Bella Disu, daughter of Nigerian billionaire and Globacom CEO Mike Adenuga, is building a multimillion-dollar shopping mall in Opebi, the commercial hub of Ikeja, Lagos. The new shopping mall christened “Ile-Oja” is situated along the ever-busy Opebi Allen Road in Ikeja. It has three floors with available lettable spaces from 75 square meters to 890 square meters.

She was the wife of a Nigeria-based pastor, Eze Kings, according to the Foundation for Investigative Journalism. New York Post gathered that Dwumfour, 30, was hit with about 12 gunshots by a yet-to-be-identified assailant while driving around her home on Wednesday evening.

Chilling Snapchat footage of the aftermath of the incident showed Dwumfour’s body in the car while first responders surround the scene. The witness said, “It took a second before I realised there was a de

He is totally naked, even as he shouts that he needs to withdraw cash from the bank. I am aghast and disillusioned at the same time. I do not know what to think. My mouth is wide open, saliva gliding majestically as it drooled off my lower lip. Before now, I saw a similar video. It was that of a semi-naked young lady. She too had peeled off her wraps in protest of the crisis of cash that engulfed Nigeria last week. She was a centimetre off revealing her total nudity. She was a pathetic sight too as she constantly mouthed her frustration. Her kids could not go to school due to the crisis, she lamented in Yoruba, asking to be given her money or get her account closed. What could have driven humanity to this Albert Camus’ absurdity? As I look at the naked young man, I am transfixed and transposed in time. I am r
