Ex-President, Olusegun Obasanjo is showing us that even if he is spending his last year as a septuagenarian, he’s still as agile as a forty year old.
OBJ showed off his epic dance moves as he celebrated his 79th birthday which took place on Saturday, at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Abeokuta, Ogun State..
In attendance at Obasanjo’s birthday were – former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Nuhu Ribadu, Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, Senator Godswill Akpabio, Governor Ibikunle Amosu and wife, Olufunso Amosun, among others.
The suspected kidnappers of three female students of Babington Macaulay Junior Seminary in Ikorodu, Lagos State, have been paraded.
The girls identified as — Timilehin Olosa, Tofunmi Popoola and Deborah Akinayo — were kidnapped by gunmen on Monday in their school premises.
One of the security agents involved in the rescue operation told Punch that it was discovered that the victims were initially taken to Adamo forest immediately after their abduction.
Adamo forest is across the river in Lugbusi community, where the school is situated in Ikorodu.
According to the source:
“We gathered that the kidnappers were 12 men, and they came in eight canoes. They used seven AK-47 rifles for the operation.
“One of the men, who we later identified as Lamiameni, brought the kidnapping job to the gang, while another member, known as Felix, alias Tradition, was the one communicating with the families for ransom negotiation.”
Another source said from the forest, the gang moved to a creek, located between Ikorodu and Epe, Lagos State, where they also held the girls.
Security agents were said to have had the first break on March 4, when a suspected kidnapper, Emmanuel Arigidi, aged 37, was sent by the gang from the creeks to buy foodstuffs.
He was said to have bought foodstuffs big enough for an army, which confirmed the suspicion that he was a member of the gang. He was subsequently arrested.
He said:
“Arigidi broke down during interrogation and confessed to being a member of the gang that stole the schoolgirls. He gave us the direction to the place they were keeping the girls, and mentioned the names of other members. He even promised to lead the operatives to the location.”
It was gathered that after waiting for Arigidi for two days, the gang sensed that something was amiss and thereafter moved to an area around Igbo Okuta Bridge, Imota, Ikorodu.
It was gathered that possible hiding places had been discussed among the gang members during the planning of the kidnapping.
When security operatives therefore noticed that there were no activities in the creek, they suspected that the gang had fled the area. But Arigidi had no problem in revealing the place they could be.
Also, the relatives of suspected abductors mentioned by Arigidi were said to have been rounded up and made to plead with their people on the telephone to release the girls.
It was learnt that the fathers of two of the suspected kidnappers were allowed on Saturday to go after their sons to talk to them and other gang members to release the girls.
“At about 5am on Sunday, over 500 operatives, comprising the IG team, the Lagos State Police Command and other security agencies stormed Imota and rescued the schoolgirls at the Igbo Okuta Bridge area of Ikorodu,”
a source said. Two other suspected kidnappers were arrested during the operation.
So things are definitely going on fine with these two lovebirds… Even after Rob Kardashian deleted all his photos and unfollowed everyone on his instagram.
The reality TV sensation shared this adorable photo and wrote:
Chy and I are not broken up we just feel like it would be a lot healthier for our relationship if we kept a lot more to ourselves. It’s impossible to have a positive relationship with so much negativity from the media and outsiders and we would appreciate it if everyone respects that -ChyRo ? @blacchyna ?
Someone tell me what’s up with the ring emoji… Lol… the combination of their names though, “ChyRo”, sounds Igbo to me, “Chiro” ??
Hollywood sensation, Jada Pinkett has broken her silence on comic act, Chris Rock‘s Oscar Jab, stating that it comes with the territory.
The comedian who hosted the Oscars had said:
“Jada said she’s not coming. I was like, ‘Isn’t she on a TV show?’ Jada’s gonna boycott the Oscars? Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna’s panties. I wasn’t invited!”
When she was asked by photographers as she made her way through the Los Angeles airport, she said:
“It comes with the territory, sweetheart,”Hey look, it comes with the territory but we gotta keep it moving. We gotta keep it moving. We gotta keep it moving. There’s a lot of stuff we gotta handle, a lot of stuff in our world right now. We gotta keep it moving.”
Well, isn’t this something? While I feel the rapper is holding her cause he doesn’t want her 2metres away from him, others think Queen Bee‘s legs is actually Jay Z‘s favourite part of her body.
Looking at the photo, you definitely can’t argue!! Lol.

Well, this is something! Guys, y’all feeling this look yeah? Dapper looking West African actors, IK Ogbonna from Nigeria and Chris Attoh from Ghana both coincidentally donned identical outfits to the AMVCAs which was held during the last weekend.
Though the actors both rocked the outfit perfectly, I was wondering which one you like best…
While the delectable actress is onto critics who have been slamming her bridal gown she wore to the Africa Magic Viewers Choice awards, Ini Edo sure looks amazing in this Orange cut-out dress she donned to the after party.
Looking as kinky as ever, the beauty wore a smile that definitely could light up the whole of your week.
The kidnappers of three abducted schoolgirls of Babington Macaulay Junior Seminary in Ikorodu, Lagos, have revealed how they carried out the operation.
One of the suspects, Mr. Arigidi, who spoke to newsmen, said “We went to Maya bridge to enter canoe and went to the school around 8 p.m.
“After we gained entrance into the school, we took away three girls and we took them to our hideout. But along the line, we had disagreement between ourselves and I was actually the one that started it. I told other members of the gang that what we have done is not good and that I don’t like it.
“I know that security in Lagos State is now tight and I was telling others that there was no way we would get away with this kind of job considering the level of security in the state.”
Adding that “Three days after I ran away, operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) then arrested me somewhere in Majidun and that was how I told them how we planned the attack.”
Agiri also said “One thing I will like to say is that if not for the fact that I was arrested, they would not have seen the girls because I was the one that revealed everything to the police.”
Minister of state for Labor and Employment, James Ocholi, his wife Blessing Fatima Ocholi, and their son died on Sunday, 6th March in a fatal accident along the Kaduna-Abuja expressway.

Tears flowed uncontrollably among friends, lawyers, chieftains of the APC and relatives as the corpses of Mr Ocholi, his wife Blessing and son Joshua were brought to the National Hospital, Abuja, by FRSC.
That of his wife was brought in about one hour, thirty minutes later.
Senior government officials, who were on the ground at the Hospital when the vehicles arrived, were seen in groups discussing the incident in hushed tones.
President Muhammadu Buhari expressed shock and sadness at the death of Ocholi, his wife and son.
In a statement on Sunday, Buhari described the death of the minister’s as untimely, regretting that Nigeria had lost a key component of the change agenda.
“Barrister Ocholi was an accomplished and patriotic Nigerian, who was keen to accept the call to service at a time his country needed him,” Buhari said.
He said in the few months he had been in office, the late minister of state had already begun to distinguish himself through his commitment and dedication to his portfolio.
The late Ocholi had a long record of political association with Buhari.
Buhari also condoled with the government and people of Kogi State, which he described as having lost a distinguished and irreplaceable son.
He prayed that God would comfort them and grant them the grace to bear the loss.
Buhari also sent the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr. David Babachir, to formally convey the news to members of the deceased family as well as parishioners in his place of worship.
Speaking with journalists at the National Hospital premises, Babachir stated that the three family members were killed in the crash at about 3pm.
He said, “I will like to confirm that at about 3pm today (Sunday), the Minister of State for Labour, James Ocholi (SAN), was involved in a motor accident along the Kaduna-Abuja road. In this accident, the minister lost his life, his son also lost his life, and the wife also lost her life.
“It is a very sad day indeed for Nigeria as this has never happened and President Buhari is in shock; all members of the Federal Executive Council are in shock and indeed all Nigerians are in shock.
“Personally, I have known Ocholi for more than 20 years; we have been friends, both in politics and in Christian service. I am indeed personally saddened by this and cannot begin to express the grief that we all face.
“Now the bodies have been recovered and deposited in the mortuary and we are waiting for the immediate family and the government for the next line of action. May God comfort all of us Nigerians.”

“Keep your senseless unsolicited opinions to your self comment on your page,” she said, and then she warned the trolls, “stay clear of my page if all you have to say is discredit other people’s hardwork. It’s only an ugly mind that would call this ugly. Enough said.”

President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed shock and sadness at the death of Barrister James Ocholi (SAN), who together with his wife and son were killed in a car crash in Abuja on 6 March, 2016.

You all recall the Davido versus his baby mama drama that occurred earlier this year…? and Then Davido called out Dele Momodu in the remix of Humblesmith’s Osinachi (Listen or Download Here)
Well……City People magazine recently caught up with Dele Momodu and here are excerpts from their chat.
Of recent, there was news about Davido Baby-Mama and it became big news because Chief Dele Momodu happens to be the Uncle to Sophie, how did you react to Osinachi Remix by Davido?
You won’t believe that I just saw the video for the first time less than 2weeks ago. I saw the thriller for few seconds before that but I never bothered to go out of my way to watch it as I actually thought he was abusing me and I expected him to abuse me but when someone is like your son, you just have to let it past.
Whether we like it or not, we are like family. His Dad and I have known each other like forever. The devil is a liar, when good things are happening, the devil will want to come in between it and all. I saw it on-line first as people were tweeting about it and I initially said, well, he is abusing me, no problem.
You know several times in the past, he will attack me and apologize. I understand how he feels, he feels I am supporting my cousin against him and that is not it. All I wanted was just peace and I am happy we got it.
What is the situation of things now?
Well everybody is fine, all we wanted was just for them to acknowledge the mother of the baby and I have to say that Davido’s father was a perfect gentle man. What usually happened was that some people will go to them and tell them something and still come to us to feed us too. People just wanted trouble at all cost but God prevailed.
Does your Cousin see her daughter now?
Yes of course and that is why I said Davido’s Dad is a perfect gentle man and he did everything to bring about peace.
The Minster of State for Labour and Employment, James Ocholi, his wife, son and aide-de-camp, were on Sunday, involved in a car accident along the Kaduna-Abuja highway.
Ocholi, his wife and son are reported to have died from the crash which involved a Prado SUV and another Lexus SUV.
The condition of the aide-de-camp remains to be known.
About four weeks ago, a lady came into national consciousness. She photobombed her way to riches and fame. Her name is Olajumoke Orisaguna.
The bread seller mother of two was going about her normal routine at the Sabo area of Lagos state when she bombed into a photo session of celebrity photographer, TY Bello. TY Bello spotted the potential in Olajumoke; the model in her. Her life was instantly transformed. Her Cinderella story became an instant hit.
Her Cinderella story resonated with Nigerians whose belief in miracles know no bounds. Make no mistake about it: Nigerians know what suffering is. We are also hardworking, resilient people but the conditions are just not right. Hence, most of us resign to fate, in frustration waiting for any ‘accident’, any miracle or luck to come our way.
This is also true in the case of Olajumoke who left her hometown of Ire in Osun state to ‘hustle’ in Lagos. It was in the course of this that fortune came her way. She became the toast of Nigerians; they identified with her. Some opine that her ‘ancestors in heaven were not sleeping’.
The respected Olusegun Adeniyi shared his experience in his column, about a fortnight ago of how the lady leading the prayer session in a church he attended asked her brethren to pray to the God of Olajumoke. In fact, Olajumoke became a prayer point. Some even go to the extent of telling to allow them meet her luck in their early morning prayer to God.
Not to be left out, corporate Nigeria latched on to this rave of the moment. She became the face of companies who splashed money on her. She got an endorsement from one of them. They duly exploited this ‘accident’. Their interest in her was a mixed of the logical to the ridiculous what those who are propping her up as a motivational speaker.
Three weeks after Olajumoke’s emergence came the most incredible yet impressive story so far this year. This came from one of Olajumoke’s neighbours.
His name is Ayodele Dada who hails from Ekiti state- the Fountain of Education. Ekiti borders Osun (Olajumoke is from Ire in Osun State) to the East. His incredible story happened in Akoka which is very close to Sabo, the scene of Olajumoke’s Cinderella story.
Ayodele graduated as the Overall Best student of the University of Lagos whose convocation held last week. He is the best ever First Class graduate of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) having graduated from the Department of Psychology with a record 5.00 Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA).
What makes this feat remarkable? Ayodele got all anyone could get from his course. This feat will become clearer when one realizes that Unilag was established some 54 years ago! Nobody, absolutely nobody has achieved this till Ayodele through sheer hardwork, dedication and discipline, decided to alter the course of history.
The truth is that no tertiary institution in Nigeria has produced such graduate. This is a national first. Ayo never scored below 70 marks, except in a last semester course where membership of many committees affected his preparation for the exams. To put it in a proper perspective, Ayodele would have taken courses of about 70 credits, both core and elective. He was not bothered whether a course was a departmental course or ‘borrowed’- he dusted and cleared all. What a feat.
This writer, like Ayodele, paid his ways through school and understands what Ayodele went through. He relied on financial aids from relatives as well as teaching to ensure he did not have to drop out of school. Worthy of note is that his feat happened in Lagos with its attendant distractions but Ayodele is not one to fall for distractions.
He knew what he wanted and went for it. The fact that he had to get to Unilag’s degree programme through Direct Entry route having undertaken the one-year diploma programme shows a dedicated young man.
Hear him: ‘I came in through Diploma in Unilag. I actually sat for the UTME in 2011 but the feedback I got was that my result was withheld because that JAMB felt I cheated……………………. I lodged my complaint but it was taking time to resolve it, and it was not as if I had so much money to play with, so, with people’s support, I had to go for the one-year diploma programme. I was the best in my faculty………………………………………………….’
Ayodele’s extra ordinary feat never happened by accident. It was never a case of ‘may fortune come my way’. He studied vigorously, he avoided distraction, and did all the right things one needs to do to graduate with such result. It has never happened before and will take a while before his feat will be replicated. I doff my hat for Ayodele Dada. This writer was also the Best Graduating Student of his department but was never close to what Ayodele achieved.
What has been the response of corporate Nigeria? Loud silence! None has been as conspicuous as it was with the Olajumoke case. I gathered that Unilag Alumni Association made a cash donation while the embattled MTN invited Ayodele to their office, gave him an iphone, a special GSM number and free airtime for the rest of 2016.
Images of this were seen on the telecommunication giant’s Twitter handle. Where are other corporate entities? Are they unaware of this feat? Why has Ayodele’s face not been seen on the cover of magazines? Why is he not the face of our corporate entities who always mouth excellence in all they do? Will this indifference confirm our appreciation for academic excellence again?
The same corporate entities do not usually offer employment opportunities to graduates with 2.2 CGPA but here is one with not just 2.1 or First Class but maximum CGPA. Corporate Nigeria fall over each other to commit millions of Naira to sponsor beauty pageants and musical shows. They sign huge endorsement deals with artists.
This silence in the face of Ayodele’s academic feat is annoying. He must be celebrated, he must have endorsement deals. He must be used to send a signal to kids on the streets that though ‘accidents’ can happen and one may have riches by chance, there can never be substitute for dedication and discipline in academic pursuit. Those in our higher institutions want to see Ayo celebrated to give them impetus to strive to be the best.
It is outrageous, but a National Award for Ayodele is a possibility. He has put the name of the country on the map and if we truly appreciate what he has done, we should reward/honour him appropriately. We cannot be chanting ‘education is the root of national development’ while we ignore Ayodele but dole out huge amount of money, cars and land gifts to footballers and beauty pageant winners. It is nothing but hypocrisy, absence of clear priority and wickedness.
It is against this backdrop that one calls on the government of his state of origin, Ekiti state which prides itself as the Fountain of knowledge to truly honour its own. The government of Lagos state, the Center of Excellence should live up to its name and honour Ayodele. Otherwise, we would have missed a golden opportunity to clear a clear message that we value education.
Tiwa Savage is the cover star of this Sunday’s edition of This Day Style. The hot mama of one is killing it in the shoot by TY Bello.
Ty Bello says:
TIWA SAVAGE : FAITH I couldn’t wait to see the clothes @tiwasavage would be photographed in .Especially that #RED dramatic dress that just wouldn’t leave my head ..I had never seen the dress before but it made such a strong impression in my heart ..I KNEW it had to EXIST. ..I had built some black panels to create an enclave for Tiwa to stand in.I wore my clothes inside -out ready to quickly paint the panels into what ever Colors worked with the clothes when they arrived . … And arrived they did.. A beautifully curated set of outfits that interpreted everything we had discussed.. But ALL IN BLACK!.. I had been silent about color when we pre planned to keep things fluid… But I understood that black was very versatile but sometimes difficult color to build a story on and I had to make a creative decision on my approach . I scanned the room for all that we had : amazing BLACK clothes and RED props from Mushin market … My biggest prop being an old RED Toyota starlet with BLACK and white faux -fur seats that I had chased down in Mushin market traffic the day before ..Convincing it’s driver ( who at first thought I was crazy )to bring it over to me the day before . I chose to shoot every thing AS THEY WERE. It became clear to me that I was going to have to ‘FAITH-IT’with this shoot . Black paired with red was stark and looked nothing like the pallet of different colors and tones that danced on the photos in my mind. So I had to make the images .. With what we had ..KNOWING and TRUSTING that the color pallets I SAW already EXISTED in the RAW black and red pixels and only had to be CALLED OUT in postproduction . This is how life is .. Not very predictable and sometimes we have to DECIDE to SEE the beauty when it’s not so obvious . So what ever color life is serving remember @tiwasavage and that Faith always makes new options … CALL out the red .. CALL out the green .. And all the colors in between ..! #tybellophotography #photostories
Following the death of the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, James Ocholi, his wife and his son are also reported to have died from Sunday’s car accident on the Kaduna-Abuja highway.

While we cannot confirm the marriage reports, we can indeed say that Funke Akindele and JJC have something going on between them, other than their work on the set of Jenifa Diaries.
The two lovebirds involved a public display of affection (PDA) and a subtle locking of fingers as they dashed out of the venue together.
The rumoured couple had earlier on, tried as much as possible to avoid each other on the red carpet as Funke Akindele made her entry, a good 30 minutes before JJC made it to the red carpet.
However, the pair couldn’t keep their plan air tight all night long… as they couldn’t wait to be in each other’s arms.
Together, they left the venue on a night where the Jenifa Diaries star was rewarded with Best actress in a comedy movie/series for her work in the hilarious movie.
