Yoruba comic actor Olaniyi Afonja popularly known as Sanyeri has denied selling the audio recording of his wedding to marketers.
The Oyo State-born actor reveals that even though the CD ‘Igbeyawo Sanyeri’ is on sale in the market, he has no idea how much money came out of the deal.
‘It’s true that my wedding CD is in
the market but I am not the one that sold the master CD. It’s Pasuma who
owns the music. The marketer contacted him, not me’, he told Encomium Weekly.
The ‘Opakan’ actor says he doesn’t understand why people are making a big issue out of the situation. ‘But
I don’t see any reason some people are creating an issue out of that. I
don’t know anything about what the marketer offered. It’s none of my
business’, he said.
The actor legalized his relationship with his partner of eight years and mother of his children Motunrayo on Sunday, December 1, 2013. The wedding ceremony attended by Yoruba movie actors including Yinka Quadri, Hafiz Oyetoro, Femi Adebayo, Fathia Balogun and others was held at Anchor Event Centre, Ikeja.
‘Ronaldo doesn’t deserve World Best title’, Franck Ribery

Bayern Munich winger Franck Ribery says Cristiano Ronaldo does not deserve the FIFA Ballon d’Or prize.
The French player, who came third behind Barcelona FC’s Lionel Messi and eventual winner Ronaldo at this year’s awards, told German newspaper AZ Munchen.
’I have won everything with the team and individually. Ronaldo won nothing’, he said.
Before the award gala on January 13,
there’s been wide spread criticism of the voting system employed by FIFA
and politics which many believe favoured Ronaldo.
‘I am not sad, but it hurts the
heart. Do not get me wrong, I am proud to have been there. I feel I
deserve this title, but there are so many politics’.
The player and so many football lovers
across the globe also criticized FIFA on the selection of FIFA World XI
as six players who play in the Spanish league were selected, while the
German Bundesliga had only three, despite the fact that German clubs
Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund contested the UEFA Champions League final.
This year’s FIFA Ballon d’Or will go
down in history as one of the most controversial as voting was extended
by two weeks after the deadline had been reached in the first week of
November.
Many felt this helped swing the votes in
favour of Cristiano Ronaldo who coincidentally had one of the
performances of the year after the extension which coincided with the
final round of play-off matches for the 2014 World Cup. Ronaldo single
handedly took his country to the world cup by scoring a hat-trick
against the Swedes.
Father of Super Eagles and Chelsea of England star blamed the CAF
Yaya Toure and Mikel Obi
Pa Michael Obi, father of Super Eagles and Chelsea of England star, Mikel Obi has blamed the President of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Isa Hayatou for not awarding his son the 2013 African Footballer of the Year award.
The older Obi according to Punch alleged
that the CAF president had always exhibited what he termed ‘a dislike’
for footballers from Anglophone countries. ‘We know that it was he,
Isa Hayatou (CAF President), that denied him that award. Yahaha (Yahaya
Toure, the eventual winner) himself said so that his friend is worthy
to take the award’, he concluded.
Pa Obi however said that his family were
not concerned that Mikel did not win the award but believes that he
will do so at God’s appointed time.
Ivorian mid-fielder Yaya Toure, was crowned winner of 2013 African Footballer of the Year at the award ceremony held on Thursday, January 9, 2014 in Lagos.

The Wanted have announced they are to split after their next tour.
The British boy band – comprised of Max George, Siva Kaneswaran, Jay McGuiness, Tom Parker and Nathan Sykes
– have revealed they will be disbanding temporarily to ‘pursue personal
endeavours’ after completing their upcoming ‘Word of Mouth Tour’.
In a statement posted on their website on Wednesday, January 22, 2014, the band said: ‘The

single ‘Glow In The Dark’ taken from their November release ‘Word of
Mouth’. They are very excited to perform ‘Glow In The Dark’ along with
their smash singles ‘I Found You’, ‘Chasing The Sun’, and ‘Glad You

The band wants to stress to their fans that they will continue on as

The news follows the group’s decision in
December to cancel all of their European tour dates for 2014 after Max
left their US tour to deal with the death of his grandfather David
George.
The band’s shock announcement has left their fans devastated, with many taking to Twitter to express their disappointment.
User @LauraJane tweeted: ‘I’m so upset right now I don’t know how to feel.’
Poster Camilla (@millaz_) wrote: ‘I
dont know what to say! I don’t know if i believe it really is just a
breake or if it’s a goodbye! (sic)’
Nathan and Siva both took to their own personal Twitter accounts to acknowledge the reaction of their fans.
Siva – who recently got engaged to his girlfriend of six years, Nareesha McCaffrey – posted: ‘We love you guys.’
Nathan simply tweeted: ‘I love you guys.Justin Bieber arrested for DUI, drag racing and resisting arrest
"Law enforcement tells us ... Bieber was busted in Miami Beach and it didn't end with DUI ... he was also busted for resisting arrest without violence, drag racing and driving on an expired license.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... they believe Justin was under the influence of both drugs and alcohol.
We're told the resisting arrest charge stems from Bieber refusing to take his hands out of his pockets when ordered to do so by cops.
Bieber is now in custody and is at the police department where he is being tested -- presumably to more precisely measure his blood alcohol level. Our law enforcement sources say Justin was given a field sobriety test at the scene ... and failed. His next stop will be jail, where he will be booked and processed and bail will be set.
We're told Bieber had just left a club and was driving a yellow Lamborghini at the time cops spotted him in a residential neighborhood. Our sources say Justin's people actually blocked the street off so Bieber could drag race.
Sources say the person Justin was racing with was also arrested. We're told that driver was Khalil, a well-known rapper on Def Jam Records. He was in a red Lambo.
Justin had a passenger in the car -- a model.
The traffic stop was for drag racing and cops determined he was driving under the influence.

Actress Yetunde Akilapa - "I Am Not A Thief, My Problem Is Spiritual"
It was her second stealing incident in one year. In February 2013, the
actress was involved in a home break-in incident in the Shomolu area of
Lagos for which she was allegedly arrested, prosecuted and remanded at
the Kirikiri Maximum Prison for six months. Just two months after she
was released, she was caught stealing again. But Yetunde says she's not a
Kleptomaniac, that her problem is spiritual.
"I am not a thief. I didn't steal anything. I dont know what is happening to me. I have every reason to believe my problem is spiritual. I can't even explain the circumstance I found myself. People should not ruin my life and career. I am fed up with life. I am not what people think I am. I have never been to Kirikiri Maximum Prison as alleged. God please help me out of this mess! As I am speaking with you now, I am in Ibadan, Oyo state seeking the face of God and I believe I would get out of this dilemma one day. I am not a kleptomaniac. I have not stolen anything" she told Encoimum magazine.
Yetunde was also rumored to have been banned from the
Odunfa Caucus of the Yoruba Movie Industry, an allegation she refuted
stating she had called her bosses and they said such a decision was
never taken.
She said 'There is nothing like that. When I heard that rumor, I called
all my bosses, and they said there was nothing like that. So it's just a
rumor. People are only interested in fueling issues because of my
situation. Nobody banned me from acting".
Reacting to the ban allegation, Yomi Fabiyi who is a member of the Odunfa caucus spoke on behalf of the group.
Reacting to the ban allegation, Yomi Fabiyi who is a member of the Odunfa caucus spoke on behalf of the group.
"My opinion is that the association has procedures. With the report highlighted on social media, it looked half baked. To me, half truth is worse than a lie. I want to believe if she was caught with stolen items, the items must have been stated. She said they found her with four keys and nothing suggest the keys fit into any of the doors there. The association would even have to investigate the matter, especially when the reporter seem to be filing his report on a third party account. If there was any ban whatsoever, where is the proof? Then who banned her from acting? The association does not condone crime in any form and will act on authentic information. So Yetunde Akilapa to me has not been banned, But that will be investigated if necessary" Fabiyi told Encomium magazine
Counsel to Yetunde Akilapa, Barrister Bosun Osifowora released a
statement on the issues about Yetunde's theft story, her alleged
Kirikiri prison detention as well as her ban from the Odunfa Caucus of
the Yoruba Movie Industry.
His statement reads:
His statement reads:
"We write to expressly correct the impression that Yetunde Akilapa has been banned or suspended. She has not received verbal or written notice to that effect. Yetunde is sorry and remorseful that her name is involved in such things. She has very much regard for the industry and Odunfa Caucus, more reason she fights hard to always clear her name. It is ridiculous to suggest she wil be expelled when it is abundantly cleared that she has been cleared of any wrong doing but needs physical and spiritual help. There is no dignity fighting someone on the floor.
We also like to correct the following impressions:
* Yetunde was never in Kirikiri prisons during the first case. The matter was charged to court and bail application was granted and condition met same day which the media was aware of. The case lasted three months and she attended court from home, not from custody.
* There was nothing like master key and on no account did the police say the keys found on her were compared to the key hole of the rooms in the hosue and it opened. Why are journalist feeding people with stories so untrue? They were her keys, just four pieces.
* On this second case, whoever broke the news lied. Yetunde was never accused of stealing. The accuser suspects she may have been sent to drop some fetish substance. Must lies sell stories?
* The case got a twist when in an effort to prove her innocence of diabolical intentions, she confidently stated she is a budding actress. One of the guys googled her name and found the previous story, hit her in a swift reaction, hence she fainted. The guy has since apologized.
* It was on this note that the police was informed and the matter was settled and it was abundantly clear her accusers were also at fault. One thing now led to another until it dawned on her, after public accusation she began to realize she is in the wrong place.
* We are all Africans, efforts are in top gear to find a lasting solution to this menace. She needs your prayers, not your persecution now.
