How time flies?Do you remember Ayo Adesanya, the actress that used to be the talk of the town some years back?She was noticeable everywhere and had been linkd with most business tycoons and fuji musician,Wasiu Alabi Ajibola popularly known as Pasuma.In those days Ayo's eyes could knock a Mr.Universe off within seconds.

Ayo is still in the movie industry but not much is seen or heard about her.The few times www.niyitabiti.blogspot.com has seen her in public, she appears only in company of her husband,Gogo Hassan.I love their romantic style but we believe they need a skin doctor fast!

Chude, the only child of the deceased was ably supported by friends who travelled in chartered vehicles to Delta State.Chude, a lawyer by training was showing off as a 'brave man' until it was internment time.He wept uncontrollably. People around were also moved to tears in sympathy.
Apart from the burial, it was an interesting trip to Obokpa.He roved until we got into the palmwine hut.Watch out for the gist on this blog.
Chude is a nice guy and he got the support from us.I would have stayed back because of the death of Late Baba Adinni of Nigeria,Alhaji Wahab Iyanda Folawiyo that day but...Chude means so much to alot of us.I would have dashed to his Queens Drive,Ikoyi because he was also buried on that same friday.Unfortunately, I couldn't locate a cybercafe in Obokpa. Lagos ladies are already talking about what they call 'party of the decade' that would happen later.Trust, we will bring you all the pictures once a choose the date. Abah ( the favorite wife of the late Baba Adinni and mother of Segun Awolowo jnr) would no doubt miss her husband a great deal.Folawiyo would have been 80 in 8 days times. Adieu Baba Adinni!

Remember we kept you very much to date when the screening for new VJs on Soundcity, a top music channel on various television stations in Nigeria.Those who were eventually picked and the old hands that were ratained were formally unveiled to the press last Sunday at Jade Chinese Restaurant in Victoria Island,Lagos.
Some of those who made the list are Pearl,Titi Adelagun,Derele (retained),S.Dot (retained) and Yinka.
Chinwe was,however, dropped.We spoke with the Chinwe and she said there was no problem.She,however,confirmed that she is still with Soundcity as a presenter. It was a night of glitz and humour.The VJ's also used the opportunity to answer questions on their expectations.There was also a dinner.
That night, I saw former Managing Director of Nigerian Breweries,Festus Odinmegwu.He came to have dinner with a 'friend'.I also saw Donald Duke,former governor of Cross River State.He came to hangout with a friend.
