Veteran Comedian, Baba Suwe, Is Dying! *abandoned by colleagues

Inside sources told The Status that since his celebrated arrest and humiliation for alleged drug smuggling by the NDLEA, Babatunde Omidina a.k.a. Baba Suwe, has never remained his lively self.
He's down with an unknown sickness, claimed sources.
The star humorist, The Status gathered,

went down physically, financially and professionally, no thanks to his colleagues and close allies in the theatre business who have shown lack of interest in his case since 2016 when he literally disappeared from the social radar.
A younger artiste, Yomi Fabiyi, it was who brought Baba Suwe’s case to the public knowledge three years ago. Whilst he appealed to the public and colleagues to help him back on his health, Fabiyi added that the veteran comic star was down financially too and needed funds to return to life, literally.
Once the toast of most Nigerian families for his creative humour on TVs and later home videos, Baba Suwe, weighed down by the psychological trauma borne out of the public opprobrium experienced in the wake of his time with NDLEA, soon fell ill after his arrest and has yet to recover.
Baba Suwe’s actress wife and confidant, Omoladun, died in 2009. Those in the know say that that was the real genesis of Baba Suwe’s fast descent into social and professional worthlessness.
A Lagos based seasoned radio broadcaster (who pleaded anonymity) during the investigation, informed The Status that no one among Baba Suwe’s friends and professional colleagues was willing to help solve his challenge.
Prodded to expatiate, the radio man who claimed he had personally called out such big names like Oga Bello, Jide Kosoko, Dele Odule, Mr. Latin and others on the comedian’s present sorry state, stated that he felt they were running away from Baba Suwe not because he was not good to them but because they are selfish in nature.
"Baba Suwe is a good man. None of his people can say he is bad. And they are not helping him not because he behaved badly to them. They are not helping him because they care only about their family. That’s the nature of our actors, there is no exception. Imagine the caliber of people I told you
I had spoken to about Baba Suwe’s case, yet none looks his way yet.
But if, God forbid, he dies from the problem, they would be all over the place eulogising his qualities which they helped killed by their lack of empathy," the broadcaster notes.
Attempts by The Status to speak with any of the names mentioned were futile as their phones were either unavailable or went unanswered. The current location of Baba Suwe was also not known as he was said to have been moved from his once bustling Ebute Metta, Lagos office.

"Jumia Food MD, Guy Futi, Not Arrested" ...management

A story making the rounds that the managing director of Jumia Food, Mr Guy Futi, was arrested has been debunked by the management. The management of Jade Internet Services, owners of Jumia Food said in the statement signed by Mr. Seyi Oni,  its chief legal officer, Jumia Food stated that Mr Futi was never arrested by the police for fraud and conversion of company’s funds for personal use, as reported.

Below is the statement;


“The current Managing Director of Jumia Food Nigeria, Mr Guy Futi neither misappropriated the company’s funds nor converted them for personal use. If this had happened, Jumia would have taken legal action against him, and probably involved the press. He was never involved in any fraudulent act. Mr Futi was invited for questioning by the Nigerian Police Force on Thursday, January 31st, 2019 in relation to an ongoing case of fraud filed by Jumia Food against one of its vendors, Castle Logistics Services.
Mr Futi was never detained by the police. He was invited for questioning and left the station after the interrogation same day. At the time the incident for which Jumia took legal action against Castle Logistics occurred, Mr Futi had not joined the company.

The allegation of fraud by Castle Logistics is thus a malicious attempt to distract Jumia Food from carrying out legal action against the company.”

Apostle Suleman’s Ministry Clocks 15, Hosts ‘The Ebenezer 2019’



It is another moment of unusual grace at the popular Auchi, Edo State, Nigeria based church of God, the Omega Fire Ministries (OFM) as great testimonies have been pouring in during the church’s New Year edition of its annual life-restoring programme.

This year’s edition tagged ‘The Ebenezer 2019’, it was gathered, was started on Wednesday 6th of February and will span four days, climaxing with a special service on Sunday 10th of February, 2019, to mark the ministry’s 15th anniversary.

The yearly ‘The Ebenezer’, powered by Apostle Johnson Suleman and his wife, Dr. Lizzy Suleman, is normally attended by people from over 20 nations of the world, as OFM, founded in 2004 and now with branches in about 55 countries, is ranked among the fastest growing God’s ministries in the world.

The three days preceding the ‘Anniversary Day’, will be characterized by ministering with Words of God and healing based on OFM’s ideology as a church inspired to bring the joy of salvation to humanity. As the programme enters its second day on Thursday, some spectacular wonders were recorded; afflictions were cured and people restored to their natural destinies.

As the programme advances to Sunday when the anniversary’s big cake is expected to be cut amidst giving charity and empowering church members and foreigners by Apostle and Reverend (Mrs.) Lizzy Suleman, Auchi has remained on standstill with the influx of participants to the international headquarters of OFM as they crave for blessings from the divinely anointed couple.

Lagos Lawmaker, Desmond Elliot, Celebrates B'Day, Empowers Constituents



Nollywood star cum politician, Desmond Elliot is a year older today, February 3rd, 2019 and in the spirit of celebration,  the lawmaker who's a core grassroot man used the opportunity to reach out to his own.

The rendezvous was the popular Paddington Field behind Stadium hotel, Surulere where the honourable member of the Lagos State House of Assembly hosted his constituency's grassroot politicians.

According to him,  the choice to celebrate with my people is just a way of thanking them for the undying support and encourage them to look forward to greater things yet to come.

The occasion was thrown open with special prayers for the celebrant followed by introduction of special guests present including the beloved mother of the celebrant who flew in all the way from Atlanta to celebrate with her darling son who's been making her proud.

There's no doubting the fact that Hon. Desmond is a man of the people as his guests practically turned the celebration to a campaign ground of sort drumming their support for a second term for the host of honour.

People from various fields of human endeavour including the locals stormed the occasion with great  excitement.Top personalities such as the local government chairman of Surulere, Hon. Tajudeen, actress Dayo Amusa and many others were all present.

To win hearts is an art. It is an art not everyone can perform, It really takes a lot of training and a bit of humility sometimea, Hon. Desmond Elliot must have possessed all these as he has effortlessly won the hearts of many who relentlessly vouch their support for his continuity in the House of Assembly as their representative.

The talented actor cum politician used this great occasion to give out assortment of expensive  gifts to politicians in his constituency commending their hard work and input in pushing Surulere forward.

 He gave out sewing machines, grinding mills, deep freezers, generators, digital cameras, ludo games,  sewing machines,  iPhones, volcanising machines, chairs, tables, just to name but a few.

While speaking to Enquirermag, the lawmaker said he decided to celebrate his birthday with his people as a way of making them partake in his blessings because God has blessed him.

He also went on to say his greatest wish on this beautiful born-date of his is that God should continue to bless his mother with long life and health so she can live to see her beloved son grow old gloriously.

To whom much is given like they say,  much is expected, the people of Surulere who're definitely proud of their choice and ready to see him through his second term also reciprocated the gesture by showering  him with gifts and dance presentations.

Support groups such as Little City G12, CWC Women, the Keggites and many others expressed their joy of being part and parcel of this great man's birthday and according to them they will always stand by the Hon. Desmond Elliot because he stands by what is right.

There were lots of drinks and assorted meals to savour at the event and everyone definitely went home feeling overfed

It is worth reiterating just how far the ambitious Hon. Desmond can go just to make the people he serves happy.

It was such a sweet  and unique  birthday celebration that whosoever  present  will no doubt leave to remember.

How Prophet Akinbodunse Foretold Shepherd Bushiri, Wife's Arrest


News making rounds has it that popular prophet, Shepherd Bushiri and his wife have been arrested for fraud and money laundering today, Friday, 1st of February 2019.

The Enlightened Christian Gathering Church leader Shepherd Bushiri and his wife was arrested on fraud and money laundering charges involving more than R15m.

The Hawks confirmed the arrest on Friday, but did not name the couple. The church, however, issued a statement confirming that Bushiri and his wife, Mary, were taken into custody on fraud and money laundering charges.

Brigadier Hangwani Mulaudzi said on Friday that the arrest took place at a “lavish hotel in Rustenburg”.

“The Hawks’ case against the pair concerns alleged offences of fraud, money laundering and contravention of the Prevention of Organised Crime Act (POCA). The crimes were committed from 2015 in relation to Exchange Control Regulations related to foreign currency in an amount of $1,147,200 (about R15.3m).

“The couple who run several business enterprises in South Africa and abroad are expected to appear before the Pretoria Commercial Crime Court on Monday,” he said.

The church statement said that, at about 7am on Friday, armed members of the police stormed the Sparkling Waters Hotel in Rustenburg.

“We were later made aware that they were members of the Hawks. They took the prophet and our mother, Prophetess Mary Bushiri, in handcuffs to Pretoria,” the statement said.

“As you will remember, from last year, we have struggled with reports that our father [Bushiri] was guilty. He has been detained and is being questioned by the Hawks in Silverton, Pretoria.

It will be recalled that the general overseer of Freedom for All Nations Outreach (FANO), Prophet Samuel Akinbodunse had earlier predicted that there will be a lot of trouble for fake ministries in 2019 during his 2019 prophecies.

In his words
“The Lord said to me more than 9 times that in 2019, he will open judgement on fake ministries, pastors, preachers of the world, starting from January."
