So this Nigerian lady feels that if you’re married to a working class lady, she can never make a good wife… because she probably might make more dough than you and all… Who says?!
I think she makes a point but it all depends on the lady herself though, it’s not easy to joggle a handful of jobs, being a wife to your hussy, a mother to your kids, and worker at your workplace…
Truth be told, a lot of women know how to joggle the jobs of being a wife but it all depends on how well they can handle it… it’s tedious but it’s possible.
Facebook user, Clement Ntukogu, who shared the photo didn’t state what church it happened but it has caused an uproar on social media as people believe this should never happen.
Clement wrote:
PASTORS ARE NOW GODS!
At the entrance of a pastor, the whole congregation are expected to lie on the floor. And in other churches, they are expected to stand on their feet. This is NOT the Christianity that Christ and His apostles had taught in the Bible but it’s Christianity invented by man.
“And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and
worshipped him. But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man” Acts 10:25-26.
“And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God” – Revelation 22:8-9.
Today, Christians have loss their sense of reasonings and have become so stupid to practice nonsense in order to please their pastors. What a shame!

The Federal government has ordered the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) to investigate the circumstances surrounding the reported shooting of the ongoing Big Brother Nigeria reality show in South Africa.
In a statement on Tuesday, January 24, 2016, the Minister of information and culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed ordered the NBC to determine whether Multi-Choice had breached Nigerian Broadcasting Code in any way by having the show in South Africa.
The NBC is also to investigate the issue of “possible deceit” since the viewing public was never told that the event would be staged outside Nigeria.
“As a country of laws, only the outcome of the investigation will determine our next line of action,” Mohammed said in a statement on Tuesday.
Okay… so if a guy is calling another guy a scum, then the dude really must be a scum, that’s if the other dude is not an hypocrite though, you get me?! ???
A Nigerian lady has according to her cousin, been hospitalised after her boyfriend of 4 YEARS who she gave N800,000 so he can travel out, eventually travelled out, and then, blocked her on all social media platforms.
Her cousin who shared the story on Twitter revealed that the guy is an orphan who came to Lagos to hustle – he met with the lady and their relationship ignited only for him to stab her with a quite sharp edge when she least expected it.
Just a short while after new U.S president Donald Trump assumed office, everything on the Whitehouse’ official website was moved and archived on a new Obama website and was replaced with a Trump site.
The updated WhiteHouse.gov website neglected to include certain social issues that seem to matter to some America citizens, issues like LGBT rights, Civil rights and climate change.
A search for LGBT on the WhiteHouse.gov website came up with a blank.
Trump made it clear during his campaign that he was opposed to same-sex marriage and his Vice, Mike Pence, shares the same view has never hidden the fact that he is anti-gay.
While photos of her husband and his alleged mistress are flying around social media, the beautiful actress and mother of one is seen in a new video dancing to Sia’s The Greatest.
She’s glowing as she wears a bright smile and red wig! Watch video below:
2013 Big Brother Africa housemate, Huddah Monroe and Wizkid were rumoured to have had an affair for a while in 2014 after this photo of him kissing her cheek went viral.
In a new post she made yesterday, stating that Wizkid is the best African artiste, she revealed something quite interesting… See below:
Minister of Mines and Steel Development, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has the nation’s youths to ‘quit whining’, that no body owe them anything.
Fayemi made this known in a lecture titled ‘The Successor-Generation: Reflections on Values and Knowledge in Nation Building’ at the 2017 UNILAG Convocation Lecture in Lagos, on Monday.
Fayemi who went on memory line told the graduating students of his Alma Mater that as a UNILAG graduate and a post-graduate student in the United Kingdom for him to survive, he drove taxis and worked as a security guard, amongst several other menial jobs.
“He said ‘the last lesson I want to talk about is the debilitating entitlement mentality that is commonplace among young people today.
The earlier we realise that no one owes us anything, the better for us, and the more prepared we would be to face life’s challenges.
‘Don’t think you are entitled to a job, just because of your parents’ influence or what they have.
Don’t think things would be all rosy because you graduated from UNILAG with good grades. Be prepared for surprises and disappointments because life is bound to hand you a couple. The only guarantees you have in this life is what you do for yourself with the grace God has bestowed on us all.’
We need to get off our high horses, quit whining and start doing for ourselves and for our country. If something angers you so much, instead of whining, think hard about possible solutions and do something about it.
Doers have a way of finding each other out, and before you know it, you are in good company with progressive minded people that exude positive energy comrades with whom you can challenge the status quo, fight together, and succeed together.
Some of the closest friendships I have kept to this day are from my UNILAG days people I can actually trust to surmount challenges and get things done. So also, complainers have a way of finding each other out, to indulge in very depressing rhetoric about why things can’t work and who is at fault. From their comfort zones they criticise without offering any solutions and always end up frustrated, run away from such people.”
Cool Fm OAP, Dotun Ojuolape has moments ago, called out a man, Akinkunmi who he says stole from him even after all the help he gave to him.
He shares the whole story on IG:
“When a thief kisses you, count your teeth. AKINKUNMI LANRE ODEKUNLE is a boy I took in as family with the hope of seeing you soar and being appeased by your peers as successful instead you constantly chose the wrong part of bringing disgrace to us and the entire team. I warned you to be weary of one thing “STEALING” cos it might destroy you but when it is a dealing that also includes family then you have given me no choice. He lied to us for 4 years that he was in the university of Lagos, taking money, school fees and he never visited class for one day.
A shocking video of this guy was sent to me swearing at a shrine, of not stealing N250,000 from a friend. He was beaten badly! (I’ll POST IT)
Now let me break it down and please guys learn
He is an ATM fraudster what you all know as “LOCAL”
One of his tricks is he gets your ATM or Pin, unlocks it
and gives to a friend who has a POS and swipes it to the POS owner’s account. He destroys it afterwards. I was a victim. Another story for another day.
I was angry that a few of my things were stolen on my last trip to London. He stole all, my money, wristwatch, perfume, an Ultra skinny MacBook (gold) laptop and sold it for 120,000. He pain me die cos I lost all my work.
He has a constant dealer in Surulere that he sells stolen phones and laptops to.
I forgave him so many times and I even put a call through to @aleeygiwa for advice . Well, I have listened to my parents and wards who said I should let it all go even tho I felt a lil cheated but not without letting the world know a face you shouldn’t deal with. He is tarnishing my reputation and I won’t let that happen.
We get all sort of calls on his misbehavior and actions how he uses my company to transact shady businesses. PLEASE BEWARE OF HIM AND HE doesn’t work for ECLEFTIC ENTERTAINMENT anymore.
He constantly gives his proceed to a girl he’s being dying to date, he is quite desperate and he was so much in love that he wrote the girl’s full name at his back, so for proper identification guys, check his back
He was a boy I took in cos he wanted tutoring and didn’t have a means, so I decided to help. He was a junior in high school. He is on the run now.”

“(Part 1) He is the guy in white. They say it’s a more orthodox way of catching a thief. According to the video; If the feathers stays down, it means you didnt. If it stays down, then you did. Well, we all might not believe in it but I got this video of where he was caught. Now, it’s the confidence he still had to still take the routine. He is very dangerous and I can’t imagine why he would still go through the process when you know you stole it. Akin I’ll advice you, stay away from this act and it won’t change my lil will to help. It hurt me tho.”

“(PART 2) When he was caught. It isn’t a bad thing to see above everything. This is my human side and I am sorry, I couldn’t hold this in. If anything happens to me or my family. I hold you responsible AKINKUNMI and I am PUTTING IT OUT HERE!!! …have a nice day guys”
The media has on and on about new U.S President, Donald Trump and his wife Melania, saying there is no chemistry between them as compared to ex-president Obama and his wife Michelle.
This comparison photo has emerged online and it’s quite ironical that the same could have said for Obama years back when former President Bush, handed over the baton.
American female rapper, Remy Ma has revealed she suffered a miscarriage on a recent episode of Love & Hip Hop, and on her Instagram page.
Early in the episode, Remy revealed that she was indeed carrying a child and decided to surprise her husband, Papa Pap with the good news.
But that amazing high was met with a devastating low when Remy learned that not only was she losing the baby due to an ectopic pregnancy, but that she wouldn’t be able to carry any more children on her own from this point forward.
She wrote:
“First, thank you to everyone that sent their congrats as well as condolences?? This was a hard time for me & my husband & we thought long and hard before deciding to share this part of our lives with you all.
I was totally against it but in a fit of crying @papoosepapoose said ” you are not the only one going thru this , we will get thru it” …made me realize how many women like myself experience the same thing and don’t have a strong partner by their side to say it will be alright. So I’m here to tell anyone going thru a similar situation that it is not over and God has the last say so
Thank you to the staff at the hospital I was in; you all were super nice & respectful and did everything to ensure I was comfortable. And to Dr. Razmzan , who came to perform my surgery at 5am, who tried his best to leave me scarless and succeeded, who eased any fears I had- THANK YOU, & don’t retire yet cuz once we find the right in vitro dr you have to deliver my babies ?#BlackLove #RemyMa #MeetTheMackies”
UK Based Gay Rights activist, Bisi Alimi, had planned to march for Nigerian women against rape, domestic violence and child marriage on February 21st.
But he has cancelled his plans, saying his role is to engage fellow men on respecting women. He wrote:
“Many of you might have noticed that I have deleted my picture calling for a march to protest the increasing violence against women in #Nigeria. I did so not because I think it is not the best thing to do, I think we need one in Nigeria and we need NOW! But I also realised that as a man, it is not my place to initiate such idea. I will be with women and for women in Nigeria if such march is called by women. Until then, my role is to engage my fellow men on respecting the dignity of women. I am really sorry for not checking my privilege before making the video. #sorry #apology #nigeriawomenmarch #feminism.”
Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano, on Monday recommended death sentence for fake drug peddlers.
Obiano made the recommendation during the presentation ceremony of ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accreditation certificate to the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, South-East zonal Laboratory at Agulu, Anambra State by the United States Pharmacopeia Convention
He described the activities of fake drug peddlers as evil.
“It’s the worst criminal act to humanity. Fake drug is the worst crime anybody can commit. There is no need jailing such people; they should be killed”, the governor stated.
The governor, who was represented by his deputy, Dr. Nkem Okeke, said the state was making efforts to partner the Federal Government to check the influx of fake drugs into the Onitsha Bridgehead market.
To prevent the people of the state from falling prey to fake drug sellers, a health insurance scheme was being put in place to treat the people centrally, he announced.
The Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole, in his comment at the event, paid tribute to the former Director- General of the NAFDAC, the late Prof. Dora Akunyili, for her achievement. And praised her husband, Dr. Chike Akunyili, for encouraging his late wife to serve the country at various capacities.
He said,
“I would want to recognise the presence of the husband of the late Prof. Akunyili. Today is a day for celebration for you. Akunyili’s name is immortal. Posterity will ever be grateful to her for what she did in this agency and for the country.”
A man who broke into a classmate’s home in 2007 and stabbed the teenager and his parents to death in 2007 has killed himself in prison.
Cumberland County Deputy Coroner Jeff Miller said on Monday that 25-year-old Alec Kreider was found hanging in his cell Friday at the state prison in Camp Hill.
The Department of Corrections says staff members tried to revive Kreider after a guard found him unconscious in his cell. He was pronounced dead at a hospital.
Kreider was 16 when Kevin Haines and his parents, Thomas and Lisa Haines, were killed in Lancaster County in May 2007. The couple’s daughter, a college student, was awakened by the attacks and escaped unharmed.
Kreider pleaded guilty in June 2008 to first-degree murder and was sentenced to three consecutive life terms without the possibility of parole.
Prosecutors in Lancaster County said Kreider lived with his mother in 2007, and their home was about a 10-minute walk from the home of Kevin, his 10th-grade Manheim Township High School classmate.
Kreider was wearing dark clothing and wielding a hunting knife with a four-inch blade when he entered the victims’ suburban Lancaster home through an unlocked door around 2am, prosecutors said. He attacked Kevin’s parents and then the youth in their bedrooms, they said.
The couple’s daughter, a Bucknell University student home that night, awoke to the sounds of a struggle in Kevin’s room and rushed to her parents’ room, where her mortally wounded mother told her to get help. She ran to a neighbor’s home to call police.
Prosecutors read aloud excerpts from a journal Kreider wrote after the slayings expressing a ‘want/need to kill people’ and admitting having ‘murderous thoughts.’
Told by the judge at his 2008 sentencing that the family and community deserved an explanation, Kreider replied, ‘There is none.’ He told the judge he had received treatment for depression and continued to take medications daily.
Kreider’s father, Tim, told Lancaster newspapers in 2014 that when his son confessed, he ‘never gave a motive … only said something about Kevin annoying him lately.’
Actress Foluke Daramola’s husband, Kayode Salako few days back, took to his Instagram to recount when a man who knows his wife texted her immediately he saw him with another woman in a restaurant.
His wife reacted to the effect in an interview with Tribune where she said:
“Infidelity” is an English word which does not exist in the dictionary of what I share with my hubby. With or without anything like that, it can never be so strong enough to make me leave my marriage.
In support of his wife’s interview, he shared the interview photo and wrote:
“Funny enough, harassing a liberally inclined, optimally exposed and well informed socialite like me with that ugly word ” Infidelity” is like harassing a soldier with a dane gun or a brother in a church with an outdated bible. The most important to me is to continue to be a responsible man that I have always been to my conscience. I always tell my wife that playing Romeo and Juliet in this relationship wont ever bring money to the house. It is good and extensive association with substantial people that will expand our coast. So, the two of us do not limit ourselves. We are free to live. And we have been living to benefit from the exploration.That word “infidelity” does not exist in the dictionary of what my wife and I share and have built. We are Africans. We are not British or whites. We are not members of Deeper Life. We are two realistic and value based people, who know what being responsible and ideal to marital values is all about… We are in love and understand each other perfectly…”
A lot of have been written against us by the media about what we said and what we did not say. but one thing they won’t be able to write about for a long time is the story that the ‘conviction’ which brought us together has died…We are very sure about that…”
U.S President, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton may be political rivals these days, but ten years ago the duo looked like best of friends while being photographed at the billionaire mogul’s third wedding.
A photo from Donald’s 2005 wedding to Melania shows the Republican front-runner and the Democratic front-runner with their arms around one another smiling for the camera.
Also in the photograph are their spouses, Bill and Melania.
The wedding was held at Donald’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, the same place he gave his ‘victory’ speech Tuesday night after claiming more states in the Super Tuesday primaries than any of his rivals.

When Maureen Moore and her heartthrob Frank, said their vows at their wedding ceremony recently, her bridesmaids could not hold back their tears as they let the emotional fluid roll down their cheeks… and it’s making want a tissue too! ???
See more lovely photos from the ceremony below, with photos taken by Jide Kola:
Ebiminor Preye thrives in a male-dominated occupation – painting/POP jobs. The lovely lady is very hardworking, and is zealous to succeed.
With a lot of youths saying there’s no job and all, Preye found a way out and has this message for us all:
I want to address some ladies. I know I don’t have a bunch on my list, but if you are a lady then this is for you.
It’s not pride, I was telling a friend few days ago that I pity those who are not our friends now, because very soon they will struggle to get a glimpse of us.
Now, if you are a lady, girl and you are not doing anything. You just sit Changing DPs
and PM, chatting with guys and you are above 20, please know that time is running out.
If you didn’t go to school, that’s a little bit worse but it’s not the end of life, Colonel Sanders was 62 when he founded KFC that shook the world.
Who is that guy wasting your life? What have you placed value on? If you don’t place value on yourself, very soon that guy will dump you. The only way to know you value yourself is not by wearing the most expensive pancakes with the money that a guy gave to you. It’s by taking responsibility and being responsible.
The truth of the matter is that, guys have become wiser over the years and will not want to spend the rest of their lives with a liability.
You are not doing anything, you have no skill. You say you are a sexy girl. Are there not sexy girls with brains? Or are you the only girl?
Take a decision right now, go out there and learn a skill, you can learn tailoring, hair-dressing, mechanic, make-up or learn what am doing now P.O.P.
Don’t let any guy intimidate you with his car. Develop yourself and very soon you will employ him as your driver.. Stop seeing cars, start seeing stars????.
The cars which includes a Bentley, Rolls Royce and more, were purportedly stolen by the former ruler, before he stepped down.
Speaking at a press conference in the Senegalese capital Dakar, Barrow’s special adviser, Mai Ahmad Fatty, said that a Chadian cargo plane had transported luxury goods out of the country on Mr Jammeh’s behalf in his final hours in power, including vehicles.
Mr Barrow’s adviser said that officials at the Gambia airport have been ordered not to allow any other belongings of Jammeh to leave, including the remaining luxury cars waiting at the Airport to be shipped out.
Yahya Jammeh, who ruled Gambia for more than 22 years, went into exile on Saturday. More photos below:

This is Daniel Nkemelu, a graduate from the University of Ibadan, who finished his course, Computer Science, with a distinctive score of 7.0 CGPA.
In his interview with Vanguard, the young man who was born and bred in Ajegunle, Lagos, explained how he was able to achieve this.
Read:
As many stakeholders lament decadence in the sector, some Nigerian students against all odds are making us proud, as they take exception to the downward trend.
Today we bring you Daniel Nkemelu of the University of Ibadan, who graduated with 7.0 CGPA. Excerpts:
By Dayo Adesulu
TELL us about yourself.
My name is Daniel Nkemelu K.
What does the initial K. stands for?
Daniel Nkemelu Kelechukwu.
How did you come about the Yoruba names (Oluwaseun) as it appears between your name on Facebook?
I simply converted my native name (Kelechukwu) to Yoruba. I love the Yoruba culture, I’m very Nigerian.
Where did you hail from?
I am from Nnewi-North LGA in Anambra State.
How old are you, Daniel?
I’m 24.
Could you please tell us about your parents. Who are your parents and what are their occupations?
My dad, Mr Daniel Nkemelu, is a business man and my mum, Mrs Augustina Nkemelu, is a caterer and fashion designer. They are based in Lagos. I can talk about how amazing they are all day, but let me simply say, they are God’s gift to me.
What exactly do you mean?
My siblings and I were brought up with full and proper parental guidance. We were taught about morals, honesty and love for every man. These are useful qualities in today’s world.I think it is sufficient to acknowledge my Christian background and avoid mentioning a particular church. Church is a delicate topic in Nigeria and I don’t want to distract the aim of this interview.
How many children have your parents and what position are you?
I’m fifth of seven children, four boys and three girls. I’m the third boy and fifth child.
Where are they and what are they doing?
Some are married, some are working, my younger ones are schooling.
What’s your course of study?
Computer Science.
I heard that you graduated with a 7.0 CGPA, is that true?
Yes, It is true, I did.
Could you please tell us how it happened.
It was challenging and interesting. Studying at the University of Ibadan is a rigorous process. My initial intention as a freshman was to do well and hopefully get a First Class result. However, after my first session, I started having loftier dreams… In the end, I was able to achieve it.
In other universities, a perfect score is 5.0. Why is U. I perfect score 7.0.
Do you have an idea of it?
The University of Ibadan started in 1948 as an extension of the University College, London. UCL used a 7-point scale at the time and we aligned with it. I heard there are plans to switch to a 5-point scale soon, though, I’m not an authority on this subject.
Was there anyone before you with a perfect score 7.0 CGPA?
I’m not sure. My convocation ceremony would hold later this year, I’m sure the University would make a statement on this after checking the records.
Where did you grow up and how was it like?
I was born and bred in Ajegunle, Lagos. Growing was fun because we had formal education at school, informal education at home and ‘street education’ on the streets.
Tell us about your primary and secondary education.
I attended Owhenama Educational Centre (a low-cost makeshift school for children from low income homes) before moving on to Holy Family Private School to complete my primary education. For my secondary education, I attended Chiben Comprehensive College before moving on to Rolex Comprehensive College (both in Iba, Ojo, Lagos) for my Senior School Certificate Exams.
Did you ever have difficulty in paying your school fees at that level?
We were always sent home for fees; but my Dad always found a way to pay.
How was your WAEC and NECO, what were your results like?
My WASSCE result was not outstanding but it was fine enough to earn me a place in Yaba College of Technology, where I earned a National Diploma in Computer Science before moving on to the University of Ibadan. I had two distinctions and six credits.
Did you ever have difficulty in getting admission and how many times did you sit for UTME?
I wrote UTME twice. I missed out the first time. The second time I was admitted to Anambra State University and Yaba College of Technology, I chose the latter.
Why the choice of the later, when you are fully aware of polytechnics and university dichotomy?
I would say two reasons: At the time, I was guaranteed better practical application of the course at Yaba College of Technology and then there were rumours of a possible conversion to a university of technology, it eventually didn’t happen though.
Did you eventually get what you wanted at YabaTech?
I did. Yaba College of Technology was a nice experience. I graduated as the Overall Best Graduating Student in the National Diploma category for the 2011/12 session. The knowledge I gained was very influential to my success at the University of Ibadan.
Have you ever failed in primary or secondary school before?
Well, I might have failed tests and assignments but exams, I don’t think so.
What’s your reading lifestyle?
My reading pattern was very dynamic. I didn’t have a fixed time or location. My kind of course requires broad understanding of concepts and practical application, so I could spend the whole day programming or reading tech blogs and reviews.
I visited the school library occasionally because it was conducive and distraction was minimal. I also held periodic tutorials that made me read in depth, so I could explain properly to others.
Were there other things you did to fetch you money while on campus?
Yes. I’m a freelance web developer. I did some software projects for people that fetched me money. I turned down some too when I needed to concentrate on my studies.
Could you please, tell us about your social lifestyle.
Wow, the cultural diversity at the University of Ibadan is amazing. I made a lot of friends and met lots of amazing people. I was not overly outgoing but I attended many events on campus. From Electoral Campaign events, Campus Blasts, Variety Nights… Social life was balanced.
What are your future plans?
My short term plan is to serve (NYSC) and then get a Masters (or higher) degree. I strongly believe that technology has a huge role to play in Africa’s rise to dominance and shared prosperity, so I have to equip myself with the necessary experience and exposure to be world class.
Do you hope to be self employed or work for someone in an organization?
This is a decision I would make after graduate studies. I’m open to new ideas and I believe you can make impact from anywhere, either as a Software Engineer in San Francisco or a CEO in Yaba.
If I may ask, what’s the secret of your academic success?
God’s guidance and support from friends, course mates and family; focus and determination; comprehensive teaching from my lecturers. However, these aren’t secrets, so I would say, there were no secrets.
Do you have a girl friend?
I need to clarify that there is no correlation between one’s academic performance and their relationship status. It is part of the training to handle both work and emotions. And because healthy relationships help you to get better at what you do; I loved and was loved in return.
However, bad relationships or friendships can affect academic performance, sincerely. Girlfriend is not the word; but there are people of the opposite sex that mean so much to me. That’s all sir.
Were you on scholarship?
I was an Etisalat Merit Scholar and was also awarded by a group of amazing women called Women Connected By Purpose.
To what extent did the scholarship assist you?
They both came in my final year and they were very helpful. It helped me concentrate better on my studies.
Who is your role model?
I learn from lots of people. No single person holds that monopoly. From the wisdom of my dad to the love of my mum, the intelligence of W. F. Kumuyi who finished from my school and Faculty and the calmness of E. A. Adeboye, the speaking prowess of Barack Obama and the charisma of Nelson Mandela.
These people are great examples to me and many others.
What advice do you have for other students?
I always tell young people; define what success means to you and give it what it takes. Everyone may not end up as perfect CGPA holders but everyone can excel at something. Be it in leadership, programming, entrepreneurship, public speaking, academics, writing, entertainment and the likes. Be open to learn and do your best to make a difference.
My rock, my life my Dad ? Rest in Peace monkeypops ?
