Super Eagles player, Ahmed Musa, divorces wife, Jamila, set to marry his new queen, Juliet

Leicester City and Super Eagles star Ahmed Musa has divorced his wife and mother of his two children, Jamila, according to SCORENigeria. This followed a much publicised disagreement between husband and wife at their home in England this month.

A top source told only SCORENigeria: “Ahmed Musa has divorced his wife. “He gave her Saki Uku (which in Hausa literally means a final divorce). “She is already back home in Kano trying to get her life together again.”

It was gathered that Ahmed Musa has already done a wedding introduction with Ejue Juliet Adeh, the new lady he has fallen madly in love with. Last month, he quit the Super Eagles training camp in London to formally get the ball rolling for his second marriage.

Juliet is based in Lagos and she is from Calabar. It is also reported that the football star had paid off his former wife by giving her one of his houses in Kano as well as a recent model Honda car. It was reported that both Musa and Jamila lived on the same street in Kano before they started courting.

Nollywood actress Toyin Abraham, in an Instagram post on Friday shared how she and her brother rose from poverty to become where they are today.
She wrote:

Growing up, I didn’t have it smooth, life was difficult and painful. I wasn’t born with a silver spoon. I came from a poor background and it was never easy. I remember my brother had a dance group back then, we would dance together in front of people just for money. It was one of our many means of livelihood.
I would cry all the time because life felt like it was out to deal with me. It never occurred to me that my tears, my pains, all that life had thrown at me would be my gain today. The suffering I went through back then is my praise today, the tough and difficult life is my joy today, the pain back then is my motivation today.
Right now, my brother has one of the biggest dance groups (EXPLICIT) in Nigeria. Today I look at myself and I realize that I was a diamond in the rough who against all odds stand before you with a thankful heart.
To all my fans and everybody out there, whatever you are going through currently, do not accept it as the end, don’t give up, remain positive through it all. It will never remain the same forever. Life will always be life but your pain will change your story like it did mine. Stay focused and positive.

Media entrepreneur Mo Abudu has released a statement on the allegations that she lives in an apartment in the building where the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) recovered huge sums of Dollars, Pounds and Naira currencies.
The identity of the owner of the said apartment of monies is not yet known, however allegations have been circulating the media that the apartment (7B) in No. 16, Osborne Road, Ikoyi, Lagos belongs to Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, and that the former Rivers governor gave another apartment (7B) to Mo.
Sahara Reporters also reports that Amaechi also debunked the report in an interview, saying he has no connection whatsoever to the property, adding that “his only property in Nigeria (is) in Abuja”.
This is prior to allegations that the apartment belongs to one of People’s Democratic Party’s (PDP) Chieftain, Anthony Anenih‘s daughter.
It was also alleged that the apartment belonged to Esther Nnamdi-Ogbue a former Managing Director at the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) who was sacked over “missing” 130m litres of petrol.
Nnamdi-Ogbue has also debunked the reports.
Former PDP National Chairman, Adamu Muazu, who was said to be the owner of the building has also refuted the reports saying that he built the property with a loan he secured from a bank and sold the individual apartments through an Estate agent.
The statement signed by her lawyers, Streamsowers & Kohn read: While the money has been temporarily forfeited to the federal government following a court order, unconfirmed reports say that the Nigerian Intelligence Agency (NIA) has claimed ownership of the money, saying it was for a covert operation.

Debie-Rise has explained her controversial kiss with Bassey while he was asleep. Recall, Kemen was disqualifed from the show after he was found guilty of sexually molesting TBoss while she slept.

Following this disqualification, a video of Debie-Rise kissing Bassey while he also slept surfaced online, with many Nigerians calling for the disqualification of the housemate.
The video kicked off a conversation with some viewers demanding to know why the housemate didn’t also get disqualified.

In an interview with Pulse Nigeria, Debie-Rise spoke about the controversial night and the supposed kiss.

“That night, we actually had a quarrel. I can’t even remember what it was about,” Debie-Rise said.
“I don’t actually know how to hold an argument, even when I had something with TBoss and Bisola, I would go and meet them and say, ‘I’m sorry, let’s just trash this thing.’
“I can’t even live with someone and then there’s this grudge that I’m keeping. I don’t know how to do that. I just can’t.”
“So, after the quarrel, he just went to sleep. So, that was me trying to clear – and he wasn’t actually asleep.
Bassey doesn’t sleep on time. And it was a peck.”

Debie-Rise and Bassey had an interesting friendship during their stay in the Big Brother Naija house.

Efe is now in charge of his Instagram account, and he says he’d follow as much fans as possible from now on..

In a recent update on his Instagram page, the Big Brother Naija winner took an adorable shot of himself and Bisola’s gorgeous daughter, Leyla.
See the picture below:

A man has died while reportedly undergoing deliverance at Hope Deliverance Ministry, Ukwanga Street, Oselu quarters, Edo State.

In a video gone viral on the internet, residents are seen trooping in to catch a glimpse of the dead body.
A member of the church who claimed to have witnessed the deliverance section said that the victim was proving stubborn leading to the pastor pushing him hard to make sure he fell to the ground.

The victim, who was said to be possessed by evil spirit and needed deliverance, reportedly fell, hit his head on a generator set and died.
The body of the victim was later placed in a car inside the church premises.
Sister to the deceased, Osas, claimed that her brother was beaten to death.

She said, “They beat him to death. They removed the cloth that he was putting on before, cleaned him up and wore him another cloth. They said they were taking him to the mortuary and we said no.”
However, pastor of the church, Mrs. Ogundaye Isoke said, “We have been taken care of him (the deceased) without money.
“We save soul. We don’t destroy soul. We don’t kill here; we don’t beat here. If they bring insane people we heal.”

Big Brother Naija reality show winner, Efe Ejeba has revealed his greatest regret back in the house.
The 24-year-old rapper and new Payporte Brand Ambassador, who has been on media tour alongside other housemates, said his only regret in the show was drinking alcohol.

During the show, the Warri-born housemate was in some occasions seen drinking himself to stupor.

“The only regret I have is drinking. I heard my mum is upset with me. So, I apologise to her for drinking so much in the BBNaija house.
“I am so grateful to a lot of people including Governor Okowa of Delta State. I heard he threw his weight behind me. I was also told that comedian, I Go Dye dropped N1 million for my campaign team.
“When I called him, he ended my call and called me back. We spoke for hours.

“I am also grateful to Ali Baba, Akpororo and so many Nigerian celebrities whom I had never met but stood behind me.
“I hear my family house in Warri can now be likened to a tourist centre because of the number of people who have thronged our home to congratulate my parents.”

A shocking report which has gone viral on social media, has revealed that a woman who gave birth to her first baby last December, after waiting for 18 years, has died.

Facebook user, Bulama Bukar, revealed that the woman died yesterday, less than 5 months after giving birth to a baby girl. He also disclosed that her burial ceremony has been scheduled to take place by 8a.m today.

Good Friday: Lady and her Boyfriend engage in Early Morning street fight in Abuja (Photos)

Today is Good Friday, and according to the Bible, Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus Christ on this day, 2000 years ago. Twitter Naija in their usual way have made hilarious memes and tweets to mark the day.

The police in Gwarinpa have arrested two lovers for allegedly giving a liquid substance suspected to be rat poison to their six months old baby in Gwarinpa.

Police sources said the incident happened on Tuesday at about midnight off 69 Road in the area.

A source said the man identified only as Abdullahi, 23 and his lover, identified as Hasiya, 17, might have conspired to kill the baby girl because she was delivered out of wedlock.

City News learnt that Hasiya had invited Abdullahi to come check on the sick baby on Tuesday.

“Abdullahi gave her money to buy drugs from a nearby pharmacy and administered it on her. After taking the tablet, the baby started vomiting some foamy substance,” the source said.

The source said a resident alerted the police after the incident led to chaos in the area.

The Gwarinpa Divisional Police Officer, CSP Nuruddeen Sabo said the suspects were not staying together and he described them as boyfriend and girlfriend.

He said preliminary investigation showed that the lovers conspired and administered a liquid substance suspected to be ota pia pia, rat poison, on their six months old baby whom they got out of wedlock.

He said the smell of the poison was perceived on the baby.

“The baby died and was taken to hospital for possible autopsy while the suspects are in police custody,” he said, adding that investigation was still on.

A prophet based around IGBO ELERIN IFO L.G OGUN STATErecently denounced his religion to become a Muslim. He further shaved off his hair and that of his household. See photos below;

Today's movie for review is Eniola Badmus' 'Basirat in London'!

Synopsis: Basira in London is a comedy about an African woman who travels to London on holiday. Upon meeting with her friends, she decides she wants to stay and gain employment. However, she is shocked at the type of job they find for her. (Written by Phabs Production)

Starring: Eniola Badmus, Timothy Byrne, Theodora Ibekwe Oyebade, Tolu Yesufu, Destinee Anthony.

Warning!! Basira is Jenifa's counterfeit sister. While Jenifa is genuinely funny, Basira is a putrid mess; a painting in ridiculousness. This movie is a terrible embarrassment to all the progress made by Nollywood in half a decade; like a femme fatale, Basira will bring you only regret and anguish as she slams you into wall after wall of austere jokes. One after the other, the next, ever more drier than the last- a litany of washed up comedy is all it has to offer. Distressful! By all means, avoid this for your own good.

'Basira in London' is everything a cinema offering ought not to be. And so, as we all sat there watching, seemingly united in sorrow, occasionally one would hear a little hum here, a wimp there and a gaggle there, but not one true bout of hearty laughter was this supposed comedy able to scrounge out of its audience. It was torture!

In the end, as the credits rolled, the room emptied in eerie silence, like we were exiting a funeral parlor, leaving a loved one behind, literally. Only the tears were missing.

Desperately not recommended. Dodge it!

We wouldn't bother if we were you, but if you want to, you may see the trailer below:

Review by Cinema Movie Pointer

Yesterday, a new video of Wizkid’s interview with UK’s Channel 4 came online and it was so freaking obvious the singer “used” a British/American accent.

In the interview, Wizzy talked about his sound, music videos and the components he brings into every production to make his music stand out. He also talked about his intent on changing the global perception of Nigerian music.

“There is so much beautiful things in Africa – Africa is so beautiful, and that’s what I’m trying to do with my music now,” said the highly successful singer, adding that he includes his cultural heritage in his videos, including “African princes.”
“I’m making sure I have my stuff tailored. I’m always strategic with it so that the world can see it in a great light,” Wizkid adds.

One thing to note is that the singer used an accent and Nigerians are wondering where the accent came from.
Watch the video below, and some reactions that follows.

Lady's marriage list in Rivers State causes outrage on social media

These days it's not all about finding the right woman for marriage; one has to make adequate financial preparations for her bride price especially if she is from the South-south and South-eastern part of Nigeria.

File Photo: Nollywood actor, Blossom Chukwujekwu's traditional wedding

A resident of Port Harcourt, Rivers State has published on Facebook a list of dowry demands of a native of the Niger-Delta State.

The young man, Vicky Thompson Owhorji made a case against the family of the unnamed lady from the Ubima community in Ikwerre Local Government Area of the oil-rich state.

Part of the very long list which has been described as a traditional rite included 'one big family foam with 4 pillows' and several other items needed to float a massive provision store for petty trading.

The lady hails from the hometown of a former governor of Rivers State and Minister of Transport, Hon. Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi.

Some Nigerians are of the view that the traditional rites of marriage should be cancelled as it has failed to cope with the current economic realities of Nigeria.
