The quest for quick money has led to the death of a 16-year-old Senior Secondary School One [SSS1], student, Raimi Fatai, after he allegedly died following the administration of a liquid substance on him by three of his classmates during a money ritual process in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.                   It was gathered that the deceased and his mates had embarked on the money ritual route after one of them whose father is a native doctor, promised them that the substance would make them rich. The native doctor's son, according to the report, had told his colleagues that he has mastered that art from his father and could equally prepare a charm that would make them rich and therefore, gave them the substance which led to the death of Fatai while the rest are battling for their lives in a hospital. After taking the fatal substance, all four students reportedly took ill with Fatai giving up the ghost two days later while the other vic...

The Supreme Court has upheld the death sentence of the convicted General-Overseer of the Christian Praying Assembly, Chukwuemeka Ezeugo, a.k.a Rev. King.                            The seven-man panel of Justices led by Justice Walter Onnoghen upheld the death by hanging sentence passed on the clergyman by the Lagos State High Court. Delivering the verdict of the apex court, Justice Sylvester Ngwuta dismissed the appeal of Ezeugo stating that “the facts of the case could have been lifted from horror film.” He went further to state that “This appeal has no merit. The judgement of the court of appeal is hereby affirmed. The prison sentence that was earlier handed to the appellant is no longer relevant in view of the death sentence passed on him.” It will be recalled that the Anambra state-born reverend was convicted and sentenced to death by hanging on January 11, 2007 for the alleged murder of his church member, Ann Uz...

If Bill Cosby thought he'd be able to get rid of the criminal charges filed against him before going to trial, he was dead wrong. It seems the judge at the Montgomery County court, where his case is being tried, is intent on holding him accountable for his alleged sexual assault of Andrea Constand.                                Soon after the charges were filed, Cosby's attorneys tried hard to get them dismissed based on an alleged deal a former prosecutor made with Cosby back in 2005, stating that he would not face criminal charges if he agreed to a deposition in a civil suit brought on by Constand. The current judge ruled last week that no such agreement would be honored because the deal was never officially recognized by the court. Now, the judge presiding over the case is even requesting the higher courts that Cosby not be allowed to appeal the decision not to throw out the charges. Cosby's team, o...

“This is a most encouraging development. It demonstrates a willingness and sincerity by both parties to work together towards a positive outcome,”  CEO of MTN Nigeria, Ferdi Moolman told reporters.                       “We are hopeful at this stage. Along with the authorities, it is clear that we are collectively committed to working towards a solution that is of mutual benefit to all parties. Our industry in Nigeria is an incredibly important example of the remarkable progress in ICT particularly as a much needed catalyst for socio-economic growth and development at this time.” He further added that MTN paid N50bn to the federal government “ as a gesture of good faith and commitment to continued efforts towards an amicable resolution.” NCC had fined the company N1.04 trillion for failing to deactivate 5.1 million unregistered SIM cards and later reduced the amount to N780 billion following a series of negotiations. It will be...

Terry Crews has some skeletons in his closet. The actor and former NFL player recently opened up about his decades-long addiction to porn, and how it landed him in rehab. In a surprisingly honest Facebook video, he explained the whole ordeal, adding that it almost cost him his family and warning others to look out for signs that they may face similar demons.                       In the video, titled "Dirty Little Secret," the former NFL linebacker said his bad habit came with some major consequences: "It really, really messed up my life in a lot of ways." His marriage was one of the factors that suffered the most. "My wife was literally like, 'I don't know you anymore. I'm out of here,'" he said. Speaking to those who may share the same addiction, he explained how to identify the problem and his reasoning to want to help others. "If day turns into night and you are still watching [porn], you probably got a problem," he said. ...
