What do you do after getting married and you find out that your husband is not circumcised? How do you deal with such? When u ask him why ain’t u circumcised and he says it’s painful”. Reacting to the post of the lady, some group members quizzed her on why she refused to do ‘background work’ before the marriage while others advised her to manage the situation since she was already married to the man. “Why didn’t you do some background work before marriage? Let him go to hospital and scrape it off, encourage him,” one Patience Inyang wrote. “I will only give him one week to get circumcised, if not I will do it myself because I am not ready to quit the marriage,” one Mary Arunta wrote.

Manchester United signing Osimhen is a risk
Manchester United star Rio Ferdinand has warned his former club to sign English star, Harry Kane, instead of Nigerian international, Victor Osimhen. Osimhen is one of several strikers currently on United’s radar, with Erik ten Hag keen to add goals to his squad and ease the burden on Marcus Rashford. The Nigerian footballer’s 23 goals in 30 appearances helped Napoli to its first Serie A title in 30 years earlier this month.

While Ferdinand admits the Nigerian would ‘tick every box’, the Reds’ former defender believes it would be a ‘risk’ to bring him across from Italy for such massive money. Speaking on his Five YouTube Channel, the retired footballer said; “A number nine is the obvious area that Man Utd need to sort out, we need to get a number in the building. There are two names that keep coming up – Osimhen from Napoli and Harry Kane. Ultimately, it is down to Kane and (Tottenham chairman) Daniel Levy. “If they both say ‘yes, we want to make it happen’, I think Man Utd get it done. The numbers can’t be ridiculous, Levy’s got to be realistic. They’ve got blood, sweat, tears, records, goals, and the lot out of Harry Kane. “Let the guy do what he needs to do now, man. Let him go on and try to compete for Champions Leagues, for championships, for cup competitions.”

However, Spurs are in danger of missing out on European football, while United despite being some way behind Premier League Champions, Manchester City, are at least now assured of a top four finish. Ferdinand added; “If he came to Man Utd, he might not even be competing for a title. It might take another year or two,” Ferdinand continued. “But they’re closer than where Spurs are, that’s the point. “Osimhen is a different kettle of fish. He’s 24, he’s scored goals in France and now in Italy. Won the league (in Italy) and knows how to win leagues. “He’s been a No.9 at a dominant team in the football league. Is that transferable to the Premier League? No one knows that. That’s the chance United would have to take on him. “That’s the only risk I see. He doesn’t know the league – that’s it. Ability wise and profile, goalscoring, he ticks every box, but there is an unknown factor in does he know how to play in the Premier League? Can he adapt to the Premier League? “But I wouldn’t see that as a big risk. I’d take either of those two and I’d be happy but the one thing with Kane, he guarantees you 20 or 25 goals a season. There’s no doubt in your mind he gets that when he comes to Man Utd.”
Ekweremadu, wife risk 10 years in UK prison for organ trafficking
Former Deputy President of the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu and his wife, Beatrice, risk being sentenced to 10 years imprisonment in accordance with the UK’s Modern Slavery Act 2015.
Following their guilty verdict delivered by Mr Justice Johnson on March 23rd, the duo was remanded in custody and will be sentenced on May 5. The accusations were also faced by a medical doctor, Obinna Obeta, and the Ekweremadus’ daughter, Sonia, who was later cleared of charges. Ike Ekweremadu and his wife were arrested after a young man from Lagos reported their alleged plans to harvest his organ, for which he was to be rewarded £80,000 for donating a kidney to Sonia in a private procedure at the Royal Free Hospital in London. The harvesting of organs falls under the umbrella of human trafficking, which is prohibited by the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015. The UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 According to the human trafficking offence in Section 2 Subsection 1 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, a person commits an offence if the person arranges or facilitates the travel of another person (“V”) with a view to V being exploited. Subsection 2 states that it is irrelevant whether V consents to the travel (whether V is an adult or a child). In Section 2 Subsection 7, the law stated that “a person who is not a UK national commits an offence under this section if any part of the arranging or facilitating takes place in the United Kingdom, or the travel consists of arrival in or entry into, departure from, or travel within, the United Kingdom.” The penalties under the Act stated in Section 5 Subsection that a person guilty of an offence under section 1 or 2 is liable, (a)on conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for life; (b)on summary conviction, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months or a fine or both. In Section 5 Subsection 2, a person guilty of an offence under Section 4 is liable (unless Subsection 3 applies), (a)on conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 10 years; (b)on summary conviction, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months or a fine or both. Subsection 3 states that where the offence under Section 4 is committed by kidnapping or false imprisonment, a person guilty of that offence is liable, on conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for life.
Bobrisky, James Brown, others risk jail as Reps consider crossdressing prohibition
Nigerian crossdressers would be facing jail terms if the bill seeking to prohibit crossdressing in the country is passed into law.
The bill, sponsored by a member of the House of Representatives, Muda Lawal Umar, passed first reading on Tuesday, is seeking to Amend Same Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Act 2013, to Prohibit Cross Dressing; and for Related Matters.
It is widely believed that the development will not sit well with the likes of Olanrewaju Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, James Chukwueze Obialor a.k.a James Brown, popular television host, Adenrele Oluwafemi Edun, widely known as Denrele; among others who are making a living from crossdressing.
Most worrisome for them, the bill seeks to amend Section 4 of the Act by inserting a new Sub-clause 3 that reads, “(1) Cross—dressing done publicly is prohibited.
“(2) A person shall be deemed to have committed the offence publicly where it is published or displayed publicly notwithstanding that it was committed privately or in any place that would have ordinarily been described as private.
“Provided that this section of this Act shall not apply to cross dressing in the course of a stage play or in any bona fide public entertainment.”
Particularly, the bill seeks to amend Section 5 of the Act by inserting a new Sub-clause 4 that reads:
“A person engaged in cross dressing is guilty of an offense and liable to imprisonment for six (6) months or to a fine of five hundred thousand naira (N500,000).”
Also amending section 7 of the Act, the bill seeks to introduce the word ‘cross dressing’ and defining it as “…the practice of wearing clothes usually worn by a person of the opposite s8x.”
