Love they say is a good thing and favour from the Lord.

It was a day of fun, glamour, happiness, dance and lots of love as Moyosore Ogunlewe, the young lawyer cum politician son of Sen. Adeseye Ogunlewe former Minister of Works & Infrastructure solidified his marital vows with delectable & soft hearted Olubukunola Otudeko on Saturday 18th April, 2015.

The event reception which took place at the Ruby Gardens, Lekki witness the presence of the big-wigs in the society who came in numbers to support the young & adorable couples.

Business mogul and Chairman of the Occasion, Oba Otudeko MFR Chairman/Founder of Honeywell Group who also happens to be a longtime family friend of the Ogunlewes set the ball rolling with an opening prayer on arrival of the couple.

Oba Otudeko was once listed as Forbes Africa’s 24th richest man and currently listed on Forbes top 50 Africa’s richest.

The Groom, Moyosore Ogunlewe contested for a seat in the Lagos House of Assembly, Kosofe Constituency 1 under the platform of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the just concluded elections losing to Hon. Bayo Osinowo of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in one of the most keenly contested elections in the state.

Moyosore in an interview with Metro TimesNG after the election at his residence has described the election as a sham, alleging rigging by the opposition saying there is no way he could have lost to an unpopular candidate who has done nothing to merit a 4th term in office.

His words: “Hon. Bayo Osinowo is an unpopular candidate who has failed the people of Kosofe in his 3-term in office which is a total of 12years; there is no way I could have lost to him. We know the election has been rigged but we are prepared to challenge it in court”.

Hon. Bayo Osinowo was declared the winner with a margin of 87 votes after polling 18,842 votes against Moyo Ogunlewe’s 18,755 votes.

Reacting to questions from a member of the press at the event about the election, the groom said "It is my day and as you can see I am very happy. Leave all election matters till another day; but for now enjoy yourself".

South Africa's Xenophobia isnt different from Nigerians Igbophobia. So, I don't know why Nigerian hypocrites are on south Africans case.

How many Igbos have been killed for staying anywhere in Nigeria except for the ones killed by BHaram which is random (not single out)?

There's nothing like "Igbophobia" in Nig we only have a few ill mannered Igbos in Nig who rant about taking over some lands wch obviously does not belong to them and never have they (Igbos) been killed for even doing that.

Stop spreading falsehood, we are not barbaric...

Buhari never promised N40 per liter. Tam David-West only adviced him to bring the price down to N40/litre

That's wickedness + selfishness at its peak.

A man cannot be more mean...

Pathetic

Height of it is that a lot of South Africans don't see anything wrong in the crazy ish; to them they (killers) are helping in creating enough space for jobs and other business opportunities.

Multi-Choice is here (Nigeria) breaking our laws and defying court orders while hoodlums (SA touts) are also there (in SA) killing our people and destroying their properties.

It's simply crazy....

You need to re-lodge the complaint prefarably at your branch (where ur account is domicile) or another branch where you may be lucky to meet a more professional customer service officer.

If the above doesn't yield a desired result, drop ur "buttie" cover, put on a Mushin or Ajegunle attitude; shout on top of your voice such that almost everyone in the hall would notice with a thought of "who is this mad/fraustrated fellow?".

Then, I bet your worries would be over in less than an hour and you will smile home with your formerly seemingly traped cash in your hands thinking "Una father; you no know sey I get craze pass"

The plan might be by tinubu but the project actually started under fashola

It started under Tinubu towards the end of his administration. I could remember vividly when Obanikoro at the Guber debate ground promised to council the BRT project if elected cos it's causing a lot of traffic jam on Ikorodu road and that was when Fash first contested with Koro his second term was with Dosunmu.

Tinubu started BRT project just like Fash started Lagos-Badagry Exp project, Tinubu established LASTMA LAWMA, KAI etc

efilefun:
thanks to fashola, that stuff was crazy back then... 22 sitting and 99 standing!!!

Tinubu actually started BRT. Fash only completed it.

Amazing. It means Baba Latin and Ijaduade (Dimeji) has been together way back.

Perseverance pays...

I think Lagos is the number one City in Africa with the most opportunity.

Moyo Ogunlewe

Hon. Bayo Osinowo

I read in one of the threads as reported by Punch that the shootings in Ojota is connected with Ambode/Agbaje guber tussle which is really not the case.

I stay in Ogudu, the shootings and unrest as got to do with the Lagos House of Assembly (Kosofe Constituency 1) elections result which was said to have been marred with a lot riggings and figures generation.

The race is between Hon Bayo Osinowo of APC seeking 4th term and Moyosore Ogunlewe of PDP, son of the former Minister of works, Adeseye Ogunlewe.

It was a keenly contested election with majority of people of the area (Ogudu/Ojota) voting enmass for Moyo Ogunlewe citing Hon. Osinowo's failure to sponsor a single bill and influence a single constituency project in his 3term (12yrs) in office as a reason. This is evident as many polling unit had Ambode of APC defeating Agbaje of PDP while Moyo of PDP defeats Hon Bayo Osinowo. A trend which the people of Ojota described as "Vote of Common Sense".

However, it was garthered that Hon. Bayo Osinowo aka pepper (APC) won massively in Ifako/Anthony area thereby having the highest no. Of votes and was about to be decleared the winner which did not go well with the people of Ojota who obviously voted immensly for Moyo Ogunlewe (PDP) and had thought their votes plus the ones from Oworonsoki was enough to get him (Moyo) into office.

The Nigerian Pilot reported through its official website that Hon. Bayo Osinowo (APC) was decleared the winner with 18842 votes to Moyo Ogunlewe who polled 18755 votes.

Political thugs of both parties who obviously must have been sponsored by their principals, had been protesting and fighting each other.

There is a presence of heavily armed officers (police and soldiers) around the collation centre in Ogudu.

Aggrieved youths are also seen everywhere terrorising the peace of the entire area.

I couldn't take pictures upclose cos of the presence of Soldiers around the area. I only managed to take some which are quite far. Saftey First.

Symphony007:
APC wins and PDP calls to congratulate them, PDP wins and APC alleges malpractice and wants cancellation!! This party is worse than I thought, it's evil will make PDP's look like child's play! Nigerians are in for it.

Intl observers are now APC? I hail your level of naivity.

HumanPsycho:
There is an element of truth in the theme of this article, similar to the fact that people are addicted to the feelings of infatuation & emotional rush, that when it ends they do not mind entering another, locked up in a vicious cycle. ''why do fools fall in love''.
Truely, my mom told me she didn't love my dad at the beginning of their courtship infact in her words, after marriage she 'had to pray to love him' which later happened: now they are happily married.
But here, it is difficult to go into a romantic relationship without emotional motivation, and that motivation is usually a sting or touch of infatuation however small. Love will always be blind. Only the courageous and mentally sound individual will enter with their eyes wide open. Nice article!

You nailed it

dokyOloye:
Did Mbu threaten law abiding Nigerians?
His threat directed at hoodlums and thugs who might want to kill policemen cos law abiding citizens can never do that.
On another note,why not gather Ur sophisticated ppl so U can help and solve some of d problems bedivilling Nigeria like hunger,disease etc.
And possibly take Nigeria to d moon sef.

Mbu's threat is insightful and could have led to impunity on the side of our already corrupt and unprofessional police officers if not for the firmness of our people and indeed APC for taking him to court on time. That sure put him in his place unlike his unruly performance in Rivers and Abuja.

As per fixing the issues you mentioned, it is a collective effort by all. The Yorubas will not fix your place for you, it must be fixed by your people.

SW is by far the most habitable region in Nigeria in terms of accomodation and guarantee of at least (earning) a living which explains the influx of other tribes to the region.

Hate Not.....

What threat? The APC's threat of taking you to ICC and having you stripped of your position did the magic either.

The people of Lagos and indeed the entire people of SW are too sophisticated; too enlightned for you to mess with.

Sure you have been thought a great lesson...

Interesting but weird. Please read.

Successful marriage don’t start with love … they END with it.
Matchmaker Hellen Chen once stated that she thinks we’re spending too much time dating.

If you really want to get married, Chen says, you should simply commit to marriage and let romance happen … later.

According to her, dating is a recipe for heartbreak, and marriage should come first. And strange as it may seem, I think Hellen Chen may just be on to something. Chen says she’s seen too many people date for two, three, even five or more years … and then break up! (We’ve all seen that happen to someone, or possibly even to us.)

If you spend too much time dating, you’re bound to get crushed.

She believes you need a spouse to achieve true happiness and freedom. When you have someone and something to come home to only then will you experience freedom like you never have before.

In her world, the barrier that separates two single people poses the problem, so if you just get rid of that and get married, well, apparently … problem solved.

The case for “settling”

Be warned, singles looking to mingle—Chen’s advice on marrying before “dating” each other is bound to strike you as odd, if not out-and-out preposterous. After all, how do you find the person you want to marry if you don’t date first?

While I haven’t experienced her matchmaking style directly, I know that she’s not expecting you to book a chapel on the first date. That said, her message is clear: Stop nitpicking every date to death and finding reasons NOT to commit to someone.

Stop wasting years and years in relationship limbo, cohabitating with someone you’re not sure about. If you want a happy relationship, you have to settle to some degree. So, stop all this nonsense and just get married already.

Before you go dismissing Chen as some out-of-touch relic, remember that what she’s advocating isn’t much different from what Lori Gottlieb dared to suggest in the book Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough (and the notoriously polarizing Atlantic article of the same name that went viral).

Gottlieb warned us that we’d live to regret the day we let that nice guy, with the receding hairline or questionable spelling, get snapped up by the woman willing to overlook his superficial flaws. If you find something wrong with everyone, you’ll end up past your prime with fewer men to choose from.

I’m personally not a fan of this scarcity-of-men mindset, but she made her point, reached a lot of people, and perhaps humbled more than a few women into solid marriages they might otherwise have missed. (Did Gottlieb herself ever settle? Word on the street, says Melanie Notkin in her book Otherhood, is that she has not.)

Too many choices make it hard to find “The One” 

In his book The Paradox Of Choice, psychologist Barry Schwartz illustrated the theory that too many options tend to confuse people, breed anxiety, and lead to a kind of paralysis when it comes to making decisions. An abundance, or even a perceived abundance, of partner choices may actually prevent you from choosing just one. After all, a better partner might be just around the corner.

Dan Slater, author of Love in the Time of Algorithms believes that online dating even poses a threat to monogamy—or at least happy monogamy. If you know there are other potential mates out there, why would you put up with characteristics you don’t like in one person?

And yet, putting up with all of your partner’s flaws is exactly what you must do, says Chen. That’s the job!

She makes it clear that this is precisely what you’re signing up for, but the payoff is worth every last quirk. Either you marry someone now and start creating a home and a life, or continue to pointlessly date and end up “homeless and loveless” (her words, not mine!).

Here are three reasons why her “marry first, date each other after” approach makes sense:

1. MARRIAGE REQUIRES SERIOUS COMPRIMISE (AND ALWAYS WILL).

The fact is anyone who wants a specific thing must make some compromises to get it, whether it’s something material like a fancy apartment, or something more spiritual like a spouse. And this isn’t even just about marriage. If you want sex without relationship, you can have it, but you’re still making a sacrifice; you risk not having a supportive bond.

If you want marriage more than anything else, you can do that, too, provided you’re willing to do away with the impossible standards and endless dealbreakers you’ve clung to in your search for Mr. Perfect … who doesn’t exist, by the way.

In other words, you must have the willpower to COMMIT first … and then LOVE second. 

After all, it’s only (fairly) recently that we demanded the whole package—true love, intellectual match, perfect partner, and best friend forever. As Stephanie Coontz taught us in Marriage: A History, for most of recorded history, love was  a pretty fickle reason to get married. Marriage was more about creating a family unit and a stable life, which is why today, with so many couples marrying for love alone, so many of us are leaving in droves.

2. DIY ARRANGE MARRIAGE ACTUALLY WORKS. MAYBE IT WILL WORK FOR YOU, TOO.  

You know where I’m going here, right? Because what Chen is essentially telling you to do is perform your own arranged marriage. And you can decide to do it now. If what you want is a committed, long-term bond, then maybe this is the way to go. It’s estimated that 55 percent of the world’s marriages are arranged, 90 percent of which happen in India. The divorce rate, as you probably know, is roughly 50 percent in this country. Guess how many divorces result from arranged marriages? Four percent.

That’s not because people are happier elsewhere or don’t suffer the same emotions or experiences that all couples do. It just means the ones who enter into arranged marriages don’t do so with the same expectations as others do. They kind of say, “He’ll do,” and let the bond form over time. Then, love grows. Certainly not in all cases, but a lot more than you realize. Full lives, children, and a summer home, can all be yours, too.

Do countries where arranged marriages occur have a history of oppressed women, though? Yes. Have women historically been treated as chattel, a bartering chip for securing land, power, and influence? You bet. Do I like the idea of women not being able to choose? Of course not. In a first-world country, you can choose. You just aren’t.

As a non-wed woman (currently in a relationship) who never had the real drive or compulsion to get married, it’s ironic to admit that I’m squarely behind this argument. I realize that, but I am. While we all want to feel loved and connect with someone, we don’t all need to, nor should we all be, married. But if you do want to get married first and foremost, well, Chen’s way makes a lot of sense.

3. A SUCCESSFUL RELATIONSHIP IS SOMETIHNG YOU MUST WORK HARD AT. 

Here’s where our cultural expectations get the best of us. We fall under this spell from a fairly young age, believing we should just have something magical—true, everlasting love. We think it’s our God-given right and fairy tale romance should happen. Then, we’re so beside ourselves when it doesn’t happen the way Disney said it would.

In what other area of your life would you expect something like that to just materialize because you’re entitled to it?

You don’t assume you “deserve” a CEO position if you’ve never held an office job, right? You don’t just walk into a company with no relevant experience and say, “I’ll take that job up there in the corner office.” When they deny you, you stomp out in a huff and complain there are no jobs out there. Of course you wouldn’t do that, but that’s exactly what women (and lots of men) do when it comes to relationships.

I realize corporate hierarchy is a limping analogy, but you do want the job, so to speak. And if you want marriage and to live a married life, you have to start with what’s available and commit to making the most of your life.

I’ll admit, the idea of “dating” the person you married is appealing. It’s enough to make me wonder if we waste all the good stuff while we’re courting and then bore ourselves to tears after we exchange vows.

Chen may have found the secret to marriage. Imagine if the good stuff wasn’t the appetizer, but the main meal. Think of how differently your romantic life would be if you could enjoy all the sexy fun of dating without wondering “where this is going,” because you’re already there.

Danelo:
so Tinubu winning again. why are my people so blind?

Maybe you are the blind here. The PDP in their desperation are selling us out to "Refugees"/"Foreigners" or how else do you explain the fact that we will be represented by 3non-yorubas in the Fed House of Rep? They are obviously going to protect the interest of their various home states rather than that of the state that voted them.

This is obviously not a battle to take Lagos from Tinubu but a battle to rescue our Land from desperate lots who want to sell us out to the Easterners.

Tinubu to the best of my knowlege has got majority (90%) of his investments in Lagos where Lagosinas work and you can't really say the same about other politicians (thiefs).

PDP should stop forcing foreigners on us.
