Romance / Father In Yemen Seeks Onemillion Facebook 'likes' Asdowry by jude4us(m): 5:51pm On Dec 17, 2013
A father in Yemen has asked, not for money, but for one
million Facebook "likes" as dowry for his daughter's
hand
in marriage.
Yemen is a very traditional society, but one marriage
there
has been given a very modern twist. Instead of asking
his
daughter's husband-to-be for a dowry payment, Salem
Ayash, a poet from the city of Taiz, has asked for one
million Facebook likes. That's a lot in a country of just 25
million , where internet use is limited.
"It's the first time we've heard of something like this,"
says
Bashraheel Bashraheel, a journalist with Yemen's Al-
Ayyam newspaper. The story has made big waves on
social media there, he says, with countless bloggers
writing urging people to support the page so the couple
can get married. The page was set up on Sunday and
has
30,000 likes so far. "No-one in Yemen can afford
dowries
anymore," says Ayash, explaining why he's asking for a
digital dowry - rather than gold or money.
The fact that many young men cannot afford dowries,
and
so cannot get married, is a hot topic in Yemen, says
Bashraheel - with numerous attempts over the past few
years to set a maximum legal amount. Neighbours often
club together to help pay a dowry - which is set by the
father of the bride - and mass marriages are becoming
more popular as a way of making it more affordable.
Those commenting on Salem Ayash's Facebook page
seem divided on whether it's a good idea or not. Many
have thanked him for raising the issue of dowry
payments,
but others have questioned his motivations. "All you
want
is to use your daughter to seek fame," writes one -
noting
that the Facebook likes are for his own personal page,
rather than that of his daughter or her husband-to-be.
Ayash told the BBC that he wants to see evidence his
future son-in-law is making an effort to raise the one
million Facebook likes - but he won't be rigid. "If I see
that
he's worked hard, I'm willing to be flexible to see them
happily married."

Politics / Senator Yerima Divorces 17year Old Egyptian Wife, Marries Another 15yr Old. by jude4us(m): 4:25pm On Dec 17, 2013
Three years after marrying a 14 year old Egyptian
girl named Marian, which was widely protested in
Nigeria, former Zamfara state governor and serving
senator of the federal republic of Nigeria, Sen.
Ahmed Yerima, has reportedly divorced her to marry
a new wife, City People reports. According to the
magazine, Yerima and four men, said to be
members of the Zamfara State House of Assembly
were in Egypt a few weeks ago for the wedding
fathia of a new bride said to be 15 years old.
Marian who is now 17 and a mother of one, is
believed to be the daughter of the former governor’s
driver whenever he visits Egypt. The reason he
divorced her is to enable him take a new wife as he’s
not allowed more than four wives.
The Senator is alleged to have married and divorced
a few women in the last few years but has never
changed his first three wives, only the fourth ones.
Sen. Ahmed Yerima this year was strongly against
the deletion of the section of the 1999 constitution
which pegged the official marriage age in Nigeria as
18 years, saying it was anti-Islam.

farewell to Nelson Mandela, were messing
about like kids instead of behaving with the

Did they really come for a memorial service? How do you aggregate their conduct? What would you say if our Oga Jonathan were to do that?

But it will be Ghana who will have the final laugh, when the Black Stars emerge from group stage with Germany, while the Super Chickens fall to both Bosnia and Iran, talkless of Argentina. Then you will have no choice but to acknowledge that Ghana was, is, and always will be the No.1 team in Africa.

Sports / “it Was A Deserved Defeat, My Players Were Tired” – Mourinho [PHOTO] by jude4us(m): 7:55am On Nov 27, 2013
Jose Mourinho has conceded that Chelsea deserved
to lose against Basel in their Champions League tie on
Tuesday.
Mohamed Salah clinched the only goal of the match,
three minutes from time as the Swiss champions went
into second place behind the Premier League team.
Chelsea failed too register a shot on target in a weak
performance, but Mourinho says the players were
tired and he should have made more changes after
the West Ham game.
“It was a deserved defeat, but because of other
results we qualified. That is the only positive thing,
now we have to get a result at home [Steaua] be first,”
the former Real Madrid coach told Sky Sports.
“I didn’t like it from the
first minute, when there
was a defensive mistake
immediately. The team
only had a little bit of
stability and control in
the second half.
“The team was tired,
they paid the price of
the international 15
days. The arrival, the
match that followed was
crucial against West
Ham, where the team
played very well in an
intense game, but today
we paid the price
because the players
were tired.
“I’m not so sad with
them, because I
understand. The team
was not fresh and maybe I should have made more
changes, but there was a temptation to keep the same
team because they played so well (at West
Ham).”Jose Mourinho admitted Basel deserved their
Champions League win over Chelsea, adding that he
was relieved to qualify from Group F.

Religion / Mysterious River Appears In Enugu Community [PHOTOS] by jude4us(m): 7:37am On Nov 27, 2013
Before now, very little was known about Nachi, a
community in Udi Local Government Area of Enugu
State.
However, all that has changed; the history of the
community has being re-shaped.
All it took to change the face of Nachi is mysterious
healing water, already named “Orimiri Jordan”, (River
Jordan).
DailyPost visited this community on Tuesday and
reports that it has indeed become a Pilgrimage Centre,
playing host to people from all parts of Nigeria.
Countless testimonies abound as Nigerians struggle
to dip themselves into the River.
How it all Began
Enquiries by DailyPost showed that it all started on
the 11th day of November 2013. According to
community sources, a Fulani herdsman ran to the
community and announced how water covered the
place just few minutes after he passed.
“He told us that he passed that place with his herd of
cattle and soon after, heard a strange noise; when he
turned back, he discovered that a big stream has
appeared at the same place he just passed with his
cattle. At that point, he ran to Garki and informed his
relatives, who also came there and discovered that the
water had healing power. From that point, the news
spread to the community”, a source disclosed.
Origin of the River
Although there appears to be some elements of
controversies surrounding the healing power of the
River, the community is not divided on its origin.
The traditional ruler of Nachi community, His Royal
Highness, Igwe F.O Onuigbo, Obi II of Nachi, told
DailyPost at his palace that the mystery River was
older than him.
Onuigbo, who spoke through his Lolo, because of his
ill health, said “I used to pass through that area to
attend school at Inyi-Achi in Oji River, in the early
40s. In those days, there is no water there, the only
thing you see there is white sand. But once you get
there and you are thirsty, all you need to do is to
scratch the surface of the land and ask if for water,
water will full your hand immediately if you are an
upright person, but if you are evil, no water will come
out. That has been the situation”.
Another octogenarian, Chief Festus Ude told our
correspondent that “later, we noticed that after some
years, the water will form a stream there and would
disappear in few weeks. If such happens, we will be
fetching water there. However, women who are
menstruating and evil people don’t go there. We never
heard about healing power of the River until this
recent appearance of the River”.
The 80-year-old man continued that “the last time it
appeared was in 1992, and at that time, it just formed
a small stream, which later disappeared. It has never
been as large as this. This is all I know, we have never
known about its healing power, this is the first time we
are hearing about healing, I don’t whether it is true,
we equally heard it like you”.
Brisk Businesses
For commercial motorcycle operators, popularly
called “Okada”, photographers and petty traders, it is
a life-time opportunity that should not be allowed to
slip by.
Right at the junction leading to the location of the
“Jordan River”, the visitor is presented with a scene of
a busy motor park, where hawkers, food vendors,
transporters and okada riders battle for customers.
On the other side of the road, cans of various sizes
are displayed for those who came empty handed.
From that point, you park your vehicle, mount on
Okada and the journey begins.
It would remind one of those routes passed by youth
corps members during endurance trek organize at the
peak of orientation camp.
Owing to the bad nature of the road, the motorcycles
swerves from one portion to the other, trying to cheat
the road. They find it less troublesome, because
according to one of them, they had become used to
the terrain, since they ply the road not less than 30
times per day.
Mr. Daniel, the Okada operator, who conveyed
DailyPost correspondent to the River, disclosed that
he abandoned his vulcanizing job to benefit from the
new business.
According to him, “I have a vulcanizing shop at the
Nachi Market, but when this new business came, I had
to close the shop temporarily so that I can also make
money here. I hardly make N1000 a day there in my
shop, but since I joined this Okada transport to the
Enugu Jordan River, I make no less than N10, 000
every day. One of my friends called my attention to it,
and I will forever be grateful to him”.
The okada operators
charge their passengers
fares ranging from N500 to N1000 depending on their
bargaining power.
On getting to the River, another business scene
welcomes you. Here, apart from those hawking
snacks, photographers are not left out. This presents
the place as not just a miracle centre, but a tourist
centre. While some of the visitors dip themselves or
swim in the River, the photographers take shots, get
the pictures ready immediately at the cost of N200
depending on the number of exposures.
One of the photographers told DailyPost that they
make between N20, 000 to N40, 000 every day.
“You can see that some people come for fun, not just
in search of miracle but to see the mysterious River.
So when such people come, they request for shots
and it has really provided us with good business here.
Healing Powers
Although no instant miracle was recorded throughout
the one-hour duration our correspondent spent at the
River, sources disclosed that many visitors had
testified to all forms of miracles after visiting the
place.
People of all ages, with all forms of ailments are being
assisted by their relatives and friends to dip
themselves into the River.
A can seller at the entrance to the River told DailyPost
that “my house help was suffering from enlarged
scrotum; we were trying to raise money to go to
University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital before a friend
told me about this place. We brought the boy here
and by the time we went home, he was fully healed,
that was how I started selling empty cans here”.
Another visitor, a civil servant, who identified himself
as James told our correspondent that he came after
neighbours told him about the healing power of the
water.
“I heard about people who had difficulties in walking
but they got healed after visiting this place; I also
heard of people who regained their sight after visiting
this place; I am just coming out from the River and I
believed that I am free of any form of sickness and
challenges”.
Meanwhile, the crowd of anxious Nigerians seeking
for miraculous solutions to their problems has
continued to surge into the River.
Even security agents are not left behind as some of
them were seen either with their water cans or aiding
their loved ones into the River.
However, the water is expected to also dry up any
time in the same mysterious way as it came.
