Nigeria’s anti-corruption agency has confirmed to the BBC that former first lady Patience Jonathan is taking the agency to court following an investigation into the four of her bank accounts. But the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) refused to confirm whether it had blocked any of her funds. A letter from her lawyers,  published in several Nigerian newspapers , alleges that $15m (£11.4m) was blocked in July – and that the money is for the former first lady to settle medical bills abroad. Her lawyers, Granville Abibo (SAN) and Co, told the BBC the firm had written to the EFCC on her behalf but refused to give further information. Muhammadu Buhari won elections last year, when he beat former President Goodluck Jonathan, promising to fight corruption. Several top former military officers and politicians are currently being prosecuted for corruption. BBC reportage. cc: Stella Dimokoko's

Along the line, I joined Muyiwa Ademola, Adebayo Tijani and Afeez Owo and I told them of my intention, that I loved acting. I was then informed that they pay dues which I did and ever since I became a part of it, I started doing one scene and gradually, the roles came calling. “I have cried a lot out of frustration on this job. There was a day I cried and had

As you know, there are so many music releases in the industry but they are not properly monetised. So, early this year, I thought that since people wanted me to give them something and God already gave me a great son

Consider when it was released in 2003, up till today, it
