Okada rider dies in Ekiti after being swept away by flood

-
A commercial motorcyclist died after he was swept away by flood following a heavy downpour on Monday morning, July 3, in Ado Ekiti. Goodwill, who posted the photo wrote:

"It saddens my heart seeing this unfortunate & ugly incident happening in my beloved State. This young dude was a victim of the heavy downpour that occurred in Ado Ekiti yesterday. His lifeless body was later found behind Pathfinder Hotel, Iworoko road, Ado Ekiti. Ekiti State. May God continually bestow His protection and mercy upon us. Amen"
According to eyewitness reports, the deceased was said to have braved the fast-flowing water but lost control in the Elemi Channel at Ayewa garage area of Adebayo.
The victim had ignored warnings and pleas by motorists and other commercial motorcyclists, who had earlier failed in their attempt to cross the channel, and had decided to wait for the water to recede.
The witnesses also alleged that the okada rider had two passengers, but that they had chosen not to go with him in spite of his insistence that he knew how best to wade through the water.

It was gathered that the onlookers were helpless when he lost control, and that they had watched helplessly from afar as he was overwhelmed by the flood.
The body has been deposited at a mortuary.

Nollwood actress, Ini Edo, has opened up on her marriage, saying she has no regret breaking up with her husband of six years.  Ini Edo got married to an American-based Nigerian businessman, Phillip in 2008. She walked out of the marriage in September, 2014, following accusations of domestic violence and cheating. Speaking on ‘Rubbing Minds’ a Channel Television programme, the actress cited irresolvable differences and incompatibility as the major reasons for the crash of her marriage.  Ini Edo said that closeness should have, may be, saved her marriage since her former husband was in America and she in Nigeria. According to her, “May be being together would have helped keep us together. Because it would enable us study and understand each other more. May be it would have helped but I’m not sure.” Asked if her estranged husband was comfortable with her kind of job, she said,  “He met me an actress and I believe he was okay with that.
