    “I have left everything to God” – Father of Anambra student accused of forging her UTME result says he will not be seeking legal redress (Video)

    Romanus Ejikeme, the father of Mmesoma, the Anambra pupil accused of forging her 2023 UTME result, has stated that he has left everything to God.

    Mmesoma Ejikeme was accused by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) of manually inflating her UTME result.

    According to the examination board, Mmesoma scored 249 in the examination, contrary to the 362 she claimed to have obtained.

    To support its claim, the board released Mmesoma’s alleged original result on Tuesday, which showed her aggregate as 249, and announced that her result had been withdrawn and she would be banned from taking the examination for the next three years.

    Speaking in an interview with Channels TV on Tuesday, July 4, Mmesoma’s father, Romanus, stated that he has entrusted everything to God and will not be seeking any legal recourse.

    During the interview with Channels TV, Mr. Ejikeme insisted that the result his daughter was claiming was printed from the JAMB portal. He added that he firmly believes that the board is working against his daughter.

    “My daughter did not commit any offense. She is innocent because she has consistently been a top student from secondary school until now. She is very studious and takes her education seriously. Sometimes she studies until daybreak to achieve good results. So she cannot commit such a crime,” he asserted.

    Further expressing his stance, Ejikeme, who mentioned that he is a musician and won a competition in 1996 before becoming a motorcycle rider, revealed that he will not pursue any legal action and will leave everything in God’s hands.

    “I am not doing anything. I will simply leave everything to God. God knows the truth, he said.

    Between singer, Yemi Alade and a fashion police who noticed a flaw in her outfit

    Popular Nigerian singer, Yemi Alade, has clapped back at an eagle-eyed Twitter user who noticed a flaw in her outfit after she shared a photo on social media.

    The self-styled mama Africa had taken to her Twitter handle to share a photo of herself in a brown two-piece skirt and fishnet tights to match.

    Sharing the photo, Yemi Alade gushed over her beauty and talents.

    “I’m amazing, extremely talented, kind, and extraordinary. You would mistake me for an angel,” she captioned the post.

    See her post below,

    However, a Twitter user was quick to notice a tear in the tights and called attention to it. He zoomed in on the photo to clearly show the torn part and wrote, Am I the only one seeing this?”

    Yemi Alade spotted the comment, found it distasteful, and gave a befitting response.

    “This pic was posted 3 minutes ago, and that was enough time for you to zoom in and tweet your ignorance. Imagine if you paid attention to the details of your life in this manner, you would be in a better place by now. It’s open on both thighs since that area is your business too,” she wrote.

    “You are just one st!nking b*tch forming who you are not” – Actor, Yomi Fabiyi lampoons Davido for allegedly enabling abor.tion

    Yomi Fabiyi lampoons

    Nollywood actor, Yomi Fabiyi has lambasted popular singer, Davido, for reportedly encouraging his alleged side chicks to get an abortion.

    Taking to his Instagram page, Yomi expressed his displeasure and disappointment in Davido over the way he allegedly handled the multiple pregnancies linked to him.

    He recalled how Davido threatened to take action against him over some comments he made two years ago in relation to his colleague, Baba Ijesha’s alleged child molestation case, which he is currently serving time in prison for.

    Yomi Fabiyi lampoons

    According to him, based on the way Davido attacked him for seemingly “supporting” Baba Ijesha, one would have thought he would not encourage the murder of his unborn babies via abortion.

    Speaking further, he said that if Davido can arrest someone for negligence over the death of his son Ifeanyi Adeleke, one would expect him to have compassion for every other child.

    Yomi Fabiyi lampoons

    He further described Davido as a “stinking b!tch” who is pretending to be who is not and fooling people on the internet.

    Read his full post below,

    “By all standard, abortion or enabling abortion is a sin and unacceptable before God and laws of some countries including US. To now have an individual @davido who has serious overwhelming influence on teenagers and youths repeatedly propositioning and enabling spineless and voiceless young ladies into #abortion (an outright murder of an innocent child) is unacceptable and disappointing.

    If you can arrest someone for negligence on the death of your child, one would expect you to have compassion for every other children not even the ones you deliberately invited to this world.

    You were once at that stage of those babies you paid their mothers to kill for your own selfish interest. What if those girls die in the process? Or you are deliberately impregnating them and have them shed those blood for other purposes?

    It is a disaster on Nigeria social media that only a handful think outside the box. I thought you cared so much about children when you posted my picture and captioned it “BITCH ON SIGHT” and in another you called me “MUMU” for protesting for human rights of a defendant(someone I reckon was likely ambushed into misfortune in an organised crime). I was even demanding justice for the victim. For those adults using her as a bait(if truly she was 14years then) was the purest evil vis a vis child PONOGRAPHY on the part of Princess Comedian, etc.

    Let me remind you, human rights is not for victims only. Quite unfortunate, few of you misuse the social media advantage and exhibit sheer arrogance of Ignorance laced with envy, disrespect and delusion. You all are not in my purview anyways.

    You are not really who people think you are, what a shame. God will continue to expose you lots for subjecting me to what I never deserve. I AM DISGUSTED WITH THE VAST CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE by the several holier than thou now. At the end of the day, you are just one stinking bitch forming who you are not and fooling loads online. Shame on you.

    Find peace with those women and treat them right if you are wise enough before it is ……. Those babies have right to life.

    A Nigerian woman has shared her personal experience with her husband’s deceased friend while addressing those who don’t believe in spirits and reincarnation.

    The woman, who claims to be a spiritualist, shared her story in response to a TikTok video where a lady narrated how her mother slumped and died in Lagos state but continued selling at her shop in Delta state.

    She claimed that her husband’s friend appeared to her in a dream two weeks after his death, and revealed that he was poisoned and his family needed help.

    Lady shares

    He also opened up about his family, disclosing that he had two children with his wife, and she was expecting another child, a fact her husband verified as true.

    She also disclosed that the deceased man also revealed his intention to be reincarnated through his wife’s pregnancy.

    “You pretend to fight for children but secretly demand their abortion” – Yomi Fabiyi knocks Davido

    Popular Nollywood actor, Yomi Fabiyi has chastised famous Afrobeats musician, Davido for allegedly seeming to advocate for children but secretly requesting abortions when he gets ladies pregnant.

    Following allegations of pregnancy leveled against him by three women, Yomi Fabiyi has used the opportunity to refer back to the past and slam the DMW boss.

    According to Yomi, Davido pretends he loves kid meanwhile, behind the scenes, he demands the abortion of innocent children.

    He wrote;

    “That “BITCH ON SIGHT” is you @davido. You pretend you are fighting for children online at the expense of my life and career and secretly you are demanding the murder of innocent children behind. Shameless and socially unfit lots. Dwindling and fake personality.

    I have made a bold step, it is now left for my children and every other unsuspecting innocent children to decide if they still wish to follow and have you mentor them. You are such a disgrace. STOP KILLING INNOCENT CHILDREN.

    You dont love children and learn to keep your fingers in check. It is a criminal offence to suppress, gaug or incite attack on protesters. It is criminal to enable abortion or engage in it.”

    “We met in Port Harcourt. I called him out because I needed my money” – Nigerian lady who claimed she terminated a pregnancy for Davido tearfully recounts (Video)

    Chisom, the Nigerian lady who claimed to have had an abortion for singer Davido, has tearfully lamented being dragged by his fans online.

    Amidst the singer’s alleged infidelity scandal, Chisom had taken to social media on Sunday to claim that she also had an intimate affair with the married singer and got pregnant.

    However, she alleged that she terminated the pregnancy because Davido had promised her N10 million if she got rid of it, but sadly, he reneged on the promise.

    During an Instagram live session on Monday night, Chisom shared that she felt compelled to speak out about the encounter with the singer, which was about 2 years ago because she had hoped that Anita Brown, who is currently accusing Davido of impregnating her, would support her.

    She revealed that she first met the superstar singer in Port Harcourt, and on his second visit, he called her asking that they link up.

    “I met David in Port Harcourt and even when he came to Port Harcourt the second time he was the one that contacted me”, she said in part.

    JAMB bans Anambra student, Mmesoma Ejikeme, for three years over alleged fake UTME result

    The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has banned Anambra student, Mmesoma Ejikeme, from taking the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) for three years.

    Ejikeme was accused by the examination board of forging her result in the 2023 UTME. She allegedly manually manipulated her score, inflating it from 249 to 362 and falsely declaring herself as the top scorer.

    JAMB spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, revealed in a statement released on Tuesday that the board conducted a thorough investigation before reaching this conclusion.

    According to Benjamin, after considering the “weighty infraction” committed by Ejikeme Joy Mmesoma, the board has withdrawn her 2023 UTME result and barred her from sitting any future examinations conducted by the board for the next three years.

    The statement read,

    “EJIKEME JOY MMESOME: WE SHALL CONTINUE TO SERVE WITH INTEGRITY – JAMB

    The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) hereby restates its earlier position that the UTME result being paraded by Ejikeme Joy Mmesoma is patently fake.

    Consequently, the Board would like to reassure Nigerians that its system was neither tampered with nor compromised, as the candidate simply falsified a copy of a result slip belonging to a candidate named ‘Asimiyu Mariam Omobolanle’ who took the UTME in 2021 and scored 138.

    It is also worth noting that the candidate, in her statement, inadvertently revealed the rightful owner of the result she is parading when she pointed out that the QR code on the result slip showed the actual owner of the said result before she peddled a lie in an attempt to obfuscate the truth.

    To witness the unassailable position of the Board regarding this obvious falsehood, the general public is urged to scan the QR code on the result slip to see its actual owner before it was mutilated.

    It should be noted that the QR code encapsulates the UTME result of each candidate, hence what is on the result sheet is nothing other than the interpretation of the information on this QR code.

    Furthermore, the public is also to note that the Board stopped issuing Notification of Result slips after the 2021 UTME for the simple reason that candidates were falsifying them. Consequently, the Board has been issuing actual UTME RESULT Slips (not notification of results) since 2022, complete with the photograph of each candidate.

    Similarly, the public is invited to ponder on the fact that out of all the candidates that sat the 2023 UTME, only Ms. Ejikeme Mmesoma parades the obsolete ‘Notification of Result.’

    The Board remains unperturbed by this unfortunate development, as this is not the first time such fraudulent claims have been made. Nigerians are urged to recall numerous occasions where the Board was sued for billions of naira, only for the lawyers to later apologize profusely for their clients’ misadventure. Prominent among these is the case of a candidate, John Chinedu Ifesinachi, who, in 2021, wrote a letter to the Board, threatening to sue for N2b damages, only for him and his counsel to tender an unreserved apology when the candidate eventually confessed his crime in the face of incontrovertible facts in an open investigation observed by several national public institutions, including the Public Complaints Commission, National Human Rights Commission, Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Council, Servicom, and media houses.

    This case has, therefore, been rightly handed over to relevant security agencies for a thorough investigation to unravel the masterminds of yet another unfortunate scam.

    The Board is not averse to public scrutiny and is ready for an open public session involving the agencies listed above, as well as relevant security agencies, where the candidate, parents, guardian, and her legal team will be present.

    Another frightening dimension to the unfolding drama is the unwholesome interest of some nefarious elements who, to all intents and purposes, are determined to goad the candidate on this unproductive path, as any casual observer would observe with the obviously stage-managed video aired by Ms. Ejikeme. The Board urges these confusionists to have a rethink, as their evil machinations would soon come to light.

    Again, the Board restates its readiness for genuine scrutiny, as this case would not be the first time and might not even be the last of such shenanigans. At the end of the day, the truth would manifest, and the Board vindicated.

    In the meantime, the management of the Board urges members of the public to critically examine the issue at hand and avoid trafficking in fake news.

    In the meantime, the management of the Board, after considering the weighty infraction committed by Ms. Ejikeme Joy Mmesoma and in line with its established procedures, has withdrawn her 2023 UTME result and also barred her from sitting the Board’s examination for the next three years.

    Over the weekend, social media was set abuzz with rumors that Banky W cheated on his wife with an old flame and even impregnated her. This sparked a huge debate online, with many questioning the authenticity of the shady report.

    Despite the damning allegation, the couple did not confirm or deny the claim but instead doubled down on their public displays of affection for each other.

    “Davido is dəad to me. I’ll have another father to my child” – Davido’s alleged pregnant sidechick, Anita Brown blows hot

    American businesswoman, Anita Brown, who claims to be carrying Nigerian singer, Davido’s child has continued to drag him.

    The businesswoman first made headlines a few days ago when she announced her pregnancy for the married singer.

    She claimed to have had an intimate affair with the 30BG boss, which led to a pregnancy, despite him being married to his long-time lover, Chioma.

    To support her claim, she shared a series of alleged chats with the singer, a video of her taking a home pregnancy test, and even leaked his personal phone number online.

    While the singer is yet to react to her allegations, she went on a ranting spree on Twitter moments ago.

    According to her, she has lost 10 pounds in a week as a result of the drama.

    She noted that the singer is dead to her, and she’ll find another father for her child.

    In her own words,

    “He’s dead to me. Don’t ever bring him up again. That man wants to kill me. I lost 10 pounds in a week. I don’t want anything to do with him. I’m done. I will have another father for my child; I swear I will. He is dead to me; I swear.”

    “He’s dead to me. Don’t ever bring him up again. I wish y’all would stop calling my phone. Davido is not my child’s father. We don’t want him in my life or my child’s life. He died! Please get over it & move on. PLEASE! Leave us alone.”

    “Still not over it” – Billionaire daughter, Hauwa Indimi laments the high cost of tomatoes

    Hauwa Indimi laments

    Hauwa Indimi-Yar’adua, the daughter of Maiduguri billionaire oil mogul, Mohammed Indimi, has taken to social media to bemoan the rising cost of foodstuff in the country.

    The billionaire daughter, who recently welcomed her second child, posted a photo of a small basket of tomatoes her staff bought for N8000 in Abuja.

    Hauwa Indimi laments

    According to her, she was taken aback by the price of the tomatoes and still can’t believe the amount it was purchased.

    “I sent my people to the market and as of yesterday, this is N8k tomatoes. Still not over it,” she wrote on Monday, July 3.

    It’s no news that tomatoes are currently very expensive in Nigeria. A basket of tomatoes now sells for N45,000 -N50,000, depending on the market and state.

    Hauwa Indimi laments

    A while back, Hauwa justified her choice to give her baby the name Noah rather than “Nuh”.

    Taking to her Instagram story to reply to those who still attack her for her decision three years after, Hauwa said she doesn’t care what people think about what she calls her child.

    She shared a post that many people have sent her to justify why the name was wrong for a Muslim and highlighted her thoughts on the issue.

    She wrote;

    “Tell me why a few people has sent this to me
    Check all your other online sources and see if any other scholars have said it’s prohibited.
    Does your controversial sheikh know that Noah is Hebrew and so is Yagub and many other names? Does he ignor the good intention behind naming a child after Allahs prophet? Is the language his problem? Then he should be preaching in only Arabic as well.
    Do people really think we will name our child a name we haven’t done our research on? Does he actually think people want to blend with disbelievers?? Shocking.

    “I do not care what you think about what I call my child. Your thoughts don’t change a thing because this religion is just not as complicated as you make it
    I say Islam is not complicated because it literally says the exact names you are not allowed to call your child. It says the preferred names. It says Allah’s favourite names. Please take this time to look those up too so you know.” she added.

    Nigerian lady attempting to set Guinness World Record for the longest massage collapses (Video)

    A Nigerian lady, Joyce Ijeoma, who was on the course to set a Guinness World Record for the longest massage on different individuals, has collapsed.

    Since Nigerian chef Hilda Baci broke the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking time by an individual, it has motivated Nigerians to attempt breaking various records.

    While another Nigerian chef, Adeyeye Adeola, is currently attempting a 150-hour cooking marathon to break Hilda’s record, the Nigerian masseuses started a 72-hour massage-a-thon in the Lekki area of Lagos State on July 1, 2023.

    Joyce Ijeoma was striving to set a 72-hour record but could only manage to reach the 50-hour mark. She collapsed during a massage session, which was streamed live on her Instagram page.

    Watch the video of the moment she collapsed below:

    In other news, a Nigerian chef who is currently on a quest to break Hilda Baci’s record for the longest individual cooking marathon has sparked mixed reactions online after she reportedly turned off the gas while cooking.

    Adeyeye Adeola, who hails from Ondo state, started the cooking marathon a few days ago and plans to cook continuously for 150 hours. The cook-a-thon is presently holding at TMF Lounge and Bar in Ile Oluji, Ondo State, Nigeria.

    However, a video that recently emerged online suggests that the Ondo chef turned off the gas burner and comfortably ate one of the dishes she prepared.

    This seemingly contradicts one of the rules of Guinness World Record for the cook-a-thon which states that the participant must not turn off the gas burner during the marathon.

    “She cannot manipulate her score. They just want to transfer that scholarship to another person” – Father of student accused of forging her JAMB result speaks

    Father of student accused

    Mr Romanus Ejikeme, father of the Anambra student who was accused of forging her JAMB result, has spoken out amid the controversy surrounding his daughter.

    It was earlier reported that Ejikeme Mmesoma, a student of the Anglican Girls Secondary School, Nnewi in Anambra State, is being accused of inflating her result and falsely declaring herself as the top scorer for the 2023 UTME.

    According to the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Mmesoma’s actual score in the examination was 249, which is different from the 362 she has been claiming.

    Father of student accused

    In an interview with Leadership newspaper, Mmesoma’s father addressed the accusation and refuted the claims of his daughter falsifying her result.

    He further accused the board of attempting to siphon the N3 million scholarship she obtained from Innocent Chukwuma, the chairman of Innoson Motors.

    He also mentioned that his daughter has consistently demonstrated exceptional academic abilities and consistently came first position in her class. He added that he firmly believes his daughter is incapable of manipulating her result.

    Father of student accused

    His words,

    “We are from Oduma in Aninri local government in Enugu state, but we live in Uruagu, Nnewi. Mmesoma is my first child. She had always taken first position from the time she was in the nursery school at Ogbunike Central School.

    When she was at Oba Girls’ Secondary School, Mmesoma was representing the school in competitions. So when she changed to Anglican Girls’ Secondary School, her teachers in Oba Girls came and pleaded with me, begging me to retain her in their school; that she is promoting the name of their school.

    Mmesoma cannot manipulate her UTME score. I don’t believe what they are saying. They just want to transfer that scholarship to another person. That is why they are saying that Mmesoma did not make that score.

    It is even her (Mmesoma) friends that saw her score on the internet and started calling her before she went and printed it out. We have the print-out with us now.”

    Speaking further, Ejikeme expressed his concern over his daughter’s emotional state, sharing that she has been feeling extremely sad and even shedding tears since her visit to the commissioner of education, followed by her subsequent transfer to the DSS office.

    “How Anambra student Ejikeme Mmesoma forged her UTME result” – JAMB spokesperson reveals (Video)

    The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has maintained its stance that trending Anambra student, Ejikeme Mmesoma, inflated her result in the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

    The board, had in a statement released on Sunday, July 2nd, announced that Mmesoma, a student of the Anglican Girls Secondary School, Nnewi in Anambra State, inflated her result and falsely proclaimed herself as the top scorer for the 2023 UTME.

    According to JAMB, Mmesoma’s actual score in the examination was 249, contrary to the 362 she has been claiming.

    However, in a video, the girl denied forging the result, noting that the allegation against her by JAMB has left her traumatized.

    Despite Mmesoma’s insistence that she did not forge her result and that the result she’s parading was printed from JAMB’s official website, Fabian Benjamin, the spokesperson of JAMB, reiterated in an interview with Leadership that no candidate scored 362 in the 2023 UTME.

    Regarding how the board determined that the result Mmesoma was parading is fake, Benjamin stated that the QR Code on the result she was holding showed that it belonged to a candidate who sat for the exam in 2021, and that candidate scored 138.

    The JAMB spokesperson alleged that Mmesoma had edited someone else’s result and started parading herself as the highest scorer of the 2023 UTME.

    He also claimed that the design of the result Mmesoma has with her is different from what JAMB used for the 2023 UTME candidates.

    “Immediately the result was released, she checked her result. Instead of sending ‘result’ to 55019 to view her result, she sent ‘UTME’ to the code. But because the phone number she is using is a unique identifier, the machine then sent her the result.

    She then doctored the result the way she wanted it and sent it back to the USSD code. The code also returned her original result again. She sent it like four times and got her original result,” he said in part.

    “She used me” – Actor, Yomi Fabiyi opens up on relationship with colleague, Mo Bimpe (Video)

    Popular Nollywood actor and producer, Yomi Fabiyi, has once again spoken about his ongoing feud with his colleague, Mo Bimpe.

    During a recent interview, Yomi opened up on how he met Bimpe in 2016 and how their relationship took a turn leading to a fallout, while debunking reports that their disagreement was because he requested sex in exchange for a role from Mo Bimpe.

    According to Yomi, in 2016, Mo Bimpe was a staunch fan who always expressed her love for his works. Impressed by her passion, he decided to cast her in a movie he was working on at the time, despite her having no prior experience in acting.

    Yomi narrated the series of events that led to their fallout, recounting how, after shooting the last scene of the movie in Abeokuta, Bimpe insisted on returning to Lagos with a different actor other than Yomi who brought her.

    Yomi Fabiyi went on to clarify that he had no contact with Mo Bimpe until 2019 when she reached out to him for her own movie. To his surprise, he found out that she had gathered his entire crew behind his back to work on the movie, which he saw as a betrayal.

    Yomi Fabiyi repeatedly emphasized that there was no sexual relationship between him and Mo Bimpe, asserting that he solely trained her in the profession and was responsible for her rise to stardom.

    He accused Bimpe of using him to gain popularity and claimed that she completely changed after that.
