[caption id="attachment_3939" align="alignleft" width="500" caption="Albert Odulele"] [/caption] By Oganile Akinolurin/Gistmaster Albert Odulele, a 47 year old pastor based in the United Kingdom has confessed to sexual crimes. The shocking disclosure happened at the Bexley Magistrates Court in Bexleyheath, where the pastor is standing trial. Odulele, who is revered for his eloquence and carriage, confessed that he indecently assaulted a boy under 16 year old. He also did the same with another male who is slightly above 16. No one could say if Odulele had been doing it for a long time, but mothers within and outside the UK think it is a condemnable act for a man who is supposed to be a counselor and father to be doing such a thing. The 47 year old Pastor, who is also the leader of Glory House Church in east London would be sentenced at Woolwich Crown Court at a later date, said Metropolitan Police

It is definitely unusual to see a comedian angry. One comedian and event compere who is boiling so much with anger is Holy Malam. Gistmaster.com gathered that the handsome presenter had an agreement with Nira Audio Visual Company but the deal didn’t go as smooth as he had wanted it to be. The comedian claimed that Nira violated international statutory laws and guidelines guiding the replication of literary works. Holy Mallam also claims that the foreign company that was licensed and registered by the  Nigerian Copyright Commission breached  contract by delivering the work it was contracted to do 14 days after due delivery date and in the middle of the road and also infringed on copyright and destroyed public image that led to loss of Goodwill. Holly Mallam is demanding a sum of N10 million Naira from Nira Audio Visuals as damages for what he allegedly went through in the course of doing business with the company. -Gistmaster.com ?

Former Nigerian Idol Contestant, Tonii has released two singles barely two weeks after she exited the reality TV show. Both songs - "Iwo Ni Ma Ba lo" and "I Rule", solely written and composed by the artiste, clearly project her versatility in neosoul, rnb, pop and contemporary naija vibes (afro). It is therefore not a surprise that following her exit from the show, the media was filled with the buzz that Audu Maikori's Chocolate City which also parades stars like M.I, Jesse Jags and Ice Prince has indicated interest in offering her a record deal. While she was on show, Audu and the other judges constantly commended her musical range and vocal strength. In September 2010, just before she auditioned for the Nigerian Idol contest, Tonii thrilled friends, family and guests from the music industry and media agents at her debut performance held at De Marquee restaurant and lounge bar, an upscale entertainment and relaxation spot in Victoria Island, Lagos. The event wa...
