Dear LIB readers: Is thisapplicable to marriage?

From a LIB reader I believe so much in this Chinese
proverb: “No matter how far
you have gone in the wrong
direction, as soon as you know,
turn back." Progress means
getting nearer to the place you want to be. And if you have
taken a wrong turning, then to go
forward does not get you any
nearer. If you are on the wrong road,
progress means doing an about-
turn and walking back to the
right road; and in that case the
man who turns back soonest is
the most progressive man. (Is this applicable to marriage? What
do you do when you realize you
have been with the wrong man
or woman?)

Gunmen attack AviationMinister Stella Oduah's car -Police

The FCT Police Command on Monday in
Abuja confirmed that gunmen fired
shots at the car of the Minister of
Aviation, Ms Stella Oduah in Abuja. The spokesperson of the command, Altine
Daniel, told the News Agency of Nigeria that the incident occurred at about 10 p.m. on Friday. She added that the minister was not in
the car when the incident took place. Ms. Daniel, a Deputy Superintendent of
Police, however, said that the incident
was reported to the police on
Monday at about 5:30 p.m. According
to her, some metal objects were found
in the vehicle which do not look like the conventional bullet. “The objects
will be subjected to ballistic test,” she
said. According to her, investigation
into the incident has begun. Continue... Also confirming the shooting, the
Special Adviser to the minister, Joe Obi,
said that the attack took place at the
Ministers’ Hill, Maitama in Abuja.
“Fortunately, the minister was not in
the car at the time the attack took place.
“An official report has been made to
the police and the police are currently
investigating it,” Mr. Obi said. Mrs. Oduah has been in the news
recently over her roles in the
controversial inflated purchase of two
bullet proof cars by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, for N255 million; with many Nigerians calling for
her sack and prosecution.
President Goodluck Jonathan on Sunday confirmed that he had
received the report of a three-man
committee set up to probe the role of
the minister in the scandal. (NAN)

Popular Nigerian DJ, DJhumility, slams US rapperWale on Twitter

DJ Humility's outburst most likely has
something to do with Wale's absence
at Ice Prince's concert last night. (They
know things we don't know). Wale's reason for not coming didn't make much sense but I know he will be here
next weekend November 30th for the
Johnnie Walker event.

Nigerian teenager arrestedin Italy for killing 60 yearold woman

A 19 year old Nigerian homeless man
has been arrested in Italy for killing a
60 year old woman. Nwajiobi Donald
(pictured above) strangled Caterina
Susca with a bag over her head in her
home in Bari, a southern Italian coastal city on Monday November 11th.
Unknown to him, a neighbor took his
pictures as he left Susca’s house
after the murder. Donald confessed to
the murder on November 14th after he
was arrested by police who confronted him with numerous pieces
of incriminating evidence collected in
the hours immediately following the
crime. According to reports, the victim was
found semi-naked with a plastic bag
over her head and her skull crushed in.
Donald said he killed the woman in self
defense after she attacked him with a
pair of scissors in her home. Donald, who is homeless, claimed he met the
victim on the morning of the incident
and asked her for food; the lady asked
him to follow her home with a promise
to give him something to eat only to
attack him but investigators believe Donald was trying to steal from the
woman and when caught in the act,
attacked and suffocated her with a
plastic bag after beating her up. Police
say some money and a phone was
stolen from the deceased. Donald is currently remanded in prison
after a judge refused him bail...

federal govt proposed funding for

release of N100billion this year. The
remaining N1.1trillion would be spread for 5 years. They made this resolution after their

Angola reportedly bansIslam. How can they do thatthough?

Shouldn't there be freedom of religion
to every citizen of a country, so how
can Angola do this? If reports are to be
believed then the Southern African
country has become the first country
in the world to ban the Islamic religion. According to multiple reports coming
from Angola, Mosques in the country
have been closed down and some
even destroyed. The Guardian reports that on November 22, the Angolan Minister of
Culture Rosa Cruz e Silva said that
“the process of legalization of Islam
has not been approved by the Ministry
of Justice and Human Rights and so
their mosques would be closed until further notice.” Does a religion need to be legalized?
The minister also said that the closing
of mosques was done in a move to
stop so-called 'illegal religious sects.'
Under new laws in Angola, many
religious sects have suddenly become criminal. Yesterday November 24, Angola
President José Eduardo dos Santos said
that the country is working toward
putting an end to Islamic influence in
Angola once and for all while the
Governor of Luanda, Bento Bento, said that “radical” Muslims are not
welcome in the country and that the
Angolan government will not be
legalizing mosques or other places of
worship for Muslims.

has become so rare that some people
mistake it for flirtation. Jay Z bought
drinks for a Belgian model and her
friends at a nite club and the lady did
an interview about it like he's trying to leave his wife for he... From The Mirror Jay Z is said to have bought

partying with gorgeous model Claudia Scheelen in Antwerp’s
Magic nightclub last month. Claudia, 27, told the Mirror: “I
was with my girlfriends and he
sent over a drink to us – he had
this huge bottle of Ace of Spades
champagne, it must have been
six or ten litres. “He told me ‘I’ve been all
over the entire world, but the
girls in Antwerp are the prettiest
girls.’”Claudia says Jay Z
didn’t talk about his wife or
one-year-old daughter when they met. “He didn’t mention
Beyoncé or Blu once,” she

Timaya: “EmpressNjamah has a NegativeRecord…It Affected Me” |Music Star to ReleaseMemoir in 2014

It seems you won’t be seeing this famous ex couple smiling together anytime soon. Nigerian music star Timaya is opening up about his relationship with Nollywood
actress Empress Njamah. And Timaya doesn’t have anything nice to say. An editor at Punch Newspaper was recently invited to his Lekki, Lagos home for a one-on-one with the self proclaimed Egberi Papa 1 of Bayelsa. Timaya and Empress broke up in 2009. On the much publicized split: “You should not date somebody who already has a negative record. In my own case, it affected me at that time. I feel that a relationship should be between two people and not exposed to the rest of the world. Only a smart man is able to keep his relationship private.” On how a relationship should be: “You see, Desmond Elliot and (DJ) Jimmy Jatt are both married, but you will never see their wives in public. Naturally I’m a private person. The only thing that takes me out of my shell is my music, which is what I do for a living. It seems that the only thing people know about me is that ugly episode. So I don’t like to talk about it.” On his controversial songs: “A lot of people think I love the female backside a lot and that is why I sing about it all the time. But then, people will always complain, no matter what you do. When I was still singing conscious music they complained that my songs were always full of bile and loathing. The truth is that I sing about the way I feel at any point.” On getting married soon (He reveals he is in a “healthy” relationship): “I am not considering marriage for now. But it is something I must do. Before now, I wanted a child and God gave me one. I don’t want to have children from different women. My father had 15 children and I am the last child. I don’t want to live like that. The truth is, I’m not ready to get married now” He is also set to release a memoir in 2014. What will it be about? He reveals he will tell “the story of a ex-girlfriend of mine who always wanted to have sex
whenever she was in the mood for it”. Ouch. Burn!

Kim Kardashian denieslosing baby weight with thehelp of surgery

In an article titled Kim Kardashian's
Sneaky Tricks Revealed: How She
Really Got Her Body Back After Baby, Life&Style claim the reality star got her body back with the help of $80k plastic
surgery Five months after giving birth to
baby North, Kim Kardashian
looks hotter than ever. But while
Kim says that she's shed the 70
pounds of pregnancy weight by
doing the Atkins Diet and exercising, Life & Style can
exclusively reveal that the reality
star has also been sneaking off to
get secret cutting-edge cosmetic
procedures to get her body back. A source says the new mom has
been seeing Dr. Simon Ourian, a
Beverly Hills cosmetic plastic
surgeon based at the discreet
and upscale Epione clinic. She’s
been getting work done, including fillers, stretch-mark
treatments and a fat-reducing
ultrasound procedure on her
stomach that costs up to $5,000 a
session. Kim K took to Twitter a few hours ago
to deny the report. See what she
wrote after the cut... Life & Style continues... Kim, who most recently visited
Dr. Ourian on Nov. 13, gets the
Coolaser treatment, which chills
the skin and then uses light
pulses to vaporize skin cells —
removing wrinkles, scars, saggy skin and stretch marks. “It’s popular with celebrities
post-baby to reduce stretch
marks and sagging in the tummy
and breast areas,” an insider
tells Life & Style. The Epione clinic
can also use ultrasound to melt a layer of fat just beneath the skin. While Kim's rep denies she’s
being treated by Dr. Ourian,
insiders tell the mag that she's
going to great lengths to keep
her visits a secret. A source from the clinic shares
that “Kim and other high-profile
clients can sneak in through a
back door” to keep from run-ins
with the paparazzi. And during
one trip to a laser hair-removal clinic — another of Kim’s
secret weapons — she
pretended to be visiting the
Pilates studio next door. “She
even wore workout clothes to
throw off the photographers and begged them to make it look like
she was going inside to work out,
not to get laser treatments,” an
insider spills to Life & Style.

man suspected of killing her(his roommate)

Found more details about 26 year old Adaobi Michella Obih who was found dead on Tuesday Nov. 19th at an apartment in Columbus, Indiana. The man suspected of killing her, 36 year old Ryan Allen Klug, was her roommate. Adaobi was stabbed multiple times and her throat cut.

From Fox59.com

Police were alerted to Obih’s death after she missed work Monday and Tuesday without notifying anyone. Concerned coworkers contacted her apartment complex to ask about her. Police also contacted the property manager to request a welfare check, according to the arrest affidavit.
A maintenance worked went to check on the woman and said, “It’s not good, there is blood everywhere” after going to Obih’s apartment.
A neighbor said he noticed that the door to Obih’s garage spot was open and had been open for at least 24 hours. Klug, who police described as Obih’s roommate, parked his vehicle there.
The maintenance worker told police there were no signs of forced entry at the apartment and that only two people would’ve had keys: Obih and Klug. The maintenance worker told police he found Obih with a “large amount of blood around her head” and said it appeared clear that she was dead.

Police talked to Obih’s boyfriend, who revealed that he’d texted and called her multiple times but never heard back. The last message he received from her was at 12:17 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 17. When she failed to respond, he went to her apartment, saw her car in the parking lot and knocked on the door. Obih didn’t answer.

A neighbor who lives in the apartment below Obih’s said it sounded like someone was moving furniture during Sunday afternoon. “It went on for more than three minutes,” the neighbor said, adding that it happened shortly before tornado warnings went off for Sunday’s storms.

Police said Klug had texted a pastor asking him to call. When the pastor did so, Klug answered and said he couldn’t talk at the time.

Further investigation found that Obih had been stabbed multiple times and her throat cut. A blood trail went from the woman’s bedroom to Klug’s, and police said it appeared “the assailant attempted to clean up in the bathroom area belonging to Mr. Klug.” They also found a bloody towel in Klug’s sink. Police located a plastic bag containing a bloody sock and other clothes stained with blood, including blue jeans, boxers and a shirt. Police said the “amount of blood on these items was significant.”

Police found a trail of small blood drops leading from the apartment to the garage where Klug parked his vehicle. His 2008 silver Subaru Legacy was not parked in the garage.

Klug works for the Indiana Department of Transportation, and police contacted his supervisor, who told them Klug’s behavior had been “off” lately. He sent a text message Sunday saying, “sick tomorrow, then vacation next two weeks.” His supervisor said the message was out of character and also violated the department’s vacation time policy. Klug did not return texts or phone calls, his supervisor said. He didn’t show up at work Monday or Tuesday.

Klug’s stepmother and father said they hadn’t heard from him for several days.

His brother told police he’d spoken with Klug about two weeks ago. Klug wanted to get back with a girl he’d dated. The relationship ended about a year ago. His brother told Klug to call her; he said Klug discovered she was dating someone else and told him, “I’m losing control.”

Omotena crooner, Joshua Iniyezo,popularly known as Solidstar,tellsPunchNG about his career andrelationship with actress, Tonto Dikeh Your album is coming out andthe public expectation is wayhigher than your last album.What do you have to offer yourfans? I know there is a lot of expectation ofme career-wise. I know I will live upto the expectation because I justreleased two songs online and thereviews are great. They are reallydoing well though we just released them online. The two songs are offthe album. We just want everybodyto go and get the album when it is outbecause there is going to be differentthings from Solidstar. People shouldexpect different things from me because they know me as this R‘n’B artiste but I changed theirperception when I released,Omotena and Skibo. I want my fansto know that apart from this afro-pop, I still do reggae, dancehall and the likes. It is more like a veryversatile album. I just want to giveeverybody a different feel andvarious options to choose from. This year has been good for you.It has been reported that youacquired multi-million nairaproperties this year alone. Whatdid you do differently? Last year, I performed a lot but mostof them were free shows. I was onlypaid for a few. This year I made a lotof money, did a lot of things for achange. I told my team that we hadto sit up. We had spent a lot on projects and we had to think of waysto get the money back. We had ameeting and decided that we all hadto put in our best in whatever projectwe were doing. We thank God itworked out well. Now I am proud of not just my label, but of myself also. You are still with the label thatdiscovered you, Achivas Music.Will you leave it at anytime likesome artistes do leave theirrecord labels? I doubt if I will leave Achivas Musicanytime soon because themanagement has been doing well. Itis hard to stay on your own becausethe challenge can be overwhelming.Even if I want to go, I will still be under it; something like an affiliationbecause it will not be easy. For now, Iam still with Achievas. You are known to be very closeto Tuface, why are you notsigned to his record label,Hypertek Records? I was already signed to AchivasMusic before Hypertek Recordsbecame my friend. I knew Tufacethrough my record label. We becamevery close that some people eventhought I was signed under Hypertek. Kudos to Tuface, I reallyappreciate what he has done for meover the years. He is part of mysuccess story. He got me fame andfortune and I am really grateful tohim. How is your grandmother whohas always been there tosupport you and your dream? My grandmother is late now. To methen, she was my everything; shemeant the whole world to me andgave me all her support that my ownmother and father did not give me.She sent me to school with the little she had. She was a prophetess andshe had a church. She was the kind ofwoman that liked helping people andhad a lot of people under her wings.She really tried for me and she issomebody that I will never forget. My granny would do anything to see mehappy and I was her favouritegrandchild. How do you feel, knowing yourgrandmother is not alive towitness your success? I think about it most time andanytime I do, I feel very bad. I don’tcry though but I think about it. I justwish she was here to see her sondoing good; if she were alive, shewould never go hungry for a day. While she was alive, she never everwanted to see me hungry. By now, Iprobably would have bought a housefor her. I would have taken her tosomewhere special. Is it true that you bought a 2013Infinity SUV for N13m? Why areyou not riding it about? With the kind of weather we areexperiencing now, there are justsome places you would not want totake it to. Is it true you recently bought aproperty worth about N30m? Yes, I did. Do you have any endorsement deal? No. I don’t. How did you get all that money? I got them from shows; God has beenreally merciful to me. He has been sowonderful to me. I did tours and gotmoney from that too. Why did you switch from lovesongs to party songs? I do music for love but at the sametime, you have to look at themonetary aspect. We have spent alot of money. I could remember backthen when I sang ‘One in amillion’, I sang with all my heart and soul but it did not bring memoney.
