Father DMW narrates how he fled Borno because of Boko Haram

Nigerian Social media user, FatherDMW, has gained popularity over a short period of time and without a doubt, he’s currently riding on the wave.

He broke the internet with a single live video with international model, Eva, as this has constantly remained the most viewed live video chat in recent times.

In this interview by SEGUN ADEBAYO, ‘Father’as many call him, speaks about how fame found him, among other issues.

In a short time, you have emerged one of the most sought-after skit makers in Nigeria. Your name comes up everywhere now. You must really be having a good time, how do you feel?

The feeling is good. This is what I have always wanted and I am happy that I am arriving at the stage I had always seen ahead of me. Everything seems like a dream now but I am living every day as it comes and taking the step one after the other. For me, what I do is what I call my hustle but this would not have happened if not for God and Davido. As I am talking to you, I am yet to come to terms with the fact that I am where I am today. I am grateful God. God bless Davido for me.

Your style is quite unique, especially coming from someone who was born and raised in the North where skit making is not their thing. Was it really hard getting to come up with these skits?

You are right if you say that my style is unique but its uniqueness has nothing to do with my tribe; it is simply about what I want to achieve. Being Hausa or any other tribe does not really mean your skit will sell, if you don’t appeal to people with what you create or people can’t really relate with your skit, you won’t go far with it. Sometimes, it gets really hard coming up with a funny skit but most time my least creative jokes get the biggest applause and I wonder why. So, these days I don’t bother myself with how the people would receive it, I just focus on doing what I feel is good and let the people decide.

What was your growing up like and brought about the entertainment thing for you?

I wish I could start telling about my growing up now, but it is a long story my brother.

How long is the story?

Let me just say I was born and raised in Gwoza Local Government area of Borno State I lived there till adulthood when I decided to come down to Lagos State to start life anew. I am in Lagos now and I am focusing on getting better and becoming someone my people back home would be proud of. Where I am coming from does not matter to me; my future is the most important thing to me right now.

How was life in Borno before coming to Lagos?

Life in Borno was fine because I was practically in school until the issue of Boko Haram started and everything got destabilised. It was not easy sleeping and waking up in an environment where you were not sure of what could happen to you the next minute. I couldn’t think of staying in that place any further, so I decided to leave. In Borno, I was well loved by the people, especially those who saw the comedy traits in me as a young boy. They see me as an amusing personality who enjoys the company of people, interacting and making them laugh.

So you ran to Lagos?

I ran for my life and I arrived in Lagos to start a new life for myself. I am happy that the decision is now paying off because I am beginning to live my dreams and living them well.

So Boko Haram insurgency forced you to quit school?

I had to run to Lagos. My determination to succeed in life brought me to Lagos.

You keep coming up rib cracking skits that put many of your colleagues on their toes. You have achieved this in a short time. What does this mean to you?

It reminds me that I have to keep getting better. Making skits don’t come as easy as people think because they see the finished material. A lot of work usually goes into bringing an idea to life and presenting what was an idea to millions of people. It is a lot of work and dedication. I don’t think I am keeping anybody on their toes because nobody has come to tell me I am keeping them on their toes; I am just a young man trying to make life meaningful for himself. I don’t want to suffer. I don’t want to live from hand to mouth. I want to make a life for myself and those who are looking up to me. I just try to be as real as possible. One thing that has helped me a lot is my originality. I think that’s just the only difference. I am not the most creative skit maker.

You keep talking about Davido and Zlatan all the time; what is your relationship with them?

Let me put in a simple way: Davido is my godfather on earth while Zlatan is my godbrother on earth. I can’t begin to tell you what they have done for me. It is not something I can explain but I am going to remain grateful to them in all I do.

But we heard that you left Davido’s house and moved Zlatan’s following your feud with the DMW gang.

That’s not true. People like to bring out nothing from nothing. I will never speak low of my benefactors till I die.

What influenced your choice of career?

My hunger for success is the bottom line. All my life, I have always said to myself that I don’t want to be poor or live beggarly life. I want to be able to take care of myself and family. So, every day I try to be better and work hard to keep pushing myself beyond the limits. Secondly, I play a lot if you know me, so some of the jokes people see online were just me in my usual element playing and having fun.

How did manage to build this brand?

Well, I will say I never understood anything about building of brand until now that I have a manager who knows more about what I am doing and also sees the business goal in my craft. Like I said, I just want to have fun and make people happy but my management team felt we could turn this to this to a brand that other top brands will associate with. So, that brought us to this level.

Do you think you have what it takes to sustain this momentum?

I didn’t bring myself to this level; God did. It is not because I am the smartest, it is just God. But now I have to think of how to take it from here to another level. This is why I am currently being managed by some of the best brains in the entertainment industry. They have worked hard to ensure that we moved up the ladder. Things are looking bright now but we are not stopping. People have not even seen the best of Father DMW.

They say you have suddenly become expensive to get now; is this true?

It is really not in my place to answer that question. My manager will be in the best place to speak about that. One thing that I am certain of is that nothing good comes cheap and I am sure you know that everyone is working hard to make money. I want to make my mama proud also.

Your live Instagram video with popular model Eva has literally set tongues wagging. Many are saying there is more to the video than meet the eye. What is really going on between you two?

All I can tell you is that Eva and I are best of friends. She cares about me and I do too.

You guys have been causing a lot of drama on the social media lately; where is this going?

A promised land I believe but sincerely I will just let God take it wheel. Anywhere it leads, I am ready to ride. Eva is a beautiful and lovely woman.

From Borno to Lagos, how do you feel today?

I am the most grateful man on earth. I feel like God loves me more than anyone like this. I am a symbol of grace.

How are you coping with this COVID-19; is it affecting online skits making?

Covid-19 is working for me in a positive way and I think right now I am the president of the internet. With my live video with Eva Apio, I never believe this time will come, but I thank God for all. I am now entertaining the whole Nigeria effortlessly. The feeling is crazy. I think am enjoying my time.

Coronavirus lockdown: Lady narrates how policewoman allegedly seized her car even though she was trying to save her aunt from dying (video)

A Nigerian lady has taken to her IG page to narrate how a policewoman allegedly seized her car because she drove out amid the lockdown in Akwa Ibom State, to “save her aunt from bleeding to death.”

According to @cutemabel, the policewoman ignored all her explanation and even ordered that her aunt be transferred to another vehicle, so she can “deal with her”.

Read her post below ;

I’m just writing this incase I don’t come back home tonight so my people will know what I’m going through. Earlier today, my Aunty called me to come pick her up that she’s very sick, to the point of death, that I should help take her to the hospital. On my way going to pick her up, a police woman stopped me, asked where I was going, I told her I wanted to pick up my Aunty to the hospital, she was very sick and bleeding heavily, she ignored everything I said and asked me for my car key, I said I can’t give her my car key, she started calling me names, she blocked the road that I can never pass from here regardless who I call.

Luckily for me, I was already on the street where my Aunty lives so I just called her to manage and come out to the check point. When she got there, the police lady said we’re not going anywhere, she can only transfer my sick Aunty to another vehicle to take her to the hospital so she can deal with me. She called the AO (a lady) to come take my car to the station (A division-Barracks Road) and asked me to remain at the back sit of my car while they drive my car to the station.

On getting there, they asked me to leave the station without getting any statement from me, they didn’t ask for my contact, nothing! I even heard someone saying they’re transferring all the vehicles to ‘God Knows where’ later tonight. We’re still here pleading with them but they’re not giving us any good response. I did not commit any offence, was only trying to take my sick Aunt to the hospital. This is wrong! This is totally wrong!! if someone is ill, they should be allowed to go and get medical attention.

Gateman who recently traveled from Lagos to Kaduna via public transport, tests positive for Coronavirus

Kaduna State Government has confirmed a new case of Coronavirus, a gateman who recently traveled from Lagos into the state.

A statement released by the state Commissioner for Health, Amina Mohammed Baloni, said the fresh case is a gateman in the Mando area who recently returned from Lagos. Baloni said the patient had no connection to the first five cases in the state.

Dr Baloni said the sixth case had traveled on public transport and contacted the authorities as his symptoms worsened. He said the patient has been evacuated to the state’s Infectious Disease Centre.”

The Commissioner added that the latest case presents the nightmare scenario of possible community transmission of Covid-19 in the state as it would be very difficult and complicated to trace all those he might have had contact with while commuting in a public transport from Lagos to Kaduna.

“The Rapid Response Team is trying its utmost to elicit from him a list of his contacts, so that they can be traced and monitored. He does not know who his fellow passengers from Lagos are. But the team is working to develop an idea of his local contacts in Kaduna, including any vehicles he commuted in and people he met at the hospital he visited and within his neighbourhood,” she said.

Kaduna state currently has six cases of Coronavirus amongst whom is the state governor, Nasir El-Rufai.

I teach 3 subjects yet receives 24,000 Naira salary – Teacher laments

Teacher laments

A teacher identified as Sam David has taken to social media to lament over the paltry sum he goes home with as salary considering the fact that he teaches three subjects.

David said he teaches Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics at a senior secondary school in Owerri, Imo state where he receives N24,000 salary.

He was reacting to a tweet from Dr Ogbeni Dipo, a PhD holder and career expert who said: “Every time I remember some Nigerian Teachers earn N20,000 or N25,000 per month, my entire soul gets angry at the level of inequality in Nigeria all over again.”

Mr David however added that when the lockdown is over, he would not be returning back to his teaching job at the school even if another job has not been secured.

“I’m a teacher in a senior secondary school in Owerri, I teach Chemistry, Physics and Maths and I earn N24,000 but I’m leaving it next term whether I get another job or not.” he wrote.

Lockdown will last as long as necessary, — Pres. Buhari

President Buhari on Saturday said lockdown measures are essential to defeat the coronavirus pandemic in Nigeria and urged citizens to observe restrictions on movement where they are in place during the Easter holiday.

Buhari made the comments in a statement released by Presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu. The President also said the lockdown will last as long “as our scientific advisers declare they are necessary.”

“For those who suffer most egregiously” during the lockdown, Buhari said the government was ready to help assist with grains and distribution of small cash payments.

“No elected government could ask more of the citizens of the country that elected them than today we ask of you,” the President said. .

“But we must ask you – once more – to observe restrictions on movement where they are in place, and follow the instructions of our scientists and medical advisers: stay home, wash your hands, save lives.

We ask you to listen and follow public announcements via the mass media for instructions as to how to receive this government support – and learn of more public assistance in the coming days.

All that the Government is asking you to endure is because nowhere in the world today is there any known way of defeating this pandemic. There is no vaccine.

And that means there are choices to be made: between continuing as usual, or accepting the restrictions even when they come with unintended consequences.

But at this darkest hour, it remains our duty to offer you the full and unvarnished truth: This is a global pandemic. 210 countries and territories across the globe are affected.

We cannot expect others to come to our assistance. No one is coming to defeat this virus for us. Instead, the defeat of the virus in our country will be in our hands, alone.

We cannot wait for others. We can only depend on ourselves now. And so we must – and we will – end this outbreak ourselves as Nigerians, together.”

Churches are not places of infection but places of blessing – Pastor Chris reacts to relaxation of lockdown order for churches to reopen

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome is happy with the decision of some state governors to relax the lockdown order in their states for churches to celebrate Easter.

Pastor Chris who has been very vocal about some conspiracy theories relating to coronavirus, said the church is not a place of infection but rather a place of blessings.

The clergyman who made news headlines last week after he claimed the lockdown in Lagos and Abuja was for the Federal government to install 5G network in the state, said any wise government knows not to trouble the church.

In his words ;

The best thing in any government is to always leave the church alone. It is always the best thing. The wisest leader understands that. They leave the church alone. When you trouble the church, there is a scripture”

Toke Makinwa reacts after being referred to as “Abule Egba Kylie Jenner”

Media personality, Toke Makinwa has reacted to demeaning tweets from some users on Twitter referring to her as Abule Egba Kylie Jenner.

The vlogger, author and businesswoman took to her handle earlier today to advise people to go for cosmetic surgery if it’s what makes them happy.

The self-acclaimed “Baby girl” who has had her butt and lips augmented, wrote,

If you want to get your body done, do it, life is too short and just make sure it is what you want and not what you think is expected of you, No one is perfect and you’ll still need lots of exercising to keep fit. Surgery is half of it, any surgeon will tell you.

In other words, if you must cheat, cheat but know that the body is not a machine, you’ll still need discipline, exercise and portion control to stay fit. The weight after surgery is not cute, start exercising now so it becomes a lifestyle”.

Nigerians took to her comment section to troll her, with some refering to her as Abule Egba Kylie Jenner and she responded

It’s all love. Thank you all for my new title, one day I’ll get to #IkoyiKylieJenner, until then my Abule Egba people…. I’ll rep you die

Coronavirus: Sinach & husband blast pastors who believe more in science

Gospel Singer, Sinach and her husband, Joe Egbu have lambasted pastors who have more belief in science than what the church teaches, amidst the coronavirus outbreak.

According to Joe, it is a shame that many so-called men of God ignored the true healing in the power of God and chose to stay away from church as science advised.

Joe wrote:

It’s a Shame that Faith in God and Wisdom of God have been relegated in our Society.
People of God rely more on Science( Inventions) than God (Inventor)
Some Men of God now seek counsels from the People of the World ( I thought reverse was the case). They have relinquished their Authorities and Churches have become Gathering of Convenience.

They have become Sheep like their Congregation, cowardly waiting for any Shepherd to proffer solution. It’s a Shame that Church, known for healing, is now regarded as a place to avoid.
ITS A SHAME

Reacting to his post, his wife Sinach wrote that the gates of Hell will not prevail over the church as many people are of the belief the virus and the following lockdown are plots from the pits of hell.

COVID-19: Controversial Nigerian Clergyman, Apostle Chris Omashola slams President Mohammed Buhari and the Nigerian Government

COVID-19: Controversial Nigerian Clergyman, Apostle Chris Omashola slams President Mohammed Buhari and the Nigerian Government, over Neglect.

In a short interview with strokesafrica.com, the outspoken Senior Pastor and General Overseer Of The Zionwealth Church, Lekki, Lagos called out President Muhammadu Buhari over the sparse measures that have been set in place, so far, by the government, towards assuaging the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic Lockdown.

Since the right of the poor Nigerian to fend for themselves has been taken away by the Federal Government, it is therefore the responsibility of the Government to help out which they’ve obviously ignored, therefore Allah will hold them responsible for their suffering and frustration. President Buhari should do something quickly. Nigerians are crying, frustrated and hungry.

Mr. Omashola, a media pr expert who doubles as the CEO of both ACO Media PR Consultants and Kevwe Autos Ltd, stated that the Government has, so far, proven to be highly insensitive to the plights of the average Nigerian, in this season, stressing that Nigerians are begging for what, ideally, should be their basic right.

The Man of God was incensed at the fact that billions of dollars have been donated to Nigeria, from local and international philanthropists and bodies, towards easing the strain caused by the lockdown and the pandemic as a whole, yet, no tangible measures have been set in place by the government, to that effect.

According to Apostle Omashola,

“whatsoever you give to the greedy, will never get to the needy. Nigerian pastors and business men, who obviously are not collecting our tax, have affected more lives during these trying times, than the so-called Nigerian politicians. I hope Nigerians can see that the government has no tangible plan for them. NCDC bombards us with cautionary SMS’s instead of meeting actual needs. It has become increasingly clear that the government is wicked and corrupt.”

Pastor Omashola went on to say that the Nigerian government has made more money from the Coronavirus pandemic donations, than any other country in Africa, yet Nigerians are dying off, everyday, from ‘hunger virus’ and lack of basic amenities that support general wellness.

“I know everyone wants to be diplomatic and politically correct, but, Nigerian citizens have been scarred by the sheer wickedness and tyranny of the government. Someone has to speak up for the OPPRESSED! I do, willingly, lend my voice.

You can’t even begin to imagine the plight of Nigerians, who have been observing the lockdown for weeks now, with inadequate preparations, and little or no input from the government.

Even though many Nigerians have cried out on social media, about light and water challenges, in this time, their cries seem to have fallen on deaf ears. Can you imagine?”

The Man of God complained about the Inflation in prices of commodities, in Nigeria, and the major scarcity in the makeshift markets, and most of all, about the governments lack of concern.

“Even though I am a friend to the Presidency, I will not compromise my conscience. This Government is wicked, abusive and satanic.
The responses so far of Femi Adesina, Lauretta Onochie, Shehu Garba and most notorious Lai Mohammed are an insult to the intelligence of the Nigerian populace.

The issue of 5G, Coronavirus, Antichrist, and all the many conspiracy theories are obvious plots to distract us from the real conspiracy and Antichrist-ism in Government. Nigerians are truly being taken for granted by their sick and wicked leader; with inadequate prior information and support, they have been detained in their homes, and left to die of hunger, GOD FORBID! as if they’re the cause of the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Apostle Omashola also expressed his gratitude to philanthropists and men of God, who have contributed generously, towards the welfare of Nigerians.

“Even though public giving is not my style, God bless the likes of Aliko Dangote, Femi Otedola, Rabiu Abdulsamad, Mike Adenuga, Tony Elumelu and other businessmen and philanthropists, for their kindness to fellow Nigerians.

Kudos to Nigerian pastors like Bishop David Oyedepo, Prophet Jeremiah Fufeyin, Apostle Johnson Suleman, Dr Paul Enenche, Pastor David Ibiyeomie, Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo and others, for portraying the compassionate and generous nature of God, by making much-needed donations, as well”.

He didn’t end there!

“I make bold to call on the Nigeria Government to assist Nigerians financially nationwide no matter how small just to show that they are humans and not robots.”
