Posted: 16 Mar 2022 09:00 AM PDT

A medical doctor, Clement Vhirterhire, has alleged that a chocolate-coloured- material was found in the late Sylvester Oromoni's stomach.

According to Clement, late Sylvester Oromoni Jnr died of pneumonia leading to sepsis.

Vhirterhire narrated his findings before Coroner Magistrate Mikhail Kadiri, who was conducting an inquest to unravel the cause of Oromoni Junior's death.

He said,

"I expect to see clear evidence of beating as to the cause of death.

Upon physical examination of the body, externally looking at the body I did not see any open injury.

I should be seeing evidence of significant bleeding in the abdominal cavity, by the time I opened these cavities, I did not see signs of beating.

Your Honour, I can't remember getting information of the boy being beaten with any instrument. I did not see any evidence of ruptured internal organs."

He said he called Mr. Oromoni to tell him his findings, and explained, "At that point, the father said, "In the process of being beaten that he was forced to drink a substance."

"At that point, without such information but in the middle, I thought he might have ingested something.

"I opened the stomach, what I saw in the stomach was a chocolate- coloured-material."

Blind man who can use a computer gets scholarship in Canada

Posted: 16 Mar 2022 08:00 AM PDT

A man has defied odds and triumphed over a hurdle that some people with visual impairments confront when traversing the world.

Through perseverance and determination, Paul Okpanachi was awarded a scholarship to continue his studies in Canada.

Samuel Ayankoso, a companion of Paul's, sent Legit a note about how the two met at the American University in Cairo (AUC), Egypt, when Paul was on a scholarship.

During their post-graduate studies, Samuel's companion, Paul, who is a graduate of Kogi State University, was highly encouraging, according to Samuel.

With the help of a smart screen reader, he told Legit that Paul could even use a computer.

Samuel said:

"Before Paul left Nigeria in 2018 for his studies at AUC, he was an investigative journalist with the Kogi State news agency, and those at his workplace didn't want him to come for his masters. Yet, their salaries were not paid consistently by the Yahaya Bello government."

Paul returned to Nigeria after graduating from the AUC with a 3.67 CGPA, where he has been having a lot of troubles; his family was raided one night by robbers, and he had to fend them off.

Samuel said:

"In fact, he has been a victim of the alarming insecurity in our country. This was what happened: Paul and his wife were robbed on a bad evening in front of their rented apartment in Abuja. They collected his wife's phone and despite being blind, he tried his best to push the guys away from collecting his own phone too. Thank God he was not shot or harmed in the process."

Paul's luck turned around as he secured a fully-funded scholarship to continue his studies in Canada.

Posted: 16 Mar 2022 06:00 AM PDT

Korra Obidi's husband, Justin Dean has shared an emotional post following his failed relationship with wife, Korra Obidi.

In a lengthy post on Instagram, the father of two stated that he's been betrayed once again, yet his wife feels so unbothered about the entire saga.

He further stated that although it's hard, but he has decided to walk away from his marriage for the sake of his mental health.

In his words,

"I'm heartbroken! Anyone that knows me or watches me online knows that I'm a dedicated family man to both Korra and my children. This is honestly the hardest decision of my life, but necessary.

I'm walking away from this marriage for my mental health and to be the best version of myself. I must set a healthy example for my children. This has nothing do with postpartum depression.

I've been betrayed once again and she is unbothered, which pretty much summarizes our marriage. My apology to the all the young men and women that believed we had a "perfect marriage".

Marriage is based on mutual love, respect, humility, accountability, empathy, apologies and most of all effective communication to understand the other person's perspectives.

Likes and views shouldn't be the highlight of your relationship. Men: Your mental health matters! In order to be strong, you have to be happy."

In his words,

"I'm filing paper work this week. I will always be there for my children and wish her the best. This has absolutely nothing to do with post partum depression".
