Well, she didn't actually write that she's been single for a while, she only posted a card with the message written on it. But she must be really trying to send a message (to someone *cough*) because not only did she post it on her twitter page, she also posted it on her Facebook & instagram pages. She also re-posted something Rita Dominic posted on Instagram yesterday...find that after the cut...

According to a story by Encomium magazine, Bishop David Oyedepo, Alhaji Aliko Dangote and Dr. Mike Adenuga are among the top 10 Nigerian billionaires who will pay hundreds of millions of naira annually as luxury tax due to the imposition of a whooping $4,000 luxury tax by Aviation Ministry on private jet owners and operators per departure.

Some of these super rich Nigerians make use of their jets 3/4 times in a week either within or outside Nigeria and for every trip, it's a cool $4, 000 tax. Continue...



From Encomium magazine

According to our sources, among the four jets owned by Bishop Oyedepo (Gulfstream V and G550, Bombardier and Gulfstream G430), he uses three regularly personally and for his missionary work. Thus, his luxury tax annually will be an average of N399 million.  Alhaji Aliko Dangote who has three private jets in his hanger will also pay an average of N399 million per annum.  Dr. Mike Adenuga, Jnr, whose Falcon 7x and Bombardier jet are used for personal and business purpose should pay an average of N266 million.  Governor Rotimi Amaechi and his Akwa Ibom counterpart, Governor Godswill Akpabio would shell out an average of N166.4 million annually.  Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor falls into the same category of N166.4 million naira payer.  Meanwhile, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, Jide Omokorie and Ifeanyi Ubah would pay an average of N133 million annually, while Jimoh Ibrahim falls within the N100 million category.  Furthermore, the richest woman in Nigeria, Folorunsho Alakija would spend N66 million on luxury tax.
Findings by Encomium Weekly revealed that the top 10 private jet owners who would cough millions annually on the new luxury tax are below.
The clash of the titans between the Federal Government and private jet owners reached a crescendo with the imposition of the $4,000 luxury tax on private jet owners and operators per departure.  A memo was sent to all private jet operators stating that Nigerian registered private jets would henceforth pay $3,000 for every departure, while foreign registered private jets would pay $4,000.

SHOCKING: Missing Female Lawyer’s Body Found Mutilated In Her Chambers

A female lawyer, Mrs Ijeoma Micah’s lifeless body was found mutilated, yesterday, in her chambers in the highbrow Maitama area of Abuja.

The Police in Abuja have begun investigation into the suspected murder of the female lawyer, Ijeoma, the owner of Micah and Micah Chambers, who was found dead in her office three days after she was said to have gone missing.

Her worried husband, who hadn’t heard from her for three days, was learnt,arrived from London on Sunday morning, rushed to her office, only to discover her lifeless body.

He reported the matter to Area Command of the police in Maitama.

Commissioner of Police FCT, Femi Ogunbayode, who spoke on the incident said that from investigations, it was discovered that some men had called Ijeoma to her office for some business, which she went for and afterwards, nothing was heard from her.

Ogunbayode said that as a result of the killing, a security detail that was attached to Ifeoma was arrested and was being interrogated for alleged complicity.

He said that since the security detail did not report the case to the police until her husband came back from abroad and discovered her body, he was therefore a suspect.

He added that the Forensic Investigation Unit at the FCT Command was already at the office, where she was allegedly killed and had commenced investigation into the matter.

Sympathisers in the area said that the Ifeoma’s husband broke the door of her office and on seeing the lifeless body of his wife, almost killed himself while crying.

It was also gathered that Ijeoma’s car had been missing from the usual parking spot in front of her office building.

A middle aged woman, simply named Rose on Tuesday evening, set her house ablaze when she discovered that her husband, Olayiwola was allegedly sleeping with one of their neighbours inside their one-room apartment.

The couple, who lived together in the apartment at Aderin area of Osogbo with other tenants and the owner of the house were living peacefully until recently when Rose discovered that her husband was involved in illicit affair with one of their neighbours.

It was gathered that Rose, whose shop was close to the house noticed that her husband was in the room with a woman, who was also her friend and set the house on fire to punish the husband and his lover.

However, sources stated that Olayiwola and his lover narrowly escaped from the house and their whereabouts remained unknown as at press time.

I was revealed that Rose had warned her husband to desist from his amorous relationship with her friend but he denied having any relationship with her.

Unknown to the man, his wife had been monitoring him and her friend until she caught them in the illicit act.

Properties belonging the couple and their co-tenants including their landlord were lost to the fire

It was gathered that the female owner of the house, who is an octogenarian had appealed to the police and other security agencies to allow the law to take its full course.

66Yrs Man’s Private Part FALLS OFF After He Overdoses On Viagra To Impress Girlfriend

A 66-year-old man from southern Colombia had to have his joystick amputated after he overdosed on Viagra to impress his girlfriend.

The man, whose name has not been released, intentionally overdosed on the erectile dysfunction medicine.
As a result, he suffered an erection for several days before being forced to seek medical advice.

According to news website Colombia Reports, the joystick-enhancing drug caused the man, who is said to be a farmer and a former politician, to develop signs of gangrene.
When he sought medical help, doctors informed the patient his only option was amputation so the inflammation and gangrene would stop spreading to other parts of his body.
According to his doctor, the old man showed bruising on the testicles and joystick, he was treated and is recovering well.

In yet another incident, earlier this week, a Yemeni man died of a Viagra overdose as he prepared to sleep with his bride on their first day as a married couple.

The 25-year-old Yemeni man dosed up on five Viagra pills at one time which killed him, according to Yemini Arabic Language daily newspapwer Okaz Al Youm.

Once the wedding hall was cleared out, the unnamed man left to join his wife at their new home.
When he arrived, he fainted and collapsed and died after being taken to hospital despite doctors’ attempts to revive him.

Man Describes How He Caught His Best Friend In Bed With His Wife

He couldn’t believe his beautiful wife would do such to him: Moses and May were the quintessential lovebirds. Among their close circle of friends, they were nicknamed the M and M couple.

They met for the first time in the school library. The meeting was an accidental one because May bumped into Moses as she rushed out to meet up with a lecture. As he bent to gather his books and scripts that lay scattered all over the library floor, Moses mumbled under his breath, “If I did this to you, I would never hear the end of it.”

“I am truly sorry,” May apologised as she bent down to help him. “I have a 12 0’clock class with Professor Ben.” At the mention of Professor Ben, Moses understood the purpose of the rush.

According to Anna Okon…
Professor Ben was the dreaded statistics lecturer at the Metropolitan Polytechnic. Students called him, ‘the one minute professor’ because he only allowed one minute grace after entering the class for any late coming or distraction.

“You have just 10 minutes before Professor one-minute enters his class. Leave these papers and run along. I don’t want to be responsible for your failure,” Moses told May. His last statement was annoying and she would have given him a piece of her mind but she rushed past him, telling herself that she would remind him later, that nobody can make May fail in anything.

The two did not meet again until during convocation. Coincidentally, they were both top flight students and both received prizes for excelling in their various fields. While May emerged the best student in her department, Moses sailed to the top as the best overall student in the school.

On their way back from the podium with their certificates and laurels, May heard somebody whisper, “I see you made it to the statistics class after all; thanks to me.” She turned and realised it was Moses. She sneered back, “Listen, you arrogant man. Just because you attempted to act like a gentleman and prevented me from picking up your books does not make you anything other than what you are….” she began but he did not allow her to finish.

“What am I?” he asked, goading her, clearly enjoying her agitation and the look on her face.

“You are arrogant and you don’t know anything,” she finished.

Moses replied: “I would have believed your judgement, but unfortunately, that is not what my certificate says. You know, you look cute when you are angry. I would love to see you angry more often.”

They met again a few years later. May worked as a front desk officer in a commercial bank and Moses was a management trainee at an oil company. He had gone to May’s bank for a transaction and met her.

“Hi May, you are here!” Moses exclaimed on seeing her. “Moses,” she called his name and he did not miss the excitément in her voice. “You sound as if you are happy to see me,’’ he observed. “Well, that is because I have been wondering where my arrogant school mate disappeared to. Maybe I missed your cockiness,” May told him.

“I am sorry, May. Look, allow me to make up for all the annoying things I did to you. How about lunch? Please,” he pleaded and she agreed.

Their relationship progressed after that meeting into a steady love affair and after two years of courtship, they got married.

Moses could never have suspected his beautiful wife had a secret until five years into their blissful union.

It started with a visit from May’s long time friend and roommate in school, Precious. She had travelled to the United States of America after graduation to be with her parents, who were based there. The two constantly kept in touch on phone and through social media. Moses had no problem with his wife spending a lot of time chatting and making a long distance call. May had a lot of fond things to say about Precious. “I can’t wait to see your friend that you always talk about,” Moses always told her.

Precious finally arrived. When they went to pick her from the airport, Moses noticed how May dotted on Precious. From then on, the lady took up all the space in his wife’s life. Although she was lodged in a hotel on the Island, Precious was always around. Moses left May alone. He understood that she needed to catch up on the friendship.

When it was time for him to travel on an official mission to Europe, he was happy to leave May behind because he knew she would have Precious to keep her company. His flight was for 10pm, so he spent the whole afternoon with his wife and then, Precious came in shortly before 7pm to escort her friend and the husband to the airport.

Moses’ flight got cancelled 20 minutes to take-off time because of a security warning at the airport. The flight was rescheduled for the following day. It was all good, he thought as he took a cab back to his house to spend another night with his wife. The entrance door was locked when he got there. Not willing to disturb her sleep, he used his key. On entering the house, moans stopped him in his tracks. They were coming from his bédroom.

May, his wife with another man? He didn’t believe it but yanked the door open. May and Precious sprang up from the béd. They were náked!
