Mrs. Mgbechi Nanny revealed that contrary to claims by the actress of showing her love by regularly gifting her money for her children, she had never done so.
“At the slightest opportunity, she would rain abuses on me and tell that she would scatter me if I wasn’t careful.
“I lived in that house with her despite all the constant harassment because of her son, King. I loved the boy like my own child and it was because of him that I stayed long with her.” She said.
Former President of the United States of America, Barack Obama has reacted to the tragic death of George Floyd, the black man who died after being pinned down by a white police officer in Minneapolis on Monday.
Obama, U.S. first black president released a statement via his Twitter page, saying it “cannot be normal” in 2020 and implored the Minnesota authorities to ‘ensure that the circumstances surrounding George Floyd’s death are investigated thoroughly’.
His statement reads ;
“This shouldn’t be ‘normal’ in 2020 America. It can’t be normal. If we want our children to grow up in a nation that lives to its highest ideals, we can and must do better.
“It was fall mainly on the officials of Minnesota to ensure that the circumstances surrounding George Floyd’s death is investigated thoroughly and that justice is ultimately done.
“But it falls on all of us, regardless of our race or station – including the majority of men and women in law enforcement who take pride in doing their tough job the right way, every day – to work together to create a “new normal” in which the legacy of bigotry and unequal treatment no longer infects our institutions or our hearts.”
“It’s natural to wish for life “to just get back to normal” as a pandemic and economic crisis upend everything around us,” he said.
“But we have to remember that for millions of Americans, being treated differently on account of race is tragically, painfully and maddeningly “normal” – whether it’s while dealing with the healthcare system, or interacting with the criminal justice system, or jogging down the street, or just watching birds in a park.”
Anthony Joshua has opened up on his challenges in finding true love, stating that he’s yet to find someone to call his girlfriend.
The world heavyweight boxing champion spoke with to The Sun about life in lockdown with his family including becoming “super dad” to his four-year-old son, JJ, and how it has been hard for him to balance his profession together with his personal life.
AJ says: “I think you can date and still be a successful sportsman but it’s hard to find a balance and I would have to compromise — which I’ve not felt able to do.
“My dad never gave me advice about much. But in terms of relationships what I have learnt and what I tell my son is, it would be nice to find a high school sweetheart and to grow together because as you get older you get set in your ways.
“For me to have a relationship now means I would have to compromise and change my ways and I don’t know how easy that would be for me to do.
“So I do date but I don’t get to the stage where I actually put anyone into that position.
“I don’t have a girlfriend and I haven’t had one for a while. But as I get older I do think it would be nice to have someone, someone to grow with as well — but I honestly haven’t found anyone.”
The British Nigerian boxer also went on to say that he hopes to find a woman who would have to understand what it’s like to be famous,
He explains: “Maybe I need to get off the estate and start going to celebrity parties — maybe do something different.
“I hope I will — and probably meeting someone else who understands fame would make sense. I would hope so. But it needs to be someone down to earth, family-orientated – someone who can call my mum their second mum.
“It takes time to grow that and, as I said, now I am older I am stuck in my ways. As I get older it would be nice to bring someone into my world but it’s dependent on who and I just haven’t found someone yet.
“Maybe we can go on a hunt. We have all the time now.”
Joshua also revealed how he has become super-dad while in lockdown with his four-year-old son, JJ.
AJ says: “I started off as super-dad and then that slowly went out the window and to be honest he’s watching way too much TV now.
“The only thing he wants to do is watch Paw Patrol and Ryan’s World – there’s no way you’d get him watching Joe Wicks.”
“At home, he doesn’t really think of me as a famous boxer or anything like that. I’m not a superstar and he doesn’t think so either. He knows I fight but that’s all.
“I always keep that stuff away from home. I’m not like that at home – and I’m not even like that when I go out, really.”
AJ, who has been home-schooling his son doesn’t think he would be sending back to school when the lockdown come to an end.
The heavyweight says: “The next conversation is about him going back to school — although I’m not too sure if we’ll send my boy back to school just yet.”
While boxing fans want to see him fight British rival Tyson Fury, AJ says: “In my own mind I had mentally written off most of this year but, if I was to fight this year, it would probably be November or December.
“It’s difficult at the moment knowing how you cover the costs, and whether you could charge people in the circumstances for pay per view.”
On how he’s been keeping fit, AJ explains: “It’s my lifestyle. That’s what I’ve done all my life – instead of going to college, I went to the school of boxing. I learnt how to fight.
“So I’m still doing my studying, I’m still doing my education but I’ve got a key to my local gym which I’m allowed to go in. You need discipline and that’s one thing I’ve got personally, I don’t need to be told or pushed – it’s in my character.
“I just hit the bags, skip and it’s the first time in my whole boxing career where I’ve been left alone.
“Normally I’ve got someone in my ear, telling me what to do, how to do it and I’ve actually really enjoyed being on my own. It’s been a blessing.
“And there’s nobody to spar with so you don’t get hit — that’s not always a bad thing!”
He went on: “My workout regime is always boxing and it’s one of the things I love most about boxing. Out of all sports, you really don’t need much to get started.
In the latest update of the Covid-19 pandemic in the country, 387 new cases have been reported as of Friday evening, May 29th by the National Centre for Disease Control.
In a new update on their Twitter page, the NCDC reports that there’s new cases in Lagos, FCT, Jigawa, Edo, Oyo, Rivers, Kaduna, Borno, Kano, Plateau, Yobe, Gombe, Bauchi and Ondo.
The Lagos state police command has released the photos of the police officers who were accused of killing 16-year-old Tina Ezekwe in the Iyana-Oworo area of the state.
According to reports, a trigger-happy policeman was trying to arrest a bus driver for violating the nationwide curfew and in the process, allegedly shot the bus conductor dead as well as young Tina.
Spokesperson of the Lagos state police command, Bala Elkana, who released the photos of the accused police officers, gave their names as ASP Theophilus Otobo and Inspector Oguntoba Olamigoke.
Bala stated that the police officers have been subjected to internal disciplinary proceedings and if found culpable, will be arraigned in Court.
Giving an account of what happened, Bala said,
“The incident happened on 26th May, 2020 at about 2245 hours. The said Police Officers fired shots from their pin down point along Berger by third mainland bridge, in a circumstances yet to be determined one Musa Yakubu ‘m’ 35 years was injured at the point and a stray bullet hit Tina at Berger Yanaworu Bus stop.

Bala added that the Police have been in contact with the families of the victims from the day of the incident.
The Command deeply sympathised with the family and friends of the deceased person. The Commissioner of Police calls for calm and assures the family that the perpetrators of this dastardly act will face the full weight of the law. He reiterated his stance on zero tolerance for impunity. Members of the public will be updated on the outcome of the investigation.” the statement read
It’s okay for you to insult me, or call me names, but don’t insult my husband, the love of my life, the love of my kingdom. See, you can do anything to me, but you see this man, don’t ever try it with him.”
One of her followers while reacting to her statement then said the actress will use her own mouth to insult her husband in a year’s time.
The troll who was probably nauseated by the actress’s comment stated that she will one day insult her husband herself. The troll wrote,
“No worry… before one year now na u go still use your mouth insult your husband. Na then you go realize set relationship no be the same with marriage”
The actress then fired back at the troll by telling them not to embarrass their lineage.
She wrote,
“When you don’t have anything to say, it’s better you shuuush so you don’t embarrass your lineage”.
The troll then responded by assuring the actress that his words will one day come to pass concerning her marriage to her husband.
He wrote,
“Just mark my words. When that time come you go remember set one idiot been talk am that time but you think say na joke”.
Minneapolis officer, Derek Chauvin, who knelt on African American, George Floyd’s neck till he died, has been arrested and charged with 3rd degree murder, new reports say.
The other 3 officers who stood by and watched are still under investigation, but no charges have yet been filed.
Derek Chauvin, who was fired on Tuesday along with the three other officers involved in the detainment of Floyd, was taken into custody, Friday and faces charges of 3rd-degree murder and manslaughter, Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman announced.
3rd degree murder is a crime committed without premeditation or intention to kill and involves killing another person through inherent dangerous actions and with no regard to human life.
Freeman said he expected more charges to come, possibly against some of the other three officers.
“The investigation is ongoing,” Freeman said, “We felt it was appropriate to focus on the most dangerous perpetrator. This case has moved with extraordinary speed.”
A day earlier, Freeman had said the case still needed more investigation. However, by Friday, Freeman said enough evidence had been gathered.
“All of that has come together and we felt, in our professional judgement, it was time to charge,” Freeman told reporters during a news conference.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and the FBI are both investigating Floyd’s death.
In a video shared online, Floyd pleaded “I can’t breathe” as Chauvin knelt on his neck for about nine minutes on Monday night, May 25.
The police department initially said Floyd “physically resisted” the officers and that he died after “suffering medical distress.” However surveillance footage showing the onset of the arrest shows this wasn’t the case.
Security footage from a nearby restaurant showed some of the events leading up to Floyd’s arrest. The video captures two officers arriving at the scene around 8 p.m., removing Floyd from a car parked on the street, handcuffing and questioning him before eventually walking him across the street as another police car arrives.
Floyd didn’t appear to struggle in the video as claimed.
Before the death of Floyd, Derek Chauvin had harmed other civilians and was the subject of over a dozen prior police conduct complaints that resulted in no disciplinary action and one that led to a “letter of reprimand” during his career.
After Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman announced Chauvin’s arrest, he was asked why the former cop was not arrested and held before charges were filed.
Freeman replied: “This is by far the fastest we’ve ever charged a police officer.”
He added that normally it takes 9 months to investigate.
Freeman wouldn’t say if the protests in any way accelerated the arrest. He would not comment on what specific piece of evidence led to Chauvin’s arrest but said that his office had reviewed footage of Floyd’s death and the officer’s body-worn camera, spoken to witnesses and obtained a preliminary report from the medical examiner.
“We have now been able to put together the evidence that we need. Even as late as yesterday afternoon, we didn’t have all that we needed,” Freeman said.
Freeman said he would not speculate about the three other officers involved in Floyd’s arrest but said he anticipates charges.

This world is exhausting. In America, it’s racism – white cops killing unarmed black people. In Nigeria, where we share the same skin colour, it’s tribalism & genocide. Every other week there’s another story of mass murder; Kaduna today, Jos tomorrow. So much hatred. I am tired
