A deputy Mayor’s nude photographs are circulating on social media after they were leaked through her political party WhatsApp group last week.
The Kariba Deputy Mayor Councillor in Zimbabwe, Farai Mageva, has got the residents demanding an apology after it was claimed that the photographs were meant for her lover.
Mageva confirmed the unfortunate incident saying she does not owe anyone an apology and the photographs were to show her relatives that her heart was swelling. She denied reports that the photographs were destined for her unnamed alleged lover.
When reached for comment by local tabloid H-Metro, Mageva said,
The photographs were of me and destined to a family group although they leaked into an MDC WhatsApp group. I have been receiving calls from various people including journalists, but the truth is that the photographs were to show that my heart is swelling.
I visited my doctor who told me that it was an ECO and I saw nothing bad in informing and showing my relatives about such an illness.
As we speak I am not feeling well and many people are wishing me speedy recovery so I do not see the need to apologise to anyone in the community.
A 36-year-old science teacher from rural Kenya, who donates most of his salary to help poorer students, has been crowned the world’s best teacher and awarded a $1m prize, beating 10,000 nominations from 179 countries.
Peter Tabichi, a maths and physics teacher at Keriko secondary school in Pwani Village in Kenya, won the Varkey Foundation Global Teacher Prize 2019 and received his prize at a ceremony in Dubai hosted by actor Hugh Jackman.
Tabichi gives away 80% of his income to help the poorest students at the poorly-equipped and overcrowded school who could not otherwise not afford uniforms and books.
More than 90% of his pupils are from poor families and almost a third are orphans or have only one parent. Drug abuse, teenage pregnancies, dropping out early from school, young marriages and suicide are common.
Students have to walk 7km along roads that can become impassable in the rainy season to reach the school and the area can be affected by drought and famine.
Despite only having one computer, a poor internet connection and a student-teacher ratio of 58:1, Tabichi started a “talent nurturing club” and expanded the school’s science club, helping pupils design research projects of such quality that many now qualify for national competitions.
His students have taken part in international science competitions and won an award from the Royal Society of Chemistry after harnessing local plant life to generate electricity.

Reality TV star, Ifu Ennada has apologized for claiming that she makes N5million everyday through her sales business.
Ifu revealed she makes 5 Million Naira in a day during the 6th episode of the BBNaija Reunion show last night.
Her words were found to be unbelievable by almost everyone in the house. One of those who couldn’t hide the disbelieve is Ahneeka who reacted almost as if she wanted to pass out.
Well, it seems Ifu Ennada has realized that it is not only Ahneeka that didn’t buy her N5million story but the whole Nigeria, hence an apology on social media.
“Guys, that 5million naira talk err, no be as e be o, make una forgive me abeg. Sales dey bring better money, but I no know when I talk my future projection. –“
Noble Igwe who reacted to Ifu Ennada’s claim of making N5m daily from her hair care product sale, took a swipe at the housemates who according to pretend to be making money.
Noble Igwe in his tweet after the disclosure, said they housemates pretend to be making money to compete amongst themselves. He wrote ‘the ex housemates pretend to be making money just so they could compete amongst themselves’.
Korede Bello in a new video he shared, advised people to stop begging God for money because he is not Central Bank.
The Mavin act further told people to stop asking others for money, but instead ask them what can be done for them in exchange for money. He further added that one can make money if he or she maximizes his or her talent, skill or gift to the fullest.
Korede Bello said in the video “ Maybe we should stop begging God for money… Is HE Central bank ? maybe we should stop asking God for money. God doesn’t give money, God gives you abilities, he gives you talents, he gives you values that you can exchange for money.”
Cartel music boss, Tekno as promised earlier, guaranteed us an Uptempo record and yes! he dropped it. He titles this new jam “UpTempo”.
Folks, Tekno is a legend in my books and this melody, soon after conveying a cognizant tune with “Lady”, is a tune certainly set to shake the mid year.
Self acclaimed best Nigerian rapper, Vic O drops this anticipated jam we’ve all been waiting for tagged, “Bella” and on this one he features “BangDaDaDang” crooner, Speed Darlington.
It is beneficial to see joint efforts like this and I trust it fills in as an exercise to the greatest opponents in the Nigerian Music industry, Wizkid and Davido.
Earlier today, the Anambra State Police Command paraded three suspects (a man and two women) over the viral video of a woman who was stripped naked and was beaten severally.
The suspects paraded include; Mr Ifeanyi Azotani, 40 year old artisan, the wife, Tochukwu, 43 and her niece, Ogochukwu Nwankwo, 33.
One of the suspects who was interrogated by journalists, Ogochukwu Nwankwo (the niece), said she was about going out when she received a call from Tochukwu Azotani beckoning her to come to the house because she found out that her husband has been sleeping around.
She said when she went there she remembered how her ex-husband took her son to stay his with his girlfriend and this provoked her. She said this was what made her angry to flog the alleged mistress mercilessly and humiliate her.
She said that’s not really her character as she admitted she made a mistake.
The wife, Tochukwu Azotani, said that she saw a chat between her husband and his mistress on his phone the second time after they had previously met in the hotel, that was why she decided to lure the lady to the house (with the help of the husband) and disgrace her. She claimed she didn’t know that the action meted out on the lady would go far like that.
Meanwhile, the victim of the assault, who is a widow and a mother of one, said that her career has been killed both in Nigeria and outside the country following the viral nude video and she does not want to be compensated.
She revealed that why she was being tortured, the man, Ifeanyi Azotani who invited her to the house – was there looking and did nothing to save her.
The suspects confessed to the crimes but denied releasing the video. They claimed it was a third party that collected the video from them on the day of the incident and released same.
A High Court sitting in Akure, Ondo state has sentenced to death the killer boyfriend Chukwudi Onweniwe of an HND student of Rufus Giwa Polytechnic Owo, Nifemi Adeyeoye to death by hanging.
Chukwudi Onweniwe was dragged before the court in May 22 2017 on a four count charge of action endangering life, kidnapping and abduction, rape and murder. .
According to the Prosecutor, Jumoke Ogunjebi said the accused person abducted the deceased and took her “to a farm near Alayere, Ogbese, raped her and then snuffed life out of her by choking and strangulating her to death.
The police prosecutor, Inspector John Aderibigbe said that one of the motorcyclists who testified in the case reported the suspicious movement of the accused person and the deceased at the police station.
Aderibigbe said that the case was later transferred to Special Anti Cultism Squad in Akure. Testifying, the mother of the deceased, Mrs Adeyeoye said her daughter had informed her she was going to visit her friend on the day she went missing. Adeyeoye claimed she did not know the accused person though he was said to be her daughter’s boyfriend.
According to her ” l did not see my daughter again after she got missing until police men invited me to come to the mortuary to identify a corpse whether it was that of my daughter or not. Also giving evidences the two motorcyclists who saw the lover birds together on the ill fated day told the court that they conveyed them to a spot in town.
Justice Bola said that an autopsy was carried out by one Dr. Pelemo, a staff of Ondo state Specialist Hospital, Akure who described the abnormal state of the deceased’s neck and fracture of the skull. According to him “it suggested that the deceased had been attacked by an object with a blunt edge which led to her death. The judge stated that the accused person had confessed to the officers of the squad according to the testimony of one Ayoola Famoriyo and had taken his team to the spot where he hid the corpse of the deceased.
“There, the accused person had pointed to the spot where she kept the corpse and it was taken to the mortuary while the stone found near her head with which he had purportedly hit her skull was taken to the police station as an exhibit. “Famoriyo had further testified that a search of the accused person’s room had revealed the deceased’s belongings such as a school bag, wallet, some GNLD products, her phone and 22 passport photographs.
The father of the accused person Nwosu Onweniwe while giving evidence in defense of his son told the court that the deceased was his son’s girlfriend who had been very helpful to him.
Meanwhile, after examining all facts of the case, Justice Bola while delivering judgement said that the prosecution had proven its case beyond reasonable doubt in three out of the four count charges The Judge observed that the prosecution failed to prove the case of rape against the accused person.
He therefore found him guilty as charged on three counts and sentenced him as charged. Justice Bola declared that “On the count of kidnapping, he was sentenced to life imprisonment, on strangulating and choking, he was sentenced to death by hanging and on murder, he was also sentenced to death by hanging.
In a previous confession to the police, Chukwudi denied that he killed her for rituals as he claimed that he had killed her for the fun of it.
“I did not remove any part of her body; I only killed her for the fun of it. I made love with her in the bush before killing her. I am not a cultist. It was when I killed her that I realised I made a big mistake and I wept bitterly,” he said.
I'm not a fan of CeeC, but I respect her for one thing. When someone is making serious acquisition against her or something, she hardly cut it, she let you finish before giving her reply. Ifu isn't mature abeg. At least let Ahneeka finish! #DoubleWahalaReloaded
