Controversial ON-air personality, Daddy Freeze, over a couple of weeks had called on top men of God such as Pastor Enoch Adeboye of RCCG, Bishop David Oyedepo of Living Faith as well as other Nigerian ministers to prove where God asked people to pay tithes.
It seems that one of them has spoken his mind as the outspoken OAP took to social media to praise Prophet T.B Joshua of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, SCOAN, over his message on tithing.
In a video shared on his Instagram page, T.B Joshua during a sermon said giving tithe to the poor is better than bringing it to the church.
According to the prophet, bringing tithe to church is a burden and temptation for pastors because they might not be able to remit all.
Freeze captioned the video, as he wrote;
“On this tithe issue, Pastor TB Joshua has spoken the biblical truth “And I respect him for standing firmly behind the truth, despite what his counterparts are saying. Free the Sheeple.”
Atiku Abubakar has formally joined the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, more than a week after he dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress.
The former vice-president made the announcement on Facebook within the last hour.
He said the complaints he had with the PDP, under which he was vice-president from 1999-2007, had been resolved, laying the groundwork for his return.
Mr. Abubakar is expected to contest the 2019 presidential election.
Below is a statement from Atiku’s media office announcing the development.
After consultations, Atiku joins PDP
Abuja, Nigeria, 03 November, 2017: Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has announced his return to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The announcement on Sunday on Facebook Live followed consultations the former Vice President hadwith party leaders and stakeholders from across the country.
Please find below transcript of the announcement. Also attached are pictures from the announcement.
“Hello, my name is Atiku Abubakar.
I am speaking to you today on Facebook Live as I want to reach as many of our young people as possible as I have an important announcement to make about the future of Nigeria.
As it is you, our youths, who represent the future of our nation.
I have found in my travels across the country that whenever I get into conversationswith young people their number one concern is whether they will be able to get a job for without a job they have no means of sustaining themselves or begin a family.
And without the security of a job we cannot have security in our country.
So without jobs there is no future for you or for Nigeria.
And I also know as a parent that the older generation is also concerned about jobs for their children and, too often today, for themselves as well.
Creating jobs is something I know about as I have created over 50,000 direct jobs and 250,000 indirectjobs in my own State of Adamawa.
And I also know how the Government can help create the right environment for businesses to create jobs. When I was Vice President in 1999 I was responsible for liberalising the telecomms sector which enabled us to increase the number of people who could access a phone from less than 1 million then to over 100 million today.
This transformation resulted in the creation of hundreds of thousands of new jobs from the top-up card vendors you see on every street corner to the many new businesses that fed off the mobile phone revolution.
Some of you may know that I was elected Vice President under the banner of the PDP, which is the political party I had helped to found some ten years before.
And some of you may also know that I left the PDP four years ago when I believed it was no longer aligned to the principles of equity, democracy and social justice upon which we had founded it.
I joined the APC as I had hoped it would be the new force that would help improve life for our people and I was excited about the party’s manifesto to create 3 million new jobs a year.
The result has not been the change people had been promised or voted for, as in the last two years almost 3 million Nigerians have lost their jobs.
And today with a record 25% of people aged 18-25 unemployed I can see how difficult it is for our youths to find a job.
The key to creating jobs is a strong economy and that is what we are currently lacking.
So today I want to let you know that I am returning home to the PDP as the issues that led me to leave it have now been resolved and it is clear that the APC has let the Nigerian people, and especially our young people, down.
But rather than giving a long political speech on this matter I thought it would be more helpful to invite you to ask me questions and share with you my answers. You can post your questions on my Facebook page:facebook.com.atiku.org
I see we have a question from Jide
Sir, how can you know what young people want when you are not a youth?
I meet young people every day. I have children and grandchildren and most of my employees are youths.
The key to knowing what young people want is to listen to them. I’m good at that. Sometimes when I am on the phone with my kids they ask me are you still there, because I just listen to them without interrupting.
Young people are on social media and so I go there. They tell me that their number one challenge is jobs.
Terrorism, militancy, kidnapping, and other forms of exuberance they may lead to criminality are a symptom of the disease of joblessness.
Once you can get Nigeria working again and get Nigerians working again, youth restiveness will ease and gradually disappear.
This question is from Babangida
You have so many businesses and you employ thousands of Nigerians. Would you be able to focus on political leadership when you have such a large business empire?
Well Babangida, you see, leadership must be separated from management. I lead my businesses. I do not manage them. I have qualified managers managing them including some in their early 20s.
As a leader, you provide direction and then you bring in skilled people and inspire them to implement your roadmap to getting to the destination of your direction.
So in answer to your question, I am more into leadership and this gives me the clarity I need to take in the larger picture.
My next question is from Ikechi
The minister of information recently said the PDP will never regain power. Why go back to a party that will never regain power?
Nobody knows the future other than God and to dictate what the future will be is not within man’s purview.
But it is about Nigeria not about power. Power for powers own sake breeds arrogance and arrogance makes men say things like that.
All I am saying is that we need a party that speaks to national sentiments not regional ones. We need a party that can make all Nigerians one till we can boldly say that we are all brothers and sisters with only one motherNigeria.
A question from Favour
Sir what are your views on the #EndSARS movement?
We cannot be outraged that Nigerians and other African migrants are being mistreated in Libya and then we go ahead and mistreat our people back home. I am very abreast with the #EndSARS issue because my young followers on Social Media keep me very much in the loop.
Whether it is how SARS treats Nigerians or how we treat each other, we are sending a message to the outside world. We can’t expect foreigners to treat our people better than we treat them.
We must set the minimum standard required for the treatment of Nigerians worldwide by the way we treat our people domestically. Our charity must begin at home.
On this issue, I call on the Inspector General of Police as a concerned Nigerian to intervene, and I know that the Nigerian Police as a disciplined and well organized force will take action to address this issue. It will go a long way to improving Nigeria’s rating in the global ranking of Police Forces next year because this year, they were wrongfully ranked as the worst.
Thank you to everyone who asked me a question and I am sorry that time does not permit me to answer each one. I will be travelling the country in the coming months and will be listening to the concerns of our people in every region.
I came from a humble background and thank God for the opportunities that Nigeria has given me to build a network of successful businesses.
I am dedicated to a Nigeria where everyone lives in a country of opportunity where there are no limits to what they can become.
Joro shared a yet shocking story of a bride-to-be who is currently in a dilemma and needs advise from matured minds.
She revealed her fiance is from a rich family, and she has gotten gifts from his family… But the problem is he has slept with 3 of her bridesmaids.. Read her story below:
“This is concise as I’m too distraught to type. I’m meant to get married soon. My fiancee is from a rich family. His fam bought me a car, land amongst other things for wedding gift.”
“As at today I have millions in my account from wedding money as gift. He was dreamy to me. My all. But I’m in a quandary now. I don’t know if I should go ahead with the wedding. My family thinks I should. I realize people change when they see money.”
“I realize people change when they see money. My family doesn’t care about the cheating because they know I’ll be financially secure. Cutting the story short.”
“I found out my fiancee has slept with 3 of my friends on my bridal train. I saw this in a text he was sending to his friends and bragging. I’m so ripped apart. I can’t eat or sleep.”
“I confronted him and I said I needed time to rethink. He has been crying. I love my girls but I’m not mad at them. Is it weird I’m mad at him alone. He sleep with them all while we were dating. Please public opinion matters.”
The Nigeria Police Force have dismissed allegations of torture and crimes levelled against the the special anti-robbery squad (SARS).
SARS was established by the Nigeria police to fight violent crimes.
On Saturday, Nigerians took to the social media to condemn the “careless” regard for human lives which they say is evident in operations of SARS operatives.
While calling for the proscription of the squad, they accused SARS of maltreating and torturing innocent citizens at will.
But the police said such accusations should be dismissed by Nigerians.
Speaking to TheCable on Sunday, Jimoh Moshood, police spokesman, said SARS has lived up to its duty of curbing violent crimes and so, calls for its proscription should be “totally condemned”.
“As we speak, SARS is doing fantastically well across the country in reducing incidents of robbery to the barest minimum… they are doing very, very well,” Moshood said.
“There has not been any specific violation of human rights against any SARS personnel. So anybody that is spreading such a rumour is not doing the nation any good.
“SARS has no excesses and when there is any, we do investigate.
“The call for SARS to be scrapped should be condemned by all well-meaning Nigerians. Anybody calling for their proscription is not doing the nation any good and such people should be suspected as having something to hide.”
Moshood urged Nigerians with complaints against any police officer – “whether SARS or any other personnel” – to channel their complaints through established channels.
“Accessibility (to the police in cases of complaints) is very possible, he said, adding: “We do not take any infraction or violation of human right of any Nigerian likely. You know that so many police officers have been dismissed and even charged to court.”
“So, Nigerians should not give in to insinuations from people that just come to the social media and start spreading falsehood. Such people spreading such information may likely be armed robbers themselves.
“There is laid down rules for police procedures and any police officer that go beyond boundary to do something outrageous which is against the law is apprehended.”
Comrade Solomon Okoduwa, a member of the Edo States Task Force on Libya Returnees says the State has the highest number of Nigerians who are being repatriated from Libya, with indigenes of the state consisting about 70 per cent of the returnees. He said the victims were subjected to dehumanising experience by their captors.
He also disclosed that about 560 Nigerians are expected to be repatriated into the country from Libya this week, while some of the female victims, who were recently evacuated from Libya, are said to be pregnant after being raped by their captors while in detention in Libya.
According to him, the expected Libya returnees consist of two groups of about 280 people each. He gave the expected date for the arrival of the Nigerians as Tuesday, December 5, 2017.
He stated that about 780 Libya returnees, who were indigenes of Edo State, had been brought to the state upon their arrival at the Murtala Muhammed Airport in Lagos. He said that the state government was solely responsible for the rehabilitation and training of the Libya returnees, calling on local and international organisation to assist the government in rehabilitating the Libya returnees.
He said: “Apart from taking care of the returnees from the moment they land in Lagos, Edo State government pays children returnees N10,000; adults get N20, 000, while pregnant women get N25,000 each within the first three months of their arrival. “We also provide accommodation, medicare, training and other important needs while they are with us.”
During today’s service at the International Headquarters, the General Overseer of Mountain of Fire and Ministries, Dr. DK Olukoya, said “Tithing is not compulsory”, as it’s purely a personal relationship between the giver and God.
“There is nowhere in the Bible where it is written that tithing and giving offering is compulsory. But if you want to trust God with your finances you should even strive to do more than the tithe.”
He also said real Christians sees everything they own as Gods and those with faith have gone beyond giving 10%…..By doing so you God may bless you even more and this way you are sowing seed for future prosperity.
So, Manchester United defeated Arsenal in a Premier League fixture that went down at the Emirates Stadium.
The High point of the match was the pressure Arsenal put in the Red devils, after the goal score was 2 nil, in favor of Manchester United.
Personally, the game would have ended 6 goals to 2, in Favor of Arsenal, but all thanks to David De Gea who put a stop to most attack from the opposition. Most notably there was a mind-boggling double-save 11 minutes into the second half, De Gea plunging with whip-crack speed to get a hand to Alexandre Lacazette’s low shot, then leaping up to deflect Alexis Sánchez’s follow-up over the bar.
With De Gea’s fantastic performance, he was hailed as unarguably the Best Goalie in the World, with folks on Social Media, Nigerians included praising the Man United Goalie..
However a Social media usually, cracked a joke at Triple MG’s Ubi Frankling.. The user on Twitter said, “David De Gea would have saved Ubi Franklin’s marriage”.
..and a rather pained Ubi responded with; “You are very stupid”
Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has reacted to the #EndSars campaign thread on Twitter.
The former Vice President said that the Everyday, we encourage our young people to become entrepreneurs. Buying a laptop to earn a living shouldn’t attract harassment.
He tweeted:
“The arbitrary harassment of young Nigerians by Police (who should be protecting them) has no place in a democratic society.
The #EndSARS protest shows Nigerian youth are upset and the matter needs urgent attention.
Everyday, we encourage our young people to become entrepreneurs. Buying a laptop to earn a living shouldn’t attract harassment.
I commend our young people for protesting these injustices peacefully online, and encourage the IG of @PoliceNG to take these complaints seriously.
I also urge the National Assembly to look into these complaints, and address the human rights issues. Reforms are urgently needed.”
The arbitrary harassment of young Nigerians by Police (who should be protecting them) has no place in a democratic society.
The #EndSARS protest shows Nigerian youth are upset and the matter needs urgent attention.
The General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has spoken again on the tithe issue sparked by OAP, Daddy Freeze.
According to Pastor Adeboye, God himself convinced him that tithing was right for Christians.
However, the cleric, on Sunday, 3rd December, 2017 edition of his Daily Devotional, titled: “Open Heavens”, said the command to pay tithes on one’s earnings simply places a demand on the Christian to trust God.
Writing on the topic, ‘Tithing Is Trusting’, Adeboye said:
“To experience exploits in your life, you must have a personal relationship with God. You must believe that He lives and love Him with all your heart. You must also learn to trust in Him.
“The command to pay tithes on your earnings simply places a demand on you to trust God. Your response to this command shows the level of trust you have in Him.
“If you can pay your tithes correctly, it shows that you trust God for your livelihood, but if you find it difficult to be faithful in doing this, it simply shows that you trust more in your earning than in God to sustain you.
“After I became newly born again and we were taught to pay tithes, I laughed and said in my mind, ‘These people do not know that I am a mathematician. If 100% is not enough for me, how can 90% be enough after I have paid 10% as tithe? Thank you very much! Even though these people are not educated, they still want to use their smartness to take 10% of my income from me. Let them try and take it’.
“However, down the line, God convinced me by Himself and I observed remarkable changes in my life.”
A Facebook User, is lamenting on the platform, after his last girlfriend, refused him from seeing her parents, because of “how he looks”.
According to him, he used to believe that people have “special someone” meant for them but not anymore this days after suffering from this painful heartbreak.
Below is what he shared on Facebook;
I used to believe that we all have that special someone but not anymore this days. The last girl I dated when it got time to see her people she refused that she cannot cause of obvious reasons.. of how I look so why would one believe someone praying for you. Where the world see you as strange. No matter how hard you try to take care of yourself and look good…
Some online users have reacted to the young man’s Facebook lament.
After it was reported that Wizkid’s manager, Sunday Are, allegedly assaulted Augustine Miles Kelechi, aka Tekno Miles, for being rude to him at the One Africa Music Festival in Dubai, people expected Tekno or his management to take legal actions or fight back.
Tekno and Ubi Franklin.
It was first reported that a fight broke out between Wizkid and Davido. Davido, in a post on social media later, made it known that Tekno was also involved. There, he gave his word that he would not allow anyone hit Tekno again.
Tekno’s manager, Ubi Franklin, who was reported to have stopped Tekno’s boys from attacking Are, told Sunday Scoop, “I was there. Tekno had an issue with Sunday Are and the atmosphere became really tense.
“The truth is I don’t want to talk about it because we have settled it amicably and we have all moved on. It is a ‘dead’ issue. I don’t want to make it sound like I am the one trying to bring it up again. You know my responsibility is to chase after money.”
Wzkid and Sunday Are.
According to him, it is normal for artistes to fight each other, but they will always settle it in the long run.
“If they want to fight, they should fight. When they are done fighting, we will still come together and make money. My work is to make money even while they are fighting,” he added.
Tekno.
Speaking on why Tekno didn’t win an award at this year’s AFRIMA, he said, “I respect AFRIMA a lot and I have found out that AFRIMA is basically about voting. It is possible that we didn’t ask people to vote at our end.
“You know in Nigeria, a lot of people don’t like to vote for awards; they don’t like to canvass for votes. I think musicians, who canvassed for votes, were the ones who won. It doesn’t mean that those who won are better than the artistes who didn’t win.”
We understand Nigerians are creative bunch! Reason we’re tagged the “Giant of Africa”…
Not sure if we should call this creativity or outright confusion! Some set of Ladies, two friends actually, felt the need to model, take pictures in nothing but towels.
The end result of course is beautiful, but many tag them as just “Slay Queens Wannabe”.
An Igbo woman who now wants to be indentified as Aishat Obi, recently converted from Christianity to Islam, now she’s shared the photos of one of the people who attracted her to the Islam religion. Aishat Obi is the one on Pink Hijab.
According to Aishat, the lady Faddylado Sama, reportedly has a good character and has been labelled her twin sister.
After her conversion, Aishat revealed that she is proud to be an Igbo Muslim despite heavy backlash which might be associated with that.
Below is what Aishat wrote after sharing some photos on Facebook;
“This is my twins sister from another womb.she is more than a sister to me.she is among the people whom there character attracted me more to Islamic religion.I pray to have a friend like her in my nest life. Ya Allah give me the type of character that will change others too.

On Thursday, November 30, 2017, 153 Nigerian migrants, including men, women, and children returned from Libya aboard a Libyan chartered flight at about 9:15pm, just two days after 239 Nigerian were returned following the ongoing slave trade crisis.
Out of the 153 Nigerian migrants who returned on Thursday, a few of them narrated the challenges they encountered before getting to Libya and horrific experiences they suffered at the hands of their abductors.
Speaking with Saturday Punch, 20-year-old Clement Chibuzor, a Delta State indigene, was working as a Plaster of Paris artisan when his father met a trafficker, who told him he could help his son to Europe.
According to him, he had worked for eight months and was able to save up little money, but his father told him not to worry and sold his land to help him out.
“I never thought about going to Europe. My father was the one who brought the idea. He sold his land and raised N450,000 which he gave to my ‘burger’ (trafficker). He did not tell my mother until I was already in Libya,” Chibuzor said.
The young who spent 18 months in Libya, continued: “After many of my co-travellers died in the desert, I was kidnapped as soon as I got to Libya. I was in prison for four months until my father sent N300,000 for my release.
“In the prison, our food was a piece of bread every day. When I got out of the prison. I was on the street one day when I met a Nigerian who promised to help me. I worked in his house for some weeks until he sold me to a gang. They kept me in a cell. I was there for a very long time. I cannot count the number of people who died in the cell.
“The police were raiding different places where black people were kept and I willingly surrendered to the police. That was how I got an opportunity to come back to Nigeria.
“While working on the streets of Libya, if the gangs saw you, they would grab you and put you in a cell. They put you in a cell with many others where you would either be sold or made to call your people to pay for your freedom.
“While I was trying to get money the to free myself from the prison, I spoke with my father two months ago. He then told me that if I had the chance, I should return home. I told him that I might die before I had the opportunity to return home because I saw people die every day.”
Another returnee, Kelvin Sunday, 21, an Edo State indigene, said he spent N965,000 to get to Libya after raising the money with the help of friends and his sister.
He explained that a friend of his, who made it to Europe, convinced him to embark on the journey.
According to him, 41 of them set out in Kano for the journey through the desert but only 10 made it to Libya. He said their fate was sealed when their vehicle developed an engine fault in the desert.
Sunday said, “We were in the desert for three days without food or water. We were drinking our urine to survive. It got to a point that when there was no more urine to drink, we started to drink fuel.
“When we got to Libya, I was working in my burger’s house. I spent two weeks there before I went to the seaside (in Tripoli) where we would cross. From Sabha to the seaside in Tripoli, I spent two weeks. On the way, some traffickers kidnapped us. They beat and loaded us into their Hilux van, but few of us jumped down and I broke my leg. I managed to escape as they were shooting.
“We spent two days in the desert again after that escape. We later saw a motorist whom we begged to help us get to the seaside.
“We were camped at the seaside for three months without any opportunity to cross through the seas. People trying to cross the sea told me to avoid Nigerians helping Libyans to sell people. But later our camp was raided by soldiers, who took us to prison.”
He had spent four months in the cell before he was repatriated alongside many others
Harrison Okotie, 35, he was kidnapped by some violent traffickers, less than a year he got to Libya. He was attacked by his abductors, who hit him in the eye with the butt of a gun. He lost his left eye to that attack.
“Now, I don’t know if my wife and two children would ever recognise me when I get back home. I left Nigeria a whole man but I am returning with one eye,” Okotie said.
He explained that before leaving Nigeria in 2014, he worked as a painter after graduating from the Delta State University.
After paying N600,000 for the journey through the desert, he got to Libya where he was grabbed off the street by some traffickers who sold him for 2,000 dinars (about N529,000).
“When you got to the person you were sold to, he sold you again for double the previous amount.
“Many Nigerians have gone mad and cannot even say where they are in Libya right now. The day officials came to register us for repatriation, we were in a queue when one of the Libyan officials shot a Nigerian dead right there. They said he was trying to run, whereas he was desperate to return home.”
Esosa Osas, 25, another returnee, who was a hairdresser before he left Nigeria, spent six months in Libya.
According to her, several women were raped in Libya, by their abductors.
“It is either rape or death. Nobody could refuse being raped,” she said.
A fellow Edo State indigene, Odion Saliu, 26, said that the Nigerian trafficker who facilitated her trip deceived her.
She said, “She told me that once in Kano, we were going to take a plane to Libya. I was shocked when we were loaded into a vehicle.
“We spent nine days crossing the desert to Libya. I was kidnapped and sold at least three times before God brought me back to my fatherland. I am really thankful to God that I am alive.”
Actress Inem Peter is one of the beautiful, budding actresses gradually taking over the television screens with her alluring looks and killer curves.
She is well known on social media for her strong taste for skimpy and skin-tight clothes that leave her massive hips and backside on display.
The light skinned script interpreter told Inside Nollywood that 2017 is her best year so far, but also wants more to life than just a soaring career; she wants a rich, tall successful man for marriage.
According to her ‘’2017 has been wonderful. It has been very good. Movies, back to back. I can boldly say, it’s my best career year. I was in the same movie with top actors I have always admired. The likes of John Dumelo, Wole Ojo, Jibola Dabo, Mike Godson, Frederick Leonard. It was such a wonderful experience, and really a big deal for me.
“Well, aside that, I’m still very single and searching and I like flaunting my backside on social media because that’s what my mother gave me.
I would like to settle down soon, but my ideal man for marriage must be rich, physically attractive, God-fearing and hardworking. And yes, he must be tall, to compliment me because I’m just 5ft 6 inches tall.”
Ms Peter also listed all the Nollywood ‘fine boys’, she’s crushing on: ‘’Frederick Leonard, Ken Erics, Alex Ekubo, Blossom Chukujekwu, RMD, Ramsey Noah, Desmond Elliot, Joseph Benjamin and more. For Ghana, I’ll say John Dumelo, Majid Michel and Eddie Watson.”
OAP Daddy freeze is relentless in his agitation over tithes and offering collections demanded by some churches.
Daddy Freeze
Now if you didn’t get the gist, Freeze released a video of Pastor Adebayo demanding for a billion naira to complete a church project ,this footage was from some years back, and he released it in line with backing his claim that churches in Nigeria were more concerned in amassing wealth for their founder instead of saving souls.
Over the week, Senior Pastor of Kingsway Internatonal Christain Centre (KICC), Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo called Daddy Freeze a “yoyo”, and accused him of beating up his wife and son, while preaching about tithe.
Although Freeze initially replied the cleric, read here,
The OAP has now come out to refute the allegation that he beat up his wife, here’s what he posted on IG, with the caption written below:
I heard that even the ‘otobolizer’ himself ‘daddy come and eat’ took a swipe at my personal life, from what moral grounds if i may ask?
All this is a smoke screen to make the waters murky and avoid the question at hand which still stands firmly, unshaken!
WHERE IN THE BIBLE DID JESUS OUR HIGH PRIEST, OR THE DISCIPLES, OUR FIRST PASTORS COLLECT TITHE? ~FRZ
#FreeTheSheeple
He seemingly took a subtle shade at Omega Fire Ministries’ Apostle Johnson Suleiman with the term ‘otobolizer’ (Refrencing the scandal the Apostle was embrioled in earlier this year) , and this cannot be unconnected with the report that Apostle Johnson Suleiman revealed that he’d increased his tithe to 30% and that devil should go and die … LOL .. These people sefff
Bread seller turned superstar model, Olajumoke, has shown that she will not be bullied by internet trolls.
The beautiful model who promoted a spelling bee competition she will be doing a runway appearance in, was engaged in a spelling correction banter by an Instagram follower.
The follower with the handle @adora__ador tried to correct Olajumoke’s spelling, she wrote;
ARTIST NOT ARTISTE. Just passing by though……
Olajumoke fired back ;
@adora__ador My dear are your parents aware that your primary school owes them a refund? Check your dictionary for the meaning of the word “artiste” and thank me later
Adora noticed the boomerang and imminent backlash from fans and quickly deleted her comment and set her account to private. lol
She however was not quite successful with the escape as some fans came for her
Nigerian Superstars, Davido and Wizkid last month, copped awards at the annual mobo awards for Best African act and Best International act respectively, with Wizkid beating the likes of America’s JayZ and canadian rapper Drake to win the award.
Music executive, Jude Okoye, was however not impressed while reacting to this report which he said was made all because 2019 is just by the corner, he wrote;
Why all these political figures identifying with Wizzy and OBO suddenly? Oh yeah, 2019 fast approaching
A Facebook user from Accra, Ghana, known as Harriette Danso has taken a swipe at all the girls who sleep with boys and only get noodles in return.
The young girl who does not look older than 20 posted on the Social Media website that, she indeed had sexual intercourse for an iphone 6.
She received lots of backlash under the post and from observations, someone told her brother about her behavior on Social media, making her to delete the post on Social media.
It’s true she’s not the first girl to agree to have sekz with someone just to get an iPhone or something else but to have the guts to come and say it loudly on Social mediia,,, that’s just on another level – FUNKE!!!!!
The President of the Omega Fire Ministries worldwide (OFM), Apostle Johnson Suleman, has declared that he just increased the percentage of his tithes to 30%, and Satan can go and die.
Below is what he wrote on his verified Twitter page;
Recall Suleman veered into the controversy on tithe, anchored by media personality, Daddy Freeze.
Apostle Suleman backing Adeboye on his statement earlier on tithe warned OAP Freeze to stay off preaching and stick to his field, adding that tithe and offering were not used to buy expensive jets.
Earlier, Pastor Adeboye advised Christians on the dangers attached to none compliance to paying of tithe.
The general overseer stressed that he veered into the controversy because Pastor Adeboye spoke about it, adding that OAP Freeze does not deserve a response.
“Let it be clear that if anyone is not a pastor, he has no right to attack a pastor on church issue. He should leave everything to God. I only laugh.
“Somebody who is not a doctor cannot teach a certified doctor how to go about doing his job; he will just be laughed at. Someone who is not a journalist can’t teach a true journalist how he should do his work; they will just be laughing at him.
“I wouldn’t have spoken on the issue but you don’t argue with a man whose mind is already made up on any issue. It is futile. And I’m not going to confuse anybody to pay tithe, no. if you attend my church and you decide not to pay tithe, it’s left to you. In my church they don’t pay me allowance. I live on my personal businesses and I write books. So far, I have written 52 books that are inspirational and I’m still writing. If you write books that are inspirational, believers and non-believers will buy.
“It is not as if it is only church members that buy pastors’ books. That alone is enough to sustain any pastor. So, you don’t just jump to criticize any pastor for buying private jets of expensive cars because you think it is tithe that they use to buy them.
“If you asked me, there is nothing wrong with tithing. But tithes should be used by pastors to maintain Christianity, assist the poor in the church, the vulnerable and the stranded. Not that everything should go into the pastor’s pocket, that’s wrong. Every pastor should be on allowance.
“That young man does not deserve a response; in fact, I’m not talking because of him but because my Papa, Pastor Adeboye had spoken, I’m speaking on the issue. Now, if it requires that we go into a debate, let’s have it. Yes, your tithe is not a license to make heaven but it is an acknowledgment of God’s mercy in your life. But because Papa Adeboye corrected the wrong notion and the young man dared to respond to him, I felt it was insulting. This is not about sentiment or emotion, it is about commonsense. You don’t respond to an elder in certain manner, especially a man of Pastor Adeboye’s standing.
“There are things people shouldn’t just dabble into especially when it is not their field. Even if you mobilize the whole world against tithing, you will only end up being counterproductive because this is not your field. Men of God do not need to react to such issues because like I said earlier, once somebody has made up his mind on a position, nobody should argue with such a man. My reaction to such a man is, if that is your position, keep it, continue with what you believe but don’t confuse people to believe what you believe.”
Relationship expert, Solomon Buchi Bartholomew shared some beautiful photos on Facebook to inspire those with low-self esteem,
He wrote;
Always remember that you’re someone’s choice; just the way you are, without editing or recreation. You’re everything someone needs, and your flaws will be beautiful to them. Never for a moment regret how you look, or the natural features you came with.
People will make jest of your big nose, small ear, short nature, fat body, but believe me when I say your flaws beautify you. To feel bad about them is to feel bad about your selling point.
Cool. Some folks don’t like it. But there’s someone who’d die for you for just the same reason others left you.
Build your esteem with your own words of value. You’re beautiful. Deserving of love. Enough. And someone’s choice.
It’s okay if they reject you. Someone’s praying to have you.
Wizkid’s Manager, Sunday Are is finally speaking on the scuffle he had with Triple MG Artiste, Tekno at the One Music Festival held in Dubai.
Wzkid and Sunday Are.
Recall many days back, there were reports of a violent clash between Wizkid and Davio, and many witnessess present at the festival gave different versions of the event that transpired.
Recall later, there were also reports that the scuffle began after Tekno “disrespected” Wizkid’s manager, Sunday Are by offering him a handshake rather than prostrating…
Davido.
Wizkid’s manager, Sunday reportedly got pissed by “the handshake offer”, and then proeeded to punch Tekno. Davido who was present at the event then heard of the assault, then rushed to Tekno’s defense, this of course triggered the viral fight between his team and Wizkid’s.
Tekno
To confirm this version of events, Davido took to his twitter to write;
TEKNO !!! I GOT UR BACK G!!! NO ONE WILL EVER TOUCH U AGAIN!!! ?
Now, in a new interview with PUNCH, Sunday Are is addressing the whole drama… though he didn’t explain how tekno disrespected him, but then he said no artiste had ever disrespected him the way Tekno did.
Asked why he doesn’t want to say what exactly Tekno did to disrespect him, he said it is “because if I speak, the industry would not be happy about what happened.”
Wizkid
However, he wishes the young star well in his endeavours. Read what he told Punch:
“Initially I did not want to say anything about the issue I had with Tekno at the One Africa Music Fest because if I speak, the industry would not be happy about what happened. I just want to be silent on the matter because what actually happened was more or less like the quarrel of a father and son in the house. When a father has a problem with his child in a house, that is when the child will do something that is not good, you scold him and it ends there.
“What people have been reading was not actually what happened. When these young boys in the industry act sometimes, it makes me remember the Yoruba proverb which says, ‘a child can have as many clothes as an elder but he can never have as many rags as the elder.’
“Also, what an elderly person sees while seated, a child cannot see it even if he climbs a skyscraper. With all due respect to every artiste in Nigeria both old and young, what happened on that day has never happened before. No artiste in Nigeria has ever disrespected me.”
“Every artiste in this country knows that I am always there for them and I also try my best not to disrespect any one of them.”
“They can all testify to this. I always wish every music artiste the best because I stand for African entertainment. I have always wished them the best including Tekno; my happiness is for him to grow higher than he is today.”
Atiku who recently announced his withdrawal from the All Progressives Congress (APC), citing a lack of internal democracy and failure to fulfil electoral promises, is yet to announce on what platform he would be contesting the election but has hinted at joining the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
In an interview conducted by Ovation magazine boss, Chief Dele Momodu, the former vice president expressed confidence in his chances of defeating the possibly more popular Buhari at the polls.
“I will definitely beat him this time. He has wasted a lot of his massive goodwill. A lot of people are disgruntled but keeping quiet and lying low. Our youths are suffering terribly and now they are being sold into slavery. Everyone knows my track record of inviting and attracting a good team and giving them the opportunity to work professionally. Nigerians are tired of leaders who cannot think big and work big,” Atiku said.
When asked if he was sure of getting the PDP presidential ticket, Atiku dismissed all other aspirants in the opposition party as neophytes who had failed to garner a nationwide following.
“Nothing is absolutely certain in this life, but PDP needs a candidate with the brightest chance and that can only come from someone who has major experience, exposure, knowledge about running an economy, who is a Nationalist and not a sectionalist and whose brand cannot be intimidated in anyway by that of the current President. If PDP picks a weak candidate, then the Party is doomed. Some of those whose names are being touted and bandied about have not grown beyond their immediate domains,” Atiku said.
The former vice-president in the same vein challenged anyone with facts about his alleged involvement in corruption while he served as vice-president to come forward with the details. He similarly told The Boss, owned by Momodu, that he was not afraid of travelling to the United States of America (USA) but had merely been denied a visa, a decision he said was not peculiar to him, citing Buhari and current Indian Prime Minister, Modi, as persons who had suffered the same fate in the past.

Yesterday, a Facebook user, E. Onoriode, shared a post on his page enlightening Nigerians about rape and how the Nigerian law treats rape cases.
A lady who read his post reached out to him asking if she can sue a man she met on facebook. The said man had invited her to see him in Abuja.
On getting to the hotel, he disclosed to her that he was married. She asked him to leave the hotel immediately and return to his wife because she does not like getting involved with married men.
The man said he had already told his wife that he was going for a seminar. They both stayed in the hotel. When he was to have sex with her, she refused but later allowed him because he threatened her. This continued for the days she stayed with him in the hotel and after every sex, he would take her out for shopping. She said she couldn’t return to her base in Port Harcourt because she had no money on her. She is now asking if she can sue him for rape.
Read her story as shared by Onoriode below
Based on my yesterday post on rape, a girl inboxed me to know if she can sue a man for rape because according to her story, she didn’t consent to the sex.
Read our chat.
“She: “Good evening sir, pls, I read ur update abt rape and it got me so confused. I will like to knw if I can sue for rape if a man forced his way to have sex with me without my consent? ”
Me: “Yes, you can sue for rape if a man force his way on you without your consent”
She: “Thank u sir. Can I explain wht really happen to me so that u can advise me on how to go abt it?”
Me: “You’re free and I’m reading.”
Me: “Should in case I stopped replying you as we’re chatting, just know that I’m busy. I will attend to your messages once I’m less busy.”
She: “Ok. No problem sir”
She: “Abt four months ago, I met a guy on Facebook and we became close friends. He was a very nice guy to me all throughout the period of our online relationship”
Me: “…..he ‘WAS’ a very nice guy to you… That means he stopped being nice to during or after the relationship?”
She: “Hmmmm let me finish the story. You will understand what I mean.”
Me: “It’s ok. I’m reading”
She: “Somehow I and the guy started dating and exchanging nude pictures and we also had phone sex on several occasions. The guy is based in Abuja while am based in PH.”
She: “One day, he invited me to see him at Abuja where he’s based, that’s after about four months of our online relationship. He paid for my flight ticket frm PH to Abuja.”
Me: “Wow! This is getting interesting. Before you left PH for Abuja, was there any agreement between the two of you?”
She: “I don’t understand sir”
Me: ” I mean before you traveled to Abuja, did you guys discuss anything about sex or was the visit a mutual visit?”
She: “Yes, we do have phone sex and he always tell me how he will handle me if we see. Truth is that I know he wants to have sex with me that’s why he invited me to Abuja. And I do wish same too. But what happen was that when I got to Abuja, he lodged me in an hotel. I became worried because that’s not what we agreed before I left PH. I then asked him why he lodged me in an hotel instead of taking me to his house. That’s when I realized he’s a married man. I became so disappointed and angry. We quarried seriously that day for concealing his marital status to me. He begged me seriously to forgive him but I was too angry to look at his face. The whole love I have for him died immediately. Sir, I have not dated a married man in my life and I never wished to date one. But I was surprise he didn’t tell me he was married until that day.”
Me: “So all through the four months of your relationship with this man, you didn’t ask him of his relationship status?”
She: “I’ve asked him severally but he always ignore the question with various excuses that am too inquisitive”
Me: “So what happened in the hotel”
She : “That day at the hotel when I discovered he’s married, he told me he told his wife that he’s traveling to Lagos for five days seminar. That means he want to spend the five days with me in the hotel. I became more angry because if am in his wife shoes, I won’t be happy that another woman is spending time with my husband in an hotel room. So I told him to go back home to his wife but he refused that he had already paid for the hotel room for five days and he had packed his luggage’s to be with me for five days and that he can’t go home until after five days”
Me: ” I’m still here reading. Just continue.”
She : “Ok. So that night, after taking my bath, as I was applying cream on my body, he came to me that he want to have sex with me but I refused and we argued about it till mid night. When he realized I was serious, he respected my decision and went to bed angrily. The following day, he took me out for shopping to clam me down but I was still angry with him. In the evening, he told me he want to share the bathroom with me and I refused. He went to the bathroom and took his bath alone. After I had taken my own bath, immediately I stepped out of the bathroom, he grabbed me, and told me he will break my hand if I don’t allow him to have his way. I was so scared due to rge look in his eyes. His behavior was frightening so I allowed him have his way. As he was having sex with me, I kept begging him to stop but he refused. Truth is that, I didn’t consent to the sex but he forced his way and raped me. I bruised seriously in my vagina. I was crying when he was on me but he didn’t stop. That night, I wasn’t myself.”
Me: “So what action did you take after that incident? ”
She: “I couldn’t do anything because I don’t know anywhere in Abuja. Though, he apologized to me that night but he still repeated it again in the morning. And that was how he kept raping me till I left for PH”
Me: “So during this period where he was raping you, were you tied in the hotel room? Did you have access outside the hotel room? Why did you remain in the hotel with your rapist? Who did you inform in the hotel that you’re being raped by one of their customer? Who paid for your TF back to PH?”
She: “Am confused sir. Actually, I have access outside the hotel and I do go to the pool daily to swim and we go out to the supermarket on few occasions together to buy things. But why I remained in the hotel was because I don’t know anybody in Abuja and I don’t have TF to take me back to PH from Abuja”
Me: “I’d tell you the truth, as long as we are in Nigeria, you can file for rape if you so wish but if what you told me is what you’d tell your lawyer or Police, you won’t win the case. In fact, the Police and lawyers will laugh at you. This is because you claimed the man raped you yet, you remained with your rapist in the same hotel room for days for him to keep raping you. You can’t tell me that in that hotel, there’s nobody to complain to. Yet, you kept quiet and remained in the hotel with him even though you’re not tied or locked in the room. You have free access to and fro the hotel yet, you still went back to the room to meet your rapist.
My advise is that you should learn from this incident because you don’t have a genuine case. That’s the painful truth”
A heated argument ensued in the comment section, read some of the responses below:

A 44-year-old mother of nine, Heidi Hepworth says she doesn’t regret leaving her children for Gambian toyboy, Salieu Jallow, and nothing will stop her from marrying him.
Last month Heidi’s heartbroken husband Andy, also 44, spoke of his horror at discovering his wife of 23 years had gone off to meet Salieu, who had contacted her on Facebook from The Gambia, West Africa.
Her decision sparked a police investigation and Andy said: “It’s a mid-life crisis. The person she has become is horrible.
“A caring mum wouldn’t go off gallivanting around Africa with her new boyfriend.” Now, speaking exclusively to The Sun, Heidi has defended her actions, saying: “I don’t have a single regret. I’m not a terrible parent.
“It was really hard for me to leave my kids, but they couldn’t come with me so I had no choice. “I was shocked at the anger that was directed at me for supposedly abandoning my children. That just didn’t happen.”
Heidi has two sons and a daughter aged 24 to 29 from a previous relationship. She and Andy have three daughters aged six, nine and 23 and three sons aged 11, 17 and 18.
She added: “The three youngest were left with my eldest daughter. She moved into my home while I was away so that they were disrupted as little as possible. “I went online every night and we video-chatted. They seemed happy and I know my kids well.
“They also chatted to Salieu and have become very fond of him through talking online over the past few months. “If people think I went over to The Gambia and didn’t give them a second thought, they are so wrong.
But having said that, I make no apologies for following my heart. I’ve been unhappy for a long time and I think I have found someone to spend the rest of my life with. “We are in love and nothing will stop me from marrying him. If other people don’t like that they will just have to lump it.”
Heidi Hepworth ditched husband Andy (pictured together), for Mamadou Jallow from Gambia after she started talking to strangers online.
