  • Adekunle Gold in tears as dad becomes Permanent secretary

    Afro-fusion artiste, Adekunle Gold is a happy man at the moment. The ‘Orente’ crooner took to his Instagram page to reveal that his dad, Mr Kosoko has been made a permanent secretary in the education sector.

    The singer shared a photo of his dad and the current Governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode.

    Adekunle stated that his father is an epitome of dedication and probity, adding that his dad worked so hard for too little.

    In his words:” Growing up, I watched my dad worked so hard for too little. Teachers weren’t big earners. But my dad, with the help of my mum, provided everything all 4 of us needed – maybe not wanted, but definitely needed.
    I remember when my dad went to Uniben for his first degree. My sisters and I were very young, and communication with him was pretty much impossible, because it was before the era of cellphones. We only saw him when he had school breaks.

    He finished as the best in his class with a distinction in Fine Arts, Painting & Graphics Major. He was part of the team that co-wrote the module for teachers at one time. Everyday, after his primary assignment as a Fine Arts teacher in Keke High School, he would go to Teachers’ College to teach other teachers.

    He was willing to do whatever it would take to make extra money to fend for us and build a house for us to live in. I almost forgot – he is a published writer. Brilliant Man!

    My dad didn’t literally sit me down to teach me great values and diligence. Luckily, he didn’t have to, because I saw it in him everyday.
    He has given so much of himself, and truly values the opportunity to be serving the government and every school he’s worked at as either teacher, VP or principal. He’s won about 30 awards for his selfless service to the state.My Dad. A Man!

    A man that refuses to cut corners, believes in hard work and is known for his integrity. He always said to me; “Your name is precious, you must protect it!”
    Hard as it might be to believe, I can honestly say I’ve never seen him disobey traffic rules or give bribe.
    When other principals allowed people use their schools for special centres,
    my dad said no. He said – “I have been in service for far too long to let quick money ruin my reputation.” His dream has always been to become a Permanent Secretary of Lagos state. It was his dream, it was also mine for him.
    In this moment, this 56 year old brilliant man’s dream is now his reality. Today, I sat in the audience, and I listened as they read out loud, his achievements. I watched as he was sworn in as a Tutor General/Permanent Secretary for Education.

    So I cried today, but they were happy tears”.

  • We killed our dad for sexually abusing us, teenage girls tell police

    Three Russian teenagers, who allegedly murdered their father have revealed the reason behind their action.

    According to Mirror UK, the teenagers, Kristina, 19, Angelina, 18 and Maria, 17, confessed to jointly killing their heroine-addict father, Mikhail Khachaturyan, claiming they suffered years of appalling sexual, physical and emotional abuse.

    Kristina told police: “We hated him and we wanted just one thing to happen – either that he disappeared or that we never knew him.

    “We wanted him just to go away and never come back.”

    The sisters alleged that on the day of the attack he had threatened them with a knife in their flat near the Altufievskoe highway in Moscow.

    One of the sisters had grabbed the knife and stabbed him, and the others joined in the attack, say reports.

    The man tried to escape the flat but was attacked more and died near the elevator.

    Friends and neighbours claimed the father was tyrannical and that his wife — the girls’ mother — left him because of his abuse, while a son, now a student at Moscow University, had been “thrown out” of the home by the father.

    Sergei, their brother, reported to be 21, was quoted as saying: “My sisters just could not have done it.

    “I don’t know what happened. I don’t know who to believe. I have not lived there since I was 16.

    “He forced our mother to leave too but I do not know what for. He wanted me to grow up a strong man.

    “If he beat anyone it does not mean he was a bad person.”

    In the dead man’s Audi Q7 car police reportedly found two kilograms of heroin along with his arsenal of a pneumatic rifle, a smooth bore rifle, three pneumatic handguns, a signal gun, and a gas gun.

    The three sisters have been charged with murder leading to a maximum penalty of 10 to 15 years in jail.

    Tokunbo Idowu a.k.a TBoss who shot to stardom after participating in the 2017 edition of BBNaija, has slammed fans who condemned her and her siblings for not supporting their father getting married again.

     

    Social media was on Monday awash with reports that Engr. Vincent Idowu(TBoss’ father), a Civil Engineering lecturer at Ambrose Ali University, married a 400 level student of the school.

     

    There has also been an unconfirmed statement linked to TBoss’ dad where he was quoted as saying he won’t bless any of his children’s marriage.

    He was quoted to have said: “When destiny smiles on someone, he forgets that there is life elsewhere. If I look like a roasted goat on my wedding day, that’s cool but that writer will soon become a resident of a subcity where people with severed limbs, broken bones, amputations, stinking blind and lame reside. THIS IS A PROMISE.

    I live a humble, private life and did not intimate TBoss or any of her siblings of my plan to remarry in accordance with my tradition/custom. Furthermore, I did not make public or post anything about my marriage.

    I am starting a new beginning and clearing the slate of all the wrong decisions I made in my life. I just want to forget Tokunbo (TBoss) and her siblings and start life afresh for all its worth. If and wherever Tboss and any of her siblings gets married, it shall be without my blessings and woe unto the man or the woman who marries any of them. So shall it be by the power vested on me by God Almighty”.

     

    In the same vein, TBoss took to her Instagram page throwing purported shades at her dad.
