Lai Mohammed has once again defended the President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari.
The Minister of Information and culture has said that the fact that President Buhari or any Minister don’t go to their respective offices, does not mean they are not working.
He said this in reaction to backlash from Nigerians after President Buhari failed to attend the Federal Executive Council Meetig on Wednesday April 26th.
Mohammed yesterday told state house correspondents that President Buhari decided to work from his home that day hence his absence from the FEC meeting.
Garba Shehu who is one of the presidential spokesperson, yesterday released a statement saying that doctors have asked President Buhari to slow down with work due to the fact that he is just recovering from an ailment.
Lai who spoke with Channels TV in Ilorin yesterday said President Buhari’s absence from the FEC meeting does not mean he is sick.
“I think the President has been quite transparent. The President has told you that he was ill a few month ago, he has come back and he is taking his time. It is not correct for you to say that you don’t see him at public functions. That’s not correct. The fact that a President or a minister does not come to office, does not mean he is not working. I’m here today for instance, those who have come to my office would not see me. Mr President receives ambassadors, he does all he ought’s to do but the fact that he didn’t come for the Federal Executive Council meeting does not mean he is ill and anyway, there is no compulsion for him to preside over every FEC meeting” he said.
A former close friend of Stephanie Otobo, Miss Yvonne Ogiamien has revealed the character behind Miss Stephanie Otobo, the canadian-based singer who has been dragging and blackmailing Apostle Johnson Suleiman, President of Omega Fire Ministries Worldwide to filth with claims of romance and infidelity.
In a telephone chat with Journalists, Yvonne spoke about some intimate secrets of Stephanie, her life in Sapele before she relocated to Canada.
Meanwhile, in a new video that has gone viral on the social media, four ladies claiming to be close friends of Stephanie Otobo, claimed that Otobo’s allegations are all lies and that she was known for her fake and indecent lifestyle..
Excerpts as reported by NAIJ.com
How long have you known Stephanie?
We were childhood friends but I travelled to Canada after I got married about 10 years ago but she came in here few years back.
How close are you two?
We were close enough that sometimes she stays over with my family here in Toronto.
You were? Are you no longer friends?
Certainly not! Not after all this mess.
Mess? Ok, we will get back to that. But do you know a little or few things about her private life?
Sure! We shared information up till when she was to travel to Nigeria in January, though I had my reservations about her lifestyle.
Did she at any time mention her relationship with Apostle Johnson Suleman?
Yeaaa! That was about 2015. She told me and a few other friends how she got the number of the preacher from one of the church members here in Toronto. How she called the man for prayers and also pleaded for financial help. She told us how generous the man was and how the man assisted her without ever meeting her.
Was that all, she told you?
That was all. She told me each time the man of God sent some money to her about two or three occasions with a stern warning that she should quit her way of life.
What do you have to say about the allegations by Stephanie that she was in a relationship with Apostle Johnson Suleiman?
Of course not! That ain’t possible! We were always watching the man and his preaching’s on YouTube uptill early this year. Can a girl be in a relationship with someone she hasn’t met? Maybe, she was obsessed with the man of God. I have known Stephanie since her days in Sapele. What I know for certain is that she is not new to controversies. At some point, I felt she was possessed because she was good at scamming and twisting stories with so much finesse. Stephanie would do anything for money.
Are you saying the allegations might be false?
If it were someone else, I would have said there can’t be smoke without fire. But in Stephanie’s world, there can be smoke without fire. This is why I can say on good authority that it is a fat lie because of her antecedent. I know her so so well. For example, Stephanie started courting controversies from as early as the age of 15. She came in here as a student, through a phony admission syndicate in America from where she migrated to Canada. That is Stephanie for you. She would go to any length to make ends meet, including blackmail and extortion.
Are you by chance inferring that the allegations on Apostle Johnson Suleman are false?
As much as I know, If Stephanie was ever in a relationship, I and our other friends would know. She will flaunt it. Not this type she now claimed she made good money from. £8,000, €10,000 etc? Stephanie made all that money and she is still squatting in Canada? How is that possible? We were all bemused to hear and read in the press that she lost her house and cars owing to Apostle Suleman’s failed promise to marry her. This is absolute falsehood and wickedness as Stephanie never had a house. The only time she had an apartment for a few months was when she lied to a lawyer last year that she was pregnant and the man hired a condo for her in Toronto. But when he found out that she was not pregnant, he ejected her. Is that the same house Apostle made her lose?
Can you describe Stephanie Otobo?
Stephanie is a smart girl. And a coarse one as such. She knows how to play her cards. And it is unfortunate that she took the game to a dangerous level by involving Apostle Johnson Suleman. I want to suspect she was looking for something from the man of God and it didn’t work out. Maybe she was obsessed about the man of God, who knows? If not, how would a woman be talking about having an amorous relationship with someone she hasn’t met? Only last year, Stephanie was sleeping with a man called Ola who was said to be genuinely in love with her until she messed him up. She allegedly took his money, promised to marry him but dumped him after breaking the relationship. In return, I gathered that the said Mr. Ola made a video of Stephanie, including clips of her stealing his money. The video was handed to the pastor of their church during testimony time prompting her to flee and stop attending the church. Before leaving town, she temporarily teamed with another lover and together they reportedly engaged in several scams, including Internet fraud. But the bubble burst when her partner was caught and jailed for fraud. Having acquired a negative reputation in Toronto, Stephanie moved to Vancouver where she topped her game by joining so many dating sites. It was also in that city she became a stripper.
But why do you think she is doing all these?
What I can say for certain is that Stephanie does not do anything except for the money. I know for sure that, that is what played out in this case. She probably saw an opportunity and wanted to grab it or was lured into it by some folks in Nigeria who didn’t like the Apostle’s face but it backfired, unfortunately. I am so ashamed on her behalf.
She just released a gospel song entitled “I depend on God”. Don’t you think she may have given her life to God?
Hahahahaha…what the world expected her to release was a confession video or a video of an open apology to the man of God and the body of Christ as a sign of repentance. The prayer of an unrepentant sinner is an abomination before God.
A Nigerian Facebook User, Sheyi Sheyor who studies at the Osun State University, Osogbo has taken to his Facebook page to brag about raping a girl.
He revealed the victim in question thought he was a nice person, not until they were together alone in a room, and he raped her. He wrote: “She thought am nice. Not until I raped her. Odun odun o lanrinrin” (Odun Odun means, it was sweet).
His posts has been met with mixed reactions..
A comment reads: Social media has unleashed and exposed a lot of deranged homo sapiens…FYI Rape is a CRIMINAL OFFENCE which you have just admitted to Folake Oyetosho….I am too aghast and upset to engage this moron… Were you to be in saner climes you will be in your way to languishing in prison
Another comment read: You are such a mad and stupid boy for writing this. You think you can come on Facebook and spew rubbish? Irresponsible idiot
Another comment reads: The bad thing is the idiot might take it down but people screenshot it please. Enough screenshots will make him think twice before posting nonsense next time.
Another comment: What nonsense is this? Are you in your correct senses? You are boasting about raping a girl? And you think it’s one big joke.
A woman simply identified as Felicia died immediately she got to Uyo From Lagos.
Apparently, it was revealed that her husband took her to Lagos park alive to board a vehicle going to Uyo.. and then made arrangements with a pastor to pick her up for prayers… But on getting to Uyo park she gave up the ghost.. and the pastor she was meant to meet with ran away.
Felicia was very sick..
Read the story as shared by AB Isong:
DEAD ON ARRIVAL:
Somehow i wanted to overlook this story, but it boils down to marrying a wrong man hence this post.
Earlier today (thursday 6.pm precisely), I went to Itam Park long distance bus terminus where i was expecting a parcel from Lagos.
On arrival I saw an unusual crowd and I decided to get close. Only to find this woman dead and laid beside the young shall grow bus which transported her to Uyo.
I was privileged to ask a co-passenger who boarded same vehicle with her from Lagos to Uyo.
She said the woman’s husband brought her to the park alive to board the vehicle. And that He knew the woman wasn’t very strong while embarking on the long journey. And had made arrangement with a pastor here in Uyo to pick her and commence prayers.
The woman arrived Uyo alive, stepped out of the vehicle, asked for her luggage to be given to her which the driver obliged. Seeing she was weak, they offered her a chair to sit while waiting for pick-up.. the next thing she fell off the chair and that was the end of her life here on earth.
Minutes later, The Pastor came but was told from a distance that the lady he just spoke with on phone is dead. The man took off and disappeared.
Everyone deserted her but the good Samaritan in me came alive and I decided not to leave her there just like others did. I had to put a call across to the Nigerian Police and they responded swiftly. they came to the scene but my joy was complete when a woman came around and identified the lady as Felicia.. she wept and said Edoh Eke Wod meaning (they married her to kill her)… she has been taken to the mortuary by the Nigerian Police.
But my trouble is, Why will a man allow his wife travel such a long distance alone knowing too well she was sick?
Did he ever love that woman?
Did he know the woman won’t survive and decided to send her back to her state for death?
Why didn’t he take her to the hospital for treatment?
Oh Lord! help us… My wife is still weeping.
I’m happy i did my best.
Woman I don’t know you, But may God bless your soul.
Rest In Peace.
Don’t just write R.I.P, the reason i wrote this is for us to learn from it.
Never stay with a man who has no regards for you. if you die he will marry another. Marriage is not by force. You can still make heaven without marriage ooh! Marriage is not a yardstick to measure success.
I speak in anger! if staying single will keep you alive, please stay single and live than to marry and die.
So, our very own Tony Tida TMG is trending.. for a comment he made on one of Our Post on Facebook… and it wouldn’t really be cool if we also don’t carry the news. So, this might be coming late..
The Post we made on Facebook, reads: “World War III: North Korea Threatens to Wipe Out United States”
…and in his witty way, Tony made a comment, begging the North Korean leader, to place the “target” on his uncle who sold their only Family land and ran away with the money. In his words:
I don’t have a problem with the wiping out of the state but please i want the bomb to be directed straight to New Orleans Louisiana so that it will hit Philip my uncle direct in the head…..he thinks he can sell our only family land and run away with the money
His comment has since been trending on social media.
A couple from the Netherlands, Donald and Gertruda Boots, who adopted two kids from Ekiti State about 12 years ago, yesterday brought them back home to familiarise with their biological family and roots.
The two brothers Joshua Oluwasola, 17, and Victor Ayoola, 14, were members of a family of eight, who were adopted by the couple in 2005 during the first tenure of Governor Ayodele Fayose.
They were all hosted by the state governor’s wife, Mrs Feyisetan Fayose, who at the reconciliation at her office in Ado-Ekiti, expressed her joy saying:
“I am happy to see the two children in good health and in high spirit. My interest in their
welfare informed my decision to visit them in Amsterdam in 2006, during my husband’s first term in office.”
Mrs Fayose regretted her husband’s inability to personally receive the couple and the two boys due to an official engagement outside the state. She, however, thanked the couple for taking good care of the boys like their biological children.
Speaking earlier, Donald said they decided to bring the boys back home to familiarise themselves with members of their immediate families. He said their education will not be complete if they were unable to trace their roots.
The eldest boy, Joshua, expressed joy, thanking the state government and everyone that took part in the adoption process, saying their fortune has improved tremendously.
So, Let’s feed you with this drama that happened between TBoss and a BossNation Die-Hard Fan.
Gifty, yesterday revealed she finally got to hang out with her girl, Uriel. She wrote on Instagram:
“If am to choose a true heart, I will go for uriel… she’s just adorable #noFORMING.. at last we are had the “Girls chit chat” … you guys won’t believe what we’ve talked about”
Then, a TBoss Fan came on her page to spill her hate on Uriel, the fan mocked Uriel for crying over a welcome home party, and finally getting one. The fan who’s obviously a lady wrote:
“What’s her welcome home party for. she wasn’t in the top 5. You guys are trying too hard to compete with the Boss. I’m getting annoyed. Let me unfollow this fake girl”.
Of course, Gifty had a reply for the hate comment and said:
“Advise darling.. quit being an errand girl, it sucks.. I hope your boss pays you with love and not with pride.. hehe”

DMW Artiste, Mayorkun has said he broke up with his girlfriend two months before he was signed at his Davido-led record label.
This is coming after there were rumors that his latest song, SADE was inspired by a girlfriend who bears the name, Sade.
He says the single was the work of fiction. Mayorkun who rapidly hit stardom after signing for Davido‘s record label DMW, revealed that he wrote the song purely to entertain his fans and not to serenade any girlfriend named Sade.
According to Mayorkun, he broke up with his girlfriend two months before he was signed to DMW, due to his busy schedule while he worked as a banker.
“I’m not even sure I personally know anyone called Sade” he said saying he wouldn’t mind finding a Sade very soon.
The Nollywood actor as always, took to his IG page to share his despicable ordeals. This time he says popular Nollywood actresses are fond of sucking his nipples when he’s on a movie location set, so he took to his page to warn them. He wrote:
Please stop sucking my nipples… I don’t know why every time am on a movie location especially in Enugu, popular actresses are fond of sucking my nipples illegally without even taking permission from the owner of the nipples.?
If this ugly trend continues, I might have to start calling out the names of all the popular actresses that have been disturbing my sexy nipples anytime am asleep…? Enough is enough.
Reality TV star, Scott Disick has revealed that he purchased a ring and proposed to the mother of his three kids, Kourtney Kardashian.
The pair split back in the summer of 2015 and ever since it’s been rumoured Scott has been trying to win her back.
Speaking on an upcoming episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, MirrorUK reports Scott tells Kim and Khloe that he thought the pair would get back together following a ski trip to Aspen, which they went on at the start of the year, with their kids.
“Kourtney and I have been spending a lot more time together, so I decided to take her and the kids to Aspen,” he says.
“It feels like the old days. I feel like what Kourtney always wanted from me was for me to be sober and healthy and just be there to take care of my family. I’ve been really present and haven’t been drinking.
“A year or so ago I feel like there was a point where we didn’t even speak or see each other, so this feels good.”
The pair shared a series of snaps together on their trip and Scott tells Kim and Khloe that after getting back he thinks “everything is going in the right direction”.
Kim then asks Scott if Kourtney was aware that he had bought her a ring “to propose”.
Scott says she does, but Kim points out to Khloe it’s a different ring to the one they found in the pair’s old house – it was actually a newer Lorraine Schwartz rock.
Kim tells Khloe: “This was a really nice, cool Lorraine Schwartz ring and then he returned it.”
But before he returned it, Scott admits he did propose, but Kim and Khloe weren’t aware he actually went through with it.
He tells them:
“I don’t think we told anybody actually. It was somewhat cute and then we just got scared about like media and this and that and we were like, ‘Let’s just put the ring aside and we’ll talk about it another day.’ Never spoke about it again.”
Adorable twin sister and brother, Kehinde and Taiwo Adeyemi were 8 years of age when this childhood photo of them above was taken.
Two decades later, the twins decided to recreate it and Kehinde, now married with a child, shared it on social media with the caption:
“8yrs old vrs 29 Same set of sofa we couldn’t fit into the previous one loool. All hail African carpenters mehn 20yrs and the sofas are still intact!!! #tbt @taiwoadeyemi”
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Thursday 27th April, 2017, arraigned one Onuoha Danhessy Akachukwu (alias Joe Dickson) before Justice J.K. Omotosho of the Federal High Court, sitting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State on a 6-count charge bordering on Conspiracy and Obtaining Money by False Pretense to the tune of Five Thousand Two Hundred and Sixty American U S Dollars ($5,260).
Onuoha Danhessy Akachukwu (alias Joe Dickson) is alleged to have used false Facebook accounts to defraud one Maria Jose Alvarez, an American of the sum of Five Thousand, Two Hundred and Sixty American U S Dollars ($5,260).
The defendant who claimed to be an American Engineer based in the United Kingdom hoodwinked his victims by establishing a romantic relationship which according to him, will lead to marriage.
The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge when it was read to him.
In view of his pleas, the prosecution counsel, R.E. Alao asked the court to fix a date for trial.
With the defense counsel absence in court, Justice Omotosho adjourned the matter to the 18th day of May, 2017 for hearing and ordered that the defendant be remanded in prison custody.

DMW Boss, Davido has replied the lady who says she’d commit suicide if she doesn’t get to meet him before the 13th of August 2017, which is her Birthday.
Recall, the lady, identified as Chiamaka Okeke shared videos of herself shedding tears, noting that she’s ready to take her life if she doesn’t meet the singer.
Now she has gotten the attention she so desire from Davido.
The singer followed her on Instagram, and also sent her a DM saying: “I dun follow u o, No go die”.
The Oba says he is being misunderstood as the “alleged snub” is a cultural way of greeting a monarch in Lagos.
The position of Oba Akiolu was stated by one of the white cap chiefs of Lagos, Lateef Aderibigbe Ajose, who is the Opeluwa Onido of Lagos.
Ajose said the Lagos monarch did not ignore Ooni of Ife at the public function as being misconceived by people. He said Oba Akiolu’s response to Oba Ogunwusi was the culturally acclaimed way of greeting by a monarch in Lagos.
He added that the Lagos King is basically trying to revive the culture and tradition of ancient Lagos, which is peculiar to the State.
Other tribes also have their peculiar ways of greeting, he said.
Ajose stated: “The sign by Oba Akiolu signifies ‘inu mi, inu e’, the culture of greeting in Lagos.
“If Oba Akiolu wanted to ignore, he would have turned his face away from Ooni.
“There is no misunderstanding between both highly revered monarchs in Yorubaland.”
According to Ajose, the relationship between both Yoruba kings is peaceful and mutual.
He said: “Oba Akiolu was well represented at the coronation of Ooni of Ife, which attested to the fact that he does not disregard the office of Ooni Adeyeye.”
Chief Ajose said Oba Akiolu had waited till this time to react to the issue because he had to meet with other chiefs in the palace to rub minds before addressing the public on the matter. He said:
“There is no sentiment in the culture of Lagos.
“As we met it, that is the way we are doing it.
“Kabiyesi Oba Akiolu is trying to bring back the old pattern, the old culture we have left behind. “What happened that day was wrongly speculated by the social media to disrupt peace and order and misinterpret Oba Akiolu’s action.
“We just want to appeal to the social media to stop spreading wrong information.
“They should try and understand the reason behind every action carried out, most especially by traditional rulers.
“Yoruba has a very rich culture.
“There is no quarrel between the Oba of Lagos and Ooni of Ife.”
A Nigerian named Chinedu Eze has allegedly been gunned down by a Somalian in the Western Cape Province of South Africa.
In a telephone chat Wednesday, the Chairman of the Nigerian Union in the province, Mr Mike Ibitoye, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that Eze, 35, was shot dead on April 25 during an argument over a cell phone.
“Chinedu Eze is a native of Umuchu, Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra State. He deals in cell phones.
“Reports at our disposal said that on the fateful day, there was an argument between him and Somali man inside a car.
“The Somalian reportedly shot him three times, and when he ran out of the car, he shot him six times again, leading to his death,” he said.
Ibitoye added that the incident happened at the Bellview area of Cape Town, a place populated by Somalians.
“The incident has been reported to the South African Police.
“The Police has commenced investigation, but we are not aware if the assailant has been arrested.”
Calling on Nigerians to remain calm, the Secretary of the Union, Mr Adetola Olubajo, said they had informed the Nigerian mission in South Africa.
“We appeal to Nigerians in the Western Cape Province to remain peaceful and law abiding.
“The Mission is on top of the situation.
“The union equally appeals to the Federal Government to ensure that the welfare of Nigerians in South Africa are protected.” he said.
Over the past year, there have been documented cases of xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa, leading to a diplomatic row between the two countries.
A Die-hard Female Fan of Davido has sentenced herself to death if she doesn’t get to meet the DMW Boss Before 13th of August which is her birthday.
Identified as Chiamaka Okeke.. She shared a video of herself crying on Instagram and tagged the DMW Boss.
She insisted that her death is worth it, if at the end of the day she doesn’t get to meet Davido.
She shared videos of herself crying on Instagram in two parts, with Davido’s smashing hit single – “IF” playing in the background.
She captioned it:
DAVIDO 13TH OF AUGUST IS MY BIRTHDAY, IF I DONT GET TO MEET YOU ON OR BEFORE THEN… I WILL COMMIT SUICIDE!!! ??
YES I WILL JUST KILL MY SELF IT’S WORTH IT ?
@davidoofficial
@davidoofficial
@dmw_hq @davidonation
We really can’t ascertain her mental state as at the time of this report. Perhaps she’s just doing it for the attention.. or the Lagos lagoon has dialed her number?
Will this be enough to get the attention of Davido? Or perhaps, He’d just pass?
So, I personally begged Efe to drop a Single.. and bone all these touring around he’s been touring..He probably listened to me and has dropped a new single. 😛
The 2017 Big Brother Naija Winner, Efe has just released his new single, titled “Based on Logistics”… and this is coming after the rapper toured lots of states in Nigeria.
As Efe prepares to go home for a homecoming concert in Jos city, where he grew up. He decides to wet our appetite with this new jam!
The track is titled “Based on Logistics”… The Track is produced by his cohort, Duktor sett.
They claim, Toyo was kicked off the series after she reportedly asked for a raise.
Sources close to TNS said that Funke takes credit for bringing the actress to spotlight, and so was pissed when the actress asked for an increment in her salary.
Akindele, through her production manager and younger sister Abimbola, reportedly pays actors between 3,000 and N150,000 per episode/season, and this arrangement hasn’t worked out well for these actors, because one of them, anonymously, confirmed to TNS that she was unfairly treated after an all-night shoot.
Here’s the message she sent to TNS:
“I got a text message from Sceneone Productions that I had been selected to act on Jenifa’s Diary and I will be part of a party scene. I was so excited that I told my entire family about it. Mind you, it wasn’t my 1st time acting but d feeling of being on Jenifa’s diary was a big deal for me. I was asked to come with 5 different party costumes. Location was Amen Estate, Eleko. After filming with over 30 girls the whole night, Funke came to address us and advice that money shouldn’t be our priorities at this stage; that was when it occurred to me that something awkward was about to happen….just then, the Production Manager, Mr Osmond whispered something to Funke’s sister, Abimbola & she started paying us each 3K. Can u imagine?, 3K for all night shoot!…on Jenifa’s Diary!… I was so mad, some of us had to turn down the money shaa….couldn’t face my mom to explain to her wat happened the next morning.”
Also, the actors who earn ‘better pay’ in the series reportedly are Lota Chukwu, Omotunde Lolo 1, Falz D Bahd Guy and Olayode who were raking in an average of N150,000 per season each. The other stars earn far less.
Falz is also said to have left the show.
Meanwhile, celebrities who made cameo appearances on the show – like Tiwa Savage and Toke Makinwa – were given N300,00 for just the episode.
Neither Funke Akindele nor Juliana Olayode had refuted this report as at press time. And it is worthy to note that the two stars have unfollowed each other on their social media accounts.
There’s no iota of chill on Twitter Nigeria… After the viral video which showed the Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu snubbing the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi.. they’ve both continued to dominate the trending topics of discussion on Social Media.
This time around, Nigerians have found a funny angle to the story. A Twitter user decided to create a funny thread of kings who are greater than, Oba Rilwan Akiolu of Lagos, below is what he came up with as others joined in:
1. Oba Saheed Ademola Elegushi (Kusenla III)
Oba Saheed Ademola Elegushi (Kusenla III) is the youngest Oba in Lagos state, he is from the family of late (Oba) Yekini Adeniyi Elegushi, of the Elegushi Royal Family of Ikateland, Lagos state.
King” Sunny Adé is a Nigerian musician, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and a pioneer of modern world music. He is commonly called the King of Juju music.
He has been classed as one of the most influential musicians of all time. He was recently appointed as the “Change Begins With Me” campaign ambassador by the Nigerian minister of Information Lai Mohammed.
Fondly called K1 De Ultimate, he was born Olasunkanmi Wasiu Ayinde Marshal on March 3, 1957. One of Nigeria’s foremost Fuji musicians. He is known for introducing the genre to the sounds of keyboards, saxophones and guitars.
This is especially funny because King Kong is not even human. It is a 2005 epic monster adventure film co-written, produced, and directed by Peter Jackson. Another version was released in early 2017.
Just like King Kong, Lion King is not even a human king. The Lion King is a 1994 American animated epic musical film, produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and released by Walt Disney Pictures.
11 out of the 14 Former Big Brother Naija Housemates reunited after they all visited the DSTV Office in Lagos Today, 27th April.
Pictured above with them is the Managing Director of Multichoice Nigeria, John Ugbe, and the 11 housemates; Cocoice, Jon, Bisola, Ese, TBoss, Miyonse, Efe, Uriel, Marvis, Bassey and Soma.
2baba Idibia, in a chat with Soundcity 98.5 FM Radio Station has opened up on why he chose to marry his wife, Annie over his other baby mamas, Sumbo Adeoye and Pero Adeniyi.
The Pop-star said:
“Every reason. I was just deceiving myself that .. you know as man dey do sometimes. He go see wetin actually dey down but he go feel say make I see whether.. You know all that kind nonsense behaviour. But at one point in time, I was like look I’m not going to let this girl go. I just started realizing that this is who I want to be with.
This is actually who I want to spend the rest of my life with. This is the person that actually does it for me. So there is no need to deceive myself anymore. I come beg, them come gree.”
On how Annie and the love they share reflects on who he is
“It (love) made me a more mature and better person. It made me understand that you know that there is so many things you have to work out together with people that you care about, It’s not all bed of roses all the time, it’s not all smooth.
There are sometimes that you disagree to agree and all that kind of stuff, But you just have to mature enough to work through these things. These things will come, challenges will come. You just have to put heads together and work through them.”
The Ooni of Ife Palace has reacted to the viral snub that happened between the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu and Ooni of Ife.
Recall a video went viral few days ago which showed the Lagos monarch refusing to shake hands with the Ooni, who arrived the venue of the event while guests were already seated.
The Ooni, on entering the hall, went straight to greet traditional rulers, but Oba Akiolu shunned him and with a wave of the hand, gestured his rejection of the Ooni’s greetings.
The Ooni however, took the incident with calm and took his seat on the same roll where the traditional ruler was seated.
Speaking with PREMIUM TIMES on the development, the Head of Palace Directorate of Tourism, Awoyemi Tunde, said the Ooni of Ife was not losing sleep over the issue.
“It is not a slap on the Ooni of Ife but rather a slap on the Oba of Lagos,” he said. “The stool of Oba of Lagos was founded by Olofin Ogunfunminire and the Ooni of Ife is the Oba of Yoruba land.
“The Oba of Lagos has to come to terms with the fact that Ooni is the royal father of Yoruba land, it is necessary that all persons come together to unite Yoruba land but really the issue at the event is very condemnable”.
Mr. Tunde also said that the Oba of Lagos risked the wrath of the ‘Alale'(Ancestors), as a result of his disrespect for the superior monarch.
“God gave Ooni of Ife Oba Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, the mandate to unite the Yoruba land and nothing will stop him from doing that,” he added.
According to Mr. Tunde, reactions from different Yoruba communities would continue to pour in to denounce the action of the Lagos monarch.
“If we don’t receive an apology especially with the image of Ile-Ife, we will call on the ancestors on the issue,” he said.
Lai Mohammed has accused Social Media of “Frustrating His Job”… He accused the social media of aggravating the challenges of government’s media representatives.
In a speech delivered to mark the annual conference and general meeting of the National Institute of Public Relations in Ilorin, Kwara State, Mr. Mohammed also denied allegations of diverting $1.2 billion.
According to a statement sent by the minister’s special adviser on media and publicity, Segun Adeyemi, Mr. Mohammed denied media publications alleging that he amassed $1.2 billion through an unnamed account. He however did not state what media organisation, or under what caption the alleged story was published.
“There is no better occasion than this to examine the increasingly tough, and almost impossible, job of a public relations practitioner. Tougher still is the task of the Government Perception Manager, whether he or she is the Minister of Information, Commissioner for Information, Spokespersons for the President or Governor or for any government agency.
“The challenges faced daily by the perception managers have been exacerbated by the Social Media. Today, the challenges have defied everything the practitioner may have been taught about perception management, public relations and all. Today, anyone with a phone and data is a journalist, a blogger, owner of an online publication, an opinion moulder, etc. And they do all this simply because they can. No regulations, no sanctions. The spokesperson is at their mercy. Regrettably, they have a fanatic followership in the largely uninformed masses, whose experience over the years has primed them not to trust government and public office holders.
“The masses are daily served incredible menu and unbelievable tales which they swallow hook, line and sinker. How else can you explain that people will believe and circulate a fake report that the Minister of Information and Culture; that is yours truly, has 1.2 billion dollars in his imaginary bank account? Let’s examine this for a moment. 1.2 billion dollars is about 400 billion Naira. The entire yearly budget of the Ministry of Information and Culture, where I preside, is under 15 billion Naira, and these include salaries, overhead and capital projects. Assuming, without conceding, that the Minister somehow manages to transfer the entire budget into his personal account, it will take 25 years for him to amass 400 billion Naira. Yet, this disinformation was lapped up by the public”.
Mr. Mohammed who had in previous publications described the social media as a nightmare alleged that the stated problem is caused mainly by the activities of the opposition whom he defined as a set of uncontrollable people.
“The perception manager today is engaged in an unending war with an opposition that is amorphously defined, an opposition who never sleeps, an opposition that has no rules of engagement, an opposition that has power without responsibility or control, one whose objective is not to inform, educate or provide constructive criticism but to set their own agenda from their own ethnic, religious, ideological and economic perspective, irrespective of what the challenges of government are”.
Mr. Mohammed urged media representatives in government parastatals to rise up the challenge by adhering to the principles of accountability in information dissemination.
“The government information managers must not allow themselves to be discouraged by this. Today’s government information manager, whether he is Minister or Commissioner in charge of Information, must equip himself with qualities such as integrity, courage, abnormal capacity for hard work, ingenuity, resourcefulness, ability to think out of the box, encyclopaedic knowledge of all things under the stars, incorruptibility and, above all, passion about the job,” said Mr. Mohammed
The information Minister has at various fora expressed displeasure about the impact of what he described as fake information emanating from the media, stressing that such stories pose more threat to Nigeria than insurgency.
