BBN; THE NEW HOUSEMATES, AND DID YOU KNOW GIFTY AND THINTALLTONY ARE MARRIED?.

Housemates in the on-going Big Brother Naija expected an eviction on the show last night, but they were pleasantly surprised as not only was there no eviction, they also got two more people in the house. The two were introduced during a live show anchored by Ebuka Obi.
First runner-up in the third edition of Nigerian Idol, Debbie Rise and actor, Bassey are the new additions to the Big Brother Naija house. Nominations for real eviction will now begin in the new week, but the two new housemates are immuned, just as they are also not allowed to nominate any for possible eviction. The 14 contestants are playing for N25 million and a new Kia Sorento car.
And by the way we got to find out Gifty and ThinTallTony are both married, not to each other o
12 housemates walked in to the Big Brother Naija house on Sunday January 22nd, two came yesterday, and in their introductions, no one said they are married, or mentioned their kids (except Bisola who is a single parent).
Are we wrong or did we miss it?

Chaos is coming to the US following Donald Trump's election to the highest seat in the country. The state of California wants to secede from the United States in a move that has been called 'Calexit', which if they succeed, would establish California as a separate country from the USA. This is the first time since 1861 that a state (South Carolina) would attempt to exit the US.

One of the people pushing for the recession explained why California wants out of the US;
"California is the most diverse place in the world. And we want to have more minorities, more immigrants, more international connections"

Aabiefab blog wishes our very own Anifowoshe Olaiya a very happy birthday and many happy returns.

If you haven't heard about the *buhaha* between reggae blues crooner Harrysong and his former label Five Star Music then I have just one question for you and it's that question we ask first timers in my church.. mbok where have you been?!. Okay let me quickly fill you in, so yesterday monday Linda Ikeji posted that according to konfam sources Harrysong had just been arrested by his former label for breach of contract and we had to wait till evening before there was official statement from the label, by the way according to reports he was released yesterday evening. Read the statement below

It has become both imperative and necessary to state our position on the ongoing misguided and fallacious news making the rounds in the media between our esteemed record label and Mr. Harry Tare Okri.
Sometime in 2008 when Mr. Harry first approached our record label for a music contract, we immediately declined the request when we found out that he had a subsisting contract with one Mr. Kevin Luciano of ‘Question Mark Entertainment Label’. All efforts then by Mr. Harry to influence our management proved abortive as our position was maintained on grounds of equity, fairness and professionalism.
For further avoidance of doubts on the true facts of the present situation, our management has decided to officially set the records straight, because of negative and pervasive influence being foisted on the psyche of our numerous and well meaning fans.

Our first encounter with Mr. Harry was sometime in 2008 when he approached our management for a music contract. As stated above, according to our findings at that time, his contract with ‘Question Mark Entertainment Record Label’ was still subsisting and valid. Obviously we declined when we found out that Mr. Harry’s plans were ill orchestrated against his employers, by walking out on them without fulfilling the obligations clearly contained in his running contract with them.

When Harry’s employers (Question Mark Entertainment) got wind of his frantic efforts to desert his contract, a stern and official public statement was issued against Mr. Harry and a certain clause establishing his existing contract was clearly published for full consumption by the general public.

3a.    The tussle continued between Harry and his employers till sometime in 2014 when Harry once again approached us, this time very desperate. We opened preliminary discussions with him but demanded an official document from his former employers relieving him of any obligation or liability with regards to his contract with them.
3b.    Our move to do things right and professionally with Mr. Harry earned us a Twenty Million Naira Legal Suit (N20,000,000.00) from Mr. Kevin Luciano of Question Mark Entertainment (Records are there for confirmation). We were joined as co-defendants with Mr. Harry.
Juxtaposing the above with what is going on now, it is quite unfortunate because “Good intentions counts as much as good actions, and the person seeking to do good is as good as someone who actually does it.
3c.    Knowing the vulnerability of Mr. Harry on the impending legal suit, we solicited the help of certain well respected individuals in the Music industry to wade into the matter, one of which was our dear veteran Daddy Showkey. Mr. Luciano having found out our intention from inception to act in good faith, agreed to withdraw his suit against Mr. Harry and our company BUT, not without consequential and settlement fees of Five Million Naira (N5,000,000.00, records available for verification).
We paid this amount solely without Mr. Harry contributing a dime!

It is often said that “When people sense that someone else is vulnerable, they tend to attack, for when the calf falls, the knives come out”. However, in Mr. Harry’s vulnerable situation, we did nothing of the sort. Rather, we whole heartedly bought all his liability off Question Mark Entertainment Label, and welcomed him as a family into Five Star Music Label, a genuine gesture and decision we are all regretting this present day.

Because we are known for running our affairs professionally and legally, we signed a three year contract with Mr. Harry and certain conditions and obligations were specifically and properly spelled out apart from the terms of the contract. Most important of these were his obligations to our Music Label, which amongst others include:

That he must deliver at least, three (3) full music albums on or before the expiration of the first term of his three year contract, otherwise the label solely reserves the right either to rescind or extend the contract.

These conditions were never met.

While in the employment of the Five Star Music Label, he must not engage himself in anyway whatsoever, whether directly, by proxy or through a third party in any Music or recording business other than that of Five Star Music. This condition was also repeatedly breached as Mr. Harry has been releasing music, going on tours locally and internationally without our consent or paying the agreed percentage to the label.

Five Star Music wishes to state categorically that this reckless breach of contract by Mr. Harry stands contrary to our company’s work ethics and will therefore be pursued to a logical conclusion using the full instrument of the law.

In setting the records straight, let it be known that before now, the label refrained from instituting any legal actions against him for his blatant breach of contract, just because he was still considered as part of Five Star Music family. However, his posture as clearly manifested through his lawyers whom have continued to write and make all kinds of assertions and threats to the label necessitated our immediate response for the general public to know the truth and inherent facts of the story. For it is said, that facts speaks for themselves.
We therefore advice the general public to tread with caution and desist from transacting any business with Mr. Harry Tare Okri, as same is both illegal and a total breach of his existing contract with our record Label, ‘Five Star Music Label’. Notwithstanding what propaganda he feeds the public, we further advice that proper verifications are made from us, as there is no iota of truth emanating therefrom.
Signed
Mr. C.C Chris
Five Star Music Limited

PROTEST IN UNILORIN AS UNLEARED STUDENTS STORM SCHOOL.

Today 23/01/17 fresh admitted but not cleared prospective students from various departments of the university of Ilorin came out in their large number to hold a peaceful protest against the school management. They were seen complaining that they paid for acceptance fee and were not cleared to study the course they were admitted for saying they can't be cleared due to unacceptable result after paying the acceptance fee of twenty thousand naira. They also complained about the portal that has been hacked for weeks which has made registration for freshers and returning students slow.
Though the school management prepared a manual means for registration pending the time that the school portal issue would be resolved. This has also affected student from being matriculated as no specific date is announced for the new students matriculation.

Eeeeew!, what is this? is what some people say after seeing the stretch marks on another girl, no lies stretch marks can be nasty for some people and it is minimal for some people, but I don't think there is any girl who doesn't have stretch marks.

Stretch marks are the off-coloured stripes or streaks formed on the skin as a result of swift stretching of skin or weight changes. They mainly appear on abdomen due to pregnancy or obesity. In dermatology, they are termed as Striae. They are formed due to hormonal changes related to pregnancy, puberty, hormone replacement therapy, etc. Stretch marks can be commonly seen on waist, thighs, lower backs, hips, breasts, arms, and buttocks. How are these stretch marks formed? The skin of the human body consists of three main layers:

He was given a full ceremonial honour by the military brass band and a red carpet treatment. According to a journalist who witnessed the departure, some of his aides wept openly on the tarmac, while “others outside are still celebrating”.

The Alagua of Agbeyangi, Alhaji Aliyu Baba, said in statement in Ilorin that a media report to that effect was not true.

According to him, it is a tradition in the community that herdsmen, migrating into the area, are subjected to screening before they are admitted.

AABIEFAB QUOTE OF THE DAY.

I saw it,loved it and decided to share because I care..hehe.
Hope it helps.

POTUS, FLOTUS...I'M SURE YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS AND HOW IT ALL STARTED.

THE OUTGOING POTUS AND FLOTUS.

'POTUS' began as an abbreviation used by telegraphic code operators in the 1890s. It stands for "President of the United States."
-OTUS, the shortened version of the phrase "of the United States," was an unlikely addition to our language, as it is both a suffix and an acronym (or, if you prefer, an initialism). Yet this collection of letters has managed to be quite successful. We began using -OTUS in the late 19th century, and we're still finding new ways to use it today.

KEY POINTS FROM OBAMA'S LAST CONFERENCE AS PRESIDENT OF THE USA.
