Why on earth is my daughter moving like
@Sabinus1_
?? Lmfaooooo
He went on to say, She’s just two years old, we are still waiting for her to start talking. If the first she says is “How’s the family sir”, I go involve olopa

South African billionaire, Tony Sexwale, 69, tied the knots with his lovely girlfriend, Nataxa Da Silva, 24 over the weekend and photos from their ceremony were shared on the internet.
The age gap between the couple have however set tongues wagging on social media as many debate that their union seems more like a business transaction rather than a love-bound one.
Quite a couple of netizens have likened their situation to that of Nigerian couple, Prince Ned Nwoko and Regina Daniels as they talk on the age gap between the latest couple.
Sometime last year, the sexagenarian left a lot of people in absolute shock when his much younger girlfriend was revealed to the public.
Tokyo Sexwale was previously married for 20 years, to a Judy van Vuuren. They got divorced in 2014. A while after his divorce, he dated Nataxa da Silva which means she was only 16 years old when they started dating.
The couple have a son together and they have been together after Tokyo’s divorce.
American singer and rapper, Post Malone officiated a wedding between two of his female fans at a recent show he performed in.

The ladies stood facing each other, as the rapper demanded everyone’s attention and then he guided them through a few brief matrimonial steps with the crowd cheering in the front row.
After the couple exchanged their “I do’s”, Post gave them the green light for a kiss. Quite oddly, the rapper declared them wedded “in the eyes of space“, but that seemed to work just fine for all parties involved.
A man was captured on camera attacking a cleaner when he was caught in an intimate session with a woman inside a disabled toilet.
Ex-army aircraft mechanic Billy Dean Fallon, 28, was getting down with a woman when the cleaner knocked on the toilet door and so he rushed out of the cubicle to beat up the cleaner.
Fallon admitted assault occasioning bodily harm at Southport Magistrates Court in Queensland, Australia today, Monday, November 7, and was ordered to pay the victim $1,500.
The horrific incident occurred at Nightjar nightclub in Burleigh Heads in January this year.
CCTV played at the court shows the 28-year-old clubgoer rushing out of the disabled toilet cubicle without a shirt and throwing a flurry of punches at the cleaner, who had been knocking on the door for about three minutes.
A woman walked out from the cubicle holding two drinks while watching Fallon beating the cleaner at the other side of the toilet.
Fallon was pulled away by a security guard, who came in with other witnesses, before he reported the incident to the police.
Defending, lawyer Angus Edwards said Fallon was in the cubicle becoming intimate with his partner, adding: “They were in the midst of becoming intimate when someone started banging on the door.
“He acted impulsively, he acted protectively and he thought he was protecting himself and his partner.”
Magistrate Michelle Dooley said the attack on the cleaner was uncalled for as he was simply doing his job.
“This individual was engaged in his normal employment, was clearly unaffected by alcohol and just going about his normal duties as part of his job,” she continued.
Fallon was sentenced to 12 months in jail but was given immediate parole. He was ordered to pay the cleaner $1500 in compensation.
The Kano State Magistrate Court presided over by Aminu Muhammad Gabari on Monday, November 7, 2022, ordered 40 lashes in public be administered on two skit makers, Mubarak Isa Muhammad (Uniquepikin) and Nazifi Muhammad Bala for defaming the character of the state’s Governor on their Tiktok accounts.
The court as well, ordered the duo to sweep and wash the toilets of Nomansland Magistrates Court premises for 30 days.
“They will receive 20 lashes each, to be administered in the public. They should also sweep and wash the toilets of Justice Aloma Mukthar Court Complex in No-man’s-land,” the judge ruled.
The convicts had pleaded guilty to a two-count charge of defamation and inciting public disturbance slammed against them.
The First Information Report indicated that both TikTokers posted on their Tiktok account that Ganduje does not see a land without selling it and he sleep a lot.
Based on that, the prosecutor, Barrister Wada Ahmad Wada and Principal State Counsel, Kano State Ministry of Justice applied for a summary trial against the duo.
When the case resumed on Monday November 7, for judgement, Magistrate Gabari ordered the convicts to pay a fine of N10,000 each for defaming the character of Kano State Governor.
Magistrate Gabari also ordered them to pay another fine of N10,000 each for inciting public disturbance. He then similarly administered non-custodial terms against the convicts.
Consequently, he ordered the convicts to make a video on social media tendering an apology to Ganduje. The skit makers were taken to court after they were captured in a viral TikTok video calling out Ganduje.
In the video, they referred to Ganduje as a “corrupt politician” who sold every available plot of land in the state.
“This is a chapter that is talking about Ganduje. And who is this Ganduje? He is a husband to an influential woman and a father to an Arabian. And he is also from Kano state. The qualities of this Ganduje are as follows: He is a governor that loves to sleep,” they said.
“But he has become a suspect in the eyes of the people of Kano. To say a few of his qualities and talents, whenever he sees a piece of land in Kano he is definitely going to take his share. To explain this further, it is either he makes it available for sale or sells it off completely, but in the end, something questionable must occur.”

In related news, an Abuja-based woman has recounted how she had a growing baby in her womb for 32 weeks and had no idea.
The woman who recounted the experience on Twitter said she was wheeled into the hospital this time last year, thinking she had a severe liver problem, only to discover she was 32 weeks pregnant.
According to her, all along she showed no pregnancy symptoms and had no idea she was pregnant until she was told at the hospital that she was 32 weeks & 2 days pregnant.
She noted that she had no reason to suspect and when she was 5 months pregnant, she stumbled on a Twitter thread where women shared how they didn’t know they were pregnant until it had fully developed, and she thought it could never be her, not knowing she was pregnant already.
Recounting the experience, she wrote on Twitter,
“It was around this time, on this same day last year that I was wheeled into the hospital with my family thinking I had a severe liver problem, only to be told I was 32weeks & 2 days pregnant.
What’s worse? I stumbled on a thread of women telling similar stories like this around when I was 5 months & I said it could never be me. Little did I know it was Infact me. So all of you people quoting this should better check yourselves & be very much aware because ICIBY”.
A Nigerian woman identified as Debbie has shared the sad tale of how her friend’s brother married a swindler.
She claimed that after getting married earlier this year, the couple made plans to travel abroad.
To pay for their relocation, the man sold most of his properties but kept the money in her account. They agreed that the woman would fly to the United Kingdom first, followed by the husband.
Unfortunately, when she arrived in the UK, the woman, who obviously had other intentions, filed for divorce from her husband.
The man was confused by what she had done, so he informed his wife’s mother, who supported her daughter, and stated that she would not have approved of their relationship if she had known he was a mechanic.
See the post here:
”It’s really unfair.. a lady who got married to my friends brother early this year, don’t know what their agreement was (Husband & wife) but after the wedding, he sold most of his property so he & he wife could relocate to the UK, the whole money that was realized was kept in the Wife’s account, & they agreed she travelled First & the husband will join her later.
Madam got there & filed for divorce, not getting the point, husband called mother in-law & all she had to say was ” if I knew u were a mechanic I wouldn’t allow my daughter marry u..”

Unconditional love is very much alive in U.S let me come and be going..”

He used himself as a point of reference to urge his fans to never give up on their dreams.
His post on Twitter reads ;
I didn’t get into comedy until I was 27. I was homeless from 30 to 33. I lived in a car for three years. Don’t give up on your dreams People see me today, they don’t know where I come from. I tell young cats all the time, the key is you can’t ever give up…
I’m telling you, you have a great life in front of you, you just have to go see what it is but you got to understand the real deal: God’s plan for you is always better than your plan.
Your plan is off—is always slightly off—and until I realized that He started giving me everything he wanted me to have… That’s what flipped it for me; that’s how I finally met the right woman and got on the right track, and I quit doing a lot of stuff I was doing.

Fashion stylist, JekwuTheStylist has accused his ex-wife, Nikki Anyansi of exposing and educating their son to her LGTBQ lifestyle.
In 2018, Jekwu and Nikki welcomed their son. They allegedly separated due to Nicki’s sexual orientation.
Jekwu has now taken to his social media page to claim that Nicki’s lover lives in the same house as their son, and that their son shares a bed with his mother and her partner.
He warned his ex and her partner to keep his son out of their romantic relationships.
He wrote;
“Be gay on your own I honestly don’t care, infact if you prefer dogs or even horses
it doesn’t matter to me but when you try to inductrinate my 5yr old son in any manner or form
then we have a big problem I don’t care if you birthed him.
Took me a while to get here but I guess sometimes people or situations push far enough just to see how much you can take sometimes you have to do what you have to do even if it means going out of character.
Either or both of you should bring your defamation sue or whatever im ready now,
For some of you that know them or seen them you know what’s going on what you don’t know is that they’re literally living together sleeping on the same bed with our son. For months!!!
I’ve begged, I’ve asked, I’ve demanded and all parties involved. Just keep my son out of it. That’s all I asked for, you can do whatever you want. TBH it’s not like I’m the most decent guy.
I’m tired I’ve exhausted every other means
If you don’t know me you can say or think whatever you want but anyone that knows me knows this is the very last thing I wanna do
They have called me a deadbeat dad, a crazy ex, a cheat and a homophobic
no problem. I do not think I’m being unreasonable here with what I’m asking
I’m not gonna turn off comments I’m not afraid of anything y’all have to say to me or about me”

Sonia Ekweremadu, the daughter of former deputy Senate president, Ike Ekweremadu, appeared in a UK court today, November 7, to answer claims that she trafficked a homeless man into the country to harvest his organs for herself.
Recall that the lawmaker and his wife, Beatrice, were arrested in June this year and have been standing trial alongside their doctor, Obinna Obeta, for allegedly bringing in a 21-year-old man into the UK for a procedure where his kidney was to be harvested and transplanted to their daughter, who has kidney disease and has been on dialysis for some time.
In court today, the prosecutors told the court that the Ekweremadus and their doctor were arrested after the young man, who previously lived on the streets of Lagos, turned up at Staines police station, claiming he was a victim of trafficking.
Prosecutors claim David told police officers he had arrived in the UK on February 20 of this year and had been taken to the Royal Free Hospital for tests, none of which he consented to. After these tests, he said he had returned to the house he had been staying in, where he was “treated effectively as a slave.” Prosecutors claim he escaped the address and was homeless for three days before going to the police.
Ike Ekweremadu and his doctor are currently on remand in HMP Wandsworth and HMP Belmarsh, respectively. Ekweremadu’s wife, Beatrice, who was granted bail at a hearing in July, appeared in court today alongside their daughter, Sonia.
The Ekweremadus and Obeta will next appear at the Old Bailey on December 16 of this year, and a trial date has been set for January 31, 2023.

A baby who was born weighing less than a loaf of bread at just 535g has finally returned home after battling for her life in the hospital for five months.
The child was born on the 4th of March 2022 after her mother, Lauren Ormston, 27, went into premature labour at just 23 weeks at St Peter’s Hospital, Surrey, UK.
Due to the frailty of her condition, doctors informed Lauren and her fiance, Oliver Dewey, 31, that baby Isla had a 10% chance of survival as she was very small.
After she was born, she was rushed to the neonatal unit where she was later diagnosed with level two bleed on the brain and a hole in the heart.
The new mom, speaking on her experience said,
‘I started getting terrible stomach pains and I just thought the baby was moving around, but when the pain intensified, I knew something was wrong.’
‘They suggested getting transferred to a bigger hospital which would increase the chance to 30%.
‘It was terrifying.
‘But I had to take the chance, and I’m so glad I did.
‘The birth was easy, and I only had gas and air.
‘I could only cuddle Isla for six minutes before she was taken to a ventilator.
‘She looked so small and fragile, like she would snap at the slightest bit of movement.
‘I was so worried, but I knew my baby girl was a fighter.
‘Her skin was transparent, I could see every little vein within her body.
‘I lived each day, never knowing if she would make it, day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute.
‘After six weeks, she came off the ventilator but needed an oxygen mask over her face.
‘We had our first cuddle, and her little hand was barely the size of the tip of my husband’s pinky finger.’
Baby Isla spent five months in the hospital and was finally discharged on July 12th 2022 at 10lb 8oz.
However, she lost one of her eyes during an unsuccessful surgery but Lauren, the new mom, said losing an eye isn’t the worse thing that could have happened to Isla and she’s excited that her daughter survived despite the slim chances.

Politician, Dino Melaye, has demanded an apology from Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, after the latter lashed out at him at the presidential town hall meeting on Sunday night.
Obi tackled Dino, the spokesperson of the PDP presidential campaign council, at the meeting organized by Arise TV on Sunday night, November 6, when one of the attendees stood up to question Obi and someone from the crowd was heard saying, “Obi people, Na wah o.”
On hearing the words, Peter Obi took a swipe at Dino, accusing him of calling everybody “Obi people.” Read here.
Dino has now reacted to the outburst in a video he shared on social media, demanding an apology from the flagbearer of the Labour Party.
Dino, who maintained that he didn’t say anything that should have made Obi lash out at him in that manner, said his outburst is evidence that Obi is capable of physically assaulting his security detail if he becomes president.
According to Dino, a president should be someone who’s accommodating, patient, and relates well with people.
His words,
“I didn’t do anything, that outburst is unwarranted, very unpresidential, unacceptable of a leader. A leader must be mature, one who wants to govern this country must be accommodating, must have a lot of patience, must have perseverance, these are the basic characteristics of a leader anywhere in the world.”
Controversial online personality, Solomon Buchi has explained why Christians shouldn’t listen to worldly songs by artistes like Beyonce and Cardi B.
In a lengthy post shared on his Twitter page, Solomon Buchi said most secular songs have perverse, immoral and profane lyrics that Christians shouldn’t feed their ears with.
According to him, worldly songs permeate the minds of believers and prevent them from being spiritually alert.
Referencing the part of the Bible where an evil spirit left Saul when David was playing a musical instrument, Solomon asserted that it’s possible to attract demons and spirits through songs so it’s better for Christians to desist from worldly songs.
Read his full post below,
“Christian, there are many famous musicians you must not listen to. Beyoncé is one of them, Cardi B, and others. Beyoncé’s music has occasional outbursts of profanity against the Bible. One of her lyrics reads: “I plugged my menses with pages from the holy book.” This is SATANISM.
Many of her songs illustrate impiety and promote symbols that represent spiritual murkiness. This might be considered slanderous to some of you that tenaciously stan her, however, as Christians, we don’t stan people because they are popular, we stan Godly representation,
She and her compeers promote an overtly sensual and vainly lustrous perception of womanhood. Is she talented? Yes! Is she a good performer? Yes! But talent doesn’t equal godliness and worldly excellence doesn’t justify God’s presence.
It is same with Christians who listen to Nicki Minaj, and the rest who constantly talk about their privates. Really amoral lyrics. WAP. Why should a Christian listen to songs like this? What exactly does it do to your mind?
They may have trendy beat and irresistible melodies, but they are created to masturbate your mind away from spiritual alertness. I am a musician, I play the guitar and I can tell you for free that music is powerful! Highly powerful. David played the harp and demons left Saul.
If it’s possible to chase away demons through music, isn’t it logically consistent to assume that it’s possible to attract certain demons and spirits through music? With our lukewarm Theo-cultural sensitivity, this might seem like a weak take.
Have you ever wondered why it is easy to legit memorize the lyrics of a song than to read a book? Music, they say, is the language of the soul. Music can make you enjoy words you would abhor if they were merely spoken to you. Melodies make you enjoy what you should spit out.
As an audiophile and deeply musically inclined person, I appreciate a wide range of musical ingenuity, but I had to cut off many. There are songs that just come with a sense of depression. Why should you listen to songs that create a mood that’s against your wellness ?
Have you ever listened to songs that made you feel what you had never experienced? That’s the potency of carefully crafted lyrics and melodic doodles. Every song that kicks you into a mind-sphere that’s anti biblical values should be avoided.
For some Christians, the impediment to the renewal of your mind is the songs you listen to. It’s impossible to desire chastity and be listening to songs that promote lust and provoking lyrics. You can’t, my friends. Music doesn’t need so much of your permission, it permeates.
If you desire spiritual growth, you should definitely stop listening to a lot of songs. If they promote nudity, immoral attitudes, and godlessness, avoid them. Avoid them. No.
I’m not asking you to cancel any musician. Nobody is beyond redemption, however, as a Christian, you must say NO to many things everyone have no problem with. This conversation is not a matter of it being a sin or NOT. It’s a matter of focusing on things that are pure.”
US-based Nigerian businesswoman, Sandra Iheuwa has opined that true love is dead in Nigeria because people are only looking for who to use.
The mother of four, in a post shared on her Instastories, said unconditional love does not exist in Nigeria because people are only in it for their personal gain.

Unconditional love is very much alive in US. let me come and be going.”

“Can someone kindly help me check if Otedola’s son is old enough to get married? Have you seen what’s going on? Have you seen the yacht they are on? The yacht is so beautiful, you know when you don’t have to worry about what is going on in your country, you can be anywhere in the world you want to be. I don’t care if that boy is a child with special needs, I’m a girl with special needs as well, so he will scratch my back and I will scratch his. Help me call Femi on the line that I’m ready to get married to his son.”
The Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who was noticeably absent at the presidential town hall meeting last night, was spotted at a birthday party held close to the venue.
It would be recalled that the town hall meeting hosted by Arise TV was held on Sunday night, November 6, in Abuja ahead of the forthcoming general election in February 2023.
However, only three presidential aspirants were physically present at the meeting including Labour Party’s Peter Obi, NNPP’s Rabiu Kwankwaso and PRP’s Kola Abiola, while PDP’s Atiku Abubakar was represented by his running mate, Ifeanyi Okowa.
Shortly after the meeting began and people started asking about Tinubu’s whereabout, a video of him at a birthday party surfaced online.
The birthday party was that of his associate, retired colonel Sani Bello, held about eight minutes drive from the venue of the presidential town hall meeting.
Amid the brouhaha caused by his absence, his spokesperson, Festus Keyamo, released an official statement where he said Tinubu can’t attend all events because he has a tight schedule.
Read the full statement below,
“Firstly, many radio and TV networks in Nigeria have indicated interests to host such debates and out of deference to other TV and radio stations, our candidate will not be making selective appearances in some networks, whilst ignoring others.
As President of Nigeria, by the Special Grace of God, he intends to treat all persons and businesses fairly and equally.
Secondly, the busy and hectic campaign schedules of Asiwaju Tinubu will not permit him to honour all such invitations by different radio and TV networks, hence our decision for him not to start with one TV station and later ignore others.
Thirdly, our candidate had long before now realised the importance of speaking directly to Nigerians and shortly after unfolding his Action Plan as President embarked on Town Hall meetings beginning with his interaction with the Business Community and other stakeholders in Kano followed by the Town Hall meeting and presentation by experts last week in Lagos. Tomorrow, he will be interacting with Agro and Commodity Groups in Minna, Niger State.”

Speaking further, Mama Rainbow said after she gave in and went to the place with her son, he was the one who dragged her out after they disclosed the price she has to pay to become rich.
“I agreed and he took me somewhere, but before God and man, when I got there and they told me the requirements, I was shocked. They said it was the child I loved the most that would be used for sacrifice.
“I told the person that it was the child I loved most that brought me to the place. At that point, my son held my hand and said it was time to go home,” she added.
