Aww, true feelings never die! Eva Alordiah still cares about Ice Prince Zamani

Did you know rappers Eva Alordiah and Ice Prince dated for a while when they weren't both as famous as they are today. Well, they are no longer an item but it's ike Eva still cares about him. Ice Prince turned a year older today, and Eva penned him a message from her heart.

Hey Panshak honey @iceprincezamani

It is 9:01AM and I am standing undraped in the shower, a part of my brain processing how my Friday is gonna go, the other part just simply hating the fact that I have no hot water.
You see, Months ago I was working out in my room when I heard the loudest bang I ever heard in my life! Frankie shrieked and began to bark hysterically and when I got out to see what had happened, I found my bathroom door ajar, my water heater smashed in several plastic pieces on the floor in the bathroom.
I remember thinking "What the hell?? How the fvck did this shit come lose off the wall?
What if I was in there, all 5Ft7 of me trying to have a shower, my breasts a couple mounds protruding from my chest and the water heater smashing through my skull. The thought of it made me wince.

Well I just haven't bothered to replace it since then. I have had a cold shower everyday for several months now and never really cared. It didn't matter. Hot or cold. I usually have always prefered cold showers though.

Several mornings in Boarding school, I stood tall and scrawnily thin in the cold dark early mornings, doing rub and shine with two bowls of ice cold water. Water that I mostly had to tap from under everyone's bunks in the middle of the night. I guess you could say I been baffing cold long time. I am used to this shit!

But today is different. It is your Birthday Ice, and I'd hate to be baffing ice water on your birthday! All this chilling might suck the life outta me.
I want hot water.
Just this morning.
I don't know where you are or what you are doing Ice honey. But it is your birthday. Don't baff ice water like I am about to do now.

Oh Lord! I just turned on the shower and as the coolness of the water hits my skin, I am reminded of things. Things eh!! Life is made up of things.
It is even better when it is made up of Memories.
As you celebrate today Panshak... think only of the most beautiful and the best memories.

Let Gratitude consume your soul and let there be an outpouring of thanks from your heart.

Today, do not baff cold water like I am about to do now.
Smile honey.
Happy Birthday.
Love. ��
She. #EvaAlordiahLetters #PanshakDay

Nigeria is broke and can not afford to pay all 36 ministers - Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday said not all the 36 nominees would be ministers as some of them would only sit in the cabinet in order to meet the constitutional provision of a cabinet having 36 According to him, there is no money to pay all the ministers because Nigeria is broke.

Buhari made his stance known during an interview he granted the Nigerian Television Authority and Channels TV shortly before he left India..

Buhari said,

"There was no reduction (of ministers) to 36. What the constitution says, and we cannot work outside the constitution, is that there must be a cabinet representative from each state. Yes, there used to be 42 ministers, I think we will be lucky if we can have half of that now because we cannot afford it. Others may not be substantive ministers but they will sit in the cabinet because that is what the constitution says and we cannot operate outside the constitution."

When asked whether he will reduce the number of ministers, Buhari said,

"Of course! Unless you can volunteer to be paying them (ministers)."

On the criteria used in compiling his ministerial nominees, the President explained

"I have just talked about Nigerians, especially the elite, sitting and reflecting on serious national issues. "How many times did I attempt to be the President of Nigeria? How many times did I end up in the Supreme Court? Does is it mean every time, I don't know people in this country? I know people who we were going together but fell by the wayside because it was too tough. You know I contested in 2003, 2007, 2011. I think Nigerians should stop taking things for granted as far as we are concerned," he said.

When the President was asked to react to the claim that his administration is slow in the development of infrastructure, Buhari said

"Where is the money? You must have known that the Federal Government had to help 27 of the 36 states to pay salaries.

"Nigeria cannot pay salaries. The Federal Government itself had to summon the governor of the Central Bank to see how it would pay salaries not to talk of the agreements we signed with foreign countries, counterpart funding and so on.

"This country was materially vandalised and morally so and you are in a position to know even more than myself unless you are testing my knowledge whether I know it or not."

When asked to be categorical on whether the country is broke, Buhari replied,

"Of course, Nigeria is broke."

"I am devastated" Mercy Aigbe-Gentry opens up on how she was robbed

Last week, it was revealed Mercy Aigbe lost her expensive phones after a robber disguised as an electrician had access to her shop and stole some of her belongings. She told Saturday Beats.

"I normally would not want to dwell on the matter because I cannot regain what they stole from me but I want people to learn from what happened to me. I was doing some repairs in my shop and I asked one of the workers who fixed the aluminum to help me get an electrician because I did not know any. He agreed and shortly after, someone claiming to bean electrician arrived. I showed him where to work and I left the shop for about 20 minutes.

"I don't know how the guy broke into my office but he stole my two phones, a blackberry passport and iPhone 6 plus. I thank God he did not cart away my money. He ran away immediately he took my phones and before we knew what was happening, he had disappeared. The aluminum guy claimed that was not the electrician he sent to me and till date, I have not seen the guy. Investigation is still ongoing but I am devastated because of all the contacts I have lost. Unfortunately, I did not back up my contacts," she said.

The actress said that the thief broke into her office at a wrong time because this is a time when she really needs her contacts.

She said, "I have a private screening of my movie, Victims, tomorrow and as I have lost my contacts, I don't know how I would follow up on my guests. It has been a major setback for me but I thank God for the strength to cross the hurdle. I have learnt my lesson and anytime I buy a new phone, the first thing I would do is to back it up."
