Melaye Escapes Assassination after Gunmen Attacked his Kogi Home

The Kogi West Senatorial representative accused the Chairman of the Local Government Taofiq Isa is behind the attack.

“I got a rousy welcome from Kabba to my home town yesterday (Friday) and I know it angered the power that be in the state which mobilised for this assassination attempt on my life.
At about midnight we started hearing gunshot. They fired more than 200 rounds of bullet into the house. This attempt to kill me will not stop me from speaking the truth.
If I speak the truth I will die, if I lie I will die. Me, I’ve decided to speak the truth and die. I’m not afraid of death. I only respect men I don’t fear them.
This attempt is being championed by the chairman of my local government. He had said it many times that he will do everything to stop me from coming home. Beside, those assailants when leaving were chanting ‘We will know if it’s Taofiq that owns the land or you.’
I am championing an administrative course. I will continue to speak and be voice to the voiceless. I’m not deterred, I remain resolute to make Kogi better. Nothing will stop me from coming home.
The DPO did not come to my house until three hours later. Even the area command in Kabba was not notified until I called the CP. I suspect a satanic collabo between Taofiq and the police in Aiyetoro because the duo had a meeting two days ago.
Only God will protect us in this country but definitely not the police,” Melaye said.

Isa responded to the allegations saying: “I’ve never been a violent man. My running battle with Dino if any is because I have asked him to stop vilifying the state governor, Yahaya Bello. Let him (Dino) prove it. I lost my uncle a week ago, I’m still attending to my sick wife and busy supervising the APC re- registration programs. I’m a democrat and law abiding. I challenge Dino to prove his case.”
Kogi State Police Public Relations Officer, William Aya, confirmed the report, saying that investigations are ongoing.

Katheryn Hudson for The May Issue of Vogue Magazine

 I kissed a girl and I liked it... sounds familiar yes.. Its Miss Perry baby

Beautiful, fine-boned Hitchcock blonde were the words used by Vogue‘s celebrity Photographer Mert Alas to describe superstar Katy Perry.

The star who was born Katheryn Hudson to religious Santa Barbara parents has been a performer since her childhood, and a self-confessed “black sheep” daughter of evangelical Christian pastors.
In this intimate interview with Vogue’s Hamish Bowled, Perry is as bubbly and mysterious as she seems to all of us. As she talks about everything from her “Cutesy” style (which she is trying to come out from) to her new found love for androgynous & architectural style, her religious upbringing and politics.






“I came out of the womb asking questions, curious from day one, and I am really grateful for that: My curiosity has led me here. Anything I don’t understand, I will just ask questions about it ”
At 32, Perry is recalibrating her life on many levels. “It’s a nice place to be,” she says of her age. “I love it! I wouldn’t give anything to go back to my 20s; I’m so much more grounded and I’ve learned a lot of lessons, patience, the art of saying no, that everything doesn’t have to end in marriage. That your education can start now. I blasted off on a rocket, holding on for dear life,” she adds.
On her take on politics, the singer admitted to being devastated post election,

I was really disheartened for a while; it just brought up a lot of trauma for me. Misogyny and sexism were in my childhood: I have an issue with suppressive males and not being seen as equal. I felt like a little kid again being faced with a scary, controlling guy. I wouldn’t really stand for it in my work life, because I have had so much of that in my personal life. But it’s an awakening that was necessary because I think we were in a false utopia . . . we can’t ever get that stagnant again. I am so grateful that young people know the names of senators. I think teenage girls are going to save the world! That age group just seems to be holding people accountable. They have a really strong voice and a loud one.

“I don’t cure cancer or anything, but I know that I can bring light and joy and happiness in tiny installments of three minutes and 30 seconds. That does something.”
