WELCOME TO THE MONTH OF LOVE

I welcome you to February, the month of love. I would just advise that whatever you do, let it be done with love. So many people think that Valentine is all about sex, sex and sex.Someone needs to have a re-think here.
Last year, i followed a friend to his girlfriend's place in Unilag.I saw this babe crying...sorry,she was actually weeping.We later learnt that she was ashamed that her man failed to turn up after bragging to her friends.Please,if you know your man is not stable,please,run away from the room.
I don’t have a Val yet but I am confident that I would not be left out of the whole show. Personally, I would love to visit an Italian restaurant in the afternoon and a live band setting in the evening.
Where and how do you intend to celebrate it? What is your idea of a great Val outing?Do you think sex should be the peak of the day's celebration?
Whatever you think,Valentine is 13 days away from now and a lot of guys have started saving.

Apart from Dr.Tunde Soleye and Nike Oshinowo’s romance, the hottest gist that is spreading like wild fire in Lagos is the alleged romantic relationship between Bisola Dejonwon,a niece to Alhaji Rasaq Akanni Okoya and handsome dude,Hakeem Muri-Okunola(He is a scion of respected jurist, late Justice Muri Okunola).
Bisola whom many call “transcorp big girl” is beautiful and smart but many people are against the liaison because Hakeem is married.Coincidentally, the name of Hakeem’s wife is also Bisola and they got married in a high society wedding in 2001.
A few friends, however, disclosed that there is no way Wosilat Okoya-Badmus would allow her daughter to be a second wife. At the wedding of Alhaji Rasaq and Sade, we saw the two of them chatting and Bisola was obviously very happy. She laughed as she plays with Hakeem’s phone.Earlier in the day,she was very strict at the entrance while checking through invitation cards of guests.
Sometimes, I wonder what is in a name.Is Hakeem going to be falling in love with everyone that bears Bisola? Check out Bolaji Saheed,K1 the Ultimate Close associate who fell 'flat'in love with star actress,Bukky Wright the other time.The name of his real wife based in Canada is also Bukky.A friend once told me he had three girlfriends and they all bear Barbara!

Peace Fiberesima Anyam-Osigwe, the chief executive officer (ceo) of African Movie Academy Award (AMAA) has called us to clarify issues concerning the allegations of breach of contract and the N2.6 million Naira (about $22,000) Adstrat alleged she owes them.
http://www.niyitabiti.blogspot.com/ met her this afternoon (31 January 2007) at her Lagos office. Peace informed that she does not want to give chances to a war of words between them. "I think the reasons why the said amount is still unpaid is because of some things that needed to be cleared in the account department.The two organizations are still sorting things out"
“We are friends. The fact that my company have problem with his company does not mean we won’t be friends again” she said with a smile.
“There was nothing like a breach of contract. The contract says “October 2006 to October 2007.Now, it has ended and we needed to move on. They tried in terms of re-startegizing and rebranding last year. This year, we are not doing any of such. We are okay with what we already have on ground.
Soulcomms, the new company he talks about, is not into all that. What they do is publicity, event and sponsorship”, she added.
