Uber driver attempts suicide over 90,000 naira debt (Photos)
 |
The driver who reportedly drove himself to the famous Lagos Bridge in a Uber Toyota Corolla saloon car, belonging to Kalejaiye Oluwaseyi, had written a short note and left it in the car before he was stopped by the officers who monitored him a while before walking up to him.
Confessing to almost committing the said act, Olojo, an ex-convict disclosed he was owing N10,000 in Court 3, Ikeja High Court and also owing the owner of the vehicle N80,000. Further being questioned by RRS Commander, ACP Tunji Disu he revealed that though his wife persuaded him from going ahead with his plan, but his mind was made up and was fed up of everything as he had tried all possible means to survive with no success.
His short note in Yoruba, which was translated into English in the car before leaping into the Lagos Lagoon, reads in part; “I killed myself because of the challenges I have been facing in life. I tried my best and everything has come to nothing”.However on his own part, the car owner, Kalejaiye who was at RRS office in company of his wife noted that for two weeks, he had not remitted N40,000 per week lease to him yet and he Kalejaiye, has been paying for the service of the car. He noted that although, he told him to hand over the car last Thursday, at no time did he force him not to drive the car. He noted that he was aware that he had a court case, at no time did he put him under pressure about the car.
In the note which was dated 27th August, 2017 and signed by him, Olojo indicated his phone number and the car owner’s number. Confirming the development, Police PRO stated that the case had been transferred to State Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation.

"I am grateful I got the chance to know you for the past 2 years, before the end of your day. I will always remember your warm welcome to the Bucknors inspite of the difficulties to engage a long conversation"Tosyn Bucknor's French hubby pays beautiful tribute to the OAP's late dad
He wrote:
Dear Segun Bucknor, E kaa ro,
I know you but would have loved to know more on the beginning of your day. You need to tell me a lot about you. I'm sure your youth is worth a million gists. You made me realize we never ask ourselves enough the right questions, at the right time: what is a dad and his importance in life? How did you live through adult age, questions, responsabilities? How was your family life in Yaba? A million gists... But you've left a million memories people love to share, starting from your wonderful wife Sola.
Dear Segun Bucknor, E kaa san,
You left a great musical legacy at the afternoon of your life. The first thing I loved when I discovered Nigeria 5 years ago was afrobeat music. I am proud to see people's reactions when realizing you are my father-in-law. Your daughter will maintain this flame ablaze.
Dear Segun Bucknor, E ku irole,
At the sunset of your life, your 2 beautiful daughters started building upon & honouring your legacy. Your not-so-impressive heights. How you compensate with your generosity, authenticity and sense of humour. Funke keeps your endless energy, friendliness and willingness to communicate alive. Tosyn keeps your creativity, 10 phones, cute chin & little mouth, naughty smile and...coca cola addiction alive. You even gave me the most important clue to make my wife happy: 'give her what she wants, give her what she needs', as you sang.
Dear Segun Bucknor, E ka ale,
I am grateful I got the chance to know you for the past 2 years, before the end of your day. I will always remember your warm welcome to the Bucknors inspite of the difficulties to engage a long conversation. Your commandable efforts to drop a few words in French for me. While I dreaded the potential culture clash, you & Sola made me feel once and for all more than just an oyinbo in Nigeria. I remember your passion to communicate against all odds & through all means: language, social media, SMS's. And if I had to pick one single memory of you, it would be that pure joyful smile your when we announced our marriagr. I'm happy I humbly contributed to your happiness.
Dear Segun Bucknor, Daddy,
O daa bo. Or, I should say, o daa ro.

The couple's previous son and daughter were both born with birth defects.
Their first daughter has pre-axial polydactyly - she had two thumbs on one hand - and their second child was born with a cleft palate, they told Fox 43.
Zachary Smith, the father, says that although the family is not particularly religious, they saw the image as a sign from above.Baby Briella was born on Wednesday. Mother and daughter are healthy and doing well.

Gambia beat Nigeria in Jollof rice competition
Gambia has been adjudged the winner of the Jollof Rice Competition organised by the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) as part of activities marking the Jollof Festival at the weekend.
The competition, which featured Ghana, Gambia, Nigeria and Senegal, formed part of the “See Ghana, Eat Ghana, Wear Ghana, and Feel Ghana”campaign being championed by the GTA, under the auspices of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts to promote local tourism on a global scale.
Gambia prepared the jollof rice without tomatoes but with mustard, fish and other ingredients, making their jollof yellowish-white as compared to Ghana, who used tilapia, tomatoes and other ingredients to make their jollof attractive and tasty, giving it a reddish colour.
The Nigerian and Senegalese chefs used ingredients they believed could make their jollof super and delicious but, unfortunately, they could not win.
the judges, who were drawn from Mexico and the Netherlands, said the judgment was based on criteria including presentation, aroma, and taste.
Mr Jan van der Veer, the lead Judge, told the GNA that the Gambians had “a fine presentation and a better taste for their jollof as compared to that of Ghana, Nigeria and Senegal.”
Whitney Houston Was In A Lesbian Relationship, New Documentary Shows
Whitney Houston's closest friends believe she was in a lesbian relationship with her assistant. In a documentary about her life, those closest to Whitney say she was in a relationship with Robyn Crawford, 56, the woman who spent 20 years by her side working for her.It sees Ellin Lavar, who dressed the singer, and her security guard, Kevin Ammons, confess that Whitney was bisexual and in love with her assistant.
After Whitney died in 2012, her ex-husband Bobby Brown said she might still be alive if she was allowed to be open about her sexuality.
In the documentary, her former bodyguard David Roberts even said that Robyn and Brown would have physical fights over their shared loved of the singer, and the intensity of their relationship even led to her exile from Whitney's inner circle.
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, documentary maker Nick Broomfield credits Robyn for keeping Whitney 'on the rails' but believes her fans are too obsessed with the intimate details of their relationship.
The filmmaker, whose movie about the legend airs on the BBC this weekend, finds it bizarre that Whitney's fans are so interested in her sexuality and the nature of her relationship with Robyn.
He told MailOnline: 'It's almost like people want the condom or here's the stained sheet. I don't know what kind of conclusive proof one wants except this is the closest relationship for years that Whitney had.
'They shared a house together; they often shared the same bed. I think the most important thing is that it was the most productive, supportive and creative relationship that she had for probably 15 years.'
In the movie Ellin states her belief that Whitney was bisexual, having feelings for both Robyn and her husband Bobby Brown.
Ellin says: 'I don't think she was gay, I think she was bisexual. Robyn provided a safe place for her… in that Whitney found safety and solace.'
Whitney died in 2012 when she drowned after suffering a massive heart attack, brought on by years of cocaine abuse.
Her friends and family - and even Bobby Brown - believe that she might still be alive if she was allowed to be with Robyn.
Nick said: 'Bobby Brown loved Whitney enough to say if Robyn Crawford had been around he believed Whitney would still be alive. I think she did an amazing job of keeping her on the rails, keeping her more or less on time for interviews and that kind of thing.
'Certainly the people closest to Whitney, like Bobby Brown and Patti Howard, all feel that Robyn got driven out. If she stayed around, Whitney would probably be around too.'
Robyn worked as Whitney's assistant from 1979 and eventually earned the position of creative director before quitting in 2000.
Whitney's family and friends believe Robyn was pushed out by her mother Cissy Houston, who disapproved of their romance.
