Kanye West and Kim Kardashian agree joint custody after divorce

Kim Kardashian And Kanye West Have Agreed To Joint Custody Of Their Kids After Divorcing Over Their "Different Visions" For How To Raise Them.

Kanye West has agreed to joint custody of his and Kim Kardashian's four young children.

His response mirrors Kardashian's divorce filing from 19 February, which began the process of ending their almost seven year marriage.

In both of their filings, the US rapper and the TV reality star agreed that their marriage should end over irreconcilable differences.

They have also agreed that they do not need spousal support.

West and Kardashian have two daughters - North and Chicago, age seven and three respectively- and two sons - Saint, five, and Psalm, who turns two next month.

According to Kardashian's filing, they kept their property separate throughout their marriage because of the terms of a pre-nuptial agreement.

The couple are among the most recognizable stars in the world and are both hugely successful in their own right. Their marriage was one of the most closely followed in recent decades.

Kardashian, 40, first found fame in 2007 as the star of reality TV show about her family, Keeping Up With The Kardashians. The show has remained popular since then and is due to air its final series on the E! cable network next year.

Last week her multiple business ventures - including make up, shapewear and mobile apps - saw her gain billionaire status.

West, 43, is one of the biggest names in rap music, known for global hits like Stronger, Jesus Walks and Gold Digger. He has also found success as a fashion designer.

Last year, West unsuccessfully ran for US president. During his campaign, a series of erratic public appearances and online postings by the rapper sparked concern and led Kardashian to speak out.

She said her husband had bipolar disorder, was a "brilliant but complicated person" and called for greater empathy surrounding his mental health from the public and the media.

The American man identified as Tom Reynolds, expressly regretted exploring artefacts from the séance store in Brooklyn, New York after an item he bought forced him to abandon his home.

He bought a mirror which is believed to be used in the occult for predicting the future, however, the event that followed his purchase is one that he never foresaw.

Tom who has a black cat, hung his new black mirror on the wall, with the expectation that it will help him become somewhat of a seer.

Unfortunately, he walked in on the cat standing on its legs and staring into the mirror while making some gesticulations.

This scared him and forced him to move to his friend’s place, leaving his cat and the occult mirror behind.

His friend, Matthew Begbie shared the story online along with a photo Tom took before abandoning his house.

According to Matthew, his friend is currently house hunting and wishes to sell off his former house.

Scammers and fraudsters, according to the statement, circulate this phoney information that the new work visa applies to Nigerian citizens aged 40-55.

But in a statement released by the US Mission in the country, there is nothing of such and so Nigerians are advised to be on guard so they don’t fall victims.

“The U.S. Embassy in Abuja and Consulate in Lagos is warning Nigerians not to fall victims to the scam. It is the same old scam, but in fresh packaging – don’t become a victim! If you have questions about whether visa information is legitimate, please refer only to official sources”

Ada Jesus: You have a good heart – Uche Elendu Praises Rita Edochie

Recall that Ada Jesus is known to be in a very pitiful state having been struck with both kidney disease and stroke. The comedienne was advised to seek forgiveness from those she offended in her skits, hence her sickness seemed extramundane.

Ada Jesus was recently at the church of controversial cleric, Prophet Odumeje, where Rita Edochie worships, to seek for forgiveness.

The veteran actress however insisted that she was not going to forgive Ada Jesus and the skit maker would die on her sick bed.

But after much persuasion from Nigerians, the actress bowed to pressure and decided to forgive the comedienne.

She took to her Instagram page this morning to post that she had forgiven Ada Jesus and her colleagues in the industry have been showering praises on her for making the move.

In her reaction actress Uche Elendu also applauded her for this motherly display.

In Uche’s words:

”I knew you will forgive her, you were only hurt by her lies, ure my momma and I know your heart is made of Gold, the lord will always vindicate his own, may God forgive her. Love you.”

Dying Nurse Confession: I Used to Swap New Born Babies For Fun When I Was in Maternity Ward

A dying nurse has begged God for forgiveness while confessing that she swapped thousands of babies while she was working as a nurse in UTH.Elizabeth Mwewa, a nurse who worked at University Teaching Hospital, formerly called Lusaka Hospital, in Lusaka, Zambia, confessed on her sick bed that she exchanged the babies of thousands of new mothers while she worked at the maternity ward of UTH.

Elizabeth Bwalya Mwewa now suffers from cancer and, as she lay on her sickbed, she confessed to all her crimes.

She said on Monday: "May God Forgive me for my sins."

She added: "I used to swap babies at UTH for fun."

She continued: "I have terminal cancer and I know I will be dying soon. I wish to confess my sins before God and before all the affected people especially those who were giving birth at UTH during my service. I have found God. I'm now born again. I have nothing to hide, In the 12 years I worked in the maternity ward at UTH, I swapped close to 5000 babies.

"If you were born in UTH between the years 1983 to 1995 chances are your parents may not be your biological parents. I had developed a habit of swapping newly born babies just for fun. So take a good look at your siblings, if for example everyone is light and you are darkie... you are that child and I am really sorry for that.

"I know I sinned against God and may he forgive me for that. I am also asking Zambians to forgive me for the evil things I was doing to innocent children.

"I have caused some faithful couples to divorce after going for DNA Tests. It's now that I have realised I was just being used by a demon to do that. I have caused many mothers to Bosom feed children who are not theirs biologically.

"I don't want to go to Hell for that, I'm really sorry I have sinned a lot. Please forgive me."
