Jay Inslee, the 23rd Governor of Washington state, has appointed a Nigerian, Edirin Okoloko, to Snohomish County Superior Court as a judge.
“Edirin has a clear dedication to the legal profession and a successful history of bringing justice to some of our state’s most vulnerable crime victims. He will be an excellent addition to the bench in Snohomish County” Inslee said.
Okoloko will replace Judge George Bowden who is retiring. Okoloko, who bagged his Bachelor of Law from the University of Benin in Nigeria and received a law degree from the Seattle University School of Law, has worked for the past 13 years in the Snohomish County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, where he is a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney working on homicide, sexual assault, child abuse, and elder abuse cases.
He has also worked in the office’s violent crime, property crime, and District Court units, and he represents the office on the Snohomish County Multiple Agency Response Team which investigates incidents of suspected excessive force by police officers.
He has successfully prosecuted four murder trials and has been recognised by his office for completing a high volume of jury trials. Before working as a prosecutor, Okoloko served as a judicial law clerk for former Snohomish County Superior Court Judge Michael Downes.

Apparently, Simi’s mother suggests that the singer got her beautiful voice from breastfeeding which she says happened for six months.

A Kenyan pastor living in the United States has become the centre of online debate after Kenyans in the diaspora accused him of scamming them by holding three pre-weddings in succession.
The pastor identified as Stanley Mwea is said to have had two pre-weddings in different states with his previous fiancé, Susan Kangethe, whom he broke-up with just before their wedding.
The pastor identified as Stanley Mwea, is said to have had two pre-weddings in different cities with his previous fiancé.
What shocked many Kenyans living abroad is the succession with which the pre-weddings had been held and the fact that they had been talked into making contributions towards the same. He is now set to have the third pre-wedding with his current fiancé Serah Ndirangu on Saturday, November 10.
The first pre-weddings with the intentions of marrying Kangethe were held at Maryland and Massacheuts states while the fundraisers to sponsor them were held in Baltimore and Boston respectively Kenyans are now crying foul claiming the pastor is on a mission to fleece them their hard earned money in the pretense of having pre-weddings.
The pastor’s fiancee, however, defended their scheduled pre-wedding and a wedding thereafter in December 2018 while cautioning people to stop casting aspersions. She said the event will take off despite the criticisms from Kenyans whom she claimed were just detractors.
“Why do people like poking their noses in other people’s affairs?,” she posed “We really do not care what they are saying this is our life and nobody is being forced to contribute a penny, our pre- wedding will take place on November 10, 2018 come rain or sunshine, “ the bride to be added.

A dreadful error by Monaco’s third-choice goalkeeper Seydou Sy gifted Strasbourg midfielder, Adrien Thomasson, an early opener, and substitute Samuel Grandsir was sent off midway through the second half. A disappointing first half ended poorly for Henry and Monaco, as captain and star striker Radamel Falcao was forced off injured.

In a post on Facebook, the palace gave clarifications on the trending video…
“YOURA NI ASA!!!
The new Yeyeluwa wasn’t stepping on blood but OOSUN (Cam Wood). “Iyawo Elese Oosun” ….hope you remember Ayinde Barrister’s song? There’s no where in Yoruba tradition where the bride is required to step over blood as part of a wedding rite.”
A lot of Nigerians had reacted to the story after the photo surfaced on the internet and most people wondered how a prophetess would have mingled with traditions all in the name of marriage.
Although the marriage actaully generated mixed reactions as some Nigerians saw nothing wrong in her act as it is part of culture and something she must pass through just as others did in time past and she could not be an exception, despite being a prophetess of God.

”Obviously. It will because he was someone that was coming to my empire He was someone that when I said I didn’t want this relationship anymore, I felt he took it the wrong way but I had my own reasons. Because people say bad things about you should mean you should change or stop helping people”.

Popular show promoter Kogbagidi last week lashed out at YAGI Boss, Lil Kesh saying the singer didn’t have what it takes to become a leading artiste again.
While reacting to Kogbagidi’s statement, Kesh tweeted that the Internet is like a market square and those who can’t take care of their baby mamas would always want to take out their anger on others.
However, in a chat with Sunday Scoop, Kogbagidi said the singer must have taken excess alcohol when he posted the tweet.
He said:
“I am happily married and blessed with kids. I only have a woman in my life and she is not a Nigerian. If you check my Instagram page, you will see photos of my family. If he (Lil Kesh) says I have a baby mama, he must have taken something strong. My wife and children live in the United Kingdom and I visit them frequently.”
He also said Kesh had nothing on him, insisting that he only made an honest assessment of his music and growth.
The show promoter stated:
“The entertainment industry is all about talent and creativity. Over the years, a lot of new acts have been discovered and more are still coming in. After Lil Kesh left YBNL, Olamide has signed new artistes. What I said shouldn’t be an issue as I was only evaluating the industry. I don’t have anything against him and I am not trying to pull him down. I am a fan of Lil Kesh, but he is not doing well at the moment.
“He needs to be creative. He should take what I said and work on his music. If he puts out something nice, I will speak well of him. I have called him for shows many times and paid him fully. If he has taken what I said personally, it means he is not a good artiste.”
According to Kogbagidi, Kesh is below him regardless of how much he has made in life.
He said:
“I am a show promoter; I have never begged him for money and I have never owed him money for any show. I have dealt with people bigger than him in the industry. If I go to him tomorrow with a show worth N10m, he cannot reject it.”
So media personality, Toke Makinwa shared a photo on her Instagram page as is her usual wont, looking all flashy and classy while in London.

My heart is at peace ???
While some of her followers commended her fashion style, a particular troll who seems to be somewhat of a pervert, decided to state that her caption is as a result of music producer, Don Jazzy ‘knacking’ her.
The user, thelifeofpresh wrote, @donjazzy Off finally knack dis one
Upon seeing it, the MAVINs producer replied him,
@thelifeofpresh this kind of mindset can hinder your growth financially spiritually physically sir.
Reality TV star Bambam has disclosed that though she was evicted at the early stage of the competition but she felt so much relieved of the entire stress and happenings in the house.
She made this revelation in a new interview with Sunday Punch, where she also talked about her educational background, career and future aspirations.
Read excerpts from interview below:
Background
I am the first of two children born into a religious family; I have a younger brother. My father was in the military and my mother is a retired nurse.
My father was a diplomat and that afforded us the opportunity to travel around the world. At different times, I lived in the USA, France, UK, and other countries in Europe. I have great memories of my life as a kid but I have more memorable experiences as an adult. I had a basic upbringing and our parents were very protective of us.
Education
For my elementary education, I attended Nigerian Navy Primary School, Apapa, Lagos State. I went to La Folie St. James, Paris, France, for my post-elementary education. I got admission to Igbinedion University, Okada, Edo State, as a medical student, but later got a direct entry admission into The Bells University, Ota, Ogun State, where I bagged a second class upper degree in Microbiology.
Acting
I got into the movie industry when I came to Lagos from Abuja in 2017 and enrolled at the Royal Arts Academy. While in school, I featured in my first movie titled, The Backup Wife, by Uduak Isong, where I acted alongside Seun Akindele and Bimbo Ademoye.
Big Brother Naija
I auditioned for the previous edition of the reality show in Abuja but didn’t make it in. After film school, I decided to give it another shot; this time, in Lagos. I remember the night I got called; I was actually house-hunting. I’d just finished film school and wasn’t sure I wanted to go back to Abuja. Although I was a bit nervous, I was still very excited.
I didn’t believe I could get called, especially because I was quite different from other contestants at the audition. Getting into the house, I was homesick for some days but because of my adaptive nature, I was able to get by. Sadly, when there was tension in the house, it sort of wore me out. I didn’t enjoy the negativity that went around. When I got my eviction from Big Brother Naija, it felt like a gush of fresh air.
Parents’ reaction
My parents were not supportive of me going into the house but I was doing the exercise for myself and over time, they got to understand that. Of course, they weren’t excited that their child was in a reality TV show but as a grown up lady who is responsible for her own decisions, they got to respect that.
Challenges
The only challenge I’ve had since leaving the house is trying to balance my new reality, though nothing has really changed. The hustle is the same but there’s just a bigger platform that has put me out there to be known and seen by more people.
Fame
Fame has made me more grounded because there’s the likelihood to get carried away if one is not careful. I like to pride myself as a planner and dreamer; an ambitious person. Before film school and Big Brother, I had made up my mind to achieve my goals and BBN was a means to an end for that. I wouldn’t say fame came to me by surprise; I wanted to be picked.
Other interests
Big Brother is in the past but I’m still acting. I’m also an entrepreneur. I own the Bam Beauty Product line. I am working on a partnership because money must be made and it would be nice to stay relevant for a long time.
Although acting is my first love, I can’t depend solely on it. Luckily, with running my own businesses, I cannot succumb to silly demands in the industry. I’m seen as a style and brand influencer, among other things.
Role models
Some of my role models are Meryl Streep, Kerry Washington, Taraji P. Henson, Victoria Beckham, Oprah Winfrey, Mahatma Ghandi, Mother Theresa, and Mo Abudu. Jesus Christ is a big mentor also, because He spent all His life doing good and it is my desire to be a blessing like Him.
Hobbies
I love watching movies and travelling. I also love having great conversations and interestingly, I love spending time with puppies. I like painting and singing as well. Of course, you can’t take away the joy of spending time with loved ones. Finally, I love to learn new things.
Fashion
I am a creative and expressive person, so I see fashion as an extension of myself. What I wear defines my mood at any given moment. I am generally attracted to comfortable and smart outfits. Sometimes, when I’m in the mood for it, I could choose to go in dramatic outfits, like what I wore to the AMVCA 2018.
Curvy Actress, Pat Ugwu has declared that real men only have intercourse with their partner, just once..
Not many women feel so free to discuss sex, let alone how many rounds they could handle in a night. But this is not the case with Pat Ugwu.
Pat, unleashed the bomb in an Instagram post with sensuous pictures, saying real men only go one round.
“Real men do one round and sleep, but the jobless ones will hit it overnight like they are releasing their poverty inside your honey pot”, she wrote.
For many women around the world, any man who lacks the capacity to last long in bed is considered lazy and poor in bed, but it appears this line of thinking doesn’t jell with the screen diva.
Knocks, kudos trail age differences among couples Pat Ugwu is one of the most daring upcoming actresses in Nollywood.
Her Instagram handle @patpatugwu is replete with sensuous pictures of her, flaunting her well-shaped backside. Apart from acting, she writes, sings, dances and models.
The Cable Lifestyle then added to the wound when they reported exclusively what may seem to be a rumor, to be true.. They claim the relatioship between the two lovers may have ended on a sour note, after the singer impregnated yet another lady… which of course made Chioma have sleepless nights, that she had to call it quit.
But according to Sunday Scoop also spoke with some friends and associates of the pop star, they denied being aware of any crack in the relationship.
One of Davido’s aides, who is usually with the singer, but spoke on condition of anonymity, said:
“If I had a dime for every time there have been rumours about Davido, I guess I would be the richest person in Africa by now.
I don’t know why Nigerians don’t like to celebrate good news. They always prefer bad news and that’s so sad. Which other artiste is flaunting their relationship as much as David shows off Chioma? They are truly in love with each other and nothing can shake them.
Some people are just trying to sow a seed of discord into their relationship but it will not work. I can tell you for free that I have never seen David as happy as he is whenever he is with Chioma. They understand each other and that’s what counts the most. The more rumours are spread about their relationship, the stronger the love between them gets.”
Another close friend of the Skelewu singer, who preferred not to be named, said:
“Ordinarily, I don’t respond to rubbish news like that but I will answer you because of the respect I have for you. I was with both of them over the weekend and everything is cool between them. Let outsiders keep saying whatever they want, those who are close to the couple know that their relationship is on a solid footing.”
The Senior Special adviser to the President on Diaspora and Foreign Affairs Hon. Abike Dabiri Erewa has reiterated that the present administration is committed to improving the nation’s healthcare system through liaising with Nigerian doctors in Diaspora.
She said this at the Nigeria Health Watch annual Future Health Conference themed ‘The Diaspora as Nigerians Brain Gain’ in Abuja.
She noted that Nigerians in Diaspora are very relevant to Nigeria, adding that “they possess immeasurable resources as they present expertise in their related area of profession.”
“They are usually the top performers in their fields in any country, so leaving us for a while has value as they present credible resources and experience that can propel the development of our nation and project the image of the nation in a positive way”
She further called on Nigerian doctors in Diaspora who have gained landmark achievements in other countries to come back and strengthen the Nigeria healthcare system.
“With this structured plan, we do not have to solely rely on our developmental partners to help solve our problems we have the capability to solve these problems ourselves. We are relying on Nigerians healthcare givers that have gained landmark in other countries to come back home and strengthen our healthcare system.” She said.
The Future of Health Conference is a leading platform that sets actionable roadmaps to move the Nigerian health sector forward with this year’s focus on Diaspora leveraging their specialty to building networks that will strengthen the Nigeria health sector.
Speaking at the event, Dr Ifeanyi Nsofor, Director of Policy and Advocacy, Nigeria Health Watch called on Nigerian doctors in Diaspora to see the opportunities in Nigeria’s health ecosystem and seek ways to leverage their expertise in building a good network aimed at strengthening the Nigeria’s health sector.
The Nigeria Medical Association on its part noted that it is in continuous collaboration with Diaspora doctors on Continuous Professional Developmental aimed at synergizing the health sector, Dr Tonnie Okoye, National Strategic Program Manager for the Nigeria Medical Association revealed.
He however lamented the communication gap between doctors based in Nigeria and those abroad while calling on Nigerian doctors based both in Nigeria and abroad to give in their best to improve quality of life in the country.

The mother of whose son, a notorious robber was killed has opened on his criminal lifestyle which reportedly led to his death.
The 21-year-old man identified as Lelethu Manini from Cape Town, South Africa, who robbed people, was killed last Sunday. His family suspects a robbery went wrong or that his friends were involved.
The mother of the deceased, Funeka Manini, who revealed she’s relived following her son’s death, said:
“It is only right to feel bad about what has happened because he was my son. I never wanted him to be a skollie (hoodlum) but I knew something like this would happen some time because of the life he was living.
“He was shot this year but continued to do bad things.”
Funeka was at church when her family came to fetch her. She immediately knew something bad had happened to her son.
“My gut told me my son was dead because the past few days were tough. “We haven’t been able to sleep because of his friends. “I was living in fear because the drugs he was using controlled him so he would sell everything he could find in the house.”
Anathi Nkampule (46) said residents are happy.
“Some would say we don’t have hearts but these kids are terrorising us and taking what we have worked hard for, just for drugs.”
He said they feel for Funeka because she never sent her son to steal from people.
“We know he sold her belongings when he wanted tik. God took him, which is good for all of us. May he rest in peace since we are also going to have peace now.”
Still fresh in our memory, you would recall that Wizkid’s first baby mama, Shola wrote about her ordeal at the hands of the popular singer.
