“Who is the President of Nigeria?” – Dr. Muhammadu Buhari – Miss Anambra contestant answers

JUST when we thought we have heard the last of Miss Anambra beauty pageant mess, after the harried one concerning Miss Anambra 2015 winner, Chidinma Okeke and the Anambra Broadcasting Services, the Yuletide has served us another juicy one from Nnewi, from same Anambra State.

This happened last Friday, December 30, 2016 at the Ifeanyi Uba’s sponsored Nnewi Youths Fiesta where all the sixteen contestants for the Miss Nnewi beauty pageant were disqualified for failing to answer basic current affairs questions correctly.

The gathering was thoroughly pissed for the inability of the contestants to answer questions like who the founder of the Dr. Ifeanyi Uba foundation is; What they would do if they become the president of Nigeria; and Who the president of Nigeria is? A contestant excitedly told the gathering that the current president of the Federal Republic is Dr. Muhammadu Buhari.

Most said, ‘No Idea.’ Yet these are supposed to be undergraduates!

Intelligence quotient At the end of the exercise, E-Daily learnt there was no winner as it was a brazen embarrassment to the sensibilities of not only the organizers but the state as a whole.

“The organizers of the event should please, try and test the intelligence quotient of would-be contestants before bringing them out for public parade. Or else, the embarrassment will continue as the state itself has not recovered from the cucumber saga,” a guest observes.

At the end of the day, no winner was declared as the organisers were thoroughly embarrassed. The car prize meant for the winner had to be taken away.

“I was afraid of admitting I’m Christian for fear of being killed” – Singer, Adewale Ayuba

Popular Fuji musician, Adewale Ayuba, has opened up on his initial fear after he got converted to Christianity.Ayuba, now commonly known as Mr. Johnson, was born and bred in a Muslim family.

According to the ex-staunch Muslim, he had been a Christian since 2010, but hasn’t been practicing it for fear of being killed.

The ‘Ijo Fuji’ songster made this known in an open confession in the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, weekend.

While admitting that he is now proudly a full Christian, he said, “I have been a Christian for so long, even my family members especially my kids are all going to church but I make sure I go every December 31st. If I don’t, I will presume the New Year would be filled with dangers that will lead to my death.

“I was always scared of admitting to the world that I’m Christian, for fear of being killed, but now I have the courage to say it boldly, I’m a born-again Christian. I’m no more a Muslim,” Ayuba added.

Why I Have 18 Children – Veteran Yoruba Actor, Adebayo Salami “Oga Bello”

You have 18 children; will you encourage the younger ones to have such figure?

I will not. The fact that I have many children is by destiny, because I did not plan for it. It happened when stardom came and there was nothing I could do.

Female fans were all over me and one way or the other, they wanted to attach themselves to me. I was just doing it. Now, I believe it is my destiny, because God gave me all I needed to use to train them. But not everyone would have the grace or opportunity like Bello.

So, I will not advise anyone to have many children. Apart from the present harsh situation of the economy, I will not even advise anyone to marry two wives. If I had my way, I would have loved to have a smaller family. But it is my destiny, like I said earlier. Why has it become extremely hard for celebrities to stay in marriage? It is possible that the couples are incompatible, when you look at things well.

If two actors get married, it is always hard. As an actor, female fans always love to be around the husband, but most women cannot tolerate that for too long. If the celebrity wife cannot control herself too, she could go astray.

For me, I will not encourage two celebrities to get married. It is preferable when they are doing different things.

How did you react when your son, Femi, told you about getting married a second time?

We have been looking forward to that. When his first wife left eight years ago, he did not want to marry anymore. But at his age, it is not good for him to be alone for the rest of his life. I really was disturbed.

We kept on searching, hoping he gives marriage another chance, until he brought his new wife to us. I am happy he eventually did.

Your children are already living your legacies; how does this make you feel? I thank God because such grace is uncommon.

Coming into acting, I did not think that any of my children would take after me, not to talk of it happening while I am still alive.

Why don’t you feature in English movies?

They do not invite me and I cannot lobby for it. Maybe they feel that my spoken English is not up to standard; I do not know honestly. But the fact is that I would give Yoruba movie more priority than English movies, because I like to promote my culture. My culture is who I am and where I belong to.

But anytime I get invitations, I am ready. For me, acting is acting; the only difference is the medium of expression.

If they invite me, I would surprise them. I have done more than eight English movies in the past.

Revealed: Why Nigerian Soldiers are Being Killed Easily by Boko Haram

Nigerian soldiers in their numbers have fallen to the dreaded terrorist group, Boko Haram owing to the reasons as revealed by a reliable source.

A journalist who is also the State Coordinator of Social Welfare Network Initiative, Jack Vince who champions the cause for the freedom of most northern states held under siege by Boko Haram terrorists, has brought to fore the shocking condition Nigerian soldiers fighting in the region face.

This it is believed is why the country is losing more soldiers to the war against terrorism.

According to the Vince, for “Nigerian troops in northern Borno, ordinary pure water is a luxury. They resort to drinking the potash (kanwa) filled water from wells or ‘rivers’.”

Vince was forced to speak out about the sorry condition of the soldiers following the death of Lt Col. Muhammadu Abu Ali who was killed by Boko Haram terrorists during an ambush on Friday in Borno state.

While writing on the need for the government to adequately provide for the soldiers, he revealed some shocking details and hardship the troops are facing in the north east.

“Now that it is quite incontrovertible that terrorism has become an integral part of the system, seven uninterrupted years of arms confrontation between the state and the outlaws is enough time for security operatives to have had the requisite experience. Experience in terms of the right weapons, strategy, technology, intelligence and all it takes to significantly decimate the terrorists in truth and not through propaganda and press releases.

“I have said this before; for the umpteenth time, I’ll say it again. All units across military formations in Nigeria need to have at least 20 personnel trained abroad and effectively kitted as special forces to bring Boko Haram to its knees. The last set of special forces were trained by the last administration. The present administration must do the same or even more, if we genuinely desire to combat terrorism.

“Also, soldiers need to have their morale boosted by adequate provision of welfare packages, they need to be sensitized and made to feel like lions conquering the jungles of terrorism, they deserve to be adequately and effectively provided with ammunitions, new or functional assault weapons (AKs) with bayonets, personal pistols, combat knives, several pairs of uniforms, boots and helmets, military bulletproof jackets, night vision goggles, general purpose machine guns (GPMGs), rocket propelled grenades (RPGs), anti aircraft (AA) weapons, armoured personnel carriers (APCs), mine-resistant ambush protected (MRAP) military vehicles, artillery, and combat aircraft.

“Government can not continue to send our soldiers to battle fronts with infinitesimally little or absolutely inadequate fighting equipment.”Vince wrote.

He added: “American soldiers once refused to advance in battle because they noticed that chocolate was missing in their rations. To the Nigerian troops in northern Borno, ordinary pure water is a luxury. They resort to drinking the potash (kanwa) filled water from wells or ‘rivers’.”
