In your youth, you should ‘japa’ if you have the opportunity to do so — Dr. Joe Abah

Popular Nigerian Barrister, Dr Joe Abah has advised young Nigerians to leave the country if they have the opportunity.

The respected Dr. made the statement while telling the story of when he moved abroad for the first time.

According to Dr. Joe, when he got to the UK for the first time, he could see a clear path to succeeding in life but he couldn’t see that path as a young man in Nigeria.

His tweet reads ;

Moving abroad the 1st time, I didn’t watch any in-flight movie. My eyes were firmly on the flight display. As soon as we left Nigeria, I made the sign of the Cross. When we left Africa, I whispered “Alleluia! If this plane does emergency landing now, it won’t be in Africa sha!”

It’s true that when I got to the UK for the first time, I thought “Is this all?” However, I could see a clear path to how I could own a car, buy a house and build a career. I couldn’t see that path as a young man in Nigeria. I still don’t see it for many young Nigerians now.

In your youth, you should japa if you want to and have an opportunity to do so. Get the basics, like a car, a house, a 90-inch TV and a bad bad sound system. Build your CV there & show them you are a determined Naija person. If, later, you want to come back, it’ll be by choice.

‘We had lost several babies before’ – Comedian, Seyi Law opens up on wife’s miscarriages

Popular Nigerian comedian, Oluwaseyitan Aletile, popularly known as Seyi Law is still filled with ecstasy over the birth of his second daughter.

The comic act had left fans and followers surprised after he announced the birth of his second daughter with his wife, Stacey, because he had not shared any photos of his wife while she was pregnant.

In a recent chat with Punch, the proud father of two stated that the pregnancy was not shrouded in secrecy but he wanted his spouse to enjoy the nine-month journey on her terms.

He is quoted as saying,

“Some celebrities keep their pregnancies secret but that is not it for me. I hold my family dearly and I am always proud to show them off. There was really no reason we did make my wife’s pregnancy known to the public. A woman’s body changes during pregnancy and she may not want to be so out there at those times. We did not hide my wife’s pregnancy. I just did not want to post her photos. I wanted her to enjoy her pregnancy. It was not about me but her. She is on social media but does not post much. 2020 was a wholesome year for me. Many lives were lost but I had an addition to my family and I am very grateful to God. Posting pictures of my wife and children is my way of showing gratitude to God for the beautiful things He has given me.

Narrating his painful experience on the several babies lost through miscarriages, Law says,

“The birth of my second child was the icing on the cake for me. At some point last year, some people could even have contracted COVID-19 unknowingly but miraculously got well. I lost several family members in 2020 but December ended well. Despite the ones we lost in the past (miscarriages), before and after Tiwa. In fact, we should have had a child last year but we lost it due to a medical condition. I don’t know about anyone else but I am thankful,” he told Sunday Scoop.

While Seyi Law revealed that he isn’t one of those men who’d prefer male children over female children, he says he’ll be satisfied if he has three girls.

He said,

“Unfortunately, I could only watch the delivery on phone. I was not there physically with her. Her friend was there, so we had a video call. My wife had been schooling in the United Kingdom since 2019 and she had the baby there. I am not one of those men who prefer male children to females. I just want to have three children, then stop, though that is still open to discussion. Having Tiwa made me bond better with girls. I don’t know about boys at all. I f I have three girls, I am satisfy. I love this experience. I cannot wait for Tiwa to be grown enough to go on outings with me. I am sure some people would be jealous because I have seen admirable daughter/father relationships and they were a wonder to behold.”

The controversy triggered the Media Aide to delete the photo following the revelation that the photo was not from Plateau. The aide then revealed he got the photo from a friend in early 2020, who also insisted that he took the photo in Plateau state.

He wrote,

Tweeted this picture with a caption “This is from Plateau, Nigeria”, some respondents said otherwise, I got the picture from a friend early 2020, who still insisting that he took the photo in PT, anyway, I deleted the tweet. Whether from PT or not, I believe we have best there.

Brothers pay surprise visit to Akara seller who gave them free snacks everyday on their way to school 40 years ago (Photos)

A Nigerian man, Ugochukwu Tony Oputa from Ozubulu, Anambra State on Sunday, took to his facebook page to share an emotional story of his father and uncles’ reunion with a generous Akara seller, who used to give them free snacks everyday on their way to school forty years ago.

Oputa shared the photos and wrote ;

Today, while having the usual morning round table discus with my kinsmen, my Dad recollected the story of a lady who sold Akara while they were very small. He stated how the lady would always give them Akara every day they passed her place while going to school.

My Dad’s brothers also stated the same. They said it got to a point that the lady would deliberately keep aside some portion of Akara to give to them anytime that stopped by. This was over 3-4 decades ago, and the lady should be way above 100 years now.

My Dad said thoughts of the Lady had always crossed his mind and was of the opinion that he had an obligation to see her, at least while she was still alive.

Heartwarming moment brothers pay surprise visit to Akara seller who gave them free snacks everyday on their way to school 40 years ago

My Dad’s brothers bought into the idea and within minutes, we decided to drive and go locate “Daada”

When we arrived at her place, it was amazing to see how agile she seemed after living for over a century.

Immediately we got to her, she hugged every one of us with excitement and rubbed our foreheads with the charcoal on her fingers, while raining blessings on us. Amazingly, Daada was able to recognize the “Children”

They recounted their experiences with her, mehn, you need to see her excitement. The thing is, she never had any child of her own, but her kindness to these children was phenomenal, and for these “children” to visit her unexpectedly after many years, in remembrance of her act of kindness, it was a great deal to her. She entertained us with groundnuts.

When we were about to leave, everyone put funds together and gave to Daada for Christmas, and Daada told us to come together, went in to bring get her Bible, and started praying for everyone.She went on to tell us to write our prayer points individually in her Bible. It was an awesome experience for me, as I left there feeling so blessed.

She prayed for us from her heart. In her words when translated,

“I’m not leaving yet, but still, you all will live longer than me. As you came together today, please when I finally leave this world, you all should come when I’m being laid to rest”

May our good deeds always be remembered.

“I lost my pregnancy after Kaduna govt demolished my restaurant” – Owner of restaurant where Kaduna sex party was scheduled to take place, says

The Kaduna state government has demolished a building where a sex party was scheduled to hold in the state, following the arrest of the organisers.

Recall that Kaduna State Police Command arrested organisers of the maiden edition of a “Kaduna sex party” which was slated to hold in the northern state.

The party which was scheduled to hold last Sunday was called off, as promoters of the party were arrested before the D-day and the venue pulled down.

However the owner of Asher Kings and Queens Restaurant in Kaduna State, Aisha Mercy Yakubu, has denied plans to hold a sex party.

In a statement, Yakubu stated that she had no idea that such party was scheduled to hold in her facility.

According to her, the organizers reached out to her and asked to use her premises for a “15-man reunion and clothing line promo”.

She further revealed that she was never informed about the demolition and was only aware of it when the government officials had begun to pull down the building with her properties inside. Adding that, the trauma led to the loss of her one-month-old pregnancy.

The statement reads,

“THE STORY OF ASHER KINGS AND QUEENS RESTAURANT… This is my story

The Asher Kings and Queens Restaurant is 34 sitting-capacity- at -a -time restaurant, located at #75 Kachia Road,Sabon Tasha,Kaduna State, registered with the Corporate Affairs Commision, with with the registration number BN2463851 on 5th December,2016, under the COMPANIES AND ALLIED MATTERS ACT 1990 Food Production and Processing Services.

The Restaurant is a one-storey building structure, with a VIP Lounge section, where premium customers relax to watch football league games in a cozy environment, with all the comfort; air conditioners and light music.

Whilst the ground floor is where the kitchen and serving spot is, also with chairs and tables for customers to sit and eat their food as required. We hire/rent the VIP section for light events, of not more than 26 customers.

On the 27th December,2020, a customer hired the VIP Lounge for a 15-man reunion/Clothing line promo, to appreciate his customers for their good patronage of his brands.

Before the event proper commenced, a friend of mine and I noticed an unusual movement around the main gate to the restaurant, as it was half opened to avoid a crowded environment. We approached the main gate and on getting there I saw two truckloads of heavily armed officers of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).

I asked the team leader what was going on but he ignored my question and said he will explain to me when we get to the Police Station, Sabon Tasha Division. When we arrived at the Police station, my customer, who accompanied me to the station, enquired what the matter was and the Police showed us a poster on a GSM phone belonging to one of the officers by name Inspector Felix. It was a poster of an event titled; KADUNA SEX PARTY, which the Police claimed the venue for the supposed “sex party” was scheduled to hold at my restaurant, even though with no address of where it will take place on the poster.

I denied knowledge of that event as there was nothing of that sort taking place at the restaurant and I wouldn’t stoop so low to entertain such illicit activity at my place,but the Police refused to believe me and had my friend and two of my staff detained for one night, one day, until the customer that had earlier hired the place for usage on that fateful day was also arrested the next day. They were released after paying a “bail fee” of #100,000 to Inspector Felix and one other lady Officer,fair in complexion.

I noticed how incompetent the NPF were. I suggested to them to call the number on the supposed “Kaduna Sex Party” poster, which they immediately put a call through and a name came out using the True Caller App as MARVELLOUS AKPAN. The Police asked me to pay a fee of #20,000 for them to do their job of tracking the user of the phone number, which I immediately paid them so that they will swing into action.

Marvellous Akpan was arrested the next. He was interrogated and he obliged to owning the phone number on the poster and printing of the poster which was posted on Social Media, assisted by a friend of his named Noah and one other guy.

On further interrogation, Mr. Marvellous Akpan confessed to the Police that he doesn’t know me and has never been to my restaurant nor have any knowledge of its address.

Mr. Chimeze, who had hired the place was released, summarily, after the successful arrest of Mr Akpan. The next day, 31st December, while at the other Branch of my restaurant, at Court Road,Sabon Tasha, Kaduna, a friend of mine called me asked me to go to the main Restaurant and see what was going on. I immediately went and saw a combined team of Police men, Soldiers, KASTLEA, and Vigilante groups guarded a Payloader to demolish my restaurant.

No prior notice was served to me before the demolition, there was no any form of communication between me and the Kaduna State Property Development Agency (KASUPDA) who came to demolish the building structure. Even when they arrived at the location, the main entrance to the Main Restaurant and the restaurant was under lock and key. There was no any form of communication to me! I watched them pulled down the building without allowing me remove any item before the demolition.

As a result of the trauma, I lost my one-month-old pregnancy. I also incurred the following loses; 1. cooking utensils 2.furniture 3.Electric appliances 4. Chillers 5. Deep freezers 6. Bemarrings out door catering utensils 7. Cash,et al worth over #32 million, as the place was abruptly vandalized after the demolition.

I plan to seek legal redress for defamation of my character and the loss of my properties in the building.

Asher Kings and Queens Restaurant,Sabon Tasha, Kaduna
