Photos: BankyW confirms a fire incident occurred at his Lekki home, narrates what happened

In the early hours of today, there was a fire incident at BankyW's home in Lekki Phase 1, Lagos (See here here). The singer has now revealed all that went down. In a post made via his Instagram page just now, he wrote,

So there's good news and bad news. The good news is... I'm thanking God that I'm alive to give the bad news as a testimony. Bad news is...

I was laying awake in bed at about 6am , and I just started smelling smoke. Stood up to shut off my tv and ac and realized it was coming from outside my door. Opened it to see the whole stairway was filled with huge gusts of black smoke/soot, and a fire was burning stuff downstairs. The smoke was so much I couldn't get down past it to see the source of the flames. Rushed back into my room and climbed down from the 2nd floor balcony with my dog... and then got help from the amazing workers and neighbours who helped me put out the flames.

Turns out the ac in the living room had caught fire.. I know a lot of ppl have been trying to call and I appreciate it. Maybe the fire burnt some of the network in the house because I can't receive calls LOL 😂, but instead of calling to say sorry pls just maybe say a prayer and thank God with me.

Thank God I was awake to smell the smoke. Thank God we caught it early enough and the damage wasn't so bad.. it basically burnt some of the stuff that was around it. So awards, portraits, and some small electronics. But thank God, Duke and I are alive and well. We only had to form James Bond and climb down from the top floor balcony LOL 😂😁 Thank God for my neighbors and the amazing workers in and around the compound for helping us escape via the balcony, helping put out the fire, and helping with the aftermath/cleaning.

Thank God for life. And I'm not even upset.. I'm just grateful for life and health and for the grace and mercy of God on my life. I figure I'm about to have the best year ever so the devil tried to throw a tantrum. But not today Satan. Not today, not ever. Now sit back and watch me be great. By God's grace. Amen. God bless you all.

Presidential aide, Lauretta Onochie, comes for Dele Momodu over his article comparing Pres Buhari and Osinbajo's leadership style

Media personality, Dele Momodu, two days ago published an article titled "Before President Buhari Returns Home". In the article, Momodu compared the leadership style of President Buhari and his Vice, Yemi Osinbajo who has been acting President for over a month now. Momodu in the article, credited Osinbajo for doing most of the things many Nigerians had wanted President Buhari to do in the last two years. Presidential aide, Lauretta Onochie, who read the article, felt there is no basis for comparing both men as they came into office on a joint ticket. She berated Momodu for making such comparison, adding that with a mindset like this, it is sad that Momodu is clever by a half. Read more of her tweets after the cut.

Bola Tinubu says he cannot rule out the possibility of ruling Nigeria

Bola Tinubu says he cannot rule out the possibility of ruling Nigeria

In an exclusive chat with Sahara Reporters, National Leader of APC, Bola Tinubu, says he cannot rule out the possibility of him ruling Nigeria. Speaking at the inauguration ceremony of Ondo state governor, Rotimi Akeredolu last Friday, Tinubu said:

“You see there is nothing wrong with such ambition. It depends on the timing and the environment and what political leadership dictates. I will not brush aside such an aspiration. It has been historical even that Buhari tried first, second, third, and forth before he got it. Resilience, determination, and clarity of purpose. Maybe as a senator, maybe as a president, you cannot rule it out. How can I rule such a thing out, the opportunity to service my country but you only do that when there is a vacancy”.
