Mujahid Abubakr Asari Dokubo has given his opinion concerning theUnderageMarriage Bill
recently approved.
He
took to facebook page to express his opinion on the issues.
“People should learn to
respect other people’s sensibilities. We Muslims have the right to marry when
we want or give out our daughters at any age we want. It is not yourbusinessand the law must respect our
right to do so.

marry ladies of that age or give your daughters out in marriage at that age.
Plzzzzzzzz respect our sensibilities.”

officials, and Carnival Queen Zimbabwe, Dananai Chipunza were also amongst

stamped. Her son Nathan brought tears as he rushed to greet his mother clad in
his soccer attire.

1. While you
sleep, the body perspires for a while and then cools down as it recuperates
from the whole day stress and one principle of sleeping un-clad is to allow
blood to circulate smoothly. Clothes restrict blood circulation, hence shedding
that artificial skin is good for stimulating the same.
2. The tight elastic bands of your pyjamas or short should be
loosened for a sound comfortable sleep.
3. Medical research have shown that sleeping un-clad is good for
those suffering from insomnia as it has a comforting effect on them.

estranged husband's name, Oloyede, from all her social media accounts.
She's also spoken for the first time about the
end of her marriage. She told Stella Dimoko Korkus:
First of all let me clarify that I have not replied any SMS or
spoken to anyone on this development before now and neither have I threatened
to sue anyone. I do not know who sent out that SMS denying that my marriage is
over. That was what necessitated me sending out a press release so as not to
confuse the public, especially my fans whom I'm so passionate about.
Yes my marriage has
crashed. Let the people who are laughing at me continue laughing. My job
afterall is to make people laugh. Let those who are without sins or mistake
cast the first stone. Let them continue judging me. God is the overall judge.
He is the one I look up to.

asked about Nando's claims that she gave him an STD, Selly said:
"Actually,
my mum has threatened to take Nando on legally, which we have communicated to
the BBA producers.Nando
and I did not made loveual intercourse; we made out, yes! And that was as far
as it went.I am
only hearing all these things outside of the house because I didn’t know about
it while I was in the house so I didn’t get a chance to defend myself.
So for
the STI allegations that he is making, I am just waiting for Nando to come out
so I can ask him how he got the STI.I have
been tested and I don’t have any background of STI or STD so I don’t know how
Nando contracted the disease that he claims he has.”

There are
many situations in life which cause people to become depressed and this can
make happiness difficult to obtain. Finding happiness and making it a vibrant
part of your life is a personal quest. Your journey or quest to find happiness
is a unique one, because not all people have the same needs, desires and wants.
Nothing is realized without effort and this includes happiness. Everyone
deserves to have happiness in their lives, including you! So, here are 7 tips
about how to make your life happier, which can help you on your journey to
create a more fulfilling life for you and your family:
·· Be honest with yourself.
- What makes you happy? Expecting to stumble upon happiness is like playing the
lottery, the odds aren't very encouraging. The things that make you happy are
most likely different from the things that make other people happy. If you try
to mimic another person's 'happy' life-style exactly, don't become discouraged
if you don't realize the same results. You must be honest with yourself and discover
what really makes you happy.
