Deontay Wilder Receives Six-Week Suspension Following Defeat to Tyson Fury

Following his harsh defeat to Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder has been medically suspended for the next six weeks.

"Acceptance took time" – Man finds love with his late wife’s best friend two years after her passing

A Kenyan actor, Dan Sonko, has opened up for the first time about starting a relationship with another woman after his wife's passing.

Deji Adeyanju highlights the consequence of Olisa Metuh’s conviction

Former National Secretary of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), Olisa Metuh, has been found guilty of money laundering by Justice Okon Abang today.   It was ruled by the judge that Metuh failed to prove that the N400m transferred to his account and that of his firm, Destra Investments Limited, was approved by former President Goodluck Jonathan for the 2015 general elections. Metuh's argument that the money was sent to him for the 2015 election campaign was not accepted by the Federal High Court. The ruling stated that Metuh should have been aware that the N400m were proceeds of an unlawful activity.   Deji Adeyanju, an activist, emphasizes that the implication of this judgement is that anyone who receives money for any transactio...
