Rosy Meurer finally reacts to allegations she “snatched” Tonto Dikeh’s ex husband, Olakunle Churchill (video)

Actress, Rosy Meurer who is now married to Olakunle Churchill, the ex-husband of Tonto Dikeh, says what she was accused of has now become her reality and fate as she has eventually married Churchill. According to her, she allowed God’s will to take its course in her life.

Recall that after her marriage to Churchill crashed, Tonto in an interview accused Rosy of sleeping with Churchill. Rosy vehemently denied the allegation then, stating that Churchill was like a “brother” to her.

On Monday, February 15, Rosy and Churchill revealed they have been married for a while now. Rosy in a Q&A with her followers on IG revealed that he proposed to her two years ago and that they got hitched a year ago.

In a new video posted on her Instagram page, Rosy attempted to address some of the issues surrounding her union with Churchill.

Rosy denied claims of being responsible for Churchill’s failed marriage to Tonto Dikeh. She said;

“Mr Churchill’s failed marriage has nothing to do with me. The same way you guys read and heard online that I was the reason for his broken marriage was the same way I read and heard online that I was the reason for his broken marriage.

Before then, I never knew that the relationship I had with him before he got married was a problem after he got married. I didn’t get the memo. No one confronted me. I was never aware of such. Whatever it is that happened in his marriage, I had no knowledge of. The same way you read online of what happened is the same way I read online what happened.

I mean, I knew him. Why would I wait for him to get married before I would start playing hide and seek? It doesn’t make sense.”

Speaking further, she said;

“After his marriage crisis and after he got divorced, I was still there. I never left. Why will accusations and people talking make me leave? Leave to where? I never left. I never abandoned him. Obviously he was a different person. Not much fun, not the normal fun bobly Mr Churchill that we used to play with and used to know. He was just off, devastated, broken, frustrated. His mind was never there. You could tell he had stuff on his mind. It was what it was.

Gradually days passed, months passed, years passed, life took its course. Destiny happened.

What I was accused of became my reality and my fate. What would be would be. You cannot change it. You cannot force it. I am not God. I mean, it just happened. I let God’s will take place in my life. I never forced myself on him. It just happened that he became more than a brother. He became a lifetime partner”

Responding to comments that she claimed Olakunle was her Brother when Tonto made the allegation, Rosy said;

I did say that Mr Churchill was like a brother to me but he is not my blood. My mother didn’t give birth to him. We don’t share the same father. That statement he is like a brother to me simply meant he is family. Mr Churchill has always been there for my family and I and it has always been that way.

Was I ever attracted to him or have I ever looked at him in any other way? No! Was he ever attracted to me? Who knows? That is not something I have control over. I was in a relationship. I was happy. A relationship that went sour due to the banter online when some accusations were made. Did I kill myself? No! I moved on. Life goes on.

After Mr Churchill got married, things were still the same. He was still there for my family and I. He will take my siblings and I out. I would invite friends, male or female. He never had a problem with it. We would have so much fun and when it was time to work, we would work. I am not a lazy youth. I have goals, aims and ambition. I have things that I want to achieve in life. Mr Churchill made that possible for me. He exposed me to a lot of opportunities and I am forever grateful.

When it came to work, it was always work. You would see us in places and that is because throughout me going around with him regards his foundation, I was learning the process. It had nothing to do with intimacy. It had nothing to do with me following him because I liked him. I did like him but like I said, like a brother, family.”

Man sentenced to life imprisonment at age 15 finally released at age 83, after 68 years behind bars

Joe Ligon, the nation???s oldest juvenile lifer, stops for a portrait outside his lawyers office, in Center City, Philadelphia, February 11th, 2021. Ligon was released from prison today and went to his lawyers office directly after. JESSICA GRIFFIN / Staff Photographer

Joe Ligon, who was sentenced to life imprisonment at age 15 has been released from a Pennsylvania prison after spending 68 years behind bars.

Ligon who is now 83-year-old, was convicted of taking part in a string of robberies and assaults with a group of drunk teens which left two people dead in Philadelphia in 1953.

A hearing found Ligon guilty of two counts of first-degree murder, and Ligon admitted to stabbing at least one of the eight people stabbed that day but his attorney, Bradley Bridge said his client maintains he never killed anyone.

“The child that committed those crimes back in 1953 no longer exists. The person that came out of prison in 2021 is 83 years old, has grown, changed, and is no longer a threat,”

“He has amply repaid society for the damage and harm that he did. And now, it’s appropriate that he spends the last years of his life in freedom.,” his lawyer said.

In a chat with CNN, Ligon said, “I’m a grownup now, I’m not a kid anymore. Not only am I a grown man, I’m an old man and getting older every day.”

In the 1970s, Ligon and his accomplices were granted the option of clemency from Pennsylvania’s governor. But since clemency meant being on parole, Ligon rejected it.

He turned down another offer of parole in 2017, stating parole would not grant him the freedom he desired after decades in prison.

“The state parole board presumably would have released him but on condition that he would be under their supervision for the rest of his life.

“He chose not to seek parole under those terms.” Bridge said

Bridge, who has represented Ligon for 15 years now, ultimately argued that a mandatory life sentence for a crime Ligon committed as a juvenile was unconstitutional.

Bridge brought the case to the federal court and won the issue in November 2020, which ultimately granted Ligon freedom under his own terms in 2021.

Nigerians attack Minister of Defense, Bashir Magashi, for telling them not to be cowards and stand up against bandits

Nigerians attack

The Minister of Defense, Bashir Magashi, is currently under fire on social media for telling Nigerians to stop being cowards and stand up against bandits.

Nigerians attack

Magashi made this statement at the National Assembly on Wednesday, February 17, while reacting to the abduction of staff and students of Government Science College in Niger state.

In his words,

“Is it (security issue) the responsibility of the military alone? We shouldn’t be cowards. It is the responsibility of everybody to be alert and ensure safety when necessary. We shouldn’t be cowards. Sometimes bandits come with about three rounds of ammunition and when they fire shots everybody will run. In our younger days, we stand to fight any form of aggression.

Why should people run away from minor, minor aggressions?

We should stand and face them. If these people know that the people have the competence and capability to defend themselves, they will run away”

Watch the video below,

Nigerians were triggered by his statement and have taken to social media to express shock at the minister’s stance on the issue of banditry.

Some opined that the defence minister’s statement has shown that he is incompetent and unable to perform his duty. Others stated that it is wrong for the minister to ask unarmed citizens to face bandits armed with AK-47 and other ammunitions.
