Jim Iyke reportedly went ahead to call Mrs Dimoko-Korkus, who is living in Germany at the moment and rained expletives on her.
However, the blogger, has decided to reply him back via her blog. And here is her piece unedited.

Full article:
Before i start with this;I know Jim WILL GO AROUND POSTING TRASH as anonymous on where ever this memo comes up but who cares?
You live on the Internet defending yourself on various blogs and posting incoherent babash, cussing out the blog owners remember?Be my guest.
I start this memo by quoting the lyrics from Abolore Akandes(9ice)song where he mentioned the words “baaaaastard”in reference to his ex friend rugged man.
Ikechukwu(Jim my axx) you are exactly what 9ice said,a “baaaaastard”
.
I did an exclusive story that your 11yr old son has surfaced,which is true,abi you wan contest am?
The story went viral and probably spoilt your chances of one of your yahoo-yahoo love scams in Houston where you are as I write this. —and you go gaga?
…And you used your mouth action fingernails to dial my home phone and use the swear words on my family ……to the hearing of my children who are still traumatized,the children you so badly desire to have one day as a human being,the ones you used to refer to as “beautiful’.
You called me “ugly Naughty Lady” and you are so frigging correct,the thing is of all your plenty sisters,I cannot remember anyone of them winning the Most beautiful girl in Nigeria beauty pageant or even Miss world.
Your anger has brought you nothing but bad luck.ask yourself why you have no true friends or why no press man will touch you with a long pole. …go on,ask yourself!
You keep threatening to beat up anyone you enter into your log of bad books and I wonder if you are Superman. Na so you go Cameron them beat you so tey your fingers broke and you cooked up the “falling on a glass table”story.tell it to the cuckoos!
If you ever think of swearing to beat me up because I did an exclusive that you have an 11yr old son who is in existence,I will find you and the day you lay your epileptic hands on me will be the last day you ever try to beat up any woman again!…agbaya go and find your mate to bully!
At your age(you don pass 40yrs abeg)you should be happy of such news but instead you are in Houston running from various one dollar shops to another and after you go spread pics for Internet begging for headlines like “Jim iyke spends trillions on shopping spree”..Na today?
If you read this memo,you are free to leave an anonymous hater comment here or any where else but please delete my numbers from your phone and do not call.
Go and see a shrink doctor and get help for anger management abeg.
You seem to think everyone is envious of you,wetin you get?you freaking parade used cars in your ‘rented’garage in Abuja,I roll a brand new Mercedes,tear rubber!
I know you will read this,so I close with this ‘stellar advice’
“It is only an heediot like you that refuses to see the handwriting on the wall,even when the letters are slapping at your pomo mouth”.
You are a liar,a cheat and you have a wicked wicked heart. if you call me ugly because I kick Bottom with my stories,remember I granted you your first ever interview where you said your then ex (actress stephnora okere) used to beg to be beaten before sex? bollocks!
All the 11years i have been a reporter,i have done nothing but defend your sorry Bottom even when i knew your hands were soiled…that’s what ‘freinds’ are for !
This is a friendly memo,if you push me again, I will get ‘high’ for you and send another one copying the governor of benue state swansan!…..A word is enough for the wise….you ain’t.
I thought the devil was a liar till I became friends with you!…..na you train devil to lie!
The next time you try to set me up again, I will be waiting for you at the trap and I will fix the hook on your shriveled, over used balls!
Remember that I am not Cornell udofia the reporter you messed up/tried to use to mess me up. My name Na ‘sterra’!

“It is a soap opera that will never come” – Goldie denies dating Prezzo

Eccentric pop artiste, Goldie, has come out to declare that there are no strings attached between her and Prezzo. The two had met in this year’s Big Brother Africa house and had struck a peculiar friendship. And for sometime it has been on and off. Prezzo travelled down to Nigeria, where he held a press conference and apologised to Nigerians, for how he treated Goldie in the BBA house.
Goldie also travelled to Kenya after then, before the pair were spotted holidaying together in New York. But she says everything “is a soap opera that will never come”.
“I am not dating Prezzo,” she said. “The state of things between us is the same state of things between me and anyone in Big Brother. We are all friends.
“I didn’t go to Kenya to see him. I went there for an event. People are just assuming there’s something going on between us because we are not speaking. Well, everybody is just working for the soap opera that will never come.”

Blogger Olorisupergal rebrands And launches New Website

Oluwatosin Ajibade, popularly known as Olorisupergal, perhaps it is now time to up the ante in the entertainment circuit as she launches a new entertainment website called Olorisupergal.com The graduate of the department of Accountancy, Lagos State University (LASU) started blogging in February 8, 2010 with the web name Olorisupergal.blogspot.com, a name she has been holding onto till now. The hardworking Ekiti native who claims blogging has been a part of her is one of the known blogging brands in the Nigerian context today.
The new website which takes effect this week will feature impressive segments such as; Supergal Hot Pick of the week for outstanding music videos, Supergal of the month, Awoof (give aways for fans), Super Gal of the week, fashion, interviews, entertainment gist among other segments.
Speaking on this new height, Tosin Ajibade (Olorisupergal) said ‘’I am changing because I want to do more as the blogspot.com limits you in many ways as it does not allow for various segments. I am also doing this because I want more people to take me seriously for instance, corporate brands want to associate with websites that are very credible and reliable, sites that have excellent service delivery in terms of the quality and reliability of the information disseminated via their website’’.
When asked about what informed her choice of segments on her dot.com website, she said ‘’under the new website, olorisupergal.com there would be segments such as job of the week; job seekers can check job listings available for the week. There would also be the music pick of the week, Awoof segment where there would be give away for fans, there would also be fashion news, interviews with entertainment people whose lives we all envy amongst others. All these segments have been designed to make the site unique in all sense of the word’’.

10 Lag buses seized in Ota, after Fashola impounds vehicles from Obasanjo’s farms

Since last weekend, about 10 LAG buses belonging to the Lagos State Government have been impounded in Ota, Ogun State and packed in Obasanjo Farms in retaliation over the confiscation of a utility vehicle last Friday belonging to Obasanjo Farms owned by the former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo. THE CITIZEN gathered that the vehicle belonging to Obasanjo Farms was seized by the officials of Lagos State Transport Management Agency (LASTMA) for contravening traffic law and after Obasanjo’s efforts failed to get the vehicle released, his company allegedly instigated some miscreants to forcefully seize over 10 LAG buses that crossed the Lagos-Ogun boundary in Ota.
THE CITIZEN was reliably informed that the Governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Fashola turned down Obasanjo’s pleas for the release of his vehicle but instead advised him that his company should obey the law.
It was also gathered that following the alleged seizure of the LAG buses, the management of the bus company has halted all further operations to Ota axis until further notice.
However, efforts to reach LAGBUS Managing Director, Mr. Babatunde Disu proved abortive.

Nollywood made real: “He impregnated me and collected my N2m” – Lover accuses Yoruba actor

 

Whenever you see two lovers wash their dirty linens in public, things must have fallen apart to the point of ‘irreconcilable differences’. This may best explain what is now brewing between handsome Yoruba actor, Oreoluwa Jokotoye popularly known as Bigvai and his embittered lover, Bukola Temitope Ajayi. According to a distressed blackberry broadcast message sent by the handsome actor on Sunday night, he alleged that his lover is after his life and that she allegedly duped some of his (Bigvai) colleagues in the industry of their hard-earn money worth over 1.5million naira.
The blackberry broadcast from Bigvai read: “Bigvai Oreoluwa Jokotoye is my name. Pls, dis is 2 tell my friends, fans, colleagues and evry other Nigerians out there that I am not married 2 Bukola Temitope Ajayi. That she has duped my blood sister a sum of 500,000. Antar Laniyan 170, Abbey Lanre 240,000. Sunny Alli 130,000. Lola Idije 120,000 and other people whch include Lanre Hassan (Iya Awero), Ireti Osayemi, Juwon, Alhaji Adenrele and other crew members.
“She also stole 150,000 from me, she duped Bayo Tijani and his crew too. and she has vowed to kill me by sending assassin 2 me.
“Incase anything happens 2 me, she’s responsible oo. U can check my dp 4 her pix. Am appealing 2 u all 2 help me rebroadcast as fast as possible. Tanx.”
But in a reaction to the blackberry broadcast sent out by Bigvai, Bukola denied ever threatening his life. She claimed that Bigvai has been depending on him to survive. She denied duping those the actor alleged her to have defrauded, but claimed that after giving Bigvai the sum of two million naira to do a movie, a romantic relationship started between them.
Her own blackberry broadcast read: “My‎‎‎ name is Ajayi Oluwabukola Temitope. It’s a big lie, i didn’t dupe Bigvai sister in anyway. I came to produce (a movie) and Bigvai Oreoluwa Jokotoye collected the sum of 2million naira from me and he promise to help me out. Along the line, we started dating. During the Itunu Awe, Baba Tee, Sodiq Adebayo came to pack everything in his house and i used my money to buy it back. I av bin feeding him for the past 3mnth now. I am even preganant for him now, but all what he want is my ‎‎moni.
“If u guys notice, I am the one dat changed all his wardrobe for (him). He even said it dat wen he was with Adebayo Salami (Oga Bello) dat Oga Bello was using his star dat was why he left him. I did(nt) dupe anybdy. Oreoluwa Bigvai Jokotoye is a gold digger nd he depends on woman. I (he) stole my ‎guds what (worth) 350k away. I nvr told him I’ll kill him. What is my‎ gain if i kill him? Can his dead body bring back my moni, talkless (let alone) he being alive. I think he has metal pblm. I av hard diff story abt the way he dupe girls industry, lyk Habibat Jinad, Shai, BJ, Tola Ayeni etc. plssssss am nt a killer ooooooo. plsssss help me to rebroadcast.”
When contacted, Bigvai insisted that his BB broadcast was true. Asked if truly Bukola is three months pregnant for him, he said he has not yet received any medical report from the doctors concerning that.
When asked if he indeed had a romantic affair with Bukky, he stuttered and said he would not want to talk about the issue anymore because he wouldn’t want the press to get involved in it.
The drama continues..

Wizkid to work with Godwin Tom, MI Abaga’s former manager

A few weeks ago, we reported that pop star Wizkid and manager Osagie Osarenkhoe parted ways. We’ve got news for you – the pop star may have hired popular manager Godwin Tom.
Wiz and Osarenkhoe, who runs her own outfit M.e.tal Management, ended their business relationship in June 2012, and we’re told Wizzy has been without a manager since then.
Meanwhile, Wizzy’s label EME also recently announced that they are ‘currently seeking for a General Manager to manage its growing business and build up the EME label.’
Godwin seems like the likely replacement, having handled M.I, in whose career he played a vital role, and rapper duo Show Dem Camp. He also had a stint with singer Airis and is currently part of singer Waje‘s management team.
Inside sources tell us that Godwin hasn’t signed any contracts, as he will be on probation for now.
Meanwhile, Mr Tom said ’I’ve seen the news and there’s a lot of speculation. There has been no announcement of such so let’s just leave it at that for now‘. But going by his words on social network Twitter, Godwin seems to be excited about the new role.
‘Things are coming together… I am doing what I love… What Im good at. I dont regret being who I am! I am the best me! I dont regret one bit of my last 5+ years. They were the best. And best is relative… Things are about to get better!‘ he tweeted.

“They’re ecstatic and over the moon!” – Adele ‘gives birth to a baby boy’

Follow@ebonychic4life

Adele has reportedly given birth to a baby boy.  New reports claim that the 24-year-old singer and partner Simon Konecki welcomed their child on Friday night. She is said to be ‘ecstatic’ by the baby’s arrival.

A source is quoted as saying: ‘Adele and Simon are ecstatic at their new arrival.  ’She was over the moon that they were expecting their first child together.’

Her spokesman said of Friday night’s reported birth: ‘We are not releasing a statement at this time. No comment.’

Adele announced her pregnancy back in June, writing on her official blog: ‘I’m delighted to announce that Simon and I are expecting our first child together.

‘I wanted you to hear the news direct from me, obviously we’re over the moon and very excited but please respect our privacy at this precious time. Yours always, Adele xx’

Adele and Simon started dating last summer and moved in together earlier this year. Simon also has a five-year-old daughter with his ex-wife Clary Fisher.

She has said of Simon in the past: ‘He looks after me. I don’t think I’d have got through the recovery from surgery if not for him.’

Our Feet Are Getting Bigger,Research Shows

Follow@ebonychic4life

According to a new report by the National Shoe Retailers Association,Our shoes aren’t getting smaller, the average woman’s foot has grown by more than a size over the last three decades.

Increased nutrition for people in the western world (as has access to high-calorie junk food),have caused an increase in body sizes.It is something that is almost going global and not in the United States alone.

For example,at the beginning of the 20th century the average woman wore a size 3.5 or size 4 shoe. This increased to a 5.5 in the forties and remained this way till the 60s. By the 1970s, the average female foot was a 7.5 and now, forty years later, the most common foot size for the American female is somewhere between an 8 ½ and a 9.

Women are yet to arrive at this realization and still buy smaller shoe sizes out of embarrassment, which can result in foot pain and injuries.

Nevertheless, people will have to learn how to live with the bodies they were born with; few women, we’d imagine, would want to go back to traditions like the excruciatingly painful foot binding of imperial China

“My husband is not married to anyone else” – Funke Akindele clears the air

Follow@ebonychic4life

Nollywood screen goddess and one of the most highly rated Nigerian star actress, Funke Akindele knows she might have to set the records straight sooner or later. “My huband has never been married,” she insists in response to much of the hearsay about her marriage to Almaroof.

“I am the woman he got married to. I was married properly. Alot of negative comments came from sadists who want to run their mouths. So because I am a Youth Ambassador or Celebrity, I can’t have my life?” she asks rhetorically.

It is my life. If I do things because people want me to, I will end up unhappy. I do what I do because I want to be happy. I would still continue to teach morals and campaign against HIV/AIDS and enlighten the youths. It doesn’t make me bad; that is even if it is, because I can tell you authoritatively that my husband is not married to anyone else.

Yes, he has beautiful children, who are not mine now and we have a cordial relationship, which dates back to even before we got married. ‘So what if he has kids? Is that a disease? That is where my heart is! I had many non-biological children even before I got married. I take them as my own children, pay their bills and help them. I have always loved children. So now that God has given me these ones, what should I do?

Will people be happier if I had married someone who didn’t have children, seem so perfect, put on my make-p and fake smile on the red carpet and start weeping when I get home?’ She queries a deadpan ton.

And about my in-laws, they are very wonderful and supportive and my parents and siblings as well.

The flood, currently ravaging through the nation has displaced over 100,000 families, leaving a lot of people homeless and without any business to keep them afloat. Our Nigerian stars went down to distribute relief supplies, as well as utilize their celebrity influence and raise more awareness to this ongoing natural disaster.

 

The Reach Out Initiative, a program kick-started by the stars themselves will be utilized to get a lot more people involved, both within and outside the country in donating help, either through relief supplies or financial donations.

Genevieve: “This is just the beginning, as our country has never experienced anything like this. The government is doing the best they can, but we as citizens, can also partake in helping the situation in the best way we can. The plan is to get more people involved, and visit more relief camps in the affected states.”
