A Nigerian man identified as, Afolabi Ojo (a.k.a. Kemisola) has been jailed for setting up and running a fraudulent business page on Instagram.
Mr. Afolabi Ojo was falsely representing himself on a Instagram page “Beat Classic Store” as a shoe and bag seller.
He had initially pleaded “not guilty” but later changed his plea to “guilty” on the amended one-count charge.
Justice Maureen Onyetenu of the Federal High Court sitting in Osogbo, Osun State, thereafter convicted him and sentenced him to six months in prison from the date of conviction having opted for a plea bargain.
Afolabi Ojo had also undertaken to restitute the total sum of N45,000 falsely obtained from his victim.
The journey to the prison began for Afolabi, following a petition sometimes in June 2017, alleging that he engaged in internet fraud.

World’s richest man Jeff Bezos and his mistress Lauren Sanchez are reportedly planning to move in together in the midst of their divorces.
Earlier this month, the Amazon billionaire announced that he and his wife, MacKenzie, are heading for a divorce after 25-years of marriage, which many believe was because of his illicit affair was Lauren Sanchez, who is also in the middle of divorcing her estranged husband, talent mogul Patrick Whitesell. The estranged pairs were super close for a decade.
People is reporting that Jeff Bezos and his mistress Lauren Sanchez who are in constant contact are planning on moving in together.
A source close to the couple told People that despite the ongoing media storm surrounding their romance and even though both are still legally married, they are ‘very much together’.
‘They are very much together, and are planning to move in together,’ the unnamed source said.
It is unclear if they will live in one of the many properties they own between them in Seattle, California, Washington DC, New York City or Texas, or if they will opt for a new love nest.
The pair have been in ‘constant contact’ since their affair was exposed earlier this month, the source added.
Jeff’s divorce with his estranged wife MacKenzie will cost him half of his fortune with $138billion on the line. Their earnings and income during the marriage will be split 50/50.
Here are five female celebrities who don’t have to work a day because they have really rich hubbies.
1. Dakore Egbuson Akande
Dakore Egbuson Akande needs no introduction as she’s one of the biggest names in the entertainment industry, Nollywood to be precise. Dakore’s acting career has been one which we’ve all watched blossom over the years. One can’t mention Dakore’s name without mentioning how pretty she is and how her beauty attracts fans and admirers.
In 2011, Dakore Egbuson Akande got married to Olumide Akande in a very beautiful wedding ceremony. Just in case you don’t know who Olumide Akande is, he is the first son of Nigeria’s former richest man, Chief Harry Akande. They have remained one of the richest families in the country with investments in different sectors of the economy. Every time we’ve seen a photo of Dakore and Olumide we are always in awe the way they look beautiful together.
2. Caroline Danjuma
Ever watched a movie where Caroline Danjuma starred in and wondered back then if she truly is a Nigerian or some Spanish actress who decided to give Nollywood a try? This just goes to show how thrilled and amazed a lot of people were of her beauty. She is one of those actors who gave their best when it came to acting until she got hitched and went ‘missing in action’ from the tv scenes after getting married.
Caroline Danjuma got hitched to business magnate, Musa Danjuma in 2007. Musa Danjuma is the younger brother of Gen. Theophilus Danjuma and has a vast interest in a number of businesses including shipping and paint industries. The marriage between these two, however, didn’t last as they pathed ways years after the union which was marred with controversies. However, the marriage produced three beautiful children.
3. Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde
Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde is probably the oldest age-wise and in terms of marriage on this list. She is not just one of the biggest stars to come out of this country but also has become a role model to a lot of people, even to some of her colleagues in the industry. We can’t forget how she got married to her husband at a very very young age.
Captain Mathew Ekiende got married to Omotola when she was still a teenager and more amazing is that their wedding took place on bound, a flight from Lagos-Benin back in 2001. We all know how rich pilots from any part of the world are, and Omotola’s husband isn’t exempted in this list. He has had a very successful career spanning over two decades which has seen him fly commercially for different airlines across the country (Big bucks!). 4. Zainab Balogun
She is pretty, eloquent, gradually becoming a scene diva and she is not even slowing down anytime soon. Zainab Balogun is one of the new crops of celebrities who will be here for a long time to come. Starting off as a model to featuring as a video vixen in Naeto C’s hit song years ago and later becoming one of the most admired tv personalities, Zainab has indeed achieved a lot in just a few years.
When celebrities decide to get in a relationship, the buzz is usually mad but Zainab kept her’s under the radar from the prying eyes of the media. So when she decided to get married to Dikko Nwachukwu, not many saw it coming. However, she had a very beautiful wedding which was attended by who is who in the entertainment industry. Dikko Nwachukwu is an entrepreneur who has a major interest in the aviation sector. The guy is so bucked up, he has a license to run his own airline. He was previously married (Lost his first wife to cancer) but didn’t stop him from finding love again.
5. Mary Remmy Njoku
If you say Mary Remmy Njoku is one of the veterans in Nollywood, then you are absolutely right. She has been in the industry since the early 2000s even though she wasn’t seen as an A-lister. Mary Njoku remained steadfast and committed to the dream of a flourishing career in Nollywood which has indeed proved to everyone. A lot of people might not be aware but she is the wife of the owner of the popular movie app, ‘Iroko TV,’ and the series of TV stations, Jason Njoku.
Jason Njoku is a known name in the tech world as one of the biggest innovators of a dream not many envisaged would have come to reality. He is worth millions of dollars and his investment has even spread into production as his wife and himself run one too. This couple is unarguably one of the richest young people in entertainment.

There has been growing concern over the whereabouts of Nigeria’s First Lady, Mrs. Aisha Buhari as she has not been campaigning along with President Muhammadu in his re-election bid.
TheCable understands that she is currently in Germany for medical reasons, although her office has refused to confirm or deny the speculation.
When contacted, Suleiman Haruna, media aide to the president’s wife, said he did not have any comments.
“Honestly, honestly, I don’t have any comment on that. People have been calling me. I don’t have any comment on that,” Haruna said.
Speaking with TheCable on Wednesday, a presidency source explained that the president’s wife has not been seen campaigning for her husband “because she is ill”.
“For about two weeks now, you will observe that the president’s wife has not been campaigning. She is ill and she has travelled abroad for treatment,” the source said.
President Muhammadu Buhari has stated that the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, created a problem for him in the South-East zone of the country.
During his presidential campaign in Enugu, Buhari disclosed that Amaechi promised the people of South-East that his administration will construct a railway linking their region to the Northern part of the country.
According to Buhari, fulfilling the promise made by Amaechi would be difficult because the minister didn’t submit any proposal of such to the Federal Executive Council. He, however, assured that people that he would convince the Federal Executive Council members for the project to be approved.
He said: “Amaechi has made you people a promise and I don’t know how to fulfil it. But I can see how I will fulfil it by getting the Federal Executive Council members to approve it.”
Buhari also urged the people of the zone to continue to have faith in Nigeria and thanked them for coming out to welcome him as he campaigned in the region.
He said: “We all must join hands to build a stronger country as we do not have any other country.”
The president added that his administration is focused on doing the things needed for progress in the country.
“if we get the roads done, get the rail lines done, and get other infrastructure done, we will be making progress,” he said.
An infamous thief has been apprehended after stealing in the eastern part of Nigeria.
It was gathered that the suspect was traced to his home after a theft where shocking items were found in his possession during a search and Panties, bras, cream, ear rings, soap, cash among other items were recovered from his house.
When quizzed by those who nabbed him why he stole the panties and bras in particular, the suspect said he doesn’t know why he stole them.
He said he went to a house to steal only money but didn’t know the spirit that entered into him which made him to steal the underwear.
The serial thief said the panties and bras are of no use to him but decided to keep them in his house.
Actress Omoni Oboli has issued an advice to an online beggar who crept into her page to beg for money so she could feed.
The online beggar wrote:
“Please can someone help me with just 1k. I’m hungry. I just want to eat. Thank you and may God bless you.”
Omoni Oboli responded as seen in the screenshot below.
The above response not being enough, Omoni Oboli took a screenshot of the lady’s message and posted it on her page with the below caption.
“These are the issues… I have never responded to begging comments ever because I know first hand that we’ve all needed a little assistance and maybe even still do so we have to ask but… You are asking for assistance for what exactly? What is the end game? Is it to start a business that will eventually give you some financial freedom? If so, fantastic! I applaud you!
When it becomes a lifestyle is when it gets worrisome. How do you for months or years drop the same comment on hundreds or thousands of posts? It reminds me of those days nicely dressed guys would come to you outside business places and say they lost their wallet and they just needed transport fare. You will then know you’ve been had, when the same guy meets you the following week with the exact same story. It’s now online.
We all know country hard. Leave o, it’s really hard for many people and we try in our small capacity to help as many people as we can…But if you are an able bodied young person, think of what you can do and then you can beg for the money to do it. I know free money is sweet. Believe me, as hard as I work for my money, the kind of dance I dance when I get free money nor be here but…there’s dignity in making your own money. Dignity in doing something that will not only give you money but bring satisfaction and fulfillment.
My darling young lady deleted her comment after my response to her. Luckily I had screenshot it. I had thought she would come to my DM asking for assistance to start something but she deleted her comment. What does that tell you? Please my fellow hustlers, nobody owes anybody anything! Stand up and do something! God bless our hustle.”
Operatives of the Nigerian Customs Service in Niger State has impounded a trailer carrying tramadol and other substances suspected to be illicit drugs worth about forty-four million naira (N44,000,000).
The trailer carrying the items was intercepted by the service’ special strike force along minna-suleja-minna road.
They were concealed under sacks and other items.
Briefing journalists on the seizure and other seizures made, at the Nigerian customs service command headquarters in Minna, the national coordinator of the strike force, Deputy Comptroller of Customs, Abdullahi Kirawa said but for the eagle eye of men and officers in his team, the items would have made their way into the society, pointing out what dangers they could pose to the society.
He said one person has been arrested in connection to the items and that investigation is still ongoing to unravel other culprits.
Mr Kirawa called on members of the public to cooperate with the Nigerian customs service and to be vigilant to report any smuggling activities around them.
The Customs Service strike force coordinator also took members of the press around the warehouse of the showcase other items seized by the team, which include seven hundred and thirty-three bags of foreign rice, eighteen bales of used clothing, vehicles and used tires illegally being smuggled into the country through various routes.
The growing use of the internet and the use of smartphones has played a great role in increased interest in Naija entertainment gist. Social media campaigns have also boosted the Nigerian entertainment. The musicians have seen an increase in digital sales of their music, online streaming, and increased downloads. Other trends include the increased demand for the Nigerian films from within and outside the country. Despite other challenges such as piracy and poor distribution channels, the Nigerian entertainment industry has remained a goldmine. Here are the various things which took place in the Nigerian entertainment industry.
The Growth of the Industry
The media and entertainment industry witnessed a large growth of about 25percent. This amounted to about $4 billion. Increased internet access is attributed to be one of the factors for the growth of the industry with the $600 million out of the $770 million attributed to it. Nollywood is also the third largest player in the film industry and 90% of its growth is attributed to the increased internet access.
Growth of Music
Due to the increased consumption of music by the Nigerians on the mobile devices as compared to television, the music industry also reported a big boom. The musicians also made revenue from a number of performances within and outside Nigeria, ring back tones, music streaming and music licensing. Some of the Nigerian artists also had a series of collaborations with international artists which increased their exposure and hence increasing their revenue.
Regulation by Federal Government
After coming into power, the Muhammadu Buhari administration came up with a number of regulations in the creative industry to create a structure which would allow for the growth of a vibrant entertainment industry. Some of them include the dividends which were given to finance the industry however still there are no signs of the dividends in the industry.
In a meeting with the Motion Pictures Practitioners Association, the President said that he had instructed the Bank of Industry to provide capital to the entertainment industry as part of uplifting the efforts made by the industry.
The practitioners have embraced private investment and relied on the use of social media as a way of increasing their coverage.
Lose of Naija Top Talents
As it happens each year, Nigeria also lost a number of stars in the entertainment industry to the brutal hand of death in 2018. They include Chike Osuji, Nelson Oluchukwu, Ikenga Gblie among others. Popular singer Ras Kimono also passed away.
Piracy
Piracy has still remained one of the big issues in the entertainment industry even though the Nigerian Copyright Act of 2004 was put in place to protect intellectual property. Most of the stakeholders have attributed to the increased copyright infringement to the poor enactment of laws, corruption and the inability of the courts to prosecute the offenders. Piracy hit harder in 2018 and most of the stakeholders called for the need to collaborate to end the issue.
Despite the challenges which the Naija entertainment gist faces, the industry is growing at a faster rate. In 2019, there are a number of expectations on the growth of the industry. Besides, increased collaboration between the stakeholders and the government will lead to a decrease in the number of issues affecting the industry.

A man has narrated how his sister died after being allegedly poisoned for marrying against family wish.
The lady reportedly got married to the man, despite being hated so much by the husband’s family members.
It was revealed that all that was done to prevent the couple from getting married, didn’t work as they tied the knot few years later after she conceived for him.
Read the full story below :
Anambra people have this hatred for Imo women. Sometime I read a heartbreaking story concerning a marriage between an Anambra man and Imo girl,marriage only lasted for two months which the ended up throwing her properties out for her because the man’s family never liked the girl.now this.
You can only see peace in a marriage between an IMO state man and Anambra lady not the other way round. Please ladies give me your attention.
Any relationship that your boyfriend’s/fiancé parents doesn’t approve of and you’ve done your best to make them love you yet they refuse. Sweetheart, please in the name of God Almighty,run for your dear life. Your life is worth more than that. Take a very good look at these pictures here, that was my sister though she’s gone(Dead).
Well, some years back my big sis met this guy and they fell in love,they dated for over 7 solid years,but his parents were against their Union. The mother,father and his elder sister in particular hated her with passion. Despite the fact that she loves, respects and showers them with gifts.
His father’s reason (according to his son) was that, he can’t marry an Imo lady an educated one at that. His mother’s reason was that she wanted a very light skinned lady for her son. While his sister’s reason was that she was too pretty to make a good wife for her brother (stating that pretty ladies cheat).
We tried all we could to separate them including involving the police, but all to no avail, he vowed that he’d rather die than break up with her and so did my sister. Meanwhile, while they were still dating, sometimes his parents come to my sister’s abode and beat her up warning her to stay away from their son. And she kept it all away from us(Her family).
Along the line she took in and had a son for him. Yet his parents vowed and said over their dead bodies would they ever consent to their union. Five years later,his family finally came to us pleading and saying that they have agreed that their son should finally tie the nut with my sister. But I refused,likewise my mom and my siblings.
The traditional marriage was held on the 20th Feb 2012 in my hometown. She followed her in-laws home that same day(As tradition demands). About a week with them in their home in Oba Anambra state,they brought her home very sick.
A week later she passed on in Usman Danfodio Teaching Hospital Sokoto state(UDUTH). After the doctors discovered she had food poisoning which was meant to kill her slowly. She died right in my arms in the hospital,after vomiting so much blood.
About three years later,his parents got him another woman from their home town who unfortunately has now become a torn in their flesh. And also maltreats my little nephew so much that it always makes me cry. Not only that, She also engages her so called in-laws in physical combat,and recently her father in-law passed on mysteriously.
So my dear,there’s more to marriage than just you and your spouse. The both families have to appreciate,love and give their consent otherwise you might not find peace in that home, that’s if you don’t end up loosing your precious life along the line. Like my sis.
Nobody is worth dying for all in the name of love. Cus the moment you’re gone they’ll move on with their lives. Be wise my sister.
Now my sister & bestie is gone to return no more all in the name of Love.

A man has sued Bugema University, Luweero District, Kampala, for banning all female students from wearing dresses above the knee, jewelry, lipstick, sleeveless and open tops, coloured nails, trouser, within the school premises.
In the suit before the High Court, the petitioner, Mr Ronald Bwire, claims that on December 12, 2018, the University issued a notice banning female students from wearing miniskirts, ear rings, necklaces, bangles, sleeveless and open tops, coloured nails, lipsticks, trousers and dresses that stop above the knee.
Bugema University announced the ban in a notice dated December 12, 2018.
“No student should come back with the above mentioned next semester. Culprits will face university disciplinary committee for serious action,” the notice warns.
Mr Bwire says the ban is a violation of female students’ right to equality, dignity, freedom of expression, conscience and culture.
“The impugned notice is threat not only to constitutionalism and rule of law but also to Uganda’s efforts to respect, promote and uphold rights and status of women,” the suit reads in part.
Mr Bwire contends that besides causing distress, physiological torture and inconvenience, the University’s directive has lowered the dignity and status of women generally.
Through his lawyers Mayende & Associated Advocates, Mr Bwire wants court to order the lifting of the ban and compensation with costs of the suit

“I am a Christian from Edo state and the father Musa was a Muslim—this is why I am bearing Moses. The father was a kind and caring man; a very generous man who took care of all his wives before he died. I am happy today to see my last born being celebrated by the small and mighty.

Super Eagles captain, John Mikel Obi, 31, has signed for Championship club Middlesbrough on a short term deal until the end of the season.
The former Chelsea midfielder who became a free agent in November after a two-year spell with Tianjin Teda in China passed his medical with Tony Pulis’ side without a hitch after agreeing on personal terms.
Mikel who won both the Champions League and Europa League with Chelsea told the club’s website: ‘For me, it’s looking at the project.
‘I spoke to a few clubs and I also spoke to Tony [Pulis], had a good chat with him. ‘He’s told me where he wants to go with it and it definitely fits with what I want to do.
‘The club wants to get promoted so hopefully, I’m here to help in any way I can. ‘It’s a family club and this is what I want. I like stability and this is why I was at Chelsea for a very long time.’
Pulis added: ‘I’m pleased to get him in. He is a man with a lot of experience and quality.
‘He has a winning mentality and he wants to be here be a part of what we are looking to achieve.’
