Chris Attoh’s second wife Bettie Jenifer has reportedly died in the U.S after being shot!
Jenifer was leaving her office in Maryland Friday evening when she was accosted by a gunman who tracked her down and fired off multiple rounds at her, NBC Washington reports.
At least one of the shots struck her and fatally wounded her. She was declared dead at the scene by emergency services.
The shooter was described as black and having a thin build with black hair. He was wearing dark clothing and may have been in a blue car.
The couple married in October 2018, shortly after Chris divorced his first wife, Nigerian actor, Damilola Adegbite, with whom he has a son.
Last week, Chris sparked speculation on social media that all was not well with his second marriage after he deleted all of Bettie’s pictures from his IG page.
Veteran Nigerian rapper, Micheal Ugochukwu Stephens, better known as Ruggedman, was recently engaged in a war of words with singer, Naira Marley.
The rift started after Ruggedman expressed his opinion on how he felt Naira Marley was misleading the public with his position on cybercrime.
And yesterday, Naira Marley was arrested by the EFCC for promoting cyber crime.
In an interview with Saturday Beats, the rap artiste said,
“I gave my opinion about Naira Marley’s message on fraud because fraud is obviously a criminal act. It is outrageous for any young artiste to come out and publicly say it is not a crime. Aside from the fact that I am a veteran in the music industry.
I’m older than he is so I have to caution such remarks. If I don’t, it has the ability to ruin the whole community because after his comments, many people began to say that all musicians are into fraud.
“I cannot sit down and watch all the years of hard work I used to build my brand as Ruggedman go down the drain; it’s making everyone in the music industry look like a fraudster. That was why I spoke out,” he said.
Reacting to being called an ‘old book’ on the shelf in the Nigerian music industry, Ruggedman noted that there was nothing being said on social media that could move him emotionally.
And about insulting me; it is a free world on social media; it is a different case if he can say it to my face. I am not a keyboard gangster; I do stuff in the real world.
I only use social media to promote my music and people who are in need. If anyone has issues with me; if they are man enough to face me, then they should. What people say on social media doesn’t matter to me as long as it won’t tarnish my image. I want everyone to know that if Naira Marley is saying fraud is not a crime; he is on his own. No young artiste should try to justify or glorify crime,” he added.
Big Brother Naija star, Uriel Oputa shared new photos of herself where she’s caked with heavy makeup on her IG page and a troll, upon seeing her photos, said she looked like a “demon possessed human”.
Over time, the chef has been known to reply her trolls positively, regardless of how insulting they are to her and this time too, she portrayed her positive vibes only attitude.
Following the controversial arrest of Nigerian singer, Naira Marley by the EFCC, former Big Brother Naija housemate, Deeone took to his IG page to commend the EFCC for arresting singer Naira Marley, who has openly shown his support for internet fraudsters.
Deeone wrote,
“Kuddos to @officialefcc on this one let’s learn to lead by example. Nigeria no be USA… At least people go begin learn lesson from here.
Ace producer, Victor Raymond Ngubor widely known as T-spize has been hospitalized in Ghana after being hit with a strange sickness.
According to reports, T-spize has been in Ghana to work with the biggest music artistes in the country until he had a misunderstanding with an unidentified Ghanaian music artiste who promised to deal with him.
And just three days after the threat, T-spize was hit with a sickness that has since condemned him to a wheel chair with the inability to move his lower limbs. T-spize is already already paralized.
However, there have been reports that since T-spize was rushed to the hospital, the treatments that have been given to him by medical practioners have proven abortive with the situation getting worse.
T-spize has worked with Nigerian heavyweight musicians such as Davido, Wizkid, Runtown, Phyno and the likes.
Last Month, the popularity of Teen Actress, Regina Daniels Skyrocketed as most entertainment blogs became engrossed with her alleged marriage to a 59 year old man identified as Ned Nwoko.
While so many fans frowned at the act, others lauded the actress for seemingly securing her future/destiny by getting wedded into riches. Others were also of the view that love goes deeper than ages (In so far they are old enough).
While Regina Daniels’ case generated clout, they are other similar cases of some young beautiful Nigerians that married a much older man, for convenience.
Photos of Adams Oshiomhole, late Tony Anenih, Razak Okoya, Chief Emmanuel Iwanyanwu and other socialites and politicians who married women young enough to be their daughters and in some cases, grandchildren, have been dug out.
Most of the ladies frolicking with elderly men have always claimed to be doing it for love but the society seems to disagree.
Below are photos of five Ladies who got married under similar circumstance.
The former Governor of Edo State surprised many when he brought home his beautiful foreign wife and their love has blossomed ever since.
Chief Rasaq, 78, and Sade got married in 1999 when Sade was just 22 years old when she got married to the Billionaire, and their union has lasted for two decades and counting !! Love is sweet !
Although now estranged, their marriage was the talk-of-the-town and everyone wondered what a very young ex-beauty queen would be doing with a man who is 35 years older than her.
The wedding held between Dabota and Prince Sunny Aku in Lagos at the Oriental hotel in 2014 with a few dignitaries including the then governor of Anambra State, Mr Peter Obi, present.
Nigerian politician, diplomat and lawyer, Bianca, the winner of the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria 1988 Pageant, In 1989, it was revealed that Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu was dating former Biafran president and Ikemba of Nnewi Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, a political associate of her father who was over thirty years older than her. She married the former Biafran president in a lavish wedding ceremony in Abuja.
Chief Iwuanyanwu married Frances Chinonyerem Enwerem in 2014, the daughter of one of his late wife’s close friends, on Saturday September 14th (traditional wedding) in Owerri, Imo State. At the time of their wedding, the Billionaire Chief was 72 years old while his bride was 26
When talking about the list of top ‘besties’ in the Nigerian music industry, singers, Waje and Omawumi, would be at the top of the list.
The duo have been friends for so long that they recently launched an entertainment outfit together.
Omawumi shared the secret to their longtime friendship. She noted that although they had issues from time to time, they always found ways to work things out.
The songstress said, “It is very easy to work with women, especially those that are professionals. Sometimes, people have the impression that women are supposed to be slow and that we do not grasp things easily but the truth is that women are one of the best multitaskers in the world. So, when you give a woman a task, she thinks of how she can be the best at the job and also the best version of herself so that you can come back and work with her.
Veteran rapper, Ruggedman has reacted to the arrest of Nigerian singer, Naira Marley, who have both been in logger head for the past few day.
Ruggedy baba made this known in an interview he had recently with, CITY FM, saying he was happy Naira Marley was arrested because the singer played himself.
According to rugged man, he was expecting to see the singer’s supporters at the EFCC office to burst him out but he never saw any.
Ruggedman, further said Naira Marley himself by promoting the “Yahoo Yahoo” business, which everyone have been campaigning against.
The rapper also noted that an EFCC battle is not what one pulls away from easily, saying, Naira Marley got a dose of reality check.
Ruggedman finally said that, Naira Marley’s arrest will tell other cybercrime activist that the authorities are watching.
A Facebook user, Mystic Biu, took to their page to share the shocking story of how three University of Abuja freshmen watched their friend, one 17-year-old Emmanuel Aigbokhalode Balogun drown at the Dome Hotel pool because he was always doing “shakara” and all the girls in their school were flocking around him alone.
Read the chilling story below,
TRUE LIFE STORY
We live in a very trying and perilous times. A very dear friends undergraduate’s 17yr old son got drowned at the Dome hotel pool in abuja last weekend. He was in the company of his friends. The friends didn’t report to the hotel mgt what happened nor to the deceased’s (Emmanuel Balogun) parents. They went back to the school (Uni Abuja) hostel immediately after the incident.
On Monday a young girl from uni abuja called the mother of the deceased that they did not see Emmanuel her son in class. She went further to tell the parents it’s like something has happened to Emma and ended the call. The mother called back the line but it was switched off. She notified her husband & they immediately placed a call to their sons number and it was off. They drove that Monday night to their sons hostel but met his absence. They now got information that a party was thrown for fresh year students over the weekend at the Dome hotel in town. They set forth for the hotel. The hotel mgt told them there was a case of drowning in their hotel over the when’d & directed them to the police.
The police now led them to the mortuary, lo & behold it was their son. Yesterday morning, myself & the deceased uncle went to the police to see the CCTV footage of what transpired @ the hotel. What I saw and later heard yesterday was unbelievable. From the CCTV, we noticed the deceased entered the pool with 3 of his friends and around 3.33am he started struggling in the pool.
His friends where all watching him until he stopped struggling and drowned. They all left the pool immediately and one took his handset the other took his trouser and brought out the money inside the pocket and wore his shoes. They left the hotel around 4.18am according to the footage we saw. The police went to the school & effected the arrest of the trio and mgt of the hotel.
At the DIG’s office yesterday afternoon, I heard something that has being giving me cold shivers all through yesterday and right now. One of the boys said that he wanted to raise an alarm to save the boy but the other two boys asked him not to. That the deceased is always doing shakara because his father his rich, he went further to say that the other one said all the girls are always admiring the deceased so he should let him be joor. This are just mere 17/18yr old boys ???.
Watching the CCTV footage where the friends were watching him drown and collectively decided,cos there was a time they grouped together to discuss for about a minute & from the confession of one of them is not only traumatic for me but also disheartening. They watched their “Friend” die out of jealousy & envy ?. According to them, it was the deceased that paid 2k each gate fee for them and also bought fish and juice which they all drank. This are mere teenagers with that kind of heart.
My people, be extra careful for people you call your friends. According to the DIG, A lot of people are being murdered daily cos of envy from friends. No doubt, There are good and wonderful friends but also, know ye, there are also friend-enemy everywhere. So be extra careful and prayerful cos the love of many has really waxed cold. ??. The young man was buried today amid tears ? according to the wishes of his parents but his wicked friends & hotel mgt are still in police custody at the force headquarters as we speak. May none of us bury any of our children or young ones in Jesus name. Amen.
Beware of jealous & Envious friends they are more lethal and toxic than acid. ????????????. Below ??is the picture of the young man whose death would have being avoided. ??
A female senior lecturer (name withheld) in one of the tertiary institutions in Rivers State has given graphic details of her ordeals in the hands of kidnappers.
She recounted how she was raped in the forest of Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers and miraculously escaped from the kidnappers’ den.
Amid tears, she told her horrific story on Friday at the 6 Division of Nigerian Army, Port Harcourt shortly after the Deputy Director, Army Public Relations, Col. Aminu Iliyasu, handed over the three men who confessed to have kidnapped her to SARS.
The victim, who was accompanied by her husband and a female relative, said: “I was in my house in Port Harcourt on April 30, 2019. I was alone with my children and my husband’s cousin. They were sleeping in the room.
“I was washing with machine at the balcony. Since it was around 8 p.m., there was a programme I always watched on Zee World.
“As I was washing my clothes, I was watching the programme. The main gate was locked, but the protector was open, since I had to go downstairs to get water.
“I was in the living room, when I noticed that the protector opened slightly. I was wondering, because if my husband returned from work, he would horn and I would have to go and open the main gate for him.
“I was wondering who was there. The other person who was supposed to come back from work was sleeping. The next thing I saw was the key to the main door opened.
“Then I saw two guys first, pointing a gun at me. One of them cocked the gun and he asked after my husband but I said he had not closed from work.
“He then angrily asked why he had not closed from work at that time. I told him I wouldn’t know. He asked me to cooperate otherwise they would finish me, saying they were not playing with me.”
She went on: “He asked of my ATM card and PIN. I gave him. He asked if I had money in the house I said no but I had gold, which could be sold for N50, 000 but they rejected it.
“One person took our television, another took the laptop. I was tying a wrapper with spaghetti top since I was in my house. They then asked me to follow them.
“One of them asked me to get a dress but they did not let me leave the living room. The dress I wore to school that day was on my room’s door. They brought it for me and I wore it.
“They asked of my car’s key, I brought it out and I gave it to them. That was how they put me in my vehicle and as they were about to drive out, they found it difficult because of the space we share with our neighbour and they were hitting my neighbour’s fence.
“My neighbour came out and I said I was in trouble. Maybe he did not see me. The kidnappers put my head under the car’s seat and they drove off. I did not know the direction they followed.
“We then got to a place that was not motorable. So, we had to come down. That was how we started the journey inside the bush. I asked them what I did but they did not respond.
“That day, they paid me salary. I told them to let me give them the salary that was transferred to me.
“One of them then gave me an account number, which I forwarded my salary N59, 000 to. As we were still going inside the bush, he called someone to confirm if the person had received the alert.
“We later saw river that got to my knees. The leader pulled his trousers but I had to carry my dress up. That night, we spent about two hours in the bush, just moving around and I was barefooted because they did not allow me to wear slippers, thereby giving me injuries.
“They later blindfolded me and we got to a place where they said that was where we would stay that night. I slept on bare ground in the open forest.
“The next morning, out of the two of them that followed me inside the bush, one of them left, remaining one who told me that if I did not cooperate with him, to allow him to sleep with me four other persons would come in the afternoon and they would have me.
“But if I allowed him to sleep with me, he would let me go. I told him I would not be able to do it. When I was still sitting on the floor, he masked himself with his dress and he raped me.
“Later in the afternoon, I stood there and I cried. If I shouted, I would not have received help. It was indeed abush although I could hear the sound of passing vehicles.”
The woman added: “When it rained heavily, we were all under the rain. I was completely wet. They removed their clothes and had only their boxer shorts.
“After the rain, they cleaned themselves and wore their clothes. That was the only dress I had and I could not go naked. I was so cold.
“Later in the day, another one came and he asked me if I would eat but I said I was not hungry. He said I should eat in order not to die in the forest.
“He said if I died, they would still collect the ransom. They later brought packed food: fried rice with two fried meat and sachet water with orange juice for me but I could not eat because I did not have appetite. I just managed to take the sachet water and the two pieces of meat.
“The elderly one that came seemed nicer. He said they would never rape their victims but I told him the other one had already raped me.
“He was surprised and went back to ask him. He confirmed raping me. He said in their culture, it was forbidden and that before they would let me go, they would do something.
“I told them I am a Christian and I would not be part of it. I said I had forgiven him and left him to God. He said when they got to our house and if they had seen N500, 000, they would not have carried me.
“He said teachers’ money (ransom) was N5 million, but if my husband could raise N3 million, they would let me go.
“Around 7 p.m. on Wednesday, they asked of what I would eat but I said I was not hungry but I asked them to call my people.
“They then called my husband, but he was calm and he said he had no money again since they had collected the over N100, 000 he had with the ATM card.
“That was when I knew that they had collected the money. I begged them to let me go but they asked me to shut up, claiming that I was talking too much.
“When they noticed that I was very cold, they said they would take me to where I could warm myself. We then went further into the bush.
“In the place, it was like a shed with fire place. We slept on three benches overnight. Early the next morning, we left the place. As we were about changing location, one of them said he was not comfortable with where he was going and to go back to where we were.
“We then went back to where we were on Wednesday. While we were there, I had strength and I knew that members of my church were praying for me. I knew that my God would not let me down.
“I told God that after all my suffering, the kidnappers would not take the requested N3 million from my husband. They said my husband promised to call them before 12 noon on that day to drop the ransom.
“So, they were happy. One went to sleep, while the other took his phone and went away. I waited for a while, the one that went to make call was not coming.
“I did as if I wanted to urinate, the one that was sleeping did not ask me to come back. I saw it as an opportunity to escape. That was how I ran away.
“God helped me in the bush and I was following the sun but I was seriously injured and bleeding. I later came out of the bush and I saw a road.
“I did not know where I was. I was stopping vehicles but the dress I wore was so dirty. So, no vehicle was stopping for me. I then saw two guys in a vehicle, they helped me.

Represented at the occassion by the Minister of State for Education, Anthony Anwuka, President Buhari in his speech which was read by Anwuka, said
“You are cautioned that university degrees do not usher you into an El Dorado.

The Federal Government will remain undaunted in tackling the challenges of youth unemployment and underemployment through a matrix of initiatives.”

A Ghanaian man identified as Victor Eghan, took to social media to give reasons why Christians who watch Game of Thrones are going to Hell.
Read his reasons below;
“Dear Game of Thrones fans (who say they’re Christians), please forgive me in advance. I’m not a fan of GOT. Just watched a few episodes years ago. But I came across some statistics and facts that may interest you.
Interesting Stats:
❌865 deaths ❌17 rapes (including attempted ones) ❌144 scenes of naked people (with 83.7% being women)
Interesting Facts:
❌In 2016, HBO was in a legal battle with the porn website, PornHub, over the site’s use of sexually explicit clips from GAME OF THRONES, which HBO states breaches their copyright of the content.
❌According to data from PornHub, the site saw a 4% drop in traffic (that is, a drop of about 2.4 million viewers) during Game of Thrones’ season 6 premiere back in April. The site saw similar traffic dips over the next four weeks when new episodes aired, suggesting that people are, presumably, watching the show instead of porn.
❌There are a LOT of porn stars in Game Of Thrones. Jessica Jenson and Samantha Bentley, winner of the Adult Video News Award for Best Group Sex Scene, have both played prostitutes on the show. Australian amateur porn actress Aeryn Walker was also cast as one of Craster’s many wives. While Sibel Kekilli, who has played Shae also starred in adult films in the past.
Dear Christian and Game of Thrones fan, is this the kind of content you want to fill your mind with? What happened to Philippians 4:8? Is this the kind of things you want your daughter or son to engage in? Rape, murder, and immorality?
If you’re so attached to Game of Thrones that you’re getting angry with me, then who are you worshipping? GOD or GOT? One letter makes a big difference. And that one letter change can make a big difference when you stand before GOD on that day.”
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibadan Zonal Office, has secured the conviction of two internet fraudsters in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
The duo of Shonibare Kayode Hazzan and Adetayo Tade Ademuluyi were convicted and sentenced by Justice Ibrahim Waliat of the Federal High Court, Abeokuta after pleading guilty to the respective one-count amended charges preferred against them.
Shonibare bagged five months prison term, while Adetayo was slammed with nine months, both were found guilty of criminal impersonation for deploying false representation to dupe people on the internet.
The court had rejected the seven months prayer contained in Adetayo’s plea bargain agreement with the Commission. He was given nine months instead for allowing the court to go into full trail before coming to propose the plea bargain.
Shonibare’s sentencing of five months was in consonance with the plea bargain he had with the EFCC.
Unlike Shonibare, who was first arraigned on March 8, 2019, Adetayo has been standing trial since December 10, 2018.
The convictions will start from the respective days of convicts’ arrests.
Apart from serving them prison terms, Justice Waliat ordered the forfeiture of items found on the convicts when arrested, as well as ruled that they return sums of money in United State Dollars to their victims as restitution.
Shonibare was to refund $45 (Forty Five US Dollars) as against Adetayo’s $4,000 (Four Thousand US Dollars).

Zimbabwe’s former President Robert Mugabe is auctioning off five combine harvesters and other farm equipment.
An advert by a local auction firm announced plans to sell off at least 40 of his vehicles, including a luxury car and five Toyota Hilux pick-up trucks and according to media reports in ZImbabwe, the sale could be sign that his family’s business empire – including 21 farms – could be in financial trouble.
The advert by Ruby Auctions says the vehicles will be sold off in a public auction on the family’s Gushungo Dairy Farm on Saturday morning. The farm is on a sprawling estate which includes a mansion.
The Mugabe family took over the land when it was seized from its white owners under controversial land reforms. In 2015 Grace Mugabe forcefully evicted local villagers who had moved on to parts of the farm.
Zimbabwe’s Herald newspaper reported that it was not immediately clear why the family was auctioning the items but its business empire built up during Mr Mugabe’s 37 years in power, has been facing lawsuits over unpaid debts.
Horse trucks, tractors, motor cycles and disc harrows are listed to be sold. In April Mr Mugabe, 95, was in Singapore for medical treatment and was expected back home mid-May, AFP news agency quotes President Emmerson Mnangagwa as saying.

“Yaya is one of the best players in Africa and he had one of the brightest careers in the history of African football.
“We talked for a long time about this topic. Of course, every football player wants to play as long as possible. In terms of his physical condition, Yaya could do this at a sufficiently high level for another five years.
“But we came to the conclusion that he, the football player who played for Barcelona and Manchester City, could not lower the bar with his hands.
“We see many players who continue their careers at a sufficiently mature age, and this is commendable.
“But Yaya and I chose a different path: to leave as a champion and start a new stage in life – a career as a coach, in which, I am sure, Yaya will reach even greater heights than those he achieved as a football player.
“There are no African coaches in the English Premier League. I think.”
Touré who left Manchester City at the end of the 2017/18 season and became a free agent, joined Olympiacos in September 2018 for the second time in his career.
However, the former midfielder lasted just over three months at the Greek Superleague club before leaving by mutual agreement in December
Yaya Toure who started senior football career with Beveren in 2001, also played for Metalurh Donetsk, Olympiacos, Monaco, Barcelona and Manchester City.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has explained why it arrested popular singer Afeez Fashola aka Naira Marley this morning Friday, May 10th.
Confirming his arrest, the acting EFCC spokesperson, Tony Orilade, in an interview with Punch, said
“Yes, he is with us. He’s not the only person; he had some other persons also arrested alongside (him). They were arrested in relation to advance fee fraud — Internet-related cases and all of that. Give me a little time and I will get you the details.”
Naira Marley made news few weeks ago after he publicly endorsed Internet fraudsters also known as Yahoo Yahoo boys.
