The banquet which was in honour of the Chief of Army Staff, Lt General Tukur Buratai, held at the Government House in Port-Harcourt on Thursday night.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has re-affirmed that he no longer bears ‘Matthew’ as one of his names again. He said this yesterday at an event to mark his 80th birthday celebration by the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) in Abuja.
Obasanjo Aremu Okikiola, as fully known when he was the president of Nigeria revealed that he had to drop the biblical name – Matthew in spite of the deeds of the character portrayed in the Christian’s concordance, bible.
At the event, he however warned being called the name so as not invoke his wrath.
“When I was born, my mother and father decided to name me Matthew. I grew up being called and addressed Matthew. What is the meaning of Matthew in the Bible? He was a tax collector,” he said. “So, when I grew up, I dropped Matthew from my name. If anyone does not want to see my eyes red, no one should call me Matthew again. People ask, what is in a name? For me, there is so much in a name.” “A doctor’s mistake often leads to the death of one patient,” he said. “A lawyer’s mistake leads to the client going to jail. But if an engineer makes a mistake that leads to the collapse of a bridge or house, many people would lose their lives. “That is why engineers must be very careful and must be efficient not to allow mistakes to be made”, the former President stated.
Obasanjo ruled Nigeria as the president for two consecutive tenures between 1999 and 2007.
A housewife, Mrs Bukola Ogun, has been arrested by the Oyo State Police Command for allegedly staging her own kidnap with the intention of extorting money from her husband, and to also make the man, who is an American citizen, relocate her to the Unites States.
The Oyo State Commissioner of Police, Mr Abiodun Odude, who was speaking during the parade of 12 arrested suspects in the state at the Police Headquarters, Eleyele, Ibadan, said the 37-year-old businesswoman, had conspired with a two-man gang, among whom was his cousin, Kayode Adepoju, to orchestrate her own kidnap in order to fraudulently obtain money from her husband.
The police boss said the incident happened at about 7:45p.m. on Tuesday, July 4, when three armed hoodlums stormed the residence of the supposed victim and ‘kidnapped’ her to an unknown destination.
“Barely four hours later, the suspects contacted the victim’s husband, demanding for N10million as ransom as a condition for his wife’s release.
“Unknown to the husband that the kidnap was actually arranged by his wife, he reported the case to the police, and upon the receipt, operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) began a manhunt for the hoodlums.
“During intensive investigation, two suspects were arrested, and they let the cat out of the bag, as operatives were stunned to discover that the victim was the architect of the fake kidnap.
“The woman, for the three days she was away, lodged in a hotel at Imalefalafia area, Ibadan, while efforts were on to rescue her, but after two of the suspects were eventually arrested in their criminal hideout at Imalefalafia area, they confessed to the crime and the mastermind was arrested,” the police boss said.
However, while speaking, the woman, Mrs Ogun, said she called her cousin, Kayode, informing him that she wanted her husband to relocate her to the United States, so wanted to stage her own kidnap so after her rescue, her husband would be left with no option than to send her abroad.
“So I left home on Tuesday, July 4, and returned on Thursday, July 6, acting as if I was kidnapped.
It was then that my husband started calling about that I had been kidnapped before finally informing the police.
“Everything is still like a child’s play; he is an American citizen and I just wanted him to relocate me to the US. I told the gang to demand for N10million from my husband; I knew he could not afford that kind of money, but just for the whole plan to look real.
“And within the three days I was away, I lodged myself in a hotel, but I regret everything now,” Mrs Ogun, who had been married to her husband for six years with two children, said.
While speaking on his role in the whole case, Mrs Ogun’s cousin, Kayode, said the woman just called her one day, informing him that she wanted to stage her own kidnap so that her husband would agree to relocate her to the United States since he is a citizen.
“So she told me to find one of my friends who has a car and we would come to her house in the evening of the day we wanted to stage the kidnap.
“When we even got to her house, she was the one who walked out herself and entered the car we brought, and we took her to the hotel where she lodged for three days.
“After that, we called her husband, asking for N10million ransom, just to make the whole plan look real, but we didn’t collect anything from him.
“However, I was arrested the following day after she returned home; policemen came to my office to arrest me, and we had no option than to tell the police the truth,” Kayode said.
The Oyo police boss, however, said that the suspects would be charged to court as soon as possible so as to serve as a less to others who might be planning such stunts.

Lawyer to notorious kidnapper, Evans, Olukoya Ogungbeje, says the police has no evidence to press charges against his client, Evans. According to Ogungbeje, since Evans was arrested on June 10th, the police by law is expected to charge him to court but because they have no evidence against him, they have held him in detention.
The lawyer who spoke to The Sun, said that the police is currently brainwashing his client. He stressed that as Evan’s counsel, he has not been able to see him since his arrest on June 10th.
“We are not saying that we want to ensure that our client escapes justice at all costs. What we are saying is that we were given letter of representation and properly briefed and we have the claim to represent him within the confines of the law. As we speak, there is no single evidence of the matter, do you know that there is no single witness in that matter, do you know that no single case file has been opened on that matter? He has been moved to Abuja. Someone that we did not have access to while in Lagos Police Command, how do you think that we will be able to access him in Abuja? The police keep on brainwashing him, they keep on threatening him, they keep on deceiving him. Take him to court, that is what the law says. The police are only playing the ostrich. Do you know as his lawyer, I have been denied access to him, do you know that the father, his mother, his wife and children have been denied access to him? The police are not telling the truth. Why have they not published the court order they claimed to have got? Let them name the judge. They are only misinforming the public. They are not bold enough to publish the order. In short, they don?t have it. The police have been mischievous. There is more to it than meet the eye. The matter is in court and we should allow the court to handle the case and wait for the outcome of the matter”he said
Ogungbeje added that Evan’s wife, children and parents have been refused access to see him since he was arrested and are currently demanding that they be granted access.
He says he has written to the police to allow his immediate family members see him. According to him, they fear that he might have been killed. A member of Evan’s family who is based in the South East and spoke on condition of anonymity, said
“We are scared something terrible may have happened to him because of the way police has handled this matter so far especially the way his movement from Lagos was shrouded in secrecy. How would we have known if not your paper (Saturday Sun) which exposed the move in your report last weekend? “From our own investigation, we learnt he was first dumped in an underground cell at the force headquarters in Abuja. Though we have also heard that he has been moved to a secret location believed to be the FCID cell in Garki area of Abuja, we are yet to confirm that or his exact location and wellbeing as we speak.?he said

See Below;
Again, Kemi Olunloyo has attacked Seyilaw..
It all started when Kemi had the time to give a response to Seyilaw, who claimed he was quite excited after her arrest.
Seyilaw replied her of course, and now, She has come for him again..
Read Her Response below;
MY RESPONSE TO @SEYILAW1 ON HIS CHILD’S OBESITY PROBLEM. WHEN UR CHILD STARTS TO LOOK LIKE A FAT CARTOON CHARACTER DOG AND BECOMES THE BUTT OF JOKES, YOU WAKE UP! ITS ONLY COMEDY RIGHT? MAYBE TIWA WILL NOT BE A COMEDIAN BUT WILL CALL IT “BULLYING”…
Seyi you are a comedian nobody knew outside the shores of #Nigeria till I intvd you at #Laffmattazz in #Ibadan. My cameraman who does photos/videos is the same person who told me in prison that you “rejoiced when I was arrested” for posting a news tip. That young man was my 16yo son.
How do you think he felt? Educate your fans about dragging children into controversies. I did not drag urs. I simply educated you like I did others including two celebrities. Your profession is to crack jokes which nobody should take seriously.
Mine is Pharmacy, Journalism and Public Relations and first class US degrees for that matter. My work is solidly accurate though many illiterates in our country dispute it till it’s proven later. As a health correspondent for @cnn for 15yrs since the 90’s and the special medical correspondent for NTA news 2012-2015, my work is well known.
I do not blame you for being raised in an poor career background where you cannot work in your degree field (if you have any) and end up a comedian though it pays the bills. Regarding my bail, I did not beg anyone for my N1M bail.
My lawyers paid it and I do not pay for legal fees. The DCR sat on it and I called her out destroying her name in Premium Times and Sahara.
The bail I begged for was a N200k bail for the same case in magistrate court where my ATM card was not accessible but in my hotel as I had been remanded into prison and had to perfect a bail to avoid an overnight prison stay. I ended up staying 26hrs and released. My fundraiser was for my legal travel expenses.
15 women contributed, no men, no IPOB regardless of all the lies I saw posted. DID YOU DONATE? No!
@officiallindaikeji was the first donor and that is why I mentioned her name. U were busy rejoicing I went to prison. I don’t do drugs, I dispense it. Google “pharmacist”. My mom says she had no kids with a birth defect. Your wife could not carry 3 pregnancies. That is the real BIRTH DEFECT!!
Still basking in her new found faith, Tonto Dikeh has taken to her Instagram to write about what being born again means to her.
Being born again isn’t a license to be boring, or dirty in appearance. Being born Again is living a fun filled, Happy joyous life knowing that you have a mighty God by your side.
Being born again isn’t about not having friends or hanging out, it’s about having the right friends that will elevate, motivate, inspire you and most especially pray with you.
Being born again means having Access to the best and the most beautiful things of life.
Being born Again is having Peace and never been afraid to show how genuinely happy you are no matter who that affects.
Being born Again is having to see a hate word and still praying for them.
God wouldn’t call you only to make you A boring person or a less fashionable person, As a matter of fact, I believe a born Again Christian should have the finest things of life.
Because if my life isn’t Colourful how then can I convince you that a LIFE IN CHRIST IS A BLISSFUL ONE.
My fellow brethren it is time for us to Allow the world see Jesus in us colorfully. MY NAME IS TONTO DIKEH, I AM A RADICAL FOR JESUS, MY LIFE IS AS BRIGHT AS THE COAT OF MANY COLORS, I SPEAK IN HEAVENLY TONGUE AND AM AN ENTERTAINER
In the trending flow of figurative descriptions of President Buhari, Nigeria and her many present circumstances, aide to the former minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode has joined the train of bigwigs in the Nigerian politics to posit Nigeria a country in the soon-to-come posterity.
Jude Ndukwe, Fani-Kayide’s aide is however throwing a shade at the president’s wife, Aisha Buhari using parody in his poem.
Aisha Buhari earlier this week replied Senator Shehu Sani, expressing the return of the Lion King to save the weak hyenas and jackals in the kingdom figuratively described by Shehu Sani before then.
As the Supreme Court, on Wednesday declared Ahmed Makarfi as the national chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Jude Ndukwe tweeted a poem written by himself to throw a shade at the opposition party. It’s an illustration of Aisha Buhari’s parody of hyenas and jackals.
Read poem:
Go, tell them
That for every lion there’s a Samson
For every bear, there’s a David.
Let them know that
For every Pharaoh, there’s a Moses
For every famine, there’s a Joseph
Go into the Rock
Tell them
That for every broken wall of our nation
There’s a Nehemiah
For every wickedness, there’s an Esther
Let them know that for every Red Sea
There’s a rod
For every lion in the den
There’s a Daniel
Go, tell them. Let them know
That for every prophet of Baal
There’s an Elijah
And for every Judas there are eleven others
Go, tell them, let them know
That there are still many prophets of
The Living God who haven’t
And will never bow to Baal
Go, run quickly, tell the lion king
That Elisha is around
And that Joshua is ready
Fully apparelled for battle
To take the nation back to the people
The people of God
Go, tell the hyenas and the jackals
Those who called their citizens dogs and baboons
That about this time in 2019
‘A seah of the finest flour will sell for a shekel and two seahs of barley for a shekel at the gate of Nigeria.”
Tell them that faith will replace fear
And rejoicing will replace weeping
That justice and peace shall reign again in the land.
You, yes, you, just go, go and tell them
That come 2019, Nigeria will rise again
Because PDP is back, power returns to the people.
NIGERIA’S FINANCE MINISTER KEMI ADEOSUN made this known in Lagos at a lecture at PWC’s Business School, with the theme: ‘Voluntary Assets and Income Declaration Scheme (VAIDS) Interactive Session for Executives and Business Owners.
The government has also engaged the services of asset tracing-companies to investigate the tax payment status of 150 firms/individuals. The minister also disclosed that tax defaulters will be investigated.
“We are working alongside projects we have locally, like the Bank Verification Number (BVN), records of property ownership, records of property allocation, records of company ownership from the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), among others. It is from these projects that we look at how much tax such companies or individuals should be paying”.
”The investigators’ findings will enable us compare the income and how much tax the company/person is really paying, and that gives us lots of information. But we encourage people to come up and pay their taxes willingly.” “You can register a high-end car. It tells me something about your income. So we look at your tax returns. If you registered Mercedes E-Class and you are paying N100,000 tax, then something is wrong. Those are red flags. We now have the capacity to assess people accurately.”
Mrs Adeosun added that Nigerian would be left out in the campaign to enlarge the tax net, noting that some beggars were earning millions.
She said the government will look at their lifestyles and tax them, adding that ;
“even proceeds from begging are taxable. You are supposed to pay taxes even if your means of income is begging”.
Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo has just proven that he’s one of the sweetest man in the world.
Today, his wife, Dolapo, took to her Instagram to share a heartwarming photo of them posing with a cake she said he gave her at midnight, in time for her 50th birthday.
“Thanking God for 50 years of His grace. #CakeAtMidnight,” she said in the post.
And this was all it took for fans to crown the VP the loveliest husband in the world.

Kinsmen of President Muhammadu Buhari in Daura, Katsina have pleaded with Nigerians to stay out his private life and pray more instead for his quick recovery. The kinsmen made the plea in various messages to Nigerians during a visit by The Punch to Daura, the president’s hometown in Katsina state.
Leading the kinsmen Lawan Saidu, Ahmed Haroun and Seidu Awalu, who are elders in Daura, who said the President should be left alone to recuperate.
They also urged Nigerians to pray more for God to grant Buhari good health.
Awalu asked;
“Anyone can be sick, so why is everybody attacking the President as if he is not a human being? The last time he was in the country, he told Nigerians that he was ill and had never been that ill, so what else do you want him to do?”
Also speaking, an unnamed senior official in the Emir of Daura Umar Farouq Umar who said the president’s privacy should be respected.
He said:
“We offer prayers for him here on a daily basis and every Jumaat; we pray for him in the mosques and eagerly look forward to his safe return to Nigeria very soon.”
Katsina State chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress Mallam Tanimu Saulawa said:
“I believe the President had done what was expected of him constitutionally before his medical trip. This is our President and Nigerians, irrespective of tribe or religion, should show the spirit of nationalism. “We should rather intensify prayers for him for his recovery because the national responsibilities on him are enormous.’’
President Muhammadu Buhari left the country for another london medical trip since May 7th 2017, and Nigerians are yet to hear any media communication from him – the closest was an emergency visit by Acting President to him (Buhari) .
Yesterday, Kemi Olunloyo called out Comedian Seyilaw after the latter declared he was the happiest man alive, after news of Kemi Olunloyo’s arrest touched down the Internet.
Kemi called Seyi names, and even went as far as calling his daughter Fat and Obese. Below is what Kemi wrote;
MY REPLY TO @SEYILAW1 the complete IMBECILE OF A COMEDIAN. I GUESS I CAN SAY I DID NOT REJOICE WHEN I HEARD HE WASN’T THE ONE BADOO CULTISTS KILLED… RIGHT?
I heard you were happy I went to prison @seyilaw1. Your baby is still FAT AND OBESE. Take lessons from a health professional. There are lots of children in prison and all are healthier than Tiwa.
I don’t sugarcoat things. Your baby could hardly move in one crawling video. Stop overfeeding her. I heard someone called her Kungfu panda. All these fake fans hyping her baby fat are laughing behind you. I went back to prison for another 24hrs due to a technicality and was glad to go back to check up on our 4 newborns and 5 toddlers.
The food is better than your mom’s cooking. There is no prison food. You cook your own food. Now I go weekly to prison to drop off supplies and money for inmates with babies and IPOB protesters forgotten by Nnamdi Kanu.
Excellence, Precious and some of those babies in there need our help, instead u are busy rejoicing about people going to prison, a pharmacist who advised u of your child’s potential health danger. Shame on you and YOUR dumbass comedy. I highly regret interviewing you giving u the exposure to my 27 million global blog readers.
Go and read more about #childobesity. @majeayida pls forgive my anger here. As a foremost fitness trainer in Nigeria, you promised to do a write up to address fitness in children and childhood obesity but I was locked up for posting a news tip.
People like Seyi should focus on people giving them correct info rather than promoting fake cybercrime laws against media professionals. As soon as you are back, pls DM. Sorry about the #Lekki floods. Thanks everyone for reading.
Comedian Seyilaw has finally replied.. He wrote;
Oh Madam Kemi, when will you realise you have become an object of ridicule? You try too hard to find LOVE on social media because you are family reject.
You wish you could have a lovely face to wake up and go back home to see like Tiwaloluwa, my precious daughter hence your bitterness towards her. O ma se o. Akuku bi omo. Omo taa ba gbe sonu ka toju ibi e ( A child will should have thrown away and keep the placenta). You are such a shame to the name you bear. All your cooking without people to eat with must be very painful. Eeeyaah!!
I am a professional journalism, pharmacist this and that yet, you had to beg for your bail and feeding like a bed ridden patient.
If only you were dedicated and committed to taking your drugs, you would not be raving like a rabies infected dog. I wish I didn’t have to do this, but training an Adult child is not a bad idea. A fool well over Fifty only deserves our prayers. We remembered you in ours tonight.
Ladies and Gentlemen, this marks the end of SEYILAW ever replying nitwits and incoherent psychiatric bound adult children. Let me take you back to your class, I hope with this few points of mine I have been able to convince you and not to confuse you that your stupidity is regrettably a birth defect. Anuofia
Please what is happening here – LOL
Photos of the rapper of her posing in a fridge surfaced online and it has sent tongues wagging on the internet.
Aunty Minaj, is everything alright – or is the weather too hot over there ?
In 2012, pop sensation, Davido, hit the limelight with his hit song, ‘Dami Duro.’ With this song, he wormed his way into the hearts of the Nigerian music lovers.
However, in the chorus of the song, he made a statement referring to the dance step of a certain ‘Baba Shina Rambo’ but not many people got the hint till Senator Ademola Adeleke won the bye-election to become the representative of the Osun-West senatorial district recently.
The senator, who is Davido’s uncle, is the father of Nigerian singer, Sina Rambo. Shortly after his victory, the Nigerian internet space produced video footage of the senator giving some hot dance steps during his campaign and a ‘victory dance’ when he won the election.
PUNCH reached out to his son, Sina Rambo, who is currently in the United States about his father’s dancing steps and he said his father has been dancing since the 80s.
He said,
“When the spirit of the Lord comes upon my heart, I will dance like David danced. Ashamed? I cannot be embarrassed with the way my father danced. Look, my father will not change for anything! He’s been dancing since the 80s or why do you think they call him Jackson?”
The singer said that his father is probably the best dancer in their house; he disclosed that even though he has tried to compete with him on several occasions, his father always won the dance competition.
“Trust me at every family party, we dig it out but he ends up winning because he just never stops. Jackson! Baddest,” he said.
The singer was quick to add that even though his father is a fantastic dancer, he is also a man of wisdom.
“But don’t be misled; he is a man of extreme wisdom who knows how to conduct himself at all times. There is time to celebrate and there is time to work. I’m sure he will definitely do a great job serving his country to the best of his ability,” Sina Rambo said.
The singer also took the opportunity to explain why he adopted the name Sina Rambo despite being linked with a notorious robber who terrorised Nigeria in the 80. He said the name has not in any way affected his brand negatively.
“Actually it started as a joke. Growing up in the 90s in Nigeria, there was a popular bandit bearing the name Shina Rambo. My name is Sina, so we joked about it a lot till the name stuck and when it was time to record my songs, I felt it just made sense because it caught people’s attention including Davido who loved it. Many people tried to tell me to change it but Davido insisted that I should not change the name.”
Culled From Punch.
The agitation for secession by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has taken yet another turn when some members of the group built a ‘throne’ for their leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
According to NAIJ.com, it was gathered that the Biafran themed chair is reportedly to be presented to Kanu later by the designers.
Recall that this will not be the first time IPOB members will create something in honour of their leader.
The seat has the Biafra flag colour and is being referred to by the builders as ‘Biafran throne’

Read some of the comments below:
Banky w is celebrating his best friend, Ebuka Uchendu. He took to Instagram earlier to celebrate the Media Personality as he turns a year older today.
Banky revealed he never liked Ebuka for one bit, as he felt he was too arrogant and he still is.. But then, he turned out to be one of his best of friends.
He wrote;
So when I first met @ebuka I didn’t like him because I thought he was arrogant. He’s still arrogant ?? but he’s become one of my favourite people, period. Except when he was trying to chance me as @captdemuren’s best man LOL.
Love him like a brother, and he’s genuinely one of the most impressive people I know. Lawyer, writer, TV personality, events MC of life, Gymspiration, professional fine boys club executive board member, husband, father.. AND one of the best friends a guy could have in his corner.
Happy birthday bro. Wishing you all the best and much more success by God’s grace.

What do Y’all think, HIT OR MISS ?
Nollywood Actror, Ernest Asuzu who suffered stroke a few years back, is back on the block, and right now, he’s a born again christian.
He spoke exclusively to The Sun Newspaper, where he revealed that he’s back to change people’s perception about Nollywood by bringing God back to the industry, and revealed why he feels that Nollywood is evil, among other issues.
Here are excerpts from the chat;
Many people want to know what you’ve been doing since you recovered from your health challenge?
I have returned to Nollywood, my first love. But I want God to help me re-establish myself as a good Christian in Nollywood. After the first outing, which I considered a success by worldly standard, I went down with stroke. Before I took ill, I was living large, outgoing and flamboyant; but now I have returned to God and I want to change people’s thinking about actors in Nollywood, because a lot of actors are dying without knowing God.
I want to introduce God to Nollywood so that they will know that there’s nothing they can do without God. Look at me now I have a Jeep. If anybody had told me when I was down with stroke that I’d ride a Jeep, I would not believe. But a man of God in Warri, Delta State blessed me with the car, that’s the car I brought to church today. Isn’t that marvelous? God saw my pain and faith in Him and intervened.
The thing that happened to me wasn’t my making; a man got jealous of my rising profile and inflicted me with stroke. I don’t want to emphasise on that. Let God judge the man. I’m glad because I’m not dead yet, when you are dead, that’s when you are gone. Now that I’m alive and back on my feet, it’s the Lord’s doing. I am alive by the intervention of God so I want everyone to know that I’ve given my life to God and my movie life is running and thriving.
Now that you’re back to Nollywood, what impact do you really want to make?
What I’m bringing back to Nollywood is concrete change. This is not a political slogan. What I want is for everyone in Nollywood to be God-fearing. I want the industry to know God because I’m a testimony. A lot of practitioners believe in charms, juju and evil, but when you know God, you will know it all and will not have room for doubt and unbelief. I want to bring God back to Nollywood, that’s what I want to accomplish this year.
How do you want to achieve this since you aren’t a pastor?
I am not a pastor, but I intend to be a pastor, to preach the gospel. I know it is not easy to be a pastor but I tell you if God calls me, I will answer. I will either be a pastor or prophet. But I am begging them to leave evil alone. Evil does not pay anybody. They inflicted me with stroke but I did not feel I had stroke for one day. So, if God chooses me as his vessel, I will say ‘Here am I, send me’. I want Nollywood to get closer to God because the time we are now is evil.
If God calls you what message will you preach?
Love. I will tell people that God is love and that love conquers all. I will harp on love, agape love; that is unconditional love. God created this world out of love and out of love he gave His son. For God so loved the world that he created everything therein, so I will preach the message of love.
As you are into music, are you also preaching the gospel through music?
What I’m doing is to use music as a channel to communicate my new found passion, which when all has been said, prepares you for a better life here and beyond. Salvation is not negotiable, and for me, it is a gift that Christians in Nollywood must accept as a plank to eternal life.
Is this your new belief also based on your recent robbery experience?
When I keep talking about the mercies of God, you may not understand. The robbery attack occurred around the premises of a transport company in Amuwo-Odofin, Lagos when I went there for a meeting.
As I waited for my friend, in my car, two young men drove up to me on a motorbike and stopped by the car. One of them walked casually towards me and brought out a gun. He asked for money and my handset.
Before I knew what was happening, he had collected every valuable thing from me. He looked at me and recognised me, he then asked: ‘Are you not a Nollywood actor?’ I answered ‘yes, I am’. He turned, jumped onto the bike and zoomed off.
Kemi Olunloyo has gone deep.. the controversial journalist who was arrested over alleged defamation has reacted to the news where Seyilaw rejoiced over her arrest.
Below is what she wrote on Her Instagram page, @KemiOlunloyo.
MY REPLY TO @SEYILAW1 the complete IMBECILE OF A COMEDIAN. I GUESS I CAN SAY I DID NOT REJOICE WHEN I HEARD HE WASN’T THE ONE BADOO CULTISTS KILLED… RIGHT?
I heard you were happy I went to prison @seyilaw1. Your baby is still FAT AND OBESE. Take lessons from a health professional. There are lots of children in prison and all are healthier than Tiwa.
I don’t sugarcoat things. Your baby could hardly move in one crawling video. Stop overfeeding her. I heard someone called her Kungfu panda. All these fake fans hyping her baby fat are laughing behind you. I went back to prison for another 24hrs due to a technicality and was glad to go back to check up on our 4 newborns and 5 toddlers.
The food is better than your mom’s cooking. There is no prison food. You cook your own food. Now I go weekly to prison to drop off supplies and money for inmates with babies and IPOB protesters forgotten by Nnamdi Kanu.
Excellence, Precious and some of those babies in there need our help, instead u are busy rejoicing about people going to prison, a pharmacist who advised u of your child’s potential health danger. Shame on you and YOUR dumbass comedy. I highly regret interviewing you giving u the exposure to my 27 million global blog readers.
Go and read more about #childobesity. @majeayida pls forgive my anger here. As a foremost fitness trainer in Nigeria, you promised to do a write up to address fitness in children and childhood obesity but I was locked up for posting a news tip.
People like Seyi should focus on people giving them correct info rather than promoting fake cybercrime laws against media professionals. As soon as you are back, pls DM. Sorry about the #Lekki floods. Thanks everyone for reading.
A teenage father with a tattoo covering half his face saying DEVAST8 has cried out over his struggle to get a job.
19 year old Mark Cropp, who was recently released from prison, put a plea out on Facebook saying his facial tattoo was stopping him securing employment.
He also said his tattoo which is not gang affiliated- wasn’t planned and was not supposed to be quite as big. He got it a number of months ago while in prison serving a two year and three month sentence in the Otago Correction Facility for aggravated robbery, the NZ Herald reports.
Cropp said he was going through a ‘rough patch’ with people trying to bully him at the time and believed people were more cautious around those with tattoos in prison.
He said he’s been told he wouldn’t be employed with “that on his face,” and had people shrug and laugh at him.
Cropp took a selfie, which he posted on Auckland Jobs Facebook page with the description: “Hey im keen as to work but have one thing that is stoping me and thats my tattoo on my face i dont have a cv as of yet but have worked at nz brick distrabuters b4 also a scrap metal yard im 19 years of age and have my lerners license.
Keen as on job or work place that will take me on. I have a cpit qualification in painting and decorateing, Also chainsaw an fencing nzqa throw aggrabusiness. Any questions please ask me.”

A Nigerian guy has met the shock of his life after a lady who came to his house to borrow some movies, forgot her panties, after using his bathroom.
Identified as Ifeanyi, the young lad says he’s scared after the lady who came to lend some movies from him, made her way to the toilet, only for him to discover she “forgot” her panties.
Here’s how he narrated the incident on social media, and some reactions that followed;
You all should meet Bobrisky Jnr! Nah.. He didn’t refer to himself as the younger brother of Bobrisky.. We gave him that name, since he’s exhibiting the characters of Bobrisky.
