Why are people interested in seeing Mercy Johnson's marriage fail?   This story didn't just pop up from anywhere as there were related developments which led to the idea of a possible crack in Mercy Johnson's marriage.  When the news that Mercy Johnson had deleted all the pictures of her husband, Prince Odi Okojie from her Instagram page broke, all hell was let loose even though she has come out to defend it. Now a lot of people would say this is a sign that these guys are having issues and that the marriage would soon crash or might have crashed already. A major way to justify these guys who think the marriage might be having cracks is the that a number of celebrity marriages have crashed immediately they start deleting photos from their social media pages.  A typical example of a celebrity whose marriage crashed after they stop following each other and removed each other's photos on their Instagram page is Damilola Adegbite.   The

But there's life waiting beyond yonder horizon, and sometimes the demands of work mean there's little time to wallow. Which means that so much of the getting-over-it process happens in public. And if there are young children involved, then even getting a moment alone to accommodate the sudden, sporadic bursting of the tears that may happen for the first few months is a tall order. But the common goal, when all is said and done—when the hair's been dyed, or the cooking class taken, or the shots knocked back or the divorce papers filed—is not so much to make a major change as it is to simply feel like one's self again. That takes time, so the secret is really just to push th

Controversial media personality, Daddy Freeze, has again questioned the concept of tithing as preached in most churches. Freeze, on Tuesday, gave a poser to the Senior Pastor of Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC), Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo. He asked: “are we Melchizedekians or Christians?” Ashimolowo had tweeted: “Jesus is our High Priest after the ORDER of Melchizedek. If Abraham brought tithes to Melchizedek the High Priest, we, the seed of Abraham must also bring our tithes to Jesus, our High Priest.#ThePowerOfTheTithe.”‎ Freeze replied and asked: “So how come Jesus never collected tithe & how come no one ever ‘brought’ tithe to him or disciples? Are we Melchizedekians or Christians?” Reca

  Boris Becker has said an Alternative for Germany (AfD) MP accused of posting a "clearly racist" tweet about his son must now face "consequences". The German tennis champion said that an attempt by Jens Maier to distance himself from the post was a "trick". It comes after a tweet posted on the far-right politician's account referred to Noah Becker as "little half-negro". Noah Becker has an African-American grandfather on his mother's side. Mr Maier denies writing the tweet. The post has since been deleted from the Twitter account linked to Mr Maier, who has blamed one of his staff members. In a column written for the German newspaper Welt am Sonntag, Mr Becker said the denial by Mr Maier was a common response from members of Germany's AfD party.

Some parts of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos has been thrown into darkness for over three hours without any explanation from the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN).  Sahara Reporters at the international wing of the airport observed that the carousel area at the E-arrival  wing has been in darkness for major part of today without any solution to the problem by the engineers of FAAN. Also, the arrival area outside the terminal to the former car park, Home-tel, which is now used as a staff car park for FAAN officials, limousines and cab operators is also in total darkness. Passengers arriving from international destinations are made to trek to the car park in darkness, which is over 300 meters from the terminal, thereby exposing them to danger. FAAN had deployed a bus to the arrival terminal to convey passengers to and from the car park, but only one out of the four buses is operational at the moment, a situation, which makes
