A Young Nigerian Muslim man has started a debate on Twitter after he condemned pre-wedding photos, which is now a trend, and said it’s a sin.
@Em_Mozay said even though the whole world is doing it? It doesn’t change the fact that it’s “Haram”. He argued with those who disagreed with him and it degenerated into name calling.
He tweeted; Pre wedding pictures in Islam is haram.Haram is haram even if the whole world is doing it!
No Pre wedding pictures for me. I will not go die then be burnt by the flames of jahannam, all in the name of flaunting. Subhanallah astaghfirullah
The tweet went viral on the micro-blogging site and a hot debate ensued…
Last week, a very disturbing video of a little girl, a 6-year-old being forced to give an adult male a blow-job was shared across the world on social media, and it caused serious uproar.
The video which went viral caused an outrage online, as many folks called on several appropriate agencies to investigate the footage.
On Tuesday February 6th, Germaine Moore, 44, of Millbrook, Alabama, turned himself into authorities at about 2:30 a.m, after the Alabama Internet Crime Against Children Task Force and Central Alabama Crime Stoppers announced warrants on Monday.
“We’re definitely glad he’s in custody,” Lt. Brooke Walker, the commander of the Alabama Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force told AL.com Tuesday. “I”ve been doing this for 12 years, and he’s the top.”
The arrest comes after initial reports claimed that the suspect was from Trinidad and Tobago.
According to reports, the suspect is charged with sexual assault of a child, distribution of video depicting the assault and first-degree criminal sexual conduct. More charges are also expected to be filed against Moore.
His fiancee, Tonya Hardy, has also been arrested after she failed to cooperate with investigators following a search of Moore’s Millbrook home.
During a search of their home, the law enforcement said they seized multiple devices they are now examining for evidence.
“After multiple attempts to locate Moore, Moore’s wife, Tonya Hardy Moore, arrived at the residence and chose not be cooperative in the search for Moore,” Lt. Walker said.
“Basically she chose him over her children,” the commander added.
Tonya Hardy who will be charged with hindering prosecution is being held alongside her fiance at the Elmore County Jail.
According to Montgomery Advertise, the 44-year-old man who’s not new to committing sexual abuse on children is also accused of abusing three children in Alabama and Detroit.
He has been charged with five felony counts and now faces a $5 million cash bond in Elmore County.
In addition to eleven felony charges in Michigan, the site reported that Germaine Moore faces one count of first-degree rape, three counts of traveling to meet a child for an unlawful sex act and one count of facilitating the travel of a child for an unlawful sex act in Alabama.
The 19th Circuit Court Judge Bill Lewis set a $1 million cash bond per charge.
Moore is also alleged by Michigan authorities to have abused three young family members between 2011 to 2017 in Alabama and Detroit. The female victims are currently aged 9, 10 and 12.
“We have a total of three child victims on the charges we have today,” Elmore County Chief Deputy District Attorney C.J. Robinson said Wednesday. “The investigation is ongoing, there could be additional victims and additional charges.”
Although, investigators aren’t yet sure where the graphic child pornography video that recently went viral was filmed but the 6-year-old victim has been located and she’s safe.
In another news, the authorities have arrested one Jerrell Washington, 42, on one count of possession and dissemination of child pornography.
He was not involved in making the video, but for illegally participating in the dissemination of child porn on Facebook.
The police are expected to make more arrested for the distribution of the video.

According to a well-known Australian Islamic Scholar Imam Tawhidi, Nigeria is the most corrupt country in Africa and she is run by a terrorist government that harbors terrorists.
The popular scholar who revealed this in a series ofTweets, stated the fact that the dreaded Boko haram terrorist group in the country is being supported by the government of Nigeria – Just like it is in Pakistan.
According to him, If Boko Haram had been annihilated from the onset, their activities would not escalate up until this moment where they are, on a daily basis, killing and maiming thousands of helpless Nigerian citizens.
The scholar is now surprised that Nigeria that gave the insurgents much chance to penetrate the society, are now leading the fight against terror across Africa.
He wrote;
“We have ignored Nigeria in the discussion about terrorism. Nigeria is the most corrupt country in Africa. It is home to a terrorist government that harbours terrorists just like the government of Pakistan. Boko Haram were given the green light in their early stages. We Remember.
Now all of a sudden Nigeria wants to lead the war against terror. Indeed, “my enemy is also my sword, I shall use him to kill with and then break the sword”.
The Federal Government may have notified the management of MultiChoice DSTV/GOTV that their operations, in Nigeria, will come to an end in 2019 as their license expires June next year.
According to a letter to that effect issued, on Tuesday, by the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation(NBC), the license issued to them in 2014 by NBC will not be renewed because it was not in line with Digital Switch Over (DSO) White Paper.
If Multichoice DSTV/GOTV will ever operate in Nigeria again after expiration of its license, the only option left for them is to go to licensed Signal Distribution company, that is Pinnacle Communications Ltd or ITS.
GOTV has been accused of being used as a conduit to siphon foreign exchange from Nigeria by its parent company, South African Multi Choice DSTV.
According to a Twitter user Nkomo Alison, who shared the heartbreaking story, a father brutally molested his 17-year-old daughter and while doing it, he told her he wanted to know if she taste like her mother.
She added that the man has since been arrested but the family has abandoned the girl.
The Ebonyi state House of Assembly suspended its member representing Afikpo North East constituency in the Assembly, Mrs Maria Ude Nwachi aka Afikpo Chic, for an alleged gross misconduct.
The motion for the suspension was moved by the Leader of the House, Hon. Joseph Nwobasi as Mrs. Nwachi was accused of allegedly posing as a public photographer.
The House said Nwachi have refused to heed earlier warnings by the Assembly to desist from being a photographer in the state.
Nwachi, a former Minority Leader, according to the house by her actions has brought disrespect and dishonesty to herself and the Assembly by by posing as public photographer.
She was therefore suspended for 14 days pending the outcome of investigations on the allegations leveled against her by a special committee constituted by the House to investigate the allegations.
Maria Ude Nwachi in a recent interview with Micheal Ugwu, has now broken silence over her suspension from the House.
She claimed that she is being victimized for her decision to move from the House of Representatives after her tenure in the state House of Assembly.
Read excepts from the interview below…
Q: Let me go straight to the point, the general assertion is that the Governor of your state is going after you because of your National Assembly ambition, and is willing to go any length to stop you. Governor Umahi has said many times that he will not support any state assembly member who intends to go higher, that you should all escort him back to his second term, and that he will crush anyone who opposes him. His words “.. anyone who tries us would be injured because if the person falls on us, he will be grinded into granite and if we fall on him, he will be grinded into ashes…” Don’t you think that he feels insulted by your ambition to go to Abuja, which you have never made hidden.
A: Before I won my state of assembly election, I had made a path with myself, and had said, that I would only do one term in the state assembly. And there is nothing on earth that will make me change my mind. NOTHING. It has nothing to do with my Governor, this is my own path and I have every right on this earth to decide my own path. I would rather be out of politics than go back to state house of assembly. This is not arrogance, this is a resolve I made even before winning the election. I had never even met my governor when I made this path to myself. Because I knew nothing about politics prior to winning my election, I had not met or seen many of the politicians I know today in my state, including my governor. I do not mean to disobey his order, this is something I cannot compromise, for anything, on this earth.
Q: It appears that their plan was to bring you into PDP and then immediately start going after you. Do you regret joining PDP?
A: No, I do not regret joining PDP. I don’t like the feeling of regrets, because no matter how bad a situation turns out, there are great lessons to take away from it. You can’t eat your cake and have it, you can’t benefit a lot from the lessons situations taught you for free, and at the same time regret the situations. Joining PDP to please my Governor was the right thing to do at that time. I was in the fore-front of promoting his development strides, which were real, and so it was an easy decision to make; when he insisted I join PDP.
Q: Many were against you joining PDP saying that it was a ruse to bring you in, trap you, and then run you down, have they been proven right?
A: It’s never over until it’s over. Let them know I was once in PDP before moving to PPA to win my election. I am the architect of my decisions and will take personal responsibility for the outcomes of every decision I make. I am not a child. I don’t feed through my nose. Therefore, I welcome every consequence of my decisions in life. I am 47 years old, a middle aged woman. Old enough, in all ramifications. I take responsibility for all my actions.
Q: You have done a lot of photography for many, including your own governor, but it seems that the one that they are not happy with the most is that of Governor Rochas, and in their report they made a mention of it. Is this going to affect your photography activities?
A: Photo camera does not discriminate in any way, shape, or form.
Q: The state assembly also included the Igboist IMC on their report, saying that; that though it was not meant to defraud, it was illegal to operate the scheme. What is your take on that?
A: IMC is just an internal program that was done to empower ourselves in a group I founded in 2012. This is an internal program. The participants are members of Igboist. The program actually achieved what it was set out to do. 7 millionaires emerged and have all been paid in full. 100s of other winners have been paid. It was never a ponzi scheme. And it was never a scam. I would not destroy what took me years to meticulously build in love and unity. But before we embark on something like this again, we would make sure that we tighten all loopholes; and do it differently, as my traducers, and those not happy with the succeeds of Igboist, can easily use something like this to attempt to inflict as much damage as possible; by sowing doubts in people’s mind and making all manners of false statements on it.
Igboist has been uniting Igbos in love for years. Igboist will never go down, we will continue to grow stronger and stronger, I have been empowering many of the members, in my own small way, since the inception, and it will not stop. Rather I will even up the ante; with all pleasure. These are trying times in Igboist, it will pass and make us stronger, and more united. I know this because when your intentions are good and true, lies and smears will only disrupt temporarily.
Q: The general assertion is that there is a need to damage you and that your state government is embarking on using every means available to achieve that. How do you intend to protect yourself?
A: That is a loaded question. I will do my best.
Q: You have worked very hard in promoting the image of the governor to the world, through your photography and articles. You are also one of the leaders of an organization that promotes your governor for second term. You were all over the place pomoting his bid for re-election last year. Are you still going to be doing the promotions online and physically?
A: I have no regrets on that. Life goes on.
Q: Being suspended for 6 months, means that your constituency, Afikpo North East will not have any say and represantion for 6 months, and from all indications, they can even keep you out for more. Do you have any plans in fighting to get back to where you were duly elected to be in?
A: I will do the best I can.
Q: You won election in a manner that has never actually taken place in this country. You came from outside the system, no godfather, no stake holder, in an unknown party. Now real Nigerian politics is playing out, where you need to conform to the way they do things. How are you going to go about that?
A: I came into Nigerian politics because I wanna do things differently from the norm. I wanted to prove to the world that a Nigerian politician can put her needs last before the need of others. And I am living it. I have spent millions of my own money working in my constituency. I have not built a single thing for myself. I started work as soon as I was elected with 10s of million naira of my own money, this is even before I received a penny as a pay as a legislator. A state of the art facility I built for my people, which has sent me to broke house, with pleasure, will be unveiled in less than 2 weeks. I am in politics to affect lives, to affect positive changes, and to tone down the bigmanism associated with it. I am not in politics to look sexy, I am not in politics to build personal houses, I am not in politics to acquire wealth for myself. I am not politics to answer endless titles. I came in with good intentions for others.
Be that as it may, if I am not in politics today, that will still be fine. I HAVE KILLED AND BURIED MY EGO-SELF. I have no ego to feed. I am not ashamed to work, to do any work, I got to do. I am a natural servant and can serve anyone, with pleasure and dedication. I am not lazy. If I not in Nigerian politics today, I will be just fine. I am very content with whatever I have.
Q: Since the ordeal have you reached out to your governor?
A: Yes, but he has yet to give me audience.
Q: There are so many people that are worried and unhappy about your ordeal, do you have a word for them?
A: I am grateful for your concerns. I assure you all that I will continue to work hard towards my goals and vision. It is gonna be a bumpy ride, but nothing good comes on a platter of gold. I will be roughed up, I will be humiliated, I will be mocked, I will be debased, but in the end, my good intentions will trump all, and see me through.
Q: What is your message to everyone, including your “traducers”?
A: Whether you pushed me or pulled me, drained me or fueled me, stayed by my side or left me, loved me or hated me, hurt me or helped me, you’re part of my growth, and I THANK YOU.
As usual, Reno Omokri is at it again with his daily #RenosNuggets and this time, he notify ladies about the dangers of having sex with “Yahoo Boys”.
He took to Twitter to reveal that when a girl has sex with a yahoo boy, she becomes a partaker of the punishment that awaits him.
He wrote: “Girls, A yahoo boy destroys his victims lives. His victims cry out to God. When you connect yourself with him by having sex (Sexual Energy Exchange), your become not just a participant in his crimes, but also a partaker in the punishment God has prepared for him #RenosNuggets”
Hee’s a viral “pre-wedding photo” turned banner, of a man who is set to walk down the aisle to his two beautiful brides.
According to the banner, he’d be marrying his wives traditionally, on two separate days, while they’d have a final joint white wedding on a Sunday.
The dates are as follows:
Traditional wedding: Friday 23rd and Saturday 24th of February, 2018.
White Wedding: Sunday, 25th of February.
Although some religions like Islam permits a man to marry more than one wife, and other traditions around the country also embrace polygamy if a man decides to, Christianity on the other hand maintains monogamy in Nigeria.
The Pairing of the season 3 Big Brother Naija housemates seems to have been achieving it’s aim of “bonding”, as there seems to be a lot of sexual tension in the house.
Lolu and Anto are in the spotlight this time as Lolu is seen to have quickly covers his erection after Anto stands up from his lap.
The former had a big erection that he quickly tried to hide with his hands after Anto stood up from in between his legs.
Recall, K. Brule apparently, tried to lick the Ice cream off Anto’s lips, so he could get a kiss, but she refused.. Yes, he licked the ice cream off her cheeks also, but Anto didn’t allow Brule Kiss her on the lips.
Minutes later, Princess rubbed some Ice cream on Lolu’s lips, and he walked up to Anto, and she didn’t waste no time in Kissing Lolu, and it was beautiful.
A very pained Brule looked on with great shook.
There has really been much fun in the house recently, as Anto gave the outgoing Big Brother Naija 2018 ‘Head of House’, Tobi, a lap dance.
Controversial Nigerian actress, Tonto Dikeh who revealed that she worships God selflessly, has prayed to God to give her a baby girl.
The mother of one while playing with her 2-year-old son, King Andre revealed that she’s praying to have a baby girl and it has since made online users wondering if she’s in a secret relationship.
See screenshots below…
Recall, the lingering marital drama between Nollywood Actress, Tonto Dkeh and her ex- husband has taken another twist as Mr. Olakunle Churchill filed a Suit at the family court of the Lagos State Magistrate court.
Thus, the Reality Show called “King Tonto” being produced by Linda Ikeji Media Limited and featuring King Andre cannot be released or aired.
This is said to be the first step to be taken by Mr. Churchill towards protecting his son’s rights as captured under the Child Rights Law of Lagos State.
Mr Churchill is of the opinion that featuring King in such a production is solely to exploit his son for financial gain, expose the life and times of the little boy at a period when he cannot make a decision for himself. As the Production is basically of adult content.

On collaborating with Tekno, Orezi says, “I love Tekno and I love his music. We have always talked about making a record together and we just made it happen.”
Produced by Mystro, the song begins and ends with a pleasant harmonization between the two ‘Alhajis.’ The up-tempo song blends afrobeat and dancehall sounds while Tekno’s verse introduces Igbo highlife vibes that will make you Whine for Daddy.

The Big Brother Naija season 3 premiered on 28th of January 2018, with 20 housemates. [See their profiles here]
Now, in the spirit of throwback, we bring you the FIRST EVER SET of Housemates of the Big Brother Nigeria season1..
The show, which featured 14 contestants with $100,000 prize money, was won by Katung Aduwak, while Sandra Osaigbovo and others came in as runners-up.
Many of the former housemates have since moved on to various pursuits — some into private businesses which have kept them out of the spotlight, while others remained in the limelight.
Here’s a bit about what seven of the 14 housemates have been up to 11 years after:
Katung Aduwak
We all cannot forget that moment when 26-year-old Katung was announced the winner. His win was surprising since he came into the house after the second eviction and won about 80 percent of the tasks. He and his co-housemate, Sandy, were kept in isolation with no external contact and zero access to TV or news for three weeks before being introduced to the show.
Katung proceeded to New York to get a directorial degree from the Digital Film Academy, after which he returned to Nigeria and worked on several projects. He produced and directed the movies Unwanted Guest and Heaven’s Hell.
He also directed a number of music videos for Chocolate City, Styl Plus, Gabriel Afolayan and starred in EbonyLife TV’s Desperate Housewives. Currently, Katung is the Senior Channel Manager MTV Base and Executive Director at Chocolate City.
Ebuka Obi-Uchendu
He is perhaps the most prominent face on the entertainment scene since leaving the Big Brother House. Ebuka won our hearts with his charming smile and witty personality. Although he did not win the show, he went on to write for a number of newspapers and magazines and anchor events before taking a break to go back to school for his master’s degree in Law.
Since his return to the scene in 2011, there has been no stopping him!
Ebuka has become a media personality of note, contributing to several online publications and hosting several events.
In 2013, he was announced as the new host of Rubbin’ Minds, a youth-focused TV show on Channels Television and is also one of the co-hosts of The Spot, a show that combines a bit of reality TV with talk show and sitcom, showing on EbonyLife TV on DStv channel 165 alongside Lamide Akintobi and Zainab Balogun.
He has won several awards and has been honored by the Federal Government among Top 100 Young Nigerians to mark Nigeria’s centenary celebration in 2014.
Gideon Okeke
He was the sixth evictee of the Big Brother Nigeria House and 10 years later, Gideon has maintained a steady acting career. He captured our attention with his role in AfricaMagic’s Tinsel, the longest running Nigerian soap opera, and a number of feature films such as 93 days, A Place in the Stars and When Love Happens.
His acting prowess has earned him a number of accolades and recognition, including an award for Best Actor in a TV series (Drama) Nigerian Entertainment Award in 2010 and a nomination for Best Actor in a Drama in the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Award (AMVCA) in 2015.
He has been a part of big budget stage productions such as critically acclaimed SARO The Musical (2014). He has also hosted several TV shows and events and is the CEO of a media outfit, AppleBox.
Francisca Owumi
She was the fiery dancer during her stay at the Big Brother Nigeria House and emerged first runner up. After a stint as a writer at Revista, an international magazine based in Ghana; the Big Brother Nigeria star made a comeback, with two singles Gbadu you and Diva under her own record label Cisca Entertainment.
Sandra Osigbovo
Also known as ‘Sandy’, she finished fourth in the Big Brother Nigeria House. Ten years after the curtain fell on the competition, Sandra is now a certified fitness trainer and Zumba instructor. She is a Fellow at the Institute of Registered Exercise Professionals (IREP).
Maureen opted for a career in the corporate world after the Big Brother Nigeria experience.
She later proceeded to the Fashion Retail Academy in London for a degree in Fashion Buying Merchandising and Management.
Now, she works as the creative director and independent buyer at Aurora Daniels.
Maureen Osuji – NOW.Maureen Osuji – BEFOREMaureen Osuji – BEFORE
Frank Konwea
Known for his ‘loud-mouthed-ness’ in the house, Frank continued his career as a professional dancer, performing at several shows and concerts. He was also a judge on a popular dance TV show.
The Big Brother phenomenon presents a platform of endless possibilities. It holds the appeal of catapulting ‘ordinary’ people from different walks of life into super-stardom. Some of these individuals didn’t even know the extent to which this road will take them, but they were willing and brave enough to take the plunge!
So, come January 2017, the country and, indeed, the whole of Africa, will be introduced to a new set of talents who would be on the road to stardom.

Chidiogo took to Instagram to share lovely photos of them and wrote a lengthy but lovely caption;
Celebrating our civil union ? Excited for all the white & colourful celebrations with friends and family to come ?? Thank you Andrew for being a daily reminder of the miracles that exist in this world and the power we have to tap into it.
On a cold February evening in Geneva, I wrote down words that I feel connected our destinies & led our paths to cross 7 months later in the deserts of Nevada. “Monday, 8 Feb 2016. Geneva – Clayton asked that I do a true exercise of what I want. Here goes. I seek a partnership with a strong man, mind, body and spirit.
I seek a partnership with a man who will cherish, love and honour me & the life we build together, supporting each other through the journey with kindness, love, a smile & words that put difficulties in perspective.
He will not be away from home all the time but have a career that allows for him to assist strongly and sometimes wholly in building a home for us and for the children. He will be conscious and inspire us to grow in consciousness.
He will be full of kindness and have a depth of love that leaves us inspired by what two people can achieve together. He will hold me and we will give gratitude. He will be flexible.
He is adventurous/open to new experiences. He is happy in himself & together we share happiness in God and Love.” 7 months later after strong guidance came to me to go to Burning Man — I met him. It was a story of the union of souls. I felt I had written him to existence and rejoiced in the connection we shared.
One I know started with a decision to focus on the wholeness of my own soul — self love — & from the space of taking time for self I was ready to take time for anothers soul and him mine inturn. I was not looking for a man so save me but a man to hold me up in my own strength. Together we continue to weave a web of care, love, strength, that isn’t without its difficulties but I’m learning & growing with & from them.
I say yes to a life spent together in partnership — to holding each other up outwardly and on the inside — to loving every part of ourselves and each other knowing we have the power to create and re-create from a place of peace with what is & the infinity that can be.
Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau has released a new video pledging to continue attacks days after Nigerian army repeated that the group had been defeated.
The factional leader said in the video which was released on Tuesday said that a recent effort to clear out Boko Haram’s stronghold of Sambisa forest in Borno State had failed and vowed to keep fighting against Nigeria and western education.
“The person that believes in nationalism is the one we are at war with, the person who believes in disseminating western education, which is replete with unbelief, is the one we fight”, Shekau said in the 11-minute video.
In the video, delivered in Hausa Language, Shekau expressed frustration on the continued hostility and loss of his supporters to Nigerian army.
He pleaded with his non-combatant members across Nigeria to pick up arms and help him fight till he drops dead. He added that the latest claim by the military that the group had been sent packing from Sambisa forest was false.
He boasted that he is still in Sambisa forest and still controls the territory.
“You, the military chief in Maiduguri, have been boasting of taking over Sambisa because you rescued women, telling lies to people. Where are the policewomen? Why didn’t you rescue them if you have indeed defeated us since it is our brethren that is holding them in the same Sambisa?,” he questioned in the video.
Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari said Boko Haram which means “Western education is forbidden” in the Hausa language was “technically defeated” in December 2015.
Boko Haram’s capacity has been weakened since 2014 when it controlled swathes of territory in northeast Nigeria but it still poses a threat.
Last Sunday, Boko Haram fighters stormed a village in northeast Nigeria, killing two people, while six people were killed in an attack in northern Cameroon.
At least 20,000 people have been killed in nearly nine years of violence and more than 2.6 million made homeless, triggering a humanitarian crisis across the Lake Chad region. AFP
Star Boy, Wizkid and Super Eagles Forward, Alex Iwobi have both unveiled the team’s new jersey ahead of the Russia 2018 FIFA World Cup set to start on the 14th of June.
The singer via his snapchat, shared some photos from the unveiling ceremony which held on the 7th of Febraury, one of him with Alex Iwobi flaunting the home jersey, and another of him alone, checking out his customized Eagles away kit.
In another photo, the singer indicated a collaboration between his Starboy imprint and Nike, the designer of the new Eagles Kit.
The jersey is similar to the kit worn by the Super Eagles team at the 1994 World Cup – the squad comprised Mutiu Adepoju, Sunday Oliseh, Rashidi Yekini (late) among others.
Reacting to the new kit, Adepoju gave it a nod.
“Behold the jerseys @NGSuperEagles will be wearing at the 2018 @FIFAWorldCup. It’s a YES! YES!! for me. Thank you @thenff and @nikefootball”, he wrote on Twitter.
The home Kit has a eagle wing-inspired black and white sleeve and green torso while the away kits carries the full green strip.
The jerseys were launched with the help of Premier League trio Wilfred Ndidi, Alex Iwobi and Kelechi Iheanacho, as well as ex-Chelsea midfielder and Super Eagles captain, John Obi Mikel.
The Super Eagles of Nigeria will play Argentina on the 26th of June.
They’d also wear the new kit on the 23rd of March when Nigeria faces Poland in a friendly billed for Warsaw, Poland.
A 42-year old married man, Adewale Fajemiloye has landed in trouble after he was implicated by a 16-year old girl who told his wife that she had slept with him severally in their compound.
The incident happened at Unity Close, Eruwen area of Ikorodu, Lagos State.
The parents of the victim did not take the revelation lightly as they alleged that Fajemiloye had abused and defiled their daughter at a very tender age. The parents then reported the matter to the police and Fajemiloye was arrested.
P.M.EXPRESS scooped that Fajemiloye had lured the victim with gifts when his wife was not around and defiled her in 2016.

Some Nigerians have condemned the Big Brother Naija (BBN) show saying it is a profitable show, but a cause for alarm.
The third season tagged “Double Wahala,” commenced some weeks ago with 20 contestants competing for a N45 million prize and a brand new SUV.
Some of the viewers of the programme told newsmen that the show was “an insult to their intelligence as it promotes immorality among contestants.”
They condemned how the housemates were kissing each other as if they had been legitimately being married.
Mrs Olabisi Afolabi, a mother of two teenagers said, “BBNaija becomes addictive when one indulges in watching it.
“I always engage my children in productive activities while the show is on. “My children are under eighteen. They should not be exposed to anything that is pornographic in nature.”
For Abimbola Coker, BBNaija shows should be censored by government approved regulatory agencies to remove all obscene portions before transmitting it for public consumption.
“Obscenity and nudity become rampant in the show and such should not be encouraged in our society.” According to Samson Ogunsunlade, “BBN has shaped the perspectives of youths to glamorize or embrace unethical and immoral scenes as if it is a convention. “It is an avenue to make fast money without meritorious cause and a perverse drama costumed with the facade called ‘entertainment’.”
Some viewers said that the organisers of the show should improve on its organisation to make it more educative because many teenagers were watching either legally or illegally.
“A balance should be created between fun and depth.” They, while comparing the 2018 show with the 2017 edition with the theme ” See Gobe”, said that the 2018 show had not been entertaining enough.
This is the second week the show kicked off and many Nigerians had said that it was not entertaining enough.
Cassandra Smith, a banker, said that the housemates were not serious and it appeared that they were more interested in catching some fun in the house than winning the whopping prize money of N45 million.
She said they looked unambitious and were attending to issues nonchalantly referring to when the housemates lost their wager in their first week in the house. “The housemates are not serious, they are there to entertain us, and they are not doing anything serious that compared to the housemates from the 2017 edition. “They should be made to sit up and entertain the viewers because that is the essence of the show,” she said.
Also, Hope Samson, an Accounting student of University of Lagos said that Biggy’s voice which was one of the endearing factors to the show was not audible enough. Samson said that Biggy’s voice was a brand on its own and wondered why such loud and baritone voice would be changed this year to such that was not audible enough.
“Biggy’s voice should be as clear and audible as that of 2017 because we see that voice as an attraction to watch the show,’’ she said.
Mr Alao Lawal said that the scrolling pad on the television screen was not clear enough for viewers to read comments. “ To me, the show has been interesting, mostly at night during their daily task but the information pad on the screen has very tiny characters which make it difficult to read through except one moves closer to the television screen. “I expect that this should be improved on,” he said.
Elizabeth Afolabi, a staff member with a courier service said that the show had been boring as only a handful of the housemates had been entertaining so far. Afolabi advised Biggy to work on them so that they would be themselves and stop being pretentious.
“In my own opinion, I am always finding the show boring each time I watch it because I feel the housemates are still pretending to be what they are not. ” Biggy should think of more tasking activities that will force them to bring out their true persons,” she said.
Mr John Ayilara said that the show should inculcate educative activities and minimise obscene scenes which could influence children negatively. “I see no sense in watching something that will not influence me positively and my children will not be able to come and join me to watch. “Indecent scenes should be avoided so that when children switch on the television set on their own, they should not be welcomed with immoral acts, ” he said.

So, there’s an ongoing debate currently going on on Twitter, and we’ve brought it here for you to read, and tell us what you think.
It all started when a Nothern Twitter user insinuated that it was okay to marry a girl of 15 years. The twitter user Identified as user @dadiyata wrote; “If she can comfortably take some knacks as early as 15, I see nothing wrong in marrying her off at that age. Early marriage is better than early fornication”
Another Twitter user, @Mahammadgi agreed, writing; “Child marriage!!! Child marriage!!! they prefer we feed our daughters and sister with contraceptives and let them contaminate the air with fornication”
Another user, @itz_imaam shared the same sentiments, and wrote; “If only our neighbors will understand this and stop thinking marriage at young age is uncivilized”
Then another user, felt age 15 is quite old, but agreed for age 12. “Lets confront them first at that early 12 years, you will realize how mentally matured they are.”
Another user, Usman agreed, “This I agree.” See his post below;

The 2017 Miss Prestige Nigeria Diaspora, Blessing Eberechukwu Muokwe, was reportedly killed in a ghastly motor accident on January 22, 2018.
The 23-year-old beauty queen will be laid to rest in her hometown, Akwa Vilage, Ifitedunu in Dunukoffia Local Government Area of Anambra State on February 10th.
Late Ebere, was until her untimely death, a staff at the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN)
Her friends have since taken to social media to pay tributes to her…
Nigerian singer, Simi is not too pleased with Adekunle Gold’s new hairstyle.. and she’s dropped a comment on his photo to air out her thoughts.
Well, the two singers have made names for themselves in the Nigerian music industry and one thing we are yet to ascertain is if they are dating each other.
The duo over the years have been spotted together on many occasions and they have given their fans the impression that they are in love – They just seem to be into each other anytime they are seen together.
Well, to the main gist, the singers who’d over time denied being in a relationship, both made funny comments over Gold’s new haircut.
A Nigerian pastor Apostle Paul Umoru has narrated how a stranger turned into a python and swallowed his church member in a Keke Napep.
Read Below;
Beloved, on Sunday 4th Feb 2018 a member of our church, while returning home after service around after 1pm joined a kekenapep with her four children.
She handed over one of the children to a male passenger she met in the keke to help her carry due to lack of enough space.
Not long after, the stranger transformed to a large python and was swallowing this young boy right inside the keke in broad day light here in Bonny Island.
The head and part of the shoulders of the young boy had already gone into the mouth of the python. On noticing this frightening scene, the boy’s mother shouted JESUS!
This made the python to vomit the boy and disappeared leaving some teeth bruises on the boy’s body. The boy had fainted but was later revived and prayed over.
See picture below showing the teeth of the python on the boy.
The lesson here is to ensure you don’t handover your child or property to a total stranger. You may never know who you are dealing with.
May the Almighty God deliver us from satanic agents of darkness in the name of Jesus Christ!
