London Based Nigerian Doctor Commits Suicide After His Double Life Is Exposed

Dr. Festus Ojagbemi(Left) and Performer: Bamidele Ayeni(Right) is a popular singer from Nigeria, who was having an affair with Dr Ojagbemi

A cheating Nigerian-born Doctor who led a double life with two women for seven years and promised to marry both of them one month apart hanged himself when his secret was exposed, an inquest heard.

Dr Festus Ojagbemi, 49, known as ‘Wally’, who had a surgery in Strood, Kent, lived with long-term partner Jackie Hammond in the week and lover Bamidele Ayeni on weekends – for seven years.

He fathered a child with Miss Ayeni – a popular Nigerian singer known as Dele Achiever – and said he would wed them both, while racking up thousands of pounds worth of debt taking them on holidays.

Rihanna took her R & B/Pop gospel to the former soviet union country of Azerbaijan as she took centre stage at Baku’s Crystal Hall venue on Friday, October 5, 2012.

The singer who kept the crowd yearning for more in typical fashion was a cynosure of all eyes as she was decked in a sexy multi-coloured sarong and skin-tight crop-top.

They are obviously still Crazy In Love for each other and liked to be involved in each others’ work as much as possible. So perhaps this what Jay-Z was thinking when he asked wife Beyoncé to perform onstage with him in New York on Saturday.

However, he probably didn’t bank on getting so distracted by his wife’s leather-clad body that he missed his cue as she performed a couple of songs.

Looking every inch the curvy superstar, mother-of-one Beyoncé, performed her song Diva before Jay-Z joined her for Crazy In Love and Young Forever.

Although crowds were waiting for Jay-Z to come in the Crazy In Love sondtrack after the rapper, 42, became so distracted watching his wife on the monitors backstage he was heard saying: ‘Oh s**t, I should probably rap here.’

And when the song was finished as Beyoncé walked off the stage, Jay-Z gave her playful slap on the derriere.

Excerpts:

There is a difference between enthusiasm and unruliness. As unstoppable youths we need to be enthusiastic but not unruly.

Out of all the instruments mentioned in the bible for praising the whistle wasn’t mentioned! The whistle isn’t allowed in church, leave it for the football field!

For residents of Sabon garin Kuraye, a sleepy community at Charanchi local government area of Katsina state, Friday the 28th of September will remain indelible in their mind as it marked the day the community witnessed the birth of a child with three legs, Muazu Elazeh reports.

When labour met her that day, Maryamu Bala, as all expectant mothers do, expected to be delivered of a normal healthy baby.

After a few hours, the child was delivered in the wee hours of Friday. It came out like every other child except that, unlike other children, it had a third limb with complete features of human legs.

Thieves appear to be targeting the treasure boxes of wives of Nigeria’s retired generals with another case of a house help who stole the jewellery of the wife of General Olu Bajowa.

Last month in Kano, thieves stole the N20million jewellery of Mariam, wife of the late Nigerian dictator, General Sani Abacha.

The latest incident happened in Ibadan. The suspect, Kingsley Aimekhu , a house help of the former acting Military Governor, South East Region and River States and ex- Ondo State Gubernatorial candidate, General Olu Bajowa, stole the jewellery, worth N25m from the wife of the General.

Two of Nigeria’s notable religious leaders, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Abuja, John Onaiyekan, and the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammed Sa’ad Abubakar III, have both been nominated for the 2012 Nobel Peace Prize, representing Christianity and Islam respectively.

These nominations come at a time when the activities of the violent Islamic sect, Boko Haram, are threatening the peace of the country.

According to the reported issued on Thursday, the International Peace Research Institute noted that Onaiyekan and the Sultan may have made the list alongside the former US President Bill Clinton, Prof. Gene Sharp of the United States, a theorist on non-violent struggle, and the Echo of Moscow radio station, for their efforts at campaigning against the misuse of religion.

So it will be Yinka Davies, Jeffrey Daniels, and Linda judging contestants on Nigerian Idol, season 3.

Speaking to NET, Tiwa Savage’s representative said the Mavin Lady is focused on wrapping up her debut album.

“It was difficult to combine with an increasingly time-consuming schedule. Nigerian Idol is something she will like to do again in the near future but not before she releases her new album amongst other things.”

How Can I Make My Children Accept Me Back Into Their Lives?

Dear Readers,

After 18 years of marriage I fell in love with another woman. For two years I deceived both and lived a double life, until the two worlds inevitably collided.

The fallout has been swift, sharp and painful. My siblings, mother and closest friends, while shocked, have been amazing, but I have understandably lost everything.

I totally get losing the respect of, and communication with, my wife and the other woman, but having my three children (20, 14, 10) cut off from me as well is more than I can bear.

How can I make amends so that my children will accept me back into their lives?

HELP!! My Neighbour’s Loud Sex Won’t Let Me Sleep at Night

Please forgive me if you feel offended after reading this piece but I can’t hide it again. Problem shared is problem solved, so goes a popular saying.

I am a factory worker living in a one-room apartment (face me I face you) in Orile area of Lagos. I’m still waiting to get a better job so I could settle down and probably get married, but you know how ghetto life be na. That is by the way.

A man moved into our compound few months back and since then, I’ve been having series of ‘nightmares.’

During the recent hot weather, it has been impossible to sleep without ventilation, and on several occasions, my next-door neighbor shrieks throughout the night. Shouting in her native dialect; “yee egba mi oo, mogbe oo, o n dunmi oo, o n taa mi oo, fi mi le o (meaning, “save me oh, am dying oh) wouldn’t let me sleep. I am a light sleeper and feel irate about this noise pollution.

Barely two months after parting ways with May D, Square Records and Northside Entertainment is said to be closing in on a young Ghanaian Afro-Pop singer, Predy X, known in real life as Samuel Omane-Mensah.

Square Records, who parted ways with May D over “irreconcilable differences”, is keen on getting the highly-rated Ghanaian youngster into its fold.

According to sources close to CEO of Square Records and Northside Entertainment, Jude ‘Engees’ Okoye, the deal was expected to be concluded in the “coming days”.

Bayo Adetu, publicist for Square Records, which features the talented music duo P-Square, is reported to have told a Nigerian magazine, Entertainment Today that their pursuit of Predy X was due to his versatile music talent.

Residents of the area woke up early this morning to find a new born baby stone dead near a refuse dump right before the entrance of Gowon Estate at Ponle bus stop.

The new born was left there alive because two women later said they heard the cries of a baby in the early hours of this morning as they headed to the market but didn’t know where it was coming from.

The baby was left there naked to battle the cold for hours. He sadly died before anyone even realized he was there. I think abortion is better than this. There’s no reason for any woman to do this to a child..no reason! Photos when you continue…
