A family has arranged a wedding without a bride for their disabled son who could not find a wife for himself. Sadly for us, dreams aren’t always realized no matter how much we want them. When Ajay Barot, a 27-year-old Indian man, couldn’t find a suitable partner, he feared he’d never be able to get married – something he always dreamt of doing. The Gujrat native, who has learning disabilities, worried it was never going to happen – so his family decided to show him otherwise. With much fanfare, they gave Ajay his dream wedding day – filled with colours, hundreds of guests, music, the lot. The only difference was, the wedding didn’t have a bride. But no matter for the Barot family, they had all the traditional trimmings of an Indian wedding – with 200 guests in attendance and even a haldi (pre-wedding) ceremony. Ajay’s uncle, Kamlesh, explained to The Times of India that it was his own son’s wedding that further sparked his interest in getting married. ‘Ajay had always wanted such an oc...

Hackers were able to remotely install surveillance software on phones and other devices using a major vulnerability in messaging app WhatsApp, it has been confirmed. WhatsApp, which is owned by Facebook, said the attack targeted a “select number” of users, and was orchestrated by “an advanced cyber actor”. A fix was rolled out on Friday. The attack was developed by Israeli security firm NSO Group, according to a report in the Financial Times. On Monday, WhatsApp urged all of its 1.5 billion users to update their apps as an added precaution. The attack was first discovered earlier this month. How was the security flaw used? It involved attackers using WhatsApp’s voice calling function to ring a target’s device. Even if the call was not picked up, the surveillance software would be installed, and, the FT reported, the call would often disappear from the device’s call log. WhatsApp told the BBC its security team was the first to identify the flaw, and shared that information with human ri...

Spanish giants, Barcelona are reportedly on the verge of sacking manager, Ernesto Valverde following their Champions League humiliation at Liverpool. The Catalans threw away a three-goal first leg lead to lose 4-0 at Anfield in Tuesday night's semi-final, second leg. Liverpool made it through to the finals on 4 -3 aggregate. Although, Barcelona have won both La Liga and the Copa del Rey, losing out on the Champions League won't be enough to save Valverde. According to Spanish newspaper Marca, Valverde is 'on the edge of the abyss' and his future is in doubt despite only renewing his Nou Camp contract a few months ago. Marca say his new deal is 'not unbreakable' and his future at the club is extremely precarious. 'I do not know how it's going to affect me. Here we are, the coach has to take responsibility,' Valverde said in the aftermath of the defeat. 'It's very painful for us, especially for our people, it's the second year they've c...

A father killed his newborn son in anger after losing a video game, police have said. Anthony Trice , 26, reportedly hurled the controller before battering the little boy, called De’Anthony Trice, at his home in Louisville, Kentucky, on Friday. That alleged slap seriously injured De’Anthony, with Trice then picking him up to take him into the kitchen to make him a bottle of milk. He is said to have dropped the newborn onto the floor, before picking him up again. It is unclear whether Trice dropped his tiny son deliberately, or by accident. WLKY said that afterwards, Trice took the youngster into a bedroom and propped him up in a seated position. He went to the bathroom, returned to find the little boy was in distress, and dialed 911, it is alleged. The child was rushed to Norton Children’s Hospital, where he died on Sunday, May 5 2019. A GoFundMe page set up by the child's grandma Tonija Michelle showed De’Anthony hooked up to a ventilator before he passed away. Trice was initially...

Statue of Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II Some residents within the Kumasi Metropolis and its environs have taken to the airwaves to express disgust over the statue of the Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II positioned inside the multi-million dollar new Kejetia Market. They argue that the sculpture does not represent the true image of the Asante King, adding that it has marred the beauty of the state-of-the-art edifice. According to them, the statue represents another person and not their King who has ruled the Asante Kingdom for twenty years. Their disappointment came after the statue was unveiled on Wednesday during the inauguration of the new Kejetia market with President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in attendance. Some radio commentators and serial callers who also called into the various radio stations monitored by MyNewsGh questioned why the KMA officials didn’t ensure that due diligence was done before the unveiling of the statue on Wednesday saying such a blunder is unforgivable. T...

Reverend George Lutterodt Controversial Ghanaian marriage Counselor, Reverend George Lutterodt has made another claim that Jesus smiles at the mention of his name during sex. According to Counselor Lutterodt, the assertion by the founder and leader of Heaven’s Gate Ministries Prophet Kumchacha that it’s a sin for people having sex to scream the name Jesus and would eventually take the person to hell is false. Speaking from his base in the US, the counselor made mention that Jesus rather smiles whenever he hears his name been mentioned when people are enjoying themselves in sex. According to him, Kumchacha knows nothing about the topic that was why he passed such statement when asked to share his view on the topic.

Controversial actress, Tonto Dikeh , has put her failed marriage saga aside to bond with her Instagram followers by sharing the gospel with them. In her Sunday sermon, the actress wrote on taking God at his word and also acting on the word of God as His word never fails. Read her sermon in full: Good morning beautiful people of God, Here’s (ROR) *TAKE HIM AT HIS WORD.* *As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him (Psalm 18:30).* One of the things that you have to learn to do, as a Christian, is to take God at His Word and act on His Word. There’re lots of Christians who probably have never been taught to do this. Many, somehow, have learnt to disbelieve God from the experience of their environment. We live in a world where we’re exposed to all kinds of materials and information that tend to instil doubt, fear and unbelief. For example, when children grow up in an environment where people generally don’t keep to their wor...

Nigerian Actress Regina Daniels Contrary to the speculations that the senior wives of billionaire, Ned Nwoko, 59,  are at war with his alleged new and 6th wife, Regina Daniels, 20, his image consultant, Karifest ‘Duchess’ Onyeka, has shutdown the rumors. She told Sunday Scoop:    “It is a big fat lie that the other wives of Ned Nwoko have ganged up against Regina Daniels. I’m not supposed to comment on this but I want to correct the false impression. That fake news is the handwork of enemies. There is none of Ned’s wives that is at loggerheads with anybody. Whoever he is married to is too comfortable to complain. They have the choicest cars and whatever they want at their disposal. So, what do they have to complain about? The man (Nwoko) is a nice, kind and lovable person. He is a humanitarian and he loves humanity so much. Because of that, he goes out of his way to take care of many people. Coming to the issue of his wives, I believe he has the sole prerogative to do wha...

Boko Haram Terrorists Boko Haram jihadists have seized a military base in Northeast Nigeria, days after an attack left five troops dead and 30 missing. Security sources and residents said Saturday. A column of fighters from the IS-affiliated Islamic State West Africa Province in trucks and on motorcycles stormed into the base in the town of Magumeri, 50 kilometers (30 miles) from the Borno state capital Maiduguri late Friday. The militants overran the base for several hours, hauling away weapons before they were forced out. “The terrorists dislodged troops from the base after an intense fight,” a military officer told AFP. “We lost weapons and equipment to the terrorists but it is not clear if there was any human loss,” said the officer, who asked not to be named. The jihadists arrived in the town around 5:00 pm (17:00HRS GMT) and engaged troops in an hour-long fight before they “gained the upper hand and chased the troops away,” militia leader Gremah Kaka told AFP. “The insurgents ove...

Ronaldinho Gaucho Brazil's Ronaldinho has found a second calling after retiring from professional football: rapper. The former Brazil national and FC Barcelona megastar — Ronaldinho Gaucho — has released a song along with Brazilian singer Jorge Vercillo decrying corruption in their country. The 2005 Golden Ball award winner appears in a video, recorded in a studio, wearing a black beret and a white tank top emblazoned with the image of Saint George slaying a dragon. Halfway through the duet, he plays the drums, then breaks out in a 30-second rap solo. “Love is our game, from start to finish, in my heart, there are no longer enemies,” he raps. He then asks the armour-clad Christian saint to slay “the dragon of greed” and corruption, while a chorus bemoans the squandering of public funds in detriment of “schools and hospitals.” This is not the first musical outing for Ronaldinho, 39, who hung up his football cleats in January 2018. He has also performed with Tunisian rapper K2rhym an...
