Kardashian sisters ‘at war’ over North West
THE Kardashian sisters – Kim and Kourtney – are reported to differ so much on their approach to parenting that it’s causing massive rows. A source told Star magazine: “No one expected how opposite their approaches would be. Kim’s shocked at how little they have in common. It’s created a barrier instead of a bond.” Kourtney has two kids with her partner, Scott Disick, and is said to be very ‘laid back,’ when it comes to child-rearing. The source continued: “Kourtney scolds Kim for being too over-protective and highly strung. She’s more of a hippy, very laid-back. She keeps telling Kim you don’t have to jump every time the baby makes the slightest sound. Kourtney breast feeds her kids in public, an act Kim thought was inappropriate. Kourt insists it’s natural and a great way to lose pregnancy weight, whereas Kim has been pumping milk because she finds breastfeeding uncomfortable.” And despite the fact the girls are always bickering, these fights are getting way more personal.

Leah Abiara comes of age
MARRIAGE would seem to have reshaped girl-about-town, Leah Abiara. The colourful daughter of Pastor S. K. Abiara of the Christ Apostolic Church got married late in 2011 to popular Ibadan-based big boy, Omotunde Nero, much to the relief of family and friends. It is often said that marriage imposes responsibility on people, and that cannot be any less true with Leah. She has not only adopted a quiet lifestyle, there are also speculations that she may turn fully to God and follow in the footsteps of her father in no distant future. Known for her controversial lifestyle before she got married, Leah was always in the news for wrong reasons. It was so bad that her father appeared to have given up on her weird ways. Now happily married, the leggy Ibadan socialite is more matured and she is currently keeping it low, even going off the social scene.

Chima Anyaso is third time lucky
CHIMA Anyaso, the young dude behind Ceecom Oil and Gas, still believes in marriage. Last Saturday, he got married to Adanna Nzeribe. This will be Chima’s third attempt at marriage in the last five years. He dated former governor Orji Uzor Kalu’s daughter, Neya Kalu. Neya walked out of the union after a while in 2009. Chima then married Onyeka Odiegwu in 2011 in a top society wedding, but the marriage only lasted less than six months. Little wonder celebrity marriages crash and burn in record time. Notwithstanding this immutable fact, not a few people, particularly scions of the Nigeria’s rich, would contend that the uncertainties of silver spoon romance, the fatalism of cupid, as well as the dilemmas of conscience and egotism all critically constitute unfair influences in the crash of so many silver spoon marriages. However, family and friends of Chima Anyaso are praying fervently for his third marriage to stand the test of time.

A tale of two colourful weddings
AS it has become the in-thing among the elites to stage party across the seas, billionaire and oil mogul, Jide Omokore, threw a party that was not left out of the new trend when he staged an elaborate wedding for his son, Tosin Omokore, in Dubai penultimate weekend. The party featured a few equally prominent friends of Chief Omokore and several family members who flew to that country with the man who has come to give a new definition to hospitality and fun. The venues used would not forget in a hurry the about 300 guests who flew to the city to honour both parents, and it lived up to expectation as up to 25 rich and powerful Nigerians flew in their private jets. The entire JW Marriott Marquis was taken over by Omokore’s guests, while the 37th floor of the same hotel was where lunch was served for all. Other guests who didn’t stay at the Marriott were lodged at another luxurious hotel, Mirage Palace. Oluwatosin Omokore and Faizer Fari’s wedding would never be forgotten in a hurry with leading entertainers like DJ Jimmy Jatt on the wheels of steel on the wedding day and Wizkid performing to everyone’s delight at the wedding. Basketmouth, Godbless and Eboni Band also performed at the A-list wedding. Who-is-who in the Nigerian social and political spaces were in attendance. You could understand why dignitaries from within and outside Dubai would take more than a passing interest and go to great lengths to be part of an event attended by the creme of the elite crowd. It all probably came down to the fondness which many of them peddle for Chief Jide Omokore, whom many adjudge a jolly good fellow.

Gbemi Saraki gets new friend
Senator Gbemi Saraki, the beautiful daughter of the late godfather of Kwara politics, Senator Olusola Saraki, is now enjoying life to the fullest. Though she suffered defeat in the last general elections, the ever-smiling senator has revealed an innate resilience and passion that has kept her going against all odds. Though the battle for the gubernatorial seat of Kwara took a lot out of her, the affable young woman is content that she gave a good account of herself. While the campaign lasted, Gbemi made not a few enemies along the way, who at some point callously wanted her permanently silenced. After the death of her beloved father, she recoiled into her shell, which explains why she has not been sighted in recent times. She is now very close to a few people. One of those who are currently making her happy is Dr. Wale Babalakin, the erudite lawyer-cum-business mogul, who is the chairman of Bi-Courtney Group.

Will Lola Omotayo and Peter Okoye seal their love this year?
THEIR much-vaunted conjugal merger is one union the cream of the entertainment world and high society has been waiting impatiently for in the last three years. Since the news of their relationship became public knowledge, after gifting Peter, the other half of singing sensation, P-Square, two kids some years back, sweet looking Lola Omotayo, does not pretend about it any longer. As such, it was generally assumed that theirs would be one wedding that would make the society creak at the eaves. But how wrong they were! Though a lot of people were expecting the beautiful lovebirds to formalise their romance few years ago, it didn’t happen. The wait is becoming rather unbearable for fans of P-Square and friends of Lola. The question on the lips of many at the moment, is when would Lola drag Peter to the alter if he is still prevaricating? Or is she deliberately taking her time as a close friend of hers suggests? No doubt, with her striking, lovely looks and uncomplicated elegance, Lola is never going to be short of admirers though she is not getting younger again. Many of her close friends are hopping that the love birds will tie the knot before this years runs out.

Between Mina Okoloko and Sandra Solebo
THIS is the story of two celebrity friends who grew up together, did everything together and married two prominent guys who were also best of friends but have now fallen apart. Regarded as one of Nigeria’s most beautiful young women with a smuldering beauty that can set off fire alarms, Sandra is the beautiful wife of Femi Solebo, a former banker and director at Notore Chemicals. She is also the daughter of Emmanuel Edozien, a former professor at the University of Ibadan. Mina, who is partly Scotish, on the other hand, is an Obafemi Awolowo University-trained lawyer. She is married to Jite Okoloko, who calls the shots at Notore. Mina and Sandra epitomised everything about true friendship prior to their marriages; they rocked the social scene together and were virtually inseparable. Not even marriage could drive them apart as they still saw each other from time to time. But at the moment, the two women are now keeping a low profile, while giving the party circuit a very wide berth. They no longer appear at events together and always cleverly avoid anything that would put them on pages of society journals.
