Drake and Rihanna recently hooked up in Paris
according to a report by TMZ. The on/off couple
dined at L'Avenue in Paris on Sunday night but
left separately to avoid being photographed
together. To more interesting things, Rihanna
looks great!
Recently naked photos of the 80year old Head
Prophet of the Cherubim and Seraphim, Idimu
District in Alimosho Lagos State, Prophet Timothy
Adewoye, went viral alleging that he had sex with
a married woman who worshiped in his church.
(I'm sure some of you saw the report)
Well, the national body of the Church, the Holy
Order of Cherubim & Seraphim Movement Church,
has spoken out about the case, saying it was all
an act of blackmail.
According to one of the leaders in the church,
Senior Apostle Abimbola Esuola, the clergyman
had gone to the house of the said married woman
to pray for her but was setup in the process. She
said that 4 men came into the house where he
was praying for her and ordered him to take off
his clothes after which pictures of him naked
were taken. They then decided to use the pictures
to extort money from the Prophet. Continue...
They first demanded for N10million but was able
to get N2million from him after much persuasion.
They still continued asking him for money and at
a time threatened to kill him if he didn't provide
the money being asked for.
Worried about the developments, the Clergyman
spoke to his Secretary about his predicament,
who in company of other members of the church
proceeded to lay a complain at the Idimu Police
station.
The police then did their investigations and
apprehended one Sherifat Baalogun who already
had a case of extortion with them and Makanjuola
Olagunja. Sherifat's husband who was also found
to be an accomplice in the incident, is said to be
on the run.
Sherifat and Makanjuola are currently being
remanded in police custody after an Ejigbo
Magistrate, Mrs M.B Folami, heard their case and
ordered for them to be remanded until others
involved in the case are produced.
Maheeda, whose real name is Caroline Sam, says
her going naked as a born again christian would
never make God love her less. She says His
Grace is sufficient for her. Currently promoting
her music, Maheeda in an interview with
Encomium said she doesn't have any problems
exposing herself
"I dont have a problem doing what I do but
I think its because of my job and I know
most Christians would not understand. But I
just believe that this is what I have to do to
get attention especially when it comes to my
job and I just believe His grace is enough
for me. He loves me more than my
nakedness. If you see God as a father and
he sees you as a daughter, He would not
because of your nakedness want to ruin you
or kill you. That is how I see God. He
understands me. He hates me but he loves
me at the same time".
Asked what happened to her once-upon-a-time
gospel artiste status, the raunchy artiste replied
"I think what happened was just spiritual
maturity. At a stage in your life, you have to
take a break and grow up or else everything
would just be wrong. I needed to grow
spiritually. Christians call it Born-again. I
am standing in the gap for Christians and
Muslims".
Maheeda said she has always loved music but
was thirsty for stardom since childhood. She said
she hasn't been reaping the fruits from her
musical album but has been getting contracts for
guest appearances. She claims she was recently
abroad to attend the birthday party of a bigshot
and was paid 3000 dollars just for coming and
not singing.

Aisha Falode died in a car accident but that's not
how he died. According to a close family friend I
spoke with, Toba, a student of SAE Institute in
Dubai, was pushed from a 17-storey building by
an Arab guy last week. Heard he held on to the
railings for a few minutes after he was pushed,
but eventually fell. The Dubai police have yet to
arrest anyone for his murder. More details later.

It's been revealed that Oscar Pistorius was
watching pornography on his mobile phone the
night he shot and killed his girlfriend, Reeva
Steenkamp. Local media reports that based on
the court papers that leaked from the
investigation, data from his phone showed that
the murder suspect visited the porn sites on his
phone while Reeva was at his home. Prosecutors
wonder why a man who claims 'he was spending
quality time with his girlfriend on Valentine's Day'
would be on several porn sites while she's with
him. This action they say is in direct contrast of
his claim. The phone was recovered after his
arrest. (Oscar still has fans. Pictured above with
some of them recently in Johannesburg)

In 2012, she was admitted to a Sydney hospital
after a suicide attempt following an ongoing
tirade of abuse on Twitter.
She later made fighting bullying her personal
mission, waging an anti-bullying media campaign
on television and radio and in newspapers and
magazines as well as her beloved Twitter.
Her efforts and high public profile on the issue
were recognised by the National Rugby League, a
major Australian football association, which last
year made her an anti-bullying ambassador.
Dawson revealed in her 2012 autobiography 'Air
Kiss & Tell' that she was frequently visited by the
'depression bogeyman'.
She had long graced the pages of women's
gossip magazines and scenes in reality TV
shows. Her modeling career had taken her to
Italy, Britain and Germany during the 1980s.
New Zealand Prime Minister John Key tweeted he
was 'shocked and saddened' by the news of her
death.
The Sun-Herald newspaper in Sydney reported
Sunday that her body was found only minutes
before her luxury waterside apartment was due to
be sold at auction.

ChannelsTV reports that members of the Kano
emirate called Dabo Family Women Association
gathered today to celebrate the suspension of the
CBN governor, Sanusi Lamido.
Addressing a news conference at the Emir’s

Binta Sanusi, said that the suspension was
“an honour done to their son who served
his country truthfully and was later rewarded
with mischievous allegations”.
The women, comprising mothers, sisters
and in-laws of the suspended apex bank
governor, seemed happy even when some
Nigerians have condemned the suspension.
They said there was no course for alarm, as
Sanusi had proved to be trust worthy,
having transformed the Nigerian economy in

In a recent interview with Hello Beautiful, 47 year
old actress and mother of two Garcelle Beauvais
said she's shocked at how women in
entertainment show too much skin these days
and says Beyonce can still be sexy without going
overboard.
"For me, there's so many ways to be sexy
without being overt about it. As I get older, I
still want to be sexy, but I want to do it in a
different way. I want to do it in a way that’s
more classy.
Certain things are just too overt for kids. I
love Beyonce. I love her. I think she’s
beautiful and talented. But, I think there has
to be a fine line where you have to take
responsibility for what you do. I think it’s
good to be sexy, but sexy can come across
in so many different ways. It doesn’t have to
be everything showing, out grinding all of
the time."

A part 2 of Charly Boy's first article on See Finish
Syndrome. Find it here. Check on it below..
When I published my piece about the death
of desire in marriage/relationships (“See
Finish Syndrome”) I didn't expect the kind of
feedback I got on that matter, hummm see
gobe!
It was clear to me that the marriage
institution in Nigeria is in a big problem.
Ninety percent of the overwhelming phone
calls and emails were from angry, lonely,
disgruntled and confused wives. It was then
it hit me that millions of homes and
marriage relationships are going through a
very bad patch, wives are growing very
disenchanted with their husbands and their
relationship. Before I did the piece (see
finish) apart from experiencing it personally,
I have heard and seen so much sadness in
too many homes that made me swear and
ever determined not to allow my marriage
be caught by the "See Finish" bug.
From the mails and the phone calls I received, it
was clear to me that many wives whilst still in
their relationship, DON PORT. They have
emotionally moved on engaging in hot sizzling
extra-marital affair. The number is alarming, their
reasons are as enlightening as it is revealing and
I must add, I learnt quite a lot from all the sad
stories I heard and read. Thank God for the
opportunity, I will always share with my readers
some of my personal experiences, trusting that in
coming clean I will also learn from the mistake of
others. Long story short, it is for me therapeutic.
Many wives these days " DON PORT", alarming
unconfirmed statistic show a large number who
have grown disinterested in their marital sex,
while husbands are busy reassuring themselves
that their wives are still "The Good Girl" they
married. Hummm mmm. For many who wrote in
and I spoke to, swore that they never thought
they were the "Type" that would ever cheat, but
now they are far too deep into it and never want
to stop. I begin to see a pattern in all of this
confusion, if we don’t develop an accurate
understanding of our wives; very soon, marriages
will become old fashion because so many people
are becoming disillusioned with the whole
institution. In all of this, so many men are stuck
with their societal beliefs about females that are
grossly distorted and completely erroneous.
Wahala dey my people.
The following is a letter from one of my numerous
readers, since she doesn't mind me sharing it
with you, I don't mind either…
Hello AreaFada,
I am writing this because there is a serious issue
I'm struggling with, I desperately need to share it
with someone. I felt I could open up to you and
not be judged having followed you for long. I
don’t mind if you use this mail on your several
platforms, i believe i speak for many too.
I got married in the 90's to perhaps the most
wonderful man on earth and together, we have
one of the best families anyone would wish to
have. My husband and I are doing very well on
our jobs and our kids are excellent both at home
and at school.
We have no reason to suspect each other or
anyone, there is nothing like lack of trust in this
relationship. We live in each other's body and so,
privy to what the other is doing per time and we
are very supportive of each other, at the same
time, being each other's worst critic because we
always are on the look-out for areas to improve.
We're absolutely loyal and faithful to each other,
nothing less than a 100%.
This is a summary of the home I had until 3years
ago.
I met a man in the course of my job who came
along with a new information and completely
opened my eyes to a new feeling.
Ours wasn't a chance meeting, we worked
together on a project so we exchanged phone
numbers and since then he has always called.
That was the beginning o, he would not let me
rest, calling and texting nice stuff almost by the
minute. Before long, I started looking forward to
this. We started bonding like you can never
imagine. In a very short space of time, we
became an item. This means spending more time
with him........at the expense of my family time.
I didn't start sleeping with him o, we kept things
off SEX Lane and surprisingly, he didn't make a
fuss. Of course, each time we saw, he wanted to
get it on but as soon as I told him 'No', he just
let me be without getting angry. At least not
obviously.
This singular act, I think, is the clincher that
made me very fond of him because back home,
the only thing that caused quarrels between my
gentleman husband and I was the fact that he
made too much fuss each time I refused him sex,
when I'm tired or not just in the mood. He gets
angry to a convulsive state and I used to wonder
if it was running away.
For more than a year of seeing each other, my
now boyfriend (OMG, am I writing this?), asked for
sex and I felt obliged. He had been very
understanding, so why don't I do him this
honors. So I agreed. He was so gentle and
alluring, handled me the way no man had ever
done me before. I felt like a woman, perhaps for
the very first time, allowing me experience
orgasm before him, Wow, is this heaven or what?
After which he gave me my 1st bath as an adult. I
had never seen that before. It's a season of firsts
for me and I was loving every second of it,
Please pardon me, I crave your indulgence, I
needed to open this up to someone and I'm glad
I found your platform. Thank you. Just hear me
out, that's all I ask.
I no longer have time for anybody and anything
else. I get infuriated by the smallest things,
making mountains out of moll hills. Any small
thing, I resign to my basement and ask that no
one disturbs me. My basement, which hitherto
was a dungeon of not-frequently-used items in
the house, is now my get-away, to be alone with
my lover, who incidentally is also married. My
loyalty to my family is brutally divided or is it
totally eroded? My husband has been and
remains a good man, i doubt if he ever has been
unfaithful to me in the close to twenty years of
our marriage and I know he doesn't deserve this.
At least, one good turn they say....
I know, I have a feeling this is bad, very bad, but
I'm enjoying this new information. Imagine, it's
been well over two years since we started
sleeping with each other and I can’t even find a
word for the kind of sex we share. My boyfriend
just knows how to keep it ever new and fresh,
every single time.
The strange thing is my husband doesn't even
have a clue I've been cheating. Even if the
thought crosses his mind, he would probably
think something is wrong with him 'upstairs' for
thinking such thoughts. AreaFada, please don't
advise me to stop o, just counsel me on the best
way you think I can keep the groove on without
breaking eggs...how to have the best of my now
two worlds.
My happiness is very important, am sexually alive
with my boyfriend.
Thank you for your time, may God bless you.
According to reports and tweets from David Ekpo,
a staff of Ecobank, Babatunde Oke was allegedly
killed in police custody yesterday. Tunde
(pictured above), who worked at the Ladipo
Oluwole, Ogba branch of the bank, had been
accused of fraud and handed over to the police.
Davido Ekpo claims Tunde died after severe
torture by the police. He leaves behind a wife and
two children, a 2 year old and a 5-month old.
A British couple spent 10 years trying to
conceive. Then the husband's friend
recommended herbal programme and introduced
them to Dr Cletus Okolo in Lagos who they paid
£4,500 for bags of herbs to help them conceive.
The herbs made the woman swell up as if
pregnant. Read full story below...
From Daily Mail
A couple’s desperation for a baby led them
into a programme of bogus herbal
treatments that convinced them she was
pregnant and had given birth - until DNA
tests proved it was a lie. The British couple,
who have not been named, returned from
the specialist hospital in Nigeria to bring up
their 'daughter' in Britain when they were
arrested, and the little girl seized.
They had gone to a doctor in Lagos, Nigeria,
to spend more than £4,500 on 'herbs' in a
last ditch attempt to conceive after a decade
of trying. Miraculously, the substances they
ate seemed to mimic the effects of
pregnancy. Even a London GP believed the
symptoms, issuing a maternity leave
certificate.
Nine months later, Dr Cletus Okolo staged a
charade labour, during which the mother was
drugged. At the end, she was handed what she
believed to be her daughter.
But when they arrived back home, with little
documentation, social workers were suspicious
and eventually arrested the couple, taking the
little girl into care.
Ten months later, they still cannot accept that the
child they brought home from Nigeria is not their
own, although DNA tests have shown
conclusively that they are not the biological
parents.
Now, in a unique decision by top family judge
Mrs Justice Hogg, the ‘intelligent, educated, hard
working’ couple has been cleared the of
allegations that they were knowing parties to the
fraud.
The judge said that, despite 10 years of trying
surgery, laser treatment and IVF, the couple, both
British citizens, had failed to conceive a child.
However, in 2010, the father bumped into a friend
from university who told of a couple who had had
twins after undergoing ‘some herbal treatment’ in
Nigeria.
They leaped at the chance and travelled to Nigeria
where a Dr Cletus Okolo prescribed a course of
herbal treatments he claimed would do the trick.
On returning to Britain and taking the herbs, the
mother noticed her body changing.
Her face, arms and belly all swelled up and even
a ‘kindly and well-meaning’ local GP took the
symptoms to mean she was seven months
pregnant.
The doctor signed off a maternity certificate and
the couple travelled back to Nigeria.
At the clinic near Lagos they handed over £4,500
and the mother was given a brown liquid to drink
before entering what she thought was a delivery
room.
The father waited in the corridor outside and, after
few minutes, heard a baby cry.
He entered the room to find the baby girl -
referred to in court only as ‘A’ - lying on the bed
beside his semi-conscious wife.
He was shown a fake umbilical cord being cut
and given a placenta to carry away in a plastic
bag.
Afterwards, Dr Okolo wrote: 'Treatment
successful, patient delivered of a baby girl. All
fees paid. God’s doing'.
That was the only document that accompanied
the birth and, when the couple flew home with
their 'daughter', social workers were quickly on
the alert.
They were later arrested and the baby girl was
taken into police protection. To the couple’s
‘considerable dismay and shock’, DNA testing
proved that the little girl was not their child.
Having waited so long for a baby, the couple
refused accept the truth.
They insisted ‘the combination of spiritual and
herbal treatments was so powerful as to be able
to change DNA’.
But the judge said: 'There is no evidence before
me to say that the result of the DNA testing was
wrong or likely to be wrong. I do not accept the
explanation of the parents.
'On that basis I have to accept the validity of the
results and find that the baby is not the biological
child of the putative parents.'
Social workers from the London Borough of
Hillingdon, as well as the child’s court-appointed
guardian, argued that the couple were ‘knowing
parties to an elaborate fraud and charade upon
the British immigration authorities and now
parties to an attempted fraud on the Court.'
They said the couple’s account of the birth was
‘littered with inconsistency’ and implausibly
embellished.
The judge conceded: 'At first blush, the immediate
reaction of the ordinary man on the proverbial
Clapham omnibus would no doubt be, "don’t be
daft, it's a fraud, they knew it”.'
However, noting the ‘enormous difficulty’ the
couple had had in conceiving a child, Mrs Justice
Hogg took them at their word when they said
they would ‘never seek to buy a baby’.
She added: 'Despite their education and
intelligence, they are struggling with the result of
the DNA test. Both of them say they still believe
that A is their natural child.
'In the end, having considered all the evidence...I
am driven to conclude that in some way they
allowed themselves to be duped by fraudsters.
'They so much wanted a baby....they allowed
themselves to fall under the spell of the
herbalists, believing what was said to the mother
and acting faithfully upon the instructions given
to them.
'Contrary to the submissions of the local authority
and guardian I do not find that the parents were
wilfully and knowingly involved with or parties to
a wrongful removal of A from her mother, or that
they cynically ‘bought’ a baby.'
The judge concluded: 'What is clear to me, having
found that she is not their biological child but the
child of another mother and father, and having
been removed from her mother very soon after
her birth, is that A certainly is the victim of
wrongdoing and illegality, and very possibly her
mother as well.
'The fact remains that A is effectively an orphan.
There is noone in this country who has parental
responsibility for her and no information as to her
birth, parentage, or background.'
Mrs Justice Hogg directed a further hearing to
decide where the little girl’s best interests lie. Her
finding that the couple were innocent dupes will
greatly improve their chances of persuading the
court that A’s future should be with them.

A dead baby girl was found this evening around
5.25pm by UNILAG canal close to the main gate
of the school in Akoka, Lagos. The baby, dressed
and wearing diapers, was already dead when
people noticed and brought her out of the canal.
Ants were seen all over her body. Such an
unbelievably heart-wrenching sight. See it after
the cut...*viewer discretion advised*
We haven't seen a pic of her in a bit. Maheeda
kinda took over...:-)
