B*R*E*A*K*I*N*G News! Boko Haram Denies Dialogue with Govt.

**this was no Meccah meeting with us
**fear Allah before they get into the hands of Allah’s army.
**govt must embrace the Holy Quran/Sharia as the final law in the land or there will no peace in Nigeria.

The leadership of Jamaatu ahlis sunnah lil daawati wal jihad, popularly known as Boko Haram, has again, denied engaging in talks with the Nigerian government, contrary to widespread reports that the sect had re-entered into dialogue with the government.
The group made this denial in an email to PREMIUM TIMES on Wednesday evening.

The sect not only denied talks with the government, but also described the purported press statement by one Abu Muhammad, who claimed to be the second in Command to the sect’s leader, Abubakar Shekau, as the creation of the media.
The sect said its position on dialogue was made clear in a recent video address by its leader, where Mr. Shekau foreclosed any possibility of dialogue with the government, but which it said many media houses ignored, but were quick to publicise the “purported Meccah meeting”.
The sect recalled that it was because of such misrepresentations by the media that it attacked Thisday Newspaper, adding that as far as it is concerned, “those who fight us with guns and those who use pen are one and the same”.
The sect also said it is aware that many people were using its name to get huge sums of money under the pretext that they would “arrange dialogue with us”.
It called on such fake intermediaries to “fear Allah before they get into the hands of Allah’s army”.
In the statement, the sect said since the Federal Government “lured and arrested one of our leaders, Abu Darda who was sent to dialogue on our behalf and also frustrated the one facilitated by a journalist, Ahmad Salkida and headed by Dr. Ibrahim Datti, we have foreclosed any possibility of talks with the government”.
The group says it is aware Mr. Datti had entered into a fresh round of talks with the government.
It therefore warned Mr. Datti to “respect his age and desist forth with”.
The sect added that the only guarantee to peace is the full implementation of Sharia in Nigeria.
“As long as the government has not put aside the constitution and embrace the Holy Quran as the final law in the land, government should stop dreaming of peace because we will never stop fighting,” it said.

"I'M HERE IN NIGERIA TO FIND GOLDIE" -PREZZO

Kenyan representative in the just concluded Big Brother Stargame show has confirmed his ‘huge interest’ in Nigerian singer, Goldie.

The 34-year-old, decked in a flowing cream coloured agbada regalia, made this known during a media parley held for him today, Wednesday, August 22, 2012 at The Place, in Ikeja, Lagos. He stated his interest in the singer asking that he be forgiven for ‘mistreating’ her, blaming it on the feeling of paranoia that engulfed him while in the house.


According to him, ‘I went into the house with the mind to make my country proud and make the money and along the line, I developed feelings for Goldie and I still do up till now as I speak‘.

Asked about the status of his relationship with Goldie, he stated that he is yet to see her and that is his reason for coming to Nigeria.

‘I haven’t spoken to Goldie yet and that’s why I am actually here’.

Prezzo, with real names Jackson Makini came second in the show and as a ONE campaign ambassador, will be performing alongside Jay Z in a show to hold in U.S later in the month.

This guy is serious oooo..What do you guys think?

Edo State Prostitute Murdered By Her Italian Lover In Turin, Italy(PHOTOS)


An Italian man has been arrested over the murder of a Nigerian prostitute after police searching her apartment found a short story he wrote with close similarities to the killing.

Police in the northern Italian city of Turin discovered the nine-page story entitled "The Rose and the Lion" among the belongings of Anthonia Egbuna, whose body was fished out of the river Po in February, a Carabinieri spokesman told Reuters on Wednesday. She had been stabbed to death.

Police took some months to identify the body and then visited Egbuna's apartment last month.

After finding 34-year-old Ughetto Piampaschet's short story, police say they discovered he had been in a relationship with Egbuna, then 19, between February and August of last year.

They alleged in a statement that he murdered her in November because their relationship was going badly and she refused to give up prostitution - in what appeared to be a link to the short story.

"He loved her and he loved her more every day, but she did not want to leave the streets. All his efforts to convince her to change her life had failed. And for this reason she had become his torturer," reads an excerpt of the story quoted by police.

In the short story, the murderer strangles the Nigerian prostitute and then commits suicide.

"He wrote the story and gave it to her as a gift - to make himself look good," Ughetto Piampaschet's lawyer, Stefano Tizzani, told Reuters.

Tizzani said Ughetto Piampaschet had a "profound passion" for Africa and Nigeria, and saw Egbuna as an inspiration for his writing. "My client has declared his innocence and we are working to demonstrate it," Tizzani said.

Ughetto Piampaschet told investigators after his arrest that his relationship with Egbuna changed after he started dating another Nigerian woman last August, though he remained in contact with her.

His lawyer said his client stopped seeing Egbuna after he was threatened by people who control the Nigerian prostitution business in Turin.

"He stopped calling her after he was threatened and intimidated and told not to see her anymore," said Tizzani.

PHOTO:Police Parade Suspected Killers of Miss Cynthia Udoka Osukogu

Exactly one month after Miss Cynthia Udoka Osukogu was killed in a hotel room in Festac, Lagos, the police on Wednesday paraded two undergraduates who confessed to killing her.

The suspects, one Okwuoma Echezona Nwabufo, 33, and his maternal cousin Odera Ezekiel Ilechukwu, 23 were presented to journalists at the Command Headquarters, Ikeja.

While Okwuoma claims he is a 300 level Accounting student at the University of Lagos, Ezekiel also studies Accountancy at the Anambra State University.

However, journalists were not allowed to take pictures of the suspects' faces.

Okwuoma, who said Cynthia was his friend, admitted that they drugged the deceased by injecting 10 Refnol tablets into three packets of Ribena drink they offered her.

The suspect claimed that he invited the deceased from Abuja to Lagos.

According to him, their mission was to dislodge her of her possessions, while the drug was to make her weak and loss memory of everything that transpired between them.

"Cynthia was my friend, we met through blackberry group chat and we had mutual understanding before she came to Lagos on Sunday, July 21.

“The deceased was coming to buy stocks for her boutique in Abuja, so I thought that maybe she would have enough money with her and we planned to collect her belongings," Okwuoma said.

The suspect said the deceased was killed at Concilia hotel, not too far away from his Sixth Avenue, Festac, residence.

Narrating how they killed Major-Gen. Frank Osukogu’s only daughter, the suspect said they tied her with celotape and a chain, adding that when she struggled with them, he held her excessively to ensure she did not shout.

"I invited her and in the process, we had disagreement so, I felt like robbing her of all she has, “he policemen.

When asked if he raped Cynthia and why there was condom in the hotel room, the suspect said he did not rape her, claiming the condom was used for something else.

"I used it on her based on the vibrator she had. She came with a vibrator and so I inserted the condom on it and later dropped it there. I did not sleep with her, if the police carryout a forensic test on it, they will see that I didn't use it on her," he said.

Okwuoma confessed that the deceased was the fifth person he has drugged even as he stated that other victims did not die.

"I have done it four times before her but none of the girls died. I sleep with them and after they take the drink, they will loss memory of everything that happened to them.

"I am not happy about what happened because I didn't bargain to kill her. It is unfortunate and the work of the devil," Okwuoma said.

"My Mother Is Half-Canadian, So I Am Half-Caste" - Tonto Dikeh

Tonto Dike on Set of a movie
You shot into Nigerians’ consciousness on the set of the Next Movie Star, you didn’t clinch that star prize and one would have thought that would have been the end. What happened?
I think the person who won is my friend and I’m happy for him, I just try to be a winner on my own since I didn’t win then and that makes me a winner now.

Since you left that house a lot of things have happened in your life, if you look back now, where would you say your career is now?
It’s in a very good place considering the fact that I’m just six years in the industry, nobody has come this far in six years in the history of Nollywood, asides I and Mike Ezeronye, it’s a big deal for me but I am totally not satisfied at all.

What do you think that you did differently?
I am not sure, I have seen great artistes in the industry, I have seen people who I look up to and I try to feel what they do sometimes and they are not there anymore, so I can’t really say what is it that makes me kind of , I just do it. That’s me.

People believe that you are weird and wild?
I’m weird and wild? That’s a double, I don’t know what it is that makes people say that I am weird and wild, I guess that you are talking about my movies or some of my movies because I have done a lot of movies with roles that are like that, I don’t think that you are talking about me personally, weird I don’t know but wild I understand where they are coming from.

So who is Tonto then?
I’m just me basically, I just love to work hard, be me, feel free, I don’t owe anybody anything, I don’t want to be scared of anybody, I’m just a very strong woman and I have passion for my job.

Have you always thought of acting or circumstance brought you into acting?
Well, it wasn’t really circumstance, I have actually really loved acting but never saw the dream coming true because I was in school already when this thought came and I was doing a very good course which was Chemical Engineering, so I did not see myself in a thousand years leaving it for acting. Also I looked at it as impossibility but I just found a way to combine it and it worked for me and that was all.

Your lifestyles even in movies keep intriguing a lot of people that one is wont to ask can Tonto be tamed?
(Laughs)… Can Tonto be tamed?  Yeah, I can tame myself.

Are you sure? Can a man tame you?
What do you mean by ‘can a man tame me?’

I mean can you be in love, a lot of people see you as a strong woman, too strong to fall in love?
Everybody can be in love and most especially the strongest people that you think are very strong in the heart. They fall in love more you know, right?

Yeah, what about you?
I love to  love.  I love to love. I can’t deny love, anytime any day.

So that means a man is actually in Tonto’s heart?
No, I have no one really.

Tonto you are too beautiful to be single?
It’s not that I have been single for a very long time or that I will be single forever, but I took a decision and this is my decision.

Is it that you are kind of choosy?
No far from it, I am not choosy, we have some certain things that people don’t really actually appreciate. These are very little things that matter in love not the big ones.

There was a report you claimed that you can’t marry an Igbo man?
Well, I never said that. I think that happened on or  it was generated on April Fool’s day, I think somebody used that to mess with me as in ‘see what Tonto said,’ but it escalated so much that nobody could say it was April Fool’s thing  anymore.  I never said that. My mother is partially from Igbo. I don’t hate any tribe. How can I hate a human being?

Where is your mother from?
My mother is half-Canadian.

It was also reported that you had  quit smoking?
Yes I did.

How and when did you start smoking?
At the age of 13, I started smoking.

Have you quit for good and what made you quit, could it have been your health?
No, I didn’t quit by myself. I was watching a programme on TV  by Prophet T.B. Joshua and he was laying hands on people and healing people, I love to watch his programme and when he is praying, he says lay your hands on the TV and I just laid my hands that day and I actually needed something else from God but  not to quit smoking because I loved smoking, seriously I loved it and after praying I sat back and I think I slept off and I took a stick of cigarrete and I felt like crazy that I never could imagine that I took it up to smoke in the first place. It felt like poison.

It takes long to quit smoking, I learnt it is a gradual thing, how did yours happen so suddenly?
From the little I have told you it wasn’t natural.

Have you ever encountered TB Joshua before?
No but I am always on his tail, I watch him every day, I write him every time I can, I tweet on him, I love him. I think that he is a person that influences my life positively in a lot of ways just through the TV alone and I can imagine myself being in his church, Oh my God!

Maybe you would go to his church soon?
I don’t want to, I don’t want to somersault but I love watching him on the television.

You don’t want him to touch you?
Of course, I want him to touch me but you know people just have different movements when under the anointing and the other thing kind of takeover. I am not saying that it is a shame to be delivered but I wouldn’t want to share that with the whole world, I would appreciate if someday I could see him privately

You seem to have a different impression of that man of God; compared to what is in a section of  the media, what do you think is wrong?
First of all I have a very good Christian orientation and something that I know that the Bible has taught me is that we don’t have to talk about men of God, no matter what they are doing, whether it is wrong or right it is not in my place. I am following him because I think he is following Jesus so whatever it is, I don’t know. I just love him because he is a man of God and he has specially affected my life and my friends too not just me.

So I will be right to call you a TB Joshua disciple?
Oh yeah, but I am Pastor Chris’s daughter, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome.

That’s great; you seem to have controversial men of God as your spiritual leaders?
You call them controversial, I call them spiritual, (laughs).

Tell me about your passion besides acting?
Those are dreams that one has that one would say just hold on a little bit, that will come out soon.

What spurred your decision to give scholarships and  gifts to hundreds of children sometimes ago?
The idea was actually initiated by Mr. Seun  which I bought but it’s not far from what I always do, but it just came in a different package that instead of gathering multitude of children which I always do, we could actually give back to these ones who have done extremely well,  educationally, so that they can have something to look forward to and spur them if they  go back to school this year and say  “ I want to read hard so that I could get this scholarship again from Aunty Tonto or  if I could get this from Aunty Tonto then I need to work hard.”

So it was more like encouraging them because I found out that when you don’t appreciate people especially kids once they do something like their school work better.   I think they ought to have gifts and everything for their education when they do well, it helps  improve your ability in whatever  you are doing that you are appreciated, that you are  worthy of somebody appreciating you.  I wonder why we Africans don’t really do much of that. I am not saying charity works, I am saying personally but we learn every day.

I’m sure it’s something you want to continue?
Of course, yes. I would continue. Every December, but I don’t think we would be doing the exclusive every December.

Something that intrigues me about you are your tattoos, what did you have at the back of your mind when you had those tattoos?
I have a lot on my mind.

You love tattoos?
Yeah

Like how many do you have on your body?
I have stopped counting a long time ago.  I have stopped counting. (laughs)

Are they permanent?
Yes, they are permanent

It must have cost you a fortune to do that?
Most of them, most of them are really expensive.

Let’s talk about the new movie you are on the set now, what is it about, I mean you are looking different now?
This movie is called The Rebels  and it’s just another way to show you the huge gap between the poor and the rich, in this case we used the politicians, their duties and how they affect us, then the beggars, the destitutes on the street, and you know when money is assigned to take care of these people and they come to the street and they pack them up and put them somewhere that is really rough and they are deprived of good food and they are being maltreated especially deprived of  their happiness and everything that makes them is being taken away and somehow these people gathered enough strength and fought for freedom although a lot of them lost their lives but it’s something that they will sit back and say that they fought a good fight, it’s a wonderful film. I love it so much.

How do you feel you being made up like a destitute?
I feel normal, I have been like this for like 12 days, I even took a picture I think the 2nd day when I was on set


I follow you on twitter, and saw that you tweeted that you hope some people would not use some software mechanism to acquire votes, who really were you trying to get at?
Yes, I tweeted that and I was not trying to get at anybody personally, I just tweeted what I felt.

Ok, you wish people should just be honest?
Yes, that’s right.

How honest are you?
I try to be honest to people that deserves it, people that deserves my honesty.

A lot of people believe that you were trying to talk to Ini Edo there?
That’s what people thought, I don’t know why they should think that way, Ini Edo is a very good colleague of mine.

You have been around for a short term and you have made so much impact, is there anybody that you wished to co-star with in Hollywood and in Nollywood?
In Hollywood a lot of them, but I love Julia Roberts , she would be my first choice but if I have my way, I would want almost all of them. In Nollywood, it would be Aunty Joke Silva, everybody who acts with her comes out never the same, everything gets better, their acting gets better. I think it’s high time I worked with her too. I love her; I want to work with her.

Will Tonto marry an actor?
That might not be an impossibility, but judging by the way I work, it might be too much for a family to handle but definitely someone that would understand me would only or naturally be from the industry because we all do the same thing but it just can never happen because of the tight schedule unless it’s an artiste who is not working so much, even at that, there would be problem.

Where would Tonto be in the next five  years?
I don’t know I just wait for God to carry me there.

 Do you watch football and if yes, do you have any team you support?
No, I don’t watch football.

You play a lot of games on twitter, puzzles and the rest, how did you come up with such an idea?
Sometimes I get bored, sometimes I want to make friends happy, sometimes I just come with a mixed feelings within and just throw a game. They are happy, I am happy.

Do you go to church?
Yes, I do go to church

Christ Embassy?
For some time, I have not gone to Christ Embassy, I go to a church very close to me which is the Fireman Church but Christ Embassy is my church. I can attend any church but I’m a disciple in Christ Embassy.

How religious are you?
I am not religious, I’m just God’s child.

Lastly, you seem to be a car freak, you have got your Hummer here and a Range Rover Sports there and another sleek white SUV, what automobile do you have in your mind to acquire again?
I don’t know really..

What wont we catch Tonto wearing?
Back in the days, I would say a really long skirt but now I wear long skirts and it’s really sexy. I can wear bikini, I can wear anything, I can tie a wrapper. I tie gele, I wear track suits. I wear everything.

Well, a lot of actresses do go under the knife for one reason or the other, would Tonto do that and what part of your body would you like to do any implant or surgery?
Well I don’t know, it’s not something I want to talk about.

Some will do b00bs, some will do their bums?
One can do it, if only it will make one happy, we only have one life to live and  if that would make you happy, do it.

Do you plan to do one soon?
If it will make me happy.

 What part of your body will go under the knife first?
I don’t know, I didn’t say I will consider it, I said if it makes me happy, I will do it.

PHOTO:Another Miracle Baby Born With Allah Inscription On The Ear In Lagos


Months after a baby was born in Lagos with a Holy Quran in his hand, another miracle baby has again been born in Lagos. This time, the baby boy was born on Friday, August 17, 2012 at Alapere, Ketu, Lagos.

According to reports, the boy was born on the 29th day of Ramadan at Sekinah Hospital in Ketu. The birth was said to have been done through a caesarean section. Two days after his birth, the Arabic inscription of Allah was reportedly noticed on the left ear of the child by a family friend of his parents who came to visit them.
