The handsome looking actor, who is well known for his role in Nigerian TV drama series, “Spider“, Seun Akindele, got married today to his heartthrob, Toun, today, 9th of July 2016.
The actor had his wedding in Lagos earlier in the day – congratulations to the couple as we wish a happy married life now and forever!
Way before his ceremony today, he had flooded his Instagram with stunning pre-wedding photos that warmed our hearts. See them below:
Ovation Publisher, Dele Momodu in a piece on ThisDay Column this week wrote about the quality of appointments from the Buhari-Led Government, describing it as ‘appallingly lacklustre’.
Momodu alse also criticized the way the president broke the Ramadan fast with so much fanfare at the State House and talked about Buhari’s new fashion sense, calling it ‘overly flamboyant’.
Read the write up below:
“I’m back this week with my weekly epistle to fellow Nigerians and Africans. You must be wondering about the title of my article today, especially the word “they” and who it refers to ultimately.
You don’t have to guess too much as I will explain to you in a jiffy. The “they” are those groups of men and women who litter the corridors of power in our dear beloved country Nigeria.
They are some wonderful people who understand how to manoeuvre their ways through the labyrinth of power. They are professional hijackers who know how to hold powerful people, particularly our leaders, hostage. Nigerians usually call them the cabal or Mafia or whatever nomenclature is in vogue at the time. Truth is, they exist in reality.
What is often baffling is that these folks perch like rattlesnakes and pounce at the slightest opportunity on the men of power. They inflict their poison and, sooner than later, their victim begins to behave unusually, even sometimes irrationally.
The more the poison permeates the body, the more the victim sinks deeper into the abyss and onlookers begin to observe a complete transformation and transfiguration.
Surprisingly, these guys were and are never around during the struggles. Once the struggle is over, they crawl out of whatever holes they were ensconced in whilst things were hot! And they soon become the greatest beneficiaries of a campaign they never partook of. Trust me, every government has them. If you ask me, it is one reason most of our governments have failed so spectacularly.
My preamble is predicated on my deep observation of what is going on in Nigeria at the moment. I can say I know President Muhammadu Buhari reasonably well even if I was a latter day convert to Buharism.
But once I got hooked like a drug addict, I was ready to go the whole hog and I have never looked back. Buhari’s appeal is based on his populist credentials. We all saw him as a man of the people and a Mr Scrooge who would never waste scarce resources on frivolities.
But the “they” of Nigeria have repackaged Baba to the extent that many now refer to him as the “Gucci President”. Every fashion designer’s delight, as he has become a veritable fashion trendsetter. Of course, this is not to denigrate the President because his previous austere style suits him as much as his now trendy look becomes him! The fact is that by his handsome, gangling and fit nature, the President will always appear impeccably turned out and well groomed. However, now, his paraphernalia of power has become somehow bloated and overly flamboyant as well. How are the mighty changing!
The existing theory is that President Buhari has inadvertently fallen victim of political 419ners who have persuaded him about how powerful a Nigerian President is and why he must play the part always by being overtly fashionable. I’m sorry to say that they are stylishly setting Baba up for monumental failure.
I expect their agents to swarm the internet and abuse anyone who dare say anything about the grand scam currently going on but it won’t be strange.
Every government I have known since I became an adult had such acolytes to sing their praises and hold them up as infallible. But no sooner than the baton of power changes than they disappear only to reappear sometime and somewhere in the no distant future screaming adulations of the unsuspecting new leader.
I vividly remember the period of the Shehu Shagari Presidency. The poor teacher and humble farmer could do no wrong. There was a popular Yoruba song specially composed and sang for him: “Oluwa lo yan Shagari, Shehu Shagari…” Shagari’s apotheosis was instantly assured. Those who saw the rot in the outlandishly profligate government were tagged dangerous dissidents and told to shut their traps up. Wole Soyinka, our own William Shakespeare, was one of the most vociferous critics at the time.
As days climbed days and months rode on months, the Shagari government became neurotic and saw enemies everywhere real or imagined. Out of fear for its safety and stability, the Nigeria Police Force was over-militarised as if in competition with the Nigerian Army. We watched incredulously as the police under the iron grip of probably the most powerful Inspector-General Police Nigeria ever employed, Mr Sunday Adewusi, became ostensibly omnipotent. The Shagari government controlled the heavens and the earth. The 1983 general elections was the last straw that broke the back of that government.
The end came on December 31, 1983. A terse announcement by a relatively unknown soldier at the time, named Sani Abacha, shattered the invincibility of the Shagari regime into smithereens. A new Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari and his ‘deputy’, Babatunde Idiagbon were promptly installed.
They in turn wasted no time in pronouncing the direction of their government which was predicated on ‘war against indiscipline’ (WAI). That war encapsulated everything that was wrong with Nigeria. While it was a worthwhile, expedient and necessary move, the government failed to understand the complexity of Nigerians.
Our people love the concept of change in the metaphysical sense but not in any way that hurts them and their families or friends. That was the reality that soon hit Buhari and Idiagbon like thunderbolts. While they were busy jailing and punishing the corrupt politicians, they were undoubtedly amassing enemies. They were goaded on by fifth columnists within and before long, it was time to strike. The end came on August 27, 1985.
The same Abacha who announced Buhari’s arrival pronounced his departure. It was such a cruel twist of fate. A supposedly friendlier, humane and urbane Head of State, Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, was catapulted on to the national stage. He was projected as Buhari’s fairer alter ego. He opened up the cells and disgraced and humiliated politicians in their various stages of dilapidation spilled out like locusts. Buhari immediately became the bad guy and Babangida the benevolent dictator.
Where Buhari was stern-faced, Babangida wore his famous toothy smile like the archetypal good guy. That was it. Everything Buhari had built got dismantled. The solid foundation of discipline and incorruptibility he was laying was uprooted in one fell swoop! Nigerians’ penchant for good life and happy living won the day.
It wasn’t long before the “they” started digging the grave for Babangida himself. He assembled arguably one of the best teams ever, no doubt, but it remains a mystery who his real advisers were that persuaded him to turn Nigeria into a game of football.
His sobriquet of Maradona, though very apt, was also an albatross. He dribbled so much and resorted to endless transition time tables. So much so, that he eventually dribbled himself into scoring an own goal. Politicians were banned and unbanned according to the whims and caprices of one man. When the elections eventually took place, on June 12, 1993, they were programmed to fail spectacularly.
Till this day no one knows what truly happened that led to our best elections ever being truncated and annulled. Pity that none of the influencers in the Nigerian polity could dissuade Babangida from committing this unfortunate and costly hara-kiri. Even worse, no one or group has come out to say they advised him against such perfidious act but he did not listen. Nigeria is yet to recover from that stupendous tragedy.
The fall came on August 27, 1993, when he suddenly stepped aside and handed over to a lame duck Interim National Government (ING) headed by Chief Ernest ‘Degunle Shonekan.
This government was as weak as they come. It lacked the liver to deliver on revalidating the annulled mandate freely given to the winner of the Presidential election, Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola.
This would have enjoyed the wide support of the people but sadly such opportunity was missed by the inept team and the interim government was soon sacked by General Sani Abacha. Babangida had apparently set up the ING with a view to returning as a civilian President but man proposes and God disposes. His nemesis was Abacha his erstwhile compatriot and friend!
The understanding when Abacha seized power in a military coup was that he was going to right the wrongs of the June 12 elections, clean up the remnants of the Babangida loyalists and give power back to the man elected freely by Nigerians.
That turned out to be a classic case of naiveté at its most ludicrous. The man simply collected power pronto and sat down pretty. No Jupiter was going to remove him from that gilded cage. The Abacha government failed like others to learn the lessons of history and most importantly that no leader had ever succeeded in enslaving Nigerians…
I’ve deliberately taken us down memory lane to demonstrate how the demons of power have sentenced Nigeria perpetually to stupidity and backwardness. And it seems a fool at 56 is almost irredeemable from its tomfoolery unless a miracle happens.
That’s the miracle we gave to President Buhari last year on a platter of gold after his fourth attempt. But things seem to be spiralling out of control. I know the President would be told all is well by those benefitting from the current state of things but, walahi, I will always tell Baba the truth. I’ve come to see him as the last hope of the masses and if he fails we all fail.
The first truth is that this government is looking too elitist and ceremonial. I’m not sure this is intentional. The amount of time, energy and resources being deployed on hosting this and that is becoming ridiculous. Whoever suggested that the President should break Ramadan fasts with so much fanfare did not do any good for a government with too many horrendous challenges.
If I had any influence in this government, I will advise that government needs to demonstrate its commitments and seriousness at tackling the intractable problems. We should see pictures of brainstorming sessions. We should have and see a brilliant economic team at work.
We should see the President supervising projects nationwide in his jackboots. We should see the President appointing the many Nigerian geniuses that litter every part of the world to assist him use the power God has bestowed on him to benefit ordinary Nigerians. The qualities of appointments we are seeing lately have become appallingly lacklustre. This is not the best Nigeria can offer.
I do not really care if even if all appointees come from Daura, I would leave that agitations to others, who may be myopic or selfish. I’m more interested in the merit, competence and patriotism of such people. President Buhari can make do with a star-studded team regardless of political and religious affiliations. It is never too late to CHANGE!
A ‘struggling’ married man identified as Mr Martin Nwosu reportedly ran way as his wife was at the verge of delivering a set of twins in Abuja.
The whole scenario started when the man reportedly told the wife to abort the pregnancy, saying that he did not want to have more babies, but the woman, Gloria Johnson, refused to abort the pregnancy.
While speaking to Tribune, Mrs Johnson said that months into her pregnancy, Nwosu packed out of the house owing to his inability to live up to his financial responsibility, including failure to pay his rent.
According to her,
“when I became pregnant, I told him, he was happy but a month after that, he changed. He used to give me N1,000, but he cut it down to N500, and I have a son for him already. Anytime I complained to him that the money was small, he would tell me that there was no work.
“In the long run, he stopped coming back to the house after work, and whenever I asked him why he didn’t come back to the house, he would tell me that he had no transport money.”
“We are owing the landlord, my husband said I should bring money, I told him that I didn’t have money because I fried akara and yam, he would become angry and said that I would get tired of the house, then he packed all his property and left the house.”
Johnson, who hails from Abak area of Akwa Ibom State, further said that when she was in labour, friends and neighbours of her husband tried getting across to him by phone to come and take her to the hospital, but he refused, until one of the neighbours took her to Asokoro General Hospital, Abuja.
She said that Asokoro General Hospital refused to take her in because she didn’t register with them, and that she was taken to another private hospital where she was also rejected.
“When I was in labour, people called him on phone to come and pick me, he refused, so our neighbours took me to Asokoro Hospital but I was not registered with them and they refused to accept me. Then they took me to another private hospital, where they rejected me again and we went to another hospital where I delivered.
“Throughout that period, I was calling my husband’s number but he switched off his phone. I delivered the twins by Cesarean Session (CS) and I lost a lot blood. I can’t feed them and I can’t pay the N150,000 hospital bill,” she added.
Tribune gathered that a NYSC member, identified as Onuoha Adenike signed undertaken to take the woman out of the hospital to raise her hospital bill.
As the new couple stepped onto the dancing floor last Saturday at a Lagos events centre, soon were they swarmed with family and friends who had come to rejoice with them on their memorable day.
The live band from Ibadan played both local and exoteric lyrics, while the couple and their guests danced, and danced, until their clothes were dampened with sweat.
When the couple had danced to the delight of everyone, then came the “naira rain,” a ritual in most ceremonies in the country, with some people even going as far as competing with themselves at parties.
The guests — with piles of cash in their hands — sprayed the money on the new couple as they kept on dancing, the groom now holding the waist of his bride. It was a moment of joy for the duo.
The band weren’t also left out of the money rain show as some of the guests sprayed on them. At this juncture, their music became more exhilarating and more dance steps followed.
Then came this man decked simply in a dry lace attire. After he was sure that he had secured a vantage position, a few metres away from the dancing duo, he did not raise his hand much but then, crisp N1000 notes began to fly up above everyone on stage, then cascading and targeting the new couple. It arrested everyone’s attention.
Even the couple could not hold their shock. They nearly became onlookers at their own show. Before long, so much naira notes had littered the stage. The money man appeared to have achieved his aim, a show stopper of sort.
On a closer look, the big man was holding a gun-like machine from which naira notes were flying out to the air.
The situation whereby Nigerians hold piles of cash in their hands while spraying money may soon become a thing of the past as the gun-like device appears to have come to displace the manual ritual.
Called the money gun or money sprayer or money spraying machine, the device looks like a toy and dispenses paper items — such as cash, flyers and confetti — in a rapid but user-controlled manner.
The device works by lifting the top cover open, placing the items in the loading compartment, aiming at the direction the items are to be dispensed, and then pulling its trigger.
The money gun uses a simple motor and rubber roller assembly that causes enough friction to move cash notes and other items smoothly out of the slot, with its ergonomic handle giving the user a good control of the loading compartment and the direction the items are to be released.
The squeeze trigger allows the user to control the frequency at which the items are dispensed.
The money gun also operates using one 9-volt battery and costs between $50 (N14,000) and $300 (N84,600), depending on its loading capacity and the manufacturer.
Saturday PUNCH learned that many socialites from around the world, including from Nigeria, have been buying the product, according to information displayed on the website of one of the manufacturers, but no specific details on how many Nigerians had ordered for it.
Apart from the gun-looking money sprayer, another device, which looks like a point of sale machine, is now also being adopted by Nigerian socialites to spray money at ceremonies.
Just a few days ago, a video emerged on the social media showing the Chairman of Five Star Music and musician Kcee’s younger brother, Emeka Okonkwo — popularly known as E-Money — using the money gun to spray tons of minty notes at the wedding ceremony of Nigerian footballer Onazi Ogenyi.
The video showed him bringing out the device and raining the couple with abundant cash while they danced.
In April, he was rumoured to have sprayed over N1m at the wedding ceremony of Nollywood actor Mike Ezuronye’s sister using the same device.
E-Money’s action, however, drew a lot of criticisms from some of his fans.
Marshall Onoriode with the Twitter handle @MarshallOnos said it seemed the money spraying gun was intentionally invented for Nigerians.
“If you feel the urge to dole out cash, why don’t you just wrap it up and give to whomever you want? Why shooting it up in the air? Now I understand how deeply the money spraying culture has eaten deeply into our psyche, but this moronic culture has to stop,” an anonymous nairaland.com user commented.
But another fan with the username Alexander said he saw no wrong in what the musician did.
“It’s his money, he could spend it the way he likes. If I’m rich, I will also spray money. Why do people always condemn others for showing off their wealth?” he said.
A Lagos-based social commentator, Mr. Akeem Olatunde also said of E-Money’s action,
“This is irresponsibility of the highest order, but who can blame him since flamboyance is his way? Bill Gates, who is the world’s richest man, could afford to have a bank empty its vault in a wedding, but humility wouldn’t let him do that.
“If he were to be a Nigerian, Facebook billionaire founder Mark Zuckerberg could make the naira notes become a carpet for dancing, but no, I’m sure he wouldn’t do that. Why do we keep embarrassing ourselves here? Money should be so valued to be spent anyhow. It must be respected.
“In the advanced countries where money laundering activities are closely monitored, if you spent money like that, they would pick you up. Why do we always buy anything they bring to us? I am sure in few months ahead, this is what many Nigerians will be using at ceremonies to spray money.”
Recently also, a Nigerian, Don Skimmy Yah, popularly known as Odoligie 1 of Europe, and his wife dedicated their daughter at a church in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
At the event, whose video also went viral on the social media, family and friends were seen spraying dollar and euro notes with the money spraying machine while some people watched in utter astonishment.
“At first when I saw the video, I thought it was a pastor spraying ‘holy water’ at the couple and their baby. It was on a closer look I saw it wasn’t water they were spraying, it was money. That’s the new thing for money sprayers,” he said, adding, “I think whoever manufactured this device did so because of us. They know we spray money a lot and since none of us ever thought of making a device like that, they did it for us. How shameful!”
The inventor of the money gun
The original intention of the money gun creator was not for spraying cash notes.
According to kickstarter.com, a site which crowds funds for entrepreneurs with novelty ideas, the idea of producing a money gun came from the American entrepreneur, Michael Schexnayder, who was born and raised in Louisiana, the United States.
He started selling second-hand electronics at age of 13 and even financed his college degree by fixing iPhones, iPads and other electronics for people.
Later on, he saw a need for a new, innovative way for businesses to promote their brands through the sharing of flyers, leaflets and others effortlessly.
With the advent of 3D printing for the modern consumers, his idea was within reach.
In order to properly develop his vision, Schexnayder needed a preliminary prototype to begin. So he grabbed an old toy gun along with his handy screwdriver kit and started tinkering with the device.
After a few short months and some intuitive modifications, a simple prototype was created. He showed it to a number of friends and they instantly fell in love with it.
It was then the prototype sparked another opportunity — the money gun should not be for just businesses, but could also be used to add a wow effect at parties.
Soon, Schexnayder hired a professional product designer to turn his vision into reality. After months of going back and forth, he approved the design and sent the schematics to a 3D printing company, and the money gun was born.
Since then, several other manufacturers, including from China, have been making money guns for people to use at clubs, parties and other social events.
What about ban on money spraying?
In 2006, former President Olusegun Obasanjo sent a Central Bank of Nigeria Bill to the National Assembly which sought to curtail the abuse of the naira.
The bill wasn’t signed into law until the following year after a heated debate in both chambers of the legislature and a televised public hearing.
The main theme of the law was around amendments to the independence of the CBN, but the section that ignited debate was Section 21(3), which states, “For the avoidance of doubt, spraying of, dancing or marching on the Naira or any note issued by the Bank during social occasions or otherwise howsoever shall constitute an abuse and defacing of the Naira or such note and shall be punishable under Sub-section (1) of this section.”
The law also state it constitutes an offence to hawk, sell or otherwise trade in the naira note or any other note issued by the Bank.
Spraying under the law also include adorning, decorating anything or any person or any part of any person with naira notes or coins.
The law also includes the sprinkling or sticking of the naira notes or coins regardless of the amount, occasion or intent and further explained the “marching” to include spreading, scattering or littering of any surface with any naira notes or coins and stepping thereupon.
Violation of the above would ‘attract an imprisonment for not less than six months or N50,000 fine or both.’
However, the law drew reactions from some Nigerians at the time, with many saying nobody could ban the spraying of money as it was tantamount to taking the juice out of ceremonies.
“I believe that the Nigerian culture has a flamboyance that is unmistakable. It matters not whether the Nigerians are from the North, West, East or South. Nigerians of all walks of life tend to be extravagant, dramatic and love to have a good time. And nowhere is this reality more obvious than in a special act reserved for Nigerian ceremonies and functions,” Funmi John wrote in Honolulu Magazine.
Up till now, the law has yet to be implemented, according to findings by Saturday PUNCH.
The CBN spokesperson Mr. Isaac Okoroafor told our correspondent that the ban on the spraying of naira was still valid, saying it was a prohibited action by virtue of the CBN Act 2007.
However, Okoroafor blamed the law enforcement agencies for not doing their job as to arresting the violators of the law.
He said, “The law is still valid. It is still prohibited to spray money at parties. It has not been repealed and it is still in force.
“But you know we are just a regulator in the banking industry, we have no powers to arrest violators. We don’t have the capacity. It is the duty of the enforcement agencies to enforce the law.
“We keep reminding Nigerians that the ban is still on by the CBN Act 2007 and violating it is punishable by imprisonment and/or fine.”
Bolaji Odojukan, aka BOJ, is the latest guest on “Da Chat” with Zinnia. This new episode has the rising and super-talented singer and songwriter talk about a “plot” against Africa’s number one music export, Wizkid.
BOJ also throws shade at Nollywood household name, Ini Edo, claiming he has never head of her before. He talks about how he had to go and register his name after another Nigerian artist picked up the name.

Things also get pretty much interesting when Zinnia mumbles someone’s name as BOJ’s potential crush.
HKN’s Davido and His Crew are in Congo. Davido who was scheduled to perform at a Congo show last night fortunately couldn’t.
The superstar shared details on his snapchat this morning explaining how a riot broke out between the Police force and his fans. He also added that one of the people that were supposed to open for him got raped as a result.
In a video posted on his Snapchat he stated that his band got scattered and they had to leave the venue.
That didn’t stop Davido and his crew from having a good time in Congo though. In another video he shared with fans that his money bag was safe from all the drama and they were still going out to enjoy Congo.
New information has been made available which shows that Peter Okoye of the Psquare duo knew about the concert in Congo, for which he has threatened to sue their former manager and older brother, Jude Okoye.
Peter had earlier called out Jude for booking a concert, which according to him, he “never endorsed the usage of my name as the contractual terms presented were not favourable to me,”.
Peter just took to his Instagram page to share a photo of the show’s bill art, with a disclaimer that read:
“DISCLAIMER This goes out to all my Fans in Congo Specifically, and the entire world in General. My attention has been drawn to a much publicised show holding today 8th July, 2016(VIP SHOW) and tomorrow 9th July, 2016,(in Goma) and on the 17th of August in Kinshasa wherein the name Psquare was used maliciously and mischievously to garner patronage and huge fans attendance as against the stage name Rudeboy which is used when my Twin Brother, Paul, and Co-owner of the stage name Psquare performs alone.
I never endorsed the usage of my name as the contractual terms presented were not favourable to me, thus I am not part of the show booked by our former manager, Jude and I wholeheartedly disassociate myself from the unauthorized use of my Co-owned stage name (Psquare) and images for promotional and economic reasons without my express written consent or permission.
“Contrary to the wild allegations making the rounds that I could not attend the show because I am sick and missed my flight along with my crew members, I wish to counter same and state categorically, that I am 101% healthy. I shall take appropriate legal actions in the nearest future against the character assassination and malicious misrepresentation. Thank you. MR.P (Peter of Psquare)”
But a new video which was made available to Linda Ikeji shows that Peter Okoye knew about the concert, and even made a promotional video with his brother Paul, stating his involvement in the show.
According to the promoters of the event, they claim he waited until they commenced the promotion on a large scale, before giving them outrageous conditions and then pulled out and went online to do a disclaimer.
Watch the video of Peter Okoye promoting the Congo show with his brother Paul below.
Remember the busty lady who went viral after pictures of herself and her ‘Frontyard’ hit the net? She has finally spoken out!
Read What she said below:
Eventual all things fall into place. Until then, laugh at the confusion, live for the moments, and know everything happens for a reason – Albert Schweizer.
Hmmmn little did I realized that the surest way to know whether you are a modern being is to forget your mobile phone at home. If you are unable to go back home to fetch it immediately, your outing on that day is incomplete.
When I decided to completely do away with my smart phone because I wanted to live a natural life in the city and to do away with the deceit of the modern life. Then I realized what a psychologist told me concerning habit. She said before character becomes a habit, one must have constantly practicing such for more than eleven times after which is difficult to do away with .
In my own case, I have been using cell phone for more than fourteen years now. I guess this is part of the reasons I was unable to complete my task. I lived without smart phone for close to five months and I really enjoyed a secluded life which afforded me the opportunity to use my pen and my God gifted intuition to solve problems rather than ask Google. When I went through a copy of the letter I sent to my intimate friend in UK, I was impressed. How I wish those days without smart phone could come into existence again.
A very big sorry to my friends who swiftly try to reach me when a blogger created news out of no news. I believe we really don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are. It’s on this that I want to narrate what really happened on Wednesday, 6th of April.
I was on my way from DHL office in Victoria Island to get my rollex wrist watch which I ordered for. While I was coming back from VI an agent whom I’ve directed to get me a shop where I can display my artistic talent, since am unable to secure any office employment since I left university five years ago, called to inform me there was a vacancy at computer village.
Could it have been my wish that after my university education, the only available job for me is to source to rent a shop? I settle for this because I realized that after climbing a great hill, one only finds out that there are many more hills to climb.
I was at Computer Village solely for this reason.
It’s almost becoming a natural occurrence that wherever there are assemblies of guys and I happen to be sighted, I must cease the show.
I guess these habits display by most guys towards beautiful lady especially those that highly endowed are not alien as most of us must have had similar experience. This is what happened when one quark online photo reporter who couldn’t have the required skills to nose for news purportedly created news out of no news. My layman understanding of journalism is ‘When dog bits man is not a news but it’s a news when man bits a dog. News is simply reporting the unusual. Pls what is unusual in what happened at Computer Village that day? I challenge the superior of that quark journalist to always dot the i and cross the t because her reputable might be tested and when that’s done….
A closer study at the background of the posted picture would reveal that such scenario always happens to ladies and would continue as long as men and women are created to complement one another. I want to sound a note of warning here that I don’t want anyone to drive my popularity since am neither an actress nor musician. Why on earth do I need such popularity. Enough of this!
I tender my unreserved apology to friends and family who felt uncomfortable seeing such pictures going viral. You all know me for my modest life, believe me it hasn’t changed. Olorun yio ma sho wa ni owo eni ti ako sho. I wrote this piece for those who thought I masterminded it and to appeal to my immediate family that I know nothing about the ugly situation.
All of us are products of the same childhood experience. And the same blood flows in my vein. Therefore, there’s no how I could mastermind such. If not for an in-law journalist who advised that I should let the sleeping dog lies, Linda Ikeji would have by now been sued. Am afraid, shouldn’t we all support the social media bill. I vote in support of the bill. #enjoyingdoingmything #focusonmyfuture #LaberrCollections

A randy pastor has impregnated a 21-year-old girl identified as Fundiswa Lekhula from Ipopeng kasi in Mangaung in South Africa.
The 21-year-old Funsiwa who is currently five weeks pregnant claims the 50-year-old pastor identified as Attie Kgware tricked her into love. Funsiwa told Daily Sun SA that pastor Attie Kgware, promised to marry her and buy her a new car. She claims he insisted on unprotected s*x.
Speaking with DailySun, Fundiswa said: “He told me his sperm was holy and would bring positive results to my life.
“I was a member of Your Choice Christian Ministries church and in January the pastor started telling me my boyfriend was bewitching me. I got confused and he took advantage of me because I trusted him as a man of God.”
She claimed he told her mother he wanted to marry her.
“We started dating and he promised me a new car – before, during and after we had s*x.”
She claimed she was studying Industrial Psychology but Attie made her stop.
“He said he would sell his bakkie to settle my university fees. He wanted to leave Bloemfontein and go to Tlokwe, where he wanted me to enrol in a nursing course,” Fundiswa said.
“Now I am pregnant and he doesn’t want anything to do with me.”
Another pastor, Vusi Masiya, who is a car salesman, said Attie told him he wanted to buy a car for Fundiswa.
“I asked him what was happening between him and the young woman and he did not answer me. I know that he is a married man and that makes me ashamed to be a pastor,” said Vusi.
Attie’s wife, Bogolo (47) said Fundiswa was just the church secretary and had never been in a relationship with her husband.
Attie told Daily Sun: “If she is pregnant, why does she go to the media? She should contact her uncles and they must write a letter to the elders. She is angry that I did not sell my bakkie. I have never slept with her.”

A teacher of the Faith Academy, Gowon Estate, Lagos, has reportedly been charged to court after a pupil she flogged sustained serious injuries
The tutor, identified simply as Mrs. Onakoya, reportedly flogged Michael Modupe, a JS3 pupil after a misdemeanour, leaving him with cane marks and serious injuries.
A source close to the family told our correspondent that the parents of the boy were shocked to see their son with his skin peeled off by cane.
“The boy was beaten ruthlessly because he went to the bathroom without the teacher’s permission. He was beaten almost to a state of coma for not obtaining the permission of the teacher. He said he tried to explain but she flogged him mercilessly.
“The beating was so severe that he had to be taken to a hospital for checks. The parents have commenced legal action against the teacher to serve as a deterrent because we know that she could not have flogged her own child like that,’’ she said.
Meanwhile, the Principal, Mr. Ishola Ayoade, has denied knowledge of the suit. While admitting that the incident happened, Ayoade said the school had written a letter to the parents to resolve the matter.
“When you are a soldier, you should not be surprised to hear the sounds of gunshots. There are peculiarities of running a school and the teacher involved has been sanctioned. We are not aware that the teacher has been sued. The school has written the parents and the sanctions given to the teacher was communicated to them.
“As a mission school, discipline cannot be compromised but there are procedures to follow. We do not condone indiscipline from both teachers and pupils. There are times that pupils will anger you so much that you will misbehave if you are not careful. The teacher has been sanctioned but it is an internal matter such that the details cannot be discussed with you,’’ he said.

He said:
“This is a blatant lie! In fact, the reverse is even the case. I can’t even remember the last time I spoke to her; it probably was sometime last year. I have never called her since this controversy started. But she has been the one calling me. I have a lot of evidence to prove this.”
When asked if there are chances of them reconciling, Niyi said
“I would rather not talk about it. But I have to tell you that in a few weeks, things will unfold.

In a video which lists the names of the officers that lost their lives, the singer wrote:
Rest in peace to the officers whose lives were senselessly taken yesterday in Dallas. I am praying for a full recovery of the seven others injured. No violence will create peace.

To effect change we must show love in the face of hate and peace in the face of violence.
A police officer has been critically injured after he was reportedly ‘ambushed‘ and shot during a traffic stop in Missouri.
The white officer, who has not been named, was fired at three times by 31-year-old black man Antonio Taylor, police in St Louis said.
The cop had his back turned when Taylor ‘advanced quickly‘ from behind, leaving him ‘completely helpless‘, St Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said.
The cop was walking back to his car after pulling over the motorist when he was attacked, Ballwin Police Chief Kevin Scott said.
The officer was going back to his vehicle to check the driver’s details when he got out of the vehicle and fired three times, the police chief said.
The officer ‘had no chance at all’ to pull his handgun and ‘was completely helpless,’ Scott added, noting that the incident was recorded by the police car’s dashcam.
Taylor allegedly sped away after the shooting and was arrested four miles away after his car was spotted by an officer from a neighboring police department.
St Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch said there was no evidence of any dispute between Taylor and the officer before the gunfire.
