Oshiomole Daughter Defends Her Dad Over His Marriage

The euphoria about the much talked about wedding between Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomole and his his Cape-Verdian wife, Lara Fortes is yet to die down as the issue has since been a major discourse on social media platforms The wedding which witnessed the presence of the high and mighty in Nigeria, was not graced by the children of the ‘comrade-governor’ as Oshiomole is fondly governor called which sparked rumours of the governor’s children not in support of their father’s decision. The rumour has now been disputed as one of the governor’s children, Winifred Isimakhome Oshiomhole, has given her opinion on the wedding and also reacted to the negative comments from some Nigerians. She went ahead to explain why she and other family members didn’t grace the occasion. In a phone interview with Metro Naija, when she was asked about the marriage, She said; ”I think my father has finally gotten the heart to move on and Nigerians should learn to respect his decision. I saw so many bad comments and My question is, this people don’t even know half of the story and they just go about writing ignorantly” On her absence at the wedding, She said, “The information for the day was not properly circulated, I would say I was busy taking care of my life, work and my family and I must have missed out on the plan, I cannot say for the rest of my sisters but I am sure we were not properly informed. I wish the couple a great married life and I am sure she will make my father happy”. Describing his wife, Governor Oshiomole told Vanguard that, “She is very humble, she appreciates the nature of my job and life that I return home late, some times 3am. She understands my weaknesses, she is more or less the mother of the house, the one that has accepted to be the mother of my children. “I am happy that all my children are at home with her and accept her as their mother even though she is not old enough to be their mother. She has accepted to fill that gap,” he said. The marriage of the latest couple in town was held yesterday at the Etsako West Local Government Council Marriage Registry, Auchi, while the reception took READ MORE: http://www.naij.com/440126-leave-my-father-alone-oshiomole-daughter-blasts-nigerians.html

23 ADVICE FROM A FATHER TO A SON ABOUT MARRIAGE

23 ADVICE FROM A FATHER TO A SON ABOUT MARRIAGE

1. My son, if you keep spending on a woman and she never asked you if you’re saving or investing, and she keeps enjoying the attention, don’t marry her. 2. My son, a woman could be a good wife to you, some could be a good mother to your children but if you’ve found a woman like a mother to you, your children and your family, please don’t let her go. 3. My son, don’t confine the position of your wife to the kitchen, where did you get that from? Even in our days, we had farm-lands where they worked every morning . . . that was our office. 4. My son, if I tell you that you’re the head of the house, don’t look at your pocket; look if you will see a smile on your wife’s face. 5. My son, if you want to have a long life, let your wife be in-charge of your salary, it will be difficult for her to spend it when she’s aware of the home needs and bills to pay but if it’s in your care, she will keep you asking even when all has been spent. 6. My son, don’t ever beat your woman, the pain in her body is nothing to be compared to the wound on her heart and that means you may be in trouble living with a wounded woman. 7. My son, now that you’re married, if you live a bachelor kind of life with your wife, you will soon be single again. 8. My son, in our days, we had many wives and many children because of our large farm-lands and many harvests, there are hardly any land for farming anymore, so embrace your woman closely. 9. My son, under the cocoa tree that I did meet your mother could be your eateries and restaurants of nowadays, but remember, the closet thing we did there was to embrace each other. 10. My son, don’t be carried away when you start making more money, instead of spending on those tiny legs that never knew how hard you worked to get it, spend it on that woman that stood by you all along. 11.

My son, don’t compare your wife to any woman, there are ways she’s enduring you too and has she ever compared you to any man? 15.

My son, pray with your family, there is a tomorrow you don’t know, talk to God that knows everything, everyday.

Arsenal Vs Man Utd

Danny Welbeck wrote his name in to Arsenal folklore by scoring the winner on his first return to Old Trafford, sending the Gunners through to the semifinals of the FA Cup with a 2-1 win. Arsene Wenger's team took the lead through Nacho Monreal's composed strike, but swiftly surrendered an equaliser when Wayne Rooney nodded home Angel Di Maria's cross. However, Welbeck pounced on a loose Antonio Valencia back-pass to score the winning goal. United's attempts to launch a comeback were hindered by the dismissal of Di Maria, who was sent off after, having just been booked for diving, he received a second yellow card for tugging at the referee's shirt. The night might have got even better for Arsenal, but David de Gea produced two world-class saves to keep the Gunners' tally at two. No matter. There is something particularly poignant about Welbeck nicking the winner on his return to United. Arsenal fans will revel in the club's first victory at Old Trafford since 2006. Player Ratings (1-10; 10=best. Players introduced after 70 minutes get no rating): GK Wojciech Szczesny, 6 -- Arsenal's cup goalkeeper looked a little nervy on his return to the side, without being enormously tested. This was not a performance to put David Ospina under significant pressure. DF Hector Bellerin, 6 -- Although his inexperience showed when he picked up an early booking for a needless foul on Ashley Young, Bellerin recovered to put in a largely assured display before being replaced by Calum Chambers. DF Per Mertesacker, 8 -- The giant German has responded remarkably well to being left out of the team against Everton. He was excellent against United, helping Arsenal to cope with the frequent long balls toward Marouane Fellaini. DF Laurent Koscielny, 7 -- Although the Frenchman will be disappointed to have lost Wayne Rooney for United's first-half equaliser, he played a crucial role in helping Arsenal see out the victory. DF Nacho Monreal, 8 -- Made his most tangible impact on the game with his goal, which he took surprisingly well given that he previously had just one other strike to his name in English football. However, it's worth noting that he was superb defensively too -- at present, Monreal looks a far safer option than the more cavalier Kieran Gibbs. MF Francis Coquelin, 8 -- Playing through the pain of a broken nose, Coquelin provided Arsenal with an invaluable shield in front of the defence. Coquelin showed brains as well as brawn. He knew he couldn't beat Fellaini to the first ball but made sure he was positioned intelligently to pick off the knockdowns. MF Santi Cazorla, 8 -- The quick feet of Cazorla allowed Arsenal to relieve the pressure and escape on the counter-attack on several occasions. There were also a couple of surprisingly sharp tackles from the diminutive playmaker. MF Mesut Ozil, 7 -- Arsenal's record signing was quiet in the first half but orchestrated several of their best attacks in the second. At times he seemed a little reluctant to shoot. Had he been more ruthless, the Gunners may have won by a greater margin. FW Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, 7 -- Created the goal with an outstanding bit of skill, dribbling past three players before picking out a pass for Monreal. Unfortunately, a hamstring injury ended his night early. FW Alexis Sanchez, 7 -- Provided Arsenal with a constant outlet on the break and was a menace inside the penalty area. Arsenal's top scorer would have added to his tally but for a stunning save from De Gea. FW Danny Welbeck, 7 -- In the first half, Welbeck's first touch was off and he struggled to make an impact on the game. However, he worked tirelessly and grew in to the match as it went on. The goal was just reward for his selfless play and should provide a tremendous boost to his confidence. Arsenal fans will also have been delighted to see him celebrate his goal rather than opt for a muted display. Substitutes MF Aaron Ramsey, 7 -- Came on for Oxlade-Chamberlain and added characteristic energy to the proceedings. DF Calum Chambers, 6 -- Replaced Bellerin and helped Arsenal through an intense final 20 minutes. FW Olivier Giroud, NR -- Introduced as a replacement for Welbeck, Giroud made little impact.

Side Effect of Having Amazing Roomies

The 9 Side Effects Of Having Amazing Roommates 1. There’s no such thing as ‘ugly’ No one thinks you’re more beautiful than your housemates do. They’ve literally seen it all- the tornado through your hair when you wake up, your puffy eyes after a good cry, your stunning formal do to that ball, your pyjamas that you practically live in, your I-have-a-presentation-today look, your outfits when you go out on a date- and sometimes, even a sneak peek of your birthday suit. If anything, it’s just being real. 2. You never run out of food No matter what the time of the day is, no one sits at the communal table without offering each other portions of their food. Better still if you live in a house filled with people from varying cultural backgrounds - because then you now have a greater variety of dishes! TALK ABOUT BONUS POINTS 3. You never stay sick for long The second someone catches you sneezing, coughing or even wheezing - they’re definitely going to check on you and convince you to get to the doctor’s ASAP. Also, they become temporary medical practitioners and start recommending all the possible therapies and drugs that could work. TAKE THAT, BACTERIA! 4. You will have movie nights (WITH PIZZA!) Yes, I’m talking about the triple P- Pizza Pajama Party! Someone gets selected as the ‘host’ and their room becomes the shelter for the night. So bring on all the duvets and pillows, because it’s stuff-your-face and feast-your-eyes night! What beats a sleepover with the people you live? 5. Nights out are an adventure What’s better than a drunk person stumbling home? A group of drunk people stumbling home… together! Everyone has had their 10th shot of tequila, the hours of working the dance floor and holding onto each other to get home begins! From a stranger’s perspective, it’s MAZE RUNNER (PART TWO!!). 6. Your closet gets a free upgrade Although this applies mostly to same-sex housemates, I’m sure in this day and age of wide fashion arrays we are able to make full use of each other’s closets! Girls, flaunt those baggy sweaters! Boys - colour your closet! If you’re lucky, you’ll even get pro bono fashion tips on what to wear to that date or presentation. Fashion Police, you’ve got nothing on me! 7. Study dates are effortless I live in a house where each and every one of us gravitates towards different courses - but that has never stopped us from getting together to hike the mountain of education, armed with nothing but eye bags and heavy books! Just kidding, we have snacks too- LOTS OF IT. Although everyone has different content, the common intention serves as an incentive to get sh*t done. 8. You live for the impromptu musicals Everyone sings; but whether it is a sweet sound is a different case altogether. Still, what beats breaking it down with all your heart and better yet, being joined by people who sound and move just as horribly as you? Sorry, this is a no judging zone. So what are you waiting for? Get your ‘Les Miserables’ mode on and sing your way through life with your homies! 9. You pay for the rent, but the friendships are priceless Ultimately, the people you live with become family. They’re your home away from home, and sometimes being away from them is just as hard. When someone asks you where ‘home’ is, you hesitate- because now they’re home too. So now, you have family and flatmily.

Absinence

Why Complete Abstinence Kept Me From Growing As A Person

I am nineteen years old. Yes, I am still a young person still finding herself in her college years. Most people near my age are partaking in this hook-up culture, toasting SOLO cups at parties, getting high in the clouds, or like me, staying in my drab room with Netflix or finding sober, clean ways to have fun with friends on a college campus. Of course, I have no problem whatsoever with anyone hooking up, having too much of good time drinking, or anything of the following. It’s your life and you have every right to live it the way you want to. If it makes you happy, go for it! I’m rooting for everyone in their pursuit of happiness, regardless of what it is. As for myself, I am pretty conservative and have kept myself in my own abstinent bubble away from alcohol and sexual activity like a “good girl” should, and I haven’t had my fair share of relationships either because I’ve always had a serious take on that issue since you’re either going to marry that person or break up with them so I never wanted to waste my time. I was clean. Never drank (but how can you NOT have wine at Thanksgiving dinner?). Never did anything sexual. I was very proud of myself for this. I’ve heard so many stories of people making mistakes and messing up at my age or in their twenties, and quite frankly, that frightened me. I wanted to take precautions and make sure it would not happen to me by just abstaining from everything. Here’s the thing: the only thing that would be changing would be my age. Only the number would change, but as an individual, I would be the same person as the year before. I wouldn’t be growing and exploring what my desires are or quenching my thirst for adventure and life. Once I turn 21, I will probably crash and burn at my first sip of alcohol and lose control because I have been clean ever since (my face already turns red from a few sips of wine so you can imagine what more could do to me). As for relationships, how will I know what I want in a partner? I am probably one of the most gullible girls you will ever meet, and I may be setting myself up for disaster in relationships by not reaching out to others. I get really uncomfortable if a guy approaches me, and I have no idea how to act or what to say because I’ve just been staying away from anything that is affiliated with dating and relationships in that aspect with guys (granted, I’m waiting until after marriage). What is common knowledge in relationships is something I am very oblivious to. I am playing it safe. A little too safe. I need to take risks. A leap of faith. Take chances and grow from them. Making mistakes is good because you will grow from them. Now, I realize it is better to make a mistake and learn a life lesson rather than not budge from your comfort zone at all or have “what-ifs” in life. I am not saying that I WANT to mess up but if I do, I shouldn’t be completely ashamed and approach it pessimistically. Do not let your circumstances shape you. Instead, grow from them. I had my first drink last year and I thought I was going to die. It was a terrible experience, but at least now I know how to control myself. I knew if I didn’t try it, my curiosity would continually keep lingering over my head. Trying to keep clean for the longest time will most likely end up in a purge and it won’t be pretty. Although I had a taste of alcohol, I am not hitting up parties nor do I even crave it. I just tried it just to try it, and I still choose to have laid-back nights, streaming Netflix or doing plain activities with my friends on weekends. At least now, I won’t be questioning what the experience of drinking is. Alcohol is not the enemy. It is how you utilize it. Just like anything else. I believe some of the wisest people have compiled a good amount of mistakes in their lifetime, but we can also take other people’s mistakes and learn from them as well instead of learning the same lesson through experiences of our own. Complete abstinence isn’t the answer, it is self-control. [tc-mark]
