 Lady calls off wedding over domestic Abuse Ada Uburu👇👇👇 Hello Guys!!!I never wanted to bring this here but I have to, I am a type of person who likes to keep my relationship away from social media but this is for clarification purposes.  This was my secondary school classmate who I thought I knew to an extent. On December 28, 2020 he did the 1st and 2nd stage in my family marriage list which bride price happened to be on the 2nd stage which he paid. After he paid my bride price he started maltreating me.  2021 was hell for me that at some point I left home, after everything we settled around November 2021 which he promised he will never beat me again. But still nothing CHANGED. This is my reason why I am CALLING OFF the Traditional Marriage (Igba Ngwu) and White Wedding ceremony between me and DAVID OKIKE OFF. (Beating me was not part of the agreement in our Marriage) This Saturday should have been my traditional and white wedding ceremony day.... I supposed to be happy but I am no

IN CATHOLIC CHURCH WE DO NOT BELIEVE IN DIVORCE BUT THERE IS SOMETHING CALLED SEPARATION FROM BED AND BOARD AND NULLIFICATION-FR. OLUOMA.(PHOTO).

In Catholic church we do not believe in divorce but there is something called seperation from bed and board and nullification -  Catholic priest urges women to run away from abusive marriages 'If your husband is beating you, he will kill you one day. He will kill you one day. Police may arrest him, after a while they leave him. He may even leave long and remarry and if he remarries, another wicked woman, the children you suffered for, will be maltreating the children. Runaway. There is nothing pious, nothing spiritual about staying in a marrriage and you are dying gradually. If he doesn't kill you instantly, he will damage your vital organs and you will die at the age of 60 or fifty something. They will think it is sickness that killed you. Run away I have told you. This is the Catholic church. We don't believe in divorce but there is something called separation from bed and board and there is something called nullification''

Massive looting continues under Buhari, Osinbajo’s watch – U.S. Massive looting continues under Buhari Osinbajo s watch U S   Despite repeated claims that the ruling APC regime has recorded substantial success in tackling corruption and preventing looting of Nigeria’s treasury, the U.S. government’s verdict is that President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Osinbajo have not covered themselves in glory as massive looting continues. The U.S. said Messrs Buhari and Osinbajo, including governors, took advantage of the immunity attached to their positions to perpetuate corrupt acts and misappropriation of public funds. This indictment is contained in its annual Country Reports on Human Rights Practices, covering internationally recognised individual, civil, political, and worker rights. In a section of the report titled ‘Corruption and Lack of Transparency in Government’, the American government noted that while Nigerian laws penalised corruption, enforcement was not followed through.
