Why I Rejected A 2015 Rolls Royce Gift For My 60th Birthday - Pastor Tunde Bakare


While preaching recently to his church members, the general overseer of Latter Rain Assembly and convener of the Save Nigeria Group, Pastor Tunde Bakare confirmed the viral reports that he was gifted with a 2015 Rolls Royce for his 60th birthday, which he out rightly rejected.

According to him, he rejected it because Nigerians can’t be living in abject poverty why being given such a gift. 

"More importantly the company that sent the car, we are not sure if the company paid for it, or an individual did or a government official, but the company was involved in an $800,000 per car deal with a top Nigerian official not too long ago and the pastor wasn’t ready to get into such ‘mess’ he said.
“I was sitting at home one day and they brought in a brand new 2015 Rolls-Royce into my house. My 60th birthday was coming. I looked at it, kai! This is awkward. When you open your car, your door goes this way, its own door goes that way. It clears the way so that there is nothing blocking your way.
“I saw a button. They said, ‘It is an umbrella, sir. It is on every door in case it is raining, you just push it and the umbrella comes out.’ I said: Na wa o. Then I said: Oya, leave this place.
“Where is the road that I will ride it upon? My heart is not in things like this. I asked my son to take a photograph of the brand new car as a proof,” the pastor stated.

Prince James Uche Was Never Neglected By Nollywood - AGN Speaks


Recently, there have been media report that Nollywood actor, Prince James Uche who was once vice president of Actors Guild Of Nigeria(AGN), was abandoned by the guild and suffering from heart disease and kidney failure.

Reacting to the reports, AGN national president, Ibinabo Fiberesima on Tuesday, released a statement.
See it after cut....
The National Executive Council of the Actors Guild of Nigeria would like to react to the story make the rounds especially in the social media that AGN has abandoned Actor, Prince James Uche.
The Guild took over the responsibility of Prince James Uche in September 2013, when we got the information about his health issue. The National President visited him and he refused to be taken to hospital or go on the health plan of the Guild. That he wanted cash. N100,000 was given to him.
In May 2014, we visited him again to check on him and this is what followed. We took him to R. Jolad Hospital Gbagada, Lagos State; comprehensive tests were conducted and were diagnosed of complications arising from HBP/Hypertension which led to stroke of the eye.
He was admitted and well treated at the hospital for over a week before he was certified well and discharged by the doctor.
After that, we took him to Eye Foundation for further optical treatment. Series of tests were conducted on him and was diagnosed of complications arising from the primary ailment of HBP/hypertension. 
 The medical team discovered that the eye vessel that supplies blood to the eyes was damaged as a result of a stroke he suffered many years ago, and nothing could be done.
It was then recommend that he keeps the blood pressure low at all times to avoid further complications which could lead to total blindness.
To ensure he gets regular medication for the HBP, the Guild enrolled him on our Health Plan, HMO which we domiciled at R.Jolad Hospital Gbadaga close to his place of abode.
We equally obtained a dietary guide to help curtail the high blood pressure.
On May 26, 2014 during the first year anniversary of Lagos State Chapter, we presented a cheque covering two years rent to his agent in presence of all members of Lagos State Chapter.
The President, Chief Ibinabo Fiberesima also approved pocket money allowance as well as food items for him.
Between June 2014 December 2014, the Guild has been in constant touch with Prince James Uche and he has never told us of any kidney ailment neither did all the tests conducted on him both at R.Jolad Hospital and Eye Foundation Hospital indicate any sign of kidney problem.
During the medical expedition, Prince Uche told us that his church took him for dialysis three times and they found no problem with his kidney.
Much as we would not like to join issues or publicize any assistance offered to our members, we sincerely wish to set the records straight that Actors Guild of Nigeria did not neglect Prince James Uche. We have done everything humanly possible to assist Prince James Uche. If anyone wants to assist feel free.
If you want any clarifications please call the Secretary of the Guild on 08033029401. Also you can visit the National Secretariat at 17 Ajao rd. off Olufemi st, off Ogunlana drive, Surulere
We remain committed to the welfare of our members which is top most priority on the National President’s program.
THANK YOU
IBINABO FIBERESIMA
NATIONAL PRESIDENT

Nollywood Prince James Uche Battling With Heart Disease, In Need Of Assistance


Nollywood actor, Prince James Uche, who was once a vice president of AGN, has been issued with a quick notice to leave his Gbagada home despite the fact that he is currently battling with an undisclosed heart disease and kidney failure, which has kept him away from the screens for 8 years. 
His wife is said to have abandoned him few years ago with their 3 children.

James now spends most of his time in his church, Our Lady the Queen of Peace Catholic Church near his home. He revealed his sickness started since 2007;
"Something struck me on the left side of my face about eight years ago, when I was heading for the burial ceremony of Pete Edochie’s mother at Nteje in Anambra State.
“I got to the venue of the ceremony and stayed in the town for two days. On the third day, I suddenly found that I could no longer move my body freely. Although I barely managed to get up on my feet, I could not climb up the staircase.

“I had to wait till the following Sunday before deciding to leave for Lagos. But my friend, Edoche, persuaded me to follow him to Enugu where he lived at the time. I slept in Enugu on that day. In the morning I went for treatment in a hospital.

“After the doctor had finished examining me, he stared at me with his mouth half open in shock for a long time.

"When I asked what was wrong, he said I should have been dead. He took my pulse again and then, sweating, said my blood pressure was abnormally high. He said it had risen up to 300 and it was a miracle that I was still alive.”
According to reports, Uche’s health has continually deteriorated over the past years. Aside battling from the heart disease, he is also slowly losing his memory and sight.

As if to worsen it, he is also suffering from kidney problem. His kidney is said to not function properly and there is fear it it might be completely destroyed. He was lucky to be helped by church members who paid for his diagnosis five times in 2013. But now it is in dare need of medical attention.
Uche is really looking emaciated and financial support is mainly coming from the church. This is very sad. Fans are already pleading with the AGN president, top notch movie stars, and good Nigerians to help him so that we don’t lose another star like we recently did.



I Will Never Forgive Buhari For Killing My Brother In His Prime – Nkem Owoh(Osofia)



With the general elections drawing close and growing attention being paid to the military regime of APC presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, new fact has emerged that unknown to many, Bartholomew, the elder brother of Nollywood actor, Nkem Owoh was killed during the military regime of the retired general. 

According to Breaking Times, an unnamed source who did not want his name in print revealed that the then 26-year old Bartholomew was among three people – including 30-year old Lawal Ojuolape and 29-year old Bernard Ogedengbe – who were notoriously killed by firing squad on allegations of drug trafficking.

The widely condemned killing of the trio in 1985 was criticized because General Buhari back-dated a decree stipulating death sentence for drug trafficking offenders, whereas the alleged crime was committed before he came into power. Buhari changed the law just to kill the three young men.
According to the source, Osuofia and the rest of his family are yet to come to terms with the public execution of their son and sibling, especially.
Owoh-tirr

The source said: “Nkem Owoh and his family are so distraught with Buhari for killing their brother at the young age of 26. Every time he sees Buhari on TV, he weeps bitterly over his brother. He can’t even believe that Buhari has the nerve to seek re-election as President.”

Rita Dominic Lists GEJ's Achievements; Reasons Why She Will Vote For Him Again


Nollywood actress Rita Dominic and GEJ campaign team yesterday sent out this press release to endorse Goodluck Ebele Jonathan for reelection.
Rita Dominic said she is voting for Jonathan again because he has a long list of achievement not recognized by the media. The movie star said Jonathan signed Freedom of information bill into law and allowed women into power. Rita further said she believes Goodluck Jonathan will tackle the issue of security in the next four years without any assistance.
The press statement reads:
I have followed the 2015 election with keen interest and have deduced that this is definitely a critical vote in Nigeria’s young democratic history. As a result I feel that this is not a time to keep silent in the face of the trials and tribulations we face as citizens of Nigeria.
First and foremost, I would love to make a passionate appeal to my beloved fans and generality of Nigerians by saying that by God’s grace, there will be life after the elections have come and gone. We should not destroy relationships or in some extreme cases resort to violence because our choices of candidates differ. I have noticed that there seems to be so much intolerance for the views and choices of others, which has resulted in cyber bullying and intimidation. Voting is a constitutional right and a matter of personal choice and it is important that we respect this.
That said I would like to let everyone know that I will be voting for President Goodluck Jonathan and Vice- President Namadi Sambo on February 14, 2015. I have outlined some of the major reasons for my vote in a short video titled “I will vote again” directed by Mildred Okwo below.

Celine Dion & Pastor Enoch Adeboye Tops List Of 'Most Admired 2015' In Nigeria[Full List]


Most Admired 2015-16
While UN ambassordor and Oscar-winning star, Angelina Jolie tops list of most admired woman in the world, in a poll conducted by YouGov in over 23 countries, Music star, Celine Dion was voted as most admired woman in Nigeria.
The list, which shows 10 admired men and 10 admired women, features only 3 Nigerians on the list – Redeemed Christian Church of God General Overseer Pastor Enoch Adeboye, Business mogul Aliko Dangote and Nigeria’s President Goodluck Jonathan.
Check out the pictorial list for the World & for Nigeria below.
admiredfpMost Admired 2015-16

Explaining how they arrived at the list, YouGov said;
‘In December YouGov gathered open-ended nominations from panellists across 34 countries, asking them simply: “Thinking about people alive in the world today, which [man or woman] do you most admire?” These nominations were then used to compile a list of the 25 men and 25 women who received the most nominations and were nominated in at least 2 countries. An additional 5 popular local figures were added to the lists for individual countries. In January, 23 of the 34 countries were polled again in representative* surveys, where respondents were asked two questions: “who do you truly admire?”, where they could make multiple selections, and “who do you MOST admire?”, where they could pick only one. These two numbers were then combined into the score (displayed to the right of each name above.) By asking respondents those two questions, we can understand both the breadth (i.e. global reach) and the intensity of a person’s support, which we regard as both important measures. Altogether, we polled in countries that constitute nearly two-thirds of the world’s population. However, some parts of the world were better represented than others, so we weighted up the impact certain countries had on the final scores and weighted down others so the global scores more accurately reflect the breakdown of sentiment in the world overall.’

Hip-hop Mogul, Suge Knight Charged With Murder Over Hit-And-Run

Former hip-hop mogul Marion 'Suge' Knight has been charged with murder and attempted murder after he ran two men over in his truck.
Prosecutors claim the Death Row record label founder deliberately struck a friend - who died - and another man after an argument on a movie set.
Defence attorney James Blatt says Knight, who handed himself in to police, ran the pair over by accident as he tried to escape a vicious attack.
The 49-year-old's initial bail of $2m (£1.3m) was revoked after a court commissioner agreed with authorities that he was a potential flight risk and could intimidate witnesses.
Knight, who was out on bail in a separate robbery case when the men were hit, is scheduled to appear in court in Compton to be arraigned on four felony counts.

Terrible! Abandoned Day-old Baby Dies after Lagos Crowd Gathered to Take Pics But No one Saved Him


Last Wednesday, January 28, a new-born baby was dumped by the roadside in the Abule Egba area of Lagos by a mentally unstable woman.

An eyewitness and trader, Mrs. Atanda Kuforiji, told Punch Newspapers that they (residents) were taken aback by the sight of the abandoned baby.

“The baby was wrapped in a sack and placed by the roadside. I saw a crowd gather and decided to have a look; the child was still alive. People took pictures of the baby. His mouth was covered with a plaster to prevent him crying out. Everybody was saying what came into their heads, but nobody offered to help the baby,” she said.
It was learnt that many of the dwellers in the area were too scared to pick the baby from where he was dumped.

Another trader, Iya Monsura, who also spoke to Punch newspaper said “The child was alive as of 11am, but when government officials came around 5pm, he was dead. They took the dead body away.”

Jonathan receives long-awaited audit report on missing $20bn oil money


PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan, on Monday, received the report of the forensic investigation he ordered into the accounts of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
Jonathan had ordered the investigation in March last year, following allegations of missing funds from the corporation’s accounts made by former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and now Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi.
The firm engaged for the job, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, has concluded its assignment and, led by its country Senior Partner, Uyi Akpata, presented its report to the president at the State House, Abuja, with Jonathan promising that he would get experts to look at it as quickly as possible.
Akpata told the president that “it is a privilege for us to have carried this exercise out on behalf of the government and I hope that you will find this report useful.”
Receiving the voluminous document, President Jonathan acknowledged the controversy which surrounded the accounts of the NNPC, saying that Nigerians were eager to know the exact position.
