A mother, named Titilayo Adigun, and her four children were burnt to death on Wednesday night, March 17, when a candlelight started a massive fire that burnt their house in Kwara state.
The mother and her five children were sleeping at their home at Ifesowapo community, Tanke, Ilorin, Kwara State, with a candle lighting one of the rooms, following days of power outage.
The husband and father of the deceased was out to get some things when the incident happened.
Sources close to the family said only one out of the five children survived the inferno. The child is now receiving treatment at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital (UITH), Ilorin.
The landlord of the house, Mr Ibrahim Gana, was the one who rescued the child who survived. He sustained an injury on his hand while rescuing the child.
Speaking on the incident, the chairman of the Ifesowapo community, Mr Awodun Yinka, said that members of the community heard the agonising cries from the room-and-parlour self-contained apartment and quickly rushed down to help, but they were unable to rescue the children.
Nollywood Actress and mother-of-one, Tonto Dikeh has reportedly moved into her new Six-Bedroom mansion.
Although the move was ‘lowkey’ as the actress didn’t make any announcement on her page, a friend of hers made a clip showing the interior of the house.
See the video below as shared by Instagram blogger, @cutiejuls
Reacting to the video, some fans have heartily concluded that she has moved on from her ex-husband Churchill, who recently welcomed a child with his new wife, Rosy Meurer.
The actress has moved into her new mansion which is located in one of the popular rich neighborhoods in Abuja, an indication of a new beginning.
Former Presidential aide, Doyin Okupe has stated that his son, Bolu, who recently came out as gay, is on a sojourn to the LGBT community to be an instrument of God.
Okupe in an interview with VanguardLiveTV revealed he wept the day he got to know about his son’s sexuality.
According to him, his greatest regrets was allowing Bolu to live in France, which he described as a liberal society. However, he’s revealed to know his son would eventually be an instrument of God to save the community.
In his words,
“We’ve always known that Bolu was like that. He’s even much more than that. He’s incredible with what he does and capable of doing. All his other siblings are one but Bolu had designed his mind to never live in Nigeria.
Unfortunately for me, his mother took him abroad very early. He did major parts of his secondary school in the United Kingdom.
So, Bolu thinks he lives European (he’s my son) but his mind is European. I also know that he’s easily influenced by his environment. I know that for a fact because he came home one time for holiday, and this is the person that’s been questioning the Bible but all of a sudden, he’s on fire in terms of scripture having spent some months in Nigeria. His elder brother who is a pastor now helped him spiritually during that time.
I made the greatest mistake to send him to France because that’s an extremely liberal society. So, the family had known that Bolu had that tendency. The day I knew, I wept. (I) have gone past that. We’re just praying for him but I also know that, God’s ways are not our ways, and He knows the beginning from the end. Mark my words, he (Bolu) is on sojourn to the gay community in order to be an instrument of God to that community eventually. That’s what is going to happen by the grace of God”.

On April 28th there was a home invasion and I was sexually assaulted. After being sexually assaulted I was made to lie down, with my face down on the floor.
The next thing I remember is being covered in blood curled up behind my bedroom door. The truth of the matter I did not know I was shot in the head neither did I know I had been shot in the stomach. God didn’t allow me to even feel the pain from the gunshot wounds. The power of God I have to tell you… Guys, He has a plan for us all. The way He proved Himself in this situation even the heathen MUST believe in Him. I suffered from inter-cranial fracture and brain hemorrhaging amongst other things but these were the most serious of the injuries and At one point my family was told I may not make it. But God said, NOT YET!! God My healer, My sustainer raised me healed my body gave me a speedy recovery. He showed the world a miracle. I just wanted to share my testimony with you guys.
Even though I had spent all I worked for and nothing to live on right now as a widow that lost her husband years back, I am forever grateful that my children can still call me mommy and I can hold them in my arms again.
I so much believe that GOD IS IN CONTROL you may not agree with His plan but, he is the creation more than the creator. I think not. He remains on the throne. I will not sit on my testimony I will continue to tell it so I can strengthen anyone going through one problem or the other right now! Peace, love, and blessings to you all.
