HELEN OMORODION INEGBENIKI AT 4 DECADES & FOUR

Mrs. Helen Nwanne Inegbeniki nee Omorodion, is a very well known lady who needs no plenty or highfalutin introduction. A wealthy woman by all standards, both on her own by virtue of her own family, she's one of the children of the Odunanoba of Benin Kingdom, Prince Dr. Henry Omorodion and the sister to a her late billionaire elder sibling Prince Terry Uche Omorodion and then well consolidated by virtue of the fact that she is the wife of mercurial businessman and oil and gas money bag, Chief Francis Inegbeniki, the owner of Ineh Oil, who is a also a real estate juggernaut whom she got married to in 2014 at a most lavish (outlandish) of ceremonies, that got everyone's attention, due to the perceived amount of money that must have been spent to make it happen. Helen's mom is Barrister Chief (Mrs.)Philomena Omorodion, SAN aka Nwabuogho who would be 66 come July of 2020.

Over the years, anything, be it party, event of any kind that the Omorodion's or Inegbeniki hosts, were always a must be at. People always used to fall over themselves to get the invites or to be invited to their dos. All their parties were always off the hook, tipping the scale and extravagant, quite outlandish to put it lightly. And when we say extravagant, we aren't just talking about the plush food and drinks made available; by extravagance we mean in all ramifications, that includes the gifts that are given to those lucky enough to attend.

Just imagine parties where televisions, mobile phones, small fridges and other things are shared lavishly. Hmmmmmmm, so you now very well understand what we mean by positive extravagance. The food and drinks were a given. So the scramble for the invites were always epic.

So just juxtapose such expected lavishness side by side the quietude that now obtains in the life of the same person, as the lady of the house, who is the elder sibling of Nollywood practitioner, Lisa Omorodion, is 44 today.

She seem to have adopted this her more circumspect lifestyle since her beloved, very handsome and quite wealthy elder brother passed on due to complications of illness nor too too long ago. His untimely and painful passing hit the family very hard as he was a much loved person and a pillar of strength to all, in a closely knit family.

So today on her 44th birthday, instead of the expected jamboree like party that all were expecting, it's more like an exclusive dinner instead, to celebrate her hitting 2 scores and 4 years.

From us at Maestro's Media here, we happily say to her, a happy birthday and a more fun and fruitful and healthier years ahead.

Long may you live. 

WHEN 2 🐘 ELEPHANTS BATTLES, THE LESSER OF THE ELEPHANTS TAKES A BACK SIT & CHILLS IN IGNOMINY

So we nearly forgot, but thank God we remembered and it's better late than never at all. So you all remember the epic back ti back concerts that heralded the new year. December of 2019 was an epic one by all standards, fun wise it was packed full in every way you can imagine it. From Cardi B to Megan thee Stallion to Future to Zlatan to Wizkid to Burna Boy to Tiwa Savage To 2Baba to Davido to Kizz Daniel etc.

If you were a music star worth your salt, you would have been featured one way or the other. If you didn't show at any of the major shows, it just meant you would need to work more on your craft. 2020 sure plans to be fact more epic from the look of things. Both international stars and home grown stars would fall over themselves to outdo each other. Thanks to Cardi B, our PR has literally shut up to the stratosphere and totally gone out of the roof top, in fact has blown off the roof top.

So at one of the biggest shows of late 2019 which was that of Burna Boy an epic drama played out that we are too sure would still have residual effect most likely and most definitely. And if we can tag it correctly it was the battle of 2 humongous elephants, with excellent bragging rights all on their own. We can bet they would both try to do damage control after this story comes out, like it never happened.

On one side you have one of the best entertainment products/brands Nigeria has ever produced in the movie industry, in the person of the great giant with a Lionheart by the initials GN. She's is the award winning thespian extraordinaire. A super stylish mother of one at that. Whose flick caused a whole lot of brouhaha, when it was removed by a technicality from standing for one of the best international awards in 2019. On the other side we have a renowned professional, who was excellent in HR before she invested greatly in the entertainment industry where she has become an award winning colossus. She has been tagged our very own Oprah Winfrey and at the rate she's going, she would most probably become one of the richest and probably the most influential in the industry in not too long. She's not a local champion at all, as she's everyday gaining more & more international (clout) recognition by her deft moves. She's in fact one of Africa's most stylish human being alive bar none.

So like we said the mild drama unfolded at the Burna Boy sold out show at the Eko Hotel Convention Center. The place was packed out to the rafters. Those who were fortunate to have bought their tickets made crazy, easy money by reselling such tickets at exorbitant prices to willing buyers. Everyone wanted to watch the rave of the moment, the ultimate one for the season, so with demand vastly outstripping supply, the price shut up to the sky. It was at the venue of the show that 2 super stars literally clashed, though not necessarily face to face or Mano a Mano.

From a very trusted source-

So the renowned actress was a part of Wizkid's surging entourage that had come in into the venue. So check it out; MA and her homies (RO etc) were on the table right in front of us. We were VVIP so like directly on top of hers which was VIP.  MA is rocking out, and Wizkid enters the spot with his entourage.  Genny and that her homegirl Chinny are with Wiz’s gang.  Obviously everyone is greeting Wiz and Genny.  They now 'parked' right in front of MA’s table. Like right in front.  Full dancing and shii, blocking MA and them.  MA starts trying to tell them to move, Genny blanks.  Meanwhile bodyguards etc dey.  MA don dey frustrate, starts calling people left and right.  All blanking off.  Genny now looks back at MA gesticulating and goes ‘What??!!’  MA tries to respond like ‘you’re blocking me,’ and Genny gesticulates back ‘Fuck off!  Come and move me now.’  Genny gangster o.  MA still dey try yarn, Genny goes ‘I’ll pull of that wig off your fucking head, try me if you get mind.’  Debola now comes and goes to MA who starts reporting.  Debola sef, feeling like a peacemaker, now tries to go and talk to Genny.  Genny puts her hand up like ‘talk to the hand,’ and starts yarning with someone else.  Her homie is cracking up laughing bye.  She looks back and Debola is still there, she tells him to ‘Gerrout! Now!’  Guy was shamed, just quietly faded.  Omo then Geknny no budge throughout o.  MA’s friends had to stand on table to watch concert.  MA weak.  Until the end.  Dem Genny come bounce out with entourage at the end, still popping off hardcore.  

Genny 1- MA-0

Would there be a retaliation???? 

FILMMAKER EXTRAORDINAIRE KEMI ADETIBA CLOCKS THE BIG 40

Better late than not at all. So we nearly forgot. Not that we forgot totally, we apparently thought that we had already celebrated her to high heavens already. And that's because she deserves, without and reservations whatsoever to be celebrated, most especially on this occasion as she clocks 40.

So we are talking about non other than Kemi Adetiba, one of our very own top film maker, film director extraordinaire or like she self describes herself-The visual troublemaker (story teller). If you don't know her at all, at least we are too sure you would know of her or would have encountered or come across something that has to do with her before at one point or the other. But just in case, your memories might have escaped you for any reason, let's quickly help you juggle it a bit.

If you have heard about 'King of Boys', that soar away, highly successful & award winning Nigerian drama, that had the likes of Sola Sobowale, Reminisce, Adesuwa Wellington and others featuring powerfully in it and also the Nigerian movie of the season in 2016, that's talking about 'The Wedding Party 1', a film produced by the inimitable Mo Abudu, that broke all records at the Nigerian box office and starred the likes of super stars RMD, Sola Sobowale, Bankole 'Banky W' Wellington, Ali 'the numero uno' Baba and many others. If you then know these 2 great Nigerian movies, then you must have heard of or about the incredibly talented 'New York Film Academy alumni, Kemi Adetiba.

Long before she added the tag of filmmaker extraordinaire to her her resume, the lady born on January 8, 1980 had honed are skills as an award winning music video director of note, having worked with the likes of Niyiola, Waje, Bez, Lynxxx, Banky W, TY Bello, Tiwa Savage, Olamide Wizkid and a hosts of others.

From being a popular, very good OAP at Rhythm FM where she began her career, to presenting on TV to now becoming one of the masters behind the camera. it has been a roller-coaster sort of experience for this Lagos born strong Feline.

So on this occasion of her clocking 40 (2 scores on earth, a whole 4 decades already) and entering into the rarefied club of elders, we congratulate her and wish for her more healthy and successful and award filled years ahead.

Happy birthday dear.

Long may you live. 

After THE UNPALATABLE REACTIONS TO HIS ASSERTION OVER NAIRA MARLEY'S DEMON PROPHECY, SELF-STYLED APOSTLE CHRIS OMASHOLA REACTS & RESPONDS ROBUSTSLY.

Apostle Chris Omashola 

Naira Marley

If you don't have the guts and cannot receive a return reaction or response that can be below the belt, you had better not stir the hornets nest and say anything against the Marlians or their leader, Akeem Fashola aka Naira Marley, whose is currently, one of the most popular Nigerian music star/entertainer today.

By his arrest sometime in early 2019, the EFCC someway, somehow in trying to do their job may have given validation or credence to an underground rising or still struggling star in the making and inadvertently, made him a star, with an unbelievable fan base to follow, who are referred to as Marlians.

The EFCC are the official bridge to Naira Marley’s rise and we are too sure that wasn't in their faintest plans at all. Maybe if there was a way they could have reversed what has now exploded, they would actually have done something about it. For many his arrest was what brought him tk their consciousness.

Since the dude emerged on the scene or better still busted out into our consciousness, you would be surprised by the number of other stars and celebrities who are closet Marlians. The growing movement from what we have learn't, is growing and increasing in leaps  and bounds daily and woe betides the person or persons that becomes the subject of their anger or negative attention. For these people, nothing is sacred or too low to use. They would engage you without any fear whatsoever and use whatever weapon is at their disposal. The Marlians, someway, somewhat and somehow, believes that they have some uncanny connect to their head and face-Naira Marley. So to them, an attack on one, is an attack on all. So in a way, their battle cry has somewhat become, "one for all and all for one". So just imagine have such a crowd as your enemy?

So self-styled Apostle of Christ, Chris Omashola of Zion of Life Assembly (ZOLA) in his predictions for 2020 had come out to say Naira Marley's songs are demonic and devil inspired, he apparently even said the musician himself is a DEMON, who needed to repent before it was too late.

Naira and his Marlians are said to have taken exception to such a tag and description and they went for the pastor's jugular. Same way they had done in their public fight with Policewoman Dolapo and ace veteran music star Ruggedman, who was even physically attacked in London, by this lot. Imagine them bringing attention back to the pastor's former misdemeanor, which had gone negatively viral when it occurred a few years back.

Apostle Chris Omashola had been involved in a quite unpalatable and terribly undermining sex scandal with a female member of his church, the leaked video of his lascivious actions is still available online for all to see on some porn site. So Naira Marley shooting from the hip with guns blazing in a way to get his own pound of flesh, apparently munched or took a screen shot of that debacle and posted same as a cryptic response to Apostle Chris Omashola's supposed or better still blind siding attack. Just imagine the avalanche of attack that immediately came against the man of God afterwards.

All of the bad reactions from Naira Marley and fans apparently got to Apostle Omashola and he has retorted thus-

“My sex tape issue is in my past and I have been forgiven by God. Nobody can intimidate me with it. I knew I sinned and I asked God for forgiveness and He has since forgiven me.”

“The bible says all have sinned and come short of God’s glory and God takes delight in the repentance of his children. I knew my wrong and went to ask God for forgiveness and he has forgiven me. It is now left for Naira Marley to heed God’s counsel and seek forgiveness. His music is not edifying to God and to anybody. It is demonic and misleading.”

I am not ashamed or cannot be shamed by Marlians of my yesterday’s mistakes which I have since repented from and God has forgiven me of. I have gone through series of repentance process as a man and with my head up and shoulders high, I have moved passed that. Come to think of it, what is Naira Marley’s Legacy to this generation?”

SELF-STYLED APOSTLE & MAN OF GOD CHRIS OMASHOLA CONTRADICTS SELF IN PROPHECY GIVEN ABOUT CURRENT MUSIC SENSATION NAIRA MARLEY

Naira Marley 

It's very early in the year and it's that time of the season that many so called men of god (God), starts the mad jostling to get the attention of very many at all cost. It's at that time they try to stake their reputation online for all. So that if by coincidence something they have said hits home, they know that the people, extremely gullible ones at that and some major foolish ones, would come rushing to them seeking for answers and solutions to their issues, problems. We have observed that many of those who actually call themselves lovers of God, are only actually loving or worshipping due to what they feel or believe they can get only from the God. Many are not true worshippers, but are in fact just miracle seekers or intervention seekers alone. Take away their issues or problems and they would have soon forgotten the so called God. So these sorts are easy pickings for liars and deceivers that have flooded the world.

We all know that poverty has so conditioned many to such an extent, that logic and common sense have both taken flight and therefore, instead of common sense to exist, many have embarked on the flight of fancy and are openly embracing just about anything that comes from any man or woman, who claims they are hearing or have heard from God. There is actually the true character of the God and there are things that are ascribed to Him, that He can never ever actually agree to. Many only know God by assumptions only. And that's the same God that can be accurately proven. The one that says those that KNOW their God, shall be strong and would do exploits.

Things have been so confusing that even supposed gifted seers have had to accuse each other of either being fakes or charlatans (Primate Ayodele Elijah vs. Father Ejike Mbaka). Just imagine that they are all at the same time claiming to hear from the 'True God' "in whom there's no darkness at all neither shadow of turning" and what they portray of that so called God, is one that speaks with many tongues or a God that's extremely confused!!!! Doesn't that just go against the very grain of the fact that He is all knowing?????

If truly they have heard from God and it is infact the same God that is speaking to them, shouldn't their messages be the same? Shouldn't such messages tally or have the semblance of unity? All these shenanigans actually exposes them as it has been said that, "by their fruits, you shall know them". What then is their FRUITS? The fruit is the edible part of a plant or tree, the edible part of these so called men of god, are their WORDS. Theirs are are actually dead words, that do not nourish any in anyway!

How can the so called God, say one thing to one and in the same vein say another thing entirely that contradicts another? From the evidences that abounds in the scriptures, it is quite obvious that God doesn't speak to the multitudes. He doesn't and would never. God actually has something to say about barbarians, that we have all known for God knows how long now-Barbarians speaks in thousands (God ain't no barbarian). His mode of operation is to seek out one (person) & via that one person, who would be noted as God's mouthpiece, His Trumpet, who must also decipher accurately what God is saying for that generation, He through that one person communicates to the multitudes. He picked Enoch for his own generation, then He picked Noah for his own generation, then he picked Abraham for his own generation, then he picked Moses for his own generation, then he picked Joshua for his own generation, then he picked Apostle Peter for his generation......

So here now in this write up, we are not in anyway or manner for that matter holding briefs for or in anyway defending Naira Marley for any reason that maybe he is or isn't a Demon as proclaimed by the so called man of God, but we have thought to examine the so called prophecy or words as delivered by the self-styled Apostle of God by the name Chris Omashola.

For us, it is about portraying God as He truly is and portraying the church of God also in the proper way. The era of gullible followers, who would just accept just about anything hook, line & sinker & wouldn't examine all truths to ascertain the real, should be over. Christians should imbibe strongly the scriptures that says "study to make thyself approved".

The preacher said thus-

”In 2020, God told me, Naira Marley is A Demon, He is Satanic and should repent before it’s too late. His songs are demonically inspired to destroy the Destiny of The Youths of this generation, Nigerian youths should desist from calling themselves Marlians”.

If God actually said to this man that someone is a DEMON, how can that True God, who is knowledgeable and His infact the very definition of Wisdom in the same vein now actually contradict Himself by saying a Demon should then REPENT!!!!

Can a Demon, a most despicably evil entity, who can never ever repent, who are in fact extremely wicked and destroys. Demons do not have bodies of their own but they express their being through infesting others. Such entities don't and can never repent. They are eternal enemies. So when a man of God addresses someone as a Demon and then says he should repent, it leaves much to the imagination. Yes, it is possible that Naira Marley’s songs [could] be inspired from the dark side. But that he is a Demon and that he should repent is an Error. An error that shouldn't be postulated by a knowledgeable Man of God.

NOTE WELL: You must not and should not and cannot preach the Truth of God based on or founded on inaccuracy! Even if it's the faintest of error. God's Word has the character of God! So it must be preached plainly and without ambiguity.

Please please please, don't lie to try to please God, He wants nothing of it. Peace 

SAD NEW YEAR TRAGEDY HITS NOLLYWOOD AS JENNIFER OMOLE Dies SUDDENLY

It's a sad sad story especially as it's just the 6th day of the new year 2020. While some are still elated and heaving a sigh of great relief for making another new year, especially starting a new decade with vigor and great belief. While many are so happy that it's another opportunity to change certain things about their lives, at the same time some are already mourning. Crying tears of regret as their loved ones, who some have thought would probably live forever have suddenly passed on and gone to the great beyond.

Truly the real fact is and without mincing words too, death is a creep, a thief, a destroyer and is actually the most vicious, most uncaring, most terrible enemy of man. And that terrible entity known to many as the grim reaper as struck again, leaving tears, anguish and pain in its wake. And one of it's early candidate in this new year is a Nollywood practitioner, a budding thespian by the name Jennifer Omole.

The dark skinned lady who is an actress and a producer and in fact the owner of Jennis Film Production Ltd and a good friend of both Uche Ogbodo and Victoria Inyama, passed away suddenly on January 3, 2020 just a few days into the new year leaving just memories of all that's great and good about her behind for her people and fans and other loved ones.

Life truly is fleeting. And like the great 'Elton John' sang, the life is like a candle🕯 in the wind. You are here today and could be gone like a puff of wind in the next second.

Her good friend and colleague, Uche announced her demise on her IG page with obvious pain thus-

On 3rd January My Dearest Friend @jenniferomole Passed On. I’m Hurting Deep In My Heart but Only God Knows Best. Pls Say A Rest In Peace Prayer for My Girl.”

May the soul of the dearly departed find rest. May her family members and friends and other loved ones have the fortitude to bear the sad and terribly untimely loss. 

PREPARATIONS IN HIGH GEAR FOR THE 80TH BIRTHDAY OF INDUSTRIALIST EXTRAORDINAIRE AARE RAZAK OKOYA

The D-day is Saturday, January 11, 2020 of the year of our Lord. And on that date all roads would lead to the palatial edifice of Chief Dr. Razak Akanni Okoya, CON, which is known to most as 'Oluwa ni shola' (God alone makes wealth) Estate. It is truly a vast estate by all standards with all the works. The great man built the palatial edifice to be a one a one stop place, with a sizable event hall on the estate that can easily accommodate a thousand effortlessly. We doubt if ever there's another estate this colossal in Lagos.

On the date of the gathering, which is Saturday the 11th, a day to his actual date of birth, the great Aare (that is traditional Prime Minister) of Lagos, a title that's just one out of the numerous high powered ones he carries; this particular one was bestowed on him several years ago by the Oba of Lagos. 'Baba Okoya' as some fondly call him, would be clocking the grand old age of 80, that is 4 scores, which is 8 decades on earth! An achievement by all standards. So the party to celebrate him becoming an octogenarian, welcoming him into a class or league of those in their 80s, promises to be epic or better still colossal.

The unrivaled Billionaire industrialist, who is the brain behind and founder of the quite popular 'Eleganza Industries' (Group of Companies) and RAO Property has been in our eyes and on the scene now for very many decades. His has been the story of steady but sure-footed growth till he became the industrial giant he has been for too long now. What has become this oak tree yielding awesome fruits, began with a seed fund of just £70. £20 pounds that he saved all by himself and the other £50 his blessed mother added to it. And in his life's journey he has won many awards too for his hardwork, consistency, perseverance and more.

His younger wife, Dr. Mrs Folashade Okoya who Allah has blessed immensely since she got married to Baba Tunde, with 4 brilliant kids to the boot, is the one that is now the overall boss of that vast company.

Aare Razak Akanni Okoya aka RAO was born on January 12, 1940 in Isale Eko, Lagos Island  here. Chief Okoya is the eldest and the male of the two kids of his parents, his other sibling is his beautiful sister Wosilat Demola Seriki.

Aare has at least 11 kids between his 2 wives and still has other kids from his other former wives too, about 4 of them. Making 6 women in all-Alhaja Kuburat-7. Ajoke, Yetunde, Jennifer, Zainab and Folashade-4.

The impressive Folashade, who is Chief's last wife, who he has also commended greatly for her immense love and extreme loyalty to him is leaving no stone unturned to make sure its another party to look forward to. The Okoya's have been known for many years now to throw some of the best parties/shindigs around. From when they used to live at Ikoyi Crescent residence till now at the vast Oluwa-ni-shola edifice. So Shade is making sure to dot her i and cross her t. The beautiful invitation is already going out.

It has become an annual ritual for Shade and her husband and their kids to have a birthday photo-shoot and we are already looking forward to that too this year. 

UBA Recruits 4000 New Staff, Promotes Over 5,000 Staff members; increases Salaries Up to 170%.

Lagos, Nigeria, January 06, 2020: Over 5,000 staff of the United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc, started the new year with a lot of cheer as the bank yesterday announced its promotion to new grades as well as salary upgrades with immediate effect this January.

Those who are beneficiaries of this exercise will receive up to 170% increase in their salaries and benefits, whilst a good number have been moved to higher grade levels.

In a carefully planned restructuring embarked upon by the bank in the last quarter of 2019, UBA has transformed its grading system and processes to become one of the most competitive within the industry. The bank crashed its grade levels to 12 levels from entry level to the top of the pyramid where previously it had been 16 levels. This means that staff will now find it much easier to attain top leadership management positions at UBA as their careers progress much faster.

In a massive recruitment drive , over 4000 new staff members resumed in the  last week of December 2019 in Nigeria alone at the bank. UBA currently stands as the highest employer of labour amongst Nigerian banks with a staff strength of close to 20,000.

UBA’s Group Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Kennedy Uzoka, who announced the bank’s new staff improvement initiatives to the excited employees , noted that UBA is continually seeking new ways to improve the fortunes of its staff as they are the backbone of the organisation .

Uzoka who spoke to the staff in a bank-wide live broadcast said, “As a leading financial institution, we do not take issues relating to our staff lightly.  We take great pride in being a listening bank that has the ears of our employees as they turn the wheels which make the organisation successful for our customers and shareholders. UBA recruits highly talented staff who perform at the best standards and deserve to be remunerated accordingly’

Continuing, Uzoka said ‘ we have also taken steps to ensure that our bank remains at the top tier as it relates to talent pool. We want to train the best and we have crashed the grade structure to make it easier and faster for our employees to progress along their careers. With this new grade structure, it will be possible for a new graduate employed at UBA to rapidly chart their own careers and become GMD by the age of 36.”

UBA is one of Africa’s leading banks with operations in 20 African countries. The bank also has presence in the global financial centres of London, New York and Paris.  UBA provides banking services to more than 17 million customers globally, through diverse channels.

WHEN THE DEMIGOD-OONI OF IFE OBA ADEYEYE BABATUNDE ENITAN OGUNWUSI GOT TRAPPED INSIDE LAGOS CONTINENTAL HOTEL'S SHAMBOLIC LIFT

In what was like a bad joke that played out for several minutes and caused some major panic, the Ooni of Ife, his imperial majesty, Oba Enitan Babatunde Ogunwusi Ojaja II, who is South West Nigeria's most respected king and in fact one of the most valued African king in the whole universe, who is also a spiritual father of the entire Yoruba race across the world was temporarily embarrassed by the malfunctioning of technology, a lift (escalator) at the Continental Hotel earlier today, where he was lodged.

The freak show or shame has been a problem at the supposed 2 or 3 star hotel waiting to happen for a bit now and when it finally trapped a supposed 'demigod', a highly valued man (personality) at that, reputed to command or have at his command and authority, not less than 201 out of the 400 plus deities that abounds, then it is a problem that would after all find a permanent solution after wards.

The management of the hotel located on the Island, at Kofo Abayomi, in Victoria Island to be more precise, we believe would henceforth do all that's in their power and in their own interest to make sure such an unbeffiting, unpalatable and embarrassing occurrence would never happen again, especially to the man who is the focal point (like the highest ever ranked prophets of other religions) of traditional religious worship in Yoruba mythology. The Ooni is reputed to be a direct descendant and representative of Oduduwa, who is reputed to be the founding father of the Yoruba race. So he is the mouthpiece of traditional Yoruba religion in the whole world. Such is the immensity or 'immenseness' of his position and powers, if ever there is a word like immenseness.

When the unfortunate and ill timed incidence occurred, all the multitudes of the King's hangers on or troops went into an absolutely stupefying and incredulous panic mode. It was a shock 🤯 to them, likened to a spirit, being trapped in a box. Until the lift began to work again and the revered monarch came out unscathed before relief gladdened the hearts of all that were in the vicinity. And in a most calm manner, Kabiyesi stepped out of the faulty contraption and still waved to his admirers in his very regal manner to show that all was well and that he wasn't in any way fazed by the temporary incidence, like it was just one of those things that 'mere mortals' normally encounter every other time.

The Continental Hotel Lagos has been a shadow of itself since the Incontinental brand withdrew from managing it. Unlike how things used to be prim and proper and functioning well then, things have been a bit funny for a bit now from what we hear. We can recall we were at one of the suites sometime back 2 years ago at a birthday party and was astounded that the ceiling was leaking and a bucket had to be placed at the spot to gather the water dripping down. So the lift malfunctioning and trapping the king at such an hotel was just one of those things (problems) waiting to happen. 

IS MERCY ONE OF NIGERIA'S SEXIEST MOM OR NOT? SEE HER BOLD DRESS SHOWING HER SEXY UNDERWEAR!

Mercy Aigbe needs no introduction whatsoever. She's one of the most prominent celebrities right now and a famous actress too at that. But what she's most probably 'proudest' about, is that she's a mother of 2. One her super gorgeous daughter - Michelle being a teenager (better still adult at 18) and Juwon, her handsome son who is 9.

Until not too long ago, she was supposedly happily married. Till she and her husband about 2 years ago like a badly edited and directed or produced movie, threw it all to the dogs and openly washed their dirty linen in public with a willing audience bating both parties for more and more.

But she has since overcome all that shenanigans and has come out on top too at that. In fact, it seems like that mess though shameful at the time, brought her out more into the limelight for her best and she has since after then had it great, smiling obviously to the bank from the looks of it and has even repackaged herself. All of the repackaging is what has culminated into who she has become now at 42. A banging, stand out mama jammer by all accounts. Meaning no news is actually bad news after all, it just depends on how you embrace it and manipulate to your advantage.

It takes a lady with unreserved confidence to have worn one of the outfits that she wore for her birthday shoot. The champagne colored cocktail dress made by Toyin Lawani's Tiannah's Place Empire & also styled by the same brand, is as gorgeous as they come and is actually 'SEXY' see through. Hmmmmmm... yummmy😋!!!!!

If you look rather very closely at her, you would have seen the stupendously sexy underwear (sexy pant)..... most likely a badass g-string, that's either cream colored or white she wore under the dress with much aplomb!!!!!

Her boldness at wearing such, just says it all. Is she badass sexy or or is she not???

If you have ever checked out Mercy's page for any reason, you would have noticed quite well that she's just one lady, who has embraced her sexiness & bodaciousness with oomph & alacrity. Mama Michelle (18) & Juwon (9) is a badass chic all the way!!!!

This 2020 promises to be badass sexy ooooo from the look of it and it has started quite early too.

Gbe bodi eeeee!!!!

Ani, gbe sole eeee!!!!! 

FATHER MBAKA DELIVERS A SHOCKING MESSAGE FOR 2020-HOPE UZODINMA TO DISLODGE GOVERNOR EMEKA IHEDIOHA!!!!

Father Ejike Mbaka

Governor Emeka Ihedioha

Senator Hope Uzodinma

People, that is those who believe in the messages of the various men of God who always look into their crystal ball to check what the year holds in store for them, for their community, for their country, are always eager to hear what would happen during the year so they can atleast plan or prepare ahead for any eventualities. And like clockwork, various predictions and prophesies have been flying about already in favour of some and not in favour of some.

One of those men of God that people always look forward to hear from is none other than the fiery and uncompromising Father Ejike Mbaka and as expected he has delivered his message for 2020 and one of the things he said, as elicited major shock already, with people wondering aloud, how possible what he has said would happen.

The Spiritual Director of the Adoration Ministry, Enugu of Nigeria, Father Ejike Mbaka delivered a banger of a message a day and few hours ago, as he predicted that Senator Hope UZODINMA, the APC candidate at the last election where the current Governor was declared as the winner will dislodge the incumbent, Emeka Ihedioha, as Imo State Governor.

Senator Hope Uzodinma like we already said before was the candidate of the All Progressives Congress for the 2019 governorship election in Imo State, while Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha, who was declared the winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission, flew the flag of the Peoples Democratic Party.

Father Mbaka, who spoke during the crossover mass at the Adoration Ground, Enugu, spoke thus: “Many things are going to happen in Nigeria this 2020 that will shock countrymen and countrywomen, but all would be to God’s glory.

“In spite of all that would happen, there is hope.
“In Imo State, there is hope. Hope, hope, hope in Imo!

“Imo people have suffered but God is raising a new hope that would be an agent of salvation for them.
“He’s coming with a new flag to restore the dignity of that noble land.
“A new leadership that will break barriers and there would be joy in the land of Imo.

“Lift your candles as I bless Hope Uzodinma and I empower him to, spiritually, take over.
“How, I do not know?

“Please, if you heard that there would be a new government in Imo and you don’t like the message, if I say Hope, you can say hopeless, but do not fight me.
“I am saying this in respect of those who may want to come after me.”

ACE ACTRESS, ENTREPRENEUR & FASHIONISTA PAR EXCELLENCE MERCY AIGBE BEGINS NEW YEAR WITH A BANG!

Still basking in the grace and divine mercy of God for seeing and starting a new year, new decade, we can't but just be thankful to God enough for the good privilege. So again we say Nagode, Dalu, Ese sirs/madams. And we wish you all our readers and supporters well and say May all the goods, packaged in 2020 be yours. In good health and happiness.

Happy new year!!!!!!

In Yorubaland, they call those born on the first day of a new year Abiodun. Odun' has to do with festivities, some form of celebrations or the other. For the outstandingly gorgeous Mercy Aigbe, who has really come into her own, style/fashion-wise, it's not just about celebrating a new year, this one being 2020, which is also the very beginning of a new decade, the start of the new year also always coincides with her birthday, the day Mercy emerged on this earth. So for the ace actress, a new year is always a double pronged package of celebration. So she is Abiodun twice over. She's thanking God doubly twice about the gift of life, for seeing the end of an old year and immediately embarking on the journey of another. For making the new year and for hitting another age in her life's journey. And so, we celebrate with her too.

2019 was most probably a very eventful and super stylish year for Mercy. As she proved beyond reasonable doubt her style pedigree over and over and over again. Mesmerizing us all through, with class, distinction and panache. It was the year she became the 'Queen of Elegance' out performing all others both in continental and dazzling local outfits that were fantastically made and were so well fitting they were like 2nd skin. She showed that she had mastered all the right moves and has come to know very well, what best suits her and can show her best features to a good or best advantage. And without trying too hard also, she's shown her influential power as she has twice as many followers/audiences/fans as the nearest noisemakers who are all about on the social media and who wouldn't allow us a breathing space. Mercy is probably one of the best supported Nollywood giant in Nigeria bar none with 6.7million followers and still counting, making her a major influencer by all standards. So there are those in good numbers too, totally dedicated to her and ready to follow her whims and moves without batting an eyelid.

So just has she finished 2019 on a stand out note, fashion and style-wise and otherwise too, she has begun the new year too, a new decade 2020 on that high note again, with much aplomb and great oomph at that.

As she clocked 42 today, January 1, 2020 having being born January 1st of 1978, the mother of 2, dazzled all comers in her characteristic style with good effect.

In a message to self, she admits she's imperfect but tending towards perfection, but admits to her beauty, sexiness, good heart and more, she also called herself a child of destiny - Omomajemu. She waxed highly lyrical in a message to herself and loads others thus-

"She's imperfect, beautiful, sexy, kind, protective, smart, honest, loyal, hardworking, intelligent, self-sufficient, lover of God, lover of children, brave, confident, a survivor.... A woman who brushes away her tears, tries to heal her wounds and cover her scars. Cos she knows she can't afford to stay down! Big shout out to every strong women out there, you shouldn't be afraid to be yourselves even when you feel weak and broken inside because the strongest action of a woman is to love herself and shine amongst those who never believed she could... Cry your tears but always Get up! Stay focused and STAND TALL 👊🏾. 

ADENIKE "NIKKY BIZZLE" BALOGUN RIDES INTO 2020 IN HER BRAND SPANKING NEW IMMACULATE WHITE RANGE ROVER VELAR!

Congratulations to you all from us at Maestro's Media for making it into a brand spanking new year-2020 and in fact the beginning of a new decade, the newest decade at that currently. May we all that have started it, see it till the very end in 2030. Happy new year to us all.

For some, like the multi-dimensional entrepreneur & fashionista, Adenike Margaret Balogun aka 'Nikky Bizzle', who is the Managing Partner at Event brand 'Diamond Ink Luxury Events Company', but who also doubles at the same time as the full owner of one of Lagos most happening watering hole, that's talking about - 'The Tea Room Lagos' and who also is the brain behind top  lifestyle outfit 'Maggie's Fleurbox', which is in fact one of the best florist in the country, that has handled some of the best A-class jobs around and who is also the owner of 'Mykonos Day Bar', it must have been a most fabulous and a highly profitable 2019 by all standards and in all ramifications. As the lady who celebrated her 30 plus better during the last quarter of the past year that's 2019, just took delivery as both maybe a late birthday present for herself, plus a Christmas gift/New year present, a brand spanking 2019 IMMACULATE white Range Rover Velar, which must have set her back by several 10s of millions of Naira.

We weren't told about it at all, but we saw the pretty and impressive car by ourself with our very own eyes just as she took delivery of the badass SUV. The white car came with an all leather smashing interior, with an impressive cockpit that's like one is inside one of those very impressive private jet, like a Gulfstream.

For the avid traveler, it's like it's a whole package all in one for just as she has taken delivery of the car that has a base price of between $50000 and can quickly rise to $75000 dollars, depending on what it packs, Adenike's Velar is a P380S which costs between [N18M to about N27M], she's also moving into her new abode in Ikoyi, which we hear is super tastefully done to taste. She was staying in Parkview Ikoyi before and has moved into another place in Ikoyi again. Knowing how fashion conscious she is and how uncompromisingly stylish she let's out, we can bet with our top dollar, that her new apartment or condominium in Ikoyi would be the type that would sit very well in a topmost lifestyle magazine, with all the works.

If a car, a luxury mid-sized SUV for that matter that shouts class, is already costing between N18M and N27M to purchase, then when you add duty and other cost at 70%, then the total cost or landing cost plus duty and all would range then for between [N30.6M to N45.9M].

To spend that kind of amount as a year ending gift to self plus several more millions for a befitting abode, then the person must really be commended.

And if we can say it, it must then mean that 2020 has begun on a magnificent and magical note, a sort of a roller-coaster for the young lady then. What should we be waiting for then? Hmmmmmmm........ 

ARE THIS THE OFFICIAL NEWEST COUPLE IN TOWN?

Churchill Adekunle & Rosy Meurer 

We believe this couple or this 2, do not need any sort of introduction whatsoever. But just for the sake of it, we would actually do the needful.

Churchill Olakunle is the ex-husband of controversial actress and celebrity, Tonto Dikeh, who many speculate is still currently held up in Dubai over an issue of many weeks back. They are the parents of an adorable boy called King.

The standout and quite beautiful and in your face Rosy Meurer on the other side, is the beautiful but equally controversial actress and self proclaimed goodwill ambassador and model.

It was then alleged by Tonto during the epic fight that ensued between husband and wife and had the social media as the arena of choice and that lasted for several weeks and that went viral and left many mouth agape for a long time that, Rosy was one of the reasons for the demise of her marriage to her ex-husband. From the way the thing was painted then, it was like Rosy was the side chic from Mars or Pluto who totally took the soul and heart of Churchill away and never released it ever again.

While there were several denials from Churchill and maybe also Rosy herself then, many somewhat believed something must have transpired between the duo. Seems like that with the passage of time, both might become far more comfortable about showing off their friendship more openly now, as we have seen them in close proximity at several events and occasions. And it's now like no matter how people define the friendship to be, be it that they are lovers or mere super good friends.

One thing you cannot deny the duo though is that, they are always there for each other no matter what, not minding whose ox is gored.

Here in the picture above, the duo are in beautiful matching white outfits at the Chai Tang Restaurant, Twin Waters at the birthday dinner celebrating Churchill Adekunle.

Are they the 'official newest couple' in town? See the body language and vibe both are throwing off.

Tonto wouldn't like this at all oooooo. Hmmmmm......
