Desperate Housewives Coming To Lagos! Popular American television comed drama- mystery series, Desperate Housewives is to get an African remake. According to Nigerian network EbonyLife, they have joined forces with Disney to give the award winning show an African adaptation. The show is reportedly still in the development stages and is scheduled for a 2014 debut on the channel which reaches 44 countries on the African continent. According to ebonylifetv.com, the show will feature a pan-African cast and will be set in Lagos, Nigeria, where it will also be shot. "We are going to give the stories an African flavor. We will localize it, because there's nothing that the West has that Africa doesn't have: we love, we fight, we kiss, we make up. We like all the good things in life. There's good and there's evil globally," Mo Abudu, CEO and Executive Chairman of EbonyLife TV was quoted saying. The original US show, which starred big names such

Exceptionally brilliant TV talk show host Funmi Iyanda has finally opened up about how Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) shut down her live shows after she interviewed openly gay Nigerian man, Bisi Alimi, on her popular breakfast show, New Dawn, in 2004, I remember this story pretty well. After Bisi Alimi appeared on that show his life changed forever. He couldn’t even return to UNILAG where he was a student at the time. He was forced to go into hiding and eventually relocated abroad. Read Funmi’s story after the cut… It’s a good thing my meddling mum took Musibau off his alcoholic dad just before that wretch of a father was sent to jail for Molesting a minor. My mother went missing a year later so I never saw Musibau again but that’s another story. He was 15 but he looked 12, l was seven but l looked 10. People generally looked weird in my neighbourhood, but nobody thought anyone one weird – odd maybe but life was odd wasn’t it? Musibau was the first to r

It's getting hotter and confusing to learn why and what caused his tweets yesterday... He literally can't work as an artist until he sorts things out with Choc-City. Apparently his former record label Chocolate City through their law firm, L & A legal Consultants on Monday October 21st got an injunction against him, 'restraining him from recording, releasing, distributing any composition, song, musical works or carrying out any activity as a recording or performing artist through or for the benefit of any person or organisation other than Chocolate City pending the determination of the suit against him.(What an unbearable conditional rules for a talented artist) Chocolate City says Brymo's contract ends 2016...

(Kickback is a form of negotiated bribery in which a commission is paid to the bribe-taker for services rendered) Bellow is how Sahara reporter is reporting the bribery incident... Even as the minister of aviation began a new spin today that the BMW armored cars purchased by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) for her use were done on "hire-purchase", SaharaReporters has unearthed new details about the $1.6 million spent by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority to purchase the armored BMW cars for Nigeria's Aviation Minister Stella Oduah. A highly reliable source has told SaharaReporters that the shady deal for the car was done entirely between Coscharis Motors Limited, a dealership from which the cars were purchased, one of Ms. Oduah’s private firms based in Abuja, and First Bank of Nigeria. “The NCAA was not even aware of the deal until the minister told them to sign that they had received two BMW cars,” said our source. After inking t

It is obvious that kanye west on his YEEZUZ tour...has brought on stage 'Jesus's Look alike', which has raised many uproar and too many questions in mind of Christians world wide... Bellow is what he thinks about it as he tells Wild 94.9 in San Fransico... "I had a friend of mine that is a pastor and we were discussing how we were going to deliver it. My girl even asked afterwards “isn’t that weird if Jesus comes on stage or something like that?” No we do plays all the time where people play Jesus. What’s awesome about Christianity is that we are allowed to portray God. "We'e allowed to draw an image of Him."he said. We’re allowed to make movies about Him...Other religions you can’t do that.Michelangelo did it…It’s a painting, it’s a sculpture, it’s a moving opera, it's a play, it’s a message. I’m not even going to do any comparisons with that. God knows where my heart is at." Who cares or believes him?...what has his style

Thisday Foreign and Diplomatic Editor, Mr. Paul Ohia, was found dead yesterday October 22nd in his official car, a white Kia Optima along Marine Road, Apapa, Lagos. According to eyewitness reports, the deceased had parked his car for several hours by the side of the road, which aroused the suspicion of passersby, prompting them to move closer to check on him. The eyewitnesses said the deceased had reclined the driver's seat and lay on it as if he was sleeping; until they opened the car doors to find out that he was motionless and lifeless. The sympathizers who noticed the Thisday sticker on the windshield of the car called Thisday office, informing them of the tragic incident. Thisday staff and the police moved Mr. Ohia to Lagoon Hospital in Apapa where he was confirmed dead. Although, the hospital said an autopsy would determine the actual cause of death, the medical doctor on duty said the deceased might have died of cardiac arrest. Ohia is survived by a

It takes those who dig deep into politics and it issues to found out what caused the breach of relationship between Obama's Family and Oprah Winfrey... Bellow is an article from N.Y Magazine... “All of Oprah’s top people thought she would go, because when the president invites you to the White House, most people automatically say yes,” said one of Oprah’s closest advisers. “But Oprah said she didn’t have the time or inclination to go. It wasn’t like she had to think it over. It was an immediate, flat-out, unequivocal no.” Instead, Oprah sent a low-level rep from one of her talent agencies, which was regarded as a insult. Obama had been counting on Oprah’s immense persuasive powers to help enroll millions in ObamaCare. But as the rollout turned into a disaster, Oprah didn’t lift a finger to help. The story of why Oprah has changed her tune and gone AWOL on ObamaCare goes well beyond mere gossip. It speaks volumes about the convergence of celebrity and poli

Ja Rule dined like a king during his 2-year stint in prison ... saying he barely touched the crappy cafeteria food -- 'cause he cooked his own grub instead. J.R. was cruising Midtown in NYC when he admitted the chow hall food at Ray Brook Federal Prison "isn't very good" --so he barely ate it. Luckily the 37-year-old claims he and his cellmates were able to cook in their dorm ... and the food was "decent enough." Among the highlights -- cheesecake and lasagna.

I don't exactly know how to believe this...but why should such allegations be given a chance to rise?. Despite the fact that no one is perfect,I begin to wonder what really killed the Igbo Rap Machine(MC LOPH)...cuz in a publication that surfaced online some months earlier...his record label boss was accused of having a hand in his death,along with his sister while coming from Lagos to Enugu where his wedding would have took place... To Flavour!...where were all the love you showed with your hit tribute'IWE'...? Anyway,bellow is an article I found on   Punch  news online... A Nigerian lady, Bianka Johnson, who resides in the United State of America claimed that high-life singer Flavour abandoned his childhood’s friend, MC Loph, mother till her death. Johnson claimed that although she got the late woman’s contact from Flavour, she was shocked when she was informed that the singer never kept in touch with her. The lady also indicted Emeka Morgan, the CEO of Morg

Last time Olawale Ashimi, popularly known as Brymo was in the news, it was about his fallout with his former record label, Chocolate City. While the label accused him of insubordination, the singer claimed that the label breached his contact and did not give him time to work on his album.Right now, the son of a carpenter is set to release his new album which he recorded independently. When Saturday Beats contacted the singer, his phone was switched off but his manager, Lanre Lawal, told Saturday Beats that the dark-skinned singer has since moved on with his life. “As it is, we are moving forward and not looking back; we are okay and moving on. As it is, we are trying to keep the Brymo versus Chocolate city issue from the public. This album is a make or mar situation,” he said. Saturday Beats learnt that the artist intentionally hid from the public to work both in the studio and the gym. His recent photos show that the young man has been working out. It was gath

In what is a clear departure from the norm, the presidency has ordered all government functionaries to desist from addressing President Goodluck Jonathan as the “Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria” at non- military functions. The directive is contained in a strongly worded October 14 circular, No SGF/OP/1/ S.3/X/664, by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Pius Anyim. The memo, obtained by Premium Times, Thursday, was addressed to the Chief of Staff and Deputy Chief of Staff to the President, ministers, heads of ministries, departments, agencies and parastatals, the leadership of the National Assembly, and government-owned companies.

Davido had earlier in the week, claimed the ‘Skelewu’ video which went viral on the Internet, was leaked and not the official video of the song, Sesan, the ‘leaked’ video director, has frowned at Davido’s claims. Sesan, in a statement released by his team, said Davido was pleased with the video when he watched it. The music director stated that he found it immature and irresponsible for his client to publicly put out a false statement. “My attention is drawn toward the chaos surrounding the release of the Skelewu video. I and my team shot the video for Davido in Nigeria and to the best of my knowledge, my client and his team were very happy with the result, when they watched and approved the video. “If he has since had a change of heart, that is okay. I am not in any way responsible for the release of the video. I believe Davido and myself did a very good job regarding the video production and as a professional of over 10 years. I find it very irresponsible a

President Goodluck Jonathan has approved the appointment of a Fellow of the Nigerian Academy of Science and a former director- general of National Mathematical Centre, Prof. Anya. O.

Tmz Adrian Peterson baby mama #2 Erica Syion left out one HUGE detail when she said the NFL star has taken good financial care of his kids -- back in April, TMZ has learned, she sued his ass for $52,032 in unpaid child support and other child-related bills. Erica --who has a 4-year-old son with Adrian -- went on "TMZ Live" Wednesday, claiming AP dutifully pays his child support on time. But that wasn't the case earlier this year. We've learned Erica filed court docs, claiming Peterson failed to pay child support for three straight years, and also failed to reimburse her for their son's travel expenses and school tuition -- a bill that totaled $52,032. There must have been some bad blood after that -- because Erica filed additional docs in July, asking the court to order Peterson not to trash talk her in front of their son, and not to hide their son from her. But it was all resolved in September -- according to court docs, the two reached a settlement ... wh

Selena Gomez is still torn up about her ex, Justin Bieber -- or she's a really good actress ... that's the only explanation for her sappy and tear-filled performance last night in Brooklyn.Selena started sobbing and weeping near the end of her ballad, "Love Will Remember" -- which is widely believed to be about the Biebs ... partially because the original leaked version of the song featured a voicemail Justin left for Selena.Here's the thing ... fans have said Selena also cried while performing the same song the night before.She also goes into an emotional thank you to her fans, but since turning on the waterworks seems to be her thing -- we gotta ask ...Here's something Selena should really be crying about -- this awesome moment from "The View" this morning ... when the ladies intro'd her to start singing, and ... well, watch what happens.

Famed director Michael Bay almost got clobbered by what appears to be a drugged out crazy who swung an air conditioner at his head on the set of "Transformers 4."The incident occurred today in Hong Kong. The attacker somehow made it on the set, accosted several members and then set his sights on Bay. When Bay realized what was up, he saw the crazy man swinging an air conditioner right at his noggin. Bay then wrestled the unit out of the attacker's hands and security quickly subdued him.There are reports out that Bay was injured by 2 men on the set -- untrue.

A Nigerian woman named as Rev Dr Tina Beloveth Powerful, who runs a 'Havard University' from a flat in Milton Keynes, is being sued by American Havard University over trademark infringement. Dr Powerful's business school, founded in 2010, is called Havard School of Management and Technology and is being run from a city center flat in North Third Street in CMK. The Milton Keynes Trading Standards department and the UK police are currently investigating Dr Powerful and the school. The MKTS department recently revealed that the UK Harvard school does not have accreditation for courses it claims to run. The school claims to offer a number of higher education courses in business, computing, law, management, and Bible Studies and also claims the awarding body for its Diploma & Advanced Diploma in Administrative Management is The Institute of Administrative Management (IAM) but IAM has denied this, saying the school has not been accredited by them.

Rihanna is moving into a swanky $14 mil apartment in NYC -- after fleeing L.A. in the wake of two break-ins at her West Coast home -- but she's not giving up on L.A. entirely. The 4600 sq. ft. penthouse apartment is in a luxury building in SoHo. Rihanna's renting it for 39k a month, but the crib was recently on the market -- with a $14.6 mil asking price. The 2-story home is stark white...with 13' ceilings, concrete floors and views of the Empire State Building, and the NY skyline. We're told Rihanna will still keep a place in LA -- NOT the Palisades home that was burglarized -- but will spend most of her time in NYC.

Adrian Peterson fathered a 4th child -- his 2nd secret child -- and the mother was a waitress at a popular Minnesota nightclub,Tmz has learned. We've confirmed...the child is a 3-month-old little girl who's living with her mom in Minnesota. Sources close to the situation tell us the child's last name on her birth certificate is listed as "Peterson."On the day Peterson's 2-year- old son Ty passed away, the mother of AP's 4th child posted an emotional message on her Facebook page about the situation. "Today has been a long day finding out my [daughter's] brother passed away and knowing that she never even got to meet him. "Sources connected to the situation tell us ... the mother of AP's 4th child first met the NFL star while serving him as a VIP waitress at a place called Seven -- a steakhouse, sushi joint and ultralounge all wrapped in one. It's unclear how involved Adrian has been in the child's life -- b

Soulja Boy just got nailed with a lawsuit over an alleged hit-and-run in an accident involving his very expensive Bentley. We broke the story says Tmz ...one of S.B.'s friends-- Abrahim Mustafa--was cruising around in the Bentley in January when the car slammed into a motorcycle. The impact sent Gabor Turi flying off his bike...causing some pretty nasty injuries...and the Bentley sped off into the Hollywood darkness. Cops didn't make an arrest until May...after a friend of Turi's nosed around the site of the impact and found a valet at Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles who ID'd the Bentley and knew Soulja owned it. Here's the problem for Soulja. In California, the owner of a vehicle who gives someone permission to drive is responsible when the driver screws up.Thus the lawsuit. 

Justin Bieber might be pissed his new music video leaked today...but the Chinese embassy couldn't be happier -- telling TMZ, the video will bring tons of money to China in the form of tourism. As you may or may not know, Bieber's music video for "All that Matters" -- which he filmed on the Great Wall of China -- leaked onto the Internet yesterday. The video itself is whatever, but a rep for the local Chinese embassy tells us, it's sure to make the Great Wall an even more popular tourist destination... which means more money in China's pocket.Makes sense, but then the embassy rep said something crazy... She said Justin's trip up the Wall officially makes him a man...according to an old Chinese saying that goes something like, "Without climbing up the Great Wall, you will not be a true man. "So here's our problem ... as hard as it is for us to believe that Bieber will ever breach manhood, it's even harder to believe
