It was a shocking scene yesterday, February 7, when a woman who had been pregnant for about 3 years in Rivers state, gave birth to a goat.
According to a Facebook user, Simeon Chukwu, the woman got delivered at Karaka Community Hall in Rumuowha Eneka area of Port Harcourt.
The hopes of family members who were excited that the lady had finally gone into labour were dashed after they were told that she delivered a goat instead of a baby.
The Calvin Harris/Ne-Yo Track ‘Let’s Go‘ is inoffensive enough. Unless you are Zoe Fennessy, who will suffer an epileptic seizure within seconds of Ne-Yo’s vocals kicking in.
The 26-year old from England realized she had this bizarre affliction in 2011 when she heard Ne-Yo’s first big hit, ‘Give Me Everything’ featuring Pitbull, and suffered a seizure. She had had a few seizure before, but as Ne-Yo’s voice became more common, she noticed it was always triggering the attacks. She told her doctors this, and they were amazed when they played a Ne-Yo song and her epilepsy kicked right in.
‘Let’s Go’ ubiquity in England has been a huge problem for Fennessy.
‘I’ll be walking around the supermarket doing my food shopping and I have to put my earphones in to listen to my own music just in case it comes on,” she told Daily Mail of the dance track. ‘Whenever I hear the first few beats of the song I have to drop whatever I am doing and run.’
In June, doctors removed a chunk of her brain (the left temporal lobe) in hopes this would cure her affliction. While it’s made her attacks less severe, she still seizes up when she hears Ne-Yo.
“[Doctors] are saying it could possibly be something in the tone of his voice, something like that, but it doesn’t happen when I hear Usher, or people like him who have a very similar sound. It is only him, only Ne-Yo.”
“If he ever releases a greatest hits album it’s going to be a nightmare,” she added.
Tears and blood rolled down the face of a pastor’s wife after the Nigerian pastor, who is based in Houston, named Pastor Jimba allegedly attacked his wife and almost killed her.
According to the Facebook user who shared the photos, the attack was over church money – Pastor Jimba had allegedly stabbed his wife with a kitchen knife.
Comedian, Gordons frowned at 2face Idibia’s approach towards fighting the government through national protest, saying he got it wrong, he mentioned musical icons that made huge impact in their struggle against oppressive or under-performing governments employing the tools that they could use well, which was music. In an interview with HipTv, he said
“2face is my mentor when it comes to music. He is one musician I adore, legendary to me. But you cannot use a tool that you are not used to
“When Fela was fighting government, he used a tool that he was used to, that was music. Then Osayomore Joseph in Benin city, fought government and used a tool he was used to. Sunny Okosuns before he died was fighting for freedom with the tool that he was used to.
“How on earth would 2face be fighting a fight that he is not used to. 2face is not a politician, he is a musician. If he wants to lead a protest, he should lead with music. “How are you going to express yourself 2face when microphone is right in your face and you are asked to express your grievance and the reason why you are protesting? You can’t express yourself, it’s not your game. Do it with music you are used to. 2face is the only illiterate who can sing correctly,” he said
An estimated half a million Romanians have continued to protest against the government, with many calling on it to quit even after it scrapped the corruption legislation that sparked a week of public outrage.
The prime minister, Sorin Grindeanu, has stood firm, saying his government, which has been in office for barely a month, “has a responsibility to the people who voted for us” and would not resign.
The last six nights of large, noisy protests in cities and towns around the country have been the biggest outpouring of public anger since the toppling of the communist dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu in 1989.
The object of public anger was an emergency decree passed on Tuesday night that critics at home and abroad feared marked an alarming retreat in the battle against corruption, long the scourge of the EU’s second-poorest country.
Romania: government retracts controversial decree after protests
On Sunday, Grindeanu’s cabinet repealed the decree, but this failed to assuage protesters, many of them taking to the streets that night chanting “Resign! Resign!” as they waved flags, brandished signs and blew whistles and plastic horns in the national colours.
“They are corrupt. We want justice … the government will still try something [with the decree],” said Emma, 24, one of between 200,000 and 300,000 people estimated to have gathered at Victory Square in central Bucharest.
“They are liars and bad people,” said her friend Nicole, 25. “The government has to fall … We are going to come back here every night.”
The decree, which had been scheduled to come into force on 10 February, would have made abuse of power a crime punishable by jail only if the sums involved exceeded 200,000 lei (£38,000).
The government still plans, via a separate decree to be reviewed by parliament, to free about 2,500 prisoners serving sentences of less than five years.
Grindeanu’s Social Democrats (PSD) have argued the measures were meant to bring penal law into line with the constitution and reduce overcrowding in prisons. But critics see the moves as a brazen attempt to let off the many PSD officials and parliamentarians who have been caught in a major anti-corruption drive in recent years.
Almost 2,000 people were convicted for abuse of power between 2014 and 2016, and a serving prime minister, five ministers, 16 parliamentarians and five senators were put on trial.
Critics have said one beneficiary would be Liviu Dragnea, the head of the PSD who helped the party win a resounding election victory in December. Dragnea is barred from serving in government because of a conviction for voter fraud and is currently on trial for alleged abuse of power. He denies wrongdoing.
