Wizkid’s baby mama crushing on Davido

Image
But would they remain very much of friends if one gets to know his baby mama, ex love or not, is crushing on the other? This is based on the premise that no man takes kindly to another man invading his carnal sanctuary. But what if it is the woman asking for it? As Sola Ogudu, Wizkid’s first baby mama did on Twitter days ago. She had tweeted, “Might seem weird. But Davido’s positive vibes and energy makes me soooo super happy! Lool love him.” Most people who reacted to the tweet quickly asked why it’s weird. She never responded though, but the question keeps ringing and ringing and it is doubtful if Wizkid would make a toast to that. She said “Davido’s positive vibes”, what exactly she meant by that has also been left hanging and begging for explanation. It is however public knowledge that things between Wizkid and his baby mama, Sola Ogudu, have not been kosher as evident in her last month’s tweet, describing the Pakurumo’s crooner as an irresponsible father who has abdicated his

How President Macron humanized France during his visit to Nigeria ON July 14, 2018 6:13 AM / IN Just Human , Metro , News / Comments By Magnus Onyibe Uncharacteristic of a visiting President, the most cherished location that president Emmanuel Macron, the affable French President wanted to be was not Aso Rock villa seat of power in Abuja, but the “Shrine” in Lagos made popular by Afro beat maestro/civil rights icon, late Fela Anikulapo-Kuti. President macron’s fascination with the ‘shrine’ may not only be owed to his memories of visiting the location when he was a young intern at the French embassy in Lagos in 2002, rather it may be because the ‘shrine’ symbolized resistance and dissent

Image
The Ekiti state police command says no policeman slapped Ayodele Fayose, governor of the state. Fayose had said security operatives invaded the governor’s office on Wednesday and later assaulted him.             But speaking with TheCable on Friday, Caleb Ikechukwu, police spokesman in Ekiti, said the police respect the office of the governor and no policeman could have slapped him. “No policeman can and will slap a sitting governor or deputy, they are our excellencies,” he said. The command said two political parties wanted to have their rallies on the same date in Ado-Ekiti but the commissioner of police advised the parties to have their activities at different times because of the security implication. The police had ordered the withdrawal of security details of candidates but Ikechukwu said those with the governor and his deputy who is the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) were not withdrawn. “Police want to ensure a level playing ground for everybody, and we ar

Fayose berates APC for ‘hiring crowd,’ blocking Govt House gates

Image
Governor Ayodele Fayose yesterday berated the Federal Government over the blockade of all roads leading to the Government House by security men. The security men prevented vehicles from going in and out of the Government House while the APC rally attended by President Muhammadu Buhari lasted. But pedestrians were allowed to go in with many going to join the Ekiti drivers unions who assembled at the government house since Monday night. Many visitors to the Government House parked their cars and trekked inside while those already inside abandoned their vehicles and trekked home. Fayose, on Monday night, had ordered the transport workers’ leaders to instruct their members to park their vehicles at the Government House, in what many in the state believe was a show of power and test of popularity. Speaking about the presence of the crowd at the Government House ground, Fayose said it has proved to the All Progressives Congress that the masses were for him. The carnival-like assemb

4 Things the Parents of Successful Kids do Differently, According to Science

Every parent wants their kids to thrive , but if raising high-achieving kids was simple everyone would do it. Here's what science says about how you can help your children to succeed in life. 1. Let them feel the discomfort of failure. Researchers from Ohio State University, the University of Kansas and Stanford University asked 98 college students to search online for the least expensive version of a certain kind of blender, with the chance to win cash if they succeeded. Before learning if they won, half the participants were instructed to focus on their emotional response to how they did, and the other half told to merely think about their performance. The task was rigged, though, and all the students learned that the lowest price was several dollars less than what they found. When asked to perform a similar task later, the participants who had earlier focused on the negative emotions of losing spent 25 percent more time searching for an item, compared with the students who di
