GUESS WHO IS BACK IN TOWN 2 ?

You all don't need to think for too long. It's none other than Chalya Shagaya. The gorgeous Stylist of note, who at a point while in Nigeria was a staff of Oando and had left Nigeria quite suddenly several years ago, many had come up with many excuses on why they thought she relocated, but Chalya herself had kept mum all throughout, and had gone on to work with several celebrities in the United States doing what she knows best; STYLING.


Just as quietly has she left the country for a sojourn abroad several years ago, the gorgeous daughter of top retired Military Brass-Brigadier General John Nanzip Shagaya, who later became a Senator, has quietly returned back to the country.

She is presently in the tourist capital of the U.A.E- Dubai where she's working on a top secret project for an A-class company.

SAD SAD DAY YESTERDAY AS ROBBERS STRUCK AT GTBANK SABO, SAGAMU

It's a day many would not forget for as long as they live, when terrifying looking men of the underworld struck in broad daylight at a branch of GTBank, Sabo, Sagamu in Ogun State yesterday November 24, 2011. Carting away a substantial amount of money, value of which has not been fully ascertained and in the wake of the dare-devil attack they left pain, anguish and irreparable sorrow.

The heavily armed robbers were said to announced themselves early yesterday morning by shooting sporadically into the air to scare all and sundry and caused commotion, in the pandemonium that ensured, they had easy access to the bank, and carted away a yet to be disclosed, but thought to be large amount of money and other valuables they could lay hands on. In the aftermath, several of the bank staffs were said to have been injured, several fatality was recorded in their bid to escape, unconfirmed report says about 10 people made up of vigilantes and bystanders were killed by stray bullets.

Curiously, we hear that apart from the fact that the money stolen and other valuables were INSURED, the staff members whose lives are constantly online in the course of their jobs do not enjoy the same privilege! .  We tried getting the response of the GTBank spokesperson-Ogechi Nwachukwu on the development, but she didn't respond to our enquiry.

RIP-LEYE BALOGUN

We also heard that the same rampaging marauders after escaping the scene of their dastardly act in order to escape from the Police detoured through Isara and came out through Konigbe Junction on Mini-Campus road (Olabisi Onabanjo University), and went on rampage again robbing the OOU Community Bank located along that road, in order to escape from that particular scene , they let loose several rounds of ammunition which caused pandemonium in that area, one of the confirmed casualties recorded of that particular incidence was a 400 Level student of the department of Chemical Science, who was supposed to submit his final year project today November 25,2011. Leye Balogun was said to have just come of the bathroom still in his towel, when he was hit by a stray bullet on his right side, he was later rushed to about 3 hospitals-Fountain Hospital, Ijesha road, OOU Health Center Mini-Campus road & later Ijebu-Ode General Hospital, where he was confirmed dead.

 There seems to be the air of palpable fear in Ogun State right now, as robbers seem to be having a field day, just recently rampaging robbers entered the main campus of the Olabisi Onabanjo University in Ogun State, robbing 5 of the banks inside the campus of very large amount of money, wounding many and several unconfirmed number of people ( some say about 3 score and 10 people), were said to have met their untimely death. Robbers were also said to have robbed the Wema Bank branch inside Babcock University,Ilisan, Ogun State about 2 weeks ago.

What is going on?????????

FOLAKE MAJIN AND DAUGHTERS STAGE FASHION SHOW

Fashion designer Folake Majin is set to unveil “The Royal collection” alongside “The Breathless Experience” Collection by Miss Majin and “The Circle Revolution Collection” by GM4FM’s Gogo Majin

The ‘strictly by invitation’ event will be showcased at the Civic Center on Sunday the 20th of November starting from 6pm.

In 1988, Folake Majin’s “Schon Arik” label stepped on to the then very young fashion industry in Nigeria with pieces that instantly caught on with women because they were created to be visually stunning and distinctive while paying painstaking attention to detail.

More than two decades later she remains a pioneer fashion designer and a leader in the fashion industry with an ever growing clientele. She has also inspired and mentored several young designers who have come into their own success learning and gleaning from her vast industry experience.

The event which features Miss Majin and Gogo Majin, Folake Majin’s daughters will also feature performances from A-list artistes

The Fashion show will have three segments, with three different collections from the Folake Majin brand, Miss Majin brand and the GM4FM (Gogo Majin For Folake Majin) brand.

 “The Breathless Experience Collection is a perfect combination, a combination of moving art and sound” Miss Majin says

Folake Majin’s daughter, Gogo Majin, designer for GM4FM speaks about her collection – “My inspiration for the collection came from an accessory that has been made and used by my mom for her clients for more than a decade on many of her haute couture designs. I took that accessory and built the whole collection around it”.

The GM4FM is showing for the first time. The label was launched on the 13th of august 2011.

She continues “.For Sunday please expect a different spin to a fashion show. Expect original visually stunning clothes and breathe taking pieces. A show to remember”

 For Folake Majin the end result to the creative process must be breathtakingly beautiful clothes using fabrics such as African print, Aso Oke, silks, Chantilly laces etc.

Often referred to as "The designer to the First ladies" Folake Majin has built a strong and loyal clientele (including several first ladies of Nigeria, television personalities, business women, senators, housewives and beauty queens) over the more than two decades since she started the label due to her creativity and drive

The show is headlined by Folake Majin and features Miss Majin and GM4FM.

The event is powered by MTN and also sponsored by Bank of Industry, Beat & Classic FM and Channels TV.

4 CAUGHT IN THE ACT!!!!!!!!!!

For the sake of decency, we have decided not to publish the pictures the way we got it and have decided to cover all the vitals and even part of their faces. We are quite sure you are still wondering what we might be on about.

Lastnite we got a picture, that showed 4 supposedly young, Nigerian undergraduates, said to be students of a Federal University in a state in the middle belt part of Nigeria. We are quite sure you are still wondering what could have been so outrageous about the 4 students! The 4 were supposedly caught while engrossed, excitingly devouring each other’s erogenous zones in erotic bliss, so far gone in the act were they, that they didn't know when someone walked in, in shock at the scene before her, the unwelcome intruder raised an alarm which attracted other students and the 4 ladies were paraded shame-faced before all in the NUDE!!.


We have had to debate if under the law, that the action taken by their other colleagues was right, some have had to say that ''the ladies human rights were grossly violated, that under the law, they all have the right to do what pleases them, many even went as far as saying that to each his/her own. Whatever it is that gets you excited is your right.

Others who are advocates of Morals are in the opposite, many are of the opinion that lesbianism is a dirty act that God frowns on, and so they feel that the right judgment was meted on the 4.

On which side of the divide are you ? What's your candid opinion?

AMA & POJU'S WEDDING

POJU AND AMA

By popular demand we had to do everything possible to get some pictures from the Nuptial ceremony that later became an anti-climax. Many had expected a lot of fanfare as Ama the daughter of the former highest ranking diplomat in the world - her dad was the former UN secretary General-Kofi Annan; was getting married, many had thought many top government functionaries, past and present heads of government and many other celebrities would attend the wedding ceremony. But alas!, the only celebrities in attendance at the wedding in Ghana, were many socialite friends of the bride. In all it was a very understated ceremony, that some even thought was a bit too understated.

Apparently it was just a Poju & Ama thing, with a few friends and family members. Not for them ,all the paparazzi etc.
