Deputy Governor of Edo State Dr. Pius Odubu, yesterday escaped death by the whiskers when gunmen shot at him.
The incident happened at the secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Auchi as the deputy governor was receiving a delegation, The Nation reports.
The attack took place a few minutes after Governor Adams Oshiomhole and Odubu left a party organised by Damian Lawani, representative of the Estako Central Constituency in the House of Assembly.
The gunmen reportedly invaded the secretariat and opened fire on the deputy governor and others at the meeting.
Five persons were said to have been critically injured, including the Guard Commander of the Deputy Governor’s Police team who covered his boss during the invasion.
A Law student schooling in the United Kingdom said the man seen in the photo above gave her £50 (almost 15k in Nigerian currency) because she has a beautiful smile.
The guy’s moves are tight though but I’d be damned if he just gave the girl the money only without even asking her for her number. Pfft! Nigerian guy… hehe.
He says he feels like slapping himself after he spoke with Tiwa Savage on phone.
He wrote:
I got off the phone with @tiwasavage last night and I felt deflated. I went to bed immediately after, but sleep was far from me. I tossed and turned all night without successfully getting one wink of sleep. The 45 minutes I spoke to her haunted me, and our conversation replayed itself over and over again.
She was so polite, a well brought up Yoruba lady who was visibly hurt, but not for once was she rude to me. Our conversation was mostly in Yoruba and I couldn’t help but notice that despite the fact that she wasn’t happy with my previous post, she still addressed me with the ‘e’ the Yoruba tribe employ, when speaking to older people. Her tone was calm and she passed her message across to me with the utmost courtesy, showcasing her pristine upbringing. I sensed pain in her voice and it was that pain that kept me up. Tiwa is a good woman, a strong woman. I could see that she still cared about TJ when she asked if I had spoken to him.
I’m going to be 40 in a few days, and if there is anything I give myself credit for, it’s the fact that I am a good judge of character. What I felt when speaking to her was genuine. I wanted to slap myself for being bit insensitive in my last post but, I guess it’s too late for regrets now, it’s gone along with her interview and his posts, into the unforgiving archives of the Internet, never to be forgotten. As I started my drive towards @coolfmlagos this morning to preach on the gospel show #PraiseJam where I will be speaking till 11am, it occurred to me that we all have to stop blaming either party and focus on praying for both of them. T billz and Tiwa are both at a fragile state, and it is so unfortunate that this matter has been brought before a fanged public ready to tear us all up for their amusement. Like @official2baba said, don’t make jokes about a serious matter, instead, remember them in your prayers. I love you Tiwa, I love you Billz, there is a light at the end of this tunnel, GOD is your strength and he will see you through this!
Renowned fashion designer Toyin Lawani‘s daughter, Tiannah turned 11 on Friday and to celebrate her daughter, she released these beautiful birthday photos of the youngster.
It was quite tragic on Saturday morning when the mother of a bride was allegedly shot dead by a soldier at the Ekpan Junction, Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta.
Vanguard reports that the deceased was on her way to the wedding ceremony of her daughter when the incident occurred. The first son of the deceased, Alero said a keke operator flouted the soldier’s order when he was flagged down and the soldier opened fire leading to the deceased death.
According to him, this reason is not enough for one of the soldiers to release bullets on my mother. The sister told newsmen at the Ekpan Police station that the killer-soldier had been whisked away by members of the JTF contrary to reports that he had been arrested.
She also said that colleagues of the killer-soldier at the roadblock had been taken to Warri Area Command for questioning.
“They have not arrested the soldier. JTF whisked him away. His colleagues at the road block together with him are now at Warri Area Command.
“It was my mother that was shot not my sister that is wedding today. She was coming for the wedding,” she said.
The Delta Police Public Relations Officer, DSP. Celestina Kalu, and the Warri Area Commander, Mohammed Muazu, could not be reached for comment.
Well. this is a first, as the duchess of Cambridge has never been seen posing for the cameras of a fashion magazine… Not until these stunning photos of her which have just emerged online.
In a series of picture portraits celebrating the 100th anniversary of British Vogue, Kate Middleton stuns as the June cover girl.
British Vogue and the National Portrait Gallery collaborated on the series of photographic portraits which show a dressed-down and casual Kate relaxing in the countryside.
A few days ago, when Tunji Balogun had a meltdown on Instagram…Part of his rants was when he called out the mother of his “ex-wife” Tiwa Savage and branded her as a witch..
In his words:
Please just take care of JamJam. I sacrificed my life for you and put in work and my money to your sucess. You are Tiwa Savage the super star now right. You will never have peac with that fame. Your mother wants to turn me to what she turned your DAD to? I will rather Die. Ask her to confess what’s she’s done to me! All I did was look out for your sucess and forgeries g who I am
I’m sorry Olabisi, Gaetano, Onah and Jamil. All daddy wanted to do is be a good father and take care all of you but they won’t let me. I have been fighting this spiritual battle since I was a kid my mother and father can testify. Went from family battle to mother inlaws battle. @tiwasavage ask your mother to confess what she’s done to me
Finally, 2face Idibia has said something about the Tiwa Savage sleeping with 2face Palava..
In a post shared on his Twitter page, the legendary singer clapped back at people who have had unkind things to say about the Mavin queen.
“I’m so disgusted at some people that have been making distasteful jokes out of people’s real life heartbreaking predicament,” the singer said, adding, “GOD forgive u.”
I'm so disgusted at some people that have been making distasteful jokes out of people's real life heartbreaking predicament. GOD forgive u
Recall that during his epic rants of two days ago, Tee Billz accused his wife Tiwa Savage of sleeping with with 2baba, Dr SID and Don Jazzy, and then he attempted to commit suicide.
Now, 2baba has spoken up. Many fans are also expecting the Mavin team to join in support of their frontline star at this trying time, by releasing a statement.
Tiwa Salvage says she will always allow her estranged husband to have access to their son. As a Yoruba woman, she is totally in the wrong here. This is more so because the Yoruba people have three phases of marriage: the Introduction, the Engagement and the Registry, Church or Mosque Ceremony.
The most significant of the three stages is the engagement proper which is often conducted under the Yoruba Customary Marriage Act.
The Act states that the children of the union between a husband and a wife belong to the father and if the father dies, the children belong to his immediate family. Tiwa’s husband has all the rights over their child, according to the Yoruba culture and tradition, which are laws in Yoruba land.
However, this tradition is not the same as those of the White in America or the English from the United Kingdom, where more often than not it is the wife who has the custody of the children. In Yorubaland, it is the father who has the custody. Tiwa, therefore has no right whatsoever over the child of her union with the husband. She is in Lagos, Yorubaland and not in New York or London.
I have done this post to educate the gullible Yoruba Youth who may have watched Tiwa’s video. On reflection, I am, however disturbed on the mores and mishaps that increasingly afflict love and marriage among young Yorubas.
Our society expects us all to get married. With only rare exceptions, we all do just that. Getting married is a rather complicated business.
It involves mastering certain complex hustling and courtship games, the rituals and the ceremonies that celebrate the act of marriage, and finally the difficult requirements of domestic life with a husband or wife.
It is an enormously elaborate round of activities, much more so than finding a job, and yet while many resolutely remain unemployed, few remain unmarried.
Now all this would not be particularly remarkable if there were no question about the advantages, the joys, and the rewards of married life, but most Yoruba, even young Yoruba, know or have heard that marriage is a hazardous affair.
Of course, for all the increase in divorce, there are still young marriages that work, unions made by young men and women intelligent or fortunate enough to find the kind of mates they want, who know that they want children and how to love them when they come, or who find the artful blend between giving and receiving.
It is not these marriages that concern us here, and that is not the trend in Yoruba today. We are concerned with the increasing number of others who, with mixed intentions and varied illusions, grope or fling themselves into marital disaster.
They talk solemnly and sincerely about working to make their marriage succeed, but they are very aware of the countless marriages they have seen fail.
But young people in particular do not seem to be able to relate the awesome divorce statistics to the probability of failure of their own marriage. And they rush into it, in increasing numbers, without any clear idea of the reality that underlies the myth.
I can only hope Tiwa and her husband find the grace to work things out on their own.
Danish aid worker, Anja Ringgin Loven shared new photos of Hope who was left for dead in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State after being branded a witch.
“Today its exactly 3 months ago since David and I and our team found Hope in a village, Unclad, alone and almost dead ! Sometimes I think Im dreaming because its truly a miracle that this little boy survived” she wrote alongside new photos of the little boy and another photo taken on the day he was rescued.
Following Nigerian pop star, Tiwa Savage’s explosive interview that hit the internet last night and all the fresh revelations that came from it, NET reporters have sought to get advice from ladies of the University of Lagos (Unilag), who have varying words for singer on the trending news of her marriage collapse.
You know say I be insider, so I know every. Dem tell you no marry this guy, just keep working with him but as she don cast reach, she no get choice. Now every thing don turn, two of them get all the fault. – Omanudhowo Ogaga, Actuarial Science
But she doesn’t have any excuse when she says Teebillz has an alcohol problem. She saw that problem before she agreed to marry him. – Okporo Julia, Acturial Science
May God save us all from hypocritical men. The type of men that don’t want us to succeed. – Yetunde, Actuarial Science
The guys is useless, he’s not worth it. – Seriki Habibat, Microbiology
She should leave him fast fast before he ruins her. – Ocloo Tolulope, Chemistry
Make Tiwa no shout again, she don try. – Idris Rasheedat
Tiwa is a really hardworking lady, so she should stop crying. I understand how she feels, so I’ll just advice that she should be patient and just follow her heart. – Adekunmisi Wonuola
From day one, they’ve both not been compatible. If she’s not happy, she should just leave. She has her mistakes too, but they are both not happy, they’ve never been. She should just leave. – Ibidolapo Ojerinde
Some students of Babcock University on the other-hand had this to say:
She should divorce joor. – Shodeinde Bimbo, Nursing, 300l
I really don’t know who to believe because Tiwa’s side of story is so different from her husband’s own. The problem with most men is that they don’t like seeing their woman having upper hand. Tiwa is a strong lady, and I feel if she could keep those things to herself, then she could make her marriage work out but I think she has made up her mind already. – Dokunmu Olayinka, Accounting, 400l
I’ll advice her to focus on raising her child and never to go back to marriage with Tee jay. – Adeniran Wuraola, Public Health, 300l
I think she should leave the marriage and hold on to God. – Adeniran Opemipo 300l, Public Administration
I really think she just has to leave him o. The guy is a mad man o. He hasn’t even spent a dime on their child! Who does that? Even if he’s having issues with the wife it shouldn’t affect the child na and he’s cheating too so she’s justified in every way. – Omojola Tamilore, Public Health, 300l
Honestly I feel she should walk away from the marriage for now, let things cool down for a while and when he comes back to his senses and he’s ready to talk back she should give it a shot. – Mrs Adeniran
I’m confused as to what I think she should do but I feel she should walk away from the marriage and let go for now. He probably needs space and therapy as he seems to be suffering from inferiority complex. There’s nothing wrong in a woman being the breadwinner as long as there’s care and support from the other party. – Omodele Precious, Public Health, 300l
Let her divorce. She is not happy in the marriage and that’s very bad. Imagine she says she doesn’t care again if she doesn’t get married again, she is really pained, she pays for every thing and yet he doesn’t appreciate. What did he use 45 million for? – Pearl Buwa, Accounting 300l
I really don’t know what to say. I kinda feel bad for her though. She should move on with her life and child. – Kini-Abasi Oscar, Accounting 300l
Its really sad. I really don’t know because this is a marital issue and she said she has had enough and he has been sleeping with other women that’s enough to leave that man to himself. – Victor, Medical Laboratory Science 300l
and a comment we came across…
Dear Tiwa Savage This Serves you Right What Else Did you expect will Happen? Live Happily Ever After? Godforbid! After you Snatched TeeBillz From Another Woman who already bore him 2 kids, If you like Cry Blood – Amaka Chinedu
Today, Davido’s controversial team member – Special Spesh decided to make a mistake by wading into the sad drama involving Tiwa Savage and her husband – Tee Billz.
“Lie detector in Naija!!” He wrote on Snapchat, and in another post, added, “Tee aint holy but all this is long and wrong. My n*** is not perfect but don’t paint him like this. Nobody holy o.”
But Spesh was not yet done. The HKN hypeman who has been known to post pornographic content on his social media with more criticisms, captioned snapshots of the interview with derogatory remarks like “Nollywood, u gat one coming.”
See his posts:
However, Nigerians on social media are not letting Spesh off easily. On Instagram, many have taken to his page to drag him for filth, with some unfairly body-shaming him, but the point driven home is their irritation with the rants they perceive as a slight on Savage’s brand.
It’s Saturday….and it’s time for another Episode off YabaLeftOnline Comedy Series – A weekly Comedy Series by the YabaLeftOnline.com Team released every Saturday.
Joan meets with a Popular Guy on Twitter..and they Hit it off..She hasn’t seen his pictures..But the Guy has seen hers…
So They decided to hook up and go on a “Blind Date”….Was The Twitter Guy up to Joan’s Expectation? – Find Out!
On Air Personality, Daddy Freeze has amongst other celebrities, weighed in on Tiwa Savage‘s tell-all interview where she revealed a lot of secrets about the breakdown of her marriage to TeeBillz…
Unlike some celebrities, he’s not on Tiwa‘s side.
See what he wrote:
Dear Tiwa,
I have nothing but love for you, but after I watched all 45 mins or so of your interview, I am a bit disappointed.
Tiwa, I know it hurts when a relationship breaks down, and those accusations T Billz made were extremely hurtful, nonetheless, I believe you could have employed caution when responding, since according to you, he was unstable and suicidal.
In law, if for instance, you walk in on your man in bed with another woman and you shoot him on the spot, you could get a lighter sentence, if your legal counsel argues provocation. On the flip side, if you walk out of the scene to get a gun and then launch an attack, it’s now considered premeditated.
The fact that you granted a ‘pitch perfect’ interview, with a flawless visual background and superb audio quality, in my opinion looks a bit premeditated.
If you had denied all his accusations and asked to swear on ayelala or amadioha or sango as against the lie detector test, since on no instance has a polygraph ever been used in Nigeria, and if afterwards you had requested for privacy, as you deal with such a sensitive issue, this matter would have been laid to rest. How are you going to tell Nigerians not to talk about issues you ‘used your own hand’ to make public? This could only serve to further delay your healing.
Even though my prayer is for your issues to be resolved and for joy to return to your home, the breakdown of a marriage is not the end of the world, I have been through it and my world did not end. However, do you realize that the interview you gave could lead to the end of TJ’s world? Who is now going to hire, work with, or have any business dealings with an unstable, adulterous, fraudulent, cocaine sniffer who cannot manage money and has his priorities misplaced? Whether you like it or not, that is what the interview has delineated him to be. In furtherance to this, if he was suicidal before, this interview is only going to make him even more suicidal!
I know you both love Jamil so in all this drama, lets be very careful to shield him, as the Internet never forgets and his friends and classmates will always have his father’s tweets along with your interview as points of reference.

It was released yesterday of an interview was which Tiwa Savage explosively spilled the beans on her marriage to Tee Billz after he ranted on his Instagram about his own problems with her.
The singer opened up on how her marriage had even ended over a while now, talking on her husband’s unfaithfulness, how he stole from her and has not spent a dime on their son.
She also revealed he took cocaine and his recent outburst on social media has only made it easier for her to walk away from him.
There have been mixed reactions concerning the issue as on one hand, majority sympathize with her, while on the other, some felt she is playing the victim and only trying to protect her brand which was threatened by the derogatory things her husband and one time manager, Tee Billz said.

Foreign pop-star, Justin Bieber debuted his new look few hours ago. The singer who was previously rocking longer blonde hair shaved the whole thing off.
A notorious burglar, identified as Samson Ugbusun, has been arrested after he made love overtures to the daughter of one of his victims.
Samson, a bricklayer, had stolen two mobile phones from his victims after breaking into their homes at Etete in Oredo Local Government Area of Edo State.
After the successful operation, he called a number belonging to the daughter of one of his victim and invited her to spend the night at his apartment, the Nation reports.
Samson was nabbed after the girl, who had played along, revealed his whereabouts. Speaking to newsmen after his arrest, Samson said he took to crime to raise money to carry out the burial ceremony of his late father.
According to him:
“I stole handsets at Etete, through the window around 11pm. I removed the handset through the window of the house by tearing the net. This is my first time.”
“I saw her (victim’s daughter) number on the phone I stole. I called the girl and told her that I love her. She came and spent the night with me and went back to school.
A woman convicted of cutting a foetus from a stranger’s womb after luring her to her home with an online advert for free maternity clothes has been jailed for 100 years, Daily Mirror reports.
Dynel Catrece Lane stabbed expectant mum Michelle Wilkins with a kitchen knife and ripped out her unborn baby in the gruesome attack in March last year.
Wilkins, who was seven months pregnant, survived the stabbing at Lane’s home in Longmont, Colorado, but her baby daughter died.
Lane, 35, was convicted of attempted murder, assault and unlawfully terminating a pregnancy in February following a trial in Boulder.
Prosecutors said Lane faked a pregnancy and then, after her husband became suspicious about whether she in fact was carrying a child, she took out an advertisement on the website Craigslist to lure a pregnant woman with an offer of maternity clothes.
Wilkins testified that when she went to Lane’s home, responding to the advertisement, the older woman bludgeoned, stabbed and choked her until she passed out.
When her husband returned home, Lane told him that she suffered a miscarriage and he rushed her to a hospital along with the dead foetus, police said.
It’s no news that Beyonce‘s new album Lemonade has caused debates and speculation about Jay Z‘s alleged infidelity. However,it has been claimed he was actually involved throughout the whole process.
According to E! News, Beyonce created Lemonade to heal and Jay Z understood the need for her to..
“They had been having problems for years,” reveals a source close to the couple. “There was a constant commitment issue between them and in the end they were barely speaking. Beyoncé didn’t fully trust Jay and it was hard for her to get past that.”They went to a lot of counseling and have been working on their issues ever since. They had help to get them through it.
Out of the pain came Beyoncé’s masterpiece, Lemonade. It was a project that ran the risk of becoming a breakup album; but it managed to transition into so much more and, in the end, told a story of love and hope, of betrayal and sorrow, of trusting your instincts, of denial.
Jay Z has been fully on board with how Beyoncé has chosen to deal with her hurt.
“He is fully supportive. He understands the reasoning,” another insider tells us. “This is part of the process of being transparent. And they have healed. He has been very humble about the experience. Beyoncé is the love of his life and he will do what it takes.
“Jay was involved in the creation of Lemonade and knew every song Bey was going to release. He knew the lyrics; he knew the implications. He had to approve the songs before release. Jay is a very smart businessman…Bottom line is that they are both really smart and they both saw dollar signs.”
According to another source,
“Beyoncé is amazed on how everything turned out. She worked day and night on this. She celebrated with family; Jay was by her side. When Beyoncé put this album together she was aware of the message she was sending out. She knew that people were going to dissect each word. Beyoncé wanted to connect with women’s emotions with this album.”
As for the cheating implications, the source says:
“Jay is all about self-expression, so he gets it. Beyoncé shares music before it’s released with Jay so he can listen and share his thoughts. When it comes to music, they are very in it together and supportive of each other’s craft.”
Nursing mothers here in this remote region in Rajasthan, a state in northern India, have taken in orphaned and injured fawns for more than half a century – and couldn’t imagine it being any other way.
‘These baby deers are my life and they’re like my own children,’ said Mangi Devi Bishnoi, 45, a housewife from one of the villages.‘I feed them milk and food and ensure they’re given proper care and attention in the house like all my family members.
. ‘They are not orphans when they have us around, they have new mothers like me who offer them a mother’s feed for a healthy life.’
Roshini Bishnoi, 21, a student in one of the villages, told MailOnline:
I have grown up with these little deers. They’re like my brother or sister. It is our responsibility to keep them healthy and help them grow. We play with them and we communicate with each other, they understand our language.’
Neighbour Ram Jeevan Bishnoi, 24, added:
We do not see them as just animals. They are very much like a family member.
We take care of everything they may need to live a healthy life. We keep them protected in our house so that dangerous animals like wild dogs do not harm them. If they’re injured we keep them safe in our house and treat them like our children.
‘My parents have never differentiated between a baby deer and me. We are one family and it is in our religion to protect them.’
The Bishnoi community, which comprises of around 2,000 homes, have followed the Hindu Guru Sri Jambeshwar Bhagwan since the 15th century and religiously obey 29 rules suggested by their Guru.
One is the protection and love of animals and nature. They take care of the flora, fauna and protect the animals from the summer heat or potential poachers.
However, the deer is believed to be a sacred animal of the community and is given special attention.
