There is an ongoing military coup in Gabon, as soldiers in the west African country who claimed they are out “to restore democracy”, took control of the national radio station in the early hours of Monday.
Juniors officers say they have seized power in oil-rich Gabon, where the ailing leader’s family has ruled for 50 years.

Tanks and armed vehicles can be seen on the streets of the capital Libreville.
In its statement on Monday, the military officers condemned President Ali Bongo who addressed his compatriots last Monday from Morocco for the first time since suffering a stroke in October. They described the message as “a pitiful sight” and a “relentless attempt to cling onto power.”
Ali Bongo succeeded his father Omar Bongo as president in 2009. He narrowly won re-election in 2016 in a poll marred by violence and accusations of fraud.
Mr Bongo, who has been out of the country for two months, reportedly suffered a stroke in October and received treatment in Morocco.
A guy has had to face the biggest embarrassment of his life after the moment that was supposed to be a quite memorable and romantic turned out to be a rather embarrassing and disappointment.
This turn of events was caused by the gentleman who was ready to spend the rest of his life with his partner and to prove this, he decided to propose to her and even show the world how serious he is by doing so in a public place but unfortunately for him, he forgot the ring he was going to use.
He had already bent the knee and was ready to pop the question when he discovered that he was without the ring he was going to place on the finger of his partner.
Putting his hands on his heads in dismay, the gentleman is seen begging the lady as onlookers ask her to say ‘yes’ while the photographer who was meant to capture the lovely moment continued with his job regardless of the situation on ground.
New reports confirm that English football star Wayne Rooney was arrested in December at Dulles Airport outside Washington, D.C. for public intoxication.
Rooney, who has played for U.S. soccer team D.C. United since last year, was booked into the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center on December 16 on a charge of public intoxication stemming from an arrest by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Police, the local sheriff’s office said.
The 33-year-old footballer was arrested at an international arrivals gate at Dulles after he triggered a door alarm but did not breach airport security, a Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority spokesman said in a statement.
He received a $25 fine, according to court documents. Rooney was released later the same day on a personal recognizance bond, said Kraig Troxell, a spokesman for the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office.
Pastor Oritsejafor, the former CAN President and Senior Pastor of Word of Life Bible Church, located in Warri, Nigeria, has been called out by social media users for allegedly asking members to pay $5,000 for a mantle, adding they won’t miss God if they pay.
A Nigerian pilot who called him out over the claims, accused him of being a quack who has turned Yahweh into a God that needs money.
He wrote;
Nigerian Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor was in Morris Cerullo’s church in America recently, looking for 90 people to give 5000USD each (450,000USD) for a mantle so they do not miss God. My question is, those that don’t have 5000USD to give, are they going to miss GOD? –
These charlatans have turned Yahweh into a God that needs money(mammon). Is it not written in 1 Peter 1:18 that we were redeemed without perishable things such as silver and gold but with the precious blood of Christ?? “For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect” –
Why then do people need to pay 5000USD so they don’t miss God???
I guess in America where poverty level is not has high as Nigeria and health care is top notch the only thing to sell to the gullible believers is Salvation. –
I don’t believe God has sent you to collect peoples money so they don’t miss HIM, and like you said in the earlier parts of this video you’re a crazy man Pastor Ayo.
He called himself crazy I only rephrased it in my previous post. Africans are crazy people indeed, to build the largest church auditorium in the poverty capital of the world. Crazy people when una go get sense??? JC
Daddy Freeze has reacted, “Dear Ayo, Did God tell you that he was hungry? If not, please stop making it look like the Lord of Heavens armies is broke or going through a recession! Which god are you trying to attract with money? The god of 2 Cor 4:4?”
A 16-year-old Nigerian porn star identified on social media as @16evie, has been dragged by Nigerians over her viral ’40K Premium’ invitation to porn lovers.
The teen porn star who invited porn subscribers to ‘watch her get naught and play with herself’ was dragged over her age and the ‘high fee’.
Hahaha. Lack of discipline causes most of this; and people giving birth indiscriminately without plans to properly train the kids. She obviously lacked proper upbringing.

Minister of Transport and Director General of the Buhari Campaign Organization, Rotimi Amaechi, has reacted to the viral audio records purportedly of him speaking ill about President Buhari and this administration.
Since last week, former media aide to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, has released two audio recordings alleging them to be the voice recording of Amaechi speaking bad of President Buhari.
In one of the audio recordings, the Minister was purportedly saying President Buhari does not listen to anyone. In the second audio, the Minister was purportedly saying this country is finished and going nowhere.
Reacting, Amaechi in a statement released by his media aide, Israel Ibeleme, says the audio recordings were doctored.
Listen to the alleged audio recordings, which is trending on twitter with the hashtag #AmaechiTapes
“These are not things you publish ooo. If you publish them, you will never sit with me any day. 3 years of Buhari oo, everybody is crying, crying…pressmen are crying, farmers are crying, workers are crying, politicians are crying, students are crying, 3 years oo#AmaechiTapespic.twitter.com/rmm6KPKVIj
Purported fake audio of Amaechi was Doctored.
Attention have been drawn to the purported fake audio which was doctored from an unknown journalist, recorded outside the minister’s office imitating the Minister’s speech sound. Which claimed that the Minister was speaking against the President and the Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
It is Important to let the general public know that we have worked with the Minister since February 2015 till date and that the minister has not in any way spoken against the president Muhammadu Buhari’s achievements.
The fake doctored audio, claiming that it emanated from the conversation which the minister had with his press corp.
They paid some group of boys to destroy the image of Director General of Muhammadu Buhari Campaign Organization, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi.
We want to put the public on the know, that the said doctored audio report is false.
A tall lady has opened up about her struggles to find love because of her height – the apparent reason for this is not many men are taller than her.
The 26-year-old Taekwondo star, Jade Slavin who stands at 6ft 4in has embraced her height after years of bullying.
Jade was offered a place to represent Team GB in taekwondo at the age of 21, and went on to win the Commonwealth Championships in Glasgow in 2014, and made two world championships and European championships.
It soon became clear to Jade that it was her height that contributed to her success in the sport, as she had the leg length that other athletes longed for.
She said,
“One of the main struggles I face is finding clothes to fit my extremely long legs. Not many shops offer tall sections and if they do there is not much choice.
“Another struggle is dating as I like boys to be the same height or taller than me and there aren’t many tall boys in my area.”
Jade has given her words of advice to others who might feel insecure about their height. She says,
“Don’t ever let anyone bring you down. I spent so much time hating myself and would cry to my mum wishing I was ‘normal’.
“But embrace being different. It has brought me so much success being tall which I would not have achieved if I was smaller.
“Embrace who you are and don’t let anybody dull your sparkle”

A young man was reportedly stabbed to death on Saturday, for pasting campaign posters in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The deceased who had a fight with one Henry Ekeozor around 8.20pm, was not a member of the All Progressives Congress, but was contracted to paste the campaign posters of Collyns Owondah, a House of Representatives candidate of the party in the area.
It was learnt that the fight ensued after Henry and his mother, Ifeoma Ekeozor, a woman leader of the APC in the area, expressed dissatisfaction over the pasting of campaign posters of the House of Representatives candidate on the wall of their residence.
The fierce argument degenerated into a fight and Punch reported that Dike who was stabbed in the chest, bled to death before he was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was confirmed dead by doctors.
“The woman (Ifeoma Ekeozor) is a woman leader in the APC, while the man, whose campaign posters were being posted, is also of the same political party, but they belong to different factions of the party.
“The young man pasting the campaign poster was Chimezie Dike from the Nwangele Local Government Area of Imo State. The boy came to the street to paste the posters of a politician running for an election.
“In the process, the son of the woman leader began to quarrel with him and within a short time, the son of the woman stabbed Chimezie. He (Chimezie) died before he got to the hospital” a source identified as Dengi said.
Another eyewitness said;
“The woman (Ifeoma Ekeozor) even broke a bottle during the argument. Everybody parked out of the house because a group of youths, who were not happy about the killing of the boy, went ahead to ransack people’s houses.
“A journalist staying in the building lost some of her property, including a laptop, after she left the place in a hurry to avoid being injured. The house is a three-storey building and the shop operated by the woman (Ifeoma) is on the ground floor.
“The young man pasting the poster, the woman and her son are all APC supporters, but they belong to different factions. He (Chimezie) was rushed to the hospital that night, while the mother of the attacker was arrested the same day by policemen from the Azikiwe Police Station.”
A 27-year-old Nigerian national who used to supply cocaine in Gurgaon, Noida and Delhi-NCR has been arrested by the south district police.
The police have seized 37.5-gram cocaine worth of Rs 20 lakh from the possession of the accused identified as Joseph Uzoma.
Uzoma was staying at Hauz Rani near Malviya Nagar in a rented house.
“Last Sunday, we had received a tip-off that drug trafficker Joseph would come in a private taxi to supply cocaine near Hauz Rani bus stop. A police team under the supervision of ACP Udaibir Singh and others was constituted to lay a trap at the bus stop. Following his arrival, he was arrested with 38 gram of fine quality cocaine valued at Rs 20 lakh in the international market,” said Vijay Kumar, DCPolice (South).
During interrogation, Uzoma disclosed that he had procured the contraband from a supplier in Noida. He also revealed that he used to hire a taxi driver to sell the cocaine in Delhi and NCR.
Uzoma had come to India on a student visa but indulged himself in illegal activities and finally started supplying cocaine. He was also found involved in the same nature of crime earlier.

Two women due to get married say their 37-year age gap doesn’t bother them as they plan their wedding together.
YouTube star Julia Zelg, 24, proposed to her girlfriend, 61-year-old Eileen de Freest, just before Christmas.
Julia, originally from Brazil, first revealed she had a new girlfriend to her fans back in September, after the couple met on Tinder.
Gushing about her new girlfriend, Julia told fans: “I’ve met this woman and she’s the most amazing person I’ve ever met.”
“She’s just my soulmate
“I was just planning to enjoy my single life and have fun and stuff, and in the process of doing that, I met her and just fell for her.”
Their whirlwind romance saw them announce they were moving in together later that same month, and they’ve even adopted a kitten called Brittney who lives with them in their London home.
Julia said in a vlog to fans: “You’re probably thinking, wow you just met and you’re moving in together.”
They both acknowledged it was a “quick and new thing”, but Eileen said they were “consolidating their lives. “We’re not just acting impulsively we’ve talked about everything. “There are so many good reasons to move in together. And we’re both really really happy”
Their relationship blossomed, and Eileen, originally from America, said yes after Julia got down on one knee.
The couple jetted to Brazil to meet Julia’s parents for Christmas, with Eileen greeting her as “my future mother-in-law”.
And now the couple are busy planning their wedding, scheduled for later this year.
Despite claiming they’re just like any other couple, their relationship has attracted some criticism.

Apparently, Wendy and friends made up the story, to deceive the media and everyone on social media.
Wendy has now replied her Boyfriend, Best Jide after he made claims that Wendy and her family wanted to extort him.
In a new Instagram post on her page, below is what she wrote;
Here’s a new video of her narrating what went down;
Nigerian singer Viktoh has shared a new photo of his ‘swollen eye’ days after he was allegedly assaulted by policemen in Lagos.
The former YBNL singer, Viktoh was said to have been injured by police men at Alpha Beach Road Igbo Efon, Lekki, while on his way to the African shrine for rapper Zlatan’s concert .
Days after the incident the singer has now shared new photo of his swollen eye saying he prays it never happens to anyone else.

‘you think this is a joke? I just pray it never happens to no one. it’s new year and I wish everyone positive vibes all through got a lot of messages and calls from friends fans and family and I just want to say God bless you for the love. and to those that laughed this bridge is tiny, you might fall of anytime I hope you stay safe out there!’
Rotimi Amaechi, has reportedly described Nigeria as hopeless, saying the only way for the country to make progress is for “everybody to be killed”.
According to an audio released by Phrank Shaibu, an aide of Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Amaechi, who is minister of transportation, said this in a conversation with some journalists.
The minister was heard saying there would be a university in his village after the plans to build one in Daura, hometown of President Muhammadu Buhari in Katsina state, have been concluded.
Amaechi is from Ubima in Ikwerre local government area of Rivers state.
TheCable could not independently verify the audio. It is unclear when the conversation took place but it has been generating reactions on social media.
“This country can never change, I swear. The only way this country can change is in a situation where everybody is killed,” Amaechi said in the audio.
“This country is going nowhere. When Magnus (Abe) was secretary to the Rivers State Government (SSG), I told him that this country is hopeless and helpless and he told me, ‘Oga, stop it’. This cannot be coming from a governor.
“But two months in Abuja, Magnus came to meet me and said, I agree with you; this country is hopeless and helpless. All they do in Abuja is to share money.
“I have already written to the governor of Katsina state and I don’t know why he has not replied to give us the land in Daura for a university in Daura. The next university would be in my village. There is a popular saying while we were growing up, that charity begins at home. Will my own begin abroad?
“The president does not listen to anybody. He doesn’t care. You can write what you want to write. Does he read? I was flying with him in the aircraft and we saw a news report where a goat seller was complaining that he couldn’t sell his goats during Sallah because of Buhari’s administration. And the president said what my business with goat sellers is?”
David Iyiofor, spokesman of the minister, could not be reached for comments as of the time this report was filed. He neither answered calls nor responded to a text message sent.
Commenting on the audio, Shaibu asked Nigerians to vote against Buhari in the forthcoming election.
He said a vote for the president “is a vote for stagnation”, asking Buhari to “quit honourably instead of wasting tax payers monies on his reelection bid”.
“The truth is that, the other day, the President confessed that the economy had collapsed under his watch. On another occasion , the wife confessed to the fact that, the canal and not her dearest husband, President Buhari was in charge of the country and now, the director-general of his re-election campaign has confessed to the lack of capacity of President Buhari and the dismal failure of hid administration,” he said in a statement.
“The truth is, the president has established a record of failures which probably no other President would ever equal or erase. Mrs Aishat Buhari was partially correct when she stated that two people are preventing her husband from performing well. With this audio tape, if the two don’t include her husband then she is not completely being truthful.”
Canadian rapper, Drake has caused a frenzy online after a video showing him kissing and fondling a 17-year-old girl at one of his concerts surfaced on Saturday.
In the video, Drake invites the girl onstage during a break at the concert which took place in Denver – after kissing her shoulder and hugging her from behind, the rapper asks the girl how old she is.
Upon hearing her answer, Drake makes a joke on stage, saying: “I can’t go to jail yet.”
“Why do you look like that?” he continues. “Well look, I had fun, I don’t know whether I should feel guilty or not, but I had fun. I like the way your breasts feel against my chest. I just want to thank you.”
He then appears to kiss her more on the face and lips before she left the stage. According to multiple reports, the video is from 2010 when Drake was 23.
