Born and raised in Nigeria, Francis Anwana was just 14 years old when he came to the United States on a student visa. He was deaf, couldn't talk, and had cognitive disabilities, enrolling at the Michigan School for the Deaf in Flint. Now 48, Anwana lives in Detroit at an adult foster care facility, helping mow the lawns and mop the floors at a nearby church on Detroit's west side. But in a shock to immigrant advocates, the U.S. now wants to deport Anwana to Nigeria, a country he has not lived since he was a teenager. Given his severe disabilities, it would be a virtual "death sentence" for him, said Susan Reed, an attorney with the Michigan Immigrant Rights Center. Because of his disability, Anwana can only read at a second-grade level and is unable to mentally grasp the fact he could be forced to go back to Nigeria, according to advocates and his lawyer. On Wednesday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) told Anwana he would be deported on Tuesday, S

"All the girls that washed your smelling boxers, which one did you marry?" - Nigerian lawyer blasts men shaming single women" Read his post below "YOU ARE GETTING OLD O... YOU WILL REMAIN IN YOUR FATHER'S HOUSE." I find it very disgusting when I see young men going around making jokes, trolling ladies and trying to make them feel guilty for being single. Many of these dudes have even perfected this art into a manipulative tool. Small thing, "you are getting old o, you will remain in your father's house" or "that is how they will do and remain in their father's house". Abegi! You toast girl she no gree, then you go, "that is how you will do and remain in your father's house". If she doesn't reply your chats or texts, if she doesn't pick your calls, if she refuse to visit you, if she refuse to send you nudes, if she refuse to take your rudeness; "leave that girl, she will remain in her father's h

A famous 87-year-old Russian actor is divorcing his 27-year-old wife because she has refused to have sex with him. Ivan Krasko, famous for more than 140 roles in Soviet and Russian movies, wed Natalia Krasko in September of 2015. However he said that almost immediately she had started refusing sex – because she was worried about getting pregnant. He said she was also worried about the fact that they did not have the money to raise a child and did not even have a place of their own to stay in. The revelation is in contrast to his statement last year that he wanted to have children with Natalia, but now he wants a divorce from his younger wife. Reportedly Natalia who grew up in a poor family felt that she did not want the same destiny for her children. Natalia said:  ‘I don’t want to become a single mother, children mean responsibility, and we don’t even have our own place.’ During all the years of their marriage the pair has been living with Krasko’s grandson Kirill’s at the

While many people are shamed to do some certain legal job to earn a living, it’s beautiful to see that more and more, people are rising above 'what people will say' and living their lives.  2013 Project Fame winner Olawale was few days ago reported to now works as a cab driver, the singer has confirmed the report. In an interview with Punch, Olawale said he does the job because it pays the bills and gives him time to focus on his music career. He said: It is very true that I am a cab driver. Everybody knows that money finishes, especially when you are in an industry where you have to pay for virtually everything. To promote your songs, you need money. When I completed the Project Fame competition, I released some songs, even after the one year contract I had with them expired. To release all those songs cost me money; it is not as if I won N200m. There were some other personal things I spent my money on. I have a video that tells my story and I mentioned a lot of thi

When asked if she’ll revisit her music career, Omotola said: "You can call that my first love if you want. I know a lot of people get shocked when I say that I love singing more than acting, but that is just the truth and I would have to speak my truth. I know that people think I have not ‘blown’ (made it big) as a singer so they expect me to just say acting is my love, but I would shock the world soon." She responded with “Oh! Of course.” when asked if her last statement meant she’ll be returning to the studio soon. On why she took a break from Nollywood: I was focusing on some other things which were based on building.
