According to the New York Post, when the elderly woman was ill, she leaned against the stop sign on a road and her grandson who was driving his go-kart at the time saw her and came to her rescue.

“I was leaning against the stop sign, and all of a sudden, I look to my right, and I see my car, my Mercedes-Benz coming towards me. Just in an easy, calm manner, it was coming towards me. I looked in the car. It was PJ,” Angela recalled.

The senior citizen commended her grand son’s driving skills saying he had become a “pro” within a short period of time.

“This child is only 11 years old and drives like a pro. He always rides either his four-wheeler, go-kart or his dirt bike while I’m trying to get a little exercise in,”

she said.

The grandma said her grandchild who is close to becoming a teenager after turning 12 was calm and collected during the whole period.

“He drove me home, and he pulled in the driveway. And when I say he pulled in the driveway so precise, because my driveway is kind of narrow … He didn’t go up the curb, in the grass, nothing.

“He pulled in the driveway, in the garage, and helped me out the car. He’s an extra special little boy and he doesn’t ask for anything in return,” the grandma said.

It was discovered that he learnt how to drive by periodically reversing and parking vehicles in the garage.

“Laycon and Kiddwaya must not be blamed for Erica’s disqualification” – Ozo

Big Brother Naija housemate, Ozo, has said Kiddwaya and Laycon must not be blamed for Erica’s disqualification.

Kiddwaya advises

According to Ozo, Erica was walking on eggshells after her second strike and should have been responsible enough not to let herself down.

Ozo speaking to Biggie during his diary session on Monday said he feels sorry for her because BBNaija is once in a lifetime opportunity which should not be taken for granted.

Ozo said,

“With Erica’s disqualification I know the difficult thing for her is that this is a one in a lifetime opportunity and she let herself down.

“I felt sorry for her. I would not have thought Erica would be that person to be disqualified

“Kiddwaya should not be blamed for her disqualification because each individual has the right to be responsible for their actions.

“Laycon was feeling bad too but he is also not to blame as Erica should have been careful enough.

“As an adult, whatever situation we put ourselves in we need to learn. With time I hope she learns and recovers.

“Erica was walking on eggshells and would have learnt and been calm when housemates tried to help her. I don’t think Big Brother was harsh with the decision.”

Taking to his Instagram account, he wrote,

As I watched several Clips and Post that littered the BlogSphere last night and saw how the dignity and self-confidence of a young man was under attack by a fellow housemate, and despite all he remained calm. I couldn’t help checking out his page and asking myself …Do we still have YOUTHs like this???.

….

Laycon would be the very FIRST BBN housemate I am ever putting on my page to talk about while in or out of the house. I wish it was about his Sartorial Qualities( Which needs to be discovered ?) but about his display of uncommon SELF CONTROL and Emotional Intelligence (which is a rare trait found these days among most nouveau celebrities ) to millions of Impressionable minds on a global stage.

And as an Image Consultant and Sartorialist , who understands the importance of ABC ( Appearance Behavior and Communication) my team and I would be rewarding such behavior with a Complete Image & Style-Makeover deal as soon as he steps out of the house .

“They raised $15k for Erica in 5hrs but can’t resist Buhari over fuel price hike” – Reno Omokri blasts Nigerians

Former Presidential spokesman, Reno Omokri has slammed Nigerians who raised over $15,000 for disqualified BBNaija housemate, Erica.

The popular social media commenter and Lawyer is angry that Nigerians were able to achieve the milestone donation for Erica within 5 hours but have not been able to put up any resistance against President Buhari over the recently increased fuel pump price and electricity cost, 5 days after the decision was made public.

Reno Omokri who singled out Nigerians who always say “come and lead the protest”, stated that we act spontaneously for irrelevancies but look up to others to act for us on relevant things.

According to him, Nigerians deserve President Muhammadu Buhari for their inability to act on relevant things.

In his words;

“In 5 hours, Nigerians raised $15,000 for #BBNaija’s Erica. In 5 days, the same Nigerians have not been able to raise any resistance to General Buhari’s increase of fuel and electricity costs.

If you talk, some Nigerians will say come and lead the protest. Who led them to raise a record breaking $15,000 in 5 hours? We can act spontaneously for irrelevancies, but we are looking for others to act for us on relevant things! Nigeria deserves General Buhari!”.

Meanwhile, Erica Nlewedim, who was disqualified from the reality show yesterday, has been pictured all smiles today in a new photo that was shared on Twitter.

Students watch in horror as masked men rob their fellow classmate while in middle of Zoom lesson (video)

Students watched through their computers in horror as masked men broke into a class mate’s house and robbed her during their live Zoom lesson.

In the video shared online, a teacher is seen coaching his students via Zoom. Suddenly, two men wearing masks storm into Maria Jose’s room as she is on a Zoom chat with 25 others as well as her teacher.

For more than 25 seconds, the robbers’ actions are recorded for the whole class to see until the criminals finally realise they are on camera.

Her classmates alert the teacher, who is speaking and seems not to have noticed what is going on.

“Does anyone have the address or the number of her parents?” one asks.

Another replies: “I have her mother’s number.”

A third person tells them to “call her straight away.”

The image then seems to freeze on screen after one of the thieves closes the laptop in order to steal it together with other valuables from the property.

The incident took place in the Ecuadorian city of Ambato on Friday, September 4.

Thankfully, the victim’s classmates managed to alert police and four suspects were arrested.

In a statement, Ecuador Police said: “During this operation, units from the Organised Motorised Group (GOM) were dispatched and were informed of the criminal act upon arriving at the location.

“The perpetrators of the robbery fled the scene in a motorised vehicle and thanks to the location of the mobile phones they robbed, they were located and captured in a sector known as ‘Huachi Grande’.”

Reno Omokri Writes Open Letter To Pastor David Ibiyeomie Revealing Daddy Freeze’s Parents’ Identity

reno omokri writes

Nigerian lawyer and social media commentator, Reno Omokri, has written an open letter to Pastor David Ibiyeomie revealing the identity of Daddy Freeze‘s parents after the earlier saga.

reno omokri writes

Earlier in the day, a video made rounds on social media where Pastor David Ibiyeomie of the Salvation Ministries Port Harcourt in Rivers state verbally attacked media personality and leader of the Free the Sheeple movement, Daddy Freeze, for always ”insulting his father”, Bishop David Oyedepo.

Click here to watch the video.

reno omokri writes

Reno Omokri has reacted to the video, condemning the man of God for hurling insults at Daddy Freeze and calling him a “bastard”.

He wrote,

Dear Pastor David Ibiyeomie,

Christ was insulted, but He did not insult back. “When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate”-1 Peter 2:23.

@DaddyFreeze was wrong to say what he did on Oyedepo. But my Christian brother, you are even more in the wrong to have insulted him. He is no bastard. I know both his mother and father. His father is a Muslim Yoruba businessman that has contributed much to Nigerian society and his mother is the first female vice chancellor of a Nigerian private university, and a Professor of law. By calling him a bastard, you not only insulted him. You insulted his mother. Christ would never have done that!

Daddy Freeze is cantankerous. He is sometimes (but not always) a credit to Christianity, but he spoils that by engaging in needless controversy for the sake of notoriety and social media following. Face him and challenge him on that, whether publicity or privately. But it is not right to insult him seeing as Scripture says “a servant of the Lord must not quarrel”-2 Timothy 2:24.

And a child who does not know his father is not a bastard. There are illegitimate parents. But there are no illegitimate children. God helped me build an orphanage. I did not steal to build it. I did not build it with donation from church members. I built it with my own money. How do you think my children will feel to hear what you said knowing they were abandoned at birth? I am in tears as I write this.

Pregnant woman and her unborn baby die after police allegedly detain doctor for violating curfew

A pregnant woman, identified as Mistura and her baby died after the doctor who was supposed to operate on the mum was allegedly detained by Lagos police officers enforcing curfew in the state.

The surgeon was reportedly held for about an hour on Airport Road, Ikeja, Lagos State, for violating the Covid-19 curfew, Punch reports.

The doctor had explained that she was on an emergency call but the officers reportedly refused to listen to her pleas.

When the doctor was eventually released, she arrived at the hospital to discover that the pregnant mother and her unborn child were dead.

The incident happened on Monday, August 31, 2020, at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Idi Araba, Surulere.

A witness who spoke to Punch revealed that the female doctor broke down in tears when she saw there was nothing she could do to save Mistura and her baby.

The witness said,

“The doctor is a woman. In fact, she was also ill and was placed on a drip at home when she was called for the emergency.

“Because her car was bad, she got a cab to take her to the hospital. She left her house around past 9pm.

“Around 10.15pm, they got to the under bridge around Airport Road, where they met the policemen. They had been stopped by other policemen before they got to that spot. But when she showed them her ID card, they allowed her to pass.

“But these ones refused. After she showed one of them her ID card and said she was on an emergency to see a patient who was between life and death, the policeman ordered the driver to park. He took her ID card and asked her to prove she was on an emergency.

“She went to meet another member of the team and begged him that she needed to leave immediately and that the life of her patient was at risk. She was in a nightgown; she could not even change when she got the call. But the second policeman shunned her.

“The policeman said she was foolish and she was a prostitute because a doctor would never dress the way she was dressed. She begged them and explained the circumstances but they refused to listen and demanded the emergency letter.”

“There were four policemen on duty that night. Only one was on mufti. Their tags were not visible because they wore overalls. They saw the drip in the doctor’s hand; she was risking her life to save another person but they never allowed her.” The source added.

The original indabosky. Liquid metal since 2018. We know CeeC has grown since she left the house. What do you think CeeC would say to Erica right now?

Reacting to the post, CeeC says it’s not always about winning a race, but sometimes being a part of the race is just as good. She wrote,

Sometimes it’s not about winning a race but being part of a race. It is enough that you were part of the race. You’d be fine mabe not now but eventually..

South African actress, Thandeka Mdeliswa shot dead in her home

Popular South African actress, Thandeka Mdeliswa has been confirmed dead after being shot at her family home in Evander, Mpumalanga in South Africa.

The actress is popularly known for her starring role as Khanya in the SABC 1 drama series Ikani.

Mdeliswa got into a heated argument her older brother got into with two men at their family home on Thursday September 3rd.

The argument got violent as one of the men grabbed his friend’s firearm and shot the actress. The two men fled the scene and it was learnt that the police have identified the owner of the gun as Hlathi.

Mdeliswa was afterwards airlifted to Steve Biko Academic Hospital in Pretoria where she died on Saturday September 5th.

The police said in a statement,

“We are currently investigating this matter and we have not arrested anyone. Yesterday, we brought the owner of the gun to book and we were advised to get the person who pulled the trigger.

“We are busy with our investigation. Anyone with information that can assist should approach the Evander Police Station or any police station around.”

Below is her family’s statement announcing her death.

#BBNaija: ‘Erica keeps talking about inbuilt anger’ – Dorathy tells Kiddwaya

Dorathy tells Kiddwaya

BBNaiaja housemate, Dorathy has told fellow housemate, Kiddwaya that disqualified housemate, Erica, got an inbuilt anger from her mum.

According to Dorathy, Erica revealed this to Prince during one of their private conversations.

Shocked, Kiddwaya said that his lover, Erica never mentioned this part of her to him all the while they have been together in the house.

Dorathy stated this during their morning walkout on Monday.

According to her, “Prince said she [Erica] keeps talking about inbuilt anger from like…her mum…her family, all of that.”

In response, Kidd said, “She talked about that? I didn’t know that.”

Erica was kicked out of the Big Brother Naija Lockdown house yesterday, after, among other things, she poured water on the Head of House bed, denying Prince, her deputy, access to the head of house lounge.

She was also queried for peeping through the camera window and trying to engage with the production team which is against the house rules.

Erica who was the head of house, also threatened to kill fellow housemate, Laycon outside the house.

Erica was disqualified and sent home immediately after Biggie gathered all of the housemates to the lounge and as the usual wont whenever one of them errs, a video of their misbehaviour is played for the rest of the housemate to watch.

All the happenings of Erica’s misbehaviour last night was played for the rest of the housemate to watch which was much to each and every one of them’s surprise… and Erica too could be seen wearing a disappointed look.

These videos made rounds on the internet earlier today and viewers pushed for the disqualification of the actress, which occurred just moments ago as Big Brother announced it.

”Beggy beggy”- Instagram users react after Lucy’s bank account number was shared online to solicit funds for her business.

Lucy Edet was evicted from the Big Brother Naija house yesterday and her name has been trending since her exit from the show.

During her post-eviction interview with show-host, Ebuka, Lucy had said she’d use the new exposure and platform she’s been giving to focus on her brand (Cooking Business and other ventures).

This might have spurred the handler of her page to take to Instagram on Monday morning to solicit funds to help the evicted housemate start her business.

The handler shared the brand logo with a caption that read in parts ;

Please let us not forget that Lucy had dreams & she needs as much financial support as she can get

The handler then proceeded to add Lucy’s bank account details.

However, some social media users strongly kicked against the post asking why they are turning BBN into a ”Begging platform”.
