A Cherubim and Seraphim church, Ebenezer Model Parish, located at Abiola Way, Abeokuta, Ogun state yesterday reportedly gave their church premises to their Muslim neighbors to have their Eid prayers.
The C&S church were said to have also given the Muslim faithfuls their sound system.
Now the question on everyone’s lips is that will they(Muslims) do the same if a Church were in their shoes?
The debonair male singer who took to his IG page earlier, this morning to wish media personality, Toolz, a happy birthday, also shared this dapper looking image of himself and movie veteran, RMD.
The singer sounded excited as he captioned the photo:
As most people probably know, I’m currently on set filming a movie called “The Wedding Party”. In it, my Egbon @mofedamijo plays my Dad. Now, please pardon me, but this is SUCH a big deal to me… I grew up watching RMD on tv. He’s like my own personal Denzel Washington. And I can tell you this, he’s just as cool, if not cooler, in real life as he is on camera. I kid you not. Very much a legend and an icon of Nigerian Entertainment, Still at the very top of his game decades later, every bit the consummate professional and somehow he remains the nicest guy. I’ve only ever been star struck twice in Africa : the day I met JayJay Okocha, and the day I met RMD.
So it’s even a bigger deal to me to actually get to work with him in this capacity… and it been amazing.
Happy birthday Dad. Thank you for the doors you’ve opened, for leading by example, for being true to yourself and to your craft, for being who you are, and for generally just being awesome. It’s been a pleasure meeting and working with you. God bless and I wish you much more success.
PS: shameless plug: the wedding party comes out in December. This is one film you DON’T wanna miss. Trust me. #BirthdayLove #TheBankStatements
This has got to be the most humourous yet unappealing Twitter trend all July! The response of the Nigerian tweeps are funny though but you can tell of their pain in their tweets.
People have found this job ad by a Lekki based TV Production company despicable after it specifically requested for light skinned girls as TV presenters for the company.
Nigerians in no time, raided the tweet with brutal responses but to the surprise of many, the tweep, who shared the tweet ad, after a while sounded like he cared less of the fierce and harsh comments being thrown at him as he amused himself with the amount of applications he had received in less than 4 hours.
Earlier this morning, Nigerian male singer, Banky W took to his Instagram to reveal how he had a chance with popular media personality, Toolz Oniru Demuren but he instead, sister-zoned her and match-made with his best friend, Tunde Demuren and it became an happily ever after story.
As he shared a heartwarming and prayerful birthday message to the media personality, he shared that he and Toolz had met for a very long time before he met her soul mate.
Banky wrote:
Nigerians also reacted to the singer’s confession, stating that according to the couple, they met on Twitter and now Banky W, has brought his own side to the story – the fans are confused on which to believe.

Nollywood actor, Femi Branch moments ago, shared an emotional video on his Instagram page after he learnt of the demise of veteran actress, Bukky Ajayi.
In the short video he shared, the actor said that after he heard she had died, he took out his phone to call her only to find out that he didn’t have her number on his phone.
As shown in the video, he felt so ashamed. He then asked his fellow Nollywood colleagues to try to reach out to each other more often.
He is quoted as saying:
“I just found out that Aunty has passed on and I picked up my phone immediately to call her and I couldn’t find her number and I felt so ashamed and this is what happens to us a whole lot of times especially in this profession.
When work brings us together, we dance, we rejoice, we celebrate, we play. If you see us at that moment you would think we reach out to each other everyday and we relate so well but once we have left that location, that is it. We hardly relate with each other only to find out things about ourselves on the passages of newspapers, blogs.. We need to reach out more”he said

Eniola badmus was at the other end of Kemi Olunloyo’s straw when she apparently, “Downgraded Kemi’s name and brand in front of Etisalat on their new promo”…This is course of according to Kemi’s Claim.
Obviously, Eniola tweeted at about 1pm today saying “Aunty Kemi spread luv not hate” and consequently, Aunty Kemi tweeted saying “@BadmusEniola Spread MUSCLE NOT FAT! Happy #Ramadan”
However, Aunty Kemi proceeded to her Instagram wall to spread this misunderstanding and one of her follower pleaded on Eniola’s behalf that Aunty should let go and put her mistakes behind her.
Reasonably, Aunty Kemi concludes that Eniola has tarnished her image in the sight of Etisalat and that they might not grant her any sponsorship or any of it kind in the future.

Veteran Actress, Bukky Ajayi passed away at the age of 82 at her residence in Lagos yesterday and she has been buried according to Islamic rites.
Actor Richard Mofe Damijo paid an emotional tribute to the late veteran, apologizing for delaying his plan to visit her. He wrote:
“Aunty Bukks, I am sorry. Sorry I did NOT visit you in your last days, not because I didn’t want to but because I took for granted the gift of life and procrastinated. To think that I spoke to Abounce kunle your son (whom I share the TV series Hush with where he is such a star now as Ruffy Jackson. Taking after you) several days ago to ask for the best time to come see you…if I knew it was time I would have come that very day to see you but who would have thought that the bold, strong Aunty Bukks who has consistently defied every circumstance and risen above every situation will go to sleep so soon.
It is my birthday today and as I sit here writing you, I can only think how ironic it is that you have completed the circle of life.
I am deeply pained by your passing but I am extremely proud that you are a part of my life and I yours.
I love you very much Aunty Bukks and will NEVER trade the memories of you for anything.
Sleep well in Gods bosom.”
Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomole while entertaining some Muslims in the state during the Eid Mubarak Ceremony yesterday, July 6th said that God loves Nigeria so much he had to make Buhari President at this time in Nigeria’s history.
“We have to thank Allah for making it possible for Buhari to emerge. God so loves Nigeria that he brought Buhari at this time. If Buhari had not come, we will not know why the Nigeria government failed to tackle Boko Haram. They are now confessing like witches” he said
According to Oshiomole, the vengeance of God has fallen on PDP and he said it can be seen in the confusion that has trailed the leadership of the party in recent times.
Wow…Here’s a shocking convo between a married man and his side chicks…Apparently, his side chicks are his wife’s best friends who were on her bridal train during their wedding.
From their chats it seems like the man was double dating before he even got married to his wife, and now that he is married he still wants to eat his cake and have it.
The aggrieved wife who shared the chats online says their marriage is only just 3 months old..She also said the girl exchanging nudes and sleeping with the husband is getting married this September.
In her own words… “I just discovered that my husband is cheating on me. I went through his phone and saw his chats with two different girls. The most painful thing is that the two girls are my closest friends. They were both part of my bridal train three months ago and we already have plans to go for a relative burial again this month, that shows how close we are. Surprisingly, one of the girls that exchange nudes with my husband has it all planned to get married this September after her fiance proposed to her couple of months to my wedding, but here she is sleeping with my husband. I’m confused”
Over the weekend, Social media was awash with stories of a secret registry wedding between Afropop star Oladapo Daniel Oyebanjo, AKA D Banj, also popular as Kokomaster and 24 year Old DiDi Kilglow who is half American, half Nigerian and South African..
However, The music star camp has debunked the news of his wedding to an half caste lover as a mere figments of the peddlers’ imaginations.
The Kokomaster, speaking through his manager, Frank, in a telephone chat on Monday, said there was no marriage at all not to talk of a secret wedding. See the official statement after the cut:
“D’Banj didn’t do any secret wedding. He had a private event meant for only few family and friends and how that turned to a marriage ceremony is what I don’t know. Some people obviously didn’t understand simple English and we would not dignify them with response on suchfalse tale,” D’Banj’s manager said.
The purported secret marriage had D’Banj’s father, Col. Oyebanjo Rtd.; and 25 other guests in attendance.
Meanwhile, read a previous interview D’banj granted to Punch newspaper on APRIL 23, 2016 about marriage:
“Who said I am not married? I would tell you the truth, I am not married but if I am, nobody would hear about it. It is going to be a very quiet wedding because I am tired of people asking me that question. It is my personal life and it is not going to change my music or brand. I am not going to get married just because people want me to, neither would I do it just to enter another phase of my life just like some of my colleagues have done. They make it seem as if once you are married you have retired. But that should not be the case. Marriage would not change anything about me and whenever it happens, nobody would hear about it, there would only be speculations. My wife would not be seeking for fame because the one I have is already enough for all my family members. When I get married, it would be a very quiet one. Who knows, it might have already happened.”

A 12 year old houseboy, identified simply as Peter, has been blinded by his ‘madam’ at the Ikeja area of Lagos State.
It was gathered that residents, who could no longer stand the violence meted out on the boy by his ‘madam,’ decided to raise the alarm. The latest cruelty meted out on Peter, leading to injuring in his eyes, was said to be over improper washing of kettle.
The yet to be identified woman resides at No. 14 b, Olu Akerele Street, Balogun Bus Stop off Awolowo Way, Ikeja. According to neighbours, how Peter, a Togolese, was employed by the woman was not clear.
What is clear, however, is that Peter was always being subjected to constant beating. A resident, who gave her name simply as Tayo, said: “We feared the unexpected with the manner the woman used to beat the boy. He has a deep sore on his leg. When I asked him about it, he said it was from burnt from fire. He said the swollen eye was caused by beating from his madam for not washing a kettle properly.“ He has been subjected to violence for a long time. You know everybody used to mind his or her business in the compound.
When I saw the boy last, he was looking sickly. Hence I decided to seek help from the appropriate agency.” Another resident, who pleaded anonymity, said the woman was well known for being violent. He said everyone on the street used to keep the woman at arm’s length . He added: “If the boy comes to watch television with them in the parlor, he would be beaten.
On school days, you will see the boy leaving home around 9.30a.m . This is an ideal case of child abuse and child labour. We need the intervention of child protection network in his case.”
When our correspondent visited the compound to seek the woman’s response, the gate was not opened after repeated knocking. The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Dolapo Badmos, was yet to respond to a text message sent to her mobile line on the issue at press time.
To mark his 55th birthday, Mercy Johnson is celebrating iconic actor, Richard Mofe Damijo with pics of the actor with her daughter, Angel.

News reaching us now confirms that Nollywood veteran actress, Bukky Ajayi has passed on. It’s reported that the octogenarian died earlier this morning.
As at the time of this post, the cause of her death is unknown. The last public appearance was on Saturday, March 5, 2016 at the Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards, where she received a “Industry Merit Award“.
She was visited at her home on June 15th ,2016 by her colleagues Joke Silva, Rita Dominic, Kate Henshaw and others.
Doctors have praised a man’s penis a miracle after his it saved his life when he was struck by lightning.
41 year old, Zoran Jurkovic, from the small eastern Croatian village of Petrovci was listening to his headphones when a thunderstorm formed overhead and after being struck on the head by a bolt, it earthed itself through his penis.
The medics said that it was a miracle that the lightning charge had bypassed Zoran’s chest and missed his heart. At the time he was wearing his work overalls, which included a high visibility jacket and thick old rubber boots.
MailOnline reports that because of the boots, the electricity was not able to earth through his feet, but after striking him on the head doctors claimed that instead of passing through his body – and most likely destroying his internal organs and stopping his heart – the electricity had followed the cables of the headphones.
They said it had then left his body by earthing through his genitals with the help of a small radio clipped to his belt.
The lucky escapee said:
“I saw black clouds and flashes of light appear in the sky and thunder could be heard booming across the nearby fields. I tried to ride faster to get to shelter in time, but I was too late.”
Passers-by driving in a van witnessed the incident and one of them said:
“We were shocked when we saw the man. He was sitting in the rain and steam was coming out of his body.”The bicycle was next to him. We took him in our van and drove him to the hospital. Doctors were also amazed that he was alive.”
Reality TV and self-proclaimed snapchat princess, Kylie Jenner has allegedly dismissed her mum, Kris Jenner of her manager duties.
This comes after she recently reunited with boyfriend Tyga following a brief split.
Radaronline reports that Kylie feels like she’s been ‘left out’ from Kris‘ family priorities recently.
“Kris has been so focused on Rob and Blac’s baby, Kendall‘s modeling and, as always, Kim,” a source said
“Kylie just feels like she doesn’t matter to Kris anymore and she says she wants to look into getting new management.”
It reportedly blew up between the pair when Kris helped start up a spin-off show for Rob and Blac – despite Kylie apparently wanting her own for years.
But according to the site, it reached a head once and for all when Kyle revealed she had reconciled with Tyga last week. When Kylie got back together with Tyga, she had a huge blowout fight with Kris,” the source claimed.
