Recall the story about the 3 year old Abubakar Usman whose eyes were removed by some ritualists in Kaduna last week?
Here’s is an update on the story. The boy’s dad – Usman Isa in a chat with Daily Trust said that doctors at the Ahmadu Bello University Have performed an operation on the child and the doctors explained that the ritualists removed everything in the boys eyes which apparently may cause the boy not to ever see again, except by a miracle.
“The Kaduna hospital has referred us back to ABUTH. Doctors have conducted surgery yesterday. From what they told us, the perpetrators have removed everything that has to do with the eyes, which would make fixing them difficult. However, doctors said that they would review the operation to see the outcome, hoping they can fix artificial ones.”
He said the doctors said the artificial eyes would be fixed just to fill the holes, but not for the young boy to see. “Except if Allah performs a miracle,” he sobbed.
Meanwhile the grandmother of little Usman, Malama Hadiza Usman, narrated how she got to know that her grandson’s eyes had been removed by ritualists while he was on his way to an evening Islamiyya class.
In tears, Malama Hadiza told Daily Trust that she would never forget the incident for the rest of her life. “I’d given him N5 to buy sweets on his way, on Sunday, January 24. He left the house with his brother Umar, but on their way they were intercepted by yet-to-be identified men who took him to an uncompleted building and gouged his eyes out.”
At the hospital, little Abubakar was telling those around him to open his eyes to enable him see his mother and grandmother. “Open my eyes, I want to see Mama. Mama, where are you? Where’s Grandma?” he kept wailing.
Pictures of the beautiful bride is finally here. Here are Photos of OAP Toolz Oniru at her traditional wedding to Captain Tunde Demuren, ongoing at the moment.
4 people have been confirmed dead after a passenger boat capsized at Ijede area of Ikorodu, Lagos, this morning.
The boat was said to be conveying an unspecified number of passengers and 2 crew members from Ijede en route Badore when it capsized at about 10.20am. 13 people survived the mishap.
Speaking on the incident, the General Manager, Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, LASEMA, Michael Akindele, said the boat was alleged to have collided at a dredging point.
The rescued victims are currently receiving medical care at Ijede General Hospital, while search for the remaining people that are missing is still ongoing.
Adejoro Olumofin has debunked the news that himself and his brother were asked to leave Toolz and Tunde’s traditional wedding today.
While in a chat with Instablog9ja, Adejoro said they left on their own, not that they were bounced as Beat FM OAP, Gbemi circulated the false story.
“We went to the wedding to greet Babatunde Tolu Demuren. We had no intention to stay, just to avoid fracas. The rumor was orchestrated by Noble Igwe and Gbemi, just to swing things in their favor.”
The question on everybody’s lips right now is – how would anybody buy so many yards of fabric just to go and greet??
Controversial Singer, Maheeda was never this laiskin.
She took to her instagram account to share before and after photos of herself. The singer was completely dark like me, but thanks to creams…She’s lighter.
She captioned the photo:
I didn’t like it so I changed it.. You have a problem with that? ?Exactly!! ? It’s your problem!! Deal with it? as for me, I’m enjoying the new me no regrets
Nigerian singer, Raoul John Njeng better known as Skales, has admitted that trading words with fellow singer, Wizkid, was one of the greatest mistakes he will ever make.
The singer made this known on Multi TV’s ‘Let’s Talk Entertainment‘ programme, as he explains that he now sees him growing in the eye of many considering the fact some other people look up to him as a role model.
“That’s one of the mistakes I made and I feel like I’m growing in the eyes of the public so definitely, I know that you can never benefit from things like that. So I’ve become a better person now, I’m more grown now, I’ve realized that I’m a role model, a lot of people look up to me and so there’s some mistakes I cannot do,” Skales Said.
Meanwhile, with the ongoing allegations of song theft in the country, Skales, noted that he is so certain that nobody can steal his intellectual property and if anyone does, he will not spare the fellow.
Warning about lyrics theft, he said, “if you steal my lyrics, I’m coming for you.”
Reports reaching on 360nobs says that the Olumofin Brothers – Adejoro and Dokun who of course recently had a brawl on social media with Beat FM OAP, Gbemi Olateru-Olagbegi were asked to leave Tolu “Toolz” Oniru & Tunde Demuren’s Wedding #TSquared by the groom and bride’s parents
It is still unclear the reason they were asked to leave but we believe it’s related to all the shade the brothers threw at Gbemi on Instagram.

Kanye West finally feels remorse for dragging the 23-month-old Sebastian into his Twitter feud with his father, Wiz Khalifa.
“I know you mad every time you look at your child that this girl got you for 18 years,” Ye tweeted about Sebastian’s mother, Amber Rose, adding “You own the waves??? I own your child!!!”
In her podcast with Allegedly on Thursday, Amber Rose explained why she commented on the Khalifa/Ye twitter feud.
“I would never talk about kids in an argument,” the model and author said, “It just shows the type of person he is. Even him saying stuff about my son, I still didn’t say anything about his kids. I’m not going to. This is ridiculous. They’re innocent babies. You don’t ever, ever talk about a baby, ever.”
Wendy Williams, Piers Morgan and many media houses also criticised Kanye’s outburst. “Dear Kanye, using a two-year-old kid to insult a love rival crossed a line,” Piers Morgan wrote in Daily Mail. “Now be a man and say sorry.”
Well, Kanye finally listened because moments ago, he admonished himself on Twitter. “Never speak on kids again,” he tweeted, “All love, all blessings.”
God’s dream… Never speak on kids again… all love … all blessings…

“Nasty ass bitch!”

Another eyewitness says, at one point she screamed, “Y’all got no respect for me. I gotta tie my shoes. Let me tie my Yeezys.”
Meanwhile, Rob Kardashian Must be in love as he liked the Mugshot of Blac Chyna on insagram. See Below:
Mavin Records act, Reekado Banks, was recently interviewed by HipTV, where he talked about his relationship with YBNL act, Lil Kesh.
When asked about his relationship with the ‘Efejoku’ crooner, Reekado said they are not close friends, but have a cordial relationship.
He said:
We weren’t the closest of friends like close, close, close. It wasn’t like we talked everyday but we talked once in a while. He called me once in a while. I called him once in a while. And same as now, it still happens that way. There’s nothing really that has changed.
Lil Kesh – Headies
Recall, Reekado Banks win at the just concluded Headies Award, started the war of words between Don Jazzy and Olamide. A fight which has since been resolved.
A supposed man of God who is the General Overseer (GO), of a pentecostal church located at the Oworonshoki area of Lagos State, has been arrested for allegedly luring an 11-year-old girl to a brothel in the area and raping her, Daily Post reports.
According an eyewitness, the pastor who is very popular in the area, had, on Saturday, January 23, lured the girl to the brothel where he forcefully had carnal knowledge of her and it was screams of pains that attracted some of the prostitutes resident in the brothel.
The scarlet ladies were said to have rushed to the room but found it locked and alerted policemen from the Alonge Police Division.
The policemen thereafter, forced the door of the room opened where they found the girl in a pool of her blood and the GO who was half naked trying to clean her up.
The man was arrested but two days later, he was released by the police, causing outrage and pandemonium in the community as residents rose enmasse to protest the release of the pastor who is said to have earlier raped three young girls in the area and had been left off the hook each time.
— Popular Ghanaian witch doctor, Priest Nana Kwaku Bonsam, has had a ‘war’ with popular Nigerian Prophet, TB Joshua, at least once in the last two years
— Priest Nana Kwaku Bonsam says he backs up over 1,700 African preachers ‘spiritually’
Prophet TB Joshua who is the founder of Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), has come under fire several times for allegedly hiring people to pretend to be sick and disabled and then claim to heal them during his prayer meetings.
Kwaku Bonsam, who operates from a shrine at Sa-Peiman, a village on the outskirts of Nsawam in east Ghana, is assumed to be a very strong witch doctor who is also called ‘Devil of Wednesday’.
Apparently, this Ghanaian priest is said to be very powerful, that he has claimed he’s the ‘spiritual father’ of some of the most powerful preachers in Africa.
Here’s what the priest had to say:
“Over 1, 700 pastors and so called men of God from different parts of Africa have approached me, seeking powers to perform miracles, including Prophet T.B Joshua from Nigeria. He is my boy. I challenge him to come out and deny this. Apart from the pastors, many prominent business people and celebrated church founders in Africa frequent my shrine for my services and if they deny, I am going to name them.”
Kwaku Bonsam went on to say that his god is called Kofi-Kofi, and he fortifies him with supernatural powers which he in turn provides to pastors across Africa.
The question is, why would he choose to threaten to expose his ‘dedicated’ patrons?
The crisis currently being witnessed in the Nigerian entertainment industry is taking a new turn as the day goes by and while some issues are being put to rest, some are beginning to come up.
Latest of such issues has been the allegation of song theft between Blackface and 2Baba and Wizkid.
Blackface who has been in the news lately over the allegation feels 2Baba whom they have been together from day one is not treating him fairly after making hits with some of his works.
Not being specific about some of the songs, during an interview with TVC morning programme, Your View, where he was a celebrity guest, the singer stated that he does not want anything from 2Baba but just simple acknowledgment either from him or any other person using his works.
In his words, “2face feels I am someone you can trample upon. I am one person that have thought these guys how to be a good song writer and thought them the rudiments of music, yet they will just see one as nothing.
I am not expecting anything from 2face just simple credits. Just like when Kennis music signed him, they did ‘African Queen’ and I was not given credit and that took them time.”
Blackface was later advised that rather than continually have issues with artistes over song theft, he should rather make it a business whereby he writes and give the likes of Omawumi to sing but he was not comfortable with the idea as he cleared the air that he is not a freelance writer.
“No. There are people we call freelance writer and I am not such a person. I have people I am writing for and then I know we have an agreement together so I can’t just write song for anybody,” he added.
Blac Chyna who of course has been trending this week for being linked to Rob Kardashian was arrested on Friday Evening after allegedly getting wasted and becoming belligerent during a flight from Los Angeles, California to Austin, Texas on her way to London.
According to TMZ…
Chyna was busted in the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport Friday afternoon. Cops tells us … when the plane landed they were there and met her at the gate.
She stormed toward the gate for a connecting flight and an eyewitness says she screamed at an airline employee, “Nasty ass bitch.”
That was enough for cops, and they arrested her on the spot.
An eyewitness tells TMZ, Chyna appeared “heavily intoxicated” on the plane and was “fighting” with a flight attendant, acting “like a drunken fool.”
Another eyewitness says, at one point she screamed, “Y’all got no respect for me. I gotta tie my shoes. Let me tie my Yeezys.”
She’d just taken off a few hours earlier from LAX aboard a Delta flight … her final destination was London with a layover in Austin.
An eyewitness tells us, Chyna was handcuffed and crying as she was taken away.
Chyna was in jail at the time of this post. She was booked for public intoxication.

“My Dearest Diane, Like joke like joke we both are getting older. Today is your birthday and once again I can’t help but to celebrate you in the open, what I have always done for the past 37yrs of our married life. Celebrating our extraordinary life together. I hope that our togetherness over the years have taught some people about perseverance, tolerance, discipline and love. You know our marriage has not been a bed of roses like that, but we have stayed loyal together through all kinds of terrible weather, never strayed, through all the challenges, battling so many winches and wizards, through tick and thin, even in poverty and great hopelessness. I have been our soldier, protecting this fragile thing called marriage. E no easyooooooooo. Thank you for standing by me through all my bullshit, my ignorance and my mood swings, the fact is that I can never live with anyone like me but you have managed to survive 37yrs of me. Sometimes am not sure I deserve you, some other times I feel I could have done better or you could have done better. However, I trust that you have the stomach to still tolerate us for another 37yrs.”
He also gave her Kudos for been the bedrock of their blissful union after he had recorded 3 failed marriages.
“Frankly, after 3 failed marriages, so many krugeegee waka, I think God did indeed bless me with you. You know it’s not all the time that I will be sweet and romantic like you would like me to be, because sometimes my eyes dey see pepper for this nonsensical environment. However, one thing you can take to the bank is that am serving “Life” with you. You have taught me that marriage isn’t about how compatible couples are but how they deal with their incompatibility. You are one of the things in my life that I got right, my ultimate merit badge. I know what your life here means to me, it’s been like a blessing sent from God that I can truly see. God through you has shown me who I need to be. Thank you my wife and a very Happy BirthDay to you, may we never grow old. If no be YOU, Na who. Your Loyal Mugu( for life ) Charly,” he wrote.
