Bobbi Kristina Brown’s ex-fiancé Nick Gordon dead from apparent overdose

Nick Gordon, the ex-fiancé of Bobbi Kristina Brown was found dead from an apparent drug overdose on New Year's Day.

The 30-year-old suffered from a series of heart attacks after being rushed to intensive care in Florida, where he later died.

His brother, Junior Walker, mourned his death in Facebook post, writing, “God why did I have to lose my brother on New Years. All I can do is cry”.

Gordon is perhaps best remembered for dating Brown, the daughter of Whitney Houston, who was found unconscious in a bathtub in 2015. She later died after being in a coma for several months.

While Gordon never faced criminal charges in Brown's death, he was held legally responsible for her wrongful death in a civil case but maintained his innocence nonetheless.

Being pregnant brought me depression - actress Ruth Kadiri

Nollywood actress Ruth Kadiri has recounted her experience in 2019 when she suddenly became pregnant after her wedding, saying she was depressed as she never wanted a baby then.

She, however, said, last year brought her more blessings with the arrival of the baby.

She wrote: “2019 came with more than a blessing. After my wedding I became pregnant, wasn’t sure I wanted a baby now, was so scared it will affect my career, was so scared I wouldn’t be a good mum. For unknown reasons I became depressed. 

“Thanks to @judyaustin1 who made me see how blessed a woman I was, who recounted how God had blessed me over and over again. thank God for my husband who made me know I was loved. Well it happened . A stress free pregnancy, uncle Ben, Rosssnna, and my entire Swedish family,

"I thank you for being there for me. Reign became the top of the list of my blessings. Thanks to mummy (my mother-in-law) for loving me the way you do. Thanks to my mother (biological mum) for standing by me. Thanks to @officialstelladimokokorkus for been a fair blogger.

“Thanks to @maryremmynjoku for been a good friend. Thanks to @iamhuk for your prayers. May we all continue to celebrate in this life and forever. Amen. @reignezerika thanks for lighting up my world with your smiles and laughter.”

Life isn't rosy all the time !
For those of us with pot bellies
Blessed with abundance of jellies
Observing table is not our thing.

There are others unlike us with flattened
Tummies tossed to and fro hunger-driven
Beaten by the reality of our lack.

For those of us unlike them born
With silver spoons shouldn't forget
That circumstances and predicaments are cousins, we must teach  our kids never to look down on anyone because they are more privileged. As Parents , We should teach our kids how to accommodate others with love .
Happy Birthday @lordmaine2 keep growing in grace , we have so much content to post from today ."

Nigeria’s oldest soldier, World War veteran, dies at 101

The oldest surviving soldier of the Nigerian Army, Pa Adama Aduku, died on Tuesday at the age of 101.

The army announced the death of the World War 2 veteran on its Twitter handle on Wednesday.

Pa Aduku’s last public appearance was in 2018 at the Nigerian Army Day celebrations in Lagos, where he was presented with an award of excellence by the Vice- President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo.

Aduku reportedly joined the Nigerian contingent fighting for the British colonial army in Burma and Egypt during the World War 2.

“This gallant soldier could not make it into 2020. We lost him yesterday. Rest in peace, great uncle,” the relation, Nats Odaudu, wrote.

Aduku was born in 1918 in Abejukolo-Ife, in the Omaha Local Government Area of Kogi State and he joined the army in 1945.

Pope Francis apologises for slapping woman's hand

Pope Francis apologised on Wednesday for slapping a woman, who had grabbed him as he greeted a crowd of devotees, shortly before he delivered a speech denouncing “every form of violence against women.”

The image of a visibly annoyed Pope Francis slapping his way free from the clutches of an admirer as he walked by Catholic faithful on New Year’s Eve instantly went viral on social media.

An apology followed. “We lose patience many times,” the Pope confessed.

“It happens to me too. I apologise for the bad example given yesterday,” the head of the Catholic church said before celebrating Mass at the Vatican.

The Pope was greeting children before the Nativity scene on Saint Peter’s square and was turning away when a woman cried out something, yanked his hand and almost caused him to fall.

Man commit suicide after killing his mother-in-law

A man whose identity is yet-to-be-disclosed, has killed his mother-in-law, using a cutlass on her, before poisoning himself to death. 

The Nation reports that the incident happened a few hours into the New Year, at Arubayi Street in Warri area of Delta State.

It was gathered that the couple whose marriage wasn't supported by the mother-in-law had been separated, which resulted to the man's unhappiness.

According to an eyewitness, the man went to the victim's home with the intention of attacking his ex-wife, but ended up killing his mother-in-law, after the mother of his two children took to her heels on sighting him.

“She (the suspect's ex-wife) ran away. But her mother could not run because she had pains in one of her legs. The man attacked his mother-in-law with a cutlass until she died.

“Neighbours ran away. They said they were afraid. But the man later drank poison and died," the eyewitness was quoted as saying. 

Delta State Police Commissioner, Adeyinka Adeleke, has confirmed the incident, saying it's a double tragedy as the suspect also killed himself.

I will stand down in 2023 and won’t contest in any future elections - President Buhari

President Buhari has officially confirmed that he will leave office in 2023 and won’t contest in any future elections.

Buhari said he is a strong believer of democratic principles and will promote and sustain them in Nigeria and across West Africa.

He stated this in his New Year letter to Nigerians, which was released by the Presidency at 6am on Wednesday (today).

“I will be standing down in 2023 and will not be available in any future elections. But I am determined to help strengthen the electoral process both in Nigeria and across the region, where several ECOWAS members go to the polls this year,” he said.

The emphasis on leaving office in 2023 is to clarify the speculation that there are underground moves to secure a third term for him after the completion of his current last term in 2023.

President Buhari also itemised what his regime had done since 2015 and would do in the years ahead to improve power supply, build roads/houses for Nigerians, develop agriculture, diversify the economy, create jobs, combat terrorism and promote democracy

Michelle Obama named 'most admired' woman in the world

Michelle Obama has been named the “most admired woman” in the world in a major new US survey.

The former first lady, who had consistently higher popularity ratings than her husband while they were in the White House, surpassed the current US president and first lady in Gallup’s annual poll.

It is the second year in a row Ms Obama has earned the accolade of world’s most venerated woman.

The 55-year-old took ten per cent of the vote, followed by Melania Trump who gained five per cent of it. Hillary Clinton, Oprah Winfrey and Greta Thunberg all took three per cent of the vote each.

Ms Obama was also found to be the most admired woman worldwide in a poll carried out by YouGov in July – coming higher than the Queen.

Barack Obama, former US president, came neck and neck with Donald Trump, the current president, for the title of most admired man in this year’s Gallup poll.
