Couple Finally Dies Same Day After 61 Years Of Marriage (Photo)

For 61 years, a Northland couple lived happily ever after together. The pair were inseparable.
Even in death. Peter and Ruth Bedford both died on Monday, May 14, nine hours apart from each other, one year past their 60th anniversary.

"It's good they went together," daughter Caroline Bedford said. "They would have been completely lost without each other."

Bedford said her father was admitted to hospital on Saturday evening.

"I think Mum decided he wasn't coming back," she said.

"She died at 10am on Monday morning and I got a message to Dad. He followed her about nine hours later," she said.

Peter and Ruth Bedford, 86 and 83, were married on December 30, 1957.

Peter had emigrated to New Zealand, as a "10 pound pom", where he fell in love with Ruth, from Wellington.

He was a rural man and a deep thinker, she eventually became a law clerk. But the pair were perfect for each other, Bedford said.

The couple loved tramping together, music, and going to concerts.

"Mum had a philosophical, intellectual brain and she loved to debate. And Dad was a big thinker too."

"They loved animals and they loved their garden," Caroline Bedford said. "They should have entered them into competition they were so good."

The couple were well known in the Kaikohe community where they had lived since 1980, and were heavily involved in the A&P Show.

Before then, the Bedford family had been raised in rural Manawatu. Caroline remembered growing up with sheep, cows, horses, possums, magpies, white rats, cats and a dog.

"They were very rural people. Well, Dad was. Mum liked the arts and socialising," she said.

"They were both fiercely independent. But very kind and helpful, especially in their community.

The couple are survived by their three children Michael, Simon and Caroline, and two grandchildren.

"They were very proud of their children and their grandchildren, I know that," she said.

Caroline said her daughter Cadence, 31, had said: "My Grandad didn't speak much, but when he spoke people listened."

Their funeral is on Wednesday at Squire Funeral Services in Kaikohe.

Nigerian Artistes That Turned Their F*ck-Ups Into Accolades (Photos)

According to Tooexclusive. Sometimes things don’t work out how you expect them to and no one knows this more than artistes. From break ups to grammatical blunders, the challenges come but the true test of character is in their ability to make the best of the situation.

Below are five (5) famous Nigerian artistes who succeeded in turning their blooper moments into rounds of applause.

1. Seyi Shay – Starting off the list is none other than the Electric Package herself. After infamously saying that an “EP” means electric package in an interview on HipTV, Seyi became the troll target of Nigerian social media. Although she took hit after hit, the musician did not allow the jesting to get to her. What did she do? She came out with a remarkable extended play and guess what she called it? Yep! Electric Package. I can’t think of many better ways to turn around misfortune than that.

2. Burna Boy – Oluwaburna is no stranger to controversy but what he seems to be more familiar with, however, is thriving from them. Following his alleged assault and robbery of fellow artiste, Mr. 2Kay, Burna Boy released one of his strongest bodies of work yet and garnered international recognition. The Heaven’s Gate singer could have been held back by his troubles with the law, but instead, he spinned the situation around nicely and hit his stride.

3. Davido – OBO as he calls himself is actually a Starboy when it comes to turning controversy around for good. From the whole Tagbo incident to his beef with Wizzy and the debt allegation leveled against, Davido is never too far from controversy but he continues to rise above the ashes of his many challenges. The ‘billionaire’ singer has faced enough controversies to make him pack his tools and call it quits but he has mastered the art of making sweet success out of life’s incidents.

4. Olamide – Before people started feeling some type of way about it, Science Student by Olamide was on its way to becoming the anthem of the Shaku Shaku epoch. A number of tweets by online activists later, people started to call Olamide out for promoting drug use among the youth and asking for the song to be banned. An obvious P.R. nightmare, Olamide did not allow the backlash to get to him. What did he do? He turned it out around and started a campaign to educated the youth on the effects of drugs in their system. Using a press run and a Micheal Jackson tribute music video as his strategy, Olamide was able to get the public to let go of his neck which they had earlier threatened to yank off. Now, everyone has moved on and are jamming to ‘Kosewe Kosegbo’ in peace.

5. Skales – Perhaps no other Nigerian celebrity has been a regular victim of trolling as much as Skales. Way before trolls used to haunt him on social media, Skales was signed along Starboy to a record label called EME and after a while, he got dropped. Everyone thought Skales’ career was over  but the resilient artiste rose up like a phoenix from the ashes with the super hit, Shake Body. His career continued to soar and reach new milestones after that, proving that it really is never over until you stop fighting.

I Was Asked To Quit Music, That's Why I Stop Visiting My Family - Mr Real Opens Up

Street hop crooner ‘Legbegbe’ Mr. Real, has told Saturday Beats that the road to stardom has not been rosy. He revealed that his family members advised him against pursuing a career in music.
He said, “I have been doing music for over 10 years now. But you know in life when it is not your time, there is nothing you can do about it. All this while, I have been working and waiting on God for a breakthrough.

Once God says it is your time to shine, no man on earth can stop you from shining. Before my song, ‘Legbegbe,’ I was only doing free shows. But it is a different story now.

“There was no time I thought of leaving music despite the pressure I was getting from my family members then. For me, music is part of my existence as a human and there is nothing else I can do better than music.

When I was not making money from music and things looked stagnant, my father wanted me to try other things. It was a serious issue at home. I cannot blame my father because he wanted the best for me; I am his first child.

But I insisted that it was music or nothing. It was not easy to stay focused as I got frustrated by my family members. At a time, I stopped visiting family members because they were always advising me to find something better.

To them, I was wasting my time and it was high time I tried other things. I felt it was better I stop visiting because I didn’t want to leave music.”

Sadly, his father died last year and could not witness the success his son had achieved through his music career. The singer said that it was one of the regrets he has had to live with in life.

“My father is no more; he died last year. I feel bad that he is not alive to see my growth in the music industry, but I am certain he would be happy for me. My mother died years ago too. But I have six younger siblings to look after.

Though my parents are dead, other family members, who wanted me to quit music, can at least see that my consistency has finally paid off. Once you believe in yourself, the sky is your limit and nothing can stop you,” he said.

Photos From Meghan Markle & Prince Harry's Wedding

Meghan Markle and prince harry are now married. Meghan walked down the aisle of the 15th Century chapel in Windsor Castle where she married Prince Harry in a dazzling display of British pomp and pageantry.

After entering St George’s Chapel unescorted, Markle she made her way towards the Quire, halfway down the church where Prince Charles walked her to his son, Harry.

White roses, favourite flowers of Harry’s late mother Princess Diana, adorned the chapel. Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland, 61, appeared tearful.

Prince Harry, dressed in a military frock coat uniform, and his brother, best man Prince William, waited for Markle at the altar.

Tens of thousands of fans lined the route Markle took towards the castle, waving British flags and cheering as the Rolls-Royce limousine drove past with the bride and her mother.

Air traffic controllers for the nearby Heathrow Airport, one of the world’s busiest, said the air space over Windsor was being closed for 15 minutes before the ceremony.

Hours before, Queen Elizabeth bestowed the title of Duke of Sussex on her grandson, a step that means the American actress, star of the TV drama “Suits”, automatically becomes a duchess. More photos from the wedding below..

Nigeria Pharmacists Council Starts Recall Of Codeine Cough Syrup

The Nigeria Pharmacists Council has started recalling cough syrups containing codeine from its stakeholders in compliance with Federal Government directive.
The Registrar of PCN, Elijah Mohammed, revealed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) today in Abuja.

NAN recalls that the Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole, had directed PCN, NAFDAC and other regulatory bodies to supervise the recall of codeine from the market.

Mohammed reaffirmed that codeine is an opioid drug similar to morphine which has been approved and accessed over the counter in low doses for relieving patients of symptoms associated with a dry cough.

According to the registrar, codeine in such preparation, usually in smaller doses, serves as a cough suppressant and relieves pain associated with the stress of coughing.

“However, due to its inherent properties when used in high doses over a long period, it has been associated with dependence and powerful addictive propensity especially when used for recreational purpose,’’ the registrar said.

Mohammed noted that the council in view of the ministerial directive has carried out enforcement exercise in Ogun, Sokoto and Nasarawa States, adding that same activity is currently going on in Adamawa.

The registrar noted that the council has met with the leadership of the National Association of Patent and Proprietary Medicines Vendors (PPNVs), among other stakeholders, in the pharmaceutical industry in order to facilitate the recall.

Mohammed, who emphasised that Codeine-containing cough preparation was not included in the approved medicines list of PPMVs, however, urged them to desist from the sales of codeine and other unethical drugs in order to guard against sanctions.

New Law: Sharing Fake News In Kenya Now A Crime

Kenyan President, Uhuru Kenyatta has signed the controversial Computer and Cyber-Crimes Bill 2018 into law.

The Act – which spells out stiff punishment to cybercriminals – provides for timely and effective detection, prohibition, prevention, response, investigation and prosecution of computer and cybercrimes.

It deals with offences relating to computer systems including but not limited to unauthorised access, unauthorised interference, unauthorised interception, unauthorised disclosure of passwords, cyber espionage, false publications, child pornography, cyber terrorism and wrongful distribution of obscene or intimate images.

Following the passing of the Bill, generating and spreading fake news on social media could now land you in jail for at least five years, or leave you with millions of shillings to pay in court fines.


WhatsApp group administrators who condone sharing of fake news or information meant to incite ethnic hatred are also marked for severe punishment.

The Computer and Cyber Crimes Bill, 2018 sought to provide a framework that will prevent and control the threat of cyber crimes and other offences committed by means of computer systems.

One such crime is drafting, publishing and spreading false information, popularly known as “fake news.” The bill, tabled in the House by Majority Leader Aden Duale, proposed a Ksh.5 million fine or two years imprisonment for those found guilty of spreading fake news.

“Fake news is an offence under this bill, even when you receive fake news and forward it to another person, that’s an offence in this bill,” Duale had said.

Cultists Reveals The Consequences of Putting on His Red Regalia

A member of the Eiye Confraternity, Azeez Idris, paraded by the Lagos State Police Command alongside 15 others, allegedly said whenever he puts on his red regalia it means that somebody must be killed.

The state Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, during the parade said Azeez Idris, as the leader of the Eiye Confraternity in Ilasan, confessed to the killing of many citizens in that location.

“He told the police that once he puts on his red regalia it means that somebody must be killed.


I haven’t killed anyone since I was initiated in 2016

But the suspect denied, saying: “I am a member of Eiye cult confraternity. I was initiated in 2016 by a friend called Honey.

Since I became a member of the cult, I haven’t killed anyone. The clothes I wore while sleeping is what the police alleged is the cult uniform. “I have gone to prison before for a related offence.

I was in Kirikiri for over three months before I was released. Because the police officer knows my house that is why they came to my house to arrest me. “The police officer said we were the ones terrorizing the community. I am not the leader of the gang. The current leader of the gang, Jide, is serving a jail term, while the founding leader is Andrew.

“Members of the gang usually contribute money to assist each other. The weapons recovered by the police were found in Andrew’s house. He said he is using the weapons at the site. He was the gang leader in the previous administration before Jide, who is now in prison, took over. Another member of the gang paraded, Andrew Awalebi, popularly called Flying Bird, confessed that he was initiated into the group in 1990 by one Efrebor.

He confessed to being a two-time ex-convict and had at one time been charged to Ebute-Meta Magistrate’s Court as a result of inter-cult clashes in Ajah/Lekki areas in which many lives were lost.

“I was a cultist before now but I am no longer a cultist. I was arrested in my house. I have been arrested for cult related activities.” Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, said nine of the cultists, who have made life a nightmare for the inhabitants of Jakande Estate and Lekki area of Lagos State, were arrested on May 9, at Jakande Estate, Lekki, Lagos based on their mission to attack rival cult group.

Weapon recovered from the suspects include a locally made single barrel pistol, two battle axe, two daggers, one cutlass, charms and a pair of red regalia. The other cultists were nabbed in Ketu area of Lagos. CP Edgal Imohimi noted that the suspects will be charged to court at the end of the investigation.
