I didn't leave my first wife, she left me-Zaaki Adzay

Zaaki and 2nd wife
Torch carrying singer, Zaaki Adzay has responded to reports he left his first wife because he fell inlove with his second..In a recent interview with Saturday Beats, Zaaki said he wouldn’t know why his ex walked out of the marriage but he didn’t do anything wrong to her.
“I have been quiet about this matter for a long time. I cannot really say much about it until the outcome of the case is done. But the truth is that she left me, I didn’t leave her. I did everything a man is supposed to do for his wife. Only God will judge. Anybody can say anything in the papers, talk is cheap anyway,” he said.I have remarried and my wife is a full housewife. One of my kids is already with me and she is having a swell time. I know that for sure. As far as I am concerned, I am happy. I just want to be reunited with my other kids. The marriage is dead. The bone of contention is just my kids,” he said.

Brazil’s inadequacies echoed by Neymar’s lack of patience against Colombia

Disappointment would have been bad enough for Brazil, but after the final whistle it became disgrace. Defeat to Colombia, followed by Neymar’s red card, may not resonate like the 7-1 defeat to Germany in the World Cup semi-final last year did, but the shame is just as real. After all the talk of trying to find some sort of redemption in the Copa América, all the same old flaws were there, just without quite the same hysteria.
This was a petulant, complacent, unimaginative Brazil and they now, almost unbelievably, must beat Venezuela in their final group game on Sunday to be sure of making it to the quarter-finals – and they will have to do it without the player on whom they have become so reliant.

Meet the 81 year old who looks half her age because 'she never got married'

 The way marriages are crashing these days...her theory may just be right..Nina Snelling is 81 yet, many mistake her for being in her 50's.She has never had plastic surgery, Botox, fillers or tooth whitening..Her secret? Never getting married..She tells Mailonline
I always arrive at the same answer: my marital status.Despite five marriage proposals and my fair share of boyfriends, I have never said yes or even been tempted to stick with one person for life. Put simply, I am happy being single.

Bypassing the stress of living with a man or being married to the wrong one is what I think has kept me looking young.I see friends racked with worry about what they should or shouldn’t do, always having to ‘check-in’ and ask for permission to do things, but I’ve never had to deal with any of that.

My open letter to Prof. Wole Soyinka on his open letter - Sen. Chris Anyanwu

Sen. Chris Anyanwu, who moved the motion on the recently passed 'Sexual Offences Bill' responds to Wole Soyinka's open letter which was published over the weekend where he blasted a bill passed by the senate legalizing sex with underage girls. See her response below...
I have read your open letter published on a number of on-line papers. No one who read that letter could miss the fury embedded in your words. I know where that fury comes from: moral fiber, good conscience, and love of people. I want to assure you that it was the very same sentiments that drove me to come up with The Sexual Offences Bill and the same sentiments that led Senators and members to pass it.
As always, your aim was to speak as the voice of reason in our increasingly confused society.  I know you meant well. I know you acted out of your deep compassion for Nigerians and fatherly love for the children. But as I read your open letter, my heart sank because this time, my dear Baba, my dear icon, you are wrong.
