I want her to be mine.” According to  CNN , “her” was Yvonne Lamas, his girlfriend of 11 years, fiancée of nine. The hospital staff arranged the wedding for the couple hours before Hinojosa died. Hinojosa proposed to Lamas years before he was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. "He was determined to give me the best fairytale wedding," Lamas told CNN of wedding planning. "He tried saving up, but within that time he ended up getting diagnosed with the leukemia.” A fungal infection of his throat and lungs landed him back in the hospital in October, where he’d been ever since. When Hinojosa made his request Friday, another chaplain drove Lamas to the courthouse for a marriage licen

The planned fight could generate nearly fifty million pounds and could also change the very landscape of boxing for a long, long time. So far the pair of prize fighters will fight for Joshua’s IBF heavyweight belt, the vacant WBA version and Klitschko’s personal favourite, the IBO version, which is also vacant, when an expected crowd of 80,000 spend in excess of 12 million quid at the creaking turnstiles. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/boxing/article-4034224/Tyson-Fury-fired-Wladimir-Klitschko-Anthony-Joshua-clash-April-29.html

A few weeks ago we previewed some of the things we’re working on to address the issue of fake news and hoaxes. We’re committed to doing our part and today we’d like to share some updates we’re testing and starting to roll out. We believe in giving people a voice and that we cannot become arbiters of truth ourselves, so we’re approaching this problem carefully. We’ve focused our efforts on the worst of the worst, on the clear hoaxes spread by spammers for their own gain, and on engaging both our community and third party organizations. The work falls into the following four areas. These are just some of the first steps we’re taking to improve the experience for people on Facebook. We’ll learn from these tests, and iterate and extend them over time. Easier Reporting We’re testing several ways to make it easier to report a hoax if you see one on Facebook, which you can do by clicking the upper right hand corner of a post. We’ve relied heavily on our community for help on this iss

Itse Sagay, chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee on Corruption, says the appointment of Ibrahim Magu, chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), will be “renewed” whether he is confirmed or not. On Thursday, the senate refused to confirm Magu’s appointment after leaving the matter pending for five months. But in a previous chat with The Interview, which was only revealed on Thursday, Sagay said: “Whether they like it or not, he (Magu) will be there. His chairmanship will keep on being renewed. “Since Nuhu Ribadu left, we have not had a man with such sterling qualities as Ibrahim Magu and whether they like it or not, Magu will be there until he completes his term under the law.” The EFCC chairman has a four-year tenure.

ABUJA-President Muhammadu Buhari Wednesday recalled with nostalgia his days in the Nigerian Army, saying that they were characterized by war, coups and counter-coups. He said that as a young military officer, there was no time for academic pursuits. He therefore commended the leadership of the present Nigerian military for the intellectual transformation of the officer corps.

The meteoric rise of one of the world's largest Ponzi schemes in Nigeria [b]In spite of the government's warnings against it, many Nigerians continue to invest in Mavrodi Mundial Movement (MMM), a Russian company that was responsible for one of the world's largest Ponzi schemes of all time. On 13 December, the company said it was 'freezing' all confirmed accounts. While many that are opposed to the scheme believe the suspension may be an indication of an imminent collapse, MMM Nigeria assured its members it was only freezing the system for a period of one month. "The reason for this measure is evident. We need to prevent problems during the New Year season, and then, when everything calms down, this measure will be canceled," the administrator said in a message sent to all members. In spite of the indication that things may not be in order with MMM, Ifeanyi Okoro and some other members remain confident in the scheme. Confidence remai

For Nigerian subscribers of the Mavrodi Mondial Moneybox (MMM), Chuddy, who is a ’top guider,’ took to his blog, yesterday, and called for calm. On Monday evening, Sergey Mavrodi penned an open letter, with the title, “One-month freezing of confirmed Mavros,” where he informed subscribers of a pay freeze until January 13, 2017. “Dear members, as usual, in the New Year season, the system is experiencing heavy workload. Moreover, it has to deal with the constant frenzy provoked by authorities in the mass media. “The things are still going well; the participants feel calm; everyone gets paid – as you can see there haven’t been any payment delays or other problems yet – but!..it is better to avoid taking risk. Moreover, there are just three weeks left to the New Year. “On the basis of the above mentioned, therefore, all confirmed Mavros will be frozen for a month…” a part of the letter read. Yesterday, however, Chudi said two factors necessitated the freeze. One was

Many people borrowed loans and some sold their properties to be able to participate in anticipation of funding the Christmas and New Year with the profit margin that was to come with their principal.

Arsenal youngster, Alex Iwobi has expressed shock on how his Nigerian fans ask him for money rather than autographs. Iwobi made this known in an interview with Guardian. He said: “Everyone appreciates you [in Nigeria], you’re almost like a king!”. When I arrived at the airport I thought, I’ll just have my earphones in, but everyone was like ‘Iwobi! Iwobi!’ Oh gosh. Hi guys! “I didn’t know what to expect. It was just mad. I always go with Kelechi Iheanacho. When we go we get escorted. Because I’m not used to the Nigerian culture as much as they are, they do help me with it. They help me with the fans. The fans are very different there. They don’t ask me for autographs, they ask for boots, money. At my debut we played in a stadium that holds 30,000 and there was 60,000 – I don’t understand how. People were standing on the floodlights, on the scoreboard,” he added. “I was thinking, ‘What? This isn’t even safe! But people there will do anything to watch the match. Somet

Have you tried to add up the hours you spend in your car... It’s a lot, isn’t it? Commutes, errand runs and road trips can have you sitting in those bucket seats for hours on end, and during that time, you and your passengers are actually living in the interior. That means smudges on the windows, scratches on the dash and food in the seat crevices accumulate and leave you wondering what happened to the spotless interior you swear it had when you first bought the car. A Quick Clean Luckily, it’s not that difficult to keep a car’s cabin from looking a little too, well, lived in. First things first, get something to stuff your trash into. Just use a plastic bag or a container you don’t use around the house and throw it in the backseat. You can even affix a temporary hook to the door or seat to keep things even neater. Every once and awhile, take it out and relish in the fact that you haven’t spent an hour cleaning up. Keeping trash off the floor also preserves your carpe
