'I like a girl to dress classier' Sofia Vergara's ex Nick Loeb slams her

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 12:16 PM PDT

They dated from 2010 until May 2014, but according to Nick Loeb, actress Sofia Vergara was never his type. And you wonder why he stayed with her that long and even proposed to her. In a new interview with New York Post, the 39 year old businessman (pictured left) slammed his ex-fiancee's choice of dresses, saying he preferred women who dressed classier.
"I'm sort of conservative, so I like a girl to dress a little classier." Loeb said.
Sofia, 42, is known to regularly wear clothes that show off her cleavage, so when NYP asked Loeb if he liked Vergara-style cleavage, he said;
"No. I've always sort of liked the more classic, elegant look on a woman." Ouch!

Washington Post slams GEJ for using the #bringback hashtag for campaign

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 11:13 AM PDT


Below is what Washington Post wrote about president Jonathan's supporters using the #bringback hashtag for his campaign
It was the social media campaign of the year. #BringBackOurGirls awoke the world to the ravages of Boko Haram, an al-Qaeda-linked terror group in Nigeria, and the plight of the millions of people who live in the midst of their insurgency. At the heart of the message were hundreds of missing schoolgirls, abducted in April from the remote village of Chibok by Boko Haram fighters, who vowed to make them into slaves. Continue...
The #BringBackOurGirls hashtag channeled both sympathy from abroad and local outrage and concern in Nigeria, with many angry at the government of President Goodluck Jonathan for being unable to free the captured women.
But four months later, the girls have yet to be brought back despite the efforts of the Nigerian military as well as U.S. counter-terrorism forces deployed in neighboring Chad. More than 200 girls remain missing in suspected Boko Haram captivity. Others have perished from snakebite, illness and deprivation in the wild.

Boko Haram itself has continued its slaughter this summer, and seized more territory in the country's restive northeast. Over the weekend, it stormed towns along Nigeria's border with Cameroon, killing dozens of innocents.

Nigerian forces are now fighting Boko Haram in pitched battles around Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state, the main hotbed of Boko Haram's operations. The U.N. reports that at least 1.5 million people have been displaced by the conflict since Jonathan's government declared a state of emergency in May.

But the gravity of the moment hasn't stopped some in Nigeria from appropriating the tragic hashtag for rather cynical purposes. Banners emerged in the capital Abuja over the weekend showing Jonathan alongside a new slogan: #BringBackGoodluck2015. The campaign appears to be the work of supporters of the president, keen for his reelection in presidential polls next February. It's not clear whether Jonathan has officially endorsed the new hashtag, but its seeming ubiquity suggests that he is not opposed to it.

MattMax reaffirms his love for his new wife, says nothing can come between them

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 10:28 AM PDT

If I tried to explain what people claim is going on between popular music video director Matt Max and his new wife, make-up artist Eniola Efunkoya of Awele Beauty, most of you won't understand. But the short story is, Matt Max friends are not happy that he married her. They said he cut everyone off after he started dating Eniola...and then some other guy came out to claim he's married to her (See that here). Anyway MattMax says nothing can ever separate him from his new wife! Case closed!

Tyga denies dating 17 year old Kylie Jenner, says he hates blogs

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 09:36 AM PDT

A few hours after MediaTakeOut reported that rapper Tyga is dating the youngest Kardashian sister, Kylie Jenner, he quickly took to twitter to deny the reports, because Kylie is 17, and under California law, that is illegal. See the MTO report after the cut...


One of MediaTakeOut.com's TOP SNITCHES tells us that last night, rapper Tyga had a romantic dinner for two - inside the TOP BEVERLY HILS restaurant Phillipe Chow. This is NOT RUMOR y'all it's FACTS!!!
According to our insider, the two immediately went to the back of the restaurant - where CELEBS and VIPs usually eat - and tried to hide from the rest of the diners. But our insider managed to SNEAK BACK by their booth and saw the two holding hands and the two were "extremely touchy and all up in each other's mouths." Our spy claims that he even saw Tyga lean in and appeared to KISS HER.
WOW . . . as we told you - the AGE OF CONSENT in California is 18 yaesr old. So if Tyga tries any FUNNY BUSINESS . . . that's a FELONY!

New OMO Fast Action Excites Consumers

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 09:58 AM PDT

Two months after its successful launch, the New OMO Fast Action has been delighting consumers across the country with easy washing experience and wonderful gifts.

Consumers who have had a first-hand experience of the detergent said they are excited with OMO Fast Action based on the efficacy of the OMO detergent. Continue...
 
They disclosed this in the ongoing visits of OMO Ambassadors and Nollywood celebrities, Funke Akindele, Chioma Akpotha and Ali Nuhu to neighbourhoods and markets across the country.

Badariya Musa, a student, said "The top of my School Uniform is white. As a student, it is hard to maintain white. Before now I have laid my hands on different detergents to wash off the stains and I'm yet to be satisfied with their ability to give me desired result.
 "Now, I have gotten an answer to the long washing period I have with my laundries especially my whites. I was pleased when I tried the New OMO Fast Action and discovered that it removes tough stains faster, leaving my cloth whiter."

Consumers have been winning various prizes in the ongoing neighbourhood and market storms by the New OMO Fast Action Ambassadors; Funke Akindele, Ali Nuhu and Chioma Akpotha have been knocking on doors and visiting markets with basket full of goodies, rewarding loyal customers with various prizes ranging from Plasma TV, Iron, Toaster, Washing Machine and so on.





The consumers have been actively demonstrating and experiencing the power of the New OMO Fast Action alongside the celebrities: Funke Akindele has visited neighbourhoods and markets in Lagos and Ilorin where she interacted and handed free sample of New OMO to consumers. Her next visit will be in Osun State this September where she will pay surprise door-to-door visits and storm markets to reward consumers.



Ali Nuhu has toured Sokoto, Kebbi and Niger States delighting consumers in the North. His presence pulled a huge crowd who were eager to share Ali Nuhu's experience with New OMO. His next visit will be in Abuja this week.




Another Ambassador, Chioma Akpotha, having visited Abia State will be in Owerri this week to delight and reward loyal consumers.    


To be part of it, follow Chioma Akpotha on her Instagram @chiomakpotha and @omo_detergent, Funke Akindele @funkejenifaakindele and @omo_detergent, and Ali Nuhu @realalinuhu and @omo_detergent.

Pray for me: Mike Awoyinfa's tribute to Dimgba Igwe

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 09:07 AM PDT

The Mike Awoyinfa tribute on Dimgba Igwe that everyone has been waiting for is here. Mike, (right) and late Dimgbe Igwe (left), who died on Saturday Sept. 6th, were best friends and both pioneered the now rested Weekend Concord newspaper and Sun Newspaper. Find his touching tribute below..
This is it!  The most unimaginable nightmare!  This is it!  The most painful column I have ever written or will ever write.  The column I wished I never wrote.  The agonizing column.  The column written amidst sorrow, tears and blood.  Please, pray for me." Continue...
More than any time in my life, I need prayers.  Prayer is the only healing balm for me now.  Prayer is the only thing that can save me from these troubled waters, from this ocean of sorrow threatening to consume me. I write with a heart brimful with sadness.  By the Orwell River in Ipswich, England, where I am sitting, I am scribbling these painful words.  By the time you are reading this, I should be home to face the shocking reality.   
You know why I am writing, you Father of the fatherless, you Creator of all things good and bad, you giver of life and taker.  You gave him to me, now you have taken him.  You gave me a friend and a brother.  Now, you have taken both. Who will be my friend?  Who will be my brother? 
Sadness is now my name.  Sadness like those missing girls stolen from us in the middle of the night and taken into captivity.  Sadness is the tattoo mark emblazing my face like Mike Tyson's facial tattoo.  I have been reading Mike Tyson's bizarre memoir: MIKE TYSON, UNDISPUTED TRUTH, MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY and I was planning to write on it.  But I am compelled to jettison that to write this sad column. 
Oh, my God!  You know why I am sad.  My best friend is gone.  My twin brother is gone.  A good man is gone.  A generous man is gone.  A man who gave all his life serving God and journalism is gone.  A man who is the other part of me is gone.  Dimgba Igwe is gone.  What will I do now?  Who will I turn to now? Who?
Why must all my friends and heroes in journalism die so cruelly, landing on the front page?  My editor Dele Giwa died the same way: killed dastardly through a letter bomb on October 19, 1986.  And up till today, the riddle of his death remains unsolved.  It has become "a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma," to use a phrase by Winston Churchill.  Like Giwa, Dimgba Igwe in the throes of death was crying: "I don't want to die."  For four hours, he was bleeding on the road to Golgotha.  No ambulance.  No oxygen mask.  No Samaritan hospital.  From St. Raphael Hospital to the General Hospital Isolo where there was no surgeon to attend to him, it was the story of Nigeria's systemic failure as a country.  He finally gave up at Lagos State University Hospital, Ikeja.  
If I am angry at all, it is not with the bloody coward who killed him and fled in panic.  I will forgive the hit-and-run killer.  And the Dimgba Igwe I know, will forgive the man who killed him.  What I cannot forgive is a nation with health institutions that can do nothing, once your life is in danger.  It's the same story all over Nigeria.  Of course, you know that once you are taken to LUTH on emergency, you are as good as dead.  And this is a country without a functional 911 which you dial in emergency and get help.  Only in Nigeria will you commit this heinous crime and vanish.  In a civilized country, the killer would have been caught on camera.  The security agents would have tracked the car down.  Not so in Nigeria. 
I remember the sad death of my other Sunday Concord friend May Ellen Ezekiel whose death in a Lagos hospital shook the nation.  Dimgba Igwe and I were at the helm in Weekend Concord where he was my deputy.  The best decision I ever took in life was to choose Dimgba Igwe as my deputy.  He complemented me in every way.  Now, he is gone.
Like everyone else, I am confused.  I am lost.  Please, pray for me.  More than any time in my life, I need prayers. Lots of them.  Because I don't know how I can cope without my friend, my business partner, my co-author, my soul mate, my chief critic. He was the voice of restraint—always fearing for my life, because of my constant prone to accidents.  I remember an accident in Paris, when I stumbled, crashed on the street and seriously injured my arm in the bid to protect my camera and photos. Dimgba Igwe was there for me when I was down and out in Paris.  And at the Golden Tulip, where we had lodged to write Governor Fashola's biography, I had another accident in the night after my writing, resulting in a deep cut on my lower and upper lips.  Again, Dimgba and the hotel medical staff quickly rushed me to hospital where I was told I could have bled to death, if the broken glass had cut my throat.  You read it all in this column!
Against this backdrop, I was the one more prone to death.  In his last interview, Dimgba Igwe told YES INTERNATIONAL MAGAZINE how he nicknamed me "Iniquity Man" because I won't sit in one place.  As his twin brother four years older, I used to imagine a future where two of us would be old and I would die first and Dimgba would be there, paying me tributes, looking back at the lives we lived.  But alas, the imagined future is dead and Dimgba is gone in his prime. 
The Dimgba I know was a kind man who didn't deserve this cruel death.  If anything, he would have hated this big embarrassment of being on front page, killed doing what he loved best: jogging.  He believed the best way to prolong life is by exercising, by running and pumping oxygen into the heart.  He was the one who introduced me to jogging.  And for more than 10 years, I have been jogging with him.  Our houses are next to each other on that God-forsaken Dele Orisabiyi Street in Okota which has not for once seen any government repairing it in years.  Recently after returning from a first-time trip to Banana Island where he had gone to visit our friend, Elder Ekeoma whose daughter was marrying, Dimgba Igwe had an epiphany.  He was so sad that he would be leaving the well-tarred streets of Banana Island and be returning home to that hell of a street in Okota.  "Ogbeni, we must work harder and have a place in Banana Island," he told me.  Dimgba was a hard-working man, a visionary who should have lived long to reap the fruits of his toil.  The greatest honour that the Lagos State government can do in memory of my departed friend is to tar his street.  I am sure even the inhabitants wouldn't mind if the street is renamed Dimgba Igwe Street after this great son of Nigeria—if the road is tarred for his sake.  That would make him happy in his grave.  That was what he yearned for and even begged our friend, the governor who gave us his word that he would assist.   
Every morning, we run on that bad road.  I couldn't join him last Saturday because I was in the UK with my family for my son's graduation—a day I was looking forward to with the pride and joy of a father.  Dimgba opted to stay and take care of the home front while I was away.  Somehow, I feel guilty.  If I had known it will end this way, I would have taken my beloved brother along. 
Pastor Igwe must have prayed that morning.  His first act at the break of every new day is to go on his knees.  He sings in praise of God, blesses the name of the Lord, speaks in tongue and prays for the Lord to deliver him from all evils.  But on that Black Saturday, the devil struck.  On the eve of his death, I had called him from Ipswich and told him the books I had bought for him.  Books like JFK's Last Hundred Days, by Thurston Clarke, The Virgin Way, by Richard Branson, God is not a Christian, by Desmond Tutu and an epic book on the history of Jerusalem from the days of David up to the current day.  He was so excited.  He was waiting for the books.  He loved books.  Now, the evil forces have brought him to book. 
Adieu, my friend, my brother.  Like King David mourned his friend Jonathan, I cry: "How have the mighty fallen!  Tell it not in Gath.  Publish it not in Ashkelon."  For a great man of journalism has passed away. Our latest book is a book called 50 World Editors, featuring conversations with editors around the world whom we met in the course of our travels.  We were planning to launch it, but see me now! 
This morning, I came across the New Men's Devotional Bible you gave me on my 60th birthday.  Oh, you really tried on my 60th birthday and I was looking forward to celebrating in grand style your own 60thbirthday.  But, see me now! 
In the Bible you gave me, you wrote: "Ogbeni, be strong in the Lord and the power of His might." (Ephesians 6: 10) 
My friend, I will be strong in the Lord.  I will fly the flag and search for heaven that you so much cared about.  Ogbeni, thank you.  Good night and enjoy your freedom.

Ray Rice's wife speaks following release of elevator video, defends him

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 10:13 AM PDT

This is the problem with some domestic violence victims. They stay with abusive men and worse still excuse their behavour. A day after a video showing how her husband punched, knocked her out and dragged her from an elevator was released, (read here) Janay Rice took to instagram to address the issue, defending her husband and calling out the media.

Her husband, former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice, did not only lose his job after the video was released, there's a petition to ban him from the NFL and possibly arrest him.

Janay talks about how the release of the video has practically ruined their lives. 
I woke up this morning feeling like I had a horrible nightmare, feeling like I'm mourning the death of my closest friend. But to have to accept the fact that it's reality is a nightmare in itself. No one knows the pain that the media and unwanted options from the public has caused my family. To make us relive a moment in our lives that we regret every day is a horrible thing. To take something away from the man I love that he has worked his ass of for all his life just to gain ratings is horrific. This is our life! What don't you all get. If your intentions were to hurt us, embarrass us, make us feel alone, take all happiness away, you've succeeded on so many levels. Just know we will continue to grow and show the world what real love is! Ravensnation we love you!"

OJB Jezreel talks about the car accident he had a few weeks ago

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 06:26 AM PDT

Some of you don't know this, but singer/producer OJB Jezreel was involved in a car accident a few weeks ago that left the friend riding with him in a hospital for three whole weeks

Speaking about it for the first time, OJB explains what happened to Encomium magazine
"I was coming from Abeokuta with a friend in his car. I think they didn't tighten the bolt of the tyre very well. By the time we were around Mowe, the tyre gave way and the car tumbled and the glass scattered. My friend was seriously injured. I was also injured but not as badly. After the accident, I couldn't walk very well. I was treated and a few weeks I had to walk around with a stick. I dropped the stick three days ago. I'm a lot better now.
The things that have been happening from the surgery to the accident, it is God. Some people would have died if they had gone through all that I have gone through but God has been gracious to me."

Weeping pilot tells terrified passengers to brace for a crash landing at sea after plane suffers engine failure

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 05:57 AM PDT

Terrified passengers on a flight across Europe feared they were moments away from death after one of the plane's engine's failed in mid-air. After an emergency was declared by the flight crew, the plane's 'weeping' pilot warned holidaymakers that they had six minutes before they would crash, a passenger says.

Travellers were ordered to put on their life jackets and brace for a water landing during the charter flight from Split, Croatia to Nantes, France. Continue...




Tourist Benjamin Girard described the harrowing experience aboard the Europe Airpost flight, saying passengers were 'crying and screaming' in horror as the aircraft was in danger of crash landing in the Adriatic Sea on 23 August.

The drama ended when the Boeing 737 landed safely in Venice, Italy, and now the airline is downplaying the incident.

Mr Girard, who was travelling with his wife and daughters, said the ordeal began shortly after take-off when the pilot told passengers to prepare for turbulence.

He said: 'Then people at the back of the plane said one engine had stopped working, and this was soon confirmed by the pilot. He said we would have to make an emergency landing in Venice, and joked it would be a great chance to visit the city.'

Passengers were not amused and the pilot soon told them to put on their life jackets and remove any jewellery.
Mr Girard said: 'He said we would have to make a crash landing at sea and warned us there could be an explosion. Everyone was terrified, even the cabin crew. One steward was in a state of total panic and another just went pale and silent.
He added: 'When the pilot next came on he was crying. He said we had six minutes before we would crash, but that we should not panic. People were screaming out at the back of the plane.'

After several terrifying minutes, the twin-engine aircraft finally 'bumped down' at the seaside Venice Marco Polo Airport with no injuries, Mr Girard added. 

Europe Airpost acknowledged that there was 'panic on board' but insists passengers' safety was not at risk.
A spokesman said in a statement: 'The flight from Split to Nantes experienced an incident with an engine. This was identified by the crew who took the decision to land in Venice and inform the passengers.
'It was a procedure practised by the crew, who landed the plane safely in Venice.'

Actor Bob Manuel-Udokwu to contest for House of Assembly seat in 2015

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 04:13 AM PDT

In an interview with Encomium magazine, actor, Bob Manuel-Udokwu revealed plans to contest for a seat at the Anambra state House of Assembly in the 2015 general elections under APGA. Bob is the current special adviser to Anambra state Governor on Nollywood and Entertainment.
"I have been in politics since I was given the role of the special adviser on Nollywood and Entertainment in Anambra state under the leadership of this present administration. If you mean I am contesting for a post in the Anambra state House of Assembly, Yes I am interested in vying for a political position in 2015 general elections in Anambra state House of Assembly to represent Idemili North Constituency 1. I want to go to the grassroots" he said
Bob says he sees nothing wrong in Nigerian entertainers venturing into Politics as most of their US counterparts have also done same
"People ask that a lot. Why are people raising eyebrow on it. A lot of people from other sectors have also gone into politics. There shouldn't be an exception. In the US, a lot of entertainers are into politics. Why are journalist always asking this question? We are often called political actors. I don't see anything wrong in entertainers going into politics. I am proud I put Nigeria on the world map as an actor. There is nothing bad in it if I do that in politics as well" he said
Asked who will sponsor him as politics involves a lot of money, the actor said
"Even when you shoot a movie, you need money for it as well. For me, it is not about the financial implication, it is the end result. We need to give hope to younger people. Let those who are sane, people who have been tested go in. I have been tested in the industry, I believe I am up to the task. Money has a role no doubt but we should not forget the end result" he said
