Best Man Steals Bride From Groom After Confessing Love In His Wedding Speech

Published

There’s love, then marriage, and now the best man is attempting to snare the bride from the groom during the wedding?

Desiree White, 32, finally divorced her husband and married Bryant, a lifetime friend and best man at her wedding, after he professed his undying love for her while toasting her nuptials to his then-best friend.

“I remember falling in love with Desiree the first time I saw her,” he said. She had a hold on me. I knew she had to be mine. White, of Illinois, said of Bryant’s best man’s speech during her 2010 wedding to Kennedy News and Media, “I thought she was the most stunning girl I’d ever seen…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

“He described her as “the loveliest person I’ve ever met.” I’ve never met anyone like her. I assumed I’d have to find a way to get her back after learning she had a boyfriend, but then I met [White’s ex-husband] and we became friends,’ “She recalled something.

The identity of White’s former spouse is unclear.

Bryant shared his heart in front of them and their 200 wedding guests, but she and her ex sat slack-jawed next to each other.

“Then [Bryant] just said, ‘Love you both — congrats,’ and that was the end of it.” Her ears “turned scarlet” with humiliation after his admission, she continued. “Everyone was laughing — and then it became quiet,” White claimed, describing a sense of unease that swept the room.

And, because of their years-long friendship’s tight platonic character, she admittedly was “perplexed” by Bryant’s confession.

“Bryant and I met in class in high school,” White said to Kennedy News. “At the time, I had a boyfriend, and I wasn’t going to talk to anyone else about it.”

After she showed him a picture of her then-beau, Bryant recognized the kid as someone who shared the same lunch slot as him. The three formed a tight bond not long after.

“Because they were lads, Bryant and my ex-husband were great friends and did a lot together.” “They did everything together,” White said, underlining that during their early years together, she had no romantic feelings for her now-husband.

“‘Hey, what’s up?’ I said. He complimented me on my appearance. I’d never seen him gaze at me like that before.”

White went on to her wedding and wedded despite his ardent stare. Bryant, for his part, is said to have gotten intoxicated before publicly professing his love for her.

His unfettered unbosoming, however, did not end with his best man’s speech.

White danced with him later that evening, as her new husband cut a rug with her maid of honor. “Why didn’t you ever give me a chance?” White remembers saying to Bryant while boogying. I would’ve always looked after you.”

“I inquired as to what he meant, and he said, ‘Nothing.’ “I love you,” she said, “and I adore [White’s ex-husband].” “Then he fell silent.”

After her huge day of celebrations, a befuddled White remembered wishing she’d “misinterpreted” Bryant’s declaration of love and sought to brush it “under the carpet” in her mind.

She remembered thinking to herself at the moment, “I’m sure it was because he was so intoxicated and lonely.” “I knew he had girlfriends who weren’t working out up to this time, and he was kind of the third wheel.”

White’s friendship with Bryant took a surprising romantic turn less than a year later, when her marriage began to unravel due to her then-adoption husband’s of what she described as “a whole new lifestyle.”

“When [my ex and I] split up and divorced, I went through a period of melancholy and isolation.” She explained, “I really didn’t want to put in any effort for anything,” noting that Bryant provided her with emotional support through their split. “He’d invite me to eat with him or watch a movie with him. He was attempting to assist me.”

Then, to her amazement, White revealed, “Bryant and I just kissed one day when we were hanging together.”

“It seemed to appear out of nowhere.” I didn’t stop him from kissing me, so I kissed him back,” she continued. “I was taken aback by how lovely the kiss was. It felt natural and pleasant.”

Shortly after White and Bryant discovered they were expecting their first child, the pair got hitched.

The pals became lovers almost quickly. She fell pregnant with their first son, Sawyer, who is now 9, within a year, and the pair married in 2012.

“‘I always wanted to marry you, and this isn’t because of the baby, but let’s start this family right,’ [Bryant] remarked. The white spilled out. “We’d always been friends, but when we got together [romantically], it was as if nothing was too difficult because we had each other.”

White, who is now a mother to her and Bryant’s four sons, described herself as “living the dream.”

“It’s a dream come true for us to be parents. Desiree, who is twenty years old, “wouldn’t think she could be a mother of four children,” she declared. “She had no idea what my life would be like now,” she said.

July 29 In Nigerian History: Aguiyi-Ironsi And Fajuyi Assassinated In Ibadan

Published

Aguiyi-Ironsi (L) and Adekunle Fajuyi (R)

Nigeria has seen the rise and fall of many military regimes since she became a sovereign state in 1960 and this, at every turn, has altered the direction of the country.

A second coup since independence which happened on July 29, 1966, would see to the brutal death of Nigeria’s Supreme Commander, General J.T.C Aguiyi-Ironsi (the nation’s 1st military head of state) and his friend, Lieutenant Colonel Francis Adekunle Fajuyi, who was the sitting and 1st Military Governor of the Western Region…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Aguiyi-Ironsi was a guest at the Government House, Ibadan, as he came to hold a meeting with traditional rulers in the Western region. Ironsi arrived Ibadan the previous day and unknowingly, he met his death during the counter-coup which is generally believed to be a retaliation to the January 15th 1966 coup in which prominent Northerners in power were killed.

The Northerners were believed to hold a grudge since the first coup as they lost leaders including Alhaji Abubakar Tafawa Balewa (Nigerian Prime Minister) and Sir Ahmadu Bello (Sardauna of Sokoto and Premier of the Northern Region). They tagged it an ‘Igbo Coup’ as no Eastern casualty was recorded in both the military and public service as even the West lost Chief Samuel Ladoke Akintola in the coup.

This counter-coup of July 29, 1966, led by General Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma was tagged the bloodiest coup by many in the history of Nigeria. Ironsi and Fajuyi’s death which still remains a controversial debate among historians because how they were killed isn’t clear but both bodies were found in a bush in outskirts of Ibadan. Read a comprehensive account of how Aguiyi-Ironsi was killed here.

Aside from the Head of State and Western Military governor, many other casualties were recorded in the army and most killed or maimed were Easterners, particularly Igbos. This will be one of the many reasons the country would go into a civil war the following year as the Eastern region tried seceding.

54 years after, we remember this gruesome act done in the Brown Roof City and how much has happened or changed since then.

This Is Why An American Magazine Labelled Sani Abacha as “Thug of the Year” In 1995

Published

on

By

General Sani Abacha is perhaps Nigeria’s most enigmatic head of state. He reigned from 1993 until his death in 1998. General Abacha was born in Kano state, northern Nigeria on September 20, 1943. He hails from Kanuri in Borno state.

He passed out of the Nigerian Military Training Centre in Kaduna where he proceeded to Mons Officer Cadet School in Aldershot, England before being commissioned as a 2nd lieutenant in 1963.

He is held by some as Nigeria’s most successful coup plotter. When he was still a Second Lieutenant with the 3rd Battalion in Kaduna, he took part in the July 1966 Nigerian counter-coup from the conceptual stage. He could well have been a participant in the Lagos or Abeokuta phases of the coup the previous January as well…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Abacha fought for Nigeria in the country’s civil war against Biafran secessionists continuing to rise through the army ranks.

He was instrumental in the 1983 Nigerian coup d’état which brought General Muhammadu Buhari to power as well as the August 1985 coup which removed him from power. He announced the coup which removed the government of Shehu Shagari.

When General Ibrahim Babangida was named President of Nigeria in 1985, Abacha was named Chief of Army Staff. He was appointed Minister of Defence in 1990. With Babangida’s resignation, an interim government headed by civilian President, Ernest Shonekan was formed.

Sani Abacha became the first Nigerian soldier to attain the rank of a full General without skipping a single rank in 1993. In the same year, he moved for the ultimate.

Shonekan resigned and transferred power to Sani Abacha in a move widely believed to be another bloodless coup. In September 1994, he issued a decree that placed his government above the jurisdiction of the courts, effectively giving him absolute power. Another decree gave him the right to detain anyone for up to three months without trial.

General Sani Abacha

Abacha is noted for helping restore peace and democracy to Sierra Leone and Liberia after the civil wars.

On his administration of the Nigerian state proper, he established The Petroleum Trust Fund aimed to address major economic issues facing the country at the time. Between 25-100km of urban road in major cities such as Kano, Gusau, Benin, Funtua, Zaria, Enugu, Kaduna, Aba, Lagos, Lokoja, and Port Harcourt was planned to be constructed each. A N27.3bn contract was awarded for road rehabilitation in the first quarter of 1996.

There was a restructuring of major insurance companies that supported SMEs across the entire country.

Abacha mandated the PTF to publicise its accounts as it was the second-largest public corporation at the time. In 1997, the account of PTF showed that it disbursed N24.3bn on roads, N21.2bn on security, N7.8bn on health, and N3bn on other projects. Other disbursements include N2.2bn on water supply, N936m on food supply and N476m on education. It realized a total of N1.049bn from various investment activities.

It’s curious the sums which emerged after his death that he stashed in overseas accounts as the Abacha administration became the first to record unprecedented economic achievements overseeing an increase in the country’s foreign exchange reserves from $494 million in 1993 to $9.6 billion by the middle of 1997.

He also reduced the external debt of Nigeria from $36 billion in 1993 to $27 billion by 1997. His Petroleum (Special) Trust Fund is also hailed for infrastructural projects and interventionist programmes in education, water and health.

His wife is credited with setting up the National Hospital in Abuja viewed as Nigeria’s foremost national hospital, which was initially set up as a hospital for women and children before its upgrade.

Nonetheless, Abacha was ruthless with groups he considered hostile to his administration between 1993 and 1998. There was a crackdown on the civil rights groups, media and pro-democracy groups.

It was also under him that Nigeria became a perpetual importer of petroleum products as the refineries packed up. The emergence of the ‘foul fuel’ which damaged car engines and released a repugnant smell was in his time.

General Sani Abacha earned the title ‘Thug of the Year’ from Time magazine in 1995 after the execution of Ken Saro-Wiwa. Abacha developed the habit of working only at night. Availing himself to be seen publicly rarely while being averse to granting interviews.

The events of his death on June 8, 1998, at the presidential villa in Abuja are murky and while the official account is that he suffered a heart attack, other accounts say he was in the company of two Indian sex workers flown in from Dubai when he died. He was buried on the same day, according to Muslim tradition, without an autopsy. This fueled speculation that he may have been murdered by political rivals via poison.

Foreign diplomats, including United States Intelligence analysts, believed that his drink or fruit (apple) was laced with a poisonous substance while in the company of prostitutes.

Abacha was married to Maryam Abacha with whom he had had seven sons and three daughters.

In March 2014, the United States Department of Justice revealed that it had frozen more than $458 million believed to have been illegally obtained by Abacha and other corrupt officials.

On 7 August 2014, the United States Department of Justice announced the largest forfeiture in its history: the return of $480 million to the Nigerian government.

Stashed sums in other accounts have been discovered with the Nigerian government working to have the funds returned.
