Minister for Power, Babatunde Fashola, who was the guest speaker at the 12th Monthly Power Sector and Stakeholders’ Meeting in Ibadan, the Oyo state capital revealed that like normal Nigerian citizen, he will resist paying his electricty bills over poor services.
According to him,
“The 3,500MW to 3,800MW that we have been able to keep on the grid over the last few months will be assisted greatly if we can have the gas pipelines back and add 3,000MW to it. That means we will be able to deliver well over 6,000MW if the gas pipelines are safe.
“Consumers are more resistant to payment when they don’t have electricity, and I will be, too, and you will be too.
“We see that they [consumers] pay more when the power is more stable. Of course, there are issues also at the retail end – metering, estimated bills” he said.
The Minister also stressed that consumers can also help improve power services in the country by saying NO to criminal actvities.
“You will see that government has begun to act. The Vice President, representing the President, is going round those Niger Delta communities, engaging them more openly, more robustly.
“The idea is to bring them to the table to stop the vandalism while the issues that agitate them can be treated and resolved. I believe that if we are successful as we expect to be, we should be able to, sometimes, this year recover all the 3,000MW that has been lost to gas pipeline outages.”

A 70-year-old woman, identified simply as Mrs. Egunjobi, a London returnee, has allegedly been raped to death by a 33-year-old Dare Garuba, New Telegraph reports.
The incident occurred in Egunjobi’s shop at Mowe in Ofada-Mokolokin Local Council Development Area of Ogun State. Witnesses yesterday said that the woman had taken two bottles of Alomo gin and became intoxicated.
When she started misbehaving, the suspect reportedly offered to lead her home so that she would not be injured.
However, when Garuba led Egunjobi into her shop, he decided to take advantage of her. The incident, which occurred about 11p.m. on Sunday, forced some of the traders in the area to shut down their shops yesterday when the news of her death filtered into town.
It was learnt that the suspect was the only one who approached Egunjobi and called the attention of some of the residents to the woman.
The Coordinator of Oodua People’s Congress (OPC) in the area, Mr. Bamidele Ayeyemi, said they were outside about 11p.m. when a Hausa man, who went to defecate in a nearby bush close to the woman’s shop, discovered that her shop opened. According to Ayeyemi, the man raised the alarm, thinking that armed robbers had broken into the shop.
He said:
“Some of my boys and I, immediately we heard the man shouting thief, thief, we called for reinforcement and went round the market.
Unfortunately, when we moved closed to the woman’s shop, the suspect opened the door and bolted. “When the suspect was trying to escape from the scene, one of us was able to identify him as Dare. That was how we started searching for him in the community.”
The body inside the shop Gov. Umahi Another resident, who identified himself simply as Balogun, said after the remains of the woman had been taken care of; they went to report the incident to the head of the community and policemen at Mowe Division.
He said: “What surprised us was that it was the same suspect who promised to take care of the woman so as not to sustain injuries that later took advantage of her.
We searched the community for about four hours before we finally apprehended him in the ceiling of an uncompleted building where he was hiding.
We then handed him over to the police for appropriate action.”
It was learnt that Garuba was still making love to the woman without knowing that she had died.
The Divisional Police Officer (DPO), Mowe Police Division, was said to be at the scene of the incident with the woman’s husband. But the widower refused to comment on his wife’s death.
Garuba’s mother, Mrs. Jumoke Musa, said she was fed up with the attitude of her son. She said: “I have done everything to prevent him from becoming a hoodlum. I left him with his father’s family after his father’s death because I have remarried and I did not want to endure his way of life.
“Even while staying with me in my present place, I have bailed him countless times for different offences he has committed in the community.”
The victim’s body was in her shop, covered with a piece of cloth yesterday.
Popular Nollywood actor, Mr Ime ‘Bishop’ Umoh, who was recently appointed Special Assistant to Governor Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom State on Ethical and Social Reorientation, was robbed on Monday in Warri, Delta State where he went to for an event.
The robbers who threatened to kill the actor, also took his phones and money.
The incident got his wife disturbed and here’s what she wrote on Instagram;
“So pathetic that the more we pray for a better Nigeria, the more things become so sour. Few minutes ago, I had a call from a strange number and the voice I heard was my hubby’s.
“I was surprised to receive a call from him with a strange number. He said ‘Baby pray for me, I’ve just been robbed by robbers in Warri, and all my gadgets and money have been taken away from me, threatening to kill me also. I’m stranded and the event I’m supposed to attend here, I can’t make it anymore, no contact to communicate with anyone for direction, except yours.’
“For the first time I’m feeling this way, how on earth can someone do this to another man, even to the one that God has given to this country and the world as a gift of antismile to clear away people’s sadness.
“I pray only to God to touch their minds, and as they have said, they will return the phones and other items taken, but only and if money will be paid to them without informing the police, which is not a problem,” Idara lamented.
“I pray for my husband’s safety and that of my family, may God continue to keep and preserve my household, also pray for the safety of all my husband’s colleagues @jnrpope @walteranga @mikegodson @empressnjamah,@funkymallam @daniellaokeke @mikeezu and all of them. Safety is yours @Okon Lagos.”

Nigerian singer, Terry G, replied trolls who called him out for being in possession of a fake rolex which he showed off on his IG handle.
The trolls had sent a picture of the rolex watch he posted on his handle to luxury designer, Malivelihood, who said it is 110% fake.
The singer is less bothered whether the watch is real or fake, all that matters is that he bought it with his hard earned money.
The phone conversation between the U.S President, Donald Trump and medically unfit, President Buhari, has sparked controversy as a lot of people don’t seem to believe it actually happened.
Nigerians took to their social media account to air how they felt about reports of the phone call. Some reactions below:

Tonto Dikeh in a reply to a concerned fan’s open letter has revealed that she and her husband, Churchill Olakunle are no longer together and he has not called to check up on her and their son since she left.
She also said she blocked his access to her for the sake of her emotional stability. Read what she wrote below:
“Dear ‘concerned’ fan, Good day.
How are you and your family? My regards, love and greetings to them.
Now to address a little bit of your letter, firstly I say I do appreciate your concern. Then I move on to say thank you. When a woman leaves her husband, she takes her child because absolutely nothing else matters to her but the child. This is what I did and I happily give all access for his father to see him. Now my question to you is that did your source also tell you that he has never called for once to Ask how his son is doing? I will admit, I personally blocked his access to me for the sake of my emotional stability. But nonetheless he has the nannys no, my assistants contact,my part time helps number, and many other mediums of reaching the son your source claims I “took away”. He could use all possible mediums wisely if he wished to.
Secondly I will let you go on the ill talk on smoking as I would love to believe you were just sent and ignored my drug test result or you never even saw it in the first place..
As an acclaimed “concerned fan” I expect you to pray and not to indirectly throw “concerned” shades..
What goes on in my marriage and home is my personal life, i’m grateful for all the years of support you all have been giving me but when it comes to the matters of the heart have enough respect to let us go thru our moments alone.. Like I said earlier your prayers for wisdom on both parties wld be more appreciated. No one knows what goes on behind close doors…I chose to make you believe and see what I wanted you all to see in order to protect even those that did not deserve protection. My dear friend that’s called marriage!!! God bless you immensely for even thinking about my family, God has never failed, God never sleeps nor slumbers, He is a just God. He never brings us this far to leave us, We will be ok.. Once again thank you so much my “concerned” friend and have a blessed day!!!”
Read The Letter Below:
I have been a long time passionate fan of you – Mrs Tonto Dikeh Churchill or do I remove the surname? Your movies from your early days of breaking into the nollywood industry arrested attention anytime, as the toast of most industry movie directors for scripts. As one of your fans, it bleeds my heart to hear of the unpleasant stories coming from your home especially as you used your fans influence based to react at any latest provocation as if you are lead actress in a home movie.
My dearest Tonto Dikeh, we your fans are instrumental to your fame. Your marriage breakup is the prayers of some of your colleagues and those your actions have offended directly or indirectly. I expected that any challenge in your home should be kept private and away from social media. I want to believe that God blessed you with a loving husband who seem to give all you want but though, there is saying that he who wears the shoe knows where it pinches. Truly, your fans in Rivers state are proud of your height in the industry but we plead that you let sleeping dog lie.
The accusation and counter- accusations of smoking while breastfeeding, negative reactions of destroying properties and alleged infidelity from your husband – Olakunle Churchill can not be confirmed by the public. We draw our conclusion from the buzzes on social media. Beware of those you draw close as your friend especially in relation to your marriage except we will eventually write a movie script about your home, marriage and social media influence and sell to major directors like Chico Ejiro, Teco Benson, Tchidi Chikere etc with a caption ” Last Celebrity Marriage”
It’s sad to think that the supposed settled marriage crisis in your union still persist indirectly as feelers have it that you choose to subject your husband to emotional torture by taking the child – King Andrea away from him because of his affection for the little boy. My prayer is that you don’t take your beloved son to another controversial Maurijuana smoker’s home as attacked .My sister, which I choose to call you, please the drama upon drama in your home if true can be attributed to you going back to your old life of smoking. When you got married, we your fans were happy that you finally settled down inspite of our supposed believe of your reckless movie life but alas, it’s truly a reflection of your life in marriage even when we thought motherhood has changed you. Advising you to borrow a leaf from some notable scandal free celebrity actresses would not have been good considering your status, but am forced to tell you to screen into their marital life.
My beloved super actress, the tag ” controversial actress” which you got stuck with you since your early days of smoking in movies, close intimacy in acting and bad girl disposition do not make us believe is your true reflection but a conscious impressive interpretation of your roles. For the sake of your son – King Andrea and the love show from your husband as posted by you each time on social media, just put your home together- indeed, it’s your responsibility. We are happy the family crisis is been silient and we strongly believe there is peace at home now. Besides your peace at home, the gist of you breaking things in your mother -inlaw’s house and pushing her down in attempt to calm you down is not only disgusting but embarrassingly misleading if we truly have to believe that.
Well, I do not know much about your husband maybe because he is not a showbiz person but perhaps a philanthropist. But I think we might not judge him from social media stories. With time his true identity will be known, not only then we can write to him too…. value what you have which you made us believe he is your lovely Mr X, your irreplaceable Hero and your protective superman.
Mama King, he that has ear let him hear, for the voices of the fans are the voices of fame or destruction.
I rest my case

Media personality, Funmi Iyanda has shared her thoughts on Beyonce’s viral family photo on social media.
See what she wrote:
“There is no deity like the mother. Orishas are not long suffering doormats or self flattening emotional martyrs. They are deities. Full of power, subservient to no one, knowing that only in her own fullness can she bestow gifts of life, love, energy and power to others. Only the most deserving man gets to be with her as long as he recognises his role is to embellish her.
In doing this he finds fuel to be a man of true strength and beauty. She doesn’t need completeness, she’s whole. In ancient Yoruba land, the woman’s worth is closely tied to motherhood but this is however not some simplistic, self congratulatory child birthing which lesser animal are capable of without fan fare. It is the ability to give life, nurture, energy and love to others. An ability which is only acquired upon coming into one’s full self and thus not exclusive of women who do not have or desire biological children. It requires that the woman is able to pursue enterprise, knowledge and progress as well as ownership of resources in accordance to her gifts, desires and inclination. Full power is not to be confused with possession of money or indeed wealth, although those will come. Any woman of full power is a giver of emotional, spiritual, medicinal, biological life and is thus a mother and therefore an orisha. She is self replenishing with the support she is able to inspire from the constellation of humanity she stays connected to. She is not an isolated self sacrificed cloying emotional mouse trap for her children, biological or otherwise. Her world is large. It is a nuanced, complex and beautiful understanding of womanhood and motherhood, more civilised, kinder and truer to a progressive human condition.it is one l too wish l had understood or been taught earlier in life. #orisha #yoruba #grammys2017 #beyoncé#motherhood #yorubamythology #nigeria”

Following the report of the West African idol 2nd runner up, Eric Arubayi’s death after a brief illness, his brother, Derrick Arubayi, has revealed the cause of his death.
Derrick who spoke to a vanguard reporter, disclosed that the late singer took expired malaria drugs which led to his death.
He is quoted as saying:
“He had malaria and typhoid, which was untreated. It later became worse after he took a medication that had expired and this triggered his liver ailment and afterwards, every other thing just followed at a fast pace before his death.
“The only thing that we had to say is that he lived for Christ. We just want the world to know that the name Eric Odafe Arubayi was for a reason beyond the West Africa Idol show. For that reason, God would make manifest even beyond his glorious ascension.”

The Big Brother Naija host, has apologized for showing up for the reality show’s eviction night with a noticeable bulge around his groin which set Twitter ablaze!
Twitter Nigeria had taken notice of this even while the show was still on, the host became a trending topic because viewers couldn’t pay attention to anything else.
Ebuka said he and his “lil man” were sorry so they tweeted this apology and these reactions from Nigerians are just hilarious. Below:
Below is the list of the winners at the 2017 Grammy Awards, which was held on Sunday, 12th of February, 2017.
It all started moments ago when Dano milk publicized the famous “Naija Rich man garri” on their official Twitter account, not that nothing was wrong with that, but their text was what caused the whole wahala.
Dano milk wrote “Garium Sulphide“, instead of the usual garri and peak milk was not having any of the “forming“, so they came for them… See below and have yourself a good laugh:
If you watched the show few moments ago, you’d know for sure that the show’s host, Ebuka’s eggplants couldn’t go unnoticed while he was hosting – this of course, has caused the “Rubbin Minds” anchor to become a trending topic on Twitter this evening.
Some are quite happy with how “Blessed” he is, while some are just embarrassed for him. See below:
So over the weekend, multiple sources have claimed that wife of ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, Patience Jonathan, is likely to contest in 2019 Rivers East senatorial election.

The top notch comedian and actor shared what you see below on his Instagram page:
After going through all I could lay my hands on, I’m further convinced that the people who President Jonathan entrusted with authority in different sectors of the economy and government did him in.
And they did this smoothly & strategically. The crop of people I’m talking about, were those one who were more concerned with their goals to enrich themselves, so they were going about doing everything they could to amass wealth.
Then there was this other group who were building their political dreams will turning GEJ’s administration to a nightmare. They tactically made sure they alienated all those who had superior reason and better advice, away from him.
They strategically put him on a war path with those who he should have had as his backbone in the unpredictable storms of Nigerian politics. They knew that if he listened to those people they (the vultures) would starve.
Two examples.
After an event, ADC sent word to see GEJ. While waiting, at about 1:30am or later, 8 or more senators came to inform him of the plans by members of National Assembly to cross carpet with their Governors.
Some leaders of PDP, were there. They told GEJ to forget them. Good riddance! one of them said. The devil is in the detail. If governors who fund the party machinery cross carpet, it exposes your party.
When they take their reps and senators, it endangers your President. So, 3 weeks after that meeting, there was mass defections. That was when PDP rushed to court to stop them.
Another instance, this time it was a phone call, when I was in Abeokuta. Baba had just come back from a UN envoy trip. He told GEJ, to think very well & beyond the 16/19 elections of Gov’s Forum. That if 19 govs voted Amaechi, then you have enemies in your camp.
Baba said accept the result, deal with it later because the world was watching. For wia? The advisers, said call his bluff.
Now, it is clear, they were all fighting for themselves. Not GEJ. They all enriched themselves to the detriment of his administration. Bet he is shocked at some revelations.
I have known him since Deputy GOV days and I can say, he was betrayed by many of his foot soldiers. If I be GEJ, everyone go answer him papa name.
