BY/Keto obi Luck has ran out on an alleged Nigerian couple after they were arrested and charged with stealing thousands of dollars from owners of a US baseball team. A Nigerian couple identified as Madoussou Odebode and her husband, Oluwatomiwa Odebode have been arrested and charged by Harris County authorities in Florida for allegedly stealing over $38,000 from one of the owners of the Tampa Bay Rays baseball team.

The complex scheme sounds like something out of a James Bond film with funds being manipulated not just across state lines but with inte...

Recent studies have revealed that the popular indecent dance style, ‘One Corner’, is a dance first sighted among animals. A research group, hypothesis.com, after thorough library research discovered that the so-called ‘One Corner’ dance is popular among animals as pictures revealed, just that the animals could not speak to say the dance step is actually ‘One Corner’.
