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!
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. https://t.co/AsnlwYO3rN

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 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.”
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.
Below are some reactions ;
Biggie this aint fair am not a kaisha fan but this is the highest level of streat running we'll see this season so i made up my mind not to vote anymore since my vote dont mean squat #justiceforkaisha#BBNaijaLocdownpic.twitter.com/gR6131clGN
Kaisha leaving is not the problem. The problem is calling her name knowing that you will be evicting only one person. The two bottom guys should have been called. It's shit #JusticeForKaisha
Big brother should just allow the housemates do the voting alone while we do the watching. Haba! This is so bad. So you mean Kaisha's fans wasted their money, time and effort this week ontop nothing?! So unfair. #BBNaijaLocdown#JusticeForKaisha#TeamBrighto BRINGBACKTHEOLDMETHOD pic.twitter.com/OLyDIYExQI
