This has got to be one of the craziest marriage proposal responses ever (video)

A man was left surprised at the reply he got when he proposed to his unsuspecting girlfriend.

The couple had been walking through a lawn in the presence of friends when the man moved slightly behind and went down on one knee. He asked his woman to marry him when she turned around to see him with the ring but she obviously thought he was kidding and threw her snack at him.

When she eventually discovered he was serious, she jumped on him in excitement and they both went tumbling to the ground. She eventually agreed to marry him and both of them had tears of pure joy.

Watch her hilarious reaction to the proposal below.

President Buhari is a good man surrounded by cankerworms and caterpillars' - Dino Melaye

Senator Dino Melaye has described President Buhari as a good man surrounded by cankerworms and caterpillars. Dino made the remark during plenary while members of the Senate were discussing the reinstatement and sack of wanted former pension boss, Abdulrasheed Maina. 

Dino says the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, who has been indicted in Maina's reinstatement, has brought nothing but disgrace to the Buhari-led administration.

“It is pathetic. I want to ask this question to the executive; should we continue in sin and ask grace to abound? Time after time, the AGF and minister of justice has abuse dthis office. We are not talking about Maina. We should talk about the integrity of the AGF and minister of justice. If the law officer has his hands stained then the entire nation is one a stained. Mr President is a good man and he means well but he is surrounded by cankerworms and caterpillars. We should have the audacity to take strong decisions. Nigerians would understand why the office of AGF and minister of justice is separated. We must recommend to the president that the AGF has displayed gross incompetence for the office it is occupying” he said

BVN: Dabiri-Erewa appeals to CBN, AGF to give more time to Nigerians abroad to register

Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora has appealed to both the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) to put modalities and logistics in place for Nigerians in the Diaspora to obtain their own Bank Verification Number (BVN) to avoid forfeiture of their savings in their respective bank accounts.

The appeal became imperative due to an interim order of forfeiture granted by a Federal High Court in Abuja on Oct. 17, 2017 for the banks to show cause within 14 days why the balances in such accounts should not be forfeited.

In a statement in Abuja by Abdur-Rahman Balogun, Special Assistant Media to Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, implored CBN to make it possible to all Nigerians in the Diaspora to have their BVN done in their countries of abode as there has been challenges in getting it before now.

The Nigerians in the Diaspora has been remitting billions of US Dollars back to the country on yearly basis, the highest on the continent of Africa, thus contributing to the socio-economic development of the country..

``I hereby appeal to the CBN to look into the challenges the Nigerians living abroad face in getting their BVN done and extend the deadline for them to get the BVN done’’, Dabiri-Erewa pleaded.

The Presidential Aide also pleaded with the commercial banks to make the procedure easier for their customers, especially those living outside the country, to be able to meet up with the new deadline.

The Federal Government had on the 28th September, 2017 instituted an action in court for the forfeiture of any balance in a bank account without a BVN.

 

"This is why the Attorney-General of the Federation should intervene in this matter to assist our Nigerians living abroad who at disadvantaged by allowing them more time to comply with the BVN directive", Dabiri-Erewa pleaded.

 

The present practice is that banks only permit deposits into such accounts. No withdrawal is allowed. Should the Federal Government succeed, the money is forfeited permanently.

Although the banks may challenge the action up to the Supreme Court, Dabiri-Erewa reiterated her appeals to Nigerians abroad to urgently take steps to register for the BVN.

Everybody is joining music for the wrong reasons' - Femi Kuti says, insists that the drug/substance abuse problem in Nigeria has to be tackled now

Femi, the eldest son of afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti, gave his opinion on 'artistes' who join the music industry for the wrong reasons and the drug abuse problems arising in Nigeria. This was all said during a recent interview with HipTV.

On People joining the music industry for the wrong reasons, he said,

We must insist to teach our children music properly or else there will be pandemonium in the industry. Everybody is oining music for the wrong reason.. It's not about the fame. Music is very gidly and it's so important that if t's not done properly, I feat that we are going to have a very sad future in the industry. So thats's why I keep insisting that young boys and girls should learn a musical instrument. 

On drugs and substance abuse in Nigeria, he said;

The drugs and alcohol abuse is everywhere, It's just not Nigeria. The great Europe and America - It's a big problem there too. But what they do since they know it's a problem is an institution - they have rehabilitation centers. When you cfrash, you go into rehab. The only institution we have is Yaba left and its not ghjen ghen enough. Sensible peope will understand there is a problem. How did America/Europe tackle these pronblems? Even my father's time, they were on hard drugs..Heroin, cocaine and everything. I don't know if Nigeria has gotten there but the Alchohol is a massive problem. We hare to start tackling it now or else we are going to be in big problem. 

The 2 women on trial for murdering Kim Jong-un's half-brother are escorted by 200 police to Malaysian airport where they allegedly poisoned him (Photos)

The two women on trial for murdering the half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un were escorted by 200 armed policemen to the Malaysian airport where they allegedly poisoned him with a chemical, the United Nations classified as a weapon of mass destruction.

Indonesian Siti Aisyah, 25, and Doan Thi Huong, 28, a Vietnamese, are being charged with the killing of Kim Jong-nam smeared his face with VX, a chemical poison at the Kuala Lumpur’s international airport on 13 February.

As part of the trial, Aisyah, 25 and Huong, 29, were dressed in bulletproof vests as they were brought in to Kuala Lumpur International Airport along with court officials.

According to Daily Mail, about 200 police officers, many armed with rifles and wearing masks, fanned out as the entourage arrived at the terminal, where large numbers of journalists were waiting. The group was first taken to the check-in area where they allegedly smeared the nerve agent in Kim's face who died within 20 minutes of the deadly chemical attack.

The suspects were then taken to a cafe called Bibik Heritage, where Aisyah met a man identified in court as 'Mr . hang' who allegedly wiped a liquid on her hands before she carried out the attack. They later headed to the clinic where Kim was taken after the attack and then to a taxi stand, where the women went after the alleged murder. 

The authorities also led them to a toilet where one of the women had headed after the attack, and walked through a shopping area.

During the visit, one of the women Huong appeared unwell while Siti Aisyah broke down in tears. The women were then provided wheelchairs with prosecutors saying it was due to the weight of their protective clothing.

However, the visit was aimed at giving the judge and others involved in the high profile case a better understanding of how events unfolded on the day of the murder.
