So, the beautiful First Lady of Nigeria, Mummy Aisha Muhammadu Buhari and her family – children and grandchildren – posed for a photo recently and the photo has fast become a favourite of a lot of people.
In the photo the wife of the President and also mother of five can be seen holding one of her grandchildren while other members of the family surround them.
Minister of Works, Housing and Power, Babatunde Fashola, has written an article on the advantages of Buhari’s recent Foreign trips. Read below:
In making this public intervention, I seek to highlight the benefit of global relationships and cooperation in a world that is changing daily as a result of globalization and transborder economics, social and even criminal activities where no one is safe, except all are safe, and to leave the dispassionate observer his opinion after deep reflection on the value, or lack of it, of the President’s foreign trips.
This way I hope every Nigerian who cares about our country will have some information about what their President is doing about the things that concern them. First I will start with context. Barely 2 decades ago (between 1994 and 1998) we would not have quarreled with the description that we were a pariah nation.
We were ostracized from global events because of bad governance. We had lost the respect accorded Nations like ours were they well-led and well-run. I recall that not a few Nigerians complained that the green passport was becoming, if it had not already become, a burden.
That was at the height of the dictatorial government that broke the rules of international relations. It was from there that we started to heal. Investors entered our country. Many brands that we sought after abroad started coming to set up shop in our country. The tourist footfalls in our country increased slowly but surely, but again we began to slide.
That was when Buhari declared at a meeting in Lagos during his campaign in 2015, that if elected, he would make us proud about our country again. Proud to be Nigerian again.
That is the context in which I view his foreign trips and the manifesto of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Foreign Relations which promised to: Make the Nigerian national interest the overriding factor in its foreign policy and international relations. Work to reform global governance in multilateral institutions and agencies.
Work to strengthen the African Union to become a more effective organization on global affairs. Engage the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) on the basis of equality. Play a leadership role to develop a MINT (Mexico, India, Nigeria, and Turkey) as a counterforce to BRICS.
I will limit my takeaways to 4 (Four) trips that I attended with the President namely: the G7 Summit in Germany, the Oil and Gas Summit in Iran, the Renewable Energy Conference in Abu Dhabi and the State visit and Business Forum in China; and 2 (Two) trips that I did not attend, but whose deliberations I followed, namely: Paris for the COP 21 and USA for the Nuclear Energy Summit. G7 in Germany This is a club of eight of the most industrialized, economic and technologically advanced nations.
For the benefit of those who do not follow international politics it was originally the G8 comprising the USA, Britain, Germany, France, Canada, Japan, Italy, and Russia, who were later suspended and had sanctions imposed on them to make it G7 as a result. It was formed in 1975 as a club of 6 (Six) before Canada and Russia were admitted.
They look after each other, and the rest of the world to put it simply. They have gone to war together if you remember Iraq and Libya in recent memory and they are all largely collaborating to fight terror. (Most recently the FBI was rendering assistance to Belgium in the aftermath of the terror attacks in that Country). Why G7 one might then ask? Answer: German Chancellor Angela Merkel, as host, invited PMB on his inauguration to be their guest along with some three or four other African countries.
Their agenda was global security, global economy and global health in the aftermath of Ebola, which was still raging in some African countries. Apart from the personal aides of the President, Governor Shettima of Borno, General Dambazau and myself were the only ones who accompanied PMB.
I recall that upon our arrival in Germany they expressed surprise that our delegation was small and asked if others were still coming. In the pre-departure briefing, in addition to highlighting how the security and economic agenda of the G7 coincided with 2 (Two) of his campaign promises, security, (corruption) economy, PMB stated the reasons 3 of us were invited.
Governor Shettima was in the front line of terrorists and criminal activities in the north east; General Abdulrahman Dambazau, was a former Chief of Army Staff, and also a faculty associate of Harvard University Weatherhead Center for International Affairs; I had run the single biggest economy of a state within Nigeria for eight years and was in the frontline of Ebola. Without ministers, one week after taking office, he felt we were the ones best suited to assist, if he needed it, on the issues of security, economy and health on the G7 agenda.
In the event, he did not need us. He held his ground admirably. He was the first person called upon to speak at a Summit in which Nigeria was not a member. I was proud to be a Nigerian. At global summits we usually got to speak when others had spoken and the hall has emptied. President Obama was the first G7 member to speak after PMB and he said that Nigeria has elected a President that brings a reputation of scrupulous integrity to the table.
I was proud to be a Nigerian. The opening session was robust and welcoming, we saw some of the world’s most powerful men and women take off their jackets, call each other by their first names in a club-like setting while addressing the world’s most serious problems. Problems that affect you and I daily.
I was proud that my President was in a room where decisions concerning my planet were being deliberated upon. Prime Minister Cameron, Chancellor Merkel and others also spoke in similar vein about our President’s reputation and our nation’s strategic position in Africa and the world. They pledged support for Nigeria on Terror and the Economy.
Importantly, I learned that their scientists were worried about increasing resistance of strains of infections to antibiotics; and that they were committing enormous resources into finding out why and what to do. They highlighted the difficulty of time and resources that it will take to develop new antibiotics and the risk to global health.
If we all appreciate how vulnerable we can be without effective antibiotics, especially our children, and if we remember how low life expectancy was and how poor global health was before the discovery of Penicillin after the World War, we will appreciate the seriousness of the platform to which Nigeria was invited. I was proud that our President was there.
If the seven most powerful nations stand with you, who can stand against you? I need not say more except that I can attest that PMB has been following up on these matters, and the progress on security is visible, while results on the economic front will manifest soon enough.
Iran Oil and Gas Summit For those who are not aware, one of the reasons why oil prices went up, and from which we benefited in the past, was that Iran, the world’s 7th largest producer of oil, was facing global sanctions from which she was due to emerge in 2016.
Because Iran was soon to be selling oil, the likelihood of a further crash of oil prices that had drastically fallen was a threat to Nigeria’s economy if oil prices crashed further.(Our 2016 budget proposals had just been formulated on a $38 per barrel assumption) I was witness to PMB’s persuasion to Iran to come to the market slowly instead of pushing out large volumes which will raise supply and crash prices, even though Iran also needed the cash.
You can’t do that type of diplomacy by letter or by phone, in my view, not when the major players were all there in person. I witnessed the meeting with the Venezuelan prime minister, who was leading the South American producers to sell more and get cash even if the prices were lower.
PMB’s logic was different. Hold your volumes, steady the price, and don’t let us hurt one another. Recorders of history will recall that the Venezuelan government suffered a major political defeat in Parliament, while PMB’s logic has at least steadied oil prices. It might interest you to know that all European nations sent their oil ministers, except Russia, where Vladimir Putin came in person, because having been suspended from the G8 and facing sanctions, this was the meeting where his country’s interests were best served. For the record, Russia pledged a $5 Billion state support to Iran, and if the purpose of this is lost on anyone, I interpret it to mean, “Take cash, don’t pump out your oil. It will hurt me.” This is the reality of international politics.
Finally on Iran, PMB told us, how when he flew to Iran in his days as Petroleum Minister, he noticed how much gas they were flaring and now he returned as President, all the flares were gone. We found out that all the gas had been harvested and piped to every home for heating, cooking etc.
His mandate: “If they can do it, we must do it.” I am proud to be led by a President who sees good things outside and seeks to bring them to his people. Abu Dhabi Renewable Energy This is reputed to be the richest of the Emirates in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Apart from seeking cooperation to recover Nigeria’s stolen wealth stored in the UAE [His anti-corruption commitment pursued in person], PMB addressed a renewable energy summit where we learned about initiatives to bring solar power price down to 5 (Five) US cents per kilowatt hour, (approximately N10) as against the price of 17 (seventeen) US cents (N34) per KW/h tariff in Nigeria fixed at privatization by the last Government.
PMB’s mandate was for us to explore collaboration for the manufacture of solar panels in Nigeria to bring down the price and deploy it to the sunlit areas of Nigeria, especially the North that is most prolific for irradiation. We are currently working on the Energy Mix for Nigeria which is the implementation process of the energy policy that will take us there.
Hopefully we will soon be signing the first set of solar deployment agreements for Nigeria. In this way, more solar and hydro will be used in the North, more coal and hydro in the Middle Belt, and more gas in the South; so that we take power generation closest to the most prolific source of fuel to bring down the cost and make it more affordable.
On the trip to China (which I will comment on) we met a few Chinese solar manufacturers (who recognized us from Abu Dhabi) who want to set up business of manufacturing solar panels in Nigeria. China Investment Forum and State Visit This is the visit that provoked this write up, because I had bottled what I knew. But it was time, I believe, to share some of it. China is the second largest economy in the world with a per capita income of $8,000 which they are planning to raise to $12,000 by 2020. By her own assessment, according to President Xi Jinping, they are still a developing nation seeking to achieve what he described as “initial prosperity” by 2020. If you look at the back of your phone, your TV, your watch, your I-Pad, your Mobile Charger, many other accessories that you use, you are likely to find these three words “Made in China” printed somewhere.
For such a nation, (with trillions of dollars in reserves, that plans to spend $2 trillion on imports in the next five years and earn $100 billion annually) who still sees itself as a developing nation, such modesty in the face of success, assiduous hard work and productivity is a destination to seek cooperation in the pursuit of economic development.
This is where PMB led an array of Nigerian investors including Erisco Foods, (who now makes our tomato paste at home and employs people locally including farmers who supply the tomatoes), Power operators (DisCos and GenCos), and the Dangote Group, to meet with and address their Chinese partners.
During the meeting with the Chinese President, 6 (Six) collaboration agreements were signed including for agriculture and food production improvement techniques, rail and power infrastructure development, for funding the Dangote group to continue to expand and create jobs at home and keeping some of our reserves in the currency of the richest nation in the world.
This last mentioned agreement was a legitimate coup by PMB because the intelligence was that some West African countries were going to sign before us. PMB seized the moment.
Of course he had to apologize for our previous failures on our agreement made to part-fund 4 airport projects in Lagos, Kano, Abuja and Port Harcourt and Abuja-Kaduna rail project. The Chinese had provided their agreed part of 85% but the remaining 15% Nigeria did not honour during the last administration.
Some of the recent revelations about financial scandals estimated at $2.1 billion in the office of the National Security Adviser alone during the last administration suggest how impactful such funds would have been in delivering these critical infrastructure ; but we all know what happened.
This is why PMB is traveling. To repair our reputation severely damaged by the last government, and to assure our partners that Nigeria has CHANGED. And from there to re-negotiate an existing funding agreement to complete critical Transport infrastructure. Because of his reputation, President Xi Jinping believed him, and to quote him, he said: “It is better late than never. ”
Through him China literally opened the door to Nigeria in areas of infrastructure (power, railways and roads), agriculture, education and manufacturing especially in our Free Trade Zones. To paraphrase the Chinese President, “ask us for whatever support or partnership and we will be happy to respond.” “We wish to see you take your rightful place and we are happy that you are the first African president visiting China, after my visit to Africa last year to pledge a $60 billion support for the Development of the continent.” If this was not initiative I doubt what is? As for the trips to Paris, COP 21 and the USA, Nuclear Security Summit, I will only say this:
a) The threat of climate change, global warming, desertification in the north of Nigeria and coastal erosion in the Atlantic (Bar beach in Lagos) and in the south, affecting Rivers, Bayelsa and other coastal states, the clear scientific evidence lays the blame at the door of the world’s most industrialized nation for their pollution.
b) Since the Kyoto protocol they have paid lip service to remedying the situation, which unfortunately affects developing nations more adversely.
c) COP 21 was the first serious commitment that these leaders made to ensure that global temperatures do not rise above 2°C and indeed are reduced to 1.5°C. I am proud that Nigeria was not missing at this historic moment. When the planet is saved, the next and future generations of Nigerians will recall that PMB was present, when all of the world leaders were present to save the planet.
d) In the aftermath of COP 21, the commitment of these nations is to increase production and technology for renewable energy and to reduce the use of carbon fuels. One way they plan to achieve this is increased deployment of nuclear energy.
e) These nations are at the cusp of sharing safe nuclear technology for peaceful uses with developing nations for power generation. This for me was reason enough and a good one at that for PMB to be in the USA because Nigeria has been pursuing a nuclear power program for about 17 years, not as an alternative to gas or Hydro, but as additions to them.
The world leaders must trust you for you to partake. At that summit, in the group photograph, PMB stood on the second row along side Britain and Turkey. In the past, we used to be on the last row. This is CHANGE. As he meets with world leaders outside Africa, he has not forgotten the home front.
He is regularly visiting and receiving his sister and brother presidents on the African continent. PMB has earned their trust for all of us and I am proud to carry my green passport. Yes, some results are not yet manifest, and may take a little while to do so, but a solid foundation for a sustainable, respectable and prosperous future is being laid, block by block.
This is how to build a solid “home” from whence we can project respect abroad with confidence. How many of us will do business with total strangers without a reference or a good reputation in this age of due diligence? PMB is building affiliations everywhere that if well-managed in future, will develop into a global network of friendships, trust and respect for Nigeria and Nigerians.
I once heard that the role of a leader, like that of the head of a family, is that of an aggregator, opening doors and opportunities, breaking down barriers and forging alliances. I agree. This is my Takeaway on these trips.
This is a hilarious compilation of some Nigerian names that have been associated with comedy and internet trolls.
Firstly, this is Nigeria and there is the need to carefully review the kind of names we give our children. We are a nation with a deep rooted belief for culture and value.
While many people prefer to give their children foreign names, many people do not want to lose touch with the culture we have tried to preserve for years.
That being said, there are some indigenous names you dare not name your child in this present age and day. Not only are these names bastardized, they have become a subject of ridicule amongst people.
Some names in Nigeria depict stupidity and go on to portray the bearers of such names as people who are not smart and are naturally silly.
It should be known that the names you give a child go a long way in that child’s future. A child named after wealth could become immensely rich people would start to marvel at his or her success. Give a child a name that means bitterness and you would be surprised to see that child goes through trials and tribulations all through his life.
Without wasting much time, check out some of the names you may not want to name a child in Nigeria:
1. Akpos
Please if your wife is expecting a child, do not include Akpos when you are compiling names to give that child. Akpos have become the joke of the century in Nigeria and is being used wildly in the entertainment world.
People who bear this name are so dumb they could hardly make sentences that are filled with good points. This character may stick to your unborn child as he may never be taken serious.
2. Sule
This name has Islamic background. Many Nigerians now use it when they want to mock people. A person being called Sule may not necessarily have that as his original name but then it means the person is not smart or intelligent.
Calling a person that is aimed at making him or her know he is acting silly or actually silly. If you go on naming your child that, don’t say we did not warn you.
Just off his smash hit single Kolewerk, Koker is out with yet another very impressive effort in his freestyle version of Drake‘s ‘One Dance’ featuring Wizkid & Kyla that has topped worldwide charts since its release.
Koker definitely shows his versatility of sound and style and makes a very audible statement on why he will always be a major force to be reckoned with in the African music scene.
So earlier today, Wizkid and Linda Ikeji both met with the Lagos State Commissioner of Police and Below is what went down according to Linda Ikeji..
Read:
So, I am going to write about this Wizkid matter for the very last time. Anything else after this will no longer concern me.
So Wizkid and I met with the Commissioner of Police today and when the Commissioner asked me what I wanted them to do with the case…I told him that I wanted peace. And the reason why I insisted on peace and not to drag the matter further i.e go to court, is because Wizkid and his lawyers have been apologizing since Friday, up until today!
I spoke with Wizkid through his lawyer on Friday April 15th where he tendered an apology to me and said he wasn’t a violent person, that he didn’t mean what he said, that it was just an emotional outburst. And then he asked for forgiveness. Please continue…
But despite forgiving him, he still had to show up at the Police HQ to officially apologize and write an undertaken which he did today.
I see a lot of negativity has come out of this case with Wizkid – with many folks bashing me for reporting a threat on my person. But here’s my consolation and why I am glad this happened. I promise you, especially the ladies, Wizkid will never threaten you with harm again. At least not in public. I believe I am the last bus stop. He will think twice before threatening another human being again on social media. A police file has been opened for him, and he has been cautioned. The day he threatens another human being again with harm, then…
Having said that, I turned down taking a photo with him and the police commissioner this afternoon. One of his people took a pic of him and the commissioner with me in it and my people insisted they delete it. Not because I haven’t forgiven him, I just don’t need the extra drama.
I wish Wizkid all the best and will continue to celebrate him.
God bless us all.
Guys are not only guilty about this, sometimes we ladies really feel the urge to be alone and get down with someone we have a crush on. OK enough said lipsrsealed
I know some people might take me as a bad girl but I don’t care. I am going to state the fact and hey I am here to have fun.
1. She comes to your house with a short skirt or a short gown: some guys don’t seem to understand the signs though. The thing is, we ladies are very conscious of what we were, so coming to your house looking like a hot model is a cue.
2. She lays her had on your shoulders or laps: this is a very popular trick we use but some guys are too quick to start kissing and pressing… This is not cool, it makes us uneasy and we change our mind. Why don’t put just take it slow and wait for the right moment then you see we actually prepared for this before coming.
3. Telling you we want to sleep and you shouldn’t disturb: let me tell you a secret guy, no girl I repeat no girl will ever come to your house if she feels she is tired and will not enjoy herself when she comes (trust me)
4. Saying she will be leaving in an hour time: we are actually telling you to make a move but someone guys don’t get it. Instead they will be begging us to stay a little longer. Durr if I have somewhere else to go that evening, do you think I will come and spend time in your house?
5. We loose off some buttons on our shirt: we want you to feel aroused and make a move but instead you will dip your hands in your pocket and probably start going out and coming in. Then you will be forming bad guy later.
6. We tell you to play a song and we start dancing: if I am dancing in your room, I expect you to join me then along the link you rock me then you know what next to do. But most of you don’t even know how to Dance it is frustrating.
Seyi Shay dun do am ooo! Recall she made a blunderous mistake when Chuey Chey of Pulse TV asked her to pronounce the word T.W.O…and she said pronounced it as /tuwoooh/…Though the Pulse Guy tricked her sort of…See Below The First Blunder she suffered months ago before this..
Now, the singer who was recently a guest on Hip TV’s Trending has proved she can trend once again…Well during the show she was asked by host, Nancy Isime, to give the full meaning of EP since she is a musician.
The average Nigerian may not know what EP means but as a musician, it is a sin for Seyi Shay to have no idea what EP (Extended Play) or LP (Long Play) means.
Now, this recent blunder has her fans questioning her intelligence with some calling her a ‘disgrace’ and a ‘dumb, dumb.’ Some others believe her response was a joke.
Wizkid is in trouble with the police you say? Well according to his latest Instagram post — He’s not!
In a very slick move and shade to blogger,Linda Ikeji, Wizkid posted a picture of himself and the commissioner and with the caption “With the Hon Commissioner of Lagos Police. Police is your friend.”; proving that he is also friends with the authorities. LOL!
https://www.instagram.com/p/BEWPmDAm6yM/
Well, Wizkid may have just given Linda (and the world) the best response, Ever!
Meanwhile Fans of Wizkid are applauding him for pulling bigger guns to fire back at Linda, while some Nigerians are saying he bribed the Commissioner.
Popular Nigerian Afro-pop singer, J Martins shared these photos of a disabled man hawking in the rain.
He wrote:
Thank God for the life that you have & remember success is all around you if you choose to succeed, look at this man with one leg yet he won’t stop working even under the rain but you have all the members of your body complete so why won’t you succeed. Happy New week May God Almighty Bless the works of our hands Amen”
This is so moving..God bless his efforts wherever he may be.
Spiritual Leader of the INRI Spiritual and Evangelical Church, Oke-Afa, Isolo, Lagos, Primate Elijah Babatunde Ayodele, has revealed he is inviting over 30,000 prophets to pray for Nigeria.
This comes as he stood by his prophecy that President Muhammadu Buhari cannot lead Nigeria to the ‘Promised Land’, despite his good intentions.
In an interview with Vanguard, he said:
We need to move this country forward and we need people who can do it. Buhari can move Nigeria forward, he has the intention and mission, but he is surrounded by people who are not with him in his mission and he does not see it.
We are going to do the prayers for Nigeria. Anybody who wants to participate can come in. By the time you get my church and other prophets I want to invite, we will have nothing less than 30,000 that will register for the prayer. That is one of the ways forward that God said I should take and I have taken that step.
I will move to the South South to bring together the prophets there for this same mission. You know that I don’t belong to CAN, Christian Association of Nigeria, PFN, Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, or whatever because I don’t believe in their leadership. I don’t believe in what they stand for. This forum is not to form any association. So, this one I am going to do on my own, I am only taking steps as God directs me.
President Buhari needs prayers. APC needs prayers because a lot is going to happen in that party that they will now see that they have some wrong people with them. They have too many wrong people there and 2019 is not going to be as easy as we talk about it. Not that there will be no elections but there will be changes in the elections that will distinguish them from those of the past. Before the election in Benin Republic, I told the President of that country that the Egun people would not take it easy with him. He lost the election.
So, now, as a prophet, God can send you to anywhere in the world and that was why the Ghanaian President must strive hard to win second term.I told Bukola Saraki that he should not take this CCT trial as a joke. I told him, in my interview with you, that he could go to Appeal Court and from there to Supreme Court and that any court he went to would not stop it.
And if you remove Saraki and APC does not put its house together properly, PDP will still become the Senate President and that will cause a lot of problems in the Senate. Buhari will succeed in his anti-corruption fight but, at the end of the day, corruption will still hit his government because people who are corrupt and who are around him will be exposed.
Police have busted an alleged ‘baby farm’ operated from a private hospital in India, selling and swapping ‘unwanted’ new-borns for Rs 1 lakh each,about $1,000.
Babies born out of rape or illicit relationships were being delivered at this hospital and sold for adoption. Two new-borns have been rescued from the 30-bed Palash Hospital in Gwalior’s Murar area, Times of India reports..
An investigating officer said:
“When a girl or her parents approached them for termination of pregnancies, doctors at this hospital used to convince them assuring a safe and secret delivery.
Once baby is delivered and mother gets discharged, hospital authorities start hunting for gullible couples who could buy them,”
In one of the cases, the accused have also swapped a new born girl with boy.
“A Gwalior based couple had two boys. They swapped one of their boys with a girl at this hospital,” said the officer.
Five people including the hospitals director TK Gupta, manager and parents who bought babies from this hospital have been booked.
Nollywood actress Chika Ike is bereaved. She announced to her fans today that she lost her mother to the cold hands of death. Eulogizing the late Mrs Ike, Chika wrote:
“RIP Mum. Saying I am going to miss you is an understatement, I can’t still believe you are gone , I sit here wondering if I’m in a dream and waiting for someone to pinch me . You thought me how to be strong, giving, loyal, compassionate and driven. You told me that there is nothing impossible to do. You made me the woman I am today. I am most grateful to you. I will miss you greatly . I know you are watching over me and you will always live on. Love you mum.”
Today, Stella Nyanzi of Makerere Institute of Social Research (MISR) got locked out of her office at the Makerere University, and in protest, the very popular professor stripped naked, recorded the video and shared it on social media.
According to Nyanzi, her boss Mamhood Mamdani wanted her to teach at the university when she was only contracted to do research works. “I have thrown my clothes outside Prof. Mamdani’s office. I am naked as I cry out for my office,” she said on Facebook where she posted the video.
The professor also said she chained herself before the school gave into her demands.
According to Uganda’s New Vision, the Ethics and integrity state minister Simon Lokodo has ordered Nyanzi’s arrest for stripping naked in public. The media house also gave details of Nyanzi’s stand off with the university.
In his statement, Mamdani said Nyanzi had agreed to teach the PhD programmes in her 2011 application for the post of Research Fellow at MISR, a claim the scholar denied. You can read up the rest of the report here.
Meanwhile, for breaking community rules, Nyanzi has been locked out of her page by Facebook and has now launched a public figure page. “They have blocked my 2 accounts,” she wrote, adding, “but i’m back with a new page….thanx for staying with me.”
North Koreans have been banned from having piercings and face new restrictions on ‘Western clothing’ including jeans as their dictator leader, Kim Jong-un, has launched a nationwide crackdown on citizens. According to Japan’s Asia Press, the rules have been tightened ahead of the 7th Congress of North Korea’s Workers’ Party.
Ishimaru Jiro, a Japanese journalist working with citizen reporters inside North Korea, wrote: ‘A growing number of North Korean people are infatuated with Western culture. The crackdown will continue until the end of the upcoming gathering (the 7th Congress).’
According to the Daily Telegraph, citizens will be monitored by a growing group of youths loyal to Kim Jong-un.
Rimjin-gang, a North Korean news website supported by AsiaPress, said the ‘inspection’ units ‘target supposed capitalist tendencies such as length of skirts, the shape of shoes, T-shirts, hairstyles, and clothes.
It comes just months after it was reported that Kim Jong-un was ordering men to copy his ‘ambitious’ hair style limiting growth to a maximum length of 2cm.
Anyone breaching the restrictive guidelines faced having their hair shorn by authorities, especially in universities, who have been warned to watch out for any capitalist styles.
Women were advised to copy his wife, Ri Sol-ju’s bob.
Ali Baba posted a screenshot of chat messages from a friend who’s presently in a dilemma with his girlfriend who accused him of impregnating another woman.
Continue..
What really happened: The Girlfriend Insulted the Generation of her boyfriend, smashed his car, and did some really bad things to him after she was misled by her friends into thinking her boyfriend impregnated someone else..
….Then as nature will have it, it was revealed and made cleared to her that it was all a misunderstanding as “Her Boyfriend” wasn’t the guy who impregnated whoever is pregnant.
(See Screenshots below)
According to the comedian:
“I don’t know how to advise my guy… He says I should help him ask without adding any names. “What if she reads the postings online? I asked him. “Then she will know if I am right or wrong to have packed her out of my flat and ended the relationship”. Please note, if you have no advice to give don’t comment. Insults will be deleted. Please read the chats before commenting. Don’t be asking me what the guy did. She said it all there. To make this clearer, her friends told her that her Bobo was responsible for impregnating a lady. So she went gaga. Then found out it was not her Bobo. At which time, she had been thrown out and she then realized that the girls who claimed to be protecting her from getting hurt (which may be true) did not investigate properly. So things became bad. And got worse when she broke the driver side glass of his Gwagon with a flower pot. Now it had become clear he wasn’t the person responsible. Those friends have apologized that they “thought he was the one”… That is the root of all this apology. My Guy’s argument is if she had a gun and shot him that night, what will these apologies be for????”
The lady’s message to the guy after he was misled into thinking her boyfriend impregnated someone else…Below:
Her series of messages to him after she found out her boyfriend was innocent…LOL, she sent a message in the morning, afternoon and night!
First of all, Aunty Linda Ikeji- I’d like to state that I am a fan of yours. I am also an unrepentant LIBer, and I think you are the biggest inspiration for many of us who recently ventured into blogging.
You are a role model to me (not because I like all your viral gossip stories, but the way in which you have created a brand with huge followers, worth millions of naira).
So if you ever get to read this, do not take it as hating, rather see it as another up and coming blogger blogging on your blog issues *laughs*.
MATURITY
Aunty Linda, I fully support you on reporting the “Wizkid’s 16years old cousin beating” threats to the Police. We should never condone violence.
Reporting threats (incitements) like this is vital to your safety because it is coming from a celebrity who has lot of fans which could lead to something awful just like you said. But Aunty, in your first epistle debunking the Wizkid’s claim (you called it 1000% lies but then more than 80% of your gossip posts are 1,000,000% lies) that you slept with his director (not my business though because I don’t care who you sleep with, some are saying it’s Sesan shaa *winks*), you mentioned that Wizkid’s PR team approached you but you rebuffed them blah blah… why didn’t you reach them (Wizkid or his PR team) after you felt he threatened you before going to the Police? You’re Linda Ikeji Aunty, I am pretty sure if you’d reached him, you could’ve thrashed this alleged beef and made him release a public apology to you over the threats.
That would have been a more mature approach! Show some maturity Aunty. In a sane clime, I am sure the Police would’ve told you to cool off after making the report, but because you are Linda, you’d to write another epistle to explain why you did it.
Why did you make the report if you won’t let the Police do their job first? Why didn’t you address the threat in your first epistle?
GENDER CARD
Aunty Linda, why do you have to play the gender card? Wizkid did not attack you because you are a woman, he did so because your platform was damaging his image which is not good for his show and ambassadorial business.
Have you forgotten how we supported you when that Yellow Pawpaw had your blog suspended then? Because we couldn’t afford to lose a brand like you even though the plagiarism claims wasn’t false. Can you reflect on that time you had to fight on your Instagram page over your ‘fake’ Hermes bags? Why did you do it? Because you couldn’t stand the claims that your supposed million naira bags were fake and it could dent your image.
You should know that same feeling you had was what Wizkid felt and had to react in ways he saw it fit to react.
Drop this feminism/woman empowerment thing because that is not why this has happened. The same time you posted your “facts” that Wizkid was evicted from his Lekki house (not like he told you he owned it when he moved into the house), was also when he was showcasing the new house in USA on Instagram, but did you post that? Did you post that he was on Drake’s new song? No, because you love the negative stories more. Anyways Lindodo, I am a young man and you did not pass any tangible message to me in Wizkid’s case!
DEFAMATION AND SLANDER
Aunty, there are numerous records of when you have slandered many celebs. Femi Kuti’s post is making rounds in your trend on Twitter right now.
How many times have you apologized for defaming people on your blog? In your multimillion banana island home, how many times have you paused to think of those who have gone traumatic after their stories (truth/false) ended on your blog? You mentioned that you can take insults on your parents but not threats! Wow as a kid then, the biggest cause of fights on street was insulting one’s parents.
So you take insults lightly mainly because you post bullshit about others on your blog as well too ba? If so, why are you worried over slut-shaming? If insults don’t get to you, then tagging you a hoe or smelly p***y shouldn’t have made it into your epistle. Now that you have called in the authorities, are you prepared for countless libel and defamation court cases that could follow? Are you willing to sell your Banana Island house to start paying damages to victims of defamation from your blog?
HATE OR NOT?
Aunty Linda, I know that you don’t really hate Wizkid, but do you have to tell us how you liked only Fuse’s Antennae and Kiss Daniel’s Raba than Wiz’s Dance for me? *laughs*.
Aunty you can stop listening to all of his songs altogether, but there is no denying it that mentions of Wizkid in your posts drives in traffic, so much you have to announce your Vlog series at the end of this latest epistle.
I know you do this for views but why don’t you apply little ethics? Why do you think Wizkid would not support other Music stars who don’t like you too? Why did you claim that you don’t like to go to places where celebrities are gathered?
You wrote that “And to Wizkid fans, please be rest assured that I wish him all the best in life. He will continue to grow from strength to strength (as long as he doesn’t endorse violence against women) and his light will never diminish. God brought him to this level and will continue to keep him. I have nothing but love for his craft and hope that one day, we will put this behind us.” Aunty Linda, you can put this behind you right now if only you would swallow your pride.
Wizkid has never endorsed violence against women, in fact you and I know that many of Wizkid’s songs was about women and with two babymama’s, Wiz can’t do no wrong and would never attack you directly or through his cousins.
CIVILIZED COUNTRIES
It is funny how your blog (APC/PDP/Brands pays you for banners and their affiliate programs) sells in our country, then you turn back and refer to it indirectly as uncivilized.
But since you have mentioned Tupac knowing which women to refer to as bitches, how ambassadorial contracts would have been striped of stars blah blah…and how Chris Brown is still struggling to get a foothold again- I would like to point out to you that Kanye West recently referred to as Taylor Swift as a bitch in his song ‘famous’, but I didn’t see Adidas pulling out of Yeezy’s shoe designs.
You also bragged about giving N500,000 to someone you barely even know her name. My dear aunty, Mark Zuckerberg donated $40million to charity last year but can’t remember when he reminded us he did so. Some Pastors and Christians are housing IDPs in some parts of Nigeria but we don’t even hear about it, because it doesn’t even feature on your blog.
You want to talk about 500k as a leverage for you not to be bashed by an aggrieved Music star? Well I want to ask, would you have felt any better if Wizkid ambassadorial contracts have been cancelled over your issues with him? How would you have felt if plagiarism that you are openly guilty of has ended your blogging career abruptly? Those who live in a glass house don’t throw stones, remember Aunty.
LINDA IKEJI, WE WANT PEACE
Aunty, do you remember why and how Don Jazzy and Olamide’s ish was settled? Both parties benefited from that famed settlement. Don Jazzy could have been nonchalant about the issue and allowed it to foster (him being Don Jazzy with a legendary status already), but he swallowed his pride, settled with the young man and we all felt happy.
Settle with Wiz, Aunty! I am sure Wizzy has connect in Lagos state government whom have connect with the Police. You all, including Nation Human Rights Commission and other NGOs could sit and settle this matter. This could lead to a bigger campaign to show more awareness on violence. Imagine you two in an advert condemning domestic violence. Many of us would like to see that. Aunty Linda Ikeji, we want peace!!!
Stumbled Upon a Video via instablog9ja of Two Kids kissing thoroughly like lovers. The blog reported that the kids were “making out” during a church service..
But with the looks of thing, the background looks like a school.
NB: This is just to sentisitize parents about the need to be more vigilant. From all indications, they’ve been doing this for long. WE WILL BE DELETING THE VIDEO SHORTLY.

Nollywood actor Nonso Diobi was involved in a car crash yesterday in Lagos, and the actor announced moments ago that he suffered a fracture in his leg.
“[I] had an accident yesterday evening, my leg all plastered up,” he wrote, and then made a cryptic rant about ‘true friends’ and how one goes through certain experiences before they can find them.
Diobi also made a call for help, asking fans to come to his aide, pleading for them to help him in healing faster.
See the photo:
But the actor has since deleted the post not long after he put it up and drew massive reactions from fans who showed concern.
Singer J.Martins, gave his fans one extra reason to be thankful for the little things they have that others don’t. Below is the poignant words he shared on social media.
Thank God for the life that you have & remember success is all around you if you choose to succeed, look at this man with one leg yet he won’t stop working even under the rain but you have all the members of your body complete so why won’t you succeed. Happy New week May God Almighty Bless the works of our hands Amen.
Some 25 Nigerians have returned their WAEC results which they say they passed because they cheated.
The Sun confirms that the citizens are ‘born again’ Christians who sat for the examination at school or private centres, and that the results were ‘acquired through fraudulent means’. And so, to obey the doctrine of restitution, they decided to return the results.
The breakdown of the year of examination revealed that the examinations include both those taken during the May/June and the November/December timetable. One of the candidates’ result dates back to 1980.
This is not the first time candidates would be returning their results. In 2014, 15 Christians did same, confirming that they committed fraud.
And how are Nigerians reacting to this story? Here’s what many think:
According to Twitter user Kazeem Popoola who shared this photo – the unnamed man was nabbed selling kerosene mixed with palm oil as fuel on Sunday in a neighbourhood in Lagos.
Here’s a Leak Music reportedly off Davido’s Sophomore Album…This one is titled “Chillin” Featuring Runtown and Akon.
You all know that ever since Davido’s Sony Deal, he has had to go and re-work on the entire album to satisfy the international audience and definitely some old songs were reviewed and this song “Chillin” still made the cut.
– A critic of T.B Joshua in diaspora has called on him to focus on the Boko Haram sect instead of predicting crisis in other countries.
General Overseer of the Church of Rabbi is urging Nigerian prophet, TB Joshua to stop the activities of Islamist group, Boko Haram in Nigeria if he wants his prophecies to be taken seriously.
Prophet Kwabena Tawiah said he is baffled at how the supposed prophet did nothing and now the Boko Haram insurgents have infiltrated and carried out several bombings in Nigeria.
In his view, TB Joshua who is the head of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) should concentrate on driving away Boko Haram from Nigeria and “leave Ghana alone”.
Prophet Kwabena Tawiah’s comment is in reaction to TB Joshua’s prophecy of an eminent attack on Ghana and Nigeria.
Last Sunday, the renowned prophet asked his congregation to pray against the attack which could happen either on Thursday, Friday or Saturday.
The Nigerian Prophet was emphatic in prophesying that, “I see Thursday, Friday. Pray for these two nations – Nigeria and Ghana – over gathering in any way; over an attack. I am seeing the attack and that will be in a foreign way. The attack will come not in a local way. So please open your lips and pray for these two nations for protection.”
But his prophecy has been met with a lot of criticisms with many religious bodies including the Christian Council calling on security agencies to ignore it since Ghana cannot run on “the back of prophecies.”
In support, the outspoken Kwabena Tawiah stressed that the prophecy must be treated with the contempt it deserves.
Describing TB Joshua’s prophecy as unnecessary, the Church of Rabbi leader said assuming without admitting that the prophecy is true, God would have revealed it to a Ghanaian prophet and not a foreigner.
“What is TB Joshua saying; he should leave Ghana alone and concentrate on Boko Haram in Nigeria” he fumed.
Rather, Kwabena Tawiah called on TB Joshua to support President Buhari with his prophecies to help arrest the Boko Haram insurgents terrorizing citizens in Nigeria.
