100-Year-Old Woman Sees Ocean for the First Time.

This is by far one of the best reactions we’ve ever seen. 100-year-old Ruby Holt spent her whole life rural Tennessee on a farm picking cotton and raising her children. She never had the time or money to see the ocean, but all this changed just shy of her 101st birthday. Thanks to Ruby’s assisted living center and an organization that grants wishes to the elderly, she was able to make the trip to the Gulf of Mexico and experience the ocean for the first time in her very long life. “I’ve heard people talk about it and how wonderful it was and wanted to see it, but I never had the opportunity to do so,” Ruby said.

Top 5 Dating Tips for Men and Women

After interviewing gurus that counsel both men and women on dating, we noticed something that was quite curious. Some of their dating advice was actually gender- neutral and could be applied to both sexes. As we see it, good advice is good advice. Here are the top five dating tips for both men and women: 1. Be open minded 2. Don’t research before a first date. You can “Google them” later 3. Don’t bring baggage. Avoid talking about past relationships 4. Be honest about yourself. Starting a relationship based on lies is never a good idea 5. Leave on a high note. Keep things short and sweet. Better to leave the other person wanting more

Emotions overflow, as ex-housemates depart.BBA 2014.

The housemates had been under severe tension, believing the exes, who had been watching their game, knew their weaknesses and were better prepared. Luclay added to the tension on Friday, when he lost his cool, claiming only one contestant was capable of beating him to the prize money. He had showered the housemates with insults after Biggie asked him to wear his microphone. The instruction triggered a primal rage that had clearly been lying dormant inside him, especially after his altercation with Goitse. He had everything to say about how the Hotshots were way out of their depth in the game. He said they lacked what it took to win the prize money. But when on Sunday, Biggie revealed to them that the exes were just a ploy, some of them were in tears. Tayo could not believe his fate as he sat down and wept. After Biggie told the housemates to unfreeze, Goitse stayed in her position and had tears run down her cheeks. Idris also stayed in his chair and did not mo

Buhari was in Bayelsa, asks voters to kick out PDP.

According to him Nigerians should either make a wise choice in the next election by voting the APC or remain in perpetual suffering. “If you want to know how much we have been suffering under the PDP since 1999, try and imagine what our condition was in 1999. We used to have Nigerian airways, we used to have Nigerian shipping lines, the roads were not too bad, even light itself was not too bad,” he said. He said under the watch of PDP, many industries had closed shops, leading to backwardness in industrialization. Buhari noted that the ruling party had shown total disrespect to democratic institutions and lack of political will to stop corruption. “What is wrong? What is wrong is massive corruption. If we don’t kill corruption in Nigeria, corruption will kill us,” he said, adding that corruption had made it impossible for the country to develop its potential. He recalled that under PDP many panels of inquiries were set up and people were indicted for corrupt

Lion blindsided by crocodile in river escapes

Lions might be the kings of the jungle, but crocodiles rule the river. At least most of the time. That wasn’t the case in a video shared by Kruger Sightings the other day. It shows a young lion crossing a river and getting blindsided by a crocodile. A woman in the background can be heard saying, “Oh my God; oh my God,” just before the inevitable. But it has a happy ending: A happy ending for the lion, that is. The crocodile’s next meal would have to wait. The footage was captured by a tourist while standing on the H10 bridge near the Lower Sabie River in the Kruger National Park in South Africa. “All we can say is, lions should always look both [ways] before crossing the river,” Kruger Sightings said on Facebook

Sting makes long-awaited WWE debut.

The former World Championship Wrestling icon interfered in the main event match featuring Team Cena and Team Authority and confronted Triple H. After an intense stare down, the 55- year-old laid out the WWE’s top villain with his patented “Scorpion Death Drop.” With WrestleMania 31  just five months away, all signs point to a match between two guys who both worked for WCW in 1994. Wrestling fans have been craving for a Sting match at WrestleMania — but with The Undertaker instead of Triple H. Problem is, there has been no mention of The Undertaker on WWE programming since his surprising loss at WrestleMania 30 to Brock Lesnar. The loss was The Undertaker's first at WrestleMania in 22 matches. With the "Dead Man" likely not in the picture anytime soon, the 13-time world champion will have to do. When WWE acquired WCW in 2001, many top wrestlers made the switch to the once-rival promotion. Sting decided not to work for Vince McMahon and he was a re

Why Obama won’t give the Ferguson speech his supporters want

President Obama's statement, delivered moments after St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch rendered the grand jury's verdict , was a plea for calm. It was steady and evenhanded. Obama recognized the fear and anger of both sides. He called for calm. He argued that the two sides here were, in a sense, one. "Nobody needs good policing more than poor communities with high crime rates," he said. And, in doing, he disappointed many who had hoped to hear something more impassioned, more outraged, from the president:

Ajumobi jet out to UK after thug killed policeman at APC rally

The Accord party in Oyo State has called for a high-powered investigation into the attack that led to the killing of a policeman and wounding of others after an attack by thugs at a rally of the All Progressives Congress in Ibadan on Friday. In a release signed by Prince Dotun Oyelade, Accord said that for a party that brandishes peaceful reign as its cardinal achievement in four years, the unprovoked killing of a policeman and random shooting to intimidate by hired thugs barely 12 weeks before the next election is a danger sign that must be stopped. The statement decried as awful and insensitive, the trip to the United Kingdom by Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State just hours after the state capital was thrown into panic by party members. “Under no circumstance should the Chief security officer of the state abdicate his major role and go on a leisure cruise abroad while Ibadan was literally burning,” Accord said in the statement.

STRAIGHTalk with Dr. Doyin Okupe

One major characteristic feature of a Representative Democracy is the ability of the government to be accountable to the citizens. Since elected public office holders assumed power through public votes, it becomes imperative of them to remain accountable to the public. However, Public Accountability in governing the affairs of people and management of public asset especially in Nigeria has remained questionable. Public Institutions such as, EFCC, ICPC and indeed Code of Conduct Bureau/Tribunal established to hold public office holders accountable to the electorates have become political machinery to whittle-down the power of oppositions. Notwithstanding all these, the present administration of President Goodluck Jonathan in Nigeria has consistently promised to be more accountable to the electorates.

APC says N' Assembly invasion, a coup

All Progressives Congress (APC) has said the police invasion of the National Assembly last week is the equivalent of a coup and called for an independent inquiry to determine who ordered the invasion and for what purpose, with a view to preventing a recurrence and also meting out the necessary punishment to those behind it. In a statement issued in Lagos on Tuesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said using weapons to attack an arm of government and preventing it from carrying out its functions are tantamount to a coup, adding that the tear gas that was fired into the National Assembly by an invading force of policemen is a chemical weapon. ''We are demanding the independent inquiry In view of the seriousness of the armed attack on the National Assembly and the danger it poses to our democracy.
