An On-air-personality has just shared a touching story of how Toke Makinwa whose birthday is today, once replaced his entire salary that was stolen.
Osikhena Dirisu III who works with Beat99.9fm Lagos, has narrated how Toke Makinwa gifted him his entire salary which was stolen from him.
This was surely a very kind gesture which, Osikhena Dirisu III can never forget.
Taking to his IG page the OAP uploaded the above picture of Toke sharing the story of he she saved him.
7 years ago. I was doing my NYSC at 93.7fm Lagos and Toke was an OAP there. That is how our friendship started. After my NYSC i got my present Job at the Beat 99.9fm and Toke was so happy for me as we still stayed in touch. I was required to open a GTB or diamond acc at Beat for my salary. And i only had my NYSC access account. So that first month i was paid in cash ?
It was a lot of money for a 23 year old and i stupidly kept it in my back pack and went for some event that required i drop my bag at the security post.
Long story short my entire salary was stolen and i cried ehn. I cried to toke and she drove me inbtwn telling me off and chiding me to an ATM in her black honda accord and gave me everything that was stolen. She probably doesnt remember.
But its something id never forget. As you add another year today @tokemakinwa may God’s blessings be never far from you. May his grace follow you on every side. Happy birthday baby girl.
Nigerian controversial journalist, Kemi Olunloyo, has reacted to Laura Ikeji’s claim of telling lies against her sister, Linda Ikeji.
Recall that we reported yesterday, that Laura Ikeji wrote;
“So many lies being carried around, a child is any woman’s biggest achievement. My sister is very happy and in a beautiful space, how low can u go? You know yourselves, you’re the supposed classy ones, how low?? Leave us alone fam, we ‘re one big happy family. We ‘re good over here fam. FOH #somanyliesitsbecomingchildish #classlessbunch #wearegoodoverhere #doyouletsdous #icantkeepquietanymore #fakenews #foh”
However reacting to Laura Ikeji’s claims in the above comment, Kemi Olunloyo who advised the fashion entrepreneur to stop blocking her fans, reiterated her earlier claims of ‘Linda Ikeji never entering a hospital to deliver her baby.’
The journalist also said she will be dishing out a new gossip surrounding the marriage of Laura Ikeji to Ogbonna Kanu. She wrote;
#HNNGossip resumes tomorrow afternoon. #HNNHealth in the morning. I will be dishing you the latest on Laura Ikeji’s marriage to Kanu, Adeleke’s new cryptic song with Anidugbe and more… And more…about the Nkwerre villagers called #Ikejis GOODNIGHT!
Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari was yesterday, issued a school certificate by the West African Examination Council.
In preparation for the 2019 Presidential Election, it was pertinent that the President produced his SSCE certification which is one of minimum requirements to contest for office (Buhari swore an affidavit in place of the certificate in 2015).
However, after the news made rounds, some Nigerians suspected foul play in the proceedings as they wanted to know why the President’s current passport photograph was used in the certificate for an exam which was allegedly written in 1961.
How Buhari wrote WAEC in 1961 with bald head, should be in Guinness book of world records.
First you say your original WAEC result is with the military, then WAEC suddenly re issues you one which is against WAEC Law. After forging the result you forget to add Mathematics in it.
WAce has now explained why the president’s current passport appeared on the certificate, saying that since it is an attestation and not the original certificate, the passport photograph that was submitted during application is the one that would appear on the certificate when ready.
Waec tweeted ;
Let’s educate ourselves a bit:
1. President Buhari was given Attestation of Results not a certificate;
2. Attestation of Results is given to a candidate whose certificate is damaged or missing;
3. It carries the passport photo the candidate submitted during application.

In a video posted online, Sunday alleged that some persons, believed to be assassins, came to their home on the day of the incident and killed the deceased.
In his words
”I am not the one that killed him. About four people entered the house that morning. They passed through the front door and opened the kitchen door. Immediately I asked who is that. They blew my face and neck and then started to drag me on the floor. They asked me where was chief? I used to call him Oga. So I asked them who be chief? I told them Chief is inside his room. They said where is his wife? I said his wife had gone out. They told me if I don’t say the truth, they would kill me. They blew me again and immediately I pointed to Chief’s room”
A Nigerian Lady has shared how she escaped being used for rituals.

Taking to her Whatsapp Story, she wrote:

So, I told the driver I wanna highlight, and the man said in Yoruba (Oti di oun etutu), which means I would be used for sacrifice.
I was dumb for like 30 seconds, that was when I knew I was in deep shit… I started thinking of my life… Is this how I’m gonna die, is this how I won’t have my PHD, different thoughts was running through my mind and I don’t even know the ones to stick with at the time.
During this period, my phone had been collected and we are blind folded and tied, you know the normal drill. I couldn’t even shed a tear, I was busy thinking of how to escape once we arrive to the destination, thinking of different skills and shii.
We got to the destination and they they said let’s start with the fair lady, (in Yoruba) in my mind I was like this is end, so they started arguing amongst themselves, I could hear 2 female voice and 2 different male voices. They kept on arguing for a while and I have definitely lost track of time during this period.
They received a phone call but obviously I couldn’t hear the conversation, to cut the story short, one of the kidnappers said (ogbeni yii ma slow waa down ni sha) I was already happy for a second and they kept us all in a room, meanwhile, two of the male kidnappers were still arguing about he wanting to sleep with all the ladies before killing us.
The lady that kept us in the room forgot to lock it well, in short we found a way to escape and we found oursleves in IFO local government, here I am thanking God for my life.

“I have talked about this gay issue endlessly and I am tired. People always accuse handsome men of being gay.
“I have played the role of being gay in three movies so maybe they are accusing me because I did justice to the roles. I am a versatile actor, so I was just being professional.

“I took the picture for a movie. I have been living with this allegation and it is not fair; God will judge the people judging me. Whoever thinks he has clean hands should cast the first stone.

A 32-year-old man who had been raping women in Kaduna State, including his own mother, has, at last been, arrested by the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Special Squad.
Shekari David, who allegedly raped his mother and mother-in -law, has blamed his action on alcohol.
Currently detained at the Katari Police Division in Kaduna State, the suspect confessed that he had, on two occasions raped his own mother aged 65, and his mother in-law 70 in the dead of the night, while they were sleeping.
He said his behaviour made his wife to abandon him for another man. David said: “I am a farmer and I was once married, but my wife abandoned me due to my penchant for raping old women.
I don’t know if I am under a spell but whenever I am drunk, a spirit comes into me and I will be going around town looking for women to rape. ‘I have been beaten up over this issue severally, yet, I can’t still control myself whenever I get drunk.
I raped my mother during our last Moroha Festival, when I got drunk. I couldn’t find any old woman to rape and when I got home, I found my mother sleeping and I penetrated and raped her.
My mother screamed when she saw me on top of her and our neighbours gathered. Everyone saw that I was drunk and when I became sober I begged her to forgive me and she accepted.
Not long after that, I attended another festival in my wife’s community known as Mahuta and I became drunk again; in the dead of the night I went to my ex-wife mother’s house and found her sleeping and I raped her.
When the woman woke up and saw me on top of her, she shouted and people came around, and caught me. I was given the beating of my life before I was asked to go.
I don’t know what usually comes over me when I am drunk. That spirit is what normally pushes me to rape old women.”

A 21-year-old woman, Shannon Barnard, was stabbed 46 times by her cheating husband, Michael and suffered multiple injuries to her limbs and body, including her lungs, liver and bowels.
Both her lungs collapsed and she has also been left with substantial scarring which may require skin grafts.
Mrs Barnard, who spent 17 days in hospital, later told police she felt ‘every blow’ and thought she would die, with doctors saying she was ‘extremely fortunate’ to have survived.
But in an unbelievable twist, a Maidstone Crown Court in Kent heard yesterday that she has forgiven her husband and plans to start a family with him on his release from prison.
Speaking during Barnard’s sentencing hearing for attempted murder, she replied when asked how she saw their future:
‘Just to be together and have the life that we both want with each other and have a family.’
The court heard she had also been visiting Barnard in prison ‘on every occasion possible’, and plans to see him twice weekly now he has enhanced status.
She agreed with his barrister David Taylor that he had told her he was sorry and how much he loved her, and when asked if she forgave him, Mrs Barnard replied: ‘Of course.’
Jailing Barnard, Judge Philip Statman said: ‘Your wife was extraordinarily lucky to have survived this ordeal.
‘The reason why she did so was down to the very quick medical response together with the extraordinary skill of the surgeons who undoubtedly in my judgment saved her life.

To dispute Bobrisky’s claim, King Hollywood shared screenshots to prove that it was N100K that was paid to the popular Nigerian crossdresser.
He wrote;
Bobrisky you a scammer and a liar. My boss @princehollywood147 didn’t mention the amount because he wanted you to tell your own side of story with your usual lies. My boss knew nothing about my transaction with you until the business deal we had soured. I even told one of your friends you respect and she talked to you about the deal and you pleaded you will start with the promotion.
I had chatted you 3 months ago and we had a call to establish trust after someone recommended you, I am the manager to Esquare and Esquare gave me money for their song promotion and I decided to use some of the money to try you out, we concluded 100k which you were gonna promote for 1 week after you had told me it’s 400k for a month but I said lets do one week and see how it goes. We never mentioned 50k in our conversation and my chat and transfer slip will show how of a bloody liar and a scammer you are. Maybe the gender disorder you have has disoriented your brain to the extent you couldn’t remember you collected 100k and now tried to make it look like it’s 50k. All the deal you had was with me and the money was not mine but my boss @princehollywood147 .
You made me send you the money after you had promised me that you will start uploading that same day you got the money. Immediately you confirmed you got the money, you never chatted me for weeks.One day turned one week and I was patient enough and one week turned one month and one month turned 2 months. You changed your phone number and after I had chatted you severally on instagram, you promised to start with the job that you were going through emotional disturbances due to UK deporting you.
I understood what you were going through even though you abandoned the job you were paid for to go flex in London. You sent me your new number and promised again you will start the job last week which I have been waiting for since and without any tangible story for me to pass to my boss and he decided to let the cat out. Bobrisky stop scamming people and I have our WhatsApp, Instagram and audio voice chats. With this post you made now, people can now tell that you are a bloody liar and nothing about you is real. This is part 1

A 38-year-old Nigerian man identified as Glen Thomas, has been arrested by the India Narcotics Control Bureau after he couriered drugs concealed in machine parts.
The suspect who couriered a parcel containing 200 grams of methamphetamine to a person in Doha, Qatar, was arrested by officials of India Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) officials in Chennai, India on Wednesday.
The suspect who told the NCB officials that he received the consignment from another Nigerian in Delhi which he concealed in machine parts, reportedly worked as a ‘facilitator’ for patients coming from abroad for treatment in hospitals in Chennai.
Confirming Glen’s arrest, officials who verified his documents disclosed that the suspect stayed in a rented room with his friend, also a Nigerian, in Medavakkam. The suspect’s friend was accused of overstaying after the expiration of his visa.
Barely two days the Lagos police declared a young Togolese wanted for allegedly killed his boss, has finally been arrested.
The suspect was arrested, this morning, at his hideout in Ondo State and he is currently at Fagun Police station, Ondo.
Chief Ope Bademosi, a socialite and Chairman of Credit Switch Technology, employed the young man as his cook, on Sunday.
He, however, killed him in the early hours of Wednesday, at his residence in #Ikoyi, Lagos, and fled with his valuables. The deceased was reportedly found in a pool of blood, with multiple stab wounds.
“When we got inside, we saw the man in a pool of blood with the volume of music increased to the highest level,” a neighbour said.
In an interview with a homicide investigation officer, a source said: “This is very wicked. In fact, that guy must be a devil itself. He stabbed the man in multiple places. I was the first to enter the apartment.
In fact, the music was so loud that even if you were to be killing 20 people here, no one would hear them scream. After committing the act, the guy went to the toilet and pulled off the white uniform meant for cooks he was wearing because it was all stained with blood.
He also left the knife he used inside the toilet there. If you see the knife, it’s a very strong, long and sharp knife that could only be authorized for military personnel.
Afterward, he ransacked the whole apartment and carted away all valuables he could lay his hands on including an unaccountable sum of money, jewelries and the deceased phone.
What baffles us more is that, no one seems to know anything about him because he was only employed few days ago and brought from Ondo state to resume just this last Sunday. And they only know him by his first name, which is Sunday.”
A man, whose identity was yet to be fully established, reportedly parked his car on the bridge and jumped into the lagoon.
The yet to be identified man, reportedly told occupants of the car he was driving that he wanted to ease himself but went on to jump into the lagoon beneath Third Mainland Bridge to everyone’s surprise.
Eyewitnesses further alleged that the Marine Police, Lagos state government rescue boats and local divers who were mobilized after the incident which caused a traffic gridlock in the area, recovered the body of the ‘lagoon jumper’ after RRS riders got to the scene almost immediately and radioed for assistance.
