Three Policemen Beats Up An Okada Rider For Refusing To Give Them 50#

A young man has been assaulted by three police officers earlier today at a checkpoint in Enugu state.

According to a Facebook user, Afam Goodluck who shared the video on social media, the motorcyclist otherwise known as okada rider was on his way to a campaign at Ndeaboh Aninri local government area of the state before he was stopped by some officers at the checkpoint.

He tendered his documents and all his motorcycle papers which were complete as requested by the officers. However, when he was about to leave, the police officers allegedly asked him to give them N50, which he said he didn’t have as he claimed he didn’t have any cash on him.

The officers tried to seize his motorcycle key but he refused. This earned him some beatings from the officers as they threatened him. He later handed the key to them.

The video of the assault has gone viral online:

My life is crashing down because of my preaching against tithe - Daddy Freeze cries out

Controversial On-Air Personality (OAP), Daddy Freeze has cried out over his poor financial status since he began to preach against payment of tithes in churches.

Freeze writing on his Twitter page said that his campaign against tithe has crumbled his finances and affected his career. According to him, since his ‘Free The Sheeple’ movement began, he had lost businesses, clients and opportunities.

The staunch ‘church’ critic said, ‘‘From my experience with these people who stop at nothing, if you dare speak out against the lies many of them are telling, you are in for a lot.

”They fought me on every realm. I lost every business client, I used to MC a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 5 events monthly and I used to charge more than a million Naira per event. I haven’t MCed in 2 years.

”They went as far as trying to get me sacked from work so I can be without much of a ‘crown’ and ‘frozen’.

”All I do now is teach the Bible from home online and in my weakness, his great strength prevails. My egbon, I pray that the river of truth that is flowing from your mouth NEVER ceases and in the weakness of whatever persecution may come, God’s strength in you will prevail.”

Rihanna Slays In Her Beautiful Outfit As She Stepped Out On Her Fashion Week.

Rihanna stuns at the Diamond Ball

Rihanna is renowned for putting on a breathtaking display at every turn. 

So naturally she brought the goods on Thursday evening as she led the stars at her fourth annual celebrity Diamond Ball, held at NYC's Cipriani Wall Street restaurant, and launched in a bid to raise funds for her charity the Clara Lionel Foundation, in honour of her grandparents. 

The 30-year-old Barbadian-born beauty was a vision in a sensational white jumpsuit, from the Fall 2018 Alexis Mabille Couture collection, which featured a racy lace body with a vast bow adornment protecting her modesty, while shew as joined by the likes of the Hilton sister, Tiffany Haddish and Duckie Thot.

Rihanna's long-sleeved ensemble hugged her curves in all the right places thanks to the skin-tight lace which displayed her lingerie but also her flesh from beneath 

the sheer material.

Adding to the already incredible ensemble, the songstress wrapped up with a large satin adornment complete with a cleavage-covering bow and derriere protecting skirt to make the ultimate dramatic statement. 

Despite being used to risque and often perilous ensembles on the red carpet, she still appeared to struggle with the intricacies of her ensemble as she toyed with the hem of the gown as she preened and posed. 

The Oceans 8 star ensured all eyes were on the killer look by teaming it with simplistic strappy heels, vast diamond drop earrings and a flawlessly sleek hairstyle comprising of loose flowing curls.

She accessorised her fashionable look with not only the pair of sparkling diamond drop earrings but also an equally lavish and no doubt pricey bracelet and ring.

The Fenty Beauty mogul ensured she was her own best advertisement for the event as she fashioned her make-up into a flawless style with metallic tones helping to offset her stunning features and bone structure.

Rihanna's smoky eye boasted silver and grey hues while she coordinated her shiny lipstick with the look. Her brows were shaped to perfection and her luminous complexion contoured to highlight her high cheekbones.

R Kelly's brother accuse him of impregnating their 14-year-old cousin.

When Carey Kelly (R Kelly’s brother) released diss track which was a reply to R.kelly’s 19 min-long song I Admit, he charged him giving “females some crazy disease” and reminding him that he, “ain’t gotta wife”.

Now, Kelly is back with allegations against his famed brother of sexually abusing their 14- year-old cousin which might have led to him impregnating her.

In his words during an interview with unWinewithTashaK, he claimed that,

“Robert has a control problem. And the only reason why he targets little girls, now that I’m older, I understand. He was molested. I was molested [too], but I didn’t turn out that way”, explaining that they were molested by the same person.

And branding himself, “a protection of children”. He said, “I didn’t want kids to go through what I went through…especially my daughters,” he adds.

He further revealed that the family caught on with the molestations when the two spent a lot of time together. He explains that he understands that despite the fact that he is speaking the truth, a lot of people might not believe.

“It’s almost hard to believe that this icon, this superstar, would do things of that nature.”

Young lady shares her heartbreaking story of how she suffered 19 miscarriages in 6 years before she finally put to bed. (Photos )

A young lady identified as Sandra Harrison, who recently welcomed a baby girl, has taken to her Facebook page to narrate her heartbreaking story of what she passed through while seeking the fruit of the womb.

The new mother said that she was diagnosed with fibroid, tilted fallopian tubes, and hormonal imbalance. Doctors tried all they could but nothing worked, adding that she tried herbalists too but it yielded no result.

Revealing further, she said that her condition saw her go to different places in search of a cure, taking every herb, drug and concoctions available, yet nothing happened.

She said she got pregnant multiple times but suffered miscarriages 19 times, and to make matters worse, the hormonal drugs were making her put on so much weight and people will constantly comment on her weight and ask her to watch it, unaware that she had no control over it.

Eventually, after 6 years of marriage, she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl.

Below is how she narrated her story in full:

************

"Medical doctors in owerri said I had fibroid, my fallopian tubes were tilted and that my hormones were imbalanced. After trying and failing with hospitals and medical doctors, I had to try traditional doctors, herbalists if u may, and of cos they had their own reports.

Ukwu oku, ehie afor, and the rest of them. Herbs (ogu igbo) took me to different parts of the east, aba, mbaise, anambra, orlu, ngwa, just to mention a few.

It's not like I wasn't getting pregnant, I was, but I kept loosing the pregnancies. I stopped counting when I had lost over 19 babies (19 miscarriages), because after all, it was not an achievement, I told myself there was no point keeping records.

I took drugs and drank concotions till I was almost shapeless, people kept telling me "Sandra ure getting fat oh, u better watch it", without knowing what I was going thru, how would I have told them that it was the hormonal drugs that was making me fat.

A lot of things were said, a lot of gossip went out, I heard them all but still smiled with the people that said them, after all, they were "friends", and some family.

One said she went with me to whr I did the abortion that cost me my womb, another said I have plans of leaving my husband that's why I didn't want to get pregnant for him, another said I should keep buying cars, instead of building my home and filling it up with children, another said God has not given me my own kids bcos I don't appreciate other people's kids, another said im eating the children in my womb tru witchcraft, another said God will not bless me with my own kids bcos I have a bad character. I was called barren, a man, a wood, infertile, a witch....... the list of names and gossip is endless.

I prayed, oh believe you me, I prayed, I fasted, I cried, I went to different churches, I was in the chior, I cleaned the church on Saturdays. To a large extent I was faithful to God, yet nothing happened, and I kept asking God why he hated me so much.

But when it was time, it was time. God showed up, He proved himself strong, he showed me He didn't hate me.

After 6 years of marriage, 6 years of waiting, 6 years of praying, 6 years of crying, 6 years of fasting, 6 years of mockery, 6 years if gossip, 6 years of pain, God decided to dry my late night tears with this beautiful miracle, MY BABY GIRL.

I call her CHIZARAMEKPERE. KENDRA. OLAOLUWA. FAVOUR. ONYEMACHI.

Welcome MY PRINCESS."

Messi might be the best but I'm more handsome than him. - Ronaldo

As the debate for who the best player is between Ronaldo and Messi, former England international, Peter Crouch has revealed how Manchester United players trolls Ronaldo saying Messi is better than him.

Peter Crouch:

"Rio Ferdinand would tell us stories about how Cristiano Ronaldo would stand in front of the mirror naked, running his hand through his hair, and say, 'Wow. I'm so beautiful!' "
"The other United players would try to wind him up. 'Whatever. Leo Messi is a better player than you.' And he would shrug his shoulders and smile again. 'Ah yes. But Messi does not look like this...'

Ronaldo has the marketing look, unlike his rival who poses to be a cool dude.

The debate is still ongoing among fans and passionate football lovers, but have Ronaldo settled the debate himself?

Drake reunites with Meek Mill. Photos

Drake and his former nemesis Meek Mill have apparently made amends following a long-running feud.

The Toronto superstar brought out the Philly rapper during a show at the TD Garden in Boston on Saturday night (September 8). Drake, of course, was performing with Migos as part of the Aubrey and The Three Amigos Tour.

Shortly after Meek steps on stage, he and Drake exchange a quick handshake as Meek goes on to perform his 2012 track “Dreams & Nightmares.”

Drake marked the occasion on social media with an Instagram post.

“This really gave me peace of mind tonight,” he wrote in the caption. “Healing and moving forward created one of the most electric and gratifying moments of my career.

“@meekmill I’m happy that you are home and that we could find our way back to our joint purpose. (Cue the Kevin Garnett “anything is possible” adlib).”

Drake and Meek’s beef stretches back to 2015 when Meek fired off a tweet accusing the 6 God of using ghostwriters. Consequently, Drake retailed with two diss tracks aimed at Meek, including the  “Back To Back” freestyle.

In an interview with Ebro In The Morning last July, Meek admitted he was “out of control” with the whole thing.

“The way I was coming at everybody, I offended a lot of people at that point,” he said. “Even the way I was talking, the stuff I said … We had little things that I ain’t really agree with that I didn’t feel. And when I’m off the shits, I’m just off the shits. I’m just coming a thousand miles an hour.

“I don’t give a fuck about nobody, how I was coming. And me as a person now when I’m not like that…I think I could have approached things better. It is what it is.”
Since then, things have drastically changed. Meek served seven months at Chester State Prison and was released in May.

Soon after Meek’s November 2017 arrest, Drake offered his support during a show in Melbourne, Australia.

“I see you got the ‘Free Meek Mill’ T-shirt,” he told an audience member. “Free Meek Mill too. You right.”

87 years old man divorce his 27 years old wife for refusing him sex.

Ivan Krasko, famous for more than 140 roles in Soviet and Russian movies, wed Natalia Krasko in September of 2015 (Picture: CEN)

A famous 87-year-old Russian actor is divorcing his 27-year-old wife because she has refused to have sex with him.

Ivan Krasko, famous for more than 140 roles in Soviet and Russian movies, wed Natalia Krasko in September of 2015.

However he said that almost immediately she had started refusing sex – because she was worried about getting pregnant.

He said she was also worried about the fact that they did not have the money to raise a child and did not even have a place of their own to stay in.

The revelation is in contrast to his statement last year that he wanted to have children with Natalia, but now he wants a divorce from his younger wife.

Reportedly Natalia who grew up in a poor family felt that she did not want the same destiny for her children.

Natalia said: ‘I don’t want to become a single mother, children mean responsibility, and we don’t even have our own place.’

During all the years of their marriage the pair has been living with Krasko’s grandson Kirill’s at the younger man’s flat in the Russian capital Moscow.

Natalia said that she only learned she was being divorced during a vacation in Spain, and for his part the actor plans on returning to his last wife Natalia Vyal, who was his third spouse and is the mother of his youngest two sons.

Mr Krasko already has three sons and two daughters from his previous marriages and even though he became a grandfather five years ago, earlier this year he insisted that he wanted another child.

I'm a Feminist - Genevieve

Successful  Nollywood actress, Genevieve Nnaji, has openly declared herself to be among the feminist movement.

The actress in an interview with Women and Hollywood Magazine, a media orgnaisation that educates, advocates, and agitates for gender diversity in Hollywood and the global film industry, said she is a feminist and proud of it.

She called on other women to wake up and stop feeling self-conscious and ashamed of their womanhood.

Miss Nnaji said, “I’m a proud feminist who embraces her femininity. I feel sometimes women are made to feel self-conscious and ashamed of their womanhood.

“Perhaps like “Wonder Woman,” we may wake up one day to discover that it is our superpower, and then we would be unstoppable.

“History has shown that in almost every situation where a group of people or a demographic is being oppressed, it’s usually because the oppressors are threatened by the potential of the oppressed to be great.

“I’m happy women all over the world are discovering their superpower and turning “why me?” into “not me.”

AFCON - Eagles victory revives qualification hopes.

It was their first victory in the group after they lost their opening game 2-0 in Uyo to South Africa last year.

The Seychelles packed their defence in the first half and soaked up the pressure applied by Nigeria until the deadlock was broken after a quarter of an hour.

Skipper Ahmed Musa opened the scoring for Nigeria after 15 minutes when his powerful shot from outside the box pinged off the crossbar before it hit the diving goalkeeper and bounced over the line.

Chidozie Awaziem doubled Nigeria’s advantage in the 34th minute, putting away a rebound from Kelechi Iheanacho’s free-kick that had come off the post.

Odion Ighalo was unlucky not to make it 3-0 two minutes later when his chip over the Seychelles goalkeeper bounced off the crossbar.

However, the China-based striker made up for that in the 57th minute from the penalty spot after the impressive debutant Samuel Kalu was fouled inside the box on his way to goal.

The home team’s best chance to score was in the 62nd minute when onrushing Eagles goalkeeper Francis Uzoho was lobbed, but the effort missed the mark.

Kane opens up on Ramos tackle on Salah last May.

Tottenham Hotspur and England international, Harry Kane has dust off the claim that Real Madrid captain, Sergio Ramos, deliberately tried to injure Liverpool forward, Mohamed Salah, in the Champions League final in May.

Despite the incident occurring in May, Liverpool fans continue to accuse Ramos of intentionally injuring Salah.

England host Spain at Wembley on Saturday night, and Ramos has already insisted he does not care what English fans will do to him.

Kane too does not expect Ramos to be targeted, and does not believe the centre-back crossed a line, to begin with.

“I haven’t spoken to Jordan (Henderson) about him or the Champions League final (defeat), I don’t think he would want to talk about that too much, as I wouldn’t,” Metro UK quoted Kane as saying.

“But Ramos is a competitive player. A great, great defender on and off the ball. We played against him last year against Madrid.

“He’s a tough centre-half. He wasn’t over the top, he didn’t do anything out of the ordinary.

“He tests the boundaries, but that’s what the referees are there for.”

Donald Trump urges Apple to invest in America.

United States President Donald Trump on Saturday called for Apple to make its products in the US instead of China to avoid suffering the consequences of his trade war with Beijing.

Trump has repeatedly called for companies to move production to the United States, or to keep it there, while pushing aggressive trade actions aimed at narrowing the US trade deficit, which he equates with theft from Americans.

“Apple prices may increase because of the massive Tariffs we may be imposing on China – but there is an easy solution where there would be ZERO tax, and indeed a tax incentive,” Trump tweeted.

“Make your products in the United States instead of China. Start building new plants now. Exciting!”

But the higher cost of wages in the United States could offset the benefits Apple might gain by avoiding tariffs affecting its products manufactured in China.

The Trump administration has placed punitive tariffs on $50 billion in Chinese goods and threatened to tax all Chinese imports to the United States.

US businesses have become increasingly concerned about the tariffs, which are raising prices for manufacturers and could hurt the economy.

But Trump has been unapologetic, insisting that his tough tactics will work.

Rap Beef: Nicki Minaj and Cardi B fights dirty

Two of America’s most prominent rap and hip-hop artists, Nicki Minaj and Cardi B, nearly came to blows in a brief but explosive confrontation during New York’s Fashion Week.

Videos on Twitter and YouTube showed the two women, who were on a second-floor balcony above a red carpet event late Friday, being separated by their security guards as Cardi B curses her rival before throwing a shoe at her.

Minaj was reportedly not hurt. But a photo taken immediately afterward shows Cardi B with a large bump just above her left eye. The Variety website said one of Minaj’s guards elbowed her during the melee.

It was not immediately known what touched off the dispute, but gossip site TMZ said Cardi B, the first female rapper to have had multiple No. 1 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, had accused the older Minaj, one of the best-selling musical artists now performing, of spreading “lies” about her.

In a subsequent Instagram post, the 25-year-old Cardi B complained — without naming names — that her rival had gone too far when she criticised Cardi B’s qualities as a mother. Cardi B had a child in July with fellow rapper Offset.

Cardi B gained enormous notoriety in the US musical world last year with the release of her song “Bodak Yellow,” with its references to her past as a strip-tease dancer trying to make ends meet.

Minaj, 35, has sold more than five million albums worldwide and won 10 Grammy nominations.

“The show is going to be special every night. I wish it started tomorrow (Friday).”

Fans troll Allison for his slip against Leicester.

Liverpool's new record signing goalkeeper has been taunted on social media following his mistake that  led former Premier League Champions back into Saturday’s Premier League match.

After Loris Karius’ double calamity in the Champions League final defeat against Real Madrid in June, the Liverpool goalkeeper has found himself red-faced following a horrible mistake.

Alisson was signed by Jurgen Klopp’s side in the summer in the hope he would provide more reliable cover in goal, with his record transfer fee of £67m ($84m) – then a world record for a shot-stopper – reflecting how much the Anfield side valued him.

The former Roma goalie compounded Virgil van Dijk’s miserable back-pass with a casual attempt at turning away from substitute Kelechi Iheanacho, who pounced on him and squared the ball for Ghezzal to open his Premier League account.

The mistake however, wasn't too costly, as the merseyside stole a comfortable 2-1 victory in the end.

Stop deceiving the public! - Eric Many warns Runtown.

Nigerian record label, Eric Many has once again called out its enstranged artiste and popstar, Runtown saying he keeps deceiving promoters out of desperation to collect money from them even though they have a court injunction that states other wise.

According to Eric Many’s General Manager, Johnson Adumike, ‘Runtown is a liar and he’s really desperate, he keeps dragging our name in the mud by telling all sorts of lies to show promoters that the law suit against him has been settled. This is a big lie. We have an injuction against him that says we should maintain status quo and the next court date is September 27th.

He went on to say, ‘he pulled a fast one on Martell last night with the same lies and when we reached out to them to let them know the true state of things they were shocked. This is how Runtown collected 7,500 dollars from a promoter in Canada illegally and when we reached out to the promoters with copyright documents, Runtown absconded with the promoters money leaving Tanya Vanloo, a Montreal promoter to suffer’.

‘We are speaking out inform all show promoters and media houses that Runtown is a liar and we still have a case against him in court that’s scheduled to come up for hearing on September 27th’ he said.

I was not certain if I loved my husband - Maheeda

Popular Nigerian nudist, Maheeda, has revealed in a recent interview that she wasn't certain if she was truly in love with her husband and that she was on the brink of dumping her marriage.

In a brief chat with Sunday Scoop , Maheeda opened up that she never wanted to marry just for the money. But in the end she was pleased to have ended up with her Caucasian husband.

The singer also maintained that there isn’t much difference between marrying a white man and a Nigerian.

She said,

“Money wasn’t the major reason I married my husband but it was one of the factors. I believe it was a matter of destiny, like we were meant for each other because at some point, I tried to stop it by running away but thank God for my daughter who was always there for me. I wasn’t sure anymore if it was for love or money and I was very skeptical about it too because then, I didn’t believe in divorce.”
“Maturity and love are the factors that have kept us together. My man was actually the first to be mature in the relationship; then he allowed me to grow and I’m picking it up day by day. Love was not enough.”
“My man doesn’t do social media.”

When asked if there's a difference between White men and black men in relationships, she said:

“I think there isn’t much difference. The only difference I see is that white men respect you no matter where you're from or where they met you; be it from the street, club or work. I know some women talk of black guys and sex but trust me, some Italian guyd are also very good in that particular area.”
