                   Nollywood Actress Eniola Badmus
Now that Eniola Badmus is back on her feet, she wishes her haters exactly what they wish her. 
Contrary to morbid speculation, Eniola Badmus is hale and hearty and she fully intends to remain that way.

After revealing that she was hospitalised due to ill health, the Nollywood actress was forced to endure negative comments from haters on social media over her health and how she would end up. 
Now that she is back on her feet, she wishes them exactly what they wish her.
She took to social media to thank her fans that cared enough to reach out to her as well as pray for her.
Badmus only recently lost her father and obviously has enough to deal without the additional burden of negative comments.

                               Ghanaian Actor, John Dumelo
A popular Ghanaian actor, John Dumelo has advised men to marry within their financial bracket adding that it does not mean well for a man to marry a woman richer than he is.
The actor and farmer made this known while speaking during an episode of the GTV program dubbed “What Men Like”.

Dumelo during the program which aired on national TV stated that “fortunately or unfortunately, when women have a lot of money, they tend to be somehow disrespectful.”
He further added when the conversation drifted to whether men liked dating women who are more successful than they are, “I just want a woman who is OK but the potential is there to be rich.”

Explaining further on his type of woman, with consideration to her financial capabilities, the actor said he will prefer for them both to be rich together than have his woman richer than he is.
Describing his perfect woman, he added: “She’s ambitious, she’s a go getter, she’s entrepreneurial. We can get the money together.”

Stating that in the event he had no other option than to date a women more financially buoyant than he is, the actor said: “I don’t mind going out with a woman who has more money than I do but I would make sure I have my own money as well. I wouldn’t want a case where I depend on the woman financially.”

Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed [Photo: Daily Trust]
Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has said the growing cases of hate speech, disinformation and fake news in the country are being orchestrated by those opposed to the Nigerian government to “discredit the government, destabilize the polity and make the country ungovernable”.

The Minister made the statement at the Extra-ordinary Meeting of the National Council on Information (NCI), which has the theme ”Hate Speeches, Disinformation, Fake News and National Unity”, in Jos, Plateau State, on Thursday.
”The campaign (to discredit the government) is a multi-million naira project and the people behind this string of hate speech, disinformation and fake news are not about to stop. In fact, they will become more vicious in the days, weeks and months ahead,” he said.

Mr. Mohammed blamed the resurgent push for separatism as well as the rising cases of ethnic and religious disharmony on the “growing phenomenon of hate speech, as well as the disinformation and fake news campaign,” and warned that hate speeches and incitement to violence set the stage for the genocide that left at least 800,000 people dead in Rwanda in 1994.

He traced the worsening cases of hate speech in the country to the period leading to the last general elections, when the then presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Muhammadu Buhari, was the target of a vicious campaign.
”Never in the history of electioneering campaign in Nigeria has such a quantum of hate speech been directed at any candidate. This did not stop even when he won the election and became President.
“For instance, the President had hardly left Nigeria for his vacation in London on 19 January 2017, during which he said he would have routine medical check-up, when these hate and fake news campaigners circulated the news that he has died.
“Between then and now, they have repeated similar fakes news times without number,” he said.

He cited three instances of disinformation and fake news targeted at him, including when he was quoted as saying the government does not know who will sign the 2017 budget, when what he said was that when the budget is transmitted to the presidency, a decision will be taken.
Citing other instances, Mr. Mohammed said: ”On Wednesday, 26 April 2017, after the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting, I briefed State House Correspondents on what transpired at the meeting.
“I said, among others, that President Muhammadu Buhari did not preside over the day’s meeting because he decided to work from home that day. In reporting my briefing, one of the correspondents quoted me as saying the President would work from home henceforth, rather than on that day only.

“Also in May 2017, I travelled to China on official assignment. I had just arrived in that country, after a long flight, when I started receiving calls from Nigeria, seeking my reaction to a story making the rounds in the Social Media, quoting me as saying that though President Muhammadu Buhari is in a London hospital, he is using Made-in-Nigeria drugs. I purportedly made the comment in an interview with Channels Television, after the Federal Government’s launch of the Made-in-Nigeria campaign in Abuja a few days earlier.
”At first, I chose to ignore the story, saying Nigerians would easily see the folly of it,” he said.

Supreme Court of Nigeria
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Friday at an Ikeja High Court gave more incriminating evidence to establish a case of offering of gratification by Joseph Nwobike (SAN) to some judges.
Rotimi Oyedepo, EFCC’s prosecuting counsel, confronted the lawyer with more evidence, this time connecting the timelines the text messages were sent by Mr. Nwobike before he appeared in court to argue cases at the court of some judges of the Federal High Court.

Mr. Nwobike is being tried by the EFCC on an 11-count charge bordering on perverting the course of justice and offering of gratification to public officials.
The anti-graft agency alleged that Mr. Nwobike offered gratifications to some judges of the Federal High Court and the National Industrial Court to influence them to act contrary to their official capacities.
The EFCC also claimed that Mr. Nwobike engaged in exchanging illegal text messages with four registrars of the Federal High Court in a bid to unduly influence his cases being tried by some judges.
Mr. Nwobike, however, denied all the charges.

Mr. Oyedepo had on July 2 and July 4, while cross-examining the SAN, confronted him with evidence of the alleged text messages from an Extraction Report showed by a projector in the courtroom.
During proceedings on Friday, Mr. Oyedepo said:“On page 4356 on column 1158 shows that in Sep. 21, 2014 you sent this text to Mr Jide which is suit no — FHC/L/CS/1133/2014 Dana Group of Companies and two others V Sterling Bank Plc, Mr Kunle Ogunba (SAN) and two others, this is a suit you filed.
“Your colleague, Mr. Kunle Ogunba (SAN), was also a party to the suit and this suit was assigned on Sep. 23, 2014, and Justice Yinusa heard this suit. Can you confirm to the court who heard the suit ?”

Responding Mr. Nwobike said: “Mr Kunle Ogunba was sued in his capacity as a receiver/manager.
 “I cannot remember which judge heard the suit because there were six suits filed by me which involved Dana Motors Ltd.”

Continuing Mr. Oyedepo said:“On column 1157, on Sep. 21, 2014, you sent this text to Jide ‘Good afternoon Sir, Wafa and another V Diamond Bank and two others, Kurya J, thanks so much.
“On June 30, 2014 you sent the details of that suit again to Jide and you sent this text; ‘Thanks, please help me with this one, it has urgency, I will show tomorrow, goodnight, My Lord.
“On the same day of June 30, 2014 at 5.26 pm, you forwarded the suit details of Lanre Olaoluwa Vs Federal Ministry of Power and Steel, Yinusa J, very important.
“I can tell you that this suit was instituted on the same day (June 30, 2014) and your firm paid N56,040 and Yinusa J ended up adjudicating on the matter.

“On June 26, 2014 you forwarded this text to Mr Jide ‘Nestlé Vs FIRS, FHC/L/CS/940/2014, Yinusa J, thanks.’
“Jide, responding to your text said, ‘I did it last week, it is there already’.
“Earlier on that day you received a text message from Collins one of the counsel in your chambers on the same day.
“The text from Collins communicated to the name of the parties and suit number of the Nestlé matter.
“The text from Collins was received by you at 7.16 am and you forwarded that text message to Jide suggesting Yinusa J at 7.31am.”

Denying the allegations, Mr. Nwobike said: “I don’t know how much my firm paid for the filing of the Lanre Olaoluwa suit.
“As at the time I sent the text message regarding the Olaoluwa suit, I thought the matter was already assigned.
“For the Nestlé suit, I think it was Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia that heard the suit and not Justice Yinusa.”

The EFCC prosecutor also revealed details of more text message communications between the SAN and the Federal High Court registrar.
He told the court:“You sent a text message on March 13, 2014 containing the suit number FHC/L/CS/347/14 and the parties Professor Emmanuel Adegbeyemi and six others Vs Mr Biodun Agbaje and 15 others and you suggested Justice Yinusa.

“On Nov. 3, 2013 you received and read a text message from Mr Jide asking you to remind you of a case with the suit number FHC/L/CS/960/13.
“The same day, you sent another text to Mr Jide responding, Thanks my dear brother, I will do so, thanks.

“On Nov. 1, 2013 you sent this text ‘Premier Plant Leasing Nigeria Ltd V Diamond Bank Plc suit number FHC/L/CS/960/2013, writing dated and filed July 9, 2013, Kurya J, please my bro, Nwobike.
“The response from Jide to remind you was in reply to this text and this was close to the annual vacation, the suit was eventually handled by Justice Kurya.”
Justice Raliatu Adebiyi adjourned the case until July 26 for continuation of trial.

Abuja City Gate, Abuja
Findings have shown that residents of Abuja have the highest risk of contacting HIV/AIDS in Nigeria, a health expert has revealed.

Walter Ugwocha, the Executive Secretary, Civil Society for HIV and AIDS in Nigeria, CISHAN made this known in an interview with PREMIUM TIMES.
He said the Federal Capital Territory has 7.5 percent HIV/AIDS prevalence, with Mpape, a satellite town in the territory, having more than 25 percent prevalence.
“That means all of us in FCT are at a very high risk,”  Mr. Ugwocha said
 
“From our research, we found out that those that are not bosses in their place of work come from either Maraba, Mpape or other areas. And these bosses tend to keep sexual relationships with their secretaries who reside in Kubwa and Maraba, amongst others.”The secretaries, in turn, go back home to have sex with their boyfriends who are positive and return to have sex with the boss. The boss also goes home to infect his wife and his wife, in turn, infects her young lover and it keeps spreading,” Mr. Ugwocha said.  On the treatment of the disease, he said more people are now on treatment than the newly infected ones.

CISHAN is the umbrella network for all non profits working on HIV/AIDS in Nigeria.
A tour of Abuja nightlife zones by PREMIUM TIMES shows just how lucrative commercial sex can be in the nation’s capital, and how crooked pimps make a fortune trafficking mostly poor girls from far-flung states to sell sex in the city.
