An apparently wretched mother in India has been jailed for life after killing her six-month-old daughter so she could pay more attention to her sick son.
27 year old Ritu Ahuja, was found guilty at the High Court in Jabalpur, India of murdering the young girl, called Arohi, and dumping her body near a temple.
She was arrested after CCTV footage showed her taking the infant away from her house in a baby bag and driving away but returning without the bag.
According to the Times of India, she had took the baby who was sleeping in her cot and then drowned her in a pool of water in a desolate lane.
Ahuja later told police that her son is often ill, and she was unable to care for him properly because her daughter took up much of her time.
She told police:
‘I was already having trouble in bringing up a two-year-old child and now with this baby it became extremely difficult for me to manage.’
After her trial yesterday, she was led away from the High Court with a blanket covering her head. She was then put into a van and was taken to prison to start her life sentence.
A school in Portland, Oregon, has granted approval to a local Satanic Temple’s request to set up an after-school programme for pupils.
Children at Sacramento Elementary School, which educates pupils aged between 5 and 10, will have the opportunity to attend the Satanic club’s inaugural meeting on October 19.
Satanic Temple spokesman Finn Rezz told Oregon Live, the club would focus on “on science and rational thinking” promoting “benevolence and empathy for everybody” – while providing an alternative voice to the Bible-centred “Good News Club”.
On its After School Satan Club website, the Satanic Temple says it has been starting after school clubs to provide an alternative to evangelical Christian organisations that offer similar programmes in many schools across the US.
“Across the nation, parents are concerned about encroachments by proselytizing evangelicals in their public schools, and are eager to establish the presence of a contrasting voice that helps children to understand that one doesn’t need to submit to superstition in order to be a good person.
“Our goal, ultimately, is to place an ASSC in every school where the Good News Clubs, or other proselytizing religious groups, have established a presence.”
Sacramento Elementary is the second school in Oregon to get an After School Satan Club. The first, Nehalem Elementary School, was set up earlier this year.
Previously, the Satanic Temple produced a colouring book, the The Satanic Children’s Big Book of Activities which offered simple, educational exercises, such as drawing an inverted pentagram round an image of Satan.
The woman in the photo above has caused quite a stir online after news emerged that she has been staying with two husbands under one roof for the past six years.
Mai Svova, who made Kephas Takawira, 40, and Tambudziko Svova, 60, live together peacefully sharing one stove and wife, dismissed claims she uses love potions.
According to Mai Svova, her husband (Svova) of 15 years’ role is to provide food since he is gainfully employed while the unemployed Kephas gives her kids.
“Ndiri manjenje ganda revasikana totem, I strongly believe in Christianity that I do not use love potions to make my two husbands live peacefully,’ she said.
“My first husband is the one who helps the family financially since the second one is still to get a job after he lost one. I married the second since my first husband is infertile to give me children and we discussed about it amicably. He asked me to take his nephew secretly to bear children with me but I refused because he was younger than me.
“Svova allowed me to look for another man to bear children behind his back and that is how I started dating Kephas. Svova had a daughter with another wife when he married me and Kephas dated this daughter behind my back since we are neighbours.
I confronted him over it and he promised to stop dating her on condition that I disclose our illicit affair to Svova and this is how it came to light. I have two children with Kephas although Svova’s relatives believe that he is the father of the children. My neighbours were irked by the developments that at one time they wanted Svova to attack Kephas promising him support and the incident ended at Epworth police station where we received counselling,” she said.
Mai Svova told H-Metro Zimbabwe that her relatives are aware of her polygamous marriage and has plans to help Kephas financially in order to pay part of lobola since he is unemployed.
Kepahs confirmed living peacefully with Svova saying he prepares food for Svova during mai Tafadzwa’s absence.
“We are living peacefully with Svova and whenever our wife is away I prepare food for Svova and when the wife is with me for some days Svova shares a bed with our elder child,’ said Kephas.
Our neighbours are shocked about it but we are not moved by it and we wonder why this story delayed to reach you guys because this has been the situation for some years,” said Kephas.
This young Nigerian soldier, Celestine Nwabueze, is receiving accolades after he bravely stayed back to help a woman deliver her baby when the rest of the villagers had fled over Boko Haram threat.
According to Celestine, Boko Haram terrorists were on the verge of attacking the village in Borno, so the people fled, but he dauntlessly stayed back and, putting his own life at risk, with his guns drawn, stood guard over the woman as she laboured and gave birth to a bouncing baby boy.

The woman wants to name the child after me, but due to am a Christian and she is not, I have to give her a name Abukar that’s in Igbo, it’s Ebuka.
The Federal Government has declared Monday, October 3, as Public Holiday to mark the nation’s 56th Independence Anniversary.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Acting Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Interior, Alhaji Muhammadu Maccido and issued to Vanguard on Thursday in Abuja.
“The Minister of Interior, Lt Gen (rtd) Abdulrahman Bello Dambazau, while making the declaration on behalf of the Federal Government, congratulates Nigerians at home and abroad on the commemoration of this year’s independence anniversary and assures them that Government is working assiduously to put in place various palliative measures to cushion the effects of the current economic challenges.
“The Minister enjoins all Nigerians to continue to support President Muhammadu Buhari in his avowed determination to build a strong, virile and united country in line with the dream of the country’s founding fathers”, the statement added.
Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, has stated that the country is already getting out of the economic recession, given the pragmatic approaches the Federal Government is taking to reverse the trend.
She said this on Wednesday while fielding questions from journalists at the end of a two-day National Council of Finance and Economic Development conference held at the Green Legacy Resort, Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Abeokuta.
She also noted that since the problems have been identified, and steps are already being taken to block waste, the road to recovery was sure.
She said:
“We are already getting out of recession because of the actions the Federal Government is taking.
“We are investing more in capital than we have ever invested. We are sorting out infrastructure, we are stopping wastage and so the signs of recovery are already there.”
She explained that agriculture and solid minerals are already starting to grow, as they are responding to government’s policy initiative.
Adeosun said stakeholders from 36 states across the country had brainstormed for two days while resource persons also delivered papers, adding that the economic recovery would be driven at the state and local government levels.

A family in Zimbabwe is currently in disarray after a Harare woman tried to snatch her sister’s husband.
According to H-Metro, stunning revelations are that Rose Naomi, 20, stashed some herbs in her privates to lure Lawrence Muvirimi so that he leaves his wife Loreta Kondo Muvirimi, 32.
The affair was publicly exposed after the two cheats’ WhatsApp conversation leaked.
Lawrence’s sister in law agreed to sleep with him for a cellphone and US$50.
Loreta first discovered Rose’s message to Lawrence questioning why he was on line. In suspicion, Loreta said she then took Lawrence’s phone and started chatting with Rose, disguising to be Lawrence.
Whilst asking her leading questions, Loreta then found out that the two were having an adulterous affair.
“My husband came back from work around 4:30pm and I took his phone to charge it.
“That is when l realised that my sister’s chat was right on top which is really strange because l never hear from her so l decided to continue with the chat pretending to be my husband.
“I then found out that she was actually asking for money and a cell phone from him for sex,” said Loreta.
Loreta said she then informed her elder sister whom she teamed up with to trap Rose by arranging a fake meeting with Lawrence.
“Since I was the one who was in possession of my husband’s phone, I then told Rose to come to High-Glen shopping centre where I had promised to give her the phone and the money in exchange for sex.
From the way that she was dressed and how she was wearing makeup one could tell that she wanted to lure my husband.
“My elder sister and I left the car and instructed Rose through chat message to get inside the car and when she went inside we locked the doors,” said Loreta
Loreta said Rose wanted to use juju on Lawrence since she found herbs stashed in her private parts.
“I never thought your own sister can be that evil; we asked her why she was planning to have sex with my husband.
“She lied that there was no way she would have sex with him since she was on her menstrual period.
“We asked her to strip and when she stripped that was when we found juju stashed in her private part,” she said.
She also revealed this was not the first time that Rose made advances on her husband.
“When she was in form two, she once sent a message to my husband asking him to buy her panties,
“I didn’t take it seriously then because I thought she was childish to make such a request from him but I can see now that she was always after my husband,” she added.
Meanwhile, Rose denied having an affair with Lawrence but accused her sister of jealousy.
“I think my sister failed to understand the motives of the chat I had with her husband.
“I have my own husband and it was only a friendly conversation between me and my sister’s husband.
“She was only suspicious because l rarely chat with her but I talk to her husband,” she said.
When asked for comment Lawrence confirmed the relationship and said he was peer pressured to act that way by his workmates.
“Yes l was having flirting conversations with Rose and actually we started talking years ago.
“I was being influenced by my workmates to be in a relationship with her that is why we were sending all those messages to each other.
“I also feel that my mother-in-law was behind all this because she knew about my relationship with Rose because at one time I was using her phone to talk to Rose,” he said.
Wedding photos of the couple sister wanted to break up:
While scrolling through the internet, I stumbled upon this and sure will tickle your fancy.
Of course, so many ladies will opt out of such jobs, probably because they see themselves as “SLAY QUEENS”. Obviously a “slay queen” cannot do such job.
This Lady named Ebiminor Preye is proud of what she does and has an advice for idle ladies.
Read what she wrote below:-
I want to address some ladies. I know I don’t have a bunch on my list, but if you are a lady then this is for you.
It’s not pride, I was telling a friend few days ago that I pity those who are not our friends now, because very soon they will struggle to get a glimpse of us.
Now, if you are a lady, girl and you are not doing anything. You just sit Changing DPs and PM,chatting with guys and you are above 20 please know that time is running out.
If you didn’t go to school, that’s a little bit worse but it’s not the end of life, Colonel Sanders was 62 when he founded KFC that shocked the world.
Who is that guy wasting your life? What have you placed value on? If you don’t place value on yourself, very soon that guy will dump you.
The only way to know you value yourself is not by wearing the most expensive pancakes with the money that a guy gave to you. It’s by taking responsibility and being responsible.
The truth of the matter is that, guys have become wiser over the years and will not want to spend the rest of their lives with a liability.
You are not doing anything, you have no skill. You say you are a sexy girl. Are there not sexy girls with brains? Or are you the only girl?
Take a decision right now, go out there and learn a skill, you can learn tailoring, hair-dressing, mechanic, make-up or learn what am doing now P.O.P.
Don’t let any guy intimidate you with his car. Develop yourself and very soon you will employ him as your driver.. Stop seeing cars, start seeing stars
Few days ago, a group of backpackers found a portrait of a man painted on the side of a cliff in the city of Taizhou, Zhejiang province, China – it was later revealed that the portrait was painted by a 37-year-old woman in order to profess her love to a man.
The portrait would likely have been discovered sooner were it not for the fact that the 218-meter-high cliff wall where the portrait was painted was off main routine path. The portrait is 6 to 7 meters high, with the subject’s expression vividly depicted. All clues pointed to the work being done by a skilled painter.
According to a man surnamed Wang, a member of the local rock-climbing club, the portrait was painted by a climber named Lingling.
After falling in love with a fellow club member named Chen Geng, Lingling decided to paint Chen’s portrait on the mountain cliff to show her love.
Lingling came to the mountain every weekend and worked on her masterpiece after spending several hours climbing to its site. In order to save time, she lived on the mountain during weekends.
It took Lingling two months to complete the portrait. She used mineral pigment so that the painting would be preserved for a long time. Wang said it was not right to paint on a tourist site, but that Lingling’s love for Chen is true.
The People’s Daily China reports that after her painting was discovered by the local tourism department, Lingling promised to remove the portrait soon.
A 35-year-old man, Ejike Onyejekwe, has been killed in the FESTAC Town area of Lagos State.
According to PUNCH Metro, the victim, who lived on 21 Road, K Close, FESTAC, was stabbed to death after winning a lot of money from a lottery.
Onyejekwe, to celebrate the winning, bought drinks for his friends and threw a party last Thursday and Friday. It was learnt that on Friday evening, he was heard arguing with an unidentified person on the phone.
He allegedly told his friend he was going to see the man, but never returned. His corpse was allegedly discovered the next day on one of the estates.
A resident, who did not want to be identified, said the chairman of the estate called the attention of residents to the corpse on Saturday.
He said:
“I was sipping tea around 7am when I heard the chairman blowing a whistle. I thought it was strange, but my wife called my attention to the surging crowd on the estate.
“I went downstairs and saw the corpse on the road. Like everybody, I was alarmed. We could not tell how the corpse got there or who he was. He had multiple stab injuries in the head. We all resolved that the case should be reported at the FESTAC Police Station.”
It was learnt that some of the victim’s friends later identified him.
The corpse was said to have been deposited in a morgue, while the police arrested and detained the chairman of the estate and his secretary; they were later released.
A source told PUNCH Metro that the victim won a lottery few days to his death.
He said:
“The man won a lot of money in a lottery and from last Thursday to Friday, he was asking his friends to drink at his expense.
“He was called on the phone that Friday evening and he went to meet a man. I suspect that a gang stabbed him and used an object to hit him in the head. There were bruises on his knees and it appeared they dragged him on the floor as well.
“When the police were removing his corpse, blood was dripping from his mouth and nostrils. He was murdered in cold blood.”
A friend of the victim, who did not identify himself, said his relative had visited the community.
“I can’t say why he was killed. Nobody knows. He just returned from a visit to the village,” he added.
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, confirmed the incident, adding that the case had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Yaba.
She added that the police had already arrested two suspects in connection with the death.
She said,
“The chairman of one of the estates reported that at about 7am, he woke up and saw the victim lying lifeless with injuries on his head and body. The corpse was deposited at the Isolo General Hospital Mortuary for autopsy. Two suspects, Suleiman Ahmed and Ibrahim Yusuf, were arrested and the case transferred to the SCIID for further investigation.”
A lady was given the beating of her life and dumped at the side of the street ‘after being caught by scorned wife‘ in China.
Passersby stopped to help the woman up after the brutal attack in eastern China’s Shandong Province yesterday.
It was reported that the lady, who was left with a heavily swollen face after the beating, was battered by the scorned wife of her lover.
Some of the 28-year-old’s teeth were knocked out after she took a blow to the mouth, and she was spotted slumped up against a tree in low bushes in what appears to be a busy built-up area.
Reports making the rounds claimed the woman was actually attacked by four men hired by the cheating man’s wife. The posts alleged she had been detained and beaten for several days.
An Indian man, who goes by the name, Jay Keswani, has been apprehended by the Lagos state police command for allegedly assaulting his wife’s domestic help, Faith Nwaneri, on the Banana Island, Ikoyi area of the state.
According to PUNCH Metro, Keswani was apprehended on Tuesday by the Adeniji Adele division after about six weeks he allegedly evaded arrest.
Faith, who worked for the Indian businessman, was hit on the face on Friday, August 12, while in the Keswanis’ apartment on the Banana Island.
She was said to have been assaulted for coming late to work on that day. It was learnt that Faith sustained a facial injury after which she reported the matter at the Ikoyi Police Division.
Policemen from the division had reportedly gone to the Island to arrest the Indian, but were allegedly prevented from entering the area.
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, confirmed the Indian’s arrest, adding that he would be charged to court at the end of investigation.
She said,
“The police arrested him on Tuesday. He was nabbed by the Adeniji Adele division. He was tracked to his house. When the suspect discovered that the police were on the lookout for him, he initially fled.
“But when he thought the tension was down, he returned to his house and was arrested. The family support unit of the division is in charge of the case. The Indian has not confessed to the crime, but all the evidences before the police indicate that he assaulted the lady. He will be charged to court.”
Faith’s elder brother, Chukwuka, had narrated that her sister was late to work on that Friday, because the security men delayed to give her a pass.
He said,
“Keswani’s wife queried Faith for coming late, and she explained that she was delayed by the security men at the gate for lack of a pass. The Indian’s wife became angry and reported Faith to her husband.
“There was an altercation and my sister was hit on the face; she began to bleed. She fell and became unconscious, but they thought she was pretending. When she regained consciousness, she headed for a public hospital at Falomo, and also reported at the Ikoyi Police Station. The police at Ikoyi invited the Indian, but he did not show up.”
Punch adds that the matter was also reported to the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Response Team, Alausa.
The DSVRT Coordinator, Lola Vivour-Adeniyi, said,
“The case was brought to our attention on September 14.
“It came to our knowledge that the case was first reported at the Ikoyi division, but the police at that level were unable to invite him.
“The case was transferred to another police section on September 2, but the Indian did not appear to write his statement until September 7.
“When the matter got to us, the DSVRT referred the case to the Adeniji Adele division. The Divisional Police Officer referred the case to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Yaba, and the Commissioner of Police directed that the matter be charged to court.”
A source at the Adeniji Adele division said the Indian, in his statement to the police, insisted that he was not guilty of the offence.
Talented and award winning Nigerian makeup artiste, Bimpe Onakoya made headlines last Tuesday after she announced she has put to bed and shared a very adorable photo of her newborn triplets.
It’s rather unfortunate that Nigerians won’t be reading or hearing anything else about the babies cause the make-up artiste has said she’s not going to publicly speak about them.
When she was contacted by TheNetng to get details of her childbirth, Bimpe said:
‘I’m not talking about my babies. I am not a celebrity. I just gave birth to them yesterday and I don’t want to talk about my life.
I only uploaded the photo on Facebook for my family, that is why it is not on my Twitter and Instagram,’ she added.
The makeup artist wants to keep her personal life away from the public. She and her husband were robbed at gun-point in Johannesburg, South Africa back in June.
There was confusion at Sycamore Junction, Ajara Topa area of Badagry, Lagos State, after some customs officers allegedly opened fire on some residents.
It was learnt that the officers, who were attached to the Federal Operations Unit, were chasing a smuggler who had fled into the community.
Among the four people hit by stray bullets were a motorcycle rider, Alayoade Arewayo and one John Sonayo.
While Arewayo survived and was rushed to a private hospital in Badagry, Sonayo was said to have died in transit from the Badagry General Hospital to the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja.
The other two, whose names could not be ascertained as of press time, were reportedly taken to a hospital in Cotonou, Benin Republic.
Punch Metro gathered that immediately the incident happened, the customs officers fled the scene. They were said to have got reinforcement from a military barracks in the area to forestall a mob attack.
Arewayo, who sustained a gunshot injury in the leg, said he was returning from a church programme around 7.30pm on Saturday when he was hit by a stray bullet.
He said:
“I had a crusade programme at Marina, Ebute area on that day. I had left the place for home when it started raining. I decided to call at a shop to buy noodles that I would take in the night.
“I had hardly dropped off my motorcycle, when I started hearing sporadic gunshots; people were running helter-skelter. I thought it was armed robbery. The people I wanted to buy noodles from had also taken to their heels.
“As I fled for dear life, I was hit by a bullet in the leg. I fell and was assisted to a hospital by my friend that was with me. It was later I was told that four people were shot and one person later died.”
It was learnt that the customs officers neither went to the community in their operational vehicle nor wore their uniforms. They were reportedly led by one DSC Jude.
A resident of the community, Mr. David Taiwo, said he reported the incident at the Badagry Police Division around 8.30pm, adding that the Divisional Police Officer assigned a policeman to visit the scene of the shooting.
He said:
“We discovered that the customs officers were from the Federal Operations Unit in Ikeja; they were posted to Badagry. They were not in their operational vehicle and they didn’t wear their uniform. They came in a private car. They pursued a smuggler, who loaded about eight bags of rice.
“To effect arrest, they started shooting sporadically. Four innocent people were hit by bullets. One of them, John Sonayo, was taken to the Badagry General Hospital, but he was referred to LASUTH. It was on the way that he died. The family members of the other victims took them to Cotonou for treatments. The victims were not smugglers.”
Taiwo said the customs officers ran to Ibereko Baracks to get reinforcement against members of the community that had gathered to attack them.
A community leader said no fewer than 10 residents had been allegedly killed in 2016 by operatives of the Nigeria Customs Service, adding that the officers usually harassed residents.
“Sometimes, they move from house to house with the help of soldiers. They ransack houses and shops. People in Badagry now live in fear,” he added.
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, confirmed that there was a shooting incident in the area, adding that the police had written the customs authorities for details.
She said:
“We have written to the customs authorities to furnish us with relevant facts that will aid our investigations into the matter.”
The spokesperson for the NCS, Mr. Jerry Attah, said he had yet to be briefed on the incident, adding that he would get back to our correspondent as soon as he was able to get across to the leader of the team.
“But as a command, we don’t condone indiscipline and we don’t encourage our officers to shoot at harmless civilians. We will investigate the case,” he said.
However, an official told Punch that those shot were smugglers, adding that the customs service recovered two cars filled with smuggled rice.
He said:
“What happened that day was that some customs officers, attached to Iyafi checkpoint, apprehended two unregistered Passat Station Wagon loaded with smuggled rice along Sycamore Hotel Road. One of the vehicles was attacked by the smugglers en route to the customs office.
“Some of the customs officers fired several shots to secure their safety, thereby injuring two persons, while the two cars were forcefully released by the smugglers. One of the injured persons was taken to the general hospital where he later died. The other person is responding to treatment in a hospital in Badagry.”
So it looks like the country’s 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign may be over before it even begins. This is because the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) have said it is so broke that it cannot afford to fly the Super Eagles players to Zambia for next month’s third-round qualifier.
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is right now shopping for N85 million to execute the 2018 World Cup qualifier against the Chipolopolo of Zambia on October 9 in Ndola.
The NFF had in recent weeks been lamenting what an official described as ‘no cash’ situation to carry on their activities, particularly the fast approaching tie against Zambia.
A top official of the body told The Guardian yesterday that they require about N85 million for the match in Ndola.
We need about N85 million to take care of the match against Zambia on October 9, but as we speak, we don’t have any kobo in our purse. We have appealed to Globacom to come to our aid by footing the bills. We are still waiting for response from the Federal Government,” the official stated.
Breaking down the NFF budget for the World Cup qualifier against Zambia, the official, who pleaded anonymity, said:
“The charges for the Airline alone is $200,000 for a 140-seater plane, and it will be on ground with the team for two days. We need between $6,000 and $10,000 for flight ticket to bring in the players.
Their bonuses alone are within the range of N30 million. We don’t have any kobo in our purse right now, hence the need for us to approach Glo to come to our aid. But the Federal Government still has to play its part because this is the beginning of our campaign for the 2018 World Cup qualifying ticket. If we must get it right, every hand must be on deck,” the official stated.
The Super Eagles versus Chipolopolo’s 2018 World Cup qualifier was initially billed for Monday, October 3, but the hosts, Zambia moved the date to Sunday October 9 without giving any reason. The venue still remains Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola
Reality TV stars, Rob Kardashian and his fiancee, Blac Chyna have been fighting for months nows and according to reports, it’s partially because he’s convinced she’s going to leave him for a rapper.
Sources close to the parents-to-be say Rob’s never been comfortable with aspects of Chyna’s past. For instance, he’s brought up her relationships with Tyga and Future.
She had to stop listening to certain songs when Rob was around because he once told her point-blank,
“You’d rather date a rapper than a fat Armenian.”
According to TMZ, Rob has spiraled back into depression, and has gained back the 50 pounds he lost shortly after hooking up with Chyna … again hovering around 300 lbs. He’s given up on life again, retreating to the confines of his home.
Kardashian sources say.. Rob and Blac Chyna have split, and he’s been living at his own home for nearly 2 months, almost never walking out his front door.
Rob is also MIA for his own show. Chyna — who’s 8 months pregnant — showed up for an appearance to promote “Rob & Chyna” and he was a no-show. He didn’t even stop by the baby shower that was thrown specifically for him a few days ago.
One big problem … Chyna is the one who pulled Rob out of his depression, but now the relationship has become the big problem — they fight whenever they’re together and it just deepens the problems.
As one source put it,
“Rob is slipping back into a dark place.” We’re told the family is praying he “snaps out of it,” and they want to do whatever they can to help him.
His convos with fiancee Blac these days are tense … especially if Chyna suggests he work out and eat healthy. He takes it as an insult.
Delectable Nollywood actress and mother of 2, Georgina Onuoha, adds another year to her age today and she shared these lovely photos to mark her special day.
She even wrote an ode to herself. Read below:
May the road rise to meet me
May the wind be always at me back.
May the sun shine warm upon my face,
The rains fall soft upon my fields.
May God hold me in the palm of his hand.
May God be with me and bless me;
May i see my children’s children.
May i be poor in misfortune,
Rich in blessings,
May i know nothing but happiness
From this day forward.
May the warm rays of sun fall upon my home
And may the hand of a friend always be near me.
May green be the grass i walk on,
May blue be the skies above me,
May pure be the joys that surround me,
May true be the hearts that love me
Happy birthday to me.

The Annual Reward Nigeria Award, hosted by Culbeat New concepts Limited at Four Point Sheraton Hotel, Lagos, was held in honour of five students who distinguished themselves as the best graduating students in their respective institutions across Nigeria.

Hours after the Nigerian male Barbie confirmed that his “Bae” was actually a man , he came out to issue a public apology to Nigerian gay activist, Bisi Alimi and his gay fans for saying he supports Nigeria’s 14 year jail term anti-gay marriage law.
In an interview he had in the penultimate week, he had revealed he is not gay and in fact, to prove he really is not, he strongly seconded the Anti-gay law in Nigeria – his notion, caused the stir of his gay fans and the gay rights activist.
The male barbie has now come out to apologize because according to him, his friends also called him out.
The Nigerian gay rights activist, moments ago, shared the below on his Instagram page saying “living your authentic self will put a smile on your face.”
Living an authentic life is fulfilling. It might not make you rich or famous. It might not get you the ‘the best things’ in life. But it will get you one thing. One big thing. The pleasure of appreciating who you see when you look in the mirror.
Living your authentic self will put a smile on your face even when you are having a shitty day. It’s the best gift you can give you. Know thyself, love thyself
I love y’all always. ❤️ #authentic #realyou #gayman #blackgayman #acomplished #lovewins
