Jim Iyke apologises to Linda Ikeji for wrongfully accusing her!

Hehehehehehe, how come everyone just assumes Linda Ikeji is the culprit once a star is talked about in a blog.

Nollywood actor, Jim Iyke, has finally apologised to blogger, Linda Ikeji, days after a tweet fight began when he accused Ikeji of publishing an image of him eating roasted corn in Amsterdam, Holland.

Although this will be the second time in three months that the former model and blogger will be coming under attack from a celebrity as a result of stories published on her blog, thankfully, this time she seems innocent.

Oh my gosh! Kanye West Tweets that he just fu**ed Kim so hard!

I find this very difficult and disturbing to believe! Just when we're just coming out of the shock of Kanye West calling his lady a bitch, he's done it again by allegedly tweeting that he just fucked her real hard. I mean, what sort of man says that about his girl?

I hear he quickly removed it almost immediately he tweeted it but within those short seconds, some of his followers had already saved it!

I really hope his account was hacked and used by some wicked, twisted minded people otherwise, I'll say, 'Kim, please run!, run for your dear life!. Your man thinks you're nothing but a piece of dildo. *sorry kim, the truth hurts*

Hajia Gambo                                      Funmilayo Ransome Kuti                                 Magaret Ekpo

The new N5,000 note which is to be introduced is not going to feature the face of Late President Yar'Adua like we all heard but, according to CBN, The faces of three prominent Nigerian female activists are to be used on the new note.

They are those of

• late politician and social mobiliser, Margaret Ekpo (1914 – 2006);
• late politician and activist Hajia Gambo Sawaba (1933 – 2001) 
• late politician and women’s right activist Funmilayo Kuti (1900 -1978). 

 Addressing journalists in Abuja, the governor of the CBN, Sanusi Lamido said that the plan is aimed at enhancing the quality of banknotes, incorporate a more effective feature for the visually impaired as well as reduce cost of production, distribution and disposal of banknotes.

 He said that under the new structure, N5, N10 and N20 notes will be coined while N50, N100, N200, N500 and N1, 000 will be redesigned with new security features.

What do you think of this development? Is it going to be good or bad for our economy?

Phone accessories seller arrested with N27m hard drug

Officers of Nigeria’s National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, have apprehended a 26-year old man in connection with 8.5kg of methamphetamine concealed inside metal pipes on Tuesday.

The suspect, Afunaya Thaddeus Izunna, who sells phone accessories at Ikeja, Lagos, southwest Nigeria, was found at the weekend to be in possession of the drug during the screening of passengers on Ethiopian airline flight to New Delhi, India.

The drug is worth N27 million and was discovered when anti-narcotic officers insisted in searching the metal pipes inside his luggage.

The NDLEA Airport Commander, Mr. Hamza Umar said that the drug with a total weight of 8.5kg is one of the highest seizures recently recorded at the Lagos airport.

NDLEA quoted the suspect to have disclosed that he is married with 2 children.

“I am a trader. I sell phone accessories at Ikeja to take care of my wife and two children. It was a friend that gave me the metal pipes that I should take them to India for a fee. I did not know when, how and where it was packed. I was only given the bag containing the pipes. Unfortunately, when I got to the airport during screening, NDLEA officers discovered the drug and I was arrested. This is my first time of smuggling drugs. I hope my wife will understand and forgive men,” NDLEA quoted the suspect as saying.

Video of crazy Rantings of a Racist black woman on London Bus

Looks like this woman is a total lunatic. She was ranting and insulting white passengers that were in a packed London bus while affirming that  she's black and proud. She seems to be under the influence of some kind of hard drugs.

She began the insults by shouting: 'I'm so glad I'm born black and I'll die black. I was born African and I'll f**king die African. The only reason I was born in this country is because you f**king people brought my people here'

At some point she said: 'They all want to be f**king black, they all put fat in their lips and their bottoms and sit down on the sun bed to be black!'

Even the queen was not spared insults and she was very vocal in informing the world that she hates whites and can't stand them.

I beg, I can't quote everything she said, click on the video below to watch and hear her insanities. *Warning: The video is shocking, she used lots of insulting words. Don't click if you can't stomach it*

Young Nigerian Woman Cynthia Udoka Osokogu Murdered by Facebook 'Friends' in Lagos

The rate at which people disappear these days is so alarming. It's either they're kidnapped for ritual purposes or used as ransom to extort money from their families. Some are lucky enough to come back alive while others get killed even after the ransom has been paid. 

The story of Cynthia Ukoka is particularly painful to me because it could have been any of us. We've all got facebook, twitter and other social media friends. I have met and made lasting friends from social media and even stayed with a lady I met on Nairaland when I went to Port Harcourt sometime ago and she stayed with me in Lagos too when she came visiting Lagos. Till date, we're still friends, even though she eventually moved to the UK. 

How it all happened, according to Bellanaija.com.

Alleged Cannibal Clifford Orji dies in Kirikiri Prison

I'm sure most Nigerians remember Clifford Orji who first made news about 13 years ago as the horrid man who roasted and ate human flesh. It was even said that lots of body parts were found stored in his freezer which he claimed he sold to notable politicians for rituals. 

He was arrested in 1999 under the bridge at Toyota Bus Stop along the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway in Lagos  and some people said he was mad at the time while others said he was a ritualise and not actually mad. 

While in  Kirikiri Mazimum Prison, he totally went mad, going about naked, vomiting and even defecating on himself. 

The bad thing is that he was never at any time admitted into any psychiatric home for treatment as most of the homes rejected him. 

He finally died on Friday, 17th August in his sleep at 46 years old

Face of a father who continuously raped his 14 year old daughter for 7 years!

Elijah Olusesi

What a sad sad tale. Too many very sick people are going about, abusing innocent children and stealing away their innocence. This is indeed a most despicable act. 

A 45-year old bricklayer, Elijah Olusesi who has been having sex with his 14-year old daughter (name withheld) since she was  seven, has been apprehended by members of O’odua Peoples Congress, OPC.

He was caught by the OPC members who had laid ambush for him at Adeosun Street, Adiyan, a remote community in Ifo Local Government, Ogun State, Southwest Nigeria.

His wife, Shade, had fled to Adiyan when the man started sleeping with the little girl.

It was learnt by our correspondents that he evaded arrest for 15 days before his eventual arrest in the midnight recently.

24 year old man pierced through head by 6ft pole miraculously survives.

Miracles still happen, that's the only explanation I have for this very fortunate  24-year-old construction worker who survived after a 6-foot metal bar fell from above and pierced his head. 

Luiz Alexandre Essinger, chief of staff at Rio de Janeiro's Miguel Couto Hospital, said doctors successfully withdrew the iron bar from Eduardo Leite's skull during a five-hour surgery. 

 scans showing the of the horrific injury suffered Eduardo Leite, and how miraculously survived

The bar fell from the fifth floor of a building under construction, went through Leite's hard hat, entered the back of his skull and exited between his eyes, Essinger said, adding: 'It really was a miracle' that Leite survived. 

Leite was conscious when he arrived at the hospital and narrated what had happened. He was lucid and showed no negative consequences after the operation. 

What a lucky break! He sure cheated death.
