A young man who resides in Awka, Chinonso Ikezulumba, won N10million in an ongoing Airtel promo and fainted during the cheque presentation.
According to Joseph Akelicious who shared the story yesterday, when Chinonso was invited to the firm’s Awka office to pick up his cheque, he thought everything was just ‘story’ until the Airtel guys brought out both the dummy and real cheque.
Chinonso fainted but came to after some minutes.
He said that he is a petty fashion goods trader at Nnewi but that his business has since collapsed. He had prayed to God over the Christmas to give him N10M to start his business again and just like that, the money came via Airtel promo.
He was accompanied to the Airtel office by his mother and two sisters and said he plans to get married in May, and that he had already planned it before the Airtel windfall.

The groom, who is popularly referred to as KMJ or Arab Money, is the owner of KMJ Ventures, KMJ Entertainment & KMJ Farms Nig Ltd. They had their white wedding Last year December.

A UK student who has been dubbed as “Kazakhstan Barbie” has lashed back at Muslim critics in her homeland who slammed her because of her latest collection of sexy social media snaps.
According to Daily Mail, Dinara Rakhimbaeva, 21, is studying finance at the University of Nottingham and loves flaunting her perfect body in sexy lingerie on social media.
The 5-foot 9-inch student has a tiny 22-inch waist, measures 34 inches around her hips and weighs 7 stone. And her social media photos usually show her in lacy black bras, panties and lacy camisoles.
The pictures have however provoked a storm of controversy back home in Kazakhstan where the majority Muslim population take a dim view of such displays of female flesh.
One person commented:
‘Dinara this is too much, there is nothing beautiful in this picture.
‘Only people we love should be allowed to see our naked body, you are good looking but you should not expose your body to anyone!’
And another female social media user complained: ‘You should not show your bare t**s like that!’
Dinara answered her critics saying: ‘
You girls seem to have forgotten that you should be kind by nature.
‘Why are you so mean? There is so much hate directed towards me but I did not do nothing to you.
‘I would like to wish you all happiness and love.’
Uber is being sued over a rogue driver who allegedly beat the crap out of his passenger and left him for dead.
According to TMZ, the whole thing went down back in December – the passenger, Joseph Fusco says he requested an Uber to take him on a 9 mile ride to his home to Cherry Hill, NJ. In the lawsuit he’s filed against Uber, Joseph says the driver refused to drive him there.
Joseph pleaded, but says the driver got pissed, dragged him out of the car and beat him senseless … breaking multiple bones in his face, knocking out teeth and leaving him in a pool of blood in the cold.
He thinks there’s surveillance video showing him unconscious as the driver stomped him.
Adding insult to injury, Joseph says the driver charged him for a 28 minute ride — and Uber has refused to ID the driver for investigators.
Sources connected to Uber said the company dropped the driver as soon as the incident was reported, and contrary to Joseph’s suit, is fully supporting the investigation., TMZ adds.
Honestly, you can barely tell the difference between the both – the US based Nollywood Actress, shared these stunning photos of her look alike elder sister, Josephine.
She wrote alongside the photos:

Wisdom for Young Men
Dear young man,
A man with a six pack is not as attractive in the eyes of an average woman as the man who earns six figures. So don’t hang out with people who you don’t want to end up like. People who develop their bodies but not their minds.
We become like our friends and our friends become like us. Finally, learn to cut your coat according to your cloth. Expensive phones won’t give you rich conversations. Fools still speak foolishly on an iPhone 7 and wisemen still speak wisely on an old Nokia #RenosNuggets
An 87 year old ‘young lady’ has testified in Bishop Oyedepo’s Winners Chapel church that about 30 robbers on a mission to rob her, fled on sighting the General Overseer’s picture at her premises.
Winners’ Chapel shared the testimony on their page but it’s got a lot of people doubting how the truth of the story.
Is anybody else seriously laughing with me now?! 87 year old “young lady” and 30, odindin 30 robbers! I also wonder how the 87 year old young lady counted the whooping thirty robbers!

As a celebrity, you’re tagged as someone who’s life is meant to be extraordinary – you don’t do the things less popular people do, else it just might damage your reputation.
But hey! That’s just a stereotype, who says these celebrities are not allowed to enjoy a normal life?! Least, they were just normal people before they broke into stardom nor?
Let’s take a look at some celebrities, who were caught taking a break from extravagant lifestyles and acting like normal people!

Nigerian midfielder, Alex Iwobi beat off competition from Sandra Owussu Ansah and Eric Ayiah last night as he won the CAF Young Player of the Year category award. (See the full list of winners here)
His proud girlfriend, Clarrise, (who we can’t easily forget, thanks to her mouth watering IG photos)has taken to her IG page to celebrate her beau.
She shared this photo of her man and wrote:
Well done to my baby! Youth player of the year 2016 in Africa! ?? #morelife #proud ?❤❤
Give or take… He’s an average hustler, a promising one let’s just say… and he’s as short as the man in the photo above, and you’re about 3 inches taller than he is… just like the lady too… Can you date him?!
Remember, he’s a hustler… cause many of you will say as long as he has money, why not?! But this is your regular type of promising average hustler… will you still date him?!
Many a times have we heard of the preferential treatment between white non-Nigerians and Nigerians, how our security men would rather handle them better than their real citizens whom they’re supposed to protect with their lives.
While some don’t really see the big deal in it, others are sore worried that it might become a whale of a problem in the future – Twitter user @IamYoungStunna seems to be in that light as he shares his story of how he was almost shot by a Nigerian policeman all because of a mere Lebanese man.
The beautiful Nigerian professional footballer, Asisat Oshoala, who plays for Liverpool Ladies stepped out looking elegant in this glittery gown.
She is a nominee for the award’s woman player of the year – the beauty accessorized with a choker, shimmering wrist bangles and purse to influence her lovely gown.
This is a total different side of her we’re seeing, compared to her usual sportswear, tracksuits and all…
The babies had been detained over the inability of their parents to pay the remaining N150,000 of the N300,000 medical bill.
Their mother, Sarah Ademola, had fled Felken Maternity Centre on Awofodu Street, where she was delivered of the babies, due to the inability of her husband, Adeyemi Ademola, to pay the bill.
Adeyemi had lamented the financial difficulty of the family and told Punch that he was frustrated by the development. People owing him were not paying up, he said. Adding that he was making efforts to settle the bills.
The matter was taken to the Somolu Police Station, where a Divisional Police Officer planned to mediate.
However, after the report went viral on Thursday, many Nigerians indicated interest in settling the bills, as well as helping the family.
An NGO that visited the family earlier on Thursday paid the N150,000 while a member of the Senate representing Lagos East, Senator Gbenga Asafa; gave the babies N100,000.
Some other Nigerians outside the country were also said to have called the hospital to indicate willingness to pay the bill.
The matron of the hospital, Mrs. Gloria Akinbobola, told Punch:
Immediately the report came out this morning, an NGO came and transferred the balance into our account. They also promised to give the family N50,000 to take care of the babies.
“They don’t want to be identified. We have received calls from many other people. A lot of them have been making promises.”
A representative of Senator Asafa, Kanmi Adebowale, said the N100,000 gift was for the upkeep of the girls, adding that the senator decided to support the family because they lived within his senatorial district.
The mother of the children have also reappeared.
Punch contacted her husband, Adeyemi and he said he had found the mother of the twins, saying she had been taken to her hometown in Agbowa, Lagos State.
He said:
“We are grateful to Nigerians. We have found the mother of the twins, but the problem is that she is terribly sick and has been taken to her hometown in Agbowa.”
Sarah, the twins’ mother also said:
“I didn’t abandon my twins. I had to flee the maternity centre because I was not well taken care of.
“All they were interested in was their money. They said they would not attend to me until their N300,000 was complete. I was abandoned in the place.
“After we borrowed N70,000 from the cooperative society, they still didn’t attend to me. I had to run away to find solution to my health.
“I am in a place where they are treating me now. Please pray for me to survive. I am dying. I don’t want to die. I want to live to take care of my babies. I want to reap the fruit of my labour.”
Arik Air on Thursday lamented incessant attacks by some aggrieved passengers on its staff and property at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos.
The airline made this known in a statement signed by its Communications Manager, Mr Ola Adebanji and obtained by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos.
The statement said the airline staff and property were attacked by the passengers on Wednesday while its flight operations were disrupted again on Thursday.
It said the issue started when the airline’s Lagos-New York flight was rescheduled from Wednesday to Thursday due to the shortage of aviation.
“Our Lagos-Johannesburg service and Lagos- Accra service were also on ground
awaiting fuel while the Lagos-New York service was standing by for fuel.
“Aviation fuel supply has been epileptic in the country over the past weeks where availability of stock and terms of service are not guaranteed on a consistent basis by the marketers.
“Arik Air pursued all possible options to source fuel for the international flights but when our Customer Service Manager approached the passengers to explain the situation to them, one of the passengers chased and attacked him. ”
Adebanji said this is was followed by a mob of passengers who brutally beat, kicked and chased the Arik Air staff through the terminal building upto the Immigration Section of the terminal.
He said the staff was later rushed to the hospital where he was treated for injuries sustained “during this reckless and inhuman attack”.
According to the spokesperson Arik Air managed to source a small quantity of fuel and despite eventually sorting out the departure of the Johannesburg service, some of the passengers again on Thursday disrupted the airline’s check-in process.
He said this led to the cancellation of some of the international flights, including the Lagos-London Heathrow-Lagos service.
“Arik Air strongly condemns the incessant and increasing number of attacks on our staff and property in the recent months.
“As a flag carrier for Nigeria, the airline expresses it disappointment and dismay that the Aviation Security Department (AVSEC) of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) and all the other security agencies in the country cannot ensure or guarantee the safety of our personnel when on duty across the various airports in the country.
“This serious breach of security and lawlessness by some of the passengers to assault and cause bodily harm to the airline’s personnel cannot and will not continue to be tolerated.
“Passengers continue to take the laws into their hands and the severity and frequencies of such criminal acts are on the rise due to lack of appropriate action or preventative measures from the security agencies.
“The resort to verbal or physical violence in any form by a passenger is not acceptable to Arik Air and the airline would henceforth deploy all measures necessary against any passenger who takes the law into his hands.”
It said the airline would also pursue legal action and engage local and foreign security agencies to investigate, identify and prosecute, to the full extent of the law, all of those passengers in Nigeria and overseas, involved in the attacks.
Adebanji said the airline also intended to formally address the regulators, security agencies and aviation authorities both in Nigeria and overseas to get an immediate resolution to this matter.
“Security at our airports ought to be improved to guard against unwarranted and uncalled for assaults on airline personnel and passengers.
” Despite repeated appeals and calls for intervention on numerous occasions, the airport authorities and security agencies have done nothing to protect the lives of staff and property of Arik Air in the wake of these attacks.
” The same authorities are however spontaneous in sanctioning the airlines whenever there is a service disruption without providing adequate support or security to prevent passengers from disrupting the service in the first instance.”
Nollywood actor, Prince Eke has newly disclosed that his 4 year marriage to singer Muma Gee is over. He in fact, revealed that the marriage ended three months ago and they are about to officially file for a divorce.
LIB reached out to him today and the actor confirmed his marriage to Muma Gee was over, saying:
“The truth is this. I am no longer married to Muma Gee. We are separated, for about 3 months now.
Let’s just say it (our marriage) didn’t work. We are not compatible. Talking about Muma
Gee now is going to remind me of things I have forgotten. I have moved on and she has
also moved on. I don’t want talk to Muma Gee again.
A lot of people have different impressions about everybody. People try to judge you even when they don’t know you. I don’t want to go into details but the thing is, Muma Gee and I are separated and very soon we will be officially divorced. I’m no longer married to Muma Gee.
In due time, the divorce will be filed.
The thing is, there is a straw that breaks the camel’s back and when it does, you find out that probably all the beautiful years you had were just a mirage. Marriage is meant to be enjoyed not endured.
Who has custody of the kids?
I don’t need to agitate about who should have custody of the kids. To be honest, I won’t be able to take care of them like a mother would and they are too tender. They are with their mother. I allowed that because I can’t take care of them for now. They will probably slow me down and my job also restricts me
LIB: Why did you take your marital issues to social media?
I don’t feel good speaking about my private affair in public but the reason I had to speak out was because at that point, for 3 months Muma Gee was no were to be found. People said they saw her in Abuja.
I saw your wife in Abuja o, with the crazy hair that she made” but all the same, It’s her life not my life.
I had to go to the social welfare for kids, they invited her. They almost arrested her before she now came back and carried the kids. The next thing she did was to snap photos with the kids and put up on social media.
Why I spoke out at the first instance was because I felt so bad. No matter what, no matter who you have met now or that Mr right you have now, that person is not enough and shouldn’t be capable of convincing you to abandon your kids for that long.
For you to be convinced to abandon your kids for that long means that maybe something has been going on while you were still with me or you feel with this person, I have got everything that I wanted but have you asked yourself how old am I?
Will I be able to have kids again? I felt so bad. Why will a woman abandon my kids? Assuming she went with them, I wouldn’t have minded but when I come around her house to see my kids because we don’t live together, I find out they are with the nanny. Why? And I will be on location and the nanny will call me and say my child is vomiting. What! Where the fuck is their mother?
If you are married you will understand where I am coming from. It’s so painful and a lot of my friends were like ‘don’t put your family matter on social media’ but I needed to explode. I didn’t even read the comments on blogs because I knew people will call me names and insult me but all the same, thank God I did that, I have moved on.
Anywhere you are in the world, please don’t ever give a terrible remark on Nigerian Jollof rice or even dare to say it’s less better than any other country’s, particularly, Ghana’s… Cause Nigerians will come for you! They defend their Jollof better than they defend their projects no kidding!
After receiving replies from Nigerians, I’m sure this Tanzanian will wish to retract her comment on Ghanaian Jollof being better than Nigerian Jollof – she took to Twitter that she has happened to taste both cuisines and opinionated that Ghana’s is better than Nigeria’s.
Nigerians came for her and their replies is just hilarious… See below:
A YouTube video has emerged showing a South African teen’s purported ‘deliverance’ at a Lagos-based church from a rare medical condition that caused her to cry actual tears of blood.
The description of the viral clip published by Emmanuel TV reads:
Shedding tears of real blood, molested by strange creatures in the dream, raped and abused countless times by perverted men, the life of Hope was filled by a devilish form of tragedy from day one.”
In a tearful testimony, Hope recounts how she began bleeding through her eyes, ears and other extremities in her early teenage years after several horrific nightmares involving strange “demonic
creatures”.
“People were running away from me,” she reminisced, “they started calling me a devil’s child.” The ‘condition’ became so severe that Hope was “kicked out of school” and spent most of the time in isolation due to the shame and rumors that spread in its wake.
Several attempts at suicide revealed the deep depression which had engulfed her. Amidst the strange “spiritual attacks” which included menstruating for up to 40 days without ceasing and her hair inexplicably starting to fall off, Hope was also raped on three different occasions.
After exhausting all medical options, Hope and her mother decided to pay a visit to The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) in Lagos, Nigeria, famed for its purported ability to cure a diverse range of ‘spiritual’ ailments.
During the time of prayer in one of T.B. Joshua’s services, Hope said she was ‘delivered’, the video showing the ‘demon’ purportedly behind her bizarre affliction being commanded out and the young girl collapsing to the floor.
A year later, Hope returned to the popular church looking completely transformed and testifying to the remarkable changes in her life.
“Whenever I cry, I look at my tears and say, ‘Thank You, Jesus’,” she told the congregation, attesting to the fact that she had stopped crying blood ever since the prayer she received at The SCOAN.
Few moments after the queen of HipHop took to Twitter to declare her single status, her ex, Meek Mill took to his social media account to shade her.
He subtly shaded her by posting the photos of the shoes she wore in her breakup song “I’m out” with Ciara – he disabled the comment section after he was slammed for being petty… he has since deleted the post.
Nigerian top notch music video director, Clarence Peters, has come out to clear the air on the insinuation that most of the video vixens he engages during his video shoots were sex workers, saying it is wrong for anyone to draw such conclusions.
Speaking in a recent interview with Planet TV on Thursday, he said calling video vixens prostitute should be discouraged by any right thinking person.
He is quoted as saying:
“I have heard people say that the ladies who appear in the videos we shoot are prostitutes. I think that is wrong because these ladies work hard for the money they earn.”
He added that “I can’t speak for others but I can tell you that these girls work very hard to add beauty to the job we do. That they appear the way they do does not mean they are harlots who sleep with people to make money. For crying out loud, dancing is a big deal and you really need to know what they go through on set and they are usually stressed just to make sure the concept is not defeated.”
The award-winning director insisted that some of them earn more than what ladies who work in banks earn in one month.
“As far as I am concerned,these ladies earn better than their mates who work in banks. I was told that those who work in banks earn between N100,000 and N200,000 every month. You don’t want to know how much the ladies charge per shoot”, he said.
This is just so lovely!… Melonie Wright, who shared the her proposal story on Instagram, disclosed that her man, Joshua, made her rings and also earrings for her daughter, Raegan.
While proposing, he first asked Melonie’s daughter if he could be her daddy, then he knelt down before his beau and asked her to marry him.

Four women suspected to be involved in child trafficking in Maiduguri were arraigned before the Borno State High Court by the Borno State Attorney General and Commissioner of Justice, Barr. Kaka Shehu Lawan.
In the photo above is Madam Ngozi, whose real name is Ngozi Nwokochas, the principal accused person. She along with three other women, were alleged to have been engaged in the buying and selling of human, especially babies.
They were arrested at Galadima, Lamisla Ward Maiduguri, where Ngozi is believed to be running a baby factory.
