Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm are proud to inform you that it seems someone has finally tied Peter, Paul and Jude Okoye together in a room and gotten to the root of the media fracas that has been ongoing for some weeks.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">
The Psquare brothers and their ex-manager, Jude Okoye, some minutes ago posted a similar message on their Instagram pages deciding to let go of all the hurt between them.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">
The message which reads “That it took our stupidity to realize that FAMILY comes first, We are VERY SORRY” came up on all three social media accounts and suffice to say, this marks the end of the saga.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">
While many have from the onset doubted the integrity of the fight calling the music group, Psquare out for what has been termed a publicity stunt, we wait for the next few weeks to clarify the integrity of the ‘fight’.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">

There is a reason why they are called Africa’s most famous and biggest music group.</div>

If you have ever been to a<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Psquare</strong> concert outside the shores of Nigeria, you’d be marvelled at the way fans -especially the female- adore them.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
While many cry, some even go as far as fainting at the sound of their voices.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
So while the crisis in the world of Psquare ensued, it was no surprise when two female fans recorded videos of themselves sobbing profusely, and urging their favourite group to reunite after Peter Okoye’s revealing interview appeared to have signaled the end of Psquare.</div>

Ekiti state governor, Ayo Fayose, said on Tuesday, that the elections conducted in the past few months has proven that God is angry with President Muhammadu Buhari.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
Fayose said all the polls conducted since Buhari became president have been violence-ridden and bloody.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
Speaking with journalists in Abuja on Tuesday, the Peoples Democratic Party chieftain stated that Buhari would have never become president if the election that heralded him in, had been marred by violence.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
“I am telling you the truth. Power doesn’t come from anywhere. God rules in the affairs of men. Oppressing, bringing and cutting people down, taking their blood, God is angry. The way this government is taking people down, God is angry. God isn’t happy. Go to Rivers, they kill people.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
“Go to Akwa Ibom, they kill people. Go to Bayelsa, they kill people, incarcerate innocent people. God is angry with Buhari. You can’t continue to take the blood of the innocent.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
“Look at my predictions for the year 2016 for Nigeria, everything has come to pass. This is a different ball game. He that will take me, he that will go against me must first of all defeat God. If these were the kind of violence that greeted Buhari’s election would he ever be president?”</div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
Last month, Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh-Churchill and her husband, <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Oladunni Olakunle Churchill</strong> welcomed a baby boy in the United States.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
The actress recently had a sit-down with Golden Icons for her first post-baby interview to talk about life as a mother, a new wife, among other major topics.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
When asked if she ever knew she would end up with Oladunni, she said ‘No, I didn’t know.’</div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="td-post-content" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-top: 16px; padding-bottom: 16px;">
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 26px;">
On why she kept his identity hidden for a while, she said: “This is the only relationship i have actually respected so much. There was just something about him that wanted me to protect him and also him to protect me. It was magical. Not like i knew he was going to be my husband but for whatever reason, he just needed the respect and privacy he could get.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 26px;">
On what set him apart from other men: “He’s different in all ramification. He’s very loving, caring and above all he’s very Godly.I think he’s one man i didn’t have to give my money to be with me. He respects me so much, loves me so much, teaches me so much and like is said he’s someone who brought me close to God.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 26px;">

<span style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25px;">Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian are being sued for more than $180million after being hit with a lawsuit from investment firm Hillair Capital Management over their make-up line, Kardashian beauty.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25px;"><br /></span>

According to <span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: proxima-nova-italic, arial, sans-serif; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="http://m.tmz.com/#article/2016/03/21/kim-khloe-kourtney-kardashian-sued-beauty-company/" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #c03c3c; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">TMZ</a></span>, the three sisters partnered with a company called Boldface in 2012 to launch a makeup line called "Khroma Beauty." A year later they were blocked from using the name "Khroma," which led to a name change to "Kardashian Beauty."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: proxima-nova, arial, sans-serif; font-size: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 0.93333em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Boldface began to flop, and Hillair Capital Management (HCM) came in to save the day by offering the girls $10 million to save their line.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: proxima-nova, arial, sans-serif; font-size: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 0.93333em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="font-size: 19px; line-height: 22px;">The management company wants its $10 million back, as well as what they would have made had the women played along, citing up to $180 million in lost revenues.</span></div>

Hulk Hogan's legal team may have landed the finishing blow on Gawker Media.<br />
<br />
On Monday, a Florida jury awarded Hogan<span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5em; max-width: 100%; outline: none;"> $25 million in punitive damages, according to the </span>Associated Press<span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5em; max-width: 100%; outline: none;">, which comes in addition to the resolution of a </span>$115-million lawsuit<span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5em; max-width: 100%; outline: none;"> Friday that went in Hogan's favor.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5em; max-width: 100%; outline: none;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5em; max-width: 100%; outline: none;">Gawker was sued for posting a video on Oct. 4, 2012 that featured Hogan having sex with a friend's wife. Hogan wasn't aware he was being recorded.<br />
<br />
The Gawker defense team protested the prosecution's request for punitive damages, stating that Friday's monetary penalty already exceeded the company's estimated worth of $83 million.<br />
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1f1f1f; font-family: proxima-nova, sans-serif; line-height: 22px; max-width: 100%; outline: none;">
Gawker Media is on the hook for $15 million, owner Nick Denton will pay $10 million, and editor A.J. Daulerio is responsible for $100,000.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
Nollywood actress and President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, has revealed that she almost committed suicide when she was sent to Kirikiri prison in 2009.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
Fiberesima, in 2005, accidentally killed a Lagos-based medical doctor, Dr Giwa Suraj, in an auto accident along Lekki–Epe expressway, Lagos.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
But a few days ago, the Appeal Court dismissed her appeal and affirmed the High Court’s judgement, which had initially sentenced her to five years imprisonment for manslaughter.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
Back in jail and unable to make bail, an interview she granted Vanguard, a week before the Appeal Court ruling, has surfaced.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
In the interview, Fiberesima revealed that she recently battled health challenges, as lumps were found, and removed from her breasts, hence her crusade to actualize the health insurance scheme of the AGN.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
“The welfare of my members comes before any other thing. We must continue to push on our health insurance scheme for our members. I have my own health challenges too. I went for a test and they found a growth- a lump in my breasts which I had to remove. So, if we don’t do these tests continuously anything can happen.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
“We usually take our lives for granted. You must continue to go for routine medical examinations. That’s what AGN is all about. We are here to ensure that our members are properly taken care of. We can’t get our money in the bank to pay for our health insurance because they froze the account. I opened the account before the case started.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
“We are back on track and everything is beginning to happen again. From next week, we would start touring all the states with a free computerized eye screening exercise for all members. We are getting back to our rhythm after all the distractions. “Our members are the ones that have suffered.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
“I think it is time we helped them and pay attention to them. We have lost a lot of our members to death recently. It is very painful because we have not been able to pay for insurance scheme following the crises in the guild.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
“Every time they want to throw things at me, they would bring it up. I didn’t steal anybody’s money and I am not a criminal. I was involved in an accident and I have internally remained sorry that it happened. They said I am going to jail again. I almost died the first time I was sent to jail in 2009. I almost committed suicide. But thank God that He brought me out of that depression.”</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">
Veteran international and multiple WWE belt winner, Hulk Hogan has won his lawsuit against Gawker and has been awarded and compensation sum of $115million in damages by a jury in Florida after the website posted a leaked sex video that showed him engaging in sexual intercourse with his best friend’s wife without his knowledge.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">
The jury awarded Hogan $55million for economic injuries and $60million for emotional distress.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">
Hogan broke down in tears in the courtroom as the jury’s verdict was read.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">

Gawker will appeal the case, but under Florida law will still have to <span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">hand over the monetary damages.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">
Gawker founder Nick Denton said outside the courthouse following the verdict; ‘Given key evidence and the most important witness were both improperly withheld from this jury, we all knew the appeals court will need to resolve the case.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">
‘I want to thank our lawyers for their outstanding work and am confident that we would have prevailed at trial if we had been allowed to present the full case to the jury.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">
‘That’s why we feel very positive about the appeal that we have already begun preparing, as we expect to win this case ultimately.’</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">
Gawker released Hulk Hogan’s sex tape after he openly talked about it in the media. They say talking about it in the media gave them the right to release the tape because the public needed to know.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">
Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, said he did not know the encounter was caught on camera.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">
He also said during the trial he had his lawyers ask Gawker to take down the tape and told them they could still keep their copy about the contents, but they refused.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">
Then, after Hogan filed his lawsuit, a judge asked Gakwer to take down the video.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">
The site published an article soon after with the headline; ‘A Judge Told Us to Take Down Our Hulk Hogan Sex Tape Post. We Won’t.’</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">
They wrote in the post; ‘We publish all manner of stories here. Some are serious, some are frivolous, some are dumb. I am not going to make a case that the future of the Republic rises or falls on the ability of the general public to watch a video of Hulk Hogan f****** his friend’s ex-wife.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">
‘But the Constitution does unambiguously accord us the right to publish true things about public figures.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">
‘And Campbell’s order requiring us to take down not only a very brief, highly edited video excerpt from a 30-minute Hulk Hogan f******session but also a lengthy written account from someone who had watched the entirety of that fucking session, is risible and contemptuous of centuries of First Amendment jurisprudence.’</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">
The video was eventually removed from the site.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">
<span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">Hulk Hogan’s people said the video shouldn’t have been leaked because Hulk Hogan was entitled to his privacy and the video had no value to the public hence shouldn’t have been released.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Arial; font-size: 17px; line-height: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 1em 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
A medical charity confirmed Friday its specialist Ebola clinic has reopened in rural southern Guinea to treat an infected woman and her child after the virus killed at least two of their relatives.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Arial; font-size: 17px; line-height: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 1em 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Alliance For International Medical Action (ALIMA) said the pair were receiving treatment following positive tests for Ebola on Thursday, adding the patients came from a village 100 kilometres (62 miles) from Guinea’s second city of Nzerekore.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Arial; font-size: 17px; line-height: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 1em 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“We hope that this new episode will be rapidly contained because today the authorities and communities are well versed in the appropriate measures to fight the disease,” said Richard Kojan, a Conakry-based doctor for ALIMA.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Arial; font-size: 17px; line-height: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 1em 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The World Health Organization (WHO) said Friday Guinean health officials had alerted it to Ebola symptoms in the family’s village on March 16, where three people had died in unexplained circumstances in the last few weeks.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Arial; font-size: 17px; line-height: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 1em 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The child being treated was a boy aged five, the WHO said.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Arial; font-size: 17px; line-height: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 1em 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
An expert team was dispatched to conduct tests after the two new diagnoses, and a larger WHO deployment was en route.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Arial; font-size: 17px; line-height: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 1em 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“More specialists are expected to arrive in the coming days. Response teams will work to investigate the origin of the new infections and to identify, isolate, vaccinate and monitor all contacts of the new cases and those who died,” the world health body said in a statement.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Arial; font-size: 17px; line-height: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 1em 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
A source close to the local anti-Ebola coordination team told AFP that the two deceased relatives were a married couple who had both shown symptoms of vomiting and diarrhoea.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Arial; font-size: 17px; line-height: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 1em 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The four confirmed cases are the first in Guinea since the country was declared Ebola free at the end of last year, though a significant number of deaths are believed to have gone unreported.</div>

</div>
She’s one of the best-selling R&B artists of all-time but according to the media, a dark cloud in the form of Beyoncé has been a constant pain in Rihanna’s growing career.<br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: open-sans; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Reports of the pairs supposed feud first began when Rihanna signed onto Roc Nation, a management company owned by successful rap artist, and Beyoncé’s husband, Jay-Z. After her debut album <em style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 20px; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Music of The Sun</em>(2005)and follow-up <em style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 20px; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Girl Like Me</em>(2006) catapulted Rihanna to fame, rumours that Rihanna had come between the power couple began to swirl.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: open-sans; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
With both female artists on the same trail of success and the ongoing working relationship between Jay-Z and Rihanna sparking controversy, it’s unsurprising that the rumour mill has called out a bitter rivalry between the pair. However, in a recent interview withVogue, Rihanna revealed there’s absolutely no truth to the rumours.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: open-sans; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“Here's the deal,” the 28-year-old begins. “[People] just get so excited to feast on something that's negative. Something that's competitive. Something that's, you know, a rivalry. And that's just not what I wake up to.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: open-sans; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Beyoncé, 34, recently added fuel to speculation when her latest single <em style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 20px; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Formation</em> was coincidentally released shortly after Rihanna dropped her latest album <em style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 20px; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Anti</em>.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: open-sans; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
However, the multiple Grammy-award winning artist dismisses any claims that she’s trying to one-up Queen B and insists she is an artist in her own right.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: open-sans; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“I can only do me,” she says. “And, nobody else is going to be able to do that."</div>

Burundi was rated the least happy country in the World, according to the survey, while Benin (153rd place), Afghanistan (154), Togo (155) and Syria (156) occupied the lowest spot.</div>

Jon Clifton, managing partner with the United States based global research company Gallup said: “The report actually identifies that there are six things that contribute.

Clifton also included that corruption in government continues to be a hindrance for Africa’s progress, adding that “we asked people all through Africa: ‘is corruption widespread throughout the government in this country or not?’ We were able to ask that in 34 different countries, and in 30 of those countries 50 per cent or more people said they believe corruption was widespread through the government.”</div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; text-align: justify;">
Efforts by convicted actress and former beauty queen, Ms. Ibinabo Fiberesima, to secure bail at the Court of Appeal, Lagos Division, suffered a setback yesterday due to the incompetence of her application.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; text-align: justify;">
The three-man panel presided over by Justice U.I Ndukwe-Anyanwu observed that the appellant failed to attach copies of the judgment delivered by the court which affirmed the five-year jail sentence imposed on her by a Lagos High Court.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #263238; font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
When the matter came up yesterday, Ibinabo’s lawyer, Nnaemeka Amaechina informed the court of an application dated March 14 stating that he had also served the application on the Lagos state government.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #263238; font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
However, the application could not be heard as the court observed that the appellant failed to attach copies of the judgment of the court, thereby rendering the whole application incompetent.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #263238; font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Justice UI Ndukwe-Anyanwu, said the only option left was to strike out the application or adjourn it till further date for hearing.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #263238; font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Consequently, Amaechina sought an adjournment to enable him do the needful. The court subsequently adjourned the matter till April 7 for further hearing.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #263238; font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Meanwhile, Ibinabo has asked the Supreme Court to set aside the judgment of the lower court. In her notice of appeal, the appellant stated that the Court of Appeal erred in law when it affirmed the alteration by the High Court of Lagos state by setting aside the option of a N100,000 fine and substituting it with a term of 5 years imprisonment.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #263238; font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
The actress was handed a five-year prison sentence by Justice Deborah Oluwayemi for reckless driving, which caused the death of one Dr Giwa Suraj in an auto accident along the Lekki-Epe Expressway in Lagos.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #263238; font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
The appellate court dismissed the actress’ appeal in its judgement delivered on February 11 and affirmed the decision of the Lagos High Court.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
Nigerian Military high command, on Thursday, disclosed that an investigative panel has been set up to investigate the alleged killing of unarmed pro-Biafra protesters in Aba, Abia state.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
The protesters, members of secessionist groups, Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) and the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), were reportedly shot at- while they protested the continued detention of their embattled leader, Nnamdi Kanu.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
The disclosure was made by the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Tukur Buratai during a familiarization tour of 82 Division, Enugu state.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
The COAS also revealed that Boko Haram enclave, Sambisa forest, is the main reason why the army is yet to dislodge the insurgents.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
Buratai stated that: “We are already in Sambisa forest. But Sambisa is as big as Enugu State which needs thorough planning for logistics and other manpower needed.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
“That accounts for the delay. In flushing out the insurgents. The alleged incident of killing of MASSOB, IPOB members by the Army in Aba will be investigated.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
“Since my appointment,we have set out to build a professionally responsible Army in the discharge of its constitutional role which is the result of what we are seeing today. We have taken steps to ensure that education within the Army is paramount to ensure that troops operate within the rules of engagement.”</div>

<div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Whatever problem we may have in Nigeria at this or any other time, this country is sustained by the fact that we are indeed a very special people. We have been described as the happiest people on earth, we have also described ourselves as resilient, gifted and determined, and in one report, Nigerians are said to have the strongest shock absorber against some of the deadliest diseases in the world. If anyone doubted this last point, well, recall that we won the battle over Ebola virus, and polio.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span><a href="" name="more"></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">The more you look at it, the more it seems as if there is something in the Nigerian DNA that defies defeat, that automatically deletes any virus that can result in system shut down, there is that X-factor in our affairs that rises when hope seems lost, and life seems tragic. Somehow, the Nigerian spirit regenerates, recreates and reinvents itself, turns failure into possibilities, pessimism into new expectations, and <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1989456553" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">tomorrow</span></span></span>into an anchor for renewal. </span><br /><div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We are at such a crossroad, right now. But in the midst of the despair, the listlessness, the anxiety, the what-happened-to-us and what-the hell-is-going-on, you can’t miss the fact that the average Nigerian has not lost his bounce. The biggest tragedies that can hobble other nations happen here and we just shrug them off. Boko Haram alone has claimed thousands of lives. <i>Hun hun.</i> Herdsmen have killed men and women in their hundreds. <i>Hun hun.</i>More lives have been lost to vehicle accidents on our poorly made, badly maintained roads. Well, <i>hun hun</i>. Many fingers have been caught in the national cookie jar. Ha. What is this? <i>Who dunnit? </i>But,<i> o ma se o.</i> <i>hun hun.</i> The national leaky bucket has a thousand holes. Ha, no country can live with this? Still,<i> hen hun hun</i>. We voted and there were promises of a new spirit of the age. But that spirit is yet to manifest. So? Nothing good comes easy, therefore. No miracles in the new agenda. <i>So, ni igba yen wa n ko?</i> So, life goes on.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Whatever life throws at the average Nigerian, he protests, he complains, but he accommodates it. It is the reason why nobody will throw stones because power supply is at the worst level in years. It is the reason why workers who have not been paid for months after months will still see the same Governor who is responsible for their misery, after collecting Federal money to help them, and has refused to deliver and they will still scream: “My Excellency, sir.” When workers go on strike, someone calls them together, says something nice, provides something nice and everything falls nicely in place. The late Chief MKO Abiola was quoted saying <i>“eto ni gbogbo e”,</i>that is anything in Nigeria can be arranged nicely. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1989456554" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">June 12</span></span></span> debacle sadly could not be arranged nicely. It cost the Chief of native wisdom and martyr of Nigerian democracy his life, but many lessons have been learnt. And one key lesson is that in this country, the people are determined to live no matter what. They can grumble as they wish about the public space but Nigerians are not ready to give up their will to live, their right to live and their understanding of how to live. And if you put your neck on the line on their behalf, you will be shocked that you will the subject of memes and what’s app jokes. The people laugh at martyrs and heroes because they see no reason why anyone should commit suicide, defending Nigeria, when there is so much life to be enjoyed.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Nigeria is probably the global headquarters of enjoyment. The way the ordinary man has complained in recent times, about political change and the socio-cultural changes it has brought, you would think Nigerians are in serious trouble. But that is not the case. The foreign exchange market has gone into a crazy overdrive impoverishing the whole nation. Parents whose children are schooling abroad are afraid that they may no longer be able to pay fees. The manufacturing sector is abusing the Minister of Finance-what’s-that-her-name-<wbr></wbr>again? and where-did-she-learn-finance-<wbr></wbr>public-policy-and-economics, but I beg, look around, more businesses are actually springing up and all those foreign investors who are supposedly monitoring the Nigerian market are actually clinging to this market. Why do you think MTN wants to remain in Nigeria till death do them part? Why do you think all those foreign countries want President Buhari to visit? The banks have retrenched a lot of staff but the same banks have started recruiting again. In this country, what you see is not what you get. There is problem with foreign exchange but activities at the ports have not ceased. Wait till September, you’d be shocked the number of Nigerian children heading towards Europe, North America and other parts of Africa in pursuit of expensive, forex-backed education.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I beg, leave matter. And if you don’t want to leave it go to the nearest fuel station where many Nigerians are queuing up for fuel with power generating sets and jerry cans. The people are going through the hardship but they are laughing at their leaders. <i>You think you can mess us up, na lie. If you people like, sell fuel for N150, we go survive.</i>They stay in front of that fuel station and they review Nigeria’s history and lament the choices they have made, but their spirit remains strong. That is what makes them Nigerian. Go to the vendors’ stand. The crowd of poor people who cannot afford to buy a newspaper copy, have all the same listened to the news and the only place where they can compete as pundits is that roadside corner, where sometimes one drunken idiot loses control behind the wheels and sheds human blood, wasting those who have gathered not to buy any newspaper but to debate Nigeria. This special crowd knows it all. You don’t want to get involved with them. They will remind you that a Ph.D holder is actually a real idiot, and that nobody needs certificates of any type to be a Nigerian, and well they add too, that if you ever worked in government, then you are a confirmed idiot, and a professional trickster.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Nigerians are so inventive, they find every way of beating bad news, bad experience, or anything that tries to defeat them. Everyone says there is no money in town, they claim things have gone from bad to worse but the parties have not stooped. Go to any of the joints around Lagos, nothing has been spoiled. <i>Isi ewu, nkwobi, asun, sawa, orisirisi,</i> <i>point and kill</i>have all defied the Forex market. Yes, the price of staple commodities has risen, but that has not stopped the people from throwing lavish wedding parties. Nor has it stopped anybody from marrying three times when once is enough: our people do traditional wedding – valid, they go to the registry: valid, they rush to church- valid: rather than marry once, they do it thrice all within a week. Nor has the austerity in town stopped anybody from burying the dead as if the more money is thrown at the grave, the likeliest the possibility of the dead suddenly becoming a Lazarus of the 21<span style="font-size: x-small;"><sup>st</sup>century.<i></i></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Is there poverty in town? You answer that question based on the evidence of your eyes. What I have seen is that Nigerians are still living as if there is too much money in the country. Take a look at the garments Nigerians wear every week. We certainly don’t look like electricity is a problem or that money is in short supply. Soon it will be another <i>Ojude oba</i> among the Ijebus, for example. You go and check them out. As a teacher at Ogun State University in those days, (I served later as member of the Governing Council), we used to go from one party to the other, guzzling free food and quaffing free drinks. Today, those lavish parties have not ceased. Nobody eats like that in Europe or North America. When you go to all the old joints, in Agarawu in Lagos or Tarmac, nothing has changed either. The music still flows, the swag is on. Elsewhere, new buildings are springing up; new cars are being “washed”, additional wives are being acquired. Leave matter, I beg. Nigeria will survive, and these same people who are complaining about change, you’d be shocked, they’d still vote for their stomachs in 2019. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"></span><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">And that is why Nigeria is one country that beats all the textbook theories. We are just something else. There is more in the social arena that defines who we are, than in the theoretical arena. The same people who are complaining that they have not seen change are actually hoping for more. They are not ready to adjust. They are not ready to make sacrifices. If they have an opportunity to be close to government in any way, they will jump at it. The corruption that we talk about is not just in government corridors, it is in society, but the one inside society is so difficult to trap because it is amorphous and inchoate in so many respects. Invariably, the snake feeds on itself:<i>mobius strip.</i></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"></span><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">What we are left with is the image of the people laughing at government and themselves. Have you taken time out to check what happens on social media? Anybody who ever ventured into governance is easy game. The people design caricatures and mock them. Nigeria produces more memes and graphics than any other country in Africa not necessarily because of the events that happen here but because of the people’s consciousness, and if I may add, private greed. In that other world, political change is ridiculed, poverty is deplored, GEJ is becoming a saint and PMB a villain, but the people are still having fun, and blaming Nigeria and the politicians.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I tell you, the problem with Nigeria is not the politicians but the people themselves. We are very special people, but we don’t really know what we want, and because we are like that, we confuse the politicians and the nation. But for as long as we can wear those impressive attires and throw those parties and dance to old music and pay our private bills, we see no reason to care enough. Pity is: no country can ever move ahead if the people do not care enough. For us, life goes on, no matter what.</span></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
Nollywood actress, Uche Jombo, has criticised the Nigerian Senate over the rejection of the Gender Equality Bill.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
The Bill had on Tuesday, failed to scale through second reading during plenary session at the upper chamber of the National Assembly.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
The actress, who found it unfathomable that the Senators could reject the bill, stated that ‘women empowerment’ shouldn’t be a threat to senators.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
Writing on her Instagram page, Uche Jombo said: “Read through the Gender Equality bill (2011/2016) These are basic rights! Equal opportunities for men and women. Let’s get this off the way ‘Women Empowerment is not a threat senators’ anything done to assist the Nigerian woman is done to assist Nigeria simple. How can you reject Gender equality bill?”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
“Every Senator that voted against the bill should hide in shame and the annoying part is the excuses they are giving as to why the bill is thrown out this second time.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
“There are only 8 women in the 109member Nigeria senate …… It’s amazing what women can do when we come together. Our voices MUST be heard. Download the bill online read and education yourself then speak out.”</div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Odo, also known variously as Onuwa, King Solomon of Africa or King of Satan was married to 68 women but some of them had earlier died.

“I was born in 1947 on the day they had an eclipse of the sun and the moon. There was darkness in the afternoon on the day I was born. I was the only son of my parents. “I was baptised as a Christian in the Catholic Church and I even became a mass servant under Rev Father Desmond McGlade. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
I however became a herbalist because of circumstances beyond my control. As I said, I was the only son of my parents but because some of his relations wanted to take over his landed property, they poisoned me. I contracted tuberculosis and had to be treated for years. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
At a point, I was even unable to walk for about five years because I became lame. I ran to Ondo State in the South West, where I trained to become a herbalist at the age of 15, before returning to the village. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
I married 15 wives when my father was alive and the situation prolonged his life. He died in 1992 at the ripe old age of over 90 years. My first son has seven children and four grandchildren. Any of my children who chooses to become a Christian is free to do so, provided he/she must become a Catholic. I don’t like the Pentecostal churches.”</blockquote>

“People think that I feed many of them but this is not true. Most of my children are grown up. The boys among them usually marry and go to their own houses just like the girls who marry and follow their husbands to their places. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
However, my wives cook food for the whole family in turns. For example, if it is the turn of Ada or Omada to cook, she would invite five of her colleagues to assist her in cooking. One woman cooks for everybody in the house at a time but my other wives would always assist such a person.”</blockquote>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Asked if any of his sons has taken after him as a herbalist, he said,</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
“I will not encourage them to do so. I don’t want my sons to take after me because some of them will do bad things with my medicine. As a herbalist, I have never killed anybody or thought of evil against anybody but I do not trust that my children would be upright like me. That is why I will not encourage them to inherit my medicine but I may bequeath them to some of my younger children, not the old, greedy ones.”</blockquote>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Meanwhile, it was learnt that although Onuwa abhorred seeing his children attend churches other than the Catholic church, seven of them were ordained pastors at the Lord’s Chosen Church. Hitherto, some of them attended Catholic and Anglican churches while many of them took after their father in his business.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">However, the ordination of the pastors brought about a radical Christian awakening in the extra-large family of Chief Odo. In the past four years, there had been a simmering misunderstanding between the pastors and their father regarding his herbal practice.

“Yes, he was forcefully making love to me any time he wanted. They first took me to Sarkin Baki house, and kept me there for seven months before my parents came looking for me. They gave me something to drink, but I refused to take the drink, and they took me to one room and locked me inside the room. They forcefully made me to turn to Muslim and gave me another name, Aisha. Some people wanted to marry me, but the Sarkin Baki refused and said until I finish Islamic school before they marry me off”</blockquote>
