• The Former Inspector General of Police, Sunday Ehindero has been remanded in Kuje prisons for charges of embezzling and misappropriating funds while at the helm of affairs. Ehindero is on trial for allegedly embezzling N16 million meant for the police force. He and a former Commissioner of Police in charge of Budget, John Obaniyi, were, on Friday, docked before an Abuja High Court.
    There have been several versions of the actual amount misappropriated by the duo during their tenure. Daily Times reports that the money was the interest that accrued to N567 million donated to the police, for the procurement of arms, ammunition and riot control equipment, by the Bayelsa State Government. Tribune claims that they misappropriated about N558 million while The Nation says they misappropriated about N574.4 million Police fund while in office.
    ...

    Ehindero succeeded Tafa Balogun, who was also convicted for corruption, as Inspector General of Police. He served his tenure between 2005 and 2007.
    Talk about having a taste of one’s own medicine. After sending so many people to jail, its time to go join them. How sad.

The story brought about Beverly being spotted with Uti at the Nollywood Movies Awards (NMA) held in Lagos on June 2, 2012. We reported that it was a big surprise to see Uti with a female and not the regular former Mr Nigeria 2010 first runner-up, Alex Ukubo he is always seen with at most events. Though Nigeriafilms.com has got many reports and tales that Uti is allegedly practising homosexuality with Alex, but since we have not been able to get concrete evidence to prove our story, we have always spared the two handsome guys of the story because we know the enormity of such stories. According to what Global News Magazine reported, his name is Uti Nwachukwu; some call him Ugo Na Chonmma, others refer to him a...

HAIRSTYLES IN AFRICAN CULTURE The evidence of Greek writer Lucian (ca. 120–190 AD), the satirist from Samosata in his writing introduces two Greeks, Lycinus and Timolaus, who start a conversation: Lycinus (describing a young Egyptian): "This boy is not merely black; he has thick lips and his legs are too thin . . .  his hair worn in a plait behind  shows that he is not a freeman." Timolaus: "But that is a sign of really distinguished birth in Egypt, Lycinus, All freeborn children plait their hair until they reach manhood. It is the exact opposite of the custom of our ancestors who thought it seemly for old men to secure their hair with a gold brooch to keep it in place." (Lucian,  Navigations , paras 2-3) A recently discovered papyrus from Egypt informs us that Myron the Greek sculptor of the middle 5th century BC. made statues of the athlete Timanthes, victorious at Olympia in 456 BC, and of Lycinus, victorious in 448 and 444 BC.     ...
