This is fast becoming a trend among some wives in major Nigerian cities. Many guys are not happy with this picture, they believe it is contrary to African culture for a husband to take up such roles like baby sitting in the home.

The chat show host invited her fans to watch the ceremony by posting a message on Twitter and jokingly asking for a ride home afterwards.
She wrote: "I'm getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today at 11am. Come watch me! Also, I'd love a ride home. 6270 Hollywood Blvd (sic)."
She later added: "So excited to see fans here at the W Hollywood to see me get my star on the Walk of Fame! Come down if you can!"

According to E! News, Ellen said: "It is amazing. I spent my entire career trying to conduct myself in a certain way making sure no one walks all over me only to get to a point where people are going to walk all over me.
"It means so much to me that everyone showed up."

Seatbelt for Kanye at 2012's MTV VMAs
The rapper caused controversy at the Video Music Awards in 2009 when he interrupted Taylor Swift's speech, after she won the award for Best Female Video, to insist Beyoncé Knowles should have won and Kevin is taking no chances this year.
He joked to BANG Showbiz: "What we did this year was we banned the artists who could embarrass themselves.
"With Kanye we've got a seatbelt for his seat that he can't get out of, little things that they never thought of in the past to make sure it all goes ok this year.
"No, actually I hope someone does something stupid though, that's what it's all about.
"We need stuff to talk about the next day. It's the MTV VMAs. This is where all the stupid stuff can happen and should happen."

Nigerian spy agency details leaked
The data about more than 60 employees of Nigeria's State Security Service remained easily accessible on the internet for days. It also had details about the agency's director-general, including his mobile phone number, bank account details and contact information for his son.
The material, posted by someone who claimed to be a member of a radical Islamist sect, has since been deleted from the comment section of a website. However, cached versions of the material remain on the internet.
Monitoring domestic dissent
A State Security Service spokesperson did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Thursday.
The State Security Service, created in 1986 by then-military ruler General Ibrahim Babangida, monitors domestic dissent in the oil-rich nation of more than 160 million people.
Though geared toward stopping terrorism and destabilising coups, the agency routinely faces criticism for targeting government critics.
The information leak came in two postings earlier this month on a website that provides rewritten news on Nigeria. The first posting threatened to kill agents of the State Security Service on behalf of Boko Haram, a radical Islamist sect responsible for more than 660 killings this year alone in Nigeria.
The second posting simply offered a block of text containing biographical and other details about the agents.
Though the comments have been removed, the AP is not identifying the website involved as cached versions of the comments remain online and intelligence service agents have been killed by Boko Haram members in the past.
Boko Haram ties
Some of those contacted suggested that the list appeared to come from the agency's pension department, as it mostly included retirees and listed bank account information for nearly all those named.
It is unclear if the person who posted the information online really does have ties to Boko Haram, which has targeted security officials in the past.
Violence has been centred mostly in the country's Muslim north. One retired agent who spoke to AP said he was grateful he lives in the largely Christian south, away from the sect's attacks.
"It's worrying that they have access to that," the agent said. "Those living in Abuja (and the north) are the ones who should living in fear."

Conjoined Twins Abigail and Brittany Hensel Offers A Glimpes Into Their Lifes in New Reality Show
But America's latest reality duo are far from average.
The first amazing thing conjoined twins Abigail and Brittany Hensel did was to survive after doctors told their parents they wouldn't last more than a few hours after being born.
Now 22-years-old the twins have not only proved doctors wrong they have astonished them with their development into darling children, typical teenagers and, lately, beautiful young adults.
Their new reality show Abby and Brittany chronicles the next part of their journey as the girls take the leap from students to young professionals via a summer travelling through Europe with their friends.
The girls first captivated the world in 1996 when they appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show and the cover of Life Magazine.
Since then they have lived a quiet, normal life with their family in Minnesota, keeping away from the media spotlight until they agreed to appear on a documentary for TLC when they turned 16.
When the Hensel twins were born on March 7, 1990, in Minnesota in the United States, doctors warned their parents Patty, a registered nurse, and Mike, a carpenter and landscaper, that they were unlikely to survive the night.
But that prediction was to prove wildy wrong.
When growing up, they, like many twins, had very different personalities and tastes.
Abigail, the feisty, stubborn one, liked orange juice for breakfast, while Brittany, the joker of the family, would only touch milk.
They enjoyed sports such as bowling, volleyball, cycling, softball and swimming.
And on their 16th birthday they passed their driving test, a mind-boggling feat of teamwork with each twin using one arm to control the steering wheel.
Speaking at the time, their mother Patty, a registered nurse, conceded that could have been a problem.
'I don't know what would happen if they got pulled over for speeding. Would they each get a ticket or just Abby because it's her foot on the accelerator?'
Speaking back then, Brittany said: 'Believe me, we are totally different people.'
It has not been unknown, however, for the twins to go out in a specially made top with two different necklines - to reflect their unique tastes - and leggings with each leg a contrasting colour and a different shoe on each foot.
Just one set of twins in every 40,000 is born connected in some way to each other and only 1 per cent of those survive beyond the first year.
HENSEL GIRLS ARE RAREST FORM OF CONJOINED TWINS
They would each have just one arm and one leg and be confined to a wheelchair.
Patty had no idea she was carrying twins until the birth at the local hospital where she worked
'The paediatrician said my babies were together but they had two heads,' she recalled in 2006. 'It was blunt, but completely accurate.
'From the first time we saw them, we thought they were beautiful.
'I kissed Abigail and then Brittany and gave them a hug. It's like that every time I pick them up from school, two kisses and one hug for the most beautiful children in the world.'
Both Mike and Patty's families have lived in a small midwestern farming community of 300 people for generations and it is here where they have brought up the twins and younger brother Dakota, 20, and sister Morgan, 18, away from the media spotlight.
Although Brittany is more susceptible to colds and has twice suffered pneumonia, the twins have remained in good health despite a series of operations.
In infancy, a third undeveloped arm was removed from their chest and aged 12 they underwent surgery to correct scoliosis - curvature of the spine - and expand their chest cavity to prevent future breathing difficulties.
They attended a private church school and are popular with their friends, who treat them no differently from anyone else. Only when the family ventures outside this close-knit community does the curiosity of strangers have the potential to wound.
Once Patty heard a child at a swimming pool ask his mother if she had seen the little girl with two heads. 'We have talked about that with Abigail and Brittany,' she said.
'When children ask the girls if they have two heads, they say they don't but that each has their own head. That's what we have encouraged them to do, to develop their own individuality as much as possible.'
That has meant buying two seats every time they go to the cinema - even though only one will be used - separate meals and two different birthday cakes with candles each year. If one of the twins misbehaves, Patty and Mike are careful to scold the individual responsible - even if the other has been dragged unavoidably into the misdeed.
Yet, while the twins have developed their own tastes in food, drink, clothes and separate personalities, their body works as one - although they have different urges to eat and sleep.
When they eat, they have separate plates. One of them holds the fork and the other the knife to cut the food, and then take turns to put the meal in each other's mouth.
One twin will scratch an itch the other cannot reach or hold her hand still so the other can count during a maths lesson and when Brittany was ill with pneumonia and couldn't keep the medicine down, Abigail volunteered to take it in the hope of making her twin better.
Only once have the twins talked about separation - in childhood - when Abigail became bored and restless after Brittany fell ill with pneumonia and was confined to bed.
She started to suggest being separated from her sister, but when Brittany began to cry Abigail reassured her that everything was fine and that they'd never be parted.
Despite their optimism, devotion to each other and apparent happiness, what of the inevitable challenges they will face in life? It is not clear if either has yet, but will they fall in love and with whom?
Three years ago, unconfirmed reports claimed Brittany was engaged, but no details were given about the fiance.
What if one of the twins detests the boy the other one likes? Will they have children - a choice they must both make in tandem because they share one reproductive system?
There is no medical reason why they shouldn't be able to have children and they have in the past said they would like to start a family.
Their father Mike certainly believes the girls will at the very least get married one day.
7 Men Arrested for Killing a 7Year-old girl in Ebonyi State
The victim was allegedly killed for ritual purposes on Sunday at Agubia in Ikwo Local Government Area of the state. The suspects had earlier kidnapped Ogboji for monetary gains, and then dismembered her body parts before dumping same in a cassava farm.
The State Police Command spokesperson, Sylvester Igbo, while confirming the arrest of the suspects, commended the community youth organisation known as Ebonyi Youth Assembly for their assistance towards the arrest of the suspects.
Igbo revealed that two of the suspects had already confessed to the crime, adding that the police had commenced full investigation to ascertain the motive behind the brutal killing of the deceased.
“What we have observed at the scene made us to attribute the killing to ritual killing and not kidnapping, because the corpse of the deceased was without two legs, hands and eyes,” he said.
“From the act, it is a ritual killing. Through police investigation, we have been able to arrest seven suspects, among whom two have confessed to the crime. One of them confessed that his mother was the spiritual mother of the girl when she was baptised.”

20 Years Old Girl Narrates How She Lured Kidnapped Politician With Sex
13 Chinese ladies Arrested for Prostitution
|
The
Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) on Friday in Abuja paraded 13 Chinese
nationals who were arrested on suspicion of engaging in prostitution in
the country.
NIS spokesman, Joachim Olumba, said the suspects were apprehended in Lagos following a tip off from an informant.
He
said the service received a report on the activities of some Chinese
nationals who connived with some Nigerians to traffic teenage girls into
the country under the pretext of offering them jobs in factories.
A
distress call from one of the victims prompted the immigration service
to carry out a raid on some operational locations of some of the
syndicates.
“Having
gathered intelligence information, operatives of the Nigeria
Immigration Service swooped on the operational locations of the
syndicates at No. 18, 24 and 26B Emena Crescent, Ikeja, Lagos,” he said,
“During the operations a total number of 13 Chinese nationals made up
of 11 females and two males were arrested.”
He
said preliminary investigation confirmed that most of the women were
sponsored into the country by some “criminal human traffickers who are
currently at large”.
Olumba,
however, expressed the regret that the informant who made the distress
call that led to the investigation and arrest of the suspects, had yet
to be rescued because she did not give a clear description of her
location in Lagos.
“It
is unfortunate that we have not been able to rescue the lady who called
us, because she only provided the number of the house where she is
being held, without the name of the street. We want to use this
opportunity to solicit for information from the public that will lead to
the arrest of the perpetrators of this ignoble business and rescue of
our informant,” Olumba said.
In
her statement, the NIS Arresting Officer, Chinwe Obi, said the Chinese
Embassy in Abuja was in touch with the suspects, and that arrangements
were being made to ease them out of the country.
One of the victims, Lu Yui Suan, however, denied allegations that they were arrested for prostitution.
Lu Yui, who spoke through an interpreter, said she came into the country in June, on the invitation of a friend.

Celebrity Single Moms

This beautiful script interpreter is without doubt a delight to watch anytime; the news of her separation from her movie actor cum producer husband raised some dust which is gradually subsiding, and it is a common knowledge that she has had a baby with another man before she decided to settle down with Saheed whom she adopted his name. Sources claimed her union with Saheed was an after-thought as she had initially declined the actor’s advances, preferring a London-based lover who she had a child for before coming back for Saheed. It was even alleged that they were not officially married but that she decided to adopt his name so as to cover the mistake of not having proper wedding before making babies together. The union which has since broken down completely over issues relating to infidelity has returned her to the status of single parentNigerian celebrity.
