These days it appears, Erelu is devoting her time to supporting young people with vision. She doesn't have to know you personally.Once your vision is good, she would attend your event.

The girls did not have much opportunity to get 9ice off the hook.Toni Payne was there but I wouldn't tell if her eyes trafficated or not.

They did Gongo Aso,one of his hit tracks.I later learnt that Modella would be giving them clothes for that particular session on Friday.

In all 30 girls would be competing for the coveted crown of Most Beautiful Girl In Nigeria.They have been in camp at Kuramo Lodge of Eko Hotel & Suites for sometime now.We gathered they are three in a room.These would enable them get used to themselves before amd after the contest.

Don't let me forget to tell you that the anchor for this year's edition is Wild Child, the same guy that did it last year.

According to her, the opportunities are there and people are making the best use of it. Alot of creativity is being injected into the entertainment industry.That is why people from abroad now come back home to get involved.
Aside her entertainment programme on Brila FM, Oge is very passionate about children.She is involved with an NGO that is looking ways of alleviating the plights of street children. “A lot of these kids are not in the street by their own design. They are the ones feeding themselves. At the end, they get so frustrated and before you know it, they turn to criminals” she said.
She appealed to Nigerians at home and abroad to look for ways of helping children who are living under this condition so that they won’t turn out to hurt the society that fail to carter for them.
