While I was scrolling on my phone, I came across a picture of an old man and a young lady whose wedding has been scheduled to hold today, 9th January 2021. It looks like a wedding invitation card of the new couple as it can be seen boldly on it that:
“ALH Yushu’a Suleiman WEDS Amina Mohammed.”
The man, the groom who is said to be 83 years old is set to marry a young bride who is only 16 years of age. This picture bothered me and made me to wonder what exactly is happening to this generation. I began to wonder what would be the reason why a young lady like her would agree to get married to an old man. How will a lady as young as this willingly allow an old man to be her husband? Is this normal?
Wait, for how many years will they be married? Didn’t she think about all these before getting married to someone enough to be her grandfather? How does she expect herself to cope when she’s finally 33 years old and his new husband clocks 100 years, is she indirectly planning to become a widower at a very tender age?
An exclusive screening tagged ‘An Evening With the Milkmaid’ will hold in Lagos at Terra Kulture on Sunday, January 10, 2021 at 5.00pm, with the Honourable Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, as the special guest of honour, and ace comedian Bright Okpocha a.k.a. Basketmouth as event compere.
In December 2020, The Milkmaid was announced by the 12-member Nigeria Official Selection Committee (NOSC) as Nigeria’s representative to the 93rd Oscars in the category of Best International Feature Film, following a statutory vetting and subsequent voting of entries received from Nigerian filmmakers at home and abroad.
Written, produced and directed by Desmond Ovbiagele, The Milkmaid is a Hausa language-based thriller spotlighting insurgency and extremism, especially as they affect women and children in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Technically crafted to the highest international cinematic standards, the film showcases the natural beauty of Nigeria’s topography such as the Mambilla Plateau in Taraba state, while highlighting the richness of the subregion’s colourful Hausa and Fulani cultures.
Starring Maryam Booth, Anthonieta Kalunta, and Gambo Usman Kona, with US-based Nigerian surgeon Dr. Oluseun Sowemimo as its Executive Producer, the film follows Aisha, a Fulani milkmaid, searching for the whereabouts of her younger sister, Zainab after a forced separation.
Dire personal circumstances force her to approach the extremists who were responsible for their predicament in the first instance, but she is determined to find her despite the compromises she must make to do so.
However, her quest to recapture her serene past proves to be unexpectedly complicated in a world whose seething conflict provides several paths to becoming a victim with typically irreversible consequences.
The Milkmaid received efiveight nominations at the 16th edition of the Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAA) in December 2020, winning awards for Best Film, Best Supporting Actress, Best Nigerian Film, Best Film in an African Language, and Achievement in Make-up.
Irwin Rivera is being held without bail after allegedly stabbing his sisters on Jan. 7 as they slept in his home, according to online records and ESPN.
UFC fighter Irwin Rivera was arrestedThursday, Jan. 7 for allegedly stabbing his two sisters in Boynton Beach, Fla.
According to online records, the 31-year-old mixed martial artist has been charged with two counts of premeditated murder in the first degree. However, according to an incident report obtained by ESPN, he has been charged with two counts of attempted murder.
He was taken into custody by the Boynton Beach Police Department with no bond set.
Per ESPN’s report, a 22-year-old woman and 33-year-old woman were both found alive with multiple stab wounds and taken to the hospital. The younger woman suffered wounds to her head, back and arm, while the older woman was stabbed on her face, back, arms and hands.
Irwin Rivera
Documents show that Irwin fled the scene but was later apprehended and confessed to police, “I killed my sisters.” Police say that the athlete, who used a “brass knuckle knife” in the alleged incident, told authorities he was compelled by a “higher power.” In the report, one of the sisters told police that the women were sleeping in Irwin’s extra room when they awoke to him stabbing them repeatedly with the knife.
Following the arrest, the UFC released a statement obtained by ESPN saying he will not be offered a fight at this time and that his management has since informed the organization that Irwin has “been exhibiting behavior consistent with mental health issues.”
The statement continued, “The allegations are extremely troubling and the organization is currently gathering additional information. The investigation is ongoing and any potential next steps including disciplinary action or medical attention will be determined upon the conclusion.”
Irwin, the onetime Titan FC Bantamweight champion, most recently fought in September, losing a split decision against Andre Ewell.
DaBaby was taken into custody for alleged firearm possession by the Beverly Hills Police Department, two months after the rapper’s brother was killed.
DaBaby has found himself in hot water after being arrested on Thursday, Jan. 7.
A spokesperson with the Beverly Hills Police Department tells E! News that a security guard from the Gucci store on Rodeo Drive called authorities at around 5 p.m. after allegedly witnessing a group of men, one of which was described as having a “handgun in his waistband,” walking on the famous street.
The spokesperson further shares, “Police made contact with the group after they entered a vehicle and were preparing to leave the area. An investigation followed and a 9MM handgun was found in the vehicle.”
DaBaby, née Jonathan Kirk, was subsequently taken into custody for alleged possession of a firearm. According to authorities, he is currently being booked at the Beverly Hills Police Department and has not yet been charged.
Da Baby
The rapper was previously arrested in January 2020 for alleged battery. At the time of the incident, E! News reported the artist allegedly got into an altercation with a club promoter after he was given $20,000, instead of the $30,000 promised. According to Pitchfork, the Miami-Dade Attorney’s Office dropped the battery charge in March. At the tail end of 2020, DaBaby mourned the loss of his older brother, Glenn Johnson, who died from a gunshot wound on Nov. 3.
Following the news of Johnson’s death, the musician took to social media to mourn the 34-year-old. He shared the lyrics from his song “Intro,” writing on his Instagram Story, “My brother be thinkin’ that we don’t love him and let him struggle like we ain’t family /Like I won’t give up all I got to see you, n—-a.”
Amber Heard’s attorney released a statement in response to Johnny Depp’s legal team’s claim that the actress didn’t donate the $7 million she received as part of their divorce settlement.
Amber Heard is speaking out about Johnny Depp’s legal team’s claim that she hasn’t donated the money from their divorce settlement to charities, as she promised she would in 2016.
According to a new report by The Daily Mail published Thursday, Jan. 7, the Pirates of the Caribbean actor’s lawyers say they intend to use the allegation as part of their efforts to appeal British High Court judge Andrew Nichol’s decision in Depp’s defamation case against The Sun. In that case, Nichol sided with The Sun, arguing in his decision, “Her donation of the $7 million to charity is hardly the act one would expect of a gold-digger.”
In a statement to E! News, the Aquamanactress’ attorney Elaine Bredehoft confirms her client has yet to fulfill the $7 million pledge she made to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and the American Civil Liberties Union, citing financial reasons.
“Amber has already been responsible for seven figures in donations to charitable causes and intends to continue to contribute and eventually fulfill her pledge,” Bredehoft explains. “However, Amber has been delayed in that goal because Mr. Depp filed a lawsuit against her, and consequently, she has been forced to spend millions of dollars defending Mr. Depp’s false accusations against her.”
Amber Heard
In a statement to E! News, a Children’s Hospital Los Angeles spokesperson says, “Due to circumstances of the litigation, CHLA is legally precluded from sharing details about the case publicly.”
The ACLU did not return requests for comment.
Bredehoft also alleges that Depp’s legal representatives are purposefully speculating about the status of Heard’s donation to draw focus away from the actor’s ongoing legal woes.
She claims, “Mr. Depp’s effort to plant stories in the media criticizing Amber for not yet fulfilling all the donations she pledged to charity is yet another desperate attempt to divert attention from the UK Court’s findings relating to allegations of Mr. Depp committing domestic abuse and violence.”
Following Judge Nichol’s decision, Depp was asked to exit his role as Grindelwald in the film Fantastic Beasts. While he’s no longer starring in the Warner Bros. film, The Hollywood Reporter wrote at the time that Depp will still receive the full salary for the project.
Mads Mikkelsen is now set to apprise the rolein the third installment of the movie, which is based on J.K. Rowling’s books.
Meanwhile, Depp is currently suing Heard for defamation in the British High Court, arguing that the actress’ allegations of domestic abuse in The Washington Post were all part of an “elaborate hoax.” Because of the alleged damage her accusations caused his career, Depp is suing Heard for defamation and asking for damages in excess of $50,000,000. Amber denied the allegations, with her attorney claiming to E! News that Depp was trying to “silence” her.
E! News reached out to Depp’s rep and legal team for comment. They did not hear back.
As rumors about Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s future spread, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star took to Instagram to reflect on how she’s focusing on her health in 2021.
Kim Kardashian is ready to take on the new year.
In a Jan. 5 Instagram post, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star reflected on how she’s starting 2021 by focusing on her health. “Sister Boot Camp starts this month!” the 40-year-old wrote. “Plant Based and Two workouts a day for 30 days to get our mind and body right this year.”
Kim—who revealed she stopped eating meat in February 2020—also posted footage from her “sister workout” at her gym, tagging sibling Khloe Kardashian and fitness trainer Melissa Alcantara.
While Kim has a concrete exercise and nutrition plan in place for 2021, her future with Kanye West remains unclear. Even though nothing is official, a source told E! News “divorce has been discussed.” However, the insider said, “Kim wants more than anything for their relationship to work.”
“Kim and Kanye are still trying to work through things in their relationship,” the source added. “They are in therapy working on their marriage.”
Kanye & kim
When it comes to their children—North West, 7, Saint West, 5, Chicago West, 2, and Psalm West, 20 months—an insider told E! News Kim and Kanye “are amicable and fully aligned.” In fact, another source claimed Kim hasn’t made any final decisions because she wants to ensure she’s doing what’s right for her children.
“It’s not about the marriage anymore,” this insider added. “She’ll always care for Kanye, but it’s over between them. Kim is only focused on what’s best for the kids. It’s a tough decision for her and she’s figuring it out.”
Most recently, the rapper has been spending time in Wyoming while the KKW Beauty founder has been living in Calabasas, Calif. with their kids. Although, a source told NBC the couple did spend some of the holidays together and did take a trip for Kim’s birthday and to the Dominican Republic in late 2020.
Kim and Kanye met in 2002, but it would take a decade for their friendship to turn into a romance. They welcomed their first child together in 2013 and tied the knot the following year. “Any time I was around her or saw her, it was a magnetic attraction to this force of energy,” Kanye recalled on E!’s True Hollywood Story. “She was good, pure, happy, loving, brave, courageous, strong.”

Dr. Dre is currently being hospitalized at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after suffering a brain aneurysm
Dre suffered the aneurysm on Monday and was rushed by ambulance to Cedars and was taken directly to ICU, where he remains as at today.
Our sources say the 55-year-old music mogul is stable and lucid, but doctors don’t know what caused the bleeding and they are doing a battery of tests.
As you know, Dre is in the middle of a very contentious divorce with his estranged wife, Nicole. As we reported, Nicole wants $2 million a month in temporal spousal support and $5 million for attorney fees, but Dre says he’s been paying all of her expenses so the $2 million demand was outlandish. He also says the attorney’s fees are outrageous since her lawyers have only been working on the case for a few months.
And, as we reported, Nicole wants a judge to reject the prenuptial agreement she signed in 1996, claiming Dre ripped it up early on in the marriage. Dre strongly denies that.
There’s a hearing Wednesday in downtown L.A. on both issues. Obviously, Dre will not be attending and we’re assuming the judge will continue the matter.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are reportedly getting divorced. The reality star is done with the rapper as the pair have “lived separate lives” in the past few months. Page Six reported that sources told them that
“They are keeping it low-key but they are done”. Another source says “Kim has hired Laura Wasser and they are in settlement talks.”
It is important to remember that Kanye tweeted about wanting to divorce his wife since November, 2018. Wasser represented Kim with her past divorce to NBA star Kris Humphries.
Kim and Kanye
It is worthy to note that Kim has not been seen wearing her engagement ring lately and she currently stays with their four children in LA. Also, Kanye has been at his Wyoming ranch. This is an indication that the couple have been separated for a while.
When it comes to Kanye’s appearance at Kim’s recent birthday celebrations, Page Six says “He showed up late and left early, he wouldn’t appear in any of their Instagram shots. All he did was bring over the hologram of her father Robert Kardashian, then got out of there as fast as he could.”

Manchester United are considering their options as the Red Devils are set to storm the transfer market to bring in world-class players to massively improve the overall quality of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s squad as they look to challenge for the Premier League title.
According to recent reports, Manchester United Board are ready to make a massive move to complete the signing of Borussia Dortmund’s superstar ,Erling Haaland, as the Norwegian international striker has been identified as a major attacking target.
Manchester United boss , Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is keen to further improve his attacking ranks and has now decided to drop his interest in Jadon Sancho in order to complete the massive signing of Erling Haaland , who has been linked with a move to Manchester United for a long time.
Erling Haaland was linked with a move to the Old Trafford whilst he was still at RB Salzburg but the Striker opted for Dortmund. However, Manchester United are now set to move all out in order to complete the signing of the attacker this year.
20-years Old Erling Haaland is already regarded as one of the most feared strikers in Europe as his impressive and scintillating goalscoring form for Dortmund has continued to attract the interest of several top clubs around the continent.
However, Manchester United will have to pay a massive transfer fee in the region of £77million if they are to complete the signing of Erling Haaland this year. Although, Dortmund are unlikely to accept any transfer bid for Haaland in this winter transfer window, the Norwegian international striker will have a release clause in the region of £55million which is a lot cheaper if he stays at Borussia Dortmund till the summer of 2022.
(CNN)Beyoncé will offer $5,000 grants to help people facing foreclosures or evictions due to the housing crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
People can apply for the grants beginning January 7, 2021, the singer announced on her website Tuesday. Grants will be sent out to the 100 people selected in late January.
“Beyoncé is continuing her heart of support and helping where needed most. Phase Two of the BeyGOOD Impact Fund will now help those impacted by the housing crisis,” according to a news release. “The housing moratorium is set to end on December 26th, resulting in mortgage foreclosures and rental evictions. Many families are impacted, due to the pandemic that resulted in job loss, sickness and overall economy downturn,” the release said.
Beyonce
‘I have $4 to my name.’ An extended eviction ban isn’t enough for some struggling renters.An estimated 9.2 million renters who have lost income during the pandemic are behind on rent, according to an analysis of Census data by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
Once the moratoriums are lifted, many of these renters will be expected to pay their entire back rent or come up with some sort of payment plan with their landlord — or they could face losing their homes.
Those who apply for the grants must submit the necessary documentation to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) by the deadline.
This is not Beyoncé’s first effort to help communities hurt by the pandemic. BeyGOOD has teamed up with the NAACP to support Black-owned small businesses impacted by the pandemic, so far providing 250 businesses with $10,000 grants.
In May, she set up mobile Covid-19 testing sites with her mother, Tina Knowles-Lawson, in their hometown of Houston, Texas. She also donated, in partnership with Jack Dorsey’s Start Small fund, $6 million to coronavirus relief in April.
JAY-Z may be making another power move. The Roc Nation mogul has reportedly been in talks to sell his music streaming service TIDAL to Jack Dorsey’s digital-payment company, Square Inc.
According to Bloomberg, JAY-Z has privately met with Dorsey multiple times during the pandemic. The potential deal is part of a push for Square to diversify. However, the negotiations may not result in an actual transaction.
JAY-Z acquired TIDAL from Swedish company Aspiro in March 2015 for a reported $56 million, but the streaming service has struggled to keep up with competitors, including Spotify and Apple Music. TIDAL hasn’t reported subscriber figures since 2016 when it had 3 million paying customers. TIDAL has benefited in the past from its exclusive album releases including Beyoncé’s LEMONADE, Kanye West’s The Life of Pablo, and Rihanna’s ANTI.
JAY-Z
This is not the first talk of a TIDAL acquisition. Back in 2016, there were reports that Apple and Samsung had interest in acquiring the streamer, but both companies denied the rumors.
Dorsey, who is also CEO of Twitter, has maintained a close friendship with JAY-Z and Beyoncé. They were photographed in the Hamptons in August and then again in November in Hawaii with Sean Penn.
In April, Dorsey’s #startsmall partneredwith Beyoncé’s BeyGOOD foundation to provide $6 million in funding to organizations providing mental wellness services during the coronavirus crisis.
Along with JAY-Z, TIDAL’s co-owners include high-profile artists like Beyoncé, Rihanna, Alicia Keys, and Madonna. The service is available in 53 countries and offers more than 60 million songs and 250,000 videos.
Juventus forward, Cristiano Ronaldo has picked up the 2020 Golden Foot Award he won by beating archrival, Lionel Messi and nine other players, describing it as an honour.
Cristiano Ronaldo
“I am honoured to win the @goldenfootofficial and to be immortalised on the Champion Promenade in Monaco, together with some of the greatest football legends of all time!” the Portugal international tweeted on Sunday after picking up the 18th Golden Foot Award in which he also beat Lewandowski, Neymar, Mohamed Salah, Sergio Ramos, Gerard Pique, Sergio Aguero, Giorgio Chiellini and Arturo Vidal. “I am truly humbled and want to thank the fans all over the world for having voted for me.”
The 35-year-old former Manchester United striker was announced as the winner of the award introduced in 2003 after he got the highest votes from fans. “The star of Juventus and the Portuguese national team received the highest number of votes among the 10 contenders selected this year,” the organisers had said in a statement on its website, confirming the former Real Madrid player as the winner of the prize.
Unlike previous years, the awards ceremony, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, will take a different shape for the event which “usually takes place in the heart of the Principality of Monaco.”
The awards ceremony and gala will take place on December 28th, 2020
Ronaldo netted 37 goals and six assists in 46 matches during the 2019/2020 campaign, a fine form that saw him shortlisted for the 2020 FIFA Awards won by Bayern Munich’s Polish striker, Roberto Lewandowski.
Juventus president, Andrea Agnelli, equally scooped the first Golden Foot Prestige prize.
“He is thus one of the most successful presidents in the history of international football,” the organisers added.
The Manchester City and Atletico Madrid strikers appeared topless in the bed with the same woman in the photos which were discovered last week.
According to the UK Sun, the Bible was in one of two bags handed in by a woman to a charity shop in Marylebone, Central London.
The report said the two bags were handed in in May, but the photos were not spotted until staff started sorting them last week.
A source said: “The pictures were instantly recognisable as Jesus and Costa – and both were with the same woman.
“They were both laughing and seemed incredibly relaxed in her company while larking around on pillows without their shirts on. The pictures appear to have been taken at different times.
“The charity shop normally gets jigsaws and second-hand clothes, so this was certainly a change from that.”
The source said: “A woman of Spanish or Latin appearance dropped off the bags.
Diego Costa
“She said a friend left the UK and wanted to get rid of a few bits and pieces. The woman who brought the bags in has never been back so no one knew what to do with the pics.”
One photo showed a heavily tattooed Jesus pulling a face for the camera.

Gabriel Jesus
Gabriel Jesus, 23, who joined Manchester City in 2017 from Palmeiras, broke up with his ex-girlfriend, model Fernanda Queiroz earlier this year.
Ibadan The place of my dreams The beautiful wife I keep fantasising her welcome. The reality of imaginations in pandemic world. A shore of possibility amidst impossibilities.
Ibadan The thirst that itches the throat to the coolness of your well water The parade of chocolate micras from Challenge to Mokola. The wall of Jericho around Bodija. The carpet of tar from Ashi to Adamasingba.
Ibadan My soul is calm to breathe your air Like the reincarnation of an Abiku that is un relentlessly your heir Even if it is for the ridiculousness of your fare I’m glad to tell you I’ll die here.
