8 Nigerian Celebrities With The Most Stylish And Expensive Mansions 2018 – Take A Bow For Timaya’s New Home (Mouthwatering Photos)

Nigerian celebrity mansions: We all know that when it comes to living the life of Luxury, Nigerian Celebrities will never carry last. From living in expensive apartments, to owning them, to having flashy fleet of cars down to their jewelries and all, Nigerian celebrities will never be last on the List of “Luxury Living” if there ever will be a list like that. In Nigeria, we are aware of the fact that One’s home is a reflection of one’s success and achievements in whatever chosen occupation/profession and “Entertainment” is most definitely not exempted.
Every Nigerian celebrity has a dream of acquiring his own multi-million naira mansion and to have this dream come true is usually a long time life goal.
Although, Nigeria may have the highest number of celebrities in the continent, not all of them have their own personal homes, that’s why this weekend, we bring to you the Top 12 celebrities who actually have their own personal multimillion Naira homes.
Without taking much of your time, we move to the first celebrity on our list, they are actually couples.

1. TUNDE & WUNMI OBE (T.W.O)

When we talk about one of the richest couples in the Entertainment Industry, Tunde and Wunmi Obe would be named first as they are not only rich but are also the oldest couple when it comes to years of Marriage.
The both of them who have being making music for quite some time now were both given birth to with silver spoons, and when i say “Silver Spoons”, I don’t mean the literal idiom “Silver Spoon”, I’m talking of the silver spoon that is “diamond encrusted”, you catch my drift ? Lol.
That privilege sort of gave them a head start.
Tunde and Wunmi Obe, who are said to be the Industry’s most popular celebrity couple have carved a niche for themselves with their peculiar type of music.
The couples met in UNILAG in 1988 and dated for 10 years before they actually got married.
Mr Tunde Obe is the son of a late Ambassador, while his wife, Wunmi, who owns a beauty business, is the daughter of late Punch founder Olu Aboderin.
The both of them have a tremendous mansion located in the Lagos metropolis which reportedly costs about N400Million
The mansion, built for over eight years, according to a source close to the couple, sits on over two plots, with facilities including a swimming pool customized with their acronym T.W.O in it, an audio visual studio, bar and lounge, guest chalet, patio, gym, Sauna, basketball court and conference/meeting rooms.

Girlfriend just got offered N60M endorsement deal - Davido

Still basking the birthday euphoria of his girlfriend, Chioma, Davido has revealed that she is being offered a N60M endorsement deal.

The music star made this known via his Twitter handle on Tuesday, May 1, 2018, where he tweeted about it. "Just got an endorsement offer for my baby 60 m I told them bring 100m then she might think about it," he tweeted.
Looks like this relationship between Davido and Chioma apart from being a very romantic one, will be a very successful one with a lot of financial gains.
Davido's girlfriend, Chioma turned 23 on Monday, April 30, 2018, and the singer who has been so open about their relationship took it a step further by presenting a Porshe car as a gift to an obviously shocked Chioma.
Davido shared the video of him presenting Chioma with the gift on his Twitter and Instagram handles with friends and admirers watching closely.

1. Don Jazzy

Don Jazzy's reaction to Davido's birthday car gift to his girlfriend was probably the most hilarious among the celebrities who reacted. The legendary music producer took to his Instagram page where he posted a video of himself singing or mumbling to something close to a song.
He then went on to caption the video with a quote, "@davidoofficial o boy una luv Dey sweet us like say na all of us Dey chop chef chi food. Nice one bro. We sef go, love, last last o."

2. Seyi Law

One comedian who has earned himself the title of most spontaneous in the business of comedy is Seyi Law and so when he decided to react to Davido's car gift we couldn't expect less. Seyi Law posted a video on his Instagram page where he shared with fans, his wife's desire to scream like Chioma as was seen in the now viral video.
However, Seyi Law said he won't be able to afford a N45M car rather he would be getting for his wife a 2010 Toyota Camry. We really don't know if Seyi is talking about  'Tokunbo' or Nigerian used car.

3. AY


AY was the first celebrity to react to Davido's expensive birthday gift to his girlfriend. AY  just like Seyi Law was more concerned about how this latest development was going to affect his wife. He also said Davido was too young to be spending so much on his girlfriend.

We all know AY was joking as he went on to take jabs at young men who send long poems on their girlfriend's birthdays.

4. Peter Okoye

Peter Okoye  

While everyone was taking Davido's car gift from the comedy side of it, Peter Okoye saw it as a duty for any man who claims to be in love to treat his woman just as the same way, Davido treats Chioma. Peter Okoye took to his Instagram page on Tuesday, May 1, 2018, where he posted a photo of the trending couple and a few words for them.

"Nothing impresses me more than when a Man treats a Woman right and makes her the center of his world. Nice one @davidoofficial Congrats and Happy birthday Chioma. #Goals #PureAssurance #LoveHasNoTribe #LoveKnowsNoTribe," he wrote.

Davido And Chioma: Check Out 5 Ways You Can Give Your Own Girlfriend Some 'Assurance'

Even if you don't have the kind of money Davido has, there are certain ways you too can make your woman feel loved.
Davido and Chioma
The need for assurances and reassurances in relationships have been a thing long before Davido released a song bearing that title and bought his girlfriend, Chioma, a Porsche with the word inscribed on its number plate.
Everyone, and more especially women want to be certain that they are the only one [except, of course, those that willingly became side chicks and side guys].
Even at that, everyone still wants to be sure the terms on which they entered into the relationship/situationship has not changed. People want to feel special not just at the beginning but for the entire duration of the relationship – a duration which is often hoped would be endless.
Since there is a call for assurances now more than ever following Davido’s assuring act of purchasing his girlfriend that extravagant car, how exactly does one give assurance to his girlfriend?
PRO TIP: You don’t have to have N30 billion in the account to do any of these.
1. Assure her that she’s the only one
Look her in the eye, tell her she’s the only one. 
Look her in the eye, tell her she’s the only one. Hold her face in your hands as you say so. Be close enough for the timbre of your voice to create gentle echoes in her heart and spread into every tiny bit of her consciousness.
She needs to be reassured that despite how rough life can get sometimes, she’s still the one you  with whom you want to find calmness, the one with whom, and in whose arms you want to enjoy *-the peace and tranquility that always comes after the storm.
And mean it every time you say it.
2. Reassure her that she’s beautiful
Yes, her beauty drew you in. The alignment of her eyes and nose and lips and the way her smile lit something inside you and made your heart skip like a lamb… it all made you die for her. And it wasn’t until you got her that you felt alive again.
Never let her forget this. You need to always reassure her that she’s still beautiful, that time has not put a film too thick in your eyes to stop you from seeing how pretty she is.
The problem is that guys often forget this. They often become numb to the beauty their babes are. Don’t be that guy who forgets to melt at the terrific beauty he’s been blessed with. Always remind yourself of how lucky you are and let her know about it. Other guys may say it, but she needs it for you.
3. Assure her with gifts
Ok. You may think I do not have ₦30Billion in your account but you actually do not need a Porsche before to impress your girl.
Little gifts, grand gifts, every one you give within your means to please your girl are assurances that you have her in your mind and that she’s special.
Don’t ever forget to keep assuring her.
4. Reassure her of the future
She wants to be sure that this is not just about the here and now.
Sure, everyone wants to live in the moment and it’s good to not overthink things, but she also needs reassurances that the future is secure and she’s not just wasting her today with you.
5. Show it
Acts of love and service to her are reassuring enough, too, without having to say a word.
Every action that confirms your love to her, never hesitate to do them. The goal is to never let her forget, to never let things get into doubt.
Run relentlessly with that goal.

Fire Scare At CBN Headquarters

News made rounds yesterday evening that the headquarters of the apex bank of Nigeria was on fire with residents in the area panicking.
 
Godwin Emefiele, CBN Governor
 
There was confusion at the headquarters of the Central Bank of Nigeria on Tuesday following a fire incident at the generator house.
 
The fire was said to have started few minutes after 6pm and lasted for about 30 minutes before it was put out.
 
A correspondent, who visited the headquarters of the CBN, observed that men of the Federal Fire Service were at the scene to ensure that the fire did not get out of control.
 
Apart from the Federal Fire Service that deployed two firefighting trucks in the scene of the incident, a truck belonging to Julius Berger was also sited at the apex bank’s headquarters.
 
The Assistant Comptroller, FFS, Bello Atayin, who spoke with a Punch correspondent, said the fire started at the generator house.
 
He attributed the fire incident to a technical fault at the generator house, adding that the service was quick in putting it out before it got out of control.
 
Atayin said, “The fire incident started at the generator house on the west side of the building and we were alerted.

“It was a minor fire incident and it has been put under control.”
 
When contacted, the Acting Director, Corporate Communications, CBN, Mr. Isaac Okorafor, however, said there was no fire at the apex bank.
 
In a statement issued on Tuesday night, he said, “Reports that the Central Bank of Nigeria’s head office building is on fire are false.

“Passers-by, who saw a pall of exhaust from the generator house far away from the building apparently mistook the exhaust for fire smoke.

“The CBN maintains a total security system that triggers safety alarms in the presence of smoke and so all fire engines and personnel received the alert only to discover that it was an unusual pall of exhaust.

“The affected generator has been rested and normal work has been uninterrupted, while the engineers are working to rectify the issues with the generator.

“We hereby assure the general public that there has been no fire at our building.”

How to Buy Car Insurance

Car insurance is one of the necessary evils of modern life. You pay a substantial amount of money each month to the insurance company, and if you are like most people, you have not had an accident or made a claim in years. Yet when you do suddenly find yourself involved in a collision, the insurance premiums you've been forking over all these years will finally pay off.
The advent of the Internet has raised the level of competition between insurance companies. Because you can now sit at home in your bathrobe and compare rates and coverage between companies, they are under more pressure to offer competitive deals. So why not leverage the Internet's potential to help you save time, save money, and find the best auto insurance coverage?

First, let's be clear about the fact that auto insurance is required by law in most states―it's not optional. If you drive a car, you must have auto insurance. So you need to find out what the law requires in your jurisdiction when it comes to how much auto insurance coverage you need to maintain. Print out your state's requirements, and save that information for the next step in the process.

BEST Mesothelioma Survival Rate THE world has to offer


Mesothelioma survival rate refers to the percentage of survivors who live a year or more after diagnosis. About 55 percent of mesothelioma patients survive six months, and 30-40 percent survive longer than a year. Only about 9 percent survive five years or more.

“How Long Can I Live With Mesothelioma?”

This question is commonly asked by those who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, a deadly form of cancer caused by asbestos. Unfortunately, as with most diseases, there is no one answer to how long a mesothelioma patient will live.

Mesothelioma Survival Rates

6 months after diagnosis55%1 year after diagnosis33%5 years after diagnosis9%

Survival Rates for Mesothelioma Are Improving

The good news is that survival rates for mesothelioma patients are improving. A 2015 meta-study looked at 20 years worth of results from 1992 – 2012, and during that period the two major forms of mesothelioma (pleural and peritoneal) have both seen an improvement in survivorship.

Mesothelioma Survival Rate by Type

PleuralPeritonealPericardial1 year73%92%51%3 years3%74%26%5 years12%65%23%10 years4.7%39%(N/A)

According to the study, peritoneal mesothelioma survivorship has especially shown significant improvement, largely due tonew forms of treatment, such as hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC).

The Effect of Treatment on Survival

The type of treatment a mesothelioma patient receives can affect survival rates. Whether this is due to the treatment itself or to other factors (e.g., if the patient is too ill to undergo a more aggressive treatment) may not always be apparent. While there has been no single study showing survival rates based on treatment across all types of mesothelioma, separate studies have been done on the two most common forms of mesothelioma.

 Mesothelioma Survival Rate by Treatment TypePleural MesotheliomaChemotherapy Only2 years19%5 years4%Pleurectomy / Decortication (P/D)2 years40%5 years10%Extrapleural Pneumonectomy (EPP)2 years37%5 years12%Peritoneal MesotheliomaCRS-207 + Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC)5 years50%


For pleural mesothelioma, patients who undergo a pleurectomy/decortication (P/D) or extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP) – both of which are usually part of a multimodal treatment plan – generally have a much higher rate of survival than those who receive chemotherapy alone.

For peritoneal mesothelioma, patients who undergo cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with HIPEC have significantly higher rates of survival. When combined with systemic chemotherapy as an adjuvant treatment, the 5-year survival rate of patients who undergo CRS + HIPEC can be as high as 67%.

Other Survival Rate Factors

The survival rate for mesothelioma patients depend on a variety of factors. These include things such as the patient’s age, health, and the treatment they receive. Ever individual case is different, and one survival rate may not necessarily apply to a specific patient’s case.

Stage at Diagnosis

Mesothelioma staging can impact survival rate significantly. Patients diagnosed at an early stage (Stage I or Stage II) have a much higher survival rate than those diagnosed at a later stage (Stage III or Stage IV). For example, the 5-year survival rate for Stage 1 peritoneal mesothelioma patients is 87 percent, but only 29 percent for Stage IV.

Age of the Patient

Younger mesothelioma patients have higher rates of survival than older patients. This is due in part to the fact that older people in general have lower survival rates. In addition, with age comes a variety of health-related conditions that can make a mesothelioma diagnosis more deadly.

Sex

According to data provided by the National Cancer Institute’s SEER database, women have a higher 5-year survival rate (16%) than men (9.3%). It is not entirely clear why this is so, though some reasons may include that women are generally diagnosed at a younger age, they are more likely to get regular medical checkups, and they may be in better overall health.

Race

There is some evidence that African-Americans who have mesothelioma have a slightly longer 5-year survival rate than Caucasian mesothelioma patients. However, because Caucasians have a much higher incidence of mesothelioma, there may not be enough cases of African-Americans who have the disease to make a substantive determination.

Genetics

Several studies have shown that certain genetic factors can affect survival rates among patients. For example, mesothelioma patients who have certain mutations of BRCA1-associated protein-1 (BAP1) appear to have much better survival rates than other individuals who develop the disease, according to one study.

A Note About Mesothelioma Survival Rate Statistics

Mesothelioma survival rates are determined by a standard measure known as the relative 5-year survival rate, which indicates how many patients are still alive 5 years after being diagnosed with the disease.

According to the most reliable studies, the relative 5-year survival rate for mesothelioma is about 9 percent, which is better than it was a decade or more ago. However, this simplified number does not tell the whole story. As shown above, survival rate can depend heavily on the type of mesothelioma a person has, what treatment options are available to them, and certain other health and lifestyle factors.

Many different clinical trials and other studies are being conducted on an ongoing basis to identify the factors that affect survival rate and, hopefully, discover ways to increase survival among mesothelioma patients. The results of these studies can be helpful for patients who meet certain criteria, but they may not be useful for determining an overall survival rate across the broad spectrum of mesothelioma patients.

Therefore, while survival rate can be a useful statistic in some cases, it can be misleading in others. Patients and loved ones should always rely on the advice and guidance provided by their doctors to understand how they can improve their prognosis and life expectancy, rather than looking to a single statistic.

Mesothelioma Law Firm

For decades, mesothelioma, a life-threatening disease that can affect the lungs, abdomen, and several other major organs, has been linked to prolonged exposure to asbestos, resulting in many people seeking a mesothelioma law firm to get justice and help them cover the overwhelming expenses associated with the disease.
Typically, mesothelioma victims were exposed to asbestos while working at a job site that used asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). In many cases, the manufacturers of asbestos and ACMs knew of the hidden dangers and risks of asbestos, yet failed to inform the public, as asbestos was an extremely profitable mineral. Because of the hindrance of information, workers who developed health issues from asbestos exposure may be eligible for financial compensation to cover expenses such as lost wages, medical bills, emotional suffering, physical pain, and more.
If you suffer from mesothelioma, asbestos-related lung cancer, or asbestosis, you may be eligible for a large amount of compensation. Currently, there is over $30 billion in asbestos trust funds, set up for those who have been diagnosed with an asbestos-related illness. Fill out our form to receive our free Financial Compensation Packet. Our packet is loaded with information on leading mesothelioma attorneys in your area, how to file a claim for asbestos trust funds, how to get paid in 90 days, and more.

What Does a Mesothelioma Law Firm Do?

Law firms specializing in mesothelioma are different from any other type of law firm. Whereas other firms may specialize in areas like car accidents or nursing home abuse, mesothelioma law firms focus primarily on mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases. It’s not recommended to retain legal representation from a general practice law firm or even a personal injury firm that specializes in a wide array of injury cases. You’ll need an attorney who specifically specializes in mesothelioma cases, as these types of lawsuits are extremely intricate and require vast, in-depth understanding of asbestos exposure and diseases.
Attorneys at these law firms have knowledge and experience regarding federal and state laws concerning asbestos use and its history in the workforce. They also have sharp investigative skills and are able to dig deep to uncover when and where companies and/or other entities exposed workers to asbestos. Additionally, these law firms are comprised of educated attorneys who understand the legal process involving courts, trials, settlements, and appeals.
Review of Our Services
Dale R.“WHEN DAD WAS DIAGNOSED WITH MESOTHELIOMA, OUR WORLD WAS TURNED UPSIDE DOWN. NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO NEXT, I RESEARCHED AND INTERVIEWED MANY FIRMS. SOME FIRMS WERE NOTHING MORE THAN MARKETERS. OTHERS OFFERED UP CALL SCREENERS TO TAKE MY NAME AND NUMBER. AND THEN THERE WAS MESOTHELIOMA LAWYER CENTER. IT WAS WITH THEM THAT I FOUND PEACE, KNOWLEDGE AND PROFESSIONALISM. THEY HAVE DONE EVERYTHING THEY SAID THEY WOULD DO AND THEN SOME. CONTACTING MESOTHELIOMA LAWYER CENTER WAS THE BEST DECISION I COULD HAVE MADE FOR MY FAMILY.”
~ Dale R.
Moreover, an experienced firm understands that the victim is already suffering enough because of the medical and financial problems associated with asbestos-related diseases. As a result, the firm will handle most everything regarding the lawsuit, including fighting for the legal rights of the client, interviewing witnesses, obtaining medical history, litigation, and more.
An experienced law firm also understands the severe emotional impact that living with mesothelioma brings, not only to victims, but to family members and loved ones as well. An good firm takes this into account and helps ease the minds of victims and their loved ones throughout this enduring process.
What Should I Look for When Hiring an Asbestos Law Firm?
Unfortunately, not all law firms specializing in mesothelioma are the same. While some may have several years of experience, other firms are relatively new to the area of mesothelioma. In addition, some law firms may concentrate on other areas of law besides mesothelioma while another firm may solely focus on asbestos cases.
Aside from using your good judgement when determining which law firm you should use, there are several factors you should consider:
  • The law firm should have experience in dealing with mesothelioma cases.
  • The law firm should be extremely knowledgeable in asbestos laws and prior cases.
  • Look for a law firm that focuses solely on asbestos-related cases.
  • Look for law firms with a stellar reputation in handling asbestos cases.
  • The law firm should not only understand asbestos laws, but should also have extensive knowledge of medical problems associated with asbestos diseases.
  • The law firm should always keep you updated on what’s going on in your case. Although attorneys are busy people, they should be accessible.
  • You should always get an initial consultation at no charge before deciding on a firm.
Keep in mind that it’s not recommended to retain a law firm that promises you that you will win your case no matter what. Although statistics show that the majority mesothelioma victims do go on to win their lawsuits, there are a variety of factors involved, and no case is guaranteed. An experienced law firm will help you to understand your chances and what is involved, but will never assure that your case is 100% guaranteed.

Making Things Easier

Although a law firm will do the majority of your case work, it’s always a good idea to be prepared and make things easier so that the process gets rolling faster.
First, make sure to gather your medical documents, including when and where you were diagnosed, and bring this information to your initial meeting. This will allow the firm to determine if your case can be taken on.
Next, be prepared to provide the law firm with your work history and information including the full company name, address, phone number, your job role, and how long you worked there.
Finally, start keeping track of all expenses used pertaining to your disease. For example, always keep a copy of medical bills, hospital visits, mileage used to get to appointments, medical supplies, and anything other expense you paid out due to your illness.

How Can a Law Firm Personally Help Me?

When first getting started, victims usually have a plethora of unanswered questions regarding asbestos and their rights. A good law firm should be able to provide you with following information:
  • Evidence Related to Your Exposure: Once you provide the law firm with your work information, they should be able to investigate and determine how asbestos was used at your workplace. In some cases, they may already have the information available.
  • If You Truly Have an Asbestos Claim: Asbestos law firms understand what’s needed in order to have a true asbestos claim. With this knowledge, they are able to determine how strong your case is and what the estimated chances are that you’ll win. Most attorneys make sure they’re confident in your case before taking it on. Be wary of any attorney who promises to take your case without knowing any of the details or an attorney who claims they can get you an exact amount of compensation before reviewing your case.
  • Your Case Worth: If the firm decides you have an asbestos case, they will then be able to come up with an average figure of how much your case is worth. This is including past expenses, daily expenses, medical bills, lost wages, emotional trauma, physical suffering, future expenses, and much more. Keep in mind, however, that there is no set formula as to how much your award amount may be. The aforementioned factors, along with other details, such as if your former company has a trust fund set up or not, will also come into play.
  • Who Exactly is Responsible: It can be difficult for the average person to determine who exactly is responsible for exposing victims to asbestos. For example, companies can move, go out of business, hide, suppress relevant information, and change ownerships. In some cases, your former company is responsible, the manufacturer of the asbestos products may be responsible, or supervisors and/or owners may be responsible. In other instances, there may be just one sole responsible entity, yet in a different case, there may be several responsible parties. Remember that part of the law firm’s job is to research, seek out, and determine the entity or responsible parties that are liable for your exposure to asbestos.

What Are Law Firm Fees?

Law firms may have different fees as well as different payment options. However, an experienced and caring law firm understands that victims of asbestos-related diseases more than likely have enough financial burden in dealing with their illness, and are unable to afford up-front fees for legal representation. As a result, many firms work on what’s known as a contingency fee basis, meaning that they only get paid when you get paid.
If the law firm doesn’t win your case, they don’t receive compensation either in most instances. The good news, however, is that a firm has to be confident enough in your case to take it on, meaning there is a good chance that if your case is picked up, it will be successful.
Law firm fees are percentages taken out of your total settlement or verdict amount, and again, the percentage amount will vary depending upon the firm. Make sure you understand how the fees and percentages work with the firm beforehand so that there will be no confusion later on.
If a law firm doesn’t provide a contingency fee basis, there is a good chance that they don’t have the financial resources to successfully prove your case. Keep in mind that you’ll want a firm that has the financial capability to take on your case on a contingency fee basis.
Attorneys without the resources to handle your case usually can’t provide you with the best representation. An ideal rule of thumb is to ask up-front about how the fees work so that there are no surprises later on. Attorneys with your best interest in mind will have no problems answering any questions you have regarding fees and prices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to go to court? 
This is one of the most commonly asked questions, which is understandable, as most people who are dealing with an asbestos-related illness generally do not want to spend time in a court room. Generally, you will not have to go to court. Most mesothelioma lawsuits are taken care of via settlements.
In some instances, however, if the defense doesn’t agree on a settlement or if you don’t agree on a settlement, you may have to go to trial, which requires going to court. An experienced law firm will help you through every step of the way, and if you are too ill to attend, arrangements can be made to record your testimony beforehand.
What if I don’t know which company exposed me to asbestos? 
As previously mentioned, part of an asbestos law firm’s job is to uncover the parties responsible for your asbestos exposure. The culpable parties are typically manufacturers who supplied asbestos to job sites, which can range from one company to many.
I have workers’ compensation benefits. Can a law firm still help me even if I have other compensation benefits?
Other compensation benefits, such as workers’ compensation or VA benefits, doesn’t disqualify you from seeking compensation from the companies who exposed you to asbestos. An asbestos law firm can help you file a lawsuit against the responsible parties.

Additional Tips to Remember

  • When searching for a law firm, you shouldn’t narrow your search down to your local community only. There’s a chance that your case may be filed out of state.
  • An experienced mesothelioma lawyer should have no problems flying to your city to meet with you, given that they are out of state.
  • Although the law firm should be able to give you an average figure that you may receive, giving an exact amount is impossible. Any firm that guarantees you an exact amount should be considered untrustworthy.
  • A mesothelioma should be able to handle not only mesothelioma cases for survivors, but wrongful death cases involving asbestos exposure.
