The Nigeria Police Force has filed a charge against embattled Senator Dino Melaye, for alleged illegal weapons possession.
In the charge filed before the Federal High Court in Abuja, the police said a pump-action gun was recovered from Melaye’s Kogi house during a raid in his house in July last year.
The charge sheet marked, FHC/ABJ/CR/07/2019 reads
“That you, Dino Melaye, representing Kogi West district in the 8th National Assembly, on or about the 20th day of July 2018, at about 12.30 hours under the jurisdiction of this honourable court, unlawfully had in your possession one automatic pump-action shotgun and 20 cartridges, which were recovered at your residence located in the Ayetoro Gbede area of Kogi State, when a search warrant was executed on the directives of the Nigeria Police Force at your above mentioned residence under your control and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 27(1)(a)(i) of the Firearms Act Cap F28 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004.”
Eight persons including six policemen and two men who were painting Melaye’s house when the policemen came to search the property, have been listed as witnesses against Melaye.
The Niger State Police Command, on Sunday, arrested a 39-year-old man, Farida Banti, of Hungu village in theMariga Local Government Area of the state, for alleged murder.
The suspect was said to have killed his wife, Hajo, also known as Maijari, with a cutlass over their frequent misunderstanding.
Northern City News gathered that the suspect had earlier sent his wife to her parent’s house “to learn manners.”
After some time, it was learnt that the suspect demanded that Hajo should return to his home, but she allegedly refused to return.
The suspect said that he killed his wife with a cutlass over what he described as “incessant misunderstanding.”
He said, “I inflicted deep cuts on my wife, which resulted in her death, because she refused to obey me.“In fact, it was extreme provocation that made me kill my wife.”
Asked whether he regretted his action, Banti said he felt bad for killing his wife but insisted that
“women must learn to obey their husbands so that what happened to my wife will not happen to them.”
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Muhammad Abubakar, confirmed the incident, saying the suspect had confessed to the crime.
Abubakar said the matter would be charged to court as soon as investigations into the case were completed.
The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) says its presidential candidate, President Buhari, may choose not to attend the 2019 presidential debate slated for Saturday January 19th if he feels there are other viable options with which he can speak to Nigerians.
The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Lanre Issa-Onilu, said this in an interview with Daily Independent. He said the APC will look at several options through which President Buhari will engage Nigerians, adding that there is no big deal if it believes debate is not one of such means.
“What is special about presidential debate? Presidential debate is one of the several platforms for presidential candidates to engage with the public. As a party, we will look at all the options and pick the ones that we can accommodate and those that will be impactful and effective in achieving our goals. We will be the ones to determine that. If presidential debate happens to be one of that, fine.
“If it wasn’t, then it is no big deal. There is nothing special about any debate. It is just one of the several platforms to engage the electorate” he said.
Meanwhile, The apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has charged President Muhammadu Buhari to attend the upcoming presidential debate.
Speaking with DAILY POST, Chuks Ibegbu, the Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the organisation, said Buhari must not send a proxy to the debate.
He stated this while reacting to the decision of Buhari to handover his reelection campaign to a national leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu.
Buhari had disclosed his decision while inaugurating the APC Presidential Council, at the International Conference Centre, ICC, in Abuja, last week Monday.
Also, the National Publicity Secretary of APC, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu, had disclosed that Buhari may not attend the debate if he feels there are other viable options with which he can engage Nigerians.
However, Ibegbu stressed that Buhari must appear in person and not Tinubu because he, the president, needs to tell Nigerians what he has done since assuming office.
According to Ibegbu: “We can’t preempt anything because we are not part of Buhari’s programme but he has a moral duty to talk to his people on why he wants to rule for another four years.
“He has to come and talk to Nigerians on what he has done in the past four years and what he intends to do in the next four years, he can’t do it by proxy.
“If he doesn’t talk to Nigerians then he has no moral right to lead us. Tinubu or no Tinubu he must tell Nigerians in person what he has done in the last three and half years and it must not be by proxy.”
A Facebook user is quite excited after he was suspended from his secondary school last week.
Apparently, He was suspended alongside some of his friends, and they decided to take a selfie together for social media.
Here’s what he wrote while sharing the picture; “GOING on a suspension diet SS3 connect. Aje womoo king of boiz. Amala co ordinator. Omostate God of war. Shadow God of battle. On a low key”

Nigerian photographer and actor, Toni Tones reacts to an Instagram post by Skuki in which he stated that ‘any woman who calls herself king is a weak woman’, told him to stop policing women.
Skuki who disclosed that he gets surprised when women try to act like men just to show strength, had written;
It baffles me when some women try to act like men, just to show strength! #deadmove . Only weak women abandon their GOD-GIVEN FEMININE POWERS and try to be WHO THEY’RE NOT! . Think about it- Apart from physical strength, how much stronger than a woman is a man? . NOTE: Humans are both PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL. Men are stronger on the physical end, while women are stronger on the spiritual end. . Do you know why a man can have an orgasm in a minute?- It’s because his libido is tuned to the physical side of sex . Whether his mind is fully there or not, he would thrust-thrust and ejaculate . But a WOMAN who is MORE OF A SPIRITUAL BEING, has a libido that is more in tune with her spirit-side. . She needs to have her mind and thoughts in one place, before she gets a FULFILLING orgasm. . NOW LISTEN- Science proves that a woman’s orgasm is 9 times more intense than a man’s own. That right there, is SPIRITUAL ACCESS TO SEXUAL PLEASURE – Men don’t have that! . And so it goes in all other aspects of life! MEN ARRIVE FIRST, BUT WOMEN ARRIVE BETTER! . Even with SPERMS- which are the seeds of life! The male-sperm is faster, but the female-sperm is stronger. . DO YOU GET IT NOW??? Where a man’s strength stops, a woman’s own begins… . Therefore the women who try to imitate men are on a lost course… and apparently there are a lot of them in this generation!
However reacting to this, Toni Tones who advised Skuki to channel same energy to men who need more policing, added that someone calling themselves “King” does not make them weak. According to her, Skuki shouldn’t be bothered with what anybody chooses to call themselves. She wrote;
However the singer who dropped a rejoinder after the backlash he got, wrote;
Replying to my last post about ‘WOMEN WHO CALL THEMSELVES KINGS’ some people commented: . COMMENT 1: If a woman has been through hell, and she feels she has completed a masculine feat, then she is free to call herself KING” . MY RESPONSE: The fact that you feel you must compare your STRENGTH to that of a man, before it can be SEEN as ‘strength’ shows your lack of faith in your feminine powers . With this contradicting-mentality, you BETRAY your gender, more than you stand for it. . COMMENT 2: Some men call themselves lions, just to show they are strong. So there’s nothing wrong with a woman calling herself KING, just to show she’s strong . MY RESPONSE: As a man it’s flattering that you compare yourself to us, just to feel strong. Thank you! . But I hope you know with your statement, you have totally de-valued the unique strength of QUEENS . I don’t know who did this to you, but this way-of-thinking, oozes of inferiority complex. . When a man describes himself as a lion, he speaks STRICTLY in terms of physical strength, and in that case he AGREES that the lion is ONLY physically-stronger. . So are you saying you agree that men are more powerful than women? . What are you representing exactly? . You want EQUALITY OF THE SEXES to be a reality, yet you’re denouncing your reality as a woman, to fight for the reality-of-women ???????? . Maybe you don’t realize it, but YOU HAVE DECAMPED!… lol. You have simply joined the men, and now YOU’RE FIGHTING WOMANHOOD

Nigerian activist, Reno Omokri has advised Nigerians not to marry someone who you are in love with, rather marry someone you are in sync with.
Reno took believes sentimental erotic feeling which many call love, is not sufficient to sustain a relationship, so its better to be in sync with someone, because it creates an invisible strength that can’t be defeated.

Don’t marry someone you are IN LOVE with. Marry a person you are IN SYNC with. That sentimental erotic feeling which many call love, is not sufficient to sustain a relationship. But when you sync with someone, it creates an invisible strength that can’t be defeated #RenosNuggets

Egypt’s Al-Azhar university has confirmed the expulsion of a female student after she appeared in a video hugging a male colleague, accusing her of undermining the school’s reputation.
The video, which went viral earlier this month, showed a young man carrying a bouquet of flowers kneeling before a young woman and then hugging her in what appeared to be a proposal.
The video was not filmed at Al-Azhar, but at another establishment, Mansoura University in the country’s north. Nevertheless the disciplinary council of the Al-Azhar University campus in Mansoura on Saturday “decided to expel the young girl definitively”, university spokesman Ahmed Zarie told AFP.
Egypt's al-Azhar University just permanently expelled a student for giving her boyfriend a "hug" after he proposed to her. Yes, we are talking about the same country that has one of the worst records of sexual harassment. Deep societal hypocrisy + government's pathetic policies pic.twitter.com/jYZX6i58vF
He said the video had caused a “public outcry” and that the university’s decision to expel her was because she had presented a “bad image” of Al-Azhar University, which strictly segregates the genders. He said hugging between unmarried men and women violates “the values and principles of society”.
The expelled student, however, can appeal the expulsion decision, Zarie said. The young man who appeared in the video could also face sanctions, a spokesman for Mansoura University said, adding that the school’s disciplinary council will meet on Monday to decide his “punishment”.

An excited Eku shared photos from the wedding on Instagram and wrote :
”My Mother is a testament to the phrase that no one can define you. Not society, not your friends, not your siblings or even your parents. Our Creator is the only one that blesses our wishes, makes a road for us and lifts us when we think we have been forgotten.
My Mother and Father had a beautiful marriage yet they went their separate ways. My Mother was blessed to meet my late stepfather Uncle Peter Thomas, they were married 15 years until his death almost 10 years ago. I didn’t think it was possible to replace him as they were one.
However a few years ago, my Mother met Doctor Victor Izegbu, a man we all have fallen in love with. Today my heart is full of joy and as usual where my Mother is concerned admiration, because as per usual, her light is on, she has never let anyone dim that, and despite all odds, despite moments of near darkness, her light is shining brighter than ever!! I love you Mummy. Happy Married life to the newest couple in town, The Izegbu’s!! ♥?♥? “Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.” ~ Romans 13:8

Budding Nigerian Singer, King Bernard has taken to his Instagram page to narrate how he was scammed off 450K Naira by an Instagram beggar who claimed he was about to lose his University Admission.
King Bernard said though the beggar asked for the sum of forty-five thousand Naira only, he erroneously added another ‘zero’ which made it Four Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira and after it was sent the beggar blocked him on IG.
Sharing Screenshots from their conversation, he wrote;
This is so sad! honestly, a fan sent me DMs asking for help with some cash (u all know i often do giveaways on dis page, but asides that, i also get a lot of such DMs)
I decided to help him bcos he’s a student and his university admission was at risk.
but see what I got (swipe left to see conversations). He begged for me 45k, I mistakenly sent it with an extra zero, I sent N450k??♂ He blocked me afterwards.. like seriously! whatdf!?
some people will be like N450k seem like small money for an artiste.. but I’m not earning so much yet, like I’m not yet big like dem Starboy, Davido??♂ I’m just sure someone out here knows him and can help reach him. his IG is @jamesogar1 ?
If i even give dat extra 400k to other fans here like 10k each, that’s some smile on plenty faces 40 people, instead on just one selfish ingrate!?
i’ll really feel much better?
Nigerian gospel artiste, Queen Ure Okezie, has parted ways with her second husband, Pastor Silas Briyork Newman, Yes International Magazine reports.
Ure was initially married to singer turned pastor, Soul E, before they went their separate ways. She has now revealed that her second marriage crashed, less than a year after their wedding.
According to her:
“Most of you saw my wedding photos barely a year ago, I was happy, I thought that finally God had answered my prayers, a widowed pastor with 4 very young lovely kids, so Wifey and Mummy all at once. .
I packed all my load and relocated to Gwagwalada. We didn’t date, I took the chance based on recommendation as I was 45 going to 46. The guy showed me nwii as in.
If not that my father drummed it in my ear that I’m a Queen, I would have thought I was an outcaste, every month he would tell me to pack my things and go that I’m not submissive, that a good wife will submit all her money and her body.
I was submitting the body o but he wanted the thing everyday. I was not submitting the money but I was willingly and generously looking after everyone as he didn’t have any source of income. (The Church was new).
You’re wondering why I would marry a man with 4 children that doesn’t have shishi? The good values we were brought up with hasn’t left us, some of us still believe in love and small beginnings, I wasn’t desperate not at all.
Anyway onye awusa chirim onu n’ala and finally “broke the marriage” when I insisted I wouldn’t make him a director of my company nor a signatory to the account yet.
He may not be such a terrible man, just a man with a different view of marriage from mine. This was my 2nd marriage. I will now come and kill myself?
To say that I’m not heart broken I’ll be lying but to think that is the end of the world mbanu, for what? Instead of suicide, I’ll kukuma do wedding number 3.
I turned 47 last August …no child, no husband, doesn’t sound good but I’m alive and healthy, that’s a testimony. For the records I never cheated on him, never contemplated it.”

A whole Nsawam prisons officer and u post such trash, go ask ur mother how she smells during her menses. Foolish useless people we have in the country, yet u’ve been given a gun to protect and guard the prisons.
