In Dallas...:-)

I actually mentioned this on Twitter but it just occurred to me that not all my readers are on Twitter, so I better mention it here too. My darling readers, I'm in the US, that's why my blogging has been off and on...but it will definitely become regular as soon as I settle in. I actually came in yesterday.

I'm currently in Dallas. I'm making an appearance at Flavour's show tonight which is being hosted by John Okafor. Then I'm moving to Miami, Orlando, Atlanta and finally New York before returning home. So, if there are LIBers in these areas that will like to say hello, hang out, show me around, have lunch etc...that would be great. Holla at me via email. Kisses!

Photos from Nigeria's first Garden and Flower show..

Didn't get a chance to attend the first ever Garden and Flower Show in Nigeria? It held at the Banquet Hall of Oriental Hotel Lagos and had flower lovers and enthusiasts in attendance. Exhibitors had flowers and potted plants for sale and ornaments to match. It was a lovely laid back, fun and classy evening hosted by WJSeries and the Garden and Flower Club of Nigeria.

Oh, my bad! That's a pic of Anita and Andre

My bad! The pic on Paul Okoye's BB display photo I posted earlier is apparently that of his girlfriend Anita and their son Andre and not the other lady Elshamah and her son. (They look so alike..:-))

But the best part about getting this info wrong is that Paul has, for the first time, acknowledged Elshamah and her son. He tweeted that he has never accepted the baby and NEVER will. That's kinda harsh considering no paternity test has been done so far. I found this out a few hours ago.

Anyway, no man in his right senses will deny his own child, so maybe he knows something we don't know, even though Elshamah swears she was a virgin when she met him at 17. The story continues...

Peter Okoye may have been impressed by the N300m (still find it hard to believe that's really the price) champagne he got as a gift from luxury designer, Alexander Amusu, but not his brother, Paul.

A few hours after Peter posted a photo of himself with the luxury drink on Wednesday, Paul updated his BB PM, writing - 'I rather take a pic with a bottle of coke...than that shit!' Lol. See it after the cut

Kanye West's Yeezus album makes the history books

Kanye West's new album Yeezus made history this week but not in a good way...at least not in a way Kanye would have liked! :-)

The album holds the crown for the fourth biggest drop in second week sales for a #1 debut album since Sound Scan started keeping track in 1991.

Kanye released the new album with no pre-sales, no singles and no videos. And even though it debuted at No.1 with 327,000 in sales, it quickly slipped to No.3 the following week, falling by 80%. Continue...

Paul Okoye accepts baby with 19 year old beauty queen, Elshama?

In May, we all heard that Paul Okoye, the other half of singing sensation P-Square, had welcomed a baby with 19 year old MBGN 2012 contestant, Elshama Igbanoi. If you missed it, read it HERE

Paul Okoye has never reacted to the story in the press...to either confirm or deny that he is indeed the little boy's father. The boy was born April 7th in the UK, four days before Paul and his girlfriend Anita welcomed their son, Andre, in Atlanta.

Paul at the time told the Igbanoi family that he's going to do a DNA test to ascertain paternity. Maybe he's done it because he has officially acknowledged the boy as his. Continue to see what I mean...
