"Why I put a leash on romance""-Ruggedman

Awww who would have thought Rugeddybaba has a soft side? In this interesting interview with Vanguard,he talks about romance, why he won't show it unless with the right woman and ofcourse..he's still single(Ladies,what are you waiting for)?

You seem not to be the romantic type?

Says who? I am very romantic when I’m with the right woman. Just like love and marriage, romance isn’t something I throw around.
I remember one St. Valentine’s day. I went to see my Val but I didn’t meet her at home. I tied a rose(a real one not plastic) to her door and wrote my initials on a paper. When she returned and saw it, she knew I was the one who put it there.

The incident that made me put my romance in check happened years ago too on another St. Valentine’s  day. I bought loads of gifts and  fifteen cards because I don’t like getting just one. I even booked an hotel room for dinner and all. All she did was say “you shouldn’t have done all these!” She didn’t even bring me a card. After that, I put a leash on my romance. She has to be worth it before I show her that side of me.

Can’t imagine a girl doing that to almighty Ruggedman.

No. At that time, it was just the start of my career. I hadn’t even recorded Baraje.

So how do you feel having experienced the other side of love?

I learnt that life goes on no matter what, and you need to know who you do things for.

Does that mean you don’t have anyone in your life?

Right now I don’t have anybody in my life. It’s been my work and me for a while now. Although it feels somehow sometimes, especially when I see couples out and about . But I find solace with the thought that the right person is out there for me.

So it means wedding bells isn’t ringing any time soon?

I guess so but I’m very happy it’s ringing for others and I pray their union stands the test of time.

But is it so hard to find the right woman?

I guess it is sometimes especially now that vanity rules. You find it hard knowing she is with you for you or your status.

It’s like you’ve really had hard times with ladies.

Not at all, the ladies love me and I love them right back. It’s getting the right one for me that’s the issue. A while ago, Bisi Ibidapo-Obe looked at me and said “Rugged, it’s not a curse but before you find a babe for you, it will be difficult.” She said I’m a fine man, successful artiste and so, women will come and it will be hard to know who is who. Now I understand what she meant but God is in control

For Real?Woman says there is an evil snake inside her tummy(Photo)

Maria Tsotetsi (49), from extension 28 in Vosloorus, east of Johannesburg, SA, says she has an evil snake inside her stomach. She said she has been told by several prophets and traditional healers that the reptile lives inside her.

Maria, who looks pregnant, said she was in hospital in 2011, where the doctors told her she had a growth.

"They told me I had lost blood and they wanted to operate on me but nothing happened after that. The nurses put me on drips but a few days later, they released me."

She said that her ex-boyfriend took her to a bishop after she complained about a pain in her stomach. The bishop told her to strip her of her clothes and gave her muthi (herbs) to steam. "The muthi was covered in a white and brown snake skin. The bishop said it would cure me," she said. But a few days later, she realised there was something in her body and her teeth started falling out.
"I believe the muthi made me lose my teeth. My boyfriend then dumped me after 14 years and I've been single ever since," she said. "I want him to come and remove the snake he put in my stomach. I believe he's responsible for this." She said she sometimes has her period for two weeks and it's so heavy she has to use nappies.

Traditional healer Ntsimbi Ngema said: "This kind of thing is done by jealous lovers. There's no way Maria could have a new boyfriend because he could die after having sex with her."

 A doctor who didn't want to be named said Maria could be suffering from all sorts of things, including kidney stones or gall stones.

A jealous female student of the Osun State Polytechnic, simply identified as Yetunde has been arrested by the police for pouring hot water on her boyfriend, Niyi Adelana shortly after his birthday.
The 19 year-old lady, Yetunde of Science Laboratory Technology (SLT) department was said to have poured hot water on Niyi because he invited other girls and failed to give her adequate attention during the birthday party held at Miracle Hall, BHS area in Iree.

It was gathered that Niyi who celebrated his birthday last Saturday was said to have invited some of his friends mostly ladies to his birthday party, a situation that did not go down well with his girlfriend, Yetunde.
However, when the party ended, Niyi made attempt to pacify his lover (Yetunde) but the angry girl was furious and eventually poured boiled water on him. The agonized boy screamed and this drew the attention of other students in the hostel to the scene.

The incident took another unfortunate dimension as Niyi’s ailing father; Pa Adelana who was receiving medical treatment in a hospital in Abeokuta, Ogun State gave up the ghost immediately he received the news that his son was bathed with hot water.

The Police Public Relation Officer for Osun State Police Command, DSP Folasade Odoro confirmed the incident in a chat with Daily Trust correspondent.
She noted that investigation is still going on and that after diligent investigation; the girl will be charged to court.
When contacted for reaction, the Public Relations Officer of the institution, Mr. Tope Abiola said that the incident took place outside the school premises and that the management could not do anything about it. He said “It’s very unfortunate and we sympathize with the victim and his parents. It’s a criminal act and very unfortunate”.

La Casera Speaks: 'There is NO bleach in La Casera'

 

As a follow-up to my post about the rumor going around in some quarters that La Casera contains bleach chemical last Thursday, I was invited to the company's office in Lagos by its Management. 

While there, I discovered that La Casera is INDEED produced under the highest hygienic standards and no bleach is included in the production process.

“Our integrity stands,” assured the company’s quality assurance manager, Adeku Emmanuel, while taking me on an official tour of the La Casera production facilities yesterday.

  

He said the company was committed to customer satisfaction, and would do nothing to jeopardise the trust it had built with the public over the years. “We give customers the best quality and that’s why we have continued to grow strong all this years,” he strongly highlighted.

Also speaking during the tour, the General Manager of the company, Mr. Gary Carlton, further substantiated Adeku’s assertion, as he said even the Director-General of the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON), Dr. Joseph Odumodu, who visited La Casera a couple of weeks ago, was highly impressed with what he saw.

To make a long story short, you have heard from the makers of La Casera that the bleach saga is just a false rumor ignited by God knows who. Stay tuned to my blog to clarify issues like this and I guarantee keeping you informed!

Life and Business Lessons From MTN Project Fame West Africa By Kehinde Ajose

You don’t have to   be a project fame West Africa participant to be able to maximize and turn loose the lessons inherent in the   reality TV show. People miss out on the a life time opportunity to transform their lives  when they just see the show as an entertainment medium without viewing it as a platform to learn and be  educated about what life is about. Here are few lessons you adopt from MTN ‘S project Fame West Africa and adapt to your various lives pursuits. Let’s go!

1. Be exceptional

The contestants who made it through the auditions didn’t just scale through by the fact that they possessed talent, but by the fact that they were exceptional. During the auditions the judges were not just looking for someone who can sing…but someone who has the ‘X factor’. The same is true for any of life’s endeavor. Whether you are in showbiz or playing the game of business, it’s your differentiation that will stand you out. It’s your distinctiveness that makes you sought after .You need to constantly emphasize your ‘Wow factor ‘and amplify it. Iyanya’s   door into the Nigerian music mainstream was opened as a result of his ability to change his music recipe and connect to what people truly want.

2. Be You.

The most successful performers on Project Fame West Africa are ultimately themselves. Even when they perform other artistes’ song, they still   inject their own originality and authenticity. These individuals are often applauded for bringing in their own style, verve, and distinctiveness into any song they perform. Can you say this about yourself or your business? Your originality is your greatest asset. Everybody may be singing the same song, but you have to inject your own tune into the song. Never   turn off the light of your authenticity.

3. Be open to correction

 

 From the faculty to the judges, they constantly implant constructive criticism into the minds of the contestants. Any contestant who doesn’t adhere to their corrections, and take note of their criticisms will not go far in the  competition. The business of life is a competition with several people jostling for what you want, therefore if you refuse to be teachable and be open to the feedbacks you get from your dealings with   clients, customers, and associates. Ask questions, listen and learn

4. Be Engaging.

Project Fame West Africa contestants who emerge the winners are individuals who involve and engage their audience whenever they perform. They draw the audience into their performance, excite them and go after their votes with everything they’ve got. Are you connecting with your clients like this? Successful businesses  know what their audience      want. It’s not   enough for you to know what you want, you have to know what your audience knows and   constantly meet their needs.  Business is   not about you, it’s about your audience. What step are you taking in order to engage your audience   and connect to their needs?

5. Be Consistent.

 Project Fame West Africa contestants   who thrive during the competition and in the real music world are known to be consistent at performing excellently. What separates them from the others is that they constantly give their best and offer the best performances. In life it is not what you do occasionally that matters, but what you do consistently. Rendering an excellent service today and offering a mediocre one tomorrow won’t make you a rock star in your field. You need to constantly do things that are relevant and distinct and doing them over and over again. That is the secret of Chidinma’s   wide acclaim in the music industry. Consistency is   established by what is called predictable excellence. This means excellent experience people derive from doing business and associating with your personal brand.

What   is required   to emerge as the winner in MTN’s Project Fame West Africa, is the least required to thrive in the real music industry. You need to constantly reinvent yourself in business and in life in order to be inducted on life’s hall of fame. Go make it happen
