Miss P I'm in trouble please help me beg your readers to advice me. I'm 29 years old, unmarried sexy and have figure 8. The problem is my 55 year old mum remarried a very rich 70 year old Lagos business tycoon.I'm sure you read about him in the papers.
The moment he saw me, he fell inlove and has been spoiling me with gifts and cash.He says he wants to marry me and if I give him the go-ahead, he would dump my mum for me.To say the truth,I love him.He is everything all my younger boyfriends are not.
The thing is my mum at 55 and shouldn't be thinking of re-marrying.We lost my dad 5 years ago and should be mourning instead of marriage ..We fought because of it .She has noticed he has changed and is complaining to me and I'm tempted to tell her the truth
I almost told her until she said"If i catch any small girl with my man, I will kill her"".I know she is capable but I'm her daughter .
Miss Petite readers, please If I let him dump her for me will she kill me? Or should I ignore her and tell her.  Afterall she has lived her own life and maybe this man is my missing ribs
I'm waiting for your urgent response.Thanks

"I would wait for the right man even if it takes a 100 years"-Karen Igho

Posted: 14 Nov 2013 06:19 AM PST

"You know I can go on twitter and say I'm lonely, or pick up my phone and make calls and men will arrive, but I don't want that. I want a connection. I want to be in love, I don't want to fall for someone because he is a star or because of what he has. I want to fall in love with you because of who you are. Some men come and try to entice me with materials things. You don't have to be rich to win my world. I would wait for the right man even if it takes a hundred years, after all they say God's time is the best.""
Karen Igho said in a recent interview.....

Woman who turned down older man's offer of marriage is stunned after he sends her £115,000 itemised bill for everything he's ever spent on her

Posted: 14 Nov 2013 06:06 AM PST

A woman who turned down a marriage proposal from a well-to-do suitor was shocked when he handed a bill of more than £115,000 for everything he claims to have spent on her.
Single mother Marie Lacombe, 42, from Melbourne, Australia, says she and 65-year-old Bruce Dusting were never romantically involved.
But it seems he felt differently about their relationship, claiming she led him on to extract money from him to fund Zumba classes, shopping trips and even cosmetic surgery.

Messy: Marie Lacombe, left, 42, who was handed a AU$200,000 bill by Bruce Dusting after she turned down his marriage proposal. He says she led him on but she insists that the pair were never more than good friends

A tearful Mr Dusting told Nine Network's A Current Affair: 'This Marie has just destroyed every thought of humanity that I've had for other people.'
Ms Lacombe met Mr Dusting four years ago when she began teaching him dance. The pair became good friends, with Mr Dusting taking her for dinner and visiting her home regularly.

Fully itemised: Mr Dusting claims he loaned Ms Lacombe money to pay for things including Zumba classes, shopping trips, dental appointments, tupperware, birthday parties and even a tummy tuck and breast implants

Ms Lacombe said things 'took a turn for the worse' after rejecting the proposal from Mr Dusting

Mr Dusting says the payments - of which he has kept careful records and include things like dental appointments, tupperware and even birthday parties for her children - were all loans.
And he accuses her of playing on his emotions to get more cash out of him. On one occasion, he claims, she asked him to lend her money she needed for emergency surgery.
But when he went to visit her in the hospital, he found that she had got breast implants and a tummy tuck.
Ms Lacombe tells a different story. She insists that despite one loan of AU$25,000 (£14,580), the rest was given to her out of kindness.
She says much of the money he has asked her to return paid for unsolicited gifts, and she flatly denies asking him for the money for her cosmetic surgery.
Furthermore, she says that she worked as his office assistant for four years and never received a penny for her time.
'At the end of the day things took a turn for the worse when I said no to getting married to him,' she said. She believes his billing her for the money is his way of getting revenge for the rejection.
Broken hearted: Mr Dusting met Ms Lacombe when she was his dance teacher. Now, he says, due to the stress and upset that she has caused him, he can never dance again

Whatever the truth, it is clear that Mr Dusting has been deeply hurt by what's happened. He says that, because of all the stress it's caused, he will never dance again.
'I've probably still got the ability within, physically. Mentally I still have the ability,' he said.
'But, emotionally, it's just not there any more.'



What you didn't know about 9ice, his twins and babymama

Posted: 14 Nov 2013 06:02 AM PST

When an Abuja based woman Victoria Olubukola Goddis welcomed a set of twins in 2011, Singer 9ice denied that the twins were his.
Well, the "Gongo Aso" crooner has apologized to Bukola and has decided to take full responsibility of their needs - he's now proud to show the twins.
He says they are 'one of his reasons to live another day on earth'.
'I still spoke with the twins yesterday morning. Last week I think I still spoke to Zion (his son with separated wife Toni Payne), he's doing well and he is in America right now', 9ice when asked about spending time with his family, revealed in a recent interview.
9ice actually had the set of twins shortly after his marriage to Toni Payne packed up a few years ago. See more photos below

Oh, in case you didn't know, 9ice has decided to go back to school and pursue his career as a lawyer.

Dear OBB men, how many of you agree with what Akon said?

Posted: 14 Nov 2013 05:51 AM PST

Akon who is a known polygamist said in a recent interview that monogamy is not only 'stupid'; it's 'impossible.' Read what he said below and tell us if you agree with him..
"The average guy in the world has a main girl and they got a side chick. And then they got a jumpoff. At the end of the day as a male we are natural breeders by nature. We can't even escape it if we wanted to. 
Let's say you put 1,000 guys on one corner and one bad chick walk passed. You gon' see 1,000 heads go, 'Damn.' They don't even know why they doing it. They're natural breeders. It's in their genes, they can't help it. Men are put on this earth to breed and the reason why God put multiple women on this earth is for that. 
People are having relationships, boyfriend and girlfriend, and treating it like it's actually marriage. You're just dating.  
The whole purpose of dating is so you can date this one, and date this one, and date this one until you find out, 'Okay, this is the person I want to spend the rest of my life with. Okay now, I commit to what's called marriage.'  
You find that one woman that supplies everything that you desire in a woman, of course that will be a motivation to stick with that one woman, but I don't know no one woman that can satisfy every man's one need. It's impossible. Just like there's no man that can satisfy a woman's every need. Women just aren't built to breed like that or… mate with more than one partner. Women aren't built that way, men are."

Woman, husband and lover living in same house happily with kids! WHAT!

 Loved up: Paul, left, Maria and Peter
Loved up: Paul, left, Maria and Peter

Recently it was a Kenyan man who on mutual agreement married the same woman. Now another one has happened but in America. Someone said probably the world is actually coming to an end. Read the story.
UK MIRROR
"People might think it's weird but I love both men and couldn't choose between them," says mum-of-two.

When mum-of-two Maria Butzki left her husband Paul for another man, she didn't realise how much she'd miss him.

At the same time, she couldn't imagine living without her new lover Peter Gruman.
So when the two men struck up an extraordinary friendship, she came up with the perfect solution… and moved Peter into the family home in Barking, East London.
Now Maria, 33, Paul, 37, their two ­children, Laura, 16, and Amy, 12, and Peter, 36, live as one big happy family.
"People might think it's weird but I love both men and couldn't choose between them," says Maria, a ­housing liaison officer.
"When I left Paul there was a huge hole in my life. But the thought of never seeing Peter again was heartbreaking. So living with both men is the only way."
Incredibly, the men agree. Paul, a railway assessor, says: "Peter is a great guy. When Maria first had the affair with him I was just heartbroken. But as I got to know him, I realised we have so much in common. We both adore fishing, and he's like a surrogate dad to the kids."
Peter, a construction site manager, adds: "We all get on so well. It doesn't feel as if I'm ­sharing Maria. There's no ­jealousy …it feels as if we area team."
High five: One big happy family
High five: One big happy family
It was last year that they all moved in ­together after three years of ­Maria to-ing and fro-ing between her husband and lover. Peter sleeps on the sofa while Paul has a room ­upstairs. Maria shares a bedroom with her eldest daughter.
She says: "The three of us never share a bed. Although I have a sexual relationship with each man, that side is kept very private. If Paul is out, then Peter and I might make love, and vice-versa. But both men turn a blind eye and we never discuss it with one another."
Maria was 15 when she and Paul met at school. After dating for two years, she unexpectedly became pregnant. Paul proposed seven months into her term and a month later they ­married. Four years after the birth of Laura, Maria had their second daughter Amy. But in 2006 their marriage hit a rocky patch.
Maria says: "Paul was out of work for six months and it put a strain on our ­relationship. The stress led to less sex and we grew apart. Although we carried on with life – cooking, cleaning, looking after the child­ren – we'd lost our intimacy. The relationship was more brother and sister than a couple."
Around the same time a new manager, Peter, started at Maria's workplace.
"Someone introduced me to Peter and when we smiled at one another, I could feel the chemistry straight away," she says. "Until that moment, I'd been happily married for 13 years to my childhood sweetheart and had never thought about being with another man."
Peter, who was also married at the time, recalls the same instant attraction. "It was like a bolt from the blue… love at first sight," he says.
Soon the pair were meeting secretly. "We'd meet at the local pub for lunch," says Maria. "One day he put a hand on my leg and my whole body began trembling with desire. I knew it was wrong but soon we were sleeping together."
Their affair carried on for a year before Paul stumbled on messages between them on Maria's phone. She managed to convince him they were just friends. But a few months later her lover left his wife and moved from Luton, Beds, to be closer to Maria in Barking.
"I grew even closer to Peter," says Maria. "Paul had to go away on business for a few weeks and so Peter took the children shopping, ­spoiling them rotten with gifts."
But on Valentine's Day in 2010, Maria says she could no longer cope with the secrecy. "I began to feel more and more that my future lay with Peter," she says. "So I confessed my affair to Paul, and moved out to stay with Peter."
Paul and the children were devastated. He says: "I was just shocked and heartbroken. I couldn't believe Maria had left me."
Over the next few months Paul and Maria took turns to have the children. "I felt bad about tearing the family apart," says Maria. "So after work I'd go and clean and cook for Paul and the kids and then go home to Peter."

Happy: Paul and Maria on their wedding day
Paul says: "While I was so upset, I decided to try to put the children first. It was going to be much better if we could all be mature adults and be amicable about it. I could see Peter was a decent guy. When the kids went to stay over I knew he was putting himself out to make sure they were happy. I'd go to pick them up and we got chatting." Over the next year their relationship became even more amicable. Maria says: "Rather than cook two separate dinners, it was easier to just do one and all sit down together. Paul and Peter got on so well they went on a fishing trip together. We even started going on days out and holidays together.
"It was strange but I noticed I felt at my happiest when we were all together. The children adored having both of them around too."
Then in November 2012 the tenancy on Peter's rented flat came to an end. He went to stay with a friend and Maria moved back to the family home. Maria says: "It was supposed to be a temporary arrangement but while I missed Peter terribly, it was fantastic to be back as a family."
When Peter found another flat, Maria decided it was time to sit both men down and be honest with them. "I said I loved them both," she says. "I said I couldn't face living without either of them."
To her delight, both men said they understood.
Peter says: "By now Paul and I had developed a huge respect for each other. We didn't see one another as rivals for Maria's affections. We were friends who got on well. At the same time I'd come to care so much for the children. It seemed natural to live together."
Paul says: "Maria was and still is my soulmate."
The "family" are now in the process of buying a larger house to accommodate them all.
Maria admits many friends and family find the arrangement difficult to understand.
"Some people are shocked, mostly because they get the wrong idea and think it's some sort of threesome," she says. "Most people seem to think I should just remain with Paul, but those who see all of us ­together think differently." She adds: "There are huge benefits to living together. For example, as Paul and I leave for work early, Peter is often able to take the children to school.
"Ultimately the children benefit from three adults able to help with school work or give them lifts. Financially too, it makes sense as the bills are split three ways."
Ironically, Maria is now the one who sometimes gets jealous. "I'm left on my own when the pair of them go on a long fishing trip," she says.
Gone fishing: Pals Peter and Paul
Gone fishing: Pals Peter and Paul
She's unsure what the sleeping arrangements will be in their new house. "But we would never have any sort of rota where I sleep with Peter one night and Paul the next. I do know I'm very lucky to have two wonderful men in my life." What do you think about this story?

The Kogi Sector Command of the Federal Road Safety Commission has blamed the auto crash that led to the death, on Tuesday, of Prof. Festus Iyayi, on wrongful overtaking by a vehicle in the convoy of Kogi state governor, Idris Wada. The News Agency of Nigeria quoted the Kogi State Sector Commander of the FRSC, Olakunle Motajo, as saying preliminary report by his commission suggested the accident was caused by a Toyota Hilux bus in Wada's convoy.

The vehicle, Motajo said, made "wrongful overtaking", ramming into another Toyota Hiace bus belonging to the UNIBEN ASUU chapter, in which Iyayi and two others were travelling in the opposite direction.
Some residents of Banda community, who witnessed the accident, said the two vehicles collided and the ASUU bus somersaulted three times before hitting a big tree in the bush.
Mr. Iyayi died instantly while two others, including a woman, who sustained fracture in her left arm, were injured. The driver of the bus escaped unhurt, Motajo said.

LASUTH produces first Nigerian female Consultant Urologist

Dr. Abolarinwa Abimbola
Dr. Abolarinwa Abimbola is a Urologist in the Department of Surgery of the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, (LASUTH) Ikeja. She is a promising young doctor with a strong desire to get to the pinnacle of her career. She is the first female Consultant Urologic Surgeon (Urologist) in Nigeria. Without saying much, let's get to meet her in this interview.

Crowny : Congratulations on your success in the part II Fellowship examination
Dr. Abolarinwa: Thank you very much
Crowny: Can we know what university you graduated from?

Dr. Abolarinwa: College of Medicine, University of Ibadan

Crowny: When did you pass your Part II Fellowship Examination?

Dr. Abolarinwa: 25th of October, 2013

Crowny: How long have you been in the residency?

Dr. Abolarinwa: 5 years

Crowny: What were the challenges you faced during your residency given that your gender is rare in the field of urology, especially in Nigeria?

Dr. Abolarinwa: Surprisingly, the male patients were very receptive. I consciously made friends with their wives and children so that I can get compliance with their treatment and abolish undue familiarity. The female patients and children were happy to see me. The few patients who were sceptical  eventually warmed up to me. I faced more resistance from male surgical colleagues, not...(stressing) the male patients. In fact, some of my male surgical trainers did not understand what I was doing there.

Crowny: What do you think is the factor surrounding the scarce female gender in the field?

Dr. Abolarinwa: There is this false assumption that urology is concerned with only the male and his genitals! That drives women away. Urology is also very demanding and wide. Not too favourable for family life per se. They also tend to fear rejection from dominant male patients.

Crowny: How do you feel being the Nigeria's first female Consultant Urologist?

Dr. Abolarinwa: I feel great; but mostly humbled. When I started it, it was not my intention to pioneer the field. It is a blessing to conclude what I started and even with such recognition.

Crowny: What do you for relaxation besides your busy schedule as a surgeon?

Dr. Abolarinwa: (smiles) Sleep... In fact, I am still in deficit. I also read novels, cook, do some sewing and knitting, watch African Magic Yoruba and play with my children... serious play o!

Crowny: What is your advice to young aspiring female doctors who want to specialise in urology?

Dr. Abolarinwa: They must have genuine interest. It is a 'doable' speciality for a woman. They must also dismiss all fears and superstitions. Have good support system for family. It is also lucrative, so think about it (smiles).

Crowny: Congratulations once more

Dr. Abolarinwa: Thank you very much.
