Heavy container truck crushes man to death in Lagos
According to a report by Punch, a heavy loaded 40-foot container fell on
a government meat van on June 6th, crushing a passerby and
wounding several others. The sad event took place at Ikeja
Along Bus Stop on Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway in Lagos.
Eyewitnesses said the truck had swerved
off the road to avoid colliding with some policemen, who were chasing a
motorcycle rider, before the incident occurred around 9am.
The victim, identified as Samuel
Ogunnaike, was an employee of a popular phone dealer in Computer
Village, Ikeja, and was on his way to the office when he met his death. Any hope that he could survive the
accident was dashed after he was trapped for about four hours before his
body was retrieved from the wreckage. (Punch)

‘Why I don't talk about the paternity of my daughter - Singer Omawumi
I never hid my child's paternity but I felt that since I'm not married, I don't need to come out and say this is the father of my child. It is always ideal for someone who wants to marry you to be the one to identify himself. Another thing is that he might not want to identify himself because he is not an artiste. He might not want that part of my life. He might just love me and my child. So I like to respect people's privacy. I also strongly feel that it is my job as a musician to entertain you and if you feel like my personal life is your business, it doesn't mean I feel the same way.
Initially when I got pregnant, I didn't feel the need to come out and start telling people that this is the father of my child. I didn't feel I owed it to anyone.

Omotola Ekeinde talks about her Time Magazine honour
"It's a great honour. Sometimes you really don't know your worth and people around you may just take you for granted. I was selected for a number of reasons. From what I was told, they watch a lot of my movies up there. The person who wrote my profile is actually the movie critic for Time magazine. He had been introduced to some of my movies. He also got to know about my other activities, including human rights activism and others. They also conducted opinion polls from those that follow what's going on in Nollywood. I think the opinion of the organisers is based on this. I wasn't the only person picked from Africa. There was another guy from Egypt but he's white and lives in the US. He is a blogger. I was the only black African honoured and out of the 100 honorees, they only picked 20 of our portraits displayed in the Time Work of Fame, and my picture was there. Not only that, it was given the pride of place. One thin I noticed was that from the moment I stepped onto the red carpet, I was treated like a queen. I was on one of the best tables, sitting with US Vice President, Joe Biden and others. I think it was a good moment for Africa. It was one of the few moments I felt like Africa has arrived.
