I’m a mature man, old enough to get married and I have been trying to get a wife but my girlfriends have not been honest.



After dating a girl for a long time, I found out that she was married and separated from her husband and she wasn’t planning to tell me.



I am dating a girl now and I haven’t seen her for about a year, she’s always giving me excuses that she can not come to see me because she is far from me and even when I travel to see her, she still won’t come but she insists that she loves me and that I should go visit her family and do the necessary things.



I am ready to marry but how will I marry someone I don’t spend time with? Please help me and tell me what to do.

Although the both parties mentioned do not enjoy the best of relationship for some years now, no one knew it would degenerate in to a rofo rofo fight years after, until they finally engaged each other in a severe boxing match recently that finally earned AY a serious head but from ‘Terry the Ginja’ .



For the purpose of those who may not have understood the whole story, let us revert to the beginning of the matter.



In 2009, AY Dot come launched an attack on Terry G and warned him to stop performing his song, “Pass Me Your Love” in shows. The song which featured Terry and was also produced by him turned out to be a monster hit single later became the subject of a misunderstanding between the two parties over the years.



While Terry on his part claims he has the right of performing the song since it was a duet that featured him, AY Dot Come maintained it was never going to happen while he lives.



Meanwhile, AY on several occasions lamented of how Terry G went about collecting money on his behalf to perform the song without his consent.



Now from the story, you can see it was an age long animosity which finally turned out into a free for all fight, where blows were exchanged; several bottles broken, people injured, trying to separate the fight. Fast forward to what happened at Terry G’s Iju home on his birthday.



An eyewitness said, ‘AY came in the company of some friends as a sign of solidarity to celebrate with the ‘Intellectual Mad Man’ on his birthday and upon sighting him, Terry G Immediately threw caution to the wind and all the madness in him was let lose, as he punched AY severally and landed him an headbutt. AY upon being rescued reached out for the next available weapon but was immediately intercepted by friends and colleagues. At this point the party was already thrown into a halt, while Terry G insisted that Ay disappears from his house before something worse happens. AY was immediately seen to the gate of the compound with bruises all over his body.



Neither Terry G nor AY was available to give their reaction on the story, as their both numbers were switched off as at the time of filing in this report.

The cow detained at a police station over murder

The police at Sango Ota, Ogun State, southwest Nigeria, have arrested a cow following the killing of a 24-year old teenager identified as Azeez Salako at Ilata area of Ota, a suburb of Ogun State.



P.M.NEWS gathered that youths in Ilata Ota were planning to hold a carnival on Saturday 27 April, 2013 and there was an argument between some of the youths which led to a fight and one of the boys identified as Dayo broke a bottle which he used to stab Salako in the neck and he bled to death.



When the police arrived at the scene of the fracas everyone had fled leaving behind the cow bought for slaughter during the carnival and the police arrested the cow and took it to the station where it is currently being detained. When P.M.NEWS visited Sango Area Command where the incident was reported, both the Area Commander ACP Titi Kayode and the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in charge of Sango Division CSP Dibie were not available for comment. However, a source at the station who confirmed the incident on condition of anonymity said the suspected killer is on the run as no arrest has been made.



“Both the Area Commander and the DPO are not around now. We are still investigating the matter as no arrest has been made. The person who was alleged to have stabbed the deceased is on the run. It is only the cow the youths wanted to use for the carnival that was brought from the scene,” said the source.

Women can influence the gender of their child with what they eat before they conceive, according to new research that lends scientific support to age-old superstitions about pregnancy.



The discovery shows higher calorie intake prior to conception can significantly increase the chances of having a son while women on restricted diets are more likely to produce daughters.



Scientists at Britain's Oxford and Exeter Universities, who studied eating habits of 740 women during their first-time pregnancies, say that their findings seem to back certain traditional links between diet and gender while disproving others.



"We were able to confirm the old wives' tale that eating bananas and so having a high potassium intake was associated with having a boy, as was a high sodium intake," research leader Fiona Mathews, a specialist in mammalian biology at Exeter University, told the Guardian newspaper.



"But the old take about drinking a lot of milk to have a girl doesn't seem to hold up. In fact, more calcium meant they were again more likely to have a boy."



Mathews said the study pointed to a simple technique to influencing the chances of a male birth: Eating a bowl of cereal for breakfast.



"If you want a boy, eat a healthy diet with a high calorie intake, including breakfast," she told New Scientist magazine.



"Of women eating cereals daily, 59 percent had boys, compared with only 43 percent who bore boys in the group eating less than a bowlful per week."



The researchers said that a higher calorie intake prior to conception can increase the chances of having a son from ten to 11 boys in every 20 births, according to the study published in the Proceeding of the Royal Society B.



They said it could explain why male births in richer countries are experiencing a slight reduction.

TELECOMMUNICATIONS regulator, the Nigerian Communications Commission, has ordered MTN Nigeria to collapse the rates for its on-net and off-net voice services, which it said has a 300 per cent differential with effect from tomorrow, May 1.



The NCC, in a report titled, ‘Determination of dominance in selected communications markets in Nigeria,” signed by Mr. Eugene Juwah, Executive Vice Chairman, NCC, said it plans to make a determination of pricing principle to address the rates charged for on-net and off-net voice calls for all other operators, to manage dominance in the market.



The NCC also disclosed that competition in the Nigerian mobile voice market is not highly competitive, and using what it called the HHI, said MTN with 44 percent of the market share has emerged the dominant operator in the mobile voice segment.



According to Juwah, an industry review showed phone calls between MTN customers cost three times lower than calls to other networks, indicative of the likely establishment of a calling club for MTN subscribers.

Juwah said, “As a result of the determination outlined above, the Commission has resolved to immediately enforce and implement accounting separation on the dominant operator; ensure that the differential between the on-net and off-net retail tariffs will immediately collapsed, while the tariff for on-net and off-net will be the same and subject to periodic review.



“The Commission may require the dominant operator to submit details on specific aspects of its operations from time as the need arises.”



Continuing, in the wholesale Leased Lines and Transmission Capacity market, which are in the upstream segment of the telecoms market, the NCC said the dominant operators, MTN and Glo jointly control 62 per cent of the market, and they shall be required to adhere to the following obligations as the Commission will come up with a price cap for wholesale services and price floor for retail services, and subject to periodic review.



“The Commission will immediately enforce and implement account separation on the joint dominant operators.



“The commission may require any of the joint dominant operators to submit details on specific aspects of its operations from time to time as the need arises.



“The determination shall take effect from 1st May 2013 and remain valid and binding on Licenses for the services specified in relevant market segments of the section, until further reviewed by the Commission.”



NCC said there are about 113 million mobile phone subscribers at the end of 2012, with MTN Nigeria leading with 47 million lines.



Globacom followed with 24 million users, Bharti Airtel had 23 million customers while Etisalat, had 14 million.

Nelson Mandela is 'in good shape' and 'good spirits', South African president Jacob Zuma said today.

He spoke as the first footage emerged of the 94-year-old former president since he left hospital on April 6 after suffering from pneumonia.

He spent 10 days in hospital being treated for the illness, which followed an earlier hospitalisation in December when he developed a lung infection and gallstones. See pictures below:










While with Mandela, Zuma jokes and laughs with two officials of the governing African National Congress, some Mandela family members and the former president's medical team, but Mandela stares straight ahead.

One of his grandsons cries 'Smile, smile,' as he takes a picture on his mobile phone. He attempts a weak smile but, as the flash goes off, he closes his eyes and purses his lips. He doesn't look strong at all.

The Nobel Peace laureate was imprisoned for 27 years during the apartheid era became the first democratically elected president of South Africa in 1994. God heal Mandela...

Actor Emeka Ike seems to have put behind him the pain of the recent loss of the Actors' Guild of

Nigeria (AGN) leadership to Ibinabo Fiberesima.



Splendor magazine exclusively gathered that Emeka Ike was in the U.S sometimes back where he took the opportunity to complete his role in a Hollywood movie which he has been working on for a while now.



Just as the saying goes, "a prophet has no honour in his town" , the climax of it all was that some white Americans who saw how well the Nollywood star acted during the shoot, began to rush him, jostling for his autographs.



According to our source who trailed the actor all the way in America, "the fans bombarded Emeka to the extent that even me, I began to wonder, shey nor bi the same Emeka Ike wey dey act for Nollywood for Naija bi dis?"

Vimbai Mutinhiri, born and raised in Zimbabwe, a graduate of politics, philosophy and economics, was one of the housemates on the 6th edition of the Big Brother Africa game-show in 2011, which had Karen Igho as winner. Recently, the pretty entertainer copped a job as co-host of the 1st edition of Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards, alongside IK Osakioduwa, in Lagos, Nigeria. In an interview with Adeoye Keme Arubayi, she expressed her thoughts about Nigeria and a couple of projects to be expected from her soon.



How would you describe yourself as a person and not the public figure?



Well, I am a very quiet and reserved person. I spend a lot of time at home with my DVDs and I’m crazy about good jazz music. I’m simple, loving, never take any moment for granted and always give everything my best.



What was life before Big Brother Africa (BBA) 6 like?



Life before Big Brother Africa was normal, I guess. I had just graduated from the university, started modelling and was trying to carve out a career in entertainment for myself before the opportunity came. I was just a normal young lady with big dreams.



What were your experiences in the BBA house?



Experiences in the Big Brother Africa House changed my life in so many ways. It was a unique experience living with people from different parts of the continent. I met new people, learnt new cultures, but most importantly I learnt a lot about myself. Basically, I could say I found myself, because there was so much pressure making it necessary that you defined yourself, in order to be noticed in the crowd.



What have you been up to after BBA and before AMVCA?




I now co-host a daily entertainment news show called Star Gist on Africa Magic Entertainment. I have been busy with it for over a year and it has been fantastic learning more about the African continent and its beautiful celebrities. This show is my life because it is my greatest passion.



How did you come about the AMVCA job and what was your reaction on getting it?




Honestly, I just received an email one day telling me that I had been chosen to host the event with IK. It was just before my birthday, so it was the perfect birthday present, and a wonderful blessing. I remained surprised until the very moment the show started.



What was it like co-hosting the AMVCAs with IK Osakioduwa?



It was a great because IK is so experienced in the industry, making it a great challenge to step up to his level and complement him on the stage. I learned a lot and I grew so much and he made that happen by making it easy and fun to handle. I’m glad I got to share the experience with him.



Have you done any major job apart from AMVCA?




I have hosted a number of major events in my home country, Zimbabwe, but certainly nothing of this magnitude. This was my second major experience in live broadcasting, the first being the hosting of the red carpet for Big Brother Star Game Finale. The AMVCA is a major career highlight for me.



What are we to expect from you in the nearest future?




Wow. Well the best is yet to come. I have a Nollywood movie coming out in the next couple of months featuring Denrele Edun and Bryan Okwara which I am very excited about. But other than that, I would say: watch this space because there are many more surprises coming from me.



What are your views on Nigeria as a country and its citizens?



Nigeria is one of the warmest nations I have ever visited in my life. The people are unique and I love their strong personalities. With every visit to Nigeria, I learn why Nigerians are some of the most successful people in the world.



What do you love most about Nigeria?



I thoroughly enjoy the Lagos nightlife, and of course the delicious food. I love suya and some great seafood dishes also.



Would you marry a Nigerian, if possible?

Certainly, Nigerian men are fine gentlemen.



Are you in any intimate relationship currently?




No, I am currently single.



Describe your dream man?



My dream man is caring, loving, patient with me even when I get dramatic and hyperactive. He should be able to encourage me when I am down and inspire me to grow. My dream man is the man who will always bring out the best in me and spoil me rotten, of course.



How do you balance relationship and work?



I think that everything has its season. When I step into a relationship, my man will respect the demands of the industry that I have chosen. Of course, a successful relationship is built on support and compromise, so I will always make sure that my man has his rightful place in my life.



Do you have religious backing in your career?




Nothing is possible without the hand of the almighty, so I commit every single thing in my life to him every morning when I open my eyes. I believe that I have only travelled this far in my career because God’s grace and favour are over me. Without his hand, I would be nothing and nobody.



Give me an inspirational quote that appeals to you and tell me why?




His grace is enough for me. That appeals to me the most because it is the testimony of my life.

About five police officers were killed in an attack in Bama Town of Borno State.



Barely a week after a massacre in Baga community of Borno State, a gun battle similar to the Baga massacre occurred on Thursday in Bama Town of the state, claiming 17 lives including soldiers and police officers, security officials said.



The commanding military officer in charge of Bama Barracks, A.G Laka told the visiting Borno State Governor, Kashim Shettima, that trouble started in the commercial town of Bama when armed Boko Haram gunmen attacked a police patrol vehicle of a Divisional Police Officer killing two cops.



Five police officers were also killed during the gun battle with the insurgents; while ten of the insurgents were also killed, the military officer said.



The soldier said another ambush on soldiers in the town on the same day claimed the life of a soldier and injured four others.



In response, the Joint team of soldiers and police returned fire on the raging attackers which led to a colossal destruction of buildings mostly shopping malls and shops.



Angry residents called on the federal government to withdraw the soldiers from the streets of the town; even as they vowed to lay down their lives should they suffer further attacks.



A PREMIUM TIMES reporter saw hundreds of houses and commercial buildings burnt.



A local ward head, who declined mentioning his name for security reasons, said over 200 small time traders lost their wares in the fire.





Mr. Laka said that Boko Haram insurgents were using civilians, mostly women and children in the thatch houses as shield.



He said the special bullets fired by soldiers are called tracers, saying “once they hit target they catch fire.”



The Borno State Governor expressed sadness with the development and called for a general caution on the part of operatives and residents.



He ordered that seven trucks of food items be distributed to the displaced residents, while a committee is expected to advise government on compensation for victims who suffered losses.
