Hi Everyone!!!!!!!!
How are you guys doing? How was your weekend?
Mine was alright…I had a bad cold last week, so I am just recovering…
So how was yours?
Meanwhile, I only have one bellanaija facebook profile with the Deola Sagoe sunflower dress photo – HERE – ignore any others.
Last week one disrespectful and dubious individual decided to create a facebook profile as bellanaija and then proceeded to add and message people as me. He/she even put up a photo as well. Its just so sad that some people decide to spend their time on such nonesense. Advice from me to you – use your time for something more positive and God will reward you for it.
Moving on….
Beyonce and Jay-Z reportedly got married on the 4th of April 2008.
Guests at the reception were instructed to wear ivory/white. See photos of Solange, Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams, Daddy Matthew Knowles and guest, Gwyneth Paltrow.
- I’m sooo happy for them. I cant wait to see Bee’s wedding dress.
In other wedding news, Aisha Babangida is pregnant and getting married to the governor of Zamfara State, Alhaji Mahmud Aliyu Shinkafi this week as his third wife. Her first marriage to Mallam Garba Bashir broke up a while ago.
Her brother, Mohammed Babangida will also be tying the knot with Umuani ‘Umma’ Wali. She will be his second wife. He married his first wife Rahama Indimi some years ago and US crooner Joe gave a surprise performance and serenated the bride – HERE.
- I guess…Good luck to the couples
Tuface Idibia to sing against unprotected sex - By BABAJIDE SOLE from National Daily It appears that Nigerian hip-hop R&B superstar, Tuface Idibia is taking a u-turn from procreative activities to stir up an awareness against unprotected sex. Trends gathered that the artiste made this decision while in Kaduna for the Kaduna leg of his six-city tour tagged 2Face and Friends. As a result of his new found compassion for the motherless babies and abandoned children, courtesy of his visits to orphanages during his tour, Tuface has promised to dedicate some songs on his next album to create awareness against several societal ills that include child abandonment and unprotected sex.
- ironic but a step in the right direction
9ice Receives N1m from fan – By BABAJIDE SOLE from National Daily
According to sources, the said fan who has been very eager on seeing the visual rendition of 9ice monster single Gongo Aso gave the artiste a call inquiring how much it would cost to shoot the highly anticipated music video. 9ice, though surprised at the caller’s gesture, immediately responded that he would require about six million naira which he estimated would be the cost of shooting four music videos with top notch quality. Without hesitating the anonymous caller then asked 9ice for his account number and two weeks later 9ice received a text message from the same caller stating that he had credited his account with one million naira. “Right now as I speak, the caller still remains anonymous… I mean 9ice has never met this guy eye to eye. It is amazing the extent 9ices fans can go to support him. One million naira is no joke,” said the source
- good for 9ice, he deserves the success!
In other 9ice news, he was reportedly robbed on his way to the MBGNs on the 28th of March 2008.
- I’m glad noone was hurt. The robbery situation in Nigeria is awful.
Recent inductee into the International Billionaire Boys Club, Forbes billionaires list member, Aliko Dangote survived a near-plane crash last week. The billionaire was returning to Nigeria from a business trip to South Africa when his private jet developed an engine problem across the skies of Angola. One of the engines shut off when the plane was at over 40,000 feet above sea level. According to Mr. Dangote, all on board started praying and the pilot managed to make an emergency landing. About 2 minutes after the landing, the 2nd engine shut off as well. This illustrates the near-miss situation. This is the 3rd plane crash that he has survived. To read more about this. Click HERE
- Thank God they survived. I am the wrong person to be hearing this sort of news ’cause I hate air travel and planes!
US Rapper, Nas will be at the Soundcity Music Video Awards next weekend
- Wow! I luv Nas, I hope he brings Kelis along….I think SMVAs are going to be amazing!
Here are the covers of the new editions of my fav mags – MADE magazine and TRUE LOVE West Africa. Actor, David Oyelowo is on the cover of MADE while Kemi Adetiba is on the cover to True Love.
- Luv it!

Wow! Aisha Babangida is gonna be the governor’s third wife. As per Mohammed Babangida, sebi he only married in 2004 now and he is taken 2nd wife now.. I was watching the clip of his wedding on youtube where Joe performed for his first wife…. I wonder who is gonna perform for his second wife… na wa o!
what ??? Mohammed is marrying Umma wali … kai!!! na only Mohammed dey this world…. that Umma is also very hot..probably prettier than Rahama in my view… why is he marrying all the pretty girls?
Beyonce Knowles is a nice girl. I pray that Jigga treats her like the princess that she is in the marriage.
Tuface is improving – i am happy for him.
9ice is just too lucky. Toni Payne is lucky, too.
Muhammed and Aisha Babangida, i was told, come from a polygamous home; which is not really talked about. So, i guess, their being married more than once is not such a crime to them, well, good luck to them and their choices.
Bella, Bella, thanks, for the juicy news.
na wa ohhh!!! all this second wife business!!! hisss!!! anyhoooo…..me likey the post….!!
bella u’re too much
even foreign media arent sure there was a marriage not to talk of the aso ebi,,,
people say no to bbc,cnn and even E
lets tune in to Bella Naija
@ Nkiru – Jay Z is a King and I hope Beyonce treats him like the King he is in the marriage… no singing of yeye songs like too the left too the left…
I dont where u got ur info from but the Babangidas are a monogamous family. Maryam,his wife, is the mother of the four kids.
it is absolutely ludicrous that mohammed babangida is taking a second wife…what is this craziness about??? and how dare he ruin the life of such a sweet girl(Rahama) who does he think he is??? he will never find waht he is looking for it is in UTOPIA!!…i dont care how much money he thinks he has..money doesnt buy everything and is highly overrated…this is absolutely deplorable!!! i want to puke!!!!
i read on thisday online that mohd and umma were ‘childhood’ lovers. lol.
bella can you please link to the sources of your story if available. thanks.
LOL. I feel sorry for 9ice, but it’s just funny that someone gave him some money, and another person robbed him. Naija sha…
Forget Made Men mag.. it is lovely. I also love mode men mag too sha..
I am not sure but I think the link to the Babangida story is http://www.thisdayonline.com and then click on glitterati on the left column…
Moha Babangida is also a nice guy and genuinely humble but according to reports in d papers, his wife to be (2nd) was his childhood lover but their parents didnt let them get married. this marriage thing is funny o, your parents did not allow u to marry someone to be his first wife and now they are allowing you to be his second wife.
oh yeah, i was beyonce`s bridesmaid…hehe
2face, ironic, yup.
nice
OMG ITS DAVID OYEWOLE ON MADE MAGAZINE, HE ACTED ALONGSIDE PHYLICIA RASHAD, AND DIDDY IN THE MOVIE “RAISING IN THE SUN” , Y’ALL SHOULD WATCH IT, HIS YORUBA WAS INTENSE.
hmm bey and jigga?
i no know about that one sha
hey bella!
i’m sure rahama is a lovely lady but i’ve heard Mo Babangida wasn’t truly in love with her in the first place. He’s had someone he’s been crazy about for a long time and wasn’t allowed to marry that girl. I hope this 2nd girls is indeed that love of his life. He finally grew some back bone and married the babe. I think good for him.
erm… Lola, marrying her as second wife doesn’t prove that he has backbone or that he loves her more than Rahama (by the way, is it her fault that she was ‘arranged’ for him?) – second position is not and can never be first… ask anyone from a polygamous home, it’s not that rosy, there is likely to be tension between Rahama and Umma o (for their sakes, I pray not). Anyway sha, I think it’s quite gross, actually, just a couple of years later… haba!
lol at all those calling Mohamed and his new wife “childhood lovers”. That is just creepy – CHILDHOOD !!!
Joe won’t be singing for the new wife for sure …. me say JayZ & Beyonce be singing for new wifey …
Yeah, “A raisin in the sun” was bam …. saw it on ABC when it premiered. David’s yoruba was authentic not like that crap they were saying in Monique’s Phat Girlz ……..
i am formally requesting seal for the babangida wedding.lol. abi shey first wife got joe.
That Babangida boy is stupid. y didnt he grow back bone when they refused 2 allow him marry dgirl. if he truly loved her he would have put his foot down. nonsense and ingredient.
abeg let them carry go. me own be say na our country money dey go use take bring usher or beyonce or whoever new wife’s favouritemusician is.
This may be coming late but still relevant, find d babangidas very irritating. Shows failure on d parents for bad upbringing. Mohammed has murdered sleep.More wives to be expected since he will remember other childhood friends. I don’t blame him. Is it not our money the family is wasting. GOD HELP US
