This Twitter user, Deriano Agada, has claimed that his brother who works at a London hospital, supposedly the one where the president is being administered, said the President is in a coma, as he had an unsuccessful surgery.
He says doctors have advised PMB to resign from his work and attend to his health – this further proves that the president is not dead.
Dancer cum singer, Peter Okoye, yesterday made an Instagram post telling his followers to stop blaming and throwing swipes at celebrities and instead, face the government.
Little did he know that his followers would turn deaf hears or rather, blind to the wordings of his post as they slammed him – this caused him to then disable comments on the post.
The media personality cum author is certainly not backing down on her ‘On Becoming’ book sales/African international tour, despite her estranged husband, Maje Ayida’s threat to sue.
After her book reading and signing in Ghana, which went hitch-free with Ghanaian celebrities – Jackie Appiah, Ama Abebrese, Victoria Lebene, Ahuofe Patri, Vanessa Gyan – in attendance, Toke Makinwa now has Kenya as her next stop in the African International Tour.
At the book reading/signing in Ghana, Toke gave insights on her book like never before, and said it was important people share certain experiences in their lives as a means of encouraging the public.
Act of gratitude is not only beneficial to someone receiving the praise, but even more so, to the one who shows gratitude.
On this score, the president and founder of Omega Fire Ministry worldwide, Apostle Johnson Suleman, has sent his warm appreciation to Nigerians, Africans and the world in general for their exceptional show of love during his recent encounter with the Department of the State Security (DSS).
Suleman, who is regarded as one of Africa’s most popular pastors at the moment in his thank you message during the kick-off of this year’s edition of the annual ‘The Ebenezer’ programme to mark the ministry’s 13th anniversary, said:
“I’m grateful to all. I never knew I was so loved. For the first time ever, fellow Nigerians behaved like Americans. Nigerians naturally have business-like mentality but I was shocked that on this particular issue, 90 percent of Nigerians spoke with one voice, saying enough is enough.
We were not fighting any government, we just declared our stand that we are not cowards and we cannot be cowed by fear. I was so shocked at the level of strength and courage that I had throughout the period.
And the courage I surmounted was aided by the love and exceptional concern shown me from all over the world. From over 70 nations, I received a lot of phone calls and text messages from people showing their love and compassion. I got messages of love from different people that I have never even met. I got up to 18,000 different text messages. I read and read. The solidarity was overwhelming. I was moved to tears,’ states the man of God.
Furthering, Apostle Suleman said,
“One thing that first moved me was when I got to Abuja to see the DSS, the crowd I saw almost made me to go into hiding. The crowd was so massive that they were ready to take bullets on my behalf. It moved me.
The love shown was not just about me but for what they believe in and it gave me so much courage and made me to realize that I was not alone. I’m not taking it for granted, that’s why I’m saying thank you to all. I have to confess that I’m yet to recover from that show of affection. I therefore want to enjoin Nigerians that in whatever situation that we find ourselves, they should keep hearing our voice and I want them to know that one day, things would be fine.
Meanwhile, the firebrand cleric will be visiting the White House, the American seat of power, in March. According to a reliable source from the church, Apostle Suleman’s planned visit was on the invitation of the Mayor of Washington.
We gathered that during the august visit, the man of God will have a prayer session with both the Mayor and the president of the United States, Mr. Donald Trump.
The invitation, the source notes, was in recognition of Suleman’s selfless service and commitment to humanity and delivering souls.
The Ebenezer programme of OFM started on Wednesday 8th of February, 2017, with people from 32 countries of the world arriving Auchi, the headquarters of OFM worldwide. This year’s programme themed ‘From Glory To Glory’ will end on Sunday 12th.
For 13 years, the mission that has now spread into six continents of the world, with the resilience of Apostle Suleman, has brought salvation to millions, healing and deliverance to a lot more, restoration and settlement to very many more.
Also, the church is warming up for the birthday celebration of the matriarch of the ministry, Reverend Dr. (Mrs.) Lizzy Suleman on Sunday, February 26th 2017, although the birth date is February 28th.
The source adds that ‘an unusual gift’ awaits the OFM queen from her caring husband, Apostle Suleman.

A quite steamy pair gave commuters an eyeful as they got hot and heavy on a busy train, Kent Live reported. The lovers reportedly gave one of the commuters, Lee Dalgleish an indignant look when he asked if the man would move his feet so he could sit down on the 8.45am service from Chatham to London Victoria .
While the lady’s long coat preserved a little of the couple’s dignity, it was suggested underneath they may well have been participating in a saucy “share a seat scheme“.
Lee said even though he can appreciate people wanting to be affectionate with their partners, grinding on an 8.45am train is going “a bit too far.”
The 32-year-old said:
“Lovely view on my way to work this morning. I have no issue with PDA (public displays of affection) as a rule but grinding your boyfriend to the point of penetration is going a bit far.
They got off at Chatham…and they disembarked from the train.”
A Nigerian family has given an outcry after their daughter, Mrs. Oluwashola Gaska (nee Adefolalu) mysteriously died and was cremated by her Polish husband, Mr. Jakub Gaska, without their consent.
According to the deceased’s elder sister at a press conference in Lagos on Wednesday, Mrs. Abimbola Essien-Nelson, Oluwashola was murdered and her corpse hastily cremated to cover it despite the family’s objection.
The family has petitioned the Federal Government to unravel the mystery surrounding her death and cremation.
In the petition, dated January 29, 2017, and titled, ‘Petition against Mr. Jakub Gaska for the murder, unlawful cremation and burial of Oluwashola Atunrayo Gaska (nee Adefolalu) in Krakow, Poland, on December 28, 2016,’ the family detailed how the late Oluwashola, who studied in Poland, settled in the country and later married Gaska in 2010.
The petition read in part:
“The last verbal conversation I had with the deceased took place on December 24, 2016, and she made no complaint about her health. At about 11.28am, on Wednesday, December 28, 2016, I received a telephone call from the husband that ‘there had been an accident, Shola had fallen unconscious and had died.’
“The husband did not tell me the nature of the so called accident. I was still conversing with the husband when the telephone was disconnected.
“The husband later called me back on the same day, stating that Oluwashola fell ill on Tuesday, and that he and his sister took her to the a hospital (the name of the hospital was not provided). He said she passed away at about 3am on Wednesday, December 28, 2016.”
The petition added that plans were being made to travel to Krakow to give the deceased a befitting burial when her husband informed them that her remains would be cremated as he and Olwashola agreed during a discussion.
It was gathered that the family requested that the husband wait until the arrival of family members in January 2017 to partake in the funeral rites.
“We also made it clear to him that because of the sudden nature of her death, we want to see her corpse. We sent several sets of representatives from the Nigerian community to him in this regard, but he refused to allow anyone access to the corpse. His response was that Oluwashola said only Abmibola and no other person, should see her corpse,” the petition read.
Gaska reportedly cremated Oluwashola’s remains on January 2, 2017. He also allegedly interred the ashes on January 7, 2017, without officially informing the Adefolalus.
Essien Nelson recalled that the husband’s final words on the heated issue regarding the cremation was that :”The cremation will proceed as planned and there is nothing anyone can do about it”
On how the couple met, Essien said:
In 2000, Shola travelled to Poland to study Architecture,after graduating and working for some years the deceased informed the family that she had met and intended to marry Jakub Gaska and settle down in Poland”
“As an African family, the expectation of the family was that the potential husband would formally visit Nigeria to comply with Yoruba native laws and customs in respect to the traditional marriage rights but this did not happen”
“Reluctantly and for the happiness of the deceased, the family sent a representative to Poland for the church wedding and I was the representative of the family with the wedding taking place on the 15th of August,2010”
“The matrimonial home was at Ui.Owiecimska 33,32-551,Wygielzow,GMINA Babice District,Chrzanow County ,Lesser Poland, a suburb of Krakow where the deceased lived a communal life style as had to share the home with her mother –in- law”
“In her life time, the deceased taught English language as a foreign language. Shola also owned a photography business and made reasonable income with which she maintained the matrimonial home “
“The husband was in and out of employment between 2010 and 2016 as his highest educational qualifications was high school certificate, though his last employer was the IKEA Store in Krakow,Poland”
“I constantly received reports that the deceased had constant frictions in the marriage due to the over bearing influence and meddling stance of her mother-in-law and as a matter of fact my sister had informed me of their plans to relocate to a separate house for the privacy of herself and her husband as there was no privacy whatsoever in the matrimonial home.”
The Senate President, Speaker, House of Representatives, President, Republic of Poland, among others, were also copied in the petition.

A fashion designer, Omotolani Alele, on Wednesday told an Idi-Ogungun Customary Court, Agodi, Ibadan that her husband beat her each time she refused to worship his family idol.
Omotolani, who lives at Ojoo area of Ibadan, had approached the court for dissolution of her five-year-old marriage on grounds of brutality and threat to her life by her husband, Anthony.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that hearing in the case began on February 1 and was adjourned till February 8 for the defendant to produce their marriage certificate.
The plaintiff had refuted the claim of her husband that they were legally married. However, at the resumed hearing of the case today, the husband failed to produce the marriage certificate.
In her testimony before the court, Omotolani had said that the union, blessed with a three-year-old child, had been a regrettable one due to daily ill treatment from Anthony.
“My husband asked me to join him to worship his family idol several times but l refused, and this made him to beat me always.
“His parents did not want him to marry me but we came together since he claimed to love me but he changed.
“He even took the only child of the union from me and cannot really say where he kept my child.
“I pray the court to grant my request for divorce; I am not ready to worship any idol and l don’t want to die young due to his constant beating,’’ Omotolani pleaded.
The defendant did not object to the petition. The Court President, Mukaila Balogun, consequently upheld the request of the petitioner and dissolved the union.
He held that the evidence before the court proved that both parties were not ready for amicable resolution of their conflict.
He gave the custody of the child to the plaintiff and directed the defendant to pay N4,000 monthly for the upkeep of the child.

A swift-thinking bus driver trapped a thief in his doors and drove him to the police station with his legs dangling from the vehicle, Daily Mail reports.
The crook had stolen from a passenger on the bus and pictures of the swiftly administered justice shows the criminal painfully trapped in the bus’ pneumatic doors with his jeans-clad legs poking out.
Colombian passers-by in Villa Hermosa, a neighbourhood in the capital of Bogota, misread the situation and tried to pull the doors open but the driver jolted forward to stop them, allowing passengers on board to tell them he was being held on purpose.
Painfully swallowed up by the doors, the unnamed thief is unable to free himself as traffic clears and the bus continues on its journey.
The hero driver diverted from his planned route and took the thief straight to the nearest police station.
District police commandant Diego Vasquez said: ‘The driver supported authorities’ work and immediately closed the door so that this man was not able to finish the robbery, and was trapped in the bus instead.’
But the thief’s victim, a woman from whom he had stolen a mobile phone, did not press charges and so police had to release him.

“When you marry a man that completes you , nothing is too much for him
When I started hairbywanneka in 2013, as a new bride and pregnant wife , my husband wanted me to put to bed first before I do anything
But the hustler in me will not let me rest ? so I started by business by just displaying pictures on BBM, I didn’t even know about instagram
After small money came out of the hair , I begged my hubby to plz get me a store in Festac and invest small money in it , I even promised to pay back , he immediately agreed and we got one , he put it in place and gave me some money to buy hairs , after my 1 year in that shop , I didn’t leave with money or goods
Before we left Festac , knowing I have failed him the first time, I started begging him again to pls get me a store in Lekki ? without shame , I even said “ok borrow me the money ? as begging , he aggreed again and paid for my first shop in Lekki, put some goods in it for me , again everything went down the drain , after 1 year I left the store with nothing to show for it ,
Now for the 3rd time , I was begging for a new shop , this time , hubby didn’t even buy the idea , trust woman and Wahala, I fought him ?kept malice and almost said am not marrying u again ? to avoid Wahala , I was in sch one day and he called and said “madam we have gotten you the shop” ??? I danced back home ? I told him the reason y I failed in the first Lekki store is because people in Lekki like fine shops with good interior ?? he then put this one up in a Lekki way for me , even with that nothing ?6 months into the new store , I saw another disaster , i felt for the man who had been investing and not getting anything back , at that point , I knew I had to do something
Then I put in my all into my small business and now see how far we have come . While my business was on standstill , I will demand for all the latest phones ? I’ll ask for a change of car ? without shame ?
This same man will buy it , I’ll even ask for a driver again ?Willy this Range Rover EVogue is for you my darling,today I can proudly say to you that ur money wasnt wasted.this is from my small business to u ? I love u baby#mostsupportivehubby#mollinswellspnt”
The beautiful MAVIN’s first lady looks as joyous as can be as she shared these photos from Los Angeles – the beauty kept it casual as she donned a sheer shirt and jeans with green heels to mock the touch on her shirt.

So we came across these photos of a Nigerian father and his 3 children who are all pilots – Ademola, Adeoye and Sinmi Ajibola are the three children, who have taken after their father’s profession, and it’s melting our hearts.
Ghanaian actor Chris Attoh‘s wife, actress Damilola Adegbite, said a man she sat by in her church asked for her number after church, saying he wanted to discuss a project with her.
The project they discussed is quite interesting if you read it below:
Lol… Could the policeman really be roasting the plantain or he was helping his wife who was not around, or was waiting to collect his change from the seller who went looking for it? ??
We can’t tell though… the photo was taken somewhere in Oniru, Lagos yesterday and people are saying is’s the recession that caused it.. Hehe… ???
Pastor Tunde Bakare, the serving overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly, has revealed that President Muhammadu Buhari chose him as his running mate in 2011, because he wanted a vice-president who can hold the nation together if he dies in power.
Both men contested the election under the platform of the then Congress for Progressives Change (CPC), but lost to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Addressing his congregants in Ogba, Lagos, last month, Bakare said Buhari rejected former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s choice of Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, former minister of finance.
He said all what transpired during that period had been documented in the book: ‘Strategic Intervention in Governance’, a book he authored.
“After I was called and I went to Abuja, and I sat with Mr President or General Buhari then, I said why me? ‘I’m not a politician’, ‘I do not belong to any political party’, ‘I am not carrying card of any party, why me’?
He gave me all the reasons, they are written in the book; Strategic Intervention in Governance. He gave three reasons, but the one that made everyone around me that day to dove their hats was when he said: I am not as young as you think, and even Yar’Adua that is younger is dead.
In case I die, I know you can hold the nation together. That was when Jim (he didn’t give his surrname) removed his cap and said egbon, you must agree.”
Bakare said on another day, he sat with Buhari and said,
“Sir, I need to understand something before I do anything. Every running mate of yours, including the one that was even your deputy in the military, is dead.
“Ume-Ezeoke is dead, Okadigbo is dead, Idiagbon is dead, I am not about to die?”
Bakare said Buhari told him;
“Pastor, you must be very funny, I have never even thought about it.”
I knew he had nothing to do with their deaths, but that man carries a dimension of grace that if you deal with him, and betray him, you pay with your life,” Bakare said.
So I said to him, hear me now, ‘I will never betray you, I leave it to you to betray me if you wish to do so’… I’m not kidding you, you don’t know what transpired, for you, it was just campaign.
Loyalty is a two-way traffic, if you cannot do that with God, forget, you cannot do it with men, you’d betray the cause, somewhere along the line, when things get tough, when they are not as easy as you expect them to be.
God builds your confidence if you heed to his agreement.”
I said five reasons why you must embrace this: ‘1. Ngozi Iweala is Delta Igbo; you have solved the problem of south-south and south-east. 2. She’s a Christian, faith balance. 3. She is a woman, gender balance. 4. She is a former minister of finance and external affairs, it is called experience, and currently, her position in the World Bank gives her global exposure, any of this five, I don’t have’.
He looked at me, and said did Obasanjo meet with you or Nasir? I said honourable minister (el-Rufai), you speak, and he repeated all the things I’ve said. And he (Buhari) asked him, what do you think he (Obasanjo) is up to? He said ‘you know our boss, there is something up his sleeve’.
Then he turned to me, and said Pastor Bakare I told you I have prayed my own prayer the way I know how to, and I chose you, if you don’t want, give me the form, I would look for somebody else.
It was then Nasir said, egbon, sign it. In that room ,I signed it, and Nasir seconded it. I left the place and it was as if a burden lifted.”
Bakare said he heard the voice of God to go ahead, which strengthened him in the days ahead.
