How Sani Abacha died, by Jerry Useni (2)

Last week, we brought you the first part of this interview. In this second part, General Jeremiah Timbut Useni (rtd) says Abacha was not poisoned but died of natural causes. His words:They cut his body and sent to Germany. The report that came back said Abacha died of natural causes. They cut his body again and sent to the United Kingdom, the report that came back said he died of natural causes.
The man had been ill any way. Useni also speaks about the Jos killings and insists that for as long as the problem in Jos is treated differently from others, then the Federal Government may not be ready to solve the problem.”

Edo State-born Nollywood actress, Christabel Egbenya, says she is just a happy girl that has been blessed by God and that she’s trying to bless everyone around her.

“I’m kindhearted and I hate being taken for granted. I love to laugh…that’s basically me”, she said. And that seems to explain why the actress finds it hard to put up with

Promising and fast-rising Nollywood actress, Rachael Okonkwo, isn’t a household name yet, but the fair-skinned thespian has all the trappings of a big star in the making: beauty, brains and the talent.

Having knocked on the doors of fame in such popular flicks like ‘Pinging Ladies’, ‘White Ladies’, ‘Agatha’, ‘Tears of Olamma’, ‘Open and Close’, ‘Marine Daughters’, ‘Blackberry Madness’, ‘Ekaette Goes To School’ amongst others, Racheal has so much to look forward to, as far as the movie industry is concerned.

My back is hotter than my front – Anita Joseph

Nollywood actress cum singer, Anita Joseph, isn’t just a girl that would get up close and personal with you without some emotions running wild – real wild! Unlike most women who are blessed with either the front or back, Anita has both in abundance and when she isn’t throwing them at you, you feel they somewhow reaching out to you anyways.

She has been romantically linked to governors, senators, musicians and footballers. Not for any other reason but because she has a sensuality that tends to reach out and grab at your conscience. She recently told Potpourri she cannot be a complete housewife, but then who would expect such a time-bomb all locked up behind closed doors.

She has so many luscious pictures on the internet with either the boobs or the backside running free and mean but when Potpourri caught up with the diva and asked her the million dollar question; which has caused men more pain, her boobs or backside?,

she replied: “ My backside is hotter than my boobs, even though I have both in good measure. Guys find them hard to resist. A guy once tapped my ass and when I turned, he just ran away. My backside has such effects on men”.

I am sexy and focused — Tamara Eteimo

When A-list movie director, Charles Novia, was asked to name his best five actresses in recent times, he mentioned Mercy Johnson as number one and Tamara Eteimo as number two. Such is the rising profile of the Bayelsa State-born actress who only recently shot her own produced film.
Here, Tamara opens the door to her world and takes us through the mind of the girl behind the actress. Excerpts: What has been happening?; have you started music like you said you would?

Tamara-Eteimo

A lot has been happening, although I have not gone back to music as fully as l would want. I rapped in the movie l am working on and may release the music in future. I have been shooting; I did a job in Port Harcourt with Nse Ikpe Etim, Kalu Ikeagwu and Blossom Chukujekwu. It was great going back to my roots.

By the way I am producing now; It is my first movie, ‘Somewhere Down The Line’ is the title of this movie and by the special grace of God, I will say that it’s a good one and we did our best in the movie. On the set were Yemi Blaq, Bukky Wright, Racheal Oniga, Yinka Ayelokun, Mary Lazarus, Adetomiwa Kukoyi, Yinka Salau and lots of other great actors.

The film was directed by Alex Mouth, a fantastic director. In the movie I played two characters. That is what l call using one stone to kill two birds. I am also launching my website soonest where all about me will be revealed.

How do you intend to keep with the competition with so many new faces springing up in Nollywood everyday?
Children are born daily and they all have different abilities and selling points. In other words, great talents emerge every day. Just like there are many stars in the sky, but some stars do shine brighter than others without stress.

GOVERNOR Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State, yesterday, condemned the demand by some Christian religious groups in the state that a Christian should be his successor in 2015, saying, “do they really believe in God? It is only God that can insist.”

Fashola, while declaring open an inter-faith conference in Lagos, with the theme: ‘Peace, Religious Harmony and Good Governance: Issues and Challenges’, argued that the insecurity in the nation would reduce drastically if everyone embraced religious harmony.

According to him; “People have said that they want one particular governor and I have ask myself two questions – the people who said that they want one particular governor or said that there must be this particular governor, are they still conscious that it is an election where a choice has to be made? If there are two democrats, they should expect that citizens must have a say in who is sworn-in as the governor of their state.
