Little Nigerian viral photobomber lands endorsement deal after being enrolled to school
Late last year, a little kid became an internet sensation who goes by the name, Oluwatobiloba Michael Falana, after a photo of him ‘photobombing’ a wedding pose, went viral online.
After people read his touching story, shared by the photographer, there were lots of promises made to the lad and one of them was fulfilled as Nigerian singer, Terry G, who promised to enroll and see the lad through primary school held up his promise recently.
More doors seem to be opening for him after he landed a photoshoot with fellow photobomber turned model Olajumoke Orisaguna.
Oluwatobiloba Michael Falana is now a brand ambassador for Qtabyevents, a talent and event management company.
Oluwatobi started school early this year, as sponsored by Singer, Terry G. Oluwatobiloba is a beneficiary of the strength of the Nigerian social media space.
Read touching life story
The photos of him as he begins school has been shared by the photographer, who wrote:
2017 is sure not the end of the Lil man’s saga, as 2018 promises to be a greater one for our Lil man, Oluwatobiloba Michael Falana. Following his viral photo bombing picture late last year, which got a lot of people inspired and wanting to sow into his life for his courage and bravery.
Gabriel Oche Amanyi (Terry G), one of the many Nigerians moved by the viral picture came through with his promise as Oluwatobiloba resume school today alongside his peers.The popular musician Terry G on his social media page promise to sponsor the boy through his primary education.
Oluwatobiloba, on the other hand, was more than happy to be in school, something he had been looking forward to.
It’s however surprising how a picture can be the beginning of great things.
It will be recalled, that the three-year boy who is a product of a failed marriage, abandoned by his mother when he was barely a month old in the care of a jobless father and has never seen the four walls of a classroom has his story changed today 8th January 2018.
We are however grateful to every group and individual that have reached out to Oluwatobiloba Michael Falana, every kind-hearted fellas that deemed it fit to make our Lil man a better person.
We appreciate your time, cash, gifts and other promises that are yet to be actualized.
- Wizkid is definitely at a high point in his career
- His song Daddy Yo was used in an American film titled Pacific Rim Uprising
- This was revealed by Nigerian-British actor John Boyega vis his Twitter account
Popular musician Wizkid has been enjoying a level of success many thought could not happen to a Nigerian musician.
He has become to some extent a star outside the shores of this country as he performs at venues located in different countries. While some say his record label Sony Music is responsible, others feel his star is becoming to big to ignore.
Wizkid
Nigerian-British actor John Boyega took to his Twitter page to reveal that he used Wizkid’s hit song Daddy Yo in a American film he produced titled Pacific Rim Uprising. Read his tweet below:
“One of the most exciting things about producing Pacific Rim Uprising was the opportunity to influence the creative choices. So I put @wizkidayo song “Daddy yo” in the movie. Jaegers need afrobeats too! Oh yeah... here’s a video of me listening to this very song. Listening ish”
Congrats to Wizzy!
Popular Nigerian OAP, Toolz Oniru has called out top Nigerian artistes whom she claims stopped communicating with her immediately after she got married. She mentioned Timaya, Praiz and Iyanya as the artistes who have stopped communicating with her since she got married to Capt Tunde Demuren.
When she confronted singer Praiz about the issue after an interview he had with Oliseh and Maria Okan, she got to know that the singer didn’t really stop talking to her based on anything negative, he only curtailed the level of closeness in respect of her marriage. Singer Iyanya also stopped calling the curvy OAP based on the same reason given by Praiz. As for dancehall artiste, Timaya, he made it clear to the Beat 99.9 fm OAP that she became dead to him the moment she got married.
Toolz and capt Tunde Demuren tied the knot in 2016 in faraway Dubai with so many celebrities like Banky W, Oreka Godis, Tiwa Savage, Dolapo Oni, Noble and Chioma Igwe, Ebuka and Cynthia Obi-Uchendu, Olamide and Segilola Adedeji etc present to witness the event
The couple are yet to welcome a child since getting married 3 years ago even though she has been seen several times trying to hide a baby bump.
Toolz was born in London on 6 July,1982 and had her primary education at Talbot House preparatory school in Bournemouth, UK. She has her secondary education in Nigeria before relocating to study at City of Westminster College. She hosts The Midday Show on The Beat 99.9 FM.
Big Brother some minutes ago evicted both K-Brule and Khloe. They were issued a strike following their disagreement last night. K-Brule during an argument tried to attack Dee One but was held back by Angel and Lolu . Big Brother found this unacceptable and issued him a strike making it three strikes. Khloe was disqualified for comments she made to Kbrule, calling his mother a hoe. Kbrule and Khloe already had two strikes and today's own made it three strikes. This amounted to an automatic disqualification. Last week, Kbrule threatened to commit suicide.
Big Brother also issued a strike to Dee-One for provocation.
Daddy freeze is back to his favorite subject, fake pastors.
Daddy Freeze
Thanks to Daddy Freeze, Nigerian Christians can now differentiate the fake pastors from the real ones.
The Cool FM On Air Personality is offering pointers on identifying these kind clerics, whom he calls ‘Yahoo Boy Pastors.’
In his Youtube video, the convenor of the free the sheeple movement uses the scripture to show Nigerian Christians how they can differentiate the fake pastors from the real ones.
Daddy Freeze wants Nigerian Christians to know how to spot fake pastors (olisatv)
Daddy Freeze’s trick to identify fake pastors
Taking his backing from 2 Timothy 4:3 and John 15:18, Daddy Freeze says any preacher who receives a lot of love is most likely fake.
According to him, having a huge followership is another way to spot false preachers.
Going by this, the OAP says that being hated is a sure sign that you are on the right path.
He also refers to Matthew 7:13 to back his argument.
The OAP attacks the issue on his Instagram page in a post captioned:
Daddy Freeze and pastors
The OAP has been on an active campaign against preachers because he says he want to save Nigerians from those who fleece their members to support their lavish lifestyle.
This has made him a target for a lot of clerics who have been on the receiving end of his statements.
Still, it does not look like he is slowing down anytime soon
New photos of BBNaija 2018 housemate Cee-C emerges online, rumour has it that she is also married
Just after the Big Brother Naija 2018 housemates were paired in groups, things have become cozy between Tobi Bakre and Cee-C. The BBNaija couple has been seen kissing each other on several occasions.
In recent times, Tobi who is a banker has been found apologizing to Cee-C, a lawyer as she complains about him hanging out with other female housemates and not giving her all the attention she desires.
However, this attitude of Cee-C is not going down well with Nigerians who are routing for Tobi. In no time, someone has uploaded some alleged wedding photos of Cee-C.
Looking at the pictures which have gone viral on social media, the beautiful lawyer could be seen rocking a wedding band at several occasions.
See photos below
The prospect of Fatima Dangote’s wedding to Jamil Abubakar is delicious, like the luscious little apples that grow in the orchards of Winesburg.
The forthcoming union of the daughter of Africa’s richest billionaire, Aliko Dangote and the pilot son of former Inspector General (IG) of Police, MD Abubakar, promises to be the mother of all weddings.
It is a marriage made in heaven and signed to be actualised on earth, according to friends and family of the couple.
Besides the apparent love and unwavering loyalty of the duo to each other, friends and family enthuse that there couldn’t be a greater match of equals and beloveds;
from the moment Fatima’s courtship began by her beau, Jamil, families and friends of the duo embarked on fervent prayers, hoping that their attraction and love withstand the test of time.
The details are both in the telling and the seeing in respect of Fatima and Jamil’s budding love;
the magnetism binds them resonates very loudly and exhilaratingly, arousing feelings of envy and desire among friends and family, wishing that they are blessed with something similar.
Fatima and Jamil have a lot working for them; both their fathers are filthy rich and eager to fulfil their ultimate yearnings and they are equally blessed with towering grace, humility and desire to unite in a lifetime of love and commitment.
Thus as the wedding bells toll for the couple, their families are planning to spare no expense in giving them the treat of a grand wedding celebration.
According to the friends of the groom, about five presidents in the world and all the past presidents of Nigeria are billed to attend his daughter’s weddding.
Likewise, world’s renowned billionaire philanthropist and Microsoft boss, Bill Gate, has confirmed his intent to attend the wedding in March at the prestigious Eko Hotel, Lagos.
Unlike the wedding of Dangote’s first daughter, Halima to Bello in Kano city few years ago, Halima’s forthcoming wedding promises to be star-studded.
However, being the daughter of a billionaire is enough fame already. When you are now the daughter of the richest black man in the world, the entire black race should literally worship the grounds that you tread.
Men should bow and women should genuflect when you as much as look in their direction. If you were ostentatious, unruly and wild a la Paris Hilton, the world would wave it off as a non-issue;
it comes with the terrain, they would say just to cover up for your excesses. But Dangote’s daughters are not moulded like that.
They are unobtrusive and laidback, almost Spartan and deeply religious.

It's no lie that improvisation is constantly being practiced in our everyday life. We want the best but we cannot afford it, so we find other ways out, cheaper ways to create the illusion that we have it all! This happens a lot regularly in the beauty industry as cosmetic products are being modified daily and new, costlier products are being manufactured. These days with the right tools, every girl can do their makeup although unprofessional and still look lit. Now not all of us can afford to purchase these new expensive products that make makeup application a whole lot easier and faster.
I discovered these hacks reading a lot of articles and watching makeup videos and tutorials... No knowledge is ever lost! A lot of these new tricks i learnt seemed really preposterous and quite impossible but hey! Never say never! What works for you might not work for me and vice versa. So after going through a lot of trials and errors i have chosen five makeup hacks, although weird that i have found to work quite well and easy to do.
1- APPLY BABY POWDER TO EYELASHES BEFORE MASCARA.
This hack is quite easy to practice and helps makes your eyelashes appear fuller and longer no matter the type of mascara you use. Use a cotton bud to swipe through your eyelashes with some baby powder before applying mascara, You will love this hack!
2- SET OILY AND SWEATY AREAS OF THE FACE WITH TRANSLUCENT POWDER BEFORE FOUNDATION.
My people with oily/sweaty face, this one is for you. Using a translucent powder to set areas of the face that are oily and sweat easily can help to a great extent prevent oil breakage or sweat from those areas, especially when used along with good makeup products. Your makeup products should also not be oil based but at the same time, moisturization should be done!
3- USE A TRANSPARENT GLITTER GLUE TO HOLD DOWN EYEBROW HAIR FROM MOVING AROUND
Okay this one is quite tricky and i get some questions like, won't that spoil my eyebrows? Would the glue leave? Etc. Well i have been doing this for the longest time as i do not really like taking my eyebrow hair off most times. Also if you like full brows like me it would be a good idea because you do not want those full hairs flying up and down after you're done. Apply very little amount of glitter glue and brush it on the hair using your eyebrow brush... Easy! Works good!
4- ALWAYS WET BEAUTY BLENDER BEFORE MAKING USE OF IT.
This one is quite popular. You wonder why your foundation or concealer looks cakey and greasy after application and blending and why it is quite difficult to blend? Well here's why, your beauty blender is dry! Yeah it is! This is especially for you who does not make use of liquid foundation, dip beauty blender into water and squeeze out excess water before making use of it to blend in foundation! You will love this one!
5- IMMERSE FACE INTO COLD WATER TO SET MAKEUP AND MAKE IT LAST LONGER.
Calm down! It's not that bad, this one i got from Huda beauty Blog and i tried it out, it's quite a lot but works fine, especially when you do not have a setting spray! Now you would want to ensure you are making use of good products and mostly water resistant, do your full face makeup, get a bowl of cold water and deep your face in it for about 30 seconds. Pat dry carefully not to smudge your makeup, results are matte looking face and a little pale, now apply bronzer and you're good to go!
I hope you all learnt a thing or two from these hacks! I would really love to get feedbacks when you try one of these on your face. Until then stay tuned to Jarahgist.com for more makeup tips and tricks!
With the fast-paced nature of fashion in Nigeria, it has become extremely difficult to forecast what to expect next.
Various emerging fashion brands keep springing up from different parts of the country each season, with Lagos being the centre of focus.
The visions of these brands are modern and borderless—unburdened by ties to tradition, or the urge to reject it. Some are fresh out of design school, others have been honing their vision for a few seasons now.
All of them offer compelling reasons to reconsider, or at least add something to, your personal style.
Last year saw the rise of a number of labels that have made their way into the spotlight and are expected to continue to build upon their success this year.
1. DNA by Iconic Invanity
DNA BY ICONIC INVANITY, a womenswear brand own by 19-year-old Destiny Nwadire, was one of the exciting stories of the Lagos Fashion and Design Week 2017 where the label had a stunning runway showcase for its SS18 collection featuring Afro Neo-Plasticism fringe gorgeousness. The brand’s collections display a penchant for simplicity, existing somewhere between high-end clothing and contemporary workwear. The fashion house is on an ascent to excellence.
2. Roksana
The ROKSANA brand which represents freshness and class was founded by Miedor Eporwei who started fashion professionally in February 2017. Her style is influenced by comfort, elegance and sophistication. To her credit are the spring/summer 17 collections “Classics” and the Spring/Summer 18 collection “Visual Engagement”.
As a lifestyle brand, ROKSANA’s focus is more than clothes; it looks to build a community out of the interests that have inspired the label.
3. Identity by Fifi
Abuja-based fashion brand IDENTITY BY FIFI was founded in 2016 by Ifeyinwa Okakwu. The brand has quickly grown through the internet and social media community. With collections deeply rooted in styles made up of romantic, soft and delicate pieces with a dash of drama and volume. Additionally, the brand hopes to help people express their identity through clothes. In 2018, its major focus is to create retail outlets both online and offline.
4. Carl Andrews
Long before designer Carl Eze the creative director of the CARL ANDREWS brand came to limelight through the Nigerian Student Fashion & Design Week, his outstanding designs were already being spotted and worn by trendsetters such as Tuface Idibia, Ycee, Maleek Berry and Falz. The urban fashion brand was founded in 2016. Carl’s style of fashion is unconventional, deviating from the norm with collections deeply rooted in the subcultures of today’s youth. His debut collection “Sanguine Path” represented positivity and a very strong optimism for the future of his fashion brand which was a collaborative effort. His most recent yet to be released collection “Black Excellence” creates interesting textures and cuts in ode to the caliginous mood of the city that schooled him.
5. Coz Designs
Oreoluwa Osoba founded COZ DESIGNS in the year 2015 and the brand’s utilitarian bags have been in production since then, but recently, Coz’s selection of unisex handbags have been spotted on some famous celebrities in Nigeria such as Peter Okoye, Patoranking, Reekado Banks, Korede Bello, Dj Jimmy Jatt, Annie Idibia, Adesua Etomi, to mention a few. The brand which stands for luxury, style and class is quickly gaining popularity on social media, thanks to its offhand and strategic approach to design and strategic marketing. Its first collection “Timeless” was a representation of fashion that will not be affected by the passage of time or changes in fashion while the second “New Religion” was a major breakthrough for the brand.
6. Him Signage
HYM SIGNAGE was launched into the Nigerian fashion industry in 2010. The brand represents the future of the industry with its major focus on Menswear. Aimed at producing quality and exclusive wears at a decent prize, Hym Signage creates staple cut-and-sew pieces that maintain minimalism, subtle tone and a comfortable fit. With four collections to its credit and the most recent “DEN-HYM” which got the brand the most creative Menswear brand award at the Nigerian Student Fashion & Design week 2017, we can categorically say that this is one fashion line to look out for in 2018.
7. Floycardigan Colltn
Floycardigan Colltn might be a new name in the fashion industry in Nigeria but with only two years under its belt, the brand has had an impressive growth. Specializing in understated, sophisticated pieces with a contemporary twist, the unisex knitwear brand comes in a wide range of patterns, textures and cuts that you won’t find anywhere else.
Founded by Veronica Omoniyi, its most recent collection “Will Power” was released in 2017, and was showcased at the South Africa Fashion Week and at the Lagos at 50 events. The brand, gearing towards more cohesive and expressive designs in 2018 is definitely one to look out for.
8. Green Kreations
GREEN KREATIONS is for all of the dreamers and visionaries of the never-ending hunt for a traditional and western mix, founded in 2015 by Aanu Adeoti, the brand represents uniqueness, handmade and industrial collections from creative directions by graphic designers, pattern makers and specialists. The brand focuses more on making Trads -an expression of African culture using its environment and surrounding culture as an inspiration.
9. Idiol Nupo
We have been in love with IDIOL NUPO since their quite frankly jaw dropping SS17 collection “Harriet” which was inspired by the creative director’s late mom. Their luxe, avant-garde, conceptual vision of womenswear not only looks great, but it’s produced with next-level fabrics that reflect beauty, class and style. Idiol Nupo has found fans in the likes of Toke Makinwa and Tallulah Doherty with gradually growing discerning retailers under its belt, too.
10. Apparels by Pearl
This Nigerian brand is further proof why Nigeria has a lot of hidden talents at the grass root, producing the most outstanding collection at the Nigerian Student Fashion & Design Week 2017 where they went away with the most creative designers’ award.
The brand takes an avant-garde approach to its style and concepts, crafting quality essentials with fabric from Africa, and the result is a diverse selection of every day ready to wear pieces with endless versatility. We can’t wait to see what this emerging brand has in store for us in 2018.
Apostle Johnson Suleman of the Omega Fire Ministries
has responded to insinuations that he paid Stephanie Otobo over her recent confession.
Stephanie Otobo on Saturday shocked Nigerians when she confessed that she was paid by politicians to blackmail Apostle Suleman
Her confession came months after she alleged that the pastor impregnated and abandoned her.
However, some Nigerians including, Daddy freeze quarried her confession hinting that she was paid
Reacting, Apostle Suleman said it’s risky as a man of God to pay for such, describing Otobo’s confession as ‘God at work.’
The clergyman wrote on his twitter handle, “Only a fool will pay a blackmailer to come out and say the truth.
“It’s risky to do that because she will use it against you tomorrow. This is God at work.”
Apostle Suleman told me to lie against the Government – Stephanie Otobo

Feb 2, 2018 10:29 AM
Well, to everyone who thought Stephanie Otobo’s confession last weekend at the Omega Fire Ministries (OFM) Worldwide was the end of the Otobo/Apostle Suleman saga – you were wrong!
In a pre-recorded video made public by Sahara Reporters on Tuesday, Stephanie Otobo is seen foretelling her confession.
In the video recorded in June 2017 but just made public today, Otobo said she was being pressured by Apostle Suleman to say the government was putting her up to make the allegations against him.
“He is telling me to come and make a video to lie that it’s the government of Nigeria that is putting me up to this,” she said in the video.
“I don’t know when you’ll be watching this but I’m just doing this video for the future. Today’s date is the 21st of June, 2017,” she said in the video.

A Hluhluwe man has said he will not be able to forgive the three (the third one held the camera) women who ra*ped him.
A video of the incident appeared on social media and has since gone viral.
The man, whose name is known to the Daily News, said he was at home when a woman whom he knows called him over, saying she needed help with an electrical problem at her home.
“I went into her house and when I got there, I saw another girl in the room. I did not pay any attention to her. Then another girl who was hiding behind the door closed it, that’s when I realised that something was wrong.”
He said after they closed the door behind him, they told him they wanted to sleep with him.
“I initially thought they were joking,” he said.
However, he soon realised they were serious when he was attacked. He said he tried to defend himself but his arm was weak since he had injured it in an accident years ago.
He said he was let go and he went home and took a shower. He said the incident had left him feeling confused.
“I told my older sister about what happened but she thought I was joking.”
It was only after a video appeared online that she took what he said seriously and encouraged him to go to the police. He said he feared going to the police because he thought they would not take him seriously.
“When I told them what happened they were shocked. The three women were arrested the same day I reported the matter.”
The alleged rap*ists were people he knew and grew up with in the area, he said.
“I’m very angry,” he said of the assault. One of the families of the alleged rap*ists went to the man’s home to try to make amends, he said.
“My brothers and sisters were not having any of it,” he said.
He was looking forward to the trial and wanted the women to be severely punished. “People like that should not be part of society.”
What made it more difficult to move on was that the video was on social media and people had come to ask him what happened.
“It is something I never thought would happen to me. There is not much I can do but try to move on.”
According to Reese Mann, executive director of the South African Male Survivors of Se*xual Abuse (Samssa), one out of six males before the age of 18 were se*xually abused.
Mann said 19.3% of all se*xual violations reported to police involved male victims.
“Male victims of se*xual abuse are less likely than their female counterparts to report incidents of se*xual abuse, because police and the judiciary don’t take it seriously,” Mann said.
Mann said a widely held myth was that if males got an erection and/or, ejaculated during the se*xual abuse, they must have enjoyed it.
“A man being ra*ped can still get an erection because it is in the physiological make-up of males that if they are caressed long enough they end up getting an erec)tion,” said Mann.
He said there was also the myth that men should be capable of protecting themselves against se*xual abuse.
“There are three stages that any victim of se*xual abuse goes through, and they are called the three Fs.
“They can fight back, they can flee or they are just overcome by fear and the force exerted by the perpetrator, in which case they just freeze,” said Mann.
Police spokesman, Lieutenant-Colonel Thulani Zwane, confirmed the incident and said the women had appeared in the Hluhluwe Magistrate’s Court last Thursday and were expected to appear again on Tuesday for a bail application.
He said they were being held in custody.
Pep Guardiola refuted Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho’s suggestion that the title race is over.
Manchester City are 15 points clear at the top of the Premier League and Mourinho claimed United are playing to be crowned best of the rest.
But Guardiola laughed that off – detailing City’s tricky games over the next three months.
‘There are 13 games, 39 points to play for. It’s not over,’ Guardiola said. ‘We’ve amazingly tough games to play.
‘Saturday for example: Burnley is complicated - nobody can deny that. We’e got Stoke, Tottenham, Arsenal, United, Everton, Chelsea. It’s definitely not over.’
Guardiola, not interested in revisiting the topic of heavy challenges, also confirmed that Benjamin Mendy should be back in March after rupturing his cruciate earlier in the term.
Mendy is in New York this week and Guardiola added: ‘He’s much, much better. He’s in the States.
‘It’s been three or four months and I think in March he may be available. He’ll start to train with us.’
David Silva is a doubt for the trip to Burnley and Guardiola is wary of the threat Sean Dyche’s side pose.
‘We made a good performance in the FA Cup but it’s completely different at the Etihad,’ he said. ‘It was one of the toughest games last season. It will be tough.
‘We have to control the second balls, long balls – Vokes, Barnes – and they are the masters with the way they play that system. The corners, they are so good. We have to avoid this as much as impossible. It’s another step to the title.'
