A sculptured cake in the likeness of Lionel Messi has been made by Moscow confectioners in celebration of the Argentine’s 31st birthday.
The cake which took nearly a week to make was done when the confectioners learnt that the star player will be having his birthday while still in Russia where the 2018 FIFA world cup is taking place.
“We found out by chance that it was Messi’s birthday on June 24,”said chief confectioner Daria Malkina. “And we thought, ‘why not make Leo a gift, a chocolate sculpture of himself’?”
“We will give Lionel Messi to Lionel Messi,” Malkina said, laughing.
The large cake was put on display in Bronnitsy, a town located about 50 kilometers from Moscow where the Albeceleste of Argentina are based for the tournament.
The Barcelona forward also had his own celebration with fellow team mates at their camp in Russia.
The Argentines are currently preparing to play against the Super Eagles of Nigeria in a final group D game which will determine their continual stay at the world cup.
They drew their first match 1-1 against Iceland with Messi missing a spot kick that would have seen him put his team in front. They got embarrassed 3-0 by Croatia in their second game.
Last night, the awful news of Dbanj son’s death broke and it caused a division online.
Many have consoled and sent in condolence messages to the Oyebanjos.
However, some insensitive Nigerians have chosen to blame the parents for the boy’s death after he reportedly drowned in the pool in their Ikoyi residence.
A Nigerian woman and Facebook user, has penned this thoughtful piece in defence of Dbanj and his wife, Didi Kilgrow.
Read below:
Your mind must be really twisted if you blame Dbanj’s wife over their son’s death.
That your own children or those in your custody are alive is not your making.
In 2016 while Fanu was in phototherapy, a woman rushed in with her son. She was breastfeeding him, he started coughing and suddenly stopped breathing. Sounds trivial, but the boy was dead already. Nothing could be done to bring him back.
Do you know how many children swallow breast milk wrong? Do they all die?
Have you heard of SIDS?
Do you know a very healthy baby the night before could be found dead in the morning?
I know of a woman in 2005 in Mopa, Kogi State who slept on her child and killed her. In error. Only those who knew how she had suffered over said child did not call her a witch.
Someone even said when they will not stop leaving children with childminders. How’s that a sin?
My children are off to creche from their 3rd month of life and nothing will happen to them.
My own creche takes newborn. Nothing will happen to them.
Some mothers die at child birth and leave the child behind. Do these children not live?
My heart goes out to the Oyebanjis. Sending you love, light and hugs.
P.S. Don’t ever wish to be in those shoes. The pains are horrible and indescribable.
As it’s commonplace for some peculiar social media users to take to the pages or accounts of celebrities to condemn them on either their fashion sense or lifestyle or whatever they want to troll them for, Omotunde Adebowale-David better known as OAP Lolo is the recent victim of this circumstance.
After the OAP took to her page to share a quite daring photo of herself donning net socks and a mini skirt that boldly displayed her belly, a fan wondered if she took a look at herself before she stepped out in the outfit.
The fan wrote in the comment section,
“Dnt you look at your body before you wear cloths after you will say you are doing night vigil 4 who na”
To which Lolo replied,
@aris.joey judge and jury
Persisting, the fan then responded to her as thus,
“People praising you are the ones mocking you ….please this outfit doesn’t look good on you .Take it or leave it , Thank you”
Now, she’s taken to her page to address the troll, saying that if it were years back, she woulda been bothered but right about now, she loves herself and she’s less bothered about what others have to say.
President Rodrigo Duterte of Philippines caused a stir in the orthodox Catholic country for calling God “stupid” but his spokesman on Monday defended the contentious statement as his personal belief.
The president made the statement on Friday evening during a speech in his southern home city of Davao, where he questioned God’s logic in the Biblical creation story of Adam and Eve.
“Adam ate (the fruit of knowledge), then malice was born. Who is this stupid God?” he said. “That son of a bitch is stupid if that’s the case.
“You created something perfect and then you think of an event that would tempt and destroy the quality of your work.”
Duterte also questioned the rationale of original sin, noting,
“That was your mother and father’s deed – you weren’t born yet, but now you have original sin.
“What kind of religion is that? I can’t accept it.”
Amid the criticisms over his statements, presidential spokesman Harry Roque urged the public to accept that Duterte tends to use strong language when he expresses his beliefs.
“That is the personal belief of the president,” he said. “We are free to believe in religion and we are also free not to believe in religion.
“The president has his personal spiritual beliefs.”
“We cannot fault the president if he has no sense of hypocrisy and we should accept that because even when he was just a candidate, he never hid that from us,” he added.
According to Sbs.com.au, Duterte has in the past lambasted the Catholic Church in the Philippines, where more than 80 per cent of the population practices the religion, calling priests out for allegations of corruption and sexual abuse.
In light of the tragic event of Nigerian music mogul, D’Banj losing his first son to drowning in a pool inside his house, more details have emerged concerning the tragic incident.
Newer details have been shared on the circumstances surrounding the death of little Daniel Oyebanjo III aka Daniel D Third, the only child of star singer Dapo Oyebanjo Dbanj.
According to a source close to the couple, Daniel was playing with a couple of family friends who paid them a visit at their residence in Ikoyi Lagos on Sunday when the boy wandered away into the backyard where he fell into the pool.
His mother who left the boy with grown kids believing that they are capable of taking care of him later learnt that the boy body was found inside the pool.
He was rushed to the hospital in an unconscious state where he was certified dead – as at that time, his father is in far away Los Angeles California for the 2018 Black Star Entertainment Awards.
The body of the late infant has been transferred to the mortuary.
Few weeks ago, after the singer shared this video on his IG page, a fan had warned him to be watchful of the toddler passing by the indoor pool.
It’s only but sad that what he was warned about became eventualized.
The fan wrote,
Dbanj a pool indoors and your baby passing by the pool….hmm pls be careful, tell wife and caregivers to keep an eye on him o… some chilling are risky
The Chairman of the North Central Zone of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders’ Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) has reacted to the recent attack on Plateau villages by suspected herdsmen, where over 86 people were killed.
According to Daily Post, the Plateau Police Command on Sunday confirmed the killing of 86 persons in the attacks on Razat, Ruku, Nyarr, Kura and Gana-Ropp villages of Gashish District in Barkin Ladi Local Government.
Ciroma in a statement claimed that the attack was in retaliation of the killing of over 300 cows in the last few weeks by the villagers.
He said despite the efforts of the state government, some criminal elements hiding among their people were still frustrating the peace efforts.
“These attacks are retaliatory. As much as I don’t support the killing of human being, the truth must be told that those who carried out the attacks must be on revenge mission.
“There have been recent reports of cow rustling and destruction of farms between Berom farmers and Fulani herdsmen. The people carrying out these criminal activities are well known to the communities but the communities are hiding them.
“Fulani herdsmen have lost about 300 cows in the last few weeks – 94 cows were rustled by armed Berom youths in Fan village, another 36 cows were killed by Berom youths. In addition to that, 174 cattle were rustled and the criminals disappeared with them to Mangu.
“Since these cows were not found, no one should expect peace in the areas. Even soldiers that went after the criminals to recover the rustled cows were shot by the armed rustlers and eventually escaped with all the cows.
“The government of Governor Lalong has done a lot to restore peace, but the criminal elements hiding among their people are the ones frustrating these peace efforts.
“Though the security agencies have tried, they need to do more by being fair to all parties; they should not neglect any report presented by Fulani of Berom because such report can lead to attacks and deaths if not properly handled.
“Criminals thrive a lot in Berom communities, but when the Fulani, who are always victims of their crime, react with attacks, they blame the government.
“These communities have leaders, why hide the criminals? They should fish out the criminals and hand them over to security agencies to avoid death of innocent ones.
“As it is today, the Berom man cannot go to farm, the Fulani cannot breed his cows in Berom Land. This can be stopped if the security agencies do more than what they are currently doing.
The attacks will stop as soon as the security agencies stop Berom youths from stealing Fulani cows” he added.

Two daughters of billionaire oil magnate, Mohammed Indimi, are reportedly on war path as Hauwa is about to be handed in marriage to Mohammed, a son of the late NNPC MD, Abubakar Yar’Adua, who was once reported to have dated another Indimi sister, Fatima.
According to ThisDay, it is also a known fact that Mohammed went on to date President Buhari’s daughter, Zahra, now Ahmed Indimi’s wife, after he broke up with Fatima. .
Ostensibly, this has created some bad blood among the sisters, as they have been polarised in support for and opposition to the planned wedding which is to take place next week. .
Hauwa Indim
According to the report, indications of an imminent hostility among these siblings emerged in March this year when Hauwa got engaged with Mohammed. Her engagement did not appear to have gone down well with few of her sisters and the messy affair was taken to Instagram where they threw shades at one another.
Rahmayi, who is former wife to Mohammed Babangida, was the first to fire a shot when she registered her displeasure at the impending marriage with foul language on Instagram. .
In her words, “…This is f—k, he’s an ex for a reason and now you will go and bring the f—k back to my life. Nahhhh. I won’t support it. There’s a code for this. Friends and family ex’s should be off the table.” .
Rahmayi’s sentiment was echoed by her sister, Zahra Yakaka, who wrote, “If my sister is marrying my ex, she was never my sister in the first place.” .
Miffed at their public outburst, a handle named ‘hauwaindimis_lovers’ responded and berated Rahmayi, advising her to respect her age, show love and be happy for Hauwa.

Argentina fans who are in Russia to support their nation at the ongoing world cup have described Nigerian forward, Ahmed Musa as a big threat to their continuous stay at the mundial.
Some of the Argentines in separate interviews with the News Agency of Nigeria on Monday in Moscow, the Russia capital, said the Super Eagles were in better state of mind going into the match.
To Santiago Lautaro, the Super Eagles are more of a team than the Argentines.
“We only have only individual talents but not a team.
“Ahmed Musa is as dangerous as Lionel Messi but you know he has done better than the Barcelona star in Russia 2018,” Lautaro said.
Matias Franco told NAN that Musa had good statistics against his country but wished the CSKA Moskva player would not have a good day when the Super Eagles filed out against them.
“Our performance has not been good in this competition but it is not over yet.
“I hope we can have a better performance against Nigeria on Tuesday because it will be sad to leave the World Cup now.

Augustin Nicolas, believes that his country will beat Nigeria in the last group game on Tuesday in St. Petersburg because they are the better side.

D’Banj’s son Daniel Oyebanjo III died after he drowned in a swimming pool at the family residence in Ikoyi.
Here is a photo of D’Banj posing beside the swimming pool in his house.
The customized swimming pool has D’banj’s signature DB logo engraved at the bottom.
The music star had taken to his Instagram page on April 1st to post this photo of himself standing beside the pool.
Reports say this is the same swimming pool where his son’s tragic death occurred.
The corpse of the child has been reportedly moved to the morgue.
D’banj was in Los Angeles to attend the 2018 BET Awards when the death of his son occurred.
The singer marked the first birthday of his son, in May.
Meanwhile some insensitive fans are throwing tantrums and blaming the couple for the child’s death.
One Sheun on Nairaland wrote “But was no one around? Kids shouldn’t be left alone around basins of water not to talk of pools that big. This is carelessness on someone’s part. I learnt D’Banj isn’t in the country. Please we need to be careful with kids especially around bodies of water, even ordinary a bathtub filled with water can drown a kid. I hate seeing/hearing kids die cos of avoidable causes. KokoMaster sorry, may God provide a lasting child for you.”
While one Nassbros wrote”Imagine the agony the little boy must have gone through with all that water rushing into his lungs and him helplessly struggling for life cry cry
Honestly, if we had any laws in Nigeria, Dbanj should be seriously questioned and punished without mercy.
A baby must be under watch 2/4/7. Some people have absolutely no idea of what fatherhood and parenthood entails.
They think having a baby is like one of the many trophies and awards in their cupboards to flaunt and showcase to evryone, with no babycare and safety knowledge. SMH”
One Almijud wrote “RIP. But where was the mother when it happened? the only thing today ladies r good at is fighting for gender equality when they can not play their part as mothers properly.
Lesson: Marry responsible ladies!”
Instagram user, Orhibi wrote “Who was with the kid…do you know what it means to die by drowning?the baby died an horrible death.this a very big mistake damn must the baby even swim?tgis has spoilt my day ?”
More details have emerged on how Daniel Oyebanjo aka Daniel D Third, son of Nigerian singer, D’banj died in a swimming pool in their home.
A source close to the family stated that the kid died while his father was away in Los Angeles to witness the 2018 BET Awards, which saw Davido emerge Best International Act.
The source also revealed that the kid was playing with a couple of family friends who paid them a visit at their residence yesterday.
When they got carried away, the little boy wandered off into the backyard where he fell into the pool and drowned.
The boy’s body was later found inside the swimming pool by his mother who thought she left him with grown kids believing they were capable of taking care of him.
He was immediately rushed to the hospital in an unconscious state where he was certified dead. The body of the late infant has been transferred to the mortuary.
All the while, his father D’banj was in far away Los Angeles California.
Nollywood actress Genevieve Nnaji, has sent her condolences to Dbanj and his family over the passing of his son.
The actress shared the photo above and penned a short prayer for them.
She wrote;
“Pls join me in saying this prayer as we commiserate with the Oyebanjo family at this time. We can never fully understand the pain of others but every little prayer helps. @iambangalee our hearts break with yours. Stay strong my dear.”
Ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo has sent his condolences to singer D’banj on the passing of his son Daniel D’Third.
D’banj lost his 13 months old son last night.
The little baby drowned in a pool at their home.
Obasanjo simply took to his Twitter page to send his prayers and condolences.
See photo below:
Meanwhile, Ben Murray Bruce also joined other Nigerians in consoling D’banj over the death of his 13 months old son, Daniel the 3rd who drowned yesterday.
The lawmaker wrote:
‘I am really really sad to read about the death of your lovely son. Death of a child is the saddest thing for any parent. On behalf of my family and I, please do accept our sincerest sympathy’.
Wizkid has revealed that his goal is not to penetrate into the international music market because he doesn’t care about the international appeal.
He revealed this during a chat with BBC, where he spoke about the philosophy guiding his art.
He said that he does care about international appeal although he cares for his international fans.
He stressed that his interest is in getting his music heard, whether it’s by fans in Africa or by fans abroad.
He also said that there is no secret formula to his art, that what he does is that he keeps his music easy and simple; and that he likes the fact that his fans welcome his style of things; music and life.
The singer also spoke about the prospect of African music during the interview.
The wife of Chief Kessington Adebutu, Rosemary Adebutu whose daughter married Obasanjo’s son, Juwon has come out to reveal how his wife, Taiwo Obasanjo collected money from them and still destroyed her son’s marriage.
Since the court summons and sworn affidavit of Jonwo Obasanjo on why he wants to divorce Tope went viral last week, there have been worries from concerned friends and family members.
Even Rosemaary Adebutu whose only child is Taiwo Obasanjo’s daughter-in-law is distraught.
“Why should a man send such documents online?
First, the story was cooked up, there was no assault anywhere. They are aggrieved because there was no material gain like they assumed they would get,” she told kemiashefonlovehaven.
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, the daughter of the Premier Lotto boss, Kessington Adebutu aka Baba Ijebu. She also dragged Obasanjo and Adebutu to court to stop the wedding.
She was ignored and the wedding took place amidst pomp on May 11-13 respectively in Lagos.
But in less than a year after the ceremony, the union has crashed and the young Obasanjo cited domestic violence as his reason for abandoning his home.
This was debunked by a worried Mrs Adebutu said, “I have kept quiet all these months because I am not one to stoop low but I cannot sit back and watch them tell lies against my daughter. She is a magistrate and a civil servant, she cannot be responding to all their lies on the Internet.
“We will meet them in court to clear up all these lies and give them the divorce they want. They should leave us alone,we are tired and the divorce will go ahead as reported.
Did her daughter hit her husband?
Adebutu responded, “Never! Tope has never hit anyone and she is very respectful. They should not tarnish my daughter’s name and career. All these lies and press attacks are orchestrated by Olujonwo and his mum and he has been denying that he is not the one who released the court papers and exhibits to the press. How can a man bring his private matters to blogs? Is that a man?”
Revealing that former President Obasanjo and Chief Adebutu are not happy with the recent development, Mrs Adebutu exonerated her daughter from allegations levelled against her by her young husband.
“Tope’s father was called in London as well and he is not happy at all with all these lies. Tope, my daughter, has never threatened his life or abused him. Olujonwo is mentally disturbed and that is what the problem is now and he is also being manipulated by his mother.
I have called Obasanjo to register my displeasure at all the lies, I have told him they should leave my family alone.”
That Taiwo Obasanjo attempted to stop the wedding before it took place spells interferences from a mother-in-law who never liked her son’s wife.
On this, Adebutu said, “If a mother has the interest of her son at heart,even if you don’t want him to marry someone again, why take it this dirty? Get someone else for your son and stop dragging my daughter in the mud!
After this lavish wedding, it is a pity that Taiwo and her son have messed up the union. Olujonwo is on drugs and we didn’t know before now.
It was even the younger sister who reported to Obasanjo that Olujonwo is on drugs before he knew about it. He is in a rehab currently undergoing treatment but to avoid any media attention, doctors are treating him at home. So all the while Taiwo Obasanjo was shouting her son was missing, he was in a rehab!
“When the couple was living together, Sometimes he didn’t allow his wife go into his room because of the drugs.
His mother is not a good woman, she should look for somewhere to sit down and repent from disturbing the peace in her son’s home. She has called me all sorts of names— vulture and a snake— but she is worse than the names she called me.
“I am not in a cult like her. I am all for Jesus and my hands are clean. I don’t go around slandering people’s character as she does.
Taiwo Obasanjo is not happy that after collecting over N4m from Chief Kessington Adebutu, she dare not appear before him again since she has disgraced herself. How can a mother use her son as a bait for financial gain?”
”Even her son, Jonwo is angry that he has not gained anything financially from the marriage.
They should leave us alone, we are not interested in the marriage again as well. The problems are too much. They should leave my daughter alone!
I have told Chief Obasanjo also that we are done with this. Though Jonwo is denying that he put the story out there we are used to this pattern from him and his mum. Let my daughter be.”
Leicester City forward, Kelechi Iheanacho has revealed what his team-mates will do to Argentina ahead of Nigeria’s World Cup clash with them on Tuesday evening.
Iheanacho is upbeat about the Super Eagles’ chances of making it to the last sixteen.
The South Americans are on the brink of elimination from the World Cup after their humiliating 3-0 loss to Croatia on Thursday.
”They are a strong team as you know, we have played against them and we won, they wanted us to beat Iceland so that they come at us,” Iheanacho told reporters in the mixed zone.
”It is going to be a difficult game for them, we have to fight together and do everything possible to beat them in that game despite they have good players and are a quality side. We need to show them we are from Nigeria.”
The Super Eagles landed in Saint Petersburg at approximately 1925 hours local time on Sunday evening.
They will resume training for the match against Argentina tomorrow.
A 15-yr-old Nigerian rapper identified as Jordan Gbolade Jaiyeola has been stabbed to death in a fight.
The fight happened after a birthday party at a Community Centre in East London.
Three teenage boys have been arrested on suspicion of murder and have been taken to separate police stations for questioning. The teenage drill rapper known locally as Jordan Douherty, was found with knife wounds and died at the scene.
The Met Police said they were called to the centre in Romford on Saturday night after fighting broke out after up to 100 youths mobbed the event. Jordan is the youngest victim to be fatally stabbed in London this year. More than 80 murder investigations have now been launched across London this year alone.
The aspiring rap star appeared in a number of YouTube videos with the group C17 under the alias Young Valenti. Their lyrics reference gang and knife violence, rapping about using “skengs” and “shanks” (knives) to “dip” and “splash” (stab) their “opps” (gang rivals), the Sun reports.
A witness who gave her name only as Carol said;
“it was chaos out here last night” and described hearing friends of the victim screaming and sobbing.
She told the Press Association: “Around 9.20pm I heard a lot of noise going on. For some reason it didn’t sound right. It was mostly black boys out there.
“Then I heard a lad crying down the phone ‘he’s dead, he’s dead’.
“He was lying down in the road, there was a lot of blood. The police were working on him, they tried their absolute damnedest with that boy last night.”
A teenager, who saw the aftermath of the attack and gave her name only as Ellie, added:
“There was a big group on the corner with just the boy on the floor.
“There were paramedics doing shocks and CPR on him for quite a while. The best part of an hour. After, he was just laying there with a white sheet over him, it was covered in blood.”
