1. This didn’t happen during the weekend but for the fact that it is a long awaited news, and a good one at that, let’s just have it! Nollywood actors Adesua Etomi and Banky W finally shared with the world, the arrival of their bundle of joy and from the internet, the joy that flowed into the hearts of Nigerians knew no bounds. The couple have been married 3 years and many have been expecting baby bump and shoots. This couple, like many other Nigerian celebrities, however, the goodnews away from the eyes of the public, just as they did their relationship, and only gave us the gist a week after the arrival of baby Zaiah, on Adesua’s birthday. Nollywood actress Kemi Lala-Akindoju also shared with the world the news of her bundle of joy, thirding Gbemi O-O’s baby.
2. As the week was coming to an end with leaders seeking a lasting solution to the heightening insecurity in the nation, the news of Zamfara girls’ abduction, broke and Nigerians could not help but feel somewhat sad for how incessant kidnappings are becoming in the Northern part of Nigeria. In 2014, over 200 Chibok girls were kidnapped and a good number of them has still not returned. A week before the Zamfara girls, about 42 people were also abducted in Kagara, Niger State – students and teachers alike, and while Nigerians were praying and hoping for their return like the Kankara boys were returned. This abduction has seen a lot of condemnations from many organisations and has led to Zamfara and Kano. Governments closing down some schools in the State.
3. As the news of the most recent broke, President Buhari issued a strong warnings to bandits and their sponsors to stop the act as his Government will not condone such. The President also stated that State Governments must stop their policy of rewarding bandits with money and vehicles. This left many people asking the question, “Will the warnings bring the abductees back and restore peace to the nation?”.
4. Good and evil works together and Don Jazzy’s new Lekki mansion is another piece of goodnews. Everything about the new home screams class, luxury and wealth and all we can say is the Producer and Music executive is living his best life and is all about acquiring mega properties. Nollywood actress could not comprehend why celebrities critics would not attribute the new mansion to his sexuality as they do with the females. “If na woman flaunt the kind house wey don jazzy just acquire now, internet for don burst two seconds”, she said.5. Another goodnews came in, the abducted Kagara students and teachers were released, can somebody say Alhamdullilahi or shout Hallelujah as the case may be? Although the medium and process of release was not made known, but reports have it that the abductees were release in exchange for some arrested herders. The released victims were camped in hotel close to the Government house in Minna. While the President is happy that the abductees are released, the suspected bandits described the schoolchildren’s abduction as a business and claimed that the architect of the business was among those negotiating the schoolboys’ release.
