My Mother Lied To Me About My True Father ––Actor Tyler Perry

Tyler Perry is one man who's learned to live a positive life no matter what comes his way and he's succeeding on this path, exceedingly. He almost killed himself while he was growing up due to the way and manner his father used to beat him up like a "slave". But he didn't know that the man was just his mother's husband and not necessarily his real father.

His mother is late now and she never told him the truth before departing the world. But 44years old Tyler took a DNA test with his brother recently and the result shows that they are not brothers and that man who almost killed him with serious beatings is not his true father.

Tyler is heart-broken over the discovery. Below is how he's addressing the issue:

Veteran Actor Olu Jacobs Clears the Air on Seperation From Wife

Veteran Actor Olu Jacobs, who has turned 71 recently, explained in a recent interview how he and his wife, Joke Silva, were able to maintain their marriage for 27 years and receive the tag of “Nollywood’s most celebrated couple”.

Meeting the Future Wife

I was having a meeting at the National Theatre and the door opened a young lady came in. I looked at her. I have never met her before in my life and I said to the people in the room ‘ladies and gentlemen, this is the lady I am going to marry’. Everybody laughed. She looked at me up and down, hissed and left. Today, she is my wife and that was 27 years ago.

The Secret of Long-Lasting Marriage

It is God. There are other forces outside that you need to take cognizance of but when you do, you have to make sure that they don’t take control over your life. You are now thinking for two. No decision you take should be for yourself alone. It’s for two and it must remain for two. You have to always remember that. If my wife goes out, and she finds out that she would not be able to make it back at the time she initially thought she would, she picks up the phone and calls me to tell me. Fine! You are thinking for two, she knows where I am, I know where she is. We still do this till tomorrow. Communicating like that helps a lot, once we are talking, you have an idea of where I am and I have an idea of where you are. I am not saying that it should be every minute calls. Sometimes just being together in a room not necessarily saying anything is also important.

Irony Of A Banned Nigerian Floating School: Awarded in London

 

Residents of Makoko-Iwaya Community have appealed to the Lagos state government to revoke its order and allow the Makoko floating school, a three-storey wooden structure commence academic activities.

This came as the floating school received nomination for the Designs of the Year 2014 award, an award which is overseen by London’s Design Museum.

The state government through the Commissioner for Waterfront and Infrastructure Development, Prince Adesegun Oniru had last year said that the structure is an illegal structure, adding “it shouldn’t be there, and we are trying to get rid of structures there.”

The floating school buoyed by 256 recycled plastic barrels, was constructed by Mr. Kunle Adeyemi, the founder of NLE works, a Netherland based architectural company; was yet to be demolished. The construction of the floating school, an initiative supported by the United Nation Development Programme, UNDP, was expected to kick start the regeneration of the community.

So Sad...Man Falls To His Death Attempting To Catch Marriage Proposal Ring.

Failed Marriage Proposals

During a UCLA basketball game in 2012, one male fan decided to propose to his girlfriend while they were being shown on the Jumbotron. It was a memorable night…for all the wrong reasons. The girlfriend said no, and, in so doing, reminded men everywhere how elaborate marriage proposals can sometimes go very wrong. 

Take for example a brain surgeon from Colorado, who wanted to propose to his girlfriend during a vacation in Naples, Florida in 2012. The guy buried the engagement ring on the beach, thinking his girlfriend would then romantically dig it up. One problem: the girlfriend started digging and couldn’t find the ring. In fact, no one could. After hours of frantic searching, a guy with a metal detector was called in to save the day. 

But a want to be groom in California was not as lucky. He proposed to his girlfriend in front of a Cinnabon in the middle of a shopping mall, because that was where the couple had first met. Despite the sweet sentiment, the girlfriend said no, and her soon to be ex had to share his awkward moment with hundreds of shoppers. 

Sometimes botched proposals aren’t the fault of the girlfriend. In January of 2007, Boise State running back Ian Johnson was being interviewed after scoring the winning points in the Fiesta Bowl. The reporter ended the interview by congratulating Johnson on his engagement to his girlfriend…but he hadn’t proposed yet. So Johnson quickly dropped to one knee and popped the question to his girlfriend, a Boise State cheerleader. Luckily for Ian Johnson and the newscaster, the cheerleader said yes, a result that the UCLA basketball fan will no doubt hope to get next time around.

Dad had plans for the evening but his 3 kids had better plans. Watch Video.

Ryan Hafey just wanted to relax after work when his kids started to get loud.

 

When Ryan Hafey of Henderson, Nev., got home from work Feb. 2, all he wanted to do was relax in front of the TV. But his three children – daughters Aniya, 8, and Kaelyn, 4, and son Bryce, 2 – had their own ideas about the evening’s entertainment.

They started running inside the house. And they kept at it. “They just progressively got louder and louder, eventually to the point where that’s pretty much what it came down to, them just sort of screaming and running around, and I just thought it might be a good opportunity to pull out the camera and show the world what it can be like being a parent of three young children,” Hafey, 28, told ABCNews.com.

Hafey’s expression during the resulting 19-second video — which he titled “What it’s really like to have kids” — is priceless: he basically stands still, staring blankly into the camera while behind him the three children run circles around a dining table, screaming and laughing the entire time. Their high-pitched revelry even brings the dog running to join in. The look on Hafey’s face seems to have struck a chord with viewers.

“The face of a broken man,” wrote a poster, while another added: “The thousand yard stare, (seen) it on so many parents.”

Another poster suggested the children lacked discipline, while yet another urged him participate: “Come on Ryan, just join in with the fun and won’t be so bad. That’s how I keep from murdering myself anyway … Good luck!”

Another had some words of encouragement for Hafey: “Stay strong! It gets easier when they become teenagers.” Hafey — who was alone with the children because his wife, Charlene, was at work–said he understood the mixed reactions.

How to Have a Great Marriage- Interview with Omotola Jolade Ekeinde and Husband.

Award-winning actress and one of TIME 100 most influential persons, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, is a reporter’s delight. An interview with PUNCH  held last Saturday in their Lagos home where they talked about their 18-year-old union. Enjoy reading on HTP Blog.

What was the initial attraction?

Matthew: She was beautiful, fresh and untouched. I decided to start with someone who hadn’t seen the world yet.

Omotola: He was good looking but basically, it was his sense of humour and sense of responsibility. He is God-fearing too and a serious-minded person.

When did you propose to her?

Matthew: We didn’t court. I met her when she was 16 and   I was 26. We got married when she was 18. She clocked 36 recently. We were family friends and I met her through my elder sister. She used to come around the house and when she turned 18, I decided she was ripe. I told her I would marry her and she didn’t believe. I went to tell her late mother, who said I should wait till after four years because Tola had just gained admission to the university then. I told the mother that I couldn’t wait because I didn’t trust the guys in the university.

How did he propose?

Omotola: That was when I turned 18. We had been friends for about two years. He was like a family friend then but I knew he had some plans. He didn’t say anything serious and I was somehow underage. When I turned 18, on my birthday, he jokingly said, ‘babes you don grow o.’ He told me his plan.

Were you scared of getting married then?

Omotola: I wasn’t. I have always been very mature for my age. But otherwise, I had already known him for so long and was very comfortable with him. I just knew that life with him would be comfortable and easy. I didn’t know I would conform to a marriage setting because my mother used to tell me that I was very headstrong. I just thank God that I found someone who could understand me.

How has the journey been for 18 years?

Omotola: Nothing has changed really. It is still the same relaxed, easy-going relationship. There are times when we have misunderstandings but it is never anything serious or unbelievably scary. It has been the grace and fear of God. Everything results in what God thinks about the situations and we pray about it. Everyone is conscious of the fact that we must respect God in the relationship and then your spouse. We don’t just do things. Secondly, we are very grounded and real. We try the best we can to make everything natural. We don’t stress ourselves.
