Contrary to wide spread reports that Nollywood actress, Ini Edo would be having a talk of the town wedding with boyfriend, Phillip Ehiagwina in Nigeria, high wired sources have disclosed that there is nothing of such plans on their cards for now.
The star actress and her US based lover have been rumored to be planning a show stopping white wedding for September 2008.Informed sources close to the two love birds said they may have plans but surely, nothing like that is going to happen in September as speculated in the media. One of them said, “Forget whatever you hear or read elsewhere, Ini and Phillip are not planning any wondrous wedding show in September”.
The source was however, silent on the purported traditional do between both families at the end of this month.
On the other hand, the source told http://www.niyitabiti.blogspot.com/ that the Akwa Ibom state born actress is totally different from the wrong identity that a lot of her detractors are spreading about town. According to the source, Ini is cool and down to earth but highly misunderstood. Ini who is currently holidaying in the US is due to return to Nigeria any moment from now. We gathered that Phillip has been spoiling her silly with the good things of life. On the other hand, Ini is also said to be pampering herself by shopping for the best designer collections. According to our findings, the new Ini would be a totally re-branded one.
The two have been rumoured to be planning the wedding since last year shortly after their romance and engagement became public knowledge.Initially, rumour mill was agog that their wedding was to take place first quarter of this year.

Less than four months after www.niyitabiti.blogspot.com broke the news that model cum Nollywood actress, Chika Ike Ebireri opened Trej Classic, a one in town restaurant in Akowonjo area of Lagos State, Nigeria, she has decided to crown it with a night club and pool bar.
The chic, (ably supported by her husband who is a brand manager in one of Nigeria's leading banks) is sure that the club would definately become the meeting point for big boys and babes within and outside the vicinity.
The actress confirmed this to www.niyitabiti.blogspot.com recently. She also took us round the new club which is situated on the same building with her restaurant. The University of Lagos undergraduate said the increasing demand for a befitting hangout with state of the art facilities within Dopemu, Akowonjo and Egbeda axis of Lagos State and her passion for the business made her invest money and time into it.
“Most people within the environ need not travel several hours to Victoria Island, Ikoyi or Surulere just to get maximum fun.We are brining it to them in their neighbourhood. Celebrities will also be here due to popular demand by fans.”
The official opening of the hangout and pool bar has been officially slated for later this month. At the time of writing this report, Chika is shooting a movie with other stars in far away Awka, Anambra State.
