Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may land special royal jobs in Africa after the birth of their first child.
The new hybrid role could see the Duke and Duchess of Sussex combine Commonwealth and charity work and promoting Britain, but take them out of the UK for at least two to three years.
It would allow Harry, 34, and Meghan, 37, a break from divisions that have rocked the royals in recent months, it is claimed. A source told The Sunday Times: “Discussions are at an early stage, but the plan is to find a new way of using their soft power abilities, most likely in Africa.”
A decision on where royal “rock stars” Harry and Meghan would be based is not due until 2020, The Sunday Times reports. But the Duke of Sussex has strong links to Africa and spent his 2004 gap year in Lesostho, where he started a charity. Harry and Meghan are said to have fallen in love in Botswana, which the prince refers to as his ‘second home’.
It’s double the giggles and double the grins, and double the trouble if you’re blessed with twins and in the case of these Nigerian twin brothers who are set to get married to their brides on the same day, it is double Blessing.
Identified simply as “Taiwo and Kehinde”, the two brothers are set to walk up to the alter side by side as they shared simple yet amazing photos in recognition of their big day ahead.

There was chaos after a man was apprehended in Ibadan, Oyo state capital, for having a human skeleton in his possession. It was gathered that the suspect, a car wash attendant identified as Ismaila Raji was nabbed by residents last week while he was trying to offload a dried corpse in a nearby bush in the vicinity.
According to Double A Media, this same man was caught at the second gate of the University of Ibadan sometimes ago and thereafter, at Benjamin, Eleyele road recently for same crime.
The suspect in his confession reportedly revealed that, he hails from Gbodu compound at Molete Bode, Ibadan and he was nabbed by the residents after killing somebody at Olorunsogo.
He confessed that he sprayed a chemical that he bought on the corpse to decay fast without oozing foul odour after he killed the victim that Friday to prevent suspicion of people.
The suspect said; “Ismaila Raji is my name and I hall from Gbodu Compound at Molete Bode. I am working as a car wash attendant at UI, along Bodija road. I was nabbed for killing someone at Olorunsogo. When I was in Olorunsogo, the man persuade me to stay in his house.

“Afterwards, he tried to strangle me but I overpowered him by tangling him to death instead, with a towel.“Then I brought his corpse to Olorunsogo by a waste disposal truck which I bribed the driver, Fatai Shaibu who lives at kosodo area of Jawesola with three hundred thousand naira (N300,00) for the operation.

Reality TV star, Leo Dasilva in new tweets, disclosed that his family is pushing him to get married just after his cousin got married recently.
The reality show star who was formerly linked to Cee-C and also had a romantic affair with Alex, his Whatsapp chats is flooded with messages of getting married. Leo Dasilva who disclosed that his family is pushing him to get married, tweeted;
My cousin got married yesterday, the amount of “you should be next” on what’s app for the next one month like he isn’t 2 years older than I am
The reality star also added;
With the kind of stories I heard yesterday, I think it’s important to never rush into any commitments. It’s one thing to get to know someone, it’s another thing to get to understand the person. Another point, time doesn’t define how well you can get to know or understand anyone.
You can only know someone to an extent by the actions they show you. You might never understand some other things because they won’t open up to you and it’s not your fault. They might not feel safe with you and you might not be right for them. Accept that.
Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II celebrates her birthday on Sunday, marking 93 years in the public glare.
Here are five facts about Britain’s oldest and longest-reigning monarch.
– Longevity –
Over 80 per cent of Britons has not experienced life under any other monarch, having not been born when Elizabeth ascended the throne on February 6, 1952, according to the UK Office of National Statistics.
She has reigned over 14 prime ministers, coming to the throne during the tenure of Winston Churchill.
She has also met with 11 of the 12 US presidents in office and signed more than 3,500 bills into law.
On her birthday, the Queen will be 11 years and four months older than any British monarch in history, and at 67 years and 74 days, will be the longest serving by three years and 224 days.
– Birth –
The Queen was born on April 21, 1926, at 17 Bruton Street in London’s upmarket Mayfair neighbourhood, which is now a high-end Chinese restaurant whose signature dishes include “Roasted silver cod with Champagne”.
She has another official birthday on the second Saturday in June, to celebrate the landmark publicly.
The double birthday tradition was started by King George II in 1748, who wanted to have a summer celebration.
– Animals –
The monarch has been an animal lover all her life, and is particularly fond of horses and dogs.
She has owned more than 30 corgi dogs, her favourite breed, and even invented a new breed, the dorgi — a cross between a corgi and a dachshund.
She inherited several thoroughbred racing horses after her father King George VI died in 1952 and her rides have won more than 1,600 races.
The 93-year-old has also owned an elephant, black jaguars and a crocodile — all gifts that were looked after in zoos — and due to archaic laws, still owns all unmarked mute swans and “royal fish” in Britain, including dolphins and sturgeons.
– Tax –
Although not legally obliged to pay tax, Elizabeth chose in 1992 to start voluntarily paying income tax on her private earnings amid public grumblings about the cost of restoring the family’s fire-damaged Windsor Castle.
– Tech savvy –
Despite the tradition and pomp of the family, the Queen has been comfortable with developing technologies ever since serving as a truck mechanic in World War II.
She sent her first email in 1976, sent a message taken to the moon by astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin in 1969, first tweeted in 2014 and made her first Instagram post last month.
Her 1953 coronation was the first to be televised and, in 2012, her annual Christmas speech was made available on podcast.
The love story between this Nigerian man and his beautiful fiancee may leave you in tears.
Seven years after their wedding ceremony was delayed due to a ghastly motor accident.
The man who identifies as Zabrang Shehu, was involved in a ghastly motor accident in 2012.. which forced his wedding to his partner, Rahab Mercy Yohanna to be postponed.
Seven years after the unfortunate incident, the loyal couple are set to get married on Saturday, April 27, 2019, at the same Church where the wedding had been billed to take place in 2012.
Read the details of what happened as shared by Facebook user Emmanuel Junior Zakka:
Zabrang Shehu was a U02… ABU student – that is he was admitted in the year 2002. He studied Archaeology and was the best graduating student of his class; he graduated with a very good Second Class Upper Degree (2:1). Before he gained admission to study Archeology in ABU, he attended the famous Federal College of Chemical and Leather Technology (a.k.a. Leather Research), Samaru, Zaria: the school Opposite the ABU Main Gate. There, too, he was the best graduating student with an Upper Credit and National Diploma in Leather Technology.
Expectedly, and indeed not surprisingly, Zabrang got two job offers the same year, 2012, before he suffered a setback in that ghastly motor accident that nearly claimed his life and therefore he couldn’t pick either of the jobs – yes he had to forfeit them both because of his ill health.
After my National Youth Service (NYSC) in 2008, I met this lady by name Rahab Mercy Yohanna in Kaduna. We were (and still are) both members of the same Church – Living Water Anglican Church, Ungwan Pama. Before I met her, something happened. I went home in 2011 and informed my parents that my wedding would be on 28th December, 2012. That was a date I had fixed by faith because at that time I had not found the woman to marry yet. It was a faith declaration of some sort. That was on September 27, 2011, to be exact.
When I met Mercy, I told her my intentions and we agreed to pray about it. A month later we were courting. After a while we went for the usual test – phenotype, genotype and the rest. When it was confirmed that we were good to go, I then took the next step and informed my pastor, then Rev A.A. Imade (now Venerable Imade). He is now at Bagado Church. He prayed for us and asked what my intentions were and I told him I wanted to settle down. He then became my marital counsellor and he is my spiritual father even today.
Next, I took Mercy home to Gada Biyu, my home town, for my parents to see her. That was in December of 2011. At the time she was going for her Higher National Diploma, HND, at Nuhu Bamali Zaria. On Friday, 6th April, 2012, we went to the motor garage to board a car to travel to the village for proper introduction at my fiancée’s place, Gora Gida. At that time I was the Youth President of my Church and a lady in my church was getting married the following day, Saturday, April 7, 2012. I was to represent the church at the wedding at Zagom. So I had programmed to attend the wedding and then head to Gora the next, Sunday, April 8, for the introduction proper.
Meanwhile at the garage in Sabon Tasha, only two people were left for the car that was loading passengers, an Opel, to get full before takeoff. As my fiancée stepped into the car, I followed suit. No sooner had I sat in that car than I felt something within me telling me not to get into that car with her. I now disembarked and told her that we were not traveling in the same car. She asked why and I told her I was sorry but my spirit was not at peace with it. I bought bread and gave her to take home for me because she would get to my house before me.
As we were having some discussion before takeoff, a friend of mine, Mr Polycarp, an Igbo guy, called and told me that he was in Kaduna with his 14-seater bus from Enugu; that we should use it to go home so that we could pick some people to accompany us for the introduction on Sunday. So my friend, Mann (Simon Marcus ), also called that he and his fiancée (now his wife with two kids) were coming from Zaria; that Polycarp had called and told him we were going together. We agreed that I would wait for them so that we go in Polycarp’s bus together.
Even with the free bus, I still told my fiancée she should go ahead of me in the car she had already boarded. The last passenger came and they left. I had a strong conviction that we couldn’t go together no matter what. So I waved her farewell and crossed to the other side of Sabo garage to wait for Polycarp to arrive.
Interestingly, the day, 6th April, was a ‘Good Friday’ and what happened later explains just how the experience of Good Friday became my own. There were passengers everywhere on that day, as people were traveling home for the Easter celebration. We then decided to pick a few passengers to fill the empty spaces in the bus since we were heading home. There was no conductor and so I was the one closing and opening the door for incoming passengers.
Something happened as we were about to start the journey. A man came from nowhere and said he must join our bus. We insisted that he wouldn’t but he kept disturbing us to help him. Polycarp asked someone passengers to move to the engine side of the bus and let the man take a seat but shockingly the man demanded that he must seat where I was sitting. I couldn’t believe such troublesomeness. I was angry. We were all angry because it did not make sense to any us one bit. Why should this man dictate to us what we should do in our own bus? Why should someone we agreed to help become such a dictator? Moreover, it was ‘our’ bus and we should be free to decide to go with him or not; so why the troubles? He kept persuading me to vacate the seat for him. In the end I agreed, howbeit reluctantly, and sat close to Mann, while he sat close to door where I was before. And then we took off.
As we started the journey, a few minutes later, as we got to Kujama, we had a tyre burst and Polycarp later narrated that he was confused when it happened and in that state of confusion he applied the brakes… You know what happens in such a scenario. Do you know what? The “troublesome” man who insisted on having, and actually had my seat, was the only one that died in that accident. The door of the car was said to have squeezed with him. You can imagine what went through my mind when I got to know it. It remains an incident I will never forget. He took my place. He exchanged his life for mine without knowing it. It was a Good Friday indeed for me! But I wish no one had died though! But seriously, God saved me.
We were rushed to St. Gerard’s Catholic Hospital, Kakuri – Kaduna, at about 5.15pm. AND THAT WAS THE BEGINNING OF MY YEARS OF PREDICAMENT, AGONY AND SORROWS.
At St. Gerard’s, I underwent two surgeries within the space of two weeks. I suffered what they called Pelvic Fracture Distraction Defect (PFDD), which resulted in bladder burst. I was therefore on a regular change of catheter since the bladder was on repairs. I was also using crutches because I couldn’t walk unaided.
While we were at St. Gerard’s, my fiancée came back from the journey – she actually cut it short after my brother, Zicham, called and informed them about the accident because she had traveled safely to the village ahead of me. RAHAB MERCY YOHANNA STOOD BY ME IN THE HOSPITAL. SHE WAS MY ANGEL. I CANNOT EXPLAIN THE KIND OF HUMAN SHE IS. MY HEART’S ONLY RESPONSE TO HER LAVISH LOVE IS GRATITUDE.
Still at St Gerard’s, one fateful evening, after my second surgery, a man came into the ward where I was admitted, around 7:20pm, and made his way to my bed – two of them to be sure. They greeted me and the man whose bed was close to mine (he was lying unconscious). After that they left. All I can recall with clarity is that the man came down from his car, came towards me at the male surgical ward, greeted me and left.
I later saw a medical personnel who came and asked me if I was a relation of the Governor. I asked him the Governor he was talking about because it was funny, and he said to me “Governor Patrick Yakowa.” My mother shouted, “Yakowa? Where is he?” Seriously, the man that came was Sir Patrick Yakowa of Blessed memory. He took my hospital bills and PAID ALL IN FULL. Can you see another Good Friday experience? I was then transferred to Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Shika, Zaria., probably because they thought I was a relation of the Governor. Between 2012 and 2015 I underwent 6 different surgeries in all.
Back to my fiancée. She completed her HND programme and was posted to Rivers State for her National Youth Service Scheme, NYSC. She completed and came back. She told me something which struck me hard and has stuck with me ever since. She said, “God spoke to you and you saved me. And I won’t have peace of mind if I run away and abandon you.” She also added, “I know how I felt the day we agreed to settle down – an inner joy that I had never felt before all my life. I must make sure we complete what we have started. No matter how long it takes, no matter for how long you will be in this state, I will WAIT. I know you will recover. BE STRONG.”. Those words kept me! I was determined to be back on my feet to reward this love with my own love.
Dear friends, eerything about me is grace; I am seriously a living Testimony.
A 30-year-old man, Uwani Danjuma, has killed his wife for planning to remarry after his death.
The incident occurred at Uddu village in Rijau Local Government Area of Niger State.
Danjuma said his wife had told him when he was ill that if he died, she would remarry.
Angered by those words, he said he attacked and killed his wife with a cutlass when he became well.
Confessing to the crime, the suspect said his wife was sleeping when he killed her, adding that he deliberately killed her because of her comment.
“I can’t imagine my own wife telling me that if I die, she will remarry. I became angry and inflicted injuries on her neck with a machete, which led to her death.
“I don’t regret killing her, since she wanted me to die. I killed her so that she would not remarry. She should not have said that to my hearing. There is power in spoken words. So let her go. Allah will send her to hell for that unguarded statement,” Danjuma said.
Police spokesman Mohammad Abubakar said the suspect was arrested following a tip-off, adding that he had confessed to the crime.
He said the injury the suspect inflicted on the deceased led to her death, adding that he would be charged to court.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says it would reach out to candidates through their telephones as as soon as all the results of the 2019 UTME were ratified.
The board’s Head, Media and Information, Dr Fabian Benjamin disclosed this in an interview with News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Lagos.
According to him, candidates should not be carried away by what he described as rumours and misleading information in some sections of the media, especially the social media.
He said ;
“The board want to distance itself from such rumours about releasing the results of candidates of the just concluded UTME and steps to check these results as being speculated.
“Candidates should disregard this information as it is not true. It is not emanating from the board.
“No results have been released yet. Yes the results are all ready, but we are yet to release them because they are still being ratified.
“The board is carrying out all the checks and balances regarding these results by way of viewing the CCTV camera as well as attend to all findings brought before it while the examination lasted.

Volodymyr Zelensky, a Ukrainian comedian, has won the Presidential election with a landslide victory, in the country.
It was gathered that the Ukrainian comedian who won the Presidential election, polled 70% support. He dominated the first round of voting three weeks ago when 39 candidates were on the ticket.
Mr Zelensky challenged incumbent president Petro Poroshenko. Mr Poroshenko has admitted defeat but told supporters gathered in Kiev that he will not leave politics.
“I will never let you down,” Mr Zelensky told supporters on Sunday. He added: “While I am not formally president yet, as a citizen of Ukraine I can tell all post-Soviet countries: ‘Look at us! Everything is possible!’”
It was learnt that thirty-seven candidates were removed from the ballot paper from the first round and yet the president only picked up about 9% more votes this time. Mr Zelensky gained almost 45 percent. Polls gave Mr Poroshenko, who has been in power since 2014, 25% of the vote. The billionaire was elected after an uprising overthrew the country’s previous, pro-Russian government.
“The outcome of the election leaves us with uncertainty [and] unpredictability,” he said after exit polls were released.
“I will leave office but I want to firmly stress – I will not quit politics,” he added.
A young Christian lady has been appointed a regent, following the death of his father who was King of Ibulesoro, Ifedore LGA, Ondo State.
The young Christian lady who was appointed regent, flaunted her bible as she disclosed that she struggled with the appointment because of the idolatry associated with it.
She wrote ;
After my father passed on to glory.
A call came for the throne to be occupied by a Regent.
To lead my community till a new king is chosen
A call I had foreseen for some years
And have vehemently rejected
Like Peter, I believed such position was a meat ‘unclean’
And should not be eaten by me.
I struggled
It was a war
I have plans
I feared how long the tenure may last
The idolatry associated with it
How it’s going to change my lifestyle
Give me huge responsibilities
And also require some sacrifices.
I prayed strongly against it.
Asking the good Lord to deliver me and frustrate the plans of the ‘enemy’ for my life.
But a certain friend told me ‘Not so’
‘Moyin, pray that God’s will be done on this matter’
A mentor said
‘Moyinoluwa, if it is the will of the Lord, it’ll stand’
With tears, I changed my prayer point.
God let your will alone prevail in this matter..
I gave it to the Lord
I asked Him to help me if it is His will
If it is going to hurt me, let him deliver me.
He answered!
He gave me a go ahead
Blessed me with His peace
Reveled to me His purpose in the matter.
And gave instructions.
The installation was done with prayers.
And proclamation was made to the ancient powers of the land that power has changed hands.
Ancient gates lifted up their head
Everlasting doors were declared opened
For the KING of Glory to come in
The foundation of the land shook and war was declared on darkness.
Lord Jesus, the throne of Ibulesoro belong to you.
You’re the rightful owner
I’m just a caretaker
Come and reign
Bless your people with peace and prosperity
Let the gospel receive breakthrough
And let destinies be preserved.
I’m not going to worry about my life, because I know you’ll take care of my affairs.
I have not sent myself, you ordained me.
Help me to stand my ground
And come out of this, better and fulfilled.
I’m using this medium to announce that I was installed as the regent of Ibulesoro (Ifedore LGA, Ondo State) on Thursday, April 11. It is a assignment I have received from God for a season. I request for your prayers and support.
My gratitude goes to my family, friends and all men and women of God that took their time to wait on God with me and support me before, during and after my installation. You’ll not lose your reward.

The son of deadly armed robber, Anini, in person of Osayi Lawrence Lawson has finally replied those who labeled him as ‘someone who may be like his dad’, after he went public with his identity and background.
He’s finally decided to speak out after three decades of silence.
In a viral video, Osayi said he decided to speak because of people’s opinion about him for many years.
Osayi said anytime he goes out, people always pointed him out as ‘look at Anini’s son. That is Anini’s son.’ He said he was not hiding his identity and that he is proud of his father. Osayi who wore black and carried dread locks, said he wanted to use the video to clarify some things about his late father.
He lampooned Nollywood producers over the video of ‘Anini’ saying many things in the video were untrue. He said “His name is not Nomayankpon as stated in the movie. Anini is not an alias but my grandfather’s name. If I am walking, people always pointed me out saying ‘see Anini pikin.’ I was somewhere yesterday and people were saying many things about Anini.
“I am not hiding my identity. I have used that name to take the Nigeria government to court for years. I am proud of my father. If the way he runs things is not okey by you, that is your opinion but he is my father.
“We are two brothers. The other one is called Osaro. There is no need for people to be pointing out at me. My grandmother is still alive. I will release the true story of Anini by this month end. There is nothing real in that drama about Anini.”
However replying critics over the controversy his video generated, he wrote; “Am cool and calm very very different from what you think ask those that really know me.all sons are not always like their father”

Speaking about what her fans should expect from the movie and her new album, Simi said:
The feeling is so real and unforgettable. I felt great shooting with some of the legends in the industry. It was something I had looked forward to for a long time, so when I heard that I would be part of the cast, I jumped at the opportunity because it was another way of showing the world the other side of Simi that they have never seen in play.
The interviewer chipped in: Congratulations on your marriage to Adekunle Gold.
Simi replied: “Please don’t let us talk about that. I won’t talk about that matter. So just drop the question..”
Interviewer: How soon are you settling down to have kids and build a family with him?
She replied: I am definitely not going to talk about family with the media. You won’t hear that from me. If there are other questions, I will love to speak about them but not about family or marriage. It’s a no.

A famous gay man from Ghana identified as Aaron Akrong, has become an Evangelist, and took to social media to share the news with his followers.
Aaron Akrong, also reportedly ‘abandoned’ his former life as a line in his Bio reads ” I was once gay but now a child of God”
Confirming the story, Aaron wrote;
Having an encounter with Jesus is the best thing that has ever happened to me and am forever grateful. Grace gives hope to the hopeless, joy to the sorrowing, faith to the faithless, and life to the dying.
The word charis (“grace”) comes from a root meaning “to be joyful,” and the word is always associated with happiness and joy.
Grace means that God is for us even when we are against Him.
Grace refers to the active love of God streaming continually and generously as sunshine from the sun.
It’s not grace unless it is gratis, that is free. The word “grace” carries the meaning of generous gifts which have to do with redemption and all that goes with it.
Grace brings us all down to the same level because at the foot of the cross, there’s no economy class, and no first class; there’s only kneeling class.

Yes, I saw the post but there was no time I said end SARS. When I was about to leave a show in Surulere, Lagos, last Sunday, Zlatan Ibile saw me and started shouting ‘End SARS’. He was obviously joking while recording it. I then asked why he was shouting ‘End SARS’. That was what happened.”
