Aiseosa (a.k.a) Wesley Jackson before Justice D.Z Sanchi of the FCT High Court sitting in Jabi. A statement from the agency says both men were arrested upon an intelligence report about their suspicious movements and ostensible lifestyles.

When you set out for your dreams in life in our country today, whether study , good job or greener pastures , the fact u failed in your first attempt should not discourage you. The story of one’s greatness is not told unless there is a rough road to it.

A subtle war of tweets is brewing between two of Nigeria’s biggest singers – Yemi Alade & Tiwa Savage.
It is no longer news that both artistes are not really best of friends as there have been yet subtle confrontations in the past and today’s conversation looked like one of those ‘sneak disses’.
It all began when Yemi Alade took to twitter to call out a ‘certain female singer’ who was deceiving her fans with fake butt pictures.
Yemi Alade’s tweet reads ;
Stop increasing your ynash in your pictures! you know you are straight like “I” embrace your real self! Ahh ahh.
Deceiving fans up and down
That tweet caused the investigative arm of Nigerian twitter users come up with a theory that Yemi was indeed shading her industry colleague ‘Tiwa Savage’.
Hours Later, Tiwa Savage had a reply of her own, it reads ;
Going into 2019 although u’m quiet, i’m going to try and speak my mind a little more. Let me clarify first of all that this is not a yansh war, I kuku no get big yansh in the first place. It’s about minding your business
Bankole Wellington, Nigerian entertainer popularly known as Banky W, says Nigerians who collect money from politicians during elections should not complain about the economy.
In an interview with Sahara TV, Banky said his party is hoping that the frustration in the country has made people wiser about voting.
“We are counting on the fact that Nigerians know what is going on, they are not fooled easily anymore,” he said.
“Even the poorest among us understand this game, they understand that every four years, politicians come along and give them money to cast their vote and that is the last time they will see them till four years later.
“We are trying to educate people and say that we can’t do the same thing and expect different results. If they are going to vote for a politician because he gave 20k, then don’t complain that things are hard because you mortgaged your piece of the country by going that route.”
Speaking on voter apathy, he said people who do not show up at the polling booth on election day are the ones that make it easy to rig.
“By not voting, you are voting for things to remain the same. By not voting, you are giving you voice and your vote to the same people you are complaining about.
“People complain about rigging, what they don’t understand that when they stay home, that’s the perfect scenario for rigging to occur.
“When you make an allotment in this room for 10 people to vote and one person shows up, you have just created the perfect scenario for anybody to come along and play with the numbers.”
He is contesting to represent Eti-Osa at the federal house of representatives candidate on the platform of the Modern Democratic Party (MDP)
EFCC, Enugu Zonal Office, on Thursday, December 20, 2018, intercepted $2.8million from two people, suspected to be money launderers, at Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu.
The suspects, namely Ighoh Augustine and Ezekwe Emmanuel, allegedly working for a company: Bankers Warehouse, were nabbed based on intelligence report.
Upon their arrest, they were caught with consignments of two suitcases, containing $1.4 million each, totalling $2.8 million, at the departure lounge of the airport while about to board an Arik Air evening flight to Lagos.
During interrogation, the suspects confessed that they have been in the business of conveying cash for “some notable banks“, for over six years and were in the process of doing same for Union Bank Plc, located at New Market, Onitsha, Anambra State, when they were caught.
The suspects further confessed that they had so far carried out such assignments, “four times this year”. They are presently giving useful information to operatives of the Commission, and will be charged to court soon.
A Kano Court has remanded Deji Adeyanju in prison until February 2019, after the Nigerian Police reopened a murder case which he was discharged and acquitted for by the Kano State High Court following a lengthy trial that lasted between 2005 and 2009.
Hassan Fagge, who presided over the Chief Magistrate’s Court in Kano today, stated that his court lacked jurisdiction to hear the murder charges against Adeyanju, and further ordered that Adeyanju should be remanded in prison custody till February 6th when a higher court could be available to hear the matter.
Adeyanju’s lawyer, Yusuf Suleiman, who spoke to PREMIUM TIMES after the court judgement, stated that the decision by the court shows that the Federal government was out to deal with anyone that criticizes their government. He further disclosed that they will be appealing the magistrate court’s decision.
“This is clearly an attempt to keep him unlawfully in detention. After detaining him in Abuja for several days without arraignment, in violation of the Constitution that gives a maximum 48 years for such detention, they now charged him for attempted murder which the magistrate said he has no power to hear. Now a lower court is hearing a matter that the Kano State High Court had decided long ago” Suleiman said.
While other Christians in the country and the rest of the world are celebrating Christmas, Daddy Freeze has stepped in to opine about the festive season.
According to Freeze, Christmas is a pagan festival and has nothing to do with Christ.
The OAP said this while reacting to a celebratory post shared by AY. In AY’s photo, he and his brothers had on matching outfits and AY shared it with a caption that spoke about Christmas and the coming of Christ.
Freeze replied telling him that ‘Nimrod’, and not Christ, is the real owner of Christmas.
He wrote:
Nimrod, Odin, Saturnalia, Horus, Tammuz, Sol Invictus, the winter solstice and paganism are the real reasons for the season.
–
Christmas has nothing to do with either God or Christ.?
–
“Nimrod started the great organized worldly apostasy
from God that has dominated this world until now.
Nimrod married his own mother, whose name was Semiramis.
After Nimrod’s death, his so-called mother-wife,
Semiramis, propagated the evil doctrine of the survival
of Nimrod as a spirit being. She claimed a full-grown
evergreen tree sprang overnight from a dead tree stump,
which symbolized the springing forth unto new life
of the dead Nimrod. On each anniversary of his birth,
she claimed, Nimrod would visit the evergreen tree
and leave gifts upon it. December 25th, was the birthday
of Nimrod. This is the real origin of the Christmas tree.”

Indigenes of a Community in Ekiti State are currently fighting their ‘born again’ King, who refused to perform traditional rites.
Oba Dare Gabriel Olajide, the ‘born again’ King who was given two months to reconcile with his subjects by the State government, was also accused of destroying Ifa symbols and instruments of installation, absconding from the community and cancellation of the meetings of chiefs.
However a statement signed by the Special Assistant (Media) to the Deputy Governor, Odunayo Ogunmola, revealed that a peace meeting was organized and attended by the Oore of Otun-Ekiti and Paramount Ruler of Moba land, Oba Adedapo Popoola and Isaoye traditional chiefs.
Deputy Governor of the State, Otunba Bisi Egbeyemi who expressed dissatisfaction over the series of allegations levelled against the king, wondered how a whole community would turn against their king.
While reacting to Oba Olajide’s alleged refusal to respect the tradition of his community, Egbeyemi said:
“You that accepted that you want to be king, you should know that there are traditions that needed to be observed.
“There is nothing good about all that was reported about you. I see no reason why you should go against your people, I am appealing to them now, go and do what they ask you to do.
“You have till the end of February. If you cannot follow the path of peace and secure the interest of your people, everything is left to you.
“I cannot depose you and I cannot ask them to depose you mine is to ensure that there is peace in your community. We cannot force you on them, you have been given the chance to make amendment and redeem your image.
“Don’t go on a journey of self destruction. If you claimed that you are serving God we are all serving God, you cannot be more Catholic than the Pope.
“I will not support that a king be deposed, I plead with you Kabiyesi, Obasaoye go and make peace with the people of your town.”
However the King who denied the allegations against him by his subjects, claimed that he was passionate about moving the community forward. This came after Oba Popoola, revealed that Obasaoye flagrantly turned down the advice given to him by the Council

Stephen reportedly lured his victim into his one rented room apartment on Itu Road, Uyo and gave him a poisoned food which made him (Daniel) fall into a deep sleep.

The Pastor who told his member that it is written nowhere in the Bible that a photo of Jesus was taken, further admonished his members to never hang such pictures in their bedroom and worship it.

“I have come to tell you this picture is not the picture of Jesus. And I step on it to tell you that it is not the picture of Jesus. It is colonialism and mental slavery.”
It was a jolly good moment at a police office after a notorious Boko Haram Commander was arrested yesterday in Lagos.
Top police officers and their subordinates popped bottles of champagne to rejoice over the arrest of suspect, Abdulmalik Umar, said to have been responsible for the deaths of more than 200 people.

It was gathered that 39-year-old Umar was the grand commander of the attack and rescue operations of the Prison in Niger State early this year where he lost one of his eyes during the operation which led to the escape of over 100 prisoners.
Umar, was arrested by operatives of the Inspector General of Police (IG) Intelligence Response Team (IRT) around Mowe at a nurse’s house where he was receiving treatment for the bullet wounds he sustained during a recent gun battle with the police in Abuja.
He had fled Abuja three weeks ago when some of his gang members were apprehended.

Shana is reported to have been refusing to go for HIV tests and contact numbers of the three alleged men were shared with Jala’s brother,” said the source.
“Neighbours tried in vain to gain entry into the locked house after they spotted smoke coming out of the house and women took turns to put out the fire. We are still to get to the bottom of the story.”
Shana reportedly heard about what had happened to her husband but opted to remain at her workplace.

In a new video footage recorded by an Uber driver, a slay queen has been alleged to assaulting the driver by the rough handling him after she failed to pay him the money for her trip.
According to what can be deduced from the video, after ending the trip, the lady asked the driver to go – after waiting for minutes – as the person who was supposed to send her money to pay him was still pending. The driver felt he was about to be conned and so he chose rather to wait and be paid than leave and be played, this was when things began to get messy.
According to the driver, he was rough handled by the lady who tore his shirt after she felt she was being disgraced by him – this prompted the driver to begin recording where he can be seen making a complaint to Uber and threatening to ‘naked’ her.
He and the lady are eventually appealed to by passersby with one of them said to be a police officer before the atmosphere became calm again.

They were the ones who gave us his details and since then we have been looking for him. He has one eye and is responsible for over 200 killings. We arrested four of his gang members three weeks ago in Abuja and recovered four AK47 rifles which they took from the policemen they killed at Gwagwalada. He escaped at that operation with gun wounds and fled to Lagos. We have been on his trail since then. He went to his sister’s house in Mowe to hide. His sister was treating him of the bullet wounds.

A peace ambassador and interfaith professional mediator in Kaduna state, Ramatu Tijjani has decorated the residence of Pastor Yohanna Buru, the general overseer of Christ Evangelical Church Sabon Tasha, with Christmas trees.
Speaking with newsmen on Wednesday in Kaduna, Mrs Tijjani said the gesture was to boost better understanding among different faiths in the country.
Mrs Tijjani, who is a specialist in conflict resolution in Africa, said the decoration of the pastor’s house with light, wreaths, stockings and ornaments is to strengthen peaceful co-existence and a better understanding of different faiths among citizens of Nigeria.
“I observed that the Christmas tree is very vital to the life of every Christian all over the world, and that is why I bought it to decorate the pastor’s house, as a sign of promoting unity, togetherness and to wish all Christians worldwide the best of the season and happy new year in advance, Mrs Tijjani said.
According to her, both the Muslims and Christians are children of Adam and Eve who believe in One God and have holy books they believe in.
While urging people to support each other and live in peace and harmony, Mrs Tijjani said: “Both of them believe in life after death, and both believe in paradise and hell and that makes us all brothers and sisters.”
While commending the philanthropist for the gesture, the Man of God said: “Ramatu is the first woman who used her money to donate many things to churches, widows and orphans.”
Mr Buru prayed that God Almighty would bless her for donating the Christmas trees, new wrappers and food to the Christian needy.
