BIMBO AKINTOLA SIZZLES AT TERRA KULTURE- BULL'S EYE SERIES BY JOSEPH SAMPSON EDGAR

ABIMBOLA AKINTOLA

JOSEPH SAMPSON EDGAR

She had chosen a full house to show us what experts call intense acting. Bimbo was the main pull in this two man play that was written by writer of reference Tyrone Terrence. It was an exciting story about a married couple who after 22 years of marriage were faced with a crisis of identity.  This led the man of the house to find solace in the arms of a much younger lover who so happened to be the friend of their young daughter.


What followed was a long night of introspection, accusation and counter accusation. The husband, Femi didn't understand why his wife could not see that she was the main force behind his indiscretion. Her nagging, cynicism, failure to hero worship him all, led him into the arms of the innocent but very charming arms of Susan.

KEVIN & MARIAH LUCCIANO-GABRIEL'S GLORIOUS WHITE WEDDING IN HERTFORDSHIRE, ENGLAND PART 1-exchange of vows

Most definitely this must have been one of the best arrows that Cupid (the cherub of love) with the good direction of Mariah has shot in recent times. The love arrow sure did hit target well and that target is none other than Kevin Lucciano-Gabriel's heart; it was pierced in a jolly good way. 

The traditional part of the nuptial had been sorted out a while ago in Lagos, Nigeria, but to fully celebrate this great love story and finish the final leg of the nuptial, the gorgeous couple chose far away Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire in the UK, which is about 45 minutes away from London. 

It was a romantic setting all the way. Venue of choice was- The Pond, Micklefield Hall, Saratt Road, Sarratt, Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire, WD3 6AQ, a beautiful building surrounded by a massive expanse of very well tended grounds of many acres. Date was Friday, August 16, 2013. It was scheduled to have started at 12:30 hours, but it started about 30 minutes after the scheduled time. 

Romance pervaded the whole atmosphere and the exchange of vows and rings was witnessed by about 150 people. Who all sat under a beautiful white canopy enjoying the whole atmosphere as the very witty Pastor conducted the whole proceedings and exchange of vows. 

We particularly loved Pastor Tunde Adebayo-Oke's admonition to the couple, and we have some of his quotable quotes, hear him- Every marriage is bespoke, each couple's marriage is signature to them and therefore no need for comparison with others. He also quoted from 1 Thessalonians 4:11 to buttress a particular point, which said ''Make it your goal to live a quiet life, 'minding your own business' and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before.

Minding your own business here according to the pastor, meant the couple are each others topmost business, so they should make conscious effort to mind each other. He went on further to say, they both must beware of friends, especially those who wants to chip in one thing or the other about how things should be and they are also not to listen to outside or side talks as this would affect their relationship. 

It was a beautiful and hilarious ceremony, great admonitions, fantastic off the cuff wisecracks and it didn't take too long as everything went on like a breeze. 

Kevin's friend and partner Gbenga Sokefun, TY Bello's older sibling was his best man, while Isoken Ogiemwonyi's sister Ivie was the Chief Bride's maid. Kevin was decked out looking totally dapper, in a blue Tom Ford suit and Mariah had on a most gorgeous Elie Saab white wedding gown complete with the veil. She was looking virginal and gorgeous.

Some of those who witnessed the exchange of vows were Gbemi Shasore, Ekua Abudu, Lilian Unachukwu, Oloye Ayiri Emame, Eniola & Olamide Adenuga, Isoken Ogiemwonyi, Ugo Okoye & wife, Gbenga Sokefun, Tuface Idibia, Bright Okpocha and very many others.

We hear she has been enjoying loads of attention since she emerged on the music scene.

It is a much bigger and better show, much better venue planned for this year, compared to the ones at the former venue in Camberwell.

When Democracy Fails...BY DR PEREGRINO BRIMAH

Genesis (NIV Bible) 19: 4 Before they had gone to bed, ALL THE MEN FROM EVERY PART OF THE CITY of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house. 5 They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.”

The Cattle (Quran) 6: 116 Wert thou to follow THE COMMON RUN OF THOSE ON EARTH, they will lead thee away from the way of Allah. They follow nothing but conjecture: they do nothing but lie.

In the Palestinian legislative elections of 2006, Hamas won 74 seats to the ruling-Fatah's 45, becoming able to establish a Hamas majority government. The British Conservative head of the European Parliament's monitoring team, Edward McMillan-Scott described the polls as "extremely professional, in line with international standards, free, transparent and without violence." Immediately after the election victory, the Quartet (United Nations, the United States, the European Union, and Russia) and Israel imposed crushing sanctions on the Palestinian authority and this ended in a violent breakup and a divided Palestine. 

In approval of the split, in 2007 sanctions were eased on the Fatah led West Bank, while more severe sanctions placed on the political victors, Hamas and the Gaza strip. The then U.S. secretary of State, Condoleeza Rice immediately added the following statement to the definition of democracy: “Democracy brings not just rights, but it brings obligations and responsibilities too.” Defining democracy as some sort of culture, she went on to say, "And one of those responsibilities is to care for and to be a fighter for peace, and not for war and not for violence."

In Nigeria, during the 5th republic, following the successful introduction of Sharia law in Zamfara state by the then governor, Sani Yarima, there were gigantic protests in the northern states, likewise demanding for Sharia law. Surveys conducted across northern states delivered a response rate solidly in favor of the introduction of Sharia law, in the 73-97% range. See 'Margit Cleveland, “Acceptance of Sharia Law in Nigeria,” in Paul Marshall (ed), The Talibanization of Nigeria: Sharia Law and Religious Freedom.' Credited as 'dividends of democracy,' by 2000, 12 democratically governed northern states in total officially re-adopted Sharia law a century after it had been laid down. The masses supported the adoption of Sharia seeing it as the only solution against the triad of corruption, inequality and poor governance. While many northerners believe the law is not adopted honestly and is used to witch-hunt the poor, while securing impunity for the rich and elite leadership, other Nigerians believe it should never have been adopted. Like it or not, and safe or unsafe within the context of Nigeria as is, the law came into being compliments of democracy. While still discussing Nigeria, the crises of governance in the 4^th, 5^th and 6^th republics delineate democratic realities.

LINDA GODWIN NEEDS YOUR HELP!!!! & URGENTLY SO TOO MAESTROMEDIA PLEA FOR HELP!!!!

LINDA GODWIN- SEE HOW THE THING HAS AFFECTED HER HANDS

The lady whose picture you see above is Linda and she needs your help. The beautiful young lady of just 24 years old, from Imo State is a BREAST cancer patient that is suffering excruciating pain as we speak. 

Her case was detected last year (2012). She had detected a lump and had gone for a scan only to have been told it was a cyst that was none malignant and she was given drugs to deal with the situation. Instead of the situation to be remedied, it only got terribly worse and from her own explanations to us, the breast got worse to the extent it had got rotten and  at a point fell off. 

After her initial treatment at Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) which didn't help matters, she had resorted to 'Native treatment' thinking that could arrest the rot or better still the situation. All to no avail. Her right breast is gone now and the left is in need of urgent treatment.

Now she's back to LUTH for treatment and is presently undergoing chemotherapy. Funds is very limited and they have tried as much as possible already. The sad thing is that, the other breast (left one) is also already feeling the pinch, like she said when we spoke with her, they have already found lymph nodes on her other armpit. So our plea is for HELP!

Linda needs your urgent help, you can be the hands of God to help save her or at least prolong her existence. A stitch in time they say saves nine. Please! Please!! Please!!! Your help is much needed.  

For now we hear she needs about 2 Million plus. Her contact details are as follows- Phone nos- 08171334776. Contact address is 11, Odofin Street, off Idowu Street, Olodi Apapa, Lagos, Nigeria.
