Nadia Buhari's Mother SpitsFire over Jim Iyke
Now that it's clear nothing like marriage is ever
going to happen between Jim Iyke and Ghanaian
actress, Nadia Buhari, the actress' mother is
enraged over the
issue.
Hajia had thought the relation was altar bound
until recently when Jim took to Twitter and
publicly declared was nothing of such, leading
Nadia to also delete all his pictures and name
from her Instagram.
Nadia's mum is said to be bitter at the moment
that she at every given opportunity, allegedly
places curses on Jim for breaking her baby's
heart.
Now, Nadia who has been talking about settling
down and having children, has fallen into the ever
waiting arms of her career for solace.
I have attempted GUS three times –Dennis Okike, winner, GUS 10
It was a colourful ceremony last weekend at the
Le’ Meridien Hotel, Uyo, Akwa-Ibom State, when
the winner of the popular television reality show,
Gulder Ultimate Search Season 10, Dennis Okike
was unveiled.
Anchored by the task master himself, Chidi
Mokeme, the event which has the governor of
the host state, Godswill Akpabio in attendance
with members of his cabinet also witnessed the
unveiling of winner of the one day ultimate fans
edition in the person of Comrade Kalu Kalu. He
smiled home with an SUV and a mouth watering
cash prize. Number one African rapper, MI spiced
up the event as he thrilled the audience with his
electrifying performance.
*GUS Winner, Dennis
However, elated Okike shares his experience
while in the jungle, as well as what he intends to
do with the N10 million prize money.
How do you feel as the winner of the 10th edition
of Gulder Ultimate Search?
I have longed for this for three years. I worked
very hard and I prayed to become the winner.. It
was not my own personal efforts, God has hand in
it, and without God I would not get to where I am
today.
While the search lasted, you suddenly became
daring which was not part of you from the
beginning?
My parents will always say when you are in a
different environment, observe the people, and
the environment very well. When I was in the
jungle I had to learn from people, and their
mistakes, and not to make the same mistake. I
learned from my own mistakes too. I kept
pushing forward; I never allowed anything to
distract me.
What was your most challenging task in the
jungle?
It was the first individual task that we had. I had
to go under the log. I don’t want to remember it
again. It was very humiliating, but as God would
have it, I was second to the last person in the
task. It is just that whatever situation you find
yourself in, if you think you are actually the last,
you nee to remain focus and be prayerful. It’s
not how far, but how wel!
How would you describe this year’s GUS?
Gulder Ultimate Search is a television reality show
that takes place yearly. I have tried it for three
years. Last year, I got to the final stage, but I
was not picked. I kept on trying until I entered
the jungle this year. GUS is different from other
reality shows, you could see it on TV how it is like.
It is glaring for everyone to see. It is not artificial,
it is original.
Now that you have won teh show, what’s the
next level for you?
It is God first. He will lead me to my next level. I
have lots of ideas, just like every other young man
out there. I have to allow God direct my path.
Whatever He says I will take it up from there. N10
million is a lot of money, but it does not change
anything. If one doesn’t plan well, one will just
blow it up, but if you plan ahead of time and you
let God take control, you will achieve great
success.
When you found the Golden Scepter, what came
to your mind?
The experience was out of this world. It was
something every other contestant wanted to
experience; God actually helped me to discover
the Golden Scepter. There were instances I would
have been evicted, but God made me to come
out a winner. Finding the Golden Scepter was the
climax of it all, and I realised God’s faithfulness in
my life. God was actually with me all through. He
actually proved that all my fasting and prayers
are not in vain. Every effort I put in to get to the
last stage actually came to pass. I give God the
glory. It was not easy.
Who do you consider the most challenging
person among the last four contestants?
The truth is, finding the Golden Scepter could be
anybody; I know Ifunanya has great ability and
instinct just as I do, it could have been her. But
the point is that it could be anybody.
The person I actually believe was going to find it
is myself. I know myself to the extent that if I
really want to something I don’t care what
happen, I go ahead and do it. I told myself that if
I didn’t find it, I will not forgive myself; each time
I was searching I kept on praying.
What is going to change about you now that you
have N10 million and a new car?
Nothing will change about me, it is just that I am
a new personality, money can change your
personality. But I am still going to be the same
me. Anybody can actually have the same
opportunity, but it depends on what you make of
it. You can get N10million and in the next six
months you are nowhere, but the truth is that I
already have plans for myself.
But by now you would have thought of what you
want to do with the money?
The truth is that you don’t make choice in a
hurry. I might decide to further my education as
an engineer. But along the line, something might
just come up, we have too much potential in this
country. I will work and pray about it and let God
decide for me. What He wants me to do that is
what I will do.
What were the responses in your family when you
won?
The joy in my family was out of this world. Tears
of joy ran down my mom’s cheeks as well as my
siblings. I am the only son and I know what will
be going through their minds right now.
Tonto Dike and D’banj dating?
Tonto Dikeh’s name is synonymous with
controversy. And the latest buzz that she’s gotten
quite close to the hit maker, D’banj in recent
times may not make any difference to her. The
internet went viral during the week, dropping the
bombshell that the controversial actress-turned-
singer has been spotted hanging around the Koko
master’s Lekki residence at odd hours.
*Tonto Dike & D’banj
Those in the know said, Tonto is currently
recording her new songs at the studio in D’banj’s
house. The hit maker is said to be planning to
sign her to his Records label as he once stated
that if he signs her, she will definitely blow. The
new song she’s recording at D’banj’s studio is
described as a banger. But guess what! Mouths
are wagging that there are more to Tonto’s
closeness to D’banj than meets the eyes.

Miley Cyrus writes Liam Hemsworth Love Note
Miley Cyrus has written her ex-fiancé Liam
Hemsworth a love letter apologising for her wild
behaviour following their split in September.
Miley Cyrus has written Liam Hemsworth a love
letter.
The 'Wrecking Ball' hitmaker has penned her ex-
fiancé - whom she began dating in 2010 - an
emotional note apologising for her wild antics and
raunchy behaviour following their split in
September.
A source told The Sun newspaper: ''As time has
gone on and the anger subsided, Miley has really
started to feel the pain of the split.
''She thought about writing some songs, but then
decided why not write a letter to Liam to tell him
exactly how she feels. Miley admitted to Liam she
has pushed him away and said sorry for acting so
mad.''
The 20-year-old singer has been romantically
linked to music producer Mike WiLL Made It and
Rolling Stone magazine heir Theo Wenner since
ending her engagement to the 'Hunger Games'
star, but she admits she still has deep feelings for
Liam and is keen to meet up with him to sort
through their differences.
The source explained: ''Miley says in her letter she
still loves Liam deeply and has asked him to meet
up. It could be for closure or it could be to start
again, but she just wants to see him and talk
things through.''
Sudan woman in Legal Limbo over Refusal to Cover Hair
A Sudanese woman accused of "indecent" attire
because she refused to cover her hair remains in
legal limbo after a court appearance on Monday.
Amira Osman Hamed faces a possible whipping if
convicted of violating Sudan's laws governing
morality, which took effect after the 1989
Islamist-backed coup by President Omar al-Bashir.
The defence asked in September that the charge
be withdrawn but the prosecution is still weighing
how to proceed, Hamed and one of her lawyers
said after Monday's hearing in Jebel Aulia, just
outside Khartoum.
The court is waiting for the prosecutor to either
send the file back to court for additional hearings,
or to quash the case, Hamed said.
No new date has been set for a further hearing,
but one of her lawyers,Kamal Omar, said that
"this does not mean the case is finished".
Hamed said she thought that her case would not
be quashed immediately.
"I think they will keep it (active) for a while," she
said. "If they want to use it any time they will. I'm
not free."
Under Sudanese law all women are supposed to
cover their hair with a "hijab" but Hamed refuses,
saying authorities "want us to be like Taliban
women."
Her case has attracted international publicity and
drawn support from rights activists.
She said she was charged after refusing a
policeman's order to cover her head while visiting
a government office in Jebel Aulia in late August.
In 2009, the case of journalist Lubna Ahmed al-
Hussein led to a global outcry and spotlighted
women's rights in Sudan.
Hussein was fined for wearing slacks in public but
she refused to pay. She spent one day behind
bars but others rounded up with her in a
restaurant were flogged.
