And while a posthumous wedding may seem strange – it really is quite common.
A posthumous wedding is defined as a marriage in which one of the participating members is deceased. It is legal in France and similar forms are practised in Sudan and China.
Since World War I, France has had hundreds of requests each year, of which many have been accepted.

Asa Asika has revealed how he met his girlfriend, DJ Cuppy.
He made this known during a Question and Answer section with his fans where he revealed a friend linked him up with Cuppy.
When asked by a fan;
“How did you meet your girlfriend?”
He replied:
“My best friend linked us up for something else years ago.”
Well, it turns out they went on to build a nice relationship after that first meeting.
It was not until January this year before DJ Cuppy made her relationship with Asa Asika offical to the public.
DJ Cuppy mentioned during a live video session with her fans that she was getting ready for a dinner date with her dad and someone “Very special” to her.
Yes, VERY SPECIAL! And although the 25-year-old Dj mentioned no names, that special person appeared to be Asa Asika, the manager of musician, Davido.
The dinner meeting obviously ended well from the body language of the people in the picture.
Looks like DJ Cuppy is really serious about getting married this year and is already making the right moves! First was to introduce the man in her life to the other man in her life, her father!
A Nigerian man who is yet to be identified was gunned down last night in Yeoville, Johannesburg, South Africa.
This is coming, just 4 days after another Nigerian was killed in the country. The cause of the latest assassination and those behind it are unknown at the moment.
South African President, Cyril Ramaphosa, met with President Buhari on Wednesday where the purported targeted killings of Nigerians in South Africa was high on the agenda.
Speaking to the media after the event at the State House in Abuja, Ramaphosa rejected the narrative that Nigerians are being targeted in South Africa, saying that it’s purely a matter of criminality.
“I want to state here and now that South Africans do not have any form of negative disposition or hatred towards Nigerians and in the main, Nigerians and South Africans and a number of our places in our country, live side-by-side.”
D’banj is gradually snapping out of mourning weeks after the sudden and painful death of his one year old son, Daniel the third.
The grieving Father is finally ready to take the stage again albeit in an emotional way.
D’banj who disappeared totally from the ‘gram since the incidence has spoken again, the second time since he announced little Daniel’s demise.
In his new post, D’banj has hinted that he might be performing after all at the Global Citizen Festival coming up later in the year. He shared the poster for the event with the caption: “It is on us to end poverty”.
The singer has been scheduled to perform alongside top artistes like Beyonce, Jayz, Usher, Wizkid, Femi Kuti, Tiwa Savage and some others in Johannesburg.
Hopefully, before December D’banj would have found peace with himself, enough to let go of mourning and take on life again.
Operatives of the Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS) yesterday attempted to implicate an ad agency owner, David, with claims that he was a ‘yahoo boy’.
David narrated his ordeal at the hands of the officials who made him miss an important meeting and allegedly attempted to extort him.
He said he was taken to Alagbon police station, near the passport office in Ikoyi, where he was made to spend the whole day without access to friends and family.
David said he couldn’t get the names of the five officials who had no uniform on and “looked like regular guys in a Benz”.
He narrated his experience after he was finally released:
I’ve been at the police station all day. I got in a taxify heading to a meeting with a client. These dudes in t shirts and jeans stop my driver. I look up from my phone and they are asking him to come out of the car.
I scan the area. No police uniforms , no squad car, no police bike, no police issued guns, one dude is wearing a GTB promo tshirt, the rest are wearing slippers and torn jeans. My mind goes to kidnappers, area boys, ritualists.
The one in a floral shirt is asking my driver to come down and the other is trying to get in the car. So I scream No!!!!! Tell the driver to wind up. Tell him to move. They block our car with a black Benz ML.
At this point I turn to them and I’m like this shit is not going to happen today. My taxify driver in fear has already opened his door. Smh. They’ve dragged the old man out. So I come out. And I start yelling at them to leave him alone.
One dude in a tshirt shows me a police ID. By this time I’m already mad. They are dragging my driver, one is getting in, the other is trying to search the car. So I threaten to call police officers I know. Screaming I’ll get you guys arrested.
These guys handcuff me and put me in their Benz. Having been kidnapped by guys claiming to be policemen in the past. I’m very weary. I literally believe I’m being kidnapped. I’m like damn, not again man. At this point they are just threatening to show me and deal with me.
Lucky for me they turn into the police station. I have never been so happy to see a Nigerian police station in my life. I’m thinking ok at least they are police officers. The rest will sort itself out.
So the lead officer starts to narrate a crazy story to his boss. How they saw me , suspected me, followed the taxify all the way from 1004 into Lekki. I’m weak at this point. This dude is claiming I’m a criminal, how i resisted arrest, I assaulted all of them.
They go through every single aspect of my phone, go through my laptop. They see my Bank of America account , my emails to clients in the US and India. They have their evidence. I’m fraudster. Statement paper appears. The guy is dictating what I should write.
I say man you must be stupid to think I’ll write what you dictate to me. At this point the taxify driver is now in the station, my own personal driver is here. They are threatening to lock both drivers up. That I’m a yahoo boy!
It just made me realize how many innocent people without my clout are in jail on false charges. These officers wanted me to write what they dictated in my statement. I was like wow!!!!!!
I hear one of them tell the other in pidgin, na legit guy na legit guy. Because he saw all my client emails on my system. The lead dude was still looking for a way to hold me down. I write the statement and tell them I own an ad agency and an investment company.
They write up a report and the senior office says they should follow me to my house. Search my whole house to find out if I own an ad agency. I look at him like he is the dumbest idiot I have ever seen.
So I ask, not my office, not the Internet, not my laptop bag, you’ve been through all my emails but you need to search my house to prove my ad agency is there. He is looking at me like dumbo at this point. I’m like do whatever you want.
They refuse to let me call my law firm. Seize my phones , my laptop, wrist watches, my hand is swollen from extra tight handcuffs. Then they take me outside and ask me to parcel cash for them. Smh. The lead guy is threatening to detain me and hang me upside down. Lol.
So I lose it and I tell him you are a fucking idiot. A corrupt slug and you are the scum of the earth. I won’t give you one fucking dime you lazy corrupt kidnapping bastard. Do your worst. At this point they are definitely not going to let me call anyone.
One starts to pacify me, that chief it’s not like that “. Starts to appeal to the naija boy. No be so chairman. By this time I’ve been in the station 4 hrs. My shoes are off, phones and laptop seized. They bring me a detention paper to scare me into dropping cash.
As soon as I see detention papers or whatever the bloody hell that was, I fucking lose it. I’m abusing and cursing everybody’s father. You are all bastards and you’ll die like bastards. When these guys realize they can’t shake me down. They tell me “we told CP you’re a fraudster.
So CP has to order your release. At this point I’ve received 50 missed calls from clients and staff. I need to get out, 5hrs has passed. They take me to CP’s office and claim some stupid shit and then say o but he’s legit and so the guy says release him. At this point O Lord.
So I’m packing up to leave and they bring a bail bond for me to pay or something stupid. Men I went off on this bastard. Called him unprintable names. At this point the whole station is pleading with me and hugging me to calm down. I just left. All day lost. Meetings not done.
How many innocent guys sit in Nigerian prisons because they didn’t bow to corrupt police officers? This bastards were dictating a statement to me. I was like” you must be bloody crazy. My heart bleeds for kids who just went about their daily lives and met the police.
Today they sit in Kirikiri awaiting trial for some crime that never existed. I ended up making some friends though. I heard heroic tales of catching criminals. So I commend some but if you’re a police officer and you’re corrupt may you meet one worse than you. Idiot.”
Nigerian citizens’ endless cries for much-needed reform of the Police Force continue to go unheeded by the government.
The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Imohimi Edgal has asked the Gender Unit of the Ilaje Police Division in Bariga to unravel the allegations of sexual harassment against an officer at the station.
According to a report by The Nation, a widow, Mrs Adebukola Mowette, is alleging that an officer, simply identified as Egi asked her for s*x to grant her bail.
“He fondled my breasts and threatened to ensure I rot in prison if I refused to sleep with him. He said in jail, they will shave the hairs on my private parts and those on my head,”the woman said yesterday.
It was gathered that Mowette, who was detained on June 25, after a fight with a man, said she was yet to get over the humiliation and harassment she went through.
She said she was shocked by the actions of another policeman and a policewoman, who told her to accept Egi’s proposal for the case against her would be dropped.
The woman recalled that it all started in May when she reported the loss of her phone at the station.
She claimed that she placed her phone on a roadside betting kiosk popularly known as Baba Ijebu, where some youngsters sat in order to tie her wrapper properly, adding that when she was done, she did not find the phone again.
“They said they did not see my phone and so, I had to go to the police to report. They were invited but at the end of the day, the Investigating Police Officer (IPO) said I accused them wrongly and asked us to go.
“From that day, whenever I passed, they would be threatening me and making snide remarks. I never replied them. I even reported the matter to our Community Development Association (CDA). But on June 25, my son came from Ikorodu and they stopped him on the road and threatened him as well. They said they would kill us if we did not leave the street for them.
“There was no way I would allow them threaten my son and so, I went out and confronted that particular area boy. He pushed me. I also pushed him back.
“We started fighting; people separated us and I left. The next thing, police came and arrested me that I have injured him and that he could not walk again. They took me to the station and locked me up inside the cell.
“I even asked Egi why I was the only one arrested, since it was two fighting but he said the complainant was in the hospital. That I have not seen anything yet.”
Mowette said she rebuffed Egi’s love advances, claiming that the policeman told her she was in for a hard time.
She said he rained curses on her and also poured water on her through the cell’s ventilation holes.
“I told him I will not sleep with him even if he was the last man on earth. This got him angry and he started pouring water through those holes and said he would pour urine too. After some hours, he brought me out that I should come and write my statement. I told him I will not write anything because I do not know what he wanted me to write.
“He then pressed my breasts and said is this what you are doing Shakara with? Do you know how many young and beautiful women I have slept with here? I will even be doing you a favour by sleeping with you.
“Since you have refused, you will go to prison. There, they will shave the hair in your private parts, your hair and lock you up for many years.
“My sister, the worst part was that a policewoman and another policeman were telling me to agree to sleep with Egi that it is a normal thing. I was so angry and disappointed at the same time. The woman called me Iyawo Egi and said that if I should agree, they will just close the case and I will go home.
“But I stood my ground. How can I agree to sleep with him? For what? Egi said he’s the only one that can help me that I should befriend him. I refused that never will I do such, he threatened to take me to court.
“He forced me to say my statement. I did not write it. I was just talking and he was writing. He did not let me see what he wrote. He asked the guy if he’s ready to go to court but he said no that he wanted settlement and that I should pay N40,000 he used to treat himself.
“Egi now said I should pay the money or I will be sent to Kirikiri Prison. Out of fear, I accepted to pay the money and they said I had to provide it that day. I told them I did not have it that day. I even went to beg the Divisional Police Officer (DCO) but he shouted at me and said I should go and settle with Egi my IPO.
“After rallying round for some days to raise money and I could not, I went back to the police station and told Egi that I could not raise money. He said if I had agreed to cooperate with him, the matter would have been closed. That day was Friday and so, he gave me till Monday to provide the money.
“So, I went to my uncle for help and he gave me N5,000, which I took to the station but Egi said it was not complete. I told him I could not raise more and he started harassing me and touching my breast. I knocked off his hands and he said I must bring the money the next day. He also threatened to kill me if I tell anyone what happened.
“I had to run to the palace for help because I did not know what to do again. I am happy I met you here. Please, I need help. The Commissioner of Police and government need to know what is happening. They need to investigate Ilaje Police Division.”
Edgal directed the Gender Unit to conduct a discreet investigation into the case, adding that the matter would not be swept under the carpet, restating his intolerance for misconduct or any action capable of smearing the police.
He said: “Please, always bring matters like these to my attention. I assure you it will be investigated, the truth established and actions taken.”
It was gathered that the parties have made statements and asked to return on Tuesday.
Keeping Up With the Kardashians matriarch, Kris Jenner in a candid interview with Fox News Channel’s OBJECTified opened up on how her infidelity broke her marriage to the late Robert Kardashian Sr.
In the interview set to air Sunday, Jenner, 62, said one of her biggest regrets in life was having an affair during her marriage to Robert Kardashian.
“I married Robert when I was 22 years old and I got pregnant on my honeymoon — I had the happiest life you could’ve dreamt about,” she recalls to host Harvey Levin. “But when you’re in something, sometimes people think the grass is always greener and that was like what I think I went through at some point.”
Asked about her “affair with a soccer player,” Jenner acknowledges that it’s true.
“I did, I did,” she says. “Which wasn’t — nothing I’m proud of. When I look back on it now, probably one of my biggest regrets in my life is that that marriage fell apart.”
Because it made it real,” she says. “Like, you think you’re going to come through this period — that was really hard for me.”
According to her, things became worst for her when Kardashian,a high-powered businessman, and attorney cut off her credit cards.
“I didn’t have anything,” she recalls. “I went to the market one day and my credit card didn’t work. I had a market credit card and I’m like, ‘I can’t even buy a tomato.’ “
Kardashian who married Jenner in 1978 later divorced her in 1991. Before their divorce, they welcomed four children together: Kourtney, 39, Kim, 37, Khloé, 34, and Rob, 31.
Robert Kardashian Sr., who was diagnosed with esophageal cancer in July 2003 and died less than eight weeks later, at age 59, on Sept. 30, 2003

An Instagram Model, Katarina Zarutskie was badly bitten by a Shark while she was swimming and taking photos.
Zarutskie was fortunate to still have her arm after a nurse shark latched onto it and dragged her under water while swimming with a school of seemingly harmless sharks in the Bahamas last month.
The 19-year-old Zarutskie, an avid surfer from Laguna Beach, California, and a nursing student, told Fox News she was on vacation with her boyfriend and his family when locals told her about the opportunity to swim with nurse sharks in Staniel Cay.
She added the locals were “very encouraging” in telling her to try the activity.
“We had seen all these nurse sharks swimming around the marina and I had already known, because I have surfed my whole life; that nurse sharks are relatively harmless
“I thought it was safe and I saw kids snorkeling, and against my boyfriend’s family’s wishes I thought it would be fine,” Zarutskie said.
The nursing student recalled everything being fine when she first entered the water until she leaned back and held her arms out.
Her boyfriend’s father was snapping pictures and captured the moment the shark sank its teeth into her arm and pulled her under.
“It was very scary. I was pulled under and I’m very fortunate it was a minor situation. It could have been way worse; they could have all started to attack given that they have a pack mentality,” Zarutskie said.
She added: “Everyone said they could hear the bite. They said it sounded like a big vacuum seal sort of thing and it all happened very fast. I was not screaming and crying. I was staying very calm.”
Zarutskie said her past training for surfing and scuba diving quickly kicked in and helped her in the situation.
She said she was “very blessed” she was able to quickly rip her arm out of the shark’s mouth and cover the wound to prevent blood from getting to the other sharks lurking around.
“If the shark would have got my hand in a different way, I probably would not have been able to get my hand out,” she said.
Staniel Cay marina owner David Hocher told NBC NEWS there was a warning sign posted in the area stating visitors must “swim with the sharks at your own risk.” He added it appeared the Instagram model went in the water during feeding time.
Zarutskie said she did not see a sign where she entered and would have never gone in the water if they were feeding the sharks.
She also said she is not placing blame on anyone for the incident but believes the bite was “all a big accident” and the shark may have mistaken her for a piece of food.
She added: “We will never know.”
Nurse sharks are slow-moving bottom-dwellers that are mostly harmless to humans, according to National Geographic. The sharks, however, will bite people as a defense if they are stepped on or bothered.
They are known to have strong jaws to crush hard food such as shellfish and coral.
The 19-year-old said it is been a journey healing the bite wound. Zarutskie encountered multiple complications and doctors believe there may still be “pieces of the tooth” lodged in her arm.
“It was a humbling experience and I have learned a lot,” she said.
Despite the scary experience, Zarutskie said she still loves the wildlife and sharks and hopes to bring awareness to the animals. As for returning to Staniel Cay, the California native said she would go back in a heartbeat.

“This made me smile I want that kind of love. A very good friend (male) shared 3 things to look out for in a good man with me very recently and I need the guys to jump on this one. did he sell you out or is this for real???
“1. A man must have a healthy fear of you. He must have the fear of losing you, that is very necessary to keep him from doing stupid ish. 2. A man must wake up every other day and feel undeserving of you, that’s what will make him work to keep you like he must feel, how in the world did he get so blessed or he must have done something good to have you in his life.

A Doctor had a shocking experience at work and the young lady went on social media to share her story.
The Doctor took to twitter to narrate her experience with an abused child, her mother and their neighbor.
She said the beautiful 3-year old girl walked into her office with her mum and another woman. She asked what the problem was and found out the yong girl was raped by a neighbor’s son, in which she later found out that the so called neighbor was the other woman that followed the woman and her daughter and her son was the perpetrator.
A Nigerian Doctor identified as Etin-Osa Imagbenikaro has laughed off the arm sling and neck collar worn by Governor Fayose after he accused operatives of the Nigeria Police Force of beating him up.
She has insinuated that Fayose’s claims of being attacked by the security operatives might be false.
According to her, the arm sling and the neck collar worn by the People’s Democratic Party chieftain wasn’t professionally fixed giving indications that the incident might have been choreographed.
“I actually do not understand this contraption. I’ve tried to hold it in. But I’ve been laughing hard. If anyone tells me they fixed this for him in a hospital, I’d be shocked beyond belief.
“How do you connect an arm sling to a neck collar that’s bracing a “broken neck”?” she posted on Twitter.
It would be recalled that there was drama in Ado Ekiti on Wednesday as Governor Ayo Fayose said he was brutalised by policemen who allegedly stormed the main entrance to the Ekiti State Government House to stop a rally by the Peoples Democratic Party.
Residents said there were gunshots at the main entrance to the Government House while tear gas canisters were reportedly shot to disperse the crowd at the rally.
Fayose cried and sat on the ground at a press conference claiming his life was under threat and the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris could be held responsible if anything happens to him.
Fayose’s claims have been laughed off on social media with many accusing him of play-acting as insinuated below:
Popular Nigerian clergyman, Apostle Johnson Suleman has been spotted visiting a camp for the Internally Displaced Persons in Adamawa.
It has been revealed that the officials of NEMA Yola Operations Office received Apostle Suleman Johnson of Omega Ministry Church Nationwide at Malkohi IDP Camp.
The Pastor was received by Mr. Ali Kadiri Moses and other team members of the NEMA on behalf of the head of Operations Nema Yola Operations Office Mr Abani Imam Garki in collaboration with stakeholders.

He emphasized that the items donated were meant to be distributed among the three formal camps in the state.
Twitter announced it will start purging millions of accounts today as it specified that it would be removing locked accounts from follower accounts across profiles globally, which would lead to a drop in follower counts.
The accounts which will suffer as a result of the move by the micro-blogging platform are accounts that the company ‘detected sudden changes in their behaviour’.
Also, accounts which are not validated will face the risk of getting purged.
Twitter stated that users are going to notice a reduce in followers i.e about 4, but those with lots of followers will experience a huge reduction.
The change is already happening and people have started noticing the drop in the number of their followers.
Starting with the more popular accounts on Twitter, Katy Perry, the most followed person on Twitter has lost over 2 million, Twitter itself has lost a cool 7.5 million, Obama over 2 million and interesting enough, Donald Trump has only lost 100,000 followers.
Dakore Egbuson-Akande, who is happily married to Olumide, son of Ibadan-born billionaire, Chief Harry Akande has revealed her relationship with co-actor, Richard Mofe Damijo and why she still kisses deeply in movies despite her martial status.
The Nollywood actress has not stopped explaining herself weeks after video of her and veteran actor RMD deep-kissing surfaced.
Dakore who played the role of a sexy wife of RMD in a new TV series, Castle & Castle, where she was seen deeply romantically involved with him, explained that although she is quite selective with movies scripts, her husband, Olumide gives her the go-ahead to explore.
Here is what the busy mother of two told The Entertainer:
“Since the beginning of my career, I have been selective of the kind of people I work with, and the kind of scripts I accept. It’s part of having the spirit of excellence.
“My passionate kiss with RMD comes with the job. I try as much as I can to steer away from such romantic roles, but I can’t keep steering and find myself totally out.
“However, my husband and I have an understanding. At the end of the day, I’m his wife; he is the one I go home to.
“He is the one I love. He is the father of my kids. RMD and I also have a connection, we have done such movie before. We both understand duty call.”
Rihanna has reacted with humour after photos of her yelling at her billionaire Arab boyfriend,Jameel surfaced Rihanna looked visibly upset as they lounged outside a hotel in Mexico.
However, Riri may have a reason for it and it just might be – ‘football’.
In a subtle way, she wrote on IG ;
“when u think u know more bout soccer ??? #worldcup2018,” Rihanna captioned the image of a male lion timidly backing away from the growling female feline, which somewhat resembled her passionately pointing fingers at Jameel while in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
Hassan, 29, was pictured explaining something and defensively gestured towards his chest as Rihanna pointed her finger in his direction.
The New York Fashion Week which took place few days ago, came with a historical achievement and it was made by a 19-year-old Nigerian boy, Taofeek Abijako.
He became the the youngest designer to present a collection at New York Fashion Week: Men’s this year.
The teenager started the brand just two years ago with the intent to generate impactful statements through his work.
Previous collections entitled, “Cruel Hands” and “Hooligans,” consisted of apparel with these thought-provoking statements: “Disorder: In Mutiny We Trust” and “Palaver Child.”
“I approach Head of State+ as less of a brand and more of a case study. It’s me digging into my cultural upbringing while trying to have a firm grasp and understanding of it.
“My belief is furthering a philosophy of thoughtful, inconspicuous, and honest design across the board,” the Nigerian-born designer shared with the CFDA.”
According to CFDA, his label “pays homage to his past by celebrating his West African culture through a contemporary perspective, or, as he Abijako puts it, ‘minimalist streetwear approach with social and political commentary.’”
“My dad was a trained fashion designer while living in Nigeria and dealt mostly with local traditional garments. Growing up in an environment like that sparked my curiosity in design,” Taofeek said.
When asked about his inspiration for the street wear brand’s upcoming “Genesis” collection, he shared that it’ll portray “the vibrancy of West African youth culture in the ‘70s and Fela Kuti.” The new collection is guaranteed to be groundbreaking in design and social impact.
The menswear label will be debuting its Spring/Summer ’19 collection at Men’s New York Fashion Week.
Abijako was still a senior at Albany High School when he released the look book for his first collection on his Twitter feed. A few weeks later, when an email from a buyer for the Japanese luxury retailer United Arrows arrived, he assumed it was a prank perpetrated by friends. The buyer asked to visit his studio; since Abijako was working out of his childhood bedroom, he demurred, and instead they met in Manhattan.
President Muhammadu Buhari has admitted to being a very slow reader because he is an Ex-Soldier.
Buhari made the disclosure while explaining his delay in signing the $3 trillion African Free-Trade Agreement, during a joint press conference with the visiting South African President, Cyril Ramaphosa.
According to Buhari, “I am very careful about what I sign, whether it is my cheque book or agreements, especially when it involves nations and states.
“As your President has said, we are so populated and have so many young unemployed citizens and our industries are just coming up.
“So, in trying to guarantee employment, goods and services in our country, we have to be careful with agreements that will compete, maybe successfully, against our upcoming industries.
“I was presented with the document; I am a very slow reader maybe because I am an ex-soldier.
“I didn’t read it fast enough before my officials saw that it was all right for signature. I kept it on my table. I will soon sign it.”
She turned 50 yesterday and yes she is a Nigerian. She is blessed with two boys, she still likes to refer to herself as a ‘small girl’.
She’s Kate Henshaw’s friend and when Kate wished her a Happy 50th Birthday her followers couldn’t believe she is 50, as many mocked themselves saying though they are younger, she looks much more younger than them.
Popular Nollywood Actress, Toyin Abraham yesterday engaged her IG followers in a question and answer session and while it was all fun and games, a particular ‘non-fan or troll’s comment irked the talented actress so much that she gave him the attention he was seeking.
Toyin shared the photo above, asking if she should venture into the political world, just like most of her colleagues in the movie industry do.
The Instagram user with the handle @i.m_mahraj felt it was appropriate to give his opinion by calling her an ‘Ode’ which means fool in Yoruba, Toyin Abraham would not have that as she gave him a brutal reply.
See their exchange below ;
Another user also had this to say ;
If you still love your career, love yourslef and integrity don’t think of going into Politics.
Toyin then replied ; Calm down please, it’s not that deep.
A doctor and his driver miraculously survived after his car was crushed when a tanker fell from the Ojuelegba bridge and landed on cars, killing commuters, on June 19, 2018.
Professor Olufemi Adetola Fasanmade was one of those affected in the crash. His car was badly crushed. But he and his driver managed to come out alive from the car.
Fred Chukwulobe, a friend of Professor Fasanmade, shared a photo of the badly damaged car and gave a testimony on behalf of the professor.
He wrote:
“MIRACLE STILL HAPPENS.
THANK GOD FOR MY DOCTOR AND FRIEND, PROF. Olufemi Adetola Fasanmade who miraculously survived this terrible accident. An articulated vehicle fell on top of his car, crushing it and not him.
He and his driver came out of this mangled car with minor injuries. Praise God.
Prof. Fasanmade, an endocrinologist and an amiable human being, treats my mother and my family. I recall each time I go visiting him, we discuss the challenges confronting our beleaguered nation. He’s so passionate about this country and will always tell me how he looked forward to the day our country will come out of the woods.
Unlike many doctors who see themselves as next to God, Prof. Fasanmade is approachable and is also ready to help at the shortest notice. He can diagnose and prescribe medicine for you in an emergency without asking for deposit. On many occasions and in crisis situations, he has had to come to my mother’s aid even without seeing her. Once she’s stabilised, he’d would ask that I bring her to the hospital for him to see and follow up.
You can imagine my excitement when I learnt he was the one in this car which was crushed by a care less articulated vehicle driver.
I am so overjoyed that I’m sharing this post in celebration of a miraculous survival of my dear friend.
I am so happy that he’s alive and well and will continue to provide healthcare to the people who rely on him in a country where healthcare provision is a tall dream.
Please join me in thanking God for their survival.
President Buhari yesterday, July-12th-2018, described himself as a very slow reader.
The president made this description of himself during a joint press briefing with visiting South African president Cyril Ramaphosa.
Speaking on why he is yet to sign the Continental Free Trade Agreement (CFTA) , the president said
“I am very careful about what I sign whether it is my cheque book or agreements especially when it involves nations and states. As your president has said, we are so populated and have so many young unemployed citizens and our industries are just coming up. So, in trying to guarantee employment, goods and services in our country, we have to be careful with agreements that will compete maybe successfully against our upcoming industries.
I was presented with the document. I am a very slow reader maybe, because I am an ex- soldier. I didn’t read it fast enough before my officials saw that it was all right for signature. I kept it on my table. I will soon sign it.”
The CFTA is an agreement which 44 African countries have aggreed to sign so as to form a $2.5 trillion continental free-trade zone, with a view of helping the continent “create a single continental market for goods and services, with free movement of business persons and investments”.

Shridhar Chillal, an octogenarian from India, has finally perform an ordinary chore that he has not done in the last 66 years – cut his fingernails – the longest in the world.
The historic nail-cutting ceremony took place at Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Museum in Times Square.
The 82-year-old had been growing the nails on his left hand since he was 14, having been inspired to do so after a teacher told him off when he accidentally broke a very long nail the teacher had grown.
The teacher told Chillal that he wouldn’t understand the kind of care it took not to break a long nail unless he did it himself. Chilal certainly took that to heart.
According to Wikipedia, Shridhar Chillal held the world record for the longest fingernails ever reached on a single hand, with a combined length of 909.6 centimeters.
Three men died, on Thursday, after being struck by lightning following a downpour in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun.
The incident occurred opposite the Otunba Dipo Dina International Stadium road in Ijebu-Ode at about 3 pm.
It was gathered that the victims, and a fourth person, had disembarked from their motorcycles and ran toward a makeshift shelter for the rains to subside when tragedy struck.
The three victims were said to have been hit while the fourth person took to his heels unharmed.
Bystanders refrained from going near the corpses for fear that the occurrence was related to perceived punishment from Sango, the god of thunder, for wrong doing.
I want that kind of love. A very good friend (male) shared 3 things to look out for in a good man with me very recently and I need the guys to jump on this one. did he sell you out or is this for real???
