it was tough, but God saw them through. He also said he has had people
call him impotent several times, but he is glad that has now been
corrected. The comedian who just welcomed a baby girl said;
“The fact that we lost a child was very tough. Sometimes when you post something on the social media, people wonder why you bring your family issue to the social media. What they do not know is that you just want some words of encouragement. Sometimes you really cannot control the way bad news spreads. I have heard people say things like I cannot get a woman pregnant. When the news came out that I lost my child, it was more like a confirmation that I am a man. But by the special grace of God, I have another child now. What made that very painful was the fact that when we lost the baby, I did not know what to tell my wife and how to console her and that was a very difficult time for me. I needed to rely on the words of encouragement from people to stay strong for both myself and my wife.” Continue...

I Wash Plates, Sweep In My House — Zack Orji
Celebrated actor, director, producer and film-maker, Zack Orji,has
revealed he helps his wife with house chores and sees it as
normal.Speaking to Punch, he said
I did domestic chores and I still do. In fact, my son slept on my chest the day they returned from the hospital. For me, a man should be willing to do housework because it is his house.I wash the dishes sometimes. It is not about showing love for one’s wife or one’s family. I just believe that since it is my house, it is something I should do. Also, when the children see such a thing, they will endeavour to emulate it. It will become a habit. Sometimes, whenever my children are reading, I will pack my plates myself to the kitchen after eating rather than disturb their reading. We have no house maids. My children sweep, cook and do other house chores. There are no cut-out roles for my wife or anybody in my house. There is no rule that says my wife must cook or do other things. I wash the toilet sometimes since everything one needs to clean the toilet is there.

A Federal High Court judge, Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia, has been busted by
detectives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in a hospital
admission racket in Lagos.
Justice Ofili-Ajumogobia on Wednesday told EFC officials by phone that
she was on admission in a Lagos hospital in Ikoyi, as an excuse why she
could not respond to the anti-graft agency’s invitation for
interrogation in the last two days.
