Actor known for roles in Indiana Jones, Blade Runner and Star Wars films reportedly conscious and breathing after crashing small plane on golf course in California

Harrison Ford has been injured and hospitalised after crashing a small plane onto a golf course near Los Angeles.

The 72-year-old actor suffered “moderate” injuries after crashing the vintage two-seater plane he was piloting on to the green at Penmar golf course near Santa Monica’s municipal airport on Thursday afternoon.

Paramedics found him to be “alert and conscious” and suffering “moderate trauma”, Patrick Butler, Los Angeles assistant fire chief, told a press conference at the scene.

Paramedics “initiated spinal immobilisation, started an IV and began all the necessary medical protocols that we do,” Butler said.

He added: “We are very thankful that the passenger had [only] very moderate injuries.”

Reports said Ford suffered lacerations to his face and possible fractures. Television news footage taken showed him on a stretcher being taken into an ambulance.

Is his bank account HANDsum? If yes, go ahead with "YES, I DO."

I'd rather prefer to use the word MODERATE bank account. Every potential can't always have a handsome bank account. If you are lucky to jam one with a fat account, then good for you but if not, someone with a moderate account can still become a robust account owner.

falconey:
Look like lot of work.

Guess it's worth doing those lots of work ahead rather than doing them when it's already too late.
Besides, it's not a classroom work, these are things you just get to observe and react to as days pass bye. Guess that's why you also need some room and a bit of considerable time for courtship.

Most women dream of the moment when they are asked “Will you marry me?” Many women say yes immediately. However, it would be wise to consider this question with
serious reflection because getting married is a great commitment that shouldn’t be taken lightly. It is sad to see the large amount of divorces in our society today. For this reason, before saying, “I do,” it would be a good idea to consider some guidelines to help make your wedding day end in "happily ever after." Your marriage should last forever.
The reality is that the future is uncertain and nothing can guarantee a successful marriage. However, I would like to share five guidelines that can be useful to consider before making such a significant decision that will affect your life forever.
1. A long and formal courtship
This type of courtship will allow you to know your partner better. As you share meaningful moments, you will be able to see your fiancé’s different attitudes when facing a variety of circumstances in life. At the same time, you will be able to find answers to the following questions: How does your sweetheart react when experiencing anger, frustration or high level of stress? How does he or she treat family members? How does he or she react when you have a problem and feel sad? Does he or she support you or abandon you? Is he or she a hard-working
and appreciative person? Is he or she jealous?
(Remember, getting to know a person better involves asking more questions than the ones previously mentioned).

2. Sharing ideals
Before starting a life together, you must discuss future plans. In order to function harmoniously, a couple must learn to share common ideals and mutual goals, such as discussing whether or not to have children, living in the countryside or the city, buying a house or travelling, seeking a degree or working and having a family business. These are a few of the many topics that you should discuss before getting married in order to avoid surprises. Since you know your future goals, it is good to discuss it with your fiancé to know if you both are on the same page.

3. Putting things in a balanced perspective
Imagine having a scale: on one side you place your partner’s virtues and on the other side you place his or her imperfections. If the scale is heavier on the imperfections’ side, you should think hard before saying, “I do.”
When considering all imperfections, you must reflect how much you are able to work through them. Some imperfections are not so profound, such as being shy or being less talkative. However, there are other imperfections that can cause serious wounds, such as certain addictions like alcoholism, drugs or pornography.

4. Pay attention to your fiancé’s family values

Reflect on your loved one’s family values to make sure you are compatible. Once you get married, you are also forming a new
family.

5. Analyze both of your economic opportunities
Starting a family involves serious financial commitments: buying a home, paying rent, buying groceries for the family, paying bills and other expenditures. Before getting married decide if you will have the economic stability to fulfill your financial responsibilities.

I would like to mention that these guidelines are not a guaranteed recipe for success. Furthermore, marriage should not be taken lightly because it is a relationship that requires sacrifice. Each story is different, each couple is unique and what may have positive outcomes for some people may not work for others. Nevertheless, it is good to consider these principles because you may discover some interesting aspects of your relationship. Above all, before saying, _“_I do,” you must be convinced that you love your fiancé and that this love is reciprocal. Best wishes!

This is the most empty and shallow piece I've read in a while.

ejikeme:
it does happen. infact, am a witness.

Maybe you should tell us exactly what you've experienced.

The analysis in the picture below made me reflect on an old friend's mum. Back in the days when my friend left Ondo state to work for the first time in his life in a ministry in PortHarcourt, anyone who doesn't know will think he works in Shell or Chevron. You need to see how his mum talks about him with visitors/friends regularly. Funny enough, he hardly got up to 40k as salary.

This made me wonder if this is what plays out in some family. Do your folks actually do what this picture says? Do your friends think you earn a lot while reverse is the case, especially when they ask for your help and you could not assist them?

In my own case, NO.

Not surprised...it is expected.

So sad...35k?
What can 35k monthly help in the life of an adult?
Anyway, if you think it is worth it, you may try it out. If it is just a stone throw from your residence, then you might consider it if you are too tired of staying indoor everyday.
I wish you well....

dein77:
This, amongst other reasons, are why the Whites never take us seriously. We dont even take ourselves seriously.

Very true

shadowgwalker:
same to you.

You are welcome...

dein77:
It's really depressing. These tiny group of folks has no compassion on the people whatsoever.

This is the point where you know that some people are all just about themselves. No consideration for the masses. You can imagine how many lives will be touched and changed forever with all the proposals for just one person...shame on Nigeria.

dein77:
Just another proof that the average black man lives for FOOD and COMFORT.

At at a time sane governments are cutting costs, our overfed monkeys are instead extending the boundaries of comfort.

Shameful.

Extremely shameful...

All na to show yansh....

the Amplified-PDP-Criminals doing what they know best! after they will say PDP is corrupt #smy

this same backdoor of dirty wealth Mr President blocked, they have opened another. tomorrow they will say Nigeria is owing debts.

I just can't understand why people will decide to take laws in their hands and carr out jungle justice.
You can imagine how this innocent girl must have been pleading for her life to be spared before being burnt to death; and now it turns out to be a case of a young lady troubled with insanity. Please read below:


The suspected bomber, identified as Dorcas Haruna Maria, was set ablaze by an angry mob after she resisted attempts by security agencies to search her.

A young woman who was burnt to death by a mob in Bauchi State after being suspected of being suicide bomber might have been suffering from a mental illness, according to the police.

The suspected bomber, identified as Dorcas Haruna Mwari, was set ablaze by an angry mob after she resisted attempts by security agencies to search her.

After her death, it was reportedly discovered that the bag she was protecting contained empty bottles and not an explosive device as suspected.

“Yes, we took their statement. They (the family) noted that their daughter had that challenge,” the Bauchi State Police Public Relations Officer, Haruna Mohammed said confirming that the deceased indeed had a mental illness.

Mohammed also stated that the police had begun investigations into the matter and that the perpetrators of the act would be brought to justice.

redsun:
For stealing the people's money. Nigerian politicians are modern day emperors,they are absolutely above the law. Like gods on earth.

Sincerely, it's very disturbing to know that as Nigerians are still trying to root out embezzlement in the country, some senseless idi*ts are somewhere making laws on how to indirectly steal. These are people that have been elected to serve but it has now turned out to be an avenue to get rich. It is a shame that this is truly happening. Why won't we have this even when the whole president has no clue as to what the difference between stealing and corruption is...

The Lagos State House of Assembly has introduced a bill seeking to provide lavish post-retirement benefits to the Speaker and Deputy Speaker, with proposals for extravagant life pension, accommodation, security and medical cover for the two officials and their families.
The bill is seeking to amend the state’s Public Office Holder Law of 2007 which already provides those benefits to past governors and their deputies.
The existing law was pushed through by Ahmed Tinubu who was governor between 1999 and 2007.
The lawmakers now want to extend the largesse to themselves, and the amendment seeks to insert the words “and includes the Speaker (and) the Deputy Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly” after “State” in the interpretation of “Public Office Holder”.
The move is coming as the All Progressives Congress, APC, the ruling party in the state, rallies widespread support as it seeks to defeat the Peoples Democratic Party at the federal level, with a pledge to drastically cut down the cost of governance.
According to the bill “A Law to Amend the Law to Provide For the Payment of Pensions and Other Benefits to Public Office Holders in Lagos State and For Connected Purposes,” a copy of which was made available to PREMIUM TIMES, the Speaker, as well as his Deputy, will be receiving 100 percent of their annual basic salary as pension.
The sum is to be reviewed every five years or when there is salary review of the political office holders by the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission.
The bill also aims to provide both officers with one car each and one residential house each at any location of their choice in Lagos as well as free medical treatment.
The law holds that any person who held office as an elected governor or deputy governor is entitled to an annual basic salary equal to 100 per cent of the annual salary of the incumbent governor or deputy-governor of Lagos State, subject to review every five years or salary review by the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission in line with section 210 (3) of the constitution as amended in 2011.
According to the law: “Any person duly elected as public office holder shall upon the successful completion of his term be entitled to a grant of pension for life by the state; Provided that such a person shall not be entitled to a grant of pension under this law if he was removed from office by the process of impeachment or for breach of any provision of the constitution.’’
The bill also follows a recent amendment to the Nigerian Constitution allowing the Senate President and deputy, Speaker of the House of Representatives and his deputy, to enjoy life pensions and other premium perks.
Those benefits were only available to past presidents and Chief Justices of the Federation.
The amendment to the Constitution emanated from the two chambers, and has been approved by more than 24 states assembly, effectively making it law.
Several Nigerian governors have also perfected secret laws in their respective states, granting billions of naira worth of benefits for themselves and their families when they leave office.
Nigerians reacts
A Lagos based Constitutional lawyer, Jiti Ogunye, described the move by the Lagos State House of Assembly as “insensitive and irresponsible”.
“They are not taking into account the vast issue of the prohibitive cost of governance that the political party in charge of Lagos State claims it want to prune down,” Mr. Ogunye said.
“The legislature in this political environment can claim they want to follow what is practised elsewhere, I mean the issue of congressmen being on life pension. But that is still a controversial issue in America.
“However, the argument against that is that political officers are not career public servants, like civil servants who gain employment and work for their entire life before they retire.
“How could politicians who begged the electorates for votes get into that office and start dreaming of how to pay themselves for life?”
Mr. Ogunye said that Lagosians have a duty to stop this kind of “legislative rascality”, noting that the legislature ought to have revisited the Public Office Holder Law introduced by the executive and scrap it.
“If they are not able to curtail the excesses of the executive, they should not add salt to injury by saying that what is good for the goose is good for the gander
“What they are doing is engaging in statutory stealing, using the law to sanctify official stealing. That is not why they are there. And what are they doing to be entitled to life salary?”
According to Debo Adeniran, Executive Director of Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders, CACOL, Lagosians should have risen up when the Public Office Holder Law was signed in 2007.
“The thing about bourgeoisie politics is the capacity of politicians to make more than enough money for themselves,” said Mr. Adeniran, whose organization kicked against the law in 2007.
“We have always advocated for part-time legislature and for politicians to leave all the requisites of office after their tenure.
“But if Lagosians had tolerated this at the level of the executive, then there is no moral standing to say that the law shouldn’t include other arms of government.”
Details of new bill
Highlights of the existing Lagos State Public Office Holder Law include:
Annual basic salary: 100 percent of annual basic salaries of the incumbent governor and deputy.
Accommodation: One residential house in Lagos and another in FCT for the former governor; one residential house in Lagos for the deputy.
Transport: Three cars, two back-up cars and one pilot car for the ex-governor, to be replaced every three years; two cars, one back-up car and one pilot car for the deputy, also to be replaced every three years.
Furniture: 300 percent of annual basic salary every two years.
House maintenance: 10 percent of annual basic salary.
Domestic staff: Cook, steward, gardener and other domestic staff who shall be pensionable.
Medical: Free medical treatment for ex-governor and deputy and members of their families.
Security: Two SSS operatives, one female officer, eight policemen (four each for house and personal security) for the ex-governor; one SSS operative and two policemen (one each for house and personal security) for the deputy.
Personal Assistant: 25 percent of annual basic salary.
Car maintenance: 30 percent of annual basic salary.
Entertainment: 10 percent of annual basic salary.
Utility: 20 percent of annual basic salary.
Drivers: Pensionable.

what you are.

4. He must love your parents and siblings.

5. He must be caring.

6. He must be a good listener

7. He must be bold to take positive decisions which
might affect you or the home you intend to build with
him.
