Mercy Johnson took off to Baltimore, United States, few weeks ago in anticipation of the birth of her second child and possibly her wedding anniversary as well as her birthday. The actress, who left heavily pregnant, was joined by her husband Monday for the triple celebration.

Omotola Okudero and her hubby, Arch. Olabode Okudero, have welcomed their first child together — a baby boy. The actress, who is also the daughter of late actor, Afolabi Afolayan (Jagua), was said to have birthed the baby in a private hospital in Lagos.

I’ve watched these two for a while, and even though I know one of them closely, they both have managed to keep their relationship under wraps and away from public eye. Budding actor and hunk, Gbenro Ajibade, has yanked himself off market, having decided to take the bold step of popping the big question to Osas Ighodaro in New York, beside the Statute of Liberty. He took to Instagram to share the news when she said “yes” to him, writing:

Four words fourteen letters that take forever to say. With you, these words are too important to let them have their way. You’ve had my back for endless days, known my habitual ways, seen my worst and STILL stood by me. Even when my best of friends deserted me and strings weren’t attached between us, you were there staying strong, inspiring, motivating and loyal to our friendship regardless of all my madness.I can say am forever grateful and I LOVE YOU in so many ways but none is clearer than committing my days..@officialosas grow old with me, for the best is yet to be…..#shesaidYES#AGE#GREATNESS#emojiemoji!

Nothing seems to be enough for him. He’s tried his hand on acting, rapping; and he even went ahead to start up a business. Now to further expand his business, Jim Iyke and his partners have decided to launch their own bottled water called, Burgeon Water. As his colleagues have recently been using the social media to announce political ambitions, he took to Instagram to announce his intention, giving fans a first look of the product and the  production factory. The message on the post: Henry and I, partners in #QuietRevolution #ComingSoon #BURGEONWATER #committedToWealth #SoGrateFulLord #Countdown begins #SupremeHustleModeActivated.

Piracy in the entertainment industry has been a thing of old now, even the body Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria (PMAN), has tried several times to deal with it. However, it becomes a thing of worry, more on the part of the directors/producers/owners of the movie whose time, physical and financial investments are wasted. They are the ones who lose the most. One of such is actor, film-maker Saidi Balogun, who came out to publicly reveal that his highly-anticipated movie, You or I, has been pirated. Balogun, who says he is now heavily indebted to his creditors, wonders how the pirates pulled their act off, as the movie marketers were very careful.

“You or I’ has been pirated. I am in serious debt now,” he lamented.

“The marketer of the movie, Adikaz and I are confused at the moment because we’re yet to come to terms with how the evil deed was done despite being very careful. Those pirates have wreaked their havoc again. It’s painful, very sad. I am not happy at the moment. All my labour and resources hare a waste.”
