“At this point I am exhausted!

I woke up this morning with different messages and calls from concerned friends over an allegation made against me by Gistlover and her cohorts!

First and foremost, I am a mother and a passionate one at that.
I will NEVER wish death upon anyone talk more of someone’s child.

If I have ever thought or wished death upon anyone let it happen to me and mine!

I did giveaway sometime in July on my Facebook page (sarahmartins tv) which I posted here and I clearly said I would randomly choose my winners on Facebook which I did and one miss Uzochi Sandra was among the 10 active followers I chose and credited with 5k each.

Someone from the pit of hell, saw where the lady dropped an evil comment against May Yul Edochie’s daughter and went back to my giveaway that she won sometimes ago and took a screenshot of it and then merged my picture to it and started circulating disgusting lies against me saying I paid her to kee Daniella the first daughter of May Edochie and the evil news has been flying round the internet.

Of what benefit is it to me to even think ill of May and her children?????
This is a very heavy accusation and it is evil for someone to wake up and formulate such a heavy lie just to trend💔

I have no hand in this, never have and never will!
Please you’all should stay away from me….
I’ve had enough already!!!!!!

Note: I have NEVER met the said lady before, I do not have any form of relationship with her. She’s just a fan that attacks May’s fans same way they attack me.

The recently-crowned UFC bantamweight champion said this during his recent appearance as a guest on Bradley Martyn’s “Raw Talk” podcast.

“I’m a king, I pay for everything. I treat Danya like a queen. If I get a little puss on the side, what does that have to do with anything? I have testosterone running through my veins; it’s simple.

If I wasn’t paying for everything, if I wasn’t, you know, successful in any sort of way, and I was just like maybe an average Joe, I probably wouldn’t. It probably wouldn’t be fair. But I’m f–king King Kong baby.”

“I don’t know why a man will be above 24 and not be married” — Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo says

Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo says

Popular Nigerian clergyman and relationship coach, Kingsley Okonkwo has questioned why some men are still single at the age of 24.

Preaching in his local church recently, Pastor Kingsley asserted that he doesn’t understand why some men are above 24 and not married.

Lady gives savage response to man who advised Igbo men against marrying a woman who can’t cook Igbo soups

Lady gives

A young woman has warmed the hearts of many after giving a savage response to an Igbo men over his advise to his kinsmen.

The man had taken to Twitter to advise his fellow Igbo men not to marry a woman who does not know how to cook Igbo local dishes.

According to him, one of the criteria men should look out for when choosing a wife is her ability to cook their local delicacies because they will pass down the knowledge to their daughters.

Lady gives

The man had tweeted;

“Dear igbo men,

Never you marry a woman who doesn’t know how to cook our Igbo local dishes.

Remember that your daughter will learn from the mother not from the father when it comes to cooking.

It’s quite unfortunate that millions of igbo women cannot cook a proper Igbo local dishes “ soup” like

•Ofe Onugbu – onugbu soup.

•Ofe oha – Oha Soup.

•Ofe Achara- Achara Soup.

•Ofe Okwuru – Okra Soup.

•Ofe Ogbono – Ogbono Soup.

•Ofe Okazi – Okazi Soup.

•Ofe Akwu – Ofe Akwụ soup.

•Ofe Egwusi – Egusi Soup.

Etc…. They’re always angry and jealous when a foreigner takes over their men, cook for them and appreciate them for loving them tirelessly and continuously! Wokeness and wrong understanding of feminism has taken over many Igbo women.

Wokeness is a mental illness that needs to be treated!.“

In response, the woman, who is also Igbo, dished out a similar advise to women, advising them against marrying a man who can’t tap palmwine and perform other traditional Igbo men duties.

She wrote,

“Dear Igbo ladies,

Never you marry an Igboman that cannot tap palmwine.

Remember how important palmwine is to the Igbo culture.

Your kids deserve a father that is well knowledgeable on Igbo culture, not a “CITY BOY”.

Tap palmwine…. No

Hunt antelope….. No

Weave basket…….. No

Roof our thatch kitchen….No

We deserve better.

I can take online classes on how to cook, but Okonkwo doesn’t hold online classes on Palmwine tapping techniques.“

This evidently didn’t sit well with the “traditional man” and he lambasted and called her ‘shameless’.

NFF no longer owing Super Falcons – NFF President, Ibrahim Gusau

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has officially confirmed that there are no longer any outstanding payments owed to the senior female football team, known as the Super Falcons.

Ibrahim Gusau, the President of the NFF, delivered this announcement on Thursday, August 24th, during his appearance before the House ad-hoc committee following a summons.

During the committee session, it was highlighted that the NFF has already settled the match bonuses and allowances owed to the Super Falcons, and these payments were disbursed the previous Friday.

Responding to inquiries from Blessing Oni, the chairman of the ad hoc committee, regarding unpaid allowances for the Super Falcons during the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup, Gusau clarified that no funds were allocated for that event. However, he disclosed that in the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup hosted by Australia and New Zealand, a sum of $960,000 was distributed among all 32 qualifying countries.

Gusau elaborated that this financial allocation from FIFA was designated for the preparation of the participating teams for the upcoming World Cup, and it couldn’t be directed towards settling outstanding allowances from the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup.

Inquiring about the funding of the Super Falcons’ participation in the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup held in France, the Chairperson of the House ad hoc committee, Onu, expressed dissatisfaction with the NFF’s explanation. Consequently, she instructed the NFF to provide documentation by August 30, 2023, detailing how the Super Falcons were financed during the 2019 tournament, including a breakdown of match bonus payments for the 23 players and the coaching staff.

Based on the findings of the ad hoc committee’s investigation into the NFF’s financial sources, the President of the NFF clarified that their primary funding typically comes from both CAF and FIFA.

Furthermore, the NFF underscored that their operational expenses are not supported by the Federal Government. Instead, the federation relies on funding from FIFA to cover these costs.

“Nobody owes me anything” – 2face Idibia speaks on young artistes recognizing his legendary status

Popular Nigerian singer, 2face Idibia has averred that the next generation of singers owe him no recognition as a legend.

The 47-year-old singer, who is well recognized and highly rated as one of the best musicians Africa has ever produced, shared this during a recent episode of the Afrobeats podcast, which is hosted by Adesope Olajide, aka Shopsydoo

According to him, it felt good when he was recognized, but he does not take it personally when he isn’t because no one owes him any form of recognition as everyone has their own stories to tell.

He said.

“Nobody owes me anything. For me, it [my legendary status] is there. It’s never going to go away. It doesn’t reduce who I’m if young artistes don’t recognize my legendary status.

The only thing is, definitely I appreciate it when people recognize my status as a legend. There’s nobody that won’t appreciate that. I appreciate when people recognize me, but I don’t take it too personal when they don’t. That one na the person’s ignorance.

Nobody owes anyone anything because everybody that comes they are going to tell their own stories. They are not going to start telling my own story. Every artist that comes up now, even if they get inspiration from me or anybody, they are going to use it to elevate themselves. And that is their own stories.”

“Filling O2 Arena not my priority, I want a billion dollars in my account” – Shatta Wale

Popular Ghanaian singer, Shatta Wale, has claimed that although other musicians aspire to perform at the legendary O2 Arena, his goal is to amass enormous amounts of money in his bank account.

The Dancehall artist claimed that he has achieved his goals in the music business and no longer cares about what others think of him.

Shatta stated this during a recent Twitter Space held by the Ghanaian media personality Serwaa Amihere on Wednesday.

According to him, he does not see the need to promote Ghana abroad when Ghanaians treat him poorly and refer to him as a drug addict.

He claimed that having one billion dollars in his account is more important to him than having sold-out shows as his main objective as an entertainer.

In his words,

“You people call me a drug addict, why should I risk my life to fill a place for Ghanaians or the music industry? I am okay, I wanted to buy house, lands and investments, I am okay, so filling the O2 is not my priority, my priority is to keep a billion dollars in my account , that is where I am at right now. Nobody should disturb me about filling the 02 or my music.

After I filled the Accra Sports stadium, Ghanaians should have given me a helping hand to fill the 02 because I am not from London to be able to fill up the 02.

Asake alone could not fill the 02 , industry players contributed so if the Ghanaian industry is trying to burst someone who single-handedly filled the sports stadium without any promos, what more can I do”.

A Magistrates Court sitting in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, has convicted one Adegoke Akinleye and Adediran Adewole of robbing their boss, Ibukun Sanusi, of 404 pieces of catfish.

Following their arraignment on two charges of felony and catfish theft valued at N606,000, the defendants—ex-workers on a farm in Ilewo, Abeokuta—were sentenced by Justice O.O. Odumosu on Wednesday.

She gave the two guilty parties separate sentences of six months each for the first offense and a year each for the second count.

The prosecutor, Olakunle Shonibare, told the court that the offences committed on January 24, 2023, contravened Sections 516(1) and 382(2) of the Criminal Code Laws of Ogun State.

The charge read in part; “That you, Akinleye Adegoke, Adewole Adediran and others at large on January 24, 2023 at about 12noon at Abidelep Farm and Agro-Service Limited, Ilewo, Orile, Abeokuta in the magisterial district did conspire to commit felony and thereby committed an offence contrary and punishable under Section 516(1) of the Criminal Laws of Ogun State.

In response, Kiddwaya insisted on his willingness to go through with his promise.

“If she had walked out holding my hand back to stage, I would have given her the money. I wanted to see how daring she is. I would have given her the money and posted it on Instagram,” he stated.

Court sentences Yahoo boy to community service over $270 fraud

A Federal Capital Territory High Court sitting in Kubwa has sentenced one Abass Aminu Abdulkareem to community service term for a $270 scam.

The defendant was charged by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) with one count of alleged internet fraud before Justice O. I. Adelaja.

Aminu received the money from Amanda, an American lady, by pretending to be her cousin on Facebook under the name Jeremiah Lincoln, the anti-graft agency alleged.

The EFCC stated that the offense violated Section 321 of the Penal Code Law (Laws of the Federation, Abuja) 1990 and was penalized under Section 324 of the same Law when it announced the Yahoo boy’s conviction through its official Twitter account.

The charge read, “That you, Abass Aminu Abdulkareem sometime in 2023 at Abuja within the jurisdiction of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory cheated by personation when you represented yourself on a Facebook profile page as Jeremiah Lincoln, a citizen of the United States of America and under that name obtained the sum of Two Hundred and Seventy United States Dollars ($270) from Amanda, a cousin to Jeremiah Lincoln and you thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 321 of the Penal Code Law (Laws of the Federation, Abuja) 1990 and punishable under Section 324 of the same Law.”

To the charge, the defendant entered a guilty plea. Following his plea, Justice Adelaja found Abdulkareem guilty and sentenced him to community service under the supervision of officers from the Nigerian Correctional Service.

The offender also surrenders to the federal government his iPhones 12 Pro and XR.

“Ifunanya not our member” – Aba NBA denies controversial lawyer

The Aba state chapter of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has disputed claims that Ifunanya Excel Grant, a controversial Nigerian lawyer and social media ‘slay queen,’ is a member of the organization.

The denial was communicated through a formal statement issued by Innocent O. Egwu, Esq., the Chairman of the NBA in Aba, along with Secretary Mazi K.C. Okoro.

The bar was responding to rumors that the Aba Branch was Ifunanya’s NBA home.

“For the records, we wish to state categorically that Miss Ifunanya Excel Grant is not a member of the NBA, Aba Branch, and she is unknown to NBA, Aba Branch.

While we support every effort of our great association, the NBA, to rid the legal profession of the few bad eggs, we must request that painstaking efforts be taken by officers concerned to ensure that innocent and law-abiding practitioners are not unwittingly held out in bad light to the public,” the statement reads in part.

This came after calls for her to be prosecuted for inappropriate social media conduct involving drug abuse and nudity.
