And the good news keeps coming in. A huge congratulations to Chris Attoh and Damilola Adegbite who are expecting their first child.

The ex “Tinsel” co-stars got everyone saying “Aww…” when they announced in January 2014 that they are a couple. They later revealed they’ll be tying the knot this April.
We sighted the big screen beauty sporting a baby bump, but we wanted to check with the couple before confirming the obvious joyful news. BN placed a call to Chris Attoh who was more than graceful to accept and direct us to his publicist Rosie of Waka Agency in Ghana. “Yes, they are expecting” she exclusively tells BN. Rosie also gave us an update on their wedding; Damilola and Chris have decided to postpone the wedding till later this year or early next year. Dami wants “a fairytale wedding” she said. We can’t wait for the baby and the wedding. (BN)

2015 Presidency : PDP Okays Automatic Ticket For Jonathan

 
 President Goodluck Jonathan is set to run as the sole candidate of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at its November 2014 presidential primary. Reason: the national leadership of the party has secretly agreed to allow the president take the presidential ticket without any opposition from within. By implication, the deal on the much-touted automatic ticket for President Jonathan has been sealed.

Regardless of the automatic ticket deal already struck in favour of Jonathan, the leadership of the PDP will not entrench it in the constitution of the party “in order to avoid needless crisis in the future”, LEADERSHIP was told in confidence.

According to an impeccable source, a member of the PDP Board of Trustees (BoT), the decision to give President Jonathan the “right of first refusal” became necessary for two reasons: the need to avoid bickering and deepen internal party democracy and the absence of any serious presidential aspirant in the party.

Nonetheless, the source was ambivalent on whether or not same gesture would be extended to PDP governors serving their first terms.

“You can see how interesting the entire political landscape is looking now; in the APC, there is turmoil over Muslim-Muslim ticket; they cannot agree to conduct peaceful ward congresses; yet, their target has always been the PDP and the Presidency.

“As a party, the APC lacks all democratic norms but it is the PDP they always abuse even at odd times without reasons. What you have seen in the APC is just a tip of the iceberg; that party will soon erupt in flames, and that is why I pity those PDP governors who abandoned their party to join them, thinking that there will be room enough for them.

“All those who said they were leaving the party because PDP was planning to impose Jonathan and Sambo with the belief that they would either be presidential candidates or running mates to someone have all been disappointed now; they have seen that, unlike the PDP, APC has landlords and tenants.”

Asked if it was democratic for the party to contemplate automatic ticket for Jonathan, the PDP chieftain said it was nothing new in democracy: “It is not a new thing in democracy; every democracy has its own peculiarities. In any case, if the governors left because of that, what is worse between having a Muslim-Muslim ticket without any democratic process and one which is implemented through the rules?

“In our own case, yes, we have been alleged to be planning to impose Jonathan but we shall follow very enviable democratic principles to have him as our candidate; for the first time, Nigerians will witness respect for party rules and institutions because we have to deepen democracy.

“It is annoying and very distracting for a sitting president to go through the rigours of party nomination when in actual fact he is entitled to another term in office. The best thing to do is to allow him move on and that exactly is what the leadership of the party has already agreed to do for President Jonathan come October or November this year. I can bet you that he would be the sole candidate of the PDP at the primary.”

On the governors, he said, “What is of paramount interest is what I have told you.”

LEADERSHIP gathered that, at a meeting of party stalwarts at the presidential villa sometime in March this year, it was agreed that the last National Executive Committee (NEC) before the presidential primary will endorse the president for another term.

However, in order to avoid legal complications, even though President Jonathan would stand as the sole candidate, delegates would have to vote to ratify the NEC’s decision.

PDP’s national publicity secretary Olisa Metuh was circumspect in his reaction to the issue. “The party will follow its constitution to the letter; anything outside the constitution will not be done and once you lay hands on our constitution, the provisions are clear and unambiguous,” Metuh said on telephone.

Automatic ticket, a must – Group

Meanwhile, a pseudo campaign group, National Coalition for Jonathan/Sambo Presidency (NCFJSP), has demanded automatic ticket for President Jonathan.

Presenting the group’s position to the national secretary of the PDP, Professor Wale Oladipo, the national secretary of the Coalition for Jonathan/Sambo Presidency, Dr Benjamin Irikefe, said the group was impressed with the achievements of the Jonathan administration.

The group called on the PDP Board of Trustees and the National Executive Committee (NEC) to convene separate emergency meetings of the two organs and pass resolutions adopting the incumbent president as its candidate for 2015.

“Our irrevocable decision to call on the leadership of the PDP to grant this automatic ticket to Mr President is also premised on the fact that we genuinely believe, and the records are conspicuously there for all to see, that there is no alternative to President Jonathan till 2015. He has the proven capacity and track records to prevent Nigeria from chaos, disintegration and monumental ruins,” it said.

National secretary of the ruling party Professor Wale Oladipo, who received the delegation on behalf of the national chairman of the party, Adamu Mu’azu, assured them that the party would do the needful.

“I thank you for the support for the leader of the party, Dr Goodluck Jonathan. Your message is very clear and we shall communicate to the PDP Board of Trustees and all other organs of the party. We believe in rule of law and we will be guided by two things: the Nigerian Constitution and the PDP Constitution,” he stated.

It was unclear whether the push for automatic ticket for President Jonathan through various campaign bodies was a strategy being adopted by initiators of the move to pressurise the leadership of the party to fall in line.

Only a few weeks ago, former governor of Zamfara State and board chairman of the National Coalition for Jonathan and Sambo Presidency, Alhaji Aliyu Mamuda Shinkafi, told those vying to unseat President Jonathan in 2015 to forget it as there was no vacancy in the nation’s seat of power until 2019.

Shinkafi made the statement in Abuja at the inaugural ceremony of the zonal executive councils and state chairman of the association.

PDP BoT chairman, Chief Tony Anenih, had last year canvassed the idea of an automatic ticket for the president and first-term governors on the party’s platform. (AJETUN)

(Must Read) Woman finds out her husband was about to marry another woman after they died in d Ikorodu boat (see)

 
A woman, who identified herself as Mrs. Feyi Akere, has shown up to say 35-year-old Isaac Akere, one of the victims of the Ikorodu boat mishap, was her husband.

Isaac, who was the last of the nine victims to be recovered from the Majidun River, was said to be planning his wedding with his fiancée, Foluke, this week Saturday.Tragedy struck last Wednesday when both Isaac and Foluke took a commercial boat belonging to Bell Marine Services along with 19 others from the Ebute Ero, Lagos Island en route Majidun, Ikorodu. The boat capsized midway into the journey due to overloading and speeding, killing the intending couple, two pregnant women, a 13-year-old girl, and four others.Twelve of the victims reportedly survived the accident.

Our correspondent reported on Monday that Isaac’s corpse was discovered on Saturday after the family raised a rescue team of fishermen to search for his body when it was not seen at the Ikorodu mortuary.Few hours after the report was published, accompanied with the picture of Isaac and Foluke, 36-year-old Feyi said she got calls from friends and family members asking if she had divorced her husband.

She said she was not aware her husband wanted to marry another woman, adding that after the incident, her husband’s relatives locked up his house in Ikorodu and took away her children.

She said, “When the incident happened, some of his colleagues called me, asking if I did not know that my husband was involved in a boat accident, and that he was preparing to marry.

“I didn’t believe until I searched for The PUNCH report online and read the story myself.Immediately, I went to his office at Apapa. I was directed to Ebute Ero. There, they queried me to know if I was his wife. They said they heard he wanted to marry and that he died with his fiancée.

“I called my dad after another friend called me from the United Kingdom saying the same thing.She said she went to the mortuary and while making enquiries about her husband and speaking with his colleagues, her husband’s younger brother embarrassed her, asking what she was looking for.

“His younger brother attacked me and told the people around not to talk to me. I discovered that they had locked up Isaac’s house immediately he died and took my children away. They have also removed his two cars –the one he parked at the Majidun jetty and the one in the house. Why are they holding on to my children? What is their interest? Why did they lock up his building and remove his cars? I need to know.”

Asked if she had problems with her husband before he died, Feyi said she once had a major disagreement with him after he impregnated a woman outside wedlock.

The mother of two said the incident, which happened in 2011, led to her husband packing out of their matrimonial home.

“We were legally married in 2006, even though we had been living together since 2004. I have had two children for him, both girls. Our problem started when he impregnated a lady, which I later found out from personal investigation. It was a big quarrel, and I almost sued him for it, but people said I should not because he was my husband.
“He packed out of the house we built and rented a three-bedroom flat and started living with the woman who then had a child for him,”

She, however, said a member of the family identified as Lanre, had been calling her for “negotiation”. She said she wanted to be carried along in the burial of her husband, and had rebuffed such calls, which she described as unreasonable.

Feyi’s lawyer, Debo Olufeko, said,

“There is already a case of abduction against the family because they took the two children from her and took them to Ilorin, Kwara State. My client was his legal wife and has a marriage certificate as evidence. She was never divorced from her husband, even though we knew there was a concubine.”

When contacted on the phone, Lanre refused to comment on the allegations, but asked our correspondent to speak with an elder of the Akere family.

The elder, who declined identification, confirmed that Feyi was the wife of Isaac.

He said,

“Yes, we are aware he had a wife. However, all those things she said are lies. It is a lie that we took her children from her. The family did not take any children from Feyi at any point in time.
“The family moved in to take care of the children. She will take them after coming to talk to the family about it. She was not living with her husband or children before.”

The Difference Between Men And Women.

Let's say a guy named Fred is attracted to a woman named Martha. He asks her out to a movie; she accepts; they have a pretty good time. A few nights later he asks her out to dinner, and again they enjoy themselves. They continue to see each other regularly, and after a while neither one of them is seeing anybody else.

And then, one evening when they're driving home, a thought occurs to Martha, and, without really thinking, she says it aloud: "Do you realize that, as of tonight, we've been seeing each other for exactly six months?"

And then, there is silence in the car.

To Martha, it seems like a very loud silence. She thinks to herself: I wonder if it bothers him that I said that. Maybe he's been feeling confined by our relationship; maybe he thinks I'm trying to push him into some kind of obligation that he doesn't want, or isn't sure of.

And Fred is thinking: Gosh. Six months.

And Martha is thinking: But, hey, I'm not so sure I want this kind of relationship either. Sometimes I wish I had a little more space, so I'd have time to think about whether I really want us to keep going the way we are, moving steadily towards, I mean, where are we going? Are we just going to keep seeing each other at this level of intimacy? Are we heading toward marriage? Toward children? Toward a lifetime together? Am I ready for that level of commitment? Do I really even know this person?

And Fred is thinking: ...so that means it was...let's see...February when we started going out, which was right after I had the car at the dealer's, which means...lemme check the odometer...Whoa! I am way overdue for an oil change here.

And Martha is thinking: He's upset. I can see it on his face. Maybe I'm reading this completely wrong. Maybe he wants more from our relationship, more intimacy, more commitment; maybe he has sensed - even before I sensed it - that I was feeling some reservations. Yes, I bet that's it. That's why he's so reluctant to say anything about his own feelings. He's afraid of being rejected.

And Fred is thinking: And I'm gonna have them look at the transmission again. I don't care what those morons say, it's still not shifting right. And they better not try to blame it on the cold weather this time. What cold weather? It's 87 degrees out, and this thing is shifting like a garbage truck, and I paid those incompetent thieves $600.

And Martha is thinking: He's angry. And I don't blame him. I'd be angry, too. I feel so guilty, putting him through this, but I can't help the way I feel. I'm just not sure.

And Fred is thinking: They'll probably say it's only a 90-day warranty...scumballs.

And Martha is thinking: Maybe I'm just too idealistic, waiting for a knight to come riding up on his white horse, when I'm sitting right next to a perfectly good person, a person I enjoy being with, a person I truly do care about, a person who seems to truly care about me. A person who is in pain because of my self-centered, schoolgirl romantic fantasy.

And Fred is thinking: Warranty? They want a warranty? I'll give them a warranty. I'll take their warranty and stick it right up their...

"Fred," Martha says aloud.

"What?" says Fred, startled.

"Please don't torture yourself like this," she says, her eyes beginning to brim with tears. "Maybe I should never have...oh dear, I feel so..."(She breaks down, sobbing.)

"What?" says Fred.

"I'm such a fool," Martha sobs. "I mean, I know there's no knight. I really know that. It's silly. There's no knight, and there's no horse."

"There's no horse?" says Fred.

"You think I'm a fool, don't you?" Martha says.

"No!" says Fred, glad to finally know the correct answer.

"It's just that...it's that I...I need some time," Martha says.

(There is a 15-second pause while Fred, thinking as fast as he can, tries to come up with a safe response. Finally he comes up with one that he thinks might work.)

"Yes," he says. (Martha, deeply moved, touches his hand.)

"Oh, Fred, do you really feel that way?" she says.

"What way?" says Fred.

"That way about time," says Martha.

"Oh," says Fred. "Yes." (Martha turns to face him and gazes deeply into his eyes, causing him to become very nervous about what she might say next, especially if it involves a horse. At last she speaks.)

"Thank you, Fred," she says.

"Thank you," says Fred.

Then he takes her home, and she lies on her bed, a conflicted, tortured soul, and weeps until dawn, whereas when Fred gets back to his place, he opens a bag of Doritos, turns on the TV, and immediately becomes deeply involved in a rerun of a college basketball game between two South Dakota junior colleges that he has never heard of. A tiny voice in the far recesses of his mind tells him that something major was going on back there in the car, but he is pretty sure there is no way he would ever understand what, and so he figures it's better if he doesn't think about it.

The next day Martha will call her closest friend, or perhaps two of them, and they will talk about this situation for six straight hours. In painstaking detail, they will analyze everything she said and everything he said, going over it time and time again, exploring every word, expression, and gesture for nuances of meaning, considering every possible ramification.

They will continue to discuss this subject, off and on, for weeks, maybe months, never reaching any definite conclusions, but never getting bored with it either.

Meanwhile, Fred, while playing racquetball one day with a mutual friend of his and Martha's, will pause just before serving, frown, and say: "Norm, did Martha ever own a horse?"

And that's the difference between men and women.
