The Nigerian Sham Marriage Guy gets 12 months in jail

Remember this story of a guy that met his Portuguese bride and attempted to get married to her on same day? You can read the story here if you missed it.

The groom Jayeola Abiola was on a student visa and his visa was about to run out and as usual, he needed to do something fast since they stopped giving post study visa. So he decided to marry an Portuguese girl which will give him a chance to stay in the country as a husband of a EU citizen. Unfortunately for him he didn't meet the girl before hand, it was all arranged and they got busted!.


















Anyway I think he got off well o, He got 12 months in a UK jail. The bride apparently didn't use her real name to for the marriage! I wonder why.

The best man and the fixer are yet to be sentenced.

Hope you guys are fine.
I've been busy enjoying the sunshine, its been shockingly warm, can't remember ever having a consistent summer like this in more than 10 years. So i'm gonna enjoy every bit of it while it lasts. I suggest you do same.

Pastor Kumuyi Offers to Resign and Tunde Bakare Reacts to the Whole Story

Ok this is just getting out of hand......
This is according to the sun news.

To demonstrate that there is no double standard in the church,  Pastor Kumuyi, at the meeting held by the leadership of the church on the matter, offered to resign as General Superintendent, but was prevailed upon not to.
The bride Love, who is a daughter of the National Overseer of Deeper Life Bible Church, Jamaica, Pastor Augustine Odih, was accused of wearing a fitted wedding gown with transparent short sleeves. She also wore makeup, jewelries and used a bouquet of flowers. The couple cruised to church in a limousine and had a massive wedding cake. The leadership of the church regarded their action as a strong breach of its
 tradition, and immediately removed the bride’s father, from his position as National Overseer in Jamaica.
For real?


Trust Pastor Tunde Bakare,the General Overseer of Latter Rain Assembly to voice his opinion about all this.
Tunde Bakare was once a member of the church and he condemned the punishment by the church, describing it as wicked.

Murray has broken the 77 year British Record

Andy Murray has finally won his first Wimbledon title after 77-years even before his parents were born, let alone him.


 The 26-year-old Scot (He is Scottish- part of Great Britain) became the first British men's winner since Fred Perry in 1936, beating Novak Djokovic in straight sets.

Congratulatory messages has been flooding in!

Prime minister David Cameron was there, bless him. Bet he had to ignore what people think or say  because he has a reputation of jinxing British sport events. So every time he attends,the Brits never win.

Here is what he said to the BBC.
 "It was an amazing performance from Andy Murray, but also an amazing day for British tennis and for Britain. He never gave up and it was magnificent. "It was a privilege to watch Andy Murray making history."

 Even the queen congratulated him. Well, what an achievement, I bet he is so proud of himself. Who won't be?
Congrats again Murray

Using Your Phone May Land You in Jail

If this works, then Nigeria is on a good track.
The Nigerian prison might be seeing loads of new faces if what the Federal Road Safety Corps say is true.
At the moment if you are caught using your telephone while driving in Nigeria, you get a fine of 4000 naira. 
The FRSC says that is no longer working, so if anyone is caught now making or recieving call, they will be sent to jail.

Apparently people would rather be caught using their phones while driving and pay the fine for it rather than obey that law! Motorist even ask "how much is your fine? Tell me and let me pay and go"!
How stupid can they be! 
Which part of your own safety or other people's safety do you not understand?  Ok if you don't care about your life how about other road users? 

But this new law will give motorist criminal convictions. If what I have heard about Nigerian prisons are true then I don't think anyone in their right senses will think twice before breaking the law. 

So how will they enforce it and how long will motorists gets in jail? The court will have to decide.  The FRSC said they have equipped their vans with state of the earth equipment and will need the help of mobile phone companies for call logs and all. 
Already people are biased and i can sort of see why! some people are above the law in Nigeria........

We can only hope this works. If we all want Nigeria to change, we have to start from somewhere. LASMA worked in Lagos didn't it? I'm sure if they get some scape goats to show they are serious, the rest will sit tight.

By the way this doesn't just happen in Nigeria, it happens everywhere.
