Nigerian actor, and movie director, Adebayo Salami is celebrating his second year wedding anniversary with his second wife Omotayo Adebayo.
Femi Adebayo remarried two years ago after being divorced for 8 years, Femi Adebayo took to his instagram page to
“My official and legal union to my betterhalf is 2 years Today! ???. It’s been 2 years of undiluted happiness, 2 years of best friendship, 2 years of sweet romance, 2 years of best career criticism , 2 years of better looks, 2 years of unquantifiable blessings, 2 years of whatever good thing we can think of in life. Thank you God, thank you Aduke, I’m always happy to say this and I actually say it countless times “….I LOVE YOU OMOTAYO” coming to this world again, my special request from God is to have you alone again as my life partner.. No one can have a better partner like I do?… Thank you for coming into my life and I experience impeccable positive change! ??? #FemiAdebayo”. He said.
Leader of ‘Free the Sheeple’, Daddy Freeze, has come for gospel singer, Nathaniel Bassey who reacted to Anita, Pastor Chris’s ex-wife absence at their daughter’s wedding, saying, people should focus more on God restoring the failed marriage.
Nathaniel Bassey who reacted to a question from a follower who asked why Anita was not present, said people should focus more on God restoring the failed marriage.
Here is Nathaniel’s response to the comment reads;
”While I noticed that myself too, I took sometime in my hotel room here praying that God restored that marriage. Let me ask? Have you too? And is this comment genuinely out of love and concern? Or is this just a comment to stir up strife? Long time ago, I made up my mind to be a KINGDOM man, and not just denominational. There is too much stuff and division in the body. So, take sometime believing in the restoration of that home in Jesus name”
However reacting to this in live video, Daddy Freeze slammed the gospel singer who according to him was doing what Jesus never did. The OAP who disclosed that her former marriage ended because she was not compatible with her ex-wife, said God will punish anybody who prays for the restoration of his marriage.
”God will punish such a person and that nothing in that person’s life will work”, he said.
Daddy Freeze who further cited Jesus’ meeting with the woman who was divorced five times to back his claims, added that Jesus never prayed for the woman’s previous marriages to be healed. According to him, if the woman’s marriages needed restoration, Jesus would have mentioned it and the bible would have recorded it.
He wrapped up his live message by saying that people involved in failed marriages, should instead pray for their restoration, instead of outsiders who do not have an idea of what transpired in the marriage to offer prayers.
The Catholic Diocese of Makurdi has announced the death of Rev Fr. Angus Fraser, believed to be the longest serving teacher and missionary in Nigeria.
Fraser, who was aged 87, was born on April 8 1931 and hailed from a Caribbean Island country called Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
Announcing the death in a statement on Monday in Makurdi, Fr Jude Ortese, chancellor of the diocese, said Fraser was the founding principal of Mount Saint Gabriel’s college, Makurdi in 1971 and also founded the Via Christi society.
Ortese said the Catholic church “was saddened to announce the death of Very Revd Fr Angus Fraser, the founding Principal of Mt St Gabriel’s Secondary School(MSG) Makurdi and founder of Via Christi Society”.
Ortese said Fraser died on the night of October 7, after a brief illness at Princess Royal Hospital, Farnborough, near Orpington, United Kingdom, where he was receiving treatment.
Otese, however, said burial arrangements would be communicated later.

A man identified as Ifeanyi Udeh, has been arrested for producing fake wine at Agbowa, Ikorodu, Lagos. The man insisted that the wine isn’t harmful, as he also drinks it.
The suspect was paraded by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Edgal Imohimi, on Monday.
“He was producing the wines in his one room apartment without getting the right approval from the concerned authority,” Edgal said.
The suspect, Ifeanyi, while lamenting and pleading for forgiveness, however, admitted committing the offence, He said, he understands that he has committed a crime by producing the wines without getting approval from the right authority.
According to him; “I would have gotten NAFDAC approval but because I could not afford it, so I decided to do little business to raise money to get the approval. The drinks are not harmful, I also drink it and nothing happens to us.
The only mistake I made is by not getting the approval, if I am forgiven on this, I will do the right thing and do the business in a legal way.
I don’t have the means to produce the wines in a big form, so I was doing it in my room. I was arrested while trying to distribute the ones I made.”
The Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris has sacked the Plateau State Commissioner for Police Undie Adie, and replaced him with Austin Agbonlahor.
IGP Ibrahim Idris has confirmed in a statement by the spokesperson for the Plateau State Police Command, Matthias Tyopev, a Deputy Superintendent of Police.
The Plateau CP has been replaced with Austin Agbonlahor, who was until his appointment, the CP (Operations) at Force Headquarters, Abuja.
The removal is coming few months after the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris ordered the sack of same Plateau State Commissioner of Police, Undie Adie, but reinstated him shortly after. Adie’s initial removal was sequel to the killing of over 100 people in the state by suspected herdsmen.
In a statement, Terna Tyopev, spokesman of the Plateau police, said Ciroma has handed the command back to Adie and has since returned to the force headquarters, Abuja. Tyopev explained that the deployment of police officers is done at the discretion of the IGP.
“The inspector-general of police Ibrahim Idris has reversed the earlier deployment of CP Udie Adie t force headquarters, Abuja back to Plateau state command Jos,” the statement read
“Commissioner of police CP Bala Ciroma has since handed over and returned the the force headquarters Abuja.
“Moreover, it is the reasoning of the Inspector general of police Ibrahim Idris that CP Undie Adie understands the terrain better, as such he is to remain and steer the ship off the tides.
“The Nigeria police Plateau state command Jos, wishes to inform member of the public that posting and deployment of police personnel is at the discretion of the inspector-general of police and it is normal routine in the force.”

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has yesterday barred presidential candidates from campaigning until November 18.
This is in line with the timelines given by the agency and the provisions of the Electoral Act, INEC Chairman Prof. Mahmood Yakubu said.
He advised parties and their candidates to adhere to the electoral timetable during a workshop for election professionals from the Commonwealth Africa Region.
Yakubu reminded political parties and candidates that the end of primaries did not mean the immediate commencement of campaigns.
“Section 99(1) prohibits campaigns by political parties earlier than 90 days before polling day.
“Therefore, going by the provisions of the Electoral Act and the Timetable and Schedule of Activities issued by the Commission, campaign for Presidential and National Assembly elections will commence on Nov. 18.
“Campaign for Governorship and State Assembly elections begins on Dec. 1.
“I call upon political parties and candidates to strictly adhere to these dates,’’ he said.
Yakubu said that with the conclusion of primaries by political parties yesterday, the next activity was the nomination of candidates to the commission.
He reminded political parties that the dates for the submission of lists of candidates (Form CFOO2) and their personal particulars (Forms C1001) for presidential and National Assembly elections are from Oct 10 to Oct.18.
The date for the governorship and State Assembly elections is Oct. 22 and Nov. 2.
“The commission will receive the submission from political parties at Aso Hall of the International Conference Centre, Abuja, from 9.a.m to 4.p.m. daily.
“Although we have communicated these dates to all political parties, let me reiterate that there will be no extension of time.
“Similarly, in making submissions to the commission, the covering letters as well as the list of candidates must be duly signed by the National Chairmen and National Secretaries of political patties in line with the commission’s guidelines.’’
Yakubu described the workshop and its theme, “Strengthening Electoral Democracy in the Commonwealth African Region” as topical and relevant.
He said that all the countries of the Commonwealth, Africa region, needed to further consolidate on election process so that elections were not merely periodic but also peaceful and credible.
“Bringing election managers together to share experiences and build capacities is a critical step to the consolidation of electoral democracy,” Yakubu said.
Yakubu said that participants would be taken through five interrelated sub-themes, ranging from the promotion of sustainable electoral democracy, strategic planning, gender and elections, electoral technology to elections and new media.
A Rivers state-based lady, Cecilia Dikibo, has asked PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to take her as his fourth wife since people were castigating him for having three wives.
Cecilia initially saw a post on twitter, where a user said Atiku is not fit to rule the nation for having 3 wives.
Cecilia then went on Facebook to ask the Presidential aspirant to make her his forth wife…See post below;
”Dear @atiku,
Secure your 4th southern wife with me, Since they are castigating you for having 3wives. (My physical size is not the issue.. Having a Rivers woman is aspirational)
A prostitute has been recorded on camera causing a scene at an hotel after the man who picked her up, refused to pay her the agreed fee after they had an all night marathon sex.
The enraged sex worker, who apparently is a Yoruba lady, is seen in the video, clamouring and shouting that the man pay her money, cause her genitals hurt so bad.
She’s heard saying she’s sure the man won’t have sex with his wife the way he had sex with her and now he won’t pay up… She shouts at him saying she’d cause pandemonium in the hotel if he doesn’t pay up.
Watch the video below, which so many people find humorous,
Singer, Wizkid certainly had one helluva time while he was performing on stage recently.
In a video now making the rounds online, the singer can be seen ‘grinding’ a plus sized lady while he was performing on stage.
Clearly, the lady was quite big for the singer to handle but he made good sure to have his pound of flesh as he held on to her and raised his legs like he’s was about to mount a horse.
Nigerian Afropop singer, Burna Boy, is undoubtedly one of the hottest and buzzing music stars both at home and abroad, and his impressive fan base proves this.
The singer outdid himself yet again with a sold-out concert at the O2 Arena, Brixton – One of the highlights of the show was when the music star made a grand entrance standing on top of a convertible car that drove him to the front of the stage.
Burna matched the crowd’s energy, and delivered several of his hits back to back, with performances by Kida kudz, Nissi, Rebecca Garton, Not3s, and Four of Diamonds in between sets.
Veteran music producer and singer K-Solo drops a new banger titled ‘Feel OK‘ for his faithful fans and music lovers. The new tune is a sequel to his previous release ‘Wish Me’.
It is rumoured that the music producer is working on his upcoming EP titled ‘Legendary’ which would include ‘Feel OK’.
D’banj, a very successful musician has shown that he can also make an excellent model.
The singer was one of the models who recently walked the runway during the African Fashion International Week in South Africa.
For his walk, the 38-year-old wore a suit by David Tlale as he joined other models on the runway.

Ex-Beauty queen Ibidun Ituah-Ighodalo today shared lovely new photos of herself and her two adopted children, Keke and Zenan.
In a post she shared on her IG page, Ibidun wrote on how God made her welcome the choice of adopting children. Ibidun and her clergyman hubby, Pastor Ituah Ighodalo got married in February 2007 and are yet to have kids.
She wrote ;
Where do I start? You are such a loving and kind Father it’s incomparable. Your wisdom and might is unrivaled as is your knowledge. You know the end from the beginning and the beginning from the end because time truly exists in you.
You knew me before you formed me and you knew my life’s journey and you prepared for me every step of the way…. My choice of a life partner though questioned by many was a divine masterpiece by you… You already saw the struggles and you knew the perfect fit for me… you knew who could handle the storms of life with me and you blessed me with a wonderful husband, friend and lover.
Ever so supportive and loving. Supportive through almost a dozen episodes of IVF, never wavering, there for every test and doctors appointment. With all the societal pressures and shaming you held me and comforted me in my low times. Even when that did not work out you were already planning something mind blowing. How else could I explain the burden you laid on my husband heart to establish an orphanage even before our marriage? This same orphanage gave me my beautiful daughter who again has your hand in her life. Born on the same day as myself and named by her dad after me (such prophecy) and brought to the orphanage. Even when I did not recognize your hand it was there till our eyes saw that which was always in front of us. Again ever supportive, my husband was in support of our choice to go in that direction.
The way you piece our lives jigsaw puzzles astounds me continually papa. Out of the blue a call comes to my phone and my darling aunt says I’ve seen your son. Come and pick him…. Not a clue to the process I started in faith and you made a way and Zenan became ours…. Even when I’m not thinking about myself you are thinking about me and putting my thoughts in the hearts of people. Seeing my son is a moment I would never forget. The bond was instant, and love was in full flow. How could I ever have orchestrated my life as perfectly as you have done. I’m so glad I have you papa because your ways are not my ways and your hand is evident in my life.
Thank you Father for making a way, for guiding me, for holding me, for giving me joy, for sending me peace and for completely showing my family Favour. Papa my prayer would not be complete if I don’t ask you to open the eyes of my other women trusting you for the fruit of the womb to have an open mind to different ways of becoming a ‘MOTHER’. So many children are out there looking for love and a home to call their own. I pray they experience the joy of motherhood as I do now and open their hearts to you to listen to as many options as you have provided….. Adoption does not mean you have failed them but is a way of showing what blessings you have in store for them if only they will yield to You…. a blessing which is priceless… I thank you for my two adorable kids, I could never trade them for anything in the world…. looking forward to your instruction on looking after more children ? ?
Tech Giant, Google has said it would shut down Google Plus, the company’s social media platform, after it discovered a security vulnerability that exposed the private data of up to 500,000 users of the service.
In a blogpost by Google on Monday, October 8, when the company’s technical staff discovered the bug in March, they decided against disclosing the issue to users because they hadn’t found anyone that had been affected.
In the blog post, Google said its “Privacy & Data Protection Office” decided the company was not required to report the security issue. Google looked at the “type of data involved, whether we could accurately identify the users to inform, whether there was any evidence of misuse, and whether there were any actions a developer or user could take in response. None of these thresholds were met in this instance,” wrote Ben Smith, a Google vice president of engineering..
Up to 438 applications may have had access to the vulnerability, but Google said it had found no evidence that outside developers were aware of the security flaw and no indication that any user profiles were misused.
The incident could face additional scrutiny because of a memo to senior executives reportedly prepared by Google’s policy and legal teams that warned of embarrassment for Google similar to what happened to Facebook earlier this year if it went public with the vulnerability.
The decision to shut down Google Plus was part of a broad review of how much user information Google shares with third-party developers. Google, a unit of Alphabet, also said it is limiting the apps that can work with Gmail, the company’s email service, and constraining the amount of data that developers can access through Android, Google’s smartphone software.
Nigeria’s anti-graft agency, EFCC, on October 8, 2018 arraigned one Mohammed Sanni Zubair, before Justice Ijeoma L. Ojukwu of the Federal High Court, sitting in Maitama, Abuja, on a 4-count charge of fraud.
Zubair, a suspected serial fraudster, was alleged to be a member of a syndicate, who specialized in defrauding people.
Nemesis caught up with Zubair when the children of one Major General Geoffrey Ejiga (rtd) petitioned the EFCC alleging that a syndicate of fraudsters took advantage of their father’s old age to defraud him of over 180 Million Naira.
A check on Zubair’s profile showed that he had previously been arrested by the operatives of the EFCC sometime in 2016 for a fraud related offence, which he confessed to, saying he acted under the instruction of one Johnson Abiodun, whose real name was Nuhu Kasim.
In the course of investigation, Kasim was arrested in Kano, and it was discovered that the information given by the defendant against him, was completely false. Hence, this charge.
One of the counts reads: “That you, Mohammed Sanni Zubair on or about October 2016, in Abuja, within the Abuja Judicial Division of the Federal High Court of Nigeria, did make a statement to Naziru Aminu Shehu, an officer of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, in the course of the exercise of the duties of his office, contained in your written statement dated 28th October, 2016, which you knew to be false and thereby committed an offence contrary to and punishable under Section 39 (2) (a) and (b) of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (Establishment) Act, 2004”.
The defendant pleaded not guilty to the counts preferred against him. In view of his plea, the prosecution counsel, Fatsuma Mohammed, prayed the court for a trial date to enable the prosecution prove its case.
But, counsel to the defendant, Joe Agi, SAN, informed the court of the defendant’s application for bail, which he said was filed and served on the prosecution shortly before the court started sitting.
Nollywood actress, Funke Adesiyan, has claimed that the ruling All Progressives Congress party took her hard-earned mandate from her in the just concluded primaries in Oyo State.
The actress stressed that the political party denied her from fulfilling her political ambition and forced her to surrender her mandate.
This comes after Adesiyan excitedly announced her victory on her Instagram page earlier – Adesiyan revealed she won the primary election of Ibadan South East 2 with 207 votes against her nearest contender who had 32 votes.
However, Adesiyan said that though she was denied her victory at the Oyo APC primaries, she will accept the outcome in good fate.
Adesiyan made these assertions in an Instagram post adding that she may be tempted to ask why “we had primaries in the first place if the party’s hidden agenda was to impose candidates”.

“Dear friends,
“We have come to the end of a long journey. A very rigorous and eventful one. The people of Ibadan South East 2 have spoken. They spoke loudly and clearly.
“The journey of the last one year has been halted, and I thank you all for standing by me. For believing in my vision and for throwing your weight behind me in critical moments. I will never take this significant support for granted.
“The primary election has come and gone and I have been made to believe and accept the outcome in good fate.
“While I am not quite happy that my hard-earned mandate was taken from me, as this stands against the principle with which I stand for, I can’t go against the wish of our great party, All Progressives Congress (APC).
“I can’t understand why people, who bought forms sold at exorbitant prices, went for primaries and emerged winners only to be told that their names had been swapped for other anointed candidates”. One may be tempted to ask why we had primaries in the first place if the party’s hidden agenda was to impose candidates?
“This is one old injustice that has continued to dwarf the progress and entrenchment of internal democracy, one that has denied many people the full blessings of fulfilling their ambition politically.
“There is no better evidence of this than the brazen act of injustice that forced me to surrender my mandate.
“I urge all my supporters not to be wary as this is a phase that will soon pass.
“Today, I hold in my heart nothing but love for my people as I call on you all to not despair of our present difficulties but to believe, always, in the promise and greatness of our party (APC), Oyo State and Nigeria because nothing is inevitable here.
“I implore you all to go all out and vote for the APC in the 2019 general election and ensure that we record a resounding victory.
A beautiful Nigerian lady has shared throwback photos from 6-years ago when Starboy, Wizkid visited her at the hospital when she was hospitalized.
According to her, she was in a car accident and broke both her ankles, and it was a moment she will never forget.
Taking to her twitter page, she wrote: “It’s been 6 years till @wizkidayo visited me at the hospital ?. Moment I’ll never forget. I’m so excited to see him tomorrow. I already know I’ll probably cry ???.”
In the photos you’re about to see, is what former billionaire oil and gas mogul, Kola Aluko looks like now – the once worshiped rich man is now covered in tattoos looking like a rock star.
He also appears to have lost a lot of weight – first off, you should know that was what the billionaire business man and owner of Atlantic energy used to look like.
He was some time, declared wanted by the Nigerian government alongside Jide Omokore in 2016 for allegedly cheating the Nigerian government by using Shell Company to buy luxury yacht, 132 houses, 58 cars and three airplanes.
Kola was such a lavish individual that he spent £1.5million on champagnes at Oscar winner, Leonardo Di Caprio’s 39th birthday some years ago, bought a $2million Ferrari and his $80m yacht, the Galactica star was the vacation spot for hip hop royalty and businessmen.
All these were there, until the Nigerian government declared him wanted leading to the US government seizing a lot of his properties worth a whooping $144million. Some of his assets in the UK were also seized. He has also since gone into hiding and no longer mixes with the rich.
Gone alongside Kola Aluko’s wealth are his throng of hangers-on and hero-worshippers who used to benefit from his largesse.
Kola, who turns 49 next week, looks different these days and has covered his body in tattoos.

A single lady from Uganda who grew frustrated with being asked when she was getting married has now tied the knot to herself
Lulu Jemimah, 32, an Oxford student who marriage remains the last thing on her mind is having her masters in creative writing at the prestigious university.
She got fed-up of her family pressuring her on settling down with the right man, and in a bid to get her parents off her back, she decided to get married to herself in a bizarre wedding ceremony.
According to Jemimah, the wedding cost her just £2 for her taxi to the venue, and she got other things for free or as gifts from friends.
‘I have a strong passion in life and I am committed to achieving my goals at becoming an academic.
‘But all my family wanted to ask me was when I planned to get married – which is very important back in Uganda – followed by when I would be having children and starting a family.
‘My father wrote my wedding speech when I turned 16. Every birthday my mother prayed for me and in recent years this has included a plea for a good husband.
But I just didn’t want to think about walking up the aisle. It’s not the thing which keeps me up at night.’
Lulu who previously worked as a freelance journalist and a communications consultant for the International Organisation for Migration received a BA Media (film) scholarship from Macquarie University in Australia in 2013.
After completing her undergraduate degree, she applied to Oxford University to do a masters, which she started in August 2017.
‘Then I decided, you know what weddings seem so important here – I will marry myself.’
Lulu arranged the last-minute ceremony at Quepasa Bar in the Ugandan capital Kampala on August 27 – her 32nd birthday.
A friend who works as a web designer made and printed her invites, and her friend paid to hire her dress, while her brother baked her cake.
Lulu added: ‘[As soon as] I sent these out I immediately received phone calls asking who the groom was. I told people it was a surprise.
‘It’s shocking the price of wedding gowns in Uganda but when I told them I was marrying myself they offered to find me their cheapest dress.
‘I did feel a bit crazy trying on the dress and explaining that I was marrying myself. There was a kind of dismissive tolerance from the girls in the bridal shop.
‘I had to leave an ID card behind and when they saw my Oxford university card they screamed and were so impressed. I tried a few on and I almost cried.
‘It really is a special moment and I understood more than I had the excitement around weddings.’
A friend did Lulu’s makeup at the venue, and the bar owner, also a friend played the wedding march as she exited the toilets and walked into the venue.
‘I then spent a few minutes talking to friends and awkwardly explaining that there was no groom – most of them knew by this point,’ she said.
According to reports, another friend played the roll of the vicar as Lulu staged a mock exchanging of vows with herself in front of around 30 guests.
‘I was extremely happy,’ she said. ‘So many friends showed up, as well as international and local journalists, film directors and feminist entrepreneurs.
‘Marriage is an expression of love and commitment, however for many people back home, it is still considered the only way to guarantee a woman’s financial security.’
‘I had worried about coming off as stupid but to have such a strong intellectual group of friends behind the idea, that was all the validation I needed for the choices I have made.’
Although, her parents didn’t attend the big day as they were ‘a bit confused’ about her decision to get married to herself.
‘When we talked the next day she was a bit confused and slightly hurt, but explained that by even wearing a wedding dress it proved I was ready for marriage,’ she said.
‘My father still maintains that he doesn’t know what to say.’
