Britain’s Most Tattooed Man In Hospital Awaiting Surgery Over Failed Tattoo

The most tattooed man in Britain may lose one of his arms after his body rejected a knuckle duster that was implanted in the limb.

More than 90% of his body is covered with more than 300 tattoos, including the whites of his eyes, which were dyed black.

"I live every minute of my life in fear,Save me from the cruel hands of my husband"-Woman Tell Court

                 

A 45-year-old beer parlour operator, Mrs Kudirat Sodiq, on Friday told an Igando Customary Court in Lagos that her husband always bites her whenever they quarrel.

She said that, Wahabi, her husband of 23 years, was also threatening her life.

“My husband left scars on my body as he always bites me whenever we fight.


“My husband will not leave me until he sees blood coming out from the wound, I have scars all over my body as proof of his abuse.”

The petitioner said that apart from the bites, her husband was also threatening her life.

“Wahabi is always threatening to kill me by suffocating me to death with a pillow.

“Because of his threat, I ran away from the house I built and relocated just to save my life.

“Last month, he came to my shop, saying that he will kill me, he smashed a beer bottle on the ground and wanted to stab me on my neck.

“I used my hand to dodge it and the bottle cut me on my right hand, blood was gushing out but for the quick intervention of neighbours who rushed me to the hospital, I could have died.”

The mother of four presented as exhibit recording of her husband’s alleged threat, and the picture of her injured hand.

The woman also accused Wahabi of attempting to appropriate her house.

“My husband wanted to sell my house, he approached land grabbers asking for the original document of my house.

“The people called me to know if I was the one that sent my husband to come for the document.

“My husband drinks to stupor and smokes Indian hemp, after which he usually loses self-control.”

She begged the court to dissolve the union, saying she was no longer in love with her husband.

“I live every minute of my life in fear. Save me from the cruel hands of my husband, I have suffered so much in silence.”

Wahabi, on the other hand, said that his wife was adulterous and having extra marital affairs.

“I caught my wife inside her shop with a man cutting his nail, immediately I entered the man quickly stood up and left,” he said.

The 47-year-old transporter said that he has stopped smoking weeds and drinking alcoholic for some weeks.

The respondent said that he never threatened to kill his wife but that he stabbed her by mistake.

He made a fervent plea to the court not to dissolve the marriage, claiming that he was still in love with his wife.

The president of the court, Mr Adegboyega Omilola adjourned the case till July 25, for judgment.

Massive Praise & Worship As Technology Distributions Shut Down Computer Village With "Praise Flame"

Otigba Street in the heart of Computer Village, Ikeja – Nigeria’s ICT and accessories hub – was transformed on Thursday June 1^st as Technology Distributions Limited, Sub-Saharan Africa’s biggest IT distributors, unleashed a heavyweight cast of Gospel artistes including Chioma Jesus, Joe Praise, Monique, Enkay, Chika 100%, Sammie Okposo and Big Bolaji, for a morning dose of divine worship, praise and outpouring of God’s blessings at the second edition of a market place evangelical initiative tagged Praise Flame.

                          

For many traders, patrons, representatives of Original Equipment Manufacturers and other members of the Computer Village ICT eco-system, the day will remain indelible in the memory.

By 8am, the stage set was already vibrating to the sound check from various upcoming artistes – a signal to the few who were still engaged in the clean-up exercise to hasten and round up the exercise.

                               

Monique was the first from the line-up of artistes to perform. Her appearance on stage brought the crowd closer to the stage barrier, setting the tone for what was to follow. Her performance was followed by Chika 100% who delivered with so much energy that charged the atmosphere. Next up was fast rising UK-based Nigerian Urban Contemporary Gospel artiste, Enkay who came on board with a soul-lifting rendition of her major works.

                           

Joe Praise was already rearing to go backstage before he was called upon to perform. Seemingly amazed at the huge ovation coming his way, the talented singer delivered a memorable performance after which he described Praise Flame as the best street concert he has ever featured in. Then came the performance of Sammie Okposo whose energetic approach, silky steps and repertoire of praise song kept the crowd agog, of course with the usual white handkerchief in tow. The ‘Wellu-Well’ crooner also took the opportunity to dedicate a birthday song with some words of prayers for Tim Tehila, CEO of Tehila Records and initiator of Praise Flame.

                                

Ibadan-based artiste, Big Bolaji also thrilled the crowd with powerful gospel messages and some comic relief. His songs warmly ushered in Chioma Jesus who has been highly anticipated. As usual, Chioma Jesus put-up an electric performance that took the crowd into a highly-spiritual level. The stage barriers were almost collapsed but the security guards were able to manage the pressure from the crowd. Chioma sang and prayed prophetically. She also made a special prayer for Joe Praise whose wedding is coming up in a few weeks.

                              

This second edition of Praise Flame was sponsored by Technology Distributions, with the Tehila Records crew on ground to support some of the artistes in what looked like a non-stop gospel performance. Other organizers are Adeniyi Olasoji, Chairman of Computer Village, Ikeja; Godfrey Nwosu, President of Phone Allied Products Dealers Association and Boniface Ania, President of Computer Allied Products Dealers Association
