Comedian and actor Martin Lawrence, 52, has three beautiful girls, Iyanna Faith, (16) Amara Trinity (14) and Jasmine Page Lawrence (21 - his daughter with his first wife, Patricia Southall)

Pippa Middleton and James Matthews have signed the dotted lines and are now legally a married couple. The newly weds were all smiles and looked so in love as they left the private ceremony at the church in Englefield hand in hand.

They are now headed for the reception which will hold in the garden of her family home.

Her sister, Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, could not return the favour by being her maid of honour but she was kept in charge of coordinating the flower girls and the pageboys. The first half of the event turned out successful partly due to her help with the kids.

Lol. MTO is reporting that Beyonce just gave birth to a boy and a girl. Well, since it's coming from them, we are going to take it with a pinch of salt. See how they are reporting it below. MTO wrote:

Congratulations are in order – according to a source claiming to have inside knowledge into Beyonce’s pregnancy. According to the tipster Beyonce gave birth this morning – to a lovely and health pair of twins – a boy and a girl.

We’re told that the couple gave birth at Cedars Sinai and that she is recovering well.

This is a MediaTakeOut.com EXCLUSIVE report.

In a new report, BBC is alleging that the Federal government paid 2 million euros and released 5 imprisoned Boko Haram bomb makers in exchange for the 82 Chibok school girls released on May 6th.

The Federal government has however not denied claims that there were negotiation with the sect members for the release of the girls. However the details of the negotiations were not clearly stated.

In this new report by BBC, it is alleged that 2 million euros was released in exchange for the girls. Part of the report reads

"The release of the 82 girls came with a price. Five senior Boko Haram militants were moved from a high security unit to be driven to freedom. The details of the deal are sketchy. Our sources don’t want to be named and their version of events is hard to confirm, but they say the men were high-level Boko Haram bomb-makers, and that they were accompanied by two million euros in cash. Paying a ransom as well as swapping prisoners was a sticking point that almost unravelled the whole deal, one source tells us. It should have happened sooner, but the president was hesitating about freeing the five – and especially about the money,” says the person with detailed knowledge of the deal. Persuading him was “very, very difficult. It was the most difficult part of the whole negotiation. He didn’t want to pay any money. “The ransom was two million euros. Boko Haram asked for euros. They chose the suspects and they gave us the list of girls who would be freed.”

Singer, Banky W and Adesua's Etomi stepped out for dinner in Dubai where they are shooting wedding party 2. They looked absolutely gorgeous.

Office of the acting president, Yemi Osinbajo received copies of the 2017 budget earlier today.

University Of Ibadan (U.I) students have unleashed terror on an alleged thief they caught trying to steal from a room at Mellanby Hall. He was beating blue-black and eventually handcuffed. The students then took to social media where they have been sharing photos.

Acting President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, has directed the resumption of 24-hour operations at the Apapa port and outrightly banned touting by officials or unofficial persons at any port; be it air, land and sea ports in Nigeria.

Prof. Osinbajo had on Thursday signed three Executive Orders dealing with the business environment, local content in public procurement and timely budget submission. The Orders take effect immediately.

The Acting President said in the Order that, ``the Apapa Port shall resume 24-hour operations within 30 days of the issuance of this Order and there shall be no touting whatsoever by official or unofficial persons at any port in Nigeria.’’

According to the directive on port operations, ``on duty staff shall be properly identified by uniform and official cards while off duty staff shall stay away from the ports except with the express approval of the agency head. The FAAN Aviation Security (AVSEC) and Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA) Security shall enforce this order.’’

To vigorously address the menace of touting at the ports, the Order expressly stipulates that ``all non-official staff shall be removed from the secured areas of airports. No official of FAAN, Immigration, security agency or Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) or any other agency is to meet any non-designated dignitary at any secure areas of the airport.’’

The Acting President also directed that the official approved list of dignitaries that have been pre-approved to be received by protocol officers shall be made available to AVSEC and other relevant agencies ahead of their arrival at the airport.

According to the Order, ``any official caught soliciting or receiving bribes from passengers or other port users shall be subject to immediate removal from post and disciplinary as well as criminal proceedings in line with extant laws and regulations.’’

``All relevant MDAs at the airports shall within 30 days of the issuance of this Order merge their respective departure and arrival interfaces into a single customer interface, without prejudice to necessary backend procedures,’’ the Acting President directed.

On the harmonization of activities of agencies operating at the ports, Prof. Osinbajo ordered that ``all agencies currently physically present in Nigerian Ports shall within 60 days harmonise their operations into one single interface station domiciled in one location in the port and implemented by a single joint task force at all times, without prejudice to necessary backend procedures.’’

The new single interface station at each Port, the Order stipulates, ``shall capture, track and record information on all goods arriving and departing from Nigeria and remit captured information to the head of the MDA and the head of the National Bureau of Statistics on a weekly basis.’’

In addition, the Acting President, through the Executive Order, has directed each Port in Nigeria ``to assign an existing export terminal to be dedicated to the exportation of agriculture produce within 30 days of the issuance Order.’’

The very heartbroken lady took to instagram where she shared the above photos and wrote this;

"It has been so difficult for me to post this like you would wake up and be disappointed at me for adding R.I.P to A post of you but this is reality and I have to face it. I slept and woke up so many times just to wish all of this was a dream. Prince Ikp Ekiyor your life was cut short just at the peak of
your career.

You went out with your friends to hangout only for you to get back home vomiting till you died in your Atlanta home America. My God will definitely avenge your death my sweet younger brother who was full of life with so much energy. You respected everyone and called every guy Baba, you always bowed when greeting people. We lost a brother, a son, a great star, a father, a friend and mummy's last boy. The pain I feel is unexplainable, It's excruciating, it's killing me.

My heart is so heavy... I keep thinking of when we were little. Everyone always thought we were twins cos I was only a year+ older than you and we were same height as kids. We did everything together, climbed trees together, went to school together, ate together, dragged your clothes with you as if I were a boy, when ever you come to Nigeria I drag your clothes with you and you just leave them for me calling me a tomboy.

I miss you so much my baby brother with a baby heart. Your warm amazing soul was the best thing ever brought onto this planet. You will never be forgotten. REST IN PEACE MY SWEET BROTHER #bitter #wickedworld #sick #inpain #Crying #gonetoosoon #Gonebutnotforgotten #RIP."

NOIPolls, the premier organization for country specific polling services in West Africa has released a Social Perception Survey on Lesbian, Gays and Bisexual Rights showing an increase in acceptance rate of Lesbian, Gays and Bisexuals in Nigeria.

Commissioned by The Initiative for Equal Rights (TIERs), a non-profit organization working to protect the rights of sexual minorities, the report showed a rise in family acceptance from 11 percent in 2015 to 13 percent in 2017. Findings also show that 39 percent of Nigerians now say that Lesbian,
Gay and Bisexual persons should be allowed to have access to public services, a 9 per cent increase from 30 per cent of respondents in 2015.

The survey method involved a random nationwide sampling of 2,000 respondents who were interviewed over the telephone. Participants were selected from the six geo-political zones through a proportionate stratified random sample design.
