Big Brother Naija star and Actor, Uti Nwachukwu recently took to his social media page to call out the Lagos state government after emergency numbers failed to help in his attempt to rescue a Hit-and-run victim.

The reality star spotted a badly injured man lying in the pool of his own blood after being hit by a driver who drove off after the accident. According to Uti, he called the emergency numbers provided by the state. He said the operator initially picked up his call and he gave them the location of the accident. He said after waiting for sometime without seeing any of the rescue team, he called again and the operator hung up on him.

The Actor decided to help the man by taking him to the hospital himself.

“Lagos State Government, I am completely appalled by you guys.

You give us an emergency number, 112, I have been calling and nobody is answering.” He said in parts in the video.

September 8, 2022

Queen Elizabeth II is loved and adored by millions in the United Kingdom and hundreds of millions worldwide irrespective of personal opinions on her legacy and the role of the monarchy in different parts of the world.

She has been sitting on the British throne since February 1952, and is the second longest serving monarch in history, only 2 years behind Louis XIV whose reign lasted 72 years, 110 days.

Queen Elizabeth II’s time on the throne has encompassed countless pivotal moments in the nation’s history, with 15 British Prime Ministers serving during her reign. The first head of state to open two Olympic Games in two countries (Montreal 1976 and London 2012), she also became the first reigning British monarch to set foot in Russia in 1994.

Even though she is the most prominent monarch in the world, Queen Elizabeth II is still human, and subject to the laws of life and death. And today, Sep 8, 2022, she finally kicked the royal bucket.

Following her passing, “Operation London Bridge” – the codename given to the plan in place for national protocols that will be enacted in the event her death has been activated. These are the things that will now happen:

DAY OF THE QUEEN’S DEATH

1. Announcement of the Queen’s Death: On the day of her death, the Queen’s Private Secretary will inform the Prime Minister who will be one of the first to be informed of the monarch’s passing. This message will be delivered by the Queen’s Private Secretary and sent to members of the Privy Council Office.

Members of Parliament and senior civil servants will also receive a call and an email stating: “Dear colleagues, It is with sadness that I write to inform you of the death of Her Majesty The Queen.”

An announcement on social media and flags across the UK are to be at half-mast within 10 minutes of the news.

The London stock market will close for the day out of respect for the monarchy. Schools, businesses, and other public institutions will also close for the day.

2. Prince Charles Address: the soon-to-be crowned King Charles will address the nation in a televised broadcast after the announcement.

The Prime Minister will hold an audience with Charles, while the Ministry of Defence will organize gun salutes and a minute of silence will be held across the country.

There are ready-made documentaries about her life that will be released. BBC news casters have black suits on standby, and will change into them immediately after her death is announced. The iconic red logo of the BBC will change to black. The BBC will refrain from playing comedy shows until after the funeral as a sign of respect for the Queen.

DAY 2

– Prince Charles Becomes King: The Accession Council will name Charles the new King and a proclamation will be read out at St James’ Palace and the Royal Exchange.

The Prime Minister will give a speech which will be followed by a tribute from members of Parliament the next day.

Her Majesty’s coffin will return to Buckingham Palace where the PM and cabinet members will be waiting.

DAY 3 – 4

– KING CHARLES TOUR OF UK: King Charles will set off on his tour of the United Kingdom, visiting the Scottish Parliament and St Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh, then Northern Ireland’s Hillsborough Castle and a service at St Anne’s Cathedral, Belfast.

Meanwhile, in London, meticulous rehearsals for the late Queen’s funeral will be taking place.

DAY 5

– PROCESSION: On the fifth day, the Queen’s coffin will be led on a military procession, starting at Buckingham Palace and ending at the Houses of Parliament, then a service will be held at Westminster Hall.

The Queen will then lie in state for four days, as Kings Charles, the royal family, dignitaries from around the world, and members of the public visit to pay their respect.

DAY 6 – 9

– KING CHARLES VISITS WALES: King Charles will visit the Welsh Parliament and service at Cardiff’s Llandaff Cathedral.

Plans for the funeral will enter their final phase as mourners gather to mourn the Queen.

DAY 10

– THE QUEEN’S FUNERAL: The day of the Queen’s Funeral will be an official bank holiday. It will be a day of National Mourning and at 11 am, the bells of Big Ben will chime and a two (2) minute of silence will be held across the United Kingdom.

The funeral will take place at Westminster Abbey with 2,000 special guests, followed by a committal service at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, where Queen Elizabeth II will be laid to rest next to her father King George VI.

The Stock Exchange will close that day, for the second time and many businesses will also close.

AFTERMATH OF THE QUEEN’S FUNERAL

An official coronation for King Charles will take place on another bank holiday.
The current notes and coins would slowly be withdrawn from circulation. New notes will be printed and King Charles’s portrait will be on the new notes.
New stamps, passports, and police and military uniforms will also be printed.
The Anthem is changed from God save the Queen to God save the King.

Note: There will be 12 days of mourning but only her funeral date will be a national holiday.

September 8, 2022

Queen Elizabeth II, Britain’s longest-reigning monarch and the nation’s figurehead for seven decades, has died aged 96, Buckingham Palace said on Thursday.

Her family gathered at her Scottish estate after concerns grew about her health earlier on Thursday.

The Queen came to the throne in 1952 and witnessed enormous social change.

With her death, her eldest son Charles, the former Prince of Wales, will lead the country in mourning as the new King and head of state for 14 Commonwealth realms.

In a statement, Buckingham Palace said: “The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.

“The King and the Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.”

All the Queen’s children travelled to Balmoral, near Aberdeen, after doctors placed the Queen under medical supervision.

Her grandson, Prince William, is also there, with his brother, Prince Harry, on his way.

Queen Elizabeth II’s tenure as head of state spanned post-war austerity, the transition from empire to Commonwealth, the end of the Cold War and the UK’s entry into – and withdrawal from – the European Union.

Her reign spanned 15 prime ministers starting with Winston Churchill, born in 1874, and including Liz Truss, born 101 years later in 1975, and appointed by the Queen earlier this week.

She held weekly audiences with her prime minister throughout her reign.

The Queen was born Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor, in Mayfair, London, on 21 April 1926.

Big Brother Naija housemate, Bella has finally cleaned up the dining area where she poured food during an argument with Rachel.

Recall that the duo had a clash last night over food. Rachel, who had volunteered to make food for the house, alongside Phyna and Chichi, prepared rice for the entire house last night.

However, while she dished the food, Bella seemed not pleased as she insisted she wanted beef while Rachel gave her chicken.

Rachel tried to explain that there were only four beefs in the soup, and people had already told her they wanted it before Bella came.

This ticked off Bella’s lover, Sheggz, who lambasted Rachel and said that by now, Rachel should have known his woman’s likes and dislikes.

Sheggz called Rachel stupid, and she retaliated by calling him and his family unprintable names.

In an attempt to defend her lover, Bella returned the food Rachel dished out for her, shoving it in her face, and the food poured, which threw the house into chaos. Watch here

Following the incident, Sheggz was ordered to clean up the spilled food by the HOH, Hermes, last night but he vehemently refused because Rachel called him ‘boy boy’ during their verbal altercation.

Well, this morning, Bella was seen sweeping and cleaning her mess shortly after she was summoned into the diary room by Big Brother.

Blessing Newton Abahi, the woman behind the trending “bunch of women” soundtrack, has reconciled with her husband.

Blessing became an internet sensation a few months ago when a video of her telling a court how she found her husband having intercourse with eight women on their matrimonial bed went viral.

Blessing gave the court a vivid explanation of how she had witnessed her husband groping eight different women simultaneously in their marital bed and how he had viciously attacked her for getting in the way of his enjoyment.

While describing how she caught him red-handed on their matrimonial bed, she said, “There were a bunch of women, a bunch of women surrounded in my room.”

Soon after, the amusing sound was made into a soundtrack and used in memes and hilarious videos across social media platforms.

In an interview, Blessing revealed that she made the difficult decision to end the toxic marriage after her husband made an attempt on her life.

“Everybody now call me bunch of women if you really know the true story behind the video you will know that its not funny. You will have pity on me…There were really bunch of women in my room, eight of them and my husband was just busy, changing them like wrapper, when I spoke my husband slapped me, that what right do I have to interfere in his fun”, she said in part.

However, in a recent development, Blessing, who recently started a business with the help of funds from well-meaning Nigerians, has reconciled with her husband.

In a new video that found its way to the internet, Blessing said that they were separated but the court brought them back together and she is grateful for that.

US-based Nigerian singer and dancer, Korra Obidi, has reaffirmed her stance on her divorce from her estranged husband, Justin Dean.

The mother of two, in a Facebook live session on Thursday morning, while responding to reactions that followed a video of her sobbing after being separated from her children, avowed that even if she’s given the sum of $20K to go back to her ex-husband, she won’t.

Recall that Korra Obidi got quite emotional on Tuesday as she spoke about her struggles with divorce.

Speaking on the consequences of divorce in a video she shared on social media, Korra revealed her children, including 6-months-old Athena, have been taken away from her for some days now.

In another video posted on Thursday, Korra Obidi refuted assertions that the divorce is having a negative impact on her.

She urged netizens to ignore such a narrative and insisted that she’s unperturbed.

According to her, such narratives perpetuate the idea that women need men to live and are what keep the majority of women in abusive marriages and relationships.

She advised women in toxic relationship to leave immediately and learn to love themselves.

“First and foremost even if you use $20,000 to dash me to go back, e no go happen. I said what I said. Some of you trying to make it seem as if no oo, I’m now dead, am I dead? Do you think I want to go back to abuse. If you try to paint that nonsense image of oh my God look, look at how she’s suffering now, she’s crying, let me tell you for free now I korra Obidi… I’m not suffering. Divorce is not easy but I’m not suffering”. She said.

Hushpuppi appeals for lighter sentence after emerging one of the best cleaners in prison

September 8, 2022

Embattled Nigerian socialite facing trial in the United States, Ramon Abbas a.k.a Hushpuppi, has appealed to the judge to tamper justice with mercy and hand him a lighter sentence.

According to him, he has been of good behaviour and is one of the best cleaners in the prison where he has been remanded since his arrest in 2021.

In a record obtained by Peoples Gazette, which was revealed as part of his memorandum countering sentencing recommendations of prosecutors, it was contained that Hushpuppi is a good cleaner and relates well with his fellow inmates.

His report card for Central Valley workshop in prison also showed that he was ‘very good’ in attitude, quality of work, dependability and productivity.

In the light of this, the internet fraudster has appealed to US Judge, Otis Wright, to give him a lighter jail term for scoring high in the cleaning activities.

Hushpuppi’s lawyer, Louis Shapiro, wrote in a letter submitted on the 5th of September that “He is currently working within his prison cleaning windows and showers—for which he has received great personal evaluations.”

Meanwhile, the prosecution has demanded that Hushpuppi should be sentenced to 11 years in prison and pay $2.2 million in restitution and fines.

But Shapiro said his client has become a changed person in prison and should be sentenced to about two years in prison, stating that he has three young children in London, US, and Dubai and sick parents in Nigeria to take care of.

MMWTV: The Rise and Rise of Ololade-mi Asake

By

Chidi Okereke

-

September 8, 2022

From his humble beginnings as a small unsigned act to getting a verse from Olamide to getting a YBNL/Empire record deal, Asake has definitely come a long way. After Seven Number 1 songs, and an album that is already scattering everywhere, Mr Money With The Vibes cannot seem to put his foot (or voice) anywhere wrong.

An embodiment of when talent + preparation meets opportunity, Asake’s story is a compelling and inspiring one. In an industry where the average ‘blow’ age is 22/23, he broke into the limelight in his late 20s. His line from PBUY, “I just blow but omo I know my set” is even more profound because it emphasizes the fact that even though he just became a force, he has been grinding for a very long time.

Before the blow

Asake who actually started as a dancer studied Theater Arts in the famous Obafemi Awolowo University. To boost his appeal and increase his income, he decided to add music to his performing arts portfolio, and when he dropped a song, it became a hit in his school. This convinced him to prioritize music instead of dance, and his journey to stardom officially began.

The greatest performer in our music industry is in oau, his name is Asake

What i saw was unbelievable, thirty minutes of Greatness argghhhh

— Emeka The Stallion (@BlaqBonez) August 29, 2016

But it definitely wasn’t rosy. As far back as 2013, he was booed off stage when he tried to do a Fela-type performance with pants and semi nude women. In interviews he has stated that he wanted to give up a few times, but always managed to keep the fire burning. He eventually scored a moderate hit with Mr Money, released in 2020.

However, as is the norm in a fast-paced industry, the attention from that song and the remix featuring Peruzzi and Zlatan soon fizzled out, and he was back to the world of the ‘not blown’.

Yhemo Lee: The Plug

Feranmi, popularly known as Yhemo Lee is an actor, entrepreneur and Night-Life Enthusiast. He is also Asake’s friend and has been his (unofficial) A&R for years. Without informing Asake, he sent the Omo-Ope song to Olamide and asked the YBNL boss for a verse. Olamide liked the song, recorded a rap verse and sent it back. Yhemo Lee invited Asake over, and played Olamide’s verse to him, and as they say, the rest is history.

Olamide & YBNL

Prior to getting a surprise verse from Olamide, Asake had been texting the label boss for years, asking for an opportunity. He did not get a response. But soon after Omo-Ope dropped and was burning up the charts, Olamide reached out to Asake and requested they meet. When they did, he offered Asake a record contract with YBNL, and that is where the ‘blow’ truly began.

One call from @Olamide and everything changed

— ASAKE (@asakemusik) August 18, 2022

Debut Project

Following the success of Omo-Ope and his signing to YBNL, Asake’s first EP “Ololade Asake” was quickly launched by the label. It had four tracks, including “Omo Ope ft Olamide”, “Trabaye”, “Sungba” and “Baba God”. It spurned 2 Number 1 hits, and was quickly followed by a remix of Sungba, featuring Burna Boy. The remix literally replaced the original as Number One on the charts, and began what has become an ongoing run that will culminate in Asake replacing himself as number one on the charts, multiple times.

The Mega Blow

Asake is currently the number 1 Street Pop/Afro-Fusion artist in the country and is having a breakout year unlike anything we’ve ever seen. He possesses an ineffable vibe that is capable of making you play his songs over and over again.

With an eclectic approach to music, his creation process is unlike any other we’ve seen in recent times. He fuses his sounds from everywhere, including Fuji, HighLife, Pop, and HipHop, a blend that has separated him from the crowd. He makes music that resonates with his emotions and tells stories about his experiences, and that of those around him.

Landlord of the Charts

Asake has had a total of 7 Number One hit songs in 2022 – a record-breaking feat for any artist in Afrobeats history. These are Omo-Ope, Sungba, Sungba Rmx ft Burna, Spinall’s Palazzo, Peace Be Unto You, Fireboy’s Bandana and Terminator, which is currently Number One on the charts.

There is currently a running joke that if you want to have a number one song, beg Asake not to release any song in that period.

The Album: Mr Money With The Vibe

His debut album, MMWTV launched September 8, 2022, and in a few hours, it became the number one album in Nigeria.

Asake MMWTV album — **Itunes Albums Charts – Sep 8, 2022**

The 12-track LP features only 2 people – Russ and Burna Boy. At first listen, it is obvious that Asake was born ready for this industry and one can only marvel at his talent, work ethic and vibe.

Oludare Alaba, the graduate of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) who went viral a few days ago after he stormed the school to return his certificate and ask for a refund of his fees, has spoken up.

A video of Alaba throwing tantrums at the school reception as he returned his certificate and demanded that all the fees he paid be refunded to him recently went viral and caused a stir online. Read here.

Well, speaking in an interview, the LAUTECH graduate insisted that the certificate has not been useful to him.

According to him, he’s a talented entertainer and he’s confident that if he’s refunded and he diverts it to his entertainment career, he’ll be successful.

“I graduated from the department of Agricultural extension and rural development. What prompted me to return the certificate is that I collected it, it has not been useful to me.

I have been struggling with life and the only opportunity I have seen is for me to do blood money and I said I cannot do blood money because I want to be useful to Nigeria, my family and myself and God my creator.

I told my father to help me get some money. I am an entertainer. I even won an award during my NYSC days in 2016. My father said he cannot help me go and borrow money again because he borrowed some money to send me to school and he is yet to pay back and that he is supposed to be reaping the benefits from me now.

The day he said it to me I cried. When I got tired, I just decided to return the certificate to them since it is not useful to me and then they should give me my money. If I spend my money on my talent, I know I will be prosperous”. He said.

A young woman has recounted a horrific encounter with a monkey that snatched and left her phone completely destroyed in a zoo in Burundi.

The tourist, who had visited the zoo in company of her friends, enthusiastically walked up to the primate in its cage and drew near enough to have a better look at it.

Then, believing it to be food, the monkey took her phone and tried to devour it. In the now viral video, the woman just gazed hopelessly, as if she were still trying to understand what had happened.

The monkey later tossed out the iPhone X device, but it was already damaged beyond recognition.

Watch video below,

In related news, a woman was startled when an orangutan kissed and caressed her during a recent visit to a zoo.

Last week, while the woman was at Safari World in Bangkok, the cheeky animal fondled her breasts and even gave her a peck on the cheek as she tried to pose for a picture.

The primate was captured in a video that found its way to the internet groping her breasts and kissing her on the cheek as she tried to pose for a picture.

She was about to take a beautiful tourist photo while she was seated on a swing at the zoo when the cheeky monkey approached her from behind, pawing at her, touching her breasts, and making multiple attempts to peck her on the cheek.

The orangutan beams broadly as people photograph and record the encounter. Despite being startled, the woman laughs as the orangutan plays.

The Ooni of Ife, His Imperial Majesty Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, has reportedly concluded plans to take another bride.

This report comes barely 24 hours after the revered Yoruba monarch welcomed a new bride into the palace.

The Ooni of Ife’s latest queen, Mariam Anako, was ushered into the Ile-Ife Palace late Tuesday evening, September 6, after the completion of all necessary wedding rites permitted by tradition.

Following Anako’s arrival at the Ife Palace, a team of chiefs from the royal home in Osun State paid a visit to the family of another bride-to-be, Dr Elizabeth Opeoluwa Akinmuda, from the Magodo area of Lagos state. Leadership reports

A source at the palace who reportedly made the disclosure to the news platform said Akinmuda is a Scotland-based electronic data processor and a native of Ondo City in Ondo State.

Ooni of Ife welcomed Maria Anako to the palace months after Queen Naomi announced her separation from the monarch.

on Thursday, December 23, 2021, Naomi announced the end of her about three years marriage to the king. According to her, she tried her best to endure and make their marriage work, adding that she smiled through the struggle but now she’s done.

She also told her kinsmen not to associate her with the Ooni or Ife or call her the Queen of Ile-Ife any longer. However, the palace maintained that the royal couple are still married.

We killed our friend because he made more money from internet fraud and was always flaunting his wealth — 28-year-old suspect confesses

A suspected yahoo boy, Wahab Hammed, has been arrested by operatives of the Osun state police command in connection with the murder of his friend, one Oguntade Wasiu.

The 28-year-old suspect was paraded before journalists on Wednesday, September 7, and he confessed to conspiring with his friend, Adegoke Ayobami, 31, to murder the deceased because he was ‘cashing out’ from internet fraud more than the both of them.

He narrated how they lured him to a remote locating in the guise of showing him a piece of land and hacked him to death with a cutlass.

Speaking to newsmen, he said,

“I am a tailor by profession and I have a shop but I also operate motorcycle for additional income. I am from Modakeke in Adesiyan compound. I also engaged in Internet fraud but I have never hit any money.

Wasiu was a friend to Ayobami. I knew him through Ayobami and he was into Internet fraud. He has been into yahoo before our friendship more than a year ago.

I and Ayobami killed Wasiu because he was always telling us about his achievements, about how much money he was making from internet fraud and how he flaunted his successes like opening a shop for his wife, buying gold and many more. All these grieved my heart and made me envy him.

And I have always wanted to collect his money so that I can use it to cater for my need.

We killed him on August 8, 2022. We lured him to a new site because he came to me that he wanted to buy a piece of land. Ayobami and I took him to a site at Modakeke. After we inspected the land, on our way back, I was in front, Wasiu followed me and Ayobami was at the back. Ayobami held him at the jugular and while he was shouting he hacked him on the head with a cutlass.

We never had a plan to kill him but to collect money from him, but Ayobami eventually killed him. I went to report myself at the police station days later.”

The suspects will be charged to court after the police conclude their investigation.
