The anglican church of Trinity in Poo village, Lamila parish in Kijomoro Sub-county, has on Saturday 29-7-2023 held first ever record breaking mass wedding of 9 families wedded by 9 clergies in the history of Protestant (Anglican) church in Maracha district and WestNile region.


However, what has made the wedding ceremony more unique and historical is that, out of the 9 families that wedded, the youngest couple was in their 45 years of age and the rest of the 8 couples are in 50s to 80s of their age.


A local NGO, Aseru Maracha Foundation who sent a representative to give some financial gift to the  9 wedded couples, advised the Brides and Bridegrooms to always remain supportive and respectful to each other because this journey they have embarked on is not an easy journey.


Preacher at the ceremony, Rev Toko Charles said, he has ever conducted this kind of Anglican mass wedding in Yivu sub-county and Maracha town council, where there were 7  families.


He urged the Christians to embrace this kind of wedding because it is less costly.


The organizing Chairperson for the mass wedding Mr James Yiki stated that, it was not easy for him at the beginning to organise these 9 families because some of them wanted to give up due to financial challenges.

To avoid issues of couples breaking up after weddings, Mr Yiki said, the clergies have offered 10 times retreat for orientation and counseling to these newly wedded couples.


The 9 couples who weded are;

  1. Aguta Bileti Geoffrey and Pakaru Josephine.


  1. Aguta Jackson and Asibazuyo Jennifer.


  1. Adukule Enock and Tina Night.


  1. Alioni Rhonny and Bako Rose.


  1. Amandu Zakayo and Driciru Jannety.


  1. Asizua Emmanuel Nyai and Opiru Jane.


  1. Drudra John and Odaru Ruth.


  1. Nyakuni Erinesty and Aguta Helina.

  1. Rev. Can. George Andima, parish priest Otravu.


  1. Rev Luke Aluma, parish priest Koyi.

Surgeons fined $60,000 and banned permanently from profession after billionaire died during penis enlargement surgery.

Surgeons have been banned from practicing plastic surgery after a billionaire patient died during a penis enlargement procedure. Belgian-Israeli diamond dealer Ehud Arye Laniado, 65, died of a heart attack during the procedure to enlarge his penis at the Saint-Honore-Ponthieu aesthetic clinic in Paris. His star surgeon, known as Guy H, was known for operating on wealthy clients and he treated Ehud two to four times a year in procedures costing tens of thousands of euros. Wealthy Omega Diamonds owner Ehud would be operated on out of office hours. He had been having injections into his penis to make it appear larger.

A Paris court on Wednesday suspended Guy H's licence and sentenced him to 15 months behind bars. His surgeon, who had been...
