Everyone is talking about Nigerian diva, Iruobe Waje’s glamorous outfit to the Ragheb Alama concert held yesterday at the Eko Hotel, Lagos, it is pretty hard not to join in the train of discussion. She looked absolutely stunning in Sisiano cape and Tom Ford.

Imagine being jailed for 2 decades for a crime that never took
place? Such was the case of Mpagi Edward Edmary, a Ugandan taxi driver. Edward was
sentenced to death in 1982 for the murder of his neighbor who was still alive. He
was involved in land dispute between some families in his village and to deal
with him, they paid people to witness against him in the court. These people
lied that they saw him kill the man and dispose the body. He was on death row
for 20 years and was later released when they found out that the dead man was
hiding in another part of the country.
//
He narrated his experience in Kampala’s Luzira prison “In
Uganda, conditions for death row prisoners are cruel, degrading, and inhumane.
We were always denied medicines. There were lice, flies, and other vermin in
the prison, and this resulted in many illnesses – and many prisoners died from
these illnesses.
In 1984 my brother developed malaria and stomach complications
because of inadequate food and skin conditions. I pleaded with the prison
authorities to give my brother medication and treatment.
//
However, they told me that we were brought to death row to face
death, that it was a waste of taxpayer’s money to treat him. My brother died in
1985. This really scared me.
Life is terrible on death row in Uganda, Africa. No one was ever
given any notice that they would be executed. Each time we were taken by
complete surprise. We lived in complete fear of any unusual activity from the
wardens.
During my stay in prison there were five rounds of executions.
The last one was in 1999 in which the state executed 28 prisoners.
The coffins for the prisoners to be executed were made in the
prison. During the three days before executions, we could all hear the making
of the coffins. The black hoods and clothes for prisoners to be executed were
made by other prisoners. We knew how many people were to be executed by
counting the number of hoods being made.”

Two kids, Adrian and
Brooke Franklin who were ring bearer and flower girl at a wedding in 1998 have
become husband and wife. Their wedding was held on September 19, 2015. The girl
confessed to have nursed a crush on him from the start ( so kids know about crushes)
//
Brooke told ABC News, “I had a
crush on him from the start. But he absolutely could not stand me. He said ‘I
got on his nerves.’ I’d tried to play with him at school and at church and he
just didn’t want much to do with me at all”
Everything changed in high
school and the pair hit it off.
Adrian said “We would draw with our finger on each
other’s backs and guess what the other person was writing. “I wrote ‘Will you be my
girlfriend’ and she guessed it, but didn’t answer me. I said ‘Well Brooke, are
you going to say anything?’ and she said ‘Well, you didn’t write a question
mark.’”
//
“Before our wedding day I had a sign made
that said ‘Will you marry me’ but I cut the question mark out. I asked her to
marry me and I said, ‘Here’s your question mark”
Award-winning singer/songwriter, Bukola Elemide, widely known as Asa has been crowned Akan Queen of Ivory Coast. The honour was bestowed for her efforts in fighting the scourge of AIDS in the African country. The 33 year-old Nigerian french recording artiste recently staged a concert in the country’s capital and she donated proceeds from the event to the National Fund for the Fight against AIDS.

Talk about one of the rarest places to propose. Super Eagles/Hapoel Beer Sheva midfielder, John Ogu proposed to his girlfriend, Verachi yesterday on the pitch. He popped the question shortly after his side’s 5-2 win.
“Thank You great God. Great result today,and above all,She said YES!!!!..GOD bless the day I met you my love @missverachi ..You the best boo”. The Nigerian international wrote.
Former Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Professor Attahiru Jega has been honoured for his outstanding role in the 2015 General Elections in Nigeria.
Jega who’s now the Pro Chancellor and Chairman of Council of the Plateau State University was given the 2015 Charles Manatt democracy award by the International Foundation for Electoral Systems in Washington. He was also given the Integrity Award by the Nigerian Higher Education Foundation in New York.
// “I am humbled to be receiving the 2015 Democracy award, and will also like to recognise my colleagues at INEC for their dedication to a credible and transparent electoral process. Over the last five years, we’ve come a long way in the conduct of elections in Nigeria, and I think the outcome of the 2015 elections speak directly to this work.”
//
He continued, “All my colleagues at INEC share the credit for this success. The mood in my country presently is extremely upbeat, following the first democratic transfer of power in our history.” The 58 year-old said.
Despite
The Blues’ strings of defeat this season, Chelsea boss, Jose Mourinho is
confident his team would make it to the top 4 on the log. The Premier League
Champions recorded their 4th league defeat in 8 games today after losing 3-1 at
home to Southampton. Despite being 16th in the table, the Portuguese coach sees
his team bouncing to the top in the coming months.
The 52
year-old in a post-match interview today said there is no way he will resign adding that Chelsea cannot have a better manager.
He told
Sky Sports, “I want to make it clear.
One, I don’t run away. Two, if the club want to sack me they have to sack
me because I am not running away from my responsibilities or my
team.” “To be champions now is very difficult because the
distance is considerable. But I am more than convinced that we will finish
in the top four and when the season is so bad if you finish in the top four it
is OK. Third – and I think this is even more important than the first and
the second – it is a crucial moment in the history of this club. You know
why? Because if they sack me they sack the best manager this club had. The
message is again that bad results and the manager is guilty.”
Jose
Mourinho says there is no way he will resign. He says Chelsea cannot have a
better manager so no chance he will run away. He added that he has his professional
pride and he loves the club very much, so the combination means he is going to
stay and he’ll stay until the owner or the board tells him they don’t want him
to. And he points out he said the same last season. The ex Real Madrid manager thinks
by December, January or February that the team will be back in the top four. He
also said he spoke to the players this week and they confirmed they think he is
the man for the job
A BBC Journalist has claimed that Nigerians are one of the most unruly sets of human beings in the world. She backed her claims up with a quote in the speech delivered by Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari on the country’s 55 years of independence on October 1, 2015. The Nigerian leader had said, “We all have a part to play to bring about change. We must change our lawless habits… We must change our unruly behaviour… To bring about change, we must change ourselves.”
//
The catalogue of unruly behaviours identified in Nigerians by the writer are as follows.
The Nigerians who will never stand in any queue, who must make their way to the front as soon as they arrive
The drivers who will never stop at a traffic light, who consider it anathema to allow an empty space in front of their vehicles
The invisible individuals who excrete piles of solid waste on the pavements, night after night
The staff who take three weeks’ leave to attend their father’s burial, then another three weeks later in the year to attend their father’s burial, again. “That first one was my father who paid my school fees,” they say. “This one is my biological father”
//
The mothers who threaten the head teacher with fire and brimstone because their children were punished for coming late to school
The bosses who, in the presence of their entire staff, praise you for your excellent work skills, then wink and ask if you also have excellent “bedroom skills”, while everyone present bursts out laughing
The top government officials who show off their importance by the number of people jam-packed into their waiting rooms. They give you an appointment for 7am, knowing full well that they do not intend to see you until 10pm
The air hostesses who frown throughout the flight, to avoid giving you the false impression that they are at your beck and call
The “big men” and “big women” who scream “Do you know who I am?” when you ask for some identity before they can be allowed through the gate
Those who ring the airline to request that the flight be delayed for their sakes, while their fellow passengers gaze out of the aeroplane windows for an hour, wondering why the flight is delayed, this time
