    DESPITE the financial crisis that screen diva, Laide Bakare, and her socialite husband, Alhaji Atanda Orilowo, a.k.a ATM, went through and the subsequent takeover of their properties by court over a business deal gone awry, Laide, who recently relocated to the U.S to cool off, sources disclosed, is expecting her third child. The actress, we gathered, plotted a two-in-one celebration. Last Friday, she celebrated her birthday as well as baby shower to announce the arrival of the tiny tot.

    Orilowo, the chief executive officer of Primavera Construction and Engineering Limited, ran into trouble waters over a multi-billion naira estate project in Lagos for the construction of a Y’ellow Estate in the Ajah area of Lagos. The businessman has since gone to court to challenge the forfeiture.
