How MC Oluomo was stabbed – K1 publicist
The Publicist of Fuji maestro, Wasiu Ayinde Anifowoshe, Kunle Rasheed has narrated the events that led to the stabbing of National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) Lagos State Treasurer Musiliu Akinsanya (a.k.a MC Oluomo) during the rally of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the Skypower Grounds, Ikeja Government Reservation Area (GRA) last Tuesday.
According to him, the crisis, which was purely union matter, started between NURTW State Auditor Adekunle Mustapha (Sego) and Idumota Chairman Azeez Lawal (a.k.a Kunle Poly) on K1’s stage.
He said: “Both of them (Mustapha and Lawal) had issues on K1’s stage and K1 waded into the matter. At a point, Mustapha left the stage. Not quite long. MC Oluomo came on stage and exchanged greetings with K1, NURTW State Chairman, Tajudeen Agbede. As at that time, the boys of Sego and Kunle Poly had started fighting on the ground. So, it was not safe for MC Oluomo to leave the stage until one of Kunle Poly’s boys came on stage and threatening to kill MC Oluomo with a dagger. Agbede slapped him three times and chased him away. K1 also joined him to chase him away from the stage. He later returned to the stage and stabbed MC Oluomo and one Abija. That was how it happened.”
According to him, if not for K1, the crisis would have been bigger than that as he repeatedly talking to both warring parties to douse the tension.
“I was on the stage with them. I was there all through. K1 tried his best to resolve the crisis between the NURTW leaders over the State Chairmanship tussle even before that rally. People should stop accusing K1 of not doing enough to resolve their crisis,” he said.
Rasheed denied that the musician abuse Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, which some said led the supporters of the governor to start the crisis.
According to him, the track people were referring to has nothing to do with Ambode.
“If you check the new album he made for (Babajide) Sanwo-Owu, that track is there. He has even sang the track long before the crisis started. The track is all about APC and the party’s governorship candidate,” he said.
On why K1 continue singing while Ambode was making his speech, Rasheed described it as normal practice.
“If you are at the APC Convention in Abuja, the instruction was that as soon as someone is introduced, K1 will sing. Same thing happened at the Skypower Grounds, K1 started singing when Governor Ambode handed the party’s flag to Sanwo-Olu and that has nothing to do with the crisis. He didn’t abuse or insulted Governor Ambode as some are peddling,” he said.
7 home remedies to treat the flu
Each year, it’s estimated that between 5 and 20 percent of the US population gets the flu, while 200,000 are hospitalized due to complications associated with the illness. Normally, it takes between 1 and 4 days to start to show symptoms of the flu once you’ve contracted the virus. The early signs of flu include fever or chills, headache, sore throat, dry cough, runny nose, muscle aches and fatigue. When you feel the onset of these symptoms, you can best help your body fight the flu by taking good care of yourself and getting plenty of rest. In addition, consider trying some effective home remedies to help ease your symptoms and strengthen your immune system.
1. How to Treat the Flu with Hydration
Becoming dehydrated is one of the major risks of the flu, especially if you experience vomiting or diarrhea. If you notice that your urine is dark yellow, this can be a sign that you are dehydrated. Drink plenty of water, fruit juice or beverages that contain electrolytes. Soup or broth are also good options. If you don’t feel like drinking a lot all at once, try to take small sips throughout the day.
2. Grandma Was Right: Chicken Soup Works
People have relied on hot soup to help reduce cold symptoms since the 12th century. There’s a good reason that this popular cure has persisted throughout the years: Doctors agree that soup helps you stay hydrated and speeds the release of mucous to help clear out your sinuses. Additionally, research has shown that chicken soup may have particular benefits for easing inflammation associated with the flu, which can help reduce associated upper respiratory tract symptoms.
3. Boost Your Immunity with Vitamin C
There’s a reason why many people reach for a glass of orange juice when they first start to get the sniffles. Vitamin C is one of the best ways to prevent and fight the flu as well as boost your immune system, and it’s also backed up by research. Although getting vitamins from whole foods like fruits and vegetables is usually the best way to meet your daily nutritional needs, you may need extra support when you’re feeling under the weather. Dr. Axe advises taking a supplement of 1000 mg of vitamin C a day to help prevent the flu and up to 4000 mg daily if you start to experience symptoms.
4. Add Some Honey to your Tea
Despite what you might read online, honey is not a not miracle cure for the flu. However, preliminary research has shown that manuka honey in particular may help inhibit the replication of the influenza virus. Honey can also help ease a sore throat and reduce coughs, which can help you feel more comfortable while your body fights the virus. However, you should never give honey to a child under the age of 1 because it can cause botulism.
5. Take an Echinacea or Elderberry Supplement
You’ve probably already seen it on the shelves of your local pharmacy in the cold and flu remedies section. Echinacea is an herb that has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce bronchial symptoms associated with the flu. It can also help boost your immune system, but for the best results, it’s advisable to start taking it as soon as you start to feel symptoms. You can find echinacea in different forms, such as tablets, teas or tinctures.
Elderberry is another herb that may have a beneficial effect on the immune system, reduce bronchial symptoms, alleviate sinus pain and fight the flu virus. You can find elderberry supplements in syrup, capsule and tablet form.
6. CBD Oil: Can it Help?
In recent years, CBD oil seems to be the hot new product that has been touted as a cure for many ailments. Although some of these uses have very little supporting evidence, CBD oil has pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory properties, which may make it a helpful option for alleviating the physical discomfort associated with the flu as well as for relieving sinus and respiratory symptoms.
7. Use a Humidifier and/or Essential Oils
Moist, humid air can help reduce sinus symptoms and nasal congestion. If you don’t have a humidifier, you can boil a pot of water, remove it from the stove, throw a towel over your head and breathe in the steam, or take a steamy shower for several minutes, which can also help alleviate muscle aches and pains. If you also happen to have an essential oil diffuser, add a few drops of a soothing essential oil like eucalyptus or a combination of eucalyptus and lemon to help open up your airways. You can also add the essential oils to your pot of steamy water and then inhale or to disperse the aroma throughout your home.
Important Considerations to Keep in Mind
Most people who get the flu don’t need to see a doctor. However, if you have a high risk of complications, have certain chronic medical conditions or your symptoms become worse or don’t get better after a few weeks, you should make an appointment with your doctor.

Kanu have sold Papilla fc
Onyebuchi Abia, Kanu’s manager, has publicly confirmed that Kanu no longer owns the Nigeria National League (NNL) side, Papilla fc.
Kanu was said to have been frustrated that the team don’t perform and decided to sell the team.
Abia said Kanu will divert his finances to his youth football academy.
“Yes, I can confirm to you that he has sold Papilo FC,” Abia said in a telephone conversation.
“His plans now is to channel his finances on his pet project, the Kanu Academy, which he adores as a future project.
“He does not want to be drawn into the stories that teams that win in the league are teams that spend money and not the best teams.
“Kanu is a major stakeholder in Nigerian football and desires all that’s positive for Nigerian football.”
15 Nigerian sentenced to death in Saudi Arabia •List of the convicts •14 send SOS from prison
Fourteen Nigerians have already been moved to a jail in Medina apparently in preparation for the hangman’s noose. That has sent shivers down their spines, forcing them to dispatch a Save-Our-Souls message to President Muhammadu Buhari to do all within his powers to save them from being slaughtered like cows.
They were 15 in number but one of them was executed last year as a common criminal. The manner in which Yusuf Yakubu Ajiboye from Kwara State was arrested, hurriedly tried and subsequently killed, made them to entertain fear for their lives and came to the conclusion that the long knife was indeed awaiting them.
“We know they are preparing to kill us but before we die, we are pleading with the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to look into the charges preferred against us and see if indeed, we have been given fair hearing for the offences they claim we committed, and whether the Saudi authorities have treated us well under the law,” one of the suspects said in a leaked document made available to Saturday Vanguard from Riyadh.
“They claim that we peddled drugs and committed other drug-related offences, which according to them carry death penalty but we want Nigeria to intervene and give us another chance to live,” the suspect pleaded on behalf of the rest being detained in preparation for their execution in the Middle East country.
Among the Nigerians in the Medina Prison awaiting execution are: Lolo Babatunde, Biola Lawal, Hafis Amosu, Jimoh Ishola, Tunde Ibrahim, Abdurimi Aweda, Adam Abubakar, Amode Tunde, Adewumi Adepoju, Saka Riyau, Aliu Muhammed, Abdul Raman, Yekini Yahaya and two other women.
Many other Nigerians arrested for drug-related offences have also been detained at Jedda, Mecca and Riyadh prisons in Saudi Arabia, awaiting execution.
Sources close to the suspects told Saturday Vanguard that there are no fewer than 25 Nigerian drug suspects being detained in several prisons in Saudi Arabia with the ultimate aim of executing them since the offence carried the maximum death penalty in that country. But their fear has heightened since they claimed that they contacted the Nigerian Embassy in Riyadh and pleaded with them to take action to at least free them from that country’s jail and repatriate them to Abuja to either live or die and be buried on their father land, but regretted that the appeal fell on deaf ears.
“Our government should act fast to save our lives from the hangman’s noose because delay is dangerous in this case,” one of the suspects said.
FG reacts
The Nigerian Government confirmed yesterday, that it was aware of the detained Nigerians in Saudi Arabia in connection with drug-related offences and had already waded into the matter. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, said necessary steps were being taken to engage with the Saudi authorities on the fate of the detained Nigerian drug suspects.
“The Minister of Foreign Affairs has directed the Nigerian Mission in Riyadh to look into the detained suspects’ case urgently,” the Spokesman for the Ministry, Dr. Tope Adeleye Elias-Fatile, said in response to enquiry on the matter. “The Nigerian Government will continue to engage the Saudi authorities in negotiations so that they will not be executed,” the Foreign Ministry assured.
