“You’re a symbol of love, selflessness and compassion, strong yet tender to all of us. The lessons you gave me are as priceless as the sacrifices you made to get me to where I am today. Even now, as I speak of you, secret tears still flow within my soul, what it meant to lose you no one will ever know.
“I love you mama, I always will. Thank you for looking after me in such a special way from a special place, I am ok, we are ok. I turned out super great and I am sure you are happy, please come for my wedding.
“I know you never leave my sight, your presence I feel always and I hope someday I will be half the mother you were.
“Sleep on mama, sleep on princess, sleep on baby, for you left us in the hands of the best man in the world and he did such a great job. I love you now and forever more mama, the Queen of my heart. Mama I just want u to know that loving you is like sweet to my soul 28years, Rip baby.”

The suspect, who was identified as Paul Osita Eli, was arrested in the early hours of Monday at Number 2, Charles Edozien Avenue, Asaba, where he was reportedly packaging the counterfeit drugs with mobile authentication number to make it look genuine.
The drugs found in his three-bedroom apartment where he operates from included Maloxine, Lumatem (anti-malaria drugs), LOFNAC, Buscomac and Rysovin alongside already printed mobile authentication numbers.
Eli, who claimed to be a graduate of Management Science from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, while speaking with newsmen, said he had been in the business for over one year, adding that he did the packaging of the drugs after receiving them from his business associate, whom he simply named as Achubuike in Lagos.

It was reported yesterday of a couple, whose baby was switched by a staff in El Salvador’s hospital for some months. Well, in an amusing twist of happenstance, the British man and his wife who alleged that their real baby was sold to traffickers were last night reunited with their lost son.
Investigators reportedly tracked down the child by ordering other new mothers to have their babies DNA tested.
The parents of four other boys who were also born on the same day, May 21, had last week brought their babies to be DNA tested last week after an order was issued by the country’s Prosecutor General’s Office, which had taken over the investigation.
The baby whose tests were last to be processed proved to be the couple’s real child. Speaking last night, Prosecutor General Luis Martinez said that the babies of two couples had been mixed up and that each would be returned to their rightful parents at a special court hearing with the presence of a judge.
The family’s lawyer, Fernando Meneses, said that the case “apparently” seemed to be an accidental mix-up of the infants and urged the hospital to review procedures to ensure it could not happen again
A tenant, identified simply as Abdullahi, has been apprehended after he allegedly killed his 85 year old landlady, Raliat Olasupo, over a N9,000 debt in the Ibafo area of Ogun state
According to Punch, Abdullahi slaughtered the 85-year-old landlady with a knife during an altercation over N9,000, said to be an amount the landlady was supposed to pay Abdullahi for a service rendered.
It was learnt that the service was the roofing of one of the rooms in the house, which Abdullahi reportedly coordinated and demanded N9,000 from the landlady.
Olasupo, popularly called Iya Ibadan, had accused Abdullahi of being a trouble maker, and had got the police to arrest the tenant and eject him from the house.
However, on Friday, Abdullahi allegedly sneaked into her landlady’s room at about 08:00pm, and slaughtered her with a knife. It was learnt that other tenants and neighbours later found the woman in a pool of blood.
A tenant, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Abdullahi, who had been with the landlady for about four years, cut the woman’s neck with a knife and staggered out, behaving like a drunken man.
“On Friday, we were sleeping when there was an alarm at about 10pm. All of us rushed into the landlady’s room, and found her in a pool of blood. There were knife cuts on her neck and other parts of her body. Abdullahi was still around the area.
“Abdullahi used to be a good friend of the landlady, but they fell out about two weeks ago. There was an issue bordering on the roofing of one of the rooms in the house, and Abdullahi was the one who coordinated the people who worked there.
“I think the work was not properly done, and the man demanded N9,000 from the landlady as payment for the work. So, they had a disagreement.
“Some days ago, the landlady brought policemen from Ibafo to warn Abdullahi, and to ask him to leave the house. His property was thrown out, and the landlady warned him not to return to the house.”
The tenant added that they were shocked when Abdullahi, who had threatened to deal with the landlady, then showed up on Friday to attack the woman in her room.
A resident in the area, identified as Akinlade, said Abdullahi had planned to disguise out of the area, and escape police arrest.
“On that day, after returning from the landlady’s room and feigning that he was drunk, he slipped into another tenant’s room and changed clothes. He was about escaping when the other tenants caught him.
Olasupo’s grandson, Olaide, told the publication that the landlady was taken to her hometown in Ibadan for burial, adding that the Hausa community in Ibafo had also met with the family on the incident.
He said:
“Mama has been buried already, and we do not want to interfere with the police investigations. The man has been arrested, and he is in Ibafo Police Division. The Seriki of the Hausa community in Ibafo has met with us.
“Abdullahi, apart from the recent clash, had also at a time sold some of mama’s livestock, and failed to remit the money. When she asked him to leave the house , he threatened that he would kill the landlady, but we all thought it was a joke.”
Head of states, President Muhammadu Buhari has revealed that he has, for four times declared his assets since 1975. The President said the media should stop harassing him.
Speaking on Monday to journalists in Accra, Ghana, the Nigerian president is quoted saying:
“I recall that in 1975 when late Murtala Mohammed became the Head of State, we were lined up in the corridor – governors, ministers, members of the Supreme Military Council – and officials of the Ministry of Justice were brought and every individual was made to declare his assets.
“So right now, all heads of state and government, governors, ministers, permanent secretaries will have to declare their assets because it is a constitutional requirement.”
The President said it was a constitutional requirement that public officers declare their assets.“In Nigeria, it is a constitutional issue and that is why I am blaming you gentlemen of the press. If you really want to do investigative journalism, you don’t have to worry me at this stage; I have declared my assets four times.When I was governor in 1975, I declared. After being Minister of Petroleum and as a member of Supreme Military Council, I declared. When I was Head of State and now as a President, I also declared.
“I have declared my assets and all that I have four times, and you (the media) have the right to go and demand for my declaration. Instead, I am being harassed.”
Classic Nigerian singer, Muma Gee, who recently marked 18 years as a professional singer says that in spite the inflock of a new crop of singers, that they are no threat to her.
When the singer, who partook in the 2015 General elections, was asked by Encomium, if her career progression is threatened by singers likeTiwa Savage, Seyi Shay and Yemi Alade and so on, she said:
Noooo, not at all! No artist can be a threat to me because Muma Gee is a very unique African brand with features that cannot be found in others but the ones in others can be found in me.Yes, that of the others can’t be found with my brand. As such, I feel honoured to be the pioneer of most features and characteristics I see in most of these artistes you just mentioned and I can confidently say I created this style and genre but they took it to another dimension. And I’m back now to take it to the next level with my Motherland album. Watch out!
