U.S President elected as a bachelor

On 9th of September 1893, President Glover Cleveland's wife Frances became the first American president's wife to give birth in the white house when the couple's daughter Esther was born. She remains the only child of a president to be born in the white house.

After spending the first two years of his presidency as a bachelor, Cleveland was also the first president to be married in white house. On June 2, 1887, Cleveland married the beautiful Frances Folsom who at 21 years old, was 27 years his junior.

Frances was the daughter of Cleveland's former law partner. Cleveland knew her from birth. When she was 11, her father died and Cleveland became her legal guardian and stayed close friends with her mother. His pet name for her was frank. Observers thought Cleveland would end up marrying his friend’s widow and were completely surprised when instead he married Frances as soon as she graduated from college.

Frances became an instant celebrity. She received fan letters and every detail of her life became a matter of public discussion in America's newspapers and parlors. Cleveland was irked by his wife's fame and preferred that she keep a low profile. He did not want her called "first la[color=#006600][/color]dy".

The immediate past Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Attahiru Jega, said despite plans to scuttle the March general election, he was not afraid.
Jega also said although a former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Elder Godsday Orubebe, came out to attack INEC, he said his team was determined to ensure the tabulation and announcement of poll results.
He said contrary to some insinuations, the contract for the production of the card readers was almost three years before political permutations began.
The former INEC chief spoke in an interview with ZERO TOLERANCE Magazine, which is an in-house publication of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Asked if he was afraid of his life during the poll, Jega said: “No! Anybody who is afraid for his life will not do this kind of job.
“As you know, they say “death is a necessary end. It comes when it will come.”
“So we did not best knowing that if God wills, people can drop and die; but as long we are alive, we will continue to do our best under all circumstances.”
He said Orubebe did not succeed in scuttling the announcement of the presidential election results because INEC management team was determined to conclude the computation of the results.
He said: “The fact of the matter is that all of us in INEC were determined to conduct free fair, credible and peaceful elections and by the time we came to collation it became evident that we had done our best professionally.
“So, we were determined to ensure that no matter the provocation we would ensure that the results were tabulated and announced. There were all shots of allegations and accusations, but knew we had not done anything to warrant such allegations and accusations.”
The erstwhile chairman of INEC defended the use of card reader and rated its success higher.
He said it was an innovation that has come to stay.

I have heard so much, especially on the negative aspect, about the people of Mbaise especially the fact that they are not to be trusted or that you can trust them only at your own risk. In fact, there is a popular saying that if you are locked in a room with an Mbaise man and a snake, it is better to kill the Mbaise man and remain in the room with the snake.
I totally disagree with the above assertions as my experiences with those from Mbaise have proven that they are actually a very wonderful and trustworthy set of people.
I am from Abia State, South-East Nigeria and my family has a long history of intermarriage with the Mbaise and it has always been a story of marital bliss. I have about three relatives (cousins and an uncle) whose wives are from Mbaise and these ladies are actually very trustworthy individuals. They are also very hospitable and a visit to their home is always a pleasant experience.
I have also had some friends from Mbaise and they have proven, times without number to be very trustworthy and reliable individuals. One of them is happily married and lives in Abuja with her husband (who I must say is very lucky to have her) and the second will be tying the nuptial knot next month. The third has been my close friend for some time and he has never given me reason to doubt him. Please note that I have known all my friends for not less than 8 years now and as for my Uncle’s wife, she has been married to him for not less than 32 years.
If you are one of those who had a negative impression about the good people of Mbaise, please work on that mindset, it is a complete falsehood.

Cheers!!!

They were his colleagues, so he obviously knows them better than we all do.

Nice picture.
