Nigerian lady who was the sole survivor of a fatal accident shares testimony as she surpasses doctors’ expectations

Blessing Dike has every reason to be grateful to God for sparing her life after she emerged from a fatal accident that claimed lives four years ago.

Blessing is filled with gratitude to God this day, April 29th, 2020 as it marks four years of the near death accident she was involved in back in 2016 – an accident that claimed the lives of every other passenger in the bus except hers.

In a tweet shared on her page this morning, Blessing revealed doctors had told her that she would never be able to walk with her right leg that was badly damaged in the accident.

She is however thankfully that against all odds, she can now walk well. She wrote,

“Had an accident in 2016, I was the only survivor, right leg was badly damaged, it was almost amputated. Doctors said I will never be able to walk normal again, no shoes or sandals only slippers. Look at me now OLUWATOBILOBA!!! Forever grateful”

”Why I stabbed my mother in-law to death”- Lady tells Police.

A 37-year-old lady, who was arrested earlier this week for stabbing her mother-in-law to death in Niger state, has given a reason for her action.

The suspect identified as Fatima Sani, reportedly stabbed her 70-year-old mother-in-law identified as Aishatu Umaru, following a misunderstanding with her husband Sani Umaru, which resulted in a divorce.

Fatima who was visibly unremorseful, told the police during interrogation, that she decided to stab her mother in-law because the deceased never liked her and did not give her peace since she got married to her son.

”Since I came into that family, I have not known anything called peace. Every day is punctuated with my mother-in-law’s trouble. There is nothing I did that pleased her and I decided to stab her to death so that everything would be over.

I know I have done something that even Allah will not forgive me, but let the law take its course. Since she did not want me to have peace in my matrimonial home, Allah will not set her free.”

Father in Ekiti state disallows son who came from Lagos enter his house; says he must get tested for Coronavirus (Video)

A Nigerian father who resides in Ekiti state caused a dramatic scene after he denied access to his son who recently returned home from Lagos, which is the current epicenter of Coronavirus in the country.

The man who is reportedly a retired Road Safety officer was not going to be taking any chances as he asked his son to stay back in Lagos till the Coronavirus outbreak is curbed, but his son still went home in spite of his warning.

Upon arriving Abeokuta from Lagos State, the boy’s father insisted that he must get tested for Coronavirus or get isolated for 14 days before being allowed into his house.

He also added that he doesn’t want to be part of those that will complicate Coronavirus issues in Ekiti state just like the 29-year-old pregnant community health worker who died from Coronavirus after sneaking into Ekiti from Lagos state where she works.

Med Contour : Dr Anu allegedly freed after being arrested over botched surgery and death of former beauty queen.

Dr Anu, the infamous cosmetic surgeon of Med Contour who was arrested earlier this month for a botched surgery and other practices has allegedly been freed.

The doctor was taken in for questioning at Panti Police Station following a botched surgery she conducted which reportedly led to the death of former beauty Queen, Onwuzuligbo Nneka Miriam.

A friend of the late Miriam who has been running campaigns on social media to ensure that justice is served, disclosed that the doctor who has been on the run since her facility in Lekki area of Lagos state was shut down, conducted a plastic surgery on the late beauty queen same year she graduated from medical school and started her internship.

Dr Anu

Hello everyone! Most of you remember when this news broke out last year? Well, this was when late Queen Nneka Onwuzuligbo died after an infection from a botched liposuction and fat transfer surgery at Med Contour.

One point of correction in this story: Late Nneka was never taken to Vedic hospital. She was taken straight from Med Contour to LUTH, in an ambulance. Dr Anu went on the run & eventually came out from hiding. Since then, she has committed more acts of malpractices as can be seen in recent news. Her facility was sealed again two weeks ago by the FCCPC but she went to NMA to play victim & complain of harassment.
Great Nigerians, we need to find out a lot of things: Is Anu a Board-Certified Plastic/Cosmetic Surgeon? Which organization in Nigeria certified her to practice as a Plastic/Cosmetic Surgeon? Is she registered with NAPRAS (National Association of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgeons) Nigeria? Does getting a Bachelors degree in medicine and surgery automatically give you the Licence to practice as a Plastic/ Cosmetic Surgery? NOTE: Dr Anu performed this procedure on late Nneka in 2018, the same year she graduated from medical school and started her internship.

Dr Anu has a lot of questions to answer, including why she forged a letter and presented to LUTH emergency unit on arrival, claiming that Nneka was referred to LUTH from General Hospital, Odan. If she were a qualified and certified plastic/cosmetic surgeon, why did she forge a letter claiming the deceased Nneka was coming from General Hospital and not Med Contour??? We have LUTH’s medical report to prove her lies.
Although these kinds of surgeries are elective, please let us fight to bring unqualified, unprofessional and unethical Practioners to book. We are not doing this for ourselves. Let us do this for our loved ones, for our children, for our future. You never know if someone you know/love may be secretly battling with insecurities about their bodies. And if we don’t stop unqualified and unprofessional people like Anu, she will keep preying on those insecurities. God bless you all!

See giant asteroid ‘half the size of Mount Everest’ scientists say will fly by Earth today (photos)

In new astonishing reports, a giant asteroid will fly close to earth on Wednesday morning (European time) but will not collide with earth according to the National Space Agency (NASA).

The giant rock half the size of Mount Everest, is officially named 1998 OR2, and will fly by at almost 19,500 miles per hour today (29 April).

The Asteroid 1998 OR2 is thought to be sized between 1.8 and 4.1 kilometres in diameter which is roughly 0.5 to 2.5 miles and will be visible from Earth as it comes close to the planet and can be seen with a telescope as it can’t be seen with the naked eye.

Asteroid 1998 OR2 will come 3.9 million miles close to the earth’s surface, and the distance not considered near by a layman, is close enough to the earth according to scientists.

Close enough to be considered a “Near Earth Object” (NEO) by NASA.

Even though the asteroid won’t hit Earth, NASA unfortunately reckons there are still 22 space rocks that could hit Earth in the years to come.

Any fast moving space object that comes within around 4.65 million miles is considered to be “potentially hazardous” by NASA.

The space agency explained,

“Sentry is a highly automated collision monitoring system that continually scans the most current asteroid catalog for possibilities of future impact with Earth over the next 100 years.

“Whenever a potential impact is detected it will be analyzed and the results immediately published here, except in unusual cases where we seek independent confirmation.”

The asteroid flyby is expected to occur at 5:56 a.m. ET, according to NASA’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies. The center tracks Near-Earth Objects, or NEOs, that could collide with Earth.

NASA says they have been tracking this particular asteroid for 20 years, according to NASA.

The asteroid has a mask like wearing look, making it more interesting as the world battles Coronavirus with the use of face masks this period.

“The small-scale topographic features such as hills and ridges on one end of asteroid 1998 OR2 are fascinating scientifically,” said Anne Virkki, head of planetary radar at Arecibo Observatory, in a statement.

Arecibo Observatory is a National Science Foundation facility managed by the University of Central Florida

“But since we are all thinking about Covid-19, these features make it look like 1998 OR2 remembered to wear a mask.”

Popular Slumdog Millionaire and Life of Pi actor, Irrfan Khan dies at 53

Popular Bollywood movie star, Irrfan Khan, known internationally for his roles in Slumdog Millionaire, Jurassic World, and Life of Pi, has died at the age of 53.

Irrfan took his last breath on Wednesday, April 29, after battling a medical complication arising from colon infection, his spokesperson said in an official statement.

The actor was admitted to the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani hospital in Mumbai where he passed away. Irrfan is survived by wife Sutapa Sikder, and sons Babil and Ayan.

Irrfan Khan dies

Irrfan opened up on Twitter in 2018 that he was diagnosed with an endocrine tumour, a rare illness affecting cells that release hormones into the bloodstream. He later underwent treatment in a London hospital.

Two months after he opened up in a tweet, he wrote an open letter about his experience with the cancer treatment. In the letter, he spoke about the “intensity” of his pain and the “uncertainty” of life.

His death was announced in a statement released on Wednesday.

The statement reads,

“‘I trust, i have surrendered’; These were the some of the many words that Irrfan expressed in a heartfelt note he wrote in 2018, opening up about his fight with cancer. And a man of few words and an actor of silent expressions with his deep eyes and his memorable actions on screen.

“It’s saddening that this day, we have to bring forward the news of him passing away. Irrfan was a strong soul, someone who fought till the very end and always inspired everyone who came close to him.

“After having been struck by lightning in 2018 with the news of a rare cancer, he took life soon after as it came and he fought the many battles that came with it.

“Surrounded by his love, his family for whom he most cared about, he left for his heavenly abode, leaving behind truly a legacy of his own. We all pray and hope that he is at peace. And to resonate and part with his words he had said, ‘As if I was tasting life for the first time, the magical side of it’.”

Irrfan Khan dies

Nollywood stars and politicians have since taken to social media to mourn his death.

Filmmaker Shoojit Sircar tweeted his condolences for the actor, writing,

“My dear friend Irfaan. You fought and fought and fought. I will always be proud of you.. we shall meet again.. condolences to Sutapa and Babil.. you too fought, Sutapa you gave everything possible in this fight. Peace and Om shanti. Irfaan Khan salute.”

Actor Amitabh Bachchan, who worked with Irrfan in Piku tweeted,

“An incredible talent… a gracious colleague… a prolific contributor to the World of Cinema… left us too soon… creating a huge vacuum.”

Irrfan made his Bollywood debut with Mira Nair’s Salaam Bombay in 1988, and has worked in numerous films since then. He has also been part of many Hollywood projects, from Jurassic World to Slumdog Millionaire.

‘I felt bad for my husband when we were told we couldn’t have sex before marriage’ – Actress Stella Damasus

Nollywood actress Stella Damasus has taken on this topic in a recent discussion she had with a couple online and she spilled more about her marriage to film director, Daniel Ademinokan, while speaking on dating and sex.

According to her, courtship is a period when couples know each other as they get ready for forever in marriage.

The film star explained that the courtship period is when the foundation is properly built.

“Dating this person to a lot of people means sex and after immediately after that, marriage. they skip the actual dating and skip courtship. The courtship period is where that foundation should be built properly, where you are getting to know each other because you want to have a forever with that person,” she said.

According to her, the courtship period was very tough for her and her husband because they were instructed by their pastor that they must not be physically intimate.

“That period for us was very tough. I felt so sorry for this man because we were told specifically by our pastor at that time that under no circumstance must we have any physical interaction,” the mother of two revealed

“So, the man lamented and said how can I have a babe like this, and I can’t touch, I can’t look,” Stella said, noting that the period was a very hard one for her and her husband.

Apostle Suleman responds to Witches advocacy group who challenged him to heal a Covid-19 patient and get $1,000 reward

Nigerian clergyman, Apostle Johnson Suleman has replied Leo Igwe, director of Advocacy for Alleged Witches (AFAW) who challenged him to treat just one COVID-19 or HIV patient and get a reward of $1,000.

Igwe, a doctoral degree holder in religious studies from the University of Bayreuth, wrote in an open letter to Suleman recently,

“I am challenging the founder of Omega Ministries, Apostle Suleman, to demonstrate his so-called gift of healing under agreed medical and scientific conditions. I ask Suleman to heal a person with a confirmed case of COVID-19 and get a thousand US dollars. This challenge has become necessary because Apostle Suleman has in a recent video urged the government of Nigeria to allow him and other pastors with the gift of healing into the isolation centers so that they could pray and heal those who have been infected by the virus.”

Now, Apostle Suleman has taken to Twitter to respond to Leo Igwe’s challenge.

He wrote,

“A certain Leo igwe says I should heal covid19 and get a 1000 dollars..I will send you the details of those already healed.. so you can investigate.. I am not the healer, God is…to mention 1000 dollars, shows you are broke and poor..keep it..you need the money than me..

“Normally I wont reply critics..but the website he uses has been constantly writing against me for 3yrs non stop..all kinds of stories. also, I feel so ashamed to see some Christians joining the world to attack itself.. Not in my time..Jesus christ called herod a fox..(Luke 13.32.).

“A pastor speaks for the oppressed and gets arrested, you are silent. he feeds the hungry, you are silent..he employs hundreds of jobless folks you are silent yet you claim to be a Christian. he replies critics and you are quick to say he should behave like a man of God?.hypocrites.

“For those who say christ never replied critics, you dont know scriptures..matthew 12.24-27,Lk 13.31-32.. he replied when necessary..I am not of the stock of pastors, that keep quiet when you attack pastors,. you ‘ridicule’ and expect us to keep quiet..some silence means consent..”

“Proverbs 26.5 say ‘Answer a fool according to his folly. lest he be wise in his own conceit’…

“According to proverbs 26.5,we are not replying critics,we are correcting fools..”

Juventus star, Paulo Dybala ‘tests positive for Coronavirus for fourth time in six weeks’

Juventus star, Paulo Dybala has reportedly still got Coronavirus, more than five weeks after he first tested positive.

The Juventus forward who was among the first Serie A players to contract Coronavirus alongside team-mates Daniele Rugani and Blaise Matuidi, has had a total of four tests in six weeks as a result of his initial diagnosis, with his most recent coming back positive.

Dybala had confirmed on March 21 that he and his girlfriend, Oriana Sabatini had contracted COVID-19 after his first positive test for the disease.

Though Spanish programme El Chiringuito stated Dybala has had four tests in the last six weeks, it is unclear if Sabatini has also been tested or if either of them are still displaying symptoms.

The couple however seem to be in great spirit. Dybala’s Instagram story showed him working out in a home gym before doing a TikTok dance with his girlfriend, days after they welcomed dog Kaia to the family.

The Argentina international footballer had shared his experience with Coronavirus, which left him struggling to breathe. He said at that time;

“Luckily [we are] much better, these days we do not have any symptoms.

“I had stronger symptoms, I got tired very quickly, when I wanted to train, I was short of breath after five minutes. There we noticed that something was not right and through the tests the club did we were told that we were positive.

“From there we had more symptoms, such as cough, tired body and when we slept I felt very cold, but from the club they had told us that we were going to be fine so we had to be calm.”

Serie A teams, including Juventus, are scheduled to return to training on Monday, May 4. Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said;

“Players would be able to undertake training individually from 4 May, in groups from 18 May, and then we’ll evaluate if there are the conditions to allow the season to be completed.

“We need to complete all the discussions to ensure that if we do reach that stage, we’ll do so in the utmost safety and security.

“We are passionate about sport and don’t want our athletes to get sick.

“I’m passionate for football. Like many Italians, I initially found it strange that the championship could be interrupted or suspended but I think that even the most ardent fan understands that there wasn’t an alternative.”

Prank gone wrong! SA lady left devastated after pranking her boyfriend with fake pregnant test

A South African lady unknowingly put her relationship to a test when she decided to give her boyfriend a pregnancy scare and the result was far from what she’d expected.

@Spar_good on the social media platform, shared how she’d taken a positive pregnancy test image online and sent it to her boyfriend in a bid to prank him.

Upon hearing the news from his girlfriend, the man —as seen in the screenshots of their chat— was absolutely convinced that he wasn’t the father of his girlfriend’s unborn child and asked her to go to her baby daddy.

The guy quickly put on a defensive front by saying of the two times they had intercourse, he “never planted his seed in her” – things got escalated real quick when he began calling her names and telling her they’ll be breaking up.

Certainly not the conversation @Spar_good was aiming for, but it brought her to the realization that “her boyfriend never loved her”. She eventually put him out of his misery by telling him it was a prank but it was already too late as they’d both decided the fate of their relationship.

She however, in her post on social media says she’s not ready to be single but is confused on what to do… See the screenshots she shared below,

Detective Inspector Tony Kirk, of the Mets Specialist Crime Command, said;

“David’s family are going through unimaginable torment

“Within days his mother has seen the death of her husband and son; his sister has lost her brother and father, both are now heartbroken.

“David was a young man who had worked hard to put himself through university and, like his mother, worked hard for the community in the NHS.

“At this time we believe the only thing David did to be murdered was walk down a street.

“He was apparently approached by a group of men wearing masks and stabbed multiple times in a ferocious assault.

“I have no doubt this was a planned attack that singled out David because he happened to be in that area.

“David and his mother, who have done so much to help the community, now need the public to come forward and tell us what they know.

“If you have any information, please think of this young man and the suffering of his family and call us.

#Covid-19: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention adds six new virus symptoms

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, (CDC) has added six new symptoms to its existing list of symptoms for Coronavirus infectious disease 2019.

Before this recent development, the known symptoms of Coronavirus are fever, cough, and shortness of breath are indications that someone might have the disease caused by the novel Coronavirus.

But the CDC has now added six new conditions that may come with the disease, which are chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat and new loss of taste or smell.

According to CDC, the expanded symptoms list could prove important because with a limited number of test kits available, typically those seeking a test must first show symptoms.

NPR and other news outlets reported last month that loss of smell and taste were reported by some people with COVID-19. Patients with the disease caused by the coronavirus have also reported muscle pain, chills, and headache.

The symptoms usually appear within two to 14 days after exposure to the virus, the CDC says. It stresses the “emergency warning signs” for COVID-19 are trouble breathing, persistent pain or pressure in the chest, confusion, or inability to arouse. and bluish lips or face. People with any of these symptoms should seek medical attention immediately, the CDC says.

The coronavirus has proved highly contagious and potentially deadly, but the vast majority of people who become infected will show either no symptoms or only mild ones.

The U.S., which has the highest number of confirmed cases in the world, is poised to cross the 1 million mark in coming days, with the number of deaths from the disease surpassing the annual death toll for pneumonia and flu, according to the CDC.

Woman accuses hospital of stealing her baby in Lagos

A 31-year-old nurse, one Mrs. Faith Obinna, has accused doctors at the St. Raphael Divine Mercy Hospital in Ikorodu, Lagos State, of stealing her baby, moments after delivery.

In an interview with NewTelegraph, the new mum revealed that she used the Catholic hospital for her pre-natal care and that during her many doctor’s appointment, three scans were conducted and it was recorded that she had a set of twins.

She said it was shocking to her when she delivered on March 6 and only “one of her babies” was presented to her by the doctors.

She claims her baby was stolen in the labour room of the hospital before she could recover from anaesthesia.

“On the first day I registered at the hospital, one doctor Ade that attended to me, asked me to go for a scan. The scan showed twins. The pregnancy was then four months. The second scan was to determine the sex of the babies. One was a boy, but the technician couldn’t tell the sex of the other baby because its leg covered the organ part. I was later handed over to doctor Uzoma, who took care of me until delivery.

On the day of the delivery, they tried to send my husband away, but he refused to go home. He went out to wait. After the operation, they called my husband and told him that it was only one baby inside my womb. Even though I was feeling groggy, I only heard the cries of one baby. I asked my husband, where is the other baby, the staff asked me to calm down. Four days later, my husband and I decided to raise the alarm. The chief medical doctor of the hospital asked me to accept just one baby, I refused.” she said

Speaking further, she said,

“When I was about to be discharged, I asked for my scan results, they refused to give them to me. Rather, they hid my file. When we wanted to leave, they locked the gate against us.”

When the couple was eventually allowed to go, they narrated the incident to friends and family members who persuaded them to return to the hospital to demand the whereabouts of their baby.

Obinna said when she went back to the hospital, a reverend father and a reverend sister were invited to the meeting where the hospital staff claimed there was an error on the scan results.

“We asked for the scan result. They said that if they released the results, they wouldn’t like to see it on social media that it could affect the medical doctor and the hospital could be shut down. He said that what happened was scan error. I told them it was impossible. I know that scan error could occur in sex, but not where twins’ detention is concerned. I saw the babies with my two eyes. I know they are with one of my babies. The reverend asked us to have mercy. He promised to refund all money we had spent since I registered with the hospital. We refused.” Obinna said

When interviewed, the consultant gynaecologist in the hospitl, Dr Uzodinma, said he took delivery of Faith, along with six other doctors.

“First of all, it’s not my hospital, it’s a Catholic hospital. I’m a consultant gynaecologist with the hospital. Faith Obinna was my patient. I gave her my phone number; if I wanted to steal her baby, I wouldn’t have given her my number. The true situation of things is that in November 2019, I asked her to do a scan, which she did in the hospital, with one of our male staff. The scan showed two foetuses.” he said
