Nigerian Instagram user, @Georgeangel_ was shocked to the bones when a man she had ignored on social media, after he told her ‘I love you’, wished her death before the end of this month!
Without wasting any time, Georgeangel lashed back and sent the curse back to its sender, a man she says she doesn’t even know. See below:
Wasiu Aliyu, a driver at the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), is in trouble after he woke up at his lover’s house on Assfood street, Oriola, Alapere, Lagos and discovered that the staff bus, N23m Toyota Hiace, had been stolen.
According to Punch, Aliyu, a casual worker, was arraigned on Monday on two counts of stealing in an Ikeja Magistrate’s Court.
A neighbor of the girlfriend had alerted the father of two children, around 4am that he saw some strange faces inside the bus. As Aliyu rushed out to know what was happening, the thieves reportedly zoomed off.
The 36-year-old indigene of Ilorin, Kwara State, was said to have reported the alleged theft at the Alapere Police Station and informed a manager of Doset Civil Engineering, which owned the vehicle.
Aliyu told the police that he had been driving the bus for over three years, stating that he had no hand in the stealing.
He said:
“I was employed by the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation as a casual worker sometime in 2014. At about 8pm on January 21, I went to my girlfriend’s house in Oriola to pass the night. A man came to wake me up around 4am that he saw sys inside the bus. Before I got to where the bus was, they had left with it. It was a mistake that I parked the bus on the street becaome bouse there is no security there.”
The manager, Osele Philips, in his statement, stated that a specific and safe garage was provided for the driver to park the vehicle, saying the company suspected a foul play.
Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has described the phenomenon of fake news as one of the greatest threat to the country.
Speaking in Abuja at the seventh edition of the National Security Seminar, the minister listed five fake news which had been in circulation recently.
According to him,
“Regrettably, fake news is circulated worldwide through the means of the social media and it travels faster.
Only recently, we have to refute the fake news that Nigeria today is the most difficult place for Christians to live (1).
There was also the fake report that the armed forces of Nigeria armed the Fulani herdsmen and instigate them to carry out attacks (2).
All these news are unfounded, fake and has the capacity to set one religion or group against the other,’’ he said.
The minister said the most recent of such disinformation was the news of the alleged killing of some members of a pro-Biafra group, the Indigenous People of Biafra (3).
He also recalled the recent visit by two leaders of All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu and Bisi Akande to President Muhammadu Buhari in London which the champions of disinformation claimed it never happened (4).
He said similarly, it took the intervention of the US government to set the record straight through a release that its President, Donald Trump truly had a telephone conversation with President Buhari (5).
Members of the House of Representatives expressed shock on Tuesday that the Presidential Committee on North-East Initiative budgeted N60m to award contracts to cut grasses in communities ravaged by Boko Haram insurgents this year.
The development is coming while the controversy generated by a similar contract worth over N200m awarded by the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr. Babachir David-Lawal, has yet to abate.
The N60m in the 2017 budget of PCNI is to cover contracts to cut “shrubs, grasses and trees” along the Maiduguri-Mama Road alone.
Lawmakers picked out the figure when the PCNI appeared before the House Committee on Internally Displaced Persons to defend its N45bn on humanitarian assistance, rehabilitation and resettlement of displaced villagers.
The Chairman of the committee, Mr. Sani Zoro, and other members were alarmed over the allocation.
“You can’t travel this same way (awarding contracts on grasses) again; it is not acceptable.
“Why can’t you assign this duty to the military to do it for you?
“They can use their personnel to clear the grasses and you can drop this idea of awarding contracts with N60m.”
Members were also worried that most provisions in the N45bn budget were for “security” and procurement of equipment for military services as against providing shelter, food, hospitals and schools for displaced persons.
“Your duty, from what we understand, is to provide succour for the displaced persons. These people are traumatised and they need urgent basic amenities as they return home. Rehabilitation has to do with their survival as human beings first,” Zoro added.
Members said several provisions appeared questionable.
Zoro noted,
“Maybe, you must first give us the mandate of the PCNI. You have N184m for screening programme for humanitarian activities.
What does that mean?
“There is N150m on advocacy and early warning system and N165m for conflict management.
“You are going to deliver security equipment for N200m. What type of security equipment? Then another N2.5bn for security outfits.
“Are you telling us that part of your role is to fund the operations of the military in the North-East? The military have their own budget already.
“Why are you not talking about food, shelter, medical care and schools for these IDPs?
Some Nigerians were taken aback to see a rare photo of a traditional chief from Imo state, plaiting his wife’s hair.
The traditional chief from Ekwe Kingdom in Imo State with the name, Mel Adiegwu shared the photos on Facebook, which caused people to react, most especially his village people.
Deducing from his profile, the chief spends time in Chicago in the United States, but that doesn’t stop him from breaking tradition by plaiting his wife’s hair regularly.
In spite of people reminding him that he is traditional chief, Mel, was not ashamed of showing love to his wife.
Nollywood actor and actress Empress Njamah‘s brother, John Njamah took to his Facebook page to urge married women to not only tell their single friends about the good sides of marriage, but should also tell them about the conflicts and uncertainties.
He wrote on his wall:
“This is a call from my heart to all married women with single friends. Tell them the truth about MARRIAGE. Stop telling them only about the nice parts,the new car,trips outside the country,the cute kids,rich husband etc. Tell them how being a wife/mother is a full time job. Tell them about the sleepless nights,the vigils,the uncertainties,the conflicts,etc. Above all let them understand its not earned nor is it by Beauty or Brains,neither is it by how good you are in the bedroom. It is only by grace and grace alone. Tell them it is achieved only by being on your knees to God and by assuming your ROLE as a wife/mother. Tell them that real homes are built with patience and strength and not by designer clothes and bags. Husbands are not Atm machines,they are our friends and sons and God’s representatives in our homes. Enough of this flash and class about marriage. It is a UNION not a SOCIAL network platform. I rest my case. Good day people..”
The controversial and outspoken ex-housemate, who always had tongues wagging while she was still in the house, is photoed here for the first time after leaving the big brother house, at the airport as she heads back home.
Gifty was evicted from the Big Brother house last Sunday, after she had the least votes of 23% among herself, Marvis and Thin Tall Tony, of whom had 42% and 35% votes respectively.
Gifty spent 28 days in the house and so far so good, is one of the most talked about housemate, thanks to her drama in the house.
Viki Odintcova, a Russian model, who is quite popular on Instagram, was dragged to the local police, for risking her life on Dubai’s Caylan tower, to take daring shots for Instagram.
The 23-year-old, who was assisted on the 1,004-foot tall Cayan Tower, by the hand of a male assistant as she leaned out to get the perfect Instagram shot, was forced to sign an undertaken of “I will never do it again“.
She was dragged to the city’s police after her photos and videos, dangling in the air went viral.
Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, on a live interview with African Independent Television, AIT, revealed his intentions of becoming the President of Nigeria some day.
The Governor who was hosted on the “Focus Nigeria” show by Gbenga Aruleba said;
“It is not by power. It is destiny. I did not believe it when I became Ekiti governor after eight years of leaving office.
“I will be the vice president of Nigeria, even the President very soon.”
Instagram user, @scar.ripdj, was told she won’t survive a burn she had last year in a house fire – the lady who refused to let words dictate for her, took to her page to share an amazing transformation one year after.
The Kentucky based burn survivor shared side by side photos of herself at the intensive care unit and herself now and wrote:
“A little over a year ago I managed to escape my house fire, I had little to NO chance of living, i was put on life support and a priest was standing in my hospital room with my family anxiously waiting to see if I would be called to the Lord or not. Thankfully God allowed to give me another chance at life and I have to thank him for that. Never question the abilities that our Lord and savior can make happen. My scars are beautiful ❤ #burnsurvivor #firesurvivor”
A memorandum which has been shared to lecturers of Nigeria’s foremost university, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, states that the lecturers will be denied their promotion if students are dissatisfied with their qualities.
According to the memorandum signed by the Deputy Vice Chancellor of the school, lecturers whose teaching score falls below 50% (to be determined by student’s evaluation), will be denied their promotion, no matter how well he/she performs in other criteria.
Uti Nwachukwu, who was the winner of Big Brother Africa 5, has come for the Port-Harcourt based Pastor, Mike Winning, who placed a curse on big brother naija sponsors for supporting immorality.
This comes after comedian, Seyilaw, called out the Pastor in an Instagram post earlier.
According to him, if his career can’t explain the purpose of the show, then one needs to go back to school.
Na wa! Na real wa! He is HUGE! Like literally HUGE and I can’t even tell if he’s a basketball player… cause he doesn’t look like he’s got the “body” for it, he might have the height, but not the body.
Real Madrid forward, Cristiano Ronaldo has been lined up, not on the football pitch this time but to feature in a TV drama series alongside American actress and filmmaker, Angelina Jolie.
The world class footballer is expected to appear in a TV drama series about Syrian refugees, “Hayat Koprusu” trying to escape war.
Director of the series, Eyup Dirlik said Ronaldo will make a cameo appearance. He further added that it will feature actors and actresses from all over the world.
The TV series will be released in April of this year.
He said:
“The series is about the plight of a Syrian refugee family who flees the war-torn country, and what they go through.”
“We will begin filming in the first week of April, the series is about the plight of a refugee family and what they go through.”
“There will be appearances from actors and actresses from all over the world including Cristiano Ronaldo, Angelina Jolie and Nancy Ajram.”
Ronaldo already has a documentary/film about him chronicling his time and Real Madrid which culminated into his 2015 FIFA Ballon d’Or awards.
So this business card had us wondering though… you can boldly see the “Son-in-law to his excellency” written there – could there be? Could there be really a post as the “Son-in-law of the governor?”
Actress, Matilda Obaseki, has in a series of tweets come for Big Brother Naija housemate, Thin Tall Tony, calling him “the lowest of all kinds of scum and not worthy of praise” and “if his wife is smiling, then she’s a fool!”
This comes after the BBN housemate said he was single to fellow housemate, Bisola, who he has for a while now, been sharing all sorts of sexual intimacy with.
Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi has said that he would introduce a law prohibiting poor men from marrying more than one wife, saying there is a connection between polygamy, poverty and terrorism. .
The Royalty said because muslims practice polygamous marriage, most poor men end up marrying up to four wives with as many as 20 children whom they sometimes don’t train in schools hence, some of them become thugs and terrorists.
The Emir is quoted as saying:
“Those of us in the [mainly Muslim] north have all seen the economic consequences of men who are not capable of maintaining one wife, marrying four. They end up producing 20 children, not educating them, leaving them on the streets, and they end up as thugs and terrorists.”
He discussed different areas to be covered by the wide-ranging family law, which he said would be passed by the Kano state government.
“The law will address what Islam says on marriage, it will outlaw forced marriages, it will make domestic violence illegal, it will put in conditions that you need to fulfil before you can marry a second wife, it will spell out the responsibilities of a father beyond producing a child.
It is a big law which covers a whole range of issues from consent to marriage, to maintenance to divorce, to maintenance of children and inheritance. It will be the first time in northern Nigeria that a Muslim law on personal status will be codified,” he said
A light aircraft on Tuesday, exploded in a “massive fireball” with police disclosing none of the five people aboard survived as it smashed into a shopping centre near the Australian city of Melbourne.
The Beechcraft plane veered just after take-off into the shopping centre, that was still closed, next to Essendon Fields airport.
The light aircraft crashed just after 9am local time today moments after taking off from Essendon Airport.
Pilot Max Quartermain, 63, reported a “catastrophic engine failure” moments before the plane crashed into a storage area at the rear of the shopping centre, police said.
The West Australian’s aviation editor, Geoffrey Thomas told the channel the plane appeared to have lost power in its left-hand engine, causing it to stall.
He said it was not fully loaded – carrying five people and golf buggies – and had enough fuel for its journey.
The four passengers were a group of American golfers playing their way around the world on the trip of a lifetime, news.com.au reports.
A Port Harcourt based pastor, Mike Winning caused a stir online yesterday after he made a post on his Facebook page, placing a curse on sponsors of Big Brother Naija show – the post he has since deleted. (See here)
Comedian Seyi Law, isn’t quite pleased with the man of God as he took to his Instagram to call him out. He wrote:
“What a joke of a Pastor. Did Jesus lay curses on those who turned His Father’s house to a market place of all sorts or He just rebuked them. Some of all these people who call themselves Pastors actually think they are God o. Oga Ade, go and have a rethink abeg and ask God for forgiveness. I am not in support of the immoral acts in Big Brother Naija, but as a Christian when the devil brings darkness, you shine your light. If you don’t like what they protray, change your channel.
Pastor, please organise your own Big Christ House and give money that will change the followers of Christ’s lives and see if men and your father in heaven won’t praise you.
Pastor talking like Nigeria Government, why is Big Brother Naija been held in SA when they have refused to create an enabling environment to allow businesses to thrive. You curse kor you close ni. Long Hisssssssssss.
These types of prayer are for your closet not public, Mr. Pastor. Praying their resources should run dry. Ah ah, Pastor, do you know how many are on the employment list of Payporte and Dufil, the makers of Indomie? You are a wicked man. Pray a better abeg.”
Facebook user, Daniel Chukwuemeka, has shared the sweetest story you could hear all day – he narrated how his neighbour gave birth in his car on the 18th of February by 12:58.
He shared photos of the new baby and his cars stained of blood and wrote:
“Last night, my neighbour gave birth to a baby girl, IN MY CAR.
Actually, it happened this morning. 12:58 am. I have never witnessed a thing like that before. I only saw such in Nollywood movies.
I was not fast asleep. But I was hearing the first set of gentle knocks on my door in my dreams. Kpam Kpam Kpam Kpam, Daniel o…repeatedly. Later I would deem whoever was knocking that way as unserious. How could such knocks wake me up? But I have just slept off an hour before then. So I was woken up immediately the knock got louder. I rushed out, hearing the cries for help. She was already in labour—my neighbour. My God! I saw the baby’s head pushing itself out of my neighbour’s privates. She was fast losing blood, as they kept flowing uncontrollably. As if that was not enough a strange sight for me, I saw that white, long thing they call umbilical cord. Damn it! That was actually when the baby had completely come out. Chai. Poor child. Crying. We didn’t know what to do. I was clueless. Her friend—a young lady—was clueless too. There was no other neighbour available. And it was already 01:05 am. But that my neighbour, ba? She was a strong woman. She kept reassuring her panic-stricken friend to stop shouting, re affirming that she’d be fine. She was even the one that suggested we go to a nearby hospital. Olodo like me, I couldn’t even think of any meaningful thing to do. My head was full. But she was strong. We carried her down to my car, carrying the baby alongside, careful not to draw the umbilical cord too apart from her. Chai. Blood. She lost a lot of blood. I gently drove us to a nearby hospital. The staff responded quickly. The cord was cut while she was still in the car. The baby survived. The mother survived too. I went back home later and got them some clothes, and tea, milk, bread and hot water for the mother.
This is what I call miracle. Not turning water into wine. In this part of the world, we say “Thank God” for even things we can do ourselves. So for the first time in my life, I’ll do this, because I am overwhelmed:
Thank God for my neighbour’s strong resolve in the face of hysteria;
Thank God for the mechanic guy that didn’t tell me stories yesterday, but promptly worked on the car’s fan belt, making the car available;
Thank God for the staff of Divine Mercy Hospital and Maternity, Orba road, Nsukka, especially the gate man, for their immediate response to our call for help;
And finally, thank God for giving us humans all that we need to survive the pestilence and pains He also created on earth, for surely He created all things. Amen!
I learnt a few things:
1. A pregnant woman shouldn’t be left alone. I used to say I’d run out of home when my wife gets heavy, to avoid a pregnant woman’s wahala. Dear future wife, I have changed my mind. I now understand what you women go through. I’ll be there, through it all. No business trips. No conferences or seminar. In fact no work for me. I’ll be there. We will do it together. After all, we had sex together (whatever that means).
2. I think one should always have fuel in one’s car. Anything can happen any time. And no petrol station might be available at that time.
3. Do not overlook the importance of neighbourliness. And if your neighbour is one who hardly responds to knocks on his/her door (like my former useless neighbour), declare such a neighbour as useless to humanity.
Finally, women, please accept the assurances of my ernest respect for your natural abilities. Truly, there’s more to your privates than just sexual activity.
PS: the head nurse said I’d make a good father, because of the way I was in charge. Is that true? I mean, why not? :D”
A 500-level part-time Business Administration student of the Lagos State University is battling with a broken arm and injuries allegedly inflicted on her face by operatives of the Lagos State Taskforce on Environmental and Special Offences (Enforcement) Unit.
The student, 28-year-old Sewuese Matthew, was reportedly battered for using her foster sister’s mobile phone to video the operation of the officials on Durosimi-Etti Drive, in the Lekki Phase 1 area of the state.
The foster sister, Lilian Ifemeludike, told Punch Metro that she was also assaulted by the task force men.
It was learnt that Ifemeludike and Matthew had gone to repair a punctured tyre at a vulcaniser’s stand on the estate when a team of enforcement agents stormed the area, seizing the machine for allegedly causing environmental nuisance.
It was gathered that the vulcaniser begged the officials, while Ifemeludike also urged the officials to allow him to repair the tyre.
Matthew said she decided to record with the phone when the scene turned rowdy, but was caught by an operative, who allegedly punched her in the face.
She said other officials joined in the assault, pummeling her and Ifemeludike and later seizing the phone.
The student said,
“On Wednesday, February 8, my sister and I were going out of the estate in her car, when the car had a flat tyre. While we were at the vulcanizer’s place trying to fix the tyre, the task force officials stormed the area and packed wares displayed by the roadside.
There was chaos and some people were filming what was happening. I also tried to do so while my sister was pleading with them. A tall policeman among them walked up to me, snatched the phone and started punching me.
I ran to my sister, crying. He smashed the phone on the ground and she picked it. The officer and other policemen chased her and started hitting her until they collected the phone from her. I rushed there and pleaded with them to leave her. They punched me in the mouth, face and neck. I also broke my hand.”
Matthew stated that they followed the officials to the task force office in Oshodi and reported the incident to the task force Chairman, SP Olayinka Egbeyemi, who condemned the assault.
“But when the officials appeared before the chairman, they told him a different story, saying we insulted them. The chairman then vowed to deal with us and we were detained. The next morning, they charged us to court in Ogba. I could not meet up my bail conditions that day, so I was taken to the Kirikiri Prison without my injuries being treated. I was released on Friday when the bail was perfected and I went to the Lagos Island General Hospital for treatment,” she added.
Ifemeludike, a United Nations Women Empowerment champion, said the officials’ conduct was a breach of the enforcement ethics, saying her phone, a Samsung Galaxy S7, had yet to be released.
“What pained me most was the fact that they punched my sister in the eye. They could have arrested her if they felt she had done something wrong.
Security operatives need to know when to use force and understand that they are dealing with humans. We were wrongly charged to court and my sister is still traumatised by what she went through in Kirikiri,” she said.
The Public Relations Officer, National Association of Nigerian Students, Idowu Odebunmi, said the association would hold a protest against the alleged assault on February 28.
“Police abuse remains one of the most serious human rights violations in the world. There have been several reports of unjustified shootings, unlawful arrests, extortion, unlawful killings and rough treatment meted out to students, with the most recent being an unjustifiable attack unleashed on one of our female students, Sewuese Matthew,” he added.
The spokesperson for the task force, Taofiq Adebayo, stated that videoing contravened the law of the agency, adding that the phone was being kept as an exhibit.
He, however, denied that the women were assaulted by the officials.
He said:
“No responsible and responsive government will allow activities that contradict the state environmental law to go on. In the course of enforcing the law on the walkway on the estate, the machine of a vulcaniser was impounded. He had been warned several times not to position his machine by the roadside.
The ladies in question were not directly involved in the matter. But because they wanted to gauge the tyre, they intervened. One of them started filming with a phone. In enforcement, we don’t allow such. She was saying all sorts of things against the chairman and the state governor.
The case is now in court and the phone is still with the court as an exhibit. They were never assaulted. Members of the public don’t have the right to record enforcement agents performing their lawful duties without the permission of the authority.”
Fast forward to this year, his beautiful wife has now bore him a bouncing baby boy and to celebrate her, he bought her a brand new Mercedes Benz!

A 12-year-old girl identified as Mary, jilted with her boss’ daughter, Faith Ayeh, last week Friday – the incident reportedly occured at the Kudirat Abiola Estate, Akute Road, Iju Ishaga area of Lagos State.
According to PUNCH Metro, Mary had been employed by the family through an agent about five months ago. She was said to be working directly with the woman of the house, Mrs. Glory Ayeh, who had a frozen foods shop on the street.
However, the suspect reportedly went out with the victim last Thursday, and their whereabouts had remained unknown.
Faith’s father, Paul, told Punch that his family had been shattered by the incident, saying efforts to locate them had been abortive.
He said:
“My family needed a house help and one of my wife’s friends arranged one for us. She brought Mary to my family about five months ago. She is the same age with my daughter.
“I was told that last Thursday, Mary disappeared from the house with my daughter. Our driver said he saw them with a bag.
“He said when he queried them, Mary answered that my wife asked them to take the bag to her shop. Since then, we have not heard anything.”
He said the matter, which was reported at the Iju Ishaga Police Division, had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Yaba.
Paul said the agent who brought the suspect to the family had been arrested, adding that she was assisting the police with investigations.
The suspect, who hails from Benue State, was staying with her parents in Ibadan, Oyo State, before she was brought to live with the Ghanaian family. The victim’s mother, Glory Ayeh, said the agent was a relative of the suspect.
“I never sent them on any errand. She lied to take my daughter away,” she added.
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, confrimed the incident, saying it had been transferred to the SCIID.

Though the ex-couple split up few months ago, and the rapper has since been linked with actress cum singer, Jennifer Lopez, the rapper shouted out to his old flame during his concert in Dublin on Monday night.
A fan caught the video in which Drake begins;
“It’s somebody’s birthday today—somebody I have a lot of love for and a lot of respect for,” he told the crowd as they started applauding and screaming with excitement. “So, instead of singing ‘Happy birthday,’ though, we just going to do this in Dublin. Instead of singing ‘Happy Birthday,’ we’re going to set it off just like this…”
He trailed off as “Work,” his collaboration with Riri, began playing.
