Zelmyra and Herbert Fisher broke The Guinness World Record for the longest marriage. They were married on May 13, 1924. In 2008, they earned the record for longest marriage at 84 years. In 2011, Herbert passed away at 105, and a few years later in 2013, Zelmyra followed at 105 years old as well. When Herbert passed, the couple had been married for 87 years. Before their death, they were interviewed about their secrets to everlasting love…and their answers are astoundingly simple. Before they passed, they were interviewed about what it takes to have a beautiful marriage that lasts a lifetime. See their simple and sweet answers below. 1. What made you realize that you could spend the rest of your lives together? Were you scared at all? With each day that passed, our relationship was more solid and secure. Divorce was NEVER an option, or even a thought. 2. How did you know your spouse was the right one for you? We grew up together and were best friends before we married. A friend is for life; our marriage has lasted a lifetime 3. Is there anything you would do differently after more than 80 years of marriage? We wouldn’t change a thing. There’s no secret to our marriage, we just did what was needed for each other and our family. 4. What is your advice to someone who is trying to keep the faith that Mr. Right is really out there? Zelmyra: Mine was just around the corner! He is never too far away, so keep the faith – when you meet him, you’ll know. 5. What was the best piece of marriage advice you ever received? Respect, support, and communicate with each other. Be faithful, honest, and true. Love each other with ALL of your heart. 6. What are the most important attributes of a good spouse? Zelmyra: A hard worker and a good provider. The 1920s were hard, but Herbert wanted and provided the best for us. I married a good man! 7. What is your best Valentine’s Day memory? Zelmyra: I cook dinner every day. Herbert left work early and surprised me; he cooked dinner for me! He is a VERY good cook! Herbert: I said that I was going to cook dinner for her and [that] she could relax. The look on her face and clean plate made my day! 8. You got married very young – how did you both manage to grow as individuals yet not grow apart as a couple? Everyone who plants a seed and harvests the crop celebrates together. We are individuals, but accomplish more together. 9. What is your fondest memory of your 85-year marriage? Our legacy: 5 children, 10 grandchildren, 9 great- grandchildren, and 1 great-great grandchild. 10. Does communicating get easier with time? How do you keep your patience? The children are grown, so we talk more now. We can enjoy our time on the porch or our rocking chairs – together. 11. How did you cope when you had to be physically separated for long periods of time? Herbert: We were apart for 2 months when Z was hospitalized with our 5th child. It was the most difficult time of my life. Zelmyra’s mother helped me with the house and the other children, otherwise I would have lost my mind. 12. At the end of bad relationship day, what is the most important thing to remind yourselves? Remember marriage is not a contest, never keep a score. God has put the two of you together on the same team to win. 13. Is fighting important? Never physically! Agree that it’s okay to disagree, and fight for what really matters. Learn to bend – not break! 14. What’s the one thing you have in common that transcends everything else? We are both Christians and believe in God. Marriage is a commitment to the Lord.We pray with and for each other every day. Zelmyra and Herbert had an inspiring marriage, and we are lucky to have their advice. After 87 years, it was clear that they were as in love as the day they were married.

toluxa1:My brother, i wonder o.The truth is that there's no Job in the country. The Supply is more than the Demand so the reason for all this discrimination. Can anyone show me those that graduated in the 60s-80s with 3rd class and Pass without a job? Infact they occupy various top positions with foreign mushroom advance degrees. |
iamrealdeji:Thanks for the correction. But pls let PMB & his media team take note,we can't afford another blunder in the international stage. |

"Today if anything will stir me to fight, it is my belief that Biafra was right. When I was growing up, we were told a lot of things to hate Biafra. Maybe some of us were persuaded. But the more I grow up, the more I realize that it was the greatest mistake we made for not allowing Biafra to stand". "You might not feel the pain that I feel, but if an Igbo man does not feel the pain that I feel, I am sorry for him. If an Urhobo man doesn't feel the pain, I am sorry for him". "What Ojukwu lived and died for, in the coming years, we will see it with our eyes because of the arrogance of a few people that were born to rule". "For the first time in history, the divide and rule tactics of those who have kept us down. "Our gathering today is to bring the gathering of the dispossessed and oppressed people of the Middle Belt, Ndigbo people and the people of the Niger Delta together and we are going to move like a force". dailypost.ng/2013/05/04/asari-dokubo-regrets-fall-of-biafra-says-south-east-and-middle-belt-deserve-presidency/ |
One of the greatest benefit of the Jonathan loss is that Nigeria has also lost an opposition in the manner of the APC. Its a great day for our country to be free of an opposition party that elevated opposition to government to the level of opposition to nation. I will not wish my enemy an opposition like the APC. I even pray that the PDP will not form the kind of opposition that the APC represented. Here was an opposition that opposed virtually everything. I pray their body chemistry is reprogrammed thoroughly so they don’t oppose themselves when they get into office. The APC equally elevated Jonathan denigrating to almost Nigeria denigrating. They groomed social media hirelings and mentored thousands of muck rakers. It was the APC that re-defined patriotism to mean how much and how hard you can lash out at the President. Young men and women formed comrades of fellowship and bonded together in muck raking. Anything dished out by a comrade is liked, retweeted and shared, at times without even reading true. On one hand, they were asking the President to grant amnesty to terrorists, on the other hand they were accusing him of being too soft on the terrorists, then they asked him to pull out the JTF from the north east and then condemned the state of emergency , while exciting themselves with angry lashes each time a bomb tore lives and limbs. I’ve never seen these kind of demon possessed opposition before. you can never do anything right in their sight. If a train derails from its cause, it serves their purpose, if a plane crashes, it gives them the needed adrenaline,if bombs goes off, it helps, even when Nigeria loses a football match, you’d hear taunts of mockery from their social media hirelings and propitiators. It must have been a nightmare for President Jonathan. The man is even built with reinforced steel to even be forcing smiles and moving like all its well. It even took him great guts to think of contesting again. They had troubled him weary and worn him out completely. A huge example is the Baga story. When our soldiers retreat in battle and called it tactical manoeuvre, they were scorned and referred to as as Jonathan’s army of cowards. When the army saboteurs are identified and court marshalled, the opposition will openly align with the soldiers and give them some morale. Then when the soldiers struck Baga with equal veracity, pictures of mass destruction and genocide were released to the international community. Videos of fake soldiers beheading civilians were shared, then the United States pushed their Leahy law and we got into serious trouble getting the right equipments for the war. The day I knew what this party has done on our psyche was the day we were launching the Support Our Troops Against Terrorists ( SOTAT) program in portharcourt. I am privileged to have very close friends and brothers who both belong to the APC and PDP. When I spoke to one of my close lieutenants about the idea of SOTAT, he said ‘Oga, this your SOTAT na Jonathan support oo, but anyhow we go follow you”. I smiled, but I was petrified inside me. So supporting a federal institution like the armed forces was seen as supporting Jonathan. That was the depth at which we have gotten to in opposition. In the next 24 hours, the APC will lose the impetus and ability to spread gory tales about Nigeria. They will now applaud any international firm that refers to Nigeria as an emerging economy. They will encourage investors to come in and down play the past magnifying of Boko Haram. They won’t applaud any quack Ghanaian professor, or any US senator, or South African President who insults our President. They will lose the urge to focus on our challenges rather than our strength. As General Buhari takes over in the next few hours, I celebrate the extinction of the essence that characterises the APC. I pray the PDP doesn’t pick up that demonic spirit. I pray the PDP forms a shadow government, appoint shadow minister for each ministry and criticise constructively by proffering alternative solutions where necessary and applauding where it is necessary. I pray we don’t get our youths to mock economic policies like the Cassava Bread by using it as an object of caricature. I pray that we stop politicking now and resume in 2018. I pray that we begin the process of re-orientation immediately. Jekwu Ozoemene has often mesmerised me with his theory of Citizen Leadership. The concept of let the citizens lead. The concept of individual responsibility. The concept of knowing your responsibilities as much, or much more than you know your right. An ideology that breeds the triumph of nationalism and dwindles the triumph of politics. Today I bid good bye to the APC. We will never have this type again. God bless Nigeria. Culled from PBN |

Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.), has reportedly come under pressure to back out of the race. A report this morning in The SUPREME, a Lagos-based weekly newspaper, said that the pressure piled up on Buhari “when some top stakeholders of APC met with those of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Wednesday in the house of a top PDP stalwart in Maitama area of Abuja.” The paper said that the closed-door meeting “lasted till late in the evening,” adding: “Top on the agenda was for Buhari to step down and for him to nominate his choice for sensitive portfolios in President Goodluck Jonathan’s second term.” According to The SUPREME in the story entitled ‘Shocker! 24-Hours To Election: Has Buhari Stepped Down?’: “There are speculations that the presidential hopeful of the All Progressives Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari may have decided to take the back seat by stepping down from contesting Saturday March 28, 2015 presidential election.” But spokesman for APC, Lai Mohammed, dismissed the report. An angry Lai Mohammed told the paper on telephone yesterday evening: “It is idiotic to even think of that. Do you know who General Buhari is? He can never do such a thing.” He added that “nobody in APC can discuss such a thing. It is idiotic, it is nonsense!” http://www.newsexpressngr.com/news/detail.php?news=10359&title=Presidential-Election:-Buhari-may-step-down-at-the-last-minute-—Report |
