HOTELIER AND POLITICIAN, PRINCE BURUCHI KASHAMU ROBBED OF $62,000 ON ARIK FLIGHT

2013-05-10T16:05:00.000+01:00

In the words of Prince Buruchi Kashamu

"I have never heard of this type of daylight robbery and didn't think I would be the first but the next time it happens to me, Arik Air should be ready for me.

I had $62,000 ( sixty two thousand dollars) in my briefcase and saw the money just before I went through screening. I noticed in the car on my way to the hotel that the money has mysteriously left my suitcase.

Arik air either has a ring of thieves doing this operation in collaboration with the operators of the screening machine or has a spirit that steals from its overhead compartment."

DISGRACE- NIGERIAN POLICEMEN FIGHTING

2011-04-25T16:02:00.001+01:00

This happened sometime last year. I posted this for Nigerians to see how bad the Force has become .It is kind of funny and pretty embarrassing, but the story in Ajegunle, along Lagos-Abeokuta Express is hilarious and sad at the same time. 3 police men engaged in a brawl over reason unexplained at the time.

People were seen scampering for safety, and nobody could tell what caused the fight, which got so messy that the policemen wrestled and dragged themselves on the ground.

The three fighters are corporals serving in the elite Mobile Police Force.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so we have a few thousand words for you guys. Check out the pictures:

2011-04-25T15:18:00.000+01:00

Controversial Soundcity vee-jay, Denrele Edun, has confirmed his resignation from the popular urban music channel, Soundcity.
The popular presenter, who is famous for his peculiar lifestyle as well as for impressively conducting many red carpet interviews for the music channel, revealed that he voluntarily left his job of six years to pursue some other personal dreams.
“I resigned two weeks ago,” said Denrele, who has now attained a celebrity status, in a telephone conversation with X2. “I believe it was time I move on to a greener pasture and do other things for myself.”
Denrele, who is currently on the location of a yet-to-be titled new traditional epic movie with Funke Akindele and Yinka Quadri in Oyo State, also quickly dispelled rumours that his exit from his old job is fuelled by a fallout with his boss concerning his infamous picture with Charly Boy.

Polygamy church: Leader preaches, practises, enforces multiple marriage

2011-04-23T10:05:00.001+01:00

EZEOBI
There is controversy in town. It is in the church and it has been causing ripples among families, especially the women.
The issue of contention is the teaching of a pastor, Harrison Charles of the Day Spring Assembly that polygamy is holy, pure and biblical.

Expectedly, the female members of the church are up in arms as they won’t contemplate sharing their husbands with other women in marriage.

The charged nature of their reactions and the insistence of the preacher with copious bible quotatations have resulted in jolts and turbulence in homes. Some homes are in Disarray as the wives pack out in protest and the husbands with the support of their pastor press their claims that such men in the church must marry other wives.

We listened to the protest of the wives over this doctrine and also sounded out the preacher on his ‘unpopular’ message He insists God directed him to so preach.

…Our husband are gone, and they want the kids too

Jim Iyke Slip of Tongue at AMAA Awards Nite 2011

2011-04-13T17:23:00.000+01:00

This story is about Nollywood Star Jim Iyke presentation at the AMAA Award Nite of 2011. Before any show organizers would call Nollywood actor Jim Iyke to present in any awards event in the future, they will definitely think twice or better still make sure it’s not going to be on a live telecast.
The actor suffered a “diarrhea of the mouth” attack during his slot to present an award at the event and was just drooling out homophobic and sexist remarks.
The actor started off with his comment about gays and their “weird” ways. “There is something wrong. It’s just wrong.” It was Co-presenter, Ikpe-Etim who cut him short saying, “Okay, that’s enough. I must apologize for my colleague. There is nothing wrong with being happy.”
The Co-presenter did not know what he had in stock for her until he told her to “shut up.” And capping it with an onstage banter, asking her to come to his room later and she asked what for, he replied, “You’re a Calabar girl, you should know, now!”
As if that is not enough, he switched from being a presenter to Women Rights activist, defending Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde’s weight gain talks accusing women of “popping pills” to stay slim.
