The young Nigerian guy who went viral a while ago after pictures of him laying with huge wads of cash were shared online, has us talking about him again.
The young man who calls himself ‘Owoboy’,(money boy), recently shared pictures of himself relaxing on his bed with two ladies while showing off his new iPhone and Apple MacBook.
He shared the trending pictures on Facebook just days after he was hospitalized for an undisclosed illness.
According to him, he took an antibiotic drug without eating which made him to faint due to weakness. He was rushed to the hospital where he was treated.
He also revealed that when he thought he was going to die at the hospital, he prayed and asked God for forgiveness..
After the recovery, he decided to welcome himself home with two ladies.
A baby who was abandoned on the road by his mother on Christmas day, was recused by an orphanage.
The Door of Hope Children’s Mission in Glenvista, Johannesburg, South Africa, received a different kind of gift on Christmas Day after the baby was wrapped in a plastic bag and placed in a dustbin outside the home.
Hannah Thompson, a baby care co-ordinator at the home, told Daily Sun,
“We consider the baby a gift because it’s alive. Whoever found the baby boy gave him an opportunity to live.”
According to Hannah, most of the abandoned babies they received were from police and hospitals, and some were brought by their mums.
She said they often gave poverty and financial instability as the reasons for bringing the babies.
“But we’d rather have mums handing over their unwanted babies than placing them in rubbish bins.“Child abandonment is a real issue that people must be educated on.”
Hannah said the home offers a baby box where mums could place unwanted babies.
“When they open the box, an alarm alerts us that there’s a baby. We can also see the baby because there’s a camera focused on the box. We’ve received more than 200 babies since 1999 at our Berea home in Joburg,” said Hannah.
She said the babies were often adopted or reunited with their families.
Media personality, Toke Makinwa has stunned her over two million followers after she showed off her newly-fixed body in a skin-revealing swimsuit, just few days after she revealed that fixing her body was the best decision she made in 2018.
The author and vlogger confirmed few days ago, the rumors that she had undergone cosmetic surgery – she had written,
This year I stopped complaining and changed things. I hated my body, I fixed it, (best decision ever). I hated hanging around certain people who made me feel small; I dropped them, I learnt to forgive (I still struggle but it’s a journey), I learnt to be at peace.
Oooh also learnt that life is not black and white, there are shades of grey. You don’t know it all. You don’t have to understand everyone’s journey but it’s your duty to respect it. Nobody Holy pass.
I learnt the power of compassion. We are all saved by grace and grace alone. Stopped thinking you are better that the next person, if you were in their shoes, you may do worse. Life happens to everyone and it’ll humble you
This year I tried to give Love a Chance again but let’s just say “if a fish and a bird fell in love, where would they make home”??? Still figuring me out but it was the best times I had
This year I learnt to accept things for what they are. Some people come in to your life to play a role, I call them travelers, when their job is done, let them go. Stop trying to make permanent what is temporal, you’ll lose the beauty of it all.
Shared enough for the day. Hope my tweets inspired, amused, confused and left you wanting more. Chat later, happy holidays X.

There was a mild drama after a wife caught her husband and his side chick off-guard in public and embarrassed them.
The scorned wife unleashed her wrath on the two after they failed to give answers to her questions. She first attacked the girlfriend identified Carol Matanga, before turning to her husband who was already trembling with fear.
The incident caused a huge scene at 9th Avenue and George Silundika Street in Zimbabwe where the incident occurred on Christmas Eve, giving Passers-by a free movie to watch as the two lovebirds were embarrassed in public.
Carol, tried to calm the situation by telling the woman that she didn’t that the man was married but got a bashing for ‘being stupid.”
Her husband’s efforts to restrain her were not fruitful and was also slapped before his wife pulled his man_hood.
“You have been lying claiming that you are now impotent, but you are busy with your girlfriend. You are even failing to support your five children because of this woman. Today I will teach you a lesson,” she said.
When the woman turned to her husband, Caro attempted to flee the scene. The embarrassed man tried to follow suit after he saw people busy taking pictures and videos of the drama, he got inside Chronicle building, but unfortunately, the security guard chased them out.
The lovebirds were then saved by a man driving a South African registered vehicle who offered them transport and they drove away.
Controversial journalist, Kemi Olunloyo has shared how Davido’s mom, appeared to her in a dream, and she’s claimed that she told him she’s not proud of her son, David.
The singer who is currently enmeshed in an assault controversy, is always at loggerheads Kemi, who had predicted something spectacular would happen at his concert in Lagos.
Kemi who claimed to be a prophet, had claimed most of the prophecies/predictions she made in the past have come to pass.
She wrote on Davido’s mum:
“#ProphetKOO. As a prophetic Investigative Journalist, I found my tweet and archived it. A week ago I predicted this. I watched Daniel Anidugbe grow up and was really surprised when he collaborated with Davido a reckless mannerless young boy.”
“I even told you the song #OneTicket was cryptic. Sadly the phenomenal event was violent. In my dream Davido’s mom Vero said to me that her son has not made her proud. At her funeral, I remember David was 10yo going on 11yo with a blank expression on his face.”
“I worry when young ppl lose parents. The same way many of us in the industry are watching on Jesse and D’Lila, Kim’s twins and of course Christian and Quincy. Justin, Chance and of course Diddy will guide them all.”
“Nobody is guiding Davido. Money is guiding him and Money can never buy real character. The list of apologies grows.”
The drama between Kizz Daniel’s manager, Tumi Lawrence and Davido lingers on as the former replied the latter, telling him to own up to his transgression.
Tumi Lawrence shared a photo on which these words were written ;
Lie, deny, do whatever, it does not change the fact that i was assaulted by you and your gang.
You and your gang pushed me as you were making your way to the green room. I looked at you with disgust and you acted like one small god that no one should look in the eye and you said “who be this one…” (even though we have met a couple of times). People there even told you who i was, i turned and moved towards the green room, you and your guys dragged me back and pour your drink on my face. I tried to clean my face and the first slap came, then subsequent ones. All in your presence, if it wasn’t you, then provide who did it.

While still trying to prove her innocence, the fitness trainer was then invited into the room where the couple were arguing. The argument got a bit fierce.
The fitness trainer started accusing the lady of playing him for 5-years while she was engaged to someone else. The confused lady can be heard saying she’s in love with him while her heartbroken fiance stood next to them.

After continuously denying that he assaulted Kizz Daniel’s manager, with several people confirming that he actually did, Davido now wished he’d in fact, slapped the said gentleman.
The singer has been receiving several backlash from people on social media who are quite certain that he’s the one who slapped the manager. In light of this, he then apologized for what he considers ‘nothing’.
Unmoved by this, fans continued to have a go at him and because of this, he took to his Instagram to say he now wishes he had indeed slapped the manager while still stating that he didn’t.
He wrote,
Abeg o i no slap anybody o but now I kinda wish I did ! Smh !!
A bride has threatened to dis-invite her wedding guests after they failed to give her cash as gifts as she’d requested during her engagement party.
The bride-to-be took to social media, to rant and make threats – the unnamed woman said that she had been clear in asking for cash rather than gifts at her engagement party, and was pretty irritated when people turned up with ‘small gifts that serve no purpose’.
The bride said that out of anger, she sent a message to guests to ask why she hadn’t been given the cash she’d asked for.
She wrote:
I specified on the invitation that we were requesting cash only in lieu of gifts.
We have a mountain of debt and would like to start our marriage with a fresh slate and figured this would be a great opportunity to do so.
Well the party was last night and not one person brought us cash.
They all brought small gifts that serve no purpose to us and it was hard for me to mask my irritation.
We invited upwards of thirty people, most of which showed up and all we got out of it were some household items that we already have.
The bride said she ended up going to bed early out of anger. The next day, she sent a message to her friends,
I sent out a mass text basically asking guests I was close with where the miscommunication happened in our gift requests.
I didn’t get many responses, but the responses I did get were pretty rude – which was shocking to me.
I have been dreaming of my wedding my entire life and you would think friends and loved ones would want to help in making it perfect.
I am thinking of dis-inviting those that responded rudely to me, but also I could give them another chance.
We will be requesting cash as well and I have already sent out an email reiterating that cash is expected and not gifts and any gifts will be returned for cash or sold on ebay.
Reddit users reacted to the post shared by the bride-to-be and most of them weren’t positive.
One Reddit user wrote:
‘I have a feeling she will not have a lot of friends after her wedding.’
Another said,
‘You could also just, you know, not pay for a whole damn wedding and pay off your debt?’
The bride later deleted her account following the backlash.
