General Ibrahim Babangida Set To Star In New Kunle Afolayan Movie?

                       

What Nigerian can forget General Ibrahim Babangida, the gap-toothed General who ruled Nigeria with an iron fist for 8 years?

Apparently not Kunle Afolayan. The celebrated film-maker was pictured chatting with the retired General at his residence for what could be surmised to be a forthcoming project for Kunle which lead us to wonder, is the General set to make a movie debut or is he a subject for a Kunle Afolayan movie?

Kunle Afolayan is the brain behind such hit movies as The Figurine, Irapada and most recently, the yet-to-be-released October 1 and from the look of things, Kunle is set to deliver yet another block buster, perhaps one with IBB in a leading role...or not.

We'll certainly keep you posted on this.

Actress Chika Ike Recieves Blasts For Having A Chef

   

Women are generally expected to be homely, cook, hardworking and submissive to their spouse whenever and however. Cooking is one important feature of a good wife as such many girls take this part of their life seriously. 

Nollywood actress Chika Ike shocked her fans when she posted a picture of herself doing a grocery shopping by herself and captioned it “My Chef is on leave, I had to do the grocery shopping. I am making dinner now. Who wants to help????”

Her fans who she expected to volunteer to help, blasted her and asked her what she uses a chef for and why she can’t cook herself. The pretty actress who divorced her husband few years ago received a lot of controversial comments because of her caption, while some thinks there is nothing bad in trying to get help when one is very busy and have a tight schedule. 

The question that comes to people’s mind is that does a big girl cook? They feel they have the money and don’t have time to do the kitchen stuffs anymore as they were trained while growing up. What do you think?

Well, we didn't see this one coming . . . Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are reportedly selling their $11 million Bel Air, CA, mansion. A quick turnaround considering they're not even done with the renovations. Purchased last year - before their epic wedding - the couple has been gutting the property ever since in hopes of building their very own 14,000-square-foot dream home.
