Dear LIB readers: My wife's change of denomination is affecting our marriage

Posted: 25 Sep 2014 10:59 AM PDT

From a female LIB reader
My wife and I got married as Catholics and we have been practicing the Catholic faith in all our ten years of marriage. All the love and peace we have enjoyed in our marriage is about to change as she recently found love in the Jehovah's witnesses doctrine where they do not celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas and other celebrations. S
he now wants to force this new way of live on myself and our three children who have lived all there lives enjoying these celebrations. This new way of thinking is seriously affecting our marriage as she is trying to be forceful with our kids living according to her new found doctrine. It's not like her new found faith is bad but I would just respect it if she leaves me and my kids out of it.  I seriously want to save my marriage but I don't want her new belief to affect my children. How do I handle this situation?

Amber Rose says Wiz is a serial cheater. Wiz says 'Pot, meet Kettle'

Posted: 25 Sep 2014 07:32 AM PDT

Lol. Love this title. Got it from TMZ. According to reports, the exes are accusing each other of cheating. Find the report from TMZ below...
Amber Rose has filed for divorce from Wiz Khalifa because she's convinced he's been a serial cheater for months ... making lame excuses that just don't hold water.
It's a bitter break-up, with each accusing the other of cheating. Sources connected with Amber tell TMZ ... since the beginning of Wiz's tour in July she strongly suspected he was stepping out.
Amber's telling friends she wanted to join Wiz on the tour but he came up with a panoply of excuses, the most frequent of which ... she should stay home with their 1-year-old.
She also says he tried to show dominance by telling her he's the bread winner and he needed to be left alone to make money and she needed to stay home. BTW ... we understand that doesn't make a lot of sense, but that's what she said.

As we reported ... Wiz believes it was Amber who was cheating, courtesy of Nick Cannon, and she's throwing up allegations against him as a cover for her own misdeeds.

And Wiz has complained privately ... Amber is one big nag.
Meanwhile, Nick's camp has denied he's dating or sleeping with Amber Rose. Insiders tell TMZ Nick knew nothing of Amber and Wiz's marital problems until after her lawyers notified him during negotiations of her management deal.

The sources admits Amber and Nick bonded over break-up stories but insist their relationship is strictly professional.

Pro-Ayo Fayose thugs allegedly beat up Judge in Ekiti State

Posted: 25 Sep 2014 07:20 AM PDT

Pandemonium broke out this morning at the Ekiti state High court after a judge, Justice John Adeyeye, was allegedly beaten up by thugs believed to be loyal to Governor-elect, Ayo Fayose, for allegedly being rude to him.

According to Premium Times, Fayose arrived the court house in company of about twenty of his 'supporters' for the Ekiti State Governorship Election petition tribunal which was to hold today.

The judge, seeing the number of supporters that accompanied Fayose to the court house asked him to direct them outside as they were not allowed inside the court premises. This is said to have infuriated Fayose and his supporters...


 From Premium Times
An enraged Mr. Fayose was said to have shouted the judge down. Immediately, the thugs pounced on Justice Adeyeye, beat him up and tore his clothes, while his co workers scampered and shouted for help. Following the development, judicial workers hurriedly shut down the court premises thereby preventing any court proceeding for hours before the police fired tear gas canisters to disperse the surging crowd. Justice Adeyeye is presently receiving treatment at a private hospital in Ado-Ekiti.
A similar scenario had played out on Monday when suspected PDP thugs stormed the high court premises, attacked the trial judge, some litigants and judicial workers in the bid to prevent hearing in a case to determine Mr. Fayose's eligibility for the June 21 governorship election. Mr. Fayose could not be reached on Thursday morning. He did not answer or return calls to his mobile telephone.

Lagos House of Assembly members ask Fashola to rename IDH after Adadevoh

Posted: 25 Sep 2014 03:59 AM PDT

Members of the Lagos State House of Assembly moved a motion yesterday September 24th asking the state Governor, Babatunde Fashola to rename the Infectious Disease Hospital, IDH, where Ebola disease patients were recently treated, after Doctor Stella Adadevoh.

The motion for her to be immortalized was moved by Hon Adefunmilayo Tejuoso and seconded by Hon Muyiwa Jimoh. The lawmakers said Dr. Adadevoh's act of stopping Sawyer from leaving the First Consultant hospital after she found out he was infected with the deadly virus, saved many lives
 
The Speaker of the House of Assembly, Adeyemi Ikuforiji directed the clerk of the House, Segun Abiru to communicate the decision to the state Governor. If approved by the Governor, the hospital will be known as the Stella Adadevoh Infectious Disease Hospital. Hope he approves...

N400 ‘won’ N7,560,040.82million from Surebet247

Posted: 25 Sep 2014 03:59 AM PDT

Top Nigerian bookmaker posted around N7,560,040.82 million in operating losses as they had one of the worst weekends since the new season starts on a single ticket  following a string of unexpected draw ( X ) outcome results.

A host of online/retail punters were left laughing all the way to the bank after 8 League sides all drew their weekend's matches, causing a great deal of rich accumulators  winning.




This has seen bettors, land payouts well in excess of 23 million naira for very low stakes, causing Surebet247 bookmaker to call the previous weekend one of the worst seen in the new EPL season," spokesman Ahmed Jokotoye said.


This just goes to show that online/retail punters can beat bookmakers in their own game, and even if these kind of weekends do not happen too often, it is certainly good to know that even betting on football favourites can see you turn a nice profit especially when you bet with a company who has a BIG POCKET FOR WINNINGS like SUREBET247.

A fan of animation, Permithias' favourite films are Turbo and Happy Feet, while he also likes the music of Chris Brown, James Blunt and Joe Tomas. 
 
His mom is his role model, because she provided for the family with 'nothing but blood, sweat and tears'. He is the eldest of five children;he has three sisters and a brother. Permithias says that becoming a chef is his greatest achievement so far, because it 'opened a window' for himself and his family

He was inspired to enter Big Brother Hotshots because he's been watching the show for years but won't sell his soul or lose his self-worth in the process. Asked how he feels knowing that the whole continent will be watching him 24/7, he says: 'scared, but it will all come together the way it should'. If he wins, he'll take care of his Mom and open his own restaurant.

Permithias says he's easy-going, open-minded and 'down for whatever is fun' and enjoys others who are also open-minded.

His favourite place in South Africa is the Groenkloof Nature Reserve in Pretoria and the best things about the continent as a whole are the people and their strength & resilience. Amsterdam made a big impression on him at a young age when he went there and learnt a lot about himself and personal growth.

His mother is his role model, because she sacrificed a lot to get him where he is today and taught him a great many things. Together with his Grandmother, she has influenced his life a great deal because they were always strong-willed and gently guided him through life.

Nhlanhla entered Big Brother Hotshots because he's been a fan ever since he saw his first season on DStv. 'I just knew that I wanted to be on the show myself, and wanted to take the opportunity to have my personality spread all over the world'.

Beautiful Ukranian politician proud after her nude pics is leaked by hackers

Posted: 25 Sep 2014 03:32 AM PDT

Other celebs whose naked photos were leaked online after their iCloud accounts were hacked may be embarrassed by the whole mess but not Russian politician, Olga Lyulchak. The stunning 30 year old's nude photos were leaked after her iCloud account was hacked last month by the same people who leaked the nude pics of celebs like Jennifer Lawrence, Gabrielle Union and co...

Olga, who is a fairly popular politician in Ukraine hit back after she was criticized for the nude pics. She took to her website to write that the pics should be considered artwork rather than shameful
"The world honours the great works of great masters such as Van Gogh, Titian and others. They created naked beauty which was admired. In our day and age, women who appear naked are considered vulgar or shameful. I can't understand it. I think they are pure art.
That's the spirit. Ms Olga is contesting in the Ukrainian parliamentary elections on October 26.

This may not be news but...:-)

Posted: 25 Sep 2014 03:12 AM PDT

You know what they say, if you don't want 'it', don't start 'sh'. Hehe. So I was jeje minding my own business when an observant LIB reader sent me this. You can like and read below as I stroll away to go look for news...:-)
Dear Linda, Waconzy's picture wasn't with 100 dollar bills as he claimed. He only put a 2013 series 100 dollar bill in front. You can tell the other notes behind are discoloured and worn. They are all 1s. Stripper money!!
Here's the evidence:
As you can see in his pic. The circles/curves that exist on the top left part of the note and the whole left side. Those circles/curves don't exist on the 100 dollar bill. Only on the 1 dollar. The total money there is like 900 dollars. If he wanted to show off, he should've just taken his time to borrow some money. So burn him please. Thanks.

Terrifying photo shows woman hiding on roof from intruder - only for him to appear behind her

Posted: 25 Sep 2014 02:23 AM PDT

This photo shows the incredible moment a terrified woman named Melora Rivera hid from an intruder on the roof of her home in Venice, Los Angeles last week, only for him to appear behind her.

The scary photo which was taken by her neighbour and later shared online shows Melora hiding from the man, later identified as 29 year old vagrant Christian Hicks, who had broken into her home as she slept.

She hid on the roof and quickly called police but as she was there waiting for help, the intruder showed up on the roof with a knife looking for her. See the dramatic pictures after the cut...



Fortunately, the police arrived at her home just in time to rescue her. And they also manged to coax the intruder down too

The part time actress later told CBS LA of her ordeal;
"Once I saw him in the house, I knew that we both couldn't be there. I knew that I didn't want to have a confrontation with him of any sort, you know, not knowing what his intention was. My biggest fear was that he was going to be forced by the cops to come hide in basically the same place I was hiding."
