Man arrested for raping his stepdaughter, 13, multiple times in Akwa Ibom

Joseph Sunday Essien, 45, is accused of sexually abusing Patience Edet Edem on 4 different occasions. The girl reported to her mother but the woman didn't believe the child. She only believed when she caught him in the act.

The State Police Commissioner, Musa Kimo, while parading the suspect said that the father carried out the last heinous act on January 13, 2019.

The mother of the victim, who married the suspect after the death of her former husband - the father of the victim - said that her recent husband left her in their bedroom on the day of the final abuse and snuck into the girl's room to rape her.

She described her husband as wicked and vowed never to return to their home.

However, the suspect denied the allegations. While speaking to newsmen, he said his wife and her daughter made up the allegation as a result of issues they had.

Higuain Joins Chelsea On Loan from Juventus

Higuain Joins Chelsea On Loan from Juventus

 

Gonzalo Higuain

Chelsea have completed the signing of Argentina striker Gonzalo Higuain, who joined the club on loan from Juventus until the end of the season, the English Premier League club said on Wednesday.

Higuain joins Chelsea after his year-long loan spell with AC Milan was cut to less than six months.

The deal reunites the striker with Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri, who was manager of Napoli when Higuain was at the club.

“When the opportunity to join Chelsea presented itself I had to take it.

“It’s a team I’ve always liked that has a lot of history, a wonderful stadium and they play in the English Premier League, a league I’ve always wanted to play in,” Higuain said in a statement on the Chelsea website.

“I now hope I can give back that trust Chelsea have shown me out on the pitch. I can’t wait to start and I hope to adapt as soon as possible.”

The deal, however, has come too late for him to face Tottenham Hotspur in the League Cup semi-final second leg on Thursday.

The 31-year-old did not sign before Wednesday’s midday deadline and cannot therefore play against Spurs at Stamford Bridge in a match Chelsea trail 1-0 from the first leg.

Higuain’s spell at AC Milan started with six goals in seven games but he has only scored once in his last 12 appearances.

Sarri hopes he will rediscover the form that saw him score 38 times in their final season together at Napoli in 2015/2016.

“He has had some difficulties recently, but we’re hoping we can raise him back to his best form,” Sarri told reporters on Wednesday.

“He’s still scored eight goals in a team that isn’t at the same level as Juventus.

“He’s a very strong striker. Especially in my first season in Naples. He scored 36 goals in 35 matches in Serie A. For sure, he is one of the best strikers in my career.”

Sarri was keen to boost his goalscoring options after dropping misfiring Spain forward Alvaro Morata and deploying playmaker Eden Hazard as a `false nine’ in recent games.

Asked if the arrival of Higuain was a sign that the club are behind him, Sarri said: “I hope so.

“I think the club agree with me when I told them my opinion about the team.

“The January market is very difficult, especially for a striker. It’s very difficult in January to find one of the most important strikers in the world.”

Chelsea are in the fourth and final UEFA Champions League qualifying spot in the English Premier League standings, three points ahead of Arsenal who beat them 2-0 on Saturday.

Real Madrid Becomes World's Richest Club Again, Knocks Off Man United

Real Madrid Becomes World's Richest Club Again, Knocks Off Man United

 

Real Madrid players

Real Madrid has topped the table of the world's 20 richest football clubs, displacing Manchester United with record revenues of €750.9m (£674.6m).

Man Utd slipped to third with Barcelona making it the first Spanish one-two since 2014-15, said Deloitte.

Its Football Money League, based on season 2017-18, also shows the combined revenues of the top 20 clubs has risen 6% to €8.3bn (£7.4bn), a new record.

There were a record six English Premier League clubs in the top 10.

'Outstanding performance'

The list, the 22nd of its kind, only looks at revenues and does not take into account club debts. This gap this year between the top two places was the second widest yet, with €60.5m between the leading pair.

Real Madrid won their third successive Champions League, beating Liverpool 3-1 in Kiev last May.

That helped raise income for Los Blancos, who have now topped Deloitte's money league 12 times.

The club experienced commercial growth of €54.8m, including an increase in sponsorship and merchandising revenues, as well as exploitation of increasingly lucrative pre-season tour matches.

At €356.2m, Real Madrid now have the highest commercial revenue of any football club globally, contributing to those world-record revenues.

Dan Jones, head of Deloitte's sports business group, said: "Real Madrid's outstanding financial performance in 2017-18 is built on their long history of success on the pitch, most recently three consecutive Champions League titles.

"This has enabled the club to continue to drive commercial revenue as the appetite to partner with Europe's most successful clubs remains stronger than ever."

He said most of Deloitte's top 10 of our top 10 were through to the round of 16 in this season's Champions League and forecasting further revenue growth.

'Big five'

Bayern Munich and Manchester City completed the top five, retaining their positions from the past two years.

Paris St-Germain, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Tottenham Hotspur occupied places six to 10, with Spurs making it into the top tier for only the second time, having last appeared in 2006-07.

Everton were in 17th spot, Newcastle United 19th, and West Ham United 20th.

All the 20 clubs represented are from the "big five" European leagues, with Italy having four places, Germany and Spain contributing three clubs, and France one.

Other findings include:

Spurs have capitalised on playing a full season at Wembley Stadium which has seen match-day revenue increase by 54%

Paris Saint-Germain have reversed two consecutive years of decline

AS Roma and AC Milan return to the top 20 thanks to performances in Uefa competition.

Turkish giants Besiktas have achieved their highest ever ranking, at 26th.

"The substantial presence of Premier League clubs continues to be felt in this year's Deloitte Football Money League," said Deloitte's Sam Boor.

"However, with the Premier League's tender for the next cycle of domestic rights from 2019-20 complete and sale of overseas rights nearing conclusion, it is clear that Premier League clubs will be unable to rely on explosive growth in broadcast distributions as a source of future growth, as has been the case in recent years.

"As a result, we expect an even greater emphasis among these clubs on generating their own growth in the coming season, and in particular the optimisation of commercial revenue, which has been a key area for differentiating growth across most of Europe's leading clubs in recent years."

Arsenal vs Manchester United: Gary Neville predicts FA Cup clash at Emirates

Arsenal vs Manchester United: Gary Neville predicts FA Cup clash at Emirates

Former Manchester United captain, Gary Neville, has said their FA Cup fourth round against Arsenal on Friday night, will be “a good game”.

Speaking on Sky Sports, Neville stated that he expects both teams to go for it at The Emirates.

The Gunners beat Chelsea 2-0 at home last weekend, while United are on a seven-game winning run.

“This will be a good game because Manchester United will go for it — and so will Arsenal.

“Arsenal have a top coach in Unai Emery and are improving. They are still a little bit ‘old Arsenal’ but you can see the difference now.

“Just look at the performance in the 2-0 win against Chelsea in the Premier League last Saturday.

“Having said that, Emery needs four or five transfer windows to get things right,” he said.

“I Have The Answers To Make Nigeria Right,” Donald Duke Tells Nigerian Voters

“I Have The Answers To Make Nigeria Right,” Donald Duke Tells Nigerian Voters

The presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Donald Duke, has warned that Nigeria will be in further trouble if Nigerians make the wrong choice in the February 16 presidential election.

While speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Friday, January 25, 2019, Duke said the country will be at risk if Nigerians don’t get it right at the polls.

The former Cross River State governor said he has the answers to set the country on the path to progress if elected president.

He said, “I see a nation in dire straits that seems to be quivering and not knowing what to do with itself and I think I have the answers to make it right and that’s really why I’m going for it.

“I know that if we don’t get it right, all of us are at risk. We’re all endangered species one way or the other. The poverty that prevails our nation, the insecurities which are a symptom of the poverty; someone has to step forward and do it. We can’t sit back and hope that it will happen.”

The candidate also disclosed that if elected president, four of the things he’ll focus on are skills, health, infrastructure and technology.

Buhari Empowers 15,000 Youths, Fed 300,000 Pupils In Anambra – Ngige

Buhari Empowers 15,000 Youths, Fed 300,000 Pupils In Anambra – Ngige

The minister of labour and employment, Dr. Chris Ngige said President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration empowered 15,000 youths from Anambra state and fed over 300,000 pupils under his administration’s school feeding programme.

Ngige, who made this revelation at Holy Trinity field, Onitsha during All Progressive Congress, APC campaign flag off urged the people of the state to ignore some people he described as attention seekers and vote President Buhari and other APC candidates come February 16 poll.

On his part, the National Chairman of APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomole noted with regret that lots of Nigeria leaders bear Igbo names but were unable to complete any tangible project in the entire southeast.

“Some of them answer names like Ebele Azikiwe without a trace of any achievement in the zone throughout their tenure. But President Muhammadu Buhari within his three and half years as Nigeria president, completed and commissioned Zik’s mausoleum, paid for a contract of second Niger bridge and also intensified effort to complete the Enugu-Onitsha expressway.

Oshiomole, however, urged the Igbo not to be received but vote APC and President Buhari as he has lots of goodies for the Igbo people.

Speaking, President Muhammadu Buhari said his administration has made achievement in three key areas of security, economic growth and corruption. “Before we came on board, Boko Haram captured about seven local government Areas in Borno state but today, through the effort of my administration, Boko Haram is no longer holding any local government hostage.

“Our economy has improved greatly under my watch and we are not relenting in fighting corruption. This administration has succeeded in fighting corruption to a standstill in Nigeria. All the loopholes by which politicians steal our commonwealth have been blocked” he said.

Nearly $1 million in cash stolen from Mugabe's house, court told

Nearly $1 million in cash stolen from Mugabe's house, court told

General Assembly at the United Nations in New York.<br />A Zimbabwe parliament committee has summoned former president Robert Mugabe to give evidence on May 23, 2018, about diamond corruption alleged to have cost billions of dollars during his rule. / AFP PHOTO / GETTY IMAGES NORTH AMERICA / Kevin Hagen

Nearly a million dollars in cash was stolen from a suitcase owned by ousted Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe, state media reported Friday, as three suspects including a relative of the former leader face trial for the theft.

According to updated court papers Mugabe had filled the bag with a million dollars and stashed it in the library of his country home in Zvimba, west of the capital, in 2016.

Only $78,000 was found in the bag on January 6 this year, according to The Herald citing court documents.

The three accused — which include Constancia Mugabe, 50, a relative of the president — appeared before Chinhoyi magistrates court on Thursday and were ordered to return on February 7.

The suspected thieves are accused of spending the money on cars, houses and farm animals.

Mugabe’s whereabouts have been unconfirmed since late November when President Emmerson Mnangagwa, his successor, said the ailing 94-year-old was in Singapore for medical treatment and was now unable to walk.

His 37-year reign was marked by state corruption, economic collapse and brutal repression of dissent.

According to prosecutors Constancia Mugabe had keys to Mugabe’s rural house allowing the other suspects, who were employed as cleaners, to gain full access to the property when the theft occurred.

The court earlier this month heard that the three suspected thieves had stolen $150,000, but the updated court papers released on Thursday showed that he lost $922,000.

US dollars are prized in crisis-hit Zimbabwe, where a currency crisis was one of the reasons behind deadly protests that rocked the country last week.

The protests were sparked by a steep increase in the price of fuel and an ensuing security crackdown claimed a dozen lives – mainly from gunfire – and the injury of hundreds.

More than 1,100 people have been arrested in the crackdown.

Always In Money! Check Out 5 Nigerian Celebrities Who Were Born Rich (Photos)

Always In Money! Check Out 5 Nigerian Celebrities Who Were Born Rich (Photos)

Being born rich doesn't mean you can actually get everything in life (Even though there is a possibility) but it certainly has its own perks when you are a celebrity.

However, some of these celebrities can be excluded from those who started from scratch as they were born rich or from well to do families. Let’s not take away the fact that it was their hard work that led them to become A-list stars in Nigeria.

We got a number of celebrities who were born with a silver spoon but on our list today we want to share with you guys, five of your favourite celebrities who were born rich.

1. DJ Cuppy

Florence Ifeoluwa Otedola popularly known as DJ Cuppy unarguably is one of the richest celebrity kids in Nigeria. She is not just a rich kid but the heiress to the billionaire dynasty of her father, Femi Otedola. She bagged her first degree in Business and Economics from Kings College in London and a masters degree in Music Business from famous New York University.

Since her emergence in the entertainment industry some few years ago, DJ Cuppy has become one of the most talked about celebrities around. She isn’t just a rich kid but a beautiful and hardworking one. When Cuppy isn’t on the wheels of steel, she is making good music. Trust us when we say this 26 years old beauty will be here for a long time.

2. Davido

If there is any celebrity from this part of the world with a penchant for hard work, that person is the one and only David Adeleke also known as Davido. However, Davido is one of those kids who doesn't really have to raise their hands to do anything but will remain rich forever! 

Yes, guys, Davido is from the Adeleke family which is widely known to have a series of conglomerates spread across all the sectors in the economy. Not to forget that their family has one of the biggest political structures in the country. Davido has a degree in Music from Babcock University, a private institution in Nigeria.

3. Ademola Adedoyin

Ademola Adedoyin might be said to be one of the new kids in the block when it comes to celebrities who have made a name for themselves in the entertainment industry. Now let’s break it down for you guys, Ademola Adedoyin who is fast becoming one of the most sought after actor in Nollywood is the 10 child of the famous industrialist, Samuel Adedoyin, CEO of Doyin Group of Companies.

Calling Ademola a blue blood kid won’t be challenged by anyone as he grew up into a family which has been known for more than four decades for their wealth. Ademola Adedoyin M.Sc in Media and Communication from the Metropolitan University Of London and also studied Film Directing at Central Film School, London.

4. L.A.X.

Damilola Afolabi also known as L.A.X. appears to be one of those humble celebrities around but the truth is he is not your everyday star. L.A.X. is the son to billionaire industrialist, Taiwo Afolabi of Sifax Group.

Like we said at the beginning of this article, some celebrities despite their fame can decide not to work a single day of their lives and can still afford all the good things of life. L.A.X. falls into that group. He isn’t just rich but has degrees from some of the best universities in the world which includes The Stanford University where he bagged a masters degree from.

5. Neato C 

When Naeto C joined the music industry over a decade ago, there was something unique about him. We knew he was the rich kid in the game and he wasn't shy to let anyone know that he was rich but super talented. Naetochukwu Chikwe is the son to foremost politician, Kema Chikwe.

According to Naeto C (Even though it is yet to be challenged), he is the first MC with a masters degree. Naeto C has a degree in Biology from George Washington University and a masters degree in Energy Studies from the University of Dundee in Scotland. From the way we see it, Naeto C looks like one of those celebrities who might eventually join politics in the future.

Jose Mourinho Reveals How He Nearly Died While Trying To Defy UEFA Match Ban

Jose Mourinho Reveals How He Nearly Died While Trying To Defy UEFA Match Ban

Jose Mourinho has finally revealed all about his infamous laundry basket incident as Chelsea boss in 2005... admitting he was close to death.

Last night, working as a pundit for beIN Sports, the Special One admitted for the first time he tried to defy a two-match Uefa ban by hiding in a laundry basket.

Mourinho, now 55, had been slapped with the ban for his behaviour in the previous round of the Champions League against Barcelona.

Now, the former Manchester United boss has admitted he was in the laundry basket... and nearly suffocated.

When asked if he was in fact in the lbox full of dirty kit, Mourinho - who last night claimed he has turned down three jobs since being sacked by Manchester United last month - incredibly revealed: "Yes, yes I was.

"The fundamental thing of it is - Chelsea vs Bayern Munich, a big match in the Champions League. I need to be with my players… and I did it, yeah.

"Let me tell the story. You know Stewart Bannister, the Chelsea kit man. Skinny Stewart. I go to the dressing room during the day, so I was there.

"I'm there since midday, and the game is seven o'clock. I just want to be in the dressing room when the players arrive.

"So I go there, nobody sees me. The problem was to leave after.

"Stewart put me in the basket. The metal one, the hard one. Puts me in there.

"I go in there with a little bit open, so I could breathe, but when Stewart is taking that outside the dressing room, outside the stadium, the Uefa guys are there desperate to find me.

"So when I was there, Stewart closed the box. I couldn't breathe. When he opened the box, I was dying.

"I'm serious. I was close to dying. I'm serious, I promise. It's true, it's true."

Mourinho was retelling the incredible tale to Andy Gray, Jimmy-Floyd Hasselbaink and Richard Keys - who were all rendered hysterical - during Arsenal's 2-0 win over Chelsea last night.

Mr Eazi opens up on how he met his girlfriend, Temi Otedola

Mr Eazi opens up on how he met his girlfriend, Temi Otedola while also clarifying that DJ Cuppy didn’t introduced him to her.

In an interview posted on Tunde Ednut’s Instagram page, the singer said he met Temi when her sister, DJ Cuppy, who is his friend invited him for one of her numerous events in London, United Kingdom.

He further said they were left at the same table and got talking after DJ Cuppy left the table for the stage to perform.

He said, “I met Temi in London. It was an event, her sister invited me for an event. Her sister was playing at the event, somewhere in Nightbridge and she said, oh come out come out, follow me to this event, so I followed her to the event and then she was deejaying and all of a sudden it was just me and Temi sitting down and just watching her.”

However, Eazi said the celebrity disc jockey didn’t, at any point, formally introduce Temi as her sister or him as a friend.

“Not really, she didn’t like meet my sister, you know, she invited her sister, she invited me. And by the time her sister came, she was already playing, so her sister came to the table and it was me and her. So, obviously, you have to socialise, so I said, Hi what’s up, my name is Mr Eazi.”

Biafra: Nnamdi kanu Explodes In January 19 Broadcast (Audio)

 

The leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has reechoed his earlier stance that he and members of his secessionist group will boycott the general elections in Nigeria.

Kanu, who made this comment on Saturday evening during a live broadcast or radio Biafra, reiterated that members of his group and all “Biafrans” will boycott next month’s general elections in “Biafraland” except their demands are met by the Federal Government.

This online news medium understands that Kanu, who is based in Israel, is demanding for a referedum as a bargain for voting in the forthcoming elections.

Naija News reports that Kanu’s statement is coming a few days after he said members of his group will participate in the forthcoming governorship elections in Abia and Ebonyi state.

Kanu who made this comment during a live interactive broadcast on radio Biafra last week Saturday which was monitored by Naija News said this became imperative in order to vote out Ikpeazu and Umahi whom he described as “enemies of Biafra“.

Giving reasons for his decision on the participation of his group in the forthcoming election, Kanu had said: “Because we said we are not going to vote doesn’t mean we can’t mobilise to have you voted out. That’s what will happen in Abia and Ebonyi. Perhaps if we keep quiet all the time, they’ll think, since they’re not going to vote does it really matter?

“But we have a very special programme for Abia and Ebonyi. They’ll find it difficult. The day people will realise the damage people like Umahi are doing to our people, they will understand why we must get rid of them in the corridors of power,” the IPOB leader had added.

Naija News reports that Kanu is leading a group seeking secession from Nigeria. The group has since been proscribed by the Nigerian government.

I will end ASUU strike in Nigeria-Moghalu

Nigeria News

I will end ASUU strike in Nigeria-Moghalu

The presidential candidate of the Young Progressives Party (YPP, Kingsley Moghalu said if he is elected as president he will put an end to persistent strike by Nigerian university lecturers.

“I will end ASUU strike in Nigeria,” Moghalu stated this during the 2019 presidential candidate debate held at Congress Hall of the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja.

“Every young man or woman must know how to run a business. We will invest in our how children learn,” he added.

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU)industrial strike has become recurrent over the years. The strike actions are usually as a result of the federal government not responding to lecturers demands at the time they ask for it.

The union’s first strike action since Nigeria returned to democracy was in 1999 under the former president Olusegun Obasanjo, and it lasted five months before it was called off.

In 2001, ASUU embarked on another strike action that lasted three months. The lecturers also embarked on strike in 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2017 and the latest which started on 4th November 2018 is still ongoing.

The recent strike started following the demands of the lecturer union for the implementation of previous agreements with the government for improved funding of universities.

Three months after, the Nigerian government has failed to reach to meet the demands.

Recently the minister of labour, Chis Ngige said the accountant general and the ministry of finance have confirmed with evidence that N15.4 billion had been released to public universities.

Ngige also said President Muhammadu Buhari has approved N20 billion to be used to offset the outstanding arrears of the 2009 to 2012 verified earnings in the universities.

He said the earned allowances will be released to ASUU as soon as the process is completed.

However, the president of the union Biodun Ogunyemi has described the government’s offer on the outstanding revitalization fund of N1.1 trillion as tokenism, said members insisted that government should release at least a tranche of N220 billion spread over four quarters of 2019.

He affirmed that on earned allowances, government’s proposal should not be lesser than the total amount released “the last time” out of the verified balance.
