“Biafra is a fraud, it was in the mortuary, but now in cemetery” – Igbo monarch

Igbo monarch

Igbo monarch

A traditional ruler from Mbaise in Imo State, Eze Nwabueze Soronnadi Ezewiro, has dissociated himself from the struggle for Biafra, an agitation he described as fraud.

The Igbo Monarch who spoke in Calabar yesterday, further stated that the truth is the only institutional body that represents Igbo people all over the world is Ohaneze Ndigbo, not Biafra.

“I am His Imperial Majesty Eze Nwabueze Soronnadi Ezewiro from Mbaise in Imo State as well as the Lord Mayor of the Igbo Nation and in Diaspora, Eze Agaba-Idu 1 of Igbo kingdom.

Biafra is a fraud. Whichever way they take it but the truth has to be said anyway, the only institutional body that represents Igbo people all over the world is Ohaneze Ndigbo, not Biafra.

Let me ask you one thing, when Odumegwu Ojukwu died, he was a General, he was given a state burial during the time of Jonathan, you saw in Nnewi that day that we, the Ohaneze Ndigbo were making our own preparation but the Presidency was doing the burial.

His body was carried by Nigerian soldiers, so where are the Biafran soldiers to carry the body? “When they’re talking about Biafra, is Biafra only Imo, Abia, Anambra Enugu and Ebonyi states? No.

It should be South-South, South-East all incorporated because these are the old eastern region excluding Edo. Have you seen anybody from those South-South states supporting Biafra?

We will put this thing on the table, get the Presidency, put our heads together and discuss this thing. But you can’t get it by force as if you are inciting to segregate from Nigeria federation.

The Biafran thing as much as I am concerned is dead gone. It was in the mortuary, it has gone to the cemetery. Its dead, there’s nothing and there would not be anything like Biafra” he said.

#BBNaija: CeeC is a virgin – Khloe confirms

Khloe

Khloe confirms Cee-C is a virgin

Big Brother Naija Housemate, Khloe who got disqualified form the show, and later returned has explained to fellow housemates that she believes CeeC is indeed a virgin.

Khloe went further to explain that ‘Cee-c has not felt the kind of emotion we feel’. Khloe also revealed that she has a younger sister who is a virgin at 23.

Watch the video conversation between the housemates;

 

Meanwhile, The National Film and Video Censors Board has said Nigeria has what it takes to host Big Brother Naija in the country.

Executive Director of the Censors Board, Adedayo Thomas, made this known in an interview with Punch.

Thomas complained that the show makes “a lot of money” from Nigerians yet complained of lack of infrastructure in the country.

He said: “If it is Big Brother Africa, they can host that anywhere; but the one for Nigeria should be hosted in Nigeria.

“Nigeria has what it takes to host the show; after all, there are many multinational/telecommunication companies hitherto operating hitch-free in the country.

“If the organisers are talking about lack of available infrastructure as an excuse, then how is MTN operating successfully 24/7 in this same country?

“If MTN, a similar South African company, has been surviving in this country, then I don’t think anybody has an excuse for not hosting BBNaija in Nigeria.

“They are making a lot of money from Nigerians here, so, we want them to host it here.”

He further spoke on the airing of adult content on the show.

He added: “A couple of the scenes are adult content and that is where parental guidance comes in.

“Parents can always block the watching of some scenes within a particular period or in totality.

“It is not government’s responsibility to assume the parental roles of moral upbringing of children in their homes.”

Rapper CDQ didn’t rape me – #BBNaija Ifu Ennada

Ifu Ennada had a scuffle with Rapper CDQ while in the house.

Recall she revealed while having a conversation with other housemates that Rapper CDQ Used and dumped her, after he used her to attain fame.

CDQ of course responded to her claims, and called her unprintable names, one of which he claimed she was just “a one night stand”.

Later, after she got evicted from the house, Ifu revealed that she was raped by a certain “Nigerian entertainer”.

Many folks on social media believed she was referring to CDQ, due to the previous controversy between them.

But the Nollywood actress has come out to vindicate the rapper and also mentioned that the real culprit will be exposed soon.

When Sunday Scoop asked her to identify the rapist, Ifu Ennada refused but stated that it was not CDQ.

“I was the one who was raped and I didn’t talk about it until recently. When I am ready to reveal the rapist’s identity, I will do so. For now, it is no one’s business. I don’t know what gave people the impression that it was CDQ. I didn’t mention CDQ’s name. I don’t understand people,” she added.

On claims that she shared her rape story to gain sympathy or popularity, she said:

“Do I look like one who needs the sympathy of people? Only foolish people would think I put out my story for publicity. Right from the first day I came back to Nigeria, I said I wanted to release a short film, Broken Virgin. Then, Big Brother was yet to announce that two people would return to the reality show. I had already started doing graphics; posters for my short film. People who have been following me know the truth; people who don’t know me can say rubbish. Why should anyone use her rape story as a joke or play?”

She however opened up that she would have loved to go back to the Big Brother Naija house when the door was opened for evicted housemates to come back

“It has not been very smooth since leaving BBNaija, but it has been good. I miss the house; sometimes I miss the diary session with Big Brother and I miss the Saturday night parties.

I wished I was one of the two persons who returned to the house. I even campaigned for people to vote for me and my people tried for me, but I didn’t make it. I had the third highest vote. Though I am aware that people felt the voting process was tampered with, I don’t believe that. I feel they showed us how the people truly voted.” She said

Photos of her new ride below:

The actress walked out of a marriage fans thought she was enjoying despite carrying the man’s baby – weeks ago, she revealed that she’d moved on from what ought not to set her back.

In an interview with LANRE ODUKOYA, she speaks motherhood, passion and legacy. Excerpts…

What was life like while growing up?

While growing up, I cherished friendship and I was part of every social activity in school. I was not the quiet type. Till now, I love life and I love expressing myself.

How about your education, where did you school?

After my primary and secondary education, I went to Caritas University in Enugu where I studied business administration. I have always been a business person as well. I love money and I like to do things that bring in money. At a very young age, I bought a car for myself. I started acting when I became a beauty queen. But ordinarily, I would have loved to be a lawyer but it didn’t happen.

You’re a single parent at the moment, how do you find motherhood?

Being a mother is the best gift a woman could ever get from God. It makes you discover yourself and it makes you think of another person. Since you really love your baby, you would want to protect him or her. Last year was beautiful for me because I had my baby girl. It was like a new beginning in my life; I became a mum and everything changed. I had to stop being the Mimi who loved travelling in order to take care of my baby. When my baby turned out to be a girl, I never worried. I just wished for a beautiful child. My daughter is like a little version of me.

What are you doing to keep fit and remain radiant?

Right now, I am struggling to trim down. I put on weight when I had my baby because I had to breastfeed her for a long time, but I was slim when I was pregnant. I work out every morning and I am dieting. Though I knew I would get fat and my tummy would get big, the joy of being a mother supersedes all that. You can always fix your body and it is worth sacrificing your body to have a child.

You’ve obviously had a break from the movie set, how do you plan to return?
I was on set in December. The producer told me he knew I had a baby but he didn’t mind if I could make myself available. I didn’t think I would able to do it, but I went there with my baby and we did it.

What are the things that fascinate you about life?

I love life, I love to be everywhere. I don’t like being in the office from morning till night. I don’t like to read too much, but it doesn’t mean I am not intelligent. I have always been into modelling or pageant. After winning Miss Africa Beauty Pageant in 2009, I met a director who introduced me to Nollywood and I found acting interesting. I didn’t go through the stress of looking for roles. None of my family members is in Nollywood, but I was told my grandmother was involved in drama. She was part of the drama group in the church and village square. I also have a cousin who sings. My father is not a creative person; he is a doctor while my mother is businesswoman.

Did you get express approval from your parents to become an actor?

When I wanted to venture into acting, I didn’t have much trouble convincing my father because I am the only daughter and his favourite. My father also knew that anything I wanted, I would get it. It was not the case of me forfeiting my education for acting; he wouldn’t have supported that. He became proud of me when people starting telling him that they saw me on screen acting.

Only 15 of the 113 Chibok schoolgirls alive – Journalist Salkida

Ahmad Salkida

Ahmad Salkida, the Nigerian journalist, formerly based in Dubai, said today that only 15 out of the remaining 113 Chibok schoolgirls, believed to be with their Boko Haram abductors are alive. He made the claim in series of tweets today, in which he provided a backgrounder to the abduction, exactly four years ago.

Salkida said the surviving 15 have been married off, indoctrinated and may no longer be interested in returning home. He advises government in negotiating for the release of the 15 girls to demand ‘proof of life’.

His tweets dealt with the botched attempts during the Jonathan era when the Boko Haram terrorists were willing to release the girls on swap deals and later developments.

Ahmad Salkida: says most of the 113 Chibok schoolgirls believed to be with Boko Haram have died.

Here is his story as picked from his Twitter handle @contactsalkida:

Four years ago, a middle ranking Boko Haram commander led dozens of fighters in search of food and other supplies in the remote town of Chibok. Like an afterthought, they saw a chance to abduct school girls in Girls Secondary School Chibok. The girls at the time were preparing for their exams.
The dozens of Boko Haram fighters faced no opposition during the abduction, as they struggled to convey their captives to the forest of Alagarno, the insurgent’s first war capital, which they named Timbuktu. It was in Timbuktu that they organised most of the horror we experience today.

Some of the girls were lucky to have escaped on their way to Timbuktu that night, because there were fewer fighters to hold more than 200 girls. At the beginning, the group didn’t know what to do with the girls, at least, not in the first one month of their captivity.

However, what many people did not know was that two weeks into the abduction, the Jonathan administration was already in touch with me for the peaceful release of the girls. By the way, I was in self-exile after pressure from the same Government.

I took an excuse where I was doing a menial job in the UAE (but still reporting the insurgency), to see the president, which was facilitated by Aliyu Gebi and Labaran Maku. By the 3rd of May, I was already on my way from Abuja to Madagali, Marwa and finally to a Boko Haram camp.

I got a proof of life for the president and another for the media in case I didn’t get back. The demands of Boko Haram then were simple. They wanted detained members taken to Damaturu and they will move the girls to Buni-Yardi for swap somewhere in between. There was no word on ransom

I was provided with full military escorts from Abuja to Damaturu. Government was supposed to make sure that 70 detainees were ready on my arrival in Damaturu to meet 30 there. The rest of the negotiating team was in Abuja making sure the prisoners were on a plane before my arrival.

On arrival in Damaturu, the military commander there was not briefed about my work. He was merely told to expect a VIP. At that time, the girls have been moved by Boko Haram, but there were no prisoners for exchange and I got a call from the former Chief of Defence Staff to abort the operation.

The president later said before me that he did not call off the swap. There was a credible window, but zero Will to rescue the girls. Boko were angry. I returned to the UAE to continue my hustle, but received invitations not only by the former administration, but the current government

Four out of five processes that I was involved in, we came close to a swap deal, but Government in most instances did not provide the platform I presented with the required expertise. And whenever Government dragged its feet, Shekau will shift the goal post.

I continued my reporting on the crisis, often critical of government and Boko Haram, with both sides raising concerns. For me, I am a reporter before anything else, many officials consider me as somebody who was too independent minded for a process that needs to be shrouded in secrecy.

Government began to look for alternatives to conclude what I’ve started and my former couriers stepped in as the primary ‘negotiators.’ It was a break for me because it is no longer negotiations, but mere transaction. Another reason was my insistence that the process must be domesticated

I was a prickle in the flesh of our leaders with my counter claims of official narratives. A day after I exclusively released a video of the girls, something I’v done in the past, I was declared wanted by same military that provided me with escorts, military aircraft for assignments

I was amazed to learn later that the terms that saw the release of some of the girls was unfavourable than what I presented, but as my friend will say, even if we come up with a cure for cancer, the war economy and elites would rather die than accept a cure from a talaka.

Today, my painstaking investigations on the #Chibokschoolgirls revealed that just a handful of the 113 #ChibokGirls are alive. Many of the girls have died as a result of cross fires and bombardments of the security forces that no doubt were intent on rescuing them.

I regret to state here that only 15 out of the 113 #Chibokgirls are alive today, based on my investigations in the last three months and we have already seen some of them in a video, which I exclusively obtained and was published on SR website.

What is the status of the remaining 15 girls as far as negotiations are concerned? My investigations also revealed that, they are no longer under the control of #AbubakarShekau. According to sources, they are now ‘married’ and only their ‘husbands’ can decide their fates.

If they are divorced or the men are killed that is when Shekau’s decision takes precedence, and in this instance, since the girls have been indoctrinated, their leader has no right to negotiate for their release, no matter the ransom offered, reliable multiple sources said.

It will be unbearable to share the names of the 15 that are alive here, this is the responsibility of Government. When I was involved, I regularly provided proof of life. Government must demand that to prove me wrong or stop negotiating for many of the girls that don’t exists.

The secrecy around the condition of the #ChibokGirls and most recent #DapchiGirls debacle by those involved is the reason people like me are out of the picture. The fact remains that under the present circumstances there is NO room for peace settlement.

The way out for these girls, is a military rescue or negotiate wt individual captors to release their ‘wives’ in return for some kind of deal, but this will mean death to these fighters bcz the terror group now sees the girls as part of their own and must be protected.

How comes there is little or no information about the girls and both the parents and campaigners are in the dark? Because, Govt resist independent reporting of the crisis, most of the reports are choreographed & Nigerians are also not ready to hear the truth or stand by it.

Reporting the #LakeChadCrisis is not just a job for me, Borno is my home, this crisis has affected me too. I’v invested 13yrs of my 18yrs journalism career to follow this story in a way no reporter or researcher has done, hence my knowledge of this crisis can’t be dismissed.

I’v risked my life and that of my family in the past and even now, not only to tell the story, but to play the role of a mediator and fact finder. But as soon as the FG found alternatives, my sacrifices got an official ridicule and I am being hounded.

I hold no other intention of doing this than the need to stir a debate to demand more insights and bring closure to the parents. The nation must not fail you from rescuing your daughters and also fail to tell you the truth.

My heartfelt condolences to the parents of the near 100 that have perished or have not returned home and apparently not with their captors. But you must always remember that your daughters were stronger than the rest of us that couldn’t do more to avert this catastrophe.”

“I can’t sing Nigeria’s national anthem” – Alex Iwobi

Alex Iwobi has humbly admitted that he has difficulties in singing the Nigerian national anthem which he is yet to fully learn.

English club, Arsenal FC star and Nigerian super eagles player, Alex Iwobi has admitted that he can’t recite the lines of the Nigeria national anthem correctly.

Iwobi, who put the ball at the back of the net – an effect that saw the Super Eagles to the Russia World Cup against Zambia – made the revelation while being quizzed by Arsenal legend, Thierry Henry and Philadelphia Eagles star, Jay Ajayi.

Iwobi stated he did not know the words to the Nigerian national anthem too well, suggesting that he mouths along to the anthem when the camera was focused on him before the start of international matches.

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.”

On how nervous he was when he met Thierry Henry for the first time, Iwobi answered: “I met him when I was a kid for the first time, so was young, I was excited. I was in Arsenal academy. I was very young.’’

Asked if he watched the Super Bowl, Iwobi said: “Honestly no, honestly no. Sleep went to me.

“Most ladies still find me sexy despite being married” – D’Banj says

Dbanj says despite him being married and growing grey hairs, most ladies still consider him as a sexy one.

The singer disclosed this in an interview with Saturday Beats and mentioned that he decided not to get rid of his grey hair because ladies have told him that they love it, adding that it is a sign that he has money.

D’banj said:

“I love the fact that I am having grey beard. In Africa, it is a sign of wisdom. I thought one had to be 50 years and above before getting it but recently, I learnt that it comes out when you are wise and have money.

So, it is obvious to the world that I have money and wisdom.

“I know I am already growing grey beard and I leave it alone because the ladies tell me that it is sexy.

I cannot speak for any other person but I still have my sex appeal. We were just on the red carpet together before coming to this VIP section and you noticed what happened. The ladies still flock around me despite being married.

You can count how many guys greeted me compared to a large number of ladies that came to me for pictures and just to talk to me.

I think it is the grace of God and the brand cannot change. It is not as if I am going to let go of this part of me. Yes, being married has changed a little thing about me but business remains business”.

 

President Buhari explains why Chibok girls remain in captivity

President Buhari explains

President Buhari explains why Chibok Girls have not been released

President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday said the remaining girls abducted by terrorists from Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, four years ago were still in captivity because of some setbacks in the negotiation between the Federal Government and the Boko Haram sect.

He attributed the setbacks to what he described as internal disagreement among the abductors.

Buhari said this in a statement made available to journalists by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu.

The President said ;

“We are concerned and aware that it is taking longer to bring the rest of our daughters back home, but be assured that this administration is doing its very best to free the girls from their captors.

“Unfortunately, the negotiations between the government and Boko Haram suffered some unexpected setbacks, owing mainly to a lack of agreement among their abductors, whose internal differences have led to a divergence of voices regarding the outcome of the talks.

“We know that this is not the news parents want to hear after four whole years of waiting, but we want to be as honest as possible with you.

“However, this government is not relenting. We will continue to persist, and the parents should please not give up. Don’t give up hope of seeing our daughters back home again. Don’t lose faith in this government’s ability to fulfil our promise of reuniting you with your daughters.

“Don’t imagine for a moment that we have forgotten about our daughters or that we consider their freedom a lost cause.”

Buhari gave the assurance Nigerians that as long as he remained the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, the Chibok girls would never be forgotten and everything would be done to reunite them with their families. He also assured the parents of the schoolgirls that “their daughters will never be forgotten or abandoned to their fate, despite four long years since they were taken away by terrorists.’’

Actress Ireti Osayemi’s marriage ends as she dumps husband, Bakky Adeoye

Ireti Osayemi

Ireti Osayemi Marriage ends

Nollywood actress, Ireti Osayemi’s decade old marriage to former Super Story production manager and later associate producer, Bakare Adeoye, which produced two kids, has reportedly crashed.

Though this wasn’t Bakare’s first marriage (he is said to have been previously married with children to show for it) his legal marriage to Ireti was almost heaven-on-earth.

But then, the marriage has crashed!

Friends and family members are reportedly trying to bring them together but the actress seems gone for good.

Already, Ireti, for many months, has moved out of the marriage and currently enjoys the favour of an Ilaro, Ogun State-based businessman who spoils her silly with luxuries and gifts.

The businessman, who is also a hotelier and big socialite is doing all he could to keep her. Though he is married, Ireti is the apple of his eye.

What could have happened to Ireti’s marriage to Bakare?
First, many are insinuating that Bakky, as he is fondly called, is not as rich as when he courted and married her.

“She is a pretty woman and it takes a rich man to keep ladies of her ilks. She has been exposed to wealthy men by virtue of her profession and the lowly life Bakky was thrusting at her didn’t make her happy. She opted out,” disclosed one of her friends to Kemiashefonlovehaven.

Another disagreed.

“Bakky is OK financially. I think the stress of marrying a man with other women and kids to cater for became a burden for Ireti and she separated. They are still good friends because of their kids but she seems not ready to go ahead with the marriage,” another source told KALH.

Bakky Adeoye reportedly had more than one wife before getting married to Ireti in 2009. Ireti, being a smart and calculating lady seemed to be the only woman to drag him to the registry, hence making her his only legal wife.

Then, when the wedding took place, the 36-year-old pretty actress was tagged a husband-snatcher.

Speaking glowingly of her husband in an interview before the separation:

“Truly, we were friends from the onset. We were more of friends than a couple. When I’m talking to some people, I sometimes tell them that my husband said this or that and they feel so strange wondering how my husband can say this to me? I tell him a lot of things and he does likewise. That’s why when you talk about me outside and you feel it will get to him, it doesn’t, because he knows it already. I don’t hide anything from him and I guess he has hidden nothing from me. I know that.”

Eniola Badmus calls out Toyin Abraham

Eniola Badmus has called out her colleague Toyin abraham for stylishly stealing her movie title Ghetto Bred!

The actress took to her Instagram page earlier today to rant about her effort, hard work and creativity being stolen and taken for granted.

Although the actress made no mention of any particular film producer, she emphasized that there can only be one Ghetto Bred produced by Eniola Badmus.

A closer look at the matter has reminded us that actress Toyin Abraham is set to release one of her movies (The Ghost and The Tour) into the cinema,the sensitization has started and in the trailer, a part referred to Toyin as ‘Pure Ghetto Bred”

Apparently, this is the bone of contention for Eniola who thinks the title was stolen sugarcoated.
Toyin Abraham’s fans are however not taking this allegation and ‘insult’ lightly…they have attacked Eniola in their large numbers!

Asiwaju Gentry

Asiwaju Gentry the estranged husband of Nollywood Actress, Mercy Aigbe, has dented her image in his congratulatory mesagge to Actor, Gabriel Afolayan who got married about a week ago in Ibadan.

Lanre Gentry has managed to leave tongues wagging with the content of his message.

 

The Hotelier who has been left embittered since the actress left him after battering incidence many months ago was cryptic with his message and his followers were quick to recognize he was shading his wife again.

In his post Lanre Gentry had written “My brother, congratulations on your wedding. I pray for your marriage and I know God has made your wife the best not the prostitute that will pretend as one! Once again, congratulations!”

While this could have been a pure innocent post, Nigerians think it is a shade for Mercy whom the man has called a philandering prostitute on many occasions. Many also believe it is a clear indication that Gentry is not over the mother of his son.

Nollywood Actor, Segun Ogungbe celebrates first wife, second wife joins

Segun Ogungbe celebrates

Segun Ogungbe celebrates

Segun Ogungbe celebrated his first wife Atinuke’s birthday yesterday.

His second wife, Omowunmi Ajiboye who was once Atinuke’s best friend before marrying Segun also joined in the celebration to prove haters wrong.

 

Recall that last month, Segun Ogungbe clocked plus one and these two women celebrated him in a sweet way.

Segun has been married to his first wife, Atinuke for many years and the couple have kids together.

Atinuke wasn’t an actress but a good friend of Omowunmi, who was training as an actress with Segun Ogungbe Films Academy.

In 2015, news broke from Abeokuta that Segun Ogungbe had impregnated one of his ‘trainees’ and set to marry her.

Then a blog, Yoruba moviegist.com broke the news that the sexy actress, Wunmi was delivered of a bouncing baby boy for the actor in one of the private hospitals in Abeokuta.

Afterward, a fan of Segun took to the website to comment.

The fan wrote:

Omowunmi Ajiboye, You are such a bad friend to have a baby for your best friend, Atinuke Ogungbe’s husband, you guys are turning this world to another world, anyway it’s not a big deal to you but you are a disgrace to all Yoruba girls and to the film industry.

“Both of you need to be expelled from the film industry. Segun Sgungbe is a silly idiot to have impregnated his wife (Atinuke Ogungbe’s) best friend Omowunmi, both of you are a disgrace to the film industry also to the whole nation.

“Segun Ogungbe is a silly idiot to have impregnated Omowunmi who squatted with Atinuke for several months in Abeokuta before.

“Mr Ibi Giga you are such a heartless and a shameless man, your movies are one of the best of mankind but you don’t learn from what you are teaching the public, if you, Mr Segun Ogungbe Olusola Bobo I show think your fans are silly like yourself, you are getting it twisted, you are a disgrace to the film industry”

“But it seems the war is over and the two friends are back again. Infact, Atinuke acted as a nurse in one of Omowunmi’s movies in 2017.”

NYSC: Mixed race Nigerian lady says “Nigeria has a high number of graduates who lack basic common sense”

Mixed race Nigerian lady

Claudia Diers Ayodele was among the thousands of Corps members who finalized the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme on Thursday.

The mixed race lady who couldn’t wait to remove her ‘horrible government uniform‘ after the Passing out Parade (POP) took to Instagram to share her experience during the programme.

She wrote:

So I passed out today.
But no, you won’t see me wearing that horrible government uniform and posing with my certificate. I literally changed less than 10 minutes after getting my certificate ?

A brief recap?

Honestly the last 11 months were not a joke.
I don’t know how many times I wanted to literally quit NYSC but I kept reminding myself why I actually started

Why? Because you just never know when Nigerians want to make your life miserable in the future. On the positive note, I learnt a lot about the way of life in this country

Got to experience going to a state without an airport in its near vicinity. Got to experience what it’s like to be in the deepest jungle bush where even google maps imaging cannot capture the road.

Got to experience how deeply ingrained corruption and indiscipline is in Nigerians from young to old. Got to experience how simple queueing, is not possible… Over and over again

Respect rarely exists. Humility rarely exists. Shame equally rarely exists. Self-Interest exists. Before anyone gets hurt by this finding, honestly there’s a big difference between poor and middle class not to talk of upper class.

They say Nigeria has a high number of graduates, I say Nigeria has a high number of graduates who were not taught quality education and lack basic common sense.

They say the problem with Nigeria is it’s old leaders, I say Nigeria faces an even bigger problem when the young already show traits of the older generation clinging on to power.

For the first time I got to fully interact with Nigerians from all walks of life and it has been a truly humbling experience. I am grateful to those who pushed me to do NYSC because now I know up until a year ago, I lived in a bubble when it came to ‘knowing’ my country.

Nicki Minaj addresses beef with Cardi B

In a recent interview with Zane Lowe on Beats 1, Nicki congratulated Cardi B on her success and also revealed that Cardi hurt her feelings really bad after she (Cardi) did an interview immediately Motorsports came out.

In the said interview, Cardi B accused Nicki Minaj of changing her verse in the song, Motorsports, which featured herself and Nicki Minaj.

“The only thing with Cardi that really, really, really hurt my feelings was the first interview she did after ‘MotorSport’ came out,” Nicki said, saying she felt “ambushed” and made to look like the bad guy when there was no beef to begin with. “Up until this recent interview she did, I had never seen her show me genuine love in an interview.”

“I remember when I first came in the game, I would only be singing their praises and saying thank you,” Nicki added. “The first interview she did, it just hurt me because she looked so aggravated and angry. She just kept saying she didn’t hear it… I was like, what?”
