The Truth About George Clooney & Amal £400m Divorce

Their four-year marriage is considered to be one of the most stable in showbiz. But yesterday, sensational reports claimed that George and Amal Clooney are on the rocks.

According to US gossip side Radar Online, Amal has fled with their twins to the couples' new home in Sardinia after an alleged row - leaving George to 'bombard' her with texts and calls to 'see the twins'.

“He wanted them to enjoy the new property together, but after an explosive argument she ran off there with Alexander and Ella,” the report claimed.

“She’s told him if he comes, he’ll have to stay in the guest house!” However, George has shot down the report, telling Hollywood Life, “The story is made up."


The pair certainly seemed happy enough when George and his parents Nick and Nina supported Amal at the 23rd Annual United Nations Correspondents Associations Awards in New York on December 6

Lawyer Confessed To Killing Husband, Police Tell Court

An Assistant Superintendent of Police, Olusegun Bamidele, on Wednesday, told a Lagos State High Court in Igbosere that a lawyer, Udeme Otike-Odibi, who was accused of killing her husband, had confessed to the crime.

Forty-eight-year-old Udeme is standing trial for allegedly stabbing her husband, Symphorosa Otike-Odibi, to death at their residence on Diamond Estate, Sangotedo, Lagos State.

Punch Metro had reported that Udeme was also alleged to have mutilated the corpse of her husband after killing him.

The offences were said to contravene sections 165 (b) and 223 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.

At Wednesday’s proceedings, Bamidele, the final prosecution witness, while being led in evidence by the Lagos State Director of Public Prosecutions, Titilayo Shitta-Bay, said he was the head of the team that investigated the killing and that he personally recorded the defendant’s statement.

He noted that the second time he met Udeme, she was in protective custody at a police hospital in Ikeja after she had been moved from the Safeway Hospital in Lekki, adding that it was during an interactive session at the hospital that Udeme wrote a detailed confessional statement.

He said the defendant was recuperating from what one of the doctors attending to her described as “superficial and self-inflicted wounds,” adding that she spoke freely after identifying herself as a lawyer.

Bamidele stated, “While she was writing her statement, it was an interactive session. I put questions to her; she would explain the answers to me and put them down in writing. She stated in her statement that she was married to the late Symphorosa and that they had marital issues.

“She stated that the deceased was having extramarital affairs and that whenever she raised the issue with him, his responses were not satisfactory and he appeared nonchalant. She also said in the statement that on May 2, 2018, when she was preparing to travel to the United Kingdom, she checked the bedside locker for her marriage certificate but she could not find it and when she went to the deceased on the bed and asked him about it, there was no response.

“She had a discussion with him and there was a hot exchange of words, which made her to go to the kitchen and get a frying pan and knife. When she returned to where the deceased was, she hit him on the head with the frying pan and said: ‘Tell me, what is in your mind that you are withholding.’

“She stated that the deceased called his mother to report her conduct. She continued to hit the deceased on the head again and again. Finally, she confirmed that she used the knife to stab the deceased in his abdomen.

“She also said that while the deceased was lying on his back, she was still angry. She sat beside him, looking at his intestines coming out and said: ‘If this your penis is the one that is giving you the licence not to have the feeling for another person, it’s better we cut it off,’ and she proceeded to do so with the same knife she used in stabbing him, and hung a piece of the penis in his right hand.”

Bamidele further told the court that after the incident, Udeme sent her close friend, Maureen Offor, a WhatsApp message which read: “I have done something terrible.”

He added that further investigation showed that she sent two other WhatsApp messages to the husband of the deceased’s younger sister, Charles Akpoguma, which read: “Just pray for us. May God forgive,” and to her mother in Calabar the same night, stating, “Sorry mum, we engaged in a fight.”

Shitta-Bay also tendered through Bamidele several exhibits recovered from the defendant.

The exhibits included a big shiny frying pan allegedly used by the defendant on the deceased; a blood-covered kitchen knife allegedly used in killing Symphorosa; a bloodstained pen; four phones, two of which were bloodstained; and Udeme’s Nigerian and British passports.

When Shitta-Bay sought to tender the two statements allegedly made to the police by Udeme, her counsel, Olusegun Banjoko, opposed her.

, after showing the statements to his client, prayed the court not to admit them, on the grounds that they were made without her lawyer being present as required by law.

Justice Akintoye adjourned the matter till February 25 to consider the admissibility of the statements in a trial within trial.

Zimbabwe pastor accused of sleeping with church members

A young pastor accused of sleeping with church members, has reportedly dumped them and opted for a different woman to spend the rest of his life with.

The Marondera based Prophet in Zimbabwe, Wonderful Moyo, popularly known as Mystic One of Christ Zone Believers Chapel Church – is also accused of using church members to finance his bride price, H-Metro reports.

The members he has lost cited various reasons against the clergyman’s conduct.

The pastor is reported to have bedded two of his congregants and their affairs became the talk among the congregation forcing Prophet Moyo to dump them and proceeded to marry an outsider.

Prophet Moyo denied the allegations saying the church members left because of their own reasons.

“Our prophet fooled himself by thinking that his calling was going to be effective by marrying,” said the source. “He forced another woman who was leading her own ministry to join him and promised to marry her so as to be effective but this failed to bear fruits.

“Prophet Moyo widened his sexual eyes and proposed to another woman and it became the talk of church and smeared his preaching and this forced him to dump the two. “Church is not an organisation but an organism so Prophet Moyo took church for granted and started forcing leaders to collect money to help him pay bride price and this is what forced many to leave the church,” revealed the source.

One of the female victims he bedded confirmed dating the man of cloth saying Prophet Moyo dampened her spirit by his actions.

“I have since left the church and Prophet Moyo is now married to someone vanhu ngavachisiyana neni,” she said. “It is true that I fell in love with Prophet Moyo and he forced me to leave my ministry and join his while promising marriage as well. “He was seduced by one of the congregants and fell in love with her and it became known to church members.

“I want God to accept me because Prophet Moyo along with his spiritual father based in Mozambique forced me to accept false prophecies they made in order to add membership. “Such false prophecies were done to many members and we were forced to accept.

Prophet Moyo denied the allegations saying some of his leaders abandoned him and started campaigning against him.

“They are not six leaders but they are many of them who have left citing different reasons. “I know there is a girl who had a problem in church and she has been telling people that I was dating her. “This girl loved me and I didn’t love her because I was dating someone at that time so she forced it to an extent that some leaders thought I was dating her.

“Some of the leaders thought I was dating this lady and we had some meetings where I told them the truth. “We asked her about the issue. I asked her to tell the truth if we dated and she said no and I think that’s where the divisions emanated from, because there are people who believed.

“I would want to know the person, as far as I know I got married on December 22, last year and I know these are the things meant to disturb my ministry and my current affair. “We are wedding in April, so when I announced it in church a lot of people were not happy and I know there are a lot of things which happened.”

Jay-Z & Meek Mill Launch Criminal Justice Reform Organization

They both grew up in impoverished communities riddled with drugs and crime. And on Wednesday, rappers Jay-Z and Meek Mill announced they are forming a criminal justice reform organization that will lobby to change 'the laws, policies, and practices that perpetuate injustice.'

At a press conference in New York, Jay-Z, 49, explained: 'We want to be very clear. If someone commits a crime they should go to jail. But these things are just disproportionate and the whole world knows it.'

'These things' referred to current probation and parole practices that the group, named Reform Alliance, says imprisons offenders in a revolving door of incarceration and probation.


The hip hop stars were joined by New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, Michael Rubin, co-owner of the Philadelphia 76ers, and Brooklyn Nets co-owner Clara Wu Tsai as well as Van Jones, a CNN host and activist who will lead the Reform Alliance.

Oby Ezekwesili withdraws from presidential race

Oby Ezekwesili withdraws from presidential race on Thursday morning and has rather opted to help build a coalition to defeat the All Progressives Congress and the People’s Democratic Party in the February 16, 2019 election

In a statement issued by the spokesperson for the Obiageli Ezekwesili Presidential Campaign Organisation, Ozioma Ubabukoh, Ezekwesili was quoted as saying that her decision to withdraw from the race followed extensive discussions with Nigerians at home and the Diaspora.

According to her, the action is also prompted by an examination of the country’s electoral environment sequel to the 2019 presidential debate of Saturday, January 19, 2019.

“This decision followed extensive consultations with leaders from various walks of life across the country over the past few days. I deem it necessary for me to focus on helping to build a veritable coalition to ensure a viable alternative to the #APCPDP in the forthcoming elections,” the statement read.
She said,
“It is my ardent belief that this broad coalition for a viable alternative has now become more than ever before, an urgent mission for and on behalf of Nigerian citizens. I have therefore chosen to lead the way in demonstrating the much needed patriotic sacrifice for our national revival and redirection.
“I wish to state that over the past three months, I have been in private, but extended talks with other candidates to birth a coalition that would allow Nigerians to exercise their choice without feeling helplessly encumbered by the evil twins of #APCPDP.
“While the deliberations continued, I never hesitated for a moment in my willingness and determination to sacrifice my candidacy in order to facilitate the emergence of the envisaged strong and viable alternative that Nigerians could identify with in our collective search for a new beginning.
“My commitment to this promising political recalibration has been consistent and in consonance with my agreement, at the request of candidates under the Presidential Aspirants Coming Together (PACT) arrangement in 2018, when I consented to supervise the internal selection process as an outside observer passionate about building an alternative force.”
Ezekwesili also said,
“However, despite resistance from the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria on these and other issues, I have decided that it is now necessary to show by action and example my determination on this issue by stepping down my candidacy so as to focus squarely on building the coalition to a logical conclusion.
“We have no right to allow citizens give in to despair. We will #Fight4Naija together and prove to all that the mess, which the political class has now become, should not be allowed to destroy our spirits and nation. We are also determined to ensure that the message keeps resonating that our beloved country deserves better, and that we will get the best that we deserve.”
She added,
“From last year, when I joined the presidential race, I made it clear to Nigerians that the country has always had a 20-year cycle of change – 1958, 1979, and 1999. As such, 2019 begins another 20-year cycle, and together with all Nigerians of good will, I stand ready to play my part to ensure that we do not miss this golden opportunity to sing a new song.
“There is no more time to waste. Let’s get to work!”
Meanwhile, Ubabukoh thanked Nigerians, including campaign donors and volunteers, who supported Ezekwesili, saying that “every money donated to the campaign and funds spent will be accounted for in the coming days.”
