Would you like to know the true Medical status of President Muhammad Buhari’s health ?Yes No

There seems to be a never ending war between former Plantashun Boiz group mates, Tuface and Blackface and many people believe it stems from the song, ‘African Queen,’ which Blackface claims Tuface stole from him.At any slight provocation,Blackface seems ready to bash Tuface without the latter responding but that has never hindered Blackface. Recently, Tuface proposed a nationwide protest to kick against the current economic situation Nigerians are facing.While some lauded the idea, others opposed it and Blackface’s voice seems to be the loudest opposition of the initiative. According to a recent interview granted by Blackface, Tuface hasno moral standing to leadsuch a protest.WhenSaturday Beatsreached out to the third member of the group, Faze, he said that he had tried his best to reconcileboth parties but all to no avail. He added that he is tired of trying and wants to focus his energy on hiscareer.Faze said, “I read all whatBlackface said about Tuface and what I would advise is that this is 2017.Things have to be different. I don’t want to talk about the issues between both of them. Blackface should go about things the way he wants and Tuface shouldalso do the same. What I just want is for peace to reign. I have made several attempts to iron out the issues between them. I have been going up and down trying to mediate peace between them but all to no avail. I am tired of doing that. Right now, I am working on my project. My album is due to be out very soonand that is what I want to focus my energy on.”While commenting on theplanned protest, he took a stand with Tuface. “We all know how the government and economy is, so I think that the proposed protestby Tuface is not a bad idea but it all depends on how he goes about it. What really matters is how he goes about it. It depends on Tuface and his strategy. I want to believe that he has the proper plans and he is ready because he is going to gather people from all corners of Nigeria. He should make an attempt and if it worksout for everybody, fine. However, staging a protest is not as easy as he thinks. It depends on who is supporting him. I know that some government officials maynot want to lend their support. Those that have been given money in the past may not want to support and we know these people,” he said.@punchng.com

Social media users have expressed their disdain for a heavily decorated smartphone that costs a fortune.The much-derided smartphone was developed in collaboration with the Forbidden City museum, Beijing.Called the Titanium Palace Edition, the mobile phone is expected to be on sale January 2017,with a price tag of 19,999 yuan ($2,880; £2,326; N907,200).While the phone contains no actual titanium,it is equipped with 18-carat gold dragon decoration and a screen madefrom sapphire glass, reports People’s Daily on its Weibo social media account.Reports say the gem-laden device comes in alimited run of 999 devices, and was designed in partnership with the Palace Museum, having been inspired by the imperial collections it houses.But the phone’s overdecorationhas attracted hated comments from Chinese social media users.One user described it as“a stain on the sacredness of the Imperial City;”while another Weibo user said,“I always picture the Ancient Emperor strolling through the Forbidden City holding a smartphone.”http://naijaloaded.

One week after he was arrested by the police, Abubakar Babalola,an Ireland deportee, suspected tohave stabbed his father to death and attempted to kill his mother, yesterday confessed to the crime.Babalola, who was paraded yesterday by the Lagos State Police Command, attributed his act to his angst over his parents’ decision to allegedly use him for rituals.According to the suspect,Quote“my father got what he wanted. He started it all. I was living in the United Kingdom when he used black magic to bring me back to Nigeria and he locked me up in the house.“I don’t know what they intended to do with me. They called some native doctors to do some rituals with red oil, which they kept in my room. The native doctors made someincisions on my body and since then, I have not really been myself. I have been seeing strange things and hearing strange voices.“As a religious person, I resorted to God and was praying for my freedom but each time I tried to escape, my father will call miscreants, (area boys) who will beat me up with reckless abandon. Theintimidation was too much and I was looking for any means of escape. One day, I escaped from my room to the kitchen and I took two kitchen knives, which I hid in my pocket for protection.“On that fateful day, while my mother was cooking in the kitchen, I greeted her but she started raining abuses on me. I knew there was trouble because she always was angry.“I went to my father too and hestarted raining curses on me. When I asked what the problem was, he started beating me and as I was tired of his beating, I dipped my hand in my pocket and brought out the knife and stabbed him in the leg.“When he wanted to disarm me, I stabbed him in the stomach and he fell down and my mother started shouting. I threatened her to give me the key to the door so that I could leave. She refused and I stabbed her too. They started it all. They wanted to use me for ritual. I regret my actions anyway but if they did not bring me back to Nigeria, I would have still been in the UK,”he told newsmen.The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, Fatai Owoseni, said the suspect would be charged to court for mother http:// naijapal Com

Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti state has said that negative prophecies against him will always fail because he is God’s project.According to him, whatever God has purposed for him could not be altered bymere wishes of men, Vanguard reports.Fayose says negative prophecies against him will fail because he is God’s projectFayose made this declaration on Sunday, December 18, in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti state capital, during the annual Christmas Carol Service at the Government House Grounds.His statement comes on the heels of prophecies from some clerics who had predicted that he would be impeached or removed from office in less than a year after his assumption of office.But in a statement from his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Idowu Adelusi, Governor Fayose said that enemies can’t change his destiny.He also warned his aides against betrayal or subversive actions, saying whoever does that would only have himself to blame in the end.Fayose said:“God knows everything andfor Ekiti and her people, we are going forward and with God all things are possible. In January this year, a cleric said I would be removed in 2016 and I am still here by God’s grace. On April 22,2015, somebody said myself and Governor Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo State would be removed from office, but am still here.“My enemies can’t change my destiny. I am God’s project and all that he plans for my life will come to pass, no matter how bitter some people feel. Anybody with a negative prophecy against me and this state will fail. We won’t lose anybattle in Ekiti.“God is bound by His words and will accomplish them.”The governor also urged the people of the state to be positive minded and hopefor a better and brighter futureRecall that a popular prophet in Akure, Ondo state, last year predicted the impeachment of Ekiti and Ondo state governors.Prophet Oladipo, the founder of Faith and Victory Church in Akure who predicted Fayose’s victory last year said God showed him the controversial governor will be removed from office before the year end.Prophet Oladipo insisted that Fayose will be removed from office in six months time and his Ondo state counterpart will be impeached by December.http://naji.com
