| Cardi B and Offset dismiss woman's claims Offset got her pregnant | Mr Olumide's Blog Posted: 29 Dec 2017 03:14 AM PST  Sources close to the couple tell TMZ ... Offset's never personally met Celina Powell, who posted a picture of a sonogram Friday claiming she's having a baby girl ... and Offset's the baby daddy.  It's allegedly not the first time Powell's claimed other rappers as her baby daddy ... we're told her past accusations have included Fetty Wap and Chief Keef. She cops to the prior allegations too ... writing in her new post, "I know y'all like 'this bitch done faked hella pregnancies.'" While Offset claims he doesn't know Celina personally, the two have had contact in the past -- a video making rounds online shows the two during a FaceTime call -- but our sources say that was only Celina prank calling the Migos rapper after she somehow got his personal number.  culled from MPNB Mr Olumide's Blog |
| Artist faces backlash for painting giant penis on building | Mr Olumide's Blog Posted: 29 Dec 2017 02:39 AM PST  The building landlord ordered the cover-up at 303-305 Broome St. amid complaints from his neighbors that the anatomically detailed painting was indecent.  "At first, I thought it was a flower," said Ye Su, who works across the street at the Buddhist Guan Gong Temple. "I think they're crazy. We are a temple. There is a church there, a school, the park." Wing Ho, 57, owner of a laundromat next door to the mural, said he was shocked when artist Carolina Falkholt put the finishing touches on the enormous organ around 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve. "It's awful," said Ho. "It's making a lot of people upset and uncomfortable."  Falkholt, 40, of Sweden, issued a statement defending her decision to paint the penis that loomed so large over the local streets. "I felt like a d--- was needed," said Falkholt, who had just finished an abstract mural of a vagina on nearby Pike St. "The wallspace on Broome was a perfect fit for it ... Many in the neighborhood were stunned to see the painted phallus peering down on the streets. "I'm sure the building owner got an earful from the community," said Naomi Pena, president of the local education council. "My own children pointed out the mural to me — they're twins, age 8.

According to ThisDay: "The president was at the hospital on Wednesday night. He was very devastated when he saw his son, Yusuf, in a very critical situation. He was shaking his head, while looking at his son and thereafter angrily reprimanded his security officials for allowing Yusuf to leave home at that time of the day for power-bike racing. From the way the president spoke, it appears the security aides are in trouble. He spoke angrily. The Minister of Interior, Lt-Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazau (rtd); his FCT ministry counterpart, Alhaji Mohammed Bello; and the Senate President's wife, Mrs. Toyin Saraki; stayed throughout the night of Tuesday till Wednesday at the hospital with Hajia Aisha Buhari.

| Syndicate forges Cardinal Onaiyekan’s signature to obtain pilgrims’ visas | Mr Olumide's Blog Posted: 29 Dec 2017 12:59 AM PST  The arrested suspects were identified as Ikenna Aningwu, 28; Ebere Okere, 36; Toyin Dada, 36; Naboth Iyke, 35; and Yomi Alalade, 39. The suspects and others at large allegedly forged documents bearing the signature of Cardinal John Onaiyekan of the Catholic Archdiocese, St. James Catholic Church, Abuja. The cardinal was a former President of the Christian Association of Nigeria. PUNCH Metro learnt that they presented the documents to the Consulate General of the Italian Embassy on Victoria Island in order to secure six visas for intending Christian pilgrims to Rome. A police source disclosed to our correspondent that the embassy was suspicious of the documents and contacted the cardinal to verify the signature, which turned out to have been forged. The source said, "Sometime in November 2017, Aningwu and five other suspects at large conspired with Okere, Dada, Iyke and Alalade to forge documents for visas. Aningwu and the five others wanted to go for pilgrimage in Rome. It was learnt from another source that a petition was addressed to the Zone 2 Police Command, Onikan, Lagos, in respect of the alleged fraud. "The embassy pretentiously called the suspects that the visas were ready and they should come to pick them up. Aningwu was arrested when he went to pick one of the visas. Other members fled having got wind of his arrest. He led operatives to locations where four of the accomplices were arrested," the source added. The suspects were on Thursday arraigned in Igbosere Magistrate's Court on three counts bordering on forgery and fraud. The defendants, who were brought before Chief Magistrate A.F.O. Botoku, pleaded not guilty to the charges and elected summary trial. The magistrate granted them bail in the sum of N100,000 each with two sureties each in like sum and adjourned the case till January 17, 2018.  culled from MPNB Mr Olumide's Blog |

| Five Ways To Avoid Food Poisoning This Period Posted: 28 Dec 2017 09:37 PM PST  Jumia Food shares some measures. Refrigerate raw meat or poultry immediately Unless you are preparing raw meat or poultry immediately, put them in the refrigerator. This will prevent germs from taking over. Once it's in the refrigerator, however, don't keep it for more than two or three days. Defrost food safely The essential thing to remember is to not refrigerate food at room temperature. The safest way to defrost food is to actually do it in the fridge — moving it from the freezer to the fridge a day or so before you plan to cook it. If you microwave frozen food using the defrost settings, make sure to cook it immediately. Otherwise, bacteria has time and an ideal temperature in which to grow. Cool leftovers quickly If you have cooked food that you're not going to eat straight away, cool it as quickly as possible and store it in the fridge or freezer. Use any leftovers from the fridge within 2 days. Respect expiry dates Don't eat food that has past its expiry date, even if it looks and smells fresh. Use-by dates are based on scientific tests that show how quickly harmful bugs can develop in the packaged food. Wash your hands Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water and dry them before handling food, as well as after touching the bin, going to the toilet, blowing your nose or touching animals.  culled from Olu famous Mr Olumide's Blog |

The controller added that four of those who escaped died from bullet wounds when they tried to overpower prisons officers on duty. Oditah added that some of the prisons officials, who sustained different degrees of injuries, were receiving treatment in an undisclosed hospital. He explained that the escaped inmates seized utensils like knives, machetes and other dangerous materials to aid their escaped. The Controller of Prisons disclosed that the 400-capacity Ikot Epene Prisons currently houses 831 inmates. He assured that prison officials and other security agencies were working extra hard to recapture the remaining inmates, appealing to members of the public to assist the authority with useful intelligence that would aid the arrest of the fleeing prisoners. He noted that security had been tightened in and around all prison formations in the state to forestall breach of security.

| Posted: 28 Dec 2017 08:29 PM PST  Retired Rev Philip Clements, 79, broke up with Florin Marin, 24, after he was told he was too old to join in with his toyboy's late-night clubbing.The pair, who wed in April, had met on a dating site and Mr Clements sold his home in Sandwich, Kent, to buy their flat 1,500 miles away in Bucharest. Just days after Mr Clements handed over the keys to his lover the pair had an argument and split up. Mr Clements returned to the UK empty handed and now has to rely on friends for somewhere to stay. He said: "We used to go out to the cinema and shopping. He makes me laugh. We'd laugh a lot.  "I came over to England for some medical appointments for a fortnight in late August. When I returned, we had a disagreement."I was very lonely, not knowing the language or having any friends."Florin would spend a lot of time going out. He used to go to bed very late, sometimes 5am in the morning having been out nightclubbing or watching films."He said I wasn't allowed to go clubbing. It wasn't for old people. In my heart I didn't accept it but I trusted him."  But the former parish priest admits he didn't realise they would break up just days later — leaving him "very unhappy". He said: "I've lost everything really. I've lost my house and was in a poor state."But the retired clergyman thinks hope is not lost for their relationship as they are yet to divorce and they still talk regularly.

| Electrician accused of stealing phone kills witness | Mr Olumide's Blog Posted: 28 Dec 2017 12:59 PM PST  Olusegun, who just got admission to the institution, was reportedly stabbed to death by an electrician, Israel Oluranti. The suspect was arrested by policemen from the Agbado Police Division, led by the Divisional Police Officer, CSP Omonijo Sunday. PUNCH Metro learnt that Oluranti and Olusegun had attended a birthday party on Moshood Amao Street, Jafar, Ope-Ilu, Ogun State, with their respective friends on Christmas Eve. It was learnt that the two groups sat side-by-side at the event. While the party was on around 1am on Monday, one Lekan, a dancer and Olusegun's friend, went to the stage to entertain the gathering. He reportedly hurriedly dropped his mobile phone with somebody while going on stage, but could not recognise the person when he returned to his seat. As Lekan was searching for his Lenovo phone, Olusegun claimed that he saw Oluranti collect it – an allegation the suspect denied, leading to an altercation between him and the deceased. The deceased's close friend, Damilola Rotimi, told our correspondent that he was sleeping when some people from the event knocked on his door around 3am and informed him of the chaos. He said, "On getting to the party, the phone had been found on him (Oluranti) upon Farooq's (Olusegun) insistence. As people chided him, he became violent, smashed the bottle of the beer that he was drinking on his own head and attempted to stab Lekan. Olusegun's uncle, Kolawole Abiola, said his graduation from a vocational centre as a photographer was slated for next month. He said the family was devastated by the incident. "He wanted to study Business Administration at The Polytechnic Ibadan. He was living in a detached apartment in his parents' compound. Somebody came to wake him up that night to attend the party. The parents were shocked when they were informed us about his death in the morning," he added. However, in a chat with our correspondent, 21-year-old Oluranti, an electrician, denied stealing the phone and claimed that it was one, Sunday who killed Olusegun. The native of Abeokuta, Ogun State, said, "I was going to buy food around 11pm on Sunday when I saw Egbon (brother) KB. He said he had been looking for me so we could attend a Christmas Eve party together. "When Lekan was going on stage to dance, he did not know who he gave his phone to. He came back and started looking for his phone. I told KB that I wanted to go home and he stood up to see me off. The Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Abimbola Oyeyemi, said the case had been transferred to the Homicide Section of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Eleweran, for further investigation. Oyeyemi said, "Trouble started when an argument ensued over a missing phone and the deceased accused the suspect of being in possession of the phone. This infuriated the suspect consequent upon which he took one of the beer bottles around, broke it and stabbed the deceased in the chest.  culled from MPNB Mr Olumide's Blog |

| Posted: 28 Dec 2017 11:44 AM PST  The officers were identified as Wing Hong Lau and Wael Jaber, both 11-year veterans. The department's Internal Affairs Bureau will be reviewing every step of the officers' response to Tonie Wells' address in Crown Heights, an NYPD spokesman said. "The entire incident regarding any precinct communication and response issues are being reviewed by the department," the NYPD said in a statement.According to NY Daily News, Sources said the 22-year-old victim called 911 early Wednesday to report that she was in fear of her husband Barry Wells, 29, who was acting strangely. A high-ranking NYPD source with knowledge of the case said the two officers received "incomplete information" when they were told to check on Wells early Wednesday.  "The incomplete information may have caused a delay in the response," the source said. But the source noted that there was still no way to justify the decision to blow off the call. Cops were once again called to the couple's Sterling Place home at about 10 a.m. Wednesday, after neighbors heard Wells' 2-year-old daughter screaming inside. Responding officers found Wells on the bottom of a basement staircase with bruises around her neck. She appeared to have been strangled, cops said.  It was unclear how long the young mother's body was inside the house alone with the toddler. "She was just with us for the holidays," Well's aunt Katherine Rivera, 46, said Thursday, chocking back sobs. "We're in pain." Barry Wells, who wed the victim in March, was apprehended Wednesday night.  After spending several hours in police custody, the suicidal suspect was taken by ambulance to Kings County Hospital for a psychiatric evaluation, sources said. "Wells told police he wanted to kill himself after being detained on Wednesday," a source said. No charges were filed as of 2 p.m. Thursday. Wells was recently pregnant, but suffered a miscarriage after a domestic quarrel, a cousin told the Daily News. A police source said Wells was eight months pregnant when she lost her baby last month.  culled from MPNB Mr Olumide's Blog |
