Am looking for my wife here!

John Shiklam in Kaduna and Rebecca Ejiform The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and Project for Human Development (PHD), a civil society organisation, have asked President Muhammadu Buhari to resist any form of blackmail or pressure to repeal the on law same sex marriage in Nigeria as he visits President Barack Obama of the United States of America. The Director of Mobilisation of CAN, Mr. Sunday Oibe, in an interview with THISDAY in Kaduna, described the decision of yesterday the Supreme Court in America to legalise same-sex marriage as the highest form of ungodliness. He maintained that Muslims, Christians and animists in Nigeria had taken a unanimous stand against same sex marriages, declaring that there was no going back on the issue, no matter the amount of pressure or blackmail from any foreign nation. Oibe said: “President Buhari should not give in to any pressure from any quarters on the issue of same sex marriage. Whatever the agenda of his meeting with President Obama, our president is aware that Nigerians will not subscribe to same sex marriage.” He declared: “The judgement of God is upon anyone who subscribed to same sex marriage,” noting that Nigeria has taken an official position against same sex marriage. “If there is anything that unite Christians, Muslims and animists in this country, it is the issue of this same-sex marriage. “If America which was founded on the word of God has decided to be ungodly and taken position against God, the repercussion of their action is coming because Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed by God over the same sin that America has committed.” According to him, “When a nation takes an official position against God, it is doomed. America was founded on the premise of the word of God. If you see the currency of America, there is an inscription ‘In God We Trust.’ “This means that the founding fathers of the American nation depended on God during their struggles in their trying moments.” He said it was unfortunate that the American Supreme Court, in the name of human rights and freedom, has decided to undermine the thinking of the founding fathers of this nation that has reached the peak of greatness through the grace of God. He added that one of the things that Nigerians will continue to celebrate former President Goodluck Jonathan for, was his signing of the law against same sex marriage, despite opposition from some of the western nations, especially the US. Also, PHD at a rally in Lagos, against the backdrop of Buhari’s visit to the US, has urged Buhari not to listen to the US government on gay rights issue, so as to protect the laws and values of Nigeria. The theme of the rally was, ‘Gay Marriage: Obama, Please Leave Nigeria Alone.’ Buhari will today be at Washington DC on a four- day official visit, during which he will hold talks with President Obama and other senior officials of the US government. The Director-General of PHD, Mr. Jerry Okwuosa, said the rally was to hint Buhari on the fears by Nigerians that Obama might ask him to decriminalise “the Same Sex Prohibition Law of Nigeria.” According to him, this is a way for the US to promote gay rights, which is a part of America foreign policy. ”The US is now the major exporter of gay rights in the world. It has recently pressurised Uganda for a reverse of its anti-gay law. “Under the influence of the US, Mozambique has recently decriminalised its anti-gay law. At the moment, US is putting pressure on Kenya to legalise gay marriage. “President Obama is meeting with President Buhari tomorrow to discuss issues which include security, economy, Ebola and gay marriage legalisation in Nigeria. “Fear is being entertained that Obama might trade off US assistance to President Buhari’s government with shooting down Jonathan’s anti- gay law. “We are however, urging President Buhari to reject such a trade-off, ” he said. Also speaking, Mr. Sonnie Ekwowusi, a director of PHD, noted that the only way to avoid chaos in any society was for the legislature to make laws in accordance with the values and aspirations of the people. According to him, homosexuality is not Nigeria culture; it is a taboo or abomination. “Homosexuality is not our culture. Every society has its own values and should grow with those values. Nigeria has her own values and we must stick to our values and tradition. “Laws are made in consonant with the values of the people. Every country is interested in protecting what it holds dear. “Our view is that homosexuality is an acquired habit that ought to be eradicated and not be transformed into an acceptable human conduct by law (in Nigeria). “Our recommendation with regard to same sex marriage is absolute prohibition,” Ekwowusi said. The US Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, had stated that America would continue to pressurise Nigeria until it legalises same sex marriage. She made this known on July 13 during a live-web chat with journalists in Washington. The peaceful rally featured placards with inscriptions such as- ‘Obama, Please leave Nigeria Alone’; ‘Gay Marriage should Remain Illegal in Nigeria’; ‘Obama is Not God’; ‘Gay Marriage, Buhari Don’t Listen to Obama.’ The protesters, numbering about 50, including lawyers and youth leaders of both sexes, paraded from the Tafawa Balewa Square, through Lagos City Hall, to the MUSON Centre.

President Barack Obama is hosting Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari for a meeting Monday at the White House with the threat posed by Boko Haram militants expected to top the agenda. The two leaders, along with U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, will also likely discuss proposed political and economic reforms in Nigeria aimed at ending widespread corruption. The four-day trip is Buhari's first to Washington since being elected in March and taking office in May in a rare peaceful transition of power in Nigeria. The White House said the visit emphasizes U.S. "commitment to strengthening and expanding our partnership with Nigeria's new government" and supporting its people. Buhari will also have breakfast with Biden on Monday and later meet with West African diplomats, World Bank executives, and members of the U.S. Congress. He is scheduled to hold a town hall meeting with Nigerians on Tuesday. Both the U.S. and Nigeria appear eager to improve relations after years of strained ties under President Goodluck Jonathan. Nigerian officials had turned down some of the assistance the U.S. offered to combat Boko Haram, even after the militant group sparked international outrage with the kidnapping of more than 200 schoolgirls in May 2014.

1. Burn your blueprint.
Rid yourself of whatever fantasies you harbor
about the bliss of coupled life. They’re not
helping. There is no script, so don’t be
disappointed when your fairytale gets hijacked.
2. Forgive.
Didn’t Jesus say something about forgiving
someone not just seven times but seventy
times seven? That would be 490 times….which
should last you through your first 6 months.
Jesus underestimated because, remember, he
wasn’t married.
3. And forget.
If you forgive but don’t forget, did you really
forgive? I know people who claim to have
forgiven but still use every available
opportunity to bring it up. And if you don’t
want to forgive, forgetting works just as well.
4. Be a good teammate.
Life can come at you hard. One of the nice
things about marriage and relationships is
being able to have someone else in the bunker
when you’re getting shelled.
5. Grow.
If you still have the same desires, opinions and
beliefs at age 50 that you did at age 25, that’s
your own damn fault. You will not, and should
not, be the same person you were then.
6. And adapt.
Even if you stagnate, the person you’re in a
relationship with will change. Don’t fight it.
Embrace it, learn from it, be thankful for it.
7. Find your faith.
There is great comfort in believing in
something or someone beyond our crude
human existence. Explore this belief. Take this
journey together.
8. Travel together.
Travel forces couples to rely on one another in
unpredictable ways. It will also broaden your
worldview and the way you value your
relationship.
9. Travel separately.
I want to go to Australia and you want to go to
Maine? Cool. Take lots of pictures. See you in a
week.
10. Develop your own interests.
It seems counter-intuitive, but you will
enhance your relationship when you pursue
your separate interests.
11. Cultivate a wide, diverse circle of
friends.
One of the greatest joys of living is meeting
new people. And many of the people you meet
will likely make you appreciate your mate even
more.
12. Don’t keep score.
I know a couple who keeps track of the
number of times each partner completes a
household chore. Don’t do this. It’s exhausting.
And childish.
13. Exercise.
You owe it to each other to be in the best
physical health possible. The mental side
effects from exercise will also be beneficial.
14. Practice self-awareness.
Take frequent looks in the mirror. Reflect on
who you are and the contributions you are
making to your relationship. Are you being
judgmental? Unfair? Harsh? Hypercritical?
Defensive?
15. Admit that you’re wrong (even,
on occasion, when you aren’t).
This is both the easiest and hardest thing to do
on this list. But this simple gesture will pay
immeasurable dividends; it will help you grow
and it’s just the right thing to do.
16. Celebrate accomplishments big
and small.
Whether it’s a promotion at work or the police
officer let you off with just a warning, find
every occasion possible to toast your good
fortune.
17. Surprise one another.
Fill up her car. Let him sleep alone in the bed
once in a while. Buy some bacon.
18. It’s the good little things.
Holding the door, suggesting a movie night,
paying attention. The reward for these is
greater than the sum of the parts.
19. And it’s the bad little things.
Cracking your knuckles, spitting, clearing your
throat, picking your nose, chewing ice. These
are death by a thousand cuts to your
relationship.
20. Cultivate your finer qualities.
When do you ever have an opportunity to
really work on qualities that make you a better
person? In a strong relationship, you can do it
every single day. Qualities like patience,
loyalty, compassion, trust.
21. The bathroom is private.
If you think it’s quaint to brush your teeth
while I use the toilet, you’ll change your mind
about that eventually. Trust me.
22. Talk about sex (but not just right
before, during, or right after).
Sex is an important part of any relationship.
But for some reason couples don’t want to
discuss it unless they are in the throes of
passion. Don’t make sex a taboo subject.
23. Encourage each other.
We all have insecurities. Your relationship is
one place where you should be completely free
to reveal these and your spouse should help
you overcome them.
24. It’s okay to have secrets.
Even George Bailey slipped Violet Bick a $20
bill every now and then.
25. Avoid subtext.
This is a cowardly way to communicate. If you
have something to say, say it. Don’t hint about
it.
26. Put it down.
The toilet seat. Her cell phone. The beat.
27. Pick it up.
Your dirty sock. Your used tissue. The pace.
28. Don’t over-romanticize past (or
future) relationships.
You weren’t that great and your ex isn’t that
hot.
29. Never use the “s” word.
Don’t call each other “stupid.” That’s just stu….
not wise.
30. Offer solutions, not criticism.
Anyone can criticize. A good teammate (See
Rule 4) will offer a way out.
31. Read.
To escape or to expand. Either way, it helps.
32. You are equals.
It doesn’t matter which one of you makes the
most money. It doesn’t matter which one of
you has the better REO Speedwagon vinyl
collection. It doesn’t matter which one of you
has the best nickname. It doesn’t even matter
which one of you has the coolest food allergy.
33. Compliment each other.
Sincerely and often.
34. Respect each other’s friends.
You know your wife’s loud mouthed, insane
friend Cathy who thinks you have weak
bullshit and can’t believe you married her BFF?
See below.
35. Know when to keep your mouth
shut.
No list would be complete without the “Do
these jeans make my butt look big?” lesson.
36. Indulge each other’s passions.
Scrapbooking doesn’t count.
37. Lose your arbitrary moral code.
This list alone proves that I am the king of the
double standard. When I want to spend money
on a new set of golf clubs, it’s a good
investment. When my wife wants to spend
money on new kitchen countertops, she’s a
profligate. It’s not exactly fair.
38. Respect space and time.
Have we not evolved as a species or watched
enough Dr. Phil to realize our mate does not
want to answer the question “How was your
day?” the minute he/she walks in the door?
39. Take pride in your appearance.
Your marriage license doesn’t give you a free
pass to always wear sweat pants and T-shirts.
40. Maintain good hygiene.
Could your big toenail puncture a snow tire?
Could your breath peel wallpaper? Take care
of that, please. I don’t want to have to tell you
again.
41. Ask before you throw it away.
Don’t touch that broken, ceramic, animated
cactus tequila shot glass holder. I’m serious.
42. Invite his/her family to special
gatherings.
At least once. Thankfully, this may be all you
need.
43. Speaking of family, everyone
gets a holiday card and a birth
announcement.
Even your creepy Uncle Steve and their psycho
cousin Lisa.
44. Don’t be petty.
So I forgot to stop at the store to get your
prescription. Did you have to throw away my
ceramic cactus shot glass holder?
45. Be self-sufficient.
Learn to do your own laundry. Know how to
cook a meal; how to navigate the grocery
store; how to make an online purchase; how to
turn off the water to the house; how to erect a
Nerf basketball hoop; how to unclog a toilet.
46. Everything is fair game for a
joke.
This should be at the heart of everything you
do. I have not found a single thing that I have
been unable to eventually laugh about. If you
know this from the beginning, it makes things
a lot more fun.
47. Have good manners.
Don’t yell. Open the door. Help carry the
groceries. Cover your cough. Hold your gas.
48. Be responsible with money.
No one lives on love. You need money. If you
earned it, you will almost certainly respect it.
If you didn’t earn it, you must respect it even
more.
49. Remember to say thank you.
Even and especially when things don’t seem
like they need to be acknowledged.
50. Adapting beats abandoning.
There will be moments when you want to quit,
walk out, give up. You can do that. But you will
probably be doing so without giving due
consideration to the new life that awaits you.
Will you be better off in six months? 10 years?

I see

He said that he would still give his best to the state,
notwithstanding the inherited liabilities.
Lalong debunked insinuations that he was part of the
governors who went to President Muhammadu
Buhari to ask for help in clearing the backlog of
workers salaries because he had the option of
taking a loan.
He promised to improve on the quality of primary
and secondary education in the state.
Lalong said that he also had to contend with myriad
of other problems and challenges bequeathed to
him by the last administration in the state.
The governor said that this included a decaying and
faulty educational system.
He said that for any society to develop there was
need for a sound education system, adding that his
administration would leave nothing to chance to
ensure quality education.
Rev. Sister Mary Katlong, the Principal of the
college, said that there was need to improve the
standard of education in the state and the country in
general.
The principal expressed worry that Plateau came
last in a national secondary competition that was
held recently.
She therefore appealed that the governor should
mobilise all that was needed to put education on the
right pedestal.


There were 64 graduating students of the college of
which Juliet Nweke emerged the overall best
graduating student while Rachael Bernard was the
best graduating student in CISCO and computer
science. (NAN)

THE Nigerian Civil Defense and Security
Corps, (NCDSC ) , Delta State Command has
arrested seven suspected oil pipeline
vandals while ferrying 66, 000 liters of crude
oil from the state to neighbouring Anambra
state .
The suspects: Muhammadu Abdulkareem ,
Ifeanyi Agbo , Augustine Asemota , Endurance
Mordi, Ajulo Sunday , Ifeanyi Illoh and
Chiemer Ikechukwu , were arrested along
Kwale- Nssukwa road in Delta state on
Saturday .
Mrs. Beatrice Irabor, The state
Commandant , who paraded the suspects at
the headquarters of the command in Asaba
said tanker truck , driven by Muhammadu
Abdulkareem and assisted by Ifeanyi Agbo
containing 33, 000 liters of stolen crude oil
was seized.
She narrated that the Anti-Vandal Squad of
the NCDSC caught the suspects while
transporting the product in their truck and
container lorries with registration numbers ,
Delta LEH 206 XA , Delta 325 SKL and Edo
Auc 62 XA respectively, she said ,
“ The other two container trucks were also
loaded with 33,000 liters . They were
arrested at about 3a .m by our Anti- Vandals
Squad while conveying the illegal product to
Onitsha in Anambra state .”
She advised vandals and their sponsors
to abandon the crime or be forced out of it in
due course, “proper investigation will be
carried out on the suspects , after that,
prosecution will take place in accordance
with the law ,” she stated.
However , following the Inspector-General of
Police’ s directives on the strengthening of
security on the highways, the Delta State
Commissioner of Police , Usman Baba , on
Saturday allayed the fears of the residents
in the state by launching Safer Highways
Patrol Teams.
He dismissed the speculation that the
withdrawal of military check points across
the state and nationwide would not lead to
increase of crime.
“ The command wishes to use this medium
to inform the general public and road users
that although the ban on road blocks on the
highway is still in force , patrol men could
occasionally embark on stop and search as
part of crime preventive and detective
mechanisms ” , he said.

South- East and South-West groups have
faulted what they described as the lopsided
appointments made by President
Muhmammadu Buhari , recently .
The groups, Afenifere , Yoruba Unity Forum
( YUF), the Movement for Oodua Republic
( MOR) , Ohanaeze Ndigbo , The Igbo World
Union, Njiko Igbo Group and the Ohanaeze
Youth Council (OYC) , said that so far,
Buhari ’s appointments favoured the
Northern parts of the country, while
disregarding the federal character policy.
They pointed out that such lopsided
appointments had never happened in the
political history of the country.
The YUF Secretary General, Senator Anthony
Adefuye , warned that the earlier the situation
was reversed , the better, so as not to give
the impression that the North is
marginalising the South.
He said, “The fact that the President, Senate
President and the Speaker of the House of
Representatives are from the North is
worrisome . There is no way the North can
take all the principal offices and leave the
deputy to us . It has never happened before
and the earlier it is reverted, the better.
“ There is no way that can continue because
the South is not subordinate to the North .
The think- tank committee of the YUF will
meet soon to look at the issue and see how
it affects the Yoruba people . However , the
development is a wrong signal that must be
corrected.
“ What is more worrisome is that the
immediate past INEC Chairman, Prof.
Attahiru Jega, handed over to a Southerner
but the Presidency changed it to a
Northerner . We are watching and waiting to
see what comes out of this new
government .
“ Southerners are always careful and
concerned not to marginalise the North .
Therefore, I will not expect the North to
marginalise the South now that the
Presidency is shifted to the region. ”
Also , the National Publicity Secretary of
Afenifere , Yinka Odumakin, said that the
group was closely monitoring Buhari’ s
actions and taking note of them .
Also , George Akinola , the leader of MOR,
warned that Nigeria was heading towards
total conflict should the situation continue.
Meanwhile , the President General of
Ohanaeze Ndigbo , Chief Gary Enwo -
Igariwey , advised Buhari to respect the
principle of federal character when making
appointments.
He said: “We expect the President to
recognise other nationalities that make up
Nigeria . Elections are over, it is time for
governance. We expect that the principle of
federal character, which is constitutional,
should be respected.
“ It is important that in making his
appointments, the President should
recognise that there are six geo - political
zones in the country and it is imperative that
he carries all of them along in the spirit of
nation building and as a statesman .”
The Igbo World Union and the Ohanaeze
Youth Council described the president ’ s
actions as a threat to the corporate
existence of Nigeria

The OYC national president , Mazi
Okechukwu Isiguzoro , said : “ Buhari should
not abuse his privileged position as the
President of Nigeria for the moment. He
should not forget our federal system but
reflect the federal character in his
appointments.
“ We are warning him to drop the Northern
agenda and govern Nigeria in line with the
constitution which he swore to protect. We
will hold him by his statement that ‘he is for
nobody and for everybody’ except he now
wants to tell us that he is the President of
the North alone.
“ Jonathan appointed Northerners as his
National Security Adviser, Defence Minister,
Inspector- General of Police, Chief of
Defence Staff etc. But so far, Buhari has
shown us that he has no regard for other
parts of the country.”
In the same vein, the president general of
Igbo World Union, Dr. Mishak Nnanta ,
advised Buhari not to give in to any ill -
advice from individuals with parochial
interests .

some gals on here will not concentrate on the story..
they will just focused on his pe^is

"I thought this would never happen but it is time
for me to say goodbye to Chelsea. The club I have
lived every single minute for since joining in July
2004, the club in which I thought I'd hang my
gloves and boots one day and finish my career.
But life doesn't always turn out the way you think
it will.
"Since 2004 it has been an incredible journey with
so many highs and not many lows. We have
managed to win every single English trophy as well
as the Europa League and the biggest of all -
Champions League. Looking back at all the
achievements, including our first-ever league
double in 2010, back-to-back titles in 2005 and
2006, and multiple EPL and FA Cup wins, I couldn't
be more proud! As a team we made history
together!
"Last summer, things changed and I understood I
was no longer the first-choice keeper but I felt it
was not the right time for me to go. During the
season it became clear that my situation would not
improve and as I know I am not at the stage of my
career when I want to be on the bench, I made my
decision to move on and look for new challenges.
"The limited playing time gave me the chance to
refresh and rest mentally as well as make me
realise just how much I enjoy playing football at
the highest level, because I missed it badly every
game day I was not involved. I have the same
commitment to football, the same motivation and
the same hunger for success as I had at the
beginning of my career and I love the challenges
brought by the top-quality players you face while
playing the Premier League - simply the best and
the most challenging league in the world.
"That's why I spoke to Mr Abramovich about me
staying in the Premier League and I'd like to thank
him from the bottom of my heart for his support in
this matter. It means so much to me because
without him Chelsea would not be where it is now.
He deserves huge credit for what he has done for
the club and for all of us.
"I would like to personally thank everybody
involved with Chelsea for their support - all the
players, staff, managers and all the coaching staff
I have had the pleasure of working with over the
years. Without them it would have been impossible
for us to have achieved such success.
"But most important of all - a huge thank-you goes
to all the Chelsea fans. I did everything for you and
you gave me your love back. I'll never forget it. It
will stay with me forever. We will meet again but
this time I will be in the other goal - I hope you will
remember our history and understand it is time for
me to begin a new adventure.
"I wish everybody at Chelsea all the best for the
new season and for the future. Thank you for an
incredible 11 years."
