Love Indeed: Australian Man Weds His Dog

This is surely the end of times as an Australian man, Joseph Guiso, surprised his family and friends when he decided to tie the knot with his dog, Honey, a 5-year-old labrador retriever, whom he described as his best friend.
Joseph, from Toowoomba, a suburb of Australia, gathered 30 of his friends and family to witness what he called the 'most important day in his life and that of Honey.'
Describing himself as a very religious person, Joseph said he felt guilty about living in sin with Honey, so he decided they should seal their love in front of God. He then got down to his knees, stared deeply into the dog's eyes and said to her:
You’re my best friend and you make every part of my day better.
Joseph also promised his family and friends that his relationship with Honey is made of pure love.
Joseph Guiso then sealed the marriage with a kiss right on Honey’s snout.

Prophet Soul E Says Two Governors Will Die Next Year

There is no stopping Afro pop singer turned Prophet, Emmanuel Ifechukwude Okose, the one we all love to call Soul E, as he has been spewing prophecies after another.
And unfortunately for him, he has been at the receiving end of Nigerians, as most of his prophecies have been doom related, including prophesying that singer Wizkid would be poisoned while Omo Baba Olowo, Davido, would be involved in a fatal accident if they do not pray to avert the calamities.
He also predicted that the seat of Nigeria's power, Aso Rock, would be on fire and that President Goodluck Jonathan should embark on a three days fasting to avert any calamity.
He is not done yet though. He has also come out again to predict that two governors in the country will die before the end of 2015.
This is what Prophet Soul E said:

God told me two northern governors will go, they will die before the end of 2015.

This is what God showed me. Prophets come to tell you what God is saying about a situation. I am not a pastor, but a prophet. Pastors will tell you ‘you are blessed;’ Prophets will tell you to be careful or tell you not to marry the particular person you wanted to marry because of the vision they had seen. (Pulse)

Mercy Johnson in Trouble?

Actress Rita Edochie Says Mercy Johnson Is The Best

Veteran Nollywood actress, Rita Edochie, has confirmed what many have been insinuating about Mercy Johnson currently towering above other actresses in the movie industry, by stating that Mama Purity has no equal.

In an interview recently, Rita, who has been in the industry for a long time and should know, said that Mercy is her role model and a true Africa Queen.

Hear what she said:

My role model is Mercy Johnson; that is my African Queen.

Of all the girls in Nollywood, she is the person I love most because she is natural to a fault.

She can fit in anything. She is over natural and I like her because she does it well anytime, any day. I give it to her. After Mercy Johnson, Chioma Chukwuka, Ini Edo, Genevieve. You see all these girls, they are all good but of all the girls, Mercy Johnson is still the best.

Apart from being one of the best actresses around, Mercy Johnson is actually the busiest at the moment.
Pulse.ng can attest to this empirical truth as we ran into Mercy at three simultaneous movie locations in Asaba, the capital of Delta State, a location that is fast becoming the Mecca of movies in Nigeria.
Pulse.ng sighted her on Saturday, 29th March, at Golden Land Hotel located along Okpanam Road, Asaba, where she was shooting a scene and in a brief exchange before she dashed off to another location, Mercy said she is actually humbled at the way movie producers rush to her with scripts.
She said that she gets an average of 10 to 15 scripts every week and most times, the producers pay huge amounts of money to outdo one another so as to lure her to their sets.
She attributed her success to the favour of God in her life.
Do you agree that Mercy Johnson is the best actress in Nollywood now?

'I've Found Love' - D’banj Reveals Marriage Plans

Nigerian music star D'Banj has revealed that he has found love and will settle down when the time is right.

Speaking in an interview with a popular tabloid, D'banj opens up about his relationship status and the rumours which went viral that he was dating US actress and model, Kenya Moore.
When asked if he'd found love, he replied yes but declined revealing her identity, saying he won't talk about his private life until he is married.
When are you getting married?
"I'm going to marry at the right time. Trust me. You guys are asking me when I'm getting married because Tuface has married. Peter (psquare) is married. Even Paul has also married. At God's appointed time, I will marry just as my friends are now getting married."
On the Kenya Moore story, D'banj said, "The story has no substance. I'm even about going to sue UK daily mail for the defamation of character. I'm discussing with my legal team. They didn't hear from me. Everything they wrote is totally wrong. They defined Koko master wrongly. I think they wanted to talk about Kenyan Moore, who was a former Miss America, but they didn’t get their facts right. Everything they wrote was false .They are going to hear from my legal team, soon."

This Is The Punishment 23-Year-Old Man Got For Attempting To Kill President Obama

An Idaho man who admitted trying to assassinate President Barack Obama by shooting at the White House was on Monday sentenced to 25-years imprisonment.
                                                             Oscar Ortega-Hernandez

Oscar Ortega-Hernandez, 23, appeared in federal court after pleading guilty in September to terrorism and weapons charges. He had been originally indicted on 17 criminal counts.
Prosecutors had charged Ortega-Hernandez with firing a Romanian-made assault rifle out of the window of his car the evening of 11 November, 2011.
After sending a number of rounds toward the White House, he sped away toward a bridge leading to the Virginia suburbs, but crashed his vehicle and fled on foot, officials said.
The government said Ortega-Hernandez’s fingerprints were found on ammunition magazines left in a 1998 Honda, but not on the weapon itself, which also was left in the car.
Neither the President nor his family were at home at the time of the incident.
“This man drove cross-country to launch an assault rifle attack on the White House from Constitution Avenue,” said U.S. Attorney Ronald Machen, whose office prosecuted the case. “He was motivated by hatred for the President and the desire to start a revolution against the federal government.
“We are very fortunate that his bullets narrowly missed the U.S. Secret Service officers guarding the White House that night. This 25-year prison sentence demonstrates that anyone who comes to the nation’s capital planning to use violence should expect to spend decades behind bars.”
Ortega-Hernandez was captured at a Pennsylvania motel five days after the incident.
Prosecutors argued Ortega-Hernandez was dangerous and planned out his alleged crime over a period of months saying although no one was injured, he hit the executive mansion about eight times and did nearly $100,000 in damage
According to the FBI, Ortega-Hernandez’s friends reported that he made anti-government statements beginning in 2010.
Officials said he believed the federal government was trying to control Americans through GPS, fluoride and aspartame.
He was also angry at what he believed was U.S. bullying of other countries, including in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and claimed that the President was the “anti-Christ” and told friends he was “on a mission from God to take out Obama.”

OBESERE RAPE SCANDAL: Police Finally Speak, Read What They Said

The Lagos State Police Command Spokesperson, Mrs Ngozi Braide has said Miss Nike Olaiya who accused Obesere of rape is a blackmailer and extortionist.

 

 

In a chat with Encomium magazine, on Friday, March 28, 2014, she said both the victim and the accused agreed and they had canal knowledge of each other but Nike was only trying to blackmail him afterwards.

 

"As far as we're concerned, and based on the investigations carried out so far on the matter, most of the allegations by Obesere's accuser, Olanike Olaiya were fabricated. Although, they both admitted having canal knowledge of each other, there was absolutely nothing to show that Nike was raped as she claimed. It was a frame -up because the lady has refused to honour police invitation. And the doctor's report available to us has shown that she was not raped. We're made to understand that this lady on her own went to Obesere's house in search of Obesere, that she spent the nights there. She was there cooking and everybody in the house ate.

 

"People in that house have equally made statements. I think there was a mutual relationship between the two of them. Nike is a 29 year old lady, a divorcee. I think during the period she was in the house, they had canal knowledge of each other, and she left him after which she went to the station to allege that she was raped. I think there was a case of mutual relationship between both parties as well as extortion attempt.

 

"Before she went to make such allegations, she had already contacted Obesere on phone to demand certain amount that she was bleeding and so on. Obesere now invited her to a hospital. The doctor examined her and he didn't see anything abnormal. And they said for further clarification, she should go for scan. She left and never returned to the hospital.

 

"But investigation is still in progress. Police would not rest until we get to the root of the matter and we will make the outcome known to the public.

 

Reacting on the development, Obesere said, "I thank God I have been vindicated by the outcome of the investigations so far conducted by the police. What's next is to enter the studio for my next album. I thank God and that people have identified with me so far. I am very sure the police will soon get to the root of the matter."

A Must Read : Charlie Boy Challenges God, Asking Him ''Why Don't You Destroy Satan, Once And For All''

It seems that the season of open letters in Nigeria has not ended yet. One of the most controversial figures in Nigeria’s show-business, Charly Boy, penned a letter to God. In the letter, posted on his personal blog, Charly Boy questions the very concept of any religion.
READ MORE:  http://news.naij.com/63360.html

First, the 62-year-old Charly Boy thanks his Creator for all the things He gave him: beautiful children, a beautiful and soulful wife, a loving family, his parents, nice motor bikes, and, most importantly, the ability to adjust to any living conditions instead of struggling with the way things are.
But the entertainer is quick to point out that he has worked to earn his success. Then, he confesses that he finds many things confusing about God.
For instance, he asks, what happens to the rest of the people living on Earth who are not Christians? Or to those who died prior to the organized religion?
Charly Boy also wonders why it is acceptable for religions to evolve, noting that various religions have changed over time due to cultural pressures. How do people know it was God who "authorized" them?
Next, the entertainer maintains that if God is supposed to be perfect, He should have created perfect humans, as they are supposedly his image; instead, He ended up creating imperfect ones. He even asks God why he allowed Hell to be created and why He wouldn't destroy Satan once and for all.
Charly Boy then stresses that the Bible was written by men – then is it not strange that humans are accepting laws written by men, and that there are many different versions seen from different perspectives? Human beings, he observes, are imperfect, therefore, their stories may as well be imperfect.

Then, the entertainer wonders wonders why such a perfect entity as God, who is all-powerful and has all the knowledge in the world, would require praise. Wouldn't it be enough just to thank Him, or praise Him, in our own way? Moreover, Charly Boy asks, why do only humans praise God, but other species are "off the hook"? There is often contempt for those who question religion, the entertainer marks, and wonders why humans should be punished for using the gift of intelligence and freedom of choice.

Finally, he remarks there are multiple conflicting religions, according to which believing anything other will result in going to hell. He asks God to help him answer those questions.

"Mark you, 'God works in mysterious ways are not acceptable answers for me ooo.' So, park well," Charly Boy says in the end.

NANS protests 11-month old ASUP strike •Calls for Wike’s removal

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), on Monday, staged a mass peaceful protest to make known their grievances as regards the ongoing Academic Staff Union of Polytechnic (ASUP) strike, calling on the Federal Government to intervene as a matter of urgency.

Blocking the entrance of Governor Babatunde Fashola’s office, the students said they are tired of staying at home, promising to mobilise all students nationwide and shut down all federal roads.
NANS also condemned the age-long discrimination polytechnic graduates have continued to suffer in the labour market against their university counterparts, calling on government to review the issue.
A student from Ilaro polytechnic, Idowu Gbemileke,  stressed that they had spent 11 months and two weeks at home doing nothing while the Federal Government had kept mum on the strike so far.
Questioning Nyesom Wike’s ability to function effectively as the Supervising Minister of Education, the Nigerian students, called for his immediate removal as a minister and urged for a reform in the education sector.
“We say no to any plan by the federal and state government to increase or introduce new tuition fee on various campus,” the students said.
Their demands included a reduction in LASU’s school fees; reinstatement of all banned unions by the management of University of Lagos (UNILAG); conversion of Higher National Diploma (HND) to Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) and immediate removal of the minister of education.
The students sang several protest songs, displaying placards that read, ‘implement all agreements with ASUP, COEASU others, we say no to Wike as the Minister of Education.’ (Nigeria Tribune)

Top 26 Nollywood Stars Whose Marriages Have Stood The Test Of Time

In an industry where divorce and separation seem to be rampant, it seems good to celebrate some Nollywood stakeholders whose marriages seem to have stood the test of time. This is because the media have celebrated the frequent marriage crashes in Nollywood more than the way they have celebrated the ones that have been intact for years.
Nevertheless, there are divorces and separations everywhere, but those of entertainers attract much attention because they are in the limelight. It’s also necessary to note that there is nothing like a perfect marriage.
Here is a list of some Nollywood top stakeholders whose marriages have stood the test of time. The list is in no particular order. I painstakingly came up with this compilation. Your contributions and comments are Welcomed.
1) Olu Jacobs and Joke Silver: 
The two are celebrity couples and they have been married for so many years and they inspire younger actors with their marriage.
2) Omotola Jolade Ekeinde and Matthew :
Next on the list is Omotola whose marriage to her hubby just clocked 18 years.
Despite the scandals and rumours associated with the entertainment industry, they have been able to weather the storm of marital life.
Omotola and husband Captain Mathew Ekeinde recently celebrated their 18th wedding anniversary.
The star actress gave a shout out to her husband on instagram this with a video tagged with a special message. See the message below…
“18 years , still like we dating babe… Nice and easy… My best friend … Funny, annoying, caring, workaholic…We still here babe, you’re still the one!#happymarriageanniversary”3) Zack and Ngozi Orji:
Zack and Ngozi met in Enugu many years back when Ngozi was still a student at the Institute of Management and Technology. Ngozi is also an actress.Apart from acting, the duo are also into music and are blessed with three children, Emeka Lionel Orji, Princess Laura Chiamaka and Michelle Chidimma Orji. Zack in an interview with a weekly magazine said that their marriage has survived because of their maturity and understanding adding,to the fact that they did not get married in Nollywood. He said trust has been the rock of their marriage and he has never felt jealous anytime she plays love roles because she is only doing her job. The same goes with Ngozi who says she doesn’t feel jealous her hubby cuddling another woman in the movie.
Not even the rumoured relationship between Zack and a Ghanaian minister’s wife, which Zack vehemently refuted thus “Over my dead body! I won’t ever do a dirty thing like that. Selasi is someone my wife knows very well, they met in Ghana and she knows there was nothing else between us aside the business we both executed.” could separate them.
4) Omoni Oboli and Nnamdi:
Actress Omoni Oboli and her husband, Nnamdi Oboli has been married for 14 years now and they have in many ways become a reference point to other actresses who rush in and rush out of marriage.
In a previous interview Omoni said she has no plans for divorce
” Marriage to anybody is to understand the responsibility that comes with it. In my marriage, there’s no plan B; no thoughts about divorce. The fact that he isn’t a celebrity is not what makes him a great husband, it’s just who he is”.
5) Regina Askia Williams:
Regina askia sacrificed her fame and acting career for marriage to American Rudy Williams. The couple is blessed with 2 kids together. Regina got married to Rudy since 2000, they separated at a point in their marriage but later got back together. Who would have thought that Regina would stay in a man’s house for like 13 years? This is inspiring.
6) Rita Tony Edochie -
Rita has been married to Pete Edochie’s brother, Tony for many years.
Here her words in a recent interview:
“My name is Rita Tony Edochie. I am an actress, a proud mother of four (two boys and two girls).One of my daughters is married now. I am also a proud grandmother and by the grace of God my home is intact. Some people have this notion that I am a divorcee but I can proudly tell you that I am not and I can never be, because I got into my husband’s house to live and not to stay. I give all glory to God for that.”
7) Ramsey Noah and Emilia:
Nouah is married to Emelia Philips-Nouah. The couple have two sons and a daughter, Quincy Camil Nouah, Desiree Nouah and a baby boy. Ramsey has been married for about a decade now.

I Accept Forgiveness By Obasanjo—Atiku

Some days ago Former President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo during the Northern Youth Leaders Forum, NLYF stated that he has forgiven Atiku Abubakar of whatever offence he might have committed as his Vice-president.

Atiku Abubakar who said he has accepted Obasanjo's forgiveness thanked his former boss, yesterday, while urging Nigerians to emulate such kind of forgiving spirit as shown by the former President.

Abubakar who was Obasanjo's vice president between 1999 and 2007 was believed to have dashed Obasanjo's third-term plans in 2006  said that regardless of one's disagreement with his former boss, its certain Obasanjo is the committed and has the best interest of the country.
He also commended “Obasanjo, his former boss for taking this bold and Godly step in the interest of the nation and humanity.“
Atiku, in a statement, said forgiveness should be the country's motto: ‘’Forgiveness is divinely inspired and is an oil that lubricates the wheels of continued human interactions and engagements.”
He also urged politicians to learn from the words of Mahatma Ghandi that an eye for an eye would make “our nation go blind. “When I made a similar effort few years ago, it was on the conviction that it would not be beneficial to me before Allah, if I went to the grave with bitterness. Let us forgive one another so that we can team up for national rebirth.” (Naij)
