Chris Oyakhilome's Wife, Anita Files For Divorce On Adultery Grounds

               




News reaching Nigeriafilms.com from The Cable has it that the dissolution of the marriage between Christ Embassy Church founder, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, and his wife, Rev. Anita Odegwa Oyakhilome, has entered the final phase. His wife, Anita is seeking divorce on the grounds of “unreasonable behavior” and “adultery”.

According to The Cable, she outlined several allegations against the pastor which cannot publish for legal reasons. The divorce case, with Suit No FD14D01650, was filed on April 9, 2014 at Divorce Section A, Central Family Court, First Avenue House, High Holborn, London, UK, on Anita’s behalf by Attwaters Jameson Hill Solicitors, a full-service law firm with expertise in commercial law and a strong consumer focus in family, wills and estate, personal injury law and medical negligence.

Oyakhilome is the president of Believers’ Love World Inc, the registered name of the Christian ministry, while his wife is the vice-president. The pastor, according to an elder of the church, has denied allegations of adultery and believes his wife is being influenced by “bad friends” who are intent on destroying their home. While Anita believes she has been relegated in the scheme of things in the church, her husband has reportedly accused her of trying to usurp power and authority above her seniors in the ministry.

Sources said that the pastor had been making efforts to avoid divorce in the hope that the wife would eventually have a change of mind. However, the decree nissi was served on the charismatic pastor in his hotel room during a recent visit to the UK. Decree nissi, in legal terms, is like a yellow card in a football match which is a precursor to a red card (“decree absolute”) if no new evidence is provided to stall proceedings.

Church insiders said Oyakhilome had been hoping for rapprochement, but he was left with no option than to receive the papers when the lawyers cornered him at his hotel in London. The decree absolute, which will effectively end the marriage, is expected to be issued soon while terms of the divorce will be worked out by the lawyers on both sides.

Recall that some weeks ago when some insiders of the church said it was all rumors that the couple will be divorced soon and they denied that there is any fight in the marriage. Efforts to reconcile the popular couple, whose church is one of the biggest denominations in Nigeria and has branches all over world, have failed. They have two teenage daughters, Sharon and Charlyn.”

The Federal Government on Friday said some measures had been put in place to ensure more stabilised power supply in the country by the beginning of October.

The Minister of Power, Prof. Chinedu Nebo, disclosed this to journalists after a meeting presided over by Vice-President Namadi Sambo at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

He said the step had started yielding results as some parts of the country had started experiencing more stabilised power supply.

He said, “The cheering news from all of these is that if you have noticed throughout the country in the past one week, people have been getting better power supply.

“The gas is now beginning to come back and it is something that gives all of us a lot of joy.

“And we know that it will continue to grow that way even until December because of some of the facilities, maintenance, repair works on the gas equipment and so on.

“The gas producers have come to a place where almost all of these are being taken care of, and then the new gas we are expecting is trickling in right now.”

Drama As Man Fights Friend Over Wife In Hotel

                                                                            

 

 

There was a mild drama in Olodi Apapa area of Lagos State, Thursday night, as a man who took another woman to a hotel came out from the hotel room to see his wife coming out from another room with his friend.

The man identified as Kayode was said to have yelled, “My wife in a hotel with another man!”when he spotted them.
LEADERSHIP Weekend gathered that when Kayode saw the wife identified as Funmilayo, he never envisaged that the man with her was his friend called Mufutau but after a closer look, he noticed that the man was Mufutau and he slapped him twice before Mufutau retaliated.

As the men were fighting, Funmilayo also tore the clothes of the other woman for having the effron try to date her husband.

The fight among the quartet came to an abrupt end when the barman, receptionist, and customers blamed all for not being sincere and trustworthy to their wives and husbands.
The barman told Kayode that he was guilty of the same offence for bringing another man’s wife to the hotel. The barman said that what occurred was a nemesis or law of distributional justice.

The women were said to have torn their clothes to shreds and left the hotel in shame as they booed each other.

SON KILLS FATHER, BURIES HIM IN SHALLOW GRAVE IN ENUGU

                                       

 

 

A young man said to be a member of a kidnap gang operating in Enugu State, Mr. Chukwuekezie Ofonago has shot his father dead.

The suspect now in police net admitted to have shot his father, Mr. George Ofonago with a double-barrel gun at a hideout where he was kept while demanding an undisclosed sum as ransom from his family.

 

The incident occurred at Abor village  Enugu Inyi Community, Oji River Local Government Area of Enugu State.

According to the State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ebere Amaraizu, operatives of the Homicide Section of the State Criminal and Investigations Department (SCID) of the state police command have already commenced full scale investigations into the incident.

He said that the deceased had suddenly disappeared from his home prompting his family members to raise an alarm.

The son was fingered to have been involved in his father’s disappearance in the course of the search.

 

“Following the sudden disappearance of the deceased, information got to the security operatives about the involvement of the son whom his family suspected reasonably to have played a suspicious role,” he said.

 

While the kidnappers continued to demand for ransom from their hideout, the son of the deceased was tracked down by the police.

He gave an insight on how he abducted the father and took him to where he allegedly shot him dead with a single barrel gun and buried him in a shallow grave.

Chukwuekezie confessed that it was not his wish to  shoot the father but that he was under pressure from the father who had instructed him to shoot him to death.

In another development, one Uchenna Francis Nwozor who specialized in threatening members of the public with kidnap and demanding ransom within Oji River and its environs, has been arrested.

 

The suspect believed to have participated in kidnapping some persons in the past, according to the police spokesman, is now helping the operatives of the Anti-Kidnap Unit in their investigations.

He had allegedly threatened to kidnap someone on phone if he fails to pay the sum of N5 million but he was later arrested by the police in Awka before he could execute his plan.

                

Boko Haram turns Police college to training camp –Survivor

 

 

 

The police college overrun by Boko Haram sect over a week ago has been converted into the base of the terrorist group, according to the Director, Catholic Social Communications, Maiduguri Diocese of the Catholic Church, Gideon Obasogie, who narrated the account of a survivor to Saturday PUNCH on Friday.

The clergyman in both telephone chat and e-mail to our correspondent, said, “I am sad, really sad to my bone marrows about this ugly development. The world must know the truth; people were captured and taken to the police training ground for serious training as combatants. It is now one of their strongest bases.

“The missing policemen have joined the Boko Haram instructors. The guys are multiplying in number, weaponry and geographical expansion.”

When asked how he got the knowledge of happenings in the captured police college, Obasogie revealed that he was briefed by a member of his church who was one of the policemen being held captive at the college by the group, but had managed to escape through the hills into Yola, Adamawa State capital.

The college is a riot police academy in Liman Kara, on the outskirts of Gwoza, a hilly town in Borno State, North-East Nigeria. It is one of only two riot police training colleges in Nigeria.

The Boko Haram insurgents had on Wednesday, August 21, 2014 attacked the Police Academy, Gwoza, Borno State, and seized not less than 200 assault rifles from the riot policemen on training.

It was learnt that the police authorities resumed the suspended training with the batch of 159 personnel from the Police Mobile Force only for them to be attacked a week into the exercise on Wednesday.

Investigations further revealed the insurgents did not encounter any strong resistance from the police personnel as the riot policemen were directed to keep all their guns at the armoury of the academy before Boko Haram attacked the academy and captured the armoury.

Masturbation – fun or folly?

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, or worse yet, dismissive of your concerns, the real harm here is not physical. It's all the worry, shame, and conflict attached to masturbation by so many men, women, and children, thanks to negative associations with all kinds of sex — done by oneself and with others. Strong negative messages

These messages come from so many influential places – often for most of one's lifetime. It may not be true for you, but this cloud that hangs over many masturbators might send some looking for physical "harm" from this popular practice. It can be a way of justifying any bad feelings and beliefs about masturbation that might never allow going it alone totally okay.

'Blame everything on masturbation'

That said, your "blame-it-on-masturbation" reasoning is understandable. If one sprouts hair in "strange" places, sports dark circles under the eyes, and says goodbye to those always reliable erections during and after stretches of solo-sex, one could easily conclude that these unwanted reactions came on as a result of whacking off.
Then, could it not also be said that hair loss, far-sightedness, and love handles also owe it to masturbation? And what about greater self-confidence, career changes, and the urge to buy property? The point: is it possible that all of these occurrences stem from something besides genital stimulation? Might ageing also be the culprit?

It may not come up around the copier and coffee table, but many twenty- and thirtysomethings now include big black nose and ear hair plucking in their regular grooming routine. They'd also put down difficulty getting it up and keeping it there as a getting older symptom. Bags under the eyes? Yep, that's on the list, too.
How about an experiment?

If you're not convinced that masturbation doesn't play a direct role in the physical "consequences" that you're now experiencing, how about conducting an experiment? Masturbate less often, or refrain from doing it for a few months and see if your symptoms disappear.
Take note that not "relieving" yourself for an extended period of time may lead to other unwanted physical and psychological situations, including irritability, difficulty concentrating, insomnia, and wet dreams. Now, it is possible that any stress, guilt, disgust, etc. with your personal sex play is making it harder to get and stay hard – these feelings are frequently powerful obstructions to sexual arousal. Also, if you're masturbating past your bedtime, dark circles may stare back at you the next morning

Crazy pictures of China's "Giraffe Boy"

Most humans have 7 cervical vertrabrae forming their neck. This is the uppermost part of the spinal cord and connects the spine to the head.

Fu Wenghui, however, has 10. This has caused the 15-year old resident of Beijing, China, a large amount of health issues, reported the Daily Mail. These issues have caused the young man agonising pain which he has suffered through for years.

Technically, Fu suffers form cogenital scoliosis a birth defect caused by vertebrae that are not properly formed. He also has an abnormally-formed chest frame.

Scoliosis is not uncommon as a whole, though it normally presents in much milder ways. One of the most frequent forms is through a spine which is curved, causing discomfort even though it may not be visible to the naked eye.

The condition was diagnosed when Fu was 6 year's old and has plagued him ever since. He has been unable to walk properly and is often the source of unwanted attention.

Fortunately, there is hope for Fu as a local charity have raised enough funds to sponsor his surgery. Doctors at the Chaoyang hospital are in the planning stages of what will likely be a highly complex surgery, reports Rex.

Boko Haram 'killing people like chickens'

                               

Boko Haram gunmen have killed scores of residents in a town on the border with Cameroon that they captured in recent raids, witnesses told AFP on Saturday.
The militants seized Gamboru Ngala earlier this week after taking over military and police facilities in a fierce gun battle which forced thousands of residents across the border into Cameroon.
The residents fled to Fotokol for fear of attack by the Islamists, despite being told they were only after security personnel and local vigilantes.
"They are now killing people like chickens," said Sidi Kyarimi, a Gamboru resident who fled to Fotokol on Friday. "They started by selective killings and later went on a killing spree."
Among those killed included the town's highest Muslim cleric and the head of its traders' union, he said.

"They threaten to kill anybody who refuses to leave the town. They say we don't belong," he added.
The insurgents were roaming the streets of the town carrying guns and machetes, shooting and hacking to death residents, said Yusuf Sanda, who also fled to Fotokol.
"They have been breaking into homes and shops and looting them," he said.
"Initially they said we were free to stay or leave but now they are saying all residents should leave the town because it is now an Islamic Caliphate."
Sanda said he escaped to Fotokol by wading through the shallow river on the border because it was too dangerous to walk the streets with the insurgents on the prowl.
Boko Haram has in recent weeks seized territory in Borno state near the border with Cameroon in an apparent move to carve out a state for themselves.

In a video obtained by AFP last weekend, Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau declared the town of Gwoza, which his men captured earlier this month, as part of an Islamic caliphate.
Boko Haram now controls at least three districts in Borno state and at least one each in Yobe and Adamawa states.

The military has maintained that Nigeria's sovereignty is intact and denied reports that soldiers fled the Boko Haram assault in Gamboru Ngala into Cameroon.
Borno, Yobe and Adamawa have been under a state of emergency since May last year but despite some initial gains, the military has been unable to stem increasing violence, particularly in remote regions.

Madagali, a predominantly Christian town in the north of Adamawa state, was the latest to fall in the hands of Boko Haram after they chased out troops.
Scores of Christians were killed in the town and many Christian women were allegedly forced to convert to Islam and marry insurgents, according to the spokesman for the Roman Catholic diocese of Maiduguri.

"Christian men were caught and beheaded, the women were forced to become Muslim and were taken as wives to the terrorists," Father Gideon Obasogie alleged.
"The houses of Christians that have fled are now occupied by the Haramists. Their cars are used by the terrorists. Strict Sharia law had been promulgated", he added in an emailed statement.
There was no independent confirmation of Obasogie's claims due to poor phone networks in the remote region and the mass exodus of residents.

Boko Haram Takes over Catholic Church in Adamawa Town .

                                                                                

 

The Catholic Church has complained that the Boko Haram insurgents have taken over the parish rectory of its Church and other houses of Christians after last week’s attack on Madagali in Adamawa State.

The   Director, Catholic Social Communications in-charge of the Maiduguri Diocese, Rev. Fr. Gideon Obasogie, said Christians and Christian institutions had been at the receiving end of the satanic group.

Fr. Obasogie said in Madagali, “the whole town and the Parish rectory have been occupied by the terrorists; so many structures and items have been vandalised. Dozens killed and a lot of church structures have been burnt down.”

Fr. Gideon also lamented the unhindered advancement of the insurgents in the Gwoza part of Borno, a town they have already declared as their Caliphate.

 

In a statement, he said: “The Islamist terrorist group Boko Haram has advanced greatly in their rampage and killings, to the extent of declaring a Caliphate in Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State, a town bordering Borno and Adamawa states.

“As it is well known, the catholic diocese of Maiduguri covers the whole of Yobe, Borno and Adamawa states, the three states under strict emergency rule.

“Apart from the churches within Maiduguri that have great share of such attacks by the terrorists group, all the churches on the major road linking Maiduguri and Adamawa state have been closed down due to same acts of terrorism. St Timothy’s Bama had been under siege since last year. The Parish priest, Rev. Fr. Timothy Cosmas, had long been relocated to a different Parish. At the early part of this year St. Peter’s Pulka was badly attacked. Thanks to God the Pastor Fr. James John was luckily unavailable. The terrorists searched and wanted to kill the holy Priest of God.

 

 “Lately, precisely on Friday the 22th August 2014, the dreaded group had moved steadily and yet more boldly into Gwoza, which is in Borno State and the neighbouring Madagali Local Government Area in Adamawa State. Declaring a caliphate!!! The assisting priest of St. Denis Madagali, Fr. Aiden Ibrahim, fled the Parish with some of his Parishioners to the mountains, upon hearing serious fire battle from the terrorists. Since the curfew declared after wards was dusk to dawn, they had to travel on foot through the mountains up on till Michika, a neighbouring local government area where movement was free. Since then Madagali and Gwoza had been greatly under siege and strictly controlled by the Boko Haram sects.”

Fr. Gideon said the situation in Madagali remained unclear, adding that people who escaped from the town through the Gwoza hills to Michika could explain it.

“Madagali is a local government that borders Borno and Adamawa states, the closest town to Gwoza . It has a large number of Catholics, and members of other Christian denominations. And a good number of Muslims. It is quite eloquent that terrorism has no friend, but it is abundantly clear that the Christians are worst hit. It might surprise you to know that no one knows the state of affairs in this terrorist zone.

 

“Report reaching the Director Social Communications, Rev. Fr. Gideon Obasogie, in Maiduguri has it that the whole town and the parish rectory have been occupied by the terrorists, so many structures and items have been vandalised. Dozen killed and a lot of church structures have been burnt down. Christians in the town are really in a terribly situation; a moment of great persecution. Christian men were caught and beheaded; the women were forced to become Muslims and were taken as wives to the terrorists. The houses of Christians that have fled are now occupied by the Haramists . Their cars are used by the terrorists. Some Boko Haram sympathisers around the town identify Christian homes to be occupied and the Christians hiding were also identified and killed. Strict Sharia Law has been promulgated, as observed by a woman who luckily escaped the dead zone.

 

“The situation, as it is now, has really and truly gone out of control. People are finding it really hard, citizens are being killed in their numbers. Hope Nigeria would be real in handling the dwindling state of insecurity that has enveloped the entire North east,” the statement said.

Cameroon bombs Boko Haram camp killing “many” fighters

Boko Haram has suffered a heavy casualty after coming under attack from Cameroon’s army.

The Cameroonian army shelled one of the Islamist sect’s camps across the border, killing “many” fighters, according to a security official.

 

The source said the army shelled the camp on Wednesday evening, two days after the jihadist group seized control of Gamboru Ngala on the border with Cameroon.

“It was tanks stationed on the frontier at Fotokol (on Cameroon’s side of the border) that shelled the camp on the other side,” the source said on condition of anonymity.

“Seen from Fotokol this morning, Gamboru looks empty and smells of death,” he added. “Nobody knows how many Boko Haram members were killed, but it is obvious that many were.”

The shelling was confirmed by a local police officer.

 

“These were abandoned houses that they have occupied since they entered Gamboru. We think they still control the town, because there are many of them and they didn’t all gather in the same place,” he said.

All was calm in Fotokol by Wednesday following days of panic as residents fled to escape the Boko Haram attack on Gamboru.

Former Football Star, Victor Ikpeba, Girlfriend Beat Baby Mama To Pulp .

                                                                                      

 

 

This is story that many will find unwholesome about Nigeria's ex-international Victor Nosa Ikpeba. Since he lost his wife Atinuke to breast cancer years back, the former Prince of Monaco has been allegedly philandering at a very alarming rate that he now has kids from different mothers.

He must now be cursing the day he met one of his baby mamas, who successfully disgraced him at the Motayo Hospital, a popular clinic near his Gbemisola mansion, Ikeja, Lagos home penultimate Sunday.

Urbanlifeng gathered that the former Super Eagles star came to the hospital with two light-skinned ladies; one was wounded and needed a suture. The wounded one then started lambasting Victor, shouting on top of her voice and calling him all sorts unprintable names.

She made everybody around know that since she had baby for Ikpeba, he has virtually abandoned her and his innocent child just because of his new found love.

She told the hospital staff who waded into the shouting match that she only went to Victor’s house that day get stipends for her kid's upkeep when Victor and his new lover pounced on her, leaving her badly wounded that she had to be rushed to Motayo for treatment.

It was indeed a nasty experience for the lady, who looked a bit haggard and unkempt and now, with a stitched limb to the bargain. The ugly incidence, which happened in the presence of the hospital staffers and patients, made Victor feel uncomfortable and hazy. He left quietly after she was treated.

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) on Thursday endorsed President Goodluck Jonathan to run for a second term in office.
The President of NANS, Yinka Gbadebo, who led the National Executive members of the association on a courtesy visit to the First Lady, Dame Patience Faka Jonathan, expressed their support at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

281 Fake NYSC Members Sacked From Camp .

                                                                                                

 

 

Authorities of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Niger State, northcentral Nigeria, have thrown 281 fake corps members out of the orientation camp.

Mr. Steven Ehoda-adi, the state’s coordinator of NYSC, disclosed this Tuesday while speaking to journalists shortly after the closing ceremony of the 2014 Batch B orientation exercise in Paiko.



He said the 281 fake corps members identified at the state orientation camp were sent out of the camp after they failed to present their call-up letters.
Ehoda-adi said those affected had nothing to show as having qualified for admission into the camp.


According to him, some of them said they lost their letters when they were attacked by armed robbers on their way to Minna, others claimed to have misplaced them, while some presented photocopies of the letters which he said was not acceptable.

Only 3,259 batch B corps members on Tuesday successfully completed their three weeks orientation in the state.

Also, another 230 corps members comprising pregnant and nursing mothers were disallowed from taking part in the normal routine during the three weeks orientation exercise.

Declaring the orientation camp closed, Governor Mua’zu Babangida Aliyu of Niger State said despite the insecurity in the country occasioned by the activities of the Boko Haram, the unity of the country was not negotiable.

He said though insurgency was threatening the relative peace in some parts of the country, the activities of the Boko Haram sects would soon be brought to an end.

 

Nigeria is Africa’s highest importer of generator .

                                                 

 

Nigeria topped the list of generator-importing countries for the fourth year in a row, having surpassed others since 2002, the Chairman of the Benin Electricity Distribution Company Limited (Vigeo Holdings), Mr. Gbolade Osibodu, said Tuesday.


He said Nigeria accounted for 35 per cent or $152million of the total $432.2million spent by African countries on generator importation in 2005.

The effect, according to him, is that nearly all surviving manufacturing companies run private plants, with more production costs being shifted to the consumers.

Speaking during the plenary session at the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) Annual General Conference in Owerri, with the topic: “Nigeria, any hope for an industrial revolution?” Osibodu said development would continue to elude Nigeria until there is regular power supply.

“Nigeria has all it takes – sufficient water, gas, manpower, etc – to solve the power problem in the country. Nigeria is faced with inadequate and unreliable power supply, making it difficult to achieve needed economic growth and development,” he said.

Osibodu expressed optimism that the ongoing power sector reform would guarantee power supply, adding that post-privatisation challenges such as inadequate generating capacity and transmission limitation must be tackled.

“Successful reform of the power sector will lead to revitalisation and growth of industries in Nigeria. To the question: Any hope of industrial revolution in Nigeria? The answer is Yes, but this will require the commitment of all stakeholders,” he said.

A Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Solomon Asemota, who chaired the session, said industrial revolution in Nigeria would depend on the immediate ending of the ideological war between liberal democracy and Sharia

“Sharia is the direct opposite of the industrial revolution with the policies it tries to enforce as is with Boko Haram and its desire of a world caliphate through violence and force. It is feudalistic and retrogressive.

“The enforcement of Sharia is in fact the protection of a system that perpetuates oligarchy because the oligarchs are the interpreters of Sharia. It is essentially politics of the stomach typified by Boko Haram. We have remained stagnant over the years because of our dual ideology.

“Brazil, India, Indonesia, China and others with whom Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product effectively competed in the 1960s and have one ideology have made progress.

“Until Nigeria develops democracy as its ideology, industrial revolution will only remain a mirage,” Asemota said.

 

Fears grow Boko Harm may use suicide bombers dressed as Catholic nuns for attacks .

                                              

 

 

FRESH fears have grown that Boko Haram may carry out a bomb attack using suicide bombers dressed as Catholic nuns hiding explosives under their clothing after a shop storing habits was broken into in Kano.

 

Last week, a tailoring shop which makes habits and religious garments for Catholic nuns at  Odutola Street in Sabon Gari, Kano, was broken into. During the raid, 13 pieces of Catholic Church reverend sisters’ regalia was stolen and carted away.

With the recent trend of female suicide bombings in the country, the theft of these regalia has heightened concerns about the possibility of terrorist elements using same to perpetrate acts of terror. Of late, Boko Haram has resorted to the use of female suicide bombers to carry out its deadly attacks.

 

In several instances, young girls not yet in their teens have been sent to public parks with bombs, not aware of the deadly contents of their packages. It has also been suspected that the terrorist sect is also using some of the pupils kidnapped from Government Girls Secondary School Chibok as mules.

 

Fearful that the raid on the Catholic chop may be part of a wider plot, the Department of State Services (DSS) has urged members of the public to be vigilant. DSS deputy director Marilyn Ogar, has called for vigilance.

 

Ms Ogar added: "This service wishes to draw the attention of the public to this development and to call on all citizens to be more circumspect and exercise greater vigilance with users of such peculiar attires. We therefore enjoin all to continue to cooperate with law enforcement agencies through the provision of useful information on suspicious activities within their immediate environment."

 

Over recent months, Boko Haram, has repeatedly changed tactics, wrong-footing the security agencies with new modus operandi. Its car and suicide bomb attacks have generally caught security operatives off guard.
