Posted: 11 Feb 2020 04:30 AM PST

Nollywood actress, Ibiwari Etuk took to social media to share her ordeal in the hands of kidnappers.

Ibiwari stated that she was kidnapped in January, but thankfully regained her freedom.

In her words;

"On the 6th, 7th and 8th of January 2020, I walked through the valley of the shadow of death but God didn't abandon me, he came through for me. That I came out alive and unhurt is a testimony. All I could do in those most terrifying days was plead for my life to those 4 boys of the underworld while praying to God to confuse them enough not to cause me bodily harm.

"I lost all my money since my 3 ATMs were in my car when I was taken with the car but I didn't care my life was most important. I was dehydrated and starved even though they offered me food and water I refused for fear of passing out. I couldn't sleep because of the terrifying sounds I hear right inside the bush both at night and in the day time notwithstanding the constant threat of being killed if the ransom they asked for wasn't paid.

"I cried until my eyes dried out, why are some HUMANS wicked? Why?
I still freak out a little when it's dark but I am fighting it with the help of the people around me. I am a strong woman not because I am literally strong but because I am still here and pushing on.

"So many went through this process and never came out alive to tell the tale.
Thank you, lord for everything indeed it ENDED IN PRAISE to your glory
I will forever worship and be grateful to you…"

Kind man pays N334k hospital bills for 6 stranded mums and babies

Posted: 11 Feb 2020 03:00 AM PST

A benevolent UK-resident has paid for the medical bills of six stranded new mothers at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital for the new mothers to be released.

According to Chris-Vincent Agyapong Febiri, the founding editor of Ghanacelebrities.com and Human Rights Advocate, his friend was left heart-wrenched by the state of the women when he arrived in Ghana and visited the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital.

Crippled by the disheartening condition of women who had delivered new babies but were being held by the hospital for unpaid bills, his friend donated GHC5,000 (N334,714.54) to defray the debts of the women.

We recovered N77.04 billion worth of stolen assets in 2019 – ICPC

"He paid 5,000 GHS for 6 women he does not know from anywhere—and they were soon discharged," Chris-Vincent disclosed.
Chris-Vincent added that his friend described " the joy on the faces of those women, as never seen."

His friend, however, wondered why the gap between the rich and the poor keeps widening in Ghana without any real government social interventions to cushion the poor.

Chris-Vincent's kind-hearted friend also quizzed why women after childbirth become stranded in a government hospital because they cannot pay their delivery bills and yet there is a National Health Insurance scheme said to be in place.

While details of Chris-Vincent's friend were not shared along with the post, he posted awe-inspiring images of his friend, his colleagues and the new mothers who were discharged after he paid GHC5,000.

Mercy Aigbe finally opens up on her failed marriage

Posted: 11 Feb 2020 02:30 AM PST

Nollywood actress and entrepreneur, Mercy Aigbe, has opened up on her failed marriage with estranged husband, Lanre Gentry. The single mom of two left the hotel owner on grounds of domestic violence.

In a new episode sighted on her Youtube channel, she recounted the terrible experience saying;

"The first time the slap came, it felt like I was dreaming. I wasn't expecting it and I was shocked beyond words. I didn't know it was going to happen but it happened. The begging would then come after that.

Once a man raises his hand to hit you, he is going to do it over and again. However, because it was my second attempt (at marriage), I was ready to make it work, even with all the violence. I was there hoping and praying. I just wanted a happy home.

"The incident that broke the camel's back was the one where I almost died. The beating was horrible. People often say actresses don't want to remain married. Who told them that? (You think) being a celebrity doesn't make me human? Does (being a celebrity) mean I don't want to have a happy home?

They say actresses are promiscuous but promiscuity is not (the exclusive preserve of) any profession. When mine (break-up) happened, it wasn't easy because I am a celebrity. I read a lot of things online. Some people even said I made it up. But, nobody can dictate to me how to live my life."
