Veteran Reggae musician, Majekodunmi Fasheke, aka Majek Fashek has been hospitalised at Queen's Hospital, London, for a serious illness and may need financial assistance to pull through.

The manager of legendary reggae star, Uzoma Day Omenka has confirmed the report that the singer is gravelly ill and receiving treatment at a hospital in London, England.

According to Omenka, Majek Fashek became gravelly ill last month and was rushed to London on August 24, 2019 after a brief admission at a Lagos hospital.

He said a notable Nigerian known for his philanthropic gestures has promised to take care of his medical bill but does not wish to have his name revealed.

"Although, his medical bill for the surgery has been taken care by this notable Nigerian. I don't want to mention his name, but we have serious issues with day to day upkeep. As I speak to you, Majek cannot eat and cannot talk, I have to do virtually everything for him. Right now, we are in dire need of finance to survive here in London.

We spend a lot of money every day to keep him alive. I have approached the Nigerian Embassy here but they abandoned us to our fate.

Majek has not eaten in days and the only food he can eat has to be specially prepared.

The truth is, we are stranded here. We are in great debt and we need help urgently if we don't want this icon to die.

President Donald Trump – 'John Legend’s wife has a filthy mouth'

Posted: 10 Sep 2019 11:00 PM PDT


United States President, Donald Trump has insulted singer, Chrissy Teigen, wife of John Legend, calling her a filthy mouthed woman.


Trump, in series of tweets said people who never contributed to the Criminal Justice Reform, were now taking the glory.

He said Legend and his wife were now talking about how great the reform was and lashed out at them for contributing nothing.

"When all of the people pushing so hard for Criminal Justice Reform were unable to come even close to getting it done, they came to me as a group and asked for my help. I got it done with a group of Senators & others who would never have gone for it. Obama couldn't come close.

"A man named Van Jones, 68, and many others, were profusely grateful (at that time!). I SIGNED IT INTO LAW, no one else did, & Republicans deserve much credit. But now that it is passed, people that had virtually nothing to do with it are taking the praise. Guys like boring.

"Musician, John Legend and his filthy mouthed wife, are talking now about how great it is – but I didn't see them around when we needed help getting it passed. "Anchor"

'@LesterHoltNBC doesn't even bring up the subject of President Trump or the Republicans when talking about the importance or passage of Criminal Justice Reform. They only talk about the minor players, or people that had nothing to do with it…And the people that so desperately sought my help when everyone else had failed, all they talk about now is Impeaching President Trump!"

Abuja court orders Busola Dakolo, Fatoyinbo to appear

Posted: 10 Sep 2019 10:00 PM PDT


The Federal High Court, sitting in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja has summoned founder of Commonwealth of Zion Assembly, Biodun Fatoyinbo and Mrs Busola Dakolo to appear before it within 14 days.
This was revealed in a court summon seen by TheCable on Monday.

Busola Dakolo, a photographer and wife of the musician, Timi Dakolo, had in June accused the founder of Commonwealth of Zion Assembly, Pastor Abiodun Fatoyinbo of rape.



Mrs Dakolo made the claims during an interview with Y!Naija.

In a suit, she filed at a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in Abuja, Mrs Dakolo claimed that the alleged action of Fatoyinbo adversely affected her marital sex life.

She, therefore, demanded "a personal letter of apology" from the cleric to show honest remorse for his misdeeds.

In her suit, which was filed on her behalf by her lawyer, Pelumi Olajengbesi and Co of Law corridor, and exclusively obtained by The PUNCH in Abuja on Sunday, Mrs Dakolo asked the court to declare that Fatoyinbo's denial of his alleged acts contained jointly and/or severally through a press statement he released on June 28 2019, had caused her continuous emotional distress and amounted to intentional infliction of emotional distress on her.

Olajengbesi said, "The claimant avers that she was immediately terrified and in shock while the defendant pinned her down on the couch following which he caressed her body, fondled her breasts, pulled her pant, quickly half-pulled his trousers and ordered her to allow him have his way with her.

"The claimant avers that the defendant in the process used his hand to cover her mouth, thereby muffling her screams. The claimant avers that the defendant made efforts to penetrate her vagina, whilst she struggled to fight him off; however, the defendant overpowered her and penetrated her vagina and had sexual intercourse with her.

"The claimant avers that while she was in shock of the incident which had rendered her befuddled and mortified, the defendant rushed out of the living room area of her family home and briefly returned with a bottle of soda (Krest) which he forced down her throat thereby making her breathing difficult."

Ahead Of Valencia Clash, There Seem Some Bad News For Barcelona

Posted: 10 Sep 2019 04:20 PM PDT

Messi
Ahead of Valencia, Barcelona encounter at the Camp Nou, Barca could be without three first team players after the international break, as Ernesto Valverde's chances of having Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Samuel Umtiti for the game looks unlikely.
There is a bit of good news with Junior Firpo returning to full training with the Barcelona squad. The left-back missed the recent clash against Osasuna due to a left knee ligament issue, however he is back working with his teammates.
However, Messi and Suarez continue to work on the sidelines, separated from the main group. Both players are recovering well, though, and they could be available for the meeting with Valencia after the conclusion of the international break if they respond well to the continuous increase in workload.
After enjoying four days off, those players who weren't part of international fixtures returned to training on Monday and Valverde will be monitoring fitness levels throughout the week, with the Champions League due to commence soon as well. Ansu Fati, the breakout teenage star of Barcelona's season so far, has also continued to train with the first team after his crucial goal against Osasuna.


 Barcelona need not worry a lot about Samuel Umtiti's recent ailment because isn't a serious injury. The player left the French squad on Sunday after suffering some discomfort in his right foot, but it turns out he only has a bruise.

 The defender underwent a series of scans on Monday in the Catalan club's medical facility, where the aforementioned conclusion was reached. What isn't clear, though, is the exact date of his return, although there is a chance he could be fit in time to feature against Valencia in the next LaLiga Santander fixture.

JUST IN! Buhari’s Aide Bashes Atiku As PEPT Set To Deliver Judgement Tomorrow

Posted: 10 Sep 2019 09:17 AM PDT

Atiku Abubakar

Tolu Ogunlesi, Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Digital Communications, has trolled former Vice President and Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in the February 23 presidential election, Atiku Abubakar over his petition before the Presidential Elections Petitions Tribunal (PEPT).

The Presidential Elections Petitions Tribunal is scheduled to deliver judgment on the presidential election on Wednesday, 11th.

Trolling the PDP presidential candidate and his party, Tolu Ogunlesi tweeting via his twitter account Tuesday afternoon said;

"A few random thoughts on the PDP presidential election petition:

"All of the planks on which they've based their petition have turned out to be k-legged. All.

"Start with the server claims. Easily the biggest joke of 2019. 110% fabricated claims. Star witnesses had zero proof when questioned. 'Expert' witnesses (incl one from Kenya) were similarly clueless. Best they had was a 3rd party ANON site. Sad joke.

Tolu Ogunlesi
He continues thus, "Another big k-leg – they were able to summon only about 60 witnesses – you can't prove a governorship case with 60 witnesses, not to talk of presidential (Google to see what Governorship petition witness numbers look like).

"Another k-leg: a document dump. They dumped thousands of documents on Court, without linking these documents to actual claims in the petition. (You can't do this linking without witnesses) Here's what Court had to say about a recent case of dumping by another party, in 2019 PEPT cycle

"Another plank of the petition – trying to cast doubt on the President's school leaving certificate. Dead on arrival, with the verifications from WAEC and Cambridge.


"This is from a recent judgement of the Court of Appeal: "The burden of proving an election petition rests squarely on the petitioner who must succeed on the strength of his case as the burden of proof lies on the person who would fail if no evidence at all was given…"

Concluding he says the party and its presidential candidate have put together one of the most hare-brained petitions:

"In a nutshell: 'He who alleges must prove.' Unfortunately, our friends have put together one of the most hare-brained (I'm not even being uncharitable) petitions in the history of PEPTs in Nigeria."

Eating Of Human Flesh Is The Solution To Climate Change - Scientist Says

Posted: 10 Sep 2019 08:59 AM PDT

Cannibalism has been proposed by a Swedish scientist, Magnus Soderlund, as a seemingly bizarre solution to combat climate change.

Meat

Soderlund who is a Stockholm School of Economics professor and researcher has according to NEW YORK POST, said that he believes that eating human meat, which is derived from corpses, might be the remedy of the human race if only the world would "awaken the idea."

The Swedish Professor canvassed this position at a panel talk titled, "Can You Imagine Eating Human Flesh?" at the Gastro Summit in Stockholm.

He said "conservative" abominations against the eating of human flesh could change over time if people simply tried eating human flesh.

When quizzed during an interview after his discourse on if he was willing to try human flesh personally, Soderlund stated that he was open to the idea.
"I feel somewhat hesitant but to not appear overly conservative…I'd have to say…I'd be open to at least tasting it," he said.

He then made suggestions of other options including eating of pets and insects.

Meanwhile, the Standard reports that a tribe in Papua New Guinea had practiced eating of dead bodies to serve as an alternative to the bodies being consumed by worms. This practice eventually resulted in an epidemic of a disease called Kuru, also known as laughing death.

In 1960, this practice of eating human flesh came to its end in Papua New Guinea.
