Nigeria’s military has launched air strikes on a Boko Haram camp, killing several Islamists, near a northeastern college campus where insurgents massacred over 78 students at the weekend, a spokesman said Thursday. “We tracked the Boko Haram terrorists to their camp in the forest outside Gujba,” military spokesman in Yobe state Lazarus Eli said of the Tuesday operation. “Fighter jets bombarded the camp while troops launched a ground offensive, which left several terrorists dead,” Eli added. On Sunday, heavily armed Boko Haram gunmen attacked an agricultural college in Gujba, killing 40 students as they slept in their dorms. Gujba is roughly 30 kilometres (18 miles) from Yobe’s capital of Damaturu. “The whole camp was destroyed in the raid and we are on the trail of fleeing members of the terrorist group,” Eli said. The military has previously issued statements following major Boko Haram attacks, boasting of successes which are often difficult to verify. Eli said “15 suspected terrorists” have been arrested around Gujba. The weekend school massacre cast further doubt on the success of an ongoing military campaign, launched in May, which is aimed at crushing the four-year insurgency. More than 100 people have been killed in a spate of school attacks since June, while dozens of others have been slaughtered in violence across the northeast, Boko Haram’s historic stronghold. The insurgents have said they are fighting to create an Islamic state in Nigeria’s mainly Muslim north, but their demands have repeatedly shifted. According to an estimate made earlier this year, the insurgency has cost more than 3,600 lives, including killings by the security forces. The current figure is likely much higher. Nigeria is Africa’s most populous country and top oil producer, roughly divided between the mainly Muslim north and a predominately Christian south. AFP

Military special forces on Wednesday carried out a major operation against the Boko Haram fighters at a forest region between Borno and Yobe states. A security source said the special forces, who carried out an aerial surveilance of the area, discovered a major camp of the insurgents some kilometers away from the Yobe State School of Agriculture, Gujba, where about 90 students were murdered on Sunday. The source said that the operation was one of the biggest offensives of the Nigerian military against the Boko Haram since the declaration of the emergency rule by President Goodluck Jonathan in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states. Investigations revealed that three Alpha jets, several heavy artillery weapons and a large number of ground forces of the Division 7 of the Nigerian Army in Borno and Yobe states participated in the operation. Although, the source could not give the casualty figure in the operation, he stated that the camp was one of the largest to have been discovered and could contain hundreds of insurgents. It was further stated that the entire forest was engulfed in a thick fire as at the time of filing the reports. A highly placed Defence Headquarters source said that the military devised “a strategy to box them in” to prevent them from escaping during the operation. It was learnt that the men of the Joint Task Force in Yobe and those in Maiduguri were deployed simultaneously alongside three Alpha jets of the Nigerian Air Force during the Wednesday raid by the military. The source said that the Nigerian military sustained the fierce attack on the terrorists’ enclave all through the operation that lasted several hours. The source said, “The operation today was a massive one. Heavy artillery guns were deployed, Air Force, and ground troops from Borno and Yobe were deployed in large number.”

Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, has said that the late Ghanaian diplomat and poet, Kofi Awoonor and himself could have been together at the Storymoja/Hay Literature Festival held in Nairobi, Kenya. He said he was invited to the same festival but could not attend. Awoonor was killed by terrorists last Saturday at the Westgate Shopping Mall shooting in Nairobi. Soyinka said two commitments: a public conversation with a very brave individual, Karima Bennoune, an Algerian national, whose trenchant publication – Your Fatwa Does Not Apply Here, and the annual conference of international investigators in Tunis, were responsible for his inability to attend the festival. He said: “My absence was particularly regrettable, because I had planned to make up for my failure to turn up for the immediate prior edition. Participant or absentee however, this is one edition we shall not soon forget. It was at least two days after the listing of Kofi Awoonor among the victims that I even recollected the fact that the Festival was ongoing at that very time. “With that realisation came another: that Kofi and I could have been splitting a bottle at that same watering hole in between events and at the end of each day. My feelings, I wish to state clearly, did not undergo any changes. The emotions of rage, hate and contempt remained on the same qualitative and quantitative levels,” he added. Soyinka spoke in Lagos yesterday during a memorial reading session tagged Humanity and Against and held in honour of the late Ghanaian poet. He described the late Awoonor as a passionate African who gave primacy of place to values derived from his Ewe heritage. “That, in turn, means that he was thoroughly imbued with the spirit of ecumenism towards other systems of belief and cultural usages – this being the scriptural ethos that permeates belief practices of most of this continent. We mourn our colleague and brother, but first, we denounce his killers, the virulent sub-species of humanity who bathe their hands in innocent blood,” he added. Renowned poet, Prof JP Clark explained why Soyinka and himself were not at the funeral of the late Chinua Achebe at Ogidi, Anambra State, blaming it on politicians that hijacked the funeral. He noted that Prof Soyinka and himself did not sit and plot action on whether or not to attend Achebe’s funeral in Ogidi. “Politicians hijacked the Achebe’s funeral. I said to myself, if there is life after death, Achebe would be laughing at the politicians. So, writers could not have found a space in Achebe’s funeral. From the President to the Governors, they hijacked it,” he noted. Clark said critics might be wondering why a memorial is being held in honour of Awoonor in Lagos unlike when Chinua Achebe died. President of the Association of Nigerian Authors (ANA), Prof Remi Raji, who read from his collection of poems, The Fire Next Time, said of the late Ghanaian poet: “African literature has indeed lost an influential voice. The name, Kofi Awoonor, was very present in our minds as young students. Though I never met him in person, his writings have been influential. The ANA has sent a condolence letter to the Ghana authority. Today’s memorial is very instructive. His death is a reflection of the urban barbarisms in the globe today.” Other scholars who read excerpts at the memorial were Prof Kole Omotoso, Prof Femi Osofisan, Dr. Wale Okediran and Lola Shoneyin.

END TIME THINGS

SERIOUS CONJI NEVER CATCH YOU

SORRY IT JUST END TIME THINGS



THE GUY IS JUST FUSTRATED

The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics is to resume its suspended strike on Friday following the inability of the Federal Government to resolve outstanding issues with the union. ASUP Chairman, Mr. Clement Chirman, told newsmen in Jos on Sunday that “the frustrating inertia of the Federal Government to convincingly fulfil any part of the agreement reached with the union before the suspension of the earlier strike on July 17, 2013 shows that government is not serious.” Chirman said that the ASUP’s National Executive Council after its 75th meeting at the Federal Polytechnic, Bida, Niger State, resolved that the strike would be total and indefinite until the government showed commitment to honouring the agreement with the union. He expressed dismay at government penchant for breaking agreement, adding that “since the union suspended its earlier strike in July, government has shown no commitment to fulfilling any of the promises it made to the union.” The union in its communiqué after the meeting in Bida decried “the anti-labour stance of the National Assembly as exemplified by the recently proposed removal of minimum wage from the exclusive legislative list of the constitution to the concurrent list, as well as the proposed legislation against declaration of industrial strike by unions in the tertiary sector.”

President Goodluck Jonathan on Sunday offered the clearest sign yet that his administration was in no haste to resolve the three-month-old strike by university lecturers, calling their demands “politicized” and urging the lecturers to return to work for the sake of the students. On his fifth presidential media chat on the Nigerian Television Authority, NTA, the president said the nation’s bitter politics had crept into the strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, and was responsible for the refusal of the lecturers to suspend their action despite the government’s effort. “In the past, they did not go this far when strikes were called off; but now politics has gone into everything,” the president said. He did not elaborate when pressed further by a five-member interview panel on his claim about ASUU demands being politicized. Mr. Jonathan said his administration had made concessions for the strike to be resolved, and has demonstrated remarkable commitment to addressing the massive infrastructure in the universities, one of the key demands ASUU has made. He said the lecturers have refused to accept the government’s explanations that broad range reforms cannot be achieved instantly. “ASUU strike is very very unfortunate,” Mr Jonathan, himself a former lecturer, said. He said crisis in education, in developing countries would always continue. The president said the biggest indication to his government’s commitment to such reforms was the decision to catalogue the perennial rot afflicting all the universities. “Throughout this time, no government has taken inventory of all the problems in federal and state universities,” the president said. “We said this must change. But it cannot change overnight. So for ASUU to go on strike over infrastructure, they need to understand that we are serious about intervening starting with N100 billion.” The president’s remarks on the strike was his first since lecturers downed tools in June, asking for improved pay and better funding for universities. They vowed not to resume until the government fully implements the last agreement both sides reached in 2009. The lecturers have vowed not to accept partial implementation of the agreement, with multiple intervention by the Senate and the House of Representatives stalemated. The government said the challenges of improved funding requires more time, and claims it has made concessions by providing initial funding. As the negotiations deadlock, millions of students have remained stranded at home with each claim of quick resolution to the crisis turning out unrealistic. Mr Jonathan’s comments on Sunday provided the strongest indication yet, that, save a change in decision, students will remain at home longer as the crisis stretches without a resolution. Asked specifically what the way forward would be for the strike, the president said he was calling on the lecturers to resume work for the sake of the Nigerian children and to realize that the government was committed to improving education. He said the 2009 agreement which ASUU has harped upon, was negotiated by officials incapable for such a responsibility as the agreement was “not implementable”. “Even if we have all the money in the world we cannot change things overnight,” he said. “The members of ASUU are our brothers and sisters, they should look at these young people and look at the commitment of govt.”

My husband and I are in a dilemma, honestly a way out is not visible or should I say we are yet to get one. This is because the issue at hand is too evident to be ignored and my husband and I are so confused. I am fortunate to be raised by both parents and we had a happy family and a good background. My parents were into business and we were really comfortable. Their marriage children was a good and perfect one and my younger sister and I used to pray and wish we would eventually marry a man like my father. He was our stereotype of a good husband and the way he treated mum, none of us would ever believe that dad had extra marital affairs. Tunde, my husband was not that lucky, he lost his father at a very tender age, he told me he died ina motor accident when he was two years old while his elder brother was five. His mother raised the two of them alone. Sherefused to remarry despite pleas and advice from family and friends. His mother eventually had a relationship with a man friend of hers when both of them were away in school. Adekunle, his elder brother travelled abroad for his Masters, and he was in the university too. He told me he never met the man,but that his mother always told them about him and sometimes when he helped out with their school fees and extras in the house. According to my husband, the said man, (his mother’s secret friend) was instrumental to his going abroad for his Master’s degree too and that was where we met. When we both finished our studies, we stayed back and started working. It was easy for me because all my siblings did the same and Tunde’s brother too was there to help out as all ofus were together in Britain. According to him, during our stay in the United Kingdom, his mother informed both of them that she was pregnant for her male friend, but he said then thathe wasn’t prepared for that type of commitment in their relationship. She never considered abortion as an option, so she kept the baby. As at that time, she had gone into business herself and she was doing well. With the support of her children, she was able to give their kid sister a very good and sound education. The pregnancy and the birth of the baby girl actually put an end to his mother’s relationship with her friend, but because she is mature and comfortable, she was able to move on without a problem and according to her, the little baby was just what she needed at thattime since her children were grown and away from home. We got married in Britain and both parents attended our marriage and played their roles as our parents. There was nothing like animosity between my father and my mother –in-lawand nobody would believe they had ever met themselves before our wedding and traditional introduction. My husband and I came into the country few years back, because we felt it was high time we did. You won’t believe that my father loved my husband so much that he encouraged him go into his business and he actually helped him to grow it. Both our parents have had cause to meet each other several times during family celebrations, but we had no cause to suspect they were keeping anything from us. To the glory of God, the little girl has finished her studies, done her NYSC and even travelled to the US for her Master’s degree. She is back home and wants to get married. You won’t believe the shock my husband received when his mother told him who his little sister’s father is. I also found it difficult to believe when he told me that my father is his sister’s father. This is shocking, strange and annoying. According to my mother-in-law, she wouldn’t have raised this because she already knew what peoples reaction would be, but his sister insisted on knowing who her father is or was. Even if he was no longer living, she deserved to know. She told him and felt there was no need keeping it a secret any longer from us since she had already told his sister. The problem now is, I don’t even know what she expected from me. I also don’t know what to do? Should I ask my father? How would my mother take it? Then, what would happen if my sister-in-law insists that her father should be visible in her wedding ceremony? I am sure you would ask if we didn’t guess by her surname. Shehad always bore my mother-in-law’s maiden name. I don’t even know what my husband’s thinking is or how he feels aboutmy father now. The worst thing is that he is not talking. Please, Taiwo, how does one handle a situation like this? I am happily married with two children. My husband and I love each other; I don’t want this situation or anything to destroy my life.pls what your advice on this.

Abubakar Baraje led faction of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has advised President Goodluck Jonathan not to seek re-election in 2015. The group said in a statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday that while the President had before 2011 elections promised not to seek a second tenure of office, its review of current state of the nation and pulse of Nigerians showed that his 2015 ambition will also not be in the best interest of the country. The breakaway faction of PDP said this in a statement it issued in reaction to the President’s affirmation of his right to a second tenure of office as stipulated in the Nigeria constitution last Sunday in New York. In the statement which was signed by Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, its national publicity secretary, Baraje led PDP said though the President is yet to declare his intention to run in 2015, he has given enough clues that he is working to do so. The group recalled that the President has similarly affirmed his right to a second term of office in a affidavit in response to the suit instituted at an Abuja High Court by a PDP chieftain, Cyriacus Njoku, seeking to stop him from contesting the 2015 presidential election. “We are worried that Mr. President is intent on running despite his earlier promise not to do so and in spite of the wise counsel of well-meaning Nigerians, including respected elder statesmen. In February, 2011 while interacting with Nigerians and diplomats working in the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) and the African Union (AU) in Ankara, Turkey, President Jonathan clearly stated: “I would have loved that the Nigerians in Diaspora vote this year (2011) but to be frank with you, that is going to be difficult now. Presently, the law does not allow the voting outside Nigeria and so this year Nigerians in Diaspora will not vote but I will work towards it by 2015 even though I will not be running for election.” “Mr. President went ahead to add: “Four years is enough for anyone in power to make significant improvement and if I can’t improve on power within this period, it then means I cannot do anything even if I am there for the next four years.” “This is a historical fact which Mr. President himself cannot deny now since he had two years to deny that statement but never did so. “How does Mr. President want Nigerians and the entire world to see him for this volte face? Why can he not keep his words as a man of honour instead of allowing himself to be misled by selfish advisers to go back on his words, thereby overheating the polity? “Mr. President should heed the advice of well-meaning distinguished personalities such as constitutional law guru, Prof. Ben Nwabueze (SAN) and Archbishop Emeritus of the Catholic Archdiocese of Lagos, His Eminence, Anthony Cardinal Olubunmi Okogie, all of whom have advised him to correctly read the handwriting on the wall and stay away from the 2015 presidential race. “By 2015, President Jonathan would have served our nation for six solid years. “This, surely, is enough time for him to achieve whatever he is capable of doing for Nigeria. “What else is he looking for that is making him desperate to participate in the 2015 presidential election despite warnings that doing so may spark a chain of events capable of culminating into the country’s disintegration, thereby bringing to pass the predictions of Lord Lugard that Nigeria as a nation by 2014 maybe history, which was later confirmed by the USA Think-Tank that Nigeria may disintegrate by 2015. “Apart from all these, should President Jonathan contest and win by 2015 it means he would have spent ten years in office and will be sworn in three times as the President of Nigeria against the Provisions of the country’s constitution. “We wish to appeal to Mr. President to abandon this ill-advised move and save our nation from catastrophe.

We thought we were almost going to get married but it didn’t work out.I met somebody else and it didn’t work out again so I decided to just concentrate on my work.

Nigerian, Obabiyi Aisha Ajibola, tearfully prayed and recited Koranic verses as she won a world beauty pageant exclusively for Muslim women in the Indonesian capital Wednesday, a riposte to the Miss World contest that has sparked hardline anger.

The 20 finalists, who were all required to wear headscarves, put on a glittering show for the final of Muslimah World, strolling up and down a catwalk in elaborately embroidered dresses and stilettos.

But the contestants from six countries were covered from head to foot, and as well as beauty they were judged on how well they recited Koranic verses and their views on Islam in the modern world.

After a show in front of an audience of mainly religious scholars and devout Muslims, a panel of judges picked Obabiyi Aishah Ajibola from Nigeria as the winner.


Aisha Ajibola crowned Miss World


While the event in a Jakarta shopping mall paled in comparison to Miss World on the resort island of Bali, in which scores of contestants are competing, Ajibola was nevertheless overwhelmed.

Upon hearing her name, the 21-year-old, a student of the University of Lagos, knelt down and prayed, then wept as she recited a Koranic verse.

She said it was “thanks to almighty Allah” that she had won the contest. She received 25 million rupiah ($2,200) and trips to Mecca and India as prizes.


The newly crowned the Muslimah World 2013 Obabiyi Aishah Ajibola


Ajibola told AFP before the final that the event “was not really about competition”.

“We’re just trying to show the world that Islam is beautiful,” she said.

Organisers said the pageant challenged the idea of beauty put forward by the British-run Miss World pageant, and also showed that opposition to the event could be expressed non-violently.

Eka Shanti, who founded the pageant three years ago after losing her job as a TV news anchor for refusing to remove her headscarf, bills the contest as “Islam’s answer to Miss World”.

“This year we deliberately held our event just before the Miss World final to show that there are alternative role models for Muslim women,” she told AFP.

“But it’s about more than Miss World. Muslim women are increasingly working in the entertainment industry in a sexually explicit way, and they become role models, which is a concern.”

Hosted by Dewi Sandra, an Indonesian actress and pop star who recently hung up her racy dresses for a headscarf, the pageant featured both Muslim and pop music performances, including one about modesty, a trait the judges sought in the winner.

The pageant, which also featured bright Indonesian Islamic designer wear, is a starkly different way of protesting Miss World than the approach taken by Islamic radicals.

Snowballing protest movement

Thousands have taken to the streets in Indonesia in recent weeks to protest Miss World, denouncing the contest as “pornography” and burning effigies of the organisers.

Despite a pledge by Miss World organisers to drop the famous bikini round, radical anger was not appeased and the protest movement snowballed.

The government eventually bowed to pressure and ordered the whole pageant be moved to the Hindu-majority island of Bali, where it opened on September 8.

Later rounds and the September 28 final were to be held in and around Jakarta, where there is considerable hardline influence.

But there are still fears that extremists may target the event — the US, British and Australian embassies in Jakarta have warned their nationals in recent days of the potential for radical attacks.

More than 500 contestants competed in online rounds to get to the Muslimah World final in Indonesia, one of which involved the contenders comparing stories of how they came to wear the headscarf.

The contest was first held in 2011 under a different name and was only open to Indonesians, Shanti said, but after the media began comparing it to Miss World, it was rebranded as a Muslim alternative to the world-famous pageant.

Because of its popularity, organisers accepted foreign contestants this year for the first time, with Iran, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Brunei, Nigeria and Indonesia represented.

Members of Nigeria’s House of Representatives returned from their eight weeks vacation on Tuesday and were sucked straight into the crisis rocking the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

There have been speculations that the division within the Nigeria ruling PDP which has led to the creation of a faction of the party may result in a major crisis in the National Assembly where the party has majority of members.

Over 50 members of the House and about 27 Senators have already pledged loyalty to the breakaway faction of the party led by Alhaji Kawu Baraje and supported by seven governors elected on the party’s platform.

The speculation became real when Honourable Aminu Tambuwal, the Speaker informed members at the plenary that the leadership of the New PDP would visit the caucus to address them on activities of the party.
He read out the request of the new PDP convened in a letter addressed to the Speaker signed by the secretary of the party, Chief Olagunsoye Oyinlola.

“Those of us in the leadership who are members of the PDP have unanimously agreed to crave the indulgence of this group to visit us. We will listen to them and they will go,” Tambuwal who explained that the meeting will take place after the sitting said.

But the faction loyal to the main PDP led by Alhaji Bamanga Tukur immediately expressed their disapproval of the visit with the shouts of ‘no, no, no.’


Pandemonium in House of Reps. Photo: The Punch

As the situation became rowdy, members loyal to the Baraje faction countered with shout of “yes, yes.” The protest lasted for about 20 minutes.

It was later learnt that some members were also protesting what they thought was a neglect of a similar letter of intention to visit members from the Tukur faction.

“I think I need to clarify two points. One, there was a communication from our leader, Alhaji Bamanaga Tukur, on the same issue that he wanted to come and also address the House but he withdrew his letter only this morning and that’s why I did not read it. The whole of this was not supposed to take place on the floor of the House, it is a PDP caucus issue,” Tambuwal said on why he refused to read the letter from Tukur.

But real pandemonium broke out when the leaders of the breakaway faction of PDP led by Baraje arrived National Assembly for the visit around 3.30 pm. alongside governors Aliyu Wamakko (Sokoto); Babangida Aliyu (Niger); Rabiu Kwankwaso (Kano); Romiti Amaechi (Rivers); Sule Lamido (Jigawa); Murtala Nyako (Adamawa); and Abdul-Fatai Ahmed (Kawara).

A member loyal to the Tukur faction identified as Henry Ofongo from Bayelsa State raised a point of order as members of the new PDP were being introduced to the annoyance of lawmakers on the opposing camp and this resulted in a free for all fight in which chairs and other available objects were freely used.

Ofongo had earlier led some Representatives including Betty Apiafi (Rivers); Bethel Amadi (Imo); Kingsley Chinda (Rivers); Bitrus Kaze (Plateau) and others to Room 0.28 venue of the event.

And his group and other members not favourably disposed to the new PDP shouts of ‘No!No! No!’ and ‘Tukur, Tukur’ accompanied by thunderous claps ensured that it was impossible to hear Baraje’s speech.

Chairs and all available objects were used to hit Ofongo who responded with blows thrown at his attackers. It then became a free for all fight between supporters of the two factions.

House of Rep members from Kano especially led the counter-charge at Ofongo.

Calm was restored briefly when Tambuwal mounted the rostrum to deliver his speech, but as soon as he mentioned “leaders of our great party”, supporters of Tukur faction of PDP took over again, but this time, the chant was” PDP Goodluck! PDP Goodluck!!

While the meeting with the Representatives was characterized by rowdiness, the Baraje faction of PDP and the seven governors had earlier met with Senate President David Mark and other principal officers of the upper chamber in a more convivial atmosphere.

Baraje had listed the demands of his group among other things to include recall of governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State from suspension as well as his recognition as the elected chairman of the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF).

The group also demanded the reversal of the dissolution of the Party Executives in Rivers and Adamawa states, removal of Alhaji Bamanga Tukur as National Chairman of the party, strict adherence to party constitution and what it described as “third term from the back door.”

In his response, Senator David Mark urged members of PDP to come together to make the party stronger and more united even as he affirmed that he will never defect to any other party.

The Senate President also asked other members of PDP not to leave the party. “We are stronger and better as one big, strong and united party. We need to work together and make our democracy sustainable,” Senator Mark said while emphasizing the need for honesty and objectivity in the search for solutions to problems confronting the party.

He also said law makers elected on the platform of the party will remain united and cohesive and that the leadership of the National Assembly has no intention to declare any member seat vacant on account of the crisis rocking the PDP. Senator Mark said he will stand for justice, fairness and equity in the crisis rocking the party.

A 32-year-old man, Yaw Atta, butchered his wife, Adjoa Kumiwaa, with a cutlass because she did not return GHc1 (Ghana cedi) balance he asked her to return after giving her GHc5 for supper.

According to report, Yaw asked her to use GHc4 as money to prepare supper and reserve the remaining GHc1 for him, which he intended to use for palmwine and on returning from the farm demanded the change from his wife.

According to the eye witness, the wife declined to give the money to him, telling him that she had used all the money to prepare food and that the money did not even suffice.

On hearing that the wife had used all the money, he got angry and threatened tobutcher her with his farm cutlass, which he eventually did. He butchered her with the cutlass mercilessly.

The near-death incident drew the attention of the public with some men intervening to rescue Adjoa Kumiwaa from being killed and Yaw Atta fled the scene to avoid police arrest.

Adjoa Kumiwaa has since been taken to the Interberton Government Hospital in Cape Coast for treatment.

Reports say the issue has since been handed over to the Assin Nyankumasi Police for investigation

So, one day I met his father at a hotel where I went to do supplies:
Since that day my life has not been the same again. The man has been spoiling me with cash and I have been keeping it hot for him in bed, not that am proud about it but I need money and my guy is not helping.

The problem now is that his father wants to marry me since he is separated from my guy's mum and he said I should forget about his son, after I told him about us. He told me his son is not responsible. Truly, I love the father more than his son now. But I've dated my guy for 10 months and most of his friends already know us as lovers.

Pls my headache is how to tell him about me and his dad and our intentions to get married without getting him too angry that he will do something bad to me? I want to go to his house and tell him. Pls help!
