One of the sons of Mrs Folorunsho Alakija, one of the richest black women in the world, got married over the weekend to his Iranian beauty wife, Nazanin Jafarian Ghaissarifa.
Their white wedding was celebrated with a lavish bash at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, England.
Their story has made it to DailyMail UK and the thousands of pounds Folarin, who is one of Mrs Folorunsho Alakija’s four sons, & his Iranian beauty wife Nazanin Jafarian Ghaissarifa spent to have a fairy tale wedding also revealed.
It has emerged that Folarin & Naza’s wedding which held at Blenheim Palace had one million roses which were done by Jeff Leatham.
Jeff commands up to £250,000 (N114million) for flowers and has worked for Madonna, Oprah and Tina Turner. Jeff was also the man behind the flowers at Eva Longoria and Tony Parker’s wedding.
The cost of hiring the whole Woodstock wedding venue, which is the ancestral home of Sir Winston Churchill, is only on application but hiring just the palace and state rooms costs £33,000 (N15million).
The cake, which was adorned with hundreds of roses and ornate doves, was created by Elizabeth’s Cake Emporium.
Prices start at £300 per tier and Elizabeth’s clients include British, European and Middle Eastern Royalty, celebrities and high net worth individuals.
With eight tiers on their cake, the base price Folarin & Naza would have paid for their magnificent cake would be around £2,400 (N1.1million) – and that’s excluding the elaborate iced flowers and doves.
Guests at the wedding were also treated to a surprise performance from Blurred Lines singer Robin Thicke, who reportedly costs around £150,000(N68.2million) to hire.
Apart from the magnificent firework display in the hotel grounds later in the evening, the A-list guestlist included amongst many, Victoria’s Secret Angel, Shanina Shaik.
Father-of-one Folarin Alakija is an entrepreneur, investor and cinematographer who lost his first wife to cancer.
Folarin’s new wife studied Bioengineering and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Manchester, has a graduate Diploma in Law and has also worked as a model and marketing consultant.
She stunned in a traditional strapless white gown with lace embellishment as she was walked down the aisle by her father. She accessorised her look with a dazzling diamond necklace and white Manolo Blahniks.
She later changed into a racier, floor length white gown with sheer panelling. She let her hair down as she danced the night away with her new husband and glamorous wedding guests.
The pair became engaged last year and had a traditional Nigerian wedding in Lagos in November.
Forbes ranked Mrs Folorunsho Alakija as the 14th richest woman in Africa and number 80 on its Power Women list; she overtook Oprah Winfrey as the richest woman of African descent in the world in 2014.
DailyMail reports that the wedding costs £5million.. Which is over N2 Billion in Naira.
A 34-year old man from Singapore has broken a long-standing world record by successfully having intercourse with 57 different women within a 24 hour period. The record was set in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, as part of an annual event run by a local brothel.
The man, who was not named by local Czech media, told reporters that he had been training hard for a period of months and was delighted to have broken the previous record, which stood at 55.
“I’ve always been a bit of a sex addict, and when I learned that the brothel was having a world record attempt I knew I had to come and give it a go,” he said. “I take it really seriously and train for it just like an athlete would prepare for a marathon. In some ways, it’s actually much harder than a lot of professional sports.”
The world record attempt began at midnight local time, with officials looking on as the man commenced intercourse with his first partner.
“For the world record to count, every woman I slept with had to be different, so the venue had to hire a number of girls from other brothels.”
By midday the man was ahead of world-record pace, having slept with 29 women.
“I started to get a bit of a cramp around then but luckily we had a physiotherapist on hand to give me a massage which helped out,” he told journalists.
As part of the conditions attached to the world record, no challenger is allowed to take any prescription medicine to enhance their erection, and the Singaporean man passed a test to reveal his system was clear of such medication.
“Natural remedies are permitted, but I won’t disclose what supplements I take,” he said.
In addition, for each individual session of intercourse to count, the participant must ejaculate more than 5ml of semen. The record officials were on hand to dutifully measure the amount of fluid ejaculated by the man at the end of each session.
“It’s not the most sought-after job, but we find it rewarding in our own way,” said one of the judges involved.
The previous record holder, an American porn actor, slept with 55 women within a single 24 hour period back in 1983 as a promotional stunt for a new film release. For decades, men around the world have tried – and failed – to break that mark. “I personally never thought the record would be broken,” said one judge. “It’s a true credit to this man’s determination and perseverance.”
Just shortly before 11pm the man broke the record after he completed his 56th session of intercourse, and officials were impressed when he decided to add one more to the tally to finish with 57. Officials believe it will be unlikely for the record to ever be broken, particularly as such a high volume of sex in a short period of time causes great trauma to the male sex organ.
At the protest which started around 11am, at least five persons have been reportedly hit with bullets at the gate of Kogi State polytechnic, Lokoja where senator Dino Melaye was holding a protest against the state government.
The protest turned bloody when gunmen yet to be identified invaded the venue of protest.
The gunmen who stormed the venue from the Nataco junction brandishing guns of different guns and cutlasses started shooting into different direction sending people scampering for safety including journalists who were at hands to cover the event.
Before the Army and the state commissioner of Police could reach there almost an hour into the shooting, five persons have fell victims of gun shots with a vehicle caught in flame as well.
Prince Eze Madumere, Deputy Governor of Imo state, recently married his third wife, Princess Chioma Rosemary Madumere in a private and low key ceremony.
This would be His third marriage following two failed previous marriages – He married his first wife with whom he had four children but later divorced her and then he got married to one Barrister Adaego Nosiri whom he also fell out with afterwards.
Few Family members and friends were in attendance as the wedding was very private.
The couple had a thanksgiving service yesterday in Imo state which was attended by their friends and associates.
Yesterday, we brought you details about how operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) allegedly shot dead a Nigerian Guy, popularly known as “Aboy Life of Ginjah”.
With the reports we just stumbled on Twitter, the story might just be false.. as a Twitter User (@iamdamilosky) has dispelled claims that he was shot dead by operatives of the special anti-robbery squad (SARS) on suspicion of being a ‘Yahoo Boy’.
Dami who claims he was beside the deceased gave his side to the story.. he said Aboy fell on a sharp rod after he heard that SARS operatives were at Oyins Hotel.
He claims the deceased tried running after he heard SARS were at the Hotelbut unfortunately for him, he tripped and fell on a sharp rod.
Dami also claims that The SARS Operatives weren’t after Aboy, but they came to see the owner of the Hotel.
The deceased was then rushed to Subol Hospital where he was rejected and met his end. The SARS Operatives came to visit the owner of Oyins Hotel.
See tweets below;
ABOY tried to escape when he & others at the pool bar heard SARS were at Oyins Hotel, he fell on a sharp rod that pierced his stomach & hand
He was immediately rush to a nearby hospital, Subol Hospital & was rejected. His friends then rushed him to General Hospital where he died.
SARS didn’t shoot ABOY. The SARS operatives didn’t even come to raid the hotel, they came to see the owner of the hotel.
I was still seating with ABOY the whole day, didn’t know his death was nearby. ?
The whole event is just unfortunate.
Come online to see a blogger write a completely false story is just appalling. Its very bad, just because u want to gain viewers to ur blog
The pictures he attached to the blog post is valid and the video is from yesterday when his friends came to Oyins to destroy the hotel but..
…but were stopped by the Nigerian Police Force from Ikotun and Idimu division who were invited by the manager of the hotel.

Then, Mabel moments later went to the photo on her husband’s page and left a comment.. She said it was “outright wickedness and she won’t take it.”.. Perhaps, her husband told her he was going to chill with the guys, and then he later shared a picture with Freda on his Instagram?
..’Cos we still trying to understand what really is going on here.

A 20-year-old man, Nurudeen Akintoye, has been arrested in Ogun State for allegedly having unlawful sexual intercourse with an 18-year-old deaf and dumb girl (name withheld).
According the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the state, Abimbola Oyeyemi, the incident occurred on June 7, 2017 at about 9.45p.m when the suspect who resided in Ajura town community in Obafemi Owode Local Government Area lured the victim into a bush and forcefully had sexual intercourse with her.
The victim, who the parents claimed was a virgin before the incident, was bleeding profusely from her private part, the sight which infuriated the people of the area who wanted to lynch the suspect, but for the timely intervention of the DPO of Owode Egba division, CSP Sheu Alao, who led his men to the scene and rescued the suspect from the mob. He was later whisked to the station.
The victim was taken to General Hospital in Owode Egba for immediate medical attention.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Iliyasu, has directed that the suspect be transferred to anti human trafficking and child labour unit of the state investigation and intelligence department for further investigation and possible prosecution.
The CP, therefore, warned members of the public to desist from applying jungle justice on anybody suspected of committing any crime emphasising “all suspects are presumed to be innocent until a court of competent jurisdiction states otherwise.”

“We’ve atoned ourselves; we’ve told God, Maxwell and ourselves that we are sorry so a swift investigations investigation of what happened, trial and the consequences applied.
“If they are found guilty, the extreme punishment allowed should be given and if the death penalty is still in our status books and they [suspects] qualify for death, let us execute them by firing squad.
According to police reports, 52 suspects, including eight women have been remanded in police custody following the gruesome murder of Major Maxwell Adam Mahama, who was buried last week.

Billionaire kidnap kingpin, Evans, who was arrested by police in Lagos on Sunday, has revealed why he chose to collect ransom in dollars. He says he wanted to be different from other kidnappers.
A young man who’s suffering from what can be described as a “Permanent erection” got cured by The General Overseer of The Synagogue Church of all Nations, Prophet TB Joshua.
This young man learnt the hard way that patronizing prostitutes is not a child of God’s way. Ironically, it was after he went to church with his father, later that day, he went out to meet a prostitute. When he got home that evening, his erection remained. As a result, he could hardly stand or move, even sitting was difficult.
Sunday was forced to explain his plight to his father who took him to the doctors who could only recommend an operation.
They declined and continued making efforts to solve his excruciatingly painful problem. Sunday became housebound for five months because of the permanent erection! His father, a reputable man in Ondo state, recalled that a man had visited The SCOAN with the same problem and was healed and so, he brought his son.
When Prophet T.B. Joshua prayed for Sunday, his whole body began to shake. After the prayer, Prophet T.B. Joshua told him to urinate. As Sunday urinated, the pain and poisonous substances left his body. Now, the erection has gone and he is able to live a normal life.
Sunday Akinrinwa advised youth that they should not fornicate or commit adultery but rather commit their ways to God.

Named, Chukwudi Dumeme Onwuamadike aka Evans, who was arrested in Lagos was alsoe behind the kidnap attempt on prominent transporter and owner of Young Shall Grow Motors, Chief Vincent Obianodo.
Evans, a native of Umudim, in Nnewi, Anambra State was arrested at his Magodo residence on Saturday, June 10 by the Joint Forces led by the Intelligence Response Team, the Lagos State Police Command’s Anti-kidnapping Unit and Technical and Intelligent Unit of the Nigerian Force.
In August 27, 2013, Chief Obianodo was attacked by some gunmen in Festac Town. The attack left four persons dead including two of the gunmen, a police officer and Obianodo’s driver while the billionaire sustained bullet wounds.
The Lagos State Government on Sunday declared Monday public holiday to mark June 12 celebration in the State, saying that the State remains committed to the ideals of the annulled 1993 Presidential election.
In a statement signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Mr Tunji Bello on behalf of the State Governor, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode, the government said the holiday was in honour of the ideals which June 12, 1993 Presidential election represents being a day that the country experienced an election that was adjudged as the freest and fairest in Nigeria’s history.
The Governor said 24 years after, the ideals of June 12 commemoration were worth celebrating, describing the day as one of the most defining moments of the country’s political history which has positively shaped its democratic rule.
Governor Ambode said the time has come for Nigerians to go beyond the commemoration and entrench a viable democracy as a way to immortalise the late presumed winner of June 12, 1993 Presidential election, Chief M.K.O Abiola through the practice of true federalism and conduct of credible and fair elections.
He said: “June 12, 1993 is a day we must not forget in the annals of our democratic history. Our present democratic experience may still be far from the ideal but we must all make concerted efforts to entrench fiscal federalism which is the only way to achieve true nationhood.”
Continuing, Governor Ambode said part of the enduring lessons of June 12 election is that it imbued the patriotic and nationalistic zeal in all Nigerians to speak with one voice to make a political choice devoid of ethnic, racial or social sentiments.
“On June 12, 1993, majority of Nigerians across all divides demonstrated through the ballot box that irrespective of class or ethnic sympathies, the Nigerian people are united and would always join hands to promote our unifying values,” he said.
Governor Ambode said though the peoples’ hope was dashed with the annulment of the elections by the military junta, the lessons of the elections cannot be wished away despite subterranean efforts by many to do, describing June 12 as the real Democracy Day in Nigeria.
“We owe it a duty to genuinely immortalize the fallen heroes of the June 12 struggle nationally and deepen our democratic values to ensure that never again will such anti-people action be allowed to take place”.
He also assured that his administration remains committed to the ideals of June 12 by carrying out people-oriented programmes across the State and making life more comfortable for the people. Meanwhile, the State Government, through the office of Civic Engagement, has perfected arrangement for the annual public symposium which will hold at the De Roof, LTV 8 in Ikeja, to celebrate June 12.

A Nigerian national has been nabbed by authorities in India with over 1,200 grams of hard drugs and other illicit substances.
This was disclosed in a media briefing Saturday by Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) after the bust at a Delhi railway station, Gujarat Headline writes.
Peter Chinedu Okafor, 27, ran out of luck early Saturday when operatives of the NCB Ahmedabad, led by Cop Hariom Gandhi, stormed the train he was travelling in at Vadodara Railway Station, and found the drugs on him.
He’d cleverly hidden the consignment in the sole of his shoe, unaware that the Ahmedabad NCB team was onto the trick.
Substances found on him include 843 grams of Amphetamine, 65 grams of Ecstasy tablets and 255 grams of another unnamed substance – all hidden in his shoes.
The NCB had yet to ascertain the source of supply, to whom and where the stock was intended and at what rate it was to be sold.
Authorities said the case has been registered against Mr. Okafor while investigation is underway to unravel the entire network.
Okafor’s arrest comes a month after another Nigerian, Eneh Wilfred, was arrested with $1.4 million worth of cocaine by NCB operatives.
Indian authorities have intensified the crackdown on drug abuse/trade, leading to the arrest of over 14 Nigerians in the past five years.

Movie producer and veteran Nollwyood actor, Bob-Manuel Udokwu, has urged his Igbos brethren in the north to go back home, plan and establish their homeland.
He said this while making reference to the quit notice threat issued by the Coalition of Northern Youths supported by the Northern Elders Forum.
In his speech, the actor reiterated the fearless, hardworking and economic capabilities of Igbo people and asked them to come back with a little of what they have in the north.
He’s quoted:
“Igbo’s take their wealth to other tribes and develop the place. They are the only people that can go to other tribes, buy lands and transform them into roads and mansions.
Whereas the reverse is the case when the people Igbos share this country with come to Igbo land. You hardly see them buy a piece of land talk of owning properties in Igbo land.
We accept them, live in peace with them and love them by giving them our food, water and everything they need to keep life going.
I am asking my fellow Igbos to come back. Let’s start doing good things from home. Just come with a little let’s beautify our blessed Igbo land.
Recall that the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Saturday also asked Biafrans and Southerners in the north to leave the north and come back home.
