Uti Nwachukwu

The media personality disagreed with popular African belief that people with superior powers, otherwise known as “Village people”, can destroy people’s lives and impede their progress.

Uti took to Twitter to express his thoughts. According to him, the major reason why Nigerian still believe that their destinies can be manipulated is ignorance or lack of Knowledge, as he called it.

He tweeted,

“I still wonder how a lot of Nigerians were and are still deceived that another human being made of flesh and blood can ‘steal and use your destiny / Progress’

Children of the Lord really suffer from lack of Knowledge. SMH

Who do us this thiiing????”

“You need to step up your game” – Bobrisky advises ladies, as he flaunts credit alert of N25M

Controversial Nigerian crossdresser, Bobrisky has advised ladies to step up their game as he flaunts 25 Million naira credit alert he received today, March 15th.

According to Bobrisky waking up to credit alert of millions of naira is peculiar to the “big girl” lifestyle.

The socialite received the alert in three batches, first; 10 Million Naira, second; 5 Million Naira, and third; 10 Million Naira, amounting to a sum of 25 Million Naira.

Sharing screenshot of the credit alert, Bob wrote,

“If you claim you are a big girl and dis type of alert hasn’t woken u up from sleep on a Monday morning…. 15th March you need to step up ur game from Bobrisky. 25million alert on a Monday morning. See I won’t stop doing good. See money now. What is your own Monday saying ?”

This is coming after Bob took a swipe at ladies who dub themselves “big girls”, but fail to support their partners in trying times.

In a post shared by the male barbie via Snapchat, he averred that a lady attains the level of a big girl only if she has ever rendered financial help to her man when he needed it.

According to him, against trying times, men need financial support from their women and a woman who cannot provide such is not worthy to be called a big girl.

UNN student commits suicide after his phone was allegedly seized and script torn by lecturer for cheating during exam

UNN student commits

A student of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, identified as Daniel Mba, has committed suicide by jumping from the third-floor of a storey building on Friday, March 12.

 UNN student commits

According to reports, the 300level student of Biochemistry, was caught cheating with his phone during the ongoing examination, prompting the invigilator to tear his script few minutes to the end of the exam.

The lecturer reportedly seized his phone and handed him a new script to start afresh.

Following the incident, the deceased left the examination hall and went to his lodge at Onuiyi, in Nsukka Local Government Area of the state, where he plunged from the third floor of his lodge around 11:34 pm, after the poisonous substances including rat poison he ingested failed to produce immediate result.

An occupant of the lodge, identified as Nkechi Abo, said after the incident, they rushed to the deceased room where they found rat poison, bleach containers and syringes.

Another occupant, Christabel Okpara, told Vanguard that they alerted the caretaker when they found the student struggling for life after plunging from the third floor.

He was immediately rushed to the Bishop Shanahan Hospital, Nsukka where he died in the early hours of Saturday, March 13.

The caretaker told Vanguard that he reported the incident to the police after every attempt to revive him failed in the hospital.

“A friend who stayed with him when he regained consciousness in the hospital said he complained of frustration with his last examination encounter and financial hardship. He told him that his family was not giving him enough money for upkeep. He said he was bitter that the lecturer also seized his phone,” the caretaker narrated.

“When I rushed to the lodge, I saw him on the floor clutching a kitchen knife. We immediately rushed him to the hospital and he was given immediate medical attention. We later returned to his room where we discovered rat poison and bleach. We also saw syringes on the floor. We also saw a rope tied to his ceiling fan.

“He is a loner because I have not seen him with any friend since he parked into the lodge. I was surprised that one girl who identified herself as Scholastica showed up as his girlfriend. I think he must have been suffering from depression silently.”

Veteran Nollywood actor, Pete Edochie has kicked against Nigerian women leaving their marriages on the ground of infidelity.

In a video shared via Instagram, the veteran stated that women who abandon their homes due to their husband’s sexual promiscuity are only copying white women. According to him, going through multiple divorce and marriages doesn’t play out well for Nigerian women.

He went on to share an interesting piece of advice to women dealing with cheating husbands.

He said:

“If you think the husband is leaving the house to go and have an affair outside, put a packet of condom in his pocket. Psychologically, he’s gonna think, ‘this woman has my interest at her’. If it is his intention to stray, he’ll pull himself together.”

Singer and motivational speaker Kechi Okwuchi, one of the two survivors of the Sosoliso plane crash on December 10, 2005, and a finalist at the 2017 America’s Got Talent has admonished folks on social media to show off their ‘scars’.

This is coming after she celebrated 15 years of surviving the plane crash which claimed 107 lives.

She took to social media to share this beautiful photo, to remember her friends and rededicate her life to the promise she made. Captioning the photo, Kechi wrote:

Today is the 15th anniversary of my accident, the Sosoliso plane crash of 2005.

Every year on this day, I rededicate my life to the promise I made, to live for those who passed away that day, especially my school mates, the 60 Angels, and their loved ones they left behind so suddenly.

This year, many of us had plans that were derailed, hopes that were crushed… loved ones that were lost. This year, I am harshly reminded that life and death are 2 sides of the same coin, and that it is truly through God’s grace that we are on this side of the coin right now.

Today, I am extremely humbled by the simple gift of life and health.

As I continue to live for myself, for the angels and for their loved ones, I will also live with the intent to appreciate every new day as it comes, and to truly live in the present.

Rest In Peace, angels 🙏🏼
