Popular Nigerian filmmaker, Kunle Afolayan has just lost his maternal grandmother – he shared the news few hours ago on Instagram writing:
‘My mother called me this morning and was crying, before I ask what happened, she wailed and said Maami ti ku. Then I said to her “Maami, sebi mama ti dagba, then she goes ” sebi iya mi si ni” then I said ok but she’s old so e ma ke mo.
My grandmother should be about 100 years, the exact date of birth was not documented though but since my mother is 74year then her mother should be close to 100 if not more than. Ki oloun fi orun ke mama. Omo ati omo omo omo lo gbeyin won. Plenty cows very welcome. Orun’re mama’.
An unknown individual allegedly sent a DM to controversial journalist, Kemi Olunloyo alleging that actress and mother of two, Iyabo Ojo is not only sleeping with her church’s pastor, but also uses “juju” on him.
She also claims the Range Rover she drives was owned by the said pastor before he gave it to her – the journalist alleged this in an Instagram post which interestingly, the actress liked.
See below:
#Nollywood ACTRESS IYABO OJO IS A PROSTITUTE THAT USES JUJU ON PASTORS TO BED HER AND LAVISH HER WITH GIFTS churchmember tells @HNNAfrica
#HNNInvestigates #AccessNollywood Good morning Madam KOO. My name is Ebiye Patience and I’m a dedicated member of Salvation Ministries, Port Harcourt. Our Pastor, David Ibiyiomie is shamelessy frolicking with yoruba prostitute Iyabo Ojo. All these prostitutes in the name of actresses.
We learnt that he has been spending the church’s money on this girl and some other nollywood actresses to the point that Iyabo and Vivian Metchie had a nasty fight on him. After catching her in bed with a boy she picked from the club.
She has used juju on our pastor. The range rover 2008 model she uses now used to be in our pastor garage before he dashed her. The Toyota corolla she claimed she bought her PA last year is one of the cars that her former minister ex boyfriend dumped her after church gave its members for christmas.
This story was almost out last year but she paid off the press with cash and her body. She is a grade one harlot who picks little boys on the street to sleep with. Our pastor is gradually destroying Gods name as he is now a sugar daddy to iyabo ojo.
Even though she paid press, I know madam KOO is one who can’t be bought by money and will do investigation and let the world know the truth. @IyaboOjofespris and @DayoAmusa visits all herbalists everywhere. Our pastor is even building a house for this girl as I speak. They should stop destroying Nollywood. Pls fish out this prostitutes.
Pastor has a hidden house in PH that’s were he houses Iyabo anytime he wants to see her. She is also dating a series of men. Hustling between them all so that she can form big lifestyle with money gotten from them all. There is no herbalist that doesn’t know her. She pretends to be nice but inside, she is a snake. She has a shop off Allen but she sells nothing.
You can send someone there to investigate. You’d meet no one. Its a cover up for her prostitution business. She should definitely be exposed. Every prostitute must be fished out. God bless you ma.
I have reached out to Iyabo Ojo on these allegations. No response yet. #madamhnn?
Disturbing photos which are making rounds on Facebook, shows the spoilt beans that were allegedly distributed to displaced persons at the Teachers Village camp and Gamboru camp.
According to user, Yaga Allen, IDPs at the camps were given these spoilt beans to cook and eat last Wednesday and yesterday Thursday.
Chibok leader and spokesperson, Manasseh Alleh, quickly rushed to verify the situation and reportedly discovered the IDPs have been waiting for 42 days before finally getting this as food.
In January, controversial On Air Personality, Freeze took to his IG page to call out a lady, Kiibati Bankole, the host of Merrybet Celebrity Fans Challenge, for owing him money and ignoring his calls.
The lady has finally broken her silence after he called her out again yesterday. Read what he posted yesterday below:
And she responded as thus:
“Dear Mr. Freeze,
I have tried to steer clear of your endless attempts at cyber bullying and casting aspersions at my image, but your most recent rants have left me no choice but to respond to your allegations.
My friends know that unlike you, I do not engage in attention seeking stunts online or laundering my linen in public.
I am a very private person, with a very small but closely knit circle of friends.
I find your decision to take to social media to spout your allegations highly disappointing, considering your age (I assume you are close to 50 and are considered an ‘egbon’), and that you have both my phone numbers, know where my studio/office is and are in touch with many of our mutual colleagues in the broadcast industry.
Now, you made some allegations that are ridiculous and blatantly false:
The first was that I BEGGED you to ‘help me out’ by participating at my event- Celebrity FC on the 3rd of December.
Now that claim is ridiculous.
First of all, at the event, we had superstars like Olamide, Tuface Idibia, Awilo Longomba, Falz TheBahdGuy, Burna Boy, Peter of P Square, Humblesmith, just to name a few.
The event had over 30 of Nigeria’s most beloved celebrities come together in the name of the beautiful game- football, and no disrespect intended Sir, but you do not match up to any of those guys in name or stature.
I contacted you to ask you to help me invite your friend DJ Exclusive to the event, who we know is a staunch Manchester United fan and loved by many.
While bargaining with you on his appearance fee, you gave me the condition that I must invite you as well. We had no plans to invite you because you did not fit the profile of the calibre of celebrities we invite.
You however insisted and charged me the sum of N900,000 for you and DJ Exclusive to split. I found that odd, but felt I had no choice, since I really wanted Exclusive at the event.
You asked me to send you a text message with the offer for you to show DJ Exclusive which I did.
To spice up the deal, you offered to promote the event for two weeks on your show on Cool FM and asked me to send you a media partnership proposal which I did.
Following our conversation on phone, I presented our discussion to my team, who expressed dissatisfaction and said they did not want you at the show, but Exclusive alone. They said you do not match up to the celebrities coming for the show and said we should instead invite your colleague Dotun who will attract the hip, young urban crowd in Lagos to the event.
I did not know how to tell you this as I did not want to hurt your feelings.
I told them about your offer to promote the event for free, which softened their stance a little, but did not totally convince them.
FYI, all the celebrities that came for the event were given official invitation letters/MOUs either physically or by email and were paid at least 2 or 3 months to the event, except for last minute additions.
You eventually told me that the management of Cool FM denied your request to run the promo of the event on your show, which left my team with no choice but to decide to dis-invite you, as they saw no justification for paying you to attend the event without getting any value from you.
According to them, no one will purchase a ticket to a concert to watch Freeze.
I thought this was harsh, and couldn’t figure out how to break the news to you, so I kept coming up with ways to buy time, hoping you would take the hint by my refusal to pick your calls atimes. But you eventually helped me out when you told my people a week to the show that DJ Exclusive was pulling out.
This came as a bit of relief to us and my team told you not to bother to come anymore as Exclusive was supposed to be your partner at the show.
After my team asked you not to come, you began to harrass and stalk my phone, calling me endlessly, but I couldn’t pick your calls and asked my managers to speak with you. I couldn’t pick your calls because I was the host of the show and had to focus on rehearsing for the event with my co-host Seyi Law. I was losing my voice and my team insisted that I stay off the phone to save my voice and energy.
So, you were told not to come for the show, but imagine my shock when on the day of the event, I came down to the celebrity lounge backstage and saw you.
You came along to the event with an actor we hadn’t invited. You were drinking all kinds of Spirits began harrasing the stage manager to let you go on stage and play.
The stage manager concluded by your harassment that you were just being a passionate football fan and eventually let you go on stage to play with the celebrity friend you brought to the event.
At no point did I ‘contract’ you to be at the show as you have widely claimed, unless the word ‘contract’ has taken on a different meaning.
The second false claim you made was that you tried to call me for a month and I wasn’t picking your calls.
This Sir is a blatant lie (or ‘alternative fact’ as Kellyanne Conway would say), as I travelled out of the country soon after the event and was away in Dubai for the Christmas and New year holidays and my phones were unreachable. My instagram posts in this period confirm this.
I took the break to recuperate after the event and regain my mental and physical strength.
I was away for over 3 weeks, so you couldn’t have been calling me all this while, as you claim.
As soon as I landed after my trip, you began to call my phone. You called me two or three times, and I didn’t pick your calls because I was still settling down, following my trip; but imagine my surprise when two days later you took to instagram to attack me.
You did not send me a single text, email, direct message on Twitter or Instagram or reach out to me via members of my team but instead chose the cowardly way out with your subtle blackmail and cyber bullying.
I understand that there is a recession in Nigeria at the moment and you may have been broke and desperate for some cash, but as a friend, I would have helped you with some cash if you had just done the decent thing by reaching out to me via text or by being patient for me to return your calls, which I would have after I settled down from my trip.
This, as you know, was not my first time dealing with you. I have paid you a lot of cash in the past for different promos on Cool FM. You can recall that I paid you N300,000 regularly sometime in 2015 to promote some kid artists on your show. I can tender my account statements as proof of this.
Your social media antics however, are a declaration of war and put an end to any attempt at friendship with you.
Please Sir, stop your cowardly attempts at cyber bullying me or harrassing my clients Merrybet- the most reputable sports betting firm in Nigeria and address your alleged grievances via the appropriate legal channels.
I don’t want to believe that you cannot afford a lawyer Sir.
Please stop your cowardly attacks and take up whatever issues you believe you have against me in court or with the appropriate authorities and desist from your public attacks.
Thank you.”
The Big Brother Naija: See Gove housemates have so far, spent more than 3 weeks inside the Big Brother Naija house… we all have certainly made our acquaintances well enough, so it shouldn’t be hard to put a name to the face of this housemate in these throwbacks.
In the photo above he is the little baby sitting on his dad’s legs. See another photo of him below:
When BBNaija housemate, Gifty claimed she didn’t know popular Nigerian singers, Falz and Banky W and Emmanuel Ikubese, social media was set on fire with her comment with many hating on her “ingenuity” and her being a fake and all.
Well, Nollywood actress Funke Akindele, kinda shares that light as she fired off tweets that also had Nigerians talking and reacting.
Jenifa reacted and said that Gifty was fake, a liar who needed attention and better off as a mannequin rather than an actress.
And Nigerians reacted, some good, some bad… just follow the thread below:

Franco-German Technical adviser of the Super Eagles, Gernot Rohr has shared his excitement during his visit to the popular Balogun market in Lagos.
Rohr resides officially in Abuja and mostly travels to Uyo for Nigeria’s games hence he’s hardly in Lagos that’s why he was very happy when he finally spent time in one of Nigeria’s commercial hub.
Rohr, 63, who has had a successful run so far as coach of the team, says he also took a photo of the market and will send it to Nigerian defender Leon Balogun because he believes that’s where his father hails from.
“We went to Balogun market, it was wonderful and a big crowd and some people spoke about football. You must beat Cameroon’ they kept telling me,” Rohr told Super Eagles YouTube page.
“I took a photo because I will send it to Leon Balogun. His father comes from there, I think. I had a beautiful day in Lagos. In this big city, very nice people, everybody is big on hospitality.
“I spend some time in Lagos, I have seen not only the final of the Federation Cup. I saw the Super Cup final in Abuja before coming back to Lagos.”
An elderly woman was murdered by some robbers who stormed her home at G.G Dake in Kaduna state two days ago. According to Rariya, one of the robbers slaughtered her like a ram after she recognized him.
The police is currently on the trail of the robbers. The deceased has since been buried according to Islamic rites.
A new study has claimed that if you have body odour, you can treat it by rubbing the sweat of a more fragrant family member under your armpit and this will help treat your body odour.
The research which was led by Dr Chris Callewart from the University of California, San Diego, found that applying the sweat of another person without body odor, treats body odour by replacing strong-smelling armpit bacteria with some that do not smell as bad, causing your armpits to be tricked into breeding nicer smelling bacteria.
The method of treatment which is called bacteria transplant was tested on two identical twins – one of whom suffered from bad body odour, while the other had little to no smell.
The twin without body odour was told not to bath for four days so as to produce more of his non-smelling sweat while the twin with body odour was told to bath every day using antibacterial soap.
Dr Callewart proceeded to rub the sweat of the twin without body odour on the other twin who has body odour and they found that the twin with body odour became treated of his bad smell and has been odour free for over a year now.
The experiment has been done several times again and the result has been steady so far.
Two 2016 Batch B Stream 2 members of the National Youth Service Corps have lost their lives along the Taraba Benue road as they were returning home from the 21 days orientation camp.
The bus which was reported to be conveying mostly youth corps members from Taraba to Benue state got two corps members killed and the rest injured. The corps members are yet to be identified as at the time of publishing this post.
A painter, Mr. Ese Akpan, had told his family on Tuesday that he was going out to get the money owed him by a construction company.
He, however, did not get to his destination, as he was killed by a stray bullet from a police team escorting a bullion van to a bank.
According to a Closed-Circuit Television camera, which captured the scene, Ese was shot at exactly 1.45pm on Old Aba Road, Rumuomasi, Port-Harcourt, Rivers State.
PUNCH Metro, which obtained footage of the incident, observed that Camera 4 captured Ese as he
walked along the road while the police van came behind.
The second side, captured by Camera 1, showed a woman with a baby standing at the bus stop as Ese approached.
There was a sudden gunshot which hit the 60-year-old, while the frightened woman fled the sight.
About two minutes afterwards, some sympathisers, including workers of First Rivers Hospital Limited, a private facility in front of which the incident occurred, rushed to help the victim.
An official at the hospital, who did not want to be identified, said a few minutes after the victim was taken to the hospital, a man came in to check on him.
He said:
“The man said the escort team was coming from an eatery at Rumukoro where the operatives had gone to pick some money. He said they were heading towards a bank in the area and he was driving behind the van when they fired the shot. He said they usually did that when they approached where they were taking money to. Unfortunately, the man was hit by the bullet. He told us to save his life.”
A senior official at the hospital, who spoke for the management, said efforts by the hospital to save Ese were abortive.
“Our doctors, nurses and matrons were all involved in the battle to save his life. He lost a lot of blood. The bullet destroyed his internal organs. We took him to the theatre, and our workers even donated three pints of blood to save him, but he died. He was able to give us his name and address before passing on,” she added.
She noted that the hospital reported the matter to a police station in the area.
The widow of the victim, Mrs. Christiana Akpan, said when she attempted to report the case at the Area Command, Moscow Road, she was chased out of the command.
She added that when she went to the governor’s office, she was not given any audience.
Christiana told PUNCH Metro that her husband had left the house with a plan to demand payment of a debt owed him by a construction company.
She said,
“He worked as a painter and had executed a project for a construction company last year. He used the money that we saved for our house rent to complete the project. The firm paid him part, but still owed him about N266,900.
“Since that time, he had been going to ask for the balance without any result. Our landlady recently served us a notice to quit and he became desperate to recover the money.
“On Tuesday, January 31, around 1pm, we both left the house and when we got to Mile 1, we parted ways. I went to see a friend, while he went to the company. It was not up to one hour that I was called that my husband had been shot.
“I went to report at the area command, but immediately I said policemen shot my husband, I was chased out. I went to the governor’s office and I was sent away like a thief.”
PUNCH Metro learnt that the deceased, who was survived by four children, had been taken by the family to a mortuary in his hometown in the Essien Udium Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State.
The family’s first child, Kingsley, demanded that the government bring the culprits to book and pay the damages.
“Before my dad died, he told me that he was shot by the police. The police are silent about the case and have refused to do anything. We want the government to bury him and pay damages,” he added.
Another member of the family, Blessing, asked the authorities not to sweep the case under the carpet.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Omoni Nnamdi, said he was not aware of the incident, promising to get back to PUNCH Metro.

A robbery suspect shocked newsmen and the police when he said he believes it’s God’s will that he become an armed robber after he was arrested for robbery barely two months after he left prison for the same crime.
According to Hussein Mohammed, there is nothing that happens without God’s knowledge as he is the one that created good and evil.
The trio of Salawu Nurudeen, Hussein Mohammed and Ogunbiyi Kola a.k.a. Timmy are ex-jailbirds.
The Nation reports that while Nurudeen left prison in July 2016, the other two came out in August same year. But with their recent arrest along with two others by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad in Oyo State Police Command, it is most likely that they have paved way for their return to the prison.
According to the Commissioner of Police in Oyo State, Mr Sam Adegbuyi, Nurudeen (25), Mohammed (35), Timmy (23), Oriowo Ayo (28) and Ahmadu Garuba (30) were arrested in November 2016 for armed robbery.
They had gone to Arafat Area of Saki town and robbed a family of their valuables, including cash, a Toyota Corolla car, phones and laptops at gunpoint.
The victim, Alhaji Badmus (surname withheld), who spoke with Metro said:
“The armed robbers entered my compound in Saki on November 21, 2016 at about 7.45p.m., and held my family members hostage. As I was returning home at about 9.50p.m., I called my wife and daughter, unknown to me that they had been held hostage, though they allowed them to use their phones so that I would not suspect anything.
“As I drove in, two of the armed robbers (pointed at them among the suspects) jumped out, put a gun at my chest and asked me to cooperate with them. As I looked at them, wondering what was happening, one of them said ‘continue looking at our faces; we have been told that you are very stubborn,’ warning me of the consequences of the action I might be thinking of taking as my wife and other children were taken hostage inside the house.
“I surrendered to them and as we entered into my residence, one of them gave me a slap on the neck. They demanded for gold, money, receipt to my plasma TV and wristwatches I bought from Makkah, Saudi Arabia, when I went on holy pilgrimage.
“They asked me to lie down and started ransacking my house. When they were through, they locked me up in a room with my family members and left. They went with six phones, my daughter’s laptop, clothings, my wife’s gold jewellery and my car.
After the escape of the armed robbers, a distress call was made to the police, which was followed up by a unit of SARS at Ogbomoso/Oyo axis, leading to the arrest of the suspects.
Recovered from them were an English-made pistol, six live ammunition, a Toyota Corolla car belonging to the victim, a Microsoft cell phone and two wristwatches.
One of the suspects, Nurudeen, confessed to being an armed robber.
“It is true we went to rob. I did not enter the victim’s house with other gang members; I stayed outside. His car was handed over to me after the operation. I met Timmy and Mohammed a.k.a Goodluck in Ilesa prison.
When we got talking, I told them I needed a vehicle and they promised to work with me after leaving the prison to achieve my desire. I was a driver before I went to prison for fighting. I was arrested with the car we collected from our victim on the same day at Sabe on Saki-Iseyin Road.”
Another suspect, Mohammed from Gombe State, also confessed to being an armed robber.
Metro learnt that he was arrested in 2005 for robbery and remanded in Agodi prison in Ibadan till his release in 2006. In 2012, he reportedly robbed in Ilesa and was in prison till July 2016 when he got his freedom.
But Mohammed said:
“I went to prison because the police were looking for my friends whom they suspected of committing armed robbery.”
When asked why he chose robbery after his experience as prison inmate, the suspect replied:
“I believe it is God’s will that I graduated to being an armed robber in the prison. There is nothing that happens without God’s knowledge. He is the one that created good and evil.”
Speaking further, he said:
“I knew Timmy in a hemp joint at Ojoo area of Ibadan. A man, an Alhaji who said he was a Tokunbo dealer at Ago Are told us he needed vehicles and gave us a gun to snatch vehicles for him. A guy we met in the prison linked us with Alhaji. I spent three years in prison and came out in July 2016. This is the first time I would be working for Alhaji.
Timmy, on his own part, said:
“I will blame the police for charging me court over a fight in which I stabbed someone with a bottle. I knew it was not a good deed, but it was anger that pushed me into the act. It was when I went to prison that I became connected with armed robbers.
“In the prison, I connected with Nurudeen and one Ojo who linked us with Alhaji in Ago Are town. I came out of prison in August 2016. I was the one keeping the gun that was given to us by Alhaji.”
Metro learnt that Nurudeen, Mohammed and Timmy were charged to Saki Magistrates’ court on February 8 and were remanded in Oyo Prisons. The case was adjourned till April 22, pending an advice from the Director of Public Prosecution. (DPP).
As it has become customary for the TV Personality to visit his late best friend’s graveside every year since she passed away, Denrele paid a visit to Goldie’s graveside today.
Sharing photos via his Instagram page, he wrote:
“You can shed tears that she’s gone,Or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she comes back, Or you can open your eyes and see all she has left.
Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her, Or you can be full of the love that you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, Or you can be happy for tomorrow cos of yesterday.
You can remember her and only that she’s gone, Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind, Be empty and turn your back.Or you can do what SUSAN ADEBIMPE “GOLDIE” HARVEY would have wanted;
Smile, Open your eyes, Love and Go on!
4 Years and it still feels like yesterday. Keep resting in the bosom of the Lord.
LOVE YOU GOLDIE.”
