Nigerian Actor and style icon, Jim Iyke, has taken to Instagram to share a picture of himself as he pen down a lengthy definition of what style means to him.
He disclosed that he is the confluence of global cultural diversity and added that God tailored him entirety for one entity; which is HIM.
He wrote:
Whether I’m rocking an overpriced jacket on the streets of champs elysees or rocking rubber flip flops soaking up the adulation of the street in the slums of kibera, it matters none. Unshaven for weeks with morning breathe rocking a palm oil stained old tee telling bad jokes with my sisters in my man cave or well groomed in handmade rare leather loafers makes no difference. It changes nothing.
I am the confluence of global cultural diversity. I’ve meticulously and resiliently self tutored its complexity into my DNA by trial and error. The originality is singular only the substance is duplicable. God tailored my entirety for one entity; ME.
It’s a comprise far from not only what you wear. It is how you think. Your principles. Your choices; costs and effects. Your idiosyncrasy. It’s in the roots imbibed by the man that sired you and men that mentored you.
Everything else around me is an Accessory. I am the essence. I give it life.
No brand, address, tribe, race, religion, creed, or ideology can define me. God created me this way eternities before my birth.
I cannot pretend to be anything else even if I wanted to. I’ve tried and failed woefully in the past. I am ridiculously comfortable and apt being me. Rules become inapplicable, even redundant. It’s an attitude. A way of life.
Perception is the window. It’s orchestrated conditioning to misinform you by disinforming you. Find your purpose and be informed. It is your open weapon.
I know people with $100 dollars budget walk into a room and everything stand still. I’ve seen people with $100k budget that make it look like a painful process and what is more cant hold a convo with a smart 8 year old.
It can’t be bought. It is and will always be priceless.
Once you’ve figured out this truth, you will strive for a reach beyond your grasp. A consciousness and profound understanding of self. It is the mastery of your space. Your individuality. Your flair. It’s in all of us whether dormant or dominant.
Find it. Train it. Fail it. Win it. Own it. Ostracize it.
This is STYLE. This is how I understand it.
Now how friggin DOPE is that!! #StylePiper #RainyBeautifulDay #ParisChronicles

Dear Nigerian graduates, it is not by pouring water
I’ve been a Nigerian since I was born and I know how we sometimes behave like we’re sick in the head.
Honestly, I have been trying to understand the rationale behind this pouring water thing after your final paper. What are the benefits economically, financially, intellectually and other wise?
I don’t know who came up with this ritual and I find it really exhausting.
Celebration? Of what exactly?
You know, sometimes, I talk and people say God forbid snapping their fingers towards my direction.
I laugh and pray for them because they are in a long distance relationship with reality.
Celebrating your graduation with pouring water and the extra madness that comes with it shows how we are not well.
When I graduated from a college of education, did I pour water?
Yes I did.
Why?
Because I was mad at the time.
Listen, celebrating your graduation is fine but see it as cleaning your shoes on a foot mat before walking into a sand dune. Or washing your hands before you sweep your compound.
See how pointless it is?
The politicians who should be threatened that a new crop of smart chaps are coming out of schools will see you people trending on social media with water all over you and laugh.
Why? That is all shade of not being serious.
There are no jobs in place for you people. You will go to those smelly NYSC camps and fall sick. They will owe you 19 thousand that you can easily get by playing few odds with 3k. They will frustrate you.
From punishment to punishment.
After the punishment of being Nigerian, you go through the punishment of going to a Nigerian school, then again, you go through a euphemized punishment titled NYSC.
Finally, the real punishment comes when jobs see you and run away because you don’t want to sleep with the interview people or you don’t have money to secure the job.
You know what? Many people will shout God forbid from semester to semester and yet nothing happened.
You graduated from school but nothing graduated inside you and you have the hand to pour water?
Pray karma doesn’t kick you on the balls.
To the new graduates, I wish you people well. But, be ready for reality.
You think you can pour water?
Pray reality doesn’t drench you with the slimy liquid of frustration.
Until then, work hard and pray let’s see how it goes.
Cheers.

According to report from THE Guardian Newspaper, the collapse of the hosue owned by the well-known Kafo Family has claimed lives of people leaving some others yet trapped in spite of the heavy rainfall leading to the crackdown.
The event happened at around 2:30pm yesterday.
The Director of Lagos State Fire Service,Rasak Fadipe, affirmed that apart from those rescued, efforts were still ongoing to rescue dozens who were under the debris.

“We heard an explosion which caused everyone to take to his heels, only to discover later that it was a building that collapsed. People are still buried inside. A pregnant woman is among those under the debris”, she noted.
An Ebonyi sate-based General overseer of King of Kings Deliverance Ministry, Prophet Emmanuel Chukwudi has made a strong prophecy that the ailing President Muhammadu Buhari will not return to Nigeria as the President and the Acting President Yemi Osinbajo will be sworn-in the President in his stead in the midst of fiery oppositions.
Prophet Chukwudi also revealed that come next election in 2019, the former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar will emerge as the President of Nigeria.
The Prophet stated this categorically while he was being conferred with a new title by his kinsmen.
Read here:
“I saw Buhari saying that he is no more in charge. Then I saw Osinbajo being sworn in. But the opposition is just too much. He can only last till 2019. He should battle very well not to be removed from office before then. This is not the first time I am saying that Buhari will not pilot Nigeria into 2019, and this is not the first time I am being shown Atiku as the next president. It’s over three years now that Atiku was first reveled to me.”
“Buhari has handed over power spiritually to Osinbajo. He cannot return to power, in case anyone is expecting him”, the seer said.
A Nigerian, Joachim Iroko who was arrested in August, 2016 for naming his dog Buhari was just freed of all charges yesterday at the Magistrate Court sitted in Sango, Ogun state.

The arrest of Mr. Iroko sparked nationwide outrage in August 2016 and critics accused the police of stifling constitutionally guaranteed freedom.
The presidency also reacted to the arrest when Presidential spokesperson, Garba Shehu, said the president paid more attention to cartoon pages in the newspapers rather than following Mr. Iroko’s case that was generating nationwide furore at the time.
In ecstatic mood, the discharged and acquainted Joachim Iroko expressed gratitude for the support throughout his times of trials.
“I would like to thank specially, Vanguard Newspaper for blowing the case open and human rights lawyer, Ebun Adegborowa that came to my rescue” he stated.

As the Nigeria Police Force attempts to rebuild its image, three police officers of the Lagos State Command have been dismissed.
The action was taken in a case of illegal arrest and extortion reported three weeks ago by an unnamed Nigerian using the popular social-messaging service, WhatsApp.
A statement by Assistant Commissioner Of Police of the Public Complaint Rapid Response Unit (PCRRU) in Abuja, Abayomi Shogunle, said the dismissal followed an internal trial at which the men were found guilty, under the Police Act, of corrupt practices and discreditable conduct.
In a major image-makeover effort, the PCRRU is sending to the public such messages as:
“Remember, Bail is Free, PCRRU says NO TO IMPUNITY and our quick response will put a smile on your face.”
The dismissed officers are: Inspector Okelue Nkemeonye, Sgt. Braimoh Sunday and Sgt. Yusuf Olukoga, met their fate after the complaint was filed on June 21.
Their lead officer, ASP Bayo Obadiah, received an official query and his case is being sorted out.
In his message to the PCRRU, the complainant told the horrendous story of how he was abducted by a team of policemen that morning as he came out of a bank to transact business.
Held all day until about 6 p.m., not only was he beaten by the policemen, they used his ATM to withdraw money from his account, and transferred money into another account provided by one of them.
According to ACP Shogunle:
“Upon the receipt of the complaint, a case with Tracking Number PCRRU637624 was registered and acknowledgment of complaint sent to the complainant. PCRRU Investigation team was dispatched to Ikorodu where all the three dismissed policemen including AP No. 98199 ASP Bayo Obadia who led the team were apprehended. PCRRU preliminary investigation reveals that all the allegations contained in the WhatsApp message actually happened.”
In addition, he said the four police officers who were armed on the day of the incident had falsely paraded themselves as operatives of Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) despite not being posted to SARS by police authorities.
Investigation also showed that the officers extorted a total sum of N200,000 from the young men whom they tagged “Yahoo Yahoo Boys,” the money forcibly taken from them via a N90,000 ATM withdrawal and another N110,000 mobile bank money transfer to a third-party account provided by the policemen, ACP Shogunle continued, adding the extorted N200,000 was recovered by the PCRRU Investigators.
He said:
“All the arrested officers, witnesses and recovered exhibits including the N200,000 cash and printed bank statement of account were handed over to the Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Zone 2 Lagos for further detailed investigation and necessary disciplinary measures,”
“The approval of the punishment of dismissal from service as recommended by the Adjudicating officer is part of the outcome of the disciplinary measures.”
With reference to ASP Bayo Obadiah “who led the team of the infamous men on this unacceptable conduct,” he pointed out that an official query was issued to him by the AIG Zone 2 Lagos, and that both his reply and that query have been forwarded to the office of the Force Secretary in Abuja from where it will go to the Police Service Commission as required by Police Regulations.
Shogunle said:
“The Inspector General of Police, IGP Ibrahim K. Idris, has commended the complainant for coming forward to report the incident to PCRRU, the IGP has also said that all allegations of professional misconduct reported against any police officer would be treated in line with relevant laws and in keeping to the ‘Change Begins With Me Campaign’ of the Federal Government,” .
He encouraged the public to report cases of police misconduct to the PCRRU for resolution, stressing that the IGP Idris led administration is bent on ensuring a more public friendly and corrupt free police force in Nigeria.
The Niger State Police Command has arrested a 14-year-old wife, Aisha Isah, from Lifari Village in the Mashegu Local Government Area of the state for allegedly killing her 40-year-old husband, Isiaka Usman.
It was learnt that the suspect and the late Usman, to whom she got married to five months ago, were cousins.
Northern City News gathered that Isah had been complaining of starvation and maltreatment since she started living with Usman, who already had two wives.
One of the two wives was said to have left on account of the failure of Usman to meet up with his responsibilities to his family.
The teenage wife said on Tuesday that her late husband failed to provide for her for two days.
She said:
“And when I confronted him, he slapped me and out of anger, I hit him on the forehead with a pestle and he collapsed and died,”
“My husband had the habit of not giving us money for food and each time we (the wives) confront him, he would tell us to go to our parents’ home and eat.
He never cared about us; he beat us every time we demanded money for food.”
Asked if the other wife was at home at the time of the incident, she stated that the other wife went to the hospital with her baby.
“My mate was not around; it was only me and my late husband that were in the house at the time of the incident. I picked a pestle and hit him, he fell on the ground and I ran to my mother’s house at Kahigu Village in Mashegu council,”
She also said that she inadvertently killed her husband out of anger and pleaded for forgiveness.
“I am sorry for what happened, it is the devil’s work and I pray my parents will forgive me; I never knew that he would die, I regretted all my actions,”
The police spokesman, Bala Elkana, explained that the victim died at Mashegu Hospital where he was taken for treatment.
Elkana described the incident as unfortunate, but added that the suspect would nevertheless be prosecuted as a juvenile offender
