“Actress Nuella Njubigbo didn’t buy herself a car, it was a gift” – Belinda Effah

Nollywood Actress, Grace Charis Bassey, has cleared the air on the brand-new car her colleague, Nuella Njubigbo.

Recall that the acquisition of her exotic whip comes just days after she allegedly dumped her actor husband, Tchidi Chikere in a rather sad marriage scandal that made rounds on social media.

It was initially misconstrued that she bought the car herself, but Grace has now clarified that it was actually a gift from “somebody”.

She wrote ;

So to clear the air , @nuella_njubigbo didn’t buy herself a car. She got gifted a brand new car just like that. Please be happy for her so God can also do it for you.

@nuella_njubigbo is my friend and she is a hardworking virtuous woman and I must say she deserves this gift .

For naysayers who can’t wait to attach good gift to negative, May you meet with your Waterloo since you can’t rejoice with people , may nothing good come to you amen .

I am so happy for you @nuella_njubigbo you deserve this and more. God continually bless you . Much love ❤️

“Corps members can be trained for war” – NYSC DG says

The Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps, Brig. Gen Shuaibu Ibrahim, has said corps members can be quickly trained in the time of war because they are part of the national defence policy.

The NYSC boss said this when he appeared on Channels TV in his reaction to plans by some lawmakers to scrap the NYSC scheme which is compulsory for all Nigerian students who graduate before the age of 30.

The DG said;

“Corps members are on reserve. They are part of the national defence policy of this country. So, where there is serious war, our corps members are educated, they are knowledgeable and they can be trained. You see the drill and so on.

“You can imagine within the short three weeks in the orientation camps, the corps members are moulded. They are like soldiers. You see female corps members blowing the army horn, playing with the military band.

“So, if not for the knowledge, where are you going to mobilise such young Nigerians to train them quickly to put in their best for the country? So, corps members are on reserve. They are also part of the national defence policy.”

Rapper, Lil Uzi finally removes $24 million pink diamond from his forehead after tweeting “If I don’t remove it, I could die”

American rapper, Lil Uzi Vert, has finally removed the 11-carat pink diamond reportedly worth $24 million encrusted on his forehead.

It can be recalled that the rapper made headlines in February after he revealed he got a custom diamond implanted in his head, after saving up for it for years.

However, barely a day after showing off the diamond implant, he revealed he started bleeding from the fresh piercing and hinted that he might get the diamond removed from his forehead.

It seem the rapper has finally gotten rid of the pink diamond on his forehead as recent photos and video of him that surfaced on the internet are without the custom piece.

Uzi’s girlfriend JT, also shared a loved-up video of her and the rapper on her Insta-stories and the diamond was also missing.

Similarly, the rapper recently shared photos of himself in a City Girls “Twerkulator” T-shirt and this time the diamond was also not there.

“Right now, it is a land flowing with bitterness and sadness. That is not what God wants this country to be.

“By removing our President’s speech, Twitter needs to shutdown from Nigerian internet space” – Adamu Garba

Former Presidential candidate, Adamu Garba has asked that Twitter be banned from Nigerian internet space for deleting President Buhari’s tweet.

On Wednesday June 2nd Twitter deleted President Buhari’s tweet where he made reference to the 1966 Civil war.

Adamu who took to the micro-blogging platform to speak about Twitter’s decision to delete the president’s speech, stated that the social media giant should be banned from Nigeria’s internet space.

According to him, Twitter has no right to infuse into Nigeria’s local political affairs, hence the need to shut it down from the country’s internet space.

In his words,

“Twitter has no right to infuse into our local political affairs. It’s a company not a government. By removing our democratically elected President’s speech to the people of Nigeria, Twitter need to shutdown from Nigerian internet space. Twitter need to get out of Nigeria.”

This is coming after the Federal Government accused the American Social networking company, Twitter for alleged double standards on issues concerning Nigeria’s domestic issues.

According to the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, Twitter’s role on issues concerning Nigeria is suspicious and Nigeria would not be fooled.

According to her, her ex-lover named Ibrahim, lured her and her child out to a fancy restaurant, physically assaulted her till she fainted, then forcefully took her baby away from her.

Man accused of luring

She said the case has already been reported to the police but she claims the police are on his side because he has “millions to spend on them”.

Man accused of luring

Read her full story below,

“I am dania ebunoluwa, a graduate of EKITI STATE UNIVERSITY and also a young business owner. I met Ibrahim Oladipo in 2018 which he asked me out on dating him and I agreed. On the long run I got pregnant and I told him and his mother but they didn’t accept the child and asked me to abort the baby.

So On the long run while I was pregnant I met mr Lekan and I told him that I was pregnant and he accepted and he did introduction. After 5months of giving birth to the baby girl called DAVINA, Ibrahim oladipo insisted on carrying out a DNA which came out positive. Before and after the birth of the baby my family which is my father, mum and fiancé took all responsibilities of the child. They paid all necessary bills and took perfect care of her.

While my father who is a retired commander in the navy was planning my wedding with my fiancé which was suppose to hold on the 4th of may 2020, Ibrahim came to our house to show interest in getting married to me, he insisted that I was the one he wanted to marry me, so my dad had to put the wedding with the my fiance on hold. My dad asked him to come with his family to collect the engagement list. He didn’t come back for the list but after 2 months he called my Both parents he wasn’t interested in the marriage because we are not compatible ,which is not even true , the main reason why he ended the relationship with me was because he has impregnated another lady .

After all this happened on the 16th of May 2020 Ibrahim oladipo tricked me over to a restaurant called king fisher located in LEKKI phase 1, he was there in the company of some lady who pretended to an event planner, after some minutes he assaulted, humiliated and beat me to stupor which I acquired a severe injury on my face and I fainted , he assaulted me and took my 11 months old baby and ran away , after I woke up from fainting I discovered that he has kidnapped my baby and ran away.

For good 2 weeks I didn’t set my eyes on her. Not until on the 2nd of June where the Ikeja police command invited us and they handed a 11 months old baby the Ibrahim . I’m so scared and worried that Ibrahim has my child for fetish purposes .

When I saw my daughter on the 2nd on June in the police premises, my heart was bleeding because my daughter isn’t in a good state she has been treated badly All efforts to know where the location of my baby was proved abortive hence I came to gender unit at SCID Panti to assist me on retrieving my baby back . While I was waiting for progress on the case, I honored the invitation of the Police at Ikeja command where I saw my baby for the first time in two weeks I saw the baby in a bad state , I tried to hold and touch my baby then a fight ensued between us.

The OC gender in police headquarters CSP Gladys Faniyitayo refused to give me audience and she threw all of us out including my parents. my father tried to introduce himself and she shunned him. My mum tried to beg and appeal with her but she threw her out of her office. I don’t understand why my baby who was stolen from me by the father who is a student and doesn’t have a clear source of income.. was given to the same man by ASP Bimbo of Gender Unit, Police State Headquarters Ikeja without allowing me to tell my side of the story.

The entire Gender unit team at the police headquarters seemed to be acting a script written by Ibrahim. My father a Retired senior officer in the Navy and my mother were present Right now I’m worried because of how she was looking emaciated and unkept , I’m begging CSP Gladys Faniyitayo to help recover my child and keep her safe before my daughter is used for ritual purpose . My baby who is breastfeeding was stolen from me by Ibrahim oladipupo after assaulting me in public two weeks ago, has now been handed over to the same Ibrahim who assaulted me.”

“We should acknowledge that Nigeria is now a failed country” – Former American Ambassador to Nigeria tells US

An ex-United States Ambassador to Nigeria, John Campbell (L) and a former Director with Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government, Prof. Robert Rotberg (R), have said it’s time for the United States to acknowledge that Nigeria is a failed state.

Campbell and Rotberg stated this is in light of the many security threats plaguing the country.

This was disclosed in an article titled, “The Giant of Africa is Failing” which was published in the May/June edition of Foreign Affairs magazine.

Both men stated that every part of Nigeria now faces insecurity which threatens the nation’s corporate existence.

The article read in part,

“Nigeria’s worldwide companions, particularly the USA, should acknowledge that Nigeria is now a failed state. In recognition of that truth, they need to deepen their engagement with the nation and search to carry the present administration accountable for its failures, while additionally working with it to supply safety and proper financial system.”

Campbell and Rotberg noted that the security agents have been unable to curb crime due to the sophisticated weapons that the criminals in the country have known their possession.

They also spoke about the Buhari Administration, stating that the country had moved from being a weak one to a failed one.

“Underneath the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, a number of overlapping safety crises has remodelled Nigeria from a weak state right into a failed one. Buhari’s authorities has struggled to quell numerous Jihadi insurgencies, together with the one waged by the militant group Boko Haram,” the article read.

They also alleged that the Federal Government seemed to have given up in some areas and non-state actors had taken over while quasi-police organisations and militias controlled by state governments have become more common.

The authors stated that due to kidnappings and other crimes, several schools had been forced to shut down.

The article reads,

“Regional quasi-police forces and militias—generally related to state governments however not often formally sanctioned—train de facto authority in some areas. However in lots of others, the federal authorities have successfully ceded management to militants and criminals.”

Campbell and Rotberg said happenings in Nigeria also affect other areas of Africa. The article adds that Nigeria depends too much on oil and is regularly faced with economic disasters.

They wrote,

“However the Nigerian state has long failed to supply its residents with social companies and Nigerian politics is basically an elite sport disassociated from governance.

“The Federal Government doesn’t or cannot tax the true wealth of the nation, stays too depending on income from oil and gasoline, and lurches from one fiscal disaster to a different. Corruption is structural, too, casting almost everybody as each perpetrator and sufferer.”

The authors recommended that through conferences, technical recommendations, and different instruments of “comfortable diplomacy,” the US ought to help civil society and Nigerian non-governmental organisations in their efforts to strengthen the nation’s democracy.

Alex however shut down those insinuations and she insists she does not have any problem with Tobi

Her reply reads ;

Because you people have refused to understand that we don’t have issues and no matter how many times we say it, you people make an issue out of anything that brings both names into the same conversation and I love my peace.

Same way daft people will make an issue out of this innocent and honest reply.

Now, for you personally,  What concerns this question with my question? 1a) Why did you put a “not a question ” disclaimer but you still went on to ask a question. 1b) Have you heard about minding my business an in extreme cases, the business that minds me ? 2) Do you understand that you like problems?

Daddy Freeze disagrees

The Free the Sheeple movement leader took to his Instagram page to defend his opinion with scriptural proof. According to him, there are some vices God can never do because they are against his character.

Giving examples of what God cannot do, Freeze said God can never lie, steal or commit suicide.

His post reads;

“WHAT GOD CANNOT DO EXISTS!

God cannot commit suicide, God cannot steal for you….God cannot do anything outside his character, so if that thing you are praying for is outside his character, HE CANNOT DO IT O!

1: God cannot and does not tolerate false worship Revelation 22:15, Exodus 32:5.

2: God cannot be tempted by evil money, you steal money and bring tithes out of it, God would rather accept the blood of a pig as sacrifice first.

? James 1:13 ?
New International Version
When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone;

? Isaiah 66:3 ?
New International Version
But whoever sacrifices a bull is like one who kills a person, and whoever offers a lamb is like one who breaks a dog’s neck; whoever makes a grain offering is like one who presents pig’s blood, and whoever burns memorial incense is like one who worships an idol. They have chosen their own ways, and they delight in their abominations;

3: God cannot disown himself or deny who he is.
? 2 Timothy 2:13 ?
New International Version
if we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot disown himself.
New Living Translation
If we are unfaithful, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny who he is.

4: God cannot lie,
? Hebrews 6:18 ?
New International Version
God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be greatly encouraged.

5: God cannot learn anything new, He knows everything!
? 1 John 3:20 ?
New International Version
If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.

So please stop this nonsense! ~FRZ”
