She shared this photo above few minutes ago with the caption  " The press photo of our engagement announcement in the 70s.  My husband @stephenkomlosy and I were an unusual couple and some sections of the press gave our relationship one year, before we end it. They even did their best to help derail our relationship. Bless them. 😊 He Who is with me is greater and infinitely more powerful than the one they serve. I bet you our marriage has out lasted theirs, if they ever had any. I believe in Haman's justice reference: Esther 7: 1-10  Yes, we reap what we sow and we get back what we wish and plan for other people. Especially people we don't know. My marriage is an amazing one because God created the tool that has helped me make it so. It shocks and saddens me that more people don't know this simple fact and try to go it alone. Good luck to all you young couples.". One more photo below.

Court Orders Two Wives To Bury Husband At The Boundary Between Their Properties As They Fight Over His Body A family of two wives and 13 children has been ordered by a Thika Court in Kenya to bury their husband on a boundary between their two neighbouring parcels of land to avoid a looming family dispute. The late prominent Kiambu businessman, Christopher Mbote, was supposed to be buried on Friday, January 27, 2023, before the second wife went to court to block the process. The first wife had already dug a grave on her property. Chief Magistrate Stella Atambo also ordered that the grave should be dug equally from both sides of the land and that both parties should have ease in accessing the graveyard. The second wife, Ann Njeri Mbote, went to court to stop the burial preparations, arguing that she has not been involved in preparations since the death of her husband with whom they had six children. The family was also ordered to have a Title Deed of that particular piece of land bearing

Supreme Court Rejects Bail Request Of Convicted Serving Senator Who Has Been In Hiding January 27, 2023 The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed an application for post-conviction bail brought by Peter Nwaoboshi, a serving senator jailed for seven years on money laundering charges. The Court of Appeal in Lagos had, in a judgment on July 1, 2022, convicted and sentenced Nwaoboshi on the charge brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC. Rather than serving the jail term, Nwaoboshi, who is the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, for Delta North Senatorial District in Delta State in the forthcoming election, went underground. While still in hiding, Nwaoboshi filed an appeal against his conviction and sentence, along with the application with which he sought to be granted bail pending the determination of his appeal. Ruling on Friday, a five-member panel of the Supreme Court, while dismissing the application, noted that Nwaoboshi’s conduct was a sla

BRAZILIAN MAN FAKED HIS OWN DEATH TO FIND OUT WHO WILL ATTEND HIS FUNERAL. (PHOTOS).

-
Image
A curious Brazilian man has faked his own death to find out. Baltazar Lemos, 60, from Curitiba, Paraná, announced his death on social media and set up a hoax funeral for his friends and family. Lemos frequently conducts funerals, and has overseen hundreds of ceremonies commemorating the life of other people. He recounted how saddened he had been after conducting a service with just two people in attendance compared to other services where more than 500 were present. So, just like the episode in Friends where Ross Geller held a fake funeral to see which of his old college mates would attend, Lemos pulled the hoax to see who would show up. Unfortunately for the 60-year-old Brazilian, his funeral produced similarly disastrous results to that of the fictional paleontologist.  Earlier this month, Lemos posted a seemingly innocent and cheery photo of himself on his Facebook page, sharing 'prayers and good vibes with everyone'. However, Lemos' friends could see from the background

GOV. ZULUM VISITS KALA-BALGE, GIVES 12,000 RESIDENTS NEW NAIRA NOTES. (PHOTOS).#PRESS RELEASE.

Food: Zulum visits Kala-Balge, gives 12,000 residents New Naira Notes  Governor Babagana Umara Zulum on Thursday visited Rann, headquarters of Kala-Balge Local Government in the central part of Borno State at which he supervised the distribution of redesigned naira notes to over 12,000 residents.  The Governor’s intervention was to enable residents buy food. The residents have been cut off by flooding, which destroyed farmlands during the rains, and forced residents to only source food stuff from boarder villages between Nigeria and Cameroon.  Rann can only be reached by road through the border areas in Cameroon. This is due to flooded road caused by a dam discharge in Central Africa, which trapped Nigerians in Rann, preventing them from travelling to other parts of Borno and denying them access to their farms which were also flooded. Zulum flew from Maiduguri to Rann on board a helicopter to coordinate the distribution of the redesigned naira notes to vulnerable men and women most of

Mega churches, schools bar old naira note payment, offering 27 January 2023 Ahead of the January 31 deadline set by the Central Bank of Nigeria for the phasing out of the old N1,000, N500 and N200 notes, some mega-churches, schools and retailers have set time limits for the collection of the old currencies. This came as the lingering shortage of old naira notes forced several commercial banks to shut their Automated Teller Machines in Lagos, Abuja and other states across the country. Deposit Money Banks have been battling a shortage of old bills amid a directive by the CBN that lenders should load only their ATMs with the news notes, forbidding over-the-counter payment of customers with the new currencies. However, amid long queues in banks across the country, findings on Thursday indicated that a number of mega-churches, schools and retailers had stipulated earlier time limits for the collection of the old notes. This, it was learnt, was aimed at saving the organizations from the burd

The Lagos State Police Command will keep residents and the good people of Lagos State updated whenever the need arises.
