Adekunle Gold is apparently pretty good with his photoshop application and he wants the world to know it.



He has so far put himself in a picture with Chrissy Teigen, Amber Rose, Kim Kardashian and with the entire cast of Empire. Now he has done it again, this time with rapper Nicki Minaj,

It is quite possible this wasn’t done by him as it didn’t have the same finesse as the other photos.



It was a picture of the both of them kissing, it’s obvious this was just a cheeky move by either Adekunle Gold himself or someone who wants to troll him as I doubt you’d share a kiss with Nicki Minaj and leave your eyes open.



But it’s all in good fun and so far it’s just been a bit of a laugh for everyone. You can see the image below.

I felicitate with all Nigerians, especially the Muslim Ummah, on the occasion of this year’s Eid El Fitr, which marks the completion of the Ramadan fast.

I congratulate Muslims in Nigeria and around the world on the successful completion of this month-long spiritual journey of fasting, prayer and almsgiving in obedience to the Divine Command.

I sincerely pray that the Almighty Allah will reward our sacrifices with increased blessing and a more prosperous future.

On this happy occasion, it is my strong belief that all true followers of Islam have been rejuvenated on the true meaning and essence of life and through the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (SAW), we have learnt to imbibe the virtues of piety, sacrifice, love, self-denial and good conduct in our daily relationship with one another.

As we celebrate another Eid El Fitr, I admonish all patriotic Nigerians to uphold these lessons and also appreciate the numerous material and human blessings God has endowed us with.

Let us learn to show gratitude, respect and tolerance to one other, irrespective of our religion, tribe, language and political leanings, as we forge ahead to build on our strengths and opportunities to make Nigeria great again.

On Monday this week, the Vice President, the Speaker of the House of Representatives
and other government officials joined me to host Iftar reception at the State House with Nigerians of different backgrounds including Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), artisans and Physically-challenged persons.

Like I said during the reception, I want to once again appeal to those of us who have the means, to remember the millions of Nigerians who are suffering deprivation because of violence perpetrated by terrorists.

I am not unaware of what Nigerians are going through and I want to use this medium to commend the amazing sacrifices of Nigerians in the face of the temporary economic and social challenges and also reassure Nigerians that my administration is working assiduously towards providing basic needs and other amenities.

Let me also use this opportunity to reaffirm that we will not relent in the fight against corruption and we will ensure that all appropriate and legal measures are deplored to root out this malaise.

I commend the Armed Forces and security agencies for the gains recorded in the fight against terrorists and the rescue of hostages in the North East part of the country.

I also appeal for the support, understanding and patience of all Nigerians and our international partners as we explore the fastest means to end the economic sabotage in the Niger Delta and amicably resolve the conflicts within the region.

I promise you all better days ahead even as we remain grateful for your unflinching support to our administration.
Happy Eid El Fitr celebration and May the Almighty Allah continue to bless our nation.
Eid Mubarak!

Muhammadu Buhari

Its been 6 years that Osun state governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola has been steering the affairs of the state. He was returned to office in November 27, 2014 for a second term. So many things can be said to be wrong with Ogbeni's 6 year old administration in the state. Below is a lost of some of them.

1. Government without Commissioners: Ogbeni rauf Aregbesola has been running his 2-year old second term government without commissioners. Aregbesola ascribed the delay to the paucity of funds, saying that the purse of the state has been reduced.

2. No Local Government Elections: The last local government poll held in the state was conducted by a PDP-led government in 2007. Since 2011, billions have gone into statutory monthly allocation with no evidence of development in the local governments.

Governor Aregbesola has failed to reveal the total debt exposure of the local governments that he has ran through executive secretaries for over 5 years.

3. Jailing Students: Students who downloaded films on the freely distributed Opon Imo were sent to Ilesa prison. This would not have happened if the government weighed several options before implementing it.

4. Demolition and Merging of Schools: Osun state under Governor Aregbesola demolished merged post-primary schools in the state. This was against the interest of the teachers, students, and alumni associations. Also inimical to the future of students, especially final year students whose examination centres were demolished. This policy of the government was ill-timed and causes a lot of dislocation and hardship for the students, whose identity were erased from the school.

Aregbesola also demolished several houses and shops along Osogbo-Iwo, Ogo Oluwa - Old Garage -Ayetoro - Ota Efun. road. People were made homeless, and with only few of them compensated.

5. Controversy With The General School Uniform: Governor Aregbesola also introduced the school uniform for all state primary and secondary schools in the state. This action didn't go well with the schools, teachers and religious organisations as it destroyed the existent school structure. Through free, it is quite difficult to differentiate students of a school from the other. Religious organisations kicked against it because of a hidden inscription “Ella” discovered in the new school uniforms distributed to all pupils in both primary and secondary schools in the state.

6. Huge Borrow And Uncompleted/Abandoned Projects: No doubt, governor Aregbesola has plunged the state into huge debt with an increased rate of state's borrow, but with abandoned projects in the state. Governor Aregbesola took loans on projects that are grandiose and without direct impact on the lives of the people – federal roads and flyovers that hardly got off the drawing board, airports construction that has been left abandoned.

7. Hijab Crisis: The recent hijab crisis has not been handled maturely by the state governor, who threatened to expel students who wear robes to school. Justice Jide Falola of the Osun State High Court had on June 3 given a verdict that Muslim students should be allowed to wear hijab in all public schools in the state because it was part of their fundamental rights.

8. Free School Feeding Programme: As at now, there is nothing productive with the free school feeding programme. It has not been sustainable overtime in Osun state. It though provided jobs for some local food vendors but resulted in huge debt for the state. Governor Aregbesola did not consider the state's economic capacity before investing in such an expensive welfare programme.

9. Misplaced Priorities: Osun state receives paltry sum from the nations treasury due to a heavy debt burden and now relies solely on the allocation giving to LG from the treasury to survive, yet Governor Aregbesola has created additional 30 LCDA and wants to build a 19 billion naira airport before he leaves government. In addition to misplaced priority is the “Opon-Imo” N8.6billion Project. The state is yet to develop for such an expensive project, the reason why students abused it. Today, where is the Opon-imo?

10. Backlog of Salaries: Despite Federal Government bailout funds, Osun is one of the states with terrible backlog of salaries. Some workers are being owed for 6 months, some half-paid, and some have not been paid at all.

11. Monopoly of Trade: Reports in some quarters reveal that the Omoluabi garment factory belongs to the niece of the deputy governor and that in giving her the monopoly to be the only one to sell and sew school uniforms in Osun could be said to affect the livelihood of thousands of tailors and material sellers in the state.

1. Before beginning a long drive, always get enough sleep and eat something before you go.



2. Pull over and take breaks every couple of hours, even if you don't feel sleepy.

3. If you can, share the driving responsibilities with someone else.



4. If you do have to pull over, move your vehicle off the road. Never park on the shoulder or in the breakdown lane for any reason except an emergency.



5. Know the laws along your route concerning cell phone use while driving.

A man pretending to be disabled in order to beg for money on the street was caught out by a passer-by - who refused to be convinced by his tricks.


The man had tucked his legs into the back of his boxer shorts, to give the appearance that he had no legs.


He then put on a pair of trousers to cover his hidden limbs and spent the say sitting on a skateboard.
But he was caught on when another man, who had walked past the ' disabled beggar ', was unconvinced by his act.

The passer-by pulled down the man's trousers to reveal his hidden limbs to the waiting crowds.
When the fraudster realized his cover had been blown, he desperately tried to wheel himself away on his skateboard.


The footage was posted on Live leak....

Following the Cameroonian President’s visit to the country a few months ago, Paul Biya has deployed a five-man team to Nigeria with the aim of taking with them knowledge in fighting corruption as practiced by the Nigerian anti-graft agency, EFCC.

Recall that President Biya also sent a team to the country during the former president Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration in order to learn the same tricks.

Shortly after the first visit, the Cameroonian government launched the “Operation Epervier” which translates to “Eagle Operation” to fight corruption on the country. Many politicians were arrested on corruption allegations, especially those suspected to be vying for Biya’s seat.

According to TheSimonAtebaNews, the acting Charmian of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu in a statement issued was quoted to have expressed the willingness of the Nigerian anti-graft agency to assist its Cameroonian counterpart in the area of asset tracking and recovery.

Magu while receiving the five-man delegate in Abuja said: “The Commission will be willing to exchange ideas and experiences with your country in necessary areas as you may desire. I wish to also thank you for your interest in the activities of the Commission.”

Responding to the EFCC’s boss, the leader of the Cameroonian delegation, Aseh Joseph Malegho praised the agency adding that the news of its success had traveled far and wide.

He said: “Your actions are laudable. We commend you and the President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, for your efforts in ridding Nigeria of corruption.

“Your anti-graft war has endeared you to us; that is why we have come to identify with your Commission.”
