Kensington Palace has dropped quite a major hint that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry may have already welcomed the Royal Baby. A note was issued by the palace yesterday saying that the Duke of Sussex is going to be visiting the Netherlands next week to undertake an official engagement in Amsterdam.
It has been seen by many as a hint that the Duchess has already given birth in secret. It was long expected that Prince Harry going to take paternity leave following the birth of his and Meghan’s first child. This, some believe, could mean that the baby was born as recently as Sunday or Monday. A royal aide said: ‘He had always planned to go but with the birth of his child due it was not announced in advance in case he was no longer able to attend. He is pleased he is able to attend.’
Kensington Palace said: ‘His Royal Highness will then travel to The Hague to officially launch the one year countdown to the Invictus Games The Hague 2020.’ Only yesterday there was speculation that Meghan has given birth because she and Harry were visited by the Queen at their home, Frogmore Cottage.
However, there has been no official confirmation yet that the baby has arrived and it was claimed that visit happened over Easter to welcome them to their new house.

Bovi however says, that’s not correct as many women date idiots, lazy bones, liars because love is blind.

Bolanle Ninalowo has also come for Tonto Dikeh admitting she is toxic and only God saved him. Now Bolanle didn’t mention Tonto’s name but some of her sharp followers already decoded it.
Now, let’s tell you how we decoded this. Tonto Dikeh and Rukky Sanda were best of friends for years before they went their separate ways. In fact, they were so close that they did almost everything together. Today, they didn’t only part ways, they don’t talk to each other.
Now, Rukky Sanda and Bolanle Ninalowo are cousins and Rukky actually introduced Bolanle to the movie industry. While this was on going, Tonto and Rukky were still best friends, so you see, he was close to her then, but when the ladies fought, everyone stood on their lane. Today he is thankful… well according to him.

While announcing her departure, Don Jazzy write; ''Our darling Tiwatope. We at Mavin would like to say a very big thank you for being such an inspiration to all of us, a friend, a sister. It’s been an epic journey with you and we are very proud of what we have achieved together.
As you start this new chapter in your life we want you to know that we are solidly behind you and can’t wait for the world to see what we have always believed you can be. Your jersey as the First Lady of Mavin will forever be yours as we do not intend to fill that position with anyone else. We love you from the bottom of heart and pray GOD’s blessings continue to follow you. Amennnn. #Mavin @tiwasavage''
Tiwa also replied under his comment section writing; ''When I got pregnant I was nervous to tell you so I decided to tell you at the airport when we were traveling for a show. I figured you couldn’t really say much in a public place 🤣 but then you told me you already knew and had already been thinking of a plan to keep my brand going while I took some time out. I was shocked because you weren’t phased by the news, you had already started making plans. I recorded the RED album while I was heavy and I would fall asleep during sessions and you and the whole team would crash in the studio right there with me till I woke up again and was ready to finish recording. There was nothing you would hear about me that ever made you mad, no outfit was too crazy, no headline was too controversial for you to handle no crazy outburst no nothing. If I said today wasn’t emotional for me I would be LYING. Please promise me that our relationship will never change. I only want to make you proud of me. Not every super hero has an S on their chest. You are my superhero DON DORO BUCCI. 7 years, 7 the number of perfection. I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER. Mavin 4life #DiaFada 🏽🏼️''

Brad Pitt's schmoozing of ex-wife Jennifer Aniston reportedly hit new heights on her 50th birthday, when he revealed his $79million (£60.57million) gift.
Brad and Jennifer called time on their marriage in 2005 but it has been rumoured that Brad still carries a torch for his ex and a reconciliation could be in the offing.
Jennifer split from her husband Justin Theroux in March 2018 but it was still a shock when Brad turned up at her 50th birthday celebrations.
Plus, when it came to gifts, not many could have trumped what Brad allegedly sorted out for Jen.
The house they used to share in Beverly Hills was on the market and when they originally split, sources close to Jennifer said that "losing their dream home worsened the heartache of their divorce and it was one of her biggest regrets not buying Brad out".
Well, it seems that this is not a problem now as Brad has apparently agreed to splash out $79million to buy the house back, just so that he can give it to Jennifer.
The actress was reportedly emotional when she found out his intentions, which came after the pair apparently reminisced about their times together in the marital home.
A jealous husband sliced a piece of a man's ear off with a machete for saying "hi" to his wife.
Ajmal Mahroof flew into a rage after spotting the victim as he walked through a park and asked him "you have been talking to my wife - why?"
A judge called it an 'over-the-top' reaction and said all that happened between Mahroof's wife and the victim was an 'exchange of greetings'.
The victim was left permanently disfigured and scarred from the wound after surgeons had to stitch his left ear back together after the attack.
Mahroof, 37, was jailed for four years after pleading guilty to wounding with intent and possession of a blade in public.
Leeds Crown Court heard Mahroof carried out the attack close to Hyrstlands Park, Batley, West Yorkshire, on October 17 last year.Jealous husband slice man's ear for saying 'hi' to his wife
The Women Arise for Change Initiative on Monday, 29th April 2019 in Osogbo, Osun State, protested against the illegal detention of a nursing mother, Mrs Rofiat Oladepo and her nine months old son by the Zone 11 of the Nigeria Police Force.
The protest which was led by the President of Women Arise and the winner of the American Government's Award of International Woman of Courage, Dr Joe Okei-Odumakin had over 200 women and men protesters who defied the scorching sun to express their displeasure over the illegal detention of Mrs Rofiat Oladepo and her son, a minor, a nine months old who were arrested and kept in custody of the Nigeria Police at the Zone 11 Headquarters in Osogbo in lieu of her husband.
The organization described the action of the police as a violation of the victims' universally recognised fundamental human rights and the law of the land.
In her remarks while being received by the Assistant Inspector General of Police in charge of the Zone, AIG Leye Oyebade and his management team, Dr Joe Okei-Odumakin asserted that, "We are pained and disappointed that the Nigeria Police held in custody a nursing mother and her baby, in lieu of her husband. Not only were they arrested and detained by proxy, they were also detained beyond the constitutionally sanctioned period.
It is most nauseating to learn that Mrs Oladepo and her baby who were arrested on the 24th April, 2019 at Dural Toaheed, Oke Anu area of Ede and taken to Zone 11, Gbogan road, Oshogbo, were kept in inhuman conditions, only to be released later and given the sum of N500 (five hundred Naira) only as their transport fare back to Ede".
Dr Joe Okei-Odumakin further informed AIG Oyebade that since their release from Police custody, Mrs Rofiat Oladepo and her baby have been hospitalised. She therefore demanded that the officers and men of the Nigerian police who conducted such unprofessional and illegal act be unmasked and brought to book while also requesting for the payment of medical bills being incurred by the victims at the hospital and immediate Public apology to Mrs Oladepo and her 9-months old son.
While responding to the demands of Women Arise President, AIG Oyebade appealed to the protesters to please stay further action as he would carry out immediate investigation into the matter and ensure that justice is done forthwith. "One of the hallmarks of our ethics, is policing with the fear of God aside the general rule of policing with integrity." AIG Oyebade said.
He further said that such impunity would never be allowed to thrive under his purview, as he further expressed the willingness of the Nigeria Police Force, under the incumbent leadership, to collaborate with the civil society in promoting a people's friendly police force that will ensure total compliance with human rights violations.
X3M Music yesterday announced the departure of one of its recording artistes Simisola Ogunleye following the expiration of her recording contract.
The Lagos-based label confirms, in a statement signed by A&R executive Vincent Nwanze, that both parties have determined to not renew the contract.
In a career that is still unfolding, Simi has emerged one of the most remarkable music talents of her generation; combining a peerless skill for writing and arranging, with a vocal prowess like none before her.
Her final album for X3M music ‘Omo Charlie Champagne’ was released on April 19, 2019.
X3M music is reputed to have a bias for original, alt music; especially in an industry dominated by pop.
X3M Music’s management said: ‘We only sign artistes that we love and believe in. We know our taste in music is rather different; but we only sign talents who meet that taste. Fortunately, we have been able to find millions of music lovers here and abroad, who share similar tastes, as is evident in the success of all the artistes we have worked with, including Simi who is without any doubt one of the biggest music talents in the country today…’
Tonto Dikeh has chosen Lagos as the venue to battle her fellow Nollywood actress who had implied she was depressed and seeking attention by calling out her ex, Olakunle Churchill. Tonto had replied her saying she would break her mouth if Funke dares sees her and repeats it. Funke then replied warning the actress that she has a belt in takwando and Tonto can even ask around.
Though Bobrisky waded in calling Funke unprintable names, Tonto has now replied Funke promising to feed her with her own poo!
