  Contrary to reports in the media that Super Eagles star and Orduspor midfielder, Yusuf Ayila, abandoned his wife and kids in Ukraine and eloped with a girlfriend, latest information reaching us has it that there may be more to it. We were actually able to get Ayila’s reaction through his media rep during the week and his revelation was rather shocking as the footballer accused his wife, Gbemisola of allegedly wanting to kill him and inherit his properties. Hear how he narrates to EMAG: ‘Firstly, I’ll like to state categorically that Gbemisola is not my legal wife as widely reported. She is the mother of my two kids. We met years back and started a casual date. The trouble started when I asked her to bring my children for holiday in Ukraine. One day, while I lived with her, I opened Gbemi’s wardrobe in Ukraine and found different charms, including a snake inside a bottle filled with gin. It was a confirmation of the feelers I got from family and friends that she is fetish and ...

The alleged mastermind of the Christmas day bomb blast that killed about 44 persons and wounded 75 others at St. Theresa’s Catholic Church at Madalla, Niger State, in 2011, Kabiru Umar, a.k.a Kabiru Sokoto, yesterday, insisted he had no case to answer. This came on day the Boko Haram Amnesty Committee said it never met with him during its visit to Kuje Prison last week. At his resumed trial before Abuja Division of the Federal High Court, Sokoto queried the competence of the 2-count terrorism charge  preferred against him by the Federal Government, contending that the government had failed to establish a prima-facie criminal case capable of warranting his conviction. He stated this as government closed its case against him after it had called six witnesses that testified before the high court. Consequent upon an application made by Sokoto’s lawyer, Mr Hassan Lukman, Justice Ademola Adeniyi, adjourned the case till June 7 to enable the accused person enter his no-case-submission. ...

It sounds, ironically, like something out of a movie: $1 million worth of Chopard jewelry has been stolen at the Cannes Film Festival. French police confirmed to the Hollywood Reporter, among other news sources, that a thief made off with Chopard jewelry from the safe of a Hotel Novotel Cannes room on Thursday night. The hotel room belonged to a Chopard employee, and the jewels were set to be worn by stars walking the festival red carpets. Chopard is a longtime sponsor of the Cannes Film Festival and also designs the Palme d'Or award , the gold trophy presented to the Best Feature Film of the festival. Just last night, Chopard joined with Cannes to honor rising stars Blanca Suarez and Jeremy Irvine at the Chopard Trophee 2013 ceremony. No word yet on whether the jewelry has been recovered (or which celebs the baubles were intended for). We've reached out to Chopard and will update should we hear back. But seriously, they should make a movie about this. And screen it at Cannes...

As a cadre of Google executives took turns touting Google's newest products at a conference in California on Wednesday, they also described how they were working toward a future in which technology would disappear. That might sound like a bizarre mission for a tech company. Yet they promised that by fading into the background of our lives, technology would become easier to use, more intuitive, more efficient and more anticipatory, even allowing people to speak to Google like it were a person, rather than a piece of software. Google would usher in this new world with tools that would bring web services into every crevice of our lives, from maps that know where we'll go next, to Google Glass, eyewear that puts the Internet mere millimeters away from our eyeballs.

A 93rd-minute header from Branislav Ivanovic gave Chelsea a stunning 2-1 victory over Benfica in the Europa League final on Wednesday as the London club claimed the trophy for the first time in heart-stopping fashion. The game in Amsterdam seemed destined for extra time after Fernando Torres’ superb 60th-minute opener for Chelsea was cancelled out by an Oscar Cardozo penalty, only for Ivanovic to net a dramatic winner with a looping header in stoppage time. Moments later, Chelsea’s players greeted the final whistle with a jubilant mass embrace, as they became the first team to simultaneously hold the Champions League and Europa League titles. They will relinquish their Champions League crown in 10 days, but more lasting is the statistic that they are only the fourth club to have claimed Europe’s three major trophies — including the now-defunct Cup Winners’ Cup — after Ajax, Bayern Munich and Juventus. Chelsea’s interim manager Rafael Benitez, meanwhile, joins Giovanni Trapattoni as on...

M.C. feels like a boy. The 8-year-old adopted child of Mark and Pam Crawford identifies as a boy, acts like a boy and is accepted as a boy by his family, school and pediatrician. But M.C. is not biologically male -- at least, not anymore -- because nearly seven years ago, M.C., who was born intersex (with both male and female genitals), underwent a procedure in South Carolina that surgically removed his male genitalia , CNN reports. Now the Crawfords are suing the people who performed and gave consent for that surgery , alleging that "the state of South Carolina violated M.C.’s constitutional rights when doctors surgically removed his phallus while he was in foster care, potentially sterilizing him and greatly reducing, if not eliminating, his sexual function," according to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).

Troops, yesterday, moved into Yola, Adamawa State capital and Maiduguri, capital of Borno State, barely 24 hours after President Goodluck Jonathan declared a State of Emergency in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states in response to Boko Haram insurgency which has claimed several lives and destroyed many property. Residents and journalists saw military trucks carrying over 2000 soldiers into Yola and Maiduguri, yesterday, in compliance with the president’s orders. The military launched the first phase of its campaign to secure the country’s borders and flush out all terrorists and insurgents from the northern states.

The music streaming wars have officially begun. Google on Wednesday announced Google Play Music All Access, a streaming music service for smartphones, tablets and desktops. All Access, which launches in the U.S. on Wednesday, allows users to stream "millions" of songs, create personalized radio stations and discover music based on their music preferences, according to the company. "This is radio without rules," Chris Yerga, Android's engineering director, said when he introduced the service at Google's annual I/O conference in San Francisco. "It's as lean back as you want to as or as interactive as you want it to be." The service, which will be available for $9.99 per month after a monthlong free trial, competes directly with Spotify, the 5-year-old streaming music service that launched in the U.S. in 2011, as well as Pandora, the Internet radio giant. Unlike All Access, which has a monthly fee, Spotify uses a "freemium" model; ...

  We stress over our jobs, our relationships, our finances and our friendships -- and unfortunately, even our bedrooms can become a breeding ground for anxiety. Sex may be touted as one of the most effective (and pleasurable) forms of stress relief , but it can also be a major source of insecurity for women. Performance anxiety isn't limited to men, and if your sex life isn't as mind-blowing as it could be, it's possible that your own worries are getting in the way. Body image issues, orgasm obstacles and STD woes are just a few of the concerns that can keep women from letting go and enjoying their time between the sheets. If you suspect that your anxiety about sex might be preventing you from optimizing your pleasure, it might be worth taking a look at some of your own sexual insecurities. Scroll through the list below for 10 common worries about sex -- and why they're not worth the stress.

  Angelina Jolie WASHINGTON (AFP) – Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie revealed Tuesday she has undergone a double mastectomy to reduce her high risk of breast cancer, encouraging other women to address threats to their health. The ultra-glamorous Jolie — whose mother Marcheline Bertrand died of ovarian cancer at the age of 56 — said she had managed to keep the issue quiet for months and continue working. Three months of grueling medical procedures including breast reconstruction ended in late April. Jolie, whose father is Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight, said her chances of developing breast cancer are now just five percent. “Once I knew that this was my reality, I decided to be proactive and to minimize the risk as much I could. I made a decision to have a preventive double mastectomy,” the 37-year-old actress wrote in The New York Times. “I started with the breasts, as my risk of breast cancer is higher than my risk of ovarian cancer, and the surgery is more complex,” she wr...

There are fears that broadcast of pornography on pay TV channels may become real in Nigeria, following acquisition of majority equity in On Digital Media, operating as TopTV by Star Times. On Digital Media (operating as TopTV) was recently licensed to broadcast three adult content channels—Playboy TV, Desire TV, and Private Spice in South Africa. Earlier this month, shareholders of On Digital Media, ODM, voted to accept the business rescue plan offered by Chinese company, Star Times. ODM has been distressed and in business rescue since last October. The development has raised palpable fears that the Chinese pay TV operator may include the Top TV porn channels in its Nigerian bouquet offerings. But spokesman of StarTimes Nigeria, Ayokunle Idowu, in a telephone conversation said his company had no such plans. “We have no such plans. Apart from that, I’m sure the National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, will not approve such,” he said. But aggressive marketing of its T-1 decoders at N3,000...

Jennifer Lopez has purchased a house in the Hamptons , just in time for summer. Most of us consider a new bathing suit, or maybe plan a manicure for Memorial Day weekend, but not J. Lo. The "On The Floor" singer just dropped $10 million on an estate in Water Mill, N.Y. The eight-bedroom, seven-bathroom home is stocked with amenities like a sauna, theater and a pool. And the singer won't have to worry about prying paparazzi, either: The home is set on three lush acres in a cul-de-sac. So can we expect to see J. Lo shopping for overpriced crab salad at the local Citarella this summer? Perhaps. If she decides not to spend her summer in New York, she can always rent it out. The house commands $425,000 for the peak summer rental months. see photos below
