These are a few of the times she was threatened to be sued and why. 1.  Maje Ayida When the news erupted that Ayida had impregnated his ex-girlfriend even while married to Toke who is yet to conceive, the social media went on fire with the gist. However, in a twist to events, a new Twitter handle @MajeAyida emerged and was tweeting about the occurrences, denying that Maje ever cheated on Toke Makinwa. It couldn't be confirmed if the account is really owned by Toke Makinwa’s husband. "@lindaikeji you had no right to publish false information.

The NBA star was found at the Love Ranch South, a legal Nevada brothel that is part of Dennis Hof’s sex empire.    On Tuesday afternoon, former NBA star Lamar Odom was found unconscious inside the owner’s suite of the Love Ranch South—a legal brothel in Crystal, Nevada. He is on life support at a Las Vegas hospital.   According to a 911 call released Wednesday evening, employees at the brothel claim that Odom had been partying there since Saturday, and had been ingesting large quantities of cocaine, cognac, and up to 10 herbal performance-enhancing supplements. On Monday night, brothel spokesman Richard Hunter says, Odom had a strange request: He ordered the two prostitutes he was partying with, Ryder Cherry and Monica Monroe, to leave him alone, and when they returned the following day, he was unresponsive. When they turned him on his side, Odom was revealed to be bleeding from his nose, with a pinkish, mucus-y fluid dripping from his mouth. Odom, a 6-foot-10 t

According to Tenisha's godmother Louella Hatch, as police were taking her away, she said “the devil is in her,” Neighbors described a chaotic scene before the sickening drop, with building residents yelling at the deranged naked woman when she began throwing household items out the window.   They screamed in terror and called 911 when they saw her bring the baby to the window. "She threw a baby out the window!" one witness screamed. Then, in a bizarre, ritualistic scene, Fearon lay on the floor surrounded by her other three children: two girls and a boy who were also naked and lying on their backs, according to next-door neighbor Gregorio Lopez. Lopez, 47, ran to th

BABCOCK University, Ilishan-Remo, Ogun State recorded another milestone last Thursday, as the first heart surgery was performed in the institution’s Teaching Hospital, by its doctors.

A former governor of Bayelsa State, Diepreye Solomon Peter Alamieyeseigha, is dead. He was 63. Mr. Alamieyeseigha died Saturday at the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, where he had been in coma for days.

Prague's astronomical clock is more than half a millennium old, and is the oldest functional clock of its kind in the world. Google has celebrated its anniversary with a Google Doodle The ornate clock, known as the Orloj, is one of Prague's most recognized touristic spectacles, and is located in the Old Town Square in the center of the city. Its hourly shows draw curious visitors from all over the world, where 12 apostles emerge from two windows to nod at the crowds below. Other allegorical figures include Death, as a skeleton holding an hourglass, a miser with a purse of coins, a Turk shaking his head and Vanity peering into a mirror. The 12 zodiac medallions below the clock face itself were added by Josef Manes in 1865. "Despite over a half a millennium of wear and a brush with disaster in WWII, much of its original machinery remains intact, making it the oldest functioning clock of its kind in the world," Google said. "Today’s Doodle h

Diezani Alison-Madueke is receiving treatment for cancer in the United Kingdom, according her lawyer. Mr. Oscar Onwudiwe said in a statement that the former Minister of Petroleum Resources, who was arrested last week in London on corruption-related offences, began the treatment for cancer in the UK while she was in office. Although he did not say what form of cancer she was diagnosed with, he added, “The health crisis has unfortunately exacerbated in recent times.” For most of her tenure in Petroleum, Mrs. Alison-Madueke was the subject of unflattering investigations by the media, some of them reporting her lavish champagne-and-chartered jet lifestyle.  She was also the subject of investigations in the federal legislature, but she continued to deny being involved in any corrupt deals.  She was reportedly trying to be trying to buy a luxury mansion in one of Britain’s most exclusive locations last week when she was arrested. In May that Mrs. Alison-Madueke somehow

If you’ve been waiting to upgrade your iPhone, the time has arrived. Apple unveiled the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus Wednesday during an event in San Francisco. The newest versions of the smartphones become available for pre-order this Saturday, then officially go on sale on Sept. 25. As expected, the phones are more incremental upgrades from last year’s models rather than completely new. That said, they both have a number of new features that make them well worth an upgrade if you’re due for one. Apple also unveiled a new way to buy the phones which will make upgrading all the more easier in the future. 3D Touch The biggest upgrade Apple announced for the phones is 3D Touch. Similar to the Force Touch feature on the Apple Watch, 3D Touch allows you to access certain features and shortcuts based on how hard you press on your phone's screen. For instance, rather than tapping and opening the Maps app when you need to get directions home, you can instead press on the icon and

According a report by the Telegraph UK , our dear country Nigeria has been listed as one of the most dangerous places to drive in. The report discloses that Nigeria has about 33.7 per cent road fatalities per 100,000 inhabitants per year which is an alarming figure. According to the report titled, ‘Mapped: The world’s most dangerous places to drive’, Libya records the highest road fatalities in Africa with 40.5 per cent. The report said, “Most of the bottom 10 — including Eritrea, the deadliest driving destination, according to the World Health Organisation’s figures, with 48.4 deaths per 100,000 residents; Libya, 40.5; and Iraq, 31.5 – are unlikely to feature on the travel itineraries of most Britons. “But a couple – Thailand, 38.1, and South Africa, 31.9 — are popular holiday destinations.

A Nigerian pastor has been spotted preaching to congregants while standing on top of a  hummer jeep in Aba, Abia State. Eyewitness Chinedu Ozordi who shared the picture captioned it: “No it’s not a rapper, it’s a pastor. In Aba.” From the picture, there appears to be a stage behind him while his bodyguard manned the door of the car as the clergyman ministered the word of God. Swag!

Emeka Ike has called out Pastor Chris Okotie again calling him an Anti-Christ. Emeka in an interview with The Cable, said the pastor’s response to him through his media aide shows all he said about him was nothing but the truth.   He said, ‘ I think his (Okotie’s) comment is a clear indication that he lacked the evidence to fault my allegation. Is Pastor Okotie well-known and popular as I am? How can he say he will not dignify me with a response? His comment actually confirmed my suspicion that my wife is being manipulated either through blackmail or spiritual enchantment to say she was opting out of her marriage after 12 years. For instance, at the last proceeding on the divorce suit, my wife said it in the open court that she was willing to abandon her four children and go out of the marriage. Which woman will say she was abandoning her four children if not under a spell? It is clear to me that Okotie is not a pastor but an Antichrist,’ Emeka said.' Culled
