Nigeria and Arsenal Football club Footballer Alex Iwobi has taken to his IG page to share a cute throwback photo of himself to mark his 22nd birthday.
Iwobi posted the photo below with the caption ; +1 Grateful
Alex Iwobi was born on the 3rd of May 1996 in Lagos, Nigeria.
He is the nephew of former professional footballer Jay-Jay Okocha, and he joined Arsenal while still at primary school, and was first involved in a first-team match as an unused substitute in a League Cup match against West Bromwich Albion on 25 September 2013.
Alexander recently admitted that he has difficulties in singing the Nigerian national anthem which he is yet to fully learn.
He said ;
I know it but I don’t know it well. When they are recording, the camera comes on you I know what to say. For the Nigerian viewers I do know it.”
The Hale End Academy product was also quizzed about scoring the goal that qualified the Super Eagles for the 2018 World Cup and he said: “When I scored I saw my parents in the crowd, I was almost crying. It was a nice feeling.”
It’s no longer news that Davido bought his lovely girlfriend of 5 years Chioma, a Porshe car worth N45M.
The news broke the internet and has continued to do so ,but a Nigerian man by name olakunle alison has taken to facebook to give his two cents about the whole scenario.
Olakunle Allison who described himself as a truthsayer wrote;
A generation of women sold to money slave camps.
Sticking with a man to whom you are not married and who cheated on you with several women, impregnating two of them in the process (baby mamas) whilst dating you, and then became an accidental ‘baby-daddy’ is NOT LOVE just because he bought you a #45million car.
You are a needy, opportunistic, parasitic, gold-digging, low self-esteem sufferer. A Stockholm syndrome patient. You are not loyal. You are a liar. A prostitute and you share some moral equivalence.
The only reason any woman would endure contemptible treatments from a man is because of what she looks to gain materially and financially.
Let’s stop ridiculing the word ‘Love’ for the sake of posterity so that they’d be able to distinguish between virtue and vice.
There is simply no virtue in staying with a man who openly disrespects you over a period of years. None. And buying you the moon and stars will not make up for him treating you like human fecal matter. Money cannot buy moral worth. Rather money distorts moral worth. And that’s what is happening these days.
Permit me to digress a bit whilst I elucidate on point of ethics.
Humans are created with a deep sense of moral worth. This simply means that every human being loves to be treated like a rare and precious stone. It’s just the way our Maker made us. The desire to be loved, admired, desired, respected, treated fairly and kindly is part of our teleology. So when anybody willingly and voluntarily subjects himself or herself to vile and inhumane treatments for other considerations it basically reduces that person to an object rather than a subject. The person has objectified himself or herself.
Believe it or not, what we are witnessing today is one of the unintended fallouts of the extreme faction of feminism: The Moral Self-Depreciation of Womenfolk. After all, the cardinal philosophy of modern feminism is CHOICE and SELF AUTONOMY. So who are we to question a woman who CHOOSES to stay in an abusive but profitable relationship? If she has a right to choose who stays in her body and a right to choose her role in a marriage, why not this?
I once wrote a piece on the tyranny of freewill (choice). Generally, humans don’t have the tool box necessary to make good choices. A man’s choice will only be consistent with his true nature. And man is deeply flawed by nature, hence his choices must necessarily be flawed. A greedy man will always choose money above morals, yet he needs morals more. A dog by nature must bark and a cat moan.
Knowing this, it is therefore suicidal to build an ideology on human choices and self autonomy. Nobody (man or woman) should be self autonomous. In reality, nobody is. Everyone needs a governing and regulatory authority that sets boundaries; both moral and spatial boundaries. This is necessary for the survival of humanity because our natural appetite is self destructive. We need to be delivered from ourselves.
Feminism is toxic not because of its intended consequences but because of its unintended ones, and we are already seeing them play out. If consistency matters, no hardline feminist should be able to condemn any woman who chooses abuse and disrespect over self dignity. IT IS HER CHOICE!
We should not teach our daughters that CHOICE is the best power they have. Knowledge is. With knowledge they’d understand that they don’t just make choices but that their choices make them.

Detectives attached to Yaba Police Division, Wednesday rescued two minors, 10-year-old Mukaila Ya’u and two-year-old Mariam Jubril from their abductor, one Mary Henry.
The suspect, had abducted the two kids along Herbert Macaulay Way, Yaba, while on their way to an errand.
The state Commissioner of Police, Imohimi Edgal, who paraded the suspect before newsmen wednesday evening said the abductor was first noticed by the Yaba Divisional Police Officer, CSP Mary Ubangha, who was on a surveillance duty along Little Road, Yaba.
Edgal said the DPO observed that the middle aged woman who was going along the road appeared worried and restless.
He said: “The DPO observed the woman’s worried countenance and felt that something is amiss. She l decided to trail her. However, the suspect noticed that she was under surveillance and diverted into Saint Dominic Catholic Church, Yaba.
“The DPO followed her up and warned the church security men to keep an eye on the woman and never allow her exit the church without the police ascertaining her identity and mission to the church.
“The security men obliged and brought the woman and the children before the DPO. During interrogation, the woman gave her name as Mary Vera Henry of No. 6, Akanni Street, Shomolu.
“It was discovered that she was not the biological mother of the children who are of different parents. The names of the children are: Mukaila Ya’u, 10 and Mariam Jubril , 2.
“She claimed that she lost her 20-year-old daughter whom diviners told her had been reduced in size and stature to a 2-year-old child and that the 2-year-old child looked exactly like her missing 20-year-old daughter.
” The woman was arrested and taken to the station for further interrogation. While at the station, the biological parents of the children surfaced and gave their names as:
Jubril Garba, father of the 2-year-old girl and Mukaila Amidu, father of the 10-year-old boy.
“The father of the 10-year-old told the police that he actually sent his son on an errand and that as he was going the 2-year-old girl accompanied him unknown to her parent.
“However, along the road the suspect lured the children away from their course to unknown destination. Investigation into the case is ongoing and effort is on to arrest the fleeing brother of the suspect believed to be a co-conspirator of the crime.”
A visibly angry Edgal, threatened to deal with parents who are in the habit of sending their underaged children to the market unaccompanied.
He said: “With the foregoing, I hereby reiterate my call to parents to keep an eye on their children.
“The Command will not hesitate to arrest negligent parents and prosecute them in accordance with relevant sections of the law, particularly, section 247 and 249 of Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.”
Meanwhile, the suspect who pretended to be mad denied the allegation insisting that she was being framed by one Shanta Orji, and one Mama Blessing who she claimed paid some people the sum of N50,000 to rope her in.
Rita Nzelu family has refunded the sum of N70 for the bride price initially paid to Simeon Okoro’s Family.
The Imo state based former in-laws of the actress are said to have confirmed receipt of the payment done in February, owing to irreconcilable differences between the actress and her estranged husband.
According to a reliable source, the marriage which lasted a total of fourteen years started having issues as a result of infidelity coupled with the fact that the actress insisted on not burying her career.
The actress decided to build her home first and then return to movies later, however, that plan lasted for the first ten years as she temporarily left the industry to attend to family first but since she returned some years back, it has not been easy for the couple as they failed to be reconciled.
The family has dissolved the marriage with the traditional rites, leaving the couple to move on with the divorce, legally.
Prior to her marriage years ago, the beautiful light skinned actress was endeared to many, owing toher beautiful interpretation of roles and her inspiring smile. With the recent development, fans are hoping that hey see more of the radiant actress despite her recent predicament.
Ifu Ennada hails Cee-C, calls her the true definition of a strong mighty woman.
She took to her Instagram page to write:
“My #WCW is @ceec_official for a number of reasons. We were not the closest of friends in the #Bbnaija house, but something about you stood out.
“I remember the times you wanted to tell me your story and how we could make a movie out of it. You said you had always gotten everything you wanted thanks to your awesome dad, but had some struggles that shaped you in certain ways. You never told me these things, but I could relate to you in some ways because of my past… I like how you’re out and doing big things. I like how you’re very warm and receptive.
“I like how you left all that happened in the house back there and you’re becoming the true definition of a Mighty Strong Woman. So many things could break a woman, but you stand strong and show no weakness.
“The other day you asked me if I still do my shutouts… Well, here’s one – Shout outs to your father, he’s your biggest cheerleader! He reminds me of my dad. Everyone should have a dad like yours. You’re a Beautiful CeeC and I wish you nothing but the best! Cheers, Ifu”.

Davido’s girlfriend, Chioma has had to deal with a lot of criticism following the singer’s public show of love for her and her N45million porsche birthday gift.
As the couple continue to trend, a troll who thinks Chioma is being around Davido for material reasons slipped in her comment section and wrote:
@louisepoutha wrote on Instagram :
“ Is funny how so many people including my self some what are happy for her but. This is nothing but the sad story of a little young woman that has no self worth or respect , he sleep around have babies on her and she still holding on not sure if is bravery or stupidity or vanity cos is rich and many others want him but she is the one holding running back no matter what he does. She would have a very painful life if not marriage don’t wish that life for no body is a high price to pay for love.”
In reply to this Chioma wrote ‘ My God won’t let me have a painful marriage my dear ! Have a wonderful life.”
Below is a screenshot of Chioma’s reply to the troll.
Davido and Chioma has got teeming fans setting relationship goals for themselves, but few would know that the relationship started years ago even before Davido became famous.
A close friend to Davido, Oyemyke, who is also a motivational speaker & hosted Chioma’s birthday dinner, took to his Instagram Page @oyemyyke to share his thoughts on the couple;
It was one of the toughest moves of my career. As soon as I landed, I knew I had a lot of research to do about this very low-key yet famous character Chioma. .
Since She’s Not Really The Attention Seeking Type, I Hadn’t Seen Her Since One Time We All Hung Together In London.
I Sat With A Few People Individually & They All Said Thesame Thing, HER PERSONALITY . Asides The Fact That She Is A Great Cook Who Fed The Entire Team When She Could, She Is Just Like Her Boyfriend & Seems To Always One Way Or The Other Touch Everyone In The Crew. ‘ Na We Marry Am, She Be First Lady ‘ One Of Them Insisted With A Serious Look.
Looking At Davidos Eyes, I Can Tell You He’s Excited About This So I Asked Him, Why?
He Insisted That They Met A Few Months Before Dami Duro & Since Then, She’s Handled The Relationship Like A True Woman. ‘ Thats Who I Will Spend The Rest Of My Life With ‘ He Said.
Guys Believe Me When I Tell You That David Adeleke And His Entire Team Are The Ones Celebrating The Woman Not Just The Superstar Himself.
When I Finally Got To Have A Quick Chat With Her, She Said She Loves Him Unconditionally Regardless Of What He Does. @davidoofficial @thechefchi
A Lady has shared a whatsapp conversation she had with her father as she tried to stylishly persuade him to send her money for her upkeep (Maybe).
Right from the beginning of the chat, the father indicated he had no money and when she became persistent, the father proceeded to use a verse from the Holy book to convince her otherwise.
The passage reads: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”
Davido’s girlfriend Chioma has been trending online for the past two days after he bought her a Porsche car as birthday gift.
However, a Nigerian lady who feels that Chioma’s attitude with her boyfriend is against moral ethics and not pleasant has lashed out on social media.
According to the lady identified as Emil Rock on Facebook, she opined that a good mother won’t let her daughter mingle with the likes of Davido and behave in such a way.
She added that Davido is a loud mouth and morally bankrupt and undeserving of an Igbo girl.
Her comment reads:
Where’s this stupid girl’s mother? So this your child has grown sooo big for you to be corrected & directed? What a family. So this mannerless, violent, loud mouthed, morally bankrupt boy is the best thing that can happen to your daughter? You are truly an igbo woman; ‘money covers it all’ is your sign post. May the good Lord bless your weakness & over indulgence.
Below are throwback photos of Davido’s girlfriend Chioma who is currently breaking the Nigerian internet all because of her birthday.
She is the reason why Davido’s baby mama, Sophie Momodu deleted her Instagram page cos she was trolled by fans who mocked her for not getting the kind of attention Chioma gets from Davido.
One of Sophia Momodu’s last social media posts shows that she believes the Porsche car bought by Davido hasn’t fully been paid for.
According to her, DJ Cuppy who flaunted something similar in the past has had it taken from her by Mercedes Benz when her relationship ended with whoever bought the car for her cos the payment wasn’t fully done.
It all started when Instagram star, Tunde Ednut took to his page to tell former Big Brother Naija housemate, Nina to stop using an android phone because of the quality of a video she’d shared.
Actress, Tonto Dikeh then lambasted him saying rather than shaming her, he should gift her an iPhone – it was a social media brawl that somewhat had male cross-dresser, Bobrisky involved in it…
Well, at the conclusion of their whole saga, Tonto Dikeh promised Nina an iPhone X and she’s actually fulfilled her promise to her as she’s sent it to her via Bobrisky.
The effeminate shared a video of the phone on his page, writing,
Morning guys, @tontolet Just deliver Nina iPhone x to me to give her. God bless you sister ?. I still remember u are too busy to watch big brother, but wen I called u to tell u about Nina…. you said Bobrisky I’m behind anybody You are supporting. After big brother u asked me wat should we give Nina. We both concluded an iPhone x will be good for her cos some idiot are already insulting her about her phone. Big thanks to u for dis phone, God will continue to multiply where u took out dis money to get Nina dis phone. I don’t need to say I love u again cos u know already. @tontolet ???????
Although, a fan feels Nina is already ‘made’ so the gesture wasn’t all that necessary – she feels rather than Tonto gifting Nina, she should extend the gesture to someone who needs it more.
Silver Amaka commented,
Why not help those that are so much in need than giving someone that had made it,,,,,you are really a great woman God bless you
Yeah well, let’s wait for Nina to acknowledge receipt of her new device eh?
Dear Nigerian girl, it is not wrong to wish for a husband or anything but I have a problem.
I see the way young girls who have managed to graduate exude incompleteness even after getting a good job or owning a business .
They may have a good relationship but that doesn’t seem enough for them. They seem to be living by the timeline of the society.
They grow pushy.
Tell the guy that their time is passing and Bla Bla bla.
What time? Do you have expiry date? You see them sound as though they are yoghurts with best before dates.
Let me say something: if you feel that what will make you complete in life is a human being, please change that mindset.
Do not attach your completeness to a man or woman.
Don’t!
Especially when you confer on a man the title of “My missing rib who will complete me”
Listen, there is nothing like missing rib. And I see people with that mindset as people who deserve everything except being human. Animals don’t even know what is missing rib. Let me reiterate.
There is no such thing as a missing rib!
Nothing!
If my mother was born in America, my father wouldn’t have been her “missing rib” because he has been in Nigeria.
Who you end up with is often determined by geography, history and religion.
Girls!
Learn.
Complete yourself by yourself before getting married because you may end up with a man who haven’t built anything in himself talk more of completing someone. Especially when you’re desperate to pepper your class mates.
When all you want is to break the internet with your pre-wedding pictures.
When all you crave is to have a ring on your ring finger so you can wave at strangers and friends.
A wave of fulfilment.
Never be desperate for a man or a woman
When you start going to crusades and vigils because you want a husband, 80 percent of the time you make a mistake.
A huge one.
Because desperation makes you see anything as an answered prayer.
After months of marriage you start sending Joro nonsense messages because of your impatience. You bring your unfortunate reality to the public and let people have an opinion about you and your marriage.
Shrugs!
Y’all be careful.

In a new interview, BBNaija 2018 3rd runner up, Alex says she is ready to give a thought to dating her fellow housemate, Tobi.
Tobi has always signified interest in dating Alex but up until this interview, she has refused to comment on whether she might consider it or not.
“Relationship-wise, I think I will give it a thought right now. I really don’t see any reason why I shouldn’t because Tobi is like the best man anybody should hope for in this life” she said in the new interview.
Recently She took to Instagram to thank Tobi, a graduate of the University of Lagos for bringing so much joy to her life.
“Even for life, I won’t trade this friendship. @Tobibakre trouble maker, thanks for always giving me a reason to smile.#Tobination #wedyehair #thatuniqueone TOBO G is my G. Deal with it.”
Amidst all the hoopla surrounding the luxury SUV vehicle popular singer, David Adeleke aka Davido bought for his girlfriend Chioma, different figures have been bandied about concerning the value of the Porsche.
Some news sources put the value of the car at N45 million, this is nowhere near the case, as the car is clearly a tokunbo vehicle.
Even brand new Cayennes can be obtained for less than N45 million.
According to research conducted by auto aficionado’s, the truck is a 2011 model which retails from about ($25,000) N10 million, exclusive of customs and other charges.
The total value of the vehicle is usually less than N20 million. However the trim Davido purchased seems to be full options probably bringing the total value of the car to about N20 million.
This is still a large sum of money but nowhere near the N45 million that would be spent to obtain a newer model of the vehicle.
Even the 2018 model starts retailing from about $65000 (N24 million) and certainly to get it to Nigeria will still be less than N40 million, depending on how ambitious the car dealer is.
Still that doesnt take away from the fact that Davido has certainly splurged on the love of his life. Its just not as big a spluge as certain media elements have hyped it to be.

Officials of the Osun State Internal Revenue Service (OIRS) has shut down the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, over its failure to remit over N1.844,770,939.45 to the agency.
Officials of the Revenue Task Force led by one Oladipo Babatunde, arrived the campus at about 7am today, sealed the Senate Chamber and the administrative building of the institution before proceeding to seal the main gate, leaving the pedestrian gate unlocked.
Mr. Oladipo in a chat with newsmen, alleged the institution owed the state government about N1.8 billion and has failed to meet up the 7-day deadline given to the school management to clear the debt.
Reacting to the development, the Public Relations Officer of the University, Abiodun Olanrewaju, said the tax outstanding was accumulated by past administrations of the school. He however added that the school management is working to resolve the issue and get the institution re-opened.
“I must add this that the present university administration since 2017 has been paying consistently but the backlog of debt inherited from the past administration is what is causing this little problem. Everything will be resolved by the grace of God. The school management is assuring the public that it will soon be resolved,” he said
