A Nigerian man has caused yet another commotion on Facebook after posting a photo of a marriage introduction allegedly taking place in Mbaise, Imo State.
The photo which shows the shocking demand made by the woman’s family has been said to be the reason why many men are running away from getting married.
The huge money some men pay just to get married is so unbelievable an alarming.
So you think you can hold a grudge? A Phoenixville man admitted in court that he vandalized the tombstone of a man against whom he held a grudge for more than 50 YEARS.
Paul E. Donovan Jr., 69, of the 1200 block of South Evergreen Drive, pleaded guilty Tuesday in Montgomery County Court to a misdemeanor charge of institutional vandalism of a cemetery in front of President Judge William T. Furber, according to court documents.
Donovan was sentenced to two years of probation and ordered to pay $1,500 in restitution to the family of the deceased. He was also ordered to stay away from the tombstone in the cemetery.
According to the criminal complaint, Donovan told police that he and the deceased were childhood friends, and that 56 years ago, the deceased stole $300 from a box in his bedroom.
When police questioned Donovan, he admitted to defacing the tombstone.
The investigation began when a woman reported on March 22, 2014, that her father’s tombstone in Saint Matthews Cemetery in Whitemarsh Township had the name “John” written over it in orange spray paint, according to the criminal complaint. The same tombstone was vandalized again with the same name in the same color spray paint April 29, 2014, the woman reported to Whitemarsh police.
In December, someone damaged the tombstone by pouring a “black tar-like” substance over it, the complaint said. Police set up hidden cameras to catch any future acts of vandalism. In May, the cameras caught the image of a man stealing lights that had been set up to deter vandalism, the complaint said.
After the tombstone was vandalized again in November, this time with black spray paint covering the last name of the deceased, police were able to identify the suspect as Donovan.
Donovan told police he would “pay back any restitution minus the $300 he was owed over 56 years ago,” Detective G. Lattanze wrote in the complaint.

An 18yrs old housemaid who stole her boss’ N1.5m within just 2-and-half hours of being employed has been arrested alongside her accomplices – the 30-year-old man who married her mother, Gabriel Igbang and her mum, Joy Gabriel.
The maid, Happiness Gabriel, was said to have stolen the cash at her employer’s residence in Lagos, then proceeded to a bush in Ogun to bury her loot, before escaping to Benin, the Edo State capital.
It was gathered that Happiness was engaged by Mrs Bolanle Ibukunoluwa sometimes in May 2016, through one Alhaja popularly known as Iya Dolapo, as a housemaid and the monthly salary agreed upon was N7,000 to be paid in bulk at the end of the year.
On June 26, 2016, at about 5:30 pm, the maid (Happiness) moved into her employer’s house, on that fateful day, the woman (Mrs Bolanle) went out and came back at about 8:00pm only to discover that her new house-help is nowhere to be found.
She forced the gate opened and then discovered that her Lenovo phone valued at N20, 000 and the N1.5m she kept in her room was nowhere to be found. She rushed immediately to her neighbour’s place to ask about the whereabouts of her housemaid and they told her she left before 8:00 p.m. She later went to report the incident at Central Police Station.
Happiness was later apprehended in Benin, where she ran to, after giving her step father the money.
At first, her stepfather and her mother denied receiving any money from her, after much interrogation they confessed and Happiness took the police to the bush in Ogun where the sum of N300,000 was recovered and another N252, 500 was also recovered at another location in the bush at Ogun State.
Delivering her judgement, Magistrate Omoyele found the first defendant guilty of conspiracy and stealing and consequently sentenced her to 2-and-half years imprisonment without an option of fine.
Her step father was found guilty of the offence of receiving stolen property and was jailed one year without an option of fine.
A woman who has spent at least $20,000 by dedicating $10,908 every six months to look like a human Barbie has made a shocking transformation as she now looks totally different.
Meet Carly Mersola, 25, from Marina del Rey, California, who has splashed money on tanning, lip injections, hair extensions and bleaching her hair.
According to Dailymail, Carly has been spending big to transform her looks for the past eight months – and has more plans for her makeover. The bartender is now planning to increase her her 36F breasts to a 36G.
‘I want to look as plastic as possible,’ the bartender said. ‘It’s all about being a living doll, expressing yourself and being happy.
‘I love the attention, people looking at me thinking I look good.’
Carly says happiness to her means ‘going blonde, having big boobs and looking plastic’.
She said: ‘When I had brown hair I would dress in black all the time, wouldn’t wear make-up and didn’t like the way I looked.’
But, the boyfriend is not happy even though he likes her to be more natural. But, he can’t stop her from doing what makes her happy.
Carly’s boyfriend Chris Delisa, 45, a drummer said: ‘Chris actually preferred me looking less plastic but he knew that changing my appearance made me happier,’ she explained. ‘I would look at girls on Instagram and online who look like Barbies and think, ‘that’s my goal’.
‘So I went for the drastic change of dying my hair – and felt so much better about myself.’
Since then, Carly has had 26 inch hair extensions done every six months, costing $8,500 (£6,400), and injections into her lips to improve her pout, costing costs $2,500 (£1,900) every six months.
‘Having big lips makes me feel so much more confident and happy. I had thin lips before and was so unhappy about it,’ she said.
She has also started working on trimming her 32inch waist to 28 inches by hitting the gym five days a week. She funds her expensive surgery through bar work and make-up artist work.
She has now made major headlines and attracted a lot of attention to herself which she loves so much.
These are pictures showing the cultural differences among some of the nations taking part in the Rio Olympics.
The Egyptian women’s beach volleyball team took to the sandy arena adorned some really unconventional dressing.
They were seen wearing long sleeves, leggings and Hijab which was a deep contrast to the outfit worn by the German team who stuck to the sport’s traditional two-piece outfit for the clash on Sunday night.
Although the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) used to have standards regulating the size of uniforms, those were loosened heading into the London 2012 Olympics to allow full sleeves and leggings.
There are now 169 different countries involved in the Continental Cup qualifying process for the 2016 Olympic, compared to 143 for London after rules on clothing were relaxed and FIVB say the regulations were loosened to open up the sport culturally.
Boko Haram’s shadowy leader Abubakar Shekau has appeared in a new video vowing to fight on, shrugging off an apparent split in the hardline jihadist group blamed for thousands of deaths since 2009.
“I… Abubakar Ash-Shakawy (Shekau), the leader of Jama’atu Ahlissunnah Lidda’awati Wal Jihad, made it a duty for myself (to fight) Nigeria and the whole world,” Shekau said in the video released on Sunday, using the group’s name since it declared allegiance to the so-called Islamic State.
Last week, Shekau said in an audio message he was still head of the group despite his purported replacement by Sheikh Abu Musab al-Barnawi, a former Boko Haram spokesman.
“We have no desire to fight our Muslim brethren,” Shekau, who last appeared in March, said in the 24-minute video.
Shekau ridiculed suggestions that he was dead, and looked more composed and energetic than in previous appearances.
“I’m alive by the permission of Allah,” he said in his speech in Arabic and Hausa, adding that he would only die when his time came.
In the video he is wearing camouflage gear and holding a machine gun, standing between two Islamist fighters in balaclavas armed with rocket-propelled grenade launchers.
He taunted President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration and condemned Western countries including the United States, France, Germany and “the tyrants of the United Nonsense (UN)”.
At the end of his speech – apparently filmed in Boko Haram’s stronghold in the Sambisa forest of northeastern Nigeria – he fired off rounds of ammunition into the air.

Nollywood actress, Lola Alao, since embracing her new faith in, has been on a low key and spending more time with her family as she recently celebrated her wedding anniversary.
The actress recently stepped out for the wedding of a family member and sharing the excitement, she decided to show off her pretty daughter who looks so much like her.
Reaping the dividend of motherhood, the actress is anxiously waiting for the right time she will also be a grandmother as she watches her daughter grow and making her proud.
Lola has now been spending much of her time trying to understand the teachings and recitation of her new faith while she also shows off her hubby as they attend major events together.
A 43 year old fake nurse, Uju Okonkwo, now in police net in Asaba, Delta State, has reportedly sold a three month old baby to a Lagos-based businessman for N500,000.
Also a fake lawyer, Ezurum Joseph, who claimed to have graduated from the Nnamdi Azikwe University (NAU ), Anambra State, in 2011 with registration number 39017, was arrested along with Okonkwo.
Over the years, Joseph has provided the hideouts where Okonkwo was using to harbour her victims and has stood as the woman’s solicitor.
The said fake lawyer confessed that he dropped out of school after he could not pass four courses, which prevented him from attending Law School. However, Joseph has since been defrauding unsuspecting members of the public.
Three female human trafficking victims, Chinyere Ude (19 ), Happiness Igwe (20 ) and Esther Frank (17 ), who were respectively in their advanced stages of pregnancy, were rescued from the traffickers’ den.
The girls disclosed that they were brought to the hideout by Okonkwo, a widow, who claimed to have worked at Chinonso Hospital, Nkpor in Anambra State, for the purpose of selling their babies after delivery.
Men of the Special Anti- Kidnapping Squad (SAKS) raided the hideout on Okpanam Road in Oshimili North Local Government Area of the state, after a tipoff that the three girls had been kept there and would soon deliver while their babies would be sold to the highest bidders.
The state Commissioner of Police, Zanna Ibrahim, who paraded the suspects with the pregnant girls in Asaba, said Okonkwo was nabbed after an intensive surveillance by his men. Gnashing her teeth on the parade ground, Okonkwo, who said she had no registered name for her organisation and had been in the game with the lawyer for over one year, confessed that she sold a baby for N500,000 to a Lagos – based businessman.
Ibrahim described the suspects as human traffickers. He said: “The matter before us is a complete case of human trafficking and other related offences. Only God knows how many innocent children they have sold into slavery, to unknown persons for money rituals.
“The suspects have started helping us in our investigations. ” The commissioner said the war against crimes must be won “to stop careless wastage of lives and property ”. Appealing to parents and guardians to be alive to their responsibilities in providing proper guidance to their children and wards, Ibrahim said the suspects would soon be arraigned.
Ex-president of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor as seen in the photo above, prostrated before popular American Televangelist Morris Cerullo when he and his wife Theresa visited Nigeria recently.
They had been invited by pastor Oritsejafor and were welcomed at the airport by him, his wife Helen and other members of his church. Morris Cerullo also ministered at the Word of Life Bible church on Sunday in Warri, Delta state.
A Twitter user who was a witness at the scene, shared moments ago that a train crushed a police van early this morning and the emergency service are yet to arrive.
According to the user, he says there were casualties…
Dutch cyclist Annemiek van Vleuten had pulled solidly ahead with 11 miles remaining in the women’s road race at the Rio Olympics. She was riding into a bend with nobody between her and a gold medal when, suddenly and unexplainably she crashed in a brutal way that left her with broken bones, and even more painful, broken dreams.
The fall was hard to watch, and it marred the end of the race, won by teammate, Anna van der Breggen.
She was rushed to hospital and the Dutch Cycling Federation confirmed she was ‘conscious and ok… American cyclist Mara Abbott sailed past Vleuten’s motionless body, but lost steam in the final sprint to come in fourth.
Looks like some ladies are having zero chills with their guys these days though, they are not gonna take any form of nonsense from them.
So it’s being reported newly that a lady SLAPPED her husband right in public at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital car park, because she saw girl’s nude photo on his phone.
An eyewitness told the story via Twitter, read below:
Eucharia Anunobi has said she can still act the role of a prostitute and infact any other role despite being born again because she has not left her talent. Eucharia said this to The Sun in a short interview.
She said, “While you are seeing me as a movie legend, all the years you have been seeing ‘act all the actable’. I am still acting because I have not left my talent.
This is my own definition of being born again. Born again means you have realised and discovered that you were living a life of sin, but now, you want to live a life that would please God.
“As an evangelist, I will still accept scripts like Ashawo (Prostitute). If they give me the one of Ashawo, I will do. But then, I’m not going to smoke, because I don’t smoke in real life, and I’m not going to drink. I can simulate, for instance, like in drinking, but then, I might not wear clothes that will reveal parts of my body.
“I can still act the role of an armed robber,” Eucharia, currently serving as an evangelist at a church in Egbeda, Lagos state said, recalling a movie she played with Patience Ozorkwo (aka Mama G), where they robbed a bank and fully armed with AK-47.
Continuing, the ‘Abuja Connection’ act talked about how her colleagues relate with her after she became born again.
She said, “I remember years ago when I gave my life to God, my colleagues were laughing at me. ‘Your mates are busy doing aristo, your mates are busy seeing governors, your mates are busy going to the clubs in Victoria Island, Ikeja, and everywhere, you sey na church you wan go’.
“They used to say that ‘something is wrong with Eucharia’. ‘Can you imagine with all her degrees, and doctorate in waiting, na to go church?’
But today, by the grace of God, where I sit they can’t sit; where I go they can’t go. I sit with governors and presidents not for aristo, and not for someone to take me to a corner of a room to sleep with me.
“I am not among the superstars they would say, ‘that one get good shape, go corner her for hotel for me’ and they come and meet you only in the night. They don’t need to take me to any corner of the room through Personal Assistant.
“They call me to the lobby of the governor or president’s chapel to pray and declare the word of God Almighty. And when I am done, they shake my hands and say, ‘lay hands on me,” the 51-year-old movie star added.
Dorine – the lady who sadly lost her husband and her daughter in one of the infamous Peace Mass Transit accident has given an insight of her new life as a widow:
See what she wrote below:
When i found myself in this my new status (widowhood) people made promises but failed me. Some said sorry and left me to my worries and pain alone.
Some will be happy thinking I have fallen and my world have crumbled, #exhales# then the devil will smile and say “let me watch u praise God again after he allowed u pass through this”.
Then I cried, gnashed my teeth, confided myself, also fled severally but In all this, i sat back and reason. If this didn’t happen what would have happened. Then I picked up my bible and searched for the word Widows and then I realised that God gave me so much promises, wow!!
All I do is challenge him with his words and am able to live each day. He said he is the husband to the widows and father to the fatherless chaiiii!!!!. Tell me if I won’t progress in life knowing such promises are from the God that never fails.
Do u know what it is to be a wify to Jesus? My dear ,then I realised I got no worries. All I have to do is have a good relationship with Him, give him praises and worship him in truth and in Spirit and He will move mountains for my sake.? Devil u have lost cos even if I lose everything I cherish God is still God. Happy new week friends.

Below is how the story was shared alongside screenshots:
FAKE GYNECOLOGIST BUSTED BY A SMART LADY ON SOCIAL MEDIA…LADIES SHINE YOUR EYES
Ladies using social media need to be very careful else they fall for cheap lies from guys claiming to be big boys.
Had a good laugh last night reading the conversation between a self-acclaimed Gynecologist and a very smart lady on a social media platform (Badoo).
The fake Gynecologist with a Masters in Anatomy goes by the name Dr. A** ***o, a native of Imo State working at Garki Hospital and residing in Kubwa, FCT-Abuja.
So many injuries have been reported ever since they kick started the 2016 Olympic games in Rio few days ago – a Great Britain gymnast is one of those victims who have suffered an injury during the games.
Team Great Britain’s Ellie Downie suffered a sickening fall on her neck – before returning to the Olympic arena to complete the competition.
17-year-old Downie, competing in her first Olympic Games, was competing in the women’s gymnastics qualifying round in Rio. She had already safely negotiated her way through the bars and beam, was beginning the floor potion of the competition when she suffered her freak accident.
Nottingham-born Downie is an accomplished and powerful tumbler but while somersaulting she failed to get her body all the way around and landed on the mat directly on her head and neck.
After leaving the arena for treatment Downie returned to complete the vault landing both well.
Her efforts left Team GB in third place in the overall rankings assuring them of a place in Tuesday’s eight-team final.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome of the Love-World Ministry has decided to give marriage another trial, after his messy divorce and so many other scandalous stories thrilling the man of God and his previous marriage to the mother of his two kids.
According to report by Thisday, it was revealed that the controversial man of God and founder of the Believers’ Love-world a.k.a Christ Embassy is considering taking a new wife after his divorce with the mother of his two daughters, Pastor Anita.
Though the new development has not been made known to the congregation, but it was gathered a close source to the man of God revealed that a large segment of the congregation are already aware of his plan to take a new wife.
Shockingly, it has also been learnt that the ladies have started positioning themselves to fill up the void created by Anita’s departure from his life, as a lot of fair-skinned ladies in the church’s branches at home and abroad have started jostling to become the next Mrs. Oyakhilome. But Pastor Chris is reportedly not interested in any of them.
Sources revealed that by the time he names his new bride, every member of his congregation will gape in surprise.
The billionaire pastor allegedly gave up on his former wife when it became clear to him that there was no way that they could resolve their differences and save their marriage. Previous attempts to reconcile the couple by church elders, friends and family had proved futile.
While Pastor Chris prepares to take a new bride as widely speculated, his estranged wife, Anita has since reverted to her maiden name. She is now to be addressed as Anita Ebhodaghe.
President Buhari and his grand daughter are giving us some father-daughter goals this morning!
The president was spotted ‘taking iPad tutorial from one his grandchildren’. Lol Despite his busy schedule, our president sure has time for his grand children.
Not many many men have the courage to go through this kinda scenario which is why this man’s courage and devotion should be saluted!
37 year old Lee Chester, made the brave decision after his three-year-old daughter Esme’s kidneys suddenly failed and she suffered a stroke.
Now, he and the little girl are recovering in separate hospitals, where they are both doing ‘really well‘, the Manchester Evening News reports.
Speaking from his hospital bed, Lee said:
“We are both doing really well. I’m so glad it’s gone well for Esme. She’s eating mashed potato in bed.
“I’m quite sore so I’ll have to milk it at home for a bit. It really does show the importance of opting in for organ donation. It really does save lives.
On donating his own kidney, he added:
”This is something that any parent would do, you just say yes, it’s in the terms.
Doctors have not been able to diagnose what caused Esme’s kidneys to suddenly fail in June last year or why she suffered a potentially-deadly stroke on Christmas Eve morning.
Truly, it feels useless to have a lifeguard at the Olympics when you have a buttload of professional swimmers there – but for the sake of precaution, they just gotta be there!
So this Twitter user is telling you to remember this guy whenever you feel useless… Hehe…
Between… how many of us are optimistic about the performance of Team Nigeria, so far so good, they’ve been doing well you know?
After I read these curses, I was scared for my life too… I will most certainly, at any point in time of my entire life, want to piss this woman off! It’s like she gave the guy the redefined plagues of Egypt…
So Nigerian Twitter users, @FemiTripp & @Tosinadeda had a Twitter feud days ago which caused Tosin to make allegations of fraud against Femi and his wife.
Though Femi took it all in on a low low but when his wife got wind of the allegations, she came with all fury of hell on Twitter to address Tosin.
Please be warned that these curses are quite powerful! You know how they say “Hell has no fury than a scorned woman“, that statement has come to play here oh!
A day after the Twitter lady’s curses, this happened to Tosin:
Nigerian boyfriends can be as annoying as they can be sweet. However, some are just too insensitive to women and how they operate, reason and communicate. Normally, when a girl says no, she means “I’m not that cheap, try harder and I will say yes.”
Sometimes ladies, especially the under 25, just want their boyfriends to show them that they care beyond words.
When a boyfriend exhibits any of the signs below, they get turned off “that one is not a serious somebody,” they will say. Below are things that boyfriends do that girlfriends detest.
1. When you tell him to stop calling you because you are angry and he stays mute for weeks.
2. When you try to eat from his plates and he starts acting drama.
3. When you tell him you’re broke and instead of him to do ‘transfer’ he says “me too.”
4. When you’re having an argument and instead of letting you win, he starts throwing facts and logic your way.
5. When you tell him you like his watch and he doesn’t immediately give it to you.
6. When he ‘cums’ before you and then sleeps off leaving you hanging.
7. When he tells you your best friend has a bigger backside than you. Really?
8. When he won’t tell you his ATM pin.
9. When you tell him that you don’t want anything for Valentine’s day and he actually doesn’t buy you anything.
10. When something is bothering you and he can’t read your mind to know what’s wrong.
11. When you tell him “I’m fine” and he actually stops asking what’s wrong.
12. When you start forming vex and start leaving and he really allows you leave.
13. When he does not tell you ‘I love you’ every day.
14. When he says his mother’s jelloff rice is sweeter than your own.
15. When you send him a message and hours later he has still not replied. He better be dead.
16. When he doesn’t get you a gift for Independence day, Easter, Sallah, Children’s day, and his own birthday. What is now his use?
17. When it’s been one hour and he hasn’t checked up on you. What is his excuse?
18. When you’re meant to be the only woman in his life but he is still in contact with his mother and sisters.
19. When you want to make your hair and he wants to pay his school fees instead. Is that how to love?
20. When you’re ready for marriage and he is complaining that it’s just been six months. Adam married Eve the same day he met her!
A former speaker of the House of Representatives, Ghali Umar Na’Abba, yesterday fired back at former President Olusegun Obasanjo on his allegation that members of the National Assembly are corrupt.
Na’Abba, while fielding questions from newsmen in Kano said Obasanjo was one of the most corrupt Nigerians. He said the former president should explain to Nigerians how he became one of the richest Nigerians after leaving office, when he had virtually nothing before he assumed office.
Na’Abba said as speaker of the House of Representatives, he had cause to take Obasanjo on various expenditure offences he committed that the former president could not defend.
He said:
“Well, I don’t think there is anybody that is more corrupt in this country than the former president. I believe you are talking about former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
“As the Speaker, I took Obasanjo on various expenditure offences which he committed, which he could not defend and didn’t show any remorse. In fact, that is why sometime in 2002, the National Assembly tried to impeach him.
“So, he has not got the integrity to call anybody corrupt. This is a man who became the president with nothing, today he is one of the richest Nigerians. Let him explain to Nigerians how he acquired all the wealth,” Na’Abba alleged.
“I am aware that, during the tenure elongation attempt of Obasanjo, money was shared to the members of the National Assembly. It was alleged that the senators collected N50 million, House of Representatives members collected N40 million. But, I also know that it was not all the members that collected this money. Some of them collected, some of them did not. But, I am aware that money was shared,” he also alleged.
