“Don’t Ever Marry A Woman Who’s Richer Than You” – Actor, John Dumelo Cautions Men

john dumelo cautions men

During a Programme on GTV dubbed ‘What Men Like’, Ghanaian actor and farmer, John Dumelo, has advised men not to ever marry a woman who is financially more buoyant than them.

According to the actor, ‘fortunately or unfortunately, when women have a lot of money, they tend to be somehow disrespectful.’

He revealed this in the conversation which was centered on whether men like dating ladies who are financially well off.

The actor also went ahead to explain the kind of woman he would love to settle for.

He said:

“I just want a woman who is OK but the potential is there to be rich, for us to be rich together. She’s ambitious, she’s a go getter, she’s entrepreneurial. We can get the money together.”

He added that if he had to date a woman like that, he would just have to make sure not to depend on her financially.

“I don’t mind going out with a woman who has more money than I do but I would make sure I have my own money as well. I wouldn’t want a case where I depend on the woman financially”.

“I Blame The Devil For This” – Abuja Taxi Driver Kills Former Nigerian Ambassador, Steals Car (Photo)

taxi driver kills former nigerian ambassador

A Taxi driver, identified as Sikiru Lamidi, who allegedly murdered a former Nigerian ambassador to South Africa, Ngam Nwachukwu, on 24th of November, 2016 have been tracked down and arrested by Detectives from Apo Divisional Police Station, Abuja.

The Suspect, who is from Oyo town in Oyo State, was apprehended last week by the investigators at his home town where he was hiding after selling the Deceased’s Lexus SUV with Abuja registration number, YAB 938 MC.

The police, subsequently, recovered the vehicle which was sold with forged documents to one Femi Adeyemi.

Northern City News learnt that the deceased, 75, had chartered the suspect’s cab on November 23, 2016 and in the course of taking him around informed him about his car which had a mechanical fault.

The suspect was said to have offered to take the ex-envoy to his brother, a mechanic, who could work on the car and it was decided that Lamidi would come to the ex-ambassador’s house the following day.

The driver reportedly showed up at the ex-envoy’s residence at Villa Nova Estate, Apo the following day as agreed.

It was gathered that the deceased lived alone, and his security guard, who doubled as an electrician, was also not in the house during Lamidi’s visit.

Investigators stated that Nwachukwu offered the driver some food but he declined while sitting across from him at the dining table.

An investigator said:

“As the man was eating, the suspect pounced on him and wrestled him to the floor and then stabbed him in the neck with a pair of scissors. He stole the plasma television and home theatre in the apartment and went away with the deceased’s Lexus SUV which he sold for N1.480m to one Femi Adeyemi with forged documents,”

Lamidi told our correspondent on Thursday at the Apo Divisional Police Station that he did not know what came over him, adding that he just found himself stabbing the septuagenarian until he died.

He said:

“After stabbing the man, I felt terrible and guilty but there was nothing I could do to reverse the situation,” .

After killing Nwachukwu, the suspect explained that he sold the TV and home theatre audio system to a seller of fairly-used products at Area 10, Abuja for N38,000.

He said that he kept the SUV in Sauka Village along Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Road for two weeks before driving it to Oyo town.

The taxi driver said he gave the vehicle to one Okuta who assisted him in forging the vehicle documents, adding that he compensated Okuta with N380,000 after selling the vehicle.

The Suspect added:

“Out of the remaining N1.1m, I bought a motorcycle for N180,000 and invested N500,000 in a cooperative society; I gave a car dealer N500,000 to assist me in getting a car, but he defrauded me and didn’t provide any vehicle,”

When asked if he had committed similar crimes before, the suspect denied, saying it was his first time.

He said:

“I have not committed any crime before; I blame the devil for this. Sometimes, I entertain negative or diabolical thoughts, but I don’t smoke or drink,”

The Canadian singer, Justin Bieber has just been barred from performing in the mainland China for the meantime.

Bieber, who plans to be on a Purpose World Tour to the Asian continent to include China, Indonesia, Japan, the Philippines, Singapore and Hong Kong will now be forced China from his list of countries for performances.

In response to this restriction, Beijing Municipal Bureau of Culture wrote a statement on its official website to outline reason behind Bieber’s ban.

The statement says:

“Justin Bieber is a gifted singer, but he is also a controversial young foreign singer.”

“As far as we are concerned, he has engaged in a series of bad behaviours, both in his social life and during a previous performance in China, which caused discontent among the public.”

“We hope Justin Bieber is able to improve his conduct as he grows up and will once again find public favour”, the Bureau ended in hope to lift in restriction later in future.

The 23-year-old singer is one of the most powerful celebrities in the world as recognized by Forbes.

Residential area where the lovers were killed

Badoo cult group has been reported to have killed two lovers at their residential area this morning.

According to report from PUNCH, the lovers were murdered in a storey building located on Hassan Abiodun Street, off Ojodu Berger, in Ifo Local Government Area of Ogun state.

The remains of the corpses have been taken to  the General Hospital, Sagamu.

One of the residents in that area lamented the death as she revealed that the lady recently lost her father and she was even conceived of a baby before her death.

“The lady recently lost her father and the man she was to marry only came on a visit. She was a tall, beautiful lady and was also pregnant, ” the resident said.

It was gathered that their assailants tore the window net to gain entry and thereafter smashed the lovers’ heads.

Adding to the story, another resident claimed the people in the neighborhood had no knowledge of the attack in the midnight until daybreak even as much as a police station was at close proximity to the house.

“There is a police officer who lives next door to the deceased’s Boy’s Quarter. He did not hear anything. It is very sad and this development will create panic in the area”, the other resident expressed.

 

17 Persons Confirmed Dead In Kwara Cholera Outbreak (Photo)

kwara cholera outbreak

Seventeen persons have been confirmed dead in 1,617 reported suspected cases as a cholera outbreak continues to ravage Kwara State in North-central Nigeria.

The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, NCDC, disclosed the grim figures in its weekly epidemiological report for Week 26 released on Tuesday.

According to the agency, the suspected cases were reported as at the end July 9 with 13 laboratory samples confirming the disease and a case fatality rate of 1.1 percent recorded.

This is an increase of 3.6 percent suspected cases from the previous week epidemiological report where 1. 558 suspected cases were reported, 13 confirmed and 11 deaths recorded.

Children under the age of five remain the most affected with 460, (28.4 percent) of the cases reported with the male population accounting for 51.6 percent of the cases.

According to the health agency, 818, (50.5 percent) of the suspected cases were reported from Ilorin West, the percentage remaining constant from the previous week.

In the epidemological report for the week which closed June 30, four local government areas in Kwara state, Asa, Ilorin East, Ilorin South, Ilorin West, were reported affected with 50.6 per cent from Ilorin West.

With the continued disease spread and increasing death toll in the state, NCDC has enjoined Nigerians to maintain hygienic environmental practices in order to reduce the spread of the disease.

The agency explained that environmental hygiene involves care of residential areas, proper treatment and disposal of waste, stressing that to achieve maximal impact, a communal approach to hygiene is encouraged.

It said:

“This will support better fostering and impact on the general public on the importance of environmental hygiene practices, in and out of an outbreak season. These preventive messages should also constitute part of the messages given to the general public at the community, LGA, State and national levels before and during an outbreak,”

“Furthermore, healthy collaborations with the ministry of environment should be encouraged for initiating and sustaining environmental hygiene strategies implemented at all levels and members of the public should always seek care in a health facility if they have watery diarrhoea,”

NCDC also advocated multisectoral collaboration between states; relevant Ministries, Agencies, and Departments (MDAs) and partner agencies in ensuring that a holistic approach is taken during preparation and response to outbreaks of epidemic prone diseases and public health events of concern.

NCDC’s preventive messages on proper environmental hygiene practices:
1. Care of residential area- Clear all waste around residential areas
• Report any break in water pipes to the appropriate authority
• Site latrine facilities far away from residential areas

2. Waste Disposal
• Use appropriate disposal bags to gather waste before disposal.
• Dumping site should be as far away as possible residential areas
• Use of latrines and toilets. If latrines or toilets are unavailable, bury feces 30 meters (98ft) away from any body of water.
• Increase access to improved sanitation facility e.g. connection to a public sewer, connection to a septic tank, simple pit-latrine, and ventilated improved latrine
• Facilities such as bucket latrines, public or shared latrines, and trenches should be replaced as soon as possible by improved and longer term sanitation facilities, after a cholera outbreak.

3. Treatment of Waste – Antibacterial treatment of general sewage by chlorine, ozone, ultraviolet light or other effective treatment before it enters the waterways or underground water supplies. This helps to prevent undiagnosed cholera patients from inadvertently spreading the disease.

The Founder and General Overseer of Christ Mercyland Deliverance Ministry in Warri, Delta state, Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fufeyin, has done something quite shocking as he filed out unmarried youths and ordered them to choose each other for marriage during one of the church services recently.

While preaching, he asked a single lady to stand up and asked her if she was interested in getting married.

The lady said yes and then he asked her to go around the church to pick any brother that she would like to marry (point and kill).

The lady walks around and then informs him that her dream man isn’t among the congregation. The Pastor then asked if there were single men who were interested in marrying her.

Eight men ran out and when he asked the lady if she likes anyone of them, she responded No!.

Magu’s Case: Sagay Blasts National Assembly, Calls Senate The Bad Party In Nigeria

Prof. Itse Sagay

The Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee on Anti-corruption, Prof. Itse Sagay has strongly criticized the insistent refusal of the National Assembly to approve Ibrahim Magu as the Chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

Sagay, in an interview with Channels TV early this morning, said the Senate was only discharging its duties with self-love and tyranny at the expense of the country. He noted the case of rejecting appointment of Magu as the EFCC Boss is a peculiar case.

“The Senate is the bad party in this country. The Executice can proceed with the confirmation of Ibrahim Magu as the Chairman of the EFCC as stipulated by the law. if the Senate is not careful, Magu will remain the EFCC boss without the consent of the legislature. The Acting President is right for saying that”, the Professor of Law stated.

Hahaha.. Read this conversation between a Nigerian Guy and a Female scammer

A Nigerian guy has exclusively shared with us a conversation he had with a Female scammer who tried to scam him of his hard-earned money.

Apparently, the scammer claimed her daughter is seriously ill and she needs 20,000 for medications, but then, she’s got just N5,000 on her. Thus she needs more funds, so her daughter won’t die of the illness.

Then, the good Samaritan requested to know the nature of her daughter’s ailment, and the scammer revealed she’s suffering from “Imodium”… and funny enough Imodium is the name of a Diarrhea drug.

Nigerian Celebrities una weldone

NIGERIAN CELEBRITIES UNA WELDONE.

I don’t force people to be patriotic anymore because Nigeria doesn’t care about your patriotism.

But, I force and expect people to be human. Human enough to try to put your legs in the shoe of your fans and other human beings sharing this space with you.

Well, I can remember when there was a problem in France, our own celebrities took to their Instagram and Twitter handles to form ‘dis thing touch me o’. Another happened a while ago in Manchester during a concert.

Our celebrities once more became Manchester fans. Every celebrity’s heart began to go out to the families in UK.

Greenfel tower saw itself under the hammer of fire and life’s were lost immensely.

Our celebrities once more, ran to Instagram to do the hashtag for the abroad people.

I in all honesty do not have anything against them for praying for Manchester victims and all.

But, I have a problem with them praying for abroad people and doing eyes right when their backyard Ikorodu is on fire.

I didn’t see any celebrity that prayed for Ikorodu or the lekki flood victims.(maybe they did but I didn’t see it they way I saw other ones)

Rather, comedians took to their Instagram handles to mock the occupants of Lekki.

If it was new jersey that was flooded today, you’ll see hashtags flying around Instagram like hungry bats.

Because its Nigeria where more of their fans who pay to watch them lives. They did eyes right as if they are oblivious of the issues.

Ikorodu occupants sleep with their hearts in their mouth almost every night because of Badoo people. Many have been killed, some other Inocent people have been mistaken for Badoo and killed accordingly.

Our celebrities who without their fans are nothing refused to at least do a ‘pray for Ikorodu’ picture.

Dear celebrities, if you know the power you have, you won’t make a mistake as this.

Do you know how your fans who liked your ‘pray for Manchester’ posts feel when they saw you sharing and making jokes about the flood?

Do you know how the families of Badoo victims will see you post picture after picture without you acknowledging the fact that a fraction of your fans are under threat.

Nobody is begging you money.

Just a tweet, a post somewhere will go a very long way in putting a smile on their faces.

Charity begins at home.

Forming humanist for abroad people and switching to ghost mode for your own people is heart breaking.

Sometimes, your fans don’t need your money or a selfie. All they need is you to show that you care for them the way they do.

Cheers.

Davido’s dad, Deji Adeleke secures release of 200 prison inmates in Osun state

Deji Adeleke secures release

The Chairman, Springtime Development Foundation, Dr. Deji Adeleke, has secured the release of about 200 inmates of the Ilesa Prison in Osun State.

The Vice-Chairman of the foundation, Mr. Banji Adesuyi, said this at the Ilesa Prison on Tuesday when the group was donating 700 mattresses and the same number of pillows to the inmates.

Adesuyi said Adeleke became aware that inmates of the prison were sleeping on the bare floor when he went to pay a visit to an embattled chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Alhaji Diekola Oyedele, who was detained at the prison.

He explained that the foundation paid for the release of inmates, who were incarcerated because they could not pay fines as low as N5,000, stressing that the foundation did not secure the release of any inmate convicted because of crime.

Deji Adeleke secures release

Adesuyi said Adeleke was not prompted to secure the release of the inmates because of political reason but purely on humanitarian ground.

According to him, the foundation will not limit the gesture to Ilesa Prison, stating that it will soon extend the same gesture to Ile-Ife Prison before moving outside the state.

The foundation’s chairman said that the organisation would ensure that inmates were introduced to computer literacy, tailoring and woodwork in order to make them useful members of the society even after completing their jail terms.

Adesuyi said,

“Dr. Deji Adeleke paid for the release of over 200 inmates last week when he came to visit a prominent politician, who was detained at the prison.

“A woman was detained with her baby because she could not pay a debt of N65,000, he ( Adeleke) paid the debt, the woman was released and he also gave her another N100,000 to start another trade.”

The Managing Director of the foundation, Samuel Oyalabu, said Adeleke’s gesture should spur other Nigerians to do the little they could to alleviate the suffering of the poor.

One of the inmates, Ekene Madunagwu, who spoke on behalf of his colleagues, expressed appreciation to Adeleke.

12-year-old girl suffering from a rare skin disease that makes her hand look like a tree

A 12-year-old girl from Bangladesh is suffering a very rare and painful skin condition that makes her skin grow like the bark of a tree.

Muktamoni’s upper body, the right side mainly, is turning brown and hardening to resemble a tree. Reports have it that the upper part of her body has the tree-man disease.

The right side of the child’s chest has stretched down to her hand and has become large and discolored.

The hand which is infested with parasitic warms appears to be growing and curling up at the end. She suffers incredible pain in the affected arm and, coupled with the fact that the hand curls at the end, she is unable to do anything with the hand.

Doctors say that the disease has spread through her entire body. She is currently receiving treatment at Dhaka Medical College Hospital. Her father, Ibrahim said it all started as a small boil on her right hand few years back then it spread.

He said to India Today:

“There was a small boil in Mukta’s right hand three years ago which gradually spread to the entire arm and resulted in the swelling of the arm making it look like a tangled tree. From the hand, it is now moving towards her body slowly. In the last nine years, I have got her treated at different places. Seeing no progress, I have come to Dhaka Medical College Hospital. I beg blessings from all for my daughter’s recovery.”

Mukta was admitted at the Burn and Plastic Unit of Dhaka Medical College Hospital on Tuesday where a team of eight doctors has been formed for Mukta’s treatment. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has already taken the responsibility of Mukta’s treatment.

Dr Samantalal Sen, chief of Burn and Plastic Unit, told India Today:

“At this stage, it is difficult to say what kind of disease it is. Initially, we were thinking it a skin disease of some order. Could be anything from Pharmalvascular malformation, Limphotic malformation, Neorophibrometosis and Congenital hyper Caratosis.

Her physical condition is not suitable for operation as of now. In order to be operated, she will have to stay here for 7-10 day and after that, we shall think of surgery.”

Worst WAEC Result So Far?

The West African Examination Council, WAEC, has released its May/June 2017 secondary school certificate examination results.

..and pictured below might just be the worst WAEC Result of 2017 ever!

worst WAEC Result

Out of the 1,559,162 candidates that sat for for the 2017 WAEC this result may be the worst so far.

According to reports, 923,486 candidates secured at least five credits which include English Language and Mathematics.

Let’s calculate that, that’s a tremendous increase of 59.23%, when rounded off and compared to the last year’s 52.9% and the previous year of 38.7% who passed.

I think it’s safe to say that over time there will be an even greater percentage increase in the number of students who will pass.

As this result came to our attention we come to think of the reason a student who has been studying hard for this phenomenal examination will still manage to gain such a deteriorating result.

Zari Hassan’s Mother Dies After Billionaire Ex Husband’s Death

Zari Hassan’s Mother is dead.

Zari Hassan's Mother

According to Nairobi News, the socialite’s mum Halima Suleima Hassan passed on after succumbing to kidney and heart disease.

Writing on her Instagram, Zari wished her mother a safe passage to heaven, while declaring love forever for her.

“It’s with deep sorrow that my family and I announce the death of our lovely mother who passed on this morning. May her soul rest in peace, May Allah forgive you your sins and grant you Jana,” she said.

Adding, “You will forever be loved our Old Sun, us as your kids were given the best from God as our mother. We appreciate all you did for us. We will forever cherish you Mama. Sleep well.”

This sad news comes just weeks after the Ugandan beauty buried her ex husband Ivan Ssemwanga, who she left for Diamond Platnumz. Ivan’s death triggered media persecution of the Ugandan beauty as family members of the diseased allegedly demanded paternity test of the children she had with their late son.

However, peace later reigned and Zari emerged the manger of Evans billionaire empire.

As though that drama was not enough, her current husband Diamond Platnumz put her on blast on his Instagram, accusing her of infidelity. But she dragged him after shooting down his accusation, and he crawled back to her, begging for forgiveness.

Less than a month since that family drama, Diamond Platnumz’ alleged love child with a Tanzanian video vixen surfaced, and while the drama is still brewing, Zari loses her mother.

It has been a tedious phase for the mum of five, but she has family and friends already commiserating with her on her loss.

We also wish the Ugandan boss lady strength to bear the grief of her mum’s demise.
