Senator Florence Ita-Giwa, former wife of the late Editor-in Chief of Newswatch Magazine, Dele Giwa, has reacted to the recent remarks made by the former Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Chris Omeben, that the late Giwa was careless in maintaining a relationship with his former wife. Mr. Omeben, who clocked 80, was in charge of investigating the murder of the late journalist in 1986. Reacting to Omeben’s remarks through her Media Liaison Assistant, Jonathan Eze, Ita-Giwa described them as “indicative of a mind rapidly progressing into dementia and of somebody who is desperately trying to cover up his incompetence with regards to the case.” She said, “The recent ‘revelations’ by Christopher Omeben, insinuating in one breath that Dele Giwa’s assassination via a parcel bomb may have been remotely connected to his ‘unhealthy relations with his estranged wife’ and in the next breath, he named Kayode Soyinka, Dele’s colleague, who was the only survivor and eyewitness of the dastardly ...

Linda Ikeji, Nigeria's leading blogger I have been intending to comment on this development for a while now. I just wanted to wait a little before doing so in order to gauge developments afterwards because I am so sure there will be. Nigerian blogger, Linda Ikeji, recently acquired a property worth over N500 million in the priciest real estate location, Banana Island, Ikoyi. And pronto, people (at least, they say they are homo sapiens) took up the gauntlet, trying to taint her joy by saying #GoAndMarry. Ha ha haaaa!! It shows her soaring success is blowing up insecure folks' incessant doubts and vulnerabilities about them and where they are in life. To sermonise a bit, success is a magnet that is respecter of goodness only- hatred and jealousy behind these bad sentiments ward off their good fortune whereas good-heartedness attracts it. Sad, that there are so many haters in the world who are never happy about other peoples'success but must find a way to introduce ne...

1 Phil Collins says he has officially come out of retirement British singer Phil Collins has said he is coming out of retirement, four years after leaving the music business. In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, he stated: "I'm no longer officially retired. The horse is out of the stable and I'm raring to go." The 64-year-old is even planning to go on the road. "I don't think I want a very long tour," he said. "But I would like to play the stadiums in Australia and the Far East, and that's the only way to do that. But there's a part of me that just wants to do theatres, so we'll see." In 2011, Collins decided to leave music because he wanted to be a full-time father to his young sons. Four years on, his situation has changed: "My kids are now 10 and 14 and they want to see what their dad does," Collins told Rolling Stone. "They were in nappies when I was last on the road ... I'd like to ta...

He's one of world football's best-known names -- and now Samuel Eto'o is using that fame to draw attention to the ongoing crisis that "everyone stops talking about." The former Barcelona and Chelsea star has set up the Yellow Whistleblower FC  foundation to raise funds and awareness to help people fleeing Nigeria and Cameroon amid a rising tide of attacks from Boko Haram militants. Earlier this month,  Oxfam revealed  that more than 1.5 million people have fled their homes in Nigeria alone, while Cameroon -- to which many have escaped -- is an increasing target for cross-border terror attacks. Samuel Eto'o kicks off campaign against Boko Haram   02:55 Islamist group Boko Haram has carried out bombings, assassinations, kidnappings and abductions in its campaign to impose its strict version of Sharia law.

Kayode Soyinka, who was the London correspondent of Newswatch magazine and was with the late Dele Giwa at the time of his murder, says Haliru Akilu, Kunle Togun and former military president, Ibrahim Babangida, are the prime suspects in the death of the late journalist. Akilu, who retired as brigadier-general in 1993, served as director general of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), chief of defence intelligence, and director of the Directorate of Military Intelligence (DMI) in the Babangida administration. Togun was the deputy director of the State Security Service (SSS) at the time of Giwa’s death by parcel bomb on October 19, 1986. Soyinka said he could have been killed in the incident, recalling that he initially held the parcel containing the explosive that killed Giwa.  He was responding to the allegation of Chris Omoben, a retired police officer, who accused Soyinka of being the prime suspect. In an interview with NAN, Omoben had alleged that Ray Ekpu, co-founder of Ne...

Barcelona striker Neymar Rumours of a mega-money move to Old Trafford for Neymar persist with reports in England highlighting the extravagant wages the Red Devils would have to cough up to secure the Brazilian's services. Neymar’s father confirmed that United made an approach for his son last summer, but a €190m move - the buyout clause in his contract - never came to fruition. The striker's future has been in doubt as he has yet to commit his future to the club and according to  The Sun , United will have to at least match the proposed £500,000-a-week (€698,000) that he Catalans are expected to offer the 23-year-old. Such a deal would double his current deal and place him behind only Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo among the biggest earners in football. It has been widely speculated that Barcelona will open negotiations before Christmas to fend off any interest in the Brazilian striker. Neymar joined Barcelona from Santos in June 2013 and scored 29 goals and s...

1 Brazil midfielder Ramires has signed a contract extension with Chelsea Chelsea and Jose Mourinho have received a boost ahead of a potentially critical period, with Ramires signing a contract extension until June 2019. The Brazil midfielder, who was linked with Juventus during the summer, has committed his future to the Blues, who are enduring a challenging season in defence of their Premier League title. Chelsea announced the deal on Thursday evening. Mourinho, who in August signed a four-year contract committing himself to Stamford Bridge until June 2019, was subject to the first vote of confidence of Roman Abramovich's 12-year ownership on October 5. Since then, Chelsea have won one of their four matches - against a free-falling Aston Villa; the latest defeat was on penalties to Stoke in Tuesday night's Capital One Cup tie - while Mourinho has faced disciplinary action from the Football Association. The 52-year-old Portuguese had until 1800 on Thursday to res...

Chelsea were last night in imminent danger of being taken to court by Eva Carneiro over Jose Mourinho’s banishing of her as the first-team doctor at Chelsea. 1 Eva Carneiro talks to Jose Mourinho after treating Eden Hazard According to the Daily Telegraph, Carneiro and the Premier League champions have failed to agree a severance package following her departure last month. This means that, barring a last-minute deal, her only recourse is to lodge a constructive dismissal claim at an employment tribunal, something that could lead to Chelsea ­being pursued for hundreds of thousands of pounds. The deadline for submitting such a claim is next week, with the law allowing complainants a three-month window. Carneiro has not reported for work since she and physio Jon Fearn were banished from the bench by Mourinho for treating Eden Hazard during Chelsea’s ­opening-day draw with Swansea City on Aug 8. She finally conceded defeat in her battle to resume her Stamford Bridge career last mon...

Social networking sites have changed our lives. There were 500 million active Facebook users in 2011 and approximately 200 million Twitter accounts. As users will know, the sites have important differences. Facebook places more of an emphasis on who you are and who you know. Twitter restricts users to 140-character updates and is more about what you say than who you are. A new study asks whether and how the way people use these sites is related to their personality, and whether there are personalty differences between people who prefer one site over the other. David Hughes at Manchester Business School and his colleagues surveyed 300 people online – most (70 per cent) were based in Europe, others were from North America, Asia and beyond. There were 207 women and the age range was from 18 to 63. Participants answered questions about the way they used Facebook and Twitter and which site they preferred. They also answered questions about their personality based around the “Big Five” pers...

TLC singer Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas has finally found Mr. Right after years of struggling to meet her match on reality TV. BOSSIP can exclusively confirm that Chilli has been happily dating working actor Brad James quietly under the radar for the past six months. A source close to the singer tells BOSSIP that she’s very happy. Brad even visited Chilli while she was on tour earlier this year. “They’re adorable,” the source gushed to BOSSIP. “Seriously they are both glowing.” Like her romance with Usher, Brad is younger than Chilli (by 7 years!) but apparently he has managed to check off all the boxes on her list of requirements for a companion. People who followed Chilli on her reality TV dating journey will recall that she’s quite picky. One thing that’s obvious to see is that he fits her fitness requisite.
