True Confession: “I Will Consider Plastic Surgery If…” Omosexy

Following the successful premier of her own reality TV show, “Omotola: The Real Me”, the sultry actress has continued to win more hearts not only for her talent and successful marriage – in an era where others are crumbling like a pack of cards, but also for her almost flawless good looks.

But if her recent confession is anything to go by, Omosexy, as she is fondly called, may have courted the ire of Nigerians who see her as a typical example of natural, undiluted African beauty.
The stunning award winning actress is quoted to have said, in response to a question on if she would ever consider going under the surgeon’s knife, “Seriously I am thinking about it. I have four kids. That has taken its toll on my body.
“I am not against plastic surgery as long as you’re not doing it for extremely vain reasons. If you need it, you should do it.
“If I see any irregularities in my body that I cannot control, I will do it” she concluded.

“Alamieyeseigha is Jonathan’s benefactor” – PDP

The stakeholders in the Bayelsa State chapter of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) in a show of support for President Goodluck Jonathan, yesterday affirmed that he is the leader of the party in the state.
They also declared that his former running mate Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, was the President’s political benefactor.
The stakeholders at a caucus meeting of members held in Government House, declared Jonathan as leader of the party in the state. The motion which was adopted by 28 members of the party’s caucus after a motion initiated by Senator Emmanuel Paulker, was sponsored by Bayelsa Governor Seriake Dickson.
The President in his speech urged aggrieved members to sheathe their swords in order to move the party forward. He denied allegations of bias and preference for some candidates for elective positions in the state.
He said: “I don’t want to be in Abuja and be seen as influencing political contestants; I will not condescend to get myself in the selection of candidates, I’m not interested, because it won’t be fair since leadership is all about hierarchy.”
He reminded the people that politics should be an avenue to serve the people and not a battlefield to settle scores.
Governor Dickson on his part said, the meeting was a new beginning in the state chapter of the party, as the era of acrimony and discord was over.
Calling for unity among members, Dickson said: “The most important challenge Bayelsa State has had to contend with is the issue of mobilizing support for President Jonathan, which is why we want to convene this meeting once every quarter.
On the forthcoming local government poll in the state, Dickson stated that the party was ready, while advising party supporters to avoid actions capable of jeopardizing the peace and tranquility in the state.
