A news has broken, with a photo, of a former cultist who was murdered at the wee hours of the night by his former cohorts for an act termed as betrayal and disloyalty.

According to a witness to the ugly event:

"It was terrible when I overheard some serious sound of gunshot and brutal sound of machetes on a guy shouting and screaming …. “I no do again, make una leave me, make una no kill me” around 2am.

“That noise was so terrific to the extent that we could not even come out of our house to see what was happening at New Nyanya, along Keffi/Abuja express way, Nasarawa State.

In the morning as I prepared to go to work…. the dead body is what I met tied on an electric pole"

Nigerian Ambassador To U.S, Ade Adefuye, Dies in Hospital

A former professor of history who served as Nigeria’s ambassador to the United States, Adebowale Ibidapo Adefuye, has died in Washington, DC. He reportedly died at a yet to be disclosed hospital in the USA.

He was recalled to Nigeria after President Muhammadu Buhari was sworn in as President. He was still waiting to hand over to a new ambassador when he suddenly died today.

The historian was in 2010 appointed by former President Goodluck Jonathan as Nigeria’s Ambassador in the US. An outspoken person and fierce defender of Nigeria, the deceased diplomat tackled critics of Nigeria in the US. He vociferously lobbied against Nigeria’s classification as “a country of interest” in America’s terrorism watch list.  

Prior to his appointment to Nigeria’s Embassy in Washington, DC, Mr. Adefuye served as his country’s ambassador to Jamaica (where he was concurrently accredited to Haiti and Belize) from 1987 to 1991.

In 1991, he was appointed Nigeria’s Deputy High Commissioner in the U.K., leaving to work for fourteen years as a Deputy Director at the Commonwealth. On leaving the Commonwealth, the former professor accepted a position as an advisor at the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).

'Federal Republic Of North': APC Attacks Buhari Over Bias Appointments

The appointment of more northerners on Thursday, August 27, by President Muhammamdu Buhari has been greeted with extreme repugnance by leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Buhari, according to a statement by Femi Adesina, special adviser to the president on media and publicity, approved the appointment of Babachir David Lawal from Adamawa state as the secretary to the government of the federation as he also named Abba Kyari from Borno state as his chief of staff.

Other appointments approved by the president, according to the statement, are those of Col. Hameed Ibrahim Ali (retd.) as the new comptroller general of the Nigerian Customs Service; Kure Martin Abeshi, comptroller general, Nigerian Immigration Service; Senator Ita Enang, senior special assistant on National Assembly Matters (Senate); and Suleiman Kawu as SSA on National Assembly Matters (House of Representatives).

This has, however, triggered the ire of leaders of the APC, who in an interview with The Punch, said that the appointments favour only the north, adding that President Buhari was already giving the party a bad name among Nigerians.

A leader of the party who spoke on the condition of anonymity said: “The President does not consult before making most of these appointments and I can tell you that Nigerians are going to term the party and the President as a northern party and the President of Northern Nigeria.”

Another APC leader said: “Though the President did not get much votes from the South-East but we must not neglect the zone in key appointments.

“Even the South-West that supported and was the backbone of the party, what are we giving the zone in appreciation? We need to be careful before the party is destroyed.”

A member of the state executive of APC in a South-West state, said the appointments were biased against the south.

He said: “When President Olusegun Obasanjo took over, you saw balance in appointments as he reflected federal character. President Goodluck Jonathan too reflected a semblance of balance. Buhari is pursuing a northern agenda. This is the same agenda pursued by the late Sir Ahmadu Bello, when everything was pro-North. Buhari made six appointments at a go and five of them are northerners.”

A speaker of one of the Houses of Assembly in the south-west and a member of the APC, who also spoke on condition of anonymity said: “This is shocking. It doesn’t speak well at all. The South-West has been completely neglected and the South-East too. The South-West was neglected during the President Goodluck Jonathan years. The South-West must rise up against this.”

Similarly, an APC chairman in another south-west state, who also spoke on condition of anonymity, said: “This is not good at all. Why should he choose everybody from the North? I am sure he did not confide in anybody before drawing up the list and making the announcement. We will continue to watch. It is condemnable.”

Adding her voice to the appointment controversy, an APC member of the House of Representatives said the leaders of the party in the south-west were shocked by Buhari’s latest appointments.

“He didn’t tell anybody. We are all shocked. The real shocker would be when he is going to appoint ministers. The only thing that would save us is that he is mandated constitutionally to choose from all states, otherwise, he would have chosen all the ministers too from the North.”

Before the yesterday’s appointments, the president had also named only one southerner among the initial nine appointments he made.

The northerners in the first appointments are Lawal Daura; the director-general of the state services, Amina Zakari, acting chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Mordecai Danteni Baba Ladan; the director of the Department of Petroleum Resources, and Alhaji Ahmed Idris, accountant-general of the federation,

Others in the first appointments are Abdulrahman Mani, the president’s chief security officer, Mallam Abdullahi Kazaure, state chief of protocol, Lt. Col. Muhammed Abubakar, aide-de-camp, and Mallam Garba Shehu, senior special assistant on media and publicity,

Only Femi Adesina, the special adviser on media and publicity, from Osun state represents the south-west.

Meanwhile, Nigerians have also reacted to the recent appointments, saying the administration is dominated by northerners.

See What Stardom Has Cost Funke Akindele

Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele, has disclosed since playing the comic Jenifa character in her self-produced movie some years ago, she has found it very difficult to be her real self in life away from the set.

According to Funke, she finds it hard to live her life as Funke Akindele rather than as Jenifa, which she is well known for.

She disclosed her bitterness in fighting within herself to separate her comic character from her real person.

“Well, it’s beginning to affect me now, though it wasn’t like that before because it used to be just a movie.

"When you give me a script for a role in a movie, I get into it and it takes me like three months to get out of it; it’s that bad because I go really deep into it.

"For example, it took me about six months to get out of character in ‘Maami,’ and for ‘Omo Ghetto,’ it took me almost a year to get out of it. For Jenifa, it’s been difficult and no thanks to my fans who always want to see the Jenifa character and not Funke,” she told E-247.

Ini Edo Gives Reasons For Her Failed Marriage

Actress, Ini Edo, was a guest on Channels Television’s Rubbing Minds where she spoke on her failed marriage to Philip Ehiagwina. When asked to address insinuations that her marriage crashed because she picked her career over family and refused to move to the US where her ex resided, Ini Edo said;

 "First of all, I got married early because I wanted to have a family so anybody wouldn’t think that I would want to chose career over family in as much as my career is also very important. Basically there would never be a particular reason. You know how these things work. Its like I said, differences. I mean, incompatibility. Not being able to reach certain compromises or finding common ground.
You know when you’re with someone, even your work partner, if you cannot find common ground or agree on certain things....sighs "she said

Asked if she was too young to get married, Ini said:

"No I don't think I married too soon. I was pretty much of age. Maybe a little in a hurry. I don't think I married too soon,"she said.

Asked whether distance ruined their marriage, she said:

"Being together actually helps in understanding. It creates more platform to understand each other more. Maybe it would have helped. Distance plays a very important role in a relationship, no matter the difference or incompatibility, if you are together a lot, you can find a way to work things out,” she said.

Asked if her ex husband ever complained about her job, a hesitant Ini Edo said

"He met me an actor so I want to believe he was okay with it. Naturally I mean. Of course. My work takes my time. It does take my time. It appears," she said.

Asked if she regrets her crashed marriage, she said:

"I try not to regret my actions so I will say it has been an experience which I have learnt a lot from. It’s made me a stronger person, it’s made me wiser and I think it has actually made me more matured. So I won’t say that I regret anything; I’ll say that I have learnt my lesson," she said.

Read How Buhari Made This Igbo Corper Convert To Islam

 

 

This is no more news that Chukwuma Austin Dike, a Batch C corp member serving in Konshisha Council Area of Benue State got converted to Islam.

But what is news is the reason adduced by the Mbaitoli, Ino State-born Political Science graduate.

 

The youth corps member wrote a letter to Nigerians, explaining the reasons for such conversion and death threats he has been receiving since then.

 

Dike was still serving when he made the conversion to fulfill his Buhari vow. 

 

Dear Nigerians,

 

WHY I JOINED ISLAM

 

My name is Chukwuma Austin Dike. My Islamic name is Mohammed Mustapha. I’m from Mbaitoli Local Government, in Imo state, a graduate of political science from University of Nigeria Nsukka and I am presently serving the nation Nigeria in Konshisha local government in Benue state.

 

The truth is that I have always loved Islam as a kid in the 80’s in Dakata kano I played most times in the masjid (Mosque). I grew up loving the masjid not until my secondary school days when I left kano. To me is like a reunion but to those who saw the headlines, some said that I am dancing the macabre dance of religious cross carpeting, some said Buhari is my God but I say ALLAH IS MY GOD. I join Islam based on CONVICTION and I don’t care about anybody’s interpretation; one with God is in the majority.

 

The vow: there is no controversy at all among those who knew me before May 29 except they decided to lie. I made the vow three times. Firstly, at wanunne camp in Benue state before some Muslim corpers in November 2014. Secondly, early December in my house before my family members and thirdly before the staff of the school I was teaching Government (my PPA) in February this year. Funny enough everybody thought I was joking.

 

What was my vow: Some Muslim brothers during a political argument told me last year authoritatively that Allah has given Buhari victory, no matter how hard the then president tries he will not win. I was flabbergasted! Then I vowed if Buhari wins this forth coming election, I will believe that ALLAH IS THE GREATEST and I will convert to Islam and serve ALLAH as my God. The vow was made before God and man.Thanks to ALLAH that I kept my vow. On the issue of election and general politics Nigerians from the age of 18 and above, if u did not experience anything on the day of the presidential election and May 29 Handover, you are either immature or living a care free life.

 

On my view on Muhammad Buhari today, I rather advise Him to retain the principal of federal character and totally reject the political theory of winner takes it all; it is not healthy for our modern democracy and the political culture of Nigeria. Corruption is a canker worm; it’s like a virus eating Nigeria from the inside it must be treated like Ebola.

 

Having said this Mr President I solicit for general amnesty to all corrupt officers that will return his or her looted fund; because if amnesty can be granted to killing, it can also be granted to corruption. Furthermore, as you intensify your fight against corruption also include tribalism and religious intolerance.

 

NYSC should not be scraped but the allawee should be increased and at least the sum of 200,000 naira should be given to each graduating NYSC member to start a small scale business. This measure to me will reduce unemployment, because already at the camp most corpers had skills acquisition training. May almighty ALLAH grant you Mr President the wisdom to rule Nigeria, by the special grace of ALLAH we shall meet in Aljanah.

 

As a Muslim I have received a lot of death and excommunication threats but in all I thank Almighty Allah for honoring me with Islam, my life and destiny is in the hand of ALLAH. SALAM.

 

– Chukwuma Mohammed Mustapha Dike

Lagos Lady Sets Neighbour’s Son Ablaze

A clergy, one Pastor Matthew Asuquo, has narrated his ordeal in the hands of an alleged notorious woman in his street whom he said is a well-known trouble maker in the area.

Asuquo claims, Jane (the woman) has been fomenting trouble with his family for months. In a few of her attitudes, Jane allegedly stabbed Asuquo’s wife in the head.

Another incident occurred months later when Jane stabbed Asuquo’s daughter in the neck. Previous effort by Asuquo to get Ajeromi Police Command involved in the matter has proved abortive.

Asuquo family alleged that Jane is always released hours after her arrest, as she always ended up confronting the family, while also threatening more troubles and boasting of being untouchable.

The last incident, according to Asuquo family, occurred when Asuquo’s only son, Emma, a 21-year-old, was set ablaze by Jane with help from her husband and her uncle.

Emma is critically lying in the hospital, while the parents are seeking justice through the petition below

People Don’t Know I Have Been Married - Tonto Dikeh

What people may not have known is that controversial actress, Tonto Dike, has been married.

In an interview with Channels TV, Tonto Dike said she has been married longer than people think

“I have been for a very long time.. Just that I kept the secret to myself..and trying to enjoy married life..yea it just came out like 2-3 days ago. One mistake we do is having this very loud announcement on when you have been engaged and everything and its only normal that the media helps you destroy your marriage before you even get into your home. So, privacy is key in my marriage,” she said

Wen asked how being married has influenced her person, Tonto said

“It has changed me a lot I could say. It has. It has changed my perspective of life. It has changed the way I think. For once, it has made me a very happy woman, something that I never used to have. Happiness is everything. If you are not happy, you can never be satisfied with what you have or you can never appreciate all the people. I think it has opened my eyes to be able appreciate people despite the fact that they are who they are. I thank God,” she said

On the perception that she is very controversial, Tonto said

“I am a very straightforward person. I am like a book. I am just very open. I think the controversial part of me is something that the media has put upon me. It’s just unfortunate that sometimes I help them play that role because of anger. I get so angry sometimes and I help them play that role. But never again. I have learnt a lot. Like I said before what marriage has done for me. Marriage has changed my perspective. Now, nobody can push me to being controversial anymore. Sometimes, I handled it really badly ,and sometimes handle it really good. I will say badly because I  responded to negativity and that only just gave an approval that she is a controversial person But I am actually a very sweet loving and godly person. 

‘Controversy is actually very far from me.  I wouldn’t say that I have not experienced controversy from a very early age. I have. Even in secondary school when everybody thought I was the bad girl meanwhile I was the only virgin out of my school. Although I just like to hang around men rather than female and they just have this idea in their head. Oh I like wearing short skirts rather than long skirts. I have always had that thing with misconception. Only those who are very close to me understand me. I have been very stubborn about people understanding me. Like I don’t care if you understand me,” she said

How Ex-Abia Gov, T. A. Orji, Impregnates B. B. Apugo’s Daughter ...Set To Abandon Wife, Odochi

Igbere TV can authoritatively confirm that the ex-Governor of Abia State and now a senator of the federal republic, Chief T. Orji, has abandon his long standing wife Chief Odochi Orji for a younger lady that is presently pregnant for him.
The pregnant lady is the daughter of another prominent Umuahia politician, Chief B. B. Apugo and we hear she works in a bank.
A well known aide to former Governor T. A. Orji recently posted on his Facebook page that Odochi Orji denied the rumour going round that her husband abandoned her.
According to him: “Wife of former governor of Abia state, lady Odochi Orji, has debunked the rumours making the rounds that senator Orji has married a second wife. Speaking at the Ibeku Women Conference, she said ….. Ochendo loves me, those who are saying my husband has married a second wife should bury their faces in shame, its all lies. They said I have run away, being here today shows that i am with my husband”.

Igbere TV  also heard that the governor is ready to take the lady as a second wife and has sent several emissaries to plead with chief Apugo, who is threatening fire and brimstone, to accept him as a son in-law.

Real Reason Why Kylie’s Sisters Are Against Her Pregnancy

After news broke that Kylie Jenner is two months pregnant for boyfriend, Tyga, her big sisters, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian, are reportedly as shocked as her 30+ million fans and had to hold an intervention.

One thing is certain; Kylie’s big sisters aren’t behind Kylie having a baby with her 25-year-old boyfriend. They have tried to get her to see what they think is a big mistake! They are apparently upset at Kylie’s baby bombshell, and are unsupportive of her becoming a mother at 18.

Kourtney and Khloe, along with sister, Kim Kardashian, believe that Kylie is moving way too fast in her relationship with Tyga, and news of her alleged pregnancy, as reported by Life&Style, only cemented that belief.

"Khloe and Kourtney actually tried to talk to Kylie about [the baby], but she doesn’t want to hear it,” an insider told Life&Style. “It’s like she’s separating herself from her sisters right now. She doesn’t want anyone’s advice.”


HollywoodLife reports that “Kylie’s going to do what Kylie wants to do.”

Now that she's an adult, she’s been completely entwined in her life with her boyfriend, and is even testing out a trial marriage with him. And if it’s true that Kylie is two months pregnant, nothing will stop her from the little family she’s reportedly building with Tyga.

Chidinma Denies Dating Flavour, But This Pix…

Following the allegation, last week, that she was in an amorous relationship with Flavour, Pop singer, Chidinma, who has been tied to the male singer several times in her career, has come out to say that their relationship is strictly musical and nothing more.

In a recent interview with Vanguard, she denied having any love affair with Flavour, and also said even if he asked her out, she will say no. But the pair’s Instagram picture, where they were kissing, seems to debunk her stand.

"For Flavour, music brought us together and nothing more and if he had asked me out, the answer would have been a capital 'NO' she stated.


This is not the first time that Chidinma has come out to say she is not dating the 'Gollibe' singer. In February, she denied having an affair with the singer.  That same month, she shared a kiss with him in his music video 'Ololufe'.


The first lady of Capital Hill Music was asked about another rumoured affair which involves her and Soundcity presenter, VJ Adams.

"For Adams, if I start telling you about him, we won’t leave here. He’s my good friend. We both insult each other every time. When the story came out, I was not surprised because we both are very close."
