Karen Igho engaged

The 28-year-old made the announcement earlier today via the social micro-blogging website, Twitter. ‘He proposed. He said Karen, will you marry me‘, Karen Igho confirmed in a series of tweets. She also posted a picture on her timeline of a hand (believed to be hers) with a ring on the fourth finger.

In a text message sent to our reporter, one of the BBA star’s reps confirmed the story to be true but claimed ignorance of the proposer’s identity. Her personal assistant also refused to make any comments concerning the proposal.

None of her tweets say who this mysterious suitor is, and fans and friends have expressed different reactions to the story, with many congratulating her.

Earlier in the month, Karen hosted her former BBA housemates and a few Nigerian celebrities at her ‘Karenified‘ birthday party, where she officially launched her urban street wear collection.

Man kills own son, wounds wife out of jealousy

A 40-year-old man, Henry Nnamdi, is in the police custody for allegedly killing his toddler son.
The suspect is also being held for attempted murder as he allegedly inflicted grievous wound on his wife over suspicion that the wife is involved in extra-marital affairs with his father.
The incident happened on April 8, 2012 at 3, Lambe Street, Ago Palace Way, Okota, Lagos.
It was gathered that the suspect used a hot pressing iron to inflict degrees of injuries on his wife’s breasts and other parts of her body in his bid to “rid” her of adultery.
The suspect also allegedly used other dangerous weapons to inflict injury on his wife, which caused her to go into a coma.



Thinking that she had died, the suspect was said to have pounced on his son, slammed him to the wall, killing him instantly.
He was said to have locked his wife in their one room apartment and fled the scene of the incident with the dead son.
The suspect was later arrested and the corpse of the toddler recovered.
The case has been transferred to the Homicide Department at Panti, Yaba, Lagos for thorough investigation.
Sources, who do not want to be quoted, said the suspected jealous husband did not just stop at wounding his wife as his anger was turned on his son whom he killed following allegation that his wife had the boy for another man.
Mrs. Nnamdi has since been taken to the Evolution Hospital, Okota.
She is said to be in a critical condition and would need urgent surgeries to keep her alive.

They beat them both, put them naked and forced them to kiss in public. Call it Jungle justice. Do you think such treatment is right? We have heard of cases of Men of God thoroughly beaten for such incidences in Nigeria, but this is too much.

Mercy Johnson Assaults a Fan On Set

Actress Mercy Johnson recently displayed that when it comes to anger management, she is just as vulnerable as super model, Naomi Campbell.

While filming in Asaba, the Delta State capital a couple of months back, the actress lost her cool, seized a fan’s blackberry phone and guess what? Smashed it!

Reason, the fan, a make-up artiste on the set was filming her while in action acting a romantic scene.

Insiders who witnessed the shameful drama on the set of a movie by Amaco Brothers entitled In The Mind, says that all was well until a make-up artiste on set, a female, obviously enthralled by the callipygian decided to record her favourite star on her blackberry phone as she was acting a romantic scene.

Sources say she was in the thick of acting when she noticed what was happening and jumped off set and charged at the make-up artiste. Slapped her across the face, grabbed her black berry phone and smashed it shouting: “This is how it all begins, this is how it all begins. Before you know it they will start writing lies about me in the press!”

So angry was Mrs. Okogie that it took the entire cast to calm her down and she only agreed to continue shooting on one condition that the said make-up artiste be dismissed from the set.

“I am really shocked,” the said make-up artiste moaned as she sobbed obviously in shock at Mercy’s attack. “I respect and love Mercy so much. She is my role model. I never believed she could get so angry and do such a terrible thing to me. Now I have lost my blackberry phone; I am so sad.”

Few years ago, super model, Naomi Campbell had a similar experience after she threw her Blackberry phone at a maid who eventually sued her for assault.
