Wave making singer, Waje, has revealed the kind of man she would want to spend the rest of her life with. According to the singer, her must be muscular in order to carry her well.
The Edo state-born singer said since she is on the chubby side, her kind of man should be tall, handsome and should be very caring.
Speaking on the international acceptance of Nigerian music, she explained that Nigerian music is more accepted outside the country than here in Nigeria.
“I finished a show in Kenya and after a shoot, I was tired and I wanted to get something, and I went out without my shoes on so my assistant said I should put on my shoes, and I said if anybody knows me here, I would give him N100,000 and immediately I entered, people were coming to take pictures with me, i was surprised.
“But if it were to be Nigeria, they will just look at you pretending to be looking at their twitter page and before you know it, they have taken your photograph and tweet ‘in the airport with Waje,’ but the person will not even greet you,” she said.
Waje also cleared the ideology that in Nigeria, people just hate themselves, saying it is just a way of life of Nigerians because some people really don’t care and can be tough too
Beautiful Nigerian singer, Waje, like every woman, would love to get married and settle down but she seems not to get the right man who will understand the nature of her job as an entertainer who must balance her career and marriage.
In a recent chat with entertainment site, NETng, she opened up on the difficulty of getting a partner who will come to terms with the rigours of her life.
This is what the mother of an adorable daughter told NETng when asked why she is not married:
I don’t know why, but I feel God has a way of doing things. I have so much on my hands now, let that matter rest for now, let me not go and marry now before my husband says he wants pounded yam, cooked by his wife not a maid.
Then I will leave everything I am doing and I will be pounding yam. But when somebody who understands my kind of person and my job comes along, then it will be easier for me.
After all the troubles of the day, the traffic, somebody getting you angry, there should be that one person who can calm you. Everybody would love to have somebody as a companion, so do I.
Who is that man who is ready to pound yam for Waje

… There’s this story that won’t just go away that suggests you have a love child? Basketmouth “I wouldn’t refer to her as a love child. She’s my child that people didn’t know of. Yes I have a daughter with my ex-girlfriend. Its not a comfortable topic to discuss because I wouldn’t want to put anybody under pressure. As long as my family is happy and I’m on the same page with my wife, my siblings, my mum, my pastor and the family of my daughter, that’s all that actually matters.
When did you have the child? Basketmouth: years ago, a while before my wedding.
How did your wife react to the news? Basketmouth: You can guess.
Why did you wait till now before choosing to come clean? It’s never been a hidden issue. That its private doesn’t make it hidden..

As a lot of us know by now the power of makeup seems to have no limit. From creating cleavage and making our noses slimmer to changing whole face shapes, makeup his the new plastic surgery.
For Filipino TV host Paolo Ballesteros, makeup is more than concealing a few dark spots and looking good – it’s changing his face to look like some our favourite celebrities.
From Kim Kardashian, Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande to Megan Fox, Katy Perry & Miley Cyrus, Paolo has re-created famous faces almost to perfection. He uses just makeup, coloured contacts, wigs and we have to admit some of them made us gasp and giggle and he definitely won’t have a problem going for Halloween.
You can see more of his work on his Instagram page: @pochoy_29, but first check out some of our favourite transformations.

Denrele Edun knows how to keep his fans talking – if it isn’t his style, it is his Instagram posts.
The media personality shared a picture on his social media Instagram account, in support of yesterday’s Breast Cancer awareness #NoBraDay. In the picture Denrele can be seen wearing only a pair of pink briefs.
Denrele simply captioned the picture “#NoBraDay”.
His followers have been going hard in the comment section with their different opinions and thoughts about the picture.
Do you know what my favourite part of landing in South Africa is? Those few minutes before you start descending for landing…just when the sun starts to rise and you can feel the essence of SA. The fact that I was going to be at the live recording of the Big Brother Africa Hotshots was definitely a major plus and I couldn’t wait to get started on my Big Brother Hotshots Weekend.
After the rather bumpy landing, we finally got out of the plane and embraced the cold that I was warned about. I didn’t listen and wore something I thought would suffice…but boy was I wrong! I’m sure even the South African Immigration Officer rushed going over my passport and documents just to help me get to warmth quicker – although that was before she hailed me for “not being like my brothers & sisters who don’t come with the right documents“.
On arriving at the Garden Court Hotel, Sandton with my Nigerian colleagues –Azu Amatus and Gbenga Bada from NET NG the only thing on our mind was FOOD! It might be just me, but every time I get hungry and it’s finally time to eat, I take a tiny portion and get filled up quickly. Nah! it’s not just me!

After a quick breakfast, we headed to our rooms and finally got the much needed shut-eye that was deprived us on the flight.
I had a great view of Mandela Square which was directly opposite our hotel
Several hours later, we headed to the lobby and met the rest of our group from all over Africa for dinner at Winnies Jazz & Soul Restaurant. We were a pretty large group so we had to get two tables and went round the table introducing each other.
Dinner was a safe choice for me. After my “food disaster” on my trip to Abu Dhabi, I decided that my taste buds should throw away their Indiana Jones hats and whips and settle for what they are used to tasting.
Ready for dinner…but first let me take a Selfie with my Selfie stick (Don’t judge me!)
Of course judging from the name of the restaurant, dinner wouldn’t have been complete without some live entertainment. A performer graced the stage and gave us several renditions of classics from South Africa and the world as well as a few original songs. Not the kind of music I like, but hey when in Rome…
We also got a goody bag from MultiChoice! Yay!
The next day was quite fun! We headed over to the Nickelodeon Channel launch where 2 new channels – Nick Jnr. and Nick Toons were being introduced to the kids. On arrival we got signed in and were given hats for the welcomed sun and were off to enjoy the activities!
Senior Vice President & Managing Director, Viacom International Media Networks Africa Alex Okosi was present and the kids got to meet some of their favourite characters from the channels – Dora the Explorer, Diego, Raphael &Mikey from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Sponge Bob Square Pants andChuckie and Tommy from the Rugrats. How do I know all this – I’m a proud kid at heart.
Inside the tent where kids were walking on slime water and having a great time, Alex and his team gave a speech on the 2 new channels…

and of course got slimed in true Nickelodeon fashion!
We had so much free food and drinks that it took a while for me to recognize the celebs like ex-BBA housemate Lerato Sengadi, Nonhle Thema, Theo Kgosinkwe of Mafikizolo and more that were presents with their kids. lol.

After the fun and excitement of the day, we were on our way back to the hotel and I could have sworn they were driving me back to Nigeria. Places are so far apart. Now, sadly while the others went clubbing and to watch movies after our return, I acted like an old lady, ordered dinner and headed to my room for some much needed rest. Plus I was a bit under the weather (Insert ‘Awwws’ and ‘Eyahs’ here).
Day 3 and the most important day of them all – the Big Brother Africa Hotshots launch! Was I excited? Yes! Why? For one my mum is a huge Big Brother fan and the fact that I was ‘possibly’ going to be shown on TV at the live show was a thrill. But personally I just love experiencing new things and places…so let’s go!
Sadly I didn’t get a full photo of my dress thanks to the very persistent cleaner who rushed me out of my room (I was really pained by that) but at least the Selfies I took will make up for that.
Most of you heard of the news that the Big Brother Africa house burned down, so sadly we had to make do with a smaller location. Irrespective of that, I must say they did a great job at making it work in 3 weeks. The venue, the house, the stage and the production still went on great and I think that just goes to show how much dedication they have towards putting together a great show.
While mingling and networking at the event, we got to take photos and get ready for the exciting night for Africa!
A few minutes past 5 we were ushered to the stage and seated where BBA hostIK Osakioduwa came out for a chat before the live show. Sadly we were asked to turn out phones off because of interference but we got to sneak a few photos.
Ik Osakioduwa cracking us up before the show!
Let me just tale this time to say, if you think the housemates looked hot from your screens, they are 100 times hotter in real life!
I thought the show went really well especially IK’s performance – now that was a pleasant surprise. The fact that the housemates had a talent show was also actually great as it gave us a peek at their personalities instead of having to wait for them to unravel during the show.
Watch IK’s performance below in case you missed it.

Tayo from Nigeria
Another highlight was the performances from AB Crazy & DJ Dimplez, Diamond,Casper & Davido who closed the show with ‘Skelewu‘. I had a blast meeting everyone and the show was definitely an amazing experience.

I really think the Nigerian contestants will go far, especially Lilian. She’s really feisty. Who do you think will win and who’s your favourite?
A huge thank you to MultiChoice for making this trip possible. I had a wonderful time and can’t wait for the finale!

Music channel MTV Base ignited a fierce social media debate about the best of Nigerian music following a programme which aired on Nigeria’s Independence Day called “The Best Naija Songs Ever on MTV Base”.
The list of artistes and songs featured in the programme was determined by viewers of MTV Base, who voted via the MTV Base website http://www.mtvbase.com to choose their musical favourites starting from the channel’s launch on 22 February, 2005 till the present day. The “Top 20” voted for by MTV Base viewers comprised:
1. 2Face: African Queen 2. 9ice: Gongo Aso 3. D’Banj: Oliver Twist 4. P Square Feat. Waje : Do Me 5. Wizkid: Holla At Your Boy 6. Davido: Dami Duro 7. Ice Prince: Oleku 8. D’Banj: Why Me 9. M.I.: Safe 10. Olu Maintain: Yahooze 11. Naeto C: Kini Big Deal 12. Davido: Skelewu 13. Banky W: Lagos Party 14. Wizkid: Pakorumo 15. Asa: Jailer 16. P Square: Chop My Money 17. Wande Coal: Bumper To Bumper 18. Dr Sid: Surulere 19. Flavour: Nwa Baby (Remix) 20. KCee: Limpopo
Bonus Track: Iyanya: Kukere
Other artists/tracks that received an honourable mention included: Styl Plus: Olufunmi; Shank: Julie; DJ Jimmy Jatt: Stylee; Ikechukwu feat. Don Jazzy & D’banj: Wind Am Well; D’Banj: Fall in Love.
Alex Okosi, Senior Vice President & Managing Director, Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) Africa, welcomes the heated debate sparked by the programme
“We are thrilled to see the passion with which people are engaging in the discussion about the Best Naija Tracks. There has been concern in some quarters that the list didn’t include some of Nigeria’s most seminal artists and songs – it seems as if some people may have misinterpreted the campaign. This list of tracks, as voted by the public, was never intended to reflect the Best Naija Tracks of all time; the creation of this campaign is part of the build up to our 10th birthday and it was supposed to highlight artistes that have been played on our channel since the launch of MTV Base in 2005, hence the title “The Best Naija Tracks Ever on MTV Base”. We understand that the positioning could have been misleading on some of our platforms and we regret any confusion caused.”
“As a brand, we acknowledge and respect the fact that Nigeria has a long music history beyond the last 10 years and our work since launching MTV Base is to help develop and showcase the best of Nigerian and African music to a global audience. The “Best Naija Tracks Ever on MTV Base” campaign is really about celebrating the new generation of talent who have benefitted from the legends who paved the way for their successes today.”
“The important thing is that everyone has their own views about what makes a great song or a great artist, and we’re keen to hear their thoughts. We are continuing the debate and encouraging music fans to further engage with the campaign via our digital media platforms. We will also be filming a special MTV Base Nigerian music roundtable in Lagos on this topic, featuring artistes, DJs and music industry experts. The roundtable will air on MTV Base in November 2014 as part of the channel’s build up to our 10th birthday celebrations. Simultaneously, MTV Base is challenging music fans to create their own lists of Best Naija Tracks, and to post them on MTV Base social media assets, or to get involved in the conversation by using the hashtag #BaseBestNaijaTracks. Those engaging in the campaign stand the chance to have their comments featured in the roundtable discussion on MTV Base.”
