Finding Hubby - How Tunde Leye And Foluso's Love Story Started With His Blog Series

Tunde Leye is one of my favorite writers, and it was his wildly popular online fiction series, Finding Hubby, that led me to his blog. I later got permission to republish it in full on Naijastories [here].

We've been in contact since then and finally met up while I was in Nigeria earlier this year, where he was very helpful during my book launch. I can still remember that day back in January when we were at a book event he put together and he whispered to me that he had met the love of his life and would be having his introduction in a few weeks.

Imagine my delight to find his love story with Foluso, his wife to be on BN this morning. Turns out, it was also the blog series that brought them together, and then twitter did the rest. Enjoy!

Hundreds Want Lewd Statue Of Satan With 'Full Erection' To Be Returned to Vancouver Park

Petitions have been started to reinstate the nine-foot-tall statue of Satan which was removed by Canadian officials from a Vancouver park. The anatomically-faithful red-skinned Satan is seen holding one hand up in a devil-horn salute, and comes complete with horns and a visibly prominent erection.

The controversial artwork was mysteriously erected on a pedestal at the park, and was removed to protect public interest, but now hundreds of people are demanding that the sexually explicit Satan statue be resurrected.

At least three Change.org petitions have sprung up calling for its return. Two petitions, which have collected more than 450 signatures combined, want the statue to be public art. One petition reads;

“By removing the statue of Penis Satan, you are taking from us our freedom of expression, restricting our sexuality, and stigmatizing our religious beliefs. Please return him immediately.”

Phaedra Parks, a lawyer and reality TV star of "Real Housewives of Atlanta" is reportedly upset with her jail-bound husband Apollo Nida for ignoring his children and spending much of his time drinking in clubs during his last weeks of freedom, and she has cut him off.

Phaedra's abandonment seems to have caused an incident with her husband just before he reported to prison yesterday to start an eight-year federal sentence for a fraud conviction. He had said back in July that the marriage was as good as over [here].

According to CNN, Apollo Nida "took a side trip to have a final word" with his wife and was still in their Atlanta home till after the noon deadline that U.S. marshals gave him to turn himself in to the minimum-security federal prison in Lexington, Kentucky.

Park's publicist, Steve Honig, who was at the home when Nida arrived Wednesday afternoon, told CNN "there was an incident" around 4 p.m., although he declined to give details on the record.
