ENTERTAINMENT NEWS: TIWA SAVAGE KEEPS SILENCE OVER POLICE ASSAULT
ENTERTAINMENT NEWS
Contrary to expectation, singer Tiwa Savage has failed to explain her role in the circumstances that led to her arrest by the police in Lagos on Saturday.
The Mavin Records artiste and brand ambassador for MTN Nigeria, Pepsi and Forte Oil was alleged to have assaulted and humiliated a policeman, who apprehended her for violating some provisions of the Lagos State Road Traffic Law.
She was said to have, in a fit of anger, removed the cap of the policeman who accosted her for flouting traffic rules outside the premises of Eko Hotels and Suites on Victoria Island.
When contacted by our correspondent, the Group Publicist of Mavin Records, Terfa Tilley-Gyado, had promised to issue a statement stating Savage's side of the story. But, as at press time on Monday, he had yet to do so.
Several phone calls placed to Tilley-Gyado's mobile phone rang out and he failed to respond to a text message sent to him.
Meanwhile, checks on Savage's Twitter handle showed that she avoided mentioning her encounter with the policeman. A handful of her tweeting fans tried in vain to make her explain the circumstances that led to her arrest.
Besides, the singer's website, officialtiwasavage.com, and her Facebook page were not updated to provide any information about the incident. However, many Nigerians have frowned on her behaviour towards the aggrieved law enforcement officer.
According to them, Savage, who studied at the University of Kent in the United Kingdom, where she bagged a degree in Business Administration and Accounting, should have known that policemen deserved to be treated with respect.

ENTERTAINMENT GIST: WHY I AM AFRAID OF DEATH-VETERAN ACTOR,PETE EDOCHIE REVEALS
ENTERTAINMENT GIST
Veteran actor, Pete Edochie who is popularly known for his 'no-nonsense, strict father' roles he plays in movies has been off the scene for a while in a recent interview reveals why he is afraid of death.
"I smoked for 21 years before I quit, and each time I got tensed up, I looked for a cigarette, and psychologically I was puffing away the anger; but there is no other thing it does for you physically but to destroy your lungs".
On if he's afraid of death and if he thinks about it
Yes, I think about death. Why shouldn't I? I think about death not because it is inevitable but because I would like to be prepared to meet my maker when the time comes. That's why I am afraid of death. There is nobody alive who likes dying. Even if a man is 100 years, loses his sight, becomes a vegetable and inconveniences others, he still wouldn't like to go. So, yes, as a normal human being, I think of death. Merely thinking of death encourages me to avoid excesses.
On why he gave up smoking
As a young man, I drank a lot. I could drink any bottle under the table. It was because of peer group pressure. We enjoyed diverting ourselves alcoholically. We were not given to subduing the womenfolk as a mark of accomplishment; we always got together to drink and smoke cigarettes. As we got older, I felt there is a need to cut down on all these excesses. I gave up smoking though I smoked for 21 years. I gave it up when I discovered it wasn't serving any purpose.
On how he now wards off anger after giving up smoking 21 years ago to manage his anger
I don't get angry easily anymore; I used my Fabian philosophy to stop that.
On if he is a fulfilled man
Yes. What else am I going to ask from God? I have a brilliant wife and brilliant children. So, yes, I am (fulfilled).
ENTERTAINMENT NEWS: SAHEED BALOGUN's DARKEST SECRET GETS EXPOSED
ENTERTAINMENT NEWS
Handsome actor and producer, Saheed Balogun, has one dark secret that he's been hiding from his teeming fans.
The Oro, Kwara State born role interpreter deflowered, impregnated and abandoned the mother of his first child and with all the bitterness she could muster, the lady, Sherifat Yusuf, placed a curse on him. A source who is very close to the distraught and devastated lady said that "until Saheed goes to her to plead for forgiveness, he will continue to have issues with his marriages. The hell he went through in Fathia Balogun's hands is only the beginning. He will go through worse things in the hands of any other woman he decides to replace Fathia with. The only way out is for him to go and beg Sherifat and his daughter and first child, Zainat, whom he abandoned almost 15 years ago."
Expantiating on Saheed's love quagmire, the source said, "The sad story dates back over a decade. As a matter of fact, the fruit of the union (Zainat) should be about 13 years or so now. Sherifat was only 22 when they met. She was so innocent and naive. Saheed was older and living with his uncle at the time in Ebute Metta, Lagos. He was Sheri's first love and also the person that deflowered her. Sheri became pregnant along the line and later had a baby girl. Because Saheed was barely managing to survive then, during the child's naming ceremony, he contributed nothing. Sheri's parents (Alhaji and Alhaja Yusuf) who also loved and treated him like a son bore the entire expenses. The same Alhaji and Sheri's uncle, Bode Yusuf, sponsored Saheed's first movie. Then, from nowhere, Fathia breezed in from London and scattered everything.
Besides Alhaji and Alhaja Yusuf who were shocked by Saheed's neglect of their daughter and his child, the actor's mother, Mrs. Sariyu Balogun and sister, Idiat, were also said to be sympathetic to Sheri's cause until they too changed. But like the source stated again: "Saheed is owing Sheri, and whether or not he likes it, he must beg her for forgiveness otherwise what he's going through in the hands of women will continue".
Sheri, meanwhile, has finally moved on with her life. She's in love with another man now.
Attempts to speak with him were futile and text message to him on Friday, February 14, 2014 was not attended.
