Keturah Hamilton Dumps Jim Iyke.

The new trend in the Nigerian entertainment industry is reality shows. First it was Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde with Omotola, The Real Me; and now, “Nollywood bad boy,” Jim Iyke, with Jim Iyke Unscripted.
Unscripted, which is jointly produced by Africa Magic and Oh Africa TV, premiered on Wednesday, April 17 on DSTV. The first episode, in a stunning climax, featured Jim’s fiancée, Keturah Hamilton, dressing him down for his wandering eye.

However, in a strange real-life twist that no one saw coming, Keturah issued a statement via her publicist in which she announced not only the dissolution of her engagement with the actor but also that her behaviour on the show was just Hollywood-level acting.

"Keturah Hamilton had acted out an edgy script of jealousy and rage towards Jim Iyke, that was delivered as well as any actress in Hollywood. Keturah was so good that even her fans were astonished to see how well she acted and was able to challenge Jim on his bad behavior. Boldly, Jim gave Keturah the opportunity to exit the reality show based on the controversial episode. Even though a pre-recorded version of “Kiss and Make-up” was on stand-by to be aired, Keturah already had made her decision,” the statement read.

Before Keturah’s announcement rumours already had it that Jim Iyke was stepping out with Ghanaian actress, Nadia Buhari. Rumours, which both actors have denied. As for Keturah, according to her publicist, she has since moved on “to bigger and better things.”

“I wish Jim well on his show and hope that he matures into the man I always wanted him to be!” Keturah said in the statement.

The reality “actress” will now star in a new reality show, Diamonds in the Rough.

N4.5 Billion Yacht Hotel Disappears.

The controversial N4.5 billion Sunborn Yacht Hotel brought from England and moored on the Lagos waters for over four years, has finally disappeared from the state after the controversies surrounding its ownership continued to mount unabated. It will be recalled that the custom built yacht with 102 elegant suites, arrived the Lagos waters in November, 2008, and instantly became a cynosure of all eyes.

The yacht, expected to serve as a four star hotel, was, however, bedeviled by controversies since its arrival which led to it abandonment and subsequent rusting away on the water ways. When Vanguard visited the quay by the Army Officers’ Mess at Marina, Lagos Island local government area, there was no sign that such expensive and eye catching structure ever berthed there. Enquiries from the state government and even residents of the state yielded no result as no one could say specifically what happened to the multi-purpose built yacht that moored on the state water for over four years. Commissioner for Tourism, Mr. Oladisun Holloway, when asked to comment on the development, denied the state government’s knowledge of the where about of the supposed ‘first African luxury hotel on water’.

According to Holloway; “As citizens of the state can’t find it, so is the state government also. The government can’t say precisely where the Yacht is berthed at present.” The Commissioner reiterated that the state government doesn’t have any commitment in the Yacht. And I don’t know why the residents of the state should be interested in the whereabouts of the Sunborn Yacht. The four-star hotel, originally owned by the City of London, was conceptualised as a leisure and business centre to service the higher echelon of Lagos society. Mr. John Smart, a boat operator, said he could not say accurately the whereabouts of the four storey multi-purpose built yacht, since its removal last month.

According to Smart; “I cannot say the date when it was removed but all we saw on one fateful day was a large number of people who crowded the Sunborn Yacht and towed it away with another ship. They didn’t inform anyone where they will be taking the yacht to and since then, we are yet to see it.”

Where is the Sunborn Yacht Hotel and who is behind the deal???

Lagos Magic!!!.

Globacom Nigeria To Expand Phone Network With $1.25 Billion.

Nigeria’s second- biggest mobile phone provider, Globacom Ltd., said it’s investing $1.25 billion to upgrade and expand its network infrastructure to improve voice and data services.

The Lagos-based company signed a $750 million pact with China’s Huawei Technologies Co. and another $500 million accord with ZTE Corp. (000063), also of China, according to an e-mailed statement today from Bode Opeseyitan, a spokesman.

“With the planned expansion, Globacom’s network capacity will increase in many folds, thus enabling it to carry high level of data in addition to other improvements in voice services,” Chief Operating Officer Mohammed Jameel said in the statement.

Nigerian mobile phone operators are investing in their networks to overcome frequent power cuts and the sabotage of facilities in the country’s mainly Muslim north, where Islamist militants target telecommunications companies for helping the authorities to track them. MTN Nigerian Communication Ltd., a unit of Johannesburg-based MTN Group Ltd. (MTN) and the country’s biggest mobile phone provider, said last week it got a $3 billion loan from a group of 24 local and foreign lenders to upgrade infrastructure.

Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation with more than 160 million people, had about 117 million active mobile and fixed phone lines as of February, according to the industry regulator, the Nigeria Communications Commission. Globacom is the second- biggest network with 24 million subscribers as of the end of last year, according to data on the NCC’s website...

Like Most Married Men, I Have Cheated On My Wife - Femi Fani-Kayode.

"I am not an angel. Like most married men I have made mistakes in the past and I have let down my wife on a number of occasions. Yet despite that I never stopped loving her.

I never considered the possibility of leaving my wife though on many occasions she almost left me.

A lot of men think it’s a sign of virility for them to have many extra-marital affairs but I see it as failure.

It is shameful and nothing to be proud of. It wounds the soul and brings so much pain that it is just not worth it.

Most men have the ability to guard their hearts and they believe that the more women you sleep with the stronger and better you are. I don't believe that. I am a romantic and people like me often get hurt and wounded when they make the wrong choices."

Former minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode is currently married to his 3rd wife, Regina after his 2 previous marriages to Saratu Atta and Yemisi Adeniji crashed...

Touching right? Have you ever cheated on your spouse???

Indian Creates First Ever Smartphone For The Blind.

For the first time ever, a team of researchers in India have created a Smartphone prototype for the visually impaired people. It took about three years for the innovators to create this masterpiece which converts all the texts into the Braille patterns. This new invention would enable and help the blind people to read SMSes and even emails on the phone, reports Times Of India.

Sumit Dagar, innovator of this first of its kind Smartphone was very pleased with its success has told, “We have created the world’s first Braille smartphone, this product is based on an innovative ‘touch screen’ which is capable of elevating and depressing the contents it receives to transform them into ‘touchable’ patterns.” He also added, “The response during the test has been immense. It comes out as a companion more than a phone to the user. We plan to do more advanced versions of the phone in the future.”

The innovative Smartphone would use Shape Memory Alloy Technology; it is based on the concept that metal should retain its original shape after its expansion and contraction. The grid has a Braille display making the phone’s screen with grid pins which represents a character or letter. So when the user receives an incoming text the little pins elevates or depress and gets auto translated in Braille, thereby enabling the visually impaired people to understand the text message.

Earlier, there was no actual Braille interface available on Smartphones. There were a couple of cool apps which did impressive things like reading the text loud, determine the denomination of currency and others which in turn made Braille unnecessary for some tasks.

However, it is not clear on what operating system the phone would run on, which the inventors should decide on. The company is currently being incubated at the Centre for Innovation Incubation and Entrepreneurship, located in IIM Ahmedabad campus.

The team led by Sumit Dagar, expects to launch this new innovative Smartphone by end of 2013 and may put a price tag around 10,000 or as per Indian market conditions...
