Segun Toriola is Africa’s most-decorated table tennis player.

He won his first game on Saturday when he defeated defeated Canada’s Andre Ho 4-1 in the Olympic men’s Table tennis.

But yesterday at the North Arena of ExCel Centre, Quadri’s dream of equaling Segun Toriola’s feat at the Olympics was halted by Turkey’s Bora Vang in the second round encounter.
Quadri led 2-0 before he was rounded off by the world number 71 Turk for the match to end 6-11, 10-12, 12-10, 11-2, 12-10, 12-10 (4-2). Fans’ favourite, Quadri, initially threatened another shock victory against Vang, only to falter.
The Nigerian, who has enjoyed cult following at the ExCeL Arena, moved into a 2-0 lead before losing the next four games, three of which were extremely tight. It was Vang’s recovery that beat the effervescent Nigerian in a contest that delighted the crowd at the venue.


Nevertheless, Segun Toriola, you are still a winner.....;)

Encomium magazine- Stephanie Adie Henshaw has never been married before Reverend Christopher Okotie


What's yout take on this?This is what has been on social network for a while now;

Close friends, Stephanie Adie Henshaw has never been married before Reverend Christopher Okotie in the true sense of the word, according to Encomium magazine.
Stephanie’s first love before Okotie came into the picture was a young man she met through a friend in Lagos. With no intention of marriage, being quite young then, the innocent Calabar girl, unfortunately got pregnant for the man.

She was still carrying his baby when he was shot to death in Surulere, Lagos. The tragic death of Stephanie’s hat would happen to her years after.
“The pain they inflicted on Stephanie after the death of the father of her fisrt child was unbearable. One day, she was invited by the man’s people to know how the child was faring. And before she knew what was happening, they took custody of the child. She never set eyes on the boy until two, three years ago,” a highly reliable source told ENCOMIUM Weekly.

Jude Ibezim Osemeke needs your help!

An appeal from Jude's family;
Mr Ibezim Jude Osemeke to appeal to your good conscience to assist us in sponsoring him for overseas medical treatment. About four months ago, Ibe suddenly developed hearing impairment, change in voice and severe headache and weakness of the body. He was seen at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital by a neurosurgeon who then requested for a CT Scan of the Brain. The report indicated that Ibe has brain tumour called Chordoma. The neurosurgeon then advised him to seek medical attention abroad.

68-year-old soul singer, Gladys Knight says “I would knock Paris’s (Michael Jackson’s daughter) teeth out”



Feud: Paris remonstrates with Janet at the Jackson Calabasas compound earlier this week. Janet called Paris a 'spoiled little b****' while Paris shot back: 'This is our house. Not the Jackson family house. Get the f*** out!'

Gladys Knight (a friend of the family) has weighed into the Jackson family feud - insinuating 14-year-old Paris needs to pipe down and learn some respect for her elders.

Janet Jackson is 46 years while Paris is only 14years……what’s your take on this?
