CrimeNollywood Stars React To Arrest Of 100 Gay Men by edudaniel(op): 7:42am On Aug 30, 2023
Nollywood stars such as, Victoria Inyama, Georgina Onuoha have reacted to the arrest of hundred gay men by the Delta Police Command in the state.


The suspects were allegedly carrying out a gay wedding ceremony in a hotel in Delta state.

The Command in a post on its official X (formerly Twitter) handle on Tuesday, said it would parade the suspects shortly.


Reacting to the development, the movie stars condemned outrightly the arrest of the young men set to be paraded by the police for being gay.

Veteran actress, Georgina Onuoha berated the police for the arrest of the young men.


According to her, the force should hold politicians and pastors accountable for the anger and poverty ravaging the country and leave gay people alone.

She said: “Leave these people alone. They did not kill, steal or harm anyone. They are not the cause of Nigeria’s demise and predicaments. Let them live their lives.

“You that are busy committing fraud, sleeping around with married men and women, lying etc You are no better than these folks living their lives.

“Until many of you work in the medical field and understand the mechanisms behind sexual orientation, you will continue to live by the preachings of hate many con artist who call themselves pastors have poured into you as preachings.

“I laugh at the stupidity of some Nigerians who still believe that sin has categories and being “gay” is the worst of.. You are only deceiving yourself. In the eyes of God, sin is sin and many of you indulge in worst sins.

“I have a poignant question for you Nigerians, Do you think God will give you trophy if you harm or kill any of these people he created in his image and likeness? You will be hailed for committing murder? And you think God will welcome you with his open arms?

“What most of you practice is not. Christianity, you are practicing hate and bigotry. If for any reason you think this is a “western culture ” being brought to Nigeria, then you are the most ignorant of them all. Hold your politicians and pastors accountable for the anger and poverty you are facing and leave these people alone to live In Peace. This is not an endorsement of how they live their lives, rather this is about their humanity. Let them be.”

Controversial actor, Uche Maduagwu added that the arrest was unfair. “This is so Unfair”

Actress, Victoria Inyama wrote: “Parade the poor ones whilst idolising the rich ones. Make it make sense.”

CelebritiesWWE Champion Bray Wyatt Dies "Unexpectedly"; The 36 Year Old Was Struggling Hard by edudaniel(op): 7:23am On Aug 26, 2023
By Daniel Edu

WWE announced the passing of
Bray Wyat
t, the reigning World Wrestling Champion (WWE) known as "The Fiend," on Thursday. His final appearance in the ring was at the 2023 Royal Rumble. Despite his absence from competition since January, reports indicated he was on the brink of making a comeback. Sadly, his plans to return were interrupted by a severe illness, which he was diligently addressing to safeguard his long-term well-being.

A recent study conducted by the Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology has uncovered that the dengue virus exhibits heightened lethality under elevated temperatures.

News has circulated that Bray Wyatt was showing substantial improvement and had received medical clearance to resume wrestling. Tributes have begun to pour in for the former WWE Champion. The Miz tweeted, "Today, the world lost someone special. Bray Wyatt's ability to weave stories in the ring and his unparalleled creativity held audiences captivated. I will miss Windham Rotunda's joyful spirit and infectious laughter the most. My prayers are with the Rotunda family. Rest in peace, my friend."

The exact cause of Bray Wyatt's unexpected demise remains undisclosed according to the WWE website, though media outlets suggest it might have been due to a heart attack. The Daily Mail, citing Fightful, reported, "WWE superstar Bray Wyatt passed away at the age of 36 after reportedly suffering a heart attack."

"I can confirm that earlier this year, Windham Rotunda (Bray Wyatt) contracted COVID, which aggravated his heart issues. He was making positive strides toward recovery and a return. Unfortunately, today he experienced a heart attack and passed away," Sean Ross Sapp tweeted on X.

Bray Wyatt, survived by his fiancée WWE ring announcer JoJo and their two children, as well as ex-wife Samantha Rotunda and their two daughters, was only 36 years old.

Heart attack occurrences among young adults are on the rise, with fatalities documented in individuals in their 30s and 40s. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that nearly 18 million lives are claimed annually due to various cardiovascular incidents, with heart attacks being the leading cause. The aftermath of the COVID pandemic has witnessed an uptick in such incidents. Medical experts remain divided over whether COVID is a direct contributor to heart issues or if it is linked to the vaccination process.

Recognizing the early signs of the disease and understanding the associated risk factors are crucial. Symptoms of a heart attack include central chest pain or discomfort, pain or discomfort in the arms, left shoulder, elbows, jaw, or back. Additional signs such as numbness on one side of the face, arm, or leg, confusion, difficulty speaking or understanding speech, visual impairment, difficulty walking, dizziness, loss of balance, severe unexplained headaches, fainting, or unconsciousness can also manifest during a heart attack. Unhealthy dietary habits, excessive salt intake, sedentary lifestyle, and stress are common risk factors contributing to heart attacks in young adults today.

PoliticsEl-rufai's Visit To Tinubu At Aso Rock Comes After Senate Withholds Ministerial by edudaniel(op): 6:33pm On Aug 09, 2023
By Daniel Edu

In a notable turn of events, Nasir El-Rufai paid a visit to Bola Tinubu at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, marking his first public appearance with the President since the recent setback he faced in the Senate regarding his ministerial confirmation.

Nyesom Wike, former governor of Rivers State and a nominee for a ministerial position, also made an appearance at the State House to meet with the President.

El-Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna, was initially recommended as one of 48 ministerial nominees by Tinubu for consideration and confirmation by the upper legislative chamber.

However, during the recent screening session, the Senate confirmed 45 out of the 48 nominees, excluding El-Rufai and two others – Stella Okotete from Delta and Danladi Abubakar from Taraba. Senate President Godswill Akpabio cited pending security clearance as the reason for the non-confirmation of these three nominees.

A recent incident shed light on the situation when Senator Sunday Karimi, representing Kogi West, lodged a petition against El-Rufai during the ministerial screening process. The petition raised concerns regarding national security, unity, and the cohesion of Nigeria as a nation. Senator Karimi emphasized the necessity of considering this petition during the screening proceedings.

While specific details of the meeting between El-Rufai and Tinubu remain undisclosed, sources suggest that the conversation likely revolved around the suspension of El-Rufai's confirmation by the Senate. This visit comes as part of ongoing discussions to address the concerns and challenges that led to the withholding of El-Rufai's ministerial confirmation.

CrimeHow Europe-bound Nigerian Stowaways Survived Drinking Urine On Ship’s Rudder by edudaniel(op): 4:19pm On Aug 05, 2023
By Daniel Edu

Two of the four rescued Nigerian stowaways have narrated how they survived 14 days on a ship’s rudder by drinking their urine before being rescued off the coast of Brazil.

According to Daily Mail, the two men told their remarkable, death-defying journey across 3,500 miles (5,600 kilometres) of open ocean from Lagos, Nigeria to Vitória, Brazil.

The four stowaways were said to be fleeing the economic hardship and political instability in Nigeria and reportedly climbed into a space above the rudder of a cargo ship and hoped to reach Europe.

However, after two weeks of travelling, they ran out of food and water and in a bid to survive, resorted to drinking their urine and seawater as the ship pushed on towards South America.

Chronicling the challenges experienced during the journey, one of the stowaways, Thankgod Yeye, 38, in a report by the Daily Mail, said it was a terrible incident.

“It was a terrible experience for me. On board, it is not easy. I was shaking, so scared. But I’m here,” he said.

On his part, another victim, Roman Friday, 35, said they rigged up a net around the rudder to stop themselves falling in, adding that he saw “big fish like whales and sharks” in the ocean.

The Daily Mail reports that the victims were interviewed at a Sao Paolo church shelter after the ordeal, adding that they were finally rescued by Brazilian federal police in the southeastern port of Vitória two weeks after setting off on June 27.

It was learnt that due to the cramped conditions and the noise of the engine, sleeping was rare and risky.

Friday said, “I was very happy when we got rescued. I pray the government of Brazil will pity me.”

It was learnt that two of the rescued victims have since been returned to Nigeria upon their request, but Yeye and Friday were said to have applied for asylum in Brazil, citing economic hardship, political instability and crime as reasons for abandoning Nigeria.

According to the Daily Mail, Yeye, a Pentecostal minister from Lagos state, said his peanut and palm oil farm was destroyed by floods this year, leaving him and his family homeless.

As for Friday, he said his journey to Brazil began on June 27, when a fisherman friend rowed him up to the stern of the Liberian-flagged Ken Wave, docked in Lagos, and left him by the rudder where he found three men already waiting for the same ship to depart.

A priest at the Sao Paulo shelter, Father Paolo Parise, said he had come across other cases of stowaways, but never one so dangerous.

CelebritiesBbnaija ‘all-stars’: Meet Alex ‘A Thorn On Cee-c’s Flesh’ by edudaniel(op): 9:45am On Jul 31, 2023
By Daniel Edu

Five years after the Big Brother Naija ‘Double Wahala’ edition ended,
Cynthia Nwadiora
, popularly known as Cee-C and Alex Asogwa, also known as Alex Unusual, seemed to be at each other throats.

Alex and Cee-C surprisingly returned to the BBNaija ‘All-Stars’ edition and brought back memories of their 2018 brawl as the pair engaged in a heated argument last week over the wager task presentation script Alex wrote.

The duo have since moved on after the infamous quarrel that ensued between them, during the show, with Cee-C apologizing and reconciling with Alex at the reunion; however, the latter is still seen as a thorn in the side of the former.

One thing we observed this season is the manner in which the organisers of the show paired former housemates with clashes and interesting relationship dynamics in previous seasons.

The likes of Angel and Cross, Whitemoney and Pere, Doyin and Adekunle, Mercy Eke and Ike, including Cee-C and Alex.

On Alex and Cee-C, despite giving themselves a warm hug at the unveiling of the housemates, the latter has declared she is not ready to reconcile with her rival, even in the next 100 years.

She made this known during a conversation with the Head of House, Adekunle, stating that Alex has not changed her personality.

She said, “As far as I’m concerned, I don’t like her [Alex], and I don’t think I will ever like her even in the next 100 years. I don’t want to f*ck with her. It’s that simple. Even here, I told myself that whatever energy you bring, that’s the energy I will return. I will just act like I don’t know anyone anymore here.

“And I have seen that she is still the person she was in 2018…Alex is someone who just thinks that she can make my life uncomfortable”

Alex, on her part, seemed to be unbothered about Cee-C’s consistent rant, and many viewers of the show applauded her maturity.

What you should know about Alex.

1. The reality TV star hails from Enugu State.

2. Alex made her big screen debut in 1996 as a 6-month-old child model in a Nestle baby food campaign and rose to prominence after the BBNaija show.

3. In 2016, she competed in the Miss Eastern Nigeria beauty pageant in 2016 and was crowned the winner.

4. Alex studied at the New York Film Academy to enhance her directing and content creation talents.

4. She was alleged to have had a romantic affair with her colleague Tobi Bakre but trashed the rumours, stating that there was nothing going on between them.

5. The BBNaija star cum actress was also alleged to have aborted a pregnancy for ace Nigerian comedian, AY, and she debunked the report.

6. In 2021, Alex almost got married to a man named Andre, but the wedding was cancelled.

She accused the man of being a bully and violent. Alex, in a post shared on Instagram, explained the reason behind the marriage cancellation, stressing that Andre always hit her at the slightest provocation.

Celebrities'gospel Singer Joshua Bamiloye Defends Christians Who Watch Big Brother Naija Al by edudaniel(op): 1:23pm On Jul 26, 2023
By Daniel Edu

Joshua Bamiloye
, a gospel singer and the son of Mount Zion Drama Ministry's founder, Mike Bamiloye, has come forward to offer reasons why Christians who watch the reality show Big Brother Naija All Stars should not be subjected to criticism.

Taking to his Twitter account on Tuesday, the movie producer urged people to refrain from passing judgment on Christians who enjoy the reality show unless they examine their own indulgences. He emphasized the importance of prioritizing one's personal relationship with God and using it as a foundation to understand others better.

In his tweet, Bamiloye drew a parallel between Christians watching Big Brother Naija and other interests, such as football addiction. He pointed out that criticizing someone for watching the reality show while engaging in similar distractions, like excessive devotion to football, is hypocritical.

Furthermore, he urged everyone to evaluate what holds a place of significance in their hearts. Any activity that competes with God for priority and devotion deserves scrutiny, as it can potentially draw one away from their spiritual path. Bamiloye acknowledged that Big Brother Naija contains immoral scenes and may not be the most edifying form of entertainment. However, he stressed that promoting a stronger relationship with God and prioritizing spiritual growth will naturally lead to wiser choices in handling such content.

Ultimately, Bamiloye encouraged understanding, empathy, and personal growth as the means to bridge the gap between Christians who enjoy the reality show and those who hold reservations about its content. Rather than focusing on criticism, he urged fellow Christians to work together in building a stronger foundation of faith and making God the center of their lives.

SportsPSG Set To Offer Victor Osimhen ₦43 Billion In Transfer Deal by edudaniel(op): 10:08am On Jul 26, 2023
By Daniel Edu

Nigerian striker
Victor Osimhen
is on the verge of a lucrative move to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), with reports suggesting he could earn €50 million (approximately ₦43 billion) if the transfer materializes during this transfer window.

Napoli’s owner, Aurelio De Laurentiis, has indicated that PSG is the only club capable of meeting his high valuation for the player. Other top clubs like Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Bayern Munich have withdrawn from negotiations due to the substantial asking price set by De Laurentiis.

Previously, PSG reportedly made an offer of €120 million for Osimhen, but it was turned down by Napoli. The Italian club values the striker at €150 million, a price that no other club seems willing to meet.

De Laurentiis commented on the situation, saying, “The only club that could afford Victor Osimhen is Paris Saint-Germain. If (PSG president) Nasser Al Khelaifi wants to send in a bid around €200 million, we wait and see what happens. I personally think that Victor will stay here.”

Sky Sports also reported that PSG has struck a €300 million deal with Al-Hilal for Kylian Mbappe, though the Frenchman has not yet agreed to play in Saudi Arabia. Should Mbappe leave PSG, Osimhen is seen as the ideal replacement for the World Cup winner.

According to elfutbolero.us, if Napoli manages to sign the 24-year-old striker, he could potentially receive a salary of €50 million to become the star player of the team. However, Osimhen is reportedly not keen on a move to Ligue 1.

Osimhen’s impressive performances last season, where he scored 26 goals and provided five assists in 32 league appearances, played a crucial role in Napoli winning the Serie A title for the first time in over three decades. He also became the first African player to win the prestigious Capocannoniere award, given to the top scorer in Serie A.

CelebritiesKemi Olunloyo Warns Davido Of Potential Danger Amid Backlash by edudaniel(op): 10:00am On Jul 26, 2023
By Daniel Edu

Investigative journalist,
Kemi Olunloyo
, has issued a warning to Nigerian singer
Davido
amidst heavy backlash he's been receiving from the Muslim community. In a post on her Instagram page, Olunloyo advised the singer to leave the country, claiming to have credible information that threats against him are real.

Olunloyo urged Davido to ignore his fans and flee the country with his artist. She emphasized that the threats are genuine and not to be taken lightly. She expressed concern that if anything were to happen to him, those fans who currently criticize him would be the first to mourn his loss.

The backlash against Davido arose after he promoted a music video by his new signee, Logos Olori. The controversial video featured scenes in a Mosque-like setting where men in white Jalabiya were shown praying before switching to dancing and reciting Quranic verses.

Many Muslims found the video offensive and accused Davido of disrespecting Islamic beliefs and practices, particularly in regards to the use of prayer mats and the mimicry of prayer styles.

Notably, Nobel Laureate Professor Wole Soyinka defended Davido, advising him not to apologize to the Muslim community. Soyinka pointed out past derogatory comments made by politicians against Christians without facing the same demand for an apology.

He also highlighted that it wasn't Davido's music that led to the tragic death of a Christian college student in Sokoto over alleged blasphemy, stressing the importance of distinguishing between artists and the objects of their devotion.

As the controversy continues, Davido remains under scrutiny, and the situation has raised discussions about religious sensitivities and the freedom of artistic expression in Nigeria.

In a recent diary session with Biggie, Big Brother Naija 'All-Stars' housemate Angel Smith expressed her disagreement with past BBNaija winners, including Miracle Igbokwe, Laycon, and Whitemoney. According to Angel, she believes that these male winners did not deserve to emerge victorious in their respective seasons.

Miracle Igbokwe won the BBNaija Season 3 in 2018, Laycon emerged as the winner of Season 5 in 2020, and Whitemoney claimed the victory in Season 6 in 2021. In contrast, the runner-ups in those seasons were women: Cee C, Dorathy Bachor, and Liquorose, respectively.

Angel argued that the women contestants brought more drama and impressive outfits to the show, and in her opinion, they should have been the rightful winners.

Angel Sparks Controversy with Remark on Banning Babies and Toddlers from Flights

In another instance, Angel Smith stirred up online reactions after suggesting that babies and toddlers should be banned from boarding flights. In a tweet on her Twitter account, the reality TV star expressed her belief that parents should travel without their young children due to the disturbances they might cause with their noise.

Her tweet read, "They need to ban babies/toddlers from being able to board flights. Leave those noisy coco felons at home."

It's important to note that these are Angel's personal opinions and may not reflect the views of others. Her comments on both the BBNaija winners and the travel issue have sparked discussions and debates online.

Fashion7 Summer Fashion Trends To Watch Out For by edudaniel(op): 10:58am On Jul 17, 2023
By Daniel Edu

As fashion month approaches, it's time to anticipate the trends that will dominate the upcoming spring/summer season. The fashion industry has been oscillating between blingy and logomania styles, but it appears that designers are now finding a middle ground. Trends tend to evolve rather than completely shift, so expect a progression of current trends for the Spring/Summer 2023 season.

One trend to watch out for is denim on denim, which is gaining versatility with denim bralettes, corsets, skirts, and even bikinis in colors like green, yellow, or orange. Another trend is the shift from jorts (jean shorts) to lorts (long shorts) in slimmer fits, various fabrics, colors, and prints that can be dressed up or down.

Grunge-inspired fashion from the 2000s is making a comeback, with a revamp of the aesthetic that trades in Barbiecore for edgier and sultrier styles. Dresses over pants are also gaining popularity, allowing for eclectic layering combinations and endless possibilities with different dress and pant styles.

The fashion landscape is becoming more inclusive and diverse, encouraging sartorial self-expression. Mixing dresses and pants creates unique and individualistic looks, whether it's pairing a netted dress over a bralette and jeans or combining a long tunic dress with trousers.

As the fashion shows unfold, more trends for the Spring/Summer 2023 season will emerge. Keep an eye out for these exciting fashion developments and get ready to embrace the latest styles.

CelebritiesPastor Adeboye Addresses Allegations Of Sourcing Powers From Demons In Redemptio by edudaniel(op): 10:50am On Jul 17, 2023
By Daniel EduPastor E.A Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has responded to allegations suggesting that he derives his powers from demons in Redemption Camp.

During his sermon on Sunday, July 16th, Pastor Adeboye acknowledged the circulating reports about the source of his powers.

Rather than engaging directly with the accuser, he chose to pray for the individual, recognizing that they have committed an unpardonable sin.

Pastor Adeboye explained that attributing the glory meant for God to demons is an unforgivable offense.

To support his statement, he cited biblical examples and reiterated his intention to pray for the person spreading such rumors.

He said, "Recently, I heard someone claiming that Pastor Adeboye obtains his power from demons at Redemption Camp. People asked if I would respond, but I decided that we should pray because this individual is committing an unpardonable sin. When someone starts giving the glory of Jesus Christ to demons, we should pray for them."

During the 70th Annual Convention of the church along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Pastor Adeboye also shared a personal experience from last year.

He revealed that some people mocked him when he lost his son, Dare, in May 2021.

Amid the sadness and questions, Pastor Adeboye received a text message from one of his daughters that simply said, "Daddy, let God carry you."

He expressed how this message brought an end to his sorrows and renewed his faith.

Dare, Pastor Adeboye's third child, passed away on May 4, 2021, in Eket, Akwa Ibom State, where he resided with his family.

Dare served as the Assistant Pastor in charge of Region (Youth) 35 and was a father to three daughters.

PoliticsTinubu Declares State Of Emergency On Food Security, Plans 500,000 Hectares Of F by edudaniel(op): 10:03am On Jul 14, 2023
In response to the increasing food inflation following the removal of fuel subsidy, President Bola Tinubu has declared a state of emergency on food security in Nigeria. He has also directed that all matters related to food and water availability and affordability be included in the purview of the National Security Council.

To address the situation, immediate measures will be taken, including the release of fertilizers and grains to farmers and households to mitigate the effects of the subsidy removal. This was revealed by Dele Alake, the Special Adviser to the President on Special Duties, Communications, and Strategy, after consultations with key stakeholders in the agricultural sector at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

Alake emphasized that while food availability is not a problem, affordability has become a major issue for many Nigerians. This has resulted in a significant drop in demand, undermining the entire agriculture and food value chain. The government intends to use some of the savings from the fuel subsidy removal to revamp the agricultural sector, with a focus on doubling the percentage of employment in agriculture from 35.21% to about 70% in the long term.

Immediate interventions will include the release of fertilizers and grains, and a synergy between the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Water Resources to ensure adequate irrigation of farmlands and year-round food production. The government plans to utilize 11 out of Nigeria’s 12 river basins for irrigation schemes, guaranteeing continuous farming production throughout the year.

To regulate food prices, the government will establish a National Commodity Board that will review and assess food prices while maintaining a strategic food reserve. This board will help stabilize critical grain prices and moderate fluctuations. The government will also engage its security architecture to protect farms and farmers, ensuring their safety and enabling them to return to their farmlands without fear of attacks.

Regarding livestock farming, the government will partner with states to create ranches and grazing reserves. The Federal Government will cover the cost of land for these ranches, and land banks nationwide, totaling 500,000 hectares, will be activated to increase the availability of arable land for farming.

Anite, a member of the Presidential Advisory Council, clarified that the distribution of grains to farmers and households would be free of charge, funded by the savings from the fuel subsidy removal. The Central Bank of Nigeria has also advised middlemen withholding grains to release their supplies, as prices are expected to fall when the government begins distributing grains.

Additional details have surfaced regarding the alleged attack on musicians Bella Shmurda, Odumodublvck, and T-Dollar. The incident reportedly took place during a show organized by dancer Poco Lee at Lagos State University (LASU).

According to reports, while Bella Shmurda was assaulted, Odumodublvck was chased by suspected cultists. Videos circulating online captured Odumodublvck running away from the scene, while Bella Shmurda was escorted out of the university by security personnel.

Further information reveals that the incident occurred on Thursday, July 13, during the concert at LASU's main auditorium. The event was reportedly going smoothly until suspected cultists arrived and caused chaos. The motives behind the attack remain unknown.

Eyewitnesses at the event have provided different accounts of the incident. One Twitter user named Olamide claimed that the organizers had sold more tickets than the hall's capacity, resulting in many students being unable to enter. This led to a commotion among the students, which escalated into violence.

According to Olamide's account, over 200 students who had purchased tickets were stranded outside the venue. They insisted that the artists should not perform if they were denied entry to the show they had paid for. This alleged dissatisfaction with the organizers' greediness was said to have triggered the altercation.

The incident highlights the challenges faced by artists and event organizers in ensuring the safety and security of attendees at concerts and shows.
