When God decides its your turn to shine

In a sleepy village known as Slovo Park near Siyabuswa, South
Africa, villagers were torn with joy and surprise as they witnessed a
rather strange wedding where a mother and son exchanged wedding
vows.
The son, a traditional healer from Siyabuswa in Mpumalanga, said
he married his biological mother in awedding ceremony to appease
hisancestors. He now calls his mother “my wife”.
On Sunday more than 2000 people turned up to witness the
wedding of Buti Mphethi, 28, to his mother Francinah Makunyane,
62.
But it wasn’t the kind of marriage where a man takes a wife to love
and have children.
Buti Mhethi married his mother so that she could be accepted into
the Mphethi family.
“The ancestors will reward Buti for what he has done today,” said
his 62-year-old mother, Francinah, whose family name used to be
Makunyane.
Now she is a proud member of the Mphethi family.
But it wasn’t an easy decision for ButiMphethi who dropped out of
his second year studies in sound engineering at the Tshwane
University of Technology in 2003 to become a sangoma. He felt it
was a calling from his ancestors.
When the ancestors first told him to marry his own mother he flatly
refused, and that’s when his troubles began.
The problem was that his father never paid lobola (Bride price) for
his mother and so she was never married and fully accepted into
the family.
Buti said: “My ancestors came to me in a dream while I was a
student at the Tshwane University of Technology in 2003.
“I heeded the call to become a sangoma. But when they came up
with the idea that I should marry my own mother, I flatly refused.”
Buti then took his own wife. But in the four years of their marriage,
she could not give him a child.
He also could not sleep peacefully as bad dreams kept him awake
every night.
Then, without any explanation, his wife left him. His younger
brother’s marriage also didn’t work out and his wife left him as well.
That was when the two brothers realized that they had to heed the
ancestors’ instructions or they would never be happy.
So on Saturday, Buti tied the knot with his mother.
He gave his “in-laws” two cows, and spent R14 000 on the wedding
alone.
“I’m glad that I have finally appeased my ancestors and ensured
that my mother is formally accepted in the family. She is now an
Mphethi, as she should have been long ago,” he said.
Buti’s parents separated 15 years ago. His father, William Mphethi,
currently has four wives.
Buti’s mum Francinah said she was very happy because she never
believed that she would ever get married and be an Mphethi.
“I am old and getting married was something that I forgot about a
long time ago,” she said.
“But the ancestors will reward Buti for what he has done today.”

Dis fine girl? I go prefer go jail on her behalf...... Ironically

Good morning! Here are 10 things you need to know this morning.

1. President Muhammadu Buhari has appointed Tijjani Mohammed Abdullahi as the Director-General (Budget).

Abdullahi, a fellow of the Certified National Accountants of Nigeria, and a banker with vast experience in managing public finance, has replaced the ex-Director-General (Budget), Mr. Yahaya Gusau.


The new Director-General (Budget) is expected to work with the Minister of Budget and National Planning to efficiently deliver on the mandates of the Budget Office of the Federation.

2. The Federal Government has announced the dissengagement of the heads of the six information-related parastatals under the Ministry of Information and Culture.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, announced this during a meeting he held with topshots of the agencies on Monday.

Those affected were heads of the Nigerian Television Authority, Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria, Voice of Nigeria, News Agency of Nigeria, Nigerian Broadcasting Commission and the National Orientation Agency.


3. In a related development, the federal government has announced the sack of those in charge of 20 other parastatals.

Those affected include the Industrial Training Fund, ITF; Petroleum Technology Development Fund, PTDF; New Partnership for Africa’s Development, NEPAD and among others.

4. President Muhammadu Buhari has appointed a former member of the House of Representatives, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, as his Senior Special Assistant on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora.

Abike Dabiri, an ace journalist, who was very vocal during the 2015 election, played various roles in the All Progressives Congress’ campaign.
Her appointment takes immediate effect.

5. Former senate president, David Mark has claimed that his opponent in the forthcoming rerun in Benue South, Dan Onjeh was planning to kill him.

Mark has since petitioned the IGP, alleging that his life was under threat.

However, Onjeh in a swift reaction, described the claims as baseless and unfounded, asserting that his opponent had seen his imminent defeat, hence his loud cry.

6. President Muhammadu Buhari has approved a two- year extension of the Presidential Amnesty Programme.

The programme is now expected to end in 2017.

7. Lt Col Ojogbane Adegbe, a former ADC to immediate past president, Goodluck Jonathan has denined ever being arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

Adegbe also debunked a statement credited to him that if he was forced to speak on what went under the bridge in the past government, Nigeria would boil.

8. Najatu Muhammad, one of the staunch supporters of President Muhammadu Buhari has turned down her appointment as chairperson, governing council of the Dutse Federal University.

Muhammad, whose appointment was announced, alongside 12 other persons on Saturday, said she was not consulted before her appointment was announced in the media.

If you Senators are doing your job properly, you wouldn't need a bulletproof car

The Project Manager of a Chinese civil engineering and construction company, Etim Abak, on Monday told the Senate Committee on the Federal Capital Territory that former President Olusegun Obasanjo awarded the Abuja Rail Project in 2007 without an engineering design or a Memorandum of Understanding.

The Minister of FCT and current governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, allegedly signed the $841.645,898m contract based on an uncalculated estimate.

The committee was also told that the contract, which was for 60.67-kilometre rail project, was inflated by $10m per km and that the length was later reduced to 45km without refund of the cost for the 15.67 km that was dropped off from the project.

The Senate committee, led by Dino Melaye, who were at the site of the project to carry out oversight functions, therefore, demanded the refund of $195,878,296.74 being the amount for the 15.67km that was cut out, from the Chinese firm handling the project.



Abak told senators that the contract was signed by the then FCT minister without design and MoU, and that it was carried out based on conceptual design.

Abak said, “The contract was awarded based on conceptual design and estimates were not properly done. There was no formal design submitted and rail bridges and crossover bridges were not captured in the contract.”

Melaye said his findings revealed that the rail project was inflated by over $10m per km and wondered why such an act was perpetrated by the handlers of the project.

The senator added that the contract sum was $841.645,898m and that the project completion period was 48 months while the scope of work was 60.67km standard gauge, with double railway tracks and associated permanent way within the FCT.

He wondered why the 60.67km project was later reduced to 45. 245km without reduction in its cost.

He said, “Now, you have reduced the length of the standard gauge from 60.67km to 45.245km, meanwhile, there is no concomitant reduction if you juxtapose the length in kilometres and the reduction in terms of the cost.

“If we are to spend $841m for 60.67km and now you have reduced to 45.245km and the only reduction in terms of monetary value is from $841.6m to $823m and with a reduction of just about $17m, that to me is not commensurate to the reduction in terms of length.

“The Federal Government has so far invested N31.5bn and another N7.6bn from the SURE-P fund and if you put these together, we have altogether N39.1bn invested in the rail project, leaving the balance of N113. 233,155.32.

“The N3bn proposed in the 2016 national budget for the FCT was for the rail project. If you look at this, I would want to say that I did a personal research and looked at rail construction of the same specifics, of the same technology across the globe and one cannot but complain that the cost of railway project in Nigeria is on a very high side.”

He wondered why it was costing the Federal Government so much to construct a railway of just 45 km unlike the construction of the same specifics across the globe.

He questioned the rationale behind the government’s loan of $500m from Exim Bank of China for the project, saying that the money which the Federal Government had so far injected into the project was enough to execute the entire project.

He said, “From my own calculation, in fact, from my comparison with other rail projects across the world, the Federal Government investment in this project is enough to execute the project without taking a loan as high as $500m from China.

“From our research and it’s very simple, the world is now a global village. As you are sitting here now, on your phone you can google, even in India and Egypt.

“Fortunately, one of those projects in Zambia was also done by this same company, CCE. We have six countries and the average cost per km, none is above $4m per km. Why is the Nigerian project costing $13.8m approximately $14m?” Copyright PUNCH.

The moral of the story is that once the leader of a group of people is doing, all other good works will be attributed to him whether he is directly or indirectly involved.

To Lagos.

The economic situation is biting and many guys are vexing while as usual the ladies are expecting. I am looking forward to the day when ladies will offer to take their spouses out! Mtchewwwww! Their hands are as long as the neck of a giraffe! Oh! Did I just say that? No apologies!

The hustle is tight these days as the present ‘Oga at the top’ is not a father Christmas, unlike the past administration. So money is scarce. A significant number of Nigerians have to spend wisely. No more flamboyance, it is time to tighten the straps of your boot.

Unfortunately for you, that ‘bae’ you have been ‘eyeing’ will not look at your face if you lose your swag. Of course, there are other men flashing Ferrari at her while you are showing off with a Toyota Camry! Relax. Do not worry. You will sweep her off feet, not with extravagance but with just 10,000. Read on!

Monday: Be a Gentleman

Many people dread Mondays because it is perhaps the busiest day of the week. Be a gentleman on Monday and focus on your job! You can check on her by calling her.

Tuesday-First Impression matters

First impression matters. It is this prior perception that will determine how remote you will go with the lady. It determines whether you will get her to commit to going out with you! Get your swag on. Read Shakespeare, James Hadley Chase, and borrow lines from Maya Angelou’s Touched by an Angel. She will be wowed!

Wednesday: Pause

It is time to give her a break. Do not call her, do not text and do not think about her. Let her miss you! It is difficult, but you will do yourself a whole lot of good if you are able to pull it off.. This break will stop her from taking you for granted or thinking that you cannot do or live without her!

Thursday: Buy her a priceless gift

In a relationship, there is no way you will not spend money. However, you have to smart with spending on a woman who is yet to yield to your advances. She may be showing signs of being interested but at the end you are ‘On Your On’ (OYO)! But if youy really like her, buy her a thoughtful gift. A below-the-line gift. That is a gift that reminds her of you anytime she sees it! You can go wild by buying her lingeries! There are many affordable stalls around Lagos where you can buy thoughtful gifts!! Do not spend more 3k.

Friday: Take her to watch a movie!

Ladies are the biggest pretenders in this world. Quote me anywhere! Abi na lie? I do not want this. I do not like it…story! As earlier said, politely get her to commit herself to going out with you. Do not ambush her with the movie stuff. You can Skype her, humbly requesting that you want to take her to the movies. Imagine an evening at the cinema with a girl you have been fantasizing about. If she likes you she will give you a positive answer. It is 3k for both of you and do not forget to buy Popcorn! At the end of the movie, invite her to your house.

Saturday: At your house

Her first visit to your house is not an opportunity to have sex. Both of you can do that in subsequent meetiings. Of course, sex is an important feature in every relationship. But it shouldn’t be hinged on that. The visit is for to know each other. If you can cook, please show off your cooking skills. Some ladies said they love men that have cooking skills. Impress her with it. At the end of the evening, she will be very fond of you and wouldn’t feel like going home. Importantly, make sure you drop at her doorstep or give her cab money!

Sunday: Worship at her Church

Men can do anything just to get a girl. One of those things is worshing at her church. She will be surprised. She may probably forget that she is in church and hug you! Congratulations! She is your girlfriend! But do not assume, ask her.

extra

Do not waste money on recharge cards

In the African setting, men are expected to make all the moves including calling the woman. But, some ladies should be awarded a masters degree for flashing as they will never call their partner!

But do not worry, technology has changed everything. Skype is the way to go! It is the cheapest means to make internet calls. Ask her if she is on skype, collect her ID and make it a point of duty to only call her on it while chatting with her using instant messaging. There is no need to buy recharge card to call or send her text messages. In fact, you can go old skool by writing her a love letter!

A farmer saw a plane full of politicians crash near his farm. When the police arrived, they asked the farmer what happened.
.
Farmer: They crashed near my farm and I buried all of them.
One of the police men asked with shock; "are you sure they were all dead"?
.
Farmer: Some of them were screaming, "we are still alive".
But I couldn't believe them.
You know, these politicians. They can lie.

I think its time I say what is on my mind.

The situation of things have shown that if not for the Civil war, the Igbo land would have been the envy of the whole Africa. In less than 40 years of the massacre and forceful snatching of the Igbo properties all over Nigeria, by the Nigeria Government spearhead by the coward rat-poison drinker ... (I dont need to name names), the present generation of the Igbo race has shown that destiny can be delayed but can never be denied.

Umu ibe, even if they fail to grant us Biafra, then let us prove to them that Nigeria is ours to own, to plough and not plunder-like their fore fathers has done over the years.

I am first an Igbo man, before I am forced to be a Nigerian...

The support got the nod from his other half to walk up the aisle in full Gunners garb... better than the more traditional top and tails?


EXTRA TIME
The ultimate show of support or... something else? An Arsenal fan walked up the aisle in full Gunner garb recently after getting the approval of his wife.

"My wife is from Woking and she is awesome," he wrote on Facebook. "She let me get married in my full Arsenal kit! Maybe I just got lucky."

In another post, the unidentified man wrote: "It's like I won the FA Cup and found the best woman in the world ever."
