Leader of Utako Community, Abuja, Alhaji Abdullahi Isha, has cried out to the police over the invasion of sex hawkers into his community. He lamented that the presence of the prostitutes had also attracted men of shady characters to the community.
Isah, who said this during the Federal Capital Territory Eminent Persons Forum organized by the police on Tuesday in Abuja, called on the FCT Commissioner of Police, Muhammad Mustafa, to come to the rescue of his community, Punch reports.
The chief expressed displeasure over the activities of the sex hawkers and pleaded with the police authorities to deploy personnel to the community to arrest the development and restore sanity to the area.
He said:
“I want to call the attention of the Commissioner of Police to the activities of prostitutes who have taken over my community. Their population in the community has increased in recent times and they are also attracting criminal elements. We want the police to come and address the situation before things get out of hand.”
A participant at the forum, who is a retired commissioner of police, Lawrence Alobi, called on the FCT residents to support the police financially, noting that the Force was not getting enough funding for its operations.
Did you know that beneath the harsh words and fierceness of the former minister of aviation, lies a hopeless romantic who seems not to be tamed but rather has his season ?? I bet you don’t!.
Guess it’s the season for that romantic side of the politician as he pens down this heartfelt poem for his wife Precious.
Read below:
“From the hills of Ohafia and the valleys of Abriba comes you that makes me smile. From the forests of Umahia and the lush green fields of Nanka comes you that brings me joy. From the eastern shores of our nation where stars shine brightly and from whence comes men whose spirits cannot be broken comes you that gives me hope.
From the lineage of those who dare to believe and from the stock of those who soar like eagles comes you that creates new beginnings. God brought you my way and has given me a new lease of life. What a gift you are- not just to me but also to humanity. Your star shall shine from generation to generation.
Your strength and confidence shall speak for you all the days of your life. Your talents shall open every door that you seek to enter. Your beauty: every radiant and everlasting- shall shake the very foundations of humanity and move even the hardest of hearts. You are Snowhite and you shall remain as white as snow from beginning to end. Your sun shall never set and God’s light, not darkness, shall follow you all the days of your life. You are not just the Queen of Pageants but the Queen of the Ages.
From generation to generation humanity shall testify of your kindness, your love and your good works. That is your destiny and that is your portion. Let not the storms of life ever cause you to give up or forget it. With you there is hope- you are Snowhite: the one that makes me smile and brings me joy.”

A 50kg bag of rice is now selling for N8,000 in Ebonyi state, eastern Nigeria – this contrasts markedly with the over N20,000 price tag for imported rice.
The cheering news was reported by spokesman of Central Bank of Nigeria, Isaac Okoroafor in Yenagoa, Bayelsa state on Tuesday.. Okoroafor is the Acting Director, Corporate Communication, CBN.
He spoke at a sensitization workshop for the CBN Anchor programme for farmers.
“We should eat Nigerian rice provided for by the CBN Anchor Programme; 50 Kg of local rice is now N8, 000 in Ebonyi. Already, the Abia Government has ordered rice from Ebonyi for Christmas,”.
He said that the Anchor Borrowers Programme for the promotion of Agriculture will make the country begin exportation of rice by 2017.
“We must rid ourselves of eating foreign rice that has been stored for over nine years in Thailand, Vietnam and India. Nigerian rice is fresh and healthier.
He further said: “What we have done with this programme so far is to create jobs through farming, especially for the unemployed youths.
“Nigerian youths must wake up, dust themselves up and join this worthy campaign.,” he added

Last I checked, Kemi Apologized to everybody she’s offended.. and she promised to be a good girl.. Now, why the sudden change of heart?
Kemi in a tweet on twitter, listed her top 3 Female Celebrities who she thinks should go for a breast reduction surgery to avoid breast cancer.
1. Cossy Ojiakor
2. Eniola Badmus
3. Bimbo Thomas
Then Cossy Orjiakor replies her:
“Just came across this. Some educated people are not really enlightened. Cancer is no respecter of boobs size and I believe that fungi is one of the culprits.
“So I, Cossy Ojiako and my big boobs friends and any volunteer doctor that can press or squeeze our breast to teach us how to self examine is welcome. Starting from October next year #breast #cancer #awareness, I am also passionate about human pap.
“Virus the one that causes skin tags and unsightly warts. Hopefully, I will be able to pay for vacination and also suggest herbal remedies that may come handy. I will also educate the public on benefits of having a normal ph alkaline body and encourage people to just cut garlic into 2 then swallow, no need chewing it.
“Even bitter leave water and the rest. God willing, October next year I will start touching peoples lives. I will also be giving free car make over to any cancer survivor or any one that fights this cause with me. Hahha pink cars is a sign of support and fight against cancer.#cossyojiakor #foundation #launching #October #2017.” Cossy said.
The controversial Cool FM broadcaster, has, following the recent report of the proposed hike in data tariffs, suggested that the Federal Government place 30% tax levy on churches or mosques that collect offerings, gifts, tithes and other revenues from their members, rather than the latter.
He says:
“Dear Federal Government, this regime cannot be all hardship. The suffering is too much!!! So far, It has been plagued by loss of jobs, hike in foodstuff, loss of value of the Naira against the Dollar, hike in petroleum products etc.
“Increasing the price of data will be seen by the masses as grossly insensitive, as this remains our greatest source of entertainment, information and education.
“Instead of this why don’t you place a 30% tax levy on any church or mosque that collects offering, gifts and tithe and you will be amazed at how much revenue you will realize.
Please have mercy on us.~FRZ

The Nigerian Communications Commission on Wednesday announced the immediate suspension of the new minimum pricing template for data services by mobile operators.
The new rate, which would have led to price increase in data for some Nigerians, was scheduled to take effect from December 1.
The NCC said the decision is to allow for further consultation.
The NCC’s decision comes a few hours after the Senate ordered a stop to the planned increase.
Details later.

This pretty and sexy female soldier is the rave of the moment online due to obvious reasons.
The jovial and gallant officer identified as Queen is what most corps members would want as their instructor at their orientation camps.
The hot soldier has already been mobbed by the new batch of corpers at the NYSC camp in Lagos -who were delighted to take pictures with her… See some of her pictures below;
The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has directed mobile telephone operators in the country to jerk up data tariffs with effect from December 1.
In a letter to the big operators, NCC said: “The Commission has carefully reviewed all submissions and hereby make the following Determinations: the interim price floor for Data Services is No.90k/MB for big operators. .
This rate will subsist pending the finalisation of the study on the Determination of Cost Based Pricing for Retail Broadband and Data Services in Nigeria; in order to promote a level playing field for all operators in the industry, encourage small operators and new entrant to acquire market share and operate profitably. .
Small operators and new entrants are hereby exempted from price floor for data services; for avoidance of doubt, a small operator is one that has less than 7.5% of market share and a new entrant is an operator that has operated less than three years in the market.”
NCC is of the opinion that without a price floor, the dominant operators can engage in predatory pricing to drive down other operators, meaning the industry could be moving towards a monopoly.
A senior NCC official told TheCable that CDMA operators – such as Multilinks and Starcomms – were muscled out of the by the Big Four because of their market power.
“At the rate they are crashing data tariffs, there is every chance that they will soon kill all the small operators and new entrants. Part of the functions and duties of NCC is to check monopolistic and oligopolistic behaviours in the telecom market,” the official said.
Globacom currently charges 21k/MB apparently because of the economies of scale advantage, compared to Smile which charges 84k/MB, in order to break even.
Under the new tariff regime, Smile can continue to charge 84k but Glo will have to move up to 90k/MB – a 328% increase.
Kemi Olunloyo who is known to bash bread seller turned model Olajumoke Orisaguna is having a change of her.
She took to Facebook to heap praises on her on her development since being discovered. She wrote;
So proud of Olajumoke Orisaguna @olajumoke__o who I predicted will be exploited by the vultures around her initially during her discovery. Her fans attacked me and as always I’m always correct. Here are the tweets before and after. Today she speaks FLUENT ENGLISH something I mentioned to them via social media to get her free English classes at the British Council. Kudos to @bethmodelafrica for empowering this young illiterate lady bread seller to a lovely model and icon of possibility and change. I saw exploitation around her early and spoke out. The video of her speaking in English at a presser was epic! God will continue to push your career up Jumoke #HNNImpact #hnnstyle
FROM @PULSENIGERIA247: Kemi who earlier predicted that the former bread seller turned model was being exploited and might go back to hawking took to Instagram today, May 16, 2016 writing, “Bread seller dumps modeling agency: Money hungry exploitation bastards. Olajumoke the bread seller model has dumped her modeling agency Few Models inc. Her lawyer told we media last week that all the deals they claimed to get her were FAKE and described them as “incompetent”. I predicted this in tweets 3 months ago.
A National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Batch B member has been reported dead at her orientation camp base in Kano state.
According to a post by a Facebook user identified as Emeka Stefano Ekwe, a young lady identified as Ifedolapo who was recently deployed to the NYSC orientation camp in Kano, has died.
According to his post, the lady had been sick and was refused treatment simply because they thought she had been pretending, in order to dodge the parade.
So this girl died in Kano camp today due to negligence. They assumed she was pretending to be sick in order to dodge parade, so they refused to treat her until the situation got complicated. When will Nigeria grow? RIP Ifedolapo.
Reports going round this morning claims that the Girl, Khadija who was snatched and kidnapped by a woman in Abuja is dead.
That report is false, as the father of the kidnapped girl has come out to debunk the reports spreading real fast like wild fire.
He took to his facebook to write:
Please my attention has been drawn to some post made in Facebook that my baby, Khadija was found dead. I want to say that the innocent girl found dead in gwagwalada is not my daughter. My prayers goes to her family, while we all pray for Khadija safe return. Thanks Allah bless u all.
So far, there have been 6 survivors, including 4 football players found from the ill-fated plane crash carrying Brazilian football players.
The goalkeeper reportedly later died. Photos below:
An 18-year-old student is reportedly battling with his sight at the Nakuru Level Five Hospital after he drank ethanol with his friends.
A report by Daily Nation News, states that the unidentified boy who is a student of Narok Secondary School in Kenya drank the ethanol on Friday, November 25, after writing his Chemistry exams.
It was also reported that the student who cannot speak nor eat may recover his sight after an eye specialist visited him at the hospital to place him on special treatment, as well as given the victim beer as an antidote to neutralize the ethanol he had taken.
His worried mother, Josephine Lankenua, bitterly complained after she learned of her son’s condition two days after the incident.
‘My son did not sit his biology paper on Monday, November 28 because he could neither see, speak nor eat. The paper was brought to him while at the hospital but he was unable to do it because of his condition.’
‘It was wrong for the school to hide information from me until when he was being transferred to Nakuru for treatment. The Ministry of Education should probe the matter as well as allow my son to sit the papers he’s missed.’
This past Sunday, 27th of November, a final year student of Agric Economics, University of Nigeria Nsukka, Tobechukwu Okeke committed suicide allegedly over a debt he owed.

The aircraft, which had departed from Santa Cruz, Bolivia, was transporting the Chapecoense team from southern Brazil for the first leg of a two-game Copa Sudamericana final against Atletico Nacional of Medellin, which was due to be played on Wednesday November 30th.
Just before takeoff, the players did a video where they were seen laughing and full of life. It looked like nothing was ever gonna go wrong… It’s just so sad.
Watch below:
Contrary to reports that made rounds yesterday alleging that the Acting rector of Federal Polytechnic, Ekowe, Bayelsa State slumped and died during a sex romp with an unidentified teenager at a hotel in Zekoh place, located at Onoharigbo street, Ughelli, the rector is still alive.
Mr. Seiyaboh Idah who is still very much alive, expressed serious concerns over the false report, describing it as embarrassing and an assault to his character.
He said the report was baseless, “careless, irresponsible, unprofessional and contrary to a minimum standard of journalism anywhere in the world”.
Idah said there was nothing true about the report, adding that it was totally against his “character, moral rectitude, ideals and qualities.”
He said:
“I was highly embarrassed by the report. The school, the students, my family including my parents, were all embarrassed and assaulted by the falsehood. “My friends all over the country and the world have been calling me over this incident to confirm whether l was still alive. You can see that l am alive and kicking.”
Heavy criticism followed the author, over the dress she donned to her book launch this past weekend… one can’t simply overlook that of controversial journalist who dubbed the outfit in an open letter as “slutty and inappropriate“.
But in a new development, some people have taken an in-depth look at the dress and have read meaning to it and it kind of makes much sense now (I think it does).
Let’s take a look at what these people have to say below:
So according to a new report, it seems the head of states, is at cross roads about his 21-year-old daughter, Zahra‘s wedding to billionaire, Indimi.
Reports of the wedding has been the talk of many tongues over the past few weeks since it was disclosed, with photos of her expensive wedding gifts from her soon-to-be husband.
But it looks like the president will not be having any of these eccentricities. A report by Daily Correspondents, gives us key details on the whole issue.
Read below:
“The wedding ceremony of Zahra, daughter of Nigeria’s president Buhari to son of billionaire businessman, Mohammed Indimi, scheduled for December 4, 2016, has been put on hold indefinitely, Daily Correspondents can authoritatively reveal.
The postponement, Daily Correspondents learned, was on the insistence of President Muhammadu Buhari, who, according to a source close to the two families, was uncomfortable with the attention his daughter’s wedding has received in the media, particularly with news of customised wedding boxes as gifts to Zahra costing a whopping N44m.
An introduction ceremony between both families had earlier held at the Aso Villa, Abuja on Friday, November 18, but the wedding programme itself scheduled between Wednesday 30th November and Sunday 4th December, 2016, is supposed to be on a low-key celebration as the President desires it to be a simple and an intimate ceremony to be attended by only close family and friends.
“But the whole media attention has changed everything now and the President is not happy,” our source said.
Aside that, it was also gathered that the President who has ordered that a security check be conducted on Ahmed and his source of stupendous wealth, is also not comfortable with the groom’s father, Alhaji Mohammed Indimi’s perceived closeness to ex-President Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida, IBB.
Former President Ibrahim Babangida is believed to be a long time godfather of billionaire Mohammed Indimi, more so the former President was against the emergence of Buhari in 2015.
Our source further said President Buhari who had such information at his disposal before consenting to the marriage may have been prevailed upon by his closest political allies to have a rethink on giving out his daughter to the Indimis.
It is however “very unlikely that President Buhari may give his go ahead for the wedding in the near future,” our source concluded.
Beautiful Nollywood actress, Queen Nwokoye has blamed the irrational effort to live up to people’s expectation as the core reason why Nollywood actors/actresses run out of money and start experiencing a form of retrogression.
Speaking with Broadway Africa TV, Queen says:
“I don’t think it is because they are being extravagant, how many people are to begin with? The truth of the matter is a lot of people are known faces but they are not actually making the type of money people think they make.
Then again, it is an individual thing, it is either you are here or you are there but the truth is a lot of people don’t make that kind of money they think we have.
Some people think we get paid 10 million for acting {laughs} so a lot of times, actors want to live up to false expectations from their fans and that is how they get into trouble.
As far as I am concerned, if you are paid in Nigeria and you want a Gucci bag and you convert your Naira to dollars to go and buy it because Kim Kardashian is carrying it, it doesn’t make sense because she earns dollars.
So for me it is not about being extravagant, everybody loves the good things of life but you have to draw a balance. It is about not truly making that huge amount that actors and actresses make.”
On trading her stardom for her privacy, she says:
“We enjoy the stardom and attention but sometimes you just want to walk past unnoticed and just be yourself but I wouldn’t give this up for anything in the world. I love it and appreciate it.”
Julia, a final year student of the department of Mathematics and Statistics, was murdered in her room in a private hostel off Polytechnic Road in Ogwashi-Uku, Delta State, on Tuesday, reports Saharareporters.
According to one of her co-students in the hostel, the lover had spent the previous night in the room of the deceased, and had stolen her ATM card.
“After her cultist lover had left the following day she received a debit alert of a N100,000. She received another debit alert of N45,000. Before leaving for the bank, she complained to us [about] the strange development. .
On her return from the bank where she went to complain, she told us the bank assured her that the culprit could only be known and arrested after going through their CCDC camera. She was told to go home and report back the next day, before meeting her untimely death,” the co-student said.
The source speculated that unknown to anyone in the hostel, the suspect sneaked into Julia’s room and murdered her with a battle axe, locked the corpse inside the room and ran away with her keys.
“Not until the next morning when everybody became apprehensive of her whereabouts and we had to break her door where we saw her lifeless body with blood stains everywhere in the room and the matter was reported to the Ogwashi-Uku Police Station,” the source narrated
A source at the Ogwashi-Uku station confirmed the story, adding that the police and the bank are currently working around the clock to arrest the suspect, who is on the run.
As people keep reading the already sold out book of the media personality, more shocking revelations keeps unveiling – this portion of the novel speaks on how Toke Makinwa and her estranged husband Maje set new rules while trying to work out their marriage.
The new rules were that she will have to be the connection in terms of communication between Maje and Anita when she needs anything for her son.
Read below:
“New rules were set in place: anything Anita needed, she had to
come through me. She was not to contact Maje, or he contact her.One time Anita called Maje to say she needed money for the baby.
But because of the new rules I was the one who got to communicate
with her. I kept asking Maje for her account details but he wouldn’t
give them to me so I called Anita.“What’s your account details,” I said, dispensing with any
pleasantries. “I have to send you some money.”“Keep your money,” she said.
“I am not doing it for you,” I said. “Left to me, this money would
buy shoes or designer bags. I don’t really care about your situation.
I’m doing it for my husband. You don’t want to deal with me but you
should have thought about the fact that you’re having a baby by a
married man. How did you think this was going to play out?”And she went, “Oh, right now you probably think you’re superior
to me.”“I actually don’t feel superior to you. I feel sorry for you because
you fell for the oldest trick in the book. At your age, you’re older than
I am, a man told you he was going to leave his wife. So he came to you
and told you he wasn’t happy and he was leaving me and you bought
it, hook, line, sinker. That’s on you, that’s not on me. You can’t be
mad at me for reaching out to pay my husband’s son’s monthly fees.
You didn’t do anything special; he already has a son. I now have Maje
by his balls, and if I wanted him to forget you for the next five years he
would forget you and only deal with you away from my eyes and the
eyes of the press.”“Hmm,” she said. “Typical Maje, telling you what you want to
hear. My child was not a mistake, my child was planned.”“No, he wasn’t planned—”
“He was.”
And then I remembered the press release and said, “Woman to
woman, what sort of woman writes a press release with a guy to leave
his wife.”“Correction, he wrote it. All I did was vet it.”
“Okay. So you vetted a press release written by a man with which
he was going to publicly humiliate his wife and send that to the press.
What happened to quietly separating from his wife? If you really want
this man so bad then he must get a divorce and it doesn’t have to be
public. Why would you address it to Pulse TV?”That conversation was one of the points where I realised that if I
stayed married to Maje, this was what my life would be about—forget
what I’d said to Anita about having Maje by the balls. As if it wasn’t
bad enough that he had committed adultery, there was a constant
reminder in the form of Anita and her son who would never go away.
It was a battle, and I was exhausted from wounds that were yet to
heal.”
Omotola Jalade Ekeinde is one of the longest-married Nigerian celebrities at the moment. So when she has something to say on relationships, it has to be valid, right?
At the Africa International Film Festival which recently ended in Lagos, the actress and mother of four shares the opinion that sharing faith with one’s significant other and being disciplined are both key to making any celeb’s marriage work.
She says “If you’re a Christian and you marry someone who is not born again then you are on your own.
“Your partner needs to be stronger than you. They are the ones getting the aftermath of your own action.
“Choose a partner who understands entertainment. Don’t choose your fan. Personally, I don’t believe in love at first sight.
“Pick someone who sees your heart, your soul, someone who sees the real you and not afraid to tell you about your flaws.
“Discipline is key. Everyone wants freedom but too much freedom is bad. Be disciplined. It’s better to be an enemy to a work partner than to your family. Learn to say No!
“We are like nurses and doctors in the industry because we can be called upon at anytime”.
She also advised against giving in to advances to get movie roles.
“Sometimes you will get a role for giving yourself out but you won’t be able to retain it.
“If you become famous it will later haunt you. But don’t run away from your sexuality, don’t shy away from who you are, enjoy who you are, come on there but come out with substance.
Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde is a marriage veteran of some sort, having been married to Capt. Matthew Ekeinde in 1996
