Busted!!! Dencia pays Perez Hilton for publicity for her skin whitening cream?
USA based Nigerian/Cameroonian singer, Dencia has been getting a lot of
buzz in international media for her skin bleaching cream,
‘Whitenicious’. She has been featured in the Daily Mail, Ebony and
others for her cream which she recently claimed has made her over
1million dollars. She even went on to brag on social media that she
managed to achieve all that without paying a dollar for publicity.
She was recently featured on popular American blog, Perez Hilton and it appears she paid for the hype. Perez Hilton listed the feature on Dencia under ‘advertisement’ and ‘beauty buzz’. So is the Dencia paying for all the hype? Well if so i am waiting for my share…hahaha

And Iyanya Lied, About His N150million Endorsement Deal With Lenovo
According to thenetng.com
On February 6, 2014 Iyanya Mbuk announced to the world that he had bagged an endorsement deal, with yet another tech company, Lenovo. Investigations show that the Pop singer’s purported endorsement deal might be totally fabricated.
The ‘Le kwa ukwu’ singer posted a photo of himself carrying a Lenovo product, ‘Yoga Tablet’ on social network Instagram with the caption ‘New Product !!! New Ambassador !!! Brand Ambassador !!!! Lenovo !!!! Iyanya !!!! Task Direct 2014 Started #triplemg’.
Iyanya’s manager when reached on the phone confirmed the deal, claiming they made about N150M – N170M from the deal. ‘It’s true, it cost about N150 to N170 million and the duration is for 24 months’, Ubi Franklin told a NET correspondent over the phone.
While the Pop singer received congratulatory messages from fans across the world and several blogs reported the story, NET made investigations over the signing and discovered that there might never have been one, as Lenovo says they don’t know anything about the deal.
The news of the signing was quite surprising and puzzling: why would a PC/tablet/Smartphone producing company sign Iyanya who is currently a double ambassador for PC producing company Zinox Computers and smartphone company SOLO Phone? Wouldn’t there be conflicts of interest?
NET also reached out to Iyanya and Made Men Music Group label publicist over the signing, who unconvincingly explained to our reporter that Zinox Computers acts as a parent company to Lenovo in Nigeria.
Just as you guessed, that doesn’t make sense.
Lenovo is a Chinese multinational technology company with headquarters in Beijing, China, and Morrisville, North Carolina, United States. The company’s gross revenue in 2012 was $29.57b. In 2005, Lenovo acquired IBM’s personal computer business and in 2014 have agreed to acquire the mobile phone handset maker Motorola Mobility from Google for $2.91bn. We’re just trying to say they are ‘big boys’ in the tech world.
It is worthy of note that there was no official statement from Lenovo or photos from the alleged signing unlike with Zinox and SOLO Phones.
Skimming through the official Lenovo website, we noticed that the Nigerian section of the web page redirects to the South African page. NET contacted Lenovo South Africa who then directed us to a rep in Nigeria named Mr Olumide. Lenovo SA also say they are not aware of the deal.
Olumide told our editors over the phone that he was not aware of any signing with Iyanya and told us to call back.
‘I can’t really say on that. I don’t know anything; I don’t know who he is. Honestly I don’t know anything, maybe you should call him and ask him yourself’, Olumide told our correspondent over the telephone.
NET also reached Zinox Computers via e-mail and telephone but didn’t get any response from them. An e-mail sent to consultants for SOLO Phone was not replied neither was are text message responded to.
Further questions sent to Iyanya’s publicist over the signing via e-mail were not answered.
Interestingly, NET discovered that Zinox recently opened a new online and retail outlet in Gbagada, Lagos called Task Direct. According to the company’s Corporate Communications Adviser Uche Nnadozie, Zinox will sell tech products from brands like Dell, Lenovo, HP, Zinox, APC, Samsung, among others. Apparently, that’s as far as Iyanya’s ‘relationship with Lenovo goes.
Punch Newspaper reports that Zinox ambassador Iyanya will attend the grand opening of the store.
‘There’s no signing, Iyanya is just trying to bounce some hype around and get some mentions online, which he did‘, a source in MMMG camp tells NET.
Aviation Minister, And Three Other Minister Sacked
Nigeria’s Aviation Minister, Stella Oduah, Minister of Police Affairs, Caleb Olubolade; Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godsday Orubebe; and Minister of State for Finance, Yerima Ngama.
They were asked to resign to save them the humiliation of being sacked.
However, Ms. Oduah has been caught in a web of certificate scandals and a scandalous purchase of two BMW armored cars for $1.6 million.
Correspondent reported that Ms. Oduah and three other ministers within the Jonathan govt were relieved of their positions on the orders of Mr. Jonathan. However, their sack was passed off as voluntary resignation from the cabinet.
Late last year, we reported that Ms. Oduah had compelled the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) to pay Coscharis Motors, an auto dealer, approximately $1.6 million for two BMW bullet-proof cars.
Investigations by us showed that the highest cost for each such car in both the US and UK was $267,000 per car. NCAA and other sources further disclosed that the two cars were never delivered, compounding a scam by Ms. Oduah who reportedly split the $1.6 million funds with Cosmas Maduka, the chief executive of Coscharis.
PDP Crumbles in Rivers State as Top Politicians, Amaechi, Ikuru, Register With APC
The leadership of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers has declared Peoples Democratic Party in thestate dead and buried following the registration on Monday of Governor Rotimi Amaechi as an APC member, thus permanently terminating his relationship with the opposition PDP.
Commenting on the development, APC interim Chairman, Dr. Davies Ibiamu Ikanya described the registration of Governor Amaechi and his Deputy, Engr. Tele Ikuku for APC as “the final nail of PDP in Rivers State,” adding: “I hereby declare PDP dead and buried in Rivers State and never to rise again. The journey now begins for the total liberation of Rivers State and the entire Nigeria from the strangulating grip of PDP. Chief Nyesom Wike, Brother Felix Obuah, Mr. Jerry Needam and few misguided elements still left in the sinking ship of PDP can now go ahead to start their mourning session”
Governor Amaechi and his wife, Dame Judith Amaechi, registered at about 11am in his native Ubima at Ward 8, Unit 14, in Ikwerre Local Government Area of the State.
They were accompanied to Ubima for the registration exercise by several political heavyweights in the state, among them the Deputy Governor, Engr. Ikuru, the APC interim State Chairman, Dr. Ikanya, Hon. Igo Igoma (former member, House of Representatives), and Dr. Sam Jaja, former Deputy National Chairman of PDP – all of whom have already registered as APC members.
Governor Amaechi’s registration was preceded on Monday by that of the Deputy Governor, his wife, Dr. Mina Ikuru, and Dr. Ikanya himself, amongst others, who formally registered for APC at Ikuru Town in Ward 5, Andoni Local Government Area of the State.
Rivers State APC Interim Chairman described Engr. Tele Ikuru’s registration as very significant considering Ikuru’s relationship with PDP’s Deputy National Chairman, Chief Uche Secondus. According to him, “The Deputy Governor being the cousin of the Deputy National Chairman, his registration as an APC member is a powerful signal to the PDP that its days in our dear State are gone for good.”
Dr. Ikanya eulogized Engr. Ikuru, saying that “this epochal step taken by him, apart from exposing him as a true gentleman also shows him to be a loyal party man whose commitment and dedication to Governor Amaechi is a study in humility and forthrightness and should be emulated by all and sundry.” He added that with Ikuru in APC, Governor Amaechi can now go to sleep as he will bring to bear his winning streak that will formally bury PDP both in Andoni and Rivers State at large.
Dr Ikanya also commended and congratulated Rt Hon Amachree D. Otelemaba the Speaker of Rivers State House of Assembly, Distinguished Senator Magnus Abe Chairman Senate Committee on Petroleum Resources (Downstream), Distinguished Senator Wilson Ake, Hon. Chief Andrew Uchendu, The Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Petroleum Resources (Downstream), Dakuku Peterside, Hon. Dr. George Dawari, Hon. Ogbona Nwuke, Mr. George Feyi, Secretary to Rivers State Government (SSG) amongst other greats for registering and identifying with the mission of APC to rescue Nigerians from the hands of evil and undemocratic elements in PDP.
Dr. Ikanya concluded by urging those yet to register with APC to troop out and do so before the registration exercise ends on Wednesday as that will make them co-founders of the party, promising that the party would never let them down.
APC’s registration exercise differs from that of PDP that does its registration in the rooms of the bigwigs of the party to the detriment of majority of Nigerians.

Wiz Khalifa Poses with Wife & Son, Happy Family

Rihanna and Drake leave Another nightclub seconds apart from each other..but drive off in the same car
Rihanna and Drake sparked speculation once again that they may be dating after leaving a West Hollywood nightclub together on Friday evening.
The singers were spotted leaving Hooray Henry’s, on Beverly Boulevard, seconds apart from each other, but were spotted stepping into the same taxi.
Both were dressed in stylish, modest ensembles while huge bodyguards escorted them to the car.
The 25-year-old beauty was dressed in a stylish and demure ensemble for her night out, opting for a pair of black cigarette pants with leather knee caps, a black, knitted crop jumper, a black leather biker jacket and a pair of strappy stiletto heels.
She accessorised with a chunky gold choker, while fixing her newly, sleek raven locks loose and straight.
Finishing off the stylish look, Rihanna wore a thick coat of scarlet lipstick, black eyeliner and cheek bronzer.
Rihanna suited the more demure look, while so did rapper Drake, 27, who was also dressed in a relatively modest ensemble.
Drake opted for a bright red shirt, printed with the face of Bart Simpson, with a halo around his head, a pair of black trousers and black Timberland boots.
He sported the handsome, rugged look with some stubble while keeping his raven locks short and neat for the night out at the popular venue.
The pair did well to act like they had left the venue separately but were spotted by many bystanders entering the same taxi at the end of the night.
Rihanna only took to Twitter on Friday to wish the late Bob Marley a Happy Birthday writing: ‘#420 happy birthday BOB’
Last November Radar reported that both stars were seen at the VLive strip joint in Houston, splashing their cash as customers.
The site claimed that the pair spent a staggering total of $97,000 in cash during their stay at the club – however, that total was later refuted, as E! reported that total was nearer $17,000.
They were then seen a week later arriving at Bootsy Bellows at around 1am on on November 26 after the rapper performed in concert at the Staples Center Downtown.
In January, HollwoodLife.com exclusively reported that Rihanna and Drake were allegedly not ready for commitment.
‘Whatever happens between them, happens,’ a source close to the pair told the website.
‘They’re doing what they do on the low, and they like to keep it that way. They fill each other’s needs when they can, and that’s how they’re choosing to roll.’
The source added that the pair love seeing each other but do not want to settle down at this moment in their careers.
‘When Drake’s interested in a woman and ready be totally committed, he’s going to want at least six months off the bat just being alone with her so they can lay down some foundation. Right now, they both don’t have that time,’ they added.
