President Muhammadu Buhari will depart Abuja on Sunday for Japan to participate in the Seventh Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD7) holding in the City of Yokohama, August 28-30, 2019.

President Buhari’s participation, according to a statement by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity,Chief Femi Adesina, will be his second, having attended TICAD6 in Nairobi, Kenya, in August 2016.

With the theme, “Africa and Yokohama, Sharing Passion for the Future,” the Opening Session of TICAD7 will be performed by the Japanese Prime Minister and host, Shinzo Abe.

President Buhari will deliver Nigeria’s Statement during Plenary Session Three in which he will appraise Nigeria-Japan relations and takeaways from TICAD6.

He will attend a State Banquet and also honour the invitation of Emperor Naruhito to a Tea Reception at the Imperial Palace, Tokyo. In addition to a bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Abe.

The Nigerian President will also attend some side-events and meet chief executive officers of some Japanese companies with huge investments in Nigeria.

Formed in 1993, the now triennial TICAD, which has been convened alternately in Japan and Africa since TICAD6, according to the organisers, is the largest international conference held in Japan which “provides an open forum that generates innovative discussion among various stakeholders on African development.” Participants are drawn not only from African countries, but also international organisations, private companies and civil society organisations involved in development.

TCAD7 is expected to focus on Africa’s “economic transformation and improvements in business environment and institution through private investment and innovation; promotion of resilient and sustainable African society for human security; and peace and stability in support of Africa’s domestic proactive efforts.”

Nigeria has gained tremendously since her participation in TICAD6 at the highest level, during which Japan pledged $30 billion investment “for the future of Africa combined with the private sector;” $10 billion infrastructure investment, and $500 million for vocational training of 50,000 Africans.

Since the Nairobi Conference, Japanese government and companies have been very active in supporting Nigeria’s agriculture, healthcare, electricity and youth empowerment.

President Buhari and his delegation are expected in Yokohama to push for broader Japanese assistance in the areas of science and technology, innovation, human resource development, education, agriculture, power, health and disaster risk reduction, among others.

President Buhari will be accompanied by Governors Babagana Zulum, AbdulRaham AbdulRazaq and Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Borno, Kwara and Lagos States respectively; ministers and other top government officials.

The President is expected back in Nigeria on Saturday, August 31.

The Minister of Women Affairs, Dame Paulen Tallen has assured that women will henceforth begin enjoying enormous support and cooperation from President Buhari.

She said that the President is not unmindful of remarks of the role women play in his political career, which is the reason why he sent her to the ministry.

Dame Tallen said that the key word she will dwell with is girl -child education because most vulnerable women are uneducated.

The minister spoke in Abuja while addressing staff of the ministry on her assumption of office.

She said: “This is a wholistic ministry as the woman takes care of the home, children and husband. I am giving you all a charge that things will be done different henceforth.

“We must set out targets and work towards achieving it. We must make history and make undelible mark on the sands of history.

“You have severally bombarded mr president about the role women played in his political carrer. He is not unmindful of that and I want to assure you that Mr president has a very good reason of sending me to this ministry. You will see the enormous support and corporation we are going to enjoy from him.

“We all resolved to work as a team from our recent retreat. This ministry is multi facet and has a lot of responsibility. To touch the lives of the vulnerable.

“We have an uphill task to meet up with mandate of the ministry and demand of the president. Women do not go without the children neither can they go without the men. This is the time to give back to the society.

“Women are the engine of the economy and must be carried along to improve the economy. Once women are empowered, the economy change. We will make impact if we are able to improve on the life of the vulnerable woman. Support them with income generating activities, there will be peace and development.



“Most of the security problem is because we have out of school children. If we look for ways to engage this children meaningfully, the security situation will change. Then we will have peace.



“The key word I want to dwell with is the girl child education. Cos most of the vulnerable women are uneducated. If a girl is uneducated, there is nothing she can do. She becomes vulnerable in the hand of men.



“We will work with Ministry of Education and Information to sensitise Nigerians and to get everybody on board to ensure that the youths and our women are well engaged in order to change the economy.



“Nigeria is going through a very difficult stage, the issue of security, economy and corruption. We can together stem the tide. I need your full support so that we can make a difference and make history.”

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has described the set of cabinet ministers inaugurated by President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday as a poor parade of “recycled foot-travelers”, many of who the party said have failed Nigerians in governance assignments.

A statement by the spokesman for the PDP, Kola Ologbondiyan, stated that in assembling a team made up of persons “indicted for corruption and treasury looting”, the President has demonstrated that he has nothing to offer to the nation.

The President, the main opposition party added, has, through his actions, been condoning and encouraging corruption as well as perpetuating incompetence, failure and ineffectiveness in governance.

The party said it was not surprise that the President had no clear-cut blueprint to rescue the nation from the economic, security and social quagmires, which the PDP accused the administration of plunging the nation into in the last four years.

The statement said, “Of course, Mr President has severally demonstrated a lack of required capacity to lead a nation as complex as Nigeria, especially at this trying times.

“At a ceremony where Nigerians had expected the forceful articulation of a progressive policy thrust, Mr. President bored the nation with an empty and directionless script that only evoked more despondency in our nation.

Instead of helping President Buhari to offer hope, his handlers were more interested in photo-ups and refreshments, away from serous business of governance”

Describing the President’s approach to governance as contemptible, the party said he disregarded ministerial portfolios to clerical aides to his Chief of Staff, Mallam Abba Kyari.

During yesterday’s inauguration, the President had instructed the newly inaugurated ministers to channel their submissions to Kyari, a directive the PDP said amounted to demotion of the ministers, “which is completely unacceptable, counter-productive and reduces governance to a domestic affair”, the party said.

The PDP said it feels the pains and anguish of Nigerians, who it said, by now, would have been enjoying the benefits of the much-desired economic recovery blueprint articulated by the its candidate in the February 23 presidential election, Atiku Abubakar.

“Nigerians will recall that in Atiku’s blueprint, proactive strategic policies and plans were laid out for rapid interventions in critical sectors of our national lives to address the security, economic and social problems caused by the Buhari administration and return our nation to her pride of place”.

The party urged Nigerians not to lose hope but to continue in the expressed determination to retrieve Atiku Abubakar’s “stolen” presidential mandate at the court.

Popular South African televangelist, Pastor Zabulon Buthelezi has been accused of impregnating the wife of a community leader and member of the Zion Christian Church (ZCC) in Boksburg.



Narrating how his wife denied him sex for 6 years while allegedly giving it to the televangelist on the side, the ZCC leader alleged that his wife of 20 years also abused him emotionally by insisting on bathing naked in his presence without allowing him touch her. He disclosed that his wife backed her refusal to give in to his conjugal rights by citing the differences in their religious belief.



In the affidavit filed at Boksburg magistrate's court, the jilted man also accused the founder of Revelations of Christ Apostolic Mission Church of threatening his life when he confronted him with proof.



The ZCC leader also stated he never suspected his wife was in an amorous relationship with Pastor Zabulon Buthelezi even with his repeated visits to their house, till he overheard his wife telling their daughter that she was in love with him.



"Every time I tried to touch her, she would parry my hand and threaten to open a case of rape against me if I continued to try my luck.

"I was not aware of their relationship and that my wife was pregnant by Pastor Buthelezi. After a few days I realised when my wife was speaking to my daughter that she is in love with Pastor Buthelezi" he said.

"He said he has a lot of beautiful women at his church, and he is going to deal with me because I dirtymark (sic) his name," he wrote in his court papers.



Sunday World reported that Buthelezi refused to subject himself to a paternity test to determine if he was the father to the man's wife's child born on June 22. The popular South African Pastor and the man's wife also declined commenting on the case already in court.



The case was adjourned to September for the court to determine if the founder of Revelations of Christ Apostolic Mission Church will be forced to go through the paternity test.

The leader of the police team, Sodiq Yusuf however told Falana that they were acting on the order of the police commissioner not to allow anyone into the venue in order to avoid violence. Falana assured them that as long as he is around, there would not be violence, but Yusuf insisted that he must get clearance from his boss first and then after sometimes, he came back to say that the commissioner of police had now permitted them into the venue, but not until after thorough screening of those going inside the venue.


Journalists and others were later allowed in after showing of identity cards.

According to Onsongo, he has been suspecting that his wife of four years was abusing drugs over the past few weeks.

“I suspect my wife has been using drugs, petty arguments over such squabbles as wanting to visit her parents has been turning her violent,” he added.

The Operation Crush of the Lagos State Police Command has arrested 43 suspected members of a notorious “No Salary’’ gang terrorising residents of Ikotun in Lagos.

DSP Bala Elkana, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the command, disclosed this to the News Agency of Nigeria on Thursday, stating that nine locally made pistols were recovered from the suspects.

He assured that the raid will continue until the hoodlums were fully uprooted from the area and the state in general.

Elkana said, “Operation Crush has arrested 43 no salary boys over the last few days and have recovered 9 locally made pistols.

“The operations will continue until they are totally uprooted.”

NAN reports that the “no salary gang” is a group of young men and women who usually gather at Council Bus-Stop, Ikotun where they terrorise pedestrians and motorists.

Some eyewitnesses of the activities of the notorious gang members had narrated their ordeal to newsmen.

Mr Olafemi Akinwale, who witnessed one of their raids recently, said the gang was called, “Kesari’’ “No Salary boys’’ and Council is their meeting point.

He said “They came from Ikotun, Egbe, Idimu, Egbeda and other places around council bus stop.

“One morning, I was going to work and they were raiding at council, holding sticks, machetes, bottles and other dangerous weapons.

“They were at the roundabout, which became a no go area, so, the bus had to turn back and take an alternative route.

“I got down, took a commercial motorcycle and I saw them looting shops and harassing passers-by.

“They were male and female, from various cult groups, as they had different tattoos on their bodies.

“They are between the ages of 15 years and 25 years. I heard they were on rampage because one of them was killed’’.

Another eyewitness, Mr Henry Osuji told NAN that he would have been a victim of their operation a week ago if he had not aborted his journey to the council bus stop.

He said, ”I saw them, holding dangerous weapons, at Idimu roundabout at about 9:30pm.

“I have to retreat immediately before they caught up with me. I narrowly escaped that day.”

Nigeria’s High Commissioner to South Africa, Ambassador Kabir Bala has revealed that over 6,000 Nigerians are being investigated by the South African authorities for various crimes.



The High Commissioner said the statistics which is from the South African Police Service also revealed that the crimes centered on drug-related offences, murder, fraud and armed robbery.

We have to look at it from a proper perspective so that we don’t tilt the balance. And then we overlook the fact that some of our nationals engage in things that are not legal here.

“We have 6, 089 of them having cases that are being concluded or investigated and some of them in prison, we have them,” he said.

Admitting that the figures gotten after a diplomatic meeting which had South Africa’s Police Minister Bheki Cele and other top police officials present were shocking, Bala told Channels Television that these Nigerians have the right to a fair trial before being convicted according to the country’s laws if found guilty.

The Nigerian government in a statement released by the Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Information and Culture, Grace Gekpe on Wednesday August 14, accused the leader of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN) Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky of being unruly upon arriving India for treatment.



The statement which countered claims of the IMN leader being treated like a criminal under heavy security surveillance in India, disclosed what led to the issue while pointing out that El-Zakzaky was allowed to embark on the trip with state officials in line with a court order and his choice to be accompanied by his aides and personal doctors was not opposed.



The IMN leader was accused of requesting to be allowed to check into 5-Star Hotel instead of being admitted in the hospital, and also demanding that the Police protection be withdrawn from him by the Indian authorities.



Read the statement in full below;

THE TRUE STORY ON EL-ZAKZAKY IN INDIA

The Court on 5th August 2019 granted Sheikh Ibraheem EL-Zakzaky leave to travel to India for medical treatment. Consequently, the Government and its relevant agencies took steps to comply with the Order.

In line with the Court Order, El-Zakzaky was approved to embark on the trip with State officials and his choice to be accompanied by his aides and personal Doctors was not opposed by the government.

“On 12th August, 2019, he and other members of the entourage went to India via Dubai. It is to be noted that El-Zakzaky particularly chose Medanta Hospital, India.

“However, on reaching Dubai, El-Zakzaky began to display ulterior motives against laid down procedures.

“He requested that his passport be handed over to him but the State officials would not budge to his pressure. The situation became worse in India as he refused to subject himself to preliminary medical checks.

“In addition, he demanded free movement and access to visitors of all kinds as well as requested to be allowed to check into a 5-Star Hotel instead of being admitted in the hospital.

“The request was refused on the ground that he came into the country for medicals and not as a tourist (more so that his Visa was issued on medical grounds and not for tourism). He also demanded that Police protection be withdrawn from him by the Indian authorities.

“Against medical ethics and standard practice, he requested to nominate Doctors of his choice to join the ones tasked by Medanta Hospital to perform medical treatment on him and his wife.

“This created a stalemate, which the Hospital insisted that he would not dictate to it on the choice of medical personnel to carry the required medical treatment.

“Frustrated by his antics, the Indian authorities have expressed willingness to return him to Nigeria with immediate effect. This is on the account that they will not allow him use their country to internationalize his group’s activities.

“Against this background, the Nigerian government wishes to commend the stand of the Indian Government as well as apologize to her for the unruly behaviour of El-Zakzaky. Similarly, the attention of the public and indeed the international community is hereby drawn to these unfortunate developments.

“The government also wishes to use this opportunity to affirm its readiness to undertake the prosecution of El-Zakzaky through due process if and when he is returned to the country. On this note, his foul cry that he is being held in circumstances worse than he was in Nigeria should be disregarded.”

A tailor has been left with many marks on his body after he was seriously assaulted by five soldiers at S&T barracks road, Opp MFM church, Uselu, Benin, Edo State.

According to the victim, the wife of one of the soldiers had given him a clothe to sew but he couldn’t, because she didn’t make herself available for measurement.

The lady later sent her daughter to collect the clothe but the girl was rude to one of his apprentices and she eventually left without taking the clothe with her.

The client then sent her second daughter to pick it up but the tailor insisted that the rude daughter should come so that he could make her understand that her manner of approach was wrong.

That decision obviously didn’t sit well with their mom, who stormed the shop to assault the tailor. However, the tailor told her that he can’t do anything to her but would have retaliated if a man did that to him.



The matter was later reported to her husband who is a soldier and he mobilized his colleagues to the shop. The tailor was then whisked away to their barracks, where he was severely beaten up.

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has revealed a new drug Nigerian youths take to feel intoxicated.



Shehu Dankolo, Head of Drug Reduction of the NDLEA in Adamawa State revealed that some Nigerian youths now take processed urine to feel “high” as the ban on some abused drugs have made them relatively expensive.

There are certain controlled drugs, particularly codeine cough syrup. You know, federal government clamped seriously on them. Some of the companies closed down. So, the cough syrup that was initially N250 per bottle, but it is now sold for about N4,000. The same thing with tramadol which was N50 but is now about N500.

“Because these abused but banned drugs are so scarce and costly or entirely out of reach, people improvise other things. I won’t include so much detail so that people don’t read this and begin to experiment.

“There is a way they process urine. They take it and become intoxicated. There is a way they put maggi in some energy drinks and it gives them intoxication. There is a certain sweet they put in half bottle of water which they cover up and leave for some days. They form such other things. There are what we call new psychoactive substances. That is why drug abuse is difficult to tackle” he told Daily Post.

President Buhari issued a new directive to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) while hosting the All Progressives Congress (APC) governors to an Eid-el-Kabir lunch at his country home in Daura, Katsina state.



Buhari directed the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to stop providing foreign exchange for importation of food into the country following the steady improvement in agricultural production and attainment of full food security.



The President said the foreign reserve will be conserved and utilized strictly for diversification of the economy, and not for encouraging more dependence on foreign food import bills. The statement released by President Buhari’s media aide, Garba Shehu reads in part;

FOOD SUFFICIENCY: NO CENT SHOULD GO INTO FOOD IMPORT, PRESIDENT BUHARI DIRECTS CBN

President Muhammadu Buhari Tuesday in Daura, Katsina State, disclosed that he has directed the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to stop providing foreign exchange for importation of food into the country, with the steady improvement in agricultural production, and attainment of full food security.

The President, who hosted All Progressives Congress (APC) governors to Eid-el-Kabir lunch at his country home in Daura, said the foreign reserve will be conserved and utilized strictly for diversification of the economy, and not for encouraging more dependence on foreign food import bills.

“Don’t give a cent to anybody to import food into the country,’’ he said.

President noted that some states like Kebbi, Ogun, Lagos, Jigawa, Ebonyi and Kano had already taken advantage of the Federal Government’s policy on agriculture with huge returns in rice farming, urging more states to plug into the ongoing revolution to feed the nation.

“We have achieved food security, and for physical security we are not doing badly,’’he said.

President Buhari said he was particularly delighted that young Nigerians, including graduates, had started exploring agric-business and entrepreneurship, with many posting testimonies of good returns on their investments.

President Buhari said the incoming ministers will be “taught’’ and thoroughly guided to ensure they meet the targets of the APC-led government for the people, with regular monitoring of their performances and scaling up of targets by the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF).

The President assured that he will attend the Presidential Policy Retreat organized for the ministers by the OSFG, and insisted on compliance with laid down targets on key sectors of the economy that will directly impact on the livelihood of Nigerians.

The United Nations (UN) initiated a probe against North Korea over allegation of illegally raising money for weapons of mass destruction programs through cyberattacks launched against 17 countries.

The Asian country was accused of raising $2 billion from its increasingly sophisticated cyber activities against financial institutions and cryptocurrency exchanges. South Korea was the most hit as they suffered 10 attacks. The nation’s Bithumb cryptocurrency exchange was reportedly hacked at least four times.

India suffered three cyberattacks, while Bangladesh and Chile each had two attacks. The remaining thirteen nations which suffered one attack each are Costa Rica, Gambia, Guatemala, Kuwait, Liberia, Malaysia, Malta, Nigeria, Poland, Slovenia, South Africa, Tunisia and Vietnam.

Asides mining cryptocurrency via illicit cryptojacking malware to fund a “professional branch of the military”, North Korea Government’s hackers were also accused of taking over the ATM network for an entire nation in a particular attack and making over 10,000 payments.

North Korea’s hacking experts also reportedly carried out attacks through the SWIFT bank messaging network, “with bank employee computers and infrastructure accessed to send fraudulent messages and destroy evidence.” The allegation is being investigated as attempted violations of U.N. sanctions.

Reno Omokri in his contribution to Maraji’s post of Jesus being the only way to heaven, stated that Jesus is not God.



Recall that LIB reported earlier that the former Presidential spokesperson said Maraji was partly right in her claim of Jesus being the only way to God. He also claimed that the Europeans changed Yeshua to Jesus with an occultic agenda.



In his rejoinder post to claims made earlier, Reno Omokri added that Jesus is not God but only came to show us the way to God. He wrote;

Let me shock you. Yeshua came to show us the Way to God because He, Yeshua, is the ONLY Way to God. He is the everlasting Melchizedek High Priest. The Mediator between God and man. But He is NOT the Almighty God. That is a European concept.

Yeshua never claimed to be God. Many Christians read John 1:1 in The Bible (not the Scriptures) and use that to claim that Yeshua is God. I will urge you to get the original Greek Scriptures (see the attached picture) and even if you can’t read Greek, just study that verse. This is the verse in pure Greek (?ν ?ρχ? ?ν ? λ?γος, κα? ? λ?γος ?ν πρ?ς τ?ν θε?ν, κα? θε?ς ?ν ? λ?γος). Here is the verse in Latin, which may be easier for laymen (In principio erat Verbum, et Verbum erat apud Deum, et Deus erat Verbum). Notice the words DEUM and DEUS are used to describe the first and second mention of God.

Although you may not be able to read the Greek, what John 1:1 says when translated without changing the words used for God is this “in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with Theon and the Word was Theos”. The original Scriptures did not use the same word for the first mention of God and the second mention. The word used in the first mention is THEON (which refers to the Almighty. The word in the second mention is THEOS which is what is used to refer to Yeshua.
This is why Scripture says “my people perish for lack of knowledge”-Hosea 4:6.

A Metropolitan Police officer, Khafi Kareem, is appearing on the Nigerian version of Big Brother despite being refused permission by her bosses and could face disciplinary action.

Ms. Kareem, 29, who was pictured alongside Commissioner Cressida Dick as the Met celebrated 100 years of women in the force last November, is one of the stars of the African reality TV show.

Scotland Yard said it had not granted Ms. Kareem’s request to appear on the programme and that an internal investigation would be carried out, reports UK Press Association.

The UK Metropolitan Police said Ms. Kareem was granted unpaid leave for an “unrelated reason” ahead of appearing on the show but her request to take part in the programme was denied.

A spokesman said: “A Pc, attached to the Met’s transformation command, requested permission to take part in a reality television entertainment show in Nigeria. Permission was not given.

“The Met is aware that the officer has since appeared on the show without authority.

“The Directorate of Professional Standards has been informed and will be carrying out an investigation into the circumstances.

“The Met does not support the officer’s appearance nor does she represent the Met whilst appearing on the show.”

The force added that any officer found to have breached police standards of professional behaviour could face misconduct proceedings.

According to The Sun, Ms. Kareem joined the force as a Pc based at Lambeth station in 2015, having worked part-time as a special constable for four years.

An unnamed colleague told the newspaper: “She’s a serving British police officer — it’s outrageous. She asked permission to go on the show but, when her request was refused, she went anyway.”

A post on the website of Africa Magic, the television channel which broadcasts Big Brother Naija, says Ms. Kareem joined the show “so that she can do societal good”.

It read: “Police officer Khafi Kareem believes that you can have it all if you believe in yourself.

“She is not only hoping to win the prize money but she wants the exposure that being in Big Brother Naija House brings so that she can do societal good.

“What people don’t know about her is that she is secretly talented in spoken word, singing, and dancing. She is an Ekiti native who resides in London.”

The post also reveals Ms. Kareem would spend the prize money, reportedly worth N30 million (£68,000), on hosting a travel show in Nigeria, as well as investing in charitable causes.

Nigeria’s Vice President Prof. Yemi Osinbajo has tweeted for the first after a failed attempt to hack into his Twitter account @ProfOsinbajo.

There was jubilation at Supreme Court today following the judgement which affirmed the victory of Osun Governor-elect Gboyega Oyetola at the September 2018 election held in the state.



The All Progressives Congress (APC) party faithfuls who could not hide their excitement at the Supreme Court Premises burst into jubilation.


They also displayed a big portrait of the governor-elect as they celebrated the victory. The Supreme Court on Friday, affirmed Oyetola’s victory by a majority judgment of five to two members of the Supreme Court panel.



The apex court therefore dismissed the appeal filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its governorship candidate, Ademola Adeleke, challenging the election of Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress.

Nigerian male barbie, Okuneye Idris Olarenwaju popularly known as Bobrisky, truly knows how to make tongues wag! Weeks after revealing his newly constructed ‘Watermelon’, the controversial celebrity and cross dresser, Bobrisky has been spotted at a Buka joint trying to buy food without them.
When spotted, the self-acclaimed male barbie was not wearing his usual ‘watermelon’prosthesis and make-up. Recall Bobrisky claimed his ‘watermelons’ were real, even though, they were surgically implanted. Watch the video below:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FxxZ5-QkZo

Recall that the self-acclaimed social media publicist and skincare expert shared a new girlie photo flaunting a perfectly made-up face, matched with a red gown with what seems to like some massive cleavage. Immediately the photo surfaced on the internet, a debate ensued on whether the cleavages are real or not.

But popular opinions had it that the pair of large protruding ‘watermelon’ were just a dummy. Sharing the photo, he captioned it with a one-liner: “You asked for it .” Check out some reactions below:



Not resting on his effort, reacting to the reactions that trailed the picture of him having ‘watermelons’, Bobrisky has promised to release bikini photos of himself at the end of the Ramadan fasting period. He said: “Someone comment got me smiling My last picture with cleavage because of the Muslims fasting…. After Ramadan chai I have plenty bikini pic I wanna show case here…..”
Bobrisky’s true self has continued to unravel over the months despite his many attempts to look perfect. Just recently, a newly released video by Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh made rounds on the internet. The Nigeria’s top male barbie doll, Bobrisky also appeared in the video and Nigerians were stunned!

In a new video with his mentor, Tonto Dikeh, Bobrisky was seen without makeup and his real look was so glaring. It looks like he was betrayed by his very own when he featured in a filter-less and make-up free video with his best friend.
The video has left people confused as the controversial Nigerian male barbie regularly flashes his ‘watermelons’ and feminine attributes. Sometime ago, he even went on to publicly announce that he has dropped his naturally acquired gender, and he went on to lambast fans who go on her page to call him ‘bro’.
What new stunt do you think Bobrisky would pull? Please share your thoughts on this with us in the comment section.

6.4 magnitude earthquake hits Southern California
A 6.4 magnitude earthquake rattled Southern California on Thursday July 4th.



This is the largest earthquake to hit the region in decades. The quake, which occurred at 10:33 am was centered in the Searles Valley, a remote area of Kern County about 100 miles from Los Angeles.



The quake was the largest in Southern California since the 1994 6.6 Northridge quake, which caused deaths and destroyed properties worth billions of dollars. Thankfully, today’s quake was located far from the metropolitan Los Angeles area.



Reacting to the tremor, Ava DuVernay tweeted: "Been living in Los Angeles all my life. That was the longest earthquake I’ve ever experienced. Not jerky. Smooth and rolling. But it was loooong. It was so long I thought for the first time ever “Is this the big one?” Damn. Respect Mother Nature. She’s the boss."



"I was in my kitchen trying to get some coffee and all the windows started rattling," said Emma Gallegos, a 34-year-old journalist in southwest Bakersfield. "It was just a little bit at first — I thought something was going by, and then I realized all the windows were rattling. It was kind of a long gentle roll and I felt two distinct waves."



Gallegos said that the dried chiles hanging from a hook on her kitchen wall were all shaking. "It was surreal."



Local emergency agencies have been flooded with calls, and officials urged that people only use 911 for emergencies.



"We are very much aware of the significant earthquake that just occurred in Southern California. Please DO NOT call 9-1-1 unless there are injuries or other dangerous conditions. Don't call for questions please," the LAPD said in a statement.

In fact, she was accused of being boring and intimidated by the sort of the people she met in the house. This issue sparked reactions on social media with some saying she should be voted out. Check out tweets below:


Well, Tacha has shown the stuff she’s made of as she has shown she’s not here to take attitude or insults from any housemate. Please leave your comments below.

The Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) yesterday released a video with a view to clearing the name of its founder, Prophet T.B. Joshua, over allegations of wrongdoing.

The six-minute long video came on the heels of a rape allegation against Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo, founder of the Commonwealth Assembly of Zion (COZA), who on Monday was forced to take a leave of absence after protesters stormed the premises of the church.
One Bisola Johnson had accused Joshua and the SCOAN of among other alleged atrocities using “religious garb to cover their nefarious operation in other to lure the naive, vulnerable, gullible, and the innocent into occultism…”

In a part of the video, she is seen saying: “My name is Bisola. I have acted as an enemy of God rather than a friend. And today, I am coming back as a prodigal daughter, so that God will forgive me; so that the Man of God will forgive me and the church, Synagogue, will forgive me…I have been rebelious. When I left the SCOAN, nobody asked me to leave. I am asking God (kneels) to forgive me.”

Another part shows the woman saying: “I always have a terrible headache which is called migraine. And anytime it happens, I misbehave. I always behave irrationally. I don’t regard anybody. I just behave the way my spirit dictates to me. Anything my spirit says, I will just do it.”
In yet another part, the woman is seen prostrate on the floor, sobbing, and pleading for forgiveness, saying, “I have changed,” but to which Joshua replies, “People find it difficult to believe you.”

Since Regina Daniels’ marriage to 59-year-old Ned Nwoko went viral, the gossip mill has been spinning fresh tales about every action she takes. She seems to be embroiled in another tough battle with Ned Nwoko’s alleged son, Emzy. The troubles Regina Daniels has been facing at the hands of her stepson, Emzy, does not seem to be coming to an end any time soon as he has attacked her in yet another Instagram post.

On July 1, 2019, Regina took to her Instagram page to share a picture of her boarding what many assumed to be her husband’s private jet. She captioned it: “Wasn’t born to follow rules”. Check out the picture below:
Not long after, Regina’s stepson, Emzy took to the comment section to say this: “Really? Then Keep My Father Out Of Such Lifestyle, U Can Fly To Wherever You Like Not My Business, Be Warned Before I Lose My Anger On You, Lil Mama”.

Recall that just recently, Actress Regina Daniels’ step son launched an offensive on her online. Regina posted a picture and used a seemingly innocent caption. Immediately, an Instagram handle purportedly owned by Ned Nwoko’s son, Emzy took to the comment section to troll her. He said: “Lolz Love? Money Love? You are perfectly loved because you know what you people did to him, but I will definitely destroy the juju soon. Just enjoy it while it lasts.” Check out the screenshots below.


Even when a fellow commenter tried to caution him, he blatantly ignored her and then took to his own page to say: “You are perfectly loved because you know what you people did to him, but I will definitely destroy it soon.”
“Everything has an end date. Voodoo people. Tell your jaz man ‘en otumoko’ reach o. Chill baby girl.”
Recall that few days ago, a chat between Emzy and Regina Daniels went round. The Regina Daniel’s account however, was later discovered to be from a fake account.


Would Emzy stop harassing his new step mother and accept his father’s union in peace? Please leave your comments below.
