ISLAMABAD — An American woman, her Canadian husband and their three young children have been released after years of being held captive by a network with ties to the Taliban, US and Pakistani officials said Thursday. US officials say Pakistan secured the release of Caitlan Coleman of Stewartstown, Pennsylvania, and her husband, Canadian Joshua Boyle, who were abducted five years ago while traveling in Afghanistan and had been held by the Haqqani network in Pakistan.

Motivational speaker, Funke Adejumo. Source: Instagram. Cool FM presenter Daddy Freeze has condemned motivational speaker Funke Adejumo over her last viral sermon, where she said any woman who is housewife is a colossal failure. Freeze opted to represent a married woman by demanding an apology from Adejumo to all  women for her statement. He wrote: The truth is the woman made a huge mess of a what could have been a great sermon, with her arrogance and condescending tone. You shouldn't set standards that could lead women into depression. I'm currently counseling a lady who was pushed into marriage at 19 by her family, simply because she was an orphan. What achievement could she possibly boast of at 19? How will this sermon make her feel? The lady is already depressed, what if the sermon makes her suicidal? Her choice of the financial example of N1 million, whether figurative or not, is appalling. There are many wonderful wives who are 'assets' to their husbands but still...
