Khloe Kardashian will always be my wife - Lamar Odom!

Looks like any break up between Lamar and Khloe is not goint to be that easy, going by interview Lamar granted with US Weekly after a Feb. 21 press conference for his new team Baskonia (aka Laboral kutxa), where the basketball player said (Khloe) Kardashian would "always" be his wife, even if they divorce -- which he's hoping doesn't happen.



"I love my wife. She'll always be my wife, no matter what," 
"Who knows? We don't know exactly if [the divorce is going through]. Only time will tell. I hope not. But even if we were divorced, she would always be my wife." 

The athlete went on to say that marrying the reality star was one of the greatest things he'd ever done. "Those were some of the best years of my life," he shared. "Being married and being married to a woman I decided to marry was, besides having children, the most important thing in my life."

Admitting his mistakes odom says: "We all have regrets, but the thing is to learn from life. There's no one in this room, no one in this world who can say, 'I'm mistake-free, I have made no mistakes,'" 
"If you can introduce me to that person, please introduce me to that person. Let me meet him and speak to him."

"I won a sixth Man of the Year award while I shot [our reality] show -- people forget that,"

"I think it's easy for people to say, 'Because you do this, you must be this kind of person, vain or uptight or meant to people.' People have a sense of who you may be because of the job you do. That's unfair judgement," he continued.

Explaining further, he said: "I think we prejudge a little bit too much these days because there's so much access to everything about the world. It's easy for us to look at a YouTube video or a program that doesn't turn off and say, 'This guy must be this way,'"  "I understand how powerful TV is, but there's nothing I would do different."

Odom appears to be focused on getting back to his passion for basketball, explained of his contract with Laboral Kutxa,  where he got the #7 jersey.  "This is the love of the game for Lamar,"  "I've got a winner mentality, the mentality of a champion."

"I feel good and every day I'm getting closer to closer to being on the court, but it's a work in progress," 

 "I've been away from the game for a little bit, but it's going to take some time and I have to be patient. When me and coach Sergio and the organization get together and think it's the right time [to be on the court], that will be the right time." he added during the press conference at the Fernando Buesa Arena in Vitoria.

AKOLADE AROWOLO sentenced to death for wife's murder!

Information reaching our news desk revealed that an Ikeja High Court, sitting in Lagos State today sentenced Mr Akolade Arowolo to  death by hanging for killing his banker wife, Titilayo Arowolo on June 24, 2011.

The presiding judge, Justice Lateefa Okunnu while delivering her judgment on Friday, held that even though there was no eyewitness to the incident, the circumstantial evidence adduced by the prosecution had proved the murder charge against the convict beyond all reasonable doubt.

Mr Arowolo had denied the allegation, insisting that the deceased wife mistakenly killed herself with the knife she wanted to stab him with when they were having a quarrel.

Justice Okunnu relied on the testimony of the forensic pathologist, Professor John Obafunwa, who testified that there were at least 76 stab wounds found on the deceased.

Contrary to the convict’s claim during trial, Professor Obafunwa had testified that the injuries must have been caused by sharp weapon applied on the deceased and could not have been self-inflicted.

The prosecution led by the Lagos State Director of Public Prosecutions, Mrs Olabisi Ogungbesan, reportedly called 15 witnesses among whom were police officers and the father, sisters and step-mother of the deceased.

Daily walking in Obedience and faith to God's calling!

God said to Abram, get thee out of thy country and from thy kindred and from thy father's house (traditional way of life, thinking, believes, your familiar zone) unto a land that I will show you ( a totally strange and new way of life, into the un-familiar).



Relating God's directives to Abram to our individual lives, when God calls us through the gift of salvation, He sometimes will not tell us exactly where (our respective destinies in His Kingdom  business here on earth) He is taking us to from the unset. 

We don't always have an incline of what works HE has purposed to do here on earth through our lives. This can be most frustrating especially when we don't know the exact destination we are headed or what the entire journey entails. On the other hand, this journey requires that we be most attentive and in tune with God so as to know when HE says "tarry here, or it's time to pack up and continue or THIS IS THE PLACE, YOUR DESTINY".

Now, taking this journey does not mean we won't encounter challenges like: supposed delays at various stages of life, hostility, afflictions, betrayals and denials from loved ones, state of disparity and fear, the demons we fight in our lives as a result of  all the baggage we carried along from our father's house like Abram in Gen.: 12 vs 5, and may wonder if God is really in this with us,  but it is an act of faith and obedience which also carries promises of blessings along..."And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shall be a blessing".

We have to act in faith like Abram, get up and move in the direction He leads us through the holy spirit day by day, knowing that like He promised and delivered to Abraham, the destiny He has for us can only be flowing with milk and honey. "For I know my thoughts towards you says the Lord, thoughts of good and not of evil, and to bring you to an expected end".

All we have to do is just wake up daily, hand the wheel over to HIM and He will take care of the rest. The journey itself is a process that prepares us for our destiny in Christ. 

Remain Blessed.

Is GoodLuck Jonathan Still In Tune With His Famous Speech On The Declaration Of His Presidential Ambition In 2010?!

As I Observe with keen interest as a Nigerian, the happenings unavailing in the Nigeria political arena, I wonder if the President is still in connection to the zeal that possessed him when he first got into power. 

With so many feasible promises and some steps in the right direction towards attaining these promises, howbeit interesting events recently brought to fore, leaves  me wondering if I can still believe in this man who won my heart and the hearts of so many Nigerians in 2010 with his famous and humble  speech....a speech that raised my hope to believe that sooner than expected Nigerians at home and in diaspora will be very proud once again to say that WE ARE NIGERIANS. 

I searched for and printed the speech for us (and peharps any member of the GEJ administration) to review and know at what point We (yes We because it is supposed to be a joint effort) deviated, and retrace these steps in accordance to the wonderful promises made to Nigerians before God and man on Eagles' Square - Abuja.

The speech below:
  

SPEECH BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA, DR. GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN, GCFR, ON THE OCCASION OF THE DECLARATION OF HIS CANDIDACY FOR THE PDP PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES, TODAY 18TH SEPTEMBER, 2010.

PROTOCOL

"Forty months ago my predecessor in office and I embarked on a joint ticket in the governance of our great country, Nigeria.  Sadly, he passed away on the 5th of May 2010.

MAY HIS GENTLE SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE, AMEN.

With the death of President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua, the mantle of leadership of our great nation fell on me.  However, the days leading to my presidency were very trying times for our nation. We confronted those moments and their challenges to national security with patriotism and care.  I appreciate the role played by the National Assembly, Governors, Civil Society groups,  the mass media,  and other patriotic Nigerians. 

The late President Yar'Adua and I shared great dreams for our country.  We toiled together to realize those dreams in order to justify the confidence Nigerians reposed in us.  Together we swore to execute a joint mandate and today I come before you to make a pronouncement based on that undertaking.

 The past four months that I have served as President of Nigeria have opened my eyes to the vast potentials of this office as a potent instrument for the transformation of our country.  I discovered that by sheer willpower,  I could end the long queues and price fluctuations in our petrol stations.  Today, all our refineries are working,  saving us huge amounts of funds spent on importation of petroleum products. 

I discovered that by insisting that the right things be done,  we could begin a turnaround in our power sector by involving the private sector in power generation and distribution.  As you can see from the lower quantities of diesel that you are buying today,  power generation has significantly improved.

I have put in place new gas policies and very soon,  we will be saying goodbye to gas flaring in our oil fields.  Working with the National Assembly,  we rolled out a law that requires companies operating in the oil and gas sectors of our economy to utilize an appreciable percentage of their goods and services from local sources.  We saw to it that normalcy began to return to the Niger Delta by ensuring government's fidelity to its promises,  and this has helped to stabilize our national revenue. 

In the last few months,  I embarked on monumental projects in our road infrastructure to end the carnage on our federal highways.  I began several projects to make our water resources available for drinking and farming.  I targeted our educational system to return quality and competitiveness to them. I re-addressed our drive for self sufficiency in food production. I have taken bold steps to confront our security situation. In this regard,  we are pursuing the revision of our laws to be more responsive to international conventions and more punitive to criminals. 

I set the stage for free and fair elections by constituting an electoral commission comprising of Nigerians with impeccable credentials for firmness and incorruptibility.  I charged our anti corruption agencies to speed up the war against corruption,  and respect no sacred cows in the process.  In the management of the economy,  I advocated a more transparent banking industry, price stability,  low inflation,  and aggregate increase in productivity as a way to drive us to a more prosperous economy.  In International Relations,  I advanced the respectability accorded our country by effective engagement in global fora.

From the moment I was sworn in as President,  I came under intense pressure to make a declaration concerning my political future,  but declined to do so because it would have immediately distracted us from all the development initiatives we have accomplished so far. 

As President and leader of this government,  I decided not to place partisan politics above the immediate needs and priorities of our people.  I therefore told Nigerians to give me time to concentrate on my work, and that at the appropriate time,  I would make a public statement on my political future after widespread consultations. 

Those consultations have now been concluded. The Independent National Electoral Commission  has recently announced a time table for the 2011 general elections in the country.  My party, the Peoples Democratic Party,  has also published a timetable for its primaries. 

In the circumstances and after a thorough self examination and prayers with my family,  I,  Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan have decided to humbly offer myself as a candidate in the Presidential Primaries of our great party,  the Peoples Democratic Party,  in order to stand for the 2011 Presidential elections.   I pledge once again to all the people of this nation that they will have a free and fair election, even as I stand to be a candidate. In this race,  I have the honour to have as my running mate,  Architect Namadi Sambo, the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Our country is at the threshold of a new era;  an era that beckons for a new kind of leadership;  a leadership that is uncontaminated by the prejudices of the past;  a leadership committed to change;  a leadership that reinvents government,  to solve the everyday problems that confront the average Nigerian.

I was not born rich,  and in my youth,  I never imagined that I would be where I am today,  but not once did I ever give up.  Not once did I imagine that a child from Otuoke,  a small village in the Niger Delta, will one day rise to the position of President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I was raised by my mother and father with just enough money to meet our daily needs. 

In my early days in school,  I had no shoes,  no school bags.  I carried my books in my hands but never despaired;  no car to take me to school but I never despaired.  There were days I had only one meal but I never despaired.  I walked miles and crossed rivers to school every day but I never despaired.  Didn't have power,  didn't have generators,  studied with lanterns but I never despaired. 

In spite of these,  I finished secondary school,  attended the University of Port Harcourt,  and now hold a doctorate degree.

Fellow Nigerians,  if I could make it,  you too can make it!

My story is the story of a young Nigerian whose access to education opened up vast opportunities that enabled me to attain my present position.  As I travel up and down our country,  I see a nation blessed by God with rich agricultural and mineral resources and an enterprising people.  I see millions of Nigerians whose potentials for greatness are constrained by the lack of basic infrastructure. 

I see Nigerians who can make a difference in the service of their country but are disadvantaged by the lack of opportunities.

My story symbolizes my dream for Nigeria. The dream that any Nigerian child from Kaura- Namoda to Duke town; from Potiskum to Nsukka, from Isale-Eko to Gboko will be able to realize his God-given potentials,  unhindered by tribe or religion and unrestricted by improvised political inhibitions. My story holds out the promise of a new Nigeria.  A Nigeria built on the virtues of love and respect for one another,  on unity,  on industry,  on hardwork and on good governance.

My fellow Nigerians, this is what has brought me to Eagle Square today.  I have come to say to all of you,  that Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan is the man you need to put Nigeria right.  I have come to launch a campaign of ideas, not one of calumny.  I have come to preach love, not hate. I have come to break you away from divisive tendencies of the past which have slowed our drive to true nationhood. I have no enemies to fight.  You are all my friends and we share a common destiny.

Let the word go out from this Eagle Square that Jonathan as President in 2011 will herald a new era of transformation of our country;  an era that will end the agony of power shortage in our country. Let the word go out from here that I will be for the students, teachers and parents of Nigeria,  a President who will advance quality and competitive education. Let everyone in this country hear that I shall strive to the best of my ability to attain self sufficiency in food production.

Let the word go out that my plans for a Sovereign Wealth Fund with an initial capital of $1billion will begin the journey for an economic restoration. This restoration will provide new job opportunities and alleviate poverty. Let the word go out that our health sector will receive maximum priority in a new Jonathan administration, a priority that will ensure maximum health care and stop our brain drain.

Let all the kidnappers,  criminal elements,  and miscreants that give us a bad name be ready for the fight that I shall give them. Let the ordinary Nigerian be assured that President Jonathan will have zero tolerance for corruption. Let the international community hear that today I have offered myself to lead a country that will engage them in mutual respect and cooperation for the achievement of international peace and understanding.

To help me in these tasks effectively,  I will re-train,  revamp,  and motivate the civil service.

My dear good people of Nigeria,  I got here today by the power of God and the support of all Nigerians;  all ethnic groups, North,  South,  East and West.   I am here today because of your support and prayers.  I want all of you to know that I am one of you and I will never let you down! I want you to know that I will keep hope alive;  I want you to know that your time has come.

I stand before you today,  humbly seeking your support for me,  Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan,  to run for the office of the President of Nigeria with Architect Namadi Sambo as my running mate.

We will fight for JUSTICE!

We will fight for all Nigerians to have access to POWER!

We will fight for qualitative and competitive EDUCATION!

We will fight for HEALTH CARE REFORMS!

We will fight to create jobs, for all Nigerians!

We will fight corruption!

We will fight to protect all Citizens!

We will fight for your rights!

My dear country men and women, give me your support, give me your votes and together we will fight to build a great nation of our dreams!

I cannot end this speech without thanking you all for attending this occasion.  Your huge attendance is a loud testimony of your support for us. For this I am very grateful. I pray that the Almighty God abides with you and sees you safely back to your respective destinations.

When you return, tell all those at home that as we celebrate our fifty years anniversary as a nation, Goodluck has come to transform Nigeria and I will never let you down.

Thank You.

May God Bless you all!

And may God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria!!

GOODLUCK EBELE AZIKIWE JONATHAN, GCFR".

NIGERIA IS WORLD’S MOST SEXUALLY SATISFIED NATION!

Nigeria has been rated the most sexually satisfied nation in the world with 67 percent of its population claiming sexual gratification according to a global online survey carried out by condom manufacturer Durex.  Durex Global Research arrived at its findings after interviewing more than 26,000 respondents across 26 countries about every aspect of their sex lives so as to do a comprehensive chart of what constitutes intimate well-being. The survey puts Nigeria in top position at 67 per cent, followed by Mexico at 63 per cent, India (61 Per cent) and Poland (54 per cent).

The least sexually satisfied people in the world, according to the survey, are the Japanese, with 15 per cent of respondents from that country giving their sex lives a thumbs-up.

“On average, South Africans have sex 120 times a year — considerably more than the global average of 103,” the statement read. “It is the sexed-up Greeks who have the most sex, at 164 times a year; with Brazil next (145), followed by Poland and Russia (both 143). The Japanese are the least sexually active nation, being intimate just 48 times a year. ”The survey also measured average time of sexual intercourse among respondents. “The Nigerians take the longest time over sex, at 24 minutes per session, while Indians have the quickest sex, at 13 minutes,” it stated. 

Durex had also carried out a survey last year which revealed that Nigerian women are the most unfaithful.   

According to Durex Global Research, the variables used to measure sexual satisfaction include mutual love and respect between partners; freedom from stress; ability to orgasm; freedom from sexual dysfunction; good mental and physical health; frequency of sex and foreplay; an exciting sex life. A 2014 study revealed that socio-economic status also impacted levels of sexual satisfaction

Did you notice that the countries that tops this list happens to be mostly the so called third world countries, little wonder these countries are among the world most populated nations.
