Appearing before the Lupane resident magistrate, Ndumo Masuku, she also accused his husband of sleeping with other women from his congregation.     'Your worship, I’m sexually abused by this man as he last had sex with me in 2010.

 Actress Brown is a Nigeria-based Liberian Nollywood actress. She made the revelation in a recent interview with SunNews. According to her, older men are the real deal and are more suitable for marriage because of their wealth of experience. She said:     “Since I was a child I have been crushing ‎on him. I still look forward to seeing myself in the arms of Pete Edochie. I don’t mind the fact that he is married; he is my dream husband. I like the way he talks, walks and acts.     Nobody else can substitute him in my life right now. Not even his younger version, Yul Edochie; he doesn’t entice me. All I want is Pete and not his sons or look alike! I love him regardless of his age. Older men make good husbands.     Age is just a number. If I love a 70-year old man, I don’t see why I shouldn’t marry him. I don’t have time for small boys still running around and wearing studs in their ears with lots of chains hanging around their necks.”

Trump named Gorsuch as his nominee to fill the vacancy left after the death of conservative justice Anthony Scalia [EPA] US President Donald Trump has nominated Neil Gorsuch to the US Supreme Court, picking the 49-year-old to restore the court's conservative majority and shape rulings on divisive issues such as abortion, gun control, the death penalty and religious rights. The Colorado native faces a potentially contentious confirmation battle in the US Senate after Republicans last year refused to consider Democratic President Barack Obama's nominee to fill the vacancy caused by the February 2016 death of conservative justice Antonin Scalia. The Senate's top Democrat, Chuck Schumer, indicated his party would mount a procedural hurdle requiring 60 votes in the 100-seat Senate rather than a simple majority to approve Gorsuch, and expressed "very serious doubts" about the nominee. Liberal groups called for an all-out fight to reject Gorsuch, a staunch conservati

German police said they arrested three people in Berlin on Tuesday suspected of trying to reach foreign "war zones" in order to train to carry out an attack.

British authorities are set to deport a gay man to Nigeria on Tuesday night, despite fears he will be targeted and attacked on arrival due to his sexual orientation. The man, identified only as Oyekunle for his own safety, moved to London four years ago and claimed asylum due to the persecution of the LGBT community in his native Nigeria. He is set to be deported alongside a hundred others on a chartered flight leaving for Nigeria and Ghana from Stansted Airport this week. Speaking exclusively to RT, Oyekunle said he could not go back to Nigeria because friends and relatives had started harassing him due to his sexuality. The situation had become so unsafe he was forced to flee.     "I can’t go back. When I go back they will kill me," he said on the phone from Colnbrook Immigration Removal Centre. Campaigners from the Unity Centre, an asylum seekers’ support charity, are now urging supporters to call on the Home Office with Oyenkunle’s case number and complain about his dep

His torturers were his mother, Mrs. Akintunde, her brother Kayode and a policeman identified as Titus. Rilwanu alias Rado had denied collecting the money said to belong to his mother, a hawker, but his attackers didn’t believe him. Unable to bear the torture, the teenager passed out and was rushed to Richland Hospital, Arepo, where he was confirmed dead on Sunday evening. His torturers secretly buried him at his mother’s site at Sotel, not knowing that their action would draw the wrath of the residents of Oriola Street, Ibafo and environs after the money, for which Rilwanu was tortured to death, was later found in his mother’s closet. Wielding cutlasses, bottles sticks and fire, the youths in the area went berserk, stormed Kayode’s residence; chased all the tenants away and vandalized his properties. Inscriptions such as “Rado was a good son born by a stupid mother” were seen on the walls of the building whose roofs, doors and windows have been destroyed. When The Nation visited the

  Jan. 25: Palestinian men work at a construction site in the West Bank Jewish settlement of Ariel.  (AP) Israel announced plans Tuesday to build 3,000 more settlement homes in the West Bank settlements, Reuters reported, marking the third time the country announced similar plans since President Trump was sworn in. While Trump has signaled that he will be far more tolerant of Israeli settlement construction than his predecessors, he also has expressed a desire to broker a peace accord between Israel and the Palestinians, and siding closely with Israel on such a contentious matter could hurt U.S. credibility. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu repeatedly clashed with President Obama over settlement construction. Obama, like the rest of the international community, considered the building of settlements on occupied lands claimed by the Palestinians to be an obstacle to peace. Those tensions boiled over last month when the Obama White House allowed the U.N. Security Council to

Preliminary information extracted from some of the shabbily dressed children most of who could neither speak nor understand English, revealed that they were allegedly recruited for an Islamic education mission in Na

Abia State Governor, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu, has reiterated that he remains a loyal and committed member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. He spoke in response to claim by Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, that three Sout-East Governors are preparing to join the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC. Okorocha made the comment at a meeting of all APC leaders in the zone, held at the Imo International Convention Centre (IICC) on Saturday. But Ikpeazu, through his Chief Press Secretary, Enyinnaya Appolos, urged his loyalists, associates, Abians and all Nigerians to disregard the rumor that he was planning to defect to APC. “Governor Okezie Ikpeazu is not currently in the mood for party politics,” the CPS said in a statement made available to DAILY POST Monday night. “He is in the good governance mood with focus on delivering massive dividends of democracy to Abia electorate that voted massively for him in 2015 to become the 4th democratically elected governor of God’s Own State of Abi

The Rivers State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has expelled a member of the State House of Assembly representing Akuku Toru constituency II, Hon Benibo Fredrick Anabraba for anti-party activities. Anabrabra’s expulsion from the party was contained in a statement signed by its State Chairman, Davis Ikanya and sent to DAILY POST. In the letter, Ikanya explained that Anabraba was expelled after he refused to appear before the party’s State Working Committee, SWC, on three different occasions he was invited. Ikanya said the failure of the lawmaker to appear before the SWC indicated that he was “guilty of anti-party activities, guilty of disobedience and negligence in carrying out lawful directives of the party.” The statement entitled, “Expulsion from All Progressives Congress, APC, Rivers State Chapter for anti-party activities disobedience and negligence in carrying out lawful directives of the party” reads, “The State Working Committee (hereinafter referred to as SWC)

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, candidate in the September 28, 2016 governorship election in Edo State, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, has appealed to the Justice Ahmed Badamasi-led election tribunal to declare him winner of the poll having polled more votes than the State Governor, Godwin Obaseki. The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, had in September declared Godwin Obaseki, of the All Progressives Congress, APC, winner of the keenly-contested governorship election in the state. Following his loss at the the governorship election in the state, Ize-Iyamu and the PDP had filed a petition before the Justice Badamasi-led tribunal sitting in Benin, the Edo State capital, seeking to upturn the declaration of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC. Ize-Iyamu, who was led in evidence, on Monday, by Mallam Yusuf Alli, SAN, alleged that the election of Obaseki was invalid due to alleged corrupt practices. The PDP governorship candidate stressed that the state governo

West Ham United co-owner, David Sullivan, has claimed that departed midfielder, Dimitri Payet did not speak to his team-mates for up to eight weeks before he was allowed to leave the club. Payet, who left the Hammers early in the week to rejoin Olympique Marseille, has been accused of cutting off all contacts with his colleagues. The Frenchman returned to Marseille in a £25 million deal on Sunday  after refusing to lace his boot for Slaven Bilic’s side. The club owner revealed that the player’s behaviour prior to his transfer request showed that something was wrong. Sullivan told the BBC, “I think for the last six or eight weeks, he’s not been talking to anybody in the squad. “He’s gone to the corner of a room for his meals and isolated himself from everybody. “Before that, he was bubbly and happy, shakes everyone’s hand before the match. “Either it was a tactic or something in his head had changed. The team wanted him out. The manager, with the greatest reluctance, wanted him out. “

Tottenham manager, Mauricio Pochettino, has noted that it’s now almost impossible to stop Chelsea from claiming their fourth Premier League title if they win their next two fixtures against Liverpool and Arsenal. EPL leaders, Chelsea will be up against fourth-placed Liverpool at Anfield on Tuesday before welcoming their closest rivals Arsenal, who they sit eight points clear of, at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. Pochettino fears that Should Antonio Conte’s side take maximum points in both fixtures, the title race could be over. Pochettino, whose side stopped Chelsea’s winning run in December, said, “If they win both games it will be difficult to stop them. “We need to be focused on our game. The most important thing is to get the three points for us. And of course we could even be closer to Chelsea then.” Nevertheless, the Argentine expects his players to remain focused as they face Sunderland on Tuesday and Middlesborough five days later. He added, “If we win against Sunderland and Mi

Former Special Assistant to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan on New Media, Reno Omokri, has insinuated that Jonathan predicted the hardship Nigerians are going through during his campaign in 2015. Omokri added that he thinks Jonathan ‘is a prophet.’ Omokri in a post on his Facebook page shared a photo backed by a speech made by the immediate past president two years ago at Eagle Square in Abuja. The speech reads: “The choice before Nigerians in the coming election is simple. “A choice between going forward or going backwards; between the new ways and the old ways; between freedom and repression; between a record of visible achievements and beneficial reforms – and desperate power-seekers with empty promises.” He further wrote: “As the Naira hits $1 to ₦500, please take your time to carefully read Goodluck Jonathan’s warning to Nigeria two years ago.” DAILY POST had reported that the naira dropped against the United States dollar from 498 to 500 at the parallel market during the early t

Manchester United forward, Jesse Lingard, has declared that no team can beat the club at the moment. Lingard says confidence remains high in the Old Trafford camp as Jose Mourinho’s men continue to chase down four titles. The Red Devils’ 17-game unbeaten run was broken by Hull City in their EFL Cup last Thursday, but the 2-1 defeat was not enough to halt United’s progress into the cup final. They will face Southampton at the Wembley for the first silverware on offer this season in February. They are also through to the fifth round of the FA Cup and have a last-32 clash with French side, Saint-Etienne in the Europa League. United is also chasing a top-four finish in the Premier League, with just four points separating them from the Champions League spots presently. The 24-year-old England international told Sky Sports, “We’re still in four competitions so everybody is going to play. “I know all competitions are still tight. With that, we’ll take every game as it comes and we’re still

Federal Lawmakers from Cross River state under the aegis of Cross River Lawmakers Caucus have raised concern over the continued stay of Justice Samuel Onnoghen as acting Chief Justice of the Federation. At a press conference held in Abuja on Tuesday, the lawmakers explained that it was contrary to the1999 constitution as amended that the Chief Justice of Nigeria would be in acting capacity despite the National Judicial Council’s recommendation that he should assume a full fledged Chief Justice of the Federation. Caucus leader, Senator John Owan Enoh who was flanked by others raised fears that there may be something than meets the eye for the executive arm of government to have failed to forward his name for confirmation barely three months of his appointment in acting capacity. “Exactly two months and fifteen days, the presidency has delayed and withheld to forward his name to the Senate for confirmation as Chief Justice of Nigeria as required by Section 231(1) of the 1999 constituti

The Cross River State Police Command has arrested a 40-year-old man, Anyanime Festus, for allegedly poisoning his twin daughters after he accused them of killing his parents. Festus allegedly gave his 11-year-old twin daughters a black substance mixed with acid after which he took them to a bush path and made them drink it. Vanguard is reporting that the suspect, resident in Akampka Local Government Area of the state admitted that his daughters were witches.

For the second time, the Federal Government applied to the Federal High Court in Abuja for the protection of witnesses that will testify against the former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki in the charges of unlawful possession of firearms and money laundering brought against him. The fresh application to that effect was brought to court by Chief Oladipo Okpeseyi, SAN, who was recently engaged by the federal government to lead the prosecution. The motion dated January 23 and filed January 24 is insisting that the witnesses must be given protection by the court by not allowing their names and addresses to be made public in the course of the trial. But in a strong opposition to the fresh request, Dasuki asked the court to dismiss the government’s motion on the ground that it lacks merit and constituted a gross abuse of court process. The Ex-NSA in a counter affidavit filed by his lead counsel, Mr. Ahmed Raji argued that there was no justification for the Federal Government t

Scores of stakeholders in the Environment and Sanitation sector on Tuesday decried what they described as government insensitivity towards mentally challenged people in Osun State, DAILY POST reports. According to them, no single policy statement or initiative has been set in motion since the creation of the state to get these individuals off the street. An environmental activist in the state, Mrs Folashade Umar said successive governments in the state did not deem it fit to build any rehabilitation centre for lunatics. She said, “It is a common phenomenon in Osun to see different types of mentally deranged persons roaming the streets, including strategic areas within Osogbo, the state capital. “It is very unfortunate that a state like Osun did not build a single rehabilitation centre for mentally challenged persons, and no single efforts on the part of government to get them off the streets. “Even within Osogbo metropolis, there are many lunatics around the popular Ola-Iya junction,

Nigerian Rapper, Michael Ugochukwu Stephens, popularly known as Ruggedman has waded into the heated controversy on the planned protest by music legend, Tuface. He has come out to slam fellow artiste, Blackface for sharing and approving a post that criticized 2face for planning to lead a protest against the Buhari-led government. Blackface had earlier today shared a post on his Instagram page @blackfacenaija castigating 2face and describing him as an illiterate. The post was originally written by Dr Bunmi Awoyemi Divinewealth. The post reads: “LETS EDUCATE THE ILLITERATE AS HE LEADS THE PROTEST. I read Tuface Idibia’s verbal tirade in Vanguard in which he said he will be leading a protest against Buhari on the 5th of February for among other things not paying salaries of civil servants.I think he needs to be educated about the efforts of the Buhari administration: So far Buhari has released three bailout funds to the 36 states in Nigeria totalling over N1.5 trillion in the last 18 mon

The Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has taken a swipe at the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, saying the governor is playing politics with the lives of people of the state. Amaechi, who made the remark in a tweet on his twitter handle @ChibuikeAmaechi, said despite taking oath to protect lives and property, the governor has not lived up to the billing. “Wike took an oath to protect lives and property, yet he plays politics with the lives of Rivers people. Sad, very sad,” the Minister wrote. The Minister and Wike have always been at loggerheads for different reasons with the latest being the impounded helicopters belonging to the state government. Wike had recently alleged that he officially wrote to President Muhammadu Buhari, requesting that the two armoured helicopters bought by the immediate past administration in the state be handed over to the Nigerian Air Force. He explained that he wrote the letter following the high custom duty charged for the helicopters and t

The Centre for Social Justice, Equity and Transparency, CESJET, has urged the Spiritual Director, Adoration Ministry, Enugu State, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka and the Founder, Synagogue Church Of All Nations, SCOAN, Prophet TB Joshua to admonish their followers against adhering to the hate message of Apostle Johnson Suleman of the Omega Fire Ministries, OFM. Suleman has been in the news lately for allegedly calling on his members to kill any Fulani herdsman  found around him and his church. His message led to an invitation from the Department of State Services, DSS,  after it failed to arrest him  in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital last week Wednesday. In an open letter to Fr Mbaka and TB Joshua, titled “Hate Sermons: Urgent Need For Prayers and Understanding, In the Light of Prevailing Religious Tensions In Nigeria,” the group alleged that Suleman was acting out a “script of external enemies by inciting Christians in Nigeria into a religious war.” The letter reads, ”We send you fraterna
