Only changed people change their world- Bishop Oyedepo to Nigerians

 

Bishop David Oyedepo, the founder of Living Faith Church, on Friday, disclosed why Nigeria has not changed for the better.

Oyedepo pointed out that Nigeria has not changed because only changed people can turn things around in their environment.

The Chancellor and Chairman, Board of Regents of Covenant University, stated this during the institution’s 19th matriculation ceremony on Friday at Ota, Ogun State.

He appealed to Nigerians to go closer to God if they want things to change.

“We talk about peace in Nigeria but we are all witnesses to how far we are from it. When you are transformed, then you can reform your society.

“Only changed people can change their world and things around them.

Oyedepo also stressed that any system that is afraid to be different would never make the difference.

He urged the new students to be determined to make a difference wherever they find themselves.

The couple admitted their love had “taken separate paths”.

However, they said they would remain close to continue the “marvellous job” of raising their two children.

Solskjaer’s squad update confirmed

 

Manchester United boss, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, has given an update on his squad ahead of their Premier League clash with David Moyes’s West Ham United on Sunday evening.

Solskjaer said that Paul Pogba, Juan Mata and Donny van de Beek will miss Man United’s clash against West Ham at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils manager stated this during his pre-match press conference on Friday.

Man United head to the game following a 1-1 draw with AC Milan in the Europa League round of 16 first-leg tie on Thursday.

“No, I don’t think any of those [Paul, Mata and Donny]will be available,” Solskjaer told reporters.

“We hope maybe before the international break. Maybe, but I am not sure.

“It is taking a little bit longer than we expected, but we have three games now and then the international break, and after that, they will all be available for us.”

Solskjaer also confirmed that goalkeeper, David De Gea, is back in Manchester after returning to Spain for the birth of his first child.

De Gea has sat out each of Man United’s last three fixtures, with Dean Henderson replacing him and keeping two clean sheets.

The kick-off time for Man United vs West Ham is 8:15 pm.

Angry mob kills suspected child thief, injures another in Nnewi

 

An irate mob of sympathisers has killed a member of a child stealing syndicate, injuring one other, while trying to abduct a school kid in Nnewi.

The spokesperson of Anambra State Police Command, CSP Haruna Mohammed stated this press release he made available to on Friday.

Mohammed said, “On the 12/3/2021 at about 2:20 pm, there was a report at the Area Command headquarters Nnewi that a four years old child of St. Joseph School, Otolo Nnewi was returning home from school in company of his siblings when two men on a motorcycle grabbed the child and zoom off with him.

 

“Alarm was raised by other children which attracted the attention of some commercial motorcyclists who pursued and eventually arrested the suspects and rescued the child at Akamili Community Nnewi.”

Mohammed said before the arrival of the police patrol team to the scene, the two suspects were beaten to stupor by the angry mob but were eventually rescued by the police and taken to the hospital for medical attention.

“Consequently, one of the suspects whose identity is yet known was certified dead by a medical doctor while receiving treatment and the second one is still unconscious at the hospital. Corpse deposited at the mortuary and investigation still ongoing.

“Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police CP Monday Bala Kuryas, while thanking the public for their courage in rescuing the child also urged them to always exercise restraint by not taking law into their hands whenever they arrest suspects to enable the police conduct discreet investigation to in order unravel more facts surrounding the incidents including sponsors of the dastardly acts and bring them to justice,” Mohammed said.

I was raped by armed robbers in my husband’s house – Iyabo Ojo

 

Popular Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, has narrated how she was raped four times and in her husband’s house.

Ojo in a recent episode titled: “Bare it all with I Y’ on her YouTube page, said that she was first raped at the age of 14 but kept it a secret because it was like a taboo to be raped at that time.

Narrating her experience, she said: “I have been raped before. Not once but five times and trust me when I say it was not easy. The first time I was raped, I was 14.

“It took place at my aunty’s house (not a family member). I didn’t want to talk about it because it was taboo to talk about it. I felt I would be blamed for everything that happened.

“And the second one, that was another terrible one that happened. I didn’t tell anybody in my family too but a friend of mine then and it was one of the reasons I ran away at that time.

“Now, the third one was with a guy who was my neighbour. He was a friend to my first boyfriend, though he was much older than him.”

“I was at his house but I never knew that he had such intention. He was hungry and asked me if I was hungry too. I told him that I was not hungry because I was already late and my aunty would be waiting for me.

“He started trying to touch me. I got up angrily and made my way to the door. I noticed that it was locked, he refused to open it and started dragging me.

“That brought back memories of the experience I had been through that first time. So, it dawned on me that it was about to happen again. I did not want it to happen so I wrestled with him. I tried to push him and ran into one of the rooms to open the window to scream but he pulled me back with my hair and gave me a dirty slap.

“I hit my head on the wall and he had his way with me. I cried when I got home that day.”

Iyabo Ojo added that the fourth one happened while she was married with two kids in her husband’s house.

According to her, “the other one happened after I got married to my husband and had my kids, then we moved to Ikeja.”

“I was raped by one of the armed robbers who came to our house. It is not easy to talk about rape. No matter how much you talk about it, you have to realise that it is painful, but you are not alone,” the actress added.

Jennifer Lopez, Alex Rodriguez break up after 4 years together

 

Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez have broken up their engagement.

E! News confirmed that the Hollywood couple has called off their engagement which is nearly two years.

Rodriguez proposed to Lopez in the Bahamas in March 2019 after dating for two years.

The news comes as a shock to fans after Jennifer Lopez and Alex spent Valentine’s Day together and also attended the Super Bowl in Miami in February.

The couple is yet to give details and reason for the break-up.

Alex had earlier announced that their marriage ceremony was postponed in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“You know we tried twice to get married in 2020. We got bit twice by Coronavirus.

“But you know, they say third time’s a charm, so let’s hope it is what we want to hear,” Alex shared on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”

Jennifer also told Elle magazine some months ago that they postponed the wedding twice because they were not eager to say ‘I do’.

“We had planned what we really, really wanted for the wedding, I don’t know if we will be able to re-create that.

“We canceled it, and since then, we have not really talked about it,” Jennifer said.
