The crisis-ridden Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Oyo State was further depleted yesterday as one of its aggrieved leading governorship aspirants, Seyi Makinde picked up the ticket of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, as its candidate for the 2015 election.
PDP SINKING
Just last week, a former governor of the state, Otunba Adebayo Alao-Akala also dumped the party for the Labour Party after the former Senate Leader, Senator Teslim Folarin was given the party’s ticket.
While declaring his intention to call it quits with the party in Ibadan yesterday with all his teeming supporters, Makinde said; “After fruitless efforts to ensure that free and fair election prevailed within PDP and witnessing the yearnings of the ordinary people of Oyo State that are asking for change for the reduction of poverty due to poor governance, I find it extremely difficult to shy away from this popular demand to make a difference in lives of our people.”
You know when a rumour about two celebrities seeing each other erupts and they keep denying? Have noticed it all kinda comes out to be true i.e Tiwa Savage,Omawumi and the likes.. Even when the media figured out Daniel and Stella they still kept denying forming business partner levels.. Well its all out now..read and watch what she shared on all the husband snatching tales below,on reports she stole Doris' son and well lots more..
On her relationship with Daniel Ademinokan:
“Let me put it this way. Let me help you hit the nail on the head. One
of the comments I have seen consistently, over and over again, is
‘Stella snatches somebody’s husband’, ‘Stella the husband snatcher’,
which is what has been going on. And I had sworn that I would never talk
about it, or even listen or stress myself about this thing but I have
decided to do this now, so that I end this once and for all.
First of all, let me paint a picture for you and you let me know what
makes sense to you. When I looked up the word snatch or steal, ehh,
let’s go to the dictionary. It means, forcefully taking something away
from its original position. Forcefully. From its original position to
another position. Something that does not belong to you. That’s what I
gathered from the word snatch or steal.
So I looked at me, Stella, and I wondered to myself, how is it possible
to go to somebody’s home, and take a man, and take his son, away from
his home and say follow me. You are a man, and according to their story,
he is happily married inside his home. With his family complete and I
walk into that home, to forcefully take a man, abled bodied man, and a
kid, away from somebody’s hand and you are there looking at me. How does
that work?
Did they accuse me of using voodoo? Yes
or no? They said no. Okay, did I put a gun on anybody’s head and remove
somebody from somewhere? They said no. So logically, if people actually
sit down and think about it intelligently, how do you snatch somebody
from somebody and the person is there looking at you?
So when
you see a man who has settled ties with a woman and decides to move on
with his life and you feel that there is something in this man that you
like and he likes you. I am not a kid. I am 36 years old. I am not about
to start hiding myself. I was waiting for somebody to actually ask me
this question, because all I have heard for the past two, three years
are rumours. They said, blogs said, this said. Nobody has been bold
enough to confront me and ask me. So I say, if I steal something from
somebody, and the person is really the owner of the thing, you come and
ask me, ‘you took something from me, give me back’.
But
nobody was able to that. And I am like, if I meet an abled bodied man
that has left and moved on. That is not even in the same house with
whoever and is not doing anything with whoever, and both parties have
decided this thing is not going anywhere, and they have gone their
separate ways, why is it that it easier for the world to blame the woman
that the man has decided to end up with?
Why is it that it is always that woman that scattered that home?
The two people that did things that nobody was there, nobody said
something must have happened between this two people but it is always
somebody else that is the problem. And I always say, I do not tolerate
blaming anybody for your own problems. I have had problems.
After my late husband’s death, I got married again and the marriage
didn’t work. After eight (8) months, it crashed. People didn’t hear much
about it, why? We were both mature to understand that we came together,
we knew that the thing was not working, instead of us to become enemies
we will remain friends, let’s just let it go quietly. And we let it go
quietly. I didn’t blame anybody else for doing it, he didn’t blame
anybody else for doing it. So I am wondering, two people come together
they go their separate ways, this one meets somebody, all of a sudden,
it is that somebody that is the problem. Did anybody ever ask, what went
wrong? Why would a man pick up his son and walk away from his marriage?
Was there anytime another woman was the problem until the
man moved on with another woman? Nobody brought up Stella’s name, then
all of a sudden, ‘oh he’s moved on with somebody else (snaps fingers),
it must be her’. How? I am still waiting for somebody to come with proof
to say ‘oh when they were still in marriage, when they were still in a
house, you came and did this.’ So the reason why I don’t like talking
about it is that, there are some things I would say to you and you would
look at me like ‘oh wow’ but I don’t want to be derogatory, I don’t
want to tow the line that other people have towed by talking bad about
people.
I would never do that but the stories started coming.
At first I ignored it, I just kept quiet, and then it was all over the
place, Google, blogs, and I am like, one day, one day, I would tell my
story. There’s a reason why I am respecting certain people, respecting
certain legal issues that are going on. So there might be some things I
may not hammer on, but whenever you hear this person snatched this
person’s, you will ask the person, the person that they said was the
original owner, what was the person doing when they were snatching the
person from him or her? I don’t get it. Do you understand?
So
I look at it, I am not ugly, I am not dumb. Of all the men in the
world, I will now go and look for somebody else own and say this is the
one I want. If he didn’t come out of it and say I want to be with you
and you want to be with me, how? Why would I come and grab…? Am I that
bad looking? Am I that old?.”
On if she ever thought she and
Daniel, should go their separate ways: Not at all, not at all. You know
why? Because my conscience was clear. Whatever issues a man has with his
wife or whatever, when they deal with it, they deal with it, I don’t
come into it. And once you are done with it, and ready to move on, and
you want to move on with me, and I want a life with you, it’s me and
you. I don’t care what anybody else is thinking or saying.
People have said this, it hurt because of the impression people tried to
create but I looked at myself and asked myself, Stella in your heart do
you believe you did anything bad? If my answer is no, then my dear,
there is no looking back. Because I am not a kid for me to make a
decision and say I want to be with this person. If I marry 10, it
concern you? That’s what I used to say.
If I have 50
husbands, how does that affect you? Does it change my work? I do my
work, you enjoy it. Enjoy it. It’s not about what I do in my bedroom
that is your issue because you don’t really know what happens in
people’s bedrooms. You don’t know what happens in marriages, you don’t
know why people like us are very weary of people knowing our business.
You don’t know how many marriages are suffering in silence. The issue
of domestic violence that I am fighting for, it’s part of it. There are
marriages that they will tell themselves, especially celebrities we
suffer from that, you are in a marriage and because you are worried
about the press, the media, you stay in. You just stay in, you act, you
play for the camera, you act like everything is okay. Then you get home
and everything is hell because you know the moment you take that bold
step and walk away, the backlash will be so bad.
But you now
ask yourself, to stay in and become a monster or to just quietly live
and preserve my sanity. When you leave to preserve your sanity, then the
world wants to make you crazy. You understand. So it’s a matter of
choice. People make choices everyday. They’ve made theirs, I have made
mine. If you can’t deal with it, no problem. It is my life. Live yours,
and I will live mine. And I am Happy. I am not ashamed. Never a moment
of regret.”
On tying the knot with Jaiye Aboderin at the age of 21:
“I always wanted to start early. I always wanted to have children
early. I wanted to have a marriage early, I wanted to grow with a
family. I wanted to learn the inside of it, I didn’t want to wait and
grow, and mature, and become big and famous then start to wonder ‘oh,
will anyone marry me now’.
I didn’t want that to happen because
at 16 I was already popular. I was making money, I was traveling. So at
that point looking at my life, I said, if I do this for another five
(5), six (6), seven (7) years, and I don’t start a family, it will
become more difficult for me later on. And so, I decided if I find
somebody who I love, who will love me back, we will go together. We will
fight all the fight, make up, we will do whatever, but we will grow old
together. And that’s what happened.
And I am happy I made that
decision, because today I have a 15 year old. I grew up with my
children. When you see the three of us, and you see my daughters, you
will think we are sisters. And we talk as friends. So it was an
important thing for me. To have a family, and have that…I needed
something to check me. We have a tendency to be crazy and do whatever we
like because we could get away with anything, we could travel all over
the world, we could get people to like us like this (snaps finger), we
had money to throw around. If I don’t have that family unit to check me,
I don’t know what I would have become and I won’t lie about that.”
On recovering from losing him: Recover?
Do you really recover? They say time heals. I say, I have a different
definition, I say time numbs. It is not something that heals, and then
that’s it, it’s gone, it’s gone, No. This is someone you planned to
spend the rest of your life with, and grow with.
We made plans,
like every other couple. And when that happened…he died when I was 26
with two children. I just felt that my life had ended. So, but with
time, this year, December 3rd will 10 years, one full decade. So it is
not healing, I won’t call it healing but I will say it numbs it and once
in a while, it comes up and the pain is as fresh like yesterday but it
is how you deal with it that matters.
And that’s what I have
had to do for the past 10 years but I am very grateful for the family I
have, for the people I have around me. For that, you need a lot of
strength. God helped me through it all.”
On Widow being her story:
“Widow is a true life story but not my story. The woman who I played
lives with her children in the UK. I did Widow, months before my husband
passed away. So I saw the lady that I played, so when the movie came
out, the movie came out after my husband had died.
It didn’t
come out before. So when it came out, everybody thought ‘oh that’s her
story, she was telling her story’. It wasn’t my story. I wasn’t upset, I
was actually grateful that I did such a great job that people believed
that it was me. Because as at the time I was doing it, my husband was,
in fact he was the one dropping me off on location. So it means I must
have done a very good job for people to actual feel it and say oh that’s
her story.”

When you are in a long-term relationship, it’s important to know all the romance killers. Unfortunately, many couples do them without even realizing it. So if you feel the romance between you and your partner is fading, here are some biggest romance killers you should avoid.
1. Talking about your exes Talking about your ex is one of the biggest romance killers you should avoid! After all, do you want to hear your partner talk about his ex? I’m sure you don’t! Even if your boyfriend will ask you about your exes, don’t answer and try to change the subject!
2. Talking down about yourself
No guy likes to hear his girlfriend talk negative about herself. No matter how you see yourself, your boyfriend is with you for a reason. He loves you and he thinks you are beautiful and sexy! If you don’t love yourself your partner will find it difficult to love you too!
Comedian Basket Mouth jokingly told some truth about the ‘kukere’ crooner at the Headies award 2014 which held at the Eko Hotel and Suites on Sunday Night. Of course, he is a comedian and anything goes, but sometimes fans hold true some of these spoken words.
We all know how much Iyanya loves to show off his Six packs on his instagram page and yea, the ladies keep drooling – Basketmouth has however jokingly revealed why the singer always poses without his shirt on. Read what he said below::...
“You see my people, this is why i don’t like posting photos on instagram. This suit I am hearing now, once it hits instagram, it is a complete waste because everyone would have seen it and when i wear it to any other event, you people will staring mocking me and saying i don’t have clothes. But my friend Iyanya, he posts like no man business to his million fans on instagram…but it’s like the dude has consumed all his shirts. (Everyone bursts into laughter)…if you notice these days, all he does is to post nude photos because he has exhausted all his shirts and if he re-wears any, you people will talk (everyone claps as some nod their heads n agreement)”
