Why women are 'better' at cheating

Wives and girlfriends who stray are less likely than men to get caught, one relationship expert claims


According to relationship expert Cooper Lawrence, women are better cheaters, because they are better at keeping secrets! Lawrence says cheating is up among women in committed relationships because women now have the means and the motive. Women are financially independent and more likely to walk away from a relationship that isn’t satisfying. For many fans, celebrity couple Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were the perfect match. So it came as a shock when word spread that the break-up was reportedly caused by infidelity, and it was Stewart who did the cheating!

Lagos government supports Fela Museum with N40m

The spirit of Fela Kuti haunts his old house — the musician’s colourful clothes in the bedroom, his shoes on a rack — but the marijuana smoke, his many wives and his beguiling sax playing are long gone.

Thursday marks 15 years since the death of Kuti, the Nigerian Afrobeat musician who became a global icon thanks to his unique sound, his wild lifestyle and his harsh criticism of his country’s corrupt military regimes.

He is far from forgotten, both here and in many places abroad, and his family has been working to further preserve Kuti’s legacy, including efforts to turn his last house into a museum — the reason his bedroom was left as is.

“It’s gone beyond a Nigerian story,” his son Femi Kuti, also a musician, said recently before taking the stage at the family’s New Afrika Shrine club in Lagos. “It’s gone beyond an African story. It’s like jazz.”

Kuti’s legend has in some ways only grown since his death aged 58 in 1997 from an HIV-related illness, especially following a recent Broadway musical about his life that drew rave reviews.

His outsized personality and social activism made him a hero to many while he was still alive, and his funeral in the giant economic capital of Lagos drew massive crowds into the streets.

The saxophone player was a harsh critic of Nigeria’s corrupt elite, lashing out in songs like “Coffin for Head of State” or “International Thief Thief”, but with irresistible grooves that combined jazz, traditional music and other sounds.

Money ritual: Islamic clerics extort N30m from businessman

The Special Fraud Unit of the Nigeria Police has arrested two Islamic clerics, Fatai Bamidele and Lateef Ahmed, for allegedly obtaining N30m from Lawal Sulaiman, a Lagos-based businessman, under false pretence.

Police authorities said the suspects obtained the money from Sulaiman with a promise to perform ritual  to make him wealthy and invincible.

Sulaiman said he was hypnotised and held in captivity for three months by Ahmed in Kwara State.

 He denied approaching the clerics for money ritual, saying he only sought protection from evil forces.

He said, “I supply fireworks and Bamidele’s shop is very close to mine. I’ve known him for years and I trusted him to the extent that I discuss my personal problems with him.

“One day, he told me that he had a bad dream about me and that I would need special prayers. He said I would need to buy a ram and 40 Qurans for 40 Imams who would pray over the matter. I paid N125, 000 into his bank account to facilitate it.

Jonathan’s aide stands surety for subsidy fraud suspect

Special Assistant to President Goodluck Jonathan on Intergovernmental Affairs, Mrs. Mariam Ali, has volunteered to be the bail surety for one of the suspects of fuel subsidy fraud, Christian Taylor.

Taylor was on July 26 arraigned along with  Mahman Ali, who is son of   Mariam and a former Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Ahmadu Ali.

Counsel for Taylor, Mr. Kolade Obafemi, said Mariam had “prepared” to be the surety for the accused.

Taylor,  who his lawyer  said was a Sierra Leonean, was on July 26 arraigned before the court and granted bail on the condition that one of his sureties must be his blood relation who was resident in Lagos.

But the defence urged the court to vary the condition on the grounds that it would be difficult for him to secure a blood relation that was resident in Lagos as his surety.

Obafemi urged the court to accept Mariam, being “a responsible Nigerian instead of  Taylor’s blood relation”, as the surety.

Why Police Shut Wizkid’s Canada Concert Venue

Microbell Media Group, MMG, the organisers of the North American musical tour of the Empire Mates Entertainment, EME, stars, Wizkid and Skales,  has given details of what occurred at Lagondola Hall in Toronto, Canada, where the young Nigerian singing sensations had their first Canadian concert on 20 July.

Wizkid

MMG, in a press statement, said the organisers and the security team had to lock out many fans to avoid stampede as many came into the venue very late.

“Most people came for the concert between 11.30 and 12a.m. Their lateness and impatience to enter did not help the  security men’s attempt to get a large crowd into the venue.

“The chief security guard told MMG that when the fans were  rushing into the venue,  the law enforcement agents had to be called in to help control the crowd. Once the police had control of the situation, it was completely in their hands, as MMG did not have the power to enforce the law,” a statement from MMG reads.

Showbiz Trends gathered that Wizkid and Skales performed to over 500 people, while  the security agents told MMG that 500 people were outside the venue of the concert.

But while filming a sex scene for her upcoming movie “The Canyons” with porn star James Deen, she suddenly got demure. Lohan reportedly demanded the 10-man crew strip down to their skivvies while she filmed the scene in order to make her feel more comfortable going topless in front of them. Although the guys weren’t too thrilled with the idea initially, they did eventually give in to the actress. In a photo posted on Facebook, Lohan and Deen are seen lying in bed ... but covered by a sheet. Says her publicist Steve Honig, “The cast and crew have been working with Lindsay to make the film as compelling as possible.”

Agboola, whose 11-year old marriage to Funke was dissolved by the Agege Grade ‘A’ Customary Court, Lagos, Southwest Nigeria, added that when he demanded an explanation for her unusual request, she told him it was the vogue among couples and that he must do it to satisfy her.

The Osun State-born driver who also claims his ex- wife forcibly evicted him from a bungalow he built on 26, Apode Street, Ojodu, Lagos, about four years ago in order to inherit it, said further that it is high time he challenged her in the open over the ownership of the house because of his futile attempts to get justice at the Lagos State Citizens Mediation Centre which he said declined to act on the matter for no clear reason.
