Whether I’m a musician or not, real life is happening.
“It’s only right to take that step…I’ve played enough in my life, I’ve enjoyed enough in my life, I’ve done the wrong things enough in my life so it’s time to really focus on the things that matter, things that will grow you and prosper you rather than things that will eventually bring you down.” he added.

Two graduates identified as Desmond Quadri and Richard Orji, have been apprehended by the Lagos State Police Command for allegedly raping a woman in the Ajah area.
PUNCH Metro learnt that the suspects had attended a party together where they had some bottles of alcoholic drink.
After the party, 24-year-old Quadri was said to have gone into the bush to defecate and was accompanied by his friend, Orji, 25.The men, who had reportedly been friends for eight years, were said to have spotted the victim in her room alone and sneaked into the compound.
Orji was alleged to have stabbed the 32-year-old in the shoulder and thigh, before taking her phones, Ipad, perfumes and other personal effects.
Not done, the suspects allegedly took turns to rape her for about half an hour before leaving her for dead.Residents were said to have taken her to the hospital and reported the matter at the Ajah Police Division.
The publication gathered that the case was transferred to the Anti-Robbery Squad, State Department of Criminal Investigation, which began trailing the suspects. The suspected rapists were said to have been caught after selling the victim’s phones.
A source said:
“After they committed the crime, they fled and thought that was the end of the case. They sold one of the woman’s phone to someone. We were able to track the phone and get that person arrested. The buyer led us to them. They did not deny the crime.”
While Quadri claimed to be a graduate of Business Administration from a polytechnic in Ogun State, his accomplice, Orji, said he hailed from Delta State and studied Banking and Finance at a polytechnic in Delta State.
Quadri, an indigene of Abia State, said they were drunk on the night of the incident, adding that he had no criminal record and had never abused a woman in his life.
He said, “It was around 10pm on Sunday night at Ajah that the incident happened. We went for a festival and became drunk. We later felt we should go to a hotel to have another drink.
“On the way, I went to a nearby bush to defecate. After I was done, we saw that the house opposite the bush had no gate or any form of security. We decided to enter the building. We observed that there was a lady in her room alone.
“We saw that her kitchen did not have any burglar-proof bar, so we entered through the kitchen. I was outside watching to know if anybody would come, while Orji was inside.”
He said his mate, Orji, stabbed the victim with a knife and she screamed, adding that he immediately went inside to join him.
Orji said they took her phones, tablets, and other effects and took turns to rape her.
“We were drunk. I cannot say if it was the drink or something else. But I can tell you that we allowed the devil to take complete control of us,” he said.
The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, Fatai Owoseni, said the victim was in the hospital, adding that she was responding to treatment.
“The woman was taken to the hospital after the incident and she is responding to treatments. The suspects will be taken to court latest tomorrow,” he said.

A model from Slovakia who allegedly shot her British millionaire ex-boyfriend, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison after she was found guilty of his murder by a Spanish court.
Mayka Kukucova was sentenced to 15 years for murder and another six months for breaking into her ex-boyfriend’s house in Marbella, where the murder took place.
The 26-year-old claimed she had “never meant to hurt” former gold dealer Andrew Bush, saying he had died during a violent struggle.
Prosecutors said Kukucova shot the 48-year-old twice in the head and once in the shoulder. The court also ordered her to pay €200,000 to the victim’s daughter and sister, as well as court costs.
Last Friday, Kukucova told the Ciudad de la Justica court in Malaga that Bush had threatened her with a gun.
“The gun just went off. I only wanted to break free from his grasp,” she said.
The jury heard how the businessman had returned unexpectedly early from the UK to his home with his new girlfriend, Maria Korotaeva, to find Kukucova in his Costa del Sol home. Mr Bush and Kukucova had broken up about a month before the killing after a relationship of more than two years.
Kukucova said she was simply collecting her belongings but prosecutors argued she had “an unmistakable desire to end Andrew Bush’s life“.
When he saw Kukucova was there, Mr Bush told Korotaeva to go outside.
She fled to Slovakia, but turned herself in to police four days after the killing. She was extradited to Spain a month later.
Nollywood actor, Osita Iheme, alias PawPaw has responded to allegations that he and his ‘twin’ in the industry, Chinedu Ikedieze alias Aki, are having some misunderstanding which sprung up after the latter got married.
There had been speculations that the duo are at loggerheads as they haven’t been seen together in movies and social gatherings ‘as usual’.
Denying the reports, the Imo state-born told the Sun:
“There is nothing really going on between us. There is no movie to feature both of us so we have been doing our stuff separately. If any producer wants us together in his movie, then we shall do it as usual.”
When asked why he is still enjoying life as a bachelor when Aki has been married for over six years, Pawpaw said he was taking his time.
The ‘Brain Box’ actor said,
“Marriage is not a step to be taken because other people are taking it.
“Even if the person is your twin, you don’t have to do it just because he did it. It is something you do when you are ready. I’ll take that step when I’m fully ready,” the 33-year-old comic actor stated.
Once upon a time Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar has urged the Nation’s citizens to give Head of States, President Muhammadu Buhari a “pass mark” for his efforts in the first year of his administration.
The former V.P made the call on Tuesday in Abuja at the launch of a book titled “We Are All Biafrans” written by Chido Onumah. Atiku, who was chairman at the occasion, noted of the five areas the Buhari administration pledged to face, he has accomplished two and should be encouraged.
“He promised to look into issues like power, insurgency, unemployment, corruption and diversification and if you are to take two out of five, you can give him a pass mark.“He has dealt with corruption and with Boko Haram. For power, give him time,’’ he said.
Ghanaian movie icon, Majid Michael, says he now believes in the existence of God and had been a fool all the while to have thought in the contrary.
Micheal who said he had been an agnostic/atheist revealed he has had an epiphany and now believes that a God, ultimate designer of all things exists and is very much alive.
The actor took to the social media to reveal this, stating that the realization of God’s existence just hit him.
The ‘Forbidden Fruit’ actor wrote:
“Lord God I have never spoken to you. But now I want to say…how do you do? You see God, they told me you didn’t exist and like a fool I believed all this. Last night from standing outside, I saw your sky and I figured right then they had told me a lie.
“Had I taken time to see the things you made I’d have known they weren’t calling a spade a spade. I wonder God if you’ll take my hand. Somehow I feel that U’d understand. Funny I had to come to this hellish place before I had time to see your face.
“Well I guess there isn’t much more to say but I’m sure glad God I met you today. Like the zero hour will soon be here but I’m not afraid since I know you are near. The signal… well…God I’ll have to go. I like you lots I want you to know. Looks like this will be a horrible fight who knows, I may come to your house tonight.
“Though I wasn’t friendly to you before I wonder God if U’ll wait at your door. Look I’m crying, I’m shedding tears I’ll have to go now God, goodbye…. Strange…now, since I met you, I’m not afraid to die . #LEADERSHIP.
The ‘Agege’ bread seller-turned-model, Olajumoke Orisaguna, has rebuked people who reportedly claim celebrity photographer, TY Bello intends to exploit her innocence and make money off her.
Reports making the rounds have it that TY Bello who discovered Olajumoke when she appeared on the cover of her magazine shoot, is out to exploit and use her (Olajumoke).
Recall that TY Bello, upon the discovery, employed the bread seller as a model and changed her life for the better, ranging from a personal apartment to other benefits.
The chocolate-skinned model told the Punch that those alleging the photographer was ‘using’ her, are wicked as TY Bello has never collected a dime from her.
She said, “No, I don’t think so. Till date, none of them has collected any money from me or whoever signs me on any contract.
“Immediately I came on board, I had a bank account opened in my name and I’m the only signatory. Everywhere we go for any modelling contract, Aunty Azuka insists that cash should be paid to my account and not by hand.
“In fact, I am the one collecting from the two women. I would go to Mummy TY’s house, play, eat and she gives me and my children things. Even Aunty Azuka does that too whenever I visit her.
“They don’t have my money with them and I believe whoever said that must be wicked. These are people who God used to take me to where I am today.”
On what she has done with the money realized so far, she said “I am saving money for me and also for my children’s future. Mind you, modelling is not forever and it’s seasonal.
“I am saving my money because I don’t want to sell bread again and I don’t want my children to suffer anymore.”
Asked if she plans to make more children,” the mother of two said “Yes, but that will be a very long time from now. Right now, I have to care for my two kids and face my job and school.”
So, yesterday being the last day in May, an intense debate kicked off on Comedian Akpororo’s Instagram page after he shared a clip of the kid comedian Emmanuella, to inform fans that the child star will be headlining his show scheduled to hold in Port Harcourt.
While many people were impressed by the child’s career growth, a few feared that the adults in her life could be exploiting her for profit, plus these performances at top shows could have an adverse effect on her academics.
See the exchange:
But are those worried about the 5-year-old’s well-being overreacting? Really? ‘Cos I personally feel Emmanuella can’t run her career on her own! She’s five years of age…she’d need “Someone” to thread her on that part.
Recall, in a chat with Naij, Mark Angel who discovered young Emmanuella admitted that the career path is gravelly affecting the child’s academics.
When Annie Idibia took to her Instagram to make controversial posts, calling out unnamed mother(s) who use their children against their fathers, some of her fans assumed she was targeting the mother of 2baba’s three children, Pero Adeniyi.
Now, a lady who alleges she is Pero’s sister is embroiled in a messy fight with Annie, accusing the actress of ‘sending evil messages’ to Pero’s children, plus refusing 2baba the opportunity of seeing his other children.
But Annie vehemently denies these accusations. In her rebuttal, the BeOlive Hair CEO said she was not targeting anyone. “I ain’t throwing no shades,” Annie replied, before asking the lady to leave her page.
This brings to mind Annie’s interview with Motherhood In-Style where she praised Sumbo (the mother of 2baba’s sons, Nino and Zion), but had ‘civil’ words when asked about Pero Adeniyi.
Pero and 2baba caught kissing in a Lagos club in 2015.
When asked about her relationship with Sumbo and Pero, here’s what Annie said:
On Sumbo: ‘I love my boys. I wish I could share the same with the others…I have a very good relationship with the boys and their mum. My daughter has a good relationship with their mum too.’
On Pero: ‘I try to keep it civil with everybody; I make sure I am accessible enough. The kids come visiting. I try to be civil in a way that they are comfortable with allowing their kids to visit their dad. I mean, I’m cool if you’re cool.”
Although Pero Adeniyi is yet to speak up, it would seem that the claims have some substance to them.
Skales and his Manager Osagie have allegedly been remanded in Police Custody after confessing to various charges of fraud and diversion of Baseline Records funds.
They are currently assisting the Police in unraveling the extent of the fraud running into tens of millions of naira. And this story is according to Wale Ewedemi, an inside source for Baseline records.
Wale wrote on Instagram that at the inception of the contract, Skales was given a fully furnished luxury apartment in Lekki in a gated estate, with a brand new customized SUV. And a multimillion Naira sign on Fee.
The record label also gave him a free hand to select and run his brand, supported by a multimillion naira corporate expense account.
Skales behavior has reduced the appetite of the Record label to assist other young talents to achieve their full potential.
Freeze CoolFM shared his thoughts about the incident saying:
@kaylahoniwo and I talked about this on @coolfmlagos today on the #RoadShow.
Many of these artistes are from the hood. One small hit and they upgrade their transportation from Marwa and Molue to a 2006 Range Rover or G wagen with 2014 bodykit, then they upgrade their housing from mushin or Aj city to LEKKI phase one….
But the problem is they don’t upgrade their minds!!! They do business with intelligent and witty entrepreneurs while using their ‘Molue mentality’, not realizing that a contract is a contract and GRA-GRA cannot break it!
The other day DJ Zeez was asked to pay his record label N21m, then the vector issue, then Runtown was issued a court injunction restraining him from performing and now skales allegedly sleeping inside police cell!!
Upcoming artistes abeg make una learn how to read book, no be everything be swag, no be everything be gra-gra! Please don’t jump and sign your life away for a plate of porridge!
UPGRADE YOUR MINDS!!!! Still trying to get Osagie and Skales for their own side of the story so expect more updates tomorrow…. In the meantime remember to read whatever u sign o! And make sure u have a good lawyer…..
Nollywood actor Charles Inojie and his wife Obehi have just welcomed their second child, a baby girl on Wednesday, May 25 in Decatur, Georgia, US.
The couple who got married on November 2012 in Benin City named the child Onoseta. Disclosing the news, Obehi recalled he difficulties she encountered before finally conceiving.
She said:
“Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. God is wonderful, he blessed me with another beautiful baby 2 days ago, he made it possible for me to sing a new song again, our God is good! When you are waiting on the Lord for something good to happen, please don’t give up, He will surely answer you. I never knew what it meant to wait on the Lord until he taught me how. Since my first daughter became a year old, I have been praying for another baby, it took quiet a long time before it happened. During that time, I was worried, delayed periods meant miscarriages to me, my mum wasn’t helping matters, “Obehi is old enough to have a sibling, what are you waiting for? Born them sharp sharp, make you rest once” she had no idea what I was going through, I prayed and prayed, cried and cried, then it happened. My period was a week late but I was too scared to confirm my status, then I tried my ovulation test kit, it gave me a smiley face I shouted and rushed off to tell hubby, he said calm down, take this money, he was just giving me a lot of money that morning neither of us knew how much, he told me to go to the nearest clinic for confirmation, as I was driving down, my heart start to beat, I said to myself, I should ve been quiet about this, what if I just raised hubby’s hope for nothing?
“ God reassured me that because He is King over all, everything is beautiful. As soon as my result came out of the lab, my eyes automatically became xrays, I scanned through the paper in the nurse’s hand from afar and I saw *positive* I asked her from where I was sitting, “positive abi? ” she said yes. Ha mo’gbe o, I screamed the whole clinic down and hugged her so tight, I gave the nurse money to buy lunch for herself and the rest of her colleagues. You see, when we take in easily, we don’t know what God has done for us, until we start to hear stories of how many women, are trying hard for the same thing you got so easily. Always be grateful, no matter what, your morning will surely come, keep believing, your testimony will come. All the challenges I had during this pregnancy are long forgotten since my bundle of joy arrived, thank u Lord” she wrote happily.
Annie Idibia took to Instagram to make controversial posts, calling out unnamed mother(s) who are using their children against their father.
“It takes a selfish woman to use their kids against their father. You may be hurting the father, but you are hurting the little girl more, shame on you!” Said the meme she posted, which she captioned with a strongly worded statement.
Read Annie’s own words:
“[I] am all about child abuse for the last few weeks… And I realize that they are so many forms of it! Even as parent we do this without even knowing!!!
Let’s love our children more than the situations!!! Shout out to all the separated parent /EX who don’t stress the other parent over seeing their own kid!!! God bless you.. Your reward is bigger and it is in heaven…
Annie also gave a special shout out to 2baba’s babymama Sunmbo, the mother of the singer’s son Nino. “God bless u real big@s/o to @sunmbo great woman,” she said.
And that’s not all.
The actress and entrepreneur posted series of memes, all on same topic about parents who hurt their children just to get back at the other parent.
See the posts:
It is unclear who Annie is referring to, though people are already making a few guesses, with some making unfounded claims that the posts are targeted at Pero Adeniyi, the mother of three of 2baba’s seven children.
Brent Hail is a Jacksonville resident and Tyler firefighter.
He recently traveled to Africa for the first time to visit with missionaries who are supported by Fellowship Bible Church in Jacksonville has narrated the shocking experience of a Northerner for converting from Islam to christianity in the northern Nigeria.
He wrote:
“This story is about a man named Musa, who, this past January, almost lost his life for converting to Christianity. As we headed northeast in northern Nigeria, I could tell that we were heading into areas that were almost completely Muslim. We were traveling to the village where it happened. I had heard about Musa and his incredible story through one of the missionaries our church supports.
“Four hours later we finally pull up to the spot where it all happened. Musa walked us to the mud house where it all took place. He began by telling us that two years ago he became a Christian as a result of one of the outreaches to his village.
“Most of the village was either pagan or Muslim, so when he converted he was seen as an outsider of sorts. Let me say quickly that Islam is not the enemy here. There is a much bigger enemy who uses Islamic radicals to carry out horrible things against people.
“After his conversion, Musa told people in his village that he was a Christian and that he wanted them to know that Jesus truly cared and loved them. The leaders of the village didn’t like that, so they were going to make it difficult for him.
“They took his wife and married her to another man in the same village. They then approached him with a large sum of money wanting to denounce his faith and come back to Islam, but Musa refused. They then brought him several women for the same purpose, but he still refused.
“One night, two people from his village came to his mud hut at midnight, kicked in his door and told him that this was going to be his last night on earth. One of them had a gun. As the man fired, Musa reached around to feel the exit hole from the bullet, but it wasn’t there. The man was standing approximately five feet away, so surely he couldn’t have missed.
“As Musa was crying out to Jesus to save him, the man then swung a machete. Musa put up his left arm in defense, and the machete cut off his left hand. The man swung again, this time cutting off his right thumb. Musa said he suddenly felt a surge of power come over him, and he was able to punch the guy with the arm, which was missing his hand, knocking him down.
“Musa ran to his neighbor’s house where the wife answered the door, and fainted after seeing what had happened to him. The husband then took him to the Christian church that was about a half mile away to seek help from the pastor. They carried him to the hospital, which was an hour and a half away, where they finally were able to care for his wounds. From the time his hand was cut off, to the time he was sewed up, sixteen hours had transpired.
“At times, doubt creeps in to invade my faith. I don’t want it there, but it still manages to make its way in. I believe God understands this, and allows amazing stories like Musa’s to cross our paths to let us know that there is a God who truly loves and cares for us. It strengthens my faith all the more from seeing the way that God delivered Musa.
“I was able to see the amazing power of God work through Musa, because he told us that he loves and forgives the men. He also has had four men from the village come to him secretly, telling him that they had placed their faith and trust in Christ because of his witness. It has opened my eyes to see that God cares as much for the Muslims as he does for me. I thank God for allowing me to see this personally and to meet Musa. We can all learn a lot from his story.”
Tired and irritated with the barrage of unsolicited advice and comments about his failed marriage to Toyin Aimakhu, Adeniyi Johnson doled out a warning to fans to leave him the heck alone!
The actor, who separated from his wife of 2 years in 2015 after allegedly cheating with one of Toyin’s staff, has remained mum on his failed marriage asides from the public apology he tendered to her immediately after the split.
The events leading on to his very unlikely outrage started about a week ago when he shared a picture of himself with fast-rising actress cum producer Seyi Edun, leading people to insinuate that they were in a relationship — a rumour he debunked.
However, some fans were not done with the need to play guidance counsellor in the comment section of his Instagra page after he shared a group picture with his alleged lover in it . One fan pleaded he reconciles with Toyin Aimakhun while another pointedly bashed the actor writing “The cane wey he take beat toyin he will soon take am beat you,” in reference to the new girl.
The brutal comments set the actor off leading to the “comment rubbish and get blocked…” warning he doled out in the early hours of this morning in an epic rant very unlike him.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BGFyvXWnCuU/
“Alhaji Adeniyijohnson….. PLS READ….. promo! Promo!! promo!!!….. comment rubbish and get blocked…. pls comment about the pix and events leave my marriage out of your comments pls….

Hours after Binta Diamond Diallo’s nasty fight with Wizkid’s fans who accused her of setting the singer up just to make money off the pregnancy, the new mum has published the result of a DNA test that confirms he’s the child’s father.
“Read between the lines,” she captioned the post, adding, “#DNADoesntLie #NotJustARumour #Facts”
See the report:
The former video vixen relocated to Nigeria in January, but after the singer failed to acknowledge their son Ayodeji Ibrahim, she returned to the United States.
She has since resumed work, caring for her daughter from a previous relationship and her son with Wizkid.
According to a Twitter user who shared the photo on social media, a woman has fallen victim to Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) in Katsina State, after taking Septrin Sulphamethoxazole tablet as the adverse drug reaction turned her to black.
“This is why self medication is usually not recommended. If you report a reaction at a hospital , it is usually written in BOLD in front of ur hospital file so subsequently, no one would prescribe that drug to you.
“Some of us are not told and we don’t ask questions at d hospital so we don’t know. Next thing we are ill and self medicated and go ahead to get that same drug we react to, unknowingly. Drug use awareness needs serious promotion!,” an Instagram user commented on the viral photo.
A Toronto Canada-based Nigerian, Fadesola Adedayo, who recently returned to Nigeria to raise awareness against Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), the rare skin condition that killed his brother, Adeyosola, on March 20, 2012, in Lagos, six months after the birth of his son, has completed a 17-day marathon walk in memory of his late brother.
Adeyosola, a UK-trained medical doctor, was administering free community health services when he noticed blood on his hands after treating an HIV patient.
He took medication to prevent HIV infection and experienced a severe skin reaction. In two weeks, he was dead. He was 27.
Fadesola, a marathoner, began a 717km-long trek against the spread of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) from Abuja on May 13, finished at about 1.30p.m., on Monday in Lagos, at the Gani Fawehinmi Freedom Park in Ojota. He later told newsmen that his efforts were bound to yield dividends to combat the SJS.
Stevens – Johnson syndrome, a form of toxic epidermal necrolysis, is a life-threatening skin condition, in which cell death causes the epidermis to separate from the dermis.
The condition is most often a severe reaction to some medications.
