How did you get into music?


Professionally, I started getting involve in music in 2009 when I emerged the winner of the Peak Talent Show. But before then, I have been doing music for the past nine years. I used to be in a group called Naughty Spices.

All my life , I have always been involved in music.

What was it like after emerging the winner of the Peak Talent Show?

Things changed. I won a reasonable prize money which I invested in my career. I used part of the money to finance my studio sessions with Eldee, Cobhams, Dj Clem , IBK and also, to shoot the video of my song ‘Fimisile’ .

But the truth is that after the reality TV show, it dawned on me that I had to plan for my future.

Why is it difficult for artistes who emerge winners in reality TV show to succeed in the showbiz world?

Like I said earlier, after the show comes the reality, that nothing good can just happen at once. You just have to work for it.

Reality TV shows are usually have the life span of six months or a minimum of three months. You cannot become a star overnight or within three months.

You cannot impregnate a lady and expect her to give birth to her baby within three months. It’s not supposed to be easy , otherwise, you are just wasting your time. Everything in life takes time.

Any plans For the future?
No plans yet, I ‘ll not get married anytime soon

The lady who wrecked Kate Henshaw’s Marriage revealed

Monday, December 2, 2013

The real reason behind the unexpected separation from one of the then best couples in the entertainment industry, Kate Henshaw and ex husband, Nuttal has been revealed.
Nuttal who’s the Managing Director of Ledrop Nigeria Ltd (agents for Jack Daniels and Piper Hiedsieck) was romancing his secretary whose name is Angela Gordon, a twenty four years old pretty lady from the South South part of the country. Angela is a staff at Mr. Nuttal’s company located at Ligali Ayorinde, Victoria Island, Lagos.The duo kicked off a secret romance which was fueled by Angela’s mum three years ago while kate’s marriage with her husband was still intact until the actress got wind of their affair.
The news of the romance  was brought to Kate’s notice by one of the aggrieved staff of her husband when it was obvious Angela was towing the part of a second wife. Kate stormed her husband’s office on this fateful evening unannounced and was shocked to find her husband with Angela in an uncompromising position,
Mr. Nuttal had to confirm his affair with his secretary to his wife who became perplexed immediately. The height of it was when Kate’s hubby gave her an option of either accepting things as it were or bow out of the marriage if she can’t stand his relationship with Angela.
The outcome of the storm however was the official statement from the estranged couple months later announcing their separation without any concrete reason when it was obvious the marriage could not go on.
Angela now cruises a black Range Rover Sport and lives in a cozy 3-bedroom apartment around Lekki phase 1 courtesy of her white lover. The new madam of the house as she’s popularly called by friends also allegedly miscarried a baby for Nuttal late last year 2012 while the duo is also said to be flaunting their romance since the couple went their separate ways with Angela’s mum being her backbone.

    “I don’t. I have never regretted that marriage. I have so many reasons.It is not only because of my son. Without that marriage, I will not be here today. I see life from a different perspective now. There are things that are inevitable. So, many things are bound to happen in life and there is nothing you can do about it. When such things happen, you have to face it. You only have to manage it when it happens and from there, you move ahead. If you don’t move ahead from that situation, you will never go to the next level.”

And now that you are back, should these artistes be scared?

    We are not on the same level. They are in the river and I am in the ocean. Let them just do their thing. I am on a different level. They are making money. That is nice. They don’t disturb me and I don’t disturb them either.

Actress Chika Ike – I Lost My Pride In My Marriage

Friday, October 25, 2013

Divorced Nollywood actress, Chika Ike, seems not to forget the woes of her marriage in a hurry, as she has come out with more scathing revelations against her ex-husband, Tony Eberiri.

Chika who acted in several Nollywood movies including ‘Standing Alone,’ ‘My Prince,’ ‘My Princess,’ ‘Paradise’ and ‘Emotional Blackmail,’ exposed her pain via her Facebook posts: “Growing up as a girl, I was always known as the sweetest kid on the bloc. Before I got married, I have been through some relationships and for once, no man had ever laid a finger on me.

The first time it happened in my marriage, I didn’t understand it because I am not the type of woman a man beats but I guess there are no types. It just happens and no woman deserves it. I thought it was love or his way of expressing his emotions, but after every beating, he pleads, cries and says it won’t happen again; once again, I thought it was love and made excuses for him.

Over the years, when it kept happening consistently, I started looking for other definitions for it. I started losing my self-pride, self-esteem, self-worth, and most painfully, I lost my baby, (miscarriage). I almost lost my life in the process, and then I realized how serious and abnormal it really was.”

So sad Dear! Real men do not beat women.

My Wife Is Funnier Than I Am — Victor Osuagwu

Sunday, September 8, 2013

Actor and comedian, Victor Osuagwu, met Roseline when she was in her third year in junior secondary school! The couple share the experiences of their eight-year-old marriage
How did you meet?
Roseline: We met as far back as 1990. He had enrolled at the School of Basic Studies in Choba, my maternal home town, where the University of Port Harcourt is situated. I was living in my father’s house in another area but anytime I visited my relatives, I would see him. The first day I visited, he saw me and said he was going to marry me. I thought he was joking but he started treating me like his younger sister. Then, I was in Junior Secondary School 3. He helped cut my hair and wash my uniform.
Victor: I was in the University of Port Harcourt when I met a little girl who was still in the secondary school. Since she was still at a tender age, I decided to allow her grow to a point when I could marry her.
How long did you date before you got married?
Roseline: If we calculate the period of courtship and marriage, we have been together for 20 years.
Victor: We courted for almost nine years before we started thinking about marriage. I officially married her in 2002.
How has the journey in matrimony been?
Roseline: It has been beautiful. We share things in common and he does not hide anything from me. I don’t hide things from him too because we grew up together.
Victor: It has been a happy marriage and we have not shouted at each other once. Though we have had our ups and downs, we are doing very well.
Being an actor and comedian, are there occasions you don’t know whether to take your husband serious or not?
Roseline: I understand him well and know when he is serious and when he is not.
Do you laugh at his jokes?
Roseline: Yes. He makes me laugh. Besides, in the house, we are all comedians. After my secondary school, he urged me to pursue a diploma in Theater Arts while I awaited my JAMB result. After I gained admission, I switched over to Political Science and Administrative Studies.
Do you ever quarrel?
Roseline: No, you can’t see us quarrel.
If you are angry with him, what do you do?
Roseline: If I am angry with him for any reason, I will point it out to him. I will tell him that I don’t like what he did and if he is at fault, he would apologise. I don’t have issues with him in the area of fidelity because he is not a womaniser. He does not know if another woman exists besides me, but he could make other mistakes. I talk to him like a brother and we understand each other very well. We don’t quarrel. People in our neighbourhood are always amazed at our union. Couples come to me seeking tips on how to have a successful marriage.
Victor: We don’t even quarrel. I beg her every time to accept to quarrel with me, even if it is once. Truth is, if I entertain people and make them happy, there is no reason why I should make my own family unhappy. I have even injected my comedy traits into her so much so that she cracks jokes more than I do. I see her as a special creation. I don’t make her angry and if I do, it is like making my mother angry.
How do you hang out as a couple?
Roseline: We sometimes go out to spend time alone or stay in our room when we are at home. Then, we would tell the children that they should give us space because this is the time for mummy and daddy.
Victor: Sometimes, I take her out and sometimes, we travel abroad. I am making plans to take her to the United States on our next vacation. This is the magic I use to keep the marriage going — I treat her well and make her feel like she is a sweet girl. There is no other way to celebrate a woman than to let her know that she is still as sweet as she was when you first met her. Let her understand that she is still a brand new woman for you even if she has given birth to children. Once that is done, your home will always be in a very good order. Some men find it difficult to even take their wives out. I believe you should take your wife out. This is because she will feel good and her love for you will be renewed.
How do you cope when his work takes him away for a very long time?
Roseline: At such times, what I do is to pray for him. I will gather the children and we will pray for God’s protection and that God should make a way for him. We know that he is a humble man, not the type who would go away, leaving the wife to wonder where her husband is. When he travels, he can call more than 10 times a day. He would inform me before leaving wherever he is, then as the journey progresses, whichever point he gets to, he would call to tell me where he is.
Do you operate a joint account?
Roseline: No, we don’t operate a joint account. He has his own account and I have mine but our money is spent together. If he is going to withdraw money, he will let me know and once he brings the money, we would plan on how to spend it for the family and other needs at home. Also, he reserves aside a portion for specific purposes.
How have you affected each others lives?
Roseline: God has favoured me and my husband, to the extent that if he is picking up a job, he would call me and inform me about the job and the amount they are willing to pay. I will advise him to accept the job after calculating his transportation and other expenses. I am always happy and have a relaxed mind. If somebody makes him angry, he would seek my advice before reacting. Once he calls me to complain, I ask him to calm down and advise him to be cautious and not fight cases in court. He should not have enemies. He cannot do without my advice because he knows I proffer the right advice to him.
Victor: She makes me have a sense of responsibility. No matter my work outside, I always remember my home and family. I always want to go back home and kiss my wife. My wife and children are always there to pray for me.
