Tiwa Savage
‘Mama Jam Jam’ as she is fondly called by colleagues close to her has been in the news in recent times especially after a steamy stage performance with Wizkid.
The former female act of Mavin records according to fresh reports is set to share the same stage with iconic American R&B group, Boy II Men 2019 Flytime music festival, which is also the 15th year anniversary of the event.
Tiwa who is lined up as the headliner of the five-day event, which is to hold in Lagos, will also be performing alongside other music stars such as Megan Thee Stallion, Mase and Koffee, among others.
Godswill Akpabio
He is still the political supremo judging by how he was received at the recently staged anniversary celebration of the creation of Akwa Ibom State.
Akpabio (the incumbent Minister of Niger Delta Affairs) who had not attended any state event in recent times after he defected from Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to All Progressives Congress (APC) became a beautiful bride at the well attended anniversary celebrations.
Reports say that at the end of the Thanksgiving Service held at Ibom Hall Grounds in Uyo, thousands of youths besieged Akpabio’s convoy, singing and dancing along with him in a journey of about 10 minutes to his Ewet Housing Guest House where he was lodged.
Feelers say the reception accorded to Akpabio did not go down well with the incumbent, Governor Udom Emmanuel, as a public holiday, normally enjoyed on the following day of the anniversary, was canceled amidst allegation that it was to show displeasure for the support given to Akpabio.
Kenneth Okonkwo
It’s no news that the sequel to the 1992 classic, ‘Living in Bondage’ which is one of the most anticipated movies in 2019, is set to hit cinemas very soon.

Yinka Ayefele
After hoping to be a father for years, the gospel singer’s wish was finally answered when his wife gave birth triplets (two boys and a girl) on January 18, 2019.
However, Ayefele was too scared to share the good news with the world after his triplets were delivered at the Holy Cross Hospital in the United States, because he couldn’t believe his luck which prompted him to keep the good news under wraps for a while.
Celebrity Gist can reveal that the gospel singer who prayed to have just a child, got three in return after so many years of childlessness which prompted speculations surrounding the birth of his children.
