The female Team Nigeria relay team, which has Blessing Okagbare as its skipper, came in last on Saturday in the women’s 4x100m relay at the ongoing Rio Olympics.
The Nigerian quartet made up of Okagbare, Gloria Asumu, Jennifer Madu and Agnes Osazuwa, finished last in 43.21seconds.
The event had the U.S. team led by Allyson Felix, claim Gold in time of 41.01 seconds. Jamaica and Great Britain ladies won silver and bronze after crossing the finish line in 41.36 seconds and 41.77 seconds respectively.
Germany, Trinidad and Tobago, Ukraine and Canada, all finished ahead of the Nigerian ladies.
In a series of photos the effeminate shared on his Social media pages, he claims that nobody is hotter than he is, not even women who have breasts and other feminine features.
He says as he stepped out for work one time during the week, his colleagues said “he looks hot” – that comment to me, is just sad… An effeminate, who looks hot? Shaking and twisting my head 360 degrees.

The story you are about to read discloses one of the pathetic yet interesting cases that ABSU Law Clinic, through its services to the community is handling.
It is pitiable to see that in a world where it is loudly proclaimed that children are the leaders of tomorrow, a 14 years old boy, lavishes behind bars for roughly 2 years for a crime he has not been convicted of.
Even as an orphan, his potentials has made him a cynosure at Umuahia prisons, Afara, where he has been remanded all this while. His name is Chima Chimaroke and this is his story;
Chima Chimaroke was born in January 2001 into the family of the Chimas, from Umuekwuele in Afugiri, Umuahia, Abia State. Unfortunately for him he lost his parents and only twin brother at a very tender age.
Despite these challenges Chimaroke exhibited swift learning abilities that led him to acquire skills in phones and other electronics devices repair. He further harnessed his swift learning abilities at Umuahia prisons where he is a barber and the sole shoe maker.
Just as a man on a swing sways in whatever direction the wind blows, Chimaroke was soon swallowed up in social vices as he lacked the attention, love and direction he would have gotten from his late parents. As a boisterous young man, he began to fend for himself by hawking Lacasera and Gala on the streets as the family he found himself in had no eye for him.
He was introduced into the world of crime by his co-hawkers who compelled him to stand as a lookout while they carried out their devious plans. As a fresh man in the world of crime, he was the only one arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit armed robbery whilst the ringleaders are graciously at large.
Through the joint efforts of the ABSU LAW CLINIC and the office of the Chief Judge of Abia state, Chimaroke was granted bail during the jail delivery that took place on the 4th of May, 2016. But we are faced with a problem, thus;
Chimaroke is an orphan with no immediate relatives except for his stepmother and step brothers. The stepmother has refused to have anything to do with him and has gone on to prevent her children from helping out. Saying that China is an “abandoned government property”. It was a herculean task for ABSU LAW CLINIC to locate, communicate with and convince one of his step brothers to sign Chimarokes bail bond.
Although by Gods intervention he agreed to sign but on the condition that Chimaroke is not welcomed in their home as their mother would not allow it. He said he could only sign it if we could provide accommodation or a place to rehabilitate Chimaraoke.
The problem now is DO WE RELEASE CHIMARAOKE TO A FAMILY THAT SEES HIM AS AN ABANDONED GOVERNMENT PROPERTY OR DO WE RELEASE HIM BACK TO A WORLD OF CRIME?
Chimaroke needs to be taught love where he has seen hate, peace where he has seen chaos, a home where he has been left on the streets.
Chimaroke need YOU to harness his talent where his talent has been left dormant.
His stay in the prison has done more harm than good to him and the society at large, as he would be molded from the things he learns now. Chimaroke is susceptible to change and only needs the right hands to lead him aright.
The ABSU LAW CLINIC calls on non-governmental organizations, individuals to help provide a home and a means of livelihood for Chimaroke. We see a lot of potentials and possibilities in Chima and we want you to join in his progress. As it stands, we are the only ones the little boy has. His only hope It is one of our duties to the community.

A user has written to Laila Ijeoma on how her husband of few months told her to get an abortion after she discovered she was pregnant.
Read Below:
I beg of you to keep all my details private, I don’t know what I would do if this portion of my life leaks to the public.
It pains me to be at such a low point that I have to write anonymously into a blog. It’s hard because I can’t share this with anyone, so I’ve been battling it alone.
I met my husband 3 years ago, and we did our traditional marriage this summer. We have not yet done our church wedding. For a while I started noticing a change in my body, and friends kept teasing that I look pregnant. So I decided to take a pregnancy test and discovered that l was pregnant.
I felt a small burst of joy because I had never imagined myself ever being pregnant, but that joy ended quickly because he was not excited and suggested I abort it.
He said that he is not ready for a child yet, and that he has so much more he wants to do with his life. I went on to tell him that I am ready and that no matter the circumstance, the baby is already here. He told me that he does not operate like that and that gone are the days when people go on with things because they’re already in a situation.
I started crying and asking him why he would put me through this. Whenever I would try to explain my feelings to him he won’t even give me the audience, he has not even made any effort to console me or make me feel better about the situation.
I finally told him that I will go ahead and abort my baby, but when I do that will be the end of us, because I don’t see how someone that claims to love me can put me through such a situation. I am so drained because I find myself crying and not eating these days.
I have not told anyone so I am facing this alone. It pains me even more because my husband is the first and only man I’ve slept with and the first man I’ve ever loved. I feel like a rejected woman and not a celebrated wife.
Please someone help me, I need to hear some words of wisdom and advice.
Desmond Elliot is a Nigerian actor, director and most recently politician has been in numerous Nollywood movies and TV shows.
Desmond recently took to his Instagram page to post some goodwill he did recently.
He gifted a homeless lady who impressed him, by powering a new borehole he rehabilitated, with a new furnished apartment. See pictures below:
So I rehabilitated this bore hole a few months ago, and the woman in this picture apparently is homeless and lives there at that spot, she bought a generator to power the bore hole (she washes clothes for a living)Boy was I impressed so I decided to give her a little surprise
She got a clean, fresh, room apartment with a television,gotv,fan, matress and chair ..a place to retire to after a days work. Congrats to her .
This is all part of his political campaign promise to tackle poor electricity in Lagos. His fans support his goodwill so far as they left positive comments.
Before you’ll come back from your vacation, I just want you to know about small accident I had. I did not get hurt, so do not worry about me too much.
So I was driving a pickup truck home from a shopping mall when turning into the driveway I accidentally mulled pedals and pushed down on the accelerator instead of brake. Fortunately, the truck stopped when met your car, besides, the garage door is slightly bent.
I am so sorry, my love, but I know you, with your kind-hearted personality, will forgive me! I am attaching a photo for you.
My dearest person I can not wait but to give you a loving hug!
In this interview with Jesusegun Alagbe of Punch Newspaper, actor Bob Manuel had this to say!
Do you also use generator like most Nigerians do?
Of course, I do, even more than most Nigerians. We have no choice due to poor power supply in the country. I rely mostly on generator for my power needs.
For how many hours in a day do you enjoy government power supply in your area?
I cannot estimate that. Sometimes there is electricity today, tomorrow there is none. It’s an on-and-off situation. Sometimes, there could be no power for weeks and I often forget there’s anything called government power supply. It’s just like what every other Nigerian experiences.
Some people switch off some of their home appliances when running on generator so as to save fuel cost. Do you also do that?
I do it, but not necessarily to save cost. It is to save the lifespans of the appliances and the generator. Using home appliances for long when running on generator could cause damage to them and the generator in the long run.
That is why I have three generators in my house. It is not deliberate and it is not to prove being rich, but it is because of the condition we have found ourselves in this country. I run one in the morning, one in the afternoon and one in the night. By doing this, I will be able to lengthen the lifespan of the generators. Of course, running the generator throughout the day creates a deep hole in the pocket, but what can we do with the epileptic power supply in the country?
How much do you spend on powering your generators per month?
I have stopped calculating the amount. It is painful. You can just imagine if someone is spending just N1,000 per day to run a generator, in a month, you would have spent N30,000. Many Nigerians spend more than that per month. Personally, if I calculate what I spend on powering my generators, I will develop high blood pressure. I don’t bother again.
Do you have any hope that power supply in this country will improve?
No hope. There is none and I will tell you why. The issue of power supply in this country cannot be solved in a day.
The problem was caused by a particular set of people in this country who don’t want to see things work. Twenty years ago, having a generator was by choice, not something everybody had. Only a few people had it. But things got worse afterwards and now the importation of generators is big business and the importers are making billions of naira from it. Some of the importers are big people in this country who are doing everything they can to not make power supply improve. Some of them partially own the companies that manufacture generators.
These people are in the government and wield huge influence. I am pessimistic we can succeed in getting good power supply again in this country. If it is ever going to happen, it will involve the shedding of blood because the cabal will be ready to do anything for their business to keep thriving. I am putting this as a challenge to the government, let them prove me wrong. We can never get stable power supply again in this country.
Some people are going for solar panels in their homes. Are you also considering installing it?
Every option is on the table, but is solar cheap? No, it’s not. People are suffering, there is no money. People are not smiling. These days, you hear stories of food theft because of the bad situation of things. All is not well for now. My appeal to the government is to bring the much desired change. Things are hard on Nigerians and we cannot continue like this.
What advice would you give Nigerians?
Take things in order of priority. Draw a scale of preference. Then, to give a tip on saving fuel, when you turn on your generator, draw the fuel pump valve to half way. I have not really experimented it before, but I think it gives some psychological feeling that you are saving some fuel. Let other Nigerians try it and give me feedback.
Determined to make a difference, Okechukwu Joseph ventured into the movie industry but after about a decade, the actor believed that he had not made the desired change…and so he traveled to the United States where he enrolled at the New York Film Academy.
The result of this is a soon-to-be released movie entitled, Second Chance. In an interview with Christian Agadibe, Joseph talks about his new film, aborted romance with star actress, Genevieve Nnaji and his plans for Nollywood.
How does it feel to come back home after your academic sojourn in America?
I am more than happy to be home. It was strictly an academic sojourn. I got into the movie industry in 1996, shot my first movie in 1997 and 10 years later, I felt it was a good time for some upgrade at the New York Film Academy at Universal Studios; Hollywood was the best choice I ever made. I loved every bit of my experience there. It was life changing.
What project have you been able to accomplish after school and are there any specific benefits of your return to Nollywood?
After I finished from film school I produced a movie in Maryland. The movie is entitled Second Chance. Ever since I have had a few post-production hiccups here and there but thank God, all those are giving way now and Second Chance will soon be released in Nigeria.
I am excited to announce that one of the big Hollywood producers/directors with whom I went into partnership some years back is finally here in Nigeria for good. He brought loads of hi-tech equipment and there is now a huge studio set up in Calabar.
We intend to extend production services to different parts of the country at a rate never before heard of. The idea is to encourage professional filmmaking without breaking the bank. And we also want to start connecting our Nollywood producers with foreign distribution outlets in America, Europe and beyond.
Did you play a role in the movie?
Of course! I acted in the movie. I was one of the lead characters.
What do you like about the character you played?
The role I played was very sensitive and tasking. It was a challenge I was very happy to take. It had way too many significant transitions and each transition pulled the same amount of energy and required even higher concentration and focus than the previous.
It tells you how strong the story was. I conceived the story, took about 18 months to piece it together and finally wrote it in the Netherlands.
Before you left the country, which was the last movie you featured in?
Alice My First Lady! I played Amadi. I married two wives – Alice and Akunne. Alice was the first and for some reasons, I paid a terrible price for my choice of a second wife, Akunne. Alice beat the crap out of my rather fragile Akunne. I think a lot of people like that movie. I do too. Very hilarious! I have featured in over a hundred movies but every time I step out all I hear is ‘Amadi, Alice’s husband’. Or you see some women clapping their hands and cracking up at the sight of me. Ladies laugh me to stupor sometimes because they see me as the weakling of a man who made Alice their perfect symbol of defiant womanhood.
Growing up, were there signs that pointed you in this direction?
Yes. I come from a family of five. I have just a brother and a sister. So, usually, when I was much younger, I would spontaneously just entertain my family and make everybody laugh especially my mother. I could mimic like crazy.
Actually, my mom thought I would become a comedian so she fought so hard to distract me from the entertainment industry. You see, she enjoyed my performances but she wanted me to be an engineer because her other son is a medical doctor and the girl is a lawyer. But hey, I am who I am and I have absolutely no regrets.
What is the craziest thing a fan has done to you?
A female fan once brought out her breast in an open place and gave me a marker to sign on it. It was very bizarre. I begged her to let me sign on her chest and she insisted. Trust me I had no choice. I did it! Just made sure my hands were at the upper end of the marker pen.
What is your kind of woman?
Classy, clean and confident.
Has any one of your female colleagues ever solicited sex from you while in the process of shooting?
Truth is a lot of people didn’t know that all that while that I was shooting movies everywhere I was still a virgin! I didn’t know how to explain this to ladies especially. People thought I had other strange feelings. One of my directors even confronted me at some point wanting to know if I was hiding some ailment.
It was on the set of this director that two young women attempted to rape me in my hotel room. I will never forget this. It was Singapore Hotel, Ikeja, where we lodged. The movie was Karishika 2. We had returned from a shoot so I left my door open. They came in, stripped themselves halfway and pounced on me. I fought with them for nearly 25 minutes. They gave up when I threatened to stab them. I lied that I had a knife. That was probably the third time that I had had that kind of experience.
Were they your colleagues?
Of course! They were upcoming artistes. They were also part of that movie. Everybody else was fair game, but I was ‘forming superman’ so I could understand their frustration. And they were a crazy bunch. You don’t come across girls like that every day – whether in Nollywood or elsewhere. It was something else.
Why did you find it difficult to mingle like others?
I had no difficulty mingling. What I had issues with was entangling- copulating. And like I said earlier, I wasn’t ready because I was a virgin and I didn’t want to tell anybody.
I was always making excuses about why I couldn’t ‘get down.’ In fact this is one of the reasons my very short relationship with Genevieve was such a disaster. This is the first time I am admitting this publicly.
Genny and I met and became friends on the set of Mark of the Beast. Of course in her very early days. It was as though we were in some type of experiment. But I learned a lot about her within that short period. Two unforgettable moments- the day she introduced her little brother to me and the day she told me literally everything about herself. She trusted me that much. My mind was racing like crazy and I kept wondering how so little people knew about this young Amazon who was out to play the Esther for her family and did she? She felt like family to me.
Unfortunately, we couldn’t go further because of my funny little ‘virgin’ secret. Not that she solicited or asked for anything but of course, my body language was downright repulsive to that effect and it didn’t take anything for any woman with brains to figure it out. She was so full of pragmatic energy and so on-the-go- like woman on a mission. Never ready to play around with stuff she couldn’t put up with. I hope she’s still that way. She has got an incredible story to her glory.
If you have that kind of opportunity with Genevieve again, would you take things to the next level?
I don’t know what you mean by ‘the next level.’ But I would love to play by my rules book at this moment. However, there is not going to be any such opportunity. The young woman has moved on ever so predictably and I’m the happiest for her.
How do you handle those fans coming to you with crazy demands?
If you can’t grant some one’s crazy demands, it simply means that what you have to offer is incompatible with what they’re looking for.
So offer what you have. In other words, deploy your self control parachute as politely and diplomatically as you possibly can. You don’t want to get unnecessarily caught up in an ever blazing fan fury. It hurts sometimes.
Aside acting, what else do you do on the side?
I do business. I’m obsessed with new technology. At the moment there is a revolutionary product that I have been promoting in Nigeria. It is known as Atmospheric Water Generator. It is like a regular water dispenser but in reality, as the name implies, it produces water out of thin air.
I mean pure, clean, drinking water from humidity! Water produced by this machine is regarded as the purest, cleanest drinking water known to mankind today. It is more than business and I see it as a mission that is why I went into it.
You can read more about my business on Fountain Royale Atmospheric Water Generator. Or check it on our website at Aquavolve LLC where you will see machines that are capable of producing as much as 5,000 liters a day from the humidity in the air. Whole neighborhoods can be supplied and boreholes could be a thing of the past with our machines.
Now that you are back in town, what should fans expect from you?
Fans should expect some really good stuff from me. I have done like five movies and one TV series since I returned from the United States. I am currently working on a few others.
THE Ogun State Police Command yesterday, said it had rearrested Mr. Joe Chinakwe, who named his pet dog Buhari, noting that the suspect would be arraigned in court on Monday. It also stated that Chinakwe, who was earlier released a few days ago, was picked up again based on its belief that the suspect’s action was capable of provoking an ethnoreligious crisis.
Saturday Vanguard had exclusively reported the three-day detention and subsequent release of the 30-year old after the intervention of the Serkin Hausa and President-General of non-indigenes in the state. He was taken into custody after one of his neighbours, who was later found out to be a Nigerien complained that the dog was named after his father, Alhaji Buhari.
It was learned that the prompt intervention of the elders made the complainant to withdraw the case at Sango-Ota Division. Police sources had earlier told Vanguard that upon his release, the father of two, who hails from Ukwunzu in Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State and the complainant were made to sign an undertaking not to cause any breach of peace.
In the light of these, the suspect’s arrest yesterday opened another page on the matter that had aroused public interest. However, the state’s Public Relations Officer, Mr. Abimbola Oyeyemi, told newsmen that Chinakwe was rearrested yesterday to prevent the state from being plunged into crisis, adding that the complainant and his sympathisers had threatened to kill the suspect. He further stated that
the suspect was being held at the Criminal Investigation Department of the command, noting that the arrest was done to save Chinakwe’s life. In addition, the Police mouthpiece said the suspect, had confessed that he named his pet dog Buhari and had the name written on the body of the dog. His words: “The man is here with us. He is at the Criminal Investigation Department.
The charge will be prepared here and he will be arraigned at Sango Magistrate Court on Monday. “He is going to court on Monday because what he did was highly provocative.
It can cause an ethnic and religious crisis. We have to be proactive, we cannot fold our arms and allow the state to be plunged into crisis. “In fact, the arrest was made to save the suspect’s life because the complainant and his group have threatened to kill him if he comes back and this may trigger violence”.
Further investigation by Vanguard showed that the Police had not recovered the dog which may likely serve as evidence.
Chinakwe was arrested last Saturday after one of his neighbours complained that he named the dog after his father, Alhaji Buhari.
Got married to my husband three years ago and some months, but my three years of marital bliss is nothing but confusion.
I met him on Facebook in 2008 and we met in person late 2011 and we got married in February 2013, but the person I thought I knew was a total stranger.. After our marriage I got to know my hubby do bed wet, but I take it with a good fate and started praying along with him.
I gave birth to my son August 2013, after the birth of my son, my loving husband started his fornication in 3d without control, I pray I begged, and even fought with him to tell me what am doing wrong but all these led to him beating the hell out of me, leaving me with bruises…
In Dec 2014, I caught him with a secret phone with over 50 contact which is only female contact from Eskimi dating site and some other place…I was very hurt so will had a big fight over it, but later settled… but after everything there is this particular lady that my hubby refused to let go, for the reason known to them, he flaunts their relationship in a coded way but I do find out…the problem now is any time I confront my hubby with this girl’s issue, he will deny it and even curse myself if he has anything to do with her..anytime we had any disagreement now first thing he says is I should leave him and go..
I’m really confused, is it man ego or there is no love left in my marriage?. This is the man I accepted in his darkest moment and I still keep my mouth shut about his bed wetting thingz..
Please note: we are still struggling to move forward, so money is not involved o…my son spent last term at home coz of money..
Following the high rate of road accidents recorded by the transport company in the recent past, Peace Mass Transit has began a test for all drivers of its commercial vehicles nationwide at Udi, Enugu State.
Chairman of the company, Sam Onyishi, explained that the standardised test was done in partnership with the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC).
His words:
“We appreciate the confidence reposed on our team by our stakeholders and our customers. We understand that it’s a call to do more. This explains why PMT has moved for a two month re-certification training course for over 2000 of her drivers by Safety experts at FRSC National Academy, Udi.
According to H-Metro news in Zimbabwe, a seemingly sex crazy man, who was reportedly dating two sisters, was trapped and forced to walk Unclad on the streets after an afternoon intimacy with one of the lovers.
The man – only identified as Fari – proposed love to two sisters identified as Kudzi and Tari and they later discovered that they were seeing one man and agreed to set up a trap.
Fari was invited by one of the ladies, Kudzi, to their house along St Martins Crescent where he was taken into a bedroom.
He was ready for sex. After removing his clothes and getting ready for the act, Tari sneaked into the room and collected his clothes and hid them and returned to remove blankets.
He wanted to be a genius by bedding two sisters but today he was humiliated,” one of the eye witnesses told H-Metro.
“The sisters were not aware that they were seeing one man only to discover it during their discussions that they were talking about one person,” he added.
The inch-long scar on the neck of 53-year-old Mrs. Christiana Ashinwo, is one of the physical reminders of the horror of Sunday, April 24, 2016.
She sat on a chair quietly in the sitting room of a house in Agbado area of Lagos, which she built with the sweat and suffering of many years as a single mother and plank vendor. Her head was bowed when our correspondent went to meet her.
But when Mrs Ashinwo looked up, her eyes were glazed with a faraway look that would easily giveaway the fact that she could have witnessed trauma, great trauma that she obviously had yet to recover from.
Who would blame her? Watching her daughter killed before her presence, is enough to give her chills every moment for the rest of her life. The horrific incident she witnessed and survived few months ago in Kwara State remains so fresh on her mind.
Our correspondent had reported on April 30 how Mrs. Ashinwo and her daughter, 30-year-old Oluwatosin Ashinwo, an employee of MTN in Ilorin, Kwara State were attacked by a knife-wielding obsessed suitor of the young lady, 45-year-old David Ogundele.
Mrs. Ashinwo survived the attack, her daughter didn’t.
The older woman’s injuries were no less extensive, as she spent many days in the emergency unit of a hospital in Ilorin as doctors battled to save her life. She would later spend another two months in the intensive care unit of the hospital.
Our correspondent paid her a visit in Lagos, days after she was discharged and brought back home.
With a very raspy voice and intermittent cough that came out with each word, one would conclude that all was still not well with the woman, who was left for dead in the pool of her own blood in Ilorin that fateful day.
For her, the agony she feels with each morsel of food and gulp of liquid passing through her knife-damaged throat was nothing compared to the daily torment of thinking about how she lost her first child, breadwinner, and daughter.
“I knelt down to beg my daughter’s killer as he held the knife that later took my daughter’s life. I thought kneeling would pacify him,” she said.
The story Mrs. Ashinwo told was one of agony, climaxing at the moment she laid in a pool of her own blood and tried with every ounce of her waning strength to crawl to where her daughter laid lifeless.
“I was dead; I don’t know why God brought me back. But I am sure I was dead that day. I tried to crawl and touch my daughter but my strength failed. I could see she was not breathing. There was blood everywhere; mine and my daughter’s,” she said.
According to her, the day of the attack was the first time he would meet the killer, Ogundele.
Mrs. Ashinwo said, “The first time we spoke, he called me and introduced himself as Engineer David. He told me he was my daughter’s friend and I should help him to appeal to my daughter to marry him.
Mrs Ashinwo
“I was surprised but I told him that my daughter was a 30-year-old woman. She was free to make her own decision about who to marry.
“He called again some weeks later and said he and my daughter had settled the issue.
“The next time, he called, he was very angry. He said he had never been humiliated the way my daughter humiliated him. It was few days after my daughter’s birthday. He said he organised a birthday party for her and invited his friends and even bought a car as gift but she did not honour the invitation.
“I did not know what to say. My daughter already had a car and already has someone else she wanted to marry. I told him not to be annoyed and forget about the issue since my daughter had made up her mind.
“Prior to April 30, I started having some bad dreams about my daughter and became really concerned. I decided that it was time to go and check on her to know how she was doing.
“On my way to Ilorin, the man (Ogundele) called again and said as soon as I get to Ilorin, he would come and pick me at the park. I said nothing. But since I did not even know him I went straight to my daughter’s place without calling him.
“When I met my daughter, she took me to a woman, who seemed to be her confidante. We ate and the woman told me that my daughter had a fight with one man called Engineer David that day and the man threatened to kill her.
“I did not waste time; I stood up and told her I must report to the police. But my daughter told me to let the matter go. She said I was just making a big issue out of a small matter.
“She said that was why she did not like telling me some things some times. I let the matter go because I did not want to be like an overzealous mother.”
But that was one decision that would haunt Mrs. Ashinwo every second of every day.
The following day, Sunday April 30, without any hint about the danger that lurked in the shadow, she and her daughter had just got home from somewhere that day. As they entered Oluwatosin’s flat, Ogundele, who was said to be have been hiding around the flat, cornered them in the flat.
Mrs. Ashinwo said, “He entered and locked the door behind him and put the key in his pocket. I had just finished bathing when my daughter called out to me that he was in the flat. I quickly dressed and prepared to meet the man that had been disturbing me so much with calls. When I saw him, I said ‘Good day, pleased to meet you’ and he replied that, ‘there is nothing good about today.’
“As soon as I saw him, I sighted the knife he was holding. I asked him what the problem was and he kept quiet. I did not understand what was happening. He was saying so many things I did not understand. I asked him if my daughter owed him anything. I promised to pay back everything. He said she did not owe him anything. He was just angry.
“I told him that even if they offended each other, it should not be that bad that it would require the use of a knife. I told them they could still be friends. When I realised he had no intension of dropping the knife, I went down on my knees. I was begging him to drop the knife. Then, he came to where I knelt and carried me up.
“Just when I thought the issue would end, he rushed at Tosin and held her down on the bed. He started stabbing her furiously. As my daughter screamed, I rushed at him. I could not just stand and he stared stabbing me too over the body.”
Scars from stabbing on Mrs. Ashinwo’s back
By the time the attack was over, Mrs. Ashinwo had been stabbed at least 10 times in her torso, with the knife going through her throat in the
As all became quiet in the room where the dying women lay, Ogundele, dropped his weapon, the bloody knife and locked his victims in the room, Saturday PUNCH learnt.
Minutes went by as Mrs. Ashinwo tried to call out to her daughter who was bleeding from every parts of the body.
She said she was so weak she could not even call out to her daughter who had become lifeless at that point.
Lucky for her, she heard someone in a kitchen behind her daughter’s window. The woman said she used the last ounce of her strength to call the person, who later raised the alarm.
By the time the door was broken down, it was too late for Oluwatosin. She was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital.
As Mrs. Ashinwo told this story, there was no doubt it was with tremendous agony as she relived the gory details.
Saturday PUNCH had earlier reported that Ogundele was arrested in Osun on Saturday, May 14, after the police tracked him down with undercover agents.
But Mrs. Ashinwo said the police have not even contacted her to give evidence. She said she could not understand why Ogundele has not been charged to court.
The spokesperson for the Kwara State Police Command, Mr. Ajayi Okasanmi, said he did not have information about the prosecution of the suspect when our correspondent called him.
He said he would call back to give update about the status of the case but had yet to do so as of the time of filing this report.
The man identified as one Adamu Asaph, has been arraigned in court.
Asaph was arraigned before an Abuja Grade One Area Court sitting in Karmo for allegedly stealing two packs of condom valued at N3,000.
Accoding to Daily Trust, the prosecutor, A. Z. Dalhatu, said the condoms were property of Society for Public Health which were kept in the company’s custody.
Asaph was arraigned on a one count charge of theft by servant contrary to Section 289 of Penal Code.
The accused person, Asaph, denied the charges.
The presiding judge, Sadiq Abubakar, released the accused on bail in the sum of N5,000 and a surety that resides within the court’s jurisdiction.
The case was adjourned to September 5.
Similarly, the same court has sentenced one Abdullahi Ayodele to two months imprisonment for attempting to vandalise a transformer at Utako, Abuja.
The convict, of no address, was sentenced under sections 343 and 95 of the penal code.
The prosecutor, A.Z. Dalhatu, told the court that the accused was caught with two spanners trying to remove armoured cables attached to the transformer at IBM Haruna Street, Utako, on Saturday.
He said during police investigation at Utako Police Division, the convict confessed to the crime.
When the charges were read to him, the accused pleaded guilty and was sentenced by the presiding judge, Sadiq Abubakar, to two months imprisonment with an option of N5,000 fine.

Top Nigerian comedian, AY turns 45 today, 19th of August, 2016, and his lovely wife, Mabel, gave a surprise him by bringing some friends to where he was training by 12am!
He shared these cool new photos of himself on IG with the caption below:
A man who was spotted walking on the road with a huge wooden cross around his neck was arrested or impersonating Jesus Christ.
Artist and filmmaker Ilya Novikov, 23, was behind the stunt in the city of Perm in central Russia’s Perm Krai region, Mirror reports.
But he was accused of blasphemy by local church leaders and fell foul of police for being a potential traffic hazard.
A video filmed by an eyewitness shows the bearded artist wearing long flowing white robes as he walks along the pavement with a T-shaped cross.
Motorists and pedestrians shouted insults at Mr Novikov, and one bystander called the police fearing he could distract passing traffic.
Two policemen quickly arrived on the scene to arrest him – but struggled to fit his cross in the back of their patrol car.
They eventually succeeded and took Mr Novikov to a police station for questioning and he was later released.
Mr Novikov said:
“My friend gave me some wooden sticks so I made a cross out of them. The experience of Jesus Christ was repeated. People were laughing, shouting and mocking me.
“This reaction proves that the Bible story was true and that after 2,000 years people have still not changed – we are still cruel and intolerant to our neighbours.”
But Father Igor Anoufriev, the rector of the city’s Church of St George, condemned the stunt as blasphemy.
“This, of course, offends believers. Nobody has the right to try on the image of Jesus Christ, who is our sacred lord,” he said.
This photo has caused some stir on social media. The photo shows the images of Jesus and Mary plastered on bathroom slippers; a photo for each slipper
Since it emerged, the photo has got people debating on the appropriateness of the design. Some think it is very disrespectful and too blasphemous.
Some critics have even called for the makers of the slippers to be flogged thoroughly. Other more tolerant and liberal persons have, however, said there is no big deal about he design.

I guess this will be the new trend yeah? After a 30 year old trader who named his dog Buhari…got arrested..and later released…Yet another Nigerian has named her pet dog after another Nigerian Leader – Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed.
Ada Ogbonna, a Nigerian based in United States, said she decided to name her dog Lai Mohammed after someone she admired.
As the worldwide quadrennial event has three days to its end, Team Nigeria took delivery of the much awaited kits after most of the athletes had concluded their events with some already back to their bases.
A top official of the Athletics Federation of Nigeria who disclosed this to Vanguard sports Thursday, said the kits which arrived Wednesday night would no longer serve any purpose because “most of the athletes have left after concluding their events”.
“I have never experienced this in my years in sports. Money meant for the Games was held tightly by ministry officials and they were just releasing money piecemeal. We had to buy kits on our own while some athletes competed in their personal kits.”
It would be recalled that Team Nigeria had to resort to their warm-up track suits for the match past of the Opening Ceremony as the sports ministry claimed the official attire which was showcased before President Muhammadu Buhari during the hand-over ceremony in Abuja failed to arrive on time for the ceremony.
Nigerians who were alarmed by the embarrassing scenario condemned the ministry for the untidy handling of the athletes’ kits but the sports minister, Solomon Dalung, in defence of the ministry, tweeted with a post that even the South African contingent appeared at the Opening Ceremony in their track suits.
Yesterday, Anita Joseph was among the few that celebrated her fellow actress, Angela Okorie. She was pictured alongside the actress during Anita’s Birthday celebration yesterday.
Anita was pictured in a brown one-hand outfit donning it with a pant trousers…
What came to my attention was her arm. Her left arm apparently..
Few years ago..The actress had a ‘Dragon-like tattoo’…Fast forward to now. Did she do a tattoo removal? or Her skin is aging? Thus the tattoo can no longer blend with the skin?
Mark Angel Comedy are back! and this time around they’re back with a bang!
Here’s a new Episode off their weekly comedy series after about 3 weeks of not feeding us with any video! Bless the mark angel comedy crew! This episode is beyond hilarious! Lol
Our beautiful city of Lagos has been ranked as the third worst city to live in the world, holding on to its 2015 position on the Global Liveability index according to the 2016 ranking by the Economist Intelligence Unit which was released yesterday.
The city dubbed as one of Africa’s largest economy capital is placed 138th out of the 140 cities ranked in the latest liveability survey, just above war-ravaged cities, Tripoli and Damascus.
The report listed Boko Haram as one of the factors contributing to the instability in Lagos,
“Continued threats from groups like Boko Haram acts as a constraint to improving stability in Lagos.” the report reads.
The top five best countries to live in, according to the report, are Melbourne, Australia; Vienna, Austria; Vancouver, Canada; Toronto, Canada; and Calgary, Canada.
The survey arrives at the ranking by assessing which locations around the world provide the best or the worst living conditions across five broad categories,stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education, and infrastructure.
Of the five categories, Lagos scored highest in culture and environment, followed by infrastructure. It scored lowest in stability.
Three other African cities joined Lagos at the bottom , with Douala, Cameroun; Harare, Zimbabwe; and Algiers, Algeria; ranking 132nd, 133rd, and 134th respectively.
Hip hop singer, Davido, who was advertised to be among the artistes to perform at the Festival of India, which took in Lagos on Saturday, was conspicuously absent.
This did not go down well with some guests who obviously wanted to see him in action.
Indeed, such people think that the inclusion of his name was a fluke, to the extent that some have expressed the opinion online.
But Punch Newspapers spoke with the organisers who stressed that Davido was indeed invited.
The chief organiser, Rosiji, also confirmed this.
Although he said it was premature to say much on the development, other vital sources noted that the contract between the Festival of India and the artiste could run into N7m.
It was gathered that Davido informed them on Friday night, a day to the event, that he was indisposed.
It was further gathered on Thursday (yesterday) night that the organisers have accordingly communicated Davido’s lawyers, as they hope to get a refund of the fee said to have been paid.
Efforts by our correspondent to speak with the artiste or his manager did not yield fruits.
A call to his manager’s phone number and a subsequent text message had not been replied as of 8pm production time on Thursday.
Omo, no be beans oh! The guy has to rant nah… In this kind harsh economy, you’d just chop a guy’s hard earned six thousand naira, hahan! Money for soup of two weeks!!
So this guy took to Facebook to call out a lady who he spent 6k on while on something sort of an unexpected date and she cleverly sprinted after turning him to her maga.
I couldn’t stop laughing after I read his post! See below:
The beautiful singer is one who loves to make a unique fashion statement most of the time and when she does, we listen with our eyes!!
She loves to slay in outfits rather different from what most ladies seem to be rocking these days – whether a traditional outfit or casual or formal, Yemi Alade sure knows what’s best for her for whatever occasion it may be.
She’s spotted here rocking an off shoulder top with a blue boot cut jeans combined with a choker and a blonde version of her signature hairstyle. How cool…
The President, claims that the dreadful route where an amount of insurgents could be located there, was traveled by, by an Egyptian ambassador – the news was shared on the President’s Twitter page.
I guess it’s in a bid to tell Nigerians that the atrocities of the insurgents is subsiding gradually. Below is what was tweeted by his account:
