Unbelievable!!; Nine years old boy married 62years old woman

The boy – now 9 years old –Saneie Masilelais the world’s youngest groom for the second time after remarrying the 62-year-old woman he married last year.
Although other villagers and onlookers describe the nuptials as “sickening”, the young groom dressed in a silver tuxedo says he did it again to make the marriage “official”.
No minding the 53-year-age gap, they repeated their vows a year later in front of 100 guests. His brideHelen Shabanguis a mother of 5, with children aged between 28 and 38 years old.
The ceremony took place in front of Helen’s long-term husbandAlfred Shabangu. He said “My kids and I are happy because we don’t have a problem with her marrying the boy – and I don’t care what other people say.”
Both families claim the wedding is a simply “ritual” after the young school boy was told by his dead ancestors to wed last year.
The boy however hopes he would have a proper wedding to a woman his age in the future.
“I told my mother that I wanted to get married because I really did want to.
I’m happy that I married Helen – but I will go to school and study hard.
When I’m older I will marry a lady my own age. I chose Helen because I love her and, although we don’t live together all the time, we meet at the dumping site where my mother works regularly.”
Helen also told reporters that she is excited that Saneie chose her. “One day Sanele would grow normally and have family of his own and get married one day, all this ceremony is for making ancestors happy. We are playing.” she said.
The young boy’s mother is also fine with the wedding, telling journalists;
“He was just happy to get married, very excited and was not embarrassed about it. So much so he wanted to do it again.
After the wedding last year people keep asking them question like will they live together, sleep together, have babies but I keep telling them that after the wedding everything went back to normal – nothing changed.
Sanele moved to Venda not long after the wedding because he wanted to learn a new language, but they are very close. Our families are very close.
It was nice celebrate with a wedding once more, it was after all a calling from the ancestors.
By doing this we made the ancestors happy. If we hadn’t done what my son had asked then something bad would have happened in the family.”

Nigeria gossip, Impeachment

There is trouble in Nasarawa State as the PDP is plotting to remove a Governor that was elected by the people of the state. Consequently, President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday met behind closed-doors with members of the Nasarawa State House of Assembly.
The meeting is believed to be Jonathan’s way of intervening in the impeachment process that the lawmakers had instituted against the state Governor, Tanko Al-Makura, who met with the President over the weekend in his bid to stop his illegal removal from office.
The members of the assembly who met with Jonathan were led by their Speaker, Musa Muhammed. He told State House correspondents at the end of the parley that the meeting was a private one.
“It is a private visit. We are here to see the President on a private visit. I do not have the mandate of the assembly to address the press. We have the Chairman of the House Committee on Information who we have agreed should be talking on our behalf,” he said.
When asked whether the assembly was under pressure from the Presidency or any other quarters to drop the impeachment process, Muhammed asked, “Who is putting pressure on who?”
When pressed further to disclose whether the meeting had changed the situation in the state, the Speaker said he did not have the mandate of the assembly to speak with journalists. He said only the Chairman of the House Committee on Information was mandated to speak to journalists.

I meet this girl,can i ask her for date in our first meeting.

I met this pretty girl at a friend’s house just last month and I took her out to lunch a few days later. We exchanged a few phone calls and text messages and I was feeling her until I met someone else just two weeks later. The girl invited me to birthday party and when I got there, I fell for the celebrant who happens to be the girl’s older sister. I’ve been on just one date with this girl and I’ve never touched or even kissed her so can I ask her older sister out? I managed to get her number at her birthday party but I don’t know what the younger sister may have told her about us. Nothing happened, I swear. I can’t stop thinking about the older sister, she’s more my type. I wish I had met her first and yes she’s single. Should I make the move? I need your advise. Thanks

how sweet to quit a job

Until your art pays the bills, you've got to work. But let's stop for a moment and imagine how sweet it must be to quit!
Today, Maria Popova's Brain Pickings featured a resignation letter from Sherwood Anderson when he left his advertising job upon becoming a successful novelist. I love the opening lines:
"You have a man in your employ that I have thought for a long time should be fired. I refer to Sherwood Anderson. He is a fellow of a good deal of ability, but for a long time I have been convinced that his heart is not in his work."
This reminded me with delight of the first time I walked out on a job. Like Sherwood Anderson, I was a writer. Unlike Sherwood Anderson, who quit because he was successful, I quit because my boss had what my mother called an "insect authority complex." He thought he should be in control of the world, but lacking that authority, he bossed his adolescent staff around. The air never tasted as sweet as it did after I threw my apron down and marched out into the night, where I sat with my notebook and wrote an essay about what it means to work for someone.
I had my college tuition to pay, and I was terrified as I sat there holding my pen.
But I kept writing, and writing, every day.
