“Dating a 48-50 year old man that has never been married before is a red flag” – Pastor Shola Adeoye (video)
Nigerian pastor, Shola Adeoye has given a piece of advice to women dating a man approaching 50 and has never been married.
Speaking in a video shared on his Instagram page, the clergyman said dating a man who is 48 or 50 years old and has never been married before is a big red flag in itself.
However, if a woman decides to get married to such a man, they should both get proper counselling before the wedding to prevent issues in marriage.
According to him, it’s very important of them to be counseled because a man who has been single for that long would find it difficult to be fully committed in marriage.

The video has gotten people talking on social media with the buck of them expressing agreement with his statement.

Man who killed a 26-year-old lady and buried her in his room in Bayelsa recounts how he carried out the crime, gives reason for his action
A young Nigerian man, Joseph Fekala, who was arrested for killing a lady, Kate Oguoh, and burying her corpse in his room in Bayelsa state has narrated how he carried out the dastardly act.
Last week, Yabaleftonline reported that Joseph, said to be a suspected Yahoo boy, killed the 26-year-old lady in his apartment at the Okaka area of Yenagoa, Bayelsa State. ICYMI
The suspect was paraded before newsmen recently and he explained how and why he murdered the young lady.
According to him, Kate sought refuge in his two bedroom flat in February and had been staying with him since then, until he got a job in Port Harcourt and had to relocate but left her in his house.
In July, she transferred N50,000 to his bank account to help her trade in Forex with the intention of getting N20,000 interest monthly which he said wasn’t possible.
When he visited Bayelsa last week, he got into an argument with Kate over the money as he had squandered it and in the process choked her to death because he didn’t want her to raise alarm.
According to him, he is not a yahoo boy and he didn’t intend to use her for money ritual.
His words,
“We got into an argument over the N50,000 she sent to me for the suppose of forex trade she wanted to do. I tried to explain that I spent the money and will repay her but she angrily responded and pushed me. So I pushed her back and she fell on the bed, and since I knew she was going to raise alarm and our neighbours will hear her voice so I held her throat and closed her mouth, and choked her to death.”
Continuing, he said
“On the first of July I came to Bayelsa State to do some maintenance in the house because Kate met me in February that she needed a place to stay, based on the fact that the person she wanted to go stay with in Lagos didn’t work out, so she needed where to stay for four months.
So I gave her one of the rooms, and I was staying in the parlour, in a two-bedroom flat. I just got a job so I have to leave for Port Harcourt. I use to visit home to do some maintenance occasionally. So on the first of July when I came we met and as we were discussing, so she told me she wanted to trade forex since she knew some years back I used to trade for myself.
So I explained to her that the best I can do is teach her how to trade, and not trade for her because of the inconveniences in it. Later she left for her family house in Opolo and called me to send her my details, and she immediately sent me N50,000.
When I asked her the following day, she said she wanted me to trade for her, so I reminded her that I don’t want to be involved so she insisted, so I accepted.
So I asked her what she want from this thing and she said at least N20,000 every month, so I told her no institution or bank will offer that.
So I asked her to send her details so I can refund the cash, so later she started sending my colleagues at the office messages that I’m a scammer and criminal.
I tried chatting her up but she won’t want to listen, so I told her I will come to Bayelsa State since we can’t settle the issue on phone. So I came to Bayelsa this past Monday, I got home late at around 9 pm, and I met her inside and tried talking to her but she responded angrily back at me, I tried to calm her but she won’t agree.
I lay down to rest and she was still raising her voice at me for over 20 minutes so I slept off that day. The following day I decided to stay back for a few more days because I didn’t want to let it get to the hearing on my colleagues at work, and the chances of her doing that were high.
I came back on Thursday, and when she saw me, she was still angry. Then I pleaded with her that she should be patient with me, that I will raise the cash and refund her with interest when I get my paycheck, so she said even if she agrees it will be N20,000 interest. I declined that it was not up to one month and it won’t be possible, except at the end of August but she didn’t agree and she kept on talking and pushing me that she was going to deal with me through her aunty who is a police officer.
After I noticed she has given up, I went out to clear my head, as I was walking a thought came to me that I should just bury the body so everything will just pass. I borrowed a shovel around, I looked for the portion of the house that wasn’t too hard, so I dug it and left her inside the pit.
The fear of getting into trouble made me not report to the police. I’m not a yahoo boy and I didn’t kill her for rituals.
The following morning the mum came around and said she was looking for her daughter, and that was the first time I saw her, the daughter probably gave her the spare key to the house. She came the night before the incident but didn’t meet me.”

Veteran Nollywood actor, Kenneth Aguba, has finally explained why he is set on marrying a virgin from Israel.
It would be recalled that the Nollywood star who was recently rescued from the streets and given a home by popular clergyman and philanthropist, Apostle Chibuzor, raised eyebrows after he revealed the kind of woman he desires to marry, after the pastor promised to find him a wife and sponsor their wedding.

“They were to study engineering and medicine” – Father mourns his two teenage sons who were crushed to death by a truck on the same day in Delta.
A Nigerian man, identified as Wesley Anthony Ogheneruona Ojih, has been thrown into mourning following the deaths of his two teenage sons, who died in a motor accident on the same day.
Ojih’s sons, Favour Ogheneruona, 16, and Precious Ogheneruona, 14, were said to be on the same motorcycle when they had a fatal collision with a tipper lorry on the Owa-Okei Road, Owa, Delta State, which led to their deaths.
The unfortunate incident happened on May 24, 2022, and they were laid to rest in their hometown after a funeral service at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, Agbor, on Thursday, July 21, 2022.
The father of five, in an interview with Ika Weekly Newspaper, revealed that his first son was looking forward to studying engineering, while the second hoped to become a medical doctor before the age of 22.
“I had a total of five sons until I lost my first two sons, Precious and Favour Ogheneruona, to death; who had concluded their May/June WAEC examination and just started the NECO examination. They have only written Marketing and Physics Practical before the ugly incident that occurred on the 24th, of May 2022.
“On that fateful day, they had no examination to write, so they decided to join their mother, my wife, and me on the farm at Otolokpo and by 1 pm, to go back to Agbor for their NECO thumbprinting. It was on their way back, between Owa Ekei and Owa Alero, that a big truck (tipper) crushed them to death.
“Their death was a huge loss to us, as my first son was already anticipating studying Engineering, while the second one to become a medical doctor, before the age of twenty-two.
“We loved our children so much; they were very obedient and are committed to our well-being of the family, even at their young age. They were working for us because they were envisaging that as they are working for us, we the parents will in turn would use those resources to send them to the University
“The Bible said we should give God thanks in every situation of life, actually, it is better they died that way than becoming a nuisance to society and source of burden to us because the impact of the accident on them was tremendous.” He said.

Viral Akwa Ibom boy reunites with his father six years after he was branded a witch and left to starve to death
The malnourished 2-year-old boy who was rescued by a Danish aid worker, Anja Ringgren Lovén, in January 2016 after he was branded a witch by his family and left to starve to death has reunited with his father.
It would be recalled that a picture of the little boy, Hope, being fed water by Lovén went viral on the internet in 2016, and it was discovered that he was abandoned and left to wander the streets of Akwa Ibom after being accused of being a witch by his family.
However, he was rescued by the Danish woman and her husband, David Emmanuel Umem, and taken to the Children’s Education and Development Foundation (ACAEDF) a.k.a “Land of Hope”.
Fast forward to this year, Lovén took the young champ to his village in Akwa Ibom to know his roots and there he met his father again for the first time in six years.
Taking to her Facebook page on Monday, August 1, the aid worker shared pictures of Hope posing with his father and her son, David Jnr.
She however noted that Hope would never stay with his father or mother again but it’s sacrosanct for him to know his story and where he comes from.
Read her post below:
“For more than 6 years of searching we have finally found Hope´s father !!! A few days ago Land of Hope Director of Child Development Nsidibe Orok and I took Hope on home visit. We want the villagers to witness Hope´s amazing transformation
The last time we took Hope back to his village was in 2018 where we held a conference about superstition in the city hall for the entire community.
This time Hope was excited to be back because he understands more and much to our surprise we suddenly stood face to face with his uncle, the brother to his mother !!
In 2016 when we rescued Hope, the uncle was working in another state so he was not around. He also told us that Hope´s father was back in the village after being away for years.
Suddenly we were on our way to Hope´s father´s house. It was very surreal. The uncle told us that Hope looked a lot like his father and it was true. The resemblance was striking.
Hope´s parents are divorced. Due to safety reasons and legality I cannot go into details. But I will say this, Hope´s father was very surprised to see his son again. And Hope just kept staring at him. David Jr. was there too. He was so caring and with hand signs he kept telling Hope that everything was fine.
When we came back to the Land of Hope, Hope took my phone and was so excited to show the children the pictures of him and his father. Exactly like all the other children do when they come back from home visit.
Hope is not going to live with his father or mother for many reasons. But no matter what has happened in the past, children need to know their roots. Children need to know where they come from because it helps shape their identity.
Hope has the right to have an identity. Having an identity is a fundamental human right. For Hope to know more about his cultural background and where he comes from will help him to develop a strong sense of who he really is.
For Hope to know where he comes from does not mean that he will ever forget what happened, on the contrary, it will set him free and take him to a more powerful place in his life.”

Nigerian mother with a newborn baby reports her husband to NDLEA for dealing drugs
A lady has taken to Twitter to narrate how a mother with a newborn baby reported her husband to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) for dealing drugs.
According to @Boluxxxx on Twitter, when NDLEA officials came to search the couple’s house, they found cocaine underneath the bathtub.
She said the woman in question is her friend’s neighbor and she moved into the compound with her husband few months ago.
However, the husband’s dealings were quite suspicious because people used to come with different cars to visit him before he was reported to the NDLEA by his wife.
Her words,
“NDLEA came to carry my friend’s neighbor’s husband. Apparently na the wife report am. They sha found cocaine under the bathtub. He was dealing. And they have a newborn.
You see this our country as it is? We deserve it. We are us, we are our leaders. That’s us.
I feel the need to throw more light on this based on how the conversation is going.
1. The couple have just been a few months in their compound.
2. I said my friend’s neighbor’s husband because the landlord tried to eject the wife immediately after but she begged cos baby, etc
So it’s her house now.
3. Convo came up cos the light tripped and my friend sent her help to go check if the fuse was fixed in properly. She’s like “don’t pass behind that woman’s house(the wife) before she says you’re peeping in. I’m like why? She’s like the woman is paranoid.
Clearly because of the issue.
4.The security man attested that since they moved in different cars go by the house and they wondered why. He’ll later try to recruit the security man(another long story)as a dealer because he’s a dealer dealer.
What we both agreed on is that she probably knew before they got married because they clearly dated so something else must have prompted her reporting. Ps; it happened a little while back but my friend told me yesterday
Lastly, I’m shook at the conversation being about the wife than drug dealing because honestly that was the primary thing that caught my attention. Where we had smoke for her was proceeding to date, marry and eventually snitch on a drug dealer. Not like we know their dynamics so”

Update: Judge remands man who beat Nigerian migrant to death in Italy, family claims he has history of “mental health problems” (video)
A judge in Macerata has ordered that the Italian man, Filippo Claudio Giuseppe Ferlazzo, who beat a Nigerian migrant to death in Italy, must remain in jail.
It was earlier reported that Alika Ogochukwu, a 39-year-old Italy-based Nigerian man, was attacked and beaten to death by Filippo on the streets of Civitanova Marche, a city located in the Province of Macerata, in the Marche Region of Italy, after he complimented his partner’s beauty.
The footage from the attack showed how the suspect, Ferlazzo, hit and choked Alika while people stood by and watched.
Ferlazzo’s lawyer, Roberta Bizzarri, said during Monday’s hearing her client cooperated with investigators, apologized for what happened, and had “clarified” that racism was not the motive.
Macerata prosecutors have also charged Ferlazzo with homicide and robbery, as he also allegedly took Alika’s phone after killing him, but racism was not cited as an aggravating factor.
However, Ferlazzo’s family said he had a history of mental health problems, which had led to his mother being assigned as his legal guardian by a court, ANSA Italy reports.
“Why wasn’t he being monitored even though he had a guardian?” said Francesco Mantella, the lawyer representing the deceased’s family.
“Apologies are not enough,” Alika’s family said via the lawyer. “What is needed now is justice, not vendetta. It’s difficult to understand what happened.”
Patrick Guobadia of the Nigerians in Italy association said that “if it had been two Italians, things would have turned out differently – someone would have intervened to separate them.”
The street vendor who passed away is survived by his wife and kid, who is eight years old. Also, he provided for a 10-year-old girl who lived with his family but was not a daughter.
The local council has, however, set up a fund of 15,000 euros to help the victim’s family.

“Following extensive deliberations and taking cognisance of Government’s past failures to abide by its own timelines in addressing issues raised in the 2020 FGN/ASUU Memorandum of Action (MOA), NEC resolved that the strike be rolled over for four weeks to give Government more time to satisfactorily resolve all the outstanding issues. The roll-over strike action is with effect from 12.01 am on Monday, 1st August 2022.
“An emergency meeting of the National Executive Council of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) held at the Comrade Festus Iyayi National Secretariat, University of Abuja, Abuja, on Sunday, 31st July 2022. The meeting was called to review developments since NEC’s resolution to extend its roll-over strike action by another 12 weeks with effect from May 2022.
“The NEC meeting took place against the backdrop of government’s obligations as spelled out in the Memorandum of Action (MOA) it signed with ASUU on 23rd December 2020. Specifically, NEC recalled the government’s failure to conclude the process of renegotiating the 2009 FGN/ASUU Agreement, deploy the University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS), pay outstanding arrears of Earned Academic Allowances (EAA), release the agreed to sum of money for the revitalization of public universities (Federal and States), address proliferation and governance issues in State Universities, settle promotion arrears, release withheld salaries of academics, and pay outstanding third-party deductions led to the initial declaration of the roll-over strike on 14th February 2022.
“NEC appreciated the historic nationwide protest of 26th and 27th July 2022 organised by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in collaboration with Civil Society Organisations (CSO) to further create awareness on the antics of the Nigerian ruling class to destroy public education. ASUU renews its commitment to the struggles of NLC in championing the cause of the working and suffering Nigerians.
“NEC viewed with seriousness the recent directive given by the President and Visitor to all Federal Universities that the Minister of Education, in consultation with other government officials, should resolve the lingering crisis and report to him within two weeks. The Union wonders why it had taken five full months and needless muscle-flexing for government to come to the realisation of the need for honest engagement.
“NEC acknowledged the growing understanding of the issues and the groundswell of support for the Union’s principled demand for globally competitive university education in Nigeria. Nigerian universities must not be reduced to constituency projects that merely exist on paper and our scholars must be incentivised to stay back and do what they know best, here in Nigeria.
“NEC observed that non-signing of the draft renegotiated 2009 FGN-ASUU Agreement more than one month after it was concluded by Professor Nimi Briggs-led Committee is further tasking the patience of ASUU members nationwide.
“NEC further observed that the ongoing trial of the suspended Accountant-General of the Federation (AGF), Mr Ahmed Idris, on allegation of monumental fraud has vindicated ASUU’s rejection of the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information (IPPIS). The National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) is enjoined to release reports of the latest tests on the University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS) vis-a-vis IPPIS without further delay. ASUU shall resist any attempt to truncate the deployment of UTAS with all legitimate means available to the Union.
“NEC noted that cumulative indifference by the political class gave vent to a pervasive atmosphere of insecurity which now threatens the seamless provision of educational services in the country. The unceremonious closure of educational institutions in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), following the recent attack on Presidential Guards, betrays a panicky measure to addressing a malignant ailment. Nothing short of a comprehensive overhaul of the security architecture of the country will sustainably address the problem.”
Man shares experience with friend who relocated abroad days after they met up for a drink without informing him
A Nigerian Twitter user has shared his experience with a close friend of over 16 years who relocated abroad without informing him.
According to the Twitter user identified as @Nsukka_Okpa, he and the friend met up for a drink a few days before his departure, and they spoke about different things, but he never mentioned he was leaving the country.
Wondering why Nigerians keep their relocation plans a secret, he said the friend called him after relocating and told him that he didn’t tell anyone except his father because he didn’t want to take any chances.
“What is it with Nigerians and travelling abroad without telling any of their friends? Two weeks after they settle in, them go come call you.
Person wey I follow drink beer on Thursday, Don relocate to Germany today. We spent hours talking about beer and never did this werey mention he’s leaving the country. This morning, foreign number dey call me. I think say na scammers, so I no pick.

This na friendship of over 16 years oh”, he wrote on Twitter.

$100,000 ransom: “Some actors paint the wrong picture on social media all the time” – Actress, Hilda Dokubo reacts to the abduction of her colleagues
Veteran Nollywood actress, Hilda Dokubo has reacted after the abductors of her colleagues, Cynthia Okereke and Clemson Cornel, aka Agbogidi, demanded for the sum of $100,000 as ransom to secure their release.
Taking to her Instastory on Sunday, July 31st, the 52-year-old actress wondered where the kidnappers expect them to get the money from.
She said they clearly misjudged the financial status of the actors they kidnapped because she has worked with them in the past and they are barely getting by.
She added that though some actors put up a lavish front on social media, that’s not their reality.
Her words,
“Nollywood is about moving from one level of begging for alms to save an ill or dying colleague to now facing the worse of fears over two of their colleagues facing God knows what in the hands of kidnappers!
Where will we turn if not the public using our social media platforms!
Well…Finally the kidnappers have made their demands. They want money! 100k USdollars! From where?
Unfortunately they misjudged the financial status of the actors they kidnapped! And think that as it is in the movies that is how it is in real life. What a life!
Where will we get one hundred thousand USdollars from? God save all of us from this pain and give us your grace for this period.
I know some actors paint the wrong picture on social media all the time but it is only in line with the “Show” part of SHOWbiz. Hopefully you’ll understand what I mean.
I am pained because I know this two personally, have worked with them and I know the truth of how it is with them.
Just been asking myself one question all day, How much does an average actor make in Nigeria?”

Actress, Lizzy Gold reveals one of the reasons why Nollywood actors are being kidnapped
Popular Nollywood actress, Lizzy Gold has revealed one of the reasons why Nollywood actors are being abducted by kidnappers.
Her post comes after two veteran actors, Clemson Cornel and Cynthia Okereke, were abducted while filming in Enugu over the weekend.
They were reported missing by their family members after they didn’t return home from a movie location at Ozalla Town, Enugu State.
Meanwhile, the kidnappers have made contact with the families and are now demanding for the sum of $100,000 to secure their release.
Following the incident, Lizzy took to her Instagram page to assert that Nollywood actors have become the target of kidnappers because they believe actors are rich due to the purported net worth of Nollywood stars published on the internet.
She shared a screenshot of her biography published online where it was claimed that she’s worth $400,000 (over N160 million), and said those kind of posts gives kidnappers the notion that actors are wealthy.
Lizzy wrote,
“This is one of the reasons actors are been kidnapped ..they think we are so rich …I need to arrest the person behind this lies…
I am working hard to be wealthy but am currently not close to any of that amount mentioned there… I nor get money ooo I be hustler ooo …I Dey even find who go dash me money …pls do not believe anything you read on the internet…”

I suspect that the gas plant beside Mary Mount College Agbor might be the cause of this seizure, the doctors are pointing out Chemical poisoning. 😭😭🥺🥺 This is heartbreaking to watch your child jerking non stop. I hope the government of Delta state will do something.
Ifeanyi Okowa the last time I checked you’re still the governor of Delta state, you’re a medical doctor, Mary Mount college is in your hometown Agbor, go and look into what’s happening there. 12 girls are down with constant seizure, one have died, others in critical condition.

SAD! Soldier killed by terrorists in Abuja four days after his mother was murdered by suspected herdsmen in Benue
A Nigerian soldier, identified as Daniel Odih, has been killed by Boko Haram terrorists in Abuja just four days after his mother was murdered in Benue State.
Daniel was one of the soldiers killed during an attack on a military checkpoint near Zuma Rock on Thursday night, July 28.
It was gathered that the terrorists arrived Zuma Rock around 8:30pm and opened fire from different angles at the soldiers stationed at the checkpoint between Abuja and Niger State. Sadly, Daniel was one of the victims of the attack.
Writing in his tribute to the slain soldier, one Clement Excel said the deceased’s mother was killed by suspected herdsmen on her farm in Benue state on Monday, July 25.
He wrote,
“DOUBLE TRAGEDY BEFALL THE FAMILY OF LATE MR. SIMON ODIH OF OTUKPA. On Monday 25th July, 2022. His mother was gruesomely murdered in coldblooded by yet unidentified assailant right in her farm at Adumu Otukpa.
“Community and sympathies were thrown into mourning to unravel circumstances and perpetrators of the dastardly act.
“Tars flowed, hearts rended and bleed. Yet, Officer Daniel Odih could not had the opporturnity to mourn his MOTHER. Silently, he nurturned the brunt all alone. Hmmmm! As a brave soldier, He maintained his oath of office to defend his nation by whatever circumstances.
“Gallantly, he moved on dutifully in line of defence untill he paid the SUPREME PRICE for his NATION on 28th July, 2022 along Madala Zuba road at FCT, Abuja.
“OFFICER DANIEAL ODIH. Am in short of wods to express the vaccum you and your mother had created in the family. Both of you sunddenly left the world in a more tragic manner four days to each other.

NYSC mourns corps member murdered on her way to orientation camp in Ogun
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has mourned a corps member, Eunice Chioma Igweike, who was reportedly killed on her way to the orientation camp in Sagamu, Ogun State.
The deceased, a 2022 Batch B corps member, had left her house on Wednesday, July 20, 2022, for the three-week orientation course at the Ogun State NYSC camp, when she was abducted. She was found dead with vital parts of her body missing on Thursday, July 21, 2022.
The NYSC Director (Press and Public Relations), Eddy Megwa, stated in a statement on Saturday, July 30, that security agencies have launched an investigation into Igweike’s death.
The statement read,
“The attention of the NYSC management has been drawn to an online publication with the above caption making the rounds in the social media. To put the issues raised in proper perspective, the scheme indeed lost a prospective corps member by name, Miss Eunice Chioma Igweike, who set out for NYSC permanent orientation camp, Sagamu, Ogun State, having been deployed to the state for the national service under the 2022 Batch B service year
“A call by her elder brother to the NYSC on July 20, 2022 reporting that he had not been able to reach her sister on phone since her departure to NYSC Ogun camp from Aba, Abia State, prompted the scheme to contact the security agencies to know her whereabouts
“Sadly, on Thursday, July 21 2022, her remains which were intact, and not mutilated as reported in the media, were recovered along Sagamu-Imota Road and deposited in the morgue.
“The NYSC feels highly diminished by the death of Eunice Chioma Igweike, a promising young Nigerian that would have been a great ambassador of her family, contributing her quota to nation building. The Director-General NYSC, Brigadier General Mohammed Fadah, management and the entire members of NYSC family commiserate with Igweike Family on the demise of the young lady”.
