Are we safe? I keep wondering how these young boys live to see the next day on the streets of London… RIP Derek Boateng !
Our hearts go out to his family and loved ones…
And I know that bus (393) so well…Hmmmmm!
MailOnline Reports;

A murder hunt has been launched after a 16-year-old boy who was stabbed on a bus died in hospital.
Derek Boateng was knifed seconds after boarding a 393 bus on Highbury New Park, north London, at around 3pm on Monday.
Police say the boy, who has three older sisters, was attacked following a row with another teenager. It was the fifth stabbing of a teenager in London in the past four days.
The London Air Ambulance landed on Highbury Grove School’s Astro Turf pitch and airlifted the teenager to hospital in east London where he died yesterday.
Today, his devastated sisters paid tribute to the little brother they described as ‘always laughing’ and revealed his birthday presents are still lying unopened at the family home in nearby Hackney.
Derek’s oldest sister Gifty, 29, said he was ‘best brother in the world.
She told the Evening Standard: ‘I could not have had a better brother.’
Earlier, she told how Derek was doing his GCSEs and wanted to be an engineer.
He said: ‘He just fixes stuff, like things you can’t figure out he comes to do.
‘He paints and plays the drums – he was very artistic. He had a lot of friends and knew a lot of people around the area and had friends from primary school still. We are completely devastated and still in shock.’
Another of his siblings, Linda, 25, said: ‘All we know is that he was on a bus by himself. He normally gets the train.
‘From what we know, he was going to meet his friend at Highbury Grove when it happened.
‘He was always laughing, everything was a joke. You can’t even tell him off because he just started laughing at you.
‘He was stabbed on his birthday on the 23rd and died the day after. He was coming home to his presents, he hadn’t even opened them yet.’
She added: ‘You hear about this sort of thing all the time and never think this is going to come to you.
‘Knives are for the kitchen. Put the knives away, just concentrate on your education. They have left the family very devastated.
‘I don’t think they understand what they are doing. The guy who did it is probably really scared because they don’t understand what they have done.
‘It’s ridiculous. Killing someone and going back to your group doesn’t make you cool.’
More than 2,000 people have paid tribute on Facebook to a murdered teenager who died the day after being stabbed on his sixteenth birthday.
Derek Boateng, who wanted to be an engineer, was fatally stabbed on a 393 bus on Tuesday afternoon. He died in hospital last night.

Primark Factory Collapses In Bangladesh, Killing Over 160 Pple

cynthiaokpala.blogspot.com

The UK Sun Reports;

AT least 160 people were killed yesterday after a factory that makes clothes for Primark collapsed.
More than a thousand were hurt when the eight-storey building crumbled to the ground in Bangladesh.
Its feared the death toll will rise because 2,000 people were inside the Ranza Plaza building on the outskirts of the capital Dhaka at the time.
Children could be among them because the firm runs creches for women workers on three of the floors.
Some of the garments made at the factory are sold in budget clothes favourite Primark’s stores across the UK.
The factory also supplied Matalan up until February.

Firemen and soldiers were last night scouring the rubble for survivors.
Rescuers could hear cries for help from workers trapped still inside.
A day of mourning has been declared today by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
Building collapses are common in Bangladesh because many are built flouting regulations.
Cracks were first spotted on Tuesday and cops ordered for it to be evacuated.
But employees turned up work on Wednesday before being engulfed by tumbling masonry.
Survivor Shaheena Akhter, 23, said: “Some of us did not want to work fearing something might happen.
“But the garment factory people told us that we had to join our work otherwise we will lose our jobs.”
A Primark spokesman said: “The company is shocked and deeply saddened by this appalling incident at Savar, near Dhaka, and expresses its condolences to all of those involved.
“Primark confirms that one of its suppliers occupied the second floor of the eight storey building, which housed several suppliers to the garment industry making clothing for a number of brands.”
He added: “Primark has been engaged for several years with NGOs and other retailers to review the Bangladeshi industry’s approach to factory standards. Primark will push for this review to also include building integrity.
“Meanwhile Primark’s ethical trade team is at this moment working to collect information, assess which communities the workers come from, and to provide support where possible.”
A spokesman for Matalan said one of the companies based their supply to them.
He said: “We can confirm that New Wave has been a supplier to Matalan although we don’t have any current production with them.
“We are deeply saddened by the news and we have been trying to get in touch with our contacts since we heard to check if we are able to assist.”
A blaze at a garment factory in another Dhaka suburb killed some 110 people last November – and sparked a massive public outcry over lax safety standards.
It led many Western clothing firms whose garments are made in Bangladesh to urge local factory owners to improve working conditions.
At least 25 people lost their lives in 2010 when a four-storey building in the city fell down, with many more left injured.

You Are Broke Because You Are Making MONEY For Others

cynthiaokpala.blogspot.com

Have you ever considered how the few rich people you know became what they are today? What you have to know is this; they did not make all the money themselves. In fact, they did not even make the great proportion of the money themselves, people like you and I made the money for them.
We live in a money driven world and as such, every activity under the sun carried by another human being generates income for someone.
This sounds great if you are at the receiving end. And it sucks if you are the one buried in those activities that continue to make cash for others…
Majority of us are broke, because we continue to make money for others whiles no one makes any money for us. You cannot run away from making money for others in this world…NEVER! What you can do is to neutralize things by making others to also make money for you.
Do you that Facebook has an estimated worth of over 100 billion dollars and in 2011, made $550 million in payment revenue alone?
Where do you think Facebook is making all this money from? The users of facebook including you and I are the ones making Facebook this money. If we all deactivate our accounts today and stop visiting, Facebook will make zero and it will be worth zero.
So the more time you spend on Facebook, the more money you make for Mark Zuckerberg and his cronies.
I am not trying to tell you to stop visiting Facebook…How dare I? I am just pointing out to you how we continue to make millions for others with our daily activities.
Have you ever considered making others make money for you too? If you have not considered that, then you have to do that today because that is the only way you can jump from being broke to being RICH…
The owner of the company you work for is rich because you and the other workers continue to make him money. He then gives you a tiny fraction of the money to say; thank you for all the bucks you have made for me. That sucks but that is the fact!
Once again, you cannot run away from making money for others. What you can rightly do is to make sure that whiles you are making money for someone; others should also make some cash for you.
Do you know that the moment you turn on your TV to watch-entertain yourself, you begin to make money for the cable or broadcasting company?
Even as you read this, you are making me some money. It may suck but it is true. By simply reading this article, you have made me some few coins and if a lot of people read it, it piles up to become a lot.
This is one of the many ways I have decided to balance things so that I do only make money for others, which will make me forever, broke. But I can also get people like you to make me some CASH…

Health And Lifestye

cynthiaokpala.blogspot.com

Life is full of choices and every choice has a corresponding consequence. This applies also to our health. Our health today was determined by the choices or decisions we made yesterday and consequently our health tomorrow would be as a result of the choices we make today.
Daily choices as regard certain widely recognized factors that are essential to a longer, healthier life would result in the health we do or do not enjoy.
This fact is clearly illustrated in the scenario below;
A 17-year old young man went to his ophthalmologist with what he considered a serious health problem. He said, “every time I smoked marijuana, my eyes got red. I’m really worried. What can you prescribe for my condition?” His doctor told him to stop smoking marijuana but he answered ‘Anything but that’, then turned and walked away.
This young man’s behaviour epitomizes the conscious and unconscious attitude of millions of people towards their health: they want to have clear lungs and fresh breathe but are unwilling to quit smoking, they want to have functionally healthy livers with no cirrhosis but continue to drink alcohol, they want to have a good heart devoid of plagues from cholesterol deposition but refuse to quit eating fresh meats and eating habits which stop the heart before its time, they want to have great bodies and attractive figures with well-built muscles but are not ready to make the much needed time to engage in regular physical exercise.
In short they want to enjoy good health but are not willing to pay the price for the lifestyle that would bring them closer to realizing these worthy goals.
Health is not a coincidence or chance. It is a product of the little decisions or choices we make every day in our lives. This implies that for us to enjoy optimum health, we must be mindful of the choices we make in our daily routine activities.
Simple choices as to what to eat, when to eat, how to eat, when to sleep, when to rest, whether or not to exercise, to drink alcohol or water, to think positively or negatively in the long run determine our health status in most cases. This impact might not be immediate but it is just a matter of time.
Consciously or unconsciously, most people are making sacrifices of some sort. Unfortunately, they often sacrifice health, family, religion or other priceless possessions in order to gain the transitory pleasures of wealth, power, status, or fame.
Most choices are made due to the ignorance of their consequences or apathy to the known consequences of such choices. To enjoy vibrant health we need to consciously make concerted efforts to choose those things that have been proven through science and experience to enhance health.
Hippocrates the father of medicine made this famous comment “let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food” thus giving credence to the fact that the food we eat has an immense influence on our health.
The relationship between lifestyle choices and health has occupied human minds and been debated for years on both the international and local scenes.
The World Health Organisation in its Alma-Ata Declaration on primary health care as a strategy to achieve Health for All by the year 2000 pointed out, the importance of being responsible for oneself through choices and community participation in promoting health. In the same context, the Lalonde Report, which came out of Canada in 1974, already held that lifestyle and environmental conditions are more significant to the health of individuals than medical care.
In the same vein, the Ministry of Health of the republic of Ghana, under the leadership of the late Major Courage Quashigah introduced the Regenerative Health and Nutrition programme to encourage Ghanaians to make a paradigm shift from curative medicine to preventive or lifestyle medicine to check the tide of non-communicable diseases(NCDs) also called ‘diseases of choice’.
In conclusion, it is obvious from this article that our lifestyle choices surely lead to the state of our health. In other words healthy lifestyle choices would lead to good health whiles poor lifestyle choices would ultimately culminate into poor health. In the subsequent weekly articles, we would examine the various lifestyle choices and their attendant consequences in terms of health and longevity.

Why i Married Annie Secretly

cynthiaokpala.blogspot.com

When the entertainment circle was abuzz with the news that star singer, TuFace Idibia, was getting married to actress Annie Macaulay, many people expected to witness the ceremony live.

But the love birds literally pulled the carpet off the feet of such ambitious fans when they tied the nuptial knots in a very private ceremony somewhere in Lagos on Feb. 14, 2012. Many tongues haven’t stopped wagging ever since that ‘surprise package.’

An unperturbed TuFace recently explained why the wedding was kept a secret. In a meeting with LIF&BEAT , he said, “Annie is my first and true love. I had known her before I met the other women in my life. As a Christian, I had to marry one woman and it just had to be Annie.

“We had a secret wedding after we had reached an agreement and amicable understanding about the mothers of my children. It was a tough decision to make, one of the toughest in my life.

“I secretly married her because I have so much respect for my other babies’ mothers; I cannot afford to hurt their feelings with a sudden society wedding with Annie, not now. I chose herabove the others because she has been through it all with me.”

On Nov. 14, Annie marked her birthday and she was treated to a surprise soiree at Rumours Nightclub in Ikeja, G.R.A.

As if that was not enough, TuFace seized the opportunity to shower his ‘African Queen’ with expensive gifts that included a brand new car and glittering diamond jewellery.

Adediwura Adesegha say my Boobs Are getting me into Problems

cynthiaokpala.blogspot.com

Adediwura Adesegha is a beautiful actress who stands tall among the rising movie stars who are being tipped to take over from the established acts. In a recent chat, she speaks on the many troubles her bóobs and shape have caused her with men and other personal issues. Below is a brief excerpts:
Is there any part of your body you that men can’t resist?
We have the physical aspect and the spiritual and other aspects that surround that question. When we talk about physical attributes, it has to do with my shape, it has to do with whatever you think you can flaunt. For example, at a nightclub where you are expected to dress in a manner that portrays a club girl, in that case, I think I have something I should be able to flaunt. I have got bóobs (laughs). On a serious note, it has to do with your educational background. You have to be educated. The way the world is going now, you must be talented and outspoken. You must be an extrovert and must be able to face challenges. I think I have a sound educational background and so too are my physical attributes. So, I am well packaged.
You must be having it tough with men because of your shape and boóbs. How do you handle that?
My boóbs and shape do get me attracted to men just like it happens to every other lady that have got it but I think I have been able to handle it well. Besides, it is really no big deal to get advances from men because it’s like a daily routine, but its left to you as a lady to be responsible and respect yourself.
When would you get married?
Having a man to oneself is another job entirely. You have to search, open your eyes and pray. Its not something you just say ‘okay, I love him’, while what you have for him is not real. Some will be in love at the beginning but later, as the year rolls by, the love goes off. As regards when I will marry, I will keep you posted.How often do you have séx
