If 35-year-old Amaosa Otabor, alias
Biggy, had known he was walking into his untimely death, he would have
stayed at home last Sunday morning. Otabor was allegedly shot dead by a childhood friend in Upper Uwa, on the out skirts of Benin City.
The
incident caused pandemonium in the area after residents heard a gunshot
in the compound of the suspect and it became glaring that somebody
may have been shot. It was learnt that the deceased, who worked with his
father in their cattle farm, woke up that fateful day at about 7am and
decided to visit a nearby street.
Sunday Vanguard was told that
the deceased went to the compound to visit one Matthew, the suspect’s
younger brother who lost his father in-law. But when he got there, he

Dutchman Robben raced into the area and beat goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller in a stunning finale.
Bayern,
on the backfoot for much of the first half, struck on the hour with
Robben cutting the ball back for Mario Mandzukic to poke home from close

The German champions' joy was short-lived though as

daily. One
of the men, Rami Kivisalo who claimed to have heard from God has
exclusively revealed to Nigeriafilms that God told him that Goodluck
Jonathan, President of Nigeria is placed there by Him and no man can
remove him.
The clergyman also said that God instructed him to warn Nigerians against raining curses or judging their leaders.
All
over the world, true Christians know how God has moved among the people
of Nigeria powerfully over the decades. Nigerians are known as a people
among whom the Spirit of God has moved, doing great and powerful signs
and wonders. Christians around the world know that Nigeria has a
multitude of churches that are full of believers, in a way that has not
been seen anywhere else.
President Goodluck Jonathan today
missed the opportunity to give a speech at the ongoing Special Assembly
in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the
African Union (AU).
Two
members of President Jonathan’s delegation spoke to SaharaReporters
from Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia which also serves as the
secretariat of the AU. They reported that there was confusion among
delegates as well as embarrassment on the part of Nigerian officials
when Mr. Jonathan failed to show up in the hall to deliver his speech.
Mr.
Jonathan’s “no-show” reportedly set tongues wagging as delegates from
other African nations asked confused Nigerian officials why their
president did not appear to address the AU on an occasion as important
as this year’s assembly. The AU was inaugurated 50 years ago and known
for many years as the

Wife of a serving House of Representatives member was fingered yesterday
in the torture, beating and alleged attempt to kidnap two ladies in Isale Eko
area of Lagos.
Sources say that yesterday morning at
about 7.15a.m, a Toyota Camry car which was used for the operation caused a
stir in Bamgbose Street in Lagos Island atthe heart of Lagos metropolis.
Like a bolt from the blue, six unidentified ladies,
carrying canes came out of the unregistered grey coloured car and advanced
towards No 101, Bamgbose Street.
The unmasked ladies met one Alhaja Basidat Ajadi
Balogun, a business woman resident in the street and repeatedly flogged her as
she wept. (The woman pictured above)
I may be their mother because I brought them into the world. I may have
the privilege to raise them up to adult age. But you know, I cannot tell
them what to do or follow at a certain age. Besides, they are Americans
who have their own minds. If they graduate from college and decide to
follow my footsteps, it’s their own calling. If I can predict, they
wouldn’t want to do what I do because they have better opportunities and
better futures than mine. All I do now is to secure a better future for
them so they don’t have to go through what I went through in my life
time. Mind you, I tell my daughters everything I do. I even told them
about this project, the nature of it, but I could not show them because
they are not up to 18 yet. I just had to prepare them in case they run
into it on the Internet, they won’t be shocked. So don’t worry about my
Kim Kardashian might have craved paparazzi attention in the past and
she's even known to tip them off on where she's going to be but things
are changing, probably because of Kanye West. Kim did something she's
never done before...she flipped on paparazzi and it was caught on tape.
The pregnant reality star was leaving LAX airport when she was swarmed
by paparazzi. The photo above shows her shouting at a pap who was trying
to take a picture of her as she made to enter her car. Kim shouted
"Shut the f**king door!." And even called him an idiot. Lol. I thought
this was what she wanted? Kim K's security team even got aggressive with
the paps.
A 25 year old petty trader has been arrested by police in Ibeju Lekki
for allegedly burning her 6 year old son's face for going into their
neighbour's home and licking their soup.
Not only did Sakirat Attah burn her son's face with hot iron after the
neighbour reported her son to her, she also used a broken bottle to stab
young Daniel in the head.
Sakirat took her son into their one room apartment after finding out
what he did, locked the door, lit a stove, put an iron spoon on it to
get hot and used it to burn his face and hands as punishment. And when
that wasn't enough, she broke a bottle and stabbed him in the head,
leaving a deep cut. Daniel later told police he stole the soup because
he was hungry.

Nigerian troops fighting Boko Haram insurgents in Borno, Yobe and
Adamawa states may have been bolstered by United States drones stationed
in Niamey, Niger Republic.
The Nigerian government had deployed
thousands of troops to the three states after President Goodluck

I grew up here in Lagos at Ebute Metta. Though I can’t speak Yoruba

Nigeria yesterday recorded a major diplomatic victory at the on going
conference of the African Union, AU, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, as her
candidacy for the non-permanent seat in the United Nations, UN, Security
Council, was unanimously endorsed by member countries.
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Olugbenga Ashiru, who
briefed newsmen on the development in Addis Ababa said the endorsement
by African ministers of Nigeria’s candidacy was a confirmation and
endorsement of Nigeria’s track record of performance as far as
international diplomacy was concerned.
The AU Ministers endorsement of Nigeria for the position is coming on
the heels of similar support by the Economic Community of West African
States, ECOWAS.
The development means that the country would be the sole candidate
from the continent in the election
Award winning Yoruba actor, Saide Balogun may be revealing the story
of his life in a new movie, ‘You or I’ which is due to be released
soon.
The movie tells the story of love, marriage and the catastrophic
effects of divorce. The story is weaving in very powerful narratives
played by lead American actor Kevin Barry who is predicted to hold
viewers spellbound as he delivers his lines throughout the movie
entirely in Yoruba language.
Kevin was not born in Nigeria, neither did he spend his growing-up
years in the country. He told HVP that he spent only a year in Ibadan
and that was it. “I also watched tones of Yoruba movies” he added.
According to him, “Saide and I met at an event in America, and
that’s where we established a relationship. It took a couple of months
and then he asked if I would do this movie with him. I looked at the

Oluwatobi was completely normal before now... But he converted to

that Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State, had won his re-election

its inimitable fashion, a faction of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party

Nollywood actresses are increasingly cementing their romantic relationships and walking down the isle in secret.
The
development is becoming so frequent that it appears a normal practice
in the industry as these babes now prefer private ceremonies to lavished
public events as far as wedding and traditional marriages are
concerned.
The big marriage arrangements embraced by the likes of
top actresses, Jennifer Eliogu, Ini Edo, Dakore Egbuson, Mercy Johnson,
Muma Gee, Tricia Esiegbe, Stephenie Okereke and many others have become
outdated as actresses no longer print wedding invitations or mention
their marriage plans to friends.
While it is no longer news that
secret weddings have become a norm, sources disclosed that they have
