South African Government has announced the death of Nelson Mandela. South African president Jacob Zuma announced that the former president and anti-apartheid revolutionary passed away peacefully in the company of his family in his home in Johannesburg around 8:50 on Dec. 5th. He was 95 years old.<br />
<br />
His death marks the final chapter in a life that changed South Africa forever. What a man! May his soul rest in peace, amen.<br />
<br />
President Jacob Zuma said flags will be flown at half-mast across South Africa immediately with a state burial to follow. The UK government have also announced that flags will be flown at half-mast in the UK.

<br />
There’s never a dull moment at any MTV award show.<br /><br />At this year’s Europe Music Awards which went down in Amsterdam on November 10, 2013, Pop singer/actor Miley Cyrus and rapper Iggy Azalea gave more than fans expected to see.<br /><br />First off was the Aussie rapper who suffered a wardrobe malfunction on the red carpet showing off her genitals, yup that’s shockingly right! The pervs had a field day staring at her ‘dignity‘.<br /><br />And then there’s our dear Miley who surprised us (but probably disappointed some) as she de-activated twerk mode. She did however smoke a spliff of what looked like marijuana on stage as she accepted her award for ‘Best Video‘.<br /><br />Hey, it’s very much legal to smoke weed in Amsterdam, so we’re not sweating Miley. That would be wrong… Dapo Babalolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11167637168220315057noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202368377161377596.post-10224121491065759222013-11-18T19:27:00.005+01:002013-11-18T19:27:47.661+01:00Ladies, would you buy this swimsuit for N160M?<img alt="" class="size-large wp-image-163321" height="242" src="http://thenet.ng/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Miss-Universe-2013-Gabriela-Isler-from-Venezuela-models-the-Yamamay-Million-Dollar-Swimsuit-which-costs-1M-600x363.jpg" title="Miss Universe 2013 Gabriela Isler, from Venezuela, models the Yamamay Million Dollar Swimsuit which costs $1M" width="400" /><br />

<br />
A 25-year old Ugandan Computer Science graduate, Julius Sseremba has launched a social networking platform called Elitehive.<br />
<a name='more'></a>According to Ugandan newspaper The Observer, Elitehive is a social networking application where people can connect, chat, share photos/videos and get news.<br /><br />Already being described as the Ugandan version of Facebook, the site was created by the graduate of Makerere University, who presently works with BizTalk Systems Uganda Limited as a systems developer.<br /><br />‘We developed our own Ugandan alternative to global social networks (with) unique features. For instance, we have a feature called Hive where all the public content is pushed. People can get real-time newsfeeds on education, politics, entertainment, sports, etc.’ Sseremba says.<br /><br />Activated in April this year, the site already has 2,000 members with at least 500 active daily users, from 20 different countries. <br />Dapo Babalolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11167637168220315057noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202368377161377596.post-89798303589697477432013-11-18T19:25:00.001+01:002013-11-18T19:25:15.272+01:00Designer Emmy Collins and Linda Ikeji’s sister in twitter battle<img alt="" class="size-full wp-image-163449" height="400" src="http://thenet.ng/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Emmy-Collins-and-Laura-Ikeji.png" title="Emmy Collins and Laura Ikeji" width="283" /><br />
<br />
Popular designer and ‘part-time’ blogger Emmy Collins is well noted for his overly controversial write-ups, and his inclination to throw jabs at unsuspecting ‘victims’ on his blog ‘Diary by Emmy’.<br />
<a name='more'></a>However, the high class designer may have bitten more than he could chew with his latest post about renowned blogger Linda Ikeji’s younger sister, Laura.<br /><br />Recently, Emmy took to his blog in his usual manner to throw shots at some celebrities like Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, Dayo ‘D1′ Adeneye, Uti Nwachukwu, Ebube Nwagbo, Rukky Sanda, Juliet Ibrahim, and a couple of others, pointing out flaws in their outfits and dress sense.<br /><br />The list of ‘victims’ at the receiving end of the popular designer’s tongue-lash also included the younger Ikeji whose offence according to the part-time blogger was ‘posting an invoice of her sister’s (Linda) purchases from Dubai’ on her Twitter and Instagram page.<br /><br />In Emmy’s opinion and going by the write up posted on Monday, November 11, the act was ‘tacky’ and a ‘proof that some people will always remain poor regardless of how much money they acquire.’<br /><br />The designer went further to suggest that Laura suffered from ‘poverty mentality’ and ‘bushwomanism’.<br /><br />Not one to take insults lying on her back, Laura went on the attack on twitter, tweeting insults at the designer, and calling him a failed designer.<br /><br />‘Failed designer, nobody wears ur clothes. Other designers make millions from making clothes, u turned blogger to diss ppl.’ She tweeted.<br /><br />Laura also went further to add, ‘Nigga get ur gay ass together Biko. Look me wella, I nor fear U. What can u write abt me? Dat I’m ugly???? Stale! 25yrs late.’<br /><br />So far, Emmy’s only response to the series of tweets is referring to her as an ‘Idiot’.<br />Dapo Babalolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11167637168220315057noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202368377161377596.post-68904909889025047282013-11-18T19:23:00.001+01:002013-11-18T19:23:25.286+01:00Actors O.C Ukeje and Lala Akindoju in romantic relationship?<img alt="" class=" wp-image-163670" height="400" src="http://thenet.ng/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/O.C-Ukeje-and-Lala-Akindoju-attending-an-event-held-in-Lagos.jpg" title="O.C Ukeje and Lala Akindoju attending an event held in Lagos, 2013" width="266" /><br />
<br />
Popular actor O.C Ukeje and dramatic/theatre artiste Kemi ‘Lala’ Akindoju are currently in a romantic relationship, NET has learnt.<br />
<a name='more'></a>We are told that the pair who has been seen one too many times in the past few months are madly in love with each other even though they’ve been keeping it under the wraps.<br /><br />It is believed that the lovebirds met on the set of Charles Novia‘s award winning comedy flick ‘Alan Poza’, back in 2012 and grew fond of each other since then.<br /><br />‘They got quite close on the set of the movie. But they’ve been very careful to keep it on the down low’, a source told our correspondent.<br /><br />Speaking with Akindoju, the actress denied the romantic affair, categorically stating that they were just ‘very close friends’. ‘We are just friends, there is nothing between us romantically’, Lala laughed as she spoke with our correspondent. Sources tell us Lala once dated Red Media’s Chude Jideonwo and was at a point very close friends with music producer Cobhams Asuquo.<br /><br />NET also spoke with Ukeje about the love affair. He also denied it, reaffirming what Lala said, ‘We are just close friends’.<br /><br />Ukeje and Lala are currently in Calabar attending the on-going Africa International Film Festival.<br /><br />Ukeje, who is fast becoming the leading man in Nollywood started out as a stage performer, shot into limelight and won the Amstel Malta Box Office (AMBO) reality television show in 2007. He went on to win the African Movie Academy Awards (AMAA) for the ‘Best Upcoming Actor‘ in 2008. His growing profile continued when he won ‘Best Lead Actor’ at the Nigeria Movie Awards (NMA) in 2013.<br /><br />Akindoju who has a degree in Insurance from the University of Lagos, ventured into the world of dramatic arts way back in 2005 and made her break when she won the Future Awards for ‘Best Actress’ in 2010. She’s been involved in the highest tie of drama and theatre in Nigeria. Having set up her own production outfit, the ‘Make It Happen Productions’, Lala has been able to set up ground-breaking initiatives in the industry – Open Mic Theatre, The V Monologues – and is currently the casting director for Ndani TV while she teaches at Joke Silva’s LUFODO, a school for the arts.<br />

Photo: Bangshowbiz" class="size-full wp-image-159873" height="400" src="http://thenet.ng/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Robbie-Williams.jpeg" width="400" /><br />
<br />
Robbie Williams fears the current interest in Miley Cyrus and the fame she has achieved could have a detrimental effect on her.<br /><br />The ‘Candy’ hitmaker – who has done two stints in rehab himself – is concerned for the wellbeing of the 20-year-old singer and is worried the staggering level of fame she has achieved could have a negative effect on her.<br />
<a name='more'></a>He said: ‘Miley’s got the world talking and looking at her. And the spotlight that’s now upon her is rehab-making. It has a detrimental effect on your psyche. I’ve had a similar light shine on my direction and it f***s you up – for a long time.’ The 39-year-old star believes the ‘Wrecking Ball’ hitmaker – who shot to fame on Disney TV show ‘Hannah Montana‘ – is fighting against the showbiz industry and trying to break away from her father Billy Ray Cyrus.<br /><br />He explained: ‘She’s just a kid. She’s a kid who looks as though she’s rebelling against her father and rebelling against the industry that put her in a Hannah Montana-shaped box.’ Miley has caused controversy in recent months following her raunchy performance with Robin Thicke at the MTV Video Music Awards in August, and lighting what appeared to be a marijuana joint at the MTV Europe Music Awards at the weekend.<br /><br />However, Robbie believes Miley is merely struggling to deal with being so famous and blames her wild behaviour on her child stardom.<br /><br />Speaking to the Daily Mirror newspaper, he said: ‘She makes good pop records, she’s got a nice body and a beautiful face. She’s a good pop star. But that spotlight is too intense even for the most well-rounded people. They’d find it impossible to deal with, let alone someone who’s been a child star since they were three or whatever.’<br /><br />-BANG <br />Dapo Babalolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11167637168220315057noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202368377161377596.post-49811532826986806712013-11-18T19:20:00.005+01:002013-11-18T19:20:50.310+01:00Nicolas Cage sex photos stolen<img alt="" class="size-full wp-image-163771" height="268" src="http://thenet.ng/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Nicolas-Cage.jpg" title="Nicolas Cage" width="400" /><br />
<br />
Sex photos of Nicolas Cage and ex-girlfriend Christina Fulton have reportedly been stolen from her home and a handyman has been arrested in connection with the crime.<br />
<a name='more'></a>‘The Frozen Ground’ actor has drafted in police officers to recover steamy pictures of himself and ex-girlfriend Christina Fulton – the mother of his 22-year-old son Weston – that were allegedly stolen from her home.<br /><br />TMZ says law enforcement officials have arrested handyman Richard Orozco, who is accused of the theft, and charged him with felony burglary. However, Orozco has pleaded not guilty and the photos have yet to be found. The arrest occurred last month and the handyman’s bail has been set at a whopping $1 million.<br /><br />It’s thought the pictures were stolen from Christina’s home in April and the culprit nabbed four computers, as well as a box containing the illicit snaps. The 49-year-old star began dating Christina, 46, in 1988 and the couple welcomed their son Weston into the world in December 1990.<br /><br />Nicolas has been married three times since his relationship with Christina. He wed ‘Medium’ actress Patricia Arquette in 1995, but the marriage ended in divorce in 2001.<br /><br />The star then married Lisa-Marie Presley, the daughter of Elvis Presley, in August 2002 in a short-lived union which lasted just three months. The couple split in November 2002 and finalised their divorce in 2004.<br /><br />The actor is currently married to former waitress Alice Kim, who is the mother of his eight-year-old son, Kal-El.<br /><br />-BANG <br />Dapo Babalolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11167637168220315057noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202368377161377596.post-67600201832325046432013-11-18T19:19:00.002+01:002013-11-18T19:19:54.756+01:00PHOTOS: Beyoncé, Eminem, Justin Beiber, Miley Cyrus, others win big at MTV EMA 2013<img alt="" class="size-full wp-image-163385" height="340" src="http://thenet.ng/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Mendler-Ellie-Miley-Cyrus-Iggy-Azalea-and-Eva-Simons.jpg" title="Mendler, Ellie, Miley Cyrus, Iggy Azalea and Eva Simons" width="400" /><br />

On Sunday November 10, the 2013 edition of MTV EMA was held at Ziggo Dome Amsterdam.<br /><br />Rapper Eminem topped the list with two wins, also nabbing Best Hip Hop artiste and thus securing an even stronger hold on his title as the artiste with the most EMAs ever. His surprise performance of ‘Berzerk’ made fans in the Ziggo Dome go exactly that – berserk! – as he unexpectedly emerged from a giant boombox mid-show, and demonstrated his lyrical dominance with a performance of ‘Rap God’.<br />
<a name='more'></a>Katy Perry picked up her first Best Female award, while Miley Cyrus won her first-ever EMA for Best Video for ‘Wrecking Ball‘.<br /><br />Bruno Mars was victorious in the Best Song category for ‘Locked Out Of Heaven’ and Justin Bieber kept his Best Male win streak going for a fourth straight year.<br /><br />Tokio Hotel fans rejoiced at the news that they helped their favourite band snag Biggest Fans, and Directioners everywhere celebrated as One Direction nabbed their first ever Best Pop EMA. Chris Lee of China kept Asia on top as she was named Best Worldwide Act; an artist from Asia has won the title in each of the three years the Worldwide Act award has existed.<br /><br />Check out for some more pictures below….<br />

Nigeria’s Super Eagles players John Mikel Obi and Victor Moses have both been shortlisted for the 2013 BBC African Footballer of the Year award.<br />

<br />
NET has reliably confirmed that Dapo ‘D’banj’ Oyebanjo has signed a multi-million Naira brand endorsement deal with Globacom Nigeria.<br />
<a name='more'></a>The Pop star has inked his second endorsement deal with the Nigerian telecommunications company after weeks of deliberations. D’banj now joins the likes of heavyweight contemporary musicians Psquare as well as recently unveiled ambassadors Naeto C, M.I, Lynxxx, Bez, Burna Boy, Flavour, Waje, Omawumi, and little known Chee.<br /><br />Insiders tell us the deal is ‘unbelievable’; with those familiar with details saying it may be one of the costliest signings of 2013. Exact figures were not immediately available. But NET learnt that just like his former deal with the company, this new ambassadorship will also come with added values, including an automobile, and major performance commitments.<br /><br />D’banj and Globacom fell out in 2010 when the pop singer reportedly refused to extend his initial 2008 N70M two-year contract. Glo was allegedly offering something less, far less than what Psquare got (the Pop twins signed a whooping N240M with the company in 2010).<br /><br />The whole trouble had however started back in 2008 when D’banj was replaced by Psquare after he allegedly demanded a N2M fee for every performance at the then GLO Campus Tour.<br /><br />But it’s three years later and plenty has changed.<br /><br />With GLO having lost the biggest names to competition, it’s understandable they’re reuniting with D’Banj, a true superstar with credible fan base, despite not having had a major fresh hit in years. And it’s a coup of sorts – as Etisalat had nearly reached an agreement with D’Banj to be one of their brand ambassadors. Etisalat is already in bed with top rappers Ice Prince and Olamide while there are rumours a 2face Idibia deal is also pending.<br /><br />MTN Nigeria is currently winning the brand ambassadorship war triggered by the recent mobile number portability policy. The market leader has all the star power in their nest with the likes of Don Jazzy, Wizkid, Davido, Iyanya, Tiwa Savage, KCEE and a few other prominent acts all repping ‘yello’.<br /><br />A rep from GLO ‘Charles’ tells us it is not in his place to talk about the signing. D’banj’s manager and Executive Director of DKM Group Tony Nwakalor did not pick or return our calls.<br /><br />‘D’banj signed with who?!‘, Spice, a rep for D’banj told our reporter, apparently surprised.<br /><br />It is expected that GLO will announce the deal in a matter of days. <br />Dapo Babalolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11167637168220315057noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202368377161377596.post-41722214989724272172013-11-08T19:03:00.000+01:002013-11-08T19:03:02.868+01:00‘His vision has not aligned with ours’, Mavin releases statement on Wande Coal’s exit<img alt="" height="266" src="http://thenet.ng/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Don-Jazzy-and-The-MAVINS.jpg" title="Don Jazzy and The MAVINS" width="400" /><br />
<br />
After several months of silence Mavin Records have finally released a statement over the exit of one of its prominent acts, Wande Coal.<br />
<a name='more'></a>Obviously triggered by the recent Twitter spat between the label’s boss Don Jazzy and Wande Coal, Mavin Records says Wande has indeed left the label, due to irreconcilable differences; alleging the chubby singer failed to ‘align’ with the company’s vision.<br /><br />‘It is with deep regret that we officially announce the departure of recording artist Wande Ojosipe, popularly known as Wande Coal, from Mavin Records due to irreconcilable differences.<br /><br />‘Over the past few months, Mavin Records has made a concerted move to consolidate its position in the Nigerian music industry. Mavin has pursued a renewed ethos to raise its standards of quality and professionalism to a world-class level. Wande’s vision has not aligned with ours and a few months ago all parties mutually agreed that a separation would be the best course of action‘, the statement read.<br /><br />It further stated that the legal teams of both sides had been trying to resolve musical property rights until Wande went ahead to release his new single ‘Baby face‘ allegedly owned by Don Jazzy.<br /><br />‘Legal parties on both sides have spent the past six months trying to reach an amicable solution in terms of musical property rights. However the decision by Wande Coal to release ‘Baby Face’ purportedly as his own material is a direct breach of intellectual property law and compelled an immediate clarification on our part. Both Mavin Records and Wande Coal have enjoyed a remarkable run in the course of their working relationship. It is unfortunate that conflicting priorities contributed to the premature curtailment of a hitherto fruitful accord.<br /><br />Mavin Records reaffirms its goal to constantly provide high quality music to our fans and introduce new and exciting talent into the industry. We wish Wande Coal the best of luck in all his future endeavours’, the statement ended.<br /><br /> Wande Coal has gone on to setup his own Black Diamond Entertainment with his second album already on the way. <br />Dapo Babalolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11167637168220315057noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202368377161377596.post-25621006707241283572013-11-08T19:02:00.000+01:002013-11-08T19:02:00.997+01:00Wande Coal finally joins list of Globacom ambassadors<img alt="Wande Coal" class="size-large wp-image-68978" height="266" src="http://thenet.ng/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Industry-Nite-With-General-Pype-41-600x400.jpg" width="400" /><br />
<br />
Wande Coal has joined the towering list of Globacom ambassadors, the Pop singer has confirmed this through his Twitter.<br />
<a name='more'></a>Wande who recently parted ways with former record label Mavin Records and launched his very own outfit Black Diamond Entertainment finally inked the deal today, November 8, 2013.<br /><br />‘Thank you to God the almighty & big thank u to my faithful fans for all your support through the years.I’m the newest Glo Ambassador in Town‘, he tweeted.<br /><br />Interestingly, Wande had been approached to sign with the telecoms company months ago. His reps told us back then that the Pop singer had not signed a deal. GLO had already designed promotional material and had released part of them when suddenly the deal fell through.<br /><br />Wande Coal is one of the new ambassadors the Mike Adenuga led company has signed to represent the brand through ad campaigns as they face tough competition from the likes of other telcos MTN Nigeria and Etisalat<br /><br />NET has also reliably confirmed that Dapo ‘D’banj’ Oyebanjo has signed a multi-million Naira brand endorsement deal with GLO. <br />

<br />
Wizkid‘s girlfriend Tania Omotayo says she was involved in a car accident which could have killed her.<br />
<a name='more'></a>The accident is said to have taken place on the ‘Third Mainland Bridge’. We are not sure if she was driving herself or in which direction she was going towards.<br /><br />Going to social network Twitter to narrate the scary ordeal, Tania revealed the vehicle she was in was speeding on the bridge when one of the car’s tires bust!<br /><br />‘We could have easily swerved off the bridge‘, Tania says. It is believed she is doing well.<br /><br />We tried reaching out to Wizkid’s camp to confirm if they were aware of the news, no response on that yet.<br />

<a name='more'></a>The Executive Director and Founder of the Africa International Film Festival, Chioma Ude, who made the announcement says Rita’s amazing achievement as a Nollywood actress as well as Lynn’s successful career in Hollywood were the key motives for choosing the two as the festival’s Goodwill Ambassadors.<br /><br />‘Rita Dominic is a consummate actress and indeed an African screen Icon, having won several awards and nominations throughout her career… With over one hundred films to her credit, she has played a pivotal role in showcasing Nigerian cinema popularly known as Nollywood.<br /><br />‘Lynn is a natural choice as AFRIFF Goodwill Ambassador not just for her accomplishments in Hollywood, but also because of her passionate support for the AFRIFF project since its inception,’ Ude explained.<br /><br />The third Edition of AFRIFF holds in Tinapa, Calabar from November 10 through November 16, 2013. <br />Dapo Babalolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11167637168220315057noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202368377161377596.post-40522516358058132052013-11-08T18:54:00.003+01:002013-11-08T18:54:57.592+01:00Clarence Peters’ mom Clarion Chukwura returns to acting<img alt="" class="size-full wp-image-48809 " height="400" src="http://thenet.ng/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Femi-Kuti-at-50-31.jpg" title="Clarion Chukwurah" width="265" /><br />
<br />
Nollywood actress, Clarion Chukwura is back on set with the movie ‘Hustlers’.<br /><br />In the Elvin Chuks movie, the veteran actress who’s the mother of director Clarence Peters, comes alive with the role of a materialistic mother who aims at using her daughter, Mercy Johnson Okojie to pave way out of poverty. Together with Nse Ikpe Etim, Mercy blends to her mother’s wish in the city life survival.<br /><br />The actress says the movie is challenging but irresistible. ‘I had already taken a break in the movie industry, when Elvis gave me a brief summary about the movie; I said in my mind that there is nothing challenging about it. Not until he brought the script and I read through it, I was amazed at the impeccable themes, characterization, plot and the rest, I couldn’t help but say yes’.<br /><br />Other cast members include IK Ogbonna, Chelsea Eze and Paul Sambo.

Tiwa Savage is not pregnant, at least that’s what she says.<br /><br />The Pop singer was as one of the music performers at comedian Tee-A‘s ‘Tymeout With Tee-A’ concert, on Sunday, November 3, 2013. Tiwa refuted the stories being reported by several blogs that she’s expecting baby number one.<br />
<a name='more'></a>When questioned by show host Tee-A about the report, Tiwa replied, ‘I think they got those stories because of (what happened) yesterday (Saturday)…and what happened was that I ate too much puff-puff that made my tummy bulge.’<br /><br />Rumours about Tiwa being pregnant started after a picture of the singer dressed in belly-fit outfit hit Instagram. Tiwa wore the dress to attend Annie Macaulay-Idibia‘s baby shower.<br /><br />The pop singer will be tying the knot with her fiance and manager Tunji ‘Tee Billz’ Balogun later this month.<br />

Speaking with NET in a telephone conversation, the recently-married entertainer says the pregnancy reports disgust her.<br /><br />‘I don’t understand how people just go ahead to write a story without confirming it. Before I got married, they said I was pregnant and that that was the reason for getting married. Now that I am married, they won’t allow me have peace in my marriage. My husband was the one who called my attention to the publication. Ask Seun Oloketuyi and Ali Baba who have seen me in recent times if I was looking pregnant to them’, Princess said.<br /><br />Princess and her hubby, Adeshola Jeremiah got married on May 8, 2013.

It is also indicated that only a few celebs will be invited for the wedding, particularly those in the A-list and B-list categories.<br /><br />On August 6, 2013, Peter proposed to Lola in a grand style, presenting her with a brand new Range Rover Evoque, bouquet of flowers, a hand written sign and a stunning diamond ring.<br /><br />Together, the couple have two children, four year old Cameron and nine months old Aliona.<br /><br />A surprise bachelorette party was held last night October 26, 2013 for Omotayo, attended by close friends.<br /><br />Check out more photos below…<br />
