(Sadly, Samantha was not part of the new spin-off, and her sassy ensembles and witty one-liners will continue to be sorely missed.) Season one didn’t disappoint when it came to standout fashion moments, with highlights including a s...

Born and brought up in Lagos, the Ogun indigene talked about the many facets that make up his being. From attending several tertiary institutions before his eventual graduation – bagging a Theatre Arts degree at the Redeemer’s University to years behind the scenes often taking acting roles as insignificant extras to the point of almost giving up on his acting dream (which has done him a world of good in hindsight,) to flawlessly radiating onscreen either as “Daddy Wa”, ...

APC PRIMARIES: LAST CREDIBLE MAN STANDING
APC PRIMARIES: LAST CREDIBLE MAN STANDING By Walero Ajiwo In choosing Alhaji Atiku Abubakar as its presidential flag bearer last weekend, the. People’s Democratic Party (PDP) flagrantly repudiated its rotational system by giving its ticket to the highest spender, thereby humiliating its members from Southern Nigeria.

Atiku has also been enmeshed in several scandalous cases, even when he wa...
