The former Navy SEAL who wrote an inside account of the mission that killed Osama bin Laden says the years since have been harder than any of his 13 deployments. Matthew Bissonnette released his controversial book No Easy Day in 2012 and immediately faced the ire of the Pentagon and fellow SEALs. Things have been so bad for Bissonnette, AKA Mark Owen, that he told CBS that he'd rather personally take on the Islamic State.  'I would go back overseas today and deal with fighting ISIS face-to-face rather than deal with the last two years again,' he said Sunday   Bissonnette's surprising statement came as he continued to defend himself against claims he somehow knowingly endangered his fellow SEALs, and even America's safety as a whole, by divulging classified information.  'That's absolutely not what I intended to do. These are my brothers that I served beside for years,' he said. Bissonnette told CBS he beli...

Stories have been flying around that popular singer Oritsefemi may have done some diabolic stuffs that has turned him into one of the hottest musician in Nigeria. But the guy has some words for you: “I headline several shows both home and abroad. There is hardly a show you would go to right now that my name is not on the poster. It is through hard work and I thank God. Although I cannot disclose how much I got the car and the house, I was able to get the money from the shows I headlined.  “I am popular now due to hard work and I am always in the studio. After my song, Mercy of the Lord, with Dagrin, I tried my best to bring out a better song but I was unlucky to get any. I had to go back to the drawing board to create the kind of sound people would like.  “I did not go to Satan to succeed, it is not possible. I advise many of my childhood friends that to make it in life, you have to work hard. I say this because some of them m...

Apparently, we are Uche Jombo’s Concerned fans and are really bothered about the disappearing and reappearing of Uche Jombo baby bump. In Her recent pictures we have seen, we get to see her bump, while in others we don’t (Please note these are new pictures and not old pictures) Weeks back, rumours went round that the actress had a miscarriage, but the actress showed up at a “The Other Side” movie premiere in Houston flaunting her bump. (See Below) However, when she stepped out last night (November 2nd) to another movie premiere in New York, the baby bump was kind of missing again or maybe she did a good job hiding it with her dress. (see Below) Since she shared the photos, tongues have been wagging about Uche Jombo baby bump and the true condition of her pregnancy.

Pastor Tunde Bakare of the Latter Rain Assembly, will on the 11th of November turn 60. And in a very revealing interview with TheNewsNigeria  to mark his coming birthday, the man of God explained why he suddenly abandoned Deeper Life after being there for 5 years. Excerpts: You were in Deeper Life and The Redeemed churches. At what point did you decide to open your own and why? That’s what you call memory lane. I was in Deeper Life for five years, between 1978 and December 1983. Brother Kumuyi was and is still a great teacher of the Word. The person that put the fear of God in me was Brother Kumuyi. He laid the foundation for systematic teaching that many people see me do today.  However, I rose through the ranks. I preached while I was there and conducted youth meetings. I was doing some legal works for the ministry also. I registered some of their companies.  But one day, while I was ministering and a brother was interpreting, I was giving example of...

Today, China revealed its first anti-drone laser weapon , on the heels of a similar deployment by the US military earlier this year . According to state media, the system can bring down a drone within five seconds of locating the target, and is operable within a 1.2 mile radius of the installation.   The system is designed for drones flying at altitudes around 1600 feet and at speeds of just over 100 miles per hour, putting most military drones within reach of the device. In the weapon's first public test, Chinese officials used the new laser to shoot down more than 30 drones   In 2012, the US military tested a similar device aboard the USS Ponce , successfully tracking and bringing down a surveillance drone, and laser-based weapons have become a standard line of defense against drones in the years since.    By training a high-energy beam on the craft for long enough, the weapons are able to burn through the crafts in mid-air, and they ar...

                     You know I said earlier that sometimes when these publicists send you some of these things, you don't know which ones are true and which ones are just publicity stunts. Apparently this OmoAkin's story is a stunt...that has backfired because the owner of the resort is now threatening to sue him. According to a story released last night by music star OmoAkin's management, they claimed he was attacked by some animals at Owu Resort and is receiving treatment at the Peninsula Hospital (read here ) Well, the management of the resort have reacted and they say it's 100% false. They have released a statement saying no one was injured at their resort & that they even went as far as Peninsula Hospital to check if OmoAkin was there, he wasn't! See their statement after the cut... The attention of the management of Omu resort has been drawn to a storyline ...

In an article titled 'Of Flavour's flaunt, Yachting holidays and Range Rovers", which he posted on his blog yesterday, Nollywood producer and director called Chika's Ike manager, Serah Donald, obtuse, meaning dull, not sharp!. Below is what Charles wrote about Chika Ike's recent yacht trip and Serah... " It all boils down to my point. And by the way, that picture I saw of the yacht is suspect. The damned thing looked like a cruise boat which the obtuse PA might have mistaken for a yacht though. Anyway, my point is, in this clime we live in, our so-called celebrities, coming from a background of social, material and emotional deprivation just have to force the public to know that they have arrived. So, a boat trip, a helicopter ride, a breakfast in a 3 star hotel lobby and a personal scratch on the ass must make the news at all costs’ See Serah's reply after the cut... Ah hh Charles Novia.  Why the beef? I understand your pains t...

So this disgusting guy who goes by the twitter name @KILLSemaj posted a pic on twitter that got people so mad, they called the police, FBI and reported him to Twitter.  The pic is still somewhere on twitter but don't go looking for it, because it's child porn and it's wrong and illegal! Don't even know if it's legal for me to describe what he did but he uploaded a gross pic of a 4 months old baby he claims is his niece covered in cum and his erect penis just above her 'vag...' with the caption; "Babysitting my niece :)" He actually put a smiley face! What an animal! His twitter account has since been suspended and I read that the police is now looking for him.  

Sometimes these publicists send you stuff and you don't know which one is true and which ones are just for hype. So I just got this from music artist OmoAkin's people and they claim he was injured by some animals at a resort in Lagos. Is that even possible?  We are in shock as we announce pop star OmoAkin hospitalized after he survived multiple animal attack at Omu Resort, Lagos,  Lekki Express way." his management said When I asked questions like what kind of animal, when, how? They were vague with answers, but they say he's receiving treatment at Peninsula hospital. If this really happened to him, then I hope he gets well soon. 

Wife of the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and founder of the Word of Life Bible Church, Pastor (Mrs) Helen Oritsejafor, opened up to the  Nigerian Tribune  on the $9.3m arms deal I was really surprised. I didn’t even know anything about it. I didn’t even know our plane was out of the country, because we leased it out to a company in Abuja so that we would be able to utilise whatever comes out of the deal for the maintenance of the plane, because it is quite expensive. So we didn’t know. Even though we read and heard some comments some people made concerning it, unknown to us that our plane was actually involved. In all honesty, by the time we got to know that it was Papa’s plane, we knew that the enemies were trying to play some pranks. It is natural, because he is a symbol of Christianity in Nigeria. The only thing is I wasn’t expecting people to get really dirty as they did. On if someone was playing a sinister joke..she said  ...

You must have been following this story of fast-rising singer Saeon and Wizkid..She paid Wizkid 1.5m to feature on her track and later claimed he didn't even tweet the link on social media.Wizkid then said he even helped her by collecting 1.5m because he didn't want to do the track.He also said she should be happy he gave her a hit track.. Cashing in on the controversy, her camp is not backing down as her manager at the time , Alex Adegbenro granted an interview to Chi Chi of UDR Radio NYC...He said... "Contrary to Wizkid’s claims, Saeon at no point made any contact with the kid, until I set up a first meet up.  It’s funny when he said she slept in front of his house to beg him, I feel that’s a figure of speech and I feel it’s still wrong for him to say that.  She never had his contact, he also forgot that he started the same way, sleeping at OJB’s studio crying after M.I and so on. As a matter of fact, myself and his manger were the ones discussing, hi...
