Nigerians were taken aback when popular comedienne, Helen Paul, revealed that she was a product of rape while celebrating the doctorate degree she recently got from the University of Lagos.
In a recent chat with Sunday Scoop, the talk show host said she didn’t regret sharing the true story of her birth.
She stated,
“I chose the occasion to reveal the story of my birth because I dedicated the degree to my mother. There is time for everything and I felt it was time to tell the world. Apparently, it’s not even my story; it’s my mother’s.
I am humbled and grateful to God for seeing me through the programme. Everyone was happy for me in my family. Even when I finished secondary school, everyone was excited for me. We celebrate each other in my household.”
Helen said despite her father’s misconduct at the time, she had never held any grudge against him. She stated,
“I am on good terms with my father. Is there anyone who doesn’t have a cordial relationship with his or her father? That can only happen if you are a terrible child. Regardless of what your father might have done to you in the past, your father remains your father. If I said I was not affected by it while growing up, that wouldn’t be honest. It could affect anyone but I used my situation to my advantage. It inspired me to always do more and be the best, instead of being depressed.”

The Federal Government has once again clarified its stance on the removal of fuel subsidy, saying it had no plan to do so in the immediate future.
The Minister of Finance, Mrs Zainab Ahmed, said this on Sunday at the briefing by the Nigerian delegation on the outcome of their meetings with investors and institutions at the IMF/World Bank meetings in Washington DC.
Ahmed spoke in reaction to IMF’s advice to federal government to remove fuel subsidy, which might have led to panic buying in the country.
“There is no imminent plan to remove subsidy. IMF said that fuel subsidy is better removed so that we can use the resources for other important sectors.
“In principle, It’s a good suggestion, but in Nigeria we don’t have any plans to remove fuel subsidy at this time because we have not yet designed buffers that will enable us remove the subsidy and provide cushions for our people.
“So there is no plan to remove fuel subsidy.
“We will be working with various groups to find an alternative if we have to remove it. We are not yet at the point of removing fuel subsidy yet,” she said.
Ahmed described the outing in Washington DC as a successful one, which provided Nigeria with the opportunity to review developments in the global economy and proffer potential solutions.
She said that the general advice for Nigeria is to prioritise cost-effective policies that would increase resilience to shocks, boost productivity and raise incomes of the bottom 40 per cent of the population.
“In my capacity as representative of 23 African countries, I addressed the IMFC and issued a statement calling for normalisation of trade relations among the contending parties and called for concerted efforts to supporting multilaterism and avoid protectionist sentiments.
“At the G-24 meeting, I drew the attention of the World Bank to some of the challenges we face in implementing our portfolio like the implementation of the new environmental and social safeguards framework which tends to slow down implementation of our infrastructure projects.
“My engagement at the IMFC also focused on the global policy agenda.
“Governors underscored the importance of strengthening market competition, encouraging innovation, tackling weak governance and corruption and meeting the SDGs.
“Governors underlined the importance of strengthening international coordination and cooperation to tackle shared challenges, given the potentially damaging effects of trade tensions on global economic developments, and impact of natural disasters on developing countries,” she said.

Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram are down worldwide.
Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp are all experiencing issues this morning for users worldwide. Facebook and Instagram are both inaccessible, with news feeds refusing to refresh and the main Facebook.com domain unavailable. WhatsApp messages aren’t being sent or received, and users of Facebook’s main services have headed to Twitter to share that they’re having issues.
The outages appear to have started at around 11:30AM this morning, and come just a month after Facebook experienced its worst outage ever. Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram were all inaccessible for hours last month, and it wasn’t until over 24 hours later that Facebook finally gave the all clear. Facebook blamed a “server configuration change,” and apologized for the outages.

On Saturday, April 13, 2019, reports claiming Don Jazzy is not ready for marriage made rounds and now, the Mavin CEO has insinuated in a set of tweets that the interview may have misrepresented his thoughts.
Don Jazzy had told Punch Newspaper in an interview that, “I want to work on myself until I am ready. By the time I am ready, if someone still wants to be with me, that would be great. It is not like I am looking for a wife and cannot find one. There are lots of nice and beautiful ladies out there. I don’t think I am there yet. I am not in a hurry”
When the interview became viral with a twist to his words, the producer then tweeted:
“People will come and interview you. you will tell them about how you went to the moon and back. how u invented the best thing since slice bread etc. they will still go and use headline like “donjazzy will never marry”. making it feel like thats why we are here. i hail o.”
Nollywood actress, Nazareth Jesse, has revealed the kind of man she wants to spend the rest of her life with.
According to Pearlsnews, the Economics graduate from University of Abuja said, “there’s nothing like having a rich husband that gives you peace, love and support.
In her words ;
“It takes the fear of God in a man to have those combined features towards his wife. I want a man with vision, a kind hearted person, a man that is literate. A man with prospects and God Fearing. He should be ready to make me his life partner and not just a baby factory.
His looks and pocket size is also very important. He must be financially balanced and handsome. Any man that wants to marry me should be ready to take over all my responsibilities as his wife.
I’m not saying my man must be a billionaire but if a billionaire comes my way to God be the Glory it’s also answered prayer.
As an addition, he must be romantic and sexy too, this one that somany Nigeria women are complaining about their husbands not been romantic, mine must be romantic please because I hate adultery.”
On the pressure to get married, she said ;
” I had to make my father understand that I can’t force myself on a man or settle with just anyone that comes asking for my hand in marriage. Now he has seen somany women rushing in and out of marriage, he has resorted to praying for me to settle down with a better person.
For now, I’m not in any relationship. The one I had is not serious, it has ended. So, I’m very single and ready to mingle, I can’t keep fooling myself over a distance relationship that has not been there for me.”

The groom was not looking dapper in a bespoke suit neither was the bride looking like a princess in a white gown, a rather ‘casual’ couple walked into a courtroom to make their marriage official in gym clothes.
Yup! and they seem to be less bothered about their appearance as they happily signed court documents to legally bind their union.
As can be seen in photos, not more than 15 friends and family members were present and it possibly was in a bid to cut down cost.

A man dubbed as a ‘mercenary’ has been nabbed in Sokoto state while writing JAMB for more than one candidate.
Img Crd: Premium Times
According to a Premium Times reports, a man described as a professional examination mercenary, who allegedly specializes in writing JAMB tests for multiple candidates, has been arrested in Sokoto State.
Officials of the Joint Examination Matriculation Board (JAMB) told Premium Times that Umar Sani was arrested at about 8: 00am Saturday as he made to access a centre at the Umaru Ali Shinkafi Polytechnic to sit the examination for another of his clients.
Mr Sani was identified and arrested by a JAMB monitoring team, led by Registrar Ishaq Oloyede, which has been visiting centres across the country to oversee the conduct of the ongoing 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The suspect was immediately handed over to a police team from the Federal Intelligence and Investigation Bureau, officials said. Before he was caught Saturday morning, Mr Sani had in the past days sat for the examination for candidates Umar Abdullahi, Danladi Lawal, and Danlami Suleiman Abdullahi.
JAMB uses biometric to check candidates into its Computer-Based Test Centres but Mr Sani found a way to circumvent the arrangement, officials said,
“When his clients registered for the examination, he donated some of his fingers to them when their biometric was taken,” Ahmad Mohammed, a JAMB official, who witnessed the arrest, said. “He then used those fingers to beat our biometric system.”
JAMB Registrar, Mr Oloyede, confirmed Mr Sani’s arrest, saying his agency remained committed to eradicating malpractices from the matriculation examination. “He (Mr Sani) will surely be prosecuted,” Mr Oloyede said. “That I can assure you.”
The Sokoto arrest came two days after man who claimed to be a professor, Jide Jisus, was caught for alleged examination malpractice as the UTME began across Nigeria. According to a statement by the spokesperson of JAMB, Fabian Benjamin, Mr Jisus was apprehended by the monitoring team of the registrar of JAMB in an examination hall at Brix Academy, Jabi, Abuja.
“His identity was shrouded in dubious tales. He claimed during interrogation that he was one of the professors selected by the Board to oversee the conduct of the 2019 UTME,” Mr Benjamin said in the statement.
“He also claimed that he was awarded a professorial position by Christian University, Isolo, Lagos and that he had two professorial awards from “Becket” University England and Freedom University.“He similarly claimed to be a staff of Anchor Polytechnic, Kubwa, Abuja, an institution that does not exist.
According to him, he said he is the president of the United Nigeria Chaplin Institute of Peace Academy.“However, it was discovered that he had a daughter who was taking the 2019 UTME in the same centre where he was caught.”
The Board’s operational guideline does not allow unauthorised persons into the examination hall. “The Professor was, therefore, not one of those selected by the Board to monitor the conduct of the 2019 UTME,” the statement said. The 2019 UTME began on Thursday, April 11 and will end on April 17.

Infamous cleric, Bishop Daniel Obinim has once again made a statement that has stirred controversy among his followers and critics alike.
The founder and leader of International God’s Way Church, says he has performed lots of angelic and spiritual things that are mind bubbling that beats what Jesus Christ and all the prophets did in the Bible.
Bishop Obinim who was giving a sermon at the Tema branch of his church revealed that Jesus Christ only transformed himself three times and He(Jesus) said his followers will do more than he did because his life was short lived on Earth.
The controversial man of God emphasized that no Prophet in the Bible has done miraculous things that he has been able to do because they all had different directions or path.
In his words ;
“Jesus said ‘the Miracles am performing, the wonders and the signs; Those who believe in me, you can perform more than that’.Jesus was making reference to this that he didn’t have enough time so he curtailed his time. He worked for about 3 and a half years then he left but those of us now we have more time. I Angel Obinim, I have worked for so many years more than that of my father and the miracles, the angelic performances, the wonders and signs that I have performed; they are countless because I have enough time.”

A United States Based Nigerian Man, Emma Madu, has advised Nigerians living in Nigeria to leave the country and come over to the US if they get any opportunity.
Emma Madu recounted how his life has transformed since he moved from Nigeria to the US where he is currently a citizen.
Read the post he shared on his Facebook ;
After running around looking for gas to power our factory generator in Onitsha, I did not even think twice when I got the chance to go to America. It is still the best decision of my life.
I got a job, went back to school while working. Became a U S citizen, brought my brother to America, and built a house in Nigeria. Then went back to Nigeria to get married. Brought my wife to America and got her a green card. Now with 3 kids and 15 years in America last month, I can tell you sincerely, if you get the chance to move, move.
I was a nobody in Nigeria then, but today, my membership card of Knight Of Columbus is enough to get me inside the Vatican without a ticket. Just my ID. I cannot count how many times I have seen Nigerians being searched like criminals in many airports while I simply stroll by with the shout of “welcome Sir” from the same airport officials just because of my US passport. And then you almost bust into tears knowing that the only difference between you and those your brothers is the passport. The same people you were chatting with inside the plane until it is time to show our passports. Then you get a welcome sir while your brothers get a path down.
So if you are doing well in Nigeria fine, but if you have the chance to move, move.
