Captain of the Super Eagles, John Mikel Obi, has criticized Egypt’s players after Friday’s 1-1 draw in Kaduna.
Oghenekaro Etebo scored for Nigeria, before Mohamed Salah equalized in the 90th minute.
The goal came after defender Godfrey Oboabona had fallen on the pitch and the Egyptians refused to play the ball out.
“I think we played very well but we lost a lot of chances that we created that could have fetched us total victory in today’s match against Egypt,” Mikel told media.
“Everybody is saying we lost the game in the last three minutes but all I can say is that fair play is fair play, it doesn’t matter, fair play is fair play.
“Okay you can say we should have concentrated a little more, but Fair Play is Fair Play. This is cheating, that is all I can say. It happens in Egypt, it happens everywhere. It doesn’t matter how many minutes it is, you have to allow it. It is the referee that controls the game.”
So, yesterday before the Super Eagles vs. Egypt match, Angry fans yesterday mobbed Super Eagles’ captain, John Mikel Obi, for failing to take selfies with them at the teams’ hotel, African Continental Hotel in Kaduna, shortly before the commencement of the match.
See moment one of them ran into the pitch and gave Mikel a hug during their warm up session.
One of the fans who had shown great interest in having a selfie with Mikel, expressed his sadness
over Mikel’s refusal, saying:
“Why should Mikel Mikel Obi send me away after the likes of Odion Ighalo, Ahmed Musa, Moses Simon, Alex Iwobi, allowed me to take selfie with them? I see no reason for Mikel to send me and other fans who appreciate him away,” the fan lamented.
This one finally succeeded but was given the chase of his life.
Actor Yemi Solade who has once been involved in several controversies surrounding mistresses and girlfriends – recently took to his instagram page to show off his wife Hannah, son and daughter, Femi and Rola Solade.
For the mother and siblings of Dr Suraj Giwa, who was killed on February 26, 2005, in an auto-crash caused by jailed actress, Ibinabo Fiberesima’s reckless driving, it has been a hard, long road to getting a semblance of closure over his death.
Until that fateful day, Giwa was the Head of the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department at the General Hospital, Lagos.
He was heading home from Ajah with two of his relations, when an SUV driven by the actress smashed into his vehicle across the median and killed him instantly.
Biola, his younger sister granted Punch an extensive interview where she said Ibinabo lied and that she is suffering today because of the way she conducted herself after the accident. Excerpts from the revealing cintinue below.
Were you in Nigeria when your brother, Dr. Giwa died?
I have always lived in the US. I was home when the accident happened. I have been living in the US
for the past 33 years. We have forgiven Ibinabo. We have moved on with our lives. My mum is still alive. She cannot talk to anybody on this issue. It is going to be a fresh wound. Some people are saying we have not forgiven her. But that is not true. The Giwa family has moved on. It was an accident and accidents do happen. When people go out every day, I don’t think anybody sets his or her mind to go out and kill somebody.
So why is Ibinabo’s own different?
It wouldn’t have been like this. It was just the way she conducted herself after the accident. When the accident happened, she fled the scene of the accident. She doesn’t have good advisers. The state government had to find out who the owner of the car she was driving was. That was when it was found out that the car belonged to Daniel Wilson.
Didn’t you know who Ibinabo was then?
My first time of hearing that name was the day of the accident. I had been in the US for over 20 years then and there was no way I would have known anything about her then. I had another brother who was also in the car when that accident happened. You can imagine two people of the same mother and father in that car. They didn’t try to help them out, they all ran and left the scene of the accident.
But some eyewitnesses said Ibinabo didn’t flee but was rushed to the hospital…
If some other people were in the car with her, what about those people? How come they didn’t try to help? Somebody should have stayed at that scene to say he or she was with Ibinabo. But nobody said anything. And how come the eyewitness is coming out now to talk? Where was he all these years? I read he said my brother was shouting, ‘I am a doctor, don’t hold me like that.’ But that is a lie. Have they forgotten that there were other occupants in the car?
Did you meet your brother alive when you got to the scene?
No. The other car was right on top of his car. The other occupants were able to crawl out.
We learnt you said you would never forgive Ibinabo and you would make sure she was sent to jail…
Why would I want to say that? Is it not God that forgives? I don’t even know her, so why would I say I wasn’t going to forgive her? I didn’t know who she was. We weren’t even bothered about her. My mother had two kids in that car. My brother’s wife came from England and we were having a prayer session. That was when I saw Ibinabo. Would I say anything like that during a prayer session? We were all crying. One of them went to my husband and somehow, it was arranged that they meet me. My other brother who was involved in the accident works in the US and he had to go back. He asked me to stay for a little while so that one of us would be with our mother. I had to stay.
But did you at any point have a one on one discussion with her?
God is my witness, my husband was also there, she got out of the car and she came to me. The people she came with were just somewhere there, they didn’t even come close. I asked her what she wanted and she said she had come to plead so that the charges would be dropped. I told her it wasn’t between us and her but between the state government and her. But I told her I would rather give her an advice that would work for her. I told her if I were in her shoes, I would apologise publicly to the masses and also to the family. I advised her to throw herself to the mercy of the court. If she had done that, people would know she was remorseful and they would know she had indeed apologised. But she said she wasn’t going to do that. She said it would damage her career.
Believe me, if not that so many eyes were on us, I would have kicked her for saying that. My husband was beside me when she said that. He even looked at me. I couldn’t believe it. What? Dr. Giwa was the head of physical rehabilitation medicine in LASUTH. He was the only one that had that credential then in Lagos State. Dr. Giwa was valuable to the state. He had helped a lot of people out. We have forgiven her; my mother has moved on, Dr. Giwa’s kids have moved on.
Weren’t you offered money as a form of compensation?
What money? We don’t need her money! We are all good! Dr. Giwa wasn’t the only breadwinner. Every one of us is doing very well.
But we learnt you threatened to kill her…
I learnt they said I said I would go and kill her. But why would I do that? I hadn’t ever heard of her name before then. I had never seen her before. If I had wanted to kill her, I would have killed a lot of people since I didn’t know the identity of the person I wanted to kill. I wasn’t going to do anything to her.
Was it that what you needed from Ibinabo was public apology because we learnt she kept apologising to the family and nobody wanted to listen to her…
Did she apologise publicly? I just wanted her to apologise publicly so that people would know she was remorseful. But I don’t think it was a wrong advice I gave her. She couldn’t apologise publicly back then but now, she wants Nigerians to pray for her. But I say it again; it is not me versus Ibinabo. It is not Giwa’s family versus Ibinabo. I am married and I am still with my husband with three wonderful children. My kids are all grown. What do I need from her? We are not in the same age group. I am older than her for God’s sake. I am in my 50s and I am the youngest of my mother’s kids. I am even good because if you talk to my other sisters, they would be ranting. She couldn’t apologise publicly because she put her career ahead of her.
But Ibinabo reportedly said she had been visiting your family in Nigeria here but she was warned not to come close again…
But that is a lie! How could she say that? My mother is in Lagos. Ibinabo has never visited my mother! My mother does not even remember her name. She doesn’t know if Ibinabo is white or black. Why would we warn her from visiting my mother? I read that story in the papers and I had to ask myself what is wrong with her. If she truly said that, then she lied. She doesn’t have good advisers, I must tell you that again.
Some people said you are jealous of her…
How can I be jealous of Ibinabo? I am married and I have three wonderful kids with the same man. I am very successful. I am an accountant. It can be annoying when you hear some things. We had the memorial service for my brother some weeks ago…
Was it before the judgement?
Oh yes! The case had dragged on for so long. The magistrate court had found Ibinabo guilty. The DPP department took over the case; we weren’t the ones that took her to court. It has never been us. They found her guilty and sentenced her to prison for five years with an option of N100, 000 fine. So who wouldn’t look for N100, 000 to pay? Are you saying the life of the doctor was worth just N100, 000? The state went to high court and the high court found her guilty and said the N100, 000 should be returned to Ibinabo. The court said there shouldn’t have been an option of fine. Ibinabo went to appeal. It is all about her ego. The appeal court dragged on so long. Believe me, I never knew the case was still on.
Are you saying you people weren’t following the case all along?
No. People just told me about this judgement last Friday. Some people called me from Nigeria and I was even amazed that the case was still on. I have already moved on with my life. I do come to Nigeria and I spend some time but it has never been because of this case.
What if she eventually apologises publicly?
I keep saying this; it is not between us and her. I don’t have anything to say on this case. It doesn’t matter to me now if she does or not. If she does it now and the government decides she has been remorseful and pardons her, so be it. I don’t know who the judge is, I don’t know if he is a man or woman. I don’t even know who is handling the case. If she apologises now, it wouldn’t have anything to do with me. It is a broken wound. I only gave her advice then and she didn’t take it. I can’t even recognise most of these actors and actresses in Nigeria. I hardly watch Nigerian movies; I don’t have the time because I am very busy.
We learnt you were excited about the judgement…
No. I wasn’t when I heard it. I was not excited and I was not sorrowful either. I just said we needed to thank the justice system because the case was delayed for so long. If we don’t thank them, they will not put people to order, they would think they could do anything and get away with it. Accidents happen and that is why it is called accident. But your attitude towards it is what matters most. Some people have accidents less than this and you would see how remorseful they would be.
But couldn’t the Giwa’s family have asked the state to drop the case?
No. It is not done that way. It is not done like that in the US where we live. I wouldn’t know if it is done like that in Nigeria. You don’t even tamper with the judicial system. If you are taken to court, then you are taken to court. Justice is in the hand of God.
How did your mother take his death?
It wasn’t easy. She didn’t have High Blood Pressure before but she developed it after that incident. We had to rally around her. But she also believed God has given and God has taken. She was able to manage and we helped her.
Don’t you think Ibinabo has suffered enough? She was in jail at some point…
She was in jail for about three weeks and she was bailed out. Nobody is above the law. I always behave myself. I always pray to God that I don’t get involved in any kind of accident. I always beg God not to take me through accident. I don’t want to hit anybody and I don’t want anybody to hit me. I can’t go to the government and ask them to drop the case.
Are you still in touch with the doctor’s family?
Of course, they are my family. One just came here. We communicate all the time. We travel to the UK to see them too.
US pastor plans to seal himself inside coffin for 3 days to recreate Jesus’ resurrection (Photos)
A Louisiana pastor is going “extreme” this year for his church’s Easter program by getting sealed in a coffin for three days and emerging on Easter morning.
Bishop Rickey Moore with Sunrise Baptist Church said his church is presenting a four-part drama this Easter weekend, starting at 1 p.m. on Good Friday, including Jesus’ trial, the garden of Gethsemane, the crucifixion, and the entombment.
He told KDAM-TV in Mississippi his time in the coffin is no stunt but just his attempt to save souls and get people to accept Jesus. He’ll spend his time praying and fasting, he said.
It’s unclear how Bishop Moore is going to pull off such a feat, or handle his bodily functions considering he plans on remaining inside of the casket until 3 am Easter morning. He assured his parishioners that he’ll be in the coffin the whole time.
Manchester United have reportedly tabled down a staggering £60m contract to make Jose Mourinho their new manager as they seek a swift return to the glory days.
The three-year deal offered by the Red Devils dwarfs the £15million a year which Manchester City are paying Pep Guardiola, potentially making Mourinho the world’s highest earning coach.
The contract, which will include bonuses for titles and cups won, is reportedly double the salary of current Old Trafford boss Louis van Gaal.
Meanwhile, Mourinho has made it clear he will not allow David de Gea to leave Old Trafford when he takes charge, and will make retaining the goalkeeper one of United’s top priorities when he takes control.
Spanish giants Real Madrid came close to signing the shot-stopper last summer, but an error in the paperwork saw the deal fall through at the last minute.
De Gea has since penned a new deal at Old Trafford, and Spanish media outlet Don Balon claims Mourinho will veto any fresh approach from Real Madrid.
So, a few hours ago, a South African Fan of Davido took to her instagram to flirt with Baba Imade.
In the spirit of Easter, the young lady identified with her IG handle as @Sne_Pearl shared a photo of the singer on her page and captioned it with a prayer: Dear sweet baby Jesus
Just ONE night…that’s all I’m asking…just ONE.
When asked by one of her followers why she wanted a one night stand with the star, she stated that she wanted to have his babies.
The big fan didn’t stop there, she then went ahead to impress Davido by flirting with him in Yoruba: She asked him to please date her, saying ‘ Mon’ife e. Se wa femi All the damn time!!!! OKO MI NIYI. I mean look at this man.’
Although Davido didn’t respond, some Nigerians reacted to the girl’s blatant proposition, calling her shameless.
Desmond Elliot has shared new cute photos of himself and his twin sons, Desmond and Denzel via his Instagram page.
The actor turned politician shared the cute snaps yesterday, March 25, 2016, taken inside a car with his sons, as he wished his fans happy good Friday from the three of them.
Days ago, Wizkid’s alleged babymama Binta Diamond shared the firth photos of her son Ayodeji Ibrahim Jr., who she gave birth to in January.
Now, the new mum finally lets the world see what her 3-month-old son looks like, and he is simply handsome!
On Instagram, fans are already gushing over the little boy. “Got WizKids eye. Innocent and cute, God bless all the good mothers,” one Instagram user official_hkm said, and another, toyinakanji001, said, “He looks so much like wizkid! Daddy’s copy!”
But Wizkid is yet to acknowledge both mother and daughter.
In a recent interview with The Shade Room, Diamond described Wizkid as a deadbeat dad who has refused to meet his son.
When Meek Mill rapped about shooting Drake in his Dream Chasers 4 mixtape, many people didn’t know that he and his team already beat up Quentin Miller, the songwriter behind Drake’s song 10 Bands.
Quentin Miller speaks. While he’s tried to remain low-key since being outed as Drake’s alleged ghostwriter by Meek Mill last year, the rapper is opening up about a slew of allegations.
During a conversation with VladTV, the “6 Man” writer revealed that he was beaten up by Meek Mill and his Dreamchasers crew at Niketown in Beverly Hills.
“I was walking to the Nike store and he approached me,” Miller explained. “This was really my first time talking with Meek and basically he told me that he didn’t appreciate the letter that I dropped and it made him seem like he was a liar and whatnot. And then they fucking stole off on me in the Nike store and ran. I shed blood in the Nike store on Wilshire. I shed blood in the Nike store. I’m really about this life.”
After admitting that he’s “not a street ni**a” and that he is a “suburban kid,” Miller said that he doesn’t understand Meek’s intentions.
“Punching me is like punching Frank Ocean or ILoveMakonnen,” he said. “What kind of points are you getting off of that? I’m one of the most peaceful nicest motherfuckers you will ever meet. I’m not a street ni**a. You can have the tough title. That doesn’t do anything for me.”
Meek has seemingly responded to Miller’s accusations with the following meme.
Emeka Ike has spoken up for the first time since becoming the official president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, and he is already making threats.
The actor, in a new interview with PUNCH, said that Fiberesima’s people should beg him, else he would be pushing for her second jail term.
Recall that Ike and Fiberesima had been in a long battle over the presidency of the AGN, and days ago, the actress was stripped of the position, and Emeka Ike declared the new president of the AGN.
“My victory at the court has nothing to do with Ibinabo’s predicament,” Ike clarifies, “This case is different and if Ibinabo is not going to go to jail for my own case, they should come and beg me. Instead of them to come and beg me, they are still going to the press to say all sorts of rubbish about me. There is still a second jail term for Ibinabo.”
And then he launched into how the embattled actress’ friends misled in cases involving the AGN and the manslaughter case that earned her a 5-year jail sentence.
He said;
“My victory at the court has nothing to do with Ibinabo’s predicament. This case is different and if Ibinabo is going to go to jail for my own case, they should come and beg me. Instead of them to come and beg me, they are still going to the press to say all sorts of rubbish about me. There is still a second jail term for Ibinabo. It is called contempt of court and it would also include Segun Arinze. People have threatened to kill me but I am not scared of them. I am waiting for them and I would look them in the face and tell them that they are evil and I am righteous.
I did not take the issue to the police but straight to the court and I am happy that justice has been served. Anyone that ties Ibinabo’s plight to my victory is only trying to blackmail me and I know they would not stop blackmailing me. How can anyone say that I sent Ibinabo to jail? Am I the Giwa family or the government?”
The actor said he feels bad about Ibinabo’s situation but it could have been prevented if the actress was more remorseful over the death of Dr. Giwa, the young man who was knocked down by the actress over a decade ago. Ike said it was unfortunate that the actress surrounded herself with sycophants who led her to jail.
“How can I be happy that Ibinabo has been sentenced to jail? I feel very bad. The people saying that I am happy about the sentence are actually Ibinabo’s enemies. This is a lady that was used because of the powers she could garner and control. Some people were using her and now that they have messed her up, they are still using her in prison. Ibinabo would never say that Emeka Ike sent her to jail, it is impossible because she knows why she is there. What I was only telling Nigerians is that people of Ibinabo’s status do not contest for any public office. Should we stop telling the truth? She had a criminal issue in court.
Let’s leave sentiments, we have to be realistic. I cannot be happy about her predicament because it is rather unfortunate that she is surrounded by the wrong people and advisers; she was surrounded by sycophants. Instead of them to tell her how to solve her problem, they were pushing her to jail and now that she is in jail, they will not leave her alone. Why did they not advise her to form a team and go to Giwa’s family house and roll on the floor for forgiveness?
They could have sent her away for days but they would not send her away forever. We are a cultural people, I am sure that after going repeatedly, an elder in the family would plead on her behalf and say something like, ‘our son is dead and nothing can bring him back, let us just forgive her.’ She should have been very remorseful but she wasn’t. We told Nigerians that some of us would not agree but they began to call us names because we took the matter to court,” he said.
Popular OAP, Toke Makinwa is finally speaking up about her failed marriage to estranged husband Maje Ayida.
Yesterday, the OAP took to Instagram to introduce her next Vlog Before You Say I Do and she felt it was important to address the issue of her failed marriage.
“I won’t lie since my personal life suffered a public setback last year, talking about relationships left me feeling a type of way, kind of like I failed at mine so who am I to talk?” Makinwa said.
The 31-year-old’s marriage crumbled last year after Ayida cheated on her and also put his mistress in the family way.
On her birthday last year, Ayida sent her a loving note which she responded to, and next, they turned heads at the Future Awards event.
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 says she it getting stronger and bold enough to dish relationship advice.
“I am getting comfortable again in my own growth and I am learning as I go so we can all learn together,” the OAP said, adding, “We are the sum of our experiences so i am no longer ashamed, I have been given a platform and it’s my duty to share.”
Yesterday, popular Nigerian singer, Kiss Daniel claimed he graduated with a 4.32GPA in ‘Water Engineering’ from the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, in 2013, putting his age as at the time of graduation, at 18.
Kiss Daniel, during the interview, and as also stated on Wikipedia, was listed as being 21-year old.
But the singer’s age has been changed on Wikipedia!
Last night, fans noticed that the year of birth was changed from 1994 to 1987, and later, this morning we notice it has been moved again to 1988, making him 27years old.
A quick check on the handle that edited the page revealed ‘Oluwa2chainz’, and since anyone can register and edit a Wikipedia page, we ran a check on the edit history and found that Oluwa2chainz has long been one of the handles updating information on the singer’s page since the creation of the page.
Now, did the singer, whose real name is Oluwatobiloba Daniel Anidugbe edit the information? Well, we can’t say.
Here’s what he tweeted yesterday after the story became a trending topic:
You wouldn't worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do.” pic.twitter.com/EADFe29yRN
*Scratches Head* Michael B., Eva is Quitting Music! ): How Far?
So, yesterday, Eva stunned many when she announced that she’d be retiring from music. Eva made this surprising yet shocking announcement on her Instagram while publicizing her show billed for March 26, 2016 (Today) in Lagos.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BDYdcGPLDGC/
While many of her fans are speculating that she is quitting music for marriage, I wonder how Michael B. Feels, He’s a die hard fan of Eva!
Anyway, the rapper and makeup artist is set to debut her own fashion line, Eleven11 by EvaAlordiah, an announcement she made in January, days after her engagement to boyfriend Caesar.
Ace comedian, Tracy Morgan has finally opened up on how life was for him, following his terrifying multi-car crash 18 months ago which almost ended his life and career.
“My thoughts – I was in a very dark place. I was sitting right here, contemplating suicide. I couldn’t walk,” Morgan said, but he fought that urge and focused on the positive things in his life; his 29-year-old wife Megan Wollover and their 2-year-old daughter, Maven.
“It’s gonna take more than 18 wheels for me to get out of here. I have to raise my girl, raise my wife, raise my family.” the 47-year old Morgan continued, “Gotta keep my octopus alive. Gotta keep my sharks alive. Those are God’s creatures! I’m needed!”
But he recovered, his doctor told him that his accident was one of the biggest in the world. “A doctor said, ‘The two biggest accidents in the world was yours and Princess Diana,’ ” said Morgan. “Think about it. That’s heavy s—.”
Tracy Morgan suffered life and career-threatening injuries when a tractor owned by Walmart slammed into his limousine in 2014, killing his best friend, James McNair, and leaving him in critical condition.
“Emotionally, it’s hard for me to deal with,” said Morgan who had to learn how to walk again, how to do simple things again. “I asked everybody to be there that night. I have to live with that. But I had to forgive myself. I know Jimmy [James McNair] would want it like that.”
Last August, the comedian walked down the aisle by himself, without support, to marry Megan Wollover. In his interview with People, he said, “I [didn’t] want to walk my wife down the aisle with a cane or in a wheelchair. So I had to go hard with the therapy. I had to get better. There was no ifs, ands or buts about it.”
“Megan was by my side throughout all of the hard times of this past year,” he told PEOPLE. “She is my rock, and I couldn’t be happier to have her take my last name. We are the Morgans!”
Yesterday, ex- Governor’s Daughter Kemi Olunloyo fired shots at rapper Olamide during an interview with Pulse TV. “Olamide, I am looking at you at Pulse TV – have you ever been to a ritualist,” said the activist who has never hidden her dislike for Yoruba men.
“Answer the question!” She dared Olamide who was not present at the scene, adding, “We know know the answer. For me to say stuff like that out, on the internet,” she continued, adding, “I can stand in front of Mushin and say it.”
But this is not the first time the daughter of the former Oyo state Governor Victor Omololu Olunloyo will be attacking the YBNL boss.
In January, during the Mavin vs YBNL saga that swept social media in a storm, Olunloyo slammed Olamide, said he made money rituals to gain his wealth, and then she predicted the end of his career.
Popular stylist, Toyin Lawani has revealed that her son, Jermaine is following in her footsteps as a fashion designer and stylist.
The 2-year-old, who is already a style icon with his own Instagram page, has started taking classes at a fashion school. Yesterday, the CEO of Tiannah Styling revealed on her Instagram page that her son had kicked off a one month intensive class at her Tiannah Styling Fashion Academy.
She shared a photo of the toddler working with a sewing machine and wearing a measuring tape on his neck like a pro.
She captioned it: “School is on break. @lordmaine1 just resumed for his one month intensive class at the Academy”
Finally, popular AOP, Moet Abebe has put a lid on claims that she ended things with boyfriend Monk Chief, by posting a new clip of them yesterday, but she offered no explanation on why she deleted all of his precious photos form her page, or why Monk Chief himself has no memory of her on his social media.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BDV8uh3hhH_/
Last November, the OAP who had been preciously engaged showed off upcoming singer, Monk Chief (real name Chris Ojeme) as her new ‘bae.’ They made their red carpet debut at last year’s edition of Rhythm Unplugged, and have shared intimate photos on their pages until recently when they were all taken down.
Now, Moet is back to sharing their moments, and we hope the relationship is here to stay!
Reekado Banks surely knows how to respect the elders..
Yesterday, Nigerian Twitter was swept in a raging debate kicked off by a Reekadict who felt that the Mavin singer was a much better artist that Wizkid. But Reekado Banks has just set the records straight.
“Let me clear the air real quick. Wizkid isn’t only my mentor but one of the GREATS who have paved way for the young ones like me,” Reekado Banks tweeted yesterday, adding, “Please dont disrespect Wizkid by comparing him to me wey just dey start abeg.”
Let me clear the air real quick. Wizkid isnt only my mentor but one of the GREATS who have paved way for the young ones like me… (1)
And this is not the first time the ‘Katapot’ singer is being compared to other artiste. In January, after he won the Headies Next rated category, beating the likes of Cynthia Morgan and Lil Kesh, fans took to social media to make unhealthy comparisons between him and Lil Kesh, deepening the rivalry between the Mavin and YBNL record label.
Well, Banks has shut down this new debate, but we know it won’t be long before his Reekadicts return with yet another comparison.
The Managing director of Lekki Garden Homes Richard Nyong, has been granted bail on self-recognition by a Magistrate Court in Ebute Metta, Lagos State.
Nyong was arraigned by the Lagos State government for the collapse of a five storey building in Lekki that resulted in the loss of over 30 lives.
His company, Lekki Gardens was in charge of the construction of the building before the fatal collapse on Tuesday, March 8.
Lagos State officials say preliminary findings reveal that the collapsed building exceeded the maximum number of floors approved by authorities.
Also, Chief Magistrate Afolashade Botoku, granted bail to Taiwo Odofin, one of the contractors in the project, in the sum of N10 million with two sureties in like sum.
Botoku, who decried the attitude of the authorities in handling the case, ordered them to report at the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Panti-Yaba, everyday till the police complete their investigations.
She also said that the defendants would submit their international passports and were not permitted to travel out of the country till the conclusion of the case.
Botoku had on March 11 ordered the remand of Nyong and Taiwo when they were arraigned following a remand application brought before it by the police.
Singer, 9ice apparently still has some beef with top blogger Linda Ikeji.
In 2013, the Alapomeji singer called out Linda and some other blogs after they uploaded his songs for free. Linda has in turn stated that 9ice would have to pay for her to upload his song and that was when he lashed out at her. He called Linda a nobody, saying “Where was Linda Ikeji when I was out with my first album, Linda Ikeji who are you? I don’t even know her? Linda Ikeji if you are expecting a dime from me, fa fa fa foul. You pay me before you upload my music.”
Now the singer has thrown another major shade at the blogger in his new song, At the Moment.
In the song, which was uploaded on YouTube yesterday, 9ice talked about how Linda Ikeji’s wealth was gotten from retired army officer, Dasuki. He sang, “At the moment I want more prosperity I dey feel like Linda Ikeji, many money wey dey come from Dasuki.”
A few months back, Linda Ikeji was involved in the Dasukigate scandal where she was accused of being paid N240m from Sambo Dasuki even though she later debunked the allegations.
Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, has advised UNILAG’s record breaking graduate, Ayodele Dada, to be careful with money, women and alcohol.
Dogara gave the advise while speaking with Dada who paid a visit to members of the House of Rep chambers on Wednesday, March 23.
“We don’t have money to give you, but what we are going to do is not only intended to inspire you, but to encourage other students. Now as a role model, you must be very careful with money, women and alcohol. If you allow them get into you, all these things we are saying today would end up as nothing.” he said.
The House of Representative few days ago disclosed that it will honour Mr. Ayodele Daniel Dada, a graduate of the University of Lagos, Akoka, who passed out with a 5.0 Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA).
Now they’ve and here are the photos;
Cool FM presenter, Freeze, was the first to publicly call for Ayodele, who is said to be the only Nigerian graduate in about 54 years to have acquired a perfect CGPA, to be celebrated.
Dada has received a lot of acknowledgements, as a result of his accomplishment.
They include the UNILAG VC’s prize, UNILAG Dean’s prize, UNILAG Parent Forum prize, Tony Elumelu Legacy prize, the UNILAG Alumni Association prize, the late Eni Njoku Academic prize, Prof Tolu Odugbemu prize, and the late Prof. Adetokunbo Sofoluwe prize.
Finally, Binta Diamond has released the first photos of her son with Wizkid who she named after the singer, Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun Jr.
“On January 15, 2016 I gave birth to my amazing son,” the new mum said, adding, “Words cannot explain how much I love this little man.”
In another post, she described what she feels for her boy. It’s “love at first sight”, she said.
Recall that after Diamond announced the birth of her boy, it caused media furore which worsened after she granted an interview to The Shade Room, saying that Wizkid is a deadbeat dad who has refused to meet his son.
Well, it is unclear if the ‘Ojuelegba’ singer has accepted to take responsibility, and in a recent interview, he refused to address that question.
We are not quite certain though but it looks as if Gorgeous Nollywood actress, Toyin Aimakhu‘s estranged husband, Adeniyi Johnson, just threw a shade at her new reality TV show which she announced few days ago, ‘Keeping Up with Toyin Aimakhu‘.
The actor posted a selfie of himself and gave it caption:
Of all your strategies and struggles what have u achieved? Man proposes only God disposes man’s plan…. I’m a man with God that’s why he keeps keeping me…… DON’T LOSE A CROWN RUNNING AFTER A WIG…Wigs fade in little time but Crown is eternal and gives dignity. Prestige, integrity and honour.. #Godblessourhustle #Godownsmylife #GODOVERALL….. only the wise can relate
Rita Dominic, Laila St Matthew Daniel and other women hit the streets of Lahos yesterday to protest the Gender Equality Bill which was rejected by the Senate.
The protest was organised by Women in Management, Business and Public Service (WIMBIZ) and took place at Alausa, Ikeja near the Governor’s office.
Rita is a well respected feminist who fights for womens rights. The fiercely private actress who keeps her personal life away from the media, has never publicly revealed the identity of any man in her life.
She shared a photo of the protest on Instagram with the caption,
Gender Equality is a HUMAN FIGHT NOT A FEMALE FIGHT- Frieda Pinto

A young lady has been allegedly beheaded in Minna, Niger State after she went there to met a guy she had been communicating with on Facebook.
Facebook user, Amanda Chisom who shared the news, revealed the victim was lured with promises of marriage and how the said boyfriend is from a royal family.
It’s sad.
Read the full story below:
“She was a classmate to my girlfriend… Met this guy on FB and they be been communicating for like 6months now… all of a sudden the guy started talking about Marriage and stuffs then sometimes in Feb, the guy invited her to his hometown in Minna for her to meet his Royal family as his soon be wife.
She packed her bag told her sister about the journey and left on getting to Minna the guy came and picked her up from the pack and told her that there is a problem..and the problem is that the parents are quarrelling over him bringing a girl that is not tribe for marriage introduction, he persuaded the girl to put up in a hotel with him for now until he settled things with his parents.
So the girl called her sister to tell her the change of plans with the guy and that was the last time the sister heard from her.
Then after 3days the sister received a call from her sister’s phone and the caller being a make asked her to come to a named Hotel in Minna to carry her sister’s body…she was confused and scared and had to inform her family of the strange call after several days calling and cellphone switched off they hard to summon courage and travel to Minna at the said Hotel .Lo and Behold the girl was lying lifeless without a head.
Meaning the guy she visited was a ritualist…after all her body was moved down to Ekpoma her hometown where she was buried…the culprit still at large.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) made use of the wrong grading software to mark the 2016/2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), Association of Tutorial School Operators (ATSO) has alleged.
ATSO claimed that the error was responsible for the poor and conflicting results that were released by the board for the examination written between February 27 and March 17 in over 500 centres nationwide.
Speaking in Lagos on Wednesday, March 23, President of the group, Mr Shodunke Oludotun said the board used the software from last year to grade this year’s examination.
Oladotun also called for the resignation of the JAMB Registrar, Prof ‘Dibu Ojerinde.
Oludotun said: “We have our evidence to show that virtually all the candidates we have collected results of 2015/2016 and not of 2016/2017.
“This year, Prof Dibu Ojerinde advertised 2016/2017 UTME – we all saw it. During his press conference, he also mentioned 2016/2017. During the exam, the students on their monitor, it displayed 2016/2017. Why is it that the result that was sent to the students showed 2015/2016?
“From our findings from insiders in JAMB, we realized that the software of 2015/2016 interfered with the 2016/2017, which led to the massive failure of the students. If you can see the trend of results from (February) 27 to 29, the students failed; (March) 7-15, the students failed massively.
“But we noticed that the 27-29 were compensated with 40 marks still under the interference of software. We can see that the 2015/2016 software was used to mark, that was why the students were receiving 2015/2016 results. So where is 2016/2017 result? That is what we are asking Prof Dibu Ojerinde…We are saying that Prof Dibu Ojerinde should step aside.”
He called for Ojerinde to step aside so someone else would build on the foundation he has laid to conduct hitch free examinations.
JAMB’s Director of Media and Public Relations, Dr. Fabian Benjamin has responded by saying focus should be on the programming and not the marking guide.
“I am not a programmer, but I can confirm to you that JAMB does not joke with its template. What happened with the 40 marks issue is because the scripts were marked based on 250 marks because only English Language is 100 while the other three papers carry 50 marks, making a total of 250.
“So when the first results were released, they were calculated based on 250, and after normalization we felt it would not be ideal for us to cheat on the candidates. So we had to quickly send them their real scores,” Benjamin stated.
