Woman doused in acid by her dad because he wanted a son shares inspiring new year message

A woman who was doused in acid by her father when she was just two-months-old has shared an inspiring new year message.

Anmol Rodrigous was curled up in her mother’s lap when her father poured a can of acid on them, killing her mother, and disfiguring newborn- Anmol.

At 23, Anmol now runs her own survivor foundation. She has not only overcome the physical and emotional pain but has also become an inspiration to many women like her.

Anmol, which means priceless in Hindi, claims to be the happiest girl in the world. She lives alone in Mumbai, India, where she arranges funds for her ongoing reconstructive surgeries and runs an NGO Acid Survivor Sahas Foundation, through which she has helped 20 such women getting employment and organised a lavish wedding for a friend.

In her words;

I love my life as it is. Not even once have I felt that I am different. This could also be because I only remember seeing myself with one eye and wrinkled, burnt skin.

I have very happily accepted myself and this has given me hopes and confidence to keep moving in life.

My whole life was spent at an orphanage in Mumbai. I am told that I was only two months old when my father had attacked my mother and myself with acid.

She left the orphanage 2 years ago when she finished from college. She now makes £117 a month from giving her ideas to make creative sets for the shows and saves some of her money for her NGO.

The young girl says she loves to dress up and wishes to become a model. She has already been offered model assignments by two designers to promote their jewellery on Instagram.

Sharing an inspiring message for others in her condition, she said:

I want to become the first commercial acid attack survivor model who can not just promote fashion but also spread awareness that acid does not end life.

This is really exciting and I am soon going to get the opportunity what I have been longing for.

I hope my stint will inspire women like me to not cover their face in a veil, instead walk confidently with their face.

Acid can only change our face but not ruin our soul. We are same inside out and we should accept ourselves who we are and live our lives happily.

Toyin Lawani berates Nina, calls her a bi.tch (screenshots)

Serial entrepreneur, Toyin Lawani has taken a swipe at ex Big Brother Naija housemate, Nina on twitter for backbiting on her and also in the process called her a bitch.

Recall that last year, Nina and Toyin made headlines after Nina met with Miracle in Ghana and Toyin went on her IG page to slam Nina.

Few days after calling out Nina, Toyin in an interview said all has been resolved between them and that they are cool. Well it seems all is not well with the duo and they have carried their differences straight into 2019.

Trouble started when Nina left a comment on Toyin Lawani’s IG post celebrating her son, Tenor’s birthday. While responding to Nina’s comment, Toyin reminded Nina that on her own birthday, she gave her a personal shout-out on her IG page and expected Nina to do same for her son.

Nina’s fans found Toyin’s comment offensive. They went on twitter to berate her and Toyin wasted no time to attack them and Nina. She threatened to reveal the real reason why herself and Nina fell out.

Amazing new picture of family of five plagued with madness in Cross River

Here’s an amazing picture of the family of five who went viral after their condition (madness) was brought to the notice of the public by a former National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member, Progress Oberiko.

The husband named Ben, his wife and three kids for over seven years – roamed the streets of Bekwarra-Ogoja, Cross River State due to their condition.

With support from philanthropist and prompt response from the medical team at the Federal Neuro Psychiatric hospital in Calabar, the family are on their way to full recovery.

According to reports, doctors say it was really a tough time getting them to accept treatments. The doctors met strong resistance from them as they refused to accept food or care of any sort. They wouldn’t even speak to anyone.

There was breakthrough at some point after several medical checks on the children doctors reported that they were even healthier than they thought.

The Mother who was kept in a separate ward complained about body pains caused by sleeping on the bed after being used to sleeping on the bare floor.

They had lived in delusion, which had cost them a great part of their lives but their lives have taken a turn for the better.

Not long after singer, Davido and his crew took to Instastory to mock the boy he promised N1million but was yet to deliver, which prompted the boy to call him out, the singer has finally fulfilled his promise to him.

It should be recalled that the singer had promised N1million to the boy at his concert for fighting for ladies who were being rough handled, while other men scrambled to take their share of the money he sprayed during his performance.

Few days after the event, the said lad outed Davido for not making true his promise – he insisted that he called a certain Lati who was supposed to make the money transfer to him, but Lati asked him never to call him. ICYMI

Minimum wage: NLC to begin indefinite strike on January 8th

Following the inability of the Federal Government to urgently transmit the bill on the new national minimum wage to the National Assembly, the Nigeria Labour Congress has set January 8th as the date for the commencement of an indefinite nationwide strike.

NLC President Comrade Ayuba Wabba said the strike would be inevitable if nothing happened before the set date. He appealed to workers across the nation to support the action to succeed in the interest of their social and economic prosperity.

Comrade Wabba called on Federal Government to urgently transmit the bill on the new national minimum wage to the National Assembly for a speedy passage.

He said:

“It is unfortunate that the Federal Government is yet to transmit to the National Assembly an executive bill for the enactment of N30,000 as the new national minimum wage. Government’s dilly-dallying on the issue has strained Government-Labour relations with a potential for a major national strike which could just be days away.

I want to appeal to the government to do the needful by urgently transmitting the bill on the new national minimum wage to the National Assembly. We also would like to use this same opportunity to urge workers to fully mobilise for a prolonged national strike and enforce their right.”

He added that the NLC leadership is similarly committed to social protection for workers.

“The new year presents great opportunities for workers, pensioners, civil society allies and their friends and families to put their numbers to good use. This is by voting out, not on the basis of tribe or religion but purely policy, any candidate that cannot serve their interest.

In the year that is ahead of us, the NLC remains unequivocally committed to the national and workers’ goals which include the campaign for industrialisation, against selective enforcement of “No Work, No Pay” policy of government, among others,” he said.

I forgive you – Yomi Fabiyi says to Toyin Abraham.

Nollywood actor Yomi Fabiyi has taken to his instagram page to settle his difference with Toyin Abraham.

Yomi Fabiyi however took to his page to clear the air on their misunderstanding and assured Toyin that he had never intended that they had anything come in between them, but he is now willing to forgive her and hope she does same.

His post reads ;

Everyday that we wake up is a fresh start.

If we are revisiting the past because of regrets, then we need to be clear that we can’t go back and undo what we have done.

Toyin, you know I have always prepared my mind that my friend(s) at any rate and time will offend me and I do forgive in advance. In the case that spilted us, it got the best part of me, I would have judged any other differently too until I was in the shoes.

Many questions may be unanswered, that is fine by me and I know you well, you would have wish some scenarios never happened. Switch to that emotional, kind, remorseful, soft and God fearing Toyin that attracted me to you.

Reflect, be sober and get teary if necessary while making genuine assessment. NOBODY CAN EVER KNOW THE FULL GIST LIKE YOU AND I anyway.

I wish to state unequivocally that I FORGIVE YOU from the depth of my heart. Also, I reacted in a way that is inappropriate afterwards, I HUMBLY APOLOGIZE and to anyone who feel offended, ejo e ma binu.

May God forgive us all. TRUE FRIENDSHIP IS THE BIGGEST CULT and to me, there is nothing like HALF LOYALTY, sad, ours turns out the way it did. We are humans and not aliens after-all. Lessons learnt. I will continue to value and hold you in high esteem. You have many goods with me I can tap strength from.

I love to travel light in this new year. I wish you and your loved ones a WONDERFUL and PROSPEROUS 2019. More success and more wins.

We won’t leave until we arrest Dino Melaye – Police says

Police says

The Police authorities have vowed to arrest Dino Melaye before making any attempt to leave his residence.

The Police have subsequently deployed over 50 additional policemen around Melaye’s residence located on 11, Sangha Street, Off Mississippi, Maitama, FCT.

Findings indicate that the Police might storm the building and forcefully arrest the lawmaker who had holed up in the house since last Friday, The Punch reports.

The Police said the lawmaker representing Kogi West at the National Assembly was wanted for the alleged shooting of one Sgt. Danjuma Saliu, attached to 37 Police Mobile Force while on stop-and-search duty along Aiyetoro Gbede, Mopa Road in Kogi State.

The operatives had, last Saturday, cut off power supply to Melaye’s mansion as part of strategies to make him uncomfortable so that he could surrender for arrest, but the senator has so far remained adamant.

The Force spokesman, Jimoh Moshood, stated that Melaye had repeatedly spurned several invitations asking him to report for investigation into the case of attempted culpable homicide.

He noted that the operatives would not leave the lawmaker’s residence without arresting him.

Army declares Nigerian doctor, Perry Brimah, wanted for allegedly raising funds to feed troops

Army declares Perry Brimah wanted

The Nigerian Army has declared wanted Dr. Perry Brimah, a Nigerian in Diaspora for allegedly launching a global fundraising scheme aimed at generating money to provide food for troops in the North East.

In a statement released this morning, the Army says the fundraising is fraudulent as the Nigerian soldiers sent to prosecute the war against Boko Haram in the North East, do not lack food nor logistics. The Army says it is working with INTERPOL to also declare him wanted.

The Army called on Nigerians to come forward with information on how to track Brimah. Read the statement below

The attention of the Nigerian Army has been drawn to a fraudulent and criminal fund raising by one Doctor Perry Brimah, a Nigerian in diaspora, tagged “Global Campaign To Provide Food For Nigerian Soldiers Fighting Boko Haram”. The criminal embarked on this fund raising venture ostensibly to defraud unsuspecting members of the public especially the international community to fund subversive activities and personal life style. The criminal is using the following contact points for the fund raising;

https://www.gofundme.com/feed-nigerian-soldiers/
info @ ENDS.ng
Tel: +1-929-427-5305; Whatsapp: +234-903-420-3031.

We wish to state that the Nigerian soldiers deployed in the North East or elsewhere, neither lack logistics nor food as the fraudster wants unsuspecting members of the public to believe. The Nigerian Army never faltered in providing necessary logistics to troops to the extent of providing extras especially during festive periods. Therefore, this move by Doctor Brimah is nothing but a scam as there is nowhere in the world where troops were fed through donations by members of the public.

We would like to further state that there has never been complaints of lack of food by soldiers talk-less of starvation. The so called Dr Perry Brimah or his agents do not represent the Nigerian Army or her soldiers. Whoever believes and falls victim to this criminal act does so at his or her own risk. In addition, the Nigerian Army in conjunction with the Interpol are working hard to declare him wanted and extradite the International fraudster to face justice. Therefore, we request the general public for any information on the whereabouts of this fraudster.

You are please requested to disseminate this information to the public through your medium.

My husband & I lived a faith based life. When he died, I lived in denial because I felt betrayed by God that my husband, a Gospel artiste, could die. I fell into depression, shaved my hair & wouldn’t accept inspirational messages from well wishers” she said

Drug gang members apprehended

According to Punch, the suspects comprising of a 22-year-old man identified as Ikuomola Abolade; Sodeeq Yunusa, who is an inmate standing trial for alleged robbery, and an unidentified person, who is presently at large, were apprehended while trying to smuggle the banned substance into the prison on Sunday December 30th 2018.

Man cries out after he caught his wife telling her ex she still has a tight vagina

Man cries out

A man has taken to a popular Nigerian forum to seek help on how to divorce his wife after he saw a text where she hinted her ex of her tight vagina.

According to the man, he married a different woman entirely as she showed every sign of goodness while they were dating that he thought he had met the love of his life.

Everything changed in the 3rd week of marriage when they had a slight argument and she stabbed him with a kitchen knife.

Read his story in full below:

Met in 2014 November.
Dated for 11 months. All these while she was so homely and accommodating.

She would call to let me know about her movements even when I did not ask for.

She would apologize at any slight opportunity.

It was all rosy.

The parents kept calling and advising me not to let other ladies win me over.

They would visit or call my parents at every given opportunity and I felt “this is it”.

We got married almost a year later.

The first 2 weeks of the honeymoon was smooth until the 3rd week and bam! there was disagreement about money.

She stabbed me with a knife though the cut wasn’t too deep. It took me months to catch up with reality as the lady I was dating was a total different person.

That was the journey of misery and then it was nagging, disrespect and stuffs until I caught her on the phone telling her ex that she misses him and sh1ts.

I was devastated. This lady refused to apologize. She won’t even listen to me whenever I asked to have a heart to heart talk with her.

I had to involve her parents and it was by force before she apologized.

She got pregnant and 9 months later she was delivered of our first son.

2 weeks later, my attention was drawn to constant beeping on her phone and when I checked, my supposed wife was discussing with another of her ex about how tight and intact her vagina was cos she gave birth through CS. And the guy used to be jealous cos he enjoyed the sex they had as she was always tight and shits.

I was devastated. I drew her attention to it and she denied feigning ignorance. It was when I showed her screenshots that she accepted and asked me to forget about it, that what has happened has happened.

She would never say sorry. So called her elder brother and he begged me and begged her to apologize, still she won’t.

I reported to the mother. This didn’t help matters. The aunts numbering about 4 had to beg on her behalf.
I let it slide.

Things got worse and it came to a point where she would not cook. Even times when I return home from long journeys, I most times will have to go into the kitchen to sort myself.

Mum got sick and I asked that she come to us so that we can go to bigger hospital for proper check up and hell was let loose.

She stopped cooking and would only cook whenever she desires.

Time past and my life became almost miserable.

I would close from the office and won’t be able to go home. I would stroll into a beer parlour and while away time till maybe 10pm and would sneak out very early even before she wakes up.

Earlier in 2016, I had empowered her with 1.2 million to start a business and one dime I didn’t see as return on investment with her citing low patronage as the reason for the collapse of the business.

It was until the elder brother who was staying with us asked her for money and she refused that the dude disclosed that she made about 2.6 million from sales of items and services she rendered in the shop she denied making nothing from. She could not deny this fact but for my son I let it slide.

My wife would bring her female friend into the home and this lady even when she was engaged to a guy still go out to sleep with other guys.
I asked her to stop been friends with her and she blatantly refused. She would go ahead to invite the lady into my home and rain insults on me because I don’t want them together.

This final one was the calls she was making with her ex most times when I was away in the office.
I noticed and she couldn’t deny it. I later learnt that her cheat of a friend was the middle person that delivers messages to my wife whenever I was around.

I can’t take it anymore.

I don’t wanna die before my time.

I can’t eat in my house anymore as she threatened to poison me and nothing will happen. This was let out in a heat of a moment while we were exchanging words.

What’s the express way to divorce without complications?

NB: The dad has asked me to quit before I start to develop HBP.

ASUU strike: FG reveals when lecturers will return to class in 2019

The ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) is likely to be called off soon.

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige, gave the hint in Onitsha, Anambra State, while speaking to reporters.

Ngige revealed that funds had been provided to meet most of the demands of the union.

He said the Federal Government would make necessary efforts to ensure that the strike comes to an end this January.

According to Ngige, the issues that made ASUU to embark on strike were based on agreement which the union entered into with the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan, which the administration failed to implement before President Muhammadu Buhari took over power.

According to the minister, the Buhari administration is labour-friendly and is always concerned about the welfare of the nation’s workforce.

Actor Daniel K Daniel’s wife, Augustina, reveals she and her twin brother were born in separate years

On Tuesday, January 1st, Augustina, the wife of Nollywood actor, Daniel K Daniel, turned a year older.

In a birthday post she shared on her social media page, Tina revealed that she has a twin brother who is an ordained priest. She went on to disclose that she and her twin brother were born minutes apart in separate years.

Her post reads ;

Still our birthday, A lot of you don’t know this but I am actually a TWIN and that’s my Twin brother, he was recently ordained a priest and he officiated my wedding

So funny story, yes we are twins but we were actually born on different days, in fact different years, lol. He was born 31st of December just a few minutes before midnight, and I was born on the 1st of January, few minutes after midnight. Our birth certificates carry different dates and years but that doesn’t change anything.

Although he celebrates his birthdays 31st December, he still gets birthday wishes on the 1st I celebrate mine on the 1st and 1st alone, I would always feel cheated growing up, but we are adults and he is now a Catholic priest and special so I guess it’s okay

Thank you for sharing mummy’s tummy with me brother, and eating all the food but you also decided to come out first to make sure it was safe for me to follow, it might be for selfish reasons but I chose to believe otherwise

The General Overseer of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries Worldwide, Dr Daniel Olukoya, in his own prophesies described 2019 as a year of many strange happenings.

Olukoya said many people trying to get rich through satanic means would be destroyed, while sexual perverts would receive a “death blow” from “sanitising agents”.

The cleric, according to a statement, said these on Monday night, during the church’s cross-over vigil service at the Prayer City along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

Olukoya said to survive 2019, Christians would require many strange prayers, which many around them might not be comfortable with.

He told the congregation that sacrificial giving was key to their success in 2019, saying “any teaching telling you not to give to God is from the pit of hell, because the apostles gave and God blessed them abundantly.”

He also told them “to pray seriously against the rage of the waters” in 2019.
