Matt Max snatches someone else's wife.

 
Popular video music director Matt Max got married this past weekend to make-up artist Eniola Efunkoya of Awele Beauty and I've been hearing all kinds of crazy talk about the secret wedding. Apparently Matt was in a long time relationship with some lady named Martina but dumped her a few months ago to start dating his make up artist who he married this past Saturday. Seems a lot of people close to the couple aren't happy about the new union.

Now some guy named Abayomi Cole is claiming to still be married to Eniola. Above is a pic of Abayomi and Eniola on their wedding day in 2011. Find what Abayomi told me plus photos from their white wedding after the cut...



"I got married to Adeola Eniola Efunkoya in May, 2011. She left the marriage this year May 2014 for another guy who is a music video director ( Matthew Abiodun Aina) with trade name Mattmax. She left the marriage because of her secret affair with the so called Mattmax. On so many occasions I have called the so called Mattmax to order for his secret affair with my wife. I read a lot of comments on your blog and I wonder how people got to know so much about her. She has not properly divorced me because she is still my legal wife and now she has gotten married to the guy out there. All I need her do is to answer to the divorce letter filed to her because I am already free from her bondage of four years. That imbecile Mattmax has helped me take away my yoke."

Nigerian mum gives birth to white baby in odds that baffled midwives


32 year old Nigerian Catherine Howarth was convinced she had been given the wrong child when midwives presented her with her new baby shortly after she gave birth at a Milton Keynes Hospital on June 1st. She was stunned because the little boy named Jonah was completely white. And even though baby Jonah has a white father, doctors say the chances of him being completely white too were an incredible one in a million.

And it wasn’t only baby Jonah’s parents who were stunned, so were the midwives. Continue


“The midwife looked at me and looked back down at Jonah and then at me again and couldn’t believe it. The doctors confirmed it was extremely rare."Catherine.
Her husband Richard Howarth, 34, was equally astonished.
“When I first set eyes on my baby boy Jonah, it was a feeling of pure delight and relief that he was healthy and strong. His complexion was very pale due to the umbilical cord being wrapped around his neck when he was being delivered.
“After a few hours his colour came to his cheeks. Catherine and I noticed his complexion was very similar to mine and were surprised it was as light. The midwives and doctors told us he’ll most likely remain this colour.”
Doctors have said Jonah is not an albino.
“We have been told that I must have been carrying a recessive gene. My parents were from Nigeria and, for as far back as anyone can remember, my family have all been black. But at some point there must have been a white gene in my family that has remained dormant for years and years – until now. The doctors said they had researched the chances of this happening and discovered that it was very, very rare. They had only found two similar cases, both in America, that had been reported in recent times.” Catherine said
Catherine and Richard say they plan to have more children but have been told the chances of them also being born white are highly unlikely.

Cecilia Ibru's daughter, Vivi Ibru, in divorce drama


The 8 year old marriage between Vivi, the daughter of defunct Oceanic Bank CEO, Cecilia Ibru and her husband, Aleksander Stankov, has been dissolved by the court, Encomium magazine, reports.
The high court of Imo state presided over by Honorable Justice Ngozi Opara severed the marital vows that existed between the two once-upon-a-time lover after Aleksander approached the court to seek for the dissolution of his marriage to Vivi who is the mother of his three children.
For sometime now, Vivi and Aleksander have been staying apart with Aleks accusing his wife of refusal to play the dutiful and humble wife. No one took them serious at the initial stage until the period Vivi moved out of their matrimonial home with the couple's three children. All entries from Family and friends to reconcile the two parties didn't work as their dream of a beautiful future together came crashing down." Continue...

Vivi however is not taking the divorce issue likely. Immediately, she got notice her marriage has been dissolved at the instance of her husband, she went to court to obtain a restraining order baring her estranged husband from coming close to the children. Her prayers were reportedly granted at the Principal Registry of the Family Division in London. Her claim was Aleks is violent and assaults her at will.

To counter her claim, Aleksander rushed to obtain his own order granting him access to the children which he also got with the condition that Vivi and her mother, Mrs Cecilia Ibru must be there anytime Alek makes contact with the children at an agreed date and time.

As the legal fireworks rage, Aleksander moved to Nigeria and filed for another divorce in Imo state, Nigeria and ultimately obtained dissolution of the marriage which is what Vivi is challenging in court now. She claimed in her own petition that she was not aware of the case filed by her husband. She is in the court of appeal to overturn the judgement of the lower court in the dissolution of the marriage, maintaining it was obtained by fraud. Presently, Vivi is in London while the fight to reverse the judgement, especially the position which she gave her estranged husband the custody of the children continues.

Aleksander Stankov and Vivi got married at Our Savior's church, lagos in 2006. Vivi's mother, Cecilia Ibru pulled heavyweights to the lavish wedding of the year and eight years on, the union has packed up. On Friday August 29th 2014, we sent a message to Vivi who is presently in London for her reaction. She didn't reply till we went to the press.

Meet the Brazilian man born with his head upside-down


A man born with physical disabilities so severe his head is Upside-down has defied the odds to become an inspirational public speaker.

Claudio Vieira de Oliveira, 37, was born with his neck folded back on itself, as well as badly deformed legs and almost no use of his arms and hands. Doctors told his mother to stop feeding him as a newborn as they believed he had no chance of survival. But Claudio from Monte Santo, Brazil, has overcome his extreme disadvantages to graduate as an accountant and become a public speaker. Continue...



"Since I was a child I've always liked to keep myself busy and work - I don't like to depend totally on other people. I do a bit of accounting, research for clients and consulting. I have learned to turn on the TV, pick up my cell phone, turn on the radio, use the internet, my computer - I do it all by myself." he said.
Claudio types with a pen held in his mouth, operates phones and a computer mouse with his lips and has specially made shoes that allow him to move around town. His determined independence saw him succeeding at school and qualifying as an accountant from the State University of Feira de Santana.

When Claudio was born, doctors told his mother Maria Jose he would not be able to survive. Maria Jose said:
"People started saying 'the baby is going to die' because he could barely breathe when he was born. Some people would say: 'Don't feed him, he is already dying'. But there's only happiness now. Claudio is just like any other person - that's how he was raised in this house. We never tried to fix him and always wanted him to do the normal things everyone else does. That's why he is so confident. He is not ashamed of walking around in the street - he sings and he dances."
At eight years old, Claudio, who had previously been carried everywhere, began to walk on his knees.

His family had to change the floor of the house so he could walk around without injuring himself.
Claudio's bed, plugs and lights had to be made lower so that he could do things for himself without asking for help.

He cannot use a wheelchair because of his unusual shape, making it hard for him to be independent outside the home - but he begged his mother to be allowed to go to school and learn with the other children. Doctors have recently diagnosed him with a rare condition called congenital arthrogryposis.

They believe he has multiple joint contractions in his legs and arms which mean they cannot extend properly. Claudio said:
"Throughout my life I was able to adapt my body to the world. Right now, I don't see myself as being different. I am a normal person. I don't see things upside-down. This is one of the things I always talk about in my interventions as a public speaker.
"Nowadays it's much easier to deal with the public, I'm not afraid of it anymore and I can say that I am a professional, international public speaker and that I receive invitations from all over the world."
