Lol… the girl went from a 0 to a 100 real quick, from “baby” to “Yahoo Yahoo boy!” – so the self explanatory conversation thread shows how a female student alleged to be from Nigerian private university, Babcock, asked a guy she’d just met for quarter a million naira for her school project.
According to her, she wants the money quickly, so that she can maintain her first class… The guy who is being asked for money from, is not buying any of the conning lies! Lol
The Presidency on Monday have faulted the ongoing comparison between President Muhammadu Buhari and Acting President Yemi Osinbajo.
Since Osinbajo became Acting President on the 19th of last month and the subsequent improvement of the naira against the dollar, and the new peace in the Niger Delta region among other achievements, many reports have claimed that the VP was doing better as Acting President than Buhari.
But speaking with State House correspondents, the Special Adviser to the President on Political Matters, Femi Ojudu, said that it is one government and that what Nigerians are seeing now are results of the policies introduced by the government.
He said:
“I think it is thoughtless. I also see it as a ploy by the opposition to cause an unnecessary division. It is joint ticket, the president and the vice president were elected based on the manifesto of the party and since they were sworn-in they have been committed to implementing that manifesto.
“The same people who said we never had economic team, no policy, nothing are the ones saying this. It is now that the policies we are implementing are maturing and they are seeing the result. It is not a question of one person being better than the other person.
“I will give you an example; there is nothing that has been done since the vice president started acting that is not something that started far back in the past. A good example is the Niger Delta initiative. The President called the Vice President and said I am giving you the mandate, go into the Niger Delta meet with everyone who is a stakeholder, all the communities, talk to the militants and make sure you solve this problem for the benefits of Nigerians.
“We are losing 1.2 million barrels of oil per day; all the gas pipelines powering the turbines are being blown up. And the President has said unless and until we resolve this problem we will not get out of recession. The Vice President took up the mandate and went to the Niger Delta, it is the initiative of Mr. President not that of Vice President.
“This is mischief makers, those who do not wish this country well, who are always promoting crisis, who will not allow the people to benefit from this democracy, are the ones promoting this kind of divisive tendencies.” he added
Stressing that the Acting President has been consulting the President in London, he said:
“Almost on a daily basis, yes. Well, there are things he still needs to consult the President, I mean it’s not a regular thing but major decisions he still has to consult Mr. President. The president is still the president.”
He insisted that Buhari is still in charge even on medical vacation.
“He is in charge but li
ke I said earlier on, this is a joint ticket the president of Nigeria remains the president of Nigeria. He is acting because it is one government and the same. He is more experienced, he has been in the game longer than the vice president and if there are major issues that he needs to take decision on, he could call on him and say Sir, what do you think about this we are about to take decision on it, do you have opinion? That does not mean he is not in charge.” he said
He went on:
“Again, one other thing you have to see is that if you give someone a responsibility, he must be able to show to Mr. President that despite that he is not around, it is not going to create any vacuum. He can then decide not to sleep at all, all through the time the president is away just to show him that he is capable of ensuring that Nigeria goes on well while he is away.
“And the President could also have given the mandate let nothing go wrong; I believe in you, I appointed you as my Vice President you must make sure that you do this. If you have a boss who gives you an assignment you will want to impress him and Nigerians as well and that for me is what has happened. It is not that one person is better than the other, certainly not.”
According to him, those reports were aimed at causing division in the Presidency. He stressed that the Presidency will not allow those behind the reports to succeed.
“I’m telling you that I have seen some things sent out intentionally to cause some kind of division within the presidency. Some people who have been condemning everybody in the past, I see them on twitter and on Facebook and generally on social media. Some people are trying to promote division and we are not going to allow that.
“This president and vice president worked together in tandem and I know they both have confidence in this nation,” he said.
He also called on the media to be vigilant and watch what it picks as news from the social media. Reacting to some clerics in Katsina State claiming that the president was poisoned, he said:
“The way I will react to that is that those of you in the media should be careful what you pick from the social media now, it is becoming factory for fake news in the Nigeria.
“A lot of things you see on social media can never be true. I saw that, I read it and I assessed it using the prison of these factors, those indicies we use to analysis stories in the media and found out that, that it cannot be true. For example they said somebody kept N77 trillion somewhere, imagine that. What is the total value of Nigeria’s economy that because of somebody keeping N77 trillion therefore some people want to poison him so that they can inherit the money.
“I mean we have a president that nobody in this country can question his integrity. As a young officer, a middle officer, a senior officer and as a head of state till now, nobody has been able to tarnish his image or come up with anything.
“For me it is not even worth responding to, as soon as I read it I dismissed it, it is so ridiculous. Again it is the handiwork of our enemies, the problem is fakeness has almost become global and universal, other countries are experiencing it. Those who want to distabilise the country they come up with all kinds of stupid stories, some kind of unimaginable stories so we should just discountenance those things,” he stated.

Nigerian music mogul, Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, on Monday, February the 27th, presented a cheque of N3.5million to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Lagos.
Speaking at the presentation, the mogul said that he was particularly touched when he visited camps of the Internally Displaced Persons(IDPs) in the North-East.
He called on other well-meaning Nigerians to come all out and support the International organisation in its effort at protecting the millions of Nigerians in the various camps.
“The conditions I met the internally displaced persons, when I visited their various camps were terrible. They were really terrible,” he said.
“The 2Face Foundation has, therefore, decided to enter into partnership with the UNHCR to see how we can help put smiles on the faces of these persons. My foundation is today presenting this cheque to the UNHCR to support it in its operations of alleviating the sufferings of these IDPs,” he added.
In her remark, the UNHCR’s Acting Country Representative to Nigeria, Ms Brigitte Mukango-Eno, commended 2Face for the humanitarian gesture, adding that her Agency currently needed public support for its operations in the North East.
Mukango-Eno, who was represented UNHCR’s External and Donor Relations Officer, Mr Hanson Tamfu, said that the activities of Boko Haram in the North- East had overstretched the agency’s financial base.
“We sincerely want to express the gratitude of the UNHCR to 2Face. This is a right step toward our private sector following. Over these years, it has become important for us, as an organisation, to depend on the private sector, for us to be able to meet our responsibilities.
2Face has scored a very important goal by discovering the UNHCR Office within the UN system. We want to use this opportunity to appeal to other private Nigerians and philanthropists to emulate this gesture by the 2Face Foundation in alleviating the conditions of the IDPs in the North East,” she said.
So, as humans, we all have one phobia(fear) or the other, some of us have the phobia of heights, some water, some insects, some reptiles and others… but did you know that there are way more phobias that are not as common as ones you know and you did not know you had them?!
Lol… I didn’t there was something like the “fear of being single forever” (which I think I have), not until I came across a post on Facebook from the “Never Stop Learning Page“.
Check out some phobias below and see whether or not you have one of them… Hehe… BTW, if they sound ridiculous to you, google them and be thrilled!
Lol… peep “pentheraphobia: fear of your mother-in-law“… Most Nigerian wives have this!
A footballer became a hero of a match in the Czech Republic after he saved the life of his opposition team’s goalkeeper following a horrific collision.
Goalkeeper, Martin Berkovec, 28, came out to collect a ball during yesterday’s match between Bohemians 1905 and Slovacko but smashed into his own defender, Daniel Krch.
Berkovec, who was on loan from Slavia Prague, collapsed but eagle-eyed Slovacko striker Francis Koné noticed that he had gone limp. Without waiting for the team doctor or physio, Kone put his finger into Berkovec’s mouth to prevent him swallowing his own tongue.
Berkovec was stretchered off and taken to hospital, where he is expected to make a full recovery.
Writing on Facebook after regaining consciousness last night, Berkovec said: ‘I would like to thank Francis Kone for rescue and emergency at today’s game…I’m glad for the relief and thanks again!!!’
According to Daily Mirror, Slovacko’s head coach Michal Kordula praised Koné during the post-match press conference. But it turns out that it is not the first time Koné, 26, has been a life-saver.
He says it is the FOURTH time in his short career he has pulled a tongue from a players’ mouth to save them from suffocating.
Koné is something of a footballing globetrotter, having played in Thailand, Oman, Portugal, Hungary, Togo and Ivory Coast.
So this artiste and filmmaker, OfficialKuddi, on Twitter, shared how an exclusive interview was requested of him from a company who had turned him down in the days of his humble beginnings.
In 2014, after Kuddi had asked that they kindly post his content on their website, they ruthlessly declined as they called him a “low upcoming peep” who “shouldn’t waste his parent’s money” and “should leave filmmaking”
Well, he’s done quite well with himself now and the same people are asking him to grant an interview which they are even willing to pay for… he let karma take its toll as he too, gladly declined their offer.
Karma really is a b*tch though and the best revenge is SUCCESS! No doubt!
Ex Big Brother Naija housemate, Gifty and her alleged boo, Nigerian singer, Mr 2kay were both spotted together at the Lagos Polo club yesterday.

President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Nnia Nwodo, has said that the Igbo people are in grave danger in the country. Nwodo also called for prayers for the Igbo people to change the situation and challenges faced by them.
Nwodo was quoted to have spoken, during the weekend, at a church service in his honour by the Knights of St. John at St. Mulumba Catholic Church in New Haven, Enugu.
Nwodo said it was important that other ethnic groups understand the peculiarity of challenges faced by the Igbo.
He said:
“I dedicate myself completely to all the supplication as offered in the Mass. I ask Ndigbo wherever they are to pray collectively for all of us.”
We are in dire straight, we are in very grave situation. I also ask that we pray for other Nigerians to understand our peculiar circumstances, understand our case and give us once more a hand of fellowship in a united Nigeria,” Nwodo said.
Also speaking at the event, President of the Commandery services of the New Haven Gilbert Obu said Nwodo is a member of Commandery. He said the Commandary have decided to honour him for this reason.
“We thank God for Ohanaeze for our checkered history,” Obu said.
“We know that this is a man whom God has groomed like David in the Bible. We know that he will take Igbo to higher heights. What he needs is prayers and support every Igboman can give him.
“We expect so much from him in Nigeria contest, as you can see Igbo have not gotten anything now. All the commanders of armed forces, the police, there is no Igboman.
So, we want to make an impact for Nigerians to know that Igbo are here to stay because we are part of Nigeria. We should be given the right position,” he said.

Nollywood actress, Praise Sam Ogan is a damsel who is quite open about her convictions. She is an embodiment of intelligence, beauty and sex appeal.
She is not one who hides her opinions, she says it as it is. In a new interview, the quite busty actress talks about her passion for acting, most challenging movie role, sex before marriage, among other issues.
Read below:
Have you always wanted to be an actress?
Yes I have always wanted to be an actress. I mean from childhood. I am just an outspoken person so growing up, I was always called to lead kids in church. We act, sing and present. This happened in my childhood. So my love for the camera and the audience came from there.
When did you finally decide that acting was going to be your career?
Some years back I took that decision. I started acting three years back and stopped. I started again in January 2016 with a movie titled Wife for rent.
Have you ever found it difficult to come out of a character you played?
I have never found it difficult to come out of a character.
What will you regard as your most challenging role so far?
A role I acted as an Interior decorator is my challenging role so far. In the movie titled My Prophecy, my makeup was heavy in order to portray the role I played. It was challenging for me because I hate makeup so much. So I wasn’t myself at all .I acted directly with two actors, Yul Edochie and Ken Erics as an upcoming actress
What was it like acting with Yul and Ken?
They made it easy for me. I enjoyed every bit.
Why do you hate makeup?
I don’t know oh, I just don’t like it.
How has your journalism background helped you in your acting career?
Being bold works hand in hand with these two. So facing the camera comes with so much.Journalism has made acting easy for me.
What part of your body gets you the most attention?
My smile and my deep dimples gets me the most attention.
What is that one thing people hardly know about you?
The fact that I sing than I can do any other thing is one thing people hardly know about me. In addition, my marital status is very rare to know.
What is your opinion about pre-marital sex?
I am not holy or perfect but let us face the truth, as a Christian premarital sex is known as fornication, which the holy bible is against. It is wrong. Whatever good you do, you do it for yourself. You do bad? You do it for yourself. It’s a personal race. God would still have mercy on whom he would have mercy.
How far can you go when it comes to playing a romantic role?
I won’t go nude not just because of what people will say, but because I have a family who are more important to me than the world at large. I can only caress. I am even scared of kissing these days because of hepatitis B and so on which kills faster than HIV. A lot of people don’t even know. I am on point with my 3 course vaccine.
Is it possible to do without premarital sex in this generation?
It’s a personal race like I said, I can’t speak for anyone. Celibacy is normal. There are people who are seen as spoilt and wild, but they are celibate.
Can you have sex with your love interest or husband in a movie?
Nobody will do that. I have not seen or heard of that. Even real hubby and wife won’t go having sex in front of a director, DOP, PAs and so on. It’s not possible. You people believe and imagine too much. All we do is just make believe. That’s why it’s a movie. Nothing goes down biko! I have not seen that before. That is why we are good at what we do .If we our acting isn’t genuine, viewers will complain. Now we are trying to make you believe it’s real. Happy imagination to you guys.
Do you intentionally flaunt your boobs on social media?
Very funny, it’s showing by itself. That’s why God kept it at that position. Even if I tie wrapper, it would pop out.
Who are the individuals who inspire you in the movie industry?
Mercy Johnson and Joseph Benjamin inspire me. The passion they put into whatsoever they do inspires me, in the movie world and outside the movie world. The fact that they are down to earth is everything to me.
Have you ever been heartbroken?
Yes, you need to be heartbroken at some point so as to appreciate love when it finally comes your way.
How did you come out of that phase?
I am not the first.There is always a way out. Everybody has his way, I can’t share my way.
Who is Praise behind the cameras?
I can’t even say who I am. I have multiple personalities. But people say am a very bold and outspoken girl. I know am a shy girl. This life is just complicated. If you meet me personally you will find out.
When you are at home, what’s your favorite outfit to wear?
I don’t wear cloths at home to be sincere.
What new projects are you working on?
I call this year, big 2017. I am very sorry to say, all plans and projects are top secrets.
What’s your definition of a sexy woman?
My definition of a sexy woman is a God fearing, clean, confident and cheerful woman.
How has the ongoing recession affected Nollywood?
Recession is now a normal thing .It’s affecting everyone even individuals not just Nollywood. I don’t know much because I am not a movie marketer or a movie producer. I am sure they feel the heat more .I am sure the recession would be dealing with the movie marketers.
How has it affected you?
On a personal level, the recession is not affecting me in any way. No difference. I am still balling in grace.
