"I'm still in love with Jim Iyke' - actress Stephnora Okere confesses
"I've been maintaining a low profile because of the fact that I wanted to re-arrange myself for the future having made one or two mistakes in the past.Yep, you guessed right, she's still in love with Jim Iyke. I hope single Jim Iyke reads this blog...lol. Continue to see the rest of the interview...
SDK: "What mistakes are you referring to? As an actress or your personal life?"
Stephnora: "Both. First as an actress, I allowed myself to put on weight and that is not good for the kind of profession I'm in. When I gained weight, I lost a lot of offer for movie roles. My personal life mistake concerns my involvement in a marriage process that never scaled through. I got involved with someone with someone who doesn't understand what the word love means. It took me being involved in that relationship to realise what true love really means. It made me realise that I had loved and still do love someone else."
SDK: Who exactly are you referring to that you still love?
Stephnora: I still love Jim Iyke
SDK: Wow, that's some revelation. I am sure even Jim Iyke will be shocked to read this. He must have impacted on you strongly.
Stephnora: Jim was and is still the best friend I've ever had. He was not just around, he was there as a friend, brother, lover, companion. He was always there. He understood me.
Sports Illustrated Model, Adaora Akubilo, Responds To Her Critics
You all saw her Sports Illustrated photos some weeks back and some of
you criticized her. The sexy Nigerian-American Sports Illustrated model
has responded to the criticisms. She tells Culture Shock Nigerians:
Well, what I would say about the blog posts and the nudity thing, my father is very proud of me, first and foremost. I am a well rounded individual. I did everything he wanted me to do, and kind of like what I wanted to do, like going to school, getting my education, and this is just something that I’m adding to my resume and my life achievements and accomplishments so he’s very proud of me. And as long as I’m happy that’s all he cares about.
It’s not all out there. It’s done in a very tasteful
way and I would never compromise myself. If I wasn’t comfortable doing
it and if I felt like I was in some way doing something that would
embarrass my family, I would never do anything that would embarrass my
family or myself for that matter.
So nudity done in a tasteful way, and if you’re comfortable, God
created these bodies of ours, you know, I’m just celebrating it. And
getting paid at the same time so that’s a good thing.

BREAKING NEWS: Man, 53, remanded for allegedly raping 2-year-old
MARARABA — An Upper Area Court in Mararaba, Nasarawa State,
yesterday, remanded a 53-year old security man, Daniel Kura, of Aunty
Alice, Mararaba, in prison for allegedly raping a two-year old girl.
The police prosecutor, Mr Stephen Kwaza, told the court that the matter was reported by the victim’s father at Sani Abacha Police Station on April 1.
Kwaza said the accused deceived the minor and forcefully had carnal knowledge of her on Monday. He said the offence contravened provisions of the Penal Code.
The prosecutor objected to the court granting bail to the accused because the matter was still being investigated.
He said the allegation against the accused was not a bailable offence and that the victim was undergoing treatment.
However, the accused pleaded not guilty to the charge. The Judge, Mr Vincent Gwahemba, granted the prayers and ordered the accused to be remanded in prison and adjourned the case to April 29 for further mention.
The Chairman, Oba-in-Council of the town, the Atunluse of Ayoboland, Chief Sunday Akpan, said the terrorists were actually from NigerRepublic and that the Hausa community too needed to ensure that the impostors are fished out to avoid unnecessary bloodshed in the state.
In his remark, representative of the Divisional Police Officer of Ipaja Divisional Police Headquarters, ASP Sunny Ejenkpokpo, said men and officers of the division were more than ready to ensure adequate security in the community and solicited the cooperation of the residents because, according to him, “security is a communal effort.”
