Wedding gift from Senate President David Mark to Mr. & Mrs Idibia

 

The card on the car clearly says 'wedding gift from Senator David Mark', but the senate president's senior adviser on media, Kola Ologbondiyan, has released a statement denying it. Ologbondiya said:

Senator Mark did not visit Dubai for Tuface wedding rather he attended the 128th Inter parliamentary Union (IPU) conference currently holding in Quito, Ecuador. He was also not represented at Mr. Idibia's wedding. It is also instructive to state that the President of the Senate, Senator Mark, did not make a car donation of any kind to Tuface before departing Nigeria for Ecuador neither did he purchase nor send any car to Dubai as a wedding gift for the musician or his wife. Who made the donation on behalf of the President of the Senate?

It is therefore a puerile lie for anybody to state that Senator Mark bought a Ferrari car worth N47m for Tuface. The allegation is wicked, ridiculous and irresponsible. 

Signed: Kola Ologbondiyan
Special Adviser, Media & Publicity to the President of the Senate David Mark

The Chevy Corvette is worth about N7m and if the Senate president says he didn't buy it, then we should give him the benefit of doubt. I doubt a man of his caliber will buy a wedding gift and then publicly deny buying it. I'm sure 2face Idibia's team will address this when they get back from Dubai.

Small Acts, Big Love

Guys, When last did you help to change the baby's diapers?
When last did you help with the groceries?
When last did you help with the dishes?
When last did you sacrifice watching that match to make dinner for the family?

She doesn't have to ask you before you do it. When she asks you, it loses its essence for her.

When I read "The Five Love languages" by Gary Chapman, I realised that as far as my wife was concerned, nothing spoke louder than "Acts of Service".  For her, actions truly speak louder than words.

Ayo Adesanya: I want to clean my ex-husband tattoo on my body

I decide to share this because it will teach some ladies who are in "crazy" love to think twice before doing things that might hunt them tomorrow. Below is Actress Ayo Adesanya's revelations:

There is need for you to put the record straight?
Of course, I have definitely moved on. I’m not searching. I’m trying to say that I’m satisfied with what I have because I definitely have somebody in my life

Have you finally cleaned your tattoo?
I still have it but it’s fading off gradually. I recently had a surgery. I’m supposed to have gone for another one. I’m clearing it off but it’s so painful. It gets swollen and too painful.

Wasn’t it painful when you were doing it?
It was painful but then removing it is more painful.

What is wrong with this picture?

Not focusing more attention on the lady in this picture but more attention on Skales... Is that the latest fashion in town?

Oscar Pistorius may have killed his girlfriend in a fit of rage

He claimed he mistook his girlfriend for a burglar when he shot her, but South African police has dismissed the claim. They believe the blade runner killed his model girlfriend, 29 year old Reeva Steenkamp, in a fit of rage possibly caused by performance-boosting steroids.

First steroids were found in his home. Then Reeva was found in her night wear, which means she didn't just enter his home at the time he shot her at 3am Thursday morning. The police found a bloody cricket bat in the bedroom. Reeva's skull had been 'crushed' in the attack according to police. They also found a smashed bathroom door. Plus neighbours claimed they heard argument coming from his home earlier in the evening.

The police believe that Oscar first shot Reeva in the bedroom, hit her in the hip. She ran and hid herself in the toilet, he followed her and shot her three more times.

The cause of Goldie's Death - Reddington Hospital Reveals

Reddington Hospital located at 12 Idowu Martins Street, Victoria Island, Lagos revealed that Kennis Music artiste Goldie died of Pulmonary embolism.

Pulmonary embolism is a blockage of the main artery of the lung or one of its branches by a substance that has travelled from elsewhere in the body through the bloodstream (embolism). Pulmonary embolism most commonly results from deep vein thrombosis (a blood clot in the deep veins of the legs or pelvis) that breaks off and migrates to the lung, a process termed venous thromboembolism (VTE). A small proportion of cases are due to the embolization of air, fat, talc in drugs of intravenous drug abusers or amniotic fluid. The obstruction of the blood flow through the lungs and the resultant pressure on the right ventricle of the heart lead to the symptoms and signs of Pulmonary embolism. The risk of Pulmonary embolism is increased in various situations, such as cancer or prolonged bed rest.

10 Things Men Should Never Ask A Woman

These are 10 very annoying questions woman do not like to be asked by men.

1) First of all , a man should never ask a woman if he can kiss her. Asking her for a kiss will only make a man look like a boy, which is what a woman is not interested in, and even if she says "yes", it could mean she is just being polite, while on the inside her attraction meter will read a firm, "No".

2) Secondly , a man should never ask a woman if he can take her out on a date sometime, as she would like to be with a man who is a leader and in control, not someone who asks her permission to hit on her.
A man should confidently ask a woman out, by simply saying, "We should hang out... what's your number?" or tell her about a specific place he wants to take her to.

3) Thirdly , a man should never brag about the car he has or the kind of house he lives in, as it would seem like he is trying hard to impress her.
Women would be far more impressed by a man's material possessions if he does not mention them in conversation.
