“We are not on our honeymoon yet” — Banky W

So, yesterday some beautiful pictures of Banky W and Adesua touring South Africa, visiting the Zoo were shared by the beautiful couple, and we all thought they were on their honeymoon.

Apparently, they aren’t, as Banky has finally addressed the questions from fans who think his getaway with his wife to Johannesburg is their honeymoon.

He also addressed questions from folks who think he is sharing too much information about his vacation with his wife, Adesua.

Recall, Banky took to his social media, 2 days back to share a live video of their experience at a resort in South Africa, and just as he panned his camera, Adesua could be seen in the background putting on her thongs.

Realizing this error, Banky quickly switched from her view, and then changed the camera view to the back, to capture the Zebras outside their window.

But before he could delete the video, folks have made screenshots, and also downloaded the video, with Adesua’s naked back shared all over social media. [Video Here]

Folks didn’t take it lightly with Banky, as they reminded him of the advise Omotola gave him, during their wedding, and they all felt he was sharing too much information.

Also yesterday, there were pictures and video of Banky, his wife, Ebuka and some of his friends, visiting a Zoo in SA.. Then, a fan quickly called his attention and asked why he took all his friends with him on what’s supposed to be a honeymoon.

A post shared by Banky W. (@bankywellington) on

“It isn’t a honeymoon,” he replied the curious fan. “It is a bridal trip. Honeymoon is January

“My name is Kule Remi and Not Adesua’s Ex” — Actor Kunle Remi

Actor, Kunle Remi has finally addressed reports making rounds, that he dated Banky W’s wife, Adesua Etomi a while back..

Read His statement below;

MY NAME IS KUNLE REMI and Not ADESUA’s Ex.

Silence,they say is Golden.

I have been silent, but some people have taken this as an invitation to take the piss!! I have chosen my words and thought this action through, so read carefully, yes, pay attention I will only say this once.

I am not a bitter person neither am I a sadist.

‘If’ you know me, (if you don’t, ask about me from those that do) you would know I am a very positive and I radiate good vibes only, I am not here for any form of negativity whatsoever.

My name has been used inappropriately, and it is time I set the record straight.

I intentionally waited till after the festive of the beautiful wedding ceremony had come to a natural halt out of respect for the couple.

I have not till this present day said to any blogger, or mentioned on any social media platform, or granted any interview admitting or confirming that I was ever in a relationship with the former Miss Adesua Etomi who as well all know tied the knot over the past weekend, neither do I recall her doing the same.

Yet some jobless people cooked up stories and sold it to other jobless people and then jobless readers and commentators believed it and hence the rumors started circulating with no proof other than pictures of us on a Movie set titled (FALLING. A great film by the way, It’s on Netflix if you haven’t seen it.).

Adesua and Kunle Remi in Uduak Isong’s Falling

Contrary to the opinion of people who feel theirs matters, I don’t have to congratulate the beautiful couple publicly to prove anything. Some of us would rather do our things privately. You CAN’T believe all you see on social media (some people will still not understand).

Take for example ; Recently I posted a picture of my Beautiful Nephew on my Instagram and as expected, rumors started again without any confirmation that I have a baby. (Quote me) I never confirmed to anyone that he is My Son. So there you go!!. Not all you see or read on social media is the gospel truth.

Kunle Remi

Having said that this is my advice to those this may concern; Just for your sanity try to be sure about the rumors and gist before you tongue lash people or judge people.

Sometimes Not every one is strong enough to handle it.

If you don’t know anything or if you are not sure, you don’t have to comment or curse people just SHUT UP. “If You don’t talk (in cases like this) you won’t die”.

BE SURE BEFORE YOU JUDGE ANYONE, OR BETTER STILL DON’T. THAT’S WHY GOD SAYS HE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN JUDGE US ALL.

Don’t Curse yourself.

Thank you for reading.

PS : Next Time you want to talk about me or refer to me. My Name is KUNLE REMI, the charming, charismatic , God Fearing, hardworking , Gentlemen but you can just call me THE ACTOR!!

Signed
MANAGEMENT.

Christianity in Nigeria is a Fraud- Bisi Alimi

Bisi Alimi

Nigerian gay rights activist, Bisi Alimi is has said that Christianity in Nigeria is a fraud because of the constant offerings and tithes.

He said:

“Because most of the time, the truth is the best gift you can give humanity. No don’t thank me, just be the change.”

The issue of offerings and tithe collection has been lingering on for a while now, with controversial OAP, Daddy Freeze as the anchorman .

Earlier today he shared an old video of Pastor asking for donations from members of his congregation.

The video was captured 3 years ago, at the 61st annual convention at the expansive Redemption Camp, along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.

ASUP Strike: Union suspends 15-day old nationwide strike

ASUP Strike

The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) has suspended its nationwide strike 15 days after the industrial action began.

ASUP Strike

Usman Duste, the National President of ASUP made the announcement today during the union’s 14th National Delegates Conference at the Abubakar Tatari Ali Polytechnic, Bauchi state. He said the decision to suspend the strike followed the series of meetings held between the leadership of the union and the Federal Government.

According to him, both parties agreed to a Memorandum of Settlement and Action (MoS) on each of the issues raised by the union. “The union considered the suspension to give an opportunity for implementation of the content of Memorandum of Settlement and Action, and shall be reviewed according to the timelines outlined in the MoS,” Duste said.

The decision to commence an indefinite strike was the outcome of the National Executive Council meeting of ASUP which held on November 11 at the Kaduna Polytechnic, Kaduna State. According to the union, the industrial action followed the failure of the Federal Government to implement all the agreements it entered with them since 2016. Some of the demands included non-implementation of the NEEDS Assessment Report and shortfalls in personnel releases and withdrawal of allowances.

Others were non-passage of the amended bill of the Polytechnic Act, alleged infractions in the appointment of rectors, as well as improving the conditions of state-owned institutions among other issues. The union had lamented that despite the long period given to the government to address some of the issues it had raised, government did not consider it necessary to address the demands for improved funding of polytechnic education in the country.

Dutse had also told reporters after the Council meeting that ASUP had given government sufficient time to implement all the agreements, saying they had no choice than to embark on an indefinite strike after the expiration of the 21-day ultimatum issued earlier.

“On October 24, a reconciliation meeting was convened by the Federal Ministry of Labour in Abuja. The ministry in the eye of the storm, the Federal Ministry of Education, was poorly represented that no memorandum of action was agreed on. “This clearly shows the level of disdain and disrespect with which the issues of the sector are being handled by the relevant agencies. In view of the above, our union resolved in its emergency meeting of NEC on October 31, 2017 to commence an indefinite and comprehensive strike effective from November 13, 2017,” he had said.

Why Oritsefemi’s wedding “outshone” Banky W’s wedding

Though most people might disagree with me on this, I strongly believe Oritsefemi should be given more credit than your favourite man, Banky W.

Photo Credit: HBPixels/BellaNaija

I know Banky W and his wife, Adesua stole all the attention because of the class, but Oritsefemi gave a good account of himself as well. We were just too ‘blindfolded’ to see the things he did.

While Banky W went to South Africa to hold his white wedding, Oritsefemi didn’t abandon our beloved country. He understood that Nigeria was good enough for his wedding. He would have done the same since he has the money, but he felt most people won’t be able to witness his special day if he had taken it outside the country.

Photo Credit: HBPixels/BellaNaija

In a recent interview, when he was asked why he chose to do have his wedding in Nigeria, he said, “People who are very familiar with me know I am a man of the people. Most of my fans and friends reside in Nigeria and I want them to be part of my special day.” Is that not nice? He had the interests of his people at heart and he made sure he didn’t disappoint them.

Despite the noise and the elaborate wedding Oritsefemi did, he must have spent a lesser money than Banky W. Though it was gathered that Banky W’s white wedding in South Africa was a sponsored one, there is no proof.

If one imagines how much they spent to put everything together, the money may be enough to pay workers of a state for a month or more.

Since he did his wedding in Nigeria, all that Oritsefemi used in putting things together were gathered here. In a way, he provided jobs for the pretty ushers, hardworking waiters, event planners and others that provided services at his wedding.

But I don’t think anyone in Nigeria benefited from Banky W’s wedding to Adesua in SA. When he thinks of the cost of taking service providers to South Africa, he would rather stick to hiring South Africans.

Banky’s Groomsmen.

Also, remember that Orisefemi’s wedding was not different from a carnival. He was ready to feed everyone in Lagos. If you think it is easy to feed the number of people Oritsefemi fed, you may want to replicate his wedding.

How on earth did he convince an educated lady to marry a street boy who already had two children from two different women? That is amazing, as we all know that educated women prefer educated men.

“My Bae has slapped me twice but my Ex has never beat me” – Bobrisky Reveals

Bobrisky Reveals

Nigerian transvestite, Bobrisky who has been revealing a lot about his mystery “bae” lately, has just revealed that his bae slaps and cages him.

The popular cross-dresser who revealed his bae is an over 50-year old top government official two days ago, has taken to his Snapchat to disclose that he has received ‘international’ slaps from his bae too unlike his ‘Ex’ who has never beat him.

Well, rumours are that the transvestite has never been to Paris just after he said he has received two international slaps from his bae, one in Dubai and another in Paris.

There is no record to show he has been to Dubai either. We all know he documents every second of his trip to the USA.

A few weeks back, he announced he would be visiting Paris and London for the first time in February 2018. He even said he would take his gate man,Jacob along with him.

Nigerian Army Rescues 212 Captives, Captures 1 BokoHaram Commander

Nigerian Army Rescues Captives

Troops on Tuesday rescued 212 persons held hostage by Boko Haram terrorists after they cleared remnants of insurgents from some villages in the northern fringes of the Sambisa forest.

They also captured one Boko Haram commander, “Ameer” of Chawa, Amman Judee and neutralized four terrorists, according to a statement by Brig.-Gen. Sani Usman, the Director of Army Public Relations.

Usman said the captured terrorists leader was undergoing interrogation, while the rescued persons were being documented and underaged children among them administered oral polio vaccines.

Earlier in the week, troops rescued 30 persons held hostage by the terrorists during clearance operations in eight villages at Bama Local Government Area of Borno.

For Being Childless, Late Taraba Lawmaker’s “widow” Evicted After His Death

Late Taraba Lawmaker's widow Evicted

The widow of late Taraba lawmaker, Abdulmumini Dame, Rukkayya has been ejected from her late husband’s house in Jalingo, Taraba State, weeks after the burial of her husband.

Late Taraba Lawmaker's widow Evicted

According to reports, Rukkayya who is still mourning her husband who was buried on October 26, was evicted from the apartment of her late husband by his relatives.

Mrs. Dame said she married the late lawmaker Islam 9 years ago though they had no child before his death. She alleged that her in-laws usually harassed her for not bearing a child and after her husband’s death, “she was threatened and bullied for bringing bad luck to the family.”

She said she was eventually thrown out of the house. “As you can see I’m in Takaba (for the 40 days mourning period) but they didn’t allow me to observe it in this house and kept insulting threatening me”, she said.

The embattled widow has since filed a suit seeking redress, her lawyer, Muhammad Rabiu, said. The late lawmaker’s brother, Dennis Dame, in his reaction, however, denied that there was a marriage between his brother and Mrs. Dame.

“He just ‘kept’ her but not as wife. She didn’t even allow us to observe this mourning period but dragged us to court unnecessarily. We too have filed our suit at the tate High Court, so the matter is before the court,” he said.

“You are not a leader, you are just a businessman trying to make money for yourself” – Harrysong Calls Out Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa (Video)

Harrysong Outs Delta State Governor

Nigerian singer, Harrysong has in a video shared on his Instagram page, called out the Delta state governor Ifeanyi Okowa for doing nothing about the increasing rate of communal clashes in the state, particularly the clash between the Ogbe Ijaws and Aladja people.

In the video, the record label owner accused the governor of not being a leader, adding that the Governor is a businessman who just wants to make money for himself and his family.

He wrote; “I woke this morning highly infuriated and troubled about how much Nigerian politicians have raped this country without a conscience. Even my state Governor, Sen. IFEANYI OKOWA is worse. Aladja and my community, Ogbe Ijaw have been killing themselves for years and OKOWA is rather playing a businessman than a father and a leader he is meant to be. Come 2019, we need leaders, not politicians.?”

Watch the Video:

Recall, at the recent Warri Mega Fiesta headlined by Harrysong, the Arabanko singer unleashed hot steam on his former label mate, alleging that he saved the Limpopo singer’s career when the latter (Kcee) split up with former team mate, Presh (of KCee and Presh).

He Sang on the Warri Stage ;

“Kcee tell me say I nor suppose to record o. I remind am say ‘you forget, when KC and Presh broke, you just dey forget o, this lonely Warri boy o na him you meet to help you o‘,”


“I fit no get mama. I fit no get papa. I fit no get brother. But I get talent o. A wicked talent o! You can take everything from me, you can never take my place. Favour is my name.”

This interesting update comes weeks after Kcee slammed Harrysong and former manager Soso Soberekon with a lawsuit, demanding for the enforcement of his ‘Fundamental rights’.

The drawn-out feud started in January after the Samankwe singer dumped Five Star Music and launched his own company.

Though they have attempted and failed at peaceful resolution, it is obvious that neither of them is ready to bury the hatchet, especially because Harrysong insists on being independent from Kcee’s company Five Star Music.

He said:

“I would have been a boxer. I used to be a boxer. I was doing well until I went for a championship in Delta State. The boy I fought with was an idiot; he gave me a beating I would never forget. That boy changed my face and made me hate anything that had to do with gloves.
After the fight, I looked in the mirror and I could not even recognize myself. I could see with only one eye for sometime due to the punches he dealt me. That was the incident that made me quit boxing.”

2018 Budget: FG To Sell National Theatre, TBS, Others To Finance Deficit

FG Sell National Theatre

As part of long-term plans to finance the 2018-2020 budgets, the National Arts Theatre, Iganmu and Tafawa Balewa Square in Lagos Island are to be sold by the Federal Government.

FG Sell National Theatre

Also to be sold are some selected power plants under the National Integrated Power Projects, NIPP.

The Federal Government is looking at the proposed sale of some of these national assets as means to generate sufficient funds to drive the 2018 to 2020 budgets.

Speaking in an interview with journalists after he appeared before the House of Representatives Joint Committees on 2018-2020 Medium Term Expenditure Framework /Fiscal Strategy Paper, MTEF/FSP, on Monday November 27th in Abuja, the Director General of Budget Office, Ben Akabueze said some government projects and policies in the 2018 budget would be financed from the expected revenue from sales of the key government assets as well as national parks.

FG Sell National Theatre

Akabueze added that some of the non-core assets from the mines and steel sector like houses and estates are also part of items to be sold by government for the purpose of financing the budgets.

According to the DG budget office, proceeds from the privatization of the assets would be used to finance the 2018 budget deficit of N2.005 trillion – much of which will be financed through domestic and foreign borrowings.

The country, he said, was generating too little revenue, hence it was expedient to borrow.

The Director General of Budget Office added that the reverse would be the case, if actually the assets were generating revenues.

“We are generating too little revenue, hence we are borrowing. If we generate enough, borrowing ratio will drop,” he said.

However, chairman of the joint committee, Babaginda Aliu, frowned at the absence of five Federal Government agencies he described as critical to the 2018 budget consideration and passage, which were invited to the session.

He noted that notwithstanding the late submission of the MTEF/ Fiscal Strategy Paper, the committee was committed to streamline its activities to pass the document and ensure the budget is passed in record time.

The Minister of State for Budget and Planning, Hajia Zaniab Ahmed, representative of the Governor of Central Bank, Adelabu R.A. and Executive Chairman, Federal Inland Revenue Services (FIRS) Dr. Tunde Fowler made presentations during the session.

Also present were the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Finance Alhaji Mohammed Isa Dutse, who represented the Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun; and the Comptroller-General of Customs Col Hameed Ali was represented by Deputy Comptroller General of Customs in charge of T&T, Alu S.R.

Daddy Freeze, Davido, Jude Okoye reacts to video of Pastor Adeboye asking for N1 Billion donation

Daddy Freeze shared an old video of Pastor asking for donations from members of his congregation.

The video was captured 3 years ago, at the 61st annual convention at the expansive Redemption Camp, along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.

Adeboye apparently, announced plans to build a new auditorium stretching three kilometres in length and breadth, he then appealed for donations for the new auditorium which would quadruple the church’s present auditorium which has an estimated capacity of about one million people.

Adeboye was quoted in the video saying;

“We need N1 billion from ten people. If you are one of them, please see my personal Secretary after we finish today,” Mr. Adeboye announced to the congregation.

“We also need N100 million from those who can afford it, if you are in that category. Please see my personal Secretary as well.

“Nonetheless, we need everyone’s involvement. If you can afford N50 million, N20 million, N5 million, N1 million to as low as N100, kindly make sure you participate.”

Daddy Freeze then shared the old video, and reacted to it thus;

“E ku ise Oluwa!

Billion Naira gang ?

Is the special announcement only for the billionaires? Did Jesus segregate the believers according to their spending power?

If I may ask, where did all the billions and hundred millions go to? Did it go into building free hospitals or free schools or factories where workers can work or was it just swallowed by ‘church expenses’ or was it geared towards building more churches, something we already have much more than enough?

When Moses realized that there was more than enough offering to finish the temple, he instructed the Israelites to STOP bringing their offering.. Are we ever going to finish temple building, or is this a perpetual process in Nigeria?

I hope this billion Naira offering was shared equally among all the believers as practiced by the disciples in Acts chapter 4? ~FRZ
#FreeTheSheeple

◄ Acts 4 ► [32] All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had. [33] With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all [34] that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales [35] and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need.

◄ Exodus 36 ►
New International Version
[3] And the people continued to bring freewill offerings morning after morning. [4] So all the skilled workers who were doing all the work on the sanctuary left what they were doing [5] and said to Moses, “The people are bringing more than enough for doing the work the Lord commanded to be done.” [6] Then Moses gave an order and they sent this word throughout the camp: “No man or woman is to make anything else as an offering for the sanctuary.” And so the people were restrained from bringing more, [7] because what they already had was more than enough to do all the
work.

Nigerian Man jails his parents after he came back from Italy to discover they’ve been sending him pictures of a fake house

An Nigerian Guy based in Italy, came back to the country, and locked up his parents, after he found out that the money he sent to them to build a house for him, could not be accounted for.

Facebook user, Nnamdi shared the story as thus;

“One of us just locked his parents up in police cell. His 65 year old father and 56 year old mother slept in police cell last night with an instruction that anyone who comes close to bail them should be locked up too.

I know what the parents did are wrong but I have been pleading with him since last week not to toe this path. There are many ways to solve issues like this.

If your parents do same to you, would you have done exactly what he did or you would have handled it differently? Hear him :

“Ben, I’m sorry I have to do what I did. You won’t understand how painful it is to be hustling here only to find out that my stupid and greedy parents were just wasting all my efforts on frivolities.

Like you already know, I have been in Italy doing all kinds of menial jobs just to put food on my table and make some savings. I have been here for six good years but I have never visited Nigeria.

I have been sending some cash to my parents to help me buy two plots of land and start building on it for all of us because we have suffered enough as a family, paying rent always.

Ben do you know that my foolish parents only bought one plot of land and nothing has been going on there apart from the initial foundation.? In fact they started the foundation recently when they knew I will be visiting Nigeria.

They have been sending me fake pictures of my house. Bro I’m mad. I don’t know what they used all the money for. They don’t know how I managed to make these savings. Omg I just wasted six years in Italy without anything to show for it. If I can’t trust my own parents, who then can I trust?

I will spend the remaining money I have with me on police to make sure they remained there until I go back to start a new hustle. Please Ben if you have a trusted lady in her late thirties who can build with me, kindly hook me up to her. I can’t trust these foolish parents of mine again.”

Uche Maduagwu blasts Banky W for exposing his wife’s “tiny” butt!

Unarguably, the most popular upcoming actor in Nollywood, Uche Maduagwu is still pissed at the fact that Banky W and Adeusa decided to go for a flamboyant wedding.

Recall he took to his Instagram to call out the couple for spending so much on a mere wedding.. He blasted the couple after the Lagos traditional wedding, wanting to know why a big wedding was needed for a good marriage. This had made people call him a hater especially since it was obvious no one invited him to the wedding.

“Is it too difficult for you to do a small wedding? @bankywellington Are you #wedding the whole of #Nigeria or just one #girl? Hmmm… My P.A just showed me an old #post of yours on #instagram where you said you would never do a #big wedding, and just yesterday, my Ex- #girlfriend also showed me a #video where @adesuaetomi said she would never do a big wedding too, so what really went wrong?

“Can’t you #guys emulate my best #friend @iambangalee when he had his wedding, am sure the whole #world did not hear about it, until after the whole ceremony, because he knows the #food you invite the entire village to come eat with you never last… listen, those people who are #dancing and praising you today, some of them are secretly waiting for your #marriage to break like the wall of Jericho so they can #laugh at you.

“I’m the biggest #actor in Nigeria, and am saying its not too late to taking your #relationship off social #media, a word is enough for the #wise. #repost #pic #bride #weddingday #blog #nollywood #share #beauty #lagos #smile #good,” Maduagwu wrote.

The white wedding which coincidentally had happened the same day with Oritsefemi’s wedding had not gone unnoticed for him and he was quick to applaud Oritsefemi while mocking Banky and his wife.

Now, following the mistake of Banky yesterday which exposed his wife’s naked butt to the world, the upcoming Uche had laughed the couple to scorn and also calling Adesua’s butt ‘Tiny’

In his words, he asked if the groom was now happy after exposing his wife’s tiny butt to the world.

Kate Henshaw reacts to Banky W, Adesua’s nude video

Veteran Nollywood actress, Kate Henshaw, has reacted to the controversial video “mistakenly” posted online by Banky W on his Snapchat and Instastory.

Apparently, it seemed as if it was a mistake carried out by Banky W as it wasn’t intentional to put his wife’s nudes before the public. [See The Video Here]

Henshaw has now subtly reacted to the reports, and warned that some things should be kept private. Thus she’s of the notion that Banky probably shared it intentionally…

She wrote: “It’s easy to get sucked into the whole social media whirlpool. But some things should be kept private.”
