Nigerian prince, 63, who has fixed leaks for Thames Water for 20 years sets up charity to provide boreholes and clean drinking taps for community back home
- Akeem Adenuga's brother is The Paramount Ruler of Odo-Ayandelu in Nigeria
- Mr Adenuga - who lives in Tottenham - came to UK in 1994 to study and stayed
- Climbed ranks and now leads team of engineers who fix hidden leaks in London
- Hopes to combine professional expertise with royal influence and start charity
- Charity Merry-Gold Water aims to raise initial £20,000 to provide clean water
A Nigerian prince who has fixed leaks for Thames Water for 20 years has launched his own charity to provide clean water for his community back home.
Akeem Adenuga, 62, comes from Lagos, Nigeria, where his brother - King Asunmo Aderibigbe - is The Paramount Ruler of Odo-Ayandelu.
The prince - who now lives in Tottenham, north London - took a break from royal duties in 1994 to study in the UK.
He took up a job as a trainee leakage technician at Thames Water in 2000, and he has worked there ever since.
Mr Adenuga climbed the ranks and now leads a team of 24 engineers who find and fix hidden subterranean leaks across the capital.
He hopes to combine his professional expertise with his royal influence and give something back to the community he left behind with his new charity Merry-Gold Water.
Nigerian prince Akeem Adenuga, 62 - who has fixed leaks for Thames Water for 20 years - has launched his own charity to provide clean water for his community back home
The charity aims to raise an initial £20,000 to provide clean drinking water in rural and vulnerable communities in Lagos.
He wants to create boreholes with taps that everyone in the community can access.
Mr Adenuga said: 'I am a very private person and a lot of my friends don't know my heritage.
'People I have known for a long time only found out recently and said "wow, you are royal, you kept that quiet".
'But I am just myself and, I may be a prince, but I just live a normal life.
'Whenever I go back home I have a big reaction of course.
'There are a lot of people in the house and everyone comes round. We have a good time together.
'But this charity that I have launched will be a big surprise to them. I have not even told my brother, who is the king, what we are planning.

'I am very proud of that heritage, but in England I am just a leakage engineer and I love what I do.
'But you cannot forget your roots and I want to give something back.'
Mr Adenuga is starting in his hometown of Agbowa-Ikosi - a two-hour drive from the city of Lagos - but wants to roll the scheme out across the wider region.
He added: 'The aim and objective of the charity is to bring clean drinking water to the rural and local communities of Lagos state in Nigeria.
'They have been deprived of clean water for too long. I have worked in the water industry for a long time and want to try and make a difference to the area that I came from.
'It has been a long time coming but I have to create time as it is something I am very passionate about.

'Every time I go back home I can see the struggle people go through for clean drinking water and this is what I can do to help out.'
Mr Adenuga invited people from Nigeria, friends from America and Ireland, and some from Thames Water for his virtual charity launch on Saturday.
He added: 'I want to achieve a modern borehole for them and need around £20,000 to start.
'I need a pumping machine, generator and all that to put in to make sure we have everything we need on the ground to achieve clean water for the whole community.

'The first phrase of the project is to protect my village and then I want to roll it out to further areas.'
Mr Adenuga, who is married and has five children, added: 'Water is something I have always been passionate about.
'I believe water is life and I am fascinated with the way the whole thing works. We don't have the same technology back home that we have here.
'I am lucky that I am in a position to make a difference. The reaction so far has been really positive and I am overwhelmed. My colleagues have been so helpful.
'The situation in Nigeria is not as bad as it used to be. It is just that people have a borehole in individual houses if they have money.
'For the people who cannot afford it, they struggle for water and go around looking every day.
'We want a community refreshing point with a pumping station and a borehole inside the building, with taps outside, that everyone can access.
'There is obviously room for a lot of improvement, but I have learned a lot since I came over here and these are useful tools for me to go back home and help my people.'

The National Judicial Council is set to bar media reportage of allegations of misconduct levelled against judges and employees of the judiciary.
This is contained in the National Judicial Policy to be launched by the NJC on Monday.
The policy will widen the dark veil that shields disciplinary proceedings against judges.
Under the new policy, the NJC or any institutions of the judiciary shall discard a complaint sent against a judge or employee of the judiciary for investigation if after receiving the complaint it is leaked or discussed in the media.
The policy partly read, “lt shall be the policy of the judiciary on complaints that allegations of misconduct against judicial officers or employees of the judiciary shall not be leaked or published in the media.
“Where complaints on allegations against judicial officers and court employees are submitted for investigation, the complainant or complainants shall be made to give an undertaking not to do anything to prejudice investigation or actions that may be taken.
“The institutions of the judiciary concerned with investigation or and implementation of decisions taken on such complaints shall be obliged to cease further action where such complaints are leaked or discussed in the media.
“Where such a leakage is occasioned after the submission of a complaint then all investigations on the complaints shall be suspended, the leakage investigated and if such leakage is from the complainant on through other parties known to such a complainant, such a complaint should be discarded.
“Where such leakage is occasioned prior to the presentation of the complaint and the source of the leakage is found to be the complainant or through other parties known to and connected with the complainant then such complaint shall not be accepted, upon submission, by the appropriate disciplinary body.
“Upon the conclusion of any investigation, the judicial disciplinary bodies may allow public disclosure of their findings, subject to following the proper channels for such disclosure.”
This is coming at a time when the NJC, the body vested with disciplinary powers over judges at all levels, is under public attack for either allegedly shielding corrupt judges or merely giving those found culpable a slap on the wrist.
The criticism of the NJC was sparked by the arrest of seven judges including two serving justices of the Supreme Court over alleged corruption allegations.
In the wake of the arrests, the arresting agency, the Department of State Services, said it took the step after the NJC allegedly rebuffed complaints against some of the arrested judges.
But the NJC has since denied the allegation of shielding corrupt judicial officers.
The new policy was prepared by the NJC in April 2016 but will only be launched under the chairmanship of the outgoing Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Mahmud Mohammed on Monday.
It covers issues such as judicial appointment policy, judicial discipline policy, judicial code of conduct policy, judicial education and training policy, judicial performance policy, case flow management policy, judicial administration and court management policy and transparency and anti-corruption policy, among others.
The new policy tends to tie the hands of those who have submitted complaints against judges from taking any other step until the NJC completes its investigation.
The policy says, any judiciary institution that receives a complaint a judge or any court employee shall make the complainant to give undertaking not to do anything to prejudice investigation. |
PARIS — A tournament record 675,080 spectators attended the French Open and more than seven million people saw the men’s final on television, the French Tennis Federation said on Friday.
The number of fans attending was up 6.6% on last year.
The peak audience on French national television for the men’s singles final between champion Carlos Alcaraz, who is Spanish, and Alexander Zverev, who is German, reached 7.34 million viewers for an audience share of 40.6% last Sunday.
The FFT did not provide French national TV viewing figures for the women’s final between Iga Swiatek of Poland, who won her fourth French Open and fifth Grand Slam title, and first-time major finalist Jasmine Paolini of Italy.
There was a peak audience of 1.5 million people in Poland for the women’s final, the FFT said, and 2.2 million viewers on broadcaster Eurosport in Germany for the men’s final.
There were more than 1 billion video views on the tournament’s various platforms, more than double the 477 million views from 2023, and in excess of 83 million page views on the official Roland Garros website. |

Nike sues over 'Satan Shoes' with human blood
Nike is suing Brooklyn art collective MSCHF over a controversial pair of "Satan Shoes" that contain a drop of real human blood in the soles.
The $1,018 (£740) trainers, which feature an inverted cross, a pentagram and the words "Luke 10:18", were made using modified Nike Air Max 97s.
MSCHF released 666 pairs of the shoes on Monday in collaboration with rapper Lil Nas X and says they sold out in less than a minute.
Nike claims trademark infringement.
It has asked the court to stop MSCHF from selling the shoes and prevent them from using its famous Swoosh design mark.
"MSCHF and its unauthorised Satan Shoes are likely to cause confusion and dilution and create an erroneous association between MSCHF's products and Nike," the sports shoe giant says in the lawsuit.
MSCHF "dropped" the black and red shoes on Monday, coinciding with the launch of Lil Nas X's latest song Montero (Call Me By Your Name), which debuted on YouTube last Friday.
The song sees the rapper, who came out in 2019, celebrating his sexuality while rejecting society's attempts to shame him.
In the heavily stylised video, he slides down a stripper pole from heaven to hell before dancing provocatively with Satan, then snapping his neck and stealing his horns.
The imagery and the shoes both reference the Bible verse Luke 10:18 - "So He told them, 'I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven'."
Each shoe also features a signature Nike air bubble cushioning sole, containing 60 cubic centimetres (2.03 fluid ounces) of red ink and a single drop of human blood, donated by members of the MSCHF art collective.
In its filing with the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York, Nike said it did not approve or authorise the customised Satan Shoes.
"There is already evidence of significant confusion and dilution occurring in the marketplace, including calls to boycott Nike in response to the launch of MSCHF's Satan Shoes, based on the mistaken belief that Nike has authorised or approved this product," it said.
The lawsuit cites a tweet by popular shoe influencer @Saint from last Friday, which teased the upcoming release of the shoes and drummed up publicity over the weekend on social media and in the media in the US.
Some conservatives, including South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, and some religious followers, took offence at the controversial design of the shoes and criticised Lil Nas X and MSCHF on Twitter.
End of Twitter content
Lil Nas X hit back at the governor and other critics on Twitter, and on Monday was tweeting several memes on his profile in response to news of the Nike lawsuit.
Joseph Rasch of Tennessee, who paid $1,080 for the trainers, says he is worried the conflict means his money will be lost.
"I'm hoping I'll receive them since I paid for them," he told BBC OS on World Service radio, adding that he made the purchase not because he definitely planned to wear them but as a political statement.
"I wanted to support a black gay man who is attempting to show a different narrative in a majority Christian country that currently is dealing with a lot of issues with black people. So what better way to do that than to buy shoes that this person has collaborated with?" he said.
Buyer McKenzi Norris of South Carolina, a longtime follower of the MSCHF art collective, said Nike's lawsuit had disrupted his plans to resell the trainers for $2,500 on eBay, which removed his listing.
"In general I think Nike's lawsuit and their intervention is pretty ridiculous considering how much damage it can cause to everyday people like me who just like to customise and resell their products legally," he said.

Italy’s World Cup icon ‘Totò’ has passed away.
The football world is mourning the loss of Totò Schillaci, the iconic striker who led Italy to a memorable third-place finish at the 1990 FIFA World Cup.
The great Schillaci, who was hospitalized in Palermo last week and diagnosed with colon cancer in 2022, passed away at the age of 59.
His health had recently deteriorated, leading to treatment aimed at stabilizing his heartbeat.
Schillaci's remarkable journey in football began at Messina and saw him make his mark at top clubs like Juventus and Inter Milan.
However, it was during the 1990 World Cup held in Italy that he achieved global stardom, finishing as the tournament's top scorer with six goals.
His memorable strikes included decisive winners against Austria, the Republic of Ireland, and England, capturing the hearts of fans across the nation.
Schillaci famously scored the goal that put Italy ahead in the semi-final against Argentina, a match that ultimately went to penalties.
Schillaci's ability to rise to the occasion during high-pressure moments made him a beloved figure in Italian football history.
Totò Schillaci: Tributes pour In from clubs and fans
Following the news of his passing, both Juventus and Inter Milan released heartfelt tributes.
Juventus expressed their deep admiration for Schillaci, stating, "We immediately fell in love with Totò. With his desire, his story, his passion."
Inter Milan echoed this sentiment, emphasizing how he made "an entire nation dream during the Magic Nights of Italia 90."
Schillaci’s legacy lives on not only through his unforgettable goals but also in the hearts of fans who celebrated his extraordinary talent.
During his club career, he played for Messina (1982–1989), Juventus (1989–1992), Internazionale (1992–1994) and Júbilo Iwata (1994–1997).
At the international level, Schillaci was the surprise star of the 1990 FIFA World Cup, as he helped Italy to a third-place finish on home soil.
Coming on as substitute in Italy's first game, Schillaci went on to score six goals throughout the World Cup, claiming the Golden Boot as the leading goalscorer, and received the Golden Ball as player of the tournament ahead of Lothar Matthäus and Diego Maradona, who came second and third respectively.
That year he also placed second in the 1990 Ballon d'Or, behind Matthäus. |

Few days to the Supreme Court decision on the interest of PDP candidate and ex-Governor Ikedi Ohakim joining the ongoing case instituted by the ACN candidate, Sen Ifeanyi Ararume, over the conduct of 2011 Supplementary election, PDP has come hard on Okorocha.
It would be recalled that the camp of Owelle Okorocha have been using various forms to draw attention to the Supreme Court case scheduled for Thursday, October 31, 2013. Apart from employing media campaigns, women and youths were recently mobilized to embark on pro-Okorocha demonstrations on Owerri streets, the Imo State Capital.
Alarmed by verbal comments oozing from the APC and Okorocha’s political family concerning the Thursday case, the national body of the PDP has blasted the incumbent governor of Imo state “for attempting to hoodwink the Supreme Court and divert its attention from the substance of the case of October 31, 2013 ruling on his unlawful emergence as Governor of Imo State”.
In a statement by the National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, PDP berated Okorocha for accusing President Goodluck Jonathan of influencing the Supreme Court on the case, saying such is part of the embattled governor’s strategy to whip up sentiments to sway the Judiciary by portraying himself as being under attack by the presidency.
The PDP statement stated that Governor Okorocha “has always been jittery” that justice will prevail against him at the Supreme Court for stealing the peoples’ mandate in 2011, hence his recent deployment of blackmail and attacks on the Judiciary and the Presidency ahead of the apex court’s ruling on the case. “The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and indeed all Nigerians have noted the on-going antics of Governor Rochas Okorocha and the All Progressives Congress (APC) wherein they have been issuing threats, sponsoring fabricated stories in the media and organizing phantom protests against the office and person of President Goodluck Jonathan and the Supreme Court.
“This governor has been living in morbid fear of having justice prevailing against him at the Supreme Court for stealing the mandate of the people in 2011. As such, he now seeks to use the instrumentality of blackmail and political subterfuge to divert the attention of the Supreme Court from the substance of the case against him ahead of the apex court’s ruling on October 31, 2013.
“By sponsoring fabricated reports in the media alleging that the Presidency was influencing the Supreme Court to remove him from office, Governor Okorocha is merely trying to whip up sentiments to ultimately sway the Supreme Court by portray himself as a victim of attack by the Presidency. It is to say the least, despicable that a state governor who swore to defend the constitution, will in a desperate bid to retain a stolen mandate, condescend so low to attempt to hoodwink and undermine the sacred institution of the Judiciary, even the Supreme Court.
“Whilst the PDP remains steadfast in its belief in the impartiality of the Judiciary, we call on this institution to note the activities of such undemocratic elements who seek to use every means to undermine and derail it. Moreover, the APC is aware that it will lose the 2015 general elections and even the governorship of states presently under its control. As such, it is now using the Imo state governor’s attempt to blackmail the Judiciary a test for a bigger plot to weaken this institution ahead of 2015 to enable the opposition get away in states they plan to rig. In addition, we call on Nigerians to note the organization of phantom protests against President Goodluck Jonathan by Governor Okorocha and the APC. This is also part of the orchestrated plot by the opposition to undermine the Federal Government and ultimately destroy the unity of the country by engineering pockets of revolts across the country against the PDP-led government.
“Having discovered that Nigerians have rejected them ahead of 2015 general elections due to their penchant for propaganda, deceit and promotion of violence and disunity among the people, the APC leaders have perfected this plot and are now using Imo state and the governor to experiment its workability. We in the PDP at all levels will continue to conduct ourselves with maximum decorum. We believe that the Supreme Court is made up of sagacious and impeccable judicial officers who cannot be swayed by the antics of Governor Rochas Okorocha and the APC,” the statement said. |

Barcelona announced on Friday they have signed Antoine Griezmann from Atletico Madrid.
The forward joins on a five-year deal with a buyout clause of €800 million.
The club have ended a long-running transfer saga by paying the 28-year-old’s €120 million buyout clause, and the forward will now join up with the club for pre-season.
Griezmann is expected to be officially unveiled as a Barcelona player on Sunday and join up with his new team-mates on Monday for pre-season training, although the club is yet to confirm the details.
The 28-year-old’s arrival will not be universally popular given he snubbed a move to Barcelona last summer, while rumors have claimed the dressing room would not welcome his arrival.
Griezmann scored 133 goals in 257 appearances in his five years with Atletico but announced his intention to depart the club back in May. |

A big face-off is brewing between Abia state House of Assembly and Imo state House of Assembly over the warrant of arrest issued to the immediate governor of Abia state, Chief Orji Uzor Kalu by the Imo House over allegations Orji made against the governor of Imo state, Chief Ikedi Ohakim.
Imo House of Assembly had issued a warrant of arrest on the former governor for his alleged failure to appear before the House to substantiate allegations against governor Ohakim.
But Abia House of Assembly has faulted the action of Imo House and threw its weight behind the former governor not to appear before the House. Abia House also called on the Inspector-General of Police to regard the order made by Imo House as illegal.
In its resolution after sitting last Tuesday, Abia House said:
*From the available facts and circumstance, the Imo State House of Assembly acted ultra vires and in bad faith, when it purported to investigate the Imo State Governor based on a newspaper publication but ended up with issuing a purported warrant of arrest against Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, a purported witness, who did not at any time petition the Imo State of Assembly.
*The Imo State House of Assembly should forthwith refrain from carrying on or purporting to carry on or pass any resolution which will in any manner whatsoever affect Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu in the purported investigation of the Governor of Imo State.
*If the Imo State House of Assembly is interested in mediating in the well known and publicized conflict between Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu and Chief Ikedi Ohakim two eminent sons of Igbo land from sister States of Imo and Abia, they should do so with a view to reconciling both parties instead of worsening the conflict.
*Ohaneze Ndi Igbo should advise the Imo State House of Assembly to refrain from conducting its activities in such a manner that may stir up embers of discord or hatred amongst eminent Igbo sons and respected citizens of Nigeria like Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu and others.
*The Inspector-General of Police is to note that the purported warrant of arrest issued against Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu is null and void having been made ultra vires, in bad faith and with dubious intentions by the Imo State House of Assembly not to turn themselves into prosecutor, Judge, Jury and Executioner under the pretext of exercise of the restricted power contained ins Section 128 and Section 129 of the 1999Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Reality sensation Doyinsola Anuoluwapo from Big Brother Naija David, better known by his stage name Doyin, has counseled women to wait until marriage to inherit their spouses’ wealth.
She believes that any act of kindness a guy performs for his partner in a nonmarital relationship qualifies.
She emphasized that until a guy and his partner get married, he is not required to be responsible for them.
This was Doyin’s response to a female admirer who had been rejected by her lover for calling him “stingy,” and who had come to her for guidance.
Sharing the screenshot of the message via her Instagram story, she wrote: “I don’t think he’s stingy because he doesn’t randomly give you money. If you have a man that gives to you when you ask then you’re lucky to have a responsible man but he doesn’t owe you random money just because you are his girlfriend. [sic].
“Until a man has married you, he is not obligated to be responsible for you….whatever he does is out of the generosity of his heart but you should never feel entitled to his money.
“Don’t let the internet deceive you, it’s nice to have a man that is intentional with his generosity but it’s not your birth right. There is nothing genetically programmed in a man that makes it easier for him to make money than a woman.
“It’s not easy to make money, so no one wants to keep spending ‘randomly’. If you need random money, please get a job.” |
