A Nigerian lady who hails from Enugu state, has shared before and now photos of herself as she narrates how she was bullied for having crossed eyes, until she resorted to corrective surgery.
@Elsea20 on Twitter shared how she was called “Anya 4:30” and how people were being cruel with their words — the situation was so perturbing for Elsea that it lead her into depression.
Elsea shared how on a particular day, she left her class in tears and went to her mum’s office with her mother also crying with her.
Later, after researching online and seeing that the condition can be corrected through surgery, she told her father that she wanted to have surgery.
The surgery was eventually done abroad and her sight was corrected. She said her new look boosted her confidence.
She went on to share photos of her eyes before and after the surgery and advised people to be kinder with their words, because they have no idea what others are going through.

The Enugu state government has confirmed three new cases of Coronavirus in the state.
The State’s Commissioner for Health Obi Emmanuel Ikechukwu who lamented over the continous violation of the interstate travel ban, said the new cases include a widow from Igbo-Etiti Local Government Area of the State who smuggled her late husband’s corpse into Enugu State from Lagos for burial.
Ikechukwu also revealed that two Coronavirus patients have tested negative for the virus after undergoing successful treatment.
He said;
“ 2 more COVID-19 patients in Enugu test negative, as State records 3 new positive cases with travel history
“The Enugu State Ministry of Health wishes to announce that 2 more cases out of the previously active COVID-19 cases undergoing treatment in Enugu State have tested negative and are being assessed for discharge from the isolation and treatment centre.
“However, the state has unfortunately received 3 new results of persons who have tested positive for the virus.
“This means that Enugu State has had 15 cases in all, with 9 active cases and 6 cases discharged after testing negative.
“The two cases that have tested negative are case number 5 and her daughter who is case number 9.
“The 3 new positive cases, who entered Enugu State illegally during this ban on inter-state transportation, are as follows:
“Case 13 is a 25-year-old man from Ondo State who lives in Lagos and made his way first to Akwa Ibom, then to Rivers State and finally to Obollo Afor in Udenu LGA of Enugu State, all within the period of closure of all land boundaries and inter-state movement. He developed symptoms while at Obollo Afor, the health authorities were alerted, he was tested and his result came out positive.
“Case 14 is a 38 year old male, from Okpuje in Nsukka LGA, who lives in Nasarawa State, and found his way back to Enugu State during the same period of lockdown.
“On suspecting he may have contacted the virus, he initially went into self-quarantine in a hotel at Nsukka. He subsequently developed symptoms and alerted the health authorities. He was tested and his test result also came back positive.
“Case 15 is a 28 year old female and a widow who hails from Igbo-Etiti Local Government Area, Enugu State and lives in Lagos State with her husband. She recently lost her husband in Lagos and was able to smuggle her husbands corpse back to Enugu State for burial, despite the lockdown in Lagos State and the national ban on inter-state movement . Her actions raised suspicion and the health authorities were alerted. She was subsequently tested and her result came back positive.
“These unfortunate figures are coming up as a result of individuals who have deliberately disobeyed the lockdown order and inter-state transportation as ordered by the Federal and State governments.
“In these times, we all need to comply strictly with all measures and regulations and exercise restraint from behaviours that will put others at risk.
“The good people of Enugu State are still encouraged to continue to comply with the directives of the Federal and Enugu State governments on containment of the spread of COVID-19 as well as the precautionary measures in the public health advisory of the Federal Ministry of Health, the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, and the Enugu State Ministry of Health.”

Among NOTE 7 diverse shooting modes, super stabilized action shot is another highlight. The camera lenses help to achieve this shot by accurately sensing videos without the blur and shakiness; instantly immortalizing otherwise fleeting moments of fun. Users are presented with the power to take clear videos and “pause” the action for a brief moment. Even videos taken from a boat out on a rocky sea or that of a skiing fanatic jumping off a snowy slope will be able to fully express the awe-inspiring motion of the moment with beautiful precision.
Vidhance, a prominent software developed by Imint, a Swedish company that originally developed the technology for military grade aerial shots, acts as the behind-the-scene hero and gives NOTE 7’s already impressive camera capabilities this powerful boost.

As video-based content creation and communication continue their proliferation, we are developing tools that will unleash the next wave of creativity and human connection.” commented Andreas Lifvendahl, Chief Executive Officer of Imint.
The addition of Vidhance software greatly elevates the quality of the produced content and creates an even better end-user camera experience on NOTE 7, allowing visually-oriented users to indulge in a world of creativity.
NOTE 7’s Slow Motion Function Gives Users the Chance to Experience Even More of Life’s Beauty
NOTE 7 is equipped with the ability to take slow motion videography, which allows users to bear witness to incredible events that they never would have been able to see themselves, such as the spray of rainbow-tinted liquid as a bubble pops, or the surface tension of water wrapping around a fish as it emerges from a pond.
Slow motion has the ability to create more emotional and romantic videography, as it allows hyper focus on only a few seconds of reality. In an increasingly fast-paced world, with NOTE 7 slow motion video function, users will find it refreshing to slow things down and appreciate life’s beauty for a few seconds.
Users will no doubt be inspired by their ‘newly-developed’ shooting ability to capture scenes and moments even in notoriously difficult situations thanks to NOTE 7. The NOTE 7’s video camera lens acts as a window to the future of creativity and opens the door to previously untold possibilities, just as Infinix has always aimed to bring “the future” to its consumers living in the “now”.

Olympic sprint legend Usain Bolt has become a father for the first time after welcoming the birth of a baby girl with partner Kasi Bennett.
Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness appeared to confirm the birth of Bolt’s daughter in a social media post.
“Congratulations to our sprint legend Usain Bolt and Kasi Bennett on the arrival of their baby girl!” Holness wrote on Twitter.
Local media reports said the couple’s daughter was born on Sunday.
No further details were immediately available.
Bolt, 33, had revealed he was expecting a daughter with Bennett on social media in March, jokingly warning any future suitors to steer clear of his daughter.
“Any man! Any boy! Don’t play with me!” the eight-time Olympic gold medallist quipped.
Bolt, the world record holder at 100m and 200m, retired from athletics in 2017 after a decade of dominance in men’s sprinting.
At the 2016 Olympics, Bolt became the only man to win the 100m and 200m titles at three consecutive Olympics.

A 39-year-old Cameroonian Pastor identified as Frankline Ndifor has died of coronavirus after he laid his hands on dozens of confirmed and suspected cases.
Frankline was also a candidate in the central African state of Cameroon’s presidential election in 2018.
Not too long ago, sufferers who had symptoms of the virus had flocked to his church, after he claimed to cure the virus.
Ndifor had laid his hands on them and prayed for their healing, Voice of America News Reports.
Immediately after his death, his members and supporters blocked entrances to his home in the capital city of Doula for about eight hours as medical staff tried to retrieve his body on Saturday morning.
Dr Gaelle Nnanga, who was called to treat Ndifor after he started suffering severe respiratory difficulties a week after falling ill with the virus, said the pastor died ten minutes after treatment.
The Governor of the coastal region said a police force had to be deployed when supporters blocked the entrance to his home and claimed the pastor was on a spiritual retreat with God so could not be buried.
They sang and prayed for his resurrection throughout the weekend. He was buried in front of the house on the day of his death.
Follower Rigobert Che said ‘the prophet’ prayed for him and several dozen others who had been diagnosed with or were suspected of having coronavirus.
‘This is a pastor that has been laying hands [on the sick] and claiming that he cures COVID-19,’ Che said. ‘If you, the person that claims that you are curing COVID-19, you are dead, what about the fellow people that were affected by the COVID-19?
Twilight fans are mourning the death of Gregory Tyree Boyce, 30, and his Nigerian girlfriend Natalie Adepoju, 27, after they were mysteriously found dead in their condo in Las Vegas.
The Las Vegas Medical Examiner’s office confirmed that the couple were found dead on May 13. The cause of their deaths have not been revealed.
A source told E! News that “Greg’s cousin woke up and noticed that Greg’s car was still at the house. He was worried because Greg was to be in LA. His cousin went to check on him and found them.”
The source says that prior to his death, Gregory was “really focused and handling a lot of business.” And though he had moved to Las Vegas to help his mother, the insider reveals Gregory “would commute to LA for acting jobs and to see his daughter.”
A second source adds, “Greg was definitely a person who loved life and [was] super positive… super animated, really witty, he was the life of the party. I will definitely miss him. He was one of my funniest friends in LA and made my experience there really memorable.”
Insiders told TMZ that an unknown white powdery substance was found at the scene, but authorities are yet to confirm.
Boyce was known for his role as Tyler Crowley in the first Twilight franchise movie.
His Nigerian girlfriend, Natalie Adepoju who has been dating the actor for just over a year has a young son named Egypt, while Boyce is survived by his 10-year-old daughter, Alaya.
In a statement shared to a GoFundMe, her family described her as being a “loving daughter, niece, sister, cousin, and friend.” They continued, “Natalie had so much life to live [and] we are saddened that her life was cut short. Natalie leaves behind her one and only baby boy Egypt, her father, two brothers and one sister, and a host of family and friends who love her dearly.”

The DPO also followed up yesterday to ensured that the father is found. There is no way the police can keep the child with them. They have made her to write an undertaking even with a surety who promised she will never do it again.’‘ she said

If you’re an ardent Nigerian Twitter user, you probably musta known about the beautiful love story that once was Tife and Sansa.
The pair were probably everything you wanted in a couple, with how they were always serving goals on social media, professing their love for each other and promising a happily forever after.
Yup, this was basically how they were, in a nutshell
So it definitely came as a surprise and a trending topic when it was discovered that their “perfect” relationship had hit the rocks on the basis of infidelity from one party, rape, abuse, infidelity too on the other party.
The couple have been trending on the microblogging platform lately as a lot of people are still in awe over the situation and most reacting to the circumstances that led to their breakup.
The whole drama began when Boluwatife Fabunmi @tife_fabunmi took demeaning swipes at his significant other, Sansa Oroboghene @_Oroboghene on the timeline saying things like “he’s had his share of her, he’s not having sex with her again” and when a follower referenced them for relationship goals, he asked why the follower was “cursing” him.
All these —which a lot of people later deemed immature— led people to realizing that something was wrong with the couple’s relationship.
This then triggered reactions from tweeps who wanted to know what was up with the couple’s relationship. With little or no reaction from either of the couple, it led people to believe that speculations of their relationship hitting the rocks were true.
It then became a trend on the platform and this prompted Sansa to react to it with a thread detailing what went down in their relationship which led to them breaking up.
Sansa was not favourably disposed to airing details of her relationship to the public but when the matter was seemingly getting out of hand, she had to say something.
According to Sansa’s narrative, she was the one who broke up with Tife, even though people felt it was the other way round, she claimed that the Twitter influencer, in course of their relationship was an abuser, a rapist, a blackmailer and so on.
One time, before the whole messy drama, Sansa suffered a nude leak on the platform — a rather embarrassing situation which she’ll later come to discover and claim was perpetrated by her ex, Tife.
She eventually found the courage to leave the relationship —about two months ago— because of the abuse that she faced in it. Even when Tife begged for her to come back to him, she didn’t because she was scared for her life.
Sansa went on to reveal that she was thrown into an emotional roller coaster over the whole situation as she suffered from anxiety, paranoia, PTSD and all. She then points out blatantly that she never cheated on Tife and only loved him as best as she could.
She wrote,
“All the lies, rumours about me that have been going on? That I cheated? That he broke up? All lies started by him? He broke up? He broke up? Lmmmaaoooo! I left his fxcking abusive a**!
“He kept asking me to come back but I could not go back because I was scared for my life!!! I was legit f*cking scared that if I let myself believe he’d changed, I’d never be able to get out again.
“The hell I’be been through! The subs! The stalking! The trolling! The body shaming and slut shaming! The hate mails! The depression! Suicidal thoughts and attempts! The anxiety! Paranoia! PTSD!
“I have held my peace, while my abuser pranced around spoiling my name orchestrating Tl drags! Claiming to be the better person!
“Held my peace yesterday when all the lies swarm around about me!! What did I f*cking do to you guys? Because I made my relationship public knowledge? Did y’all f*cking think you actually knew what was going on in the relationship?
*You had no idea! You had no f*cking idea!!! I have held my peace! I have been silent!! Because these whole thing is too big a mess! Too much than any of you can understand! Now I have my face pasted on gossip blogs and labeled a cheater? This is the last straw! The last goddamn strong! I am done!
“I am done keeping quiet and hiding off the Tl while I deal with my pain in private. You people wanted a story? There it is!
“I NEVER CHEATED ON ANYONE WITH ANYBODY, MALE OR FEMALE. I only ever loved Boluwatife Fabunmi And was there for him as best as I knew how to. What did I get in return?
“I was shamed! Ridiculed! Abused! Blackmailed! Raped! Disrespected! Cheated on! Over and over in the relationship until I finally found the strength to leave and ever since I left, I have been haunted! Tormented!
*Enough is enough! Get off my back! Get off my f*cking back! Gosh! I hate this place! I don’t want your belief or stinky fake sympathy! I don’t expect my assaulter to accept any of these truths but he will always know, as I will always know who the only person who speaks any truth is.
“I’m not a victim. I’m a survivor. I survived him and yes, now I’m having a mental break down so go ahead. Have a field day but get off my f*cking back!”
Few moments after her thread, Tife then took to his page to simply state that all her claims were untrue and in light of the derogatory saga, he’ll be taken legal actions soon.
He wrote,
In view of the recent accusations against me by OROBOGHENE COMFORT who happens to be my Ex-girlfriend, I stand to refute these claims stating that they’re totally Untrue and all in a bid to ruin my reputation
I will be taking necessary Legal steps to Clear my name.
Their whole story has left a lot of people in awe as to how what seemed like the perfect relationship met a really bitter and sour end.
The couple are still trending on the microblogging platform as at the time of filing this post.

According to reports, the Nigerian soldier who featured in a viral video where he was impressively doing the ‘leg work’ dance, has allegedly been arrested.
The NAF soldier who was masked-up, was recorded while dancing to singer Wurld’s ‘Mad’ — the video eventually went viral with people hailing his impressive dance moves.
A Twitter user, @GhenhisKhan recently alleges that the officer has now been arrested. Singer, Wurld also reacted, requesting for his release with a hashtag #FreeNAFOfficer.
“The song “MAD” by @thisisWurlD feat SARS, got futher free publicity because of the military guy (NAF), who was dancing to it, although the song is very “Sweet” and of international standard. We have been told the the military guy has been arrested.” the Twitter user wrote.
He continued while tagging the Nigerian Army;
“All I see is a combatant fancing away his stress at the front while keeping Nigeria safe from Boko Haram and other forms of insecurity. It is plain madness for anyone to arrest him for dancing to a tune that said “dealing with my stress and your stress and you know”
@thisisWurlD @HQNigerianArmy @DefenceInfoNG if it is indeed true that you arrested this officer for this then it is important that you release him immediately.
His mere dancing to this tune has earned @thisisWurlD 1.3m views on @YouTube“
Fast rising singer Wurld also got a DM asking him to speak up for the officer. See Wurld’s reaction below….
“hope it’s not true that this awesome guy got arrested for posting this video of himself on duty. This elevated my mood and I hope we can help get him out if the information is true . Bembelembe! Spread the word ?? #MAD #FreeNAFOfficer #Afrosoul“

There have been strange rumours and unfounded news making rounds on social media in recent times.I want all believers of good news to know that, it is all lies and a picture of how the peddlers of the evil news would have loved our love story to turn out. I would have loved to maintain silence, however, due to concerns being expressed by well meaning people something has to be said. Now, the gospel truth is that I have been busy with ministry off the social media space and you’d all agree with me that with the ongoing pandemic which suddenly sprung up on all of us, only means more work needs to be done. I can’t sit still (as nobody privileged enough should) and this isn’t a time for social media presence but a time that calls for solemnity. Hence my break from what people now call normal. Finally, as duty will have me do, I have been in and out of the palace doing Gods bidding.With all being said, I am compelled to ask the following questions :
Why can’t people verify that which is the truth ?
Why do people believe more in falsehood and negativity?
Well, the bible has something to say about them in Psalm 2:1-12. Now i say to you all, please disregard and jettison every fake and malicious news about me and my husband (Ooni Adeyeye Babatunde Enitan Ogunwusi) for ours is a love no earthly force is strong enough to break,we are very fine and healthy
I will leave you with this “please be comforted and know that boredom is a killer and people do unimaginable things when they are” Peace and love always
Nigerian Afro-fusion singer, Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, better known by his stage name, Burna Boy has given the reason why he feels people hate him.
The 29-year-old self-acclaimed African Giant says surely, people love him, but they hate him because he tells them what they need to hear and not what they want to hear.
He wrote on Snapchat,
“They Love me but they hate me, because I tell them what they need to hear and now what they want to hear”
Sometime in January, South African rapper, AKA revealed that he never hated Burna Boy — the two entertainers had an online back and forth as they had varying opinions on the xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa.
Their disagreement was one of 2019’s major celebrity rifts with AKA demanding an apology from Burna Boy as he asked the latter to prove that he is indeed the African Giant.
However, AKA came forward to say he does not hate Burna Boy.
Popular Nigerian Singer Yemi Alade has taken to her social media page to send a special message to those who are always quick to flaunt their ‘online glory’.

Her post on micro-blogging website, twitter, reads ;
“A lot of online glory, but no one wins in real life. I pray for more wins in real life for us all”.
Alot of online glory, but no wins in real life. I pray for more wins in REAL for us all. ❤

Songstress, Simi has shared her thoughts about the challenges most women face in their journey to becoming successful in the society.
The singer took to her Twitter page recently to state that women are so strong and sweat blood for a spot at a table that disrespects their sweat.
She went on to add that women also end up convincing people that they deserve a spot at the table.
She tweeted,
If I didn’t vent, I woulda stayed mad. How’s ur day going?
I woke up angry today cos of a conversation I had before bed. Women are so strong. So OBVIOUSLY strong. You sweat blood for a spot at a table that disrespects your sweat. Then you spend EVERY SINGLE DAY convincing people you belong there. And the damn table isn’t even all that.
And when you say “Fuck it. My life, my rules.” They ask why. It’s because it never ends. Nothing is ever enough. And complaining is a waste of time. This is why most of the women that STAY winning have to win on their own terms. Ass-kissing is exhausting.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome’s TV Channel, Loveworld News has been sanctioned by UK broadcast regulator, Ofcom.
The sanction was imposed following the broadcast of Pastor Chris Oyakhilome’s unsubstantiated claim of 5G being the cause of the Coronavirus pandemic.
Last month, the founder of Loveworld Ministries had made an outrageous claim that the outbreak of Coronavirus is part of the plan for installation of 5G technology and creation of a one world order.shes.
In addition, the infamous Hydroxychloroquine was also presented on the Christian network as a “cure” for Covid-19, without acknowledging that its effectiveness and safety as a treatment was clinically unproven, or making clear that it has potentially serious side effects.
In a statement released on Monday May 18, Ofcom stressed that the unsubstantiated claims in both these programmes were not sufficiently put into context, they risked undermining viewers’ trust in official health advice, with potentially serious consequences for public health.
The statement read in parts;
“Loveworld News featured potentially harmful statements about the coronavirus pandemic and adequate protection was not provided to viewers. Additionally, statements were not presented with due accuracy.”
Ofcom said Loveworld which is broadcast on satellite in the UK, would be required to show a statement of the watchdog’s findings. The UK agency further stated that it is considering imposing further sanctions.
This is coming after London Live and radio station Uckfield FM were sanctioned for airing similar false claims without it being sufficiently challenged.
