Kebbi State First lady, Dr. Zainab Shinkafi Bagudu has narrated how three elephants were saved from hunters in Koko besse Local Government Area of the State on Tuesday. 

 

The local government authorities assisted by security forces in the area successfully mobilized the community, secured the animals and kept them away from the usual threats from hunters.

 

Taking to her social media account, Dr. Zainab said elephants would have been killed had the villagers not been previously warned by Governor Atiku Bagudu. 

 

She recalled how an elephant was caught, killed and butchered by the villagers and hunters last year. They later trooped to the Kebbi State Government House with great pride to present Governor Abubakar Atiku Bagudu with the slaughtered elephant’s Tusks.

Instead of the praise they expected, they received a lifetimes worth of telling off and an educational lecture with threats of imprisonment. Read her post below: 

 

Saving The Elephants Of Kebbi ?

 

?Every year, herds of Elephants migrate around the forests straddling the Kainji, Republics of Benin and Niger. Three were spotted today in Koko Besse LGA, Kebbi. ?

 

?Elephants unfortunate enough to be caught are immediately killed as game. ?Trade in poached Elephant tusks forms most of the illegal Ivory trade and has led to the endangerment of the species. Although Custom authorities in the axis often intercept such poachers, control is poor. 

?One such elephant caught last year had its killing and chopping videotaped and widely distributed. My 6 year old nephew Amir, an intense and true animal lover, cried unconsolably when he saw that carnage. The host community and hunters trooped to the Kebbi State Government House with great pride to present Governor Abubakar Atiku Bagudu with the slaughtered elephant’s Tusks. To them, they had successfully defended their territory from a single invading elephant. 

 

Oh boy, did they get a shock! Instead of the accolades the expected, they received a lifetimes worth of telling off and an educational lecture- interspersed with threats of imprisonment. Most do not realize the criminality or concept of endangered species. Slowly, Gov Bagudu has been educating his people about this. ?

 

?It is working. I screamed with delight when he sent me this clip today. Not only were the 3 alive, the Koko LG authorities assisted by security forces in the area successfully mobilized the community, secured the animals and kept them away from the usual threats from hunters etc. I am not sure who is happier today that these elephants are alive- my dear husband? or my dear nephew Amir. ?

 

?The lesson I wish to draw here is simple. Being a leader is like being a mother. 

She loves you. When you err, she shouts, she dangles the slipper, but she is a mother so calms down. She is a patient mother so she forgives you. She is a loving mother and your first teacher so she gives you an educational lecture. You learn. You want to please your mother. You behave better. And so the cycle continues...Thus, If we want better leadership then we have to learn to behave better. 

 

May God bless all our leaders for the work of “mothering” that they go through with us daily. ?

 

?Today, Atiku Bagudu isn’t just a leader; he is also a “mother” to the human beings of Kebbi State, as well as to our elephants.

Akindele, who also claims to be a prophet , was said to have , thereafter , used a pestle - like wood to smash Iya Anu’ s head .

The prophet was said to have later cut off her head and hands , while he also allegedly removed her intestines which he allegedly took to a pastor, one Ayodele Bamiduro , the founder of Lion of Judah Church of Christ on Robiyan Street, Abule Ijoko in Ogun State.

Bamiduro has been arrested by the Police .

The two suspects were later driven to Bamiduro ’ s church , where the victim ’ s head, hands and the intestines were buried in a far corner of the compound .

Akindele reportedly dumped Iya Anu’ s decapitated body in an uncompleted building next to the bungalow where he lived.

The decomposing body has since been recovered by the Police and the men of Vigilante Group of Nigeria in the area .

The state Commissioner of Police , Ahmed Iliyasu , described the act as a conspiracy, murder and ritual .

He said it was on August 10 , 2018 that the Baale of Igbore Robiyan reported the discovery of a decomposing headless body in an uncompleted building within the community to Agbado Divisional Police headquarters .

He said Akindele confessed that the deceased was his lover and that they had dated for two years before he killed her .

Akindele however told journalists that he did not know why he killed his lover .

Bamiduro , on his own part, said though he knew Akindele, he did not contract him to kill anyone . Akindele corroborated the claim .

Iliyasu said the suspects will be arraigned in court after due investigation .

Donald Trump Lasted Two Minutes In Bed - Stormy Daniels - Foreign Affairs - N

POSTS

Porn star Stormy Daniels, who has been having a running battle with the United States President Donald Trump, has said that the president is not much of a good lover and that he lasted only two minutes in bed.

The controversial sex worker also claims that President Trump is a “good conversationalist,” and that in the course of their sexual trysts, he asked “good questions about the porn industry,” including if adult film stars get royalties and residuals or had a union.

In an interview with the Vogue magazine published on Tuesday, she explained part of the extra-marital encounter she had with Trump to New York Times reporter, Amy Chozick.

When asked:

“How many details can you really give about two minutes?” Daniels said, “Maybe. I’m being generous.”

She, however, remained consistent with her past claims that the sex was consensual and that she never felt forced into it.
She also said that Trump wasn’t a bad conversationalist and that he asked good questions about the porn industry, including if adult film stars get royalties and residuals or had a union.

Did Trump do something that made her feel like she had to have sex with him? Daniels is emphatic. “No, nothing,” she says. “Not once did I ever feel like I was in any sort of physical danger. I’m sure if I would’ve taken off running, he wouldn’t have given chase. And even if I had, there’s no way he could’ve caught me. He’s even less likely to catch me now.” Daniels said

Simi Met Her First Love At The Age 13 - Celebrities -

POSTS

Sweet-singing songstress, Simi has made another interesting revelation about her love life. The singer revealed how she met her first love at the tender age of 13, further stating that “it did happen”; alluding to losing her virginity to her first love.

The singer told The Sun News, “my first love? I met him when I was 13 and in SS1. I was just about to turn 14 and he just came to my school.”

How do you really explain that as a child? But it did happen, and he left my school after a while, so we drifted apart. Then we met somewhere again. We drifted apart again and then that was it.”

Simi went on to admit that she is currently in a romantic relationship with someone she hopes to eventually build a family with. She believes that should naturally be the outcome when one is emotionally invested in a love affair.

“Well, I hope he is the one because I don’t think relationships should just be for leisure. I can’t really speak for anybody but for me.” “If I am giving you an access to that part of my life then it has to be worth my while and worth his while as well. But I can’t force it though, if he is the one, fine and if not, fine“, she said.

Nollywood actress Uduak Akrah is one of the top movie star doing fantastically well. In this latest interview with Adaeze Amos, the UNILAG graduate who also works as an event planner said boldly she nurses no fear on what marriage holds for her. She also touched on other issues including the problem of high divorce rate currently facing the Nigerian movie industry. Interview excerpts below: 


What motivated you into acting? 

Watching movies, seeing other actors and actresses doing different things excited me. I was always looking forward to it. I wanted to be like one of those people someday. From secondary school, I noticed that I liked acting and everything that had to do with it. 

Were you acting in secondary school? 

Not really, because I was a bit shy. But I was singing when I was in school. Till date I love to sing. I’m in my church choir. 

Are you thinking of releasing an album as most of your colleagues are doing? 

Not really! That’s not in my mind right now. 

Haven’t some roles you’ve interpreted run contrary to your faith? 

Acting is all about make-believe and it is my job. If I’m given a role, it’s my duty to bring it out perfectly and convince the audience. It’s just the way a banker or a lawyer is doing his job that I’m also doing mine. It doesn’t have anything to do with the real me or my faith. 

Can you take up roles that would do with nudity? 

Never! Because I think if I want to pass any message across, I can do that without necessarily going nude. When you expose your body, what message are you passing across? Even if the person is a prostitute, does it mean you have to see the person Unclad before you can pass the message that the fellow is a prostitute? I don’t need to go nude to pass the message. Our society doesn’t permit that. So, it’s not fashionable to act nude. You only make fool of yourself if you do that. 

Some have said if the pay is good, why not? 

I won’t do that o! I’m an actress with a difference. I have reservations and for the fact that I’m acting doesn’t mean I should go crazy. For me, I cannot. Well, people have guts. They can do some things. ‘My own guts never ‘reach that level o!’ I’m not that kind of a person and, again, my faith wouldn’t permit me to do it. In fact, I won’t even think of it because my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. So, why would I expose it to the world? My body is meant for my husband. 


How about romance roles? 

Well, to an extent. I can’t go all the way. As I said I have reservations.

Don’t you think that is why you don’t get so many roles?
Yeah, you are right because I’m not crazy about stardom. I just love what I’m doing. I even prefer to act on stage. I love being on stage a lot because that was how I started. Stage acting is even more difficult. That is when you know the real professional. 

What makes your day? 

Listening to music, worshipping God make me happy. When you want to unwind, what do you do? I go out, watch movies, hang out with friends and catch a drink somewhere. 

Do you take alcohol? 

No, but I could take red wine. It shouldn’t be too alcoholic because I don’t like anything that makes me tipsy. I just stick to what I can stand. 

What about smoking? 

No, I don’t. I tried it once in one role I took up but it wasn’t working so, they yanked it off. That was some years back. The director didn’t insist; if he had, I would have done it better. I don’t think it was necessary for that particular role, if it was, I would have tried to bring it out well. 

What is that habit you have been praying in your closet to change?

I don’t have any habit at all. 

You mean you don’t just have one? 

Well, since you insist, the only habit I used to have was shouting whenever I was upset. I would shout loud because I believed that was the only way I could express myself. Even when people reminded me to calm down, I would say no, leave me alone so as to show the person how upset I was. A lot of my friends were complaining because of the way I used to shout whenever I was upset. But after a while, I had to start working on it. I think now, I’m getting better. What was childhood like?

Were you born with a silver spoon? 
I was born into a normal average home but I had the best in terms of schools and toys. I attended a federal school in Gboko and you know federal schools were really the best then. I lost my mum while I was in secondary school. That motivated me to give my life to Christ. Having a relationship with God made it easier for me to get over that shocking experience. It made me a better person too. 


What was your dad’s reaction when you started acting?

He didn’t have a problem with it at all. My dad is the kind of man that allows you to do whatever you want. Anything that makes you happy, he encourages you to go ahead as long as it doesn’t tarnish the image of the family. My father is in support of my acting career. 

Cleavage-flaunting tops are in vogue, do you wear them? 

No. I may wear them unintentionally. There are some things you buy and by the time you put it on, you discover some parts of your cleavages are showing. For me, I try my best to adjust such wears because I don’t want to flaunt much. I could flaunt cleavages but I don’t overdo it. 

Are you single?

Yes, I am. 

How do you feel about the high divorce rate in Nollywood?
It’s touching, really. I think what is causing it is because a lot of them don’t know what marriage is all about. They think marriage is all about name and status. Some feel ‘oh let’s be among the married women and feel like them or feel like married men’. That is why after a while, it parks up. That’s not God’s plan for marriage. If an individual would understand what marriage is, he/ she would do everything for the marriage to work. You would not rush into it because if you do, you would rush out of it. You need to know what you want and let your man know what you want. The foundation and reason for getting married should be right. A lot of people go into marriage because of beauty. 

When you are set to marry, what kind of man would you go for?

I would marry a man with a vision. He may not be rich but he should have potentials. Even if the person is rich, I need to know what he does for a living. 

Are you scared of getting married because it could crash? 

I see my marriage as a success already, so I don’t need to nurse any fear. Whatever it is, I know God would give me the best and I’m going to work it out. You could have the best and use your own hand to spoil it: with your attitude. I will pray to get the best man. I have started working on myself to be a good wife. I have started working on my temper. I no longer rave when I’m angry, I now try to be quiet. 

What if you end up marrying a man that will punch you, a bully? 

No, I would run for my life. That is why courtship is good. If I notice it while courting him, I won’t marry him. I would come out of it. I had a friend at a time; he was asking me out, and I went to see him once and I came late. Something happened. He was really upset. He shouted at me that I kept him waiting. And because I didn’t like anybody shouting at me, I turned my back and I was about walking out, he pulled me back and said what rubbish, why should I walk out on him. That was a good sign to call it off and I did. But the guy I’m dating now is always patient to wait. I left the other one because that was a good sign that in future such a guy can beat me, so I ran. Some ladies would remain in such a relationship hoping to change him. No adult can change (Like) (Share)
