Man Who Drank Gutter Water After Buhari’s Victory Is Very Much Alive

Haruna Bala, the man who had said if President Buhari wins the just concluded Presidential election, that he will swim and drink gutter water is ALIVE. In our earlier report, multiple online sources had said, Bala lost his life after swimming and drinking gutter water.

But a new confirmation from Daily Trust proves Bala is still very much alive, and not just alive, but active too.

Though he kept to his promise of swimming and drinking the gutter water, Daily Trust quotes Bala as saying;

“It is true, I made the promise before the elections and I fulfilled it and I have no regrets. As I am talking to you now, I am on my way back to Bauchi after we finished a painting work somewhere outside Bauchi." Lobatan!

Why Does Dictionary.Com Keep Mocking Forbes Kylie Jenner’s Self-Made Declaration

The dictionary has responded to the announcement that Kylie Jenner is officially the youngest-ever self-made billionaire with confusion.

On Tuesday, Forbes revealed that the 21-year-old makeup mogul made its annual ranking of richest people in the world, as both the youngest billionaire in the world and the youngest self-made billionaire.

However, some have taken issue with the idea that Jenner, the youngest of the Kardashian clan, is “self-made,” considering the wealth and fame of her family and its popular reality TV show Keeping Up with the Kardashians. 


According to Forbes, the 21-year-old’s net worth comes primarily from her cosmetics line Kylie Cosmetics – but despite the magazine’s insistence, dictionary.com has questioned the accomplishment for the second time.

On Twitter, dictionary.com responded to Forbes’ announcement, writing: “Haven’t we gone over this?

“Self-made: Having succeeded in life unaided.”

The dictionary then linked to the dictionary definition of the term.

Last year, the dictionary also contested the claim after Forbes revealed Jenner was likely to be named the youngest self-made billionaire in a year considering the growth of her company.

At the time, dictionary.com tweeted: “Self-made means having succeeded in life unaided.

“Used in a sentence: Forbes says that Kylie Jenner is a self-made woman.”

On social media, the debate over whether Jenner is indeed “self-made” has divided opinion.

My Marriage Has Crashed - Nollywood Actress Yvonne Jegede

Popular actress Yvonne Jegede has opened up about the widely rumoured crisis in her few years old marriage to Olakunle Abounce Fawole after the pair welcomed their four-month-old son, Xavier.

The actress in a recent interview with Pulse said, "we started having issues before the birth of Xavier. I think I was about two to three months pregnant when the issues came. Immediately the issues came, there was never a dull moment, it just kept going up and up and it got worse and it got bad and today here we are".

The actress with a career spanning 16 years said when the issues in her marriage to Abounce, a former rapper and actor, became obvious and irredeemable she moved out of their matrimonial home after a mutual agreement.

"Right now, we are not living together, and we are not living as husband and wife, we are not husband and wife anymore and I would say a mutual agreement to go our separate ways. It didn't work out, it wasn't working out," she said.

However, Yvonne Jegede said her marriage to Abounce was worth it for the months it lasted. She said the times they shared together as a couple were nice and sweet so she wouldn't trample on those times. The couple had their court and traditional wedding in 2017.

Seriously? Lagos Cancer Centre Still Under Lock 4 Weeks After Being Inaugurated By Buhari

The cancer treatment centre President Muhammadu Buhari inaugurated at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) about four weeks ago is still under lock.

Buhari inaugurated the centre on Saturday, February 9, with a pledge to ensure that facilities for the prevention, early diagnosis and treatment of cancer are available to more Nigerians.

When TheCable first visited the facility two days after the launch, the doors were shut, while workers where outside putting finishing touches to some aspects of the building.

One of the officials who spoke to the reporter said the centre was not functional because staff had not been deployed there yet.

“The staff here have not resumed. They can’t begin operation for now. It might be after the election,” the official, who did not want to be named, said.

On a second visit to the facility on Tuesday this week, the building was locked. Only a guard manning the facility was seen.

In a telephone interview with TheCable, Kelechi Otuneme, LUTH spokesman, said he was not aware if the treatment centre had started functioning.

“The HOD is not around. He is the only person that can give you the information,” Otuneme said, promising to provide the HOD’s contact details. He had not fulfilled the promise as of the time this report was filed.

Eight Months After World Cup, Stranded Nigerians, Others Face Deportation From Russia

In a cramped apartment on the outskirts of Moscow, Lamin has little more than the clothes and the Bible he brought with him when he came to Russia on a temporary World Cup visa last summer.

The 23-year-old Gambian shares the two-bedroom flat with nine other people  the youngest a newborn baby girl, the daughter of a Congolese flatmate.

Like thousands of other Africans, Lamin came to Russia during the 2018 tournament on a “Fan ID” that allowed spectators to bypass the country’s usual visa requirements.

While most came purely to watch the football, others had plans to stay on and find work.


Some believed they could claim asylum in Russia or that the country would be a stepping-stone to life in Europe.

But eight months after the World Cup, their hopes have been dashed and the Russian interior ministry has said it is stepping up measures to deport all over-staying guests by the end of March.

One such immigrant affected is Solomon, who came during the World Cup to watch Nigeria play — his home side. He already had plans to stay on after the tournament.

At first, the 31-year-old found work as a gardener but is now unemployed.

“In Nigeria, there is no job, no good politics, no good life,” the engineering graduate said.

“I just want to stay here for a little time, so that I am able to work, get some money and go to another place.”

He is “very worried” about the interior ministry’s March deadline, but says he has no plans to leave of his own accord.

Evans’ Inability To Pay Legal Fees Stalls Trials

The inability of alleged kidnap kingpin Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, alias Evans, to pay his legal bills has stalled two trials which are before Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo of an Ikeja Special Offences Court.

Mr Chinoye Obiagwu (SAN), the counsel to Evans and Chiemeka Arinze his co-defendant in one of the kidnap cases, had written to the court to request for an adjournment in both cases.

Portions of the letter dated March 4 and signed by Mr Noel Brown on behalf of Obiagwu was read in court by Mr Abiodun Alagbe, the state prosecutor.


Excerpts of the letter read, “Now that he (Obiagwu) is on hand to lead the defence, he finds that the families of the defendants are yet to provide some necessary yet critical obligations, which to prevent any embarrassment, and for the safety and well being of the defendants, who are still being held in custody, he (Obiagwu) would not want disclosed to the open court.”

After he had read portions of the letter, Alagbe noted that Evans’ defence team were also absent in court during the trial on February 6.

Reacting to the letter, Justice Taiwo registered her displeasure at the request for an adjournment.

“It is ridiculous that we should wait for the first defendant (Evans) and his counsel to negotiate for a case that is already in court,” she said.

Court Disqualifies Taraba APC Gov. Candidate

A Federal High Court sitting in Jalingo, the Taraba State capital, has disqualified Alhaji Sani Abubakar Danladi, the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in the state.

He, however, dumped PDP for APC in December 2017.

Buhari Will Decide Next Senate President For Us - Senator

President Muhammadu Buhari will be a major determinant in who becomes the next head of the Senate and chairman of the National Assembly, a member of the upper legislative chamber, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has disclosed.

"Anybody who is going to be Senate president, in the 9th Senate, must be somebody who is loyal to Mr President, the party and the constitution. The Senate president will be determined by Mr President. Mr President will indicate to us through the party who he want to work with."

Omo-Agege who represents Delta Central senatorial district, said this while speaking with NAN in Warri, Delta state. The senator said Buhari and the ruling APC would avoid the 2015 mistake that led to the emergence of Sen. Bukola Saraki as the president of the Senate.

He claimed he was not aware if the APC had zoned the position of the Senate president to any region of the country. "But what I can tell you is that we are going to have a Senate that will work with Mr President. The era of allowing renegades who rode on the back of Mr President, who rode on the back of the party to go in there and trade the party’s mandate, I think that era is gone.

"I am very hopeful that this time around, Mr President will step in and decide not only the zone that will produce the Senate president and the leadership but also who should be.

"We don’t want to erect another opposition leader in the Senate, as we had in the 8th Assembly. There are a lot of us in the Senate who are returning to the next senate who fits into that position. We are so many but any decision the president makes, we will all fall in line and abide. 

"We want President Buhari to succeed and it is all in our place, some of us who are close to him, to tell him certain calls he should not make because we know ourselves in the National Assembly and we do not want a repeat of the Saraki saga as we go back to the ninth Senate," he said.
