Heavy rains and lightning kill 124 People in Zimbabwe

Eighty-six people have drowned while 38 others were struck by lightning across the country since the beginning of the rainy season.

The heavy rains have also destroyed 180 houses in Tsholotsho, leaving most of the families homeless. In Beitbridge district, the rains have caused widespread damage to roads leaving some areas impassable.

The Civil Protection Unit yesterday said major rivers in Gokwe such as Ume, Sesame and Sengwa were in flood. Several people were reportedly marooned on some of them.

It urged people in the areas to desist from water-related activities along the rivers.

"Gwayi River and its tributaries in Tsholotsho are in flood. The Tamuhla community is likely to be marooned if the rains continue. We advise them to monitor the river flow. Several homesteads in Tsholotsho (180 to date) have succumbed to excessive moisture and have collapsed and some families have been left homeless as a result. It is advised that communities monitor their houses to prevent injury and loss of life from collapsing structures," the department said.

According to police, most of the victims drowned after attempting to cross flooded rivers. Others have had vehicles they were travelling in swept away in flooded rivers and bridges.

Police spokesperson Superintendent Andrew Phiri said the incidents were recorded between September 1 and Wednesday. He said Manicaland and Masvingo provinces recorded the highest number of casualties through drowning with 18 and 13 respectively.

"Bulawayo had the lowest number with one person having drowned," he said.

He said Masvingo had the highest numbers of 12 people struck by lightning followed by Midlands with 11. No such cases were recorded in the other provinces. Supt Phiri discouraged the public from crossing or encouraging drivers to cross flooded rivers and bridges. He said motorists in cities should drive cautiously since most of the pot holeswould be filled with water and this might cause accidents.

Four more people, including the driver, drowned when a Mercedes Benz they were travelling in was swept away at a flooded river bridge in Chiredzi on Wednesday.

This brought the total number to 14 people who drowned when their vehicles were swept away at flooded rivers and bridges in separate incidents this month. The incident occurred at around 8pm. There were several cars queuing at the flooded river but the driver of the Mercedes Benz overtookbefore plunging into the bridge.

Ten people had drowned when vehicles they were travelling in were swept away by flooded rivers and bridges in separate incidents by last week.

In Beitbridge, roads including those linking Tshikwalakwala, Chabili, Masera, Shashe and Swereki with Beitbridge town were destroyed by the heavy rains. This emerged during a tour by the Beitbridge Civil Protection Unit to assess the flood situation in low-lying areas around the district.

Prophet Uebert Angel Of Zimbabwe attacks Prophet TB Joshua during prophecy

Flamoyant and seemingly too boastful Prophet Uebert Angel Mudzanire, who owns free-to-air satellite channel Miracle TV, has done it again.

Thistime, the too pompous and youthful prophet has supposedly decided to grab controversial headlines at international level.

Angel, who is the founder of Spirit Embassy Ministries, pulled a shocker - ONCE MORE - when he allegedly attacked the so-popular yet humble Nigerian Televangelist Prophet TB Joshua while prophesying a Zambian woman in Harare.

According to an article published by Prophet TB Joshua's official Facebook page, TB Joshua Ministries, Angel reportedly attacked Prophet TB Joshua in November 2012.

The Nigerian Prophet said he received almost 20 emails from various people who informed him aboutthe said incident where the 'miracle money prophet', Angel, is said to have attacked Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) and allegedly accused its leader of only prophesying about the death of the next president.

Prophet TB Joshua, who accurately prophesied the death of Malawian President Bingu WaMutharika last year in February and in March, published an email which he received from one of his followers, a Zambian national who only identified himself as Patrick.

"My name is Patrick and I am writing from Zambia. Irecently visited Zimbabwe from Zambia and discovered something that has confused me. I attended the service of a well known Prophet called Uebert Angel who owns Miracle TV. While he was prophesying to a certain lady from my country, he told her that she was supposed to go somewhere else but because of financial difficulties, the woman eventually came to him. The lady replied that she had wanted to go to The SCOAN in Lagos, Nigeria to see Prophet T.B. Joshua.

"Prophet Angel then asked her why she wanted to go to a place where 'they would only tell you when the next president will die'. He told her that it was in his own church where she would hear the reality. I was very shocked to hear this. Also, during a partners meeting of Prophet Angel which I attended, he even boasted, 'T.B. Joshua is the one who always calls me on the phone. I do not phone him.' He asked one of his ushers to stand up and confirm this, which he did. This happened recently, in the second week of November 2012," reads part of the email.

Responding to the claims, Prophet TB Joshua acknowledged that he believed what his Zambian follower had told him. He revealed that almost 20 people have so far contacted him reporting the same claims.

"Brother Patrick, thank you for your email. Remember, Jesus said there will be trouble. Indeed,there is reason to be troubled because of what the founder of Miracle TV, Uebert Angel, said about me and my ministry. I believe what you said in your email. It was true Angel (of Miracle TV) saidthis in his service. There were almost 20 emails I received saying the same thing. Brother Patrick, I have nothing to say. I leave my battle for God. He has been fighting for me and He will continue to fight for me – because the battle is of God," said part of the man of God's response.

Efforts by My Zimbabwe to sought a comment from Prophet Angel were futile as his spokesman, Pastor Brian Angel's mobile phone was not reachable.

It is interesting, however, to note that while Angelhas allegedly boasted of being 'more powerful' than Prophet TB Joshua, undoubtedly Prophet TB Joshua is respected by so many celebrities and government officials from various countries, much more than Angel himself. The SCOAN has been flocked by countless prominent figures from all walks of life including Zimbabwe's Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, who visited him in September 2009, Minister Kembo Mohadi and Manicaland governor Chris Mushowe. Other Zimbabwe government officials who have visited TB Joshua include Home Affairs co-minister Theresa Makone, ex-minister Tracy Mutinhiri and Oppah Muchinguri.

Over the past 3 weeks, Angel has been talk of the nation after he mysteriously 'produced miracle money'. The man of God was recently advised by RBZ Governor to quit his 'miracle money' thing and look for a job or get a loan and start a farming business.

In November last year, Angel also boasted over hisflamboyant lifestyle when he turned a sermon into a 'wealth show' in Bulawayo. The HEAVILY GUARDED prophet was in the company of SIX BODYGUARDS, eight-year-old son who also had two huge body guards by his side, brother Pastor Lee Angel and some other pastors from his church.

"I have a good marriage - if you talk about money; I have gone beyond confession. I have confidence in my anointing. Some of you might think I became a pastor because I am not educated - it might shock you that in Zimbabwe, I am the most educated pastor. I taught finance in the UK," he claimed.

Nyirenda said during trial that on the fateful night around 22:00 hours, he returned from a drinking spree and was later woken up by the owner of the chicken Gift Michelo.

He said Mr Michelo locked him in his house and went to call his neighbours before he was handedover to the police for no reason.

But in his testimony, Mr Michelo testified that on the night of the event around 23:00 hours he was woken up by a chicken which was making noise. He traced the noise to Nyirenda’s house.

When he entered the house, he saw Nyirenda throw the chicken through the window in panic.

Mr Michelo picked the chicken and realised that it was his and when he checked it, he noticed that itwas soiled behind by Nyirenda. He then called the police who arrested him.

A Bulawayo woman from Bradfield, Zimbabwe suburb has moved out of her matrimonial home after finding her husband having gay sex with his longtime friend.

The neighbour claimed he had spotted the two caressing in the garage and after noticing that they had been spotted, he claims they approachedhim pleading that he keeps it to himself.," said the wife.

Man Divorces Wife, Marries Biological Daughter, Impregnates Her Twice

A 50-year-old man from Dikili Village in Tsholotsho, Zimbabwe left villagers tongue-tied when he allegedly divorced his wife to marry his own daughter. The marriage which sources claimed was done for ritual purposes was blessed with two baby boys aged six and two.

It is reported that Doubt Sibanda had since moved from his matrimonial home to live with his daughter-cum-wife Ntombikayise Sibanda (28) in Pumula South suburb of Bulawayo. It is alleged that the said incestrous relationship started in 2007 when Doubt allegedly impregnated his daughter who gave birth to a bouncing baby boy Hlabekani, who is the eldest.

As if the s*xual fruits from the relationship in a prohibited degree was not enough, two years later they reportedly sired another baby boy they named Thulani, literally meaning KEEP QUIET as if to silence their critics over their relationship. According to sources, the two became lovers when the wife Sikhangezile was working in South Africa.

"The relationship started when Mai Ntombi was in South Africa. Everyone thought they were just close as father and daughter until we discovered that she was pregnant and the father was responsible. But the matter was swept under the carpet," said a relative who requested anonymity.
Later in 2010, Ntombi became pregnant again and delivered a baby boy whose facial appearance was very much similar to that of his alleged grandfather and father at the same time.

However, when contacted for comment, Sikhangezile Ntombi's mother refuted the allegations that her husband allegedly impregnated his daughter but confirmed that the two were now staying as husband and wife.

"My husband is now living with our daughter in Pumula South. It is for their best although Ntombi claimed that the father of her two children was in South Africa," she said.

When contacted for comment, Ntombi and her father were evasive and dismissed the allegations.

"THIS IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!!! There is nothing like that which happened. The father of the two boys is in South Africa," claimed Sibanda

A nine-year-old boy of Indian origin, whose father hails from Tamil Nadu, has become the youngest Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS). Until recently, the record was held by Dubai-based Babar Iqbal, who earned the credential when he was 12. Pranav Kalyan, a 4th grade student of Willow Elementary School, California, cleared the MCTS exam in ASP.NETFramework 3.5 on January 12.

“As a toddler, Pranav was more fascinated by computers than toys. He started writing small software programs at the age of six,” said his father Kalyan, who was born in Madurai and is settled in California. “He is capable of solving problems in differential calculus and integral calculus. His efficiency in mathematics helped him write programs,” said Kalyan.

Speaking to TOI over phone, Pranav said he wanted to be a scientist. “I was introduced to the world of computers when I was two,” he said.


Pranav found that his love for maths and the challenge of solving complicated problems helped him write computer programs, which required logical skills. The boy, who started to write simple HTML programs when he was six years old, has been seriously preparing himself for the past 18 months. “I spend at least eight hours a day on computer programming during holidays,” he said.

17-Yr-Old SS2 Girl Committed Suicide After Being Caught In a Boy’s House

For fear of facing the shame of being caught ina boy’s house, a 17-year-old SS2 student, Christiana Silas, decided to commit suicide by taking a dose of insecticide in Karatudu area, Gonin Gora, Kaduna state, last christmas.

Prior to the suicidal action, we gathered that the teenager was caught in a boy’s room in theneighourhood after being declared missing for hours.

The late girl allegedly disappeared from the house at about 9pm on Christmas day without disclosing her whereabouts to anyone.

Eyewitnesses claimed that family members and residents searched round Karatudu and Romi area for hours but all efforts proved futile.
On giving his account of the tragic incident, Christiana’s father, Mr. Silas Wuyah, said “whenwe asked one of the boys living in the compound opposite the house, he said she was not there, but my brother’s wife said she didn’t trust the boy because she wondered why he was staying outside up till about 11pm.”

Adhering to her instincts, his brother’s wife ignored the boy, went into his room and found the girl lying on his bed and covered with blanket.

“So my family members who were already confused and bitter over what happened rushed at the boy and started beating him. In the process of beating him, my daughter went inside the house and drank chemical used for killing termites.

She was found foaming and rolling on the floor inside the parlour,” the bereaved father confirmed.

She was immediately rushed to a hospital in Gonin Gora, but she did not make it.

“I rushed back from Zaria to the hospital in Gonin Gora and it was confirmed to me that she was dead. I am still imagining what her problem could be that she has to kill herself. Maybe she was afraid of shame that she was caught in a boy’s room,” he added.

When asked if action would be taken against the boy in question, he said: “If I am to drag any case with the boy, I will just be wasting my time, because my daughter would not come back. The boy is part of the family, because he always comes to my house and I do send him on errands.

Though I know that my daughter killed herself after she left his room, I have forgiven him. I know it is evil spirit that entered and asked her to take the chemical and die so that she will not listen to what anybody will say.”

Mr Silas claimed that the boy in question was not her boyfriend, but neighbours insisted that the boy was Christiana’s boy friend.

They also speculated that she probably killed herself to cover up for the shame of being in a boy’s room at that hour, or that perhaps she was pregnant and did not want to face the shame that might come later.

Sympathizers have continued to throng the house of Mr. Silas to console him over the deathof his daughter who has since been buried.

Until her death, the late Christana Silas was an SSS2 student of Government Day Secondary School, Romi.

Man Marries Mother-Inlaw After The Death Of His Wife

Zimbabwe – In an unprecedented move, a man and his mother-in-law defied all social norms and got married two years after the death of the man’s wife.

The man, Judah Magarasadza’s wife Rozie Gopoza died in 2008 and two months later his mother-in-law Felistus moved in with him. It is reported that the two then started a love relationship which culminated in them trying the knot in 2010. The wedding reception is understood to have been low key. This was a result of the two’s families refusal to bless the marriage.

Both families reportedly declined to take part in wedding negotiations after the man and the mother-in-law approached them saying they wanted to solemnise their ‘illicit’ relationship. Despite the setback, the two would not allow anyone to flout their plans and went on to get married.

From 2010 to December last year, the two were living as husband and wife. However, after the mandied, things took a downward trend for the mother-in-law c*m-wife. Sources said the woman was barred from the funeral by her husband’s relatives who vehemently told her that they did not recognise her relationship with their son.

“She was thrown out. Anyway who would blame them? They were very right in doing so. What kind of a relationship is that,” blasted the source.

It is said the woman was also barred from attending the burial at the man’s rural home. Our news crew finally got hold of Magaraszadza’s brother who identified himself as Joseph Magarasadza. He confirmed that his late brother was involved in a love relationship with his mother-in-law which he described as ‘illegal’.

“No such thing can be allowed to happen in our society. Both parents refused to take part in lobola negotiations after my brother and the woman said they wanted to get married,” he said.

Joseph said contrary to reports that the woman was banned from the funeral, she had actually made the decision herself.

“We had a meeting with her and her brother and that is when she said she would not be at the funeral because people were saying thing about her. No one stopped her from attending the funeral,” he said.

In an attempt to get a comment from the once a ‘mother-in-law’, a woman who answered the phonesaid the issue was not for public consumption.

Letter To Gov. Okorocha Over The Men Beaten Because Of HomoSuxuality

Three men tied together, paraded naked and beaten in Ekwe



Our organization have reliably confirmed and authenticated the incident and of the identity of one of the men in the picture, and are calling on security agents to quickly respond to the plight of these men. As it is, only the perpetrators and the community can tell the whole world what has become of these men who were seriously beaten up, stripped naked and paraded around the community bounded together like animals on allegation that they were caught having sex together.

As I write, our source reliably confirmed that the men were yet to be released from the location where they are being held in Umuka, Njaba Local Government Area of Imo State.

We demand that the plight of these men be given the urgent attention it deserves by the Nigerian Police and other security agencies, and we especially appeal to Owelle Rochas Okoroch, Executive Governor of Imo State to intervene to save their lives.

While acknowledging that several Nigerians find the practice of homosexuality strange and unnatural, we also realize that it does not confer a license to trample on the rights of people who engages in it, with the sort of inhuman treatment that was meted out to these them.

So many informed commentators, including Nobel Prize winner, Prof Wole Soyinka have commented on the scientifically proven fact that more than anything, gays are just victims of biology.

We note and condemn the prevailing adverse legal and social environment that most LGBT now have to face in Nigeria, being criminalised for their sexual orientation and being made a target for harassment and violent assault fuelled by the on-going debates by the nation’s parliament on criminalizing homosexual acts.

Instead of being singled out for harassment and prosecution, what this community deserves is support and access to sexual health services thatthey lack as citizens of this country. The LGBT community remain a high risk group to HIV/AIDS infection, yet it is a community that has been denied of all access to life saving HIV/AIDS services. We suggest that our parliamentarians should devote equal energy at fishing out and punishing our treasury thieves who are doing moreharm to the continued survival of our nation instead of dissipating energy on an issue that borders on private morality.

We enjoin other rights group to show solidarity and ensure that the rights of sexual minorities areprotected like other marginalized groups in the country.

Thank you,

Presidential Aide Denies Marrying Nkiru Sylvanus

Nkiru, according to reports on the internet, married the Senior Special Assistant to the Vice President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Umar Sani, as second wife just a week after she was released by kidnappers. The report also claimed it was Mallam Sani that paid the N8million ransom money.

Here is the picture that sparked the rumours:
Mallam Umar Sani has reacted to the report, calling it ridiculous and a figment of the writer's imagination. He said to reporters at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, yesterday evening:

"The report is very funny. How can you marry somebody you have not seen for over three months? The last time I saw her was in September so how can a marriage take place when the subject matters have not seen each other? I have not married Nkiru Sylvanus and if a wedding of such took place, people should be able to name the place, date and time. It is not true".

Top 10 Ugliest Celebrrities

By nature or personal choice, they are rich and famous and yet... ugly as hell!


1. Michael Jackson


Did you really expect anyone else? Michael Jackson used to be a successful black singer, but took it upon himself to destroy his face and reputation. He now looks like an albino alien whose nose appears to change on a daily basis. Just goes to show you what can happen if you are too critical of your looks... you can end up an albino alien like Mike.


2. Marilyn Manson


Seriously ... what the hell happened to this kid? From the ghostly white makeup you can see on his black collar to the funky blue eye and blood red lips ... Marilyn Manson is a freak and there's nothingmore to say, he's ugly by choice. And not only is he ugly, but he scares the crap out of us.


3. Jocelyn Wildenstein


Holy crap! This is what happens when you get obsessed with plastic surgery. A wealthy socialitefrom Switzerland, Jocelyn is actually a celeb for being so ugly. Her extreme appearance has led to the press giving her the nickname "The Bride of Wildenstein," a reference to The Bride of Frankenstein. Wildenstein has allegedly spent almost US$4,000,000 on cosmetic surgery over the years, all payed by her husband, the billionaire international art dealer Alec Wildenstein.


4. Michael Berryman



No, it is not make-up. This actor born in LA, suffersfrom Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia (a rare condition leaving him with no sweat glands, hair, fingernails or teeth). He played Pluto in Wes Craven's 1977 horror film The Hills Have Eyes. He has also appeared in numerous science fiction and fantasy movies such as My Science Project (1985), Weird Science (1985), Armed Response (1986) and Evil Spirits (1990). He also appeared in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and The Devil's Rejects. Berryman generally portrays mutant bikers, evil undertakers, monsters and other frightening characters. He has also starred in episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation and The X-Files.


5. Marty Feldman


And yet another terrible case. Marty Feldman (1934 – 1982) was an English writer, comedian and BAFTA award winning actor, notable for his bulging eyes, which were the result of a thyroid condition known as Graves Disease. He wrote situation comedies such as The Army Game, Bootsie and Snudge for the BBC and later had a series of his own on the BBC called Marty. He also appeared in The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother and Mel Brooks' Silent Movie, as well as directing and starring in The Last Remake of Beau Geste. He guest-starred in the "Arabian Nights" episode of The Muppet Show.


6. Kelis


Holy hell ... Kelis is not bringin' any boys to the yard looking like that. There have been rumors that she is really a man, and quite frankly we are thinking something's not right with this chick. Every time we see her she has her mouth open and looks like she's ready to eat us. She's scary. Next time we seeher, we are looking for the Adam's apple.


7. Ronaldinho


Probably the world's best soccer player at this time, Ronaldinho might be one of the funniest, honest, and nicest celebs around... but he's also one of the ugliest. This brazilian is certainly saving his huge salary for something other than helping his image.


8. Steven Tyler


Dude looks like a zombie. He's a great singer, a cool guy, the daddy of one of the hottest girls on hollywood, plus all the money and women one could ever dream of... and yet... ugly as hell.


9. Iggy Pop


Rock singer, songwriter, and occasional actor, he is sometimes referred to by the nicknames "the Godfather of Punk". Iggy Pop was the lead singer of The Stooges, a late 1960s/early 1970s garage rock band who were influential in the development of the nascent heavy metal and punk rock genres. The Stooges became infamous for their live performances, during which it was not uncommon for Iggy Pop to leap off the stage (in fact, he wasamong the first to "stage dive"), smear raw meat (and on one occasion peanut butter) over his chest and/or cut himself with broken bottles. So this is how you get ugly by being nut.


10. Shane MacGowan


This Irish musician is best known as the original singer and songwriter with The Pogues, and is considered one of the most important and poetic Irish songwriters of the last thirty years. A great find for our list... he's terribly horrible.

15-Year-Old Prostitute In Zimbabwe Narrates How They Get Raped, Forced To Have Unprotected Sex

At 15, Elsie is a well-known figure in Avenues area doing what she knows best – survivingas a hooker. But the life of a prostitute, as Elsie and others have discovered, is not a bed of roses.
Elsie explains that life as a prostitute is very hard as sometimes clients refuse to pay for services provided whereas others even refuse to use protection. Since she is desperate for money she cannot deny them as they will offer more money .




“Clients sometimes force us to have unprotectedor oral séx whilst others force themselves on us. As if it is not enough, the police on the other handarrest us for loitering or even detain us for failing to pay fines after being arrested,” Elsie lamented.

Sometimes the cops demand séx in exchange for the hookers’ freedom. The likes of Elsie, when hunting for clients and in a bid to beat competition, have to be roaming around the streets or stalking clients at entertainment joints. Elsie is not the only séx worker facing this ordeal day in day out. Prostitutes are abused by either their clients or even some members of the security force. Society shuns these people as they regard them as social outcasts.

Nyarai (20) a regular prostitute at a local nightclub said if one joins the trade they have to learn to be tough with the clients as most of the clients are cheats and bullies.

“Imagine this other day I got myself a client and we agreed that he was going to pay me $50 the whole night for my services. When we got to his place he started demanding oral séx citing that the money he was paying me was too much and also he would add $20 more. I agreed to his demands but to my disappointment the client refused to pay me. The following day, he started shouting obscenities as he violently forced me out of his house empty handed,” said a tearful Nyarai.

Charity who plies her trade in the same avenues area with Nyarai lamented her ordeal showing this reporter her blue-black eye she got after she refused to perform oral séx for a client.

“I was physically abused, you can see these bruises on my face that I have tried to conceal with heavy makeup, however the problem is we are never taken seriously,” she said.

Charity did not only get to suffer physical abuse but was also robbed of $80 that she had made the previous day. She also narrated how her friend in the trade whom she referred to as Senator was raped by a client after she had refused to engage in séx before the client had paid her for her services.

The client got furious and forced himself on her friend and had unprotected séx with her.

“The man pinned her down and had unprotected séx with her for the whole night, he also denied her freedom to leave till morning time,” narrated Nyarai.

She went on to say that Senator could not report the offence the next day as she thought that the police would not sympathise with her as she is just a prostitute, furthermore the events were common in their trade thus it was “not new and worth reporting”.

Gone are the days when prostitution was engaged by women who would have gone througha failed marriage(s) or widow nowadays girls as young as 14 are engaging into the trade due to factors such as poverty, domestic abuse and lack of adequate education.

Most prostitutes are either physically or séxuallyabused, but let their violators walk scot-free because of the stigma attached to the profession. The ordeals that prostitutes go through, one can be left to wonder if these people are aware of their rights as women and human beings.

Rumbidzai – a hardcore in the business said they must face whatever comes along their way because for one to be regarded a prostitute she must go through the following experiences: spending the night in police cells, forced to have unprotected séx and being denied payment after offering services.

Nollywood bids farewell to Enebeli Enebuwa Story

Procession for late Enebeli



Eyes popped on the streets of Lagos as Segun Arinze coordinated the traffic. Onlookers waved at Charles Okafor. Cars stopped, not for traffic lights but to gaze at Joseph Benjamin. Celebrities walked the streets, because Enebeli Elebuwa now walks in the land of the dead. A bitter-sweet-celebration formed the candle light procession organised in honour of the departed veteran actor by the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN). The procession commenced from Masha bus stop, in Surulere and terminated at the National Stadium complex amid grief.

The parade included the high and mighty in the movie industry. They included the incumbent president of AGN, Miss Ibinabo Fiberesima, Segun Arinze, Joseph Benjamin, Monalisa Chinda, Rita Dominic, Uche Jombo, Okey Bakassi and Charles Inojie. Others were Yul Edochie, Halima Abubakar, Yaw, Richard Mofe-Damijo who represented Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta State, ZackOrji, Stephanie Okereke, Julius Agwu among other celebrities.

The event was anchored by Okey Bakassi. Despite the mood of the gathering, there seemed to be an underlying excitement in the air, as onlookers watched with keen interest. At the stadium, the celebrities took turns to pay their last respect totheir senior colleague.

AGN President, Ibinabo, sang songs of praises to God, just as the deceased’s family made a brief remark about the departed actor.

What many would consider as the highpoint of the evening was Stephanie Okereke’s farewell addressto Enebeli.

Invited by the compere, emotion-laden Steph, representing the big girls in Nollywood knelt down with tears rolling down her cheeks, as she cried out, “Lord, we would not bury anyone again this year, we declare every sick person healed today in Jesus name. ”

Soon, it was the turn of ace-comedian, Julius Agwu, who sang soul-rendering songs that moved everyone in the gathering as he reeled out the names of all the departed Nollywood actors, including Enebeli.

In her speech, AGN president advised Nollywood practitioners to be more conscious of their health, explaining the need for them to embrace the health programme of the guild by simply registering with the sum of N1,000. It was a night of celebration of the life and times of Enebeli Elebuwa who died last December, in India.

PHOTOS Of A Man With The Largest Scrutum Who Refused Surgery

A Las Vegas man with a rare condition (scrotal lymphedema) which makes his scrotum grow big, has bluntly refused to undergo surgery that could relieve himof his heavy scrotum.

Wesley Warren Jr’s scrotum has grown up to 458kg (100 pounds), through the years.
Reports state that he refused the offer to undergo treatment that would cost millions of dollars, because he has to give up his rights to the story.

Warren was offered help by a famous Dr Oz, of the Dr Oz show and a regular on the Oprah Winfrey show, Oz reportedly offered to pay for his treatment in the best medical hospital on conditions that his show will keep the rights to tell the story.


But he hasn’t gotten back to Oz because he states that Howard Stern wants him on the show again.

Warren told the Las Vegas Review-Journal in October about the pain and humiliation of carrying the deformed genitals. He said he suffered from deep bouts of depression and health complications.

He wears special pants that cover his giant scrotum when he goes out in the public and his penis is buried deep in a way that he pees on himself.

Warren rubbishes the claims that he won't get surgery because he doesn't want to lose the fame he's garnered because of his rare condition , which is caused by an excess of watery fluid collecting around his testicles.

"Who would want to live like this?" he said. "I just don't want to die during the operation."

The surgery is complicated and it carries the risk, amongothers, that his penis and testicles could have to be completely removed if surgeons can't stop the bleeding, there’s a possibility that he can die during the surgery.
