July 4th 2017. I was involved in a ghastly accident,(collided with a tanker) confide in a wheelchair with doctors saying I “may” never walk again. Lost what I thought was the biggest break in my life (going to Cambridge) but God came through!
Was in the operating table for over 5 hours. Bones, thighs and ribs torn open. But Jesus the author and finisher of faith stepped in. Went back for an X-ray and bones were all in place. If someone tells you that there is no God. Bring them to me for testimony and proof.

Enugu state police command arrested one Mrs. Ifeoma Ezeugwu, for allegedly drilling nails in two places into the head of her housemaid, a 10 year old girl, identified as Miss Chinonye Nnadi.
Chairperson of the WomenAids Collective WACOL, Prof. Joy Ngozi Ezeilo, who brought the little girl’s plight to the public, said her office was alerted on Friday about the case of Chinonye who sustained grievous bodily harm from Ezeugwu who she works for as a domestic help.
“This is gory and torture of a young innocent girl whose only crime is being born to a poor widow who had to give her up to live with someone in the hope that she will get an education and survive. We pray that she recovers. We demand full wrath of the law on this woman that inflicted such a level of physical injury on this girl.
I spoke to the distraught mother of the victim. She is a poor widow living in a rural village in Aku, near Nsukka, Enugu state. It is time to eradicate child labour, ban and punish heavily anyone using children as domestic help. The Child Rights Act and the NAPTIP Act must be effectively enforced. WACOL will follow through to ensure that justice is done in this matter” Ezeilo said
The Enugu state police command has now released a photo of the woman committed the inhumane act.
A statement released by the spokesperson of the state police command, Daniel Ndukwe Ikea, states that the woman, Ifeoma Ozougwu, 24, and her husband, Jude Ozougwu, 40, were arrested following credible information received July 2 alleging that a woman in Akonameze Street, Thinker’s Corner, Enugu, inflicted degrees of injuries on her minor female ward.
Ikea said operatives of the Command swiftly moved to the area where they rescued Nneoma and arrested the couple.
“Preliminary investigation showed that the suspect, who the victim’s relative and a mother of three (3), maltreats her to the extent of using different objects, including hot pressing iron, iron rod, and nails to inflict several grievous bodily harm as well as inserting pepper into her private part.” the statement read
According to Ikea, the state Commissioner of Police, CP Ahmad Abdur-Rahman instructed the Area Commander to take Nneoma to the hospital for treatment after seeing her battered body. He bemoaned why the suspect will be so heartless to abuse and inflict such grievous injuries on another woman’s child left in her care and directed the immediate launch of a thorough investigation and prosecution of the suspect, her husband, and any other culpable accomplices to the crime.
The statement adds that the Commissioner has warned all those who may have been in the habit or are intending to maltreat and/or inflict grievous harm on susceptible children to desist forthwith, as the Command will not spare anyone found culpable in such inhuman acts that infringe on the dignity and fundamental human rights of children. He called on residents of the state with credible information that will help in fighting crimes against vulnerable children to call the Command’s hotlines on: 08032003702, 08075390883, 08086671202 or 08098880172.

Regina Daniels had a sit-down with Tofarati Ige of Punch Newspaper where she revealed her first impression when she met her Billionaire husband, Ned Nwoko, a Lawyer and politician.
Regina in the interview with Saturday Beats said “The first impression I had when I met him, which I will keep saying is that he looked like a farmer. We actually went on a tour to his house in the village (Aniocha North Local Government Area, Delta State) and he was so polite and educative. He wants one to know about nature and the world in general. He wants one to experience different things, so he was always trying to educate us on that particular visit”
Speaking further, she said “Being married to him (Ned Nwoko), I feel free. I can do whatever I want, dress however I like and live my life. He is always pushing me to be a better person. He brings me out there because he wants me to be more exposed. He wants me to see the world in a different way. As a matter of fact, there are so many things I just can’t start to explain.”
Regina Daniels further spoke about her pregnancy experience, saying she didn’t face any challenges. “Before I got pregnant, people said pregnancy was hard; and the journey wasn’t easy. As a matter of fact, I heard so much. But I am still very young and it was more like living my normal life. I didn’t even have morning sickness and I didn’t face any challenges of any kind. It was pretty normal for me,” she said.

Samuel Nii Quaye, a 20-year-old man who went missing at age 2, has finally been reunited with his real family 18 years later.
According to reports, Atinka FM, hosted Samuel who recounted his story and mentioned all he has been through since childhood.
Samuel revealed that he had been living with a fetish priest throughout his life and only realized they were not actually related after the man’s wife was deceased.
The obituary poster of the late woman did not include Samuel’s name, which was confusing to him and when he made his investigation, he found out he was brought to them almost two decades ago. From that moment, Samuel decided to trace his roots and locate his family, a quest that brought him to the radio station where his story was aired.
It is reported that after the radio show featured Samuel, four different families called saying they had lost their son about 18 years ago.
They were all asked to undertake a DNA test that confirmed Samuel belonged in the Nii Quaye family.
The young man’s father indicated that he recognized a birthmark on him and was absolutely sure the result was going to prove Samuel was his son.
The charge sheet which gives an insight on some of the charges suspected Nigerian fraudster, Hushpuppi is facing in the United States has surfaced the internet.
Hushpuppi who faces a statutory maximum sentence of 20 years in a US federal prison if convicted, made his initial U.S. court appearance this morning in Chicago.
In the affidavit prepared by FBI Special Agent Andrew John Innocenti, the suspected Nigerian fraudster and his co-conspirators were accused of stealing over $16m.
The affidavit made in support of a criminal complaint and an arrest warrant for Hushpuppi, also captured phone conversations between him and his co-conspirators after each business email compromise (BEC) fraud they allegedly perpetrated. They were also accused of attempting to dupe a Premier League Club of £100m.
It also captured photos of Hushpuppi’s luxurious lifestyle which was allegedly financed by proceeds of crimes he allegedly perpetrated.
Olalekan Jacob Ponle, 29, popular on Instagram as Woodberry, who allegedly orchestrated an international cyber fraud scheme targeting several U.S.-based companies has been charged in U.S. District Court in Chicago with conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
Woodberry was arrested last month in the United Arab Emirates, where he was living, according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Chicago. He was expelled from the country and into FBI custody and arrived in Chicago Thursday night. He appeared in court Friday morning to face a charge of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
The schemes resulted in attempted or actual losses to victim companies in the tens of millions of dollars, including a Chicago-based company that was defrauded into sending wire transfers totaling $15.2 million, the complaint states.
The complaint describes several instances in which one or more unknown subjects gained unauthorized access to a U.S.-based company’s email account and sent messages to unwitting employees claiming to be from the company or a known business contact.
The fraudulent emails instructed people to wire funds to a bank account set up by “money mules” at Ponle’s direction, prosecutors say. The complaint alleges Ponle directed the mules to convent the proceeds of the fraud into Bitcoin and send them to a virtual wallet that Ponle owned and operated.
Conspiracy to commit wire fraud is punishable by up to 20 years in federal prison. If convicted, the Court must impose a reasonable sentence under federal sentencing statutes and the advisory U.S. Sentencing Guidelines.
See screenshots of the conversation Woodberry unknowingly had with the FBI agent ;
Earlier, we reported that embattled Nigerian socialite, Ramon Olorunwa Abbas better known as Ray Hushpuppi, who was extradited to the United States by the Dubai police earlier this week is said to have conspired to launder hundreds of millions of dollars from the likes of a U.S. law firm, a foreign bank and an English Premier League soccer club.
The alleged fraudster who is facing a 20 year jail term made his initial U.S. court appearance on Friday morning in Chicago.
The 28-pages charge sheet of the crimes of Hushpuppi has been shared on the internet with charges such as him allegedly “tricking one of the law firm’s paralegals into wiring money intended for the client’s real estate refinancing to a bank account that was controlled by Abbas and the co-conspirators,”
It said Hushpuppi’s schemes also targeted a U.S. law firm, a foreign bank and an English Premier League soccer club.
“The affidavit also alleges that Abbas conspired to launder funds stolen in a $14.7 million cyber-heist from a foreign financial institution in February 2019, in which the stolen money was sent to bank accounts around the world.
