Nollywood actor, Ramsey Noah has revealed that his children suffer a lot of backlash because of his profession as an actor. According to hi...
The actress made the affirmative disclosure in a recent interview with SunNews. She said most of her colleague’s marriages are breaking up because they are arrogant and unfaithful to their spouses.
“Most of these celebrities never wanted marriage, they just wanted to try and see if the society would accept them. When they are with their spouses, they would keep other men in different places to satisfy themselves.
They are always with one Senator or the other, or attending one society party or the other. After seeing and mingling with all those big men, they get home and their husband says one thing, they respond with one thousand things because they are not seeing the sexiness in him again. We need to retrace our steps,” she added.
On the issue of domestic violence, the mother of two said: “Women should generally learn how to be submissive to their husbands. The feminist and ego raves have taken over the industry. Every woman wants to be a man and be in charge.
Your husband raises his hand on you, for nothing? No! He can’t. He is not a beast. Tell us, what did you do? Already you are an actress, so your husband always have it in mind that you have tendencies to cheat, so he is always on the look out. So, you have to be careful.”

The ace actress recently opened up on some aspects of her teenage years. While speaking recently at Harvesters International Christian Centre, Gbagada, Lagos, Doyle revealed that her family members, including her mother, were hard on her when she got pregnant at the age of 17.
Her words: “You have to surround yourself with people who love and support you. I was blessed to have people around me; unfortunately these people are not family members. My mother didn’t take it lightly with me.
I wouldn’t have handled it the way she did because I belong to a different generation. I was nurtured by people I met and they constantly reminded me that my life didn’t end with that bad situation.
Impacting young girls is very important to me. If you ask me what my ministry is, I would say reaching out to young girls. One of the things I used to say to God then was that if He straightened this journey for me, I would be like a big sister to young girls.”
To overcome the stigma of early teenage pregnancy, she had to do certain things. While admitting that the situation affected her hugely, she said that she chose her friends very carefully; friends who were young ladies who had done well and had vision for themselves.
“I felt I still remained who I was.
I came from a very good home, not by wealth but value. Education was not negotiable in my family. I didn’t want that one mistake to define who I was. But it was quite difficult for me because it was the talk of the town for quite a number of years,” she said.
She urged young girls who have experienced similar situations to remember to keep their dreams alive and go back to school after having their babies. For her, it is not about how many mistakes you make or times you fell; it is about how many times you get up.
“If there is anyone in your life who constantly reminds you of the mistake, you should define the relationship even if it means your parents. If your brother or father cannot encourage you, there is a problem because that is where our love is supposed to begin” She concluded.

U.S. President Donald Trump said he wouldn’t want a poor person in charge of the economy, as he defended his cabinet, which is thought to be the wealthiest in the country’s history.
“Somebody said, ‘Why did you appoint a rich person to be in charge of the economy?’” he told supporters at rally in Iowa. “So I said …because that’s the kind of thinking we want… because they’re representing the country.”
Making a particular reference to Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, a billionaire former investor, Trump said:, “They don’t want the money. And they had to give up a lot to take up these jobs.”
Trump, himself a billionaire, went on to refer to Gary Cohn, his chief economic advisor. “This is the president of Goldman Sachs. Smart. Having him represent us, he went from massive paydays to peanuts, to little tiny … I’m waiting for them to accuse him of wanting that little amount of money.
“These are people that are great, brilliant business minds, and that’s what we need, that’s what we have to have so the world doesn’t take advantage of us. We can’t have the world taking advantage of us any more.
And I love all people, rich or poor, but in those particular positions I just don’t want a poor person. Does that make sense? If you insist I’ll do it but I like it better this way, right?”
.
Trump’s Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos is also a billionaire heiress, while Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, the former boss of oil giant Exxon, is thought to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Other rich appointees include Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, a former hedge fund manager, and Housing Secretary Ben Carson, who made his fortune selling books on his career in medicine and his political ideas.

It’s no secret that diet plays a huge role in your heart health…
Food is what turned around my hypertension when the doctors couldn’t.
So eating foods like fatty fish, berries and nuts, for example, keep your heart healthy and strong. Sweets, refined carbs and processed meats, on the other hand, take a major toll on your ticker.
But when it comes to maintaining a healthy heart, it’s not just about what you eat, it’s about when you eat it…
Strangely enough, mounting evidence suggests poor meal timing could sabotage your heart health just as much as poor food choices.
That means your challenge — if you choose to accept it — is to learn how to optimize your daily meals and snacks for a healthy heart…
Now is the time for a healthy heart
If you’re like most people you probably haven’t given much thought to when you eat your meals and snacks. You eat when you’re hungry or follow what you’ve been taught traditionally… breakfast by 9am, lunch around noon and supper at 6pm.
And you figure, as long as you choose healthy food that should be enough, right?
Well, the latest information published by the American Heart Association suggests that if you want to prevent heart attacks, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases you may need to take your dietary planning to the next level…
That means that now, in addition to making a carefully-planned grocery list that includes heart-healthy foods like whole-grains, nuts, fish and vegetables, you also need to consider:
How many meals you’re eating (Are you eating three well-balanced meals every day? Or are you a notorious breakfast or lunch-skipper?)
What time of day you tend to eat (Are you and early-bird eater or a late-night snacker?)
Whether you eat at the same times every day like clockwork…or whether your eating patterns are sporadic, at best.
Whether you’re a fan of fasting… or not so much.
These easily overlooked factors have a surprising impact on your heart and overall health. Skipping breakfast, for example, is a major heart-health no-no…
Apparently people who eat breakfast daily have lower blood pressure and cholesterol. People who don’t eat breakfast, on the other hand, are more likely to be obese, have worse glucose metabolism and to develop diabetes — all of which are risk factors for heart disease.
Research also shows that eating meals or snacks close to bedtime leads to weight gain… even if you skipped meals earlier in the day.
In fact, there is a school of thought (and research) that says eating all your meals by 2 p.m. (which I know sounds extreme) can give your metabolism a major boost. According to researchers, the benefits of earlier eating are due to the fact that your body has more time to metabolize your food.
The American Heart Association’s statement also mentioned that sticking to a regular eating schedule is better for your heart health than a fly-by-night approach to eating, and that intermittent fasting (one to two times per week) can help with weight loss and potentially prevent obesity — another major risk factor for heart disease. Fasting has also been shown to lower blood triglycerides, blood sugar and insulin resistance. And occasional fasting can even improve your immunity and help you live longer.
Timing your meals for optimum heart health
I know the AHA’s dietary guidelines are a lot to digest, so here’s a quick breakdown of the basic food timing rules you need to follow to keep your heart running smoothly for years to come:
Always eat a healthy breakfast. My new favorite is overnight chia breakfast pudding.
Eat three meals a day before 7 p.m. (or 2 p.m. if you’re really committed to the cause)
Try to eat your meals around the same time every day.
Give fasting a try. It may sound extreme, but there are different methods of fasting out there… maybe one would work for you.

Acting President Yemi Osinbajo has warned that the Federal Government will no longer condone any threat to Nigeria’s unity by individuals, groups or sections of the country.
He vowed that security agencies will fish out those who continue to threaten the sovereignty of Nigeria or lives and livelihoods of other Nigerians living in any part of the country.
Osinbajo declared the government’s position on Tuesday at a meeting with traditional rulers from the northern states as part of his consultations with Nigerian leaders to douse the growing ethnic tensions across the nation.
The tension reached a climax a fortnight ago when some northern youths issued a three-month quit notice to Igbos living in the region following a sit-at-home exercise called by pro-Biafra secessionists on May 30, 2017 to mark 50 years of the struggle for the Republic of Biafra in the South East.
The Acting President acknowledged that there were frustrations and grievances by Nigerians, but cautioned that they should not degenerate into the type of crisis prevailing in the country.
He therefore called on the royal fathers to advise their subjects appropriately while the government creates a congenial environment for every ethnic or religious group to thrive.
Osinbajo said: “In all our previous engagements with Northern and South Eastern leaders, we all came to the consensus that Nigeria is stronger and better together, and that these hate-filled and divisive rhetoric and agitations are unjustifiable, unacceptable and illegal.”
“Nigeria has seen enough violence and bloodshed in its history; the price of our unity has already been paid in the blood and lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians.”
“As royal fathers and leaders, I think you will agree with me that we all have a role to play in countering the voices of divisiveness, and the elements who seek to take us down a bloody path.”
“Let us continue to counsel the misguided elements among our youths, who think that ethnic confrontation is a game and that words can be thrown around carelessly without repercussion.”
“Having said this, let me declare that we are not deaf to the legitimate concerns and frustrations arising from around the country. Every part of Nigeria has its own grievances. But these have to be expressed graciously and managed with mutuality rather than with scorn and disdain.”
“I will like to assure you all that we are here to listen and to answer, and, very importantly, to reassure everyone that we are committed to the unity of Nigeria, and that upon the foundation of that unity we can together build a prosperous and great country”.
The Acting President also told the northern leaders that, “we must never take our diversity for granted; the fullness of our strength actually lies in that diversity. And we must wield that diversity, not as a divisive tool, but instead as a binding agent.”
“As we round up these consultations tomorrow (Wednesday) with a meeting with governors, it is clear to me that we are all resolved to by words, conduct and action, promote the unity of our dear nation.”
Osinbajo said that the government would ensure that the entire apparatus of government is deployed to ensure that no one threatens Nigeria’s territorial integrity, the lives or livelihoods of any Nigerian living anywhere in the federation.
“Our objective is to provide the environment for a prosperous nation, a nation where all regardless of ethnicity or religion can pursue their legitimate aspirations peacefully and securely.”
The meeting was attended by the representative of the Senate President, Ibn N’Allah, who is also the Deputy Senate Leader; the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Yakubu Dogara; the Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari; the Minister of Science and Technology, Dr. Ogbonaya Onu; the Minister of the Interior, Abdulrahman Danbazzau; the National Security Adviser (NSA), Babagana Munguno and the Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Gabriel Olonishakin.
The traditional rulers who were led by the Sultan of Sokoto, Abubakar Sa’ad, included Dr. Yahaya Abubakar, the Etsu Nupe from Niger State. the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II; Ibrahim Sulu Gambari, the Emir of Ilorin; Alhaji Mustapha Agwai II, the Emir of Lafia; Jacob Buba Jang, the Gbong Gwon Jos.
Others were Ndakwo Ameh Oboni II, the Attah Igala; Prof. James Ayatse, the Tor Tiv; Adamu Buba Baba Yinusa, the Emir of Abaji, FCT; Alhaji Muhammed Isah Muhammed, the Emir of Jama’a in Kaduna State; and Justice Lawal Hassan, the Emir of Gumi and Coordinator of the Northern Traditional Rulers’ Council.
