GUESS WHO?

I had a tough time figuring out who this is, but finally did. So, who do you think it is? Unbelievable but stunning transformation.

MY ABDUCTORS ASKED FOR N100M, I OFFERED N1BN! - G.U.O MOTORS BOSS

Godwin Okeke

The Chairman of G. U. O. Motors Limited, Chief Godwin Okeke, was kidnapped in Onitsha on Sunday, 23^rd August, 2009. At the hearing in respect of his abduction at an Onitsha High Court in Anambra State yesterday, Godwin Okeke, told the court how he was abducted with his family and how he offered to pay his abductors N1bn rather than the N100m they demanded. I guess when you're faced with death, you won't mind giving up all you have to see you family again. Read his story below;

How he was abducted

Led in the evidence by his counsel, Okeke stated that he went for 7 a.m. service which ended at about 10 a.m, adding that between 10.30 and 11 a.m., his wife mounted the steering of his Nissan Amanda Spots Utility Van, SUV, and was driving towards the church gate when suddenly, gunmen blocked the car with a bus in front and a Mercedes Benz car at the rear.

Okeke told the court that before he could ask questions, the gunmen started shooting sporadically, adding that even though he managed to disarm one or two of them, they shattered his left leg, over-powered him, drove away his wife and family members before bundling him into his SUV and zoomed off with the abductors’ vehicles following.

I am so loving this! Eku has one of those very few bodies that make just about anything look good. I do too *wink*.

WHAT THE HECK KINDA HARRASMENT IS THIS?

I don't know the story behind this photo and, heck, I don't care! It doesn't even matter what that lady may have done, stripping her and pulling her by her boobs, by a security agent no less, is absolutely wrong! You don't see men being pulled by their dick in public or quickly stripped and harassed at the slightest provocation like women, it's just annoying! Perverts!

ENOUGH OF THE NAKEDNESS ON RED CARPETS ALREADY! IGGY AZALEA EXPOSES HER V-JAYJAY ON THE RED CARPET

There's just too much nudity on the red carpet these days. The latest celeb to put her goods on display is 23-year-old Australian performer, Iggy Azalea. Iggy wore a daring long black dress which had one shoulder strap as well as cut-outs in the midriff section, to the 2013 MTV European Music Awards.

The rapper ended up flashing a little too much flesh after having a serious wardrobe malfunction and she seemed very uncomfortable as she kept trying to put the dress in place. See more photos below...

Pop star, D’banj’ has signed a multi-million Naira brand endorsement deal with Globacom Nigeria. D'banj and Globacom fell out in 2010 when he refused to extend his initial 2-year contract of N70m because he was offered waay less than the 240m offered to PSquare. This new deal has not even been announced yet but I hear it is the costliest signing of 2013.The official announcement is expected to be made in a matter of days.

D’banj now joins the likes of Psquare, Naeto C, M.I, Lynxxx, Bez, Burna Boy, Flavour, Waje, Omawumi, and more recently, Wande Coal.

My amebor ears have also gathered that Etisalat is in talks with top rappers, Ice Prince and Olamide, as well as 2face Idibia. You heard it here first o.

Now known as 'Bad girl Riri', Rihanna shared a picture of hersef as a normal teenager, known simply then as Robyn Fenty, with her hair tied up in a neat bun and a blouse. I'm sure she never thought she would turn out to be a pop diva. Truly, no one knows tomorrow.
