Gist That Was This Week

Heeeyaa!!!everybody. Hope you had an amazing week?I am so sorry I have not posted the latest gist, but I am going to do a quick rundown on stuff that went down this week.And The General Wept....... Buhari while addressing newsmen this week broke down in tears. It seems the alliance between himself and Ribadu did not scale through after all. I was wondering how that will ever be possible.Na wah oooh!!! Nigerian Diplomat Disgraced In Switzerland.............Swizz Police threw out a Nigerian diplomat Mr Egbide and his family on monday morning over rent indebtedness. It is alleged that before they were ejected, electricity supply to their residence was cut off. They were also cut off from their national insurance scheme. According to Mrs Egbide , they were unable to pay their rent because her husband has not been payed for two years by the Labour Ministry.People Mags Most Beautiful woman....... Jennifer lopez was named People magazine's most beautiful woman. I think it is a well deserved honour if you ask me.*rolls eyes* I know some of you might disagree. U.K Gang Members Sentenced To Life imprisonmentFor Killing A Nigerian Girl.....................Two gang members were sentenced to life imprisonment for killing a 16 year old Nigerian girl Agnes Sina-Inakoju. Agnes who had hopes of schooling in Oxford University became the victim of "gang warfare" when she was blasted in the neck by Leon Dunkley after she went to buy Pizza. Dunkley, 22, and Mohammed Smoured, 21, both members of the London fields gang, cycled up, before Dunkley, without looking who he was aiming at, pulled out the gun and fired. The shooting which was captured on CCTV showed the violent and escalating clash between youths from different parts of Hackney, east London. elDee's 'Top Talent' Has Something For You.........Are you unsigned and you want to take your music to the next level?

It is being alleged that a 13 year old boy has been denied bail by a chief magistrate in Owerri for allegedly attempting to 'kill' former President Obasanjo and the Governor of Imo State, Ikedi Ohakim on 31 March by stoning them with sachets of Pure water. He was arrested alongside 18 other people. While I do not in any way encourage kids to be disrespectful to their elders, I am wondering if the action of the magistrate is both legally and morally right because this boy in question is a minor.Stephanie Okereke Follows In Jay Z's Footsteps...... Nollywood actress Stephanie Okereke has some amazing projects in the works. She is working on a new perfume, her own lifestyle website (just like jay Z's. Life + Style which I posted some weeks back here) and a new movie 'Dry'. I hear the story line is about the 'VVF' scourge which is close to her heart.When this happens she will be the first actress to have both a lifestyle website and her own perfume. And oh! She is also preparing for her upcoming nuptials. She must be really busy now.So happy for her.
