The actors' conditions are described as severe, with Mr Ibu's legs being amputated again.

Previously, Mr Ibu had sought public assistance in October due to his health struggles, and notable figures like Davido, P-Square, Tunde Ednut, and Bukola Saraki had stepped in to cover his medical bills.

Stella Maris, Mr Ibu's wife, accused Jasmine of interference and making malicious statements. In response, Mr Ibu's son, Daniel, refuted the claims, asserting his control over the actor's account and dispelling accusations of financial misconduct.

The unfolding family controversy adds another layer of difficulty to Mr Ibu's already challenging health situation.

The Vatican has officially approved the possibility of offering blessings to same-sex couples.

The decision, sanctioned by Pope Francis, represents a significant shift in the Catholic Church’s stance on LGBTQ+ issues.

The new document, released by the Vatican’s doctrine office, emphasizes that individuals seeking God’s love and mercy shouldn’t be subjected to an exhaustive moral analysis to receive blessings.

While maintaining marriage as a lifelong sacrament between a man and a woman, the Vatican now permits non-liturgical blessings for same-sex couples under certain conditions.

The directive strictly forbids associating the blessings with civil unions or wedding ceremonies and underscores that such requests should not be categorically denied.

“Even when a person’s relationship with God is clouded by sin, he can always ask for a blessing, stretching out his hand to God,” the document said.

LGBTQ+ advocacy groups have hailed the move as a significant step toward greater inclusivity within the Church.

However, it has also sparked controversy among traditionalists, with some labelling the decision as heresy.
