PHOTO: Flying wizard who claims he crash-landed on his way to a meeting.

According to Daily guide.

A man believed to be in his 70s, who claimed to be a wizard, was on Wednesday found on the banks of the Okrudu River at Kaimebre, a settlement near the Kasoa New Market in the Central Region Ghana.

The man, who gave his name as Charles Atta, looked frail, pale and bore protruding breasts like that of a teenage girl.His body was smeared with mud from the bank of the river where he was found by two brothers, Liberty Obeng and Innocent Obeng, who claimed they found the strange man crying for help.

The two brothers told Daily Guide reporters that the self-acclaimed wizard confessed to them that he was in the company of colleagues, including a medical doctor and were flying to Cape Coast for a meeting when he was forced down.According to him, they were flying over a church where an all-night vigil was being held when he crash- landed at Servant Kings International School.

“When we asked him where he was coming from, Atta told us that he was from Akuapem Akropong but was flying to Cape Coast to attend a meeting for witches and wizards,” he said.

Charles also confessed that the two puffy protrusions on his chest were breasts taken from his 16-year- old granddaughter and that he normally borrowed them for his night activities.The two brothers said they were initially confused and bewildered by the weird sight of the man, and not knowing what to do him took him to Pink FM, a local radio station at Kasoa for help.

When the strange announcement was made on radio, hundreds of people besieged the premises of the radio station to see the suspected wizard.Upon hearing the news, the Kasoa District Police dispatched a number of police personnel to the station to save the victim from being lynched.Superintendent Samuel Tabril Punobyin told the paper that the police did not investigate spiritual matters and that the suspected wiz-ard could therefore not be charged.

He said the police would look for the family of the man and hand him over to them. Charles Atta is still in the custody of the Kasoa Police

Empress Njamah comments on Timaya's diss for her.

I'm not a fan of Empress Njama oh! But I must commend her very matured reply to her Ex, Timaya who recently went ranting in an interview, saying that dating Empress had a negative impact on his music career.

Punch recently contacted the actress to speak on Timaya’s comments. In the phone conversation, she revealed “People who are mature can depict what is true and what is not. I am not ready to say anything.”

On if the comment bothers her: “Why would it bother me? It is one thing to be hurt over such statement and another thing to be disappointed. I wasn’t hurt and I wasn’t even disappointed. Worst things have been said and written about me but the people who know who I am would tell the difference.”

She also revealed that she is more interested in her life at the moment rather than talking about “what doesn’t make sense”.

“I am more involved with my birthday and celebrating it with the orphans and the less privileged. I am better off talking about this than to talk about what is not important. I am too busy making money. People who know you will always know how positive you have affected their lives. I am surrounded by so many people who have shown me love so there is no reason for me to be pained.”

“Too busy making money” Yikes! Empress sure knows how to reply statements.

T.B. Joshua opens up on Jim Iyke's deliverance.

Pastor TB Joshua in a rare interview with Punch opened up on Jim Iyke and allegations that he pays people to come and fake miracles.He also said God queries him when he invites presidents to his church

 

On Jim Iyke

Oh please, don’t drag me into that. All I can say is that if a person needs to see a doctor, he should be free to do so. I like the young man. He has been defending himself on the internet. Is he not enjoying a better life now? Are things not working for him?

On allegations he pays people to fake miracles 

 How much will I give to the president of a nation to come here? Even when they come, I don’t get any financial gain but I incur cost because I want to ensure that they are well cared for. That is all; I even prefer to spend my time with the poor than to be with the presidents. If a president visits this place today, the whole of the day will be devoted to that visit, I would have lesser time for the poor people, who need my attention. God has been warning me over this trend so much that when some presidents said that they wanted to visit me, I said no.

 I said it would be better for me to visit them in their countries. Each time they visit this place, I receive query from God because of my time that should have been used to attend to the poor and the needy that are waiting for me. One soul is not superior to the other, why should I continue to receive query? Really out of three presidents that may visit, there will hardly be one that will show good example of the counsel that they received from me. If the needy are more receptive to God, it is better to give them more of my time.

Saheed Balogun drags ex-wife, Fathia Balogun to court over refusal to drop his name.

 
They were the picture perfect couple especially in the Yoruba movie scene...Years after their separation, Saheed Balogun has reportedly dragged Fathia Balogun to court for refusal to drop his name. According to Vanguard, he had wanted her to drop his last name along time ago but she was adamant. He said

“She is my ex. As for my name that she is still answering, the deed will be done soon. The Nigerian law says that after three or four years, you can do something about it. If somebody wants to keep my name, what of the new person coming in? This has nothing to do with grudges.”

However, When asked after their publicized split Fathia said 

 I laugh, my name is Fathia Balogun and it’s going to remain Balogun; nobody can ever change that and nobody can stop me from answering that name.” 

Lol but is there anything wrong if she wants to keep the name?

Why I initially denied my son- Ice Prince.

Last week it was 9ice giving reasons why he denied his twin girls at first.Now it's Ice Prince. Recall Wizkid also denied his baby boy at first..Here is what he told Showbiz plus

 It was complicated back then, I didn’t really know what was happening and I wasn’t sure of certain things. So the best I had to do then was denying it and sort out things first. Now I know he is my child and I have done everything as a father ever since.

On his baby Mama

 I speak with her often and it is usually about the baby. That is all for now.

ASUU dares FG over sack.

Academic Staff Union of Nigerian Universities [ASUU], Calabar Zone, has reacted angrily to the order to return to the classrooms issued to them by the Supervising Minister of Education, Nyesom Wike, saying that the action would worsen the strike action rather than solving the problem.

ASUU accused the minister of deceiving  President Jonathan on the crisis, alleging that Wike and some other unnamed officials of the Government did not want the lingering problem between the union and the Federal Government to be resolved.

According to the zonal coordinator of ASUU Calabar zone, Dr. Charles Ononuju, with such threat the crisis would linger far longer than expected.

In a statement in Umuahia,. Ononuju said that the union received with shock the pronouncement by the supervising minister, saying the crisis could not be resolved that way.

“We received with shock the pronouncement of by the Supervising Minister of Education, Wike, that lecturers should resume work or be sacked”, Ononuju said.

He said that the union had gone far with discussion on how to resolve the crisis and was waiting for President Goodluck Jonathan’s reply to their letter after their meeting when the minister came up with the “unfortunate” pronouncement.

“Sacking lecturers will not solve the problem but will compound it. Wike should resign and come to the university and teach. This is not the way to go if they go this way, the crisis will not be resolved in the next 100 years”, he warned.

Boko Haram recruits children for attack.

According to reports from the Punch,

The Human Rights Watch has said that the Boko Haram sect now uses children as young as 12 years old in its attacks.

The group said in a statement released in Abuja on Friday that even though the sect has abducted scores of women and girls in the last four years, Nigerian security forces too have not been able to account for hundreds of young detainees.

This HRW’s comment is a result of a nine-day visit to Kano and Maiduguri in November 2013.

The group said, “The rise of an anti-Boko Haram ground allied with the Nigerian security forces – the so-called civilian joint task force – has added a worrisome dimension to the violence.

“Human Rights Watch interviewed more than 60 victims and witnesses, as well as medical personnel, members of local rights groups, civilian joint task force commanders and government officials.

“The commanders of the civilian joint task force said they had rescued 26 abducted women and girls from a Boko Haram stronghold in Maiduguri and later in Sambisa forest. Some of the women and girls were pregnant. Others had babies.

“Some witnesses said they saw children in the ranks of Boko Haram during attacks.

Human Rights Watch also observed children who appeared to be aged 15-17 manning checkpoints for the civilian joint task force in Maiduguri.”

The group said for a sect claiming to be religious, the Boko Haram tactics “are the most profane acts we can imagine.”

The group said it witnessed arbitrary detention by security forces during its visit.

It said arrests took place in markets, mosques and other locations where young men were known to gather.

“Family members and witnesses described how often after Boko Haram attacks, members of the security forces indiscriminately rounded up and arrested boys and young men in the vicinity,” HRW said.

Jude strikes a pose with his brothers at the ChannelO party in South Africa.

Well I guess it's about that time for Jude to maturely tell his fans that their family is inseparable and not even a woman can break that cord between them, as he struck a pose with the twins and Naeto C at the ongoing Channel O party in South Africa. See the awesome picture below...

I still don't understand why Oga Dan fell off a chair O! was it that the performance he was watching was so poor or so fantastic and the chair had to throw him off, or wasn't he given the right size of chair to carry his weight? Any ways, please see the picture of Oga Dan "yakata" on the ground below...

Peter Okoye reacts to family issues rumour.

Peter Okoye in a new interview with Encomium has denied the stories that his family members were not in support of his marriage to wife Lola.

Or that that was the reason his elder brother Jude didn’t attend his wedding.

In the chat, Peter said:

• Is there any iota of truth in the tale that your family didn’t support the wedding?

That is very far from being the truth. I saw some of those reports and was full of laughter. Everybody is just laughing because the reports are like comedy to us. Honestly,
there is no iota of truth in the rumour. But it’s one of the prices you pay as a celebrity, so I remain focused.

• How would you describe your wife?

Honestly, she is a wonderful woman. She has virtually all the qualities that every man would want in his ideal woman. She’s caring, loving, God-fearing, hard working – just name it, that’s my wife for you.

• What are the sterling qualities that endeared her to your heart?

I just said that now. No man will not want to spend the rest of his life with a woman that possesses the qualities I mentioned.

• Why was the wedding delayed till now despite you having all it takes to be a husband?

The truth is that we have always known that the wedding will come up. We just didn’t want to rush things unnecessarily. We waited for the right time.

• Entertainers are not used to keeping one woman, how is your own case going to be different?

Entertainers don’t keep one woman? I don’t think so.

Wale explains why he had never visited Nigeria till now

In a radio chat with Toolz on Beatfm yesterday, Wale said the reason he’s never been to Nigeria until now was because his parents, who are both from Ondo state, were so poor they couldn’t afford a bring him home.

“I grew up poor. We lived in DC, in the projects. Getting a ticket to Nigeria on $20, 000 income yearly, to my family that wasn’t really… you know…like I was a 15 year old with a decent job, I’m not going to save up to go to Nigeria. That wasn’t what I was thinking when I was that age. And then I was in college and the money tight right then. And then I get this record deal when I dropped out of school, you’re running around so much you don’t even have time to see your own parents”.

Nicki Minaj has been holding it down with one man Safaree Samuels (boyfriend, hype-man & manager), since she hit the limelight. The reason isn't far-fetched, He was the one who believed in her before she became Nicki of today. He hustled with her mix-tapes and struggled to get her deals before Lil Wayne came across one of her songs in a mix-tape... The rest is history.

You see him in all her videos and trips together... In fact when she first hit gold back in 2011, she bought matching Bentleys for the both of them

Goat delivers human-like baby.

Wonders they sat shall never end.

According to reports...

The sleepy town of Ogotun-Ekiti in Ekiti SouthWest Local Government Area of Ekiti State was on Tuesday thrown into confusion when information filtered that a goat had delivered a human-like baby goat.

The spokesperson of the community, Sunday Ogunmeji, who spoke with a correspondent on behalf of the Baale (community head), Ganiyu Adetoun, said a pastor, Daniel Odedele, helped to deliver the goat of the baby.

If your man is promiscious, Here's the solution.

I thought it was a joke but it is sure real cause I've made my research. Ladies, if you don't want your man to cheat, just get him one (probably as a birthday gift, it is sold for about $150) and slip it on, then hold the key... Or like a friend said, do it while he's asleep hehehe... If your man says no to this, he is a confirmed cheat lol.
