My name is Tolani Alvin Osungade, and this is what really happened between Dj Tee and I...... Firstly, the video shoot was suppose to start @ 10am and I was there to support my friend "malcoholic" the owner of the video shoot. He (malcoholic) told to me invite friends (video girls and guys) which I did. The video shoot did not start early because it rained and the location was being cleaned. And due to the fact that the shoot didn't start on time, people were having refreshments, guys were drinking (including dj tee and his crew). As this was going on, comments were going round that dj tee just insulted some girls I don't know due to them asking for payment to be in the video and i also heard dj tee was going to call his own people to come and replace them.

Confessions Of An Ex-Cultist: "I Sacrificed A Baby And My Manhood For Money Rituals

This Nonsense Is Going Down: Chris Brown & Drake Offered $1m to Fight in a Boxing Ring

According to New York Daily News, Chris Brown and Drake have been offered $1million apiece to continue their feud in the boxing ring.. Eyes rolling. Talk of being jobless and having no good use for money.. Peep the exerpt below

Sparring singers Chris Brown and Drake have been offered $1 million apiece to continue their bottle-flinging fracas in a boxing ring. Celebrity Boxing promoter Damon  Fieldman said billionaire soda bottling heir Alki David has offered to write the hefty checks and give another $1 million to charity if the rival R&B stars agree to put up their dukes.

“Obviously they have a grudge. It’s just three 1-minute rounds. No one will get seriously hurt,” Feldman told the Daily News.
He said the pay-per-view event could be in Las Vegas or Los Angeles with a target date of Aug. 25. A Brown representative told The News that the performer’s camp has “never heard” of the offer.
The singers have been linked to a police investigation since their alleged feud left at least eight people injured following the violent melee inside Manhattan’s W.i.P. nightclub June 14.

A police source earlier told The News that investigators were tracking down witnesses to support claims that Drake, 25, taunted Brown and his entourage with overtures related to Rihanna, the sultry singer they’ve both dated.

The brawl left Brown with a busted chin and his NBA pal Tony Parker with enough damage to his left eye that he required surgery and might miss playing for France’s national team in the Summer Olympics.
Feldman said he’d like Rihanna to participate in the proposed punch-fest, never mind that Brown was convicted of beating her bloody in 2009.
“I would love to have Rihanna as the ring girl,” Feldman told The News Monday.
In Linda Ikeji's voice, some people haff ya were : ( All that money going to such stupidity.. isorait

Overheard: Young Pastor Impregnates Married Female Pastor

This is certainly not the best of times for the flocks of Lord’s Delight Ministries (a.k.a Delight Arena) located at No 51 Afolabi Street, Ishibiri road, Ajangbadi, Lagos, as its founder who is currently embroiled in a sordid divorce suit is accused of being impregnated by young pastor.

At the centre of the storm is Pastor Rita Obioma Obiakor, the General Overseer of the church and her minister husband, Pastor Paulinus Obiakor who are both entangled in a web of accusations and counter accusations of infidelity, and behaviours unbecoming of the clergy as the couple dragged itself before a customary court, sitting at Ojo, Lagos, under President T.A Said.

Joke [Hilarious]: The Last Child Support Cheque

Borrowed: Today is my daughters 18th birthday - I'm so glad that this is my last child support payment. Month after month, year after year, those payments!

 I called my daughter to come over to my house, 'nd when she got there, I said to her, "Baby girl, I want you to take this last cheque over to your Mama's house; You tell her that this is the last cheque she's ever going to get from me, then I want you to come back here and tell me the expression she had on her face."

So my baby girl took the check over to her. I was so anxious to hear what the ex had to say and how she took it.

As my baby girl walked through the door, I said, "Well now .. what did she have to say?"

"She told me to tell you that you ain't my Daddy." 
OUCH! 

Hehe, maga don pay!

The MBGN pageant is close to losing its credibility because of the recent disgrace of their current queen which the organisers are trying to sweep under the carpet.

For those who do not know yet,the current Mbgn was rejected by the Miss world pageant organisers over an alleged falsification of her age,but the mgbn pageant directors have announced that their queen isabella is not attending the miss world pageant for 'personal reasons'(story story!).

His sons being European citizens resident for just about 10 years in England were instructed to send a letter of invitation to a distant cousin of theirs, which they refused to comply with, the circumstances of which I will not delve into but the fundamentals remain the same.
