5 Great Reasons To Date A Married Man
Ladies, if you’re on the singles scene long enough, you’ll undoubtedly attract the attention of a married man or two. You’ll know him from the nice suit (that his wife bought him for Christmas), the tan lines from the wedding ring that now resides in his breast pocket, and the sob story about the overbearing, under-caring burden he voluntarily shackled himself to umpteen years ago.
And oh, how caring he is—the most understanding man and the best listener you’ve ever met. He sends you flowers, calls to check in with you throughout the day, just because. He places you on a pedestal so high you can touch
Twitter Extract: Akon On Whizkid's Multi-Milion Record Deal With His Konvict Label
Big things happen in small packages.. I'm referring to the talented young artiste, Whizkid. He looks small but he's uber-talented. I remember the first time I saw him on stage performing, it was Dynamix Awards 2010 (I was nominee for 2 awards categories.. wide grin).. I digress, I should tho, this is my blog afterall.. winks. Ok, back to Whizkid, I loved him right from that day, though I knew about him before the awards but seeing this cute bro doing his thang on stage was a sight to behold. I was in the company of friends, ex-Sisi Oge of Lagos, Damilola Otubanjo and another friend, Maureen. Maureen wouldn't stop leaping out of her seat to get a better glympse of Whizkid on stage, it was madt love she was showing and unknowingly to her, I caught the same *bug from her since then. To me, Whizkid can't do anything wrong -- he should watch some of his lyrics

Finally, George Zimmerman Has Been Charged In Trayvon Martin's Case
Neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman turned himself in Wednesday to face a charge of second-degree murder after a Florida special prosecutor announced she had concluded that his claims of self defense were not supported in the shooting death of unarmed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
Special prosecutor Angela Corey's announcement marked a turning point in the high-profile case, as weeks of outrage and speculation about Zimmerman's motives culminated in his arrest -- something that Martin's family and their supporters have argued for since the Feb. 26 shooting in a gated community in Sanford, Fla.
But Zimmerman's new lawyer, Mark O'Mara, said his client will plead not
Radical Political Blogger Omojuwa Begs To Know "Who Will Answer My Questions"
Who stole the peace of Nigeria? Who let evil men take the rein? Who is responsible for our citizens? Who is in charge of our national security? Are we safe in our country?
Like fuel subsidy, is there a cabal that feeds fat on the darkness in Nigeria? Are they also regular donors to the ruling party? Do they also build CSR churches? Can a bribee take a bribe and not do the bidding of the briber? If the payer calls the tune of the piper, when will the piper get to play the tune the people expect to hear? When will the Nigerian government be a government for the people and not for cabals?
Will members of the petrol subsidy cabal ever go to jail? If we all agree they contributed to the President’s campaign chest, will immunity be broken to ensure the President sticks with his friends in jail?
If that is not possible, when will Nigeria create disincentives for corruption? Will people ever stop committing crimes if they know there are no punishments for crimes committed? When will government in Nigeria be of laws and not of men? When will the people ever matter in the affairs of government?

California Muslims Offered Mosque To Christians For Easter.. Great Stuff
SOURCE - Hundreds of worshippers in Sacramento, California., were able to celebrate Easter together this Sunday thanks to a local Muslim organization that let the Christians hold services in their mosque. For the past 12 years, members of the Spiritual Life Center of Sacramento had rented out space at the Pioneer Christian Church, according to the paper. But when their lease expired on March 31, the 500-member church was left with little time to find somewhere else to hold their Easter Sunday service, which is traditionally the best-attended of the year.
Reverend Michael Moran told reporters he had tried desperately to find a temporary meeting space for the Easter celebration after the lease for the rented place he shared with 500 other church

Photos: Christians NAILED To Crosses In Gruesome Re-enactment Of Jesus's Death
Christians were nailed to crosses in the Philippines today in a grim Good Friday reenactment of Jesus's suffering. Thousands of people watched as 17 devoted Catholics were 'crucified' in the gruesome annual ritual.
Church leaders have condemned the practice which they believe are a distortion of the true Easter message. Nine men were crucified in Pampanga province's San Pedro Cutud village today, while at least eight others were crucified in neighbouring villages.
The annual event - which dates back to the 1950s - drew an estimated crowd of 10,000 worshippers. Continue to see more photos
Tyler Perry Buys Oprah And Gayle Matching Bentleys
Oprah was having lunch with bffs Gayle King and Tyler

just like it sent over to Oprah and when Gayle called to thank him, he sent her
one too.
Gayle tells Vanity Fair magazine,
"(Oprah admired the Bentley) so he sent her the same exact car. I called Tyler and told him how amazing that was because nobody ever does anything like that for her, on such a grand scale. And so, the next day when I got home, there was a Bentley in my driveway from Tyler!"
Quote Of The Day: Easter Greetings From Hon. Patrick Obahiagbon :D
Beyond the fugacious razzmatazz of the moment, I seriously call attention to the
rutilanting and coruscating modus vivendi of Master Jesus the Christ and I dare
pontificate that save and until we viscerally emblematize the virtues of
self-immolation, quintessential abnegation, eulogizeable simplicity, Christ-like
humility and immerse ourselves in a platonic emotionalism of agape love and
communalistic service, we would have woefully failed in learning and imbibing
the true meaning of EASTER.
We must elevate this moment from a proscenium of joie de vivre into one of meditative transcendentalism”.
Happy Easter!!!
