Nollywood Actress, Ini Edo To Be Thrown Out By Her Husband

...and looking all sad! When sultry Nollywood actress, Ini Edo's husband traveled out months back and left her behind in Nigeria to "do her thing" many didn't suspect anything was wrong as it is not unusual for a husband to leave his wife behind to attend to some business issues and return home.

But days turned into weeks, her husband didn't return; weeks have turned into months now and it's obvious Ini Edo can no longer hide her pains again....

A source told TON that she has been complaining secretly to a few friends about her husband's fight with her. She has done all she could to make him "forgive me even if I'm wrong" but it seems her efforts are not really working as she had expected. And it's getting bad.

Another source disclosed to TON that the major issue is Ini Edo's inability to get pregnant and give her husband a child after three years of marriage. It is said that the man was advised against marrying her due to her "past" but he ignored the warning all because he wanted to marry a celebrity.

Anyway, the home front is no longer at peace and the man is not even coming home to touch his wife so they could try harder maybe the *pregnancy* would come.

Some say he may be planning to send her out... But is that the best solution

Hehehe! Famous man? Who might he be talking about? For those who don't know, Ricardo is the Givency designer who was recently rumoured to be Kanye West's gay lover. Not that I believe it o! Anyway, Ricardo did an interview with Vogue Homme last month and when asked to reveal his "best" sexual experience, the fashion mogul said it was with a well known man! Read it below

"I have several but the one I think immediately is an experience I had with a man who is known. I never imagined that something could happen between us and it's still the hottest weekend of my life. Nobody really knows if this guys is straight or gay, it is a mystery. However, I was attracted to him, his way of speaking, thinking, walking, dressing. I love what he does an an artist. This weekend both, the intimate moment has really reinforced my attraction to him."

He might be talking about Frank Ocean. There have been rumours. Anyway, hope he doesn't write a tell-all book one day! :-)

Mavin artist D'Prince has amicably parted ways with his manager, Teebillz, who is also Tiwa Savage's manager and fiance. The two who were in the UK two weeks ago to shoot two videos for Tiwa, ended their business relationship as soon as they returned from the UK.

"Teebillz didn't really have time to commit to managing him. He wants to concentrate on the business management of his label and leave artist management alone for now. He's busy with too many projects and they decided D'Prince should move to Mr Are

The Next Titan...For the love of the people - Community Service and Philantrophy

Never has saving lives been so mind blowing. Forty eight hours, zero naira and loads of heart ‘n brains may have just created the most mind blowing episode of The Next Titan Reality TV show.

For those who do not know about the show here is a brief rundown. For the first time, Nigerian television is centered on young business people and how they go through the challenges of entrepreneurship and business. Each week, the contestants are split into 2 teams and given a task at the end of which the judges grade them by certain criteria. In the first week, the teams were given N40,000 to create a product or service and bring a turnover in 48 hours. The contestants were split into men (Edge Corp.) against the ladies (Sapphire Group), with the men trumping the ladies by turning over N240,000 from the N40,000. Believe you me, it was all legit! Sapphire Group did get a win the next week, with their presentation on Hairven (a hair extensions care product) edging out Strake Roads (a road traffic information service company) from the Edge Corp.

The 3rd task is a Community Service Project. The teams were randomly picked by the Project Managers. After their research, Edge Corp. agreed to work on kidney ailments (save-a-life), health/sanitary issues, and touch a child initiative. With the short time frame for the task in mind, they played a lot on partnerships to cut through a lot of bureaucracy. They immediately partnered with a Foundation, (who donated lifesaving post-surgery drugs worth the sum N4 million), and they also partnered with St. Nicholas Hospital to distribute these drugs to patients who cannot afford them.

They did a whole lot more including clean out a toilet…

…and that is just one team of seven individuals!

"I tweet every morning, my workouts, because I want women to see - especially us big women - that you don’t have to let them cut you and suck it out, you don't have to let them staple you up, you don't have to let them give you a pill, you don't have to let them put a band around your organs. If you put the work in, baby, I promise you, it comes off."

"I am the best Mo'Nique I've ever been in my life right now. And I still have a ways to go. But I feel amazing.

On the track, Kelly sings:

"When my sister was on stage/ killin’ it like a motherf**ker  / I was enraged / feelin’ it like a motherf**ker / bird in a cage  / you would never know what I was dealin’ with  / went our separate ways but I was happy she was killin’ it  / bittersweet / she was up I was down  / no lie I feel good for her but what do I do now / forget the records off the record I was goin’ through some bullsh**t  / post-survivor / she don’t fight / who wanna hear my bullsh*t / meanwhile this nigga putting his hands on me / swear ya’ll don’t know the half of this industry..."
