A Nigerian man simply identified as Kenny, has narrated how he stumbled on his wife in the process of committing suicide by hanging.
The man said his wife attempted suicide after he questioned how she squandered 75 per cent of their house rent that he gave to her for safe keeping pending when he can complete the rent.
According to him, she claimed the money was spent on the family’s feeding even though he ensured that the house never lacked foodstuffs.
He wrote:
“My house rent expired last month, so I told my landlord to give me till the end of December to put myself in order because I was thinking of travelling with my family.
“Before then, I gave my wife 75% of the house rent to keep pending when I will complete it. I just received a call from my office today that salaries are being paid today, besides I am on night duty so it will be till evening before I will receive mine.I asked my wife to get the money ready that I am going to compete it today to enable me pay the house rent tomorrow against the deadline which is on 24th of this month, only for her to tell me that she has spent the money on our feeding.
“I got angry and yelled at her and called her close friend to ask her where she kept the money. There’s no day I don’t provide for the family, so how come she spent the money on the family? .
“So after all said and done. I got angry and went out with my 1 year old daughter to cool by temper with a bottle of Hero. Then entering the house I saw her hanged herself. So I rushed and echoed for help”.
The debate on tithe continues nationwide, all thanks to controversial OAP, Daddy freeze. Now, Veteran Nollywood Actor, Zack Orji has shared his opinion on why tithing should not be condemned.
Speaking with Broadway TV, the actor said people speaking against tithing are ignorant, adding that it is a terrible thing to condemn pastors and Bible.

Daddy Freeze wasted no time in replying the Veteran Nollywood Actor. He wrote; “Pity will not solve this dilemma sir, all we need is scriptural evidence of where Jesus our High priest under the order of Melchizedek collected tithe, or where our first pastors, the disciples and apostles collected tithe or where believers who weren’t Jewish paid tithe, simple!”

Club Uno boss and socialite – Pretty mike has been pictured feeding his snake.

Pretty Mike whose real name is Eze Nwalie Nwogu, saw his popularity grow among locals after he was seen placing some girls on a dog leash and took them to different events in Lagos, he later justified his actions when he said ;
I have done it twice and let us not make it look as if it is something I have been doing all the time. The two times I have done it were weddings where I was part of the groomsmen which means that I have a personal relationship with the bride and groom.
The overall reason I chose to do this was because of the mission statement behind it. It is just unfortunate how people are so quick to jump into conclusion without actually finding out what is going on. All they think is that it is an abuse, or a form of slavery or perverted thoughts.
“For me, there is a mission statement. I would give you some examples to explain the mission statement behind my action. I would not call any names but I am sure we all know about an Emir that was given a 15-year-old as a wife. To me, that is putting women on a leash.
We talk about traditional rulers that marry underage women, that is putting women on the leash. We talk about boyfriends and husbands that beat their spouses and abuse them physically, emotionally and spiritually, that is putting women on a leash. I needed to get the world’s attention first to be able to pass across my mission statement.
It is all about women advocacy at the end of the day. It is all about empowering the women. These women have no voice. I refer to the girls I use as super heroes and we had to do something drastic in order to be heard and get the world’s attention. Now they are talking about it.

“Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can, To all the people you can, As long as ever you can.”
An ex-corp member and beauty queen, Courage Ugboaja Ifeoma, is living up to John Wesley’s quote as she continues to bring joy and acts of kindness at every given chance she’s got.
Some months back, she was lauded for her pet project: KICK AGAINST OVARIAN AND CERVICAL CANCER which created Cancer Awareness lecture at the University of Uyo Mini Stadium with lots of Female Doctors.
Courage, during her service year, put smiles on the face of many as before she was redeployed from Sokoto to Rivers on February 14th, she took it upon herself to lend a helping hand to the less privileged in the Northern part of the state by giving them handouts and all.
After she was redeployed to Rivers, at her place of Primary Assignment, Courage was moved after she discovered that some students of the school she taught couldn’t afford their WASSCE fees and according to her, with the little allowance she got from her NYSC, was able to sponsor their fees.
Her good works has been giving her recognition from different organizations as they laud her philanthropy – Courage believes Nigeria will be a better place if we could all give a little thought to the less privileged in the society.
Courage said:
Thanking God for a successful service year, and my own little way of giving back to the society during my service year ,at my PPA which is a Secondary school in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. I got to find out from the principal that some SS3 students that are due to write their WAEC could not register because of funds. And also, I noticed that some of my students that I taught in JSS 3 didn’t return to school at the beginning of the new session. On enquiry I got to find out that it was due to the inability of their parents to pay their JSS3 exam fees, thus their results were withheld by WAEC. And these were amongst the brilliant kids in the school. Moved with compassion, I decided to pay the fees of the SS3 and the JS3 student. The ones that my little NYSC alawee savings could carry. And thanks be to God the kids are back in school. I also did something similar during my camping experience in Sokoto State. On the 14th of Feb which was Valentine’s day, I cooked and took food to a destitute camp close by and spent some quality time with them just show them love and to give them that sense of belonging and hope for the future. If we could all give a little more thought to the less privileged in our society. I believe Nigeria will be a better place to live in.

News reaching us this hour is quite a tragic one of how a young lady was deprived of seeing the new year after the hospital she was taken to for treatment, demanded they be paid before they treated her.

Her friends have since paid tribute to her on Facebook.
A friend of hers, Fred claimed the Teaching Hospital requested for her School fees receipt before treatment.
A 19-year-old has narrated to operatives of Lagos State Police Command how her ‘Madam’ assaults her daily, while the husband sodomises her at night.
The Lagos-based couple is currently being investigated by the Police over physical and sexual abuse of the maid at their Aunty Toyin Street, Kodeibo Estate, Isheri-Oshun, Lagos.
The victim, Blessing Joseph, who has been working with the couple for six months, hails from Imo State. Vanguard gathered that throughout her stay with the couple, Blessing was subjected to different forms of physical abuse from her madam, Isioma, and sexual abuse from the madam’s husband, Chigozie Ezeafor.
It was gathered that whenever Isioma was away or asleep in the night, her husband sneaked into the victim’s room and raped her through her anus.
Victim’s story
Narrating her ordeal, the victim said she has suffered terribly in the hands of the couple, who delight in dehumanising her regularly.
She further revealed to the Police that her “Madam,” Isioma Ezeafor, beats her up at the slightest provocation, while her husband, Chigozie Ezeafor, sneaks up to her whenever his wife is away and has made several painful attempts to penetrate her anus.
However, trouble started when, on December 17, Isioma Ezeofor’s temper got the better part of her and she emptied a kettle of hot water on the maid, scalding her skin. Confirming the report, Superintendent Chike Oti, Police Public Relations Officer, Lagos State Command, said the last attempt by Mr. Ezeofor to rape the victim brought the issue to light.
The couple is being interrogated at the Gender Section of Lagos State Police Command and will be charge to court at the end of the investigation. Operatives from the Gender Unit of the Police Command has have taken the victim for proper medical care.
Former child star actor, Somadina Adinma, who graduated from Theatre Arts Department in the Nnamdi Azikwe University, UNIZIK is now in his in service year as he serves in the Northern part of the country.
The actor shared photos of himself from Nasarawa NYSC orientation camp few weeks ago.
Somadina, as a child actor, starred in movies like Sadist, I’m alive and others and apparently took to school to groom himself in becoming a good thespian.
We definitely will be on the lookout for the actor once he’s done with his service year…
Below is also a throwback photo of Somadina and Regina Daniels;
A Nigerian Muslim guy, Usman Solo has said that it’s part of the Islamic beliefs that one should marry a child – Usman made this known while in reaction to Nigerian politician, Femi Fani-Kayode’s tweets, where he criticized the Sultan of Sokoto for not championing the fight against Child Marriage and paedophilia in the North.
FFK had criticized the Sultan of Sokoto for not channeling his fight for the Hijab story that has been on for a while now, towards that of curbing Child marriage in the north.
Usman, in reaction to this, said bluntly “Child marriage is our religious belief” and it has got everyone wondering where it’s said in the Quran that it’s okay to be a pedophile.
Just so you know btw, the Quran states specifically in the 6th verse of its 4th Chapter,
“And test the orphans [in your charge] until they reach a marriageable age; then, if you find them to be mature of mind/sound in judgment, hand over to them their possessions…” (Quran, 4:6)
It should be noted that in this context, Marriageable age is equated to sound judgment; an age in which a person can responsibly handle their possessions.
Though there’s the misconception about this verse,
And those who no longer expect menstruation among your women – if you doubt, then their (waiting) period is three months (relating to divorce), and [also for] those who did not menstruate. And for those who are pregnant, their term is until they give birth. (Quran, 65:4)
BUT… The verse starts off by discussing the waiting period for women who have ceased to menstruate, in the case of a divorce. Therefore, it has laid the context of adult women who are of menstruating age. Obviously then, “those who did not menstruate” is from the context of adult women who are supposed to menstruate, but did not do so – This medical condition is called Amenorrhea where a woman does not have menstrual periods.
So it’s either Mr Usman Solo is ignorant of his proclaimed beliefs or he’s just some perverted pedophile who’s looking for a reason to justify his despicable notions.

Rodrigo Alves who is known worldwide as the Human Ken Doll, and recently revealed that his plans to remove his ribs had been scuppered as doctors feared his lungs would collapse, has once again, booked himself in for another procedure as he showed-off the results of a chemical peel.
Human Ken Dol – Before & After
The 34-year-old TV personality who was captured on camera as he stepped out in Marbella on Tuesday, was involved in a chemical peel involves applying an acid-containing lotion to the face, letting it soak through and then peeling off the old skin to reveal fresh new skin in its place.
While speaking exclusively to MailOnline, Rodrigo said: ‘It was fairly painful, and my face looks red now. It feels like burning! Here in Marbella is very sunny and I can’t go out for the next few days unless I have a lot of sun protection!
‘In 2018, I’m turning 35 and my quest has never been to look perfect but to look ageless. Due to the lights from the TV studios and the make-up, my skin has been looking rough, but this treatment will make my skin look finer and younger.’
The procedure involves donning a face cream that burns the skin as he explained: ‘I would never let myself go and no one will ever see any wrinkle on my face’
He added: ‘I would never let myself go and no one will ever see any wrinkle on my face. Some men think that only going to the gym and looking muscular is enough. I believe that men should also look after their faces with night cream and make-up just like I do. Taking pride in your appearance is loving yourself.’
Earlier this month Rodrigo revealed plans to have six ribs removed in what would be his landmark 60th cosmetic procedure. But he was left left frustrated after surgeons refused to perform the full procedure over fears it would compromise his lungs.
Instead, a top Hollywood surgeon will remove four floating ribs in a £28k procedure slated to take place next month to give the distinguished jet-setter, who has spent an estimated £400,000 on plastic surgeries, an ‘elegant and classic figure.’
The fashion-forward star said he was motivated to go under the knife once more so he would feel more confident in his couture blazers, and because he felt his hunky physique had become ‘shapeless and big’.
Despite his extensive catalogue of procedures, the socialite admitted to nerves ahead of the operation, which he says has been favoured by many celebs, but said he was looking forward to not ‘bursting out of his slim-fit blazers.’
He said: ‘It will be my surgery number 60 between countless procedures but I’m nervous yes because this is not a plastic surgery where skin or fat will be removed, we are talking about my floating ribs,
Two Nigerian college students Mustafa Azmir and Jude Nnamdi Achonye were on Wednesday December 20, handed the death sentence by a High Court in Shah Alam for trafficking 3.5 kilogrammes of methamphetamine.
Shah Alam High Court judge Datuk Abdul Halim Aman made the ruling after finding that the prosecution had proven a prima facie case against the accused, Azmir, 28, and Achonye, 30.
According to the criminal charge brought against them, Azmir and Achonye were accused of trafficking the drugs at an apartment in Petaling Jaya at 3.30pm on Sept 2, 2014 which is an offense under Section 39B (1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952.
The facts of the case stated that the accused, who studied at a private college in Kuala Lumpur, were arrested by police when they accepted several boxes containing the drug which was delivered by a courier company at the apartment.
Abdul Halim, in his ruling, said the court had studied testimonies from 13 prosecution witnesses and two defence witnesses, alongside 73 exhibits tendered during the trial.
“The defence had failed to raise reasonable doubt at the end of this case and presented no testimony that thoroughly refutes the prosecution,” he said.
“Besides that, there were also discrepancies in testimonies of the accused and their defence only amounted to denial without concrete evidence,” he said.
Deputy public prosecutor Mohd Rehan Mohd Aris appeared for the prosecution, while the accused were represented by lawyer Leonard Anselm Gomes.

The beautiful dark skinned model took to her instagram page to write
“I think this is pure ignorance. My skin is not a disease, I have been blessed with melanin. To be without knowledge is to be without light. As human we all go through struggles. I aspire to be an affluence to everyone who goes through struggles to accept themselves. Point blank I am dark skin not sick”.
She revealed an Uber driver offered her $10,000 to bleach her skin that it is something to be ashamed of. She replied the driver with laughter.
“We have come a long way and we still have a long way to go. My hope is that this post should remind you why you should be proud of your melanin.
Why you should be proud of your heritage regardless of how dark or light your skin is.
Stop comparing your skin to anyone. Change can only happen once you can truthfully look into the mirror and love that deep chocolate, cinnamon, mocha, or caramel complexion”.
Innoson Motors boss, Innocent Ifediaso Chukwuma has rejected EFCC release, and has refused to leave custody. According to a tweet from his company’s account, they say he wants to know the reason for his arrest.
Breaking News Innoson has refused his release because he is demanding to know the reason for his arrest.
Meanwhile, Find below Facts about the Whole GTBank and Innoson Saga;
Innoson, Efcc and the Gtb Loan; Facts behind the saga
Recently, the Innoson/GTBank story has gained so much media prominence, especially following the arrest of the Innonson chairman a few days ago by EFCC. Though the case is pending in court, Innoson has taken the battle to social media. There have been numerous sponsored social media campaigns against the Bank such as #BewareOfGTBank and #WhatIsWrongWithGTBank. The company has also gone Television, with its owner, Dr Innocent Chukwuma granting an interview to TVC, where he claimed he had obtained a judgement of N8bn against the bank. He added that the bank pleaded with him over their inability to pay, and that he graciously offered to accept shares of the bank as payment.
GTBank on their part has chosen to remain silent on the matter, perhaps trusting in the integrity of the legal system as against playing to the gallery. Many attempts by us to get the bank’s representatives to comment on the story has proven abortive. A staff of the bank who spoke under anonymity, stated “Irrespective of the issues we are facing with the company, Innoson remains a customer of the bank and we owe him a duty of confidentiality and to conduct ourselves in a responsible manner towards him”. This statement didn’t stop us from conducting our own investigations on the matter, and below are our findings, put in bullet points for your optimum understanding.
The obvious:
Innoson is, and still remains, a customer of GTBank.
What we discovered:
1. GTBank (in 2009) granted Innoson several credit facilities (i.e loans) totalling N2,400,000,000,00 (two billion, four hundred million Naira only), to part finance working capital requirements, import new motorcycles and motorcycle spare parts, agricultural spare parts and plastic manufacturing equipment (“Imported Goods”).
2. Under the loan terms agreed by Dr. Innocent Chukwuma on behalf of Innoson, proprietary interest in the Imported Goods was consigned exclusively in favour of the Bank. This means that the Bank was the exclusive owner of the Imported Goods. Accordingly, the original shipping documents (i.e. the Bills of Lading) were in the custody of the Bank, and have remained in the custody of the Bank at all times.
3. Because GTBank was the exclusive owner of the imported goods, ownership of the goods could only be transferred to Innoson (or any other third party) by the Bank. The condition in the agreement between the Bank and Innoson, for the release of the Imported Goods by the Bank to Innoson, was the payment of 25% of the value of each Letter of Credit transaction by Innoson.
What we learnt:
1. Innocent Chukwuma approached the Bank, on behalf of Innoson, requesting the release of the shipping documents without payment of the agreed+ 25% equity. The Bank declined his request as a result of Innoson’s failure to meet the agreed conditions.
2. It came to the Bank’s knowledge sometime in June, 2011 that the Imported Goods for which the Bank declined to release shipping documents to Innoson in view of its failure to meet the agreed conditions, had been fraudulently procured by Innoson.
3. The Bank discovered that Innoson, under the control of Dr. Innocent Chukwuma had forged the Bank’s endorsement on the bills of lading to the Shipping Line and fraudulently cleared the Imported Goods which were in the name of the Bank. The Imported Goods, being property of the Bank should not have been cleared from the Port without the original shipping documents being endorsed by the Bank in favour of Innoson, or any third party.
4. The signatures of 4 (four) staff of the Bank, to wit, Taofeek Olalere, Dan Attah, Bunmi Adeyemi and Amazu Amalachukwu, as well as the Bank’s stamp were forged on all the shipping documents used by Innoson to fraudulently clear goods at the port. The Bank did not at any time endorse or transfer the shipping documents to Innoson, as the originals of each of the relevant Bill of Lading remain in the Bank’s custody to this very day.
5. When the Bank reported the matter to the Nigeria Police, Dr. Innocent Chukwuma claimed the Bank released the shipping documents to him. Consequently, the Police commenced investigation into the Bank’s complaint, including a forensic examination of the disputed signatures, and established that the signatures of the Bank’s staff were forged, and the Imported Goods were fraudulently cleared from the Nigerian Ports Authority by Dr. Innocent Chukwuma and his accomplices.
What we heard from the Police:
1. Police investigations confirmed that Innoson and Dr. Innocent Chukwuma deliberately set out to defraud, steal from the Bank and convert the Imported Goods belonging to the Bank by deceptive means and through forgery and misrepresentation. The unlawful takeover of the Imported Goods, which served as the Bank’s collateral, left an indebtedness in excess of the sum of N1,654,481,895.04 (one billion, six hundred and fifty four million, four hundred and eighty one thousand, eight hundred and ninety five Naira, four Kobo) as at September 26, 2012.
2. Chief Innocent Chukwuma was arrested and interrogated by operatives of the EFCC, following which he agreed to make monthly payments into Innoson’s account until the full liquidation of Innoson’s indebtedness to the Bank. However, Innoson defaulted in making the agreed payments. Investigations by the Nigeria Police following a petition by the Bank in September 2013 also found Innoson and Chief Innocent Chukwuma culpable of the criminal allegations levied against them by the Bank, and Chief Innocent Chukwuma was accordingly charged to court by the Police.
3. The Police filed Charge No. FHC/L/565C/2015-Inspector General Of Police And Innoson Nigeria Limited; Innocent Chukwuma;Charles Chukwuma;Maximian Chukwura; Mitsui Osk Lines; Annajekwu Sunny for fraudulent clearance of goods, forgery, conversion, stealing and conspiracy presently pending before Faji J, at the Federal High Court, Ikoyi and adjourned to November 21, 2017 for arraignment/or hearing of motion for issuance of Bench Warrant.
What Innoson did:
1. Innoson approached the Bank for a reconciliation of his account and pleaded for a debt forgiveness. A reconciliation was carried out on the account – which had a debit balance of N1,654,481,895.04 as at December 31, 2011. In the spirit of amicable resolution and EFCC intervention, the Bank said it agreed to forego the sum of N559,374,072.09 which represented default charges that has accrued on the account and debited in line with the loan agreement between the customer and the Bank.
2. Based on this, the Bank decided to accept from the customer, the sum of N1,095,107,822.95 as full and final payment of the customer’s indebtedness to the Bank, provided that same shall be fully paid not later than (30) days from the date of the letter written to him
3. Surprisingly, Innoson commenced suit no:FHC/AWK/CS/2012 against the Bank at the Federal High Court, Awka stating the bank had debited its account with excess charges totalling N559,374,072.09 and obtained judgement in excess of N4.7Billion against the Bank. Again choosing to dishonour an agreement that was amicable reached between him and the Bank for a full and final settlement of N1,095,107,822.95 wherein the Bank graciously forgave him the sum of N559,374,072.09 which accrued on his account during the period which he abandoned his account.
4. To further stall the criminal proceedings against him, Chief Innocent Chukwuma and his company instituted suits at the Federal High Court, Abuja, as well as the Federal High Court, Awka in January 2014 against The Inspector General of Police, The Nigeria Police Force and Investigating Officer(s), seeking declaratory and injunctive reliefs, including orders restraining the Police from commencing criminal proceedings against Innoson and Chief Innocent Chukwuma.
Furthermore, in a bid to stall the Bank’s recovery steps, and distract the Bank from focusing on the criminal action, as well as civil actions filed for recovery of the debt, Chief Innocent Chukwuma and his company Innoson, have continued to institute various spurious suits before various courts, claiming frivolous and outrageous sums against the Bank.
What GTBank is not saying:
1. In responding to Innoson’s motion for a stay of criminal proceedings at the Court of Appeal, the Honourable Justice J.S Ikyegh on September 17,2017 dismissed the motion for being unmeritorious and ordered that proceeding in the criminal case against Innson should proceed.
2. On October 12, 2017, the Police through its Charge No. FHC/L/565C/2015- filed an application for the issuance of bench warrant against Innocent Chukwuma; Charles Chukwuma and Annajekwu Sunny for fraudulent clearance of goods, forgery, conversion, stealing and conspiracy presently pending before Faji J, at the Federal High Court, Ikoyi and adjourned to Decemeber 8, 2017 for arraignment/or hearing of motion.
What we think:
Innoson should stop trying to play the underdog and simply resolve his issues through legal means or arbitration. On Innoson playing the Igbo tribe card, this is not in good taste in this moment in history. We are aware of GTBank’s strong position on unpaid debts. We know GTBank has gone often several debtors of the bank irrespective of who they are or where they come from. So why is Innoson’s matter now tribal? Please, this makes no sense. Innoson and GTBank, resolve your issues privately and let us all hear word.
