I would Love to Change My Tribe from Igbo to Yoruba! -Larry Koldsweat



Veteran actor Larry Koldsweat has paid his dues in the Nollywood industry. The Igbo born actor, has revealed in an interview, that given a chance of reincarnation, he would want to return as a Yoruba man.

The Head pastor at Seed of Favour ministry affirmed “If I have to come back to this world, I will be an actor again, I will be pastor and I will be a Nigerian again but I’ll like to change my tribe, I will like to be a Yoruba man (laughs). Reasons are, Yoruba people are very receptive; they are the only people that can give you a land irrespective of your tribe.
They have a large heart. This is my 40th year in Yorubaland and God made me what I am today in Yoruba land. I am a Lagosian take it or leave it. This is where my children can call their home, this is where we met God; this is where I made my dream and it is where I met my wife.”
I think this is a good one for the Yorubas, in fact, Lagos State should be proud to have this kind of commendation from an Igbo man.

I don’t do laundry-Joke Silva



“Excuse me, at this stage of my life, I cook when I like.The laundry? Abeg, even when we were newly married, it was underlined, I don’t do laundry!

That was actress Joke Silva's comment when asked in Saturday Tribune if she still cook for her husband Olu Jacobs or wash his clothes.

In time past, African women, especially wives were treated as a domestic figures, who do all the house chores, while the man sits reading Newspaper, watching TV with his leg on the table, better still chatting with friends. While the woman on the other hand is restricted to the kitchen,(office) cooking and sweating, at the same time paying attention to the baby, to see that the child is comfortable, serves her husband, also clear the dishes they both used in eating, doing laundry for the man, children and herself. These depict an ideal African wife back then. Does that mean that the wives of nowadays are not ideal?

What's your opinion about her statement?

Everybody abandoned me-Kel.

Top female hip hop/rap queen, Kelechi Ohia popularly known as Kel has expressed her dissatisfaction at the treatment melted at her by her supposed friends in the music industry.
She made this assertion in an interview with The Sun Newspaper. When asked about her low moments she replied” When I took a break from the industry, I realized who my true friends are and who the sharp ones are. There were people who told me that I am like family to them, they said all sort good things to me but I found out that human beings are too selfish to look out for someone else.”
The graduate of Economics, from the Lagos State University (LASU), has promised to return to music in full fledge, but this time she would be coming out as raw Kel.”What I mean is that I will be sharing my life through music. If I am sad while working on my music, I will put in that experience. Same thing for when am happy. I won’t go around creating scenarios that don’t exist”.
