This apparently happened on Friday night, on set of a movie. Princess Chineke claims another actress on set bit her and removed the skin on her thighs during an argument. Her story below...

Princess' story. I came in late to camp, the hotel rooms were full so I was asked to share room with her. Few nights she stayed in, she was always making mid night calls. So I asked her to go out of the room or make the calls in the toilet with the doors locked. The other night she made calls at 1am putting the caller on speaker.
Hearing a male voice from sleep I woke up thinking a guy was in the room only to discover it was  her putting her caller on speaker. I complained to the management they said they will get another room for me but there was no room after yesterdays shoot. Told her she is disturbing . she insulted me so we exchanged words I ended up sleeping on set the next day. When I got back to the hotel I had my bathe laid down on the bed she said she wanted my space. She called the pm(product manager) saying they should throw me out. I'm not supposed to be in the project and the hotel. I said the way she was brought in , I came in as well. She insulted my family ,I told her she has no right to decide who is in a job or not its not her fathers job! She bounced on my lap with her teeth. She hit me in their front b4 I could hit back the men cane in separated us. She said check your leg see what I did to you? I didn't feel the pain until I went to pee I saw she ripped my washed pants in the bathroom. I pulled the pyjamas and saw a chunk of my flesh out. Showed it to every one who ran to the room. The management took me to another hotel ,then hospital to make sure I was properly treated. Presently shooting in iyana paja. Name of program :Behind the smile. Happened 11:30pm yesterday. That's Friday. Her name is Chrystabel goddy. Still in the hospital with stitches and my wound still bleeding.

NDLEA Arrests Mother Of Three With 904 Grammes of Cocaine at Abuja Airport

                   
The operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) yesterday arrested one Mrs. Saidat Bola Hassan at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja. 

The 48 year old suspect, mother of three was suppose to fly to Jedda, Saudi Arabia, through an Egypt Airline flight en-route Cairo when she was apprehended during screening. She had ingested about 80 wraps of a white powdery substance weighing 904 grammes that later tested positive for cocaine.
NDLEA Abuja airport Commander Mr. Hamisu Lawan said that efforts were made to protect her from any harm resulting from drug ingestion.

“As soon as we discovered that the suspected wraps she vomited tested positive for cocaine, we took measures to ensure her safety by preventing any harm that may result from drug ingestion.
While under observation, she excreted sixty-five (65) similar wraps. In all, she ingested eighty wraps of cocaine weighing 904 grammes; her case is under investigation” Hamisu stated.

Chairman of NDLEA, Col. Mohammad Mustapha Abdallah (rtd) said

“This is gross ineptitude on the part of a mother saddled with the responsibility of nurturing her children into future leaders. I am glad that she did not die from drug ingestion and she is alive to face trial. Besides escaping the risk of swallowing cocaine, this arrest also saved her because drug trafficking in Saudi Arabia is punishable by death. She will soon be charged to court because the law must run its full course. I expect the general public to learn lessons from this case that drug trafficking leads to pain, ignominy and untimely death,” Abdallah said.

Narrating her ordeal, Mrs. Saidat Bola Hassan, a native of Idiroko, Ogun State who resides in Lagos Island said that she is a business woman dealing in clothing materials. According to her,
“I am a business woman and I sell women clothes at Balogun Market. I used to buy my goods from Ghana. I was introduced into the drug business by a friend and business partner. The drug was brought from Abidjan, Ivory Coast and we were to share the proceeds equally. Until my arrest, I never knew that the cocaine I ingested would have led to my death in Saudi Arabia. I thank God for keeping me alive”.

President Obama recites love poem to his wife Michelle on Ellen DeGeneres show

                           The US president was a guest on Ellen's show yesterday, which aired in the US today, where he revealed he would be spending Valentine apart from his wife, Michelle Obama. Ellen then made him recite a love poem he'd written specially for the US first Lady. See that after the cut...

“Somebody call the Situation Room because things are about to get hot,” said the president, as he stood in front of a red curtain and amid bouquets of red roses and white lilies as Barry White-style music played in the background.

“Michelle, this Valentine’s Day I’m going to treat you right. I’m going to make you some zucchini bread. Then I’ll spread out some veggies on a plate just the way you like them,” he said.

“Then I’ll give you a massage while you watch Ellen’s Design Challenge on HGTV. Because I love you so much, I Obamacare about you more than you even know.”

Turning serious, Obama said: “Michelle, I’ve made a lot of great decisions as president. The best decision I ever made was choosing you. Thanks for putting up with me. I love you.”
