Ekiti Assembly approves death penalty for cultists

A bill seeking to prohibit the activities of secret cults scaled third reading at the Ekiti State House of Assembly on Tuesday.

The substance of the bill is the prescription of the death penalty for those found guilty of breaching the law in that regard. Persons found guilty of aiding and abetting cultism would also bag life imprisonment. All that is left is for it to be signed into law by the governor.

The new provision was an amendment to the law against cultism, enacted by Ayo Fayose during his first tenure as governor of the state. The law had provided a seven-year imprisonment for anyone convicted of cult activities, whereas those aiding and abetting the act were to be imprisoned for five years.

The bill titled, ‘Secret Cult (Abolition and Prohibition) [Amendment] Bill, 2017,’ gained the lawmakers’ attention following increase in cult activities at the Ekiti State University, Ado Ekiti which led to the killing of students recently.

Before the passage, the House Leader, Akinyele Olatunji, recalled the killings at the university due to cult activities.

“We will not allow any group to turn Ekiti into death trap area,” he said, while thanking the governor, Ayodele Fayose, for introducing the bill.
“We cannot fold our arms while some people would constitute themselves as a menace and eliminate the lives of innocent people of this state,” speaker of the house, Kola Oluwawole, said, while making his remarks on the bill.

“It is an everlasting sorrow for someone to lose his child or relative. The bill will reshape the lives of our youth. It will ‘touch’ those who intend to join any secret cults and those who have the intention to take another person’s life.

“Those people that we are representing will have peace of mind that their lives and those of their children are safe. The bill considers very seriously the negative consequences of such action because of the irreparable loss of lives.”

Mariah Carey accused of sexual harassment by former security guard

Singer Mariah Carey could land herself in serious trouble as she's being accused of sexual harassment in a suit about to be filed by a former security guard.
According to complaints contained in a draft lawsuit reported by TMZ, it was claimed that the singer exposed herself to Michael Anello, her former security guard whose company also alleged that Mariah constantly humiliated him by referring to him as a Nazi, a skinhead, a KKK member and a white supremacist.
Now Anello is planning to sue over a $220,000 unpaid invoice for security his company provided to Carey from June 2015 through May 2017. Anello is after another $511,000 for two remaining years on a security contract
Read TMZ full report below.

Mariah Carey's former security company has threatened to sue her ... and the guy who owns the company says she constantly humiliated him by referring to him as a Nazi, a skinhead, a KKK member and a white supremacist.
Michael Anello's lawyer has prepared a draft of a lawsuit, claiming his company worked for Mariah from June 2015 to May 2017 and got stiffed on the balance to the tune of $221,329.51. Anello claims he was promised another 2 years which would add $511,000 to the tab.
Anello says Mariah humiliated him and his colleague by referring to them as members of the hate groups. Anello also claims Mariah "wanted to be surrounded with black guys, not white people."
The draft lawsuit also makes allegations of sexual harassment, claiming she committed "sexual acts with the intent that they be viewed by Anello." Anello claims during a trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mariah asked him to come to her room to move some luggage and when he got there, she was wearing a see-through negligee that was open. He says he tried leaving but she insisted he move the luggage. He says he left the room and there was no physical contact.
Mariah's people tell us they were in touch with Anello's lawyer Monday and were agreeable to pay certain invoices, but we're told Anello is not satisfied with the amount.
Mariah's people have no information on the sexual harassment claim.
The lawyer for Anello says the lawsuit is now on hold, presumably because they are in settlement negotiations.

Kim Kardashian has allegedly decided to divorce Kanye West

Well, divorce rumors have plagued the couple since the beginning of the year so this is probably just another one of those but online sources are claiming Kim Kardashian is planning to divorce Kanye West.
According to Life & Style magazine, Kanye's continued erratic behavior and frequent absences following a Nov. 21, 2016, involuntary hospitalization has forced Kim to make the heartbreaking decision to put an end to their marriage. Kim stuck by Kanye’s side during his breakdown and its aftermath but she hoped things would get better, and they haven’t.
An insider told Life & Style: "Kim will be filing for divorce from Kanye. It’s officially over. She is ready to move on with her life.”
The source continued: "Kanye thinks he’s being spied on. Kanye will go days without talking to her. He’s hot and he’s cold. Even their sex life isn’t what it used to be."

A second source said that before his breakdown, which ended with Kanye handcuffed to a gurney and held at LA's UCLA Medical Center for eight days, the rapper confided in his wife about his drug use, which included ingesting both liquid and traditional marijuana, among other substances. Later, in December, she was forced to testify under oath (as part of a nasty legal war between Yeezy and his insurance company over the cancellation of his Saint Pablo tour) about her husband taking Percocet pain pills, which he had a prescription for.
The source adds that "Kim is the only person the doctors would speak with” when Kanye was involuntarily admitted. While they recommended he "undergo extensive and ongoing therapy" for his psychiatric issues, Kim actually started joining the father of her children at sessions, a friend notes. "In counseling, they’d discuss Kanye’s different triggers and how Kim can keep him from getting upset at home."
Though Kim’s rep denies they’re divorcing, life with Kanye has continued to be a struggle.
"They recently had a blowout fight about him spending all his time in the recording studio," says the first source. "There are days she doesn’t even see him, and he’s not out of the country or even the state — he’s in LA!"
Kanye was behind Kim’s October birthday getaway to the Amangiri resort in Canyon Point, UT, but even that was a bust. Life & Style claims an insider told them.
"It was a lovely gesture," the insider acknowledges of the adults-only trip. "(But) the serenity and beauty of the landscape in Utah appeals to Kanye. Kim was bored out of her mind." Worse, she was worried they might miss news about baby No. 3. Their children have been her top priority these days.
"The surrogate’s pregnancy has been normal thus far," says the insider.
She’s expected to give birth around late December, but even the impending arrival of their new addition isn’t enough to bond the duo.
"(Kim) feels like she’s tried everything. She’s tired and she’s done with this marriage," says the source. "Kanye makes it very difficult for her. She loves being a mother, but she wants it all, and Kanye can’t give that to her."
The source adds: "Kim has a lot she still wants to accomplish, and she can’t do that if she feels Kanye is dragging her down. The last thing she wants is to become this rich, lonely, unhappy housewife, and that’s where her life is headed. Kim definitely wants out of the marriage."

PDP Chairmanship: Gbenga Daniel will succeed – Sultan of Sokoto

The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar III has declared that a front-runner in the National Chairmanship race of the Peoples Democratic Party, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, will succeed in his bid for the apex seat and that the entire Sultanate is praying for him.

The Sultan made this remark on Thursday when Otunba Daniel and his campaign entourage paid him a visit in continuation of the nationwide consultation before the December 9 National Convention.
In the words of the Sultan: “Gbenga Daniel has been my very good friend since the days he was governor of Ogun. I remember the very good hospitality he affords me anytime I visit Ogun State.
“Gbenga Daniel, we all are praying for you to succeed in this quest and I am personally enjoining you not to forget the people when you get there.

You are free to visit me any time” Gbenga Daniel, Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar III and others While speaking on the state of the nation, the Sultan advocated for a strong opposition urging politicians to be forthright in their dealings at all times.

On his part, Daniel thanked the Sultan for the warm reception and promised to do all within his power to ensure the party becomes victorious in 2019.

After that, the team was hosted by the former governor of Sokoto State, Alhaji Attahiru Bafarawa, who assured Otunba Daniel of his support in his National Chairmanship bid. Bafarawa who received Otunba Daniel at his Sokoto residence, expressed his delight at the interest of Otunba Daniel to lead the PDP back to victory in 2019.

According to Bafarawa, he deliberately decided to wait and receive the entourage in Sokoto when he learnt that Daniel chose to start his campaign in Sokoto.

“Many politicians may say something and do another but I’m not like that. We have discussed about your ambition before you came and I want to assure that I will stand by what I told you.” “The PDP of today is different from the past. There must be a level playing ground where we allow the aspirants to meet the delegates instead of just sitting in Abuja and deciding who to vote for.

That will be unfair to the party”. “Now you are working hard and going round the country campaigning, that is a good development.

I know you as a colleague and a friend and I know that if you can lead a complex state like Ogun, you can also lead the PDP” “You can see that someone who left his home state of Ogun to come and talk to delegates in Sokoto is a serious aspirant. In his response, Otunba Daniel thanked the former governor for the grand reception and the assurances of his support stating that having consulted with major stakeholders in the party, he is convinced that the electorates are ready for the authentic change.

“I have been going round the country and it is obvious that the people are regretting the decision to vote for change and they are ready to ‘change the change’. That is why I am in this race and my simple message is for all of us to start afresh together”.

Governor Dankwambo, who referred to Otunba Daniel as a leader and a friend, said he was excited to see the team in the State.

“I have seen in your entourage the people we know and in whom we are well pleased. We know that with them our party is in safe hands”

Continuing, he stated: “Your Excellency, you’re our leader and friend. Let me assure you that we will try to be equitable and fair to all aspirants. Gombe is a unique State and our delegates will listen to you, assess each aspirant and vote according to their will”.

“If I was the one to decide for Gombe, I would have asked you to just go and sleep but it is good that you have come and be assured that our delegates will be fair to you”, he stressed.

He then enjoined all aspirants not to engage in campaign of calumny but play by the rules and base their campaigns on issues and ideologies that will translate to electoral fortunes for the party.

The Gombe State PDP Chairman, Barr. Joel Adams Jagafa in his speech also referred to Otunba Daniel as a friend of the State. His words: “You’re our friend. If I ask each delegate seated here one by one, they will have positive things to say about you. In Gombe, we eat PDP, we sleep PDP. We are the only state in the north to survive the 2015 Tsunami and so we appeal to you to make Gombe your campaign base”, he concluded

Dad-of-two charged with murder of wife who died in paramedic's arms after suffering severe head injuries

A father-of-two was last night charged with the murder of his wife of two years who was found dying when a friend called by their home.

The friend raised the alarm almost as soon as she arrived at the couple's terraced home on Saturday afternoon to find mother-of-two, Simone Grainger in distress. Ambulance staff were called and despite trying to save the woman, she later died in the arms of paramedics after she suffered what is believed to be "severe head injuries".

Detectives launched a major hunt for her technician husband Steven Grainger, 32, and he was arrested several miles away 10 hours later. The 32-year-old father, who friends said had worked as a technician for the Insta Group, was taken to nearby police cells and was charged on Tuesday night by detectives from the Thames Valley Police Major Crime Team.

A spokesman for Thames Valley Police said on Monday that the scene had been sealed off as forensic science experts combed the house for clues. Police declined to say whether a weapon had been involved or how 30-year-old Mrs Grainger's injuries had been caused at the red brick home in Windsor Way, Calcot, Berkshire, in England.
Simone leaves behind two children, a boy and girl who are both of primary school age. He husband, whose address was given as Hartford Road, Reading, Berkshire, by police, is due to appear before magistrates on Wednesday.

The police spokesman said on Tuesday night: "A man has been charged with murder following a Thames Valley Police investigation. Steven Grainger, aged 32 years, of Hatford Road, Reading, has been charged with one count of murder. The charge is in connection with an incident which occurred in Windsor Way, Calcot on Saturday. Grainger has been remanded in custody to appear at Reading Magistrates' Court tomorrow (Wednesday)."

A Home Office pathologist carried out a post mortem examination on Mrs Grainger's body at the Royal Berkshire Hospital, in Reading, on Sunday evening, to ascertain the exact cause of her death. The results have not yet been revealed.

"Because my children are not on social media doesn't make me a bad mother": Keyshia Ka'oir admits she has kids but chooses to keep them out of the spotlight

For a very long time, there have been speculations that newly married Keyshia Ka'oir has kids and though she took to Twitter hours after her wedding to say she doesn't have kids in Jamaica, she has now admitted that she does, in fact, have kids.
In a new episode of Gucci Mane and Keyshia Ka'oir's wedding special on BET, The Mane Event, Keyshia had a yacht brunch date with singer Monica Brown and she opened up to her about the hateful comments online calling her a bad mother for not acknowledging her kids.
"Gucci and I do have kids," she admitted and Monica looked taken aback.

She went on to tell Monica that she and Gucci chose to keep the kids offline but it doesn't mean they were abandoned.
"I'm a damn good mother. How I've been dealing with these kids is the right way. Just because I'm not on Snapchat or Instagram Live with the kids doesn't make me less of a parent."
Keyshia went on to reveal that Monica has met her daughter, named Dior, in person and that's the way she prefers it to be, not letting the whole world see them on social media. She said she's a private person and as such likes to keep her kids off social media.
"You met Dior, you know, we bring them to the shows and stuff like that but I'm super private. But if I see you, I'll say 'Oh hey Monica, this is Dior, this is my daughter. But you're not gonna meet them from online."
"Because they are not on social media doesn't make me a bad mother," Keyshia added.
She continued: "I talked to Gucci about it and he's like 'don't worry about it, let them talk'"
Keyshia later thanked Monica Brown for coming to their little "yacht brunch" to which Monica told her that there'll be more yacht brunches because she and Gucci will be married "for a long long time" and Keyshia replied that they will be married "forever".
Goodluck to her. Hopefully their marriage will last forever like she hopes.
