On the show, the singer spoke on gender discrimination in the society. She said: It’s real. I’m not going to say I’m completely comfortable with it but it is what it is.  You have to deal with it. If it means you have to work 10 times harder than your male counterparts, don’t complain about it, do what you have to do. We all celebrate people like Oprah and Mo Abudu and we don’t actually realise what they have to do to get to that point.  They probably had to do 20 times (more) than their male counterparts. Once you get there, you don’t complain about how you get there. So, whatever it is you have to do as a female, you just have to get it done. I know I’ll (ruffle) a few feathers but I also don’t think men and women are equal. I don’t think that’s how God created us… especially in the household anyway.  So I think as females… yeah we can be strong in our career, but when we are home we have to realise that the man is the head of the house.” She also had other thi...

Our sources say his team tried to have him discharged late Sunday afternoon so he could make it to his Vegas show.

Wayne is supposed to perform at Drais Beachclub in Vegas at midnight alongside Rae Sremmurd, although it’s unclear if he’s still planning to show as of this writing.

  Prof. Isaac Folorunso Adewole, the Minister of Health has assured Nigerians and the international community that there is no cause for concern over President Muhammadu Buhari’s health.     He also said that the president could not be treated in Nigeria because of the long existing bond between him and his foreign doctors, saying health was a complex issue. “One thing we must realise is that health is a complex issue. There’s what we call patient-doctor relationship; there is also a bond between the patient and the doctor and these are things we can’t play with,” the minister said in an exclusive interview with THISDAY in Abuja. Adewole, who is a professor of surgery, added: “I used to have patients in Ibadan and they still call me, and say ‘we will like to see you’. Then I have to say no to them because I’m no longer available and ask, ‘why can’t you see somebody else?’ But many of them are reluctant to do so. That’s the complex thing about health.

Abuja-based prophet, Wisdom Nnamdi Ezeigwe, popularly known as “Ojenanmuo” ask President Muhammadu Buhari to return to Nigeria immediately and seek spiritual solution. Ojenanmuo said Buhari’s frequent trip overseas would not solve his health problems. He warned that Buhari risks consumption of more chemicals that may worsen his situation. His word: “I sincerely empathize with our dear president but as a prophet of the most high God, my advice to Mr President is for him to come back home and seek spiritual help. “You cannot have, in your backyard, all these people operating on a higher spiritual level and then you are going abroad to seek medical assistance. “What the president needs to get better is within the country and this is a spiritual matter, not medical. “Mr President’s sojourn in foreign countries for medical help is not the solution, rather he should look inwards and seek the face of God through the assistance of spiritual physicians who are in abunda...
