2face Idibia, others, in near crash as Aero aborts flight after take-off
Passengers on an Aero Contractors flight received a scare after the door of the aircraft they were flying in reportedly came open mid-flight.
The Cameroon bound flight, which reportedly had musician, 2face on board, was turned back to a Lagos 30 minutes into the journey after it was discovered that a door was unlocked.
The AJ2002 was expected to fly from Lagos to Douala, Cameroon’s largest city, today.
Nigerian Eye reports:
An angry passenger who does not want his name mentioned said that passengers had finished taking their refreshment onboard the small aircraft when a signal came that a door was not locked and they should return to Lagos.
“Remember that small plane you guys used that day to Douala, Aero? Hmm! We left Lagos with it and like 30 minutes later on air, after all the refreshments. I had finished eating and then announcement came in that there’s a signal that the door is open somewhere.
” That it is required we return to Lagos. Returning to Lagos was hell. Plane flew so low and that’s how we managed back.
“For 40 minutes, they said we should wait in plane and 20 minutes later they said we should descend. We are back to boarding room now. Thank God.
“Even 2Face was in the flight and has left to the VIP lounge now. That is my story for today. They said a new plane is coming, and so, we are waiting till 4pm for it.
“That aircraft should not be allowed to fly,” he said.

Jacobs fashion show during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Fall 2014 at the

“Its a fashion show. She doesn’t choose! #Clueless,” Kardashian wrote to a fan who said Jenner doesn’t “need to dress like that.”
“She’s too dope for you 2 understand! Yall would trade places with her in a second! The hate is real! Lol bye haters! #ModelLife #Simple,” she continued.

The newly single starlet didn’t stop there by adding,” Basic b—hes NOT wanted.”Don’t mess with Khloe Kardashian! The proud older sis defended Kendall Jenner against Twitter haters.
Kardashian did back pedal a little with a half-hearted apology to her over nine million followers.
“Oops I keep forgetting I’m supposed to be on my “don’t sweat the small stuff” ish…. But I just can’t pass up a good rant #SorryNotSorry.”
Jenner was barely recognizable for her high fashion runway strut wearing a short wig, pale make up and bleached eyebrows.
Even people backstage at the show couldn’t identify the “Keeping Up with the Kardashian” star.
“Quote of the day from @KendallJenner backstage at Marc Jacobs – ‘one of the models just told me Kendall Jenner was in the show,’” LOVE magazine tweeted Thursday.

The Tiv, Idoma and Benue State governorship
North
Central’s most populous state, Benue, was carved out of the then
Benue-Plateau State on February 03, 1976 by Gen. Murtala Muhammed. The
state has since then produced several civilian governors, military
governors and administrators. The number of such state leaders is 15 at
the time of writing this piece. The past leaders include; Col. Abdullahi
Shelleng (February 03, 1976 to July 31, 1978); Group Capt. Adebayo
Lawal (July 31, 1978 to September 30, 1979); Mr. Aper Aku (October 01,
1979 to December 31, 1983); Brig. Gen. Atom Kpera (January 04, 1984 to
August 28, 1985); Group. Capt. Jonah Jang (August 28, 1985 to September
05, 1986); Col. Yohanna Madaki (September 05 to 25, 1986); Col. Ishaya
Bakut (September 25, 1986 to July 22 1987); Col. Idris Garba (July 22,
1987 to July 22, 1988); Lt. Col. Fidelis Makka (July 22, 1988 to January
01, 1992); Rev. Fr. Moses Adasu (January 02, 1992 to November 17,
1993); Group Capt. Joshua Obademi (November 17, 1993 to August 22,
1996); Col. Aminu Kontagora (August 22, 1996 to August 10, 1998); Col.
Dominic Oneya (August 10, 1998 to May 29, 1999); Mr. George Akume (May
29, 1999 to May 29, 2007) and Rt. Hon. Gabriel Suswam (May 29, 2007 to
date).
The Tiv people of Benue are found in
Benue East and Benue West senatorial districts while Idoma and Igede are
in Benue South Senatorial District. In government, issues bordering on
sharing of positions in the state between the Tiv and Idoma sometimes do
crop up, but it’s always resolved amicably. I will be quick to remind
the Idoma who have continued to complain that they are being
marginalised by Tiv to think deep and right. They should not expect to
be at par or above the Tiv people in government because the Tiv people
are 72 per cent of Benue population while the Idoma are less than 28 per
cent. Also, some Idoma people holding appointments and positions at the
federal level have allegedly been diverting opportunities meant for the
Tiv to the Idoma on annual basis since 1999. The Idoma beneficiaries
through clever means often go with over 90 per cent of opportunities
allocated to Benue State. I wonder why they would continue in such acts
and at the same time be crying foul in Benue State.
The Tiv people can and will always use
their voting population to determine who governs Benue State. However,
now that Benue South is still part of Benue State, when the Idoma desist
from the above-stated acts and eventually Tiv, the second largest
ethnic group in both Taraba and Nasarawa states next to Mumuye and Eggon
respectively, produce the Governors of those states, then Idoma, the
next to Tiv in Benue can also produce the Governor. Otherwise, the
status quo should be maintained.

Tribute To A Lost FriendRead Derenle Edun's Tribute To Late Goldie Harvey
Friends in life, Derenle hasn't gotten over Goldie's passing
A year ago Nigerian music star, Goldie passed on at a tender age. Her best friend and confidant – Denrele Edun
was with her up to her last moments when she breathed her last.
Yesterday, at the first anniversary of her passing, he shares his
tribute with us all.
READ
“A friend who dies………it’s something of you who dies.
Trying to figure out what to write today has been one of the most draining and difficult things I’ve ever had to do and what I realized is that these mechanisms of my body, mind and language are too ill-equipped to portray with justice the gravity of the loss that I feel.
Goldie Harvey was my soul mate. Everything about Goldie was unique. Everything about Goldie was complex. She wasn’t only beautiful, she was so captivatingly beautiful in and out that no eye could avoid her, and once she had hooked you with her charming innocence, you were blown away by a beauty that was at once shy and confident, sultry and innocent, inviting and biting and as such, I always described her as a Siren of Sorts!
I used to tell my friends, “Wait until you meet my personal person Goldie, you go love am die.” And I was never proven wrong. We have all been in love with Goldie Harvey.
When I met her, I was blown away by the bizarre and beautiful world that was wrapped up in this tiny whimsical creature.
It was sometime in early 2006; I got a call from a certain Bimpe who wanted to shoot two musical videos in a row. (At that time, I had featured in D’banj’s “Why Me” and was already crowned with the invisible sash of “Most-Sought-After-Video-Vixen” as every artiste believed a cameo appearance from me would not only boost the ratings of the vid but also garner enough airplay from the station I used to work with).
I thought to myself, “Another feature? Na wa!”.
In usual artistic fashion, I kept posting this “Bimpe” until I got another call from a Damilola (who happened to be Bimpe/Goldie’s PA at that time) asking for a meeting. Why not? So right after work, I decided to stop by at this person’s residence somewhere on Etim Inyang street in V/I.
Lo and behold, every female artiste who was a friend of mine was in the building!! Never one to say no to a party, I thanked Baba GOD for making my toothpick legs waka well. I also ran into Seyi Brown (we used to model for the House of KeseJabari in my hey days) and it looked like the house party was in full swing.
“Where is Bimpe ooo??” I kept screaming. And there she was, sprawled on the couch and looking a little pale.
“HA, wetin happen?” I asked and she motioned for me to sit next to her. Headache, she gestured. Amidst the chaos and chattering all around the house, she poured me a glass of white wine (which later became our favourite drink) but I declined.
Drink joor”, she whispered.
“Sorry, I don’t drink or smoke”.
“Just a glass. See it’s the one I’ve been drinking from”
“I’ll rather watch you drink” and then she gave up on me.
“So you asked to see me?” (Me no like to dey waste time. I was eyeing the pastries in the corner of the living room).
“Oh, I’m shooting a new music video. Track is titled “Spin Me”, DJ Tee is directing and I would like you to make a cameo. You were amazing in “Why Me” and Abeg I need your Rockstar self to sell my market in this video. So what would you charge me?”
I thought for a minute. ”Can I listen to the song first?”.
Then she took out her phone and typed 50k and showed me. Omo mehn, I was shocked! 50k gees at that point was good cool cash. Heck, I was earning 65k per month at work and it was strenuous work Monday to Sunday.
But there was something vulnerable about this girl and without thinking, I blurted out “You know what? Don’t worry about the cash. I will do it. When and where is the shoot plus what are you wearing so I can match up with you?”.
Now it was her turn to look shocked. She sat up sharply despite her heavy migraine and looked me in the eye. “You are kidding me. Denrele be serious jo”.
I stood up and said, “Get Damilola to call me with details of the shoot. My madness is good to go. I’m hungry, I wan chop cake.” And so I waltzed round the room, mingled with my people, foil-papered serious take away, grabbed some promo CDs and left. I went back to the office (I used to sleep at the office then), listened to the song over and over and fell asleep on my desk
The day of the Video shoot; I was late as usual, Goldie was freaking out, DJ Tee was being DJ Tee and I had to play a right handed guitar for the opening sequence. Despite my left handedness, I pulled through but not without bruising my fingers badly. I was bleeding all over the place. Goldie was so worried, she tore out the netting under her dress and tied my fingers so the bleeding could stop. Needless to say, the shoot was a success and I made a new best friend!
Fast Forward to 2010 and I became Goldie Harvey’s alter ego in all her videos!!
Never in my wildest dreams did I ever expect for her to leave so soon- her wonderful voice only a phone call away, her smile that would light up a room in seconds, and her warm heart that could melt a glacier.
She was a jewel that shone across oceans into the hearts of so many.
She was an adventurer, ready to hop on a plane in a heartbeat and experience life to the fullest.
She was a gifted artiste who could weave a song that left you breathless and laughing out loud.
She was a friend who offered encouragement when you needed it most.
She was my long lost sister who opened up a whole new family for me that time and distance will not deny.
When I think of what she accomplished, my heart soars with pride and I feel gratitude that yes, you can accomplish your dreams.
We openly shared our dreams and secrets- Goldie and I- and what I admired the most was her genuineness and style- taking risks, stepping out of her comfort zone, offering her advice and knowledge to total strangers in an effort to empower their hearts and lift their spirits.
Now she is free to work even more miracles from the other side.
I lift my heart to her in honor, and with joy, knowing that she is finally free. And if I experience just a tiny drop of the happiness she feels now, I will consider myself so fortunate to be alive.
So fortunate also to have mended fences when we clashed severely. Right after her “Jawo Jawo” video shoot, Goldie and I fell out heavily. We had finished shooting a couple of scenes at Zizi Cardow’s showroom and I noticed a change in her behavior. Because I was heavily involved onset, I felt she was unappreciative.
On the other hand, she didn’t find my humor appealing. She took some of my jokes in bad taste and then, we didn’t speak to each other for three months! But there was a bond; I found myself marching to her house and we had a shouting match that lasted for close to four hours. Exhausted from the ordeal, we sat back and laughed our differences off.
I recall Ilami Precious (who had just won the NextMovieStar at that time) sitting quietly and observing us. After then, we grew even closer than ever!
People often speak of happiness in tragedy. The most important thing Goldie taught me was how to be a friend. She was a good friend to everyone she loved, even those who at times she found impossible to like.
She was friends to some simply because she felt that they needed her to be. Goldie would give you fuel money, buy you lunch, give you a place to stay if you had nowhere else to go, or even fight a fight that she couldn’t win.
If I needed anything, Goldie would do everything she could to help me. She always knew when I was hungry or broke and always bought me the most amazing gifts. Just an hour before she passed on, she gave me a Hermes perfume she got for me in the States and told me, “When I was passing Hollywood Boulevard, this scent hit me and I thought of you immediately.”
She always came home crying every time she heard someone say nasty stuff about her to other people or even print unprintable things about her. Comments on blogs and social media always got to her however dis-interested she tried to act but I could see through that facade. She even told me about a couple of Industry heavyweights that were getting to close for comfort but we always laughed that off. “You are hot stuff nah. Enjoy the attention”……I told her.
Best friends. Period.
Honestly, every life is like a book. Some are long. Some are short. And, I remind myself that a long book doesn’t always mean that it’s a good book. Some long books- and lives- are filled with pain, bitterness and sorrow. Maybe it’s a long life that is void of love. Goldie was going to be one of those great, yet short books.
The kind that hits your heart with every page of every chapter. And just when it’s getting really good, you find yourself on the last page. Desperately wanting more. And so incredibly moved by all that you’ve absorbed.
Well, it’s been a great book Goldie.
Every word.
Every page.
Every story in every chapter.
RE: Life does go on and we should celebrate. Hopefully, we will all leave behind people that love us and have wonderful stories to share about us. How are YOU living your life??

I Have Never Celebrated Valentine’s Day – Joke Silva
Joke Silva is happily married to fellow thespian, Olu Jacobs.
Nigerian actress, Joke Silva,
is a lifestyle icon and model upon which the fantasies of a million
people are built. Having had a successful career in Nollywood, and grown
in a healthy Christian marriage and family with fellow veteran actor, Olu Jacobs, her positive influence to the Nigerian populace is immense.
Today, on Valentine’s Day, she speaks exclusively to Pulse.ng on her ideal Valentine celebration, how Valentine Day was observed in her younger days, and why it should be celebrated.
Transformation Down The years
“Valentine has become a whole new ball game. 20 years ago, it wasn’t really that much of a big deal. It was just a very beautiful phenomenon. Nowadays, it’s big business. Business and drinks. People are celebrating, people take it’s seriously.”
How She Celebrates Valentine
“I’ve never celebrated Valentine. Never. But nowadays what people tend to do is invite us, so that we come and speak at their Valentine event. Usually it’s based on relationship, how we have weathered the storm over the years to get to this stage. So that’s the difference, we tend to get festivities and dinner. It’s quite fun.
I have never celebrated Valentine. I tend to be romantic on a regular basis. For me, Valentine is all about family, I like to be with my husband on that day, but because of the kind of work we do, he might not be in town, but I take care of the members of the family. And because I have fun as well, he tends to wish me happy Val day, and I do the same.
Her Ideal Valentine Day
‘My ideal Valentine Day, for me it’s a trip. I would like to go to somewhere very cosy and serene, maybe within Nigeria or outside. I have been to some absolutely beautiful places. It will be nice to travel away to a picturesque place, and get lots of food, probably a film, a love film, I love films. (Laughs) ‘I will probably be given a pair of diamonds, or a plot of land or a new house.
Advice To Nigerian Lovers
I think it’s lovely. I think it give people the opportunity to love each other. I think people should take advantage of that and just have a lovely day together, play over their love interest and enjoy this day.
“On a day like today, it’s a day people should be extravagant, about how they feel about each other. Love is a lovely thing, it’s wonderful. And if you can celebrate it extravagantly on a particular day, why not? I think it’s good.

Usually it’s based on relationship, how we have weathered the storm over the years to get to this stage. So that’s the difference, we tend to get festivities and dinner. It’s quite fun.
I have never celebrated Valentine. I tend to be romantic on a regular basis. For me, Valentine is all about family, I like to be with my husband on that day, but because of the kind of work we do, he might not be in town, but I take care of the members of the family. And because I have fun as well, he tends to wish me happy Val day, and I do the same.
Her Ideal Valentine Day
‘My ideal Valentine Day, for me it’s a trip. I would like to go to somewhere very cosy and serene, maybe within Nigeria or outside. I have been to some absolutely beautiful places. It will be nice to travel away to a picturesque place, and get lots of food, probably a film, a love film, I love films. (Laughs) ‘I will probably be given a pair of diamonds, or a plot of land or a new house.
Advice To Nigerian Lovers
I think it’s lovely. I think it give people the opportunity to love each other. I think people should take advantage of that and just have a lovely day together, play over their love interest and enjoy this day.
“On a day like today, it’s a day people should be extravagant, about how they feel about each other. Love is a lovely thing, it’s wonderful. And if you can celebrate it extravagantly on a particular day, why not? I think it’s good.
