FamilyThe Oldest Marriage(84yrs)and Their Secret Is Simple by Tofax(op): 10:14am On Jun 21, 2015
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.

PoliticsGoodbye APC by Tofax(op):
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.

PoliticsPresidential Election: Buhari May Step Down At The Last Minute —report by Tofax(op): 2:51pm On Mar 27, 2015
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!”
