A man traveled to Vegas just so he could say ‘I do‘ to his smartphone.
Aaron Chervenak, 34, from Los Angeles, married his cellphone at The Little Vegas Chapel in Nevada last month in an attempt to make a point about society’s growing devotion to and reliance on their smartphones.
Aaron said in a video documenting his peculiar wedding.
‘If we’re gonna be honest with ourselves, we connect with our phones on so many emotional levels,’ ‘We look to it for solace, to calm us down, to put us to sleep, to ease our minds, and to me, that’s also what a relationship is about.’ So in a sense my smartphone has been my longest relationship,’ he added. ‘That’s why I decided to see what it was like to actually marry a phone.’
Aaron explained that when he arrived in Vegas, he contacted a local chapel to see if they would be willing to hold the ‘slightly unorthodox ceremony‘, and he was pleased to learn that they were more than open to it.
‘I think they were really excited about the prospect,’ he said. ‘It is something different and it is something new.’
During the ceremony, the officiant asked Aaron to think of all the ‘laughter‘ and ‘good times‘ he has shared with his cell phone before asking him to promise to ‘honor‘ and ‘comfort her‘

Remember the toddler Abubakar Usman whose eyes were plucked by ritualists months ago? The Kaduna State Government has been accused of abandoning him after reportedly pledging to care for and see him through school.
Journalist Femi Owolabi shared this update on the boy via his Facebook page. Read Below:
I didn’t want to share this before, but I just have to, so that we are all aware.
Months ago, Abubakar Usman lost his two eyes to suspected ritualists in Zaria, Kaduna State. The wicked humans used knife and other sharp objects to cut off the innocent four years old boy’s eyes.
Since my recent journalistic focus is on reconstruction and resettlement of the internally displaced persons in the North-East, I didn’t really pay a keen attention to Abu’s case.
Especially when I heard that the Kaduna State government, under the leadership of my friend, Nasir el-Rufai, had risen to the boy’s case– pledging to see to his welfare and education.
A very good friend, recently, raised Abu’s issue with me and insisted I go check on him. My friend is interested in Abu’s education.
“I wanna ensure this boy go to school so he becomes somebody in life,” my friend said.
For weeks, I was calling the Kaduna State Police PRO so I will be able to track Abu in Zaria. The officer wouldn’t pick my calls, neither did he return them. As a journalist, I then used other techniques to locating Abu and his family in Zaria.
I spent some moments with Abu and his family today in Zaria. In the coming week, I should publish a comprehensible report on Abu.
What saddens me? The Kaduna State government hasn’t redeemed its pledge; of taking care of Abu and seeing him through school! Abu has been abandoned! “We were only given N180, 000, and nothing else since then,” Usman, Abu’s father told me.
The good news? Help is on the way for Abu! I won’t leave Zaria until we enrol him in a school I found for him today!

We also thank everyone concerned and donating clothes etc towards their care
Gospel Tungba crooner, Yinka Ayefele has debunked the claim that he has converted to Islam. Earlier yesterday, the news of the conversion to Islam of the ace singer went viral with fans both home and abroad making calls to find out the veracity of the claim.
A release issued by his Publicist, David Ajiboye said, Ayefele is still a Christian and has no reason whatsoever to renounce his faith and believe.
“We believe the rumour must have emanated from the annual Ramadan Lecture which Fresh 105.9FM owned by Ayefele organized on Tuesday, in Ibadan.
“Our station, Fresh 105.9FM had invited popular Islamic preacher, Alhaji Muideen Ajani Bello as the Guest Preacher at our annual Ramadan Lecture which had over 4,000 people in attendance and because of this, some naïve minds went to town to spread the rumour about Ayefele’s conversion.”
Ajiboye stated further that the station is for everybody irrespective of your religion, race or colour.
“We believe its part of our social responsibility to organize such a spiritual rebirth programme to sensitize our Muslim listeners on the ideals of Islam most especially in this holy season.”
A man has left a girl totally mortified after convincing her to abandon her boyfriend and follow him to his private jet and she agreed, even lying in the process.
P.S: If you don’t wanna read through how it happened…Skip the read and scroll down below for the VIDEO
Corby Persin, a YouTube prankster from New York city has pulled an almighty one on an unsuspecting lady. He convinced her to cancel plans with her boyfriend after making her believe he owned a private jet then dumped her on the runway.
It all began when he approached her on the runway, she appeared disinterested but things changed when he mentioned his private jet at which point she agreed to join him and two strangers in a car to the airport to fly to Miami.
Here’s how it happened. While at the station, he asked her what she is doing later that evening she says: ‘I’m actually meeting my boyfriend.’
He says in response: ‘Oh you have a boyfriend? Oh, man. Right I’m going to leave you alone, you have a good night tonight with your boyfriend. Take care.’
But just as they part ways, he calls her back, saying ‘actually one more thing’ and asks her for her Instagram name so they can be ‘friends’.
As she enters her name into his phone, a car pulls up and a man said: ‘Hey Coby. The jet’s leaving in 20 minutes. We have to go.’
Her attitude visibly changes and appears to be impressed as she says: ‘You have a jet?’
Coby says: ‘Yeah, we’re just here on business but we’re going to Miami and then we’re coming back here later because we have a meeting in New York.
‘You want to come? If you want to come, I mean, you said you have something to do or whatever.’
When she asks: ‘Do you really have a jet?’ He invites her to join him – saying she can always go home if she changes her mind.
She appears sold and walks into the car containing two other male strangers – one of whom he introduces as his ‘manager’ and they pretend to talk about big money deals.
Coby says: ‘How big is the deal we’re doing? 1.2 million?…And the cash up front is 200k right?’
They get to the airport and her doubt vanishes when they actually board a plane, at this point she calls her boyfriend to cancel plans.
‘It’s ok. I’m just sick a little bit. I am really in pain so…I cannot make it tonight. I am really sad too. Babe I am so sorry. Love you, bye.’
The joke is on her as Cody still has an ace up his sleeve, he tells her to go out of the plane and take a photo of him from the outside, she complies without suspicion but it was all part of the plan.
He says: ‘You are going to be outside, I’m going to be with my head to the window and just get like a sick pic.’
Once she is outside he tells her to ‘go further back, get the picture’ through the window. Adding: ‘You ready?
Actually I don’t do jet diggers, you’re not coming in my jet. Get her off. She’s not supposed to be here…I don’t know her..’
She gets escorted away off the tarmac by airport staff and he says to the camera, laughing: ‘She cancelled on her boyfriend to come on the jet. She’s not coming in.’
Coby shared the video titled ‘Private Jet Gold Digger Prank! (EXPOSED)’, with his 2.3million YouTube subscribers and it had been viewed over 950,000 times.
Karma caught up too quickly with a 27-year-old popular ‘pick pocket’, Mdu, on Monday morning after his assignment to steal a wallet from his victim took an unexpected twist.
The culprit was said to have snatched a wallet from an elderly man suspected to be a Sangoma (traditional diviner) but to his amazement, while trying to check its content, it quickly turned into a deadly cobra in his hands.
An eye witness disclosed that Mdu tracked the alleged Sangoma who was about to board a taxi, confessed his crime and wanted to return the stolen item. He said:
“He stole a wallet from an old lad, people around are just saying the old man is a Sangoma but no one knows the man around. When he snatched the item, he went behind that billboard that’s when the wallet turned into a snake.
“Now he tracked the man and found him but the problem is the old fellow is denying his purse, he even produced a pouch like wallet as proof to show that the snake wallet wasn’t his.
“The snake is not biting him but its stuck in his hands he failed to throw it way, this is first grade black magic.
“The police just come after a commotion but they ignored the case, I am not sure what he is thinking right now but if the owner denies the wallet they will have to visit a popular local sangoma to cast out the spell”.
A police officer who was at the scene, revealed that they can’t do anything about it but have only called the Parks and Wildlife management department.
Brace yourself people! Get ready to be entertained Like never before!
So, there’s this video that went viral…about a Man who was innocently massaging a lady’s feet…and He sang a song titled “Sugar time” by “McGuire Sisters” released in 1958!
Here’s how he sang it…and it’s completely hilarious! He started with “Allah please forgive me”. Haha
A Ghanaian pastor, the head of the International Godsway Church, Bishop Daniel Obinim, during a recent healing service of his in his church, asked his male members who wanted bigger genitals to come out.
The pastor as seen in the video below then laid his hands on their genital and offered special prayers.
Early in March this year, the same pastor told his congregation he has the power to pray for anyone who wants bigger breast, buttocks or genitals.
According to him:
“If you do not like the looks of any part of the body, come to me, what do you want that I can’t offer…if you want a big buttocks I can do it for you, if you want big breasts, I can help…if you have a small manhood, I can change them all when I come to the spiritual realm…,”
Wife of Paul Okoye, Anita Okoye, says she has no regrets as she quit her job earlier this year. The mother of the singer’s kid took to her Instagram to share why she quit her job revealing she had to embark on personal projects.
She wrote:
“Changes. This quote resonates with me because, at the beginning of 2016, I found myself unfulfilled in my 9-5.”
“Life was a bit robotic, mundane, I felt limited. I never knew I would be an entrepreneur, but I knew I didn’t want to be sitting behind a desk all day.
The creative in me wanted some shine and I had to answer. Quitting my job, was a huge risk, financially and psychologically.
I swapped my high heels & Blazers for sneakers and hard hats.
I have no regrets, no looking back. I’ve been taking it one day at a time, it’s not been easy, but I’m nearly ready to reveal my new projects.”

Not more than two months after Kylie Jenner and Tyga went their separate ways for the second time, the reality TV superstar and the rapper are back together.
According to People, in fact, Jenner, 18, has invited the 26-year-old to move into her new Hidden Hills home.
“He still has money problems,” says the source of Tyga, who has had issues with unpaid back taxes and other financial disputes.
For now, no one in Jenner’s famous family appears to be up in arms about the reunion.
“Her family isn’t too upset about Kylie and Tyga being back together,” says the source. “They don’t think it’s permanent.” Adds a second source: “They don’t know what will happen but they care about each other and weren’t ready to walk away.”
A Texas woman fatally shot by police after killing her two daughters told her husband, “This is about punishing you,” .
A family friend of Taylor and Madison Sheats and their parents Christy and Jason Sheats told KTRK-TV on Tuesday that the shooting Friday evening at a suburban Houston home followed one of the couple’s frequent arguments.
Police said an officer fatally shot longtime gun rights advocate Christy Sheats, 42, after cops rushed to the Katy home to find her shooting at one of her daughters in the street. The argument between the women’s parents turned deadly on their father’s birthday, the family friend, Madison Davey told the TV station.
“He told Christy, ‘Just shoot yourself. Make it easy on all of us, just shoot yourself,’ and she said, ‘No, that’s not what this is about, this is about punishing you,’” Davey said. “I always knew something would happen. I never thought she would do this. Christy was toxic for the family. She was mentally unstable.”
The “completely off-the-wall emotional” mom once spent time in a mental institution, Davey said.
On Friday, she hid the gun under a couch and brought it out to fire on her own daughters at a family meeting she demanded because her husband refused to apologize for the argument, she said.
He would do anything to protect them and he tried to, but Christy was out to kill that day,” Davey said.
A 3-day-old baby girl in central California was allegedly mauled to death by her family’s dogs on Monday, police said.
The infant’s 33-year-old mother thought the two dogs(above) — reported as shar-pei and pit bull mixes, were restrained in the yard and did not pose a threat, police said.
“She left the door open because it was hot and she thought the dogs were tied up,” Sgt. Dan Macias with the Fresno Police Department told the Fresno Bee.
The unidentified mom left the baby on the couch and “walked away for a few seconds” when the tragic attack took place around 12:30 a.m. Monday, Macias said.
The baby was rushed to Community Regional Medical Center where she was pronounced dead. The male dogs were owned by the woman’s 30-year-old brother, police said.
One of the dogs was known to be aggressive, the woman told police. The dog’s owner reportedly surrendered them to the Central California Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, where they were due to be euthanized.
Curvy actress, Halima Abubakar, has insisted that she is not interested in getting married.
In a new chat with Encomium, she stood her ground after previously announcing she won’t be getting married.
Excerpts below:
Recently, there was a post that you said you’re not interested in marriage any longer. Why did you concluded on that?
Yes, because marriage has been overrated. It’s unnecessarily over rated. It’s just too much of headache with how things are now. Even ordinary relationship is a huge burden, huge headache and heartbreaking, let alone marriage. When you can’t stand each other as boyfriend and girlfriend, how would you live together under the same roof when you get married?
People need to know themselves seriously. When I say seriously, I mean spiritually before getting married. People only know themselves physically, not spiritually, so they end up getting bored with each other. And they will say they don’t want to get divorce because of what society would say after investing so much on the marriage.
They stay in that marriage and later it may become very irritating and they start fighting. Before they know it, everything becomes violent. You hear people say all sorts of things. You’re the one who allowed people to get to you and start telling you you’re getting old. You’re the one allowing them to convince you that you’re getting old, you need to get married. Everyone will surely get old. Who won’t get old? So, when people say I am getting old, get married, I would tell them that’s the only thing they know. People carry marriage like a flag.
Does that mean Halima is really not going to get married?
No, people should only try to be nice about marriage to make me interested in it. Don’t tell me actresses don’t stay in marriage. Olu Jacobs and Joke Silva have been married for long and they’re still in the marriage. Nothing happened to their union. Omotola and her husband have been married for long; they’re still very much together. She got married at a young age which is good. What I am trying to say is that going into marriage needs a lot; you don’t just go into it. My elder sister got married at 26 and she’s doing fine in the marriage with her husband. Now, tell me why won’t I want a family like that? But these days, people are just too much into social media, that’s why marriages are crashing. Marriage these days is not based on happiness and genuine love. Let me ask, who is that poor person that has married a billionaire son? So, why won’t marriage crash when it’s not based on happiness and genuine love?
But does it mean there is no man in your life at the moment?
At this time of my life, I am no longer interested in talking about anything. If there is or there’s none, that’s my problem. It’s nobody’s business. I have done that in the past. I have invested a lot emotionally, talking about my relationship. So, I am no longer interested in talking about my relationship. I am tired of talking. Let’s rest that case. Even on my wedding day, if I decide to marry, eventually, nobody is invited
The mission of a young man who set out to steal female pants that were spread outside a house in Oyo state, went awry as he was caught by residents of the area.
Following a report of the incident posted on Facebook by Asiwaju Oluwaseun Lanre, the unnamed female pants thief confessed that he sells the stolen pants to ritualists who pay him N500 for each pant.
After he was tortured, he went on to disclose that he is not the only person in the business and that they have sponsors. Read the post below as it was shared on the social media:
“This guy was arrested for stealing ladies panties/undies sells it for #500 After being tortured for some hours, he confessed he has been in the business for a while, and he’s being sponsored by some people. He said the leader pays him N500 per a panty. He claimed to come from Akinmoorin in Afijio LG.
“OVER TO YOU CARELESS LADIES:
Undies are better dried in your personal bathroom, or your living room in the absence of personal toilet/bathroom. These ritualists won’t give up! As they eat faeces (deficates) here and there, look for human parts and other things for their money rituals.
“The “yahoo boys” internet fraudsters are also there for you greedy and never satisfied/discontented girls and women, who’re gold diggers. It’s time to be very careful and watchful”.
Similarly, a 22-year-old man, Chigozie Ugwu, who was described as a serial underwear thief, was arrested in February by the police in Anambra State, for allegedly stealing no not less than 52 female pants.
While being interviewed, he said he did not know why he was obsessed with stealing female pants but that a particular spirit push him into the crime.
A woman’s underwear, especially her pant, is a strong point of contact to a major part of her body. Be careful!

According to Vanguard, a nursing mum Gloria Okore and her twins – a girl and a boy – have been detained at a private hospital in Lagos, seven weeks after she gave birth to them.
Reason? Her inability to settle the outstanding N35,000 hospital bill. Gloria gave birth on May 10th at the Bessylva Hospital and Maternity Home situated at 60, Surulere Street in Dopemu-Agege, Lagos, to preterm (7 months old) set of triplets but one, a girl, died due to lack of incubator to nurture her.
Speaking about her current situation, 27yrs old Gloria said:
“I had the triplets through normal delivery, but the babies were born prematurely. We were charged N120,000. My husband hawks fairly-used clothes (okrika). It took him time to raise N85,000, which he paid in installments.
I am from Owerri in Imo State, while my husband is from Abia State. We got married three years ago. Before I had these triplets, I had twins who died immediately after birth. When I was pregnant for the triplets, I was very sick. I could not walk long distance because my belly was very big.
I want government to help pay the balance of the hospital bills and also help us with basic necessities for the babies. Right now I cannot work because the babies are still young.”
Until October 21, 2013, Martha Mbulungo was a charming girl in Form Three at Yumbisye Mixed Day Secondary School, Kenya, until her boyfriend changed her life forever in a vicious attack..
“This is a day I would not like to remember as the suffering I got in the hands of my then boyfriend and fellow congregant at Jehovah Witness Church is still fresh and vivid in my mind,” asserts Martha.
On that fateful day, her then boyfriend Wilson Kyalo, then a Form Four student at Kyanika Day School asked her to escort him to a chemist.
They were walking along a narrow path when he turned and attacked her with a machete. He cut her in the right breast then chopped off both her arms. The motive of the attack remains a mystery to her even today.
“I fell down but he continued cutting me severally, chopping my arms off. Were it not for Gender Based Violence Rescue Centre (GBV-R) in Nairobi, I could not have survived to tell this story,” she say.
She was rushed to Kitui General Hospital but doctors were on strike and she lay on bed with little help for long hours, with her mother Mary Mbulungo by her side.
“I writhed in pain from fresh wounds in the arms and the right breast for two weeks until I asked God to take my life’,” recalls Martha.
Mary administered Martha with prescribed pain killers for two weeks.
Just when she was contemplating taking her daughter home to die, help came in the names of Christine Vethi of Kitui Girl Child project and Florence Ndeti Kitui Catholic Diocese’ Peace and Justice Department.
The women, in conjunction with the church, arranged for Martha to be transfered to Nairobi Women’s Hospital where she was admitted and treated with full support from the rescue centre for several weeks.
The suspect, Wilson Kyalo was subsequently charged with two counts of attempted murder and causing actual bodily harm to Martha. During the three years the trial lasted, Mary refused the accused’s relatives advances to have the case settled out of court or even to compel Wilson to marry her.
“God stood with me and the verdict showed that justice delayed is not always justice denied,” she says.
Kitui Principal Magistrate Esther Boke found the accused guilty of the two charges and sentenced the 23-year-old to a life sentence with 14 days to appeal.
“I knelt down, wept and thanked God for answering my prayers that the court imposes a heavy penalty on Wilson for chopping off both my arms and destroying my life. I have learned the hard way to write, eat, wash and do everything for myself so as to move on with life,” says Martha.
Later, she pleaded with her single mother to take her back to school after two years of mental anguish and pain.
Today, Martha is a Form Two student at Thika’s Joytown Secondary School for the Physically Handicapped and is learning how to live with permanent paralysis. She is presently preparing to go back to school to start her second term.

On Sunday (Jun 26), the First Cannabis Church of Logic & Reason in Lansing, Michigan held it’s first service where churchgoers are allowed to smoke marijuana during service.
Jeremy Hall, the founding minister of the church had this to say about this innovative new way of getting high while worshipping. He said,
What I’m hoping to accomplish in the long run is to provide a place where people can be spiritual, but can also feel safe to take any of their medication
The 34-year-old who who leads tthe service, told the Lansing State Journal,
If they also feel cannabis is part of their spirituality, they can combine the two in a safe environment.
Hall also said that the non-denominational church is “the first of its kind” in Michigan.
Hall feels marijuana can be part of a “religious experience,” of sorts. Saying,
It can help people in pain and create a sense of belonging. You are consuming something that is breaking down all these preconceived notions and barriers and provides an outpouring of love.
