A new party is born! Congratulations Nigeria – APC


The All Progressives Congress (APC) has congratulated Nigerians on the emergence of the new party, saying with the birth of APC, Nigerians now have an alternative to a ruling party that has taken the people for a bad ride in the past 14 years.

In a statement issued by its interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, in Lagos on Wednesday, APC said its emergence is a victory for Nigeria and for democracy, and that it has now also propelled the country to the league of top democratic nations with two major political parties.
”The journey has been long and tortuous. All sorts of obstacles were thrown into our path by anti-democratic forces, but we were painstaking, determined and unrelenting in our quest for a formidable platform that will allow our country, Nigeria, to achieve her full potentials and join the league of respectable nations.

”With the approval of our merger by INEC and the emergence of APC, today marks the beginning of a new dawn for our country and her long-suffering people. We thank Nigerians both here and in the Diaspora for standing by us. We thank the media for their fairness, and we commend INEC for doing the right thing and for not succumbing to pressures from phantom political associations that sought to force it to circumvent the law.

Obasanjo, A Troublesome Student At National Open University; Says Vice Chancellor


“When Obasanjo became a student of the institution, he thought that it was an easy thing to do. When he was given all the courses, he realised it wasn’t easy and so he had to defer his admission. He said ‘I would not take part in this until I finished my tenure as President’. So he never studied while he was the President until he completed his tenure, then he started the course.

“He did a Post Graduate Diploma in Christian Theology. He was a very troublesome student because he will not start calling until 12 mid night and keep you online until about 2.00a.m. Every time he gives us trouble, we pray that he graduates…
“[At last] he did and his certificate was valid.”
The Vice Chancellor of the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), Professor Vincent Ado Tenebe, on Monday gave a glimpse into former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s time as a student of the institution.

SHOCKING PHOTO!! Australian fisherman 'fights his his way' OUT of a shark


It's a photo that never fails to shock new visitors to an Australian pub.
A man swallowed by a shark has managed to force his arm through the creature's gills and is desperately stabbing it.
Presumably still alive inside the shark's stomach, he is able to plunge the knife into the its head in a desperate fight for survival.


In fact the photo has proved to be quite stomach-churning for all who see it for the first time when they walk into the Metung Hotel, in the Gippsland region of Victoria.
But all is not as it seems.
The unnamed fisherman did catch the shark and he did end up in its stomach.
But first he made sure the shark was very dead before he gutted it and then crawled inside its body to prepare for a prank photo that would be taken by one of his friends.

Singer, Omawumi Beats Journalist, Gives Him Swollen Face?


Warri-born Singer, Omawumi has been accused of allegedly attacking a photo-journalist at an event held in Lagos recently.
While carrying out his lawful duty, the photo-journalist, Adekola Bamigbala attempted to take pictures of Omawumi, but little did he know that danger was lurking around for him, as the singer allegedly pounced on him, snatched his big camera and with it, dealt him heavy strikes in the face in quick succession, which gave Bamigbala a swollen face.

Funke Akindele - Kehinde Said He Would Buy Me A Car, New House. Why Now? I Don't Need That


In a revealing chat with E-247 magazine, Funke Akindele sort of replied her husband's interview with Encomium magazine that he was building a house for her before she walked out.

Though Kehinde was the first to go public with the news of their separation via popular social network site, Facebook, Funke Akindele gave her ears to her in-laws who felt she could still change her mind and that separation actually is not the solution to the problem.

Funke told E24-7MAGAZINE on Friday:

That place is not for me, I have been through hell and back. 
I was abused emotionally and verbally. Really, I felt we could work things out when the trouble started two months after the marriage. 
But I made up my mind and shut the door of the marriage at him when the trouble was coming to me too much.   
I stooped to conquer him; buried my fame and name to make him my husband, but it did not work. At a point in time, I asked if it's not the same man that was all over me before we married.  
He nearly got me off my career.  He called me severally; I did not pick his calls but when he realized my silence was tormenting him, he took to Facebook.  
It's alright.  
Ask him when did he come to my house last? He left me here in my rented apartment with nothing and he will just dash in and dash out.  He gets abusive, caustic anytime we have a misunderstanding and often told me to my face, he's going to his wife in Oshodi. 
He sent me SMS that he has seen a buyer for his house at Adeniyi Jones for N40million. He asked me if he should sell it and that if he does, he will buy me a new car and a rent me a new apartment.  
Why now? I don't need all that, I want my sanity. I respect him to the end but he chose to treat me that way. He said he wanted to clip my wings.

Video: Sinzu - WatCanFa [@SinzuSMG]


Been waiting on some new music from Sinzu for a while now. He finally comes through with WatCanFa (African Turn Up). I like this one, something the DJ would drop in the club and people would really turn up. However, i think the video is very weak, with low budget written all over it. The concept is very confusing. From this video, i can conclude that Sinzu is lonely with nobody to call his team. I'm not complaining though, at least finally he breaks the silence. Hopefully he can stay consistent now with a good management team. Enjoy!

Nigerian Businessman Abducted, Stripped Naked And Jailed By Police Over Online Comments About PDP

The caller on the other end announced that he was a police officer from the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS. The officer ordered Mr. Okonkwo to race back to his Mushin apartment immediately for an arrest.

When he arrived his apartment, half a dozen fully armed and stern looking SARS officers were waiting with AK 47 rifles on their shoulders.



They dragged him from his car, pinned him to the floor, handcuffed and loaded him into the trunk of a waiting SUV and drove off, in commando style.

Defamation Arrest:

Nigerian Celebrities Now Poor Due To Bad Investments


With the way guys are spending money today, Ọmọ Oódua is of the opinion that if anyone come asking for help from Nigerians tomorrow through the media we should ask that person questions. The extravagant lifestyle of Naija celebrities who squander their wealth on luxury and later become bankrupt is what is giving industry watchers great concern. Why do some Nigeria-known faces in the entertainment industry usually beg for fund after a successful career?

Anthony Ada Abraham and Samuel Abulude take a look at this sad development. A typical Nigeria celebrity is seen as a wealthy personality. Going on tour around the world, shooting videos and making people know they are a force to be reckoned with, buying and big cars, etc. Most shows they perform in is outside the country and it aids them with lots of money for stage appearance, multinational endorsement and more fan base. But of late, the tide has continued to turn inasmuch as
majority seek fund from the public before they could even eat. The question entertainment enthusiasts are asking is, what have they been doing with the millions they earn?



The ordeal of African Queen Music producer, OJB Jezreel with kidney failure has revealed the lifestyle of our music celebrities. He struggled to get the required funds for his kidney transplant and had to resort to
begging Nigerians to save his life and donate money for his operation. This development casts a notion of wasteful spending on our celebrities who made money when the going was good.

A lot of our contemporary artistes and music producers have smiled to the bank unlike the veteran singers of yesteryears who laboured more producing quality music and yet did not make as much as the contemporary artistes. Catching on the global hip hop trend, many of our artistes have hit it off and smiled to the banks. The Nigerian musician has laboured and tried to make himself to be reckoned with.

Today, while many have attained celebrity status via the industry and become brand ambassadors of different products and organisations, others have gradually faded
out as if they never existed.

S-H-A-M-E-D! 2 Faced And Tribalist Gov Fashola, Saves A Naked Man.


*23 Aug, 2009. fashola deported 160 Northerners and unemployed youths.
**120 Northern beggars jailed, 1,708 others ejected from Lagos - Tribune News.
**27 July, 2013. Fashola deports 69 Igbos, dumped them under Eweka Bridge in the Middle of the Night.

The Lagos State, Governor Babatunde Fashola rescued a 22-year old vulcanizer, Akin Abayomi, who was found stark naked at Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS) Marina, Lagos, around 12 midnight and offered the 'destitute' the sum of N100,000 for rehabilitation.


The young man, Abayomi was found naked in the middle of the road when the governor was driving by with his convoy and thinking he was a mad man, Fashola ordered his security aides to pick him up for rehabilitation.
The man was taken to the State House, Marina where he was housed for the night before the governor sent for the Special Adviser on Youth and Social Development, Dr. Dolapo Badru to rehabilitate him.
Abayomi confessed that he was not a mad man, but that he stripped himself in the middle of the night on the road because he wanted to curse the person who stole his cell phone and his money.
He said he visited a herbalist in his quest for revenge against the person who stole his cell phone and money and was instructed to carry out the act in order to curse his enemy, which was why he was naked in the middle of the night.

Veteran actress and broadcaster, Bukky Ajayi, has debunked the rumour spreading on social media that she is dead.
In a phone interview this morning, the aged actress said that she is hale and hearty and therefore urged her fans to ignore the rumour.
“My son, I was surprised to hear the rumour as well. About four people had called me concerning this issue, but I didn’t take it seriously until my daughter and her husband also called. I’m hale and hearty, and nothing is wrong with me,” she said.

She further explained that “if it was at a point when I was ill, perhaps, I won’t be surprised. But I’m very much okay now, that’s why I’m wondering where the rumour emanated from.”
There were reports over the weekend on the thespian’s health status. While some reported that she is critically ill, others said she is dead. But the Village Headmaster star, who started her career in the 60s, has denied it all.
