Sources from Bayelsa State, disclosed that all the PDP governors and dignitaries who came to the wedding ceremony of the heavily pregnant Faith Sakwe and her darling husband, Godswill Osim Edward who hails from Cross River State gave a car each.
It was also revealed that the dignitaries who attended were all from PDP, and that none came from APC. I wonder how many cars it would have been if our ogas at the top in APC attended? It is just wonderful, i must say.
What more can a bride and her groom ask for? Faith Sakwe and Godswill Osim Edward are really lucky people, but i would rather call them, blessed people.

God, give this guy strength. Looks like they are trying to lock him up this time. Chris Brown was loaded onto a con-air flight to D.C. last Thursday to face misdemeanor assault charges for attacking a fan back in October but didn't get there until late yesterday, (the plane stops in different cities to pick other prisoners) making him miss his first hearing.

In his absence, a judge rejected his request to dismiss his case on the grounds that the prosecution unlawfully took the case before a grand jury, meaning his case is moving forward.

According to reports, after Chris Brown arrived D.C yesterday, he was transferred to the Northern Neck Regional Jail in Warsaw, Virginia where he will stay until the start of his trial on April 17th.

30 year old Nwode Chukwudi Awam, was arrested last week for beheading his father, 56 year old Michael Awam and eating his neck. The
Ebonyi State Police Command, who paraded the killer on Thursday April 3rd, said the incident occurred at Egwudinagu Obegu village in Ebonyi LGA of the state.
"When
the police went for him, he was waving the machete which he used to cut
his father’s head and threatening to kill anybody that gets close to
him. He was overpowered all the same. He ate the neck’
"He
was seen eating the entire stub of the neck. So when you look at the
exhibit, the head doesn’t have the neck even though he did the beheading
from the base of the shoulder. You will not see the part of the body
that is supposed to be the neck; he ate it up. We can say that it is not unconnected with ritual because it does appear that he may have been asked to do such a thing." The State Police Public Relations Officer,
Assistant Superintendent of Police Chris Anyanwu, said
