Uche Jombo's Ex Ikechukwu Uche Moves On..... Reportedly Dating Ruth Okoro

By yuddie
  Word has it that footballer Ikechukwu Uche who was reportedly dating Nollywood actress Uche Jumbo has moved on and quickly too. He is reportedly dating a new lady, Ruth Okoro.
Ruth is the lady Ini edo's husband left for the actress (Ini).
According to the story written by Stella Dimoko in  Encomium magazine, the new love birds were spotted together in America recently.

This is how she reported the gist........

Nice movie script you say? Unfortunately, what you are about to read is not a movie script. The picture was taken in America (There's a pic of them in the mag) when the footballer paid the new love of his life a visit. Even when Ikechukwu and Uche Jombo were dating and supposedly engaged to be married, the footballer was already having a smoky affair with Ruth. There's a particular movie producer in Nollywood who is friends with Ikechukwu and his footballer brother and he supplies them girls anytime they are in the country for holidays or national assignment.

The Rise of the “African Gagas”

By yuddie

Each time we feature red carpet photos with women in mini dresses, a stream of comments pour in – with many commenters speaking out against this new wave of sexiness and sassiness.
Nigerian musicians have also been criticized for featuring sexy women in their music videos and pushing the “moral boundaries”.

International music star Lady Gaga has definitely pushed the boundaries. No, she did not invent theatrics on stage or is not the first person to walk around the street in a leotard but for many people, she represents the new era of personal liberation.

African female musicians are joining the “Gaga” train. Despite harsh criticism and press scrutiny, they are still pushing the boundaries. It is not all about sexiness but instead they have expressed their desire to promote their craft in their own  unique ways – outside the box and against cultural expectations.

Goldie set the pace from the beginning of her career with her edgy videos and adventurous on-stage antics. Now, we have Dencia, Noni Zondi, G-Lory and Maheeda.

i bet you never thought of this

By gogo
A man and his wife are in court in a Divorce suit.

The problem was who should get custody of the child.

The wife jumped up and said,

''Your Honour sir. I brought the child into this world with pain and labour. She should be in my custody.''

The judge turns to the husband and says,

''What do you have to say in your defence’’?

The man sat for a while contemplating. ..then slowly rose.

''Your Highness, if I put my ATM card into a cash-dispensing Machine and the cash comes out...whose cash is it?

'The machines or mine?

By glamorous
I enjoy tansal because I have met a number of really nice , highly inteligent,respectful and beautiful people out here. I am able to chat when I am stressed out, have a few laughs with people and discuss important events around the world. I have been able to listen to good african music all in one place without having to search elsewhere, watch videos, discuss various things, chat and look at celebrity photos. It is truely a really nice social networking and entertainment site for africans all over the world and is one of its kind.  I envisage that it will be great in the future and has huge potential. I wish the administrators all the best and will contribute my quota to this great site.

JOKES......laughter is good for the soul pt 1

By JENNIE TANSALI

1.       THE TOY GOES TO....
                Tom had won a toy at a raffle. He called his kids together to ask which one should have the toy. "Who is the most obedient?" he asked. "Who never talks back to mother? Who does everything she says?" Five small voices answered in unison. "Okay, dad, you get the toy."

2.      NO. 1 ON OUR LIST - LITERALLY!
                  My father was completely lost in the kitchen and never ate unless someone prepared a meal for him. When mother was ill, however, he volunteered to go to the supermarket for her. She sent him off with a carefully numbered list of seven items. Dad returned shortly, very proud of himself, and proceeded to unpack the grocery bags. He had one bag of sugar, two dozen eggs, three hams, four boxes of detergent, five boxes of crackers, six eggplants, and seven green peppers.

3.      COME DOWN TO MY LEVEL
                    An illiterate woman boarded a plane from enugu to abuja in nigeria. She was booked for an economy class seat. Just after the plane took-off, the woman stood up and went to sit in the first class cabin. The flight attendant went to ask her to go back and sit in econmy class because that's where the ticket allowed her to sit but she refused. She had paid and wanted the best seat. Then the attendant informed the Jnr. pilot. The Jnr. pilot went and spoke with the lady and she still refused. Then the Jnr. pilot went to inform the chief pilot. The chief pilot said, I am married to an illiterate therefore i'll go and talk to her. The chief went and whispered some words to the woman and she peacefully stood up and went to her economy class seat. The attendant and Jnr. pilot surprisingly asked, sir what did you tell her? The chief pilot said: easy guys, i just told her that first class is not going to abuja, only economy class is.

4.        FAMILY TREE
                      A little girl asked her mother, "How did the human race appear?' The mother answered, 'God made Adam and Eve and they had children and so was all mankind made." Two days later the girl asked her father the same question. The father answered, "Many years ago there were monkeys from which the human race evolved." The confused girl returned to her mother and said, "Mom, how is it possible that you told me the human race was created by God, and Dad said they developed from monkeys?" The mother answered, "Well, dear, it's very simple. I told you about my side of the family and your father told you about his."

5.         I'M THIRSTY
                       A small boy is sent to bed by his father. Five minutes later......."Da-ad..." What? I'm thirsty. Can you bring a drink of water? No. You had your chance. Lights out. Five minutes later: "Da-aaaad....." WHAT? I'm THIRSTY. Can i have a drink of water?? Itold you NO!! If you ask again, i'll have to spank you!! Five minutes later....."Daaaa-aaaad......" WHAT! When you come in to spank me, can you bring a drink of water?
