  • Femi Otedola roots for daughter

    Femi Otedola roots for daughter

    This month enjoys the unique feature of ushering quite a number of bigwigs into the league of the golden age. Leading the pack is Senator Teslim Folarin who will clock age 50 on October 30. Information at the disposal of Celeb Watch indicates that some of his friends are planning to make the day a memorable one.

    It is said that Senator Folarin’s celebration will be two-pronged; a low-profile get together in Abuja where many of his senator friends and political associates will be on hand to celebrate with him. The party train will then stop in Ibadan, the land of his birth, specifically at Casa Lucio Hall, for the grand celebration on November 2. The wife of the former lawmaker and Oyo State political juggernaut, Angela, is coordinating the celebration.

    In the same vein, a former governorship aspirant, Femi Babalola, will clock the golden age on October 19, and the event will be marked at his Hall of Grace, Jogor Centre, where he will be assisted by guests to cut his 50th birthday cake.

    Hon. Babatunde Oduyoye is also billed to mark his 50th birthday during the month, even though the exact nature of the celebration remains yet under wrap.

  • Where is Amos Adamu?

    Where is Amos Adamu?

    How funny life can be. It is hard to believe that former FIFA executive member, Dr. Amos Adamu, could become so scarce on the social scene. Until he fell out with the world football body after he was accused of demanding bribe, Adamu oozed with power, influence and fame.

    The Ogbomosho-born sports administrator was an institution of some sorts. His words were virtually laws as far as sport administration in Nigeria was concerned. And as would be expected of a man of such immense stature, he enjoyed a large followership. His presence at any social function simply added substance and colour.

    But Adamu, the owner of Balmora, a popular event centre in Lagos, has since become a shadow of his former self on the social firmament. Not even his 60th birthday months ago could pull any comeback magic for him. His son now runs the family business.

  • Babatunde Okewale’s new gift to childless couples

    Couples who are at a loss on the rules that guide fruitful marital union now have a guide in How to Get Pregnant, a book written by the Chief Medical Director of St. Ives Hospital, Lagos, Dr. Babatunde Okewale. Billed for launch in Lagos on in the next few weeks, it is a product of decades of Okewale’s experience as a gynaecologist and obstetrician.

    Besides specialising in taking delivery of babies through in vitro fertilization (IVF), the UK-trained medical expert is also reputed for his intellectual capacity. The book is thus seen by many as another effort on the part of Okewale to help address the fertility challenges faced by many couples.

    Only a few weeks ago, he announced a 50-per cent cut in the cost of in vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatment. The promo, which is ongoing, was designed to significantly reduce the economic burden of couples who may desire the treatment as a result of one fertility challenge or the other.

    The annual gesture from Okewale is in its fourth year.

  • Modupe Ozolua turns 40

    If you find the Chief Executive Officer of Body Enhancement Limited, Modupe Ozolua, in a gay mood, don’t wonder why. The beautiful princess of the Benin Kingdom has just joined the league of 40-year-olds.

    The lady, who is in the business of enhancing body shapes, has resurfaced after a long absence from the social scene. Her face has been everywhere in the print and social media in relation with her 40th birthday.

    Since she relocated from Lagos to Abuja, she has been struggling to bring back the glorious days of her body enhancement business. The graduate of Southwestern College, San Diego and Devery International University, Los Angeles, Califonia, blazed the trail in cosmetic surgery years ago and recorded instant success.

  • He is 40 and I am 23

    Aunty Adeola, I really need your help, about my boyfriend who is 40 and I am 23. He claimed he loves me but never took me to his house, nor did I know any of his family. We usually meet in a hotel.  I am confused because he said he will be coming to see my parents. My fear is that I don’t know if he is married or has children that he doesn’t want me to know because he always tells me he is single anytime I confront him. Should I let him come and see my parents? I am confused. – Blessing.

    Dear poor Blessing, this man has been catching his fun at your expense and he must be having a good laugh behind your back. You don’t seem to be wise about the antics of men. Even men that give you the keys to their apartments have other girlfriends who come to do short-time when you’re away at school or work. Some even have wives and children in other towns, so they have the freedom to do anything with you if you’re not wise enough. And here, we’re talking about a man who takes you to a hotel to sleep with you! No dating, no romance, it’s just pure sex. A man who hass the intention to marry you will sleep with you if he can’t wait, but you won’t have to ask before he begins to introduce you to his friends and then family members. He gets you to speak with them on phone and arranges for you to meet them at family events etc.

    So, this man is telling you he will eventually meet your family. Lies! No man needs waste time to meet the family of a girl he loves and he doesn’t need to take her to hotels before he proves his love. Get out of this relationship as fast as your legs can get you. I have said my own. You may seek other people’s opinions.

  • Is it true that if a girl is not deflowered on time, it will be difficult for her to give birth?

    I’m a girl, I am 22. Is it true if a girl is not ‘disvirgined’ on time, it will be difficult for her to give birth?

    What has the time of losing virginity got to do with either pregnancy or labour? Nothing! Whoever told you that came to you with one of those lies from hell to make you give up your virginity for free. Tell them you’re ready to wait until you get to that bridge before crossing it.

    You’re already an adult, so all your reproductive organs are mature and ready to carry a healthy baby to full term and except you have a medical condition, you should be able to go to a labour room and come out with a baby in your arms.

    If what they mean is your virginal wall not opening enough, it is also a lie. By the time you are married, you’d be having regular sex and you won’t be a virgin again by the time you get pregnant anyway. So your vagina would ready to accommodate a baby’s size. Don’t forget that the vagina is elastic anyway, so there’s no need to worry. Keep your virginity for the right person and laugh those liars to scorn.

  • For Akinsola Akinfemiwa, life continues

    For Akinsola Akinfemiwa, life continues

    Until he emerged like a bolt from the blue a few months ago, not a few people had written off Akinsola Akinfemiwa from the social scene. The former Managing Director of Skye Bank Plc, who bowed out from the banking industry as a result of a policy initiated by the Central Bank of Nigeria, had stayed off the social radar for long.

    His absence from the social scene had sparked speculations, with some claiming that he had fallen on bad times, while others said he had returned to one of the Ivy League institutions in the US to further enhance his academic status.

    While neither of these speculations can be confirmed, it is a fact that he is back in the saddle of another fast-rising bank. He is the Chairman of Heritage Bank.

    Certainly, things are still looking up for the banker. He was sighted at the official opening of Intercontinental Hotels on Kofo Abayomi Street, Victoria Island, Lagos, recently.

  • My Aries girlfriend is not satisfied with my being self-employed

    My Aries girlfriend is not satisfied with my being self-employed because I’m not always meeting her financial needs

    I’m Sept. 25th, she is April, 6th and we had had a pious (no kiss, hugs and sex)    relationship for 7 years now and my intention is marriage. I love her dearly and a minute with her renews my humanity, however, I perceive she loves me less and is not satisfied with my being self employed in pursuit of my passion and not always meeting her financial needs on time. On my part, her posture drove me into a relationship that has produced a child of 2 years old which I have not told her about for fear of the unknown even though she got wind of it through a whistleblower. Please forecast the future of this relationship. Orya.

     

    I’m a Libran and I know that restlessness in us to do the things we love doing even when we have to suffer for a while before our feet get strong on the grounds we have chosen. You have a passion for whatever you’re doing now – let no one kill your dreams.  Financial needs my foot! You need financial help yourself. So let her get a job or a business that will take care of her needs until you’re able to. Pronto.

    Your child is a big part of you. The child came during the uncertain period between you two, so don’t be afraid to let her know. You can’t hide the existence of your child forever because you fear the reactions of an unstable person. Tell her and if she wants to stay after getting over the shock the revelation is bound to bring, good for her, if not, good luck to her wherever she wants to go.

    I’m not a psychic t know what the future is like between you two, but I’m publishing a normal Libra male and Aries female astrological compatibility:

    Libra and Aries

    Aries and Libra are directly opposite one another in the Zodiac — 180 degrees apart. Each Sign possesses qualities that the other lacks; combined with Libra’s natural yen for harmony, this can be a relationship that enjoys great balance. Aries is the Sign of Self while Libra is the Sign of Partnership, and the differences continue: Aries is impulsive, excitable and ready to jump right into something new and exciting, while Libra is indecisive, peace-loving and prefers a calm, smooth approach. Aries can learn from Libra that their own way isn’t necessarily the best way.

    These two Signs share the great sexual attraction common to all Signs opposite in polarity. At the same time, though this pair’s connection is amazing when it’s good, it can be extremely challenging when it’s bad. All polarities have energies that tend to tangle or knot if understandings can’t be reached. As a combination, Aries and Libra are well-balanced. Charming, cultured Libra can teach brash Aries something about style. Libra prizes harmony in a relationship and will go to great lengths to maintain it. Aries is very decisive and can teach indecisive Libra about relying on intuition for answers.

    Aries is a Fire Sign and Libra is an Air Sign. Working together can be challenging at times.  However, both Signs have wide-ranging interests, and at the end of a long, active day, Aries can come home full of interesting stories to tell the more cerebral Libra!

    Aries and Libra are both Cardinal Signs. They both have a lot of initiative — but lack in follow-through. They both tend to start things they’re never going to finish, whether it’s a job, a project, a relationship … Aries will appear to be the leader because of their energy and forceful nature, but Libra leads from an intellectual standpoint. Both Signs want to be in charge, but Aries uses force and sometimes intimidation to get what they want while Libra uses charm and sometimes manipulation. Compromise is essential to this relationship’s health. Diplomatic Libra has a much easier time with compromise than does Aries, who strongly dislikes yielding to another person, viewing it as submission. Libra may have to give in more often to Aries’s wishes in order to keep the peace that they so cherish.

  • I’m 26 and in love with a 27-year-old girl

    Hi wise lady Adeola, I am in love with a girl, she is 27 and I’m 26. She has a child which she told me about. She is a virtous woman l always see her in my dream playing without sex. She said that age is the problem. I want to marry her after our NYSC and my parents love her so much. Please help me because I don’t want to miss her.

    Hi. If I had a crown to give to people with heads of wisdom, you would have taken one now. How many Nigerians guys your age would be thinking of marrying a gilr who lready has a child? Most may want to date her and leave her for some married men to take as a mistress or a second wife. But here you are, younger than her and ready take her the way she is. This is wisdom. This is love. I doff my hat for you.

    If she were my younger sister, I would ‘koboko’ her for being concerned about something as mundane as age when she should be happy that she has found real love and there are no family members from your end to disturb her about the child.

    Sit her down and let her know that you don’t see the one-year age difference as any big deal. Let her know that true happiness does not recognize age difference, tribe, language or color. Show her child enough love too and before long, she will be the one proving more love. Don’t mind her, she’s just being self-conscious and trying to hide that behind a little shakara so that it would be on record that you didn’t get her easily despite the fact that she already has a child. The shakara will soon fade away to reveal a beautiful love life for both of you.
