Two suspected kidnappers, were over the weekend, shot dead, in a gun duel with the Anambbra State Police Command at Obosi.
The suspects were killed by the police detectives attached to the Special Anti -Robbery Squad, while rescuing their victim, one Nnamdi Ibru.
The commissioner of police, Garba Umar, said the victim, a 32-year-old building engineer, was abducted around 8pm in a filling station at Obosi.
Umar, who spoke through the Police Public Relations Officer Princess Nkeiruka Nwode, said the suspects, numbering four, took the victim to a bush in the area where they placed a call on his cousin, demanded a ransom of N20million.
He said the police trailed the suspects as they were coming to collect the ransom and two of them were shot, while the other two escaped with bullet wounds.
He said the victim was rescued alive but not without bullet wounds on the shoulder and the leg.
Narrating his ordeal in the hands of the abductors, the victim said he spent a day without food with the kidnappers who tortured him with axe and other dangerous weapons.
“At a point they abandoned me after shooting me severally, thinking I was already dead.” he said. He said the suspects collected a total sum of N290,000 from him as well as his ATM card which they used to withdraw some amount from his account.
Don Jazzy’s younger brother, D’Prince, In an interview with Punch Newspapers, has spoken about his plans on getting married to the mother of his child.
Read excerpts:
On marriage
I definitely have plans to get married to the mother of my child and as we speak, we are dating; we are in a relationship. I cannot say when I would get married because it is private information. The day I get married, no one would know. The reason why I am famous is because of my music and not my relationship life or family, so I want that to be my focus. What if my partner does not want to be in the limelight? I have to respect that. I don’t expose my private life.
On his time away from the entertainment industry
I would not say that I disappeared from the entertainment scene. I have been up and about and besides, I have a baby and I had to travel to set up my house in America. I was also recording an album and even though this is my second album, it feels like my first. To be frank, I actually needed quiet time to work on my music because a lot has been happening in the industry. Also, scarcity also increases the demand for a commodity.
Singer, D’Prince
On fatherhood
Fatherhood has been awesome. Being a father has actually changed my life and because I have a child, I can say I am in a better place now. I wish this feeling of peace, settlement and vision for everyone. A lot of test and challenges have come my way but being able to overcome them has really made me fulfilled. Initially when my child was born, I was in shock because I did not believe that I had become a father. But apart from that, there was nothing scary.
Mavin Records
I am not leaving Mavin Records for anything because this is what we built from the outset. We evolved from Mo’hits to Mavin Records. Even though it is my brother’s record label, I cannot act in a nonchalant manner. If you really know me, I am the one that creates the rules here so I cannot break them. Anyone that chooses to disobey the rule would face the consequences but I plan on following my pace; I put a lot into consideration before recording my music.

Anybody with useful information about his family or relatives should go to that area or the nearest police station”
Elder Sister to Jero Loveth, the 15-year-old girl who committed suicide by drinking sniper, has spoken on the death of her younger sister.
Identified as Jero Franca, she took to her Facebook page to debunk reports making round that Slimzy (Loveth) took her life because of a guy. Instead, she was depressed and lonely.
Franca Jero.
Sharing a report of YabaLeftOnline.com on her Facebook page, she wrote on Facebook:
You don’t know how painful the death of a person is until it comes knocking on your household.
Seeing these distasteful and defamatory news online is just appalling. My little sister committed suicide but she was never pregnant neither was it because of her boyfriend.
I came online and saw all sorts of rubbish, people insulting a deceased but have you ever heard of depression, loneliness and fear of the unknown? Stay in your house and keep spreading rumors until what happened to my sister happens to your loved ones.
The chairman of Celenca Community landlords association, located along Badagry expressway, Lagos State have been arrested by operatives of the Lagos state Police command for stealing and snatching cars.
The 42-year-old suspect, Daniel Egwe told police officers that he went into crime after some top Nigeria Customs officers defrauded him of over N4million, NewTelegraphreports.
He said:
“Yes, I went into crime after some Customs officers swindled me of N4m. I borrowed most of the money they stole and I needed to repay my creditors. I also joined crime because I had been dreaming and yearning to become chairman of the landlord association in our community.
I needed money for that. You have to lobby other landlords to vote for you.
This included doling out money. I spent money on those landlords that voted for me.”
Meanwhile, when security operatives stormed the community to arrest Egwe, members of the community wouldn’t allow them to take him away.
They told the operatives that Egwe was too pious and honest to be a robber. They said it could be a case of mistaken identity. Police alleged that he had used proceeds from crime to build houses in the community.
Egwe was arrested along with Bademosi Adebayo and Nnamdi Ariwodo.
A police source said:
“According to the community members, the suspect had contributed immensely to reduction of crime in the community.
He single-handedly hired security guards to keep watch in the community. He hired guards to keep out armed robbers from the community, while he is also an armed robber.”
FIFA has said it will not act on Ghana’s complaint about refereeing, in a 2018 World Cup qualifying match at Uganda last weekend.
The Ghana federation called for the 0-0 draw to be replayed and also protested about South African referee Daniel Bennett and his assistants from Seychelles.
The Black Stars’ failure to win, meant Egypt clinched the sole ticket from the group, after they beat Republic of Congo 2-1 the next day.
FIFA says “no proceedings will be opened around the World Cup qualifier match Uganda vs. Ghana.”
Ghana believed two goals were disallowed for incorrect offside decisions. Replays also suggested a stoppage-time goal should have counted.
LUCK they say, is success apparently brought by chance rather than through one’s own actions!…Yeah!
A Nigerian woman, Victoria Ibe whose successful efforts pushed her in to great spotlight, made use of the big opportunity she had as she won a whooping sum of N16.6m after predicting 7 straight draws on Nigerian betting platform, Nairabet.
According to a Twitter user, @I_PissVodka, who shared the news on the micro-blogging website, Twitter, the young woman cashed out N16.6million.
He wrote:
A woman successful predicted 7 straight draws on nairabet, won N16.6m and you people are here claiming Man is the head of the house.
Lmao.

Yesterday, a story of a 15-year-old girl, Slimzy Jay, real names, Jero Loveth, who reportedly committed suicide went viral.
According to viral reports, it was said she drank Sniper, a rat poison, after her boyfriend, Ro Se, broke up with her.
Fast forward to this morning, there were rumors that Slimzy was faking her death, to be famous as there were screenshots of a purported chat that shows her admitting to faking it. [See Details Here]
Her sister revealed to us that investigations as to why she committed suicide with Sniper is still ongoing. She also debunked claims that she was pregnant before her death.
Slimzy Jay (Loveth) has been buried today amidst tears. May her soul rest in peace. Amen.
Just about two months after they presumably got back together, after an alleged break up, Nigerian music sensations, Lola Rae and Tekno, have yet again, hinted another break up.
The duo have unfollowed each other on their Instagram pages respectively – it should be recalled that sometime in August, they hit the web with break up reports after unfollowing each other on IG and weeks later, disparaged the reports as they were spotted having a nice time partying, with Tekno sharing the photos and video of them partying at a club in Lagos.
Well, it looks like they’ve had to have a time off from each other again as their IG pages state the obvious. Tekno, is currently busy with his career and is in the works with DJ Cuppy who on one hand has broken up with her footballer boyfriend Victor, which makes them both single… if you know what I mean.
Yeah well, they seemed like a perfect pair… we hate to see them go! #Sobs
Apparently, sources hinted that young Loveth took her life, after she found out she was pregnant, and told her boyfriend, Ro Se, who later broke up with her.
Slimzy Jay and Her Sister, Mary.
Today, screenshots of a purported chat that claims it was all a prank, made rounds, which led many to believe, that Young Loveth apparently faked her death just to be famous.
The Fake Screenshot.
YabaLeftOnline.com then reached out to Slimzy’s sister, who confirmed that indeed Slimzy Jay (Loveth) committed suicide, but not because of a guy. She revealed to us that Slimzy died on Thursday, at around 10 PM, that’s 7 hours after she made a post on Facebook about a friend of hers, (See Below).
We then asked her sister to also confirm if Slimzy was really pregnant, but then she debunked the claims that Slimzy was pregnant.
“She’d be buried today”, Slimzy’s sister confirmed to YabaLeftOnline.com
SLimzy’s Boyfriend, Identified on Facebook as “Ro Se”, has already reacted to the news that he was the cause of her death, In a post he made on Facebook, He wrote; “For all of you guys that said i was the fault of my hearts death…no problem. may God judge your case….i wont say much…but God bless you all….”
He has since deactivated his Facebook account, after he got bashed heavily!
5000 hectares of plantation have been reportedly destroyed by officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in Ondo state as 14 suspected growers and cultivators of the indian hemp have been arrested.
The Indian Hemp Farm The arrest and destruction of the plantation at Ala forest was carried out by a Special Enforcement Team(SET) led by the Controller of Operations(CN) of the Agency Sunday Zirange.
Those arrested include both men and women. The led by the NDLEA’s Chairman/Chief Executive Officer(CEO) Col.Mustapha Abdallah(Rtd) were on a two day operation to the state.
Also, two suspected cultivators of the substance had to abandon what they were cooking on fire inside their hut when they saw the team but were later arrested in a nearby farm where they were hiding.
Hundreds of labourers were engaged by the agency to cut all the substance before they were set on fire. Speaking on behalf of the NDLEA Chairman, Zirange lamented the rate of deforestation in the southwest especially Ondo state.
He said:
“In the next 10 years if care is not taken, the thick forest in the west would have disappeared. The Northern part is a desert region, with fast encroachment while the south which is suppose to be the hope of the nation is being used for cannabis cultivation and the destruction of economic trees.
This development is affecting this country, all hands must be on deck, because the situation will affect the whole world with the issue of global warning as a result of environmental degradation”.
“Last year about 72 tonnes of cannabis were seized in Ondo forest zone, now we decided to be on the plantation site for us to see things for ourselves, you can see, there is no standing trees again, we will bring those arrested to justice.”
A Kansas native, Lamonte McIntyre who was wrongly convicted of a double murder finally regained freedom after spending more than half of his life behind bars.
The 41-year-old man hugged his mother for the first time as a free man in 23 years on Friday with joy all over his face.
McIntyre who was serving two life sentence spoke for the first time and his first words were: “It’s nice outside.”
He was originally convicted at the age of 17 on the testimony of witnesses who later recanted. Prosecutors presented no physical evidence or motive to tie him to the 1994 murders.
A judge was reconsidering the case in court hearings that were scheduled to last into next week, when the new prosecutor in the case said in a news release that new information cast doubt on witness identification of McIntyre as the killer, and that a jury might have not convicted him.
“In light of information learned by my office since I began in January,” Wyandotte County District Attorney Mark Dupree said:
“my office is requesting the Court find that manifest injustice exists.”
The original investigators of the daytime shooting never issued search warrants nor discovered a link between McIntyre and the victims, according to The Washington Post. He was arrested after less than 20 minutes of interviews.
“The investigation was hasty and superficial,” said the Midwest Innocence Project, which helped free McIntyre.
McIntyre has always maintained his innocence.
His mother, Rose McIntyre who was present when he was arrested decades ago, on Friday thanked “everybody who never gave up on my son,” according to the Kansas City Star, which reported that there were many tears in the courtroom when the man was finally freed.
He (the judge) said:
‘You’re free.’ I almost hit the floor,” The Star quoted Rose McIntyre as saying. “I want him to feel the sunlight.”
After the singer’s release of his own clip from the night Tagbo died, Dami, a family friend to Tagbo’s family, has revealed the tape is of no use in the ongoing investigation.
Speaking with Saturday Beats, Damilola Usman, says,
“Few days ago, I was told that during Davido’s visit to the police station, he brought the guys who dumped Tagbo’s body at the general hospital to the police station. The same guys that they saw in the CCTV were the ones that were brought to the police station. The CCTV in the hospital showed the guys that dropped him and the way he was dropped at the hospital.
“From my observation, the police investigation would not be based on the CCTV from the Shisha Room where they went to drink. Davido is only trying to defend himself by releasing the CCTV video footage of the Shisha Room because the police already have that footage and they had seen it before Davido’s camp released the video. I believe they are going to base their investigation on the hospital’s CCTV.
“The question that Davido has been asked is why he asked people to drop Tagbo at the hospital and he is denying the claims. They are asking Davido that why his escorts would leave him to go and drop Tagbo’s body in the hospital. He is showing us the Shisha Room CCTV which revealed that the guy was drunk. We are all aware that he was drunk, but how did they treat him after realising that he was drunk? That is the question that he is being asked but he is trying to evade it. I saw the CCTV footage at the police station and he knows the guys that went to drop him at the hospital.
They are his boys; one of them was wearing a red fez cap and an Adidas clothing head to toe. The guys that went to drop him are Davido’s friend. I saw one of the guys at the Shisha Room on that fateful day and later that night, I also saw him at the Elegushi Beach but I don’t know when they went to drop him at the hospital. The police already have all the evidence they need and they are investigating the matter.
“The footage that was released which showed that Tagbo was high at the Shisha Room is not the issue; the question is what happened after.”
Dami also revealed that Tagbo’s dad died 5-years ago and his mum is currently battling stroke:
“Tagbo’s father died about five or six years ago. He is the first son but second child of his mother. He has a younger brother, Chigbo but his elder sister who is the first born of the family is based in the UK. His mother has stroke and I am sure she is not happy about what is happening being a mother. I cannot really say much about the state of his mother and the only person that can say much about her is Chigbo because she is currently not in Lagos,” he said.
Mavin artiste, D’Prince, has shared why he took a break from the music scene as he opens up on his relationship with his baby mama and his marriage plans.
On marriage plans, he said:
I definitely have plans to get married to the mother of my child and as we speak, we are dating; we are in a relationship. I cannot say when I would get married because it is private information. The day I get married, no one would know. The reason why I am famous is because of my music and not my relationship life or family, so I want that to be my focus. What if my partner does not want to be in the limelight? I have to respect that. I don’t expose my private life,” He said.
He continued saying his time away from the music scene was taken to cater to his baby who is almost 2-years.
“I would not say that I disappeared from the entertainment scene. I have been up and about and beside, I have a baby and I had to travel to set up my house in America. I was also recording album and even though this is my second album, it feels like my first. To be frank, I actually needed a quiet time to work on my music because a lot has been happening in the industry. Also, scarcity also increases the demand for a commodity.
“Fatherhood has been awesome. Being a father has actually changed my life and because I have a child, I can say I am in a better place now. I wish this feeling of peace, settlement and vision for everyone. A lot of test and challenges have come my way but being able to overcome them has really made me fulfilled. Initially when my child was born, I was in shock because I did not believe that I had become a father. But apart from that, there was nothing scary. When I knew I was having a baby, I was scared because I did not know what the future would hold.”
On leaving Mavin:
“I am not leaving Mavin Records for anything because this is what we built from the outset. We evolved from Mo’hits to Mavin Records. Even though it is my brother’s record label, I cannot act in a nonchalant manner. If you really know me, I am the one that creates the rules here so I cannot break them. Anyone that chooses to disobey the rule would face the consequences but I plan on following my pace; I put a lot into consideration before recording my music.
“I don’t think anyone should compare me with the likes of Reekado Banks, Di’ja and Korede Bello because we are in the same stable. Anybody that brings that up is not considering the fact that we are in the same family. We have our ethics, we work like a family,” he said.
Nollywood actor, Emeka Ike, has spoken about the end of his marriage which was publicized on social media few weeks ago.
According to the actor, he did not sign any document to confirm that he is indeed done with the marriage.
“The court dissolved my marriage illegally; I want people to get it right. For you to dissolve a marriage, the man and his lawyer must be present in court to sign some documents. Ask them, was either my lawyer or myself present in court on that day? Is it possible to say the marriage has been dissolved? My wife says that I am a wife beater but the same woman two years ago in church during counselling, wrote it down that I am a caring man who is selfless and loves his family. She wrote that I love her and my lawyer still has the written note. She made this statement at The Redeemed Assemblies of God church in Magodo, Lagos. Can I possess all these and still beat my wife? Six months later, she began to sing another tune and I know she was advised by some people that it was the only way to leave the marriage.
“The reason why I have not signed the papers is because of the blackmail involved and my name that has been tarnished. She is spoiling my name; I would fight to clear myself of being called a wife beater with everything I have. I hate being referred to as a wife beater because I am not one. Any man that does that does not deserve to be called a father or a man because you are stronger than the woman,” he said.
Emeka, who has custody of his kids, claimed the kids do not want to see their mother.
“My children do not want to see their mother. When my daughter heard she would be taken to Lagos to be with her mother, she was crying profusely because she did not want to go to meet her. The children are scared of her. People have been asking me how my children have been coping with this whole drama but the truth is that they don’t want to see her. If you threaten our daughter that she would go to Lagos to meet her mother, she would cry and do everything you want her to do in the house just because she doesn’t want to see her.
Now my children are suffering emotionally, I even had to pay their matron double the money she asked for to make my children comfortable so they don’t really miss their mother. I am not happy that my daughter does not have a role model. The children are really irritated by their mother. I have a lot of evidence of child abuse against her but I am waiting for the right time to arrest her. Even in court, her son testified against her. She has tried to use the press against me by saying that I am a wife beater but I have never touched her in my life.
This is a real story and not a joke. Her best TV station is the criminal investigation channel; she stays up till 4am to watch the channel for over five years. At first, I used to enjoy watching it with her. She watched the programmes about women who killed their husbands, children, relatives. How would you wake up by 4am and not see your wife on the bed only to go downstairs and see her watching that station as if she is taking notes. I had to ask her if she wanted to kill somebody with the way she watched the station but she just switched off the television, went to her room and slept.
“This is the story of my life. This is a woman whom I brought out of a one room apartment she was living with her mother, the other room was covered with zinc but I built a two-bedroomed apartment for them. I went to her village and built a three-bedroomed apartment for her. I trained her from secondary school to Master’s degree level. Is this how she is supposed to pay me back? No one is looking at all this but they would go online to say that I am bitter. Some men suffer like me but they died for nothing. That is why I dedicated my award to all the men that lost their lives to the women they loved,” he said.
On the photo of him and a mystery lady that hit social media days ago, Emeka said:
“People saw a picture of me and a lady together and they have already begun to conclude different things. Love is not a public thing but a private matter, however, the lady I was pictured with is truly a South African and also of a German descent but she is my friend and we took pictures. People should leave it like that. When I want to get married again, everyone would know and that is if there will be anything like that. But at the moment, the lady is just my friend,” he said.
Son of late Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi, Stephen Jnr and his girlfriend, American fashion designer, Aaliyah Landecho welcomed their first child, a son named Onyeka Grayson Stephen Keshi on Friday October the 13th.

The management of Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU, Osun State has reportedly suspended four of its students allegedly said to have engaged in criminal activities.
It’s reported that the Vice Chancellor of the University, Professor Eyitope Ogunbodede, approved their immediate suspension, following the investigation of the police and pending its outcome.
The affected students include Omole Ibukun Ayodele, studying Civil Engineering, Jacob Tosin Grace, in the Faculty of Law. Others are Udeh John, a student in the department of Arts and Social Sciences and one Oluwalade Babatunde, said to be studying English.
Confirming the development, OAU Public Relations Officer, Mr Abiodun Olarewaju, in a statement, said,
‘the students, together with other persons, vandalised commercial transport vehicles of the members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers in Ile-Ife, and drove two other vehicles to more police stations where other students being interrogated by the police were forcefully released by their group.
The Vice-Chancellor of the University, Professor Eyitope Ogunbodede, upon careful review of the facts and circumstances of the matter, has come to the inevitable conclusion that the students involved be suspended from the University in the interim, pending police investigation and until such time as the situation shall have been reviewed and resolved’.
Following their alleged misconducts, the students were further ordered “to vacate the campus and are accordingly forbidden to participate in any activity of the University, either within or outside the campus. “The University management has, therefore, advised law-abiding students to concentrate on their studies and shun any act or utterance that is capable of elongating the academic calendar beyond the stipulated period,” the statement read.

Nigeria’s self-acclaimed King of Snapchat, Bobrisky has made a dramatic return to his public Snapchat, and we aren’t that surprised, as we have predicted this already.

This is coming after the cross-dresser said he was deleting his Public Snapchat, to go private, so he can “entertain” his real fans, and put aside Haters… His private snap came with a price tag of N10,000.
Now, the cross-dresser has reactivated his Public snapchat account in order for him to remain relevant and controversial on Social Media.
“Now bob is back on public snap”, wrote the 26-year-old on Instagram, “This is for you my fans, who can’t afford 10,000. But my premium is still on thuo” He concluded.
Reacting to the news that he came public after Nigerians refused to pay, he wrote:
Some of u are saying I don’t have enough people on my premium that was y I came back on public. Bad mind thinking. I came back because my dm here is over full with messages people asking me to come back on my old snap. But since I deleted d old one I decided to open new one for them. A lot of people in USA and other countries don’t know d procedure to pay for premium. It hasn’t been easy for them. So take ur hate somewhere else. My premium is still fucking existing.
Few days ago we published an Open Letter to Davido, by Mark Anthony Osuchukwu, If you missed that you can read it below;
Dear Davido, God’s mercy will fall on you on one condition.
It is no more news that a certain David Adeleke loss three of his friends in quick successions–In a space of days.
This raised eyebrows and questions which is very normal. The same way eyebrows are raised when suspicion is present.
DJ Olu of blessed memory was buried today. Davido’s former DJ. May his soul rest in peace.
Olu’s death isn’t as disturbing as that of Tagbo who Nigerians gave the posthumous luxury of “trending” on twitter for three days straight.
Conspiracy theories are flying around like a drunk hawk. People having opinions all of a sudden. People growing clairvoyant as the clock ticks.
I have sat down and thought of Tagbo’s death. It actually reminds me of my father’s death. Till date, nobody knows the exact thing that killed my father.
Different stories for different emotions.
No legit reason!
My mother demanded an autopsy. I didn’t see the need for that. Spending money on things like that wasn’t what I thought of at the time.
An autopsy report won’t resurrect him.
She understood my reason and we moved on.
Everyday, it haunts us. The ignorance of his death. There wasn’t a direct suspect like that of Davido and Tagbo.
The whole world would suspect young Adeleke. If Davido wasn’t the person in this shoe, he would have suspected himself too. This is not a case of David having enemies of progress. Far from it!
Suspicion isn’t authentic.
It is just something that we hold unto when there isn’t anything to hold on to anymore.
In history, suspicions have panned out to be true. Some others panned out to be heavy lies.
Tagbo’s family and friends are NOT wrong for accusing Davido of whatever they want to accuse him of. The have the right to. David has the right to debunk it with proofs. Just imagine: Davido was with him. Some reports said that young men full of life were busy competing for 200k and an iPhone if only 40 shots of tequila will be consumed.
I am sorry but they are all mad. Raving mad for allowing someone who they considered a friend to attempt such nonsense.
The bar or club should be shut down completely and the bar man should be flung behind bars for aiding the death of his fellow young man. The owner of the bar should provide CCTV footage of that evening. Davido thought that the best thing he could do was to carry the dead body of his friend the hospital and run away.
Forgetting that he’s a star and stars don’t hide at night.
He fled forgetting that things like CCTV cameras existed.
This shows that money isn’t everything. 30 billion can’t buy sense.
He was your friend. Good!
He died out of drinking. Good! Whatever happened to going to the morgue and keeping him there with your name since he’s your friend and “homie” How about reporting yourself to the family and the police station?
They know he’s your friend.
Dumping him there and running Was the height of crass stupidity.
His phone is still missing until this day!
Young Adeleke gave the room for suspicion.
This case would have been handled well without social media hearing ‘pim’ if he had reasonable people around him. But sadly he had drunks!
I saw his status on instagram last night.
Honestly, I feel for the kid. This isn’t gonna be easy for him.
Guilty or innocent.
Cases like this can make one lose it completely.
I hope and wish he is innocent.
God’s mercy will only fall on him if he’s clean.
To Tagbo’s loved ones, peace be upon you all.
To Davido, be strong!
Now, Here’s a REPLY to the Open Letter as published by, Emtolalaa Praise.
It’s not bad to have opinions and it’s not bad to sound judgemental and I think some facts need to be spelt out in black and white.
Now let’s be realistic. For me, this case is simple.
Here’s why;
Every weekend in Nigeria, people get drunk. I wouldn’t be wrong to say “everyday “. I’ve watched one myself though I hate the sight of it. So to accuse the management of that bar or the bartender is outrightly wrong and insane. It’s simply business.
There’s a warning on every cigarette packet but then, does it stop people from smoking more than one packet? Hell No! Now Tagbo is an adult and his friends as well.
The drinking competition that for him killed happens every now and then and yes, there’s always a price. It’s just same with other kind of competition or task you’re being put up to just to win something rewarding.
I understand that these acts can be insane most or all of the time, and yes you’d be very correct to see it that way.
However, that was Tagbo’s decision. That Dude was just too slim for God’s sake and his liver couldn’t handle the excess alcohol in his system and of course, I could guess that he had an acute fulminant liver failure, just like what happened right before my eyes when someone gulped the whole liquor in a Hennessy bottle. I cried that night knowing in my heart he wouldn’t make it, though I tried to lend them my 2 kobo sense but then they were all too high to listen to what a Jew like me had to say.
If ever someone have died because of you. You would have understood what FEAR means. So take a chill pill Mr Mark. Don’t make it sound like he did something absolutely wrong. No he didn’t. It was a product of the aftermath of their peaceful and innocent drinking competition that caused the immediate FEAR that put him in that uneasy spot. If it were you , I’m sure your brain would have gone on strike for days before dealing with the reality that someone died because of something you chaired or started.
I am speaking as a neutral person on this matter, giving my thoughts to the issue from every possible angle. I don’t blame Tagbo as well, some of us would have tried that stunt with our lives at stake just for the benefits.
It’s life and it happened and I just hope that this will be a big lesson to all of us especially those that drink like that is their destiny and those that can smoke on behalf of Africa.

The police in investigating the theft sent detectives out to the area.

The car was at 8:08 a.m. recovered few meters away from the beer parlour with every part of the vehicle intact.
He was detained briefly and counselled before he was allowed to go.

A young Malaysian based Nigerian guy, with the name Chukwuka Deskey P Ekene on Facebook, has romantically surprised his wife with a Toyota Camry on her Birthday.
The couple met years ago when the guy was still broke and living in Nigeria – his wife stood by him and supported him and didn`t give up on all those times before he then travelled to Malaysia in search of greener pasture and off course he returned as a Big Guy.
Sharing the news on his Facebook, Chukwuka wrote:
Sweetheart, the gift I have given you today does not convey my love for you even one third of what it is there in my heart. This was just a small token to show you my love for you. Happy Birthday, ones more.
It’s being revealed newly that over two hundred University of Lagos law students have been barred from writing the ongoing semester examination for allegedly failing to meet up to the compulsory 65% of their course attendance.
According to SaharaReporters, some of the affected students lamented that the rule sprang upon them without prior notice, adding that the University’s enforcement of the rule was to reduce the number of students who get to the final year, and subsequently get admitted to the Nigerian Law School.
One of the students who spoke on condition of anonymity said; “the university did this not because they so much care about students coming to class but because they needed to cut the number of students who go to law school.
Normally, it is two hundred and seventy students (270) that get accepted into law school so they are trying to cut down the number of students before they get to the final year.”
He opined that many students prefer to stay in their hostels to study as the capacity of their lecture hall cannot accommodate students if they all decided to be in class. The 400 level student said the faculty of law annex which has bigger capacity lecture halls does not have a public address system to amplify the voices of their lecturers when they teach.
Another student said stated that out of over 300 in his class (400 level) which used to be up to 400 in the lower level several were advised to withdraw.
“If we combine the number of students who have been stopped from writing their examinations both in elective or compulsory courses, there would have over 200 students who have missed one exams or the other and that is just one class. Some students have not written a single exam since exams started.”
He said lecturers too miss classes.
“There were times I went for customary law classes that the lecturer was not around, about 5 times that happened ion one semester. Sometimes we have over 200 students taking an elective course and the class would only accommodate 150 students which means some students who have to stand”.
However, the dean of the faculty of law, Professor Atsenwa, said the 65% attendance rule is not new in the university, it is contained in students’ handbook, adding that there also has been constant reminders to the students on the rule.
“I am surprised that a genuine student of the University of Lagos would say he is not aware of the rule, it is in their handbook and at the back of their docket. I am also surprised that any student would say they are not aware because the faculties reminded them. It is not a new rule and their attention was drawn to the rule” the dean said.

Two pregnant love rivals have been captured on video fighting over their cheating boyfriend – after discovering he was the father of both of their unborn children, it has been reported.
According to Mirror.co.uk, the two unnamed women came to blows while arguing in the street and exchanging heated words. The man, dressed in a motorbike helmet, tried to separate them. According to local reports, the man has fathered both of their unborn children.
Local media reported that the man was hugging his girlfriend in the street when his secret lover stormed up to them.
She confronted the pair and revealed she, too, is pregnant with his child – brandishing a mobile phone and referring to text messages between herself and the man.
The woman claims that he has not responded since she told him she was pregnant.
This sparked a furious row between the women, and the girlfriend of the man tells her to have some “respect” as he has chosen to live with her.
The girlfriend said: “You are going to have a child with and I have child with him. And so?
“Will not you respect us? He lives with me, and he already told you that he will answer you. And so what?”
Police finally arrived on the scene and appeared to try and control the young women. The motorcyclist, still wearing a helmet, seemed to be more concerned about protecting his identity than ensuring the two pregnant women do not harm one another.
The incident occurred in Valledupar in the north eastern Colombian department of Cesar.
