Husband Snatching by Best Friend: Yoruba Actress Lola Alao Reacts


The cat has been let out of the bag; Becky is no longer doing her thing with Lola Alao's husband in secret, sources say she left her own husband to be with the actress' hubby and she has been flaunting the man, even in parties and other social functions in Canada. When shame is gone, a woman has lost everything.

But some of these matured ladies just don't care, they will snatch your husband from you in broad daylight and nothing will happen. Lolz!

I really pity Lola Alao in this mess. She was said to have married the man, Mr Ajibola, at a time he was at his lowest in life. And this is the second man she is getting married to and losing within a short period.

They were brought together by a friend when he was “inside” and Alao supported him and gave him the love he needed because of his “peculiar situation”.

Becky, sources said, calls Ajibola “uncle”. By virtue of that, she and Alao become very close, “almost like sisters”, a source said.

But all hell let loose when Becky called the cops on her own hubby (Kola) after an alleged domestic dispute at their home in Canada. He was allegedly arrested and later bailed by his close friends.

It was alleged that it was while Becky’s husband was in jail and waiting to be bailed that she made away with Lola Alao's husband, Mr Ajibola.

He was previously based in the United States of America but is said to have relocated to Canada to be with Becky.

When asked for her reaction on what her best friend did to her, angry Lola Alao said: “I have nothing to say about it please. I’m busy.”

When pressed confirm or deny the husband snatching saga, she said: “Deny what? I have nothing to deny... I don’t care."

Painful DeathMan mourns young wife killed by Boko Haram

A grief stricken husband is yet to come to terms with the death of his wife in a mindless Boko Haram attack in Jos.
This husband is yet to come to terms with his wife's death at the hands of a female Boko Haram suicide bomber. This husband is yet to come to terms with his wife's death at the hands of a female Boko Haram suicide bomber.
For 43-year-old Audu Go­yar Chime, a native of Plateau State, the 11th of December, 2014, will always remain a black Thursday for him as that was the day the dreaded Islamist insurgent sect Boko Haram blown his young wife and mother of his six children, Jummai to death in a market in Jos, the state capital, in what has been described as one of the deadliest in the once peaceful city.
Besides losing his wife in the mindless attack, Chime is yet to come to terms with how he is going to raise the children she left behind, including the toddler who is just one year and two months old.
Audu Chime is beside himself with grief after losing his companion of 22 years. Chime who only got to know that he has lost his beloved wife after going round mortuaries in the city when he could not locate her, Jummai’s husband, is still dazed by the horror and shock of what happened to his wife, seeing the loss as a great disaster for his family, himself and his young children.
Audu recalls that it was after he had gone round the hospitals, and could not locate Jummai, that he was asked to go to the mortuary to check if her remains could be there. It was at the Plateau Hospital morgue that he found her corpse lying on the floor with others.
The grief stricken man narrated his ordeal:
"I was devastated. If she was sick and died, it would have been easier to bear than to find someone who left home hale and hearty dead in a mortuary about 24 hours later. If I say it has been easy for me to bear, I will be lying.
When I went out today, it was to collect drugs from the clinic to help my heart. I cannot think of how I will cater for six children alone. I am a mason. I fend for my family from the proceeds I make from working at construction sites. But lately business has been bad. We do not get much to do.
It was this woman that was helping out from the little she makes. She usually bought what we ate on her way back home. The children are also not finding it easy to bear. The little one cries throughout the night because he cannot get breast milk. We now give him the food we eat and supplement it with Viju milk. When he gets up in the night, we give him Viju milk again. After whimpering for some time, he sleeps off.
I have been hearing about Boko Haram but never thought it will ever come close to me or that I will ever become a victim. We are poor and only going out to look for our own daily bread. If we decide to stay at home, nobody will come to our rescue. So, see what has become of us going to look for our daily bread.
My appeal now is that people should assist me with a job. I do not want to remove my children from school. I have three in secondary school and two in primary. The eldest one needs to write his SSCE exams to be able to further his studies.
It is only the last one that is yet to start school. I am now looking onto God to assist me. When their mother was alive, she was assisting me with their feeding and schooling but now the future looks bleak. Even though the traders were blamed for going to that market, but my own wife was not selling there.
She was just unfortunate to be there at the time of the incident. She has no stall there. There is no way one could have known that danger was lurking at a corner. Govern­ment should know that any gathering can become a target for these evil people. They attack churches and mosques.
Can they also blame people for going there? While my family learns to cope with this sad situation in which we have found our­selves, we leave our fate in God’s hand. Just like my son’s name, we believe God’s will be done."
Going by reports carried by the Sun Newspaper, Jummai who was 36-years-old at the time she died, resided in the Jenta Adamu area of Jos with her family. On the fateful day, she had woke up early in the morning, had the usual morning devotion with her husband and children before leaving for Farin Gada, a popular vegetable market, to buy cucumber, watermelon and paw-paw.
Done with making her purchases, Jummai returned home. After washing the whole stock of fruits, she loaded her tray and set out to hawk, moving from street to street, from Joseph Gomwalk Road to West of Mines, all around Tafawa Balewa Street and eventually trekked up to Terminus roundabout, a daily journey she has been been making for years.
But on that fateful Thursday, a female Boko Haram suicide bomber was lurking in the corner, her weapon of mass destruc­tion primed and ready to explode. When she detonated the bomb around 6.30pm, Jummai and many other people within the destructive range of the bomb were killed.

Secondary school student stabs father in the eye over yuletide clothes

Christmas Tragedy

For his inability to provide money for Christmas clothes, a father has had his eye stabbed by his son.
A security man who could not provide Christmas clothes for his 16-year-old son, has lost the use of one of his eyes after the boystabbed him in a fit of rage. The incident which happened at the family residence at Arowojobe Stree, Oshodi, is raising eyebrows and ending tongues wagging.
The middle aged man who name is given as Anthony, was reported to have pleaded with his son, Ikechi, that times are hard and could not afford to by new clothes for him as well as his two other siblings, arguing that since he is older, he should exercise patience while he gets them for the younger ones.
But this argument, according to one of Ikechi's cousins who witnessed the ugly debacle, Ukachukwu, did not hold water with the young man who insisted on getting new clothes as he wanted to use them for one of his friend's party at a beach in Lagos.
According to Ukachukwu, Anthony explained to Ikechi that he had little money on him as he had not been paid his salary yet. But the boy insisted on getting money for his clothes and locked up the father in the room, refusing to allow him leave for work, accusing his father of hating him.
The  father who works as a security guard in a hotel, got angry at his son's behaviour, got angry and reached for his belt and started flogging him. This incensed Ikechi who picked up a knife and stabbed his father in the eye.
This is how Ukachukwu narrated the incident:
"Ikechi accused his father of hating him and, fed up with his complaints, the man got his belt and began to flog the boy.
As his father continued flogging him, Ikechi reached for a knife and stabbed him straight in the eye. Upon seeing the horror of his deed, Ikechi took his heels.
When I wanted to run off to the police station to report the issue to the police, his mother begged me not to, as it will ‘involve more expenses.
"But I doubt if he will still see with that eye again."
Anthony, who was rushed to the hospital right away is under intensive care, while family members are praying for him to see properly with the eye again

Boy:Well,
for one.. She only cared about her appearance.
Always had to look good, always took forever to get dressed! So insecure..

the prettiest girl under your sleeve and not think otherwise? I see..

Boy:Oh.. Well.. She’d often call me or text me asking where I am, who I’m with, telling me not to smoke, not to drink. She’s so clingy!
His Best Friend:so, you broke her heart because she cares about your well being? Because she
cares about you a lot? And her greatest fear is losing you. Isee..

something slightly mean. She can’t handle anything. She’s a cry baby!

wanted to hear you say you love her? I see..

Boy:I.. Well! You know,
she’d get jealous easily. I could barely talk to other girls! She’s so annoying! I had to hide it from her.
His Best Friend:so, you broke her heart because she just wanted you to commit to her?
She thought you were faithful, but you lied so she could find out later and hurt even more? She just wanted the guy she loves the most to love
only her. I see..

Boy:Well, she..
His Best Friend:You broke up with her
because she’s good for you? She just wanted the
best for you? She’s broken now because you were selfish. Are you proud?

Boy:I broke her heart.. Because I couldn’t see what was happening.. What happened to me?
His Best Friend:You lost the girl that loved you like no one else could. You see? You didn’t want her when all she ever wanted was you. THAT’S what happened

When the victim and her friend went to answer Yusuf's call, he gave his niece some money to buy sachet water for him, detaining the innocent victim. Immediately his niece was out of the room, Yusuf pounced on the girl and forcefully raped her.
Narrating her ordeal to the police, the young victim said:
"When we got to the man’s house, he gave my friend, who is his niece, money to go and buy sachet water for him. He lives on the first floor of an old storey building with wooden staircase.
Before my friend came back, the man carried me and put me on the bed. He did not remove my dress or my pants but just drew my pants aside. He started doing something to me. I was crying but no one came.

Katie Holmes often forgets to wear jewelry.

The ‘Miss Meadows’ actress enjoys going through her collection because each piece triggers a memory for her, but the 35-year-old actress admits she often doesn’t wear any earrings or rings because it’s not part of her daily routine.
Katie Holmes
She said: “I love to look through my jewelry box because it’s like looking through a photo album.
“But I don’t wear much of it because, to be honest, I forget.”
Katie has several memorable items in her jewelry box, including a number of costume pieces given to her by her daughter Suri – her child with ex-husband Tom Cruise – as well as various items she has received for big celebrations such as a necklace she got for her sweet 16th birthday.
Speaking to HELLO! magazine, she said: “It mostly contains jewelry from Claire’s – panda or heart earrings that my child has given me and that I treasure.
“More grown-up pieces are ones given to me to mark special moments – birthdays and such.
“I still have my sweet 16 necklace, which is the same one my sisters and I each shared when we turned 16. Because I’m the baby, I still have it, although I’ll have to give it to my niece soon.”

APC meeting to pick Buhari's Vice ends in Deadlocked

National leaders of the All Progressives Congress hit a deadlock at the Rivers State government lodge in Abuja in a meeting convened to choose a Vice Presidential candidate for the 2015 presidential election.

Sources at the meeting said the deadlock arrived after governors within the party rejected the candidature of Bola Tinubu as well as Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, a former Lagos State Attorney General.

Tinubu was said to be absent at the rowdy meeting but the presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, was in attendance but did not utter a word throughout due to the tensed nature of the meeting.
After the meeting reached a deadlock, a committee of six leaders chosen from the geo-political zones was set up to resolve the logjam, but after several hours of meeting, they also failed to agree on a candidate.

Some members of the committee are Chief Bisi Akande (Southwest), Dr. Chris Ngige (Southeast), Danjuma Goje (Northeast) and Bukola Saraki (Northcentral).

The meeting then dispersed with a final directive to Buhari to go ahead and choose whomever he deems fit as his Vice Presidential candidate.

Buhari would most likely pick a VP candidate from Lagos.

Inspirational quotes for the day

Jesus, My Redeemer


Ephesians 2: 1-5 reads,
As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. 4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 
Without Christ, I was in the worst possible state – spiritually dead, and I deserved to stay that way. Yet God, in His love and mercy, redeemed me through His Son. By accepting His free gift of salvation, I am made "alive in Christ" – gain spiritual life, which outlasts my physical life– and allows me to belong to the family of God. I like how the Apostle Peter describes Christians in 1 Peter 2: 9 - "But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light." Ephesians 5: 6-7 also adds, "6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus."

Further, Ephesians 2: 8-9 hits home that nothing I ever did, or can do, can ever save me: “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.” When I recognize that my redemption through accepting salvation is not my doing, my response is humility.

But the most exciting part of Ephesians 2:1-10 for me as it relates to this life is verse 10: “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” The passage culminates in the conclusion that God redeemeds Christians for a purpose – not just so that we can escape hell, as glorious as that is – but also today so that we can join in His work and live out our calling in Christ. And, for every believer, that includes sharing The Gospel - the story of God's Redemptive plan - with others.

The more I consider that I’m God’s "handiwork" (or workmanship) created to do good works that He prepared for me to do, the more it hits home the result of redemption in the now. In 1 Corinthians 13: 12 the apostle Paul notes that on this earth we lack full knowledge, and will continue to until we get to heaven. While God’s ultimate plans are revealed to us in Scripture, and the more that we study God’s Word and walk with Him the more that we learn about His character, purposes, and ways, there is still much that we will never understand on this side of heaven. But today, I know that God has a purpose for me being here and, as I seek Him daily, He shows me what I should be doing today, and, as He wills, tomorrow. And His plans far outweigh any that I can come up with on my own.

For the last couple years, particularly as I’ve been continuously reading through the Bible – through which I've come to see even more as an awesome, mind-blowing true story of Redemption (as is said, “The Greatest [True] Story Ever Told”), God has really revived John 10:10 as a “life” verse (and I feel like I somehow reference in it in like, every entry, lol). I will repeat it (again), in three versions:
