She carried out the atrocities and ran away from the house”, he said.
“She beat the children and used knife to cut them. Her sister’s daughter (10-year-old) who was living with them was another victim but she survived with cuts on her hand and she is the witness when the incident happened.

A Nigerian man has expressed disappointment with his girlfriend for charging his mom after making her hair in same hair dressing salon he paid for.
The boyfriend who had told his mom to go and make her hair at his girlfriend’s salon, later discovered that she paid for the service.
He then confronted his woman about it, but the girlfriend stated that she wasn’t ready to mix business with pleasure, stressing she couldn’t reject the money his mom offered.
The boyfriend quickly reminded her that he helped set up the salon by paying rent, providing for her needs, hence why she shouldn’t have charged his mom.
He went further to tell her that if she must collect money after making his mother’s hair, she should have asked him to pay and he would have gladly paid.
Feeling let down by her actions, the boyfriend expressed regret for investing in her, noting that she spoilt the one opportunity she could have used to bond with her future mother-in-law.

The directive is coming in the wake of an outrage over alleged criminal and extra-judicial actions of FSARS officers against citizens in various parts of the country.
In the statement, Mba said the IGP also directed that no officer should embark on a patrol in mufti.
“The inspector-general of police, IGP M.A Adamu, NPM, mni has banned the personnel of the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (FSARS) and other Tactical Squads of the Force including the Special Tactical Squad (STS), Intelligence Response Team (IRT), Anti-Cultism Squad and other Tactical Squads operating at the Federal, Zonal and Command levels, from carrying out routine patrols and other conventional low-risk duties – stop and search duties, checkpoints, mounting of roadblocks, traffic checks, etc – with immediate effect,” he said.

“He however condemns every act of unprofessionalism, abuse of human rights and high-handedness by some personnel of the Squads,” the force public relations officer said.
“He has therefore ordered the X-Squad and the Monitoring Unit to embark on immediate and massive nationwide monitoring of activities of Tactical Squads and other police officers on the road.
“They are to ensure prompt arrest, investigation and prosecution of all erring police officers who violate these directives and other extant regulations of the Force.
“The IGP has equally warned that henceforth, the Commissioner of Police in charge of FSARS, Commissioners of Police in charge of State Commands and the FCT as well as their supervisory Zonal Assistant Inspectors General of Police, will be held liable for any misconduct within their Area of Responsibility (AOR).”

“The operational vehicle of the men has also been impounded and disciplinary procedure has already commenced against the defaulters.”
Media personality, Harri Obi has spoken against the pressure the BBNaija celebrity status exerts on its contestants in the aftermath of the reality show.
Harri Obi in his tweets, alleged that he’s heard of former BBNaija housemates begging for N100k jobs and sleeping around to maintain the lifestyle.
He further averred that when the reality show ends, the housemates are always in a silent competition to outdo each other.
Read below ;
The BBN celebrity status is too fickle and exerts unnecessary pressure on someone who only 90 days back trekked to the audition venue. I’ve heard of former HMs that are in the DMs of every brand begging for N100k jobs, and others that sleep around to maintain the lifestyle.
You’re an ordinary person, you get on the show for 90 days & all of a sudden people expect you to be flying private jets, driving Tesla, dinning at Sheraton & rocking Gucci. It’s why when people tell me to go for BBN, I just laugh. Societal expectations are killing your faves.
I once overheard a mentor, the ceo of a big PR Agency in Nigeria, say the biggest mistake you’d ever make as a young person is letting yourself get drawn into the Nigerian celebrity vortex. It will chew and spit you out before you know what’s going on.
As soon as HMs leave the house, there is a silent but loud competition to outdo each other; who’s getting the biggest endorsements? Who’s driving the best cars? Who’s traveling the most? Etc. No one is sitting down and planning their next move. It’s all noise and PR.
A former HM from last season said she was broke and abandoned, Anto said something about being under pressure, Ahneeka wants fans to stop telling her how to live her life and Lucy shared the same sentiments days back. Nobody is teaching these younglings how to be celebrities.
Or should we talk about the intense withdrawal symptoms, how the validity of your fame only lasts 365 days and as soon as the next set of new HMs are announced, your depression skyrockets. I wish these new guys goodluck. They don’t understand the world they’ve been thrown into.

I’m the one in this video
On 25th September 2020 My friend and I were on our way to yaba, to pick up some items which we had to deliver for “daddythebrand on ig” when our bolt got stopped by men without uniforms who claimed to be sars officer.i refused to open the doors because they had no i.d
My friend who accompanied me was asleep so I turned around to wake him up, when I noticed the @Boltapp_ng driver unlocked the doors and they forced their way in. One sat in front while the other at the back sit with us. They asked for our phones which we gave them
After checking our phones and finding nothing they told my friend to get down from the car and get into their bus. He complied. Then he looked to me and asked me to do the same, I refused asking what I had done.. I further asked for his ID card to be sure he is an officer and not
The video above. In the car they started to threaten me. Telling me how they lol lock me up.. chain me and no one would do anything about it. My bolt driver didn’t mention one word through out all this. We drove to some bridge where they put my in hand cuffs
And told me that if I tried to call out for help again, they’ll shoot me and throw my body down and no one would find me. This guys are real demons.i got into their bus then they said they are taking me to SFU division ikoyi. That’s their station.. after driving around
After driving for about 30 minutes to one hour they asked us(me and my guy) to pay them 1 million and I asked why ? Are they no longer taking us to the station to let us know our crime. The one who sat in front who seems to be their boss got angry at my statement which led to Further threats from the guy who sat infront who appears to be their boss
Seeing that we weren’t about to give them that money they ended up bringing it down to 100k which they drove us to zenith bank along osolo way, opposite sos home. Where they made my guy get down from they bus to withdraw the money from the atm at zenith bank
After they got the money they let us go. Till now I still do not know my crime. I called the bolt driver to return the things I left in his car and I found out he has blocked my numbe. Contacted @Boltapp_ng and they said there’s nothing they can do as their Drivers are independent contractors. I have involved my solicitors and I’ll be suing bolt for damages as well as Lagos state, for not employing rogues as officer who’s aim is to kill and loot innocent people

Tacha made this known in a video shared on her YouTube channel during the week.
In her words ;
“I had a breakdown and I had to ask myself― ‘what is the world turning to? What have I learnt’? Back in school, we were taught to always learn moral lessons from stories. The moral lesson I learnt from the COVID-19 lockdown was to (always) spread love. I had to speak to a life coach who told me I needed to take a break, even if it was for three days. It was so bad that I would just lay on my bed, cover myself with clothes and be shaking because I was sad. I did not enjoy that period. I did not enjoy seeing the bad news (all around). I kept taking ginger and garlic every day.”

Rushing her to the hospital in the early hours of today is definitely the scariest thing that ever happened to me. Pray for my baby to be back on her feet soon, Thank you guys for all the messages

Popular Nigerian Author, Reno Omokri has taken a swipe at ladies who feel they should be given money because they are in a relationship.
He said that being a doctor, lawyer or engineer are recognised jobs, however, being a girlfriend is not a globally acknowledged job on earth.
The author targeted his statement at women who call men stingy, adding that only a beggar accuses people of being stingy.
He wrote;
“There are many jobs on Earth:* Doctor* Lawyer* Engineer, etc .Being a girlfriend, however, is NOT one of them. A relationship is not a business.
The word STINGY should never be used by a woman to describe any man that is not her husband or father! Only a woman who wants to STING a man accuses him of being STINGY.
“Only a beggar accuses others of being stingy. A worker can’t accuse her boss of being stingy. You work and you are paid. A businesswoman can’t accuse her customer of being stingy.
You charge and they pay. Being a girlfriend is neither a job or a business”
Veteran musician, Onyeka Onwenu, has called on female Nigerian musicians to stop shaking their bum bum, because men don’t do it.
The music icon also begged women to stay focus and leave behind long lasting legacies.
In a recent interview with TheNation, the singer said: “Be careful of what you live for posterity.
If you can’t give your best, don’t step out because what you recorded is always going to be there for long, so you got to give it the very best.
Center your artistry around something that will last with meaning, not just shaking bumbum and it’s just the women that are always shaking it, the men don’t shake anything.
Women are worth more than shaking their bumbum. Enough of the bumbum. Though, everyone is free to be creative, but just know that yours will not last while the other person with meaningful lyrics will remain evergreen.”
Popular Nigerian socialite, Pretty Mike has revealed that he’s immune to “Kanyamata”– a portion used by women to enhance love and intimacy.
According to Pretty Mike several ladies have tried the portion on him to get his attention but they’ve always failed.
Although Kayamata is a portion or herbs used by women to enhance intimacy, many believes it’s a charm to make men give them anything they want.
In an interview with Saturday Beats Mike stated that he had a line-up of women around him who wanted him to leave his nightclub business to get married soon.
In his words,
“I call myself husband material because I am still a bachelor and I have to market myself for the ladies. I am just letting them know that I am a potential husband, though I am not easy to get.
“Kanyamata (sex herbs and potions) will not work on me. Some ladies have tried it but it did not work. I am friends with all the kanyamata sellers, so it would be a fruitless effort.
“Some people think I am a sex addict or that I jump in bed with women but they forget that I am in women’s business as a nightclub owner.
“My business makes me an entertainer and I cannot afford to be boring. I am not what people see on Instagram. I am not a randy man that would jump into bed with anything in skirt.
“People think I have a lot of lovers but I don’t. The stories people hear or believe about me make me popular and attract customers to my club.
“If I was a boring subject, people would not want to associate themselves with me. However, people are curious about my personality and it is good business for me.”
An 11-year old girl, Favour Okechukwu, was gang-raped to death in Ejigbo area of Lagos with the perpetrators on the run.
The deceased, a Junior Secondary School 3 student was sent on an errand by her mother, by 3 p.m.
She was said to have been lured into a building on Olarewaju street, where four men took turns to rape her. She was suspected to have been gaged in the process, apparently to avoid raising that alarm.
Meanwhile back in her parent’s abode at Ore-Ofe street, apprehension had set it by 6 pm when her father, Okechukwu Dickson, returned home without any sight of his first child. When informed that she had not returned from the errand, he went in search of her.
To his dismay, Favour’s corpse was found in a building on Olarewaju street, not too far from her parents, close to two hours into the search. On closer observation, she was discovered to be naked, with her body stained with blood.
Her devastating mother who was still trying to come to terms with the crude reality of her daughter’s demise could not speak with Saturday Vanguard. But her father who managed to speak, betrayed his emotion as he narrated how he found her corpse.
Hear him, ”I was shocked when my wife said Favour hadn’t returned from where she was to collect a carton of the gala(snack) because it was unusual of her to stay long outside. I went to three of her classmate’s houses to look for her but they all said they didn’t see her. I was walking like a mad man, asking everyone I saw about her whereabout and it was getting dark. ”
“I saw a man who lives on the same street with me and told him I was looking for my daughter. He informed that he had to close early because a little girl was raped to death in a building close to his shop. ”I decided to go and check since I was looking for my daughter and he accompanied me to the building. Behold, when I got there, it was my daughter, Favour! She laid motionless. I shouted, shook her vigorously as I called out her name, begging her to wake up. But she didn’t respond. I was too shocked to believe she was gone just like that. A child I left hale and hearty while leaving the house in the morning, was gone when I returned”, he said in tears.
He, therefore, appealed to anyone with information on the fleeing assailants to avail such to the police, in order for her to get justice. Lamenting he said: ” Favour was full of life. She was very brilliant. All I want is for the perpetrators of this devilish act to be brought to book”.
Already, occupants of the buildings had fled for fear of being arrested by the Police. Saturday Vanguard gathered that policemen from Ejigbo division, led by the Divisional Police Officer, CSP Olabisi Okuwobi, arrived the scene when information reached them. It was gathered that the DPO paid for the ambulance that took the corpse to the morgue.
Some suspects had already been arrested. But they denied culpability. They were said to have been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba, for further investigation.
A spokesman for the Lagos State Police Command, SP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, who confirmed the incident, assured that the command would do all within its reach to ensure that the fleeing suspects were arrested.
Actress Hilda Dokubu has also taken to social media to demanded justice for Favour. A post shared by her on her IG page reads;
”On the 30th Sept 2020, about 3pm, Favour was gang-raped to death around Ejigbo area, Lagos State. She would have been 12 years on the 21st October.
On the day Favour was raped, she was running errands for her nursing mother. Upon gang-raping her to a state of unconsciousness, the boys engaged a quack nurse to check her. @wrahpnigeria led @actionaidnigeria to meet with her parents today.
Whist we cannot confirm if the nurse administered any treatment on her, @ActionAidNigeria will ensure the quack nurse, the young men and all others involved in this dastard act are brought to book. We will ensure #Justice4Favour.
Our daughters MUST feel safe to walk on the street. @actionaidnigeria will continue to work with relevant stakeholders to make our cities, our nation safe for women and girls.
I promised myself to stay extremely joyful the rest of the year, especially this month of my birth! But this is so depressing! This is deep seated wickedness!
I know why I am tagged on this post and yes we all need to stand up against RAPE and all forms of gender based violence and abuse
They must pay for the gruesome murder of this child.
I join @Actionaid in the call for #justiceforfavour”

BBNaija 2020 finalist, Vee has spoken highly of the winner, Laycon saying meeting him was a blessing.
Recall Laycon and Vee became friends and a force to reckon with in the BBNaija house.
The duo became friends after Vee took Laycon’s side when he was on the edge of breaking apart from Erica’s rejection and their bust-up.
Speaking on their friendship, Vee said Laycon taught her a lot of things and prevented her from getting into a fight and quarrels with others.
Her words ;
”Laycon has got an inviting spirit, I can see a lot people talking about things our friendship has done to him, what they ain’t saying is what our friendship has done to me.
He has changed my mind about a lot of things, meeting him in the house is a blessing. I could have been worse, a lot more quarrels, but he was there for me too.”

Happy Birthday my Queen ????????????????? Munachiso Maria-Goretti Ejiofor . The Mother of My two beautiful and adorable children SochiKaima and KachimSideh. This is a different kind of October 2nd, truly the most special to me. This year we went through so so much , but we never stopped believing in the power of the Lord Almighty. Our second child Sideh came into our lives so miraculously, arriving at 26 weeks after being pronounced unsaveable by the first hospital. We prayed. We went to war with prayers, alongside our beautiful and eternally supportive family and friends. We chose Life, in your words. Then baby was delivered safely and taken into incubation/ NICU at @reddingtonlagos , kickstarting the next phase of our test of Faith and God’s love for you and I.
There were some really tough days and nights, but you went through all this turbulence with the warmest and uplifting smile on your face. Every single Nurse, doctor, kitchen staff, lab technicians, Finance Department staff, security, cleaners fell in love with your spirit and kept praying for you. I drew a lot of strength from you my darling. You fought like God’s own… in true Munachiso Fashion. Through all these weeks of uncertainty in the hospital, you never gave up on us. You kept asking me how my new Album was doing and how I needed to make a lot of money off it, pushing me to promote and promote. Despite all the injections, unending scans, drugs, (sigh) and Caesarian Section, We came out victorious in the very end. We owe all of it to God. He never left us for a second. I can’t celebrate you enough my baby. I want the world to know I am blessed to have you as my wife and the mother of my babies. Happy Birthday to my rock of Gibraltar, daughter of the Most High. Your greatness just commenced. May God keep blessing me to spoil you beyond comprehension… I have to stop typing before I break down plus I need to help you baby sit KachimSideh… I Love You Boo! ????
