Baba Suwe Drug Mess: Mosun Filani Denied UK Visa

The Yoruba film actress and producer was denied UK visa last week following what insiders say have a lot to do with the arrest of one of her colleagues, Baba Suwe, over dug trafficking allegations. The British Embassy followed the Baba Suwe drug mess saga keenly and wanted to see the outcome before giving out visas.

Hope this doesn't become a trend, where everyone else pays for one person's mistake.

Between Liz Garvy and Dencia

This is kinda like stale news...it happened like two weeks ago, but just in case you missed it...then enjoy...:-)

So Liz Garvy, a well known fashion entrepreneur with a few boutiques in Lagos, got into a nasty girl fight with former friend, upcoming Cameroonian singer and us-based video model, Dencia, at the bathroom of the Eko Hotel, venue of the Headies Award which held last month. The physical altercation which saw Dencia almost stripped naked was the outcome of a friendship gone sour. 

Basically what happened was that Dencia went around telling people that Liz stole $20, 000 from her when she visited her house in the US last year. Liz was furious about the allegations and was waiting for a confrontation. They met at the Headies Award and all hell broke loose.

A few days after the fight, Liz Garvy released her version of what happened between them. Read it after the cut...

THE FIRST KISS AND ALL THE FANFARE AT FUNKE FOWLER AND ABI KUKU'S ENGAGEMENT CEREMONY

Abi Kuku and Funke Fowler

29th of October 2011, the date of Abi Kuku and Funke Fowler's Traditional Engagement ceremony, was firm in the diaries of Lagos party go-ers. It was probably the most hyped ceremony in Lagos in a while...Every one of my friends and their siblings and their own friends and their friends, friends...( you get my drift?) were there and the Fowler and Kuku Families were prepared to receive the whole of Lagos if they had turned up in two massive marquees set on the grounds of Tafawa Balewa Square

It was a 'Superb Lagos Shindig' and by all standards a classy engagement ceremony. The Bride and Groom looked resplendent in champagne and gold and guests rose to the occasion  looking fabulous in their 'master-planned outfits' but no one could steal the Bride's shine..She looked absolutely stunning!
