Celebrities › Marriage Is Dead, Women Have Turned It Into Poverty Alleviation Scheme— OAP Nedu by onthehill(op): 9:55am On Apr 16, 2023
Radio broadcaster and comedian, Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, a.k.a Nedu has said marriage is dead as women have now turned it into poverty alleviation scheme, IGBERETV reports.

He based his opinion on the recent news about Moroccan footballer, Achraf Hakimi, who outsmarted his ex-wife, Hiba Abouk, in her move to claim half of his wealth through a divorce. The footballer reportedly was kept 80% of his earnings in his mothers name after suspecting his wife would seek divorce in the future.

Nedu argued that many rich women in the world today got their wealth through divorce. He therefore said that women have turned marriage and relationship into a poverty alleviation scheme. He said for example, if a lady told her friends she just got a new boyfriend the next thing they will ask her is, is the guy rich? While if it’s a guy, his guys will only ask if she is beautiful.

The prosecutor, who said investigation into the matter was still ongoing, prayed for an adjournment.

In his statement the suspect confessed that he had a heated argument with his younger sister, and it provoked him to beat her up that much.

The Magistrate, Mrs. Roseline Iyorshe, did not take the plea of Iorfa for want in jurisdiction.

Iyorshe ordered the police to return the case file to the Benue Director of Public Prosecutions for legal advice. She adjourned the case until June 8, for further mention.

Man Slumped And Died As Thugs Invaded His Home During Lagos Governorship Election

An elderly man, Simon Maduekwe, has died from the shock he suffered after suspected political thugs invaded his residence on Fatomi Crescent, Off Bajulaiye Compound, Shomolu, Lagos State, IGBERETV reports.

Late Maduekwe and other residents of the area who cast their votes for their preferred candidate in the Lagos governorship election learnt that some political thugs warned voters against voting for another candidate other than their preferred candidate. Late Maduekwe left the polling unit for his house after casting his vote.

His son, Chuka, said his late father was at home when one of the political thugs, while subjecting some of the voters to different forms of intimidation and suppression, spotted a resident capturing the moments on his mobile phone. The political thug, thereafter, raised the alarm which attracted the attention of his accomplices and Chuka said they gave the resident, who firmly held onto his phone, a hot chase. In a desperate attempt to escape, the aggrieved son said the yet-to-be-identified resident ran into his father’s residence, adding that thugs chased after him.

Chuka explained that Maduekwe, who was not aware of what had transpired outside his home, upon sighting the thugs on his premises, thought they were there to attack him for voting against their preferred candidate, adding that his father slumped at the sight of the hoodlums coming towards him.

“My dad had gone to vote as early as 8am because the polling unit was in front of our compound on Fatomi Crescent, Off Bajulaiye Compound, Somolu, Lagos State. That morning, there was noise at the polling unit as suspected thugs were threatening people to vote for their party, and scaring away those not willing to do their bidding. We also heard them shouting at a particular guy making a video of them. When they sighted the guy, they started chasing him, so he ran straight into our compound, and into our apartment. My dad was standing at the door and as the guy and the thugs ran towards him, he collapsed.

Immediately, we tried to revive him but couldn’t, so, we rushed him to the Somolu General Hospital and a nurse confirmed to us that he was dead. My dad had high blood pressure and has not been doing business for over a year as we have been doing all to keep him alive but he died because of the incident during the election.”he said

Chuka, while lamenting over the incident, said his mother had been traumatized by the development.

“My family has been mourning over the incident. My mum is just trying to get hold of what happened, we never anticipated that this election will take him away from us,” he said.

An eyewitness, Samson Duru, described Maduekwe, 68, as a peaceful man who always warned youths against illicit activities during the election period, adding that the deceased was among the people cautioning the thugs against tampering with the election process in the area.

“The man was shouting at one of the thugs to leave the polling unit and allow people to vote for the candidate of their choice before he left for his house. The whole incident happened some minutes after. He is such a peaceful man who does not like trouble; I pray that his family will be able to bear their loss.”

A 60-year-old man, Aminu Danmaliki, accused of marrying an 11-year-old girl in Kano State, has spoken out about the rumour, IGBERETV reports.

The wedding video recently went viral on social media, with people claiming he married an 11-year-old girl, which they condemned, claiming that underage girls should be protected rather than married off to old men.

Danmaliki, via his Facebook page on Wednesday, claimed that his wife is 21 years old and not 11 years as people claimed on social media.

He wrote,

“My recent marriage with Sakina has generated a lot of tension and unfounded allegations that I married an underage girl some suggesting she is 11 years old and that she was forced to marry me. That is untrue.

“The wedding video went viral. We decided to keep mute but were advised to state the true facts. Here it is: My beloved wife is 21 years old she made her own choice of me as her husband, and I loved her too.

“I hope the blackmailers and doubting Thomas's will see the reality in this picture and leave us alone to enjoy our honeymoon.”

Lagos Police Dismisses Claims Of Widespread Voter Suppression And Violence In Lagos Guber Election

The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Idowu Owohunwa, has dismissed reports of widespread acts of violence and voter suppression in the state governorship election held on Saturday, March 18, IGBERETV reports.

Speaking in an interview with Channels TV, Owohunwa confirmed the attacks on voters and electoral officers recorded at some Lagos polling units, saying, “It is true that we’ve recorded instances of violence in some areas within the state.” He however added that the incidents were “not as widespread as to affect the general dynamics of the process”.

According to him, most of the instances were “properly responded to by the police because we anticipated them”.

When asked if the command had anticipated the violence, he said, “Yes, in some instances. As security practitioners, when you plan operations of this nature, you must anticipate that some elements will want to become adversaries in the process. We anticipated and then we integrated that into our general operational plan and we activated that protocol effectively in this instance. Most of those breaches, the police were able to respond promptly.”

Owohunwa also responded to the claims accompanying some viral videos of alleged incidents of ballot box snatching.

Regarding a video of voters supposedly overpowering a young man alleged to have snatched a ballot box, the police commissioner said

“That in itself is illegal; two wrongs cannot make a right.”

He added that contrary to information on social media, the young man is alive, after he was rescued by the police and other security agencies and that the suspected electoral offender was receiving medical attention.

"He’s stable; he’s not dead,” Owohunwa said

The CP noted that the police were compiling cases within the purview, saying “a lot of arrests” and “recoveries” had been made.

“In most of those cases of ballot box snatching, we recovered virtually all the ballot boxes'', he said.

Speaking on reports of disenfranchisement in Eti-Osa Local Government Area (LGA), Owohunwa stated that the area had not presented a major challenge.

“Rather, where we have issues now, I think, is around VGC [Victoria Garden City], specifically anyway, and the issue had to do more with the relocation of the polling units from the within the estate to a location outside the gate,” he said.

“That falls within the mandate of INEC, and when my attention was drawn to it, I drew the attention of the REC to the development. As we speak, he has personally gone to the location and is trying to engage the electorate, so that they can find a common ground.”

Politics › Hold Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour Responsible If Lagos Catches Fire – APC Tells Police by onthehill(op): 6:12am On Mar 19, 2023
The Lagos state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has asked the police to arrest the governorship candidate of Labour Party (LP) in the state, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, over the statement he made on Saturday, about the elections, IGBERETV reports.

In his reaction to several incidents of violence recorded in some parts of the state, Gbadebo expressed displeasure over the election, stating that “if tonight, Lagos catches fire, it is not our fault.”

Reacting to the comment, the APC in a statement released by its publicity Secretary, Seye Oladejo, cautioned Rhodes-Vivour and asked the police to arrest him if Lagos boils.

Below is the statement.

“PRESS STATEMENT

The attention of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been drawn to a statement made by Labour Party (LP) governorship candidate Gbadebo Chinedu Rhodes-Vivour on today’s elections.

He accuses the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the police of “provoking Lagosians” and warning that “if tonight Lagos catches fire, it is not our fault”. He says “a lot of places are still under attack by thugs and hooligans of the APC”.
This scaremongering is typical of bad losers who lack the spirit of sportsmanship.

The security agencies should note Mr Rhodes-Vivour’s threat to set Lagos on fire as his predilection for violence and warmongering is well known to Nigerians. Should there be any breakdown of law and order in any part of our state, law enforcement agencies should know who to grab - Mr Rhodes-Vivour.

We are compiling reports of how APC supporters were harassed and attacked today. Some of the reports are really scary.


Now the LP candidate is playing the victim. This old trick won’t work; discerning Lagosians know they are all lies deployed to attract sympathy. Our party has no need to be violent because we are sure of the glittering credentials of our candidate Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu who will never be associated with violence.

We advise LP and its candidate to embrace peace instead of threatening to bring down the roof on everybody. It won’t work.

Seye oladejo
APC spokesman
