Funke Akindele Jenifa

Since last week, a message has being trending on social media, asking fans of Funke Akindele to pray on her behalf on issues of having children. The Star has discarded this message on her Facebook page; saying the message is totally false and not from her.

The summary of the details of this FAKE trending message describes the actress as a woman who is looking up to God to bless her with children, thereby asking her fans to pray for her in that regard. In a message posted on her page, she said:

"Hello everyone, I've been reading series of messages on Facebook asking people to pray for me from a fake (Jenifa's diary movie gallery account) I wonder why someone will go to that extent to get publicity. I just received this email from whoever is behind the account. I pray that every evil word will return to the sender in Jesus Name. To you my fans I say thank you for always being there"

MooreVibeBlog would have loved to share you this message, but we feel it might not be necessary since it is not even true. I think that is one expensive joke and the writer has gone too far.

Nigeria born America Singer, Jidenna

Nigerian-born American singer, Jidenna Theodore Mobisson who is in the country for a homecoming tour has said that his father always wanted him to be an Engineer.

Speaking to Bella-Naija, the ‘Classic Man’ crooner, said that he initially studied Sound Engineering at Stanford University before switching to Ritualistic Arts, knowing that “Stanford had a ‘million-dollar studio which at the time was not typical in schools.”

Jidenna who is signed to Wondaland Records however, later switched courses.

“So what I wanted to study was the art of rituals – Why do people paint their face before performances, why do we brush our teeth, why do we sing/dance and what does it do to our minds and how do you do this on a larger scale,” said Jidenna.

Jidenna, whose other singles include ‘Yoga’ and ‘Little Bit More’ in the interview also admitted to wanting to do collaborations with Nigerian musicians such as Tiwa Savage, Davido, Wizkid and others.

The artiste also disclosed that his homecoming would be detailed in a documentary.

"During the graduation of my students last year, I addressed this issue because it was during that time people were peddling rumours of my demise."

"When the rumour of my death hit town, some people said that I did ‘jazz’ to be successful. That was why during the graduation of my students last year, I said it in public that if I had ever thought of doing ‘jazz’ to succeed God should make me lose everything I had ever worked for."

“I hear these comments but they do not move me at all. I am a writer, director, producer and an actor. It is normal for people to talk but it has never upset me.”
