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...

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...
