The governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano has described the late Chief Richard Okeke, Ezuo of Enugwu-Ukwu na Umunri, father of his Deputy, as a great man who died leaving a legacy worthy of emulation by all. Governor Obiano stated this in a brief eulogy today at Enugwu-Ukwu, Njikoka Local Government Area of Anambra State.

Governor Obiano noted that Ezuo Enugwu-Ukwu na Umunri lived a devoted life to the course of the church, family and society and died at a ripe age of eighty-eight years.

Said he: “Ezuo, achieved a lot for his immediate family and community. I recall a few times I met him and he always remindd me to always work well with my son. I can tell you that Nkem and I work like brothers, and most of you know, Nkem is a bright and reliable man. I wish to recognize Nkem’s mother, a very dedicated woman who looked after the husband and every woman should emulate her dedication for leaving every other thing to stick with her husband until his death.”

Obiano urged Nkem and his siblings to uphold the legacy of their father who served the church well and called on Enugwu-Ukwu people to be proud of their great son. He also commended the Bishops who turned out in large numbers for the burial service of the late Ezue.

Earlier in his Sermon, the Dean Church of Nigeria and Archbishop, Metropolitan, Ecclesiastical Province of the Niger, the Most Revd. Christian Efobi, called on many to learn some lessons from the life led by Late Chief Okeke and called on all to be ready for death at all times by forsaking their sins, loving God and their neighbour.

He enjoined the Okeke family to remain united in purposeful fellowship. The Archbishop Efobi reiterated that God-ordained destinies for men will surely come to pass, saying that God crowned the late icon's efforts with success.

Responding, Deputy Governor Nkem and his brother, Emeka Okeke thanked Governor Obiano among others for their support towards the funeral rites, and noted that the ceremony was a celebration of a good life full of legacies, adding that being proud of their roots, they would forever miss their late dad.

A retinue of Archbishops, Bishops, Council of Knights, APGA Stalwarts, Traditional Rulers, Enugu State Governor, Deputy Governors of Kogi, Ebonyi, Enugu, Delta and Cross River, among others also attended the service.

Immanuels Anglican Church Enugwu-ukwu, Njikoka Local Government Area, venue for the burial service was filled to capacity for the ceremony which the deceased’s son, the Deputy Governor described as wonderful.

The road from Late Chief Okeke's residence was heavily gridlocked as the pall bearers as well as the Deputy Governor in Company of his family members and friends took off on foot bearing his late father to the church.

Late Chief Richard Okeke was finally laid to rest in his residence in Awovu village, Enugwu-Ukwu.

Nollywood screen diva, Fathia Balogun has gone bald again in a new movie titled ‘Shola Arikusa’.


She said ‘ when I was approached by the director that my role will require me to scrap off my hair totally, I did not think about it twice before I scummed to playing the role since it’s what I have done before. Am a trained actor who can interpret roles and that I am doing on this project too.

When further asked if she would not look old fashioned with new look, Fathia was quick to note that whether you have grown hair or not, the way you rock them matters a lot, going bald now does not mean I would not be fashionable; after this movie check me out on red carpet events.

24-year-old Funmi (left) and 27-year-old Shola (right) who are both graduates from Covenant University with degrees in International Relation and were on the verge of completing their Masters in International Law and Diplomacy from the University of Lagos, lost their lives at a friend's birthday party in Elegushi Beach yesterday.

The young Ladies were carried away by the heavy tide of the Beach water and there were no safety measures like an emergency medical unit, patrol unit or even life guards to assist them. Their friends are crying out to appropriate government agencies to look in this situation which is now becoming common in Nigeria and stop such from reoccurring.

This was confirmed by Facebook user, Mohammed Hassan. “Our little Musa just breathed his last,” the user said, noting that the toddler passed on the night before. “Those who made life hell for him can now have the world for themselves. Indeed the heart of man is desperately wicked.”

[img]http://www.olisa.tv/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/musa.jpg[/img]

Musa’s story took social media by storm after it was revealed that the little boy was mutilated by his jealous step mother in Gulu Village in the Rimin Gado Local Government Area of Kano State.

According to reports, the stepmother split open his scrotum with a knife, broke the boy’s hands and legs, and then cut his tongue. Not longer after, his hospital bed photos surfaced, showing all the gory details and also sparking an outrage. Celebrities like Kate Henshaw and Annie Idibia joined in the campaign for #JusticeForMusa.

Sadly, he has passed on.

However, it is unclear if the accused stepmother has been charged to court.
