“I think there’s a special kind of evil in Nigeria” – Actress, Dolly Unachukwu says about power supply in Nigeria

Nigerian actress, Dolly Unachukwu has pondered about the power supply situation in the country in a post on her Instagram page.

The actress who revealed that she’s been lived in the UK for more than two years and as experienced steady power supply like the air she breathes, asked whether there’s a special kind of evil in Nigeria.

She wonders about the possibility of a particular kind of evil that even the leaders of the country find it hard to contain. In the post on her IG page, the actress wrote,

You asked people to stay at home in darkness. Come on! let there be light.
I have lived in the UK for close to 2 decades. Here, stable power supply is like the air we breathe. It makes me wonder if the light issue in Nigeria is entirely a leadership thing or if there is more to it than we know.
How are we sure there isn’t a special kind of evil which our leaders themselves are finding so hard to contain? Can different cabinets keep failing Nigerians over and over again without a hidden reason?
To be in darkness helplessly for several years as a nation is a special kind of evil that warrants a special kind of investigation. ?

Seriously, why can’t there be light in Nigeria?

“Your 15-year-old daughter is ripe” – Perverted men tell Yul Edochie

Footballer, Neymar’s mother is dating a 22-year old model after splitting from her husband

Brazilian football star, Neymar Jr’s mother, Nadine Gonçalves, appears to be dating a 22 year old gamer and model, Tiago Ramos, who is six years younger than her son.

Nadine Gonçalves who split from Neymar senior (Nutmeg’s dad) in 2016, took to her Instagram page to reveal that she is now dating Tiago Ramos.

Tiago Ramos regularly dances on TikTok and belongs to the Brazilian club of ‘eSports‘ 4k Easy Game, a team which competes in the NFA League, an amateur tournament that serves as the gateway to the professional competitions of the game.

Nadine recently posted a picture of herself with her lover with the caption: “The inexplicable cannot be explained, if you live…

To which Neymar commented “Be happy mom love you“.

Ramos is reportedly a big fan of the PSG/Brazil star. He shared an image of a direct message he sent him back in 2017.

It read,

“Neymar you are fantastic, I don’t know how to explain the emotion of being a fan of a guy like you, I see you playing and I’m very motivated, one day I hope to read this message with you, be your brother, and play together.

“I know that one day I will meet you, because I am a dreamy boy where I do not give up on my goals! Stay with God, very successful and happy.”

Ramos’ words came true when he posted an image of him and Neymar together in January. The two obviously became good friends as Ramos attended Neymar’s 28th birthday celebrations in February.

The 15-year-old son of a Bauchi state medical doctor, Rilwanu Sadiq, Abubakar has been murdered by suspected kidnappers despite receiving N4.5 million ransom from his distraught father.

Abubakar who attends a Secondary school in Bauchi, was abducted in front of his father’s house along Gombe road in Ningi local government area of the state on April 1st.

Kidnappers kill son

Dr Sadiq, who works at the Abubakar Tafawa University Teaching Hospital, Bauchi, said he was at work when he got the news of his son’s abduction. He immediately reported the matter to the neighbourhood security outfit as well as the state police.

Sadiq stated his son’s abductors contacted him and initially demanded for N3 million ransom which he paid. Afterwards they demanded for another N1.5 million. He said he had to pay so he could get reunited with his son.

“We were giving them at intervals. They got ?2 million hand-to-hand from me. The balance of ?2.5 was paid into about five bank accounts. But they kept asking for more. That was when I said I can’t bear it anymore, not knowing that they will even kill my son.” Dr Sadiq told Premiumtimes

The corpse of his son was exhumed from a shallow ditch inside an uncompleted building not far from their home on Sunday April 12. The distraught Father said he believes that his son’s killers, based on his kidnap and where his body was buried, are well acquainted with his family.

Yet they only go about what is irrelevant

Reflecting on the turnaround he got, Peter also urged men to stop thinking that every woman is a harlot.

He said;

I met my wife 18 years ago, I was a gold digger. When I met her, I f*cking had nothing. Men wise up, every woman is not a harlot or a slay mama, Pick one and make her look the way you want her to be. My wife was never perfect, don’t get me wrong, what I did was make her look the way I want her to be and she made me look same way she wanted me to be. Have you seen me before, I was ugly before. Look at me now, every day I’m looking younger.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome clarifies his comment about 5G being part of the Antichrist’s plan, says he was only concerned about its health implication (video)

Popular Cleric, Chris Oyakhilome who has steadily made news headlines this past week, has backtracked on his recent comment about 5G network being related with coronavirus and also a part of the antichrist to create a new world order.

The Loveworld Ministries founder had earlier stated that Coronavirus was created to instill fear in people who will embrace 5G as a way of escaping the pandemic.

However in a new trending video, Oyakhilome who described himself as a technology enthusiast said that he was concerned about 5G because of its health implication and also because he is into the healing ministry.

Pastor Chris further added that researching on the fifth generation of wireless communications technologies makes him want to use it, but he was also concerned that regulators seemed not to care much about its health implication.

He said;

“I have to look at my calling as a priority and I’m into the healing ministry. You may be a pastor or a minister and not be into the healing ministry, this may not concern you.”

I had suicidal thoughts – Nigerian singer, Jumabee shares his experience after testing positive for Coronavirus (video)

MY EASTER TESTIMONY: HE IS RISEN THEREFORE I AM RISEN

HOW I AROSE FROM COVID-19.

I am sharing my story firstly to testify to the goodness of God and also to lend my voice to the numerous ongoing covid-19 campaigns.

About 2 weeks ago I developed high fever, severe headache and body pains, I thought it was malaria being that I had just come in from Nigeria so I started treating malaria but 3 days later my health got worse, I lost my appetite and became very weak. I couldn’t even sit up let alone stand or walk.

At this point I was thinking hope this is not covid 19 understanding that the UK was a high burden zone, but as I wasn’t coughing at the time, I tried to convince myself it was probably a bacterial infection so I started taking antibiotics, along with paracetamol and a lot of water but still no improvement then I certainly knew I needed help.

We called the ambulance consistently for 3 days but there was no response and even the times they responded, they said they were very busy and could not come. On the third day, they finally showed up, but at this moment, I was already battling for my life, I could no longer breathe properly, I was gasping for breath. Just before the doctors arrived that day I collapsed, I was literally gone. My friends had to perform CPR on me to resuscitate me.

When the paramedics finally came, they confirmed it was covid 19 but that they couldn’t take me to the hospital because all the hospitals were filled up and the NHS was overly overwhelmed, they said even if they took me to the hospital, I would most likely get worse because of the conditions there so they recommended I stayed at home and fight for my life.
After they left, I started having suicidal thoughts, nothing mattered anymore. I got even worse, cough started along with severe diarrhea, my skin began to peel too. Something just had to be done, with the help of many, we found a private hospital after days of search where I was stabilized for days.

On returning home after testing negative. I looked at myself in the mirror and couldn’t believe my eyes, I had lost so much weight, I started crying because I had thought that was the end for me but God gave me my life back.

With prayers, support of family and friends and home remedies like steam inhalation with vaporub and olbas oil, drinking of warm fluids with lemon/lime, ginger and honey, I fought covid 19 and won. I went to heaven and back. This is not an experience I wish for anyone, no one at all.

I told God I’d testify of his goodness if He gave me another opportunity and that is why I am here sharing my testimony. Please guys, abide by all the health guidelines for covid 19 so you don’t get infected, I am another living testimony that you can recover from covid 19 but dear brothers and sisters, prevention truly is better than cure.

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.

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. @instablog9ja @mrudomemmanuel @akwaibomstategovt @ruggedybaba @segalink

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.
