Wendy Williams to support son in court over assault on dad
Wendy Williams will be in court to support son, Kevin Jnr who is billed to be arraigned before a judge for assaulting his father, Kevin Hunter.

According to TMZ, Wendy Williams and her estranged husband, Kevin Hunter will be in court on Tuesday, June 25, 2019, where their son will be arraigned. They will be turning up to support him.

Reports indicate that Wendy does not want to create a spectacle in the New Jersey courtroom. She will say nothing in court she's only there to support her son, as is Kevin.


Kevin Sr. does not want to press charges, but because it's domestic incident prosecutors often press on regardless. It would be recalled that a few weeks ago Kevin Hunter Jnr was arrested by the police for assaulting his father.

Three Nigerians Arrested by Indian Police with 254 grams of cocaine

Posted: 26 Jun 2019 12:30 AM PDT

The Prohibition and Excise Police in India, has arrested two Nigerians and an Ivory Coast national for drug peddling.


Ugochukwu Goodluck, Okoro Samuel, and Zadi Pascal, an Ivorian, were arrested with 254 grams of cocaine worth 15 lakh during a raid in Hyderabad on Sunday, June 23, 2019, according to a report by the Times of India.

The deputy commissioner of the department, C Vivekananda Reddy, explained that Goodluck worked for a Bengaluru-based cocaine supplier named Ebuka, another Nigerian, while Samuel worked for a Mumbai-based supplier named Dandy.

Reddy said Dandy operates based on instruction from a Nigerian-based peddler identified as Lucky. Pascal worked with both the Mumbai and Bengaluru groups.

During the raid, authorities also seized 3.2 lakh in cash which the suspects allegedly said they collected from clients. Three motorcycles and four cell phones were also recovered from the suspects.

According to Reddy, Goodluck had arrived Hyderabad a few days before the raid and handed over cocaine to Pascal. Samuel had also travelled from Mumbai to keep a watch on Pascal's operations on behalf of Dandy and Lucky.

Lucky, Ebuka and Dandy remain at large, but the Goodluck, Samuel and Pascal have been remanded in judicial custody after arraignment before the court.

All the peddlers were discovered to have been staying illegally in India with no valid visa.

Reddy said some customers have also been identified by authorities and will face appropriate legal action.

Man Who Told Wole Soyinka To Get Off His Seat Shames Trolls After Giving Reasons For His Action

Man Who Told Wole Soyinka To Get Off His Seat Shames Trolls After Giving Reasons For His Action
Tosin Odunfa, a Nigerian media personality has disclosed that he is the young man that told Prof. Wole Soyinka to get up from his airplane seat.

Recall that the incident sparked controversy, after  business executive, Tonye Cole claimed that the young man disrespected the Nobel Laureate. However Tosin Odufa who claimed he is the young man that told Wole Soyinka to get up from his airplane seat, took to his Instagram handle to debunk reports of him being disrespectful, in his words, "Prof didn't mind getting up".

He also revealed that he was on the Autism spectrum and needed the view from the window to keep him from getting sick on the plane, hence his insisting on taking the window seat.

He wrote;
"I am the young guy! Yes, the one in question with a baseball cap and t-shirt, I am unashamed to be at the prime of my youth, in fact, I blushed a little bit after reading your description of my chest and muscles. Is thank to strong discipline that I live a fit life and I am able to go to the gym o my tight schedule.

"Prof. didn't mind getting up and in fact, he confided in me as we chatted later on the flight that he would have done the same and that he was more embarrassed by the undue attention. Prof and I actually have few things in common, we are both in academia, I have a Ph.D in Electrical Engineering and teach Nano Electromagnetic Theory at the University of Mannittawiw.


"He said to me that he thinks that Nigerian youths need to stand up more for themselves than we do and he spoke to me about the ideals they tried to promote when he co-founded a secret society in his youth. I have read up on him now and know for sure that Wole Soyinka is a great man but I sadly was not taught about him in school. We exchanged contact information and I will certainly stay in touch.

"Please, note that I am on the Autism spectrum and need the view from the window to keep me from getting sick on the plane, hence my insisting on taking the window seat. Finally, Brother Tonye, the words on your lap are very inspiring, "everything you want is on the other side of not giving up," he explained.

Buhari vs Atiku: PDP’s Application To Inspect INEC Server Rejected, Reno Omokri Reacts

Posted: 25 Jun 2019 04:25 PM PDT

Reno Omokri

Former aide to Nigeria's ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, on Monday, spoke on the Nigerian justice system, wondering if getting justice was still possible in the country.

Omokri said this while reacting to the rejection of the application by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and its 2019 presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to inspect the server used by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, in the last election, Daily Post reports.

The Presidential election petition tribunal had on Monday dismissed the application which was filed by Atiku and the PDP.

Chairman of the panel, Justice Mohammed Garba, had ruled that granting such application at this interlocutory stage would preempt the substantive petition.

Imo 2019: Nwosu, Okorocha’s Son In-Law, Reacts As AA Withdraws Suit Against PDP, Emeka Ihedioha

Posted: 25 Jun 2019 10:05 AM PDT


Uche Nwosu

The governorship candidate of the Action Alliance, AA, Imo State, in the 2019 general elections, Mr. Uche Nwosu, has reacted to his party's withdrawal of election petition against the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and its candidate, Governor Emeka Ihedioha.

In a statement on Monday, Onwuasoanya Jones, his spokesman, said Nwosu, who is a son in-law to the immediate past Governorof the state, Rochas Okorocha, was not bothered but determined to reclaim his mandate, Daily Post reports.

The statement said: "We wish to assure all supporters of good governance, advocates of justice and all believers in the Ugwumba Uche Nwosu mandate that there is absolutely no cause for alarm, as this judgement has in no way vitiated our credible contention that Ugwumba Uche Nwosu was the undisputed winner of that election, and we expect the learned justices to serve justice by declaring him the winner of that election.

"We are not unaware of the jubilation going on in the camp of the PDP, and the suspicious interest they have shown in this matter.

"While we sympathize with Imolites over the possible squandering of our commonwealth to procure individuals and accessories, that may help them perpetuate their illegal reign, we encourage all Imolites of goodwill to remain steadfast and firm, as the best news for Imolites is yet ahead.

"We are also delighted to inform Imolites that attempts by the PDP and Chief Ihedioha to prevail on the tribunal to strike off our matter was resisted by the learned justices.

"With this development, Ugwumba Uche Nwosu is still very much on course to retrieve his mandate from the thieving locusts.

"We commend all members of the Action Alliance in Imo State and all over Nigeria for their consistent support to, Ugwumba Uche Nwosu and we assure them of our unwavering commitment to the reclaiming our freely given mandate and deploying this mandate towards serving the best interest of the highest number of the people."

INEC Server: We Are In Situation Similar To June 12 - Atiku's Aide

Posted: 25 Jun 2019 09:06 AM PDT

Alhaji Atiku Abubakar

Nigeria's electoral umpire, the National Electoral Commission (INEC), has been accused of attempting to drag Nigeria towards a path similar to June 12 election annulment.

Sani Adamu, this accusation was made by an aide to the main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate in the last general election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, Daily Sun reports.

Alhaji Atiku's aide, said it was evident that INEC obtained, deployed servers to the 36 states of the federation including the Federal Capital Territory for the last general election.

"We are in a situation similar to the June 12, 1993 election of Chief Moshood Abiola. Atiku Abubakar is being denied his victory by the combined forces of the security agencies in Nigeria, the APC and the cabal.

"That is why all the talks and rigmarole by INEC about the fundamental of the availability or otherwise of INEC server has taken turns for the worst. The truth is INEC has complete and complementary ICT System in place.

RELATED: APC tackles PDP over claim on INEC server

"So, the question should shift from the availability of server to whether INEC as a public institution is prepared to serve the people or to serve the cabal.

"I wish to state without fear of contradiction, that INEC has indeed, procured, installed and deployed servers in the 36 states of the federation and the FCT," he said.

Moment Burna Boy’s mother gives powerful speech while accepting son’s BET Awards

Posted: 25 Jun 2019 07:00 AM PDT


Burna Boy won the award for Best International Act at the 2019 BET Awards that held last night.
Though he was at the event with his girlfriend, Stefflon Don, he wasn't available when it was time to receive his award so his mum went on his behalf.

"He must be the most restless person I ever met, because he was here right now," Burna's mother said of her son as she accepted his award.

She then gave a short acceptance speech that was so powerful and moved everyone present.

Speaking with grace and poise, she said: "Thank you very much BET. Thank you Africa. Because that's the constituency for which we got noticed in the first place. And the message from Burna, I believe, would be that every black person should please remember that you were Africans before you became anything else.

At this point, a loud cheer went up in the venue.

"Thank you," she concluded, lifting the award plaque and left the stage.

American OAPs said ‘Without Drake, nobody will know Wizkid’

Posted: 25 Jun 2019 06:30 AM PDT

American OAPs said 'Without Drake, nobody will know Wizkid'  
Some American music heads were discussing the growth of Afrobeats in America and they had a few things to say about Wizkid and some other revered African music acts.

According to members of the Road Podcast, Wizkid would have been widely unknown safe for the fact that he worked with Drake.

The Podcast crew attributed any success Wizkid enjoys in America largely to the exposure given to him by OVO honcho Drake with whom he made 'One Dance' with.

A particular podcaster said 'Wizkid is trying to be the Sean Paul of Afrobeat but he is not even close'. He went on to say there is really no poster boy for Afrobeat music.

Another explained that if Afrobeat music was in discussion the names that would pop up would be Davido and Wizkid.

The controversial video was shared by Shopsydoo, UK Afrobeat promoter and media personality.

Young Nigerian orders Wole Soyinka out of his flight seat

Young Nigerian orders Wole Soyinka out of his flight seat
Oil Mogul Tonye Patrick Cole has narrated a story how a young man ordered Professor Wole Soyinka, Nigeria's only Nobel laureate, literary giant, globally and nationally respected figure out of his seat, on a flight.

Tonye Cole did not indicate whether it was a local or international flight, but the story posted on Sunday has elicited outrage and condemnation of the young man, for committing sacrilege. Some others have sided the young man for insisting on his right.


Here is Tonye Cole's story posted on Instagram

"I met one of the greatest Nigerians walking the earth today and as with other times, he was genteel, witty, forthright and humble. My smile gives me away as he permitted the picture whereas he would have preferred to get back to his newspapers.

Then we boarded the flight and after assisting him with his bags, he took the window seat and promptly started reading again.

A few minutes later this young man, baseball cap, t-shirt to show his muscled chest and tattooed biceps boards the plane and tells Prof he is on his seat (which he was). Those of us including the cabin crew tried to reason with Bobo Fine to let the old man be but the chap refused. He insisted Prof should vacate his window seat, which the old man quietly did for his original aisle seat next to him.

I couldn't understand how we got to this point where we no longer have respect for elders, even if are so ignorant of the great global personalities in our midst. Is it too much to ask that an elderly man be allowed to remain in a seat allotted to you in the same business class cabin and the same row?
Na wa o!

Comedian and MC, Gbenga Adeyinka, One of those who reacted to the post said:

"It's a sad reflection of who we have become. Let's even forget who Prof Wole Soyinka is (although thats hard to do).

"Consider his age. If that is where he feels comfortable, it behoves the young man to allow him sit there considering his age. It's like me telling my father to stand up from where I sit normally when he comes to visit.

"We were brought up to stand up for the elderly, women (pregnant or otherwise) but I guess that is no longer the NORM. ITS A PRIVILEGE… (A VERY RARE ONE AT THAT ) TO BE SEATED CLOSE TO PROF. My opinion is the YOUNG CHAP SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HIMSELF. IT'S LIKE MEETING WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE AND TELLING HIM TO VACATE A SEAT COS YOU WERE ALLOCATED THE SEAT"
