The security guard who opened the gate was said to have been tied up by the armed men. They were said to have made straight for the victim’s room in the hotel and shot him dead. Sources say the Millionaire was killed for having an "adulterous affair" with one of the guy's wife. According to Punch, the gunmen took the late Ogunnusi’s phone before fleeing the hotel. A source said the men were four in number and brought a car which was parked outside. He said, “While one was in the car, three went in on a motorcycle, pretending to be customers; they got separate rooms to stay. However, no sooner than they got their keys that they went to the man’s room. One knocked at his door as if he was one of the hotel workers. As he opened the door, they opened gunfire on him.”

    There are two sides to every story; While some are alleging that the guy [Bara] and the beauty queen [Adaeze] were at one point dating themselves, but things went wrong and she stopped "cooperating" and the guy decided to deal with her. She is insisting she didn't sleep with him and that's got him angry. Sadly, many so called pageants are just avenues for men to sleep with ladies anyhow. Her story: I called the contact phone number which was on the advert page for the Miss Nollywood 2015/2016 after filling the online form and making the bank registration payment. Mr Barakumo Odede who picked the call asked me to order for tickets which I will sell like other contestants which is a criteria to be a potential winner of the pageant. I then sold tickets worth #40,000 which I gave to Mr Barakumo.

A picture of a 28 year old lady who wedded her 78 year old soulmate in Kogi State, has emerged with many wondering what joy she derives. Like the popular saying, age is just number but 'true love' conquers all, maybe she does not find the real love she deserves in younger guys so she went for someone who has tasted life and know what it is to care and protect a woman. The 28 year old lady was seen in tears of joy while taking her marital vow with the love of her life. Well, your opinion is allowed though. Even if the man is above 100years but well loaded with good things of life, they will marry.  With money, ladies can marry any man. True or false? Ladies in the house just say the truth, will you marry a man thrice your age?  Post your comments below

An 8 year old Yemeni child bride, recently died on her wedding night from internal hemorrhaging as a result of forced s*x. She was married to a man five times her age. As disgusting as the tradition of marrying off children to much older men is, it is common practice in Yemen. More than a quarter of the female population are married before the age of 15. This and similar cases have enraged people from all over the world who are working on stopping this barbaric tradition.  However, even though they work hard in an attempt to stop this practice, they are not finding it easy. Yemen, as an impoverished country, poor families makes profit from this practice and doesn’t plan on giving it up so easily. Poor families are basically forced to accept “bride-prices”, by which they receive about $100 for their daughters who are later sold off to be married.

  Pastor Anita Ebhodaghe has refuted claims that she has reconciled with the General Overseer of Christ Embassy, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, and returned to the church. Ebhodaghe, in a statement by her solicitors, Attwaters Jameson Hill, on February 8, had confirmed the dissolution of the clergywoman’s marriage with Oyakhilome, wherein she announced that she would drop Oyahkilome from her name henceforth. Several blogs ignited an online frenzy last week with reports that the former couple had settled their differences out of court and that they had gotten back together.  But Ebhodaghe, in a statement on her blog on Thursday, denied allegations that she had made up with the televangelist. She said, “It has been brought to my attention that there are persistent rumours and misinformation about my marital status being circulated and I would like to address the certain reconciliation rumours with this statement. “Further to the formal notification of the dissolution of marriage made by my

A total sum of N2.33trn was allocated to the Presidency, National Assembly and the Judiciary within the last 10 years, figures obtained from the Budget Office of the Federation have revealed. This is based on the allocations approved in the budget by the National Assembly within the 2007 and 2016 fiscal periods.

  FORMER militant leader, Government Ekpempuolo, alias Tompolo, again on Sunday, said he does not know the Niger Delta Avengers, NDA, and urged the militant group to cease blowing up oil facilities and embrace dialogue if it was truly fighting for Niger Deltans. Tompolo, in a statement, said: “I wish to appeal to you (Niger Delta Avengers) once again to stop the bombing of oil facilities in the Niger Delta region, and embrace the path of dialogue with the Federal Government of Nigeria, as the government is ready to hear you out on whatever issues you wish to discuss with it.” “You guys know that I do not know you and how to reach you, except through the mass media. If truly, as you guys claimed, that you are fighting for the well-being of the people of the Niger Delta, then you must adhere to this appeal, otherwise, the world will label you as criminals,” he said. The ex-militant leader asserted: “You members of the Niger Delta Avengers group are aware that some mischievous persons ha

  The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has released the Managing Director of Fidelity Bank, Mr. Nnamdi Okonkwo, who was arrested last Wednesday for allegedly helping a former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, to launder $153m.  The EFCC had taken the bank MD before an Ikeja Magistrate’s Court last week where the court ordered that he remained in EFCC custody for a week.   However, a reliable source at the commission told our correspondent that Okonkwo made useful statements on the case and had given detectives all the information they needed, thus he was no longer needed. The source said the bank boss would be charged before a Federal High Court in Lagos next week for alleged money laundering, conspiracy and fraud. The detective, who spoke to our correspondent on the condition of anonymity, said that the $153m emanated from the account of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation. We believe the $153m is part of the money missing from the NNPC account

My compatriots: It is one year today since our administration came into office. It has been a year of triumph, consolidation, pains and achievements. By age, instinct and experience, my preference is to look forward, to prepare for the challenges that lie ahead and rededicate the administration to the task of fixing Nigeria. But I believe we can also learn from the obstacles we have overcome and the progress we made thus far, to help strengthen the plans that we have in place to put Nigeria back on the path of progress.   We affirm our belief in democracy as the form of government that best assures the active participation and actual benefit of the people. Despite the many years of hardship and disappointment, the people of this nation have proved inherently good, industrious tolerant, patient and generous.  The past years have witnessed huge flows of oil revenues. From 2010 average oil prices were $100 per barrel. But economic and security conditions were deteriorating. We campaigne

  Over N39tn lost in the country’s economy, crude oil theft, official corruption and electoral campaign funding were responsible for a larger percentage of the loss. The exchange rate of N130 to a dollar was used in the conversion of funds under the Obasanjo-led administration while N150 was adopted for those under the Jonathan-led administration, being the average official rates during the tenures. N3tn – NNPC, NPDC unremitted funds Former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Mr. Lamido Sanusi, now the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II, had written former President Goodluck Jonathan, accusing the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation of failing to account for $49bn revenue, which should have been remitted to the Federation Account. He recently said the corporation could only account for $29bn of the ‘missing’ fund. He said some oil companies paid taxes and royalties in oil, and the NNPC sold this oil on behalf of FIRS. “No reasonable explanation for $20bn (NNPC);  $6bn

  I am yet to see any positive change. About a year ago I voted for a man I believe could do the job. I am just wandering when we shall begin to see the real changes we asked for , or rather, the change we were promised. Though the anti-corruption war is on, victory is still far off, as we are yet to the big fishes in jail. Meanwhile, we have see a lot in terms of price increases everywhere; Electricity bills have increased without power supply Petrol bill has also gone up.  Food prices and transportation cost have all gone up. The average Nigerian is now at least 30% poorer now than we were as at January 1, 2016. That simply means inflation has taken out over 30% of our purchasing power. Where is the change? NORTHERNERS ARE NOW THE HEADS OF KEY AGENCIES: Is Nigeria going the way of NATIONAL CAKE again?  Is this part of the promised CHANGE?     Before I forget they also own about 70% Nigeria oil wealth. Herdsmen invading Villages killing, maiming,
