If CRK goes, IRK goes too from the curriculum - Reno Omokri

Tunde Bakare can't condemn the removal of CRK from our curriculum but can send coded messages to Professor Yemi Osinbajo about 'next in line' not being king! He accused Osinbajo of being a "showoff" in his "bid to register star performances and outdo their benefactors”. My response to Tunde Bakare is this: If Osinbajo's show off is leading to the appreciation of the Naira, the reduction in the price of diesel, the availability of petrol and the prompt payment of salaries, then not only Osinbajo, but every elected politician should show off. By the way, Muhammadu Buhari ran with you and lost, then he ran with Osinbajo and won. Maybe if you had "shown off" you would not have lost the election for Buhari!

Billionaire Nigerian Kidnapper, Evans's Said My wife was only lying that she did not spend part of my money

My wife was only lying that she did not spend part of my money. She only wants Nigerians to have sympathy for me. She did not know I was into kidnapping. I only told her that I am into drug, which she advised me to stop because it is dangerous, The only vehicles I have are Toyota Hilux, Nissan pickup – N7million, Luxus GS460 – N22million, Range Rover, 2016 model – N55million and Luxus GL47 – N9million, I did not enjoy all the money I made from kidnapping because I was always on the run. I am regretting my actions in life, If I am given a second chance, I would be the most grateful person on earth and I promise to be an advocate of anti-kidnapping in the country” - Nigerian Billionaire Kidnapper Evans
