Reports made the rounds yesterday of DJ Olu, son of billionaire businessman Dapo Abiodun, being discovered dead in his car. The gentleman was affiliated with Nigerian singer, Davido, as his official Disc Jockey and bosom friend.
And though details of how he died are still kinda foggy, another gentleman, identified simply as ‘Chime’, a close friend of the late DJ (judging from his Instagram page) was also found dead in the same car with him.
His friends expressed total shock as they took to his IG page to ask him to say something, cause they want to believe he’s gone, others accepted fate and paid tribute.
According to reports online, a lady, Ilerioluwa has been arrested at Ogudu in Lagos, after she cut off her neighbor’s tongue.
The victim, identified as Suleman Babangida is currently writhing in pain, as he says he cannot eat, or even take something through his mouth.
Ilerioluwa
According to IB9ja, it is said Ilerioluwa cut off Suleman#s tongue for ritual purpose. The incident happened around midnight on Thursday, October, 5, 2017.
Narrating what happened, the victim, Babangida, said: “It was around 11:30pm when I came back home. Then when I was about to go and urinate at the bathroom, all of a sudden I just saw this lady that I usually call Ilerioluwa, at my back inside the bathroom.
I was like sister Ileri what’s happening, all of a sudden, she just choked my neck and I could not have the strength to scream out extremely. All I could see next was that my tongue had been cut down.”
Ileri was later arrested and the tongue retrieved from her. According to Babangida, she is currently being detained at the Kirikiri prison, after appearing in court on Friday.
Regarding his current condition, Babangida said: “Right now I can’t even eat or take something. I am in pain. The tongue can’t be reattached any longer. I’m not in any relationship with Ileri.
I respected her a lot and took her like a sister. She has nothing to say about what she did to me. The case has been adjourned till the 16th of this month.”
Psquare’s Peter Okoye who just signed a partnership deal with Empire, an American distribution company and record label based in San Francisco, California has shared a photo of himself flaunting a customized pendant with his new stage name, Mr. P.
Recall, The singer who had before now disclosed that he has gone solo, replied a curious fan who asked him what songs he’d be performing in a show, whether that of Mr P or of P-Square’s. [Read Here]
Yesterday, he announced that he was pausing his US tour, to come back to Nigerian to spend time with his family.
He wrote;

Media Personality, Toke Makinwa while responding to a Twitter user has disclosed that she is not ashamed of leaving her marriage to Maje Ayida, saying that walking away “is way better than living unhappy.”
Nollywood actress, Mercy Aigbe, is less bothered about anything that has to do with her estranged husband, Lanre Gentry as she seems to have moved on from the union that almost cost her her life.
Lanre Gentry turned a year older today and the actress explicitly ignored his birthday, sending nothing close to a birthday message to him on social media.
Mr. Gentry however made himself happy with a message to himself. He wrote:
“Happy birthday to me ,well in everything I still say thank you Lord in you I trust my God thank you and thank you for let me see moor year thank you Lord .” (sic)
Nigerian female music sensation, Simi, shared some lovely photos on her IG page and didn’t disable her comment section… so it was okay for people to give their take on the style of her outfit.
Nollywood actor, Uche Maduagwu, felt obliged to apprise the singer, that her outfit was sewn from tablecloth fabric and wondered whether she’s been hit by the recession and that’s why she opted out for something cheap. He wrote: “Has the recession gotten to this level in Nigeria, that our singers now wear their table clothes?”
Well, her fans were not having any of the hate and so they replied the actor by bashing him, with one saying he is a depressed fellow whose only getaway is to hate on people.
A Simi’s fan was swift to tackle him: “Says the guy that has one shirt”
Another comment reads: “You’re actually very depressed. I think hating on people is just your escape but this will only push you closer to suicide, try and seek help.”
The singer’s skirt is actually a gingham skirt, which is not quite trendy in Nigerian fashion, which is why people would only familiarize it with the tablecloth, cause it has somewhat the same kinda fabric.
Here are other styles of the skirt, just so you know that it’s not tablecloth but actually a fashionable kinda skirt,
There is currently a huge gas explosion at Atomic Junction, the busy Madina Zongo Junction in Accra Ghana. The explosion occurred around 7:00 pm today, Saturday.
Thousands of students at the University of Ghana are fleeing for their lives following the gas explosion that occurred at the Atomic junction in Accra, few meters away from the school.
Franklin Badu Jnr, a reporter of Citifmonline, who was on campus before the explosion, said “it shook the roofing of the Pentagon hall where I was.”
“There was a huge explosion that shook the Pentagon hall where I was. It appears that the gas flared into the atmosphere and the inferno followed suit. Students numbering thousands are fleeing for their lives.”

There are two gas stations and two petrol and disease stations around the area.
Citi News’ Richard Dela Sky, who is also at Atomic junction where the incident occurred, reported that “it is really terrifying.”
“I can hear piercing sound of gas explosion. I can see a lot of fire tenders here trying to put the fire off. The residual gas in the container is burning. I can still hear sounds of explosion. The whole area has been cordoned off by the police. No vehicle is being allowed to the scene,” he added.

This is certainly not the best of times for Nigerian singer, Davido, as he’s lost two good friends in less than a week.
Just days after losing one of his friends, Tagbo – whose death is still a controversy that’s been trailing the singer – Davido has lost a bosom friend of his, DJ Olu.
DJ Olu is billionaire, Dapo Abiodun’s son and not only is he one of the singer’s bosom friends, who we’ve seen sometimes on his Snapchat hanging out with him, but he’s also his official Disc Jockey, who has been aiding his music performance in shows.
According to reports, DJ Olu was found dead earlier in his car today. Davido, who’s in SA, upon hearing the news, took to social media to pay tribute to his friends and said a prayer for the living.
Shehu Abdullahi, Super Eagles Right back, has been awarded with N1 million and 10 Bags of Rice, after he was voted “Man of the Match”.
The defender who plays for Cypriot side Anorthosis Famagusta, was presented with his win, as the bags of rice, will be donated to a charity of his choice, courtesy of Nigeria Football Federation (NFF)’s new partners, Tropical General Investments (TGI) Group.
Super Eagles secured the 2018 world cup qualification on Saturday evening with a game to spare in Group B with Alex Iwobi’s lone goal in the 74th minute. .
Nigeria now have 13 points at the top of Group and an unassailable six-point lead ahead of Zambia, with one round of games left.
They join other countries like Brazil, Spain, Mexico, England, Germany, Iran, South Korea, etc. who have also booked their places at next year’s tournament.
Ghanaian actor and preacher, Majid Michel has countered the dogmatic claims of Nigerian OAP, Daddy Freeze who’s assertive that tithing in Churches is wrong and not a commandment of God.
Daddy Freeze‘s Instagram, which was once upon a time a place where people would be tormented by the exotic timepieces he showed off, has now become a place for his #FreeTheSheeple movement, where he makes certain principles about modern day Christianity especially in Nigeria.
One of those principles which he stresses on most times is that the act of tithing or paying tithes to Pastors is a form of robbery on the parts of the pastors.
According to Freeze, the commandment of tithing was not for us but for some priests in the old testaments.
Man of God although not ordained, Majid Michel has countered these claims, stating that God has commanded all to pay tithes into his house that food may abound and more importantly for the welfare of the poor.
He however commented that even though some men of God do not use the tithes as commanded, that does not mean we should disobey or rob God by renouncing the payment of tithes.
Freeze has since responded to the actor as he took to his page to share a photo of the actor and wrote:
Dear @majidmichelmm, the leader of the #FreeNation greets you and brings glad tidings.
–
You wrote a piece on tithing that a lot of people tagged me in.
–
Let me address this here, and properly!
–
Although you raised some valid points about your tithe belonging to the poor. I will still say you were still a bit economical with the truth, with regards to giving it to a Church, especially those churches whose GOs own private jets, yet their schools are unattainable to this same poor you are talking about, with many members unemployed, facing serious financial challenges.
–
Acts 4:35 tells us that the disciples shared the offering equally with every believer, yet daddy GOs fly their jets alone; WHY?
–
Listen guys, neglecting the poor and needy, has the dire consequence of Everlasting HELLFIRE! Read from Mat25:32 Not paying tithe has no biblical consequence TO A CHRISTIAN!
–
Malachi 3:8-10 was addressed to the priests, NOT to us, as they were robbing God of the 10% of the tithes they were to bring to the storehouse as instructed in Nehemiah 10:38
–
Paying tithe to a church is NOT a ‘Christian’ practice, as Jesus never collected tithes and our first pastors, the 12 disciples didn’t collect it either.
–
As a matter of fact, tithe was not collected by any church for 600 years after Christ’s crucifixion, so how did tithing find its way into modern day Christianity? Some greedy thieves must have introduced it to favor themselves and their ridiculous jet set lifestyles.
–
Furthermore, your tithe is supposed to be eaten as directed by God in Deut 14:22-26 for the firsts 2 years! It’s the third year’s tithing that belongs to the levites, NOT PASTORS, levites so tithing is not even supposed to be a monthly practice!
–
Also, the church is NOT a building, as many of you are confused into believing please refer to Acts 7:48 and Acts 17:24.
–
YOU ARE THE CHURCH. So the notion of giving tithe to a man on the pulpit, inside a building is absolutely false!
–
Majeed, you are right in the sense that the poor should be given the tithe but why give it to a church if you want it to get to them…… don’t you know any poor people you can give it to directly? ~FRZ
A pretty looking 53 year old plus sized lady has offered Nigerian singer, Timaya, the chance of being her boy toy, after she saw a charming photo of him on Instagram.
The woman, with the name, Gift Chinelo on IG, took to the comment section of the singer to not only laud his good looks and his “strength” but also proposed to him that she be his sugar mummy.
A quick check at Mummy Chinelo’s profile on IG shows that she’s a wild single mother who loves tattoos, loves to travel and is a fashionable businesswoman.
Weddings are meant to be that very special day you’ve waited your whole life for, you’d definitely do anything to make that day special yeah? But when the ceremony seems to want to clash with the education you’ve been pursuing for years, what do you do ?!
A lady, a student of Benue State University, Level 300, found herself at that cross road and her response to it is quite awing for every one . The lady, Identified as, Dooshima Kusugh unfortunately had her exam on her wedding day and she who presumably has a flair for her education, won’t let her ceremony hinder it.
It’s quite shocking to everyone cause the said lady took to the exam hall in her wedding dress to sit for her exams when she could’ve been having the time of her life on her special day.
But thinking about it, it’s a ceremony for guests to eat and drink and felicitate with the couple yeah? but the real ceremony will be her marital life with her husband, so maybe leaving the ceremony for an hour or so won’t bite that much or would it?
And judging from the photos, she seems to not be the only having her exam that day cause her bridesmaids who are seen in purple “with pen”, were also probably waiting for the same paper.
Whatever her story is, we’d definitely like to hear… but we know for sure that this lady cherishes her education! All the best to her!
Following their 1-0 win against Zambia, some hours ago, the super Eagles have become the first African team to reserve their place at the forthcoming 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™.
Their latest win in Uyo earned them an unassailable lead at the head of Group B.
Congratulatory messages have begun to fly their way from fans down to the President.
The Confederation of African Football, CAF, too, have sent in via a tweet, their congratulations to the indomitable team, as they acknowledged them of becoming the first African team to qualify for the World Cup.
President Buhari has described Super Eagle’s victory over the Chipolopolo of Zambia at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State as a “very sweet, soothing and a 57th Independence Anniversary gift to the nation,”
Buhari applauded the nation’s senior men’s football team for the feat of making Nigeria the first African country to qualify for Russia 2018 FIFA World Cup tournament, with a match left to play.
As he joined millions of football-loving Nigerians in rejoicing with the players and their coaching crew, President Buhari called on all Nigerians to apply the values of perseverance, resilience, discipline, hard work and team-spirit which propelled the footballers to excel since the beginning of the qualifying matches, to all sectors of national life.
The President promised that the Federal Government will continue to support the team within available resources so that the nation will maximise the unifying potentials of sports in general and football in particular.
He enjoined the entire team and Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) officials to remain steadfast and focused when they begin preparations for the global football fiesta in order to make Nigeria proud.
President Buhari urged public, private organisations and well-meaning Nigerians to continue to assist the Super Eagles as the team heads for a sixth appearance at the summit of football competition.
The President also appreciated the government of Akwa Ibom State for the invaluable support it has been rendering to the football team, describing it as worthy of emulation.
Super Eagles Player, Odion Ighalo, some hours back, shared an Instagram post about their match against Zambia which ended in a win for the super eagles, and a lady took to the comment section to wish him good luck with a kiss emoji.
That seemed natural but only for her to be called out by Ighalo’s wife who apparently wasn’t having any of it – the footballer’s wife took a screenshot of the lady who is @iamhelenbrown’s comment and wrote:
“Bitch always want to show yourself, @iamhelenbrown #shametowomanhood#oloshe”
IMG CRD: IB9JA
A quick check on @iamhelenbrown’s profile shows that she is married and a ‘proud mother of 2 beautiful boys’.
The footballer’s union with his wife, is blessed with three lovely kids, two young lads and one lass.
Nollywood twins, Tracy and Treasure Daniels have been counting their blessings since they joined the Nigerian movie industry. Right now, the duo has added another feather to their caps with the production of a new movie entitled, Unknown Caller.
In this chat, the Ebonyi State-born thespians talk about their career and life as identical twins. Enjoy it.
What are you up to lately?
Generally, we don’t like to put our plans out there because bread is not sold while still in the oven but on display.We work quietly and bring you the outcome. Our skin care products could be mentioned here because it’s ready and available for launch on our birthday on October 21. In fact, that’s the thing we’ve been up to lately.
However, our latest movie and the roles we played in it are also worthy of mention. It was directed by Sir Uchenna Agbo and shot in Enugu State alongside other great talents. The characters we played are Jenifer and Jessica. The movie is very interesting and at the same time challenging. The characters demand acting out a disturbed drug addict, which is far from the kind of roles we’ve played in previous movies.
What do you like about the characters you acted?
Anybody who had watched Unknown Caller would attest to this. However, nothing remains our best for too long, another best is already on the way.
How was your growing up?
I could say we were born with silver spoon, but I would rather say with golden spoon. Our parents are members of the clergy; we grew up in a parsonage which I consider a privilege because that’s what has shaped us into who we are today.
What childhood experiences made you cry?
Whenever anybody attempted to separate us or if my twin sister was traveling without me, we would cry or take ill until we were reunited or allowed to go on the trip go together. Also, anytime our dad was traveling back to his pastoral work, we would cry and fall sick as well. That’s how much we cherish our father.
Would you like to change anything in the way you were brought up?
Growing up, our parents were like missionaries. They were always going on transfer or traveling from one state to another and that affected our stability as children. We couldn’t concentrate in one school. We were always the new kids and we also missed our friends. If we had our way, we wouldn’t have accepted that kind of growing up.
What is your most embarrassing moment in Nollywood?
It was when one of us wanted to play smart and switched roles in the movie entitled A friend of Mine. Tracy was supposed to be on set, but she also had a date with her boyfriend on that day. So, we agreed that rather than cancel the date,Treasure would stand in and help shoot her scenes. Little did we know that the director would find us out. Kabat was a very smart person, and good director. We give it up to him.
What is your happiest moment in the industry?
It was the day we premiered our latest movie, Unknown Caller. It was a classy and beautiful event. It practically launched our career to a new level.
Are you in any relationship currently?
Yes, one of us is in a relationship. But we don’t want to discuss our relationships in the media.
Who is your ideal man?
Each of us has different standards for the man we would like to be with. However, we have one common ground; our ideal man must be emotionally stable and financially established. We don’t believe in gender equality. Our ideal man has to be first and foremost, a provider, that’s our culture.
Have you had a disagreement over a man?
We are so discreet about romance. For us, it’s okay that way because it’s very sensitive.
Do you have a crush on anyone in the industry?
I don’t know what would happen if I run into Kit Harington (Jon Snow) of Game of Thrones or if my twin sister runs into Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lanister) also in Game of Thrones.
Can both of you marry one man?
Why marry one man when many guys would be left heart-broken after our marriage? We can at least make it one guy less broken (laughter). Never, we can’t marry one man. Each of us would have her own husband. It doesn’t matter if they are strangers, brothers, friends or twin brothers.
Do you get sexual advances from married men who see you on screen?
It would be an obvious lie for any girl in our position to say no to this question. But remember these are not just admirers, but fans and fans are the ones who determine our ability to sell and how we are rated in our career. So, we have to make them remain loyal even if they don’t get through their wishes.
Do you believe that some actresses sleep their ways to the top?
Everything is possible and nothing is new or news. There are fair and fowl means of achieving every set goals and each one comes with a price. Life is about choices and people are free to choose the one they can deal with. No one is better than another, so we don’t pay that any attention. We just follow the path we choose for ourselves; steady and focused till we get there.
What makes you stand out?
More than any thing, I think what makes us stand out or distinguish us from other actresses is the fact that we are identical twins, and pursuing the same career.

Super Eagles squad engaged in a team walk on the streets of Uyo, Akwa Ibom state capital ahead of their crucial 2018 world cup qualifying game against Zambia. The players and the coaching crew also held some “pep” talk during the team’s workout this morning.
With three points separating the two arch rivals, with the Super Eagles topping Group B with 10 points and closely followed by the Chipolopolo with 7 points; the Zambians believe that they can close the gap.
Even though the Super Eagles have all, but qualified for the 2018 World Cup, they must affirm their qualification by beating the Chipolopolo in Uyo; before the final qualifying match against the Desert Foxes of Algeria.
A beautiful Nigerian Lady, with the handle, @beehazel_eyes, has gushed about how a guy with a good stroke game, can make any lady blush.
She might be talking from experience, or just mere sarcasm, but here’s what she tweeted; “Walahi, when you collect good preek, It will definitely show.. You will just be blushing like an idiot. **emoji** **emoji**”
Simi had the time for a “troll” today, after the latter called her out over an outfit she wore for a photo-shoot. She said the outfit looks more or less like a table cloth/school uniform.
The fan wrote; “Simi, this has to stop! You look beautiful but who are this yeye stylists that work with you ehn, what kind of table cloth fabric is this skirt o! @sirdonald_ remember when I was saying it that day in the car. Please fire all of them and get new people, e.g. @tiannahplacempire. As a true fan. Please, you are too talented, beautiful, smart and successful.
…and of course, simi responded to the “said fan”: “I don’t like your hair, but you don’t see me complaining about it love. P.S. You is not a true fan”.
Not backing down, the “fan” stood by her words, and tried convincing Simi that she is indeed a true fan of her works:
“I am a true fan!! It’s the bitter truth. Your stylists can do soooooo much better with your amazing figure! I am telling feedback from the streets. Those around you many not be honest. Thank you for not liking my hair but I am not an award winning musician am I? Take my observation with grace dear.”
A pastor in Ekiti state has been accused of causing injuries to a woman’s private part after conducting a “special type” of deliverance for her after collecting N50,000 from her.
The woman who is suffering from wounds in her private region – claimed it happened after the pastor inserted some substances there during deliverance for fertility. She revealed this in an interview conducted by a journalist, Omo Edema of Voice 89.9FM, Ado-Ekiti.. Read below;
“I live in Lagos. One day, my younger brother called me that there was a prophecy from his Prophet, Prophet Oni Olakanye of CAC Palace of Mercy, Mathew, Olokuta, Ado-Ekiti, that I would need to come down to Ado-Ekiti for prayers concerning my infertility. I have married since 2011, but no child. So I discussed the issue with my husband and he allowed me travel to visit the prophet.
“When I got to the prophet a few days later, he first prayed with me at the church reception. He subsequently called me down into one of the rooms in the mission house where he placed a mirror under my private part—the exercise he called inspection, and later poured some liquid substance in my private part and fingered it in by himself. He therefore took me to bathroom where I bathed on a mortar with a black soap and native sponge while he stood in with me…
“He therefore demanded for N50,000 which I gave to him on the same day.
“Lastly, he gave me a ball-shaped substance to insert into my private part in the bedtime when I get home. I did according to his instructions. However, since then, my private part has been badly affected with wounds without cure yet…” These were the allegations of Mrs. Omowale against Prophet Oni Olakanye of CAC Palace of Mercy, Mathew, Olokuta, Ado-Ekiti.
“I know her, but not all her allegations against me were true. I collected N50,000 to work for her and to ensure she has child in life. The substance I gave her to insert into her private part; she didn’t use it according to my instruction…” The prophet, Oni Olakanye responded.
Head of states, President Muhammadu Buhari has said that he hopes God gives Nigerians the patience to tolerate his government so that they can deliver on all their electoral promises.
He said on Friday when he hosted a delegation of judges led by Walter Onnoghen, chief justice of Nigeria, to the presidential villa in Abuja, on Friday, October 6th.
“I have said it so many times, I don’t mind saying it now to you because some of you may not have even the time to listen to radio or watch television as regularly as other people do. From 1999 to 2014, Nigeria has never realised so much resources since our independence, never, because the average production – go to any renowned financial or economic institution in the world; they know Nigeria produced an average of – (was) 2.1 million barrel per day at an average cost of 100 dollars per barrel. But when we came in it crashed to 37 dollars per barrel, and we overlooked saving and there was no saving. So really, we have just started working and we hope God in his infinite mercy would give Nigerians the patience to tolerate us.” he said
Telcomm Satellite TV has said it’s newly inaugurated pay TV, TSTV Africa, will begin commercial operation on November 1.
Its Managing Director, Mr Bright Echefu, made this known while briefing journalists on Saturday in Abuja.
Echefu added that TSTV would launch its services with about one million decoders nationwide. He said that at least 5,000 decoders TSTV would be released to the public next week for free, adding that it would use the first set of decoders with one month free subscription to test run its services.
“Commercialization of our decoders will resume officially on Nov. 1 and by that time, every part of Nigeria would have TSTV decoders for people to buy.
“We are releasing about one million which can go round and our target for the first quarter is one million units.
“In every quarter we will bring one million units and we are targeting four million units within the next one year.
“I can tell you categorically that some decoders will be released next week for Nigerians to test and we are going to cover the 36 states of the federation.
“These decoders are going to be free and it close to 5,000 units to test and that will last for two weeks,’’ he said.
We brought you the report alongside photos of Emeka Ike’s new found love some hours ago… the actor has said something about the lovely lady.
In a new interview which featured the Nollywood actor, he acknowledges been involved with someone new but plainly refers to her as his friend.
In the interview, the actor is quoted as saying:
‘she’s my friend, that’s all I can say. I’m matured enough to have a friend. The important thing now is that am happy, and yes she’s my friend. Emeka Ike’s case is always on fired. Can’t I live in peace? He laughed.
When asked if he has gotten over his ex, he said:
‘she got a divorce illegally to marry another man, after she told her son, she’s going to get married and have kids from another man. I believe she’s married now though . That’s not my problem, I have begged her severally to come back and she refused. I haven’t divorced her though, but we are no more together’.
Ladies and gentlemen, it seems it’s the lookalikes season though, as of late, we’ve been seeing people who have striking resemblances with our favourite celebrities.
Some weeks back, we met with the lookalikes of singer, Korede Bello and actress, Funke Akindele. Now, we’ve stumbled upon BBN’s Bisola’s own and we’re indeed thrilled!
This lady looks so much like the ONE ambassador, that we cam barely differentiate between her and Bisola in the photo below:
A retiree, Mary Torkwase Antom, 58, from Tse Baraku Benue State, has taken a bold step to immortalize her late husband and late son’s names by marrying a 27-year-old lady.
She and her husband, Patrick, a retiree of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, were blessed with only one child, Thomas Awuhe, who was was in SS2 when he died in 2004. A year later, her husband also died.
So she made the move to secure not only the family name but also its property. A friend later told her about a pretty young unmarried lady, Juliet Muese, who was on the verge of being disowned by her parents over her inability to identify the person responsible for her pregnancy.
Mrs. Antom then sought Juliet’s hand in marriage for her dead son, in keeping with Tiv tradition. The parents of Juliet also readily agreed. “What I did is a well-known practice in our place and culture,” she said in defence.
“There are a lot of children, almost 18% of them born after their father’s death. These children answer their father’s name.” The marriage that took place in 2007, has produced two boys with the third child on the way.
“Juliet is comfortable answering my son’s name. She wrote JAMB and I’m processing her admission to the Federal University, Lafia,” she said,
On her part, Juliet says: “I have no problem, in fact I’m doing better than those who got married to living husbands. Hajia is planning to buy a car for me next year if I secure a university admission.
As you can see, I’m looking sweet and people toast me a lot, but I shun them. At the moment, I have a boyfriend who is a student at the state university, Keffi. My second son’s biological father who is a student at Keffi is married.
He is equally responsible for this very one l’m carrying, but he cannot come and claim them. So, there is no problem. I’m good to go.”
The village head in Doma LGA, Chief Angbande Hue, said what happened is a known tradition among his people, adding that the tradition was very rampant in the 60s.
Traditional ruler, Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi paid a visit to Umuahia, the capital city of Abia state to preach the nation’s unity.
In his quest of preaching unison of the country, Oba Ogunwusi renamed the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) as Indigenous People of Brighter Nigeria (IPOBN), saying the youths that constitute the membership of the group should not be discarded.
He further expressed disappointment on the proscription and tagging of IPOB a terrorist group adding that they were just youths crying against the injustice in the country.
He said:
“There is something that is bothering them that is making them to cry. We should not throw them away; we should draw them closer (because) the youths of this country are the future, the energy. They are the heart beat of this country,” he stated.
He said the youths have a lot of energy which could be channeled to something positive adding that the youths would always have his support.
“We must chart the course of doing things with positive energy. I want to let you know that you are not alone in this; we stand by you positively in a very progressive manner. We stand by you that we all must come together to build a united Nigeria. We don’t want any war; we don’t want any disintegration,” he added.

Speaking in an interview with LIB, the veteran actor sees the possibility of the duo getting back together but asks that the public eye shouldn’t be fixed at them so they’d be able to resolve their differences.
In his own words:
