Media personality, Toke Makinwa, in a new interview with New Telegraph, has revealed that she has been getting lot of offers to turn her best selling book ‘On Becoming’ into a film.

She said;

“We have been getting offers to adapt the book into a film; we’re just taking our time. We’re basking in all of them, the tours, the sales and all of it. Surprisingly, Nigerians read a lot, and the records are there to show for it. The feedbacks and love are beyond measures. I never imagined the book to be this successful. I am thankful to God for the vision and also, the strength to go through it, because, to whom much is given, much is expected. I will let you know if there’s going to be visuals as time goes on.
On Becoming’ is an open ending title, so it’s definitely going to be a series of many books to come. My next book could be ‘On Becoming a Media Mogul’ ‘On Becoming a Wife’ ‘On Becoming a Mother’. I am really excited at the way my career is going and the events happening around. I am putting pen to paper, so you never know what next I might be sharing with the world”

Nollywood actress Damilola Adegbite who is married to actor, Chris Attoh, has revealed that her son, Brian Attoh, momentarily stopped breathing during birth and had to be in the ICU for days.

She revealed this via her Instagram birthday message for her son who clocked three on August 31, 2017. She also posted a picture of little Brian in ICU after his birth.

See her post below;

“My joy and pride I remember a moment when I was about to have you. We couldn’t hear your heartbeat for quite a number of seconds.

One of the nurses tried her best to look calm but I could tell she was afraid. That must have been the longest I ever held my breath…and then suddenly, we heard your little heart beating loud and clear!

I was only allowed a few seconds to hold you after I met you, and then you were put in the ICU for days afterwards.

I serve The living God and because I am sure he will never fail me, I speak long life, prosperity, good health and happiness into your life. You will enjoy ALL the blessings of the Lord in the land of the living and you will find immense favour amongst all men and our God.

Happy 3rd birthday son. Mummy loves you too much. #first fruits.”

Ms Chimamanda Adichie, the young Nigerian accomplished writer and author has been honoured with the ‘Doctor of Letters’ degree at the University of Edinburgh Scotland, United Kingdom. The honorary doctorate degree was presented to the writer by the university’s Principal and Vice Chancellor, Professor Sir Timothy O’Shea, at a special ceremony at the school’s St Cecilia’s Hall – Scotland’s oldest concert hall. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie At the ceremony, O’Shea stated that the award was given in recognition of Ms Adichie’s achievements as an author and public intellectual. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on July 5, 2017 received a similar honorary doctorate degree in recognition of his achievements as a public servant with strong commitments to equality and diversity.

Following the award presentation, head of the Scottish government, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, interviewed Chimamanda about her work and ideas at an event at Edinburgh International Book Festival in association with the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences at the University. Earlier in the year, Adichie was elected as a Foreign Honorary Member into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and bagged another honorary degree from Haverford College, Pennsylvania in the United States of America in May 2017.

“It is lovely to be in this place, which is hallowed. I feel very fortunate to be included among the people who have been honoured with a degree from this University,” Adichie said.

Proposing Adichie for the award of the degree, Dr Barbara Bompani, Director of the Centre of African Studies, said there are many stories of the influence that Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s work has had on the lives, thoughts and creativity of others. According to the director of the Centre of African Studies, Dr Barbara Bompani, Chimamanda, through her writing, advocacy and public engagement, “inspires all of us to better understand our own, and other peoples’ stories.”

During her visit, Chimamanda met with a group of African students participating in a scholarship programme at the university.

RnB/Pop icon Beyonce has pledged her support to the victims of Hurricane Harvey in Houston, where she is from.

According to Houston Chronicle, Beyonce said she’s working closely with her foundation BeyGOOD to work out a plan.

She said:

My heart goes out to my hometown, Houston, and I remain in constant prayer for those affected and for the rescuers who have been so brave and determined to do so much to help.

I am working closely with my team at BeyGOOD as well as my pastor (Rudy Rasmus at St. John’s in downtown Houston) to implement a plan to help as many as we can.

BeyGOOD was launched in 2013 during the Mrs. Carter World Tour. It partners with global charity organizations to get people employed and provide clothing, housing, food and other philanthropic provisions.

Meanwhile, TMZ reported that Beyonce’s pastor in Houston, said that Beyonce has been silently making great impact in Houston without declaring it to the world.

Read TMZ‘s post below;

”Beyonce doesn’t name names or drop dollar amounts, but she’s still having a huge impact in Houston … with the help of her longtime pastor.

Rev. Rudy Rasmus from St. John’s United Methodist Church told TMZ how he and Bey are mobilizing to help Hurricane Harvey victims, but added she commonly keeps her charitable efforts undercover. Might sound weird, but he says Beyonce’s just not flashy … that way.

Remember, Kevin Hart called out Bey and Jay-Z to donate to $25k. There are also rumors she’s already given $7 million, but Pastor Rudy — who performed the Carters’ wedding — says don’t expect her to confirm any of that.  

As for what he and Bey are doing for evacuees … he explained what Houston’s going to need most in the coming days.”

Actress, Onyii Alex, has come out to defend Nigerian women after a Nigerian man put up a photo of MMA fighter Connor McGregor, citing a supposed history of the fighter with a woman who allegedly helped him when he was a nobody. The Nigerian man asked this question:

“Do y’all think Nigerian ladies can support a man like this without nagging and bragging about what she did for you blah blah blah.”

Check out Onyii’s opinion:

”Reality Check!!! Nigerian women have always and still continue to stay and stick by their men during their down and low times. Naturally, the Nigerian girl has been groomed to be loyal to a man through thick and thin. The question should be; when our men finally make it up the ladder, do they reciprocate that loyalty to their women? Or do they jettison the lady who has stuck out their necks for them for years and jet off with the Molato, Kim-Kardashian-shaped, Beyonce-looking, Blac China-contured kinda girls. They instantly erase the memory of that dexterous and resilient girl that stood by them every step of their struggling lives….Matter-of-factly, there are myriads of Nigerian women who are bread winners in their homes with their husbands being well and alive but never say a word of it…”
