“Last year, a newly married woman offered me 3 million naira to impregnate her.

Dear men;
I heard DNA now ranges from between 50-100k.
You don’t need to inform your wife – just take strands of your children’s hair while they are asleep and present them at the hospital.
There’s a huge chance that more than half of your children are not yours.

The Lagos state government has predicted that novel virus, COVID-19 cases in the state may rise to 120,000 by July 2020.
State Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi, revealed this while speaking at a press conference earlier today, May 8.
According to the Professor, the increase in the number of cases being recorded in the state in recent times was as a result of the decentralization of sample collections to the 20 local governments, adding that if the government had not put machinery in place, the situation would have been worse.
The commissioner went on to add that without being proactive, Lagos would have by now recorded 6,000 cases rather than the 1,491 cases it has now.
According to the Commissioner, Alimosho, Oshodi, and Isolo areas in the state have started witnessing increased cases of the viral disease.
He, however, noted that 97% of positive cases at its isolation centers were mild and moderate cases, while only three percent were severe cases.
The Commissioner also disclosed that the state government is to begin hydroxychloroquine trials in the next one week.

A Nigerian journalist identified as Kofi Bartels has called out the Rivers State Police, accusing them of causing the death of his friend’s wife unborn child.
Bartels said his friend and the friend’s wife lost their baby after Rivers State police detained them when they were on their way to the hospital to have the child.
The police officers were operating following Governor Nyesom Wike’s lockdown order that restricts movement except the person has an exemption letter or movement permit from the government.
Apparently, the expectant couple did not have the exemption letter thus they were detained for a while.
Sad, the delay eventually led to the couple losing their unborn baby
Ato Mnena Anita —the owner of a pastry shop in Makurdi, Benue State— whose arrest caused a stir on social media, has spoken up after she was detained and charged to court over the misunderstanding she had with a customer, who is an EFCC staff.
Mnena shared how she was picked up at her business place, Star Shawarma on Kashim Ibrahim Road Makurdi, the Benue State capital, on May 6, 2020.
She explained that the misunderstanding began after her accountant called to complain that the transfer of N1,500 made by a customer who happens to be a staff of the EFCC for the delivery of Parfait Yorghourt was not received.
Unknown to them, the EFCC staff had made a transfer of 1,600 Naira but they were expecting 1,500 Naira from her and thought the payment of 1,600 Naira was from another customer.
When they eventually discovered the error, they called the EFCC staff to apologize. However, according to Mnena, she was told at the EFCC Makurdi Zonal office that the calls embarrassed their staff and is very bad to her image.
Speaking to Benue state activist, Ukan Kurugh, Mnena explained that on 9th April, 2020, a staff of the EFCC Zonal office in Makurdi ordered for Parfait Yorghourt.
The order was for N1,500 and delivery fee of N100 was charged by the agent, bringing the total cost at 1,600 Naira. The product was delivered the same day. The Star Shawarma Cashier on duty billed the transaction for One Thousand Five Hundred Naira (1,500). The company was, therefore, expecting One Thousand Five Hundred Naira alert and not N1.6k.
April ended and came May. On 6th May, 2020, Mnena was called to her spot that her attention was needed to verify the problem of One Thousand Five Hundred Naira transfer. Upon getting there, she was told that the transfer was done on 9th April; that a lady (customer) ordered for Parfait Yoghourt, sold for 1.5k and it was charged 1.6k -100 delivery fee.
Mnena explained,
“All along they were expecting a transfer of 1.5k and not 1.6k. It looks the customer was familiar with the person who did the delivery and the person who made it. And so they kept reminding her about the transaction.
“The customer called the accountant two days ago that she made the transfer and they are saying they have not seen the money? The accountant said he will verify. Meanwhile, the product was delivered on that 9th April.
“Meanwhile, my accountant had brought to my notice that a customer has been calling on 1.6k transfer. I told them to call Stanbic IBTC, our bankers to confirm. Stanbic said there was no transaction. We decided to check our Access Bank account and Access confirmed the transaction. I was briefed and I said we needed to call the customer and apologize.
“The accountant was jittery that he has been threatened of arrest and I opted to call myself. I called the customer with my number. She did not pick. The accountant called immediately and she picked. I collected the phone and pleaded with her that there was a mix up of 1.5k and 1.6k and I apologized for the error. But she insisted that the accountant must report to EFCC office. I asked her why and she said I had no right to ask why the accountant would have to report to their office and that when they come for us we will know.
“I said okay, we have apologized and don’t know what else to do. Barely 10 minutes later I saw over 10 armed men in a bus. I was seated there. None of them spoke to me. They only said they were shutting down the place. At that point, I told them that we are learned persons and should act as such. They came without saying good afternoon, which I think is not the proper thing to do. At that point, they identified themselves. When I asked for warrant of arrest one of the officers asked me why dare I asked for warrant of arrest? But I thought it was the right thing to do when going for arrest.
“So, we left for EFCC office. This was about 3pm to 3:30pm; we were taken straight to the Zonal head office; myself, my manager and another staff. The zonal head asked for explanation. My manager first spoke, then I spoke because the other staff was not in the know when I called to apologize.
“In the course of my explanation, I told him (the Zonal head) that we were afraid of reporting to their office because we were threatened. He then asked if I was trying to insinuate that she (the customer) is trying to use her office to intimidate us? He went on that I was stupid if I am thinking in that line and it was an insult to the EFCC. He repeated same thing and said I should be detained for that. He said what we did was very bad: That we embarrassed their staff by calling her to claim we hadn’t got an alert which is very bad to her image. There and then, I apologized again, that I was deeply sorry if my explanation angered him.
“They asked me to write my statement but I pleaded to be allowed time to write because I couldn’t write my statement immediately; I was shivering and they gave me 30 minutes. I was able to write my statement, after the 30 minutes, after my manager had written his, the third person did not write because he was not in the know of anything. The manager and the third person were later released. I was detained and later released at about 9:30pm or 10:00pm and asked to return the next day (Thursday, 7th May) at 10am, which I did with the manager.”
Mnena said she reported at the EFCC Makurdi Zonal office on the morning of May 7 and she was interrogated, among other things. She was also asked why the news made it to social media.
She said,
“I told them that yesterday I did not have access to my phone (after the arrest) and my people because I went home late; I had severe Migraines and went to bed. This morning I wake up late and rushed there without phone. So it couldn’t have been me posting things on social media.
“They seized my phone yesterday and I had to wear bathroom slippers and was kept in one cockroach-infested room even with my asthmatic condition.”
Mnena adds that she did not know the customer involved personally.
She said,
“All along, we kept talking about a customer’s transaction. I didn’t know if it was a guy or a lady until I called to apologize.”
Mnena says her ordeal is not over. She has been told to expect a call from the anti-graft agency should the need arise. Also, her manager has been asked to report back on Monday for further interrogation.
Mnena, who was charged with attempted fraud following the incident, said: “I feel so very bad, more so, that I have never had any criminal case against me; no not attempted fraud.”

Some days back, the clergyman kicked against the Federal Government allowing markets to open while keeping churches shut.
At the church’s headquarters in Otta, Ogun state earlier this morning, Oyedepo declared that churches are now open and that anyone who is against this will die for it.
“The doors to churches across Nations are again declared opened this morning. Can I tell you this? Hunger is far more devastating than any virus that will ever visit the earth.
It kills silently. There is no vaccine for hunger. There is no medical solution to hunger.
Hunger has no treatment than to have food and Spiritual famine is far more devastating.
That is what the devil is looking for but he has failed. The church is back on its feet. Anyone who hates to see that dies for it.
The church of Christ on the earth is liberated. Spiritual famine shall not have its way.
Can I tell the world, no one has the answer to a problem like Jesus” he said

Budding Nollywood actress who hails from Benin, Modupeola Eniola Odunsi has opened up on the plans she has for her honeypot till even when she clocks 80.
The script interpreter revealed this following the many scandals trailing her after she granted an interview to newsman, Gbolahan Adetayo.
She also revealed that her type of man must be the one that can last for hours on bed.
She says,
“I wonder why people love to pick interest in other people’s life and ignore theirs. For crying out loud, I am an adult and I know what is right for me. I don’t owe anybody any explanation of how I live my life. My own food might be your poison but don’t condemn it.”
“The last time the interviewer asked me about my choice of man, I told him that my ideal man must be the type that have the fear of God, the one who is capable of handling and satisfy me when we are playing rough on bed. I don’t need a man that will not last for a minute around me. This is because I don’t know how to double date or sleep around, which is one of the reasons, I am still single and I will not run beyond my shadow. Any man who must have me as his wife must be ready for a marathon race on bed.”
“Between sleeping around with different men and having an active one at home, which one is more better? I pray to God to give me the strength, even when I clock 80 years, my honeypot will still be available for him if he’s in need of it. I read the comments on social media and on several blogs and I shook my head about this vagabonds denting celebrity’s images on social media. Of course I can’t marry a man who will be depending on my purse alone, he must also be okay financially in his own little way”, she said.
Modupe Odunsi featured in several movies and produced blockbuster flicks like Omo Iya Awusa, The Secret and Obsessions.
Big Brother Naija reality TV star, Tacha and Nigerian rapper, Omoniyi Temidayo Raphael, better known as Zlatan, look like they’ve finally made peace with themselves following an exchange they had on social media recently.

The Presidency has given an explanation as to why the Federal Government is not giving funds to states to fight the Coronavirus pandemic.
Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina who talked on a radio programme accused some Governors of prioritizing the quest for money over the need to overcome the disease in the state.
He went on to reveal why the Federal Government provided funds to the Lagos state government to fight the outbreak of the disease in the state.
Adesina said;
“The Federal Government assisted Lagos State with N10 billion for its commitment and only because it was satisfied that the government of Lagos started on the right footing, rolling out proper plans and mobilising its fund to fight the pandemic.
“Lagos State was only scouting for technical, manpower and facility supports, not financial support.
“The Buhari government felt obliged to lend a financial hand not because it was asked to, but because it was convinced it should.”
