Nollywood teenage actress, Regina Daniels has taken to her Instagram page to make a plea to fans and followers to stop hurting celebrities as she says they are human and they feel hurt too from the words spoken to them.
Regina Daniel, in her post, reminded the cyber-bullies of the fact that some of the celebrities might be going through pains in their homes, which no one might know of, but still the fans add more salt to their injury by trolling them every now and then.
She wrote:
Pls I took out one minute from my time to say this from my heart:
Celebrities are human, we have feelings like every normal person, we struggled to make it in life, not everyone is born a star, its a gift from God, while some struggled and made it in life. I wasnt born with a silver spoon, my mother and siblings struggled so hard to push me.
I am a student and God favored me with working everyday. I came out with the best result in my department and level, was given an award and some people said i bought it and all that, what will i ever do that will make you guys see only the positive part ?.
Come rain, come sun i struggle at a very tender age to make sure I make the world proud, my mother and family, some people say stars don’t shine for long but mine will take me places, i am just starting my life.
You all dunno what we are going through in our various homes, then some people will come on ur page and call you cheap, prostitutes, this and that.
I never proved to be good enough for everyone but am the best for everyone who understand me. In the aspect of you all saying we don’t reply positive comments on our page, we all work but we do not fail to post to keep y’all updated.
I wanna say a very big thank you to my lovers that appreciates my efforts…. being a celebrity is not as easy as you think because we always have to be cautious of everything we do, where we go, how we dress, and all that.
CELEBRITIES DESERVE SOME ACCOLADES.
What hurts me the most are mothers, that comes to my page and call me names forgetting they can actually give birth to me 10times PLS LEARN TO ENCOURAGE US.
A fake SARS officer who has been identified as Tijani Omeka, and poses as Corporal Tijani, has been arrested in Abuja.
According to a report by The Nation, the suspect, a taxi driver, operates within Mararaba, Area 1 axis of Abuja and extorts money from his victims.
The Deputy Commissioner in charge of Criminal Intelligence and Investigation Department, DCP Salisu Gyadi-Gyadi, said Omeka was arrested after the police got a tip off from some of those he had defrauded.
He said:
“We recovered from him one black faz cap with the inscription SARS and a walkie-talkie.”
However, on his part, Omeka said:
“I found the walkie-talkie from SARS premises on the floor and the cap belongs to one of the Operatives. The policemen are my friends and they usually use my service whenever they go on operation because I’m a taxi driver. I travelled and the cap was with me for about three months because I was out of Abuja. I took my car for repairs with the intention of going to drop the cap and walkie-talkie after they fix my car but I was still at the mechanic when they arrested me.”

Actress, Genevieve Nnaji has been interviewed by CNN’s Richard Quest after her first movie, Lionheart, as a director was bought by Netflix, making it the very first original Nigerian movie to be acquired by the movie sharing platform.
On the eve of the premiere of Genevieve Nnaji’s directorial debut film, “Lion Heart” at the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival, movie sharing platform, Netflix announced a deal to acquire the movie on its channel.
This made “Lionheart” the first original film from Nigeria to be owned by the American movie streaming platform.
Speaking with Richard Quest on Tuesday night, Genevieve shared how she was able to gather funds for the production of the movie and the chances of Nollywood gaining global acceptance.
On how she was able to put the movie together:
“For money, we had to self-fund unfortunately, she says, we don’t have adequate funding for movies that we actually intend to go global, there isn’t that provision yet.”
She also explained that Nollywood stands a good chance of going global anytime soon, but she sees language as the only problem that stands as a barrier.
Lion Heart premiered at the TIFF Festival 2018 on Saturday, September 2018.
A young man identified as Kingsley Ekene Iwuoha died after he was attacked and shot dead by suspected gunmen in Owerri, Imo State capital.
His friend, Ajuonuma Wilson shared a quite heartbreaking post on Facebook which reads,
“What would life be without you my brother and my friend?…. I waited so long to do this because I never believed it. I rushed you to the hospital after they attacked us and shot you, the nurses gave me hope, the doctor came and also gave me hope, but after 10mins the doctor told me we lost you. I cried loudly, thinking my loud cry could reach you and make you come back. I stayed with your dead body for over 4 hours, yet you didn’t wake up. I declined any option of taking you to the mortuary. I wanted to be with your dead body. Even when I finally took you to the mortuary, I was thinking you will wake up at the entrance door. I didn’t leave the mortuary, I was waiting to hear that you woke up. The next morning I came with your father, thinking you would see him and wake up. But all was to no avail. It should have been better they took the two vehicles than taking your life. You have been a wonderful friend and brother. My best friend. My gist partner. All our plans are gone….no I will go get them. I assure you Don. Farewell my brother. Till we meet to part no more. RIP.
Other friends took to Facebook to pay tribute to him as they mourn his death.
A US based Nigerian photographer, with the handle, @iamtberry on Instagram, took to the platform few hours ago to out Nigerian singer, Davido.
According to the photographer, the singer supposedly displayed some sorta misdemeanor at an event and so he took to his page to out him.
Calling him ‘trash’ et all, the photographer accused Davido of acting immaturely at the event… he shared this on his page,
Lmfao when I tell people Davido is trash! They don’t believe
I’ll give you a list
-had an attitude the whole time
-didn’t connect with fans
-people went up and asked for pictures and he would roll his eyes
-looked mad asf the whole time
– had his friend tell one of my friends that he wanted to fuck her
So much for chioma my lova right ?
After the report made the rounds online, the singer reached out to to him and confronted him concerning the whole issue as it feels as if he, @iamtberry is set out to spoil his image.
The photographer then apologized to Davido and then said it was all jokes, see the screenshots he shared below,
As embarrassing and disgusting as farting may be, it is a way for the body to release gas which builds up in the body when food gets digested.
But gas can’t be held back forever and trapping it inside can cause damage to digestive health. While no one likes to be in a stinky situation, gas can get reabsorbed in the body if it doesn’t find a way out and can even escape through the mouth, reports deccanchronicle.com.
If held in for too long, it can just find its way out in form of an uncontrollable fart which can be even more humiliating.
When food is digested in the small intestine, components which can’t be broken down move to the large intestine where bacteria break them down by fermentation producing gases in the process.
Holding back this gas can cause a build up of pressure leading to abdominal distension. Some gas gets reabsorbed in circulation and is exhaled.
Nigerian actress, singer and former Big Brother Naija contestant, Bisola, looked quite pretty as she flaunted her makeup-free face in recent photos she shared on her page.

A Muslim preacher has sparked an outrage after he declared that it’s a ‘major sin’ for a wife to refuse sex with her husband.
Nassim Abdi, a fundamentalist preacher in Sydney, Australia told an Auburn mosque in the city’s west, that a woman would be ‘cursed’ by angels for refusing her husband’s demands for sex
‘If the husband calls the wife to be intimate and there’s no legitimate reason for the woman to say no, then she must answer the call of her husband,’ he said on Friday night.
‘She must answer the call of her husband and if not she has committed a major sin.
‘If the man calls the wife to bed and she refuses, the angels curse this woman and he sleeps with her whilst he’s angry, the angels curse her until she wakes up.’
His statement has sparked major concern among Feminists, with long-time feminist Eva Cox describing him as a ‘nutter’ for disrespecting women’s rights.
‘Somebody needs to inform the preacher that he’s preaching something which is illegal,’ she told Daily Mail Australia.
‘Preaching something which is illegal maybe should be banned. I’m sorry we’ve got these nutters.’
Macquarie University research professor Catharine Lumby, a gender adviser with the National Rugby League, described the sermon as ‘hate speech’.
‘That kind of speech should be investigated. I believe in freedom of speech but I believe in limits to freedom of speech where violence is being advocated,’ she said.
‘It is absolutely against the law in this country what he’s advocating. It’s a form of hate speech.’
While Professor Lumby said Mr. Abdi’s sermon could encourage Muslim men to commit domestic violence.
‘I would say it’s incitement to commit a criminal offence: if your wife doesn’t submit, then you still have the right to take her. That is a crime under Australian law,’ she said.
‘Shocking. The more I think about what this fundamentalist preacher said, in a way he’s advocating a form of domestic violence.’

In an era of smartphones embedded with sci-fic movie-like technology and aspects of functionality we never dreamed of 10 years ago, the market has become immensely competitive and most brands struggle to keep their heads above water after being barraged by incessant demands from their consumers.
There’s a saying that goes “If you can’t stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen”. This statement as simple as it is sounds encapsulates the present cutthroat scenario within the smartphone ecosystem. However, there’s always that individual who doubles as a chef and has mastered the heat intensity in the kitchen by putting together several delightful ingredients to create something magnificent for its recipients.
In this instance, the chef is Infinix Mobility and the delicacy is the Infinix Note 5 stylus that was launched recently on the 10th of September 2018 with brand ambassador, Davido as the face of the device.
The Infinix Note 5 stylus is the direct successor of the “Beyond Intelligent” Note 5 that was launched back in June and it quickly became a favourite amongst smartphone users due to its faultless features such as the FHD+ 18:9 display screen, MediaTek MT6763W chipset with Octa-Core processor, 2.0GHz paired with 32GB internal storage, 3GB of RAM, Android One OS and A.I Camera.
“The Intelligent Creator “Infinix Note 5 stylus – Some sequels are just better than the first instalment
Most movies usually have sequels that have better impact than the first part as they are in most instances, better and more improved. You guessed it right! The Infinix Note 5 stylus also known as “The Intelligent Creator” is the sequel that blew away the first instalment to smithereens as it serves as a massive improvement on the Note 5.
The Infinix Note 5 stylus also possesses similar features to the Note 5 as it also comes with 6.0-inch FHD+ 18:9 display screen, 2.5D front glass, MT6763 processor chipset, A.I Camera that automatically recognizes your environment within seconds and various light shades in a bid to pick the best suitable settings for high-quality images.
And best believe that the Note 5 stylus also runs on the Android One OS that guarantees that every functional aspect of the device is programmed with A.I (Artificial Intelligence) so you still get the Google Assistant that performs tasks seamlessly from your phone, Google Lens that gives quick and easy information on popular landmarks.
In terms of difference from the Infinix Note 5, the Note 5 stylus comes with 4000mAh battery with XCharge that ensures up to 2 days usage on a single charge, 4GB RAM/64GB ROM and the most ingenuous smartphone add-on yet, the Infinix X-Pen that is attached to the body of the device and serves as tool to showcase your craft and skill. The Infinix Note 5 stylus Pen is thinner, easier to use and more effective as you can use it to draw, scribble, make creative designs, take notes and so much more.
The Infinix Note 5 stylus comes in colour variants such as Bordeaux Red, Charcoal Blue, Champagne Gold and perusing the device from physical build to its features, it’s clear to see the ruthless work ethic of Infinix Mobility to give its users smartphone that exude premium class, style and Intelligence.

The Minister of Transportation and Director general of the Buhari campaign organization, Rotimi Amaechi has said Nigerians will enjoy 24 hours power supply if President Buhari is re-elected in 2019.
Amaechi disclosed this during an interactive session with the media in Abuja on Tuesday September 11th.
Speaking on why Buhari and the APC government deserves second term, Amaechi said;
“There is also an improvement in power. We have from 3000megawatt to 7000 but we are distributing 5000 because some of the Infrastructures are not in good state but we are slowly fixing them.
The expectation is that it should be 24 hours power supply but there will still be a gap but if you give us a second term, that gap will be closed.”
Speaking further, the former Rivers state governor said;
“Nigerians have taught me a lesson I learnt in politics and that is why nothing bothers me again. The people praising you today, if you see them when you are out of power, you will be shocked. Those singing hallelujah and hosanna will still be the same people to shout crucify him tomorrow.
“We have done much more than transport. In terms of Corruption; this economy was a rent economy. Public money was spent anyhow and it was an economy that was not worked hard for. That is why you see politicians today very rich and one year after government, they are poor. They are like that because they don’t know how to manage the money.
“When Buhari came, he said no and that we cannot continue to spend anyhow. Buhari has not said people should not steal, he has rather kept quiet to see who can steal because there is a consequence for stealing.
“I don’t want to say it has stopped completely but it has reduced. Before, there were so many empty houses in Abuja. People were building and speculating that new politicians will come in and buy but we came in and could not buy because of the economy. So if you say Buhari has not done anything on corruption, you are being most unfair.
“Also, the 2016 budget was 6percent capita but we are doing 20 percent capita now. We are doing 80 percent recurrent and 20 percent capital. We believe that in the next two to three years, we will get to 30 percent capital and we will get there if we reduce the current expenditure and deal with wastage.”
“It is also unfair if Nigerians think the ministry of works is not working. The road to Bonny was abandoned after Obasanjo left government.
“The road was below N39bn but it is now N120bn. When I was Governor, I wrote to federal government under Jonathan that I wanted to do the road for N39bn but they didn’t reply me.
“My final year as governor, energy wrote that they will take care of 50 percent of the bill and I wrote again to the Federal Government but they didn’t reply because I was in APC. Now that the Federal government wants to do it, the cost is now N120bn.
“So, Buhari government is dealing with corruption, building roads. The worst roads in Nigeria used to be between Uyo and Calabar but it has been awarded.
“The road to Enugu too that people are complaining about, contractors are working on the roads already. The work may be slow but they are working. When we came oil was $28 per barrel and our budget was $35 and suddenly it dropped but the Minister of Budget managed it for us to survive. Now oil is $74 but we still have not reached $110. If we get to that, things will change rapidly. Also the Ilorin-Jebba road. So many roads have been awarded.”
Super Eagles stars Alex Iwobi and Wilfred Ndidi have rocked the new Wizkid, Starboy jersey by sportswear giants Nike, after the official launch on Monday.
Both players represented Nigeria at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
Also, Arsenal forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang modelled the jersey through a post on his official Instagram account.
Iwobi, who was ruled out of Saturday’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Seychelles in Victoria by injury, posted a picture of him in the merchandise along with a message, “S T A R B O Y, Together Let’s Push & Create Something Iconic.”
Wizkid said his jersey in partnership with Nike was sold out in less than 10 minutes. Leicester City’s Kelechi Iheanacho and Stoke City’s Oghenekaro Etebo earlier modeled the merchandise.
A Nigerian man has taken to social media to speak against the flogging of married man who raped 9-year-old girl in Bayelsa.
According to him,99% of what is on social media are cooked and as such the man might not have raped the 9-year-old girl – adding that, Nigerians like to take laws into their hands and its bad.
He wrote;
“Yes he did something very bad, and as well deserves punishment thats if all you said is true, cozz 99% of what we see on social media are cooked, Y’all saying he deserves this am still sure most of you do things like this secretly, just the based and focused one is he whose own is exposed, No one deserves to be disgraced like this, and we nigerians taking laws into our hands is too bad, Let him face the law not treating him like this…..Lets try loving, if there is love in our nation most of this things like will never happen…. This is bad”
This is not the first or the tenth case of child rape that has been reported in Bayelsa State in the last one year.
Many of the cases remain unreported and there are reasons for this, one of which is the stigma associated with it.
A man identified as Afaha Obong, committed suicide in Ikot Akpan Ikpong, Akwa Ibom state yesterday September 11th, moments after he chewed his SIM card.
According to reports, the deceased who is married with children, was found dangling on a cocoa tree behind his uncle’s house.
His SIM card was found in his mouth and the reason behind his grave action is yet to be ascertained.
Rapper, Nicki Minaj has no doubt, been a regular face at the 2018 New York Fashion Week and on Tuesday, she made it a family affair.
The 35-year-old star brought her mother Carol Maraj as her date as they attended the Oscar De La Renta fashion show together. The show was held at Spring Studios Terrace on September 11, 2018 in New York City.
The duo certainly turned heads at the event as they twinned with their wet blonde hair.
Nigerians have reacted since reports emerged hours ago that Billionaire businessman, Femi Otedola is likely to run for the Lagos State governorship election under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
It should be recalled that Media Mogul, Dele Momodu confirmed that Otedola accepted PDP governorship ticket to contest against Governor Akinwunmi Ambode in forthcoming 2019 elections.
The report has since had tongues wagging with diverse opinions on social media – some Nigerians welcomed Otedola’s intention, describing it as a new development for politics in Lagos State.
Here are some comments gathered by DAILY POST from Twitter:
@Dhejjo “Still one way bro, we all know APC had deep rooted hands in Lagos politics, and Fashola regime was still a good campaign story for them.”
@Suleiman1529 “This is a welcome twist to the 2019 gubernatorial election in Lagos state. More interesting candidates for the position of the governorship seat will surely emerge.”
@JoeAkogun “With Ambode, Lagos is intact, No tens of Otedola can do anything. Lagosians don’t even know him whenever he uses public transit, that was his pain. He’s only coming to get famous.”
@Shallomttheo “PDP should go for Ambode and not Otedola. It will be smart to have an incumbent governor challenge Tinubu’s candidate.”
@Kelvin_Odanz “With Tinubu and Ambode going for each other’s throat, Otedola as PDP’s gubernatorial candidate in Lagos will be a sweet move. Popular name, deep pocket, a thirst for something different from Lagosians. I love this game!
@McShaffy “Now Lagos is becoming a lot more interesting. Finally people have enough balls to challenge Tinubu..I think Ambode still has the upper hand.. Even as Otedola throws his heart into the race.”
@Islimfit “If Femi Otedola actually got a ticket to contest for the Lagos State governorship position come 2019, I see him winning ahead of any other candidate.”
@Rouvafe “Tinubu may be the master strategist, but him of all people should know better than to underestimate Ambode’s power of incumbency.
“Also If rumours of Otedola joining the Lagos State gubernatorial race under PDP is true, then Lagos may just be about to witness the end of an era.”
Recent investigation into the life of controversial Bulletproof pastor, gives his real name as David Mmiriogwu – the pastor changed his name to David Elijah after he launched his church.
The investigation showed that David attended Presbyterian Secondary School, Ogbor Hill in Aba from JSS1-SS1 after which he dropped out. He however now has a ‘Dr.’ title attached to his name.
According to sources, while still at the school, the bulletproof Pastor will leave the school during break periods to attend ministries, before he finally decided to drop out of school to launch his.
His first church was opened at Ukaegbu Road, Aba and his miracle was making people bleed on the face after rubbing his white handkerchief on them.
The pastor reportedly got busted in Aba and didn’t get much followers due to his queer miracles, he then moved his church to Owerri, then to Port-Harcourt before finally relocating to Enugu.
Recall that the Anambra Command in a statement signed by DCP Chris Owolabi, wondered why the bulletproof pastor refused to report the incident to the police station closest to the scene of the incident.
The command wondered why the pastor instead went to his church in Aromma, Awka, to make a public announcement of his miraculous escape.
“The attention of the Anambra State Police Command has been drawn to mischievous publications in some national dailies and the social media that one Pastor (Prophet) David Elijah of Grace and Power Prophetic Ministry, Awka was attacked by unknown gunmen in his church close to Aroma junction.
“It is indisputable that on Sept. 6th between 9am to 10am, the Pastor said that he was attacked by unknown gunmen along Enugu-Udi road in Enugu state and his vehicle was riddled with bullets, but he escaped unhurt.
“However, instead of reporting the incident at the nearest police station where the incident took place, the pastor drove to his church in Awka and attracted the attention of his congregation who were waiting for him at the church premises for a church event,” he said.
Nollywood actress, Irene who sat for an interview with Lagos Jump Radio, recounted her mortifying experience with ex-Big Brother Naija housemate, Alex.
According to Irene, she met Ifu Ennada and Alex recently and while Ifu was friendly, Alex was somewhat hostile towards her and because of this, she had to refrain herself from asking the model for a photo.

A really surprising report by The Blast, who obtained court documents, reveals how Chris Brown’s daughter, 4 year old Royalty Brown, stole money from her grandmother, Chris’s mum’s purse.
According to the report, Royalty stole the money and reportedly gave it to her mother, Nia Guzman, to help her buy a new house after Nia complained heavily about money.
Nia and Royalty currently share a bed in a two bedroom apartment in Woodland Hills CA and Royalty says she wants her own room.
Last week Nia Guzman went to court to seek an increase in child support for Royalty which Chris is fighting. When they went to court, Chris’s legal team exposed the theft and blamed it on Nia who also reportedly told Royalty that their living conditions are because her father is a deadbeat dad.
Nia in her filing accused Chris of not allowing Royalty to bring home any of the expensive clothing he buys for her.
