Yesterday, a Facebook user, Author Blessed Inegbedion shared a photo of Mercy Johnson’s husband, Prince Okojie clearing the hospital bills of a man who has been in the hospital for 3 months.
According to him, the patient had been in the hospital for three months before Prince came around to offset the bill which is about N325, 000 (three hundred and twenty five thousand).
Read what he wrote below:
”What kind of man is this? His philanthropy gesture has no end, my God you sent a man in form of a messiah to reawakened the hope of the hopeless just the same way you scattered the proud and give grace to the humble.
”This family has been in hospital after thoroughly been administered treatment and certified to be discharged but money kept them in bed for another three(3) months but today God sent Prince Odi Okojie to set this family free. I am particularly touched because not all will accept a bill of 325, 000(three hundred and twenty five thousand) God bless Prince Odi Okojie. #TEAMODIOKOJIE”
Jessica Beer, a 19-year-old female student of Dyege Memorial College, Akpehe, Makurdi, Benue State, on Wednesday committed suicide after her boyfriend, identified simply as Labi, impregnated another girl and subsequently dumped her.
A close friend of the victim, who did not want her name mentioned, told Punch correspondent that Beer killed herself because she loved Labi and could not accept that she had been jilted.
The friend further said her late friend believed that after impregnating another girl, her future plans with Labi was in jeopardy.
The source said when she went to Beer’s residence, she met the victim on the floor, vomiting blood.
She said, “My friend had brought a sharp knife the day before the incident to my house. She said I should follow her to her boyfriend’s house, threatening to deal with him. But I advised her not to take the law into her own hands.
“When I went to see her the next day, I met Jessica (Beer) on the floor, vomiting blood and I quickly raised the alarm.”
Punch Metro gathered that the victim was rushed to a private hospital, Yiman Hospital, in the area, where doctors certified her dead.
When Punch correspondent visited the victim’s school, many of her classmates were seen crying, while some teachers in the school discussed the incident.
One of the victim’s classmates told Punch correspondent in tears that she was shocked that Beer would “intentionally kill herself because of a man.”
Another classmate said, “I was told that the boyfriend (Labi) is a cultist and an armed robber, who had refused to further his education. Why should my friend commit suicide over such a person? I can never do such a thing.”
The proprietress of the school, Mrs. Mercy Dyege, told our correspondent that she was surprised when the news of the suicide was broken to her.
According to Dyege, the news of Jessica suicide filtered into the school while the students were on the assembly ground.
She described the action of the student as barbaric and ungodly, saying she always advised students to focus on their studies and devote their time to God rather than engaging in carnal issues.
Dyege said, ‘’My teachers always pray with the students and teach them the words of God, especially the female students. I also told the girls that when they put their minds on their studies and complete their education, men will look for them. This kind of incident has never occurred in my school and I condemn this behaviour in strong terms.”
One of Beer’s teachers, Mr. Timothy Tyoyange, described her as an average student, who was ready to learn from both teachers and her fellow students.
Tyoyange said, “Jessica (Beer) was a beautiful young lady and in our last prize giving and graduation day, she contested for Miss Dyege, organised by the college, and won the crown. So, she killed herself at a time she was about to fulfill her dream in life. May her soul rest in peace’’.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Moses Yamu, confirmed the incident.
“Investigation has commenced. I advise other students to desist from such acts,” he added.
A Nigerian guy Bayo, has shared pictures of himself dressed as a female.
Bayo seems to be following the footsteps of Nigerian gay man, Bobbrisky, who dresses like a female and flaunts his gay lifestyle openly.
He has, however, denied being gay. In an Instagram post, Bayo, said he was simply trying to be himself in a world that was trying to make him someone else.
“Something else is the greatest accomplishment…. (AmHotterDanYaGyalDem) ok bye! I can’t apologise for the person I choose to be….. I watch friends take a walk and doors bang shut in my face cause I am not the certain “fixed” being people expect me to be,” he wrote.
These days, it seems to me that people are coy about absolutely everything.
Don’t get me wrong, I understand the appeal of maintaining an air of mystery. Still, sometimes you just have to square your shoulders and call a spade a spade.
I think this is especially true when it comes to information on leading a healthy lifestyle.
Health, even at it’s very best, can be kind of messy and gross. That’s why it’s so important to have these frank conversations from time to time.
Whether you’re touching on why it’s healthier to sleep in the nude, or assessing the shape and consistency of your, um, BMs, it’s all valuable information.
Today’s topic? Flatulence. Farting. Passing gas. No matter how you put it, it doesn’t get any prettier, but it can have a dramatic influence on your health.
Scroll through the gallery below to learn about a few of the stunning health benefits of letting one rip. Culled From LitteThings.com
Gas 101
First and foremost, passing gas is a totally natural bodily function.
It’s a necessary and normal part of digesting food; as your stomach and intestines break down chow for nutrients, a certain amount of gas is the inevitable by-product, according to WebMD.
Absolutely everybody in the whole world has to do it for their digestive health; it would be much more worrisome if you didn’t fart.

Benefit #1: It Reduces Bloating
If you’re feeling bloated after a big meal, unreleased gas may be one of the culprits at work.
For most people, bloating is a feeling of bodily swelling and temporary weight gain that isn’t dangerous, but might make those new jeans fit a little tighter.
Some of it is caused by water retention, where your cells hang onto extra water for one reason or another, but that feeling of fullness and discomfort in your belly?
That’s gas, waiting to escape. Letting it fly will instantly reduce your bloating and discomfort.

Most men enjoy sex from the first time and with no fails ever. Of course, there might be ups and downs, but it’s hard for them to believe that for women it’s different.
And the fact is that getting into bed with a man most women are usually ready to at least one of these three scenarios:
– The experience will be pretty bad or short;
– She will not finish;
– She will feel self-conscious.
Finding out about it most men feel sort of bad, and not only personally, but also as a collective representation of all guys that have been doing something wrong seems like forever. If they knew better, they would probably do it. So let’s see what women think about the ways of making it better on the male side.
100 women, ages 19 to 50, were surveyed to get the representative information about what makes a man great in bed. The women were given a list of 15 actions that men can do and asked to rank all of them. At the end they were asked to add some other actions that may have not been included into the survey.
Here are the results. So men, please note it and remember it!
1. Engage in foreplay
Almost 86% of women say that foreplay is really important while many men prefer to just skip this step. Making out, licking woman’s boobs, fingering – that is a good beginning that can lead to a great result.
Use your imagination and try different body parts. Go for the neck, fingers or forehead.
90% of women say that it’s somehow important or very important for them. Do you really want to keep skipping it?
Yvonne Nelson has revealed that her mother would be much happier if she took more selfies and posted them on her social media pages.
Although this seems a bit weird – since people do not normally specifically require their children to indulge more in the act of selfie taking – fans seemed to be quite happy with the selfie the actress posted.
Yvonne captioned the photo saying: “My mum just called me to complain that I hardly post selfies… Mama, there you go.”
The actress who is obviously very close to her mum recently revealed that she was brought up by a single parent and did not want to have such an experience with her own family.

The very controversial Ghanaian Counselor has come again.
“Cheating is reserved for the married so a moment that comes in your life that your spouse cheats, see it as part of the package.” Counselor George Lutterodt has disclosed.
The Popular Ghanaian radio and television relationship counselor Reverend George Lutterodt has stated that married couples ought to accept infidelity and divorce as components of marriage.
Speaking to Serwaa Akoto on Efisem on Kasapa 102.5FM Saturday, Counselor Lutterodt opined that there are no tips to identify a cheating spouse.
According to him, spouses who read through their partner’s messages on their phones indicates that such couples are not qualified to marry each other since their insecurity gives room for marriage break up.
Words cannot describe the immense joy a mother feels anytime she looks at her children, especially when they are making her proud and doing well in their respective fields.
A young lady took to her Twitter handle, to post the heart melting gift her 11-year-old sister gave her mother when she noticed her mother was troubled.
She posted the picture with the caption: “This hit me real hard. My mum was going through something and my 11-year-old sister wrote this to her.”
The letter reads: “Mummy sorry just remember God is with you. It seems the issue is money. Take this N1000. Remember that I am still your best friend and I am sorry that it is only N1000 I can give you but don’t worry when I grow up, I will buy you a car and big house.”
Wondering how this mother felt when she received this letter and money from her daughter.
A popular and notorious child trafficker, Abigail Nwakama, a.k.a ‘Madam Cash’ has finally been arrested by the police in Delta State for operating a kidnapping ring. It was revealed that her kidnapping syndicate abducted children before selling them into slavery.
She was arrested with other people who are also part of the child trafficking syndicate. It was gathered that Nwakama specializes in stealing babies and selling the kids to buyers.
According to reports, Nwakama stole a one-year-old girl, identified as Fatimah Yahaya, from her mother after paying her mother N3,000. She then sold the young girl to a popular radio preacher and founder of Gospel Fire Army Ministry, Nkwele-Ogidi, Anambra State, Chinedu Strongson, for N400,000.
Based on an alarm raised after little Fatimah was abducted, the commissioner said detectives swung into action and arrested one Onyinye Nwakama, daughter of Madam Cash, at a drinking bar in Asaba.
Also arrested was Ifeoma Anyadike, (32) at Okpanam before they led detectives to Ogidi where the pastor was arrested.
The State Police Commissioner, Zana Ibrahim, confirmed that 12 stolen children were rescued from the pastor, after he allegedly paid N400,000 for each child sold to him.
There are lots of beautiful women in the world. It is normal for one to run into these beautiful creatures from time to time.
Some men who are lovers of women know the zones to go to if they are looking for beautiful women. This means that there are certain regions in the world that are filled with beautiful and curvy women that many will tag exotic.
In truth, some women dwell on their beauty, they are willing to do nothing in as much as they know their beauty remain a selling point.
Some women are not only beautiful, they are graceful and classy. Such women are said to be made for kings and influential people who will treat them like queens. But the world has gone past the era where women are made to stay back home and see to domestic affairs.
Women are starting to speak up and do things for themselves; some of them are entrepreneurs who turn heads and shake the sectors of the economy at the same time. Beauty queens do not want to stay in their palaces anymore; some of them are taking on major projects that will change their lives forever.
This is because they know beauty will not last forever. They want to do things that will leave a lasting impact in the lives of the people they come across daily. This epistle will make us examine Lexx Jones who is no doubt the sexiest woman in the US army. This military officer is no doubt beautiful and curvy.
You do not want to mess with an officer like this. The last place people will check if they are looking for beautiful women in the society is in the force.
This is because there is misconception about the women found there; normally, people think women found in forces like that are filled with scars. Lexx Jones is a hot booty model that will make you drool all day. She is arguably the hottest and sexiest woman in the US army.
She took her time to post some pictures on her Instagram page. Find below some pictures of the beautiful military officer:
1. Beautiful
She is a military officer that has gone through series of training after all. She is not the regular woman you know.

Authorities of the University of Ilorin, Kwara State on Sunday said that they had accepted the voluntary withdrawal of a student, Jephtaph Abolarin, from the institution.
Abolarin, a 300-Level Sociology student, had written to the university confessing to cheating during his West African Senior School Certificate Examination.
Abolarin, who claimed he had become a ‘born again’ Christian, said continuing his university education, using an unmerited certificate was unjust and immoral.
He wrote the letter to the institution’s Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Academics, Prof. Sidiqat Ijaiya, on August 5, 2016.
According to him, he wanted to withdraw from the school because he got his WASSCE through examination malpractice.
Reacting to the letter on Sunday, the university Deputy Director, Corporate Affairs, Mr. Kunle Akogun, confirmed the withdrawal of the student.
Akogun, who noted that the Senate of the university had accepted the withdrawal letter, added that the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Abdulganiyu Ambali, commended Abolarin for his repentance and sincerity.
The VC, Akogun added, wished Abolarin well in his future endeavour.
Part of Abolarin’s letter to the DVC read,
“Just as a house that was built on a faulty foundation will surely collapse, it is also certain that a career that is built on a faulty foundation will definitely collapse. All through my secondary school days, I was just a church ‘goer’, without genuine salvation and the fear of God. As a result, I got my WASSCE result through examination malpractice.
“By the grace of God, now, I have encountered the light of the gospel of Jesus Christ, which called for repentance and restitution.
“Sir, with deep conviction, I have realised that there is no point building my academic career on a faulty foundation; since the WASSCE result I got through malpractice is the basis in which my admission into this university was anchored.
“Therefore, I have decided to withdraw from the university and start all over again.”
A class four teacher in Atlanta, USA, is facing criticism for wearing form-fitting attire to work.
Patrice ‘Tricey’ Brown, a paraprofessional for Atlanta Public Schools, posted several pictures of herself to her now-private Instagram account.
The pictures immediately sparked outrage with many complaining that her dresses were not suitable for teaching.
“She’s curvy (great figure) but her clothing is not appropriate for her profession,” one online commenter said.
“I think she’s beautiful and has a great body, however, I don’t think wearing clothing as tight as sausage casing is appropriate in a school atmosphere…..out of school, fine,” another said.
Others, however, defended Brown with the argument that any cloth she wore would cling to her because she was curvy.
“I support #teacherbae not cause she fine but what she was wearing was appropriate, she just has curves, you need relax if you’re mad,” one person tweeted.
Another wrote: “Black women w/ curvy bodies are immediately judged and sexualized for something they have no control over.”
Reacting to the controversy, Brown said she preferred that people focused on the knowledge she was imparting to kids rather than on her attire.
“I just wish they would respect me and focus on the positive and what truly matters, which is educating the children of the future generations and providing and caring for them,” she told the Daily Dot.
A 20-year old University student whose father collected a whooping sum of N1.5 million from a suitor as bride-price without her consent has threatened to depreciate her body with massive sex.
This distraught lady who has fallen victim of the antics of her selfish father has threatened to pay her husband back with a high rate of immorality and infidelity.
Beautiful Zahra Buhari yesterday took to her Twitter account to inquire from her followers what matters to them most in which she emphasized on honesty.
Zahra who seems oblivious of the economic squeeze in the land which has inflicted hunger on the masses never bargained for a painful response from one of her followers named Arike Martins.
Arike boldly voiced out her frustration about the All Progressives Congress-led government spearheaded by her father.
According to Arike, she can’t technically wait till the year 2019 to see Mr. Buhari booted out of office through a democratic process.
See a screenshot of the hilarious short drama below:
Two Vietnamese students were hospitalised after they used a plastic bag as protection during their first sex act with each other.
According to Mirror, the unnamed college students suffered genital lesions, abrasions and bleeding after using the crude contraceptive.
Confirming the incident, the deputy director of Hanoi Kidney Hospital, Dr Nguyen The Luong, said that the male was too shy to buy proper condoms from a store.
To improvise, they resorted to using a plastic bag. Sadly, plastic bags have no elasticity and lubrication, and this was what caused vaginal scratching and tearing. Luong added that the students have been placed on antibiotics to help them recover.
Meanwhile, it was noted in an independent study conducted by the Medical University of Hanoi and Hanoi Medical College on 2,700 Vietnamese students from six universities in Hanoi, that only 16% of students surveyed claimed they have had sex.
A third of that percentage use condoms, while around 25% found buying protection very embarrassing.
Classic comedian and actor, Koffi has slammed Nigerian music acts, Kiss Daniel for arrogance, throws shade at Burna Boy, fired shots at D’Prince and so many others in this hilarious open letter he published on his website.
It’s quite lengthy… but it’s hilarious… Read:
First artiste to ever have a number 1 and number 2 video on the MTV Base countdown for weeks. First new artiste to ever drop an album without any major industry collabo. First artiste to blow up within a short period of time yet like Burna Boy hardly headlines any major shows, why?
Let it be known that Mr ‘Jombo’ truly did not come into the music scene to ‘woju’, he proved his mettle ‘Laye’, and has been having a ‘Good time’ with his ‘Mama’ from ‘Sin City’. This express ride might be short lived however if our favourite fine boy does not cut the double face act.
The fans see a sweet young man on the tube but behind the works the G worldwide king’s manager is killing the brand. A facade of humility is sold to the public, but the arrogance beneath is as hot as magma flowing from an expired volcano. Hot but soon becomes ash or turns solid stones that go nowhere when it cools off. I don’t know how these Actistes suddenly get the airs of “I too mush” and throw caution to the winds.
They surround themselves with sycophants. Milking maids in the name of managers. How can a young man see such breakthrough in life and gradually poke posterity in the eye. Laying bad tracks along your career path that you won’t be able to thread upon on your way back. Right now we all know that like Mr M chairman I, King Tuface (2Baba) is barely churning out any hit songs but humbility has got them going even if their concert wowo small. Here you are an advanced ‘Photocopy’ version of 9ice and you ain’t picking points from what happened to your original progenitor despite his huge success(only Naija nigga to play at Mandela’s birthday) .
Album is a few weeks away and the management of an artiste turns down major interviews, over bills clients for gigs and would rather arrogantly stay home on each of those days and loose mileage, connect and some rabar. Go and ask D’banj if he would dare make such a mistake again in his life.
This write up is not to attack the Lion but to let the people around him know that if care is not taken a wounded dog like Chuddy K, W4, Ice Prince, Ikechukwu, D’Prince (who is no longer here)………will be better than a dead Durella. Wake up my dear dream interpreter let God not judge you wrong. Shaddout to humblesmith too for not coming anything close to his name whilst a veteran like Ras kimono is turning up at every show killing it and staying on fleek.
Oritsefemi be careful, it was not a publicity stunt, you and Danku got whipped due to his dumb managerial ability, retrace your steps before the ‘Mercies of the Lord’ abandon you finally. I don talk my own but as usual my mouth dey smell, make I run go back studio go tidy up recording on my #CollaboraShunz album, all of una dey craze with the yeye social media frenzy wey dey make una loose common sense.
Wait till African china koboko flog you na dat time your eye go clear maybe you sef go become video director like Banky or just dey nowhere like J.Martins wey Alhaji Tekno dey use hin style dey humbly take collect mula. 1! #IDGAF @koffithaguru aka Casper aka Beast is Nigeria’s most versatile comedian, actor, singer, producer, orator, righter! . #TheComicTruthByKoffi is not personal.
So what you’re about to read is the shocking story of how a jealous lady brutally murdered her ex boyfriend’s new girlfriend – the most shocking part of the whole episode is that the lady openly plotted the murder on Twitter, but no one took her threats seriously because they all thought her words were the rants of a pained ex.
Read the murderous ex’s online ranting that preceded the cold blooded murder of mother of one, Kendra.
The murderer had posted this tweet before she killed Kendra:

Dr. Babatunde Ipaye, Ogun State Commissioner for Health has said over 60 million Nigerians have various degrees of mental disorder. He said about 80 per cent of people move about with one mental disorder without knowing or seeking help, while 20-25 per cent live with a full blown mental disorder in the country.
He said cases of mental challenges range from simple minor mood disorder to extreme cases of mental accreditation and added that one, out of every five Nigerian, has an extreme mental disorder.
The commissioner said events that could trigger minor mood disorder that finally leads to extreme mental illness are marital pressure, educational and economic pressure.
Dr. Ipaye said other pressures are expectation and disappointment and advocated that community mental homes should be created across the country to socially managed mental disorder at the grassroots level.
The commissioner said people should always go for regular psychotherapy checkup with no cost implication to manage cases of mental challenges before it gets out of hands.
Corroborating Ipaye, a medical consultant at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Dr. Olumuyiwa Odunsote said the figure of 60 million is just one third of the entire Nigerian population and going by the international standards and international definition of mental disorder, the figure is likely to be true.
“In Africa, the end stage of mental illness is when the person has gone out of control, which is what is seen as madness. But, internationally, somebody who is still under control can be diagnosed with some level of mental disorder.
Why this can be true is because a lot of people are depressed, a lot of people undergo severe stress and are highly frustrated in the country. Some of these people, in a bid to handle problems, take to drugs, alcohol and exhibit extreme behaviours.”
Burkina Faso is not here for any unnecessary display of bums as the government have banned an annual beauty contest for women with the biggest buttocks, saying such events are sexist.
The ban came after adverts for the third edition of ‘Miss Bim-Bim’, which shows two fully clothed women with exaggeratedly large behinds, provoked an outcry on social media.
Minister Laure Zongo, a woman, said in a statement,
“Our role is to do everything to avoid damaging the image of women,” adding that social media criticism had persuaded her to act.
Meanwhile, the male organizer of the event, Hamado Doambahe, said it aimed to promote a more positive body image for African women and encourage fashion designers to use African costumes.
Women’s rights groups have mixed views about the tendency in many African cultures to celebrate women with larger bodies than are typically admired elsewhere.
While they welcome the shift away from the unnaturally thin female shapes promoted by the global fashion industry, they deplore the emphasis on men judging women’s body shapes.
The head of Burkina Faso’s High Council for Communications, Nathalie Some, called in a statement for people in advertising, the media and the arts to protect the rights of women and girls.
Following the reports of the former first lady claiming that the EFCC trailing money in her account is for her medical bills, Nigerians have come for her motion.
Reacting with total shock, some tweeps took to Twitter to show their concern over the situation, with some being sarcastic about it and others disappointed.
An Italian businessman who thought his young model wife had been kidnapped was left heartbroken after finding out the shocking truth on Instagram.
Gianluca Cervara contacted police fearing former Miss Ukraine Anna Zaiachkivska had been snatched.
But he soon found social media photos of his new bride posing with another man in five-star hotels hashtagged with the word ‘freedom’ just months after marrying.
The devastated billionaire is now suing Zaiachkivska for breaking their prenuptial agreement and allegedly stealing £5,000 and a mobile phone from his home, Mirror reports.
He wrote in a comment on the social media pictures:
“Your Husband in Milan And Parents say thank You for Be in New York with address Of
another Man.Wooooow Married escape without Tell And with fake address in NewYork!!”
But Zaiachkivska claims she fled because her husband “raised his hands” against her and that she was sick of living in a “golden cage”.
The 24-year-old was also furious after Cervara did not pay her enough attention when she had “headaches for a week”
The model said:
“The first time when he did it I ran away to my parents’ house in the western Ukrainian city of Ivano-Frankivsk. I did not tell them what the matter was.
“He came to get me, and I gave him a second chance, but during an argument he spat in my face, and I simply could not take it.”
Furious Cervara hit back telling reporters that his wife is working as a model in New York and she is “not the person she is pretending to be”.
The businessman said: “She has lots of pretty photos taken in five-star hotels, she is posing with other men. She does not look unhappy at all.”
Nigerian Port Harcourt born singer, Duncan Mighty, is quite lucky in this recession season – the singer just shared that he received a call this morning which has lead to his testimony you’re about to read.

Dame Patience Jonathan, the wife of former President Goodluck Jonathan, has said she was using her $15m, which was frozen in four companies’ accounts, to settle medical bills while she was out of the country.
She, therefore, urged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and Skye Bank to lift the restriction on the accounts.
Patience said this in a letter with reference number GA/Abibo/00226/2016, written by her lawyers, Granville Abibo (SAN) and Co, which was addressed to the Acting Chairman of the EFCC, Mr. Ibrahim Magu.
The PUNCH had reported that the four accounts belonged to the following companies: Pluto Property and Investment Company Limited, Seagate Property Development and Investment Company Limited, Trans Ocean Property and Investment Company Limited and Globus Integrated Service Limited.
A houseboy, a driver and other domestic workers of a former Special Adviser on Domestic Affairs to Jonathan, Waripamowei Dudafa, were named as directors, but Patience’s $15m was lodged in the accounts and she was given a platinum card and exclusive access to the accounts.
The letter read in part,
“It is noteworthy to emphasise that the said accounts, which were in US dollar denomination, were card-based accounts and our client is the sole signatory to these accounts.
“However, our client has been operating the said accounts using the cards for her medical bill payments and purchases for her private purposes without any let or hindrance.
“Our client was therefore surprised when the said cards stop functioning on July 7, 2016, or thereabout. Our client immediately, thereupon, contacted Skye Bank Plc through our solicitors.
‘‘It was only then that the bank officials informed our client that the said accounts were placed on a ‘No Debit Order’ following investigations and instruction from your commission and this is without notice to our client by either the bank or the commission.
“It is in the light of the foregoing that we urge you to use your good offices to vacate the ‘No Debit/Freezing Order’ placed on the said accounts.”
Patience, who described herself as a law-abiding citizen, said despite all the explanations she offered to the Lagos Zonal Office of the EFCC, the detectives in charge refused to heed her request.
She, therefore, urged Magu to intervene immediately.
She added:
“Despite the foregoing, our client, who is a law-abiding citizen, has watched with surprise how efforts are being made surreptitiously to indirectly harass or harangue her and short-change her of her personal funds in breach of her fundamental human rights.
“We urge you sir, to kindly intervene to stop the untoward and wrongful actions of your officials to embarrass, inconvenience and short-change our client.”
However, a detective in the EFCC said,
“We got a relevant court order to freeze those accounts and we have evidence which we will present in court on Friday.
“We did not know that the accounts belonged to Patience Jonathan at the time we froze them. The accounts do not bear her name neither do they carry her BVN (Bank Verification Number). So, how can she accuse us of harassment?
“She has a separate account in Skye Bank with the title ‘Patience Jonathan’, which has a balance of $5m. If she claims she needs money for medical treatment, then the $5m should be alright.”
In a thanksgiving service held at the State House chapel in Abuja on February 18, 2013, Patience had said she underwent seven surgical operations within one month in Germany, adding that the doctors had given up hope on her survival.
She had stated,
“I remember when Chief Obasanjo was the President of the country, I was close to his late wife, Stella. We worshiped together in this chapel. It was a painful moment for me that time when she (Stella) died and her corpse was brought here.
“That was how my corpse would have been brought here.
‘‘It was not an easy experience for me. I actually died, I passed out for more than a week. My intestine and tummy were opened.
“I am not Lazarus but my experience was similar to his. My doctors said all hope was lost.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has said the Federal Government, under President Muhammadu Buhari, is not persecuting Jonathan and his wife, Patience.
Speaking in an interview with journalists in Oro, Kwara State, on Tuesday, Mohammed said it would be wrong to submit that the Federal Government was probing Jonathan or Patience.
He said:
“If you look at the history of Mrs. Patience Jonathan’s issue, I think she was the one that came out to claim that the money found in the accounts of one of the aides to the former President, her husband, belonged to her.
“It was not the EFCC that claimed so. She claimed that the money that the guy was being prosecuted for belonged to her. It was only then they later found an extra $5m in another account.
“It is not as if anybody has gone out to probe Mrs. Jonathan directly or indirectly. Rather Mrs. Jonathan was the one that said ‘that money for which you are accusing Mr. X actually belongs to me. So, you cannot start talking of prosecution or persecution.”
The minister said the Federal Government was concerned about the current national economic recession and had initiated measures to address it.
He stated that the current campaign of the Federal Government, ‘‘Change begins with me,’’ was not only for the people but also for the leaders.
Mohammed also said it was incorrect to accuse Buhari’s government of being partisan, selective and vindictive in its anti-corruption war.
He said Buhari would also not spare any APC member accused or guilty of corruption.
Current first of the United States, Michelle Obama, on Tuesday, co-hosted the Ellen DeGeneres show and she there, revealed what she and her daughters will miss most about life in the White House.
During the show, the first Lady is quoted as saying:
“It’s really the people, “Think about it: The girls have grown up in the White House. I mean, the staff that’s there – we see them every day. These are people who have helped us raise our kids. They’ve loved us. They’ve taken care of us. The minute we leave, that’s it.” “I’m sure the girls will have a tough time,They think they’re ready, but when you’ve grown up in a place … I mean, imagine: They won’t be able to knock on a door and say, ‘Can I see my room?’ That’s not gonna happen.”
“We’re trying to have them step back and really appreciate the walk on the South Lawn, sitting on the Truman Balcony. I mean, we just want to keep creating some memories for them as well.”

The Lagos State police command have arrested a 26-year-old undergraduate, Ademola Adebayo, for allegedly defrauding seven ladies he met on Facebook.
Adebayo, a 400-Level student of Computer Science, allegedly lured the ladies by uploading some rich pictures on Facebook, and asking his victims to meet him at a location, usually a hotel on the pretext that he had deals for them, Punch reports.
It was gathered that when the ladies showed up at the agreed location, the suspect would dispose them of their phones and other valuables.
The police alleged that Adebayo worked with an accomplice, 35-year-old Toheeb Fetuga, who had also been arrested. It was learnt that the suspect was arrested by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Ikeja, where one of the victims reported the matter.
Adebayo said that he had defrauded seven ladies of their valuables.
He said:
“One of the ladies I defrauded was Rita. She came to a hotel in the Oyingbo area. We had met on Facebook and I agreed to do a deal with her. She was a woman willing to have a sexual affair with me for money.
“I invited her to the hotel and asked how much she would take. She said $1,000, and I said it was okay. I collected her phone. I asked her to come for the money at a hotel in the Victoria Island area. So, she believed me and left.
“I checked the contacts on her phone and that was where I got the contacts of other ladies I defrauded. I was trying to lure another friend of hers when I was arrested. I have done it to seven ladies. I usually meet the young women on Facebook, and it is either I add them or they add me.
“I usually uploaded rich pictures on Facebook, which attracted them to me. Fetuga was the one I usually gave the valuables to sell. He sold each of the phones for N6,000.”
Fetuga, on the other hand, said although Adebayo brought the phones to him, the undergraduate lied to him that the owners were badly in need of money.
He said:
“He came to me that he wanted to sell the phones. When I asked him where he got the phones from, he said some ladies in his school were in need of money to complete their projects and examinations.
“He had come about seven times and I gave him about N6,000 for each of the phones. We usually met at different places. He would call and say we should transact business.”
The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, said investigations were ongoing into the matter.

“I was absolutely fuming – I wanted to kill him. “Everyone at work saw it and were laughing their heads off. Not only did he put me up for sale but he used such a bad photo.
