Stop posting photos of your meeting with James Ibori- ex Delta state gov, Emmanuel Uduaghan, tells Delta state politicians

Former Delta state governor, Emmanuel Uduaghan, has asked Delta state politicians to stop sharing photos of their meeting with recently released ex governor of the state, James Ibori. Uduaghan stated this in a post he shared on his facebook wall.

Udughan in his post wrote.


“For those going to London to see Chief James Ibori and posting pictures and making statements, please stop it. We appreciate your love for him. But you can go quietly without the unnecessary publicity. You are creating problems for him that you can never imagine. Nigeria is a complex country and you must understand and respect people’s sensibilities”.Many politicians from the state have stormed the UK to felicitate with Ibori after he was released from a UK prison where he served jail term for stealing $250 million from Delta state while he served as governor between 1999-2007.

Sultan says women can’t be equal to men in Nigeria because it is against Islamic teachings

The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammadu Abubakar, has called on the Nigerian Senate not to consider the bill seeking gender equality in inheritance because of its religious implications.

The sultan said this while speaking at the closing ceremony of the 20th Zamfara State annual Qur’anic recitation competition.

According to him, the bill is unacceptable to Muslims because it is against Islamic teachings.

"Our religion is our total way of life; therefore, we will not accept any move to change what Allah permitted us to do... Islam is a peaceful religion; we have been living peacefully with Christians and followers of other religions in this country. Therefore, we should be allowed to perform our religion effectively.” He said.
The bill proposes that widows should have custody of their children, except if it is contrary to their welfare. The bill also seeks for widows to be allowed to inherit a fair share their husband's property,
be allowed to live in their matrimonial home and also remarry any man of their choice.

Meanwhile, Nigerians on Twitter have expressed outrage over his proclamation, stating that Nigeria is not a Sharia country and as such our constitution should not be guided by the Quran. See a few tweets below.

Tiny Harris files for divorce from T.I. after 6 years of marriage

T.I.'s wife, Tiny Harris, has filed for divorce from the rapper after 6 years of marriage and 3 children together. Tiny filed legal documents for divorce at the Superior Court of Henry County in the state of Georgia on December 7. Read TMZ's report below:

"We're told the rapper and Tiny had been going through a rough patch that started several months before an awkward photo surfaced showing Tiny pictured with the rapper's nemesis, Floyd Mayweather, and Mariah Carey at her Halloween party.
At the time, Tiny chalked to pressure into taking the photo next to the guy T.I.'s had beef with in the past. You'll recall the rapper and Floyd were involved in a crazy brawl on the Vegas strip back in 2014.

Despite the divorce filing the pair were amicable as they spent Christmas together. Tiny took to her Instagram to share an adorable video of T.I. watching over their nine-month-old daughter Heiress driving a toy car.

This video is too funny of @heiressdharris & @troubleman31 👑💜 #MySunshine

Khloe Kardashian's boyfriend, Tristan Thompson, is not named on his son's birth Certificate

Tristan Thompson who just became a father when his ex girlfriend, Jordan Craig gave birth to their son on Dec. 12th in LA isn't named on his new son's birth certificate. On the birth certificate obtained by TMZ, Jordan lists herself as the mother but the space for the other parent (father) was left blank. Even though she didn't list Tristan as the father of her baby, their son, Prince, has the last name Thompson.

The reason she didn't name Tristan as the father of their son is because in California, the father has to be present at the hospital in order to be named on the initial birth certificate.
However, the same rule makes it possible to add the name of the father later.

Initial reports said Khloe Kardashian flew Tristan in from Cleveland to witness the birth of his son, but maybe he missed it after all.

He has made it known that he wants to be involved in his son's life and Khloe seems to support him. However, he spent Christmas with Khloe while his baby mama and their son spent Christmas by themselves.

Fayose orders payment of N140m severance package to former dead, living public-office holders from 1999-2008

Ekiti state governor, Ayo Fayose, has approved the payment of N140m severance package due to former dead and living elected-public-office holders at the local government level in the state. According to a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, Fayose said the beneficiaries of the severance include former chairmen of local governments, council secretaries, councilors as well council advisers elected into office in 1999, 2006 and 2008‎.

He gave the order for the payment during a meeting he held with them on Monday December 26th. Adelusi quoted Fayose as directing that families of those already dead must also be paid the entitlements of their deceased ones.

“The governor felt that despite the economic challenges we are facing as a state, we feel it is our duty to honour those who had served our state in the past. They had contributed their own quota to the development of our state; therefore, families of those that are already dead should be paid too. The ‎exercise has nothing to do with politics and must be fairly shared. We already made some payments some months ago and we are again doing this now. If this had been done in the past, the backlog would not have been a burden on us now, if not for the financial challenges we are facing, we would have paid everything at a go” he said
