Beyoncé, Rihanna, Kanye West, Madonna, Nicki Minaj, Chris Martin, Calvin Harris, Jason Aldean , and many more artists were at the launch yesterday ( click here if you missed it ) and this morning Madonna is responding to reports of Tidal being a front for illuminati. She wrote on Instagram: If you refer to Tidal as Illuminati, you are paying us the highest of compliments.

Some of you complain I no longer post readers mails. But when there no ‘interesting’ ones nko? Or atleast moving stories. Well a married LL reader who says she is a full house wife and her husband wouldn’t let her work sends a mail in and I thought I should post. Nobody should abuse me ho, it is what they send that I will post now.     My name is Caroline. I got married to the man I love and we are blessed with two kids. The problem is that my husband does not take good care of me. I am always staying at home – full house wife. I relied on my husband for everything but I don’t like it.

Lately, my husband has been acting strangely and refused to provide all my needs.  Should I start having an extra marital affair because I know some guys who are wealthy and are ready to date me but I was t...

Prince Tonye Princewill is the governorship candidate of the Labour Party, LP, in Rivers State. After a closed door meeting with all my local government representatives and an extended stakeholder engagement within my party, it is our official position that the senate and house of representative elections conducted on the 28th of March where largely neither free nor fair and were not in accordance with laid down electoral procedures. We will therefore be rejecting a large number of the national assembly results we participated in. The evidence to buttress the tribunal cases is now being collated and a team of 5 SANs, co-ordinated by the Rivers State party chairman, Prince Favour Reuben is being deployed to ensure we secure justice. Our national assembly candidates trusted that INEC and the security agencies would protect them and provide for them a level playing field, but it was a surprise to see that not only did they not do so, their processes and equipment left them e...

I don't shake hands with women- RSUST Best graduating student says Falola Ajumobi, who was adjudged the Best Graduating student at the recently held 27th convocation ceremony of the Rivers state University of Science and Technology, RSUST, says one of the things he had to do to achieve his academic feat was to distance himself from women. He said he doesn't even shake hands with women. Huh?. Falola, who graduated as a Petroleum Engineer with a CGPA of 4.82 says he was also very religious while on campus "There is no way students of the opposite sex would not have passed glances at me. But I am a very religious person; I don’t shake hands with ladies and right from time, they know me for that. So, the only thing is that we greet from a distance. That does not mean that we do not crack jokes because that has made them to know me" he told Punch
