'The Nigerian Boy Who Conquered America': The King of Home Equity Fraud

Tobechi Onwuhara (right) at a Dallas nightclub with Ezenwa Onyedebelu. Courtesy: FBI.
A luxury suite at the W Hotel in Dallas is as good a place as any to conquer the world. At least it seemed that way in 2007 when Tobechi Onwuhara got the crew together. They'd meet there often, seven or eight of them. Some had nicknames from the Ian Fleming lexicon: C, Q, and E. Others were called Mookie, Orji, Uche. They would spread out on designer sofas and at the wet bar, open three-ring binders, and fire up laptops with hard-to-trace wireless cards. On a nearby table there'd be prepaid cellphones with area codes taped to them. A phone for Southern California. A phone for Northern Virginia. A phone for any place Onwuhara had found the "good money."

AY AND MIKE EZURUONYE KIDNAPPING OYIBOS

These guys are so funny....in fact i'm still laughing

Caroline Ekanem-Danjuma stripped naked by angry Hubby!

carolin with hubby danjuma

  • AS ALLEGATIONS OF INFIDELITY MOUNTS 
  • HUBBY STRIPS CAROLINE DANJUMA NAKED BEFORE DOMESTIC STAFF.
  • CLOSES DOWN GUEPARD PRODUCTIONS

    These are indeed tough times for ex actress caroline ekanem-danjuma. she is a perfect example of when one says''the rich also cry''.
    According to what olofofos are whispering the bubble burst for caroline on new years day 2011.

    'She rented an apartment for her former artistes and took a room inside where she used to frolick with her male friends.problem started when caro fell out with those who had her secret meanderings at their palm.these supposed close allies reported her escapdes to an already suspecting musa danjuma who immediately moved into action.she is accused of having tango-ed with some of the artistes she signed on guepard records.

    Because of these allegations she has been incarcerated in her parkview home and placed incommunicado by the hubby after being stripped naked in her matrimonial home in front of the domestic staff,but for her husbands daughter named mary,caro would have been pushed out of her supposed home in parkview.

    The actress has been forbidden access to twitter,facebook and any other social network online,the only time she gets to know what is happening is only when the husbands daughter mary visits her in her mini prison .

    Guepard productions/records,the company caro runs was finally closed down on the 29th of december 2010 under ty danjumas instruction.All the millions of naira given to her to execute projects for the company she squandered all on expensive bags and shoes.
    After the closure of the company a certain staff of hers took one of the companys car away and the car was just recovered on friday january 21,2011,the guy and the editor kayode are cooling off in police station as at press time.also one of her cameras with a mac pro laptop in the editing suite have vanished into thin air.

    As at the time of filing this report,the ex actress is not allowed to see her kids and her phones have been confiscated,when she wants to go out,she is not allowed to go out alone and someone escorts her to wherever she wants to go and brings her back.

    The family is really trying to cover up this big disgrace because they detest this kind of negatvie publicity. guepard records was a big failure because caro was just interested in spending the money, for the brief period she was boss,she changed 4 general managers in 12 months.4 accountants in 12 months, 3 editors in one year and countless infidelity accusations trail her.

    She even fell out with hilda ekama,her best friend who used to double as her personal assistant''.

    I honestly pray that this young lady survives the storm threatening to swallow her at the moment and that she learns from the mistakes that has put her in the situation she has found herself.

    I also hope she learns how to treat people from now on,being money drunk and treating people wrong aint right!. God please,intervene in this matter and set things right...hopefully there will be no denials.!

    As for those who blew the whistle on her....wetin be una gain now??????

"My Help" Psalms 121

 


I will lift up mine eyes to the hills
from whence cometh my help,
my help cometh from the Lord,
the Lord which made Heaven and Earth.

He said He would not suffer thy foot,
thy foot to be moved;
the Lord which keepeth thee,
He will not slumber nor sleep.

Bridge
Oh the Lord is thy keeper,
the Lord is thy shade
upon thy right hand,
upon thy right hand.

No, the sun shall not smite Thee by day,
nor the moon by night,
He shall preserve thy soul
even forever more.

Chorus:
My help, my help, my help,
all of my help cometh from the Lord.

Actor Ifeanyi Dike (Before)

TV presenter, actor and chairman, board of trustees, Actors Guild of Nigeria, (AGN), Ifeanyi Dike is fighting for his life. He has kidney failure, which he has been battling for about a year now.

He said the sickness has eaten deep into his pockets, his psyche and his physique (as you can see in the this recent pic of him )

He's been keeping quiet about his illness for a while now, but friends convinced him to open up about it and seek help.

The actor needs a kidney donor and about N7million for a kidney transplant.




Actor Ifeanyi Dike (Now)

 May God continue to keep him alive and send help his way. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Genevieve Nnaji responds to pregnancy rumour

Genevieve Nnaji


“I don't want to dignify one person's act of boredom with a response really, but the truth is that there's nothing to respond to. The months will tell the truth. I have heard worse lies concerning me, but at least this time it's good news even though it's not true.” Genevieve Nnaji Said on her rumored pregnancy.

Never Before Seen Kim Kardashian Playboy Photos

Kim Kardashian is showing off her money maker for Playboy magazine in these two newly released shots that have never been seen. NSFW After the jump!

The shoot is from when she bared all for the men’s publication in 2007. When the photos first surfaced, she complained that she regretted the decision to pose nude. She even went as far as saying that her mother, Kris, pushed her into doing it.
Now that she’s almost 30, she’s not likely to get anymore offers like this one. So it’s no wonder why these pics are surfacing now.

Are you sick and tired of seeing Kim everywhere?!?? Sound off in the comments below!!

Update: We’ve got our grubby little hands on ALL of the photos from the shoot. Enjoy!!!


LIE LIE PEOPLE: Facebook is NOT shutting down March 15

Rumor said CEO Mark Zuckerberg "wants his old life back," and desires to "put an end to all the madness."


There's a silly rumor exploding on the Internet this weekend, alleging that Facebook is shutting down on March 15 because CEO Mark Zuckerberg "wants his old life back," and desires to "put an end to all the madness."

We have official confirmation from Facebook Director of Corporate Communications Larry Yu that the rumor is false.

We asked him via e-mail if Facebook was shutting down on March 15, to which he responded, "The answer is no, so please help us put an end to this silliness."

2011 Golden Globes: Worst Dressed


You’ve seen the sartorial highs from last night’s 68th Golden Globe Awards, now it’s time for the ones you’ve all been waiting for – the downright disasters.

From the all-too-familiar faces to the un-stylish surprises, cue the giggles and gasps as we reveal the worst dressed celebs on yesterday’s red carpet…

There’s just no saving Jennifer Love Hewitt (above) from this awful pale blue oversized origami Romona Keveza dress – the colour and stiff structure just don’t cut the sartorial mustard
Despite most of Twitter raving over this, words fail us when it comes to Halle Berry’s Nina Ricci netted LBD – perhaps someone should tell her she’s not cat Woman any more.
We’ve come to expect nothing less than English eccentricity from Helena Bonham Carter, but it looks as though Johnny Depp’s Mad Hatter has rubbed off all too much on the actress in this mixed-print net-skirted Vivienne Westwood dress, Lennon shades and mis-matched shoes. Shame neither of them matched her dress.
Another miss for designer Zuhair Murad, who doesn’t seem to be having much luck at the this year’s Golden Globes – just look at this whiter-than-white wedding-inspired gown Jennifer Lopez wore on the night, complete with a diamond-encrusted cape.
Always one to break the mould, Tilda Swinton‘s efforts to do things differently in new-season Jil Sander didn’t pay off this time – the lemon skirt and crisp white shirt looks awkward on the androgynous actress.
Last but not least is (regrettably) American actress Julianne Moore – who made quite the fashion faux pax in this ill-fitting one-puff-sleeved Lanvin dress – shame, because the colour’s great.
Michelle Williams

Golden Globes 2011: Hottest Red Carpet Pictures!1!

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie

Who could have possibly have been No. 1 besides the reigning king and queen of Hollywood? From their red carpet sexy faces to their mid-show PDA, Brad and Angie are Golden Globes gorgeous multiplied by the power of two.
Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones

Nothing is sexier than a happy, healthy couple, and that's exactly what we love about Michael and Catherine. Cancer-free and glowing, Michael looked better than he has in years, and Catherine was gorgeous as always in a green-and-black rouched Monique Lhuillier gown.
Hugh Dancy and Claire Danes

Rumor has it that backstage at the Golden Globes, Claire Danes admitted that she stuffs her bra. Well, she may not have been the bustiest babe of the night, but she sure did look pretty in her body-grazing Calvin Klein pink halter gown. Meanwhile, hubby Hugh Dancy's looked dapper in his skinny tie. What a cute couple!
Colin Firth and Livia Giuggioli

According to Colin Firth, his wife thinks his sex symbol status is laughable. Well, she'd better look in the mirror because the two of them are quite dreamy. No wonder the regal Brit dedicated his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame to his Italian wife earlier this week. Aww.
Brian Austin Green and Megan Fox

Megan Fox could have come to the Golden Globes with a Pillow Pet and still landed on the hottest couples list. Regardless, she and Brian Austin Green actually make a pretty sexy couple.
Armie Hammer and Elizabeth Chambers

Armie was so smoldering in "The Social Network" that his hotness had to be split in two. No wonder he nabbed a picture-perfect wife like Current TV host Elizabeth Chambers. Together, these two pretty faces kept the Golden Globes sexy meter way above average.
Robert Downey Jr. and Susan Downey

It was an off year for RDJ and his producing partner/wife in the nomination department, but this comely couple never takes time off from being super cute. Robert may have joked about getting it on with some of Hollywood's hottest A-list women, but his ear-to-ear grin proves that he only has eyes for his leading lady.
. Bruce Willis and Emma Heming

Golden Globes host Ricky Gervais joked that Bruce Willis was Ashton Kutcher's father. In that case, this baldie is one hot daddy! Hey, any dude why can snag a sexy young thing like Emma Heming has to ooze sex appeal.
Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez

J.Lo is back and better than ever. Even the caplet on her Zuhair Murad dress couldn't contain the heat emanating from this "American Idol" diva. Luckily, Marc Anthony has the fuego to match his wife's infamous smolder.
Bart Freundlich and Julianne Moor
Jon Hamm and Jennifer Westfeldt
Armie Hammer and Elizabeth Chambers
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban
Seal and Heidi Klum

We're not really sure why Seal and Heidi were at the Golden Globes this year, but who cares when they look this fine? Seal kept things classic in all black, which made his wife's bright colors pop even more.
