TOUCHING ADVICE FROM A MOTHER TO HER DAUGHTER ON HER WEDDING DAY





The best woman a man can have in his life is a wife who is not promiscuous and knows God truly. The best person a lady needs when she's getting married is a mum who's a virtuous woman. Read below:

My beautiful daughter, you are now a wife and soon you’ll be become a mother too. God bear me witness that I taught you how to cook and do other house chores. I taught you to respect your man and to explain your anger to him when necessary but if you do otherwise, I know you, not as a daughter but as my fellow woman.

My daughter, you see this your husband? You have told me that he is a gentleman, but don’t take advantage of that. Don’t bring out the beast in him...

My daughter, you see this mark on my forehead? Your father gave it to me. He tolerated me every time but on that day, he came unexpectedly. It wasn’t his intention but i dared him and he hit hard.

Ben Carson Knocks Donald Trump From Top Spot





For the first time in months, a national poll shows Donald Trump is not leading the Republican 2016 primary race, and instead has Ben Carson in first place.

Carson won the support of 26% of Republican primary voters, compared to 22% who are backing Trump, according to CBS News/New York Times. Though within the poll's margin of error, it marks the first time since the billionaire businessman's dominant rise over the summer where he has been bumped from the top spot nationally.

The new numbers also represent a reversal from the last CBS/New York Times poll, taken more than a month ago, which saw Trump leading Carson 27%-23%.

Carson and Trump have been running consistently neck-and-neck since the start of September -- with other candidates struggling to keep pace.

“How My Mother’s Phone Call Saved My Life During The Attacks in South Africa”c







Few months ago, Stephen Adigun a.k.a OBT; a young Nigerian student studying in South Africa, spent a quiet night engaging in a long distance phone call with his mom who resides in Ibadan. As they laughed, conversed and played catch-up over the phone, it never occurred to him that that seemingly casual gist could very well mean the difference between life and death..

According to OBT, the conversation had begun like any other. “She wanted to know how I was faring personally and how things were going with my studies. She wanted to know if I was eating enough and reading enough. She even made a few jokes about how skinny I was looking in the last photo I sent her”

MTN NIGERIA HIT WITH N1.04 TRILLION FINE







The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has issued a landmark fine of N1.04 trillion ($5.2bn) against MTN Nigeria, the largest mobile network operator in the country for failing to disconnect subscribers with unregistered and incomplete subscriber identification modules (SIM) cards within the stipulated time.

The fine which is the largest in the history of telecom infringements may redefine the relationships between telecommunications operators and the regulator. Technology Times which broke the story last night said NCC fined MTN Nigeria “for allegedly undermining efforts by the Nigerian government to tackle security challenges and the war on terror and allied crimes, as the telecoms operator has allegedly refused to deactivate unregistered mobile phone lines on its network”.


A top official of MTN Nigeria who is not authorised to speak on the matter however confirmed to that NCC truly issued the fine against MTN Nigeria. The official said “This fine is unprecedented in the history of Nigeria. The amount is even bigger than the entire budget of the Federal Government of Nigeria. It is enough to make the operator close its operations in the country.” He said.

Donald Trump : “Some Africans Are Lazy Fools Only Good At Eating & Stealing”




The first question that came to my mind when I read the below statements by Trump: Is this what modern leadership all about or it is Trumptatorship?

Read the below:

Once again, US business magnate Donald Trump has expressed his deep disgust for Africans by referring to them as lazy fools only good at eating, lovemaking and thuggery. Speaking in Indianapolis, Trump who is also the republican Presidential torch bearer reiterated his promise to deport Africans especially those of Kenyan origin including their son Barrack Obama.

“African Americans are very lazy. The best they can do is gallivanting around ghettoes, lamenting how they are discriminated. These are the people America doesn’t need.
They are the enemies of progress. Look at African countries like Kenya for instance, those people are stealing from their own government and go to invest the money in foreign countries.

The World's Worst Airports For 2015 (Port Harcourt Airport Top The List)


Port-Harcourt International Airport before renovation works commenced

  
Traveling through Nigeria's Port Harcourt International Airport any time soon?

Sorry for your luck.

The African terminal received the unfortunate distinction of being named "world's worst airport" in 2015 by travel website The Guide to Sleeping in Airports.

This year's survey, which asked fliers to identify the world's worst and best aviation terminals, attracted 26,297 qualifying responses.

Despite the site's name, airports weren't just rated according to how easy it is to take a nap while inside them.

Sleeping in Airports' readers were asked to judge facilities in four categories: comfort, conveniences, cleanliness and customer service.

What landed Port Harcourt at the top of the pile?

Respondents reportedly complained about unpleasant and unhelpful staff, alleged corruption, a severe lack of seating, broken air-conditioning and the fact that the arrivals hall was inside a tent.

"The good news is that some areas of the terminal have been recently renovated, meaning you can expect actual walls, floors and windows," says the website.

"Though it is a far cry from reasonable, improvements are being made."

Consistently bad: Saudi Arabia's King Abdulaziz International Airport
CNN has asked for a comment from aviation authorities in Nigeria, but so far no response.

Khloe Kardashian is at Lamar Odom's bedside because she cares about him, and we've learned Lamar has not let divorce get in the way of his feelings, because she stands to inherit a big chunk of his fortune.

As we reported, Khloe and Lamar had a prenup, separating her money from his. Multiple sources familiar with the situation tell us Lamar does not have a will. Under the laws of California, if he were to die, Khloe would be entitled to 1/3 of Lamar's personal fortune. His kids would get the remaining 2/3.

Lamar Odom, Ex-NBA Player & Reality TV Star, Found Unconscious At Brothel





Former NBA star Lamar Odom, who won two championships and later married reality TV star Khloe Kardashian, is hospitalized after being found unconscious at a brothel in Nevada.

Odom was found unresponsive Tuesday at the Love Ranch in Crystal, the Nye County Sheriff's Office said.

Carson Raises Millions, Surpass & Surprised All






RANDLEMAN, N.C. (AP) -- She had never before given more than a few hundred dollars to a politician. But two weeks ago, Jacquelyn Monroe, a single mother who plays the piano for a living, decided to raise $100,000 for Ben Carson.

Inspired by a brief meeting at the hotel where she works, the 45-year-old Georgia woman joined an army of middle-class Americans fueling the fundraising juggernaut that is Carson's Republican presidential campaign.

"It's not something that I would normally set out to do," said Monroe, who added she was moved by Carson's authenticity and Christian faith and coaxed into collecting money from friends and business associates by his ambitious campaign staff. "$100,000-plus is a big deal for me."
