Richard Branson shares his beautiful love story as he celebrates 40th wedding anniversary

Posted: 06 Feb 2016 12:03 PM PST

For Richard Branson, courting his wife was no walk in the park but his persistence finally paid off. Read about the length the founder of Virgin Group went to in order to impress his wife and get her to fall in love with him as they celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary.


"Forty years ago this Sunday, my life changed for the better, forever. On February 7th 1976 at our Virgin Records studio, the Manor, I experienced love at first sight upon meeting a blonde-haired, down to earth, Scottish beauty named Joan, who just happened to be making a cup of tea.

I generally make up my mind about someone within 30 seconds of meeting them, and Joan won my heart instantly. She was unlike any other women I had ever met. She was beautiful. She was bright. She was witty. She was down to earth. She was fun. And she had eyes made of magic. However, the feeling wasn't immediately reciprocated. I had to work hard for her attention, and ultimately affection. 

I found out that she worked in a bric-a-brac shop in Westbourne Grove called Dodo's, close to our Virgin Records office on Vernon Yard, and I began to persistently hang around the shop – popping in to buy countless objects that I really didn't need, and had no room for since I lived on a small houseboat. But it was worth it for many reasons; because I got to see Joan, and because one purchase – an old Danish bacon advertising sign with a caption that read: 'Now, that's what I call music' – inspired the Now! CD compilations.

Eventually my courting paid off, and soon we were meeting up regularly; stealing 20 precious minutes at lunch, quarter of an hour before a meeting, or a few moments after she shut up shop. But our relationship wasn't straightforward, and two years later, still determined to win her heart, I made a grand gesture. 
Upon hearing that there was an island in the British Virgin Islands up for sale, I called the people selling it to enquire. As we were still in the early days of Virgin Records, I by no means had the cash to buy it. Luckily, the realtor didn't know this and offered me an all-expenses paid trip to see the island that included a house and helicopter! I agreed to go on one condition – if I could bring a guest.

To my delight, Joan agreed to join me on the trip. Together we strolled around Necker Island and dreamed up plans for turning it into our home and a haven for musicians. Smitten with the unspoilt paradise, and keen to impress Joan, I offered the highest amount I could afford: $100,000. The realtor's 'discounted' asking price was $6 million, so you can imagine the response I got. There was no laid-on helicopter on our return trip, and we hitch-hiked back to the airport!
 
A year went by and nobody else made an offer, so the owner, who was desperate to sell, finally agreed to a purchase price of $180,000. I begged and borrowed this money, and Joan and I made it our home and were married there 11 years later.

I don't like to think what my life would be like had I not met Joan. She is the most amazing and supportive partner, wonderful mother to our two lovely children Holly and Sam, and perfect grandmother to our three beautiful grandchildren, Artie, Etta and Eva-Deia.

"Happy anniversary Joan. Forty years have flown by with you at my side. It's been one big ridiculous adventure of fun, friendship and love. Thank you for making life extraordinary. Your eyes are still as magic as they were forty years ago!"

Secret Service call for the re-opening of Whitney Houston's death investigation

Posted: 06 Feb 2016 11:46 AM PST

 A former secret service agent has called for the re-opening of Whitney Houston's death investigation saying its the only way to solve the mystery behind her daughter Bobbi Kristina's eerily similar death

From The National Enquirer
John A. Carman, a former Secret Service agent, told The National Enquirer, "This smacks of a double cover-up!"
Meanwhile, this publication has also learned another investigator, Isaac Weishaupt, has determined there is enough "evidence" to show the deaths could be related in both circumstance — and motive.
Both deaths are linked by a combination of drugs and Bobbi Kristina's abusive boyfriend, Nick Gordon, 25, who was either near or at both death scenes.
"Whitney Houston ends up dead in a bathtub, covered with bruises, under hinky circumstances," declared John. "Three years later, (Bobbi Kristina) dies in a bathtub, also covered with bruises, under hinky circumstances."
John, who has worked hundreds of drug cases, said to solve the case, detectives must reopen a Whitney probe.
"Whitney's case was dropped by Beverly Hills cops who didn't do a proper forensic investigation," he charged. 
"Her autopsy report had more questions than answers, and is frankly laughable as a legal document."

Two Nigerians commended by UK Emergency Services for their bravery and selfless acts during nightclub tragedy

Posted: 06 Feb 2016 11:57 AM PST

Chief Officers from Northamptonshire's three emergency services came together on Jan. 27th at a special joint ceremony to acknowledge and commend the actions of staff and members of the public in responding to a major incident at the Lava and Ignite nightclub in October 2011, where two young women tragically lost their lives.

Among those commended were three members of the public namely: Chinedu Ani, Olabanji Gellately-Olanrewaju and Leonel Oliviera. Olanrewaju couldn't make it to the ceremony

Chinedu Ani who travelled from London to attend the event held at Northampton High School was commended for his actions in repeatedly trying to pull trapped people out of the staircase crush and to safety.  He received a standing ovation from emergency services personnel for his brave and selfless act.

Clubbers were involved in a crush on the main staircase area in the nightclub and students Nabila Nanfuka, 22, and Laurene-Danielle Jackson, 19, suffered fatal injuries while trying to leave the club, which was based in Northampton town centre.

At the commendation ceremony, staff from Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service, Northamptonshire Police and the East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS), were presented with formal commendations and letters of appreciation, acknowledging their efforts and professionalism in bringing the incident under control and limiting the number of people killed or seriously injured.

Adrian Davis, Head of Service for Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service said:

"There was rightly a complex and lengthy investigation into this incident, which concluded with the Coroner's inquest at the end of last year. Following its conclusion all three chief officers felt it was now appropriate to pay tribute and recognise the tremendous work of the emergency responders in dealing with the events that unfolded at the Lava and Ignite nightclub."

Deputy Chief Constable, Andy Frost was the Police Gold Commander on the night of the incident and said: "What happened that night was an absolute tragedy.  We know that without the combined efforts of the staff from Northamptonshire Police, Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service and East Midlands Ambulance Service, together with members of the public, there would have undoubtedly been more people killed or seriously injured."

Three police officers; five fire officers, six EMAS staff and three members of the public were awarded formal commendations for the exemplary actions they took in responding to the incident.  A further 116 members of staff received letters of appreciation from chief officers acknowledging the significant role they played and for their professionalism.

Richard Henderson, Director of Operations with East Midlands Ambulance Service said: "This was a very challenging and stressful incident where split second decisions had to be made.  We are extremely proud of the actions taken by the emergency teams.  They worked together very effectively, in tremendously difficult circumstances. They showed a great deal of compassion in supporting trapped, distressed and injured members of the public."

Leicester City thrash Man City 3-1 at the Etihad stadium

Posted: 06 Feb 2016 12:03 PM PST

Leicester City is here to stay! The surprise EPL table toppers this afternoon thrashed Manchester city 3-0 in Man city's home to ascertain their supremacy in the English Premier League this season.

Leicester City dominated the game and had more possession for large durations of the game, and are rewarded with three points and sit top of the table with 13 games to go till the season's end.
Winger and creativity king Riyad Mahrez went on a mazy run down the Leicester right before being fouled on the edge of the box which led to the Leicester opener.
Then defender Huth  got the decisive touch ahead of Demichelis to turn home Mahrez's free kick from close range to put the visitors ahead and Jamie Vardy  almost doubled Leicester's lead after racing clear of the City defence, who had goalkeeper Hart to thank to keeping the score at 1-0.
Winger Riyad Mahrez let fly with a great strike after cleverly evading the challenges of two Manchester City defenders to double the lead making it 2-0.When Robert Huth headed in the third on 59 minutes, some home fans headed for the exits,leaving a lot of seats empty.
We want four!' chanted the Leicester fans excitedly. And it was only down to Joe Hart's saves that Jamie Vardy didn't make it four on 67 minutes. With five minutes to go  Sergio Aguero headed in on 87 minutes from Bersant Celina's cross to make it 1-3 on home soil.
This is the third time Man City have been well beaten this season, having gone down 4-1 at Tottenham and 4-1 at home to Liverpool.

Congratulations!

I couldn't sleep for 3days after Chinese club offered me over £200k per week - Odion Ighalo

Posted: 06 Feb 2016 09:40 AM PST

Super Eagles and Watford Fc of England hotshot Odion Ighalo has revealed how restless he felt after a chinese club offered to pay him a mega sum to leave Watford last summer and join them.

The Edo native has been a revelation this season after his 14 goals in 24games  has helped Watford climb up the table and on the brink of avoiding relegation.

Hebei China Fortune had offered Ighalo a four - year deal and were willing to pay Watford £10 million compensation to severe ties with the Nigeria international.

"I was very close. They made a £10m bid and were offering me over £200,000 a week; a four-year contract. I couldn't sleep for three days,"  Odion Ighalo told the Daily Mail UK.

"That kind of money is not easy to turn down. Some team-mates in the dressing room were saying, "You can't miss this chance". But I don't jump into decisions like that.

" I knew God would direct me. When I said I don't want to go, they offered me more money, almost £300,000 a week. I told them it's not about the money."

'I have 14 goals in the Premier League, how do I go to China now?' said Ighalo, who signed a new five-year deal in September thought to be worth about £30,000 a week."

They have called again and I have turned them down again,' said Ighalo. 'Maybe if I keep scoring goals, that team will come with triple the money at the end of the season. When the time is right to go to China I will know. If it's for me it will come to pass.

'When I was in Ajegunle, I was watching the Premier League, dreaming one day I would be part of it. If I keep doing what I'm doing I can enjoy my football in England for four, five or six years.

'I helped this team to promotion. How can I leave because of money? I know money is good. With that sort of money I can secure my life. But you can't sell your dream.'

'I'm happy to be one of them. I'm proud to be Nigerian and to have come from a ghetto like that. It is not the best place to grow up. It wasn't easy and it has been a rough journey. But it gave me strength to work and keep struggling. Looking back, I can't complain. Hard work and the grace of God have paid off in my life.'

Gov Tambuwal and Maryam: "It was not a “secret marriage” as all the mandatory rites provided by Islam were fulfilled"

Posted: 06 Feb 2016 09:25 AM PST

Jaafar Jaafar, a close of Governor Aminu Tambuwal's new Maryam Mairo Mustapha, sets the record straight about the couple's relationship in a piece titled "Celebrating Mrs. Tambuwal"
"I know about Maryam Mairo Mustapha's years of courtship with Sokoto State governor, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, since he was the Speaker of the House of Representatives,"
I planned to travel to Kano from Abuja to attend the wedding on Friday, but a last-minute official engagement spoilt my plan. Mairo won't easily forgive me for this.

Tambuwal and Mairo's plan to marry was deliberately delayed until he left office as Speaker of the House of Representatives. But as fate would have it, Tambuwal got another office, a situation that ultimately defeated his aversion to publicity and pomp and pageantry inherent in political office holders' marriage.

To set the records straight for gossip news sites that concoct stories to amuse their readers, it was not a "secret marriage" as all the mandatory rites provided by Islam were fulfilled. The Chief Imam of Kano, Professor Sani Zahraddeen, officiated the marriage at the residence of her guardian, Lawal Mukhtar, a dowry was paid and family members, relatives and friends witnessed it.

Tambuwal's preference to low-key marriage is understandable. In Nigeria, once the marriage of a governor is made public, it will become a state affair, and the public till will be tilted to fund the private affair. In such marriages, public funds are usually used to fund elaborate parties, chartered flights, mother's eve, (and even grandmothers eve), celebrity magazines, etc.

Well-educated, unassuming, kind and accomplished woman, Mairo garnered years of work experience in telecoms, oil and gas, IT, and energy sectors.

Mairo Mustapha Balarabe is a daughter of a former Member of the House of Representatives (1979-1983) and one of the educated disciples of late Malam Aminu Kano. Among the Members of the House of Representatives from Kano in those days, late Mustapha Balarabe and Sidi H. Ali were the only ones who remained loyal to Malam Aminu Kano.

At a point, Malam Aminu Kano considered him for the governorship ticket of PRP in 1982, but the permutation changed when Sabo Bakinzuwo, a senator then, picked the ticket. He was later appointed the commissioner of finance in the Sabo Bakinzuwo administration in 1983. He died in 1986.

Although it is a special moment for Mairo, but she surely will be in tears. In such a special day when Hajia, who died in 2011, was not alive to see Mairo in her matrimonial home, counsel her, embrace her, pray for her, it will be a mixed feeling of joy, grief and tears"

Photos: Doctor who was declared brain dead after an accident has his organs donated

Posted: 06 Feb 2016 09:16 AM PST

Chinese doctor, Jin Junhua, 36, has been unconscious since he was hit by a drunk driver in January 2016. On Monday, doctors declared him brain dead.
Jin's wife, also a doctor, wanted to fulfill her husband's wish – he wanted to donate his organs after he died. So she has decided to donate Jin's heart, kidneys and liver to other patients.

His heart was transplanted on a 64-year-old woman who suffered from serious heart disease.

Jin's story has made him a hero in Chinese social media and many believe that what he did wasn't just an act of benevolence but has also helped to raise the public image of doctors.
According to CCTV, doctors in China have been subject to violence in recent years with patients often demanding quality service from doctors but many complain of poor services, leading to confrontations.
This has also led to a growing distrust toward hospitals.
