AKON HAS THREE WIVES?

Akon revealed casually to DJ Angie Martinez on a radio programme recently that he practices polygamy and has THREE WIVES. Is this true? I heard he's been banned from talking about this by executives of his record label for fear that could make him loose some of his fans. He lives in the USA where polygamy is not possible or understood. Sincerely, if Akon has three wives, then I must say I'm deeply disappointed. He claims to be 27years old, how can he have three wives at such a young age? What the hell is a young man doing with three wives at this day and age? I hope its not true. His only known/official wife is Latrice pictured below



I'll also like to say Akon's brothers look so much like him. Check out Boo on Akon's right and and Omar on his left


The Thiam brothers

LEMAR...MY IGBO BROTHER

This is one guy I'm very proud of. For so long I heard he was Nigerian but did I believe it? It wasnt until I bought his latest album...The truth about love...and heard his intro, sang in the Igbo language, did I believe. lemar is Igbo? That's amazing. I'm mighty proud of you brother, for making it in an industry full of talent and extremely competitive.


There are so many questions I want to ask about this dude. Most significant of all is why he has never won an MTV Europe Award. Has he ever even been nominated? I know he has received MOBO and other unpopular awards but why not MTV? I won't mention the GRAMMYS' 'cos I heard you have to be practising your musical career in the USA for you to qualify for nominations. Lemar is a UK based artiste, doesn't that qualify him for nominations in the Europe version of MTV awards? Or are they saying his songs aren't good enough? As far as I am concerned Lemar is one of the best things to happen to the music industry not just in the UK but the world over. IF THERE"S ANY JUSTICE IN THE WORLD is one of the best songs i've ever heard in my life. What about TIME TO GROW, I BELIEVE IN THE THING CALLED LOVE, DONT GIVE IT UP or his latest efforts ITS NOT EASY AND LULLABY...this guy is a bundle of talent, with an incredible voice. And most importantly, he knows how to write songs. Lemar doesn't only deserve an MTV Award, he also deserves a GRAMMY. Or am I wrong? Has he won any of these awards before? If he hasnt, don't you guys think he deserves it?

To other questions, what is Lemar's real names? I've heard Obika but what is his surname?

What part of Nigeria is he from? I heard Abia state, is that true?

Where was he born? Has he ever been to Nigeria?

Lastly, when is he going to come to Nigeria to perform? That is one concert ticket I'll definitely buy.


obika what? Somebody tell me.

WHO IS THE WORLD'S BEST LOOKING PLAYER?

Who do you think is the world's best looking footballer? Alot of people have said its David Beckham. Do you agree? I used to think so too but lately I've been checking out this other three players. Namely: Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Raul Gonzalez and young Christian Ronaldo..owch..what a body! Ruud has this face that makes you want to stare at him forever..Raul looks like a god, his eyes is one of the sexiest I've ever seen and Christian Ronaldo...please somebody stop that guy. I think he has the best body in football. And that long neck that stretches like forever. He's got a girlfriend? Some women are so lucky! Now David beckham...how many of you ladies will kill to spend sometime with this epitome of manliness? Victoria is damn lucky. If I had a husband like this...I won't sleep at night. If you guys know what I mean...lol. Anyway, who do you guys think is the finest? Check out their photos and decide.

Ruud Van Nistelrooy
Raul Gonzalez
Christian Ronaldo

MIKEL OBI...WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS DUDE?

My first impression of Mikel at the 2004 under 17 World Youth Championship was a young talented, level headed player who had his priorities right. He shone like a million stars and went home with the 2nd best player award in that championship. His conduct in that tournament was impressive, especially on the field. He hardly booked any yellow cards or got into a fisticuff with any other player...so what is all these stories im hearing about his attempt to destroy his career due to lack of discipline


They say his general attitude at his new club Chelsea is nothing to write home about. He arrives late for training, he dumped the club's corporate dress code for his own style of dressing, his attitude on the pitch is not even encouraging. He's been sent off a few times this season. And i aslo hear his moral attitude is also an issue.

Mikel was out of the team for a month but thankfully he's been called back after he officially apologised and promised to change his ways.



Now I hear his Chelsea club manager, Jose Mourinho, has hired a psychologist for him in a bid to save his football career from going downhill. I hope Mikel knows he has a manager who believes in him. Others would have just left him to destroy his young career. I hear also that for now Mikel has changed his attitude and the coach has forgiven him. Here's hoping he remains a good and well behaved guy and footballer for a long time. He's too much of a talent to be wasted



To happier news, I hear he has been named as one of the leading candidates for the best young player in Europe, voted for by journalists from all over Europe and announced before the end of the year. He happens to be the only African on the list of finalists. Hope he wins it.

MRS NIGERIA?

I came across this photogragh and I was puzzled. Is there any such thing as Mrs Nigeria? If this pageant is held in Nigeria, then I have never heard or seen it. You guys know anything about this pageant? What country is it held in? Is it still being organized? I need information about this pageant...somebody tell me anything you know. Anything at all. I'm fascinated


HIGHEST PAID MODEL IN NIGERIA...ME?

I have been going through some blogs and a few of them have mentioned me once or twice. It was humbling reading all those articles..didnt know I was quite popular on the net. There was this particular aricle i read that made me stop to ponder...highest paid model in Nigeria..Linda Ikeji. I know alot of people will be wondering if i'm really the highest paid model in Nigeria. I once was..when i got half a million naira for a two year cosmetics contract i did in 2003 and the three hundred grand i got that same year from the MTN advert i did. But that was 3 years ago. There are other models who have earned more since then. Like the current face of MTN, Moses, he was paid close to one million naira for the MTN adverts he did. And there are a few others who have surpassed my 2003 800grand. So i'm officially no more the highest paid model in Nigeria.

I haven't signed any new contract in recent times. After i left university, i started my company. This was in 2004. Running my own business and being my own boss became more important than going for castings and lobbying for jobs. I had 2 agents i used to work with, i havent spoken to them in a while..for some reason the fun wasnt there for me anymore..after 7years of active modeling, i felt it was time to move on. So i started my very own modeling agency called Blackdove models Mgt. Its barely 2years old but i can say we've been very lucky as some of our models have done some really mouth-watering jobs.

Sometimes I miss the photosessions and the runway but I quess life goes on. Fortunately i enjoy what i do presently and I'm extremely passionate about my magazine...just watch out people...FM&B magazine will one day be compared with the likes of vogue, cosmo etc lol. say amen for me..Amen
