Yesterday, former YBNL star, Viktoh, shared a video showing how he was brutalized by Nigerian police after he went to perform at a show.
Some Nigerians decided to rather condemn the singer for complaining about the incident rather than facing his dieing career.
Viktoh has however berated his critics for being indifferent to his plight instead of condemning the act of the police men who could have done worse to another citizen on the street.
He tweeted:
‘I kept on tweeting and fighting against this police brutality but you guys ignored me now it has happened to me and someone is saying I never did something about it? This is sad’
Some people even said I should shut up and face my career like what’s happing to people of this world
Too much hate in this country sha
I still came out to perform for my fans that’s the fucking passion!
Iran is set to ban popular social media platform, Instagram over “immoral content”, a platform which the President has over two million followers.
Authorities in Iran have announced plans to ban the photo sharing app, citing national security concerns.
Iran’s National Cyberspace Council has approved steps to block Instagram, according to local reports, following crackdowns on other social media apps. Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Telegram are already banned in the Islamic Republic, with internet providers ordered to block access to the services.
The apps have often been used as a way to spread anti-government messages, with Telegram in particular, often cited as a national security concern.
Many Iranians continue to access the services despite the bans, circumventing the technical blocks by routing traffic through an overseas internet address.
Twitter has been blocked in the country since 2009 but Rouhani has official accounts that tweet both in Persian and English. Former president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has also fostered a sizeable Twitter fanbase.
The state prosecution service’s IT commissary, Javad Javadnia, said on Thursday that “Instagram unfortunately has not only illegal but immoral and obscene content” and authorities are presently waiting for final decision from Iran’s political leadership to implement the ban, the Isna news agency reported.

The quake originated at a depth of 10 km, the JMA also said, adding that the powerful earthquake logged lower 6 on the Japanese seismic intensity scale and peaked at 7 in some areas of Kumamoto Prefecture.
In nearby areas of Fukuoka, the quake registered 4 on Japan’s seismic scale and 3 in the surrounding prefectures of Saga, Nagasaki, Oita and Miyazaki. A Shinkansen bullet train in the region was forced to make an emergency stop.
Japan’s nuclear watchdog did not issue any warning about irregularities or abnormalities at the Sendai or Genkai nuclear power plants located in Kyushu.

Not too long ago, there were multiple reports on Nigerian blogs that popular man of God, Pastor Chris Okafor allegedly acquired a private jet, accompanied with photos of the man of God posing in and outside of the private jet.
Although, whether or not he actually purchased the jet was still foggy as a report stated…
‘If found to be true, Dr. Okafor will Join the growing list of Nigeria’s mega pastors whose ministries have been graced with luxurious jets’.
… and also the church did not officially issue a statement, a trusted source who is quite close to the Liberation City General overseer waved it off as a “rudderless rumor”.
In a new report by LIB, the story is said to be misleading as the private jet with registration number 5N-EXJ actually belongs to Execujet Nigeria and it has been used by other Nigerian pastors and celebrities in the past.
LIB confirms that Chris Okafor does not own a jet.

A mother of one has reportedly lost her life after a high tension cable fell on her at her home in the Ikorodu area of Lagos state.
Facebook user, Rasheed Fatuga, who shared the story online, stated that the woman who recently celebrated her 40th birthday, was seeing off a friend who came to pay her a visit at her home around Solebo estate in Aga Ikorodu, when the cable fell on her on Deceber 9th 2018.
She was rushed to the hospital where she was until she died on New Year day January 1st 2019. Read Rasheed’s account of the story as he shared on his page below,
She was full of life, in fact she celebrated her 40th birthday recently.
On Dec 9, 2018, Her friend came to visit her and as she was seeing her off around Sòlébò Estate, Aga Ikorodu, a high tension cable fell off from the Ikeja Electricity Pole and fell on her while light was on.
Immediately eyewitnesses called the Electricity Company officials, and the light was switched off but before the people could gather to rescue her to the hospital, the light came on again, and they all ran back.
Then the light went off again and the people immediately rushed her to lkorodu General Hospital where she was given First Aid treatment and then she was transferred immediately to Gbagada General Hospital where burns are being treated.
The incident happened around 7pm in Ikorodu and she was transferred to Gbagada General Hospital around 10pm.
Ever since then, close to 1 Million Naira has been spent on her (Drugs, Tests, Injections, Surgery and co).
Our source, who is a close relative mentioned it that Doctors in the hospital recommended that she eats a crate of egg per day, that’s to explain the level of her condition.
She also said that representatives of the Electricity company visited the victim while she was on the sick bed, and all they could give her is Ten Thousand Naira (10,000).
She eventually died yesterday (Tue, Jan 1, 2019).
To me,
Nigeria is the most terrible place to live in, a country where the government doesn’t care if we live or we die.
So many people have lost their lives because of cases like this.
I believe in a sane country,
Electricity companies should conduct a periodic check to their facilities especially one such as high tension cables.
Until we Nigerians start rising up to making everyone accountable to their duties and responsibilities, we would just keep on passing the buck.
The is not a new occurrence, it happens everyday in the country.
I believe the family should sue the electricity company and also ask for compensation, because they have neglected their duty, they failed to comply to health and safety laws.
What happened to all those security checks and maintenance they claim they conduct sometimes that would make thousands of houses not having light?
We all know that Death is inevitable but this is a pathetic way to die.
The Electricity Company must pay for this!
May her Soul Rest In Peace!
To the Families: Our heart goes out to you in this time of sorrow.
Please accept our condolences.

Senator Dino Melaye’s younger brother, Moses, has accused the Federal Government of using the police to turn the Senator’s life into a nightmare.
His assertion comes as the police continues to lay a siege outside Melaye’s home in Abuja.
Recall that on Friday December 28th 2018, the police stormed Melaye’s Abuja home with the aim of arresting him over an alleged murder case. The embattled senator and his men have been accused of attempting to murder a police officer in Kogi state in July 2018. Read here.
Speaking during an interview on Channels TV last night, January 2nd, Moses Melaye said the police have made life unbearable for his brother since they started the siege outside his home and that his family believe the police is out to harm him.
“This government and the police have made the life of my brother, Senator Dino Melaye, a living hell for the last few months. The case they are raising against him happened in July. I was there in the car; the policemen shot at us. My car had over six bullets riddled on that car. How can they turn around all of a sudden that we are the ones shooting at the police?
“Our security men and policemen have been taken away since over seven-eight months ago. So, how do we now become the persons shooting? That story is not true. It is unfounded and because of the injustice on a daily basis, we cannot trust or believe anything they do. I believe that they are out to harm my brother. If not, what is the desperation?” he said
Narrating how the police stormed Melaye’s Abuja home on December 28th, Moses said
“On this particular occasion, they went into the compound, arrested the security man, beat him up and cuffed him” he said

A former nun who left the convent and became a mother-of-two is set to make her debut as a professional adult film star.
Yudy Pineda, 28, has signed a multi-scene deal with Miami-based BangBros, one of the biggest porn studios in the US, to feature in a convent themed scene.
The Colombian-born porn star, who spent eight years training to become a nun, decided to quit the convent after 8 years when she fell in love with a man who was working at the nunnery as a catechism instructor.
Now BangBros executive producer Cullen McRae says the studio ‘couldn’t be more proud’ of signing Pineda for her debut which features Pineda in a nun habit and will be released on January 13.
McRae told AVN:
Her beauty, her raw sexuality and her desire to share that with her fans is something that we knew was extremely special.
Her first scene with us showcases not only her passion and sexuality but also her faith, as we collaborated with her to come up with a convent-based theme. We have no doubt these scenes will make her a household name.
Pineda entered a convent as a 10-year-old girl dreaming of becoming a nun. When she turned 18 and fell in love, she approached the sisters at the catholic convent and informed them that she would be separating herself.
She recalled in an interview with Colombian outlet Caracol Radio:
I talked to the sister and told her that it was not right what I was doing, I had fallen in love, and I left the convent.
Pineda then moved to Medellin and later found a job with the Nestle company as a vendor. There, a co-worker repeatedly approached her about giving the erotic webcam business a go.
After a while, she agreed and gave the erotic business a try but gave up after 6 months because the earnings barely allowed her to keep up a sustainable living while caring for her two children as a single mother.
But Pineda decided to give the internet porn business another try when she met a man in Medellin who had a better understanding of how to run the business. It paid off and she now makes a little over $2,500 working 40 hours every 15 days as she dances, models and performs a range of sexual acts on herself in front of her fans.
In spite of being in the erotic business, Pineda hasn’t forgotten her Catholic roots. She attends Sunday Mass every week and participates in a weekly Friday night bible study class.

Governor Aminu Masari
The governor said:
The citizens are on a daily basis being harassed by bandits and kidnappers that are on rampage in the state.
The Katsina Government organised this one-day joint security and stakeholders meeting to proffer solutions to the state’s current insecurity challenge.
Our state is currently under serious siege by armed robbers, kidnappers and armed bandits who arrest rural people at will and demand ransom, which if not paid, results in the killing their victims.
The people of Katsina in the 34 local governments now sleep with one eye closed and the other open.
Our state is in a dangerous situation. Travellers are afraid of being stopped on the highway and arrested by kidnappers who demand ransom.
I am calling on all stakeholders to come out with solutions that will assist the security agencies to discharge their duties.
This time around, we should be able to make sacrifices that will make our state safe and will allow people to go about their lawful business without fear of being arrested by armed bandits and kidnappers.
