Indeed it is not an easy thing to be a mother let alone carrying a pregnancy for 9 months and the D-day which is day of delivery (D.O D). It is more like day of judgment. Our mothers go through the most excruciating pains you can ever imagine where some of them do not live to survive it.

I am using this pix below to salute the proud mothers in the house and also to wish those aspiring mothers too safe delivery. kiss

Family › Marriage Myths You Should Never Believe (pt1)! by Ratello(op): 10:40pm On Sep 23, 2016
Sometimes, we think we’ve seen so many marriages crash so much that we begin to fantasize about an ideal marriage and allow ourselves to be fed all kinds of stories about the responsibilities that come with being married.

Perhaps, you are in this position creating for yourself some high expectations that are unrealistic in marriage, then, you have got to loosen up a bit and wake up to new realities. Here are some myths you probably must have believed that are very much invalid and remain untrue.

MARRIAGE IS ALL ABOUT LOVE

This statement is really very unrealistic, you might have been told that it is the love you have for your spouse that would keep you both together for a long time in your marriage.

A successful has much more than to be all about love, every marriage comes with its own challenges and you have to be ready to face it together, overcome and triumph, knowing fully well that this isn’t just about the love you both have for each other.

MARRIAGE IS HARD

You probably have seen marriages crashed and have come to a conclusion that marriage definitely is hard. Well, this is not to say that marriage is easy but it isn’t as hard as you think. In as much as you can try everything within your capacity and put in some extra effort to strengthen your relationship and maintain it.

COUPLES IN A HEALTHY AND SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE DO NOT HAVE DISAGREEMENTS

Arguments and disagreement certainly are inevitable in healthy marriages, contrary to what you think. These are in fact a sign that your union is healthy; however the ability to sort out your differences on a peaceful note is what makes it a healthier ordeal.

YOUR SPOUSE CAN CHANGE BASED ON THE LOVE HE OR SHE HAS FOR YOU

If you probably have this in mind before going into any relationship or getting married, you’re probably getting it all wrong because you just cannot change an individual, it is not your responsibility to change anyone or make them conform to your desire.

If they have to change they will without your effort all you have got to do is make them feel loved and if you must correct them, do so with love and with time you will discover how much they are willing to change.

THE LOVE WE HAVE FOR EACH OTHER WILL KEEP US TOGETHER

Trust me, it doesn’t work that way, if your marriage is going to work out well, it is all dependent on you and not just love; you’ve got to decide on this. What would keep you both is the level of commitment and understanding you are willing to exercise in your relationship.

WHEN THINGS GET TOUGH, IT IS BECAUSE YOU MARRIED THE WRONG PERSON

If this is what you think about marriage, then you have got to get your mind renewed because you could experience the worst in marriages that could eventually keep your relationship more strong and healthy. Challenges do not just come your way, it is expected to be a learning process for you both.

Celebrities › Re: Professor Peller - The Enchanting Story Of Nigeria Most Famous Magician! by Ratello(op): 10:06pm On Sep 23, 2016
FAMILY AND CHILDREN
He was a wonderful father and some of his children are as follows:

-TOYIN

-SABURI (aka Pastor Kayode Abiola): Now a pastor, he was born in October 1960 and practised magic like his late father. He gained some degree of prominence before squandering the profits on women, cars and ultimately, drugs. Peller tried his best to assist Kayode when he was alive, he fought with him, took him to court, all to no avail. He later became a changed man after the demise of his father and the dwindling of his own magic firm, which he named Fantastic Young Peller.

-NIKE: Probably the most well-known of the Peller children, Nike Peller is a popular face in the Nigerian movie industry where she featured in many Yoruba flicks. On the 20th of November, 2010, she was made a traditional chief and was conferred upon the title ‘Yeye Agbasaga’ (the Custodian and Promoter of Culture) of Erin Osun, near Osogbo, Osun State.

-SAHEED (aka Zeeto): A lawyer (he practised in England) and also keen on sustaining the magic world created by their late father. In July 2013, he made his sister, Nike, disappear and reappear before an audience in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. See the video here:

-SHINA: Handsome and suave, he is always in the news for his partying lifestyle, love for cars and not too long ago, for allegedly shooting a man in a club over an argument.

HIS DEATH
Yes, Peller was assassinated. It was on fateful day on the 2nd of August 1997. Interestingly, he was killed the same day that Fela Anikulapo-Ransome Kuti also died. Peller was attacked at his residence in while observing his evening prayers at Onipanu, Lagos State and he was fatally shot by unknown gunmen. Nigeria and all kinds of unsolved murders, brutal killings and blood-curdling assassinations.

INTERESTING THINGS ABOUT PROFESSOR PELLER
-He bore the same names (Moshood Abiola) with another popular Nigerian and winner of the 1993 presidential elections, Bashorun Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola.

-Professor Peller was a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians, an association for some of the very best of magicians on earth. Here is the Magician’s Oath: “As a magician I promise never to reveal the secret of any illusion to a non-magician, unless that one swears to uphold the Magician’s Oath in turn. I promise never to perform any illusion for any non-magician without first practicing the effect until I can perform it well enough to maintain the illusion of magic.”

-Right from their childhood, Peller and Baba Sala, popular Nigerian comedian, were best of friends. While making his movies, Baba Sala would include some of Peller’s magical performances.

-During the reign of Peller as the most powerful and influential magician that ever walked the Nigerian soil, there was this tale of bitter and intense rivalry with another magician and herbal medical practitioner from Osun State named Aladokun. Their rivalry was not just superficial, it also had traces of a clash of principles. Aladokun represented the typical African traditional magic while Peller was carrying the flag of the ‘foreign’ and Orient-trained magician. The intense competition brought about by their fights led to even more spectacular displays of magic and illusions. At the end, Peller prevailed, just like Tesla over Edison in the War of the Currents. His wife also stated that the rumour that Peller was once swallowed by Aladokun was false.

-Peller was good friends with the late Obafemi Awolowo, his son, Wole and Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, all of whom enjoyed his shows and gave him tremendous support.

-Professor’s Peller house at the junction of No. 11 Bode Thomas Road and Abe Street in Onipanu, Lagos now belongs to a parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG). When the house was put up for sale, many of the prospective buyers ran away when they learnt it belonged to the late magician. Nigerians are funny sha…lol! When he was alive, his house was a well-known destination and schoolchildren thronged to see the massive picture he put in front of the house, it was Peller in all the glory of the paraphernalia of his magic.

-Although he is the undisputed legend of magic in Nigeria, Professor Peller was said to be a devout Muslim who did not miss any of his Islamic obligations. Here is what his widow said in an interview with the Nigerian Compass in April 2012: “The Professor Peller you knew in public was not the same Eerson at home, especially whenever e was praying. On Fridays, all he enjoyed doing was praising God. He never missednis five daily prayers. Whenever he wanted to pray, he would just wear either an agbada or jalabia and nothing else. Whenever he was praying, he was always very serious, showing utmost piety. In fact, before he got married to me, he told me that he never observed his Subhi prayer at home; he would always go to the mosque wherever he was. At least, we livea together for about 27 years, and I don’t know of any day he missed his five daily prayers. “Oh, yes! If he was not praying, they wouldn’t kill him like that. Ask anybody, if he was not praying, he wouldn’t have been killed just like that. No, no!” She also said that Peller made a mistake when he revealed in an interview with journalists that the only time he was without any magic was when he was praying. His widow believe that his enemies exploited this.

-An extremely confident man, Peller told the African Guardian (Guardian Magazines) in an interview in 1988, that ‘there is nothing like failure. I am the last of the world’s great magicians’.

LEGACY
Without a doubt, the late Peller popularized the art of magic in Nigeria and polished it to such an extent that not even his children have been able to duplicate. He unarguably remains Nigeria’s greatest magician. After conquering Nigeria with his conjuring skills, he went international and received global acclaim. Mention the name Peller and the next thing that comes to mind is magic. But when he died that fateful 2nd of August, it seemed magic in Nigeria died with him. Will there arise another conjurer even far more impressive than Peller in the land? Time will tell.

However, unknown to many, their rosy marriage later had a deep crack to the extent that they were not staying together anymore. When Peller was killed at his Onipanu residence, he was in Lagos State for a function while Lady Peller was living at the GRA, Ikeja. Although they were not officially separated as they still saw regularly, Peller checked on her in Ikeja but met her absence. As at that time, they had already reconciled and were even planning on coming back together before Peller was prematurely silenced by the assassin’s bullets.

Peller left a message for her to check on him as he was not feeling well and was rushed to Ibadan for treatment. Lady Peller was furious as to why he was taken to Ibadan since they had family doctors at the Ajayi Memorial Hospital and the EKO Hospital in Lagos but upon getting to Ibadan, she was simply told that Peller was dead. She fainted immediately only to wake up to a bucket of water and intense fanning by family members. She said: “It was a great shock and I had never seen that kind of things. I don’t ever wish to go through that kind of thing again.” While he was alive, he also taught her some magic and ensured she got some training in Michigan, USA. Little wonder they always performed together and as far as she is concerned, her religion is not against the brand of magic she performed with her late husband because according to her, ‘it was not fetish’. She still remembers the very good old days and says she will not remarry and will still marry him over and over again, rounding off: They only want to enjoy what Professor Peller was enjoying for several years. But they can’t have it.”

DID HE ACTUALLY CUT HIS WIFE INTO TWO?
No. I will not call magic a lie but I will describe it as a well-oiled pack of grandiose dramatization, outright deception, fantastic misdirection and uncanny slyness. There is nothing spiritual about magic, it is nothing but an agglomeration of well-practised tricks. However, if done well, an excellent magician can actually ‘create something out of nothing’ or make the ‘possible from the impossible’ (even if that will look like he or she is going against the established laws of Newtonian physics, it is all an illusion) in a very fluid and convincing manner (in that case, I will call many Nigerian politicians magicians). So what happened that fateful day when Professor Peller allegedly ‘sliced’ his wife into two but could not put her back together and she almost ‘died’?

It was at the National Theatre in Iganmu, Lagos and the Lagos State Governor, Alhaji Lateef Jakande was present at the occasion to represent Chief Obafemi Awolowo. The event started as planned but then the Peller team decided to throw in a suspense-filled event, as their usual practice when they have events following one another every evening. The essence was to create so much suspense so that they will draw in even more crowd by the next day. So for day one, the idea was to create an illusion that he ran into trouble while sawing his wife in half. But then, the next step involved ‘reviving’ her. After the ‘cutting’, which was obviously done with a lot of dramatic effects, the crowd went into a frenzy and began to shout ‘We want Lady Peller!’, ‘Give us Lady Peller!’.

Later in 2012, the 66-year-old Lady Peller was interviewed and asked about the incident and she insisted that Peller actually cut her into two and she even sustained some light injuries. If you really want to clear your mind on this, just watch the video below. Even in hemicorporectomy in surgery where the entire half of a human is severed, survival rate is very low. Enjoy this video and see how magicians ‘cut’ people into halves:
Celebrities › Re: Professor Peller - The Enchanting Story Of Nigeria Most Famous Magician! by Ratello(op): 10:03pm On Sep 23, 2016
Was this African magic? This crude, little thin man who seemed recently woken from the dead? He swallowed a stone and turned his backside to us, slipping his loincloth to one side and excreted the stone. Awfulness and shame. He submitted his abdomen to a sharp sword to be sliced open. But by now, the absence of razzmatazz and of finesse had turned us against him. The crowd poured through the gates. That was how disgusted we were. You can say that at George V stadium, in early adulthood I lost two of my childhood dreams.

A master at his craft and a consummate entertainer, he cast a most powerful spell on the following African leaders, right in their presidential palaces:
-The late President Gnassingbe Eyadema of Togo (Eyadema later died after spending 38 years in power, he was the longest-serving ruler in Africa when he died in 2005 (see his picture below). His son, Faure, is currently the President of Togo).

-The late President Samuel Kanyon Doe of Liberia (see picture below). There is an interesting story behind his performance for the late strongman of Monrovia. There was a time Peller had a performance in Liberia in the 1970s and the crowd was just too massive. The Liberian government drafted security forces to the venue of the act to control the surging crowd. One of those responsible for maintaining security that day at Peller’s performance was a young man called Samuel Doe. So when Doe became President, he summoned Peller, Nigeria’s finest magician to come perform for him. Such was the stellar performance of Peller. Doe said he was busy controlling the surging crowd and he could not witness the even properly as at that time when he was a junior soldier.

-The former President of Benin Republic, Mathieu Kerekou was also one of those who patronized Peller

Apart from the Presidents mentioned above, Peller also reigned supreme in Nigeria. It was like there was no other conjurer in the land. Chief Obafemi Awolowo, the late Premier of the Western Region was one of those he used to entertain regularly.

-Peller was a prolific magician with many shows, some of which were the Invisible General, the Escaping Box, Changing Dresses and the Zigzag. One thing with Peller’s performances is that they were executed with maximum finesse and excellence. He was thorough and professional. Perhaps, if not for death, he might have even eclipsed David Copperfield of the USA in fame. Copperfield is presently the greatest magician on earth and the first person to make one billion dollars from magic.

-While growing up, he was nicknamed Moshood Olori Pupa (Moshood the Red-Headed Boy).

-One of his classical performances included putting his wife in a ‘magical coffin’ and severing the same coffin into two halves with a ‘magic coffin’.

When Peller was performing, there was really no Internet as we have it today, so it was quite easy to fool people in their millions. Now, YouTube is
spoiling the show for many magicians except the most ingenious of them. Here are few more magic clips on YouTube just to let you know they do not conjure any evil spirit or demon, it is nothing but sheer trickery.


LOVE, ROMANCE AND MARRIAGE
He was described as a very romantic man. His most prominent wife, Alhaja Silifat, fell in love with him while she was still in the secondary school. She confessed that she had always admired him and his performances even before then and each time she watched him perform, her heart fluttered with affection for the fine magician with tribal marks.

In 1967, Iseyin Grammar School in Oyo State became the place where Peller planted the seed of love even if he was there to perform but was carried away by the ravishing young beauty in the crowd called Silifat. Hear her: “I am sure he musthave been attracted to me because of my beauty. So, he just whispered to me: ‘Baby, you are beautiful.’ And I said, ‘Thank you.’ He didn’t ask me out that day. For quite a long time, we were friends.” For a couple of years more, they continued dating and Lady Peller said after two years, she said yes to his advances. They got married in 1971 and they already had a child by then.

For a man who was a showstopper at any events, it is no surprise that not a few women fell for the enchanting spell of Nigeria’s most famous magician. He was a man of many women and married many of them. However, the best known of these ladies, with whom he performed his magic tricks is Alhaja Silifat Adeboyin Peller (see picture). The whole of Nigeria knew her as Lady Peller and she is most famous for the act in which she was ‘sliced’ into pieces by Peller and had a hard time putting her back. Now 66 years of age with her husband gone and not remarrying, she is tending to her grandchildren while reminiscing over the glittering wonders of an empire of magic that once held sway. Lady Peller was born in Kishi, Oyo State where her father was the Chief Imam and had five children for him, while also raising many other step-children.

It was one surreal day, around 4:00 pm or so, and I was out on our street for a reason I can’t really remember now, I was pretty young then. Then as I got to the maisuya end of our busy street, I noticed this huge and electrified crowd thronging after a slowly-moving convoy. At the center was a white limousine and from the sun roof, was a man full of charming smiles, waving to the frenzied crowd, he looked very smart, handsome and he was also wearing white, all white, the hat too was white.

It was quite a dazzling spectacle. The limo was headed towards the city stadium where he had a show. I had just set my eyes on Africa’s greatest magician, ‘Professor Peller’. And would never see him again. But for a young African child who was also seeing a limousine for the very first time or so, it was truly a magical moment for me. He performed and left my state leaving incredible tales of outstanding feats. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a piece on Nigeria’s most famous magician, Professor Peller. For about thirty years, Peller held the world’s most populous black nation spellbound with millions gasping at the whisk of his wand. I hope you find this magical.

BIRTH AND EARLY DAYS
He was born in 1941 at Iseyin, Oyo State and he was named Moshood Folorunsho Abiola. He would later pick on the stage name of ‘Professor Peller’, an appellation that has stuck to him like a second skin.

HIS MAGICAL PERFORMANCES AND EXPLOITS
When Professor Peller was alive, he was the most brilliant magician in all of Africa. I am not too sure if the record has been broken. Even in death, Peller remains the greatest of all. He performed not only before princes but also held kings spellbound with his magic. Here is how Femi Oyebode, a Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Birmingham described Peller and one of his shows in 1972 at the George V Stadium in Lagos (that is the old name of the Onikan Stadium):

My last ever visit to the stadium was to see Professor Peller, a magician, and said to be a member of the Magic Circle take on the last of our traditional magicians whose name now escapes me (itself a significant fact). Professor Peller was dressed in black tails, a top hat, a wand in one hand, black shoes and well-cut hair. He was a perfect picture of debonair gentleman and was assisted by an attractive young woman. He flicked his white handkerchief and a white dove flew out. He pulled at his cuff links and flowers bloomed under his command. He was confident, majestic. He was suave and graceful. He levitated his assistant.

He cut her in two without drawing blood. He locked her in a cupboard, chained up several times over yet she disappeared! It was a masterly performance. The crowd clapped, hooped. We were seduced against our better judgment. We wished desperately that the traditional magician would enthrall and endear us to his magic, the mysteries of African magic. We were disappointed or shall I say that I was disappointed. When he came on stage dressed only in a loincloth of indeterminate color, you could hear the audience gasp aloud.

Politics › Re: Ipob Sit At Home Protest Fails Woefully In Imo State by Ratello: 8:57pm On Sep 23, 2016
Abagworo:
The recent threat by the leadership of Indigenous People of
Biafra, IPOB, to shut down the South East geo-political
zone Friday, was largely ignored in Imo State, as people
went about their normal businesses.
All the markets, schools, medical facilities, financial houses
and other business concerns remained open, while the state
police command carefully positioned its personnel at
strategic points, in all the major urban townsy;:: of the state.
Speaking to Friday Vanguard on the preparedness of his
command to counter any threat to peace, the Commissioner
of Police, CP, Mr. Taiwo Lakanu, said “we are fully primed
for action”.
“This command is very friendly to law abiding citizens, but
usually hard on miscreants. I advice IPOB loyalists to try
their luck elsewhere because we are fully primed for
action”, the CP said.


Continuing, Mr. Lakanu said that police presence can be felt
everywhere and appealed to parents and guardians to
caution their children and wards against taking actions that
would pitch them against security agencies.
“I am therefore, assuring Imo people that this command has
installed adequate measures to effectively counter any
IPOB uprising”, Lakanu said.
Meanwhile, some people have attributed the failure of IPOB
order in Owerri, to the counter instruction issued by the
Chief Ralph Uwazuruike-led Biafra Independence
Movement, BIM.


Uwazuruike, who spoke through his Director of Information,
Mr. Sunday Okerafor, urged his loyalists to ignore the order
and go about their lawful businesses.
“The IPOB order is selfish and I’ll timed. Giving such an
order in the face of the current economic hardship inflicted
on Ndigbo by the Nigerian government, will cause more
harm than good”, Uwazuruike reasoned.


While saying that it was senseless to ask Ndigbo to stay
away from their means of livelihood, Chief Uwazuruike
equally debunked IPOB’s claim that it fully discussed with
various Igbo groups before handing down the stay at home
order.
“BIM was never consulted and we would never have
consented to such a sudden order by IPOB”, Uwazuruike
said
Are u truly IGBO Mr Man.

He should start implementing the protocol begining from Onitsha, Umuahia and Aba to redress their inclusion in the reported shaming of the top ten most polluted cities in the world where these three Nigerian cities were featured alongside Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia.

He should come up with a policy and most importantly an action plan to reduce the carbon emissions in those cities due to increasing heavy economic and commercial activities concentrated on densely populated areas.
You of all people should know better that agreements with Nigerian leaders are meant to be broken. Check it out, he is putting pen to paper to what he really understood and the next thing he touched down in Nigeria and "hey presto" he is adding another interpretation to the agreement.

Coldfeets:
What's this nigga talkin' about?

Ladies beware!!!

I hope this nigga is not codedly trying to grab some really desperate ladies out there while using reverse psychology? wink

Nigga, we are men and unless you are the only son or something like that, fact is men have nothing to do with desperation when it comes to marriage

We choose when, where, with who, in short... everything

That's just one of the few remaining privileges that the society has bestowed upon us. Nature also gave us a little helping hand in that regards too by prolonging our expiry date so what desperation are you really talking about?

I think you are just pressurizing yourself now unnecessarily by allowing societal pressure to get the best of you now and not necessarily because you see the need in getting married because I can't recall you mentioning any worthwhile reason for you to get married in your monologue except that you are just feeling desperate.

Or maybe, you are now beginning to panic because fingers are now pointing and tongues are now wagging that you could be gay or something like that, right? And you are now getting desperate to prove to the world that you are not wink

Well, never mind me. You have your reasons. For most guys especially in this part of the world, that reason is usually finance.

On one hand, you have men who are mainly financially handicapped to sustain a healthy marriage. And on the other hand, you have women who are obsessed with getting married but are not readily disposed towards financially contributing to the success of the union because they strongly and myopically believe it's strictly a man's job to financially sustain the union even in the face of reality of unemployment and rising cost of living.

The result is more and more men waiting for a longer while to be fully 'ready' in all ramifications before they even start considering the idea of getting married.

Anyway, whatever be your situation, I wish you good luck in advance in finding that special girl who will help you end that worrisome desperation you are talkin' about.

As for me, I will be getting married in em...em...

Nah, I am never ever going to get married. tongue
You state the facts. Marriage need to be properly looked into before taking that step.

OMAR12:
pat utomi is the best candidate, the records are there for u to see, he is less of a politician and more of a humanitarian, I just love the man.
You need a madman to rule this Country of stiff necked people who needs to be forced to adjusts and set good examples for. Pat Utomi is another Yemi Osinbajo, Goodluck Jonathan. I prefer they draw the curtain after this Buhari administration by 2019 and a military set up takes over by "mopping up" these set of corrupt politicians we currently parade. Buhari should pray to survive his current tenure first. 2019? No we've had enough.
