'I Never Collected Money From IK Uche While We Dated' – Uche Jombo

 Nollywood actress/producer Uche Jombo, who recently celebrated her fourth wedding anniversary with her Puerto Rican husband, Kenney Rodriguez, has refuted claims she was financially dependent on ex-boyfriend Ikechukwu Uche.

Speaking with Kehinde Bankole of Broadway Africa recently, the ‘Wives on Strike’ actress said:

‘It’s always insulting to me, that line of thought, because even while I was in that 

relationship, I had members of his family think some of my cars were his…. and he has never given me money, which he knows. Never!’, she emphatically stated.

She further clarified:

‘I have been working since I was 14 years old. I personally saw myself through school, not just me, even my younger ones. So, I have always been my own person, I have never needed a man to define me and I have always known that whoever I ended up with is the lucky one.

‘When I walked out of that relationship and said I was done, I wasn’t interested in what anybody was saying. I was done. At a point I said to myself, I would rather invest this time in me and in my company.‘

She however had affectionate words to say about her husband of four years.

‘When I met Kenny and I saw the relationship he had with his mum, I totally knew he was husband material. The way you treat your mum tells a girl how you can treat her,’ she recalled.

‘If you don’t have respect for your mum, you’re never ever going to have respect for your wife.’

The popular actress and Kenney are blessed with a child.

Spain-based woman Accuses Wife of a Native Doctor of Bathing Her With Acid, Shares Photo

 31 year old Spain-based woman, Marbel Mark from Edo State has accused the wife of a native doctor she engages in Nigeria, of bathing her with acid out of jealousy.

 Vanguard reports that Marbel who was married to a Delta state born man who is also based in Spain, said she visited Nigeria in October 2015 for holiday and while in Edo state, decided to engage the services of a native doctor at Sakpoba Road, Benin City.

 In the course of their doing business with the native doctor, the wife of the native doctor became apprehensive of her constant visits to the man and accused Marbel of having an affair with her husband. Marbel refuted the claim but the wife of the native doctor would have none of that. 

According to Marbel, the native doctor's wife feared she was out to lure her husband and take him with her back to Spain. The native doctor’s wife managed to get a hold of Marbel’s husband phone number in Spain and called him to report the matter to him. It was gathered that the incident caused problems between Marbel and her husband.

This however took a different turn for the worse when some unknown persons stormed a salon where Marbel was having her hair done and poured her acid on her face. Marbel was rushed to the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH) for treatment before she was flown back to her base in Spain for surgery. It was amid this tragedy that the victim was said to have sued her husband for divorce, which was said to have been granted by a court in Spain. 

 Marbel, who is still receiving treatment in a Spanish hospital is appealing for justice from Edo State Police Command. Marbel in a telephone interview said

" I have spent so much hospital bills to save my life due to the wickedness of somebody. I have petitioned the state Police Command through my lawyer. I am only appealing for justice. The police must apprehend the person that bathed me with acid and those that sent them. I have spent all I have on hospital bills so I cannot equally be denied justice in Nigeria. I only came on holiday but look at what I got in return. I need the prayers and help of everyone, particularly the police so that those behind this will be apprehended. I am in pains and those behind this should not go unpunished. And I appeal that the investigation should be accelerated because justice delayed is justice denied. Life has become so frustrating but I thank God for his mercies"

The Edo state police command have invited the said native doctor's wife for interrogations. Meanwhile Spokesman for the state Police Command, Abiodun Osifo, has called on anyone with useful information to come forward. 

“We appeal to members of the public to help us with useful information because, without information, the police can do little or nothing. This is a crime against God and humanity and we must not condone it. How can somebody bath a fellow human being with acid? Even if the person is your enemy, does that make sense? Such people must face the law no matter where they are hiding. You cannot run forever. I believe the police will uncover the suspects and bring them to justice”he said

 See amazing new photos of the actor and his remarkable recovery after he was badly burnt in the tragic accident.

Von shared the pic and captioned it:

 The accident had happened at about 4am on the fateful day as Von was on his way back from a quick strategy meeting. His car had hit a big block meant for constructing gutters along the lonely road beside the Harvey road cemetery; for those of you who are conversant with Lagos and the Yaba area. The block was placed by the side of the road instead of being placed in the gutter. 

This crash caused an explosion, the fire started from the bonnet of Von's car and consumed the car with him in it. Von ran out of the car into the lonely road with fire over his body, screaming, “Blood of Jesus” severally. He dove to the ground to roll but suddenly, the fire went out. At this moment he could not feel his face anymore, his hands were burnt black, his car was burnt totally. 

Court Orders FG, Okonjo-Iweala to Account For ‘Missing N30trillion’

 The Federal High Court sitting in Lagos state has ordered former Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and the Goodluck Jonathan led administration to  account for N30 trillion said to have been missing or unaccounted for while they were in government.  

Justice Ibrahim Buba had given the order in a Freedom of Information suit number FHC/L/CS/196/2015 filed by Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP). 

SERAP’s filed the suit following revelations by the former Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Charles Soludo, that at least N30 trillion “has either been stolen or unaccounted for, or grossly mismanaged over the last few years under the Coordinating Minister of the Economy and Minister of Finance, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala’s watch.” SERAP had approached the court to order the former Minister and the Federal government to provide it with information on the said N30 trillion. 

Delivering judgement in the suit last week, Justice Buba said, 

“Mrs Okonjo-Iweala and the Federal Government have no legally justifiable reason for refusing to provide SERAP with the information requested for. The Court has gone through the application and agrees that SERAP’s application has merits and the argument is not opposed. SERAP’s application is granted as prayed.”

The judgment by Buba reads in part: 

“Preliminary objection by Mrs Okonjo-Iweala and the federal government is misconceived, the court upholds the arguments by SERAP for the reasons stated herein.

“SERAP commenced this proceeding by way of Originating Summons dated 23 February 2015 and filed 25 February 2015. Mrs Okonjo-Iweala and the Federal Government filed a Memorandum of Conditional Appearance, a Notice of Preliminary Objection and written address, all undated but filed on 29 September 2015.

“The preliminary objection is on the following grounds: that SERAP did not obtain the mandatory leave of the Federal High Court to issue and serve the Originating Summons and other processes outside Lagos State; that there is no mandatory endorsement on the Originating Summons that it is to be served on Mrs Okonjo-Iweala and the Federal Government in Abuja and outside jurisdiction of this Court.

“The only issue for determination is whether Mrs Okonjo-Iweala and the federal government should be heard on their preliminary objection considering the totality of the circumstances of this case.

“He who wants equity must do equity. This suit was filed on 25 February 2015 and from the record of the court was served on Mrs Okonjo-Iweala and the Federal Government on 3 July, 2015. It took about 3 months for them to come up with technical response to the simple request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2011.

“Mrs Okonjo-Iweala and the Federal Government have therefore been caught by Order 29 of the Rules of this Court, which requires that an application shall be made within 21 days after service on the Defendants of the originating summons.

“If Mrs Okonjo-Iweala and the federal government want to raise issues about service, the law does not permit of demurer. The proper route for them should have been to join issues with the originating summons and also file their objections. In the present case by SERAP, the Notice of Preliminary Objection by Mrs Okonjo-Iweala and the federal government is incurably defective for not conforming to order 29 of the Rules of this Court.”
