“@fungirljessica sweetheart, with my fatness I got a successful career, a Benz GL500 2015, a home in PHC another home in Abuja loading, a family who loves me unconditionally and a Man who loves and supports me unconditionally. Normally I won’t even reply you cos I only reply positive comments these days but I had to write this here for any other woman who will feel ashamed of her body or lose confidence because of comments like this. Someone out there needs to read that fat people and slim people are perfect as long as we are healthy. Shame on you for this!”

Alterplate record label owner, Harrysong has said he has found love after many years of searching, and he is ready to get married to her.

In a recent chat with Sunday Scoop, the 38-years-old singer said that, he would marry his heartthrob which he identified simply as Isioma, in 2020.

The singer who had kept the identity of his wife to be off his social media handles said “It’s not a joke, this is forever journey.”

“Yes I am going to get married. I have found Isioma. I have found love and I’ll get married to my Isioma come 2020.’’

The singer also claimed that God showed him his lady and also revealed her name to him before he met her.

He said there was an instant connection between them, adding that it was like they had been waiting to meet each other.

“Things like this are important and sensitive. One needs to pray about it. I am a Christian and when I am having a strong urge, I turn to God.

“I also carried my grandmother along. She is also a Christian and loves me sincerely. We prayed about it and got a revelation about Isioma.

“Though we had some other people saying they are Isioma among other distractions. But I carefully picked her because she is an amazing person. I have not proposed to her but I will soon,” he added.

Controversial cross dresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, has said a whole lot of people waiting for him to have an ‘epic’ fight’ with his best-friend, Tonto Dikeh may have to wait for a long while, or rather would be disappointed.

The 28-year-old said in a post on Instagram on Saturday that even if they have an altercation, he would never make it public.

“I was on my phone when Tonto took dis picture last night It’s so cute. Each time I post Tonto, I read lot of funny comments from some jobless fools, saying I’m waiting for d day both of you will fight. Yes, we might have disagreements because no man is perfect but trust me even if we have disagreements you will never hear pim from my mouth. Dis is a promise to you all waiting for d fight day,” he wrote.

Tonto Dikeh has weighed into the ongoing fight between actresses and former friends turned enemies, Anita Joseph and Uche Elendu.

Anita who is a close friend of Tonto, posted a video online some hours ago, calling out Uche, accusing her of being jealous of her and even went as far as asking if Uche is a Witch.

Tonto appears to disapprove of Anita’s mode of expressing her anger at Uche. In a post shared on her IG page, Tonto said this is not the manner friends treat their fallout. She also pledged never to go this route with her bestfriend, Bobrisky, if they ever have a fallout.

Actress, Anita Joseph took to her Instagram page to call out her best friend and colleague, uche Elendu.. and it’s messy.

The call out was over claims of extreme jealousy in their friendship.

Anita shared details of their messy fight via an IG video, where she alleged that her bestfriend, Uche got angry with her after she modeled the hair of another brand.

That’s not all.

Anita also alleged that Uche has been on the bad side of so many people, as she is always quarreling with everyone around her. She went on to recount how she bought weaves and artificial eyelashes of over N1m from her ‘best friend’ without getting any for free.

Asking if she is a witch who wants her to remain broke, Anita recounted how Uche told her she wanted to give her one of her products for free when their quarrel started. She told her ‘best friend’ to keep her name off her mouth because all is not well between. The actress also recalled telling Uche Elendu not to wish her a happy birthday because her birthday message will be filled with lies.

“I don’t want to end up marrying old man like Regina Daniels” – Actress Princess Nnenna Orji

By

Nollywood actress, Princess Nnenna Orji has assured her fans that she will never marry an older man like her colleague, Regina Daniels.

“No! I would not marry an older man like Regina Daniels. I can’t go that far. Regina Daniels did what she did for reasons best known to her. That’s what she wanted for herself and I respect her decision so much, but I wouldn’t do that, I’m an understanding person. What I desire in a man is different. First of all, I desire a God fearing man. I need someone that will understand me and go along with me, not someone that will ask me to dump my career. I’m not looking for a wealthy man; he should just be comfortable enough to take care of my children and me. But he must be richer than me.”

In the interview, she also addressed the rumours that Somadina Adinma started dating her because his then girlfriend, Regina Daniels dumped him.

She said: “Somadina and I are very close friends, we went to the same school and we’ve both been acting since we were very young. I cannot say it’s true, I cannot say it’s not true. My answer is I’m in a relationship; I’m not in a relationship. That’s the best way to answer the question because if you say you are in a relationship, they start asking who the person is. Let me leave people to their opinion until they see anything.”

They are to be taken into custody if sighted within the jurisdiction of the Canadian law enforcement authorities.

Documents revealed that American authorities have also reportedly briefed their Canadian counterparts about their case against the two Nigerians whose bank accounts used for the alleged suspicious transaction in the United States were domiciled in Canada.

AirPeace CEO Allen Onyema, has denied all fraud allegations by the USAZ, stating that they are false and are in no way in line with his character as a person and as a business man whose only aim has been to build Nigeria and improve wellbeing.

“As the press statement clearly stated, these are indictment that only contains charges. I am innocent of all charges and the US government will find no dirt on me because I have never conducted business with any illegalities.

“Be rest assured that I also have my lawyers on this and these mere allegations will be refuted. I never laundered money in my life, neither have I committed bank fraud anywhere in the world. Every Kobo I transferred to the US for aircraft purchase went through the Central Bank of Nigeria LC regime and all were used for the same purpose.

“The American companies that received the funds are still in business. I never took a penny from any US bank or Nigerian bank. I am willing to defend my innocence in the US courts,” Onyema stated.

The US Attorneys office in Georgia had alleged that the Chairman, CEO, and founder of Air Peace, a Nigerian airline, has been involved with bank fraud and money laundering for moving more than $20 million from Nigeria through United States bank accounts in a scheme allegedly involving false documents based on the purchase of airplanes.

President Buhari

Nigerian president, Muhamadu Buhari has dismissed rumors that he might be seeking a third term.

President Buhari dismissed the rumors when he spoke at the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja yester November 22nd, President Buhari said he will respect the Constitution which allows for only 2 terms.

”I’m not going to make the mistake of attempting a third term. Beside the age, I swore by the holy book that I would go by the constitution and the constitution said two terms. I know that I’m in my last term and I can afford to be reckless because I’m not going to ask for anybody’s vote.

I want you to read the constitution. I made sure that when the constitution says the election as we did it the last time will start in 18 months’ time or 20 months’ time. It is going to be done.

Anybody who fails to maintain the respect of his constituents and is thrown out, it’s his problem. Like the chairman has said, all those who left us to the upper house, none of them were voted by his constituents. You want to take our people for granted but they know what they are doing” he said

One of the counts read: “that you Wisdom Ehis Onojiolou sometime in March 2016 in Benin within the jurisdiction of this honourable court did with intent to defraud, obtained the aggregate sum of N9,000,000.00 (Nine Million Naira) Only from Philian Uwadiae under the pretense that the money was to set up human hair business for her in Benin , a representation you knew to be false and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 1(1)(b) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act, 2006 and punishable under section 1(3) of the same Act”.

The two brothers pleaded guilty to the charges when it was read to them .

In view of their plea, the prosecution counsel, I.M Elody prayed the court to sentence and convict the defendants accordingly. However, defence counsel, Martha Imafu pleaded with the court to temper justice with mercy as the defendants were first time offenders who have become remorseful.

Woman Gives Birth To Quintuplets After 16 Years Of Childlessness

By
Daniel Oyetoro
-

It is the joy of every woman to be called a mother after marriage. for many that expectant joy could become instantly traumatic when the fruit of the womb isn’t forthcoming after years of marriage.

For 44-year-old Mrs Susan Egenti, her joy knew no bounds when she delivered quintuplets after 16 years of marriage. She was delivered of the babies at the Federal Medical Centre, Jabi, Abuja.

Mrs Susan Egenti an indigene of Nando, in Anambra East Local Government Area of Anambra State was delivered through a caesarean section on November 6, 2019. The quintuplets three boys and two girls were still in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the hospital when our reporters visited on Thursday afternoon, though the nurses looking after them said they were hale and hearty.

They stated that four of the babies were born healthy, measuring the average weight of a newborn, except one who was underweight and was weighed 1.9 Kg. Speaking to Daily Trust on Saturday on her hospital bed, Mrs Egenti said within her 16 years of marriage, she had taken all medical options (except IVF) to get a baby but to no avail until she had the quintuplets.

She said she resorted to traditional/herbal remedies to conceive a child but that was also futile, leaving her in perpetual despair. She described the birth of her babies as an enormous blessing from God as it was her first and only pregnancy since she got married in 2003. “I have been married since 2003 with no children, not even to get pregnant and have a miscarriage. Every time we attend a child dedication either in our church or elsewhere, I always come home crying, praying for the day God will have mercy on me and grant me the fruit of the womb.” She narrated that the birth of the babies almost took her life as she underwent two different operations, after the delivery, to stop the internal bleeding she suffered.

She stressed that the last operation one left her in a coma for about five days. Mrs Susan who lives with her husband in a room self-contained apartment in Utako village says she sells plastic containers while her husband manages a small chemist at Jabi park.

According to her, she has spent all her meagre resources on medical expenses and as such, they are left with nothing to cater for the five children, calling on Government and philanthropic Nigerians to assist them.

Her husband, Mr Emmanuel Nnamdi Egenti, who also spoke to our reporters at his one-bedroom accommodation in Utako village, an urban slum in the heart of Utako District, expressed joy over the birth of his quintuplets, saying even during their years of childlessness, they had never given up, but rather, put their hope in God, as there was nothing he could do.

However, he said they were yet to pay for the hospital bills even though the babies have been discharged but their mother is very ill and can’t even stand on her feet. He prays for the government’s intervention to enable then take care of the babies, adding that they would not be having any more babies in the future.

“We are grateful to God for what he has done for us. He has proven that He is the one and only true God, who answers prayers of those who call on Him,” he said, stressing that the because they were poor, the prospect of looking after the children in terms of feeding, clothing, education and healthcare was so bleak that their joy at having the babies was almost, immediately, turning into despair and despondency.

Dr. Tochukwu Nwoye, the medical doctor who led a team of doctors that carried out the operation, was not on seat when our reporters visited the hospital. The new mother of five who couldn’t hide her despair on how to foot the bills and subsequently take care of her new bundle of joy was kept in a semi-private ward away from her babies as she was still recuperating from the operations.

US charges Air Peace CEO, Allen Onyema with bank fraud and money laundering

By
Daniel Oyetoro
-

Allen Onyema, 56, the founder of Air Peace, has been charged with bank fraud and money laundering for moving more than $20 million from Nigeria through U.S bank accounts in a scheme involving false documents based on the purchase of airplanes.

Air Peace’s Chief of Administration and Finance, Ejiroghene Eghagha, 37, has also been charged with bank fraud and committing aggravated identity theft in connection with the scheme.

“Onyema allegedly leveraged his status as a prominent business leader and setup various innocent sounding multi-million dollar asset purchases which were nothing more than alleged fronts for his scam,” said acting Special Agent in Charge Robert Hammer.

According to U.S. Attorney Pak, the indictment, and other information presented in court: Beginning in 2010, Onyema began travelling frequently to Atlanta, where he opened several personal and business bank accounts.

Between 2010 and 2018, over $44.9 million was allegedly transferred into his Atlanta-based accounts from foreign sources. In years following the founding of Air Peace, he traveled to the United States and purchased multiple airplanes for the airline.

Beginning in approximately May 2016, Onyema, together with Eghagha, allegedly used a series of export letters of credit to cause banks to transfer more than $20 million into Atlanta-based bank accounts controlled by Onyema.

The letters of credit were purportedly to fund the purchase of five separate Boeing 737 passenger planes by Air Peace. However, the supporting documents were fake.

After Onyema received the money, he allegedly laundered over $16 million of the proceeds of the fraud by transferring it to other accounts.

Onyema and Eghagha were indicted on November 19, 2019, on one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud, three counts of bank fraud, one count of conspiracy to commit credit application fraud, and three counts of credit application fraud.

Additionally, Onyema was charged with 27 counts of money laundering, and Eghagha was charged with one count of aggravated identity theft.”
