Toke Makinwa Gushes About Meeting Richard Mofe Damijo: “He is so Fine, I Almost Fainted!”

Toke Makinwa Gushes About Meeting Richard Mofe Damijo: “He is so Fine, I Almost Fainted!”

Yesterday,popular vlogger, Toke Makinwa shared a photo of herself and RMD at an African Magic event in Lagos, and the OAP couldn’t hold back from sharing her excitement.

“So I met the great RMD and he knew who I was upon meeting him,” she wrote, adding, “I almost fainted. I think I actually did. It was an out of body experience.”

Makinwa had previously clarified her stutus. The 31-year-old’s marriage to trainer Maje Ayida crumbled last year after he cheated on her and also put his mistress in the family way.

Before now, there were previous speculations that she made peace with Ayida, but the OAP set the records straight in early March. “I am single,” she wrote, driving the point home about her status.

Now, she is gushing over RMD as many fans would, but what surprised many people was that she quickly deleted the post from her Instagram page moments after posting it, leaving us wondering why.

However, we were lucky to get a screenshot, and it is hilarious reading how she captured that moment when she met the legendary actor for the first time.

Toke Makinwa reacts to claims that she has a child out of wedlock

Toke Makinwa Moving On

Toke Makinwa has decided to put out all rumours to rest after an Instagram user accused the OAP of having a mystery child outside wedlock. The lady had stated that Toke was hiding the child from the world while busy sharing selfies and photos of herself enjoying life on social media.

Many of her fans were surprised by this as we were all curious to know when, how, who she had the child for, but Toke simply deleted the “lady’s comment” from her page and kept mum about the allegations until recently.

Makinwa sat down with Saturday Beats and she addressed the claims and stated it was laughable that anyone would take such a comment seriously.

“I have been in this industry for over six years. My radio career started in 2010 and I am working with one of the most popular radio stations in Nigeria, I was on television and I have a Vlog. If I have a child, everyone would know. It is laughable and there is no iota of truth in that post,” she said.

Toke Makinwa was married to Fitness expert, Maje Ayida until their marriage crashed after she discovered he had allegedly cheated on her and also welcomed a love child with his ex-girlfriend.

Two Killed, 40 Houses Razed as Edo Communities Clash Over Mango

Two persons have been killed and 40 houses set ablaze as two communities in Akoko-Edo local government clashed over a mango tree.

The clash that occurred on Wednesday between the Uneme-Ekpedo and Bekuma-Okpameri communities started after four persons from Uneme-Ekpedo community went to a bush to pluck mangoes, but one of them was killed by youths from Bekuma-Okpameri community, who claimed the mango tree belonged to their village.

Angered by the murder of their compatriot, youths from Uneme-Ekpedo mobilized and attacked Bekuma-Okpameri, setting houses ablaze.

The palace of the traditional ruler of Bekuma-Okpameri, HRH Moses Alabi, was also torched by the rampaging youths.

According to the Nation newspaper, people injured in the attacked are now receiving treatment at an emergency camp in nearby  Lampese.

As I am talking to you, there is nobody in Bekuma-Okpameri. It was unbelievable. The youth have completely sacked the community and residents are now camped in Lampese,” a source told the Nation.

Edo State Commissioner of Police, Chris Ezike, confirmed the incident and said a fact-finding police team has been sent to the community to arrest responsible for the mayhem.

Ezike added that the police held talks with the two traditional rulers in a bid to get to the root of the issue and restore peace.

VIDEO: Kourtney Kardashian catches Ex Scott Disick in Bed With Her Sister Kendall Jenner

kourtdic

Kourtney Kardashian, 36, got the shock of her life – or did she? – when she ‘caught’ her baby daddy Scott Disick, 32, under the covers with sister Kendall Jenner, 20, on Friday.

It turned out to be just another prank put on by members of the most famous reality show family in the world with the businessman blurting out ‘April Fools!’

The Snapchat video began with the camera-wielding Kourtney combing the house for Kendall…then she came across Kylie Jenner asking curiously “Where’s Kendall?”. Kylie nonchalantly told her she thought Kendall was upstairs, so she went upstairs and into a bedroom where she saw her baby Daddy Scott cuddled in bed with Kendall.

Kourtney tells Scott that he is ‘sick’ as her camera follows him from the bedroom, down the hall and out the door.

Scott answered by saying, Yeah everyone knows how inappropriate I am. Then he turned and screamed… ‘April Fools!’

Help! “My Wife Has Taken My April Fool’s Joke All Wrong”

depressed-man

My wife has taken my April Fool joke very seriously. I decided to pull a prank on her today, and it’s almost going out of hand.

It was in the morning, and I knew she wasnt yet aware that it was April Fool’s Day. So I told her that I had a confession to make to her and it has been eating me up. I told her that I have a child outside our marriage. That I have a son who’s around 12yrs now. That I had the child before I met her, but I couldn’t tell her because I didn’t want to lose her.

She was speechless but I could tell she was shaken. She searched my eyes to know if I was joking, but I maintained my seriousness. She calmy started asking me questions to know whether I was being real, but I was already prepared for any question. By the time she was through interrogating me, she has already broken down in tears.

I continued with the joke, and I told her to please forgive me for not telling her all this while. She believed everything I said and by the time I told her it was April Fool’s joke, it was too late. She was inconsolable, and she told me it wasn’t a joke, cos she knew I was telling her the truth. She said she had always had the feeling that I had a child cos she saw it in her dream before we got married.

To cut it short, right now she’s mad at me…and she has threatened to leave with my 6 months old daughter and abandon our 3 yr-old marriage. She has already called her mum and sister and narrated the whole thing.

So, guys plz I need una help right now. My own April Fool prank has gone all wrong. What can I do?

“By God’s grace I will like to go to the House of Reps in 2019” – Kemi Olunloyo says

Kemi-Omololu-Olunloyo-680x365_c

In an interview with Pulse TV, social media personality Kemi Olunloyo, 51, reveals that she wants to run for office in the next general elections.

In the interview she noted that Oyo state does not give female politicians a chance.

“Do I have a chance? It’s very tough. Oyo does not pick women for anything. Women are deputy governors elsewhere. In the Yoruba land Ogun, Lagos even Ekiti, Osun they all have women deputies. Oyo will not pick a woman deputy governor?”

She further said “By God’s grace I will like to go to the House of Reps in 2019 if I find a great sponsor. I am getting some positive vibes from some parties right now. I am not going to reveal the parties yet, but some positive vibes to be a lawmaker.”

In her previous clip Kemi Olunloyo spoke about the rejected Gender Equality Bill.

“I was disgusted and I told the International Business Times that gender equality is a must in Nigeria. The people who didn’t pass this bill are going to have more daughters than sons. I am a very big fan of gender sensitivity”

Kemi Olunloyo also spoke about why she revealed that her father and other politicians go to ritualists.

Man Remanded In Prison For Stealing Infant Formula To Feed Crying Baby. (Photo)

Infant Baby formula-thief

A man who allegedly stole an infant formula worth N45,000 in a supermarket has pleaded for forgiveness. The 28-year-old suspect, Nurudeen Sulaimon, allegedly stole the formula to feed his crying new born baby.

There were different accounts on the circumstance that led to the act. A version said his wife was delivered of a baby last week Saturday, but had difficulty in breast feeding the baby, as her breasts were not bringing out milk. Though the baby was reportedly given water to drink but he kept crying, apparently yearning for milk that could sustain him.

Another version had it that the angry nursing mother, who was discharged the following day from hospital, had a verbal confrontation with her husband over his inability to provide milk for their baby. Nurudeen Irked by the humiliation, Sulamon, according to report, charged out of his apartment on Easter Monday, with a promise to get the infant formula.

He was said to have gone to a supermarket on Oduso close where he allegedly stole some tins of SMS Gold infant formula, unknown to him that he was being viewed from the Close Circuit Television installed in the supermarket. Consequently, he was accosted on his way out of the supermarket by the private security men and handed over to policemen at Igando police station from where he was charged to court.

At the station, he reportedly pleaded passionately to be forgiven, blaming his indulgence on poverty, adding that he resorted to stealing because he could not withstand the cry of his new born baby for food. At the court, he pleaded not guilty.

The presiding Magistrate, Mr A. A. Fashola granted Sulamon bail in the sum of N50,000 with one surety in like sum. He was remanded in prison custody at Kirikiri pending when he will perfect his bail, while the case was adjourned till April 27.

Ogunbiyi

Rapid Response Squad (RRS) operative, Corporal Nasir Abdul, was yesterday knocked down by a hit-and-run driver, who was trying to evade arrest for traffic offence, The Nation reports.

Abdul was rushed to the nearby Accident and Emergency Centre at the Old Toll Gate following the accident, which occurred on Ikosi Road around 5pm.

The driver, Yusuf Ogunbiyi, 35, an auto–technician was chased and arrested at his workshop on Ogundele Street, off Ikosi Road by another team of RRS riders.

Ogunbiyi, who drove a Toyota Sienna 2003 model marked LSD 573 DR, said he was going to Oregun from Mowe, adding:

“I got to 7up, I didn’t know the outlet from Ikosi Road was one-way, I entered it and I was waved down by a Traffic Police Officer and a Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) official but I tried to evade them, unknowing to me, an RRS rider was equally trying to stop me but the vehicle was too close to him, I swerved off immediately in a bid to escape.
“But, I ended up knocking him (RRS rider) off the road with the bumper. I was too shock and afraid, even though my colleagues in the car told me to stop, I sped off. They traced me to my workshop and that was where I was arrested.“I am sorry for everything; I didn’t know that place is one-way. I just finished my apprenticeship and looking for funds for my graduation.”

Danfo Bus Driver & His Conductor Rape Helpless Job Seeker Multiple Times

ZOOdoon 144

The police in Lagos have arrested a commercial bus driver, identified only as Akeem, and his conductor, Sodiq, for allegedly robbing and raping a 22-year-old lady in the Costain, Iponri area of the state.

Akeem and Sodiq, along with two others still at large, had picked the victim, Mercy (pseudonym) from the Obalende area, and were supposed to head for the Victoria Island where the victim reportedly had a job interview.

Mercy, who hails from Otupko, Benue State, and holds a Nigerian Certificate in Education, on March 10, had been called by a friend to attend the job interview.

The suspects allegedly diverted to the Costain, Iponri area, assuring their victim that they were only taking a different route to the island.

When the bus got to Costain, under the bridge, the four allegedly robbed Mercy of her ATM card, her purse and other documents. The suspects also allegedly raped the lady before driving off.

After the robbery, the victim went to report the matter at the Iponri Police Division.

The suspects were not found until last Tuesday when members of a vigilance group in the area, who were also informed about the matter, nabbed the driver and his conductor and handed them over to the police.

Speaking with Punch, Mercy said the suspects confused her because she was new in Lagos and she was not familiar with most of the roads.

She said, “On that day, I was at Obalende when my friend called me that there was a job interview on the Victoria Island. So I entered a bus heading to the area. Not long after, three men entered as well. The driver drove towards CMS; when I inquired, the other passengers said I should be calm as he was still heading for the Island. I thought he was trying to avoid the traffic.

“When we got to the bridge in Costain, they stopped and they collected my purse, mobile phone, ATM card, PIN and N2,000 cash on me. After they left, I told my elder brother that some men had attacked me.

“He came and we both went to the Iponri division to make a report, but the robbers had withdrawn N120,000 through the ATM.”

An executive of the vigilance group, Ishola Musbau, said, “The case of a jobseeker being raped and robbed by miscreants was brought to our attention. It took us two weeks to fish out Akeem and Sodiq, and the victim identified them.

“The driver and the conductor were apprehended at a hideout in Itumara, Costain, where they usually gathered for robbery operations.”
