Kiss But I Dont Exchange Saliva –Controversial Actress Halima Abubakar Speaks About Morals And Her Boyfriend

Kogi State-born but Kano bred actress, Halima Abubakar, some years back gained instant fame for baring her cleavages. She was taken to be in the league of Cossy Orjiakor who became popular as a boobs baring actress.
Even though, Halima became known, she certainly did not get movie roles she so much craved. And so she withdrew into her shell. But when she resurfaced, Nigerians saw a reformed and well-groomed Halima. In this interview, the actress talked about a number of interesting issues. Excerpts:
Can you tell us about your new movie, The Mistress?
Yes. It’s about a group of friends who all have individual private lives. Its basically the stress that goes through every normal relationship that we put together as a movie for entertainment and to learn one or two things about the other side of relationships. And to tell the people that relationship is meant to be private in nature and fulfilling. So, the story is just meant to teach us lesson about relationship basically.
It’s really uncommon for actors in the English sector of Nollywood to produce movies. What gave you the gut?
I just felt it’s about time I do something instead of wasting money. I needed to lay the foundation. I am not competing with anybody… just because I am producing this does not mean I am producing forever. And the fact that I am producing this one does not mean I am stopping; I just wanted to produce this one and be happy.
Could it be said it’s a way for you to be more fulfilling?
Yes, I am just trying to be happier than I am, and being who I am, I am trying to do business.
When did you come up with the idea of doing your own movie and did you write the story yourself?
The story was co-written by Ruth Kadiri and me. Ruth also wrote the screenplay and acted in it. It was a creative idea between the two of us and it was written under three months. We polished it until we got what we wanted. Erike, the assistant director, added other things.
Who were the people you worked with?
I have myself and Yvonne Nelson from Ghana. There were three directors, Afe Omo-Oluwa, Eyika Obim and Ifeanyin Ogbonna who was the main director and Malio Entertainment coordinated in the UK because I also shot in the UK. Also, I have Maria Kukara, she lives in the UK and works as an actress there. I have Moyo Lawal and Mary Uranta who supported Yvonne Nelson, the major character in the movie. And I discovered three people on Twitter, Ibraheem, who acted as well. I am happy I was able to discover talents.
Can you put a figure to how much it cost you to shoot the movie?
I spent N9 million and I am still spending. The movie is a major hit already and that is what we are praying for. The movie is not released yet and it is everywhere, everyone is supporting and I am grateful.
What is the experience you have had as a producer?
Production is tasking, demanding, and heartbreaking.
How impactful are you in the industry?
Of course, I am treasured and my contribution is highly felt. You can ask my president (AGN) and my fans can tell. I have contributed in discovering a lot of stars, we don’t need to go into the details because we all know, and I don’t need to be the highest paid actress to know that I have touched lives but knowing that I have is a joy I have within.
Being around for a while, how can you describe your experience?
It’s a journey, only the strong can take it. My journey in life, only the strong can actually handle it. That’s the truth.
What are the positive things that being an actress have attracted to your life and what are the ones you never wanted that are happening?
It has only given me a sense of belonging. I used to be very impatient, I get angry over everything but now I am changed. I am matured.
There was so much noise about you when you just came into the industry but that has really changed. What can you say to that?
This question I really don’t know what it’s really about. I am busy. I am winning awards, what else do you want to hear? I don’t know! What else do you want to hear? My private life or what?
May be I am driving at the fact that you were a little bit controversial?
So? Are you not changing as a human being? The question is funny.
What would you say prompted the change because your controversial deeds looked intentional?
Just growth. I am a different person than I was. Like I said, I have changed. I have changed in every ramification of life so, I believe in growth, maturity.
What was your mission or motive when you started out as an actress?
Nothing. I just wanted to act. Seriously, I never knew I was going to last in Nollywood because I just wanted to act and return to something else, get married or something. I just wanted to act and keep the tape; it was cassette at that time. I just wanted my face in the movies, that’s all.
You just said you wanted marriage but it does not seem to be on your list at the moment?
I am not in that age where I would give up yet. I am not in that age where I will be bothering myself about marriage. When I clock 34, people can begin to say whatever they want to say. Then I will start thinking, but that is not in my budget now.
As a sort of role model, what is your disposition to being a single lady or single parent?
I cannot speak for them because I am sure they will have their own stories to tell.
What are your aspirations as an actress?
I want to be a UNICEF ambassador; I want to go for summits and I want to reach out to as many people I can reach out to. I want to be a teacher someday and I want to see how I will be able to incorporate it into showbiz, if I will still be in showbiz because anything can happen. I might decide to do something else and I might still continue because I am enjoying it.
Are there things you would want to change in the industry?
I would want us to be together because I have actually experienced tribalism from some people. I know people are going to say it does not happen but I have experienced it personally, it happens. So, we need to check that, and welfare of people needs to be properly taken care of. We also need to be more loving, we need to be together and support each other, if we have that, we have everything.
What roles have you played that you consider most challenging?
I am still looking for a challenging role. I am not saying those I have done were not challenging, but I am still looking for the greatest one.
How do you put aside issues that are bothering you when you want to act?
Sometimes I just cry. I can cry anywhere, anytime, trust me. I don’t have shame when it comes to crying. I once cried at a supermarket when I was telling a lady who sells shoes, I don’t even know her, but I was just telling her about my boy friend. It’s not everyone you can do that to because they will start talking when you leave. But I don’t behave like nothing is happening where there is something because we all have private lives.
Do you get carried away when acting romantic scenes?
Never. In fact, I don’t kiss deeply on set. I don’t like to exchange saliva. It has happened like three times when an actor complained that I refused to open my mouth when kissing. And I was like, ‘must we exchange saliva before the message is passed across?’ I am a woman and he’s a man so I draw boundaries. Although, I kiss to convince viewers about what the character is all about, I am not going to go gaga because I am trying to play a role. I can’t go crazy because I am shooting a movie, I have boundaries.
Is it that your man might get angry if you do?
Not really but there are things to do and not to do. He’s a man and he would get jealous but aside that one should know where to put a stop.
What comes to your mind when you remember those days when you used to bare your cleavages?
It was just advert, an advert I did for a laundry company. It was just an audition picture where I was wearing a bikini. Back then, it was a big deal in our society but nowadays it’s common because ladies put pictures like that on their BB and nothing happens.
What effects did the pictures have on you then?
I actually did not know. It was only in Lagos that the pictures were seen. I spent most of my time in Kano then and those magazines hardly circulate in Kano. It was my father who saw the write-ups and you can guess what that would have meant for me. Funny enough, I ended up not getting the job for which I took the pictures because of the controversy that surrounded it. It got to a level that people were using the opportunity to ask me to do nude scenes in their movies.
Many producers were writing scripts with nude scenes for me but I refused. I knew if I started to act nude at that point in time, I wouldn’t go back. I have seen one or two movies that people are becoming daring and all that. But then when I look back, I just laugh. I laugh when I think about all the things I have gone through in life

NUDITY A COMMON TREND IN ABUJA FASHION

NUDITY A COMMON TREND IN ABUJA FASHION

Fashion as it is fondly called is a popular style or practice, especially in clothing and accessories. In Nigeria I can boldly say that fashion trends varies amongst people depending on what one perceives as fashion. The term ‘Swag’ has been used over time to express one’s style of fashion, the question is, what is your swag? What are the basics that define fashion as an entity? To answer these questions I will like to state that fashion as an entity goes pari passu with culture, weather and time.  For instance the Eskimos live in very cold temperate regions and wear protective coats to keep them warm, and mini’s can be worn in summer to keep cool in London. What about Abuja? Abuja is blessed with a beautiful weather, be it cold or hot, there are fashion outfits designed for different weather conditions.  It is heart breaking to note that nudity has become a modern trend amongst Abuja young women. As the saying goes one should be dressed in a manner they want to be addressed. Who says nudity is a part of fashion.  Nudity in the African culture is a taboo, yes it is! It has become a common trend amongst Abuja ladies, and is fast taking a hold of their fashion sense. Just very few young women want to wear knee length skirts and blouses that cover the cleavage. Exposing the body does not scream sexy. There are ways to be covered and still have that hot, sexy look we all crave. I would like to suggest a few tips to help you dress in a manner that one won’t classify you as a nudist category, tips to help you look sexy, classy and beautiful 1.    When you expose cleavage, do not expose your thighs. Exposing top and bottom makes you look naked. If you expose your cleavage, make sure your dress covers your thighs to avoid looking nude 2.    Do save all the micro minis and dresses for parties and club nights. Try to know which dress can be worn on the street for a casual walk and what one should be saved  for night outs with your girlfriends 3.    If you are PHAT please try to wear dresses your size, no one wants to see stomach folds and stretch marks around your leg areas. It is wise to cover up most part of your skin to give you a slimmer look. 4.    If your legs are fuller inside try a side slit, if your legs are fuller outside try a mid-front or back slit is a better choice to show off beautiful legs. 5.    A slim V-neck makes the neck appear longer and is usually very friendly, boat necks are great for minimizing waist and hips while maximizing sexy shoulders 6.    Bright areas brings attention to  an area, make sure you wear them wisely on your most flattering body parts Make sure you try out your favorite outfits and always try to look gorgeous, but in doing that do not forget that nudity is not fashion. The more you cover up the more your femininity is appreciated.

 

£3,000 UK VISA DEPOSIT: FG, Reps kick against new policy

On JunABUJA— The Federal Government, yesterday, vowed to defend the interests of Nigerians, following the introduction of a new visa policy by the British government. The policy requires Nigerians travelling to the United Kingdom to produce a cash bond of N730,000 (3,000 pounds, $4,600 or 3,500 euros) before they enter the UK

David Cameroun

The Sunday Times newspaper had reported that visitors from Nigeria, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Ghana whose nationals are deemed to pose a “high risk” of immigration abuse will be required to produce the bond which they will forfeit if they overstay in Britain after their visas have expired.
Reacting, yesterday, while rendering account of his stewardship at the Radio House in Abuja, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Olugbenga Ashiru, said the Federal Government was yet to receive any official communication from the UK government.
“We have received no official communication from the UK government. When we receive communication from them, we will study whatever proposal they bring and know what to do.
“But I can assure all Nigerians that the Jonathan government will defend the interest of Nigerians by whatever means we can. So, when we get their proposal, we will study it and we will see how we can guide the ordinary Nigerians,” Ashiru said.
UK Visa bond unacceptable —House Committee
House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs, has also condemned the new British visa policy, saying it is discriminatory and unacceptable.
Chairman of the committee,  Nnenna Elendu-Ukeje, in a statement issued in Abuja, said such policy was not in the best interest of Nigeria and Nigerians.
“This is totally discriminatory and unacceptable. It is targeted at non-white Commonwealth”, she said.
Ukeje (PDP-Abia) said as a Committee on Foreign Affairs, the House of Representatives would take a critical look at the policy as it affects Nigerians and come up with a way forward.
According to her, “they should realise that it is not in the best interest of UK. We will, as a country, look at it vis-a- vis our citizens and come up with a decision. We agree totally with the UK Foreign Minister that the policy is totally unworkable and impractical.
It is contrary to the commitment made to our President by David Cameron during their last meeting. We believe it is for political reason ahead of general election. We seek that our long historical relationship should take precedence over political expediency,” Ukeje advised.
The pilot scheme of the new visa policy is scheduled to commence in November. According to the Sunday Times, the controversial move by the UK home secretary, Theresa May, to introduce the Australian-style system reflects her determination to show that the Conservatives are serious about cutting immigration into the UK .
Ms May said: “This is the next step in making sure our immigration system is more selective, bringing down net migration from the hundreds of thousands to the tens of thousands, while still welcoming the brightest and the best to Britain .”
She added: “In the long run we’re interested in a system of bonds that deters overstaying and recovers costs if a foreign national has used our public services.”
The Home Office is targeting countries which have high volumes of visitor visa applications and what it deems to be relatively high levels of fraud and abuse.

Flying Eagles Hit Cuba 3 – 0

25 June, 2013

Flying Eagles got their FIFA U-20 World Cup back on track as they recovered from their opening defeat to Portugal to cruise past Cuba 3-0 in Kayseri.

A first-half double from Animu Umar, followed by captain Abdul Ajagun getting his third of the tournament, allowing the Flying Eagles to reassert their knock-out stage aspirations, in what was the pairs first meeting at any level of international football.
Nigeria were unable to break down the Cuban’s early on, with Chidi Osuchukwu’s speculative free-kick the closest they came. Eagles’ man of the moment Ajagun almost opened the scoring with a superb lob, from the right of the penalty area while running at full pace, but Sandy Sanchez was relieved to see it land on the roof of the net.
Seconds later they were ahead. Ajagun fed Olarenwaju Kayode down the left wing, who got clear of the defence, before squaring to Umar to score what is likely to be one of the simplest goals of his career.
Umar had another four minutes later, which had a touch of flair to it. Osuchukwu’s deep corner eventually found Abdullahi Shehu, who drilled a cross that Umar flicked between his legs and into the bottom corner. Olaitan Michael almost made it three with a superb right-footed effort that cannoned off the outside of the post.
Nigeria were in full control, and that continued into the second period, Kayode breaking beyond the back line and firing wide across goal. He charged forward in similar style moments later, but in choosing to square to Ajagun, Abel Martinez was able to clear.
Ajagun did get his goal though, with 67 minutes on the clock. Kingsley Madu’s cross deceived Sanchez and Ajagun stooped to head home, seeing him become the top-scorer so far. Ajagun missed the chance to double his tally for the day late on, missing from the penalty spot after Martinez upended Kayode in the area.

60 YEAR OLD MAN CAUGHT MOLESTING 17 YEAR OLD IN CAR

60-Yr-Old Man Caught Molesting 17-Year-Old In Car

A SIXTY-YEAR-OLD man was last Wednesday arrested by the police in Kumasi after he was caught fingering a 17-year-old girl in a car at Kwadaso, a suburb of Kumasi.
Opanyin Kofi Appiah was caught in the act on Wednesday morning by some residents, who had suspected him for the past three months of engaging in sexual activity with young girls in the area.
According to information, the suspect was frequently found parking his vehicle on the road side, close to the Kwadaso Beposo Cluster of
Schools, and would call young school girls under the pretext of sending them on an errand.
His persistent attitude did not, however, go down well with a security man at the school, who decided to put him under surveillance.
Luck, however, ran out on the suspect last week, when he called one of the school girls, Sarah Nimo and asked her to buy him a slice of water melon.
The security man, Nana Nimo, told a radio correspondent with KESSBEN FM, Awuku Addo that after the girl had brought the water melon, Opanyin Kofi Appiah, asked her to sit in the car which the girl innocently obliged.
Some few minutes later, Nana Nimo, who was carefully watching proceedings approached the vehicle and forcibly opened the door and saw the suspect busily fingering the girl whilst she also massaged his penis.
Opanyin Appiah, who was in pajamas with no pants on, had folded the cloth up to the stomach and busily taking advantage of the poor girl, said to be an imbecile.
An alarm raised by Nana Nimo drew the attention of neighbours and passersby to the scene and the suspect was subsequently arrested and handed over to the Sofoline Police.
Some residents around the area confirmed that they had seen the suspect on countless occasions in a parked vehicle at the vicinity. E N D.

JONATHAN'S LOYALIST MAY CONTROL NEW PDP NWC

Jonathan’s loyalists may control new PDP NWC

President Goodluck Jonathan

There are strong indications that President Goodluck Jonathan’s loyalists may dominate the Peoples Democratic Party’s National Working Committee after the party’s special convention in July.

Already, supporters of President Goodluck Jonathan and the Peoples Democratic Party leadership have initiated moves  to ensure that some  immediate past members of the PDP  National Working Committee do not return to the committee.

Investigations by The  PUNCH  on Sunday  revealed that the President and Tukur’s loyalists have also identified  some prominent PDP members  who lost out during the party’s 2012 national convention as aspirants that must be stopped from being elected into the NWC at the forthcoming convention of the party.

Such politicians  are those said to be against  Jonathan’s   2015 ambition and Tukur’s  continued leadership of the PDP.

Our source in Abuja said that the loyalists decided to move against such politicians on learning that they had  started reaching out to see if they could be favoured  in the forthcoming special convention of the party slated for July 20.

The source boasted  that the ambition of some of the eight NWC members who resigned  during last Thursday’s  61st committee meeting of the party, to return to their former offices  would not be feasible.

  The eight – Dr. Sam Sam Jaja (Deputy National Chairman), Abubakar Mustapha (National Organising Secretary), Alhaji Garba Chima (National Youth Leader),  Chief Solomon Onwe (Acting National Secretary), Kema Chikwe (Woman Leader), Victor Kwom (National Legal Adviser), Chief Olisa Metuh  (National Publicity Secretary),  and Bala Kaoje (National Treasurer) – were among 17 officers of the PDP whose positions were voided by the Independent National Electoral Commission for not meeting the party’s guidelines.

 Our source  in the PDP said, “Jonathan is in charge. Tukur is also in charge of the PDP.  I can tell you that any member of our party perceived to be against the President’s 2015 ambition and Tukur’s leadership of the PDP can not  be elected an NWC member. Quote me. The President’s loyalists and many of our governors in support of the chairman have started what I call ‘stop them moves’. So,  I do not  see how they can seek election on July 20  when our special convention would  hold   and win.”

 Jaja is seen as an ally of the Governor of Rivers State, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, who has been suspended from the party. Governors close to Amaechi, who heads the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, are believed to be the arrowheads of  the oppostion against Jonathan’s 2015 ambition and Tukur’s leadership.

Investigations showed that some hawks in the party have already started   pushing for Jaja’s replacement with another candidate.

In this regard, the name of the former occupier of the office, Mr. Uche Secondus, who is also from the state, is being  touted.

Secondus, though a native of  the state, was loyal to Amaechi but shifted his loyalty during the crisis that led to the disqualification of former Governor of Bayelsa State, Mr. Timi Sylva, from running for a second term.

Also, intense lobbying  is said to be ongoing to prevent Kaoje from returning to office as he is said not to meet the constitutional provision for the office.

Kaoje is an engineer, while the PDP constitution stipulates that the party’s treasurer must be an accountant.

Chapter V of the constitution, which states  the duties and qualifications of national officers, says, concerning the treasurer, “a national treasurer shall be an accountant with track records of prudence.”

Apart from this, Kaoje is said to have argued against the suspension of the Governor of Sokoto State, Alhaji Aliyu Wamakko, by the PDP leadership.

He  was one of the few members of the NWC,  who advised against the governor’s suspension.Wamakko has however   been recalled.

Kaoje’s  action was   termed as “anti-Jonathan” by some close allies of the President.

Our correspondent gathered that it was because of the pressure to replace some of the officers with the President’s loyalists that made the convention committee to call for fresh nominations.

Already, Chief Chyna Iwuanyanwu, who is vying for the office of National Publicity Secretary, has hailed the call for fresh nomination.

While commending the call for fresh nomination, Iwuanyanwu told our correspondent that the action of the party showed it was patriotic.

He said, “The development has once again proved that the PDP is a party of patriots and democrats with unqualified credentials and statesmanship.

“The decision will heal the wounds of 2012 national convention by allowing delegates to choose their leaders through a transparent, open, democratic process.”

The Secretary of the committee, who is also the Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, confirmed the re-opening of nomination for the offices.

He, however, said that the committee would keep to  zoning.

Ekweremadu said, “We are going to keep all the positions within the zones, but within the zones, if there is any strong reason for us to change a particular candidate, that will happen, but for now, we are going to keep all the positions in the zones that are keeping them presently, we are not changing the zoning formula of the NWC members.

“We are reopening nominations, yes, we are reopening nominations. This is a new convention, they will pay, it is not the old convention.”

Apart from this, almost all those appointed to the committee are known supporters of the President.

Among them  are Prof. Jerry Gana (Chairman), Governor Godswill Akpabio (Deputy Chairman) and Governors Theodore Orji (Abia), Shehu Shema (Kastsina), Gabriel Suswam (Benue) Emmanuel Uduaghan (Delta) and Isa Yuguda (Bauchi).

Also on the lists are the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Sen. Pius Anyim and the Political Adviser to the President, Mr. Ahmed Gulak.

“These people are not there for fun. They are there to screen the list of all aspirants and weed out those considered to be anti-Jonathan,” a Presidency source said.

Meanwhile, the hope of the South-West to replace the former National Secretary of the party, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, may be stalled as a result of the court action he instituted against the party.

The former governor of Osun State is still in court challenging an Abuja Federal High Court ruling, which said that the faction  that produced him from the zone before the national convention elected him, was not the correct one.

But Oyinlola, who was the candidate of the governors at the 2012 convention, is presently in court contesting the court ruling.

Oyinlola’s election at the convention was however not faulted by the INEC’s report.

 Tukur  has however said the recent reconciliatory efforts made at the end of Thursday’s NEC meeting  has started yielding positive results.

He said that many state chapters of the party had started receiving   members  who defected from other political parties.

Tukur was reacting to what happened in Nasarawa State where he received defectors from the Action Congress of Nigeria, Labour Party, All Nigeria Peoples Party and the Congress for Progressive Change in Lafia.

Tukur said in a statement   by his Special Assistant on Media,  Oliver Okpara, that all the defectors would receive equal treatment .

I'M FINE WITH MY BABY, I CAN NEVER KILL HIM, SAYS OAU STUDENT MOTHER

I'm fine with my baby, I can never kill him, says OAU student-mother



OYINLOLA Diana Rotimi, an undergraduate of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, who was reported to have allegedly attempted to flush her new born baby down the toilet at the Moremi Hall of the university has dsiclosed that she knew she was pregnant and never attempted to kill her baby.
Nigerian Tribune gathered that Oyinlola is a 22-year-old 300 level student of Agricultural Extension and Rural Development of the university who resides off campus. But owing to the fact that she was going to sit for an examination at the early hours of Wednesday, she decided to squat with a friend who resides on campus in Room 103, Block B, Moremi Hall.
The student-mother who is currently in stable condition with her son at the University's Health Centre, according to sources confided in some of her friends about her pregnancy and the father of the baby, a Medical Engineering student of the same institution.
She said "Why would I flush or kill my baby after going through the pains of carrying it for good nine months. I'm not heartless and I thank God for my life and the safe delivery. I know God has the best for me and my baby. I seriously appreciate the cleaners for their help because I got here (the health centre) before I could understand everything that happened to me, but now, I'm happy, I'm alive and my baby is alive too," Oyinlola revealed.
Meanwhile, OAU Public Relations Officer, Abiodun Olanrewaju corroborated the claim, saying, the alleged flushing of the baby by one of the institution's undergraduate was not true after all.
Olanrewaju in a statement a copy of which was made available to the Nigerian Tribune stated that " Contrary to versions of story surrounding the incident of a childbirth which occurred at the Moremi Hall of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, on Wednesday, 19th June, 2013, the visitation to the health centre early this morning and interaction with the mother of the baby by the Security Unit of the University, the Dean, Students' Affairs and the PRO, revealed that Diana Oyinlola was willing to have the baby and that there was no attempt whatsoever to conceal the pregnancy, talk less of aborting it and talk less of wanting to flush the baby away through the Water closet.
"The truth of the matter is that, there was a delivery of a baby boy by an inexperienced mother who, in her naivety, thought she was pressed by call of nature while she was actually in labour pains. Prior to the appearance of the baby, the young, inexperienced mother had discovered that she was bleeding and went to the toilet only to observe that something expelled into the water closet. It was at that juncture that she screamed and shouted for help.
"As at now, Diana Oyinlola's parent was with her and she (Oyin) has started breast feeding her baby.
Upon interaction, in the presence of Matron Mrs. M.G. Oyedele, Oyin stated that prior to the delivery, she was passing stool and had visited toilet several times but the last time she went around 7:am, she could not describe how she was feeling.
"Thereafter, our Security Unit invited Satope for interrogation and confirmed the claim of Diana Oyinlola. Satope stated that Diana had to spend the night (18/06/2013) on campus to enable her prepare for her 8:00 am examination the next day because she stays off-campus. She stated that at mid-night, Oyin started complaining of stomach upset and was visiting toilet regularly. She claimed that at about few minutes to 7:00am, the roommates suggested that Oyin be taken to the University Health Center to enable her write the early morning examination in good health.
"It was around this time that Oyin went back to the toilet and that she (Satope) traced her to the toilet but later discovered that she had expelled what is now known as a baby in the toilet. She stated further that at the sight of the baby, she was stunned and called for help from the cleaner who later came and assisted in taking the baby from the WC to the Health Center.
"However, she stated that Oyinlola never intended to flush the baby but that she (Oyinlola) gave birth before her due date (EDD July) but was only ignorant of the tell tale signs of incoming baby, being the first experience," Olanrewaju stated.
