A newspaper vendor at Iyana Ipaja roundabout beside Ecobank slumped this evening. The people around him tried to resuscitate him but couldn't. They searched his pockets and couldn't find any phone or ID to identify him or contact anyone who knows him. If anyone knows him, please rush there as he's still there...or can the right authority go pick him up. Another pic after the cut...




Christian Pastor jailed because he won't wed gay couple

Posted: 15 Jul 2015 12:31 PM PDT

A pastor at the Christian Proctor Church in Vermont, USA, has been sentenced to one year in federal prison after refusing to marry gay couples, according to NBC. This comes shortly after the Supreme Court's 5-4 decision ruling that states must allow gay-marriage.

The Christian Pastor, 56-year-old Paul Horner, had his lawyer speak to reporters on his behalf.
"We are currently disputing the guilty verdict and I am confident my client will be a free man here shortly," said attorney Tom Downey. "Horner was just using his best judgement according to his rights and religious freedom in this country."
The Honorable Myron Danus (pictured above) handed down the harsh sentence. "Religious freedom goes both ways, Mr. Horner," Danus told a packed courtroom. "It is not your place to deny individuals the same rights that everyone else has, rights that were passed down and agreed upon in a court of law, the ultimate court, the Supreme Court. It is not your decision whether or not you agree with the law but more importantly that you follow it and enforce it."

According to the criminal investigation, the Christian Proctor Church is registered with the state as a "religious corporation" limited to performing "one-man-one-woman marriages as defined by the Holy Bible." But the church is also registered as a for-profit business and city officials said that means the owners must comply with state and federal regulations.

Steve Shand president of the Vermont Family Research Committee, said it is "open season on Americans who refuse to bow to the government's redefinition of marriage."

"Homosexuals are gay," Shand told reporters. "Why should Christian ministers be forced to perform and celebrate any marriage that conflicts with their beliefs? It's a slippery slope my friend. Pretty soon these same pastors will be forced to wed animals or kitchen appliances. This is not my America!"

Gwen Hawkins who is president of the LGBT Pride Center in Vermont said she is happy with the guilty verdict.

"We just want the same rights as everyone else and this guilty verdict sets a great precedent," Hawkins said. "These fanatical Christians base their life on one verse in the Bible but they seem to forget the other 99% of the verses in the book. For example, why can't we stone to death Bristol Palin for having a baby out of wedlock? And what about her mother, Sarah Palin, breaking the rules of Corinthians 14:34 which clearly state that as a woman, she is not allowed to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. But no, they like to pick the one verse in the Bible about gay people and build their camp around it."

Proctor is a town in Rutland County, Vermont, United States. The population was 1,741 at the 2010 census. Proctor is home to the Vermont Marble Museum and Wilson Castle.

Nelson's Jombo's movie 'Miss Taken' generates mixed feelings

Posted: 15 Jul 2015 12:25 PM PDT

Miss Taken, a new movie produced by Nelson Jombo; a filmmaker whose career began working with Uche Jombo Studios as a co-producer has generated a flurry of mixed feelings from viewers as it rides high on love, betrayal, laughter, tears, deceit and pulsating suspense.

"Miss Taken" tells the tale of an Inspector General charged with corruption and financial misconduct by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).



His eldest daughter, Ruby who stands solidly behind her father oversees his properties and tries to control her rebellious younger sister, Chinny.

But just as things begin to brighten for Ruby, she finds that even family can be one's greatest enemy.

The movie stars various artistes such as Seun Akindele, Ruth Kadiri, Uru Eke, Uchenna Nnanna, Laure JE and many more.

The movie has been scheduled for its DVD release under Uche Jombo production.  


Nelson Jombo has numerous titles to his credit and has been a delegate representing the film industry on several tours, seminars, events and workshops hosted by distinct African leaders.

His attention to details has seen him rise through the ranks to become a vibrant force to reckon with in the industry as he continues to expand and launch into new frontiers.

His diversity in production has contributed to the unique style of his movies.

His recent successful movie, 'Luke of Lies' proves his assortment in production, as the movie starred Luke (Alex Ekubo), Susan (Daniella Okeke), Obom (Eddie Watson) and Shola (Belinda Effah) and focused particularly on Obom and his long-term online dating scam. The movie eventually became one of the best-selling movies in March 2015; the month of its release. 


Drawing from both traditional and contemporary sources, Nelson's productions are more realistic than imaginative, which is what most producers today disregard.
The titles of his movies are comical yet compelling; some of which, include 'Stolen Lives,' 'House Girl Lover,' 'My Rich Boyfriend' among others.

Stay away from Benue state, governor Ortom warns homosexuals

Posted: 15 Jul 2015 07:32 AM PDT

While hosting the Prelate of the Anglican Communion of Nigeria, Archbishop Nicholas Okoh, in Makurdi yesterday, Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State asked homosexuals to stay away from the state, warning that his administration would not spare anyone caught practicing it in the state.
"Gay lifestyle is alien to the customs, lifestyles, and the belief of Africans and the church, even though it is being promoted in the Western world. I sincerely pray that a revival would spring from Benue State and produce evangelists that would drive evangelization in Africa and the Western world because the personal knowledge of the Lord Jesus is the solution to the decadence sweeping across many nations today." Ortom said (Vanguard)

VP’s Wife, Mrs. Dolapo Osinbajo, Celebrities Honour Project Smile

Posted: 15 Jul 2015 07:19 AM PDT

Wife of the Vice President of Nigeria, Mrs Dolapo Osinbajo among other guests which included celebrities, diplomats, and captains of industries were present at the Project Smile 3.0 Smile Makeover Award Ceremony & Fund Raising event which took place last weekend at the Civic Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos.

The event which began with a red carpet reception and cocktails had in attendance notable figures from the corporate arena, media landscape and entertainment sphere. In attendance was Chief Dele Momodu, Publisher of Ovation International; Tonye Cole, CEO, Sahara Group; Bukky George, CEO, HealthPlus; Tonye Garrick; Maje Ayida, Celebrity Fitness Consultant; Dr. Funmi Ashiwaju, VP, Nigerian Dental Association; Clare Omatseye, MD, JNC Internation Ltd., Uzoma Dozie, GMD/CEO, Diamond Bank and others. The event was anchored by renowned Master of Ceremony who anchors the Big Brother Africa Reality Show till date, IK Osakioduwa. The guests were entertained to special genre of music performed by TemiDollFace.

The highpoint of the event was the declaration of winners, presentation of the Smile Makeover certificate to the winners and the fund raising ceremony of the Adopt-a-Smile scheme designed for guests to adopt treatment costs of the other candidates who didn't make it to the winning class and whose dental cases may elicit the sympathy and support of the guests.  The candidates who were grouped in three categories- Severe, Moderate, and Mild emerged winners and adopted beneficiaries in these categories.

Out of the three candidates in the severe category, Funmilayo Olufa, a civil servant emerged the winner of the Smile Makeover Prize in the severe category while Omobola Abodurin, a Digital Brand Strategist was adopted as a beneficiary in the severe category. In the Moderate Category, Rotimi Faleye, an Entrepreneur clinched the winner status while Ibiene George, a Commissioner Officer with an Abuja-based NGO  and Chukwudumebi Olannye, a Student of Babcock University were adopted. The third category termed as the Mild cases had Jesse Ekwuruibe, a Military Personnel emerged as the winner while Isaac Brown, a Student of the National Open University, Lagos and Madonna Oguejifor, current NYSC member were adopted.

In a state of euphoria, Funmilayo Olufa thanked the organizers of Project Smile and eulogized the initiative. "I had a fatal auto crash in May 2006 lost a lot of teeth and sustained a deformed gum. I was in the hospital for over a month. The accident drastically changed my facial appearance and made me lose so much confidence in myself. I have not been able to openly laugh without covering my mouth. All these years, I have almost become a recluse because of my dental deformity. When I got wind of Project Smile, I decided to give it a try and I entered for the contest. I was hopeful I would be selected but wasn't very sure when I saw other candidates. I'm so happy and filled with joy now that I'm going to get my life back." She expressed.

Nigerian man jailed in the UK after he falsely used online photo of a US soldier to dupe 2 women

Posted: 15 Jul 2015 06:16 AM PDT

27 year old Nigerian man, Tosin Olasemo has been sentenced to 4 and a half years in prison by a UK court after he was found guilty of using the photo of a US soldier fighting in Afghanistan to dupe two white women he met on a dating site of £250,000.

Tosin, who lives in Cardiff, UK, set up a profile on match.com using the photo of an unidentified US soldier in uniform, to trick his victims into believing he was serving in Afghanistan. He called himself Captain Morgan Travis to his first victim, and Michael Travis to his second victim and claimed to be based at Camp Joyce but he was actually living in Moira Street in the Adamsdown area of Cardiff.

During online conversations with his first victim, 47-year-old widow Tine Jorgensen, Tosin could see her via her webcam but he refused to show his own face, saying he was not allowed to show his own face because of security issues in Afghanistan, an explanation which looked genuine and acceptable.

Tosin then demanded various sums of money from Ms Jorgensen, including money for administration fees and other costs to facilitate his leave so he could come see her. Tosin, while using his real account name and photo, later contacted Ms Jorgensen to claim Morgan Travis had been arrested, persuading her to hand over almost £212,000 more to try and secure his release.

Speaking on his demand for money, prosecutor Ruth Smith said:
"They were designed to play on her emotional feelings for Morgan Travis, saying if the money wasn't paid he would spend one and a half years in detention."
However, police in Denmark soon informed her she had been a victim of a crime. The prosecutor said that confronted with this news by Ms Jorgensen, Tosin then claimed to be living in Lagos, Nigeria and had borrowed money from militants in Nigeria whom he could not now repay.
"Unfortunately Ms Jorgensen still felt an attachment to the defendant and believed his explanation. But her suspicions grew and she eventually reported him to South Wales Police, who arrested him in Adamsdown on January 28 this year."the prosecutor said
Officers recovered a number of false documents, including Nigerian identity cards and drivers licences under various names at his home in Cardiff. The prosecutor continued
"The defendant tried to damage his laptop computer by throwing it on the floor and stamping on it, but was prevented from doing so by police officers at the premises. The defendant had numerous documents on (his) equipment referring to how to speak to women and gain their confidence.".
On his second victim, Polish divorcee Joanna Kosz-Strusiewicz, he initially persuaded her to part with £1,100.
"He continued to make demands for money from her and she decided to make investigations of her own. She found information which led to her believing she had been cheated and wrote to the defendant."
Tosin pleaded guilty to four counts of fraud, four counts of possession of false identity documents, three counts of possession of articles for use in fraud and a single count of acquiring criminal property. He was sentenced to 4 and a half years in jail today July 15th.

The court also added that Tosin whose UK visa will soon expire may be deported. 

'We’ve jammed Radio Biafra transmission signals' - FG

Posted: 15 Jul 2015 05:45 AM PDT

According to a report by Vanguard, FG confirmed yesterday that they have succeeded in jamming the transmission signals of Radio Biafra, which they say have been operating illegally from an unknown location. Permanent Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Information, Yemi Folasade-Esan, told State House correspondents
"Right now, the signals from Radio Biafra have been jammed. The National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) has successfully jammed that. The NBC is also working with security operatives to get those behind that radio because it is an illegal radio. It is not licensed by anybody to be on Nigeria's airwaves."
