News have made rounds that a deaf Kenyan couple who dated for over a year through text messages got married last weekend in a rare wedding ceremony that was presided over by a deaf pastor.
According to report, William Mwaura, 29, and Phyllis Wawira 28, got married at Kang’eng’u ACK church in Kandara Constituency, Murang’a, Kenya on Saturday after a one and half years of courtship.
Their wedding which featured a deaf priest, deaf couple and deaf bridesmaids, attracted a huge crowd who were packed at the wedding venue to witness the rare ceremony.
The bride and bridegroom’s parents and villagers were able to follow the proceedings of the wedding through an interpreter.
The interpreter, identified as Immanuel Muigai, said the couple, William Mwaura and Phyllis Wawira, met in 2016 during a church function. Both of them are members of Deaf Mission Fellowship Church, a church Mr Muigai also belongs to.
“After interacting, the two church members became friends, then became concerned friends and then love birds and that’s how a courtship begun,’ Mr Muigai said.
The two kept their love blossoming through text messages which greatly contributed to their interactions.
They told Kenya’s The Nation, that they are ready to settle as a husband and wife.
Speaking through sign language, Mr Mwaura said:
“When I met my lover one and half years ago, I felt new and something clicked my mind that I had met my helper.”
The groom is a carpenter while the bride runs a beauty salon.
Yesterday, Nigeria’s President Buhari met with President Trump in Washington where both leaders spoke on a number of issues ranging from economy to security and Anti-corruption moves.
Below is the full text of President Buhari’s speech…
Mr. president,
Senior Government officials,
I have just had excellent discussions with President Trump and I would like to reiterate my immense gratitude to you, Mr. President for your kind invitation and the very warm and generous hospitality extended to me and my delegation since our arrival in the United States;
2. We greatly appreciate the importance your administration attaches to a strong relationship with Nigeria. The United States remains for us a valued friend and strategic partner, whose support and solidarity over the years has meant a great deal to us. Our government’s three main priority areas are:
a) Security
b) Anti-corruption and good governance
c) Economic growth and job creation
3. We congratulate you, Mr. President on the statesmanly role you have played in so dramatically transforming the course of events in the Korean Peninsula to make the denuclearization of the region a real possibility.
4. On security, please accept our sincere congratulations on the important role played by the US in the defeat of ISIS, although some of the remnants have found their way to the Sahel region. We are very grateful for the strong US support in our fight against terrorism. We also appreciate very much your agreement to sell twelve Super Tucano A-29 war planes and weapons to Nigeria to effectively fight terrorism.
5. To contain the spate of insurgency in Nigeria, the Federal government has adopted a multi-sectoral approach, involving relevant government agencies to address the socio-economic and political dimensions while the Armed Forces of Nigeria assist the civil authorities to provide security and maintain law and order.
6. As part of efforts to address emerging cases of insurgency in the country, the Nigerian Military adopted a non-kinetic counter terrorism/counter insurgency approach code-named “Operation safe corridor”, to de-radicalize, re-habilitate, and re-integrate willingly surrendered Boko-Haram members into the larger society.
7. This programme is currently embarking on a number of projects including: skill acquisition centers and integrated farms; comprising poultry, fishpond and greenhouse farming, among others.
8. A number of international partners, including the International Organization for Migration have contributed to the success of Operation Safe Corridor. We will also appreciate whatever support we could also get from the US.
9. We are extremely grateful for your government’s support in the reconstruction and rehabilitation efforts in the North East of Nigeria, as well as humanitarian assistance to the Internally Displaced Persons, through agencies such as the United States Agency for International Development and other international partners.
10. The USA has been to date the biggest contributor to the humanitarian response and last year gave approximately 500 million US Dollars in cash and in-kind contributions through the United Nations and other inter-governmental organizations. These have mainly supported protection activities, namely health, food assistance and shelter.
11. We are doing all we can to secure the release of the remaining abducted schoolgirls from Dapchi and Chibok. In this context, we will continue to welcome US collaboration in intelligence gathering, hostage negotiations and information-sharing.
12. The government is taking necessary steps to promote the peaceful co-existence of herdsmen and farmers, by focusing on boosting security and enforcing legislation that will guarantee herders and farmers’ access to land, reducing strife and promoting harmonizing economic activities.
13. I wish to extend sincere congratulations to you and your government on the impressive performance of the US economy under your watch.
14. Our aim is to diversify our economy by focusing on agriculture and food security; power and infrastructure. We have cut the importation of rice by about 90% thereby saving a significant amount of money. We very much welcome increased US investment in the Nigerian economy, especially in the non-oil sector.
15. Economic relations between Nigeria and the United States are anchored on three major instruments, namely: the Bi-National Commission, Trade and Investment Framework Agreement and the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act.
16. The Bi-National Commission in particular, comprising bilateral political, economic, developmental and humanitarian partnership, is a basic economic framework for engagement between our two countries.
17. Nigeria’s trade volume with the United States stood at six point zero-seven billion United States Dollars according to 2016 statistics and comprised four point one-seven-six billion united States dollars worth of Nigerian exports to the US and one point eight-nine-four billion United States Dollars US exports to Nigeria. We should work to increase these figures substantially and to make balance of trade more even.
18. We thank your government very much for the cooperation we have received in our effort to recover stolen funds. Our two governments have put the machinery in place for their respective Attorneys-General to collaborate in ensuring the return to Nigeria of over five hundred million United States Dollars ($500) of looted funds siphoned away in banks around the world.
19. In this connection, we congratulate the US government on launching a Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative, which was spearheaded by the US Department of Justice Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering. We hope that we can continue to count on your support in our efforts to recover our money.
20. The Government of Nigeria remains deeply committed to the principles of human rights as well as the promotion and protection of people’s freedom, even in the process of fighting terror. We will ensure that all documented cases of human rights abuses are investigated and those responsible for violations held accountable for their actions.
21. In addition, the Executive Secretary of the National Human Rights Commission of Nigeria inaugurated the Nigerian Military Human Rights Dialogue in August 2015 to provide the Nigerian Military and Para-Military with necessary tools to integrate human rights practices into their code, education systems, field training and disciplinary systems.
22. To this end, the victims of a criminal law enforcement operation that occurred in 2013 (otherwise known as Apo-six) were compensated in April this year based on the findings of the National Human Rights Commission. Two of the police officers responsible were convicted for culpable homicide arising from the extra-judicial killings.
23. Mr. President, this is the first time in the history of Nigeria that the Federal Government compensated the victims of extra-judicial killings. It also provides a sustainable platform for local and international human rights organizations to constructively engage the Nigerian security forces on human rights concerns. We also look to share best practices in this area with the United States.
24. I thank you, Mr. President, again for hosting us and for your constructive response to our shaped problems. I hope you make Nigeria the first port of call whenever you visit African continent.

Davido’s girlfriend, Chioma turned 23 yesterday, April 30, and her man, surprised her a lot for her birthday.
First, he threw a pre-birthday party for her at Club Quilox, wrote her a song, and to top it all, bought her a brand new Porsche with a customized plate number, ASSURANCE.

How do we know this?
Well, after one of the singer’s followers asked him to take a chill pill with his ‘new found love’, he wondered if 5 years was too fast…
He shared in response to the follower,
Yeah well, you heard this from the horses’ mouth… soooooo… #Shrugsagain
But then again.. Holl’up… If Davido has been dating Chioma for 5 years.. and she turned 23 yesterday, this simply means they started Dating when she was 18, and David, 20.
Chioma is still an undergraduate at Babcock University, she then probably met David when she was still in High school.. Just maybe!

Davido girlfriend, Chioma Avril Rowland, turned a year older today, and we finally get to see a very clear photo of the chef who has stolen the heart of singer, Davido.
Surprisingly a clear personal photo of the young lady is one of the scarcest things on the social media.
Although there are many impersonators of Chioma on the social media, the only account run by Chioma herself has only photos displaying her culinary skills and not her face.
Hence, it’s been hardwork trying to find recent photos of Chioma.
However, luck smiled on everyone today as the Babcock undergraduate had a birthday party thrown for her by her lover Davido.
As a result of this, more photos of Chef Chioma has surfaced online and this is the proper time to bring them here for your perusal.

She also revealed that she is done with being emotional and going back to thug life. She wrote;
I’ve bared myself to you. Sometimes I wonder who sent me. But still, I don’t regret my decision one bit. Despite people trying to put me down, there are people who don’t know me besides what they saw on TV, that truly love me. Children as young as my niece and women as old as my mother, telling me they are proud of me. I don’t even deserve it. But here I am, I’ve bared myself to you.
I shared with you my best and my worst, my strengths and my weaknesses, my accomplishments and my fears. I exposed my deepest feelings. I let my heart go where my brain didn’t want it to. I’ve expressed my emotions in ways misunderstood by most. I’ve bared myself to you.

Nigerian Gospel singer healed of Acne has taken to her Instagram page to share the testimony of how God healed her through her Pastor.
According to the singer identified as Sharon Ajao, her Pastor, Dr. Paul Enenche commanded her acne to dry up and one year later, the acne has never been back.
She wrote;
Who says miracles aren’t real? who says they are temporal? April is about to end and I haven’t forgotten that it was April 13th last year that my father Dr Paul Enenche cursed the terrible acne on my face, that defied all medical and natural remedies. He said “I command you to dry up!” and he told me sometime later after it had dried up (it dried up the next morning after that decree) “it will never come back”
Its a year now and I am still free. I had to compile a lot of photos to shame the devil that wanted to make me ugly. It wasn’t coincidental that we sang today in the choir a song titled “thank you Lord” a song by Dr Paul Enenche. I sang that song from every fibre of my being because a lot crossed my mind while we sang. A lot happened from that 13th of April encounter that hasn’t left me the same. I am grateful to my healer and also thankful for the blessing of a spiritual cover.
Whatever God does is permanent. Miracles are real and they are forever.
A Nigerian man has been arrested in Thailand for deceiving women into transferring him money as a part of a romance scam.
The suspect identified as Light Chinezurum Mmaramigro was arrested on Friday morning, April 27, at his apartment in Bangkok after he posed as an online suitor, engaging in romantic relationships with Thai women before asking them to transfer him money.
According to the deputy commissioner of tourist police, Maj. Gen. Surachet Hakpal, Mmaramigro created a fake Facebook profile under the name Stanley George, with several pictures of a Caucasian man.

Police seized a computer, mobile phone, ATM cards and bank books found in his room. They said Mmaramigo has previously entered the country 13 times.
The deputy commissioner encouraged the victims to come front and report to police.

First runner-up in the just concluded Big Brother Naija, Cynthia Nwadiora, aka Cee C is looking absolutely stunning in recently released makeup photos.
The controversial BBnaija 2018 housemate recently revealed that she was not a ‘bitter person’ and she would instead see herself as a strong person.

The co-founder of Social Prefect Tours, Chiamaka Obuekwe has declared she will not let society dictate how she reacts to her husband, Aniefiok Ntia allegedly cheating on her with many girls.
Recall yesterday we posted a report that popular Nigerian tour guide, Chiamaka, known better as ‘Social Prefect’ on social media has come online to reveal that she’s dumped her husband just 10 weeks after their wedding.
The tour guide who got married to the love of her life, Aniefiok Ntia, who also is her business partner, took to her social media handle to break the news of her marriage crash.
It seems the alleged ex-girlfriend of Big Brother Naija top housemate, Tobi, seems to be going wild with disclosures from the past about the reality show star, who she claimed she dated in Unilag.
According to a self acclaimed ex-girlfriend of the BBNaija 2nd runner up, who expressed her bitterness after she met a Twitter user named Tobi after church.
The Twitter user @alexlobaloba shared the story about the unnamed Tobi’s ex-girlfriend wrote;
“I met this stranger and she started telling me about how she hates Tobi #BBNaija so much, how the guy dated her back then in Unilag and also slept with her friend.
“I could feel the bitterness in her expression. After the conversation, she asked for my name I told her Chibuzor.
I guess he cheated on her blablabla… Who cares anyways? Real life o….after church today”.
Recall that the 23-year-old Tobi who graduated from Unilag, had been accused of breaking the hearts of many ladies in the school.
A Twitter user @ChiefWale_ narrated How Tobi also snatched his girlfriend from him 2 years ago. He wrote
“I haven’t seen any part of the BBN yet because in transit but I hope that Tobi guy gets out of the house ASAP. The stupid boy snatched one babe from me 2 years ago.”
As the viral talks of how Big Brother Naija finalist, Nina dumped her boyfriend, Collins to fall in love with Miracle continues online, 1dabanton, the Port Harcourt based act who was the voice behind the Big Brother Naija theme song has commented on the love triangle saying, ‘use and dump is not a crime’.
Delivering his two cents on the issue , 1dabanton wrote ;
no matter how painful it may be “use and dump” is not a crime. It has always happened and it will always happen. Nina has seen that she is going “way up” and needs to “Concentrate”. Cant blame her. But e go pain the guy sha. Moral of the story? Guys, select well’.
Right from the beginning of the Big Brother Naija show which lasted for 21 weeks, Nina had shown signs of emotional instability and vulnerability.
It would be recalled that the fair skin lovely kissed Miracle in the bathroom in less than 72 hours of their entry into the Big Brother house.
