Bride Dumps Groom On Wedding Day: See Why

A final student of Federal Polytechnic, Oko in Anambra State, southeast Nigeria, did the unthinkable when she snubbed her groom on her wedding day and called off the wedding already arranged by the two families.

  

      Ekene Uzoigwe:The supposed groom
 

According to Source, the wedding was to take place on Saturday, 3 January, 2015 and guests invited to witness the ceremony at St Patrick Catholic Church, Umuchu in Aguata Local government, Anambra State, were shocked when Ifunanya Igwebuike refused to show up to tie the knot with Ekene Uzoigwe.

After several hours of waiting, she later sent a message to the Parish Priest, Rev. Father Lawrence Maduagwu, that she was no longer interested and asked him to cancel the wedding.

Ifunanya alleged that she could not go ahead with the marriage because she was a graduate unlike Uzoigwe whom she claimed was a school drop-out.

Rev. Maduagwu had no option than to inform the groom and the guests that were already seated at the church hall that the wedding had been cancelled.

This caused an uproar in the church as guests who expressed shock over what happened started trooping out of the church.

Narrating what happened,  Uzoigwe said he proposed to Ifunanya for marriage and she agreed on condition that he would send her to school, which he agreed.

He said after she gained admission, he was financing her education and they agreed to wed during her final year.

He said he had paid her bride price and she was part of the whole wedding plan and he even gave her parents N160,000 to prepare for the wedding, besides other arrangements and expenses incurred on the wedding and reception.

Uzoigwe said she did not inform him about her decision to back out of the wedding until he got to the church only for the priest to inform him and the guests about  the cancellation of the wedding.

“If she had informed me, I would not have made arrangements. We had already cooked food and bought drinks for the wedding,” he said.

He said when he contacted her parents, they said they would not force her and asked him to come and take back the money he gave them to prepare for the wedding.

Uzoigwe said he was still shocked about what happened because he did not quarrel with Ifunanya before the fateful day.

He said he also made sure she was comfortable by making money available to her while in school.

Uzoigwe is a business man based in Abakiliki, the Ebonyi State capital. He met Ifunanya at their home town, Umuchu, where he proposed and sent her to school.

President Obama's Daughter, Malia Rocks Pro Era T-Shirt in Mysterious New Pic - See Photo

A mysterious new photo appearing to show U.S. President Barack Obama's eldest daughter, Malia Obama, wearing a hip-hop group's T-shirt is going viral.

Posted on social media Sunday, the picture features the 16-year-old in a white shirt emblazoned with the logo of Brooklyn-based collective Pro Era:

Malia Obama is seen with both arms behind her head, double ear piercings, a ponytail and a wide-mouthed expression that is neither a frown nor a smile.

While the image's exact origins and authenticity remain unknown, a member of the hip hop group confirmed that it had been sent by an Obama friend.

Pro Era founder Joey Bada$$ said through a rep that Pro Era had received the snapshot from "a mutual friend of Malia and the Pro Era member."

Public interest in the First Daughter has risen in the past year as she and her 13-year-old younger sister Sasha continue to display more personality.

Back in August, a rare selfie of Malia Obama showed the First Daughter at a Chance the Rapper show at the Lollapalooza music festival in Chicago.

They were slammed by a GOP Congressional aide for not showing enough class.

 

More recently, the two siblings joined their parents for a family vacation in Hawaii, where they disembarked Air Force One looking really grown up.

"One child is going to be driving this summer," First Lady Michelle Obama recently said of how quickly time passes when you're a parent. "Look out!"

"My youngest loves dancing. She dances in an organized program several times a week, but they’re into what kids are into," FLOTUS went on.

Apparently that includes Pro Era in Malia's case. What do you think of the pic? 

Would anyone care if it weren't the First Daughter? Should they? Discuss.

Mercy Johnson: I am Grateful and Happy New Year To My Fans

Mercy Johnson is grateful to her fans all over the world.

The Nollywood diva sent messages yesterday to thank her fans for their love and support they gave her in 2014. She also said she has received their complains about her not dressing up to standard and promises to change.

One of the best feelings one can have is the feeling that some people who have never met you in person have your back.

I have experienced love from unimaginable people; Ghana, Liberia, Paris, UK, USA, Seychelles and all over the world.

More Below......

Some met me crying, gave me gifts, took pictures, asked questions, and some, not so pleasant. But in all of these, I have no complaint because being where I am is a gift and privilege by God. A privilege and a place I never thought I would be, a few years ago. This level has its own attendant consequence, as I take in the blessing; I appreciate the not-so-pleasant side as well.  For this, I am grateful to God, my fans, and stakeholders in the industry who love me just the way I am.

I want to also say a very big thank you to my husband for giving me room to fly. Some men out there would probably have clipped my wings but Odi is not some kind of man. I want to say thank you for being so supportive and understanding.

I want to take this time to say thank you to everyone who made the journey of 2014 easier despite the attendant challenges. I am grateful to the marketers and my colleagues who stayed in touch with me even when I was pregnant, directors who were patient with me, fans who watched all the movies of 2014, those who took time out to search for me on Google, who corrected me in love and those who watched ‘30 Days in Atlanta’ (to make it biggest Nollywood movie in cinema history). I am also grateful to everyone who showed me one form of love or the other during the birth of our second son, Prince Henry: Nigerian Embassy in the US, social media followers and my ever diligent media and management company, Bigsam Media.

I plan and hope that 2015 will be different from previous years. The jobs I will do will be slightly different from that of the past. I will take up more challenges. I will also have to balance things out because I still have to play the role of a wife and mother, but all in all, there should be a new Mercy Johnson of sort.

As per the style, I have received all your complaints and I will try and improve but please, do not forget I am just a down-to-earth-girl-next-door. Thank you.

And please, AMVCA is around the corner, let’s win again together this year, on how to vote, check @bigsammedia on Twitter.

As always I am grateful. I wish you the best this year has to offer. Happy New Year.

5 Ways Fruits Can Help You Shed Weight

Did you know that adding more fruits to your diet can help you lose weight faster? Fruits are fortified with essential vitamins and minerals, which the body needs to function properly. Fruits also help us stay healthy and full of energy daily. There are also a few ways fruits help dieters to shed weight easier and quicker. Fruits contain carbohydrates that help fuel the body, and they are low in calories. If you are not a fruit junkie, look for some sneaky ways to incorporate at least five fruits into your everyday diet. You can use them in pies, juices, smoothies, oatmeal, cereals, salads, and desserts.

Fruits boast fantastic health benefits and here are a few weight loss benefits to know:

1. Fruits help burn fat

There are a few fruits that can help you burn more fat a day. One of the best fat-burning fruits is certainly grapefruit. This fruit helps boost your metabolism, stabilize your blood glucose levels, and burn more fat. However, it doesn’t mean that you should consume grapefruit only. Moderation is always a must, especially if you take any medications since it can increase the effects and side effects. Lemon is another fruit that helps burn more fat. It has fantastic detoxifying properties and helps improve your overall health. Aim to drink at least two glasses of lemon water each day to reap all its incredible benefits and reach your weight loss goal.

2. Fruits are low in calories

Even though there are certain fruits that are high in calories, those calories will not wreck your diet. One medium-size banana contains 120 calories, while a small one contains only 100 calories. Instead of reaching for commercial snacks, munch on a small banana, which is high in fiber that helps you feel full for longer. Apples, peaches and pears make a great healthy snack too. When you stick to a strict diet, consider incorporating more water rich fruits into your eating plan. They are lower in calories and higher in water that helps you stay hydrated throughout the day (but don’t forget about those 8 glasses of water a day!) As an added bonus, having a piece of fruit can help your satisfy your midday sugar cravings in a jiff and consume fewer calories. Most fruits are naturally sweet; you just need to find your favorite fruit and eat it instead of high-calorie desserts. One of the best ways fruits help you shed weight is that they help keep your calorie intake in check.

3. They fuel your workout

Fruit is one of the best foods to eat before and after your workouts. The thing is, fruit is an excellent source of glucose that helps fuel your muscles and boost your energy levels. Due to its high glucose content, fruits help muscle recover faster and work out harder. Snack on bananas, apples, blueberries, grapes, or pears before/after exercising to boost your energy and improve your exercise performance.

4. They help reduce bloating

Including water-rich fruits in your diet is a quick and easy way to reduce bloating, which is typically caused by excess fluid between your cells. There are certain fruits that can help release that fluid and eliminate bloating. Oranges, grapefruits, melons, pineapple are all good options. Due to their diuretic properties, lemons and watermelon help you get rid of bloating and feel much better after a meal.

5. Healthy snacks

If you live a busy lifestyle and want to keep your weight under control, you should pay a huge attention to the snacks you eat throughout the day. Chances are that busy schedules don’t allow you to eat healthy and it’s not surprising that you can’t achieve your weight loss goal. Whether you want to drop weight or stay slim, you should learn how to make healthy snack choices. Fruits make perfect snacks that will fuel your body, boost your metabolism and energy, and help you shed weight faster. Opt for a tasty fruit salad, add your favorite berries to a plain yogurt, use your favorite fruits in your smoothies and juices, and you won’t even notice that you don’t eat sweets and desserts.

There are many fruits to eat these days, and every fruit provides us with powerful health benefits. Adding fruits to your diet will help you stay healthy and drop weight with a little effort. Just make sure you work out regularly and drink enough water each day.
