Stella Damasus Stuns In New Pictures

Bayelsa State publicity secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Mr. Osom Makbere, has said President Goodluck Jonathan lost the March 28 presidential election due to international and domestic conspiracies..In an interview with Punch, the lawyer said:

"History has stated that no failure, defeat or loss is a product of a single factor. Jonathan's loss could be blamed on a multiplicity of interwoven causes.

"Jonathan was a victim and target of international cum domestic esoteric codes and conspiracies. On the international level, the passage of the anti-gay legislation led to criticisms and face-off with the US, and the West.

"The strides made in the economic sphere, especially domestic rice promotion, calculated by the Jonathan administration to flip economic growth, and boost import substitution, also negatively alerted the West. The shift to China for our railway transformation, and recently, the migration to Russia for arms and ammunition to quelling the insurgency also signalled to the West that Jonathan had started constituting a self-reliant and dependent nation-state, a feat seen too tall by the US and their allies in the West.

"The aforesaid international factors found room to flourish given the obstinacy and impudence on the part of Mrs. Jonathan. The end result of her personal ambition to plant 'self-made' governors triggered face-offs with some governors."

On APC , he said

"I can tell you that this APC will be worse than the PDP as there is already imminent fear of implosion. "In Kano, for instance, the APC got all 40 constituencies. This meant that none of the PDP candidates were popular enough to emerge but, the PDP maintained their calm and stoicism.

"We do not know what the APC wants. Whenever they win, the PDP congratulates them, but whenever the PDP wins, the APC would induce the election observers and the electoral officers to call for a re-run or cancellation. That is the zenith of desperation".

In response to Blac Chyna I guess. This photo surfaced yesterday of Tyga flaunting fresh ink - his 17 year old girlfriend's name is now on his inner right elbow. According TMZ, sources close to the rapper told them that Tyga got the tattoo done two days ago to prove to Kylie he is fully committed to her and no one else. Looks like he got the tattoo just a day after his ex, Blac Chyna put him on blast by posting text messages where he was begging for another chance.

In 2011, former footballer John Fashanu married Abigail Igwe, Adaeze's mother fast forward to 2015 and John, 52, claims Abigail tried to kill him after she found him having a threesome, UK Mirror reports

Soccer legend John Fashanu has accused his wife of trying to kill him - after she allegedly found him bedding two women at the same time. The retired former Wimbledon and England striker said estranged Abigail Onyekwelu went for him with a knife during a furious row at their home.

Fashanu, also a former Gladiators host, is now at the centre of a bitter divorce battle with Abigail - and insists she cheated on him with a woman. She denies his claims and the astonishing battle - which includes the accusation that he bedded their maid - is to be played out in the high court in Abuja, Nigeria.

Furious Abigail, 48, said last night: "Good riddance to bad rubbish! I've left him and washed my hands." But Fashanu, 52 - dubbed Fash the Bash for his hardman reputation in Wimbledon's famous "Crazy Gang" - hit back with an extraordinary series of allegations. He said he had to call in police to protect him from knife-wielding Abigail and was devastated to find her in bed with another woman.

He also alleged that she stole thousands of pounds in cash from their marital home. Speaking exclusively to the Sunday People the star - who now presents the Nigerian version of TV's Deal or No Deal - said: "She attempted to use knives on me. It was terrifying. "My life was at stake, there's no two ways about that. "Even if you did think I was sleeping with the maid, or even if you thought I was sleeping with Miss Nigeria, don't kill me! Just leave me and go. The violence was just too much."

6ft 2in Fashanu added: "My life was at risk and I didn't want it to happen again. That's why I filed for divorce." He denied his wife's claim to have discovered him in bed with two other women - one of them their maid. "I've been very fortunate to date some of the most beautiful women in the world," Fash insisted. "I certainly don't have to sleep with my cleaner! "This is me, John Fashanu, you're talking to. It's absolute nonsense. If she wants to make up that story, at least let her say it's Beyoncé or someone. "Don't say it's my cleaner, that's just b******s. It's not true at all. "The truth is she's been cheating on me with a woman she calls her spiritual partner. "I caught them in the bed many times. That was why I kicked her out of my house."

Abigail is the mother of former beauty queen Adaeze Yobo. Fashanu met her in 2009. They married two years later but the relationship hit the skids last year. Father-of-five Fashanu claimed police are now investigating an attack on him. He also alleged that officers are trying to retrieve missing cash from Abigail.

He said: "I'm the one who is filing for divorce. I couldn't stand her and, to be honest, she probably couldn't stand me. With Abigail it was just money, money, money. "I've never seen a woman who has such an appetite for money. Nearly one million Nigerian naira (around £3,300) was stolen from my house in Abuja. There are police reports you can see. "There were so many assaults, it was just getting too much. It was absolutely ridiculous. She attacked me on multiple occasions. The whole situation was far too hot for me. There are some wonderful, wonderful women. It's just that I met the wrong one."

Glamorous socialite Abigail, a qualified lawyer and mother-in-law to former Nigerian football captain Joseph Yobo, paints a totally different picture of the marriage breakdown.

The mother of four said: "John's saying I tried to kill him? Oh my God, this is so funny. I don't quite understand all this. "How can I kill him? How can somebody like me kill this huge man who is an expert in karate. I don't understand how I can kill him." Told that he had accused her of going to his house armed with knives before trying to attack him, Abigail retorted: "Oh my God, that is ridiculous." She also rejected Fashanu's claim that he threw her out of his house
after finding her in bed with another woman.

Abigail said: "He didn't kick me out of his house. We were living in my house. He couldn't have kicked me out of my own house - I kicked him out."

Of the woman concerned, she insisted: "She is a good friend to me. She has a husband and children. It is ridiculous. She was living with me for a while to get back on her feet." Abigail went on: "I caught him in bed with two women, the housemaid and one other woman. There were two women, it was awful. "They were on the bed. They were undressed. I said to them, 'Who are you and what's going on here?' "He told me that he doesn't know what he's doing and I should pray for him. He knows how to manipulate people, that's one thing he is good at. "I last saw him in April last year. I didn't know he'd filed for divorce. He has been calling people asking them to plead with me to get back with him.

"I would have filed for divorce myself but I haven't because I've been very busy. And he asked me not to because he did not want to make it known that we had separated. "So I went on my way and I left him but I didn't tell anybody anything. "I've told him, 'I don't want you any more, I have forgiven you, I'm a Christian. But I don't want you any more, just leave me alone.'

I don't take him seriously. I don't have time for him. If I should be angry at anyone, I should be angry at myself for descending so low as to enter into marriage with such a person." Responding to claims she stole money from Fashanu, Abigail added: "Anybody can say anything - but how can I go to his house and steal from him in his house?

"I wasn't living there with him. He's sick and he needs help."

Wife Abigail claims he has fathered six children by three different women. Meanwhile he added: "I filed the divorce petition in September and it's listed for mention on the 19th of next month at the court in Abuja. We're trying to move it through."

After burning luxury shopper Pearl's bags yesterday, Tonto took herself shopping and showed off the picture on her IG page.

Nigerian John Legend singer and renowned horse rider 9ice - says he has no problems with criticism from fans who slammed him for losing his voice. Speaking in a recent TV interview, the faded music star blamed his loss of voice on the absence of "good music equipment" in Nigeria.

He said: Get it right; in 2008, 2009 and 2010, imagine someone screaming for three years, how e no go lose him voice? Most of our productions are not good and most of our speakers are not good. Hear me, I am not saying the DJs or the sound managers are not good. But the equipment we have (in Nigeria) are not good.

So imagine me (singing) on top of my voice for three years. How I no go lose my voice? In 2008, I was maybe 28 or 29 and now I am 35 years old. So I would definitely lose my voice and now I am a more mature person. So criticism based on those aspects, I am sure they are right. But you have to take me as I am. 9ice also talked about why he chose to venture into politics.

The Ondo Government has banned the production and consumption of locally-made gin, commonly called 'ogogoro' in the state. The state Commissioner for Health, Dr Dayo Akinyanju, announced this at a news conference in Akure on Saturday. The commissioner attributed the ban to the outbreak of an unknown disease two weeks ago in Irele Local Government Area of the state.

"Our clinical analysis reveals the fact that there were no known viruses, while toxicology reports have confirmed our prime suspicion of methanol poisoning. We have reviewed our strategies and embarked on sensitisation to let people know that locally-made gin is prohibited. We will also embark on searches because this batch of methanol-containing gin must have gone round because 4 cases: 2 alive and 2 dead have been found in Odigbo Local Government Area," he said.

Akinyanju said that stakeholders such as religious leaders, transporters, youths, market women, and the relevant association would be informed of the development.

"We will start with the entire South Senatorial District, then move to the Central Senatorial District.
According to the commissioner, the unknown disease has so far claimed 23 lives with ten other people receiving treatment.
"Two of them have regained their sights and are back home. We appeal to the general public to desist from drinking the gin until we are able to identify the source of contamination or find out how the methanol got into the drinks," he said.

The commissioner said that the state government was working closely with the National Agency for Food, Drug Administration and Control and the National Orientation Agency to sensitise members of the public to the dangers of consuming such drinks.
