REASONS WHY MEN DUMPS WOMEN AFTER SLEEPING WITH ME

I left Christianity For Hinduism Because I Found Peace Therein – Nollywood Actress

Nollywood actress, Biola Ige’s four-year journey in the Nigerian movie industry has been eventful. She’s been able to walk tall through her travails and today she’s one of the most sought after actresses in Nollywood


Biola recently suffered a growth of her thyroid gland. Her tongue, neck, complexion was affected, and it seemed as if her career was going to end on that sad note, but Biola made to India where the growth was successfully removed. And yes, Biola is living to fight another day. 

Having a supportive dad helped Biola realise her dreams. She told Vanguard she had always wanted to be an actress. But of course she wanted to star at the biggest stage; Hollywood. She was sure it was going to happen as her dad already promised her she was travelling to America after Secondary School, but it wasn’t meant to be. Biola’s dad didn’t have the means to send her lovely daughter abroad.

When it was obvious travelling abroad was a daydream, Biola made do with what was available. “I moved to Lagos after my University education. I went for auditions in Lagos and landed my first role in “Blindfold” produced by OJ Productions,” Biola said.

 Biola says she’s been around for a while, but her ailment meant she hasn’t featured in many movies. “Yes, I have been in the industry for about four years. I am proud of my achievement. I would have starred in more than fifty movies now, if not because of my sickness that took me to India. I am back in the country though lam not looking the same again. I am grateful to God for giving me my life back.”


Biola Ige said she was in India not only to have an operation on his thyroid, but also to worship. Yes, Biola says she worships as a Hindu.
“It was an avenue for me to worship my God and yes, l worship as an Hindu. I know what you may want to say. I do not see anything wrong with following any religion of your choice. It is a free world. And I choose Hinduism.”

Biola says she chose Hinduism because she found peace in the religion. She left Christianity for Hinduism. “I was a Hinduist before I travelled to India. I was a Christian before I changed my faith and I must tell you I have found peace in Hinduism. And in India, I felt at home. I didn’t feel like returning to Nigeria again because everyone was so nice to me.” 

The lady who loves controversy, Tonto Dike was involved in one with Biola Ige at a time with rumour Tonto was responsible for Biola’s ailment making rounds. Biola says she’s not friends with Tonto and believed she couldn’t possibly harm her.

“When I was sick, there were a lot of stories flying here and there that Tonto Dike was responsible for my sickness. But l didn’t believe it because we were not even friends before I fell sick. And why would Tonto Dike want to harm me when she has made a name for herself?” 

Biola says she doesn’t have time for any relationship at the moment, and suitors may have to wait three years as she says that’s the closest she is to getting married. But when Biola falls in love, she says it will be completely, and so she doesn’t see herself settling with a married man.

“When I am in a relationship, it takes my whole being and life. So if I am in love, l fall hopelessly in love, hence I cannot see myself loving another woman’s husband. I cannot share my man at all with any woman as I do not share my love.” 


The Osun-born actress who says her eyes are the sexiest part of her body doesn’t have issues with taking up roles involving love-making in movies.


“I won’t describe it as having s*x because it is drama- a make- believe world; hence everything done is not real. I would describe it as pretending to have s*x. And yes I have done that in many movies, but they were never real.” If You Enjoyed This, Please Click SHARE below to facebook or twitter thanks


Powers' Renewed for Second Season at PlayStation (Exclusive)

The comic book drama was the first original scripted series for the Sony-owned video gaming console. 
 
Powers has muscled its way to a second season.

The drama, based on the Image/Icon comic book of the same name, has been renewed for a second season at PlayStation, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

Powers, based on Brian Michael Bendis' comic, stars Sharlto Copley as a cop who works in the Powers division of the police force and deals with crimes involving those endowed with special abilities. The drama will return in 2016.

The drama was originally developed at FX — including going to pilot — before it landed at producer Sony Pictures Television's corporate sibling PlayStation as the console's first original scripted drama with a 10-episode straight-to-series pickup and a new cast including Susan Heyward, Eddie Izzard and Michelle Forbes.

Powers ranks as PlayStation Network's most-watched series premiere on the platform, with all of season one available to PlayStation Network and free to PlayStation Plus subscribers.
"The reception to Powers has been incredible, and we are thrilled to have successfully launched a platform for original content with the PlayStation gamer in mind," said John Koller, vp platforms marketing at Sony Computer Entertainment America. “We believe original content will continue to be a key pillar as we broaden the value proposition for PlayStation Plus, and we’re excited for what’s to come with season two of Powers.”

Powers is produced by Jinxworld and Circle of Confusion in association with SPT. Comics scribe Charlie Huston exec produces alongside Remi Aubuchon, Bendis and comics co-creator Michael Avon Oeming, David Engel, Lawrence Mattis, David Alpert and Frank Frattaroli.

"There is a lot to look forward to in season two for both new and existing fans of the series, as we broaden the Powers universe and bring even more of the fan-favorite characters and storylines to life," said Jamie Erlicht, president of programming and development at SPT.

Powers was the latest comics-to-the-small-screen series to debut as part of the fall's big bet on genre. It joins Netflix's recently renewed Daredevil — the first of Marvel's five series for the streaming service — as well as ABC's Agents of SHIELD and Agent Carter — and DC Comics properties Gotham (Fox), The Flash (The CW), Arrow (The CW) and Constantine (NBC).

'Harry Potter' Actor Joins 'The Flash' Season 3 As Series Regular

In what is definitely some of the best casting news we have heard this year, Harry Potter alumni Tom Felton is joining The Flash for its third season as a series regular.

Felton is best known to audiences worldwide for his role as the devious Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter franchise — a role which he portrayed from 2001's Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone all the way up to the 2011's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2. He has since starred in Rise of the Planet of the Apes and In Secret opposite Elizabeth Olsen and Jessica Lange.

According to TVLine, he will be portraying Julian Dorn, a fellow CSI at the Central City Police Department who "suspects there’s more to Barry Allen than just his good guy reputation." Julian's description sounds like the one released when it was announced that The Flash was casting a major recurring character who was described as:

"Barry's slightly older, slightly geekier contemporary, a guy who is as smart as he is intuitive. As such, this newcomer doesn't buy Barry’s nice guy routine and sets out to learn what he's hiding — all while concealing some secrets of his own". 

Could this have been an early profile of Julian Dorn, or will Barry have made two new enemies during Season 3? Either way, we know Felton will be a series regular so expect big things for Julian Dorn.

The Flash star Grant Gustin took to twitter to celebrate when he heard the announcement:

Wait. I completely missed the @TomFelton announcement. I know what character he must be playing and I just got SO excited for this season.

— Grant Gustin (@grantgust) June 30, 2016

Could Julian Dorn's presence be part of that change? Is it possible that Barry's altering of the timeline could affect who we works with? It could happen when — or perhaps if — they end up salvaging their original timeline.

The show has quite the reputation for paying homage to Harry Potter during its two year run, with characters constantly referring to it. Who could ever forget when Cisco commanded the lightning and shouted "Expecto Patronum!"? Furthermore, the Season 2 episode "Flash Back" had quite a few Harry Potter Easter eggs in it, such as the Time Wraith which was noted as being strikingly similar to Harry Potter's Dementors. 

In fact, three of the show's characters — Hartley, Cisco and Caitlin — were even compared to Harry, Ron and Hermione. Expect the Harry Potter love to continue when Felton joins the cast.

With Tom Felton joining the cast and the show's tackling of the Flashpoint storyline, expect things to get a lot more magical than usual in Central City when The Flash returns to the CW on October 4th.

In the words of Hartley Rathaway:

This got many talking and wondering how this happened

FIFA Congress drives football forward, first female secretary general appointed

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ng-a_5NtPtk?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>








The 66th FIFA Congress kicked off a new era for FIFA and global football with the announcement of a “step change” in FIFA’s investment in football development, new FIFA Secretary General Fatma Samoura, progress on the implementation of the reforms, and the FIFA Legends programme.
FIFA Forward: a new, tailor-made development programme
To build on his manifesto pledges, FIFA President Gianni Infantino presented “FIFA Forward”, a complete overhaul of FIFA’s football development programmes. FIFA Forward provides 360-degree, tailor-made support for football development in each of FIFA’s member associations and the six confederations. FIFA will significantly increase its investment to USD 5 million for each member association per four-year cycle for football projects and support for running costs. The use of funds will be monitored closely through enhanced compliance, accountability and transparency, with all member associations required to publish independent audits of their finances as per the new “FIFA Forward” regulations.
UN official Fatma Samba Diouf Samoura appointed FIFA Secretary General
President Infantino announced the appointment by the FIFA Council of Fatma Samba Diouf Samoura (Senegal) as FIFA’s new secretary general, the first woman and African to hold this post. Ms Samoura is a 21-year veteran of United Nations programmes who is currently the UN’s Resident/Humanitarian Coordinator and UNDP Resident Representative in Nigeria. As required under FIFA’s statutes, Ms Samoura will undergo an eligibility check by the independent Review Committee, per article 37 of the FIFA Statutes. Ms Samoura will assume the role of secretary general before mid-June.
“Fatma is a woman with international experience and vision who has worked on some of the most challenging issues of our time,” said President Infantino. “She has a proven ability to build and lead teams, and improve the way organisations perform. Importantly for FIFA, she also understands that transparency and accountability are at the heart of any well-run and responsible organisation.”
Reforms in action
FIFA updated its member associations on the progress in the implementation of the reform process since new measures were approved in February. Reforms are now operational within FIFA’s structures: 
·       Enhanced compliance for revenue and spending
·       Eligibility checks for new members of committees and senior positions
·       Publication of individual compensation of senior FIFA officials
·       Appointment of first independent members on key committees
The president announced the creation of a women’s football division in the FIFA administration to further support the promotion and development of women’s football.
Regular “football summits” for member associations will start in the third quarter of 2016, with inter-confederation conferences involving about 20 associations designed to address important regional topics in football.
FIFA Legends programme
Clarence Seedorf and Sun Wen presented the “FIFA Legends programme” which will support the organisation’s goal of giving a stronger voice to people directly involved in football. The FIFA Legends Team is designed to bring together former top players from the men’s and women’s game to promote and support football and its wider mission around the world, and to give something back to the game. 
The Legends will focus on three main activities:
·       The FIFA Legends on Tour – Four two-day tours will take place in the first year, including additional events from grassroots clinics to fundraising and fan engagement.
·       The FIFA Legends Forum – think-tank sessions as started yesterday in Mexico will create a platform to hear their views on current football affairs. These views will be shared with top decision-makers, authorities and policy committees in football.
·       The FIFA Legends Initiatives – Members of the Legends Team will act as ambassadors in key areas such as event promotion, football development, women’s football, diversity, health and sustainability projects.
Kosovo and Gibraltar admitted as FIFA members
The FIFA Congress followed the recommendation of the FIFA Council and confirmed the admission of Kosovo (141 "yes" to 23 "no" of valid votes cast) and Gibraltar (172 "yes" to 12 "no" of valid votes cast) as the 210th and 211th FIFA members. Both associations will be entitled to take part in the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, with UEFA tasked to look into the best way to integrate Kosovo and Gibraltar in the preliminary competition.
Election of new FIFA committee members:
·       Governance Committee: Luís Miguel Poiares Maduro (Portugal) has been elected as Chairman and Mukul Mudgal (India) as Deputy Chairman. Both will also head the independent Review Committee. Luis Felipe Cantuarias Salaverry (Peru) was elected as a member of this Committee.
·       Disciplinary Committee: John Simmonds (Jamaica), Leonardo Carlos Stagg Peña (Ecuador) and Carlos Manuel Terán Valero (Venezuela) have been elected as members.
·       Ethics Committee: Akihiro Hara (Japan), Oscar Vicente Scavone Rivas (Paraquay) and Anin Yeboah (Ghana) have been elected as members in the Adjudicatory Chamber.
·       Audit & Compliance: Enrique Bonilla (Mexico) and Jorge del Solar Bueno (Bolivia) have been elected as new members.
·       The Congress authorised the Council to appoint office holders for the remaining vacant positions within the judicial bodies, the Audit & Compliance Committee and the Governance Committee until the 67th FIFA Congress, and to dismiss any office holder of these committees until the 67th FIFA Congress.
Ahead of the FIFA Congress, the Council also appointed the following Committee members, including former international top players Luis Figo, Mia Hamm and Theodoros Zagorakis:
·       Independent members:
o   Finance Committee: Vanessa Ames Wittman (USA); Theodoros Zagorakis (Greece)
o   Development Committee: Deputy Chairman Luis Figo (Portugal); Deputy Chairwoman Mia Hamm (USA)
·       Football Stakeholders Committee:
o   Chairman Ramón Jesurún (Colombia)
o   Deputy Chairman: Karl-Heinz Rummenigge (Germany)
o   Deputy Chairman: Didier Drogba (Côte d’Ivoire / TBC)
Other decisions:
·       Ahead of the Congress, the FIFA Council lifted the suspension of the Football Association of Indonesia imposed in May 2015.
·       The Congress confirmed the suspensions of Benin and Kuwait, and asked the FIFA Council to lift these suspensions as soon as the necessary requirements are fulfilled.
·       The Congress extended the mandate of the FIFA Monitoring Committee Israel-Palestine, which was set up by the 65th FIFA Congress in 2015. Chaired by Tokyo Sexwale, the committee reported progress in facilitating the free movement of Palestinian people and goods connected with football. The FIFA President announced that he would travel to Palestine and Israel to help resolve the outstanding issue of five clubs playing in the disputed area that are affiliated to the Israel Football Association.

Great Shock as 120 Disgruntled Aso Rock Workers Turn Against Buhari, Mocks Buhari

facebook.com
Many of the workers working in the Presidential Villa, Abuja, have expressed their disappointment over what they described, as a sycophantic meeting hurriedly organised by President Muhammadu Buhari, on Wednesday, June 21, a few days after returning from his 14-day medical vacation leave in London.
After the meeting, the workers groaned that the presidency kept them in the heat of the sun, only to end up, “hearing the same old song of jailing looters without considering their welfare”.
According to the Cable; “When Aso Rock staff got a circular on Wednesday morning, directing them to attend an “emergency meeting” with President Muhammadu Buhari, they were thrilled.
“Many of them thought it was going to be a heart-to-heart talk, and had planned to discuss burning welfare issues with the president. Indeed, many of them were glad they would see him closely for the first time in their lives.”
Reacting to the meeting, a worker said: “You can then imagine our shock when the State House permanent secretary (Jalal Arbi), who led us to the meeting, told the president we only came to welcome him back from his medical trip.”
Femi Adesina, the presidential spokesman, had said staff from 12 departments of the State House came to bid Buhari, a “warm welcome”.

Young Justice Season 3 Possibility Is Very Real Says Greg Weisman




The past year or so has seen a lot of renewed interest in a Young Justice Season 3.
Last August saw "#renewyoungjustice" trend worldwide on Twitter.
Some of the actors involved even hinted the series could come back especially through Netflix, which carries the first two Young Justice seasons.
Now series creator Greg Weisman says the "possibility is very real" for Young Justice Season 3.
The Christopher Niosi YouTube channel caught up with Weisman who offered in order to get a Young Justice Season 3, fans can:
1. Watch Young Justice Season 1 and 2 on Netflix (as many times as possible).
2. Buy NEW copies of the DVDs and/or digital copies through Amazon and iTunes (WB doesn't get any revenue from old/used copies).
3. Purchase the Young Justice digital comics through Comixology to show WB there is interest.
"This is not me blowing smoke," Weisman offered. "I truly believe it is possible. I want to be clear, I got no guarantee. I don't even work at Warner Bros. anymore. I work at Nickelodeon. But I've had a couple conversations with the folks at Warner Bros., and even a conversation with some folks at Netflix, and I have a basic understanding of how this works. So what I'm offering isn't a guarantee, it's a viable strategy. It's something that is real, that can help us get a third season of the show."
Weisman then went on to explain why Young Justice was cancelled.
"The thing to keep in mind was why the show was cancelled in the first place," Weisman said. "And it's a very simple equation. I've seen all sorts of rumors and stuff on the internet. I debunk the same damn rumors over and over, but the actual truth is very straightforward. I'm sure there are other little complications involved, but they're minor compared to the big thing, which was the budget for the show was paid for by money we received by Mattel in exchange for the toy license. When the toy line for Young Justice failed, and you could have a whole eight hour discussion on why it failed, that's so beside the point that it doesn't matter. The toy line failed. The money from Mattel stopped coming in. There was no money to make the show. It's that simple."
Weisman continues with mention how they can bring Young Justice back (see three ways above).
"Why that is important, it's not some conspiracy or that it has the wrong audience, it's not any of those things. The reason why it's important to know why it was cancelled is because that's the key to figure out how to bring it back. What can we do to pay for the show in a different way? The answer to that is you want to demonstrate, specifically to Warner Bros., also to a number of companies that sort of hover around, or divisions that hover around Warner Bros. animation, that there are alternative ways to pay for the show. So first and foremost, what I'm asking people to do is [use the hashtag] #KeepBingingYJ. That first hashtag is mostly about Netflix.
Weisman then goes on to note that hype for Young Justice needs to stay big and be consistent, not just trend one day on Valentine's Day, and notes it is working.
"Those are the three real ways that we can affect things, and what I will say is that it seems to have had an affect, I don't have any inside information, but it's clear that Warner Bros. and Netflix are at least having a conversation. I don't know if we're close. I don't know if we are far away, but the fact they are talking at all, that's promising. So it's working, but again, it's a long haul. It's a marathon, not a sprint."

Niger Delta Avengers Panic as Buhari Makes Very Powerful Move




President Muhammadu Buhari, has offered to meet personally with the Niger Delta Avengers, through the Governors, Elders and other stakeholders in the Niger Delta Region, as part of his efforts towards seeking peace in the region, following renewed sabotage of oil and gas installations by the militants.
President of the Ijaw Youth Council, IYC, Udens Eradiri, disclosed this on Saturday, June 25, explaining that the Presidency has contacted elders and stakeholders to inform them of Buhari’s intention to dialogue.
Buhari’s response came few hours, when the Niger Delta Avengers, in a Statement called on the President to visit the Niger Delta region, and see the impact of destruction of oil wells on communities for himself.
The militant group added: “President Buhari should borrow a leaf from PM David Cameron, call for a referendum and let Nigerians decide, like they did to vote you into power”.
 
They also posted a map of Nigeria, split into five distinct republics. Recall, that few months ago, the militants had threatened to ‘kill’ the President, if he dares step his foot in the Nigeria Delta Region, during the launching of the cleanup of Ogoni Land.
They also vowed to launch missiles and attack Aso Rock, the Presidential seat of power ,among others.
Meanwhile, Eradiri, has commended the President, for heeding to the IYC’s advice to use dialogue in resolving the crisis in the region.
 
“We want to commend the president, because I heard from the grapevine from one of our foremost Governors and leaders of Ijaw land this morning (Saturday), when he said that they have been invited by the President for an engagement with respect to the Niger Delta crisis”.

Elsewhere, oil production in the country, now hovers around 1.8 million barrels per day, from 2.5m barrels per day, following the militants’ constant attacks.
 

Saraki On The Run as President Buhari Writes Very Threatening Letter to Him Over Forgery Scandal




President Muhammadu Buhari, through the Attorney-General of the of the Federation, AGF, Abubakar Malami, has on Thursday night, called on Senate President, Bukola Saraki, and three others accused of forging the Senate Order, to defend themselves before the court, rather than trading blames.
This came at the heels of the accusation by the Senate, that the charge of forgery against Saraki, his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu, and two others, amounted to an abuse of the principle of separation of powers.
Charged with the Senate president and the deputy Senate president, are former Clerk of the National Assembly, Salisu Maikasuwa, and Clerk of the Senate, Bernard Efeturi.
Malami, in a statement by his Media Aide, Salihu Isah, said it was within his constitutional powers to initiate criminal proceedings against anybody, where any of the investigating agencies has established a prima facie case against such suspect.
The AGF, who faulted the arguments by Saraki and others named in the forgery scandal, urged them to go before the court and explain their roles in the case, rather than accusing him of violating the Legislative arm.
“It is not in doubt that each arm of government is constitutionally-vested with distinct powers. Looking critically at the doctrine of the separation of powers, it is a practice that exists on a tripod viz, the executive, legislature and judiciary, with clearly distinctive functions and responsibilities, as captured under the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended).
“So, by virtue of this, we are committed to the rule of law and will thus, keep to the tenets of the rule of law, as enshrined in a constitutional democracy like ours.





“The Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation, is empowered under Section 174 (1) of the Constitution and vested with the power to undertake and initiate criminal proceedings in any court of law in Nigeria”.


He added, “By virtue of this power as the Chief Law Officer of the nation, he has simply initiated criminal proceedings for forgery against the affected principal officers in the Senate, for altering the Senate Standing Rules in the Federal High Court.


“It is worthy to note here, that the action of the Attorney-General of the Federation, can stand the test of any law, since he did not act on a vacuum.
“He acted based on a recommendation by the Inspector General of Police (IGP), who having fully satisfied investigative procedure arising from the petition, sent to the Nigerian Police by some aggrieved members of the Red Chambers of the National Assembly, alleging that the affected officers altered the Rules of the Senate for Dr. Bukola Saraki and Ike Ekweremadu, to emerge leaders of the Eighth (8th) Senate of the National Assembly.
“Under the 1999 Constitution, only the Attorney-General of the Federation has the power to institute criminal proceedings.
“For the benefit of doubt, as stated above, there was a petition bordering on allegations of forgery against the defendants, the petition was investigated by the police and the police recommended the case for prosecution.
“At this point, the question is how initiation of criminal proceedings against Dr Bukola Saraki, Ike Ekweremadu, Salisu Maikasuwa and Bernard Efeturi violated the principle of separation of powers as contained in the Constitution?
“The action of the Attorney General of the Federation cannot obviously be said to be a coup against the National Assembly as the Senate has claimed.
“By preferring the charge, the accused persons are entitled to fair hearing under the law while the prosecution is obligated to prove its case against them beyond reasonable doubts.
“Therefore, the Attorney General of the Federation has not violated any known law in the land. Or is the Senate suggesting that its principal officers, members and staff of the National Assembly are above the law or enjoy same immunity as do the nation’s President and Governors?
“It is common knowledge over the years since the nation embraced democratic system of governance and backed by the current Constitution those elected officers of government who are exempted from legal encumbrances whether it is civil or criminal are known to all.
“It is pertinent to be reminded too, that forgery of the Senate Standing Rules cannot be described as the internal business of the National Assembly that is exclusively only in its purview”.
