We all show love to our partners in different ways. For some it’s by being there (physically and emotionally), for others, it’s by buying expensive gifts.

One Nigerian man named Ubong King through his recent act has shown the world that he belongs to the latter category.

He took to Instagram to share how he couldn’t afford a ring when he proposed to his wife in 1995 but today, he has bought a ship and named it after her just to show his appreciation.

I proposed to my wife sometime in 1997 without a ring, while squatting in a friend’s house in #Uyo, #Akwaibom state. She said YES even when she knew that I had nothing. She was discouraged by many to change her mind and was asked a question which she told me “why stay with Ubong when he can’t buy you a bottle of #Coca-Cola”. When she told me I looked up and down, I looked at her and said the choice to stay was her’s… she stayed.

We got married in 2002 and still started by squatting in another friend’s house out of Lagos for about 1yr till I got my #mindset right to get my own house in Alagbado. We had to start with one mattress on the floor, second hand carpet, a ceiling fan and our windows were covered with old newspapers since we could not afford curtains.

I worked as a security coordinator in NBC Apapa, bottlers of #Coca-Cola drinks and all i wanted to do was to be responsible to be able to buy my wife a bottle of #Coca-Cola. The drive to be able to refresh my growing family has helped me to be able to buy my wife and kids Coca-Cola drinks at anytime… In 2015, I decided to buy a vessel from that drive and named it after my wife MV IVYKING. Thank YOU @unyimeivyking for starting me up my drive."


His wife shared her own story;
"The pressure to say ‘no’ mounted heavily, but I wasn’t dissuaded because, it was all external, and the reasons, when I summarized them all pointed to one argument- he didn’t have anything and would not be able to provide for me.

I’d built up enough information on the inside to realize that the lack of material acquisitions is a temporary state of being- anybody’s story can change in an instant, with God in their corner. I dared to trust God with that decision, and He honored my trust. I said ‘yes’ because I saw us building an empire together- our story is just beginning and we will write it someday by His grace. Ultimately, God will be glorified and honored. Thank you @ubongking for honoring your commitment to me and for taking care of the children and I, the way you do. *Now you can buy me many crates of coca-cola drinks* if you so wish"


According to our investigation;
In March 2010, the average price for a geared 500-ton container ship was $10 million, while gearless ships of 6,500 and 12,000 TEU averaged prices of $74 million and $105 million respectively.

I thought I was the only one who who noticed the inconsistency in the story. Bloggers can say anything just to generate traffic.

I have a friend and he's a brother who worked as a security officer from later part of 2003 to first quarter of 2006.
In the later part of 2005 he got another job with then v-mobile.
He combined the two jobs until first quarter of 2006 when left the security job.
In 2008 he left v-mobile for another job in the banking sector.
In 2009 he left the former bank for another banking job.
In 2010/11 he left the second banking job for another job with a PFA. STANBIC IBTC PENSION.
He left Nigeria with his family and is doing well where they are.
So change is possible for anybody including this "security officer" you are doubting. undecided

Yes oo. Then any music piece would have a theme and a storyline that was starting in verse 1 and concluded in verse 3 to a distinct beat.

One of the two greatest party hits then was Only You by 112 feat Biggie.

" Oh why I need to know, where we stand.
Do we share this special thing called love.
I know I do, but what about you?"

Hit them Up by Tupac always drove boys crazy and other songs like Water runs dry, Bended knees, The boy is mine and I believe I can fly by R Kelly.

If you were in Lagos/ Ogun axis you'll be looking forward to Top Ten countdown on Raypower and AIT Jamz...plus this lunch break music show by Jumoke Adegbesan before RMD married her.

Back then a good DJ knew what kind of songs to warm up with, get people on the dance floor and take them on a musical journey in a logical sequence.

now they won't even let one song reach the middle before changing to another unrelated one...meanwhile the DJ is blabbing the whole time instead of letting his fingers do the talking... especially in us nite clubs.
