Funke Akindele Bello!!
You have bellowed your name into the ears of Africa and now, woman’s international.
You know, things like this makes me generally emotional and mushy.
I mean, this is a stark case of grace, hard work and drive.
When I saw the news that you are making an appearance in an Avengers movie, I was elated. For a while, I tried to sink that in.
When you started the Jenifas diary, I had people who said that you are all about scattering good English and poisoning our generation with bad English.
I laughed because they were mostly people that voted for Buhari.
I mean, what else can come out from their brains except worm infested ideas and thoughts?
I am happy that you are a source of pride for we Nigerians.
You have done for us what Buhari and his gang haven’t done.
Putting us on the map for a good reason.
Wizkid and Davido have done theirs and are still doing theirs.
Great day to be a Nigerian!
Let’s keep working and ignore Buhari.

Another armed robbery and kidnap kingpin, who participated in the New Year attack in Omoku, Rivers State was on Thursday, been paraded at the Force Headquarters, Abuja.
The 32-year-old suspect, Desmond Okotubo, who is a father of three, hails from Egbenma in Unelga Local Government Area of Rivers State.
He told newsmen in Abuja that, “the arrest and humiliation of the mother of Don Waney, coupled with the destruction of Waney’s mansions was the main reason for the New Year attack in Omoku.”
He also revealed, “that the plan to invade Omoku was hatched in Owerri, Imo State,” adding that Omoku vigilante group members were their original targets and not church worshippers.
Okotubo further explained that their decision to vent their anger on the worshippers came when they could not track down the vigilante group members.
He said vigilante members were instrumental to the arrest of Don Waney’s mother and tracing of his mansions for destruction by government.

A young guy, identified as Bright Ugochukwu narrowly escaped death last December.
Ugo took to his Facebook page to share his testimony on how a stray bullet came from nowhere and hit him in his left chest very close to his heart in his bedroom, while he was asleep.
He wrote;
“Only fools says there is no God. Brethren, please follow me in thanking God for saving my life when the devil tries to snatch it away from me. As God has promised never to allow His children to be defeated.
The devil wanted to end my life before the year runs off in 2017 but as usual God is always there to fight and protect me.
Around 11pm on 15th December 2017 after some usual activities at the church, i lay down on my bed to sleep, suddenly a bullet pierced through the zinc and pvc and landed on my left chest close to the heart.
I hardly breathe at that moment, I just remain calm and continue to reassure my self that nothing will happen to me and my mother started calling out for all the saints in heaven to intervene on my behalf.
It seems they held an emergency meeting for my sake and started praying and pleading to God to save me. God didn’t forsake me at this time, he answered my prayer and all the prayers offered for my sake.
Chest X-ray revealed that the bullet didn’t touch the heart, no ribs were damaged and no fractures seen. I pray that He continue to heal and protect me and my family and also the people that have trust in Him. Glory be to God now and forever more …AMEN”
Former Super Eagles midfielder Wilson Oruma is now said to be in a status of mental disorder six years after he was reportedly defrauded by a clergyman.
Oruma was one of the Nigerian football stars who made millions in the round leather game, but he was reported to have been duped by a clergyman and some fake oil businessmen.
The 41-year-old midfielder who played alongside Austin Jay Jay Okocha and former Arsenal striker Kanu Nwankwo in the Super Eagles retired from football in 2010.
He was said to have invested a whopping sum of N1.2 billion without proper consultation after retiring from football and he consequently lost the investment.
His close friend Emakpor Dibofun has been reported to have told Complete Sports that the former Super Eagles star is yet to recover from the fortune he lost to fraudsters.
“Wilson Oruma hasn’t really recovered from the emotional disorder which he suffered after he was duped.
“He has been to several places in search of a lasting solution, but it gets worse after a bit of improvement.” he said.
The report also stated that many of Wilson Oruma’s former teammates at the Super Eagles have been contacted, and there are plans for his condition to be resuscitated.
Wilson Oruma starred for RC Lens, Nancy, Samsunspor, Nimes, Servette, Sochaux, Marseille and Guingamp, and Kavala FC of Greece before he retired at the age of 33 on November 26, 2010.
He also featured for Nigeria’s U-17, U-23 and the senior national team winning the FIFA U-17 World Cup in 1993, the Olympic gold in 1996 and two bronze medals at the African Cup of Nations in 2002 and 2006.
An Angry Nigerian dad took to his Facebook page, “Esv Jibrilla Madu Gadzama” to call out teachers in private schools and accused them of shifting the responsibility of teachers to parents, by way of giving them too much homeworks.
Below is what he wrote on Facebook;
FRAUD BY NIGERIAN PRIVATE SCHOOLS
HOMEWORK! HOMEWORK! AND MORE HOMEWORK FOR PARENTS.
It has become clear to many parents that the task of teaching their children has been shifted to them despite the huge fees they keep doling out to private schools.
Children come home with homework that requires over 6 hours to complete and the children are usually clueless about the topic. Clearly some of these topics were never introduced in class and the burden of breaking in the topic is shifted to the parents.
In some cases a topic is given a very brief introduction in class then a slew of tasks is bundled as assignments and becomes the parent’s responsibility to ground the child in the subject.
Nigerian parents remain docile. They know they are being shafted but continue to take it.
Some schools try to drive the narrative that all other kids are up to par and only yours is finding it difficult. Bull! The teachers are trained to sell you that line (the only training they seem to receive). This belief gives every parent a catch-up mentality. So you either enroll in their “extra lessons ” or you find yourself doing homework for your children everyday.
This phenomenon (fraud) was prevalent in China until parents got together and fought against it.
After paying exorbitant school fees, the schools pay peanuts to the teachers. Some private school teachers in
Nigeria consider themselves unemployed because their remuneration is so small!
They can’t be bothered to be dedicated. Besides many just simply are untrained.
The private schools have found a solution: transfer the teaching tasks to the parents!
Parents must individually reject this fraud!
Insist on only one assignment per subject per week. If the schools won’t comply then we must refuse to pay school fees this January!
Insist that teaching must be in the classroom! Not through ‘extra lessons ‘!
It is a big lie that every other child except yours is doing well! They only exploit your competitive spirit!
Enough is enough! Teach our children or we will not pay the school fees! If we are doing all the work we might as well enroll them in the LEA public schools!
Few days after killing notorious Don Wanny for the January 1st massacre in Omoku community in Rivers state, the Nigeria Police today paraded another kingpin, 32-year-old Desmond Okotubo, a Native of Egbenma from Unelga LGA Rivers State who identified as one of the murderers.

A Nigerian-based Cameroonian Artiste, @its_cameey has reacted to Huddah Monroe’s thought about Nigerians.
Recall Huddah earlier this morning, urged other Africans not to listen to Nigerian Music. In her rants, she wrote;
“Nigerians don’t even listen and support other African artists music unless it’s collaboration which artists from other countries pay so much for them to be in their songs. We the rest of AFRICA we should just boycott. Be your brothers keeper.”
In response to her, he wrote: “As a Cameroonian who’s lived in Nigeria for quite a while I can confidently tell you one thing about Nigerians and that is the fact that if a Nigerian likes or dislikes something you would definitely know. Nigerians don’t mince words with you, they confidently tell it how they see it and that’s one unique quality about them I admire deeply.”
“Nigerians no send if your papa na Obama. Also the will to survive against all odds is deeply engrained in their DNA and this accounts for their global successes cuz Nigerians NEVER EVER GIVE UP!! I have received immense love and support from Nigerians following the release of my single last year, regardless of my nationality, so you’re very wrong about them Huddah Monroe. You’d definitely love Nigerians if you “Come Closer” *in wizzy’s voice. Spread love. #OneAfrica.”

Cell phones have long surpassed being just a device to make calls and receive messages. Our dependency on its numerous features has got us enslaved.
Today, almost all of us can’t survive without our indispensable communication gadget. And it has gone a step further, whether single or not, mobile phones have becoming a sleeping companion to people globally. There’s hardly any of us who goes to bed without it.
Despite health warnings of radiation, we still keep it next to our faces near the pillow or at the most, within an arm’s reach on the bed side table. Well, it’s time to change all of that…
Health warnings
Recently, the California Department of Health warned that the public need to keep their mobile phones several feet away from them to reduce health risks and radiation exposure. The state released guidance for reducing exposure to cell phone radiation, surrounded by mounting evidence that mobile use may be linked to cancer, attention, mental health and reproductive health issues. Using low frequency radio signals to transmit information, cell phones put us at risk of unhealthy radiation, especially when streaming or downloading large files.
Though research has not definitively proven cell phone radiation is dangerous, there have been enough studies linking the two to exercise caution, especially for children.
The California statewide notice issued warnings that citizens should make some distance between their mobiles and their bodies. The radio frequency (RF) energy cell phones use to transmit information are at the bottom of the radiation totem poll, but research suggests that our frequent, close-range exposure to cell phones may be enough to endanger us.
“Keeping a phone directly on the body has never been a good idea,” says Dr Devra Davis of the Environmental Health Trust. In fact, cell phone makers themselves seem to agree. Apple, for example, includes an ‘RF exposure’ notice in the iPhone’s settings.
Health studies have shown evidence that mobile phone exposure may cause tumours in the brain or ears, where the body is frequently in contact with the gadget. Though research on RF’s effects on children specifically is fairly limited, many psychologists have already warned that cell phone use may be linked to poorer attention, mental health and sleep for adolescents.
International studies “have shown that men who keep their phone in their pockets the longest have lowest sperm count, with most damage,” says Dr Davis. “Many people who keep their phones in their pockets for hours a day, especially in the summer with thinner exposures will be far greater,” she adds.
Contemporary cell phone signals use “the weakest signals, but strength of the signals is not an issue when comes to biological effect. It’s not the power, it’s the irregular nature of signal,” says Davis.
An expert, Dr Ramakant Deshpande, oncologist, Asian Cancer Institute, says, “Ionisation can impact children; studies have shown it’s effects on the central nervous system is higher. Children have greater exposure to cellphones and this needs to be reduced to avoid any long term health hazards.”
Radiation from cellphones have the potential to cause cancer; there has been an increase in benign tumours but not all cancers. Cellphones are very useful in daily life and it is not possible to completely stay away from them. It is suggested that a balance should be maintained and cellphones have to be used with care and precaution, cautions Dr Deshpande.
Reproductive health
Dr Bandita Sinha, gynaecologist and infertility specialist, World of Women clinic, says that cell phone radiation can be harmful and will affect fertility, although there are no studies that prove the statistics of this radiation and its impact. However, it is advisable to keep cell phones several feet away from one’s body.
If cell phones are kept closer to one’s body for a longer period, it can have harmful effects. As radiation affects brain and can also lead to hormonal imbalance, it also a it also affects the menstrual cycle. Using cell phones for a longer period of time can impact sleep, long term sleep disturbances cause menstrual irregularities. Using a laptop on the lap regularly will lower sperm count, warns Dr Sinha.
What to do?
Dr Deshpande recommends keeping cell phones away during bedtime and it should be switched off.
Reducing the cell phone exposure time is better especially for children, putting in air plane more may not necessarily be helpful.

American Female Rapper of the moment , Cardi B, has revealed that she will offload her fiance, Offset , when she feels like and at her own time.
This is coming as Her fans have been pressuring her to dump her fiance, Offset, after he was caught a few times cheating on her.

The Presidency on Wednesday said it was unfair for people to blame Fulani herdsmen killings on president Buhari as over 756 people were killed by herdsmen in two years under former President Goodluck Jonathan.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, said in a video he posted on his Facebook page;
“Something that is disturbing that I have heard about it is linking those developments to the fact that a Fulani man is President and so, he is brooking such kind of evil acts.
“I think that is very unkind. And I will try to back my position with statistics.
“In 2013, particularly, there were nine cases of herdsmen invading communities in Benue state alone and more than 190 people were killed.
“In 2014, there were about 16 of such tragic developments with more than 231 people killed. And then there was a change of government in May 2015.
“But between January and May 2015, there were six attacks which left about 335 people dead.
“Now, the question is, during that period, did we have a Fulani president?”
Therefore, let nobody say that all this is happening because we have a Fulani president.We have had many Fulani presidents in the past and this issue of herders and local communities at loggerheads has predated this government.
“But I will just like to appeal to Nigerians that the Muhammadu Buhari government is determined to crack this issue, is determined to get to the bottom of it and it will get done,” he added.
It was a tragic start to New Year for migrants from Nigeria and other countries as hundreds of them crossing to Italy and Spain were feared dead in the Mediterranean Sea, the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) has said.
IOM’s Public Information Officer in Libya, Christine Petré, reported that the boats carrying the migrants departed from the coastal towns of Azzawiyah and Al Khums in Libya.
“Most of the survivors hail from African countries, including Senegal, Mali and Nigeria. The Libyan Cost Guard reported that eight were from Bangladesh while two were from Pakistan,” Petré said.
According to IOM, and a report released by Libya’s Coast Guard, about 100 people on board remain missing.
The UN migration agency said its officials were present at the disembarkation point in Tripoli and provided the survivors with food and water.
Othman Belbeisi, Chief of IOM Libya Mission, said on Wednesday that about 200 migrants or refugees had died or gone missing in the Mediterranean Sea with up to 100 unaccounted for since Saturday.
“It’s very distressing that during the first 10 days of 2018 we have seen close to 800 migrants rescued or intercepted off the Libyan coast, with more lives lost at sea.
“More has to be done to reduce irregular unsafe movements of people along the Central Mediterranean route,” Belbeisi said.
According to him, the tragedy came at a time when Mediterranean migrants’ death dropped sharply as IOM recorded only 26 on the Mediterranean Sea lanes in December 2017.
Belbeisi said while January 2017 had witnessed some 254 deaths, this week’s reports suggest that the start of 2018 may be even deadlier.
IOM reported on Tuesday that 81 Mediterranean Sea deaths of migrants or refugees were recorded in the first eight days of the year with five in Western Mediterranean waters off Spain and Morocco and the rest between Italy and Libya.
In the latest, and third deadliest, shipwreck in the Mediterranean since Saturday, the Libyan Coast Guard rescued three rubber boats with 279 migrants made up of 19 women, 243 men, 13 boys and four girls, in an operation lasting at least 12 hours.
The UN migration agency said it continued to provide support and direct humanitarian assistance to the survivors of this latest tragedy, many of whom now are at Libya’s Tajoura detention centre.
Police in Uganda arrested a 24-year-old woman after she stabbed her husband to death because he refused to make love with her.
Harriet Nambi, who hails from Nakiyanhja,Kaliro Town council stabbed Musa Batera 25, for refusing to have sex with her ever since she gave birth two months ago through cesarean.
Until his death, Batera who was married to 3 wives was the chairman of Kaliro district Boda Boda Association, while Nambi is a primary school teacher at Kaliro Town.
Hasifa Babirye, a neighbor said the couple developed some quarrels some 3 days ago where Nambi accused Batera of repeatedly refusing to sleep with her.
“She told me that her husband was denying her sex yet she needed it. I asked her to wait since she had just been operated upon but she was obsessed,” Babirye told police.
“I tried to ask her to give it time but she said she was going to harm him and when the husband returned, she stabbed him.” she added.
According to residents, Nambi lured the deceased to their rented house and as soon as he entered, she started quarrelling which developed into a fight.
Kaliro District police boss, Joseph Kihamba, who confirmed the incident, said the suspect has been arrested and is to be charged with murder.
The police boss advised couples to settle their differences with family members and relevant authorities.

An Entirely New Life! *Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17).* The term “born again” isn’t a religious cliché, which connotes turning over a new leaf. When you ask some Christians how they know they’re born again, some would reply, “I know I’m born again, because the bad things I used to do, I do them no more. I’ve changed my ways, and now, I behave differently.” Being born again is much more than that. What you receive when you’re born again is an entirely new life. There’s no such thing as “The bad things I used to do, I do them no more,” because the person who did those things is dead. He doesn’t exist anymore.
When you received Christ into your life, something actually happened: your spirit was recreated. You were born of the Word of God and of the Spirit of God. You now have the life, nature and character of God. And when a man has the life, nature and character of God, he can only live like God. So, being born again is actually receiving the God-nature; becoming an associate of the God-kind.
Romans 6:6 says, “Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.” Your old life or nature isn’t suspended; it’s dead; you’ve come up a new man; a new species of being; one that never existed before; one without a past. In the presence of God, everything you were before you were born again, and everything you did before you were born again has no record. This isn’t a promise. This is a statement of fact in the Word.
If you’re ignorant of this, you could be struggling with your past or with the sins you committed before you were born again. This, invariably, could make you ineffective in the things of God. No; you’re not a sinner. You’re the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, because you’re born again (2 Corinthians 5:21). Walk in the consciousness of your righteousness, and new life in Christ: “Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even

AFP Fact Check traced the claim to a ranking of the world’s richest pastors published by online lifestyle magazine Richest Lifestyle. Although the website is no longer accessible, a version is still available on the online archiving platform Wayback Machine.
In 2014, Richest Lifestyle published a list of the “top 10 richest pastors in the world”, saying its ranking was based on information provided by the Celebrity Net Worth website and Forbes.
That article linked to this 2011 Forbes story about five of Nigeria’s richest pastors. The Forbes journalist said the list was based on “conservative estimates of their fortunes” following an investigation of the “assets of some of Nigeria’s most prominent pastors”.
Importantly, Forbes does not list the world’s richest pastors or compare the Nigerian preachers with their colleagues globally.
Forbes spokeswoman Laura Brusca told AFP Fact Check that the only ranking on its website to do with Nigerian pastors was the one from 2011. “We looked into this further. The only list on Forbes.com with this information is from 2011,” said Brusca.
Forbes Africa managing editor Renuka Methil confirmed the website had not updated the list since then.

A 29-year-old woman, Salome Kanini died yesterday at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) after being set on fire by her estranged husband at their matrimonial home in Ongata Rongai, Kajiado County, Kenya.
She suffered over 60 per cent burns after her estranged husband poured petrol on her and set her ablaze last Thursday, January 4th. Her younger brother is nursing deep cut wounds on his left hand following a struggle to save her.
Salome’s brother, John Njenga said his sister’s estranged husband called her with instructions to come and fetch their son’s school uniform as he was joining nursery, but when she got home the man poured petrol and burnt her.
The two, Njenga explained, had already separated in September last year and his sister had returned to live with his parents in Kiserian together with their two children. They had been married for five years.
Salome asked her brother to accompany her that evening to pick the school items. But as soon as they arrived, the man, who police have identified as Stanley Nduati, a matatu driver pulled her in the house and locked out the brother.
The man, then started issuing threats that he was going to kill her and then take his own life as neighbours watched. That was when Njenga tried force his way into the house.
“I felt sharp pains on my hand then I realized he was stabbing me with a kitchen knife. I told him no matter how many times he stabbed I was not letting go,” said Njenga.
It was at this time that he got out his phone and called his mother to inform her of the incident.
A neighbour offered a sledge hammer that was used to break the window but by that time her sister was already on fire.
“We watched as he picked gallon of petrol, poured on her, lit the matchstick, and turned on the gas cylinder. By the time a neighbour offered her a blanket, all her clothes were burnt. It was hard to recognize her,” he said.
The husband later stormed out brandishing a knife threatening to kill anyone who dared approach him before he jumped off the balcony from his house on the first floor and vanished on foot.
The family admits that the two have been having issues in their marriage.
The man was later arrested that night when he tried to sneak back to the house to collect some of his belongings. He is currently being held at the Ongata Rongai police station.
Her friends have now taken to Facebook to mourn her.

Unmi Fatima Bolori, the estranged wife of Mohammad Aminu Atiku, who is the son of former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has revealed how her ex-husband fled with one of their children despite the court ruling.
Yesterday, Chief Magistrate K.B Ayeye sitting in the Tinubu area of Lagos granted Fatima full custody of their children, Amirah, 8, and Aminu Atiku, 6, after years of legal tussle.
Unmi Fatima and Aminu Atiku, who got married in 2007, went their separate ways after their union was dissolved by a Sharia Court in Maiduguri in 2011.
LIB reported that Umni disclosed that her ex-husband snatched their son from her after the court ruling and threatened not to bring back the child.
‘After the court ruling, my two children were saying goodbye to their dad, before I knew it he and his lawyers forced my son into his car.
‘When I confronted his lawyers, they said he only wanted to spend a night with our son and will bring him the next morning.
‘When I eventually put a call through to him, to ask him when I should come to get my son since I was about to buy our tickets, he asked me if I didn’t hear from my lawyers, that I should call my lawyers because he’s not bringing back my son.’
In October 2017, Aminu was remanded in the transit cell for disobeying a court order.
Magistrate Ayeye found Atiku’s son guilty for contempt of the court order made on October 11 and ordered that he should be remanded at the transit cell after he failed to produce his son in court.
