Some of you think the relationship between D'banj and Genevieve Nnaji
was a publicity stunt...it wasn't!
The two sexy stars dated off and on between 2009 and 2011. D'banj
recently opened up to Toolz on the Juice about his relationship with
Ms Nnaji and said he doesn't know who dumped who.
"Genevieve was a friend…(but now) I haven't seen her…I don't know who
dumped who. I can tell you for free that Genevieve did the dumping.
Not necessarily because she wanted to, but because she had no choice.
There were just too many women around me (D'banj)."
It seemed at a point, a lot of women wanted a piece of the Kokomaster,
including a close friend of the actress who allegedly began an affair
with D'banj behind her back. Genny decided she'd had enough and ended
things.
Though the two are still friends,
the relationship which began in late 2009 after the two met at the
airport, became public after D'banj granted an exclusive INTERVIEW to
Stella Dimoko Korkus in March 2010, expressing his affection for Miss
Nnaji.
D'banj said:
"We have been trying to keep this quiet but yes, I am dating Genevieve
Nnaji. I am in love with her. It's been long I felt this way about
anyone. I don't know what other words to use to qualify my feelings.
She's my baby, she's my every thing and I love her."
People in the know claim that it wasn't only the other women in
D'banj's life that ended their relationship but also because Genny
herself was not committed to the relationship.

LATEST: Photographer killed by traffic trying to snap Justin Bieber's ferrari
Paparazzi have had nasty run-ins with pop star Justin Bieber,
including a high-speed chase in July that prompted a city councilman
to predict that such an encounter could end tragically .
It happened Tuesday.
A photographer, who thought he spied Bieber sitting in his parked
white Ferrari, wasstruck and killed by oncoming traffic as he walked
across a Los Angeles freeway to get back to his car after snapping
photos.
An opportune picture of the 18-year-old celebrity can rake in hard
currency -- but Bieber was not in the car at the time of the New
Year's Day incident.
California Highway Patrol officers had pulled over Bieber's vehicle
Tuesday evening at an off-ramp of Interstate 405.
The photographer spotted the sports car, parked his own vehicle across
the street, crossed to get closer to Bieber's car and tookphotos of
its occupants, said Los Angeles Police spokesman James Stoughton.
Officers told the man twice to return to his car, CNN affiliate KTLA reported .
A car struck the paparazzo as he crossed back across the street to
leave, Stoughton said.
Authorities have not released his name.
"While I was not present nor directly involved with this tragic
accident, my thoughts and prayers are with the family of the victim,"
Bieber said in a statement.
"Hopefully this tragedy will finally inspire meaningful legislation
and whatever other necessary steps to protect the lives and safety of
celebrities, police officers, innocent public bystanders, and the
photographers themselves."
In July, a group of paparazzi chased Bieber in separate vehicles down
a freeway, whizzing past Los Angeles city councilman, Dennis Zine,a
reservist on the LAPD.
"He was coming up behind me, making abrupt lane changes, not giving
signals, cutting off cars," Zine said. The photographers were keeping
up with Bieber,thick on his heels.
Zine said he expected to see a crash and feared someone could die.
The lawmaker, known for supporting tough measures against obnoxious
paparazzi behavior, alerted the highway patrol, who ticketed Bieber
for speeding in his Fisker Karma, an expensive electric sports car.

Barca turn down Liverpool's attempt to sign David Villa
Liverpool have been rebuffed in a bold attempt to take Barcelona
striker David Villa on loan.
The 31-year-old is frustrated at the Nou Camp due to his lack of game
time and is keen to come to England.
However, Barcelona will not entertain the idea of letting the Spain
international go out on loan and will only consider a bumper transfer
offer to sell in this window.
David Villa has found opportunities hard to come by at Barca this term
but his goalscoring record with both the Catalan giants and Spain is
exceptional.
Liverpool manager, Brendan Rodgers has already agreed a deal with
Chelsea for Daniel Sturridge and is advanced with talks over a move
for Thomas Ince. However, that deal has dragged because Blackpool want
£6million for a player they bought from Liverpool for £250,000 18
months ago.
Villa was seen as a player of quality and experience who could share
the burden with Luis Suarez and fit into Rodgers' ideal 4-3-3
formation having also played on the left for Barcelona and Spain.
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is in the market to bring in some
support up front for Luis Suarez despite his two goals against QPR.

Nigerian Police arrest fake doctor for defrauding Facebook friend
The Nigerian Police in Lagos has arrested a fake medical doctor, who
lied to an acquaintance he met on the social media platform, Facebook,
that he would get her a job and collected N200,000 from her.
The Police said in Lagos that the suspect, found to be a serial
fraudster, posed as a medical doctor to enable him to swindle the
unsuspected Facebook girl-friend.
The suspect claimed he would use the amount to secure a job for her
with the Nigerian Customs Service.
Investigations reveal that the accused was arrested and charged to
court about three years ago for a similar offence.
Ngozi stated that the police could not immediately explain how he was
freed in court without being convicted, noting that the suspect had
become a serial fraudster who was in the habit of defrauding young
girls.
According to her, the 36-year- old suspect was arrested after one out
of the latest five victims complained to the Police on November 15,

detectives from Ogudu Division.
The spokesperson alleged that the first victim, Mrs Adebiyi Adenike, a
graduate became his friend on Facebook after being attracted by the
suspect as a Surgeon.
"He requested for the sum of N200,000 as PRand with her original
certificate to enable him secure employment for her into the Customs
and that he had a slot at the service," she said.
Ngozi stated that both the suspect and the victim met and set out for
the journey to Abuja, but along the way to Airport, the suspect
pretended as if his vehicle had fault and asked her to come down and
push the car.
"As soon as the victim pushed the car, he zoomed off with the victim's
credentials, ATM and PHCN cards," she said.
Ngozi gave the names of other victims defrauded by the suspect as Miss
Okunola Folashade, Miss Ibrahim Bukola and Miss Adefemi Mercy.
She said that they were all NYSC members who were defrauded by the
same suspect ontheir way to Ibadan for community assignment.
The spokesperson alleged that they boarded his car to Ibadan on Dec.
20, but on getting to the Tollgate, the suspect diverted to the
oldLagos/Ibadan road where he pretended as if the car developed fault
and asked them to push thereafter he zoomed off with all their
belongings.
Ngozi said that the items stolen from the victims included a Laptop,
unspecified cash, certificates, ATM card, Toaster Machine, cell phones
and clothes.
The fifth victim, Miss Akinbo Atinuke, also boarded the suspect's
vehicle at Berger on Dec. 11, on her way to Ibadan, where the accused
branched to a filling station and pretended the car could not start
again, adding that the victim also pushed the car and he zoomed off.
The spokesperson said that the victim also lost her Laptop, Phone,
SSCE Certficate, ATM card, NYSC discharged certificate, the sum of
N104,000 which she withdrew from a bank with her ATM card.
Ngozi said that the suspect would be charged to court since all the
witnesses wereavailable with some exhibits, adding that the suspect
has also made confessional statement.
