It is no longer news that the much celebrated marriage between the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Ogunwusi and popular socialite Sonia Itohan aka Olori Wuraola has crashed.
The marriage which crashed shortly after Wuraola joined popular Nollywood actresses to march against domestic violence is a story of Royal love turned sour.
Report has it that Oba Ogunwusi has married a Yoruba Queen simply identified as Bolanle.
She was introduced to the monarch by his three sisters.
A source told NG that the public will not be seeing the new Queen because the monarch has been advised to ensure he didn’t reveal her identity.
The source added that the king is likely to marry two more Queens.
One of them, a middle aged woman simply identified as Bimbo is based in Canada while the other one named Banke works at Globacom.
Heartbroken Wuraola recently dishounoured the king at Murtala Mohammed domestic Airport lounge in Lagos when she refused to greet him as he was heading to Abuja with his entourage.
The drama that happened on Saturday the 12th of August 2017 was the first public indication of their marriage crash.

As reported by Post-Nigeria, the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari, against provoking another civil war in Nigeria, by threatening to deal with freedom fighters as terrorists.
Kanu was reacting to Buhari’s recent broadcast, and Tuesday’s alleged directive to Security Chiefs, to handle the agitations for self-determination the same way as Boko Haram and herdsmen menace.
Kanu advised Buhari to rather concentrate efforts on governance, and how to take Nigeria out of economic recession, instead of issuing threats to intimidate genuine agitators.
His words: “The directive to Service Chiefs to clamp down on IPOB, is a continuation of the Buhari’s dictatorial and undemocratic approach to governance. I find it unacceptable, abhorrent, and insulting that somebody elected by the people can turn around to dictate to them. Buhari was elected to govern Nigeria; he should get on with the business of governance, and not try to instigate another war.”
“We have refused to be provoked to arms rebellion. That is what Buhari is looking for. Buhari wants a war, but we won’t oblige him, because we are civilised people. We are democrats at heart by nature and by essence.”
He however, said that no amount of threat or intimidation would make him give up the struggles for Biafra autonomy because it is a genuine cause.
He challenged Buhari to defeat advocates of self-determination with superior arguments on why Nigeria should continue as one indivisible country, instead of thinking he could cow them into submission by force.
“This notion and idea that we can intimidate them or bang them into submission do not work with Nnamdi Kanu. I only respond to reason and logic. I am not scared by threats. Defeat me with superior arguments not with the force of arms, because it won’t work with me. Nigeria never defeated Biafra. Britain and other devilish powers did. Nigeria can never defeat Biafra.”
Kanu accused Buhari of hypocrisy by supporting the independence bid of Palestine and Western Sahara on the one hand, while clamping down on Biafran agitators on the other. His words:

Kanu accused Buhari of hypocrisy by supporting the independence bid of Palestine and Western Sahara on the one hand, while clamping down on Biafran agitators on the other. His words: “How come Buhari is supporting Palestinian self-determination, Western Sahara self-determination, but wants Biafrans to be killed? That is sheer monumental hypocrisy. I want everybody liberated – Yoruba, Igbo, Jukun, Ijaw, Ibibio, etc. Convince me why Nigeria is a better option using sensible reasonable argument and not threats”.
According to Kanu: “We are not armed, and we can never be armed. IPOB has done a lot to free other ethnic nationalities from the Caliphate’s bondage of retrogression and economic emasculation. Other ethnic nationalities should be grateful to IPOB for giving them the courage and the heart to speak up and say they are not slaves.
“We are not afraid because IPOB is a peaceful mass movement, and not a violent arms group. IPOB is a nonviolent peaceful mass movement. There is no recorded event of an injury being sustained in any of the numerous IPOB gatherings. People converge in their millions to listen to this gospel of the restoration of Biafra.
“We are the most disciplined; most well- behaved mass movement anywhere on the face of the earth despite the genocidal killings, arbitrary arrests, illegal detentions without trial.
According to him, BSS was basically inaugurated to gather intelligence about the October 1 quit notice to Igbo living in the North; and to also defend communities in Biafra land against herdsmen invasion.
“No army was set up. Forget the distortions you see in the media. They only do so to attract traffic. What we have is only BSS set up to give us intelligence regarding the October 1 quit notice to Ndigbo living in the North. We are students of history. The same thing happened in 1966. No adequate arrangements were made to cater for the safe return of our people from the North and as a result, hundreds of thousands of people were massacred.
“All that IPOB is trying to do is to avoid the reoccurrence of the 1966 genocidal massacre of innocent Igbo men, women and children in the North. It is to prevent the menace of Fulani herdsmen which Buhari cleverly avoided to mention during his broadcast because they are his kinsmen. This means that he supports the killings of innocent people by herdsmen as a way of expanding their Islamic domination agenda
“The majority of our people across South South and South East support what IPOB is doing. They also support the formation of BSS that will take care of this land in terms of its security needs. Attacks by the rampaging Hausa/ Fulani herdsmen will be a thing of the past. We can no longer allow it to go on.”
“People talk about BSS as if it is something new. They have the Shariah police in the North, they also have the Hisbah police in the North answerable to Islamic courts. In the West they have OPC but here in the South East we have nothing. Why is it that when I want to safeguard the interest of Biafra, they begin to kick against it?”
Asked how BSS would confront the rampaging herdsmen since the former is not armed, Kanu said: “We don’t need arms to disarm people who are carrying guns; we know the terrains of our villages better than they”.
Continuing he said: “We shall disarm them and stop them from rampaging and invading our communities. I don’t want some ethnic bigots occupying the corridors of power to provoke us into arms confrontation, by sending troops masquerading as herdsmen to come and attack Biafra land.”

Cut down on sugary drinks and foods and fewer bacteria will grow in your mouth and your breath will smell fresher.
Brush your teeth and your tongue twice every day
Smelly bacteria can accumulate on your tongue, as well as your teeth, so don’t forget to brush your tongue, especially the back of your tongue, whenever you brush your teeth.
In one study it was discovered that brushing the tongue reduced bad breath by 70%. Remember that you should be brushing twice a day, every day.
Get regular check-ups at the dentist
Bad breath can also be caused by cavities, so it is important to keep up with your dental appointments. Your dentist will recommend how often you should have a check-up, based on the condition of your teeth and gums.
While you get your check-up, you can also have a professional clean of your teeth done and that will help keep bad breath away too.
Avoid food that causes bad breath
Certain types of food are notorious for causing bad breath, such as onions, garlic and coffee. Food that is acidic can cause bad breath as well, because they change the PH balance in your mouth, which causes bacteria to multiply faster.
Try avoiding things like tomatoes, grapefruit, pineapple and oranges and see if that helps.
Floss daily
Small particles of food can get trapped in between your teeth and brushing alone won’t dislodge it.
If that food is left there, the bacteria in your mouth will feed off it and that will cause bad breath. Flossing daily is the only way to make sure that you remove those small particles of food.
Use an antibacterial mouthwash
An antibacterial mouthwash will kill off the bacteria that brushing won’t and it will keep your mouth fresh for a long time.
Use a mouthwash after every brush and look mouthwashes that contain chlorhexidine, or cetylpyridinium chloride, because these are the best for fighting the bacteria that causes bad breath.
Drink lots of water
If your mouth gets dry, then your bad breath will get worse, so make sure that drink plenty of water throughout the day and it will help to keep your breath fresh.
You should be drinking plenty of water for the benefit of your health anyway, so increasing how much you drink will be a good thing all round.
Cut down on sugar
Sugar is another thing that the bacteria in your life love to feed off, and when they feed, that is when you get bad breath.
Cut down on sugary drinks and foods and fewer bacteria will grow in your mouth and your breath will smell fresher.
Eat more raw fruit and vegetables
When you feel you need a snack, eat raw vegetables or some fruit and that will satisfy your hunger and help freshen up your breath too.
Munching on raw foods, such as apples, carrots and celery will help to dislodge small bits of food from between your teeth and it will also increase the production of saliva that will help to wash away the bacteria.
Fresh fruit and veg will also keep your digestive system in good working order and that will help keep your breath fresh as well.

Anatoly Antonov, former Russia Deputy Foreign Minister, has been appointed to serve as the country’s ambassador to the United States, the Kremlin said on Monday.
The appointment was signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Antonov, 62, will replace Sergei Kislyak, who retired in July after serving as Russian envoy to the U.S. for nine years.
Kislyak has been at the centre of investigations in the U.S, following the alleged Russia interference in the 2016 general elections in the United State.
Antonov has been a top Russian diplomat since 1978. He was appointed the deputy foreign minister in charge of military and political security in December 2016 after serving as the country’s deputy defence minister for six years.

Most of us wear makeup because it makes us feel and look better. Teen girls will often cake themselves in products in an attempt to look older and they can be forgiven for getting it wrong – they’ll learn!
But many people wear makeup to try to hide the signs of ageing and to look more radiant and youthful, and sadly they also often get this wrong. Here are six ways to ensure your makeup doesn’t make you look older instead of younger.
1. Don’t wear too much
Are you guilty of really piling on the makeup in an attempt to smooth out your skin so that you appear younger? This is a rookie error. In fact, wearing heavy foundation and doing harsh contouring can flatten out your face and remove any actual signs of life from it. This means that, unless you have really problematic skin, rather switch the heavy coverage for something more sheer.
2. Prime your lines
Just in case you thought that using foundation was the best way to fill in fine lines, you’d be wrong – primer is tops. This amazing product should be applied to clean skin and allowed to dry before you apply your makeup. It will fill in any wrinkles and enlarged pores so that you have a smooth canvas to which to apply your cosmetics.
3. Match your colours
It might seem obvious, but make sure that you choose shades, specifically with regard to foundation and blushes, that are well matched to your skin tone. This is something that a lot of people get very wrong, and it’s obvious in the most cringeworthy way. This might mean that you need different shades for different seasons, but looking natural is the key to looking young and radiant.
4. Wear sunscreen
Living in Africa, we all know how important it is to apply a good-quality SPF daily. This still applies if you are wearing a full face of makeup. Sun damage is one of the biggest causes of ageing, and UV rays can penetrate right through your foundation regardless of how much you apply, which can cause sunspots, discolouration and wrinkles. Prevent this by wearing an SPF under your makeup.
5. Use matt products with caution
Matt lips might still be bang on trend, but when it comes to your foundation it can make you look older. This is because as we get older our skin becomes drier, so adding to the existing dryness by using a setting powder will emphasise any fine lines. Dewy skin is associated with youth, so unless you have excessively oily skin, it’s time to embrace the shine.
6. Keep it natural
A pop of colour on the eyes every now and then can be uber-glam, but if you want to look younger, then something more subtle and neutral, paired with bold lashes, is the way forward. Dark and bright eye shadow has a tendency to look like something from a bad ’80s music video if it isn’t applied properly, so wear it with caution.

According to a report by Post-Nigeria, controversial online media, Sahara Reporters, is reporting that since President Muhamamdu Buhari returned from the United Kingdom, UK, to Nigeria, he has been unable to talk for more than 10 minutes.
Although, Post-Nigeria has not been able to officially confirm the authenticity of the report, as being published by Sahara Reporters.
In the report titled: ”Buhari’s First Day Back On Duty A Loud Disappointment, Concerned Aso Rock Sources Say”, the online news portal maintained that Aso Cabals forced Buhari to come back, due to the forthcoming Sallah celebration.
Sahara Reporters’ publication reads in full:
President Muhammadu Buhari’s return to work on Monday got off to a limp start despite the celebrations which accompanied his return to Nigeria, on Saturday, his health clearly not much improved despite the best spin efforts of the cabal in the Presidency.
Aso Rock insiders who had been made to believe a rejuvenated and energized President would kick-start governance with energy and commitment became disillusioned, as they came to terms with the fact that President Buhari is still reeling in poor health condition.
Several Presidency sources told Sahara Reporters that the manipulative cabal managing the President made a number of moves in the 24 hours preceding Mr. Buhari’s return aimed at consolidating the fictional story of his having fully recovered from whatever ails him. Since arriving in Abuja however, it has become clear he is in no better shape than before he travelled, characterized by incoherence and inability to stay composed, and alert for more than 10 minutes at a time before lapsing into some form of health crisis and serious coughing. Buhari wore three different hats today, literarily
The first assignment of the day, the sources said, was the 7 AM speech which he supposedly gave to announce his return to the country. But the villa sources said the speech was pre-recorded, with no one being sure when it was recorded.
But if the managers thought the Monday breakfast speech would make the President look good to Nigerians, it seems to have achieved the opposite, many Nigerians condemning him for failing to speak about his prolonged absence from work, and the nature of his illness.
Instead, the President addressed perceived division caused by Biafran agitators and the insecurity caused by Boko Haram. He also vaguely addressed Arewa youths, concerning their ultimatum to the Igbos to leave the North.
While that effort clearly rubbed concerned and nervous Nigerians the wrong way, Buhari’s media managers followed up with photos of him signing his resumption letter, with a very short video clip on Twitter, showing him and his controversial Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari, and another voice in the background giving directives as to which letter would go to Senate or the House of Representatives.
Later in the day, the office of the President released more photos showing Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, visiting him for a “briefing”. Presidency sources disclosed that although the VP was around for close to two hours, there was nothing plausible to write home about, as the President was only “present” for a few minutes, making the meeting very brief and unproductive.
One clear strategy by the cabal, our sources stated, was to keep the President from making offhand comments that could reveal his true health status. That trend started when President Buhari’s cabal began letting visitors see him in London, after he regained a semblance of normalcy following intense treatment that lasted for months. The practice has been to release very short clips of him joking or saying a few words.
In today’s media game, three different sets of photographs were released to the public, with President Buhari donning three different hats in one day. In some photos, he looked quite robust, while in other photos he looked decidedly emaciated.
Meanwhile, President Buhari’s Special Assistant on Media has revealed that Mr. Buhari could be heading back to the United Kingdom for medical treatment, a decision many Nigerians have criticized, especially in the light of his failure to disclose his diagnosis.
Sahara Reporters had revealed that President Buhari’s Doctors asked that he remain in London for another month, but his handlers insisted that he comes home for the Sallah, so as to maintain his appeal to his base.
Of all the persons in high office who have talked about President Buhari’s health situation, the Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal, interestingly stated that that Mr. Buhari needs more prayers, which is contrary to the impression created by his inner circle that he is completely “recovered”, in effect, available fully to resume his office.
Analysts point out that contrary to that impression, it is instructive that it has now been announced that a leader who is supposedly fully recovered from an illness, will now again work from his residence. Some Aides have said in that regard that his main office is under some renovation, a claim our sources dismiss as false.
According to a report by Post-Nigeria, controversial online media, Sahara Reporters , is reporting that since President Muhamamdu Buhari re...
