Senator Ademola Adeleke, the Gubernatorial Candidate of the PDP ahead of the Osun state election has finally reacted to the raging Secondary School Certificate controversy that involves him.
Recall that the Nigerian Police last week Wednesday, invited the Principal of Ede Muslim High School 1, Abass Khalib, for investigation over the issuance of statement of result and testimonial to Adeleke, which some claimed was not genuine.
Abass was said to have allegedly signed the statement of results and testimonial of Mr Adeleke, who reportedly finished his secondary school education in 1981.
According to a new report by PREMIUM Times, while responding to the allegations, Adeleke, through the Director of Media and Publicity of Senator Ademola Adeleke Campaign Organization, Olawale Rasheed, in a statement on Sunday, demanded the release of the principal of Ede Muslim High School 1, adding that Abass’ arrest was politically motivated because of “date error”.
“We are constrained to issue this statement on the recent arrest and persecution of the principal of Ede Muslim High School over false accusations of forged school testimonial issued to Senator Ademola Adeleke as a former student of the school because of a date error.
“We note with great alarm the politically motivated arrest and unwarranted media attacks designed as a tool of harassment, persecution and character assassination of the PDP flag bearer, Senator Ademola Nurudeen Adeleke,” he said.
Adeleke called on police authorities to redirect their attention to “investigating and solving real crimes and not trumped up accusations”.
“It must be reaffirmed that issuance of a testimonial duly signed by authorities of the school to an ex-student cannot be a crime irrespective of the date on it.
“There is clearly more to this exercise than routine investigation. How can a date issue on a testimonial and not a certificate be a matter that attracts the attention of FCIB Alagbon officers from Lagos?
“We therefore call on the police authorities to unconditionally release Mr Abbass Khalib Adejare, the principal of Ede Muslim High School who is currently held in Lagos, a distant and disconnected jurisdiction of school in Ede, Osun State.
“The school under his supervision had only performed a legal administrative duty through the issuance of a testimonial. Please note that a testimonial is simply a statement of character attestation and confirmation of the years of attendance at the school and not a school certificate,” the statement read.
The spokesperson was silent on the allegations that Adeleke’s claim to have graduated from an American university is also false.
Ghanaian Actress, Juliet Ibrahim has a message for those who can’t stop questioning the marital status of unmarried people.
She might be speaking for a lot of people who are under pressure to get married, including herself, as she wants people to stop giving them sleepless nights.
The beautiful actress made this known via her Instagram page yesterday.
According to her, the pressure to get married should be stopped by people.
“Stop this habit of asking people to get married because their age-mates are married. Even you, some of your age mates have died but nobody has asked you to die,” she wrote.
Meanwhile, Juliet Ibrahim has been posting a lot of relationship advise on her social media page lately.
One time she said opposite sex bestie is another route to becoming a side chic/nigga.
“#OpenGistWithJuliet #TapForDetails. I have been discussing this topic with my friends and I thought I’ll share with you. I told my friends that I believe in most cases; opposite-sex besties are decoy names for side chicks or side niggas.
In the sense that: most of these besties secretly have a crush on each other and are just waiting for the right time to be the one to come to the rescue or be the shoulder to lean on. Or, maybe they had a thing once or twice before and decided to just stay friends. What do y’all think” she wrote.
The gorgeous actress said this on her Instagram page on Friday, June 8, 2018, where she raised her doubt over the biblical theory.
“The way men lie, I’m beginning to think poor Eve didn’t eat the forbidden fruit first,” she said.

Some Nigerian migrants, 24 in number detained in one of Libya’s slave camps have snubbed the repatriation efforts of the Federal Government, insisting they must reach Europe, which is their final destination.
Mrs. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora disclosed this news in Abuja.
She said 116 other Nigerian migrants stranded in Libya have agreed to be repatriated home.
She said that the Federal Government and the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) have located the detention camps of the Nigerians, and offered to bring those willing back home.
The Nigeria Mission in Tripoli, she said, had traced the migrants to Osama Detention Centre, Zawiya , Libya.
The 116 Nigerian migrants have been processed online by the Nigeria Mission and IOM for repatriation back to Nigeria, she added.
She said that Federal Government moved to rescue the detained migrants after their plea for assistance through video clip from Libya on July 8.
In the video, the stranded Nigerians who veiled their faces, said that their final destination is Europe but was intercepted by the security agencies in Libya and locked up in dehumanising conditions.
The migrants had in the video said they were being tortured to death daily under a dehumanising condition.
“We are dying here. Come and rescue us. Europe is our final destination but we are trapped in Libya subjecting us to inhuman treatment”, one of the Nigerians said in the video.
Dabiri-Erewa said that 9,438 Nigerian migrants had so far been repatriated by the Federal Government and the IOM.
She gave assurance that President Muhammadu Buhari would continue to ensure that all stranded migrants willing to return home are brought back.
President Muhammadu Buhari early this year directed immediate evacuation of Nigerians from Libya.
According to her, those that have been brought back are being profiled and enrolled in various technical and vocational training centres with relevant agencies and NGOs.
She appealed to Nigerian youths to avail themselves the opportunities in the country as against risking their lives to search for a non-existing and deadly greener pastures abroad. (NAN)

Joro Olumofin has advised all ladies in relationships to have back up or contingency boyfriends.
According to him, this would aid in preventing depression in ladies after a break up.
He says ladies should think like men who often have backup relationships which explains why most of them get married shortly after breakups.
He wrote:
With the level of heartbreak and depression amongst ladies who just got out of relationships, I believe it’s time for ladies to have a “CONTINGENCY BOYFRIEND” ; a backup boyfriend. Who is a contingency boyfriend? A contingency boyfriend is a guy who fits all your criteria of a husband material but is your platonic friend ( no sex involved).
You talk to him often, you hang out with him and involve him in your daily activities, he’s aware of your boyfriend. A lot of ladies are facing emotional hardships in their breakup and being rebounded by at least 5 Guys risking high body counts till they find another boyfriend.
I strongly suggest that every lady in a relationship should have a backup boyfriend who she can marry 6 months after her breakup in other to avoid Depression and the rebound / waiting syndrome. #ThinkLikeAMan 90% of men have Contingency Girlfriends.

“HBD to the most rugged Capo @awwalbiu The two times our brother @donjazzy and his people orchestrated my arrest, one for making a cover to the song ‘Feeling Good’ and the other when they set me up with a stolen laptop in a quest to make me look like a fraudster; ?♂️ moved me from Kano where I was recording a campaign song for PDP to SARS Abuja and locked me up for no reason.
“This man and @areafada1 made sure I was good. I turned my cell block into a concert and all inmates chanted MAGA DON PAY and LIKE PLAY and we talked all night. You and the two Army Generals whose names I won’t mention took care of me. (RIP Sarki Kabo, he was a good man) Two times people I know were implicated in dangerous cases and everyone involved fired except the ones who mentioned my name. They didn’t commit the crime but they were innocently chilling with them guys; to mention but a few cases brother, you’re more than a friend.
“Person wey get person big pass person wey get money for real. I salute you Capo. May this day bring you long life and great wealth. May you match and never fall. May evil forever lose the directions to your location and may God bless you and yours. Happy Birthday Padi me, I throway salute. ???

(VERSE 1)
Where do I begin?
The crises upon us; end of the day,
e mana Chukwu still God us
Oh, how leadership watch us, they hoard us
“Lazy Nigerians Youth”- that’s what they labelled us
Speak for the millions, hundreds of millions
Who don’t own a voice, so they wallow in the silence
Senseless violence; bomb blast going off
Christians persecuted; burnt down our churches
[Even Muslims massacred; blood on the Coat of Arms]
Blood on the green and white flag
They say “pack bag and relocate your family”
There’s nothing more left for us
Funny how the oil them became a gift and a curse; ahn
(CHORUS)
They don’t care about us
If we live, if we die, if we eat, if we starve
If we see another day- It Is God!

Last night, SARS had guns to my head
Lying on the coal tar next to my manager
[Eh, my friend, lie down]
What the fuckk is going on?
Searching us for Tramadol and G-related documents
Wire-Wire components; going through my phone-books
Scrolled through my messages
Violate my every single fundamental human rights
You dey lucky if you make it through the fuckking night
SARS been extorting us; the police is haunting us
My head gold and my chains bold
Found nothing on us; what the fuckk what’s the crime?
Can’t a young man make clean money any more?
*Can’t a Gee pull up in the seat; people dope
Let them sit; nice girl plus fresh kicks
Yet the goverment protects the criminal police,
and the citizens in danger
Headsmen graze, carry AKs; automatic weaponry
Presidential funery

They don’t care about us
If we live, if we die, if we eat, if we starve

(VERSE 3)
Ah; this is not a country; they run it like a company
They run it like a corporation; 36 branches
Move money- tranches; buying ranks in offshore
Politicians secure seats in Ivy League schools
Back home, lecturers be dining tools
Nothing still works; don’t give tuff
Swear the man is broken hungry
The crime rate shoot up; Dollar rate shoot up
Inflation shoot up; some luna’ might run
up in the Sanate and shoot up;
And Rochas still commissioning statues
Kids growing up with Gee Boys for role model
You failed us; you traded us in for personal gains and profits
Am still here rocking slave outfits- #word
==Suspect on the mix==
(CHORUS)
They don’t care about us
If we live, if we die, if we eat, if we starve
If we see another day- It Is God!
If we walk another step- It Is God!

Senator Dino Melaye has slammed the National Chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole for claiming that the seat of the Senate President belongs to the ruling party.
Melaye also accused Oshiomhole of exhibiting what he called “brain arthritis.”
The lawmaker added that the Senate presidency seat belongs to the Federal Republic of Nigeria, rather than to the ruling All Progressives Congress.
Melaye pointed out that the opposition Peoples Democratic Party gave the block vote that made Senator Bukola Saraki emerge as President of the Senate.
The lawmaker, who is one of the 14 senators that have so far defected from APC to PDP, said this while briefing journalists in Abuja on Sunday.
Oshiomhole had asked Saraki to resign as Senate President since the lawmaker had defected from the ruling to the opposition party. According to the APC chairman, the seat belongs to the majority party.
Melaye, however, condemned Oshiomhole for referring to the seat of the Senate President as a ‘crown’ that belongs to the APC. According to him, the seat is national and not political.
He said, “For those who are saying that Saraki should resign (as Senate President), I am so disappointed in the National Chairman of APC.
“He was very busy with labour and social issues that he did not take time to look at the Constitution and our extant laws to know that crowns are worn in the kingdoms, villages and communities; that there is no crown in the National Assembly.
“He has appropriated the seat of the Senate President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to a political party. That is intellectual stagnancy. He has exhibited what can only be as a result of brain arthritis.
“I cannot understand why the national chairman of a party will not know that the seat of the Senate president is of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and has no party affiliation. Then, he appropriated the seat to APC, forgetting that even those who elected the Senate President were from the PDP.
“The PDP gave the Senate President 42 votes out of the 53 votes that he got on the day of election. So, the APC is the minority, even in the election of the President of the Senate.
“But the National Chairman of the APC, in his ‘bolekaja’ approach to life, myopically, intellectually stagnantly… anyway, you can’t give what you don’t have.”
A 30-year-old auto mechanic, Sani Mohammed, who was recently arrested by the Niger state police command after a failed attempt to kidnap one Stella Agbachi, along Top Medical Road, Tunga, Minna, the state capital, says he ventured into crime because he was told kidnaping is a more lucrative business than car repairs.
Sani who hails from Zumba in the Shiroro Local Government Area of the state, said he was desperate to make money to meet his personal needs. He confessd to have carried out series of kidnappings.
“After hearing that kidnapping is a lucrative business where one can make a lot of money, I said to myself: let me try, whether I will succeed. After all, the journey of a thousand miles starts with a step. I was planning to carry it out but unfortunately, I found myself in the police net,” Sani said.
Sani said his parents have refused to visit him in the police cell since his arrest. He said he has brought shame to his family.
Speaking on his arrest, the state police command’s Public Relations Officer, Muhammad Abubakar, said Sani would be arraigned in court upon conclusion of investigation.

Kechi Okwuchi is one of the only two people who survived the illfated Sosoliso plane crash that killed 107 passengers in 2005.
Since the unfortunate incident, Kechi has gone on to greater glory as she emerged finalist in reality talent show, America’s Got Talent in 2017.
In a new interview, Kechi speaks on how the crash affected her life and how she has been able to survive over 100 surgeries in the last 13 years.
On how the incident changed her life, she said:
“One important way that tragedy has changed my life is that it has afforded me the opportunity to meet many amazing people from around the world, which may never have happened if I wasn’t involved in the incident. I wouldn’t trade anything for this amazing people I have met over this period. The incident is more like a blessing in disguise.”
On her recovery from the trauma:
“I have been relieved from the trauma, but not completely over it. The incident is something I cannot forget. Every single day is a memory for me. As long as I am happy and doing well in life, I think I would get to that point”
On the possibility of getting more surgeries:
“The way things are right now, I am in a place where if there are more surgeries that would benefit me by improving any functions that I am having issues with, I am open to such. I have no problems with undergoing various surgeries but if I have to live my life this way, then I am ready.”
On boarding local flights in Nigeria:
“Actually, I have flown on local flights on my two visits to Nigeria after the incident. I had no reason to fear or panic.”
Hafiz Abubakar, the deputy Governor of Kano State tendered his resignation today amidst crisis with the state Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje.
This is coming as many have speculated that he will be leaving the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP as the relationship with him and the Governor deteriorates.
In his resignation letter dated August 5, 2018, Abubakar said he had desired to remain in office until the end of their tenure, but chose to resign due to irreconcilable differences with the governor.
“I regret to write and notify you of my decision to resign my position as deputy governor of Kano State with effect from Saturday 4th August, 2018.
“Your Excellency, I would have desired to remain up to the end of our tenure in order to fulfill the aspirations and expectations of the good people of Kano State as expressed in their mandate given to our joint ticket in 2015, but with the current and persistent irreconcilable differences on matters relating to governance and government operations, personal opinions, and the concept of, and respect for, democratic ideals and values, it would be unfair to my conscience, to the good people of Kano State and to you as the head of the government to continue to remain in my position as the Deputy Governor of Kano State.
“Your Excellency would recall several instances I had to draw your attention to the need to understand and appreciate these differences in order to avoid drifting into the kind of unnecessary crisis we are facing today, but to no avail,”the letter read in part.
Recall that on July 30, Mr Abubakar petitioned the police and State Security Service, SSS, over threat to his life and plans by the state government to stage rally against him.
Mr Abubakar, a loyalist of former Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso, has been at loggerheads with the state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, for siding with Mr Kwankwaso in the political impasse in the state.

Nollywood Actor turned Politician, Kenneth Okonkwo has reacted to Reno Omokri’s call out tweet against him.
Kenneth Okonkwo has been in the news lately for declaring his support for President Buhari as he indicated his interest to contest in the Enugu State Governorship Election under the platform of the APC.
Reno Omokri had tweeted:
This is Kenneth Okonkwo when he was telling @GEJonathan the same thing he is now telling President @MBuhari. He will also say the same thing to the next occupant of that office. That is what he is good at. He knows how to ACT loyal without BEING loyal!
Reacting to the tweet, Kenneth Okonkwo wrote on Instagram;
My attention has been drawn to a writeup by one Reno Omokri, under this picture, who wrote that “Kenneth Okonkwo acts loyal without being loyal”. I learnt also that she/he worked with His Excellency, President Goodluck Jonathan.
Let me clarify his/her ignorance.
I was invited by labor on a May Day to deliver a speech on labor matters at eagles square. Indeed I rode on the same vehicle with Comrade Peter Esele, the TUC leader, to the venue.
After the delivery of my speech, President Jonathan was so impressed that he asked his details to get me to greet him in the state box. I humbly did. It’s on record that throughout his regime, I did not request any appointment to see him, even when he told me how he appreciated my person and my humble achievements in Nollywood.
I never worked for him and I have never had any private discussions with President Jonathan. He is alive and this can be confirmed. So the issue of loyalty does not arise.
One wonders what this busybody wants to achieve by writing this. It is this shameless, sycophantic attitude of such people like Reno Omokri, of writing falsehood, that is promoting the culture of fake news on the internet. Shame!!
Veteran Actor, Sola Fosudo who is now a Professor at the Lagos State University (LASU) has disclosed why he made the decision to leave Nollywood for lecturing.
He revealed that he started off as a theatre practitioner, but applied for a job at Lagos State University, Ojo when he saw an advert which stated that the English Language Department of the school was looking for a lecturer who had a background in theatre arts.
Here are excerpts from the interview he had with Sunday Scoop below:
Would you say it was easy for you to attain professorship?
Professorship is not a political position that people fight for or seek elections to. There are criteria for evaluating the application of anyone for a position in the university. When you have the needed number of publications to apply for a position, you will apply and it will go through necessary procedures. Once you are qualified, you will be appointed as a professor.
When did you start focusing more on academics?
I think in everything one does in life, there is the hand of God in it. Though I started as a theatre practitioner, at some point, I saw an advert where the English Language Department of the Lagos State University, Ojo, was looking for a lecturer who had a background in theatre arts and I applied. Then, I was not just an actor; I was directing and producing plays both on stage and screen. I had already produced about four video films as of then.
I applied to LASU, passed the interviews and was employed. But when I joined LASU in 1994, some people felt I was unserious or insane. I was already earning N150, 000 to appear in movies. I had featured in popular movies like Glamour Girls, True Confession and a host of others. However, when I joined LASU as a Lecturer 2 in 1994, my salary was N5,000.
A few years after joining LASU, I was instrumental to the establishment of the Theatre Arts Department. I joined the English Language Department, but I later applied to the Department of Theatre Arts, which started in 2001. For me, this is a major achievement as many students have passed through the department.
Why did you leave acting for lecturing?
I was happy with the industry at the time I moved to LASU, but I have always looked forward to growth and I knew LASU would be a platform for me to make a bigger contribution to the development of theatre in Nigeria. Development theatre in Nigeria should not be only through films but also by training people.
Even before I went to study theatre arts, I was a professional teacher. I love teaching and reading. So, when I saw the lecturing advert, I was attracted by the fact that a theatre person was needed.
How did you cope with N5,000 as salary at LASU?
I was not bothered about the salary because I was still acting until years later when I became busier with the school job. For the first few years as a lecturer, I was still getting some additional income from productions.
Meanwhile, it is incorrect to say I have left acting for lecturing. I am doing the two and I am not the only one doing this. We have many lecturers who are in the university and are also theatre practitioners. We call them scholar-artistes. For me, it means one is relevant both in theory and practice. We can be practitioners in different ways, but most people recognise actors better because they are always on television. This does not mean other practitioners are not playing their roles well.
Nine members of the National Youth Service Corps who are currently serving in Taraba State on Saturday drowned in River Mayo-Selbe in Gashaka Local government Area.
Taraba State Police Command Police Public Relations Officer, ASP David Missal, who confirmed the death of nine out of the 22 corps members who were swimming in River Mayo-Selbe said seven corpses have so far been recovered from the incident.
“Information available revealed that 22 youth corps members had gone on a picnic party in River Mayo-Selbe in Gashaka LGA on Saturday when the incident happened.

“Nine of them drowned, while others managed to escape.
“We have so far recovered seven corpses, while the search for the two remaining corpses is still in progress,” Missal said.
State NYSC Coordinator, Mrs. Florence Yaakugh, also confirmed the incident, which she described as “most unfortunate.”
Yaakugh also confirmed that seven bodies have been recovered, while the search for the other two bodies was still ongoing by the locals in collaboration with security agencies and the NYSC.
“It’s a very sad development and we would soon have the identity of all the corps members involved in the accident and make such information known appropriately.
“We have very sketchy information indicating that about nine of our corps members drowned in Gashaka yesterday.
“So far, seven bodies have been recovered and we are working with relevant persons to recover the rest of the bodies and to identify them.

A 37-year-old Nigerian nationale, who created a fake look alike website of Fortis Hospital and Kidney Institute, Kolkata, India and floating an advertisement asking for kidney donations was sentenced to two years of rigorous imprisonment along with fine of Rs 1 lakh on Friday, August 3.
David Uzoma Ubah was arrested from a rented accommodation in Bengaluru on October 4 last year.
A resident of Lagos, he was brought to the city on transit remand and was charged under IPC sections (420 and 467) dealing with cheating and forgery along with sections under Information Technology Act.
Ubah was arrested based on a complaint filed by Mohit Arora, the facility director of the hospital at Rashbehari Avenue in Kolkata.
He was lodged in an Alipore jail before a Bankshall court recently sentenced him to two years imprisonment.
“In the advertisement Ubah had sought for kidney donors and had claimed that the donors would be compensated by the hospital itself. In another website mentioning the name of the hospital, another similar advertisement was floated with the name and mobile number of a doctor, claimed to have been associated with the hospital,” said a senior officer at Lalbazar.
Actor Kenneth Okonkwo earned the ire of a number of Nigerians after he declared support for President Buhari, stating that Nigeria will not get a better President than the current one.
He got called out for his statement but he stood his grounds and said he owes no one an apology and he stands by his words.
A number of celebrities, including Charly Boy, have called him out for his statement. Fellow actor, Digidi Dunhill also called Kenneth Okonkwo out, and actress Georgina Onuoha shared Digidi’s scathing message to Kenneth while praising one and joining in slamming the other.
She wrote:
Words fail me as I watched Kenneth’s video regarding his political views and his comments about the Igbos. Seeing these words from Digidi Dunhill just left me wondering how powerful our voices can be as actors. These two men are products of Nollywood. Both respected and accomplished in their own way. I will stand by dignity, principles and honesty over anything.
Here is Dunhills words to Kenneth Okonkwo “ I want to categorically say this after watching his recent utterances on the issues concerning Nigeria, that I DIGIDI DUNHILL regrets knowing this man whose picture appears here. I am aware that we have freedom of speech, beliefs and association, but I see no freedom in what kills mothers, children, fathers, brothers and sisters.
When you are supposed to be the voice of the unheared ,but because of selfish gains decided to be a voice of the heared speaking against the unheared.That day you became a disgrace to Igbo race, a Judas to Nigerians, an embarrassment to your fans, a betrayer to politicians, a traitor to your kinsmen, an insult to Nollywood and a cancarworm to manhood.
A lot of our colleagues will not tell you this, but I am known for speaking without fear or favour, you got it wrong by telling the world that you are mentally and spiritually poor. Poverty is not how empty your bank account is,but how empty your heart is.Your fans made you, watch the same fans wreck you.I know we all need to make greens,i am ashamed of your desperation in making greens. YOU LIVE AND REMAIN IN BONDAGE”
Leave your opinions and comments below. Where do you stand as a true Nigerian that wants reform, progress, human dignity and decency. I will err on path of truth.
Politics is the act of the impossible as many will do any and everything for power and money. May wisdom find us all. If the current state of affairs in Nigeria is good for you, follow your heart and continue this anarchy and Fascism going on in Nigeria masquerading as democracy. I cry for my people, I cry for my country Nigeria ??. Until we begin to look beyond our stomach and politics of identity, our suffering and bondage will only continue as a people.
Digidi I salute U.

Retired superstar boxer, Floyd Mayweather took to Instagram to celebrate his daughter Iyanna Mayweather, 18, as she accepted her high school diploma three-years after she graduated.
Sharing photos with his daughter and her mother, the undefeated boxer wrote :
‘The sacrifices we make for our loved ones are always blessings later on down the line. I dropped out in the 12th grade, with just a couple of credits left to go just to give my parents and siblings a better life. I encourage and preach to my children every day that education is extremely important because I want them to be better than me.
My daughter excelled and finished high school when she was just 15yrs old, but decided to finally walk the stage today and have the honor of receiving her diploma in her hand amongst her peers and family. This is yet another family goal and a notch under our belts that makes me proud to be a Father. I love you @moneyyayya! Keep up the good work…we are just getting started!’
Sergio Aguero’s 200th Manchester City goal – the first player to reach the landmark for the club – had the reigning Premier League champions leading at the break, however with Chelsea bossing possession as they tried to claw their way back into the match, all effort proved abortive as they lost the match by 2 goals to nil in Wembley.
New Chelsea Coach Sarri deployed the 4-3-3 formation with Marcos Alonso and Azpilicueta manning the wings, but the west-londoners were often caught napping due to their high offside press during the course of the match.
The Citizens clinch their first trophy of the 2018/19 season and it is safe to say we have an amazing year of English Premier League football ahead of us
