Yoruba Nollywood Actress Ronke Oshodi Oke Loses Dad

For many months after her childbirth in the United States of America (USA), popular Yoruba actress, Ronke Ojo well known as Ronke Oshodi Oke, remained in the Barak Obama led country.

It was almost being speculated by some mischief makers that she was stranded in America, which was why she couldn't return to Nigeria to let her husband to see his child.
But we have now found out why after many months away in America, Ronke decided to bring her baby to Nigeria for her hubby to see.
We reliably gathered that while the well-endowed actress was in America, her father reportedly fell sick. Two days later, he died. The news got to her, she was devastated by it and was left with no other option than to rush to Nigeria to see to the burial arrangements of her late dad.

Ronke Oshodi Oke, as we learnt, would not have returned earlier than she did if not for the unfortunate incident.

Kwankwaso: We’ll Join APC If Talks Fail

Rabiu-Musa-Kwankwaso1603.jpg - Rabiu-Musa-Kwankwaso1603.jpg

Dissenting Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors may
defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC) if ongoing
talks to resolve the political impasse threatening the party fail to yield any tangible result.

Kano State Governor, Dr Rabi'u Musa Kwankwaso,
disclosed this to the Hausa Service of the BBC Friday,
ahead of the Tuesday meeting of the party scheduled to
discuss the crisis.

According to Kwankwaso, who is also an arrowhead of the
group of five northern governors that have been traversing the country to seek ways of re-uniting the ruling. party, if genuine truce fails the governors have several options from which to chose, including that of defecting to another party.

The factional National Chairman of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Abubakar Baraje, has said that his life is in danger following what he described as the latest onslaught against officials of his faction.

In an exclusive interview with PREMIUM TIMES on Saturday, Mr. Baraje said all security personnel attached to him have been withdrawn by the government, thereby exposing him to danger.

Reports had earlier indicated that Mr. Baraje and the other leaders of his faction have been placed under security watch by authorities in an extensive effort to foil the group’s activities and ensure its members do not launch a parallel office.

“My life is now in danger, whatever happens to me now, people should know where it is coming from,” he said. “I’m now without security protection, and it is a move calculated to make me vulnerable to attacks.”

He also said the withdrawal of his security details was similar to how Rivers state Governor, Rotimi Amaechi’s life was endangered after the his security details were replaced without prior notice.

Mr. Baraje said the government had by its action put his life and those of his associates to great risk.

Mr. Baraje, a former acting national chairman of a united PDP, currently leads the PDP faction backed by seven state governors including Mr. Amaechi, and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.

MY AFFAIR WITH PASTOR BIODUN FATOYINBO OF COZA. - By Ese Walter

This article contains stories that most ‘church people’ don’t want to address. So, if you are one of those living in denial and covering up crap going on in the church, this is where you should stop reading. Thanks for stopping by.
By Ese Walter: I want to talk about something I have kept bottled up inside for longer than necessary. I have also decided to use real names, as my defense for any accusation of slander is justification. I tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but. However, feel free to throw your doubt around but know that I am past the shaming game (where victims of abuse are shot down by blame) I am no longer a victim but a survivor who is sharing her experience to help others caught in same web of abuse, guilt and shame. We only get to live once right? So here, it goes.

I recently came to know this event too was abuse (recently here means about 6 months ago). It has literally been eating me up having to drive by another billboard advertising preachers, or hearing his name, or even trying to ask about the validity of the entire salvation story and whether or not there is a God that truly watches over his people. That being said, I’m just going to say it as it is. This is a recap of my affair with Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo of COZA (Common Wealth Of Zion Assembly) Abuja chapter. This affair I have come to know as a form of abuse as you would see the different elements of abuse very present.

I met Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo many years ago. I was getting bored of the church I was attending and someone suggested COZA. At the time, I had never heard about it. My friend said, go there, I’m sure you would enjoy the word. But he also gave me a strong warning. He said he would advice that I remain a member only and not join the workforce. I agreed. The first time I attended COZA, I felt it was my church and decided I was going to plant my ass there. About eleven months had gone by and I was still attending the services quietly and faithfully. I really did like the church. One day a worker in the church approached me that the senior pastor wanted to see me.

A former Sports Editor of defunct Daily Times has hit hard times in the USA and needs assistance. This is his story as posted by his friend Azuka Jebose Molokwu.

In 1990, at the age of 31, I abandoned my job as the sports editor of Nigeria’s first evening daily paper, Evening Times, a subsidiary of THE DAILY TIMES of Nigeria. I relocated to United States to further my education and seek professional excellence with available opportunities in the world’s free press. I arrived Houston Texas, naïve and timid, with no formal training, information or survival guide kit to a migrant’s settlement in America, seeking all things bright and beautiful that “Yankee” had to offer. It’s “God’s own country”.

I settled into a shared apartment with a cousin willing to accommodate me until I integrated myself into a new lifestyle and culture. Everything functioned here. Everyday, I waited for the right opportunity to be indoctrinated into the American dream life by my cousin. While waiting for the appropriate time, I was privileged a social security number registered in my name. My cousin would come home, fill out some forms and asked me to sign them and import my social security…. I trusted everything he said and unknowingly empowered his criminal and fraudulent empire.

Phones Are Better Than People

You’ve likely already seen I Forgot My Phone, the short film by Charlene deGuzman that dramatizes our dependence on smartphones. It’s pulled in almost 20 million views and counting thanks to that magic social-media formula of saying something everyone pretty much agrees with: we're all hopelessly and pathetically addicted to our devices, which makes us tragically unaware of the fragile beauty of real-life moments passing us by on gossamer butterfly wings of authenticity.

The message at the heart of the film is yet another argument that technology erodes our genuine relationships and makes us stupider and less empathetic. You’ve likely heard a variation of this before—cell phones, or the internet, or computers, or television, are making things worse. As usual, it’s wrong.

Encounter: The teenager was pictured kissing the man in a green hat at the same festival

Explicit pictures from an Eminem concert at Slane Castle in Ireland over the weekend have kicked up a huge controversy online. In the photos two boys are shown to be engaging in separate, unrelated sex acts in the middle of the crowded field. As you might expect they quickly went viral. While the identities of the boys in question have not yet been revealed, the internet has been trying to track them down.

The photos are a distressing reminder of the state of contemporary malehood, one in which outward expressions of sexuality are encouraged and celebrated. One has to wonder where the parents of these boys are? It's disgusting that we live in a culture in which young men feel like they have to resort to such attention-seeking stunts in order to be valued by society. The hyper-sexualized music of artists like Eminem has no doubt had a distressing effect on the psychology of children too young to know that they have more to add to the world than just their penises.

Explicit Photos: [VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED]

The photo below was reportedly taken at the hospital. A US man accidentally bit off his girlfriend's clit*ris while aggressively giving her head.

Ibadan School Principal’s Corpse Found In Gutter

THE principal of Ijokodo Junior Secondary School 1, Ibadan, Oyo State Mr Segun Dare, was on Wednesday, found dead along the street to his home at Citaga area, Sango-Eleyele road, several hours after he didn’t turn up at home as expected.

Mr Dare, who left home in the evening of the previous day, was discovered face down in a gutter, with his mobile handset in his pocket while a polythene bag containing soup ingredients like fish and pepper was also found beside him.

The Abubakar Baraje-led PDP has described the closure of its head office in Abuja by the police as the height of impunity.

A statement issued by the National Secretary of the Baraje-led group, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola said security forces were mobilised to seal off the office on Saturday based on a non-existent court injunction which the Tukur faction claimed to have obtained on Friday.

OKOROCHA : A POLITICAL OPPORTUNIST BUT I LIKE HIS AUDACITY - By Onyema Uche

They are rogues. They are selfish opportunists. They stole and still stealing from us. All they did was promise and promise all the time. Yes you are right, call them thieves again.

Governor Okorocha, is a political opportunist. He does not have the interest of Ndigbo at heart. He has made a lot of false promises. So what? He is working his way to the top to be the first Igbo executive president in Nigeria. If he is a qualified criminal with all the credentials of shrewdness as Nigeria wants, then let him ride on. This man has changed the face of Owerri urban. He is the first governor after Mbakwe to bring development to rural areas in Imo state even though he neglects Mbaise. I must give it to him, he has done tremendously well. If Evans Enwerem, Achike Udenwa, and Ohakim did just 1/10 of what Okorocha is doing in Imo state now, our state would have progressed more.

Governor Okorocha no doubt has his flaws but I am beginning to like his audacity. Yes dear governor continue to rule and ruin us. It does not matter any more if you sold Owerri to Muslims to achieve your presidential ambitions. I am with you. Just do not relent, do not mind your detractors. Just become the president and every sin will be forgiven. One only needs to take a ride and see the roads in Imo state, the rehabilitated Concord hotel, even the federal roads in owerri that used to be death traps have been renovated. The most outstanding is the Owerri Umuahia federal road. I wish the same is true in Abia state.

Nabbed: Cierra Ross, a 25-year-old mother of two, is accused of forcing a man to have sex with her friend at gunpoint and then robbing him

A fast food waitress from suburban Chicago has been charged with sexual assault on a man, who told police that the 25-year-old had forced him to have sex with her friend in the backseat of a car after offering him a ride.

Cierra Ross, a mother of two from Olympia Fields, was arrested Tuesday for her part in the alleged rape of a 33-year-old man July 26.

According to police, the victim was walking in the 400 block of North Kingsbury when Miss Ross pulled up next op him and offered him a lift home.

A short time later, the Denny's waitress allegedly pulled a revolver on him, ordering him to climb into the backseat and take off his clothes.

Assistant Cook County State’s Attorney Amanda Pillsbury told The Chicago Sun-Times that Ross then forced the 33-year-old at gunpoint to have sex with her friend.

In the course of the encounter, the man was allegedly instructed to fondle the woman’s breasts and buttocks.

The two female suspects also allegedly robbed their victim, getting away with $200 in cash, credit cards and an iPhone.

The unnamed man reportedly begged his assailants to stop, but was eventually able to escape from the car, running down the street naked from the waist down.

The 33-year-old spotted a taxi nearby and asked for the driver's help. The Good Samaritan agreed to let him use his cell phone to snap a picture of Ross' license plate and email it to himself.

Sanmi Oyewole, a 43-year-old farmer and grandfather arrested by the Ogun State police command for defiling a six-year-old girl claimed that he defiled his victim because he was overwhelmed by his sexual urge. He denied that his action had any spiritual undertone, but that he did it just to “catch fun.”

The incident happened last Saturday at Ayedi Street, Isale-Ake, Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, in the Abeokuta South Local Government Area.

“I did not know that what I did with her was bad at the time, until I was done with her and she started crying. I realised my stupidity immediately and I felt bad about it,” he said.

The suspect said he lured the girl, one of his neighbour’s children, with a N50 note, took her into his room in the same compound, and forcefully had carnal knowledge of her when her mother was away.

Oyewole said the girl had no features that could attract him to her, but just happened to be the only available person he could have sex with when he could not control his sexual urge.

ELDERS panel of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), led by former President Olusegun Obasanjo, on Friday met the warring groups within the party, with each presenting its grievances before the panel.

The elders met the two factions within the Governors’ Forum as well as the Bamanga Tukur and Abubakar Baraje factions of the party. Each of the groups reportedly took turns to present its grievances.

Each of the groups had earlier held their separate caucus meetings before the presentation before the elders. It was learnt that the Tukur group had a marathon meeting at the State House, while the Baraje group were said to have also met first at Alhaji Atiku Abubakar’s residence and later in an undisclosed Governors’s Lodge in Asokoro.

People check a dead whale on September 5, 2013 in Kokrobite, a coastal village just outside Accra. Five whales have washed ashore within the space of three days in Ghana.

Five whale carcasses have washed up on Ghana's coast in the last week, officials said Thursday, vowing to probe the reportedly unprecedented string of marine deaths in the area.

Speculation has circulated widely in local media that Ghana's offshore oil installations are to blame, but an environment group and Ghana's Fisheries Commission said there was no available evidence to support such theories.

According to the fisheries commission regional officer Emmanuel Ohene Marfo, they are "sending a team to investigate what is going on because it's not normal".

This Is Why You Cant Use Your Phone On A Plane

Explanation: Never mind what the chatterbox in the seat next to you says about cell phones messing with plane navigation — those metallic birds are built airtight against foreign signals and operate on entirely different frequencies than cell phones.So why all the fuss about phones? When you make a call at 10,000 feet, the signal bounces off multiple available cell towers, rather than one at a time. That means too many phone-happy jetsetters might clog up the networks on the ground, which is why the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) — not the Federal Aviation Association (FAA) — banned cell use on planes.

If you're just dying to bust out your BlackBerry mid-flight, go international. Some airlines in Europe, the Middle East and Asia now allow cell phone use in planes, but don't hold your breath for the FCC to follow suit.

Some weeks ago, I was telling my friends that if you give Aliko Dangote, the most successful black businessman on earth about eight more years, he will become the richest man in the world. Then the argument started. Hmmm…you needed to be there! Fingers were pointing furiously and some eyeballs were almost plucked out of their sockets. Veins pulsated and muscles twitched like mad. We raised the tempo of the noise and almost brought down the roof. As we sweated it out, one of my friends was shouting vociferously (if you dey read this, you know sey I know kuku send una na…lol!) that it was impossible, that ‘do I know what it means to be the richest man on earth’ bla bla, with all the plenty grammar!

When on April 6, 2013, Jane and Olusoji Elegbede got married in Lagos State, their joy knew no bounds.

Although Olusoji was a policeman serving in Yobe State, which is fraught with security challenges, Jane did not mind living there with him.

Their plan was to settle down, have children and grow old together.

Unfortunately, this was not to be as Olusoji, an Assistant Superintendent of Police, was gunned down by a police corporal in Gashua Bade Local Government, Yobe State, while on duty less than five months after their wedding.

Olusoji’s widow, who spoke while fighting back tears, told PUNCH Metro that she was still in shock over the incident.

Narrating what led to her 39-year-old husband’s killing, Jane said her husband, who was the Administration Officer at Gashua Police Division, was killed by a 53-year-old corporal, Andrew Bitus.

Afolabi Jimoh Olawale: PDP councillorship candidate

In a rare move, a councillorship candidate of Nigeria’s Peoples Democratic Party, in the 31 August council poll in Offa, Kwara State, has denounced his declaration as the winner of the poll.

He said: “It is very clear that Offa people want APC. Offa people don’t want PDP. As a true Muslim with clear conscience, I stand for equity and justice because I know that whatever we do in this world we are going to give an account to our Creator and I fear my Creator.”

A seven-man robbery gang led by a woman, Chioma Ezekwesiri, has been smashed by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, in Lagos, southwest Nigeria.

The robbery suspects were arrested while attempting to rob Bolatito Hotel, Kola Bus Stop, Ijaiye, Lagos.

Celebrities and entertainers who style their hair in attention-grabbing ways (think Lady Gaga's plaited cone or Nicki Minaj's towering bouffant) are often lauded for their originality. But intricate hairstyles are far from being a contemporary development - as J.D. Okhai Ojeikere's photographs show.

The photographer spent the Sixties and Seventies documenting the hairstyles of the women he encountered in his native Nigeria. He snapped over 1,000 photos of these complex coiffures, from subjects he found on the streets, in offices, and at wedding celebrations, as he revealed to My Modern Met.

Code: Would-be criminals scrawl the markings on properties to indicate whether the house is worth targeting

ode: Would-be criminals scrawl the markings on properties to indicate whether the house is worth targeting
Burglars are using coded chalk symbols to let other criminals know whether a property is worth targeting.

The marks, dubbed the Da Pinci Code, are made by would-be thieves to indicate if the house is vulnerable, revealing who is living in the house and whether there is anything worth stealing.

Chillingly one sign, in the shape of an open book, says a vulnerable female resident is the occupant and another symbol indicates a homeowner who is ‘nervous and afraid’.

The chalk markings were spotted on the side of a pensioner’s home in Walkden, Greater Manchester.

Police are now investigating the shapes after speaking to other residents in the area and have distributed leaflets in the area warning of the symbols.

The code has been previously been spotted in other parts of the country.
