Nigerian Singer, Paul Okoye has joined the list of celebrities backing singer Tekno after the latter was told by the FG that he was a threat to national security.
Paul Okoye jeered the Federal Government of Nigeria for referring to singer Tekno’s “Lekki nude video” as “a threat to national security”.

A 52-year-old man identified as Emmanuel Ikhine has been arrested by men of the Ogun State Police Command for raping and impregnating his 18-year-old biological daughter.
Mr. Ikhine’s arrest came after one Yemisi Ashade reported the issue to the police in company of the victim.
Mr. Ikhine’s daughter had told Ashade about the sexual abuses her father subjected her to and threats of dealing with her if she tells anybody.
Confirming the arrest, the state’s police spokesperson Abimbola Oyeyemi said the victim shared her plight with Ashade after she got fed up with it.
Oyeyemi said ;
“The Divisional Police Officer, Sango Ota, Godwin Idehai, a Chief Superintendent of Police(CPS), detailed his detectives to the scene where the randy father was promptly arrested.
“On interrogation, he made a confessional statement that he has been having carnal knowledge of the victim long before now since he has separated with his wife.
“The victim who claimed to be the only girl amongst the three children of her father explained how the suspect has been sleeping with her whenever her two brothers are not around with threat, but when she can not bear it, she reported to their neighbour who brought her to the station to report.
“The victim was taken to general hospital where it was confirmed that she is already pregnant for her father.
“The Commissioner of Police, Bashir makama has directed that the suspect should be transferred to anti-human trafficking and child labour unit of the state criminal investigation and intelligence department for further investigation and prosecution.”
Nigerian media personality, Daddy Freeze has waded in on the social media conversation of ‘Jesus being the only way to heaven‘ which was ignited by comedienne, Maraji’s post, with his opinion on the claim.
It should be recalled that Maraji’s post which many described as ‘offensive and insensitive’ read,
“There is only one way to heaven. No Allah, no Buddha, no Krishna, no evolution, Only Jesus.”
However, reacting to the claims made by the Instagram comedienne, Daddy Freeze alleged that Jesus Christ was invented 400 years ago and was not known by people who lived on earth before then.
The media personality and ‘Free The Sheeple’ leader further stated that the truth about Yahushua, the real son of Yahweh was destroyed at that time to make room for a manipulative, monetized and politicized ‘Jesus’ doctrine.
Admitting that Maraji’s intentions are pure, Daddy Freeze however noted that her knowledge of the truth is in doubt and further asked her to embrace the truth so she won’t end up having a zeal for God without knowing who He truly is.
He wrote,
Dear Maraji,
Jesus was invented about 400 years ago, just about the same time the truth about Yahushua, the real son of Yahweh was destroyed, to make room for a manipulative, monetized and politicized ‘Jesus’ doctrine.
–
If you went back in time only 500 years ago, not a soul on earth would have the foggiest idea who ‘Jesus’ was.
–
How can a name the disciples didn’t even know existed, be the way to Yahweh??
–
? Acts 4:12 ?
New International Version
Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”
–
Ask yourself this question, if there was no other name under heaven given to mankind for salvation 2000 years ago, where did ‘Jesus’ come from only 400 years ago, when both the Hebrew and English language didn’t have a ‘J’ sound?
–
Until 400 years ago, the English language didn’t have ‘the letter J’. Clear evidence of this exists in the original 1611 translation of the king james Bible, where ‘John’ was ‘Ion’ and ‘Jeremiah’ was ‘Ieremiah’.
–
In addition to this, both Jesus and Joshua had the exact same name In Aramaic and Hebrew; ‘Yahushua’ so why does ‘Joshua’ still sound like the original name, while a new name had to be invented for the pagan Roman god ‘Jesus’ whose birthday was merged with pagan gods, while his resurrection was aligned with the celebration of ‘eostre’ a pagan Saxon goddess??
–
If the name ‘Jesus’ didn’t exist until 400 years ago, don’t you want to find out what name was being used to cast out demons in the scripture below?????
–
? Luke 9:49 ?
New International Version
“Master,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him, because he is not one of us.”
–
Jesus is absolutely NOT the way, Yahushua is, and his doctrine is the truth, the light, the spirit and the embodiment of the word, grace and love of Yahweh.
–
I know your intentions are pure but your knowledge of the truth is in doubt, embrace the truth so you don’t end up having a zeal for God without knowing who he truly is. ~FRZ
–
? Romans 10:2 ?
New International Version
For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge.

A 40-year-old Indian actress Pradnya Parkar, allegedly strangulated her teenage daughter and then committed suicide after at their Kalwa residence in Gauri Suman Society on Friday morning, Thane Police said.
Pradnya Parkar allegedly left behind a suicide note admitting to the murder-suicide and said she was under extreme stress. Her daughter Shruti, 17, was an HSC student at a Thane college.
Preliminary reports by the police suggested that Parkar, who worked in several Marathi serials and an unreleased Marathi movie, was not getting much work these days and her husband too was facing problems in his business. The neighbours said she had been home without work for many months.
A senior police inspector of Kalwa police station, Shekhar Bagde said the deceased had also come to know that her husband was having an affair.

On return, he found the door of the flat locked from inside. With help from neighbours, he broke down the door and found his wife hanging from the ceiling fan and his daughter suffocated to death in the bedroom. Further probe is on.
“We think a financial crisis led to the murder-suicide, but a probe is under way,” said Shekhar Bagde, adding that the actress left a note taking responsibility for her actions. “She said no one else should be blamed for this,” Bagde added.

David Uyi Omokaro has come to the defense of Instagram comedian, Maraji while saying Jesus should be the one receiving criticisms from Twitter users and not Maraji, because, according to him, Jesus promoted divisiveness.
Maraji became the number one trending topic on twitter for dismissing other religions by saying on the day Muslims were celebrating eid-El-Kabir that Jesus is the only way to heaven, “not Allah, not Buddha, not Krishna” (read here ICYMI).
However Uyi asked people to direct their ire at Jesus Christ who he says did worse.
He tweeted:
“The misconception is that Maraji aired what she believes. When actually she aired what Jesus believes. It wasn’t her opinion. Jesus is the problem. He is offensive.”
You people don’t understand how offensive this Jesus was. Pharisees will invite him to their party to eat. He will sit there & be eating & be abusing them in their own house. O you vipers” o you foolish men” but he is eating & sitting in their house. Leave Maraji.”
Comedian, Wale Gates has reacted to a statement which was made by a counsellor at the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG about masturbating with a particular person in mind being rape.
@PSFRCCGOfficial took to Twitter to highlight points made during the RCCG Convention 2019. While discussing masturbation, Timi Oyebode, a counsellor and author at the church said masturbating to someone’s image is no different from raping the person.
One of the tweets shared by RCCG reads,
You can’t Masturbate without imagining someone in mind and when you do such, you are partaking in RAPE.
For the person you picture in your mind hasn’t given you the right to touch or picture them in your mind.
@timioyebode
#BrightStars #AndGodSaid #RCCGConvention2019
A number of Twitter users didn’t quite agree with this school of thought as they expressed their disagreement on the platform.
Comedian Wale Gates reacted to the tweet, saying,
What I want to ask RCCG now is, So if and when I want to “release tension” and go on at certain website to research material for tension release, Do I have to call the person that might be in my thots first for their consent?
Mount Zion Faith Ministries clergyman, Mike Bamiloye has said to married men that they’re endangered if their spouses don’t know how to pray.
In a post on his Instagram page recently, the filmmaker shared that if a man’s wife doesn’t know how to pray and study the word of God, then that said man is endangered.
He wrote,
Man, If Your Wife Is Just Beautiful BUT Cannot Pray and Study the Word of God, Ah! You Are An Endangered Species!
His post has caused people to react, particularly women, as they wonder why men can’t be a prayerful species themselves.
Are men babies?? Your wife will cook, clean, take care of children, go to work, give you her salary and still pray for you?? What is it na?? ??
– wrote a netizen who was reacting to the clergyman’s notion.

Popular Nigerian Instagram comedian, Maraji is currently trending on Twitter and it’s rather unfortunate that it’s not about her engaging social media contents this time.
The youngster is currently a trending topic after she shared a quite sensitive statement about religion on her page recently.
Maraji had taken to her page to share that Christianity is the only way to heaven and stated categorically that all other reliogions, including Islam won’t get anyone to eternal glory.
Her statement is not one that’s new in the world when it comes to conflict in religious beliefs but netizens are disappointed that the young influencer choose the day when Muslims are celebrating their annual “Salah” day to share her stance.
Maraji seems to be unapologetic about her statement but claims she didn’t mean to be offensive but won’t bend her truth just to adjust to standards of other people.
This has caused her to become a trending topic on social media and people have a lot to say… See some reactions below,
– Maraji shouldn’t have said what she said, not even at this time. Besides, Christianity is not about condemnation. You can preach about your religion in other ways without relegating the faith of others.
– Just seeing this on Maraji’s page, and in as much as it might just be her personal opinion, I must say the mentality is actually shallow. This is why I still say Christians are largely misguided.
– I have never even Rated Maraji tho
Looking at some things technically, if she was born into a Islamic Religion or any other one, she would def feel her Religion is the right one, this Religion thing get as e be jere.
Morever some things are better left unsaid
– I’m still trying to understand what people find wrong in what Maraji posted! She aired her own opinion, what’s wrong with that please?
Each person is free to worship whatever and whoever they want to, d Nigerian constitution provides that.
– But what
@Maraji_
Said is the truth , it is the basic of being a Christian. I see no problem with her views.
It’s not being insensitive, its knowing Christ as the only way.
– I don’t see anything wrong in what Maraji said to be honest, I once read a Qoran that sees Christians as unbelievers.
Some Muslims condemn Christians so why is everyone angry??♀️
What she said might not be the truth but it’s not wrong either…
– the problem with maraji’s post is the obvious insensitivity.
if you don’t see it, you’re part of the problem too.
– “Maraji is cancelled” but your mum has been begging you not to eat sallah meat since yesterday

Try not to starve your partner of sex during your mentrual period as a woman. There are advantages of having sex during your period.
Although it can get messy anyways, but then it can reduce the duration of the period, relief cramps to an extent, and you should use a CD!
Hey guys! Before your rage wears a dirty pant, please know that it’s optional… Some people do it anyways!
He continued;
Question time? ⌚ Prevent infection and pregnancy and try as much as you can to keep it tidy, hence the shower is a good place under running water… You know I don’t know anything right? So please don’t take this personal. It’s all about facts in science. ☺️

The video of a really cute 6 year old boy singing trending song, “Brown Skin Girl” by Beyonce and Wizkid to his kid baby sister is currently warming hearts online.
The little boy with a sonorous voice sang the charts-topping song to the delight of his sister, who had the loveliest smile on her face.
The video has since melted the hearts of many since it was uploaded on the internet and we’re sure the same will be said for you after you watch the video below,
Brown Skin Girl is a song off RnB singer, Beyonce’s The Gift album for the live remake of classic animation, The Lion King.
The track features Nigerian singer, Wizkid and Beyonce’s daughter, Blue Ivy and is undoubtedly one of the hottest songs off the album as virtually every black skin lady have made it their anthem.
The Nigerian Federal Government has vowed to restore sanity into the social lives of its citizens and curb the debasement of humanity and pride of Nigerian women by making scapegoats of some peculiar persons.
This motion by the government is in reaction to the controversial music video by popular musician, Tekno which featured scenes of four semi-nude women dancing in a moving van on the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge in Lagos.
The singer, in the four-minute video, was seen throwing money suspected to be dollars at the young women in the see-through truck.
The government expressed disappointment that despite ongoing investigations into the anomaly, Tekno went ahead to release the offensive video.
In the official music video for the song, ‘Agege,’ which was released on Thursday, Tekno was seen in the moving van performing to the camera with the half-clad women dancing seductively.
A statement on Sunday by the Director General, National Council for Arts and Culture, a parastatal of the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture, Segun Runsewe, said Tekno would be made a scapegoat “to teach others a serious lesson.”
According to him, the NCAC is committed to exposing proponents of such kind of offensive sights and videos in Nigeria, while security agencies will be briefed to place Tekno on their watch list, “because his conduct is a threat to national security.”
Runsewe said he got hundreds of telephone calls and SMS from Nigerians, both at home and in the Diaspora, who queried why such immorality would be allowed in the country.
He stated,
“We commend the police for arresting Tekno for the shameful misconduct. The same person, who was granted bail on health grounds has gone ahead to release the controversial video. We are now warning him to desist from this shameful conduct, which is not part of our culture.
“No single person is bigger than Nigeria; whether he likes it or not, we are going to use him as a scapegoat to send strong signals that this government does not tolerate nonsense and immorality, but discipline, which is our moral principle.
