🇺🇸🇬🇭JUST IN: 24-year-old Ghanaian Joseph Owusu has reportedly been found dead at a dumpsite in the Bronx, New York, about two weeks after he was reported missing.
He was a dedicated organist and a beloved member of the Ghana United Methodist Church in the Bronx.
Nobody wants to hear this because it sounds like cope but Ilia Topuria literally lived five years straight with nothing but rocket fuel success. He effortlessly knocks out three all time great champions and we are all kind of in awe of the guy, meanwhile he is getting famous as fuck and has a beautiful family and the company has anointed him their undeniable breakout superstar. Then, a month after winning his second belt, his wife and the mother of his daughter, a woman he most likely loves and trusts, attempts to destroy his life for reasons unknown, sending him into a brutal divorce and custody battle.
Have you guys never had a devastating breakup? Take that pain and multiply it by the fear of having your kids taken away (mind you this all took place in Spain, one of the most libtard countries on Earth and his wife was claiming spousal abuse with a very low evidentiary threshold.)
Why did he lose? He didn’t want to be there. He was going through the motions, trying to act as if everything was normal, but it wasn’t. His head was fucked, he was off, he wanted to get the quick KO to rebuild his confidence, and he got fucked up badly. Mind you, he’s so good that he still nearly managed the finish. It was an extremely devastating image, none of us really thought he could lose because he’d already made guys far superior to Justin look average. But that’s exactly when things go wrong.
Bad idea to write him off, because in reality a massive comedown like this is exactly the kind of thing truly gifted people come back from to become legends and myth.
Dustin and Justin avoided any real contenders for 5 years and all they had to do to get a title shot was beat a random ranked bum like bsd or paddy.
Volk deserves it.Give it to him.
He drove his wife to one of the best hospitals in America for a planned caesarean. A routine one. Her second.
Charles Johnson watched her blood collect in a catheter bag for ten hours while he asked for help.
Kira Johnson died at 2:22am.
Cedars-Sinai, Los Angeles, 12th April 2016. Kira Johnson was 39. She spoke five languages, raced cars, ran marathons. The caesarean was scheduled. Everything about it was routine.
Her son Langston was delivered at midday.
By the afternoon her husband could see blood in her catheter. He told a nurse. He was told they would check.
He asked again. And again. A CT scan was ordered and then not performed. He has described being told, at one point, that his wife was simply not a priority right now.
He stood in a corridor for ten hours asking people to look at his wife.
They took her back to theatre just after midnight. There were three litres of blood in her abdomen. She died shortly after.
Her son Langston was twelve hours old.
Charles Johnson has spent the decade since as one of the most effective advocates in American maternal health. He founded 4Kira4Moms. He has testified before Congress. The federal Black maternal health legislation introduced in recent years carries work he pushed for.
He talks about one thing more than any other, and it is not the medicine.
It is the ten hours. He was standing right there, in the building, awake, articulate, asking. And it made no difference at all.
New York City, wetin dey sup? It was a joy to commemorate 34 years of the Nigerian Day Parade alongside the many Nigerian New Yorkers who fill our city with life.
From the entrepreneurs whose businesses strengthen our neighborhoods, to the sounds of Afrobeats pouring out of graduation parties in Southeast Queens, and the aroma of Agege bread calling out to passersby in Brooklyn — the impact of Nigerian New Yorkers is felt across the five boroughs.
Our city is richer in culture, stronger in community, and more vibrant because of your contributions.
