Finally The Truth Revealed: HOW and WHY Nollywood Actress, Bisi Komolafe, Died In Ibadan

The showbiz industry was again thrown into mourning on Tuesday following the death of a fast-rising actress, Bisi Komolafe.
Many refused to initially believe the news which started trending online on New Year eve, especially as a similar story was erroneously reported on Friday by an online platform, claiming that a prominent actor was dead.

The truth about Komolafe, however, manifested when some of her colleagues confirmed the news.
When our correspondent called cross-over actress, Foluke Daramola, she was all tears and when asked what was responsible for her weeping state, she said the industry had lost an actress, revealing her to be Komolafe.
She was slightly sick, she died in the University College Hospital, Ibadan after suffering complications from a four-month pregnancy which resulted in a miscarriage.
Actress Lizzy Anjorin, who told our correspondent that she got wind of the news via the picture of the late actress displayed by some of her BlackBerry contacts, added that if it was true then it was a huge loss. She stated, ‘‘I had met her on set many times. She is a nice person, a very nice actress.’’
Also, popular comedy actor, Bolaji Amusan, otherwise called Mr. Latin, said he heard the news on Tuesday. Commenting on the deaths in the industry, Mr. Latin explained that death was not occurring only among actors and actresses.
Saying everybody would definitely die someday, he noted that there was nothing anyone could do when death comes.
He added, “People die daily. Only God knows the number of people that have died globally between the last day in 2012 and the New Year. But because of our closeness to some people and for the fact that they are famous, we tend to express great loss when they die. The popularity of dramatists and the love people have for them often make their fans lament whenever any of them dies.’’
According to him, even if a dramatist dies five years ago, the death of another one may make some people to say that many of the industry practitioners are dying.
‘‘It is the love they have for actors and actresses that make them think so. Death is inevitable. But it is so sad that while people are rejoicing for the New Year, friends, fans and colleagues of Komolafe are mourning. She was a great and talented actress, very promising,’’ he noted.
The deceased actress had featured in Igboro Ti Daru, Omo Ghetto and Imisi Esu.
In 2012, the industry lost dramatists such as Akin Ogungbe, Gogo Ombo, Ahmed Oduola (Dento), Enebeli Elebuwa and Pete Eneh.

Homeless Heir Dies Under Bridge Unaware of $300 Million Fortune

Timothy Henry Gray

A homeless man who didn’t know he was the heir to an almost $300 million dollar fortune has passed away.
The body of Timothy Henry Gray, 60, was found under a railroad pass in Wyoming Thursday night (Dec. 27). The coroner said he died of hypothermia (the low temperature that day was 10 degrees) before discovering he was the long lost relative of reclusive heiress Huguette Clark.
NBC News reports:
Children sledding found the body of Timothy Henry Gray, 60, Thursday afternoon in Evanston, a small mining town in southwestern Wyoming near the Utah border.
The coroner said it appeared he died of hypothermia. The low temperature that day was 10 degrees, and had hit zero in the previous week. Lt. Bill Jeffers of the Evanston Police Department said there was no evidence of foul play, and Gray was wearing a light jacket.
Gray’s siblings said they hadn’t heard from him since their mother’s funeral in 1990, when he disappeared without a word. It wasn’t clear whether Gray was living under the overpass, where transients have been known to camp.
Tim Gray was an adopted great-grandson of former U.S. Sen. William Andrews Clark, known as one of the copper kings of Montana, a banker, a builder of railroads and the founder of Las Vegas. The senator’s youngest daughter, Huguette Clark, was a recluse who died in 2011 in New York City at age 104, after living in hospitals for 20 years while her palatial homes sat unused. Gray was her half great-nephew.
Sadly, no one knew who he was or that he was heir to fortune worth millions of dollars until after his death. [NBC]

And the beef goes on: How P-Square blocked May D from performing at Calabar Carnival

The last has certainly not been heard of the P-Square/May D split, as the very influential twins ensured that their former protege, did not perform at the just concluded Calabar Carnival, according to a report on Miss Petite’s Blog:

Just when I thought there would be a reunion on stage between MayD and Psquare,it is clear that wont be happening anytime soon.

MayD was billed to perform alongside Psquare and Akon at the Calabar festival. His name was on the list.And true to their words, MayD arrived at Calabar airport on the same flight with Psquare.

Miss Petite Nigeria smelt trouble when he looked alone and didn’t walk with them. They rode in separate cars and he was lodged in a separate hotel from them.

So, the show started and I saw J martins had replaced Mayd and people were asking questions about his whereabouts.

When I sought to find out why Mayd would come all the way to Calabar and not perform, my first source said “He wasnt paid his balance and decided to pull out”.

So, one of Akon’s people asked where MayD was and was told the same thing”In his words, that’s not good mennn..sometimes, it really isn’t about the money you know. Akon loves that dude mennnn”

However, another reliable source told Miss Petite Nigeria that “When Mayd was put on the list of performing artistes, the organizers didnt know he wasnt with Square records anymore.So, Psquare on getting to Calabar, intimated the organizers on the latest development and so they had to drop him at the last minute.

When Akon and Psquare performed “chop my money”MayD’s part had been yanked off….

Prophecies For Individuals In 2013 – Prophet T.B. Joshua

It is indeed a prophecy with a difference and caused us to stop and ponder his words:
“Let me give you six out of many.
The prophecies for nations, continents and for those at the helm of affairs shall be announced during the next Sunday Service.
1. A year of surprises – I am seeing many great, famous, popular and rich men and politicians will become helpless and in need of help in matters of sickness, disease, finances, death, etc. One of the causes: They have failed to reward those who helped them to succeed. This is the year of judgment, especially for politicians who use youth to support their political ambitions without reward after winning power. Tell your neighbour: Reward those who help you succeed now.
2. Those in the foodstuff business will have a field day this year. Farming and agriculture will be the order of the day and will help greatly to be the source of solution this year. People engaged in it will be greatly blessed.
3. Those anxious about God and who hate sin – the faithful – your prayers for many years are not lost. This year, there will be instant answers to your prayers, especially those who have been seeking for the fruit of the womb. The long-time barren will become mothers of many babies this New Year.
4. Natural disasters will be many this New Year, such as motor accidents, sea sickness and air disasters. Let us move to God. With God, all things are possible.
5. Stop praying against those who hurt you. This year, you will see clearly that God is God of vengeance. Instead, you should pray for them.
6. Do charity work – feed the poor and the needy and give scholarships to those who deserve them. This year, there is great reward in doing this if you do it with all your heart. No matter how little, share it with others. Share their pain and share their joy.
7. Our youth who think always of travelling should use the money to go into agriculture or foodstuff business because in the New Year, God will bless them. They will achieve greatness by transacting in agriculture and foodstuff and become successful in export and import business. The money I am talking about could be in the region of N100,000, N200,000, N250,000 ($1,000, $1,500, $2,000).
Those who have been working for many years and have never been satisfied with the job and salary they receive, the little limited resources at their disposal should be invested in foodstuff business or agriculture, especially those already married. They should divide themselves in such a way that either the husband or wife should step down from service where they receive salary and face agriculture.
Foodstuff business and agriculture or farming are anointed businesses this New Year, to revive the world from economic depression. This is the secret of God revealed to you today. Quote me; you will not regret doing it. My name is T.B. Joshua.

“My Baby Will Never Feature In ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’” – Kim Kardashian

Celebrity babies get the spotlight even before they are born, and baby Kimye is not an exception. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have however made a huge decision about their unborn child — he or she will NOT be a reality TV star … not as an infant, anyway.
While most of the Kardashians’ lives are fodder for their hit reality show … sources close to Kim told TMZ she and Kanye don’t want their baby dragged into the family biz. They’d rather keep that part of their lives separate from “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” … so they can “ensure real privacy” for the baby.
According to sources, Kim is saying the baby will NEVER be on the family’s show or have its own spin-off — nor will there be a ‘Kim Gives Birth’ TV special … she and Kanye are nixing that idea too. However, Kim will not be shy about her remaining months of pregnancy. We’re told she intends to share that with reality cameras because she thinks being “pregnant is great and cute.”
Baby Kimye sources say was conceived close to the Vatican. The deed the sources say was done back in October … during Kim and Kanye’s romantic trip to Italy to celebrate Kim’s 32nd birthday. The couple was photographed all over Rome as they toured the Colosseum, the Sistine Chapel, and, of course … the Pope’s pad. It was learnt Kim is about 12 weeks along … so the math adds up. One clue about how important that Italy trip is to Kim — her blog lists it as #2 on her top 10 best moments of the year. [TMZ]
