‘I am the best prison cleaner,’ changed Hushpuppi begs the judge to reduce his sentence.

Hushpuppi is set to be sentenced on September 21st 2022. Ahead of his sentencing, the Nigerian socialite has appealed to the United States Judge, Otis Wright, to temper justice with mercy.

Hushpuppi who has been arrested for scamming his American victims is pleading with the U.S Court to hand him a lighter jail term, saying that he has become a changed person after scoring high in cleaning activities whilst in custody.In Hushpuppi’s court records, his memorandum countering the sentencing recommendations of prosecutors shows he performed well and related well with other inmates.

According to gazettengr.com, “his report card for the Central Valley workshop for prisoners showed the Internet fraudster put up “very good” in attitude, quality of work, dependability and productivity between July 2021 when he enrolled and November 2021 when he completed work“. 

In the memorandum submitted on September 5, Hushpuppi’s lawyer, Louis Shapiro, added that his client “is currently working within his prison cleaning windows and showers—for which he has received great personal evaluations“.

The prosecution and defence have been arguing over the appropriate sentencing for Hushpuppi whose real name is Ramon Olorunwa Abbas.

While the prosecution led by assistant U.S. attorney Khaldoun Shobaki prays the court to jail Hushpuppi for 11 years and $2.2 million in restitution and fines, Mr Shapiro argued that his client had become a changed person in prison and should be handed a lighter sentence of about two years in prison. 

Mr Shapiro also said Hushpuppi has three minor children in London, U.S. and Dubai to care for, as well as his ailing parents in Nigeria. The Judge, Mr Wright, is scheduled to hear the sentencing arguments of the prosecution and defence on September 21 before delivering his judgement in the matter. 

Hushpuppi was arrested in Dubai in June 2020 and transferred to a prison in the U.S where he is facing trial.

Shatta Wale breaks down in tears and kneels to apologise to Mahama

"Shatta Wale approached me and said, 'My father, I need you to do me a favour. I said certain things to former President Mahama, and I feel terrible about approaching him. I took his hand and marched him there. It happened on the plane in public, and I have video footage that I will post. Dr. Tetteh claimed he was perplexed when Shatta Wale burst into tears and fell to his knees when he was led to Mahama's seat. He said that Shatta apologised passionately to the former President for criticising him during one of his unjustifiable tantrums some years ago. His disrespect disrupted the bond he had developed with Mr. Mahama during his campaign trip, where Shatta entertained the crowd.

Dr Lawrence Tetteh, the founder of Worldwide Miracle Outreach, has described a remarkable interaction on a plane between former President John Mahama and dancehall King Shatta Wale.

Dr Lawrence Tetteh said over the weekend that he and the two boarded the same airline to London and were seated close together.

According to him, Shatta Wale approached him and asked him to escort him to John Mahama’s aisle for a quick rendezvous, which he consented to because it was mutual between the two sides.

Nonetheless, in an interview with GTV, Dr Lawrence stated that Mr. Mahama completely accepted the apology and even made light of the issue.

He did, however, advise him to be on his best behaviour as a role model.

Dr Tetteh stated that Shatta demonstrated humility by accepting his error and promising not to repeat his behaviour.

Celestine Donkor comments about reports of getting weight loss surgery

According to her study, physicians typically prescribe such procedures based on health evaluations, especially if one's life is in danger owing to weight-related difficulties. However, in her instance, Celestine stated that she is quite fit and has never suffered high blood pressure or other abnormalities linked with being plus size, so surgery is not a possibility for her at this time, unless advised. "I am plus-sized yet highly active. In a marathon, I might even outperform a lot of slender folks. The obesity is in my genes; my family is large. I've never had high blood pressure or anything. I get frequent check-ups, drink enough of water, and get adequate rest, so I'm in good health."

Celestine Donkor, a gospel performer, has spoken out about claims that she is considering weight loss surgery.

Celestine stressed that she has not made a decision, thus “I wouldn’t say no and I wouldn’t say yes.”

Recognising the cultural pressure to maintain a specific image, particularly as an artist, the singer stated that she has weighed the health risks of body-altering operations.

Doreen Avio said in an interview with Hitz FM’s Daybreak Hitz that her phobia of knives is another barrier keeping her from undergoing surgery.

Celestine said that she had enough incisions on her body from her three caesarean sections during delivery.

In light of this, she prefers dieting and other less dangerous options such as exercise and intermittent fasting.

Celestine chose to invest in her soul above her body, despite receiving nearly GH¢50,000 for surgery.

“I am confident that if I have GH¢40,000 or GH¢50,000 to work on this body, I will invest in my soul.” This body will expire, no matter how thin and well-carved it is.
The useless thing after death is the human body; even animal bodies have value since we utilise them as sustenance, but for people, the corpse is no longer worthy of being discarded.”

Celestine Donkor warned her admirers to embrace her for who she is, as she will not endanger her life to adhere to conventional notions of what a perfect woman should look like.
