Jim Iyke replies

Earlier today, we brought you a picture of Nollywood Actor, Jim Iyke talking a leak by the roadside, where he captioned the photo:

“Road trip back to Enugu. Bladder overflowing from last night’s indulgence. Kept bidding time to make it to the gents. Finally pulled over by the road. Barely made it before a wardrobe malfunction.

Don’t f%@# with nature y’all! Nothing like fresh breeze on the “TOOL” as u take care of personal biz in the wild.

I love the motherland!! ???? #StylePiper#IfYouGottaGoYouGottaGo #TheSmileOnMyFace #JustKeepi”

But then, this didn’t sit down well with a troll, who felt the need to come for the singer. The follower, who is obviously Ghanaian wrote:

“Africans behavior, Jim can you urinate on road side in abroad? Hell NO but when you come to Africa see what you are doing you think you are a small boy bi, grow up fool”.

Then an obviously irritated Jim Iyke replied the follower as thus;

“@kwamedee Dear Angry social media Idiot. Africans? I suppose Kwame is an Asian name! I stand corrected ofcourse lol. Try new York, London, milan, Tokyo, istanbul, Antwerp, Amsterdam.

Most of the cities we ‘re in awe of has rank odour in many parts due to people relieving themselves indiscriminately.

I held mine till I almost had issues and my driver had to pull over. It was the edge of a forest with erosion and constant flood. You’d rather I piss on myself to be politically correct Abi? I posted coz iblivr to see humour in certain human failings. My fans and friends get the joke.

We live to hv a laugh. It’s not for nitwits and the faint at heart. Certainly not for u. U had to create an acct for your comments? E pain u like that? Na ya TOOL I use? Cowards are the lowest.

Google next time. I forgive you. Your waton stupidity has absolved u. Go in peace dear angry misinformed disillusioned depressed social media person. It’s Monday. Let’s get it!”

actress nkiru sylvanus

Nollywood actress and Former Special Adviser to Governor Rochas Okorocha, Nkiru Sylvanus, has taken to her Instagram page to share a photo of herself and as well reveal her thoughts on Nigeria and its problem.

According to the actress, Nigeria’s present problem was caused by past and present administration.

She wrote:

If a man lived in a house for 16yrs without renovating it, he shouldn’t blame the new tenant for living in a dilapidated house. The present problem of Nigeria is the fault of both past and present administrations, no body should assume a saint position. Where do we go from here? How do we make things better? Who do we lend our support? Who should we believe in? Those are the questions we need to answer instead of the pointing fingers. That’s my take! Happy Sunday people!

More Cars For Lawmakers? Reps To Receive Utility Vehicles Worth N6.1b

reps receive utility vehicles

Reports are that the vehicles, which costs N17m each, will be given to all the members of the House, and it will put a N6.1b dent on the government’s coffers.

Sources in the Green Chambers say the Peugeot 508 series will be used as a utility vehicle by the lawmakers.

The Chairman of the House Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Mr. Abdulrazak Namdas, who spoke to Newsmen, said all Reps will get their cars by the end of December 2017.

He said:

“Over 200 have been supplied out of 360 and we are still getting more.

“Every member will get a car by the end of this year. The issue is that the payment and supply of the vehicle is being done in instalments.

“The House and the company (Peugeot Automobile Nigeria Limited) agreed to this arrangement of paying and supplying in instalments.

“Naturally, not all the members can get their cars at the same time and we have explained to them why this cannot be possible.”

He also attributed the delay in the supply of the vehicles to lack of funds.

He said:

“You know that we have not started the implementation of the 2017 budget fully.
“You will appreciate the fact that payment for these cars will come from the budget. So, that issue too is there.”

Meanwhile, the lawmakers in the Green Chambers have been going through some hard times, as some of them say they are being owed salaries, Vanguard reports.

Igbos are not Jews — DNA Result Reveals

The high expectations of members of the Re­deemed Israel Commu­nity of Nazarene Association (RICON) on a possible ances­tral link between Igbo and Jews have been dashed.

The international President of Jewish Voice Ministries, Rab­bi Jonathan Bernis, announced that the result of saliva samples taken in Nnewi had shown that the Igbo were not Jews.

Members of the group had gathered at Uruagu-Nnewi to collect what would be the con­firmation/ Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) test result of Ndig­bo’s claims that Igbo are descent of Israel got to the venue as ear­ly as 9.00am on Saturday for a result that was to reshape the relationship of Igbo and Israel.

Rabbi Bernis who read the report from a laboratory based in Houston, Texas, the United States of America (USA) said that the result of the samples taken from Nigeria random­ly on some people in Igbo­land bear no semblance with the ones in the data base of the laboratory.

The Israeli in company of three of his compatriots said that none of the 124 specimen taken from Nigeria matched the samples in the Houston labora­tory which has 17 years’ experi­ence in DNA business.

He however said that the result does not rule out the claim of Igbo to Israeli descent as more research would still be made to authenticate the claims.

The President of RICON, Bishop Ignatius Orizu (JP) while commenting on the DNA result said that the result would not deter the organisation from continuing to research into the claimed descent of the Igbo from Israel.

He pointed out that the tra­dition, religion and culture of the Igbo long before the arrival of the missionaries have great semblance with that of the Is­raelis.

Bishop Orizu who said that there are many books in circu­lation that collaborated the claim of Igbo to Israeli decen­cy however urged the congrega­tion not to lose hope as science is always in the business of dis­covery and recovery.

He appealed to the Feder­al Government to recognise the Jews in Nigeria and proclaim Yaweh’s Feast of Passover, trum­pets, atonements, tabernacles among others as public holidays as approved for Christians and Moslems during Christmas, New Year and Easter.

Saliva samples were col­lected from Igbo community for Y25, DNA test on February 6 and 7, 2017 at Nnewi, Anam­bra State.

23-Year-Old Bag Snatcher Arrested In Lagos, Blames His Father For Robbery Career (Photo)

23 year old bag snatcher

A 23-year old bag snatcher, Ayobami Adedeji, has been arrested by operatives of Rapid Response Squad of the Lagos State Police Command in Alagbado during a botch operation.

The suspected okada robber blamed his father for his plight, saying that he abandoned him after his mother’s death.

He was chased by the operatives on routine patrol of Kola Bus Stop, in Alagbado Area of Lagos, after snatching a hand bag around 10:00 p.m.

Adedeji, in company of an accomplice, who he referred to as Aboki, had on Monday night, operating with a motorcycle, snatched the hand bag of one Kudirat Oyebade at Kola Bus Stop.

The operatives who were close to the scene of the incident chased the motorcycle into the inner streets. One of the suspects was however arrested while the rider escaped abandoning his motor cycle.

Adedeji said:

“I was a bus conductor. I went to Kotangoa market on Monday to meet Aboki about how to raise money for ourselves…. We have been together for a long time. At around 2:00 p.m. on Monday, we perfected the plan to operate together on Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway, but our focus were Adura and Council bus stops around Agbado areas of Lagos State. Our priorities were handbags and purses.”

“We had snatched two bags and my colleague was keeping the money before our last botched operation. This was our first time…. Unfortunately for me, I didn’t know RRS operatives were monitoring us. I snatched the bag and they chased us into the streets. My colleague escaped after abandoning his okada and I was arrested,” he continued.

“I dropped out in SS1 after losing my mother. My father was just a ceremonial father. He never cared about me since the death of my mother. He never assisted me but I had to fend for myself after the death of my mother.”

Meanwhile, The operatives, also recovered an AK-47 assault rifle from three young men in Apapa Area of Lagos State.

The officers accosted the men but the suspects on sighting officers dropped the bag and fled the scene.

A check on the content of the bag revealed an AK-47. No ammunition was found in the bag.

The rifle has been deposited at the RRS Headquarters for further investigation while Adedeji has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Panti for further investigations.

Badoo smashes woman’s head after church vigil

Suspected members of the Badoo cult disguised as worshippers on Saturday to attack the Cherubim and Seraphim Church, Okin Parish, Igbo Agbowa, Ibeshe, in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State.

PUNCH Metro learnt that a woman, who had attended a vigil in the church, was injured after her head was smashed with a stone.

It was gathered that three Badoo suspects had mingled with the congregation during the vigil, which ended around 3am on Saturday.

Shortly after the members slept off, the assailants reportedly struck, smashing the stone on the head of the woman whose name had yet to be ascertained.

Our correspondent was told that the victim raised the alarm, which woke up other church members and residents of the area.

A resident, who gave his name only as Joseph, said the crowd gave the suspects a chase and one of them was apprehended.

He added that the woman had been admitted to a hospital.

He said, “After his arrest, he told us that they were three that attended the vigil. They pretended to be members of the church. People were exhausted after the service and slept off inside the church. During that period, they attacked the woman. She was seriously injured in the head.

“Two of them fled, but the third suspect was apprehended and taken to the Ipakodo Police Station. Some youths wanted to lynch him, but they were stopped.”

An elder in the community, who spoke on condition of anonymity, urged the police to conduct adequate investigation on the suspect with a view to arresting other fleeing members and their sponsors.

“The woman is in a critical condition at the hospital. It took the intervention and assurances from elderly members of the community that justice would be done before the youths agreed to hand over the suspect to the police.

“We have witnessed a situation where a suspect was caught like this and handed over to the police, but nothing came out of it. The police should ensure diligent investigation and prosecution. If justice is done, people will stop jungle justice,” he added.

Ozubulu Massacre: How gunmen killed the father of their target over sour ‘deal’

Ozubulu Massacre

A sour drug deal is reportedly the reason for the Ozubulu Massacre which according to police, left 8 dead and 18 injured.

According to Vanguard, it was learned that trouble started for worshippers who were in church for the 6:00am Mass, when at about 6:45am, the gunmen rode into the church in a Lexus SUV, as one of them entered the church and shot at close range an elderly man, later identified as Pa Ikegwuonu, while others remained in the vehicle outside.

An eye-witness told Vanguard that after killing the old man, the gunman opened fire on other worshippers, as those who tried to flee were cut down by the gunmen outside the church.

Pa Ikegwuonu is the father of Chief Aloysius Ikegwuonu, a businessman from Amakwa, who built and donated the church to Nnewi Diocese, while his wife was shot on her right arm and still on admission at the teaching hospital.

It was gathered that the gunmen were looking for his son, Aloysius, who was said to have returned to the village on Saturday and left later in the day. According to a source, the gunmen had thought he was in the church and had wanted to deal decisively with him over a yet-to-be ascertained business deal.

A survivor, Mr. Stephen Ohamadike, told Vanguard at the church premises that the gunmen entered the church around 6.45am as they were about to begin prayer of the faithful. He said:

“Those of us who were to say the prayers of the faithful had just assembled at the altar and I had Number 2 which meant that I was to say the prayer for Nigeria. Suddenly, I saw someone who was putting on a cap shooting indiscriminately inside the church.

“There was pandemonium and in the midst of the confusion, I just lay down on the floor. The officiating priest and the Mass servers quickly left the altar and the Mass came to an abrupt end.

“I counted 11 dead people and many were wounded. I used the vehicle belonging to Pa Ikegwuonu to take him and his wife and others to Evans Hospital where the doctors advised us to go to the teaching hospital. I used the car to convey many other people to the hospital before I came back to Amakwa.”

Several other parishioners, who sustained bullet wounds were being treated at the hospital, with over 50 medical doctors from Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital, NAUTH, and other private hospitals around Nnewi battling to save their lives at the Emergency Unit of the hospital.

A Twitter user @isinmiri also shared a story, about what really went down, that resulted to this unfortunate massacre. Follow the thread:

“Road trip back to Enugu. Bladder overflowing from last night’s indulgence. Kept bidding time to make it to the gents. Finally pulled over by the road. Barely made it before a wardrobe malfunction.

The Nigerian rapper, Ruggedman has condemned the act of the Copyright Society of Nigeria (COSON) Chairman, Tony Okoroji in supporting the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed over the petition signed against the latter by Performing Musician Association of Nigeria.

Earlier on Thursday, Mr. Tony expressed disapproval against the petition of intellectual theft towards the Minister for stealing PMAN’s creative proposal in organising the recently held Creative Industry Summit in Lagos. He said:

‘I am shocked by the efforts being made by some of my colleagues and friends in the name of PMAN to discredit the historic Creative Industry Summit and to drag the minister’s name into the mud.’

‘As a past president of PMAN and an elder in Nigeria’s creative industry, I completely disagree with the attempt to use the platform of PMAN to contrive a dispute with the minister.’

Ruggedman however in a series of tweets on Saturday condemned the position of Mr. Tony Okoroji. He said his intervention in the case cannot be find worthy and below the repute of an elder which he claimed to be.

“Mr Tony Okoroji u are an elder in every ramification.Going on social media to rant on an issue u know nothing abt is not elder like “, Ruggeman tweeted.
