A day after he officially declared his bid for a second term, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State, is facing impeachment threat, TheCable has reported. The impeachment threat is not unconnected to an ongoing rift between Ambode and APC national leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. Ambode had on Monday obtained his expression of interest and nomination forms at the APC National Secretariat in Abuja. Quoting credible sources, TheCable, on Tuesday claimed 57 council chairmen, who are fiercely loyal to Tinubu, have met and pledged their support to his preferred candidate, Jide Sanwo-Olu. Ambode now faces the task of beating Sanwo-Olu and another APC stalwart, Obafemi Hamzat, in the primary. According to TheCable, council chairmen are the most influential grassroots mobilisers under the direct primary system adopted by the APC to pick governorship candidates.

A father who impregnated his 15-year-old biological daughter has sought to justify the act by claiming he fell in love with the second year Junior High School (JHS) student.

Sometime in June 2018, my wife informed me that my daughter was pregnant after which we both called her to ask who was responsible for the pregnancy.

I fell in love with her and had sex with her two times.” The victim claims she was on the two occasions raped by the man but threatened not to reveal her ordeal to anyone lest would be severely deal

DEAF, DISABLED DETROIT IMMIGRANT IN US FOR 34 YEARS FACES DEPORTATION

Image
Born and raised in Nigeria, Francis Anwana was just 14 years old when he came to the United States on a student visa. He was deaf, couldn't talk, and had cognitive disabilities, enrolling at the Michigan School for the Deaf in Flint. Now 48, Anwana lives in Detroit at an adult foster care facility, helping mow the lawns and mop the floors at a nearby church on Detroit's west side. But in a shock to immigrant advocates, the U.S. now wants to deport Anwana to Nigeria, a country he has not lived since he was a teenager. Given his severe disabilities, it would be a virtual "death sentence" for him, said Susan Reed, an attorney with the Michigan Immigrant Rights Center. Because of his disability, Anwana can only read at a second-grade level and is unable to mentally grasp the fact he could be forced to go back to Nigeria, according to advocates and his lawyer. On Wednesday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) told Anwana he would be deported on Tuesday, S

Nigerian lawyer, First Baba Isa is upset with men shaming women for being single.

"All the girls that washed your smelling boxers, which one did you marry?" - Nigerian lawyer blasts men shaming single women" Read his post below "YOU ARE GETTING OLD O... YOU WILL REMAIN IN YOUR FATHER'S HOUSE." I find it very disgusting when I see young men going around making jokes, trolling ladies and trying to make them feel guilty for being single. Many of these dudes have even perfected this art into a manipulative tool. Small thing, "you are getting old o, you will remain in your father's house" or "that is how they will do and remain in their father's house". Abegi! You toast girl she no gree, then you go, "that is how you will do and remain in your father's house". If she doesn't reply your chats or texts, if she doesn't pick your calls, if she refuse to visit you, if she refuse to send you nudes, if she refuse to take your rudeness; "leave that girl, she will remain in her father's h

87 YEARS OLD MAN DIVORCING HIS 27-YEAR-OLD WIFE BECAUSE SHE HAS REFUSED TO HAVE SEX WITH HIM

Image
A famous 87-year-old Russian actor is divorcing his 27-year-old wife because she has refused to have sex with him. Ivan Krasko, famous for more than 140 roles in Soviet and Russian movies, wed Natalia Krasko in September of 2015. However he said that almost immediately she had started refusing sex – because she was worried about getting pregnant. He said she was also worried about the fact that they did not have the money to raise a child and did not even have a place of their own to stay in. The revelation is in contrast to his statement last year that he wanted to have children with Natalia, but now he wants a divorce from his younger wife. Reportedly Natalia who grew up in a poor family felt that she did not want the same destiny for her children. Natalia said:  ‘I don’t want to become a single mother, children mean responsibility, and we don’t even have our own place.’ During all the years of their marriage the pair has been living with Krasko’s grandson Kirill’s at the
