She had a beautiful Paris fairytale wedding in 2012 to Linus Idahosa, which was boastfully the most talked about wedding that year.
Stephanie Okereke Linus got pregnant this year, 2015 and revealed after she graced Genevieve magazine an interview, the reason why she waited that long.
She said:
“Waiting this long to have a baby is a personal choice and God ultimately decides. You have to be ready mentally and physically. I had a lot of films I was shooting and I was travelling a lot too. My movie is out now and I cannot even promote it across Africa like I wanted to do because I am stuck in one place.
“It’s also God’s timing. Neither my husband nor I were pressured. I feel this is the right time for it to happen. Right after we got married, I was on set shooting. But this year was different. It’s the perfect year for me to year to get pregnant,”
On Tuesday, 11th of August, 2015, President Muhammadu Buhari stated that, “in a matter of weeks”, the Federal Government will begin the trial of persons alleged to have stolen from the national coffers.
The President spoke while addressing members of the National Peace Committee, led by a former military Head of State, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar, in the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
According to a statement by Buhari’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, the president was quoted as telling Abubakar and members of his committee that his administration that…
“Those who have stolen the national wealth will be in court in a matter of weeks and Nigerians will know those who have short-changed them,” Nigeria has to break this vicious cycle before we can make progress,” “We have really degenerated as a country. Our national institutions, including the military, which did wonderfully on foreign missions in the past, have been compromised. But we are doing something about it. The military is now retraining and morale has been resuscitated.
“As petroleum minister under Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo in the 1970s, I could not travel abroad until I had taken a memo to the Federal Executive Council, asking for estacode. Now, everybody does what he wants.
“That is why security-wise and economically, we’re in trouble.”
But the committee, which Buhari has transformed into the National Peace Council, also told the President to remember that Nigeria was no longer under military rule and that he should follow due process in the trial of suspected looters.
Abubakar and members of his committee urged the Federal Government to be guided by the rule of law in its fight against corruption.
A member of the committee, who is also the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto, Bishop Matthew Kukah, spoke with State House correspondents at the end of the closed-door meeting with the President.
“It (the way corruption war is being fought) is not heating up the polity.“In our conversation with (ex) President Goodluck Jonathan and members of the parties, I don’t think any Nigerian is in favour of corruption or is against the President’s commitment to ensuring that we turn a new leaf.“I think what we are concerned about is the process. It is no longer a military regime and under our existing laws, everybody is innocent until proven guilty.
“Again, our own commitment is not to intimidate or fight anybody. The former President’s commitment and what he did still remains spectacular and I think that President Buhari himself appreciates that.“So, our effort really is to make sure that the right thing is done.”
Jonathan had reportedly complained to the committee over alleged victimization of his aides by the incumbent administration in its anti-corruption crusade.
Kukah confirmed that members of the committee had met with Jonathan after meeting with some political parties.
He claimed the meeting with Buhari was not at Jonathan’s instance, saying the parley was a continuation of a series of intervention aimed at getting feedback from the conduct of the last elections.
He said,
“Anybody is free to come to our committee but President Jonathan never by telephone or other means talked to the committee.“We went to see him, but that is after we had already seen members of the political parties and members of the civil society.“We planned to see the Speaker (of the House of Representatives) because we couldn’t see him yesterday.“This is a much-planned series of intervention, essentially just to hear out everybody and I think the good news is that Nigerians are committed to a new nation, they are committed to ensuring that the gains and blessings God has given us come to fruition.”
Kukah said the meeting with the President was neither an intervention nor a hearing session.
Outrage has erupted in India after the arrest of dozens of couples at a number of hotels in Mumbai last week because they were allegedly unmarried.
Over 40 couples were dragged out of their hotel rooms and were reportedly taken to a nearby police station where they were held for several hours and some were even forced to call their parents.
Witnesses claim that the police knocked on the doors to the hotel rooms during the Thursday afternoon raid, and arrested all couples found to be unmarried.
In spite of the fact that were lodged in private hotel rooms, the couples were charged with ‘indecent behaviour in public‘ and made to pay a fine of 1,200 rupees (£12).
A witness told Mid-Day.com:
The police first insulted all of us in front of all the officers and the other couples and then forced us to call our parents and insulted and disgraced us in front of them,”.They also made the parents feel guilty as if their children had committed some heinous crime.’
He also stated that they were taken to the police station around 05:00pm and many of them were allowed to go only by 10:00pm.
A number of angry Mumbai citizens took to Twitter to express their feelings, using the hashtag #MumbaiPolice.
According to Chilean daily La Nacion, Campbell is not prepared to leave Arsenal on another loan spell; rather, he wants a move away on a permanent basis.
Joel Campbell doesn’t seem to have any future with the North London club. Last season he was sent on loan to Villarreal and this summer the club is actively looking to sell him.
Campbell’s agent has reportedly said that although the winger is currently staying in London, but the Costa Rica international is open to move.
Last season he made 22 appearances for Villarreal but it won’t make any difference to his situation at Arsenal, as he is unlikely to feature for the Gunners this term.

United have been heavily linked with a move for the player, who scored the winner in Barcelona’s 5-4 win over Sevilla in the European Super Cup.

According to French newspaper, Chelsea have been strongly linked with PSG for defender Gregory van der Wiel. It’s claimed that Chelsea are one of a number of clubs, including Manchester United, who have wanted to sign the player.
The Dutch international has more than 40 caps for his country, and Le Parisien claims that Chelsea wanted him to slot straight into their first team.
The idea is to replace Branislav Ivanovic who had a poor start to the season against Swansea City. However, the Serbian could probably rightly claim that he’s been the better of the two players over the past couple years, and it was considered PSG wanted to sell.
The newspaper says Chelsea have made an approach to try and sign the defender but the Ligue 1 champion don’t want to sell.

In the new arrangement, all ATMs that were enabled for domestic and foreign transactions have been restructured to limit Naira cash withdrawal at ATMs from N150,000 per day to N60,000 per day while foreign currency is $300 per day.
The new arrangement has separated traditional ATM from MasterCard credit card where the former has now been deactivated and can no longer be used for transactions abroad.
Henceforth, a single ATM card serves for transactions for both domestic and abroad.
Also, the restructured cards now have spending limits on POS/eCommerce (online shopping) at $300 (about N60,000) per day. Before this, the limit was N2 million per day.
In a communication to the customers, the bank explained:
“In view of the increased difficulty in sourcing foreign currency to settle international transactions on Naira MasterCards, we have reduced the daily international spending limit on your Naira MasterCard to $300.This means that you can only spend up to $300 daily when using your Naira MasterCard for international payments via POS and online.
“You will, however, continue to have the option of paying for medical bills, school fees, mortgages and credit cards using Form A, as these are eligible transactions for foreign currency. Simply visit any GTBank branch to complete a Form A along with the required documents to make these payments.”
These developments came on the heels of Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) statement on Sunday that all legitimate requests for foreign currency for eligible transactions, normally referred to as “invisibles,” such as remittances for school fees, student maintenance allowances, BTA, PTA, medical and other eligible transactions, shall be fully met at the official/interbank exchange rate.
A statement from the CBN added:
“The CBN hereby directs all authorised dealers in foreign exchange in Nigeria to henceforth treat as top priority all legitimate demand for foreign exchange for eligible transactions.
“The CBN once again advises individuals that wish to source foreign currency for such eligible transactions to approach their banks with their legitimate demand as the CBN has made adequate provisions of foreign currency for all such legitimate and eligible purposes.
“Furthermore, holders of Naira denominated debit and credit cards shall continue to have access to the use of their cards at ATMs in any part of the world but subject to the annual limit of $50,000. ATM withdraws shall continue to be a maximum of $300 per day.”

“You should snoop. People have found out that their houses are on fire; people have found out that they are married to other women’s husbands. I am a proud snooper and this is my advice for you, I am a proud snooper; this is me.
When you snoop your boyfriend or your husband, it is like you are stealing from the pot. But what else should we do? It is better women find out in the hard way. If you do not check, you will not know.
It gives you opportunity to know, the kind of relationship you are into. Checking has saved lives, and I would rather have my life saved.
Some men are gold-diggers. If the lady you are with is not good for you, leave her and look for another one. The earlier women know the better for them.
It is funny how God uses even the most unbelievable things to bless you. I have been given a voice, a platform but I woke up one day and I found God, and with that came purpose. It is never about you.
Sometimes you go through things not for you but for the people around you who need direction. It is tough being a woman, the pressure is real.
You don’t have to be a victim; you can rise above it all. Do not let the society tell you otherwise. Be bold, be strong.”
Rita rocked on all red look, giving her a girlish glow. She wore a red ‘to the ground’ dress and completed the matchy look with a lovely pink manicure and pink lipstick.
According to a report by Leadership Newspaper, The General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor E.A. Adeboye, stated that he is ‘Richer Than Bill Gates,’ while speaking about his spiritual endowment.
Teaching the worshipers in the mission during the church’s 63rd Annual Convention on Saturday shortly before the Holy Communion Service on the topic; ‘Overflowing Cup,’ Pastor Adeboye said that if Bill Gates needed shoes, he would have to go to the market to buy them, but that if he should announce that he needs shoes at the Redemption Camp, where the convention took place, the auditorium might not contain the shoes people would donate to him.
“I have houses in at least 188 countries of the world, where we have our churches, so I am richer than Bill Gates. Each time I visit these countries, my children would be struggling and saying ‘daddy, come and stay with me.’
If I announce here that tomorrow morning, I need a car to travel to the new auditorium, how many cars do you think would be made available to me by you my children? Those of you that do not have a car of your own, very soon, God will give you your own cars. So, I am appealing to you to become an incurable soul winner before you leave this convention ground and your cup will overflow,” Adeboye said.
From The quotes, The Houses he Has meant RCCG is stationed in at least 188 countries of the world, and the quote ‘Richer Than Bill Gates’ isn’t referring to his personal net worth but in the context of the church’s growth and development all over the world.
