US-based Nigerian Man Beats Fulani Herdsman Who Kidnapped Him to Coma
A Nigerian man based in the United States who came back to the country to have a good time with his loved ones has had a hell of an encounter with kidnappers.
It was gathered that the United States of America-based Nigerian reportedly escaped from kidnappers’ den after turning the heat against one of his captors and beating him to a pulp, according to a report by Punch. The man, identified simply as Chinweizu, was said to have been abducted on the Akara Isuikwuato Road in Abia State alongside an unidentified woman. It was gathered that the kidnappers, suspected to be Fulani herdsmen, seized the duo around 3pm on February 3, 2021, and took them into the forest. A source close to Chinweizu said while inside the bush, three of the kidnappers left the male victim with one of their armed colleagues and took the young woman away to possibly rape her.
But Chinweizu was said to have attacked the kidnapper when he turned his back on him.The source, who preferred not to be mentioned, said, “He (Chineweizu) kicked the kidnapper from behind and picked his gun and used it’s butt to consistently hit the eyes of the gang member until the white part of one of eyes almost popped out.”The source, who preferred anonymity, said the kidnapper’s gang members left the young woman when they heard the cry of their colleague and rushed to help him. The source stated,
“But before they could get there, the kidnapped victim had gone after inflicting a serious injury on one of the kidnappers, who is a Fulani man. He (Chinweizu) also took the kidnapper’s gun away.“He reported the matter to the Army and said the kidnappers would rush their colleague to a nearest hospital. Some of the hospitals were informed about the development and on the same day, the kidnappers came to one of the hospitals with their injured colleague.“They were immediately rounded up. The victim was called upon to identify them before they were taken away by security operatives.”
Another source in Isuikwuato corroborated the story of how Chinweizu escaped from the kidnappers’ camp. The source said, “They kidnapped an Ahaba man and a woman of unconfirmed origin. Both were taken to their camp in the heart of the forest.“The man disarmed and wounded one of his captors and escaped, while the others were attempting to rape the female captive. The cry of the disarmed kidnapper disrupted the rape and the two victims escaped in different directions.“Today, three of the kidnappers came to Ahaba junction for medical attention for the injured kidnapper. Unknown to them, a trap had been set and in time, soldiers and policemen arrived and took them away.” Confirming the incident, the Abia State Police Public Relations Officer, Geoffrey Ogbonna, said the suspected kidnappers seized Chinweizu and a woman after they had shot a 63-year-old man dead.
Nkubi Is Getting Married: Throwback To When He Said He Was Denied A Wife Because Of His Height
When people find love that leads to a lasting union, it is a thing of joy for everyone that is watching on the outside. So a couple,some hours ago, Victor Udochukwu Nwaogu popularly known as Nkubi gave us some really uplifting news – that he is getting married and he is finally off the market of single guys. He is a TV presenter and an actor who has been in the Nigerian entertainment industry for over a decade. He announced his marriage via his official Instagram account and he shared some really cute photos of him and his wife to be.
Nkubi’s marriage announcement becomes the most significant when we remembered an interview he had back in 2016. The man is a successful man but a mere glance would reveal what his limitation is – his height. This height has limited him even in acting for it is hard to find a character that is tailored to his height but that is by the way. In the interview, he revealed that he had been in a serious relationship with a girl who he planned to marry. When it was time to see the parens of the girl, they said, they cannot give him their daughter because of his height. The girl was someone who liked to obey her parents so she called off the relationship in his own words.
Succeeding against all odds is not new to Nkubi at all despite limitation and disappointments. He found a way to succeed in Nollywood despite his obvious limitation. Now he has won yet another battle to add to his accomplishments and become a husband. He has put behind him the pain of rejection, mended his broken heart and now he has found his missing rib.
Popular singer Mary Wilson dies at 76
Mary Wilson, who co-founded The Supremes and remained a member of the group until they split up, has died at the age of 76.
The singer passed away at her home in Henderson, Nevada, her publicist Jay Schwartz announced, but he did not confirm the cause of death.
The Supremes were known for hits such as Baby Love and You Can’t Hurry Love.
The group was founded in Detroit as The Primettes in 1959, when Wilson was 15 years old.
Singer Beverley Knight tweeted:”Mary Wilson along with Florence Ballard and Diana Ross changed the game permanently. Hit after hit after hit, on regular rotation to this day. A Supreme Titan may have left us but that legacy will never be surpassed.”
The founder of Motown Records, Berry Gordy, said in a statement: “I was extremely shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of a major member of the Motown family, Mary Wilson of the Supremes.
“The Supremes opened doors for themselves, the other Motown acts, and many, many others… I was always proud of Mary. She was quite a star in her own right and over the years continued to work hard to boost the legacy of the Supremes. Mary Wilson was extremely special to me. She was a trailblazer, a diva and will be deeply missed.”
A funeral for Wilson will be held privately due to Covid-19 restrictions, her family said, but a celebration of her life will take place later this year.
Wilson was an original member of the group alongside Diana Ross, Florence Ballard and Barbara Martin.
Martin left the group before they became successful, and The Supremes continued as a trio. The Supremes became Motown’s most successful act of the 1960s scoring 12 number one singles in the US.
Their first number one was 1964’s Where Did Our Love Go, which was soon followed by Baby Love, Come See About Me and Stop! In the Name of Love.
Baby Love was the only single to reach number one in the UK, but several of their singles hit the top 10 including You Keep Me Hangin’ On and You Can’t Hurry Love.
In 1967, Ballard was replaced by Cindy Birdsong and Gordy renamed the group Diana Ross and the Supremes.
Three years later, Ross left to pursue a solo career. After her departure, Wilson was left as the only original member of the group.
Wilson continued performing with Cindy Birdsong and Jean Terrell as the “new” Supremes, better known today as the “70s Supremes”.
The group disbanded following Wilson’s 1977 departure.
Wilson became a New York Times bestselling author in 1986 with the release of her autobiography, Dreamgirl: My Life As a Supreme.
The Supremes were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988.
Interest in the group’s legacy was renewed after the release of the film Dreamgirls in 2006, which starred Beyoncé Knowles and Jennifer Hudson.
The movie was based on the story of The Supremes, although Wilson said it did not depict their true story.
In 2019, Wilson took part in Dancing With The Stars, the US version of Strictly Come Dancing.
Just two days before her death, Wilson uploaded a video on YouTube announcing that she was working on releasing new solo material.

“My biological father who has never seen me for 28 years just showed up on my door.”
My biological father who has never seen me for 28 years just showed up on my door. The man had garnered a lot of reactions from social media users of South Africa who can relate to him completely, this is a country where more than half of the people were abandoned by their up to no good fathers nor mothers for one reason or another.
Another tweep had shared that he too was abandoned by his father who showed up in his life later on mysteriously, he said that he told him to go to hell. Many people related to this and felt that he was in the right because the father had no reason to just show up and pretend as if everything is fine and expect everyone to act like nothing ever happened.
Many fathers are having dilemmas in their heads, whether to show up at their children’s door steps or not, well not with the advent of social media we would all collectively want to let them know not to even think about it for a second.
All those years they have been absent they never even once tried to show up until you are fully grown, and then expect you to act normal.
‘Obinna Wants To Kill Me Because I Refused To Marry Him’ – Beautiful Lady Criess Out On Facebook
Sometimes, there are some certain things that you will see happening in our every day and sometimes, you’ll be left dumbfounded as you may not know what to say.
Following another issue of some Nigerian men training up their future ‘bride-to-be’ in schools, a Nigerian lady has taken the popular social media platform Facebook to voice out her mind about an alleged Obinna, a man whom according to her trained her in school during her time as a student.

This 100 level student just went to school last month, but see what his hostel caretaker did to him
In a news that was posted by Punch Newspaper this morning, it has been alleged that men of the Imo State Police Command have launched a manhunt, for a hostel caretaker who killed 100 level student of Federal Polytechnic, Nekede, Imo State that just resumed back to school last month for his academic activities.
According to the information that was posted, it was made known that the hostel caretaker demanded money for last year’s rent from the students occupying his hostel, and the students told him that they can’t pay the money or he should give them concession because, they didn’t use the hostel last year, due to the pandemic break.
After the caretaker, whose name hasn’t been gotten was told this, he insisted that they will all pay in full, as he disconnected the tap water from running and went out.
When he came back, he saw that the water had been connected back, and he became very angry and asked the students who did it, but got no reply, as they all told him they can’t stay in the hostel without water running.
Due to this, an argument later ensued between them and the caretaker took a sharp object and hit one of the students (Anthony Chinweotito) that was near him in the head, and he fell down immediately, as he picked another stick and hit the student several times till he became unconscious.
The caretaker however fled, after seeing the gravity of what he has done and the boy was rushed to Federal Medical Center in Owerri, where he was admitted for 5 days, before he gave up the ghost on Saturday night.
BUA has ordered 1million doses of Covid-19 vaccine
BUA Group has announced it purchased one million doses of Astra Zeneca Covid-19 vaccines to be distributed in Nigeria.
In a tweet on Monday, the group said the vaccines would be delivered next week.
It would be the first set of vaccines to be delivered since the onset of the pandemic.
The one million doses are “fully paid for”, the group added, as part of its corporate social responsibility.
“BUA commits to purchasing 5 million doses through the same arrangement in partnership with CACOVID/Afrexim Bank.”
BUA Group is one of the largest privately-owned conglomerates, with diversified interests in mining, manufacturing, food and agriculture.
In a statement, founder of BUA, Abdul Samad Rabiu, thanked the president of the Afrexim Bank, Benedict Oramah, for making the purchase possible and the Nigerian Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele, for coordinating the process through the CACOVID Private Sector partnership.
“BUA decided to secure these 1million vaccines by paying the full amount for the vaccines today because these vaccines became available only last week through AFREXIM.
“We expect the vaccines to be delivered within the next 14 days and hope priority will be given to our frontline workers who have committed their lives to managing the pandemic.
“In addition to this, BUA is committing to purchase 5 million doses for Nigeria as soon as they become available through this same arrangement,” Rabiu added.
Good news for bitcoin lovers and investors
Elon Musk’s car firm Tesla has said it bought about $1.5bn (£1.1bn) of the cryptocurrency Bitcoin in January and expects to start accepting it as payment in future.
The news caused the price of Bitcoin to jump 17% to $44,220, a record high.
Tesla said it was trying to maximise returns on cash that is not being used in day-to-day running of the company.
It comes days after Mr Musk added “#bitcoin” to his Twitter profile page, which drove up the price.
He removed it days later, but has continued talking up Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, including Dogecoin, which jumped 50% after his endorsement.
In a stock market filing, Tesla said it “updated its investment policy” in January and now wanted to invest in “reserve assets” such as digital currencies, gold bullion or gold exchange-traded funds.
It said it had already bought $1.5bn of Bitcoin and could “acquire and hold digital assets” in the future.
“Moreover, we expect to begin accepting Bitcoin as a form of payment for our products in the near future, subject to applicable laws and initially on a limited basis,” it said.
Mr Musk said a week ago in a tweet that Bitcoin was “on the verge” of being more widely accepted among investors.
Some analysts said Tesla’s investment could be a game-changer for the cryptocurrency.
“I think we will see an acceleration of companies looking to allocate to Bitcoin now that Tesla has made the first move,” said Eric Turner, vice-president of market intelligence at cryptocurrency research firm Messari.
“One of the largest companies in the world now owns Bitcoin and by extension, every investor that owns Tesla, or even just an S&P 500 fund, has exposure to it as well.”
But Neil Wilson, chief market analyst for Markets.com, warned that Bitcoin was a “very volatile” cryptocurrency.
“Tesla is now starting to take on big [foreign exchange] risk – this may not worry a lot of investors, but some conservative types might be concerned,” he said.
Bitcoin, which has hit record highs in recent months after a rollercoaster ride over the past decade, has also drawn support from major financial institutions this year.
The world’s biggest money manager, Blackrock, recently changed a handful of investment mandates to allow some of its funds to invest in the currency.
However, central banks remain sceptical of digital currencies.
In October, Bank of England governor Andrew Bailey cautioned over Bitcoin’s use as a payment method.
“I have to be honest, it is hard to see that Bitcoin has what we tend to call intrinsic value,” he said. “It may have extrinsic value in the sense that people want it.”
Mr Bailey added that he was “very nervous” about people using Bitcoin for payments, pointing out that investors should realise its price was extremely volatile.

SAD: Igbo Man Gets Little Donation After Spending 27 Years In Prison For A Crime He Didn’t Commit
It took Sunday Igboho supporters just five days to raise a whopping sum of N17 million. But it’s a different story for an Igbo man who was released since 2019 after spending 27 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit.
Back then in the late 80’s Clinton Kanu was an hard-working 26 -year old man who owned two residential buildings, cars and was living a good life. Today, he lives in a tiny apartment, has no car, no job, not even a wife or a child.
In 1992, his life turned upside down when he was arrested and sentenced to death for murder. He spent 27 years behind bars for a crime he didn’t commit. During his years in prison, Clinton Kanu attempted to commit suicide thrice but it wasn’t successful. His failed suicide attempts made him realized God was with him and that one day he would be set free. During his years in prison, he lost his dear mother, brother and uncle.
After 27 years behind bars, the Supreme Court of Nigeria declared that there was no convincing evidence to prove that Clinton Kanu was guilty of murder and was set free in April 2019. Unfortunately, he was released without compensation.
Since his release in 2019, Kanu has been trying to get his life back but it hasn’t be easy. He demanded N20 billion compensation from the Federal Government and Imo State Government for the damages done to his business and health but it has been fruitless.
In April 2020, A GoFundMe account was set up for him by Joseph Opadele, an ordained pastor in Christ Apostolic Church to help his rehabilitation. The target of was $25,000. (9.5 million) but since April 2020 till date, only $165 (N62,000) has been donated to help this man.
It’s quite sad that people can donate N17 million in five days to Sunday Igboho, a man who seems to be instigating ethnic crisis. Whereas someone is trying to find a way to get his life back has gotten only N62,000 since 11 months.
What a pity! This is simply a case of misplaced priorities. Some people are more interested in setting Nigeria on fire than helping each other.
Girl, 3, ‘beaten to death by adoptive parents’ laid to rest in emotional funeral
A three-year-old girl who was allegedly beaten to death by her adoptive mum and her partner has been laid to rest in an emotional funeral.
Victoria Rose Smith, from South Carolina, US, is said to have been killed by her adoptive parents Ariel Robinson, 29, and Jerry Robinson, 34, on January 14, police say.
Ariel, who won season 20 of Food Network’s Worst Cooks in America show last August, and Jerry, are accused of inflicting multiple blunt force injuries on Victoria, resulting to her death.
Last Friday, Victoria’s biological family buried her in a church graveyard in Travelers Rest, South Carolina, local newspaper The State reports.
Her biological mother, Casie Phares, was seen placing a teddy bear at her daughter’s grave during the funeral, as some of her previous foster parents looked on.
Victoria, who was described as “sassy and smart”, had been placed in the Robinsons’ home by the South Carolina Department of Social Services in March last year with her two older brothers, a Change.org petition said.
They were being fostered by the couple until they recently adopted Victoria, police said.
It is not clear if any of the other children in the home had been abused.
Victoria was found unresponsive in the home on January 14, and was taken to the Greenville Memorial Hospital where she was later pronounced dead.
The couple were arrested and taken to Greenville County Detention Center where they were held without bond.
Both now face a charge of “homicide by child abuse” and, if convicted, face sentences of 20 years or life in prison.

The old man said, he didn’t do anything to his niece, as her mother is trying to set him up because they had little issue between to them.
