Cancer is a very dangerous thing - It killed both Femi Segun and Tina Onwudiwe. See how they were looking healthy in the NTA morning ride show without knowing that the deadly disease will kill both of them.

“I will never forget Tyna Onwudiwe. While in the village, after my return from overseas, I refused to work although jobs were provided for me. I told my parents that I knew what I wanted.

I wanted to become Charlie Boy. I became Charlie Boy to tell the timid and myopic Nigerians that you have the right to be what you want to be, and that one must not follow only a ‘zombie’ way of thinking and doing things.  Everybody cannot be the same and everybody can’t follow the same way.  You can’t say I am crazy because I wear this, except you too are crazy.

“When in the village for seven years after I returned from America, I insisted that I was going to play music. I told my parents and calmly accepted to go my way when they told me to do so.  It was Tyna who came to rescue me from the village to Lagos. I liked her because she was like a perfect woman.  She encouraged me that I was going to succeed in my venture. There were many people who saw her as a mad woman.  This was the only woman that would spend her last kobo on somebody else. Tyna didn’t want me to waste away in the village, so, she tricked me to Lagos that a recording company was going to wax my music. I was shocked that she had prepared an accommodation for me, with one year rent already paid for. If not for her I would have languished in jail. Man is a God to another man.”

So, going by what is written in the article, the couple are deaf and dumb? How can two deaf and dumb people get married? Does that even make sense??

Nigeria Ore road helicopter 'picked up stroke victim'

A man who was picked up by a helicopter in the middle of a huge traffic jam in Nigeria had suffered a stroke, the helicopter company has told the BBC.

The video from Sunday spread widely on social media, with many speculating it showed a billionaire who had called the helicopter to escape the four-hour long traffic jam.

The video provoked condemnation about the behaviour of Nigeria's super rich.

But the helicopter operator says it is normal to respond to emergency calls.

The video was reposted by many on Instagram:

The luxury brand Julian's Luxury appears to have been one of the first to spread the idea that the video showed a billionaire being rescued from a traffic jam.

"Real Luxury Lifestyle... the Power of Money... picking up a VIP who is stuck in traffic on the Lagos Benin Expressway," it said.

Another rumour that spread was that the helicopter was rescuing the girlfriend of a billionaire.

This theory was put forward by actor Deyemi Okanlawon who went on to condemn the act as "lawlessness".

Three days later, on Wednesday, Nigeria's Civil Aviation authority said that it had launched an investigation into the incident.

Femi Adeniji from Tropical Arctic Logistics Ltd told the BBC that he didn't understand why the video had caused such a fuss.

He said it was normal for their company to respond to emergency situations, as there is no such public emergency service available - and they had done so six times in the last two months.

He said that there was no truth in the speculation that the helicopter was called by a billionaire who wanted to escape the huge traffic jam.

Instead he said that the man had been suffering from high blood pressure and his driver had panicked.

A doctor who was also stuck in the traffic was helping the man and the helicopter was called.

It landed on Ore road which connects the south west to the southern part of Nigeria.

Dr. John and Lady John are the owners of Greenoak International School, Port Harcourt. He is old, retired, re-retired and truly tired. Why now Bubu? He is a tight friend of TY Danjuma. He served under Babangida as the GMD of NNPC. Nigeria is truly going green in order to save the world. Reduce the amount of youth being used, reuse the old men and recycle the ancestors.

There are a lot of misconceptions on this thread, mainly because a lot of people did not read the tweets, but also partly because some people just want to complain.


1) This appointment is only temporary. The law states that the minister of petroleum resources is the chairman of the NNPC board. However, there is no minister at the moment, so Dr Thomas John has temporarily been appointed the chairman of the board until a minister is confirmed by the Senate. Ibe Kachikwu was the chairman of the board until May 29th, but there has been a vacuum since then because there is no minister of petroleum resources.


2) The chairman of the NNPC board is not the chief executive of the NNPC. The chief executive is the group managing director (GMD). President Buhari appointed a new GMD (Mr Kyari) last week.

3) The position of the chairman of the NNPC board is a part-time position. The GMD oversees the day to day operation of the NNPC, not the chairman.


4) Dr Thomas John worked at the NNPC from 1974-1992 when he left the corporation. He has not been at the NNPC continuosly since 1974. He got to the position of GMD before he left the corporation
