This is the best revenge she could have ever given though – but here’s the ironical truth, she wouldn’t have opted out to lose weight, had her husband not ridicule her. His ridicule was her motivation and yeah well, as the saying goes, “good things fall apart to allow better things fall in place”.
She shared the tweet with these photos:
Last year, my ex-husband cheated on me & called me fat. We got divorced, I started your weight loss plan.. NOW HE’S JEALOUS?

The photo of this bride with her physically challenged groom has become viral on social media – as many salute the bravery of the bride and the uniqueness of the union.
Njelita Martins Okechukwu was serving his fatherland as a corp member when he died after a brief illness – he was buried on Friday and his friends took to Facebook to pay their respects.
An Assistant Commissioner of Police, identified as one Christopher Osakue, has reportedly committed suicide in Benin, the Edo State capital.
Late Osakue allegedly shot himself in the head with his service pistol in his residence located on Upper Sokponba on Wednesday after sending a woman and little boy living with him on an errand.
It was also learnt that he did not leave any suicide note behind.
The late police officer was said to be in charge of training and development at the state police command after his recent posting from Ondo State.
The ACP had earlier suffered a partial stroke a few years back and was gradually recovering from it before the incident occurred.
A source in the area disclosed that a gunshot from the residence of the deceased was heard at about 5pm on December 28. The source said,
“A neighbour said she heard a gunshot inside the ACP’s residence about 5pm that fateful Wednesday. “She added that after the sound of the gun, a frightening silence engulfed the entire building.”
Security operatives from the Ugbekun police division were said to have later stormed his residence. It was further learnt that the late Osakue had played host to some youths in his area last Christmas.
The Commissioner of Police, Haliru Gwandu, described the senior police officer’s death as a case of suicide.
Gwandu also explained that the pistol which he allegedly used to commit the act was signed for at the Ondo State Police command before he was posted to Edo.
A pilot has been suspended after turning up allegedly drunk for work before trying to fly a plane carrying more than 150 passengers.
CCTV footage of the moment the Indonesian pilot tried to pass through airport security acting intoxicated has emerged online. Press play to watch it below.
The footage of the pilot, who has been reportedly been identified as Capt. Tekad Purna, shows the man repeatedly dropping his things all over the floor and dramatically swaying as staff attempt to help him.
As the man arrives at the checkpoint wearing dark sunglasses, he drops his hat on the floor. He then dumps his bag on the conveyor belt before walking through the body scanner.
As he goes to collect his bag, swaying as he does so, it tips upside down and his belongings fall on the floor. As the security staff try and help by gathering together his things, the man also drops his sunglasses, which appear to break.
After staff hand him his glasses the man walks off holding them in his mouth.
Reports suggest the pilot made it all the way to the cockpit of the CityLink plane, a budget Indonesian airline and subsidiary of national airline Garuda Indonesia, before his condition was noticed.
The 154 passengers on the plane staged a walk out when the pilot made an incoherent announcement over the tannoy system, with nine of them cancelling their flights, according to the Transportation Ministry’s report.
The pilot was removed from the aircraft and replaced with another before the plane departed from Juanda International Airport in Surabaya, East Java, and flew to Soekarno Hatta International Airport in Jakarta.
The pilot has since been suspended and will undergo a full medical test, although Citilink stated that the pilot’s initial drug and alcohol tests came up negative, Mirror UK reports.
The United States President Elect, took to his Twitter on Saturday to wish the world a happy new year — and to mock his haters one final time before the calendar turns to 2017.
This is just so wrong and cruel! The fact that the both of you didn’t have it going doesn’t mean you’d wish sorrow for either of yourselves.
This Nigerian Twitter user, @AdWOLF_Twitler, took to his page to send in this tweet, as he rejoices that his ex had her second miscarriage… So wrong Mr… So wrong!
Some stars came into the Nigerian music scene and like meteorite, they were up in the sky, shining like light and having so many fans endeared to their heats.
But in 2016, it was as if their light started dwindling. When so many thought they might have been cooking something in the studio hoping such would be released before the end of the year, these stars lived on past glory while new acts sprang up and some of their contemporaries shone brighter. Saturday Beats brings some of the artistes whose light didn’t shine so brightly in 2016
Omawumi
Not just a few believed Omawunmi would excel going by her performance during the Idols reality show that shot her into limelight in 2007.
She has cemented her name as an achiever and force to be reckoned with in the Nigerian entertainment scene. Her sophomore album, ‘Lasso of Truth,’ which was released in 2015 was said to be a commercial success. Omawumi managed to break that jinx where just male artistes had held sway in the music scene for a long time.
But fast forward to 2016, not much was heard from the singer musically. Thank God for social media anyway, but for Instagram where the babe would always post one or two stuff, her presence would have dwindled considerably.
Yes, she managed to release a song with Grammy Award winner, Angelique Kidjo but did it have a very positive impact in her career in 2016? No!
Anyway, fans still love her and hope that not only would she change her hairstyle in 2017, she would also come up with better and bigger hits.
Nollywood actress, Halima Abubakar today exited the social media platform, Instagram.
Just as most celebrities were reminiscing about the year, 2016 and how they had fared, the actress did the same but dropped the bombshell at the end of the post it.
With her exit, Instagram is less one celebrity that gets people talking.
President Mohammadu Buhari has revealed that world powers engineered his removal as Nigeria’s Military Head of State.
Buhari previously served as the nation’s Head of State from 31 December 1983 to 27 August 1985, after taking power in a military coup d’état.
He made the disclosure while speaking when he was hosted to a Guards Brigade Regimental Dinner by the Nigerian Army on Friday night in Abuja.
The president recalled how his refusal to adhere to an advice from the IMF, World Bank to devalue the naira and increase prices of fuel and flour, as a military Head of State, led to his removal.
He said: “I refused and gave my reasons and the next thing I knew I was removed and detained for three and half years.”
Buhari therefore, stated that he was conversant with the problems of the military having spent over 25 years in the service.
“As a civilian president I will do my best and I’m telling you all these because you are part of the leadership of this great country and God willing we will remain great,” he added.
“Mr. Obi Madubogwo is critically ill, he is finally out of Coma after a toxic battle with Diabetic wound .

A Nigerian Journalist, Chris Joseph has written an open letter to the duo of Ubi Franklin and Lilian Esoro on his Instagram page, seeking the reconciliation of the estranged couple.
The couple have been in the news, the last few days over the deteriorating state of their one year old marriage. Recently, Lilian Esoro removed Ubi’s surname “Franklin” from her Instagram page and deleted all of Ubi Franklin’s photos, including pictures of them together.
Just as other social media users noticed, Well, Joseph did too and decided to write an open letter, letting them know how he truly feels about the situation.
Stating that he didn’t think the Marriage was over and that they should perhaps stay away from social media for a while.
Read the open letter below.
“I shared this a while back in one of my post; it’s worth repeating again.
______________________________
Honestly, I really don’t want to believe Ubi Franklin’s marriage to Lilian Esoro is over, seeing he still got his wedding ring on, and despite Lilian yanking off “Franklin” from her Instagram profile name and deleting all Ubi’s picture. Obviously, there’s a message she’s trying to pass across to the public. But honestly the public don’t care. WE DON’T CARE.
________________________________
Lillian, can you be matured for a minute and stop letting the public into your matrimonial issues?
Apparently, so much has been said online about Ubi Franklin & Lilian Esoro’s marriage hitting the rock; some blaming the wife while others pointing fingers at the husband. But please permit me to share my honest opinion on this matter. I just hope I don’t get bashed for airing my opinion just like i did on Ogbonna Kanu’s marriage proposal to Laura Ikeji.
_______________________________
Having been around women, here’s what i know about them. Women are die-hard lovers. Trust me. They love more than we men do. Apparently, I’ve come to understand that when a woman truly loves a man, he really doesn’t need to fight hard to win her over. I’m not saying the man has to be perfect, No! But If the woman loves the man that much, she would cover up so many things for him and also believe in him.
________________________________
Having said that, without little or no experience about marriage, i might not be the right person to address this issue, but to my own little understanding, when you truly love someone, the kind of perseverance you have with them will totally be different. You as an individual will always play reasonable in every part in their lives. Now, talking about marriage vows being exchanged at the alter of God, permit me to ask this simple question.
________________________________
Why should real Christians go to the altar of God in the first place when he/she knows there’s no such thing as genuine love in their heart but selfish desires? So, you marry a person you don’t love? A person you don’t respect?
Because If you respect your partner and the altar where the name of the Almighty God is called, you can’t come and make promises to mere humans and forget about it all; most especially now that a little child is a product of your matrimony.
________________________________
Like I’ll always say, marriage takes both people being willing to work through the issues. A marriage only works if you’re willing to work for the marriage and as well putting God first because God is Love.
So Lillian, please permit me to say this with all due respect.. “Your marriage wasn’t based on love my dear” and i honestly think you both don’t love yourself that much.
________________________________
Because if you do, prior to your wedding I’m very sure there are behaviours that are evident if you have taken enough time to get to know your husband. Certain attitudes and habits of his should not be a surprise, because when you made those commitment to your husband, you were committing to his whole being. It’s rare that people turn into a new person after marriage.
_______________________________
So if your husband has something that bugs you, more than likely it bugged you prior to jumping the broom, now is the time you must deal with it. If it’s really wearing you down, communicate how much it is affecting your relationship with him and see there is a compromise between you both. Accepting defeat or divorce is a no no at this point for you both, and as you know love heals all wounds.
_____________________________________
On a final note, i think it’s high time you both take a break from posting your family issues on social media and take the time to pray for divine direction from God, that’s what true Christians should do. Allow the will of God be done. It’s my prayer that God heals you both fast. Can’t wait to see you both hold hands together again at public events. Stay Blessed!

Nollywood actress Mercy Johnson and husband threw their daughter Princess Purity Okojie a party to celebrate her 4th birthday yesterday at their hometown Uromi in Edo state.
The estrange husband of actress Lilian Esoro, Ubi Franklin sure loves writing open letters. Read his latest one addressed to his son.
Son, witnessing your birth was not just an experience; it was a miracle (the beauty of a child being born is nothing but pure joy).
You came and melted my heart, taught me to love, taught me to forgive and see things differently. My past experiences made me one who was easily provoked but God always uses something, or someone to change people, to break them, and for me; my SON and some self discipline did.
You have also thought me to admit my mistakes and apologize for them, even when I think I’m not wrong but may have upset someone, apologize! It takes NOTHING from you but gives you EVERYTHING!!! Son, your magical smile is what I love – Dad Loves you dearly – and will do all to make you happy for my days are better because of you. I have a whole new perspective to life and have experienced another side of life all because of you. (Thank God).
Life doesn’t always serve us happy cards but I truly wish I could change every bad situation for your sake and the peace of the family.
This is a letter to you my Son.
This December will be our first Christmas together and your very first Christmas here on Earth…. (Praise God).
Tomorrow is a New Year too.You’re the hero of this story and a new life with you is all because of your Mum (super Mum)….9months carrying and protecting you has led our paths to meet. Growing so fast and big now (you even make efforts to grab my phone and take selfies lol) WOW!!! ??????❤
To your Mum; “You are strong, doing an excellent job, and I continue to admire you deeply.”
Oh Jayden, I am so excited to see the plan that God has for your life. I already feel the magic that you will be a great son. You woke up a love in me that I didn’t realize existed. I am Proud to be your father….I have loved you since i found out about you, I loved you more when I met you on your birthday, i have loved you more each day during this past 5 months, and i will love you more for the next four months, four years, four decades, and every day after that. I will always, always love you. My heart just aches and trembles with all my love for you.
Forever and always… Your Daddy❤️??
