her initial fear was erased. Nancy relaxed and went full throttle with him. Not even the mother suspected anything because she believed her husband was taking care of her daughter.

Three months after, she became pregnant and her mother and the first wife soon found out. But Nancy refused an abortion.

“Mother, do you remember what the prophet you took me to when I was 18 years old said?” Nancy asked her mother. Her mother had taken her to a prophet for prayers when she suffered from a strange ailment and medical help failed. Nancy was prayed for and she got better. The prophet warned her mother that the girl must never have an abortion, if she did, she would die!

“So, you are going to keep the pregnancy and marry my husband?” her mother said despitefully.

“Nancy, the prophecy was five years ago and it was because of your illness. You must go for an abortion.”

Surprisingly, even Igwe sits on the fence about it and told mother and daughter to take the decision they felt was the best for them.

But both Nancy’s mother and his first wife are set for battle. They asked that the pregnancy be terminated.

My Man Is Lucky, He Met Me A Vírgin ––Singer Nikki Laoye


Rising singer and positive role model to many ladies, Nikki Laoye has finally opened up on the issues relating to her vírginity and why she decided to keep it for just one man. She said it makes her man feel special and he knows he is lucky to be the only one who has "enter the place".

Asked why she kept it for that long and how she was able to manage, Nikki Laoye said:
“This issue caused a lot of noise on the Internet, because a lot of people carried it with sarcasm. Some people thought I was trying to feel holier-than-thou. The truth is that it was part of my project. If I was really going to be a model to people, I had to let it show in my life. I can boldly stand to tell someone now that 'you can wait till you are married'.
 
In a chat with Vine Magazine, Nikki Laoye took time to explain how ladies can hold on to their thing till their wedding night, that is if they want to. *wink*
 
"I’m not telling them that ‘you will not have temptations’. You will! We are human beings, we have feelings. You will want to be kissed and touched but the truth is that we can control it.

"Séx is a huge responsibility, especially for the woman. Understand that you are a séxual being, you have passion. It’s good, it’s great, but keep it. Ever since I was young I had always told God that I was going to keep myself till my marriage. It’s just a good thing and it’s a good thing to give your husband. He will know that you are just for him.”

Being Gay Is Natural - Yemisi Ilesanmi, Coordinator Of The Nigerian Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transsexual, LGBT Community

Coordinator of the Nigerian Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transsexual, LGBT community, Yemisi Ilesanmi, in this interview with TELL Magazine, talks about homosexual relationship and that LGBTs should be treated with respect because being gay is not criminal.
photo
Read the opinions and views of the Bisexual young woman below:
Excerpts:
On what Nigerians need to know about homosexuality:
The very first thing we need to understand is that homosexuality, bisexuality, asexuality are all as natural as heterosexuality. Our sexual orientation differs; we are born with an innate ability to be emotionally or sexually attracted or not be sexually or emotionally attracted to same sex or opposite sex. Unfortunately, many African societies do not provide enabling environments to discuss sexual orientation. Sexual orientation does not harm anyone. A person who is attracted to opposite sex does not harm anyone so far it is a consensual adult relationship. A homosexual who is attracted to the same sex does not harm anybody so far it is a consensual adult relationship. A Bisexual or Pansexual who can be attracted to all sexes harms no one so far it is an adult consensual relationship. Even an Asexual who is not sexually attracted to any gender harms no one. We are all different, and non-harmful lifestyle of adults should not be criminalised.
On if Nigerians will ever accept homosexuality:
Whether Nigerians accept it or not, LGBT rights are recognised human rights. Unless, you can prove that Lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transsexuals are not human beings, well, you have no reason to deny them their fundamental human rights. Unfortunately many Nigerians believe in the concept of sin. First, we must understand that sin is a religious concept. Not every Nigerian is religious. Your religion is also a personal matter, why drag other people into your personal relationship with Jesus, Mohamed or Obatala? When I am told that homosexuality is a sin, I just tell them their religion is not my law. The Bible or Quran is not my constitution, so why is that even coming up? It is absurd when Christian gay bashers gleefully quote Leviticus 18:22 to justify why they want to jail and stone gays. Anyone who wants to quote from Leviticus should at least read the book to make sure they are not guilty of any of the things condemned in the book. Leviticus also says you should not shave, you should not interact with a woman in her menstrual cycle, thou shall not eat shrimps or shell fish, Lev. 11:10,11:6-8 thou shall not touch the skin of a dead pig (therefore touching football without wearing gloves makes you unclean!)  So, when Christians throw Leviticus at me, I simply throw Leviticus right back in their face.
On what her family thinks about her sexual orientation and controversies:
What makes a family is love, tolerance and acceptance. Anyone who shows me love and welcomes me into their heart is my family. Love is one thing that is thicker than blood. My immediate family knows my sexual orientation, my father is late, and my mother is accepting of whom I am and has shown me love and support. To continue to be an important part of my life, you cannot be homophobic, biphobic or transphobic.
On if her atheism belief is connected to her sexuality:
My atheism has nothing to do with my bisexuality. Atheism is simply a non-belief in God. My bisexuality is my sexual orientation, no connection. However, I must say, my atheism has helped me to stand up against religious bullies, who use the Bible and the Quran to justify their hate for gays, lesbians, transsexual and bisexuals. Religion carries a lot of unwarranted weight in Nigeria and Africa generally. This should not be so. In fact, this is one reason the African continent is still very backward. When religion carried so much weight in Europe during middle Ages, it was wrought with wars, jihads, killings and ethnic cleansing.  Many religious Africans now use the ‘holy’ books to justify the oppression of members of their own society. Even when the original owners of the religion inform them that the book has been updated and some parts are no longer applicable, Africans still insist that it is must be applicable because it says so in the book they were given. How pathetic!..

photoPeter Okoye of Psquare was trying to congratulate colleague KCee 'Limpopo' crooner on twitter for joining the oil business. He tweeted "Personally welcome u on bored" instead of 'on board'.

''Why I Was Nakéd In The Big Brother House'' - Beverly Osu (PHOTO)

The BBA star was admitted for treatment due to a sprain ankle she suffered in the BBA house, a day to the finale.
For 91 days, the video vixen entertained Africa with so many tales of her life experiences and of course, the widely condemned séxual encounter that resulted from an in-house love affair between her and another housemate, Angelo Collins
The one question everybody wanted to know was why she succúmbed to her séxual úrges and having séx with the South African while the entire continent watched.
I did not have séx in the house, I never had séx in the house. I had a relationship with Angelo Collins but we didn’t have séx. Nothing happened between me and Angelo. Though there were awkward moments, we never had séx. I know what happened then between us but we never got down to have séx’, she insists.
Rumour has it that Angelo has a girlfriend, but Beverly doesn’t seem to care. ‘I don’t want to talk about his so called girlfriend because I don’t know anything about her’.
Does she see a future in the relationship, she says, ‘We talk every day. He loves me and I still love him. I would get married to him if I had the chance.’
Of course on the issue of núdity she says, ‘all of us take our baths nakéd. So I shouldn’t be different because I went for a reality show. I shouldn’t be different from every other person, because I didn’t bring out my videos, Big Brother did so I should not be judged, and I represented Nigeria well’.
Particularly known for her fabulous stories: from abortion to rape to sleeping with men for money and dating musicians, she seems not to regret her actions at all. ‘I’m a very open person. Melvin knows, he stayed with me for 91 days. I say what’s on my mind, and for me to reveal myself to the world, it didn’t look like I was revealing myself to the world’, she said, ‘I was talking too much, maybe, but I’m on a reality show. I don’t regret saying the things that I said about me and my family, because if I have to be on this platform, people have to know the real me and what I’ve been through.’
As much as she discussed her mom’s ugly past on terrestrial television, her mom’s love was never lost from her side. ‘I can never go out of my way to disgrace and disappoint my mom intentionally. She has lectured me properly. And even if the whole world rejects me, my mom can’t reject me. I love my mom so much. I am her only daughter and last born. I’ve always been there for her and she’ll always be there for me.’
Her conduct in the house has been termed an embarrassment to Nigeria as a country, and Beverly apologises, ‘I don’t feel happy about it since this will be the first time I will be representing Nigeria… I’m sorry for embarrassing my country. I didn’t do it intentionally. My participation in the show was not to embarrass my country‘.
Was 2shotz the rapper boyfriend Beverly claimed was constantly abusing her? ‘No. I wasn’t referring to him. For me, 2shots is history. Thank you for reminding me about him.’
She may have lost out on the $300,000 prize money, but she made history by becoming the first BBA contestant that was never nominated for eviction since the inception of the African franchise of the television series in 2003 and for that she says,  ‘I broke a record… I made Nigeria proud’.
Beverly has come out of the show a celebrity, whether for the right reasons or the wrong, but she is hoping to roll on with the little fame she has achieved. ‘Before I left, I had a show called ‘Beverly Says’ and I’m back to push it. If you guys watched Big Brother, you would be very sure that I can act, so I’d go into movies, but then, I have to finish school because I’m in my 200 level.’

Actress Stephanie Okereke, Others Wanted For Fraud


The Nigerian movie industry also known as Nollywood is poised for a showdown as the Association of Nollywood Core Producers, ANCOP, has petitioned EFCC and SFU over the N50 million largesse donated by Governor Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom State to support the industry.
The association is alleging massive fraud in the disbursement of the fund. It has petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Special Fraud Unit (SFU) to investigate the matter.
According to a copy of the petition made available to HVP, signed by the association’s President, Comrade Alex Eyengho, the group is asking the agencies to invite the National President of the Association of Movie Producers, AMP, Zik Zulu Okafor, the National President of the Directors Guild of Nigeria, DGN, Andy Amenechi; the Secretary General of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, AGN, Yakubu Abubakar and actress Stephanie Okereke- Linus Idahosa for obtaining the fund and disbursing it without the consent of the industry’s stakeholders.

Move Had To Be Made - Victor Moses


Victor Moses feels his career could have been damaged had he not completed a season-long loan move to Liverpool.
With it clear that he did not figure in Jose Mourinho's immediate plans at Chelsea - following summer deals for the likes of Andre Schurrle and Willian - Moses jumped at the chance to head for Anfield on deadline day.
He will spend the remainder of the 2013/14 campaign on Merseyside and hopes he will be given the regular opportunities he craves by Brendan Rodgers.
Moses was restricted to just 12 Premier League starts after signing for Chelsea last summer and admits his game would have suffered had he remained on the fringes of the fold at Stamford Bridge.
The 22-year-old winger told the Reds' official website: "As a young footballer coming up, I just want to play games.
"Not playing can really damage your career. Liverpool is a massive club and I just want to enjoy my football and try to help my team-mates.
"The move to Chelsea was a massive step for me. I just wanted to go there, express myself and enjoy my football. Coming to Liverpool is another step for me."

AfroCandy Opens Up On Her Séx Scenes and Much More


Controversy never seizes to follow US-based Nigerian actress, Judith Opara Mazagwu, a.k.a AfroCandy. The mother of two is however insisting that many Nigerians love what she is doing and they are rushing for her movies, even though some are pretending in public.

Below are AfroCandy's revelations on her latest séx scene and more:

Your recently released movie entitled “Destructive Instinct” has generated mixed reactions. Surely you expected this to happen.
Well, you should know that the people that are condemning my movie are not my fans. They are pure haters. My fans do not condemn me, but they love everything I do. They are even happy that I could beat the odds to release the movie regardless of all the setbacks. I don’t care about the people that are speaking negatively about the movie. They should get used to it because this is just the beginning. It is what it is! Their bad comments and attacks did not stop me, can never stop me and will never stop me.

Is it true that you want to bring the movie to Nigeria ? 
Yes. I was even preparing to release it in Nigeria this month, but there is a little discrepancy with the marketers. They want the original version with the sex scenes, but we are still discussing on some issues. I didn’t get naked and didn’t have sex in the movie and will regard it as the usual or normal movie. So, we are still on it and as soon as we reach an agreement, I will drop it.

How convinced are you that the Censors Board will not ban the movie in Nigeria?
I already told you the marketers said I should leave that for them to handle. That is why they are asking for that version. I guess they know better.

Is it true that the main reason you produced the porn movie was to gain publicity here in Nigeria?
Publicity was not the intention. I was trying to break a record in Africa, not just in Nigeria. But the fact is that this kind of movie I made does not come without ‘publicity’. You know.

What is your grouse with Mercy Johnson, Uche Jumbo, Ini Edo and other Nigerian actresses?
I have nothing with or against any of the actresses .

It was reported that you always took Ini Edo along with you to locations back then. Does the relationship remain the same? 
I never had any relationship with any of them. As for Ini Edo, I worked on the same productions with her director who had to beg me to pick her up from the bus stops. One was at the Amuwo Odofin. We were shooting a movie in Festac and she had no car then, while I already had my first car. The second time was at Ogba. That was years back.

Do you see these actresses ahead of you now? 
I see myself as AfroCandy. I am who I am and doing my things in my own ways. I am not competing with any actress, neither am I trying to be like any other. So, I don’t see myself amidst anybody. Sometimes I make references just to let people know what is on, instead of just letting them judge me by mere assumption.

Don’t you feel you are missing as you are not based in Nigeria? 
I live in a country where most of them long to live. I don’t think I am missing anything because I can still do whatever I want to do from America. The only thing is, I took a break to focus on raising my daughters as a single mother. I have to stay closer to them.My first has turned 18 and she is very responsible. I will loosen up a little bit to pay attention to my career though, so I will be doing more now. And whether I am in Nigeria or not, you won’t know the difference.

But Uche Ogbodo and Cossy Orjiakor remain your true friends in the industry?
I think I answered you before.

As a mother and an actress, which of your movies do your children like most?
I don’t discuss that with my children. I only give them a hint of my projects. They don’t even have to see my projects to like them, or approve of them, especially now that I have started doing more of explicit projects. Explicit stuffs are not for children.

But people, especially the under-aged, could gain access to these explicit stuff considering the level of technology we have today.
Well, you can’t control what children see on the internet, but your job as a parent is to educate them on the implications. If they are responsible kids, they stay away from such things. My kids are very intelligent, smart and very responsible. They know what to stay away from. 

You recently celebrated your birthday. How fulfilled are you?
Very fulfilled.

How did you celebrate it?
I was too busy trying to release my movie. For now, it is all business before pleasure for me. When I achieve all I am working toward, I shall relax and celebrate birthdays because I don’t believe in chasing grasshoppers while the house is on fire.

How did you feel seeing your social media walls flooded with loads of birthday wishes?
It felt good.

You have more male fans than the females
I think so.

Maybe they got attracted to your weird postures?
The fact is that I am a female. More of the opposite sex should naturally be attracted to me.

Were you impressed with the turnout to your recent “Dick” auditioning?
I was overwhelmed, not just impressed. I even twitted about it. I got more responses than I expected.

What prompted the auditioning?
I cannot go into details about that for now.

In your last interview you promised to remarry soon. Any plan towards that yet?
No plans yet. Like I said, I am too busy for that.

Would you encourage any of your wards to go into acting or sing?
I have once answered that question but the press misconstrued it and wrote what I did not say. So, please, leave that. Leave my children out of it. They got their education to focus on and don’t need these distractions. If I want them to act or sing, they will. But for now, let them be.

A host of Nigerian, Ghanaian movie producers and you, in recent time, have appeared in movies that could pass as porno. Is it a new avenue?
It is what it is. That’s all I have to say.

What really spurred you to produce such movies?
I wanted to break a life time record. I wanted to set the pace while others can follow. You can say that I love making history.

Can you state briefly the main story line of the movie?
It is a long story, it’s a movie with four parts. I can’t start telling it here. I’ll rather have people get the movie and watch it to figure out what the story is all about.

How did you arrive at the title “Destructive Instinct”?
Honestly, it was my producer in Nigeria that gave the name ‘Destructive Instinct’. I can’t tell how he came about it.

Words were that it was because you’ve been starved of sex.
Oh, really? I never read about that. But I would let you and those that reported it to take a good look at me and tell me if I look like a sex starved woman. I guess it’s conji that is affecting our people. They are the ones that are sex-starved for them to have even had such crap in their hearts.

What are the challenges that almost turned you off during the course of producing that movie?
We had so many challenges right from the beginning to the end, but what matters is where we are. At last, the movie came out. It became a reality.

What should your fans expect after Destructive instinct?
I am coming out with a new movie titled ‘Ikebe Squad’ and a new single.

Would you say you are successful are as an actress?
I am not as successful as I want be, so I cannot tell you that I am successful; as long as the hustle continues, no success yet.

With your experience, how would you compare Naija entertainment and that of the US?
Is there any comparison between the two? The difference is clear because we are third in the world, meaning we are evolving in quantity, but USA is higher in quality, but we will get there someday.

How have you been able to contribute to the growth of the industry, especially in US?
You can see what I am doing already; at least I brought something new to the Industry.

One of the house mates of the just concluded Big Brother Africa (BBA), Beverly, had rejected your invitation to feature her in your film. How will you react to this?
I will not comment on that for now. I cannot answer anything that has to do with Beverly yet.

Would you honour the invitation if you were asked to participate in the next edition of BBA?
I want to reserve my comment on that. I remember the late Goldie featured as a guest artiste in one of the editions, but did AfroCandy represent Nigeria on BBA? I still want to keep mute on that. I don’t know, but it sounds funny to me.

How often do you follow the game?
I do not watch reality shows, but I know and heard about the activities on it.

As the African woman you claim to be, do you have African attires?
Of course, I have a lot them, Am I not an African Woman? Original Igbo Woman for that matter, I lived in Lagos for 14 years with all the Owambe parties.

Talking about appearance and looks, what reactions do you get from people when you go out?
Well, I do not walk around naked, and my stage appearance is usually different from the regular day to day dressing, so I do not raise any eyebrows when am on the streets. Sometimes you may not even recognise me; absolutely no different reactions.

As an African and Igbo woman, it is believed that people do not see single parents as responsible persons. What is your take to this?
That is Nigerian mentality, “slave mentality.” I want to tell you and those people with such mentalities to look around the world, especially in America, most influential people were raised by single mothers, President Obama was raised by a single mom, Oprah was raised by a single mom and the list goes on.

You mean you don’t have any regrets as a single mother, even if there were lots of condemnation to such development?
Does my looks and demeanor suggest that I have any regrets?

What is your most embarrassing moment?
I never really had a very embarrassing experience, but there was a time, I was moving into a new apartment, the truck and the movers were outside with some of my neighbours, I came out carrying something to the truck and somehow my wig got stuck on one of the things I was carrying and fell off of, everyone was looking at me before I realised I had no wigs on my head, I ran back into the house to fix it. It was a crazy experience.

The High Rate Of Runs Girls In Naija Universities


“Study habit is poor; they still bask in examination malpractice and are engaged in bad gangs and internet fraud. A number of female students are into prostitution. I am sure that the National Association of Nigeria Students and local student unions are taking steps to purge their members of these ills."

Those are the words of the former Executive Secretary of Nigeria National Universities Commission (NUC), Prof Peter Okebukola, while decrying the high rate of female prostitutes in Nigerian universities, saying the trend is a dangerous slope for Nigeria's  future generation.

In a chat with Leadership, Prof Okebukola said but for the dirty acts of our ladies, leaving their books to go into prostitution, Nigeria still has some of the best universities in Nigeria.

“Let me assure you that Nigerian universities are still clearly the leader in the pack in Africa regarding quality of curriculum delivery. Without sounding arrogant, I have been in more than 70% of universities in Africa and only two months ago, concluded a consultancy on the quality of university education in Africa,” he said.

Okebukola said lecturers in Nigerian universities are among the best and most respected and regarded in the West African region, saying the major problem is the continuous problem between ASUU and government.

Done Deal! Willian has Chelsea Medical After Signing For Massive Deal


Chelsea have confirmed that they have agreed terms with both Willian and Anzhi Makhachkala for the transfer of the attacking midfielder.
The Brazil international, who underwent a medical at Chelsea on Sunday, seemed set to sign for Tottenham, but the Stamford Bridge club came in with a late bid.
And Jose Mourinho is looking to complete a double swoop after it was revealed Chelsea are in talks with the Russian club over striker Samuel Eto'o.

However, reports in Italy suggest that Eto'o has been spotted in Milan, fuelling rumours the Cameroon striker could join Italian giants Inter if a move to Chelsea falls through.
The transfer of Willian is subject to a work permit hearing on Wednesday.
Hours after terms were agreed, William revealed his delight at the pending move on his Instagram account: 'My dream come true!! Im very happy to sign with a best club in the world. Thanks God!! COME ON CHELSEA!!!.'
The 25-year-old flew in to England last week, expecting to sign terms with Tottenham to replace Gareth Bale after initial conversations with Liverpool.
He even had a medical at Spurs' training ground, but was said to be 'considering his options', thought to be looking for Champions League football.
Chelsea were that option, eventually completing a transfer thought to be in the region of £30million, also offering him a slightly better financial package.

Jose Mourinho revealed at a press conference on Friday that be believed Willian had made his decision and was picking west London over the north, with the winger meeting his new team-mates on Saturday.
Daniel Levy was intent on signing the star as a replacement for Real Madrid-bound Bale, along with Roma's Erik Lamela, and is sure to be outraged by Chelsea's snatch.
The 'Special One' was full of laughter when he met the media on Friday, mocking Spurs saying: ‘The best thing you can do is do the medical in secret. If the player is fine, you can sign him. If the player is not fine, you don’t destroy his career by saying the player has problems, so you do it in secret and after that sign the contract.’
With the amount of attacking midfielders at Mourinho's disposal, it is unclear where Willian will fit in at the club.
Oscar, Eden Hazard, Victor Moses, Kevin De Bruyne, Andre Schurrle, Marco Van Ginkel and Juan Mata all fighting for a No 10 role, though there is some doubt over the Spaniard's future.
 
Willian has been linked with a move to the Premier League for many years, impressing in the Champions League with Shakhtar Donetsk.

He almost completed a transfer to Chelsea back in 2011 when Andre Villas Boas was in charge, and the pair have kept in touch since, hence Spurs' involvement in the transfer.
After scoring ten goals in 55 European appearnces, and lighting up the domestic stage too, he surprisingly made the move to mega-rich Russian side Anzhi.
The 25-year-old only spent eight months at the club though, playing ten games, before the side had to sell some of their major assets because of financial issues.
