Justin Bieber has been truly, genuinely upset following the news of his ex Selena Gomez’s hospitalization and decision to seek treatment for anxiety and depression after.
He’s been photographed out crying twice this week, including just yesterday in the car with his new wife Hailey Baldwin. But even before that, Bieber has been struggling since his courthouse wedding to Baldwin last month, Us Weekly reports.
Regarding Gomez, a source told the outlet that there are definitely still feelings there, even though they’re not romantic, and Bieber really is concerned for her. “Justin still loves Selena a lot, but as a friend and is praying for her,” the source said.
But generally, getting married hasn’t fulfilled Bieber, who feels overwhelmed with everything. “He has so much going for him but he doesn’t feel whole,” a second source close to the singer told the outlet.
Bieber is over fame too, that second source added.
“Justin has become a recluse and a changed person,” the source said. “He has no interest in being a celebrity and an artist. He has withdrawn again, much like he did a couple years ago. He started recording music, but just stopped.”
Earlier today the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, was in a closed-door meeting with Peter Obi at his Asokoro home in Abuja.
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, after the meeting, picked the former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, as his running mate ahead of the 2019 general elections.
Obi emerged the preferred choice of both the party and the candidate after series of consultations by stakeholders in the party and outside it.
It was gathered that Obi’s name and that of Atiku will be sent to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) next week.

A Nigerian man Darren Idongesit, has taken to Facebook to rejoice after receiving news of his abusive father’s death, saying it’s a wonderful news.
Darren said his father, a pastor, was so abusive and left him with physical and emotional scars. He referred to his father as a “Nigerian psychopath” and said he is the “only man that has successfully pissed everyone off in the world.
He wrote:
Phew! I heard a wonderful news today. I think my father is dead.
All I want to do if I ever grabbed a mic at his funeral is to list all the terrible things he did and said about his relatives. I’d also want to promote my revealing book on growing up with a Nigerian psychopath in an alien land with no familiar faces or features, I remember how it felt to be brutally injured in my first experience of northern harmattan. Injury during harmattan is the most painful but then there is the other one which has kept up with me till this day – the emotional scars are more like sores that keep tearing itself apart, banishing the superficial cicatrix and oozing crimson sorrow that nowadays taste like ferrous delight.
Ah well, I hope he saved for his funeral because I don’t think anyone would want to bury that man, the only man that has successfully pissed everyone off in the world.
I am however glad that through his actions my life radically changed and I know now not to treat others badly, I rather be sincere than treacherous, I rather say I don’t like a person to their face than hurt them from behind the curtains.
Through my travails and childhood trauma I want to thank god all mighty donkey-ass for not showing up, if my childhood was sweet, perhaps I’d never have reason to question faith and beliefs and love and marriage and having biological children.
I don’t want marriage, don’t want children, and I want to save for my own funeral which would be a Muslim funeral – wrap me up in white cloth as black would be too spooky, throw the cadaver in a shallow grave not 6 feet but 3, plant N350 mango seedling there so I know at least I was useful one last time to the wild birds of the forest and occasionally a firm branch for a stray person to hang from.
I also want to give away any money I make professionally to charity that would help increase literacy in young girls so they have the power to tell their own stories.
I may have my own opinion of my father, it doesn’t mean others shouldn’t have a different opinion of the man but I strongly believe he is the only person that would die to exorbitant jubilee and champagne pops.
Jamaican eight-time Olympic sprint champion and world’s fastest man Usain Bolt, has scored his first goals in his second trial match for a Australia’s Central Coast Mariners to boost his chances of becoming a professional footballer.
The Jamaican scored the Mariners’ third and fourth goals in a 4-0 win over Macarthur South West on Friday and celebrated with his trademark lightning bolt pose.

“My first start and scoring two goals, it’s a good feeling, I’m happy I could come here and show the world I’m improving. I’m keen to be a Mariner, to play my best and get into the team,” he added.
The 100m and 200m world record holder has previously trained with Borussia Dortmund, South African club Sundowns and Norway’s Stromsgodset.
Veteran singer, Djinee is on his feet again and can now walk with only one crutch after surviving a car crash a few months ago.
The singer had been been trying to walk with the aid of two crutches but has now become able to walk using only one.
The music star took to his Twitter page yesterday, to share a video of himself walking again with the aid of one of his crutches.
According to him in his tweet, there has been an immense improvement..
“Day 46 – Yay!!! So today I graduated from using two crutches to using just one. A big leap from about 6+ weeks ago when I was fighting for my life. One thing you learn in situations like this is to celebrate every step no matter how little and maybe mundane to a lot of people,”.
A Taxify driver has narrated how he was beaten by some boys he believed were popular singer, Davido’s boys, yesterday, in Lagos.
A young man identified as Aboderin Casper Abiodun, has taken to his Instagram page @abiodunaboderin, to narrate how he was brutally attacked by hoodlums who he alleged are Davido’s boys on Thursday in the Lekki area of Lagos.
He shared photos narrating how he was battered after the attack and wrote:
“Some things are not just meant to be. I am a taxify driver. I was driving and minding my business along Lekki-phase1 yesterday when I was attacked by some boys which I later confirmed they are Davido’s boys. He claimed that I was driving too slowly for his liking and I was obstructing his drive. I did not argue with him; neither did I try to insult him. It was totally unprovoked. He gave me a punch on my mouth and I started bleeding. He left the scene.
I have never been that confused in my life! I looked towards the direction he went to. I noticed that he was going towards a house painted in white. I went there so as to get a sensible person to talk to and probably make him apologize.
I found out that it was a music studio. But as I was speaking to a man I saw there, the guy came back, saw me and started shouting. Then at the same time, a white Toyota Hilux arrived with about 6 guys.
They beat me to a pulp and broke my bones. They beat me up so much, I could not move my body. They also used their boots to step on me and broke my glasses. Then they chased me out of the place like a common thief.
I could not see clearly to drive myself out of the scene due to my glasses. As I am making this complaint, I am at the hospital receiving treatment. I am in pains and I did nothing to deserve this from these guys.
Afterwards, I saw the first guy who started this troubles with Davido at the balcony of the white house. This made me confirm they were Davido’s boys. These guys think they are above the law? The fact that you are associated with a celebrity does not give you the liberty to beat up seemingly law abiding citizens anyhow, just because you can.
This may go unnoticed, but in due course, karma will visit. Kindly share this everyone. This has to stop.”
A lady has narrated how Kick Against Indiscipline, KAI, officers allegedly brutalized her father and brother, leaving her father badly injured and her brother unconscious in the hospital.
Nelly Akam Danson said the KAI officers attacked her brother after market women in Ilasamaja complained to them that hawkers are making it impossible for them to make profits due to how they sell at a cheaper rate. She alleged that the KAI officials responded to the report, arriving with guns, machete, and baton.
According to her, they picked up people at random and beat them up. Her brother was one of those being assaulted and her father came to his rescue but he was beaten too.

Ellen Degeneres took to her Instagram page to share the photo as they take part in the annual LGBT awareness day usually observed on October 11 and 12 in some parts of the world.

‘It’s the greatest gift you could give yourself. #NationalComingOutDay.’
DeGeneres celebrated National Coming Out Day on Thursday, October 11 by giving her wife, Portia a sweet shout-out on social media.
Ellen and Portia had began dating in December 2004 while de Rossi was on the Fox sitcom, Arrested Development. And in 2008, Ellen announced on her show that she was planning on getting married to Portia.
DeGeneres told PEOPLE in her 2016 cover story.
“Portia and I constantly say to each other, ‘We are so lucky.’ Sometimes it’s lying in bed at night before I go to sleep, and I just say thank you to whatever, whoever is out there. I’ve gotten to a place where I really am just settled. Really. I know that I’m not going anywhere. She’s not going anywhere. I’m not saying the relationship took a while; I’m saying in my life, it took a while to find this.”
While publicly coming out as gay in 1997, Ellen said:
“It was the hardest thing that I ever had to do in my life, I would not change one moment of it because it led me to be exactly where I am today.”
A Nigerian man on his quest in searching for a life partner, went on to Twitter to give the public announcement – the gentleman didn’t just list the attributes he wants in his wife, but also one interesting feature of his.

In need of a patient intelligent young lady between 20_25. And a graduate preferably.
Twitter do your thing.
His tweet of course caused quite a stir on the microblogging platform, with many referencing his ‘careless’ attribute.
Some reactions below,
Experience could be a cruel teacher. Sometimes it best to learn from other’s experiences. Following instructions is better.
Regarding your tweet @Nurexmu God is your only resort,He instituted marriage and is Love. He’ll do a better job than this. My opinion??
As someone who just got out of a relationship with a nonchalant person, I’ll tell you that patience takes a lot from a person. But I wish you good luck.
If you’re “careless” or “carefree”. And you know it, don’t get into marriage.
Work on yourself and the right person will be attracted to you.
How to do it? Change your mindset from “I’m careless” to “I love her, so why not hear from her”
Be a better person for her.
See correct sharp guy! Knows who he is and what he wants! While our Fine single ibo guys are there still playing hide and seek games wasting our time ? wish i could marry from your tribe ??? May you find that which you seek!
I hope twitter will follow you and pay bride price. We cannot look for a wife for you and don’t get invite to chop party jollof.
Popular Ghanaian singer, KiDi has disclosed that even though he loves women, he is not a womanizer and he actually acknowledge ladies who DM him their nudes.
The ‘Odo’ hit maker made this known in an interview with Larkuor Adjartey on Celebrity Chit Chat With Larkuor on Lark TV.
KiDi, who has carved a niche for himself as the ‘ladies’ man’ has most music fanatics believing that this is so because his style of doing music and the lyrics of his tracks appeals more to the ladies.
Others also believe the ‘Say You Love Me’ crooner is simply an innocent.
Speaking in an interview which was monitored by Agyapaonline.net, in Lynx Entertainment studio, KiDi who calls himself the ‘Gyal dem sugar’ said;
“I love ladies who send me their nudes, what can I do I have tried several times to stop them but they keep sending them, So when they do I give them thumbs up, sometimes I reply; keep it up girl you have done well.”
Just about three weeks after she gave birth to her first child, celebrity blogger, Linda Ikeji has shared photos of herself and she looks quite delectable in them.
Rocking a Denim jeans jumpsuit, the proud new mother wears a bright smile as she flashes minor cleavage in the photos that has since been garnering thousands of likes on her page since she shared them.

Not too long ago, the 38 year old admitted that in life, one can never get everything one wants in life – she said this after being called out on many occasions for succumbing to fate and joining the league of unmarried mothers popularly known as “Baby mamas”.
The World Bank President, Jim Yong Kim, has admitted that the financial institution’s advice to Nigeria caused problems in health, education sectors.
The World Bank says it “has to take some responsibility” for advising Nigeria and other African countries to invest more in roads, railways and energy rather than in education and health.
The World Bank President, Mr. Jim Yong Kim, made this known while briefing the media after the launch of the 2018 Human Capital Index, which ranked Nigeria 152nd out of 157 countries believed to be committed to investing in human capital.
Kim briefed the media on Thursday at the ongoing International Monetary Fund and World Bank Group Annual Meeting in Bali, Indonesia.
“We provide quite a bit of support for Nigeria in terms of health budget. But we feel that the overall spending on health is just far too low, 0.76 per cent of GDP.
“Also, the educational outcomes in Nigeria are very very poor.
“Nigeria is one of the most important countries not only in Africa, but in the world and so we feel that it will be extremely important for Nigeria to really go on a different level altogether in terms of their commitment to investing in human capital.
“I think that the World Bank has to take some responsibility for having emphasised hard on infrastructure, roads, rails, energy for a very long time and I think that changed 20 years ago.
“But there is still then the bias that says we will invest in hard infrastructure and then when we grow rich, we will have enough money to invest in health and education.
“We are now saying that that’s really the wrong approach, that you’ve got to start investing in your people right now.”
HCI seeks to raise awareness and increase demand for interventions to build human capital and accelerate better and more investments in people.
Kim said that through the International Development Association, the World Bank had, since 2015 increased funding for Nigeria and other African countries towards alleviating poverty.
The message here is that Heads of State and Ministers of Finance have to take responsibility.
“What has happened is in many African countries, if they don’t receive grant-based financing, they just simply don’t spend on health and education.
“So we hope that this is a loud wake-up call for leaders throughout the African continent and especially in Nigeria.”
According to the human capital index, children born in Nigeria stand the chance of being 34 per cent as productive when they grow up as they will be if they enjoy complete education and full health.
Children in Nigeria can expect to complete 8.2 years of pre- primary, primary and secondary school by age 18.
However, when years of schooling are adjusted for quality of learning, this is only equivalent to 4.2 years, showing a learning gap of 4 years.
The World Bank report on adult survival rate across Nigeria showed that only 65 per cent of 15-year-olds would survive until 60 years of age.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the 2018 Annual Meetings of the IMF and WBG brings together experts to discuss issues of global concern, including the World Economic Outlook, poverty eradication, economic development and aid effectiveness.
A Nigerian Lady has shared a story of a Taxify driver who was allegedly beaten by one of his riders and her staff.
The story was shared by @uyai__, and it’s a sad one.

The presidency has reacted to the recent endorsement of Atiku Abubakar’s presidential bid by former president, Olusegun Obasanjo.
In a statement released by the Senior Special Assistant to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, the presidency says it would not be distracted by the move.
Read full statement below,
The Presidency has received the news of former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s predictable U-turn and somersault on the endorsement of the PDP candidate, Atiku Abubakar, at a meeting Thursday, and to say that we are the least surprised by the well-rehearsed theatre.
They will lose together. Listening to the prepared statement of the former President after the meeting showed the usual ego trip and “I know it all”character of Chief Obasanjo.
In the first place, we dare to say that a pompous statement from the former President advising Nigerians on a vote against President Buhari is the best recommendation that can come at this time.
It also betrayed a lack of understanding of today’s politics which is about good governance.
The country voted for change in 2015 and a leader that ensures good governance which only President Buhari and the APC can provide.
Bent on these laudable goals, we will not allow ourselves to be distracted.
We are busy on various national issues including the restructuring and the diversification of the economy, fighting corruption, terrorism and other threats to national security; increasing the availability of electric power, improving education, health, and providing long-delayed infrastructure – roads, rail, airports and so forth.
Many governments have come and gone, but they did not care about some of these projects.
We were talking about these things for sixteen years under the PDP and nothing was done.
President Buhari is proud of his record because his achievements are verifiable, while that of the PDP is manifested by the devastating social and economic impact of large scale corruption during their governance.
The President will not relent in the war against corruption because the ordinary people are the ultimate victims if we surrender to corruption and let its perpetrators go unpunished.
Abandoning the war against corruption is not an option. President Buhari is in this battle against graft because he cannot allow a few, rapacious, and selfish class of the elite to divert the resources meant for the well-being of the ordinary people to their private pockets.
Nigerians trust President Buhari in this effort because they are convinced he is not in government for personal financial benefits, or for an ego trip. It is just eleven years ago that the former President and Vice President in their ugly fight for power accused each other of corruption. Nigerians are yet to forget all that.
Yung6ix says he is presently the only rapper in the country and that no other artiste is doing rap music.
Real name Onome Onokohwomo, the artiste said 50 Cent, Jay Z, Lil Wayne and Kanye West are the foreign rappers that inspire him.
Yung6ix said “it’s a fact” that there is no rap artiste like him in Nigeria.
“I am the only rapper in the country right now,” he said during a show on Hip TV.
“I can’t see anybody doing modern day rap music apart from myself. It’s just the truth. It’s just the fact. They don’t do it like I do it.”
The rapper said being a native of the south-south region of Nigeria has been the most challenging thing for him in his career.
“Coming from south-south Nigeria has been the most challenging stuff because when people want to do anything, they keep the south-south out of it,” he said.
“When they want to give awards, they keep us out of it. First of all, which other rapper from south-south has been doing this for the past ten years?
“I had a chance because I came into the industry under the right record label.”
Young6ix, who released his first single in 2011, also commented on the rise and growing influence of the Afrobeats genre.
He said: “When we started, the industry was not on this level. We are past the point where Afrobeats is so big. We are about to conquer the world.”
When asked about his relationship status, the rapper said it “depends on my location”, adding that “sometimes, I wake up single, sometimes I don’t”.
He added: “Music is a selfish career, very, very selfish.”
3 young Ghanaian slay queens from Ghana have few words for ladies who ransack their boyfriend’s phone.
The girls, who shouldn’t be more than 19, without shame, asked other girls to stop blocking them (side chicks) from their boyfriends phone.. after all he wasn’t created just to date just one person.
One of the girls asked if their (referring to the main chicks) names were written on the manhood of their boyfriend when they were born to suggest that, they were born to only f**ck them.
They spoke in their Ghanaian language, but the translation reads:
“Those of you ladies who have been blocking us on the phones of your boyfriends, if we may ask, when his mother gave birth to him, did she write your name on his p*nis, or did they say, his p*nis was made just for only you to f*ck? Sharing is caring, allow us to also chop your boyfriends some”
The Cable reports that the lovers usually had incessant disagreements over alleged infidelity on the part of the superstar.
“Chioma has been complaining and they are having problems,” an insider who spoke to The Cable alleged.
Apparently, their disagreement recently reached a head when Chioma confronted the singer over allegations of impregnating yet another woman.
Reacting to the reports, Davido threatened to sue the media house. Taking to his page, he wrote: “God punish you. See you in court b&tch”.
Also to rubbish the reports, the singer took to his Insta-story to share a very short video with Chioma, while on a dinner date.
Although he didn’t show her face, but she was wearing the Cartier love bracelet he recently got her. The bracelet costs $6,300 which is approximately 2.2 million naira. Photos Below:
A Nigerian beauty therapist who sexually assaulted a woman who he was treating, has been jailed in the U.K
Ayoyinka Oladimeji, 29, of Talia House, E14, was sentenced to three years in jail and handed a Sexual Harm Prevention Order at Inner London Crown Court, today, Thursday, 11 October, 2018.
The Sexual Harm Prevention order will prevent Oladimeji from performing or being present in treatment rooms while treatments are being performed.
He had been found guilty of sexual assault by penetration, following a trial at the same court on 6 September. The court heard how Oladimeji worked as a beauty therapist at a clinic in Peckham.
On 12 October 2017, a woman aged in her 20s attended the clinic for a treatment. During this treatment while she lay on the treatment table, Oladimeji sexually assaulted her. She kicked out at him and left the clinic.
Oladimeji then called her and apologised for his behaviour – the woman recorded this call and reported the matter to police.
Oladimeji was arrested on 14, October and denied the allegation; during further interview after being played the recording of his phone call to the woman, he refused to answer any questions.
Detective Sergeant Robert Jamieson of the Child Abuse and Sexual Offences Command led the investigation – he said: “Oladimeji took advantage of his professional position to abuse a client when she was in a vulnerable position.
He then tried to deny the attack, even when faced with his own admission that had been recorded without his knowledge. I would like thank the victim and acknowledge her courage throughout this investigation and hope that this sentence can bring her some form of closure.”
Davido has reacted to an exclusive report by The Cable, where it was alleged that Chioma broke up with him over an alleged infidelity.
Their Initial report reads;
The much-celebrated relationship of David ‘Davido’ Adeleke and Chioma Avril Rowland is in troubled waters, TheCable Lifestyle understands.
The lovers are said to be having incessant disagreements over alleged infidelity on the part of the superstar.
“Chioma has been complaining and they are having problems,” according to an insider in the loop of things.
TheCable Lifestyle understands that their disagreement recently reached a head when Chioma confronted the singer over allegations of impregnating yet another woman.
Before their relationship entered a rough patch, the pair was inseparable, often sharing pictures of their trips around the world.
Chioma was also known for accompanying Davido on his foreign performance engagements.
In reaction, Davido has threatened Legal action against the Media company who broke the news. Taking to his Twitter page, he wrote:
President Donald Trump hosted Kanye West and former football player and NHL Hall of Famer Jim Brown at the White House today, October 11, 2018, in Washington, DC.
Kanye West, a recording artist and a prominent Trump supporter, was at the White House to have lunch with the president and to meet with presidential son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner who has spearheaded the administration’s efforts to overhaul the criminal justice system.
Former BBNaija star, Leo Babarinde Dasilva has said he regrets alienating his late dad, Sir Leo Babarinde Dasilva Snr, during his last months alive.
Leo Dasilva lost his dad in the year 2015, and he took to social media today to remember him. He wrote;
I always avoided speaking about my father while growing up. This wasn’t because I didn’t know who he was, in fact he never hesitated to tell me exactly who I am and who he was each and every time. One major reason I avoided it was because who he was didn’t match my reality and kids would label me a liar. My reality was never what he told me or my name, my reality at the time was my struggling single mother who gave me more than she had to make me a great man.
My father taught me two important things in life on this day
1. Do not trust or rely on anyone asides yourself.
2. Don’t ever get carried away or plan your life around promises from people. One of my greatest regrets is still alienating him during his last months alive. But it won’t have been the first time. We had loads of arguments from 2009 – 2015 because I became too aware too quick. I believed all the family I needed was my mother so my dad and I could go an entire year without speaking.
I will give him credit for one thing which was I still believe was a huge gamble, telling me to start making my own money at 16 while I was living in another man’s country. Without him cutting me off, I would not have become a serial entrepreneur.
Long and short of this, I loved my Father very much and people close to him would know he loved me just as much. We had our differences but it was mostly because we were the same people. Continue to rest in peace Sir Leo Babarinde Dasilva Snr(1949-2015).
Surgery addict, Human Ken Doll Rodrigo Alves was recently arrested and handcuffed for failing to provide police with a valid passport in Germany.
The 35-year-old who was in Germany to film for a TV show for the PRO7 German TV network was arrested for carrying his old expired passport and taken to the station in handcuffs.
He was later released after a scan of his new passport was brought to the station.
Speaking after his arrest, he told MailOnline:
‘I was filming for a TV show for the PRO7 German TV network and during filming, the crew were stopped by police who asked to check our ID’s.
‘They wanted to know that we had permission from the local consul in Berlin to film in the streets.
All the paperwork for filming was fine, but I was arrested because I was accidentally carrying my old expired passport and not my new one.
‘It was not possible for the police to Face ID me because I now look so different to the photo. Someone had to bring a scan of my new passport for me to be released.’
