About a week ago, the video of the general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor E.A Adeboye, saying people who do not pay tithe will not make heaven, caused a serious frenzy on the Nigerian internet.
The video generated a lot of reactions on social media with many Nigerians, particularly Christians, asking if that is what the bible really says. Watch the video here.
In an obvious response to Pastor Adeboye’s statement, Reno Omokri via his twitter handle, wrote,
“The only qualification Jesus gave for entry to heaven is that you should be born again then born of water and the Spirit. No pastor can set a financial qualification to entering heaven. Paying tithes has nothing to do with entering heaven. Such pastors should read 1 Timothy 6:5-6”.
Yesterday a twitter user who is a member of RCCG, described Pastor Adeboye as a fraud over his comment on tithing. Read what the RCCG member wrote on twitter here.
Baltimore police have charged a babysitter with first-degree child abuse five in connection with the death of a 6-month-old girl who was placed under her care.
Lataya Hutchins, 32, was arrested on Thursday and charged with first-degree child abuse in the death of Indira Henderson five months ago.
According to CBS Baltimore, police were called to the 5400 block of Plainfield Ave., just before 9 a.m, on November 18, 2017, to investigate an unconscious baby.
Responding officers found a 6-month-old girl, Indira Henderson, being treated by medics. She was rushed to a local hospital, where she was later pronounced dead.
Following an autopsy which was conducted on Nov. 19, 2017, and completed on March 30, 2018, baby Indira death was ruled a homicide by poisoning.
It was revealed that she died as a result of poisoning from Lidocaine, an anesthetic often used to treat irregular heartbeats.
Investigation into Henderson’s death revealed that her babysitter, Hutchins, had administered an enema to Henderson because the infant had not pooped in four days.
After getting permission from Henderson’s mother, Hutchins reportedly placed a foreign object covered with the substance in the baby’s bottom, and applied a lubricant to the pipette with warm water.
Doctors found that the lubricant used by Hutchins had Lidocaine in it, which led to the baby’s death.
Kemi Olunloyo disagrees with Police PRO who said Davido’s girlfriend won him over with food.
The Police PRO had attributed Davido’s intense love for his girlfriend, Chioma Avril Rowland to her cooking skills.
ASP Badmus had posted:
The best way to an African man’s soul is through food. All ladies out there should learn how to prepare dishes!
No man wants to be eating from restaurants all the time. Homemade food are the best! if you are confused ask that boy that killed Goliath why after 3 or 4 baby mamas, he is sticking and dotting roundabout that @chef.
That girl has obviously won the game and will be getting her left 4th finger filled with Mr D’s ring soon!
You all thought it’s juju??? No no no she’s gotten him through dishes (power of food) young ladies get yourselves into kitchen and learn how to make good recipes and mr right will stay.
According to Kemi Olunloyo, the post is a fallacy.
She doesn’t agree to the theory that Chioma a.k.a chefchi won Davido’s heart with food.
She said;
Aunty Olopa Dolly Badmus says that we better know how to cook before we can even find a good man who will put a ring on it.
We that have cooked like crazy for different men in our lifetime nko? Abeg Superintendent of the kitchen ni mi o.

“Having a great time with @olisaadibua and @osi_suave of @thebeat999fm What a privilege to meet @davidoofficial ….I am a star �� For ever grateful to you guys”
While other housemates seem to be at peace with each other, the same cannot be said for Cee-C and Alex.
Things appear to be intense in the house amongst the 5 remaining housemates.
The two have been known to constantly be at logger-heads with each other.
Although most people attribute their beef to the fact that Tobi is closer to Alex than Cee-C, who is now the Head Of House.
Currently not on good terms, Alex decided to be the bigger person by tendering at apology to Cee-C for anything and everything she may have done to upset her.
She read the apology letter in the presence of the other housemates.
The Borno Police Command on Tuesday confirmed the arrest of a female suicide bomber at the Bakassi Internally Displaced (IDPs) camp in Maiduguri.
According to a statement by Edet Okon, Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), in Maiduguri, the suicide bomber was arrested by men of the Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) team, on Tuesday at about 6: 50 a.m. while lurking around the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camp.
He said that policemen condoned off the area, diffused the bomb and apprehended the suspect. The police spokesman added that the suspect is in police custody.
Okon said: “on Tuesday, at about 6:50 a.m., a female suicide bomber was sighted behind Bakassi IDP camp in Maiduguri metropolis. On sighting the bomber, conventional policemen alongside the EOD team swung into action and cordoned the area, to prevent escape of the bomber into the city. The suspect, one Zara Idriss was rendered safe, arrested and is now in custody”.
Okon advised members of the public to go about their normal activities without fear and to report any suspicious movement in their localities to security agencies. He reiterated the command’s commitments to protect lives and property in the state.
Pepper spray (also known as capsicum spray) is a lachrymatory agent (a chemical compound that irritates the eyes to cause tears, pain, and temporary blindness) used in policing, riot control, crowd control, and self-defense, including defense against dogs and bears.
In Nigeria, it has come to our knowledge that possessing that spray in public is illegal and it might get you arrested.
This was evident in a reply to a twitter user who according to her was in poice custody because she was found with a pepper spray.
The user with the handle @yoitspizzu tweeted ;
@YomiShogunle oga yomi your boys have stopped me for owning a pepper spray saying it’s an offense .. currently at Igando police station
Yomi Shogunle, who is the assistant Commisioner of Police in the state replied ;
What are you doing with a pepper spray?
Pepper spray is an offensive weapon, Nigeria ?? Law prohibits going armed in the public.

An American man got more than what he bargained for in a recent incident as he had a really embarrassing moment when he got stuck inside a sex doll and had to make a distress call to 911. When police arrived, they filmed the process of trying to get the man unstuck and it’s extremely hilarious to watch.
The man, simply identified as Andrew, is seen on his bed, begging the uniformed officers who responded to his call, not to call for more help, obviously out of embarrassment. But the officers informed him they needed to as they couldn’t extricate him from the sex toy on their own.
“I’m in pain, Don’t judge me,” he kept screaming in agony. .
“If you don’t want to be judged, don’t call the sheriff’s department,” a male officer replied in exasperation.
The officers had to ask him some uncomfortable questions in order to figure out a way to help him.
“Are you stuck inside or under,” a female officer asked.
Andrew replied: “A little bit of all that.”
The male officer then said in a cheeky manner: “Can I ask you a question, man to man? And I don’t know her very well (referring to the sex doll). Are you going in the front or back cos I honestly can’t tell.”
Andrew replied: “Right now, I’m doing the front ’cause I already, I sort of messed up the back a little.”
It’s hard not to laugh at this point as the male officer inhales audibly, then exhales and asks him, “sort of messed up the back?”
To which Andrew replied: “I’m getting judged so completely.”
The male officer then faced the camera and said: “Kids at home, in case you’re watching, there’s a whole lot of predicaments in the world you can get out of with a simple understanding of some physics and some chemistry. So what’re you gonna do?”
The officers then warmed up their hands then tried to force the sex doll up. Andrew screamed out in pain at this but it didn’t work immediately. After so much effort, they finally succeeded in freeing the man.
Big Brother Naija housemate and finalist, Alex has written an apology letter (Poem) to Cee-C and read it in front of the other housemates, shedding tears as she reads.
The long standing quarrel started when Alex and Tobi were paired together as Tolex, and the two became very close even after Tobi and Cee-C eventually parted ways.
Alex apologized and said “I’m sorry if i hurt you”.
On CeeC’s part, she said she’s not fighting anyone in the House.
Theresa May the British Prime Minister, has appealed to the President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari and other leaders of Commonwealth nation to legalize same sex marriage in their countries.
May made the appeal while speaking at the first joint forum at the ongoing Commonwealth Head of Government Meetings in Westminster today April 17th.
May asked President Buhari and other leaders of the Commonwealth nations to rescind every law that discriminates against same-sex relationships. She regretted that some of the laws actually originated from Britain.
“Across the world, discriminatory laws made many years ago, continue to affect the lives of many people tens of millions of young people. Criminalising same-sex relations and failing to protect women and girls. I am all too aware that these laws were put in place by my own country; they were wrong then and they are wrong now. As the UK’s prime minister, I deeply regret that those laws were introduce…as a family, we must respect one another’s cultures and traditions, but we must do so in a manner consistent with equality, as it is clearly stated in the Commonwealth charter.” she said
In January 2007, President Buhari signed the bill criminalizing all forms of sex same relationships in Nigeria. A 14 year jail term was stipulated for anyone found guilty of indulging in any same-sex relationship.

Wrestling champion, John Cena, 40, and Nikki Bella, 34, have broken off their engagement and putting an end to their 6 years relationship leaving their fans in total shock.
The wrestlers who got engaged a year ago at the Wrestlemania 33 revealed their separation to US Weekly.
“While this decision was a difficult one, we continue to have a great deal of love and respect for one another,” the couple told US in a statement. “We ask that you respect our privacy during this time in our lives.”
Cena and Bella have been dating since 2012 and have been engaged for 1 year. Cena’s proposal to Bella was a rather romantic and unique one – he proposed immediately after he and Bella defeated married wrestlers, Miz and Maryse in a tag team match in the ring. After the win, Cena grabbed the mic, went on one knee and proposed.
The pair were last spotted in public together at Wrestlemania 34 on Sunday, April 8. On Saturday, April 14, the Blockers star posted an Instagram photo of a quote from Walt Whitman that read, “We were together. I forget the rest.”
Last month, Cena spoke with Us Weekly about their relationship, admitting that it takes a lot of work.
He said:
“Relationships are hard. Don’t ever think that love is easy. Love is beautiful, but we’ve had to come to the realization after being together for five years that love is not easy.
“We work every day on us. We have our problems just like everybody else. Some of our problems are very public, some of them aren’t. But we work every day on us. Anytime I get upset, I always just realize that I can’t live without her and I love her and that’s why I cave in on a lot of stuff.”
He continued:
“It takes being able to mesh two lives. I would never ever want Nicole to be in a position where she says, ‘I’m holding you back from doing this because I feel it’s wrong for us.’ And I would never say that to her. That’s why she’s super busy and sometimes we don’t see each other for months at a time, but when we do see each other, it’s our time together. I think, for now at least, that is certainly what’s making this work.”
Babatunde Fashola the Minister of Power, Works and Housing has said that Nigerians currently enjoy better electricity supply than what was obtainable in the past.
He said that was the feedback he has gotten so far from the consumers.
He disclosed this at the April 2018 edition of the monthly power sector operators meeting in Umuahia, Abia State.
He said right thinking Nigerians have revealed to him that they now spend less amount of money to power their alternative source of electricity and enjoy a good quantity from the National grid.
”We are on a journey to a destination of promise and eventual prosperity and I use this occasion to salute the efforts and contributions of all those who have brought us this far.
“Even if those who were most vocal in condemnation when the situation appeared very dire are now uttering some muted acknowledgment that it has improved, we must continue to draw inspiration from well-meaning and right thinking Nigerians who were gracious enough to publicly acknowledge that they are saving some money from diesel and the money they used to spend for generators; they are running their generators for fewer hours; and they are getting comparably more power than before.
“It is because of those gracious and well-meaning and right thinking Nigerians that we must dig deeper, work harder and be more determined to improve service delivery” he said.
Nigerian singer, Wande Ojosipe better known as Wande Coal, has been accused by his baby mama of dumping her after she gave birth to their baby.
She also alleges that the singer abducted their baby for 8 years – the singer had kept this part of his life private from his fans as not so much of his fans knew he had a child until he made it public in 2015.
The singer, while talking with Ehiz on MTV Base Real Talk, opened up for the first time about his then 7-year-old son, who he knew existed while the lad was still a toddler.
His babymama, Temitope Ogunnusi has however, in a new interview with NewsmakersNG, revealed that the singer impregnated her while she was just 16 years of age and immediately after the birth of the baby, the baby was taken away from her.
According to her, she met the popular former Mavin’s artiste at Jubilee Estate, near Otedola Estate, Lagos in 2008.
Temitope disclosed in the interview, that their love grew stronger by the day until when she told the singer that she was pregnant, which he didn’t take so well and immediately rejected the pregnancy on the stance that it would destroy his career as a budding artiste then.
“Do you want to kill my career?” he allegedly asked Temitope.
Temitope however mentioned that other artistes close to wande were aware of the situation. She said:
“Oladapo Daniel Oyebanjo aka D’Banj knew all that happened. He was close to Wande Coal, and he was the person I first complained to when the pregnancy was rejected. D’Banj was shocked. He said ‘No, Wande cannot deny this.”
But then, the news of Joseph’s birth filtered to Wande Coal and his parents – his mother, Mrs. Omolara Oluwayemisi Ojosipe, arranged to see the baby, and she was allegedly amazed at the resemblance.
That was in 2010, when Joseph was just one and a half years old. Shortly after that, Wande Coal’s parents allegedly arranged for a DNA test to be done on Joseph. The result came out positive, giving them a 100 per cent assurance that Joseph was actually their grandson.
According to Temitope, Mrs. Ojosipe must have decided to have their grandson in their custody when she visited Temitope’s mother afterwards.
One morning, she went to the market, bought some food stuffs which she took to Temitope’s mother. Mrs Ojosipe told the unsuspecting woman (Temitope’s mum) that she wanted her grandson to spend some time with her, with a promise to take care of him.
Temitope woke up one Saturday morning, full of expectation that she would be reunited with the father of her son. With the invitation she had received, she packed clothes that would last a few days for herself and her son.
They were actually well received and she eagerly waited for Wande’s arrival that weekend. Then his call came and Wande’s mom talked with him on phone. When it seemed the call would soon end, Temitope moved nearer just to indicate her interest in speaking to him.
This must have infuriated Wande’s mother, who got up, moved to her room, dragged Joseph with her, and said, “speak to your son,” as she entered the room with the child.
Then, she slammed the door behind her and shut Temitope out.
Temitope said Mrs Ojosipe told her: “My son cannot marry a low class woman.”
Unknown to Temitope, there were more surprises in store for her.
Since 2010, Joseph has been in the custody of Wande Coal’s mum and Wande Coal had publicly admitted the paternity of the child. He was said to have released Joseph’s picture when the boy marked his birthday on June 20, 2015.
Now, Temitope said she had spent the last eight years waking up in tears and pain in her heart.
“Please just let me see my son,” she begged during this interview. “He’s the only one I’ve got.”
NewsmakersNG however say they’ve not been able to reach out to Wande Coal for him to speak on the issue as he has rendered himself incommunicado.
The Nigeria police force has explained why they have not paraded the husband and murderer of the late fast rising Nigerian songstress, Alizee and her daughter.
According to them, they are following the due process all because the man is not a Nigerian.
Police Commissioner Imohimi Edgal yesterday suggested that there were attempts by the suspect to cover up his crime, which forensic experts traced with the use of special chemical reagents.
He said:
“The autopsy revealed that Mrs Zaynab Nielsen suffered trauma as a result of the impact on her head. Secondly, forensic experts revealed that there were blood stains from the couple’s bedroom to the kitchen.
Though it was cleverly wiped from the floor, the experts were still able to detect it with the application of special chemical reagents. In addition, blood stains were also discovered on the wash hand basins and on the hand towel the suspect used in wiping his hands after the commission of the offence. Although it was cleverly cleaned up as well, the experts were able to discover that too.”
He also expressed that the Danish embassy was cooperating with them and they have provided legal representation for the suspect.
“I spoke personally with the ambassador apart from the official correspondence. They also arranged for counsel for their citizen so they are following the process very closely. We did not parade the suspect for obvious reasons. Do not forget he’s not a Nigerian and so, there are diplomatic connotations.
“This is a man being accused of first degree murder. So, it would have been wrong for the police who are going to prosecute him, to also begin to parade him before such prosecution.
However, he was charged to an open court. We are concerned with ensuring that he is diligently prosecuted and justice is done.”
Chief Olusegun Obasanjo wrote President Muhammadu Buhari an explosive open letter earlier this year.
This letter sparked controversy in the entire nation.
Now the open letter has been used as part of a question to be answered by 100 level Mass Communication students of the University of Ilorin.
See the question below…
In the open letter titled “THE WAY OUT: A CLARION CALL FOR COALITION FOR NIGERIA MOVEMENT,” Obasanjo raised some issues of national importance.
Below are top fifteen things he said in his letter to President Buhari:
1. Obasanjo acknowledged he knew that President Buhari “is weak in the knowledge and understanding of the economy.” He added: “Although, I know that you cannot give what you don’t have and that economy does not obey military order. You have to give it what it takes in the short-, medium- and long-term.”
2. He said President Buhari is weak “in understanding and playing in the foreign affairs sector.”
3. He asked Buhari to stop condoning corruption among some inner caucus of the Presidency. “Culture of condonation and turning blind eye will cover up rather than clean up. And going to justice must be with clean hands,” Obasanjo urged the President.
4. He acknowledged President Buhari’s achievement in the fight against insurgency “although it is not yet uhuru!”
5. He accused the Buhari-led federal government of wittingly or unwittingly allowing the herdsmen/crop farmers’ crisis “to turn sour and messy.” He said: “It is no credit to the Federal Government that the herdsmen rampage continues with careless abandon and without finding an effective solution to it.”
6. He accused some Governors, who endorsed President Buhari for a second term a day after 73 victims (of herdsmen attacks) were being buried in a mass grave in Benue State without condolence, of being insensitive and callous.
7. He said the issue of herdsmen/crop farmers’ dichotomy should not be left on the political platform of blame-game and charged the Federal Government to take the lead in bringing about solution that protects life and properties of herdsmen and crop farmers alike and for them to live amicably in the same community.
8. He also accused President Buhari of “nepotic deployment bordering on clannishness and inability to bring discipline to bear on errant members of his nepotic court,” with special reference to Mainagate.
9. He said President Buhari’s “poor understanding of the dynamics of internal politics” has affected general national security, thus “wittingly or unwittingly making the nation more divided” and widened the inequality gap.
10. He accused the Buhari-led government of buck-passing.
“For instance, blaming the Governor of the Central Bank for devaluation of the Naira by 70% or so and blaming past governments for it, is to say the least, not accepting one’s own responsibility. Let nobody deceive us, economy feeds on politics and because our politics is depressing, our economy is even more depressing today. If things were good, President Buhari would not need to come in. He was voted to fix things that were bad and not engage in the blame game,” he said.
11. He advised President Buhari not to “over-push his luck or over-tax the patience and tolerance of Nigerians.”
12. He urged President Buhari to honourably “dismount from the horse.”
“He needs to have time to reflect, refurbish physically and recoup and after appropriate rest, once again, join the stock of Nigerian leaders whose experience, influence, wisdom and outreach can be deployed on the side line for the good of the country,” Obasanjo counselled.
13. He said the opposition party has shown no better promise from their antecedents. “As the leader of that Party for eight years as President of Nigeria, I can categorically say there is nothing to write home about in their new team.”
14. He canvassed for the creation of a Coalition for Nigeria (CN) Movement which will consist of people who are concerned and willingly-ready for positive and drastic change, progress and involvement “that will give hope and future to all our youth and dignity and full participation to all our women.”
15. He charged Nigerians “to do the extra-ordinary things of changing the course and direction of our lacklustre performance and development” as a nation.
“If leadership fails, citizens must not fail and there lies the beauty and importance of democracy. We are challenged by the current situation; we must neither adopt spirit of cowardice nor timidity let alone impotence but must be sustained by courage, determination and commitment to say and do and to persist until we achieve upliftment for Nigeria,” he urged.
Meanwhile some Nigerians have started selling the letter in public
Mike Nwanegbo, a Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) pastor has defended General Overseer, Pastor Enoch A Adeboye who said anyone who doesn’t pay tithe wouldn’t enter heaven.
According to Nwanegbo, his friend’s wife was in a vision where she was barred from entering heaven because she wasn’t a tither.
In the 7 minute video which was shared on Youtube, the RCCG pastor condemned the people that fail to pay their tithe.
He also criticised unconventional and controversial pastor Sunday Adelaja for faulting Adeboye’s “tithe for heaven” conclusion.
The video which has gone viral on social media, sparked outrage from users.
Many have blasted the pastor for sharing his shocking claim.

Gbenga Daniel’s eldest son Adebola Irede Daniel became paraplegic at the age of 5, but he didn’t let this deter him.
In 2017, he bagged a Master’s degree with Distinction in Mechanical Engineering from the University College, London (UCL).
Debola bagged a Bsc degree in Mechanical Engineering from University of Surrey and went on to UCL for his Masters programme.
He is one of the most efficient automotive drivers.
One of his posts sometime in 2017 reads:
“I was born into a very comfortable home, with both amazing parents and without a disability.
“However, when I turned 5, I was diagnosed with Paraplegia – a rare condition with no medical clarity. I became confined to a wheel chair.
“Growing up in Nigeria, I unconsciously associated disability to poverty and crime, to amputated beggars on the streets mostly as a result of Sharia Law subscribed to in the North. T
“That was the general opinion of most Nigerians in my social circle as a child.
“Having myself become physically challenged, I was exposed to the stigma and assumptions that came with being ‘disabled’ all of a sudden,
“I was looked at with pity, with judgment and sometimes with resentment by my fellow country men.
“As I became an adult, I began to realize that the onus was on me to make something of myself and create my life and future the way I envisioned it.
“My future is, and would always be in my own hands”.
He also mentioned preparations are in top gear to officially engage his Jamaican lover, Natasa Morrison.
Debola recently spoke with City People’s Assistant Editor, SUNDAY ADIGUN, on his life, his father and how he is set to engage his lover next year.
Excerpts from the interview below:
Tell me about your life as OGD’s son?
It’s a normal life, there is nothing special about it, we go to school and finished like everyone else, Daddy has always raised us in a way to make sure that we don’t think of ourselves being better than anyone else. We are the same as everyone else, we are first and foremost an individual before any tags, so it’s a normal life, and thanks to our parents.
Tell me about your girlfriend?
My fiancee is amazing, she is wonderful, she would be surprised soon. She doesn’t know it coming, but it’s coming soon, hopefully about this time next year we would be celebrating it big.
What can you say about Otunba Gbenga Daniel’s political aspiration?
I always say to him to do what he thinks is right, Daddy never gets involved in anything unless he believes in it, and once he believes in it I also believe in him, it’s as simple as that.
If he wants to push further, we are behind him. If he thinks he is tired, we are behind him. Whatever it is we will always support him.
When your dad was in power, where were you and what role did you play?
At the time when he was in power, I was in secondary school and not in Nigeria, so I experienced it from a distance, having that kind of position in power is very inspiring when you have a parent who can network and talk to the powers that are ruling the country, it opens a lot of doors for one to be sincere, it was a humble experience.
This has gotta be the funniest thing y’all have seen all day – Canadian policemen arrested a canine after it reportedly attacked a deer.
The owner of the dog who was overwhelmed by her dog being arrested, took to Twitter to share the tragicomedic saga and it has since gathered more than half a million of likes.
Emme Thompson shared via a tweet,
someone called the police on my dog because he ran away and attacked a deer and i know this is serious but the sight of him in the cop car i’m alskdjfhsgh ????
Eventually, the canine got released and now everyone wonders whether he’ll remember his punishment for attacking a deer…
btw his name is finn, he’s out now but we’re still waiting to find out what’ll happen to him. he’s a good boy he just hates deer ?
thank you SO much for all the nice messages and replies asking about finny! i wish i had time to answer all of them – they let us off with a warning and he is going to be just fine!
Lolu has arrived the country and indeed, they received quite an overwhelming welcome from their fans.
Anto, Khloe and Lolu were the last evicted housemates from the Big Brother house after they gathered the least votes during last weeks’s eviction show.
The trio coulda made it to the finals if only they’d garnered more votes to beat Miracle and Cee-C, who were up for eviction alongside them.
Anto who was quite elated to see her fans, shared a video on her page writing,
Good morning fam. Thanks to the Anto Army soldiers that received me at the airport yesterday. I feel so LOVED. Thanks for the kind words and the gifts.
Thanks for your support all throughout my #bbnaija journey.
Stay tuned…. I have so much planned and I am looking forward to meeting you both virtually and in person.
Anto is small but MIGHTY with the support of ANTO ARMY.
Cee-C family has finally responded to criticism about them not sending her a message like other contestants’ families did.
The housemate’s dad’s P.A, Dana, sent a message to her on behalf of the family which caused major issues online.
Following the major backlash the family received, Cee-C’s sister Vanessa issued a statement on the issue and the reason the family did what they did.
She shared the photo below…
… and wrote,
‘I know some of us would have preferred I did the video. And trust me, I really wanted to. I needed to tell her a whole lot, especially the love from you ALL.
‘Well, when we were contacted they requested a selfie video from anybody apart from the family. It was really short notice.
‘Dana is a family Friend. She was actually part of my bridal train. And we all Know Cee-C has a bad sight. Don’t let no one distract you with non-issue. We totally and fully behind Cee-C. ‘
‘That said let’s keep voting we will meet In lagos Next Week??.”
The really heartwarming moment a father and his daughter clung to each other during her wedding while they cried has begun melting hearts on social media.
Both father and daughter couldn’t hold back tears during the Northern marriage ceremony – their emotional moment was quite contagious as other guests in the background can be seen feeling the moment too.
Quite a beautiful moment that was captured on camera and we have “sani maikatanga” to thank for that… See the lovely photos below:
Big Brother Africa former housemate, Tayo Faniran who represented Nigeria during his time, has slammed people making Cee-C look like the devil in the Big Brother Naija house.
The PayPorte ambassador admitted that he has seen her soft side and when a fan who didn’t quite agree with him came at him, he made sure to drag this fan to the mud.
Tayo Faniran had tweeted;
Why are they making it obvious that they dislike Ceecee,she has been too much at times but I’ve seen her soft side,I admire her confidence and self believe #BBNaija
And then the following ensued when a fan decided to reply him,
