Actress, Ronke Odusanya opens up on her love life: I have found love and I am happy

Nollywood actress, Ronke Odusanya popularly called “Flakky Ididowo” has just opened up with details on how she met her new 'mystery' man.

The actress had a chat with LIB recently where she explained, 'I have children who surround me but I don’t have any of my own. This is why I say people believe so much garbage on social media. Lots of people have asked me this question but as at this moment, I have never had a child'.

See excerpts below...

Q: There's been alot of wedding bells in your industry lately, tell us about your love life?

(Laugh) Well is life all about dating.. There are more things to life. I think it’s very important that you find your purpose first and live your purpose. For some dating might strangle that opportunity to live out their purpose. Also, as an entertainer who has a publicly known face, It is difficult to always put your business out there. People make up silly assumption and assume them true without intending to find out the truth. So just say that I’ve learnt lessons.. real life lessons.. Maybe someday, I’ll write a book.. (Laugh). I have been dating but you just don’t know it. You won’t see it in public. That’s my private business.

Q: When Celebs keep things away from the public, it seems like they are hiding...

Hiding bawo, How do you mean? Even before I had relationship scandals, I have been a private person. Infact, way back in school. Those that know me.. I mean those that really know me can testify to this. I keep a very private life. Its my nature. Has nothing to do with hiding. I attend events when I can and feel like. You are an entertainer or celeb doesn’t mean you can’t have a private life. Those who do have mastered the art but trust me, what you see on social media is totally flawed. Many are living a double face identity. Me, I no get anything to hide. I just don’t believe in putting all in front of you.

Q: You mentioned that you had scandals, Which of them really rocked you?

Rocked .. you mean disturbed me?  

Q: Yes, in that context too

A: Well.. I think I’m way beyond rocking now.. I wouldn’t want to go into details but if you care to know, you can google them, you’ll find the stories everywhere. The impact has reduced now though but it hurt me back them. They were clear relationships. Nothing was hidden, everyone that cared to know knew.

My family did which was important to me. But the truth is some things happened … and I’ve granted interviews to reveal my own side but you see. The one that will sell newspaper and online blogs where they will add salt and pepper will trend. People believed and were not interested in the truth. We operate a society where you are judged and condemned in the Peoples opinion court which the chance to defend yourself.  

Q: Has there been any relationship you regretted?

I am not a child, so no regrets .. I went into the relationship I had with love and certainly in a relationship now .. In love. (Laugh). Feels good to say that … and he loves me too. That’s what matters to me. Considering issues I’ve been through with men, I can be a difficult person so a man who devotes time and energy to me must be truly ready.  

Q: How did you meet this your new guy?

We met no ni.. (All laugh). You people love gist sha.. The good thing about him is that he is not married. Which also means he has never divorced but he has a child.. A son who is 5 years old now. I met him and we became partners. If we decide to do anything further, you guys will hear about it. We have been out on two or more occasions.

You know, It still amazes me on how we became partners because when I met him, I knew he was popular amongst girls. He is the outgoing type so he has a good history with girls around Magodo and Ketu (Laugh). Infact, some girls have called me to ask why I should be with someone like that. I keep wondering how its their business. Why didn’t they ask why he ended up being with me? What makes them think I’m better than him? Is it because he is an extrovert or been with a lot of girls?

Some even called me to say he is too loud, he can be lousy… but does that make me a better person than him? Have you checked his inward expression and attributes? I remember one time like that that I was dating a popular person. Lots of people were like why are you dating this guy? He isn’t a porch person in quote. But honestly, I dated that person because he was such a good person to me and he took care of me. There were things I did and he forgave me. Going back to my new partner, I have done lots of things in the past that he heard and forgave me going forward… So the fact that I’m quiet and more reserved or you’ll say private doesn’t make me better than him.  Infact, another person said, Ki ni mo wa de be .. Like how did I get involved with him? Noo.. Like I’m meant to snatch someone’s husband right. So people should take a chill pill … relationship isn’t easy but I’m happy with the man in my life now.  All you will see is people amplifying your imperfections without recourse to the damage it could cause in the lives of those involved. You know, this is the reason we have many people in my industry who haven’t gotten married or are divorced. We are all looking for Mr Perfect. Then those that have a looking perfect home, make it perfect on social media. Those that truly have a perfect home, people are looking for ways to make imperfect. A ye le o. So its important to chart your course and stay focused.  

Q. So what's the direction for you both? Wedding bells coming as we have seen you wear a ring on your finger?

(Laugh) It’s a fashion ring. I love to wear jewelries. Our parents and immediate family members are ok with us so that’s the most important. Other things, you will know in the future. The future holds the answer so let’s be patient.

Q: How is your child? You always share pictures on social media?

Oh yes.. I have children who surround me but I don’t have any of my own. This is why I say people believe so much garbage on social media. Lots of people have asked me this question. I have never had a child. All the pictures of children you see on my page are friends or my brother's kid.  

Q: Will you quit the entertainment industry to start a family?

My man doesn’t believe in that. He supports my career. I love my work. I repeat .. I love my work and very open to movie roles and business. My manager always says I’m a work junky. But most certainly, I’ll find a balance.

Secrets Revealed From Taylor Swift's First Lover Secret Session

A new Taylor Swift era is upon us, and that means Swifties around the world are begging for a golden ticket to one of her secret sessions. 

Ahead of an album release, it's become a tradition for the pop star to handpick a group of fans to her home for a private listening party. On Friday, she kicked off her very first Lover secret session in London, where a very exclusive group of Swift loyalists gathered to mingle with their idol and listen to Lover in its entirety. 

While attendees are sworn to secrecy (the T. Swift code of honor is a thing, OK?!), there are few details that have made their way out since the session wrapped. Let's break it down, shall we?

Lover Has Something For Every Music Fan:

If there was one word that guests had to describe Taylor's new album it would be "BOP!" As one fan described, "There are some really stripped-down stuff and some hardcore bops. But all in all, amazing. If reputation wasn't your cup of tea, I am sure you will love Lover." 

Break out the Kleenex, because Taylor is going deep on Lover. One fan went as far to say they almost cried "uncontrollably" after hearing one track, adding, "A few of the other songs made me tear up a little... But that was 'cause they were very sweet and romantic!"

Another fan compared Lover to 1989, explaining, "It was definitely a mixed bag, but [a] very real and raw album."

Taylor Shared a Special Moment With One LGBTQ+ Fan:

After writing an emotional letter to Taylor describing how her hit song "ME!" inspired him on his coming out journey, the fan revealed that she read the piece out loud during the secret session.

“It’s lovely (being with Stefflon Don). I don’t know how to explain it. It’s just that I try to now kind of like keep it between us.

“I don’t want to be putting our thing out there in front of everybody anymore. Like you’d be there and you can see it but I don’t want to put it out there for everyone,” he said.

Biodun Fatoyinbo admonishes followers not to allow themselves to be used to further the work of the enemy

Biodun Fatoyinbo, the embattled Senior Pastor of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly COZA, has asked his members not to allow themselves be used to further the works of the enemy. The clergyman who is currently enmeshed in a rape scandal, said this while preaching in his church recently.

In his words

Anywhere you are, you are there as an extension of the ministry of Jesus. That is what heaven depends on you for. How many of us here can say I am an extension. How you know you are an extension is that you function with love. How come you make excuses for yourself but you don't make excuses for other people? How come you are the first to yield to the assignment of the enemy? Everytime you want to do something, make another move, ask yourself, will this build the work of the enemy or destroy the work of the enemy?

Flame, a US gospel rapper has been awarded $2.7 million in damages against Katy Perry in the latest high-profile copyright ruling rocking the American music industry. 

Katy Perry was sued 5 years ago by Flame and two co-writers who claimed that her 2013 hit “Dark Horse” was stolen from his and Lecrae’s song “Joyful Noise” which was released in 2008.

Though the Pop singer said she had never heard of Gray’s 2009 rap “Joyful Noise" when she took the stand in a weeklong trial, the gospel rapper's lawyers argued for a far higher penalty of around $20 million. Katy Perry reportedly made $31m from the single, album sales and concert DVD that featured the song.

 “These defendants made millions and millions of dollars from their infringement of the plaintiffs’ song,” attorney Michael Kahn told the court.

Katy Perry was however ordered by the federal jury in California to pay $500,000 in damages, her label Capitol Records was ordered to pay $1.2 million while her producers will also pay towards the $2.78m sum.

2019 Broker Prize Award Nigerian Writer Longlisted

Nigerian writer, Chigozie Obioma’s second novel “An Orchestra of Minorities,” was announced on Wednesday as one of the books in the running for the Booker Prize, Britain’s most prestigious literary award.

Obioma, whose novel “The Fishermen” was a Finalist on the Booker Prize in 2015, faces strong competition for the award. Other nominated books include Salman Rushdie’s forthcoming “Quichotte,” about a traveling salesman who drives across the United States, and “10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World” by Elif Shafak, about a prostitute in Istanbul.

Of Igbo descent, Obioma was born into a family of 12 children — seven brothers and four sisters – in Akure, in the southwestern part of Nigeria, where he grew up speaking Yoruba, Igbo, and English. As a child, he was fascinated by Greek myths and the British masters, including Shakespeare, John Milton, and John Bunyan. Among African writers, he developed a strong affinity for Wole Soyinka’s The Trials of Brother Jero; Cyprian Ekwensi’s An African Night’s Entertainment; Camara Laye’s The African Child; and D. O. Fagunwa’s Ògbójú ?d? nínú Igbó Irúnmal??, which he read in its original Yoruba version. Obioma cites his seminal influences as The Palm-Wine Drinkard by Amos Tutuola, for its breadth of imagination; Tess of the d’Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy, for its enduring grace and heart; The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy and Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov, both for the power of their prose; and Arrow of God by Chinua Achebe, for its firmness in Igbo culture and philosophy.

Obioma’s first novel, The Fishermen, has been translated into 27 languages and has received several awards. In addition to being listed as a 2015 New York Times Sunday Book Review Notable Book[8] and a New York Times Sunday Book Review Editor’s Choice selection.

Madonna: Harvey Weinstein 'crossed lines and boundaries' when we worked together

"I was aware that he did the same with a lot of other women that I knew in the business," Madonna has said of Harvey Weinstein.

Madonna has become the latest star to speak out about Harvey Weinstein, saying the now disgraced film mogul "crossed lines and boundaries" when they worked together.

In a new interview with the New York Times Magazine, celebrating Madonna at Sixty, the star was asked for her thoughts on the Time's Up movement, which was founded in Hollywood after the first allegations were made against Weinstein in 2017.

Miramax, the company Weinstein owned with his brother, distributed the documentary film Truth Or Dare, also known as In Bed With Madonna, in 1991.

"Harvey crossed lines and boundaries and was incredibly sexually flirtatious and forward with me when we were working together; he was married at the time, and I certainly wasn't interested," Madonna said in the interview.

"I was aware that he did the same with a lot of other women that I knew in the business. And we were all, 'Harvey gets to do that because he's got so much power and he's so successful and his movies do so well and everybody wants to work with him, so you have to put up with it'."

Madonna, who performed at Eurovision last month, spoke about her feelings when the allegations against Weinstein were made public.

Anthony Joshua enjoys night out in New York as he makes his first public appearance after Andy Ruiz Jnr defeat

British-Nigerian boxer, Anthony Joshua has been pictured for the first in public since his shocking defeat by Andy Ruiz Jnr on Saturday night.

The 29-year-old who was dropped four times before the referee stepped in in the seventh round at Madison Square Garden was spotted enjoying a night-time stroll as he exited Golden Swan Garden, a small park in West Village in New York on Wednesday. 

Joshua spoke out about his defeat on Wednesday, addressing his fans via  YouTube.

'I took my first (professional) loss,' he said. 'How to explain that feeling? It has happened to me before but I feel like those times I lost years back have made me a stronger person,' 

'It hasn't really changed me, my work ethic, my mindset, what I stand for, the people I'm still loyal to — my trainer Rob McCracken, my amateur coach at Finchley ABC. I'm still going to work with these guys, they'll teach me everything I need to know.

'They've done a great job for me not only inside the boxing ring but mainly as a human. They've really developed me as a person which is really important. These guys have been with me for years.'

The boxer who has vowed to win back IBO, IBF, WBO, and WBA also refused to make any excuses for his defeat to the Mexican.

'There was no contaminated food. I know there's a lot of accusations or worries about what was wrong with me,' Joshua added.

'But I want to tell you this — I'm a soldier and I have to take my ups and my downs. And on Saturday I took a loss and I have to take it like a man. I have to take my loss like a man, no blaming anyone or anything.

'I'm the one who went in there to perform and my performance didn't go to plan. I'm the one who has to adjust, analyse and do my best to correct it and get the job done in the rematch.

'Boxing is a part of my life and I'm a champion at heart. Congratulations to Andy Ruiz, he has six months or so to be champion because the belts go in the air and he has to defend them against myself.
