After revealing the truth about her “horrible relationship” with her Nigerian ex-boyfriend, Vera Sidika has declared her bag is worth a fortune.
She shared a snapshot of the bag and captioned it; “My chanel bag cost me £3,990 $5,200 ksh 520,000, 10 million Tanzania Shillings, about 1.8 million naira & ul come tell me some girls are hating. Why won’t they? I’d hate on me too if I were them.”
Meanwhile, the socialist of recent dished some truths about men seeking to have a relationship with established women.
“If you see a woman that [has] sense and she has everything going on for herself and you know you’re not ready to add any positive value to her life, do yourself a favour and admire her from a distance without interrupting her greatness,” said the socialite.
She continued, noting that such women aren’t ‘gold diggers’, rather they are aggressively independent women who aren’t built for basic things like clinging to a man for relevance.
“It doesn’t mean they’re gold diggers, it just means they know what they deserve in life, so if your presence can’t add value to her life, what makes you think your absence will do anything to it?” She added.

Comedian Seyi law in a new interview with Sunday Scoop has described Kemi’s constant attack on his daughter as bullying.
Recall the comedian and the controversial journalist got involved in a horrid social media drama, after Kemi alleged that Seyi’s daughter, Tiwa is Obese and diabetic.
Seyi immediately fired back at the blogger and described Olunloyo as someone who’s hating on his daughter. Then, some persons mediated in the online battle and both parties seemed to sheathe their swords. But days later, Olunloyo made another post in which she insisted that Tiwaloluwa wasn’t healthy and that a relative of Seyi’s wife in London had told her that Tiwa indeed had Type 1 diabetes.
However, Seyi refuted Olunloyo’s claims in an exclusive chat with Sunday Scoop. He said,
“This is just a case of a person who has refused to seek help. It is obvious that Kemi has decided to bully my daughter. Bullies usually fight people who are within their age bracket and people who have the same body size as them. For her to attack my daughter only means that she is unwell. Who bullies a young child? Never have I seen someone her age bully a child as young as my daughter who is barely a year old. I have decided to ignore her rants. She also made some obnoxious claims about my daughter’s health. But when you’re a man that wakes up every day, knowing the only reason your daughter visits the hospital is to take her vaccines, you have every reason to be grateful to God.”
Speaking further, he said,
“According to her, there was an article in which I said I rejoiced she was sent to prison. But it’s apparent she only read the headline of the article, and not the body. She did not even know that I was pleading on her behalf. I will keep celebrating my daughter and having wonderful times with my wife.”
On the veracity of Olunloyo’s claims that his wife, Stacey’s relative informed her (Olunloyo) that Tiwa has Type 1 Diabetes, Seyi laughed it off.
“That doesn’t even make any sense. For the records though, my wife does not have any relative in the United Kingdom,” he said.
Explaining the only physical interaction they had before the online battle of words, Seyi said,
“Prior to her rants online, I only met her once. That was during a Glo Lafftafest show in Ibadan when she came backstage to interview me; that was all.”
Seyi also maintained that his wife isn’t bothered by Kemi’s rants.
“My baby is fine; there’s nothing wrong with her. I am the one who is a celebrity and I’m the one who should talk. My wife is not even bothered,” he said.
The Imo State Police Command has apprehended a 19-year old girl, Chidimma Nwoke and a 40-year-old bus driver with Peace Mass Transport Company, Samuel Nkemjika for allegedly taking part in kidnapping and armed robbery activities.
The state commissioner of police, Chris Ezike told our correspondent that the bus driver, an indigene of Bende Local Government Area in Abia State who used his bus in abducting his victims was arrested in Onitsha, Anambra State.

In another development, 19-year-old girl, Nwoke, a native of Umuaka in Njaba Local Government Area of the state was nabbed by the operatives of the command together with her two male gang members .
Ezike disclosed that the gang was notorious and specialised in robbing motorcyclists and traders at gun point.
Ezike said that luck ran against the gang when they robbed a victim which forced the police to swing into action and arrested the three-man gang, immediately.
He said that the two motorcycles which the gang used in robbing their victims, one locally made shot gun with three live cartridges were recovered as exhibits from the gang.
Ezike asserted that his command had tightened all loopholes, adding that the major reshuffle he made at the command recently was yielding positive results.

Facebook User, Damilola Oduolowu shared a shocking story of an elderly man who tried to “finger” a lady in a commercial Bus.
Read The Story below as published on LailasBlog.
‘AGRO’, SEDUCTION OR LUNACY?
My journey from Ikorodu to work everyday is always not interesting cos of the hours i spend in traffic.
Taking public transport, i enjoy boarding BRT (Blue bus or some times Red bus). No one to disturb your peace, i just plug in my earpiece to watch a movie, listen to music or in most cases, read or write. TATA (White) bus is a
‘No No’ for me because it stinks and that’s where you find all sorts of things.
The naturally loudspeaker voiced self-acclaimed marketers who sell herbal mixtures that cure tens of diseases won’t just allow you rest. All the drama of this life happen on the TATA bus, sometimes formerly called ‘Ise Oluwa’ bus.
That’s why I always prefer the Red BRT whenever i cannot queue for the Blue one. Of course with the mindset that i would be in traffic for about 2hours. Most times it is always the same time you spend queueing for the Blue one so what’s the point wasting my energy to queue for that long.
So this morning, i decided to board the Red one. This is assumed and expected to be saner than the drama stage called TATA. No advert, No babalawo, No preaching and so on.
I took my seat as the ticketer/conductor called in passengers. We moved and gradually approached the massive standstill traffic.
Few minutes later, we all on the bus started hearing slaps in sequence, accompanied with a female voice. We all looked to the direction of the latest drama. Honestly, i thought i had seen it all before.
It was from about 3 seats behind me. A man who was sitting beside a good looking chic was being slapped by her angrily. His guilt look was like that of a child who was caught stealing meat from a pot.
Ha! Surprisingly, we tried to understand the reason why this lady kept slapping the poor older man.
He was trying to finger me, mad man! He slid his two fingers into my skirt! She said (in Yoruba language).
Words failed me.
The man received almost a hundred of slaps as passengers (mostly guys) close to the seat registered their annoyance on his face. He was pushed away and punished to join standing passengers.
With a disdainful look, everyone started to discuss the issue.
(Both in Yoruba and English) That’s a bad attitude! He is a disgrace to men! Maybe he is not normal!
And the argument took another shape when some said; ‘He must have been seduced into acting that way, check out what the lady is wearing’.
It went worse when someone said the man might be a ritualist, a baddo.
Ermmmm…. Really? Okay, let me just keep hearing the arguments cos i won’t judge anyone. Could this be agro? I asked myself, laughing as i chatted to a friend about it on WhatsApp.
Soon, slaps resumed on the man. His eyes turned red already and he was looking like he’s going to die. I had to advise him; bros just go down and enter another bus if you don’t want a coma.
If someone told me this story, i wouldn’t have believed. What could this be? I don’t understand at all.
And one question remains accurately unanswered in my mind, Is this ‘Agro’, Seduction or Lunacy?
Funke Akindele’s husband JJC Skillz, has finally explained the reason why Juliana Olayode, popularly known as “Toyo Baby” left Jenifa’s diary.
He also dismissed reports that suggests that his cousin, Moe Musa left his house because of his actress wife.
“Moe has been in Nigeria then for almost six months, so he felt it was time to get his own place. To be honest, when you first relocate to Nigeria, you’ll find it very hard to stay alone because you don’t understand the system yet.
“The way things work in Nigeria is different from the way it works in other countries. Moe stayed with me for a while, so he could get used to the Nigerian system, how to get food, how Generator works and other confusing stuffs,” JJC Skillz said in his account of what led to Moe leaving his house.
He also debunked report linking him to the breakup between his wife and Toyosi, a character in Akindele’s comedy series, Jenifa Diary.
According to him, “I don’t know why Toyosi left and it has nothing to do with me. Just like any character in a TV series, she can go and return. The only permanent character in the series is Jenifa. Falz has gone and came back; Toyosi has gone and maybe will come back. Toyosi has gone, now she’s back.
“In the script, Toyosi is married and has gone to France with her husband to live for a while. So, anything can happen. When she comes back, you’d see her on screen, if not, then that’s what the script said.”
A University of Ibadan alumnus, Mr. Kayode Bello popularly called ‘Kay Bello’ has been expelled from the Nigerian Law School.
Until the time of his expulsion, Kayode Bello has been a student of the Nigerian Law School, Abuja campus.
The University of Ibadan graduate, who recently concluded the compulsory court attachment programme of the Nigerian Law School has been shown the way out of the Bar programme after a series of face off and encounter between him and the management of the institution The Page Reports.
It should be noted that the final Bar examination for this year comes up on August 15, 2017.
According to one of his colleagues, who spoke under the condition of anonymity, trouble had started for Kay Bello in Law School when he wrote a petition against the management of the Nigeria Law School over what he alleged as poor social welfare conditions.
It was stated that Kay Bello printed fliers and sort to mobilise his colleagues at the Abuja campus of Law school to stand against the management and demand for a better living condition in terms of conducive classrooms and hostel facilities to justify the expensive fees they had paid for the school.
However, It was gathered that after Kay Bello wrote the petition and submitted, the leadership of the Students’ Representatives Council of the Nigerian Law School in a letter to the management disowned him, stating that he was acting solely on his “own volition” and not representing the students’ interest.
We later learnt that he was queried and told to withdraw his petition but Kay Bello refused.
After the conclusion of the court attachment programme, THE PAGE was informed that there was a summary trial but he failed to show up.
In a Phone Call with Online Newspaper THEPAGE, Kay Bello confirmed the expulsion from the Nigerian Law School programme and added that he is currently working on getting a bigger platform to protest his expulsion.
According to him, “It is in connection with the petition. They want me to beg but you know that I will never beg.”
Meanwhile, the management has published a poster containing his expulsion information and pasted around the law school campus.
Another colleague speaking revealed that when Kay Bello was expelled, he refused to leave and was still using the school’s library when security officials had to bundled him out of the institution.
Recall that he was earlier rusticated from the University of Ibadan on April 13, 2010 following his involvement in a protest over hike in school fees in 2008.

A 10-year-old boy who is constantly hungry due to a rare condition eats rolls of toilet paper if he is unable to get any other food.
Caden Benjamin, from Standerton in South Africa, weighs 14 stone 2lbs (90 kilogrammes) because of his constant overeating.
He has been diagnosed with a genetic disorder called Prader-Willi syndrome, which is characterised by an obsessive compulsion to eat.
His mother Zola Benjamin says it means Caden will eat anything he can get his hands on.
‘At one point, Caden was eating toilet paper. He’d eat rolls of it,’ she said. ‘Actually, he’d eat any paper he would find in the house. If there’s nothing for him to eat, he’ll scrape together the dirt he finds on the floor and eat that.’
Prader-Willi syndrome is a rare, incurable disorder that affects thousands of people worldwide, resulting in physical, mental and behavioural problems.
Ms Benjamin has had to lock all her kitchen cabinets and her fridge and hide all food items in the house.
Caden struggles to move around and even breathe because he is so overweight.
He also suffers bouts of depression because he is unable to live like a normal child.
Guinean President, Alpha Condé, while addressing the country’s Council of Ministers in a meeting on Thursday, ordered all Muslims in the country to hold a 24-hour prayer for President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday.
According to GuineaNews, Conde who was expected to visit Nigeria in March but was unable to do so because of his health, expressed concern over his Nigerian counterpart’s health, and further asked that prayers be held in all mosques in the country in what he described as a day of prayers for Buhari.
Conde had in March reportedly spoken to President Buhari on the telephone. Buhari had earlier in January missed the 28th Ordinary Summit of the African Union held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in January 2017. Conde was elected AU chairperson in the event.

Indonesia’s President Joko Widodo has instructed law enforcement officers to shoot and kill drug traffickers to deal with a narcotics emergency facing the country.
“Be firm, especially to foreign drug dealers who enter the country and resist arrest. Shoot them because we indeed are in a narcotics emergency position now,” Widodo said in a speech delivered at an event held by one of Indonesia’s political parties late on Friday.
The order has now drawn a comparison to that of Philippine’s President Rodrigo Duterte, who launched a brutal anti-drug crackdown about a year ago that saw many alleged drug dealers killed.
Reuters reported that the bloody campaign in the Philippines has drawn condemnation from the international community, including the United Nations.
Indonesia also has tough laws against drugs. Widodo has previously been criticized for ordering executions against convicted drug traffickers who were given a death penalty by the court. Rights activists and some governments have called on Indonesia to abolish the death penalty.
Friday’s shooting order from Widodo came a week after Indonesian police shot dead a Taiwanese man in a town near the capital Jakarta.
The man, who was part of a group trying to smuggle one tonne of crystal methamphetamine into the country, was killed for resisting arrest, according to police report
After the incident, Indonesian National Police chief Tito Karnavian was quoted by media saying he had ordered officers not to hesitate shooting drug dealers who resist arrest.

The Executive Vice Chairman of the NCC, Umar Garba Dambatta made this known while speaking with the journalists.
This planned development is in response to the growing usage of data plans by Nigerian consumers.
Dambatta said:
“We have noticed that the level of data usage is growing. This attests to the earlier assertion by the NCC that data is going to be the next frontier.
“You recall that NCC attempted to do the interim price floor for data in order to ensure that we do not have a price war in the data sub-segment of the industry.
“This of course met with resistance from the consumers; and because the NCC is a listening agency, we suspended the interim price floor.
“As I am talking to you, there is a cost-based study going on in order to arrive at an accepted, affordable data price floor which will come into force as soon as the consultants’ work is concluded.
“That is, as soon as the outcome of this consultancy that is on-going over data price is discussed,.as usual, and is further consulted upon with other stakeholders who we expect will provide useful information towards arriving at an acceptable price floor for data.”
The Vice-Chairman also mentioned the intention of the commission to avail palliatives for smaller operators in the telecommunication industry.
“We are also looking at other temporary measures in other to ensure that data services improve.
“We are thinking about providing palliatives to smaller operators in the industry. I mean those with about 7.5 percent share of the market.
“We are in discussion with them in order to see how we can help them to provide data services in different part of the country even as we are talking with bigger operators to ensure that we find a way to improve the quality of data services”, he noted.
