Flavour expecting 1st child with ex-beauty queen, Sandra Okagbue

I heard this gist many weeks back but I wanted to be sure it's true before bringing it here and I've finally confirmed from a very reliable source...with some details I can't even share here...:-). So yes, Flavour Nababia is expecting his first child with ex-Delta soap queen and model, Sandra Okagbue.



Sandra, who was once linked to Mikel Obi, left Nigeria for the US in June, and is expected to give birth some time this month.



The hot couple started dating last year and showed they were really smitten when they started using each others photos on their DPs. When I asked someone close the Flavour if there was marriage in the cards for the singer and beauty queen, he said no.

"The last thing on Flavour's mind right now is marriage. She said he's responsible for the pregnancy and Flavour has accepted it but as for marriage, don't hold your breath"

Happy New Month, People!

Hey you, yes you!

You better get to living life to the fullest

You better get to learning to love yourself unconditionally because you're worth it.

You better get to giving all you have to those who deserve it. And don't forget to throw in a little forgiveness to those who hurt you and loving those who love you.

You better get to showing a bit more concern about where you're going in life.

You better don't sweat the small stuff and keep your chin up when times are tough

And if it gets too rough, fall on your knees and talk to the Man above.



Happy New Month to you and yours. May all your dreams come true!

'I had a huge crush on Genevieve, I never dated Rita Dominic' - Banky W

In an interview on YNaija's RubbinMinds programme this afternoon, Banky W opened up about his relationship status, people he's had crushes on and girls he's never dated. See all that after the cut...

Banky admitted that he had a huge on Genevieve and tried to pursue her but it didn't work out,

"I tried but Genevieve is Genevieve. I had a big crush on her at one point but now we are really cool friends" he said

Banky also revealed he had a huge crush on singer Niyola when he first came back to Nigeria to pursue his music career but didn't go after her because she was in an on/off relationship and when she became single, he'd already signed her to his record label and had assumed a big brother role in her life. The crush died he said.



Asked if he is under any pressure to get married, Banky W said;

"I think that there is a certain pressure that society brings and probably even more so the Nigerian society. So like your parents, once you graduate they start asking when you are going to get married so you can get me grand children...so its just the mentality but I think its probably an unhealthy obsession with weddings and probably not as great an obsession with healthy marriages and for me its like who you get married to or when you get married is one of the major decisions that you can make. So its wiser that you do it when you are sure that you are ready and you have found the person that you want to do it with and so on and so forth rather than succumb to whatever pressure or whatever it is because nobody is going to live that life with you. Nobody is going to wake up with the person for the rest of your life. So I dont believe in that and I think my parents know me well enough to not....they know I don't respond to such things. So do I look forward to getting married? Absolutely but when the person and the time is right. I have friend who I went to school with who got married and are now divorced and I don't want that to be my story so I would rather wait, find the person, make myself right, make the person right and so on and so forth and do it right one time rather than try and fail and be married for 72 days" he said

Banky W revealed that he will be taking 2 and a half months off the music scene to pursue a course in directing/film-making in New York in September.

Do you agree that Kim K and Beyonce have revolutionized our generation's view of what beautiful is?

Speaking with Access Hollywood last week, actress and singer Demi Lovato, 22, said Kim K and Beyoncé's famous curves have helped refine beauty and made a whole generation of women see it is not all about being skinny, making it easier for women these days to accept and embrace their full figures.

"When I was growing up and when I was a pre-teen, the people that I had to look up to for body image were extremely underweight. They were all very bony at that time and that was the in thing. But now I'm glad I have curves and role models to look up to that also have curvaceous physiques.

'I really credit women like Beyoncé and Kim Kardashian, they completely revolutionized what our generation's view of perception of what beautiful is and I really think that they had a huge impact on that." Demi said. You agree?

Photos: Child labour - Young girl made to wash truck everyday

Child abuse is not only when you hit a child, giving them hard labour is also part of child abuse. And I consider asking a young girl to wash a truck this big every day as hard labour.



According to a LIB reader, one of her neighbours makes a young girl who lives with them who she says is between 12-15 years, to wash their truck either at night or in the morning...every single day. She says passersby only watch and complain but nobody has done anything about it. They believe her life is at risk because she tries to manage her space as other vehicles pass. This is happening at No. 9 Kings Avenue, Ben Mill Road, Ogodu Berger, in case the authorities want to look into it.



Or are there people who think this is OK? See more photos after the cut...

Ebola: Fmr President Obasanjo expresses thoughts on late Sawyer

Former president Obasanjo has expressed his thoughts on Sawyer, his act and those who made it possible for him to enter Nigeria with the disease and spread it. Speaking at an event held at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta, Ogun state today, Obasanjo said;

"It is devilish enough Patrick Sawyer had to spread this and indeed spread it to Nigeria in connivance with some Liberian authorities from his country, because they knew he had it before he came to Nigeria. The EVD has started to take its toll on the country and the West African sub region. The toll is not only on the number of those who are ill or dead but on the communities, countries, regions and sub-region"
