Actor Kalu Ikeagwu Drags Wife To Court -- How She Denied Me Sex And Poured Water On Me While I Slept”

Posted: 31 May 2022 02:00 AM PDT

For deserting their matrimonial home, Nollywood actor Kalu Ikeagwu has taken his wife to court.

Recall that Kalu Ikeagwu and Ijeoma tied the knot in November 2015 and had their church wedding in June 2016.

They have two children, a son between them and Ijeoma's daughter whom he had adopted.

The marriage has now crashed as the actor recently told an Ikeja High Court how his estranged wife, Ijeoma, allegedly deserted their matrimonial home and prevented him from gaining access to their two children.

The actor also seeks full custody of his three-year-old son and ten-year-old stepdaughter.

Under cross-examination by the respondent's counsel, S.I. Amedu, Ikeagwu said his wife packed out of his matrimonial and sent him a mail that she was going to her father's house in Enugu.

"She told me she was at her father's place in Enugu and four days later, I saw her at the airport in Lagos, heading to God knows where. In the mail she sent, she said she was In Enugu."

Ikeagwu also denied that he sent his wife and kids out of the house and failed to provide for their upkeep.

The actor further told the court that his wife denied him sex and poured water on him while he was asleep.

"After the birth of our son, she has refused to have sex with me. I was not aware she lost the pregnancy due to an infection as I did not give her any infection.
"Till date, I have not seen any report attached to a document that she lost a baby through STD. Though I did not ask her why she lost the baby," he said.

Ikeagwu said he stopped sending money to the children for upkeep and maintenance because his wife denied him being the father to his stepdaughter.

He added that this was after she accused him of attempting to sleep with the child, and she failed to acknowledge the money he sent to her.

On why he was seeking custody of his stepdaughter whom he had earlier sought for revocation of guardianship, the actor said he had information that his wife wanted to relocate the children.
Justice Christopher Balogun had earlier ordered the children to play with their father in court and ordered the respondent to present the receipts of the children's tuition fees in court.

The judge explained that it would be difficult to give him custody of their daughter while the mother is alive.
"The Supreme Court ruled that it is not the wealth of a father that the children of that age need, they need the care and attention of their biological mother.
"The only reason the girl child should not be in the custody of the mother is if the mother is mentally derailed or the issue of infidelity is involved.
"Assuming the girl starts her monthly period, you as a father do not know what to do. You will be scared of the blood. A female girl is delicate. Your own case is worse because an accusation has been levelled against you," he said.
The judge adjourned the case until June 23 for a continuation of the hearing.

Indian Rapper, Sidhu Moose Wala Shot Dead Aged 28

Posted: 30 May 2022 11:30 PM PDT

 

After being fatally shot, a day after his security cover was withdrawn, popular Indian rapper Sidhu Moose Wala has died.

The death of 28 years old Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, who was killed on Sunday evening, May 29,  while driving his car in Mansa, a district in Punjab state, northern India, is being investigated by authorities in India.



Moose Wala was driving with two of his friends in an SUV to the village Jawahar Ke in Punjab, when they were attacked.

The rapper's SUV was sprayed with bullets and he was found slumped on his seat and bleeding heavily. He was taken to hospital where he was declared dead.


Punjab police said that the attack seemed to be due to a gang-war. Police also said that a Canada-based gangster has claimed responsibility for the attack.

"Lawrence Bishnoi gang is involved in this murder. Lucky, member of the gang has taken responsibility from Canada," Punjab DGP VK Bhawra told the media. He said the name of Moose Wala's manager Shaganpreet had figured in the murder of one Vicky Middukhera last year.

This murder appeared to be in retaliation of Middukhera's murder, the top police officer said.

Punjab Police has also formed a special investigation team to probe the incident.

The singer had faced criticism from several quarters for promoting gun culture in his songs. He had also been booked for allegedly promoting violence through his song "Sanju".

He was booked under the Arms Act and the Disaster Management Act in Barnala after photographs showing him firing an AK-47 rifle at a firing range during the COVID-19 lockdown appeared on social media.


The singer had joined Congress in December last year. In the 2022 Punjab Assembly elections, Sidhu Moose Wala had contested from Mansa on a Congress ticket. He was defeated by Aam Aadmi Party's Dr Vijay Singla.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said that he was deeply shocked saddened by the news. "Deeply shocked and saddened by the murder of promising Congress leader and talented artist, Sidhu Moosewala. My heartfelt condolences to his loved ones and fans from across the world," Mr Gandhi tweeted.

Congress leader Charan Singh Sapra said the state government and Chief Minister must come clean on what basis Moose Wala's security cover was removed. "The government has to answer," he told NDTV.

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Sunday said that those involved in the attack on singer Sidhu Moose Wala won't be spared. The Aam Aadmi Party leader also urged everyone to remain calm.

Yoruba names with meanings A-Z

Posted: 30 May 2022 09:00 AM PDT

Workplace suitability used to be a determining factor for parents when choosing Yoruba names for their children. Parents often agonised about the possibility of children losing job opportunities because a boss couldn't pronounce their names.

While for the current generation it is comforting to know that many successful artists have made waves, even with their native Yoruba names. A couple of examples are Fela Anikulapo-Kuti (Fela is short for Olufela, which means God enlarges wealth) and Jide Kosoko (Jide means to be awoken).

Whether you're expecting a new arrival, or someone in your family is due to welcome a child, choosing a name can be a daunting task.rom the surrounding Yoruba traditions to a helpful list of Yoruba boys, girls and unisex names, you'll find everything you need to know about Yoruba names right here.

Facts about naming children in Yorubaland
The Yorubas have one of the most interesting and the most complicated naming traditions in the world. A private child naming ceremony is often organized seven days after the birth of the child.

There, the child's unique identity is unveiled. In pre-colonial West Africa, parents from the Yoruba ethnic group relied on traditional priests to decide the child's destiny and to choose a name that reflects their pathway. Then a public ceremony was held, to celebrate the arrival of the child with friends and family.

However, things have changed in the twenty-first century, especially with the advent of Christianity and Islam. Parents, grandparents and, in rare cases, family friends suggest beautiful Yoruba names for the baby. Often these names describe the circumstance surrounding the baby's conception and birth.

Some of the most delightful names available in this majority South Western and North-central Nigerian ethnic group are referred to as praise names (popularly called Oriki names). Such names are often bestowed upon children who have brought exceptional joy and pride to the family. Examples of Oriki names include Ayinla, Ajoke, Alao, Akano, Asabi, Ajani, Akanmu, Amope, Anike, Abike, Abake, Alao, Adio, Akanni, Amoke, Arike, Akano, Agbeke, Ajin-un, Alake, Awero, Abebi, Abeun, Aremu, Alani, Ayinke and Ìshọ̀lá.

Also notable is that Yorubas have interesting naming traditions for twins. In such cases, names are predetermined by the order of the baby's arrival. Taiwo (a name that loosely translates to 'pre-tasted the world') is the name given to the first twin. The second twin is named Kehinde, a name meaning 'the one who lagged behind'.

Here are foods to include in your keto diet plan

Posted: 30 May 2022 08:00 AM PDT

A keto diet is a low carb, high fat, and moderate protein diet that offers many health benefits.


Keto diet plan focuses on foods that provide a lot of healthy fats, an adequate amount of protein, and very few carbohydrates. This plan drastically reduces carbohydrate intake and replaces it with fats.

This places your body in a metabolic state called ketosis where the body burns fats and breaks them down into molecules called ketones for energy instead of breaking carbs into glucose which is the normal way the body generates energy.

Keto diet offers lots of health benefits including healthy weight loss, reduction in acne, reduced risk of type 2 diabetes and many more.

To maintain a keto diet plan, you need to know the foods you can eat. Here are some foods to include in your keto diet plan:

1. Cheese

Cheese is very low in carbohydrates, and very high in fat, making it a great fit for a ketogenic diet. It contains an adequate amount of protein and calcium.

There are different types of cheese you can include in your diet- blue cheese, brie, cheddar, goat cheese, cream cheese, etc.

2. Meat

Fresh meat contain no carbs, they are rich in vitamins B and also a great source of high-quality protein. Meat are considered ketogenic diet staples.

It is better to go for grass-fed meat like goat meat, cow meat, etc as they contain healthy fat.

3. Avocado

Avocados are rich in monosaturated fat, a healthy type of fat when eaten in moderation. It is also a great source of fibre and a wide array of vitamins, and minerals. It contains minimal protein and is another keto-friendly food.

4. Eggs

Eggs are high in protein, B vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Eggs contains zero carbs which makes them ideal for a keto diet. In addition, eggs have been found to trigger hormones that increase fullness.

It is important to eat whole eggs rather than egg whites alone since most of an egg's nutrients are found in the yoke. Although they contain cholesterol, eggs don't appear to cause any harm.

5. Unsweetened plant-based milk

Several varieties of plant-based milk like soy, almond, and coconut milk are keto-friendly. The unsweetened option of this plant-based milk does not contain sugar which makes them appropriate for keto diet.
