I’m fine and doing well now, thanks Nigerians – Leo Mezie

Nollywood actor Leo Mezie who was down with kidney failure and receiving treatment in London has confirmed reports that he is back to Nigeria perfectly hale and hearty.

A lot of Nigerians were sad months ago when news went viral that Leo was seriously down with kidney problems and needed about N10m for an operation abroad. It was reported that both his kidneys had collapsed and the actor could no longer use his right leg due to his ailment.
However, luck smiled on him. Leo was able to raise the required N10million and was flown out of the country for the needed operation. When he arrived the hospital, the actor was quick to thank
Nigerians for coming to his rescue via a YouTube video.

On Wednesday, the actor was sighted at the airport as he arrived from London where he went for his medical treatment.

Saturday Beats reports that they put a call through to the actor and from his voice, it was obvious that the bald-headed actor is hale and hearty.

With excitement in his voice, the actor pleaded that people should give him some time to rest and spend some time with his family before he would address the public. He however was quick to add that he is hale and hearty.

“It has all been God and I give him all the thanks and praises. I just got back into Nigeria and I would beg you to please let me rest and spend some time with my family. I promise to address the public properly next week. I am very thankful to Nigerians for their love and support,” Mezie said.

Check out these photos of Indian family born with 12 fingers and 12 toes

An extraordinary Indian family has baffled experts after each of the 25 members were born with 12 fingers and 12 toes.

According to Dailymail, Krishna Choudhary, who lives in a small village in Gaya, in Bihar, northern India, has six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot - just like his father and siblings.

The unusual condition made it difficult for the 50-year-old to arrange his daughter's marriages - because prospective husbands dislike the condition.

Mr. Choudhary Krishna, who works as a daily wage laborer, said:

'My father and grandfather had 24 fingers. I along with my brothers and sister have 24 fingers and our children and grandchildren are also affected by the condition.'

'I don't have any problems with my extra fingers but my children and grandchildren suffer a lot. I've had boys that have refused to marry the girls of my family after learning of their condition. 

'Four people rejected my daughter after finding out she had 24 fingers. I do not know why, but this is awful.'

Krishna also admits it's difficult for him and his children to find footwear that are comfortable. They are forced to always wear flip-flops.

'We cannot find footwear for our feet,' he said. 'They don't fit us well so we have no option but to wear these and we can't afford to customized shoes.'

Krishna's sister-in-law, Sitbiya Choudhary, considers the condition a blessing, while other members of the family feel they have been cursed. Sitbiya said:

'I feel it is a blessing on all of us; else it is impossible to have all members of the family to have the same condition. It must be some kind of message from God.'

Dr Aayush Gupta, an assistant Professor at the department of dermatology, at Dr. D.Y. Patil Medical College, Pune, said:

'The term is medically called Polydactyly.

'It is a genetic disorder, caused by a mutation during the development of genes and a congenital physical anomaly in human beings where they have supernumerary fingers.

'There may not be any physical issues related to the extra fingers but people do sometimes suffer from the psychological issues of living with such a condition. Usually extra digits on the ulnar side cause no problem. These extra fingers could be removed in surgery if the patient requires but it can be costly.'

I wasn’t detained in the US because of my huge b00b – Cossy Ojiakor

Controversial Nollywood actress Cossy Ojiakor has debunked renowned stand-up comedian, Ali Baba's viral story that said she was detained at an airport for over two hours because of her breast. lol.
You recall that Alibaba, who is known to be very active on social media, last Wednesday posted this on his Instagram page:

“So @cossyojiakor and I were on the same flight to the USA last month… I had crossed Immigration and even checked in and realized she had not called to say she had checked in… Called later and found out they held her back at the airport for two hours. Why? I asked her. She said they said something about “No dairy products allowed”… Still don’t get it.”
Well, Punch reached out to the voluptuous young lady via her spokesperson, and he said Cossy saw the post and laughed about it. The story didn't happen and Alibaba was only joking.

“When she saw the post she laughed because she knew that Alibaba was only joking and she does not take things like that to heart. Most times when she reads things about herself in the media, she only laughs.
The only time she took offence to a write-up was when she was accused of bestiality but that is in the past. She knows Alibaba was only joking and you can call Alibaba to confirm,” he said.

Kanye West receives backlash from fans when he reveals to concertgoers that he would have voted for Donald Trump if he had to vote

On Thursday night, rapper, Kanye West arrived an hour late to his San Jose concert. Instead of jumping straight into his set list, he started to rant about this year's US presidential election. He said:

"I told y'all I didn't vote, right? But if I were to vote, I would have voted on Trump," he told the crowd, who immediately began booing him.
He continued to talk about why he supported the president-elect before transitioning into his song, "Heartless."

Shortly after starting Heartless, he stopped again to rant some more. He said:
"I just said that I would have voted for Donald Trump and then I did a song and y'all sang it at the top of your lungs". "That doesn't mean that you're a Trump supporter. That just means you ok with a celebrity having their own opinion. Or that someone else is ok to have their own opinion.
That might not be your opinion but you can still like that person or still like that person's music."

He went on to call out last week's Saturday Night Live host, Dave Chappelle, saying:

"Dave Chapelle, it's ok. We can have opinions as celebrities. I know you said we couldn't, but thank you for breaking the ice on a mentality of a generation."

Then he talked about racism in the US. He said:

"Specifically to black people, stop focusing on racism. This world is racist, ok? Let's stop being distracted to focus on that as much. It's just a f**king fact. We are in a racist country. Period… Not one or the other candidate was going to instantly change that."

Kanye West also confirmed that he still plans to run for President in 2020 saying:

"I will take position in 2020 and do it myself."

“I wanted to say that before the election, but they told me, ‘Whatever you do, don’t say that aloud,’” West explained.

The Grammy-winning rapper also spoke about how he admired the Trump campaign.

“Not only did I not vote, but there were a lot of things I actually liked about Trump’s campaign,” said West, who later added: “His approach was (expletive) genius — because it worked.”

U.S. Govt expresses concern over deaths of Nigerians during clashes between police and Shia Muslims in Kano

The U.S Government has expressed its concern over the killings of Nigerians by police during the clashes between the police and Shia Muslims in Kano State last Monday.

A statement issued on Friday, November 18th, by John Kirby, U.S. Department of State's Assistant Secretary and spokesperson, said the Shia community have the right to assemble, peacefully express their religious beliefs, and mark their celebrations.

"The United States is deeply concerned by the deaths of dozens of Nigerians during clashes between individuals participating in a Shia procession and the Nigerian Police Force in Kano State on November 14, the statement reads.

"While the matter is still under investigation, we are troubled by the apparent disproportionate response by the police. This is the latest in a series of violent incidents between security forces and members of the Shia Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN), some of which have resulted in deaths, destruction of property, and the arbitrary detention of IMN members.

"The United States calls for calm and restraint on all sides, a reduction of tensions, and greater communication between Shia citizens and government authorities.

Members of the Shia community, like other religious communities, have the right to assemble, peacefully express their religious beliefs, and mark their celebrations.

"We call on the Nigerian government to protect and defend these rights. It is also incumbent on members of the IMN and all Nigerian citizens to respect the rule of law and cooperate with the police as they attempt to maintain public order.

"We continue to urge the government to ensure accountability for the deaths of more than 300 IMN members during December 15, 2015 clashes between the IMN and security forces in Zaria, Kaduna State. We also call on the Nigerian government to conduct a transparent investigation of the latest incidents and bring to account anyone responsible for violating the law"
