Cynthia Morgan Speaks On Exposed B••bs, Queen Ure And The Contentious 'Porpori'
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
Delectable reggae/dancehall singer Cynthia Morgan has refuted claims that she is scared of Queen Ure for not promoting her song, Porpori.
The speculation began shortly after the dancehall queen began promoting her new single, German Juice instead of Porpori.
Last year, Queen Ure got a court injunction to stop Morgan from using the word, Popori, claiming that she created the word and had its copyright.
But in a chat with Saturday Beats, Morgan said that popori is a slang in Edo State and therefore, it would be wrong for Queen Ure to lay claim to coining it.
She said she couldn't have been scared of Queen Ure not to promote the song, saying their songs had different spellings and concept. Morgan hinted that apart from promoting it, she would soon do a video for the much talked about song.
"My song, Popori, is still out and I am shooting the video for it very soon. Ure does not have anything on me and I don't have any case with her. Popori is my song. I produced the song and came up with the title. I am from Edo State and I have been hearing the word Popori from my childhood. It was funny when she said that she was the one that invented the word popori and holds the copyright. She cannot even use a copyright for the word. If she had told me that she trademarked the word, then it would have been a separate thing. Even if she trademarked the word, our songs have two different spellings.
"So if she takes the case to a court, I am sure they would say she is being funny. It is just as I bear Cynthia and I decide to trademark the name if someone else spells hers as 'Synthia;' I cannot sue the person because they are two different spellings. It is funny to me because it is like someone saying they invented the word love and no one else should use it. I don't have any problem with Ure and I am not scared of her. We don't have any case. If everyone should do what she did to me, then it means my fellow artistes would be suing themselves over songs like Azonto, Shoki, Caro, and the likes. I think it is a funny situation. Instead of her being a 'hater,' she should be supporting the newer generations of artistes and feel proud that I used the word, popori. It doesn't even make sense to me. Asides all this, I am working on some singles and my album would be out before the end of the year," she said.
The reggae sensation also trended last week due to a picture of her boobs that went viral online. She told Saturday Beats that she only took a picture of a necklace she liked but people decided to feast on her breast in the picture.
She added that because she sings mostly reggae music, it does not mean that she takes Indian hemp for inspiration.
"I was just having fun and I took a picture. I actually took a picture of my necklace and the boob part went viral but it is all good because it was fun. I took a picture of my necklace because I liked it and I asked my fans what they thought about it but people decided to see only the boobs. I was just having fun; I was not flaunting my boobs on social media. I was in Cape Town shooting a video for German Juice when I took the picture. It was not planned, I just did it and the picture went viral.
"I don't take marijuana; I am naturally an energetic and playful person. I love nature and having people around me. I draw my strengths from the people around me. I don't take Indian hemp," she said.

Didi Ekanem has caused much commotion in Nollywood, both for her legendary bum and talent. But the beautiful actress is in quandary over the great fuss over her big butt, saying she wished people would appreciate her more for her talent than for her butt. Maybe someone should have warned her that you cannot cheat nature.
For her, she believes people should have s3x as many times as they want it.

"If you want to have it 100 times a day, good for you" she says.
"Who doesn't like sex? I'm not going to sit here and tell you I don't like sex. Everybody loves sex; it is just natural, so I'm not going to pretend I don't like it. For me, I'm a very busy person so I don't have that time to even enjoy it as much as I should or have it as much as I would. Anytime I have the time and I want to, and I do. Every position goes, as long as I can feel what I want to feel at that point in time. Every position is fine" she concludes.

I didn't send any er•tic message to Phyno and I am not dating Alex Ekubo -Singer Yemi Alade Cries Out
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
It wasn't really a big deal that Nollywood hunk, Alex Ekubo, featured in Yemi Alade's Jonny video. But tongues started wagging when the two were seen at several events together.
Automatically, it was assumed that Yemi and Alex were an item as they were seen stepping out hand in hand at all events.
However, in a chat with Saturday Beats, the fast rising singer said that there is nothing between her and the actor.
"Alex Ekubo and I just shot a video together and that was it. Even though we attended some events together, it does not mean anything. We are very cool friends, there is nothing between us, she said.
When probed further if they were ever an item, she said, "I don't have to talk about my private life, I'm sorry."
However, she told Saturday Beats that she has five men in France who are interested in her and she would go back to see who is worthy of her attention.
She said, "I found five 'Johnnys' in France already and I am going back to pick the right one. I kicked off my Europe tour in Paris and it was on Valentine's Day and that is how I met them."
The dark-skinned singer also spoke about her instagram account that was hacked and the erotic messages sent to her colleague, Phyno, via the hacked account.
"I lost over 90,000 followers which made me a bit unhappy. The erotic messages that were sent to Phyno were not from me. It was the hackers that sent it to him. Right from the moment a picture of Snoop Dogg with marijuana was posted, that was not from me. My PR team has been sending messages to instagram but we are yet to get a response. I think it is because we are in Africa; they tend not to attend to our messages on time. But my team in London is working on it even if it means deactivating it. I have a new instagram page now. However, I started my tour on that day and it elevated my mood," the singer said.

I am not on twitter, that account is fake -Babangida Laments
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
Former Military President, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (rtd.), has denied having a Twitter account or any other account in the social media through which anybody could relate with.
IBB's denial comes barely a week after former President Olusegun Obasanjo also disowned all social media accounts operating in his name.
The former ruler in a press statement signed by one of his aides, who is also the publisher of an online magazine, Alhaji Iliyasu Dhacko, Ajiya Minna and made available to journalists on Friday, said he was miffed by the disclosure recently of spurious use of his name by some dubious elements on a social media account.
Mr. Babangida, who said he was not against the usage of his photographs in the media, however, advised that his pictures be put to judicious use.
According to the statement, the retired general expressed dismay that Nigerian youths, who are supposed to be looked up to as leaders of tomorrow, were degenerating into social miscreants and creating disaffection with the social media.
Babangida advised that the media instead should always be used to foster unity as the country at this trying period he said, needs positive contributions of all Nigerians to get things right.
He also advised politicians to desist from engaging the youth in thuggery but more in constructive ventures beneficial to all, adding that any further use of social media account in his name would be treated as fraud with the originator handed to the appropriate authority.

Assassin Nabbed After He Advertises His Trade On Facebook Using Fake Name
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
A man from Peru has been arrested after looking for work as a "hitman." The man set up a Facebook page, where he advertised his "services" as a contract killer.
38-year-old Jonathan Giraldo attempted to hide his identity with the alias "Tony Garcia," and he nicknamed himself "Anthrax." Police tracked him down after he used real videos and photos of himself posing with weapons, including a pistol with a silencer attachment and bundles of cash. In his fake profile, Giraldo, who also referred to himself as the "Most Wanted," wrote: "in the streets you learn more than in school."
Police arrested Giraldo in his apartment in Miraflores in the Lima Province. Police said that they arrested the suspect while he was updating his profile with more claims of his criminal adventures. Police spokesperson Leonidas Menendez said that at this time, Giraldo is being held on charges of possession of firearms.
"The truth is that at the moment, we don't know if the suspect really is a hitman or if he is just a fool with making up a fantasy life in his bedroom," Menendez added. Police are doing ballistics checks on the guns, which were confiscated from the home, and they are also looking at Giraldo's bank accounts to see if there has been any suspicious payments.

Blogger Killed For Criticising Religion

A knife-wielding mob has hacked to death a US-Bangladeshi blogger whose writing on religion had brought threats from Islamist hardliners.
Avijit Roy, an atheist who advocated secularism, was attacked in Dhaka as he walked back from a book fair with his wife, who was hurt in the attack.
No-one has been arrested but police say they are investigating a local Islamist group that praised the killing.
Hundreds of students gathered in Dhaka to mourn the blogger's death.
Mr Roy's family say he had received threats after publishing articles promoting secular views, science and social issues on his Bengali-language blog, Mukto-mona, or Free Mind.
He defended atheism in a recent Facebook post, calling it "a rational concept to oppose any unscientific and irrational belief".

Obasanjo Denies Avoiding President Jonathan At Shagari's Birthday Ceremony...“I had no cause to dodge"
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has denied reports in a section of the media that he deliberately arrived late at the birthday celebration of former President Shehu Shagari, after all the other past leaders and President Goodluck Jonathan, had departed the Sokoto home of the celebrant.
President Shagari's 90th birthday was marked with an unusual fanfare Wednesday with President Jonathan and all former Nigerian leaders, except Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.), in attendance.
Obasanjo arrived only after his colleagues had left after the cutting of the birthday cake, fuelling media speculation he deliberately refused to arrive early to avoid a meeting with Mr. Jonathan, whom he has in recent times criticized harshly.
But the former president denied snubbing President Jonathan and other past leaders, saying he had no cause to backtrack on what they all agreed to do together in Mr. Shagari's honour.
Mr. Obasanjo said it was "unfortunate" he arrived President Shagari's Sokoto home late, and blamed a traffic gridlock in Lagos for the delay.
"I have read with dismay the imputation of some section of the media to the unfortunate incident of my not being able to be with my colleagues at the birthday celebration of President Shehu Shagari on Monday 25 February", Mr. Obasanjo said in a statement Friday.
"Leaving Abeokuta at 6:45am and hoping to fly out of Lagos airport at 8:30am, to Sokoto, we ran into a very bad traffic hold-up that made me get to Lagos airport at 10:45am".
The ex-president accused the media of failing to report his apologies to Mr. Shagari during the visit.
"I did not arrive at Shagari's house until about mid-day by which time the team of my colleagues had left. It is a pity that the media did not report my profuse apologies to both Shagari and other colleagues when I spoke at Shagari's house.
"I had no cause to dodge, avoid or snub my colleagues for what we all agreed to do together", he said.

There was pandemonium in the Ajegunle area of Lagos State on Wednesday afternoon when a motorcycle passenger suddenly ran mad and started stripping himself in public.
According to news report, the passenger had boarded the motorcycle at Boundary market, Ajegunle, enroute Ojo road.
On the way, he suddenly started shouting and ordered the rider of the commercial motorcycle to stop.
When the rider stopped at Babani street junction, along Bale road, the passenger got down and started screaming, "my head! my head!!"
An eyewitness simply identified as Tajudeen said: "Before anybody could bring cold water to sprinkle on his head, he began to remove his clothes very fast and also pulled off his pant. He started to run and we had to give him a hot chase so that he would not enter the market. We managed to apprehend him and he even bit one man called Andrew in the hand. He was just saying, ''leave me, I want to die now''. Later, he began to say things that were not reasonable."
Tajudeen said the people in the area were going to attack the rider of the motorcycle but stopped when he explained what happened. He told them the man was all right when he boarded the motorcycle and all of a sudden started to exhibit madness.

Italy's World Cup winning captain, Fabio Cannavaro has been handed a 10-month jail sentence for breaching orders to keep out his property after it was seized by Italian authorities.
According reports, the former Real Madrid star had been under investigation for tax evasion and got his properties seized by Italian police as part of the case in October 2014.
But the matter got twisted even further when the former star player breached the orders by going into the villa which is included as one of the properties seized by going for a dip alongside his wife, Daniela Arenoso and his brother, Daniel Cannavaro who were also sentenced to 6 months in prison.
However, the three have appealed the judgment, which means sentences are suspended until the court has re-visited the case.
Cannavaro won the Ballon d'Or in 2006 after leading Italy to their World Cup triumph that same year in the tournament hosted by Germany. He moved to Real Madrid that summer and won two La Liga titles with the Spanish giants.
The 41-year old recently kickstarted a managerial career with Chinese side, Guangzhou Evergrande after retiring from football in 2011.
