Tiwa Savage, ill Rhymes Are Hosts of Nigerian Idol Season 2
R&B singer Tiwa Savage and popular Video Jockey Ill Rhymes have been named as the new hosts at the second season of the Nigerian Idol reality TV show. This was made known by Optima Media Group (OMG), organizers of the reality show today Wednesday, September 28, 2011 at the Oriental Hotel, Lekki, Lagos.
Tiwa (whose is a product of the X-Factor reality show in the UK) and Ill Rhymes will be replacing season one’s hosts Misi Molu and Anis Halloway. Misi confirmed her replacement today via her Twitter account. ‘Announcement to be made today! I’m no longer the host for Nigerian Idol!!! Really Sux!!! But I’ve gotta move forward and hope for the best!‘, @MisiMolu tweeted.
Also, Audu Maikori who was a judge on the show’s first season has been replaced with popular singer/entertainer Charly Boy. The reason for the switch according to Chichi of OMG is that Audu lives in Abuja and would find it quite difficult to attend the shows which will hold in different parts of the country.
This year’s viewership according to Rotimi Pedro, C.E.O of OMG, will increase to nine countries as opposed to five countries in season one.
Also this year’s prize has been increased to a whooping sum of a hundred thousand Dollars which will cover a recording contract. The first runner up will walk away with 2.5M Naira while the second runner up will win 1M Naira.
The show kicks off Tuesday, October 4, 2011.

Peter Okoye Pays Son Surprise Birthday Visit With Wizkid
Friday, September 23, 2011 will remain remarkable for kids and members of staff of Footsteps Playgroup, as they received an unplanned visitation from Wizkid. The occasion was Cameron Okoye’s birthday, and the lucky kid’s parents – Peter Okoye (of PSquare)and Lola Omotayo, drove into the school with cakes and the Wizkid surprise. Cameron is a ‘Minnie’ pupil in the high-scale Lagos pre-school nursery. He clocked three years old.
The proud father tweeted pictures from the surprise visit using his official handle @Peter Square – ‘Surprised my son 2day wit @wizkidayo cos he is a fan.‘
According to eye witnesses, the parents arrived together with Wizkid and body guards. That unsettled the school a bit as the children were distracted by the familiar faces. The hugs, birthday songs, cheers and picture session soon overwhelmed Cameron, who shares date with another classmate, and the kid soon reportedly, asked his dad to leave.
While Cameron’s teachers shared party packs to his class mates, the parents took some alone time in the school garden hugging, kissing and catching up. The whole school was served cakes and drinks courtesy of the Okoyes.
Peter Okoye, 31 and Lola Omotayo, 38 were a popular love item in 2007 and 2008 before Lola took in and delivered the Pop star’s first and only child. The lovers have since refrained from joint public appearances leaving all to ponder on the true state of their relationship. Lola was last spotted at ‘the Invasion’ concert and album launch hosted by her son’s father and his twin last July in Lagos, Nigeria.

D’banj Mr. Kokomaster confirmed Actress Genevieve Nnaji as his girlfriend
It’s probably the biggest news in Nigeria’s entertainment right now, that Mohits recording artist, D’ banj is in a serious relationship with Nollywood Actress Genevieve. Below is an interview with D’Banj which confirms it with Stella Dimoko Korkus of Encomium Weekly
.
QUE:
You were spotted secretly and publicly at different places with Genevieve Nnaji and we heard you both are in some kind of relationship. Is this true?
QUE:
Okay. We heard you recently featured her in your music video, ‘Fall in Love.’ Is this a publicity stunt or is it a real relationship?
D’Banj:
“This is all so funny because beyond the personal feelings I have for Genevieve, on the business side, she is the only one who represented what we were looking for to shoot the video. She represents Africa. She represents the African Queen. She is the biggest and was even profiled on the Oprah Winfrey Show. So it was a mixed feeling for me. She was the perfect person to use for the song ‘Fall in Love’. She even was my perception of someone you would want to fall in love with and have in your life. I believe the average African man wherever you are, if you want to think of whom you would want to fall in love with, if you close your eyes and take a deep breath, it’s Genevieve that will come to mind. So business-wise, she represented everything we were looking for to make the video.”
QUE:
You must have been looking at her whilst you were singing. Were you really telling her your feelings?
D’Banj:
“I am in love with Genevieve. It’s been long I felt this way about anyone. I don’t know what other words to use to qualify my feelings. But when you see the video, you will know that it’s not just a video, it was me talking to my girl for real.
QUE:
So is this a marriage-headed relationship?
D’Banj:
“Well, what can I say? Like I said, Genevieve is the biggest African star that I know and I am in the public eye, so it is to be expected. But I personally do not care about any news that wants to come out. I am proud of whom I am with. When I met Genevieve I knew what I wanted and I went after it and I am still with what I want and she’s the one I want. Right now the only woman in my life is Genevieve and she knows that. We want to be together and we don’t want to hide it any longer. I want to be able to take her out, walk into anywhere with her and not have to hide. I’ve found my kokolet, my woman. Please pray for us.”
D’Banj:
“Yes, yes, yes. We have been trying to keep this quiet but yes, I am dating Genevieve Nnaji.
D’Banj:
“Like I just told you, Genevieve is my girlfriend. In fact, I don’t like using that word girlfriend. She’s my baby, she’s my everything and I love her. We are both very mature and also very private. We would like to take it one step at a time right now and would appreciate if people will respect our need for privacy at this time.
QUE:
When the news of this relationship hits the streets, we are sure you both know what will happen next. Are you ready for this?

This relationship is rather shocking but we wish them the best.
