Now I believe in love – Maureen Cyril

Remember Maureen Cyril, the beautiful light-skinned actress who bedazzled movie lovers in uptown movie ‘Lady Gaga’. She is very much around but not available as she used to be because her status has changed. She got married last year and ever since has been singing ‘I never knew there was a love like this before’.

In fact when I got talking to her lately I almost had my ears knocked off my head with her song of bliss on how much God has blessed her with the man of her dream. She even invited me for a surprise party for her husband on Valentine’s Day.

                                                                               Kosoko

If one rides a horse in the heart of veteran Nollywood actor, Prince Jide Kosoko, the rider would surely have a jolly ride.

Perhaps, he underrated his popularity in the nation’s entertainment industry having been unable to get over the continuous encomiums on him from several quarters days after his birthday.

Physicians aver that the female genital needs to breathe in order to maintain its PH levels and prevent fungi and odour. And that’s why doctors advise going bare below when it’s bed time at the close of day.

Part of the problem, says Family Physician, Dr. Grace Obong, is that during the day,
