The world’s richest man, Bill Gates, joined Instagram and shared his first post from Tanzania, where he had lunch with students at the Kicheba Primary School in Muheza.
The co-founder of Microsoft and American business magnate, investor, author and philanthropist, who already has already 223K followers in 24 hours also shared a picture of himself and his wife, Melinda Gates, as she celebrates her birthday today, 15th August.
He wrote:
Hello from Tanzania, Instagram!
I just had a great lunch with some amazing kids at Kicheba Primary School in Muheza and met Upendo Mwingira, a remarkable physician who has dedicated her career to fighting neglected tropical diseases.
Melinda and I have been coming to Tanzania for many years now. I always love seeing how much progress the country has made to improve health and provide opportunity. Plus, the scenery is stunning.
Whenever I travel to places like this, I wish others could come along and meet the people I get to meet. I have no doubt it would leave them as optimistic as I am about progress happening around the world. I’ll be sharing photos from my adventures here on Instagram, and I hope you’ll follow along.
Happy birthday, Melinda! I am the luckiest man in the world to have you by my side.
The Controversial Nigerian Journalist took to her Instagram page to share a picture of the Actress, Eniola Badmus, as she drinks smoothie.
She said that at first she was happy on seeing the actress drink smoothie, as it is healthy but questioned the amount she was downing in the photo.
She wrote:
#hnnhealth This picture is wrong on all levels. For years I have been using celebrity figures to educate the masses about health. While I was @CNN dot com as a contributing health correspondent for 15 years, Americans learned a lot from me about health conditions by using celebrities to illustrate and provide health education. Arisekola, Emir Ado Bayero died of prostate cancer. Omololu Olunloyo and Wole Soyinka suffer prostate cancer as we speak and are living with it getting treated. I have used “famous people” as examples for years. Many of you never knew about #ovariancancer till Mayowa Ahmed’s case.
.

Back to this photo with @eniola_Badmus. I have always used her as an example of why obesity must be monitored to avoid high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes. She started losing weight at one point. Some of you said I fat shamed her. There is no such thing as fat shaming. You fake ppl are the first to write #RIP on her profile if she died from complications of obesity. Next she was hospitalized and her BP was stable. @instablog9ja carried the story and surprisingly many of you were already laughing at her as she wrote on her post. .
.
This photo came from the page of a food vendor advertising a #smoothie. I was so glad seeing Eniola eating healthy, a smoothie drink for that matter. But why is she drinking a smoothie FROM A JAR???? Is it a way of mocking her that she’s already scraped and eaten all the strawberry jam and washing it down with a smoothie? I always focus on the bigger picture. SMH. To all the FAT GIRLS, STAY HEALTHY. Don’t let anyone call you derogatory names like plump, chubby, heavy set, full figure etc. You are obese a medical word and you should exersice, eat good meals and drink 8 satchets of water.
A Nigerian Man has taken to Micro-blogging site, Twitter to cry out after he received a credit alert of over 7 million naira in his Diamond Bank Account.
The user, @raynergy, said the transfer was made by a company, though he didn’t disclose what company, but it’s been 24 hours, and he hasn’t been contacted by the bank or the company. He wrote;
Dear @DiamondBankNG exactly at this time yesterday 7,310,000.00, seven million three hundred and ten thousand was transferred to my account.
The transfer was made by a company. It’s exactly 24 hours & I have not been contacted. The money is not mine and I want it out of my account
Please follow back so I can DM my account information and any other details you may require. Thank you.
This immediately prompted a Twitter poll by a Nigerian, who asked other Nigerians what they’d have done if they got a credit alert from an unknown source.
The options were, Return it or Withdraw and Disappear.
61 % voted withdraw and disappear, EFCC is looking for the remaining 39%. Jk.

“I love making music and I have decided to stick to it while constantly giving my best.
“Most importantly, I owe whatever success I have achieved to God. If not for God, I wouldn’t be here. If I want to give any advice, I would say put God first and be humble.”

There are reports on social media that a Nollywood Actress, Bukola Adeeyo gave birth to a baby girl in London a few months ago, and the baby papa has been fingered to be Actor, Odunlade Adekola.
Odunlade is already happily married with kids and since the news got out, he hasn’t reacted to the news… But then, LIB put a call through the actor who is currently on a movie set in Osogbo to either confirm or debunk the rumor, and he said:
“Bukky Adeeye? react ke, what’s my own with it. If you are asking me all those questions you know I won’t answer you, I have been in this entertainment business for over 20 years but if you have any neutral question apart from what is happening on social media negatively, I will answer”.

So, we have an update about the guys who stole a Zzetta’s Phone.
It all started when the Instagram User, @lordesszzetta shared photos of two guys, calling them out for stealing her phone.. Apparently, the guys took pictures with the phone, not knowing the settings of the phones allowed Backup at several intervals.
She wrote:
PLEASE READ: Hi everyone. My phone was stolen yesterday 12/08/2017 somewhere around my area at Amuwo Odofin. The guys who stole it turned off the phone after a while, would switch it on at times, answer my friends’ calls but would stay mute.
However, as fate would have it, they were stupid enough to snap with the phone and the picture was backed up on my gmail without them knowing.
Fast forward to today 13/08/2017, I got a new phone and logged into my Google account to back up my saved info/ pictures and Lo and behold, their picture was restored along with mine!
So this is the picture of the thieves who stole my phone. Please do share until they are caught. Thanks.
ZZETTA.
Below is an Update, and How she was able to retrieve her phone:
PLEASE READ: UPDATE ON MY STOLEN PHONE(14/08/2017)
It is with great pleasure that I announce that my stolen phone has been retrieved today, Monday 14/08/2017 around 6:30pm. IT HAS NOW BEEN CONFIRMED FOR SURE THAT THE PHONE WAS INDEED STOLEN BY ONE OF THE GUYS IN THE PICTURE who claimed someone threw it out of my car and he picked it.
The suspect tried to be smart and make my story backfire after they saw their pictures going viral. They contacted Yabaleftonline and posted that I am wanted by the Nigerian Air Force in a bid to intimidate me with the contact he has.
I visited the barracks and thanks to some good men of the Air Force who investigated and clearly made me understand that THE AIR FORCE NEVER DECLARED ME WANTED as they have no business with such a civil case that should be handled by the police. Indeed the culprits plan did not work out as there were loopholes in his story which gave him up.
Thankfully, the officers on duty ensured the phone was retrieved and handed over to me. His motive behind taking the case to the Airforce failed and backfired. The suspect will certainly be facing the wrath of the law for false alarm and lying on the force that I was declared wanted.
As you can see from the picture of the phone, the culprits had no intention of returning it as they wiped off all the information in it and restored it to factory settings to either make use of it or sell. The police were duly informed of the case and have been updated on all recent developments.
Thank you all for your support and kind words.
ZZETTA.
Everybody knows E-Money and Hushpuppi… their lavish lifestyle and all… blah blah blah, so let’s cut to the chase, life is too short for Karamo
The duo who are both different in their mode of making Mulla, definitely are the same when it comes to spending it!
And they make damn sure that they share it on social media! One of the ways they spend their dough is to purchase exotic designer wears, from Gucci (mostly), to Louis Vuitton and what not.
So, say you were to choose between the duo, whose designer wears game you liked better, whose will it be? We have few pictures to help your thoughts..
Talk about having some good grinding eh? O.B.O was definitely having a good time when a lady rocked him while he was performing on stage.
You can clearly see from the singer’s facial expression that he’s really getting down as the lady, who rocked a pink body hugging sleeveless dress, shot her backside seductively against the singer’s wgtgetwgf… yeah you know what I mean.
Davido is not known to kuku shy away from moments like this… happy grinding champ!
Singer or should be say Rapper, or both? Vic o is not going back on his promise to drop a diss track to Don Jazzy if he doesn’t feature him.
This comes after the self acclaimed rap-god called out the MAVIN boss to feature him in a new song, else he’d drop a diss track dedicated for the Mavin Record Boss.
He’d given the music mogul a weeks ultimatum to meet his demands, else, he’d officially start a war with him – well, that was about 7 days ago and since then, the producer didn’t acknowledge him.
So Vic O is going ahead to drop his bomb today. He announced last night that the track is titled Jazzy.

There were reports yesterday, that the Marriage of Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi’s marriage to his wife Olori Wuraola has ended just after just 17 months.
According to new reports by LIB, this is 100% true and it has been confirmed!
A few weeks ago, the Ooni told his wife he was no longer interested in the marriage and asked her to leave. The former Olori has relocated from Osun state and now lives in Lagos.
So what led to the marriage break up? Here’s all we know and this is authoritative.
The Ooni married Olori Wuraola shortly after meeting her last year.
According to sources close to the estranged couple, after he ascended the throne, a wife was needed asap and he was introduced to Wuraola who at the time was with a Lebanese business man. But immediately the Ooni indicated interest to marry her, she quickly dumped the Lebanese man and went with the new Ooni.
“She was with this guy in February 2016, infact she had their photo on her Whatsapp DP and just the following month, in March, she was married to the Ooni. We were all surprised”
“The funny thing is; the Ooni was advised not to marry her. Former president Obasanjo himself, who regards the Ooni highly, advised him to marry someone else but the Ooni turned a deaf ear to his plea. She had been married before to a former governor and a Lebanese man and so many of his inner circle friends wanted another woman for him but he was adamant” the source continued.
We gathered that the Olori still ran to the same Obasanjo for help and advise when the Ooni threatened to marry another wife. Obasanjo didn’t do much according to what we gathered.
According to another source, Olori Wuraola and the Ooni didn’t court for long and didn’t really know themselves that well before getting married. And she went into the marriage with high expectations from the new Ooni but when those expectations were not met, she allegedly started to act up.
“They have been having issues for many months now. But the Ooni finally knew his marriage to Wuraola was nearing its end after they returned from London in March. While there, he suspected the Olori was not 100% loyal to him after he saw some text messages on her phone. I wish I could go into details of what he saw. Before then, she had done so many things, including traveling abroad to be by herself, and many other things that the Ooni was bitter about” the source continued.
According to what we gathered, after the Olori staged the walk against domestic violence in Lagos in July, the Ooni told a few friends that his marriage to the Olori was over but it wasn’t until about two weeks ago that he informed her family that he no longer wanted the marriage and asked the Olori to leave.
LIB asked the source how they could have been having marital issues as far back as March 2017 when the Ooni sent out a loving birthday shout out to the Olori in April. The source laughed and said
“Everyone who knows the Ooni knows he would never write that kind of message publicly. We know him. He himself was surprised to see the message online on her birthday but didn’t react not to embarrass her. The Olori wrote the message herself and posted it on his IG page. I can assure you that message was not from the Ooni”
The message reads:
“Happy birthday to my beautiful wife, my queen. I pray on this day you continue to increase in strength, grace and wisdom. I love you very much”
When we asked the source if they thought the marriage could be save, he said no!
“It’s final. He’s done with the marriage but don’t be surprised if there’s a media storm between them, especially from the Olori. She sent him a long scathing text message threatening fire and brimstone and called him unprintable names but the Ooni is not fazed. We expect him to get a new wife soon”
The Ogun state police command has arrested one Nasiru Adeyemo, and his wife, Idayat, for cutting off the index finger of his daughter from his previous marriage, tying her up in a sack and dumping her by the roadside to die at Asabala area along Papalanto-Sagamu Road in the state on Sunday, August 13th.
A statement by the state’s police public relations officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, says that passersby who saw the sack alerted the police and when it was loosened, it was discovered to be a little girl who was writhing in pain following her cut off finger.
She was taken to the hospital for medical examination. After she was stabilized, the little girl told the police that it was her father and step mother that tied her up in a sack and dumped her on the road.
“On the strength of the information, the DPO Owode Egba, CSP Shehu Alao, led his men to the scene, where the white rice sack was untied. Surprisingly, a seven year-old-girl, whose right index finger was cut off, was found inside the sack and dumped at the roadside since Friday. Having realized that the girl was still alive, she was quickly taken to the hospital for medical attention. It was when she regained consciousness that she informed the Police that her father and step-mother were the ones who cut off one of her fingers before tying and putting her inside the sack before dumping her inside the bush to die. Upon the information from the victim, a manhunt was launched for the father and his wife and they were arrested in the evening of Sunday. The duo are currently undergoing interrogation.”
Oyeyemi added that the state Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Iliyasu, has ordered the transfer of the case to Anti-Kidnapping/Cultist section for further investigation and possible prosecution of the father and stepmother.

Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on media and publicity, Femi Adesina, has disclosed on ‘Politics Today'(a programme on Channels Television) that he is not sure if it is the federal government that is responsible for the medical bill of his principal.
The 74-year-old President who has been receiving medical attention in London for the past 99 days has generated heated controversy on the issue of cost between his supporters and opponents.
The anchor of the programme, Seun Okinbaloye, asked Adesina, “Who is paying for the president’s treatment?”, He said:
“Does it matter at this point? We need to know, he is our president. He is a public official. This shouldn’t be shrouded in secrecy.”
“I do not know who is paying, but as a president, he has a right to be treated by the country.
“Nigeria is taking care of the bill? Most likely. I don not know for sure.”
The presidential spokesman who was in the delegation that met Buhari during the weekend also discussed his experience with his principal at the Abuja House in London and also dismissed the position that Buhari has not returned to the country because he is too frail to travel.
He said:
“The president I saw was sharp, he was smart, he was lucid. The president I saw was almost completely mending,
“But like I said in the statement we issued, he will come when his doctors say ‘it’s time to go home.”
“We can’t depend on the word out there, but I can depend on what I saw with my eyes. I saw the president and I know that he has recovered considerably.
“Once the doctors certify him, he will surely come back… If you know the president, at the peak of his performance when he just assumed the presidency and went to different parts of the world, you will know that he is a man of tremendous energy and tremendous ability.
“If a man was heal and he has mended, that means he can do what he used to and even more.”
