It’s been reported newly, following the break up and make up of Kylie Jenner and Tyga, that the reality TV star only took the rapper back to spite his ex/Baby mama, Blac Chyna.
According to Radaronline, an insider exclusively revealed that the main reason the 18-year-old reality star can’t let her bad news boyfriend go once and for all is because he’s been “crying on the shoulder” of his baby mama, Blac Chyna.
“Kylie’s so immature, she has this ridiculous ego and can’t take the thought of Blac getting Tyga to herself again,”
As reported by the site, 28-year-old Chyna rubbed Jenner’s short-lived breakup with Tyga, 26, in her face when she posted a video online showing a watch he bought her. Kylie determined to prove she can have him at will and took him back.
“Blac’s taunts are what persuaded Kylie to have these peace talks, so she could prove to herself and Blac that Tyga’s more interested in her,” revealed the source.

They were Fulani boys, about 12 or 15 of them. Since were taken into the forest, in about 50 hours that I spent with them, we had trekked all together not less than 40 kilometres,“As I explained before our kidnappers were Fulani young men between the ages of 25- 35 years. They demanded a ransom of N40 million from each of us and asked us to drop the money at designated location,”
“it was after we had been robbed that the young men forced the three of us to march into the bush with them” he explained.

For few months on social media now, RnB singer/rapper, Lynxx, has been all about God, inspirational quotes and all; which is an obvious change from ‘Ladies man’.
The singer took to his IG page, yesterday to talk about cheat-proofing your relationship by finding God first… Some wise words, he wrote:
People often say, Everyone cheats, Women hv learned it from men, men started it bla bla bla… Thats all “Worldly Talk” …alot of us are walking around blind… “Spiritually Blind” and there is only ONE source to restore that aspect of sight and thats from “Above”. What is a relationship without God being at the center? Ill tell u… Its full of Chaos, Deceit, selfishness, lies, cheating, etc Why? Because humans are prone to live for Self! We are fallen creatures and getting back up isnt something we can achieve on our Own.. There is no amount of Loubs, Bags or even House u wanna buy for your significant other to make that relationship “Secure” “Unless the Lord builds a house, those who build it labor in vain”
Dont be in the gym working on 6pac while a man with a pot belly is spending time with ur babe
Build you relationships on a Concrete foundation and sleep in Peace. Marriages, relationships, friendships all Weak and suffering today from Lack of Spiritual Life, the moment u realize money is never the answer ,the closer u r to a REAL solution. “The Fear of God Is the beginning of Wisdom” ….do yourself a favor and secure your lives and relationships “Properly”… People do things in the dark because they think YOU cant see them, but never forget as long as u r breathing, GOD is watching… Stop living Aloof, u deserve a life being “Awake” and not being a sleeping Giant… #FoodForThought
Mrs. Oluchi Emeka, a devastated widow from the village of Umuokoroala, Afugiri, Umuahia North Council Area of Abia State has cried out to public spirited individuals after she lost goods worth over N500, 000 to a strange fire that razed her provision shop.
Narrating her ordeal, Mrs. Emeka said that she heard some strange noise at about 1 a.m but thought the noise was coming from her neighbour’s house and when the noise persisted, she opened her window and discovered that her shop was on fire.
Speaking to Vanguard, she said:
“It was beyond my comprehension. When I raised an alarm , my neighbours came out to help me put out the fire. But by the time we opened the shop, all my goods were already burnt down.
“Nothing was rescued from the shop and I just stocked my shop for Christmas sales. I have no money to restock my shop again,” she lamented.
“We don’t use candle in the shop and nothing was plugged to any electric source. Besides, there was power outage all through the night. Even the fuel and kerosene in the shop were not burnt. I can’t explain the cause of this fire. I am a widow with six children. I really need help and support to start over again.”
A resident of the community who did not want her name in print alleged that such fire incident must be the handiwork of some evil people who do not appreciate the progress of others.
“This lady lost husband last year and this Christmas, they have also burnt her shop. Her enemies are at work and I will only advise her to be strong in prayer,” she said

In line with the heavy criticisms following the move by the Nigerian senate to pass a bill censoring social media, leadership of the Senate has assured Nigerians that they will be able to make input and determine the fate of the controversial Act to Prohibit Frivolous Petitions and Other Related Matters bill, sponsored by Senator Ibn Na’Allah, APC, Kebbi South.
In a statement on Sunday by its spokesperson, Senator Aliyu Sabi, the Senate is quoted as saying:
“The senate is committed to freedom of speech and a fully inclusive and participatory democracy.“The process of passing a bill is comprehensive and provide for inputs to be taken from all and sundry.
The fist stage is merely to read the short title of the bill. The second stage is purely to debate the general principles.
“The next stage is committal of the bill to appropriate committee or committees for further detailed legislative action where the details, intendment and clause by clause implications of the bill is dissected by the committee.
This stage also involve public hearing in which members of the public, civil society, non governmental organizations and all interested parties for or against the bill have the opportunity to shape and influence its content.
“The outcome from this committee stage is what will be finalized and then represented to the chamber for clause by clause consideration and approval or disapproval by the Senate.
Thereafter, if the bill is approved, then the clean version of the bill is forwarded to the House of Representatives for concurrence or otherwise” “Accordingly, the Senate wants to re-assure the public about this.
So, all those who are either for or against this bill or its part and any other one have ample opportunities to reshape it”, he stated.
“We will always ensure we pass laws which meets best practices across the world and indeed democratic scrutiny. Suggesting that the senate wants to pass a law not even practiced in China etc is being mischievous.
“This Senate is people-centred, pro-poor and participatory. We will always act in the best interest of the citizenry. In this regard, we are totally committed to performing our duties and discharging our responsibilities without let or hindrance.
“All those spreading hate campaigns as a result of the Anti-frivolity bill, hauling insults at and making derogatory comments on Senators of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the institution of the Senate are advised to key into the elaborate legislative process that a bill must pass through before becoming law if they are interested in shaping the outcome of the bill.
This is the right way to go and part of the change we all aspire for our democracy
“The eighth Senate is totally committed to protecting the liberty of all Nigerians and the independence of the Senate and the legislative arm of government as we deepen our democratic journey”,

Some Nigerian football fans were on Saturday expelled from a football stadium in Senegal for displaying Biafran flags.
The fans were expelled minutes after they displayed Biafran flags alongside Nigerian flags at a football match between Nigeria and Algeria at the U-23 African Cup of Nations holding in Dakar, the Senegalese capital.
There have been protests in South-East Nigeria by Igbos who demand for a separate Biafran country. Biafra was also the name adopted by the Eastern Nigeria during the civil war between 1967 and 1970, after which a ‘no victor, no vanquish’ was declared by the federal government after Biafra was defeated.
On Saturday, the Senegalese football association officials considered the display of the Biafran flags at the Leopold Sedar Senghor stadium “a militant act”.
As a result, the Vice President of the Senegalese Football Federation, FSF, Amadou Kane, who was in charge of the organisation, ordered security officials to respond by tearing down the Biafran flags and posters and expelling the supporters involved.
Senegalese FA officials said the group took advantage of the presence of the media at the stadium to raise the Biafran flag.
Dressed in T-shirts with the Biafra logo, eye witnesses said the group “invaded” the left wing of the covered pavilion to flaunt the Biafran flag alongside that of Nigeria. They later displayed a large flag calling for Biafran autonomy.
The match eventually ended 0-0 with Nigeria coming second in Group B with five points, behind Algeria.
Nigeria will face Senegal in the semi-final next week while Algeria will battle South Africa.
