Singer, Yonda narrates how his song caused the rift between Burna Boy and Davido (video)

Nigerian singer, Yonda has said his song is the cause of the ongoing beef between superstar singers, Davido and Burna Boy.

In a recent interview with Ameyaw TV, the former DMW signee said that the genesis of the feud was when Davido took a song that was meant for the African giant.

According to Yonda, he wrote a song for Buna Boy but he slept on it and didn’t do anything with it, so Davido used the lyrics in a song which eventually became a hit.

He also revealed that on the day Davido released the said song, Burna Boy shaded him in a tweet, saying that OBO is great because he’s from a wealthy background and not because he’s good at what he does.

“I wrote that song to Buna first he slept on it and David took it from him. The thing is after I got signed to David Burna still f8cked with me. Burna slept on the song and David took the song from him, the day David dropped the song, Burna subbed him on twitter”, Yonda said.

Student beats teacher to death for flogging his younger sister in Delta

Student beats

A SS3 student of a private school in Abraka, Delta state, Michael Ogbeise, has reportedly beaten a teacher, Ezeugo Joseph, to death.

It was gathered that the unfortunate incident occurred on Thursday, December 2, after the teacher flogged his younger sister.

Student beats

The Spokesperson of the State Police Command, DSP Bright Edafe, who confirmed the incident, said the suspect attacked the teacher for beating his sister, Promise.

According to the PPRO, the suspect dealt the teacher a single blow and he collapsed immediately. He was later confirmed dead in a hospital.

His words, “The suspect confronted the teacher because he flogged his younger sister. He hit the teacher and the teacher collapsed. The teacher was rushed to the hospital where he was confirmed dead.”

DSP Edafe said the suspect is currently at large as he and his parents have fled their home, while the sister, Blessing, is currently in protective custody.

“They kicked him, matched his waist. He suffered liver enlargement due to congealed blood” — Father of late Dowen college student, Sylvester Oromoni, speaks

Sylvester Oromoni, the father of 12-year-old boy, Junior, who died after he was allegedly tortured by his fellow students for refusing to join a cult, have opened up about the incident.

Sylvester Oromoni speaks

Speaking with TheCable Lifestyle, Mr Sylvester disclosed that his son was repeatedly bullied by the accused students.

He said,

“My son suffered. The boys they mentioned were also reported to the school last term when they bullied Junior and collected all his foodstuffs; clothes. I have two daughters, one of whom earlier graduated. I had to remove the second after this incident. They asked this boy to describe the sister’s privates and this got to us.”

Sylvester Oromoni speaks

According to him, Dowen College temporarily suspended the boys involved and Junior was also taken to a new hostel, but the bullying and intimidation still continued into the new term.

“They put fear in him so much so that, when you ask him, he might keep to himself and say, ‘they will kll me’. I considered removing him but reconsidered since his sisters were still in the school.

Mr. Sylvester said he got to know about the new incident on November 21st, after the school called his wife to inform her that their son was in the school clinic, injured.

He added that his son couldn’t stand because his waist was bent and one side of his belly was swollen. His mouth was black and he couldn’t sleep at night.

The grieving father revealed that Junior told his mum that he didn’t play football, neither did he fall. Thus, countering the school’s claim that he got injured while playing football.

Speaking further, Mr Sylvester said, “They kicked him, matched his waist. Other students ran off. They threatened to kill them all if they spoke a word to the school staff. They warned Junior to say he sustained injuries while playing ball. They threatened him. If you ask the roommate, they’d all lie. They matched his ribs and waist. All that pain for a 12-year-old,” he said, trailing off into a soft sob over the phone.

Sylvester Oromoni speaks

He said Junior suffered liver enlargement due to congealed blood. It was also claimed that Junior was fed with a chemical-like liquid substance for refusing to join the cult.

“The parents of the boys are wealthy. They withdrew them. Some of the parents are planning to fly the children out of the country. The boys are five in number: four are in SS2 while one is in SS1,” he added.

The state police command is yet to comment on this development. Meanwhile academic activities in the school have been suspended for two days.

“Yes I do have a daughter and I had her through surrogacy. The Eggs are mine and so genetically she’s my blood.” – Actress, Ini Edo

Veteran Nollywood Actress, Ini Edo has opened up on her recent advent into motherhood and she revealed she conceived her bundle of joy through surrogacy.

She also reacted to the rumor of the baby’s alleged father as she said she opted for a donor for her and her baby’s peace of mind.

Read excerpts from her interview with Blogger Stella dimoko korkus

*******
– Ini, you recently allegedly welcomed a child through a surrogate mother. Can you confirm it and tell us why you chose this path? Please also tell us if you used your eggs as well.

*******
Wow! Here we go Stella.. Yes I do have a daughter and I had her through surrogacy. The Eggs are mine and so genetically she’s my blood.
I chose this path to fulfil my dream of becoming a mother.
I still have a good number of eggs frozen in case I decide to do surrogacy again or carry my baby myself .who knows.

******
-Tell us about your baby’s father.

****
I opted for a donor for me and my baby’s peace of mind. Another major reason I opted for a donor is because it scares me so much when I see banter and controversies between a mother and a father over a baby in public forums or when I see the man insisting he wants his child if things dont work out between both parties.. For me it’s the fear of what that would mean for the child .Ideally, its marriage then children but we are not living in an ideal world.

I am not someone who allows any situation to control me. I make lemonades out of lemons thrown my way and have no regrets. Life itself is so fragile and short to be striving for perfection. I am well and capable of taking care of my own child as I’ve been taking care of myself .I wanted a child and thank God for the options of surrogacy and donors…

*******

-Were you avoiding talking about her?

*****
No i was not, I was hoping to talk about her on her 1st birthday in a few months but mischief makers beat me to it and spoilt the beautiful story with lies. The sad thing about this is dragging an innocent man Into something that has absolutely nothing to do with him.

I relate with People who bring real value to my life .how many people can one possibly date? I have loads of Male friends, most of them, i am friends with their entire family including wives .

It is so sad that in Nigeria, when a ‘single’ woman is friends with a guy, it must mean to people that they are dating ..I mean make it make sense, Kome has been my friend for years and that’s what it is, period. He is a responsible family man and doesn’t deserve to be dragged into my motherhood story…… Anyone saying that he is the father of my daughter is a lie from the pit of hell.

-What is the process to surrogacy like?

Surrogacy process is quite expensive, and starts with the stimulation process ,egg retrieval and insemination on the chosen surrogate which in my case was all handled strictly by the hospital.

– How do you feel being a mother?

It is an awesome feeling and experience and as I watch my daughter grow every day, i am in awe of the miracles that God has sent my way and I am so thankful and grateful to be my daughters mother.

“I equally realized that being a single parent to a daughter in an unfamiliar footprint can be a major shift in human experience and a daunting journey as you need to help your child to navigate day to day social situations, complex feelings, and developmental changes that life prescribes.”

Countering his claim, Omolara in a statement released, said the monarch was never present in the child’s life, especially in the first 10 years. She said the only time the Ooni saw their child after her birth was at a wedding. Read here.

However, in a statement released to Punch, Omolara’s father, Oladapo Olatunbosun said the relationship between his family and that of the Ooni’s own is cordial and does not see the need to smear the reputation of the monarch’s family.

In his words ;

“I can vouch for the integrity of my noble friend, Baba Oba John Oluropo Ogunwusi, and Oònirìsà Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi Òjája, too.

As a man known for Yorùbá culture and traditions, I will always respect the stool of Oduduwa and Àrólé Oduduwa. I am not a bastard.

That noble family has never done anything wrong to my family to warrant arrogantly damaging their reputation in the mass media or the press. I am not a bastard.

Meanwhile, the child at the centre of it all is a 28-year-old adult, who is old enough to be a head of state, like General Yakubu Gowon.

Princess Adeola is still a spinster at the age of 28 years and would need peace of mind and not any public distraction from me or anybody else. Her happiness in life is more paramount now, for anybody who loves her and her progress in life.”

Poverty will multiply if Nigeria breaks up – Osinbajo

Nigerians react

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has said that poverty will increase in Nigeria breaks up.

Osinbajo said this while receiving a delegation of the Muhammadu Buhari Osinbajo (MBO) Dynamic Support Group at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Thursday December 2.

In his words ;

“We must never relent in ensuring that we keep to the ideals of the country and we don’t lose sight of what we are trying to achieve here.

“Mr President has always remained steadfast and focused on resolving the problems of the country beginning with security… he is a steady hand, he is unflappable, he is not panicky, he is focused and looking at the security issues every day, and trying to advance the best possible solutions.

“People who suggest that the country breaks up, whatever may be the reason for their views, are certainly not correct and we must say so to them at every turn.

“The unity of this country is important for all of the different ethnicities, religions, everybody. Whatever the group or ideology, unity is important for every one of us.

“For a country that is the largest economy in Africa and definitely going to be one of the largest economies in the world, to start thinking in terms of fragmenting itself. If you fragment, the problems are going to multiply, poverty will multiply.”
