Nollywood actor, Charles Okocha, will not forget the bullet wound which almost took his life some months back as he says the memory will continue to remain each time he imagines how he was able to survive it.

Even before the incident happened, she saw it through a vision that was delivered to her in church. She warned me not to go for that particular occasion but I ignored her. There was a time I had an accident while returning from the club, my mother had also seen the event ahead and warned me bu...

Speaking about the incident in Benin City, the Edo State capital, a ‘pure water’ hawker, Helen Usunobun said they could not cope with the hike in price which would leave them making N30 profit for every bag of satchet water.

A HAUNTED bible that is thought to be possessed by spirits who pulled a woman down the stairs by her hair is up for sale with a warning message. The antique Bible was listed on eBay, by a man only named as Fred, who says he accepts "no responsibility for any poltergeist activities" that it may bring into your property. The seller has stored the Bible in an empty room in a church because he is so spooked about what paranormal activity it could bring into his home. He has been burdened with the Bible since his female friend, who inherited it from her grandparents, had 'had enough' of the eery spirits wreaking havoc on her premises. Fred said: "There were doors opening, cupboards opening, stomping, someone walking upstairs." He described the 'final straw' for his friend was when she thought the spirits had pulled her down the stairs by her hair in the middle of the night - leaving her bruised all over. In addition to r...

Women found in violation of this ban will be fined about $30 while the person who reported the offense will receive a reward of almost $3. "Why do girls need cell phone? Internet is a waste of time and money for a middle- class community like us. Girls should better utilise their time for study and other works," village leader Devshi Vankar told Hindustan Times. Villagers in Suraj reportedly agreed with the decision, as cell phones were viewed as tools used by young people to leave their homes and elope.
