Not actual photo

An unidentified Hausa Youth jumped over the Obalende Bridge, Lagos, on Thursday at about 6:30pm and died instantly, on sighting operatives of the Lagos State Taskforce on Environmental Sanitation and Special Offences, thinking that they were after him.

Pm News reports that, Taskforce Officials stormed Obalende to enforce the law on Environmental Sanitation when the incident occurred.

A trader who identified himself simply as John said the deceased from Adamawa State, North East Nigeria, was watching the Taskforce Officials from atop the bridge as they were dislodging street traders and illegal motorcycle operators under the bridge beside the Oando Filling Station when he suddenly sighted another Taskforce Officials’ patrol van in the opposite direction.

The trader said, thinking that the Taskforce Officials would arrest him, the deceased in a bid to escape jumped over the bridge and landed on top of the iron beautification barriers under the bridge.

He sustained serious injuries on his head and other parts of his body and died instantly.

The trader stated that immediately the incident occurred a mob attacked the Taskforce officials, vandalized their vehicle and pursued them towards the 3rd Mainland Bridge.

The witness said the Taskforce Officials were able to escape the irate mobs by shooting in the air to scare them away.

Buhari is not shy around women - Femi Adesina

Earlier today, there were reports that a source in the presidency identified as Gideon Samani said that Pres. Buhari is usually shy around women. Well, the presidency has time to respond to it. Presidential spokesperson Femi Adesina released a statement saying it's not true. Read statement below...

The claim that President Muhammadu Buhari is shy around women, purportedly made by one Gideon Samani yesterday and published by a national newspaper today is totally fallacious. The subsequent attribution of the supposedly "low number" of female ministerial nominees to President Buhari's alleged shyness around women is therefore baseless and a figment of the imagination of the said Mr. Samani, who was falsely described as the "Senior Special Assistant (Political Matters) to the President.
The assertion by the alleged Presidential Aide that President Buhari is "very shy dealing with the opposite sex" because "he has been interacting mostly with men," was received by the President with shock and consternation. For one thing, there is no Senior Special Assistant, Political Matters, in the office of the President for now and Mr. Samani who was said to have spoken as the Representative of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation at a public function yesterday, is not an aide of the President.

Mr Samani is certainly not an official spokesman of the President. Therefore, he could not have spoken on behalf of President Buhari, who is the President of all Nigerians, men and women alike. President Buhari has a wife, many daughters and female relatives whom he loves dearly. He also had a mother that he adored. How then could he be shy in the company of women, to the point of allegedly not appointing them into public offices, on account of not being comfortable in their company? Nigerian women can be assured that the President holds them in the highest esteem and will always give them due consideration in the discharge of his official responsibilities. The statements attributed to Mr Samani are untrue and unauthorized. They should therefore be disregarded.

What Happens When A Lady Marries A Man Old Enough To Be Her Grandfather

When people see two of you, they will just think that you are taking your grandfather to the hospital. Lol!

34-year old Michaela and her husband, 74-year old Keith, are not happy that they are often mistaken for father and her daughter because of the staggering age difference between them. The pair met five years ago when Michaela was 29 and she says she is madly in love. 

Her words: "I had always been interested in older men and Keith was just my type. We're just the same as any other couple, but admittedly Keith does get mistaken for my dad when we're out."

Keith is equally as besotted; "When we met I was 68, which was the same age as Michaela's dad, but I didn't find it strange, I didn't care about age, I was attracted to her and that was all that mattered."

Well, her family supported their union, despite her husband being the age mate of her father. She said; "When I introduced Keith to my family, I knew they'd be supportive as I'd dated older men in the past. I wasn't surprised that my dad, was really happy that I'd found such a gentleman."

The only problem they however find embarrassing is people referring to Keith and Michaela's father.

So do we put this one down to pregnancy hormones??

 Tragedy struck yesterday in Aguleri, Anambra East Local Government Area of Anambra State, when a pregnant woman crushed her husband’s testicles, which led to his sudden death.

A source close to the family where Governor Obiano of the state hails from, told City Today that the middle aged couple (name withheld) had a quarrel before they went to bed.

The woman, who was said to be carrying five months old pregnancy, had accused the husband of having an affair with another lady outside.

It was gathered that trouble started when they went to bed; the woman was said to have gone to the man’s room, held his testicles and crushed it with an object which led to his sudden death.

But tragedies did not stop there, as the victim’s friend (name withheld), a commercial motorcycle rider, who led others to deposit his corpse in a mortuary in Onitsha, was said to have gone to work the following day and was killed by a hit a run vehicle.

The Onitsha Area Commander, Mr. Philip Ezekiel, an Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), confirmed the unfortunate incident but did not give details. He said that the Otuocha Divisional Police Officer (DPO) was investigating the matter.
