“May we be surrounded by people with human sympathy in our helpless moment” – Alex Ekubo
* Shades colleagues as he mourns Junior Pope and others
By Francesca Hangeior
Nollywood actor, Alex Ekubo has written a heartfelt note to mourn his colleague, Junior Pope, and others who lost their lives in the Anam River boat mishap.
In a lengthy post on his Instagram page, he prayed that we be surrounded by people with wisdom and human sympathy in our helpless moments and not those who are more interested in creating content out of one’s situation.
The light-skinned actor further went on to question what the meaning of life is as he noted how one minute one is alive, another minute the person can be dead.
He revealed that the tragedy of the boat accident has left him in shock as he noted how the day of Junior Pope’s death coincidence with his birthday.
According to him, he hasn’t been able to attend any event or function properly since then as he can only imagine the unbearable pain and utter confusion of the families of the victims.
“What is the meaning of life?
One minute we are here, the next minute we are not.
The tragedy of the boat accident that happened days ago, still has me shocked to my bones.
While I was celebrating my birthday, others were fighting for their lives.
I haven’t been able to attend any event or function properly since then, as I can only imagine the unbearable pain & utter confusion the families of all those whose lives were lost are in.
It’s incomprehensible the amount of senseless & avoidable deaths we are faced with each day in this country.
More shocking & heartbreaking is the merry-go-round during a critical emergency, the sheer display of ignorance, nonchalance & high-level illiteracy.
May we be surrounded by people with wisdom, & human sympathy in our helpless moment, & not those more interested in creating content out of our situation.
Dear God, please accept the souls of Jnr Pope, Abigail Frederick, Precious Oforum, Joseph Anointing & any other, forgive them their sins & grant them eternal passage to heaven.
Please oh Lord, give their families divine strength to bear this irreplaceable loss.
If they’ve ever needed you, they need you now.
To those who survived this mishap, or are affected by it directly or indirectly & are dealing with the trauma, please God comfort them on every side.
To us all, let this be a reminder that life is fickle & but a fleeting mirage.
May we tread carefully & go through life knowing that none of us knows which day will be our last.
Yesterday it was #MohBad today is #JnrPope&Co tomorrow it can be anyone.
Death is final, Life is fragile.
What is the meaning of life?
One minute we are here, the next minute we are not”.

Call for Wike’s sack: Administration is no child’s play, CRP tells Adeyanju, VDM
…insists Wike is not a law breaker, rather he adheres to the rule of law
A grassroot based movement, Concerned Rivers People, CRP has reacted over call for the removal of hardworking FCT minister , Nyesom Wike declaring that Deji Adeyanju and Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as Very Dark Man should know that administration is not a child’s Play.
The group made this disclosure in a statement signed by its Director of Communication, Robinson Uke on Saturday declaring that:
“Our attention has been drawn to a very misleading viral video clip where VDM and Adeyanju called for the removal of our son and leader, Barrister Nyesom Wike from office.
“Ordinarily we ought to have ignored this misleading development but for the sake of history we will like to put the records straight.
” Administration is not comedy or the act of writing unfounded stories in the name of activism because before any action is taken due diligence must have been adequately carried out by government.
Uke further explained that: ” Before the demolition exercise enough time was given to the residents to vacate the said area but they never yielded.
“Did Adeyanju and VDM bother to interrogate deeply into the matter whether the area in any way obstructed the master plan of the Federal Capital Territory?
“Why’s Abuja called a territory administered by a minister, it’s because it’s the seat of power and the mirror of Nigeria.
“Wike has not broken any known law in Nigeria if by any way the area is part of the master plan and illegal occupants are found in the area.
“Did these two gentlemen probe beyond the publicity the video generated giving a wrong impression that the area will be allocated to estate developers.
“Government is all about authoritative allocation of scarce resources, today Wike is the custodian of FCT and by extension the number one citizen of the Territory.
“He believes in due process and will never go against established norms while carrying out his administrative duties because he strictly adheres to the law.
“From all indications the clip was primarily designed to cause disaffection between the president and the FCT minister but this move is dead on arrival.
“We candidly advise these young men to adopt another approach in carrying out their activism not this garbage in and garbage out approach.
“It smirks of an ulterior motive that was property cooked and dished to be consumed by those who don’t understand how administration is carried out.

May Edochie’s fans respond to actress Uche Ogbodo after she criticized them
By Francesca Hangeior
Nigerian actress Uche Ogbodo has sparked a reaction from the fans of socialite May Edochie, known as May Nation.
This began when Uche’s store in Lagos was robbed, and she claimed that May’s fans were mocking her situation.
She labeled them as toxic and pointed out that Yul Edochie’s ex-wife did not intervene to stop the negativity, leading her to block May.
Following Uche’s outburst online, May Edochie’s fans released a public statement from one of their official pages.
The group criticized the Nollywood actress for labeling them as lunatics and toxic. They believe she should have addressed the specific people who made negative comments on her page instead of assuming that all May Nation members are the same.
They questioned whether Davido and Wizkid are also pressured to respond to negative comments from their fans. They pointed out that May Edochie cannot control what her fans say, and it would be unreasonable to expect her to respond every time someone says something negative.

Angry Rudeboy Alleges Twin Brother Mr. P Of Song Theft, Vows To Release Original Version
Angry Nigerian singer Paul Okoye, popularly known as Rudeboy has accused his twin brother Peter Okoye (Mr. P) of stealing his intellectual property.
Rudeboy alleged in an Instagram post on Thursday that Mr P’s recently released single, ‘Winning,’ was supposed to be included in his next album.
Mr P recently released the single ‘Winning’ a few months after the brothers confirmed that Psquare, their shared music group, no longer existed.
Rudeboy also alleged that the music producer hijacked the track.
“Written and sang by Rudeboy. Produced by same producer. Now how come? Now am I supposed to release another version? Mr Producer, your case is for another day.
“Just a simple thing, bring 6 songs, let me bring 6 songs. I submitted 6 songs to the so-called management. Why are you singing my own song? Word for word. Song that was supposed to be in my album next year June.”
Rudeboy also threatened to release “original versions of any copied songs”, adding that “the days of manipulation are over”.
“The days of manipulation are over. And to the management, make I hear any song wey na only me sing, I go release the original version. Oloriburuku! Music is not that hard,” he wrote.
Recall that Psquare split in 2017 following a feud between Rudeboy and Mr. P.
The brothers reunited in November 2021, but their reconciliation was short-lived as Paul recently revealed another fallout, accusing Peter of orchestrating his arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
