Forbes Nigerian Billionaire Donates $14.2 Million To Northern University
General TY Danjuma (rtd), former chief
of army staff (1975-1979) and former minister of defence (1999-2003),
has beaten even his own record of philanthropy at Ahmadu Bello
University’s fundraising ceremony yesterday: he donated N2.2 billion to
be deployed to different areas of development within the university.
Specifically, the donations are to be used in the Faculty of
Science for the building of an administrative block, a library, an
auditorium and a lecture hall as well as for landscaping.
Danjuma, who received the honorary Doctor of Science degree for his contribution to the development of the nation, said that northern Nigeria is on fire and all northerners must come together to save the region.
Gen. Danjuma said, “I give credit to Sir Ahmadu Bello and all those whose foresight and sacrifices gave birth to this institution, whose contributions to the growth of Nigeria cannot be quantified.”

Nigerian Gay Church Resume Operations In Lagos
Less than five years after
Nigeria-only gay church, House of Rainbow, was attacked by some Lagos
residents and consequently closed down in Nigeria, the church has
returned to the country with three secret groups in the African most
populous nation.
With
this development, Nigeria appears to lead other countries where the
church currently operates.

Delta State-born songstress, Kefee
Obareki, has her eyes on Nollywood. Anytime soon, she will begin
starring in movies.
This much she revealed in a chat with Saturday Beats during
the week in Lagos.
The Kokoroko crooner says, “There is nothing wrong with going into acting. Mr. Ibu (John Okafor) actually dragged me into Nollywood. He bought a form for me and dragged me into it. So yes, you will soon be seeing me in movies.”
Does it then mean she is quitting music?
No way, she replies strongly.
Hear her: “I cannot quit music for anything. I may be the only one singing or acting but I do not work alone. I have people who work with me and try to get the best out of me. I have ideas and I bring them out and my people advise me on them. You cannot do everything alone.”
Songs in the diva’s latest album, Chorus leader, are currently topping the charts.
There is something that she has to say to women in abusive relationships: Get out fast while you still have a chance.

My Husband Shot My Butt With A gun, But I Still Love Him - Wife
The story is that of a strange love,
such that is uncommon. For anyone that heard of a man shooting his wife
in the course of a quarrel, the reaction would be that such an act
should be punished.
But it sounds strange to
hear that the woman would still profess love for such a person or even
plead for him at the police station, despite sustaining injuries from
the shot fired by the husband for whom she was carrying a second child.
That was the drama that played out between a couple recently at Apete community, Ibadan. The husband, Wasiu Waheed (35), reportedly had a quarrel with his wife and when he saw that he could not silence his wife’s caustic tongue, he decided to use a weapon that would have silenced the woman forever, save for providence.

Queen Elizabeth Hospitalised!
Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II, suffering
from gastroenteritis, was admitted to hospital on Sunday, a Buckingham
Palace spokesman told AFP.
All the
86-year-old’s engagements for this week, including a visit to Rome, have
been called off, the spokesman added.
“The Queen is being assessed at King Edward VII’s Hospital in London after experiencing symptoms of gastroenteritis. As a precaution, all official engagements this week will be either postponed or cancelled,” he said.
Britain’s head of state is known for her robust health and devotion to duty, and rarely misses engagements.
The sovereign first felt unwell on Friday and cancelled a visit Saturday to a military celebration in the city of Swansea to mark St. David’s Day, the national day of Wales.
Instead of that engagement, she had been spending the weekend resting at Windsor Castle, west of London.
