Uduak Akpan, the suspected killer of 20-year-old undergraduate, Iniubong Umoren, has made a u-turn on his earlier confession as he pleads not guilty to the two-count charge of murder and rape levied against him.

The suspect appeared in court on Thursday, November 4, and changed his plea to “not guilty” after the prosecuting witnesses, Chairman of Uruan Local Government of the state, Surveyor Iniobong Ekpeyong and his cousin, Kufre Effiong, gave evidence in court.

Uduak’s father and second accused person, Frank Akpan, and his sister and third accused, Bassey Anwan Akpan, have also pleaded not guilty to the two-count charge of sheltering Uduak despite knowing he murdered Iniubong Umoren.

Meanwhile, the case has been adjourned to Monday, November 15, 2021, and the presiding judge, Justice Bassey Nkanang, promised to accelerate the court hearing with a view to pass judgement before Easter, 2022.

A woman, identified as Azeezat Yishawu, has called out a restaurant in Gwarimpa, Abuja, for sending her out because she was wearing hijab.

Her words,

“Good evening twitter fam. I was asked to leave a restaurant @CrushCafe_Abj at Gwarinpa because of the way I dressed. The security person in grey top and black trousers. Had searched my bag earlier before I went in.

I had used the rest home soon after I went in, sat down ordered for mock tail and waited to my acquaintance who had suggested the place. A few minutes after, the same young man who had searched my bag. Approached me to tell I wasn’t allowed sit.

He said People who dressed the way I do weren’t allowed here. I asked if this was a club and he said no! That because they sell alcohol. I do not understand this. One bit.

I was later informed by the person who had invited me, that my dressing was offending some of the customers. He said that there was a recent communal clash with shite in the community and my dressing was representative of that. I felt very embarrassed and confused.

I could have been asked to sit somewhere else, and told what the problem was, rather than saying my dressing was not welcomed. I had to take my things and wait on the road side for my acquaintance to come get me.”

The lady said the CEO of the restaurant, who is a Muslim, has reached out to her to apologize for the way she was treated in his cafe.

The CEO has also tendered an apology on social media, noting that the staff responsible for the mistreatment would be dealt with.

Singer BurnaBoy replies lady who called him out over his music

November 5, 2021

Grammy Award Nigerian Singer and African Giant, Burna Boy, has replied a lady who called him out over the type of message his music sends.

According to the lady, Burna Boy’s songs send the wrong message about Africa and it makes it seem as though people living in the continent live in the Jungle.

She wrote ;

Bruhh I hate it when African Artistes especially a Nigerian artiste uses the ‘Africans Suffering’ script/story for their own gain.

Burna does that shit and he needs to stop asap!

Stop making it look like we live in the Jungle, Stop Man!

This is what brings insults to our name & Pride fgs.

Other African/Nigerian artistes go out there and talk about the numerous and wonderful talents that come out of Africa and how Africa is one of the most beautiful continents ever, but as an Ape that you are, you want to make us look like we live in the forest.

Burna was not having none of that and he replied ;

First of all ain’t no “WE” You live in the UK and probably only come to Africa for holidays. You and anybody that thinks like you deserve the worst in life and the afterlife.

You think I need to sing about the truth of the African suffering to gain? Dumb bitch! it takes more away from me, my pockets and my family to sing the truth like I have always done. I would be way more comfortable and Richer if I didn’t sing the truth about my society. If I wasn’t the MAN I am or if I didn’t have so much integrity, I could have accepted the numerous Millions of dollars I’ve been and continue to be offered by African politicians.

FYI Nobody can make music about Girls, money, and bullshit better than me(I’ve proved this countless times) I just CHOsE to Speak my Truth and the truth about Africa.

So go and listen to one of the many great talents coming out of Africa and skip “BURNA BOY” if you can’t handle it. I’m FROM AFRICA! ME and my whole extended family LIVE IN AFRICA and it’s always on our minds that the RISK for the things I say and do gets bigger the bigger I get. FUCK SUFFERING and SMILING !

Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo has urged the youths not to be distracted by ‘yahoo boys’ because they will end up in jail.

He advised the youths to make efforts to access various programmes set up by the Federal Government and the Central Bank of Nigeria to support young entrepreneurs and other Nigerians.

The vice-president said this at the first convocation lecture of Kola Daisi University, in Ibadan, Oyo State, on Wednesday, November 3, the VP gave examples of many young Nigerians who have made it without cutting corners and urged the graduands and the youth to embrace integrity and character in order to excel in life.

In his words ;

”Don’t be distracted by the yahoo yahoo boys that are coming up one day with fancy cars. Their days are always numbered. They will go to jail one day. The point, of course, is that what is the point of making money when you can’t sleep well at night. All of the examples I’ve given, not one of them has wealthy parents. All of them did most, if not all, their education here in Nigeria.

So, it is important for us to bear in mind that a Nigerian education is an important credential because you understand the terrain and you understand the law of the land. But you must find out about the support that is available either from the private sector or public sector.”
