Is he alive?! Ohhhh, thank You, Jesus. 🙏🙏🙏

That's the way it should be. I believe they did try to make their marriages work and didn't leave at the first wrongdoing, but their husbands kept messing up. Kudos to them for doing the right thing for themselves. Nobody has the right to cheat, mistreat, or abuse you all in the name of marriage. Kudos to them 👏👏👏👏

You slapped her twice because of what? Maybe if you aren't abusive, she would respect you. If she said she hadn't boiled the water, all you had to do was boil it yourself. This situation (nor would any) didn't warrant you slapping her at all. You were in the wrong.

He kept telling and begging the driver not to speed but the guy didn't listen. As far as I'm concerned, the reckless boat driver killed him and needs to be held responsible.

I just watched the video he made on the boat.

He was on the phone but telling the driver of the boat, "Bros, abeg! Abeg, I get 3 children! Don't speed, bros abeg!".

Did he end up falling in the water?!

The driver of the boat should be arrested and jailed!!!

Whaat?!!! Omg, someone tell me this isn't true!!!

My Vitamix has been getting more use now, thanks to these yummy smoothie cubes.

I just heard one still has the chance to see it later today when the earth blocks the sun tonight.

We must block food - belle must rest - detoxification 😁 detox Monday due to solar eclipse.

No food today we must see the eclipse and we must see it even in Africa.

Army, did you eat today? I've not eaten anything at all all day. I don't always eat breakfast during the week and left home without eating but by noon/1pm I get hungry and usually go to Starbucks to get a sandwich but today I've had no appetite at all, as in no food has touched my mouth. I've only sipped some water like twice but that's it. I feel just fine, despite not eating since last night. I'm just heading home and will eat then but this is definitely unlike me. Does this have anything to do with the eclipse? Lol

DarkCaesar:
I want to be as brief as I can with this, so there would be enough contributions on what’s bothering me.
My Father in law wants me have my marriage ceremony in his compound but I prefer a hall or an event center.
The road to his compound is not very good which would deter a lot of people from coming to grace the occasion. It’s their right to choose the venue according to tradition but I just feel an event center would really have been more gracious than an open settings in his compound, I just felt like he’s trying to show off his new Mansion to the world as he’s a big man in his town and he told me that has been his tradition with his previous daughter. I’m really confused because this development would not allow a lot of the invitees to be there as it’s a bit far from my state and the road is really bad. What can I do about this?

Do you mean it would prevent people you've invited/your own people from attending? Hmm, that would be too bad, so I understand your concern. Idk what sorta tradition this is that the FIL is the one who would decide this decision of one of the most, if not the most important events in YOUR life. You should've discussed this with the lady before now. That said, if they said it's tradition and you're marrying into a family with traditions, if you want to marry their daughter, then you've no choice but to comply with the tradition.

Turns out we are not in the path of totality again this time around either.

I just saw it!!! I saw a lot of people gathered, looking up, so I parked and dashed out with my phone. I looked up and saw the moon and then it disappeared and everywhere got dark!!! And this is just 3pm in the afternoon. In the morning, I thought it would rain according to the weather forecast, but there's no rain. It was really cool and beautiful!!! I got there a bit late but I saw it!!!

Yup. Hoping to see it.

Kobojunkie:
I don't believe Chicago was in the path of totality back then, and even this time around, but yeah, we are required to wear solar glasses to see even what we are able to.

It was.

I will be in the car, thus I don't think I will need any. 😁🤔

I can't wait - but I always miss such. I might be in the toilet and the next, it has passed

Lol. Not when you saw the last one. It's cloudy in my city this morning, so I'm not sure if we'll see much. But I will be driving across a few interconnected cities and hope I'll be able to see something.

cococandy:
I’m not in the path of totality that’s why it’s not that exciting for me. I’m happy for the business owners in that area though. They’re about to sell out of everything. People are trooping there. National guard has to step in and maintain order.
I’ll see what I can view from my far end

Cool

To the other North Americans in here (@Cococandy, ArmyofOne, Descarado, GboyegaD, etc, is anyone else looking forward to tomorrow's total solar eclipse?


YOUR LAST-MINUTE GUIDE TO MONDAY'S TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE

Here's where and when to see the rare celestial event, how to view it safely and a few fun milestones to look out for if you're lucky enough to be in the path of totality.


By Denise Chow and Lucas Thompson

A total solar eclipse will cross North America on Monday, offering millions a rare opportunity to see afternoon skies temporarily darken as the moon blocks the face of the sun.

Tune into NBC News NOW as Lester Holt hosts a two-hour special at 2 p.m. ET Monday from Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

The eclipse's path fortuitously cuts across Mexico, 15 U.S. states and a small part of eastern Canada. In all other states in the continental U.S., viewers will be treated to a partial solar eclipse, with the moon appearing to take a bite out of the sun and obscuring part of its light.


Here’s everything you need to know about the rare celestial event.

What is a solar eclipse?
Solar eclipses occur when the sun, moon and Earth align. The moon passes between Earth and sun, temporarily blocking the sun’s light and casting a shadow on Earth.

A total solar eclipse is when the moon fully obscures the sun, whereas a partial solar eclipse means it blocks just a portion of the sun’s face.

Solar eclipses occur only with the new moon. Because the moon’s orbit around Earth is tilted, the three bodies don’t always line up in a way that creates an eclipse.

“Imagine if the moon’s orbit were in the plane of Earth’s orbit around the sun — if that were the case, then every new moon, you’d have a total solar eclipse and every full moon, you’d have a lunar eclipse,” Neil DeGrasse Tyson, director of the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History, told NBC News. “So, because things don’t always align, it lends to the rarity of the event and the specialness of the event.”

Where and when will the eclipse be visible?
This year’s eclipse will follow a slightly wider path over more populated areas of the continental U.S. than other total solar eclipses have in the recent past.

NASA estimates that 31.6 million people live within what’s known as the path of totality, where the total solar eclipse will be visible. An additional 150 million people live within 200 miles of the path, according to the agency.


Path of the solar eclipse
The path travels through Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. Tiny parts of Michigan and Tennessee will also be able to witness totality if conditions are clear.

After the eclipse crosses into Canada, it will pass over southern Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton, at the eastern end of Nova Scotia.

Those outside the path of totality can still take part in the astronomical event by viewing a partial solar eclipse — visible throughout all 48 states of the contiguous U.S. — or a NASA livestream.

The timing, including how long totality lasts, depends on the location, but some spots will see the moon fully cover the sun for up to 4 minutes and 28 seconds.

Below is a list of timings for some cities along the path of totality, as provided by NASA. A number of other resources, including NationalEclipse.com and TimeandDate.com, can also help people plan.

Dallas: Partial eclipse begins at 12:23 p.m. CT and totality at 1:40 p.m.
Little Rock, Arkansas: Partial eclipse begins at 12:33 p.m. CT and totality at 1:51 p.m.
Cleveland: Partial eclipse begins at 1:59 p.m. ET and totality at 3:13 p.m.
Buffalo, New York: Partial eclipse begins at 2:04 p.m. ET and totality at 3:18 p.m.
Lancaster, New Hampshire: Partial eclipse begins at 2:16 p.m. ET and totality at 3:27 p.m.


What to look for while viewing the total solar eclipse
For people along the path of totality, there are some fun milestones to keep track of as the total solar eclipse unfolds.

As the eclipse progresses and the sun gets thinner in the sky, it will start to get eerily dark, according to Tyson.

When the last beams of sunlight are about to become obscured, look out for the “diamond ring effect”: The sun’s atmosphere will appear as an illuminated halo, and the last light still visible will look like the diamond of a giant ring.

As the sunlight decreases even further, an effect known as Baily’s beads will be created by the moon’s rugged terrain. Tiny “beads” of light will be visible for only a few seconds around the dark moon, as the last bits of sunlight peer through the moon’s mountains and valleys.

When the moon is fully blocking the sun, it is safe to remove eclipse glasses and look at the total solar eclipse with the naked eye.


Some lucky sky-watchers may even catch a glimpse of a comet.

Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks — nicknamed the “devil comet” because an eruption last year left it with two distinct trails of gas and ice in the shape of devil horns — is currently visible from the Northern Hemisphere as it swings through the inner solar system.

The comet can be seen in the early evenings by gazing toward the west-northwest horizon. During the eclipse, when skies darken during totality, it may be possible to see the comet near Jupiter, but its visibility will depend on whether it’s in the middle of an outburst and thus brighter than normal.

Most likely, all eyes will be on the alignment of the moon and sun.

*This post is large. Will probably remove in the next few days but it's up for now.

Anyone else excited for it?

armyofone:


The restaurant has some good country food.

Yes, they do! And good portions too. There was a lineup but the wait wasn't too bad. Besides the Mac n' Cheese, I tried a few other things (country fried shrimps served with a salad and corn muffins, steak fries, etc). It's definitely a place to go when you're feeling hungry and you will leave feeling good because the food is that hearty.

Nigeria is a country with misplaced priorities. If people are setting someone on fire now and burning them to death, nobody will show up to rescue them. Deborah Samuel's murderers are still roaming free with nobody to arrest them. The government themselves are thieves. But somehow it's Bobrisky they're wasting time with, smh.

This lady has lesser responsibilities than I do and her salary is above mine ...
Now she busy ordering clothes online.

Matthew 7: 3-5

3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

Congratulations

While he can never be a woman no matter how much he tries because God did not create him as a woman, the EFCC or whoever should leave him alone. It looks like people have been looking for his downfall before now. If only he didn't have a fall out with Tonto Dike who was good friend, she would come to his rescue.

Sincerely, am not that spending type I don't think have given her money 4k before but I will make sure I will provide what ever she wants to eat anytime she visits me ,food and I is like 2 and 3 that is why I don't lack food stuff in my house ..

You've been dating someone for almost a year and you've never given her money or up to 4k before, yet you're judging her for being stingy. I don't see how you're in any position to talk when you're no different.

I would never do such.

I had really delicious Mac n' Cheese at Cracker Barrel in Michigan last year during my trip to Illinois. When I saw this Cracker Barrel Mac n' Cheese at the grocery store last night, I knew I had to try it. Can't wait to go to C.B again this summer (albeit not Illinois) but in the meantime, this will have to do. It tastes just as delicious.

Oven-Baked Cracker Barrel Mac n' Cheese + Baked New Zealand Lamb Shoulders smothered in Vodka tomato sauce.

When two people love each other, that's how it should be. But they should've found another route to take to avoid this messy road.

Dinner: Fried Rice, Shrimps, Asparagus lightly cooked with olive oil & black pepper, Baked Pacific Salmon

Lunch: Noodles et Shrimps
