Court Dissolves 18 Year Old Marriage Over Telephone Battery Removal

A burst up between a couple, Alade Muniru and his wife Sadiat, over the removal of a telephone battery has resulted to the collapse of their 18-year-old marriage. 

Sadiat had approached the Ogungun Customary Court at Agodi in Ibadan, seeking the dissolution of the marriage, explaining that her husband had turned her into a punching bag.

In her testimony before the court on Friday, the plaintiff narrated how her sweetheart of 18 years had beaten her mercilessly on New Year Day for tampering with his telephone battery.


 “Although he used to beat me at least twice a week but that of the first day in the New Year was beyond what I can bear.

“I have four children for him and he rarely caters for me and the kids, despite my total submission to him as the head of the family.

 “I, therefore, pray the court to separate us as his parents too are not helping matters, due to the support given to him whenever I reported to them about his bad attitude,” Sadiat said.

The husband admitted the allegation, pleading with court to grant the divorce, saying that he was equally not interested in the marriage anymore.

 Alade, a battery charger, described his wife as a deviant, who hardly obeyed his instructions.

He said that Sadiat had been warned several times not to touch his phone battery “because customers would not be able to reach me whenever my handset battery is down.

“ I do not joke with my job and I prefer allowing her to go than doing what will affect my job negatively, so the court should as a matter of urgency grant the dissolution,” Muniru stated.

 The president of the court, Chief Mukaila Balogun, wasted no time in dissolving the marriage since both parties had agreed to part ways.

Balogun, however, directed the defendant to take two of the children in his custody while the plaintiff should take care of the other two kids.

He ordered the defendant to be paying N6, 000 as monthly allowance for the two kids in the custody of the plaintiff.

Alicia Keys tells Parents to let boys have painted nails

Alicia Keys recently had a discussion with American women's beauty magazine, Allure Magazine about how women and men are viewed in this society. She claims that women are often made to feel insecure in this society and young men are told not to have feelings.
“I was so sick of the way women were forced to feel inadequate in many different circumstances or forced to feel insecure by the way we’re portrayed or the way we look,” Keys says of the inspiration behind her new album Here.

As a mom to two boys with husband Swizz Beatz — Genesis Ali, 2, and Egypt Daoud, 6 — the other side of the coin is important to touch on, as well.

“I am so annoyed at the way we force boys to be fake strong — don’t cry, don’t be soft. Let a boy be able to dance!” she says. “Let a boy paint his nails. So a boy wants to paint his nails. Who cares! All these strange, oppressive ideas.”

Thousands Of Biafra Supporters March Through Port Harcourt-Aba Expressway In Solidarity For Trump

Thousands of Biafra supporters on Friday defiled the order by the Rivers State Police Command not to stage any solidarity march for the new American president, Donald Trump, in Port Harcourt, Pm News reports.

Some of the marchers who came from the commercial city of Aba in Abia State were joined by their Rivers State counterparts.

They marched through the busy Port Harcourt-Aba Expressway where they overpowered policemen who mounted a blockade. As they marched along the busy road, they caused serious traffic jam.

They were carrying flags of the Indigenous People of Biafra, the USA flag and photographs of Donald Trump.


The population of the demonstrators increased as they approached First and Second Artillery Junctions. They were also joined by members of the Ikokwu Motor Spare parts Dealers Association.

However, they met a tough resistance from soldiers drawn from the 6 Division of the Nigerian Army at the Garrison Junction along Aba road who dispersed them by firing shots into the air.

The marchers scampered for safety and dispersed.

One of the IPOB members, Nnaana Okoye, who sustained injury when they were dispersed said: “We are demonstrating for the new American President, Donald Trump because he loves Biafra and he would force President Buhari to set free our leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

“We are optimistic that Trump will support the people of Biafra to achieve their dream of being on our own as a republic.”

It was not clear if arrests were made as at the time of filing this report.

Women try to seduce me but I love my wife – Actor Saka

It's not easy for a Naija entertainer to go through a year without getting his/her fingers burnt in one way or another. Popular comic actor and MTN ambassador, Hafeez Oyetoro, aka Saka, has every reason to be grateful to God.

He said his biggest triumph in the past year was his ability to overcome temptation from some of his numerous female admirers, especially now that he has money.

Speaking with Punch, Saka said, “If you are a celebrity, women will always come to you. Most of the time, their intention is to seduce you. Well, in 2016, some of them tried to seduce me and to make me do certain things that I had sworn never to do when I got married. But, I thank God that I was able to resist them. It was not by my power; God gave me the grace to resist them,” he said.

The actor almost swore that he had never had an extra-marital affair since he got married. “Why should I? My wife is young and very pretty. Besides, it is not in my character to be chasing women around.”

Designer Slam Mercy Aigbe for Giving credit to another designer for a job she did

Designer, Phoonmy Afrika took to her Instagram to call out actress, Mercy Aigbe for showing off a dress she made for her and tagging another designer...

Read what she wrote after the cut...

"As someone who had worked behind the camera in the Nigerian Entertainment Industry popularly called Nollywood and now a Fashion Designer,  I picked an interest in two Nollywood Stars @mercyaigbegentry and @jumokeodetola for two different reasons but as the Yoruba adage says: Isunmoni la nmo ise eni. On a closer look you get to know that these people are not what they portrayed. Jumoke Odetola in her case lived up to standard as we approached her to flaunt one of our designs on social media, she responsibly did as agreed an even advertised our company to a few friends while Mercy Aigbe on the other hand collected the sewn garment, wore it to occasions, flaunted it on IG and refused to tag our Company which was the gentleman agreement we had. The problem here is not the fact that Mercy did tag us but her mannerisms when we approached her. Mercy slyly responded well to our chat saying she would do a 'rerock' and tag us but immediately blocked our comments on our post then blocked us on instagram. We put a call through to Jumoke who acted as our link to Mercy tried to pacify the situation but another conversation with Jumoke's manager spurred our anger. According to Mr Abiodun Jimoh @abeyjomo, on telling Mercy Aigbe that she shouldn't have worn the clothes since she knew she wouldn't give the Company that gave her the garment the credit, Mercy had replied that she has worn it and there's nothing anyone can do about it. When we sent a message through Mr Jimoh that we would like to have our garment back. Mercy said it they can come and pick it, she later said No! She would not give it back. The big questions are? Did Mercy believe we gave her our clothe as Charity? Is she from a motherless baby's home? Does she feel so untouchable because she is a cheap star that she is? Does she by anyway know with whom she is dealing with? Things are about to get messy with Mercy and she should be ready for us because if we have to rip our clothes off her skin, we will... just to have it back."

Lady tries to kill boyfriend and burns down his house after he broke up with her

According to Facebook user, Victor Ibeh who shared the photos, a lady attempted to murder her boyfriend after he ended the relationship and when she didn't succeed, she set his four bedroom apartment on fire. Luckily for the man, his neighbors put out the fire on time. He wrote;

This was how my friend ended his 2016. You meet a woman, you start dating, you offer her shelter, fed her, clothed her and other things. In the process of that relationship, it occurs to you that she has character flaws that she isn't willing to work on and she feels entitled that you must date her the way she is.

You break off the relationship and she becomes murderous. Makes an attempt on your life. When she didn't succeed, she decides that arson is the way out.
 But for the goodness of neighbors a four bedroom apartment would have be burnt down. Few weeks after, she is back pleading and expecting a makeup. How possible can that be? Who walks back into the lion's den after an escape? Is this the same person that you would have ended up with in marriage?
 Why does this sound familiar? I have been there before. I have had an experience close to this. When I tell you that evil is not gender specific, please believe me. We have seen a lot. It's a good thing that my friend survived this.

2 teachers paraded for showing a 6-year-old pupil pornography and defiling her afterwards

Two private school teachers, Stanley Akanno and Olakunle Hassan, in Amuwo Odofin, were yesterday paraded by Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Zone 2, AIG Kayode Aderanti, for serially defiling their 6-year-old female pupil.

“The pupil has been taken to a government hospital where it was medically established that she had been deflowered. The suspects will soon be charged to court,” Aderanti said.

They were arrested following suspicion by the girl’s mother that her daughter has suddenly become sexually active. The girl’s mother, while narrating how the daughter was defiled, said: “I noticed that my daughter was kissing his brother’s penis.

I called her and interrogated her where she learnt the behaviour and she told me that her lesson teacher plays erotic films on his laptop and forced her to watch it. She added that the teacher will then defile her. We reported the case to the police and from the investigation, it showed that she was defiled.

After lots of people talked about the photo being photoshopped because Laura is allegedly pregnant, Kemi Olunloyo has also come out to critique the photo.

She shared the photo and wrote;

"#HNNLove Congrats to #LauraIkeji on getting married. However many ppl have asked me to critique this picture as a #socialcritic. The photo is retouched. That is not her hand. Too bony, people say she's hiding a baby bump. Registry marriages usually mean you are either pregnant or poor. For Laura Ikeji and a brother of a footballer? What happened to your double wedding shit in #Nigeria? Traditional and white. So what if she's preggo? Bout time one of those gals gave their mom a grandchild. One thing very wrong in this picture is the Ogbonna Kanu dude's hair. Its disgusting. He has a receding hairline those braids are pulling back and moving steadily. He will have that #rihanna forehead full blown soon coupled with being bald. His braiding person should be shot at the firing squad. He looks messy! Total rating for the loud money hungry Ikeji girls, Linda could have gifted her a more decent wedding dress . For crying out loud, Laura calls herself #FashionBlogger of 2016... in what country??? #hnnstyle"

Drug Lord El Chapo Arrives In New York After Being Extradited From Mexico

Drug lord El Chapo has arrived in New York after being extradited from Mexico.

The infamous cartel boss, whose real name in Joaquin Guzman, was seen being led into an aircraft hangar in Ronkonkoma, Long Island, on Thursday night.

The 59-year-old appeared clean shaven in a beige jacket as he was flanked by guards.


The Mexican drug baron faced two extradition bids, one in California for drug distribution and another in Texas on charges that include murder and money laundering.

Approving the extradition in May, Mexico’s foreign ministry said in a statement that the US government had given ‘enough guarantees that the death penalty will not be applied’.

But his legal team had hoped to stop his extradition, with his attorney Andres Granados filing papers to the courts in Mexico City.

It had been believed it could take six months to issue its ruling, before a likely appeal to the Supreme Court.

The S The fugitive was caught after a fierce gun battle in Los Mochis, a city in northern Sinaloa, during which five of his men were killed.

He was one of six people arrested after a four-hour operation.

Mexican marines who led the mission came under heavy gunfire after cornering the gang in a house in the city.

Six months earlier he disappeared through a 2ft wide hole in descending some 32 feet down a ladder from the Altiplano prison - 55 miles west of Mexico City .

The tunnel, which took a year to dig and was estimated to have cost £4million, was found equipped with ventilation ducts, running electricity to power strip lighting and stairs.
