Maybe we should get guns instead of PVC – Singer Ruger

Rising Nigerian singer, Ruger has reacted to the gunmen attack at a Catholic Church in Owo, Ondo state, which led to the death of many worshippers.

The singer took to his social media page and he suggested that maybe Nigerians should get guns instead of PVC following the widespread insecurity across the country.

His tweet reads;

Maybe we should get guns instead of this fucking PVC. To hell with this country.

Meanwhile Prof Banji Akintoye, leader of Ilana Omo Oodua Worldwide has condemned the attack, saying such can’t happen again.

Below is a statement that was released shortly after the attack ;

“We have stated it very expressly that the Yoruba people need to negotiate their exit from Nigeria as a matter of urgency, but our partisan political actors in Yorubaland never took us serious. We warned them that there’s fire on the mountain, but we were mocked because of their personal aggrandisement.

“Today, we have all been encircled, most especially, in Lagos. For herdsmen to have the effrontery of bombarding a church in Yorubaland to kill some people, shows that we are now in a realistic danger.

“My urgent advice to Governor Akeredolu is to pick up the gauntlet and declare an emergency against the activities of all Fulani herdsmen in the state with immediate effect. We have now been taken for granted. We need not pretend anymore. We must demand unanimously, an exit from Nigeria.

“We, the Yoruba people, cannot live in the same country with characters whose idea of common citizenship in Nigeria is to brutalise, subjugate and even exterminate us. It is time to leave these characters now. All stakeholders – the elites, traditional rulers, our women should act now.

“All the South-West states, including the Yoruba leaders in Kogi and Kwara states should equally declare an emergency against the activities of Fulani herdsmen. We must now take our destinies into our hands,”

The armed men who invaded the church in Governor Rotimi Akeredolu’s country home in Volkswagen Golf 4, struck around 11:15 am at the peak of the service, shot sporadically into the church while some of them stationed themselves at the entrance of the church to prevent the people from escaping from the church.

I am deeply saddened by the unprovoked attack and killing of innocent people of Owo, worshiping at the St. Francis Catholic Church, Today.

The vile & satanic attack is a calculated assault on the peace-loving people of Owo Kingdom who have enjoyed relative peace over the years.

It is a black Sunday in Owo. Our hearts are heavy. Our peace and tranquility have been attacked by the enemies of the people. This is a personal loss, an attack on our dear state.

I have spoken to the Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Ondo, Most Reverend Jude Arogundade, who is presently on his way to Owo. Similarly, I have had to cut short my party’s national assignment in Abuja and visit Owo immediately.

This is an unexpected development. I am shocked to say the least. Nevertheless, We shall commit every available resource to hunt down these assailants and make them pay. We shall never bow to the machinations of heartless elements in our resolves to rid our state of criminals.

I commiserate with my people in Owo, particularly families of the those who lost their lives to this ugly and unfortunate attack.

I extend my condolences to Olowo of Owo, Oba Gbadegesin Ogunoye as well as the Catholic Church.

I urge our people to remain calm and vigilant. Do not take laws into your hands. I have spoken to the heads of the security agencies. I have equally been assured that security operatives would be deployed to monitor and restore normalcy to Owo kingdom.

“Irresponsible parenting” – Governor Okowa’s aide, Ossai, blasts Davido’s lawyer, Bobo Ajudua

Davido’s Lawyer, Bobo Ajudua has come under serious fire from Nigerians after he shared a video of himself having a good time with his son.

Nigerians particularly frowned at the fact that he was puffing smoke from a shisha pipe and his son seemingly assisted him in the process.

An Aide to Governor Okowa, Ossai Ovie Success has taken to his page to lambaste the lawyer who he described as an irresponsible father.

Ossai’s post reads ;

He is an irresponsible father.

I heard this is Davido’s lawyer, Bobo Ajudua with his son in the club.

He is disgrace to the law profession and should be sanctioned.

Well, being a lawyer doesn’t qualified you to be a responsible father.

No responsible father will ever do this in the presence of his son.

Some fathers have lost morality.

Look at the video very well and you will see the point where the child wanted to emulate the father’s irresponsible act.

This is sad.

The mother should please take full custody of the child to avoid more harm since the father is showing act of irresponsibility.

“My closest cousin, the closest thing I have to a sibling, has officially confirmed I won’t be her maid of honour cos I’m just too fat for a maid of honour role. Have to lose some weight before December or no maid of honour duties for me. I shan’t be attending the wedding” she tweeted on Sunday, June 5.

She also accused her family of bullying her due to her weight.

She wrote;

“These people who are supposed to be my people have bullied me all my life for genes I have absolutely no control over. If not for strong self-will, I’d loathe my body. Each time I eat, I stress over how much I’m eating, over how much I gain just from eating. Hei mbanu!”

”I just could not let this wonderful woman leave my life”- Yul Edochie speaks again on why he married a second wife (video)

Yul Edochie speaks

Popular actor, Yul Edochie has once again spoken on his controversial marriage to his colleague, actress Judy Moghalu, but this time he explained why he chose to marry her as his second wife.

It would be recalled that the actor announced his marriage to the thespian and revealed that they’ve welcomed a son together.

However, this sparked outrage online as netizens dragged him for getting married to a second wife. His first wife, May, also took to the comment section and wrote, “May God judge you both”.

 Yul Edochie speaks

Well, in a new development, Yul has released a 9-minute video titled “Why I married a second wife” to give reasons for his actions.

According to him, he couldn’t let a great woman like Judy go after the impact she has had on his life.

Speaking further, the 40-year-old actor said he used to believe that a man can’t love two women at the same time until it happened to him.

His words,

“I decided to say why today. I used to hear from so many people that a man cannot love two women at the same time. I have heard it a couple of times that a man cannot love two women at the same time. I am one of those people who believed it before. I know alot of people believe it as well that a man cannot love two women. I used to believe it as well until it happened to me. I realized that never say never.

No matter how old you are in this world, we are all young. We are still learning. Things can happen and you learn from certain things.

At this stage in my life, I think it is possible for a man to actually love two women because two women can be in your life and they bring two different things to the table. They reason in different ways, they contribute differently to your life and you just realise that is just the way it is.

Someone can’t come into your life and the person makes so much impact in your life and you just don’t want to let this person go and can’t let this person go. Of course, a lot of people would say, as a married man, why did you allow another woman to come into your life. Yes we can say it is wrong, I take the blame for that but these things happen. Let’s be honest.

It happened to me. I realized I just could not let this wonderful woman leave my life.

Make no mistakes about it. These are very wonderful women in their own rights. They bring different things to the table. Yes you can actually love two women at the same time.”

The late gospel singer, popular for her “Ekweme” hit track, died on Friday, April 8th after she was allegedly in a coma for five days prior to her death. Close relatives, friends, and children of the deceased all alleged that her husband, Peter, subjected her to domestic violence.

However, in a video serving the rounds online Peter noted that he’s being wrongfully accused.

“Let me tell the whole world, I have suffered a lot. I have been abandoned. What killed my wife was cancer of the lungs; I didn’t hit my wife. Cancer of the lungs killed my wife, Osinachi Nwachukwu, so I’m suffering for what I do not know”. The-father-of-four said.

Nwachukwu was arraigned before the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory on a 23-count charge that bordered on culpable homicide Friday, June 3, although he pleaded not guilty to the charge against him, Justice Njideka Nwosu-Iheme, in a short ruling, ordered his remand at the Kuje Correctional Centre, while his trial was adjourned to June 16 at 12 pm and June 17 at 9 am.

Video of Tinubu saying Buhari wouldn’t have been president without him confirms his power lust – Media personality, Fola Folayan (WATCH)

Tinubu saying

Media personality, Fola Folayan has reacted to a video of presidential hopeful, Bola Tinubu saying Buhari wouldn’t have been president without him.

The APC chieftain stated this while addressing Ogun APC delegates ahead of the party’s presidential primaries.

In the trending video, Tinubu said he encouraged Buhari to run for presidency in 2015 after he contested multiple times and lost, adding that he assured him that he would win the election and he eventually won because of his backing.

Tinubu added that it is now his turn to become the President of Nigeria.

His words,

“If not me that led the war front, Buhari wouldn’t have emerged. He contested first, second and third times, but lost. He even said on television that he won’t contest again.

“But I went to his home in Katsina. I told him you would contest and win, but you won’t joke with the matters of the Yorubas. Since he has emerged I have not been appointed minister. I didn’t get contract.

“This time, it’s Yoruba turn and in Yorubaland, it’s my tenure.”

Reacting to the now-viral video, Fola stated that this confirms the general opinion that Tinubu’s presidential bid is fueled by his power lust, and not because he has the best interest of the country at heart.

She tweeted;

“That video just confirmed what we’ve always known about Tinubu’s presidential bid; it’s about him and his power lust. It has nothing to do with Nigeria’s progress. That’s why all he has to say is “emi lol kan”. “It’s my turn”.

Expressing gratitude to God for saving her, she wrote,

“Today marks 10years since the ill fated Dana Air Flight took off from Abuja to Lagos.. 3rd June, 2012 Flight 0992 No one survived…I was to be on that flight. I arrived the airport in Abuja late.. Anyone who knows me, knows I am never late, for anything… MERCY said no that day..

“For His goodness and mercy shall follow me, all the days of my life.. Not that I am worthy but He kept me from the claws of death that day.. It is important to tell of God’s goodness, it will help someone out there. It will remind you of how You are the apple of His eye and it will keep you grateful..
Keep you grounded..

May the souls of all the departed continue to rest in peace 🙏 🕊. Amen Have a blessed weekend my lovelies 💖”.

“I am not an emperor by any chance and this is not my family’s inheritance” – Governor Dapo Abiodun reacts after Tinubu claimed he made him Governor

Governor Dapo Abiodun reacts

Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun has reacted after presidential aspirant, Bola Tinubu, bragged about making him governor.

Tinubu had stated this while addressing delegates of the All Progressives Congress in Ogun state on Thursday, June 2.

According to him, Abiodun would not have emerged as APC’s candidate during the gubernatorial primaries in 2019 if not for his intervention.

Governor Dapo Abiodun reacts

He said,

“That one (referring to Abiodun) that is sitting down here, could he have become governor without me? We were all in the stadium where they tore all the posters. Even the candidacy of the party, they didn’t want to give it to him.

“It’s been over 25 years that I have been serving them. This one sitting at my back, Dapo, could he have become a governor if not for me.”

In an apparent reaction to Tinubu’s jab, Abiodun took to Twitter today, June 3, to say that he is not an emperor and the Governorship office is not his family’s inheritance.

The tweet read;

I am not an emperor by any chance and this is not my family inheritance. I am holding this position in trust for all the people of this state and I have vowed to be fair, just and equitable and this is the solemn agreement I made between the Almighty God and myself.
