President Muhamamdu Buhari on Thursday assured Nigerians that despite the various current challenges facing the country, Nigeria will be great again under his watch.
Buhari gave the assurance while speaking with Muslim leaders in Osun State shortly after joining them in Zuhr prayer held inside the Government House after he inaugurated the N1.35bn Osogbo Government High School.
The President led the prayers and he was joined by the Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola; Oyo State Governor, Abiola Ajimobi; Borno State Governor, Kashim Shettima; and the Minister of Communications, Wahab Shittu, among others.
He urged the Muslim clerics to continue their intense prayers for the country, saying things would be better.
He reiterated his commitment to ensuring safety of lives and property in the country.
“I thank you for your prayers for the nation. God will help us to secure Nigeria and efficiently manage it. Please continue to pray for us. I can assure you that Nigeria will be great again,” the President said.
A study published in the journal Medicinal Chemistry Communications has revealed that the smell of flatulence has secret health benefits and could help stave off cancer, strokes, heart attacks and dementia,
According to TheCable News, Scientists in the journal, revealed that passing gas may help you live longer and in a suprise twist, smelling the gas might prevent dementia.
Hydrogen sulfide is one of a number of potent smelly gases produced by bacteria as it breaks down food in the gut. It is toxic in large doses but in tiny amounts it helps protect cells and fight illness, according to researchers at Exeter University.
When cells become stressed by disease they try to draw in enzymes to generate their own minute quantities of hydrogen sulfide. The chemical helps to preserve mitochondria, which drive energy production in blood vessel cells and regulate inflammation, and without it the cell can switch off and die.
Mirror UK reported that Professor Matt Whiteman from University of Exeter’s medical school said: “When cells become stressed by disease, they draw in enzymes to generate minute quantities of hydrogen sulfide.
“This keeps the mitochondria ticking over and allows cells to live. If this doesn’t happen, the cells die and lose the ability to regulate survival and control inflammation.
“We have exploited this natural process by making a compound, called AP39, which slowly delivers very small amounts of this gas specifically to the mitochondria.
“Our results indicate that if stressed cells are treated with AP39, mitochondria are protected and cells stay alive.”
Before it can be tested on humans, researchers have run disease models to see how effective AP39 is, and early results show that it can help up to 80 percent more mitochondria survive highly destructive conditions such as cardiovascular disease.
Fellow researcher Dr. Mark Wood added: “Although hydrogen sulfide is well known as a pungent, foul-smelling gas in rotten eggs and flatulence, it is naturally produced in the body and could in fact be a healthcare hero with significant implications for future therapies for a variety of diseases.”
New single mum and actress, Bimbo Thomas is sure enjoying her post-natal days.
For one known to be a plus-size, it is surprising to see Bimbo Thomas flaunting a trim look in some of the new pictures she has been posting. It’s obvious she is working on her body.
Also enjoying every bit of her maternity leave, Bimbo, who had her baby in the USA in August, is still abroad and seems to have started appearing in social radar.
Dressed beautifully in a floor-length gown, she was sighted at the last edition of the AHBEA awards 2016 which held in Houston Texas last week.
Bimbo, whose fans now refer to her as mummy Jayden, posted:
“Motherhood my pride……. Such a beautiful thing to be called #mummysomebody stepped out earlier today with m’little man and we bumped into couple of pple and none of them called me by my name or my stage names all I could hear was #mumsyjayden #mummyAjadi #sweetmamatobilola #flawlessme #mummytohhawt and it feels so sweet so I’m using ds medium as a point of contact to God for every woman looking up to God for ds kinda joy may the Lord answer ur prayers and behold ur own flesh ijn.” (sic)
Star actress Funke Akindele, 39, and music producer and singer Abdul Rasheed Bello, also 39, kept their Wednesday, August 24, 2016, wedding (staged in London, the United Kingdom) very private and secret to give the union a big chance of survival.
Since the marriage is Akindele’s second and the first for Bello who has four children from three relationships, keeping their affair away from the public and organizing a low key nuptials would afford the liaison a better chance of survival, insiders who spoke to Encomium.ng revealed.
“The couple (better known as Jenifa and Skillz) kept their families dully informed about their relationship. They have practically done the introduction ceremony, and what happened yesterday in London was a formalization of the union”, a source close to them told us. “It is untrue that they kept their families out of the ceremony yesterday. Funke’s parents and her siblings were aware. Skillz children and some family members also attended the event.”
One insider disclosed to Encomium.ng, “lf you have been the subject of gossip, experienced a loud separation from your marriage and faced the backlash from all sorts of people, you will understand why they decided to go to London. Don’t forget that Skillz was based in London, he only relocated to Nigeria a few years ago. His family is there, his home is there.”
Another source volunteered, “There is no way they would have succeeded as much with a quieter wedding in Lagos. One way or another, the secret would have been leaked.
“Based on their circumstances and experiences , what they did yesterday was the best. Many people thought Funke and ABDUL went for a short holiday in London. That at best , her 39th birthday would be staged there. And they were pleasantly surprised when the news of a wedding took wings.”
At the ceremony yesterday , none of Funke Akindele’s siblings (Olubunmi, Papa and Mama) and her parents attended. But one of Bello’s children was visibly active.
Ikorodu, Lagos born Olufunke Ayotunde Akindele is the second of four children. Her mother is a doctor and father retired school principal.
She studied Mass Communication and later Law, but veered into acting. Becoming popular with the television series, I Need to Know, her Omo Ghetto and Jenifa catapulted her into mega fame .
JJC Skillz (ABDUL Rasheed Bello), born in Kano on April 4, 1977, moved to London in 1991, where his foray into music with JJC and the 419 Squad turned into a cult figure. He is a respected rapper and producer, said to be multi-talented .
Those close to the couple say they suit each other.
JJC, who hails from Kano State, has been married before. He was married to his first wife, the mother of his first child in 1995. They both have a daughter, Tamira Bello born in 1996.
The woman, who has always lived in the UK, has remarried.
JJC also has two other children from two other women.
Thought I’ve not watched Jenifa’s Diary..But I must confess, Funke Akindele is a Fantastic Actress!
But a Facebook user, Femi Owolabi says otherwise…He feels Funke Akindele is overrated and a failed attempt at Comedy.
Hepoured his heart yesterday in a post. According to him, he doesn’t find the much loved Jenifa’s Diary produced by Funke Akindele, funny at all.
He wrote
“My sisters would always tell me to see Funke Akindele’s Jennifer’s Diary, that it’s the best thing that has happened after ewa agoyin. And so, I tried seeing a few episodes tonight and really, it’s just a failed attempt at comedy, yes, for me. But, people whom were with me laughed, laughed and got so entertained by the drama.
Biko, am I the only one who thinks Funke Akindele is one overrated comedian?”
Of course, some fans of Funke Akindele reacted and he had to post this other message, moments ago.
“Yesterday, I put up a soft criticism of Funke Akindele’s Jenifa’s Diary, dismissing the work as a failed attempt at comedy, and the post attracted more insults than it could handle.
I didn’t say I hate Funke. I didn’t say Funke is not an inspiration in the industry. I only expressed an opinion which, if you like, could pass as a critical evaluation of the art that is Jenifa’s Diary.
Instead of some persons to counter the post with logical arguments, they jumped on the post with insults and some other nonsense.
One wrote, “give her constructive suggestions instead of killing her effort.” Wow!
Another wrote, “the lady is making millions while haters are hating.” Ehn ehn?
Another wrote, “you hypocrites will applaud the likes of Mr Beans and downgrade your own sister… go and sit at Ikoyi cemetery and watch your best comedy.” Like seriously?
Another wrote, “create your own and let’s assess you on it.” Laughable!
“if you think Jenifa’s Diary is a failed attempt at comedy, then I think you need help.” O boi, I have suffered!
One said, “what has this post achieved? We Nigerians are our own worst enemy.” Ha!
One simply wrote, “Mr I.T.K (I too know)” Sigh.
He continued:
You see, some people went to school and, sadly, didn’t broaden their intellection. The post isn’t an attack on Funke’s person or works, it’s simply a critical opinion of a literary critic, and you people come here to spit nonsense?
Get some education.
Here are a few types of comedy that I have studied; Romantic Comedy, Comedy of Humours, Satirical Comedy, Comedy of Manners, Sentimental Comedy, Farce, and Black Comedy.
Seeing a few episodes of Jenifa’s Diary, I used these aforementioned ‘techniques’ to evaluate the work and it failed, for me.
Same with AY’s 30 Days in Atlanta, where I argued that AY wasn’t a suitable actor for the Akpors role– imagine a Warri-just-come who couldn’t speak the language properly. The same were used to adjudge Femi Adebayo’s Jelili which, for me, is a perfect work of comedy.
Funke Akindele is a fantastic actress but, for me, her recent work, Jenifa’s Diary, is a failed attempt at comedy.
Good evening.”
He took most Nigerians by surprise when he paid the country a visit about two days ago and met with entrepreneurs and local developers – the Facebook CEO, as he did when arriving the country, has done the same thing as he, this afternoon landed quietly in Nairobi, Kenya.
He shared this via his official page fem moments ago:
“Just landed in Nairobi! I’m here to meet with entrepreneurs and developers, and to learn about mobile money — where Kenya is the world leader.
I’m starting at a place called iHub, where entrepreneurs can build and prototype their ideas. Two of the engineers I met — Fausto and Mark — designed a system to help people use mobile payments to buy small amounts of cooking gas, which is a lot safer and better for the environment than charcoal or kerosene. It’s inspiring to see how engineers here are using mobile money to build businesses and help their community.”
Can you tell why it’s trending? I’m not quite sure though … Cause all I see is a random man on his knees proposing to his bride-to-be… It’s nothing special… It’s not new either or why else is it trending?!
Well, for some “particular reasons” this photo of this man proposing to his girlfriend has been trending on Social media for a while and we were wondering if you could tell what reason(s) it is…
You can’t be conversant with Nigerian social media and not have heard of Okuneye Idris, the self-proclaimed ‘Male Barbie Doll‘ who is also known as “Bobrisky” … the king of skin bleaching or “whitening” as he refers to it, who had his birthday yesterday, was offered quite a birthday present from a Nigerian who obviously has zero Chills.
Bobrisky was caught and arrested at a bar in Surulere, Lagos when a bar patron attempted fondle him, but instead of breasts, sachet pure water fell out of his chest. He was subsequently arrested and paraded.
He confessed he was into the business of dressing like a woman in order to deceive men into parting with their money.
See below for more photos and the full article.
“I dress like a lady to deceive men, says arrested teenager”
“A look at this lady will never give her away for a man. From her breast and well shaped figure, to her steps , she looks every inch like a lady. But the bubble burst after she was discovered to be a man.
19-year-old Ogunleye Idris, is one of the numerous young men who pose as ladies out there , in order to get money from their men folk. Idris who just finished his secondary school education at Kings college Lagos, last year, was apprehended in a bar in Surulere area of Lagos, Sunday, where he had as usual, dressed like a man, waiting for a prey.By sheer stroke of luck, a man (names withheld) reportedly walked into the bar in the company of two other ladies. But he was said to have been attracted to Idris who gave him an inviting look. But Idris attitude was said to have raised the man’s suspicion, when he attempted to fondle with his breast.
Out of curiosity, the man reportedly managed to touch Idris’ breast, where to his surprise, a sachet water fell off from the brazier.
This caused an uproar, following which Idris was subsequently arrested. In this interview with crime Alert, the Ogun state born disclosed that he began the illicit business this month, with a view of raising money to further his education.
Hear him,
“ I went into it in order to raise money for my education. After my secondary school education, my father told me he could not afford money for me to buy JAMB form.
Again there was nobody to help me because I am a man. I realized that men do not help their fellow men but women. Then, I decided to start dressing like a lady to deceive men and get money from them but I do not sleep with them. Whenever it gets to that stage, I stylishly excuse myself”
Asked how he usually collected money from men, he revealed that he would dial any number and if the owner happened to be a man, he would invite him over, posing as a club girl.
His preys according to him, sometimes fell into his trap while others disregarded him.
Continuing, Idris said,
“So far, I have realised N20,000, out of which I used to buy part time form in University of Lagos and a JAMB form”
Asked if his parents are aware of what he was into, he shook his head, explaining that he never paraded himself like a lady around his vicinity in Isolo.
On how he usually got himself dressed, he explained,
“ First, I would get a female dress and place two sachets of water on my breast, to make me look like a female and then, I will wear female shoes. I cat-walk like women because I always watch them walk and have been practicing the way they walk until I started this year. I had contemplated quitting at the end of next month,”, he said.
Earlier this morning, Ese Walter Ark, wife of Cool FM OAP, Benny Ark who was exposed of her sexual affair with COZA pastor, Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo in Abuja years back has said she married her husband just to shut people’s mouth up.
She claimed that she didn’t love him when they got married about three years ago and had issues trusting him so many months after marriage.
She says she has gotten some help and is currently dealing with all the issues. She shared the photo above and wrote;
“When I agreed to marry him two and a half years ago, I didn’t love him. Heck I didn’t love my own self. I just needed a change of story. I needed to stop being the girl everyone called an evil mistress and “graduate” to somebody’s Mrs. I thought the Mrs title was going to save my ass and bring me some sort of redemption. I was wrong.
Calling what happened next a disaster is putting it mildly. Weeks into living together brought out the worse in both of us. I thought I made a mistake. I didn’t trust him so why was I married to him. We would argue over everything and I convinced myself I wanted out despite the baby on the way. In therapy I was able to face my own demons for the first time. I realised it was never about him or the other guys I dated. I was always looking for a fix outside of myself. I was always needing someone to take away the pain and save my lonely self. I was looking for what I wasn’t because I thought that could heal me.
Months of living outside my comfort zone and going where the pain was brought me face to face with my demons that saved me. I didn’t trust him because I didn’t trust me. I couldn’t love him because I had no love to give. I was always blaming him because it was easier to project than take responsibility. As I started to evolve and see my own self, I was able to see him for the first time. As I started loving myself, I was able to love him and now as I learn to trust myself, I am trusting him, one day at a time. As I lay beside him last night I remembered a quote I read sometime ago. I don’t remember who said it but it read, “when you love the one you got, the one you got becomes the one you love.” When I stopped trying to change him and let him be, I was able to give room for his own evolving. He ain’t perfect. Who wants perfect anyways? I am learning that all is as it should be in the Universe, there are no mistakes only feedback. The Universe brought the one I needed for my evolving and I am thankful. GRATITUDE is my dominant feeling this morning. If you are struggling with the one you love, know that the world’s standard of love is fucked up. Vibrate higher and love because of love.
So, here’s the thing..Remember The Photo that caused a rekindled frenzy between Basketmouth, Bovi and Freeze? (See Above)..Well we just found out Freeze actually cropped out himself and Basketmouth’s wife from an original Photo.
We now thought Freeze and Elsie actually dated a while back! Smh.
Daniel and I had a very good laugh after we saw this! And we’re still laughing! It’s no longer a wonder why the OAP deleted the photo moments after he shared it days ago.
Thanks to Basketmouth‘s wife, Elsie who gave the diplomatic photo of the one Daddy Freeze shared to reply Bovi’s subtle shade days ago – according to Elsie, the photo was taken way back in 2008 at the dedication of her first son with Basketmouth, Jason.
From Right: Freeze, Basketmouth’s Wife Elsie and Freeze’s Ex-wife
She captioned the photo:
TBT….Jason’s dedication 2008…Miss the good ol’days with you Opeyemi.#thankYouLordForBringingMeThisFar
What do we call Freeze now though? Only good thing is that he got his job back… Lol
Following the reports of the singer slammed for playing the piano in panties in an Instagram video she shared hours ago, the singer took to her page moments ago to refute the reports saying she played in a bum short not panties.
The singer has since deleted both the video of her playing the piano and the one she claimed it wasn’t panties she was putting on while playing, but we were lucky to have it before she deleted it – this has us wondering why she deleted it… What does she have to lose since she’s proved it? #Skeptical.
Reports have it that talented Nigeria’s striker, Dickson Nwakaeme just took delivery of a brand new white Range Rover for his wife, Geraldine Nwakaeme.
The exotic car is said to be the replica of the one he got for himself few months back.
The Benue State Command of the Department of State Services in affiliation with the State Security Council yesterday, paraded 11 arrested kidnappers and child traffickers.
The suspects were alleged to be specialists in stealing and selling children across the country. The DSS also paraded the victims: Emmanuel Abedi, Favor Oleka, James Adanu and Joseph Aboje who had been in the hold of the kidnappers and traffickers for a while.
Speaking to journalists shortly after he was paraded, Adejo Ogiri alias Okala, confirmed that he had kidnapped four children and handed them over to Ezekiel, a bus driver from Imo State.
Adejo said, “Each time I kidnapped children from any part of the state, I usually took them to Ezekiel who in turn, would hand them over to his wife, Amarachi, who specialised in receiving stolen children for the purposes I don’t know.” ‘’I was paid N1m naira for kidnapping little Miracle Jacob. But it led to the bursting of the syndicate.”
At the venue of the parade at the Benue People’s House Makurdi, Governor Samuel Ortom said Ogiri, alias Okala, was the kingpin. Others paraded were, Affonne Nwokocha from Umuahia South Local Government Area of Abia State who facilitated the buying and selling of children.
A 39-year-old pastor, Andrew Ndubisi, yesterday approached an Igando Customary Court, Lagos, to dissolve his four-yearold marriage over sex and food starvation.
He said:
“My wife (Saraphina) starves me of food and sex. She always gives excuses whenever I want to make love to her. Despite all my pleading, she will not allow me; my body is not a stone or iron rod.
“Apart from sex, she also denies me food; she is a poor cook and hardly cooks. Whenever she does, is either the food is too salty or watery. “If I complain, she will take the food and dispose of it and she will never apologise; I used to buy food to eat or go hungry.”
The petitioner, according to the NAN, also accused his wife of infidelity.
He said:
“My wife is having an affair. Last February 1, I called my wife with a new SIM I just bought. “Unknown to her, she never knew who was calling; she said is it because my wife was around that I refused call or visit her. It was then that I knew that my wife was having an affair.
“I refused to respond. I waited for her to do the talking; she started calling me sweet names and told me how much she loves me. “She insisted I should say something; I later revealed myself to her and she was shocked. Before I got home, she has packed out with our three-year-old daughter.
“When she did not return for days, I reported at the police station; I also went to the radio and television stations including a newspaper, to place announcement of a missing person.” Saraphina, a 31-year-old businesswoman, welcomed the divorce. The petitioner, however, denied all the allegations against her.

His Wife, Ibiere has reacted to reports making rounds in the media about her husband’s current health status.
Julius survived a brain surgery last year, and was hospitalized in London last weekend from stress of organizing his annual comedy show, Crack ya Ribs, which he was unfortunately, unable to attend.
In an Instagram post shared today, his wife confirmed that her husband was indeed admitted to the hospital due to stress-related issues.
She wrote:
“THANK YOU ALL!!! On behalf of my husband Julius Agwu, my children Zahra and Zadok and the entire Reel Laif Entertainment family, I say a big THANK YOU to all that have wished us well; prayed for us and shown concern during the past 96 hours. We thank God for his faithfulness and his restoration power.
Let me also use this medium to diffuse the fears created by some media outlets that had good intentions but used old pictures from Julius’ May 2015 craniotomy, and many people mistook it for his current situation. The pictures displayed on social media in the past 72 hours are old pictures and do not correctly represent his current situation.
Julius was admitted due to stress-related issues that necessitated proper rest and rehabilitation. As many of you may already know, he had several shows lined up in the UK during the Nothing hill Carnivals. By the grace of GOD Julius is doing well and receiving adequate care.
As you continue to keep him in your prayers, it is our sincere prayer that God will do for you what no man do! Ephesians 6v8.
Tanzanian top notch singer, Diamond Platnumz‘s baby mama, is pregnant with his 2nd child – this is her 2nd child for the singer but the 5th for her as she’s had three kids from a previous marriage.
Zarinah Hassan had the singer’s first child, who was named after Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, Latifah Dangote in August last year – at the time, fans were skeptical of the singer being the father of the child because of the history of Zarinah, this caused them to have a DNA test in South Africa that year and it was proved that the singer was the biological father.
They’re having yet another baby together now and all we can do is congratulate them!
So first off, News platform, CNN, in a tweet, reported that Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, visited “Sub Saharan Africa”, a title so many Nigerian tweeps didn’t find appeasing as they slammed the platform to be more precise when reporting – “Nigeria” not “Sub Saharan Africa”.
Well, Hollywood actor, Tyrese, in a a new IG post, did the same thing by saying the Facebook CEO popped into “Africa”… Why don’t they understand that Africa is not a country?!
This also, didn’t please Nigerians as even actress, Chioma Akpotha took to the comment section to tell the actor that it’s Nigeria, not Africa! See below:
It was reported that a young lady identified as Cynthia, was recently picked up by an Alhaji and after they had fun he took he to his guest house, gave her $2000 (840, 000) to suck and sleep with his monkey.
MaDailyGist further revealed that, Cynthia refused the offer at first but later agreed after taking another look at the money.
The Alhaji later dropped her and few hours later, she started complaining of stomach ache and sources revealed that, maggots started coming out of her private parts.
Cynthia was later rushed to the hospital by her friends but she died before they could attend to her.
A lot of people in Lagos have been waiting and wondering when the annular eclipse will hold after the NASRDA reported weeks ago that the occurrence will happen between the hours of 7’O’Clock and 10’O’Clock this morning… I don’t think any Lagosian saw anything.
But this user from Port Harcourt seems to have seen the occurrence in the eastern state as he shared photos for proof! See another below:
Giant mobile Telecommunication network MTN, has reportedly put on hold, the contracts of some of their celebrity ambassadors – according to LIB, their reason for doing so may be because of the 300bn fine levied against them by the Nigerian government.
Below is how LIB shared the news:
“MTN Nigeria has suspended the ambassadorship of many of their ambassadors. Minus their regional ambassadors, Project Fame ambassadors including Iyanya, Praiz and Chidinma, and other ambassadors like Falz, Skales, Tekno and Nkem Owoh, everyone else has been suspended.
MTN told them that they had no roles for them at the moment and didn’t want to renew their contracts immediately. So right now, everything is pending.
Their reason? It may not be unconnected with the fact that the giant telecommunication company is paying over three hundred billion Naira fine to the Nigerian Govt for not disconnecting subscribers when they were supposed to.”
General Overseer, Tongue of Fire Restoration Ministry, Chukwuma Nkwocha, is now in the custody of police in Lagos for allegedly camping about 30 young girls as sex slaves.
The 38-year-old Nkwocha, whose church is located at Sogunle area of Lagos metropolis, was accused of sleeping with the young girls, whose ages range from 10 to 15 years.
The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Dolapo Badmos, confirmed the arrest of the GO. The PPRO said the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Fatai Owoseni, had ordered investigation into the case. She said: “The command rescued about 30 young girls from the pastor’s custody.
Two of them acknowledged he had canal knowledge of them. However, investigation is ongoing.” Nkwocha, according to investigation, was addressing the congregation on Tuesday evening when policemen from Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) stormed the church. The GO stopped the service when the policemen introduced themselves.
They whisked away the pastor and the girls.
When our correspondent visited the church yesterday, some members of the church looked dejected. They, however, denied that the pastor was sleeping with the girls.
The GO’s younger brother, Mr. Ikechukwu Nkwocha, said he was surprised when someone from the church called him on the phone that the pastor had been arrested for rape.
He said: “We don’t live in the same house; I cannot speak on what I don’t know. It is only God Almighty that knows everything that transpired between my brother and the girls.
“He is such a nice person. When some of the girls come to the church and complain of accommodation, he always comes to their aid by providing them an apartment in his house.
“The pastor is my blood brother. It was God who called him. Even as part of his efforts to alleviate the suffering of some of his church members, he is paying their school fees.
“He also registered some of them for the General Certificate Examination (GCE) and the West Africa Examination Council (WAEC)-conducted Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE).
He is only assisting them; why should they pay him back in this form?” Ikechukwu alleged that one of the girls, who the GO chased out, wrote a petition to the police. He added: “It was the petition which led to the arrest of my brother.
The girl was brought to the church by a member after complaining of accommodation problem to that person. After a while, she started misbehaving in the church; that was why my brother sent her away.”
Ikechukwu also said that the policemen had searched Nkwocha’s house and no incriminating thing was found in his apartment. He said: “I believe it was because she was sent away from the house that made her to write the petition against the man of God.”
A resident, who did not want her name in print, alleged that the pastor used the opportunity of providing the girls accommodation to rape them.
She said: “Bobble burst when one of the girls, Evelyn, who was chased away by the pastor for resisting his advances, reported the matter to the police.
“What we normally observe in the community is that, whenever there is a programme in the church, even on Sundays, girls are usually brought to the church in different commercial buses.”
Another resident, Mr. Taoreed Ajao, said they were tired of the “unruly behaviour” of the pastor in the area. He said: “Whenever they have their vigil in the church, they always increase the volume of their loud speakers which is affecting every resident.
Hardly would a day pass that they would not have a programme in the church. Government should come to our rescue and regulate the activities of the church.”

Studies have shown that sex plays a major role in relationships failure to which leads to frustration, depression and even lowers self-esteem.
However, not many have a clue on whether they are satisfying their partners.
Your partner may have mentioned a few times on their preference and probably never told you on your bedroom performance.
You should know whether you are a guru in the bedroom or just a boring sexual partner.
Here are some indicators for you, if you are horrible in bed.
1. Just Lying There
Yes! you cannot just lie there like a log, get up and think you are helping much. Get up and take charge once in awhile, let your partner have it easy sometimes when you do everything just to pleasure him/her.
It takes two to make an intimate moment pleasurable.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has raised the alarm over the activities of some online fraudsters, who are currently running an online investment scheme tagged ‘MMM Federal Republic of Nigeria’.
The fraudsters, according to SEC, carry out their illegitimate business via Nigeria. portal/platform, and are promising investors a monthly investment return of 30 per cent.
SEC said the venture had no tangible business model, describing it as a Ponzi scheme, where returns would be paid from other people’s invested funds.

SEC on its website, said, “The attention of SEC, Nigeria has been drawn to the activities of an online investment scheme tagged ‘MMM Federal Republic of Nigeria (nigeria.). The platform has embarked on an aggressive online media campaign to lure the investing public to participate in what it called ‘mutual aid financial network’ with a monthly investment return of 30 per cent.
“The commission hereby notifies the investing public that the operation of this investment scheme has no tangible business model hence it’s a Ponzi Scheme, where returns are paid from other people’s invested sum. Also, its operation is not registered by the Commission.”
SEC, therefore, advised the general public to distance themselves from the online scheme, adding, “Please note that anyone that subscribes to this illegal activity does so at their own risk.”
In a related development, SEC said its attention had been drawn to the activities of one Mrs. Oge C. Ottiwu of No. 118 Zink Avenue, Opposite Eke Market, Awka, Anambra State, allegedly engaging in capital market activities without any registration within Anambra State and its environs.
“Section 38(1) of the Investments and Securities Act, 2007 requires any person who intends to operate as a professional in the capital market or carry on securities business to be registered by the commission before engaging in such activities. It is therefore illegal to carry on any kind of capital market business without registration,” it said in a post on its website.
