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.

Follow the conversation thread below… Quite a clever lady…
Yesterday was Daniel Wright’s (the gentleman in the photo above) birthday and to show heartfelt love for him, two ladies took to their social media page to wish their boyfriend, who one called the “key to her heart“, a happy birthday.
The context of their message got people talking as every character meant intimacy between each pair and not just a regular birthday message… perhaps, he has more than one girlfriend and the cat is being let out of the bag? Let’s see…
See their messages below:
Constance
Sandy
As the mystery kept buzzing, the latter girlfriend, Sandy, then deleted her own post which sparked ingenuity and she probably might be a faux…
Constance on the other hand, went on further to prove that she’s the main chick of Daniel, as she shared a screenshot of her relationship status with him since 2013… See below:
The gentleman had even before time, declared his love for Constance in a birthday message for her… Below:
Yeah well… we can safely say Constance is the main chick to Daniel… but for real, who is Sandy to him? She has to be something to him to have written such message to him eh?… Let’s leave that to the figment of our imagination, it’s not kuku our love life… *yimu*.
After months of speculation about their relationship status, the queen of hip-hop, finally took to Twitter to clear the fog and admit that she’s done with the rapper.
Obinna Nshirim, the Imo state Commissioner for Information, Tourism and Public Utilities, has said ”70 percent of Ndigbo do not listen to news, they do not read newspaper.”
He stated this while speaking on the state government owned radio station, Imo Broadcasting Coporation, IBC, Owerri. That he “discovered” this during the yuletide season.
Nshirim also said he also discovered that Hausas are more informed as an Hausa shoemaker has a radio beside him which he listens to just to get informed.
”While others were enjoying their Christmas, I was moving all over the places because it is my duty as information commissioner to know how far I have informed the people”, as well as” to get feed back from them.” In what could be described as a shocking experience,”while going round I discovered to my horror, few things, that our people are not informed. “70 percent of Igbo do not listen to news, they do not read newspaper.” “I keep telling you, we say we are intelligent, we say we are informed but that Hausa boy that cleans your shoe has a radio in his pocket”, he simply put.
A bank customer identified as Raymond Agada has been shot dead by armed robbers around the Swali market area, Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.
It was gathered that the robbers also stole N120,000 from the victim before killing him.
Agada was said to be on his way to deposit the money in an undisclosed commercial bank in Yenagoa when the hoodlums rounded him up and attacked him.
A source, who spoke to the The Nation, said the victim’s sister, a known trader in the market instructed him to pay the money into the account number of her creditors.
“The late Agada has been running similar errands for his sister. He does it on daily basis. His sister receives goods on credit from her customers and after selling them, she pays the money into the account of her customers, most times through her brother.
“It is like persons who attacked him had monitored the transactional process for sometimes. It is a pity”.
It was learnt that the victim was attacked at about 11 am, by a four-man gang shortly after he left the market. He was reportedly shot in the neck by his assailants.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr Asinim Butswat, who confirmed the incident said the deceased was 20-year-old adding that Agada was killed on Tuesday.
He said the police quickly moved to the scene and rushed to the victim to the hospital where he later died.
He, however, said that the police identified the culprits and were making efforts to arrest them. He said:
“On 3rd January 2017, at about 1100hrs, four armed men with a pistol, attacked one Raymond Agada ‘m’ 20 years, of Swali Community, dispossessed him of the sum of #120,000, he was going to deposit in the bank and shot him.
“Policemen were quickly dispatched to the scene and the victim was rushed to the hospital, where he later died.
“The culprits have been identified and efforts have been intensified to arrest them”.
“Revenge Body with Khloe Kardashian” reality TV, Khloe Kardashian herself, reflected on her 2016 rollercoaster as she shared her hopes and dreams for the coming 12 months.
Writing on her app, she wrote:
“At this moment, a few days into 2017, I feel incredibly clear and probably the happiest I’ve been in years. It’s such a great feeling that I have my happy back!
It’s from a genuine place and the most peaceful place I’ve been in for longer than I can even remember … I think when you’re in love you definitely feel happy and healthy too. I like that my relationship is very normal and doesn’t need to be so publicised all the time.”
And the 32-year-old television personality also referred to the “tough s**t” she has gone through in the last few months, including finalising her divorce from Lamar Odom.
She added:
“So much tough s**t has gone down in my family over the past year that I’ve removed myself from social media a bit more and focused on what’s important in my life. That’s not to say 2016 wasn’t a good year for me, because it was, but there was a lot of real s**t that happened too. If I want to be in Ohio and do nothing, then that’s what I’m going to do. Life is too short and too precious to not do what makes YOU feel the happiest. (sic)”
Nigeria’s ‘youngest’ speaker from Katsina State, RT Honourable Aliyu Sabi’u Muduru earlier in the week, celebrated his 34th birthday in grand style at his residence in Katsina State.
A Kenyan woman has been arrested by the police for biting off the ear lobe of her lover’s wife, Grace Washeko, and swallowing a piece of the ear during a fight between the both of them.
Star reports that the unnamed woman from the Voi, attacked her rival during a fight over the man on Tuesday, January 3, 2017, and in the process, bit off Washeko’s ear.
The victim, a mother of one, who is now in a hospital, narrated that the woman who is her husband’s mistress visited her at her workplace and engaged her in a fight over her husband, bit off her ear lobe and swallowed it.
While speaking on the incident, Washeko said:
“She laughed at me saying she had taken my husband away. I got angry and we began fighting. She bit my ear and swallowed the piece.
I don’t know what is wrong with my husband because whenever he comes back, he complains that he is sexually starved and hungry. He acts very abnormally.
His parents have asked him to end the relationship with the 40-year old woman but my 27-year old husband has refused to heed their call,” she said.
The injured woman said she has reported the incident to police and is waiting for the police to get into action and arrest her attacker and bring her to book.

In a bid to wish her followers a happy new year and inspire them, the BBA alumni, took to her IG page to share a video of herself working out.
A follower then in the comment section, apparently, a boutique’s social media account, then commented that they hope the celebrity’s new year resolution is to get a new makeup artiste.
