Lady takes to the micro-blogging platform, Twitter to gush over the manner her brother takes care of his wife despite her condition.
According to her, her brother’s wife lost her arms and legs during childbirth as a result of a health complication Sepsis which has to do with the presence of harmful microorganisms in the blood or other tissues and the body’s response to their presence, potentially leading to the malfunctioning of various organs, shock, and death.
Praying to have a husband as sweet as her brother, she shared a screenshot of the message he sent her after he did a superb makeover on her face.
Sharing the touching note, she wrote:
“My brother wife lost her arms and legs during child birth and he sent me this message today 🥺 lord please bless me with a husband like this. Definition of through thick or thin! 😠and he did a damn good job on her makeupâ€

Mental health is a menace to society and actress, Eniola Badmus has shed light on why people do not like to discuss it.
The former plus-size actress shared a rather lengthy post via her social media platform stating the reasons people do not enjoy discussing their struggles – mental health, depression, and the likes, and using herself as an example.
According to her, a lot of people do not care about what you feel or are dealing with until your death. Mostly when you share your struggles with them they shockingly think that you deserve it, as you must have done something bad at some point in your life.
She recounted past events of a time in her life when she confided in a friend about her mental health struggles. Unknown to her, the said friend had gone on to tell several other friends and they all just mocked her.
She, however, urged those out there struggling with mental health to not be scared to get help and hope that someday, someone will be strong enough to stand by them.
China has denied a report that it asked Moscow to delay its invasion of Ukraine until after the Winter Olympics, denouncing it as “fake newsâ€Â and a very despicable†attempt to divert attention and shift blame over the conflict.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin also repeated China’s accusations that Washington provoked the war by not ruling out NATO membership for Ukraine.
We hope the culprit of the crisis would reflect on their role in the Ukraine crisis, take up their responsibilities, and take practical actions to ease the situation and solve the problem instead of blaming others, Wang told reporters at a daily briefing.
The New York Times report is purely fake news, and such behaviors of diverting attentions and shifting blames are very despicable,†Wang said.
The Times article cited a Western intelligence report considered credible by officials.
The report indicates that senior Chinese officials had some level of direct knowledge about Russia’s war plans or intentions before the invasion started last week,†the Times wrote.
Russian President Vladimir Putin met with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping in Beijing on February 4, hours before the Games’ opening ceremony. Following that, the sides issued a joint statement in which they declared friendship between the two states has no limits, there are no forbidden’ areas of cooperation.
In that statement, China also endorsed Russia’s opposition to further NATO expansion and demand that it respects the sovereignty, security, and interests of other countries.†Russia, for its part, reaffirmed its support for China’s claim over Taiwan, the self-governing island Beijing threatens to annex by force if necessary.
Russia launched its attack on Ukraine on 24 February, four days after the end of the Games. On 21 February, Vladimir Putin recognised the independence of separatist-held territories of eastern Ukraine and ordered in troops.
The Times said it wasn’t clear whether the communication about an invasion took place between Xi and Putin or at a lower level, but that the intelligence report indicated that senior Chinese officials had some level of direct knowledge about Russia’s war plans or intentions before the invasion started last week.â€
China is the only major government that hasn’t criticized Moscow’s attack on Ukraine and has also ruled out joining the United States and European governments in imposing financial sanctions on Russia. Instead, Beijing has endorsed the Russian argument that Moscow’s security was threatened by NATO’s eastern expansion.
China abstained in Wednesday’s U.N. General Assembly emergency session vote to demand an immediate halt to Moscow’s attack on Ukraine and the withdrawal of all Russian troops.
Regrettably, the draft resolution submitted to the General Assembly emergency special session for vote had not undergone full consultations with the whole membership, nor does it take into consideration the history and the complexity of the current crisis,†Wang said.
It did not highlight the importance of the principle of indivisible security or the urgency of promoting political settlement and stepping up diplomatic efforts,†he said. These are not in line with China’s consistent position. Therefore, we had no choice but to abstain in the voting.
Harrysong has officially joined the group chat of artists with Sextape.
The Reggae and Blues crooner took to his Instagram account on Wednesday, 9th of March, 2022 to reveal that a sex worker is blackmailing him with his sex tape
According to him, he has given the lady money in the past to shut up, but she is still demanding for more.
He revealed that this extortion has been happening for the past 6 years and he is tired of it which is another reason he is exposing himself to the World.
Ebonyi Governor David Umahi has defied his sack by High Court judgement, vowing he remains in charge.
He urged the people of the state to remain calm as he was sure of quashing the ruling at the Appeal Court.
Umahi, who described the Justice Inyang Ekwo judgement as a jungle justice, said he has forwarded a petition against the Judge to Nigerian Judicial Council (NJC).
He noted that the court lacked the power to remove him from office as he is covered by the immunity clause which protects him from any form of litigation that is not pre-election and tribunal matter.
Umahi also noted that there are two other similar cases on the defection of a governor by an Ebonyi High Court and another in Zamfara which ruled in favour of the governor.

He said: “The constitution stipulates that the only way whereby a governor can vacate his seat is either by death, resignation or impeachment by the House of Assembly.
“There is no other provision that empowers a hatchet man to turn the constitution upside down.
“I have listened to the judgement of Ekwo and it is very obvious that he was on a mission. He was making all efforts to upturn the rulings of the Appeal and Supreme courts on issues like this.
“We have heard the rumours before now that he was determined to give judgement against all known laws and the constitution to embarrass the APC and the Federal governmentâ€.
“For me, I do not feel worried but I feel so sorry for the judiciary. The executive may have a problem, the legislature may have a problem, but the moment justice could be purchased then we are in trouble in this country. And the ruling this afternoon is clear evidence that this country is in trouble.
“And let me tell you that this same judge has over 10 cases against Ebonyi State Government with him and you can imagine what he is going to rule. We have petitioned him to NJC and we will follow it up to ensure that this man is brought to justiceâ€
“I want you to disregard the judgement, it is null and void there is a subsisting judgement in Ebonyi and Zamfara states. So, we have chosen the one to obey. We will not obey his ruling.â€

RCCG, therefore, asked that its parishes send the details of its nominated coordinators for the office to Odesola within two weeks of receipt of the letter.
Nigeria’s Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo is a member and pastor of the church. Although Osinbajo has not declared his interest in the 2023 presidential race, different groups have been soliciting Nigerians’ support for the vice-president.
In January, a group called the Concerned Citizens of Nigeria launched an online petition urging Nigerians to persuade him to contest the presidency in 2023.

“Otherwise, it’s Harry walking his dogs or riding his bicycle. I don’t understand what they’re doing.
“They live alone in a 26-room house they don’t go anywhere and they don’t do anything. I don’t know what Harry does besides walking his dogs and riding his bike.â€
When asked by Dan Wootton if he is scared of being sued by Meghan, he said: “Well they can sue me but what are they going to get I don’t have millions of dollars.â€
He also slammed Harry and said: “This man abandoned his country and he expects them to treat him like a royal. He shouldn’t be entitled to any of this stuff. And what he has done to the queen is unforgivable.â€
Talking about the couple’s choice to not attend the upcoming royal memorial, Thomas slammed Harry, saying: “I think its the cruellest, meanest thing he can do.

Talking about the recent row between his two daughters, Meghan and Samantha Markle, he explained that he loves them both but is willing to take a stand against Meghan in court.
He continued: “I love both of my daughters, I’m not happy with what one of my daughters is going, but I don’t know what caused her to do this.
“But she’s telling lies, she’s telling lies about me and my son. So, I have no problem facing her in court and disputing what she has to say.
“It will be the first time I’ve seen her in four years.â€
He added: “I’ve been trying for almost four years to get to see my daughter and her ginger husband in a courtroom face to face.

Speaking on Thursday evening, Thomas Markle told the host that he believes that his son-in-law, Prince Harry, is responsible for his daughter Samantha’s Twitter account getting shut down.
After making the allegation live on air, he added: “If he’s shutting down everyone going after Meghan there won’t be any Twitter left.â€
Dan asked: “So you think Harry has made a direct complaint about Samantha’s Twitter account?â€
Thomas answered: “Yes, that’s the understanding. He knows the person who runs Twitter.â€
Thomas Markle also suggested to Harry and Meghan how they can do some good in the world. He accused them of not doing enough good with their charity.

A Russian court has extended the detention of US basketball star Brittney Griner for another two months over drugs charge.
The 31-year-old has been held in Moscow since February when customs officials allegedly found cannabis oil in her luggage. The crime carries a maximum 10-year jail sentence.
Hillary Clinton had called for her release, after re-tweeting a BBC article about the player’s predicament. But the Moscow court announced on Thursday it was keeping her in custody.
“The court granted the request of the investigation and extended the period of detention of the US citizen Griner until May 19,†the court said, according to Tass.
Arguably the greatest female basketball player of all time, the double Olympic gold medallist has been called the “Tom Brady of her sportâ€.
Ms. Griner went to Russia to play during the US league’s off-season.
In one of the last public sightings of her, captured on CCTV, the player is seen walking through security at a Moscow airport trailing a small, black suitcase.
Ekaterina Kalugina, a member of Public Monitoring Commission, a semi-official body with access to Russian prisons, told Russian news agency TASS Ms Griner was sharing a cell with two other women with no previous convictions.
She said Ms. Griner’s “only issue†was that the prison beds were too short for her tall frame.
The US State Department said in a statement that it is doing everything it can to help her.
A spokesperson for the State Department told the BBC on Thursday that US diplomats are “closely engaged on this case and in frequent contact with Brittney Griner’s legal teamâ€.
“We insist the Russian government provide consular access to all US citizen detainees in Russia, including those in pre-trial detention, as Brittney Griner is.â€
The official added that Russia has “consistently†denied access to Americans held in Russian jails.
“Russia must abide by its legal obligations and allow us to provide consular services for US citizens detained in Russia,†they continued.
The Obi of Awka Ancient Kingdom, His Imperial Majesty, the Eze Uzu 111 of Awka, Obi Austin Ndigwe, has given the immediate past governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano, Mrs Ebele Obiano, seven days ultimatum to appease the gods of the land, for fighting widow of late Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, Mrs Bianca Ojukwu, or face serious consequences.
Obi Ndigwe, said that by fighting the widow, Mrs Ebelechukwu Obiano, has desecrated Awka land, according to the custom and tradition.
The monarch in a press release he signed and distributed to journalists in Awka, on Friday, said he has given Mrs Obiano seven days to publicly apologise to the entire Igbo people or face serious consequences.
He said the actions of the wife of the former governor was sacrilegious, and that as the monarch of the town, he will have to appease the gods of Awka land to avoid calamities.
The monarch also said: “She should also tender an unreserved apology to the new Governor of Anambra State, Professor Chukwuma Soludo for her disgraceful conduct during his inauguration. The same should go for the chief judge of the state who was conducting the swearing-in when she descended.

“This grave sin was committed in the land of Awka which is known for peace and unity. Therefore, as the traditional ruler of the people and chief custodian of our culture, I am under obligation to perform some sacrifices to cleanse our land of this filth and pollution and to appease the gods.â€
The Obi of Awka said he has long spoken with Bianca Ojukwu who told him that what angered her was that Mrs Obiano walked up to her and called her unprintable names, including querying her presence at the swearing-in ceremony.
Ndigwe added that Mrs Obiano’s action was not only against Mrs Ojukwu, but against the late Ojukwu, who is the founder of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), who his widow came to represent.
“It must be pointed out that Bianca was not at that ceremony as Bianca, but as a direct representative of our late father and leader, Chief Odumegwu Ojukwu, her late husband who pioneered APGA.
“Therefore, Ebele’s action of casting aspersion on her is an affront on the entire Igbo people. It was indeed on Odumegwu Ojukwu and not on Bianca as a person. This is an insult to Igbo and it must not go unpunished.
“It is on record that I took Obiano and his wife, Ebere to Bianca Ojukwu where they knelt down while seeking the party’s governorship ticket. Bianca endorsed Obiano and called on all APGA members including then Governor Peter Obi to support him.
“Mrs Ebele Obiano has only 7 days to apologise as demanded and directed or face serious consequences.â€
Some gunmen who are suspected to be herdsmen, have kidnapped two siblings who were on their way to the burial of their father in the Ekuku-Agbor area of Delta State.
The PUNCH reports that the two siblings were coming to their father’s burial on Friday when the gunmen accosted them and whisked them away.

“They were driving to Ekuku-Agbor when they were accosted by kidnappers, they were Fulani herdsmen who shot sporadically into the air, before they were whisked away.
“Mr Chukwuyem travelled down from Abuja on Friday for the burial of his father and called on one of their in-laws, Mr Etunim to pick him up but unfortunately they were kidnapped.
“They had contacted the family with an initial demand of N13 million ransom, which they later brought down to N5 million per person based on their last contact,†the family source said.
He lamented that the burial ceremony of the late Afam turned into a very painful ordeal as the family members went ahead to bury their father since they have fixed the date amidst anxiety and apprehension.
When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, DSP Bright Edafe said he was yet to get information as of the time of filing this report.
He said, “I have not gotten information on the incident, I will find out and get back to you.â€
