James Olarewaju aka Baba Ijesha

Convicted actor and an inmate of the Nigerian Correctional Service facility in Kirikiri, Olarewaju Omiyinka James alias Baba Ijesha may be doing time at the prison for a despicable act of child molestation but among his inmates he has become something of a hero.

Baba Ijesha was said to have killed a snake with his bare hands at the facility recently. According to Alaroye, the Nollywood actor was said to have seized a big snake lurking under a generating set close to the Chief Warder’s office and killed it by slamming it to the ground.

The incident took place penultimate week when Baba Ijesha was on his way to receive medical treatment at the facility’s clinic. Within the premises, he noticed some inmates running helter-skelter, and inquired what the pandemonium was all about.

Those at the scene told him that they were seeking to kill a big snake, as they were holding sticks, iron rods and stones to kill the animal but they couldn’t move close to it.

Immediately, he made his way to the generator where the snake was hiding, shifted the generator, swiftly picked up the snake, swerved it vigorously and slammed it to the ground, causing its death.

The inmates expressed admiration for his courage and went on telling others about his feat of killing a big snake without the use of any weapon.

Baba Ijesha was sentenced to 16 years in prison after being found guilty of child molestation.

P-Square feud returns as Paul Okoye claims ownership of Peter’s new single

In a rather shocking turn of events, Rudeboy has claimed ownership of Mr. P’s new single ‘Winning’ released on November 8, 2024.

Peter Okoye AKA Mr. P who is one half of the legendary music duo has released a new 2-pack EP with the songs ‘Winning’ and ‘Attention’ and the former has now become a subject of dispute among the brothers.

In a shocking post on his Instagram, Paul Okoye AKA Rudeboy has claimed ownership of ‘Winning’ while also uploading the demo version to back his claim in what is the latest chapter in their ongoing feud.

“Song title : WINNING

Written and sang by RUDEBOY

Produced by same producer.

NOW HOW COME ? NOW AM I SUPPOSE TO RELEASE ANOTHER VERSION? Mr Producer your case na for another day …

Just a simple thing : Bring 6 song let me bring 6 song … submitted my 6 songs to the so called management. why re-singing my own song word for word 🤷🏾‍♂️ Song that was sopos to be in my album next year June,” the caption reads in pidgin English.

According to Rudeboy, he submitted ‘Winning’ as one of the six songs he wrote for the now-cancelled P-Square reunion album. The song appears to be a message to the dueling brothers who continue to disregard fans’ and stakeholders’ calls to settle their differences.

Rudeboy continued his outburst on his Instagram story where he said the days of manipulations are over while warning that he will continue to release the demo of any songs written by him.

‘Winning’ has now taken an ironic turn as the song that calls for peace has become the subject of a new dispute of intellectual theft between the brothers.

Mr. P has yet to react to Rudeboy’s claim in the public dispute between the brothers, who have been at loggerheads for nearly a decade.

Earlier in the year, the Okoye brothers including their older brother and former Manager Jude took to social media to share their sides of the story on the infamous EFCC case allegedly instituted by Peter against his brothers over what he claimed was mismanagement of funds.
