'I am skinny, and so what?' LIB reader writes, shares his photos

Posted: 09 Jul 2015 12:49 PM PDT

I'm totally fed up of people telling me how tall but thin I appear. Yes I'm skinny, and so what???
* Does it means I do not have blood flowing in my veins?
* Does it means I can not become someone great?
* Does it means I do not have a future?
* Does it means I do not go the same school the masculine went?
* Does it means I'm fragile?
* Does it means I can't make a good relationship partner? 

These are among the 1001 questions running through my mind.
The Nigeria society today hasn't been fair enough to the skinny when it comes to selection of a right person for a particular job. Is it our fault that God created us to look this form or is  it our fault that the likes of Xaxtin injections, Epo Eja, wate-on and countless numbers of multivitamins has refused to function in our blood cell?

I recall a scene during the last NIS recruitment day when a commandant held my hand and said to me * I am not sure if you can do this job * I looked into his eyes with so much fierce and that spoke it all, as he left hurriedly. For God sake! Been skinny  doesn't mean we do not have power to work or the strength to get involve in some activities the able-bodied are into.

The height of this discrimination is when a lady look into your eyes and tell you * its true that I love your moral, and sense of belonging but, I can not date you cos you're thin* well, one word for you all who say this f**k you b***h you were never meant to be part of my storylines. What good is it when you date a built-bodied and he turns out to using you as punch bags and not Been the faithful type in your relationship?

What use is a built body with an empty brain?
To all my skinny brothers and friends all around the world, we are awesomely made by God and the discrimination of this so called world shouldn't be a distractions to us. To be skinny isn't our choice but God's. If you are thinking less of yourselves cos you're skinny, then I will like to remind of some who are skinny but holds some strong positions  in Nigeria today. Ribadu is One, Malam El-rufai is another, even Alhaji Mohammed Buhari our today president is skinny too, and so what??

Be happy and bold for whom God has made you to be.

Collapsed building: T.B Joshua launches attack on coroners verdict

Posted: 09 Jul 2015 09:39 AM PDT

Article written by freelance Synagogue Church reporter, Ihechukwu Njoku. Read below...
Nigerian Prophet T.B. Joshua has launched a scathing attack against the verdict of the coroner's court in Lagos yesterday which ruled the tragic collapse of a building within his church last year was due to structural failure.
"The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations rejects the verdict of the coroner on the grounds that it is unreasonable, one-sided and biased," a statement released via their official Facebook page read, attributed to Barr. Olalekan Ojo, lead counsel to The SCOAN.

"The church maintains its stand that the incident was as a result of sabotage," the statement continued, further adding that the public should not be misled by media reports casting sensational headlines suggesting the church was liable for prosecution over 'criminal negligence'.

The statement highlighted that no evidence was found that The SCOAN hired incompetent professionals or used substandard materials in the construction of the building.

"There was no finding that connected the incident with the lack of a building permit," the statement proceeded, adding that the process of procuring the necessary approval was well underway and had been assessed and accepted by relevant government agencies before the incident.

"The church disagrees most vehemently with the finding that the incident was due to structural failure," continued the strongly worded statement, insisting the verdict failed to consider substantial evidence which pointed to sabotage and ruled out structural failure.

"It was a one-sided verdict which left many issues unaddressed and questions unanswered." The SCOAN highlighted that the verdict failed to even recognise the CCTV footage released by the church which showed "the 6-storey building falling in less than 4 seconds – a manner consistent with controlled or externally induced demolition".

It concluded by stating that Chief Magistrate Oyetade Komolafe's admission "that the conduct of the investigation of the incident was compromised... calls into question the integrity and reliability of the entire investigation." Joshua's supporters were vocal in their support of the 'prophet' in the thousands of comments posted beneath the statement, many insisting the verdict was the work of 'the devil'.

"If you bury a lie, it will rot. If you bury the truth, it will rise," wrote Opeyemi Oduwole. "We South Africans know what happened to the building; we know the truth. No matter how they lie, the truth will prevail," added Bridget Mkhonto.

Joshua followed up on the statement by posting a video on Facebook highlighting the differences between controlled demolition and structural failure with the caption, "No matter how fast a lie runs, the truth will someday overtake it."

Explosion as Court nullifies election of 22 LGA Chairmen in Rivers

Posted: 09 Jul 2015 09:20 AM PDT

There was an explosion this morning at the Federal High court sitting in Rivers state as Justice Lambo Akanbi nullified the election of 22 local government areas conducted by the Rotimi Amaechi administration on May 23rd. In the said election, APC won all the seats while PDP members boycotted the election after complaining of electoral fraud by members of the APC.

Justice Lambo Akanbi in his ruling stated that the decision of the former governor, Chibuike Amaechi's administration to go ahead with the council election on May 23 inspite of a court order asking all parties to maintain status quo, was a flagrant abuse of court process and disregard for the rule of law. He afterwards nullified the elections of the 22 Local government chairmen.

Abuja Court grants Ohakim N270m bail for N270m fraud

Posted: 09 Jul 2015 09:13 AM PDT

Justice Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High Court in Abuja has granted former Imo state governor, Ikedi Ohakim bail of N270 million in a N270 million fraud case which he is standing trial for. The former governor was arraigned over a N270 million fraud he allegedly committed in 2008 while he was governor.  


While delivering his judgement, the judge ordered EFCC officials to seize the former governor's passport and other travel documents and deposit it at the office of the Deputy Chief Registrar of the court until his bail conditions are met. Justice Adeniyi however did not state where the accused will be remanded. 

Ohakim is standing trial for a three count charge of fraud which includes buying a property in Asokoro, Abuja for $2.29m and concealing the ownership of the property. He allegedly connived with Tweenex Consociates H.D. Ltd. ‎to portray him as a tenant in the property.
One of the three count charges against him read,
"That you, Ikedi Ohakim, on or about January 26, 2013 in Abuja within the jurisdiction of the Federal High Court, while under arrest for an offence under the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission Establishment Act, 2004 knowingly failed to make a full disclosure of your assets by not declaring your ownership of the property known and described as Plot No. 1098 Cadastral Zone A04, Asokoro District- it is also known as No.60, Kwame Nkurumah Street, Asokoro, Abuja and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 27(3)(c) of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission Establishment Act, 2004 and punishable under the same section.".

Posted: 09 Jul 2015 09:08 AM PDT

In her coming out interview, Caitlyn Jenner said she's straight and will have no interest in men when she becomes a man. But what do you call being 'interested' in a transgender - who used to be a man? There are reports that Caitlyn likes Candis Cayne, 44, a well-known transgender entertainer and actress based in New York! The two have been spending a lot of time together and there are claims Caitlyn 'opened up her heart' to Candis and has fallen for her!
"Caitlyn and Candis had amazing chemistry. After her monumental life change, Caitlyn's ready to open up her heart again and really, how could you ask for a more perfect fit as a romantic partner than Candis? She's been basically through the same struggles and confusion, so she'd be the perfect person for Caitlyn to lean on as she continues her journey of transition. Candis is smart, funny, talented and drop-dead sexy. I wouldn't blame Caitlyn one bit if she fell for her." an insider tells Star

R. Kelly sued by his older brother for not paying his salary

Posted: 09 Jul 2015 08:30 AM PDT

According to TMZ  R. Kelly's brother Bruce Kelly is suing him because he hasn't been paid in over 3 months. Read report below...
"R Kelly worked his brother to the bone -- 144 hours/week according to Bruce Kelly ... who says he never got a dime, so now he's blowing the whistle on the singer with the State of Illinois. Bruce says his younger bro hired him in March as a personal assistant and driver, and they had a verbal agreement -- for $700 a week, Bruce would do food runs and chauffeur R. Kelly. But the brotherly love faded after Bruce started working overtime without seeing any green.
According to docs filed with the state labor board, Bruce says he sometimes had to wait up to 12 hours in the car for R. Kelly … and never got any sleep.
He tells us he even spoke to R. Kelly about the $11k in back pay he claims he was owed ... but baby bro didn't care. Bruce says he put his foot down after 3 months because he's "not working for nobody, not even his brother, for free."
The labor board is still investigating his claim. We reached out to R. Kelly's reps, but no one's gotten back to us.
Fun Fact: This isn't the first brother R. Kelly has thrown under the bus. Back in 2008 R Kelly claimed it was his brother Carey, not him, in a video having sex with an underage girl

Steph Rocks TV is back with a Twist - putting a new spin on reality television!

Posted: 09 Jul 2015 06:11 AM PDT

Popular MTV Base presenter and actress, Stephanie Coker, debuts her must-see Web series "Steph Rocks TV" with sponsorship from Nigeria's leading financial institution, First Bank Plc. Shortly after the premiere of the pilot, which received over 3,000 views in its first week, Coker decided to pitch her online series to a group of investors who could help her bring the show to life. 



Steph Rocks TV is an interactive online show developed by November 28 Productions that caters to current and prospective returnees who want to experience life on the African continent. The UK-bred presenter relocated to her home country in 2011 and was introduced to a new world of entertainment and adventure in the budding metropolitan city of Lagos. Season 1 of the online series covers everything from entertainment news to social media trends, music, fashion and lifestyle tips delivered to audiences in Coker's quirky, unfiltered demure infusing sass into reality television.

"In an era of countless blogs, vlogs and reality TV shows, young people have all kinds of viewing choices but 8 out of 10 times, the content they consume is mindless entertainment. I wanted to create a web series that will entertain and educate Teens, Tweens, College Students & Young Professionals who want to know more about Africa" says Coker. "I wanted to create content for a target demographic (Gen Y & Millenials) that watches more and reads less.
On this episode, we highlight the never-ending argument on accents, showcase two of Nigeria's budding fashion houses, run through the top 5 chart topping hits and take you down the iconic Ikoyi-Lekki bridge in "#D.D.S (Double Dare Steph)", a segment where viewers suggest outrageous dares across multiple social media platforms.
