Drink-a-thon For Beer Thieves; Jealous Nurse Manipulates DNA To Cause Divorce

If you have not seen one of the latest videos trending on social media showing a ‘drink-a-thon’ by some captured thieves, then you are missing something. It’s a must-watch.

The video captures a very rare punishment administered to a group of South African thieves who tried to steal alcohol from a shop. They were forced to consume the very bottles of beer they tried to steal. Try that nonsense here in Naija all in the name of being a burglar, and you’d hardly tell where a mob that will beat ‘shege’ out of your life will emerge from.

Only God will help the thief if he is handed over to the police; though not without being first battered black and blue by the angry mob.

With this kind of unconventional method of justice, it’s likely that many hungry thieves in Nigeria may have to relocate to South Africa. While there are fears that such form of punishment could lead to severe health complications or death for the South African beer thieves, netizens have not stopped cracking jokes about the incident. Some say they were enjoying the fruit of their hard work, while others called it VIP honour. This is “Drink a thon” under duress!

Portable, Pasuma sing in church
As at Thursday, the outrage over the invitation of Portable and Pasuma by a branch of the Celestial Church of Christ, in Lagos, for its Ankara/praise night event continued on social media. The Church has been facing criticism for the decision to invite secular musicians to such a religious event holding on December 15th, 2023.

While the controversy about why the Church decided to involve secular musicians rather than gospel artistes for the programme is understandable, some people are of the opinion that the choice of the Church must be respected. However, one cannot stop imagining what songs these guys would sing that night. Is it Zazu Zeh or Fuji music? How will our dearly talented Portable dress? Anyway, time would have given us the answer if not that their invitation had been withdrawn.

The jealous Nurse and DNA results
What do we call this? A nurse alters the DNA results of children and afterwards, destroys the family. Seriously, was that done out of jealousy, admiration for the man, or desperation for love? The answer, obviously, is none of the above. This is insanity! Wonders they say will never cease.

In a most bizarre revelation on TV3’s “Confessions” segment with Miss Nancy, the Ghanaian nurse confessed to manipulating the DNA results of the man’s three children, and causing the couple to divorce. Eventually, she married the man whom she fell in love with at the hospital.

Consequently, she had four children with the man while he was happily oblivious that he was sharing his life with a female serpent. With this incident, people may no longer accept DNA results without further scrutiny.

Nigerians will never cease to amaze someone. On Wednesday, news about President Tinubu’s time at the National Assembly went viral. It was super breaking news as many began hailing the Asiwaju for breaking records. This is not about the Guinness World Record the president told the world during a foreign programme that he deserves but about the presentation of the 2024 budget of Renewed Hope. In case you do not know, he broke a record for being the first former Senator to be in the complex as president of Nigeria.

And as the hailing went on, as infectious as it was, it got hold of NASS members present, so they sang the president’s campaign song of allegiance; On your mandate we shall stand Bola’.

As it is now, many of those who sang along with the NASS members, are not singing again. Not after they heard about the massive loan the president is seeking the approval of the Senate to collect which will likely make things more difficult for the people.

Moreover, they are beginning to see that this 10th Assembly may not come in handy when the chips are down. Following heavy backlash from Nigerians, even the NASS members are probably unsettled now, looking for a cover story for that ‘eye service’ and unprofessional conduct. They sang ‘On your mandate, we stand’ instead of the national anthem.

Why I Prefer To Raise Kids In Nigeria – M.I Abaga

Editor

Nigerian rapper and music executive, M.I Abaga, has revealed that he would prefer to raise his future children in Nigeria because of the country’s strong sense of family and community.

Speaking in a recent interview, the hip-hop star said Nigeria offers a more supportive environment for raising children compared to some Western countries.

According to him, the communal lifestyle in Nigeria makes parenting easier, as relatives are often available to help.

He said, “There are a lot of things appealing about home, especially because we’re already ingrained in that system. There’s a lot of support as well. I feel it’s very difficult for parents here.

“But if you have family, now you have enough people that can stay at home and support you. But it’s not easy, man.”

M.I contrasted this with life abroad, particularly in the United States, where many people work long hours and family members may not be available to offer help.

He added that while he understands the appeal of raising kids overseas, Nigeria provides a stronger foundation for children to understand their roots and culture before gaining exposure abroad.

Although M.I noted that he is not yet making concrete family plans, he emphasized that Nigeria’s close-knit culture remains one of its greatest advantages when it comes to raising children.

Oscar-winning Actress Diane Keaton Dead At 79 – Report

Actress Diane Keaton, known for her Oscar-winning performance in 1977’s “Annie Hall” and her role in “The Godfather” films, has died at age 79, People magazine reported Saturday.

Details were not immediately available, and Keaton’s loved ones have asked for privacy, a family spokesperson told People, which confirmed that the actress died in California.

Keaton, a style icon, was a frequent collaborator of director Woody Allen, portraying the titular character in “Annie Hall,” the charming girlfriend of Allen’s comic Alvy Singer.

The film also garnered Oscars for best picture, best director and best original screenplay, cementing Keaton’s place as one of the industry’s top actresses and an offbeat style icon as well.

The actress made her mark co-starring in eight Allen movies, from “Play in Again Sam” (1972) to “Manhattan” (1979) and “Manhattan Murder Mystery” (1993).

As the Hollywood sexual harassment scandals detonated in late 2017, cascading from producer Harvey Weinstein to heavyweight actors like Kevin Spacey, old accusations of child sex abuse against Allen by his adoptive daughter Dylan, resurfaced.

“Woody Allen is my friend and I continue to believe him,” Keaton tweeted in January 2018.

A BAFTA and Golden Globe winner, Keaton scored Oscar nominations three other times for best actress, for “Reds,” “Marvin’s Room” and “Something’s Gotta Give.”

In “The Godfather” films, she played Kay Adams, the girlfriend and eventual wife of Al Pacino’s Michael Corleone.

Late in her career, Keaton starred in two movies about ageing women: “Book Club” (2018), with its message that love has no age, and “Poms” (2019).

“Poms” is the story of Martha, a terminally ill woman who moves to a retirement community to die, but winds up forming a cheerleading squad made up of female senior citizens.

As for ageing, Keaton said in a 2019 interview with AFP that life actually got easier.

“I think so, because what have you got to lose? It’s like it’s the truth. That’s what it is. You face it, we talk about it,” she said.

Born Diane Hall in Los Angeles on January 5, 1946, Keaton was romantically involved with Allen, Pacino and Warren Beatty, but never married.

“Most people in the movies get married at some point, and then they divorce. But I’ve never even got married. I am (a) failure,” she joked in the 2019 interview.

Did she regret it? “I don’t think about it a lot, but I’m aware of the fact that I’m unusual in that regard, and maybe I did miss out on something — but then, nobody can have everything, right?”

She is survived by her two children, Dexter and Duke.

Nigerian rapper Erhiga Agarivbie, popularly known as Erigga, has revealed that he can’t quit music, stressing that he is doing it for passion and not for financial gains.

In an interview with Hip TV, Erigga noted that every year, some of his colleagues leave the music industry due to various circumstances.

However, he said he can’t quit because music is his life.

The rapper emphasised that his passion for music supersedes the financial and social benefits.

“Every year, people leave music for real-life issues. But I can’t stop. Music is life. It’s what keeps me going. Take the business and everything out of it, it’s more of a passion. I can’t disappoint my fans,” Erigga said.
