Hmm!! Africa's First Official Gay Couple End Their Marriage (Photos)

The duo that made world headlines as the first ever African gay couple to tie the knot in a traditional wedding ceremony that caused a stir in South Africa and internationally in 2013, have gone their separate ways. All that love they once had for each other, has sadly, ended in a bitter divorce.

When Thoba Sithole and Cameron Modisane wedded in 2013, the pair seemed deeply in love and even talked about raising a family together.

They had planned on having kids via surrogacy. Unfortunately, the couple’s bliss didn’t last long.
One half of the former love birds, released a statement about their separation via his Facebook page, yesterday. Here it is;

Popular police and EFCC informant, Alhaji Gay, murdered (graphic)

Alhaji Gay is the number one trending topic in Nigeria right now. His real name is Razak Adetunji Alaso and before today, I'd never heard of him but apparently, he's popular within 'Yahoo Yahoo' circle in Lagos. They say he was very popular for tracking 'Yahoo' boys for the police and EFCC. Some say he was an EFCC/police imposter.

He was killed yesterday at Agbado Ijaiye, in Lagos. People in the know say there have been many attempts on his life - he's been stabbed and shot before but he survived. Guess the people after him succeeded this time. Sad! May his soul rest in peace, amen. See a photo of his body after the cut *graphic photo - be warned*

Full text of what Obama and Buhari said when they met today

Below is what President Obama said to President Buhari and his entourage... 

Well, it’s a great pleasure to welcome President Buhari and his delegation here to the Oval Office for his first visit since the historic election that took place. Nigeria is obviously one of the important countries in the world and one of the most important countries in the African continent. Recently, we saw an election in which a peaceful transition to a new government took place. And it was an affirmation of Nigeria’s commitment to democracy, a recognition that although Nigeria is a big country and a diverse country with many different parts, nevertheless the people of Nigeria understand that only through a peaceful political process can change take place.

You Need To Read The 6 Revealing Reasons Why NFF Sacked Steven Keshi

The termination of Stephen Keshi’s contract as Super Eagles coach came as a surprise to many. However, insiders believe that he must have seen it coming. Below are six reasons why the Nigerian Football Federation sacked him;

1. The removal of Keshi’s presidency godfather
Keshi was well protected by former President Goodluck Jonathan and had links with DSS DG Ekpenyong. So, it was not a co-incidence that barely 48 hours after Ekpeyong was removed by President Muhammadu Buhari, Keshi was fired. The shield had been removed; the once powerless NFF could strike. And they did.

2. Keshi shot himself in the foot with Cote d’Ivoire application
If the NFF were looking for an excuse to get rid of Keshi, he just handed it to them on a plate. They were never going to pass up the opportunity.

3. Pinnick is an advocate for foreign coaches
Apparently, if NFF President Amaju Pinnick had his way, all the national teams would be handled by foreign coaches.

4. Keshi had too many enemies
After winning 2013 AFCON, Keshi started taking up battles with anyone who had a contrary opinion. He fought most of the press, his assistant coach Daniel Amokachi and, crucially, probably had no friends on the NFF board.

5. Performances on the pitch did not help Keshi’s cause.
Even Keshi’s staunchest supporters would agree that the team has not played well since winning AFCON in 2013. They did the barest minimum at the World Cup, where they won only one of four games, and were embarrassingly abject in failing to qualify for the 2015 AFCON.

6. Keshi’s endless rebuilding and dismantling of Super Eagles
Excessive experimentation with players is believed to have eventually led to failure to qualify to the AFCON 2015.
