Ini Edo’s marriage crashes & Husband collects her bride price

This is so touching and i must say its sad. Well

According to blogger Stella of SDK:

She exclusively reported that Ini Edo‘s marriage to her hubby Phillip has crashed. The Marriage which was contracted in November 2008 is whispered to have been hopping on one leg before finally crashing over five weeks ago.
A close friend of the actress squealed that the marriage broke down due to very strong allegations of ‘serial cheating with evidence’ but that the couple who are pretending to still be in talking terms might cite irreconcilable differences.
My source alleges that Phillips Ehiagwina demanded to have back the bride price he paid to marry Ini Edo and his wishes were granted by her people.
Ini Edo and Phillips got married in an American ceremony and the whispers also indicate that part of the union may have also been dissolved.
Efforts to contact Mr Ehiagwina to find out why he collected back the bride price he paid on our darling actress met a brick wall as his American and Nigerian phones were switched off

There are also strong whispers that a group of ladies accosted actress Ini Edo recently and beat the living daylights out of her. The whisperers say that the reason is that ”One of the girls who is dating a Lekki big boy named Lewa alleges that Ini has been dating her boyfriend for the past 3 years and it was time to stop and face her marriage but unfortunately Ini’s marriage was already over by the time they accosted her……”

Ready for your personal Robot?

City life in 2030: Here's what to expect

The robotic revolution has already started, but the ultimate dream of robot makers worldwide is to fill the planet with anthropomorphic robots -- the stuff of science fiction movies. 

They will take on the role of personal assistants, both at home -- to help with chores, for example -- and in public spaces, to offer guidance to tourists or lend a hand with your shopping. 

Pictured above is the REEM robot, built by Spain's PAL Robotics. It is already available, and it can give an idea of what's to come in the more distant future. 

It has a touch screen to display information and can sustain basic conversations, responding to inquiries in spaces such as shopping malls, museums, and airports.
