Nairaland / General / Man Divorces Wife For Sleeping With Judge To Set Him Free From Jail by Mariam0217u: 9:39pm On Dec 08, 2021
A man in Jos has divorced his wife of 12 years over allegations that she slept with a judge in order to free him from jail. A relation of the woman who spoke to YeyeNews.com under condition of anonymity accused the man of being ungrateful after all the sacrifices his sister had made to get him out of jail. “My sister was by his side throughout his ordeal. He could have been sentenced to at least 20 years for defrauding a traditional ruler if not for his wife that did everything to get him out. Now the ingrate is accusing her of sleeping with the judge to secure his release. I don’t understand what she sees in this man”.


The husband has however countered the claims of his brother in law. He alleged that his wife agreed to sleeping with the judge when he confronted her. “She didn’t deny seeing that judge. They met in an hotel close to UniJos and I have my facts. Nobody should tell me she did it to secure my release. I never asked her to do such a thing. Besides, I am innocent of the accusations against me and the police couldn’t produce a single witness to support their charges. So it was just a matter of time I would have been freed”, he recounted.

Politics / Nnamdi Kanu To Be Released, Set To Join APGA by Mariam0217u: 9:17pm On Dec 08, 2021
The detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu (MNK) may be released soon following negotiations with the government being brokered by some elders of the southeast, a source familiar with the happenings told YeyeNews.com. The source reiterated that the negotiations centered on MNK renouncing his demand for secession of the southeast and for him to join a political party to champion the struggle for regional autonomy within the federation.



“Some of the conditions is that he should join a political party. He will also not travel out of the country for the next two years. Though some people in the government side are lobbying that the condition should stipulate he joins the APC, hoping that the move will improve the party’s fortune in the southeast. They insist President Buhari is doing a great favor to him which should be reciprocated by joining the president’s party. But it seems MNK’s people are more inclined to him joining APGA”.

Nairaland / General / Petition To Change The Spelling Of ‘lie’ To ‘lai’ Gathers Momentum by Mariam0217u: 2:52am On Dec 07, 2021
An online petition calling for the change of the spelling of ‘lie’ to ‘lai’ is gathering traction. The petition seeks to recognize the embodiment of falsehood and distortion that has become the hallmark of Nigeria’s Minister of Information and Culture whose first name is ‘Lai’, the petitioners argued.





“Most English words have their origins in earlier languages and their meanings and spellings have evolved over time as circumstances change. And it is not unheard of for events, concepts and processes to be named after individuals whose characters embody the essence of the concepts. This petition therefore follows the historical process of evolution of words. The name ‘Lai’ has come to embody the essence of falsehood which naturally constituted the descriptive meaning of the word ‘lie’. The substitution is already in full use in Nigeria and is spreading fast to other African nations through the instrumentality of the social media. We therefore request your consideration to approve ‘lai’ as an alternate spelling for ‘lie’ in the list of lexicons in your dictionary”, part of the petition to Webster dictionary reads.

Nairaland / General / Garba Shehu Blasts Forbes For Overlooking Buhari To Name Nana Akufo-addo As Afri by Mariam0217u: 2:45am On Dec 07, 2021
Special Assistant to the Nigerian president Alhaji Garba Shehu has criticized Forbes Magazine for its choice of Ghanaian president Nana Akufo-Addo for the African of the Year 2021 Award. The magazine announced the choice of Mr. Akufo-Addo for the award in its latest edition noting that the Ghanaian president has “repositioned the country in the global marketplace as one reliant on its own resources and strength… and for consistently being one of the world’s fastest growing economies”.





But Mr Garba Shehu while reacting to the award by Forbes questioned the rationale behind the choice of President Nana Akufo-Addo for the award. “Who is Akufo-Addo to win such award where there is President Buhari? Ghana that has a GDP the size of Lagos cannot compare to Nigeria that President Buhari has taken from a nearly failed state to become the largest economy in Africa. It is clear Forbes was misled and we know those responsible”. He however declined to mention names of those responsible for misleading Forbes.

The Norwegian Prime Minister has begged President Buhari to lift the ban on the importation of okporoko (stockfish) as it is seriously affecting the economy of the country. YeyeNews.com gathered that Nigeria is the largest importer of Norwegian okporoko which is an important source of protein in many Nigerian homes. But the government of President Buhari has since placed the stockfish on the list of items blacklisted from accessing forex for importation.



The Norwegian PM pleaded with President Buhari to remove stockfish from the list during a phone conversation on Tuesday, a source in the presidential Villa disclosed to YeyeNews reporter. The source said that “the Norwegian PM literally cried while begging President Buhari to lift the ban on okporoko saying his country’s economy depends greatly on the exportation of the product to the Nigerian market. The PM expressed his worries about the declining fortune of his country’s economy as a result of the difficulties in exporting okporoko to Nigeria. The unemployment level in Norway has increased significantly and the country’s GDP has plunged since the restriction on okporoko importation”.

Politics / Buhari Snubs Tinubu, Osibanjo, Yahaya Bello, Chooses His Successor From Southeas by Mariam0217u: 8:44am On Nov 01, 2021
There is concern in the presidency over President Buhari’s persistent refusal to support any of the current known presidential contenders in APC to succeed him in 2023. A source at Aso Rock told YeyeNews.com reporter that the president is insisting he will only support a candidate from the southeast to succeed him.



“The president is bent on a candidate from the southeast but he doesn’t want any of them from his cabinet.

Politics / Free Food Kayode: They No Longer Invite Me For Dinners – FFK Cries Out by Mariam0217u: 8:35am On Nov 01, 2021
Femi Fani Kayode who recently defected to the ruling APC has started complaining about being ignored by the party leaders who did everything to woo him to their fold, a source has revealed to YeyeNews.com. President Buhari had received Mr. Fani Kayode at the State House when he was presented by the chairman of the party’s Caretaker and Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee, Gov. Mai Bala Buni.



“After the president received FFK at the villa, nobody has invited him to any party meeting. Even his state chapter of the party rejected him and the national leadership did nothing about it. The shocking part is the cold shoulder he has received from the party leaders who initially promised that he would play important roles in major decision making once he joins the party. Now no one has even invited him to a dinner. The man is not happy”, the source said.

Slay queens in Nigeria has described the arrest of one of their members in Bayelsa State by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) as a clear case of bias against them.

Speaking to YeyeNews.com, the national coordinator of the Association of Slay Queens and Slay Mamas, Miss kingston Annabel, expressed surprise at the speed with which the DSS carried out the arrested. “It took the DSS less than 48hrs to locate and arrest Charlotte. But they are still dragging their feet as the blackmailers of our dear Tiwa Savage are having a field day sharing her sex tape. It is obvious that the way the DSS handle matters like this depends on whether the victim is male or female. The former elicit prompt response while the latter is just left to sob in their beds.

Nairaland / General / Inflation Rate High Because Buhari Has Improved The Living Standards Of Nigerian by Mariam0217u: 11:10pm On Oct 21, 2021
The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) has said that the high rate of inflation is because the disposable income in the hands of Nigerians has increased significantly since Buhari became president. The NBS made the claim in their monthly inflation report for October.



“The disposable income of Nigerians have steadily increased in the past six years as a result of the massive employment created by the government. Nigerians now have so much money in their pockets and the amount of goods in the market has not increased commensurately. Too much money chasing after fewer goods is what is driving the prices up”, they wrote in the report.

Religion / Adults Prayers Not Enough – We Need Children To Pray For Akwa Ibom State, Says E by Mariam0217u: 10:25pm On Oct 21, 2021
Just few days after an undergraduate student of the University of Uyo publicly condemned Akwa Ibom Children Prayer Network (AKCPRAN) Facebook as an example of “religious lunacy”, Executive Chairman of the Ethical and Attitudinal Reorientation Commission (EARCOM), Dr Dorothy Thompson has defended the project and rubbished the student’s words.

EARCOM on Friday, October 15, launched the Akwa Ibom Children Prayer Network, AKC-PRAN, with the theme, “The Necessity of Living in the Fear of God” in Uyo, and the chairman predicted that this project would ignite a revival as the children gathered to pray. In her address, she quoted Psalms 8:2: “Out of the mouth of babies and infants, God has ordained strength,” and said that EARCOM initiated the program in line with the call of the wife of the President of First Ladies across the states to hold prayers for the nation. However, a student of University of Uyo, who is also a popular Facebook influencer went to Facebook and publicly condemned the project as useless and that the government should be building schools for children instead of gathering them to pray.

With a budget of about N301,138,860 for food, President Buhari will be doing nothing else but eat in 2022. This figure was contained in the 2022 budget document presented to the National Assembly.

The actor wrote on his Internet blog, The Ways of Real Men with Jim Iyke: “Real men do not let women fool them with fake names and wrong phone numbers. Don’t ask for name and number just like that. What you get may turn out to be fake because there are lots of Natashas out there ready to make a fool of you. There is a simple foolproof method against any Natasha you encounter. Open your mobile banking app and request to transfer some money to her. A woman will never give you a fake bank account. Through the account number you will get the name that her father gave to her at birth. As you are in it, also offer to recharge her phone. She definitely cannot give you a wrong number. No be for this Naija. It’s a win win for everybody.”

“Gumi does not believe that the winners have done much in promotion of world peace to deserve the award. He wonders how people that sit behind their computers to criticize governments can be deemed to have promoted peace more than someone who is risking his life to go into the lair of armed bandits to negotiate the release of kidnapped school children and convince the bandits to accept an amnesty from the government”, Mallam Sule expressed to YeyeNews.com.
