The headquarters of the PDP, Wadata House in Wuse Zone 2 Abuja was gutted by fire around 8.15pm last night. A section of the building, which the party uses as its press center, was completely razed.

The National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Olisah Metuh, confirmed the incident and said it was not sabotage, but electrical fault. He said the fire started from an air-conditioning unit in one of the cabins and had been put under control by men of the Federal Fire Service.
“The PDP rules out any form of sabotage or attack and hereby wishes to inform all our members and teeming supporters that the fire has since been put under control,’’ Metuh said in a short statement.

Tania Omotayo may be known for being Wizkid’s boo but she is stamping her feet in the entertainment industry..After graduating from College last year,she returned to Nigeria.She styles Emma Nyra,owns her own boutique & has been spotted at some high profile events with celebs such as Iyanya ,Olamide,Davido….
She was even one of the judges for the next host of MTN’s Yello morning drive show ..

From the look of things, this lady isn’t doing badly without her superstar boo..
She doesn’t have that post-breakup look, as in normal girls slimming down, locking themselves up and all that because of broken heart. I know she has got over it a long time ago..

What marriage has done to me
Marriage has been good. It’s a stablising factor, it helps  one to plan properly. It also redefines your responsibility pattern. When you are a young man, you don’t have the kind of responsibility you should have as a man. For instance, if somebody says  ‘let’s go partying in Ghana,’ you are ready to storm Ghana without anything holding you back.

But when you get married, you will no longer take that kind of  decision on your own. It means that a lot of  things you do  will now have to be shared with your partner. Marriage also helps you not only to reorganise youself in respect of how you want to live your life, but, more  importantly, how you spend the money that you make in your business.

Meeting my wife
I met my wife after I had started my comedy business.

What I don’t like about her
There are a lot of things I don’t like about her just as there are lots of things I like about her. Sometimes, she pushes me too hard. She’s like telling me ‘you can do it, give it a trial’. Sometimes, I resist the pressure she mounts on me. But later, I discovered that after I have done it, it actually works out well. She sometimes feels  I am not where I am supposed to be yet. And the pressure is not about her, rather  it’s about where she feels you are supposed to be, and you are not. That’s positive. But there are some people who can’t take that.

Break up of celebrity marriages
I don’t have issues with that. To  me, your happiness in marriage is key to every thing. That is not to say, for every flimsy excuse  that you have, you walk out of your marriage. But if the person you finally got married to, turns out to be somebody totally different  from somebody who you thought he was, or totally different from who you expected the person to be, you are in such a situation where the person is key to your happiness, you prefer to be away from  home in order to find happiness than to come back home and break down.

Some members of Jehovah's Witness have come out to condemn their church's stance against them marrying outside their faith. According to Jehovah's Witness' doctrine, members of the church are to only marry themselves and not from any other Christian faith. If they do, it's seen as an act of immorality. And people who marry outside the church are usually expelled from the church and treated as non-members.

The members say this has kept them unmarried for years and in some cases, get married to members who they are not attracted to. Continue...

Confirming the church's position to PM News, an elder in the church, Elder James Etop, says the church's position is in accordance with biblical instructions. He said that if members are allowed to marry anyhow their faith would be affected. He said the teachings from other churches are different from the ones they have and so they try to protect their members from being affected. He took the case of heaven and earth teaching as an example. "For instance, there is nothing like hell fire as propagated in many churches. Hell fire was mentioned just as an illustration by Jesus Christ when He was saying the parable of Lazarus and the rich man in the Bible. If a member marries such a person who believes in such doctrines which is against the teaching of the Witness, it will definitely affect his or her faith.” he said.

According to Etop, members are not literally compelled to marry one another but if they marry outside of the church, the church would not honor such a union or an invitation to the wedding ceremony.
