“My Late Husband Battled With An Illness For 15 Years” – Patience Ozokwor

his death. Seasoned Nollywood actress, Patience Ozokwor in a recent chat with Lanre Odukoya spoke on how different she was from her movie roles and her husband’s battle with an ailment for 15 years before

On Movies That Moved Her To Tears
have exposed the fellow to the world to see.
You want to know the one that moved me to tears about my characters? There are characters I’d played in movies and after watching them back at home, I just thanked God it wasn’t me- it was a character.
Nearly all the movies where I played wicked roles made me cry because I remember what that character had done to somebody. I do these jobs to the best of my knowledge because I want to sit down at home, watch and cry over what I’m doing to people.
There was a movie I did many years ago, it was titled Prophecy- what moved me to tears in that movie was that I was so wicked that I seized feeding bottle from the mouth of a new-born baby who lost his mother and I was supposed to be taking care of the baby. The baby was crying, I seized his feeding bottle and threw it away. I wept profusely, the director stopped shooting until I was able to control
myself. Then I summoned courage to continue. If someone had done it in real life, I would There was another one where I went to take my sister’s daughter from the village, what I did to the girl, if any human being can do it to a fellow human being, I don’t know what God would do to that person in turn.
I met her in the kitchen, beat her so much that she fell down the stairs, rolled down and died from broken head and pains all over. I’d been playing wicked roles but those two movies are exceptionally horrible. I doubt that any human being would do that to anyone.
You didn’t say anything about your husband…
Oh, he was a mechanical engineer, he was a civil servant in Enugu, he was sick for a long time, for more than 15 years and he died, he passed on in 2002

Popular poet mocks Nigerian judges in new poem

For those who do not know, Professor Niyi Osundare is a prolific poet, dramatist and literary critic. According to Wikipedia, he is also renowned for his commitment to socially relevant art and artistic activism.

A recipient of the Nigerian National Merit Award (NNMA) for academic excellence in 2014, his poem about the hypocrisy of Nigerian judges and corruption in Nigeria recently went viral for the right reasons.

Read it below:

My Lord Please tell me where to keep your bribe?

Do I drop it in your venerable chambers

Or carry the heavy booty to your immaculate mansion

Shall I bury it in the capacious water tank In your well laundered backyard

Or will it breathe better in the septic tank

Since money can deodorize the smelliest crime

Shall I haul it up the attic between the ceiling and your lofty roof

Or shall I conjure the walls to open up

And swallow this sudden bounty from your honest labor

Shall I give a billion to each of your paramours?

The black, the light, the Fanta-yellow

They will surely know how to keep the loot In places too remote for the sniffing dog

Or shall I use the particulars Of your anonymous maidservants and manservant

With their names on overflowing bank accounts

While they famish like ownerless dogs

Shall I haul it all to your village In the valley behind seven mountains

Where potholes swallow up the hugest jeep

And Penury leaves a scar on every house My Lord

It will take the fastest machine

Many, many days to count this booty; and lucky bank bosses

May help themselves to a fraction of the loot

My Lord Tell me where to keep your bribe?

The “last hope of the common man”

Has become the last bastion of the criminally rich

A terrible plague bestrides the land

Besieged by rapacious judges and venal lawyers

Behind the antiquated wig and the slavish glove

The penguin gown and the obfuscating jargon

Is a rot and riot whose stench is choking the land

Behind the rituals and roted rigmaroles

Old antics connive with new tricks

Behind the prim-and-proper costumes of masquerades

Corruption stands, naked, in its insolent impunity

For sale to the highest bidder

Interlocutory and perpetual injunctions

Opulent criminals shop for pliant judges

Protect the criminal, enshrine the crime

And Election Petition Tribunals

Ah, bless those goldmines and bottomless booties!

Scoundrel vote-riggers romp to electoral victory

All hail our buyable Bench and conniving Bar

A million dollars in Their Lordship’s bedroom

A million euros in the parlor closet

Countless naira beneath the kitchen sink

Our courts are fast running out of Ghana-must-go’s*

The “Temple of Justice”

Announced is broken in every brick

The roof is roundly perforated By termites of graft

My Lord Tell me where to keep your bribe? Judges doze in the courtroom

Having spent all night, counting money and various “gifts”

And the Chief Justice looks on with tired eyes

As Corruption usurps his gavel.

Crime pays in this country

Corruption has its handsome rewards Just one judgment sold to the richest bidder

Will catapult Judge & Lawyer to the Billionaires’

Club The Law, they say, is an ass Sometimes fast, sometimes slow

But the Law in Nigeria is a vulture

Fat on the cash-and-carry carrion of murdered Conscience

Won gb’ebi f’alare Won gb’are f’elebi

They kill our trust in the common good

These Monsters of Mammon in their garish gowns

Unhappy the land where jobbers are judges

Where Impunity walks the streets like a large, invincible

Demon Come Sunday, they troop to the church Friday,

They mouth their mantra in pious mosques But they pervert

Justice all week long And dig us deeper into the hellish hole

Nigeria is a huge corpse with milling maggots on its wretched hulk

They prey every day, they prey every night For the endless

Decomposition of our common soul My Most Honorable

Lord Just tell me where to keep your bribe

Ladies, 9 things men don't like

Men are simple creatures. A real man is honest and open and true to himself. He is a hard-worker, respects women and shows appreciation for all of his blessings. Once committed, he is faithful to only her. A real man knows who he is, what he wants, and is grateful for what he has. However, it is easy to just chase your prince charming by being the ultimate male repellent. Here are nine things that guys find most unattractive in girls. READ ALSO: Status updates that would make your ex burn with jealousy Never be caught dead doing any of these things

1. Not smiling

Lady with hideous eyebrows

Smiling shows your true beauty. Guys don’t like when a girl is strong-faced. Matter of fact, you look so much better when you smile! Nothing says gorgeous better than a soft smile from a girl, so smile always.

2. Too perfumery

Killing him with scent

Girls who bathe in their eau de perfumes do more repelling than attracting guys. It’s one thing to smell nice and another to choke someone from wearing too much perfume.

3. Bad hygiene

For the love of God woman, take a shower Cannot stress this enough, looking dirty or smelling bad is a huge turn-off. There is no reason why anyone should appear looking like disorganized garbage or smell like rotten food (a bit of an exaggeration) but personal hygiene is very important and shouldn't be taken for granted

4. Too much make up

There is such a thing as bad, too much make up. Wearing too much make-up is first of all, waste of resources and spending all of your savings on make-up and still looking bad is just sad. Guys like when a girl is confident in her looks and in applying make-up, less is always more.

5. Flirting with other guys

The grass isn’t always greener on the other side. Flirting with another guy to make your guy jealous or for any reason conveys a different message to the guy. SO, unless you want to the guy to back off, respect yourself and appreciate what you have.

6. Gossiping

Gossiping just shows immaturity and it is very unattractive when done is a silly way. It’s really not okay to judge anyone and doing it all the time, being petty about it will just send the guy packing.

7. Being too desperate

Don’t be the girl described as “the thirst is real”. If he wants you, you will know, If he wants you and he is not doing anything about it, don’t help him out. You can flash a green light but never beg for his attention or overdo yourself so he can finally make a move.

8. Nagging

There’s nothing attractive about being a human bulldozer. Let the man breath.Hammer in your points but don’t start singing about it every second of the day. No one really likes a nag and guys definitely hate to be at the receiving end of non-stop chatter of all their wrongs.

9. Acting helpless

The damsel-in-distress card gets old and unless you are with a guy with some form of “hero” complex, it is not very attractive.

4 lies women tell their husbands

A marriage is for better or for worse but at times one party will lie to avoid the worse part. That party could be the wife and she can tell lies to her husband for different reasons. The lies she will tell can be deemed as innocent white lies meaning that they veil the truth. It’s a lie told with good intentions and not one meant to hurt the other person.

I’m sure some women think they can’t lie but they may find themselves telling lies the longer their stay in the marriage.

It could be telling their husband he hasn't added weight when he has to assuring him that their parents love him when they don’t. Here are four major lies all wives should be familiar with:

1. “You’re the best sex I've ever had”

This could go in line with telling him his penis is the biggest on earth or he has made them feel like no one ever has. If they had a good sex life before, they would have experienced other men.
Sexier men, bigger men and so on but she ended up with her husband who they love so much that they chose him as their best. However if it’s about him being physically the best one earth…girl, that’s a big, fat white lie.

2. “I’ll be ready in a bit”

We know women take forever to get ready and wives are the same. Their husband may want to take them out for date night but they have soo much to do, it’s taking forever. When he asks how much longer he has to wait, they shorten the time instinctively when they know by that time, there’s no way they will ever be ready. It’s just a white lie to give him false hope.

3. “No, I didn't tell my friend about it”

Women talk. They talk to their parents, friends and siblings to an extent. In marriages, they tend to be more tight-lipped but if they have a big problem with you, rather than go to a counselor or something, they will tell their friends. Plus, if you do something nice or something spectacular in bed, they will be inclined to share how great you are. They may not give full details but they will summarize. And when he ask them if they talk, they will say no, so you don’t realize you are practically married to them and their friends.

4. “You’re right”

Right ke? You are never right, we always are. But sometimes, your husband needs to feel like a man and you don’t know better than him so to pamper his ego, you will apologize or say he was right. This will make him feel great about himself and will save you the stress of arguing with him. Plus deep down she will know she is right so she too will feel good.
