Having A Child Changed Me- Terry G
Terry G spoke about how his little son has made him change;
“Having a kid has a lot to do with my change of character. Sometimes you see life in a different way. You perceive it in another way another time. When I had a kid, I saw so much value in my life and the future. I became humbled and developed the mindset that anything that has to do with my future must automatically involve my son as well. I started changing a lot of things and it actually scared a lot of negative friends from me. It helped me resolve and re-organise myself again. In the past, some children appeared scared to come close to me, but all that has changed. Fatherhood has been awesome, amazing and a miracle to me. My son is my replica.”

Article : 9 Ways To Help a Lonely Friend
You might take her to the coffee shop that gives you a sense of community when you’re on your own and volunteer to help find a place in her neighborhood.
1. A Small Gesture
A lonely person’s pity meter is a finely tuned instrument. There is no greater kindness than not extending an overly magnanimous invitation that makes her feel like the neighborhood charity case. A small gesture—an offhand invitation to lunch—is often a better antidote.
2. Dinner and A Movie
Some people are so debilitated by loneliness that they can hardly discuss it (or anything else). Inviting a friend to a concert or movie will give you something to talk about over dinner.
3. Prescription for Success
Offer to accompany her to a medical appointment. One study found that doctors said they treat socially isolated people less well than patients with supportive families, and they’ve seen other health practitioners do the same.
4. Try Not to Cancel
Try not to reschedule plans or cancel at the last minute. Lonely people tend to see social engagements as life buoys in a long week; canceling can leave them feeling unmoored.
5. Checking In
Leave a message. A voicemail or e-mail can make her feel she hasn’t been forgotten.
6. Reality Check
Since research shows that the lonely tend to remember more details about their social encounters and often interpret remarks and nonverbal messages negatively, you might give her a different interpretation of her officemates’ behavior or be her reality check at a party.
7. She’s Not Your Wingman
Do not abandon her at the buffet! Dragging your friend to a party might seem like a good idea—she’ll get out of the house and meet people—but throwing your friend into a clutch of cheese-straw-wielding revelers by herself while you catch up with other guests is almost guaranteed to leave her feeling worse than before.
8. Help Her Find Her Place of Comfort
Remind your friend that doing things alone—going to a movie, eating out—is hard for a lot of people, especially the first time. You might take her to the coffee shop that gives you a sense of community when you’re on your own and volunteer to help find a place in her neighborhood.
9. Invitation Is Welcome
If you’re part of a couple, don’t let that stop you from inviting your single friend to join the two of you for dinner or a Saturday outing to Ikea. One O editor says that in her post-divorce despair, some of her happiest, least fraught times were with her married friends who just asked her to show up, plop down on the sofa, drink a little wine and stay for dinner.

TRAGIC:Two Exhausted Passengers Die In Traffic Jam On Niger Bridge
The victims, a middle-aged man and a little child, were said to have died due to exhaustion arising from the long hours spent in their vehicles while trying to cross the Niger Bridge.
The deceased whose identities were not immediately known, according to Vanguard sources, was a minor who was coming back with his mother in a commercial bus from Lagos, while the second victim, was a trader who travelled all the way from the North to Onitsha to sell his goods.
It was learnt that while the small child died instantly on her mother’s lap at the Bridge, the business man died minutes after crossing the bridge to Onitsha from the North. It was alleged that the child had cried for a long time due to heat in the vehicle while waiting to cross the bridge before the mother eventually discovered that her child was no longer breathing.
The bewildered mother was said to have become hysterical as she burst into tears running helter-skelter when she discovered that her child whom she thought fell asleep was actually dead. The trader was also said to have boarded the vehicle from the North and travelled smoothly until the Asaba end of the Bridge where they spent several hours under the scorching heat in an attempt to cross the Niger Bridge. An eye witness account said that the victim and other passengers with him in the vehicle had already crossed the bridge and was offloading his goods from the vehicle when he suddenly slumped and died.
The Federal Government had repeatedly promised in the last 10 years to build a second Niger Bridge to ease traffic congestion on the bridge which is the gateway from Lagos and other South-west states to the South-east and South-South.

Jose Mourinho Accepts FA Charges, Expects to Be Fined

Just nine Lamborghini Veneno Roadsters will be available – at £2.8 million before tax
The Lamborghini Veneno Roadster has been unveiled – it’s an open-top version of the supercar that Lamborghini revealed at the 2013 Geneva motor show and just nine will be built. Like the hard-top version, the Veneno Roadster is based on the Aventador and has a 6.5-litre V12 engine. The unit is mated to a seven-speed “ISR” transmission; drive is to all four wheels and there’s a “racing chassis” with pushrod suspension and horizontal spring and damper units.
The Lamborghini Veneno Roadster is based on the Aventador and has a 6.5-litre V12 engine
Most of the Roadster’s exterior body panels are shared with the hard-top model; Lamborghini says the entire front end acts as an aerodynamic wing to provide optimum airflow and downforce at speed. A smooth underbody also helps to reduce drag, while the dramatic rear diffuser accommodates four large exhaust pipes.
The bespoke alloy wheels include a carbon-fibre ring that helps to deliver cooling air to the carbon-ceramic brake discs, while the “Rosso Veneno” paint colour was developed specifically for the Roadster. Carbon-fibre is used extensively throughout the car.
Lamborghini says that nine production cars will be built during the course of 2014. The price for each car will be 3.3 million Euros (about 2,788,905) before tax.

NEWS: President Jonathan will probe aviation minister over $1.6 millon bullet proof BMW Car
Punch reports that President Jonathan will soon order relevant government agencies to investigate the purchase of two bulletproof vehicles for the Minister of Aviation, Ms Stella Oduah.
Special Adviser to the President on Political Matters, Ahmed Gulak, in an interview with Punch on Friday said President Jonathan would not shield the minister.
Gulak, however, said the President would not take a decision on the fate of the embattled minister based on media reports.
He said Jonathan’s decision would be based on verifiable facts, which could only be achieved when relevant government agencies investigate the matter.
The presidential aide said Jonathan would not hesitate to show anybody found guilty of corruption or impunity the way out of his government.
He assured Nigerians that the President was on top of the situation. He did not, however, disclose when the President would order the probe. He also did not name the agencies that would probe the allegation. Gulak said;
“I can assure you that President Jonathan will not shield the minister or any government official for that matter if he receives information that is true. In this particular instance, the reports are in the media. But media reports are not enough to act on. The President is on top of the situation. He will direct appropriate authorities to investigate the matter. Anybody found wanting in terms of corruption or impunity, President Jonathan will not hesitate to show such person the way out of his government.
“The most important thing is that such decision must be based on facts as provided by appropriate government agencies that will investigate, not based on media reports.”
SHOCKING: Housemaid Steals Her Boss’s N3 Million, Invests In Boyfriend’s Business
The senior magistrate, Mr Shuaibu Usman, convicted Dogo, 23, after she pleaded guilty to the charge.
Usman also ordered the convict to pay back the $20,000 to Mrs Maris Asuku, her employer.
Earlier, the prosecutor, Christian Munonye, had told the court that the matter was reported at the Garki Police Station, Abuja, on July 27 by Asuku, who lives at Iwopin Close, Area 1, Section 1, Garki, Abuja.
Munonye said Asuku discovered that the amount was missing after she had sent her housemaid to bring her medication for her from a wardrobe in her bedroom where the money was kept.
The prosecutor added that the money was to be used by the complainant on a trip to the United States.
He said the maid left the house after stealing the money, but was trailed and arrested in Lagos, adding that the offence contravened the provisions of Section 289 of the Penal Code.
Section 289 of the code states that an employee who steals the property of an employer or master shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to seven years with or without an option of fine.
Dogo had told the court that she gave the money to an unidentified man from Port Harcourt.
“I gave the money to one man who said he was from Port Harcourt.
“The man told me that he was going to use the money for business and give me back,” she said.
