Dubai luxury shops are feeling the absence of Nigerians who have been kept away from their usual travels to Asia’s shopping capital by a weaker naira and higher airfares, Businessday reports.
Nigerians who typically buy huge volumes of luxury goods are cutting down on their expenses. “Before now, purchases from Nigerians made up about 18% of our market share, but it has dropped to about eight percent this year. .
I tell you the truth, we really miss Nigerians here and we hope things get better so that they can shop again as they used to,” Bilal Chaouch, sales manager, Paul Smith, said. .
“We hope the government in Nigeria will help provide dollars for Nigerians to come and shop here as they use to do. We hope things get better because patronage by Nigerians has been part of our success story,” he added.
Johanna Pascual, sales manager, Accessorize, also said Nigerians often bought accessories in large quantities but there has been a sharp drop this year because only few Nigerians have been visiting recently and those who come do not buy as much as they used to.
“I always believed Nigerians were very rich people because when they came to buy gold, they always bought in large quantities and paid immediately. But that has changed now. We have not sold as much as we sold accessories by this time last year,” Pascual disclosed.
Gilbert, a sales representative of Timex, said he has observed a sharp drop in demand from Nigerians for luxury brands. The Dubai attraction has lost its shine as Nigerians now struggle at the airports to get dollars to travel unlike before when they could easily travel with the cards and shop in over 200 countries around the world.
A security guard, Sipho Hadebe, who has had a large tumour growing on his face for 12 years, was recently sacked from his job because his appearance was beginning to startle customers.
According to MailOnline, 39-year-old Hadebe, has been living with the gradually expanding growth for 12 years. The tumour has now got so large that he struggles to breathe.
Hadebe after running a test in the hospital was told by the doctors that the tumour is putting pressure on his respiratory airway and that within a year he would no longer be able to breathe.
Hadebe’s local hospital had had him on a waiting list, which meant he would have had to wait for seven years before he could have the operation to remove the tumour – the only way he can get his job back. He however, began to raise funds in a desperate attempt to relieve his suffering. Strangers have currently donated more than £2,000, to help him and he is set to undergo a private treatment that experts believe will save his life.
A team of doctors at Lowveld Hospital, in Mpumalanga provice, South Africa, have offered their services to ease the pressure on his lungs. They will perform a seven-hour reconstructive surgery once all of the funds – believed to be around the £3,000, are in place for his rehabilitation.

He pounces on the girl and furiously pins her down by her hair – she can be heard begging the guy, Ekene and apologising, but the beating continues until someone manages to pull the ‘Mike Tyson’ boyfriend off the hapless girl.
The Nollywood movie veteran took to his Instagram to write this interesting letter to his daughter who turns 14 today. He shared the photo alongside the caption:
My baby, my sunshine,
For hero-worshiping me, Thank you.
For loving me wholeheartedly and unconditionally, Thank you. For not understanding why people want to take pictures with me but you let them anyway, Thank you. For sharing me with many others, Thank you.
I look at you and I thank God everyday for gifting you to me, because there is no doubt how special you are.
Daughter dearest, I have only one worry. I worry about the difference between your generation and mine and wonder if I will ever be a good enough parent for you.
Yea, I want to be the cool dad you want me to be, you know the one that would let you have your 14th birthday party at a condo, let you have all your friends to the party. Let you wear whatever you wish to wear and let you stay out till 11pm… Well, darling you have to forgive me because that’s never going to happen. As much as I’d love to be really cool and all, it is way more important to me that you grow up with deep seated values that are, Christian and African, then when you’re old enough you can decide what you want. So for now, as the quintessential African dad and correct Urhobo man, I just have to
Censor your friends.
Create a curfew.
Censor your outfits.
Curtail your access to social media… So no, you still can not have an instagram account this year or even next and just so you know, even a 3.8 gpa would not be good enough to make me change my mind.
You see baby, unlike your generation that thinks it’s cool, my generation looks beyond what’s cool, so I choose what is right and appropriate.
Yea, I understand you think it’s weird and not cool and not fair but hey baby, I just cant help myself because I am just an Urhobo man that sent his daughter to the US and would rather she turn out right than be a cool dad, so again, Thank you for loving me unconditionally and I love you from some place deeper than the bottom of my heart.
Happy 14th birthday my baby dearest, God bless and keep you always.
Daddy
A Kano Magistrates’ Court on Thursday discharged all the five suspects, who allegedly killed a trader, 75 year old Bridget Agbahime in Kano on June 2 over allegations of blasphemy.
The suspects, Dauda Ahmed (principal suspect who led the mod to clobber the 75 year old woman to death), Abdulmumeen Mustafa, Zubairu Abubakar, Abdullahi Abubakar and Musa Abdullahi were slammed with a four-count charge of allegedly inciting disturbance, culpable homicide, joint act and mischief.
Mrs. Agbahime, 74, an Imo indigene, was murdered in Kofar Wambai Market in Kano over alleged blasphemy. The dastardly act sparked national outrage and calls for the perpetrators to be brought to justice, including the first citizens of Nigeria and Kano, President Muhmmadu Buhari and Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano respectively.
The Chief Magistrate, Muhammad Jibril, discharged the five suspects and terminated the case as advised by the attorney-general of Kano State.
Earlier, the Principal State Counsel, Rabiu Yusuf, representing the attorney-general of Kano State, told the court that they received the case diary from the police on June 8.
“Having gone through the case diary, the attorney- general of Kano State evaluated the facts in accordance with Sections 130 and150 of the Criminal Procedure Code, presented the legal advice,” Mr. Yusuf said.
“The legal advice presented to the court, dated June 24, states that there is no case to answer as the suspects are all innocent and orders the court to discharge all the suspects.”
The counsel to the suspects, Abdulsalam Gambo, commended the attorney-general for the judgment in the case. NAN reports that the suspects and their families expressed gratitude to God for the judgment and for their freedom.
Now I’m wishing I lived during these times! This was way back in the days when a meal cost as low as fifty kobo (50k). Meals in Nigerian universities were heavily subsidised by the government, so students, both rich and poor had access to at least one free meal daily.
In addition, the students were also given fruits and vegetables to go with the meal. Balanced diet and all that.
Wow! What ever happened to this nation?! We are not cursed are we?

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has increased the pump price of petrol at its retail outlets by N4 from N141 to N145 per litre.
Though the new N145 price remains within the maximum price cap fixed by the federal government in May, this is the first time fuel at NNPC’s outlets will be sold at that price.
Before now, prices have been hovering between N143 and N141 per litre at NNPC and affiliate stations in major cities and even less at stations in the hinterlands.
Daily Trust reports that prices have been N141 in last few months until Tuesday when it was raised to N145. In Kano and Lagos our correspondents report that the price of fuel has hit N145 per litre at NNPC Mega stations.
Spokesman for the NNPC Garba Deen Muhammad said there was no rule that compels any marketer including the NNPC to sell at a particular price.
“A price regime was introduced between N135 and N145. So, you can sell anywhere within that range. What you are seeing is interplay of market forces.
The media personality has for a while now, been giving hints that she is back in the dating game, and she finally confirmed it at her birthday party yesterday.
An ecstatic Toke wrote on her IG page that her ‘beloved‘ threw her a surprise birthday dinner with friends and colleagues in attendance.
The media personality has been linked with US based Oluseyi Kuye who has gushed about her on several occasions, so he just might be her ‘beloved‘.
The beautiful 16 year old, Meraiah Ekeinde, 2nd daughter of celebrated Nollywood actress, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, doesn’t look her age in this stunning new photos of hers.
But still, one can’t simply unsee the striking resemblance between her and her momma! She looks cute too!
The stunning media personality turned 32 yesterday, November 3rd and she chose the day to release a 3 minute teaser called ‘On Becoming‘ – a project she has been working for the past one year.
She wrote:
When life gives you lemons, make a tall chilled glass of apple juice and leave the world wondering how you did it. ????? A year ago I started working on a project.. it’s been such a long road to get here but today I present to you “On Becoming Visuals” shot by award Winning film director @kemiadetiba
The clip gives reference to the media stir that erupted after her marriage with Maje Ayida crashed and shattered in less than a year. We see and hear press clippings addressing the unfortunate incident at the background of the visuals.
She wrote on the YouTube clip:
“Hi guys.. it’s my Birthday today, apart from the fact that I am a big birthday girl; I love celebrating my birthdays, this year I have so much to celebrate. I started working on Project “On Becoming” a year ago and before I let you all in on the Big reveal, I would like to share with you, On Becoming Visuals. It was directed by award winning Director Kemi Adetiba.”
Okay, so according to this Facebook user, Collins Okello, some young adults in Kenya go to a secret temple in Westland Nairobi, where they sleep in coffins for evil money.
So the woman above has has fulfilled a 14-year dream of holding her own funeral, while still alive – Vera Lucia da Silva, 44, arranged to carry out her bizarre wish to lie in a coffin all day while family and friends pretended she was dead.
And she said it was ‘the best day of her life‘.
The extraordinary ceremony, which was held on the Day of the Dead celebration in South America on Wednesday, November 2, took place at a funeral home in Camocim, a seaside resort in north east Brazil.
While her friends and family were against the idea, they dressed in black and visited throughout the day in a show of support. The owner of the Eternal Garden Funeral home, Paulo Araujo, donated the coffin and the space free to Vera, as a gesture of good will.
In a video filmed on the day, Vera can be seen having her make-up done and enjoying the moment. She messes around opening and closing her eyes causing her friends to scream with horror and laughter as she pretends to be dead one moment and alive in the next.
The married housewife, who doesn’t have children, explained ‘celebrating’ her own funeral was an ‘old dream’ that she never thought would come true. But she was determined to do it before she passed away.
Nigerian business tycoon, Folorunsho Alakija, has said going to the university was not her destiny as she was able to achieve her dreams without a degree.
Alakija, one of the richest black women in the world, said this on Thursday at the Excellence in Leadership program, an annual event organised by Daystar Christian Centre, Ikeja, Lagos.
The founder of Rose of Sharon motivated the audience by saying that she never allowed a lack of university education to suppress her dreams and ambition.
“If I had the opportunity of going to the university, maybe I would have come out with a second class upper or lower but that didn’t happen; that wasn’t to be my destiny,” she said.
I would have loved to go to the university as we all know that university education is good but some of us who have not gone, it is not the end of the world.”
Alakija said she was able to attain her present position because she was determined and ready to pay the price that came with all the challenges she’s had to surmount.
“Having put my foot in the door, I decided I was not going to turn back”, she noted, revealing that when she had to file a lawsuit against the federal government for taking 50 out of her 60 percent equity, she remained determined.
The case which took 12 years to reach a conclusion was a matter of determination, she said. Alakija said she her person has been subjected to series of misconceptions due to the ignorance of people who don’t know her story.
The oil magnate noted that she is a product of hard work, sweat, tears, and tenacity, stressing that she’s not an overnight success.
“A lot of things have been said about me, some say I sold my way to the top; I remember that the headline of one of the national dailies in the country once said ‘Hairdresser given an oil block’. So I even became a hairdresser, one of the many names I was given.”
She encouraged participants at the conference to believe in themselves as it would be easier for others to believe in such people; she added that she believed in herself while moving from fashion designing to an unfamiliar terrain.
A witness, named Mr. Richard Ihediwa, in the ongoing trial of former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Olisah Metuh, said on Thursday that the N400m Metuh got was disbursed as directed by ex-President Goodluck Jonathan.
Ihediwa, led in evidence by the counsel to Metuh, Mr. Emeka Etiaba (SAN), told the Abuja High Court that Jonathan gave the directive on how the amount was to be spent, NAN reports.
He said that N21m was paid to former PDP Chairman, Chief Tony Anenih, for a property acquired for use by the party as its media intervention centre.
He added that although the property, located in Asokoro area of Abuja, did not belong to Anenih, he assisted the PDP media team headed by the accused in securing it.
He said:
“The amount covered the cost of hiring the structure, utility vehicles as well as security gadgets at the centre.”
The witness also told the court that various sums were paid to some groups coordinated by some government functionaries, including the late Oronto Douglas and Abbah Dabo.
He said he was not very certain about the amount released to late Douglas, but added that N25m was released to Dabo as mobilisation fee for advocacy groups, in line with the directive.
Ihediwa said the former president also approved different amounts for some other groups and Metuh disbursed the funds to them accordingly.
He said because of the tension and high level of insecurity across the six geo-political regions of the country then, there was the need for government to mobilise various advocacy groups to stabilise the system.
Meanwhile, Justice Okon Abang has reserved ruling for November 15 on applications filed by the defence counsel.
A Facebook user, Kingsley Anayo Ojimadu, shared that his brother Joseph died as a result of an alleged police reckless driving in Delta State, on October 6th, 2016.

“I’m in serious pain. My heart is heavy. I don’t know a day like this will come. My lovely younger brother died in a ghastly motor accident yesterday caused by police reckless driving, Kwale division precisely, by Ibusa/Asaba express road.
The painful part of it all is that some policemen who came to the scene only rescued their men living my brother to die in the burning vehicle. Chinedu Joseph Ojimadu, so your bros will not see you again? Uwa!
My kid brother Joseph Chinedu Ojimadu was laid to rest two days ago, being on the 29th of October, 2016. He died in a ghastly motor accident caused by reckless driving of Kwale divissional police, along Ibusa/Warri express way on the 6th of October.

So we’re wondering if the rumours could be true as the rapper shared this photo of himself and the pop singer together – this comes few months after he ended his relationship with pop star, Rihanna.
Well, the two of them have not had the best relationships in their past, so if they are really dating, could this relationship be any different from the others?
President Muhammadu Buhari has rejected the criticism that his handling of the economy led the country into a recession.
Speaking at the State House,in Abuja during a meeting with the Senior Executive Course No 38 of the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies, (NIPSS), he said that it was not his administration that led the country into recession.
The president said: “In the last one and half years of this administration, the economy has experienced some tough times, particularly with the decline in oil revenues, which has some harsh impacts on Nigerians at the grassroots.
“It is also important to note that the economic recession is not the making of this administration, but rather a consequence of bad management of the economy in the past couple of decades. Nor is recession limited to Nigeria; there are far, far worse cases than Nigeria.”
The president, however, said that no matter the scale of the problem facing the country, the important thing was how to tackle it.
He said his administration was committed to finding lasting solutions to the nation’s economic structural imbalance.
“Let us have faith in our great nation that we will come out of this recession vibrant and strong,” he added.
The president said it was impossible for his administration to ignore the poor who made great sacrifice to bring him to government.
He said: “Ours more than any other government in the history of Nigeria is a people’s government. We therefore must and we will keep faith with the people.”
President Muhammadu Buhari says he will keep faith with the oath of office he swore, and treat all Nigerians equitably.
Receiving the Executive Committee Members of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) from 19 Northern States and Abuja, at State House, Thursday, the President equally pledged to restore peace to all parts of the country, noting: “Restoring peace is a top priority.
We will enable the law enforcement agencies to combat all forms of violent crimes, and ensure that our people live in peace.”
President Buhari urged the clerics to promote religious harmony, by “enhancing understanding among different faiths.”
He also disclosed that the government would maintain the priority it has placed on agriculture and mines and steel development, “to kick-start the economy.”
The Chairman of CAN in the 19 Northern States and Abuja, Rev. Yakubu Pam, said it was not a mistake that God chose President Buhari to lead the country at these challenging times.
“We are ready to support your administration to deliver good governance. You have good intentions for Nigeria, judging from the programs that have been outlined,” Rev. Pam said.
He also highlighted ethnoreligious challenges in the country, freedom of worship, and herdsmen/farmers’ clashes in their discussion with the President.
The CAN leader commended the Buhari administration for the blow dealt Boko Haram insurgents, “leading to comparative peace in the North-east,” the return of 21 abducted schoolgirls from Chibok, and the anti-corruption war, which he urged “should be fought to the logical conclusion.”
Amber Rose is taking this her “i’m proud to be a hoe” thing too far. Yesterday she posted this image of a burglar breaking into a house and receiving or.al sex from his victim.
She captioned the pic “when hoe is life, collectingDNA”.
Some of her fans find the pic distasteful and offensive. What do you think – joke gone too far or nah?
We all as individuals love cold stuffs especially after a sunny hectic day, we need some cold drinks or water to refresh and cool our body. This includes even me that’s writing this to you all lol; But we need to know this and how to minimize the rate at which we take in cold drinks regularly.
According to Natural Law, our normal body temperature is about 98.6 degrees F. If we raise that temperature a few degrees, the body starts to show signs of distress, and we say we have a fever. We try hard to return to homeostasis or normal functioning.
Experts have said drinking cold water regularly could have negative impact on the heart and the digestive system. Food and healthy living expert say that cold water is at a temperature that contradicts the overall temperature within the body system.
Even though cold drinks or water has many health benefits, drinking ice water or cold water can only give temporary relief and drinking ice water regularly has its downside.
Here are some reasons why you shouldn’t drink ice or cold water:
1. Slows down digestion: Drinking ice water or cold water hampers the process of digesting food as it causes your blood vessels to shrink. This can slow down the process of digestion and as the food is not digested properly, the nutrients are lost or not absorbed by the body.
2. May lead to sore throat: Drinking cold water can cause the buildup of respiratory mucosa, which is a protective layer of the respiratory tract. When this layer gets congested, the respiratory tract is exposed and becomes vulnerable to various infections and hence the chances of your throat turning sore are high.
3. Shortage of nutrients: The body’s temperature is 37o C and when you drink something at a very low temperature, your body has to spend energy to regulate its temperature. This spent energy is otherwise used to digest food and absorb nutrients, thereby leaving your body short of nutrition.
4. Decreases your heart rate: Drinking ice water or cold water decreases your heart rate. Studies have shown that drinking ice water stimulates the vagus nerve.
The vagus nerve is the 10th cranial nerve and is an important part of the body’s autonomous nervous system that controls involuntary actions of the body. The vagus nerve mediates the lowering of the heart rate and the low temperatures of ice cold water act as a stimulus to the nerve which causes the heart rate to drop.
In conclusion, take water at a normal temperature, the brain is sensitive to temperature change which is why it freezes when one drinks cold water at first, adding that such continuous seizure is not good for it, more so that is why we advise people not to take drugs with cold water.
The drugs will not digest on time; it means you won’t get the best of the drugs because the water did not dissolve on time.
If you’d like to make your diet healthier by adding more vegetables to your meals, cucumbers are a great choice. Cucumbers are widely used in traditional diets as well as spas across the world for a reason: They are good for health.
It would be recalled that in the last two weeks, some Nigerian ladies and women have shied away from purchasing Cucumbers since the usage by Chidinma Okeke and a ‘lover’ for s*xual acts which before then has been rampant on the down-low.
In this post, cucumbers are said to have the following benefits: potential anti diabetic, antioxidant activity, cleansing action of toxins and waste, soothing effect against skin irritation, and prevention of constipation. And here are 10 health benefits of cucumbers in more details.
1. Help you stay hydrated
Cucumbers are 95.2 percent water, which means that a 5-ounce serving contains 4.8 ounces or 150 ml water. That’s already about 26 percent of your daily water intake through food.
2. Support heart health
Cucumbers contain potassium (152mg per cup), which can help lower blood pressure. A review of the best studies conducted on potassium intake showed that a higher intake “is associated with lower rates of stroke and might also reduce the risk of total cardiovascular disease.”
As less than 2 percent of U.S. adults consume the recommended 4,700 mg potassium per day, eating cucumbers is an easy way to start increasing your potassium consumption.
Binta Diamond Diallo wants you to stop calling her Wizkid’s baby mama. The Guinean vixen has been posting a series of cryptic quotes on her IG page all week – and this seems to be the icing on the cake.
Wizzy welcomed a son with Binta in January 2016. And although he’s never publicly acknowledged the child, Binta keeps flaunting him on social media – even naming him after his father Ayodeji Balogun Jnr.
A Zimbabwean woman has revealed details about her sexual prowess and claimed the boyfriend thinks she used love portion to tie him down.
Talent Taderera, 22, said she is very good in bed that is why the boyfriend cannot get enough of her and keeps cheating on the wife. This came to light after Talent accused the boyfriend of leaking her n*de photos.
She said because she is a master in s*x so her on-off boyfriend Anesu Gondo, 26, can not let her go. Gondo is a former Dynamos striker now plying his trade in South Africa. She also claimed the footie ace suspected her of using love potions to drive him crazy, H-metro reports.
“He has been telling people in my neighbourhood as well as my relatives that I use love potions on him but that is not true. There is nothing mysterious about how he feels. The only reason I am sure he cannot take me out of his life is because our s*x life was great.
“I am good in bed and he cannot have enough of me which could be the reason why he is so confused the way he is,” said Talent.
As a result of her sexual abilities, Talent revealed that Anesu would always demand n*de pictures from her as he wanted to see her in her birthday suit frequently.
“The juju claims he is making are not true at all because the truth of the matter is he still finds me so attractive. Many times he has asked me if I could send him n*de pictures and I have been sending them to him in trust that he would keep them private.
“Now what bothers me is that he has been leaking the pictures to people in our neighbouhood just because I have made up my mind that I no longer want him. He even sent me messages threatening to make the pictures go viral and he is doing all this to fix me so that I don’t get another man in my life,” she said.
Speaking on the challenges they faced in their relationship Talent said;
“When I first started going out with him in 2014, he had lied to me that he was single. We broke up after I found out the truth. He kept coming back and I agreed to be his girlfriend even though he had a wife. Our relationship was not smooth because he is very violent, we broke up several times after he had assaulted me but still he would come back to me asking for forgiveness.”
However, Talent’s boyfriend Anesu has reacted and insisted Talent is using juju on him.
“My life is in the hands of this woman, she used juju on me and I cannot resist her. I no longer want her in my life but I would be lying if I say I no longer love her. The reason I have decided to publicize this issue is because I want to expose the juju she uses on me. I am confident that the way I feel towards her in influenced by juju because it has been confirmed by different prophets whom I have gone to consult,” he said.
Anesu went on to reveal that even though they were currently on separation they were always meeting regularly for s*x.
“I am so surprised by my actions because I always find myself going back to her. I am sure she can even confirm what I am saying. I have caught her cheating many times but in all those incidences, I am the one who ends up asking her forgiveness. We still had s*x even though we were no longer together. I will be going back to South Africa soon so yesterday we were actually planning on spending quality time before I leave,” he said.
Anesu continued: “My marriage life was seriously affected ever since I started having an affair with Talent. On Tuesday I was arrested after I assaulted my wife for insulting Talent over the phone. I am not the one who leaked the n*de pictures that Talent is accusing me of leaking, they were leaked by my wife after she found them in my phone.”
Also, Anesu’s wife during an interview confirmed her husband’s claims that Talent uses love potions. “There is no joy in my marriage because of this woman, my husband cannot leave her and we face a lot of challenges because of that. Last night we ended up fighting because of her and it really pains me a lot,” she said.
There are a lot of advantages to enjoying a good night sleep. You feel better, more productive and research even says you are much more likely to have a happier life if you sleep well.
You should know that this is not just about the duration of your sleep, it also has to do with the quality. With that in mind, here are 13 common things that are ruining your sleep.
1. Using smartphones or other screens before bed
Several studies have suggested that using electronic devices like e-readers and smartphones, or even watching television in or before bed can disrupt sleep.
Avoid any light-emitting technology for at least one hour before bedtime.

It’s totally natural for you to spill your guts to your girlfriends about what’s going on in your relationship — hell, it’s practically a right of passage at brunch or book club — but that doesn’t mean you should share everything.
There are a few things that relationship experts deem worthy of staying between you and your S.O. Find out what they are, and no matter how much you want to bond with your BFFs, keep your mouth shut.
1. When you’re going through a sex slump.
Let’s set the scene: You and your guy haven’t had sex in a few months. You’re not sure why, so in a fit of frustration you tell your coupled-up friend. Her response? “Oh, don’t worry, we haven’t either. It’s been four months.”
While that may give you a huge sigh of relief, Irina Firstein, a couples therapist in New York City, says it’s not very helpful. “This kind of comment normalizes a problem that needs to be addressed,” she explains. “Your friend is trying to help, but she’s probably not because she’s untrained in sex therapy and can’t usually give constructive feedback.”
Plus, whether she admits it or not, Firstein says it’s likely she’s lying. “Your sex life is actually really private, and many people tend to not be completely honest about theirs in an effort to relate to the person they’re having the conversation with,” she explains. In the end, her comments can make you feel worse (or better) about your problems, which is ultimately not helpful.
So, if you’re having problems in the bedroom, first try bringing it up with your partner. If you can’t get to the root of the issue together though, consider talking with a sex therapist who can not only help you figure out why there’s a lack of intimacy but also give you ideas to spice things up in the bedroom.
