Days After Crashed Marriage, Fani-Kayode’s ‘Girlfriend’ Arrives From Scotland

A female friend of the former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, Elizabeth Akinmuda, has visited him in Nigeria from Glasgow, Scotland.

The visit is coming just days after the barely six-year-old marriage of Fani-Kayode to his estranged wife, Precious Chikwendu, crashed due to alleged domestic violence.

Fani-Kayode thus raised eyebrows on Friday when he gleefully announced via his Twitter that Akinmuda, his longtime friend, had come visiting him all the way from Scotland.

He tweeted: “Great to see my dear friend Elizabeth Akinmuda again after 6 long years. She flew in all the way from Glasgow, Scotland to say hello.

“You are looking great Elizabeth and thanks for coming. Blessings.”

Meanwhile, Akinmuda’s visit has generated a lot of reactions from Nigerians who find her sudden visit suspicious.

Here are some tweets:

@glamor_mute: “Suddenly remembered you after 6years of Precious filling up dat space…anyway Elizabeth, we have 4 toddlers to be taken care off…no hide face …sit and take care of them.”

@kkendobaz: “FFK please go and reconcile with Precious Chinkwendu the mother of your four beautiful and adorable kids. You can’t just allow this last marriage to fail. Remember we (Igbo people) love you so much as our inlaw. For Christ sake, please look beyond.”

@ahjibade: “Who bankrolled her journey from Scotland sir??”

President Joe Biden announced a series of measures on Tuesday aimed at ramping up coronavirus vaccine allocation and distribution, including the purchase of 200 million more vaccine doses and increased distribution to states by millions of doses next week. With those additional doses, Biden said there would be enough to fully vaccinate 300 million Americans -- nearly the entire US population -- by the end of summer or early fall. He described efforts to combat Covid-19 as a "wartime undertaking." We now have a national strategy to beat Covid-19. It's comprehensive. It's based on science, not politics. It's based on truth, not denial, and it is detailed," he said. As part of the new efforts announced Tuesday, the US will buy 100 million more doses from Pfizer/BioNTech and 100 million more from Moderna -- the two-dose vaccines that have been granted emergency use authorization by the US Food and Drug Administration. Pfizer and Moderna are working to step up p...

EndSARS: Protesters In New York Want SARS Operatives Sacked

Hundreds of young anti-SARS protesters on Sunday stormed the Nigeria House in New York demanding transparency in the disbandment of the police unit back home. The protesters said operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad found wanting should be sacked and not redeployed. Among them was Stephen “Papi” Ojo, the artist, model, and choreographer who stole the show as the ‘blue-guy’ in Beyoncé’s “Already” music video. The protest started shortly after the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, announced the dissolution of the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad. Adamu also announced plans for a new arrangement to address anticipated policing gaps following the disbandment, and the constitution of an investigative team to probe the alleged cases of rights violations, among others. But the protesters, who bore placards with different inscriptions including, “We no want audio ban”, said they were not buying it. They argued that previous commitments announced by the force to change...
