| 2Baba reveals how Annie, his wife was his biggest fan when he had nothing Posted: 01 Jun 2020 12:30 AM PDT  Veteran singer and songwriter, Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2baba has opened up on why he chose his wife, Annie Idibia, over the other women in his life when it was time for him to settle down.2baba in an interview spoke well of all the past women he's dated and baby mamas but spoke expressly on Annie.When Dj Anyaloko, the journalist interviewing 2Face Idibia asked him why he chose to marry Annie Idibia out of all the women in his life, he said;'you see Perro Aseniyi who gave birth to my first son graduated from a top UK university as a medical student and is now a doctor. She is very beautiful and intelligent from a very wealthy family'He continued; 'Sandra who gave birth to my other two kids is a dealer in expensive diamond and gold jewelries. She was already a multi-millionaire when I met her. She owns one of the most expensive houses in Banana Island. Her family too are very well to do.  He also spoke about Sumbo; 'Sumbo who gave birth to two kids for me is also a very intelligent first class lawyer. She has worked on and won many big cases for many wealthy men and women in the country and abroad. That's how she made her money and she too is very beautiful as well. Then with a gentle smile he spoke about Annie. He said; 'but you see Annie is from an average background like myself. We both started from nothing. She stuck by me through it all. When there was no car she hopped on bikes, took the bus and trekked with me. When there was no money or house or hit song or millions of albums sold or big awards and accolades. When I used to repeat just 3 sets of clothes, she would always hold my head, look me in the eyes and tell me things will be fine one day. When I wasn't handsome, she would call me her prince charming. When I wasn't celebrated, she called me her king and said she is my number one fan and to this day, she still is. Even when I made it big as a musician and started misbehaving and controversies almost destroyed my career, she would go down on her knees and pray to God to show me the way and give me victory over my enemies. Now if am still that small boy struggling to make it like every other young chap on the streets of Lagos, do you think a doctor, a lawyer and a multi-millionaire business woman would want to look at me or even have my kids? No, so to answer your question, I did not chose who had more to offer me, I chose Annie because she offered me her all when we had very little".  |

| Posted: 31 May 2020 10:30 PM PDT  Prophet Chukwuemeka Ohanaemere, an Onitsha based pastor popularly known as Odumeje has apologised to the People of Arondizuogu in Imo State and Awka in Anambra State, over hurtful statements he made in viral videos on their mode of worship.Odumeje in separate videos that went viral on social media in April had allegedly attacked Arondizuogu people, describing them as fetish, just as he attacked one of their prominent sons, Pericomo too.For Awka, Odumeje described their masquerade festival, Egwu Imo Awka as being fetish and a means of worshiping monkeys, which is the symbol of the god.In one of the videos, Odumeje was seen boasting that if he came in contact with the monkeys worshiped by Awka people, he would destroy them.Though Odumeje's community, Orsu in Imo State had written to the communities involved, tendering apologies, he has remained indifferent, maintaining his silence, while more videos of him deriding the communities surfaced. But in a press release signed by the popular pastor and made available to DAILY POST on Saturday morning, he apologized to the two towns, saying that he had watched and found his own videos on them hurtful. Below is the full text of the release:  "My attention has been drawn to publications on social media over the alleged face-off between me and the good people of Awka and Arondizuogu communities in Anambra and Imo States respectively. "In the said posts, I was portrayed as declaring war on the people of these communities and their respective traditional festivals and beliefs. It was also alleged that I had vowed to destroy Imo-Awka festival and put a stop to the Ikeji festival of Arondizuogu. "Consequent upon the above, I wish to acknowledge that the people of Awka and Arondizuogu communities are peace loving and I have over the years come to share fellowship and service in church with a great number of them. "These two communities and their renowned indigenes have been known and recognized as major contributors to the development of their states, Igbo land and the nation at large. "Awka and Arondizuogu communities have produced great men and women of integrity and pedigree and have always remained at the top of great sons and daughters of Igbo land. "Against this backdrop and with every humility as a Servant of the Living God, I sincerely apologise to the great people of these two Communities, to the entire people of Igbo land and to my Elders for my utterances. I will not make any attempts to justify my statement as even I can see that it's hurtful in all its ramifications. "I also want to specially apologize to the family of Mazi Pericomo of Arondizuogu who I understand until his passing was a diligent servant ( Evangelist) of God. I apologize and put it on record that this experience has taught me that words that speak any form of divisive conversation amongst our people MUST be checked. This is a time for unity, love and unwavering support for each other. "Similarly, I lend my voice to the directives of the federal and state government in observing all the COVID-19 protocols, while waiting on the Lord for the end of the pandemic."  |
| Yabatech graduate who blackmailed singer, Salawa Abeni with her unclad photos gets arrested Posted: 31 May 2020 10:00 PM PDT  Men of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) have arrested a 19-year-old Olufowoke Oladunjiye Emmanuel, a National Diploma holder of Yaba College of Technology, Lagos for blackmailing veteran singer, Queen Salawa Abeni with her ''nude photos".The police launched an investigation into the matter when the singer came online on April 1 to raise an alarm after she had a chat with the blackmailer who told her that he has her nude photos in his possession and would release them if she fails to pay him some money.Following a detailed investigation, the suspect, Emmanuel who resides at Brentfield Avenue, Peace Estate, Magboro, Ogun State, was arrested by the Decoy Team of Rapid Response Squad last week Thursday after three days of trailing him.The suspect who is a 2017.2018 Electrical Engineering graduate from YABATECH, said he picked up a memory card containing the nude photos of the Waka Queen on the floor in YABATECH in November 2019. After downloading the photos, he decided to contact her after getting her number on the internet. "On 1st of April, 2020, I chatted her up and also called her after sending a few of the photos to her online. My intention was to negotiate with her for few bucks and for me to destroy the photographs. I thought everything was going on fine until the following day when I heard the news of the blackmail over the radio. I was with my mother. She was even cursing the blackmailer unknown to her that I was the brain behind it. I immediately sneaked out, destroyed the memory card and threw my mobile phone and SIM card into a nearby wetland in Magboro. Since then, I never mentioned it to anyone and called Madam Salawa Abeni about it again", he said Commenting on the arrest, the Lagos state Commissioner for Police, CP Hakeem Odumosu, stated that no individual would be allowed to commit a crime in Lagos from any state or escape to other states in Nigeria to evade arrest. He advised guardians to monitor their wards, emphasizing that the internet is a fertile ground for opportunities but the State command would not allow criminals to use it as an avenue to exploit law-abiding Lagosians.  |

"It's natural to wish for life "to just get back to normal" as a pandemic and economic crisis upend everything around us," he said. "But we have to remember that for millions of Americans, being treated differently on account of race is tragically, painfully and maddeningly "normal" – whether it's while dealing with the healthcare system, or interacting with the criminal justice system, or jogging down the street, or just watching birds in a park."   |

| Anthony Joshua talks abut his challenges in finding true love Posted: 31 May 2020 04:00 AM PDT  Professional British boxer, Anthony Joshua has revealed the challenges he is facing in finding true love, adding that he is yet to find someone to call his girlfriend.He spoke with to The Sun about life in lockdown with his family including becoming "super dad" to his four-year-old son, JJ, and how it has been hard for him to balance his profession together with his personal life.AJ says: "I think you can date and still be a successful sportsman but it's hard to find a balance and I would have to compromise — which I've not felt able to do."My dad never gave me advice about much. But in terms of relationships what I have learnt and what I tell my son is, it would be nice to find a high school sweetheart and to grow together because as you get older you get set in your ways."For me to have a relationship now means I would have to compromise and change my ways and I don't know how easy that would be for me to do. "So I do date but I don't get to the stage where I actually put anyone into that position. "I don't have a girlfriend and I haven't had one for a while. But as I get older I do think it would be nice to have someone, someone to grow with as well — but I honestly haven't found anyone." The British Nigerian boxer also went on to say that he hopes to find a woman who would have to understand what it's like to be famous, He explains: "Maybe I need to get off the estate and start going to celebrity parties — maybe do something different. "I hope I will — and probably meeting someone else who understands fame would make sense. I would hope so. But it needs to be someone down to earth, family-orientated – someone who can call my mum their second mum. "It takes time to grow that and, as I said, now I am older I am stuck in my ways. As I get older it would be nice to bring someone into my world but it's dependent on who and I just haven't found someone yet. "Maybe we can go on a hunt. We have all the time now." Joshua also revealed how he has become super-dad while in lockdown with his four-year-old son, JJ AJ says: "I started off as super-dad and then that slowly went out the window and to be honest he's watching way too much TV now. "The only thing he wants to do is watch Paw Patrol and Ryan's World – there's no way you'd get him watching Joe Wicks." "At home, he doesn't really think of me as a famous boxer or anything like that. I'm not a superstar and he doesn't think so either. He knows I fight but that's all.  "I always keep that stuff away from home. I'm not like that at home – and I'm not even like that when I go out, really." AJ, who has been home-schooling his son doesn't think he would be sending back to school when the lockdown come to an end. The heavyweight says: "The next conversation is about him going back to school — although I'm not too sure if we'll send my boy back to school just yet." While boxing fans want to see him fight British rival Tyson Fury, AJ says: "In my own mind I had mentally written off most of this year but, if I was to fight this year, it would probably be November or December. "It's difficult at the moment knowing how you cover the costs, and whether you could charge people in the circumstances for pay per view." On how he's been keeping fit, AJ explains: "It's my lifestyle. That's what I've done all my life – instead of going to college, I went to the school of boxing. I learnt how to fight. "So I'm still doing my studying, I'm still doing my education but I've got a key to my local gym which I'm allowed to go in. You need discipline and that's one thing I've got personally, I don't need to be told or pushed – it's in my character. "I just hit the bags, skip and it's the first time in my whole boxing career where I've been left alone. "Normally I've got someone in my ear, telling me what to do, how to do it and I've actually really enjoyed being on my own. It's been a blessing. "And there's nobody to spar with so you don't get hit — that's not always a bad thing!" He went on: "My workout regime is always boxing and it's one of the things I love most about boxing. Out of all sports, you really don't need much to get started.  |
