Hushpuppi has replied Deji Adeyanju, a member of the People’s Democractic Party, who called for his arrest during a protest for the extradition of Diezani in front of the headquarters of EFCC yesterday.
Deji who spoke to some journalists, asked the EFCC to go after Hushpuppi, calling him a Fraudster, who spends lavishly.
Hushpuppi who has never revealed or disclosed his source of wealth, took to his Instagram-story to react to the call. Below is what he shared.
DBanj, who just recently welcomed a child with his wife, has put a troll in his place, after the latter advised him to quit music.
The troll, Identified as “Iamgreatking” said: “Sign an artist who’s is ready to take over the world and be a godfather it will ay more because you have passed the level of going back to it is not really a good thing”.
Then DBanj who apparently, is not on social media to play, replied by saying:
“You clearly have no idea what I am about. What @creamplatform and my movement are about, yet you feel the need to air an unsolicited opinion.
So keep quiet son. Educate yourself with facts before you stray to my page and exhibit your pile ineptitude. I am not as thirsty as you to impose my thoughts on others.
Maybe one day when you finally become that ‘great king’ you hope to be, I would pay for your counsel if it comes with wisdom and well sought knowledge. But till then my brother take several seats back and crawl into your whole. YOU ARE SAYING TRASH!!!”
A 25-year-old man from Delhi, Mustakeem Ahmad, who works as a cook at a restaurant, has been arrested on charges of killing his colleague.
The accused, shot dead his colleague from Myanmar for reportedly introducing him to smoking that led him to get throat cancer later.
As per a report published in Hindustan Times, Ahmad told his interrogators that he allegedly hated his victim so much that he purchased a pistol and practised firing to ensure that he did not miss his target.
The victim, Inayat, had been working as a cook at a restaurant in west Delhi and Ahmad too had been offered a chef’s job at the restaurant that was owned by Ahmad’s brother-in-law.
Reportedly, Ahmad began smoking cigarettes and took to marijuana, allegedly under the influence of Inayat.
“In the course of time, Ahmad developed throat infection, forcing him to consult a doctor. Ahmad has claimed that the doctor told him he had developed throat cancer due to excessive smoking,” said the DCP.
A Nigerian Lady identified as Blessing Chinny John as written a piece to all women all over the world.. Read Below;
MUMU WOMEN EVERYWHERE!!!
I visited a hospital sometime ago and the nurses were holding hands in prayers and releasing curses unto a particular man.
“Daniel, you will never hear the cry of a baby in your house!! You will never have a male child!, you will die in misery! Curse be your means of livelihood, curse be on the air you breathe and the ground you march upon, we release spiritual balistic missiles upon you, we command hell to rise against you”, and all their usual bla bla bla….
After the prayer, I enquired to know what offense such man committed for deserving such intense prayers and curses.
Daniel’s wife had just died few hours back in that hospital. She gave birth to a female child the first and second time, Daniel was not happy and was threatening to throw her away and get another wife capable of bearing male children.He started maltreating his wife, dating girls in her presence, keeping late nights and sleeping out at will, while his wife kept visiting one pastor to another, praying and fasting for a baby girl and for her husband’s love.
Well, she put to bed yet another baby girl the third time and the husband went gaga, demanding she leaves his house with her girls, that his house cannot be turned into a female hostel.
Our sister countinued to pray and inviting people to calm the husband to still be patient with her and to give her another opportunity to produce “baby Jesus” for the King’-husband.
The forth Labour which was the day I visited the hospital, her BP was high for fear of bringing forth another baby girl. The nurses said she was in sorrow and agony throughout the Labour period not for the Labour pains but for the sex of the baby.
She pushed baby out, and asked for the sex, as soon as she was told it was a girl, she shouted “my husband will kill me” , and she died.
Hmmmmm!! I told the nurses their prayers was a waste. The husband didn’t kill her. She killed herself. How could a fellow human being reject you and four beautiful children, and you too rejected yourself as well and most painfully those defenseless little children. She brought them into the world just to abandon them to misery.
I said the prayers should be directed to her to rot in the hottest part of hell. She was a foolish being for dying because of a man and a marriage.She was working and earning money, and even if not, why can’t she leave the beast- man, rent her own house and move in with her children to love and care for her angels?
Who says a woman’s life should revolve around a man? Who says a woman cannot have a life outside a man? Why do women rate their lives according to cultural and societal constructs and dictates?
I told them that man will marry another woman and would have plenty male children and will prosper and move on with his life. Such people don’t suffer anything, consider reality, look arround and see.
It is you the woman who is at lost. You gambled with your life and you lost. No one can mess with your life unless you permitted it. You are solely responsible for what your life becomes. Stop blaming your spouse, it is your foolishness and mumurity. Love yourself and your children……… Children are blessings
Grow up women!
Ghanaian actress of Nigerian and Ghanaian descent, Yvonne Okoro, has disclosed that at her age, she still lives with her parents because she is not married.
In an interview with Delay on August 27, 2017 which was aired on GHOne TV, the talented actress said that her parents will not let her move out unless she has found her husband.
The 32-year-old screen goddess also revealed that her parents are very traditional when it comes to relationships, which is why she cannot introduce a man to them unless she is in a serious relationship with him.
She said:
“It will be tough to move out of my parents house. I wanted to move out way back then but because they are very traditional and conservative they said no. They said it is only right to move out after a man comes for my hand in marriage..,”
Recall, Yvonne recently revealed that she was romantically involved with someone outside the showbiz industry, but kept mute on his identity.
She opined that the state of many celebrity relationships has left her cautious about her own romantic life, hence her decision to keep silent about it.
She noted due to the industry’s ability to make personal matters easily known by just a click of a button, she would rather ‘spoil herself outside’ and keep that part of her life away from the industry.

Malaysian-Based Nigerian Big Boy, Hushpuppi is reminiscing about the time he and his brother jumped buses from one buses to another, when they were quite younger.
Read His Full Post Below;
So my friend came to pick me up so we can go watch the MayWeather-Conor fight, That’s how the driver was opening rolls royce door for me anyhow back and forth as we make stops, so there was this point I just got into the car and started laughing out loud and my friend asked me what was funny, I looked at him and got laughing more.
I said to him, for whatever reason I don’t know why my mind flashed back to when me and my younger brother used to close from primary school and will walk to the nearest bustop with our torn school uniforms and be asking people in buses, bros or auntie please lap me.
Most of the times we and my brother would reach home separately then my friend looked at me and said what’s funny about that then I looked at him and said, now I can afford a rolls royce and we started laughing together.
I know a lot of y’all out there can relate with this story, a lot of you have your struggles in the past or even presently, just know it don’t start good don’t mean it won’t end good, your destiny is in your own hands, take charge of it and rewrite your destiny. U was born poor don’t mean u have to die poor, there’s always a chance for you to become better.
May God bless all the strangers that have helped me one way or the other as a child struggling through those hard times, that’s why I don’t stop helping people either I know them or not.
An activist, Deji Adeyanju has called on officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to arrest Malaysian-based Nigerian Big Boy, Hushpuppi, over his lugubrious spending and lavish lifestyle.

According to Deji, “Hushpuppi is just a 419, he flies private jets and EFCC is not doing anything about it”.

A bullion van loaded with an unspecified amount went up in flames Tuesday under Ojota bridge, Lagos
Report said that the van was driving inward toll gate, apparently to disburse the money in some banks when the unexpected happened.
The exact cause of the fire which occurred at about 2.30pm could not be immediately ascertained.
An eye witness , Mrs Moji Maitani, said:
“I was driving home when all of a sudden the vehicle directly in front of me veered to another lane. I quickly applied the break to avoid what the motorist attempted to dodge, only to discover that a vehicle was on fire. On further observation, it was discovered to be a bullion van. Its occupants rushed out and were flagging other motorists to demand for fire extinguisher. But I could not stop, in order not to be trapped in any disaster.”
Some eye witnesses said that the money stalked inside the van was completely burnt as the escorts could not go near the van, owing to the flames. Others however, said that some cash was evacuated before the van was engulfed by fire.
Managing Director, Lagos State Emergency Management Emergency, LASEMA Mr Tiamiyu Adesina who confirmed the incident, said officials of Lagos State Fire Service arrived the scene to put out the fire.

Barring a last minute change, the police will arraign the notorious kidnapper, Chukwudi Onwuamadike a.k.a. Evans, today on 52 charges.
It was learnt that the charges bordered on murder, kidnapping, armed robbery and unlawful possession of firearms.
It was learnt that Evans would be arraigned alongside his gang members at the Lagos State High Court.
A senior police officer, who confided the development in one of Punch correspondents, said Evans would face similar charges at the Edo State High Court.
The source said, “Investigation into crimes committed by Evans has been concluded before the expiration of the 90 days remand order granted by the Federal High Court. “Evan’s first case is the kidnap of Mr. Donatus Dunu in Ilupeju, Lagos whom he collected N150m ransom from.
The case will be coming up in Ikeja High Court 18 before Justice Oshodi on Wednesday (today).
“Evans and 15 of his gang members have so far been arrested and are facing 14 substantive cases (10 in Lagos and four in Edo State), carrying 52 charges of multiple murders, armed robberies, kidnappings, unlawful possession of firearms, unlawful possession of ammunition, among others.”
The source stated that the charges were prepared by the Force Legal Department and the Lagos State Directorate of Public Prosecutions before the state High Court and Edo State High Court Benin.
“Wednesday’s case is one of the 14 cases. Evans and five of his gang members who participated in Mr. Donatus Dunu’s kidnapping will be arraigned.
“The remaining 13 cases relating to 13 more victims and other gang members of Evans not yet arraigned will come up on subsequent dates that the respective high courts and Federal High Court will schedule,” he added.
However, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Olarinde Famous-Cole, confirmed that Evans would be arraigned before a Lagos State High Court in Ikeja on Wednesday (today).
The police on June 10, 2017, arrested the kidnap kingpin in Lagos after five years of trailing him.
Ugandan Ethics Minister, Simon Lokodo, said on Tuesday that a committee to eradicate pornography in the country has started work.
Lokodo said that the government blamed sexually explicit materials for everything, from drug abuse to homosexuality.
The minister said that the nation will invest roughly 500 million dollars yearly to stop “one of the deadliest moral diseases in the country”.
Lokodo, a former Catholic priest, blamed porn for “escalating cases of drug abuse among youths, incest, teenage pregnancy and abortion, homosexuality and lesbianism and defilement.”
“The nine-member investigate team will be outfitted with “top-end gadgets” to monitor or intercept the downloading, watching, sharing or transmission of pornographic material.
“In addition, inspectors will be assigned to conduct on-the-spot checks for pornographic material.
“The team will also be supported by 30 to 40 technical and administrative staff and anyone caught distributing or using pornographic material would be handed over to the police,’’ the minister said.

The little boy’s father, Theodore Okwu Ejike Ekechi, who shared the photos on Facebook, wrote:
The Pontiff, Thierry Ekechi and Blessing of the Pope……

Thierry the Blessed Child…….
It was like a fairy tale or a providential coincidence last Wednesday, when His Holliness, oblivious of our earlier trauma of missing and later finding our son, beckoned on little Thierry Okenze Aguguom TOE-EKECHI for blessing when we were received in General Audience at the Pope Paul VI Hall, Vatican City. He prayed & blessed all of us…

Controversial Nigerian Senator, Dino Melaye has included himself among the nation’s leaders who have failed Nigeria and the younger generation.
Speaking as a panelist at The Osasu Show Symposium in Abuja on Friday, he said politics being played by the elite is responsible for poverty and hunger in Nigeria, and both ills have no political party.
In his own words,
‘when you speak the truth, you die, when you lie, you die; so it is better to speak the truth and die. I may sound very unpopular but I will speak the truth. Apart from militocracy, politics is responsible for poverty and hunger in Nigeria. Unfortunately, we the leaders, myself inclusive, have failed this nation and have failed the younger generation myself inclusive’.
He continued to explain saying,
‘the reason why we are where we are today is because there is a disconnect between leadership and followership. As I speak to you, the problem why we are where we are is because of trust. There is no trust between the governed and those governing. Once there is no trust between the followership and the leadership, it will definitely have a negative concomitant effect on the economy, and every other facet of our national life.”
The Senator added that the problems facing Nigeria is not the political parties, and must be tackled by everyone,
‘hunger and poverty have no political party, hunger and poverty have no religion. To have brought people to discuss on the line of APC or PDP is not correct, because the poor PDP man and the poor APC man all go to the same market’, he said.
In a chat with Saturday Beats, Nigerian actress, Angela Okorie, who turned a year older last week, has revealed that the pictures she posted on social media could have been her last or worst still would have had the caption, ‘Rest In Peace’, instead of ‘Happy Birthday’.
The Screen diva who as usual celebrated her birthday with the underprivileged said that she was accosted by men of the underworld after her charity event.
She said:
“I am grateful to God for life. I am a humanitarian and I am always happy whenever I give back to the society. That was why I celebrated my birthday with the underprivileged.
My brother was driving and since the road was rough, he had to slow down because of a pothole. All of a sudden, he just told me to bend my head in the car because I was not concentrating. By the time I would realise what was happening, some armed robbers had double crossed us and they alighted from their cars with guns. They approached our car and cocked their guns, ready to shoot.
They almost shot us but before we knew it, some officers of the Nigerian Customs Service showed up from nowhere. They intervened and immediately, my brother seized the opportunity to zoom off. That was how we were saved.
I believe it was God that sent those Customs guys to us because they were not on the road and they came out from nowhere. When I saw the robbers, I was scared but I had faith in God. I wonder what would have happened if God was not on my side.”
Nigerian Singer/Rapper, Olamide Adedeji, popularly known as Olamide Badoo, has revealed that he dropped out of the university because his parents could not afford his school fees.
He disclosed that he was able to make it in life by discovering his talent and by an endless hardwork. He also identified discipline, commitment and being focused as catalysts for achievements in life.
According to Punch, the ‘Wo’ crooner who was a special guest of honour at the Summer camp organised by the Ogun State government at Akin Ogunpoola Model College, Akinale in Ewekoro Local Government Area of the state on Friday, said he was determined to succeed in life against all odds, given the stark reality that his parents were poor, and were not able to pay his school fees at the higher institution.
He said:
“I am from Ogun State here, I do not joke with my culture and language, in fact, I came from a poor background. I had to drop out of Tai Solarin University of Education, Ijagun, Ijebu Ode, when it was getting difficult for my parents to pay my school fees.
However with doggedness, perseverance and hard work I was able to find myself where I am today.”
He urged the pupils at the camp to always dare to be different and avoid unnecessary peer pressure.
Earlier in his brief introduction of the guest to the campers, the state Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, who was represented by the State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Otunba Dayo Adeneye, advised the young boys and girls to be diligent, hardworking and be consistent in whatever they do.
He also urged them to strive for the best in their academic pursuit.
While he told the youngsters to extend the knowledge gained at the camp to their kith and kins, the governor promised that his administration remained committed to the development of education.
He said the sector would remain paramount in the scheme of things in the state.

As usual, most Nigerians who have no chill sent her quite a number of negative comments as some referred to her as ‘Ugly’.
Although, the post was received with positive comments too acknowledging her talents.

Popular comedian and father of one, Seyi Law, who, last month, was involved in a messy internet spat with controversial blogger, Kemi Olunloyo, when the latter went on the Internet to claim that Seyi’s daughter is obese.
However, the duo have finally reached a truce as they both took to their social media pages to declare a ceasefire.
In a chat with Sunday Scoop, the ace comedian explained why he decided to bury the hatchet.
He said
“I didn’t have anything personal against Kemi Olunloyo; I only responded as a father because I would do anything to protect my daughter. Kemi recorded a video in which she begged my daughter to forgive her and that’s okay by me. It means she understands that she did something wrong and she is trying to make amends,” .
Meanwhile he also revealed his reason why he would not be staging his comedy show, Fast and Funny, this year,
Seyi Law said,
“I have been very busy lately and as a result of that, I haven’t been able to work on organising the show. Though I have a team that works together with me in planning, my schedule hasn’t made it convenient for me.”
Undefeated champion, Floyd Mayweather has extended his unbeaten run to 50-0 as he trounced his opponent Conor McGregor in the 10th round.
Floyd Mayweather extended his perfect career record to 50 fights unbeaten by stopping Conor McGregor in the 10th round of one of the richest fights in boxing history.
At a packed-out T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, the former five-weight world champion faced flurries of early punches from UFC’s most iconic figure, who was making his debut in professional boxing.
McGregor delivered a crisp uppercut in round one and, though he edged close to breaking rules with several punches to the back of the head, he imposed himself admirably without ever looking as though he would knock out Mayweather.
The American, who came out of retirement for a potential $300m (£230m) pay day, executed a gameplan which pounced on McGregor’s lack of conditioning for the late rounds which prove so key on big fight nights.
As the Irishman tired, Mayweather upped his ferocity and by round nine the 40-year-old began to stalk his opponent, whose legs were weakening under more successful shots.
And in the 10th, with McGregor again near the ropes and offering little, the fight – which followed weeks of manic build-up, spiteful words and chaos – was over.
Referee Robert Byrd’s stoppage may have arrived too early for some, as McGregor’s early effort meant he was in the contest on the scorecards.
But the 29-year-old was wilting. His effort and display should be commended, but Mayweather’s poise and invincibility remains constant into retirement.
Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has reacted to the Federal Government’s plan to revoke his bail.
The Attorney General of the Federation and Chief Justice of Nigeria, Abubakar Malami, filed an application at the Federal High Court Abuja yesterday, asking the court to revoke Kanu’s application because he has disobeyed his bail conditions. Kanu was granted bail on April 25th and was released from Kuje prison on April 28th.
Reacting to the news of the planned revocation of his bail, Kanu who spoke through his lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, said the application by the Federal government is misconceived. Ejiofor who had an interview with Premiumtimes, said,
“Though we intend to file a formal response to their most misconceived motion, it is my position that it does not lie in the power of the AG to ask for the revocation of the bail granted to my client. The prosecution can’t be seen at the same time as the persecutors. We have successfully challenged the bail terms we considered offensive to our clients constitutionally guaranteed rights. So their recent application is belated. Section 169 of the ACJA being relied upon by the AG can’t avail the Attorney General absolute power to ask for the revocation of bail. Parties must be heard on the merit by the court” he said
According to Ejiofor, Kanu did not go against the Constitution in the creation of IPOB’s “security outfit” known as the Biafra Secret Service BSS. According to Ejiofor, BSS is a “mere group” formed in the exercise of Kanu’s constitutional right.
“Let the federal government open their case if they have any genuine charge against my client. They are beating about the bush because they have no case against my client,” Mr. Ejiofor said.
Speaking further, Kanu’s lawyer said,
“Let me remind the public that the main essence of bail is to ensure that the person affected stands his trial and nothing more. Our client is ready to stand his trial but the federal government is not willing to open their case, they are rather interested in keeping my client behind bars which can’t happen again.”
Chocolate City Boss, MI Abaga, has in a new interview with Saturday Beats, shared why it took him so long to drop a new album and how he sees being compared to some big-weights in the Nigerian music industry, as a compliment.
In his own words:
“The truth about it is that the CEO work has been harder than I thought and it has taken a lot of time from me. Also, when you become a brand, you have brand commitments as well. My contract with Glo expired this year even though I have been working with them for seven years and I had been their ambassador for five years. We had to go for interviews, tours, shoot commercials, then you come back and you do the same thing for Martel. Then, I have friends that would want you to feature in their concerts. So, as a brand, it became tougher. Once an artiste gets to the point where he becomes a brand, it becomes tougher for him.
“I have about five projects in my heart that I want to do because I am getting older and once I am done with that I would probably leave,” he said.
Speaking on effortlessly remaining relevant in the industry and being compared to the successful younger acts in the industry, M.I says,
“I am ten years in the industry since my first song came out in Lagos in 2007 because that’s when Crowd Mentality was released. It is an ultimate compliment for me to be compared with the likes of Olamide, Phyno, Ice Prince and others that came out after me. If you think about my first five years, I was really hot but as you get older, you get tired of saying some things. It is very hard for me to write a song about being in the club. If you hear some certain artistes sing about being in the club, you would say that you’d prefer a younger artiste to sing about that,” he said.
Popular Nigerian TV Show host, Frank Edoho and his estranged wife, Katherine Obiang, went their separate ways after their 7-year marriage hit the brakes about six years ago.
Katherine had then, accused him of subjecting her to domestic violence while they were together, the Who-Wants-To-Be-A-Millionaire anchor has now for the first time spoken on the issue, deny the allegations.
He was prompted to do this after he had an argument with one of his followers – Frank had shared a tweet on Floyd Mayweather and Mcgregor Connor’s fight later tonight, and his follower had something to say… things got rocky and then the follower’s trump card was to hit Frank with the “wife beater” thingy and left him with no choice than to address the issue.
Frank says people who know him know he can never hurt a lady.

This moment is just too adorable and we can’t get enough of it – Nigerian dancehall singer, Patoranking who welcomed a child with his British baby mama recently, shared this overly cute photo of himself carrying his child with his baby mama looking on.
This is the first child for the singer as he debunked the reports that the young lad, Raphael, he’s usually seen with is not his kid but his brother.
He said in a Twitter interview, after he was asked if the kid was his son, ‘he is my youngest brother & No, I don’t have a child.’
Congratulations to him though!
