Victim of the group assault in FUTA, Boluwatife Adekunle, recently spoke with Sahara reporters and narrated what led to the assault. Recall some few days ago, a video showing a group of student of the Federal University of Technology (FUTA), Akure, beating up a 100 level student went viral. The victim narrated to Sahara reporters how the whole incidence came to be. According to her, she was assaulted by her colleagues for revealing how one of their boyfriends tried to have an affair with her. “The whole issue started few weeks ago. I and one of the ladies in the video called ‘Faith’ were roommates in a hostel outside campus. Her boyfriend began asking me out but I felt it was not proper for me to date him. I rejected his advances. But instead of him to leave me alone, the guy kept disturbing me, so I had to report him to Faith because I don’t want trouble.”, she said.The victim’s mother, Mrs Florence Adekunle, speaking on the issue says all she wants is justice for her daughter. According to her, “I was in the church on Sunday when her brother called me that they saw Boluwatife in a video and she was beaten up. I can’t imagine how friends would treat a fellow student like this. I’m aware that the school authority and even the police have taken up the matter, all the same we want justice.”continue reading: https://gistcandy.com/assaulted-victim-of-the-futa-incidence-finally-speaks-up/ |

There are reports that Burna Boy’s planned show in South Africa has been canceled amid the controversies surrounding it. It would be recalled that gistcandy reported that South African artistes protested against Burna Boy performing at the show and also queried the exclusion of local artiste at the expense of Nigeria’s Burna Boy who they have accused of inciting hatred against South Africa, in the wake of the recent xenophobic attacks. According to South Africa’s media house, Timeslive, the organizers decided to cancel the show because of the outrage it had created. It also reports that the organizers of the show talked with Burna Boy’s management and decided to withdraw him from the concert and cancel his show. “The decision to cancel the Africans Unite Concert comes after the call from the Tshwane Entertainment Collective to boycott the Africans Unite concert in Tshwane. With the increasing threats of violence from other unfortunate segments of the public and without any government intervention, Phambili Media and Play Network Africa were prompted to take the threats and warnings seriously, as the safety of all artists and attendees could not be guaranteed. We then decided to cancel the concert. The safety of all attendees, artists, and crew comes first,” the statement reads.https://gistcandy.com/burna-boys-south-africa-show-reportedly-cancelled-amid-controversy-sprouting-from-south-african-artistes/

Azeez Fashola known professionally as Naira Marley no doubt has been a great influence not just in Nigeria but also in the world at large. While there are people who believe the Nigerian act is only but a bad influence on individuals, there are still those who have turned the star to being their role model and favorite act. Although, there hasn’t been any clear definition of who as I would like to say, a true Marlian is. However, people have attributed only a few characteristics to what being a Marlian is all about. It includes the “No belt gang, irrational behavior, dropping out of school”. As much as they have been able to coin some terms and definitions to the word Marlian, I am pretty sure and convinced that those who don’t exhibit any of those are even more than the ones who claim to be the true Marlian. visit the link below for full article. https://gistcandy.com/how-i-became-a-marlian-ceo-of-lagos/ |

Joe Abdallah, popularly known as Bad Human Design, joined the BBNaija show midway but during his short stay in the house, his impact was highly felt and recognized by most of the housemates and the viewers at large. Joe was known for his sarcasm and evolving fashion sense. He once had a heated argument with fellow housemate, Tacha, which nearly escalated into a physical fight. Joe’s words provoked Tacha during their exchange, as she hit him on the hand and that fetched them strikes from Big Brother for disobeying the laid down rules of the game. Shortly after, Joe was evicted from the game due to low votes. However, the reality star revealed in an interview on TVC that he received death threats from Tacha’s fans popularly called ‘Titans’. He alleged that her fans sent him death threats after the reality Tv show, Big Brother Naija. The reality TV star also revealed that this would be the first time he would be receiving death threats and he finds the experience funny.

It would be recalled that earlier today, gistcandy reported that the court threw out Busola Dakolo’s case against Biodun Fatoyinbo. However, Busola Dakolo, wife of singer Timi Dakolo, says she will be approaching a superior court after the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory Abuja dismissed her rape case against Biodun Fatoyinbo of COZA this morning, November 14. In a statement released by her lawyer, Pelumi Olajengbesi, Busola refuted claims that Fatoyinbo has been exonerated by the court. Read the statement signed by Olajengbesi below “We have received several calls after the ruling of the high court of the Federal Capital Territory sitting at Bwari this morning seeking our view on the decision of the court, hence, this statement. The court ruled that the matter is statute-barred because the events that crystallised to the cause of action took place 16 years ago and that the claimant Mrs. Busola Dakolo has only six years within which to seek redress in court in line with the statute of limitation. We are mindful of the decision as delivered by the court, presided over by the Hon. Justice A.O Musa. We are equally observant of the fact that the Court omitted to address the cause of action, the subject matter of the suit in determining whether it has jurisdiction to entertain the said matter. “While we acknowledge the time of the court, we know in accordance with the Nigerian judicial system that the Court’s decision is not final as it is glaringly contestable. For all intent and purposes, having seen several sponsored misleading news reports in the media, we are duty-bound to state that ........

With all due respect Sir/Ma, I would like you to keep what you are about to read a secret till forever meets no end. Atiku and I communicated and made plans on how best to bring President Buhari and his crooks down. However, we came up with a decision and a deadly plan. We decided to visit Aso Rock! JOURNEY TO A FARAWAY LAND! On this faithful day, I and Atiku booked a flight as usual, with the mindset of going to dethrone Mr. President in Abuja. So we first ordered an Uber to drop us at the airport. While on our way, Mr. Uber Driver started dozing off while driving us to the airport. But you know what an elderly man would do at first, we warned him and told him to stop sleeping so as not to get us killed but Mr. Driver was still in “Cloud 9” as the speed became even worse while dozing off. At this point, the gentleman spirit I had in me became fed up as I cannot “come and go and kill my self”. Guess what I did? exactly what an elderly man would do. I gave the Uber driver an opportunity to right his wrong by knocking his head by himself but he was joking over it. visit the link below for full content. https://gistcandy.com/leaked-what-atiku-and-i-planned-on-doing-to-buhari-during-2019-eidul-mawlid-celebration/

Kanye West has openly declared he will be contesting for the position of the president of the United States of America while speaking at Fast Company’s Innovation Festival in the US. He has officially reveal his plans to run for the number one position in the United States of America in 2024. His words: “When I run for president in 2024 —” West said, to laughter from the audience. “What y’all laughing at?” I’m not going to run, I’m going to walk. What they’re saying is Kanye’s crazy — one and three African Americans are in jail and all the celebrities are in jail also because they can’t say nothing because they’re so scared,”It was further revealed that he has plans to change his name for a year and I am sure everyone will be surprised on what the new name will be. “When people say it’s crass to call yourself a billionaire, I say I might legally change my name to Christian Genius Billionaire Kanye West for a year until y’all understand exactly what it is, it will be on the license plate,” he said.He further talked about how black voters in the US have been segregated to the demographics. He said he has experienced it as an African American fashion designer. “As black designers out of America, you can’t have an opinion, you can only be the consumer, you can only be a demographic. That a boardroom says ‘this is the black demographic. This is who you’re supposed to vote on,” he continued.. However, Kanye West might just be lucky enough to be the second African American to become president of the United States of America. |

Contrary to old practice where entertainers in Nigeria contributed less in political matters, the social space in the last year, has greatly taken account of a whole lot of Nigerian celebrities engaging in democratic issues. In retrospect to the conversations across social media, this evolution was triggered by the numerous condemnations dished out by their fans who criticized their favorite celebrity for not using their influence in addressing democratic matters across the country. Grieved fans even went as far as establishing comparison between Nigerian entertainers, who constantly hid under the shadow of cowardice, and foreign entertainers, who consistently indulge themselves in defending the people using their social influence. But that has changed! As a matter of fact, the giants of the music industry, in particular, have led and collaborated with parastatals as a representation of their involvement in socio-political matters. In this article, we shall be considering the music Industry as our focal point. More specifically, we would be evaluating some artiste’ involvement and complementing it with a suitable corresponding role if they were politicians. However, the basis for determining their fit in politics was assessed by some variables we considered; their posts on social media, manner with which they lent their voices to matters surrounding the nation, their ability to influence other artists, the kind of authority they wield in the society and most importantly the messages they passed through their songs. But before I begin, our opinions might not conform with yours, so do well to disagree with us in the comment section. PRESIDENT DON JAZZY Over the years, Don Jazzy has proven not just to be a musician and a businessman but also an activist both on social media and in the society. He has always taken the bulls by the horns every time he talks about matters bothering the nation and fearlessly calling out the politicians who have defaulted in one way or the other. For this reason, we would be appointing Don Jazzy as the PRESIDENT. Click on the link below to get the full gist https://gistcandy.com/imagine-your-favouriteartistes-were-politicians/ |
Nigerian Actress, Halima Abubakar has taken to Instagram to support the fact that nothing is wrong in parents checking if their daughter’s hymen has been broken. This is coming after American rapper, T.I broke the internet with a strange news that bares that he goes to the doctor with his daughter, Deyjah Harris, yearly to check if her hymen is still intact. His words: Deyjah’s 18, just graduated high school now and she’s attending her first year of college, figuring it out for herself. And yes, not only have we had the conversation, we have yearly trips to the gynaecologist to check her hymen.However, since the news broke out, most of the social media users have been condemning the act, saying it’s an act of being overprotective, while others feel it’s a good move as it ensures the chastity of the child. Well, Halima seems to be on the supporting side of the argument as she also stated the experience she had with her dad doing the same for her when she was younger. See her post I don’t see any thing wrong in checking , if your daughter is still a virgin. I remember my dad taking me to see diffrent doctors , just to be sure.. He stopped after the 3times. I hated him then a bit. BUT HE IS JUST A FATHER TRYING TO PROTECT HIS STUBBORN DAUGHTER#https://www.instagram.com/p/B4jjQ3znJN8/?hl=en https://gistcandy.com/theres-nothing-wrong-in-checking-if-your-daughter-is-still-a-virgin-halima-abubakar-supports-t-i/

I have decided to release the making of the brown skin girl video despite the consequences. The content you’re about to read is highly prohibited and as such, should be treated with a high level of confidentiality. HOW IT ALL STARTED! I was on my own on this faithful day, cooling off with my cold Pepsi and “Kpomor Sauce” with the mindset of “If I perish, I perish”. I heard my phone ringing so I quickly rushed to check who was calling, lo and behold it was aunty Beyonce, so I picked and said ‘hello’. To cut the long story short, she told me about her plans towards making the video for brown skin girl. I had already begged her in time past to have me featured on it without her knowing my intention is to pay Wizkid back for what he did to my fiance Tiwa Savage earlier on. visit the link below for full details. https://gistcandy.com/leaked-how-beyonce-wizkid-and-i-made-brown-skin-girl-video/ |

Falana, who is their lawyer, said the defendants would be freed later on Wednesday. He said this while asking for an adjournment of the case because the Department of State Service in whose custody the defendants have been detained and from where they were produced in court on Wednesday. He said, “I have already explained to the learned prosecuting counsel that we are encumbered by the refusal of the State Security Service to allow us to prepare for the defence of the defendants. “I had already asked my learned counsel for the prosecution, that we are confident that the defendants will be freed today (Wednesday) from the custody of the SSS having met the bail conditions imposed on them by this honourable court. “Once they are liberated from the custody of the SSS, we will be in a position to take full instruction from them.” Mr. Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika (SAN), who appeared for the second defendant at the Wednesday’s proceedings, also confirmed the development. But the prosecuting counsel, Mr. Hassan Liman (SAN), opposed the application for adjournment because the charges were filed and served on the defendants as far back as September 20. He said the defendants had “ample time and opportunity to prepare for their defence”. Credit: Punchng
