// Beverly Osu turns 22 tomorrow, stuns in new photos

Beverly Osu will be 22 tomorrow and she has just released some new photos and a poem as seen below:

22 represents God; The Master Builder, The Manifestation of dreams, The Future, Realisation, Personal Power, Retribution, Love, War and a visionary.

As I turn 22 I am proficient and a strong leader. I have the potential to be successful. I will fulfil my highest potential by bringing ideals into everyday reality. I am stronger today because I turn 22. 

 

I represent an African leader, The strength of a woman.

"I am a woman. I do not like war. However, I would rather die rather than accepting your deal..."

These were the words of Empress Titus, The  ETHIOPIAN QUEEN, wife of Emperor Menelik. She is known to have wielded considerable political power. She was a key player in the dispute over the

"Treaty of Wuchale" with Italy in which the Italian version made Ethiopia an Italian protectorate.

"Wathin't a bafazi, way ithint'imbolodo ufo Kufa" (now you have touched the women), you have struck a rock, you have dislodged a boulder, you will be crushed).

I have found my strength after the BBA show..I have been down but not crushed. I am humble but not stupid. I fall, I rise. I make mistakes, I learn, I have been hurt but I'm alive. I'm human. I am 22 years old, I'm youthful. I'm a moving train, I'm BLACK DIAMOND, I'm a young African woman with the grace of God leading me. I am a working progress.

I'M BEVERLY OSU.

Drums of war! Oh, dear, what's happening in Ekiti?

Youths on the rampage in Ado Ekiti on 26 September, 2014, following two days of violence which has already claimed the life of a leading PDP supporter.

A fracas has broken out in Ekiti state after a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti, Chief Omolafe Aderiye, was shot dead by unknown gunmen last night.

The late Aderiye had accompanied Fayose to the High Court complex in Ado-Ekiti  when the governor-elect attended the sitting of the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal. His supporters beat up a judge in the process.

As soon as news of his death got to the inhabitants of the state, supporters of the deceased, who was a former state Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), took to the streets causing mayhem and vandalizing properties.

When contacted, the state police spokesman, Victor Babayemi, gave no comment on the issue.

In a related development, the campaign office of incumbent governor, Kayode Fayemi, is currently ablaze.

The exact cause of the fire remains to be ascertained, although speculation is rife that it may be a retaliation by Fayose's supporters, following the shooting of Aderiye.
Update:  Governor, Kayode Fayemi, has now imposed a dusk-to-dawn curfew on all parts of the state.
"I have taken the decision to institute a dusk to dawn curfew in the state immediately. Accordingly, there would be no movement between the hours of 7.00 p.m. and 7.00 a.m. everyday till further notice," the governor said in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti state capital, while addressing journalists Friday.

He also directed "the Attorney General of the state to issue a legal advisory to the Chief Judge of the state and all the parties to the existing cases in the State High Court and the Ekiti State Governorship Elections Petitions Tribunal, on the desirability of seeking an alternative venue for the hearing of these cases outside Ekiti State."
"The State can no longer afford to witness the bizarre spectacle of the beating up of judicial officers and wanton intimidation of lawyers and court personnel," Mr. Fayemi said.

Kim & Kanye -- Armed Guards & Armored Cars ... After Paris Attack

Culled From:	<TMZ.com

EXCLUSIVE

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are bulletproof -- or will be very soon -- because they're ramping up their personal security -- complete with ARMORED VEHICLES -- after a frightening assault in Paris.

Our Kim and Kanye sources say ... K&K were "freaked out" after Kim was almost tackled to the ground by a crazy man.  They're especially upset because the Paris paparazzi are following them in hordes ... and crowd control has become extremely difficult.

Our sources say ... they've hired 2 additional teams of armed bodyguards who will encircle them whenever they're in public during Fashion Week.

We're told Kim and Kanye will NOT retain the additional security when they come back to the U.S.  They feel Paris has just become too insane for them to handle.

It's pretty ironic ... remember Halle Berry said she wanted to move to Paris because the paparazzi were less aggressive?

Amber Rose Scores More Than a Million Bucks in Prenup

Culled From:	TMZ.com

EXCLUSIVE

Amber Rose will score more than a million bucks from Wiz Khalifa ... based on a long prenup she demanded before getting married ... TMZ has learned.

Sources connected with both Amber and Wiz tell TMZ ... Amber made numerous demands in the prenup ... which is more than 8 pages long. 

TMZ broke the divorce story ... including the fact that Amber wants the prenup enforced. We're told it's because she will get more money in her 1-year-marriage than she would without a prenup.

She does have a problem. According to her legal docs, Amber wants spousal support in addition to her million bucks. Our sources say the prenup specifically denies her the right to spousal support, in return for getting the 1-time payout.

Cheating is IRRELEVANT ... California is a no-fault state and there's no mention of infidelity in the document.

Likewise ... the prenup does not mention custody, and for good reason -- the judge always makes that decision, based on the best interests of the child. Amber is asking for full legal and physical custody.

Ibinabo narrates how she found her new love

Mrs Fiberesima recently started a new relationship after remaining single since her divorce.

In a recent interview, the mother of four who refused to reveal the identity of her man, said she found love in the arms of her University of Ibadan – Nigeria, schoolmate who happens to be an Igbo guy.

"I know I am blossoming but that is what happens when you are in love. I have found my soul-mate, my friend, my brother and that is why I am glowing. It's not that I suddenly found love, the love has been there and we have been best of friends since our school days at University of Ibadan and when we met again years after, we remained best of friends. His kids and mine have always been wondering how both of us can be this close, almost like brother and sister. I think they planned it. They were like why don't you two just get married and we started thinking and after a while, we felt this is God telling us its time and that's it.

I think it was God's will because I just said yes without thinking about it. Everything was just perfect. Perfect timing also. He is an Igbo man. I think the kids planned it more than we did. That's how it is because the day he asked me, his kids were calling and the kids were all abroad while we were in Nigeria so everybody was eager to know my reply. The kids were like daddy have you asked, mine were also calling to say mummy hope you said yes. It was a beautiful moment and everyone was happy."

The beautiful actress also spoke on what she admires about her fiancé:

"He looks after a woman very well. He adores me and he is a family oriented man. He loves his family. He loves us totally and he is committed to his work. He encourages me a lot in what I do and we pray a lot. We have the fear of God which is paramount in our relationship. I think we are heading the right direction and of course with my kind of lifestyle, and the kind of work that I do, every man would withdraw but no, he is always there, giving me the strength, support and ideas to better what I am doing. So I really do admire him. We are getting married in December. The actual date has not been fixed yet but it is specifically in December. Everything is in progress by the grace of God."

Ibinabo describes her fiance as fantastic guy and regarding his looks, she had this to say: "trust me and my taste."

Yvonne Okoro and co attend Lydia Forson’s movie premiere

The frenzy of actors producing their own films is still heating up.

The latest actress to join the club is Lydia Forson who premiered her new movie titled "Letter From Adam" over the weekend.

It was a packed event that had many of her fellow colleagues in attendance.

Check them out below:

BREAKING: Violence rocks Ado-Ekiti, APC secretariat, Gov. Fayemi’s campaign office torched

Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, further descended into chaos Friday morning with rampaging thugs, believed to be loyal to the Peoples Democratic Party [PDP] and the National Union of Road Transport Workers [NURTW] charging around the city and unleashing violence on residents and property.

Already, the campaign office of Governor Kayode Fayemi and the secretariat of the All Progressives Congress, APC, located at the Ajilosun area of the city, have been torched.

Some residents were beaten up and vehicles burnt, witnesses said.

The spokesperson for the Ekiti State command of the police, Olu Babayemi, confirmed the incident, saying the command had poured officers on the streets to contain the situation.

"There was a protest in town but the police have moved in," Mr. Babayemi said."For now, we are trying to restore normalcy and ensure lives and property are secured."

Mr. Babayemi confirmed that the APC secretariat and Mr. Fayemi's campaign office had been vandalised and torched.

The immediate cause of the violent protest is unclear, but the city has been on the edge since Monday when thugs believed to be sympathetic to the PDP stormed a court and attacked the judge, O. Ogunyemi, who was hearing a case concerning the eligibility of Governor-elect, Ayodele Fayose, for the recent governorship election in the state.

The court sitting was disrupted, litigants were beaten while the judge was ferried to safety by police after he was threatened by the militants, the state chief judge explained on Thursday.

On Thursday, another set of political thugs backing Mr. Fayose descended on another court, attacking a judge and other staff.

The assailants attacked Justice John Adeyeye, beating him up and ripping his clothes for being allegedly rude to Mr. Fayose.

The pandemonium that ensued scuttled the Ekiti State Governorship Election petition Tribunal sitting billed for the day at the High court, Ado-Ekiti, as judicial workers abandoned their duty post and ran for safety, witnesses and the state judiciary authority said.

In response to the attacks, the state Chief Judge, A. Daramola, ordered all state courts to remain closed until adequate security measures are in place, according to a statement by Chief Registrar Obafemi Fasanmi.

By Thursday night, a former chairman of the Ekiti state chapter of the NURTW and a core loyalist of Mr. Fayose, Omolafe Aderiye, was reportedly killed.

Mr. Aderiye is believed to have led the thugs who assaulted the judges on Monday and Thursday.

The circumstances of his death remain unclear.

The police said they would not comment on that yet as their immediate priority is restoring calm and order to the Ekiti state capital.
