Yesterday, a reader sent me a scoop from Kano, claiming that the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, got married to his 4th wife, an 18 year old Adamawa princess. She wrote; " Emir  of  Kano  just wedded Lamido Adamawa's daughter Sa'adatu. The  Emir  was absent but in attendance was the Wakili  Kano  and the governor of  Kano . The wedding took place after juma'at prayers at the Lamido palace" I didn't carry the story because there were no photos and I didn't have anyway of confirming it. But it looks like it may be true.

Drama! In her recently released memoir, 'Down the Rabbit Hole', the former Playboy bunny, Holly Madison writes that her former housemate, Kendra is the "fakest person I've ever met," and other not so flattering details.  In a clip from an episode of her reality show, Kendra tells a friend how she really feels about   Holly Madison and her memoir.     "What Holly is saying is extremely false. I'm like, where did this s-t come from? She writes a book putting rumors out there about me all over the Internet and stuff. It's just absurd. Seven years later and this bitch is talking about shit that happened while I was fucking 18, 19 and 20. At the end of the day, what we did was just ... fucked the same man. That's not friends."   After explaining to her friend that the stories in Madison's book are "extremely false," the 30-year-old added,      "How dare her try to write my story and tell people what my in

PRESIDENT BUHARI REMAINS FULLY COMMITTED TO IMPROVED NATIONAL SECURITY AND SUCCOUR FOR IDPs Contrary to the erroneous impression that may have been created by reports that the Nigerian delegation to the 70th Session of the United Nations General Assembly missed a meeting on help for displaced persons, President Muhammadu Buhari and his administration remain fully committed to the rehabilitation and well-being of all persons who have been displaced or adversely affected by the Boko Haram insurgency. Indeed, the war against terrorism, improved security across Nigeria and additional measures to give succour to internally displaced persons have been central to discussions President Buhari has had with other world leaders since his arrival in New York on Thursday night. The issues were dominant in the President's conversations on Friday with Chancellor Angela Merkel, the King of Spain, His Majesty Don Felipe VI and former Prime-minister Gordon Brown who cam

D’banj as a singer and Don Jazzy the producer used to be the perfect team as the honchos of Mo’hits Records. But like a bolt from the blue, their hitherto smooth relationship collapsed in 2012 like a pack of badly arranged cards. Ever since, fans and colleagues in the music industry have been begging the duo to come back together and rework their magic. However, what could have been the perfect opportunity for the two heavyweights to address the issue came to pass on Sunday, September 20,at the Eko Hotel-venue of 2face Idibia’s Fortyfied Concert. D’banj mounted the stage to perform some of his hit songs to the delight of the audience, and halfway through, he said he was going to perform a song, ‘Feeling Good’ produced by Don Jazzy and featuring 2face that was leaked online before it could be properly released. He beckoned on Don Jazzy to join him on stage to perform the song, but Jazzy remained glued to his seat with new Mavin signees, Reekado Banks, Kor

A former Minister of Power, Prof. Chinedu Nebo, has expressed support for President Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-corruption war, describing the menace as a “killer” that must be fought by all Nigerians. Nebo expressed his support for the anti-graft war in the address he delivered at the 2015 International Conference of the Department of Accountancy, Faculty of Management Sciences, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, on Friday. He lauded the economic reforms and developmental agenda being introduced by the Buhari-led administration. Nebo, however, urged the president to focus his attention on the public sector financial management and the Treasury Single Account policy. According to him, corruption is not the only socio-economic reform and development challenge in Nigeria, incompetence is another problem. “When you put incompetent persons in positions, that is also corruption, because they cannot perform and they end up stealing the national wealth and resources”.

As preparations for the submission of the ministerial list by President Muhammadu Buhari heats up, former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, and Buhari met on Friday at the United Nations (UN) Plaza in downtown Manhattan, New York City, United States. The meeting which took place at the 37th floor of the plaza was behind closed doors. The former president first came in waiting for the president, when President Buhari came, they both moved in with Dr. Kayode Fayemi and other top dignitaries who accompanied the President to the 70th UN General Assembly. When journalists ambushed the two leaders, they were shielded by their security aides who said it would amount to 'security breach' to get to them. The meeting came on the heels of speculations that the ministerial nominees would be out any time soon. Speculations at the UN General Assembly meeting were also rife that the discussion centered on several national issues, critical among them is the appointmen

(Reuters) - The United Nations, Chad, Niger and Cameroon appealed on Friday for help for millions of people in the Lake Chad Basin region forced to flee the violence of Boko Haram and hit with repeated droughts and floods that have brought malnutrition and disease. But while the radical Islamist militants operate out of Nigeria and U.N. aid chief Stephen O'Brien said that is where most people have been displaced by their attacks, Nigeria did not send anyone to the United Nations event. U.S. and European Union diplomats said they were disappointed that Nigeria did not attend the event chaired by O'Brien on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly. The Nigerian U.N. mission was not immediately available to comment on its absence. A regional offensive by Nigeria, Niger, Chad and Cameroon earlier this year drove Boko Haram from much of the territory it held in northern Nigeria. But the militants have since struck back with a renewed wave of deadly raids and

Warning all mums across the world, Doncaster-based Claire Henderson recalled how her little baby, Brooke, was hospitalized for five days with horrific blisters that could have caused liver and brain damage. ‘Please share this with every new mum and pregnant woman you know… COLD SORES CAN BE FATAL FOR A BABY. Before 3 months old a baby cannot fight the herpes virus. If a baby contracts this it can cause liver and brain damage and lead to death. I know this sounds like I am scaremongering but if my friend had not told me about this my baby girl could have been very seriously ill.

A combined effort of security agencies saved the day on Friday as suspected Boko Haram terrorists stormed a Directorate of Security Services (DSS) facility in Lokoja and tried to free their members detained there. This is as the Nigerian military said that over 200 members of Boko Haram terrorists group on Friday surrendered to their troops in newly liberated Banki Town of Borno State, North-eastern part of the country. The effort of the police, DSS operatives and soldiers that were later called in successfully beat back the terrorists who allegedly stormed the facility with explosives to blow their way through so as to free their detained members. Reports of pandemonium due to confusion on whether the shootings and explosions heard in the vicinity were from armed robbery attacks which are rife in the area prevailed till it was confirmed that it was a Boko Haram invasion. Although no security agency was willing to speak on record, THISDAY gathered that the att

Presidency has assured that the September 30 promise by President Mohammadu Buhari as deadline for the appointment of Ministers would be met. The presidency spoke against the backdrop of a growing apprehension in the polity on the fact that it is only 5 days to the end of the month. Of concern also was the current travails of the senate president, Dr. Bukola Saraki at the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, which many Nigerians feared may make the deadline not feasible. At the moment, the senate whose function it is to receive and screen the Minister nominees from the presidency is on vacation to resume on September 29, barley a day September 30. But in an exclusive chat with the Senior Special Adviser to the president on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, on the issue recently, he stated that Nigerians needed not to worry as the deadline given by president Mohammadu Buhari to form his cabinet has not yet elapsed. He said: “Time given has not yet elapsed
