A model, Debbie – a dark skinned, melanin poppin beauty – has taken to her Instagram page to share how Nigerian singer, Tekno rejected her for a video shoot because of the complexion of her skin.
Debbie revealed that she was supposed to be the main vixen for the music video but when Tekno arrived on set, he asked that she should not be used and opted out for a light skinned model.
To not make her feel useless, she was given another option to be in the music video but she rejected it… She wrote:
I had the worst experience today as a darkskin model, I woke up at 4am, got to Oregun on the mainland at 8am, and waited for the director @paul_gambit whom i respect a lot. Anyways to cut the story short, after all my stress, Tekno arrived on set, it was time to shoot with him. Tekno refused to use me as the main model for his #yourlovethevideo shoot cause i’m dark skin. Later he settled for me doing the full shots so a light skin model can do the closeup shots with him. But i walked out on him and his set. Dark skin women are beautiful and precious, we don’t settle for less and we don’t get to be an option, we are the option. Black girls please love your skin and never feel bad about rejection, If a Tekno rejects you, Look up to a Wizkid, Wizkid inspires me everyday to love my skin with his videos and how much he appreciates black women..
As at the time of this post, the singer is yet to react to the allegations made by the model – this comes after the singer was blasted for letting his fans down for not performing well at a show recently.
Tekno, whose time to hit the stage came after Styl-Plus, Flavour N’abania had wowed the crowd numbering about 1,000, at Transcorp Hilton in Abuja where tickets sold for N1 million Naira for gold table, N2 Million for Platinum table and 7,000 Naira, let them down, by murmuring into the mic and abruptly ending songs he performed at the event.
Mr Emmanuel Kevin who had come from Keffi in Nasarawa state to attend the show expressed disappointment at Tekno, telling the news agency that “It was disappointing to see. I could hear him every time he instructed his DJ to change a song half way through performing it. He seemed to be rushing somewhere”.
Another fan who preferred to be called Freda also expressed her disappointment in Tekno. “It was as if he did not want to be in Abuja”, she said.
Nollywood actress, Toyin Abraham, couldn’t hold back her tears at her father’s service of songs which took place in Ibadan, Oyo state yesterday March 1st.
The actress lost her dad in October last year following a brief illness. She was inconsolable as she joined her siblings to bury their father.
Our hearts are with you Toyin and may the soul of your father rest in peace.
Photos from the funeral below:
Toyin Abraham who shared a little of her past sometime ago, revealed she abused hard drugs like marijuana and codeine – she made the disclosure at the 2017 edition of Success Story Africa, held at the TLC Auditorium, Lagos.
She’d said,
“You need to stop bad habits. I was involved in a lot of vices and it became worse last year,” she said at the event.
“I did drugs and I am not ashamed to say it because it’s now a thing of the past. They say codeine makes you high; I took a lot. I smoked a lot and I didn’t even know I looked horrible, because I was so skinny.
“If you came to my house last year, you would meet a lot of people and you wont want to leave because we smoked, gossiped about people and what have you.”
President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari has joined all members of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Christains in Nigeria and many other parts of the world, to celebrate The General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, as he turns 76 today.
President Buhari, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Chief Femi Adesina yesterday also extended warm felicitations to the family and friends of the highly revered preacher and teacher of the word of God under whose leadership, since 1981, the church has grown to become one of the largest congregations in the world, with parishes in almost all countries.
The President affirmed that the exemplary leadership provided by the servant of God has resulted in an exponential growth of the church, which directly translates into development of infrastructure, building of educational and health institutions, as well as vocational centres that have created a means of livelihood for many Nigerians.
He commended Pastor Adeboye’s warmth and friendliness, recalling his visits to the State House, and most significantly, the historic visit in London when he was on medical vacation.
President Buhari said Pastor Adeboye has planted seeds of the gospel that posterity will always remember, especially his divinely inspired dream of ensuring that there will be a church within every walking distance in the country.
The President extolled Pastor Adeboye for his humility, focus, discipline and sacrificial spirit of giving up his personal comfort, career and dreams, to take up the higher call of leading the Lord’s flock.
He prayed that the almighty God will grant the church leader longer life, good health and more strength to propagate the word of God.

Recall that the Adesua who became a year older a couple of days back made a wish over the missing Yobe schoolgirls.
The Wedding Party actress took to her Instagram party, to ask her fans and all Nigerians to pray for some students of the Government Girls Science Technical College (GGSTC) who were recently abducted by Boko Haram terrorists.
The girls went missing on Monday after members of the outlawed group invaded their school in Dapchi, the headquarters of Bursari Local Government Area of Yobe State in North-east Nigeria.
While efforts are still ongoing to rescue them, the actress has pleaded with Nigerians to pray for their safe return.
She wrote: “I am completely overwhelmed. Completely! Thank you to everyone that’s showing me, love, today. As you celebrate me, please take a moment to say a little prayer for the girls that were abducted.
“Let’s pray for their safe return to their families who love them”.
Adesua who clocks 30 today, rose to the limelight in 2014 after her role in ‘Knocking on Heaven’s Door’.
She has since won the hearts of many with her roles in several other movies including hit movie, The Wedding Party and more recently, her marriage to R&B musician, Banky W.

Did you watch day 32 of the Big Brother Naija 3 reality show?
If you missed it, we’ve got the highlights for you!
The Lifu Cue
When Ifu Ennada and Leo (Lifu) were paired up during Biggie’s last reshuffling, a new chemistry emerged, she was just getting to grips with the departure of her two best friends in the House – Princess and Bitto – and as soon as she got over the hard time, quickly found her feet in the Lifu universe.
Both are thinkers at the core, and have a healthy dose of respect for their pair, affinities that have helped them take to each other immediately. Leo and Ifu Ennada have proven to be exceptional strategists, despite not spending as much time as they would have liked together.
It would be an easy stretch to believe that Ifu Ennada has kept herself distant from Leo, but the girl was left with no other option for as adorable as Alex is, she has acted like a thorn in their pairing. There has been no tension between the two girls, it’s just that Alex – who is actually paired with Tobi – is forever glued to Leo which has left Ifu Ennada with no other choice than giving them space.
On his side, Leo hasn’t had an easy ride either: his friendship with Alex seemed to have evolved into much more than he perhaps anticipated, which to his liking is taking most of his attention. Yet Leo is to be commended for demonstrating an incredible restraint whenever Alex is all over him.
Because they understand each other without needing much talk, Lifu are most often engaged in advising other Housemates, and they are pretty good at it. Just like Rico Swavey, it seemed that not having found an object of affection in the House has particularly helped Ifu Ennada. One wonders what kind of pair these two would make, regardless of the fact that she did admit having a crush for Teddy A.
Let The Music Play
While my guitar gently weeps
A surprised Angel was struck to discover that the trinket box left by Biggie for the Roc Da Mat challenge was filled with all sorts of ornaments, tools and even instruments. Ever since a Ninja took his guitar away, Angel has been slightly out-of-balance for it was his very own comforter in this strangers House. Besides, he was using it to deflate tensions and also win some graces for like a magnet, his guitar irresistibly brought Housemates together into blending their harmonious voices. Sure the guitar was no Housemate but it deserved a role of its own for being able to pacify the high-strung Double Wahala spirits.
The Magical Flute
While rummaging through the box, Leo dug a flute out of the colourful mishmash and immediately stood aside to blow into it at the top of his lungs. His face had lit up, like that of a little boy who had found his precious toy. Leo was clearly enjoying the moment. He started playing the first notes of ‘Arise, O Compatriots’, Nigeria’s national anthem before taking a deep breath and going full-on the entire anthem. Meanwhile Housemates were so absorbed by their own individual tasks and talks that no one even noticed Leo’s musical talents.
The Musician’s Curse
No one, except Teddy A the rapper and musician, who had pulled a tambourine out of Biggie’s toolbox. Teddy A shook the tambourine up in air and walked from the lounge to the bedroom, while firmly eyeing the flute Leo was using. When Leo put the instrument down, Teddy A jumped at the occasion and grabbed it too. The only trouble was that he did not know how to play the flute, and instead kept making discordant sounds. Like Leo, Teddy A was also reluctant to let the flute down, as he paraded with it around the House happily spreading the cacophony in the air without anyone raising an eyebrow over it. There is a saying that music sounds different to the one who plays, that it is the musician’s curse.
It takes Two to Tango
A Tango Named Mito
Anto and Miracle’s pairing nicknamed ‘Mito’ has been going from strength to strength, following their first partnerships as Head of House. At first this pairing seemed quite odd from Biggie, considering that almost the entire House had accused Miracle of enjoying being silently selfish. Not only was Miracle’s conspicuous muteness the more doubtful for it seemed that the only person he freely engaged with was Nina. Well that is if staring into her eyes and kissing as often as possible counted as ‘engagement’. Other than that, one could count on one hand the number of times Miracle had talked.
The Mina Wahala
To many, Biggie’s pairing Mito created a rift in the first official couple of the House Mina (Nina and Miracle). This assumption proved itself to be true for Miracle and Nina suddenly started bickering around, although they always remained within eye contact distance from each other. Like during the infamous Planned Parenthood week, when as the new Head of House, Miracle abandoned Anto to go help Nina look after her baby doll. Regardless, Anto didn’t seem to be offended by Miracle’s attitude as she lived up to her role of second command in charge during their Head of House rule.
The Loto Motto
Previously paired with Lolu under the ‘Loto’ nickname, while Anto kept herself together, it is Lolu who seemed to suffer the most from being reshuffled and stuck with Cee-C of all Housemates. Therefore it came as no surprise that he was the one who initiated a kiss with Anto, but she kept all her cool, and never flinched. Given how Anto and Miracle have taken up to each other, how well they are rolling together and how synced their Roc Da Mat moves are, one cannot help but agree that Biggie’s reshuffle undeniably sparked things up in the Double Wahala House.
The Winning Alliance
The Housemates are taking this week’s Task more seriously than any one before and obviously the reason is the big prizes. A secret alliance has now been formed to better their chances but the question is – Will it work?
Games and Tricks
The “Roc Da Mat” challenge has been a contentious one from the get go, first there were issues with Teddy A and Nina not wanting to participate because the of the unfair nature to which the other Housemates were addressing the Task. With only six mats and 7 pairs, there was bound to be some butting of heads. Now things are getting extremely strategic with pairs forming alliances.
The A Team
Gelah and Mito have decided to join forces and sabotage the other pairs in their attempt at getting points in the challenge. Anto and Miracle, Ahneeka and Angel have deciphered that Alex is the weak link in the Tolex pair. Their plan is to get Ahneeka to distract Tobi and Angel to distract Alex so that they do not get any points in the challenge. Rather saucy stuff.
The Newbies
Since the secret alliance has been forged, the anxiety in the house is incontrovertible and the other Housemates have noticed. Teddy A strategically sent BamBam and Rico Swavey into the make shift congregation to find out exactly what was happening. It appears to have worked because now Bamco are fully in the secret alliance slinging their secrets.
Art & Music for the Win!
It has been a gruelling week of rehearsals for the Housemates but after putting on an exquisite presentation of Nigerian art, music and culture this evening it was all worth it after they won their 100% Wager.
The Show
This week’s theme was “Art and Music” and the Housemates were required to put on a presentation that embodied and represented this based on Nigerian culture. It is no secret that the Housemates have been a bit reckless in the past with their Tasks but tonight they really stole the show. It contained everything from theatre and music to dance and art, all in a unique and significant Nigerian manner, their performance made you proud to be African.
Shining Stars
Even though everyone did their best and it all came together really well in the end, there were some Housemates that really outdid themselves. Nina and Teddy A were the undisputable stars of the show with their presentation of music. Performing songs in English and Pidgin, Nina was a mesmerising African Goddess and Teddy A held you captive with his presence and beautiful voice. Angel and Ahneeka were an absolute vision in their jungle themed outfits and even though their presentation was shot and sweet, it was one to remember.
Biggie’s Verdict
The Housemates may of won their Wager but Biggie was still firm in his verdict that he was not entirely impressed with their behaviour this week. Big brother also made it known that next week will also be a full 100% Wager for the Housemates so they better not drop the ball.

Yesterday, A Nigerian man who was impersonating Emir of Kano, Sanusi II with a fake verified Instagram page was arrested after months of manhunt.
The gentleman who is quite active on social media, pretended to be the Emir Sanusi of Kano on Instagram with 262,000 followers – it’s reported that he uses the verified Instagram page to deceive members of the public.
Paul has now reacted to his arrest, and revealed he once had a chat with the alleged Emir who asked him to send N5 million naira to someone with his account.
Paul shared the conversation with the verified Instagram account and wrote; Guy man wan guy Guy man. “Fake Sanusi asked me to help send N5m to someone from my account as he was having issues with his online banking. His voice first gave him away when he spoke. Abeg how former CBN Oga at the top go ask ordinary me for money? Now Dey don gbege am. Lol Naija I hail o. I even answeram with sir!!!! Thunder firefire you dere”
Recall, the Emir stated in a statement that he never authorized any person or organisation to open to Instagram, Facebook, Twitter or any other social media account nor post any message on his behalf – he made this known through his Chief of Staff, Alhaji Munir Sanusi.
He explained that the effect should curb series of calls and inquiries to the office of the Emir Sanusi on purported malicious and fake social media accounts in the name of the monarch.
“We have officially notified the administrators of the fake Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and other social media accounts requesting that the accounts be closed immediately in addition to detecting the identity of the culprits.
“It is important to reiterate that the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II, has persistently stood for the unity of the nation regardless of its diversity.
“He always emphasise the need for tolerance and respect for one another.”
Over the course of the week, there were rumors that current Big Brother Naija housemate BamBam was wanted back home by her parents as a result of her perceived escapades with fellow housemate Teddy A.
Her team has however come out to clear the air stating categorically that there was no such request and that the person peddling the rumors has no affiliation with BamBam.
The statement, which was posted on her official Instagram page, reads:
Good day friends of BamBam. Happy new month.
Thank you all so much for your firm support and loyalty, we appreciate you all a lot.
There’s been a false news circulating on social media about BamBam’s parents requesting for her to leave the big brother house to return home, this news is very false as the supposed person is not family, friend or even supporter of BamBam, I repeat it is COMPLETELY FALSE and as such should be disregarded. We do not know the said user from anywhere and as such have serious affiliations with her. It’s the work of unscrupulous elements and it is what it is. Thank you for those who stuck out for us and brought it to our notice.
We have come a long way together under such short time which seems like years but you all have been constantly supportive through the good and bad and for this we deeply appreciate. We crave your indulgence to please spread this news and continue to show your support as we stand together to ensure victory is ours by Gods grace.
Still on #istandwithbambam #bambamforever#bamco#bambam#bamteddy#bamfam#bamfamexclusive#bbnaija
So, it seems as though, 29-year-old Blac Chyna is trying to divert the attention surrounding her recent sex tape leak, to her new relationship.
Chyna, 29, and a mother of two, has confirmed her romance with fast-rising rapper, YBN Almighty who is just 18-years of age, as they held hands on another date night in Studio City on Wednesday.
When asked if they are dating. Blac Chyna said, “Yeah, we’re like dating.”
The outing comes just days after Chyna and her new beau YBN were spotted cuddling up at a bowling alley on Monday.
A Nigerian singer on Facebook, with name, Sandra Sabriel Ifudu has narrated how a Taxify driver almost kidnaped her after she ordered his ride.
She took to Facebook to share that the driver waited outside her gate till 4am to kidnap her just cos the fee for the ride which she transferred to him didn’t reflect in his bank account.
Her narrative reads,
Is Taxify no longer safe for women to use? This idiot of a driver by name Izedomni dropped me off in my house last night,waited outside my gate till 4am in the morning,then came into my compound to kidnap me. According to him,the money I transferred to him ‘has not entered’,therefore I should follow him to d ATM by 4am! to confirm. If his intentions were pure,why didn’t he wait till day break? Why ask me to follow him out at that time? If this is not an attempt to kidnap,I don’t know what it is. The only person I blame in all these,is my neighbour that opened the gate for a total stranger at 4am!
This comes weeks after MTV Shuga actress, Dorcas Fapson whose saga with a Taxify driver, Udeh Henry Nnaemeka is yet to die down.
It all started when Dorcas took to Snapchat to share a horrifying incident she encountered in the hands of a Taxify driver whom she said drove her to an undisclosed location against her will.
She claimed he even tried to drag her into a building to possibly rape her. Luckily for her, she had a pepper spray in her bag which she used to defend herself.
In a statement released by the driver, he claimed the actress boarded his vehicle and told him to drive without disclosing any particular location she wanted him to take her to.
He obeyed her for a moment before asking again for her destination. He said in a statement,
she got in my vehicle and just as I started the trip I noticed there wasn’t a destination for the trip so I politely asked her for the destination to know where I’m going to and if it will be convenient for me at that time of the night but she refused to tell me and instead asked me to drive out that she will tell me later, I politely refused and asked severally for the destination but she wouldn’t tell me rather she ordered me in a harsh tone to “Move this car”!
He said he felt threatened when she started making phone calls to some people he didn’t know, so he decided to ensure she exited the car. This led to her spraying the pepper spray on his eyes.
I had to struggle with her to get my car keys from her hands. It was in the process of struggling with her, she sprayed a chemical substance (pepper spray) in my eyes.

Jyoti Amge is the smallest living woman on planet earth, according to Guinness World Book of Records.
The 23-year old Indian woman after being awarded by Guinness World Records as the smallest living woman, a title which has been holding since 2012, has finally gotten married to the love of her life at the age of 23.
Born December 16, 1993, Jyoti, has a height of 62.8 centimetres (2 ft 0.6 in) and from medical records, her restricted height is due to a growth abnormality called achondroplasia – which means she will never grow any taller than 2 ft 1 in (0.64 m).
As the smallest woman in the world, it’s not all negative for Jyoti Amge; her status has also taken her to greater heights. She ended up living her dream of becoming a Hollywood actress when she was cast in the fourth season of American Horror Story: Freak Show as Ma Petite.
While speaking of her life growing up in an interview, Jyoti said her new found fame has made her feel better and more important in the society.
“I’m very happy to be the world’s smallest woman. Getting this record has made me feel better about myself. I feel popular, special and important. It was always my dream to come to London, to see Tower Bridge, the London Eye, and Madame Tussauds.”
Getting people’s attention is something Jyoti Amge has gotten used to all her life – though it made her uncomfortable at first, she said she finally learn to live and enjoy it.
“In India, when I go around I hate the feeling of having a crowd around me, just standing there staring at me. They just come to look. It makes me feel uncomfortable. So sometimes I cover up my face with a scarf so people don’t recognise me.
“I am proud of being small. I have the same thoughts and the same dreams as you. I would like to be an actress in Hollywood and win an Oscar. The only difference is my height.
“The worst part about being so small is that I always have to rely on someone. I can’t go anywhere on my own, so I’m always dependent. I can’t run or walk too fast. If I was taller for a day, I’d just go off on my own independently.”
At 12lb, Jyoti Amge is only nine pounds heavier than when she was born. She talked about when she first realized she was smaller than other people early in life.
“I was very young – just three years old. My mum and dad took me to the hospital to find out why I was not growing properly like the others. At the beginning, I used to be very upset about the fact that I was not growing. I didn’t like how people stared at me.”
Speaking of her attire, Jyoti said all clothes and jewellery are custom-made.
“There’s a mall in India where I always go — the only place I can find clothes in my size. I go to a special shop for my rings. They measure my fingers and order the rings in specially.”
Other than chatting on social media, playing video games and watching TV during her spare time, Jyoti Amge said she loves to hang out with her friends; who usually carry her since they’re much taller.
As for romance, Jyoti insists that’s not an option for her
“I’m not looking for a boyfriend — but if I was, he’d have to be prepared to carry me around everywhere,” she said.
President Buhari’s only son, Yusuf got back to the country, from Germany after he was flown to the latter country for further medical treatment.
His sister, Zahra, has written a heartfelt not to welcome her brother. She wrote;
”Alhamdulillah you’re home Yusuf..everyday we anxiously waited for news of your improvements. And EVERYDAY you surprised us. You’re totally irreplaceable in our lives and we’ve absolutely missed you.
We thank God for his infinite mercies wisdoms and miracles that unfolded on you. You are truly your fathers son. Ajiyar Allah na biyu. You are absolutely Gods will. Alhamdulillah ya Rabbal alamin ❤ We love you to bits.
Thank you to all the People around the world that prayed for Yusuf, we as his family truly appreciate it and honestly, we have seen our prayers answered on a daily basis. Never underestimate the power of PRAYERS. ??”
Yusuf was flown out of the country after he was injured in a power bike accident in Gwanripa neighbourhood in Abuja while drag racing with a friend, Bashir Gwandu. Mr. Adesina claims Gwandu was not injured in the crash as reported in newspapers and social media outlets.
It is said that Yusuf broke his limb and sustained a head injury in the crash; a check on the hand showed it was fractured, and while at the Abuja hospital, he never regained his speech due to traumatic brain injury.
Reports have it that Yusuf was flown to St. Josef Hospital in Wiesbaden, Germany after medical sources said he had remained largely unresponsive to treatment at Cedarcrest Hospital where he was first taken after the bike accident in Abuja. The presidency earlier denied such report but Saharareporters authoritatively learnt that he was ferried out of Nigeria through the Presidential wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport.

An Uber passenger, has revealed how she had intercourse with three of her Uber drivers,including one time in a car park at the back seat.
Speaking to WHIMN, the former retail worker, lifted the lid on how her X-rated Uber encounters began following splitting up with her boyfriend of six years.
Read her story as told to Melanie Hearse below:
I was in a long-term relationship for about six years. We had a pretty racy sex life – we’d had a few threesomes, we weren’t shy about sex in public places, and we’d tried all kinds of role play.
While our sex life was great, our relationship ran its course. I had retrained a few years earlier and gone from working in retail just to earn money to working in a higher-stress industry that I really love.
My partner was still working just for the paycheck, so we had different mindsets.
I also started spending more time with work friends, and he just wasn’t that interested in our conversations, so we spent less and less time together.
We stayed friends and continued to hook up often, but when he met a new lady that stopped – it was all amicable, but obviously, she wasn’t super comfortable with me being around, which I understand.
I’d met up with a few guys through Tinder, and I honestly wasn’t looking for anything serious.
One night I went out with work friend for an early dinner, and I shared an Uber home with a colleague as it was dark when we left.
We’d been talking discreetly about the last few dudes we’d found through dating apps.
My friend was dropped off first, and I moved into the front seat next to the driver, who I’d suddenly noticed was hot.
We chatted about the traffic and his passengers that day, and I did the wedding ring check – all clear.
Not being especially shy, I asked him if he’d overheard our conversation about our previous hook-ups, and he smiled and nodded.
Then I asked him if he was in a relationship. When he said no, I asked him how he found himself “dates.”
We shared some Tinder fail stories, then, as we were getting closer to my house, I asked him if he’d ever had sex with a passenger.
He said they weren’t allowed to, but he’d been tempted a few times.
What about if he gave me his number and I called him? Would that be breaking the rules? He nodded towards a deck of his business cards with a grin.
His phone pinged a few seconds later and without saying anything else, he parked the car and we went inside.
As soon as we were inside, he pushed me up against the wall and kissed me while I took off his shirt. Twenty seconds later we were on the hallway floor, having amazing, scare-the-neighbors-loud sex.
It was great fun but I knew I’d never see him again – it did make me look at my Uber drivers in a new light, however.
My next few trips were total busts but then late one night, I ordered an Uber to take me home from work and the driver was just smoking hot, with a ready smile, and was easy to talk to and funny.
We had a 20-minute drive to get to my place, so I had plenty of time for flirting.
This guy was much blunter than the last. He smiled at me and asked if I was flirting with him.
When I said yes, he asked how far I was planning on taking it. I asked him if he was up for anything and he asked if I wanted to go back to his place, my place or if I was keen for something a little more adventurous.
It’d been a while since I’d done anything especially wild, so I chose option C. He drove down to the local waterfront parking lot – basically empty at this time of night, but being so close to the water, there were plenty of restaurants close by.
He turned the ride meter off on his phone, then leaned over, and while kissing me, grabbed a condom from the glovebox and asked if I wanted to take things to the backseat.
We moved to the back, and without much fanfare, I climbed onto his lap and went for it. It had been ages since I’d indulged my love of sex in a public place, so that, along with being on top, meant I climaxed quickly.
Given I’d been pretty vocal about it, and he had a full night’s work ahead of him, he was only a minute or so behind. We moved back to the front seat and had a quiet drive home.
By this point, I’d developed something of a reputation amongst my friends, and it was this reputation that ended up scoring me my third Uber sex story.
I was with a group after a night out when we got into an Uber together to ride home. The driver was not exactly my type, but certainly cute.
We started talking and laughing, and one of my friends, who was a bit drunk, giggled and warned him to look out, as I’d slept with a few drivers.
He raised one eyebrow and said it wouldn’t be the worst way to end a shift.
After we dropped her off, he asked if I wanted to go out for coffee. I said while he seemed really nice, I wasn’t looking for anything serious, so I was only really only interested in a quick “coffee” at my place.
All I can say is that he might not have been my usual type, but I did get to finally try something I’ve wanted to for a while – sex with a guy that could lift me up off the floor and keep going until I was done.
Senior Pastor of Daystar Church and motivational speaker, Pastor Sam Adeyemi, has given his views on payment of tithe by Christians.
According to the senior pastor, it is not compulsory to pay tithe.
The pastor said this while addressing his congregation yesterday, where he also pointed out that tithe was paid in the old Testament as a law with curses attached to failure to pay.
He said Christian should not be pressured or forced to pay tithe, adding that not paying tithe does not attract a curse for a Christian anymore.
He said, “Since we are under a new covenant, giving is a choice. Everyone should decide the percentage they want to pay with the knowledge that you will be blessed based on how you give.”
Carlos Queiroz, the head coach of the Iran National Team, has called on the authorities of FIFA to ban the barcelona forward from football, because he is too good at it.
Portuguese Queiroz insists the Argentine magician should be suspended by Fifa until he can prove he is not an extra-terrestrial!
The former Real Madrid coach remembers all too well how Messi broke Iranian hearts with a stunning stoppage time winner for Argentina during the group stages of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
And ahead of the 2018 World Cup where Iran have been drawn alongside heavyweights Spain and Portugal, Queiroz told Fifa.com:
“I’ve always said that Messi is an extraordinary player. He’s out of this world. If he were human, he wouldn’t have had that magical moment in that match.
“I don’t usually like losing, but I didn’t come away from that defeat with a negative feeling.
“It’s when something magical like that happens that you know that football is alive and kicking. And that’s why it’s one of the best sports in the world to watch.
“And it’s even more of a special moment when it comes from a player who shouldn’t be allowed to play by FIFA until it’s proven that he’s actually human!”
Former Adult star, Mia Khlaifa has in a new interview, opened up on reasons why she stopped acting adult films. Mia was once one of the most sought after porn stars in the world.
In the interview with Lance Armstrong, Mia opened up to him, revealed that her career in porn, came to an end when she began receiving death threats.
Apparently, the threats were from ISIS, and from there on, the Lebanese-American concluded that it was time to move on.
In one of the video she acted in, she was spotted wearing a hijab while performing her duties. This angered the terrorist group and they reached to her through social media, and issued some chilling death threats at her.
Mia explains to Armstrong:
“They photoshopped a picture of me being beheaded and threatened that that would happen to me,”
She further revealed that she had to be strong, not to show weakness,
“Because you can’t show weakness. That’s exactly what [ISIS is] looking for. I really try and just make it look like it rolls off, but I’ll admit, it gets to you after a while.”
Mia was featured on Lance Armstrong’s podcast that he describes as “how we fuck up in life — either we fuck up ourselves or life fucks us up — and then we figure out a way to establish a base and move forward.”
Shocking enough, her porn career only lasted for about three months. It all started when someone approached her at Fuddruckers in Miami. She had just done her boob job and she felt it would be an avenue to make more money, she said to Armstrong.
“I thought about it for two weeks and made the mistake of saying yes and going in. As soon as I started to gain popularity, that’s when I was like, ‘Get the fuck out of this’ … this was not what I was trying to do whatsoever,” she revealed.
“I just wanted to let loose and rebel a little bit. It didn’t validate me. Nothing like that ever does. That’s not what you should be doing to try and build your self-esteem.”
Billionaire daughter, DJ Cuppy and her reigning beau, Asa Asika have continued to relieve their sizzling romance as they take a vacation in the Middle East.
Florence Ifeoluwa Otedola, with her man, Davido’s manager, Asa Asika, are certainly having the time of their lives together in Dubai, UAE.
Cuppy revealed that she and Asa jetted off to Dubai to spend some quality time together – she took to her her Instagram story to share a cute mirror selfie of both enjoying some quality time together as their romance continues to burn like an unlimited oil lamp.
DJ Cuppy was formerly associated romantically with ex-Super Eagles player, Victor Anichebe – an affair which met its end last year.
It’s obvious the beauty has found probably something better in the manager, as since they begun dating, she’s never shied away from showing him off.
The twist keeps getting twistier and twistier – that’s comparative for ‘twisty’, just so you know – as we continue getting a back and forth from housemates, Tobi and Cee-C.
In the first two weeks of the reality game show, fans couldn’t get enough of the nature of Tobi and Cee-C’s relationship, with some even thinking that the former might have been brainwashed by the latter.
Later on, in course of the show, we got to think that Tobi has gotten over Cee-C but recent actions between the both of them got us thinking again – but now, the banker has revealed that everything he ever wanted from Cee-C, he has gotten.
He made this known while speaking with fellow housemate, Miracle on Wednesday night.
According to Tobi, the first weeks in the house were used by him to study Cee-C.
In his words;
“I have gotten all I needed from Cee-c. She has shown me all I needed to see and I no longer have anything to do with her, I’m telling you the truth. “In the first two weeks of our stay here, I love her genuinely. But later I discovered she wasn’t it, you understand? “See, that girl is poisonous. I’m not apologetic for anything.”
This comes after the head of house gave us a hint as to what he earns annually – he’d stated that if he were to win the Pepsi challenge ultimate prize, alongside his strategic partner, that will amount to N2.5million for him only, adding that itis quite more than what he earns annually from his bank job.
Spokesperson of outlawed secessionist group, Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Emmanuel Powerful, has refuted recent media reports claiming their leader, Nnamdi Kanu and his wife, Uchechi, were spotted hiding in Ghana.
Reports made the rounds recently that Kanu is now residing in Ghana – Nnamdi Kanu has not been seen in public since the military raided his house in Abia state in September last year.
In a statement released by Powerful, IPOB described the news of Kanu being sighted in Ghana as fake news being spread by the Nigerian Army.
It reads,
We are waiting for the next installment of these comical sightings or where they will say our leader is. Hopefully this time around one of the Nigerian security agencies will have guts and decency to come forward to say they have him in their custody.
“The sooner the Nigerian Army and government speaks the truth about the whereabouts of our leader, the better it will be for Nigeria. Understandably and rightfully so, a lot of people are angry about what has befallen our leader and they are beginning to manifest their irritation whenever the name Nigeria is mentioned in a public gathering in Biafraland”.
“How long the high command of IPOB can keep this anger under control is unknown to us but what we do know is that those holding our leader or his body should not let this anger become uncontrollable.
“Yesterday it was a fake non-existent DSS computer generated ‘IPOB leader’ they christened Okwudili Ezenachukwu who nobody has ever seen or heard from, today we are being entertained with yet another tale by the moonlight that our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and his beautiful devoted wife were spotted in Accra Ghana. The originators of this fake news and their merchants went as far as publishing old pictures of the couple to lend credence to what is in essence a calculated attempt to absolve the federal government of direct involvement in the abduction of our leader…
“No amount of fabrication and idle unsubstantiable speculation will deflect or weaken our resolve in pursuit of freedom for our leader and Biafra. This is not the first, second or third time such frivolous speculation has been placed in the public domain. It started with our leader being spotted around Cameroonian border disguised as a Yoruba woman.
When that failed to be substantiated with pictorial proof or evidence they moved to situating him at a militant camp in the Niger Delta under the protection of our brothers, the Niger Delta Avengers.
“After a few months went by without any shred of proof they alleged that our leader was ferried by boat through the Atlantic Ocean to Ivory Coast. When again that failed to gain traction, they came up with these miraculous sightings in Ghana. These sightings are begining to assume the same dimension as those of Elvis Presley reportedly seen severally over the years around his home in Graceland Memphis USA.”
A 20 year old man has reportedly been apprehended by the Kano State Police Command for allegedly impersonating the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II online.
The gentleman who is quite active on social media, pretended to be the Emir Sanusi of Kano on Instagram with 262,000 followers – it’s reported that he uses the verified Instagram page to deceive members of the public.
The unnamed lad was eventually arrested following months of manhunt and is currently helping the police with investigation.
It should be recalled that last year, the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, disowned all social media accounts opened in his name.
The Emir stated in a statement that he never authorized any person or organisation to open to Instagram, Facebook, Twitter or any other social media account nor post any message on his behalf – he made this known through his Chief of Staff, Alhaji Munir Sanusi.
He explained that the effect should curb series of calls and inquiries to the office of the Emir Sanusi on purported malicious and fake social media accounts in the name of the monarch.
Emir Sanusi noted that the current development came after an advertorial disclaimed a fake Facebook and Twitter accounts created in the name of his Highness.
He lamenting that the fraudsters have remained unrelenting in their nefarious acts.
“We have officially notified the administrators of the fake Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and other social media accounts requesting that the accounts be closed immediately in addition to detecting the identity of the culprits.
“It is important to reiterate that the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II, has persistently stood for the unity of the nation regardless of its diversity.
“He always emphasise the need for tolerance and respect for one another.”
Governor of Imo state, Rochas Okorocha has declared his intention of running for the upper legislative chamber in the 2019 general elections.
Speaking at an event on Monday, the governor said he had decided to run for Imo West Senatorial District in 2019 general election.
He said his “wealth of experience” as a two term governor positions him favorably for the office of senator.
“I have decided to run for the Imo West Senatorial zone because if I don’t, bad people will take the position. If my name appears on the ballot paper as contesting for the Senate, it will boost APC’s chances in the state. And many from my zone have said they will not contest if I am interested.” he said
First babymama of Nigerian music artiste, Davido, Sophia Momodu, in her usual way of giving a narrative, has taken to her social media account to share an embarrassing moment she experienced at a bank recently.
Mama Imade had not so much of a scene but certainly an embarrassing moment for her at a bank when her waist bands decided not to corporate with her, falling off from different parts of her body onto the floor.
The vlogger who says this apparently means that she’s adding weight, said she continued walking with her heads and nose up like nothing’s happening.
Ace Musician and Human right activist, Charles Oputa aka Charly Boy, has given his life to Christ.
A post shared on Facebook by a group run by Christ Embassy, indicated that the singer gave his life to Christ when he visited a branch of the church in Abuja last Sunday February 25th.
According to their post ;
In a scenario which could only have been divinely orchestrated, the renowned unconventional musician, entertainer, social activist, and leader of the ‘Our mumu don do’ movement, Charly Boy, is gloriously led to Christ by the highly esteemed Regional Pastor, Christ Embassy Abuja, Reverend Tom Amenkhienan.
Having been invited to church several weeks earlier by a dear sister who met and engaged him on social media, Charly Boy promised that he will come to church. With persistent reminders and follow up, on Sunday, 25th February, he arrived Abuja from a journey and came straight to church from the airport with twelve members of his activist group. He returned for an exclusive meeting with Reverend Tom on Tuesday 27th February, in the company of some members of his group. Overwhelmed by the expression of Christ’s love, he appreciated our man of God, Reverend Dr. Chris Oyakhilome for his passion for Youth Development and Nation Building, as Reverend Tom highlighted the impact of the InnerCity Mission, Future Africa Leaders’ Foundation, Campus Ministry, Global Youth Leaders’ Forum and ReachOut Nigeria Campaign.
As an activist, Charly Boy constantly demands social and political changes, and accountability in governance in Nigeria. He identifies with, and advocates for the rights of the youth and the ‘common man’ in his usual unconventional style. He is indeed deeply passionate about this cause and spoke of it with tears in his eyes, hence his joy when he discovered the passion of our man of God, Pastor Chris for the youth, and the lasting impact being made. It opened his eyes to new and more effective ways to channel his passion.
Reverend Tom then ministered to him privately, and he gloriously accepted Christ and was born again. In his new found joy, he requested that Reverend Tom also prays for his group members. He beamed with smiles as Reverend Tom announced to them, ‘CHARLY BOY IS BORN AGAIN!’ The news was received with joy and excitement, and Reverend Tom also went ahead to lead members of his group to Christ. He also gave them our ministry materials, and presented Charly Boy with a LoveWorld Plus decoder for his home.
What a glaring sign that our prayers have been answered! The Lord is doing great wonders in our midst. There is no limit to the length of the Master’s love…it can reach the farthest soul, even those perceived as ‘unreachable’. It is certainly the month of CHANGE! Glory to God!?
Yusuf Buhari, son of President Buhari, has arrived Nigeria safely after he underwent further treatment in Germany due to injuries he sustained in a bike accident last December.
Following Yusuf’s involvement, facts emerged on how Yusuf secretly acquired the multi million naira bikes, as DAILY POST exclusively gathered from a reliable source at the presidency that the BMW power-bikes, with a whopping sum of $157, 000 each from Germany were acquired secretly by Yusuf around June, 2017 at the instance of his friend, Bashir Gwandu.
Below are photos of the moment, Yusu arrived Nigeria;
Meanwhile, the President has revealed on Tuesday while addressing a meeting of the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory, that his administration has spent the last two years digging Nigeria out of the mess it was in the previous Government.(Read More here)
We’re definitely loving this brotherly bond between two of the country’s leading artistes, Davido & Wizkid after they broke the internet and dropped the jaws of many when they made a performance together at their concerts.
Everyone couldn’t get enough of the rave at that time and most of their fans are still even basking in the probability that their new found relationship could have them collaborating in songs.
Wizkid, recently welcomed a new family member, a new pet goat, and everyone were literally on the idea that should his new fam bam live through six months, they wouldn’t waste no time in making it a beauty swimming in a pool of peppersoup.
While everyone else anticipates the slaughtering of the singer’s pet, Davido couldn’t help but be amused at the kinda pet his brother in music got.
He shared the photo of Wizkid’s pet on his page and wrote:
Wizkid don buy goat oo lmao
Lol… how long do you think Wizkid’s pet will last for though?
So, someone is claiming that Big Brother Naija Housemate, the very controversial CeeC failed Law school twice, and we definitely didn’t see that coming.
This is coming after CeeC threatened to sue fellow housemate, Nina, after the latter farted on her body.. CeeC said she was going to report Nina to Big Brother, after which she’d sue Nina for provocation, as farting on her body is a criminal offense.
A follower of the show, A Lawyer, took to Instagram to criticize CeeC’s rant.. The follower wrote; “I’m dazed and I don’t believe ceec actually passed through law school. Are you sure you CeeC really passed through law school? You wanna sue because someone farted on your body and you said you want to sue based on provocation, without considering the facts and intentions?”
“That’s dumb and you are embarrassing we lawyers. Madam provocation can only serve as a partial defense for a criminal offence. You are such a disgrace to Nigerian Lawyers, you need to go back to school to study law all over again.”
See the screenshot below;
Meanwhile, Did you watch day 31 of the Big Brother Naija 3 reality show?
If you missed it, we’ve got the highlights for you!

Gelling like Gelah
When Ahneeka walked into the House, she let her million dollar smile that radiates for miles around do the talking. As days went by, the beautiful and talented Ahneeka added credence to the beauty and brains motto. While she can hold down a drink very seriously and is a major competition in the twerking territory, there is far more than meets the eye to Ahneeka.
Ravenously Rihneeka
More than the beauty and sex-appeal, she has been the brainpowers behind her two partnerships so far. First when she was paired with Rico Swavey as Rineeka, it didn’t take long for her partner to be tortured by the constant drooling over her. She on the other hand quickly cooled off any fantasies he was starting to entertain, for Rico was more like a little brother to her than a serious contender. She had come for the prize and nothing would veer her off her track.
Genially Gelah
While at first the logic behind Biggie’s next pairing her with Angel wasn’t immediately clear, it has ultimately proven to be a perfect match. Ahneeka and Angel offer a fantastic combination of wits, ease and ooze confidence. Like with Rico, Ahneeka is the silent leading member of the pair, never enforcing her opinion, softly guiding her mate into her own strategy. Unlike anyone else in the House, she managed to placate Angel’s bragging tendencies, a trait that has made him come across as socially clumsy. As they spend all the time together, following each other – or rather Angel willingly being led – the inevitable happened and Angel fell for Ahneeka. The perfectly controlled Ahneeka didn’t bat an eyelid. It was business as usual for her, though we suspect that something is cooking between the two of them.
Ahneeka has been curiously coy lately and Angel made no secret that he would want to date someone like her outside the House.
Rocking, Rolling & Riding
Biggie gathered Housemates in the Lounge to give them further instructions for the third part of the Roc Da Mat challenge.
Housemates were already aware that they were still expected to dance to the seven songs they had been assigned. However Biggie introduced a slight twist in that he would now be playing similar songs into the House, very similar tunes but not the right songs, and just to push Housemates a little bit further. The caveat this time is that any Housemate caught dancing to the wrong song, that is a song not on their tracklist would have a point deducted.
As fate has it, Cee-C was the first casualty of the game for she rushed onto the mat when Tekno & DJ Cuppy‘s tune Green Light and not Pana belted out the speakers. Sadly for Lolu, this meant that their pair Ceelo lost another point – in addition to the strikes they’ve jointly received. Yet Biggie was in a lenient mood for he conceded that having Anto and Leo enact their Punishment today would hinder their participation in the challenge. To allow them to fully focus on their Task, Biggie postponed the Punishment to Friday, a news greeted with broad smiles by Housemates.
When the first Ninja emerged out of the elevator, Housemates knew it was time to open the fourth box. Biggie appointed Teddy A to go pick the key from the Ninja’s basket. He swiftly entered the glass room to open the corresponding box, that to everyone’s surprise contained a ₦2.5 million reward for the pair that would win the weekly challenge. Later a second Ninja walked into the Lounge, and this time it was Ifu Ennada who had the privilege of unlocking the box only to be slightly deceived by its Punishment of barking, begging and behaving like a dog
As of today, Ifu Ennada and Leo (Lifu) together with Tobi and Alex (Tolx) are leading the game with five points, while Teddy A and Nina are at the bottom.
Charming Ambassadors
To celebrate the Nigerian Arts, Culture and Entertainment industry, Biggie gathered Housemates in the lounge and instructed them to work closely together. Head of House Tobi read the instructions that the seven pairs had to work on seven original presentations covering the breadth and width of the vibrant Nigerian Arts, Culture and Entertainment industry.
No Housemate forgot that Biggie’s expectations were high and real and demanding, and that winning the Wager was contingent on the totality of the presentations covering a son, a poem, a dance, a painting, a play. In short, anything that honoured the industry throughout the past, the present and the future.
Biggie made it clear that shoddy presentations were not acceptable as Housemates would be provided with all the writing materials and equipment needed to deliver outstanding performances. Biggie also stressed that no extension would be granted, a nod to Rico Swavey who forgot his lyrics in the midst of his presentation last week.
Regardless of his good will, it took Tobi a whole lot of energy to bring Housemates on the same page and divide amongst themselves the Tasks. People were speaking over one another until Tobi’s voice filled the room demanding attention. It was agreed that Music, Fashion, Dance and Drama would be started until the three outstanding sections were decided upon. Yet this didn’t help curb the tension as Ifu Ennada and Tobi exchanged a few scathing statements.
See High, Ceelo
Here’s a reminder, lest we forget the show’s tagline, Double Wahala. Without fail and within a short period of time, Ceelo has managed to remind us that multiple folds of drama can in fact be found in one place, where else but the Big Brother House?
Lolu, Then and Now
Lolu, an ex-constituent of Loto has had his fair share of drama and seems to have come out stronger and more resilient. According to the signals he’s given, his and Anto’s was not just strategic pairing, the girl was literally his muse; so much so that even through Biggie’s reshuffles, his eye’s gaze has never wondered away from her. We were introduced to his emotional side when his name was mentioned by DJ Xclusive during the Saturday night turn up and further explored his softness and fragility when he spoke of his mom and upbringing. The screams and hurling of insults pretty much began when he was initially paired with Cee-C and it seems to be spiraling out pf control.
Cee-C’s Royal Beginnings
Cee-C has been the centre of controversy for a while now. Initially paired with Tobi and having enjoyed the HoH luxuries for a good two weeks. Her gaming approach was somewhat confusing and had the other Housemates thinking that she placed herself on a pedestal too high and felt they were all commoners. This brings us to the question of personality dynamics; it seems as though the other Housemates simply judged her without actually getting to know her. After much self-containment, she finally let out a more emotional and longing side to herself. In her own way, she finally reciprocated Tobi’s feelings and although that didn’t end so well, he seems to still see the softness in her, which really does exist. Afterall, the more responsive, the more sensitive. She’s simply a caterpillar that needs to be allowed to bloom into a butterfly.
Ceelo Wars
The two have completely different personalities and seem to be totally aware of themselves, hence the constant quarrels. None accepts to be completely submerged in the others’ comforts. Today’s explosion stems from various things; Lolu constantly warning Cee-C to keep to herself and avoid being too explosive; while she feels that even though in a partnership, they should still strive on free masonry. Ultimately, this is what the show is about; interactions between people of different backgrounds and schools of thought. The drama is just a bread crumb from the main table. If this is their strategy; it certainly is raising a lot of eyebrows. Will they survive the chopping board and avoid wanting to literally chop each other?
Can I Take You Out?
First, it was the HoH save and replace that further intoxicated the already polluted air in the ‘Cebi’ universe and had Cee-C thrown under the bus in the name of strategy. Then, Tobi seemed to have been very defensive of the other Housemates and left Cee-C hanging by the thread up the roadside tree.
Meal Under The Moon Light
Despite the blood rush causing moments, Cee-C and Tobi seemed to be civil towards each other and acted as normally as they both could manage. Between all the music and dancing, yet another conversation seemed to have taken place between the two of them, one that lead to Cee-C agreeing to a date with him. Remember his request for a box of chocolates to gift Cee-C as token of his apology? He decided to take the initiative and with the help of Chef Rico Swavey, served a simple but thoroughly thought through moon lit dinner. Clearly dressed to impress and ready to verbally caress, Tobi sweetly directed Cee-C to her seat and sealed their little romantic cocoon by shutting the front doors. Even a blind man could see how smitten they both were; the oga even reached out and fixed her hair, to which she obliged.
Ironing It Out
Cee-C seemed to be unable to let the save and replace matter go and Tobi explained his reasons for putting her and Lolu up for Eviction; elaborating that even though he felt so strongly for her, his principal objective wasn’t romance and he therefore needed to strategize accordingly. She too expressed her dissatisfaction and how broken she was by it. Fast forwarding to today after her quarrelsome episodes with Nina, Miracle and Lolu; it did look like Tobi was more for the others than he was for her for which he eventually apologized.
Strategy or not, Cee-C was obviously very shattered by the candy coated betrayal and having been the one to have spent the most time with her, Tobi understood just how much this turn of events affected her, hence his gesture. We’re beginning to wonder whether his feelings are real or he’s just playing the ‘Keep your enemies closer‘ game. Nonetheless, this whole thing gave us goose bumps all over.
