Mozyx, of popular 90's music group, Felyx and Mozyx, down with kidney failure

I saw this on Linda Ikeji's blog and copied it verbatim:


 Mozzyx on the hospital bed
Mozzyx

Fellyx and Mozzyx was a popular Nigerian music group in the 90s. If you grew up in Nigeria in the 90s, you definitely know who they are. Unfortunately, one of the group members, Mozyx, real name Moses Ikomi is critically ill. Moses has been battling chronic kidney failure for over two years now. Doctors say his kidneys have packed up, so he needs a kidney transplant ASAP. The operation needs to be done in India and he needs financial help to make this possible. Please help keep Mozyx alive.

Poor and Neglected Gringory is Dead


This is the caption that best captures the whole picture. The creator of the very hilarious TV comedy series, The New Masquerade, is dead. Mr. James Iroha was 70, and he had cried out for help a few weeks ago. Unlike our politicians, the hardworking and creative people who serve the country selflessly usually die in penury.
And like I posted on twitter and facebook last night, "If you had the power to help Gringory but failed to do so, please keep your 'R.I.P Gringory' to yourself. Otherwise, God may slap you silly!"

R.I.P Pa James Iroha.

Agbani Darego's Uncle Kidnapped


Bereaved ex-Miss World, Agbani Darego is not having the best of time right now. The beauty queen who is still trying to cope with the fact that her father will be buried in a few weeks was dealt another blow with the kidnap of her uncle, Apostle Ememenia Darego.
Apostle Darego was kidnapped a few days ago on his way home from a family meeting held in the D/line area of Port Harcourt, Rivers state. The meeting was about the burial arrangements of Agbani's father, Chief Asenite Kaladokubo Jack.
The kidnappers are asking for a ransom of N20 million.

Goge Africa Presenters Become Parents After 13 years of Marriage


Goge Africa presenters, Isaac and Nneka Moses, have every reason to be thankful to God. The inseparable couple finally became proud parents after 13 years of marriage, as Nneka Moses was delivered of a baby boy recently.
Although the details of the birth were kept secret, Isaac took to Facebook to express his gratitude to God: “All honour and glory to God; my wife has delivered a beautiful baby boy. And just looking at him, I realize he is worth the long wait. So welcome baby Kamara Isaac Moses.”
I am so touched by this story. I just wish many more couples endure marital challenges like Isaac and Nneka Moses, the African culture and tourism ambassadors.

Sodiq (left) and the Late Sylvester (right)

Sodiq Adeojo, son of popular Ibadan-based politician, Alhaji Yekini Adeojo, has been sentenced to jail. He was given a life sentence with a minimum of 30 years for the murder of Sylvester Akapalara. Sylvester was a promising 17-year-old athlete.

Well, what can I say? Kudos to the British legal system!!!!!

AWOL Manchester City Striker, Carlos Tevez finally swallowed his pride and apologized “sincerely and unreservedly” for his refusal to warm up for the club’s match against Bayern Munich in the Champions’ League group stage.
In a statement released by the club on Tuesday, Tevez said:  "I wish to apologise sincerely and unreservedly to everybody I have let down and to whom my actions over the last few months have caused offence.
"My wish is to concentrate on playing football for Manchester City Football Club.''
Carlos Tevez made spirited efforts to join another club during the January transfer window, but his transfer fee scared clubs like Inter Millan, AC Milan (Italy) and Paris Saint Germain (France) away.
Hmmmmmmm………… He thought the club would collapse without him, abi? Well, who is smiling now? Work on your attitude joor!
