Hoodlums kill Pastor, chop off man's buttocks in deadly attack

A group of armed men in Ife, Mkpat Enin Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State, have killed a preacher, popularly known as Nnamani.
The hoodlums also shot and chopped off one Sunday Akpan’s left buttock.
It was learnt that the village hooligans had threatened few days earlier to deal with the preacher for ‘disturbing them with message about repentance.’
The Village Head, Chief Saturday Isemin, a retired assistant superintendent of police, told Southern City News in Ife on Thursday that the gangsters dragged the preacher to a bush near the back of a primary school in the night, where they killed him and hid his corpse.
“People saw some of those hooligans drag the preacher in the night to a bush where they killed him and hid his corpse. Since that time, nobody has said anything about the killing of the innocent man.
“His offence was that he used to disturb them with his preaching. They said that he would be going around asking people to give their lives to Christ,” he said.
Speaking on the attack on Akpan, the village head said he had been admitted in Etinan General Hospital, where he was receiving treatment.
He said Akpan could not sit on the bed except by lying down as his buttock had been cut off by the gang men.
A report signed by Investigation Police Officer, Mr. Dominic Asuquo, an inspector, indicated that Akpan was beaten with machete and shot on the right leg.
“The patient was attacked on Tuesday, June 6, 2017 at 5pm in Ife Town, Mkpat Enin LGA by gang men (six), three used guns and one Unyime also used machete.
Isemin said the problem started in the village when the youths locked and beat up the elders who were having an executive council meeting in the hall.
He added that a security guard who had the keys to the premises was severely beaten up and later they placed a table on his head on which one hefty member of the gang sat.
Speaking also, the youth president of Ife Town, Mr. Tony Akpan, said the police in the area had compromised as the boys wield guns at their presence.
He added that the policemen know the hoodlums by name.
He said, “There have been series of problems in our community starting from August 12 last year. We were at executive meeting at the council hall. The meeting started at 7am and after saying the prayer, we saw two men.
“Barely had the meeting started when the two men left and mobilised some of their members to our meeting place. They locked us up and gave all the elders, including me, thorough beating.
“We couldn’t call the police as they seized our phones. They carted away N305,000 that was in my bag which was supposed to be given to somebody.
“If not for one DSS personnel that wanted to see one of us by coming there, we don’t know what they would have done with us.
“What they told the DSS personnel was that they do not want us to be their leaders, saying we are thieves.”
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mr. Chukwu Ikechukwu, said the police were not aware of crime in Ife.
He said he would wire the District Police Officer in the area for information on the crime.

Jim Iyke, Linda ikeji settle long time beef

Celebrity blogger, Linda Ikeji and Jim Iyke have put their differences aside for a good cause. They have settled their dispute and even hung out together at Linda’s office in Lekki, Lagos.
Jim shared some photos from his visit on Instagram and wrote;
“YDO brainstorm with my sis Linda Ikeji at Linda Ikeji Media. #OurVoiceMustBeHeard #LIGHTHASCOME #YDPChronicles” .
About four or five years ago, the two stars were engaged in a hot social media fight over a misunderstanding on some blog post. Although Jim later apologized after realizing his mistake.
A year after the Fracas, Linda posted a topless photo of the actor with the caption ‘Jim Iyke Shows Off Six Pack’ and added the following underneath,
‘Every time I write about this dude he comes after me on Twitter, but I must do my job na…lol. Nice body’
Jim got wind of the post and called Linda a ‘hermaphrodite’.

READ: I don’t really care about awards – Wizkid speaks on BET Awards According to reports last week, Nasty C was reportedly announced the winner of the award by accident – but BET made sure to apologise for what they referred to as a ‘glitch’.

9ice is a once again called to explain Living Things.

9ice talked about “the realm” – the experience you need to have had in life for you to appreciate the message of “Living Things”. Most of you all are born with a silver spoon. You don’t know what the life of a ghetto child is. Your dad is a big man in Government and your mum works a decent job in Lagos. Look, you even schooled in a private University and did your Masters abroad. Those are just some of the excuses that are being put up by those who want you to see reasons with 9ice’s promotion of ‘Yahoo Boys’ in the song “Living Things”. They are not going to let Falz or any other privileged person take away the rights of those who have had to grind through life’s rough paths to come to a reasonable standard of living. To all that, there is the impulse to just say: “Shut. Up!”, but hey, you don’t shut people for holding what could appear wacky and madcap views. If you think of it, reaching out to explain why 9ice should be allowed to hail fraudsters in his song is not as absurd as taking a selfie of yourself and your crying children, while demanding the freedom of a notorious kidnapper. But back to 9ice. Let’s allow that you need to be in the “realm” to understand the message he was passing in his song, that of one who wakes up and has to go make a living. The Movement by a living person to find Nutrition – it appears 9ice was merely talking about the ‘MR NIGER D’ acronym we used in secondary school to learn about the characteristics of living things. But there was no mention in those classes that we had to defraud, were there? Life can be a tough place where survival comes to the fittest only, agreed, but is that the goal now? Are we going to now chop each other down as long as it will be our profit? Was that how the Biology teacher said we were supposed to arrive at the final letter, D?

Who supplies Evans change of clothes in detention

confessed kidnap kingpin, Chukwudi Onuamadike, popularly known as Evans, has a very high taste in many things. His elegantly furnished mansion says it all. It has been reported that the suspect cried and lamented that he is now locked among common criminals. Perhaps he feels humiliated that his dignity, self esteem and ego have been badly battered. But can the same be said of his fashion? It’s been 12 days since he was caught, but on the three main occasions that Evans has had to make public appearances since his arrest, he has appeared in different shirts and a pair of jeans trousers that don’t seem to get dirty. In the first photos of his arrest shared online, he appeared in a striped shirt. When he was paraded publicly for the first time on Sunday, June 11, he wore a baby pink striped shirt. When he was interviewed by several media houses, he wore a turquoise blue and white striped shirt. He repeated the baby pink shirt on the day he took the police to some of his operational hideouts. Above all, the neat and well kept appearance of the kidnapping kingpin, even under inauspicious conditions, speaks highly of his sophisticated taste. The question is: Who supplies Evans the change of clothes in detention?

Jay Z h's just changed his name

Allow him to reintroduce himself again!!!. Jay Z is changing his name to … JAY-Z. The rapper whose real name is Shawn Carter is updating the way he stylizes his famed moniker by adding a hyphen and spelling it out in all capital letters. The name change, which his rep confirmed to the Daily News, will be used on his recently announced and highly anticipated new album, “4:44,” which comes out on his streaming service Tidal on June 30. The hip-hop mogul’s spokesperson didn’t have a comment for why JAY-Z decided to make the name change, but it’s not the first time he’s altered his title. He originally went by Jay-Z (lower case letters with a hyphen) before ditching the hyphen after he came out with his most recent album to date, “Magna Carta Holy Grail,” in 2013. Only adding to the confusion is that JAY-Z promoted his new album on Twitter this week by stylizing his name JAY:Z to match up with the “4:44” title.

Davido gushes about Ronaldo following him on IG

Madrid star player, Cristiano Ronaldo has just endorsed Nigerian music sensation, David Adeleke known on the entertainment scene as Davido . The 32-year old player who has recently been making news headlines ever since the report of his tax evasion surfaced online followed the Nigerian singer on his social media handle, Instagram precisely. Ronaldo is the most followed male celebrity on social media with over 103 million followers on Instagram. He barely follows people but recently added Davido to the list of the few people he follows on the aforementioned social media platform. Davido is the latest person Ronaldo followed on Instagram This is coming after the self-acclaimed, Omo Baba Olowo (OBO) dropped a hit track which he titled, 'Fall' - a song with lyrics that gave credits to Ronaldo as his name was mentioned in the hook. "Cos my guys call me Cristiano, Mr. Ronaldo, omo Nintendo!" The Dami Duro crooner couldn't contain his excitement as he took to social media to share the news with his 4 million Instagram followers.

Death penalty for kidnap kingpin Evans

Kidnap kingpin, Chukwudubem Onwuamadike, a.k.a Evans, who was arrested by the police for coordinating several high-profile kidnappings, armed robbery and murder within Lagos, Edo, Abia, Enugu and Anambra States might pay with his dear life. The Lagos Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode has signed into law Life Imprisonment or death penalty for the offence of kidnap and forceful extortion in Lagos State as he signs into law the state kidnapping prohibition bill, 2016. The law provides for death penalty for kidnappers whose victims die in their custody, and life imprisonment for the act of kidnapping. This might affect the fate of Nigerian billionaire kidnapper, Evans who reportedly raked an aggregate of $6 million from the illicit career in about a decade. The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the Lagos State House of Assembly passed the bill on January 5, 2017. The governor said that the law was enacted to address key issues bordering on security. He said that kidnapping had become a major threat to the safety of residents and, therefore, required decisive action by the government. “This law imposes a penalty of life imprisonment for kidnapping for ransom. “The law stipulates that, where a victim dies in the course of kidnapping, the suspect is liable on conviction to death. “Security is of utmost importance to our administration, and we are confident that this law will serve as a deterrent to anybody, who may desire to engage in this wicked act within the boundaries of Lagos State. “Our justice system will be required to execute this law in absolute and make sure that any criminal caught faces the full wrath of the law,” he said. Based on this, it is very likely, George Evans gets a life imprisonment or death penalty sentence depending on the extent to which the accusations against him as well as confessions are backed with hard evidence and argued well in the court of law. This according to public opinions is very necessary to serve as a deterrent to other kidnappers operating freely across Nigeria under the guise of unemployment and high poverty rate in the country.

Ronaldo gives Real Madrid conditions for staying in Spain

Ronaldo has given Real Madrid an ultimatum, under which he will remain at the club beyond this summer. According to the Daily Mirror, the Portugal captain has demanded they pay the €14.7 million tax bill he’s being accused of owing, if they want him to stay.

Tongues wag over Jim Iyke's recent closeness to Tonto Dike

It's no more news that Nollywood actress,Tonto Dike's marriage to Dr Oladunni Churchill is really in a mess,due to her husband's alledged infidelity and the latter's anger management issues. Recall that Churchill even posted a birthday message to her on her birthday on Instagram and there was a sigh of relief as we all thought the duo are finally patching things up. What we don't understand is the fact that self acclaimed "Nollywood bad boy" Jim Iyke is slowly creeping into the picture,hmmmm. Jim Iyke sometime ago paid a visit to the actress,Tonto Dikeh and her son, King Andre at their Abuja home and in developing reports,Jim Iyke posted pictures in which he was spotted with Tonto Dike at an airport about boarding a flight to Onitsha,Anambra state.

Recall that this pair are veteran acts in the Nollywood movie industry and have both starred in movies together like, My Wife My Pain, Stolen Kiss, Love My Way and other movies.

Alfa caught with fresh human head,other body parts for money ritual.

Rasheed Ajibade, who was caught with a fresh female head in Osun State recently, has explained that he planned to use the head and other body parts of the victims for money ritual after the ongoing Ramadan ends.
Ajibade, 38, an indigene of Ikirun in Ifelodun Local Government Area of Osun State was caught with a fresh human head and other body parts like hands, lungs, liver and blood, which was kept inside a bottle, was arrested by the police in Osogbo on Wednesday during a stop and search operation.
The Alfa said he was also a herbalist.
He was arrested in an SUV, which he said belonged to his elder brother.
The gory human parts were found inside a small sack he kept in the vehicle.
Speaking with journalists at the Osun State Police Command headquarters, the suspect said he was not the one who butchered the victim but his client, who wanted the money ritual.
Ajibade said the client, who is also an Alfa and specialised in healing mentally challenged persons, simply brought the human parts to him and left.
He stated that he had intended to preserve the human parts until after the Ramadan when he would be free to use the parts for the ritual.
He, however, said the client, who he identified simply as Olorungbebe did not want the kind of ritual, which would bring small amounts of money but the one which would banish poverty from his life.
He said, “I am an Alfa and a herbalist. There is a man, who is also an Alfa; he came to my place and told me that he wanted to do money ritual. I told him that getting the materials needed for the ritual would be difficult but he agreed to bring the materials by himself.
“So, the man came on Wednesday morning from Aagba town with the human parts for the ritual. The body parts he brought are fresh human head, hands, inner parts and vagina. I did not know that he would bring the materials that morning.
“I told him that we are in the Ramadan period and he should wait till after Ramadan before I could do it. This is my first time of doing this kind of money ritual although I do other ones but not this type.
“The man told me he wanted to do money ritual and I told him the difficulty in finding the materials and he told me that he would get them and he did. I am a Muslim and I’m fasting also even when he brought the human parts I told him that this is not the time for such ‘work’.
“The man told me the situations of things in his life and pleaded with me to help him to do it. He did not want the kind of money rituals, which would not bring huge amount of money. He wanted the kind of ritual which brings huge amount of money.”
The interview session with journalists abruptly ended when the policemen, who arrested him asked him to pour the content of the bag on the ground for everybody to see. Despite wearing nose masks, most police officers present and journalists started retching while few other actually threw up due to the stench which oozed out of the sack.
The head was still dripping blood but the liver and the lungs were already decaying.
The Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr. Finihan Adeoye, said the police would ensure that Olorungbebe was apprehended and the identity of the female victim was revealed.
Adeoye said, “We will surely arrest his partner. We want to know how he got those humans parts, where he got them from and the identity of the victi

Messi acknowledges Ronaldo

Messi has praised his great rival Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo has led Real Madrid to a famous LaLiga and Champions League Double this season. "No, I have always said it -- and [Ronaldo] has, too -- that it's something more to do with the press than us," Messi said of his rivalry with the Portugal star. "We try to achieve the best every year for our team, and what is said outside of that I don't think is very important. He is a phenomenal player with a lot of quality. All the world knows [that] and that is why he is one of the best of the world."

Ronaldo is forbes highest earning athlete in 2017

onaldo is the world’s highest-paid athlete, with earnings of $88 million over the past 12 months from salary, bonuses and endorsements. Ronaldo is only the second team athlete after Michael Jordan to rank as the top-paid since Forbes began tracking athlete earnings in 1990. It is a good time to be a world-class athlete in a popular team sport. TV money is fueling massive increases in player salaries across baseball, basketball, football and soccer. The cutoff for the top 100 athletes is $20.8 million, up $2 million over last year. Ronaldo’s Real Madrid contract is worth more than $50 million a year in salary and bonus and runs through 2018. He triggered one of those seven-figure bonuses by leading Real to the Champions League title when he found the back of the net on the clinching penalty kick. The three-time FIFA player of the year is a marketing juggernaut earning $32 million off the pitch by our count. He kicked off a contract extension with Nike NKE -0.57% last year worth $13 million a year (Nike is partnered with 50 members of the top 100). Other Ronaldo endorsement partners include Tag Heuer, Herbalife , Pokerstars, Clear Shampoo and more. He has his own line of suits, cologne, shirts, shoes, underwear and hotels under construction. Ronaldo’s massive social media presence is a boon to marketers, encompassing 215 million followers across Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. He posted 255 times on social media promoting a brand over the last year. Those posts generated $176 million in media value, according to Hookit, which tracks sponsorship value in social and digital media. Messi ranks No. 2 with earnings of $81.4 million. Messi earned bonuses from Barcelona and chief sponsor Adidas when he racked up his fifth FIFA player of the year award in January. Messi’s total earnings from sponsors were $28 million. His Adidas pact is worth more than $10 million annually, and he also has endorsement relationships with Huawei, Tata Motors , PepsiCo PEP -0.03% (Gatorade and Lay’s brands), Gillette and Electronic Arts EA +0.44%. Our earnings figures include salaries, prize money and bonuses paid out between June 1, 2015, and June 1, 2016. Endorsement incomes are an estimate of sponsorships, appearance fees and licensing incomes for the same 12 month period based on conversations with dozens of industry insiders. We do not deduct for taxes or agents’ fees and we don’t include investment income (click here for a more detailed methodology and the numbers behind the top 100). The 100 top-earning athletes hail from 23 countries and compete in 10 sports, with Americans (65) and baseball players (26) the most numerous. Over the last 12 months, they banked a cumulative $3.15 billion, 29% of which came from endorsements and appearances. The NBA’s LeBron James ranks third with total earnings of $77.2 million and leads 18 basketball players on the list. Nike signed James to the first lifetime contract in the company’s 44-year history at the end of 2015 (Michael Jordan is presumed to have a lifetime deal in all but name). Sales of James’ signature shoes are down over the past 12 months, but if sales rebound and the four-time MVP can move product after his NBA days are over, the contract will likely pay out more than $1 billion. King James has gone Hollywood with his SpringHill Entertainment production company and multi-platform media company Uninterrupted, which got a $15.8 investment in December from Time Warner TWX +0.04%. James made his big-screen debut in the summer of 2015 in the movie Trainwreck. James is also set to star in the sequel to the 1996 Jordan movie-vehicle Space Jam. The new Nike pact and TV vehicles pushed James’ off-court earnings up $10 million to $54 million. His NBA salary is headed for a bump next year, too, with the league’s salary cap about to explode thanks to the start of the NBA’s new $24 billion TV contract next year, triple the prior deal annually. James can opt out of his existing Cleveland Cavaliers deal and secure a pact starting around $31 million. Roger Federer is the top-earning athlete in an individual sport with $67.8 million over the past 12 months. He leads a group of seven tennis players, including Serb Novak Djokovic, who lands in the top 10 for the first time at No. 6 with $55.8 million. It has been four years since Federer captured his 17th Grand Slam title at Wimbledon in 2012, but he remains the top player off the court with $60 million from endorsements and appearance fees. Federer generated millions from playing four matches in the Indian Premier Tennis League in December. His endorsement portfolio is filled with long-term deals with global brands like Nike, Rolex , Mercedes-Benz and Credit Suisse. The top two earners on Forbes’ 2015 athletes list both took big cuts after their record paydays. Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao earned $300 million and $160 million, respectively, for the 12 months ending in June 2015 after their bout in May 2015 produced the first $600 million night in the history of sports. Both fought once over the last 12 months and claim they are now retired. Mayweather ranks No. 16 with earnings of $44 million, while Pacquiao lands at No. 63 with $24 million. Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova are the only two women to make the cut for the second straight year, but the tennis stars flip-flopped spots thanks to new endorsements for Williams and bonuses from her historic three Grand Slam 2015, while Sharapova has been sidelined most the year after a failed drug test. Williams earned $28.9 million (No. 40) and Sharapova ranks No. 88 with earnings of $21.9 million, off nearly $8 million.

TB Joshua at 54. Story so far. Life and times

In times like this when the nation is passing through some kind of recession, the General Overseer of The Synagogue, Church of All Nations (SCOAN), Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua, popularly called TB Joshua, deserves to be celebrated from different perspectives, especially as he has put smiles on faces and has become the greatest friend of the poor and downtrodden in society. Apart from his healing and deliverance gifts, Prophet T.B. Joshua walks tall in several aspects of human endeavours.

The story of his life is an excellent demonstration of God’s ability to use the foolish things of the world to confound the wise. With just primary school education, the cleric has established himself as a force to reckon with in God’s vineyard.

His ministry is arguably the most visited Christian ministry in the whole of Africa and has continued to attract scintillating reviews from the international media. Tens of thousands of visitors from across the world have continued to throng the Ikotun-Egbe based ministry in search of spiritual succor. But it does not end there. The man of God understands the challenges of the troubled world and has maintained a rare reputation for helping individuals; institutions and nations overcome their spiritual as well as socio-economic challenges through crusades and humanitarian efforts.

Through his ministry’s Emmanuel TV Partners, millions of lives, nations and destinies have been changed across the world. According to the man of God, true love always searches for whom to help whenever and wherever it is in a position to do so.

How he has been able to maturely manage the bad press emanating from the collapsed building incident remains very phenomenal. He has maintained a calm and unperturbed disposition – a quality that can only be God-given especially in situations of crisis. T.B. Joshua is the only Nigerian pastor that is hardly seen around the corridors of power. You will never find him in any government house because he believes that a true servant of God should be for all and not frolic around with politicians.

Born on June 12, 1963, in a rustic village of Arigidi in Akoko, Ondo state, Nigeria, Joshua is said to have spent 15 months in his mother’s womb. His birth and early development is also said to be shrouded in mysteries after narrowly escaping a boulder from a nearby quarry which came crashing inches near him in his parents’ house. He attended St. Stephens’ Anglican Primary School but failed to complete secondary school due to poverty. While in primary school, he was referred to as the small pastor and led evangelical activities. His ambition to join the Nigerian Army went crashing after the train that was to convey him developed fault along the way and left him stranded for six days.
Prophet T.B. Joshua also washed people’s feet on the muddy corners of Lagos and worked as a poultry attendant to earn a living. His ministry, The Synagogue, Church of All Nations, alongside the Emmanuel TV Partners, has become synonymous with acts of charity, healing and humanitarian efforts across the globe. Two years ago he was listed among the world’s famous people by www.thefamouspeople.com.

Man looses wife to a football bet

26-year-old Zimbabwean, Charles Jambaya has lost his wife to another man after wagering her in a football bet. He had pledged his 22-year-old wife Caroline Shumba to another man over the UEFA Champions League final between Real Madrid and Juventus. Jambaya made a verbal agreement with 30-year-old Eugene Gumbo that if Juventus lose the encounter he would give him his wife, while Gumbo wagered $500 in favour of a Madrid victory. Hell broke loose when Real Madrid defeated Juventus 4-1 and Eugene requested for his prize (Jambaya’s wife). The wife, who had no inkling she had been used as a wager in a bet, was stunned when Eugene told her that she had to go with him because he had won her as a prize in a football bet. She, however, refused to go with Eugene, seeking refuge with her aunt, who took the case to a traditional court. Jambaya told Chiefs at the Traditional Court he was not in a right state of mind when he made the pledge and he pleaded for mercy. Both men were fined an animal each.

Check out Reekardo Banks full name and music career story

Reekardo Banks real name is Ayoleyi Hanniel Solomon. He was born on the 6th of December, 1993. He is from Ondo State, Nigeria. Almost every member of his family is into music. His older sister is a gospel singer while his older brother is a music producer. Ayoleyi Hanniel Solomon was brought up in a very disciplined environment. Both his parents are pastors. At the age of 14, he graduated secondary school. Reekado Banks is a graduate of the University of Lagos. He has a B.Sc. degree in History and Strategic Study.

Music career

Reekado Banks started his music career in 2008. He recorded his first set of songs. They were produced by his elder brother who also taught him the basics of writing songs, singing, and producing. But most of his works at that time were relatively unpopular. He came into the spotlight in 2014 after he was signed by Don Jazzy to Mavin Records. He got the deal after his songs were selected from over five thousand songs submitted to Mavins Record in an online search for the latest talent.

He will always be grateful to his brother because he was the one who submitted some of his songs into the quest. Speaking in an interview, Reekado Banks said his brother sent the songs and was in contact with them on his (Reekado) behalf without Reekado Banks knowing about this. Reekado Banks also mentioned that he is a multi-talented artist who loves making different types of music because he believes people are different. And we all have different preferences when it comes to music.

Reekado Banks and family
Reekado Banks' journey to the top was not a bed of roses. While speaking about his music career in an interview, he confessed that his journey to the top was not an easy one. He said after informing his parents about his plan to pursue a career in music, he had to work to earn some money for his first record. He sold blenders in traffic and also worked as a manual laborer at a construction site. During his days in the university, he was told by one of his lecturers that he will never achieve his dreams and was prevented from retaking a test he missed.

Reekado Banks credited his eventual success to God. He said no amount of hard work and sacrifices would have helped him achieve something this big without the grace of God.

Mavin Records Crew
Reekado Banks released his first official single under Mavin Records, titled “Turn It Up” on the 21st of February, 2014. This was the same day he was signed by Don Jazzy to Mavin Records.

The Period Men hates

t's the period when football season is over. A period where there is little or no fun during the weekends or weekdays. On Saturday, June 3, 2017, Real Madrid won the Champions League which brought the football season to an end.

Now we are faced with an uneventful stretch of days before club football starts. Where is your face o' Lord? The Confederations Cup is the poor man's version of the World Cup. Friendly matches are boring as a Nigerian politician's speech.

For guys who are married or have girlfriends, there is no hiding place now. You will follow madam to every social outing and family event until you get tired of Jollof rice and beer. It's their time now. After enduring six months of weekend football and Champions League matches, it is now your time to watch E! or some senseless reality show.

For single guys, boredom has a new face. Watching old matches won't make things better and you are more than likely to lose your mind if you are monitoring the transfer window.

Football is an addiction and we are addicts. We need a weekly dose of games to keep us on a high. When football is over we have withdrawal pains. Symptoms include arguing over silly stats, old games and monitoring the transfer window every second.

The Nigerian Professional Football League would have helped to deal with our addiction but let's face it, Nigerian football is not on the same level as La Liga or the English Premier League.

It doesn't give us the same dose of adrenaline and tension that we are used to when watching our favourite team. As human beings, we are creatures of excitement. We live for the thrill and nerve-wracking moments, the pregnant silence when our favourite striker is one on one with a keeper.

No one has come up with the perfect antidote for post season blues. These next few weeks are going to be hard on us. The football games on TV will be pale in comparison to the no-nonsense footie during the regular league.

Here is to a few weeks in rehab till Ronaldo & co give us a shot of adrenaline again.

Ghanian church celebrates Chelsea Epl victory

dely attended church service, supervised by one of Ghana’s famous preachers, was held in the country on Sunday to celebrate English football club, Chelsea’s 2016/17 English Premier League title success.

The service which had a massive number in attendance and hosted by Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Markwei (an Arsenal fan) at the Living Streams International Church in Accra, was held with members dressed in their Chelsea jerseys while a cake was cut to celebrate the Stamford Bridge title.

Though the London-based club is kilometers away from the West African country, the fans of the club celebrated it gusto as the pastor preached the sermon under the theme ‘Learn to promote the success of others’.

The event, heavily publicized by another famous pastor, Rev. Azigiza Junior, who is an ardent Blues fan, saw supporters of some rival English sides also attending to hear the sermon.

Rev. Dr. Markwei told the title-starved fans of Arsenal and Manchester United who were in attendance that it is Godly to also celebrate the success of others.

“Fellowship with those who rejoice in your victory. They were 10th last year and we called them names thinking they can’t rise again but today here they are on top. With God nothing is impossible,” Rev. Markwei said in his sermon.
The exploits of former Chelsea stars Michael Essien and Marcel Desailly – both Ghanaians – have drawn a huge following for Chelsea in the West African country.

This results in massive rivalry between supporters of various English sides in the country with Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham having huge followers while West Ham has a growing fanbase because of their Ghanaian midfielder Andre Ayew.

So when the poster emerged few weeks ago over the pending church service, many thought it was meant to poke fun at supporters of their rival clubs.

A thrilling first half saw Ronaldo put Madrid ahead, becoming the first player to score in three different Champions League finals in the process.

Mario Mandzukic equalised for Juventus with a spectacular overhead kick that will live long in the memory.

But Madrid dominated the second half as Juve collapsed, Casemiro scoring with the help of a huge deflection before Ronaldo made sure of the victory from close-range, ensuring he finishes above Lionel Messi as the competition’s top scorer in the process.

Any hopes of a Juventus comeback were ended when substitute Juan Cuadrado was sent off 18 minutes after coming on, the winger receiving a second yellow for a clash with Sergio Ramos, before Madrid substitute Marco Asensio put the icing on the cake in the last minute.

Nigerian doctor bombards patient with love messages. ..gets suspended.

hris Uzoh, 40, a Nigerian medical doctor in the UK has been banned from practice for one year for trying to woo his patient by bombarding her with messages.

Daily Mail reports that Uzoh had sent the patient up to 20 messages, and at a point sent flowers and a card in his bid to woo her.

Uzoh started sending the patient text messages after getting her number from her records. he bragged about being a ‘good-looking guy’ and spent six weeks pestering the woman to try and get a date and told her that he had ‘huge earning potential’.

He also claimed to be ‘the best in his medical school’ as well as having written ‘several well cited scientific publications’.

The General Practitioner from Great Sankey, near Warrington, Cheshire, sent a message to the patient after 30 minutes of attending to her. She was booked to him after she complained of abdominal pain.

‘Sorry for this text message but I saw you and liked you and thought we could go on a date on the future. I am single and looking for a serious relationship and not intending to mess about,’ the message read.

In another voice mail, Uzor said he wanted to ‘hear her voice before he went to work’.

‘I’ve been feeling like a schoolboy meeting a girl he fancied for the first time. I haven’t felt this way in a while,’ another text message read.

Uzoh sent a card and flowers to the patient and wrote: ‘I wonder how else I would have met you if not this way. My heart is pure, I care, I hope it would be possible to make you mine some day.’

When she told him to stop pestering her, he said: ‘I was trying to be romantic – I did not mean to be creepy. I was excited about you.’

In yet another message Uzoh said: ‘How is it possible that a good looking guy who is a doctor, who has a job with huge earning potential, who was the best graduating doctor in his medical school, who started out as a urological surgeon with several well-cited scientific publications, who thinks you beautiful and special, who wants you – and you wouldn’t give him a chance? I’ve been in a Toronto and I couldn’t stop thinking about you.’

When Uzoh did not stop, the patient reported him to his colleagues at the Murdishaw Health Centre in Runcorn and he was reported to the General Medical Council.

The patient said:

I was really shocked to get that initial message from him because I trusted him as a doctor.
If I got that message now there is no way I would respond. I was in a difficult position particularly at that point so seeing him taking an interest was a nice thing.
The next morning I woke up and there was a further text message and voicemail message.
I remember I was doing my make-up and getting ready for work and I saw that he was calling but I didn’t want to pick up. He left a message saying: ‘Hi, I just wanted to hear your voice before I start my day.
Everyday I looked at my phone there was something from him whether it be a text message, missed call or a voicemail message.
As soon as I knew the flowers had been sent I knew that they would be from Dr Uzoh – there weren’t many people who knew my address at the time.
You’re being too full on – I’ve only met you once and I was your patient!
Uzor who was found guilty of misconduct and suspended for 12 months, later quit his job and is now working in Toronto, Canada.

UI STUDENTS UNION DISPELS RUMOUR OF UNION SUSPENSION. ...MAKES DEMAND.

Contrary to the announcement by the Vice Chancellor of the University of Ibadan, Professor Idowu Olayinka on Tuesday, that the Students Union of the institution has been proscribed indefinitely, the Students Union President of the university, Comrade Aderemi Ojo has said that the union remains intact.

Ojo made this declaration while addressing a joint press conference organized by the union’s executive council and the Students Representative Council of the institution on Thursday in Ibadan.

Ojo who was flanked by Secretary of the union, Comrade Uchechukwu Augustine and Speaker of the SRC Comrade Ibrahim Asiwaju said it was wrong for the Vice Chancellor to make such statement without Senate approval which he said was against the university regulations.

He said that the union was not a cube of sugar which can be dissolved anyhow.

He added that it was unfortunate that the university is waging an already lost battle against his government which has just spent 24 days in office.

“We are yet to receive any letter to that effect, our union is not a cube of sugar which can just be dissolved anyhow. You know all over the world, you deal with documents, we are yet to receive any document to that effect.
Ojo in his five-page address said contrary to insinuation that he verbally embarrassed the VC, the only time he spoke during his inauguration was when he was called to read his speech, and that he did not even mention anything like VC.

“My administration, the patriotic intelligencia was sworn into office on May 8. 2017,  just 24 days ago. At the said swearing in ceremony, our plans and visions for the union were intelligently highlighted in my inaugural speech, full text of which were well circulated and can be easily retrieved from several news platforms that published it.
“Gentlemen of the press, contrary to the widely circulated but falsely concocted story of the much respected VC that I insulted him at the inauguration, the only time I spoke at the said event was to deliver my speech and no part either directly mentioned the VC or implied insulted him, his personality of his office.
“It is, therefore, both laughable and ridiculous to hear that the sole reason supposedly offered by the management for the purported suspension of the union after 24 days in office was that the President supposedly insulted the Honourable Vice Chancellor.
Ojo while speaking against unlawful victimization of students by the institution, its agents and the police both on and off campus informed that it was wrong for the institution to have claimed that the union directed students to act contrary to the institution’s regulations.
“It has also been suggested, quite wrongly by the university that the union directed students to act contrary to university regulations. However, it is right to affirm that we have only followed the laws made by the university itself and nothing else.
“For instance, the direction of the SU for all students in the hostels to use hot plates in the Kitchenettes which the management generously built was made on the foundation of the laws for the same is provided for in Chapter 6 of the Students Information Handbook written and circulated by the university itself and also the ethics governing the halls of residence on campus.
“The union was only advising students to the law abiding and thus help the management keep the law it has magnanimously drafted.
He informed that the union took several steps to prevail on the management to heed to the appeals of the union but to no avail, saying the Monday’s protest was peaceful and earlier approved by the congress of the union.
“The generality of students of UI are law abiding, peaceful but conscious… A students union congress was summoned on 27th May 2017…at the congress, it was resolved among others that the students’ identity card which is a standing levy in the fees of every student must be received before examinations commence.
“It was on this basis that the generality of students in a peaceful manner organized ourselves and proceeded on a peaceful protest on Democracy Day, May 29, 2017. Not one person was flogged, no shop was looted, no stone was thrown, no bottle broke, in fact the students marched with our hands in the air.
“Let it be known at this juncture that the university echelon was well intimated of the proposed protest, and even the VC had requested a night before that the protest be delayed so he could address the congress and concede to our demands. Myself and the Speaker intentionally stalled at the congress, awaiting the presence of the VC but we waited in vain as he did not pick his call again when dialed several times.
He said it was unfortunate that the university could announce their suspension without any formal document to that effect.

“It was a complete shock when the VC on Democracy Day undemocratically, solely and autocratically against university regulations and without any senate approval proceeded to announce at a broadcast on Diamond FM, the school radio that the school was being shut down. We have learnt that the approval for that action was granted a day after! That is obviously unheard of in sane societies.
The Students’ Union President, however, after accusations and dispel of some claims on behalf of the union made 9-point-demand from the university management. He called for the “immediate release of the Students Union Building and all properties of the SU that have been wrongly seized.

“Immediate return of all undergraduate students to hall residence.
“Proper and transparent account of the fees paid for the issuance of ID cards from 2015/2016 academic session till date.
“Students must have the right house hot plates in the kitchenettes as provided for by the laws of the university.
“Distribution of ID cards before first semester examinations for the 2016/2017 academic session.
“Immediate call for a welfare board meeting to address the sundry welfare issues on campus.
“Reinstatement of all wrongfully and unjustly expelled or rusticated students by the university central student disciplinary committee.
“An immediate audit of the university bursary department, UI Ventures, UI Micro Finance Bank, office of the VC, office of DVC (administration), office of DVC (academic), office of Dean of Students, Hall management committee of all halls of residence.
“University central library should be open for use 24 hours everyday as stipulated in the students information handbook”.
