"We have kids, we have love and we have to work through it all and come out stronger! Marriage isn't for arrogant and conceited people. Even the tongue and teeth fight at times, there is no perfect union but try to learn to say 'I 'm sorry, forgive me, I love you, I miss you, you are the best, I will be better etc' but saying that if it fails, you try again! Nah eba you dey soak?"

EFCC witness in Naira Marley’s fraud case submits report of exhibit in the singer’s phone

Posted: 03 Mar 2020 07:17 AM PST

The trial of Nigerian singer Azeez Fashola popularly known as Naira Marley, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) called in its second witness to testify against Azeez Fashola popularly known as Naira Marley, during the continuation of the singer's cyber fraud trial on Thursday February 27.

Naira Marley is facing an 11-count charge bordering on conspiracy, possession of counterfeit cards and fraud.

Testifying in court, EFCC's second witness Mr Anosike Augustine who is a mobile forensic expert with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), recalled how he analysed the contents of an iPhone 11 allegedly retrieved from Naira Marley during an investigation.

He told Justice Nicholas Oweibo of the Federal High Court in Lagos that he produced a report of his findings after extracting and analyzing the evidence recovered from the singer's phone.

However, after EFCC moved to submit the 30-page report, Naira Marley's counsel and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Olalekan Ojo objected to the tendering of the document.

Ojo insisted that it was not part of the documents front-loaded to the defence team and he was unaware of its contents.

Justice Oweibo subsequently adjourned the case to allow the defence and prosecution team to sort out and reconcile whether the report was front-loaded or not.

OAP Daddy Freeze speaks on people who go far to worship God, says they need their head examined

Posted: 03 Mar 2020 05:00 AM PST

Controversial Nigerian OAP Ifedayo Olarinde popularly known as Daddy Freeze has taken to his social media page to criticise people who travel far away from their homes to attend church services.

The OAP said that Christians claimed to be worshiping an omnipresent God, yet they travel to places as far as Ota in Ogun state and the Lagos Ibadan expressway every Sunday to worship him.

Daddy Freeze quoted a passage from the holy bible where Jesus Christ said that a time would come when worshippers would no longer need to visit different places to worship. He noted that it was either these people who travel far for church services do not know what omnipresent means or they needed their heads checked.

He also shared a photo with the meaning of the word, omnipresent, on it.

Countering his post, a commenter identified as doraslash told the radio personality that Jesus went to the temple when he knew that he could gather people in his house every Sabbath day. According to her, he knew the essence of the temple.

Responding to her statement, Daddy Freeze said that Jesus did not have a house, unlike present-day pastors. According to him, Jesus did not need a house because he knew that a time would come when there would be no need for a temple.

The media personality noted that Christianity has no need for temple buildings as God does not live in temples made by human hands.

Yul Edochie says he didn't kneel when he proposed to his wife

Posted: 03 Mar 2020 02:30 AM PST

Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie believes it's not a big deal for a man to kneel to propose to a woman.

The actor expressed his opinion on the controversial subject of kneeling for women barely a month after his father, Pete Edochie said it is totally wrong for a man to kneel when proposing to a woman.

The 73-year-old actor had argued in a video interview that if a man bends his knees to propose, the woman would become the head of the family.

But his son, Yul Edochie in an interview with Pulse said kneeling for a woman is not that serious, even though he believes his father's view on the matter was right to a large extent.

He said, "To a large extent, the man is right. You know, it's not our culture. It is foreign for people to kneel. But it is really no big deal. It is not that serious. Whether you kneel down to propose or lie down to propose, it doesn't change anything. A woman who is going to leave you would leave you. The woman who doesn't respect you would not respect you and the one who loves you and respects you will be with you whether you kneel or you lie or you fly".

Asked if he knelt for his wife when he proposed to her he said, "I didn't kneel because… well I didn't have to. My wife didn't ask me to kneel for me to propose. We got married many years ago in 2004".
