"I met my Colombian girlfriend on instagram" IK Ogbonna reveals

Actor and model IK Ogbonna has revealed how he met his Colombian bombshell girlfriend Sonia Morales. According to what he said on Trending TV show which I just watched, he met Sonia on instagram a few months ago while he was trolling the picture sharing site after a bitter break up. He said he was going through a tough time after the break up and decided to seek solace on instagram and that was when he took notice of Sonia after a friend drew his attention to her instagram page.

He said he began to like all her pictures and was surprised when Sonia also started liking his own instagram pics. He eventually left her a comment asking where they'd go from there. After flirting for a little while, they exchanged BB pins and Sonia eventually came down to Nigeria to see him. She hasn't gone back since then. She wants to die there...lol. Cute couple!

Abuja's deliciously mouth-watering suya spot, opens 2nd outlet in Garki

One thing the majority of people that have patronised Jamal's Grilled Chicken or JGC to its die-hard fans, agree with is that their suya flavour is a departure from the generic grilled chicken suya tastes you will find in most of the suya spots in Abuja. 

Their flavour is so unique and appealing. No wonder they were able to grow in leap and bounds in such a short time, thanks largely to a dedicated customer base and JGCs desire to make their chicken suya available to suya lovers in more neigbourhoods.

Former beauty queen and architect Kessiana Salubi dies at 34

Not many of you will know her but she was quite popular many years ago. Her death is shocking to me personally because we used to be friends when we were both students in UNILAG, though I hadn't seen or spoken to her in a while. Kessiana Salubi was a model, Miss UNILAG 2001, first runner up Miss Nigeria 2002, an Architect and an Interior Designer.

She died on Friday November 7th in her sleep. According to a family source, she came back from an outing, had dinner, had a bath and went to bed in her Lekki home. She didn't wake up the next morning. She was just 34 years old. She's survived by her parents and siblings. May her beautiful soul rest in peace. Amen.
