SHOCKER ! THE REAL STORY OF SPAIN BASED HOMOSEXUAL DAPO ADARALEGBE--THE SEVERAL NIGERIAN BIG SHOTS HE SLEPT WITH
Since his pictures surfaced on Facebook last week,the social network has been agog with comments on Dapo(Stephanie)Adaralegbe,the trans-sexual ex Obafemi Awolowo University undergraduate who was chased out of school in his second year over his homosexual tendencies.
Dapo who has changed his appearance to that of a girl and now lives in Spain claimed he(she) graduated from O.A.U and indeed the most popular girl between 1995 and 2001.
About nine years ago in an interview he granted a leading softsell magazine,Dapsy Baby as he(she) is popularly called spoke on his life as a trans-sexual,how he is a woman trapped in a man’s body and his ordeal as a student of O.A.U.
It is quite interesting….
I was studying Law at the Obafemi Awolowo University,(OAU),Ife.
I am of the 1995 set,but I had to leave school in 2001 because of pressures.People were too harsh on me;they did not understand me at all.
When I was in school,the school authorities got to know that I slept with my fellow male students.There was an incidence before when I had to be admitted in the hospital.I was bleeding from the anus and I had bad pile arising from sexual intercourse.
When the school got to know the kind of person I was,they sent me to a Guidance Counselor.Professor Roger Makanjuola,the current Vice Chancellor,who took care of me.You know he is renowned Psychiatrist. He handled all issues relating to psychiatry with me.
He said I was okay and that nothing was wrong with my preferences,sexual-wise.He said it was just because I lived in an environment that did not tolerate that kind of behavior.
He recommended me to another Guidance Counselor but I did not follow up.Even at that,there seems to be very little assistance one can get medically here.
This kind of phenomenon is not common and there are no experts vast in handling such issues here.
After a time,I tried going back to school but they told me I have stayed too long away from the system.I applied to change to UNILAG and OAU authorities promised to assist with my transcripts,but they did not send it early,that was how I lost the chance of changing to UNILAG.
HOW I BECAME A HOMOSEXUAL
I know this will shock you but I started having sex at the age of six(6)years.I had this cousin of mine who used to bring his friend to our house.He was the first to make love to me.I am now 26,but that is not the question.
Since I was small,I realized that I had this feeling that I was a woman.I used to paint myself up and wear girls’ clothes.Nobody stopped or cautioned me.
My mother is dead.She died when I was 11 years old.My father has other wives and no one particularly bothered about me.I am the last child of my mother,she had four of us.
THE MEN I HAVE SLEPT WITH
I told you I started having sex at the age of six,but no one in my family noticed the problem until I was 14 years old.
My father is a Professor of Education.My mother was also a Professor in the same discipline.When my dad got to know,I think he was among the people who made Professor Makanjuola to examine me.
The truth is that I had gone too far,and I don’t want to talk about my family in this issue.
I have slept with a lot of people but my problem is that they were not faithful to me.
They were not committed;we just have sex and they go away.
I wish to have a committed partner,that is why I have been trying to get a real lover,one that will care about me.
In the alternative, I will like to relocate abroad where my kind exist.
In the University, I had several lovers but they were not serious.I have several men that I sleep with,I won’t mention their names.They cut across the low and highly placed,just let’s leave it at that.What I want is a committed partner.
If I had a choice between getting cured and going for a surgery that will change my sex to a woman,I will prefer becoming a full woman.
I am already a Trans-sexual,the difference between me and other homosexuals is that while they just have the preference for sleeping with fellow men,I feel that I am a woman;I feel that someone should be making love to me the way men do to women.
Since I started having sex,I am usually the female,the dormant partner.But do you know that right now,I need two things;a lover that is commited to me or help me to relocate out of this country.

N700M Homosexuality Suit: Asa Absent in Court
Nigerian singer Bukola Elemide, better known as Ásà was missing at a court hearing today, over a N700m lawsuit brought by her against a celebrity magazine.
Asa, in a suit ‘Bukola Elemide & Another VS Dockland Communications Services’, is suing News of the People over an article published in 2010 insinuating that she is a lesbian.
Dockland Communications Services are the publishers of the weekly publication News of the People.
The 29-year-old, who was represented by her legal counsel Abraham & CO. before a Lagos High Court presided over by Justice A.J Coker on Thursday, February 23, 2012, stated that the publication was defamatory, and prayed the court to award damages in the above-mentioned sum.
However, the judge was unable to make any ruling, as neither Asa nor her manager Janet Nwose were in court when the defendant’s counsel requested their presence for questioning. Reportedly, they are currently in France, which is Asa’s home base.
‘My lord, my client is indisposed; I plead for you to adjourn the case to a later date’, the claimants’, lawyer Mena Ajakpovi said.
The defendants’ counsel Yinka Muyiwa wasn’t happy with the plea, citing an earlier claim from the duo stating that they were actually performing at a gig in France. The judge however ruled for the case to be adjourned until April.
The saga began in 2010, when News of the People published an article stating that Asa was a lesbian, but, through their counsel, the publication says they have done no wrong, as they culled the story from an online publication.
However, despite repeated requests from us, they have failed to name the originators of the story.
The first hearing took place on November 22, 2010 at the High Court of Lagos State, Ikeja Judicial Division.
‘The issue pertaining to she being a lesbian is already in the eye of the public’, Yinka Muyiwa told our source
‘And as a report coming from a publication on the internet, I do not see how they can establish a case of libel’.
Asa’s lawyer was not available to answer questions at the time of writing this report, but the law firm assured us we would get statements from them very soon.
Back in January 2010, Asa, in an interview with radio host Gbemi Olateru-Olagbegi on Beat FM’s ‘Drive Time Show’, categorically stated she wasn’t gay; even though at that time she did not have a boyfriend. ‘I’m not gay we have to set it straight’, Asa said.
The court case has been adjourned to Thursday, April 26, 2012.

TIWA SAVAGE'S HOT KISS WITH FLAVOUR
Top hip hop cum R’n’ B singer,Flavour is one dude in the music arena of Nigeria that people have not been able to pin down with any babe in and outside the industry.However,strong romantic link is said to exist between the sexy singer and popular female singer,Tiwa Savage.
According to the information being peddled in the industry,Tiwa Savage who has become the darling of many in the country due to her powerful vocals has found her way into Flavour’s heart.
The rumor kicked-off after the release of Flavor’s new musical video entitled ‘Oyi’.
In the video,there was a scene where the light skin and slim singer passionately locked Tiwa Savage’s lips with his.
The gesture was so real and romantic that it generated a lot of response by fans of both musicians and music buffs.But while some people are of the opinion that it is a normal thing to see artistes acting out romantic roles that seem so real,close sources say that the kiss went beyond what was seen in the video as they swear that they have something stronger than what they displayed in the musical work.
We gathered that the duo have been in a romantic tie for quite sometime now though they have been able to keep it under the wraps and that they used the video to let out their emotions and show the whole world that they are really an items.
Others in the know say that the two have been very close to each other and have been spotted many times around Festac Town and that there was no way the chemistry could have been just a show.

‘I have Not Left Chocolate City’ – M.I
Following reports that rave rapper M.I Abaga had concluded plans to officially launch his record imprint, Loopy Records, rumours began flying that he had left Chocolate City record label.

I am actually dating my friend. The most important thing in a relationship is to be friends and when you are friends you learn from each other. I think God sent him. I have never been happy in a relationship like this before. He is my friend, he is my brother and he is also my father because he puts me right. I like the fact that he is a Christian and I am also a very good Christian. He encourages me no matter how traumatising it is for me and he has always been there for me.
Asked, are you still quarrelling with Timaya;she said That is buried and gone. Seriously, I don’t like to talk about it because a lot of people know the real story.

Fresh Scam Scandal Hits Nollywood, Silverbird Cinemas Allegedly Involved
With what is getting to the desk of Amebo , the movie industry may be in for the biggest fraud case in its history.
According to information gathered by Amebo, Blessing Egbe, the producer of controversial movie, Two Brides And A Baby is crying foul over an alleged fraudulent act between Okhma Global Limited and Silverbird Cinemas, Abuja.
Blessing alleged Okhma Global Limited owned by Mary Ephraim, who handled the distribution of the film to cinemas, of conniving with Silverbird Cinemas to short-pay her of proceeds made from screening the movie at the cinemas.
Speaking to amebo, Blessing said that Mary confirmed to her that her movie had stopped showing at the cinemas on January 13, 2012 but she was surprised to learn that Silverbird Cinemas in Abuja still sold tickets for the said movie as at February 2, 2012.
She went further to say that she requested for hard drives containing the film be retrieved from the cinemas, which Mary confirmed to her by January to have been effected.
When Amebo crew contacted Mary on this allegation, she denied it but said that though Blessing wanted to stop showing the movie in December because of the percentage (30 per cent) that gets to her (Blessing) at that period was not okay by her, but she advised her to do otherwise
She went on to say that she has presented the right records to Blessing. As she told us, she wondered why Blessing is attacking the cinemas, who never had any dealing directly with her.
She also told Amebo that she had earlier told Blessing to officially write her company of any wrong doing if noticed, which she claimed Blessing had not done.
When Blessing was asked to confirm this, she claimed to have written a letter to Mary through a lawyer which was never replied to even after acknowledging it.
For a young Nigerian film industry just re-embracing cinema culture, this may not be an encouraging situation to the industry.
We would keep you posted as further events unfold.
