Naija Entertainment Gists + Nigeria-Ghana Business Summit

Kate Henshaw Nuttall, Modenine join Soundcity TV as presenters: Nollywood top actress Kate Henshaw Nuttall and one of Naija's best rap MC's modenine have joined Naija's only 24 hours Music TV station, Soundcity, as presenters. Kate presents a segment called 'City Of Divas' where they play a variety of music videos from female artistes, while Modenine is getting ready to present a segment called 'Who Gat The Rhymes'

Also rapper 2shot and Rhythm 93.7 radio presenter turned rapper Kemistry, now present MTV Base on STV. I particularly find the duo presenting the one hour programme unnecessary and annoying. STV, you dont need presenters for MTV Base. I hope someone from there reads this...

The search of her car was said to have taken some minutes while she stood aside calmly, watching. It was obvious that the policemen didn't know who she was...it must be great being Genevieve Nnaji. No policeman will stop that girl...they'll only wink or ask for an autograph when they see her...

Rugged man has joined the list of jeep owners. On May 10th 2007, he took delivery of a brand new Nissan Morano jeep. He replaced his Honda IV-Tech for the Morano jeep.
