Nigerian actor and comedian, Williams Uchemba has helped the child who was pictured on the street selling Plantain at night to reunite with his family.
The actor posted on his Instagram page, in search of the child, any one who can get in contact with the child parent or guardians.
He wrote:
“Can someone please help me get to this child or his parents..I need a number or something…please.. whoever just took this picture should help me go back there..he is not suppose to be on the street”.
Few hours later, he found the child with the help of some Instagram Samaritans and the comedian took to his Instagram page to share the good news.
With the hopes of taking the young boy off the streets of Lagos, Uchemba made contact with the boy’s relatives and he found out the boy has been taken away from his parents by a woman who promised to give him education but instead she turned him into a money making machine by sending him into the streets of Lagos to hawk plantain.
The boy said he hadn’t eaten in three days and his parents weren’t aware of the fact that he hawks, he would also love to see his parents.
Uchemba promised to get him on the next flight to Akwa Ibom, which is the boy’s hometown and make sure to put him on scholarship.
See post below:
“So I had a video chat with Joseph, he is 10 years old and his from akwa Ibom state. He told me that he is living with a woman that took him from his parents in the village and promised that she will send him to school in Lagos because his parents couldn’t afford to train him, but when he got to Lagos instead of school the lady put him on the street to sell things and bring money back to her.
“I have tried to talk with the lady to have a better understanding of the situation but she doesn’t want to talk instead she said we can take the boy.
“I have spoken with Joseph and he said he wants to go back home and go to school because his parents who he hasn’t seen or spoken to doesn’t know that he is hawking in Lagos , and yes he hasn’t eaten in 3 days..
“Anyway I want to clean him up today and put him on the flight today to akwa Ibom with some people, know what the parents needs and put him on Scholarship with the help of God.
“He has a bright future( I can tell) and if not for anything kids his age are not suppose to be on the street but in school..he is one out of many and I can’t take all off the road alone so I urge you to help the ones you can when you see them”.

Tanzanian recording artist, singer songwriter and youth activist – Vanessa Mdee and her musician boyfriend Juma Jux are in trouble after kissing on stage during a performance.
The lovebirds who recently got back together early this year after breaking up for six months decided to spice things up on stage and President John Magufuli government is not impressed with the gesture.
While on stage performing, Jux and Vanessa knelt down and kissed passionately as the crowd cheered them on. The couple then posted a picture of the kiss on social media which is a direct breach of the strict regulations passed by the government that banned posting of cozy photos online.
While majority of fans gave positive comments on social media, Tanzania Communication Regulatory (Basata) went hard on them. According to Basata’s Chief Executive Godfry Mngereza, the picture was provocative and hence they will not turn a blind eye.
It is not clear what action will taken against the artist and her lover but the commission has warned other artists from posting such photos on their social media insisting that they will hunt them down for the sake of upholding morality.
Nigerian entertainer and human rights activist, Charly Boy has criticized the modern day Christianity being practiced in Nigeria today.
According to the Charly, Pentecostalism which is a brand of Christianity practiced in the country is nothing but fraud and an easy way to make money.
In Area Fada’s words ;
“I Decree now that my people are dying to believe in something, especially if it’s magical, because we have the messiah complex. Somebody out there, will come sooner than later, to make all our problems disappear. Na so. That is why we are paralysed and corrupted by fear, we can’t even stand up to injustice. We are waiting for God to come rescue us.
“Pentecostalism has promoted miracles over hard work, materialism over spirituality. Even if one goes into pastoring on a pure and innocent level, you can’t help but be corrupted by easy money when you sell hope and create enemies all over.
“It is a cool way to make a living and make decisions that bring in the cash. Pentecostalism na modern-day commercial enterprise garnished in the cloak of religion with deception and exploitation as its foundation.
“Their goal na the complete monetization of people’s ignorance. It remains the only legally and politically accepted movement completely based upon systematic fraud, deception and cheating.”
The spiritual director of Adoration Ministry in Enugu, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka has described President Muhammadu Buhari as one who has been caged by the cabal in Nigeria.
The cleric said this during an exclusive chat with the publisher of SaharaReporters and 2019 presidential aspirant, Omoyele Sowore.
Fr. Mbaka said in parts ;
“Buhari meant well for the country but I can see Buhari as a man whose ideologies has been kidnapped, I can see somebody that is bemused, I can see a man that is confused, I can see Buhari in spite of his goodwill he has some people around him that his no ideology that is in tandem with his,”
“When I was telling Jonathan and Co, they can’t come back instead of believing, they started attacking me and God says the chair is vacant Buhari will take over, I never knew who Buhari was. They accused me of being sponsored by Buhari and God knows until now Buhari has never given me One Kobo.
“I Am not against his leadership because he has not given me anything, am only unhappy with him because he doesn’t want to make necessary changes.
“The much I know about Buhari is he meant well, but it’s too unfortunate that he is caged by people who are not telling him the truth.”
A 92-year-old woman has allegedly killed her son in Arizona because she did not want to be sent to an assisted living facility. Anna Mae Blessing was charged with first degree murder, aggravated assault and kidnapping after authorities found her 72-year-old son dead on Monday at their home in Fountain Hills.
Blessing hid two pistols in the pockets of her robe and shot her son several times in his bedroom, the sheriff’s office said in a statement. Her son’s girlfriend was also in the room and said she heard Blessing telling her son she was tired of the way he treated her, court documents said.
“From my understanding, she had thought about it for a few days because there was a dispute regarding her son wanting to put her in an assisted living home,” Maricopa County Sgt. Bryant Vanejas told CNN affiliate KPHO.
Blessing then pointed the gun at her son’s girlfriend, who struggled with her until she lost her grip of the gun. When Blessing pulled out the second pistol from her robe, her son’s girlfriend also knocked it out of her hand, the statement said. Once she was disarmed, Blessing sat on a reclining chair until deputies arrived and arrested her, officials said.
“As the suspect was being escorted from the residence, she made a spontaneous statement to the effect of ‘You took my life, so I’m taking yours,'” court documents said. Blessing moved in with her son and his girlfriend about six months ago, the affiliate reported.
She told deputies she had purchased one of the guns in the late 1970s and that her husband gave her the other pistol, court documents say.
Thousands of Chinese are pouring out their grief on social media following the death of a “psychic” cat, Baidian’er that correctly predicted the outcome of Nigeria and Argentina match at Russia FIFA World Cup.
The cat, bearing the name that means white spot in Chinese, also predicted the outcome of of five other World Cup games.
The orange-furred tabby was a stray cat that prowled around the Palace Museum in Beijing’s Forbidden City.
He was offered two bowls of food, with the flags of competing World Cup teams stuck in the ground behind them to make the predictions.
He achieved such fame that the Palace Museum even set up an account for him on China’s Weibo, a popular Twitter-like platform.
Unfortunately, Baidian’er’s correct prediction of an Argentinian win against Nigeria turned out to be his last.
The museum said the cat fell ill and finally announced its death on Monday, sparking almost 10,000 comments on Weibo.
“Every time I go to the Forbidden City, I have to go see Baidian’er, take a photo, play for a while, see him sleep on the grass in the sun,” wrote one distraught user.
“Go on living a happy life in Cat Heaven, I’ll see you again.”
It has not been a good week for animal prognosticators.
In Japan, an octopus caught in the northern region of Hokkaido correctly predicted the outcome of three of Japan’s World Cup matches, but like the Blue Samurai met an unfortunate fate.
Even before Japan qualified for the final 16, the octopus named Rabio was reportedly sold and turned into sashimi.
Rabio was following on from the most successful salty soothsayer, an Octopus named Paul who achieved global fame by correctly predicting eight 2010 World Cup games from his aquarium in Germany.
Paul became a worldwide media sensation, with his latter predictions covered by hordes of international media.
But Paul fell offside with his home fans after correctly predicting that Germany would lose to Spain. His aquarium received menacing letters threatening to turn him into a tasty dish.
In the stands, the honour of Paul’s mother was called into question and some sections of the crowd watching on giant screens in Berlin sang anti-octopus songs
A self-acclaimed traditional healer, Edem Bassey Otu, pictured above, who was arrested with two human skulls while allegedly preparing some cultists for an outing, has said the Police have no right to arrest him because the skulls they found in his shrine were left behind by his father, who died some eight years ago.
Bassey who was paraded before newsmen at the Cross Rivers state Police command yesterday July 4th, said he is a herbalist who treats people with different ailment and that he learnt the trade from his deceased father.
“I am a herbalist and I heal people of different sickness. I have my license to operate as a herbalist. Somebody ran in front of my house and the Police came to my house to arrest me. They have no right because I have been using these skulls for my job since my father left them for me some eight years ago” he said
Briefing newsmen on how the suspect was arrested, the state Commissioner of Police, Hafiz Mohammed Inuwa, said the command had received a distress call from an unknown number that some group of cultists were undergoing a fortification ritual and they immediately swung into action.
“On 27th June 2018 at about 1400hrs, we received a distress call from an unknown number that some group of cultists were undergoing a fortification ritual. Anti-cultism/kidnapping squad swung into action and arrested one Otu Edem Bassey of 12b Etim Edem Street while others took to their heels,” the Commissioner said.
Inuwa said items recovered from Bassey includes two human skulls, charms and other items used for incantation. He said the suspect would be charged to court after investigations have been concluded.
Yesterday, a youth corps member, Linda Angela Igwetu, who was meant to pass out today July 5th, was shot dead by a trigger-happy policeman in Abuja.
Miss Linda was out celebrating her passing out with her friends when the policeman shot the car she was in. She sustained gunshot wound and was rushed to Garki hospital but the hospital refused treating her because there was no police report authorizing them to treat her gunshot wound. She bled to death.
Falz, who is also a lawyer, says no hospital has the right to deny even an armed robber treatment.
Linda Angela Igwetu
In his words ;
If somebody has a gunshot wound and they are brought to your hospital, you are supposed to treat them, not ask for any f*cking police report.
Even if na suspected armed robber, Who are you to deprive them of the right to stay alive? Let the court pass judgment.
Mercy Johnson Okojie wrote “We said our final good bye to our loving mother a few days ago. Adieu, Mama. Thanks to everyone for your prayers and support during this time.”

They just started cleaning today because Macron is in town and would most likely go through this road.
Basically we as citizens are not entirely entitled to clean roads. The real Lagos island is an eye sore in terms of sanitation. pic.twitter.com/X3YXJNfxNA
This Lagos overnight road construction for Macron’s visit is reminiscent of children in primary/secondary school doing assignment a day before submission, or Uni students rushing to do project at the end of sem, or a worker rushing a report in the office..
How the same roads i take daily has become a first world road in 48hours is proof that our leaders can perform when the stakes are high. It means if 15 macrons can visit 15 areas in Lagos state every road problems in those 15 areas can fixed in 48hours. #thisisNigeria

Daddy Freeze in his reaction to French President, Emmanuel Macron’s visit to Afrikan shrine has said he has come to realize that Fela was a Prophet sent by God himself.
He wrote: “when I was growing up my born again aunt told me that Fela was evil. I believed her.
“Now that I’m older, I have come to realize that he was a prophet sent to us by God himself.
“All his prophesies have come to pass, while those paid with tithe and offering to prophesy are liars from the pits of hades who worship mammon with all their essence”.
Read his post below:
Today, reflecting upon my aunts words, I come to the realization that she was the evil one, selling the religion of our colonial masters as ‘good’ while destroying the sanctity of our own prophets. If only more people had taken Fela seriously and ignored our pastors, maybe we won’t be here today, who knows.
I’m a Christian, a born again Christian and a teacher of Christianity, the real Jewish Christianity, not the British version my colleagues teach, as Jesus did not come from ‘Jand’, he came from Jerusalem!
What our colonial masters taught us as Christianity was a figment of their fertile imagination, designed to encourage legendary embellishment and make them look like gods, so as to keep us in continued worship, long after their last ship departed.
I’m here to change all that. Throw away your pastors tapes and CDs filled with lies and unlettered understanding of manipulated scriptures and get some Fela music today. Big shout out to Emmanuel Macron, who visited us to appreciate what we have always had, but never had much value for!

According to the report, some area boys revealed that the girl’s boyfriend had met them to help him with what to do because his girlfriend was laughing at him that he doesn’t know how to service her well and last long in bed and that her ex-boyfriend was better.
The young man was directed to meet somebody who mixed a concoction for him to drink and be “empowered”.

A man identified as Henry Anaele has been remanded in prison by an Ebute Meta Chief Magistrates’ Court for beating his wife to death over N200 gift she collected from an individual.
The Chief Magistrate, O.O. Olatunji, said the accused should be remanded at the Ikoyi Prisons pending advice from the State Director of Public prosecutions (DPP).
Mr Anaele, 40, whose plea was not taken, had appeared on a charge for murder.
Earlier, a police inspector, Cousin Adams, told the court that the accused had committed the offence on June 15, at about 11.45 p.m, at No. 72, Goodness
Estate, Satellite Town, Lagos.
Mr Adams said that the accused had found out that someone gave his wife– Chinyere, 35, the sum of N200, which did not go down well with him. And upon questioning her, he claimed she could not give any tangible answer as to why she would accept the money from the giver.
“This angered the accused who beat up his wife to death for collecting the money. He made an attempt to escape but was apprehended by neigbours and then handed over to the police’’ he said.
The offence contravened Section 223 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015 which prescribes a death sentence for offenders.
