President Robert Mugabe as WHO Goodwill Ambassador for Noncommunicable Diseases in Africa. As a result I have decided to rescind the appointment. I have listened carefully to all who have expressed their concerns, and heard the different issues that they have raised.

It is my aim to build a worldwide movement for global health. This movement must work for everyone and include everyone.

Zack Orji in a new interview talked about quitting smoking, problem of drug abuse in the Nigerian entertainment industry and how it is caused by poor parenting. Zack Orji who talked about the drug related deaths of young artistes in the entertainment inudstry, said; “I would say the problem of drugs in the entertainment industry especially with young musicians is a problem of poor parenting. We must inculcate in our children a good moral compass. When they go wrong, we must not fail to correct them. We should not condone certain things and make our children feel like they can get away with certain things. That is one of the problems we have with the so-called influential people in the society. They are always ready to bail out their children irrespective of what the children did, not minding the fact that whatever your son does to another person, that is also another human being. “A number of parents in America for example, who choose to be their children’s managers do that becau...

Nollywood movie star, Rachel Oniga, in an interview with Goldmyne TV, talked about her years in Nollywood, making friends and enemies and backstabbing in the Nigerian movie industry. “I have no enemies and I have no friends in the industry. Do you always see me in parties or events? I also tell younger actors who are close to me to avoid keeping enemies and friends.  Whenever you are at the location of a movie project, give it your best and go to your house. There is no point getting too comfortable with other actors. “I don’t party with my colleagues. When you do that always, you are gradually inviting problems for yourself, as people are always looking for opportunities to bring others down. In most cases, they will give you the impression that they are your friends and wish you well, but they will later stab you at the back when you least expected it. I’ve experienced things in my life so I have decided to stay away from some gatherings,” she said.

Does he think all this speculation is unfair? Craig replies: “Nah, you know what? I leave it very open because at the end of the day it’s one of those things where I shouldn’t have to reinforce and state, ‘No, I’m a heterosexual’ — because that’s all nonsense. I think it’s very evident in the way my songs are and how I speak about relationships so I wouldn’t even go into it. It’s like if that’s what you feel it’s what you feel. The only person that it really matters is the relationship that I’m in and I know, I know. I'd love to have kids. I think I'd be a very good dad and I think I'd have a lot of wisdom to share. But even with age you'll just know, you'll just be with someone and you won't think about it. You'll just be like, 'I wanna have children with you and this just feels right'. From The Sun.co.uk
