Again, Lara Adeboye finds love

Lara Adeboye finds love

Lara Adeboye, wife of the late radio presenter and comedian, Gbenga Adeboye, has now found a new love. We gathered that the lady, who recently dumped her former lover, Alhaji Lukman Ajuwon, a top notch of the National Union of Road and Transport workers (NURTW) in Ifo Local Government, Ogun State, due to some irreconcilable differences, is now in love with a top staff member of the Ministry of Information, Ogun State.

According to a source, the man, simply known as Oluwole, lost his wife in an auto crash two years ago.

“The man is in his 40s and he has a daughter. He has been seen together on several occasions with the light-complexioned woman and they are so much in love with each other. In fact, Lara even confided in her friends that she might consider marriage again,” the source said.

The source further revealed that her children and relatives also liked the man and might support her if she decided to go ahead to marry him.
However, in a telephone chat, she said, “What else do you want me to say? Does my comment matter anymore when you already have your story? So, you can go ahead and write it.”

Update: “Terry G is okay” says Manager,

Terry G

Nigerians can now heave a slight sigh of relief. It would appear that all is well with Terry G and his House of Ginjah label mates, despite the accident that left his car a wreck at 3am this morning in Ogba, Ikeja.

Below is a message from Terry G’s manager just now circulated to members of the media updating the public on the singer’s situation.

“My people, no shaking at all!” The message reads. “This is to confirm that Terry G and some members of House of Ginjah actually had an accident in the early hours of today and to also confirm that they are all very ok now. We thank God for mercies. We will keep you all updated. Thanks for the love. Ayo”

Also, his PA, simply known as Uche, whose phone has been unavailable all day finally spoke with us and confirmed the incident. Sounding confused and almost at the point of tears, he stated that the singer is alive and well but is in a “critical condition”, although he would not disclose what hospital he has been admitted to.

Already, many have begun to draw analogies with the accident of rapper Da Grin, with entertainment entrepreneur and comedian Tee-A saying on Twitter, “Whatever happens, they must not take terry G to LUTH o!” It will be recalled that the late rapper was rushed to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital upon his accident also in the early hours of the morning and he passed away.

However, we can take a little comfort in the words of his manager: “They are all very ok now.”

BREAKING NEWS: Terry G In Terrible Car Crash!

Terry G is lucky to be alive, after a nasty accident that left his car badly damaged around 3AM today.

The singer-producer was on his way home, after hanging out with friends in Ikeja, Lagos, when he ran into the road demarcation around Chemiron, close to Sunday Market, in Ogba.

An eye witness tells us Terry was the one driving, and he was in the car with friends.

‘The car is gone’ our source says. ‘And Terry is in the hospital responding to treatment’.

No word yet on where he’s being treated. His mobile phone is off, his BlackBerry inactive. And although his manager assures us ‘everything is under control’; we have cause to worry because he is either unwilling to offer details on the singer’s whereabouts, or he just doesn’t have the details.

Two members of House of Ginjah who were riding with him are also believed to be undergoing treatment.

The car- A Toyota Camry – is now lying at the office of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA).

Why marriages of celebrities' crash ---Chidi Ihezie-Okafor

Chidi Ihezie-Okafor

She’s a talented, sultry actress, presenter and the CEO of Sochis Beauty Salon and Spa Center.

Married to a loving husband with two kids, Chidi Ihezie-Okafor has being in the Nigerian movie industry for 16 years. Her role in Billionaires Club in 2003 catapulted her into the limelight and since then, she has featured in countless movies including: My in-law, Deceiver, I’m in love, Fire on the mountain, 100% husband ---and many more.

In a recent chat with RITA OKAFOR, in her Akwonjo home, this Imo State born diva revealed the secret behind her successful marriage amidst several broken relationships of her colleagues, why she took a break from her acting career, her pet projects and other issues.
Ecerpts:

Busy year

This year, I have being very busy doing other things aside acting. That’s the major reason I have not featured in movies lately. You know, it’s not easy to be a wife, mother, actress, considering other roles attached to them. Honestly, it has been very challenging.

I had to reject some of the jobs that would take me outside Lagos, so I could devote more time to my kids and husband. Right now, they are my priorities; they come before any other thing, business, acting or whatever. I wouldn’t say I regret the break because the joy of seeing my kids grow around me is incomparable.

My in-laws love kids because they are not many in the family, so I intend to give them what they desire and deserve.This year was their year; I will surely bounce back early next year, by the grace of God. Many of my fans have being calling to know why I my face has been scarce in the entertainment industry. They thought I had quit acting. I have not; I just went for a short break.

Other projects

I have other projects at hand at the moment, so you see I am not just sitting at home, baby nursing.I was a presenter at Ogene T.V in Daarsat, alongside Florence Onuma. It is called Ejirimara. It’s a medium where we interview and chat with Igbo speaking celebrities in their local language.

Few months ago, I opened Sochis Beauty and Spa Center, where ladies could walk in and make their hair, nails, body massage, facials and other body beautifications. It has not being easy running the centre, but I thank God, because it has been wonderful so far.

I decided to try my hands on other things because I don’t want to depend solely on my acting career. Though my husband is up and doing, I am only trying to support him the little way I can. I really found the beauty center very helpful.

My husband & I

I got married to my husband 10 years ago and since then, we have been living together peacefully like brother and sister.
My husband is very understanding and supportive. He understands the nature of my job more than I do. Most times, I bring my scripts home to him and we go through them together, he also coaches me on how to go about it.

When I informed him of my plan to go into another business alongside acting, he gave me all the necessary assistance; financially, emotionally and otherwise. Our marriage is over a decade old now, yet it seems like yesterday, we have grown to be fonder of each other.

Why marriages of celebrities' crash

Most times people get married for the wrong reasons. Some women marry their husbands because of his fat account or his position. When the money is gone, that would be the beginning of their marital problems. Some may end up marrying the wrong man or woman.

Another major cause is pride. Some women are not submissive. Even the Bible gave the man authority over the woman and the women were told to be submissive to their husbands. But when the reverse is the case, what do you expect?

A marriage without God, is standing on sinking sands, anything could happen at anytime. My joy is that I am convinced that I married my own husband and not another person’s, that’s why my marriage is not shaking.

I try as much as I can to say sorry, even when my husband offends me, I would be the first to say sorry to him, just to make peace reign. Some women find that move very difficult to make.

One other thing we fail to understand is that the men like being in charge. So, you have to give them all the respect and authority they deserve if you want your marriage to last long.

Challenges

There is no work without challenges. Combing the roles of a wife, mother, actress and beauty shop C.E.O has not being easy. But my husband has been very supportive, both at home and in my shop. There are certain things he helps me to do. Since I don’t have a house help, my husband and I do most of our house chores together. Then, here in my shop, I have to be there always to attend to my numerous customers.

Although, I have staff that specialize in diverse positions but most times, my customers would want me to be there for them. Most especially my colleagues in Nollywood, they call to confirm my presence in the shop before they would come to patronize me.

I'll be back in Nollywood

Like I said earlier, by next year, I will surely bounce back to my acting career either as an actress or producer or both. I have missed going to locations to shoot because it’s lots of fun being with my colleagues acting and chatting. Most of my colleagues still come around to spend some time with me. I still enjoy few advantages as a celebrity. I go to parties or occasions and still enjoy the advantages of an actresses.

Quarrelsome actresses

Yes, I have heard much about the quarrels and backbiting dominating the Nigerian movie industry these days. But I am not involved. I greet whosoever comes my way. I often go to AGN (Actors Guild of Nigeria) office to know how they are faring. I don’t have problems or keep malice with anyone, be you an actress, producer, director or whoever.

I don’t’ have time to fight, quarrel or exchange words with anyone, because I strongly believe that what is for me will never pass me by.
If a particular role, is the problem I will leave for the person fighting over it, if God has stated that it would be for me, there is nothing that person would do to change that.

The movie that brought me to limelight, I didn’t drag it with anyone, so why now that I could still feature in as many movies as I want.
But the fact that I am gentle and easy going doesn’t meant that people should start stepping on my toes to know what I would do. As much as I would not fight you, I would make sure I tell you something that you will never stop thinking about.

Caught in the act

Meryl & Sheila

The whole of Africa has not stopped talking about the girl to girl act in the all star‘s house. A few days before Kenya‘s Sheila was kicked out of the Mnet‘s Big Brother Africa, she and Namibia‘s Meryl made out under the same bed for over 30 minutes as the rest of the housemates were out there in the jacuzzi. Meryl and Sheila kissed, touched and did all silly things as the barn mates watched every move they made under the sheets.

This left all the barn mates perplexed because they watched a lot going down between these two.

This hurt Hanningtion so much that he kept on saying ‘‘I knew it‘‘ and he added that he wants to go back to the house. Yacob said that was cool because they showed them what viewers are able to see.

Tatiana said that it looks like it is not the first time they were doing, it looks like they have been at it all this while.
