A Sh20 million (N63 million) jackpot winner refused to welcome back his estranged wife who had returned to him after she heard of his extraordinary luck.

Mr Joseph Onywera, 62, a farmer in Kapiyo in Kano, Kisumu county, Kenya, won the colossal amount early June from Betway Company after he correctly predicted the outcome of 13 football matches in the English Premier League.

The gambling addict has been living with his son. His first wife, Truphena, died in 1996. The second wife, Ms Anyango, left him in 2010 following a disagreement over money.

But hardly a month after he hit the jackpot, she came back knocking.

Blog reader's girlfriend started crying during sex. What does that mean?

Hello, I need a serious advice on this matter. Today my girlfriend started crying during sex. 

We've been together for like 3 months and it has been an intimate relationship. You know what I mean.

I must confess though. I hate having sex with condoms. Since we are exclusive, I talked to my girl about it after the first day we used a condom and she agreed we can skip them after her menstrual period - when she is safe. And since then, we have been enjoying ourselves bareback. It feels really good. I always ask her as well if I'm hurting her and if
she is okay while we have sex. She always nods showing her approval.

 I am glad that Father Mbaka of the Catholic Church has finally seen the light and that he has denounced the Buhari regime. This coming from a man that once supported the President vigorously, even when members of his own flock and faith were being slaughtered, marginalised and humiliated, is cheery news.
Yet there are still many more Church leaders that supported the Buhari government, that sold their souls to the devil and that need to follow Mbaka's example and recant.
