See What Juliet Ibrahim Told OJB's Handlers

Ghanaian actress, Juliet Ibrahim posted a message on her instagram page and blasted handlers of ailing producer and versatile singer, OJB Jezreel telling them to stop harassing celebrities rather they should reach out to the right people for funds.

OJB who is suffering from kidney failure needs a transplant in India which is said to cost a sum of N16million naira has sought the help from the public to assist him in raising the money.

Juliet who said she runs a kidney disease foundation has questioned why they need $100,000 because according to her a kidney transplant should cost no more than $50,000.

Meanwhile some celebrities like P-Square and older brother Jude, donated 5million, 2Face Idibia donated N1.5million, Don-Jazzy donated 1million, Iyanya & manager, Ubi Franklin donated 1million. Mercy Johnson, Ruggedman and a few others have made generous donations to OJB.

See her message below

" I think it's about time I speak up on this OJB topic that most of you ignorant

 people are using to harass and insult celebrities. First , every celebrity has

 his/her own responsibilities and family to take care of. If a colleague is ill and

 needs help do we contribute in our own way to help out or which ever way we

 can. I don't see why you people can't help out as well? Who said your N1,000

 can't amount to something that can raise the sum needed for OJB's transplant?

 For you people tagging me in your tweets, I am sure you know I run a kidney

 disease foundation, hence I will know the exact cost of a kidney transplant in 

India. I have been quiet cus I have asked people in charge of OBJ broadcast to 

contact my foundation because I know a kidney transplant will not cost more than

 a 50k usd. Why are they requesting 100k when so many cheaper deals with hospitals 

out therein India even in Ghana can be worked out to save OJB's life? To get the 

necessary help, those in charge of OJB's fundraising should stop harassing celebrities 

for funds."

Various Artistes Raises Funds For OJB's Kidney Transplant

Don Jazzy has got to be the most generous Nigerian celebrity ever. A few weeks ago he gave a mutual friend of ours who has kidney issues, N1million.

I kinda asked the guy to ask Don Jazzy, and a few days later, he calls me to say IDJA gave him N1m. And today I found out that he has also donated N1million to prolific music producer, OJB Jezreel.

He did it quietly a few days back but when I found out, well, I just had to share it. And let's not forget the N2million he gave cancer patient Funmi Lawal last year and many things I hear he does very quietly.

God bless him. Also, thanks to Ruggedman who has also donated to OJB.                                        OJB Now calling on other artists to please do same. OJB Jezreel needs N15million for a kidney transplant in India. Meanwhile, Nigeria Hot Star 2Face has shown what the brother hood is all about, by donating The sum of 1.5 Million for the Kidney Transplant to OJB.

It was also revealed that some Group of Nigerian Musician are Organizing a Fund Raiser Show for OJB

This guy has done so much for music in Nigeria and had helped so many Nigerian artists achieve success. Now is the time to give back. Peeps don't you think so?

SHOCKING: Boko Haram Regroups!

Boko Haram insurgents in Borno State, dislodged by security forces in the wake of the emergency rule by President Goodluck Jonathan from their Sambisa Game Reserve camps, appear to be fighting back.

Sunday Vanguard was made to understand, yesterday, that they have not only regrouped, they have also sacked at least two major towns in the state.

One of the towns is Bama, where the insurgents struck in the weeks before Jonathan imposed the emergency rule in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states, killing 40 policemen, 13 prison warders, three soldiers and several civilians.

The other is Gwoza.

Bama and Gwoza, located along the Sambisa offshore, are said to be the strongholds of Boko Haram, the Islamist group fighting to impose Islamic values on Nigeria,

Choir Director Of Christ Embassy Church In Financial Mess

It is pitiful that issues relating to fraud poses as a recurring decimal even in churches. A recent story holds that an Ogudu Magistrates’ Court in Lagos on Friday struck out an application for the withdrawal of a N710, 000 fraud charge against a Choir Director of the Christ Embassy Church, Lagos.

The police had on May 15 arraigned the director, Sunday Eboh, who allegedly defrauded another member of the church, David Egaifa, under false pretences of helping him to purchase a Toyota bus.

Chief Magistrate Omolade Awope struck out the application when Egaifa exhibited ignorance of implications of the withdrawal. The complainant, who had earlier agreed with the accused to withdraw the suit, told court on Friday that he was not properly enlightened on the implications of withdrawing the case.

Mr. Egaife made this known after the prosecutor, Corporal Adekemi Adeniran, told him that he would not be able to bring back the case once withdrawn. “Madam, it is during this section that I learnt I can’t come back for the same case after withdrawal, but I was told that l can re-arrest Eboh if he refuses to pay my money.

Man Exposes His Boko Haram Son To JTF

A Maiduguri based businessman (name is not disclosed for security reasons) on Thursday turned in his biological son, a member of Boko Haram, to the Joint Task Force, JTF, with an order that he should be shot dead, witnesses said.

The son, according to close family sources, had once threatened to kill his father before he fled home and returned only recently; as security operatives continue to clamp down on the sect me. He was said to have returned as a prodigal son, seeking asylum in his father’s compound.

“After confessing all his crimes including how he participated in the killing of people and looting of banks to his father, the old man said he has no such conscience to keep a killer son in his home,” said the family member under anonymity.

The 60-year old Kanuri man who lives in Babban-Line Commercial Area, Maiduguri, simply approached the Sector Office of the JTF and told them about his son.

Witnesses quoted him as saying,

Shhhhh! UN Is About To Fight It's First War In Africa!

Millions have died as a result. And for years the outside world has done little more than shrug. Its main effort—a 14-year-old UN peacekeeping mission—has failed to end “Africa’s world war”, which started as an ethnic conflict sparked by the genocide next door in Rwanda before descending into murderous anarchy farther afield.

Now things are changing. The Rwandan government backed Congolese rebels until recently but, shamed by their cruelty and by international outrage, it has

PHOTO: Scientists Discovers Gate To Hell

It sounds like something out of a horror movie. But Italian scientists say that the “Gate to Hell” is the real deal—poisonous vapors and all.

The announcement of the finding of the ruins of Pluto’s Gate (Plutonium in Latin) at an archeology conference in Turkey last month, was recently reported by Discovery News. Francesco D'Andria, professor of classic archaeology at the University of Salento in Lecce, Italy, who has been excavating the ancient Greco-Roman World Heritage Site of Hierapolis for years, led the research team.

Omotola's Husband Claims Ownership Of Controversial Plane

A scrap plane formerly owned by the late Apostle Gabriel Oduyemi of Bethel Ministries, Ajah, Lagos, caused panic in the city on Thursday as rumour spread that another aircraft had crashed in Lagos.

It was learnt that the plane, which was recently released to Capt Matthew Ekeinde, husband of Nollywood star, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, was being dragged to Badagry area of the state before its tyre burst. The incident forced the new owner to dump the plane in a nearby filling station.

Hundreds of residents trooped out with their smart phones and camera, and queued behind the gate of Dapsey Oil filling station at Igando where the plane was parked.

A senior employee of the filling station said the plane, with registration number N972TF, was being towed from Muritala Muhammed Airport, Ikeja to Badagry when one of the tyres burst.

World Population To Hit 10.9 Billion By 2100 - UN Report

The world’s population will hit 7.2 billion next month and is projected to reach 10.9 billion by 2100, powered by births in poor countries, the United Nations said Thursday.

But, with the number of future global dwellers linked to fertility, the number at the end of the century could be as high 16.6 billion or even fall to 6.8 billion,, the UN said in its “World Population Prospects.”

Focusing on a conservative projection between these two, population growth is expected to be especially dramatic in the poorest parts of the world.

The population of developing countries is projected to rise from 5.9 billion in 2013 to 8.2 billion in 2050 and 9.6 billion 2100, the report said.

The poorest are projected to double in size from

Are Nigerian Politicians More Interested In Women?

Nigeria’s Professor of Political Economy and Management, Professor Pat Utomi, has slammed the country’s politicians for undermining the country’s democracy, saying they prefer women than they genuinely desire the development of the nation.

According to Prof. Utomi, the present crop of politicians in the country are more interested in sleeping with women than they are concerned about the country’s growth and progress when compared with the likes of the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo.

Former Governor Timipre Silva And President Jonathan

Former governor of Bayelsa State, Timipre Sylva, today breached President Goodluck Jonathan’s security, walking up to the Nigeria leader at the high table of a wedding party and shaking hands with him.

The occasion was the public wedding reception of a daughter of another former governor, Peter Odili. A security source told Sahara Reporters both the security and protocol of the President were taken aback by Mr. Sylva’s action, as he approached the high table while the president was already seated with other guests, however, they claimed they knew the president was not in any danger.

A source close to Mr. Sylva said he only went to greet his next-door neighbor and celebrant, Mr. Odili and that he (Sylva) used that opportunity to say " hello " to the President as a form of courtesy. " It was a chance meeting between the two, there is no reason to impute any motive, when Mr. President asked Sylva how he was doing he said he was still alive and left to his seat afterwards, " said the source that witnessed the incident.

Sylva, the former governor of Bayelsa State, is facing corruption charges initiated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

Mr. Sylva has repeatedly stated that his trial was motivated by his political disagreements with Mr. Jonathan. He was prevented from running for a second term in office by Mr. Jonathan, who then imposed upon the state as governor, his protege, Seriake Dickson.

Political observers say that today’s event also reflects the intricate connections between power and corruption in Nigeria. Odili is widely-known to have looted the resources of Rivers State during his tenure as governor, but has never been prosecuted because of a perpetual injunction he obtained for self-protection.

Although all of that information must be in the hands of President Jonathan, who claims to be fighting corruption, he chose to publicly take a seat at a wedding funded by proceeds of corruption

Nelson Mandela Is Sick, Hospitalized

The 94-year-old was being treated by a team of doctors at his home for a recurrence of a long-standing lung infection but in the early hours of this morning

Mandela

The decision was taken to transfer him to hospital after his condition deteriorated, the South African presidency said. Mac Maharaj, President Jacob Zuma's spokesman, said Mr Mandela's health was "serious this time," adding: "Every day that he gets older it gets more serious."

"The problem is that his infection reoccurred," he told The Telegraph. "At 1.30am today the doctors came to the conclusion that his condition had deteriorated enough that it warranted hospital treatment."

Mr Mandela is known to have been on and off a ventilator in recent months but is understood to be breathing on his own this morning.

His wife Graca, and other family members, are at his bedside in an undisclosed hospital in Pretoria, the nation's capital.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: My Fiance Wiped Away My Shame - Tiwa Savage

Among the many words that can describe Tiwa Savage’s sojourn in the Nigerian music industry, the most apt is ‘meteoric’. The reason is not far-fetched.

Just a few years back, Tiwa, amidst fear of the unknown, left the U.K where she already had everything going for her as a backup singer and songwritter for most UK’s high-flying artistes to build her music career in Nigeria.

Despite facing series of discouragements, she did not give up on her resolve to break new ground in the nation’s music industry. Today, she is one of the best things that ever happened to the industry. Come on board as she takes us on a journey into her life, her career and the man in her life.

Your debut album will drop any moment from now. What are your fans expecting from you?

Tiwa This album is straight from my heart and it’s something that I’ve worked so tirelessly for. A lot of people wondered why it took me so long a time to drop my own album. That’s because we had to go through a lot of legal processes to clear some of the samples that we used, and that took us some months.

Also, we wanted to work with notable producers outside the shores of the country like Oak who produces Rhinna. So,

There was anxiety in some parts of Kaduna, State Friday as the police condoned off the busy Junction Road, in the heart of the city, before safely detonating an Improvised Explosive Device, IED, concealed in a computer carton and strategically placed on the road.

The incident which took place around 3pm led to a major traffic gridlock, leading to the Kaduna main market even as traders hurriedly locked up their shops on adjoining streets and ran for their safety.

Confirming the incident, Kaduna State Police Command Spokesman, DSP Aminu Lawan told Saturday Vanguard, “This afternoon, some vigilant passers-by saw a suspicious carton at the Junction road and immediately called the police. Our anti-bomb squad were mobilised to the place and they confirmed that the computer carton was concealing an IED.

“The roads linking the Junction Road were condoned off while those nearby were evacuated. The bomb was then safely detonated. There was no injury of any kind. The bomb was not near any worship centre, as some people were insinuating. If anything, it was near the Unity Bank. “We want to thank these vigilant residents who called the police and we urge everyone to report any suspicious object, persons or movements.

“We call on Kaduna residents to go about their business because there is nothing to worry about.”

Jide kosoko's Daughter Disgraced In Ibadan

Nollywood actor, Prince Jide Kosoko's daughter, Bidemi Kosoko is presently a youth corp member at Ibadan, Oyo state, Nigeria.

However, many of her fellow corp members are currently complaining about her snobbish attitude and what some of them have termed as arrogance.

According to impeccable sources, whenever some of the other corp members who have seen her movies approach her just to say 'Hi', Bidemi has a way of looking down on them.

Why Buhari Cried In Public

Former military head of state, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) has said that he had to weep in public because of the hardships Nigerians suffer despite the enormous wealth the country is blessed with.

Buhari, who spoke in a radio interview in Kano yesterday, blamed the bad leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the country’s numerous woes.

“I joined politics on two grounds: first was, after I was out of the prison, people asked me to join politics, perhaps they saw the potential in me; the second was, the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 and the changes it brought about compelled me to join politics and based on multi-party system if justice will be done to all,” Buhari said.

He described as embarrassing the outcome of the recent election in the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) which is enmeshed in leadership tussle.

Relationship Tips: Practice Doing This And Problems Will Go Away

When you realize the problems you have in your relationship are the same problems, or the same kinds of problems, that have been plaguing you for a period of time, it's time to come at them from a new approach.

It's kind of like when you go to your local shopping center. You probably use the same street and entrance every time. But what if you decided to walk around to the other side and take a new entrance? You'd see stores that you knew were there, but they get your attention in a whole new way.

So what about that problem you keep having with your guy? Can you figure out a way to look at it from a different perspective... approach it from a different entrance?

Here are some tips to help you do that:

1. The goal should be to sort out, together, whatever is going on so this 'issue' is no longer an issue. You both need to agree that you care about each other and want this to no longer get between you.

2. So the rules should be set out that there will be no

Butt Implants: Are There Alternatives To It?

There was a point in time when the worst kind of insult you could aim at a woman was to tell her that her “behind” was too big.

In recent years, there has been a shift that has taken having a big behind from being undesirable to being one of the most common indicators of what it means to be attractive and sexy.

Arthur Perry, MD, a contributing expert on the Dr. Oz show believes that butt implants are one of a few procedures that he believes people should not have.

Below, is the information about the procedure and why it is not a good idea. He also shares a few quick tips for an alternative way to get great results without risking your health.

Búttock implants

These silicone wonders of science are written about more than they are implanted (at least in the United States).

Incisions are made close to the midline and silicone gel implants are placed over the muscle, but under the tough membrane that encloses the muscle. After the surgery, you are not supposed to sit on your buttocks for 2-3 weeks.
