The proud groom shared photos from the special ceremony on his social media page and wrote;
“Unfortunately we couldn’t have a “traditional” wedding but I thank God for the journey and wouldn’t have had it any other way. A lot of people have told me they are proud of me. Quite frankly I’m very proud of myself. As a boy, my mother preached a lot but a few always stood out. The woman who taught me how to love told me to do things the right way. She told me to go to counseling before the engagement, get married, then buy a house and lastly have children. As tough as it was to be patient I stand here today the happiest man in the world because my wife was worth it all. I pray this feeling for all of my friends and family it’s nothing like it I promise you. •“

A nurse was caught carrying a newborn baby boy far from the hospital where she works and she was confronted by passersby who accused her of stealing the baby.
The nurse was seen standing by the side of the road, carrying a newborn baby boy with the placenta still intact. She claimed she was waiting for the woman who owns the baby.
However, bystanders didn’t believe her. They asked her to call the woman who gave birth to the baby on the phone, adding that they will not let her go until they see the woman she claims is the baby’s mother.
The spectators told her she stole the baby from the hospital and wants to sell it. But she insisted that she didn’t.
The man filming is heard saying that the nurse has no right to take a newborn baby out of the hospital compound and the only explanation for the nurse’s action is that she plans to sell the child.
When interrogated, the nurse said she works at Mother of Mercy Hospital & Maternity Okpoko.
Eyewitnesses claim she was on her way to sell the baby at Upper Iweka by Owerri Road in Onitsha.
Eyewitnesses warned that parents of newborns should be extra vigilant to avoid a situation whereby they are told that their baby has died, whereas the baby was stolen to be sold to a child trafficking ring.

A Russian nurse has gone viral for wearing “lingerie” beneath a transparent protective gown while treating coronavirus patients after claiming she was “too hot”.
The revealing picture was taken by a COVID-19 patient in a male ward in Tula, south of Russian capital Moscow.
According to him, there were ‘no complaints’ from fellow patients.
The unnamed nurse in her 20s reportedly told her superiors at Tula Regional Clinical Hospital that she didn’t realise the PPE was so transparent. She also claimed she was “too hot” wearing the uniform.
The hospital chiefs punished the nurse for ‘non-compliance with the requirements for medical clothing’ before the regional health ministry also confirmed that “a disciplinary sanction was applied to the nurse of the infectious diseases department who violated (uniform) requirements”.
One patient said there was no objection from men in the coronavirus ward while admitting there was ‘some embarrassment’.
A reader of local newspaper Tula News congratulated the nurse. ‘At least someone has a sense of humour in this gloomy, gloomy reality,’ said Sergey Ratnikov.
A woman commenter Marina Astakhova posted: ‘Well done, she raised the mood of the patients.’
And Valery Kapnin wrote: ‘Why punish the nurse, you need to reward her. ‘Seeing this outfit, no-one wants to die.’

Ace Nigerian stand up comedian, Atunyota Akpobome, popularly known as Ali Baba, has stated that the history of the success of stand up comedy can not be written without masked musician, Lagbaja.
The 54-year-old said this on Instagram on Tuesday when he shared a story about his first time opening for the musician.
He wrote;
”The history of the commercial success of stand up comedy can’t be written without mentioning the role this man, @officiallagbaja played in its, process, development and activating the cash.
From #SeaGarden to #Motherlan’, he was very clear about how he wanted me to be part of his project.
“Ali, I want you on stage by 12 midnight till 12:30 or thereabout. Can you handle it?” He asked me at an auto mechanic shop on Oregun.
I had seen him play at some events at different parts of Lagos. I knew he had a cult following amongst the upwardly mobile young men and women.
I said yes. And were My assumptions right?
“I need intelligent and spontaneous jokes that will cut across, Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa and all others who will come to watch us. And I want you to yabbbbbbbb them well well.”
What l then said must have sealed it. “Shey you won’t say I should tone it down?”.
There was one guy, who sat in at the meeting. He had eyes like a Tortoise Car. His mind was half there at the meeting… and half at the BMW he had instructed one of his mechanics to fix.
His fears were not unfounded. Because, as he was trying to respond to my rhetorical question, the car the young apprentice was trying to jack up, rolled over what he used to wedge the front tyre.
We all dashed to assist in pushing the BMW back from where it had rolled into the door of another car.
It was a sloppy workshop.
Lagbaja was wearing brown chinos and a checked top.
He turned to the mechanic, Adeoye or Ade something, (it’s been long) “So, what do you think?”
“He is the man”. And returned to dealing with the vehicle bumper.
Lagbaja, at this time, was sitting on the burnet of a car, got up to his feet and shook my hand. “See you on Friday next week”
That Friday came. And The crowd were as predicted, lawless, loud and unruly. They were rich. I had a goal to reach. So, I left the jokes. Mo bu shege kuro lara awon were. Gradually, they started to listen. There was a new sheriff in town.
And from SeaGarden to Opebi, the art and act of Stand Up, was eased into the corporate world. Banks. Oil companies. Conglomerates. Military boys… all in. Egungun, Egbon… I appreciate again.“
Former Chelsea striker, Didier Drogba has given insightful details about a magical night in munich where the team clinched their first ever UEFA Champions League trophy.
The retired Ivory Coast international shared the emotional story about how Spanish footballer, Juan Manuel Mata García, helped him win the Champions League at a time when he thought all hope was lost.
It was in 2012 and Chelsea’s manager had just been sacked. He said the team players had a meeting to make things better and the struggle from then on was a will to win at any cost.
His tweet reads ;
Eight years ago,the Manager had been sacked by the club and we, the players had a team meeting where we recognised being partly responsible for his departure. The captain @johnterry spoke, @franklampard @petrcech and other leaders in the group too.
We decided to all give this competition everything, despite our defeat 4-1 against Napoli.
We had been chasing this trophy for eight years and couldn’t do better than runner up.
Everyone agreed to put egos aside and challenge each over for the same goal.
After that meeting I asked a young 23 years old @juanmatagarcia “please Maestro, help me win the champions league “ he looked at me like “man you’re crazy, you’re Didier Drogba you are gonna help me win it, I then told him I’ve been here for 8 years and never won it so I believe you’re the one who’s gonna help us win.
I’ll even give you a present if we win it, that was end of February.
Three months later, we were in Munich, in the final, in their stadium, submerged with a red wave.
The hosts took the lead with 8 minutes to go and on my way to kick the ball for the last 8 minutes I was so discouraged, the young man said to me “believe Didi, you have to believe” , almost in tears I answered after looking at the time score “believe in what? It’s almost over, I’m gonna cry like a few months ago when I lost the final with Côte d’Ivoire.
Last minute, last corner, I mean first corner for us against eighteen for Bayern Munich.
Guess who took that corner kick… @juanmatagarcia and the rest is history.
The lesson is ALWAYS BELIEVE !!!!

Big Brother Naija 2019 housemate, Khafi Kareem, has shared an insightful opinion after a twitter user suggested that the BBNaija show seem to appeal to the most rabid and debased people.
The statement from the Twitter user is coming after fans of BBNaija winner, Mercy Eke, attacked a lady on Twitter for insinuating that her new real estate company is for laundering money.
Khafi, however, replied the tweet, saying she disagrees that BBNaija appeals to rabid and debased people.
“No love, I disagree. BBN appeals to people from all walks of life. It appeals to people with empathy, people who are passionate and people who are intrigued by life around them. We watch and find someone or people who remind us of parts of ourselves and decide to love them.“
She further said ;
“It fosters community.Not all representatives of it are positive & some use the love for one as reason to hate another, but that does not write off the community as a whole. Far from rabid, their energy is powerful & lives have been changed as a result. Mine is one of them”.
