Politics / Anambra State Government Marks Odumeje's Church For Demolition by ogbiwa: 2:16pm On Apr 14, 2022 |
The Anambra State government has reportedly marked the church of controversial prophet, Chukwuemeka Ohanemere, widely known Odumeje, for demolition. The church, Mountain of Holy Ghost Intervention Deliverance Ministry World Miracle Center, alias Land of Freedom, is located at number 88B Bida Road, Fegge, Onitsha. The state government marked the church structure as an illegal structure, and asked that it be removed. It is reported that the structure is sitting on a huge canal which renders it an illegal building in line with Soludo’s plan to demolish over 200 buildings in Onitsha blocking the drainage linking the River Niger. Odumeje, known for his unconventional style of preaching during church service, is a widely known cleric based in the Anambra commercial capital. Though he is adored by his followers, many see his manner of preaching as ‘unchrist-like’. https://www.withinnigeria.com/news/2022/04/14/soludo-marks-odumejes-church-for-demolition/amp/ Lalasticlala Mynd44 Lalasticlala Mynd44 Lalasticlala Mynd44 Lalasticlala Mynd44

Sports / Mourinho Looked Embarrassed On A TV Show With Bikini Clad Lady (Throwback) by ogbiwa: 12:55pm On Apr 14, 2022 |
Jose Mourinho found himself in a sticky situation during an appearance on an Italian TV show in 2009 - trying to avoid the glances of beautiful half-naked women. Mourinho, then manager of Inter Milan, appeared on a programme called Chiambretti Night, a bizarre chat show featuring interviews, skits and gorgeous dancing girls. Talking has never been much of a problem for the current Roma boss, but steering clear of the looks of beautiful sirens proved an altogether tougher task. Old footage of Mourinho's appearance on the show has gone viral on on social media - and it makes for hilarious viewing. Sat in a white chair in the middle of the studio, the Portuguese maverick looks like he'd rather be anywhere else as the dancers, some wearing only white bras and lingerie, walk teasingly around him. Pictures from the night show Mourinho trying to avoid looking at the beautiful women as they bend down around his seat and show off their flexible bodies behind his chair. Football fans loved the old footage and showed their sympathies with Mourinho's predicament in the comments below. One joked his pained facial expressions were caused by team selection issues, saying: "He's contemplating whether to play Muntari." Someone else made a similar point, adding: "Man was probably thinking of how to lock Messi." Another social media user added: "Man was trying to win the CL, no time for such." While a fourth person joked: "Man was probably thinking of how to lock Messi." Mourinho managed to survive his appearance on Chiambretti Night and led Inter Milan to the Serie A title in his first season in charge of the Italian giants. He followed it up with a historic treble a year later, winning Serie A, the Coppa Italia and the Champions League. Despite such incredible success, the outspoken boss left the San Siro that summer, joining Real Madrid, where he won La Liga and the Copa del Rey. A second spell at Chelsea followed before unsuccessful stints at Manchester United and Tottenham before his move to Roma. https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/mourinho-tv-appearance-lingerie-women-26700398.amp?fr=operanews 5 Likes 3 Shares

Sports / Arsenal Fans Beg Arteta To Stop Signing "Chelsea Rejects" Like Hazard by ogbiwa: 7:40am On Apr 09, 2022 |
Arsenal fans have begged Mikel Arteta to avoid signing 'Chelsea rejects' after reportedly holding a meeting with Eden Hazard's agent. Hazard is set to leave Real Madrid in the summer transfer window, with his time at the Bernabeu continuing to be a nightmare. The winger recently underwent surgery, having started just nine games in all competitions so far this season. He has been one of the biggest flops in the La Liga giant's history, scoring just six goals since he was bought from Chelsea three years ago. With Hazard clearly having no place in Carlo Ancelotti's plans, Madrid are now ready to offload him. According to Foot Mercato, Arsenal have emerged as a surprise potential destination for the Belgian. It is reported that the Gunners have held talks with Hazard's representatives over the possibility of a deal. Arteta's men will look to complete an initial loan deal for the 31-year-old, with a year still remaining on his contract at Los Blancos. Such a deal would include an option for the Gunners to bring him to the Emirates permanently. But the news that Arsenal are considering offering Hazard a fresh start has not gone down well with Gunners fans. They have called for Arteta to stop the deal in its tracks, begging him not to sign a 'Chelsea reject'. "Arsenal should stop buying Chelsea rejects! Arteta please do not make that mistake of bringing in Eden Hazard," one tweeted. Another added: "Hazard to Arsenal might be condemning ESR to the bench for quite some time." "Current Eden Hazard might be the worst piece of business in Arsenal history," a third said. "I'm sorry but that doesn't make any sense from a performance, fitness, financial, or morale level," tweeted a fourth. "If Hazard comes to arsenal and is good that is the exception it is literally a 1 in 10 chance that he is good not great but good. That is too much risk and not enough reward," added another. "Arsenal's record at taking exiled players and restoring them is a money pit of pain. I'd stick with signing younger players," concluded one fan. https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/arsenal-eden-hazard-transfer-news-26672450 7 Likes

Sports / Wesley Sneijder Now Looks Twice His Size In New Photos by ogbiwa: 7:22am On Apr 09, 2022 |
Inter Milan legend Wesley Sneijder has stunned fans by going “full Samir Nasri” with his figure. The iconic Dutch playmaker retired from football in 2019 after a stint with Qatari side Al Gharafa, before returning to the pitch for a recent charity game to raise money for Ukraine. But the 37-year-old stepped onto the field boasting a ‘fuller figure’ compared to what many would have remembered. Sneijder’s different look prompted cheeky comments from fans on social media as they were left confused at the notable difference since his last club appearance. And the 2010 World Cup finalist was even compared to fellow former pro Samir Nasri, who gained attention last year for sporting a pot belly in a legends match for the Didier Drogba Foundation. One fan commented on Sneijder’s appearance on Twitter: “Pardon? He wasted no time.” Another tweeted: “Wait, that’s Wesley Sneijder?” And a third added: “The same thing happened with Nasri.” Others came to the defence of the former attacking midfielder, with one fan in particular saying: “I don't understand the comments about his physique, he has devoted his whole life to top-level sport with a very strict lifestyle. “He has been retired for almost 3 years, he is enjoying life, he owes nothing to anyone and especially not to you!” Polish website SPORT.PL reports the 2010 treble winner weighed around 67kg as a footballer. They went on to claim he has since ballooned up to a whopping 120kg since retiring. Ex-Arsenal star Nasri received similar attention on social media after just one month out of the game. Having once been considered one of the finest players in the Premier League, the Frenchman called time on his career aged just 34. https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/wesley-sneijder-figure-samir-nasri-26665581# 4 Likes

Celebrities / See The Shocking Autopsy Report Of WWE Legend Ultimate Warrior by ogbiwa: 7:04am On Apr 09, 2022 |
WWE legend Ultimate Warrior's autopsy showed off some graphic results and disturbing details including a heart that had swelled to twice the size. Warrior, real name James Brian Hellwig, passed away on April 8, 2014, just days after being inducted into the prestigious WWE Hall of Fame. Warrior, who was known for fighting frequently with A-Listers like Hulk Hogan, gave a touching but shocking speech just one day before he died on an episode of Monday Night Raw, where he said his "spirit" would "run on forever" and thanked fans. His speech was delivered to the crowd, where Warrior said: "Every man's heart one day beats its final beat. His lungs breathe a final breath". The 54-year-old's death came as a shock to wrestling fans and industry professionals, and an autopsy report revealed the gruesome circumstances surrounding his death. Warrior, who had called time on his 13-year career in 1998 but briefly returned to the ring in 2008, suffered a fatal heart attack that stunned the wrestling world. An autopsy released by the Maricopa County Office in Arizona showed the legend of the ring had atherosclerotic/arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease, with a diagnosis of an enlarged heart. At the time of his death, the WWE Hall of Famer's heart weight 650 grams, more than twice the average weight of an adult male heart. The autopsy also showed that his arteries had narrowed by roughly 50 to 60 percent, which limited blood flow and increased the risk of stroke. But heart issues weren't the only problem for the man billed as being from "Parts Unknown," with other details including excess fluid on the lungs and a "history of witnessed sudden collapse with immediate apnoea and pulselessness" reported. The wrestler had reportedly received prescriptions for Vyvanse, an ADHD treatment drug and hydrocodone, a pain reliever, Grunge reports. Warrior also had a history of sleep apnoea, congestive heart failure and chronic anterior horn cell disease, which affects the spinal chord. https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/weird-news/ultimate-warriors-autopsy-showed-heart-26668461 Lalasticlala Mynd44 Lalasticlala Mynd44 Lalasticlala Mynd44 Lalasticlala Mynd44 Lalasticlala Mynd44

Crime / Man Who Shot A Baby In The Head In US, Murdered By Prison Inmates by ogbiwa: 3:43pm On Apr 07, 2022 |
A man jailed for murdering a toddler by shooting her in the head has been killed in a savage prison attack. Semajs Short died at the hands of a gang of prisoners at the Bertie Correctional Institution, in Windsor, North Carolina on Tuesday afternoon. The 24-year-old, who was jailed at the age of 17, was targeted in the housing area of the prison. A spokesperson for the state Department of Public Safety confirmed his death, saying that Short died at around 2.37pm despite efforts by first responders to save him. Several other inmates were reportedly wounded in the attack, but sustained only non-life-threatening injuries. At the time of his death Short had been serving a 31-year-sentence for the murder of toddler Dy’Unanna Anderson. He had pleaded guilty to the second-degree murder of the two-year-old at the age of 17. Short stood trial alongside Jamonte Moody, who pleaded guilty to attempting to murder Dy-Unanna's grandmother. According to RR Spin, District Attorney Valerie M. Asbell said at his sentencing: “This was a horrendous event which shocked our entire community especially when it involved the murder of an innocent two-year-old girl and the attempted murder of her grandmother. "It is my job as district attorney to hold people accountable for their actions and their roles in certain crimes. “Our homes are where we should feel safe and when events like this occur, it shakes our sense of security in the sanctity of our own homes." The attacks were carried out in retribution for the murder of 15-year-old Keyuon Garner. Short and Moody went to the home of the sister of Teddy Anderson, who was wanted in connection with the murder at that point. They stood on an air conditioning unit at a window where the baby, her mother and grandmother slept, a court heard back in 2017, and began shooting. The grandmother was hit several times by bullets and even sustained a shot to the head. Dy’Unanna was shot through the head and likely died before she got to hospital. The Windsor Police Department and the State Bureau of Investigation are looking into the attack on Short. In the US 120 people died in prison in 2018, according to Prison Policy Initiative data. The rate of homicide in state prisons is 2.5 times greater than in the US population in general when adjusted for age, sex and ethnicity. https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/world-news/murderer-who-shot-toddler-head-26602957 3 Likes

Foreign Affairs / Meet Putin's 2 Daughters As US Places Sanctions On Them by ogbiwa: 6:03am On Apr 07, 2022 |
The US has placed Vladimir Putin's daughters on its latest sanction list after allegations of war crimes from their father's forces in Ukraine. While Vladimir Putin may be the name on the lips of the world right now, not much is known about his two daughters with his former wife Lyudmila Putina, from whom he divorced in 2013, and a possible third, secret daughter. Putin is notoriously tight-lipped about his daughters, saying in 2008 that he has "always disliked" those who "break into other people’s private affairs." But, being Putin's offspring, Maria Vorontsova, 36, and Katerina Tikhonova, 35, were always going to be in the public interest. Maria, the oldest, who also goes as Maria Fassen, is a paediatric endocrinologist and one of Russia's top experts on dwarfism. The US said on Wednesday that Ms Vorontsova “leads state-funded programs that have received billions of dollars from the Kremlin towards genetics research and are personally overseen by Putin.” Her early life was in East Germany, where her father served as a KGB agent. It is there that she reportedly showed great aptitude for the sciences at school as a young child. Maria continued in Moscow as a teen, before going on to study biology at St Petersburg State University. She is married to Russian-born Dutch businessman Jorrit Faassen and the couple reportedly now live in Moscow. Katerina, a former rock'n'roll dancer, enrolled at the same university as Maria and graduated with a degree in Asian studies, specialising in Japanese history, also holding degrees in physics and mathematics. She is now director of Innopraktika, a $1.7bn project to create a science centre at Moscow State University. Katerina is also deputy director of the Institute for Mathematical Research of Complex Systems at the same institution. She was married for five years to gas company executive Kirill Shamalov, Russia's youngest billionaire and son of the co-owner of Rossiya Bank. The US described Ms Tikhonova as a “technology executive whose work supports the GoR [Russian government] and defence industry.” But more peculiarly, she has a penchant for rock 'n roll dancing. In 2015, Reuters disclosed that a participant at a World Rock'n'Roll event was in fact Putin's daughter. She also served as the vice president for expansion and marketing at the World Rock and Roll Confederation (WWRC), the body which organises competitions worldwide. Putin has publicly spoken about his daughters only a handful of times. In a 2015 press conference, he stunned all when he said: "They studied only at Russian universities. I am proud of them. They continue to study and work." Reuters reported in 2017 that Putin said he wanted his grandchildren to have a normal childhood. “My daughters are involved in science and in education. They don’t interfere in anything, including politics. They live normally,” he said. The Russian leader also allegedly has a secret daughter, 18-year-old Luiza Rozova. She is the daughter of multimillionaire Svetlana Krivonogikh, 45, once a cleaner and now one of Russia's wealthiest women. The suspicion that Luiza was Putin’s daughter from an extra-marital affair was raised by an independent media outlet in Russia, now barred from operating by authorities. Neither Luiza nor Svetlana have confirmed or denied the claims although Luiza, also known as Elizaveta, told Russian GQ that she 'probably' looks 'similar' to Putin in his younger days.

Sports / Meet Jude Littler, N'golo Kante's Wife That Is 16 Years Older Than Him by ogbiwa: 6:55am On Mar 30, 2022 |
Jude Littler is the beautiful wife of Chelsea FC star N'Golo Kanté. Jude is also the ex-wife of former France international footballer Djibril Cissé. N'Golo Kanté is considered to be one of the best midfielders of his time. The Frenchman has achieved almost everything there is to achieve as a professional footballer. Kante has won the Premier League twice - once with Leicester City and once with Chelsea. He is also the winner of the World Cup 2018 and he helped the Blues win the Champion League in the 2020/2021 season. It is unknown when exactly did Kante and Jude met as they are both very private about their personal lives. Kante is probably one of the most mysterious players in the world as he keeps his private life a secret and he does not share anything with the press. His wife Jude Littler is a successful business owner, with millions in her bank account. She is mostly known for being the wife of the Chelsea star N'Golo Kante. She was first recognized as the wife of the former Liverpool ace Djibril Cissé. Eventually, Djibril and Jude divorced. She was born on November 30, 1975, so her age is 46. Jude is 16 years older than her husband, N'Golo Kante, who was born on March 29, 1991. She was born in Anglesey, United Kingdom, meaning that her nationality is British. She was a hairdresser before she met Djibril Cissé. After she started dating the former Liverpool ace she quit her job. Her net worth is around $2 Million. N'Golo Kante's net worth is around $23 Million. Kante earns around $7 Million per year and his weekly wage is €146,341. Despite being a millionaire, Kante is the most modest person we know as he drives not the typical football player's expensive car, but a Mini Cooper. His wife is not the typical WAG, who shares her life with her followers. Jude does not use social media. Jude Littler can't be found on Instagram. She prefers to spend her time focusing on her business and her children rather than scrolling through social media. She has three children from her previous marriage to Djibril Cisse. https://ohmyfootball.com/news/723/kante-wife-jude-littler 36 Likes 8 Shares

An interesting challenge was played by a group of Nigerian women on social media which involved acting as though they intend to send money to their boyfriends. A man introduced the game on Twitter when he asked women to send message to their boyfriend on WhatsApp asking him to send his account number. Many women participated in the challenge and the reactions are nothing nothing short of shocking and hilarious. Most of the men thought that their women were joking when they asked for account number because it is not something they are used to doing.

Sports / Thomas Partey Meets His Lookalike In Ghana by ogbiwa: 7:07pm On Mar 27, 2022 |
Thomas Partey met incredible lookalike 'Thomas After Partey' while on international duty, leaving fans - and his Ghana team-mates - in fits of laughter. The Arsenal midfielder was with the Ghana side ahead of their World Cup Qualifying first-leg draw in Kumasi with Nigeria when he met his clone. Footage showed the player next to someone who struck a huge resemblance to the 28-year-old, with his team-mate Kofi Kyereh posting the video on his Instagram story. The clip shows Partey decked out in Ghana training gear with his arms around his lookalike, who is wearing the Arsenal warm-up top. Supporters on social media chimed in with just how similar the pair looked. One said: “When you’re popular you’ll surely find your look alike. Another wrote: "Nah this guy looks more like Thomas than Thomas." Another asked: "How is it even possible?" One quipped: “If this guy goes to Arsenal camp I swear they will think he is partey and start him in a match.” Partey, who claimed the club's player of the month gong for February, has been enjoying a fabulous period for the north London side this year. He played exceptionally well against Leicester earlier this month, a match in which he scored the opening goal before hitting the woodwork. Arsenal will be hoping the recent displays will mark a turn of fortune for the player who has for so long been hampered by injury. Gunners boss Mikel Arteta, meanwhile, has spoken about the need for communication to achieve results. Arsenal find themselves in a Champions League spot with just ten games remaining and a lot of praise has been directed Arteta's way as a result. https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/thomas-partey-arsenal-ghana-lookalike-26568432 12 Likes

Foreign Affairs / Putin Should Be "Worried His Own Family Might Assassinate Him", Expert Warns by ogbiwa: 7:10am On Mar 26, 2022 |
With his international and domestic reputation in tatters, there’s been much speculation Vladimir Putin’s card is marked – and one expert thinks his daughters might be the ones to 'off him'. Since Russia invaded Ukraine, there have been whispers that those in the upper echelons of the Kremlin have been looking to depose him with former KGB agent Alexander Bortnikov tipped to take over. Of course, Putin would be unlikely to leave willingly leading some experts to theorize he could be assassinated. Australian expert Dr Leonid Petrov, has now speculated that if Putin were to be murdered, it’d be someone incredibly close to him doing the chopping. Speaking to news.au he said: “I believe that if there is an assassination attempt, that might come from a female. Maybe a member of his family, his mistress, his daughter, his ex-wife – somebody who knows him and could actually get close to him. "The possibility (of assassination) is increasing.” So, taking in Dr Petrov's theories, who are the candidates? Although the 69-year-old dictator keeps his private life incredibly private, it is public knowledge that he shares two daughters with his ex-wife Lyudmila Putina, who he separated from in 2013 after 30 years of marriage. These are 36-year-old Maria Faassen and her sister 35-year old Katerina Tikhonova. He is also rumoured to be the father of 18-year-old Luiza Rozova, though in charming Putin fashion he has never publically acknowledged his suspected seed, reports the Mirror. So a stacked roster of candidates then, but you suspect it's a long shot as if any of them even had the inclination to take on the job they'd struggle to get close to him. Putin is flanked 24/7 by a team of highly trained bodyguards armed with bulletproof briefcases who are permitted to kill anyone they perceive as a threat to him.

Foreign Affairs / Ukraine's Usyk Confirms He's Leaving His Country To Prepare For Joshua Rematch by ogbiwa: 6:58am On Mar 26, 2022 |
Oleksandr Usyk has confirmed he will fight Anthony Joshua in a rematch and will leave Ukraine in order to start preparing for the fight. The rematch had been thrown into doubt last month as Usyk returned to his homeland in order to lend his services to the fight against the Russian invasion. However, Usyk has now announced his intention to fulfil the rematch clause in his contract following their first meeting back in September, which he won via unanimous decision. Plans are now being put in place to officially announce a rematch between Usyk and Joshua, with hopes for a bout in June. Usyk has reportedly been granted leave in order to depart Ukraine, having returned to the country to join the Kyiv Territorial Defence force and fight the Russian invasion. His return to Ukraine had thrown the original plans for a rematch into doubt, with a date in May having previously been drawn up for the pair to meet. Joshua even started shortlisting potential alternative opponents in order to return to the ring following the second defeat of his professional career. The British fighter is instead now set to be given the chance to reclaim his world title belts from Usyk later this year, after surrendering the IBF, WBO and WBA super world titles in the September defeat. There is also potential for the winner of the Usyk vs Joshua rematch to seek a bout to unify the heavyweight division against either Tyson Fury or Dillian Whyte. Fury and Whyte will fight for the WBC and The Ring titles in London on April 23, with Fury currently holding the belts, having retained it in his trilogy bout with Deontay Wilder in October last year. The British fighter is instead now set to be given the chance to reclaim his world title belts from Usyk later this year, after surrendering the IBF, WBO and WBA super world titles in the September defeat. https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/boxing/oleksandr-usyk-anthony-joshua-boxing-26559172 1 Like

Foreign Affairs / Putin Allegedly Decides "End Date" For Ukraine War, And Troops Must Win By Then by ogbiwa: 6:44am On Mar 26, 2022 |
Russian troops have been told to “make sure” the invasion into Ukraine is over by May 9 - a date of historical importance in Russia. The claim has come from a member of the general staff of the armed forces of Ukraine, according to Russian news outlet Pravda News. They quote a source as saying: "According to the available information, there is an ongoing propaganda campaign among the personnel of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation which seeks to impose the idea that the war has to end by May 9, 2022. "Despite significant losses and demoralised personnel, the military and political authorities of the Russian Federation are still not rejecting the possibility of continuing to wage the war against Ukraine. “Violating the rules of war, the occupying troops are destroying the infrastructure of peaceful cities and villages. "Most medical establishments located on the Russian side of the border with Ukraine, near the border, are occupied by wounded soldiers of the Russian army. "Russian troops are also attempting to restore the combat capabilities of its airborne troops.” For Russians, May 9 is an historically significant date. A national holiday is held every year on that date to celebrate the end of the Second World War – and, in Russia, it is when they claim sole, or Soviet, victory over the Nazis. The day usually sees a huge military parade held in Moscow, and the country joins forces with former members of the Soviet Union, plus Israel and Serbia. This ties in with the Russian narrative of trying to “rid Ukraine of neo-Nazis”. Expert Thomas Graham told Newsweek: “One of the great Russian triumphs of the last century was the victory over Nazi Germany, which came at tremendous sacrifice by the Soviet people. “So Putin is trying to sort of recycle this anti-Nazi narrative to appeal to a very strong emotion as a way of rattling support for what he's doing.” https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/world-news/putin-decides-end-date-ukraine-26552610 Lalasticlala Mynd44 Lalasticlala Mynd44 Lalasticlala Mynd44 Lalasticlala Mynd44 Lalasticlala Mynd44
