President Buhari today met with Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, at the state House Abuja, over Coronavirus in Lagos.
The governor met with the President to give him an update on the Italian man diagnosed with Coronavirus in Lagos. He also briefed the President on measures his government is taking to prevent the spread of the virus in the state.
Social media commentator, Reno Omokri is asking why the identity of the Italian man with Coronavirus has not been released.
In a post shared on his Instagram page today, the former aide of ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, pointed out that in 2014, the identity of the index case of Ebola virus in Nigeria, Patrick Sawyer, was made public and nobody saw anything wrong with that.
He wonders why weeks after Nigerians were informed that an Italian had the Coronavirus, his identity is still being kept a secret.
A simple question: Why was the identity of Patrick Sawyer, the index case of #Ebola in Nigeria, released, while that of the Italian index case of #COVID19 is not? It is the same scenario. Was Sawyer less of a human being than this anonymous Italian? Would the identity of a Nigerian, who introduced such to Italy, be kept secret? A Nigerian player in the Italian league, Serie C, Paul Akpan Udoh, contracted corona virus in Italy, and his identity was released by the Italian authorities. If we released Patrick Sawyer’s identity over Ebola, why are we giving this Italian anonymity?, Reno wrote

Accordinng to guidelines from New York State’s Sex Offender Registry, an offender must notify the Division of Criminal Justice Services within 10 days of any change of address.
Petty was reportedly pulled over in Beverly Hills in November 2019, at which point officials became aware that he had not registered as a sex offender in California. According to a previous report by TMZ, Petty was arrested and released on $20,000 bond. Petty reportedly pleaded not guilty to the offense.

Veteran actress, Jaiye Kuti, has spoken out on how she feels on the influences on some of the new actresses in the movies industry, which according to her, are the ones engaging in immoral acts
In an interview with The Punch, there are only few new eggs in the movie industry, and these are the ones giving the good ones bad names.
“I am part of the industry and I have friends there as well. It is totally unacceptable to say that actresses don’t have morals. We have people that are of good moral standing. However, a lot of people that came from nowhere all in the name of wanting to be actresses, are now there. So, doves have been mixed with chickens.
Some of these people (that engage in immoral acts) were not even part of us originally. I crossed over from English movies to acting in Yoruba films, yet I still had to go and meet the elders to formally tell them that I wanted to be part of them.

“So, like 2 days ago, I got a call from my babe asking me where I kept the key to the other car that hers was waterlogged (same car i recently had a terrible accident with and had to be reconstructed), I told her where to get it and also advised her to call the panelbeater to come and trace the source of the water leakage. To cut the whole story short, the panel beater after taking the vehicle called us screaming that he will not work on the car, that some fetish things are in it. He snapped and sent the picture to us. Believe me these things were tied and kept under that vehicle prior to my accident last December but nothing happened to me because akamu di òcha. I decree, NO WEAPON FASHIONED AGAINST US SHALL PROSPER.”

A Nigerian Man has taken to his facebook page to share a bizzare story of an incestuous relationship he had with his ‘Blood Sister’.
The man identified as Zeromni Freedom, took to Facebook to narrate how he had sex with his blood sister numerous times.
Zeromni who started off by stating that there is nothing wrong with having sex with relatives, pointed out that many have had sex with their blood sisters and cousins but kept it a secret because the society will frown at it.
His post reads ;
I ONCE FUCKED MY SISTER
People always shy away from this question : “Where did Cain get wife?” Who did cain fuck? If the bible story was real, or let’s assume it’s real, cain must have fucked his sister. Now , the story may not be true, but so many of us have fucked our blood sister and brother or cousins but we kept it secret because our environment frown against it so we hide it and keep it secret.
In some countries, it is legal for siblings or relative to marry each other and have sex. The truth is that ,there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with incest. People create law to make it wrong and we grow with that mentality that it’s wrong. Animals fuck each other , they fuck their siblings and enjoy life. We too are animals, we are more intelligent, yes. But we experience nature the way other animals do too.
When I fucked my blood sister , it was long time ago. We were playing on bed and she had only her short skirt and pant, we didn’t know when we kissed and start romance and we fucked . It happened like 3 times and I also fuck one of my cousins .it was consensual. We both want it. We kept it secret until we outgrow the feelings and they are married now .
The truth is that if many of us will be honest and truthful, some of us had fucked our relatives. We just kept quiet about it because we don’t want people to know the truth. We keep it secret because we don’t want people to blame us or condmn us. But it’s life it happens.
Now, I am NOT talking about forced sex . You don’t have to rape your sibling or cousin because you have a sexual feelings for them. Thats wrong. The feelings must be mutual and you must both consent to it before it happens.
If you see it as bad and wrong, don’t do it. If your country have a law against it, go to another country where it is allowed. Live your true life. Enjoy your life as it is. If there were truly a Cain then, he must had fuck his sister. If the story is a myth, then take a study of all of animals and find out if they fuck their siblings, if it’s true , which I know it is, then why should human be any different?

Piles or Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the lower rectum. They often subside on their own or with treatment from over-the-counter products. But in rare cases, hemorrhoids can become infected.
Prolapsed internal hemorrhoids are more likely to become infected due to blood flow issues. Procedures, such as rubber band litigation and surgical removal, can also increase the risk for infection.
An infected hemorrhoid requires medical treatment to reduce the chances of complications. Read on to learn about what causes infected hemorrhoids, and how to treat them.
Students of Federal Polytechnic Oko in Anambra state woke up to a shocking scene as they found a newborn baby, with her placenta still attached, hanging from the barbed wire of the fence separating their compound from the empty plot of land beside it.
According to LIB, the mother, a student of the school, gave birth to the baby in her boyfriend’s room after which they tried to throw the baby over the fence into the plot of land on the other side. However, their aim fell short and the baby got stuck on the fence.
Students heard the child’s cry and rushed out to save her. They then rushed the baby to Chukwunoso Hospital opposite the main gate of the Polytechnic.
Following investigation, it was discovered that the child’s father is a HND 1 student of Public Administration Department. He pleaded with his roommate to allow his girlfriend to deliver the baby in their room so they could carry out their evil plan.
By the time police officers from the Oko police station arrived at the scene of the incident, the child’s father and mother had fled.

For this year’s International Women’s Day, TECNO did not pass up on the opportunity to take a stand in a world where the achievements and challenges of women are as lauded as those of their male counterparts in a level playing field.
In a video, they highlighted people who thrive in the gender roles assigned to the opposite sex both in the office and at home.
There was a dad changing his baby’s diaper expertly, a female dispatch rider who handled her bike like a pro, a career lady who adeptly changed her flat tyre, a man whose haggling skills in the market will dethrone a typical African mother, a lady who systematically and neatly washed her car and a man whose cooking skills will get your tongue wagging.
This video was aimed at getting the minds of people out of the box that culture and social constructs have locked them in and into the brightness of enlightenment. The video points to the fact that these supposed ‘gender’ roles are in fact, not gender specific. It shifts focus away from gender to getting things done when they need to be done regardless of the gender available at the time without unduly putting pressure on anyone. Click here to watch the video.
While most brands still stand aloof and impersonal on societal issues, brands like TECNO speak up and take a stand. The smartphone brand pays attention to issues/events that influence their fans and seamlessly become empathic or celebratory as the case might be. They never fail to lend their voice to a cause or sit on the fence concerning a commemorative event.
To further drive this point home, TECNO asked a group of people to mention some roles they fill that are sometimes seen as strange or untraditional in the society. Very interesting statements came up like;
I cook while she watches TV #SoWhat?
I am a lady, I foot my bills always #SoWhat?
I cook for my girlfriend #SoWhat?
I can price more than my wife that they call me alaroro #SoWhat?
I report to a woman in the office #SoWhat?
I cook while she watches telemundo #SoWhat?
My wife is on Instagram and I’m doing her laundry #SoWhat?
My wife bought the car I drive #SoWhat?
He cannot change his car tyre, but I can, and I do it #SoWhat?
We go on a date and she pays the bill #SoWhat?
Also, TECNO sat with people from different walks of life and discussed the effect of gender roles. Here is how it went.
Vincent, PR and Communications Manager
Q: Is it okay for a woman to pay when you are on a date?
Hmmm…Yes, actually. So honestly ehn, it’s used to be hard sha. As much as I know there’s no harm whatsoever, I’d always feel awkward every time it had to happen. Sometimes a funny and long argument comes before I agree, if ever. Now, I see it like she’s getting me a gift, so I find it a cool and romantic gesture. Also gives me a feeling that “I’m not alone in this thing after all”!
Charles, Digital Marketing Executive
Q: If you get home from work before your wife, will you consider making dinner or she has to return from work and make it herself? What would you say about gender roles in the home?
Of course, yes. I don’t always wait for her to come home before I make dinner. She works farther away from me than me and has to go through traffic almost every night. The issue isn’t really who does what in my home. The issue is to get things done so that life will be as easy as possible for both of us. So, yes. There are some specified roles between my wife and me, but sometimes that doesn’t matter. The goal is always to ensure that things are easy for each other regardless of who does what.
Efe, Communications Executive
Q: Why do you feel gender equality is important in the work place?
At this point in the world, gender equality in the work place is very important. It can’t be overemphasized. I feel like genders shouldn’t been seen. If you employed me to fill a specific role, then whether or not I meet those KPIs of that role should be what is concentrated on and not my gender. So yes, gender equality is important in the workplace as it gives a level playing ground for growth to everyone.
Chinma, Digital Marketing Manager
Q: Do you feel like you operate in a male dominated space and have to adhere to male centric standards?
Do I feel I operate in a male dominated space? Well, following the analysis online, Digital Marketing Industry is a male dominate industry, but do I have to adhere to male centric standard? Not all. The industry is less about the people you work with and more about the people you are trying to reach and understanding consumer behavior. And because digital has a lot of different parts, It requires a lot of attention, a lot of innovation and efficiency. When it comes to such detailed skills required in this industry, you find them more in women: Creative, bold and active thinking. Women have more capacity in the field of problem solving, they create alternatives and find creative ways of solving everyday problems and this increases productivity both and home and at work. So when you have a skill that works, and yields better result, why adhere to a particular standard “male centric standard’’. I only standard in quote ‘’result oriented standard.
Madam Eno, Data Expert
Q: How have you been able to combine your culturally assigned roles with your career duties over the years?
The secret is always a supportive and understanding spouse o! Madam Eno: When you have a supportive spouse, you will have the opportunity to concentrate on building a career because you’ll know when you drop the ball, he is there to pick it up and ensure that things run smoothly.
If, however you have to always be so bothered about your affairs at home, it then becomes almost impossible to make anything of your career life.
These are interesting and eye-opening conversations that we hope will continue in homes and offices across the country and start a positive chain reaction.
I don’t recall International Women’s day being this interesting! TECNO always finds the classiest, most relatable ways to get a message said.

Controversial Nigerian Rapper, Naira Marley has reacted to a leaked video of himself and a random lady whom he ‘slept with’ in Dubai.
In his usual manner, Naira Marley did not show any sort of remorse or concern for the backlash he could get as he simply said ”Dido Lobo”, which is roughly translated as ”P**sy is meant to be f**ked”.
In related news, the Soappy singer, on Wednesday took to one of his social media handles, Twitter to correct people on the meaning they gave the lyrics of one of his song, Opotoyi.
The clarification comes after a follower hinted on the sexual innuendos in the song.
A fan with the name, Numero Uno @Ayokunu, recently took to Twitter to hail the singer for ‘Da kin to da’, a line in the song, which has become one of the most popularly slang now used on the street.
“When Naira Marley said ‘da kin to da’ that was when I made up my mind I’d vote for him if he runs for presidency. He’s considerate,” he wrote.
The line, which is believed to have sexual undertones when translated mean ‘cum before I cum’.
But another translation connotes: ‘roll your dice before I roll mine.’ This Naira Marley claimed was what he meant as he responded to the tweet saying: “I was talking about rolling a dice by the way. Y’all just got dirty mind.”
