“I suffered PTSD for 4 years,” – Fiancé of pregnant nurse who died while taking care of an Ebola patient

Late Nurse Justina Ejelonu was pregnant when she lost her life & her baby to Ebola. As the attendant nurse, she was more in contact with Ebola patients in 2014.

Her fiance, Dennis Akagha recently mourned her passing, six years after, where he revealed that he suffered PTSD for four years following the report of her demise.

In a recent tweet on his page where he quotes a page that remembers the late gallant nurse, Dennis wrote,

Obim, you left without saying goodbye. I came to the hospital only to be told you were gone. Seeing this brings back the memory, the love we shared and the sacrifice. I will forever love and cherish what we shared. Obim, continue to rest until we meet to part no more.
For 4 years, I suffered PTSD. Initially, I told myself I could handle it but that was very far from the truth. It did not only affect my ability to make right decisions, it affected everything in me knowing you are no more.
Ebola snatched you away, our babies and our beautiful plan to rule our world together as man and wife. Nigeria may not have acknowledged your sacrifice but I know that some day, the world will. My consolation is that you are resting in peace. Dearie, I miss you!

55 year old man marries daughter after he helped her torture and kill her boyfriend on Valentine’s day

A 55 year old dad, identified as Larry McClure has been sentenced to life imprisonment for the 2019 murder of one 38-year-old Thomas McGuire, his daughter’s boyfriend on valentine’s day.

According to the Bluefield Daily Telegraph, Larry tortured and dismembered his daughter’s boyfriend, then had sex with her and thereafter, married her.

He has been charged with first-degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison last week Thursday, the new report says.

His daughter Amanda McClure, 31, (pictured below) also confessed to killing Thomas and pleaded guilty to second-degree murder.

Larry and his daughter Amanda, along with Amanda’s sister Anna Marie Choudhary, 32, of Boone, North Carolina are alleged to have murdered Thomas by striking him with a wine bottle, tying him up, injecting two vials of methamphetamine into him, and then strangling him on Valentine’s Day in 2019.

Larry claimed it was Amanda’s idea to kill Thomas and he went along with it. Police found Thomas’ body several months later in a shallow grave near the Skygusty residence.

The mother of McGuire, Karen Smith, condemned Larry at his court sentencing. Speaking directly to him, she said: “You and your two kids are going straight to hell! To marry your own daughter, that’s low-down.

“In my book, all three of you need to die! You don’t deserve to be on this earth breathing.

“I’m gonna live to see you or one of your kids die before I go. Who gave y’all the right to play God?”

McDowell County Circuit Court Judge Ed Kornish said in court,

“This was not a single violent act, it was a conscious decision. “You tortured this man for three days before you killed him.”

The killing took place on February 14, 2019 at a West Virginia home they were renting out.

13-year-old boy, sentenced to 10 years imprisonment for blasphemy over argument he had with his friend in Kano

A 13-year-old boy, identified as Umar Farouq has been sentenced to 10 years imprisonment in Kano for blasphemy, in an argument with his friend.

Farouq was arrested after he allegedly made derogatory statements toward Allah in an argument with his friend and was sentenced by Judge Aliyu Kanu, in an Upper Sharia Court in Kano State

This is coming after a Musician, Yahaya Sharif-Aminu, was sentenced to death for blaspheming against Prophet Mohammed in a song he circulated on WhatsApp.

The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom, however faulted the judgement of the upper sharia court in sentencing the minor.

Kano, is predominantly a Muslim nothern Nigerria state, that has Sharia courts as well as Customary courts.

National Coordinator, Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, Emmanuel Onwubiko, stated that the judgement did not conform with the human rights conventions and treaties to which Nigeria was a signatory.

The Convener, Coalition in Defence of Democracy and Constitution, Ariyo-Dare Atoye, also said,

“What is coming out of Kano is a challenge to section 10 of the 1999 Constitution, as amended. We know that the current Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, is more or less not interested in the secularity of this country.

“What is going on in Kano is an attempt to restructure Nigeria through the back door to create a two-nation in one because the message they are sending to the international community is that there is a part of the country operating a different legal system.

Lionel Messi reportedly tells Barcelona he wants transfer out of the club immediately

Lionel Messi has reportedly told Barcelona he wants to leave the club immediately in the wake of their Champions League failure.

Messi, 33, has grown disillusioned with life at his boyhood club following numerous mounting problems behind the scenes.

His contract expires next summer when he can leave for free but he appears determined to leave right now.

The report was released by Esporte Interativo, the same publication that accurately reported Neymar’s move to PSG years back.

An inside source close to Messi is quoted as saying: “He has never seen Leo so determined to leave as now.”

Graeme Souness writing in the Times, he said: “Lionel Messi looked like a man who has had enough of carrying that team; without him they wouldn’t even be good enough to qualify for the Champions League.

“This would be the perfect week to put a bid in for the 33-year-old Argentinian and I could easily see him playing in Manchester — at either United or City.”

#JusticeForKaisha trends on twitter as #BBNaija viewers threaten to boycott show over Kaisha’s ‘unfair’ eviction.

Kaisha was evicted from the Big Brother Naija ‘lockdown’ house last night and some fans adjudged her eviction ‘very unfair’.

Four housemates were up for possible eviction; Neo, Wathoni, TrikyTee and Kaisha (who had the most votes amongst them all).

However, with this season’s eviction format, four housemates who got the least votes are nominated for possible eviction while their fate to either leave or stay, lie in the hands of their fellow housemates and thus, Kaisha’s eviction was sealed.

Kaisha while speaking after her eviction, said she wasn’t surprised that majority of her fellow housemates nominated her for eviction because according to her, she already knows they dislike her.

Man thanks God after he escaped death. (Graphic Photos)

A young Nigerian man has taken to his social media page to thank God for giving him a second chance after he had a close encounter with death.

Orji Kelechi Alichi shared photos of his battered face while he was in a hospital fighting for his life and he thanked God for saving him.

Kelechi also appreciated the doctors and nurses for helping to nurse him back to life, adding that some people who have had the same experience died on the spot.

Part of his post reads ;

Even though I walk through the valley of shadow of death. I fear no evil for God is with me, that is the summary of my story. If not for God’s favour and mercies upon my life, this story could have taken another form. It may have been a sad story with sorrow and tears but God almighty has re-written my story and turned it into a story of joy, happiness and a new beginning.

I don’t need anyone to tell me that the hand of God was upon me, some people have such experience and die at the spot or lose their memory, but MY CASE IS DIFFERENT, it pays to serve Jesus, he says in Lam 3:37 “who has spoken and it came to pass, unless the lord has commanded it”. Am grateful to God Almighty for a new beginning, a fresh start and a golden privilege to do his work here on earth.

Am grateful to my family for their care, love, prayers, provisions and support towards me, if not for their support the healing process would have taken a longer time. To my friends who visited me at the hospital, those who called and those who said a prayer am ever grateful.

Nigerian man shares how his uncle is desperate to reunite with his children who all left him because he was too strict

A Nigerian man has taken to his social media page to share the story of his uncle who was quite strict with his kids when they were young, is now desperate in reuniting with them.

He shared of how the said Uncle visited his last child recently baring gifts after complaining that he barely keeps in touch with him or even visit him despite living in the same state.

The father and son engaged in difficult conversations during the visit and though it was quite awkward, it was progressive steps.

Read the Twitter user’s lengthy story below,

I just got off a long heartfelt phone conversation with my cousin. The conversation got me deeply into my emotions. It made me shed a tear and at the same time brought joy to my heart.

My cousin’s dad paid him a surprise visit at his apartment yesterday with so many gifts.

Yesterday was not his birthday. His birthday is still far ahead. There wasn’t any cause for a celebration. It was just a regular Saturday.

It was as though his dad came for restitution.

My uncle which is his dad complained so much about my cousin not coming home to visit them (him & his wife), despite the fact that they stay in the same state. His dad expressively whined about my cousin’s habit of not calling to check up on them often.

He is the last child. His other siblings are very far apart from their parents and hardly keep in touch.

His dad is now old. He is now trying so hard to build a connection with his son. This is his last chance to truly know and genuinely connect with at least one of his kids.

My cousin said it was an extremely awkward situation for both of them because, in the whole 26 years of his existence, he has never been in a room filled with silence and emotion with his father.

They could barely even keep a good conversation between them for over an hour.

The amazing thing was, they spoke about everything, from the morning when his dad came till late in the evening when he left. They had a ton of difficult conversations like childhood memories to school to career goals to relationships and all sorts.

He said the most awkward moment was when his dad asked him if he has a girlfriend and would want to know about her. He was so speechless for some minutes because he had to think of a response.

And, his dad was like, “Nwoke, tell me the truth, is she an Igbo girl?”

The most emotional moment was when his dad cheerfully congratulated him on doing well as a man. After he replied “Thank you” then he said, “I love you, daddy” then he hugged him and began to cry like a little baby. His dad had to pat him on the back as he said, “I love you too.”

It was a priceless moment for him.

I remember when we were kids. I sometimes visited my uncle’s house. It was a very religiously strict and proper family.

His kids had little time to play, watch TV, or do any other thing that was deemed unprofitable.

His kids were prohibited from going out to have fun and also bringing friends home.

They lived with a military kind of policy.

My uncle had a demeanor that made everyone feared him and forcefully respected him.

He was so tough that even just the thought of his presence sent shivers down the spine of his children. Though, he provided thoroughly everything they needed to live a comfortable life.

But after graduation, none of his children came back to the house.

They all fled and got their own apartments. After my cousin did his NYSC and got a job. He desperately saved some money, not up to 6 months, he rented an apartment and began to live all by himself just because he couldn’t withstand the standards and pressure from home.

3 years ago since he left, he had only visited home twice and occasionally called his dad. He is more in good and talking terms with his mom but he is relatively like a stranger to his dad.

He is so overwhelmed by the fact that is father is finally trying to know him after all these years.

His dad now requested that they do a video call at least once a week and he’d make it a hobby to visit home more often.

He concurred with all his dad’s pleas.

They hugged again.

Hearing my cousin narrating everything on the phone for hours was so therapeutic.

I’m so happy for them. I pray this their newfound connection would bring forth more blessings and goodness their way.

End.

Police arrest suspected fraudsters who specialize in cloning sim cards of prominent deceased Nigerians and transferring their money

Police arrest suspected fraudsters

The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a syndicate that specialises in the cloning of Subscriber Identification Module cards better known as SIM cards of prominent deceased persons and emptying their bank accounts in connivance with some criminal bank officials.

The syndicate were arrested after their leader, Osita Nwafor alias Ossy, was nabbed by men of the Rapid Response Squad. Other members of the gang include Nwogu Chike, Anthony Odama, Ikechukwu Nkem, James Okonkwo, Adedio Paulinus and Olufemi Ogundepo.

A statement by the RRS says the suspects connived with some bank workers in Nigeria and outside the country to loot the funds of deceased persons.

It was gathered that Chika was working on the transfer of $220,000 from a foreign bank, while Ogundepo was working on the transfer of N25m from an old generation bank in the country before they were arrested.

When interrogated, Nwafor stated that they look out for the obituary of wealthy Nigerians and then work with their bank insiders to determine their account balance and then clone their SIM cards for online transfer of their money.

“Although I brought the team together, each member of the group has his area of specialisation. We look for potential victims and each member has his role on each of the cases.

Once I have done my part of the deal by looking for SIMs and accounts numbers, I push them to whoever among the member has to play the next role and that is how we treat our cases and apart from this, each member of the gang also has his splinter group. Whenever they have personal jobs, they also handle on their own.

Chike looks for foreign and local accounts for money lodgements. I don’t know anything about how he does that, I simply hand over to Chike. He has his connections and they work on percentage and once they agree on the percentage when the money comes, everybody gets their cuts.

We find obituaries of well to do members of the public, use bank insiders to determine the deceased’s account balance and clone their SIM cards for online transfers.” he said

One of the group’s bank informants was arrested in Lagos while another one who is based in Benin city, Edo state, has gone into hiding after he got wind of the syndicates’ arrest.

The seven suspected fraudsters have been transferred to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad for further investigation and prosecution.
