11. Jidenna

Tho he resides in a different part of the world, Jidenna has rocked more African print than some of our music stars who preach the gospel of taking our music beyond borders. The classic man hit the 2016 BET red carpet looking 50 shades Nigerian in a stunning Ankara print outfit.

10. Ini Edo

Nollywood actress, Ini Edo started the year on a low in terms of her style, with her expensive poor AMVCA all white outfit, but she is known for experimenting too and quickly moved on from that to rocking her usual luxury items. Simple but expensive that's Ini motto for the year. She always makes sure she shows off the look on her gram from her endless Dior and chanel bags to her exotic foot wears.

9. Toke Makinwa

She is not sitting at the top part of the list due the huge criticism that trails some of her daring looks. From Toju Foyeh to April by Kunbi, she always tries to make a statement with her outfits.

Some will consider, fashionista Mercy Aigbe a cheat due to the fact that she has an endless list of choice of outfit to choose from her fashion store. Mercy can step out in four different outfits in a day and still slay and only a top contender could have push her away from the number one spot which she occupied on this same list last year. She can easily pass as a model in her twenties and its almost impossible to believe that she is the mother of another 15yr old model.

Doctor With Fake UNILAG Certificate Arrested In Ogun

A suspected fake medical doctor (name withheld) was Friday arrested in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, for allegedly being in possession of a fake certificate of the University of Lagos (UNILAG).

He was nabbed when he presented the university certificate as well as National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) discharge certificate for registration/re validation exercise at the state Ministry of Health’s headquarters in Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta.

New Telegraph learnt that the arrest was consequent upon the suspect’s attempt to re-validate his facility (God Heals Medical Centre) at Sango-Ota area of the state, which had earlier been sealed off by the state monitoring team.

It was alleged that he had carried out all kinds of surgeries without the necessary expertise, with many people becoming victims of his ineptitude.

The Commissioner for Health, Dr Babatunde Ipaye, immediately handed over the suspect to the police.

Ipaye said the state government remained committed to ridding the state off quackery, particularly in the health sector.

While noting that the activities of quacks endanger human lives, the commissioner disclosed that several suspects have been arrested in the past.




Yahya Jammeh Rejects Election Result After Conceding Defeat

Gambian leader Yahya Jammeh has rejected the result of the presidential election held earlier this month, a week after admitting defeat.
Mr Jammeh cited "abnormalities" in the vote and called for fresh elections.
Mr Jammeh, who took power in a coup in 1994, was defeated by Adama Barrow, who won more than 43% of the vote.

Mr Barrow accused the incumbent of damaging democracy by refusing to accept the result. His transition team said the president-elect was safe.
The results were revised by the country's electoral commission on 5 December, when it emerged that the ballots for one area were added incorrectly, swelling Mr Barrow's vote.

The error, which also added votes to the other candidates, "has not changed the status quo" of the result, the commission said.
However, it narrowed Mr Barrow's margin of victory from 9% to 4%.

Mr Jammeh said that he now rejected the results of the election "in totality".
"After a thorough investigation, I have decided to reject the outcome of the recent election," Mr Jammeh said.
"I lament serious and unacceptable abnormalities which have reportedly transpired during the electoral process.
"I recommend fresh and transparent elections which will be officiated by a God-fearing and independent electoral commission."

Mr Barrow's spokesperson said the head of the army, General Ousman Badjie, supported the president-elect, having pledged his allegiance after the initial result.
The BBC's West Africa correspondent, Thomas Fessy, said people have been celebrating the end of Mr Jammeh's 22-year rule for the past week, but now The Gambia's future looks uncertain again.

Foreign criticism of Jammeh
The government in neighbouring Senegal condemned the move and called for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council. Foreign Minister Mankeur Ndiaye, speaking on national television, urged President Jammeh to respect the election result.
The US has "strongly condemned" Mr Jammeh's rejection of the result.
"This action is a reprehensible and unacceptable breach of faith with the people of The Gambia and an egregious attempt to undermine a credible election process and remain in power illegitimately," said state department spokesman Mark Toner.

A Human Rights Watch spokesman also said it was "deeply concerned".
"The international community, notably [regional bloc] Ecowas and the African Union, should loudly protest any unlawful attempt to subvert the will of the Gambian people," said Babatunde Olugboji, deputy programme director.
The streets of the capital, Banjul, were reported to be calm on Friday night although soldiers were seen placing sandbags in strategic locations across the city, AFP news agency reports.

Only last week, Mr Jammeh was shown on state TV calling Mr Barrow to wish him well.
"You are the elected president of The Gambia, and I wish you all the best. I have no ill will," he said at the time.

According to the electoral commission, the revised results of the vote on 1 December was:
Mr Barrow won 222,708 votes (43.34%)
President Jammeh took 208,487 (39.6%)
A third-party candidate, Mama Kandeh, won 89,768 (17.1%)
