Read Saint Obis' story of death. Men don't die in silence, speak up against toxic wives .Move away from it to save your life . By Zik Zulu Okafor His social life was blunted. Perhaps by his reticent disposition.His persona, two dimensional. To a distant public, he was upscale and cool . His manly bearing spoke loud. His onscreen image ironically amplified some idiosyncrasies ; heroics, romantic adventures and traits that did not gel with the mortal privacy that eerily define his quiet and lonely life. Saint Obi, real name, Obinna Nwafor, was shy, almost bordering on timidity and insecurity. He cherished the pleasantly tranquil interractions among a few friends. He would vanish at any outburst that could upset the poise of such small meetings. As he repeatedly told me, he just wanted to live a cool, quiet and fulfilled life. But, has he lived this cool and fulfilled life he envisioned ? I have my doubts. I tell Saint's story here with painful tears in my eyes ; because ...

THE last few years has been seen as a revolution in human sexual behaviour. Some good, others not so good. We have now reached the level where English words have changed their meaning. Marriage used to mean a union between a man and a woman. Today, it means union between two people of the same sex. The West has passed laws making this queer relationship legal. It is too early to know how this would affect children in future. The English word of what two homosexuals do when they say they make love is “buggering”, which is sometimes a synonym for sodomy. That behaviour has been frowned upon for centuries for all kinds of reasons. But members of the Press, the English establishment, writers, etc. who continually push the boundaries of morally acceptable behaviour have fought a successful war to legitimise what used to be aberrant behaviour. It is believed that about half of Tony Blair’s cabinet was from the GLBT (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender) community. A few years ago, the nor...

Actor Jeremy Renner , perhaps best known as Hawkeye in the Marvel Universe films , On Saturday he broke more than 30 bones when he was run over by his own snow plow at his Nevada home on New Year’s Day. The “Avengers” star spent more than two weeks in the hospital after the giant 14,000-lb (six-ton) vehicle rolled onto him as he was clearing a driveway. "These 30 plus broken bones will mend, grow stronger, just like the love and bond with family and friends deepens", the 52-year-old two-time Oscar nominee wrote on Instagram, thanking fans for their messages of support.

He was evac...

  By Biodun Busari Vanguard The Chief Executive Officer of Yomi Casual fashion designers, Oluyomi Makun, has said that he is not an internet fraudster, popularly known as ‘Yahoo Boy.’ The fashion and clothing entrepreneur who made the remarks while on TV show, Lunch Date with Vanguard, opined that it takes years and personal development to be successful in any business in Nigeria, and he had paid his dues before arriving as a celebrity. Yomi Casual added that the majority of his critics that labelled him ‘Yahoo boy’ because of his success do not even know anything about the business.

We need to educate them, when I get such a response,” Yomi Casual said. Yomi Casual, the younger brother of the po...

Henry Ojelu In October 2021, the Senate Committee on Interior approved the increase of the daily feeding allowance of the Nigerian Correctional Service, NCoS, from N450 per inmate to a minimum of N1, 000 per day. NCS officials who were at the Senate to defend their 2022 budget had proposed N750 but members of the committee who described the amount as grossly inadequate jerked it up to N1, 000 in line with the current economic reality,When the announcement of the increase was officially made by the Comptroller of NCS, most of the inmates in prisons across the country were ecstatic believing that their daily feeding portion would automatically increase. Seven months down the line, Encounter’s investigation revealed that the feeding portion of inmates has remained the same despite the purported increase by the government. Vanguard correspondent spoke to some inmates of Kirikiri and Ikoyi Correctional facilities who confirmed the situation and stated that the meals remain as horrible as th...

By Bucks  Couples with a big age gap often turn heads, and surveys have found that partners over 10year age-gap naturally experience social disapproval. While some people prefer someone their age, a few are open to someone ten to fifteen years their junior or senior. Does age really matter? You’ll agree that love is blind, and this phrase tends to hold true in many cases.  Across the Hollywood universe, some celebrity couples who are years apart have proved to be as happy as those who are just two months apart in age. They’ve equally established that just because someone is a certain age doesn’t imply they fit a specific relationship status. These adorable duos have yet again shown that age is just a number when it comes to true love. From George and Amal Clooney to Priyanka & Nick Jonas, have a look at which of your favorite couples have the biggest age differences. Enjoy! ChrisPratt & Katherine Schwarzenegger.
