Couple whose wedding invitation card went viral for excluding reception from their wedding, gets surprise reception party from friends.
Usually, the norm at most weddings is for guests to move to the reception hall after the white wedding but interestingly, the young couple, Blessing and Adewale indicated otherwise for their wedding in Yaba.

The groom Adewale Yusuf, who is a tech guru, said ‘so the weekend was full of drama as our wedding IV trended because of our #NoReception decision. I’m glad my wife is laughing about it now, because it wasn’t funny over the weekend. Thanks to everyone that insulted or defended us, we’re happy with our decision’.
Explaining how he was tricked to a reception by his colleagues, Adewale Yusuf said they only wanted a small wedding but got dragged into a surprise wedding reception which was all paid for by his mentors and friends.
MY WIFE AND I HAD DECIDED TO NOT HAVE A RECEPTION PARTY AFTER OUR WEDDING. JUST CHURCH SERVICE, NOTHING BIG.
BUT, ON THE DAY OF THE EVENT AFTER WE HAD TAKEN OUR PICTURES, I WAS TRICKED TO THE OFFICE BY MY MENTORS AND TO MY SURPRISE MY TEAM AND FRIENDS HAD PLANNED A SURPRISE RECEPTION PARTY FOR US.
I HAVE NEVER BEEN THAT SURPRISED IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. I WAS SO SHOCKED, THAT IT TOOK ME HOURS TO RECOVER FULLY. ONE OF THE MOST HEARTWARMING THING WAS THAT THE TEAM MEMBERS WHO HAVE MOVED ON FROM THE COMPANY, CONTRIBUTED TOWARDS THE RECEPTION, AS WELL., he wrote

The Head of House challenge started, on Monday, with a brief for the Pepper Dem Gang from Biggie and was quite simple and at the same time complex. Housemates were made to throw small balls into a lineup of cups filled with water.
All of them except Diane and Frodd made it to the second round of the game. At the end, only Elozonam, Ike, Mercy and Omashola made it to the third one. The fourth one saw Omashola out. After 4 more rounds, it remained Ike and Mercy.
Biggie gave them the option of a shared HOH tenure but only one of them could have immunity so they had to discuss between themselves.
Mercy gave up the immunity to Ike. As is the custom, Ike earned herself the immunity privilege for the week, while he and Mercy won 250 Bet9ja coins each. They decided to share the bedroom privilege with each other.

This past weekend would forever be remembered in Bobrisky’s life, after the authorities halted his 28th birthday party due to security reasons.
And now a Lagos car dealer has seized Bobrisky’s new car over unpaid balances.
The car dealer in his post on social media claimed Bobrisky bought the car on credit, making just a part payment on the car and narrated how difficult it was for him to get back his car, despite trying everything possible to settle the issue with Bobrisky amicably.
He wrote:
#bobrisky222 please pay your balance and you get you car re-delivered immediately.
.
Have been more than nice in condoling your attitudes and still very nice to tell my agent to go ahead and deliver the car to you just so you can use it for your birthday.
.
My agent had to go to the police station to write series of statements and provide all necessary documents before the car was released to him; as the location it was kept was already sealed up by the police.
.
We had a written agreement and it states that we still have full security hold on the car until all payments has been fully made. Gave you series of discount on this particular car just to support your brand.
.
For the record we’ve delivered cars to over two hundreds Nigerians and it’s always been a very smooth and hassle free transaction.
.
I know you are really tensed right now and am not happy either about what happened about your birthday. I told you i will still send my support whichever way I can.
.
So I don’t really get the part of bad luck! Iet me just assume its anger that made you say all this. Peace and love Bob! #mrjayautos
How Did Nigeria Do In This Year’s Africa Cup Of Nations?
The Africa Cup Of Nations is a fantastic tournament that took place this year in Egypt. The tournament lasted throughout June and some of July and has now come to an end with Algeria winning the cup.
Of course, our home nation Nigeria put on a really great performance throughout the tournament and are expected to do even better in the future. Here, we are going to look at how Nigeria performed in the 2019 Cup of Nations tournament. Keep reading to find out more about how this tournament went for Nigeria.
Group Stages
At the start of the competition, Nigeria were placed in Group, along with Madagascar, Guinea and Burundi. If you had of looked at NetBet Nigeria and the odds at this stage, then you would have seen that Nigeria were given strong odds of making it through to the next round. Of course, they did manage to come second in their group with 6 points just under Madagascar with 7 points.
Round Of 16
Once the Nigerian national team managed to make it through to the round of 16 knockouts, they shone brightly again. Beating Cameroon 3-2 in this stage helped to show just how impressive this squad is. The goals in this match were scored by Ighalo who scored two and Iwobi with one goal.
Quarter-Finals
Doing this country proud, Nigeria managed to make it through to the quarter finals stage of the tournament and came up against South Africa on 10th July 2019. Two goals coming from Chukwueze and Troost-Ekong meant that Nigeria were able to beat South Africa and progress in the competition. This was very exciting for the nation as the team were doing us proud during the Africa Cup Of Nations.
Semi-Finals
Sadly, the semi-finals saw the downfall of Nigeria and led them to finish their time in the competition. This happened when they came up against Algeria on 14th July and lost 2-1. This was a very close result with Igahlo scoring once again with a penalty.
Luckily, in the third-place playoff round, Nigeria managed to beat Tunisia who had lost to Senegal with 1-0 and took the third-place spot. This is a massive achievement for Nigeria who lost out on the top two spots to great teams Alergia and Senegal.
Final Verdict
As you can see, the Nigerian national team done incredibly well in the recent Africa Cup Of Nations tournament. This tournament has seen many great teams fall in the past and Nigeria have managed to come in third place which shows just how hard they have worked in training for this competition.
We are hoping that in the next Africa Cup Of Nations, we see Nigeria progress right through to the final and walk away with the title. For now, we look towards other matches on the world stage and hope that the Nigerian national football team can continue to progress as they have been over the past few years.

Controversial Ghanaian marriage and relationship counselor, Cyril George Carstensen Lutterodt has once again stirred the pool of controversy by saying there’s nothing wrong with men impregnating their maids while still married.
The controversial relationship counselor backed his assertion by stating some women are infertile or barren. According to Lutterodt, men shouldn’t be criticized when they take the bold step of impregnating their wives because she can’t have kids.
Also pointing out that some women have bad characters and end up not playing their role as wives, Counselor Lutterodt stated that a man falling in love with his maid because he wants a peaceful home is a walk in the right direction.
“If a wife is not exhibiting a good character and the maid is doing such, then what makes it wrong for the husband to make a move by going for the maid.
Every man wants peace and so if your wife is not giving you that, and your maid is, then there is nothing wrong with you going in for her”, Counselor Lutterodt added.
