A marriage of two days has hit the rocks

Two days after tying the knot, a Nigerian man has filed for divorce over his wife's rude behaviour towards his mother.

His wife and mother had a physical exchange at their wedding reception that saw both parties slap each other.

Not heeding to appeals from his mother to forgive, the man is hellbent on ending things with his estranged wife.

It happened that a couple from the groom's mother's side graced the occasion at a time edibles were finished. A portion of food the bride left for her parents was the only delicacy available.

The mother-in-law had approached her daughter-in-law and whispered to her, appealing to get some of the food to give the couple as it would be unfair if they got nothing after coming from afar.

The bride refused bluntly, saying the food was for her parents. After unsuccessfully pleading with her son's wife, the mother-in-law used a plate to scoop some food herself but the bride took back the food and poured it into the cooler.

Angrily, the mother-in-law slapped her son's wife, who in turn retaliated. The husband learnt of what happened and decided not to create a scene at the wedding reception and filed for a divorce two days after the incident.

Bobrisky, James Brown, others in panic mood as eight cross-dressers bag three months imprisonment in Kano.

A Kano State Sharia Court on Tuesday, October 31, sentenced eight cross-dressers to three-month imprisonment at a Correctional Centre.

They were arrested by the Kano State Hisbah Board during a wedding in Kofar Waika in the Gwale LGA of the state.

According to the board, the suspects were arrested following a tip-off by good Samaritans that young men dressed in female Fulani attire attended and were dancing at a wedding.

They were later arraigned before the Hisbah Shari’a Court where they plead guilty to the offense.

The presiding Judge, Khadi Tanimu-Sani, ordered that each of them should receive 10 lashes of cane, pay a fine of N20,000 each, and produce one surety or face imprisonment in a correctional facility for three months.

Happie Boys deported to Nigeria from Cyprus, the concept of “village people”

​

In a noteworthy development, two Nigerian citizens, known as the Happie Boys, have returned to Nigeria after being deported from Cyprus. The pair landed in Abuja last night and have secured temporary accommodation in a hotel located in the Utako area of the city.

This deportation marks the latest episode in the ongoing efforts by various countries to address immigration issues and irregularities. The circumstances leading to the deportation of the Happie Boys are currently under investigation.

Upon their arrival in Nigeria, the two individuals expressed mixed emotions, with some relief at returning to their home country and uncertainty about their immediate future. Nigerian immigration authorities, along with other relevant agencies, are actively engaged in addressing their case and ensuring their well-being.

The temporary residence of the Happie Boys in Abuja is part of the initial arrangements made by the authorities to ensure their immediate housing and welfare. Local authorities are in contact with the two individuals and are providing the necessary support during their transition.

The Happie Boys' return to Nigeria highlights the complexities and challenges associated with migration and deportation. Nigerian authorities continue to work with international counterparts to address issues related to immigration and provide support to those affected by such situations.

Further information about the Happie Boys' case and their future plans will be made available as the situation develops.
