Romance: I am not the father of your baby

KJ: I will not marry you 
Bidi: You will marry me
KJ: Why should I marry you? 
Bidi: Because I am carrying your baby.
KJ: whose baby? 
Bidi: Your of course 
KJ: You lie.  

KJ had been dating Bidi for a while and they had been having issues with trust. KJ had accused Bidi of not being faithful. He had caught her in a compromising position with one of his friends in a Guest House. 
Bidi has also been accusing KJ not being faithful because she says he cannot satisfy her even after a long break from s*x. 
Each time they exchange words over faithfulness it ends in a fight. 
recently, Bidi informed KJ of her pregnancy  insisting he is responsible but KJ would not accept responsibility. 
It was very difficult for neigbours to prevent a fight and KJ eventually inflicted Bidi with a head injury. 
Consequently, Bidi went to the police insisting KJ is the father of her unborn child.  

They met in a school where they had gone for a course and fell in love. KJ had proposed to Bidi two years after they met and they had agreed on a wedding date before KJ lost his job. This made it difficult for the wedding to hold as KJ could not afford the wedding bills so they opted to do it at a later date. The later date came and nothing happened because KJ could not secure another job.  

KJ had been going through a lot trying to pay his bills and Bidi had her job and resources intact but she had refused to give KJ any assistance instead she comes to spend time with him from to time without any form of commitment or care instead she makes him satisfy her sexual demands and goes away with the excuse that she is waiting for him to secure another job and marry her. 

KJ is afraid of marrying a woman who would not help in sharing in the responsibilities of the family. He had tried to explain to her that he needs a friend and not just a wife, that he needs a woman who can see him as her own and treat him with love just like he would treat her but she sees it differently. She feels it is the man's responsibility to provide for the family in all circumstances and this has made KJ to start reconsidering his decision to marry her. 
In his heart, KJ sees Bidi as a fair-wheather-friend who cannot be trusted in worse life situations. Again he suspects she was only attracted to him because of his money and previous status as a high flyer and not his love and life or wellbeing. 

At the moment they are both at each others throat over the pegnancy and KJ seems unperturbed by Bidi's threats.

The Headies drama: Olamide blasts Don Jazzy

Remember Notorious BIG and Tupac Shakur? Not a very pleasant memory but same situation seems to be brewing with arguably two biggest record labels in Nigeria, Don Jazzy’s MAVINS and Olamide’s YBNL.

This came after MAVIN’s Reekado Banks won the award for the Next Rated Artiste Category.

This obviously didn’t go well with Olamide and he made his feelings known when he climbed the stage with the whole YBNL team, when his artist Adekunle Gold won the award for Best Alternative act for his song, Shade.

While expressing his appreciation, Lil Kesh prostrated before Olamide who then took the mic and said; “Lil Kesh is our own Next Rated artist. F**k that sh*t! The streets ti take over. Every f**king single was a hit back to back. From lyrically, to Shoki to Efejoku. Ko ni dafun Iya anybody”, he then threw the mic down and they all walked off the stage.

After Olamide’s speech, Don Jazzy won The lifetime Achievement Award & while taking his award, he addressed Olamide’s rant on stage. He said “Egbon Olamide, if you want the car, come and take it.” (Next Rated win comes with a car).

Afterward, Olamide went nuts and came for Don Jazzy on Twitter. In a number of twitter rants, Olamide declared war on Don Jazzy and ripped him to pieces not only on his person but also on the way he treats artistes signed under him. In one of this tweets, he left a warning that brings to mind a deja vu of what pretty much started the bloody feud between late Tupac Shakur and Notorious BIG, by telling Don Jazzy not to come to the mainland.

“…. Don’t f*cking come to the mainland. Honestly, f**k you, I am f**king mainland”

He continues: “ I did not mention father’s name on the stage. Don’t f**king mention my name fuck boy. Don’t try all this shit with me”

He blasted him further on how he treated D’banj:

“You crave attention so bad, cool with everyone on your team but na you be Don f**k everything up, ruin every relationship”, obviously referring to how Don Jazzy and Dbanj parted ways.

“U dey chance your boys, Dem dey call you baba, my niggas call me my brother”

“After you don ruin D’banj with packaging, na de same u come dey form humble on social media. I called to strike a deal with Di’ja”

'Africa's biggest Jesus statue' unveiled in Nigeria

A nine-metre tall statue of Jesus Christ carved from white marble, thought to be the biggest of its kind in Africa was unveiled in Abajah, Southeastern Nigeria.

Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the "Jesus de Greatest" statue weighs in at 40 tonnes.

More than 100 priests and hundreds of Catholic worshippers attended the nine-metre (30-foot) statue's official unveiling in the village of Abajah in southeastern Nigeria.
It was commissioned by Obinna Onuoha, a local businessman who hired a Chinese company to carve it and placed it in the grounds of a 2000-capacity church that he built in 2012.
In his homily at a Mass before unveiling the statue, presiding bishop Augustine Tochukwu Okwuoma said it would be a "very great symbol of faith" for Catholic worshippers and passers-by alike.

"It will remind them of the importance of Jesus Christ," said Okwuoma.

The cost of the statue has not been revealed.

Earlier in the week, Onuoha told AFP it would be "the biggest statue of Jesus on the continent."

The 43-year-old boss of an oil and gas distribution company timed the statue's unveiling to coincide with his parents' 50th wedding anniversary.
Nigeria, Africa's most populous country with 170 million people, is split between a more prosperous Christian south and a poor Muslim north -- an occasional source of tension.
More than 17,000 people have been killed in Islamist group Boko Haram's six-year quest to create an independent state but the violence has been mainly confined to Nigeria's Muslim-majority north.

And even as Nigeria rings in 2016, the ever-present threat of violence by Boko Haram hangs heavy over the country, despite official claims that the battle against the Islamist group has been "technically" won.

"We think religions can exist side by side," Onuoha said. "We hope that people can live in harmony."

He said the idea of building a giant statue of Jesus came to him in a dream nearly 20 years ago.

And when his 68-year-old mother fell seriously ill a few years ago, she made him promise that he would build a church if she survived.
