She gave me a lead into a story on hip hop singer, Soul E She hinted that Nigeria’s most controversial hip hop couple, Emmanuel Okose, popularly known as Soul E and his better half, Queen Ure Okezie seems to be taking their church project seriously.

We gathered that it is now stale story in town to identify Mr.Nigeria with Titi.Sources disclosed that the title of ‘My Fiancee’ which Brian used in describing the model fondly call Titi Fanta has ceased to exist. The funny part is that shortly after Brian became the winner of the Mr.Nigeria title last year at Silverbird Galleria, Titi also contested for the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria at Eko Hotel and Suites. The contest is also an annual peagent put together by Silverbird Productions.She represented Lagos.Unfortunately, she did not make the last 5 on the list.
