Big Brother Naija’s Nina, is the latest victim of hackers as her Instagram account has been hacked since yesterday – she apprises her fans of this development on Twitter as she warns them not to adhere to any business transaction via her IG account. While she looks for means to get back her account, the hacker is busy making his mark on her page as he threatens to release her nudes and dirty messages from her DM. He started by first sharing screenshots of private chats between Nina and Bobrisky.. and her fellow BBN housemate Alex, where she asks that they get back as being friends as she misses her so dearly et all, with Alex’s response too. He then proceeds to ask a ransom of 800k if the light skinned beauty wants her account back – as though it seems Nina is yet to respond to his request, he then asks her followers to pay the amount for her. Currently, the account is still in possession of the hacker as he continues to make fun with it.

False news about the cause of death of my sister Jennifer Agomuo. Since the death of my sister I have not been with my phone because it was submitted to the police as I could not handle seeing my own sister who I left to school dead as I returned and for this reason I and my family have not been able to post or to see what has been posted on the internet about my sister and I was so sad to see how quickly people post news without knowing the truth. My sister had already broken up with Davis Uzoechi for about 6 days past because he abuses her, hits her and always threaten to kill her if she ever tries to leave him but my soft hearted sister out of pity and whatever stupid love she thought she had for this devil didn’t want to report him to the police, her fear was that police could hurt him and she won’t be able to live with that so instead she had a friend call him on the phone and warn him to stay away from her and after that we have tried to be very careful of him knowing how me...

The Italian suffered the heaviest defeat of his tenure at Stamford Bridge and was left frustrated by his side's failure to adapt their game plan Maurizio Sarri admitted Chelsea’s performance was “a disaster” as he was caught out by Tottenham's tactics in a bruising 3-1 defeat at Wembley on Saturday. Spurs were rampant for much of the Premier League clash, with Dele Alli, Harry Kane and Son Heung-min all notching to get on the scoresheet before Olivier Giroud netted a late consolation for the Blues. The visitors were unable to keep possession against a free-flowing attack from the hosts and Sarri, handed the largest defeat of his tenure at Stamford Bridge so far, admitted that his side failed to adapt accordingly to the game. “After five minutes, the situation was very clear,” the Italian told his post-match press conference. “We lost a lot of balls and, against Tottenham, it's very dangerous to lose the ball in your half. “In short counter-attacks, they are one of the ...

CHRIST THE KING SUNDAY INTRODUTION AND HISTORY Christ the King Sunday celebrates the all-embracing authority of Christ as King and Lord of the cosmos. Officially called the Feast of Our Lord Jesus Christ the King, it is celebrated on the final Sunday of Ordinary Time, the Sunday before Advent. In 2015, the feast falls on November 22nd. INTRODUCTION AND HISTORY Pope Pius XI instituted The Feast of Christ the King in 1925 for the universal church in his encyclical Quas Primas . He connected the increasingly denial of Christ as king to the rise of secularism. At the time of Quas Primas , many Christians (including Catholics) began to doubt Christ's authority and existence, as well as the Church's power to continue Christ's authority. Pius XI, and the rest of the Christian world, witnessed the rise of non-Christian dictatorships in Europe, and saw Catholics being taken in by these earthly leaders. These dictators often attempted to assert authority over the Church. Just as t...
