A Hairdresser Commits Suicide By Drinking Insecticide "Sniper" Over Debt Of N150,000

A Stylist in the Somolu, Lagos State, identified as Yetunde Oladipupo, also known as Iyabo, has committed suicide. Oladipupo died when she took an insecticide called sniper shortly after seeing off some friends who had visited her.

Although the cause of her friend’s visit could not be ascertained, it was gathered that the mother of four went to a shop afterwards and bought the insecticide. She was alleged to have taken it and was later rushed to the General Hospital, Gbagada, where she was confirmed dead by doctors. It was gathered that she had taken a loan of about N150,000 from a microfinance bank and the creditor had been pestering her to pay.

A resident, who pleaded anonymity said:

The victim was always depressed because she had no means of repaying the debt. He said, “Iyabo has four children and her husband is based in Abuja. He comes home once in a while. She was a hairdresser and had a small shop where she sold some things.

“She borrowed N150,000 from a microfinance bank. When the pressure became too much for her and she could not pay, she became desperate, drank the insecticide and died.”

Also another resident said two friends had visited her a few minutes before the incident, adding that it was after the visit that she decided to take her life. She said:

“Around 7pm, two friends visited her and she saw them off. As she was returning, she went to a shop opposite her house where they sell provisions. “After picking the insecticide, she asked the shopkeeper for a nylon wrapper, but the shopkeeper declined her request and said she should return the insecticide. She kept it somewhere around her dress and left.

“As she was ascending the stairs to the first floor where she lived, she drank the insecticide. Within seconds, she started feeling uncomfortable and called her five-year-old child to go and get help. She was rolling on the floor and groaning with pain.

“Everybody was alarmed upon seeing the empty container of the insecticide. She was taken to a private hospital on the street, but she was rejected. She was then rushed to the General Hospital, Gbagada, where about five doctors struggled to save her life. She, however, died.”

According to Today.ng, a doctor at the General Hospital confirmed that Iyabo was brought to the hospital around 7pm, adding that she died in the early hours of Saturday.

He said, “The woman was brought to the hospital around 7pm on Friday and her people said she collected a loan which she could not repay. We don’t know the details. Doctors tried to save her life, but she could not make it.”

My Marriage Would Shock Nigerian - Bobrisky

Bobrisky wants Nigerians to listen up - He may have a male bae that takes care of his needs, that doesn't rule out the fact that he's straight and in a coded relationship with his girlfriend who is based in London.

Vanguard had a new revealing interview with him where Bob also explained he's not a practicing Muslim because if he was one, he will have to do ablution five times a day and apply make-up after each ablution and that will be very stressful..

Please read:



There has been many questions about your sexuality. I will like you to tell us in plain words if you are straight?

I am very straight. People fail to understand that I am only using what I have to get what I need. One can use any logic to achieve his dream or put food on one’s table as long as you don’t kill or steal from others. I am into cosmetics and Nigerian ladies love cosmetics a lot. I am only doing something to make myself different from many others who are into this same business of mine just to get people’s attention. And thank God that I have more customers than you can imagine, though I receive many bad comments. There should be a form of evidence before you can call anyone gay. There is a law that frowns at gay marriage but I don’t think there is any law that says a man should be persecuted if he chooses to look like a girl. I am not impersonating, I only chose to have the shade of a girl. I am a guy and many people know I am a guy. I have said this many times even in a live chat that I am straight. I am only doing this to get more attention and customers. Anyway, they can choose to say anything they like.


Some set of people still believe that you had a transgender operation and that is why you look more like a woman? 

I didn’t undergo any transgender operation. I only apply cream on my skin. If I had undergone such operation, I will have breasts. I have been like this from childhood. It is only my look that has changed and that is because of the cream which makes me fairer and my make-ups.


Being a Yoruba man, how are your people taking this, especially your parents?

My family understands my person and they know I would never hide anything away from them. My family are the only people I can trust because you can’t even trust your friends. They are comfortable with me and appreciate me a lot. My family know I am very straight. I am only trying to make money without depending on any of them. And as long as my family believes in me, I do not care.


Are you in a relationship?

I am in a relationship but it’s ‘coded’ . You don’t expect me to tell the world about my relationship. My marriage should be a breaking news. Let people say whatever they like now, I want the news about my marriage to be shocking, that is my dream.


How many of the women folks come to you wanting to date you or be your friend?

Many women come to me, even on Snapchat. Some will even curse me to gain my attention but they don’t get it. This gets them so mad and leave them with no other choice than to think I’m gay. Many women admire me but believe I am gay. Some will even tell me to only sleep with them. I get different comments even from older women.


How much are you into women? 

I am not a womaniser but that does not mean I can’t get down with a woman. One man’s food is another man’s poison. I am not the type who really loves sex or women. It takes a while for me to get into relationships. I went to a boarding school so I have been trained to be indoor. You hardly see me everywhere which makes it difficult to really be into women. I am only popular because God wants me to. I hardly attend parties or grant interviews. I didn’t struggle to be out there. Some habits are peculiar to men like drinking, smoking etc.


Do you exhibit any of these? 

I don’t drink or smoke. I only go clubbing like twice in a year or once in five months.


Tell me five things people don’t know about you? 

I am nice and the sweetest person you can be with. I care about people a lot. I come from a polygamous home. My mum is late. I look like my mum, she was very pretty and I also have a heart like hers. I am a Muslim but love going to church. My parents are Muslims. I love fashion, looking good. When a guy is too fine, people tend to believe he is gay. People wonder how a guy has time to apply cream or make-up. I am a very clean guy. People think I am the female gay and that is where the gay thing came from. I am also God-fearing.


You said you are a Muslim but love going to church, does that imply that you are not a practicing Muslim? 

I am not a practicing Muslim. I started going to church as an undergraduate. My room-mate was one of the executives of the Christian Fellowship. So I got fascinated and usually joined them to pray. I know prayer works and do that daily. If I have to be a practicing Muslim, I will have to do ablution five times a day and apply make-up after each ablution and that will be very stressful.


Do you have a Christian name? 

My Muslim name is Idris. I don’t really have a Christian name. But I use ‘’Olanrewaju’’ as cover. By this, people will not know if I am a Christian or a Muslim.


How did your dad react to this? 

I love my dad so much. He didn’t and will never force a particular religion on any of his children. He will only advise us to be close to God. My elder sister used to be a Muslim but changed to a Christian after marrying a Christian man. Infact, she is now a pastor in Kaduna.


You are yet to tell me when you intend to settle down?

I am just 25 years and not a woman who is scared of menopause. I still want to enjoy my money. I will be restricted from certain things if I settle down now.

I see marriage as a cage. Imagine, if I am married and now find myself in this present situation, the lady in question will feel insecure. Marriage for me is a big issue.

My girlfriend is in London and she has been calling me to know the situation of things. She sent me a text that almost moved me to tears. I also have many male admirers who want me to be their sexual partners. I get about two to three guys who want to get down with me everyday. I am very fair that people get attracted to me easily. But they don’t see me as a guy. I know I have to be careful in order to achieve my dreams.

11-year-old girl develops excessively big breast

An 11-year-old class five pupil of Roman Catholic primary school, in Sierra Leone, Mamie Sam, has been thrown into sorrow.

This is because her breasts have been growing non-stop since she swam in a river. Calling on the government and other humanitarian organizations for help, she spoke to Awoko how she went on a fishing expedition together with her grand mother and other women in the town. After the exercise she started experiencing her breast becoming large.


While taking her bath together with the elders in the stream one of the women spoke about her breast saying her breast is becoming abnormal and it is not a good thing for her. During the night hour she said her breast scratched throughout the night giving her sleepless night and it’s kept projecting up to the current length as she continue to scratch.


She has had to stop going to school because of shame and bullying from other students. She maintained that her parents have sought medical attention at Nixon Memorial hospital at Segbwema and several herbalists within the community to no avail. According to her, since the start of her trouble she is always at home either crying or sleeping. She described her breast as a big load on her adding she does not know why God put such punishment on her.



Her grand father Saidu Moriba said this is the first time he is seeing such wonder in his life time, and that they are baffled as what to do to save her from this trouble. He revealed that several prayers and sacrifices have been done on her behalf but the problem still remains and they are asking for assistance.

14 years girl public show of shame

I heard this girl is just 14 years and the boy is about 17 years. These things should remind us of the harsh reality of our time.

Pls watch out for your children and please i need to say this, don't give birth to children you can't take care of, children you wont have time for.

Some people have turned child bearing to hobbies, there's this man in my neighborhood, he has about 12 children already and he keep saying he'll still give birth to more children, why he's asked how he's going to take care of them, he'd say "they will bring what they will eat from heaven"

Harrysong Leaves FiveStar Music To Floats His Own Lable + His Account Hacked

On Saturday, November 19, 2016, Harrysong announced floating his own music label

The Reggae Blues singer releases the first single on his label on Monday, November 21, 2016 Share on Facebook

Share on Twitter Harrysong On Saturday, November 19, 2016, Reggae Blues crooner Harrysong announced dumping his former music label, Five Star music label to start his own label. Barely 24 hours after announcing the birth of his music company Alterplate to the public, Harrysong cried out over the hack of his Twitter and Instagram accounts.

According to a statement by a prominent member of his team, Desmond Ike Chima, “Harrysong’s social media accounts have been hacked by some losers who are probably enraged and yet to come to terms with the latest development”.

When Harrysong was asked on the matter, he said efforts are being made by his team to recover the hacked accounts.

He said: “We are confident that the accounts will be restored in no distant time. As for the hackers, I have this shocker, we know who you are and we are coming after you”.

He also assured that Alter Plate has come to stay, in spite of the rumours peddled around. “Alter Plate is a total music company that neither birthed prematurely nor by chance.

It was properly planned and put together by a group of seasoned and dedicated professionals. On the other hand, we put God first in the whole of this movement and at the same time adore talent over money”.

One of his close associates, Desmond Ike Chima  said of his dumping Five Star Music and his contract with the label, He said: “Harrysong’s exit from Five Star may have stirred a massive controversy since Saturday when he publicly announced it on Channels Television programme, but that doesn’t give credence to the rumour making the rounds and that’s all I can say for now”.

Meanwhile, Harrysong has dropped the first single from his label on Monday, November 21 titled Bacana in which he featured Nollywood actor Mike Ezuruonye, Huddah Munroe. As at the time of writing this report, the accounts have become active again.

Controversial Pastor Sprays Insecticide on Church Members to Heal Them

 "Prophet" Lethebo Rabalago from the Mount Zion General Assembly in Limpopo, South Africa, has been pictured using Doom (an insect killer) to heal his followers during a service and prayer meeting over the weekend. Shared via the church and his alleged personal Facebook page, the prophet is seen spraying the chemical directly on their faces and body parts, in order to heal them.

Widow, Falana tackle NSCDC over graduate hawker’s death

The widow of Felix Babalola, a 37-year-old graduate of Accountancy of the University of Lagos, who drowned in the Lagoon while being chased by officials of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, has denied the allegation that her husband was selling stolen petroleum products. Oluwaremilekun, the mother of two told PUNCH Metro that the NSCDC wanted to hide its officials’ misdeeds by putting her husband in a bad light. PUNCH Metro had reported that Babalola graduated from UNILAG in 2009, and started selling recharge cards under the Mecqueen Bridge on the Victoria Island, Lagos State, when he could not secure a job. Babalola was said to have slipped and fallen into the Lagoon while running away from the NSCDC operatives who were hunting peddlers of stolen petroleum products. 

Eyewitnesses had said that the three-man squad, led by one Inspector Oladele Orijah, prevented people from rescuing the victim. Our correspondent also reported that an official pointed a gun at the deceased while he was in the water, threatening to shoot him if he came out. But the NSCDC spokesman, Mr. Mefor Chibuzor, said Babalola was suspected to be a seller of stolen petroleum products, adding that Babalola jumped into the water in a bid to evade arrest. Babalola’s widow on Sunday, however, said there was no truth in the claim. She said, “It is a big lie.

 My husband sold recharge cards to sailors. He never engaged in anything illegal. They are saying this to give my husband a bad name and hide their misdeeds. “The police around that area know him well and they also testified to it that he was not that kind of person.” Younger sister of the deceased, Ajoke, said she worked with the deceased under the bridge for four years. She said, “Did you see where the incident happened? There is no pipeline around that area. We both worked together for more than four years and I know him well. 

They are lying.” The elder sister of the late Babalola, Wunmi, said witnesses were already making statements to the police on the incident, and the truth would come to light. Lagos based human rights lawyer, Mr Femi Falana, said the statement of the NSCDC was self-indicting. He said, “Assuming, without conceding, that he was doing something illegal, the law required that he be brought out and tried. The statement credited to the NSCDC has confirmed that he was allowed to drown, which in itself is an admission of crime. The law does not permit the extra-judicial killing of any suspected criminal. “If he was chased and he fell into the Lagoon and he cried for help because he wanted to live, he was supposed to be helped and brought out to face trial. The criminality of the officials involved is worsened because the people who tried to help him were threatened and chased away

Papa Ayo Oritsejafor: The Spoilt Child Of A Religious Nation BY IMOH DAVID

The story goes like this:

The Nigerian government wanted some cache of weapons in South Africa and so they borrowed Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor's private jet. Probably because the self-acclaimed giant of Africa could not find a befitting aircraft amongst her fleets of military planes to transport the intended weapons for them, not even among the 10 private jets in Presidential fleet. It is Ayo Oritsejafor's private jet that was the best. Maybe it is because his private jet runs on holy engines and is flown by angels.

Meanwhile, Ayo Oritsejafor did not know that the government intended to use his jet to buy weapons. He leased his jet to a 2nd person and the 2nd person leased to the 3rd and then the 3rd to the 4th (who happens to be an agent of the government and an Israeli with 10 million dollars). I get it, the unknown Israeli man told our government that they should rather buy weapons from South-Africa instead of his country, Israel, because it is better for SA to take the money than Israel who supposedly makes better weapons. So generous of the Israeli. So Israelis buy weapons for us. Military experts from our country did not have to follow to inspect the weapons and the inventory. Beautiful!

Also, the South African government was unaware that the Nigerian government was coming to buy weapons in their country. In their shock, they seized the jet and the money. Well, buying arms is more or less like buying noodles. Buying arms is now an Akara and moi-moi trade. It is not a serious thing and so, any government can walk into another country without informing the host country that they intend buying weapons in their country. So, a foreign government can just walk into another country like that, buy weapons and then off they go. And this is how the government of Nigeria have been buying weapons since 1960? Terrific! Shebi na me wan born Nigerian.

The words of Napoleon Bonaparte read: "I am surrounded by priests who repeat incessantly that their kingdom is not of this world, and yet they lay their hands on everything they can get." That was in the 18th century that Napoleon struck such an observation. I wonder what he would have said if he were to be in Nigeria this day and met our pulpitarians who venture from the pulpit to politics and now arms dealing. I do wonder sometimes, who wears more necklaces; Lil Wayne or Rapper Ayo, sorry Papa Ayo?

The unhealthy romance between the pulpitarians and polithiefcians is the result of this national ridicule of arms deal in our face. The private jet of our rap-star priest is used by a functional government to ship arms into the state. Does it mean that our national budget is decided in some priest's bedroom? When some illegality and crime is committed by a priest, the government swiftly jumps into action to claim participation. These days I do not know the difference between PDP and CAN; PDP leaders sound like preachers. When they want to steal our money whether at the National Assembly or at the Executive council meetings, they begin with the statement "let us pray". Anytime you hear them chorus "let us pray", just know that somebody is about to be robbed. Is this democracy or theocracy?

It is no news that Nigeria is a nation of religious puppets, but for it to get to the level where our defense apparatus is part of an estate of a priest, then we are gone! Bye bye to our senses. The connection between a priest and arms dealing is miraculous. The parallel between the pulpit and military wares is epic, maybe it was needed to fight Satan since the "die by fire" prayers was not enough. It is totally understood.

Our polithiefcians and legislooters will always be safe and encouraged so far our minds are controlled by the priests. The priest is to the polithiefcian what the river is to a crocodile. Polithiefcians and priests complement each other in fingering the masses of their treasuries and resources into their personal coffers. They are comfortable colleagues in the field of con and theft.

In nations where polithiefcians are brought to book for malfeasance, priests are as significant in that clime like what a plate of egusi is to a Chinese man. But in nations where priests are accorded the luxury of breeding, corruption becomes their breast-feeding mother. No other place in the world where priests are of national importance like Nigeria. The average Nigerian's understanding of worshiping God is worshiping any man that calls himself "Man of God." If I were the President of Nigeria, I'll simply appoint a preacher as my minister of information and Presidential spokesman. Any time they speak, Nigerians will simply believe even when they know its a lie they'll simply chorus "Don't question the man of God."

Dear Nigerians, if you cannot confront your priests, you will condone your polithiefcians and your nation will forever remain clowned! Anything or anyone that is barred from scrutiny have been given the license to commit fraud and crime freely. If Amaechi's private jet was the one caught in South Africa, would the story and accusations have been different? Oh! The government grounded Amaechi's jet. But yet still, can the federal government hire River's State jet to buy arms in South Africa? Yes of course they will do it when Amaechi adds the title of a Bishop to his name. Hiring rapper Ayo's Private jet was just a random coincidence. National security, we hail thy brilliance. Very awesome I tell you.

On the other hand, 12 Nigerian Army officers are sentenced to death and found guilty of mutiny while their GOC was simply retired.

First of all, I never knew that a criminal trial can be this fast in Nigeria. This is the quickest criminal judgment. What happened to the trials of EFCC cases on corrupt politicians and former governors? Is it after our great-grand children will die of old age that they will deliver the judgment? My country is amazing! If you want something to arouse your irritation, look no further, just start discussing Nigeria.

So, these 12 brave soldiers who were starved of their funds including military weapons by the government, suffered an embarrassing defeat in the hands of terrorists and lost their colleagues alongside battle just because some greedy Generals refused to do their works, and they are now found guilty of mutiny because they protested against the corruption and treason perpetrated by their superior. When exposing a crime is treated like a crime, then you are ruled by criminals.

If a General should starve soldiers of their weapons and allowances isn't he committing mutiny? Trying to compromise the morale of soldiers and arousing their disaffection through a calculated decision of refusing to arm them is a treason and a mutiny against the state. The end result of this is the encouragement of high level treason against the state. What manner of justice is this?

Aren't they telling those soldiers that it would have been better they betrayed the state and fought for terrorists instead? Soldiers who fought for the state against terrorists are now rewarded with a death sentence, because they were disatisfied by the compromise of their GOC against the state. Anyone who deliberately takes an action to undermine the victory of the state in the fight against an external threat has committing treason and is planning mutiny, not the other person who is protesting against the person trying to undermine the victory of the state.

What are they teaching people here? That the reward of some top Chief conspiring against the state by starving the agents of government is retirement while those who aim to bring to light this conspiracy are punished by death. We are awesome!

So people who fought to protect the nation at the cost of their lives are rewarded with death? They did not die by the hands of Boko Haram but rather in the hands of the same people they were fighting. What a gratitude! Wouldn't it better if they were terrorists and got killed by the government than to be an agent of the government and then ended up being killed by the same government?

Isn't it awesome that men who stole billions in Nigeria are yet to be sentenced behind bars and some were granted Presidential pardon but those who put their lives at stake in the field are being rewarded with the grand prize of the gallows? In Nigeria, those who launder money and import arms in their private jets are not guilty of mutiny. What a nation! Are we not telling ourselves and others that it is profitable to be a big thief than the one revolts against big thieves?

Kill corruption, don't kill our soldiers. They are already suffering enough in the battle field because of the senseless partisan politicians and corrupt statesmen hungry for power, don't make it any worse. Free our soldiers! Reward them, don't ruin them.

Seized $9.3million Controversy: APC raises 13 questions for President Jonathan

Press Release

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has urged President Goodluck Jonathan to come clean on the circumstances surrounding the 9.3 million US dollars that was impounded in South Africa, which has become the latest in a series of global ridicule to which the scandal-prone Jonathan administration has subjected Nigeria and her people.

In a statement issued in Abuja on Thursday by its National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed, the party also called on the National Assembly to launch an urgent investigation into the issue, saying the silence of the peoples’ representatives on the issue is deafening, unfathomable and unacceptable.

It said there is no doubt that the President is at the centre of the whole issue, considering the presidential treatment given to the plane and its cargo, since the plane departed from the Presidential wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja, away from the reach of the Nigerian Customs Service which could not therefore have cleared the plane and its passengers.

”It is absolutely urgent for President Jonathan to clear the air on this alleged off-the-shelf equipment or arms purchase, which runs against all known protocol for such purchases anywhere in the world. Military equipment and weapons are not bean cakes to be purchased by the road side. There are globally-acceptable protocols for such purchases by governments, otherwise what differentiates a government from an insurgent group that is shopping for arms?

”Is the Jonathan Administration not aware that the UN General Assembly on April 2nd 2013 adopted a landmark Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) precisely to regulate the international trade in conventional weapons by avoiding the kind of road-side purchase that the Nigerian government is said to have been involved in? Though the ATT has not come into effect, the fact that Nigeria is among the few countries to have signed and ratified the treaty shows that the country is concerned by unregulated arms trade,’’ the APC said.
The party said the resort to ”procedural error” to explain away the whole issue cannot work, because Nigerian authorities cannot pretend not to be aware that currency brought into or taken from South Africa is monitored by law, and that anyone bringing into that country more than R25,000 in South African currency or U$10,000 or the equivalent thereof in foreign currency must declared such.

It said that in any case, those who are using ”procedural error” as an alibi are being too clever by half. This is because if entering or leaving a country with undeclared $9.3 million is mere ”procedural error”, why was Sule Lamido’s son convicted for not declaring a mere $50,000 dollars at the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport?

The APC said in the spirit of fairness, it has however decided to give President Jonathan and the government he heads the opportunity to make urgently-needed clarifications by answering a number of questions relating to the $9.3 million scandal.

“Is the money indeed meant to purchase a helicopter as has been reported?
“To which arm of the government or security force does the money belong?
“Who appropriated it and for what purpose?

“Why was the money being ferried in cash by the same government that has been spending huge time and money to promote a cashless policy? Is the resort to cash to avoid a paper trail for the transaction, in which case it is illegal?

”Mr. President, we are aware that each arm of security has an account with the CBN for the purpose of arms purchase and such transactions are properly documented, so why was this not the case in this instance?

‘Mr. President, why did it take your government all of 10 days to admit its involvement in this scandal, considering that the embarrassing incident happened since Sept. 5th and was not known until Sept. 15th?

“Does this saga not give credence to the widely held view that you are indeed benefitting from the the Boko Haram insurgency and that you have deliberately allowed it to escalate to this level?
”Mr. President, has this saga not confirmed the suspicion that your 2015 reelection bid has been factored into your handling of the Boko Haram insurgency?

“Has this saga not given more credence to revelations that the sponsors of Boko Haram are those closest to the President?

Has this saga not finally confirmed that the President knows more than he is telling the nation about the sudden escalation of the Boko Haram insurgency, especially in the run up to the 2015 elections?
”Mr. President, has this saga not confirmed that powerful forces in your administration are all working in concert to use the Boko Haram insurgency to secure tenure extension for President Jonathan?
“Is not clear now why the Senate President infamously declared two days ago that election is not on the table since the country is in a state of war?

“Have we not been proven right in our declaration at the panel discussion in the British House of Commons on Sept. 8th 2014 that the Jonathan administration will attempt to cash in on the Boko Haram insurgency to postpone elections?”

The party said the answers to the questions raised would go a long way in showing Nigerians that their government is not clandestinely buying equipment and weapons to fuel the Boko Haram insurgency and then profit from its own act of perfidy.

It said while the President is compiling his answers to the posers, he should ask his spokespersons to stop adding insult to injury by saying the CIA, FBI, Mossad etc also travel abroad with undeclared cash, in clear violation of the laws of their destination countries, to buy arms.

”Mr President only gangsters and terrorists conduct their businesses in this manner. Therefore, please call your spokespersons to order, while you are preparing to come clean to Nigerians on this latest scandal,” APC said.
