Graphic pic: Over 200 killed this afternoon in Jos twin bomb blast Posted: 20 May 2014 09:30 AM PDT OK, apparently the bomb explosion that occurred this afternoon at the densely populated Terminus Market near Murtala Mohammed way in Jos is more serious than we thought. The twin explosion, which occurred 30 minutes apart, reportedly killed at least 200 people according to eye-witnesses, making it deadlier than the Nyanya blast. The bomb was planted in two cars, a Peugeot J5 van and a Toyota Sienna SUV with a Gombe state license plate number. Eye-witnesses said the car had been parked near the busy market since early this morning and had even drawn the curiosity of people in the area who allegedly alerted the police. It exploded many hours later. See a pic of some bodies being removed from the scene after the cut |

Prince Eke releases statement on Angela Okorie saga, apologizes to fans Posted: 20 May 2014 05:56 AM PDT Actor and film maker Prince Eke has released an official press statement in regards to the recent theft scandal involving himself, a South Africa based rapper named Prosper and actress Angela Okorie. In the statement released exclusively to Encomium magazine, Prince Eke apologized to his fans for getting himself involved in the messy scandal. He also advised Angela Okorie to desist from spreading the allegations of him conniving with Prosper to spoil her name. His statement below... This is just the crime I committed and the lady involved is now dragging my name in the mud, saying she got me passport to travel to South Africa. For God's sake, I flew United Airways to Houston on January 30th, 2014 to film. I proceeded to Maryland where I shot another movie directed by Kingsley Ukaegbu, featuring Best Davies, Moses Efret and Oge Okoye. I returned to Nigeria on march 13 2014 and this was three weeks before the South African trip. So its stupid for someone to say she got me passport. It is very sad that when you try to support people to grow, they turn around and stab you at the back. $1,000 my foot! This is someone who actually begged and pleaded that she can't afford to pay me, that I should help her. I still have a munched copy of the SMS she sent with her phone number. "On the issue of paying my flight to South Africa, professionally, a producer is responsible for flights, accommodation and welfare of artiste during the production. So she wasn't doing me a favor. Why would she say I connived with Prosper to Blackmail her? Come on, that's too cheap. This someone I even persuaded an American based Director{ Kingsley Ukaegbu) to feature in a movie I have booked to film in Maryland in July 2014. What more can one do to satisfy people on earth? I also have a munched copy of my conversation with Kingsley. So what could have gone wrong for one to think that I want to blackmail her? Besides, she first introduce prosper to me as her boyfriend. How now could he be more of my friend than Hers?" |

50 Cent blasted for skipping son's graduation Posted: 20 May 2014 04:24 AM PDT Over the weekend, 50 cent's oldest son Marquise Jackson claimed the famous rapper skipped his high school graduation. A disappointed Marquis, who cried with his mum, took to instagram to let people know what his dad did and black twitter came after 50. Guess high school graduation is a pretty big deal to some. Not only was 50cent no show at the graduation, he didn't share the happy news on his social media pages. It's no secret that he and his son haven't been getting along for a while and over the weekend the chasm between them grew even wider. Oh and check the resemblance... |

Gen. Buhari denies man caught by EFCC for scam is his adopted son Posted: 20 May 2014 02:31 AM PDT Gen. Buhari has denied that the Mohammed Buhari who was arrested by EFCC for N20million scam is his adopted son. The man had claimed to be related to the former military head of state. (read here) Reacting yesterday, chairman of the Buhari Vanguard, Jasper Azuatalam, said Gen. Buhari had no need to adopt any children as God had blessed him with both male and female children. Gen Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) wishes to state categorically that he does not have any adopted son called "Muhammed Buhari" and had no need to adopt a son at any time having been blessed with choice children, both male and female. "Muhammadu Buhari and his family do not know the said "Muhammed Buhari" who is alleged to be involved in a N20m scam and is being held by the EFCC as reported." Muhammadu Buhari is blessed with very decent and disciplined children who obviously took after their father.

Pics of soldiers killed by Boko Haram that caused military mutiny in Maiduguri Posted: 20 May 2014 02:17 AM PDT Very often we hear that soldiers in battle with the dreaded Islamic sect Boko Haram were killed, but we hardly get to see the fallen officers. Well, here are two of them. The officer on the left is Major Olalekan Akintola, aka Lokoso, he was one of the officers ambushed and killed by Boko Haram men last Wednesday night. The officer on the right is Lt Odushina Oluwafemi, he and his fellow soldiers were killed when their convoy was ambushed by Boko Haram after their GOC, Major General Abubakar Mohammed, made them make an unusual trip, his friends say. Their deaths sparked a mutiny against the GOC. Y'all remember the story last week. The GOC has since been redeployed because of the incident. Lt Odushina Oluwafemi attended Air Force Secondary School Ikeja, and has served as part of the UN peace keeping forces in Darfur. He went to Pakistan for additional training course and was only deployed to Maiduguri in March 2014 where he met his untimely death. May their souls rest in peace. |
