Woman who suffered seven miscarriages and spent N23,600,000 on IVF becomes a mother

A woman who suffered seven heartbreaking miscarriages is finally about to become a mum - thanks to her best friend of 20 years.

Sophie Smith, 33, and her husband Jack, 36, had given up hope of ever becoming parents to their own children after spending six years and £50,000 on IVF desperately trying to conceive.

The couple, from Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, went through five devastating miscarriages and two ectopic pregnancies that required both of her fallopian tubes to be removed - leaving Sophie unable to have children of her own.

But their despair turned to joy when Sophie's best friend, Emiliana Hall, stepped in and offered to carry a baby for the couple.

The mum-of-two was pregnant with her son Theo, now two, at the time but was determined to give her friends ‘the greatest gift of life’.

And now, the best pals - who stuck up a friendship on their first day in secondary school - are delighted to be shopping for baby-grows together as Emiliana is six-months pregnant with Sophie and Jack's baby.

Sophie, a fashion buyer, said: "I believe it was fate that I met Em at 12-years-old during our first year of secondary school.

“If someone had told me 20 years ago, that one of my best friends would go on to carry my genetic baby I would have laughed.

“But all that time has been building up this moment, one I now believe was always meant to be.

“We have always had a strong friendship, even after she once ordered four taxis to turn up to my house at 2am on a school night as a joke.

“She has saved us from our immense pain and given us back our hope by offering to be our surrogate."

Nnamdi Kanu declares support for Amotekun

Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB), has thrown his weight behind Operation Amotekun, the regional security outfit of Nigeria's Southwest geopolitical region.

Backing Southwest governors against the federal Government's stance, Kanu maintained that the security outfit had come to stay.

In a statement through IPOB Spokesperson, Emma Powerful, Kanu praised Southwest governors for setting up the security outfit, as he described it as a laudable effort.

The statement read, “The final and definitive stance of the Biafran people is that IPOB will support Operation Amotekun with all our might.

“Regardless of the history of politics that may have existed between the East and the West in the past, we have sworn to work with this generation of Yoruba leadership with the likes of Pa Ayo Adebanjo, Yinka Odumakin, Femi Fani-Kayode and Omoyele Sowore at the helm.

“I will support this generation of Yorubas that setup Amotekun. IPOB will work with them. If they want one million men, I will give them to ensure this expansionism is stopped.

“We will support the Yorubas in all forms and by every means necessary.

“IPOB will back Amotekun Security Outfit. Amotekun is not going anywhere. They are here to stay and IPOB will support them."

Patrick Stewart celebrates Picard launch by kissing fellow actor

Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart packed on the PDA when they met up at the premiere of Sir Patrick’s new show Star Trek: Picard.

The famously close actors posed together on the white carpet at the launch in London. Sir Ian made it a memorable moment by getting down on one knee to jokingly propose to his pal.

The X-Men star clearly said ‘yes’ as they gave each other a peck on the lips.

Patrick, 79, looked dapper in an all black suit which he teamed with black shoes and black glasses. Sir Ian, 80, was dressed for the January weather in a grey hat with a long checked coat over a dark suit with a blue, pattered scarf.

The Star Trek actor was also supported by his wife Sunny Ozell, 41, on the night, who looked stunning in a knee-length pink sequinned dress.

Akwa Ibom comedian arrested over Facebook posts

A popular stand-up comedian in Akwa Ibom State has been arrested by the police allegedly on the order of an Akwa Ibom government official.

The comedian, whose stage name is Sir James, was arrested on Wednesday in Uyo. He is accused of posting “injurious” comments on Facebook against the commissioner for tourism in the state, Orman Esin, two persons in the entertainment industry in the state told Premium Times on Thursday.

Sir James, before his arrest, took to Facebook to launch a vigorous campaign against an alleged poor treatment of local entertainers by state officials.

He specifically accused the commissioner, Mr Esin, and his ministry of refusing to pay or underpaying several artistes who performed in a state-organised event during the Christmas holiday.


“I heard the Commissioner’s house is receiving unexpected guests this morning & currently paying some artistes,” Sir James wrote a few days ago on the social media site.

“Some people who called me for direction to his house are now send me ‘Thank You’ & ‘God Bless’.

“Hurry up, go & get your money coz he may be going overseas for vacation with his family this weekend,” he added.

In another Facebook post, the comedian said he was not afraid of litigation or arrest.

“The problem is not that he accused the commissioner of not paying entertainers, the problem is that he published the commissioner’s house address and phone number on Facebook,” one entertainer told Premium Times Thursday.

Having more s.e.x makes early menopause less likely, research finds

Women who have s.e.x more often are less likely to have an early menopause, according to research that raises the intriguing possibility that lifestyle factors could play a more significant role than previously thought in determining when the menopause occurs.

The study, based on data collected from nearly 3,000 women who were followed for 10 years, found that those who reported engaging in sexual activity weekly were 28% less likely to have experienced menopause at any given age than women who engaged in sexual activity less than monthly.

Megan Arnot, a PhD student at UCL and the study’s first author, said the findings suggest that if a woman is not having s.e.x – and there is no chance of pregnancy – the body might “choose” not to invest in ovulation.


“There may be a biological energetic trade-off between investing energy into ovulation and investing elsewhere, such as keeping active by looking after grandchildren,” she said.

The study, published in the journal Royal Society Open Science, found that women of any age who had s.e.x weekly were 28% less likely to experience the menopause compared with those who had sex less than monthly. Those who had s.e.x monthly were 19% less likely to experience menopause at any given age compared with those who had s.e.x less than monthly.

The researchers have yet to establish what the biological mechanism might be that would result in sexual activity actively influencing when a woman’s reproductive cycle comes to an end.

The menopause is thought to occur when the number of maturing egg follicles in the ovaries drops beneath a critical threshold.

One possibility is that sexual activity stimulates the release of oestrogen, which plays a role in the complex cascade of chemical signals that result in an egg being released each month before the menopause. But the study did not test this directly. A challenge, Arnot said, is that “the whole hormonal mechanisms surrounding the menopause is really poorly understood”, meaning the work does not slot neatly into a well-established framework.

Another possibility is that the two factors – how often a woman has sex and age at menopause – are both determined by some other hormonal or biological factor that was not measured in the study. In this case the link would not be causal.

The study looked at whether living with a male partner played a part but found no link, suggesting that exposure to male pheromones did not explain the findings.

Prof Ruth Mace, an evolutionary anthropologist at UCL and the paper’s senior author, said: “The menopause is, of course, an inevitability for women, and there is no behavioural intervention that will prevent reproductive cessation. Nonetheless, these results are an initial indication that menopause timing may be adaptive in response to the likelihood of becoming pregnant.”

Gunman opens fire in Russian court

A suspect armed with a rifle opened fire in a Russian courthouse killing one man and injuring a woman.

The attack according to report occurred early morning on Thursday. A male court officer suffered a gunshot wound to his stomach in the attack and died in an ambulance en route to the hospital.

The prosecutor’s office in Kemerovo Region, where the magistrates’ court is located, has launched a probe into the incident.

There has been conflicting information about the identity of the attacker.

There were unconfirmed reports that the assailant might have been an aggrieved defendant who left the courtroom mid-hearing, only to return with a firearm that he allegedly kept in his vehicle.As the man re-entered the building, armed with a deadly weapon, a court officer attempted to stop him but was shot dead in the process, a law enforcement source told TASS.

The shooter then moved to the courtroom, where he fired at another person, the source told the Agency.

However, another source reportedly revealed that knowledge of the investigation told Interfax news agency that the shooter was, in fact, a victim in a criminal case.

“It has been preliminarily established that the gunman was a victim in a criminal case that was being heard by the court. The injured woman is a witness,” the source said.

Man who claims he was unjustly detained over Hanan Buhari's 'sim card' sues her and DSS for N500m

Tope Akinyode, lawyer to Mr Anthony Okolie, an Asaba-based businessman detained for 10 weeks by the DSS for owning a SIM card previously registered in Hanan Buhari’s name, has made good his threat to sue all the parties involved in Okolie’s ordeal.

A suit has now been filed in which Okolie is asking President Buhari’s daughter, the Department of State Services (DSS) and MTN, to pay him N500 million compensation.

Mr Okolie, 33, was arrested on July 19, 2019 in Asaba.

The suit, with number FHC/ASB/CS/3/2020, is seeking an order to “compel the respondents (DSS, Hanan and MTN) jointly or severally to pay the applicant the sum of N500,000,000 only as general and aggravated damages for the gross and unlawful violation of the applicant’s right to acquire moveable properties, freedom of movement and self-dignity.”

Okolie said in the suit that he was detained with handcuffs until September 22, 2019, as the DSS waited for Hanan, who was schooling in the United Kingdom, to come and clear him but she never did.

The trader also attached the receipt he was issued after purchasing the SIM card as well as the SIM certificate.

According to the affidavit, he bought the SIM card on December 8, 2018, with phone number, 09035666662, for the sum of N1,000.

Okolie asked the court to declare that his long detention was an abuse of his fundamental human rights and that the actions of the DSS contravened sections 35 and 34 of the 1999 Constitution.

Music producer drags Perruzi, Davido on twitter... calls Perruzi and ungrateful soul

A music producer and CEO of GoldenBoy Entertainment, King Patrick has dragged Davido and Peruzzi to court for breach of contract. He says while the case is still pending in court, he also wants twitter users to know about it.

According to him, he met Peruzzi in 2014 when he dropped out of school due to his father's financial challenges. He said he helped him get back to school, but late released Peruzzi was more interested in music than studying and then he gave his music more concentration by signing him. He also spoke about how he fed, clothed and got Peruzzi accommodation for years, only for the singer to sideline him now with nothing.

Taking to twitter and asking users to be the judge, he tabled the matter thus;

1. While they are delaying this case in court, I have also brought it here for Twitter to see my reward for helping @Peruzzi_VIBES. Be the judge and ask yourself if this is fair. #SurvivingPeruzzi

2. I want to make it clear that all I want from this is the Royalties & credit that DAVIDO MUSIC WORLDWIDE owes GOLDEN BOY ENTERTAINMENT, nothing more or less. We signed a contract and that should be respected. #SurvivingPeruzzi

3. I met Peruzzi in 2014, then he was out of med school because of his father’s financial problems but I did everything in my power to help him go back to school.

I paid for his his ticket and visa, he was like a brother to me. #SurvivingPeruzzi

4. He was more interested in music, so my investment in his education was a failed project but I still decided to support his music career.

I clothed him, fed him and gave him allowances, I also made sure he had comfortable accommodation. #SurvivingPeruzzi

5. I had another artist called “BONDO KRAZZY” who peruzzi moved in with.

There he worked on his music, while waiting for me to sign him by November 2016, as I had promised.#SurvivingPeruzzi

6. When I was ready I signed Peruzzi and we all moved to Lagos, I got a better accommodation for him, a 5 bedroom house in Sangotedo.

I also shot 3 videos for him but we released only one (For Your Pocket) which caught the attention of @Davido

7. Davido reached out to Peruzzi and they were in constant contact. Peruzzi started telling me about how Davido wanted “US” to join DMW, I was excited because I wanted that exposure.

8. Instead of letting Davido know that he is signed to me, Peruzzi presented me as just the guy that helped him shoot his video.

9. Davido was billed to perform at the One Africa Music festival, late 2017. For Your Pocket remix was trending then so he told me wanted to perform it at the show with Peruzzi, which never happened. #SurvivingPeruzzi

10. I bought Peruzzi’s ticket to meet Davido for the performance, but instead of performing he got signed to DMW, without my consent, therefore breaching his contract.

11. I woke up to the news of the signing and I was mad and that marked the beginning of my depression. If only you know how it feels to be cheated by someone you truly loved and supported with all your heart. #SurvivingPeruzzi

12. I have moved past wanting our brotherly relationship back, now all I want is my due compensation. I cannot be cheated out of this unjustly. #SurvivingPeruzzi

13. For you to know the guilty party in this case, I have been attacked and ambushed before because of this matter, now tell me would an innocent person do this?

Twitter please help me restore my sanity and tell your fav to do the right thing

14. Fast forward to 11/2019, Peruzzi set up a fake meeting with me to discuss how to pay back what he owes, instead of having the meeting I was ambushed, he threatened to kill me, saying what he owed me is chicken change but he is still yet to pay.

Listen

I have been patient for 2 Years and @davido or @Peruzzi_VIBES have refused to pay me despite all my efforts. I had to bring this issue here because e Don reach. Peruzzi needs to be exposed! It’s been a depressing 2 years! And I can’t hold it in any longer #SurvivingPeruzzi

@Davido knew peruzzi was signed to Goldenboy yet he went ahead to “Audio Sign” Peruzzi without following due process. I reached out to him, look what a so called boss had to say in my dm. Fact: @Peruzzi_VIBES is not Signed to DMW

39 more of my prophecies will come to pass this year, Mbaka reminds Nigerians

The Spiritual Director of the Adoration Ministry, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, after predicting the Uzondinma victory, has said there are still 39 of his prophecies that will come to pass in 2020.

In a statement about his prophecies for the New Year, Mbaka had said “Many things are going to happen in Nigeria this 2020 that will shock countrymen and countrywomen; but all would be to God’s glory”, he said.

Among the prophecies two weeks ago was that the governorship candidate of All Progressives Congress, APC in the 2019 governorship election will take over Imo State from PDP’s Emeka Ihedioha.

Mbaka had said then that he he did not know how his prophecy will be fulfilled. But the Supreme Court helped actualise the prophecy with the sacking of Ihedioha and declaration of Senator Uzodinma as the validly elected governor of Imo State on Tuesday.

Senator Hope Uzodinma was inaugurated as governor of Imo State on Wednesday night.

Mbaka was present at the swearing in ceremony where he was hailed and celebrated for his accurate prophecy.

But in the statement by his spokesman, Maximus Ugwuoke, the Catholic priest stated that he gave 40 prophecies on New Year’s Eve but the only one that went viral was that of Uzodinma.

Mbaka’s spokesman said: “Uzodinma becoming the governor of Imo was just a part of the about 40 prophetic prayers Fr. Mbaka made on December 31. But that became the only issue people satanically picked against him.

“God has vindicated Fr. Mbaka as He has always done for Fr. Mbaka and adoration ministry in all the battles, vituperations and attacks the ministry had faced in the past. To God be the glory.”

He added that the victory of Uzodinma was evidence that Mbaka was truly an anointed man of God.

According to him, the fact that the Supreme Court’s seven justices unanimously agreed to the judgment showed that God was behind the prophecy.

“We are not all gifted alike, Fr. Mbaka’s prophetic gift should be a source of pride for the Catholic Church and indeed all true Christians as a living evidence of divine presence within the Church. As a lawyer, I tell you that there are double fold angles to this miracle.

“One is the miraculous resuscitation of Hope Uzodinma from the far away position he was placed in the election result announced by INEC in Imo State. The second is the unanimous confirmation of the seven Justices of the Supreme Court (without a dissenting view) that Uzodinma was the rightful winner of the election.”

Meet the new Imo First Lady already dubbed the 'youngest First Lady in Nigeria'

This is Governor Hope Uzodinma's wife, Chioma Uzodinma. She automatically becomes the new First Lady of Imo state.

This is the gist. Chioma isn't the first wife of the new Governor, but he got married to her traditionally in 2015 after his first wife allegedly made every effort of not making them have a church wedding. So they opted for trads!

The Governor is believed to have divorced his first wife of 17 years, but she allegedly refused to let him go and stopped every way the Governor could marry his new bride in a church way.

The estranged couple have four children together, while Chioma and the Governor have three.

Already, her friends have been teasing her calling her the youngest First Lady in Nigeria. Well, it seems so. Big congrats to her!

I want him back, 31-year-old woman stabbed in private parts by husband says

A 31-year-old woman from Lunza Village in Butere, Kakamega County, Kenya is nursing injuries at the Mbale Hospital in Vihiga County after she was allegedly stabbed in the private parts and breasts by her husband on Tuesday, January 14.

Lucy Moraa told K24 Digital that her partner, Ephraim Malenge, attacked her at their Lunza Village home after she declined to give him money to spend on alcohol.

“He [Malenge] came home and told me to give him Ksh40. I said that I did not have the money. He, thereafter, responded, warning: ‘You either give me the Ksh40 I am demanding, or I behead and walk around the streets carrying your severed head’. I thought he was joking, but, nonetheless, I gave him the Ksh40,” Moraa said on her hospital bed.

“He left, but returned home minutes later. He found me carrying a purse, and ordered I give him the money that was in the bag so that he could go drinking. I declined, telling him that the money in the purse was our children’s school fees. It was at that point that he reached for a kitchen knife and stabbed me in the chest and private parts. He even attempted to attack our child with the knife, but the baby was rescued by neighbours,” added the mother-of-two.

The 31-year-old woman claimed that her marriage to Malenge has been marred by physical abuse.

“He has formed the habit of seeking forgiveness every time he wrongs me. After a significant period of marital peace, he, again, goes back to his old habits [of violence]. I am still ready to accept him back, but he has to apologise to my family and assure me that he won’t mete out violence on me, again. I want him in my life because he is the father of my children,” said Moraa.

The suspect is yet to be arrested because Moraa is yet to file a formal complaint with police.
