Nollywood Actor and Singer, Falz took to his Instagram page to advice Nigerians to go get their PVC.
However, fans noticed his age and reacted to this rather than the card.
The ‘This is Nigeria’ crooner, who doesn’t waste time in criticizing the government on their actions and inactions, thought to motivate Nigerians to get their PVC like Chigul did, but he got an absolutely different reaction from that of the Nollywood actress.
Fans believes he lied about his age and from what he posted he is yet to be 28,but on his PVC it is written that he is 28.
Diego Maradona has been punished by FIFA, he will no longer be paid as an ambassador of the world soccer governing body.
This is following the Argentina legend’s failure to control his emotions during their 2-1 win over Nigeria in the World Cup last Group D game on Tuesday.
The football icon celebrated Marcos Rojo’s winning goal for Argentina by raising his middle finger at fans.
FIFA termed his behaviour as embarrassing and provocative hence he will no longer receive the £10,000 he was receiving from the world soccer governing body, according to OwnGoal.
Maradona also ignored doctors advice not to watch the final minutes of the clash thereby putting his health in danger.
FIFA has also warned him to be of good conduct in the remaining games he will attend at the World Cup.
A possible stadium ban await the former Napoli forward if he acts in same manner like he did against Nigeria.
So the ministry of salvation couldn’t save after all? – I have always said it… it’s better to be a true Muslim than a false Christian… As you search for God, I wish you well! ~FRZ
OFFICIAL MEDIA STATEMENT & VIDEO ON MY CONVERSION TO #ISLAM. #KemiOlunloyo
Dear Everyone I hope u people realize I went to a Catholic church all my life and Catholic school while I was living with my grandma. I went to mass at Our Lady of Wisdom my childhood Catholic church in U.I March 12th 2017 till my life changed when I was dragged out of my home March 14th 2017 by armed Federal SARS police on orders of the IGP on behalf of a pastor. The #ptsd I have been battling has been ignored by everyone. My pain is too much. The recent Catholic church scandal and the ones I witnessed in America in the 90’s is enough. Before I joined Salvation Ministry I attended Catholic church in prison. There are 6 churches and a mosque for all 5000 prisoners. When I was released, I continued attending St Mary’s PH outside the prison till I decided to visit Salvation Ministries and meet the pastor that jailed me. I forgave him, he forgave me, told me to read the story of Saul to Paul. Pastor Ibiyeomie suffered me. He knew it. I made his church extra FAMOUS when I did a testimony cursing the sender of that letter to me telling ppl not to let the devil use you. His congregation prayed for global recognition and God gave them thru me. He preached about me at his #5Nog CD’s which I covered well. I enjoyed it. Many of you mocked me saying he gave me millions. I have NEVER asked him for a penny. The case was withdrawn. I’m SUICIDAL daily ? dreaming about how I was executed in prison and so many traumatic flashbacks. U mock my medical fund in 30 days only 12 people donated and U are preaching to me telling me I’m confused? Christianity bought me TURMOIL, no message. I’m not an atheist, My sisters gave me the Grail message not a religion. I need ALLAH aka GOD. Islamophobics should UNFOLLOW me. Islam is the peace I need. I’m worshipping God thru Prophet Mohammed so respect that. I will continue to blast radical Muslim terror groups. They are nonentities.
Richard Mofe-Damijo has in his latest post on social media blamed the Federal government’s non-nonchalant and inactive body language for the massacre that took place in Plateau state last weekend.
He asked Nigerians to allow the grief and sorrow that prevailed over the country fuel our pursuit to get our PVCs.
‘‘It’s been a few days of numbness and soul searching for me. Just last Friday, I was as ecstatic as other millions of Nigerians at the Super Eagles victory over Iceland, it was an amazing weekend as I had a constant smile reliving the match, but unexpectedly, evil crept up on us, went to Plateau and massacred about ONE HUNDRED humans, after the initial shock, the realisation that the battle for the soul of this nation just intensified hit me hard and I have since questioned myself. Just as I was going through the terrible emotions, I wake up on Monday morning to the news of Daniel the III ‘s passing. It’s been a cold, sad few days for me and I cannot even imagine how defiled the people of Riyom, Barakin Ladi and Jos South local government areas feel, I cannot pretend to know what D’banj, wife and family are going through but my prayers are with them. Yes, the Super Eagles lost, again, to Argentina but that sad loss pales in the face of real tragedy so I refuse to dwell on it. The Plateau killings had no business happening at all, it is an occurrence that was absolutely perpetrated because of the nonchalant and inactive body language of the government. It is time leadership stop hiding behind long speeches, empty promises and be accountable to the people. We demand justice and refuse to back down because “eye wey dey cry, dey see” as we cry and mourn let our sorrow fuel our passion to go get our PVC’s. #JusticeForPlateau #PrayForTheOyebanjos#GetYourPVC #YourVoteIsYourPower#WeWin

Odion Ighalo, has reacted to the alleged death threat issued to his family in Lagos on social media due to his failure to score goals from clear-cut opportunities against Argentina, saying it was not deliberate.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Ighalo, who replaced Kelechi Ihanacho in the second half of the match between Nigeria and Argentina in the ongoing World Cup in Russia, failed to convert a pass from Ahmed Musa had incurred the anger of fans.
NAN reports that most Nigerian fans strongly believed that if Ighalo had scored the goal, it would have seen the Super Eagles through to the Round of 16 of the World Cup.
Speaking through his Social Media timeline, Ighalo, who was involved in Nigeria’s qualification for the World Cup, said that he regretted not scoring the crucial goal.
“It is a great experience to play at the World Cup and I enjoyed every moment of it, but sometimes things don’t work the way you want.
“But life has to go on, I am grateful to God I did not sustain any injury,’’ he said.
He added that “all those, who want to kill him” should remember, he is someone else’s child. “For all those that want to kill me abeg na person pikin I be o it’s well.”
NAN reports that after the match which generated a lot of ill-comments from fans, the Changchun Yatai F.C. of China’s striker, apologised to Nigerians and assumed personal responsibility for the blunder.
Former Nigerian Football Legend and sports administrator, Segun Odegbami has made his governorship ambition known.
He made the confirmation via his Facebook page where he revealed that he will be contesting in the Ogun state governorship election.
Segun Odegbami wrote:
“I am going to stay around for a little while longer, still watch and report any interesting events around here, and properly think through my next project.
“Now more than ever before I know for sure why I want to contest for the office of governor of my State. The thought of a Footballer in government house excites many who have heard the rumour here. It will surely attract all manner of reactions back in my State,” he wrote.
Odegbami added that:
“Politics in the most sophisticated environment in Nigeria, for all things progressive, may never be the same again. I am looking forward to the challenge in faith and with hope.”
Mr Odegbami, a seasoned sports administrator, added that “…Politics in the most sophisticated environment in Nigeria, for all things progressive, may never be the same again. I am looking forward to the challenge in faith and with hope”.
Born on August 27, 1957 in Abeokuta Ogun State, Mr Odegbami was brought up in the northern city of Jos, Plateau State. He won 46 caps and scored 23 goals for the Nigerian national team, and led Nigeria to its first Africa Cup of Nations title in 1980. Mr Odegbami played for IICC Shooting Stars of Ibadan his entire career, from 1970 to 1984.
Bishop Oyedepo has reacted to the killing of over 100 people in Plateau state by Fulani herdsmen who attacked 11 villages and burnt about 50 houses.
At last night’s evening service and this morning’s Hour of Prayer at the Canaanland premises, Bishop Oyedepo fired at the killers and their sponsors as he stated that self-defense is the right of every Nigerian.
”We are on the verge of an outburst. This islamists are not relenting. And cursed be anyone from any quarters backing these wanton killings in Nigeria. Cursed be their roots and their generations. Not one herdsman has been accosted. Even when they were brutal enough to announce. They are poised for war but it will be in their own house. Everybody, whether in government or out of government, any demonic agent that’s after the destruction of this nation, the Lord God destroy them and their household.
Eleven villages were sacked in Plateau and by now since this their callous acts started, 52 villages are empty….when there is no war! Cursed be all forces behind this wanton killings!
If I be a man of God, let the fire of divine vengeance fall upon their head! Join in this warfare prayer, they won’t know where the war is coming from but they won’t wake up in the morning…,,and the Christians are their targets. In the name of Jesus, divine vengeance will target them and bring them down.
We are told from the News that ISIS have found their way to Nigeria. Whatever channel they came from, they will return from that same channel. The Angels of God will fight all the enemies of this nation. War shall not break out in Nigeria, it will break out in their own houses and take them off one by one. Curse these operators and their backers, curse them in the name of the Lord.
Nigeria is not a Fulani republic, let every devil be concerned. I will never become one. We didn’t sign a deal to live together as a Fulani Republic. Everybody that carries that thought and wants to implement it, the power of God will bring them down. Now in Nigeria, cows are more valuable than human lives. Authority claims they haven’t found anybody to claim responsibility when it was announced. By the blood of Jesus, every manipulator behind this killing, the Lord brings them down!
Do you pray for witches or against witches? Do you pray for armed robbers or against armed robbers? Know what to pray against. The present system must be prayed against…and God will bring them down. Is cattle business government business? If everybody whose shop is robbed goes about killing people, will it be taken? Don’t let anybody take you for a ride. Self Defence is entrenched in the constitution. Give it what it takes to show that you’re not a dummy. I am ordained a shepherd over a generation. I have a commitment to please God. Don’t let any devil take you for a ride. Somebody announced that ‘we killed them and we will still kill them’ and they have not picked them up. What?!!!! Can’t you tell who is behind it? Well, we are set. We are set. We will engage the full force of our spiritual authority.
The saints Must be preserved. The atrocities in Benue, vengeance will answer. The atrocities in Plateau, in Adamawa, Southern Kaduna, judgement will answer…but if you think you will proceed any further, except God has left Heaven, we are in it together.
Cursed be every agent of the devil out to destabilize our country. Cursed be every agent of the devil out to slaughter the saints. You went to Church and killed people and they have not found anyone? Some will not wake up tomorrow morning. Many of them will not wake up tomorrow morning’.
This morning, the Bishop of one of the largest churches in Nigeria continued his onslaught.
I saw children sliced. The United Nations Youth have just written to ask for immediate intervention in this genocide. You don’t know the meaning? Now wait a minute! All the security apparatus in Plateau, even the commissioner has just been removed and a Muslim put there. They are bent on genocide. They are bent on destruction of lives. Some fellows came and were cursing Elisha. He cursed them in the name of the Lord and two she bears came out of the wood and destroyed them. Lord destroy the destroyers. Trouble these troublers, let their hiding places be unveiled. Let your judgement catch up with them. Let your curse locate them. We occupy a strategic position in the kingdom in this nation. Let the Almighty God destroy the destroyers, destroy their household, destroy their generation. Let them be out of existence. Remove their remembrance from the earth. In the name of Jesus. Curse them in the spirit.
The GOC is Muslim. The new Commissioner of Police posted yesterday is Muslim. Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of administration is Muslim, Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of State C.I.D is Muslim. They are bent! These demonic devilish people are bent. Now in the name of Jesus, the curse of the Lord catches up with them. We are not strangers in Nigeria. You are strangers! You don’t dare a people like this! Father,honour the words of your prophet and let judgement catch up with them. Let their roots dry up. Let the blood of these innocent children, pregnant women, let the blood of these innocent believers, Christians in their homeland been slaughtered by these wicked men, let the blood of these individuals be avenged upon them.
Nigeria shall not become Syria. Any devil planning it, the God that I serve will hit at them. Now, God is angry with the wicked everyday.
Any pastor, any believer that is happy with the wicked is an ungodly man. Any man! I don’t care the office you hold. You are not angry with what God is angry with means you are a bastard! Jesus, every sellout in your body, let it be met with judgement.
Christians are complaining of being killed by Muslims and Muslim security officers are sent to referee it. What an insensitive devil! Christians are complaining about the assassination of Christians and then Muslims are now sent to go and oversee without a Christian input. Insensitive devils!
My spirit is angry, the calling on my life is angry. You shall not make away with it! You don’t need permission to hit back at a robber, Christians come awake! You are not dummies, come awake!
Government is not by a group of people, it is government for the people, by the people. Let there be no sympathizer with these wicked people in this church or else the curses we release will touch them.
If your baby is slaughtered, sliced, will you be hanging around like that?
These wicked men are trying to test the ground to see how many places they can get to. You dare any further, you will be resisted with the forces of vengeance.
Let all media people carry it. This is the voice of the Lord for the hour. The anger of the Lord is against the wicked and it shall land on their heads’ Bishop Oyedepo concluded.
Sharing the pictures, Trevor Noah wrote: ”My heart was on a Naija rollercoaster yesterday! Thank you Nigeria for the wild ride.”
The Super Eagles of Nigeria lost the game against Argentina 2-1, a game in which they only needed a draw to ensure a place in the second round of the FIFA 2018 world cup in Russia.
Lionel Messi opened scoring for Argentina in the first half which ended one nil.
However, Nigeria bounced back from the spot with Victor Moses netting.
In the 86th minute, the Nigerian defense couldn’t hold the pressure from the Albeceleste’s attack as Marcos Rojo found the back of the net to secure a place for Argentina who will now be meeting France in the knock-out stage
A slay queen has been humiliated publicly for allegedly stealing N250k from her friend and squandering it on clothes in Delta State.
According to reports, the Delta State Polytechnic student left her friend broke after the act. She was tied up and paraded, yesterday, after eventually being nabbed.
Details about how she was caught are sketchy, however, local reports show that the unnamed woman had previously stolen as much as N250K from her friend.
Luck ran out on her when she tried to steal again recently and she was nabbed.
Students raised alarm and she was surrounded. The young lady’s fate is not known yet as at the time of filing this report. It is not known if she has been handed over to the police.
A youth corp member identified as Medlin Chisom has complained about her boss at her Place of Primary Assignment who is sexually harassing her.
According to her, she has been frequently queried for looking good in her working place.
She took to Facebook to share her grievances as she is under pressure to bow to the man’s demands which she fears could destroy her image if the story leaks.
“This is Nigeria, where you report you are s*xually harassed in your office and you get queried for being cute, having a big ass and not cooperating and prayerful.
Since no-one is willing to help, you decide to cooperate and it leaks, yabaleft, facebook know-hows and instagram term you a cheap slay queen” she said.
Love is a beautiful thing, and when it happens, it does not respect race, financial status or age.
Below are pictures showing a young Nigerian man with his white bride who is an old woman.

Mamuzee twins were sometime ago publicly slammed by Daddy Showkey for neglecting their mother for 17 years which ultimately led to her death.
They have now returned to social media today to reply Daddy Showkey in a post.
Daddy Showkey in one of his many videos said he can no longer be friends with people like Mamuzee Twins who abandon their mother.
Mamuzee wrote: ‘If there is GRACE of GOD in your life, then enemies are inevitable. If no one has ever gossiped or talked bad about you, it means nothing good has ever happened to you. Never feel bad when old friends become new enemies. They are just tired of pretending to be friends’.
Rapper 03 Greedo, who has been sentenced to 20 years in prison, proposed to his longtime girlfriend at his concert on Monday night, hours before he left for prison.
And she accepted the proposal!
Greedo gave his final performance before heading out for jail at a packed house at Belasco Theater in Los Angeles.
While performing his hit, “If I”, the rapper got down on bended knee and popped the question to the amazement of those in the crowd.
And when Kei Bradley said “yes”, the crowd had a pretty epic reaction.
Greedo proposed to his girlfriend less than 48 hours before his prison bid was to begin and she was well aware of the number of years he’ll be doing in jail before she accepted the proposal.
A group of students at Bristol University raised a sum of £1,500 for their school’s cleaner to send him to Jamaica on holiday with his wife, according to BristolLive.
Herman Gordan, who worked at the university for more than a decade, was described as “one of the most loved” members of the university’s cleaning staff.
A heartwarming note from the students read:
“Dear Herman, on behalf of the students at Bristol, we would like to thank you for all the positive energy you have given to us throughout the years.
“You have brightened many of our days and we want you to know that we love and appreciate you.
“We have come together to give you a special gift as our way of saying thank you. Have a lovely summer.”
When he was presented the gift, Herman could not hold back his tears and gave the presenter a big hug.
The GoFundMe page, which was started anonymously, was shared on the university’s Bristruths page.
It started with a short post on Facebook in May, which gathered quite a few likes. Within hours, a GoFundMe page was launched.
It was clear the fundraising was going well, with more than 230 students donating to the appeal. The creators of the GoFundMe page wrote:
“We would like to thank everyone who contributed to this incredible gift. It is truly amazing what we can achieve when we come together.
“It is thanks to your generosity that we’ve been able to raise about £1,500 – meaning both Herman and his wife will be able to visit Jamaica for the first time in four years.”
A set of quintuplets graduated from the University of North Texas on the same weekend – with degrees in five different courses.
Enna, Maria, Emilio, George and John Diaz, 21, donned their caps and gowns to accept their certificates after four years of study.

The quins worked part-time in restaurants, took out student loans and used the university’s financial aid program to put themselves through university.
The siblings graduated with degrees in biology, finance, Spanish, social communication and art last month.
Parents, salesman Jorge, 55, and full-time mum Enna Diaz, 55, watched on proudly as they graduated.

According to reports, the culprits, said to be a group of boys broke into a school somewhere in Delta state and defecated in classrooms.
It was gathered that the boys defecated severally in a pupil’s desk and even locked the desk after that.
Students arrived school the next morning to be greeted by the ordour of faeces. The head teacher, joined by other women took the dump outside, poured oil on them and set it on fire in the middle of the road.
She lay a curse on the culprits and swore that whoever is responsible for the disgusting act will have constant running stomach.
Meanwhile, The Nigerian Law School has now approved the use of hijabs during the call-to-bar ceremonies and has also invited Amasa Firdaus Abdulsalam to attend the ceremony this July.

According to Twitter user @za_icon, The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) released a statement giving updates on the on-going court case with the institution fighting for the rights of Muslim students. Read here (ICYMI)
Wife of Olujonwo Obasanjo, son of Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, who is also a magistrate in Ogun state has filed a counter-affidavit in court.
Olujonwo had approached an Igbosere Magistrate’s Court in Lagos, saying that shortly after the wedding ceremony, he suffered from physical assaults by his wife as well as threats from his wife, adding that he has had to leave his matrimonial home as he feared for his life. He called on the court to intervene and help prevent further attacks.
In this counter-affidavit, Tope refuted allegations of assault against her, while accusing Olujonwo of cheating on her, saying he hasn’t agreed to consummate their marriage.
She alleged that she was lonely at their honeymoon destination for five days while Olujonwo was in a Lagos hotel “in the company of other women”.
According to Jonwo’s wife, the couple never experienced marital bliss. She revealed to have never been loved by her husband. Not only was Tope abandoned during their honeymoon in Monaco, her husband allegedly spent his time with other women while she waited for him to arrive since they did not travel together.
Not only that, she revealed his penchant for abandoning not only their home but their matrimonial bed which he barely slept.
“He was not close enough to me to consummate our marriage, which remains unconsummated as he maintained the constant habit of despising and distancing himself from me despite several efforts I made to endear myself to him.”
She added, “The Applicant (Jonwo) has always meted emotional and psychological hardship on me through the act of abandoning me in his father’s house where he kept me and rendering himself incommunicado during the period of desertion without giving me any reasonable or justifiable explanations upon his return.”
Denying exhibiting any form of violence to her husband, Baba Ijebu’s daughter revealed Chief Obasanjo’s son was allegedly a drug addict who is currently undergoing rehabilitation at a private hospital.
Recall that Jonwo’s mother, a former wife of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, Taiwo, had in 2017 raised the alarm over what she claimed would be the evil consequences of their son, Jonwo Obasanjo marrying Tope.
She also dragged Obasanjo and Adebutu to court to stop the wedding. Taiwo was ignored and the wedding took place amidst pomp on May 11-13 respectively in Lagos.
“My mother-in-law continues to attack, ridicule and defame me with the aim of destroying my career and frustrating my marriage to the Applicant (Jonwo)” Tope also stated about Taiwo Obasanjo.
Debunking many of Jonwo’s claims in his previous affidavit, here is a screenshot of Adebutu-Obasanjo’s counter-affidavit:
Nigerian actress/advertising model, Vera Gerald, has released stunning new photos on her IG page.
The talented actress and brand model shared the photos which shows her flawless skin and advised black people who are fond of changing their skin color to light skin to stop, because the habit is now making most people think every light skin person bleached their skin.
She wrote:
“Maybe the Nigerian Govt should also follow in the steps of Ghana which recently banned bleaching products in the country. It appears that these days, everyone is light skinned- even those whose mothers and fathers are charcoal black.“My light skin is natural, and i won’t have cared if it was black because I really do admire people with clean black skin as well; however it’s becoming a big embarrassment to me when I meet new people and they’re asking me, “What cream do you use, I want to have a skin as light as yours”.
“I don’t know if any of you naturally light-skinned people can relate . Please, whatever skin complexion you were born with, learn to appreciate it. There is more to you than your skin colour. Being light skinned will not make you more attractive than the person with a lovely black skin.
It’s pointless trying to impress any man by bleaching, because he doesn’t want you the way God created you. If you need to bleach to impress a man and keep him, you will eventually lose him when your skin gets damaged. And your previously lovely dark skinned would have been lost for the right people to admire. God doesn’t make a mistake. Believe in yourself. #embraceyourbody.”

The CMD said that he received the news of his death at about 9 p.m. while the match was ongoing.
Ogah said that a friend of the deceased informed him that Ebirim started behaving funny within that period.
“Ebirim’s friend said that the deceased started moving suspiciously and solicited for assistance which made him intervene and took him (Ebirim) to the hospital.
“Efforts made to revive him at our hospital proved abortive as he died but we would liaise with his family to conduct an autopsy.
“We are surprised at his death because he consulted at the hospital on Tuesdays. We have to wait till autopsy is conducted to draw further conclusions,” he said.
A friend of the deceased, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said that he (Ebirim) resided in Owerri with his family and only visited FETHA during his clinic days.
“He was a dedicated and lively fellow who will surely be missed by his family, friends and associates,” he said.

Two teenage girls who were sometime ago reported missing, tortured and raped by some men in Ondo town have returned home.
The girls were declared missing after a video of their naked selves and torture was uploaded on social media platforms by five men who had been remanded in custody for the rape.
The accused – Bode Akinsiku, Olabanji Femi, Abiodun Ayodele, Fadairo Wahab, and Adedayo Adebayo – were alleged to have lured the two teenagers to the house of one of them on Kogbona Street in the town, where the victims were allegedly raped and tortured.
The two raped girls and one other teenager alleged on Tuesday that they were abducted shortly after the rape trial started.
They alleged that the wife of one of the suspects, Toyin Akinsiku, and one Imole, masterminded their abduction.
The teenagers said Akinsiku took them to an unidentified woman in Lagos State, who used them for prostitution and menial jobs.
One of them said, “We were going back home in company with one of our friends, Posi, on the day when the two women forced us to climb an okada and took us towards the Awoyaya area along Ondo-Ore Road in Ondo town, where we later boarded a bus to Lagos.
“Our abductors handed us over to a woman who specialised in hotel business and forced us to become prostitutes in the hotel. We take more than 15 men on a daily basis and the woman gave us N500 every day.
“At times, we were made to hawk sachet water. But when it was weekend, we were inside the hotel for business. We later ran away from the hotel.”
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Femi Joseph, who confirmed the return of the girls, said Toyin had been arrested and would be charged to court for kidnapping.
He said: “The girls were abducted in Ondo and taken to Lagos State for prostitution by the wife of one of the suspects (Toyin), but the girls managed to escape.
“We have arrested Mrs Akinsiku, while the other woman ran away. We will soon charge her to court for kidnapping.”
