Kogi University lecturer slumps and dies, family blames it on non-payment of salary

A Kogi University lecturer identified as Dr Jamiu Abdullahi, has been confirmed dead after he slumped at a hospital while awaiting his test result.

The Department of Arabic and Islamic Studies’ lecturer who last collected his salary in February 2019, was reportedly unable to seek medical treatment for the High Blood Pressure (HBP) which led to his death.

“The family of the deceased could not take him to a better hospital because of lack of fund. The deceased had nothing in his account as he has not been regularly paid by the State government.

It is unfortunate that the drug that was prescribed for him by his doctor could not be bought because we could not raise anything. And the situation got worsened yesterday at about 2pm when he died,” a member of his family said.

Kogi State University Public Relations Officer, Mr Jacob Edegbo who confirmed the death of the lecturer who has already been buried according to Islamic rites, denied claims of his death being as a result of being owed.

”Late Dr Abdullahi has been sick for some time. When he went to the hospital for check-up, before the result came out, he gave up the ghost” he said.

I have never had an extra-marital affair – Comic actor, Hafiz Oyetoro, says

Popular comic actor, Hafiz Oyetoro, aka Saka, recently celebrated the 16th anniversary of his marriage. The ever-smiling and charismatic actor, who also teaches English and drama at the Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education, Ijanikin, Lagos, in an interview with PUNCH, disclosed that he met his wife, Olaide Saidat, when he started teaching at the college in 2001. She was a final-year student of the institution at the time.

“The day I met her for the first time, she came to submit her final year project to her department. She studied Mathematics at the college. She looked very quiet and composed. Immediately I felt that she might make a good wife. I had never felt that way about any woman before. The more I looked at her, the more I told myself that I would like to make her my wife.”

Sixteen years after, the actor still could not tell if he had fallen in love at first sight on that occasion.

An America-based female Nigerian artist’s Toyin Odutola has become the third highest-paid Nigerian artist of all time after her drawing ‘Compound Leaf’ sold at the Sotheby’s for £471,000 which is roughly N215m.

Toyin Odutola sells

After moving from Nigeria to America at the age of five, Odutola became aware of her ‘blackness’ and questioned her identity.

Due to the shock of this transition, she used art as a coping mechanism, and over time, it transformed into an “investigative, learning activity” for her.

Speaking with Vogue about how art helped her escape, Odutola said, “I was obsessed. Capturing everything I saw and being fascinated with the incredibly simple task of looking at something and transmitting it onto paper. It’s immediate magic.”

Odutola creates multimedia drawings on various surfaces investigating formulaic representations and how such images can be unreliable, systemic, and socially-coded.

She has participated in exhibitions at various institutions, including The Drawing Center, New York (2018—19); Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (2017—18); Brooklyn Museum, New York (2016).

She has also exhibited at the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis (2015); Studio Museum Harlem, New York (2015, 2012); Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Ridgefield (2013); and Menil Collection, Houston, (2012).

Her permanent collections include Museum of Modern Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Birmingham Museum of Art, Baltimore Museum of Art and New Orleans Museum of Art.

Odutola’s collections have also been displayed in the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Princeton University Art Museum, Spencer Museum of Art, Honolulu Museum of Art, and the National Museum of African Art (Smithsonian)

“Pastor Fatoyinbo never officiated at our wedding and I was never a choir director at COZA” – Timi Dakolo shares wedding video

Nigerian singer and songwriter, Timi Dakolo has finally debunked the claims of Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo officiating his wedding to Busola, and also being a choir director at COZA.

Timi Dakolo shares wedding video

This came after he supported a former COZA staff who accused Pastor Fatoyinbo of allegedly raping her, and offering monetary settlement for her to remain silent.

Timi Dakolo who shared a video from his wedding ceremony, revealed that the Pastor who officiated his wedding was Pastor Seyi of Global Impact church. He also rubbished claims of receiving monetary and car gifts from Pastor Fatoyinbo after their wedding.

Read his post below;

Desperate people do desperate things including ridiculous attempts at a smear campaigns. So let me address this foolishness once and for all

1• First the ridiculous rumor that Biodun wedded us. Please watch the video yourself , does the Pastor look like Biodun Fatoyinbo? His name is Pastor Seyi of Global Impact church officiating the wedding and that is a statement from Yemi Davids ,Pastor of Global impact church on this issue …but nameless and faceless cyberbullies cant read , can they ?

2• I have never met or been in the same space with Biodun Fatoyinbo nor do I ever want to be and have never been a member of COZA

3• I guess that also answers the desperate attempt to say I was a music director in COZA. Funny as I have never been a music director in ANY church ! A church cant have an anonymous music director can they ? Foolishness !

4• Apparently I had a child, divorced and remarried Busola – Spirit wife and child tings #AfricaMagic , and Busola was given monetary gift ,car and flown to chicago . No be only Chicago , na Soweto. Please do better ,tell more believable lies .

Again I say, desperate people will do desperate things …but as I said before …WE. ARE .READY.

We came out to speak on this painful matter . To bear the shame that goes with this, to be ridiculed, to be doubted …just so that others might be saved and justice served . We are not backing down and no amount of manufactured lies can stop the truth that has started to unveil…

Stella Damasus and her husband, Daniel Ademinokan have in a new YouTube video, disclosed the challenges they face in living with their kids from their previous marriages, which includes the stare at airports and people on social media.

The actress turned vlogger, who admitted that having a blended family took a toll on her, shared that she was careful at first not to scold Daniel’s son so as not to come off as a wicked step-mother.

According to her, things took a different twist after her husband’s mum told her to stop treating him with kid gloves if she indeed loves him as much as she loves her daughters.

Daniel who on the other hand admitted to having quite a messy divorce, revealed that they don’t use the ‘step’ word in their family. According to him, people find it quite hard to believe he is not the biological father of Stella Damasus’ daughters.

The filmmaker who talked about the first one-on-one encounter his ex-wife, Doris had with Stella Damasus, further revealed that having a blended family is way much bigger than those inside as it goes all the way out.
