Ngozi Nwosu Needs N6m to Survive

This will almost bring tears to your eyes. It brought tears to mine. Mr Seun Oloketuyi ( a journalist) went to visit the sick actress at home and she told him alot.  Read below;

Ngozi Nwosu is dying. She has lost it all; weight, strength and vigour but not her talent and deep sense of humour which she displayed during the over one and a half hours we spent together recently. Her emotions ranged from profound despair to occasional outbursts of laughter at her own jokes.
When i got a call from the organisers of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire to come play in the special Celebrity Edition last week, i did not know it was the cause of our Dear Ngozi i will be playing for until I got there. The Director revealed this to me few minutes before recording began as Ngozi sauntered in.

Eyewitness Give Graphic Details of How Yakowa's Helicopter Crashed

According to eyewitnesses Account:

The pilots appeared to have sighted a space at the swampy mangrove, few metres to the crash site, and made some efforts to land the ill-fated helicopter. In an unclear circumstance, the helicopter was said to have attempted going up again but in the process, its blades hit one of the palm trees surrounding the area and it came crashing. 

Yakowa’s mobile telephone was intact as it kept ringing after the crash. “When we brought the body out, we started hearing sounds of phone ringing from the left side of his pocket. We later discovered that calls were coming to the telephone and it could be from concerned persons but no one answered,” a security source, who pleaded anonymity, said.
