LAWYER SUES BUHARI OVER CERTIFICATE.

With the various uproar about the result of the All Progressives Congress’ presidential canadidate, Rtd. Gen Mohammad Buhari, there is a new turn of event. The punch reports that a legal practitioner, Mr. Chukwunweike Okafor, has sought the face of the Federal High Court in Abuja yesterday. This he did in order to apply for suit, saying that the APC presidential candidate does not have the necessary educational qualification required to be part of the presidential candidates for the February 14 presidential election. READ ALSO: SEE What Buhari’s Daughter Caused On Twitter Yesterday Okafor, who is the plaintiff makes it known that, “the information contained in Buhari’s affidavit dated November 24, 2014, stating that the Secretary of the Military Board was in custody of his WASSC was false and thereby disqualified him from contesting the 2015 general elections.” The legal practitioner is therefore “compelling INEC to withdraw, remove and/or delete the names of the 1st and 2nd defendants from the list of persons or political parties eligible to contest for the Office of the President of Nigeria in the 2015 general elections.” The Section 131 of the Constitution makes known the least educational requirement for any citizen to be a part in the presidential election while Section 31 of the Electoral Act requires all presidential candidates to tender an affidavit that they have satisfied and complied with the constitutional requirements to be President of Nigeria. Using Section 131 of the Nigerian constitution to file his suit, the originating summons marked FHC/ABJ/CS/01/2015 has Buhari as first defendant, APC second and the Independent National Electoral Commission as third defendants. Okafor, in the suit filed through his counsel, Chief Ugo Ugunnadi, has made it known that Buhari’s West African Senior School Certificate result which he released few days ago is not a genuine one, thereby making it invalid. The courts reopened today after being shut down for three weeks by the striking judicial workers in the country. However, no date has yet been fixed to hear Okafor’s originating summons. It would be recalled that just yesterday, former Nigeria’s President Olusegun Obasanjo reacted to the words of  the Presiding Bishop of the Winners Chapel Ministry of The Living Faith Church Dr. David Oyedepo.

10 ways to be happy in your marriage.

What does it take to be happy in a relationship? If you're working to improve your marriage, here are the 10 habits of happy couples we would like to share with you.   1. Go to bed at the same time Remember the beginning of your relationship, when you couldn't wait to go to bed with each other to make love? Happy couples resist the temptation to go to bed at different times. They go to bed at the same time, even if one partner wakes up later to do things while their partner sleeps. 2. Cultivate common interests After the passion settles down, it's common to realize that you have few interests in common. But don't minimize the importance of activities you can do together that you both enjoy. If common interests are not present, happy couples develop them. At the same time, be sure to cultivate interests of your own; this will make you more interesting to your mate and prevent you from appearing too dependent. 3. Walk hand in hand or side by side Rather than one partner lagging or dragging behind the other, happy couples walk comfortably hand in hand or side by side. They know it's more important to be with their partner than to see the sights along the way. 4. Make trust and forgiveness your default mode If and when they have a disagreement or argument, and if they can't resolve it, happy couples default to trusting and forgiving rather than distrusting and begrudging. 5. Focus more on what your partner does right than what he or she does wrong If you look for things your partner does wrong, you can always find something. If you look for what he or she does right, you can always find something, too. It all depends on what you want to look for. Happy couples accentuate the positive. 6. Hug each other as soon as you see each other after work Our skin has a memory of "good touch" (loved), "bad touch" (abused) and "no touch" (neglected). Couples who say hello with a hug keep their skin bathed in the "good touch," which can inoculate your spirit against anonymity in the world. 7. Say "I love you" and "Have a good day" every morning This is a great way to buy some patience and tolerance as each partner sets out each day to battle traffic jams, long lines and other annoyances. 8. Say "Good night" every night, regardless of how you feel This tells your partner that, regardless of how upset you are with him or her, you still want to be in the relationship. It says that what you and your partner have is bigger than any single upsetting incident. 9. Do a "weather" check during the day Call your partner at home or at work to see how his or her day is going. This is a great way to adjust expectations so that you're more in sync when you connect after work. For instance, if your partner is having an awful day, it might be unreasonable to expect him or her to be enthusiastic about something good that happened to you. 10. Be proud to be seen with your partner Happy couples are pleased to be seen together and are often in some kind of affectionate contact -- hand on hand or hand on shoulder or knee or back of neck. They are not showing off but rather just saying that they belong with each other. Happy couples have different habits than unhappy couples. A habit is a discrete behavior that you do automatically and that takes little effort to maintain. It takes 21 days of daily repetition of a new a behavior to become a habit. So select one of the behaviors in the list above to do for 21 days and voila, it will become a habit...and make you happier as a couple. And if you fall off the wagon, don't despair, just apologize to your partner, ask their forgiveness and recommit yourself to getting back in the habit.
