OSHIOMHOLE MOURNS LATE WIFE AS HE LEAVES OFFICE TODAY

                                                                       

Outgoing Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State, who is leaving office today, Saturday November 12, 2016, is definitely sad that he lost his wife, Clara while in office.

 

At the last Executive Meeting he had last Wednesday in Benin with his commissioners and other staff, Oshiomhole, who battled tears, recalled how he lost his beloved wife, Clara, who was right by his side when he took the oath of office as governor of Edo State in 2007.

He couldn’t help his emotions when he recalled that “My late wife wore khakhi with me, standing right beside me when I took the oath of office. Her death was very devastating to me because we were in the struggle together before I became governor and I felt now that God made me governor, she was going to enjoy the fruit of her labour. So, it was shocking for me to lose her at that stage. I started with her and it would have been wonderful to finish with her.”

Meanwhile, the governor said in an interview that he married the late Clara when he was 22 years old.

 

“He recalled, ““My father wanted me to marry early because he did not start early and wanted grandchildren. We were eight kids and I was the first. Whatever he said was law and I had to obey him. So, I got married and had two children before going back to school.”

 

Don’t ask how old his wife was at that time but he recalled that: “I met her in the course of my union struggle. Then, she was a secretary and I approached her to help me type some union petitions. She was afraid that I was taking too many risks; something led to attraction and we got married.”

The 64-year-old father of five, who remarried in 2015 to Iara, the outgoing First Lady, after the death of his first wife in December 2010, reminisced on his life as an activist:

 

He said, “Before I became NLC president, I had already stopped making babies. Even when I was travelling around, I was lucky to have a wife who was caring and able to fill the gap. My wife bore the burdens of peace because I’m a little impatient and I travel often. When you are exposed to tension, there is tendency for transferred aggression but you need a woman to understand you when in that kind of mood. When people say I was never around, I reply that I have five children and they were not produced in absentia. You would always find time to be with the family.”

REASONS BEHIND SOUTH EAST SENATORS VISIT TO PRESIDENT BUHARI

South-East senators who visited President Muhammadu Buhari during the week gave a list of demands as conditions for the approval of the $29.9bn loan request, Vanguard reports.
It was gathered that the senators demanded the release of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu and the construction of a rail Standard Gauge Spur from Agbor to Onitsha.

They also reportedly requested a place in the National Security Council, the inclusion of South East when concessioning federal roads and airports and construction of extra River Basin Development Authority for the zone.


The lawmakers also demanded the reconstruction of the dilapidating Enugu airport.
Ekweremadu, who spoke to State House Correspondents at the end of the meeting, said “For us from the South East, we believe that dialogue is better than any other form of engagement. So we decided to visit the President and present to him some of the concerns of the South East including the issues of roads and infrastructure.

“We also discussed the issue of security with him and of course the issue of IPOB. We had a good conversation and he promised to look into the issues. This is the South East caucus in the Senate and we came to see the President because of the issues we have in the South East.

“We had a fruitful discussion with the President. He has promised us that he is going to look into the problems of South East. We know that there are problems everywhere but we also believe that the South East is the zone that is far much short-changed at this time than other zones.

“We also talked about the issue of appointments from the South East, especially with respect to the National Security Council. The President also told us that governors of the South East have also engaged him on the same problems. We were reassured by the response we got from the President and we look forward to further interaction with him in this manner.”

I DON'T GET ROLES IN ENGLISH MOVIES...MAYBE THEY FEEL THAT MY SPOKEN ENGLISH IS NOT UP TO STANDARD - ADEBAYO SALAMI

                                                                         

Veteran Nollywood actor, Adebayo Salami, popularly known as Oga Bello, says he finds it difficult to explain why he doesn’t get roles in English-speaking movies.
Salami made this statement in a recent interview with The Punch Newspaper.

Salami, noted that there’s a possibility that the English film producers have the impression that his command of English is not good enough.

He explained that he would never lobby for a movie role but rather promote his culture by devoting his full attention to Yoruba movies.

“They do not invite me to feature in English movies and I cannot lobby for it. Maybe they feel that my spoken English is not up to standard; I do not know honestly,” Salami said.

“The fact is that I would give Yoruba movie more priority than English movies, because I like to promote my culture. My culture is who I am and where I belong to.

“Anytime I get invitations, I am ready because for me, acting is acting; the only difference is the medium of expression.

“If they invite me, I would surprise them. I have done more than eight English movies in the past”. he said.
Oga Bello said he is happy that his children are following his step in the movie industry, saying that he’s fulfilled to have such uncommon grace.

MELANIA TRUMP: UPGRADED FROM NUDE MODEL TO AMERICA'S FIRST LADY

 Donald Trump of the Republican Party surprised the world when he defeated Hillary Clinton of the Democratic Party to win the United States presidential election.

He will be formally sworn in as the 45th President of the US on January 20, 2017.

On the same day, his wife, Melania Trump, will assume the role of the First Lady of the US, becoming the first foreign-born woman to hold the position since Louisa Adams, the British-born wife of John Quincy Adams who served from 1825 to 1829.

The Office of the First Lady of the US is an entity of the White House Office, part of the Executive Office of the President.

 

The First Lady has her own staff that includes the Chief of Staff, White House Social Secretary, Press Secretary, White House Chief Floral Designer and White House Executive Chef.

Meanwhile, First Lady-designate Melania is in a way different from previous first ladies who had held the position: She is the only first lady to have posed nude.

 

Born on April 26, 1970 in Slovenia (formerly Yugoslavia), Melania is 46 — meaning that there is a 24-year age gap to her 70-year-old husband — she was raised by her Communist party member father, Viktor Knavs, who managed car dealerships for a state-owned vehicle manufacturer, and her mother, Amalija Ulnik, a pattern maker at a textile factory.

The First Lady-designate’s original name was Melanija Knavs, but she found fame as a model under the name, Melania Knauss.

 

After attending the Secondary School of Design and Photography in Ljubljana, the Slovenian capital, Melania enrolled in the University of Ljubljana, but dropped out a year later to pursue a career in modelling at the age of 16.

 

When she was 17, renowned fashion photographer, Stane Jerko, spotted her in Ljubljana as he left a fashion show and invited her for a trial photoshoot.

Her shoot with Jerko catapulted her into the spotlight, leading to a contract with an Italian modelling agency in Milan, Italy.

 

Since then, Melania has worked across Europe and has graced the world’s catwalks and magazines.

In 1995, Melania posed nude alongside for a French men’s monthly magazine. The “bombshell” photo set, obtained by the New York Post, shows her lying naked in a bed alongside Scandinavian model, Emma Eriksson.

Photographer Jarl Ale de Basseville, who took the pictures, said the images were “beauty and not porn,” adding, “I always loved women together because I have been with a lot of women who desired the menage a trois.”

 

An unnamed insider said Melania behaved “like a true professional” during the shoot and was “charming throughout.”

As a model, she has also appeared naked on the covers of British GQ magazine, Harper’s Bazaar, Ocean Drive, In Style Weddings, New York Magazine, Avenue, Allure, Vanity Fair and Vogue.

She once told GQ, “My mum was in the fashion business. I was five years old when I did my first catwalk and did commercials at 16. I went professional after my studies. My mum loved fashion. We loved to travel and go to Italy and Paris.”

 

Melania reportedly arrived in the US on an H-1B visa which, through a quirk in immigration law, admits models as highly skilled workers alongside scientists and computer programmers.

Trump is a fierce critic of the scheme and has vowed to rail against the “rampant, widespread H-1B abuse.”

 

She got her green card in 2001, though, making her a US citizen.

Melania met her future husband Donald at a Fashion Week party in New York City in September 1998, while he was still married to, but separated from, Marla Maples.

Trump was there with Norwegian cosmetics heiress Celina Midelfart but made a beeline for Melania and asked for her number. But, because he had a date, she refused to give it to him — and instead asked the billionaire for his.

 

She said later, “If I give him my number, I’m just one of the women he calls. I wanted to see what his intention was. It tells you a lot from the man what kind of number he gives you. He gave me all of his numbers.”

 

A week later, Melania called him and they began seeing each other, only to break up for a few months when Trump toyed with the idea of running for the US President in 2000 as a member of the Reform Party.

 

In 2000, Melania also gave a rare joint -interview with Donald to TV personalty, Howard Stern, telling the shocked jock, “We have incredible sex at least once a day.” Trump then boasted about how hot Melania looked in “a very small thong.”

 

Married twice before, Trump proposed at the glitzy Costume Institute Gala in New York and they married in January 2005 at The Episcopal Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea in Palm Beach, Florida.

The reception was even attended by Hillary Clinton and her former President husband, Bill.

Melania gave birth to the couple’s only child, Barron William Trump, in 2006.

 

Melania, who speaks six languages fluently — Serbian/Croatian, English, French, Italian, German, and her native Slovenian — had in a campaign speech just five days before the election, outlined her vision for what her role would be in the White House if she were to become First Lady, saying she would work to combat a culture on social media that has become “too mean and too tough” and which is filled with insults based on “looks and intelligence.”

 

When asked by The New York Times in 1999 what her role would be if Donald Trump were to become president, she replied, “I would be very traditional. Like Betty Ford or Jackie Kennedy. I would support him.”
