| Herdsman Commits Suicide in Benue over Death of 200 Cows Posted: 12 Nov 2017 04:21 AM PST  National Coordinator of Miyietti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, Benue chapter, Garus Gololo, who spoke to Punch on Saturday, said the deceased committed suicide after he lost 200 of his cows to hunger and lack of water. The Benue State Government had, on November 1, commenced the implementation of its anti-open grazing law, leading to some herdsmen relocating to other states. Gololo said since the commencement of the Benue anti-open grazing law, Fulani herdsmen had lost about 600 cows due to poor feeding and inaccessibility to water. He lamented that Abdulkadire, who had 22 children, cried and jumped into the river out of frustration when he discovered that 200 out of his 500 cows had died where they were camped, looking for a means to relocate from Benue State. The herdsmen's leader said, "The man killed himself simply because there is no place for his cows to graze. He was to relocate to the Awe LGA of Nasarawa State but information got to us that the area was occupied and no herdsman or herdsmen should cross over to the area again. "We are calling on the Federal Government to intervene to quickly make provision for herdsmen in Benue State before they lose everything they have." When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Moses Yamu, told Punch that the suicide had not been reported.  culled from Olu famous Mr Olumide's Blog |

| Native Doctors, Others Arrested For Killing Man With Charms Posted: 12 Nov 2017 04:21 AM PST  The incident occurred at Nkpologwu, a community in the Uzo-Uwani area of Enugu State. It was learnt that the alleged 'victim' of the juju spell, Thomas Ezeugwu, a native of the community, died mysteriously on October 6, 2017. Ezeugwu was not sick when he reportedly slumped and died. At his burial at Nkpologwu, three persons said to be relatives of the deceased, allegedly 'confessed' to the villagers that Ezeugwu died as a result of the juju which they invoked on a piece of land. The land had been a subject of dispute between them and the deceased. The three persons – Nicholas Okolo, Peter Ezugwu, and Augustine Ezeugwu – are also natives of Nkpologwu community but are all based in Onitsha, Anambra State. The trio reportedly disclosed that they brought the juju from Omor town in Anambra, and invoked it on the disputed land after the late Ezeugwu sold 20 plots without their permission. The alleged 'confession' was brought to the notice of the police, leading to the arrest of the trio. Spokesman for the Enugu State Police Command, Mr. Ebere Amaraizu, who confirmed the development, said the police had conducted further investigations into the development. He said, "On the strength of this information, operatives of the Enugu State Police Command swung into action by launching a full-scale investigation into the invocation of juju and murder against the suspects with a view to finding out the circumstances surrounding the sudden death of the deceased, amongst other things." Further investigations by the police led to the arrest of two native doctors, Obu Madubuike and Okafor Okoye, who are from Omor town in Anambra State. Meanwhile, Nicholas Okolo, Peter Ezugwu, Augustine Ezeugwu and the two native doctors were arraigned by the police before a Chief Magistrate Court at Adani, in the Uzo-Uwani area of Enugu, on November 3, 2017. They are facing a two counts of "conspiracy to commit felony to wit, trial by ordeal and planting and invocation of prohibited juju into a communal land situated at Ogba, Nkpologwu, which caused the death of Ezeugwu." The accused persons pleaded not guilty. The case was adjourned to December 1, 2017.  culled from Olu famous Mr Olumide's Blog |

| Ekwueme Flown Abroad For Treatment Posted: 12 Nov 2017 03:46 AM PST  Ekwueme was brought to the Akanu Ibiam Int'l Airport, Enugu with a National Orthopedic Hospital Enugu, SUV ambulance at about 7: 26 am and driven straight into the tarmac, where he was taken into a waiting air ambulance. The white Air Ambulance was said to have arrived the airport late Saturday evening and spent the night at the airport. He was transferred into the aircraft in the presence of his family members who escorted him to the airport. This was even as Vanguard's correspondent in Enugu, Mr. Dennis Agbo, who witnessed the event was attacked by soldiers, policemen and other airport security officials before they forcefully confiscated his camera, mobile phone and other working tools. Some of the securitymen who were attached to Ekwueme as well as his family members forcefully deleted all the pictures of the Air Ambulance from his camera and mobile phone which they seized, threatening to visit him personally, if the story of the incident was published. Agbo was briefly detained at one of the offices in the airport, where his mobile phone and empty camera were later returned to him. However, the aircraft took off from the tarmac at about 8: 37am with the family members waving to whish him a safe trip. Among the family members present, included Ekwueme's daughter Mrs. Onyemelukwe, who is a running mate to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, governorship candidate for Saturday's gubernatorial election in Anambra State. The family members had earlier declined comments on the former vice presidents illness, saying that they were not in the mood to speak to the press and did not need any media coverage.  culled from Olu famous Mr Olumide's Blog |
| I’m Free To Have Romantic Affair With Any Policewoman – IG Posted: 12 Nov 2017 03:21 AM PST  He challenged Senator Isa Misau, who has been attacking him left, right and center, and accused him of having an affair with a junior female colleague, to prove him otherwise. Idris stated this in a written defence he presented through his lawyer, Dr. Alex Iziyon (SAN), to the Senate ad-hoc committee investigating the allegations against him by the senator. The Punch obtained a copy of the written defence, in which the allegations against the IG were listed in six categories and responded to. He specifically asked the senator to cite a section of the law that prevents him from having romantic relationship with a policewoman. The police boss recalled that Misau's father married the lawmaker's mother while in service. On the allegation that Idris was having affairs with two female officers who also got questionable promotions as a result, Iziyon said, "This allegation is laughable and showed lack of understanding of the provisions of the Police Act and regulation." The Inspector-General of Police challenged the senator to cite the section of the Police Act and Regulation which forbids a police officer from marrying another police officer. He said, "Until he brings such section of the Police Act, it will amount to discussing the Inspector-General of Police's private life, which ordinarily should not have been entertained on the floor of the Senate. "It might be appropriate to remind the senator, whose mother retired from the police as an Inspector of Police and a father who retired from the police as an Assistant Inspector-General of Police, that the Inspector-General of Police is a Moslem and, according to Islamic Law, can marry four wives provided he can love them equally. "The senator also alleged that the Inspector-General of Police is in a relationship with one Corporal Amina whom he claimed was promoted from the rank of Corporal to an Assistant Superintendent of Police within 12 months. "This allegation is false and the senator is under obligation to give the full particulars of the female police (officer), where she is serving and her duty post. It is not possible to promote a corporal to the rank of an ASP except the officer has attended an in-service cadet course."  culled from Olu famous Mr Olumide's Blog |

| Meet the sex worker who slept with more than 10,000 men | Mr Olumide's Blog Posted: 12 Nov 2017 02:18 AM PST  After more than a decade in the adult industry, Australian woman Gwyneth Montenegro, 39, has detailed her experience and sexual wisdom in a new book, 10,000 men and counting. According to the UK Sn,Montenegro details how men prefer women with small boobs with a real feel - and in fact women of all shapes and sizes can be the centre of a man's attentions rather than the stereotypical glamour type. "A little-known secret in the punting world, is that there are quite a lot of men who will actively seek out escorts who are not the hottest of the hot women and go for someone who isn't as classically beautiful, because they feel shy and sometimes a little inadequate themselves," she said. But following her 12 years in the sex industry she said most men didn't turn to her for "hardcore kinky sex" but because they felt threatened in their own relationships. Gwyneth, 39, said a lot of her clients wanted to "feel masculine again".Gwyneth managed to sleep with 10,091 men and kept a journal recording every single one.  She said: "I journalised it - it sort of started as a bit of a joke, I thought I'd write down my experiences to help me cope with it. Her clients were described as mainly 'white collar businessmen' and although she added that around 90 per cent of them were married, Gwyneth claims she doesn't feel guilty as she 'probably saved their marriages'.  "It's simple - men do not cheat if they are getting all the sex they want in the marriage.She coyly admits that one of her best ever clients in terms of performance, was actually an 84-year-old man.She said she is glad to be away from the industry and now teaches women how to "understand" men and make the most of their relationships.  culled from MPNB Mr Olumide's Blog |
| Posted: 12 Nov 2017 01:13 AM PST  The girl's problem was discovered at a primary health centre in the state, four days after she was born in 2014. According to Sunday Sun, he was promptly referred to Kelsey Harrison Hospital in the state capital, for an urgent intervention, where a colostomy was created on the girl's stomach as a temporary measure before a definitive surgery would be carried out. Recalling the experience of the shocking discovery, mother of the girl, Veronica Egejuru said: "Few days after her delivery, we discovered that there was no opening in her anus through which she could pass faeces like any normal child. There was a specialist that came and suggested that an opening should be immediately created by the side of the stomach, because her stomach was swollen. The surgery was carried out, and she had been passing out through the opening. The doctor said the main surgery to create anus would be carried out after she would have attained two years, when the veins and nerves would still be very tender. Unfortunately, the time she reached two years, the family had no money to go for the surgery. Hear Veronica: "We were referred to Enugu State University Teaching Hospital. When she was almost three years, I heard that some people were applying to Niger Delta Development Commission for medical assistance. I applied and I followed it up. It was futile. So I applied again this year, for the sum of N2.5 million and the Managing Director approved it. I got information that the money had been paid. I did not get the alert because in my application, I used my account number. So, I started inquiring to know to whose account the money was paid."But, I was directed to go to Kelsey Harrison Hospital, where the money was paid. I went there; the woman that is in charge of the hospital, Mrs. Lolo, interviewed me from 2pm till 5pm. She was asking me a lot of questions. Later, she said I should write a letter to the hospital stating that I am the rightful person, who applied to NDDC for the financial support and I did."I added my account number and phone number in the letter and she promised that she would transfer the money. But after sometime, I did not receive the money, so I went back. When I got there, she told me that there was a letter from NDDC directing her not to pay the money to me. "She said she would give me N100,000 to go to Enugu to find out how the treatment would be carried out. I told her no, that the money was released for the treatment of the little girl. She said they would collect bank charges or half of the money." Continuing, she said: "Since then, she has been making me come and go, and refusing to see me. I am calling on well meaning Nigerians, government agencies and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to intervene and compel her to release the money, so that I can treat my child. However, the management of Kelsey Harrison Hospital when contacted denied the allegation that they seized the money meant for the treatment of Delight. The management added that Egejuru was only trying to divert the money approved for medical attention into her personal account for pleasure. Reacting on behalf of the hospital and the accused Mrs. Lolo, the Deputy Hospital Manager of International Trauma and Physical Care Centre, managers of Kelsey Harrison Hospital, Dr. Christian Uraka, noted that the money was transferred into the hospital's account and not into any private purse. Uraka stressed that the NDDC had also written to the hospital to perform a supervisory role in the usage of the money and report back to the commission two weeks after the completion of the operation. "The little girl was brought to this hospital based on a referral from a primary health centre in April, 2014, when she was just four days old.Speaking further, he said: "On August 1, the mother came back that the sum of N2.5 million was credited to our account and requested that we should transfer it back to her personal account. We said we had to hear from the NDDC, which made the transfer. "We treated Delight free in 2014 because the mother was a single lady. Egejuru is not even her mother. We have the facts, we do not know how she came into this matter. "In a tripartite meeting, NDDC told her that the money is not for pleasure. They told her to go and bring a report from that Enugu hospital and the money would be transferred to the particular hospital to carry out the surgery. But, she said no that she wants the money in her account, so that she will go to Enugu on her own. The claims and counter-claims surrounding the N2.5 million have become an issue in the society. Some members of the public and groups had called for a thorough investigation into the identity of Egejuru, who Kelsey Hospital management revealed was not the original mother of the patient. They tasked security agencies to unravel the connection between the "single lady" that earlier brought the minor for treatment when she was four days old, and Egejuru, who claimed to be the mother. Among the groups is the Aggrieved Niger Delta Youths (ANDY), which particularly demanded that Mrs. Lolo (surname withheld) should be investigated too. ANDY called on EFCC, to quickly intervene and investigate her, based on what Egejuru said that transpired during her meeting with the hospital personnel. The President of ANDY, Prince Amatari Bipeledei, made the call during a peaceful protest by the body, to register their displeasure over the delay in the release of the fund for the treatment of Delight. Bipedelei urged the Managing Director of NDDC, Mr. Nsima Ekere, to set up a panel to investigate the disagreement surrounding the release of the money. The group also requested for immediate order to transfer the sum to the account of Egejuru for the onward treatment of the ailing child.  culled from MPNB Mr Olumide's Blog |

| How To Find Your Way Back To Christ Posted: 12 Nov 2017 12:21 AM PST  So what happens? I can remember a day when my kids were young. I was in my car singing praises to the Lord as I drove home from an incredible time of Bible study with women in my church. I recall praying, "Lord, for all of my days, please keep me here – in this place of passion for You." Did I stay "right there" for the rest of my life? Well – no. I wish I could say that I did. But as life's busy-ness and pressures began to take priority over my time, the fire burning in my soul soon faltered. Because I allowed "the cares of this life" to become a priority, I abandoned the time I spent in prayer, worship, and in learning of God's character through the study of God's Word, and fellowship with other women who were also committed to grow their faith. I ached to find my way back to that place I had once been, but I needed help to know how. Titus 2:4 instructs the older woman to teach the younger, so I sought out older women whose walk with Christ I wanted to emulate. I am confident the insights I gleaned from these passionate Christ followers are what God used to help me find my way back to an intimate walk with Him. So what did I learn? I'm so glad you asked. In the church, there is a temptation to "pretend" we have it all together, I think that lack of vulnerability is one area where we fail one another in the Christian community, so I applaud your courage to seek help. Steps to Take These steps transform my intimacy with Christ whenever I start to wander – which happens more often than I'd like to admit! 1. Get alone with God to search your heart and confess your sin to Him. Pray Psalm 139:23-24: "Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." Unconfessed sin is the number one hindrance to a believer's intimacy with Christ, so always begin with honest reflection on your own heart. Recently, my daughter shared with my Sunday School class that she writes out all the sins that God reveals to her so she can be intentionally in repenting and turning from her sin. If you are married, know that harboring resentment against your husband for not measuring up to your expectations is a real threat to your intimacy with Christ.For marriage help you can read my book: If My Husband Would Change I'd Be Happy & Other Myths Wives Believe. 2. Begin reading through all the Bible stories from Genesis onward. You may be quite familiar with the stories, but as you read, don't necessarily look for what Abraham, Moses, David, etc. did. Rather, ask God to show you what He did. As the Spirit reveals itself to you in each story, write in the margin of your Bible "God's Character-God's Ways." As you study, ask God to grow your love for Him as you learn his character. This process will help you learn to recognize God's ways in your own life and help you trust Him. It will also help you know His character and cause your heart to love Him more and more as you discover God for who He really is – and not who you may perceive Him to be. 3. Write out Psalm 119 in a journal. Write one stanza each morning and pray it back to the Lord. Think about the stanza throughout the day and pray back to God the portions you remember. Before bed, read the stanza again as a prayer to the Lord. The next day, do the same with the next stanza. Do this daily until you're through all of Psalm 119 (it's a very long chapter). When you've finished, you can always begin writing and praying through Psalm 119 again. Each time I go through this process, it causes my love for God to swell. (In fact, I am so in love with Psalm 119, with God's help I am now memorizing the whole chapter!) Work through a study on the Names of God. My favorite is: Lord I Want to Know You by Kay Arthur. 4. Learning the Names that God gave Himself throughout the Bible will help you know Him more intimately, trust Him more, and fall in love with who He really is – rather than who you may perceive Him to be. 5. Read biographies about people who lived in total abandon to Christ. I can't even tell you how inspiring it is to read biographies. And not only will you learn from the example of some amazing Christ followers, you will learn to see your own life through an eternal perspective. Seeing the impact of others for the cause of Christ will help you remember we all get one moment on this planet to live the purpose for which God created us: To know Christ and to make Christ known. 6. Ask God for help. In John 14:13, Jesus promises: "Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son." 7. Don't give up. There will be seasons when life will draw you away from your passion to pursue Christ. However, God promises to draw back those who are His. Scripture says, "He who began and good work in you will bring it to completion… It is God who works in you to will and to do His good pleasure." (Philippians 1:6; 2:13)Isn't that exciting? You aren't in this alone. God grants His Spirit to help anyone who has received Jesus as Lord and Savior, and I know He can help you too.* And if you live in a manner worthy of your calling, I am certain you will have no regrets.

| Police arrest woman who dumped her 1day old baby in a pit toilet | Mr Olumide's Blog Posted: 12 Nov 2017 12:18 AM PST  Hassan, however, told journalists on Friday that she was unaware that what came out of her body was a baby. Sources said the incident occurred a day after Hassan, who is a mother of two moved to the house of her second husband, who was said to be oblivious of her pregnancy. A neighbour, who heard the cry of the baby and saw Hassan coming out of the toilet, was said to have raised the alarm, leading to the rescue of the baby, who was rushed to a nearby hospital. The baby boy reportedly died six days later. Hassan was subsequently arrested, alongside her boyfriend identified as Jemilu. Sources said Hassan, who resides at Nasarawa quarters in Funtua, Katsina State, had two surviving children already. She was said to have been recently divorced by her former husband and just remarried.

| Poverty made me marry late - Hafiz Oyetoro | Mr Olumide's Blog Posted: 12 Nov 2017 12:03 AM PST  According to the actor, he married late due to poverty. Read his interview below; What does fatherhood mean to you? Fatherhood means the ability to perform all responsibilities of taking care of one's family and being able to meet the needs of the family. It also entails the ability to be emotionally stable and intelligent enough to accommodate physical, psychological and spiritual needs of the individuals who constitute the family. It is also the ability to acquire what it takes to be a father. It goes beyond giving a woman 'belle.' What age did you become a father and how did you feel holding your first child? I became a father when I was close to 41 (laughs). It was not too late. But it was late. However, I felt so fulfilled. I am also grateful to God that I was able to join the league of fathers. In the same week that my child was born, a friend of mine was giving away her daughter in marriage. You can imagine the gap. Where were you when your wife gave birth? When I heard the news that my wife had been delivered of a baby boy, I was elated. I was not around when my wife gave birth. I was on a movie location. I saw my first child the third day he was born. I called my mother-in-law to visit my wife at the hospital. What did you do when you heard the news? I called my wife to congratulate her. I told her to place the phone by the ear of the baby. Whether he could hear me or not, I insisted I wanted to talk to him. I said to my child on the phone, "Hello my son, welcome to Nigeria. I am your father. I am not around now but as soon as I come back, I am going to see you. You are welcome to my family." I think he heard me well because when I got home, he didn't cry. He smiled when he saw me. God made everything easy for us. All our three children were born without complications. Within five minutes in the labour room, my wife gave birth. My wife didn't go through much labour pains. In fact, my last child was born at the reception of the hospital. I thank God for His mercies. I have two boys and a girl. What accounted for your lateness in being a father? I can't specifically say why. For a very long time, I was more committed to my career. I was carried away by the demands of my profession. Another factor that could have led to that was poverty. I never wanted to rely on people to take care of my children. I decided to get married at a point that I was able to take care of myself and my family. But many people assumed that you are a rich man. You don't just grow up one day; it is a process. I am not a millionaire, so to say. But I am very grateful to God that I can afford bread and butter on my table. When I said poverty delayed me, I meant that I hustled for a long time. A few years back, the entertainment industry was not recognised. It was our passion that kept us going. It was about five or 10 years back that entertainment started getting lucrative. I was only popular back then but poor. The idea of self-dignity, not wanting to rely on people for support, accounted for my delay. How did struggling prepare you for fatherhood? It made me to be properly ready. I learnt about fatherhood from friends who were already married. I had elder brothers who had gone through various family challenges. So, when I got married, all those challenges were not new to me because I had prepared well for them. I was mature to resolve all those challenges. I wish I married early. What fascinates you about fatherhood? The major challenge with marrying late is that my children are still in secondary and primary schools. It means I have a lot to do for my children. Children of my friends have finished their education. I used to attend the weddings and convocation organised for such children. But at my age, I am still paying school fees. While my colleagues can afford to buy cars and mansions worth millions of naira, because they are no longer paying school fees, I am doing more of investment in my children. I cannot afford to copy their lifestyle or afford such luxuries. I believe that I still have a long way to go. My children are my investments. When some people say, 'Upon all the money wey Saka get, e no do this, e no get plenty cars', I laugh. I am investing my money in my children because I don't want them to pass through what I went through in life. I put more into their training so that they can be successful. I am giving them the best of education. When it comes to investing in other things and enjoyment, it is affecting me. While other fathers are getting gifts from their children, I am still paying school fees at my old age. I am not too old anyway (laughs). I am just 54. What specifically are you doing to prepare your children for a better future? First and foremost, I don't joke with home training and education. I also ensure that they are close to God. Those are my priorities. I let them understand the realities of life; that one needs to work hard to be successful. I want to thank God that I know one or two people. But I don't want my children to rely on people. I am giving them the best education that I can afford now. Knowledge is power. If they have the knowledge, they will know how to manage their lives. Once you equip your children with knowledge, you have done everything for them. I started school at nine. My children started school at age three or four. They would finish their education on time. I want to train them to be self-employed or employable so they won't start afresh like me. I started from the scratch. I started from point zero. I want my children to start from point 10. What kind of father are you at home? My wife, children and I watch Saka together on TV. Saka is a different person from Hafiz Oyetoro, the husband and father. My children know their father, Hafiz Oyetoro. They know Hafiz Oyetoro, who acts Saka. It's a professional grace for me. I want to thank God that I passed through good lecturers who trained me to differentiate my personality from the role I play in movies. What do your children say when they watch you on TV? My children are my first critics. Sometimes, they ask me, "Daddy, why is Saka doing like this?" "Is this how to wear the uniform?" Sometimes when I do something, I let them see it first and listen to them. My wife and children understand me most. When I am away for a long time and come back home, I loosen up. I organise dance competition and crack jokes. I do perform for them to cover up for the lost time. I really want to be close to my children. I try as much as possible to do so. My children are free with me and their mother. They are free to express their feelings. We give them disciplined freedom of expression. How do you discipline your children? I don't cane my children. I feel that I don't have to use the cane to get things done. I was brought up by my uncle who caned me. I didn't like that. I lived with my father until age nine when I started primary school. From age nine, I was under the care of my uncle. It was really interesting because he was strict. I didn't have freedom of expression. I didn't want my children to experience that. I play with them and tell them stories. Once they misbehave, I could say, "You, because you have done this, don't talk to me in your life again." When I change my attitude, that child will feel odd and apologise. I used to tell them to kneel down and raise up their hands. Is any of them interested in acting? One of my children seems interested in being an actor like me. I don't want to force them into any career. I give them the freedom to choose what they want to do. Whatever they want to become, my own is to support them. Is there anything they tease you about? For instance, when I come home and tired, I could sleep in the living room. They would be dramatising, mimicking how I slept off. Sometimes, they tease me with some of the lines of Saka. They use the lines where I abused somebody to get back at me. I don't tell them lies. I told them I was not a fantastic, excellent student way back in school. Most fathers would tell their children they used to take the first position even though it's not true. When I was in primary school, I took first position for some time. But when some other smart guys came, they took over. Whenever we are in light mood, all those things I said when I was angry, they would rehearse it in my presence to tease me. If there's a lesson you want your kids to take from you as they move through life, what would it be? Discipline, humility and believing in the Almighty God. I want them to learn these from me. I want them to know that there is no shortcut to success. When you don't work for success, what is gained soon fritters away. If you work for success, you will be able to maintain it. When you are hard-working and believe in God, success will be with you forever. When you are disciplined, you won't be jealous of other people's success. If you are humble, people will respect you. I want them to be simple like me. Life is simple. How do you manage to be a successful actor, teacher and father? God has helped me to manage my time well. As a father, I don't do more than I can. I live a simple life. I am very honest and faithful to my wife. I want to thank God and the producers. They know that I am a civil servant; so, they don't give me jobs to do during the week. I don't drink alcohol. I don't run after women. I don't smoke. I want to thank the Nigerian press. Up until today, I have not recorded any scandal. Scandals can be cooked up. Female fans come but I have been able to overcome temptations. You know that I am not that particularly handsome. But to my wife, I am a very handsome man. That is the reason she married me. But you cannot compare the character of Saka with that of Ramsey Noah and other handsome actors. The traffic of temptation and pressure from women to me is low. Because I am a teacher, I live the life of a teacher. I don't go to clubs. I am very simple, reserved and shy person. I am a complete "paki" (local man) man. This makes everything easy for me. I am thanking God for making me a simple person. Artistes are human beings with weaknesses. What is one of the most important gifts your wife or children have given you in appreciation of your fatherly role? The greatest blessing a man can get from God is to marry a woman who shares his vision. The greatest gift my wife has given me is her ability to share and support my vision. She understands me from A-Z. She is a graduate of mathematics. I don't even know how the chemistry works. She is caring but quiet. When I am not around, they pray for me. They even fast for me. In the African setting, some believe that fathers are to play the role of providing for the home while the mothers take care of the home. Do you agree with this? I disagree. Even in those days, our fathers took their wives to the farm. I am from a village. My mother used to accompany my father to the farm. My wife also takes care of certain responsibility of her volition. She had to resign from government job when we got married. She was a mathematics teacher somewhere. When we got married, she had to resign to take care of the children. Both of us cannot be working because the home front would suffer. She has her shops where she sells children things. Sometimes, she takes care of certain things without telling me. I only get to know later. My children used to call me to say mummy had taken care of something they were asked to bring in school. We work together as partners. But as the father, it is automatic that I carry the larger percentage of the family's upkeep. Have you cooked at home before? I am a great cook. Don't forget that I was a bachelor for 40 years (laughs). I cook once in a while now. It's been long I did that. As time went on, I became very busy. In the last five years, I have not been able to do those domestic duties due to my busy schedules. What is the most important relationship advice you give to people? I will advise would-be couples to have jobs before getting married. It took me time to get married because I wanted to be able to withstand the financial cost. When the man is jobless and the wife is jobless, how do they maintain the home? Self-maintenance is a continuous responsibility. The marriage will not last if both would-be couples are jobless. Even if it's the wife that is employed, they can still manage. They don't need to have government jobs. But they must have a means of sustenance. If there is no butter on their bread, let there be water, at least, after taking the bread. I do not support a marriage where both couples are jobless. There will be tension. When there is tension, there will be misunderstanding. When there is constant misunderstanding, the marriage will collapse.  culled from MPNB Mr Olumide's Blog |
| Posted: 12 Nov 2017 12:03 AM PST  One of the daughters of polygamous sect leader, Warren Jeffs, has revealed that her father sexually abused her for years. She said this happened during her growing up years in the secretive group. Rachel Jeffs, now 33, told NBC News the abuse started at the age of eight and happened countless times, despite her mother's attempt to intervene, before she confronted him about it in a letter at age 16. Other former members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, including son Roy Jeffs, have also accused him of sexually abusing them as children. Rachel Jeffs has penned a book about her experiences titled "Breaking Free: How I Escaped Polygamy, the FLDS Cult, and My Father, Warren Jeffs." Warren Jeffs is serving a life prison sentence in Texas for assaulting girls he considered wives. He has no lawyer and turned down NBC's request for comment. At age 18, Rachel Jeffs was informed she would become the third wife of a man in the group, a breakaway sect based along the Utah-Arizona border. The prospect left her shaken and afraid, as did her father's suggestion that she try to become pregnant with her new husband's child on the day of the wedding. She left the group after her father sent her away from her children for months at a time over perceived wrongs she denied committing. "I felt that he was punishing me for what he did to me. Like he was trying to break me and make me feel like I was worse than him," she said. "And I wouldn't let myself go there. I knew he had done wrong, and I didn't want to let him break me."

| Peace Corps Boss To Police: "I Will Resume On Monday" Posted: 11 Nov 2017 11:51 PM PST  The National Commandant of PCN, Dickson Akoh has however vowed to resume at the headquarters of Peace Corps on Monday following the court judgment. A Federal High Court in Abuja last Thursday awarded N12.5m as damages against the Police and the Inspector General of Police over their violation of the rights of Akoh and some of its members. Justice Gabriel Kolawole gave the award in a judgment on a fundamental right suit filed by Akoh. Men of the NPF had on February 28 this year invaded the Abuja headquarters of the PCN during its commissioning, and arrested Akoh and 49 other members of the group, who were later detained. Akoh and others later challenged their detention and the continued sealing of the PCN's headquarters in Abuja by the police by filing the rights enforcement suit and claiming N2billion damages. They listed the NPF, IGP, the AGF, the National Security Adviser, the Department of State Services (DSS) and its Director-General as respondents. In the judgment, Justice Kolawole ordered the police to immediately unseal the group's headquarters at 57, Iya Abubakar Crescent, Off Alex Ekwueme Way, Opposite Jabi Lake, Jabi, Abuja. Speaking to newsmen on Saturday on recent development, Akoh said Peace Corps headquarters has not been vacated. "This order was given last Thursday and it was supposed to take effect immediately. As far as law is concerned a court order is a public pronouncement and public document. As I am talking to you now police are still stealing the headquarters of the Peace Corps of Nigeria, (PCN). Their truck is still there. They should obey this court order to vacate the PCN headquarters. "I think what the police is looking for is for us to revolt so that they can use it to justify their actions and look for another charges to hold us. In a country that practice ideal democracy, the Inspector General of Police is not following what the rule of law says. Our lawyers have told us to be patient. We have waited for this development since February 28, so waiting till Monday will not harm us."  culled from Olu famous Mr Olumide's Blog |

| I will retire when I can no longer swallow Eba - Oga Bello | Mr Olumide's Blog Posted: 11 Nov 2017 11:48 PM PST  Speaking in a recent interview with The Cable, the actor said he will only retire when he can no longer swallow a morsel of eba. How long will you remain active and continue to entertain fans I still have the ability to do it and they are still demanding for me. An artiste doesn't retire, he moves with time. I will retire on the day I can no longer eat Eba. I also move in time with my stories, I always write social satire and things will continue to happen.  culled from MPNB Mr Olumide's Blog |
