Nigerian Writer Slams Dino Melaye, Says If You Were In America, You Would Be In Jail

Pius Adesanmi, a Nigerian writer wrote this on his Facebook page some hours ago.

Senator Dino Melaye is a tragic commentary on Nigerian society. No, scratch that, he is an indictment on Nigerian society. He is one of those reasons why I have argued over the years that Nigeria’s membership of 21st century civilization should be suspended by the international community until we have shown sufficient evidence that we are even minimally aware of civilization and modernity.

Nkiru Sylvanus Still Speaking On Marriage

Nkiru Sylvanus is still speaking on marriage. The actress was accosted by Saturday Beats who queried if she was married and in a man’s house and Nkiru denied being in anyone’s house or that she ever got married. She denied getting married to a powerful Northerner to become his 2^nd wife like it was widely spread months back, and said she never got married to a movie producer secretly like many media houses wrote shortly after the alleged Northern marriage. Speaking on when to settle down, the actress said;

“I will settle down whenever it comes, it is a thing of the mind, so when you think your mind is ready to settle down, you will. For me, it could be now, it could be tomorrow, next year or next five years. For instance, male fans will always try to woo me, it’s part of living, but you have to have a polite way of saying no. If I say no, I mean no.”

                         Romelu Lukaku celebrates after scoring the first goal for Everton

Romelu Lukaku scored a late brace to send Everton into the FA Cup semi-finals with a 2-0 win over his former team Chelsea, whose miserable week ended with a Diego Costa red card.
The Stamford Bridge outfit were knocked out of the Champions League by Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday, meaning both sides were left with a remaining target of FA Cup glory to salvage underwhelming seasons.

This all-or-nothing feel influenced most of the first half, where two fully committed teams were hindered in their search for fluency and creativity in a high-octane contest.
Things opened slightly after the break, with Costa and Everton's Ross Barkley both going close before Lukaku scored his first goal in five appearances against a club where he was deemed surplus to requirements.
