The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) in a statement have declared that instead of suing Falz to court, they would instead report him to appropriate agencies.

Recall that the Muslim group had threatened to sue Falz if he did not take the video down and tender an apology
Falz declined to accede to their demands and MURIC have now decided to move forward with a course of action.

Their statement reads:
The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) last week resolved to sue Folarin Falana (Falz the Bahd Guy), a Nigerian artist, who produced the video song titled ‘This is Nigeria’ in which a Fulani man was seen beheading somebody.

The video also featured hijab-wearing female choreographers dancing the ‘shaku-shaku’ (a dance associated with drug). A seven-day ultimatum was given for the withdrawal of the video and an apology failing which a legal tussle would be launched.
Our office has since been inundated with solidarity visits, while our telephone lines have been flooded with a deluge of calls from members, friends, well-wishers, journalists and other concerned Nigerians, majority of whom are of the Islamic faith.

In view of the intervention of these well-meaning Nigerians, counseling from several quarters and commitments given by us to those who interfaced with us on this matter, an emergency meeting of MURIC’s Think-Tank was convened on Sunday, June 10, 2018 to review the situation.

In deference to pleas made by well-meaning Nigerians, in order to keep faith with our avowed motto (Dialogue, Not Violence) and to further confirm that MURIC is a listening, mature and responsible organization committed to promoting peace in Nigeria, the Think-Tank resolved to drag the artist to government agencies saddled with the responsibility of censoring films and videos. It is not a U-turn but a sudden change in tactics.

This will have a more enduring impact not only on Falz but the entire entertainment industry .

What a man can do, a woman can do better...right?! LOL!!!
Shocking photos of a nursing mother with her baby on her back in a bet shop somewhere in Lagos has gone viral.

A young man has taken to social media to reveal his surprise after spotting a nursing mother at a betting shop in Surulere area of Lagos.

The pictures show the woman confirming and placing her bets in the bet shop. This is a odd because women are not usually found in bet shops across the country, not to imagine a woman who has just given birth.

The picture has since drawn various reactions since it emerged online. Some internet users have hailed the woman for looking for another stream of income in this ‘hard economy’.

It has been reported that many residents of Owerri, Imo state capital trooped out with their buckets and gallons this morning after a tanker carrying Kerosene product fell down along Port-Harcourt road.

Apparently not caring for their own lives, the residents came out to scoop the kerosene which was spilled all over the ground following the accident.

However, a timely intervention by the Commissioner of Public Safety, his team, the Fire Service Men and Police, helped to bring back sanity to the area.
With their assistance, the area was cordoned off to avoid any tragedy resulting from the surge of people scooping the product.

The emergency officials evacuated the spilled products and controlled the crowd of residents.

13 Nigerians and a Filipino accomplice allegedly behind an “online scamming syndicate” that victimized Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) and other nationalities have been arrested by The Philippines police during raids conducted overnight in Imus City in Cavite province on Sunday.

Imus City police chief Supt. Audi Madrideo said members of what he described as an “online syndicate” would create fraudulent Facebook accounts, with stolen photos and profiles, and pose as members of the United States military.

Emmanuel Nnandi, one of the alleged group leaders, was arrested in an entrapment operation around 7:30 p.m. Sunday, in a money transfer outlet in Barangay (village) Tanzang Luma 2.

Nnandi led authorities to other members of the group who were consequently collared from three apartments. Police found out that the Nigerians had entered the country using student visas.

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has asked rapper Folarin Falana aka Falz to withdraw his ‘This is Nigeria’ video and apologise to Muslims for using girls dressed in Hijab in the video or face legal action within the next 7 days. .
.
Falz has explained that he used the ladies in Hijab to push more awareness about the Chibok girls still in Boko Haram captivity and the need to rescue them as soon as possible.
.
.
Their statement reads:
“MURIC rejects Falz’ explanation that the girls in hijab in his ‘Shaku Shaku’ dance symbolize the Chibok girls because nothing in the video indicates that the girls represent the Chibok girls.
At least none of the Chibok girls have been seen dancing like a drunkard.

They are always in pensive mood. Do they have any cause to be dancing? Are they happy? The video manifests ethnic bias against Fulanis while it ignored the criminal activities of ethnic militia of the Middle Belt who have also massacred Fulanis and rustled their cattle in their thousands. It is a hate video.

This video has the potential of causing religious crisis of unprecedented dimension. It is an assault on the self-dignity of every Muslim. It is freedom of expression gone haywire.

We therefore demand its withdrawal and an apology to Nigerian Muslims within seven days or the authors and their agents will face legal action if they fail to comply.
Only the scenes portraying police brutality and the money-swallowing snake in the video are near the truth.” the statement read

The group called on the National Film And Video Censors Board (NFVCB) to ban the video.”

The Health Minister gave the directive at a press conference in Abuja to mark the 2018 World No-Tobacco Day today June 4th.

“Let me stress that the ban on tobacco products with characterising flavours is still in place and the ban includes shisha because it has flavour. I, therefore, urge the Consumer Protection Council and the law enforcement agencies to intensify arrest of defaulters.” he said .

According to the British Heart Foundation, Shisha smoking is a way of smoking tobacco, sometimes mixed with fruit or molasses sugar, through a bowl and hose or tube.

The actress a graduate of English and Literary Studies from University of Calabar, revealed that when she meets the ”right” man she would be ready to date and eventually tie the knot.

“I’m single and not searching, but I won’t lie to you, I miss being cuddled at nights. It has been so cold lately. Sometimes my pillow is my only comfort.

“I’ll be ready to date and eventually marry when I meet the man of my dreams. He must be God fearing, caring and understanding. His pockets must also be intact. He should know that being disrespectful turns me off in a relationship, and on the other hand, honesty turns me on.”

The Commissioner of Police in Lagos, Edgal Imohimi, on Friday said six out of ten young people are cultists in Lagos.

The police boss, who expressed sadness over the rising cases of cultism among youths in Lagos, called for a state of emergency on cultism.

Imohimi spoke at a town hall meeting with some residents of Surulere area of the state.

The forum had as theme: “ Partnership with Community for Crime Prevention.’’


“I instructed one of my officers to carry out a research on the reason for increase in cultism among the young ones, and it was revealed that it gives them a kind of advantage over their peers.

“For some, they joined to avoid being intimidated. Whatever reason it is, the blame is on us parents for not caring enough about our children,” he said.

Imohimi commended residents of Surulere for their support to crime fighting and criminality, adding that there had been reduction in criminal activities in the area.

Shina Peller made his declaration known hours ago online.

He wrote;

"My people, after a deep thought, reflection and extensive consultations, I have decided to formally declare my intention to represent the Iseyin, Itesiwaju, Kajola, Iwajowa federal constituency at the house of representatives in 2019.

I appreciate the advise and concern from well wishers and mentors who are worried that going into politics will be detrimental to my business interests which I have worked so hard to build over the last two decades but I think the time for social media and arm chair politics is over. We need to take our destiny into our own hands for the sake of Nigeria, for the sake of our children, and the less privileged in our society.


My focus in politics will be to ensure that institutions work and people can benefit from government services irrespective of class or social status.

I want to help create policies that will help diversify our economy with a renewed focus on tourism, manufacturing and youth empowerment.

I encourage all young people to follow my cue and take an active role in partisan politics. This is our time. The time is now.

A Physician , Dr. Ayopo Adeyemi, on Sunday warned women against the use of artificial eyelashes, commonly used to enhance beauty, in view of its grievous consequences.
.
Adeyemi told the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos that the health implications of fixing false eyelashes included corneal abrasions or ulcers, damage of the natural eyelashes, and eye sensitivity, among others.
.
She said that fixing of artificial eyelashes had become an increasingly popular trend in the fashion world, as most ladies, regardless of the health implications, seek perfection and glamour. .
.
According to her, natural eyelashes have their natural way of preventing dirt, sweat, bacteria and other foreign materials from entering into the eyes by trapping and keeping out anything that comes near.
.
Adeyemi, a practitioner at Mushin General Hospital, Lagos, said false eyelashes would accommodate the dirt, thereby causing different forms of allergy and infections.
.
“The use of harmful chemicals on the eyelashes can cause them to fall out quicker than they naturally would and it is also dangerous when tools to be used come in close proximity to the eye.
.
“Artificial eyelashes can cause trauma to the eye either through the glue and other materials used or unprofessional operators. There could be introduction of microbes into the eyes, causing conjunctivitis of all types.
.
“The lashes themselves can cause allergic conjunctivitis trapping and retaining dirt around the eye,” she said. Adeyemi advised ladies to minimise the rate at which they fix false eyelashes if they must retain healthy natural ones.
