Every Woman's Dream:Cost Of Wedding Dresses In The Uk

The Big Day
In the Uk and Europe, the average costs of a wedding dress is estimated to be over £1,000 while the hosting of a wedding cost relatively £20,000. thats a huge some of money if that is converted to Naira. The truth is, Recession seems not to influence wedding negatively because most brides and grooms want that day to be a memorable day no matter the price it may cost.
In Africa and Nigeria most expecially, wedding is very significant to many and most societal big men make sure their son's and daughter's have the best of the day. The ordinary man can spend like 30 to 50,000 Naira on a wedding dress, while the Rich will lavish 200 to 300,000 Naira on a wedding dress.
The word wedding has alot of stuff attach to itself, like retailers, caterers, cake makers, florists etc. with this, it is very easy to see where all the cost price of hosting a wedding comes from.

Brides Magazine has calculated that the average cost of a wedding dress is now over £1,000, with the photographs and video footage coming in at close to £2,000 and even the florist cooking up a cost of between £300 and £400 on average.  Don’t forget the venue, the catering, the honeymoon, the thank you gifts for the wedding party and it soon adds up.

But there’s really no sane reason why something for a wedding should cost four times the price on any other occasion.
 Is there any reason why the cost of a wedding will be far more higher than any other occasion?
Nollyjist News need your comment. thank you.

Ruggedman Speaks on controversial Rick Ross”Hold Me Back” Video

Click for Full Image Size
I will start by saying that some people in the international community already have a bad image about Nigeria. This is due to the dubious actions of some bad Nigerians they have encountered, both government officials and normal Nigerians. So I don’t see how one music video shot in the Nigerian slums (which we know we have) will tarnish the image of Nigeria.
When Nigerians go abroad,we snap pictures and make videos all over train stations, car parks, airports. We “choose” where we want to do this. This is the same way Rick Ross decided to shoot his Naija version of his song “Hold Me Back” in Naija ghetto areas. If you check his other version shot in America u will see that it was also in the hood; not as grimmy as ours but still the hood and I don’t hear any American saying he is portraying the slums and poverty in America to the international community.

Rick Ross did not sneak into Nigeria. He came in legally. If he showed anything in the video that some Nigerians find offensive, my question is “why was he allowed to shoot it in the 1st place?”

Someone on the internet said, after this video, no one will like to visit Nigeria. I just laughed. Is this video as bad as the Ogoni 9 killing? Is this video as bad as people being killed in the Northern crisis? But it hasn’t stopped foreigners coming to this country. During the Dana Air crash, local stations were going about their normal business but international news was already covering it. If we cared so much about our image to the international community what are we doing to clean it up?

It’s Nigerians in foreign countries that should check how they act. Once outside Nigeria, you become a Nigerian ambassador and should act like one. If you steal, you are a thief and you paint a bad picture of your country. We really need to get our priorities right. We need to find a way to make our leaders stop embezzling the Nation’s money right under our noses, calling us fools and bullying us.

Now take the situation of the masses in Nigeria e.g no light, education, shelter, good roads, medical care, security and put it beside the Rick Ross video then tell me which is more important to worry about. God bless and save Nigeria, God bless us all in Jesus name. I am a proud Abia man, I am proudly Nigerian and I am Ruggedman.

Boko Haram politically-motivated – Oritsejafor

Boko Haram politically-motivated – OritsejaforFrom JUDEX OKORO, Calabar
The President of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Bishop Ayo Oritsejafor, has again stated that Boko Haram Islamist sect was created and sponsored by political failures looking for political space in 2015. Oritsejafor maintained that since they realised they had failed to achieve their ulterior motive through the ballot box they decided to vent their anger on Nigerians by seeking to divide Nigeria along religious lines.
“Boko Haram is fueled by extreme religious ideology and not poverty because they have not come out to tell us that they are killing people because they are poor,” he said. The CAN president, who stated this yesterday while speaking at the opening ceremony of a six-day meeting of the Niger Delta Christian Leaders Forum holding in Christian Central Chapel International (CCCI), Calabar, Cross River State capital, said the claim that Boko Haram was a creation of poverty was a lie.
He said “those sponsoring the organisation or its apologists are just misleading Nigerians and the world by saying that Boko Haram members are poor people. The leaders of Boko Harm are from very wealthy family and background and even that young man who wanted to blow up an American airline, his father is a retired permanent secretary and one of the richest men in Nigeria.”
According to the CAN president, “the sponsors of Boko Hram have control of a section of the media through which they feed the public with what he calls half truths.” On the allegations that he is a fundamentalist and partisan leader, the number one Christian said, “it is really misleading and unfortunate because I have never shot a gun before neither have killed anybody before; I have never encouraged anybody to kill anybody before. But what I do is to identify the truth and respond to it because I am not afraid of trouble.”
He said “many people are afraid of trouble that is why they cannot achieve greatness nor speak out when necessary but we have to face up to the reality because the Niger Delta region is a great region on whose pedestal Nigeria is standing to lay claim to greatness.”
The cleric, who spoke in an angry tone stated that, “Niger Delta is a region of great people yet we are poor; the Niger Delta is very small and powerful yet we are weak. This is time for exchange as all those things that have eluded us shall be reclaimed.” In his welcome address, the president and founder of CCCI, Calabar, Bishop Emmah Gospel Isong, said this was the time for all Christians to wake up from slumber and fight terrorism in Nigeria as it was capable of tearing the nation apart.
The PFN chairman, Cross River State, however, called on Nigerians to reject any move by disgruntled persons to cause disharmony among Christians at this auspicious time of national revivals.

158 Boko Haram suspects arrested in Adamawa

158 Boko Haram suspects arrested in Adamawa
A special joint task force of security operatives, comprising men of the State Security Services (SSS) the Police and the Armed Forces, codenamed, “Operation Restore Sanity” on Monday, unraveled the mystery of Boko Haram operations in Mubi, Adamawa State, as no fewer than 158 persons have been arrested with sophisticated weapons . Security agent s also discovered a factory alleged to be manufacturing ammunition, guns and Improvised Explosive Devices (IED), daggers, bows and arrows, AK 47 rifles, gun smokers and dane guns and were recovered by Operation Restore Sanity.
The factory, located at the Shagari Low Cost Housing Estate, in Yelwa Ward, Mubi was discovered, while the security operatives embarked on house-to-house search for culprits and suspects of the Boko Haram Islamist sect, following a dusk-to-dawn curfew imposed on Mubi Metropolis and its environs.
The Brigade Commander, of the 23rd Armoured Brigade, Brigadier- General, John Nwoaga, who conducted newsmen to the housing estate told journalists that the 158 suspects were arrested during the search and some of them were apparently responsible for the vandalization of Airtel, MTN, and Globacom network masts in the metropolis. According to him, the operation is ongoing and it is a sweeping exercise, as more suspects would be arrested, while innocent folks would be released to their families. General Nwoaga, also told journalists at the Army Base in Mubi, where the suspects are detained that six females and five children were among the 158 suspects already detained by the Operation Restore Sanity.
He said that the safety of the law abiding citizens in the area was important to the security agencies and enjoined royal fathers in the state to cooperate with the Operation Restore Sanity agents assignment as security agents were poised to fish out the culprits of security breaches in Mubi and the entire state. General Nwoaga charged the royal fathers not to show lukewarm attitude to the assignment, as useful information were required from them as people closest to their respective communities and should give useful information to them for the success of the operation.
The intelligence reports from the Royal Fathers, will go a long way to successful arrest of the suspects who will be interrogated, and those found to be innocent would be let free. Meanwhile, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), has commiserated with the families of victims of Sunday’s bomb blast in Bauchi, Bauchi State.
CAN in a statement signed by special Assistant to the association’s President, Mr. Kenny Ashaka in Abuja, said it received with shock, the bomb explosion at the St. John’s Catholic Cathedral in Bauchi which killed four people when an explosives-packed car reportedly rammed into the line of worshippers waiting to be screened before entering the church. “According to reports, the suicide bomber died while no fewer than 48 worshippers sustained various degrees of injuries. “CAN commiserates with the families of victims of the bomb explosion, the leadership of the Church in Bauchi State and the Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria (CSN) over this dastardly act. “It prays that the Almighty God will continue to defend His Church, people and multiply the lots of Christianity in Nigeria.
“CAN notes that the re-launching of violence against christians and their churches at a time when many Nigerians felt such insurgency had ebbed is instructive,” the statement made available to Daily Sun in Abuja by the Special Assistant to the CAN President on Media, Mr. Kenny Ashaka, said. The statement further read: “Coming on the heels of last week’s attack in Bauchi where some gunmen killed nine christians and injured five, CAN condemns these deadly attacks. “We blame these attacks targeted at christians in Bauchi, on the shadowy aloofness of the state government which has failed to take precautionary measures and compliment the efforts of Christians in the state.”
“As it is, the state government seems to be unfazed by the calamities happening to christians. It is sad that after several attacks on christians in the state, we are still unable to put our fingers on the government’s ability to secure the lives, property of christians and their churches. “While CAN believes that christians and well-meaning Muslims should continue to work together for the attainment of peace in the land, it is convinced that muslim leaders in the north can end this orgy of violence and blood-letting by fishing out elements in their midst whose intention is to give their religion a bad name.
“From what we see, these planned attacks on christians, churches, Islamic clerics and traditional rulers who are not in support of their nefarious activities, government institutions and properties of privately-run business concerns, the economy of the region may be plundered beyond redemption,” CAN noted.

My Hubby Wasn't Sack From Air Nigeria, We Are Living Fine--Omotola Reply Critics

Click for Full Image Size
Last week, the media was awashed with the news that Nollywood star actress, Omotola Ekeinde Jalade's hubby, Capt. Mathew Ekeinde was sacked from Jimoh Ibrahim's Air Nigeria, where Mathew was a pilot until recently.
 The reports claimed that Omotola's husband was among worker of the airline suspended by Jimoh Ibrahim over an alleged disloyalty to the company.

Disturbed by the news, Omosexy, as Omotola is fondly called by her teeming fans, took to twitter to debunk the news story.

The sexy mother of four asked her critics, "can the 'intelligent' people spreading this rumours kindly publish this sack letter please? Smh! Come-hard-or-go-home.

"To my fans who've been worried and sending countless messages,THANKS. You're the reason I even respond. Nothing to worry about. I and my family are fine."


Omotola is no doubt one of the best actresses in the motion pictures in Nigeria. Her husband is also a brilliant pilot, according to those who know him too well. Both have been married for over 15 years.

Omotola’s Hubby, Capt. Matthew Sacked From Air Nigeria

Click for Full Image Size 
The husband of one of Nigeria’s hottest and most beautiful actresses, Omotola Jalade- Ekehinde, Captain Matthew Ekehinde has been thrown into the labour market.

Captain Matthew was among the 800 staffers relieved of their duties by the CEO of Air Nigeria, Barrister Jimoh Ibrahim few weeks ago over what he called disloyal and lack of commitment to the company.

However, we gathered that the father of four is seriously searching for a new job as at the time we are filing this report.

It is still sketchy where the light skinned pilot will be heading to, but an insider squealed that he is working so hard to get a new job at the troubled Arik Airline or better still, a very reliable foreign carrier that is ready to agree to his terms and conditions.

A call and text message put through to his wife over his husband’s current state is yet to be replied.

Captain Matthew, according to some of his friends is very diligent and committed to his work, but has been very unlucky with most of the airlines he had worked with.

It would be recalled the pilot had worked with the defunct airlines; Skyline and Sosoliso before joining Air Nigeria few years ago.

Iheanacho, ex-minister of interior, arrested

Iheanacho, ex-minister, arrested

The Nations Maritime Administration and Safety Agency also known as NIMASA has arrested a former the big boss of Integrated Oil and Gas Limited, captain Emmanuel Iheanacho who was former minister of Interior over alleged stealing of petroleum products.
During investigation by the National Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, some stolen petroleum products and a hijacked vessel were said to have been traced to the premises of his company, Integrated Oil and Gas Limited, in Apapa, Lagos.
The stolen products were alleged to have been hijacked from a vessel by some pirates who were arrested and quizzed last Tuesday at NIMASA Resource Centre, Kirikiri.
NIMASA also impounded a vessel, M.T Ejenavi, that was alleged to have been used to hijack the products before they were ferried and sold to ready buyers.
One of the alleged masterminds of the gang, Nicholas Okotie, was paraded before the press as the owner of the vessel.
Briefing newsmen yesterday, the Executive Director, Maritime Labour and Cabotage Services, NIMASA, Barrister Callistus Nwabueze, said that the arrest of Iheanacho is not unconnected with the previous arrest of the suspected pirates, adding that NIMASA had made it clear that it was looking for kingpins behind the hijacks and oil theft going on on the nation’s waterways.
Nwabueze said that it was in the course of further investigations that the agency discovered that the stolen oil and the vessel that was recently hijacked off Cotonou were kept at integrated Oil and Gas premises.
He vowed that the agency will leave no stone unturned to unmask those behind vessel hijacks in Nigerian waterways, stressing that anybody found aiding and abetting the cartel will also be arrested and handed over to security agencies for prosecution.
The ex minister was still being interrogated by NIMASA Guard command. However, the guard command, Captain Promise Dappa, made it clear that the perpetrator involves some highly placed individual and that the chain is long which is believed to be international linked.
When contacted earlier before his arrest, Captain Iheanacho had told Saturday Sun that the entire development borders on a smear campaign by some people to destroy him and take over his business.
He said that he did not buy or sell any stolen product.
The former minister, however, noted that those that have issues with security agencies concerning stolen petroleum products only used his company’s facility for storage.
Last Tuesday, a joint operation by the managements of NIMASA and Global West Vessels Specialists (GWVS) had led to the interception of a vessel, M .T. Grace, laden with suspected stolen refined petroleum products.
