Recall the album was supposed to drop at an earlier date which fell during the EndSARS protests. The young singer then decided to postpone it and only just released it.
The former Senate President says the track Grace is his fav.
He looks good too by the way.
While making some startling revelations about Desmond Elliot’s private life, Georgina Onuoha said the Surulere lawmaker’s days are numbered.
According to her, the day’s of Desmond honoring himself and his godfathers are coming into an end for insulting the same people who put him where he is today.
''Shame on you Desmond Elliot.
@desmondelliot I’m still waiting for your pathetic speech regarding the Lekki massacre, police brutality, extrajudicial killings by members of SARS.. the killings of innocent protesters at the Lekki tollgate.
I’m still waiting for your passionate enraged speech regarding the disenfranchised Nigerian youth.''
The Deputy Director Technical, Strengthening Integrated Delivery of HIV/AIDS Services (SIDHAS), Dr Pius Nwaokoro stated this on Thursday in Uyo during an interaction with some media representatives on HIV treatment surge.
He said the state has achieved 90 percent HIV/AIDS viral suppression rate and successfully controlled the epidemic in seven local government areas including, Uyo, Mbo, Okobo, Eastern Obolo, and Ibeno.
Nwaokoro who revealed that 65,185 people in the state are HIV positive noted that the result was based on 10 years of consistent testing and counselling carried out in 21 local government areas of the state.
As the country is on fire due to the prolonged protest and trending stories on the Lekki Toll Gate shootings, it seems other people’s relationships are also suffering crisis.
Here is a screenshot from the pages of the musicians Burna Boy and Stefflon Don which shows the couple has unfollowed each other. The reason and cause of sudden reactions are yet to be known.
Daily Trust reports that the deceased, Aminu Mohammed Ibrahim, had returned from Kano and was flagging down a commercial transport when hoodlums lurking around the area stabbed him and made away with his phone.
His elder brother, Kamal Ibrahim, who confirmed the incident said Aminu was recently employed by Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO).
“He arrived sometime between 8:30 and 9:00pm and while trying to get a taxi, hoodlums stabbed him on the chest, near his heart and made away with his phone. He was taken to hospital and he gave the hospital staff our father’s number and mine to call and inform us but he died while they were treating him,” said Kamal.
Obaseki, who said this in Benin City on Thursday, added that he was not in government to be famous or make money at the expense of ensuring development that would benefit the people.
The governor, according to a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Crusoe Osagie, noted that there was the need for a mechanism to be put in place to ensure transparency in government,
He said, “Only few persons in government are held accountable for their decisions in government.
“I am not in government to make money; I am not in government for fame. I am in government to serve. Our youths are the reasons why I am in government. If I cannot serve you, I will quit.
“The issues of better government, proper governance and transparency are what we are emphasising. When we have younger people who can use technology in government, we will have transparency and accountability, which informed my decision to have many younger people working in my government.”
Obaseki called for a strong institution that would ensure law and order.
He said, “And that is why we have the security agencies. Our security arrangement in the country must reflect our federal system as I can’t be a governor of a state and not able to hire and fire my Commissioner of Police, but #ENDSARS protests have helped us start the process.”

He described Amnesty’s report of October 21, 2020, that police personnel shot at peaceful protesters as “untrue, misleading and contrary to all available empirical evidence”.
Adamu said police officers, instead, “acted professionally, exercised commendable restraints and some paid the supreme price for peace during the recent protests and ensuing violence in some parts of the country.”
This was contained in a statement on Friday titled, ‘EndSARS Protests: Police Personnel Were Professional And Exercised Maximum Restraints – IGP Tells Amnesty Int’l’.
The statement was signed by Force Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba.
Adamu said, “During the protests, officers of the Force used legitimate means to ensure that the protests were carried out in a peaceful manner and in most cases, physically protected and walked side-by-side with the protesters.
“Even when the protests turned violent in some parts of the country, the officers still maintained utmost restraint and did not use excessive force in managing the situations.
“Available Reports show that 22 police personnel were extra-judicially killed by some rampaging protesters and scores injured during the protests. Many of the injured personnel are in life-threatening conditions at the hospitals.
“205 police stations and formations including other critical private and public infrastructure were also damaged by a section of the protesters.
“Despite these unprovoked attacks, our police officers never resorted to use of unlawful force or shooting at the protesters as alleged in the report.
“It also beggars imagination that Amnesty International failed to mention or pay tribute to Police officers who were gruesomely murdered during the protests while serving their fatherland.
“The Force decries the discriminatory tendencies exhibited by Amnesty International as seen in the report. One wonders if in the estimation of Amnesty International, police officers are not also human beings equally entitled to the protection of their fundamental rights to life and dignity of human person.”
The IGP noted that the Force is committed to the Federal Government’s ongoing reforms of the Nigeria Police Force. He also enjoined Amnesty to subject its reports to “adequate scrutiny and proper verification of facts before making the reports public”.
Shortly after the OAP made the announcement on social media, some doubted if she is really infected and said she must have been paid by the Government to make the announcement. Toke now prays those doubting her truth, will also catch covid and get healed so they can learn to trust others.

Amber Luke, from Brisbane, Queensland, has splashed out $50,000 on nearly 600 tattoos, including blue ink injected into her eyeballs during an excruciating 40-minute procedure that left her blind for three weeks.
The 25-year-old spent a further $70,000 on extreme body modifications - including a tongue split, breast augmentation, cheek and lip fillers, pointed implants placed in her ears and a Brazilian butt lift.
In a new social media post, the self-described 'blue eyed white dragon girl' shared an unrecognisable picture of herself as a fresh-faced young woman with a tiny piercing on her cheekbone and a quote tattoo on her collarbone.
'No face tattoos, just a dermal [piercing],' she wrote on her Instagram Story.

'We've all got to start somewhere,' she wrote.
'This was me at 18 years old. I was so catatonically depressed, suicidal and was a walking dead girl. I was numb. I hated myself majority of the time - that hatred ran deep. It tormented me,' she wrote in June.
'Now, I've totally transformed myself into someone I'm proud of being. I'm a strong woman who knows exactly what she wants and who she is.'
UK Minister for Africa, James Duddridge, made this known in a letter to a member of the British Parliament, Kate Osamor.
The lawmaker had earlier written the UK government over financial and training supports extended to ex-SARS officers.
Osamor, who represents Edmonton, and who is the Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Nigeria, had stated that ex-SARS operatives were involved in no fewer than 82 cases of torture, ill-treatment and extra-judicial killings since January 2017.
Responding to Osamor’s letter, Duddridge in a letter on Thursday, said the British Government, through its Conflict, Stability and Security Fund trained ex-SARS operatives and supplied some equipment to them.
Duddridge’s letter partly read, “Following my letter, officials have conducted a deep dive and reviewed our recent CSSF programmatic support to determine whether any of our programmes worked with FSARS.
“Following the review and in the interest of full transparency, I want to share the following information with you;
“Firstly, through our CSSF-funded Nigeria Policing Programme, which ended in March 2020, FSARS officers participated in the training on amended Nigerian police guidance designed to improve human rights, training on public finance, and community policing workshops.
“Secondly, through our support to the North East Public Safety and Security Programme (part of which is delivered jointly with USAID), radio equipment was issued to Borno Police Command by our implementing partner (Creative Associates) to increase coordination between police units working to improve local security and to counter violent extremist organisations. Borno Police Command distributed two handheld radios and a vehicle-mounted radio to FSARS Unit.
“These were returned and redistributed to other police units in Borno when FSARS was disbanded on 11 October.”
The minister said the British Government was working with the Nigerian Foreign Affairs Ministry and other concerned authorities to support the Federal Government’s efforts to end police brutality and extrajudicial killings.
Duddridge also welcomed the Judicial Panels of Inquiry investigating human rights abuses by security agents in Nigeria including the shootings of #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki toll gate in Lagos State.
David Matheny, 33, and his 52-year-old mum Rebecca Greenwood are both jointly charged with the murder of Sayeed Neilson who was found dead at their home.
On Monday police investigating the death announced both had also been charged with aggravated child abuse and evidence tampering.
Greenwood called police to her home in Tennessee, US, where she claimed Sayeed had died after he fell in the shower and hit his head.
She claimed Matheny got his stepbrother back on his feet, helped dry him off and helped him to get into bed before they both went to a bar for drinks after checking on him several times.
She said she found her son unresponsive in his room the following morning after she returned from a shopping trip for cleaning products.
In her words, “They (Nigerian youths) are high on drugs all the time, most of them. They go to social media to do all sorts of things.”
Some youths however in the know, have now shared photos from her birthday where CA-COVID palliatives where allegedly used as souvenirs.
They are now calling for her arrest saying, if others can be arrested for looting, then she should also be brought to book. Two more photos below...
But really, the youths have suddenly become the problem of lawmakers, they forget they were once youths too. Truth is, they know the power the youths carry, and they want to stop them. Lol, something enforced by God, a free gift from God?. Park well... a dream that can never come true. The youths can never be stopped.
This actually calls for investigation... is it true or not? Lagosians want to know.. Sigh!
Punch Metro gathered that the incident occurred around 11.30am on Monday.
Traders within the vicinity, who saw him jump into the river, reportedly drew the attention of security men around the area to the incident.
A commercial motorcyclist, Mohammad Abubakar, in response to the call for help, jumped into the river together with some fishermen.
They were said to have rescued the victim from the river.
The Head of Media and Publicity of the Kwara State Fire Service, Hassan Adekunle, who said the victim was rescued before firemen arrived at the scene, said Olayinka was unstable when he was first brought out from the water.
He, however, said the sexagenarian was revived and taken to a hospital where he was stabilised.
Adekunle said the victim refused to state the reason for attempting suicide despite the pressure mounted on him by the fire service.
However, it was gathered from some residents that Olayinka recently lamented about losing N30,000 to some thieves and that the money belonged to a friend.
Her death was announced by the Miss American Organization on social media.
“We are devastated by this sudden loss in our Miss America family and we are deeply sorry for her family and close friends for their loss,” the statement read. “At the moment, we do not have any further information regarding a service for Leanza and we ask that you please respect her family during this difficult time.”
“Hold on tight to those you love today. Time is certainly precious,” the organization added, with a sign-off of “With much love.”
No cause of death was given for Cornett, who was born in Virginia and was raised in Florida. However, News 4 Jax in Jacksonville, Florida, reported that Cornett had suffered a head injury on Oct. 12, according to a Facebook page monitoring her status.

Desmond while speaking in the House floor and addressing the speaker spoke about how 'rude' and 'destructive' the youths were during the protests and demanded something be done about it now, or else, there might be no Nigeria in 5 years time. His apology below....
“I have read your honest feedback& suggestions& I sincerely apologize for addressing the youth as “Children.
I did not mean to be insensitive with this, it was borne out of the magnitude of destruction&looting of businesses I witnessed when I went on a tour of my constituency.
I saw women crying and my constituent members distraught as a result of the damages inflicted on their source of livelihood. I was moved by this while giving my submission on the floor of the House.
I allowed my emotions get the better of me and for this I apologize to everyone my earlier statements may have hurt.
Please, understand that even the best of us make mistakes. This is why, moving forward, I ask that we all try to engage constructively on the issues that affect all of us. I promise to do the same.
The pain that I feel for my constituents, the calls for assistance that I continue to get, and the need to mitigate against further destruction and violence will continue to drive my engagements and my work.
I thank you all for expressing your views, and in the future, I promise to be more conscious and aware. Together, we will build a better Nigeria.”
The hoodlums also snatched his AK-47 rifle after attacking a police station in Abakaliki, the state capital.
The Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr Philip Maku disclosed this in a statement issued to reporters by the Police Public Relation Officer (PPRO), Mrs Loveth Odah, in Abakaliki today.
The commissioner said the hoodlums regrouped in their large numbers on Monday, Oct. 26 and reinvaded the Central Police Station, Abakaliki for the second time, setting the station ablaze including police patrol vehicles.
“Exhibit vehicles, tricycles/motorcycles and other police property seen within the station were burnt; they shot sporadically at the Policemen, and as a result gruesomely murdered Insp. Egu Omini, cut off his private part and snatched his AK-47 riffle.
“On Oct. 21, the first of the protest in the state, two policemen, Paul Akpu and PC Ali Samson sustained bullet injuries and two days later one of the victims, Akpu died while on admission at Alex-Ekwueme Federal Teaching Hospital Abakaliki.
“The hoodlums proceeded to B Division KpiriKpiri/C Division Ekumenyi (Eke-Abe Police Station) and set the two stations on fire, after looting exhibit motorcycles, Plasma TVs, Fans and other valuables from the exhibit rooms. “On Wednesday 28/10/2020 at about 4am, the hoodlums again stormed Ezza North Divisional Headquarters, vandalized the building, burnt two vehicles and Exhibit motorcycles.
“They shot and wounded One Insp. Okewu Sunday and snatched his AK-47 rifle. The victim is currently receiving treatment in the hospital,” the statement said.
The President, therefore, urged Nigerians to obey all protocols recommended by health authorities to curtail the spread of the lethal coronavirus.
Buhari, who stated this today via his verified Twitter handle, said compliance with Covid-19 protocols by all Nigerians is crucial to avert a second wave of the pandemic in the country.
“Looking at the trends in other countries, we must do all we can to avert a second wave of COVID-19 in Nigeria.
“We must make sure that our cases, which have gone down, do not rise again. Our economy is too fragile to bear another round of lockdown,” @MBuhari tweeted.
Buhari had in March imposed a total lockdown on parts of the country including Lagos, Abuja and Ogun. The lockdown lasted for over five weeks and had a tremendous effect on the country’s economical activities with the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry putting the loss at about N3bn in the period under review.
