Award winning actress, Omotola Jalde Ekeinde, in an interview with Encomium magazine, said that anyone who comes between a married couple deserve to be jailed because that person is robbing the couple of their joy.  "I think it should be a crime for anyone to come in between a couple. I feel anybody that comes between a married couple be a man or woman should go to jail. Such a person is robbing the family of their joy. To me, it is a crime that is worse than stealing another person's property" she said. Continue Speaking about what has kept her marriage going for 8 years, Omotola said "I would say first it is the fear of God. Then the fact that the reason we do all we do or the person we are all answerable to is God. He is the one guiding us. I would not lie to you that there was no time we almost gave up on both sides but at the end of the day you know you are answerable to God for whatever you do. There fore take your worry to him. And the ...

Two Yazidi sisters held captive by ISIS have told of how they tried to kill each other when they realised they were going to be sold as wives to terrorist fighters. Daily Mail gathered that Wafa, 27, and her sister, who has not been identified, were captured along with hundreds of other Yazidi women when the town on Sinjar fell into ISIS hands in August. Fearing they would be forced to marry or sold to another captor, they tried to strangle each other late at night and only stopped after other girls they were with woke up and separated them. Wafa said: 'The man who was holding us said that either we marry him and his brother or he would sell us. At night we tried to strangle ourselves. 'Two girls who were held with us woke up and stopped us and then stayed awake to watch over us. 'When they fell asleep at 5am we tried again, and again they woke up and stopped us. I could not speak for several days after that.' The shocking ...

Gambia’s President Yahya Jammeh Gambian authorities arrested 3 men allegedly involved in homosexual relationships. In the worst case the suspects now face a maximum sentence of life imprisonment, under the new law signed in October, Reuters reports with reference to the local TV station. After the arrest all the men were said to have confessed to being gay. Speaking on the issue for the camera, the masked security said: “We go around in search of suspected individuals and in the course of the investigations we arrested the men and they have confessed that they have engaged in these inhuman acts.” It would be recalled that before homosexuality became legally punishable in Gambia, the country’s President Yahya Jammeh described homosexual persons as “vermin” and suggested to deal with them like with mosquitoes. The move was met with shock by the international community. The European Union said this month it has withdrawn millions of e...

Beggars In a bid to affirm the new law of ‘no begging’ in Lagos, the Lagos state government has done something drastic to 70 beggars recently. Sahara Reporters made it known that the Lagos State government has deported 70 northerners who were found publicly begging; an act which has been banned in the state. The beggars were said to have been bundled out of Lagos state where they were stationed and are presently in Kano State. However, a local Hausa radio program monitored in Kano, made it known that the deportees complained that they were held for months and exposed to hardship before they were brought to Kano. Some of them were said to be originally from Niger, Kebbi, Jigawa, Kaduna, Sokoto and Zamfara states. It would be recalled that just few days ago, three fake beggars landed in trouble while trying to extort money from unsuspecting members of the public under the guise of being blind in Delta state.

Indeed, the history of Nigeria can not be written without the mention of Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd). Buhari has become somewhat a permanent feature in the political firmament of this nation. This is because of the various roles the Daura-born General has played in this nation. In December 1983, some middle and high-ranking military officers selected Buahri to lead the country after a successful military coup that toppled then president, Alhaji Shehu Shagari. At the time, Buhari was head of the Third Armored Division of Jos. Below is a transcript of his speech after the military coup obtained from Omojuwa.com: “In pursuance of the primary objective of saving our great nation from total collapse, I, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari of the Nigerian army have, after due consultation amongst the services of the armed forces, been formally invested with the authority of the Head of the Federal Military Government and the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces of th...

The Abia State University is reducing school fees by 20 per cent starting from 2014/2015 academic session. The educational institution confirmed this today, December 23. It would be recalled that there was an increase in the 2012/2013 session, which caused serious argument between the students and the university authorities. However now the  Dean of Student Affairs of the university, Udo Nwokocha, officially announced that the reduction would touch upon all the faculties. Young people felt excited about the news. Israel Ahamefula, the President of the university’s Student Union, thanked the state government for making such a step. “On behalf of the students, I thank the state government and the school authorities for the reducing the fees. This has been a long-awaited welcome development.”

The parents of one of the kidnapped by Boko Haram sect Chibok schoolgirls describes how they prepare to face Christmas without her, declaring December 25, 2014, “a bad Christmas” because their family is still “incomplete”. The parents, while speaking to CNN, said that the absence of their daughter at a holiday period likes this, saying she loved education too much to have been hurt by her quest for self-empowerment. They said: “She is brilliant. She likes reading. Always, she liked to go to school,” her father said, before her mother added: “She used to tell me one day she would finish school and become somebody. She loved studies; she used to assist the younger ones with their homework. She used to fall asleep with her books in her arms.” The father of the girl recollected that every Christmas, the family was always “complete and happy”, but it won’t be the case this time. “One of us is not there, how can it be the same”? “There is nothing I can say; it ...

The cat has been let out of the bag; Becky is no longer doing her thing with Lola Alao's husband in secret, sources say she left her own husband to be with the actress' hubby and she has been flaunting the man, even in parties and other social functions in Canada. When shame is gone, a woman has lost everything. But some of these matured ladies just don't care, they will snatch your husband from you in broad daylight and nothing will happen. Lolz! I really pity Lola Alao in this mess. She was said to have married the man, Mr Ajibola, at a time he was at his lowest in life. And this is the second man she is getting married to and losing within a short period. They were brought together by a friend when he was “inside” and Alao supported him and gave him the love he needed because of his “peculiar situation”. Becky, sources said, calls Ajibola “uncle”. By virtue of that, she and Alao become very close, “almost like sisters”, a source s...

Some folks are misguided; to think a man who did not attend a university for a BSc is not a graduate. lol! A Rejoinder to 'Semi-Illiterate' PDP Secretary Prof. Wale Oladipo by Dr. M.K. Hassan I was shocked to read a press statement from Wadata Plaza issued by a so called Professor Wale Oladipo, secretary of the PDP, saying that General Muhammadu Buhari is a semi illiterate jackboot. It is no wonder that our education system has fallen so low, else how can one explain a professor making such a statement? How did Wale Oladipo become a professor to start with? It is quite astonishing that he can say this. The professor doesn’t seem to understand the basic rudiments of learning and what it means for one to be literate or not. Buhari attended the best military schools in the world. In case the professor doesn’t know, Buhari graduated as a military officer (Lieutenant) in Royal Military Academy, Aldeshot UK. He attended the Defense College India. Col Buhari at...

Many people have been waiting to hear from star boy Wizkid and his known girlfriend, Tania Omotayo, about the revelations made by a 'side-chick' of their many escapades. Sources say Tania has got the details but she is not ready to leave her man because he had an affair with another lady, like most guys, even married men, do. Wizkid himself has decided to take it cool with the girl: When asked to confirm or deny the secret affair with the said lady, the Wizkid simply said, “No comment, I have nothing to say about it… I’m letting this slide."
