A young single mother, Joanna Michael who has a comfortable job in the medical line is currently looking for a husband with her criteria lowered to accommodate any available man for marriage.
Her courage has been saluted by her friends on social media as wishes of good luck graced her Facebook page.
See how the drama played out:
Nigerians on social media were shocked with the news of an Igbo young man from Owerri, Imo State named Okoh Godwin voluntarily joining the Boko Haram sect which has been seeking to islamize Nigeria over the last 7 years.
The report was backed up with hard pictorial evidence of Godwin flaunting the traditional flag of the sect with an Islamic inscription coupled with a confessional video concerning his membership.
The disturbed Godwin has taken to a very popular online forum in Nigeria to reveal he was coerced into fronting himself as a Boko Haram terrorist in Borno State at gun point by a social media friend that promised to process his visa to the United States of America for a possible better life.
Read his response below:
“My name is Okoh Godwin. Sorry forgive my typing style. It all happened when a stranger added me on Facebook. We got to know each other, the’s guy names are Ayman Mills.
He told me he’s from the United States of America and I told him I would love to come to U.S. After our conversation, he introduced me to his mother who told me she is under this charity stuff that her son will help me with the visa. Ayman called me to come to Borno state to meet a friend who will help me with visa processing. These stuffs happened early last month.
I reached Borno state and he directed me to a hotel (Grand Pinnacles and Suite Hotel) where I waited for him for two days before showing up. There were up to four persons that came they took me to the back of the hotel on gunpoint. They gave me the writing to accept Islam and denounce my faith on gunpoint which I did. The guy collected my details on Facebook. I told them I forgot something on the park through which I ensured my escape when I was granted permission to leave.
I have to remake this video to clearify the stuff which is circulating.
Help me mod AM NOT A MUSLIM AND AM NOT A BOKO HARAM MEMBER..MY LIFE IS AT DENGER…IF YOU CAN TAKE IT DOWN. I WILL BE GREATFUL. This is my number 08038818436”
Okoh Godwin has made a counter-video to debunk the news. Watch it below:

New reports confirm that veteran actor Alex Usifo has bagged a PhD from Babcock University in Ogun State, and this comes days after the 63-year-old actor trended on social media because of his seeming absence from the movie scene, prompting conversation about him and what he has been up to.
According to this Naij report, Usifo achieved this new feat in education on Sunday, June 5.
Usifo ruled the screen with exceptional performances in series and films, including Ripples, The Return Of The Natives and Heaven’s Gate.
In 2011, Linda Ikeji Blog, reported that the veteran resumed work as a lecturer at Babcock University in Ogun State in 2011, where he taught the History & International Studies students. But it is unclear if he still is a staff of the private university.
Meanwhile, the actor who stars in mini-series, Dusk, where he plays a professor, is being congratulated by fans for the great feat.
Congrats to him, I want to be like him when I grow up…lol

Police investigating the possible murder of a toddler in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, last week say witness overheard a woman threatening to kill a boy of similar age several days before the body was found.
The yet to be unidentified toddler, who police estimate was about 2 years-old was found face dowm in a pond with strangulation wounds in Chroy Changva district’s Bak Khengon Friday morning, June 3.
Bun Kimly, a penal police officer from Bakheng commune where the boy was found, said staff at Phnom Penh Referral Hospital found bruises on the neck of the boy, whose parents have not come forward.
A joint task force has been set up by the National Police and the Child Protection Unit (CPU) to investigate the death. CPU director James McCabe said this is the first time since the NGO began operating that no parent or caregiver had come forward to claim a murdered child as their own.
McCabe said the boy was found wearing red, green, yellow and blue pyjamas with cartoon bears on them. He added that it is believed the murder took place on June 1, two days prior to the boy’s discovery by two neighbourhood children.
Penal police officer Kimly said witnesses reported seeing a mentally unstable woman who said she was from Kampot carrying the boy to the pond.
“If you won’t come to meet me and our son, I will kill the child.” the woman was heard yelling, Commune police chief Mean Thorn said.
The woman also told locals that she had travelled to Phnom Penh from Kampot province in search of her husband who she suspected of having an affair but left in a hurry when she could not locate him.
“I know my husband has a girlfriend in Bak Kheng. That’s why I came looking for him here, but I don’t know where he is staying.” the woman said, according to Thorn.

Boxing legend Muhammad Ali’s secret daughter on June 3rd, made a passionate plea to his family: “Let me see him one last time before he dies.”
Kiiursti Mensah Ali – who looks remarkably like the ex-world heavyweight champ – reveals she was the result of a 20-year affair her mum had with him in his heyday.
She claims a 1988 paternity test proves she is his child and that Ali agreed to having his name on her birth certificate.
Kiiursti, 33, also tells how the boxing star visited her and mum Barbara Mensah several times when she was little – and that she has become close to some of his other nine children.
But she says she was cut out of his life when he married his fourth wife Lonnie in 1986 – three years after he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease.
She told Daily Mirror:
“Muhammad Ali is my dad – but everything changed the moment he married her,” says Kiiursti.
“He stopped coming to see me. As the years went by he got sicker and sicker. She stopped him having a relationship with me. It’s been devastating.
“Now, I want to say goodbye to him before he dies. I want her to please let me have that chance. I’m not after his money. I don’t care about that. I make my own.
“All I want is to spend time with my father especially now he is so ill – but she has control of everything.”
And Kiiursti revealed she wants Ali to give her away when she weds. During our interview, she flicks through family photos showing her as a child with the fighter who became The Greatest in the 60s and 70s.
She reveals how her mum Barbara first met him when she was a 17-year-old high school beauty in Houston, Texas, in 1967.
Kiiursti says:
“Mom told me he spoke to her at her school. He was 22 and all the girls were approaching him, giving him the line, ‘I’m the greatest or I’m the prettiest’.
“But mom just stood in the crowd, arms folded. He noticed her and asked, ‘Don’t you know who I am? I’m the king of the world’.
“But she shrugged and said, ‘I don’t care. I’m the queen of the world’. It was a devastating blow to his ego. He made sure my mom was given his number.”
Kiiursti says Barbara, now 68, called him and was invited to a party – but arrived to find out there were just the two of them there.
At the time, Ali was still married to first wife Belinda Boyd but soon he and Barbara were swept up in an affair.
His secret love went to all his big fights including the Thriller in Manila against Joe Frazier, the Rumble in the Jungle versus George Foreman and a title defence in Puerto Rico in 1976.Barbara was even pictured in Life Magazine next to Ali for a special edition when he refused to go to Vietnam.
Kiiursti says:
“I think my mum still loves him to this day. She was the only one who stood up to him. He was the love of her life. At the time, the press knew they were together a lot, but they just didn’t know how close they had become.
“They never really stopped seeing each other ever, until Lonnie came along and made him cut ties with us.”
By the time Kiiursti was born, Ali already had eight children and an adopted ninth from three marriages and two other affairs. Kiiursti claims he never denied he was her father.
His name was put on her birth certificate and he managed to find time for her, despite his busy workload and hectic personal life.
She says Ali would secretly fly to Houston to see her and her mum…
“He saw me as a baby and a child,” she says. “I remember when I was three or four, he would come and stay at a hotel downtown.
Dad would spend time with my mom, then with me. We’d go to Showbiz Pizza and I’d have double cheese pizza. He’d put me on his shoulders.
“He was happy. I was happy. He’d pay mom maintenance when we saw him. He was a good father.
“The people in the hotels knew what we were doing. So did his entourage. His adviser knew, his assistant trainer knew – all of them knew. It was no big secret to them and he didn’t care.”
Then he married Lonnie Williams in 1986. Since then the Ali family has been at war. And she has a special reason for hoping her plea works soon.
She says:
“I’m just about to get married to a wonderful man and I would love my dad to meet him.
“I don’t care if he needs pushing down the aisle, I’d want him to give me away. That would make it perfect if dad was there. It would be wonderful.”
The world of fashion has really gone far in this 21st century though…. There are so many accessories in the fashion world you could use to help you look your best.
The man in the photo above is actually bald but thanks to a dread lock wig, he looks like one fly twenty year old OG, rather than he looking like a 40 year old without the wig!
Classic woman! Beautiful actress, Oge Okoye, looks like she could never go wrong while making a fashion statement as she donned this gorgeous blue outfit.
She looks like a smart business billionaire woman! *Winks*
One of the reasons why I feel she’d do this is probably because her kid asked her to! You know kids now, tey won’t let you rest till you do what they want.
The lady in the photo above can be seen shopping for sneakers while she had her daughter inside a transparent bag…

A 12-year-old boy has died after reportedly taking part in a dangerous online craze which cuts off oxygen to the brain. Karnel Haughton, from the Tyburn area of Birmingham, is believed to have lost consciousness and suffocated.
Karnel is thought to have been playing the ‘game‘ in his bedroom when he lost consciousness. He was discovered by his mum Gemma at around 9.45pm on Wednesday and died a short time later in hospital.
Police are treating his death as ‘unexplained’.
A warning to parents posted on Facebook by family friend Bee Bailey – who describes herself as Gemma’s best friend – has now been shared thousands of times- on Facebook.
She wrote:
“My best friend Gemma lost her son Karnel Haughton who was just 12 years old. It has been a massive shock to everyone and we are all absolutely devastated. He was a beautiful, popular, clever and outgoing lad and his friends have already paid some beautiful tributes towards him.The family have decided that it is time to make it clear exactly what happened and to help raise awareness of a new craze amongst youngsters which is becoming terrifyingly popular online.
“At first we did not know exactly what happened but some of Karnel’s friends have come forward and told the police and family about a game / craze that has become popular amongst youngsters on the Internet and social media called the choking game.
“It involves either putting your hands around your friends neck or tying something around your own neck to starve the brain of oxygen and pass out, inducing temporary euphoria.“It is so so so important that you talk to your children and make sure they know that one of many consequences of playing this game is sadly death.”

Ouch! Oouuch! Ooouuuch! Just as the saying goes, Pride goes before a fall! It looks like singer, Davido‘s pride and disrespect has let him fall deep into quite an embarrassing pit dug by Ovation publisher, Dele Momodu.
After the singer called him his boy, the billionaire shared throwback photos of himself and Davido trying to tell us who the boy really is between him and the singer.
The quite humourous photos shows Davido greeting the billionaire like a boy greeting his father and his fans actually swallowed the bait as it’s unarguable that he really looks like a boy.
Read Momodu’s statement in his Joy FM interview:
“I don’t think Davido will see me and say I’m his boy, I’m his father,” Momodu told the Ghanaian radio station last week, adding, “Why would I fight with my own child? I can’t fight him and now we are connected together through that baby.”
For the singer’s fans who really needed pictorial conviction, the publisher honored them these cute photos that speaks volumes.
Enjoy the photos as you see fan’s reactions to the photos! It’s hilarious!!
Ooouuuuch! once again!
The federal government had earlier ordered banks to put a hold on retrenchment of staff pending a stakeholders meeting on July 2. Despite this order, Skye Bank Plc on Monday sent 175 of its employees into the labour market.
The bank confirmed the development in a statement through which it explained that the affected workers failed the year 2015 appraisal exercise.
The statement read in part:
“The staff disengagement exercise is coming a year after the bank’s successful integration with the erstwhile Mainstreet Bank, which it acquired in October 2014; the integration exercise described by analysts as a landmark in Nigeria’s banking industry has significantly improved Skye Bank’s ICT capacity and helped strengthen the bank’s service delivery.
“The bank extended its appreciation to the affected staff for serving the bank, describing them as members of the family who will always be accorded deserving respect in their future dealings with the bank.”
Just last week, Ecobank sacked 1,200 and Diamond bank fired 200.
