Banky W blasts fan for criticizing Tiwa Savage's Dubai wedding

Bride-to be, Tiwa Savage has arrived Dubai for her fairytale white wedding which holds this Saturday! We hear Banky W is the best man....nicey.
So, a few hours ago,  Banky W posted Tiwa and Tbillz' pre-wedding party flier on his instagram page and of course so many fans responded happily but a particular fan @afrikaetal decided to criticize the couple for choosing Dubai.
“Why Dubai all the time. Use the powerful platform you have to promote your home country instead of the hypocrisy of always running to other Countries. If you all invest the money into small businesses in Nigeria or Africa at large, we too will have others running to us # proudly African #” he wrote, check out Banky W's candid response below: 

“Such comments irritate me. We use the platforms we have to promote Nigeria all the time. We invest our money in Nigeria, You don’t know the number of kids we put through school with scholarships, the number of health care bills we pay for people…you don’t know the number of Nigerian companies we bank roll and float or the number of ideas we invest. It’s hard enough finding happiness in this world…
Two people should be able to celebrate it any way they fell like it!!! PLUS They already did their traditional wedding in Nigeria, they should be free to do whatever or go wherever they want for the white wedding. It;s THEIR wedding. Not a country’s…not a state’s…not mine…and certainly not yours. Leave them be. People all over the world get married, go on vacations or honeymoons, wherever they feel like it all over the world. Our ppl (people) should be allowed to do the same without being branded hypocrites. You and the high horse you rode in on should have several seats.
My goodness.” he stated.
Who agrees with him?

The Minister of State for Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, while speaking on Channels TV's Sunrise Daily programme today, said he earns only N2million a year

"My annual salary is N2million, everything put together plus my allowances is N4million" he said.

The Minister also addressed the issue of the inaccurate information the military passed out about rescuing 103 girls last Wednesday, April 16. He said the communication system up north has been adversely affected since the insurgence started and that there must have been a mixup somewhere along the communication line. The Minister said instead of the public condemning the military, they should commend them for apologizing and retracting the misguiding information.

Deeper Life Secretary explains why Kumuyi ‘broke down’ during Easter Retreat

More revelations have emerged over the recent failing health of the General superintendent of Deeper Life Bible Church, Pastor William Folorunsho Kumuyi during the just concluded national Easter Retreat of the church.
According to Dailypost , the former university don broke down during the retreat and was forced to rest on Saturday after losing his voice the previous day.
Explaining why the preacher broke down, the church secretary, Pastor Jerry Asemota while addressing the congregation Saturday morning said the sudden health failure of the pastor was not unconnected to his recent marathon engagements across the continent.

According to Asemota, “With much pleading, we had to convince our pastor to rest. You could recall that lately, he was engaged in series of rival meetings across the continent. Only recently, he was in Abuja, Taraba, Bayelsa, Imo, Edo, Akure and Ibadan. He was also in Ghana, Namabia and Togo and other West African countries. 
He’s human and needs to rest, so we enjoined you all to pray for God’s strength upon his life and bear with us at this time. He is not going on holiday but he needs serious rest. I am very sure that before the programmes end, your Pastor will bounce back to complete what he had started” Asemota assured.
Kumuyi who eventually bounced back during the last day of the retreat did not make any reference to his health condition during his ministrations.
However, he was seen very agile and vibrant during the last day of the power-packed programme.
The soft-spoken preacher in his last sermon entitled “Reigning Through the Victory of Jesus” said, once you have the vision with Jesus Christ, you can achieve anything.
Speaking from the book of Luke 6:19, Kumuyi said in these perilous times, one needs to make Christ his focus. According to him, holiness is important as without it, no man can see God.

The preacher testified of a recent miracle that happened during his last programme in Bayelsa State.
According to him, after the programme, he went to the office of the state overseer for a meeting and in the process some persons brought three men on wheelchairs and dropped them behind his car.
“When I saw them, I told them in name of Jesus rise up and walk and I entered my car of drove off.
“Before we could reach the government house where we lodged, we received a call from them that they have started walking. That shows what God can do when you focus on him,” he told his congregation.

Nothing interesting about being married except that it saves you money' - 2Shotz

Talking about what marriage has taught him in a recent interview with Punch, rapper 2shotz, who got married exactly one year ago, said there's really nothing interesting about married life except for companionship and the money it saves you...

"I have learnt a lot of things they just never tell you. There is no interesting thing about being married except for the companionship and it saves you some money. You no longer have to eat out and you don’t have to spend money on a couple of girls. Now, it’s just your wife. It also prevents you from doing some things that are either promiscuous or unnecessary".

His wife Precious also explained how they met on Twitter. People are really finding love on social media. Continue to read what she said...


Precious: I met him on Twitter. I can’t remember who followed who first, but I remember he put up a picture of his apartment and I commented without knowing who he was.  He thanked me and we got talking. We moved the conversation from Twitter to phone, then to Skype. I was in Ireland, came to Nigeria for Christmas and we met in person.

How would you describe being married? 

Precious: It has been good and different because you have this person who is always telling you what to do. It took me time to get used to having to submit wholly .In Ireland, I started making my own money at age 16 and by the time I was 18, I had my own apartment. I had become used to being independent.

Is there anything you would like to change about each other?

2shotz: Her mouth. You know how women talk, they are never satisfied.

Precious: That I don’t like certain things about him does not mean I can’t live with it. But I will like him to be less stubborn. He is an Igbo man who is deeply rooted in the Igbo culture which makes him think in a certain way. At times, he is not willing to bend the rules just to make it happen. I am just learning the values and tradition of my people.

Cool FM's Freeze wades into P-Square breakup, advises Lola Omotayo

So far, one thing we can deduce for sure in the ongoing P square war is the fact that family members are angry with Peter Okoye for marrying Lola and for always letting Lola dictate to him....thus they treat her with disrespect.

Of course, no real man will watch and let anyone disrespect his wife....so Peter took the bull by the horn and began demanding that his family members treated his wife aright. 

This coupled with several other issues led to the Psquare qar.

 

The truth is, Peter has every right to defend his wife cos she stood up for him and stood with him when he was a nobody - one of the many things she did for Peter was revealed (here) in an exclusive interview withGenevieve magazine several months ago. 

He even went as far as admitting that he wasn't ashamed the first time she visited him (HERE).

Anyway, Cool Fm's OAP, Daddy Freeze has called on all Nigerians to pray for them from 8am today. He also wrote an open plea to them on twitter and further shared some words of advise for Lola below:

What really happened on the Wednesday Peter and Paul Okoye (Psquare) fought + Psquare's mum already envisioned this!

 
Okay, here's a quick update on the ongoing Psquare saga and it's according to Laila this time.

See how she reports it below:

"The supposed fight between Paul and Peter Okoye was actually started by their Personal Assistants (PAs).  Jude's PA, Wande, had given money to Peter's PA to get his car registered but Peter's PA, Shege, instead of spending the money on what he was asked to use it for, allegedly spent it on something else.

This is a guy that reportedly, when Psquare's mum was still alive had also 'eaten' the money given to him to purchase a car for P square's mum.


So, Jude's PA was reportedly really angry when he found out his money was gone and the car wasn't registered. So, he stormed Squareville to confront Peter's PA. Along the line, they got into a heated argument and a fight broke out between the two of them.

Like real, serious, bloody fight. Things were so heated up that Peter allegedly came in, joined the fight and was about to hit Jude's PA with a pen when Paul reportedly jumped in, held his twin brother's hand to stop him.

In that rage, Peter allegedly swung his free hand and landed Paul a big blow that made him fall to the ground. I was told Paul didn't fight Peter back. Rather, their elder brother Tony allegedly pounced on Peter and started beating him. Anita, Paul Okoye's wife, witnessed this incident. I was told Peter wants to be incharge of their funds or get more money allegedly due to pressure from his wife. Jude has always been in charge and Paul wants it to stay that way. Then that the lawyer brought in to split their property came, no one agreed that this is yours, this one is mine, so the lawyer says he can't continue. At least for now. 

Lola never visits Square ville cos she allegedly sees the family members as enemies, unlike Anita who freely visits regularly. Plenty other personal details. Some of you already have heard about Psquare's mum telling her sons that she sees them splitting if Peter weds Lola cos she reportedly saw in a dream where Peter was pursuing Paul with a fork to kill him. So much stuff, but let's leave it here for now. And pray for the family to get through this. "

Oh well! 

Pastor Kumuyi collapses inside Deeper Life Camp

The General Superintendent of the Deeper Life church, Pastor W.F Kumuyi allegedly collapsed during the Easter retreat on Saturday.  

He has since been rushed out of the camp and  is now responding to treatment at the undisclosed hospital he was rushed to.

“We were told to pray for his strength, which we have been doing, but he didn’t minister throughout yesterday, a development which has sent every member panicking.”

A dependable source in the church told Daily Post exclusively. He said there’s tension in the camp over the health of Kumuyi who broke down during the programme entitled: ‘Living in His Victory and Destined to Win.’
It was gathered that when it's his turn to Minister, they may rebroadcast his old message to the congregation.

DOYIN OKUPE RETRACTS MONUMENTAL BLUNDER!

Mr Doyin Okupe, needs no further intro, Doyin issued a retract on the abducted girls blunder and claimed the apology was personal and has nothing to do with the Federal Government! Yeah rite!! What a dumb statement from a hitherto respected intellectual, are you working for Oshodi Isolo local government??? Please spare us the rigmarole, fumble na fumble sikena!

Mr Doyin Okupe, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, yesterday took full responsibility for the misinformation on the 100+ abducted Government Girls Secondary students who were taken from their hostel on Monday 14th in Chibok, Borno state by Boko Haram men. He had issued a statement saying the military had released the girls. It was later found to be false. The girls are still missing.
