So today, 20th of September, 2015 is quite a huge day for music mogul, 2Face Idibia as he has his fortifyed concert today. While many put on their best look for the tremendous event, his wife, Annie, made sure she wasn’t left out as she dressed to murder the show.

41 year old Ex-Super Eagles Defender, Taribo West who was popularly known for his ‘Green’ Dreads has come out to admit he contacted herbalists to help him play better than his colleagues and even sometimes win matches for the country and his various clubs.
In his words:
“Of course yes (I was involved). I don’t know why people decline to talk about their involvement with charms,” he admitted.
“Football has to do with a lot of powers. When there are big events, you look at the stadium, you see people, fans invoking all kinds of things; magicians are there, voodooists are there.”
Speaking further, Taribo said, ‘In my playing days, when I was ignorant, I used to get some mallams and babalawos (traditional doctors) to make charms for us, which we took to (national) camp. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t.
‘In some clubs, before every game, the president or leader of the club will give you a lucky charm to play with. They will tell you to put it in your boots or socks and play. It’s their superstitious belief; that it can help them win matches.
‘There are some coaches who are connected to African magicians and soothsayers from Senegal, Burkina Faso, Zaire or even Nigeria. These people are consulted to give these coaches results of games even before the matches are played.
‘These people see strange things and they can tell you with their magic and charms, what the outcome of a match will be. People believe and use it. It works for those who believe in it. I saw it, I experienced it, I was with players that used it and I used it. So, why are people denying it? There are charms and rituals in football. It still exists,’ he revealed.
Explaining his meeting with God and quitting occultism after meeting a female pastor, Patience Ikemefuna, Taribo said,
‘God used her to change my life and ever since, my life has never been the same. I’m grateful to her.
‘When I had an encounter with God and I became born again, I discovered that these powers were powerless. It was an avenue to collect money from us. There are lots of voodoo practices in football. If you are not with God, you have to be with the devil; with the devil they come with everything,’ he reeled.

Speaking recently to Punch, The Local Rapper explained that the bank does not in any way affect his career. He also suggested that the NBC should hire people who understand the Industry.
“I think NBC should try to hire people that understand the industry because abroad, they also have these laws but once the radio version is clean, they do not disturb the artistes.
They should create a screening board that would check our works and inform us of the ones they feel are not for public consumption.
“It is not fair that they make us go through the process of creating a hit song, and shooting the video with millions and they later tell us the song is banned.
What have they been doing since? They should consider us too because we spend a lot of money putting these works together.
As for me, it has minimal effects but I am sure that there are a lot of people out there that it really affects.
He also added that, ‘The ban on my song, Tesojue, actually makes little or no difference. The song was released last year and it enjoyed airplay towards the end of last year and early this year. I am not someone who often goes to a radio station with my songs, so the effect is very minimal.
‘Although it is very disappointing, it has little or no effect on my career or creative flow…But whenever I submit my songs to radio stations, I make sure they are clean. For those that are not clean, I make sure I re-record them and edit the vulgar part for public consumption on the radio,’he said.

“At different times, N37million and N41. 4 million was lodged into two accounts owned by one Uchenna Okengwu.
“The accused also credited the sum of N10 million into the account of one Rosamund Okengwu and N9.5 million paid into one Chukwuemeka Okengwu’s account.’’
The accused pleaded not guilty to the charges. The case has been adjourned to Sept. 22.
In line with reports of the warrant of arrest issued against Senate President Bukola Saraki, he has replied the motive by the officials with a statement.
Read:
Following the development in the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) today, Friday, September 18, 2015 when the Tribunal chose to ignore the subsisting order of a Federal High Court by sitting, we hereby state our position as follows:
1. While the Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, had stated and maintains that he is ready to submit himself to due process of the law on any issue concerning him, he also believes he has an inalienable right to resort to the same judiciary for protection when he feels his fundamental rights are about to be infringed upon.
2. It is for this reason that Dr. Saraki, having satisfied himself that the case filed by the CCB and the manner in which the case was filed show that he will not be given justice, resorted to the Federal High Court for the determination of the issues of competence of the prosecutor as well as compliance with the procedure stipulated in the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act.
3. The Federal High Court on Thursday, September 17, 2015, therefore ordered that the all parties in the case should appear before it on Monday, September 21, 2015. The implication of this ruling by a Court of competent jurisdiction is that the sitting today has been overtaken by event. It is for this reason that Dr. Saraki chose to go about with his normal official schedule.
4. Today at the Tribunal, Counsel to the Senate President, Mr. M. A. Mahmud (SAN), raised a motion stating that there is a pending constitutional matter before the Federal High Court to be decided on Monday and that the Tribunal should hold the trial until the constitutional matter is disposed of.
5. We are however dismayed that the Tribunal chose to disregard the order of the Federal High Court and the motion to suspend hearing till Monday when all parties are expected to argue their positions on the constitutional matter.
6. It is also a surprise to us that despite the application by the lead counsel to the Senate President that he will produce Dr. Saraki on Monday and the personality of the person involved as the Number three man in the country, the Tribunal insisted on issuing a warrant of arrest as if its intention is simply to embarrass Dr. Saraki. We are not unmindful of the fact that the Tribunal is acting under political influence and external pressure. This is dangerous to our democracy.
7. The conduct of the Tribunal today left nobody in doubt that it cannot do justice on the matter before it. It is also clear that today’s decision is an abuse of the rule of law which portends danger to our judicial system. The Tribunal has equally set a bad precedent in the way and manner it conducted itself during the proceedings.
8. We want to emphasise the fact that this is not part of any war against corruption but using state institutions to fight political opponents and seeking to achieve through the back door what some people cannot get through democratic process.
9. We need to caution here that in a desperate bid to settle political scores and nail imaginary enemies, we should not destroy our democratic institutions and heat the polity for selfish reasons. Let us all learn from history.
9. The Senate President is a law abiding citizen who will not do anything to undermine the judicial process and authority. However, Dr. Saraki will always act to protect his fundamental human rights.
End
Signed
Yusuph Olaniyonu
Special Adviser (Media and Publicity) to the Senate President.
Popular Fuji star, Wasiu Alabi Pasuma has reportedly reacted to the suspension of a Redeemed Christian Church of God Pastor, Toyin Ogundipe who was alleged to have paid him to perform at a crusade slated to hold in one of the parishes in Lagos Island.
The Fuji star declared that, in spite of the church’s management paying for the show, it is never done to expect him to pay back the “artiste fee” saying, “the fault is not ours, we were ready to perform for them until we learnt of the cancelation of the crusade”.
City People reports that, the Pastor in charge of Province 20 of the Redeemed Church had invited Pasuma to perform at the Church’s forthcoming crusade titled, “Lagos Island Family Areas Forum” between Friday, October 23rd – Sunday 25th, 2015.
Pasuma’s picture appeared on the handbill advert and posters alongside gospel singer, Tope Alabi and a former band leader of the late Fela Anikulapo’s Egypt 80 band, Kereke Jike.
The decision to stop the programme was because the church headquarters felt the Pastor had gone too far by inviting a secular artiste such as Pasuma to its church programme.
A source who spoke on condition of anonymity said the organisers did not do a detailed consultation before going ahead with the programme.
He also said that it was as a result of it that the programme was cancelled and the Pastor in charge of the church along with the organising committee suspended as they now await further sanction from the provisional headquarters for dragging the name of the church in the mud.
investigations by City People reveal that The Redeemed Christian Church of God clearly frowns at the use of secular musicians, a development which has been clearly stated in its handbook to Pastors.
Popular On Air Personality, Nedu of the 95.1 Wazobia Fm, a radio station that is loved by so many Nigerians, has hinted that most of his accounts have been manipulated by hackers.

Following the report of the court granting a warrant for the Senate President’s arrest, the Inspector General of Police has vowed that without delay, he’d arrest Bukola Saraki.
According to the Police Force Public Relations Officer, Mrs. Olabisi Kolawole.
“We are going to promptly arrest the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki and produce him before the Code of Conduct Tribunal on Monday.“Since it is a bench warrant issued by a competent court, the order will be carried out without delay. We don’t want to pre-empt anything.”
This actually, is the worst you could ever do a blind person and it really isn’t fair at all. Classic foreign singer, Stevie Wonder’s late attorney, ho also happens to be his right-hand man for decades allegedly duped him into penning his signature to a contract he never saw.
The contract makes the singer pay the lawyer’s family forever as long as he lives.
TMZ reports, Stevie just filed legal docs, in which he says his longtime lawyer, Johanan Vigoda, put a contract in front of Stevie’s face when he was 21 years old. The deal was, Stevie would pay Johanan 6% of all music royalties. But there’s a clause that says payments to the lawyer’s family go on “forever.”
Johanan died in 2011, but Stevie’s record company continued to pay Johanan’s widow. Stevie says he didn’t realize payments were being made for nearly 2 years, and when he caught wind, he ordered payments to be stopped. He claims he trusted Johanan and the lawyer never said the 6% would survive his death.
Stevie says in his docs he was betrayed by a man he trusted and wants a judge to declare he no longer has a duty to pay royalties, because the attorney took advantage of a blind man. Johanan’s widow has filed her own lawsuit, demanding Stevie pay from the time he stopped and forever in the future. She wants $7 mil minimum.

A man was left with no choice than to spend his night on the ledge of a seven storeys building after his lover’s husband came home unannounced.
People’s Daily Online tells the story; they reveal that the married woman’s lover was stuck between two air-conditioning units all night, during the bizarre incident in China.
It wasn’t until the unnamed woman’s husband went out to work the next day that she called firemen and asked for them to rescue him.
A local fire brigade spokesman said:
“Fortunately he had already dressed himself and was about to leave when the woman’s husband came home, and she had managed to persuade him to scramble out the window.”
At first, the man claimed he could not remember how he got out onto the narrow ledge, but police eventually got the story from the woman.
She admitted she had brought the man home with her, not expecting that the husband would return early from a business trip.
“He had apparently been drinking a fair amount, and that probably gave him the courage to jump onto the ledge, but by the morning he realised it would be extremely foolish to attempt to climb back [into the flat].”
Sister to the father of the daughter of Whitney Houston, who passed on recently, Bobbi Kristina, Leolah Brown (Lol.

She said:
“This was no accident. I will never believe this was an accident… I believe that somebody killed my niece, just like they killed her mother.” “I believe that Whitney was murdered. At some point we have to wake up and realize this is too close, too similar – mother, daughter, both in bathtubs… Something is very, very wrong with that picture.”
Nollywood actress, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, has explained why she has been reluctant to relocate abroad despite opportunities to do so.
According to the superstar actress, she is scared such move might destroy her family, which she does not want.
Omotola told Olisa Adibua on his ‘The Truth’ programme that relocating abroad might render her husband jobless because there are very good pilots in the US.
She said:
“I have gotten a few calls and it’s been a very difficult decision to make in my career. I keep hearing this all the time and it’s almost like the elephant in room. So twice I have had the opportunity to relocate, I would say the reason why I haven’t relocated is because it would break my family.
“My husband doesn’t want to relocate, he doesn’t want to live abroad, he doesn’t like to live abroad, it will be very difficult for him to get a very good job abroad because there are so many pilots in America most of them don’t even have work. So it will mean me moving and him staying here so that will be issue for the family.”
“No matter the struggle , No matter the hustle , No matter the Matters Arising, there is always one unchangeable fact – God is the Ultimate Boss. ”
