BEYONCE AND JAY Z LOSE BATTLE TO TRADEMARK BLUE IVY'S NAME

The hip-hop power couple Jay Z and Beyonce have lost the legal battle to trademark the name of their daughter, "Blue Ivy" this past weekend. Jay and Bey initially tried to trademark the name in January, shortly after daughter Blue Ivy's birth because Beyonce hoped to one day start a line of children's clothing, dolls, and cofee mugs in her baby's name and they didn't want any competition or anyone benefiting financially off their kid’s name.  

However, a wedding planner, Veronica Alexandra, owner of Blue Ivy Events planning ,who had the name before Beyonce and Jay Z thought of it, worried that the entertainment titans would affect her business if they succeeded in patenting the Blue Ivy name. So Alexander filed her own trademark application and luckily for her, the NY patent office sided with her because she had the name since 2009. Alexandra, however, said business has really improved since Jay and Bey named their baby Blue Ivy.

KEMI ADETIBE DENIES EFCC ARREST

There were rumors going round that the Maltina Dance All host and Video Director, Kemi Adetiba, was arressted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over her involvement in a N15m tussle with a  church in Gbagada, Lagos and she had to ‘beg the officials of the EFCC to allow her host the show (Maltina DanceHall Season 6) promising she will sort out the debt as soon as she finished the show’. I didn't carry the story because I couldn't confirm it. In a recent interview with NET she denied the allegations and said there is no truth to the story. See it below;

‘It has been brought to my attention that Nigerian Enquirer magazine published an article designed and calculated to tarnish my reputation. I want to say most emphatically that there is no truth in the story‘, ‘I therefore serve notice to one and all, that no stone will be left unturned to seek justice from this clear case of libel. My lawyers have been instructed to institute legal action against all concerned. I thank friends and well wishers for their concern and support‘, she added.

JIM IYKE'S STATEMENT ABOUT ALLEGED 11 YEAR OLD SON

Some days ago, I wrote about Stella Dimoko Korkus report that Jim Iyke recently found out that he has an 11 year old son with an ex girlfriend who relocated to the UK many years ago. (If you missed it, read it HERE). The actor has released a statement through his media manager addressing the issue. Read it below;

“Jim Iyke is aware of the viral story currently making the headlines and wishes to state that this is not the first time that issues of this nature have arisen. Friends and fans who follow his activities closely will recall a number of occasions in the past when baseless claims of paternity and even marriage were made. Nonetheless, as a responsible man, he is always disposed to verify any such development(s) brought to his attention and when any satisfactory outcome has been ascertained, the general public will be duly informed without ambiguity. The only specifics at the present time is that at the age of 22yrs-23yrs old he dated for a brief period the lady at the center of the story who subsequently left Nigeria for the UK. “There had been no contact between them ever since and by implication no inkling of the existence of a living product of that encounter. Since this is more about an innocent child than the star himself we advise caution and respect for privacy. Mitch Ngaman, Media Manager.”

"Since this is more about an innocent child than the star himself we advise caution and respect for privacy." Okay, that sounds like a confirmation to me, you nko?

BOKO HARAM COMMANDER IS MY NEPHEW- SENATOR

Senator Ahmed Zanna

The Joint Task Force, JTF, on Thursday announced the arrest of a high profile Boko Haram Commander Shuaib Mohammed Bama in Maiduguri,  who has been on the list of wanted terrorists operating between Bama and Maiduguri.

The SSS later linked Mr Bama to the house of senator Ahmed Zannaa in  Maiduguri. The Senator, representing Borno Central Senatorial district, has denied the allegation that the Boko Haram member was arrested in his house saying he only got of a text on Sunday that the SSS DG will want to see him on Monday (today). “What I am suspecting is that they want to frame me up.” he said.

He denied any link to the Boko Haram sect, saying although the suspect is his nephew,  his sister’s son, who he had long kept at arm’s length, was not arrested in his apartment but in a house belonging to a former Governor of Borno State, who is currently a Senator, Ali Modu Sheriff.

God will expose all this evil men using the lives of innocent men, women and children as pawn in their power game. Continue to read more

FAAN NAME DANA THE BEST DOMESTIC AIRLINE IN NIGERIA

Despite the air crash that claimed the lives of 163 people four months ago, the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) over the weekend named Dana Air as the best domestic carrier for 2011 in Nigeria.  According to FAAN’s Regional General Manager, Mr. Chris Bature the airline was awarded the prize for its good customer relations and prompt payment of dues. Bature stated that the airline was selected because of its outstanding performance and punctuality while Lufthansa Airlines was also selected as the best international carrier for the same period.

Outstanding performance? Really? Neglecting complains from staff and customers about a faulty plane and eventually killing over 160 people is an outstanding performance? Only in Nigeria where money means more than human lives!
