Presidential Spokesman, Garba Shehu made the staggering revelation while speaking on a popular TV programme - Sunrise Daily on Channels TV Monday.

According to him, that was the death toll as at Saturday, January, 21, 2017 with others lying in very critical conditions. Before Shehu's comments, authorities had said about 54-65 people were killed.

Military authorities claim the accidental attack was carried out following an intelligence report about the movement of members of the Boko Haram sect in that region.

The federal government has directed the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) to investigate the circumstances surrounding the reported shooting in South Africa of the ongoing Big Brother Nigeria reality show.


Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has asked the NBC to determine whether Multi-Choice has breached the Nigerian Broadcasting Code in any way, by shooting the show in South Africa, as well as the issue of possible deceit, since the viewing public was never told that the event would be staged outside Nigeria.

“As a country of laws, only the outcome of the investigation will determine our next line of action,” Mohammed said in a statement on Tuesday.

Mohammed noted while concerned Nigerians have bombarded his office with calls to complain about what they regard as an anomaly – shooting outside the country a show meant for Nigerians, he urged them to remain calm while the NBC investigates the issue and submits its findings.

Sad News! Yvonne Nelson Mourns After Losing Loved One

Ghanaian Actress, Yvonne Nelson 

Ghanaian actress and producer, Yvonne Nelson has lost her dad.

According to details from her, the dad died on Monday. Yvonne confirmed the sad news early Tuesday but didn’t give further details, reports StarrFM.

Nelson had a sour relationship with her father before he died.


Disclosing why it was so, she said: “My dad was not a part of my life because he wasn’t there for me. So, I almost do not say anything about him because there is no relationship or love between us. My dad is like any other person out there because I didn’t have a chance to develop a relationship with him. We have each other’s phone numbers and he calls me when he feels like talking to me. It always feels like talking to a random person because there are absolutely no feelings whatsoever.”

She further added: “Sometimes our society makes it hard for us talk about things like this. But, it’s my story and I don’t have any other way to say it and I don’t want to sugar-coat it. He was never a part of my life and it is quite unfortunate. We actually have an ‘okay’ relationship and it’s not like I won’t talk to him if I see him today. But it ends there because we do not have a relationship. Talking to him is akin to talking to someone you don’t know.”

A man has shared the heartbreaking story of a UNIOSUN female student who allegedly died after hospital's refusal to treat her due to her inability to make an initial payment of N10,000.

Below is how a Facebook user, Ajewole T'Wizzy, shared the heartbreaking story on social media;


"Today being one of the saddest moment of my life.. I lost someone so dear to me, the person of Odeyinka Ganiyat Feyisara, someone that I just met in a short while thinking we were going to have a good time together.

"She was a nice person. I had the feeling that she was going to be one of the best female friends I ever had.. All my hopes were cut short when the news got to me that she died this morning after a mild sickness and the community hospital refused to begin treatments on her due to lack of funds which her parents could sort out after the whole treatment.

"Mere looking at it, they requested for just 10 thousand naira (#10,000) which I myself could afford at that moment...But I wasnt there for her, i got there just too late..#sobs..They didnt begin treatment on her.

"They just recommended some experimental drugs for her which ended up as an over dose, and lead to constipation...and i lost her, ..Odeyinka Ganiyat Feyisara.. I am so sorry i wasnt there when you needed me the most...I can never forget you.

"RIP..May your soul rest in perfect peace."

25-year-old Kenyan model and former Big Brother Africa housemate, Huddah Monroe has revealed that she had had intimate moments with Nigerian singer, Wizkid.

One of her fans accused her of looking for a way to get Wizkid's attention and should just go and have s*x with him instead of trying to massage the singer's ego.

Brilliant 16-year-old Boy Rejects N1.9 Billion Offer from US investors to Buy His Money-Saving Website (Photos)

Mohammed Ali 

A 16-year-old whizz kid has rejected a whopping £5million from US investors who offered to buy his money-saving website.

According to Sun UK, Mohammed Ali, 16, from Dewsbury, Yorkshire, has earned more than £40,000 after creating his own financial app for the stock market and a popular video game. And now the teenager is set to launch a price comparison site with 60-year-old business partner Chris Thorpe.


While there are many price comparison websites out there, Mohammed claims their site will be unrivalled – something investors may agree with him on.

The pair recently met a group of Americans in London to discuss an investment, who then offered “more than £5million” for the company.

Mohammed said: “We met the investors in London, they were a global data driven company, and they didn’t realise I created all the technology involved. “The offer was rejected in December, just before Christmas.

“The main reason we rejected the offer was because, if the technology and concept is worth millions already, just think how much it will be worth once people use it. “I understand this is a big risk for me but I want to create this as a household name, and at the same time make something for myself.

“The big thing about what we’re doing is that there are no competitors – this is a real time money saving expert – it’s like a Bloomberg for the general public.”

His latest venture – weneed1.com – has seen the tech-mad teen develop an algorithm “which provides real time quotes instead of the normal pre-fixed quotes you find on insurance sites”. It is designed to alert both buyers and sellers of available products. This can include properties and electronic items with prices being constantly updated.

The website is set to be launched on January 28 and he hopes its success will inspire more young people to get involved in tech ventures at a young age.

Mohammed has previously seen success with Project 2006, a video game which had a £5.99 per month subscription cost and made £30,000.

Mohammed, who still lives with his parents and siblings, said he became interested in computers from a young age. He even taught himself how to code just by reading books and watching YouTube videos.

Mohammed said: “Right now I work from the bedroom day and night but we’re launching this globally so we will need to travel more. “My mum used to hate me going on the computer all the time but I think she’s proud of what I’m doing now and my brother has been inspired by what I’m doing.

“I have learned everything from watching videos and books – there’s not much being done in schools and the education system is a bit messed up. “Anyone can revise for exams but I don’t think enough is being done to prepare people for getting out in the real world.

“I want other people to be inspired and I want to inspire young people to develop a work ethic – it disgusts me when you see young people just getting drunk on a Friday night.”

The teenager is still keeping up with school work however. As a sixth form student he is studying for English, geography and law A-levels.

He says his most extravagant purchase so far has been contributing £1,400 towards refurbishing his parents living room and tries to act wisely with his cash. Ali estimates he has earned around £41,000 from his businesses.

He said: “If I see some clothes or trainers I like I’ll buy them but most of my money is saved. “I look at the things I make as inventions and I like to be proud of building them up.

“People think you need to have a massive investment or to take out loans but you don’t – you can start small and build it up.”

No Going Back On Closure Of Abuja Airport – Amaechi

The Federal Government, on Monday insisted that there is no going back on its decision to close down the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja over its scheduled repairs.

Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, said this during the second Presidential business forum in Abuja. He stressed that the entire architecture of the airport’s runway had collapsed, adding that the facility built 34 years ago had outlived its 20-year lifespan.


Disclosing that a complete “rebuilding of the airport” will be done during the six weeks of closure, Amaechi said, “We are not going back on closure of Abuja airport. I understand that ‎Lufthansa landed and its gear got damaged and it has been here for three days.

“Stop Lying To Nigerians About Pres. Buhari’s Health” – Junaid Tells Presidency

Second Republic lawmaker, Dr. Junaid Mohammed, has lashed out at the Presidency saying they should stop lying to Nigerians over the health status of President Muhammadu Buhari.

He said Nigerians can’t afford to have another constitutional crises due to Mr. President’s health.

The Presidential spokesperson, Garba Shehu had attacked Mohammed on Monday saying he is suffering from pathological cynicism.


According to Shehu, “Mohammed’s kind of critics is toxic to national progress because they are only primarily interested in destroying every positive effort and achievements of the government and we advise Nigerians to be wary of prejudiced and biased critics like Dr. Junaid Mohammed who are more interested in personal publicity than respecting facts and figures about their claims”.

But reacting to Shehu’s statement, Mohammed said the Presidential spokesperson should stop telling Nigerians lies about Buhari’s health.

His words, “I believe Shehu is under pressure which is why he attacked me. However, I believe strongly they need to stop lying to Nigerians about Mr President's health. Can they actually tell what this medical leave or routine check-up is? They don’t seem to be telling us the truth”.

He maintained he has been President Buhari’s friend since when he was a second lieutenant in the Army, but that he cannot shy away from telling the President the truth anytime he misfires.

He said, “If I am to comment on issues that concern Nigerians, I won’t shy away from telling President Buhari the home truth anywhere he is making mistakes. I criticized General Abacha as Head of State and told him some truths in private and sometimes face to face. I believe if people can challenge their friends in power, it shows they are not intimidated by the powerful.

“If Aisha Buhari can say what she said about her husband, I think the President needs to check himself and retrace his steps on some issues that concerns the country. I think the question the President needs to ask himself is that after one he has taken over the reigns of power, what has changed? Is Nigeria better off than when he took over on May 29, 2015? The truth is that Nigeria is worse off today than when Buhari took over the reigns of power.

'Every Nigerian today is worse off and nothing seems to be working under this government. Some who are rich in 2015 cannot say same today due to the economic woes that Nigeria is presently experiencing and we cannot continue to close our eyes off it”.
