The singer claimed that now, he could converse with at least 13 presidents.
He said, “When I released the song ‘Back then’, I did not know that it was going to be that big.
“Then I went back to school and the love that I was shown was overwhelming, let alone the way girls began to treat me.

“That one song with the video made my father realise that I had the talent. And then, I did the song, ‘Dami Duro’.
“The song became so big and I remember that the President at the time called my father to talk about me and the song.

“Even during my father’s business meetings with his friends, they would mention my name and the song. Before long, I started travelling and doing shows around the world.

“Now I have the numbers of about 13 presidents on my phone and if I call them, they would answer the call. Then the award came and it set me on another level.”

#BBNaija – Day 19: Love Quad, Never Cross The Chef and More Highlights


Did you watch day 19 of the Big Brother Naija 3 reality show?

If you missed it, we’ve got the highlights for you!

..

The Love Quad

Leo the lion

Upon entering the House, Leo described himself as a fiercely protective lion, and the man has lived up to his caring disposition. People have a way of soothing when he is around, and girls particularly confide in him, not feeling any of the intimidation they feel from some other males.

Close to midnight, Queen Khloe and Leo shared a genuine one-on-one, a skill Leo said he learned from being raised in a single-parent home headed by his mother. Theirs was a really soft and fluffy chat that nonetheless turned out sour for Khloe.

Unrequited love

As the discerning and tactful Head of House that she is, Khloe asked Leo if he liked Anto, and he nodded that he did appreciate her, though in a non-physical manner he added. Khloe tried to extract information from him without burning too much of her secret, and slipped into the conversation that she liked Leo, a move that sadly backfired on her.

Leo admitted to have growing feelings for Alex, but that he was at odds with himself as he described his emotions as ‘platonic’ for now. In a brilliant, lion-hearted fashion, Leo also said he thought Alex was a fragile heart, and he didn’t want to play it like Teddy A and BamBam.

Leo said he liked Alex for her genuineness, Alex’s emotions are transparent for all to see as she cries rivers of happiness, sadness or anger. She truly does wear her heart on her sleeve with her love language being physical touch. Alex has been very tactile whether with guys or girls, which may explain why some Housemates have complained that she invaded their private space. At the core, Alex is also falling for Leo.

Curiosity killed the cat, for Khloe was forced to conceal her disappointment, and moreover had to resign herself to the fact that K.Brule was burning for her attention. In summary, K.Brule likes Khloe who likes Leo who likes Alex, how do you think this love square will play out?

Never Cross The Chef

Queen Khloe must have gotten off on the wrong foot as she took the unusual decision to prepare lunch for the House.  Perhaps it was a distraction from having been turned down by Leo the night before.

So she walked into the kitchen to spice, marinate and fry chicken for her peers, with foodie Ifu Ennada keeping her company, or rather nibbling and restlessly hopping about on the spot. The smell of the drumsticks cooling on the counter drew Teddy A to the kitchen like a magnet, and he was soon followed by Nina and other rumbling stomachs who attempted to flatter her into allowing them to take a bite from the , which forced Queen Khloe to slap the spatula hard and demand that everyone leave the room.

When she had finally finished her cooking, Khloe covered the dishes and set them aside for later. But Biggie had something else in mind for the Housemates lunch. He wanted to reward them for winning their very first Wager, and had Ninjas deliver buckets of fast-food and soft drinks to the exhilarated Housemates.

The sight of grilled chicken accompanied by French fries didn’t go down well with Khloe. Surely food one has not slaved over tastes better, yet she took it as a personal affront to her cooking prowess given she had also prepared a chicken dish. In a moment of silent rage, she refused to eat with her pals. She totally snubbed them and took her slow-burning indignation to bed instead, which is always the best way to deal with setups when things have turned from bad to worse.

None of the satiated Housemates seemed to have taken notice of her disappearance, and none seemed to be prepared for the Queen’s backlash for hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, and Khloe has proven she never misses her targets when she is on fire.

What do you think will be her retaliation?

Man’s Not Hot!

You know what they say about that boy in primary school that’s always bothering a poor girl and calling names? The ‘I like you but I don’t know how to tell you’ syndrome that eats away at all of us as some point; that’s exactly what Angel seems to have been suffering from. Talking about Ahneeka’s awkwardness and never failing to state the obvious about her acne, even coining the term ‘acneeka’. Classic.

Rosy Ahneeka

Although she’s had her fair share of blurts and air fist fights, Ahneeka is probably one of the least controversial of the Housemates because she’s certainly managed to keep her calm and play it rosy, earning herself the ‘House sweetheart’ title. Firstly being a victim of rejection in Dee-One sweaty palms and not quite fitting into the Rinneka (Rico Swavey, Ahneeka) equation; she’s managed to bounce back and pounce.

Angel’s Indirect Advances

There have been quite a few instances where Angel mentioned just how much Ahneeka wanted him but was too ‘shy’ to admit it. Too many to understate as few actually. He’s even brought it up with Ifu Ennada when she asked him about the under sheet fondling she witnessed in the House just the other day, to which he simply responded “you’re making things up”. It’s pretty obvious that he’s full-on into Ahneeka and his ‘shy boi side mention‘ behavior seems to have absolutely no momentum. We don’t blame the girl for brother-zoning him.

Too Swavey for Rico Swavey

Ahneeka’s sexual appeal seems to have risen from zero to a hundred real quick, even forcing Rico Swavey to invent a spark and have him try to escape the ‘Pair-zone’ he’s been locked in. During one of their gists about Dee-One and Vandora, Rico Swavey couldn’t help but notice just how sexy Ahneeka looked in the side-boob steeze she spotted and witnessing the perk action that took place between her and Vandora seemed to increase the temperature in there. He even proposed some fondling but because ‘man’s not hot’, Ahneeka clapped back and sealed the cookie jar even more, putting him back into the ‘pair-zone’ prison, with no chances of parole.

Roses are red and violets are blue, spirits are high and the temperature too. Will Ahneeka crack and need some affection?

Six Journalists Sentenced To Life Imprisonment Over Failed Coup


A court in Istanbul on Friday sentenced six Turkish journalists to aggravated life imprisonment each over their alleged involvement in a failed coup in July 2016, local media reported.

The defendants, including Turkey’s well-known journalists Nazli Ilicak, Ahmet Altan and Mehmet Altan, were charged with trying to remove the constitutional order, the state-run Anadolu news agency reported.

Turkey believes that the coup attempt, in which 250 people were killed, was orchestrated by the network led by the U.S.-based Turkish cleric Fethullah Gulen.

No fewer than 150,000 officials and officers have been dismissed or suspended from their posts while over 55,000 others arrested in the ongoing investigation and crackdown.

Roger Federer Breaks Agassi’s Record – Becomes Oldest World No1 After Beating Robin Haase


Roger Federer has broken Andre Agassi’s record as the oldest top-ranked player in tennis history after defeating Robin Haase in the World Tennis Tournament quarter-finals in Rotterdam.

The 36-year-old Swiss, who won his 20th grand slam title last month by claiming a sixth Australian Open, replaced Rafael Nadal at the top of the ATP rankings with a 4-6, 6-1, 6-1 victory over the Dutchman.

Literally, it means that he will surpass Nadal as No.1 when rankings are updated on Monday and beat Agassi’s record by three years (the American was 33 years, 131 days, back in 2003).

    Apparently I’m the oldest tennis player with a #1️⃣ ranking. Somebody might have mentioned that to me already but I had a hard time hearing 👴🏻

    — Roger Federer (@rogerfederer) February 16, 2018

Federer will also extend his record for most weeks as No.1 to 303.

    “Reaching No 1 is one of, if not the ultimate achievement in our sport,”an emotional Federer said on court immediately after the match.

    “Sometimes at the beginning you just kind of get there because you played so well but later you have to fight for it and have to wrestle it back from someone who deserves to be there. When you are older you maybe have to put double the work in. This maybe means the most to me in my career.”

Agassi was 33 when he was last on top in September 2003.

The American was quick to congratulate Federer:

    36 years 195 days…@RogerFederer continues to raise the bar in our sport. Congratulations on yet another remarkable achievement!!

    — Andre Agassi (@AndreAgassi) February 16, 2018

Federer’s return to the top spot will be formally rubber-stamped when the men’s tour rankings are published on Monday.

Federer also beats the mark set by the record holder in the women’s game, Agassi’s compatriot Serena Williams, who was 35 when she was last No 1 in May 2017.

BREAKING! Boko Haram: 15 Killed As Suicide Bombers Attack Borno Market


No less than 15 people have been confirmed dead while 18 others sustained injuries after three suicide bombers struck at a market in Konduga, Borno state, on Friday.

Speaking with TheCable, a resident who witnessed the incident, Bulama Kaka, said it occurred around 7pm.

     “We all ran for safety after the first thunderous blast occurred. Many people I know were killed in the attack,” he said.

In his narration, an official of the State Emergency Management Agency disclosed that the victims with minor injuries were receiving treatment at a hospital in Konduga.

He added that those who lost their lives and people in critical condition have been moved to the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital and Maiduguri general hospital.

While no group has claimed responsibility for the incident, the mode of the attack bears the hallmarks of Boko Haram, a jihadist group which frequently uses suicide bombers, often women and girls, to attack crowded public spaces such as mosques and markets.

Friday’s attack is coming barely a day after the Army placed a bounty of N3 million on the shadowy leader of the Islamic sect Abubakar Shekau.

    “The Nigerian Army will give out Three Million Naira (N3,000,000.00k) cash reward for any credible information that leads to the arrest of Abubakar Shekau, the fugitive factional Boko Haram terrorists’ group leader.

    “Anybody with such credible information can either contact the Military Command and Control Centre, Operation LAFIYA DOLE, any military location, security agencies or call the Nigerian Army Information and Call Centre 193,” a statement issued by Usman Sani, Army spokesman, on Thursday had said.

Chelsea Can’t Afford To Sell Eden Hazard- Ray Wilkins


Ray Wilkins says Chelsea cannot sell Eden Hazard – amid speculation of a move to Real Madrid – and has compared the Belgian to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Eden Hazard is reportedly a long-term target for Zinedine Zidane at Madrid,

Hazard hinted last week that he would be open to joining Los Blancos in the future, but Wilkins claims that life without the Belgian at Stamford Bridge is unthinkable because of his importance.

“I couldn’t even think of it to be perfectly honest. We’ve got to keep Hazard at Stamford Bridge,” he told Sky Sports News. “There’s lots of people who pay lots of money to go and watch Chelsea play. You’ve got to keep the best players there and Hazard is one of the best. He’s one of the best in the world.

“Special players who can just change games in a flash – you’ve got [Cristiano] Ronaldo, you’ve got [Lionel] Messi and you’ve got Hazard. He’s a joy to watch. He is sensational. You get special players and I think Hazard is just one of those that has cropped up.

“I’m a season ticket holder at Chelsea, I’m a Blue, and to watch him play is something exceptional over the last couple of years. [Antonio] Conte has allowed him to do his thing. He’s one of those guys, when you watch him play, he looks like he’s really enjoying himself.

“When he gets on the ball, you think ‘wow, something’s going to happen now’. He’ll eliminate people in the middle of the pitch, he’ll create chances. He’s just a fantastic footballer.”

We Need To Be Very Cautious Vs Chelsea- Gerard Pique


Gerard Pique has warned his Barcelona teammates that they must “be more prudent” if they are to prevent a good season turning into a bad one.

Barcelona are on course for a clean sweep of trophies at home and in Europe after a hugely impressive first campaign at the helm for boss Ernesto Valverde.

With a seven-point lead on Atletico Madrid at the top of La Liga and a Copa del Rey final meeting against Sevilla to look forward to in April, all focus is now on overcoming Chelsea in the last 16 of the Champions League.

Pique is wary of the threat the English champions pose, and concedes that defeat over two legs could act as a negative turning point in his side’s season.

“Expectations are maximum,” he is quoted as saying by Goal.com. “We go out as favourites, with a chance to win. I know the atmosphere is positive, very favourable, everything looks good, but I think we have to be more prudent.

“We have to learn from experience, what has happened in recent years, and know that one bad day could see you knocked out of the Champions League.

“A bad result against Chelsea could turn the good season we are having into one that’s not so good. We know we are in a good position in the league and the Copa del Rey and we go to London in the Champions League looking to win, get through and progress in the competition.”

Michy Batshuayi Not Concerned About His Future


On loan Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi says he’s not concerned about his future while trying to do his best with Borussia Dortmund.

Michy Batshuayi, 24, was the man of the match in Borussia Dortmund’s 3-2 home win over Atalanta in the Europa League on Thursday. The Belgium international bagged a brace, scoring a late winner in stoppage time to hand his side an advantage for the return leg in seven days.

“I’m feeling very good at the moment,” Batshuayi told ESPN FC after the game, adding: “It was an important win for the team. We’re trying to win every match and to continue to our good run.”

Asked whether he was thinking about his future as he becomes more interesting for Chelsea and other top clubs with every goal he scores, the centre-forward said: “I’m not thinking about that at all.

“For me, it’s important to perform well for Borussia Dortmund in every match anew. I’ll deal with the situation as it comes.”

Since joining Dortmund from Chelsea on a €1.5 million loan move until the end of the season, Batshuayi has scored five goals in three games, while being directly involved in another two, all within 270 minutes.

The 24-year-old thanked his teammates for making his integration at a new club seamless.

“They all welcomed me here with open arms,” he said. “The entire staff and the team made it very easy for me and I have a good translator by my side.”

41 Feared Killed In Fresh Zamfara Attack


At least 41 persons have been feared killed after some suspected armed bandits attacked Birane village in Zurmi local government area of Zamfara state.

Daily Trust reports that the gunmen struck after intercepting a vehicle conveying bridesmaid and traders to the community market.

It was gathered that the armed bandits slit the throat of the driver and then opened fire on the vehicle – killing all on board – and then set it ablaze before proceeding to the community market where they started shooting indiscriminately.

The traders scampered for safety as the gunmen continued their assault unabated.

    “They arrived in large number and on motorbikes intercepting and killing people who were coming or going out of the village. About 41 people were shot dead within a short period of time,” Hussaini Abdu, a resident, was quoted to have said.

Abdu said a commercial motorbike rider conveying a woman and her three children was killed and his motorbike burnt.

He added that up till now, the whereabouts of the woman and her children remain unknown.

In his narration, Muhammad Shehu, spokesman of the state police command, said the conflict arose after hunters and local vigilantes mobilised and launched a pre-emptive attack on bandits when they heard that they were preparing to attack their community.

He said instead of the residents to give the security operatives timely information to avert the attack they decided to take law in to their hands by going out to confront the gunmen.

    “You know Birane is a very remote community. Yet, I can’t tell you the actual figures of the casualties till after the deputy commissioner operations of the command comes back. He, alongside other officers are there to assess the situation and provide additional security measures,” he said.

#BBNaija 2018 Day 18: Housemates Get Their First Wager Win!


Day 18 was definitely a good day for the #bbnaija housemates as all thrir effirt appears to have paid of because they finally won their first Wager. It was a pretty exciting experience for the #bbnaija housemates as they were very ecstatic to finally get a win in the house.

Big brother had given them a task presentation earlier in the week and the #bbnaija housemates spent days intently rehearsing their play. Angel took charge of proceedings, egging the housemates on every step of the way.

Khloe also asserted her authority as head of house and ensured that the housemates complied with their assigned schedules. The cooperation and oneness finally made victory possible for the #bbnaija housemates.

The play was an illustration of a very typical Nigerian situation, something that would happen every day and with cooperation and oneness, they managed to pull it off.

Every single one of the #bbnaija housemates went the whole hog, from costumes, to music and a hundred percent effort, there was no way the Housemates were losing again. They were finally able to get theur first win in the house, and they won their 50% Wager, which was followed by a roar of ecstatic cheer all through the house.

Before the #bbnaija housemates found out about their win, Big brother called out Lolu and Cee-C for their obvious bad behaviour. They were both scolded and given a double strike which left many of the other Housemates utterly surprised.

As the celebration reigned, both Cee-C and Lolu stood still with a dead pan expression on their faces. The duo were apparently shook to their core.

Aside from the obvious shock over the incident with Lolu and Cee-C, the rest of the #bbnaija Housemates were absolutely overjoyed with their win.

It was much needed as this is their first time winning a Wager and after two losses in a row, endless challenges and mounting tension, this is the motivation the needed to get their heads back in the game.

Khloe was noticeably elated as the Wager was won under her rule as Head of House, which she hopes speaks to her leadership qualities.

Report: Paul Pogba Demands Jose Mourinho Change His Tactics


Paul Pogba has reportedly made clear to Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho that he is not happy with the current tactics being used.

Paul Pogba has endured a hit-and-miss second season at Old Trafford, recently coming under fire for displays in the defeats to Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United.

Pogba was seen having an exchange of words with Mourinho prior to being taken off in the first of those costly losses, and was then dropped to the bench for the following game – a 2-0 home win against Huddersfield Town.

According to the Daily Record, the France international believes that his impact on matches has been limited due to his defensive duties in a deeper midfield role, which led to further talks with Mourinho behind the scenes.

The report suggests that Pogba has informed his manager to use him on the left side of a midfield three – a role that he is thrived in before.

But, if Mourinho does alter his plans to accommodate Pogba and switch to a 4-3-3, which of the attacking players would be forced to drop out?

Romelu Lukaku is guaranteed a starting place as the lone striker while Alexis Sanchez is the big-name January arrival, so he also has to play.

Jordan Henderson Wants Liverpool To Build On Impressive Win Vs Porto


Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has admitted that they must show a ruthless streak in front of goal “more often”.

On Wednesday night, Liverpool thrashed Porto by a 5-0 scoreline in Portugal

However, rather than spending too much time celebrating the win, Henderson has called on the first-team squad to focus their attention on replicating their efforts at Estadio do Dragao on a regular basis.

The 27-year-old is quoted by The Mirror as saying: “We have to do that more often. I thought the lads, the whole team, were brilliant from start to finish. That should be normal for us.

“You have to keep that going in the Premier League and in this competition. There is another leg at Anfield to finish the job off so there is a lot we need to do to improve but this was a good step.

“I thought we started the game really well, very aggressive, very brave. We pressed up high to get the ball back. We defended well and with the quality we have going forward, we were clinical as well.”

PSG Chairman Al-Khelaifi Blames Italian Referee For Poor Officiating After Real Madrid Win



PSG chairman and CEO Nasser Al-Khelaifi blames Italian referee Gianluca Rocchi for his decisions in the Parisians’ 3-1 first leg defeat in the hands of Real Madrid

Adrien Rabiot scored the opener at Santiago Bernabeu, but Cristiano Ronaldo went on to score twice, while Marcelo added another.

Speaking with beIN Sports after the match, the Qatari supremo was critical of the officiating, recalling last year’s heartbreaking loss to Barcelona at the Camp Nou.

“We can also speak about the referee,” Al-Khelaifi said. “Two yellow cards, which were not, and an offside against Kylian [Mbappe] that was also incorrect.

“The small things, such as these, can also make the difference against big teams like Real. It was not solely because of this but it helped Real, of course.

“Last year, in Barcelona, the referee. Today, again, the referee. I think that UEFA have to do something.

I have not spoken with the players. Everybody is disappointed by the result. We were really good in the second half — the players gave everything

#BBNaija 2018 Day 16: Housemates Gets Punished With Water For Breaking Yet Another Rule


Big Brother is certainly not up for any sort of playful games with the #bbnaija housemates perhaps due to the fact that he himself, is the game!

So far, all the stunt biggie has pilled on the #bbnaija housemates seem justified and we bet more than a few of them would wish they could go back in time to make better decisions which would have being enough to change their often unpredictable and negative fate.

After the #bbnaija housemates got bonded for the third time, they were given strict instructions about how they were to behave.

They were to limit their conversations to their bond partners and completely avoid other Housemates. In true rebelliois style, the #bbnaija housemates totally disregarded the rules and Big brother decided to bring out the big guns and make them pay for their actions.

He summoned the #bbnaija Housemates to the garden and called all of the bonded pairs except for Bambam and Tobi; and Khloe and Anto to the center. He made them freeze while his ninjas pulled out the hose pipes and hosted a sprinkle party on the Housemates.

The ninjas didn’t even pity the ladies and their wigs, ensuring they were all completely soaked. Ifu Ennada screeched like old tires and Ahneeka fidgeted as if an insect or something wriggly had fallen on her.

Vandora and Princess were literally begging for tears to come but none came. There wasn’t much drama with the guys except Rico Swavey’s meme worthy facial expressions and Teddy A falling like a bag of heavy mass. It was both sad and comedic to see the #bbnaija housemates pay for their disobedience.

Despite the fact that they had lost their wager twice in a row; having Biggie repeat himself regarding the rules; and the pep talk Khloe gave about sticking to the rules after emerging head of house, the #bbnaija Housemates utterly refuse to regroup, align and abide.

This has definitely undermined their individual games and brought them back to where they started, without shape or form.

This behavioral pattern has left us wondering if the Housemates really have game plans in place because they seem to be less concerned about the game and more concerned about every other irrelevant thing they can think of.

After the turn of events, it appears the #bbnaija housemates will think twice before they break or flaunt any of biggie’s rules, or would they?

Goodbye To Romance! Couples Detained As Indonesian Cities Ban Valentine’s Day


Valentine’s Day was banned in some Indonesian cities Wednesday as police rounded up amorous couples, giving the official kiss-off to a tradition which critics say doesn’t deserve any love in the Muslim-majority nation.

The prohibitions come amid concerns that traditionally tolerant Indonesia is taking a sharp fundamentalist turn, by pushing to make pre-marital sex — including gay sex — illegal and punishable with jail time.

On Wednesday authorities in the country’s second-biggest city Surabaya briefly detained about two dozen couples during a raid to sniff out any sign of Valentine’s Day celebrations. They were expected to be released with a reprimand.

Mataram city on the tourist island of Lombok issued its own Valentine’s Day ban and ordered police to raid schools in the hunt for passionate students unable to keep their hands off each other. Romantic parties at hotels and cafes were left alone, according to authorities.

Syamsu Rizal, the deputy mayor of Makassar on the island of Sulawesi, said his city prohibited Valentine’s celebrations, while Depok on the outskirts of Jakarta followed suit.

“It has never been declared by the government to be a celebration in the country” and the ban would prevent hanky-panky among students, Rizal said.

Makassar has imposed bans on Valentine’s Day for the past several years.

In 2017 city authorities raided convenience stores to seize condoms in a bid to stop teenagers from having sex on February 14.

At least 10 cities across the world’s biggest Muslim-majority nation issued full or partial bans on Valentine’s Day celebrations.

Aceh province, the only place in Indonesia that imposes Islamic law, issued a fresh Valentine’s prohibition Wednesday, citing religious norms. It has ordered bans in previous years.

“Valentine’s Day reflects a culture which is not in line with Aceh’s and Islamic law,” provincial governor Irwandi Yusuf said in a statement.

Islamic clerics and some pious Muslims use the occasion to criticise what they see as Western decadence.

But many Indonesians practise a moderate form of Islam and celebrate Valentine’s Day with cards, chocolates and flowers for their loved ones.
