Nigerian Actress Mide Funmi Martins: Why I Marriage An “Ugly” Husband, Who Used Juju On Me For 13 Years Nollywood Actress Mide Funmi Martins: My Husband Afeez Owo Abiodun Is “Ugly” But I Love Him Like That In a recent chat with a Lagos-based softsell magazine, Nollywood actress Mide Martins revealed why she married her husband, filmmaker Afeez Owo. While responding to her viral marriage crash report, the mother of two said: I know that people are saying that because they can’t reconcile how a fine girl like me will be married to someone who is not as fine as I am. Yes, I thought of that and that is the reason why people keep wishing us bad. And they have been saying it right from the onset, that haaa! Their marriage can’t last. They don’t match. They are not perfect match. They don’t fit. “haa omo yen ti fine ju loo, some say Ogun lo lo fun and I said its impossible. How can someone use juju on you for over 13 years. I have 2 kids with him. I love my family. I love my husband. I am not saying I am not pretty. It is obvious that I am pretty. But I love him like that. Love is not about being beautiful or being handsome. I might marry the most handsome man in the world and I might not be happy with him. That is one thing people don’t understand about relationships. I am happy with my husband and that is the only thing that matters in marriage. When you are happy and everything is going on well, please what else do you want? So, I am happy with him and fine with him. I love him just the way he is. People should try and understand that”. www.naijagists.com/nollywood-actress-mide-funmi-martins-my-husband-afeez-owo-abiodun-is-ugly-but-i-love-him-like-that/

From a former plantain seller who once lived with a woman older than him in Port-Harcourt to the huge star we know today, this is the story of a great young man that rose beyond all limitations to become the man he is today. His Early Childhood (Timaya The Brazen Child) Timaya ran away from home at the age of 14. The stubborn and self opinionated child was the last born in a family of 15 children whose father wanted him to become a banker like he was. But obviously, he had other ideas as he grew up loving entertainment and was not ready to compromise his dream for anything else. Besides wanting freedom, Timaya also wanted to be free from his domineering older siblings who wanted to turn him into an errand boy. His quest for freedom was so great that, he himself was recorded saying,‘One day, I left the house but they caught and returned me after a year of living wild on the streets. I was tied and beaten up severely. I would act like I’m okay and the next thing, I’d run away again. That was my lifestyle until, my mother called my elder sister to say she was tired of me and urged her to take me to live with her in Lagos.’ Sometimes when there was a show in town, he would sneak out to watch the show and when he comes back the next morning, his mother would want to kill him. His Sojourn In Lagos (The Life Of A Hustler) After attending Ikeja Grammar school, he began life as an hustler on the streets. He even dropped out of the University just so he could return to the streets. Coming back to Lagos, Timaya joined Eedris Abdulkareem’s band as a back-up singer and worked for him for about three years even though he wasn’t paid a dime. According to him, He never paid me a dime in the three years I worked for him except for an occasion he gave me N1000 after a show in Kuramo beach. Everybody that worked with Eedris when I was with him had a dream but he never helped make their dream happen.[/b]From a former plantain seller who once lived with a woman older than him in Port-Harcourt to the huge star we know today, this is the story of a great young man that rose beyond all limitations to become the man he is today.

Timaya having taken part in a talent audition by Hilda Dokubo and her husband and lost, met K-Solo in his studio in Mafoluku Oshodi and would often take a bike from his sister’s place in Oshodi to his studio every time. They began work on his album, recorded seven raw and uncut demo CD and cut 5000 promo CDs without mixing the songs before giving them out to people for free. Still Trying To Hit It Big With a determined mind, he met Danco Music who offered to buy his master tape for 1 Million after T- Joe and Obaino has offered him 40 – 45,000. 1 Million naira richer, he went back to Port Harcourt, spent N190, 000 to buy a power bike and rent an apartment. The rest of the money he spent on Okirika wears as he felt his status needed an upgrade. He revealed he survived on the mangoes he plucked in the compound after spending the money finish. Little did he know, his breakthrough was coming. Success At Last! His first breakthrough came when he was paid N150,000 to perform for students of Federal Polytechnics Nekede, Owerri and since then Timaya has never looked back. Infact the Egeripapa1 of Bayelsa revealed he has never been broke ever since then. www.stargist.com/cover/the-inspiring-story-of-timaya-his-struggles-and-how-he-rose-to-fame/[left]

If this news is true my heart goes out to the family of the victims, I remember I once use this same bank ATM during my service year in bauchi. I can't imagine the number of people making use of this machine on a daily basis. Even though I did not serve in that town, I can recall that I have to travel an hour from jalam to azare to cash my allawee since potiskum closer to my PPA is a no go area, sometimes the queue goes as far as 500 plus. May God forgive the people committing this atrocities. |

Coffee About 1,600,000,000 cups of coffee are consumed every day around the world. Billions of people rely on it as part of their daily routines. And yet, very few people are aware of the Muslim origins of this ubiquitous drink. According to the historical record, in the 1400s coffee became a very popular drink among Muslims in Yemen, in the southern Arabian Peninsula. Legend goes that a shepherd (some say in Yemen, some say in Ethiopia) noticed that his goats became very energetic and jumpy when they ate beans from a particular tree. He had the courage to try them himself, noticing they gave him an energy boost. Over time, the tradition of roasting the beans and immersing them in water to create a sour yet powerful drink developed, and thus, coffee was born. Regardless of whether or not the story of the shepherd ever really happened, coffee found its way from the highlands of Yemen to the rest of the Ottoman Empire, the premier Muslim empire of the 15th century. Coffeehouses specializing in the new drink began to spring up in all the major cities of the Muslim world: Cairo, Istanbul, Damascus, Baghdad. From the Muslim world, the drink found its way into Europe through the great merchant city of Venice. Although it was at first denounced as the “Muslim drink” by Catholic authorities, coffee became a part of European culture. The coffeehouses of the 1600s was where philosophers met and discussed issues such as the rights of man, the role of government, and democracy. These discussions over coffee spawned what became the Enlightenment, one of the most powerful intellectual movements of the modern world. From a Yemeni/Ethiopian shepherd to shaping European political thought to over 1 billion cups per day, this Muslim innovation is one of the most important inventions of human history. Algebra While many secondary school students struggling through math classes may not particularly appreciate the importance of algebra, it is one of the most important contributions of the Muslim Golden Age to the modern world. It was developed by the great scientist and mathematician, Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khawarizmi, who lived from 780 to 850 in Persia and Iraq. In his monumental book, Al-Kitāb al-mukhtaar fī isāb al-jabr wa-l-muqābala (English: The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing), he set forth the basic principles of algebraic equations. The name of the book itself contains the word “al-jabr”, meaning “completion”, from which the Latin word algebra is derived. In the book, al- Khawarizmi explains how to use algebraic equations with unknown variables to solve real-world problems such as zakat calculation and inheritance division. A unique aspect of his reasoning for developing algebra is the desire to make calculations mandated by Islamic law easier to complete in a world without calculators and computers. Al-Khawarizimi’s books were translated into Latin in Europe in the 1000s and 1100s, where he was known as Algoritmi (the word algorithm is based on his name and his mathematical works). Without his work in developing algebra, modern practical applications of math, such as engineering, would not be possible. His works were used as math textbooks in European universities for hundreds of years after his death. Degree-Granting Universities Speaking of universities, that is also an invention made possible by the Muslim world. Early on in Islamic history, mosques doubled as schools. The same people who led prayers would teach groups of students about Islamic sciences such as Quran, fiqh (jurisprudence), and hadith. As the Muslim world grew however, there needed to be formal institutions, known as madrasas, dedicated to the education of students. The first formal madrasa was al-Karaouine, founded in 859 by Fatima al-Fihri in Fes, Morocco. Her school attracted some of the leading scholars of North Africa, as well as the land’s brightest students. At al- Karaouine, students were taught by teachers for a number of years in a variety of subjects ranging from secular to religious sciences. At the end of the program, if the teachers deemed their students qualified, they would grant them a certificate known as an ijaza, which recognizes that the student understood the material and is now qualified to teach it. These first degree-granting educational institutes quickly spread throughout the Muslim world. Al- Azhar University was founded in Cairo in 970, and in the 1000s, the Seljuks established dozens of madrasas throughout the Middle East. The concept of institutes that grant certificates of completion (degrees) spread into Europe through Muslim Spain, where European students would travel to study. The Universities of Bologna in Italy and Oxford in England were founded in the 11th and 12th centuries and continued the Muslim tradition of granting degrees to students who deserved them, and using it as a judge of a person’s qualifications in a particular subject. Military Marching Bands Many students who attended high schools and universities in the Western world are familiar with the marching band. Made up of a group of a few hundred musicians, a band marches onto a field during a sporting event to entertain the audience and cheer on the players. These school marching bands developed from the use of marching military bands during the Gunpowder Age in Europe that were designed to encourage soldiers during battle. This tradition has its origins in the Ottoman mehter bands of the 1300s that helped make the Ottoman army one of the most powerful in the world. As part of the elite Janissary corps of the Ottoman Empire, the mehter band’s purpose was to play loud music that would frighten enemies and encourage allies. Using enormous drums and clashing cymbals, the sounds created by a mehter band could stretch for miles. During the Ottoman conquest of the Balkans throughout the 14th -16th centuries, mehter bands accompanied the fearsome Ottoman armies, who seemed almost invincible even in the face of huge European alliances. Eventually, Christian Europe also caught on to the use of military bands to frighten enemies. Legend has it that after the Ottoman siege of Vienna in 1683, the retreating Ottoman army left behind dozens of musical instruments, which the Austrians collected, studied, and put to their own use. Armies all over Europe soon began implementing marching military bands, revolutionizing the way war was fought in Europe for centuries. leadership.ng/features/386574/5-muslim-inventions-changed-world |
