'How I met my wife (Uche Jombo)' - Kenny Rodriguez

"My first opportunity to meet Uche was through my close Nigerian friend for the purpose of a  possible business together since Uche was a telecoms ambassador and in the US I run a communications company. But along the line I discovered she was passionate about making movies and was very hardworking. She gave me an opportunity to learn about her work, and I took advantage of that. It was easy for fall in love with her. I'm glad she chose me. I am happy we are together. Being married to her is unbelievable. She's a woman of class, independence, strong, bold, sincere, beautiful and a star. She's down to earth too and doesn't let the stardom get into her head. She supports me 100% and I support her too...as a friend, a mentor and a husband" Kenny Rodriguez tells City People

Actor on the run over N20m fraud!!!

THE police are on the trail of a Nollywood actor (name withheld), alleged to have masterminded a N20 million fraud in a freight forwarding company

Vanguard gathered that the Nollywood star allegedly perpetrated the act over several months because of his strategic position in the company which gave him access to vital documents and account details of many clients.

The Nollywood star was said to be the account officer of a particular ‘big client’ of the firm, a position which made him to be privy to outflow and inflow in that particular account.

From this position, the actor allegedly received cheques of various sums, which he allegedly diverted to private interests through a micro-finance bank with allegedly connivance of officials of a commercial bank in Lagos.

Police sources, however, told Vanguard that the bubble burst when the company embarked on a comprehensive audit of its 2012 books.

Very Funny: Man hides $15,000 in the oven, wife bakes it by accident

An oven is not a place to hide your cash.

A man has probably learned a costly lesson where he hides his cash.

The unidentified father of Sydney, Australia, sold his car last week. The $15,000 in revenue was supposed to be spent on his mortgage payment and other expenses, according to the Australian news media. 

Opting not to squirrel away with the loot in a mattress or bury it in his backyard, he decided to hide the cash in his oven, which is rarely used.
It turns out, his wife decided to use the oven that day. She preheated the oven to warm up chicken nuggets for her two children and, yes, she cooked the cash in the process.

"It was everything we had," he told the news media. "I have nothing in my name. Thatmoney had to go to my mortgage."
His wife was equally distraught and apparently could not help but mourn to tell her husband after discovering what had happened. The money was baked in a mess of burnt colors.

He approached his lender and the Reserve Bank of Australia for help.

The Reserve Bank advises people to take damaged currency to a bank. According to the Reserve Bank's policy, "if several pieces of the same ticket is presented, the policy of the Reserve Bank is that each piece to be worth some value in proportion to its size. The value total paid must be the face value of the original ticket. A man has probably learned a costly lesson where he hides his money in cash.
