Remember the publication we had last week about the Ostentatious and Extravagant lifestyle of Nigeria's Minister Of Petroleum, Diezani Allison-Madueke's son, Ugonna Madueke in the United States Of America? Did you miss the story please read it HERE.
The young man has not been too happy about the whole gist because according to him, the story which became so popular on-line since last week has negatively affected his family. Most especially his step mom who we all know was a key-player in Nigeria's Fuel Subsidy Removal, that is by the way. He literally described the story as: A wicked attack on my person via internet photographs.
Please read the story below:
Click Here To Read More >>>It was with great dismay that I awoke a few days ago to see the pictorial publications being circulated about my family and me by the on-line media. It has stirred up a great deal of controversy and has portrayed our family in a negative light.The pictures posted were taken over a period of time, some before my mother left the private sector as an ED at Shell to work for the Nigerian government. Although I benefited from a comfortable upbringing I was raised in a fairly strict environment by a military father who insisted that we worked to support ourselves whilst in school. He ensured that we had the basic minimum to support us covering tuition food and transport only.

The nude pictures of supposedly christian gospel singer who was the winner of BET Sunday Best 2010 Nigeria Auditions and daughter of late shepherd of Bethel Ministries, Pastor Gabriel Oduyemi- Funmi has hit the internet.
These thought provoking photos surfaced on the internet this week.
I only got these once this evening. Sources are saying that a bitter ex-lover that goes by the name Ese Morede, deliberately circulated the 'supposedly' private pictures to social networks.
Strangely some of the pictures were accompanied with a snapshot of Funmi and the estranged boy friend, 'Ese Morede'.
One of the pictures parades her backside with the tattoo 'Morede' on it.
The bearer of the name is said to be a married man.This development has raised questions about the source of the pictures.
Some claim a mischief maker wants to shift the blame of the revelation on Ese- others claim an angry wife wants to 'teach' the 'wayward girl' a lesson- bits and pieces accompanying the photographs alleged 'Funmi is comfortable with married men with extra cash to spare'
Unconfirmed sources further stretched talks surrounding the source as 'a concerned party, particular about exposing an illicit affair and a supposed role model's double life'

In some cases the pictures were accompanied with tales depicting her 'a hard partying night club prowler- with mounting debt to the bargain.

A spokesman for the military task force in the region said there had been no casualties.

Govt declares 24-hour curfew in Kano after suicide blast, explosions
The Kano State Government has declared 24-hour curfew after suicide blast, explosions
Meanwhile security forces in Nigeria’s second-largest city, Kano, battled gunmen after a suicide blast killed at least 6 police officers and several other major explosions targeted them Friday.
The city erupted in chaos, with some 20 explosions heard and at least five police offices thought to have been targeted.
Local television was reporting that scores were feared dead in the attacks. Police were not responding to phone calls, but the state government announced a 24-hour curfew until further notice.
It was not immediately clear who was behind the violence, though previous such attacks in Nigeria’s north have been blamed on Islamist group Boko Haram.
A senior police source said the suicide blast occurred at a regional police headquarters. Residents reported blasts and gunfire at the state police headquarters and said that at least two other police posts appeared to have been targeted.
An explosion was also heard in the area of a secret police office.
“There was a suicide attack on the police zone 1 headquarters,” the senior police source said on condition of anonymity. “So far two officers have been killed and the bomber also.”
