President Obama Speaks: Donald Trump Won’t Succeed Me

President Barack Obama is confident that Donald Trump will not be the next President of the united states.

Speaking at a fundraiser, he said, "I recognize that there is a deep obsession right now about Mr. Trump. And one of you pulled me aside and squeezed me hard and said, 'Tell me...that Mr. Trump is not succeeding you'!" Obama said he assured the Democrat that, "Mr. Trump's not succeeding me."

Funny enough, even Republican leaders are not keen on making Trump their presidential candidate.

Just Imagine How Marriages Are Collapsing Because of Sex

Marriage can only be truly enjoyed if the foundation is built on sincerity and God's principles. Divorce is bad but some ladies today are desperately trying to make it look like it's normal. They get married and still want to keep in touch with boyfriends for money and end up sleeping with them.

Live right because every act you engage in comes with consequences, now or in future; no escaping.

As written by Yetunde Arebi:
In our culture, once a man marries a woman and all is well, it is around her that he builds his empire and nurtures his desires and hopes for the future. The fruits of his labour are expended on his wife and the fruits of their loins, with the belief that they will be the joys of his old age.

No matter the challenges, this oftentimes should not erode her value or undermine her position in his home. For as long as she remains the chosen one, she is expected to be out of reach for other men...

Being a Mrs is no mean tag. The position of a wife also come with its demands and responsibilities and one of them, if not top on the list, is fidelity: the resolve to preserve one’s self and body. 

In fact, the Holy books affirm this position; the Bible admonishes women to submit to their husbands and the Qur’an counsels same. Even moral and societal values, and health considerations compel it upon the woman, that she stays faithful to one man - her husband.

Women found wanting in this regard, no matter how they try to pretend, usually fall from grace to grass. Most men find it difficult to forgive such women and the consequences are sometimes grievous.

But these days, things are changing with too many unfaithful wives in marriages. Sadly, it is now almost a daily occurrence to hear chilling confessions of various shades of infidelity from and about married women. Many of these stories leave one’s mouth gaping and mind confused. 

There is the tale of a woman with five children in Ogba, Lagos, Nigeria:

One thing led to another and she had to confess that only 2 of their 5 children belong to her husband. One for the husband’s friend and two for her other secret lover. The cat was let out of the bag when her secret lover insisted on taking custody of his two children. Refusing all pleas from the woman, he went straight to her husband and divulged the sordid details. The woman is now on the streets.

A similar scenario played out in Meiran area of Alagbado in the same Lagos: 

Olusho, the leader of a white garment church, in one single blow lost his wife and two children to one of his rich patrons. His wife on being caught red handed in her web of lies and infidelity, decided park out. Rather than plead to cover her misdeed and shame, she organised a vehicle and with the support of her lover, moved out same day despite the intervention of neighbours and elders around. The married lover has rented an apartment for her since he could not take her to his house.

Yet another Lagos businessman caught his adulterous wife with the help of DNA:

Without a sense of remorse, the wife confessed that her last pregnancy was for her boss at the office and she moved out of her matrimonial home, leaving the first three children with her husband.

Sadly, a few years after, the first of the other three children was also discovered not to belong to her husband as well. The teenage boy also turned out to be the biological child of the same man, her boss.

- Hmmm...there are a lot of stupid men out there who sleep with married women for fun. So, if you erroneously get married to a lady who is over money-conscious, just know that it's only a matter of time before she becomes s*x toy to such shameless men. Sad reality

Saraki Says ‘Desperate Politicians’ Want To Bring Him Down

Embattled Senate President Bukola Saraki has accused those he called desperate politicians of plotting to unleash protests against him in the wake of his trial for alleged corruption by the CCT.

Saraki said that his political foes were out to turn the trial into a tool to damage his political career.

He claimed that his 'enemies' have started distributing money and other materials to faceless civil society organisations, market men and women associations and other groups with a view to instigating demonstrations in Lagos, Abuja and Ilorin against him starting from Monday.

The aim of the sponsors of the proposed protests, he said, was to pollute public opinion against him, through forceful mobilisation of anti-Saraki protesters.

Saraki is one of the 130 Nigerians mentioned in #PanamaPapers, the 11.5 million leaked financial and legal records of politicians, businessmen, celebrities, drug traffickers and others from the internal database of the Panama-based law firm and offshore-provider, Mossack Fonseca.

He is said to own four assets abroad which were held in trust for him by proxies including his wife, Toyin.

Popular Pastor, Lazarus Muoka, Battles Rich Businessman

A businessman, Mr Uba Emmanuel Abraham is entangled in a legal battle with a popular Lagos-based cleric, Pastor Lazarus Muoka of the Lord’s Chosen Church, over some properties at Jakande Estate, Lagos and Independence Layout Enugu, Enugu State.

Abraham, who accused the popular pastor of falsifying the documents of his independence Layout property at Enugu, Enugu State, in favour of his church, is also alleging threats to his life.

But Muoka, through his lawyer, Mr, Obioma Oti, said Abraham had been paid for both properties.

Abraham, who hails from Aboh Mbaise area of Imo State, said he joined Muoka’s church in 2005 on his late mother’s advice after he returned from Japan.

He said his travail began when he decided to leave Muoka’s church, and he asked Muoka’s Lords Chosen Church congregation to vacate his (Abraham’s) No. 2 Lemon Street house at Phase II, Lagos.

It was this action, according to Abraham, that Muoka allegedly connived with one Ikedi Igbokwe, whom the pastor introduced to Abraham’s family as a house boy to give his property’s documents to Muoka while he was away in Japan in 2009.

Abraham said on his return to the country he had demanded for his property’s documents from Muoka.

He further alleged that Muoka, through Oti, denied knowledge and receipt of the documents but requested for N1m to search for them. Abraham claimed he refused to give any money but headed for the court where he swore to an affidavit for the lost documents to authenticate the ownership of his property.

Abraham also claimed that Mouka falsified and registered his (Abraham’s) Independence Layout, Enugu property with the Enugu State Ministry of Lands in favour of his church after the March 2011 tsunami, thinking he (Abraham) had died in the disaster.

“But when I came back from Japan and tried to survey and register the property, the fraud was discovered. Confident that the property belongs to me and in a bid to get those behind the fraud, I fenced the property and built a bungalow on it and nobody came out to lay claims to the land,” Abraham added.

He claimed that while in Lagos, the property was pulled down by some youths allegedly sent by Muoka.

Abraham said, “I invited the police, who arrested the suspects. They confessed they were sponsored by Muoka. The matter had since been taken to court.”

He noted that he had been under threats from Muoka and his agents since 2011. “Sometimes, they would call me for negotiation and then send attackers after me. My life is in danger,” he said.

Abraham’s counsel, Mr. Benjamin Nduka, accused the Lord’s Chosen Church of trying to avoid appearing in court as neither the church nor her counsel had appeared in court for the two cases.

Nduka said since the church was duly served the court summons, he would approach the court with a motion to compel it to appear in court, the only institution with the capacity to adjudicate on such matters.

The Divisional Crime Officer at the Independent Layout Police Station Enugu, Mr. Igbochi Igbo, in a text message referred PUNCH to the DPO.

When contacted, one of Muoka’s pastors in Lagos, Francis Eze, said he did not know anything about the said property in Enugu.

Speaking for Muoka, Oti, said Abraham was paid N2m for the half plot in Jakande Estate, Lagos.

He also claimed that Abraham was paid N1.7m for the plot at Enugu eight years ago when there was no form of property development around the area.

He said, “We fenced the two pieces of land in Lagos and Enugu, but to our greatest dismay, Uba (Abraham) went and demolished the fence at the Independence Layout. We reported the matter to the police and that is why the police are looking for him.”

Oti said Abraham was trying to drag the image of the church in the mud.

He said the church never mandated Abraham to sell his landed property to them, but that Abraham disposed the land when his business in Japan crumbled.

Oti said since the matter was in court he would not like to discuss it in depth.

Judge grants Meek Mill permission to record songs while under house arrest as long as they are free

A judge has granted permission to Meek Mill to release new tracks while he's under house arrest as long as he doesn't make any money from it.

A judge had initially told Meek Mill that he couldn't record new music while under house arrest but that has been reversed in order to 'protect his brand'.

According to TMZ, as soon as he got the permission, he did a new remix of Drake's Summer Sixteen track last week...a diss track.

 

However, there is a caveat to the permission - he cannot make any money off these new tracks so has to drop them on free platforms like SoundCloud and YouTube.

Forest where IPOB bury people in shallow graves found in Abia, DSS takes over

The Department of State Services, DSS, has taken over Umuanyi Forest near Aba in Abia State, where it said that about 55 unidentified shallow graves were discovered.

Not less than 55 identified persons were said to have been allegedly buried in the graves by members of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB.

The DSS is accusing the members IPOB of engaging in kidnapping and extrajudicial killings.

IPOB is being led by the Director of guerilla Radio Biafra, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, who is being prosecuted by the Federal Government for alleged treasonable felony.

The secret service further accused IPOB members of the kidnapping and killing of five Hausa-Fulani men whose remains it said were buried in the same forest.

But MASSOB, which is another pro-Biafra group, rose in defence of IPOB and dismissed the allegations by the DSS as lacking merit and evidence.

A statement issued by DSS spokesperson, Mr. Tony Opuiyo, read:
“Service has uncovered the heinous role played by members of the IPOB in the abduction/kidnap of five Hausa-Fulani residents, namely Mohammed Gainako, Ibrahim Mohammed, Idris Yakubu, and Isa Mohammed Rago at Isuikwuato LGA in Abia State.

“The abducted men were later discovered at the Umuanyi Forest, Abia State, where they were suspected to have been killed by their abductors and buried in shallow graves, amidst 50 other shallow graves of unidentified persons.

“Arrests and investigation conducted so far revealed that elements within the IPOB carried out this dastardly action.”

With this act, Opuiyo said it is pertinent to alert the general public that IPOB was showing its true divisive colour and objectives, while steadily embarking on gruesome actions in a bid to ignite ethnic terrorism and mistrust amongst non-indigenes in the South-East region and other parts of the country.

Following this act, the DSS alerted that tension was currently rife among communal stakeholders in the state, with possibilities of spillover to other parts of country.

The agency warned that it would not hesitate to act decisively within its statutory mandate to ensure that the sponsors and perpetrators of “this action are apprehended and prosecuted for their crime.”

Kanye West makes history as Life Of Pablo tops Billboard chart mainly through streaming

Kanye West made history on Sunday as the first album to reach number one in the United States mostly through streaming. His Life of Pablo album topped the Billboard chart mostly through streaming.

Kanye debuted his album The Life of Pablo in February at his Yeezy Season 3 fashion show at New York's Madison Square Garden and initially distributed it only through the Tidal streaming service.

The album earlier this month became available on rival sites such as Spotify and has been streamed so much that it appeared for the first time on the benchmark Billboard chart.

The Life Of Pablo nearly two months after its release opened at number one on the Billboard chart.

Tracking service Nielsen Service said that The Life Of Pablo sold the equivalent of 94,000 copies in the week, 70%  of which was through streaming (fastest way to get unlimited, popular music online).

 

Kanye West beat the previous record for the level of streaming behind a number one album which was Rihanna's. Rihanna held that title with streaming accounting for nearly a third of the sales of her Anti album.

He tweeted this on Friday...
