A 42-year old fake doctor, John Anopuem, has been arrested by members of the Lagos state police at his shop which is located at Seriki Aro street, Ikeja, Lagos.
The suspect who was paraded by the State Commissioner of Police, Imohimi Edgar at Ikeja, Lagos, confessed that he has no idea of the number of patients that may have died from the wrong prescriptions he administered.
He also confessed that he usually administered drugs through guesswork. Sometimes it worked and at other times it was harmful to the patients which might result in death.
He said:
“It was a mistake I made and I could not say it was not harmful and I cannot confirm the number of the patients that may have died as a result of the wrong prescription of the drugs.”
In a video that has gone viral on social media, a Nigerian lady was seen advising Nigerian girls to allow their men suck their breasts.
According to her, you shouldn’t call any guy your baby once you know you ain’t gonna allow him suck your breasts.
She also added that sucking of breast cures a lot of sicknesses like malaria, Typhoid, Mouth Odour, Mouth ulcer…lol!
She said:
“Girls, girls why una life be like this, why una life bend like this, so this thing these two oranges wey God put for una chest free of charge wey una nor pay money for na una go dey stingy, You nor know say God put this thing for una chest tey dey feed men…

Speaking during an interactive session with top media practitioners, in Owerri, Imo state Governor, Rochas Okorocha has disclosed that the Igbos play the worst politics in Nigeria.
He said that the Igbos have to change their strategy, in order to reclaim their relevance in Nigeria’s power equation and added that the Hausas can win election without Igbos.
He said:
“Igbos have to change their strategy, in order to reclaim their relevance in Nigeria’s power equation. Quote me anywhere, Igbos play the worst politics in Nigeria. Today, Hausas have realised they can win an election without Igbos.
Hitherto, Hausa used to think they could not win elections without Igbo. Now, they believe with the combined massive populations of Lagos and Kano, they no longer need Igbos to win, hence, the latest alliance between Hausa and Yoruba.
I’ve always said Igbo have this feeling of abandonment. IPOB would have made better impact if they had operated under any other name other than Biafra, to push their demand for equity in sharing of the nation’s political and economic resources.
The call for secession was childish. IPOB should have fought their struggle like the Niger Delta youths, Arewa youths and Yoruba group. Who is Nnamdi Kanu to ask Rochas to follow him to war?
Check it out, no Hausa man living in the South East owns a duplex neither can you see a Yoruba man who lives in a room and parlour apartment of his own or an investment worth N20 million.
But, should Nigeria break up today, Igbos will lose trillions in properties and other investments in Lagos, the North and other parts of the country.
The South South has produced a president, the South West has produced a president and vice president while the North has produced many presidents.
By political calculation, it was expected that very soon, Igbo would have a chance to produce the president, but, the same Igbo want to break away from Nigeria. Where is our wisdom?
Regrettably, IPOB activities has created fears in the minds of Hausa and other ethnic nationalities in the country, that, once Igbo becomes president, they would secede. We should all condemn the call for secession because if Nigeria breaks up, Igbos will lose.”
A businessman, Moses Ojiekomhan, who was before an Ebute-Meta Chief Magistrates’ Court, has revealed that he caught his wife, Joy, in bed with his driver Emeka Osuh, at their Lagos home.
TheNationonline reports are that Ojiekomhan, the Managing Director of Legend Logistics and Integrated Concept Limited, Ikeja, stated this during Joy’s arraignment on a two count-charge of conspiracy and stealing as Joy pleaded not guilty.
The mother of two, through her counsel Mr. J. Uwabuche, accused Ojiekomhan of abducting their 18-month-old baby.
According to the police, in a charge marked G38/2017, last June 30 around 11:30am, Joy, 37, conspired with Osuh, who is now at large, to steal N1,136,400 belonging to Legend Logistics and Integrated Concept.
According to prosecuting counsel, Mr. E. I. Onine, the alleged offences are contrary to and punishable under Sections 411 and 287 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
Uwabuche, who urged the court to admit Joy to bail on liberal terms, said the matter was between husband and wife, and that reconciliation was ongoing between their family members.
This was not opposed by Onine. Before her ruling, Chief Magistrate Helen Omisore turned to Ojiekomhan and sought confirmation of the duo’s relationship.
Ojiekomhan replied:
“We once lived together as husband and wife but we are now separated. They have charged me to court for child abduction. I caught Emeka, who is a driver in my company, sleeping with her in my house.”
The prosecutor added that police investigation found that the two were once husband and wife, but separated after Ojiekomhan found Joy and Osuh in his bed.
Uwabuche, however, pointed out that Ojiekomhan took away their 18-month-old baby from the defendant.
“An Ogba Chief Magistrates’ Court, in Court 4, has even issued a warrant of arrest against him,” the defence counsel said.
He stated that Joy’s arraignment was a ploy by the police to prevent her from appearing in court today to testify as a witness on the child abduction charge against him.
Following the conflicting claims, Magistrate Omisore called for the case file, examined it, and ruled on the defendant’s bail.
She said:
“The defendant is hereby granted N500,000 bail with two sureties in the like sum. One of the sureties must be a relative to the defendant, have three years tax certificate payable to the Lagos State government. Both the home and office addresses of the sureties must be verified by the prosecutor.”
Two men, Ajayi Tosin and Kesiena Tito are presently in contention over ownership of a five-month-old baby, Emmanuel Omkhode Ajayi in Warri, Delta State.
The duo who are laying claim to the child delivered by an eighteen-year-old girl deepened the matter after Ajayi was allegedly arrested over the weekend following a petition of “Threat to Life” instituted by Kesiena to the Nigeria Police Area Command.
In an exclusive Chat with DAILY POST, Tosin Ajayi, a twenty three year old barber claimed to have cohabited with Blessing Iroroteh since 2015 before she delivered a bouncing boy this year, 2017 in his house.
Ajayi also claimed that his elder sister was responsible for the medical bills after Blessing was delivered of the baby, delivered.
He stressed that he has been catering for her and the baby, including her mother who came to nurse (Omugo) the baby for two months in his house at Nnewi Street, Akah Avenue in Effurun, Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State.
Ajayi noted that he did the naming as well as dedication ceremony in the presence of her mother who later whisked her (Blessing) away to the home of Kesiena Tito as the owner of the baby.
Ajayi said:
“I was at home when Police came to arrest and took me to the Area Command.”
Ajayi alleged that he was forced to say that he was not the father of the baby at the Police Station by Kesiena’s family.
He added that he was even forced to take N100,000, sign an undertaking to forfeit the child by the Kesiena’s family stressing that, “they even said I should swear affidavit” but I rejected it.
Ajayi insisted that he was the owner of the baby boy saying:
“I am the owner of the baby. I don’t want to sell my child. They should go ahead with the DNA but that other man should pay for it.”
In a contrary view, Kesiena Tito claimed to have dated Blessing, mother of the contending baby boy for five years pointing out that they separated ten months ago over an unresolved issue before she was delivered of the baby at Ajayi’s house.
Kesiena who hails from Ophorigbala Community, Ughelli South Local Government Area stated that he has been responsible for education of Blessing all these years.
Kesiena insisted that he is the owner of the child saying:
“We were dating before for the past five years before she left me for. The baby is my own.”
Blessing Iroroteh stated that she left Kesiena’s house to Ajayi’s house because she felt he (Kesiena)will not accept the pregnancy and the baby.
Blessing also stated that her mother was aware that the child does not belong to Ajayi but she came there to do “Omugo” and partook in the dedication.
DAILY POST gathered, however, that the Police at the Area Command in Warri has ordered that DNA be carried out to ascertain the true owner of the child or that the matter be referred to court.

Lawyer representing leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has said he hasn’t communicated with his client since September 14, when Mr. Kanu’s Abia State home was allegedly invaded by soldiers.
The lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, reacting to reports that Mr. Kanu had gone into hiding said “my client has probably been killed” – Kanu was last seen in public on September 10, after his supporters clashed with soldiers.
Mr. Ejiofor said Mr. Kanu was abducted, and claimed that reports that his client had gone into hiding were merely aimed at “diverting the attention of the public”.
He’s quoted as saying:
“I have no doubt whatsoever that stories making round that my Client has fled outside Nigeria, were planted to divert attention from their murderous raid on my client’s house. I made last contact with my client few minutes into the bloody onslaught in his home on the 14th day of September 2017. Till date, I have not established further communication with him.
“The soldiers must have made possible contact with him on this 14th day of September 2017, when they invaded his house on a bloody raid, and by virtue of which position, they should tell the world if he was caught by fire of bullets in the hit of the bloody onslaught or he was arrested alive.
“In all probability, my client may have been killed by the invading soldiers who are now seeking ways to fool the world into believing that he has left the country. My request is that the military should produce my client wherever they kept him and stop diverting attention of the public,” Mr. Ejiofor said.
A woman has been caught by CCTV camera walking into a Church and stealing bags, phones and car keys of some of it’s members.

Still on the matter of East African couple, Diamond Platnumz and Zari Hassan, the latter has, after reports that trailed her marriage yesterday, reacted to the reactions she’s been receiving.
The lovely took to her Instagram to say that people should look at the whole thing on a brighter side – she says those who cheat end up realizing that they played themselves and not you.
She’s quoted below:
“Am such an early morning person as some can see on my snap, usually up by 5am. Let’s start this day on a different note, shall we. Ladiesand gentlemen I’ve heard you loud and clear, the advises, the consolation, the pity, the hurt you feeling on my behalf most of all the betrayal. But let’s look at this on the positive side. When a person chooses to cheat on you it’s not YOU actually its THEM which usually turns out that they played themselves while they thought they are playing you. You should never look down on yourself, don’t ever think you are worthless because of another person’s mistake & never blame yourself. But always look at how to pick yourself up and get going. That said, with my birthday approaching let’s put all this negative energy behind us and appreciate, LIFE!”

A Nanny in Namibia identified as Laila, is facing serious charges of attempted murder, after she was caught on camera violently throwing a baby into a cot.
According to reports, the child’s mother, Annemarie Theron had set up a hidden camera in her home after she noticed bruises on her nine-month-old daughter Laila’s neck, shoulders and under her feet.
the nanny had been in the care of her nanny since May this year.
Footage captured by the camera appears to show the family’s nanny manhandling the tot, tossing her into her cot like a rag doll.
Devastated mum Annemarie told news websites Netwerk24 & Rekord:
“It was very emotional watching it. I refused to sleep, eat or drink for a couple of days afterward.
“It’s difficult to imagine how long this has been going on for. I can see Laila is so, so broken after everything.
“In July, I had noticed some marks under Laila’s feet but never suspected our nanny. In August, I noticed my baby had marks on her arms and neck.
“This was when I started to monitor the situation closely.
In the beginning of September, my husband, Johan was home for two days. He told me that Laila feared our nanny.”
Hence, the Theron family decided to install cameras.
Last week, Annemarie noticed that Laila had an egg-shaped bump on her forehead and her eyes were swollen from crying.
“The nanny told us that she fell out of her walker. If she was crying that badly, why did she not phone me?”
A friend assisted Annemarie in downloading an application that allowed her to see the footage from her phone.
Annemarie and her husband Johan informed police and the nanny was arrested on Friday.
She appeared in court on Monday to face charges of child abuse, assault and attempted murder. She was denied bail and remanded in custody until October.
Annemarie told RekordEast.co.za that the nanny requested a visit from her.
“I did go and see her. She asked me to forgive her. She said it only happened one time. If it only happened once, why all the bruises?
“My response was that I had a duty as mother to look after my children. I told her that I could not forgive her.”
Serena Wiliams took to her fiance’s platform, Reddit, to post an emotional letter to her mom. It reads:
“Dear Mom, You are one of the strongest women I know. I was looking at my daughter (OMG, yes, I have a daughter ?) and she has my arms and legs!
My exact same strong, muscular, powerful, sensational arms and body. I don’t know how I would react if she has to go through what I’ve gone through since I was a 15 year old and even to this day.
I’ve been called man because I appeared outwardly strong. It has been said that that I use drugs (No, I have always had far too much integrity to behave dishonestly in order to gain an advantage).
It has been said I don’t belong in Women’s sports — that I belong in Men’s — because I look stronger than many other women do. (No, I just work hard and I was born with this badass body and proud of it).
But mom, I’m not sure how you did not go off on every single reporter, person, announcer and quite frankly, hater, who was too ignorant to understand the power of a black woman.
I am proud we were able to show them what some women look like. We don’t all look the same. We are curvy, strong, muscular, tall, small, just to name a few, and all the same: we are women and proud!
You are so classy, I only wish I could take your lead. I am trying, though, and God is not done with me yet. I have a LONG way to go, but thank you. Thank you for being the role model I needed to endure all the hardships that I now regard as a challenges–ones that I enjoy.
I hope to teach my baby Alexis Olympia the same, and have the same fortitude you have had. Promise me, Mom, that you will continue to help. I’m not sure if I am as meek and strong as you are yet. I hope to get there one day. I love you dearly. Your youngest of five, Serena.”
A Nigerian Lady on Facebook, identified as Olatayo Gold, has called out a home wrecker who apparently, has been sleeping with sister’s husband, and is bent on breaking their home.

Nigerian singer-sound engineer, Simisola Bolatito Ogunleye, has released her sophomore album entitled ‘Simisola’.
Ever since the release of the album, there has been various reactions to the song she did with her alleged boyfriend, Adekunle Gold.
The 29-year-old singer said there is no special reason for featuring only Adekunle Gold on the album.
According to her: “The only reason why I featured just Adekunle Gold on the album was because after recording all the songs, the only song that had a feature and that made the final list is the one that Adekunle Gold was featured on”.
The Love don’t care sensation also stated that the society is harder on women who cheat. Hear her:
“Nobody is allowed to cheat in a relationship, but they do it any. If a man cheats he’s scum, if a woman cheats, she’s scum.. Obviously, people are harder on women, if it happens to a woman.
“The society is harder on women who cheat. I think that is ridiculous. I feel like If you value what you have , If you value someone you are with, you are going to do your best to treat them right. It’s the same for both a guy and a girl.
“It’s a man’s world because we let it be a man’s world. Its not a man’s world because they have any special powers. Its not a woman’s world because we have any special powers, we are all supposed to be good to each other. I am supposed to value you as a man and you are supposed to value me as a woman.
So, you think you know Linda Ikeji? Perhaps you follow her blog, her gossip, and the oft-trending Linda Ikeji TV panels where her media personalities discuss topical issues, from domestic violence to Bobrisky. Well, have have compiled 5 facts many fans do not know about her, in time for her 37th birthday.
The top blogger changed the face of blogging in Nigeria. Recently, she announced that she is set to launch her own TV station which reportedly will be streaming on DSTV. And today, her birthday, she is reminding fans that she will be bringing that peculiar blogging magic to the TV station.
While we wait for the much-anticipated take-over, see some of the exciting things about her which she rarely talks about on her blog:
1. She contested for the 2003 Miss Nigeria Beauty Pageant
In 2003, Ikeji was bustling with confidence that she would win the competition. She had gotten all the needed support from famous designers, and knowing her capabilities, especially as someone who had organised a similar competition at the University of Lagos, she was so sure she would emerge a winner.
But she failed. Woefully too. And for a long time, at the event centre, she stood, watching her dreams trickle down the drain.
“I was mostly in a daze, wondering what to do next,” she said. “I’d thought being Miss Nigeria was the best thing that could happen to me. And that dream was gone, and with it, all the great things I could have done or become.”
But she didn’t let that experience kill her spirit. Three years later, she started blogging and today is successful.
2. She once sold beer at the Sheraton Hotel in Lagos
At the age of 19, Ikeji was already dedicated to making a living for herself, and so she resorted to selling/promoting Corona beer at Sheraton hotel, Ikeja. A job that required her to sometimes stand from 2pm to 10pm everyday, for a month.
“[I tried to] convince people to buy the beer cos that was how I got a commission. 1k per day…lol. It was so hard back in the day,” she revealed in an Instagram post. “I hustled so hard. Many didn’t see it but The One who mattered the most saw me and when He was ready to bless me, He took my breath away. God has been awesome.”
3. She wanted to become a TV presenter
Even though she had gone through the rigours of selling beer, and also failing to impress at a beauty contest, Ikeji yearned to become a TV presenter. But she failed to get that opportunity.
Well, here she is today. “I wanted to be a reporter or a TV presenter… now I employ reporters and TV presenters..?,” she said in August. “Instead of working at a TV station, I’m about to own one. God has a way of doing His thing. Just trust him and never depart from him as you go on your journey. And remember, you just can’t beat the person who never gives up.”
4. She is ready to move out of her Banana Island mansion for marriage
In her 2016 interview with Nation, she said she is single not because there are no men around, but because she is yet to find one who is worthy. However, when she eventually finds that lucky, worthy man, she would move out of have N500m mansion and into his home.
5. She still shows love to her arch enemies
Kemi Olunloyo famously started a one-sided war with the blogger, defamed her character on social media, and orchestrated the rumour that former National Security Adviser Sambo Dasuki plunged an incredulous amount into the blogger’s Banana Island home.
But when Kemi was wasting away at the Port Harcourt Prisons, begging for funds from well-wishers, Linda Ikeji was the first Nigerian to respond to that call for help.
“SPECIAL THANKS to @officiallindaikeji #LindaIkeji who secretly donated to my legal expense travel fund. Today I found out she was the very FIRST DONOR on May 16th N100,000,” Kemi Olunloyo wrote on her Instagram after her release from prison. “Thank you Linda. We women in Nigeria should now collectively form a powerful force showing the world that girl power belongs here. Cheers to you Linda!!”
Wife of one of PSquare’s brother, Peter Okoye, Lola Omotayo-Okoye has just broken her silence on the recent PSquare rift..
Though she didn’t mention no names, but then, it’s clear she’s replying the subtle shade by Paul Okoye.
Recall, Paul recently took to his Instagram to drop what seem to be a shade directed at his brother’s wife. He wrote: “Back to naija. Don’t take my silence for granted…. only a woman can come where there’s peace and destroy it. #youknowyourself …try me this time… I swear Nyash go open you will know that blood is thicker and stronger than juju”
Now, here seems to be like a subtle reply from Lola Omotayo-Okoye. She wrote on Instagram.
Good evening my lovelies….please leave footprints of kindness and love wherever you go. Love is the only way and peace of mind is the ultimate goal in this life of ours. Hate has no place in my world, never has, never will..Have a blessed evening!??????????????????

Kenyan socialite, and former Big Brother Africa housemate, Huddah Monroe has issued out a not to her fellow ladies which reads:
“A man is yours when you are with him. When he is out he is ours! We share”
Meanwhile Huddah Monroe has sold off her cars — like, she practically has no car to her name — and the socialite had a funny way of explaining this development.
Writing on her Instagram Story, the former BBA housemate said she sold off the signature Range Rover, plus a second car, all because she thinks she is all grown up and can do without those luxuries.
“When I didn’t have a car it was my biggest priority. Now, it’s an option because I can afford it whenever, without thinking twice,” she began the rant, adding, “But it is not a priority anymore. How incredible life can be.”
She continued, “It’s amazing how things that used to matter don’t matter anymore. Promote what you love instead of bashing what you don’t like.”
President Muhammadu Buhari has addressed the gathering of world leaders at the 72nd United Nations General Assembly in New York, United States.
The President pledged Nigeria’s solidarity to the United Nations and solicited the support of the UN in tackling the challenges facing the country.
“In an exemplary show of solidarity, the international community came together within my own region to assist the countries and communities in the Sahel and the Lake Chad regions to contain the threats posed by Al Qaida and Boko Haram,” he said on Tuesday.
“We thank the Security Council for visiting the countries of the Lake Chad Basin to assess the security situation and humanitarian needs, and for pledging assistance to rebuild lives and livelihoods.
“Indeed, in Nigeria, we are providing relief and humanitarian assistance to millions in internally displaced camps and those afflicted by terrorism, drought, floods and other natural disasters,” he added.
President Buhari also spoke of the efforts of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) in upholding democratic principles in the sub-region.
He said through the collective contribution of member states, the presidential election in The Gambia was conducted successfully.
“Our faith in democracy remains firm and unshaken. Our regional organisation ECOWAS came together to uphold democratic principles in The Gambia – as we had done previously in Cote D’Ivoire,” he said.
On corruption, Buhari said, “Through our individual national efforts, state institutions are being strengthened to promote accountability, and to combat corruption and asset recovery.These can only be achieved through the international community cooperating and providing critical assistance and material support. We shall also cooperate in addressing the growing transnational crimes such as forced labour,
He, however, said, “These can only be achieved through the international community cooperating and providing critical assistance and material support.”
“We shall also cooperate in addressing the growing transnational crimes such as forced labour, modern day slavery, human trafficking and cybercrime.”
The President stressed the need to sustain the cooperative efforts, saying the UN community should collectively devise strategies and mobilise the required responses to stop fleeing ISIS fighters from mutating and infiltrating into the Sahel and the Lake Chad Basin.
Veteran Musician, Eedris Abdulkareem has lambasted both Davido and Mr Eazi, after the latter claimed that Nigerian Musicians are copying his styles.
Reacting to this ‘insolence’ in the #GoldMyneTV studio, Eedris thinks it is pure undiluted pride for Eazi to say this.
“You sound like a Ghanaian and we accepted you because it is still an African vibe, how can you say something like that? That is pride, you are stupid and you are a fool” Eedris blasts the singer who is also the heartbeat of one of Billionaire Femi Otedola’s daughters.
While talking about Eazi, Eedris Abdulkareem digressed to Davido and recollects that time Davido had an issue with the foremost publisher Chief Dele Momodu, he cursed Davido angrily for dissing the elderly man switching to the Yoruba language to make the curses effective.
In reaction, singer Davido has chosen to laugh it off without really saying anything. He dropped by the comment section of Goldmyne Tv’s instagram and wrote; “LMAO”, He also made a comment on instablog, and wrote; “HENJOYING, great guy none the less”
So a Facebook user Adamazi, shared on her page, a quite displeasing chat between a single lady and her ex-boyfriend who is now a married man.
The guy in the chat, Festus (pseudonym), hit his ex-girlfriend, Cynthia (pseudonym) and laid out what he says are his woes with his new wife.
Festus says that his new wife is a boring lady who does nothing but be faithful to him and carry out wife duties accordingly, she’s spiritual, a good mother and all.
And according to Festus, he made a mistake marrying such a virtuous lady and so he hit Cynthia up and explains to her that he wishes he’d not left her alone because of her stubborn attribute – an attribute he claims he can contain.
In a bid to win Cynthia back, he says he’ll divorce his wife if she assures him that she’d marry him if he carried out that action – this caused Cynthia to flare up and revoke him and humbly told him to focus on his marriage.
Way to go Cynthia! Well done! Read their chats below:
Singer, Diamond Platnumz has in light of the scandal trailing him, admitted that he indeed cheated on his baby mama/wife, Zari Hassan with a model Hamisa Mobeto, who has now welcomed a son for him.
Hamisa, who was a vixen for the singer’s hit song “Salome”, had revealed a while back that she was with child for the singer after they had an affair – an allegation he’d however denied the responsibility of.
Speaking during a radio interview today with popular Tanzanian show, Leo Tena, the singer admitted to being the father of the baby boy named Abdul Latif.
And according to him, Zari was aware the whole time of what happened between him and Hamisa while she was busy taking care of her businesses in South Africa.
The singer alleged that he was able to explain to Zari and she was supportive of him, and his mother was the first to visit Hamisa after she gave birth.
He’s quoted as saying:
“These things happen in life but the most important thing is how you deal with it as a man. There is no need of creating a war where there is none. Later on in life, the children will grow up together and they will be happy as a family.”
He however accused his new baby mama of using the situation to destroy his relationship with Zari – he claimed that they had an agreement that he would provide for the child and in return Mobetto would remain silent on the issue so as not to hurt Zari.
Hamisa however disagreed, even after claims to have done everything possible to ensure the baby and her are well taken care off, including buying her a new car and paying an allowance.
Now Zari on the other hand, has come out to react to his statement of her being aware of his infidelity – in a Snapchat post some moments ago, she calls him out about the lies he’s telling the media.
She says he should fix the mess he’s in rather than tell lies… She further threatens him, as she says he should educate himself with “defamation of character law suit“…

He has posted several social media videos in recent months showing him boxing and working with personal trainer Mel Deane.
An Unidentified Lady, has celebrated her 18th birthday with her friends on Facebook.. She was spotted holding the “trending balloon” that was floated to display 18.
Judging from the photos of the beautiful lady, one has every reason to dispute the fact that she’s indeed a teenager… but this doesn’t come new to us though as we’ve over time, seen something akin to it.
The ecstatic lady, proudly holds on to the inflated “number 18” balloon, wearing a bright smile and posing for the cameras, like though she was born to do it.
But if she says she’s 18, who are we or you to judge? A lady barely tells her age and now this lady does and we’re disagreeing?! Oh common!
The Zimbabwean government is set to enact a law barring the sale of alcohol from Monday to Friday, and to expectant women in order to curb the abuse of the beverage.
The new law will particularly target motor vehicle drivers, who will face arrest if found driving with blood alcohol concentration levels going beyond 0,08 per 100ml, The Zimbabwe Mail reports.
Former Zimbabwe health minister Timothy Stamps, now serving as health adviser in the office of the president is credited to be the sponsor of the new National Alcohol Policy.
According to another Zimbabwean newspaper, Sunday Mail, retailers found selling the drink to expectant women will also be prosecuted.
The policy recommends that alcohol advertisements should be done at least 100 metres away from a road intersection, school, clinic, hospital, church and old people’s homes.
“Policies are there to give guidance to the general populace and various stakeholders. The reduction of alcohol abuse can be done partly through the law but the rest will be through moral suasion,” the newspapers quoted Stamps as saying.
Critics of the proposed regulations have however taken issue with its impact on profitability for retailers. They say it would force many of them out of business in a country where unemployment is a big problem.
In a new interview, Nigerian rapper, Olusegun Olowokere, popularly known as Iceberg Slim, has disclosed that he’s not exploiting Ghanaian actress, Juliet Ibrahim for fame.
The music star has recently taken the Nigerian and Ghanaian social media by storm following the news of him dating the screen goddess and flooding our Timelines and pages with their loved up photos and ass squeezing.
Although Iceberg hates to talk about his romance with Juliet Ibrahim, the US-born rapper opened up on their romance in the interview.
What are we expecting from your new song?
On my new song ‘Oluwa’, you should be expecting a side of Iceberg Slim that the world has probably never seen. I’ve decided to showcase my versatility.
Why has it taken this long to drop it?
It took this long because I was going through a lot, mentally and emotionally. I took time off, to be with my family and loved ones, during our loss.
I’m coming back to Nigeria, I needed to make sure that I was in the best state of mind, to release new music.
Is there going be something for your new love, Juliet Ibrahim, in the song?
The song is about me, speaking to God (Oluwa), pleading for his blessings and grace over myself and the people around me.
The genre of music you were exposed to at a tender age is totally different from what you do at the moment: Why is that?
I was exposed to a lot of Sunny Ade, Fela, Obesere and the likes, but growing up in New York City, I couldn’t speak Yoruba. I appreciated the instrumentation and melodies simply for what it was, great music.
I played the drums and the keyboard in church, and it was the things that I learned from those songs that I replicated. I also sang in the choir, and I’d often use the harmonies/melodies that I heard from those artistes.
Why is it that international artistes have a huge influence on most Nigerian artistes than our African legends?
International artists have a huge influence on most Nigerian artists because most yearn to reach those heights, or level of success, so to speak. Many of our artists want to be known and accepted beyond the walls of Africa, which creates this telescopic mindset that “Whatever they’re doing over there, let me replicate it. Be it the dressing, slang, hair, jewelry etc…” simply put, their eyes are on a bigger market.
How were you able to clinch collaboration with the likes of Ja Rule, 2face, Tiwa Savage, the late Dagrin, Vector, Eldee, Banky W, MI, Ice Prince etc?
I was able to clinch such collaborations simply by the grace of God. I’ve never had to beg or pay for a collaboration, and I believe it’s because everyone that I’ve ever worked with has had this mutual respect for my art and talent.
I’ve been privileged to connect with these people, both personally and musically.
You seem to be well connected internationally, why are you yet to be popular among music lovers in Nigeria?
I think this is because my past, lack of consistency. It’s easy to get people’s attention, but it’s hard to keep it.
Once the spotlight is on me, and people are awaiting what’s next, that’s when I’d usually just disappear. If you don’t hear from or about Iceberg Slim, you’ll forget about him. Perhaps that may be the reason. But this time around, I’m here to stay.
Rumour has it that you are exploiting Juliet Ibrahim’s fame to rise to stardom. How true is this?
Rumour has it? I’ve never heard such, and besides, there will always be rumours when you’re in any form of spotlight. I’d never exploit anyone, for any type of gain.
That would be extremely selfish and immoral. Such behavior goes against my code of ethics.
Critics consider your accusation that Phyno and Peter of P-Square copied the hairstyle you introduced to Nigeria as a publicity stunt. Is this true?
The statement was taken out of context, hence why some would see it as such. I was simply making a reference to the Mohawk hairstyle that became my signature in Nigeria, and then I saw some artists later replicating it.
I wasn’t condemning them, nor was I looking for attention. If they were both unknown artists, my point wouldn’t have been misinterpreted, my words would’ve been understood in the simplest format.
If you weren’t an entertainer, what would you possibly be doing?
If I wasn’t an entertainer, I’d probably be an FBI agent. Growing up, I always took a liking to law enforcement, from solving crimes to bringing people to justice, I admired it all. I went to school to study Criminal Justice.
What was it like when you lost your mom?
Words can’t describe the feeling. It’s like literally losing a part of your body, you can never be the same or whole again. The day that I recorded “Oluwa” was the last day that I had spoken to her, before she passed away.
She had always encouraged me to make songs embracing my faith and background, from the church. When I spoke to her that day, she even assisted with the pronunciation of some of the Yoruba words that I used. I made that song to make her proud. However, God called her home a few days later, and she never got to hear the finished song.
Do you feel comfortable with where you are in the Nigerian music industry?
I’m not comfortable with where I am in the Nigerian music industry, but I am content because I know God has a bigger and better plan. I’m working on God’s time, not man’s.
Why didn’t you practice criminal justice since that was the first thing you studied?
I didn’t practice Criminal Justice because I had a huge battle within myself. The tussle was between Goals vs Dreams…Career vs Passion.
After two years, I left the University where I was studying Criminal Justice, to enroll myself in a music school, to study Audio Engineering and Production. It was definitely a tough decision.
How would you describe yourself: a lover, a romantic, a fighter, or what?
I’d probably say I’m all of the above, because I can romantically fight for love.
What do you look out for in your women?
I’ve found what I’ve been looking for, in the woman that I have. The three C’s…Character, Charm, and Charisma.
