How Police in Abuja allegedly helped killer of Corp member escape after an accident

The Police in Abuja has been accused of allegedly helping the killer of serving corp members escape after causing a fatal accident that killed a young man, identified as Tony.

Tony was a member of the Capital Movement in the City and his colleagues alleged that the first respondent after the accident, instead of rushing the victim to the hospital, resorted to looting his car and then making attempt for the BMW car of the culprit to be towed away.

Read their post below:

Today we lost a shining light and one of the founding members of The Capital Movement. Tony Zitta fondly known as Tony of Abuja gave his life for this city and we will always treasure his memory. RIP Tony

On the 29th of July at 4am the morning after TCM Festival, Tony Zitta a corper serving in Abuja and a Founding member of the Capital movement was driving home and was hit at the junction of Diamond bank, Wuse II alongAdemola Adetokumbo.

An unidentified BMW 325 CI rammed into Tony’s Toyota Camry leaving him unconscious. Witnesses at the scene claim that the first police response unit instead of helping him, looted Tony (who was with the ticket money from the event) and looted his vehicle.

The police also helped the driver of the BMW to escape, clearing his vehicle and removing his license plate. Then leaving Tony there to die. Here is a picture of the Unidentified BMW. Please RT so we can identify the owner.

Some ladies at the scene however came and intervened as the first policemen tried to steal his items successfully saving his computer and camera.

As the ladies created a commotion other people came and made sure the second group of responders carried the BMW and Tony’s camry to the police station as some friends of the BMW owner had sent a tow truck to try and move the BMW away from the crime scene.

Meanwhile an unidentified female Samaritan rushed Tony to Garki hospital where they said they could not handle his situation, as they believed he had a brain injury and supposedly took a CT scan then referred him to Wuse General Hospital where they were told there was no space

He was referred to Gwagwalada teaching hospital an hour away. They claimed they drained his head of blood & he was stabilizing. The family & friends brought several doctors & neurosurgeons to see him but the hospital didnt allow claimin he was ok. Then on Monday morning he passed.

There are so many conversations that should be had concerning the death of Tony Zitta and we all need to make sure his death wasn’t in vain. Because at the end of the day it was not only the accident that killed him but the System.

It is most unfortunate that there was no member of the Team aware of the accident that night. It’s been a hard time for us all. Tony was the heart and soul of the movement & the thought of going on without him is unbearable. Tony will forever live on with each and everyone of us.

Many ladies move around with packaged beauty – Mike Bamiloye

Veteran Christian film producer, Mike Bamiloye has advised men to take more caution in looking beyond physical beauty when in search for a potential bride.

He made this statement in chat with The Punch, and also talked about what people need to do in order to have a blissful marriage.

“Men who want to get married, who desire to have the right lady, must not depend upon beauty because there are a lot of packaged beauties these days among ladies. You can’t trust the hair they have on, nor how beautiful they appear because it may have been packaged with makeup. Men should rather be patient and seek a woman that fears God.”

The film-maker further stated that a beautiful and career-inclined woman should not be a top priority when selecting a future partner.

Reacting to allegations from non-fans who claimed that a recent post by him on Instagram suggested that cooking should be left to women, Bamiloye said:

“I do help my wife in the kitchen. It is the will of God that every woman must be able to care for her husband but that does not mean men should not help their wives in the kitchen.”

He described his wife, Gloria Bamiloye, who is also an actress as an excellent cook capable of cooking the different delicacies he craved for.

He strongly noted that a lot of women out there were not prepared for marriage but were praying for husbands.

“Most women these days are focusing more on material things, which is also one of the things contributing to marriage break-ups. Some women are 28 but are not ripe for marriage because, even at that age, they are still dependent on people for many personal things.

“Such women, if they get married, end up calling their mothers at home for cooking recipes and asking people to wash for them,” he added.

The film-maker also spoke about his current plans in his film ministration, saying the reception was bigger than expected.

“The ministration is growing and getting better. We are currently working on the second part of  Abejoye, which had about 350 premieres worldwide,” Bamiloye added.

“I Can’t Sleep With A Man Who Will Not Last 1 Hour In Bed”- Nollywood Actress, Eniola Odunsi

Promising Nollywood Actress, Eniola Odunsi aka Pharadupson has confessed publicly that she is not ready to get down with any man who cannot last more than an hour in bed.

This is coming barely a week after she held a classy birthday in Cotonou.

The pretty role interpreter, whose new flick “Obsession” is currently showing on Libra TV on YouTube, said this during her birthday celebration in Benin Republic, where Yorubamoviegist.com correspondent had an exclusive chat with her.

According to her, “i am so delighted to see another year. I give God all the glory. In the last 365 days, a lot has happened, many souls have gone but God spared my life till date.

“My career is improving day by day. It is not by my power but it is God’s wish”.

On what marriage means to her, Eniola, who is one of the Nigerian entertainers keeping a scandal free profile, revealed that “marriage is not for everybody but it is a good thing that is expected from a reliable man and a woman.

It is not something you rush into because if you make such move simply because of what people are saying or pressure from your family, my dear you will rush out.

“So, I want to take my time before I pick a man who will be my husband till Jesus come”.

On your last question, I am not the type who sleeps around. Many of today’s guys are not reliable. Many take drugs before getting down with a woman which I am not interested in.

“If you must have anything with me as a man, you must be very strong in bed. I am ready to marry a man who can satisfy me sexually, at least for an hour.

“That automatically gives him assurance that I won’t jilt him.

It is very disheartening hearing that a married woman is cheating on her husband.

One of the problems that can influence such, is when you don’t satisfy her sexually or not caring about her. I have pledged not to cheat on my husband and that is the main reason i am still single”, Odunsi explained.

APC orders Bukola Saraki to resign as Senate President

APC orders

The APC caucus rose from a meeting with President Buhari on Wednesday and ordered defecting Senate President, Bukola Saraki to resign from the Senate.

The APC still maintains majority of the seats with 53 senators.

The National Chairman of APC, Mr. Adams Oshiomhole, called for Saraki’s resignation when he emerged from a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari.

Oshiomhole told State House correspondents in Abuja that the Senate President should as “a matter of honour leave the crown in the house that the crown belongs”.

Some senators elected on the platform of the APC led by the Senate Leader, Ahmed Lawan were also at the meeting held with the President Buhari at the Presidential Villa.

“But whatever is the reason, we can decamp from the party but we can’t decamp from Nigeria.

“The only thing is that there are other consequential issues that every man or woman of honour, who had taken such decisions would be expected to follow through.

“I mean you should not collect a crown that belongs to a family and wear it on behalf of the family if for your personal reasons which he has enumerated that he has gone to another family. It is just a matter of honour to leave the crown in the house that the crown belongs to,” Oshiomhole said.

He maintains that the ruling party still has the largest party in the Senate.

“As it stands even now, APC is still the largest party in the Senate, we have 53 senators, that is much more than PDP has, or APGA has.

“I have been consistent with that during the campaign, I have been consistent since I was sworn in. I have made the points in my acceptance speech, I have emphasised this when I met with the Senate caucus and speech.

I have emphasised this when I met with the House of Representatives caucus, that we are ready to do justice to anyone who is genuinely aggrieved and whose grievances are such that we can deal with them provided we enthrone justice, fairness and all sides purge themselves of any arrogance.

“To the best of my knowledge, all senators, house of reps members were happy, the ones that are not negotiable, there is nothing we can do about it.”

Oshiomhole also claimed that the defection is not surprising. According to him, the defectors had previously given clear signs before now.

“Nobody in the APC will be surprised about the development, in fact, they have stayed a little bit longer than we thought.

Last week the Kwara has State Governor was alluded to have said he was leaving but he didn’t say when.

“So, we are not surprised at all.”

Saraki defected to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Tuesday he party he and some of his supporters, including five governors left in 2014.

He said his return to the party after winning the senate president’s seat on the platform of APC, according to him was to enjoy a greater sense of belonging and in the interest of a greater number of Nigerians.

Similar to what happened in 2014, Saraki has left APC with governors of Kwara, Sokoto and Benue state for now also with his protégé APC Spokesperson Bolaji Abdullahi.

Saraki must vacate his seat – Adams Oshiomhole says

Adams Oshiomhole says

National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole and some senators elected on the platform of the party led by the Senate Leader, Ahmed Lawan, on Wednesday met behind closed doors with President Muhamamdu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The meeting came amidst the gale of defections being witnessed in the party.

Oshiomhole told State House correspondents at the end of the meeting that the right thing for the President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, is to vacate his seat, having left the party.

He said it was a matter of honour for Saraki to leave “the crown” in the family it belongs to.

Oshiomhole said ;

 “But whatever is the reason, we can decamp from party, but we can’t decamp from Nigeria.

“The only thing is that there are other consequential issues that every man or woman of honour who had taken such decisions would be expected to follow through.

“I mean, you should not collect a crown that belongs to a family and wear it on behalf of the family if for your personal reasons which he has enumerated that he has gone to another family.

“It is just a matter of honour to leave the crown in the house that the crown belongs to.

“As it stands even now, APC is still the largest party in the Senate. We have 53 senators, that is much more than PDP or APGA has.”

The former Edo State Governor said nobody in the party would be surprised by the decisions of those who defected because the signs were clear before now.

He, however, admitted that it was a tempting moment for the party.

He added, “Nobody in the APC will be surprised about the development. In fact, they have stayed a little bit longer than we thought.

“Last week, the Kwara State Governor said he was leaving, but he didn’t say when. So, we are not surprised at all.

“But these are what I might call temping moments because I had faced similar situations in my state, when people were leaving.

“But the beauty of democracy is that whether big or small, it is one man, one vote, on election day. There is no difference between a senator, a president, a journalist and any other person.

“In a sense, we have to accept that once a couple for one reason or the other find out that they are not compatible, the only honourable thing is to go.”

Oshiomhole said he was happy that Saraki admitted that he (Oshiomhole) and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, as well as some state governors, tried their best to resolve the matter that led to his exit.

“But he argued that those efforts came too late. But I couldn’t have started acting before I was born,” the party chairman said.

While admitting that there are lessons to be learn from the development, Oshiomhole said going forward, he would expect the system to get stronger to the extent that it is able to learn the correct lessons and take the correct steps.

Rihanna says ‘Most people are dating the idea of what their partner could become’

Rihanna says

Rihanna says people in relationships have to be content with their partners the way they are.

She said most people are interested in the idea of what their partners could become, and not in the present state they met them.

Rihanna dished out some dating tips in an interview with British Vogue. “I get a lot of boy-advice questions,” Rihanna said in the new issue of the fashion magazine.

She went on to explain how people eventually get “mad disappointed” when reality fails to match up to their expectation.

Rihanna says

The singer said ;

“I think a lot of people meet people and then they’re dating the idea of what the person could become, and that person never shows up and then they’re just mad disappointed,”

“A person can always get better, they can always get worse, but you’ve got to be fine with what you met them as.”

Isha Sesay leaves CNN after 13 years, cites Trump-focused coverage as reason

After spending 13 years, popular Cable News Network (CNN) reporter, Isha Sesay has announced her exit from the organization.

British born journalist of Sierra Leonean descent broke the news on social media a few minutes ago saying “it’s really happening, folks!! After more than a decade behind the desk with those three red letters… I HAVE LEFT CNN.”

Speaking on her exit in an interview with Whatweseeee, She said:

“It’s an exciting time for me — and a nerve-wracking one,” she says. “I’m writing a book about the Chibok girls, it’s being released in May 2019.

“It really speaks to where my head is at, currently — a lot more coverage about Africa, a lot more work on the continent, and a lot more focus on young girls. That’s what I’m about right now.”

She also revealed her frustration with Western media, which is focused on US President Trump, “it’s all so Trump-focused.”

“He sucked all of the oxygen out of the room. The media is following that lead to the exclusion of almost everything else, in a meaningful way. For me, personally, it’s not what I want to spend all my time doing.”

“After a while, I want to do more coverage of the Ebola outbreak, of the elections in Liberia, or any number of things that are happening. I’m ready to take control of what I’m talking about.”

LeBron James opens school that is completely free in his hometown

LeBron James is a Los Angeles Laker from Akron, Ohio. He has opened a completely free school in his hometown in Ohio.

On Monday, before heading to Califoria, LeBron James unveiled his I Promise School, which will benefit at-risk students.

It is public and part of Akron Public Schools, which paid $2.9 million from its general fund for the cost of most benefits, salaries, supplies and essential elements for the school, according to Akron Beacon Journal.

James’ I Promise School built in Akron, Ohio, opened on Monday July 30th. The school will provide everything for free, including:

  • Free tuition
  • Free uniforms
  • Free bicycle and helmet
  • Free transportation within 2 miles
  • Free breakfast, lunch, and snacks
  • Free pantry for families
  • Job placement services for parents
  • Guaranteed tuition to the University of Akron for every student who graduates.

The public school is considered the first of its kind and will serve low-income and at-risk students in Lebron’s hometown.

Lebron has done a lot to give back to his community but the I Promise School will be King James’ crown jewel. The 240-person population of third- and fourth-graders is made up of students “identified by Akron Public Schools as behind in critical academic areas and other factors.”

He insisted that his institution be a public school, as he could relate to the pitfalls that Akron youth must face.

Impressively, the school boasts a 20-to-1 student-teacher ratio, year-round programming and a 9-to-5 school day to keep its children engaged.

Davido accused of buying Instagram followers

Davido currently has over seven million followers on Instagram, which makes him the most followed Nigerian on the photo sharing platform.

His long-time music rival, Wizkid, who holds the honour of being the second most followed Nigerian or brand is a long way from him at over five million.

This is as good as it gets for the Omo Baba Olowo but not everyone is completely sold on the number of his followers.

Two Instagram users, @kinglucyy and @amarabiish have questioned the originality of the ‘Aye’ crooner’s followers, insinuating that most of his followers might have been fake or cloned followers instead of real people and their reasoning, which they claimed was a result of intensive research and analysis, is based on the number of likes and comments the Nigerian pop idol gets, compared to his arch rival, Wizkid’s.

@kinglucyy claims he counted the number of likes of one Davido’s post which saw over a thousand in 5 minutes and was surprised, after his manual counting that it was actually 217 likes, and not 1000 as stated.

Read his post: “Truth is Davido has 7M followers and Wizkid has 5.6M followers but Wizkid has more likes on his posts than Davido.

“Now listen to this: One day Davido posted a picture and within 5 minutes it had 1000 comments, a friend of mine counted and it was exactly 217 at that moment, he told Davido about it .

“And immediately he told him Davido blocked him. His argument is that, with Davido having almost 1.5 million more followers than Wizkid, his posts should get more responses and not the other way round.”

It is a common knowledge that entertainers and brand influencers buy followers to boost their status. But it is inconceivable that someone of Davido’s popularity would toe that line. And another Instagram user @thickerbody-9ja responded to @kinglucyy’s claims in defence of Davido

“Wizkid doesn’t post often, so each time he posts, he is sure to get more engagements than Davido. Because Davido posts almost everyday, most of his followers may not care to like or comment sometimes. Social media pages work differently for everyone.

Davido does not need to buy followers.

He didn’t buy followers. Instagram is designed to favour celebs more through verification of their accounts and suggestions to users,” she opined.

Actress Mimi Orjiekwe buys herself Lekki house and brand new Range Rover (Photos)

Mimi Orjiekwe has gotten herself a new Lekki property and a brand new Range Rover.

She recently revealed she regrets her decision to settle for acting as a career and said she would have been a better person if she was working in the oil and gas sector.

She seems to be doing just fine in the entertainment industry as she took to her social media page to share a photo of her brand new range rover.

She simply captioned the photo:

#Levelup# baby touched ground

See more photos below:

Mimi recently revealed she regrets her decision to settle for acting as a career. She would have been a better person if she was working in the oil and gas sector.

She said, “I still have a lot to do as an actor and woman, though I am enjoying my life. If I had known better, I would have probably pursued a career in the oil and gas sector. I love acting but there is no money in it as much as in the oil sector. I have a lot of expenses; I have a baby, do charity, like to look good and have a family to support. For you to be able to do all these, you need to make a lot of money. Unfortunately, acting cannot give you much money.”

Record label exec replies Davido, claims his artiste gave Davido his hit songs

Earlier today, Davido had replied a comment on an Instagram page about his Porsche gift to Chioma.

The IG user who made the comment, @kingpatrickgb didn’t mention Davido’s name, however he was quick to reply him which left many surprised.

Turns out they have a history, hence, Davido’s need to single out his comment.

According to findings by Misspetitenaija, there is an underlying /impending legal battle between Davido’s DMW label and Patrick’s label, Goldenboy Records over singer, Peruzzi.

It is claimed Patrick who is the CEO of Goldenboy entertainment, signed Peruzzi to his label and the contract expires in 2019. However, Peruzzi went against his contract and gave Davido most of his hit songs in 2017 including the smash hit, FIA.

It is also revealed Perruzi is not officially signed to DMW as it was just hype.

Patrick also took to his Instagram story to warn Davido and Peruzzi ,saying they should do the right thing.He also insinuates the Porshe Davido bought Chioma was all for hype.

Dr Sid finally shares his side of the story in Mo’hits split

Dr Sid has shared his side of the story in the Mohits split that rocked the nation a few years ago.

Dbanj had fingered Dr Sid to be the reason for the breakup.

He said Dr Sid was jealous because he felt Dbanj was overshadowing his glory.

Speaking in a new interview, Dr Sid responded to these accusations.

He said:

“It was very painful because anybody that knows me knows that I am a team player. I will sacrifice my personal gain for the sake of the team. Next to D’banj in Mo Hits, there was nobody who could command a stage like Dr Sid, but I never was the guy who threw myself out there, I was all about how to make the team better.”

“When somebody names you as the reason why something like that happened, it hurts especially when you know the truth”. / “For me, I fought hard to keep it together. I guess it just wasn’t meant to be”.

“So for that situation to go down like that and people turn on me like that, I spent a lot of night crying and it really affected me in a lot of ways, but I have moved on.”

It should be noted that trouble started within this famous group after Dbanj and Don Jazzy were signed to American rapper/producer, Kanye West’s Good Music label in 2010.

In 2015, Dbanj spilled the beans on why Mohits broke up. He said Don Jazzy expressed his discomfort with staying in New York and leveraging their new contracts when they could remain in Nigeria where they were “already bosses.”

According to Dbanj, Jazzy remained unconvinced and eventually sought to dissolve their partnership.

Dbanj said things came to a head at a general meeting in 2011, where the entire Mo’hits crew, including his own brother, K-Switch decided they did not want to work with him any longer.

The crew then was made up of Dbanj and his brother K-Switch; Don Jazzy and his brother, D’Prince; crooner, Wande Coal and Dr Sid.

Still, it is unclear why Dbanj singles out Dr Sid in particular.

During, the interview, a leaked tape was played, where Dr Sid was heard saying that Dbanj, despite one of the founders of Mo’Hits and his boss, did nothing for his career.

He was chatting with popstar, Davido.

Davido was heard saying: “Guy, it is not that D’banj can help anybody. Like if (American rapper) Lil Wayne calls me, I’ll surely go and meet him. If not for D’banj, nobody would have looked at Wande; am I lying?”

To which Dr Sid responded, “Mehn I don’t know. Tanzania and Nairobi, who will they call? It’s Dbanj obviously. Dbanj did more negative than positive for my career (…)”

After Mo’Hits split in 2012, Don Jazzy moved on to form Mavin Records which initially included Wande Coal, D’Prince, Dr Sid and Tiwa Savage. K-Switch went with his brother who created DB Records.

FCMB Bank (UK) Limited, an independently incorporated subsidiary of First City Monument Bank Limited (which is a member of FCMB Group Plc), has introduced its Personal and Business banking proposition in London, United Kingdom and Lagos, Nigeria at an impressive ceremony attended by the top echelon of the business community within and from outside the country.

The development follows the latest variation of permission obtained by the United Kingdom-based Bank to extend its services to include retail (investments) for individuals and business enterprises. This is in addition to the existing wholesale deposit taking activities, foreign exchange, treasury, corporate banking and trade finance offerings to corporate and institutional customers of FCMB Bank (UK) Limited.

The variation of permission was granted by the Prudential Regulation Authority, the financial services regulatory body of the United Kingdom, and it became effective on June 8, 2018.

The Personal and Business banking proposition of FCMB Bank (UK) Limited is anchored on the Bank’s London Leverage and Africa Awareness. This will enable the financial institution deliver its promise of being the Corporate and Private Bank for African-oriented entrepreneurs, investors and professionals across all their banking needs.

The Group Chief Executive of FCMB Group Plc, Mr. Ladi Balogun, explained at the ceremony that the launch of FCMB Bank (UK) Limited’s personal and business banking proposition is as much a statement of substance as it is one of intent. According to him, “our successful UK platform has proven to be of great importance to the Nigeria stockbroking and international trade finance activities of FCMB Group. Leveraging our deep networks in Africa’s biggest economy, the importance of a London presence to many of our Personal and Business banking customers, and technological innovation, we welcome this opportunity to meaningfully serve more of our customers and grow the value of our UK franchise”.

Also speaking, the Chief Executive Officer of FCMB Bank (UK) Limited, Mr. James Benoit, said, “with the extension of its services, the Bank is now able to receive deposits from both customer segments as well as provide them bank loans to enable them meet their financing needs. The deposit products on offer include current, notice savings and fixed deposit accounts at competitive rates; while its lending products include Buy-to-Let Mortgage Loans enabling target customers to acquire a piece of London and purchase property to include in their investment portfolios.’’.

He added that the Bank will be expanding its premises and entering into partnerships with Fintech providers to open up service options to its clients and enhance their overall banking experience.

Dignitaries at the launch commended the Board and Management of FCMB Group Plc for going the extra mile in ensuring the institution has a very strong presence in the United Kingdom through FCMB Bank (UK) Limited, which will go a long way to boost individual and business transactions between Nigeria and the United Kingdom, thereby enhancing customer experience.

Operating in the City of London, FCMB Bank (UK) Limited began its operations as a BIPRU €50k investment firm in September 2009 with CSL Stockbrokers (another subsidiary of FCMB Group Plc), providing the services of “receiving and transmitting” institutional client orders for Nigerian listed securities. Subsequent to the variation of its permission on September 27, 2013, the Bank commenced wholesale deposit taking activities across various segments.

Man who killed Serena Williams’ sister released and rearrested

COMPTON, CA. Maxfield arraignment. LA County Sheriff Deputy's lead Robert Edward Maxfield into the Los Angeles Superior Courtroom of Judge John J. Cheroske in Compton for his arraignment .

The man whom authorities said fatally shot Venus and Serena Williams‘ sister, Yetunde Price in 2003 was released from prison earlier this year, after more than a decade behind bars.

However, it appears Robert Edward Maxfield was re-arrested on Friday night in Compton, California, and remains in custody after allegedly violating his parole, according to Los Angeles County sheriff’s officials and jail records.

The nature of the alleged violation was unclear Tuesday night.

A spokesman with the state’s Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, who confirmed the release of the Maxfield in Price’s case, could not immediately say if it was the same Maxfield who was arrested in Compton.

The men in both cases share identical biographical information though, including age, name and race. Price was also killed in Compton.

Speaking generically, DOC spokesman Luis Patiño tells PEOPLE that someone who violates their parole then goes before a judge and could have their parole revoked, at which point they would be sent back to jail.

The Maxfield in Price’s case, now 38, pleaded no contest in 2006 to voluntary manslaughter in Price’s death just after midnight on Sept. 14, 2003, the Associated Press previously reported.

Maxfield had been charged with murder but accepted the lesser count on the eve of his third trial, following two mistrials.

Maxfield was sentenced in April 2006 to 15 years in prison and he was paroled in March, according to state corrections officials.

Patiño, the DOC spokesman, could not say for how long Maxfield was set to be paroled after his release — but he disputed reports that Maxfield was freed “early.”

He served nearly three years in jail, between his arrest and sentencing, and was then placed in prison where he served nearly another 12 years before his March parole, according to Patiño.

Price, who was 31 and the mother of three children at the time of her death, was a nurse and the owner of an L.A.-area hair salon. She also worked as a personal assistant to her tennis superstar sisters, Serena and Venus.

She was one of the Williams’ three other sisters, a half-sibling from a previous relationship between their mother, Oracene Price, and Yusef Rasheed.

The Williams sisters have not commented on Maxfield’s release. (Prosecutors also declined to comment.) But Serena reportedly faced him in court in 2006.

She said then that she initially wasn’t “going to speak … because it’s too hard for me to talk.”

However, she said she wanted to tell Maxfield “that this was unfair to our family, and our family has always been positive and we always try to help people,” according to the Times.

Daddy Freeze reveals how his baby mama brought him out of depression

Popular OAP and media personality, Daddy Freeze is celebrating his baymama’s 40th birthday today.

In a public display of affection note, Daddy Freeze who separated from his wife and mother of two kids in an unpleasant way a few years back, wrote this for his now present lover and babymama ;

“My Queen, the First Lady of the #FreeNation in Christ, @tasebudzng the one who believed in me when NO ONE and I repeat no one did, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

You picked me up from the gutters of depression, the quagmire of desolation and made me seek God and find my true calling.

Today, as God chose a humble man like me to lead nations out of slavery, he empowered me with tools. You are one of those tools.

I can’t preach if I don’t have a stable home or good food, I can’t teach God’s word if I am depressed, unhappy or lonely and as you have helped bring succor to my life and tranquility to my world, so will he who sent me on this errand bless you abundantly and empower you to continue being the angel that you have always been.

As you turn 40 today, may the light of the LORD never depart from your life, and may his grace remain upon you always, in Jesus name, AMEN! ~FRZ

Identical twin brothers set to marry identical twin sisters and live in same house

After living together all their lives, two identical twin brothers have decided to marry two identical twin sisters.

Krissie Bevier and fiance, Zack Lewan (left) and Nicholas Lewan and fiance, Kassie Bevier (right) will get married
in back-to-back weddings before celebrating their receptions together and moving into the same apartment

Identical twin brothers in Michigan are going to marry identical twin sisters in a joint ceremony before moving in together in the same two-bedroom apartment.

Zack and Nick Lewan, 24, have been inseparable since birth. So have their future wives Krissie and Kassie Bevier, also 24.

The couples said they do everything ‘in twos’ and that includes getting married.

According to the Jackson Citizen Patriot, Krissie and Zack and Kassie and Nick plan on tying the knot in back-to-back weddings this weekend. The couples will then share their reception on Saturday night before moving into their two-bedroom apartment to start their new lives.

Krissie and Zack’s wedding will take place on August 3, the outlet reports. Kassie and Nick’s on August 4.

‘I’m in disbelief sometimes of just how everything happened,’ Nick told WILX-TV .

Kassie and Nick (left) met four years ago in college and introduced their siblings to each other. They all had their first date together

Krissie said it was important that she and her sister get their own wedding days as ‘being a twin, you never get anything on your own’. However, since their guest lists are pretty much identical they decided to have their ceremonies a day apart.

The couples also plan to spend a few days of their honeymoons separate. They will each travel to Florida – four days apart – to celebrate their weddings and only spend a few days at Disney World together.

Kassie and Nick first met as students at Grand Valley state University four years ago. They brought their siblings along on their first date to a church service. Krissie and Zack hit off immediately and started dating shortly after.

The twins are so close that they even planned their engagements on the same day. Nick and Zack both popped the question to their significant others last year during a family trip to the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn.
The couples even got engaged on the same day. Both men proposed to their significant others last year at a museum

‘It basically happened at the same time … which is par for the course for us,’ Kassie said. ‘We do things in twos.’

The couples plan to move in together into a two-bedroom apartment in Fenton, but said that even though they do things together they are still ‘individuals’.

‘We work differently and we have different interests, and just respect each other for those differences,’ Zack said.

The couples said they click so well because they were brought up with the same family values.

‘We just flow together and it makes sense,’ Krissie said. ‘There is a special twin bond, and having someone who understands that is huge.’

APC issues Bukola Saraki 48 hours ultimatum to reply query

APC attacks Saraki

The APC has given Senate President, Bukola Saraki a 48-hour ultimatum to respond to the query of breaching Article 21 of the Party’s constitution.

According to reports from Guardian, the National Working Committee of the APC in reaction to his defection, has asked Saraki to respond with why disciplinary action should not be taken against him for breaching the constitution of the party.

Recall on Tuesday, Saraki had announced he has left APC to join the PDP saying his new party has learnt more from defeat than APC learned from victory.

The party in a resolution signed by its National Secretary, Mai Malla Buni said the Senate president had flouted the laws of the party with his activities.

APC alleged that the senate president “encouraged and facilitated by providing an enabling environment for the defection of some senators who are members of the APC to the other opposition parties.”

The statement stated:

“That you have deliberately refused to screen nominees for appointments submitted by Mr President who are members of the party from being confirmed by the senate. This has caused untold embarrassment and ridicule to the party and the government.

“That as a follow up to the above, the Kwara State Governor, who is known to be your staunch supporter, had made public pronouncements suggesting that he will decamp from the party as an indicator to your formal defection. That you have organized a public rally in your state where members of the party urged you to decamp to PDP.

“That you used the office of the Senate President to cause avoidable delays in the budgetary process and passage of the appropriation act into law thereby frustrating the implementation of the party’s manifesto and programs and frustrating the APC led Federal Government in the actualization of the campaign promises of the party.”

The APC also accused Saraki of frustrating the party’s efforts to reconcile aggrieved members and encouraged the formation of an association which sought to impersonate and pass off the name of the party.

“Converting the guest house of the Senate President to meeting points and presiding over anti-party activities in the guest house; thereby, encouraging defection of senators from the party, presiding over such meetings and compiling a list of the said defectors including some without their consent,”

“Procuring joint letter of decamped members from the APC and reading same on the floor of the senate including some who did not accede to defecting thereby causing embarrassment to the party.” APC said.
