You have taught me that marriage isn’t about how compatible couples are but how they deal with their incompatibility. You are one of the things in my life that I got right, my ultimate merit badge. I know what your life here means to me, it’s been like a blessing sent from God that I can truly see. God through you has shown me who I need to be. Thank you my wife and a very Happy BirthDay to you, may we never grow old. If no be YOU, Na who. Your Loyal Mugu( for life ) Charly.

Charly Boy penned a touching letter to his wife, Diane Oputa a.k.a Lady D as she becomes a year older today, 29th January professing his love. Read his piece below: My Dearest Diane, Like joke like joke we both are getting older. Today is your birthday and once again I can’t help but to celebrate you in the open, what I have always done for the past 37yrs of our married life. Celebrating our extraordinary life together. I hope that our togetherness over the years have taught some people about perseverance, tolerance, discipline and love. You know our marriage has not been a bed of roses like that, but we have stayed loyal together through all kinds of terrible weather, never strayed, through all the challenges, battling so many winches and wizards, through tick and thin, even in poverty and great hopelessness. I have been our soldier, protecting this fragile thing called marriage. E no easyooooooooo.

Thank you for standing by me through all my bullshit, my ignorance and my mood swings, the fact is that I can never live with anyone like me but you have managed to survive 37yrs of me. Sometimes am not sure I deserve you, some other times I feel I could have done better or you could have done better. However, I trust that you have the stomach to still tolerate us for another 37yrs. Frankly, after 3 failed marriages, so many krugeegee waka, I think God did indeed bless me with you. You know it’s not all the time that I will be sweet and romantic like you would like me to be, because sometimes my eyes dey see pepper for this nonsensical environment. However, one thing you can take to the bank is that am serving “Life” with you. You have taught me that marriage isn’t about how compatible couples are but how they deal with their incompatibility. You are one of the things in my life that I got right, my ultimate merit badge. I know what your life here means to me, it’s been like a blessin

WAEC 2016/2017 VERIFIED ENGLISH LANGUAGE ORAL/ SUMMARY/ESSAY/THEORY/ OBJ/QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS HERE Ansa to numba2 ==================================== (2) The morals and values of todays society have really changed. For an example; The younger generation have little respect for elders, their parents or authority figures which leads to a higher crime rate among our children. This is the reason there is no respect for others belongings, and people take what they want instead of asking for it. The reason the morals and values are like they are in todays society, is because the parents do not take the time to teach their children, to show respect to their elders or to show respect for others. They are not taught the value of family, so instead the children are spoiled with material belongings which puts the parents in a position of having to by them what they want regardless of the cost this instills lack of morals and greed in ourchildren. The rate of teen pregnancy is a lot higher and the number of women being pregnant without being married is higher than it was in years past. The lack of morals has led to the violence and the drug use by society today. I believe that this stems from the type of programing that our youth are watching on television today and they are using the characters on television , and musicians as role models rather than their parents. Another reason for the lack of morals and values is both parents have to work, due to the shape of our economy which leaves the children without proper guidance and allowing them to learn from bad examples. There are a lot of young parents that are into partying and so they do not supervise their children and they run lose getting into trouble. We need to instill better morals in our children and teach our youth the family values to do this we need to start spending quality time with our children, and monitor what our children are watching on television. We should spend more family time with our children either playing games,planting a garden, or helping with their school work. We could teach children better morals and values by being a good role model for.

==================================== No5 A story with the theme "pride goes before a fall" Mary Lee seemed to have everything. She was very beautiful with a neat trim figure and an attractive face. She was very rich. Her clothes were better than anyone else's and she had more of them. Her books were always new and expensive as were her pens, school bags and bicycle. She was very clever too and without appearing to do very much work, she was always first in all the examinations and always answered all the questions, while the ret of the class were still thinking. With all this, or really because of all this, no one liked Mary Lee. She was too good, too clever and she was also very proud. No one was quite good enough to talk to her or to be seen with her or to be her friend. And so, with all her proud ways and riches and brains, she was lonely but she did not care because she was always best in everything. As the end of term drew near, the pupils including Mary Lee began to think about the most important prize of all. this was the prize, offered by the principal, for the best essay to be written on one of two subjects. "I needn't worry about that," thought Mary Lee, as the others began to read and to think about the essay. "I shall easily win; after all, my compositions are always better than the rest." 'Pride goes before a fall,' they say and it certainly did in the case of poor Mary Lee. 'Happiness' and 'Friendship' were the two subjects for the essay and Mary Lee knew little about either. As she scratched her head for ideas and scribbled with her pen, she realized that she hadn't any friends to speak of and that she was very far from being happy. She had no idea and so, she did not win the prize. Ah Chu wrote the best essay and the pupils were pleased, because he had never really excelled in anything before. He won lesson. She felt so silly because all her money and her cleverness seemed nothing compared with not wining the prize. "I mustn't be too proud or too sure," she thought, "the fall is very hard, if you have been too arrogant. " She became a much pleasant person after that and her fellow pupils became her friends. She still won many prizes, but she never forgot the valuable lesson that the one prize she lost had taught her.

Obama: “I Dare You To Say No To A White Guy Named Merrick”

To the Senate Republicans: You, uh, may have heard that today at 11am, I announced Merrick Garland as my nominee to the Supreme Court. Here is a brief bio: Merrick Garland was his high school valedictorian. He graduated Harvard as valedictorian. He graduated Harvard law magna cum laude. Then he prosecuted the Oklahoma City bombers and the Unabomber. To recap, I nominated a genius, white, male, prosecutor-of-terrorists to the Supreme Court. It’s, uh, your move, Senate Republicans. But, wait. First, I want you to look to your left – you might notice your usual coterie of racist supporters are missing. Because Merrick Garland is white. Now look right – the misogynists are tucking their tails between their legs and skittering back to wheresoever they dwell. Because Merrick Garland is man. In addition to being a white man, his name is Merrick Garland. He sounds like an anonymous Southern Senator Frank Underwood references on House of Cards. So all the groups that you typically wink at for support and then disavow? They can’t help you here. You’re alone, GOP Senators. Check and, uh, mate. Maybe you think Donald Trump or Ted Cruz will come out swinging against Garland, a Jewish guy who helped put Timothy McVeigh behind bars? That will be a helpful sound bite for the Cruz campaign: “I love Israel more than my kids but don’t put a terrorist- fighting Jew on the Supreme Court.” Actually that, uh, doesn’t sound so good, does it? No, it certainly feels as though I’ve, uh, gotcha. Now I have no doubt you’ll fight this nomination tooth and nail. But you can’t fight him. You can only argue on the basis that I shouldn’t nominate anyone. And on those grounds I’ve got a secret weapon: the Constitution. It’s pretty explicit that I get to nominate a Supreme Court justice as long as I’m President. Which I am. Me. Barack Obama. The President. So go ahead, fight me on this. Prove to America that, uh, the Republicans are the source of all Washington gridlock. Any conservative-leaning independent with half a brain will finally see that you for the heel-dragging, maneuvering children you are. Come at me. But do not forget who I am. I’m a political genius who looks great in a bathing suit and is still very much your President. So go ahead, object to the overly qualified white guy named Merrick. I dare you. Yours Truly, President Barack Obama

NATION WORLD House Speaker Ryan rules out GOP presidential bid By Erica Werner The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — House Speaker Paul Ryan on Tuesday definitively ruled out a bid for president this year, insisting that the party's choice should emerge from the group of candidates who pursued the GOP nomination. "Count me out," he said. In a brief news conference at the Republican National Committee headquarters, the Wisconsin Republican sought to tamp down rampant speculation that he could end up as the party's standard-bearer if front-runner Donald Trump and the other candidates flame out at a contested convention. "We have too much work to do in the House to allow this speculation to swirl or have my motivations questioned," said Ryan, who was the 2012 vice presidential nominee. "Let me be clear: I do not want, nor will I accept, the Republican nomination." Ryan's comments come as a contested convention looks likelier by the day. Ryan and his aides continually have denied the speaker has presidential ambitions this year, but their statements have not put the issue to rest. That's partly because Ryan also denied he wanted to be speaker last fall after then-Speaker John Boehner announced his resignation, but he ended up with the job anyway. Tuesday's appearance was an attempt to shut down the speculation once and for all and end what aides said has become a major distraction to Ryan's work as speaker. Yet it may not be enough to quiet the talk about Ryan, given the unpredictable twists of the GOP presidential primary. "So let me speak directly to the delegates on this: If no candidate has a majority on the first ballot, I believe you should only choose a person who actually participated in the primary. Count me out," Ryan said. "I simply believe that if you want to be the nominee — to be the president — you should actually run for it. I chose not to. Therefore, I should not be considered. Period." Trump looks unlikely to accumulate the necessary delegates to clinch the nomination before the July Republican convention in Cleveland. That would allow his lead challenger, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, to make a play for the job. A third hopeful, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, trails in the delegate count. Yet party leaders fear neither the erratic Trump nor the polarizing Cruz could beat likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in November. They also fear the GOP won't be able to hold onto control of the Senate with Trump or Cruz at the top of the ticket. So if neither Trump nor Cruz can get the delegate votes necessary as balloting progresses at the convention, chaos could result — and, along with it, the potential for some other Republican who's not currently running to emerge. As a young and charismatic conservative, popular with donors and with some conservative activists, Ryan's name has been at the top of that list for months. Ryan also is seen as a possible candidate in 2020. Early in the campaign season he announced he would not be making a run in 2016, yet some of his own actions fueled the talk. He's delivered high-profile speeches calling for a more principled politics, and his staff uses social media to promote developments as varied as Ryan's recent trip to the Mideast and his decision to "give up impatience and anxiety" for Lent. Ryan insisted Tuesday that such moves have been aimed at communicating on behalf of House Republicans, although he has yet to unveil the policy proposals he's been promising. Removing the presidential speculation would put Ryan's focus squarely on his day job as the leader of the House, and he faces several key tests soon. In a long-brewing embarrassment, it's become plain that Ryan has all but given up hope of passing a budget for the upcoming budget year. Ryan orchestrated four budget efforts as chairman of the Budget Committee over 2011-14 but now can't produce one as speaker. Boehner, his predecessor, presided over five successful budgets. Under the government's arcane budget law, the House is supposed to produce a budget by April 15. But a Tea Party revolt over Ryan's embrace of last year's bipartisan deal with President Barack Obama to increase spending by the Pentagon and domestic agencies has left him well short of the votes he needs.

Judge rules against couple in first same-sex marriage lawsuit in China Gerry Shih , The Associated Press Published Tuesday, April 12, 2016 11:56PM EDT Last Updated Wednesday, April 13, 2016 2:17AM EDT CHANGSHA, China - A judge on Wednesday ruled against a gay couple in China's first same-sex marriage case that attracted several hundred cheering supporters to the courthouse and was seen as a landmark moment for the country's emerging LGBT rights movement. The court in the central city of Changsha dismissed the suit brought against the local civil affairs bureau for refusing to issue the couple a marriage registration certificate. The couple's lawyer Shi Fulong said he expected the judge would rule against them but not so soon - within just a few hours. "It goes against the spirit of the laws of the people's republic of China," Shi said. Plaintiff Sun Wenlin said he would appeal until he exhausts all legal options. The lawsuit comes amid growing awareness of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues in China, where society and the government have generally frowned on non- traditional expressions of gender and sexuality. China doesn't legally recognize same- sex marriage and officials with the central government have said they do not see the law changing soon.

Syrians begin voting for new parliament Syrian policemen stand guard outside a polling station during the parliamentary election in Damascus, Syria, Wednesday, April 13, 2016. (AP / Hassan Ammar) The Associated Press Published Wednesday, April 13, 2016 1:32AM EDT DAMASCUS, Syria - Polling stations have opened in government-held parts of Syria for the election of a new 250- member parliament. Shortly after the stations opened at 7 a.m. (0400 GMT) Wednesday people began turning up. Around 3,500 government-approved candidates are competing after more than 7,000 others dropped out. Damascus says the vote, which will only be held in areas controlled by the government, is constitutional and separate from the peace talks in Geneva aimed at ending the war. But the opposition says it contributes to an unfavourable climate for negotiations amid fierce fighting that threatens an increasingly tenuous cease-fire engineered by the United States and Russia. Western leaders and members of the opposition have denounced the process as a sham and a provocation that undermines the Geneva peace talks. Report Error

Oh my gosh!” Redmond said. “ I did see a little clip of it. It’s humorous, and believe me, I did not continue to watch it. But it is humorous and I can see why she’s getting a lot of negativity about it.” “We didn’t know about her past when we were filming but she’s such a wonderful person, she has a good spirit. We do love her,” Redmond added. Hendra appeared topless several times in a Cinemax series, but says it wasn’t even close to porn, telling US W

President Obama: Libya aftermath 'worst mistake' of presidency

US President Barack Obama has said failing to prepare for the aftermath of the ousting of Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi was the worst mistake of his presidency. Mr Obama was answering a series of questions on the highs and lows of his time in office on Fox News. He said, however, that intervening in Libya had been "the right thing to do". The US and other countries carried out strikes designed to protect civilians during the 2011 uprising. But after the former Libyan leader was killed, Libya plunged into chaos with militias taking over and two rival parliaments and governments forming. How Obama learned the limits of US power So-called Islamic State (IS) gained a foothold, and Libya became a major departure point for migrants trying to reach Europe. A UN-backed national unity government arrived in the capital Tripoli earlier this month but is waiting to take charge.

His parents had sought a restraining order against him in 2006, saying he had taken the movie Hannibal - about a serial killer - from a shelf and told his mother she should watch it and "beware". Charlton, 37, was arrested Monday after police said remains believed to be those of Ingrid Lyne of Renton were found over the weekend in a homeowner's recycling bin. A head, arm with a hand, lower leg and foot were recovered, court documents state. Lyne, 40, was reported missing on Saturday. The coroner's office was working to confirm the remains were hers. Her family released a statement on Tuesday, saying they are heartbroken. "This weekend, a light went out of our lives forever. Ingrid, beloved mother, daughter, sister, and friend was taken from us for reasons we still cannot comprehend," the statement said. Lyne had planned to go on a date to a baseball game Friday night, friends said. A neighbour told detectives she had been dating a man named John. Charlton told police he went to the baseball game with Lyne and returned to her home that night but was so intoxicated he couldn't recall what happened. He said he had been dating Lyne for about a month. Seattle police detectives searched Lyne's suburban home Sunday and found a 15- inch pruning saw near the bathtub, an empty box of plastic garbage bags identical to the type containing the body parts, and collected swabs of suspected blood, according to court documents. Police said Charlton had abrasions on his forehead and hand, injuries to his lip and chin, and scratches on his chest. Charlton told police he spent Saturday and Sunday night at the Lake Stevens, Washington, home of a former girlfriend Originally published as US woman dismembered in home, parts dumped      read next Recommended by Ads By Google Breaking News  

Facebook Messenger launches chat bots

FACEBOOK says people who use its Messenger chat service will soon be able to order flowers, shop for shoes and talk with a variety of businesses by sending them direct text messages. At its annual conference for software developers, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Facebook is releasing new tools that businesses can use to build “chatbots,” or programs that can talk to customers in conversational language. “We think you should just be able to message a business the same way that you message a friend,” Mr Zuckerberg said, noting many people hate the experience of calling businesses on the phone. Facebook is trying to encourage people to spend more time and do more things on its social network and related apps. This at a time when some reports indicate people may be sharing less personal information on the social network — either because of privacy concerns or the growing appeal of competing apps. That underscores the importance for Facebook of adding more features to its Messenger and WhatsApp chat services: It needs to keep people engaged — and continue to learn about their interests for advertising purposes, said analyst Ben Bajarin of the Creative Strategies research firm. Facebook is also putting a high priority on creating new video features, both as a way to hold people’s interest and to show them ads. It’s been making it easier for celebrities and media outlets, as well as individual users, to stream live video on the social network. Now it’s releasing software that it hopes developers will use to build apps for streaming video from drones and other gadgets. Facebook has also developed its own camera — a special device designed to take “immersive” 360-degree video that can be shared on the social network. Chief Product Officer Chris Cox said Facebook doesn’t plan to sell the camera to consumers but will share its design to encourage other firms to find new uses for 360-degree video. The new video push is part of Facebook’s effort to compete against Twitter, SnapChat, YouTube and others working on new ways to serve video- hungry viewers. While it doesn’t sell ads for live video streams — not yet, anyway — analysts say Facebook has seen early success with other types of video commercials. Facebook, meanwhile, is adding new uses for Messenger at a time when more people are embracing the internet chat service, and its competitors, as way to communicate with friends as well as businesses. Facebook announced last week that Messenger has 900 million active users, while WhatsApp, another messaging service owned by Facebook, claims 1 billion. “More and more of our mobile time is spent within messaging,” said Ken Sena, an investment analyst at Evercore ISI, who examined the apps in a recent report. He’s one of several analysts who believe consumers would prefer talking to a business within the messaging app they’re already using, rather than download a separate app and create another user name and password for each business. That’s already a popular model in some Asian countries, where people use China’s WeChat, Japan’s Line and other texting services to schedule doctor’s appointments, pay for meals, order merchandise or send gifts to their friends.      read next Recommended by Ads By Google Online   Bots coming ...

SKoreans vote for new parliament

SKoreans vote for new parliament South Koreans have voted to elect a new parliament, with the ruling conservatives expected to regain a majority despite a sluggish economy and a four-year term considered one of the least productive ever. Early voter turnout was low compared with four years ago, according to the National Election Commission, a trend if it continues is likely to work to the advantage of President Park Geun-hye's Saenuri Party. Saenuri holds half of the 292 seats in the National Assembly. Before recent defections, it held a majority with 157 seats in the 300-seat unicameral parliament. Voters expressed frustration that parliament has neglected real issues such as jobs and national security in Asia's fourth largest economy and focused more on protecting political interests. "I hope that parliament will be more mature to mirror the maturity of the voters and that politics can be used for the welfare of children and young people," Kim Jeong- yeon, 46, said after casting her vote in Seoul. A strong showing by Saenuri would raise expectations that it will field the winning candidate in a December 2017 presidential election to find a successor to Park at the end of her single five-year term. The country has a strong presidential system around a national leader who is limited to a single term by constitution but has control over domestic and foreign policy issues. South Korea's economy grew 2.6 per cent last year and youth unemployment reached 12.5 per cent in February, the highest since the government started keeping records in 1999, compared with single- digit joblessness in other age groups.

A married woman who is also a gospel singer has met her tragic end after having an affair with a pastor.

2016 budget crisis confirms my position that Buhari is clueless, incompetent - Fayose

Read the press statement below... Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayo Fayose has described the raging controversies between the Presidency and the National Assembly over the 2016 Budget as a confirmation of his position that President Buhari was clueless and incompetent, saying; “Nigerians should expect more blunders like this until they send Buhari back to Daura in 2019.” The governor, who said it was now obvious that the President and his All Progressives Congress (APC) only wanted power desperately without the wherewithal to govern, added that; “I warned Nigerians of the consequences of electing an octogenarian as president and with the international embarrassment that this budget crisis has become, I have been vindicated.” According to a statement issued on Tuesday by his Special Assistant on Pubic Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, the governor said; “It is obvious that there is total disconnection between the President and his cabinet members as many of the ministers don’t even have access to him probably because the President spend most of his time resting as a result of his old age.” He said; “The reality is that the President is challenged by age, exposure and ability. He did not read the budget proposal that he presented to the National Assembly and this should be a lesson for those who clamoured for a Buhari’s presidency that no man can give what he does not have. “The question is; can a minister present supplementary budget to the National Assembly and can the National Assembly act on budget proposal submitted by a minister? “It is shameful that after blaming former President Goodluck Jonathan and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for close to one year, the presidency is now blaming the National Assembly for its inability to prepare a common budget.” The governor commended the National Assembly for exposing the lies and hypocrisy of the presidency, saying it was shameful that President Buhari and his men could blame the National Assembly for their incompetence. He called on the National Assembly not to succumb to blackmail and intimidation from the Presidency, saying that the way and manner the Presidency was going about blackmailing and intimidating other arms of government, especially the judiciary should worry lovers of democracy and good governance in the country. The governor, who declared that Nigeria will no longer be ruled by octogenarians, said; “Nigerians must have now come to terms that I warned them that Buhari is too old to govern a country like Nigeria.”

5 ways a break up could help P- Square, Jude Okoye

The recent issue between Peter, Paul and Jude Okoye will look like a PR stunt if they eventually make up, which is already very likely with Peter’s recent post on Instagram wherein he made an obvious statement about apology. But beyond that, an actual break up will be good for all parties involved and there are a number of points that prove this. Peter Okoye of P-Square makes thinly-veiled apology on Instagram following earlier rants on Twitter in which he went against brother Jude Okoye. Looking at the current situation, if the Okoye brothers are indeed ‘PR stunting’, then the benefits are numerous. For starters, they will remain in the headlines for some time as a result, and anything they get involved in will enjoy prime time in the media. This is always the case when celebrities clash. Fans and critics take sides, critique and then observe happenings in the weeks and months leading up to any major album release or anything else the celebrities are handling. READ ALSO: Beef between P-Square, Jude Okoye is unfortunate – Saeon But regardless of celebrities riding on the back of controversies into further prominence and commercial gains, one party will always be on the losing end when all has been said and done. It is always a ‘David and Goliath’ tussle, with one party suffering defeat or an outright career harm in some situations. File photo of Paul, Peter and Jude Okoye. This is fact and history has shown this over and over. Given this, many have taken a deeper look at the current tussle between Peter, Paul and Jude Okoye and are coming up with series of conclusions on who stands to gain more from the group separating (if that becomes the case). As you ponder on this, below are five points we have gathered so far from the narrative that prove that a break up could be helpful for the Okoye brothers and the Nigerian music industry in general: 1. The fans are actually bored of the same old stuff and maybe a break up will ‘rile up’ each party to outdo the other on the next track, mixtape or album. 2. A break up will bring about innovation and fresh ideas. Having listened to the sounds from the brothers over the years, a whole new type of music vibe from them will not be out of place, maybe a digression into other genres like Reggae, Highlife or Hip hop who knows? Just anything fresh would do. 3. The brothers talk too much and so maybe a split is what they actually need so the world can see who the real McCoy is. This will also help in the aspect of bringing about competition and healthy rivalry which are key ingredients for success. READ ALSO: Peter Of P- Square Quits Music? 4. Competition is good for business, very good actually as it helps increase profits. Whatever the case, this public face off between the brothers will help shoot up record sales and boost whatever personal involvements they have going on if they decide to do music separately. P-Square and American rapper TI with whom they collaborated on the song Eje Ajo in 2014. It will also spill over into the corporate clients whose brands they currently represent by bringing more attention to the entire process. And as we said here during the Olamide-Don Jazzy issue, drama is good for business because like bacteria they are important too. 5. Competition from the break up will help shake off complacency which P-Square appear to be suffering from. What do you think? See the video for Bring It On by P-Square featuring Dave Scott below:
