  • Titi Oseni dazzles at 50

    Titi Oseni dazzles at 50

    FORMER Ogun State House of Assembly Speaker, Titi Oseni, has joined the golden age club. In celebrating the milestone, a grand party was held in her honour at the Civic Centre in Lagos. In June 2003, she emerged the first female Speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly, which re-wrote her story.

    Oseni, however, did not complete her tenure and by May 15, 2008, she was impeached, and this, no doubt, left a sour taste in her mouth. Oseni, who loves to unwind by travelling, listening to music and enjoying a day at the beach, is still young and has many more years ahead of her for great accomplishments.

  • Dean Priddy’s new passion

    Dean Priddy’s new passion

    DEAN, the first son of the late socialite, Olu Kerekou Priddy, has found a new business line aside the family business. The gist is that the father of one now markets hi-end time pieces.

    The wristwatches, we gathered, are for those who have taste for good and quality. Dean is also leveraging on family name, clout and influence to make and boost sales.

    Dean no doubt has put the tales of his marriage to Linda Edozien behind him, as he is charting a new course. The duo got married at a fairytale wedding that attracted the presence of many celebrities from all walks of life. The union, which produced a child, began to exhibit some noticeable cracks until the couple finally called it quits and went their separate ways.

    Since the couple went their separate ways to the consternation of family and friends who had before now tagged them a model couple, they have continually kept sealed lips on what led to their separation.

    Where is Gbenga Obasanjo

    GBENGA Obasanjo, the second son of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, has a burden. He is one of the eligible bachelors in town after he made a revelation, which startled the entire nation some years back that eventually led to the divorce between him and his ex-wife, Moji.

    Most people, we gathered, have since kept Gbenga at arms’ length. Sources said he now lives in the United States since his duplex residence in GRA, Ikeja, owned by his father where he used to live has since been leased out.

    Karen Igho secretly marries

    BIG Brother Africa winner Karen Igho is married and this is for real. The reality show star who recently survived cancer, sources squealed, has moved to the U.S where her hubby is based. And to confirm that she is really off the shelf, the Delta State-born Nigeria’s party queen has added Rakos to her name. She announced her engagement through her instagram early May this year, but kept mum on her wedding.

    The news making the rounds is that she is now an American citizen and had a legal wedding in the U.S, which is why she chose to keep her romance secret. Karen hugged stardom in 2011 when she won the BBA Amplified edition. She became the third Nigerian in a row to win the prize, and she is the first and only female to win that ultimate prize.

  • The woman in red

    The woman in red

    ALL over the world, across different regions and cutting across different groups of the people, the colour red has different meanings and symbolizes different things. In the world of fashion, a red dress is super hot, sexy and produces a look that you will like to have for that date or occasion.

    Anything red, regardless of colour, race or ethnicity, commands an attention that is beyond words. If you rock a red dress and rock it well, trust me, you can command a way significant respect. You can call for such an attention, make heads to spin, necks to turn around, winks thrown all at you, all for a red dress.

    Red is hot, sexy and cute. You should lace up your wardrobe with two or three. Celebrities all over the world and even in Nigeria rock red dresses. Ini Edo in particular seems to really love red. She wears a red dress often, guess she understands its power because she looks really hot in it.

    To rock a red dress, ensure you blend it with colours that are cool and avoid heavy neck accessories. You could rock a black or blue heels.

  • Daytime classic

    Daytime classic

    A date is exciting. But one of the biggest issues for a date is deciding what to wear.

    Getting the right dress for a date can put a lot of pressure on you. Here are some tips to help you decide how to dress as well as to make up for different types of dates. Black is the easiest and safest of colours, and this season we have a lot of colours to experiment with such as olive green, pink, seductive purple and grey/harsh.

    Patent is a finishing touch that needs to take centre stage, so keep the rest of your outfit simple. It pulls an outfit together in a way that makes it look effortlessly stylish and very classy.

    Consider wearing something a little more casual. Oftentimes day-time dates are meant to alleviate some degree of anxiety. I recommend a subtle bag with jeans and shirt dress or a cute skirt with a nice top as well as some accessories to top it up. For a date that involves a lot of walking, go for flat shoes that will keep your feet snug when walking long distances. Light makeup will do.

  • Dumo Lulu Briggs’ fresh moves

    Dumo Lulu Briggs’ fresh moves

    BARRISTER Dumo Owukori Lulu Briggs’ name is becoming prominent among the governorship aspirants in Rivers State.  Hunky, dark and handsome, Dumo is an achiever in all ramifications and one of the new generation role models in the Niger Delta.

    A law graduate from the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria and a master’s degree holder from the University of London, he proved to the corporate world that he is versatile by turning around his father’s ailing oil company, Moni Pulo Limited, which was hitherto under an expatriate management. He brought the company back to profitability and prominence. Today, Dumo, a Kalabari, runs a couple of profitable companies. His investments range from oil and gas to marine, entertainment and properties.

    Dumo has proved his mettle as a technocrat. He was for a few years the Chairman, Board of the National Maritime Authority, Oron, and is about to end his tenure as the Chairman, Governing Council, Federal Medical Centre, Owerri. Dumo has, however, put business on the back burner, giving politics priority. His GRA Port Harcourt campaign office has become a Mecca of sorts. No day passes without political groups and associates visiting him to seek alliance.

  • Dele Awosika’s burden

    Dele Awosika’s burden

    DELE Awosika, the CEO of Equipoise Nigeria Limited, brought TM Lewin franchise to Nigeria as a master’s degree student in the United Kingdom. Awosika saw the viability of the brand and started organising events in London to introduce Nigeria, which saw a rise in patronage. With his success in England, Mr. Awosika introduced the brand to Nigeria, subsequently registered TM LEWIN NIGERIA Limited and opened over 10 TM Lewin franchise shops all over the country and three shops in Ghana, before the franchise was terminated in 2011 and given to another company. However, the last may not have been heard of the crisis as a legal battle over the rightful ownership of the TM Lewin franchise in Nigeria has gotten messier. Sources said he got bailiffs from the Federal High Court, Lagos, raided three TM Lewin shops carting away branded products.

    Awosika is seeking redress from the court for a breach of contract against TM LEWIN and Sons UK Limited for itself and all class of persons engaged in the use of the trade name, TM Lewin, and selling T.M. Lewin products in Nigeria.
