Clems Onyeka 2 Weeks Before Death: “Do you want me to die before you write about me”

I was shocked when I came across this early today, so I decided to share.
Nollywood actor Clems Onyeka was hit by a stray bullet during a gun duel between police and armed robbers in Asaba on Tuesday Oct. 14.
The twist is that Clems had joked about his death barely two weeks before he lost his life.
He had allegedly called Vanguard to ask to be written about after he clinched an award:
“My brother, I enjoy your column so much but nothing has ever been done on me yet, or are you waiting until I am dead before you write about me?” he queried.
Unfortunately that story was never written and like he predicted, his death has made headlines.

Heidi and Seal divorce is signed, sealed and delivered

There might have been whisperings of a reconciliation back in January but Heidi Klum and Seal are now officially divorced.
The former couple, who separated in 2012 after seven years of marriage, finalised legal proceeding on Tuesday.
And TMZ reveal it was a stress-free divorce, easily splitting property, with no spousal support offered despite the pair's lack of a prenup.
However, they did sign a postnup during their marriage, ensuring they kept their earning separate.
Earlier this year, TheFIX revealed that Seal had been enjoying "sleep overs" at Heidi's home in LA, with close pals wondering if it was the start of a reunion.
But a few weeks later, Heidi, 41, proved the couple weren't back together for the long haul by stepping out with her new toyboy fling, Vito Schnabel.
Was this the reason the couple finally pushed to finalise their divorce? Heidi filed for divorce in April 2012, so they've been dragging their feet for over two years.
The couple ended their romance just after Christmas with several reports stating that Seal's hot temper was to blame.
However, the pair appears to be playing the amicable post-split game, often spotted with their children in Los Angeles.

Wizkid Says ‘Jaiye Jaiye’ Was His Most Challenging Song

I must commend Wizkid for weathering the storm coming from all angles quite well.
The Nigeria’s Afro pop star, Wizkid has revealed the song he considers most difficult of those he has written since he started singing at the age of 11.
While speaking in an interview, the Star Boy boss was asked which is the most challenging song he has ever written yet and he replied: ‘I would say, when I made Jaiye Jiaye, I was confused, (wondering) if people were ready to accept the song.’ ‘I needed something to make it really special, because the song was pretty much special to me, so when I called Femi Kuti, he told me he was going to do it, I was shocked, we recorded it on different occasions just to make sure he wasn’t disappointed.’ ‘Jaiye Jaiye was a challenging song.’
Wizkid, who is on his way out of Empire Mates Entertainment, the record label that nurtured him to fame, is currently one of Nigeria’s biggest music stars.

2face: “I Don’t Shove Off Female Fans Who Have A Crush On Me, I Introduce Them To My Single Friends”

Ace musician, 2Face Idibia is without a single atom of doubt one of Nigeria’s finest and greatest artist of all time.
We all know 2Face gets paid heavily for shows but he has kept the amount he charges a secret for me, unlike some other artists who have boasted about how much they charge.
In a recent interview with Vanguard, the music legend was asked how much he charges per show and here’s what he had to say;
‘I don’t have a particular fixed fee, it depends on the kind of show and what it is all about.’
When asked on how he handles female fans and how he politely tells them off without making them upset;
For me it’s a case of ‘Hello, thank you very much’, I try to make them know that what they are looking for isn’t possible. I just say ‘Let me introduce you to one of my single friends’.

Justin Bieber and Barbara Palvin 'hooking up' to make Selena Gomez jealous

Justin Bieber, Barbara Palvin, Selena Gomez

The love saga between Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez continues.
Looks like Bieber's back to his douchey ways, with the 20-year-old reportedly hooking up with former flame Barbara Palvin to make ex Selena boil. Yep, the same wing-wearing Barbara Palvin he was linked to after the Victoria's Secret show in 2012.
"Right now he's hooking up with Barbara," a source told Hollywood Life. "They have been talking again. Justin is so annoyed that Selena's ignoring him and he knows that this would hurt her, so he's all for it." Bad idea, JB.
The source added: "Anything he can do to get her attention, he'll do. And if it's not good attention then he'll go for bad attention." WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU JUSTIN?!
Unfortunately for bratty Bieber, Selena's not bothered by her ex-boyfriend's attention-seeking ways... with the star leaning on best friend Taylor Swift for support. Probably because Tay's never been a mega-fan of the mega-douche.

"I didn't tell anybody -- my parents or teachers or friends or sisters…I know now that the worst thing you can do is suffer in silence," he said, urging other victims to speak up.

“I made ‘Boogie down’ song a hit, I did the song out of love from my heart.’
