One of the domestic staff members of Prof. Wole Soyinka has confirmed that herdsmen brought their cattle to graze at the surroundings of the Nobel laureate’s residence in Ilugun Village, Abeokuta.
The domestic worker, who refused to give his name, disclosed this to journalists on Friday at the residence of the playwright, located in a serene forest far away from Ilugun village and Kemta Estate.
He said the herdsmen had on Saturday, April 15, 2017, come with their cattle to graze at the frontage of Soyinka’s house.
He said that was the second time they would come with their cattle to graze around the residence.
He said the Nobel laureate was the first to discover the footmarks of the cattle at the stream area, when the herdsmen came the first time.
But during their second coming on Saturday, April 15, the domestic staff added that they had to chase the herdsmen away.
He said, “Yes, it is true that the herdsmen have invaded this place (residence) twice. The last time they came was on Saturday, April 15.
“They came directly to graze around the house and we had to chase them away.
“Nobody saw them the first time they came, it was after they had gone that, Prof. (Soyinka) saw the footprints of the cattle and drew our (Domestic staff) attention to that.
“But when they came the second time, they met us and we chased them away and since then, we have not seen them again.”
However, the Ogun Police Command said the case of the invasion of the Nobel laureate’s home had not been reported to them.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said, “I have called the Divisional Police Officer, Kemta Police Station, and he told me there was no such report made at the station.”
The invasion was made public by the 82-year-old scholar on Friday while speaking at a forum in Freedom Park, Lagos.
“We are living in dangerous times. My home is under invasion… From Imeko to Abeokuta is under invasion by herdsmen,” TheCable.ng quoted Soyinka as saying.
“This is a deliberate act of provocation. The trespasses have been frequent, we have reported to the police, but government is taking security lightly.
“We need to wake up the government, let them know the seriousness of the issue on ground; these herdsmen are worse than Boko Haram.”

Akolade Arowolo, a youth pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, who killed his banker wife, Titilayo, with 73 other inmates of the Kirikiri Maximum Prisons, yesterday, sought pardon under the Lagos State Prerogative on Mercy conferred on the Governor, claiming they are reformed and should be pardoned.
.
Akolade, who was sentenced to death by an Ikeja high court three years ago after he was found guilty of his wife’s murder on June 24, 2011, was seen in prison, pleading that he needs another chance to right his wrongs. .
.
His pleading came as the Committee on Prerogative on Mercy said that the state will not fail to exercise its prerogative on prisoners, who proved to be reformed. Arowolo was among 74 prisoners called out by the committee, led by Professor Oyelowo Oyewo, set up by the governor to review their applications. .
.
The committee was on a fact-finding visit to the prisons to have first hand information from the inmates that are eligible for mercy and pardon. .
.
Arowolo, who delivered a remark on behalf of his fellow inmates, pleaded for mercy, stressing that they are all remorseful and have learned from their mistakes. .

Chairman of the committee, Oyelowo, said the governor will act on the committee’s recommendations based on the rules and guidelines set by law for the committee to conduct its work.
A beautiful lady has been left confused and in tears after sleeping with a man who promised to give her a job or money for business, only to discover he had deceived her.

According to H-metro, Noah Manyika is reported to have threatened the lady identified as Junior Takuranarwo with arrest saying he is connected to high profile people, this was after the 'act',
Recalling what happened, she said, “Noah approached me 2 weeks ago and we became friends, he promised giving me money to start my own business since I am working under someone.
“He never showed that he was after falling in love with me and he took me out for drinks and discuss business issues.
“Noah looked a gentleman who wanted to help me yet he was after abusing me and to be honest I had to look for a traditional healer for treatment after he made me have unprotected s*x.
The 24yrs old Zimbabwean lady said she left him because he's "connected" and failed to help her.
Following rumours last week that Olayode Juliana aka 'Toyosi' had a beef with actress, Funke Akindele-Bello, the actress has come out to address the story.
Olayode Juliana and Funke Akindele-Bello
Nigerian actress, Olayode Juliana aka 'Toyosi' has denied reports stating that she had a rift with Funke Akindele-Bello of the popular Jenifa Diaries.

Toyosi wrote:
"Hey Fam! I apologize for responding late to the LIB post.
Please DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING you read on tabloids.
Several people have criticized me and some insulted me on something they know NOTHING about.
I didn't and would never unfollow Aunty Funke @funkejenifaakindele.
Please read all my interviews, I hold her in high esteem and she's dear to my heart. My career profile is not complete without her.
Characters come and go in series. Even if you're not seeing Toyo Baby presently, SOP never said she's not coming back.
I hold nothing against those who have spread lies about me.
God bless you.
Juliana loves you all!"
The level of fakery in the Nigerian entertainment industry has been upped with another condescending act by another Nigerian celebrity in a failed bid to impress the general public.
Kcee
Limpopo crooner, Kcee who is signed to Five Star music record label has been roped in an unbecoming act of Intellectual Property Theft.
The 38-year old showman was nabbed red-handed flaunting a picture of wads of dollar notes stolen from a random American man and giving the false impression that they belonged to him.
Kcee reportedly dug into the man's Instagram account (Vvs_uno) and downloaded a picture of dollar notes which he posted on the 12th of February, 2017.
The singer on Saturday uploaded the picture and he deceitfully captioned it; "No time, God I give you praise. Just for one day. #Desire #mrromantic #romanticcalls" only for the original owner to sound a strong note of warning to him.
How the drama played out on Instagram
Kcee appears to have gone into hiding with his tail inbetween his legs as he is yet to respond to the stinking allegation levelled against him.
The news of the social media theft has gone viral with several fans lambasting Kcee for trying to oppress his followers with his imaginative wealth. Kcee is not new to controversies as he has also been accused of photoshopping his images to position himself at exotic places around the world.
This is a new low among Nigerian celebrities this year as another actress, Oge Okoye earlier this year, 2017 stole the picture of a dog owned by an American reality star, Kenya Moore and claimed it to be hers, but was disgracefully exposed.
Serena Williams, the professional tennis player broke the internet last week after she revealed she was 20 weeks pregnant with a photo she posted on her Snapchat, has shared an open letter to her unborn baby.

But most importantly, I am so happy to share being number one in the world with you.... once again today. On @alexisohanian bday. 😉 from the world's oldest number one to the world's youngest number one. -Your Mommy"
Nollywood Actress, Mercy Johnson is known for one thing… “Her realness”… Perhaps, she’s competing with Big Brother Naija winner, Efe?
The actress, surprised her fans on stage at the recently just concluded Glo Mega tour in Owerri. She completely removed her wig to the amusement of her fans.
Mercy and Juliet Ibrahim were in some kind of Competition, and she asked the audience who won.. They all clamoured for Juliet Ibrahim… and then she pulled off her wig.
Juliet had to came on stage to put her weave back on her head. Lol
The video:
Multiple award-winning Nigerian singer, Tiwa Savage, has said that the desire for glamour and appeal is the reason entertainers cannot stop being sexual in their performances.
She said this while addressing some pressing issues in the Nigerian music industry as a guest on an entertainment show hosted by Arise Television.
According to her, entertainers cannot be stopped from adapting sexual scenes in their stage-craft but can be regulated through appropriate guidelines provided by a competent body or authority.
She, however, disclosed that contemporary musicians were misunderstood in a similar way the late Afrobeat King, Fela’s dancers were misunderstood because of their sexual displays on stage.
Savage said: “There is no way a movie and entertainment will not have sexual scenes. You cannot stop an artiste from being sexual in entertainment
“The only thing we can do as Africans is to provide guidelines.
“When I performed initially in Nigeria, they screamed that it was too much; that it was too sexual. We are still fighting the same battle the Fela girls fought.
“Fela’s girls were misunderstood. What they did on stage was just entertainment.
“What they do on stage doesn’t mean that they are loose off stage. People say Fela is godfather but people forget the women that added glamour to Fela’s show.”
American moneybag, Bill Gates has granted an interview about the strict way he raised his children and limited their access to economic resources.
Bill Gates and his family
Microsoft founder Bill Gates, the world’s richest man, says that he did not permit his children to own a mobile phone until they turned 14.
Gates made the revelation during an interview on Thursday with the British newspaper, The Mirror.
Not only does Gates force his kids to wait until age 14 to get a smartphone, but he also limits the amount of time they could use them before going to bed. Smartphones are also banned from the dinner table.
"We often set a time after which there is no screen time and in their case that helps them get to sleep at a reasonable hour,’ he told The Mirror. Gates and his wife, Melinda, are parents to Jennifer, 20; Rory, 17; and Phoebe, 14.
Despite the irony of Gates playing a pivotal role in the technological revolution of the digital age, he still thinks limits need to be in place for children.
"You’re always looking at how it can be used in a great way – homework and staying in touch with friends – and also where it has gotten to excess,’ he said of smartphones and social media.
‘We don’t have cellphones at the table when we are having a meal, we didn’t give our kids cellphones until they were 14 and they complained other kids got them earlier.’
The Mirror reports that during its interview with Gates, he was wearing a Casio watch worth $10.
Kemen is still speaking on what transpired between him and TBoss in the Big Brother Naija House. This time around, he spoke to Sunday Scoop and explained in details what actually went down under the sheets.
He said:
“I believe that Nigerians are very brilliant people and I’ve decided to care less about what is said on social media. The truth lies with me and Tboss. I want Nigerians to realise that the organisers know more than they do.
We are in a country where people have the freedom to express themselves and we’re all entitled to our opinions. Some people might see something as right while some other people might view the same thing as wrong, so it has been a battle of words.
“On that night, I slept before Tboss and I used the duvet that was on the bed to cover myself. When Tboss came to bed, she used the other duvet. When I wanted to go back to sleep, I attempted to cuddle her. In the course of doing that, I had to lift the duvet that was between us.
My hand movement that was seen on camera was me trying to make way through the duvet and get close to her. She woke up immediately I wrapped my hands around her; opened the duvet and adjusted her body so she could move closer to me. And that was where the video stopped.
Tboss always slept in a three-quarter short and a spaghetti top which she used as a nightgown. She is not a deep sleeper. She also has the highest stack of alcohol in her cupboard because she rarely drinks. On the night of the incident, I was not drunk, and I don’t think she was too, even though I cannot speak for her.”
However, I have chosen to move on from all that and focus on the positive gains of the game. I have put everything that happened behind me.”
Speaking on his relationship with Tboss, he said,
“Tboss is a great person and I would want to keep her as a friend. I don’t have any grudges against her and I don’t think I ever will. You have to bear in mind that the situation not only affected me, it also affected Tboss negatively too so we are both in this together. Having a bad feeling towards her would be totally out of place.”
On his motive for going into the house, Kemen said,
“I went into the house with the intention to sell my brand and have the platform to do the things I’ve always wanted to do. It was very educative. I plan to explore the opportunity of the platform. I am a strong and focused person. I’m extremely creative and I was able to show that while I was in the house. Nigerians are also going to see more of what I can do in a very short while. I will devote time to my fitness and entrepreneurial activities.”
I never knew this wow!

6. James
The leader of the church in Jerusalem , was thrown over a hundred feet down from the southeast pinnacle of the Temple when he refused to deny his faith in Christ. When they discovered that he survived the fall, his
enemies beat James to death with a fuller's club.
* This was the same pinnacle where Satan had taken Jesus during the Temptation.
7. James the Son of Zebedee,

Perhaps this is a reminder to us that our sufferings here are indeed minor compared to the intense persecution and cold cruelty faced by the apostles and disciples during their times For the sake of the Faith. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: But he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
Pass on to encourage other Christians
Why Do we feel sleepy in Prayer,
But stay awake through a 3 hour movie?
Why are we so bored when we look at the HOLY BOOK,
But find it easy to read other books?
Why is it so easy to ignore a msg about God,
Yet we forward the nasty ones?
Why are Prayers getting smaller,
But bars and clubs are expanding
Why is it so easy to worship a celebrity,
But very difficult to engage with God?
Think about it, are you going to forward this?
Are you going to ignore it, cause you think you will get laughed at?
Forward this to all your friends.
80% of you won't forward this.
God said: If you deny me in front of your friends, I will deny you on the day of judgment:
When one door closes, God opens two.
Ghanaian Actor, Chris Attoh has declared he’s not bothered about the numerous online report that suggests his marriage to Nigerian actress, Damilola Adegbite has crashed.
According to him, he was not perturbed about of the reports because his home is still intact. Myjoyonline reports.
Recall, in March this year, there were reports that Damilola had walked out of the marriage.
The divorce reports gained currency after Chris posted several photos of his wife on social media, wishing her a happy second wedding anniversary on February 14, but Damilola failed to respond or do same.
But putting to rest the numerous reports, Chris, in an interview with KMJ on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM said his wife “is wonderful,” and “she is currently in London. She just launched her Alpha Woman project,” which helps to empower women.
Asked about the numerous divorce reports, the ‘Shuga’ star noted that, “I don’t hear them, I don’t read them. I’m too focused, I can’t be too bothered with all these… what is important is in front of me.”
While many felt Damilola’s failure to comment on his wedding anniversary post on Instagram meant the marriage had hit the rocks, Chris noted, he got a perfect response from his wife.
“I got my response. The response doesn’t have to be on Instagram. I remember speaking to her that evening…” because I was in South Africa then, he stated.
He observed that their busy schedules do keep them apart but that hasn’t affected their marriage.
“Because of what we do we try to have time for each other as often as we can. It’s tough because sometimes I might be away for two, three months but that’s usually the interval. When she can come, she comes, when I can go, I go…”
In the awake of the divorce reports, it was rumoured that Chris’ family, particularly his sisters, were not in support of the marriage to the Nollywood actress but he refuted the reports quizzing “why will there be anything like that?”
