Speaking further, OAP Do2dtun said that it is not by force to open a radio station as he called on the popular radio station Soundcity to pay their staff the alleged eight months of unpaid salaries.

He wrote; “It’s not by force to open a radio station. Owing your staffs for 8 months is very cruel and inhumane. You don’t need a soothsayer to tell you this.

My friends and colleagues at Soundcity, how do you guys cope? No salary for 8 months ? Mehn that’s crazy!!!!.R”

‘I have cried too many tears’, Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle mourns her dog

Published

The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle is in a mourning mood following the death of her rescue dog named Guy.

She shared a video collage on Instagram on Tuesday to announce the passing of the dog with a lengthy tribute.

In the tribute, she wrote about how she rescued Guy and how much it meant to her.

It reads: “In Memory of Guy

“In 2015, I adopted a beagle from a dog rescue in Canada. He had been at a kill shelter in Kentucky and given a few days to live. I swooped him up….and fell in love.

“They referred to him as ‘the little guy’ because he was so small and frail, so I named him ‘Guy’. And he was the best guy any girl could have asked for.

“If you followed me on instagram back in the day, you saw a lot of him – and on The Tig too. He was with me at Suits, when I got engaged, (and then married), when I became a mom….he was with me for everything: the quiet, the chaos, the calm, the comfort.

“He endured a terrible accident shortly before I moved to the UK which had him undergoing surgeries for several months and unable to leave the clinic. Doctors said he would never walk again, but Dr Noel Fitzpatrick said he could do it. H and I would drive late at night, after hours, to see Guy as he recovered in Surrey for months on end.

“I will always be grateful to Noel and his team, the team at Queen West Animal Hospital in TO, our vets now, and my friends and community: Thank you for loving him so.

“Because many of you will now see Guy in this new series, I hope you’ll come to understand why I am so devastated by his loss. I think you may fall a little bit in love too.

“I have cried too many tears to count – the type of tears that make you get in the shower with the absurd hope that the running water on your face will somehow make you not feel them, or pretend they’re not there. But they are. And that’s okay too.

“Thank you for so many years of unconditional love, my sweet Guy. You filled my life in ways you’ll never know.

“As ever, Meghan.”

In a lengthy statement, the family celebrated Peace’s “dynamic personality, generosity, and passion for mentoring others”.

They noted that her memories continue to inspire and uplift them, and that her legacy and contributions to society will live on.

“Two years have passed since your passage to eternal glory, but the memories of your vibrant life and legacy continue to inspire and uplift us all. Your dynamic personality, generosity, and passion for mentoring others left an indelible mark on countless lives,” the statement reads in part.

“Your commitment to youth development and empowerment was evident in the various initiatives you supported and championed. In the church, your dedication and service were a testament to your strong faith and values.

“Your love for God and humanity shone brightly, inspiring others to follow in your footsteps. To our mother, your passing has left a gaping hole that can never be filled. She remembers and misses you daily, recounting memories of her time with you and the profound positive impact you had on her life and the lives of our entire family.

“As the founder and CEO of the Africa Movie Academy Awards and former president of the Association of Film Producers of Nigeria, your impact on the film industry is immeasurable.

“As we remember you today, we celebrate your life, your achievements, and recall the beautiful times spent together, your acute sense of responsibility, your concern for the wellbeing of the family and especially your infectious sense of humour.

“Your legacy lives on through the countless lives you touched, and we will continue to honor your memory by keeping your spirit alive in our hearts.
Rest in peace, dear sister. Your memory will forever be a blessing to us.

“May God continue to comfort and strengthen our family, especially our mother, as we cherish memories of our times together. We thank God that you continue to rest in the light of His consciousness.”
