According to MailOnline, A guest who attended the low-key wedding confirmed the news saying it was a ‘fabulous occasion’.

‘They did get married, and I was present. It was a fabulous occasion. Adele was dressed in a classic attire and Simon looked very smart and joyous’, a source close to the star told the MailOnline.

The rumours of the wedding began when Life & Style Magazine published photos of the 24-year-old wearing a gold band on her wedding finger.

An HIV/AIDS laboratory and clinic, called AIDS Prevention Initiative (APIN) Lab, at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), Idi-Araba, on Thursday evening caught fire.

The lab, which is funded by the USAID, was completely razed.

No lives were lost in the incident, however, the cause of the fire was still unknown as at the time of filing this report.

The State Fire Service was immediately alerted to help contain the fire, while hospital staff and some sympathisers mobilised to move patients to safety.

The hospital's Chief Medical Director, Akin Oshibogun, said the fire was started around 7pm.
By 8pm, the fire was put out, but a lot of damage had already been done.

"Some doctors were having a meeting inside the building when they were alerted by shouts of fire! fire! by passersby, and they immediately swung into action to evacuate the building," he said.

The razed structure used to serve as a physiotherapy unit before it was later expanded and converted to an HIV/AIDS treatment and research facility.

LUTH is a federal teaching hospital, attached to the University of Lagos, Akoka.

It celebrated its 50th anniversary this year, with free medical treatment to the public for some categories of ailments.

Kris Humphries Sued For Herpes Transfer

Kris Humphries has just been sued by a woman who claims he gave her herpes ...Says TMZ

Kayla Goldberg claims she met Kris in August, 2010 at the Newsroom Cafe on Robertson Blvd in L.A. -- long before Kris met Kim Kardashian. The two flirted, exchanged numbers, and Kayla claims that night they met up at Trousdale nightclub on the Sunset Strip.

According to the suit, Kris came on to Kayla, touching, kissing and dancing with her. Kayla claims he took her to his hotel and they had sex multiple times ... including oral sex. The suit claims during a portion of the sexual encounter Kris did not wear a condom.

The lawsuit claims Kris did not inform Kayla he had herpes -- and she claims in the suit that he did indeed have the disease.

Kayla says a week later she was diagnosed with herpes. Her symptoms included a sore throat, fever, body aches and immobilizing pain, as well as extreme vaginal irritation and painful lesions on her genitalia.

She's suing for sexual battery claiming Kris knew he had herpes when they hooked up and didn't tell her.

Kayla -- who put her full name in the lawsuit -- is suing for unspecified damages.

Flavour Accused By Ghanaian Singer

Popular Nigerian highlife musician, Flavour Nabania is currently involved in a legal battle with Ghanaian singing duo, Wutah, over the alleged theft of their intellectual property.

According to the Ghanaians, Flavour’s new single Kwarikwa on which he featured Fally Ipupa, was a ‘carbon copy’ of their Kotosa song which they released in 2008. They are accusing the Nigerian singer of stealing the chorus, rhythm, tempo and the opening saxophone they used on their song, without consulting with them for permission, being the owners of the original song.

‘This does not come as a surprise to me as I already knew point blank that the material put out by Flavour was an outright plagiarized product of Kotosa. I mean I heard what seemed like Kotosa blasting from the huge speakers in a CD vendor’s shop when Iwas driving to a friend’s home when I visited Nigeria last two months. I was happy and surprised that Kotosa had finally made its way to Nigeria aftermaking hits in Ghana only to hear Flavour’s signatured hi-life voice on the beat! I was disappointed to say the least. I shook my head as I passed by’ said the manager of the defunct group.

Oprah Ranks No.1, While Tiger Woods Ranks No.21 On Forbes Highest-Paid Celebrities

Oprah Winfrey
$165 million
The media mogul's earnings fell by a staggering $125 million from last year. However, even with the drop, she remains the highest earner on the list, just inching out director Michael Bay. It's been a challenging year for Winfrey, who signed off from her 25-year syndicated show and immediately turned her attention to struggling cable network OWN. The bulk of the earnings dive comes from lost income on The Oprah Winfrey Show, but her diversified portfolio includes O: The Oprah Magazine, spin-off shows like The Dr. Oz Show and a radio deal with Sirius. She does not earn a salary at OWN, which has faced ratings disappointments and financial issues since it premiered in Jan. 2011. As chairman and CEO of the joint venture with Discovery Communications, she hopes a recent restructuring, new programming and a distribution deal with Comcast will turn the network around.

Nigerians say NO to new N5,000 note!

Plans by the Central Bank of Nigeria to restructure the country’s currencies, especially the introduction of N5,000 note, will facilitate corruption, promote money laundering and increase financing of terrorist activities, say stakeholders in the financial sector.

The stakeholders, who spoke to Saturday Vanguard, yesterday, said the introduction of the N5,000 note would adversely affect the economy and have a ripple effect on the populace.

“I hope the new N5000 note is NOT another policy somersault? With steps already taken by CBN itself to address money laundering in the country such as Know-Your-Customers, re-validation of banks’ customers and the on going cashless Lagos, one wonders if the proposed higher denomination of N5000 will not undermine that effort, coupled with our inability to discover and disrupt terrorism financing,” said Mr. Tunde Salman, a financial analyst

WAEC: Uwadiae spits fire over exam malpractices, results leakage, others

In less than five weeks, the Head of Nigerian Office (HNO) of the West African Examination Council (WAEC), Dr. Iyi Uwadiae will bow out of office, giving way for a new man, Mr. Charleston Mivoghenubo Eguridu.

While announcing the release of the May/June 2012 West African School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results, Penultimate Friday, Uwadiae happily disclosed to journalists that his bowing out is for good, as he has just been ratified during WAEC’s 60th Annual Council Meeting to step in as its new Registrar on October 1, 2012. He will therefore assume office, when Alhaja (Mrs.) Mulikat A. Bello, statutorily retires from the council.

Amidst pump and champagne by close friends and associates for this progressive move, it however, becomes expedient to critically overview the exam body under the administration of Uwadiae.

Myriads of challenges
Since assuming office four years ago, like what many termed baptism of fire, Uwadiae went through hurdles of handling reported cases of gross involvement in examination malpractices by students, as aided and abetted teachers and officials; leaked exam question papers, release of conflicting exam results, touts who extort and dupe candidates and their parents to upgrade results and correct informational errors on certificates, controversies in Council’s Award of Excellence to performing candidates, but a few to mention.

Bolton Wanderers have announced that Fabrice Muamba has retired from football.

The 23-year-old suffered a cardiac arrest after collapsing on the pitch during Bolton’s FA Cup sixth-round match with Tottenham last season. Medics rushed onto the pitch to try and resuscitate the midfielder, who was later rushed to hospital.

In a statement on the club’s official website he said: “Since suffering my heart attack and being discharged from hospital, I have remained utterly positive in the belief I could one day resume my playing career and play for Bolton Wanderers once again.

“As part of my on-going recovery, last week I travelled to Belgium to seek further medical advice from a leading cardiologist.

“But the news I received was obviously not what I had hoped it would be and it means I am now announcing my retirement from professional football.”
