Mr. Abayomi Orioye has urged an Ijanikin Customary Court, Lagos, to
dissolve his marriage to Mrs. Elizabeth Orioye because he found that she
had sex with his best friend.
And to add salt to injury, the incident took place in their matrimonial home.
Narrating the incident, Abayomi, 50, told the court that she told the
wife on the day the sacrilegeous act took place that he was going on a
tour only to return home unexpectedly and caught his wife having sex
with his best friend.
He added that his wife got pregnant shortly thereafter, but the boy she delivered did not resemble him.
Google and all of its major services were blocked in China on
Friday, as the Communist Party meets to appoint new leaders for the
first time in a decade.
Google's own "transparency
report" - designed to detect and publicize service disruptions - shows a
sharp drop in traffic from China across all of Google's products. The
company added the incident to its timeline of outages. "We've checked
and there's nothing wrong on our end," a Google representative told CNNMoney.
The
cause of the outage is unclear, but it comes just one day after the
start of the Communist Party's 18th National Congress in China. The
once-every-decade meeting is held to select a new stable of leaders.

He said his vision was to make African music attractive to international artistes where they will not be able to resist it.
In

With news reverberating worldwide of Barack Obama’s historic
re-election to office following one of the most closely contested
election battles in American history, a video released on YouTube hours
before results trickled in shows Nigerian Pastor T.B. Joshua had
prophesied his historic victory.
The video, released on Joshua’s official YouTube channel, ‘scoanTV’
and his Christian television station, Emmanuel TV, shows him talking
about the battle for American Presidency on Sunday 6th May, a time when
national polls were still projecting a relatively comfortable victory
for Obama.
“We should pray for President Obama,” Joshua said. “He
should do something quickly on health care
"The major problem is that some pastors refused to obey what the
Bible says. We are expected to seek the kingdom first and then all other
things shall be added unto them. But today, some of us seek all other
things first before the kingdom of God.”
Pastor Tunde Bakare of
the Latter Rain Assembly, Lagos, has condemned the fast growing practice
of some pastors, especially in Nigeria, making their wives automatic
pastors, for selfish reasons.
Reacting to the 'wrong' trend recent, the popular preacher said:

the issue of pastors making their wives automatic pastors, [it] is
wrong. In fact, I observed that such
Remember the story we served you in our last edition about a bank MD,
whose marriage of over 15 years is currently under threat over his
romance with a star actress? A fresh angle has just emerged on the
not-so-funny drama: The bank MD's son who is a secondary school student
has threatened to commit suicide if his father does not quit the romance
and reconcile with his mother!
For starts, we leant that the
poor boy who is shocked by his father's shameful action has embarked on

On Friday afternoon, General David Petraeus announced his resignation
as CIA director, citing an extramarital affair. Almost immediately,
Slate named Petraeus’s biographer, Paula Broadwell, as the mystery
woman. And according to NBC, the FBI has been investigating Broadwell
out of concern that she had access to confidential information.
Broadwell is the author, with Vernon Loeb, of All In: The Education
of General David Petraeus, a glowing 400-page biography of Petraeus, for
which she was granted almost total access. After it was published in
January, some said it read more like a love letter to the general than a
biography. In a review for Rolling Stone, Michael Hastings called the
book “a work of fan fiction so fawning that not even Max Boot—a Petraeus
buddy and Pentagon sock puppet—could bring himself to rave about it.”
Broadwell, 40, is a research associate at Harvard’s Center for
Public Leadership—as well as a PhD candidate in the department of war
studies at King’s College in London. She is married to Scott Broadwell,
an interventional radiologist, and lives in Dilworth, N.C., with their
two sons, Landon and Lucien. She grew

Seun, has condemned the ban of marijuana and cigarette, adding that the
position of the law on the two products was illogical.
According to Seun, the favoured cigarette has lethal consequences,
while the legally opposed marijuana was medicinal and good for human
consumption. But, Seun said, the lethal cigarette was favored simply
because it was to the white man’s profit, stressing that marijuana would
make black countries richer than the white if legalized. Seun damned black politicians for taking the white’s advice against

question when it comes to the relationship status of Rihanna and Chris
Brown. Well, according to the Barbadian beauty they … aren't.
During a Facebook Live interview conducted by Bravo's Andy Cohen on
Wednesday, the 24-year-old songstress was asked point blank whether she
is dating Chris Brown. "No. Not together," she replied.
However, she was quick to offer kind words about Brown, who does a
duet with her — called "Nobody's Business" — on her new album, Unapologetic. "He's dope, too," she said. "He's kinda alright."
The twosome has had a long and tangled history. After Brown

In a bloodcurdling incident, a domestic worker from Gwabalanda
suburb in Bulawayo Zimbabwe betrayed her employer's trust when she was
allegedly caught sucking blood from the nose of her employer's
four-year-old child. The mother (name withheld to protect the identity

State, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, deepened, yesterday, when the Villa took
exception to the allegation by the former head of state that the Boko
Haram sect was a creation of the PDP-led government and that they should
not try to robe him into its problems.
Buhari had addressed the press in Abuja on Wednesday and absolved
himself of any link with the sect and also declined an offer from the
group to mediate in its reconciliatory talks with the Federal
Government.
But the claim by the CPC leader infuriated the Presidency, which
