Popular Brazilian singer, Gabriel Diniz, 28, who was one of Brazil’s most successful pop stars, has died in a plane crash.
The plane took off from the city of Salvador in Bahia state on Monday 27 May, bound for Maceió in the east coast, but it crashed due to bad weather in the town of Porto do Mato, Estância, in the state of Sergipe, Brazil.
Diniz was killed along with two pilots, Linaldo Xavier, and Abraão Farias. The star had reportedly been travelling to meet his girlfriend to celebrate her birthday.
‘It is with great pain that we can confirm the death of Gabriel Diniz and the plane’s crew,’ Gabriel’s representatives confirmed to Us Magazine.
Brazilian media reported that the Piper PA-28 Cherokee was deemed airworthy, but was not licensed for air taxi trips such as the one Diniz was apparently making. It was instead only meant to be used for flight training.
But Diniz’s father slammed the report and said Diniz had booked and paid for the flight, and had not caught a free ride as some of his friends had claimed.
Brazil’s National Civil Aviation Authority (ANAC) is reported to be investigating the crash, and has suspended the Aeroclube de Alagoas which operated the aircraft.
Diniz built up his music career while also working as an electrical engineer. He grew a huge following in Brazil, particularly in the wake of his 2018 hit, Jenifer, which has 237m views on YouTube.
His final Instagram post was following a concert in Feira de Santana, Brazil.
“Always a joy to return to Feira de Santana and be greeted with such joy and with so much positive energy. Thank you for the kindness…until next time God willing” he wrote.
Here are photos from the scene with the wreckage of the small plane on display.
A Nigerian journalist, Sam Anokam has taken to social media to narrate how his pastor friend committed suicide, leaving behind two kids and a wife.
According to Sam Anoakam, his pastor friend committed suicide by drinking 2 containers of Sniper due to depression.
He wrote;
This is a sad one for me.The picture here is that of my dear friend and classmate in secondary school, Seun Adedutan. As preparations were on-going yesterday for change to another administration at all levels of government for today, Seun my friend was preparing to meet his maker. He ended his life yesterday afternoon after emptying two containers of the dreaded SNIPER! His cold body is in the mortuary. He left behind a wonderful wife and his two dotting kids.
Depression is real! What we are still trying to unravel is that Seun who we call pastor does not drink, womanize or lust after money; what could have happened? As a strong Christian who others run to for counseling, what could have happened? Life belongs to God.
As one of his brother’s said, despite the economic hardship, people are no longer encouraging one another. Government is aloof to the plight of the people. Who do we turn to? Our churches are now business centres. They no longer preach hope but vanity. They should stop all these crappy teaching of pretending to be rich when you are poor; you are sick, they will tell you to pretend to be strong, all is well bullshit, etc. If a strong Christian like Seun can end his life by himself, wherein lies the hope of norminal believers?
I wrote on this wall last week, that something should be done about this SNIPER, people said the issue is not about SNIPER but ourselves. We have been using ‘otapiapa’ and other rat and insect poison before now, the rate of suicide was not this bad but it seems this SNIPER of a thing has an ‘evil spirit’(for church goers) behind it that is pushing people to drink it.
My friend Seun has never been the outspoken type. He must have bottled up a lot of things that triggered whatever it is that made him decide to end it all.
Please. Speak out and get help when you are depressed! Rasta!

An Ethiopian Airlines aircraft experienced difficulties while attempting to land at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, but there was no threat to the lives of its over 393 passengers which included Nigeria’s former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
OBJ as he’s fondly called, was returning from a conference in Addis Ababa when the Ethiopian Airlines plane he boarded found it difficult to land at Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos due to rainfall.
Speaking in an interview with Premiumtimes, the former president recounted his experience when he was aboard the aircraft.
He said ;
”I was on Ethiopian Airline. Rain just came down heavily. The pilot thought he could land. And he landed. He touched down. But I think he took a swift decision that he had to take off again. So he took off. If he did not, I think he probably would have overrun the runway. He then apologised and said he would try to land again. He tried again, and we landed safely. And we all clapped.
He touched the ground. Then he took off and apologised and landed again at about 12.30. We spent just about 10 minutes in the air before we landed again.
While it all happened, I was reading my papers. One man, who was next to me, said, ‘Oga you no worry?’ I said, ‘Íf I worry, what will I do? If you are on a plane and you have a situation like this, why should you worry?’ I left everything in the hands of God”.
A Ghanaian sex coach has advised me to dump any lady who complains about the size of their manhood and move on to another.
Dzifa Sweetness made this known while speaking on e.TV.
Dzifa admitted that there are small manhood, but she went on to state that such is never the problem as long as the man knows how to use it in bed.
Her words ;
“P3nis is not the problem but when there is a deformity in the p3nis then I can say it is a problem. The size of the p3nis should not be the problem, it is all about how good you use it and how good the man is in the bedroom.
“Sometimes it is lack of confidence. Some guys have it in their mind that he has a small p3nis which will not satisfy a woman. “The way we have short and tall people, it is also the same way we have long and short penises.”
“I want to tell the men that don’t let any woman tell you your p3nis is small. Don’t let one lady discourage you. If she does, try another one and go with confidence.”
“Why will you allow one person to discourage you? It is not small or big p3nis we use to have s3x ooo. There are some guys who have big p3nises but can’t do anything.It is all about how good your foreplay is,”
Regina Daniels Ojeogwu is my biological daughter. What ever is ongoing is not to my knowledge and without my consent.
The fact speaks for itself looking at the picture. Her mother Rita daniel is threading on a dangerous path and I hope she will retrace her steps.
Even the initiation ceremony into otu odu appears completely strange to Regina daniel Ojeogwu.

Regina is from ogwashi uku and not from olor as being rumored. All the opportunities for Mr Ned nwoko to discuss with me proved abortive not realising that we once lived in the same house in awoyokun street, onikpan, Lagos. The implication of all this is that she inpregnated herself. The name Regina was my late mother’s name.
I have tried to exercise restraint but Regina mother kept pushing me to wall. Am alive and not dead. If in doubt of this post call Barrister Jude Ojeogwu on 08033039058. Read it in FULL Details Here.
One Nigerian celebrity who’s quite proud actress, Regina Daniels‘ latest development is none other she who sparks controversy herself, from time to time, reality TV star, Gifty.
The former Big Brother Naira housemate, few hours ago, took to her IG page to share how proud she is of the actress as she weds her older billionaire fiance, Ned Nwoko.
Gifty starts by first telling her that everyone is destined to be great and to achieve this greatness, one has to sometimes, make huge sacrifices. She then goes on to say age is just a number and determination is the real goal.
Popular Nigerian Cross-dresser and Male Barbie, Idris Okuneye AKA Bobrisky has more often than not, been accused of being gay and he has neither debunked or confirm the accusation and he even uses it for clout-bait when he talks about his “bae” and “Sugar Daddies”.
However, a Nigerian man has shared his opinion listing facts and reason why Bob should not be called a Homosexual.
Read below ;
By Mike Daemon
Bobrisky has remained a sensational topic for many, especially when the issue of homosexuality is raised. But interestingly, even though hated by so many, she has been able to win over a lot of people, even her so called ‘haters’ who sort of seem obsessed with her personality, is gradually aligning with her ideals which has resulted in her ever growing fan base with millions of followers on Instagram.
It is unarguably true that Bobrisky is very smart and knows her onion really well especially when it comes to social media frenzy as even though she is always appearing in the media, there’s still more undisclosed and yet to be unraveled about her mysterious nature.
Also, Bobrisky’s feminine nature and frequent talks about having a mysterious male lover which she has often referred to as ‘bae’ has led many to conclude that Bobrisky is gay, an accusation that she has denied so many times in the media.
But even with all this, many seem to think that Bobrisky is just making things up to stay relevant in the media. In fact a certain popular Instagram influencer recently claimed that Bobrisky is using her ‘antics’ to deceive women just to get under their pants. Hilarious right? Well let’s find out why Bobrisky is clearly not gay.
Bobby wears feminine-looking clothing.
The believe that gay men are not real men and that they are all effeminate and are interested in ‘girly’ things is just a stereotype conceived by ignorant folks who know absolutely nothing about homosexuality. Truth is, not all gay men are interested in girly stuff.
Wearing feminine-looking clothing doesn’t make one gay. Homosexuality is a sexual orientation which has to do with being emotionally, sexually/or romantically attracted to people of the same-sex. This means that merely wanting to be sexual with someone of the same-sex doesn’t make one gay.
Also, sex and gender are two different things. A person can be assigned male at birth (sex) but doesn’t identify as one. Bobby was assigned male at birth but now does not only identify as a woman (gender) but lives her life as a woman. She has also come out openly to tell the public that she is a woman and so wishes to be seen and addressed as such.
Bobrisky identifies as a different gender.
As addressed above, dressing up occasionally to portray a different gender doesn’t make one gay or transgender. Men who dress as the opposite sex are referred to as transvestite, and anyone who does this is generally considered a cross-dresser. Yes Bobby might have in the past claimed to have indulged in the practice to promote her cosmetic products, but has now come to clarify things that she isn’t a cross-dresser but a transwoman and so wishes to be seen and respected as such. This is not negotiable.
Bobrisky hasn’t disclosed her sexual orientation.
People should stop seeing/addressing transwomen as gay. Their gender does not define their sexual orientation. Transwomen are women who were assigned male at birth. Bobrisky is a woman, and to the very best of what we know, she has never said that she is sexually, emotionally and romantically attracted to other women and so therefore cannot be labeled gay.
This might be somewhat hard for many to take in, but just because a person hasn’t undergone a Sex- Re-assignment surgery (SRS) doesn’t mean that they cannot be respected as the gender that they identify with.
We need to know that gender is a social construct while sex i.e. male, female or intersex is biological.
Most people need time to fully discover who they truly are, and same applies here to Bobrisky who after some time has recently come out to the public to declare her true gender, but not her sexual orientation.
So given all this, it will be completely foolish for anyone to still think that Bobrisky is gay.

Billionaire, Ned Nwoko today, took to his Instagram page to celebrate young comedienne, Aunty success.
The businessman took to his page to share a cute photo of himself carrying the young comedienne as they pose together for a photo.
Captioning the photo, he wrote;
“Little Miss Success @auntysuccess is a good example that we Nigerian’s are creative and talented people. All we need to do is to try and take advantage of every situation that comes our way. I will do my best as long as I live. God bless us all. God bless Nigeria ??.”
“The post comes a day after he had his traditional marriage with 20-year-old actress Regina Daniel and below are how some folks are reacting to the new photo with little Success.”
Out of the shadows and into the light! Regina Daniels’ biological father sprung into limelight yesterday when his daughter was getting married traditionally to her billionaire fiance, Ned Nwoko.
Barrister Jude Ojeogwu took a lot of people by surprise and the family of Regina Daniels even more, her mother most especially.
Family sources have now revealed that Mr Jude is in no place to seek a bride price since he never paid that of his daughter’s mother.
The sources revealed to LIB that the actress’s mother was filled with concerned when the father of her kids took to social media to react to his daughter’s wedding and stated that his consent was not sought by the much older billionaire groom, Ned Nwoko.
In a series of voice notes that’s currently serving rounds, Mr Ojeogwu claims his daughter was born in 2001 and will turn 18 come October – he also revealed that politician Ned Nwoko is older than 59. He said he knows this because he and Mr Nwoko grew up together. He also added that it was wrong for them to go over his head and get married to his daughter.
Ms Rita Daniels then later said to her friends after yesterday’s ceremony that she intends to head out to her new son-in-law’s home in Abuja to “cool off” and may head to Dubai from there.
Friends of the actress’s mother also stated Mr Ojeogwu has no right to claim certain dues now because he never paid Ms Daniels’ bride price.
One said, “a man who extracted 4 kids from one woman without paying a dime as bride price should not be talking about bride price let alone receiving one.”
They also said, “Regina’s father never married the mother, Rita so he has no right to demand bride price.“
Embattled Relationship Blogger, Blessing Okoro has claimed that Onye Eze, the real owner of the house which she claimed she built on her birthday sent his boys to arrest her and not the Police.
Blessing Okoro claims Onye Eze called her to invite her to his house, she had no idea what was going to happen there but on getting there, his boys arrested her and handcuffed her. She says no Police officer did that to her but his boys.
The blogger blames Onye Eze and his boys for what she is being put through on social media. She went on to say her life is being threatened.
Popular Nollywood actor, Mofe Duncan has taken to his social media page to blast scammers who impersonate him and use his name to swindle people of their hard earned money.
The actor shared screenshots and evidence of internet fraudsters using his name and image to defraud innocent people after a woman was duped of $20,000.

The national chairman of the All Progressive Congress political party, Adams Oshiomhole was chased away by a security personnel for breaching protocol at the Presidential inauguration in Abuja today.
The former Governor of Edo State was filmed standing next to the acting chief judge of Nigeria and other security personnel as they waited for the arrival of President Muhammadu Buhari and his vice Yemi Osinbajo. However, a military official went to speak with Oshiomole and soon after escorted him from where he was standing as he was not meant to be there.
Wife of Ned Nwoko, Regina Daniels, seems to have just introduced her ‘rumored ex-boyfriend’ Somadina Adichie to her Billionaire Husband, Nwoko.
The introduction happened during a lunch which was hosted by the couple to entertain some celebrities and guest who were in Asaba, Delta state for their wedding.
In one of the photo, Daniels could be seen ushering her husband, taking him around to where the actors are seated.
Ned was also spotted in one of the photo shaking Soma’s hand, and the duo could be seen exchanging pleasantries.
Regina Daniels traditional wedding held yesterday, 28th of May 2019, in Delta State and her elaborate ‘White Wedding’ to Ned Nwoko is slated for this weekend.
The actress’ mother Rita Daniels and her friends were there present at the event while a man, claiming to be Regina Daniels father, Jude Ojeogwu was obviously absent.
Recall Jude took to Facebook to say that he’s not in support of the marriage between his daughter and the billionaire. (Read the details here + photos)
In a phone call, he also declared Regina’s age to be 17. (See that here)
Toke Makinwa has once again taken to her social media page to slam critics of people who perform surgeries to enhance their looks/body.
She wrote on her InstaStory,
“Who are you to tell a grown man/woman what to do with their body??? Why all the fuss? If you believe in cosmetic surgery, by all means. If you don’t, that is okay too. Stop trying to condemn those who do. Live and let others live too”.
This is coming days after Veteran Actor, Richard Mofe-Damijo kicked against the act of enhancing one’s looks with surgery, hinting that it does not give true happiness.
RMD said ;
“Having been there and done that, I can tell you for free that weight loss, weight gain, butt enlargement, boob lift, marriage, buying/building your own house, having kids, wearing expensive clothes and shoes CANNOT make you truly happy.
Mostly, the things we do to show others we are beautiful, made, tough and/or connected are things that magnify our insecurities. A man who is secure in himself has no urge to flaunt wealth, I’m yet to see Alh. Dangote post a picture of his “machines” or of him “chilling in his private jet”.
A woman who is secure in her looks has no urge to go under the knife for enhancement, think Michelle Obama.
True happiness comes from knowing who you are (self discovery) and loving yourself, “even though…” Anyone who can live without caring about the validation of others is the one who has found true happiness.”

A twitter user advised men to focus on their family, saying that it costs too much to have a Side chick.
While stating that, the twitter user, identified as Prince Donnell, mentioned that this has been his daily creed and it has been guiding him to focus more on his marriage and business.
He wrote:
IT COSTS TOO MUCH TO HAVE A SIDE CHICK! I remind myself of that statement every single day to remain disciplined in my marriage and in my business
1. You lose your family
The risk of having all the family you care about yanked away is one thing to think about every time you are tempted to go astray, Donnell opines.
“Not only would you lose your girlfriend/wife, but if you had kids, you would lose them too. I personally don’t believe there’s an orgasm great enough to trade for my family. Because family and legacy is all we have in this world. NOT WORTH IT!”
2. You lose money
“A side chick requires maintenance. Every dollar you spend on her when it comes to food, gifts, drinks, gas and etc.. you’re subtracting that from the investments that can be made in your business and the food that goes into your families mouths. NOT WORTH IT!” Donnell says in another tweet.
3. You’re wasting your time
“Believe it or not, your time is money. How much are you worth an hour? Let’s say $50 an hour. If you spend an hour per day with your side chick $50 x 7 hours = $350 dollars That’s a bad investment if she can’t help you double it. NOT WORTH IT!”
4. You lose respect
“These rappers make it look cool to jump from one chick to the next but if you look around, there’s not one person who would agree that it’s respectful to disrespect your girl/wife and family for a side piece. Even your side piece don’t believe that!”
5. You lose everything
“You lost your girl/wife. You lost your family. You lost money in so many different avenues. You’ll eventually lose your side piece because she’s just gonna end up being side piece for someone else. You lose respect. IT’S NOT WORTH IT KING ??.”
When you have a Queen in your life, the best investment you can make is putting your time and energy into her. When you have a powerful woman, you have a powerful life because she’s a multiplier of EVERYTHING that YOU bring to the table ???

Outgoing Governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode, says he will not be attending the inauguration ceremony of his sucessor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, at the Tafawa Balewa Square today Wednesday, May 29th.
Ambode made this known in a statement released by his Chief Press Secretary, Habib Aruna.
The governor in his statement said his absence will afford the incoming governor take all the shine he deserves in such an auspicious day.
“I have already formally handed over reigns of power in the State to the new Governor in a most cordial and convivial ceremony at the State House yesterday. The formal inauguration should have Mr. Sanwo-Olu as the star of the day. I don’t think that glory should be shared with him by my presence,” Ambode said in a short statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Habib Aruna.
A Nigerian student identified as Gallas Kolawole revealed he won’t be able to write his examination today because his landlord locked him at home.
According to him, ‘my Landlord decided to lock me inside d house so as not to go out because of little altercation. Am supposed to write exam this morning but it’s now mission impossible’.
Outgoing Imo state governor, Rochas Okorocha, has told the incoming government and others not to trouble him after leaving office, promising not to trouble anyone as well.
The governor said this in his final address to the state government house workers yesterday Tuesday, May 28th.
”As I walk out of this government house, let nobody fight me and I will not fight anybody. Governor is a shield that covers every personality that is in office. When you remove the shield of the governor off my face, you will see the real Rochas. The real Rochas is still as big, if not bigger than the Rochas who was governor”.
Few hours after he was officially handed over to, incoming Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has made his first appointment.
He has appointed Tayo Ayinde as the new Chief of Staff. Ayinde was Sanwo-Olu’s Campaign Director.
Sources close to Ayinde confirmed the appointment of the former Campaign Director of Sanwo-Olu.
Many friends of Ayinde has bombarded the social media with congratulatory messages.
Independent Online reports that the out-going Governor of Lagos State, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode, on Tuesday officially handed over to the Governor-elect, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, ahead of his inauguration on Wednesday.
Sanwo-Olu’s emergence followed the decision of the ruling All Progressives Congress party in the state not to sponsor Ambode as its governorship candidate in the general elections.
Shortly after the handing over at the Government House, Alausa, the governor-elect told newsmen that it “was a very private formal hand over’’.
The governor-elect was accompanied by his running-mate in the election, Dr Obafemi Hamzat.
Sanwo-Olu had during an interactive session with journalists few days ago given a hint on those that would make his cabinet and his plans for them.
Sanwo-Olu said: “There are so many intelligent people in Lagos. It’s just for us to identify them. Some could work full time, some part time, others could be technocrats or politicians but the bottom line is for us to identify square pegs into square holes and round pegs into round holes. That’s number one.
“Number two, those who would work with Dr Hamzat and I must share our vision. They have to be on the same page with us from day one. The moment a politician or technocrat is appointed, he or she should see himself as a commissioner or staff adviser of Lagos, not for a sect or an area or jurisdiction. These are the basic things, we will not compromise.
“Femi and I have been on this journey for the past eight or nine months. So, immediately we come on board, we will organise a crash course for them (cabinet members) to see where we are going. The moment we all see a common vision, it will be easier for us to drive a common agenda. But I can say Lagosians will be happy with us when we finally bring out those names.”
“Game of Thrones” actor, Kit Harington secretly checked into luxury rehab for stress and alcohol use ahead of series finale airing, which “really hit him hard.”
The 32-year-old actor who played Jon Snow for eight years, has been at luxury Connecticut health retreat Privé-Swiss for nearly a month, arriving weeks before the show’s finale on May 19, Page Six reported.
The British actor has been undergoing psychological coaching, practicing mindful meditation and cognitive behavioral therapy to combat stress and deal with negative emotions at the facility, which costs over $120,000 a month.
A friend told Page Six of Harington, “The end of ‘GoT’ really hit Kit hard …
“He realized ‘this is it — this is the end’, it was something they had all worked so hard on for so many years. He had a moment of, what next?
“He’s in the clinic predominantly for stress and exhaustion and also alcohol.
“Kit has decided to utilize this break in his schedule as an opportunity to spend some time at a wellness retreat to work on some personal issues.”
